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

â– 

â– 

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.

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.

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

loaded, but if you 're seriously

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.

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."

took the next available thing - selling frozen yogurt in the underground
railway station.
"Business was terrible. It was one

Next, after looking through the
classified ads, he located an apartment in Brixton, and moved in with
an English roommate.

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."

LCC 's Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG)
believes that quality drinking water might not be available in the
future.
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."

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.

~---~~~~~~~--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 Services Manager Bob
Tegge says the tickets have been

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

Ptesident considered top notch
by DEBORAH STOTLER
Torch Staff Writer
LCC President Jerry Moskus
received top grades from the Board
of Education Jan. 8 for his managerial performance and for efforts
at shared governance, says Board
of Education Chairwoman Pat
Riggs.
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,

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."
Tom has a simple procedure
for gaining quiet.
"Just breathe," he suggests,
"So often, we get so involved in
a situation that we breathe very
rapidly. Breath controls how we
feel and respond. If we breathe

Lane students deserve a Student Union Center
Every few years at LCC, student government leaders
banter about the idea of a centralized student services
building - sometimes called a student union building.
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.

QUick! Open the box
On The Right Hemisphere
by CHUKAR BACON

Step 1. Have Someone read this
to you.

Step 2. Open your eyes.
Step 3. See a box.
Step 4. Open the box.
a. Quick! Get a sharp knife.
b. Don'trun!
c. Hurry back.
d. Now cut all that tape off.
Warning!: Running with a sharp
knife should never be confused
with "running with the wrong
crowd," orrunningwithafork, or
a chainsaw, or a bayonet, or a
carrot in your mouth; unless the
situation calls for quick action, in
which case hurry up!
e. Dispose of tape properly.
(See "OSPIRG")
f. Fold flap "A" out to side 1.
Hold flap "A" with left hand.
Crease fold with right hand until
cardboard weakens and flap stays
away from box. Grasp flaps "C"
and "D," one in each hand. Now
when I say "Go" you pull up as
hard as you can. Okay? Go!
Note: thismethodshouldresultin
flaps "C" and "D" pushing flap
"B" up, at which time all four
flaps arc pointing away from the
box and their folds should be
immediately creased, except that
they glue boxes these days.
Step 5. Trim the mangled remnants of flap "B" with a sharp
knife.
Step 6. Put your hands in the box.
Step 7. Ask, "Why?"
Step 8. Turn box so that side three
is parallel with the ground.
Step 9. Grasp both sides of the
box from the rear.
Step 10. Dump the contents of

the box onto the floor.
Caution: Jump back!
Note: There is nothing harmful in
the box. It's just such a gas to
watch you jump like that!
Step 11. Open your eyes.
Confuse Us Say: "If one's eyes
are closed, how can one read any
instructions to open them?" (See
Step 1.)
Step 12. Kick box out of the way.
Step 13. There should be something on the floor. Look at it.
Step 14. Take that dam thing in
your hands and look at it.
Step 15. Ask yourself, "What the
hell is it?"
Aha! You decide it is green.
Stop! - If you are sqeamish or
petrified at this point, consult the
following:
Step 16. (Optional)
a. Drop the thing immediately!
b. Sniff your hands.
Note: It smells like ball point pens
and juicy fruit gum. Plus, it did
not feel like a banana slug.
c. Contemplate that.
Note: You were not instructed to
jump back. But if you did, nice
touch.
Step 17. Pick the green thing up
again. (Optional)
Step 18. Turn it up-side down.
Note: Turning (it) up-side down
will result in further embarassment
caused by the immediate emptying of the contents therein as a
result of the force of gravity.
Step 19. Ignore the contents of
the thing.
Step 20. Read Genesis.
Step 21. Read Dianetics.
Quote - "Read my lips; no new
taxes." -George Bush.

Question of the week: Should the choice
to have an abortion be a woman's alone?

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."

One more example of the importance of hemp: Five
years after cannabis hemp was outlawed in 1937, it was
promptly re-introduced for the World War II effort in 1942.

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. A variety of
secondary roads branch off the
primary route and garner explora-

he had attended) were woven from cannabis hemp;
tion. 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.

Salt Creek Falls, at 268 feet, is just one of the many breathtaking natural wonders to the east of Eugene/Springfield.

• Finaly, as young George Bush stood safely on the deck,
his shoes' durable stitching was of cannabis hemp, as it is
in all good leather and millions of military shoes to this
day.
Yet Bush has spent a good deal of his career eradicating
the cannabis plant and enforcing laws to make certain that
no one will learn this information--possibly including himself.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; let our rejoice rise
High as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won.
Stoney the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed
We have come, over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

Film takes philosophical walk
by JOSH HENDRICKSON
Torch Staff Writer
Thefihn "Mindwalk," directed
by Bernt Capra, is the boldest
work in cinematic philosophy in
years-maybe decades.It aspires
to inspire passionate thought in all
its viewers. 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.

LCC men go two overtimes to subdue Portland CC on road 111-101
by ROBERT CATALANO
Torch Sports Editor

Photo by Mathew Auxi6r

Jim Snyder shoots for two of his 19 points in LCC's 95-73 rout of Clackamas CC on Jan.18.
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. Hood CC in Gresham
onJan.25,andretumhomeagainst
Linn-Benton CC on Jan. 29.
