Financial Aid to offer FAF workshops
by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor

Filling out a Financial Aid Form (FAF) can
often lead to headaches, misery; or outright confusion for many students. Past FAF "survivors"
will attest to the complexity of the process.
Answering the call of confusion, LCC 's Financial Aid Department will be offering workshops
on how to properly fill out the 1992-93 FAF
starting Jan. 8, 1992, and continuing through
February. Times, dates and locations for the
workshops are posted in the Financial Aid Department.
"Because we award funds on a first-come,
first-serve basis, it's real important for students to
apply early, because it increases their chances of
having their total financial need met," says Financial Aid Director Linda Waddell.
She stresses the importance of filling the F AF
out correctly the first time, citing long delays in
processing at the Federal level if a form contains
erroneous information. Forms not fully or accurately completed will be sent back for revision,

possibly resulting in a holdup of fund disbursement.
Another advantage of sending the F AF in early
and correctly is the increased opportunity for
students to obtain a larger proportion of grant
monies as opposed to a disproportionate combination of loans coupled with grants. The chances of
being awarded college work-study also increases
with an early application, according to Waddell.
The Financial Aid Department will begin distributing the 1992-93 FAF on Friday, Nov. 22 in
an effort to give students an opportunity to study
the form. Completed applications cannot be sent
to the College Scholarship Service, the federallycontracted agency providing each financial analysis, before Jan. 1, 1992.
The workshops will explain to students exactly
what financial aid encompasses, including the
differences between grants, loans, and work-study.
The sessions, 12 in all, will cover everything in a
step-by-step process, from the first to the last
question in the FAF. Each workshop lasts about an
hour, with time set aside afterward for personal
questions any student might have.

LCC part-time English Instructor Lance Sparks says his students
rate him exceptionally well in class evaluations. They speak of him in
"glowing" terms. But Sparks, with a doctorate of arts (a teaching
doctorate), 10 years of experience at LCC, and a love for teaching,
informed LCC this week that he will not be returning to work winter
term.
He is leaving to pursue a full-time career at the Ambrosia restaurant,
where he currently works as the wine manager. Although he says he
loves to teach, and has invested 15 years in his teaching career, he can
no longer afford to be a part-time instructor.
"I love it," he says. "But I have to pay bills."
Sparks is one of206 part-time instructors on the LCC campus. Like
many of his colleagues, he is only allowed to teach five courses during
the academic year, three courses fall term, and two winter term. Each
spring term, when he
is unable to teach, he
says he goes into debt.
According to
part-time English Instructor Peter Jensen,
the number of parttime employees in the
education field is
growing - a situation that solves some
problems for educational institutions, but
creates many more
dilemmas for educators.
With an ailing
economy, and the ef1982
\{{,~,.,.,.in,.,.,.,,.,.,.,.,.,=========~
fects of Measure 5,
the college is forced
to provide more education with less money. Vice-President for Instruction Jim Ellison says
he has added over 100 courses in the Mathematics and English and
Foreign Language Departments, which has meant hiring more instructors. He says hiring part-time instructors to meet the escalating
enrollment needs at LCC is the most cost-effective staffing method the
college can use.
A part-time instructor at the very top of the part-time salary
schedule earns $590 per credit taught, while the average contracted
full-time instructor earns $840 per credit taught. Part-time instructors
are less expensive for the college to employ, both in salary and benefit
costs.
"That's the way we can provide those (additional) courses," admits
Ellison.
In addition, he says, if the need for additional transfer courses
disappears, the college can lay off part-time employees with less hassle
than would be required with a full-time instructor.
However, it isn't nearly as easy to be a part-time instructor as it is
for the college to employ one, says Jensen.
"Their flexibility is my insecurity," he says. Jensen, like Sparks,
does not teach courses spring term. Up until recently, he had the
cushion of a second job that provided insurance benefits and an income
during the six month period for which he isn't covered. However,
forced to choose between LCC and conservation fundraising, Jensen
chose to teach.
"MyfirstcommittmentistoLCC .I'mnotsureLCC'scommittrnen t
is to me," he says.
Jensen hopes eventually to be hired as a full-time instructor.
However, the college does not give hiring preference to part-time
instructors, so he and other part-timers must compete with a national
pool of applicants, which can number as many as I 00 per opening.

Environmental activism
will save water supply
Our water is pretty good here in Oregon. OSPIRG wants to bring
national water standards up to Oregon criteria.
The instances of toxic discharge into the environment from
private industry and public sewage treatment facilities has increased
alarmingly in the last 15 years.
AccordingtofiguresfumishedbytheUSPubliclnterestResearch
Group, industrial producers dumped 930million pounds of hazardous waste into the nation's waterways in 1988 - poisoning
drinking water and aquatic systems from the Great Lakes to the
Everglades.
Congress intended the 1972 Clean Water Act to reduce toxic
pollution into rivers, lakes, and streams so as to make them 100
percent "fishable and swimmable" by 1985.
But instead of improving, water quality for the most part has
become worse in the 19 years since Congress passed the law.
But Oregon's waterways are one of the exceptions to this
national plight
The Willamette River, for example, has seen remarkable quality
increases due in part to efforts by former-governors Tom McCall
and Mark Hatfield to limit toxic discharge, exact stiff penalties on
, violators, and implement a legitimate clean-up program.
Outside the state, ineffective enforcement guidelines by both
states and the federal government send messages that it pays to
pollute. Regulatory agencies, under-staffed and under-funded,
usually give major industrial polluters a "slap of the wrist" instead
of demanding significant financial reparations - monies needed to
clean up the environmental catastrophe created by industry.
In response to the many loopholes used by industrial polluters,
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Senator Frank Laute~burg (D-NJ)
have recently introduced the Clean Water Enforcement & CompliancelmprovementAmendments Act of 199·1.These amendments
strengthen enforcement powers for the regulatory agencies and
establish procedures to begin a realistic clean-up of the nation's
waterways.
Included in the package are mandatory minimum fines for
serious violators; limits on toxic discharge; and increases in reporting
and inspection requirements for the hazardous waste producers.
In an effort to get Oregon's congressional delegation to support
andco-sponsortheamendments,theOregonStudentPubliclnterest
Research Group (OSPIRG) launched a statewide Campaign Against
Toxics. OSPIRG solicited postcard signatures from students and
members of the community endorsing the amendments.
LCC-OSPIRG gathered 971 endorsements which were sent
with the University of Oregon's chapter's1700 to Rep. Peter
DeFazio in an attempt to show constituency support. Lewis and
Clark College along with Portland State University also contributed.
According to a DeFazio staff member, the postcards were instrumental in his recent decision to co-sponsor the amendments.
OSPIRG is to be commended for its endorsement campaign, not
only here at LCC, but on a statewide basis.
The group, sfar-reaching influence and environmental activism,
may, in the end, save us from ourselves.

Non-smokers must make the appropriate sacrifices
My friend Albert recently asked me how I feel
about the heated smoking debate currently raging
here on the LCC campus.
After carefully pondering possible answers to
such a loaded question, I opened my mouth, only to
find myself unable to speak.
"What's wrong?" asked Albert.
I shifted in my chair, choosing my words carefully.
"I'm not sure what you mean or where to start," I
muttered under my breath.
"Oh, great," he said, "you know more about this
issue than a lot of people, and you 're playing dumb!"
I wasn't playing dumb, he just didn't realize the
complexity of his question.
On one hand, I see a big coalition railroading the
smokers; on the other, I see neglect for the rights of
non-smokers - the:x want carcinogenic-free air.
"Don't you think student smokers should have a
warm, comfortable place to light-up? Hell, they pay
tuition like the rest of LCC," he continued.
Ah, he wanted to know if I supported college
funding of a separately ventilated and enclosed area
for the smoking population.
Very carefully, I responded. "Yes, I do think they
should have somewhere warm and dry to pursue their
addiction, but not at the expense of any academic
program. I think the tobacco industry should pay if it

really cares about keeping its customers happy."
"What?" he screamed. "How can you say that?
Cigarette companies won't go for such an asinine
idea. Do think they're made of money or some-

against the
grain

Joe Harwood
thing?"
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
Albert maliciously glared at me. I scanned the area
quickly, looking for any sharp object for which to
defend myself. Ther~ was none.
"It's a question of rights," he said, lighting up his
fourth death-stick in as many minutes. "You nonsmokers are a bunch of holier-than-thou do-gooders.
I've been smoking for 15 years and my lung feels
great!"
Albert has been bragging for years - ever since
he had his left lung removed due to cancer. He holds
the opinion that smoking harms no one but the person

with the cigarette.
"What about the rights of the people who inhale
your second-hand smoke? What kind of choice do
they have?" I asked.
"You idiot," he wheezed, "if you don't like second-hand smoke, just leave the cafeteria and quit
whining!"
He had a point. I suppose simply avoiding places
where smokers congregate would be the logical thing
to do. They do have their rights, and who am I to stand
up for mine?
"Besides," he said, "the surgeon general is full of
it. What makes him qualified to say second-hand
smoke is dangerous? The tobacco industry has done
the same studies and says nothing is harmful about
it.,,
He really had me there. Tobacco companies are
made up of scrupulous and honest individuals, with
no reason whatsoever (you know, like huge profits)
to falsify reports. The surgeon general, on the other
hand- well, we all know about his tendency to lie.
"We need to leave the campus smoking policy as
it is," he said. "It hasn't hurt anyone so far. We're
dealing with a few isolated health-freaks, that's all."
Maybe Albert was right after all. We all have to
make sacrifices, and enduring second-hand smoke
really doesn't hurt anyone . .. does it?

Displaced Homemakers are

1989, the US Census estimated that

problems with teaching part-time is that for one term
during the year, she can only teach one class, which
cuts her salary in half.
Part-time employees work on a term-to-term
basis, giving the college the option of not renewing
each contract every quarter. Long says she doesn't
worry about that as much as the fear that a full-time
instructor whose class does not fill up will "bump"
her out of one of her classes, leaving her without her
expected income.
"We kind of get the shaft," she says.

Smog linked to
ignored LTD issue
To the Editor:
For the past two months I
have been gathering information
regarding the possible contract
between Lane Community
College and Lane Transit District
(LTD). This contract, if
initialized, would provide
service to all students and/or
faculty of LCC for a per term fee
very similar to the U of 0
program.
So far, I have concluded that
neither side is willing to spend
much effort in finalizing this
contract. In short, both sides
seem to be dragging their asses.
I do agree that $10 - $11 (last
offer made to LCC by LTD) per
term per student is too much for
LCC students. That offer is more
than double what U ofO students
pay for their service.
However, I also agree that

costs would be greater to
transpor_t LCC students to their
various destinations, but to
double the costs is very
questionable.
Correct me if I am wrong, but
a transit system is developed for
specific purposes, usually being:
safe, economical transportation
for all residents, to reduce
pollution, to reduce traffic
congestion, and develop or keep
a feeling of community.
Every day the very large
parking lots of LCC (approx.
5,000 vehicle capacity) are filled
near capacity. I feel the large
number of vehicles travelling to
and from LCC contribute
substantially to the Eugene/
Springfield smog problem. In
fact, it is probably only second
to the pollution output from
freeway systems.
I ask you, does this issue
concern you? Do you breathe
the air in Eugene and
Springfield?

Torch Staff Writer
Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie
with whipped cream . . . The traditional
Thanksgiving meal represents warmth and
contentment to millions of American families.
But, it signifies pain and fear to approximately
one to two million women who suffer from eating
disorders like bulimia.
Sarah Miller (not her real name), a 45-year-old
recovering bulimic and student at LCC, says she
associated one word with the traditional holidays
that center on foods: "panic."
"My bulimia started before there was a word
for it," Miller laughs. "My mom started me
modeling when I was three years old so my whole
self-image was based on what I looked like, not
who I was."
Bulimia is an eating disorder affecting women
most, although recent statistics show it is now
affecting increasing numbers of men. Unlike the
sufferers of its sister disorder- anorexia nervosa
-who starve themselves into physical emaciation,
most bulimics go through cycles of binging on
large amounts offood and then using laxatives or
self-induced vomiting to purge.
Anorexics tend to maintain rigid self-control,
withdraw socially, and shun food to cope,
becoming underweight, according to Susan Squire,
author of "The Slender Balance." Bulimics use

food to deal with stress and emotional problems
and usually maintain an ideal body weight through
a routine rollercoaster cycle of binging and
purging, says Squire.
Most women fear their bodies, says Britt Ellis,
an LCC instructor who facilitates a weekly group
focusing on eating disorders at LCC.
"Why can't women come in more than one
size?" she asks.
Then she answers her own question:
"Corporations are making a huge profit by helping
perpetuate the fear women have of their bodies by
selling products aimed at making women modelthin. Thinness in our society is equated with
discipline, power, happiness, and desirability."

Marketing such products as diet pills, laxatives,
and food supplements (like liquid protein diets)
has led to a $37 billion a year enterprise, says Prof.
Robert Hackman, who teaches and conducts
research in nutrition at the UO. He says the industry
will probably reach a yearly mark of $55 billion by
1995.
Ellis says many women try to "de-feminize"
their bodies to achieve equality in the maledominated workplace.
"Curves have no value at work," Ellis states,
"Full hips are associated with homemaking and
mothering, which are then associated with
dependence."

In August, 1620, pilgrims
who survived the trip to America
on the Mayflower celebrated
their thanks of a new land and
healthy harvest with hearty meal
now called Thanksgiving.
Before their feast, friendly
American Indians who already
inhabited the land taught the
pilgrims how to catch fish and
harvest com in order to survive
in their new, wild environment.
Without the assistance, it is
highly unlikely the population
of less than 300 pilgrims would
have survived the winter.

about
volunteering some of their time
to speak to some Eugene grade

stereotypes first and second
graders may have .
For more information on
NASA, call Merrill at ext. 2232.

President Jocko Vechein asks fellow members for ideas to
increase student attendance at NASA meetings.

The Torch

But now, in
1991,
Thanksgiving is defined in the
New World Dictionary as a
commemoration of the Pilgrims
celebration of a good harvest.
The American Indians were
forgotten at some point during
the past 400 years while they
should be praised with their own
holiday.
"We need a national holiday
to honor the 'First Americans',"
says LCC Native American
Advocate Frank Merrill. ''The
American people have honored
a lot of their heroes like George
Washing ton, Martin Luther
King, and Columbus with a day.
Now it's time to honor the Indian
people."

The LCC Bookstore is looking for a few families that are "falling
through the cracks" of the various traditional holiday assistance campaigns.
For the fourth consecutive year, the bookstore will be accepting
nominations from the college community to help provide a special
Christmas for one or more LCC student families in need of special
help.
"We'll select one or more student families and buy them food for
the holidays and a gift for each family member," says Bookstore
Manager Shelley Dutton.
Dutton and her staff plan to raise money for the event through a
bake sale on Dec. 9 in the second floor Center Building lobby and a
quilt raffle. The four donated quilts are currently
on display in the bookstore. Tickets cost $1
each and a separate drawing for each quilt
will take place on Dec. 12 at 2 p.m.
The number of families selected to receive assistance will depend on the proceeds of the two fund raisers. "Usually
there are some people who stick-out
among all the potential nominations," she
says. Criteria for which families are selected varies, but demonstrating a definite
need is necessary.
Of the three families chosen for assistance last year, Dutton says each showed a
special, but very different need.
Individuals interested in nominating a
student family can obtain applications
at the bookstore before 5 p.m., Dec. 5.
Selection will begin the following
day.

"I'm really excited about this,"

interested in setting up one too,
but don't have anything to compare to."
Ferguson has a master's de-

Assertiveness training builds self-esteem
by KELLI J. RAY
Torch staff writer
Last week, Evette Patt and her foster care provider,
Sharon Dominy, told the Torch about Patt falling off a
cliff, going into a coma, and spending 2 1/2 years in a
wheelchair. She also suffered partial nerve damage.
This was the result of a car crash in a vehicle driven by
her then-husband while they were partying with their
friends.
Patt and Dominy told the Torch that Patt is enrolled
in a class which is part of the LCC Adults with Special
Needs Program, held through the Adult Basic Education Program.
According to Steve Carter, Patt's assertiveness
training instructor, Patt isn't typical of many students
in the class, because she doesn't have a lifelong learning disability. She has more recent brain damage, and

"she's had a real loss."
"The first step is self-esteem, he says." This includes rebuilding their views of themselves. According to Carter, Patt has good life skills, and is one of the
best students in class.
One of the most imponant learning methods in class
is the use of a video tape to show students how they can
improve themselves, and one of the most commonly
used exercises in instruction is role-playing.
In class, students role-play conflicts between roommates, care provdiers, and friends and lovers. Carter
says it takes courage to get up in front of a class and do
this.
In fact, Carter is considering having Patt come to an
LCC driver education class and talk to the students
about drunk driving, because that would "really convey amessage" about driving responsibly, which would
also help Patt.

SPOCK SRYS, "IT IS LOGICAL TO RECYCLE." SO DO IT.

November 22, 1991

The Torch

ASLCC' s "most highly profiled" group may soon be an inadequate student-service provider if Student Resource Center Director
Tony Rice doesn't find volunteers to staff the center through the end
of the term.
Located on the second floor of the Center Building, the SRC
deals with many students on a personal basis. Normally staffed from
8 a.m. until 9 p.m., students who are lost, or need information about
services on campus can take advantage of the SRC.
The center provides information concerning bus schedules,
carpool and rideshare opportunities for students, as well as operating bulletin boards and a reader board on campus. Three of these
boards are specifically for student use in selling items, finding
housing or roommates, and other such advertisements. The SRC
also provides information about off-campus childcare, off-campus
employment opportunities, and campus programs that address
special needs, such as the Women's Program, and Technology and
Life Needs (TALN). A prominent feature of the SRC is the free
coffee offered each Wednesday.
For the remainder of the term, however, students seeking SRC
assistance may find self-service the only alternative.
According to Rice, his last work study student will run out of paid
hours Friday, Nov. 22. When that happens, he alone will be
rcsponsi ble for working in the center, except for the two employees
he anticipates will stay on as volunteers.
Rice says a reduction in work study students on campus has
caused the staffing problem. The SRC should ideally have 23
people working, he says, but this term, he's had only five employees, including his assistant director. Several jobs have gone unfulfi lled, including transportation director, housing coordinator, childcare coordinator, and OSPIRG liaison.
He attributes the lack in work study students to the new financial
aid formula in effect this year.
According to Joan Adams, assistant director of the Job Placement Office, the new formula increases the amount of money a
student can earn through work study from $550 per term to $900.
With more ~oney going out, fewer students can receive work study,
however. This, she thinks, may be why departments such as the SRC
are feeling a crunch.
"We're running on fumes," says Rice. "Right now, the SRC is
nothing. There's so much the SRC can do, but we don't have the
people power to do it."
Some of the possibilities Rice says he is pursuing include encouraging his staff and other students to volunteer their services free of
charge until the end of the term. Student government members are
pitching in as well, says Rice, assisting with the coffee on Wednesdays.

all, talent. Dan Clark wants to prove to the world

that he is an executer of a dream, one that entails
hard work and the sheer pleasure he receives out
of making movies.
Clark's dream now seems to be unfolding before
him in his firstfiveminutefilmentitiled "Chu Chu
Train." It's a project he began in the summer of
1990, and completed a year later with the help of
his brother Mark Johnson, and his main
cameraman, Benjamin Bebee.
Clark, who admires silent film star Buster
Keaton, directs his main character Gilligan Brown

Disorders

in a black and white silent film. Taking place on
the train tracks near the U of O's Autzen Stadium,
the movie is set to music and features fast-paced
footage of trains thundering by.
"My objective in making the film was to make
the audience think one thing and then doublecross
them," states Clark.
Clark and his crew often learned by trial and
error, and found the locations to be limiting by
nature.
"We never knew when the trains would come
through, so we'd have to wait out in the bushes for
them. At one point, a tri-pod was set up on the
tracks for a particular shot, and was blown to bits
by a train that was unexpected," laughs Clark.
He is now busy putting the finishing touches on
the film before he sends it off to film festivals such
as the Student Academy Awards. There it will be
judged by Price Waterhouse, the same agency that
works on the regular Academy Awards. Clark
says he will enter his film in the "dramatic event"
category, which is one of four divisions, and has
the chance of winning up to $2,000 in scholarships
and a 14-week film-making internship.
In retrospect, Clark believes that he always had
the desire to make movies. He credits LCC film
instructor David Joyce for teaching him the
fundamentals of storyboarding. It's the technique
Clark says enabled him to put his story ideas down
on paper in an organized way.
"This is my second year here at Lane in the
Media Arts and Technology Department and I
love it. If it weren't for the film classes which are
the best in the Northwest, my film wouldn't have
turned out as well as I wanted," he says.
Clark plans to finish out this year at LCC, then
transfer to either the American Film Institute,
OSU, or schools in Britain if he receives some
scholarships. Currently, he is in the planning
stages of his nexr project, which is an
autobiographical animation film about child abuse
titled "Danny."

Telecourses offer LCC
flexibility, convenience
by HWANG HYE CHEUN
for the Torch
The college will add the
English Composition series,
121-123, to its winter term
telecourses.
LCC has offered telecourses
since 1979 says Cynthia
Leathers, who coordinates the
telecourse program. Telecourses
began in order to meet some
students' needs for convenience
and flexibility in their schedules.
Currently, 850 students are
enrolled in 14 telecourses for
college credit this fall. A
telecourse usually has 30 to 100
students, but this term two
classes, Medical Terminology 1
and Concepts of Computing,
have over 100 students.
Without classroom attendance, students in telecourses
need to motive themselves to
stay on schedule, says Leathers.
Students are required to view
weekly telelessons on TV at
home or the LCC Library, and
come to campus three to five
times each term to receive
orientation, get individual
assignments, take periodic
exams, and speak with
instructors.

Telecourses are broadcast on

Campbell's comedic portrayal
of a half-witted flapper is both
visually and audibly hysterical. In
the Nov. 15 opening night production Campbell appeared to have an
endless supply of hilarious expressions that kept the audience
roaring.

Wilson is a breath of fresh air. His
characterization is uncomplicated,
boyish and naively humorous. You

Missal's paintings "Saint
Sabastian," and "Model on Rug,

efforts to take known objects,
and put them together to express

'Working with these forms towards a sense of harmony gives
me great pleasure," says Missal.
"It is a way of touching upon
logic and order, which is a way of
touching upon beauty."

"Parade," a bright painting of
a shelf filled with glass and ceramic pitchers and figurines,
demonstrates Missal's expertise
as a still-life painter. He captures
reflecting light, and gives the work
a sense of floating.

Missal spoke to a large group
composed mainly ofLCC art students during an artist lecture,
Monday Nov.18. A selection of
his work, including a life size
painting of a horse, will be on
exhibit in the LCC Art Department Gallery until Dec. 6.

The painting of"Pete," the life
size Belgium horse, took Missal
over four months to complete. He
said he studied through pictures,
drawings, anatomical textbooks,
and measurements he took directly from the horse.

The painter says he sometimes
creates metaphorically, but he also
uses formal devices to help viewers of his work experience a specific idea without always knowing why.
"A lot can be hidden in a painting that helps it form movement
from all directions," says Missal.
''The use of circles and lines hidden in the painting gives it a sense

"Thinking through can go on for

When creating a mural, Missal also considers the environment in which it will be viewed.

The cast's British accents were inconsistent. At one point Mary
Mason actually sounded French. Individual performances are strong at
times and strained at others which lead to an uneven evening.
But, Kathryn 0. Linn's costumes reflect rank and wealth in both

In 1980, the Lane Dance
Theatre (LDT) was formed to
bring dance from LCC into the
community and to provide dance
students with the opportunity to
perform.
The group has performed for
the Parks and Recreation Department and the Eugene area
schools.
"The dance theatre can increase the kid's interest and appreciation of dance, and offer
them exposure to dance they may
not get otherwise," says Mary

Seereiter, LDT advisor. "Plus, it
offers good exposure for the
Lane dance program, and helps
develop an audience."
LDT recently received approval from ASLCC for a $500
grant for the 1991-92 school year,
to pay for choreographers and a
musician to bring music and
dance into the same atmosphere,
according to Seereiter.

something they would want to
pursue."
LDT is planning an audition
for new members winter term.
All members must be LCC dance
students, but the levels of experience can vary.

"The goal for students in the
dance)heatre is to give them the
environment found in a professional dance company," says
Seereiter. "It's good experience.
The students can get a feel for
performing and decide if it's

"Auditions are important,"
says Seereiter. "It makes dancers take their commitment to the

harder to get there."

Armchair quarterbacks play by their own rules
by ED JESSIE
Torch Sports Editor
It's Monday night. Like a
Phoenix rising once a week from
the ashes, so comes the armuschairius quarterbus-ackius, (more
commonly known as the "armchair quarterback.")
The night is his. It is devoted
entirely to watching two NFL
teams battle for blood and bragging rights on the gridiron. This
week-Buffalo at Miami.
Nonnal procedure for his night
of frolic and football is as follows:
•First contact fellow "quarterbacks" and decide on an acceptable host for the night.
It is then the host's job to provide all amenities for viewing the
game.
These include: beer (brand and
quantity depend on QB), chips
and/or pretzels, a clear path to the
bathroom, and of course, the ever
essential remote control.
As the guest QBs arrive, they
usually identify themselves by
their garb: Sweats and hats
adorned with logos of said QB's
favorite team. And hopefully for
the host, the guests will bring more
beer and pretzels.
•Next, establish the seating order: The best seating varies with
order of arrival and size of QBs.
One note on seating; the host always gets the Laz-Y-Boy.
"Pre-game" consists of a feeding frenzy on pretzels, chips, and
Coor's Light Longnecks. With
only minutes before kickoff, the

feeding leads to hurried bathroom
trips, followed by a revised seating order (prior conditions still
apply).
The game begins.
Only seconds after kickoff, and
the "house" crowd comes alive.
"Where the hell did that penalty flag come from!?," yells one
crowd member. "Check out
Bennett on the outside!!," yells
another.
There is always a lull in the
action as the first T.V. timeout
comes. This brings forth the first
"armchair" play of the game.
•The blitz. To effectively run
this play, one must successfully
"blitz" his opponents to the bathroom. Only a couple of guys rise
from their seats, since the beer
hasn't hit most of them yet.
During the ensuing commercials, one guest feels compelled to
ask the host for the remote. Silence falls on the party, broken
only by the jingle on the commercial.
Rule #1 at the host's house;
NEVER ask for the remote.
Luckily, the ill-mannered guest
is joking, for he knows the rules.
The game comes back on and
the tenseness passes. Soon a cry
for more Silver Bullet comes from
the crowd.
The host infonns the guests the
location of the refrigerator. They
already know the location, so they
counter with "the host is responsible for-."
"Touchdown, Buffalo!"
Guests ignore the lack of beer

as they watch the instant replay of
Thurman Thomas catching Jim
Kelly's 10 yard pass.
When concern for beer returns,
so comes the second "armchair"
play of the game.

The QB with the shortest straw
"runs" to the closest 7-11, grabs
four half-racks of boules, a half
case of pretzels, and returns to the
game house.
By the time the runner returns,
the third quarter is almost over.

An armchair quarterback settling into his native environment on a Monday night.
•The pass. In this play, the
"quarterback" grabs as much
Coor's Light and pretzels (he's
thinking ahead) as he can, and
throws them to the "receivers."
(AKA guest QBs.)
Soon it is halftime. More beer
and pretzels have been consumed
than expected. Here is the third
"armchair" play.
•The run. They draw straws to
decide the identity of the runner.

"What the hell took you so scoring the last touchdown of the
long!?" is one of the more polite game.
Final score: Buffalo - 41, Miinquiries directed at the runner.
As the beer flows and pretzels ami - 27.
Soon after the game, the guests

All that's left is the host turned
in the fourth quarter, the fonner
beer runner, unable to hold out housewife, picking up the remany longer, rises and darts toward nants of the festivities.

New Titans· coa~h brings winning tradition to LCC
by TONY SEMINARY
Torch Sports Reporter
Dr. Jim Boutin begins his first season, Nov. 22 at South West
Oregon Community College (Coos Bay), as an LCC basketball coach,
but it will be his 26th in coaching basketball, and the 24th season at the
collegiate level.
Boutin came to LCC this year after a one..year absence from the
coaching ranks. Originally an Oregonian, he applied at LCC "because
they had a nice school and I heard of their good reputation. This is an
ideal situation for me because I'm close to where I was born and raised,

the bathroom. Thus comes "armchair" play four.
•The run-and-shoot. This play
is easily accomplished, the
"player" simply "runs" to the
bathroom, and "shoots."
He returns to find the Dolphins

Powers (Ore.). I also like the staff and people here, and being at LCC
gives me a chance to coach my son, James."
Boutin began coaching in 1965 at the fonner Washington H.S. in
Portland.
In 1967, at the age of 24, he took the job at Willamette University
in Salem. "I had two players my first year that were older than me,"
reflected Boutin.
Boutin went 194-130 in 12 years at Willamette and was 24-5 in
197 5, setting a school record for wins, and advancing to the third round
of the NAIA national championships.

"During my 26 years of
coaching I've had six players
drafted into the NBA, and every
one of them, strangely enough,
was from my NAIA schools,"
explained Boutin.
His next stop was at Western
Oregon State College (WOSC) in
Monmouth. Before Boutin came
to WOSC, the school had experiencecl 13 straight losing seasons,
and his first team there went 6-20.
But thereafter1 compiled a total
record ofl 13-31, including a 30-2
recordinl982,rankingthemsixth
in the nation.
In 1985, Boutin had a 76.9
percentage winning rate, the second highest percent in NAIA
history.
In April of 1985, Idaho State
came calling. He inheritecl a program that had been on NCAA
probation, was picked to finish
last in the Big Sky Conference,
and had only one winning season

OSPIRG'S EUGENE BANKING Survey
is now available in the Center Bldg. basement.

in the last six years.
He led the them to a 15-12
record, his inaugural year in
Pocatello, the first winning season for ISU since 1978.
In his second season at ISU
they won the Big Sky tournament. By winning the tourney,
ISU clinched a bid to the 64 team
NCAA playoffs.
Salt Lake City, Utah. His ISU
team was pairecl against the University Nevada-Las Vegas
Runnin' Rebels (UNLV), the
number-one ranked team in the
nation at the time. In the first
round his Bengals were upended
95-71.
The squad ended its Cinderalla
year at 15-16. "Besides making it
to the NCAA's, the highlight of
the season was when we beat the
Oregon Ducks in the 'pit.' This
was our school's first road win
over a Pac-10 team ever," added
Boutin.

However,inthenextfewyears
the wins decreased and the attendance dwindled. In the summer of
1990 Boutin "just decided it would
be best to leave Idaho State."
After taking a sabbatical from
coaching for one year. he went
back to college to get his administrative credentials. That's when
he heard of the vacant coaching
job at LCC and put in his application.
James, his son, now plays for
the Titans. He was named Idaho's
high school player of the year in
1990. He transferred to LCC after
one year at Pacific Lutheran
University (Wash.).
"My family has been very
supportive and showed me love
and compassion. After I left Idaho
St., I thought that maybe my
coaching career was over. I cannot even begin to express how
important they are to me," said
Boutin.
