But students involved in the Chemical Dependency Counseling Program claim Bond resigned because of surfacing allegations that he used his position to obtain personal loans from students and that he engaged in sexual misconduct (see student statement p.1 ). Bond's resignation was accepted by Student Health Services Director Sandra Ing on Jan. 31. Bond told the Torch on Feb. 4 he has "been on a rollercoaster with everything that has been going on, the new program with the counseling aspect is just not healthy for me." Bond stressed the resignation "is not an issue of relapse, simply of self-care." Bond, a recovering addict, had a relapse last year and was arrested at the college in March and charged with drug record tampering and possession of a controlled substance, Tylenol III. On Feb. 6, when told about the complaints from students in his program, Bond said, "I felt I made some bad judgements, but a lot that is going around is rumor and misperception." He said he had considered resigning in early Janruary, before the allegations surfaced. Responding to the statement issued by the students that Bond should not be absolved, Ing said, "The institution is not le.tting him off unaccountable -- he lost his job." But Ing would not comment on the student allegations due to the college's requirement to keep personnel matters confidential. She would only say, "He resigned. It's done. And it's over." In their statement, students cited the need for "a healthy system and an open and trust-promoting community," as reasons for their coming forward as a group to discuss the situation. A spokesperson for the student group, who did not wish to be identified, told the Torch that students needed to maintain privacy, yet also make a statement pertaining to the recent events. Ing, his supervisor, says Bond has "done a lot for this institution, a Turn Resigns, page 9 Task Force works for LCCEF ratifies tentative contract harassment solution Decision too late to save LCC:S annual open house by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH Torch Lead Writer You're sitting in a math class and the instructor cracks a joke filled with sexual innuendo. Is it sexual harassment? Every morning at work one of your co-workers pats you on the rear end. Have you been sexually harassed? LCC has established a task force to help instructors, students, and employees define sexual harassment and the steps they can take if it occurs. The committee is currently comprised of staff members Kate Barry, Sue Colvin, Dolores May, Dwight Miller, Ken Murdoff and Leslie Rasor. Barry, who chairs the committee says addressing harassment complaints is important because it affects everyone. "We need to create an environment where everyone feels the freedom to work and learn. Dealing with the sexual harassment issue involves two main parts. "First," continues Barry, "we need to educate people on what sexualharassmentis.Manypeople aren't aware their behavior is unsatisfactory. We all need to learn to be conscious of our own behavior." Astatement released from LCC President Jerry Moskus in late January says sexual harassment can take different forms, including: •telling sexual jokes; •making unwanted sexual advances; •subjecting someone to unwanted sexual attention; •attempting to coerce someone into a sexual relationship; •punishing or threatening someone for refusal to comply; •implying sexual favors may Turn to Harassment, page 11 by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor After 16 hours of mediation bargaining, the LCC Employee Federation (LCCEF) ratified a tentative contract agreement with the LCC bargaining team Feb.5. However, the tentative settlement comes too late to save LCC's annual Open House at Valley River Center, slated for Feb. 8 and 9. LCC President Jerry Moskus says the event was cancelled due to a lack of volunteer effort by classified staff and faculty members. About 65 percent of the union voted on the proposal, says LCCEF Head Negotiator Alan Bahret, sho\\.;;tg an "overwhelming support for ratification." LCCEF represents classified employees, a group made up of clerical staff, food service workers, groundskeepers, specialists, and technicians. As part of the agreement, no specific information will be released until the LCC Board of Education ratifies the contract at its Wednesday, Feb. 12 meeting, says Bahret. "It's a step in the right direction," in terms of maintaining the desired wage scale and keeping up with inflation, he says. All increases in wages and benefits will be retroactive to July 1, the date from which classified employees have worked without a contract. The union originally voted Jan. 6 to request fact-finding, a stage in the collective bargaining process in which an independentparty listens to both sides and issues an opinion. On Jan. 9, however, one day after a private session of the board, college negotiator Lon Mills proposed an additional mediation session. If the mediation session had not produced a satisfactory settlement, the union would have moved ahead with fact-finding, Bahret told the Torch in January. The next step could have been a strike vote by union members.

Students attending LCC from the Oregon Language Institute of Suseong-Gu. Taegu, South Korea, received certificates of completion during an emotional graduation ceremony in which ESL instructor Demetri Liontos spoke on the positive qualities of each student. Institute Director Inhee Lee says the program offered at LCC "exceeded all ofour expectations." The four-week program focuses on English conversational skills and idioms in an attempt to make the language come alive for foreign students. In addition to classroom activities, the students toured Weyerhauser and The Register Guard, crabbed in Coos Bay, and ice skated at Lane County Ice. Twenty-two-year-old Yun Seung Jae says the highlight of the program was the overnight stay at the Haceta Light House on the Oregon coast, where he says he saw the infamous ghost. • : • ESL Korean students and their advisors pose for a picture priorto·graduating from a new program which exposes them to American3 culture.

Arboretum looks to Lane for volunteer support by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor Earth Day now means more to LCC students than an opportunity to save the Earth. April 22, Earth Day, will kick off the eleventh year of the Mount Pisgah Arboretum Outdoor Program for elementary school students. The program runs through June 4. According to Fran Rosenthal, education coordinator for the arboretum, the program seeks col- lege student volunteers to guide tours and teach school children about the arboretum. "The good thing about getting students from LCC is that they can now get Cooperative Work Experience (CWE) credit," says Rosenthal. Students must volunteer 36 hours to receive one credit. Students may count study time, preparation, and training sessions in the 36 hour tally. Last year, 2,600 area school children participated. Rosenthal anticipates needing 60-80 guides •••••••••••••••• . . this year to meet the demand. According to Science Department CWE Coordinator Dixie Maurer-Clemens, students can receive biology creditor education credit for volunteering. As a location for the scientific study and exhibition of rare trees, the arboretum lies on 118 acres within the Buford Recreation Area, about two miles east of LCC's main campus. Rosenthal says the Friends of TheMt.PisgahArboretum, which directs the park, hopes to expand the arboretum to include exotic plants from all over the world, not only to educate people but to foster international friendships. petition is extremely stiff," she Training is. free, and includes stresses. free educational materials.

Most disabled students with whom Maurer-Clemons works were injured in the lumber industry, either in the woods or in the . mills, she says. Maurer-Clemons tells of a woman in her fifties, injured in a mill accident, who entered the Injured Workers Program a few years ago, and is now about to receive a four-year deree in ac- . counting. Another fonner student, who was disabled from a leg injury in the lumber industry, came to LCC, completed his training, and is now a general sales manager for a business, Maurer-Clemons says.

Wellinformedrap.gers will offer assistance and directions to locations suitable for your particular needs. The Westfi.Mufderheide tum-off is clearly marked just east of the ranger station. Traveling parallel to the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River, the W estfircovered bridge comes in to view. This 180 foot long bridge is the longest in Oregon. It is unique among covered bridges because it has a covered foot walk separated from the roadway section. Developed from the remains of a horse and wagon trail in the late 1800s, the Aufderheide Scenic Byway is one of the nation's first 50 National Scenic Byways, and stretches from Highway 58 (Oakridge) to Highway 126 (Blue River) through the Willamette National Forest. On the east side of the byway, one of the first sights to encounter is The • Gorge. 1bree million years ago, lava spewed out over the land to fonn a spectacular river-carved canyon. The viewing area is located at Buffalo Rock. Eighteen miles northeast of Westfir is the first of many campgrounds along the byway. Kiahanie campground offers 21 tenNrailer sites for a fee. Hiking trails are abundant throughout the byway, and one that is particularly enjoyable is the Fisher Creek Trail. It winds along the Fisher Creek and nestles up against an old-growth grove. Skookum Creed campground is 3.7 miles off the Aufderheide on road # 1957. Hike-in sites range from one to five miles in distance. Horse facilities are also available at this location. Mid-way on the Aufderheide, the Box Canyon information cabin and Horse Camp was built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Volunteers and information pamphlets are available intermittently to answer questions. The Box Canyon horse camp is available for use on a first-come, firstserve basis (no fee). NEXTWEEK:THEBLUERIVERSIDEOFTHE AUFDERHEIDE SCENIC BYWAY LCC's Injured Workers Program has better than 90 percent job placement success record. Dixie Maurer-Clemons, coordinator for the Proficiency Skills Injured Workers Program, says she places approximately 40 disabled students per term at community job sites, where they earn credit for work experience. All of these students were disabled from injwies resulting from work accidents. "When I call an employer to set up a Cooperative Work Experience placement for a disabled student, I 'sell' the student, not the disability. A business person only cares about whether that person can do the job for them," MaurerClemons says. "Injured workers tend to have a very good work ethic," she says.

This is nice and it gives me a warm, queasy sensation in my abdomen. There is an unspoken agreement between my edimyself. I make little pasty spheres out of com and tor chips with my tongue then shoot them across the room when he isn't looking, and he swills Brand-x carbonated cola beverages by the case. In this way, harmony in the universe is maintained. On some occasions we burp in unison, and cherubs hum along. I don't write any scathing critiques of his disgusting and often perverse personal habits and he doesn't mention my little incident with the pig embryo. Note: At this point, imagine everything going out of focus. Shapes distort in the manner of funhouse mirrors. The pages of a calendar are blown and scattered by the wind. A clock flies by, hands spinning counterwise, while the chilling phrase "pig embryo" echoes into infinity, and fades. I was a handsome fat boy and she was a redhead. We met in seventh grade science class over a spilled jar of bacteria or something. Our eyes met. Actually, our foreheads met as we both scrambled to save the w.orld from certain lethal On the Right Hemisphere by CHUKAR BACON contamination. The jar broke and she blamed me. I knew from that moment on I could not live without her. This was the year most of the boys realized that the curvature of a girl's clothing was directly related to her physique au natural. We stood huddled in groups of three or four, gawking at them from across the hall, boasting and fantasizing, making asses of ourselves, terrified beyond reason. I have seen my editor act this way around high a 1ftrt1, ,;:;~ n:At1!a wGi,/;,,;;;11~~l,,1,t.1@Z@if!i 1!ifa1ftst!H/0!.0!.@WW/. voltage power lines and full moons, but we have this understanding so I won't bring up the rubber gloves, the Albert Einstein centerfold (Ivy League issue), or the candid polaroid of him and a casaba melon together in a hammock. The focus of science class in seventh grade was biology. I don't remember any of it. My body was going through drastic changes and my brain was on pause. I saw no need to study biology; I was biology. No textbook description can compete with direct observation, so I observed her sitting direct! yin front of me, and lived to stare at the back of her head. She was not content with this arrangement and told me so, but only after she had strung me along and stomped on my heart. Ah, the good old days. She fell for some jock who later wound up in jail for drunk driving. I went on to win the Nobel prize (which I humbly declined) and gave all of my friends fancy cars of their choice. I forgot what I was talking about. Oh yes, the pig embryo. Well it's not worth expounding upon really. But my editor's got a hair piece that resembles a rabid squirrel. ;;;;;;;;;::;J;;;:::ccc;:;;;;;;;5;::;;,;;/C::it''''"";L,,S,,,;;;;2L~,;:;:;;;;2· "'.it:'t:{]ct:··22'2•2..:12 :: '(:'• :: 0 Question of the week: Would you be willing to spend an extra $1 per term in student fees to assist the college in creating an LCC Student Center on campus?

Since "rhetoric" is a term commonly used to describe what comes out of the mouths of American politicians and televangelists, we decided to investigate the meaning of the word. Good rhetoric, according to Aristotle (the philosopher, not Jackie Kennedy's ex-husband), is made up of three qualities: "logos", "ethos", and "pathos." "Logos" is the use of a logical argument to persuade the speaker's audience; "ethos" is the character of the speaker which comes across to the audience; "pathos" is the disposition of the audience toward the speaker. Although his speeches stressed the use of logic to persuade, Aristotle believed the speaker's good reputation (character), and his ability to relate to his audience were just as important. Somewhere down the path of history to the present day, Aristotle's _idea of good rhetoric seems to have taken a wrong tum. Present day speeches by public figures seem to be long on "pathos" and nearly devoid of the both "logos" and "ethos." In other words, 1990s speakers concen- '4t0l t1.• J. ,l, J~ .~ Death cloud inspires change Dear Editor, Smoke from cigarettes has long been known to be a cause of cancer, lung disease, and heart disease for many who get caught in nicotine's cycle of addication. Within the last years, the EPA has officially declared second-hand or sidestream cigarette smoke to be more deadly than drags from the coffin nails -- the cigarette actually filters out some of the carcinogens. Although it has been proven that children and other non-smokers who are exposed to tlqs secondhand smoke have an increased risk of developin_g cancer, lung dis..: ease, and heart disease, the admin- trate on telling the audience what it wants to hear with little regard for the logic or ethics of what they are saying. For example, when George Bushmeets "civil rights" leaders, he says he's for "civil rights." He then proceeds to veto most legislation specifically designed to promote these rights. So much for ethical credibility. Although the reasons for these vetoes may be logical, "its badfortheeconomy," he then turns around and defies logic by promoting capital gains tax cuts (designed to get the economy moving). These cuts will lead the government to borrowing more money. This additional borrowing will increase the percentage of the budget which goes to pay interest on both the new loans and what the government has already borrowed (which slows economic growth). George Bush, however is not alone in his ability to _ make Aristotle turn in his grave. All of the "America First" type politicians (or"Japan Bashers" if you prefer), also have a twisted version of good rhetoric. To a person, these politicians say they want Japan to buy more American cars. Now this may seem like a reasonable request on the surface, but let's look at it logically by asking a simple question. Do you think most Americans would pay more for a Japanese car which was both harder to get parts for and had the steering on the wrong side? This is what the "America First" people are asking the Japanese to d~. Besides, it's not Japan's fault that former U.S. government officials sell their country down the river at the drop of a hatin favor of acquiring Japanese lobbying · contracts. Another position on the American scene which often oefies logic is that of anti-abortionist conservatives who also continually vote against programs which would support the children born to poor families. Is it logical to ask a mother to have a baby and then not provide her with the means to support the child once it is born? We think not. We could cite hundreds of examples of the 1990s version of American political "rhetoric" to prove the veracity of our point, but we are persons of relatively good character and we understand our readers are probably tired of hearing the same old complaints. However, to give the speakers of this decade their proper place in the history of rhetoric, a new term is needed to describe speech designed to please rather than ethically and logically persuade. We've decided to name it "crapos." t'@fPIPW' ..,,. ;;:, ;@; ;,;;cc,..,,, ' ''" .: ;;; ;;;;;:;;;,,.,,.,,.,.,. ; ;;; ; ; ;,; ;, ;; '· ' ;;;,,,,;. ,,;, ,;.; ,d .........,,.,,., , , ,,, ...· istration still allows hundreds of students a day to be poison as unintentional as it is by other students, staff, and faculty who choose to be an addict to the tobacco money kings.

Michael Omogrosso Student argues health vs. rights Dear Editor: The folfu..ving is a letter I sent to each of the members of the Board of Education. I am a second-year student at LCC, majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies (Elementary Educalion). I am very concerned about the air quality in the Center Building on campus, and have appeared before the Board of Education twice in the last three months to expre$s my view on this issue. On both of these occasions I based my a.rgument for making LCC a smoke-free campus on two major premises. The first premise is that this is not a rights issue; it is a health issue. The second premise is that all of the food services at LCC are located either in, or ad:. jacent to, the smoking sections on the ground floor of the Center Building. In addressing the first premise, I would argue that a smoker has the choice to smoke or not to smoke. However, the nonsmoker's choice to breathe smokefree air is infringed upon when the smoker decides to light up. Moreover, the smoker has made the choice of engaging in an unhealthy practice. But when the smoker lights up, the non-smoker is forced to breathe the smoker's second-hand smoke. Thus, I would argue that this is indeed a health issue rather than a rights •issue. To support the second premise, I would contend that wherever one chooses to eat on the ground floor of the Center Building, one is sub- jected to second-hand smoke. This is especially true in the Deli area which is located directly in front of one of the smoking sections. I think it is a shame that the students in the Culinary Arts Program have to study and work day after day in this unhealthy environment. Further, I believe that the patrons and business people who enjoy the qutstanding cuisine of the Renaissance Room are perhaps getting a bad impresion of LCC because of the smoked filled Deli area. For the reasons I have stated above, and in the interest of promoting a healthful environment for everyone on the LCC campus, I am respectfully urging you and your fellow Board memebers to prohibit smoking in all college facilities and to spend no funds to build indoor smoking areas.

McManus says all the performers are somehow tied to LCC. "It's amazing what Lane has been able to give to help these types of artists . . . It's rarely done," he adds. According to McManus, a Cornell University representative visited Lane's electronic music program. The man was astounded at how much more the program had to offer compared to CU, he says. The Performing Arts department is working to combine music, dance, and visual effects. This year's show begins with Heather Perkins who, according to McManus, has been in the community for a number of years and has received international recognition for her music. This year, Perkins will sing while performing on the synthesizer and guitar. Former student and staff member Joan Meyer follows Perkins with a piece built around her electric bass. She has connected the bass to a sampling system for colorful sounf to which members of LCC dance program will perform to. Student Chris Owen then takes over the stage to perform a piece reflecting his extensive research on Ethiopian culture and history, using synthesizer and slides relating to different aspects ofEthiopian culture. McManus considers this particular piece one of the major works of the night. "Chris Owen is a master at combining sounds and design to create a feeling that you 'rein theplacehe's playing about," he says. Afterashortintermission,BrantWojackperforms The Torch the first set of songs played through a surround sound system in which speakers are on all sides of the audience. Says McManus, "It'll feel like you're inside the instrument." Wojack 's instrument, The Stick, is a 10-stringed, "piano on a guitar fret board," with five strings for guitar and five for bass. Besides the Stick, Wojack masters a synthesizer to coinside with a synchronized, computer-generated animation video created by LCC electronic musician Dennis Ridenour. UofO electronic music teacher Jeff Stolet appears next with a piece entitled "Gregorian." McManus says that Stolet's style is "somewhat avant-guard, butStoletlikes to consider it 'new-age avant-garde.'" The finale will feature composer/arranger/ performer Art Maddox as the guest artist. McManus says he considers all the artists as guests, but the department chose Maddox for his extensive experience and past achievements in music. As early as a teenager, Maddox performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra before progressing to composing. Maddox writes for solo instrument, and music for theater, film, radio, television, and dance. He has also worked with Mason Williams and author Ken Keasey. The major composition of the evening will be "Crystal Ball: Viaggio," a piece depicting the darker side of Cristopher Columbus's "discovery." "Arthur is sure to capture the crowd with his music," says McMannus. McMannus hopes the audience will walk away from Electronic Artistry '92 feeling focused on the artists, not just the technology. "The musicians are the artists, not the machine", he emphisizes. The concerts will be on Feb.7 and 8, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Adult tickets will be $9, senior tickets, $7, and student tickets, $6. Multi-media event set for LCC with students, staff, and alumni Wind instruments, keyboards, mixing boards, effects by BRIAN BLOCH Torch Staff Writer The classic image of the subdued composer sitting quietly at the piano creating musical art will be shattered in this weekend's Electronic Artistry '92 with digitized sounds, lights and modern dance -all surrounding the audience through a sophisticated sound system. The sixth annual LCC Electronic Artistry concert, will run Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. in the Performing Arts Main Theatre. Edward McManus, head of LCC's electronic music program, said the majority of the music will be electronic, synthesized on computerized keyboards, wind instruments, mixing boards and special effects machines. The electronic technology allows artists to integrate several instruments into a single performance with the use of a computer, known as Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI). Although the computer is used as an compositional aid, McManus said the creation of the performance requires the skillful manipulation of these modern technologies by human hands. "It still takes quite an artist to do something interesting," he said. "What we try to emphasize is the human element." Arthur Maddox, the featured guest artist, boasts a long and impressive portfolio of songs and music for theatre, radio, television and film. He has worked with Emmy-Award-winning composer and author Mason Williams on numerous projects, and appears on Williams' current record with Mannheim Steamroller. He has performed twice at the Oregon Bach Festival, written several compositions for chamber, symphonic, solo, vocal and choral performances, as well as numerous multi-media compostions and arrangements. "I think the show is going to be great," Maddox said. "What the theater department has done with the lighting and stage set up is visually captivating." The annual concert has received national recognition and growing populaity since its birth, McManus said, forcing the introduction of a second show to accomodate increased audiences several years ago. In addition, the event has three times been written up in Keyboard Magazine, which McManus called "a nice boost for the program. In addition to the performances, Jim Aikin, Keyboard Magazine contributing editor, will host a freepublicforumonnewmusicsystemsFridayatl0 a.m. at the performing arts theatre. "People (performers) are starting to call us wanting to come and perform, rather than us having to go out and recruit them," he said. Tickets are still available for the show at the LCC Performing Arts box office. Adult admission is $9, seniors are $7 and student admission runs $6. A special studentrush after7 :30eachnight will give all students in the local area a chance to pickup left over tickets for $5 each.

"Liars cover things up for their own private benefit; storytellers uncover things so everybody can get somethin' good out of them." Jones, a.k.a. actor/activist John O'Neal, held a workshop Feb. 3 on the LCC campus. The workshop was part of the Hult Center's Community Involvement Program. "The concern for social and economic justice," says O'Neal, "is something we must be vigilant to protect for all times, and not for one segment of the population, but for all. It must be ongoing." Local group Now William' celebrates CD by LUKE STRAHOTA Torch Staff Writer Regular airplay on KR VM radio, once-a-month shows at the W.O.W. Hall and sell-out performances at New Max's Tavern have helped make "Now William" one of Eugene's most promising alternative acts to emerge since The Daddies. Those unlucky few who are yet to hear Now William will have a chance on Friday, Feb.14, when local record stores will stock the band's self-titled CD, "Now William" released on Fairholme Recording. In the next few weeks it will find its way to Northwest outlets. To celebrate the release, "Now William" will perform at The W.O.W. Hall on Friday, Feb. 7 to play new songs and satisfy the fans they've collected over the past year. The main concern for the collection, says bassist Chalie McClain was to maintain the same feel of a live show and try to reproduce it on CD. "Most bands, especially local ones, sound completely different from their live shows when they record their first release. I think, compared to most of the new music coming out from Eugene, this collection will be one of the best," says McCl.ain. In a live setting, "Now William" has no problem turning a crowd of dead-beats into a swirling ball of dancing energy. Guitarist Max Striplin uses both acoustic and electric guitar to maintain the grassroots feel of their music. McClain's hypnotic bass lines added to drummer Adam Glouger's slamming beats create a power house of a rhythm section. Within the melodic trio of Striplin, Glouger, and McClain, violinists Dave Krueger wraps the group together by dipping in and out of the songs in a whirlwind of bow-bending, string-churning sound. After the show, it's not uncommon to see smiling audience members soaked in a well-worked, dance-inspired sweat. For now the group is pleased with the following and success it has gained, but as Glouger says, the group would like to expand a little. "We'd like to get on the road a bit more and set our sights higher than playing the EMU Ballroom," says Goulger. This hot, local, up-and-coming band gathers for a $6 cover charge at the W.O.W. Hall at 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 14 with the local group Medicine Wheel as an opening act. A coupon will be available enabling fans to receive a discount when buying Now William's new CD or cassette.

LCC took over sole possession of first place in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College's (NW AACC) Southern Division with victories over Chemeketa CC on Feb. 1and Southwestern Oregon CC (SWOCC) on Feb. 5. In the game against SWOCC, defensive intensity allowed the Titans to turn a lackluster offensive effort into a comfortable 7157 victory. After the Lakers' Mike Storm answered Sam Thompson's bucket with a couple of freethrows to tie the score at two-all, SWOCC didn't score until fiveand-a-half minutes later. In the meantime, LCC scored eight unanswered points to take a 10-2 lead. Although the Titans led 25-19 at the half, an impatient offense shots seemingly full of basket-repellentpreventedLCC from putting the Lakers away early. After Geoff Rasmussen in-· creased the Titan lead to 54-41 with seven minutes remaining in the game, LCC began to slow down the pace of the game to take time off of the clock. As time wound down, the Lakers' frustration increased. The slow-down offense of the Titans kept the ball out ofSWOCC hands, and when the Lakers did get the ball, the Titan defense t()rced them to commit a nun1ber of turnovers and offensive fouls. Because LCC was in the I0foul bonus (where the "one and one'' becomes a guaranteed two foul-shots), every foul committed by the Lakers sent a Titan to the line. The Titans seldom missed. In the last 8:58 of the game, LCC dropped in 19 of 21 foul 111d shots to seal the victory. "Our defense was great," said Titan Coach Jim Boutin. "It won the game for us." Thompson and Jim Snyder had sixteen points apiece for the Titans. In the Feb. 1 game in Salem, theTitansavengedtheironlyconference loss of the season by beating the Chiefs 84-79. James Boutin scored 25 points to lead the Titans, while Snyder, Thompson, Curt Broadsword and Eric Rasmussen all scored in double-figures. The LCC victory snapped Chemeketa's 27-game home winning streak and enabled the Titans to take the conference lead. The Titans go on the road for a Feb. 8 game in Oregon City to meet Clackamas CC and they will play against Umpqua CC in Roseburg on Feb.12. The Titans return home to face Portland CC on Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. Women rout SWOCC, win squeeker at Chemeketa by ROBERT CATALANO Torch Sports Editor Maryanne Graham scored 35 points, eclipsing her previous single-game high, as the Titan women bounced Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) 85-65 in a Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) conference matchup on Feb. 5. The Titans jumped off to a 14-6 start, but SWOCC mounted a comeback and cut the lead to 19-17 with nine minutes remaining in the first half. Although Graham led LCC on a 10-2 run to take a 29-19 lead, the Titans looked erratic and unsure of themselves at times. "We never really got into the flow ofour game," said Titan Coach Dave Loos. "We made lots of mistakes but we'll take the win." Loos, who acknowledged he wasn't happy with the game's officials after they called a technical foul on Katy Carter in the first half, was reluctant to blame them for the tentative nature of his team's play. However, SWOCC coach Hunter Fales wasn't as charitable. Fales, who was hit with a double-technical foul late in the game, didn't lay his team's loss at the feet of the officials, but he ffeels they adversely affected the play of both teams. "The ability of the athletes at this (the community college) level is good enough that the officials should just let them play rather than trying to prevent it," Fales said. Fales was so upset with the officiating, he kicked a chair after the double-technical to physically show his displeasure. The Titans, who led by as many as 25 points in the second half, shot 43 percent from the field and hit 26 of 30 free throws. On Feb. I, the Titans defeated Chemeketa CC 66-64, on Ann Meier's bucket with two seconds left in the game. Maryanne Graham once again led the Titan scoring with 29 points. The Titans, who are now 18-4 overall, and 8-1 in league play, head for Oregon City to play Clackamas CC on Feb. 8, and then travel to Roseburg with a showdown against NW AACC Southern Division leader, Umpqua CC on Feb. 12.

Coaches vote Titans tops in NWAACC by ROBERT CATALANO Torch Sports Editor Good news came to the LCC men •·s basketball team on Feb. 3, when the Northwest Athletic Association ofCommunityColleges (NWAACC) coaches ranked the Titans as the top team in the conference. TheTitans, whoarenow8-1 in the NWAACC SouthemDivisioo, and 19-2 overall, collected six of tenfirstpl_ace votes and are ranked ahead of Edmonds (Wash.) CC and division rival Chemeketa CC. Chemeketa fell from the top spot this week as a result of their 84-79 home-court loss to LCC on Feb. 1. Along with the good news, The Torch however, the Titans must learn to accept the bad. Ehren Plummer, one of the Titan's starting guards, will be lost to the team for the season as a result of a knee injury suffered in a game against Umpqua CC on Jan. 15. Plummer tore his anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees and says it may take up to nine months for the injury to heal. "(Plummer's injury) is a real tough loss for us," says Titan Coach James Boutin LCC's Feb. 5 win over Southwestern Oregon CC. "You could see that tonight with the way our offense never got going." In addition to the good news for the men, the LCC women's team is ranked sixth in the NWAACC poll and sure to improve their position as a result of their Feb. 5 victory over Southwestern Oregon CC. They face second-ranked Umpqua CC on Feb. 12 in Roseburg. . . . ·•·• c otte·ctib1f The Torcb :wishes to apologf~e . \ )o. . >NJcole . .Bignotti arid .S.um'°er : inMilburn) Nicole was correftly .ideniifi~d .as .•. : Summer, who . was said to ·• be"lookmgon''jna Torch • photo On page··11 of the Ja"-..31, J99~~e~.

Contract __co_n_tin_ue_d_fr_om_p_ag_e_l_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Disabled student Frederick Gauble works on high tech computer system. by LYNN REA Torch Lead Writer Editor's note: This is the third story in a series of articles and analyses focusing on the topic of disabled accessibility. Speech synthesizers, IBM screen readers, talking calculators - the list sounds like something right out of "Star Trek." But to visually impaired and other disabled students at LCC these "assistive technology" items are readily available. Disabled students now have access to five Macintosh computers and five IBM compatible computers, funded in part by the Oregon Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. LCC was awarded a grant above all other community colleges in Oregon after submitting a winning proposal to start up a computer lab. Delores May, Disabled Student Services coordinator, says software is available to the visually impaired student who wants to learn how to use the computers. First the students learn to use a speech synthesizer and screen reading program, in order to use the Word Perfect software program. May says using Word Perfect without assistance makes the disabled student much more independent and more employable. For blind student Fred Gauble, the new high tech equipment is part of many services he uses at Lane. Gauble, who is learning to use the screen reading/voice synthesizer, says the computer allows him to effectively communicate with others through his letters. Gauble, who relies on his cane to guide him around campus, doesn't use Braille, which he describes as "like reading a rash." Instead, he uses other student services such as books on tape. "I had to get a Lit book here taped, and they (Disabled Student services) did okay on it." And he spends most of his time in the Math Resource Center just trying to keep up. ''Those people have been incredibly good to me. If it weren't for those people I wouldn't be anywhere near as far in math ...

And according to Faculty Council President Don Micken, the faculty council voted to withdraw its volunteer support from the open house as well, in support of the classified staff. The faculty "would choose to support the classified staff," says Micken. The College Council, made up of representatives from management, Faculty Council, Classified Council, and ASLCC, discussed the question of whether to cancel the open house at length during its Feb. 4 meeting of College Council. Unable to reach consensus, President Jerry Moskus decided to can- eel the event. "It was really a painful decision to make," says Moskus. "We thought that the faculty were going to support (the VRC event)." Without the full support of the staff, the general belief was that LCC could not assemble a quality show, he says. "I tried to make the point that collective bargaining should occur at the bargaining table," says Moskus, and shouldn't spill over into other events. In any case, he says, faculty involvement in the LCCEF negotiations is "inappropriate." "It's horribly unfortunate," says Sirois in light of the tentative agreement. "We feel bad as members of the community college." But, he says, "We don't apologize for any of that." There is a lesson to be learned, says Moskus.

The former Communications Director, Seth Craig, resigned at the beginning of Winter term, when he determined he could no longer afford to attend classes. Rhodes had assumed some of the duties of the communications director on an interim basis after (1) ,rrne . 2\f,naiss a nee !l{pom Open for Lunch Wednesday, 'fe6. 12 and %ursday, 'Fe6. 13 'Earfy 'Bird MocfJail JfouseSafad 'Beer Cfiuse Soup 'Breast ef Cfiicf(5m (jismonda 1'illet of Snapper 'Bonne 1'emme Clierry Cfiusecakf, Craig resigned. The ASLCC also appointed two students to senate positions. Bill Hollingsworth and Darwin Holbrook assumed senator's responsibilities. With the appointment of Rhodes to his new post, one Senate positionremains open. In other business: • Bill Hollingsworth asked the ASLCC to take a position on the smoking issue. He proposed a straw vote on the question, "Do we want to see a ban on smoking indoors?" "I feel we need to put out some intestinal fortitude," said Hollingsworth, and let the students know how student government feels about the issue.

Hollingsworth supported the ban, and Rice opposed it. "I think personally, right now, we 're doing what we need to be doing for the students," said ASLCC President Ernie Woodland. In other business: • Woodland expressed a concern about the Torch, claiming that reporters are not representing both parties in stories, and are not allowing both sides to comment.

Joe Harwood, Torch editor, apologized for the appearance of the ad, but pointed out that student government had read and approved the ad prior to publication. He encouraged the senate to approach the Torch with its concerns about fair news stories. He added that he would like to see improved relations between the Torch and the ASLCC. • The senate approved a funding request made by Senator Jeff Fernandez which would assist in promoting attendance at the athletic events at LCC. Students attending athletic events will have the opportunity to win gift certificates from local businesses, such as the Oregon Electric Station, Pietro's Pizza, the LCC Bookstore, and other restaurants around the area. The Senate approved funding not to exceed $300. • The senate approved $500 to fund luncheons for "Hungry and Homeless" in Eugene, to be held once a month through June for any homeless person who needs a meal. School District 4J will provide the space and staff, while ASLCC provides the food. • The Senate also approved funding for Computer Specialist Steve Wolf to work this tenn in the ASLCC office maintaining computers, teaching ASLCC staff, and upclating equipment. Wolf is allowed up to 75 hours of work at $6.54/hr. • ASLCC discussed approving $500 - $1000 in funds to bring Essex Hemphill, author of the book "Brother to Brother: New Writings by Gay Black Men," to campus at a future date. The next ASLCC senate meeting will be Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. in PE 205.
