Foreign students share .holiday experiences
by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor

For most Americans the holiday season conjures
images of warm evenings with family, decorated evergreen trees, and over-crowded malls with frenzied,
procrastinating shoppers spending money on loved ones.
However, many of LCC's international students see
the winter holidays a bit differently. They come from
cultures around the world where celebrations during
this time are as varied as the students themselves.
The biggest difference between America and other
countries, say many international students, is the intense retail campaigns. The students say commercial
seasons start later in their respective countries, and have
less significance.
"Christmas for us is a chance to get together with
family and forgive people we're mad at," says Mexico

City native Juan Valle'. He says in Mexico, people tend
to observe Christmas in a more traditional manner.
Family members act out the struggle of the biblical
Mary and Joseph seeking shelter prior to the binh of
Jesus. Valle' says members or his family will go outside
and knock on the door until a "kindly" samaritan opens
up. Waiting inside is a real-life nativity scene consisting
of family.
Like America, Valle' says during the Christmas
season "people get more caring and give more to the

poor."

Another International student, PG Brian Gunarathne
from Sri Lanka says Buddhists and Christians in Sri
Lanka, a former British colony, celebrate each other's
most important holiday together. Gunarathne, a Buddhist, says he often exchanges gifts and talces part in the
Christmas celebrations with his Christian friends. On
his holy day of Wesak, when Buddhists celebrate the
birth, death, and enlightenment of Buddha, those same

friends share in the festivities.
As to the retail aspect of the season, he laughs, "We
have Christmas sales, but no Wesalc sales in Sri Lanka."
Pat Williams, LCC International Students Community Program coordinator, says many of the students
tend to come together during the holidays and travel to
various places like Sun River.

Williams tries to place willing foreign students with
American families during the holidays, so an exchange
of culture for both can take place.
"Sometimes," she says, "the host families will talce
on the holiday customs of the student and incorporate
that custom into their yearly celebrations.
"The thing we need to keep in mind about the
holidays is that we don't want anyone of them to have
a lonely time ... an extension of friendship through a
handshake, or an invitation for a meal will make the
students feel as though they belong to the world."

Part-time instructors: Are they as effective as full-timers?
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor

Editor's note: This is the fi-

nal installment of a two-part series examining the status ofparttime instructors at the community coLLege level.
The motivating factor in keeping part-time instructors at LCC,
admits Vice-Presidentoflnstruction Jim Ellison, is saving
money.
Due to the implications of
Ballot Measure 5, budget cuts,
and because of the recession, increasing numbers of students will
look to LCC for an inexpensive
alternative to four-year colleges.
LCC must meet the increasing

demand for college transfer
courses, says Ellison.

•rhey (pgrt-timers)
really give a lot.·
Tom Wayne
The most cost-effective
method of doing this, says Ellison, is hiring part-time instructors, who arc less expensive for
the college to employ.
It looks good on paper, say
some part-timers. But the question always crops up: Can parttime instructors be as effective
as full-timers? They earn less

money than full-timers, spend
about half the time on campus
that full-timers spend, and are
subject to more outside stresses
(holding a second job, experiencing money problems, lacking family health insurance).
"I don't th.ink ... that it (having
part-time instructors) affects the
students," says Social Science
Part-Time Instructor Clif Trolin. "In fact," he says, "It may
actually help them."
Part-time instruclors may
actually have more time to devote to grading, or assigning
extensive research projects, than
do full-timcrs with full teaching
loads.

Trolin himself devotes a lot
of time 10 his department. even
though he's not required to do
so. ParHimers arc required to
have only one office hour for
each class they teach. In contrast. full-timers arc required to
be on campus for at least 30
hours per week.
The English, Foreign Language and Speech Department
employs 28 part-timers in addition to 28 full-timers. This creates a negative impact on the
department, says Department
Head Jack Powell, because fulltime instructors have a constant,
vested interest in the department.
They provide continuity and sta-

bility, as well as contribute to
the educational policy decisions
the department makes.
The department would be
stronger with more full-time
contracted people, Powel I says.
But the quality of education
students receive isn't negatively
affected by the high number of
part-timers in the department.
Art Department Administrative Coordinator Kitty Seymour
says I.he part-timers in her department, six in total, provide
excellent instruction. In fact, the
work they do outside the college
often enhances their performances in the classroom, she says.

Currently operating at 21
locations around the Eugene/
Springfield area, PSR provides
the security of an imposing, welltrained security dog for any
woman wanting to run or powerwalk without the fear of attack.
Reecher, founder of the nonprofit business, says the over
9,500 "safe runs" attest to the
success of the program - with
no bites or attacks since its inception in 1981. Reecher attributes the zero attempted assault
rate over the last 10 years to the
visual deterrent a bigger dog
provides.

The dogs, which are all

Forensics team speakers Women ·would like to keep clothes on·
now hHting their strides

by SONJA TAYLOR
Torch Staff Writer

LCC's Forensics team has improved greatly over the last four
years, according to team member Andrea Pasutti. She says, "I was
on the team when it first started, I think four years ago, and back then
the team was so new and awkward, we didn't know what to do. The
team has made so much progress. Now instead of several individuals, we 're functioning as one unit."
Recently the team travelled to a competition at Linfield College
in McMinnville. Each of the seven LCC students who competed,
took a third-place in at least one round of competition.
In Informative Speaking, an original factual speech, Shane
Shafer made the final round of competition with a speech on wool.
In his second tournament ever, Ryan Frank took third-place in the
third round of novice Informative Speaking. Brandon Cox, also in
his second tournament, received a third place in his third round of
Novice Extemporaneous Speaking.
In Prose Interpretation, Gabrielle Cordero took a first place and
Bryan Behan took a third place. Also competing in this category,
was Andrea Pasutti barely missed earning a berth in the finals but
earned nothing lower than a third place in any of her rounds. Dan
Clark, assistant coach, was a finalist in the areas of Dramatic
Interpretation and Programmed Oral Interpretation.
''Two of our brand new students are making finals and receiving
trophies this term. All of our students have received, at one time or
another, a good ranking and we also see our new students moving
steadily upward," says team coach Barbara Breaden.
The team's next competition will be held at the Pacific Lutheran
University on Jan. 10-11.

Mentor program teams employees, students
by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Managing Editor

Students who are feeling
alone or need a "safety net" to
increase their chances of succeeding a LCC now have a new
program at their disposal.
Any registered student can
sign up for a personal mentor.
According to Barton, a mentor is a staff member who volunteers part of his/her time to help
a student.
"The mentor program is only
a term old, but has been a great
addition to LCC," says Carrol
Barton, LCC cataloging assistant and head of the mentor program.
Barton says Classified (employee) Council established the
voluntary program to keep the
students, staff, and college better connected. The idea is to keep
students in school, and to give
staff the opportunity to keep up
with new students by providing
them with an "early warning
system" for detecting changes in
needs and characteristics of each
new student population.

which the student most needs
assistance.
Through the program students
may be able to form necessary
connections with the aid of a
mentor, says Barton.

"Say, as a mentor, l have a
student that's doing bad in calcul us. I can't necessarily help do
the work, but as a staff member,
I amfamiliarwith with the school
and the members in it, so I can
get them over to the Math Department and find someone that
can help them," says Barton.
Barton also says the mentor
might also monitor the student's
progress and give them support
when they need it.
After the student becomes familiar with LCC's campus and
what it has to offer, the mentor
will usually be there for the student throughout the term.
"We have a lot of staff and

students who remain friends
through the program, so a lot of
the staff members will keep their
person throughout the year," says
Barton.

Maral yn Shepherd, a full-time
employee in student records, was
assigned to mentor a 28-yearold married woman who decided
to go back to school after many
years.
Shepherd says she first signed
up to be a mentor to help promote
the college, but found it offered
her much more. Being a mentor
has given her a new perspective
on her job.
"We can lose sight of the fact
that we are here to serve students
and not to make life easier for
ourselves," she says.
Shepherd reports that because
she was able to help, the student
is doing just fine now and loves
her classes.

"Now we've decided we will
no longer confine the program to
just new students," says Barton.
She says new students will easily benefit, "but if there are returning students who need a
mentor, they are welcome to sign
up."
Students sign up for a mentor
by filling out a form located at
the counseling desk, on the secondfloorof the Center Building.
Volunteers will pair a student
with a staff member who is suited
to the student's particular area of
interest or major. The mentor
will contact the student by phone '
in an effort to find the area in

Art versus obscenity: Does nudity mean exploitation?

"Cheesy," "sleazy," and in "poor taste," are the
• words being used by some to describe the Nov. 22 cover
of the Torch showing a nude woman braiding her hair.
Some members of the college community felt the
photo to be risque. Some even said it sent a "negative
image" of LCC to the
very supportive outside community.
The Torch felt its
choice to print such
a photo was sound.
• The cover is a
photo of a painting
on public display at
the LCC Art Gallery.
• The depiction is
good
art, not
"sleazy" pornography. There is nothing erotic or sexual
in the pose, wording,
or situation presented in the painting that could be
considered obscene.

• Most of all, the cover was newsworthy. A full-page
story on muralist Paul Missal ran on page 9 of the same
issue.
Included in the current issue of the Torch, are two
responses from women who did not think our choice
was appropriate.
Susan Dunne, LCC English Composition instructor,
makes some exceptionally good points:
Women's bodies have been "objectified" for centuries, no doubt about it. The objects of many famous and
praised paintings and sculptures are of women. Many
are also in tribute and admiration to the inherent beauty
of the female body and persona.
Unfortunately, using women for monetary or commercial gain continues. Look in most magazines or
simply tum on the television: women's bodies are used
to sell everything from beer to perfume - in sexuallycharged situations and poses. The exploitation of the
"fairer sex" continues, and will proliferate until such
time as the consuming public rejects both the patent
sexism and sexuality in advertising so prevalent in this
country. We should all be more sensitive to this issue,
especially when the content humiliates or degrades
women.

The Torch did neither, however. Had the photo been
lewd in any way, it would not have been published,
because that would have been exploitation.
Another respondent, Sally Meadow, dares the Torch
to "prove her wrong" and publish a nude male cover for
the next issue. In fact, among the works of Missal
currently on display at the Gallery is a portrait of a nude
male bound with rope at the wrists, with knives floating
across the picture. The likely sado-masochistic undertones immediately disqualified such a work as cover
material.
To say or infer that the Torch was sexist in its
decision to run a nude work of art on the cover, male or
female, is an over-generalization.
In the era of the "politically correct" college campus,
sensitivity and censorship often seem to run hand-inhand, especially when the issue is of a racial or sexual
nature. We happily acknowledge our lack of proper
political correctness.
In hindsight, theTorch should have considered that in
publishing for a truly mass audience, some people
would object to the "sub-texts" that come with female
nudity. The Torch can't satisfy everybody on this issue;
exploitation in the past makes readers feel suspect at any
nudity- even when it's not warranted.

America:
War is an ugly thing,
but not the ugliest of things: The
decayed and degraded state of
moral and patriotic feeling which
thinks that nothing is worth war
is much worse.
• A man who has nothing
for which he is willing to fight,
nothing he cares about more than
his own personal safety, is a
miserable creature who has no
chance of being free, unless made
and kept so by the exertions of

better men than himself.
It is all right to have, and
express, a different viewpoint
than the one I listed above.
However, it is not acceptable to
harass me because I agree with
it. I have never approached students wearing clothing bearing
peace insignias or causes. So
why can't those students practice the tolerance they are
preaching, and allow others to
think differently than themselves?

"Neverinthehistoryofcomic

says Darrel Grimes, referring to
the latest issue of DC Comics,
"Robin and the Joker's Will!"
Grimes, owner of Nostalgia
Collectibles,257WillametteSt.,
and Emerald City Comics, 770
E. 13th St., oughttoknow; He's
been in the comic book retail
business for 17 years.
Grimes also knows a good
marketing gimmick when he sees
one.Andheadmitsthatmultiple
issues withdifferentcovers gracing just one story line (such as
"The Joker's Wild") are meant
"for the serious collector," adding, "even on its own, it's a good
buy at $1.50 apiece."
However, if patronizing a
local industry with an altemative non-corporate twist is more
to your liking, then consider
Portland's Dark Horse Comics.

"Alternative comics give artists a chance to break into the
business," says Grimes. "Now

comic books of movies such as,
"101 Dalmatians, The Rescuers

And Marvel Comics'
"Spiderman"and the brand new
superhero group, "X-Men" ($1$1.75each),are"real,realpopular with schoolage kids," she
says.
For adults who relish "stories
that work the mind," Hodges
suggests DC Comic's "Sandman" ($1.50).

It took Galileo 16 years to master the Universe.

You have one night.

It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few
short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the
dreaded astronomy exam.
On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps
keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So
even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.
HGalileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar
system faster, too.

DearS&L;
I don't understand it. I'm so
tired. I can't concentrate in school
andlfeelreally ill sometimes. My
friend says it's because I haven't
slept over two hours in the past
week, but I think it's something
the government is putting in the
water supply.

Maybe if I slept more I'd feel
better, but I have so much homework I don't think I can afford to.
My friend also says I drink too
much coffee, but I think aliens
have laid eggs in our nation's
Ramen noodle supply. Am I being eaten from the inside or should
I get some rest? Ifl get some rest,
will I pass my courses?

AIDS doesn ' t

"Shanti"...In Indian Sanskrit
it means inner peace. In Lane
County, it means emotional
support for AIDS patients and
their friends and relatives.
According to Lane County
Shanti Chairperson M.L.
Church, over the last 10 years 74
people in Lane County have developed AIDS, 53 of whomhave
died.
Church says Shanti is primarily a support organization offering education and services
intended to help people deal with
the psychological impact of
AIDS.

"When someone is first diagnosed, there is sometimes an
extreme emotional reaction,"
says Church "Some people go
through the grieving processdenial, grief,.acceptance. Some
people never accept it."
Individual and group counseling programs are available
for HIV/AIDS clients and their
friends, lovers, and families.
Through rural outreach and
speaker programs for schools
and groups, Shanti makes sure
people in rural areas are educated and know where they can
get help.
Shanti also works as an information network, providing referrals for clients for legal ser-

vices and medical assistance.
"There is a pretty good social
service network in the county,"
says Church. "But there are still
cracks that people can fall
through."
Volunteers, from teenagers
to men and women in their 60s,
make up the largest ponion of
the Shanti staff.
"I think sometimes Shanti is
seen as a gay agency. That bothers me, because it isn't," says
Church. ''The organization is
made up of people of different
races, sexes and sexual orientation-it's areal mix of people."
Noy
student
LCC
Ouanbengboun volunteers an
average of 8 hours per week

answering 15-20 phone calls.
"I like helping others. I'm
learning more about AIDS and
trying to educate my friends," he
says.
Of Shanti' s working budget,
90-95 percent comes from community donations andfundraising.
On Sat Oct. 26, Shanti 's annual costume ball and silent auction raised approximately
$11,000, a $1,000 increase from
last year.
"I am really pleased with the
amount of support we received
f1om both merchants and individuals," Church says. "It was a
fun and successful evening."
At least a dozen Shanti programs run in the country.

Awareness week brings AIDS to p~bli c eye
by NOY OUANBENGBOUN

Torch Staff Writer

During Dec 2-7, AIDS awareness week, the disease was once
again in the public eye.
Speeches, vigils, and special music marked it's observance in
Eugene and Springfield.
Since June of 1981 , when the first cases of AIDS were reported
by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) more than 120,000
Americans have died of AIDS, and an estimated 1,000,000 other
Americans are infected with HIV. Out of the million. 20 percent
are expected to die within a year.
Today, AIDS is the leading killer of men ages 25-44 and will
be among the top five killers of women in the same age group by
the end of 1991.
In the US, 86 percent of those who die of AIDS are gay and
bisexual men, or IV drug users of both sexes.
Heterosexuals can also receive the virus through unprotected
sex. Well-known basketball player, Earvin "Magic" Johnson of
the LA Lakers, who insists that he has "never had a homosexual
relationship," tested positive for the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
Johnson doesn't have AIDS yet, but has the virus that causes AIDS
and his message now is, "If I can get it, anybody can."
The main means of transmission of AIDS is through the
exchange of body fluids through anal, oral, or vaginal sex with an
infected person. Transmission is also possible through intravenous drug usage, an HIV contaminated blood transfusion, and

through fluid exchanges between an infected mother to her fetus.
"Hugging, kissing (dry), massaging, cuddling, and caressing
are considered some of the safe activities," says the American
College Health Association.
There are a few ways a person can protect him/herself from the
AIDS virus-the most effective method of protection is abstinence from sexual contact. But if a person decides to have sex, he/
she should be sure to use a latex condom. And people should
reduce the number of partners with whom they have sex, to reduce
risk.
Scientists have not developed a cure yet, and don't expect one
for a while. The only medication available besides Azidothymidine (AZT} is Dideoxyinosine (DOI), which slows down the
replication of IDV in the body.
DDI is a new medication approved on Oct. 9 of this year by the
FDA. But it has two major side affects: peripheral neuropathy, a
type of nerve damage; and pancreatitis, an inflammation to the
pancreas; says one of the information specialists at the National
AIDS Hotline.
People who are concerned and have been debating about being
tested for the AIDS virus should contact the Whitebird Clinic at
484-4800, or the Lane County Health Department at 687-4041 in
Eugene for free, anonymous testing. Anyone needing further
information on AIDS or safe sex workshops in the are should
contact the Willamette AIDS Council/Shanti at 342-5088 weekdays from 9-5 p.m. or the 24 hour National AIDS Hotline at l-800342_AIDS.

Lcc·s concern for missing student surprises parents
By TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor

Sandy Bryson discovered that
in a world full of apathy, the
desire to "do the right thing" still
exists among LCC students.

face appeared on yellow flyers
tacked up around campus three
weeks ago. The flyers bore the
bold headline "missing," and the
message appealed to the LCC
community for information
about Cook's whereabouts.
Bryson says Cook had been

three weeks after leaving a note

"Our concern was not that
she was gone, but for her safety,"
says Bryson.
Early attempts to locate Cook
through law enforcement agen-

cies proved futile, says Bryson.
"We didn't have anything to
go on," she says.
As a last resort, Bryson and
her husband contacted LCC,
hoping that the campus community might provide some clues
as to Cook's whereabouts.

immediately," she says. She and
her husband posted the flyers,
which had a photograph of Cook,
a brief synopsis of the situation,
and phone numbers to call with
any information.
"All we needed was a lead,"
she says.
The flyers produced very
positive results, says Bryson.
Although there weren't a lot of
phone calls, the people who did
call were very concerned about
Cook, she says. The people she
talked to "felt bad" and wanted
to help in any way possible.
"These people felt enough
concern to pick up a quarter and
call. In a world that's apathetic,
there are people that care," says
Bryson.
Bryson told the Torch that
Cook called home three weeks
after disappearing, and is now at
home. Although the phone calls
proved unnecessary, says
Bryson, she and her husband
were both touched and surprised
by the response to the flyer.
The students and faculty
"opened up to us as parents,"
says Bryson. "People do care,
and for that we're eternally grateful."

Sununu to negotiate with groundhogs on economy
Originally I had intended to use this space to write a
serious commentary on the meaning of Christmas in
America. However, since I couldn't find anything meaningful to say about either Santa Claus or shopping, I
decided not to be serious.
Instead, I thought I would share with Torchreaders what
some other Americans are planning to do for Christmas.
• President George Bush is going home to
Kennebunkport to spend the holidays with his family.
While there he will draft his State of the Union address
entitled "It's Dusk in America But It'll Never be Dark
While I'm President."
• Three of Jesse Helms' largest contributors will be
having a film festival in his honor. Films to be shown are

in the cards for soon-to-be former White House Chief of
Staff John Sununu. While there he will be conducting
government business. He will encourage other vacationers to spend money more freely, he will negotiate with
local groundhogs about disregarding the economic shadows they will be seeing in February, and he will discuss
the national unemployment problems in the resort bar
with anyone who will listen.
•Ted Turner and Jane Fonda will be staying in Atlanta
over the holidays where they will watch Miracle on 34th
Street on WTBS, The Champagne Bowl on TNT.

Another Side

Rambo: Part IV The Prince of Peace, Smoking is Good
for Your Hea/th, No No Nanette, and a 24-hour extravaganza of the Anny-McCarthy hearings. Free cigarettes,
anti-abortion bumper stickers, and unscented manure
will be provided for all. Unwed young mothers may
attend if they remain barefoot and pregnant.
• Toon Carlijo of the Oregon Citizens Alliance says
Christmas is special to her but she promises to be just as
self-righteous as always.
• California Senator Alan Cranston is having a big
dinner with his family. They will be dining on turkey
provided by the American Poultry Assn, crow provided
by the U.S. Senate, and for dessert, chocolate money
donated by the Savings & Loan Assn.
• A skiing trip to New Hampshire on Air Force One is

from page 3

for a critical vision, one that
places a border between intimate
lives and public discourse.
John Berger, BBC art historian and critic, has republished
since 1973 ten editions of Ways
of Seeing. His book helped me
see how women for centuries
have been objectified through
painting and how that objectification reflected cultural perception and manipulation, leaving
the women powerless and passive. Students in my film and
writing classes have completed
projects on twentieth century

advertising which use Berger as
a basis for examining composition and ideology. Their studies
and mine show·that in 1991 we
are nowhere close to changing
the thesis of his work:
"To be born a woman
has been to be born, within an
allotted and confined space, into
the keeping of men. The social
presence of women has developed as a result of their ingenuity in living under tutelage within
such a limited space. But this has
been at the cost of a woman's
self being split into two. A

woman must continually watch
·herself ... Thus she turns herself
(and is turned by artists and their
patrons) into an object - most
particularly an object of vision:
a sight."
Paul Missal's vision seems
limited to the use of such objects, a row of teapots and pitchers, rocks and fruit, knives, an
anatomically correct horse. Even
a martyred saint is useful. And
certain Iy useful is a nude woman
braiding her hair-objectified,
safe, eminently hangable on
walls and front pages.

Bookstore quilt raffle to fund ·assistance program
The LCC Bookstore is looking for a few families that are
"falling through the cracks" of
the various holiday assistance
campaigns.
For the fourth consecutive
year, the bookstore is sponsoring a holiday assistance program
to help one or more student
families in need to have a special
Christmas celebration.
"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.
To finance the assistance
program, Bookstore staff are
raffling off four hand-made
quilts. Raffle tickets are $1 each
and a separate drawing for each
quilt will take place on Dec. 12
at 2 p.m. The Bookstore staff
will also hold a bake sale on
Dec. 9 in the second floor Center
Building lobby to supplement
the assistance campaign.

Dutton encourages people
who know of needy student
families to submit nominations
at the Bookstore as soon as possible.

It's the time when trees are decorated, parking spaces are scarce,
stockings are hung, and you stress-out wondering what to buy Grandma
for Christmas.
One escape from the maddening crowds and plastic mistletoe is
Eugene's Holiday Market where you '11 find over 200 local crafters and
artisans, along with plenty of entertainment and good food.
According to Assistant Manager Stephen Densford the Holiday
Market has "everything a hand can make."
Held indoors at the Lane County Fairgrounds each weekend
through Christmas, the Holiday Market is ahavenfor shoppers looking
for the unique and one-of-a-kind gift.
Densford says the experience is different from shopping in a mall
because you get to meet the person who created the product.
'These (items) are treasures from the heart, which is appropriate
for the season."
Along with clothing,jewelry, ceramics and toys, there are also gifts
for the animal in your life, such as herbal flea collars and fuzzy antlers
for that special dog or cat.
Performers with names like "Lentil Bean," "Bullfrog Highway,"
"Liv 'rs & Little Onions," and "Good Clean Fun," shake rattle an· roll
while you shop til you drop.
Holiday choirs. children·s storytelling and folksinging are also part
of the entertainment.
The Food Court is filled with edibles like pizza, Thai noodles,
burritos, chicken sticks and cheese cake.
So if you are still looking for that special gift for Grandma, or
someone else on your list, give the Holiday Market a try. At least you ·u
be entertained.
Holiday Market continues every Saturday and Sunday through
Christmas plus Monday Dec 23. The market is open from 10 a.m.-6
p.m., and admission is free. For more information call 686-8885.

Re0d 6SP.1RG'S 'Dangerous Dozen' before shopping
by LYNN REA
Torch Staff Writer
The Oregon Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG)
has its own gift list, one that may be a matter of life or death
for children.
Released Nov. 26, this annual "Dangerous Dozen" list
of alleged hazardous toys is work compiled by LCC, U of
0, Portland State and Lewis and Clark OSPIRG students.
Toys with harmless sounding names such as "Busy
Bumpkins," "Sesame Street Nursery Set," and "Musical
Loco," are on the list of a dozen toys which the group
claims are choking hazards.
The OSPIRG list focuses on the dangers of small
detachable parts which are included with the toys and are
hazardous to children under three years of age and are
consistently reponsible for the highest number of toyrelated deaths.
OSPIRG says "Busy Bumpkins," a small plastic doll
and stroller set, made by Uneeda Doll Company, has been
recalled. But many others such as the "Sesame Street" set
by Tara Toy Company in New York, are still available.

"We will continue to find these same hazards year after
year," says OSPIRG spokesperson Lee Avery. "Until we
can get adequate funding, and get the message to Congress
that this is a priority with parents, we will continue to find
hazards on the toy shelves.,,
According to the United States Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) data, choking on toy parts,
balloons, and marbles continues to be the leading cause of
toy-related deaths.

lltlllâ– tl111111

children suffered toy-related deaths, 19 of whom died due
to choking on small objects.
"Just like the ghost of Christmas past, dangerous toys
have come for another visit this holiday season," says Jon
Stubenvoll OSPIRG's consumer advocate.
OSPIRG strongly urges parents and other toy buyers to
carefully examine their purchases, keeping an eye open
especially for small parts on toys intended for young
children.
Stubenvoll says that parents and other toy buyers
should put safety at the top of their shopping lists.

Avery says age labels on some toy packages may
indicate that they are safe for a child under three. She
claims toys with small parts are potentially lethal, because
young children tend to put objects into their mouths.

Other toys on the dangerous dozen list include: Animals Fire Engine, Cheng Ching Toys; pull-string animal
bathtub toys, Masudaya; airplane and truck bin toys,
Prohoton Industries; Penguin Push Toys, manufacturer
unknown; Dish Set Role Play Toy, CE Bambola; Rabbit
Plush Toy, Little Folk; Cow Plush Toy, Charm Company;
Cat's Pajamas Plush Toy, North American Bear Co. Inc.;
Barnyard Sounds Playset, Funrise Inc.

According to CPSC statistics, estimated toy-related
injuries in the United States have increased in recent years.
From January 1990 to September 1991, a reported 37

Parents and other toy buyers with concerns about
specific toys are encouraged to call the Consumer Prcxluct
Safety Commission in Portland at 221-3056.

Senator: smoking ban
·rammed down throats·
by JOE HARWOOD

Torch Editor

Newly appointed ASLCC Senator Jo Anne Wilson says students
who choose to smoke should come together to find an alterative
scenario to the proposed indoor smoking ban.
Wilson is circulating a petition to stop what she says is a likely
policy change by the LCC Board of Education at its Dec. 11 meeting
to ban smoking from campus buildings.
At its Nov. 13 meeting on the subject of an indoor smoking ban,
the board reached an informal consensus to eradicate all indoor
smoking areas. Nearly all individuals taking part in the forum
responded positively to an indoor ban, including most board
members. But the board decided to put off a vote until the Dec. 11
meeting.
Wilson says the anti-smoking coalition "tried to slide this (smoking
ban) by very quietly" so as not to cause an uproar from studentsmokers. She claims the policy change has been "rammed down
people's throats."
She says the wishes of students, who make up the largest LCC
population, are not being taken seriously. She cites a 66 percent
approval from students taking part in an ASLCC survey to create a
designated smoking area.
"I don't think we should have five or six (indoor) smoking areas
shoved all over the place, I think we should have one ... it's better
than nothing," says Wilson.
Although she advocates a separately enclosed and ventilated
smoking area in the cafeteria, Wilson says the college should not
fund any construction. Instead, smokers should get together and
hold private fundraisers and solicit donations from tobacco companies.
Wilson says she has contacted representatives of the RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris tobacco companies in an effort to solicit
private funding to build a separately enclosed and ventilated area in
the cafeteria for smokers. She says both companies "have expressed
an interest" in contributing to the construction costs.

"They (part-timers) really
give a lot," says Science Department Head Tom W aync.
Nevertheless, Wayne says he
wishes he could employ more
full-timers, because they would
then have more time to spend
with students.
"If we were able to offer them
fulJ-time, they would be able to
do more." Students don't suffer,
though, he says.
"If anyone takes a loss, it's
part-time instructors."
