January 24, 1992 Eugene, Oregon Vol. 27 No. 14 Recovering addicts struggle for fresh start, success by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH Torch Lead Writer "I've gone from the shit list to the President's List in nine months, and with one drink I could be right back where I started," laughs Don in a rich, clear voice. Don is a 51 year-old recovering alcoholic enrolled in the LCC Radio Broadcasting program. According to a 1989 study on addictions, over 48 million Americans are going through recovery for drug and alcohol abuse. For many alcoholics and drug addicts, returning to school is chance to start over. But success doesn't always come easy. "The first thing you need to do is to simply remember yourself," says Tom, a 42 year-old psychology student with bright blue eyes and a contagious smile who is a recovering alcoholic and cocaine addict. "Remember you are a good person. You are not who others say you are. School is a kind of hope; a chance to find out who you really are. "Any time a person of any addiction does something positive they want to be recognized for it. I have found a common thread through all addictions. Alcohol, drugs, food, sex, credit cards, whatever -all addictions have one thing in common: If you ask the person 'How do you feel about yourself?' they will answer: 'I don't like myself.' "Alcoholics and addicts don't care if they live or die," Tom continues, "They don't feel like they're an asset to society. But going back to school gives you some self-worth." Harvey Bond, coordinator of the Alcohol and Drug Programs at LCC says a community college is a safe place to start for many addicts who have to learn accountability. "Community colleges across the country are the first step for many in recovery. It gives you a chance to put your toe in the water, then your foot, and finally your whole leg. You can get a sense of competency you probably didn't have before." Bond suggests students in recovery also seek out each other in times of stress. Steve, a young-at-heart 47 year-old in the Respiratory Therapy program, says he went through two in-patient and two out-patient recovery programs before he conquered his addiction to alcohol and speed with a 12-step program. On Jan. 22 he celebrated his second birthday being "clean." "When I started school I was going to three meetings a week," Steve explains, "I decided school was the most important thing in ■■my life so I stopped going to meetings and I got a little nuts. I realized school is not the most important thing in my life; sobriety is, and without sobriety I can't even be in school so I went back to the meetings." Most 12-step programs are based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. In A.A. One day at a time ... Assoc. Degree SUBSTANCE ABUSE Graphic by Tad Maupin LTD Update ■people inrecovery learn to admit their addictions and accept a sense of powerlessness over them. They learn, through sharing stories at meetings, to take responsibility for their actions, while at the same time receiving support from others in similar situations. Franki, an outspoken 26 year old majoring in Community Service, says she quit using heroin and crank three years ago. "I started back in school because I want a future for my kids. At meetings some people say, 'Boo-Hoo me'. Well,Isay 'Fuck the 'Boo-hoo me' and get on with your life. Why sit around and worry about what you did three years ago. If you want to succeed you will. "Relapse is a crutch", Franki says. "Every addicthas itin their brain that it would be nice to get loaded, but if you 're seriously recovering you know damn well you 're not going to do it. I think relapse is a fucking joke. People relapse because they goddamn well want to. No one sticks that needle in their arm and nobody pops that pill down their throat. We are all in control of our own lives." Bond suggests those in recovery learn to manage time and set boundaries for themselves. "Addicted people, even those Tum to Recovering, page 4 ■Students negotiate with LTD for student bus pass by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor A group of highly motivated LCC students has plunged headfirst into complex negotiations with Lane Transit District (LTD) in a renewed effort to bring about a group bus pass agreement similar to that enjoyed by U of O students. At issue is the relative high cost per student which LTD insists upon for a special LCC pass. LTD's last offer was $10.92 per student per term. University students pay $5.09 per term. Unlike LCC, the U of O pays a special payroll tax which subsidizes the pass program. Because it is LTD's policy to remain revenue neutral, the high per student rate has been quoted to make sure the company "breaks even." The price is based upon a 100 percent participation rate, which means a student fee would be levied on every main cam- pus student, whether or not the person rides the bus. Among other factors, LTD says it expects ridership to at least double as a result of a LCC group pass program. Because of Lane's rural location, LTD says additional buses would have to be shifted to main campus routes to compensate for increased ridership. The capital expansion to add more buses would be funded through group pass revenue. The biggest pitfall to be overcome, according to both LTD and LCC officials, is determining how many students would actually use the bus service and what type of service would be provided. Ed Bergeron, Marketing manager for LTD, told the Torch in November that "there is nothing more we can do as a staff, we are following policy set by the LTD Board." Bergeron encouraged student government leaders to appeal to the board to change its group rate policies theonlywaytolowerthecurrentpricetag. In response, a group of students led by Vincent Jones, Paul Borella, and Shane Rhodes attended an LTD Board meeting on Jan. 15. in an effort to convince the board that LCC should be an exception to the rule. There is "a glimmer of hope that we can bring out LCC' s uniqueness in this community, show that we are worthy of some flexibility in the group pass policies set by the LTD board," says Jones. Borella and Jones say the LTD staff working on the plan is helpful and will- ing, but board policy gets in the way of progress. "I think they are given restrictions and policies by the LTD board, so they are limited in what they can offer," says Borella. Bergeron says because of the unique nature of the group pass program, a considerable effort by LCC and LTD has been made to identify the people who would use the program. "Determining the dollar amount is the easy part," he says,"it's the administrative issues that need to be worked out." Jones says he is confident "that there will be a bus pass proposal for student elections in May." The LCC committee plans to meet with LTD every two weeks until an agreement is reached. And Bergeron adds, "the LTD Board has been put on notice that LCC is very interested in a group pass. We are going to do everything possible to make this work."

"Business was terrible.

Kurlychek describes the town ofBrixton as a ''neat scene," with a large West Indian populatim "I'm real big into world culture . .. reggae and world music, I'm into that, and! listen to that all the time."

He alluded to his white male status when he said that "as a group, tall, white males have done the most to frustrate Dr. King's dream." Philosopher Luke Barber reminded the LCC staff in a speech Monday, Jan. 21, that it's crucial they demonstrate diversity in their everyday lives. "We cannot teach to others what we don't follow ourselves," he declared. The suspension of normal college operations on Martin Luther King Day allowed Lane's faculty and classified workers the opportunity to attend professional development activities, such as Barber's kick-off speech called, "Building a Diverse Community." Quoting Plato, Barber said because '"all learning is remembering,"' he was there to remind his largely white audience "about what we already know." "Dreams are free. They don't cost," he noted. But, he added, "visions always cost. Visions keep you awake. You must give and give and give in order to make a vision reality." ~/ It's time for white males, he said, to form a vision whereby "we relinquish power over others." Barber peppered his early morning talk with anecdotes to highlight the four ingredients he claimed are necessary for the creation of a diverse community: • Remember tcrlaugh and play. Celebrating eccentricity and taking risks help us to better accept change and diversity. • Remember the democratic character of the community and break down the barriers that separate us, such as those generated from selfimportance. • Remember the art of communication. Recognize that hearing is not the same as listening. "If you ask for an honest response, be prepared for one." • Remember to give. "Goodwill has a ripple effect, and life takes on added meaning when we give."

The group's Safe Drinking Water Campaign is the answer for the problems created by lax regulation of chemical discharge industrial companies produce, says OSPIRG. Since Oregonians depend on 75 percent ground water for their water supply purposes, OSPIRG wants to: • Provide information to the public about the contamination of Oregon's water. • Speed up the process for the clean up of known contaminated areas. • Prevent future contamination. LCC's OSPIRG starts the Safe Drinking Water campaign on Tuesday, Jan. 28, the day after the state wide kick-off. The ultimate purpose is to persuade legislative representatives to support OSPIRG's goals. Tied along with the drinking water publicity effort is the Environmental Education campaign. LCC-OSPIRG is taking the environmental issues to the public schools in the community, educating students about recycling, conservation, and energy efficiency. But OSPIRG needs volunteers. "Our biggest drive is to get people involved," says Chris Rampy, head coordinator for the environmental campaign. The students here at LCC have to get involved so the goals of the campaign group(s) will be possible."

A ALLED BYT Avenues of wheelchair access at LCC prove insufficient Analysis by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor Photo by Kim McCauley This sign warns students in wheelchairs away from a dangerous slope by the Performing Arts Building. Wheelchair accessibility is limited at LCC. The first week of Winter Tenn, Media Arts and Technology Instructor Pete Peterson had to change the location of his 11 :30 a.m. Production and Design class. Located on the second floor of the Machine Technology Building, says Peterson, the class was not accessible to one of his students who happens to use a wheelchair. Disabled Student Service Coordinator Delores May says that on the whole, LCC is accessible to the 500 students who admit to having disabilities, with the exception of Machine Tech and the Clothing Exchange in the P.E. Building. The other buildings on campus are accessible by means of wheelchair ramps. But some students without motorized wheelchairs have trouble with the ramps. which are not built to modem code. Built in the mid-1960s, the ramps met the code of that era, and do not have to be changed unless the college modifies an existing building or constructs a new building. May works to provide mobility aid to these students (pushing wheelchairs, etc.), but a lack of staff prevents her from assisting each student fully. One of the problems she finds on campus is the lack of elevators. Similarly, student Paul McGuire, who uses a wheelchair, has trouble with the lack of elevators and the fact that the elevators are not large enough to comfortably accommodate his chair. Two chairs is out of the question, he says. Several of the ramps on campus are steep. or extremely inconvenient for accessing classes or programs. The ramp leading up to the second floor of the Forum building, where KLCC is housed, is extremely steep. May says she doesn't believe it meets any building code, but the college could not provide any figures which indicate the degree of slope. At the top of the ramp, a cement ashtray blocks the path of wheelchairs. The first floor of the Forum building is even more of a puzzle. According to student Jeff Cooper, who says he used to take classes in Mass Media, he had to go to the loading dock, down a long driveway to a large metal door and bang on the door until somebody heard him and let him in. The classrooms in Performing Arts are all located on the first floor. as is the rest room. To get from the upstairs to the downstairs, a student must go outside, go down past Campus Services to the Theatre parking lot, and come back up to the rear of the building. Access between the first and second floors of the Math and Arts Building must be through the Center Building. A student in a wheelchair on the second floor wishing to go the first floor must wheel back to the Center Building, go downstairs, and come back. Some improvements are in the works, says May. Money has been set aside for additional bathroom accessibility and to install disabled access water fountains in all the buildings. Coupon books provide cafeteria Ill AsLcc cAMPus CALENDAR Ill ~---~~~~~~~--food savings for LCC students by KELLEY EGRE Torch Managing Editor Students who eat in the Lane cafeteria can now buy discount coupons in the LCC bookstore to save money. The tickets sell for $13 for a food value of $15. Food Services Manager Bob Tegge says the tickets have been available through him for 15 years. but there has been almost no interest. ''1bis year, a student on fmancial aid asked if he could charge a ticket on his financial aid because he couldn't afford to buy food until he got his financial aid check," says Tegge. Students on financial aid must wait three weeks into each tenn before they receive their checks. Tegge didn't have the source to charge the coupons on student's accounts says Bookstore Manager Shelley Dutton. "So now, since we have the capability to charge things like books on students' financial aid, (the bookstore) buys them from Food Services and sell them up here." Dutton says the bookstore has had an overwhelming response Campus !Ministry from financial aid students. "Over the first few weeks they were available, we sold 83 and they were all fmancial aid students, except for two," says Dutton. 'Toe food coupons are a great idea," says Jeanette Nadeau. financial aid recipient. "A lot of us on financial aid don't have money tospendduringthefirsttwo weeks. These coupons just might keep a lot of us from starving." Once students received their financial aid checks though, the ticket sales decreased heavily, admits Dutton.

The yearly presidential evaluation is a contractual requirement that, according to Riggs, presents Moskus with practical "feedback." "Jerry has had to make some hard decisions," says Riggs, "but, Photo by Erin Naillon LCC President Jerry Moskos meets the Board of Education's high expectations. people like him anyway ... (He's) brought a healing to the campus that had to happen." "And," she adds, "it's working." Besides being academically qualified for the president's office, says board member Chuck Ivey, "Jerry's laid back management style" was a major factor in the board's unanimous decision to hire him two years ago. "IgaveMoskus ahigh approval rating. And, I'm a tough grader," says Ivy aboutLCC'schief executive. "I'd like to pat the board on the back; we picked a good one." Riggs adds, "Jerry has set into motion something very functional at Lane with his five-year plan, which will work whether he's there or not. He's very altruistic." "Can you tell I like our president?" she asks. Thefive-yearplanRiggsrefers to essentially began with the passage ofBallot Measure 5, explains Moskus. "It's a strategy to allocate resources in the best possible way." The just released report, "LCC InTheNextFive Years: AVision," is an "effort to create a sense of direction" in these economically trying times, states Moskus. Among the decisions Moskus has had to make are those concerning the revenue problems that arise from the new tax base and Measure Five, he says, and a way to make decisions. "Every area of the college can expand, but we can't afford it. There are equipment needs ... but it's hard from my perspective to know what is needed in every area," says Moskus. That's why it's important to get everyone's input, he says. "Increased involvement will mean better decisions." Equally important, he claims, is "to take the focus off a central college administration -- and start including students" in the decision-making process. Moskus mentions former Student Body President Michael Omogrosso as just one student he has found to be very helpful during his tenure here at Lane. "I've been aware of Jerry since he got into the selection finals for president," says Omogrosso, returning the compliment. Invited to attend a board meeting dinner-time interview with candidate Moskus, Omogrosso -- at that point wearing his Torch Editor hat - says he was initially was bowled over by Moskus, the first of the presidential hopefuls the Search Committee interviewed. "The next morning I woke up and my cynical side came out. And I thought to myself, 'this guy can't be for real,"' Omogrosso notes. Upon further reflection, Omogrosso says, although he may not agree with everything Moskus has done since becoming president, "I do think he's kept the spirit of shared governance and shared decision-making. "Should he continue to do that, he will rank right up there with othernotable past presidents, such as Eldon Schafer and Dale Parnell," maintains Omogrosso. As for Moskus, who marvels at "things about Lane that blow me away, such as the abundance of talent here," he says that, "it's pretty easy to do good things when you've good people to work with." And, with newly hired Affirmative Action Director Donna Albro on board, he remains optimistic and committed to improving the dismal record LCC has had in creating equal opportunities for women and minority groups, says Moskus. Affirmative Action is "everyone's issue," he says, "not just 'Donna's Problem.' We are changing the way we do things; to make sure everyone is involved and not just a small group of people." Students explore careers on Women's Day at Lane by KELLEY EGRE Torch Managing Editor Women interested in exploring career opportunities are invited to attend the third annual Women's Day on Jan. 25, at Lane , Community College. The workshop is free and lunch will be provided. Also, Child care is free. "Anyone can come," says Women's Program Coordinator Kate Barry. "Women who have been out of school for a long time and are thinking of coming back; women who just recently lost their jobs and are looking for more training or anew career move; women who are unsure as to what field they want to go into; even students who are already attending Lane who are looking for a little direction. They are all welcome and encouraged to attend." During the seven and one-half hour workshop, attendants may tour two of LCC's 25 instructional programs. It also entails a variety of general sessions and information on educational programs, financial aid, planning, job trends, and study skills. For those interested, registration is from 8:30-9:30 a.m. in the Center Building cafeteria. Berry says the tours offer women an opportunity to meet the instructors, staff, and successful women in each program they choose. "This is a place to start, to make your own connections," says Berry. "Then, once they become familiar with campus, they are able to make their own decisions about what to do next." She says last year the workshop drew over 400 women to campus. "We get an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement for the workshop each year," says Barry. "This workshop offers women so much and the fact that it is on a Saturday makes it even better," Barry says. "We offer women a day to get together, a sense of support." Spanish and American Sign Language interpretation are available upon request. "A lot of women just haven't found the direction they want to travel in," says Barry. "There is information available at this workshop that just might help them." Recovering in solid recovery, lose perspective so easily. The 'addict self' is very powerful. When times get tough, try to quiet your body. Take a walk. Many addicted people live in their minds so much that quieting the body first will help quiet the mind."

If we breathe slow and deep we get a chance to balance ourselves.

Twelve step-meetings on LCC campus: Harvey Bond teaches a class called "Understanding Addictive Behavior" and says 50 percent of the students take it out of interest and are not enrolled in LCC 's new Chemical Dependency Counselor Training associate degree program.

At the University of Oregon, the structure is called the Erb Memorial Union, the EMU. The idea is to have a mall-like atmosphere where students can easily contact the various offices associated with the college scene. Better yet, one location brings together a diverse community of individuals and groups who can then interact on a social as well as intellectual basis outside of the classroom. Because Lane is a commuter institution, with many students scheduling classes around work, and leaving immediately after class, the aura is like the cold-cement walls encasing the Center Building. And to make it worse, there is no real student center - student services are scattered all over the campus. So the rationale of housing the many service offices on campus under one roof is immediately appealing. But, as usual, budgetary constraints prohibit the million dollar-plus construction of a new building simply for the use of student groups and services. Admittedly, Lane has higher priorities - like the continued expansion of class section offerings to meet the increased junior college enrollment rates resulting from Measure Five education cuts from public four-year colleges and universities. And the much-maligned Welding Technology program situated on the first floor of the Apprenticeship Building is tentatively slated to partially occupy the former Aviation Tech Building. Instead of beating the cash coffers for donations for such a building, why not use existing space that is soon to be vacated? Here's a scenario: Plans are currently in the works to transfer the Aviation Technology program to the Eugene Airport, with a probable target date: Fall 1992. So why not revamp the bottom tloor of the Apprenticeship Building to house the variety of student service organizations which are currently scattered about the campus? The area could include, among other things, student government, OSPIRG, the Multi-Cultural Center, a Student Resource Center branch, the Women's Center, Campus Ministry, the Bookstore, Student Health, the Torch, and Denali. In addition, a few large student lounges and a small snack bar would give students "somewhere to go" besides the cafeteria, library, or home. Pushing the possibilities even further, what about adding some type of indoor smoking area? LCC just spent over $50,000 in air quality improvements for the Apprenticeship Building. How hard could a few modifications to the exhaust ports inside be in that building? The subsequent vacancies resulting from the move could provide additional classroom and office space items in high demand around this campus. The cost would be minimal compared to a new building, and the benefits are immeasurable. Sound like a pipe dream? Maybe it is. But who can say how the administration, the ASLCC, or the LCC Board of Education would react to a comprehensive, well-thought plan to provide such an area for students. Only student input will make the dream a reality, so speak up. Supreme Court should leave Roe vs. Wade alone Once again, Americans are being held hostage by the Supreme Court of the United States. The fate of legalized abortion rests upon the nine justices who will render a decision, possibly by this summer, concerning a Pennsylvania abortion law in dispute. The state law requires a woman to notify her doctor and her husband, then wait 24 hours before going ahead with an abortion. Pro-choice and anti-abortion groups alike anticipate a decision that could overturn the 1973 Supreme Court ruling of Roe vs. Wade, the case that legalized abortion for American women. And here, we get to the crux of the matter. For years, the Supreme Court has been chipping away at Roe vs. Wade as more and more conservative judges are appointed to the court, replacing the liberal retirees. Now, with only two justices re- maining who supported Roe vs. Wade, Harry Blackmun and John Paul Stevens, legalized abortion is sure to be shot down. But why? Because abortion is wrong? Because the Supreme Court was wrong in its ruling 19 years ago? I don't think so. The court will overturn Roe vs. Wade because the majority of its members personally oppose abortion. And that is wrong. We've seen Presidents Reagan and Bush make it a point to select conservative justices to sit on the court. Why? Because they know that conservative justices who oppose abortion on moral grounds will be likely to overturn Roe vs. Wade. And Bush makes regular emotional appeals to the court to reverse the ruling. And that is the problem. The Supreme Court's job is to interpret the constitution, not impose its members' or the President's moral beliefs on the country. The court found in 1973 that the constitutional right of privacy Take it from me Tracy Brooks applied to a woman's decision on whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Blackmun, ignoring his own Catholic upbringing, examined the law 19 years ago, and explored the medical issues surrounding abortion. He determined that a fetus could not survive outside the womb within the first trimester, thereby making abortion not a murderous act. But in the third trimester, he determined that a fetus could survive outside the womb, and an abortion at that point would be murder. These concepts still hold true. A fetus still cannot survive in the first trimester without a womb. And the Constitution has not changed since then. How, then, can the court justify an overturn? Is the law going to change every 20 years because of a new set of players on the court who don't like the past rulings? And I fail to see how the Supreme Court could find it in the best interest of American women to ban abortion. Women injuring and possibly killing themselves (through illegal or self-performed abortions) does not sound like something the constitution upholds. And that's what women will do if safe, legal abortion is not available. The Alan Guttmacher Institute reported that prior to 1973, there were 11 deaths per 100,000 aborlions performed. This figure, of course, does not reflect the many numbers of illegal abortions that went unreported. The number of deaths reported in 1985 was .5 per 100,000 abortions performed. And this does reflect the actual number of abortions in the U.S. today. It's obvious to me that legal abortion is a necessity in our society. Women deserve to have a safe, medical procedure available to them when they make private decisions about their own bodies and the fetuses inside them. If prolifers or President Bush, or even members of the Supreme Court don't like it, they should change the laws through elections. This is a question of social morals and social values, not a question of law. Let the majority decide what's "right" for this country. But leave the Supreme Court out of it.

Kito Ken -International Studies "I think they should. But wait, personally I don't like it, but if they are having a medical problem and can't have any kids for health reasons, I agree." Jason Brandon -Education "Well,l'mnotsurereallyhow I stand on that. It's a big decision on her part since it is her body and she has to go through it. I think the guy should have a little bit of say in it as to what he thinks, but ultimately I think it should be her choice." Derek Barnhurst -Secondary Education "I wouldn't think so because, I mean, she can't get pregnant by herself, I think the father has some responsibility, and should have some say." Paul Stapleton - Graphic Design "It's a group effort." Cori Baxter - Biology "Yeah because she is going to have to care for the child and carry the child, and she is going to have to deal with the changes in her body. If it's a young girl, it seems like the guy usually leaves and guys have the choice to leave and walk away. She has to carry the child, so yeah." Karin Lucero -Teaching "No, my reasoning base is if a woman makes the choice to sleep with a man and get pregnant .. . married or not, this is her responsibility, but the choice should not be hers since the baby is a baby from the moment of conception, it's murder, it's death to a child. Basedonthat,Ithinka woman should get counseling before she decides."

Editor's note: Each week an area within a 100-mile radius of Eugene will be profiled. Many locations will intetionally depart from the standard "beaten path." So, when the young pilot George Bush bailed out of his burning airplane after a battle over the Pacific, little did he know: • Parts of his aircraft engine were lubricated with cannabis hemp seed oil; We are very fortunate to live in a state abundant in beauty, natural resources, and culture. One could spend an entire lifetime in Oregon, and unless the need to work does not interfere with leisure time, it would be difficult to explore all the state has to offer. • 100% of his life-saving parachute webbing was made from U.S. grown cannabis hemp; • Virtually all the rigging and ropes of the ship that pulled him in were made of cannabis hemp; OAKRIDGE AREA: round for fishing. A scenic one-hour drive from Eugene on Highway 58 east, the Oakridge/Westfir area offers a recreational paradise for pleasure seekers of all kinds, including water-sports, fishing, hiking, swimming, camping, or a day's picnicking. Just a few miles east of the town of Oakridge, Hills Creek Reservoir is open year- Three boat launches are available around the lake. Five U.S. Forest Service recreation sites are operated, two of which provide overnight camping sites. If a less populated camping scene is preferred, just drive around the lake and find a site to suit.

Many primative camp sites have been established and are free to the first to arrive. Further east of Hills Creek on Highway 58, the Blue Pool campground is another location worthy of investigation. The Salt Creek runs alongside many of the sites. A natural cul-de-sac in the land has created a deep pool for swimming and diving from bordering rocks. A small beach-like area provides for sunbathing and summer fun, the day use area is nearby. Ten miles east of Blue Pool on Highway 58, you will find Salt Creek Falls. It is Oregon's second highest waterfall at a peak altitude of 268 feet.. The viewing area is wheelchair accessible and has a picnic area and ample parking. Trailheads lead from both the top and the bottom of the falls and are clearly marked. Trails lead hikers to Too Much Bear Lake and Diamond Creek Falls. The trail to Diamond Creek Falls is an easy one and offers views of several waterfalls along the way. NEXT WEEK: Bat watching at Salmon Creek and Blair Lake.

After all, what use is there in preaching to the converted? The film stars Liv Ullman as a physicist on sabbatical·on France,s beautiful medieval island of Mont St. Michel. Joined by chance with Sam Waterston, a defected U.S. Presidential candidate, and John Heard, a poet. The trio embark on a day of conversation, intellectual but never cold. They discuss fascinating and enlightening topics - the mechanistic philosophies of Descartes and Newton which dominate the world; the overpopulation problem; the difficulties involved in making politics work for the better of society; and (perhaps most intriguing and baffling) the bizarre nature of quantum physics, or the science of subatomic universe - a world alien and unfathomable to our minds, yet absolutely integral to our existence. Such a film, consisting as it does entirely of dialogue, may sound dry and esoteric. Doubtless some will see it that way. But it would be tragic indeed if the viewers walked away as ignorant as they entered. The fihn, s ultimate purpose is to persuade the masses (whoever they may be) to embrace a vision, to adopt an attitude toward the one world we share. The complexities of the world are staggering, and "Mindwalk" does not cannot - make them any less complex. Its argument: in order to face our troubles, we must expand our minds, and more importantly, our imaginations as complex as the crisis we face. In short, we must change our lives. What is Life? Any reasonably aware person understands that the answers to these questions are only to be found within the individual. What they cannot be blamed for is not understanding is how to find these answers. There they are, and they must be, lest we all perish, in fire or ice it matters not which. All that matters is that we find them, and apply them. After all, Healing the universe is an inside job. Mindwalkconcludes with John Heard quoting a poem by Pablo Neruda, a poem of questions without answers, leading to one undeniable truth, "Life is just not condensible." If it were it would not be worth living. See "Mindwalk.,, Treat yourself to a mindwalk in your own personal standard-issue mind. The exercise may do you - and the world - some good.

Four days later, the Titans won a nail-biting double-overtime 110-101 against Clackamas. The Jan. 22 win moves LCC into a first place tie with Chemeketa Community College. James Boutin broke two twenty-year-old LCC scoring records to lead the "excitin" Titans to a 111-101 double-overtime Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) conference victory against Portland CC (PCC) on Jan. 22 in Portland. Boutin sank 20of 28 shots from the field and nine of eleven from the free throw line enroute to a 49-point performance which shattered the previous Titan men's basketball single-game scoring record (38 points set by Greg Taylor during the 1971-72 season). The 20 field goals in one game also established a new record. The Titans, who led 52-36 at halftime, were forced into overtime when PCC's Craig Bolton scored with 15 seconds left in regulation play, then needed two free throws from Boutin with eight seconds left in the first overtime to force the game into a second extra period. When the game came down to the wire, Boutin stepped up with another clutch performance by scoring eight of LCC 's 15 points in the second overtime to cement a hard-fought victory. Sam Thompson scored 18 points, grabbed 10 boards in support of what Coach James Boutin called a "great team victory." , The Titans, 15-2 overall and 4-1 in the conference, moved into a first place tie with Chemeketa CC in the NWAACC Southern Division. In an earlier NWAACC game at LCC on Jan. 18, the Titans defeated Clackamas CC 95-73. Boutin scored 33 points for the Titans, but the name of this game was rebounding. Sam ThompsonledLCC, which out-reboundedClackamas 48-30, with 11 boards while Boutin and Curt Broadsword added nine apiece. . The Titans next game will be on Saturday, Jan. 25 at Mt Hood CC in Gresham. LCC will host Linn-Benton CC on Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. Titan women roll to pair of •impressive NWAACC wins by ROBERT CATALANO Torch Sports Editor There's no better cure for the Titan "poor-game"blues than impressive back to back Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) conference victories. The LCC women's basketball team overcame a blasl loss to Umpqua CC on Jan. 15, with a resounding 88-51 home victory over Clackamas CC on Jan. 18, followed by a 109-45 dismantling of Portland CC on the road on Jan. 22. "We got together after the Umpquagame and decided to improve our work ethic and focus more on the things we wanted to do," said Titan Coach Dave Loos. "We concentrated on improving the little things like not allowing easy offensive penetration, going after loose balls, and getting the rebounds on the other teams missed foul shots." The Titans pressure offense, which Loos considers the team's best defense, pressured Oackamas into committing 30 turnovers and held the Cougars to shooting 21.5% from the field. All-time LCC rebounding leader Maryann Graham pulled down twelve boards and scored 25 points to lead LCC. The Titans continued their pressure offense against Portland in a game where all 11 LCC players played and scored. LCC roared to 52-17 halftime lead and spent the second half concentrating on fine-tuning their game and avoiding a comeback. Maryann Graham scored 30 points and grabbed six rebounds, Katy Carter had seven assists and 12 points, Nicole Bignotti had four steals and twelve points, and Summer Milburn had five steals in a combined team effort. The Titans, who improved their NWAACC conference record to 4-1 (second place in the Southern Division) and 14-4 overall, play against Mt.
