Board of Ed puts
off smoke ban
by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor
In a move that surprised college administrators and angered
the non-smoking community, the
LCC Board of Education voted
unanimously at its Dec. 11
meeting to delay a change in the
institution's smoking policy for
at least 60 days.
Many officials as well as LCC
staff and students expected a vote
that would ban all indoor smoking on campus.
Instead, both faculty and classified union representatives
informed board members that a
ban on indoor smoking constitutes what call a "change in the
workplace" -- an issue that must
be negotiated contractually with
both unions before becoming
policy.
LCC President Jerry Moskus
had asked Lon Mills, the college's negotiator, to settle the
issue prior to the Dec 11 meeting
with both the LCCEA (faculty
union) and the LCCEF (classified union). At the time of the

LCC's woodshop instructors
say they have seen dramatic increases in the percentage of
women enrolled in wood working classes, from 10 percent of all
students in 1982 to 65% in 1991.
Ample room, machines and
instruction await beginning or advanced students -- men and
women -- interested in working

with wood. According to Jim
Dieringer, LCC evening
woodshop instructor, "An interest and desire to learn is all it takes
to become involved. Students will
be encouraged to create, design
and construct their own projects.
No project is too big or too small.
"All you need are your own
building materials, (wood) and a

staples. You don't even need to
pick up a hammer. You can use
100 pounds of air pressure to drive
the staples."
LCC W oodshop Instructor
Donna Rose says, "Increasingly
more women are taldng active
roles in and around the home."
Rose, who began teaching in
1982, started a class in wood
working for beginners.
"Students were surprised to
find a woman instructor," says
Rose, "Word-of-mouth got
around, and the number of women
in my classes kept growing."
"Some of the women prefer a
woman instructor. They find it to
be Jess intimidating and more relaxed. They find it to be a refreshing change," says Rose.
Nancy Burbank, one of Rose's
students, says she began working
in wood over 18 years ago. Recalling her first class, she says
there was no women's restroom in
the wood shop, as there is
now .
"That was one way to keep us
out," says Burbank.
"When I signed up I was the
only woman in the class. Now it's
about half women. For me, the
most rewarding part of working
with wood is the building process.
I can make furniture that I cannot
possibly afford to buy," says
Burbank.
"I'm addicted to wood working," says Kathleen Kenagy, anotherofRose's students. "I love it.
I make mistakes, but nothing that
can't be corrected. I made a kitchen
table, and atable top with six tiles
in it. Next, I'm going to make a
stereo cabinet- I'm in for the long
haul," says Kenagy.

Past and present members of
the LCC Forensics Program, as
well as students who were involved on a high school forensics
team qualify to apply for an LCC

Barbara Breaden, director of
LCC Forensics, says the scholarships are offered to help students

AuCoin tq speak at Lane
by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Managing Editor

U.S. Senatorial hopeful Les AuCoin will be on campus Jan. 10
to speak about his experiences as a U.S. congressman and his goals
as a democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate.
Political Science Instructor Steve Candee routinely invites to his
classes individuals involed in Oregon's political system in an effort
to give students a first hand look at the value of state government.
"Most likely, Les will give a presentation on what is motivating
him to run," says Candee. 'Then, hopefully, students will get an
opportunity to respond with questions."
Candee says students may be wondering why AuCoin is giving
up a stable first district seat to run against incumbent Senator Bob
Packwood.
Candee urges anyone who is interested in learning more about
AuCoin or has any questions regarding his candidacy to attend his
c;lass at 2 p.m. in Center 216.

meeting, Moskus says he believed the issue had been resolved.
But LCCEF President Jerry
Sirois reported to the board that
Mills had not contacted the classified union in regard to negotiating a smoke-free indoor environment.
However, Don Micken, president of the faculty union, said
Mills had briefly discussed the
issue with him, but not in any
depth. "He poked his head in the
door and said something about it
(the smoking ban), but that was
it."
Prior to the vote, ASLCC
President Ernie Woodland submitted a petition of 522 students
and staff advocating a designated
loor smoking area on campus.
ASLCC Senator Joanne
Wilson, who spearheaded the
petition drive, warned the board
that a smoking ban may tum
potential students away from the
college.
Wilson did acknowledge that
"there is a ventilation problem"
with the current smoking policy.
"All I'm asking for, and the 522
people that stand behind me. is a
place to smoke indoors," she told
the board.

"Forensics is a real demanding

board "We (non-smokers) have
been shoved out of certain areas
by smoke. There is a strong need
for a (smoking) cessation program here on campus."
Board member Chuck Ivey
cautioned before the vote that
"We're taking this too fast. We
need to work out all the details
and deal with the contractual
issues first."
Roger Hall, another board
member, pointed out what he
saw as inconsistencies in a survey conducted by instructor
Jerome Garger, the basis by
which the board planned to make
a decision on the matter.
"I see no strong mandate
(from the survey) that we ban
smoking on this campus," he
said.
Hall further stated that the
Board should investigate the cost
of building an indoor ventilated
smoking area. Director of Campus Services Paul Colvin reported an estimated construction cost of $15,000.
After extensive discussion,
the board voted 7-0 to delay for
two-three months any change in
the current smoking policy until
specific details and contractual
issues are resolved.

For 25 LCC employees, opportunity and ambition was the
driving force in earning their
doctorarate degrees.

They could teach at the university level.at positions offering
more prestige, and maybe more
money. Yet they teach at LCC.
For Susan Swan, the choice
was easy. A writing instructor with
a doctorate in English, Swan
taught four years as a graduate
student at the U of O. Then, she
says bluntly, "I needed a job, and
there was one available here."
She had planned to teach at a
university, so the doctorate degree was necessary.

Dwight Miller
Math Department

A 12 year veteran at LCC,
Swan says, "At first, I didn't think
I'd stay, but sometime along the
way, I made the choice not to
pursue another job. I enjoyed the
scholarship and research associated with the university, but I've
discovered I enjoy the teaching
side more.
"When I was in school, I also
had two small children. Finishing
the doctoral project meant a lot. I
got a real sense of achievement
from it," Swan says.

Wendell Pepperdine earned his
doctorate at the U of O in chemistry. A 24-year veteran at LCC, he
says his choice was also easy.
"I want my work to be judged
on merit," he says, "not whether
or not I publish my research. I
don't like the pressure of 'publish
or perish.' I don't think it's fair to
the student or to the instructor. I
thought I'd like to teach at the
university level, but when I did
the research on my doctoral, I
discovered I didn't like it."
Daniel Armstrong, a second
year writing instructor at LCC,
earned his doctorate in English at
Indiana
University
in
Bloomington. Armstrong spent 11
and one half years at OSU, but
gave up a tenured, senior
instructor's position to teach at
LCC.

"When I first came to Oregon
in the late 70's," he says, "I wanted
toteachatLane.I'dheardtheyhad
a strong writing department, but
the only position available then
was part-time. I have family responsibilities, so I accepted a post
atOSU. Whenafull-timeposition
became available here, I interviewed for it."
For Science Instructor Allan
Gubrud, coming to LCC was
coming home. Gubrud attended
University High School in Eugene, but went east to Cornell to
take a doctorate in science education. The availability of a fellowship helped Gubrud decide to
pursue the doctorate.
"My interest is in practical applications," he says. "I'm a 'handson' guy. LCC offers me the opportunity to try new things, ideas."
An example of this is the Energy Management Technician
program. Gubrud, principal designer of the program, set the
curriculum and wrote the guidelines. Gubrud hopes the program
will begin fall term, 1992.

some cases the reverse is true.
Some people with a doctorate
might get too consumed with a
specialized area of research, to
the detriment of teaching."
Gubrud echoes Armstrong's
statement. "The doctorate allows
me to do more things, take a
broader perspective on things. It
helps in planning classes out of
the mainstream, but make me a
better teacher -- not necessarily."

Pepperdine says the additional
lab hours required to earn a doctorate help him in class preparation. "The additional experience
gives me a feeling for what will
work in the lab," he says. "I think
having a doctorate has helped me,
personally, but I can't say that
would be true for all disciplines."

Dwight Miller is also able to
experiment with his classes.
Miller, a math instructor in his
13th year at LCC earned his
doctorate in Instructional Technology at the University of
Southern California. He spent his
first seven years at LCC developing the computer system for the
Math Resource Center, in addition
to teaching.
Of his doctorate, Miller says,
"I wanted to see if I could make
the instruction of math more efficient and responsive to the individual student through the use
of technology."
He points to the computer on
his desk. "See that. I showed the
student who was just in here how
to solve a statistics problem on it.
Withthecomputer,hecansolveit
in 30 seconds. Of course, he needs
to know how to work the problem, but the computer makes it so
much faster."
"Having a doctorate degree is
an asset," says Armstrong, "but
not really necessary. In fact, in

"Coming from the university
environment," says Swan, "I expected the students to be inferior,
but due to their backgrounds, their
ages, and life experiences, I've
found them to be more stimulating."
''The students at Lane are really
motivated," says Armstrong.
"Discussions and feedback are
more vital, more expansive here.
It makes for a good teaching environment. The emphasis at Lane is
on teaching. We get a lot of supportfrom each other, and there are
a lot of instructors' workshops."
Gubrud agrees. "LCC is dedicated
to the students. I like being a part
of that."
Twenty other instructors and
counselors at LCC have doctorates.

installation in the Fall Term of 1992.
The college Board of Education voted at its Dec. 11 meeting to
approve the expenditure, which officials say will be spread over
several years, at about $360,000 per year.
College administrative departments will use the system to improve
operating efficiency, but LCC students will also see advantages, says
Bob Marshall, vice-president of Student Services.
To students, the change will mean that the college will process
requests for information faster, and with fewer errors, says Jim
Keizur, director of Computer Services. Student records, transcripts,
financial aid information, andmostotheressential student information
will be more fully integrated in the new computer system, says
Keizur. And the college can enter additional records not currently in
the existing computer network.
LCC will have a greater information-handling capacity, says
Keizur. Information which employees currently search for manually
often delays processing of information requests. But the new system
will allow access to all requested information, and for immediate
processing.
And, Marshall adds, "A new system will allow us to free those
employees now busy processing backlogged information and make
overall administration more efficient. With the older (computer)
equipment, we've been on thin ice."

There are predicaments plaguing the LCC campus that are suggesting people are a problem. The
LCC November 22, 1991 publication of the Torch has an article
about the ban on smoking in
buildings.
"On one hand, I see a big coalition railroading the smokers; on
the other, I see neglect for the
rights ofnon-smokers-- they want
carcinogenic-free air," comments
Editor Joe Harwood in his
"Against the Grain."
Tiris is a heated issue about
health. The non-smoker's health

that this was no lunker. This was

dignity proceeded to press all of
the un-used airspace out of the
mostly empty plastic trash liner.
He the carefully cross-tied the

aired by telecourse, they could
simply tape it for later viewing.
This home taping could also help
as a reference for students who
did not understand the section the

also be used as a study guide or as
a refresher. Students would still
retain the option of studying with

government -- put the money to
work here, where it is needed. Fill
out your tax form and send it with
an explanatory letter; send a copy
to your local government saying
how you want that money spent.
We may not like local government either, but we do have more
control here, and we do need to
maintain many of the threatened

Relating to the obscene
amounts of money these thieves
insist they need to run for office - Bob Packwood, poor soul, says
$3 million just isn't enough to buy
his senate seat -- let's challenge
him and all contenders to use the
money raised to fund new businesses. fudustries making products from recycled materials are
essential to conserve resources and
create jobs. Technology is available, languishing for the lack of
funds, while recycling centers go
broke for lack of markets.
Then the voters can decide who
did the best job, rather than who
hired the ad agency with the glibbest tongue.
Let's do it!

Brooks' interview with Jim
Ellison, the Vice-President for
Instruction.
This is a funding issue, forcing
some instructors to take on other
jobs in order to survive. Or they
give up teaching for a full-time
job elsewhere. English Instructor
Lance Sparks is the Torch's example of instructors leaving LCC.
"I love it." Speaking of his
teaching job. "But I have to pay
bills."
My math instructor, Alice
Kaseberg, asked my class these
questions:
"How many of you eat in the
cafeteria? How many of you wash
your hands before eating?"
After a show of hands, she
goes on to explain how dirty the
campus is, with all these students
milling around and passing diseases to each other. Alice will not
eatinthecafeteria,andmanyother
instructors and students will not
either. A lot goes on about this
issue also. Some instuctors •give

grade points for showing up in
class. Some students need every
point they can get, and will show
up for class no matter how sick
they may be. This is a process of
passing dis-

of disbelief.
"We're required to replace the
liners every time we empty the
trash. It's the policy," came his
terse retort.
"I suppose you'd jump off of a
cliff too if they told you to." I
replied.
Sound familiar? How many
times and from how many different sources has the same idiotic
argument of-~ 'I am just doing my
job' been used as an excuse for
thoughtless and irresponsible aclions? How much money from
the LCC budget simply gets tossed
into the trash?

(our environment) from the additional burden of these non-biodegradable time bombs as well.

If I were to make an estimate
on the cost to LCC students, who
pay many of the bills on campus,
I would estimate the cost of not
reusingpartiallyfilled plastic trash
liners to be in the neighborhood of
$100/week. Extrapolated over the
entire school year, this could represent a cost of perhaps as much
as $5000. Regardless of the exact
figure, by reusing trash liners we
not only can realize immediate
fiscal benefits, but we can also
save our county financed landfills

To the Editor:

To the Editor,

As a member of the Board of
Education of Lane Community
College I am very interested in
your article on part-time instructors at the college.
As your graph shows, parttime instructors at LCC have
doubled since 1982.
The board will continue to
monitor the effects of increasing
the number of part-time instructors at LCC. I look forward to
hearing from all interested parties
as the college copes with this dilemma. If we increase the number of part-time instructors and
they are poorly paid, then educational quality may suffer. On the
other hand, if we reduce the
number of part-time then we will
be unable to respond to the demand

After playing the "Eugene Decisions" and "Conversations with
Oregon" games, several participants noted that the major cause
of financial difficulties in state
and local governments is that the
Feds take more than they give. I
heartily agree.
Like any addict, the Federal
Government requires ever-increasing amounts of money to
supportits habits: overkill defense
budgets, bailouts of S&L cronies,
intervention in foreign governments. And like any addict, it
ignores and brutalizes its family
and rationalizes its behavior.
EVERYONE should refuse to
pay whatever federal taxes haven't
already been grabbed. Send that
amount to your city or county

Question of the week: Do you think LCC should finance
an indoor area for smokers?

Carolyn Malcolm - Fine Arts
"Yes. I think you have to give equal opportunity to everyone. I agree that mixing the
smokers and the non-smokers isn't such a
good idea, but it is the schools responsibility
to take some of the money that they get
from their students to please them."

Jason Gauntlett - Undecided
" Yes, definitely, I think it's discrimination
that they don't have it, they have a right to
smoke and there are a large number of
smokers on campus and I don't believe that
it's right that they have to sit outside in the
cold just to have a cigarette."

The Torch

Last year in College Council, a
campus review board comprised
of various factions of the college
community including students,
the ASLCC President -- at the
time it was I -- ignited open discussion of smoking. The spark I
used, though, was provided by
requests from students who were
physically unable to be around
cigarette smoke and from students who were nauseated by the
smell of tobacco smoke.
It took College Council many
months to take serious action on
the issue by asking Jerome Garger

(an instructor and non-smoker) to
sponsor a forum on the topic. He
chose to focus on faculty and
staff, asking the current ASLCC
President, Ernie Woodland (a
smoker), to seek student input.
As is the procedure of College
Council, the president of the college asked for the representatives
to seek input from the groups they
represent. The Faculty Council
agreed to a smoking ban; the
Classified Council agreed to a
smoking ban; ASLCC did not
respond with a group decision;
and the fourth estate of political
empowerment, the Torch, did not
come forward to inform the students on the pros and cons of a
ban on smoking, even though all
this interaction occurred at open

and public meetings that newspapers traditionally attend. To
their credit, those two student
groups did get involved within
the first three weeks of school,
though, last fall term.
Third, while it would be easy
to blame ASLCC or the Torch for
not infonning the student population about this hot item of
campus concern, personal life and
student life make demands that
preempt doing everything which
needs to be done. As a former
leader of both institutions, I can
speak from first hand experience.
Therefore, since the college
financed a forum and survey on
the topic for faculty and staff, the
college should have gone one
step further by providing the
students with the process the rest
of the college enjoyed. The college should not have left the job
up to customers it serves, for as
hard as we try to attain it, we do
not yet have that kind of professional expertise.
Finally,thepastisgone! While
it can be mourned it cannot be
changed.
Let's look to the future and
join together to find an answer
with which we can all breathe
easy. To do so will take free and
open debate of the effects of
smoking on the non-smoker and
the smoker, as well. We must
respect each other's right to have
differing opinions, but we will
also must try to see each other's
viewpoint. If we can do that, then
a compromise which accommodates all our needs can only follow.
Get involved. Your opinion
counts!

Cooper ative Educati on
departm ent receives grant
by STELLA HUBBARD
for the Torch
The LCC Cooperative EducationDepartmenthas been awarded
a three-year Title 8 grant for
$500,000 from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant is
the largest of its kind given this
year in the United States.
The grant allows LCC to refine,
implement, or expand co-op programs, says CWE Coordinator
Dixie Maurer-Clemens. "This
grant won't establish new academic programs within other departments, but it will supplement
and start co-op in existing programs."
The department learned of the
grant in June and began receiving
money in September. Before receiving the grant, funding for coop education came from LCC's
general fund and state vocational
grants. Bob Way, department
chairman of Cooperative Education, says this new federal revenue will increase the co-op
budget by 20 percent each year.
Way says very few commu-

nity colleges receive monies, and
most recipients are four-year
colleges and universities. But Way
and Maurer-Clemens say that
LCC's program is exceptional. It
is one of the largest in the nation
and is used as a model for other
schools to follow.
Each year, approximately
2,000 LCC students in almost 80
career fields earn credit for work
experience related to their major
through CWE.
Way says the objectives of the
grant are to increase enrollment
by 500 students, implement coop as a required component in
LCC programs other than vocational, develop marketing to let
students know what is available,
increase the number ofemployers
participating in CWE, and let
employers know about LCC and
the work experiences for students.
Way adds, "I think we are going to be very successful in getting
the enrollment we want and in the
areas that we wrote the grant for.
We are having very good success
already."

will save money in the long run.
Keizursays, "We're reasonably advanced now. Some of the things
we've already done we've done quite well." But he says the newer unit
will provide a foundation for using advanced technology into the
foreseeable future.
One possibility, he says, is a fiber optic communications network
which would increase the new system's overall performance. Keizur
hopes the fiber optic network might also be installed in 1992.
Changing is not without its problems. There is "the sheer work of
converting to a new system," says Keizur, listing basic requirements:
working with new programs, new computer environments, new main~
frame computers, converting programs and their data, training users,
and integrating the system in new ways.

Torch Staff Writer
If exhibiting suicidal tendencies and flaunting
unhealthy habits are your forte, you are advised to
stop reading here.
On the other hand, if living a long and healthy
life suits you, then read on: Your life may depend
on it.
Director of Student Health Services Sandy Ing
said in a campus news conference, "Ways of
Keeping Well," Nov. 8 that a few common sense
modifications to one's lifestyle can make the
difference between living well or just living.
Ing, a registered nurse, led off the conference
with statistics from Oregon to make her first
point: "Before you can stay well, you need to stay
alive."
In 1990, she says, "For men 24-44 (years old),
AIDS was the third leading cause of death, surpassing heart disease and cancer combined."
"Most importantly," Ing said, is to "practice
safe sex." For men and women, she said, this
consists mainly of using condoms.
And, since accidents are amajor cause of death,
Ing also specified accident prevention as "one
thing you need to do in order to worry about
staying healthy."
Seat belts reduce deadly automobile injuries,

Ing stated.
She also pointed out that alcohol and driving,
and alcohol and sex, are probably the two most
risky activities to mix.
Okay, so now that you've avoided all unsafe
behaviors and have managed to stay alive, what's
next?
According to Ing, "nothing your mother hasn't
told you already."
.
But just in case you weren't listening to your
mom that day, here are some of Ing' s prescriptions
for staying healthy:
•Wash your hands. According to Ing, washing
your hands reduces your chance of picking up
infections, such as colds and "the grungies,"by 50
percent.
• Get your flu and measles shots. Flu, a lifethreatening illness to young children and the
elderly, can also lay up a student for two weeks,
Ing said. Likewise, she added, even the measle
virus isn't what it used to be. "It's significantly
more fatal. If you were born after 1957, you
probably had a measles vaccination ... and we 're
finding those (shots) aren't holding.
• Learn to manage your stress. You can do this
in a variety of ways, Ing said, including managing
your time more wisely, eating a balanced breakfast, getting enough rest, and exercising regularly.

college said, did not indicate the
Apprenticeship Building air was
contaminated.
Last summer, one employee
quit her job, alleging that the
college's responses to employee
complaints gaveherno alternative
but to resign.
Then, OSHA tests conducted
in July by thehealthdivisionfound
what the agency called measurable levels oflead in dust samples
taken from offices above the
welding lab.
In the fall, the college spent
over $50,000 in improvements to
the Apprenticeship Building
which included relocation of an
air intake duct and a complete
cleaning of all surfaces in the
building.
In one of its November citations, OSHA said "surfaces were
not maintained as free as practicable of accumulations oflead" in
the welding area and the above
second floor offices.
ButLCC's Director of Campus
Services Paul Colvin says the
situation doesn't deserve a fine.
"According to a response we
got from the head of the Occupational Disease Section at the Oregon Health Sciences University,
the levels oflead that OSHA found
in the dust were no more than you
would find in a normal household."
OSHA's second violation alleged that six "employees with
exposure to airborne lead had not
been informed" of possible exposure.

LCC President, Jerry Moskus
says OSHA test results were always available to employees and
that the college provided free
blood tests upon the discovery of
lead.
Oneemployee,RandeeFranke,
a secretary for Co-op Education
who works above the lab, says she
believes inhaling the black sootlike dust for the last five years has
caused her and other employees
headaches, burning eyes, nausea
and a general feeling of disorientation.
Franke says she feels uneasy
with the results of her tests.
"Although the lead levels in
my blood were below dangerous
levels, a blood test can only give
you short-term results. You can't
see what is already in the tissues,
so you can't tell what the long
term damage may be. Some
people have been complaining of
ill feelings since 1983."
The division's third citation
against the college alleges that "a
safety committee had not been
established and administered" as
ofJune 4, 1991.
But LCC President Jerry
Moskus says recruiting for such a
committee began last year, and a
charter had been written by December.
Scott Lindsay, a psychology
instructor who holds classes five
hours a day, three times a week in
a room over the welding lab, says
he isn't sure if the college's recent
efforts to correct the problem were
a result of efforts by LCC Presi-

dent Jerry Moskus of of the publicity from the OSHA fines.
"Until Jerry Moskus became
president of the college in 1990,"
Lindsay says, "every president
prior to that back to Eldon Schafer
-- as well as the deans and other
people I have taken to my classroom and showed them the problem -- have done nothing other
than take a cavalier attitude about
it!"
When asked about the delays
in the installation of the new ventilation system, PresidentMoskus
responds: "I have a theory that

like to see the welding lab moved
to the area now used by the Aviation Maintenance program in the
Air Technology Building. The
college has planned to move that
program to city-provided property at the Eugene Airport later in
the school year.
By moving the welding lab to
the Aviation Maintenance area,
Moskus says the bottom of the
Apprenticeship Building could be
used by other space-seeking campus groups such as Student Services, a child care facility, or the
radio station, KLCC.

helpful to those less fortunate and unable to
pay for the credits. They could still get an
education without receiving credits or degrees, yet they would still be educated enough
to be a productive part of the technical
workforce needed for today and tomorrow's
society.
Still, there would be a few classes that
required a classroom for hands on experience.
The science labs would need to remain open,
as would the Auto Mechanic coures (whose
membersdon'tmindbeingdirty anyway). The
begining computer courses would need to
remain available for students, enabling them
to become star telecourse students.
The library would be needed for extra-

curricular studies, and the bookstore would be
available for supplies, though books and other
required materials could be ordered through
the classline and then received by mail.
This proposal eliminates the need for many
of the buildings on campus to be maintained
(saving funds). The unused buildings could
be used as temporary housing for the homeless (like laid off LCC instructors).
This proposal also eliminates the funds
needed for extra instructors and the benefits
they would receive. Best of all, this proposal
also eliminates the chance of diseases being
contracted on campus from smokers, nosepickers, unwashed-hands-that-have-recentlybeen-to-the-restroom, and students who insist
on being in class while ill.

Exhibition.
In a quest to know the unconscious, Paul says he acknowledges a
debt to Surrealism, which is one of his earliest artistic influences.
"Freudian thought had a lot to do with the credo of Surrealism as a
movement," says Paul. "But a good deal more has been learne.d about
the subconscious mind since Freud's time."
Paul says he finds substance in the scholar of myth, Joseph
Campbell, who proposed that today's artists seem to act as the shamans
for contemporary culture in that they take regular trips to unseen places
in their work and bring back truths which often fly in the face of
everyday sense.
"I like to work as if dreaming," says Paul. "I don't sketch or plan
ahead. Instead I start with a sea of confusion then simplify. It's the
closest I can get to a dreamscape while still awake."
Paul doesn't develop preliminary studies for the images he paints.
Rather, he conjures images as he moves around materials and elements. Most of his work is with oil paint, but he also uses screen
printing and other mediums.
"If! begin to feel backed into the comer, I change the medium," says
Paul. "Different media provide different kinds of access to the psychic
material I want, I expect my work to be mysterious."
As visitors come to see the exhibit Paul hopes they scan for signs of
the artist's projections- anxieties, hang-ups, and neuroses-and in
the process find themselves.
"It's the psychic connection between the artist and viewer that really
interests me," says Paul.

Stone Sexplanation of assasination misses mark in JFK

by JOSHUA
HENDRICKSON
On Nov. 22, 1963, Dallas, TX
became the unlikely location of
America's Golgotha, where a
crucifixion by gunfire made a
martyr of our 35th president.
As so often before, martyrdom
was quickly followed by the rise
of a religion. When any religion
rears its head, faith blurs if not
erases facts, and belief becomes

dogma.
Director Oliver Stone's threehour magnum opus, JFK, is a
religious work, evidenced not only
by the sensational cinematic style
and the stirring music by John
Williams, but by the light in which
former President Kennedy is seen,
a light filtered through rose-colored stained glass. To Stone,
Kennedy is an icon.
According to New Orleans
D.A. Jim Garrison (Kevin
Costner), Kennedy planned to pull
out of Vietnam, end the cold war,
slow to a halt the arms race, and
secure peaceful relations with the
Soviet Union. The film does its
best to raise the theory on apedestal, to put it beyond question.
That is the goal of all religions
- to erect a statute in honor of its
deity. Unfortunately, to do so,
religion must ignore facts which
do not fit the image.
Critics contend that Stone and
Garrison, upon whose book On
the Trail of Ass as ins, the
screenplay, is based have distorted
facts or fabricated evidence.
Whether this is true or not can
hardly be proven now.

Ultimately, though, the film
convinces us (at least it convinces
me) that most, if not all, of its
conspiracy theories are grounded
in reality.
The "Magic Bullet" theory of
the Warren Commission is
skinned alive in court scenes, exposing its inherent illogic. That
theory contends that one bullet,
travelling thorough flesh and air
at angles and speeds possible only
in cartoons, caused several
wounds in Kennedy and Texas
Governor John Connally.
But that is not the only point of
the film. Stone, quite logically,
feels he must explain not only
how the assassination was orchestrated, but also explain why,
and here his arguments fall to
pieces.
JFK was a good, perhaps even
a great man, but he was no saint.
Under his reign from the Ova1
Office, the arms race expanded to
proportions unknown until
Reagan. The number of Polaris
Submarines in our fleet was
doubled, Minuteman purchases
were increased 75 percent, and
the total number of weapons in

the Strategic Alert Force were
increased 100 percent. As for
Vietnam, Kennedy increased the
numberofadvisorsto 16,CXX),and
began a campaign of covert terror, napalm use, and defoliation.
Oliver Stone has crafted a film
that more than adequately communicates that he believes otherwise. His collaborators perform
splendidly. Kevin Costner is excellent in the role of Garrison,
although his portrayal may not be

accurate.

JFK's three hours are thoroughly entertaining, achieving a
kind of visual pyrotechnics
through the use of fluid camera
movement and black and white
cinema verite. It will certainly
inspire discussion and debate
among its viewers, as it was clearly
intended to.
And yet, though fascinating,
the film's religious approach will
not be to everyone's taste.

Titan basketball teams win big over SWOCC

by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor

After one of the most successful preseasons in the college's history, boththeLCCTitan
men's and women's basketball
teams found victory in Coos Bay
Wednesday night over Southwestern Oregon Community
College (SWOCC.)
James Boutin, leading the
Titan men with 26 points and 10
rebounds coupled with teammate
Geoff Rasmussen's 21 points and
five assists brought an easy win
home from a traditionally tough
road opponent. The Titans won
by a 16 point margin, ending
with an 89-73 final score.
Jim Snyder, the only other
Titan player in double figures
contributed 18 points, two assists, and five boards. Another
sophomore, Ehren Plummer,
contributed two buckets, seven
assists, and three steals to make
for a well-rounded evening win.

LCC men's Coach Jim Boutin
considers both Plummer and
Snyder to be the team's emerging leaders.
Facing what Boutin classified as a better SWOCC basketball program than in past years,
the Titans stole the ball 13 times
and out-rebounded the Lakers
41 to 34.
"We played really good defense . . . and created a lot of
positive turnovers on our behalf,
turning the ball over and getting
opportunities for extra shots,"
says Boutin.
The win over SWOCC moves
the Titans to 12-1 overall and 10 in the Northwest Athletic
Association of Community
Colleges (NW AACC.)
Defense, Boutin's coaching
forte, is what the Titans do best,
he says. "We just dog people to
death on defense."
The LCC men, ranked fourth
in the NWAACC evaluation poll
with the second-best record in

the conference, will get an opportunity to test their pressure
defense Saturday night against
15-0 rival Chemeketa CC. The
Chiefs compiled a 33-0 record
last season and have won 48
straight games. Game time is 8
p.m. in the LCC Gym.

Lady
Titans
Maryanne Graham, the hothanded shooter with the
NWAACC's second-best scoring average, led the LCC
women's basketball team with
36 points, four steals, and nine
rebounds to a 77-70 win over
SWOCC on Wednesday night.
Lane teammate Nicole Bignotti added 21 points and six
steals while former South Eugene standout Margaret
Boyenga contributed 13 points
and six boards for the Titans.

Coach Dave Loos says his
team was up for the game after
posting a 10-3 preseason record.
Graham, Bignotti, and Boyenga
all posted season-high scoring
figures.
"We knew it would be tough,
it's always tough against them
(SWOCC) at home," says Loos.
Despite losing the team's
second leading scorer, sophomore point guard Katie Carter to
a hamstring injury on Jan. 2,
Loos says the rest of the team
picked up the slack without
hesitation.
The team's defensive chief,
freshman Ann Maier, pulled

"Her injury made some of the
kids step forward and fill the
vacancy and score some extra
points," he says.
Pleased with the team's performance during the pre-season,
including a stingy defense that
only allows an average 58 points
a game, Loos plans to be part of
the play-off picture at the close
of the regular season.
The women Titans square off
against Chemeketa CC Saturday night at 6 p.m. in the LCC
Gym for the league home opener.

After winning their league openers on
Wednesday night against Southwestern Oregon Community College, both the men's and
women's LCC basketball teams hope to ride the
tide of victory into the Titan gym for the league
home opener against Chemeketa on Saturday,
Jan.11.
For those who aren't normally LCC basketball fans, change your plans -- because Saturday night's games will be highly competitive,
full of surprises, and for a good cause.
According to college Athletic Director
Harlan Yriarte, the Athletic Department will
donate all admission proceeds to the LCC
Campus Ministry. Yriarte, who has been personally delivering scrolled game invitations for
the past week, promises more than just run-of-

PagelO

the-mill, full-court play.
In planning the event, Yriarte says he used
imagination, personal experience, and he identified with the Campus Ministry financial dilemma.
"We have a good cause ... Campus Ministry
is a great cause. They were having some problems and we identify with that because athletics
has had some problems," says Yriarte. Campus
Ministry has said it will close its operation this
year if it can't raise $6,000 to cover its costs.
Many campus groups including student government have donated funds in an effort to
maintain the serv!ces provided by the ministry.
Game time for the women's team is 6 p.m.
and the men start at 8 p.m. in the LCC Gym.
Admissions are $3 for LCC staff and adults, $2
for students and seniors, and $1 for LCC students with student body card. Children under
six and silhouettes get in free.
