Board says no smoking Effective March 31, smoking will be banned indoors by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor After three months of intense debate and student lobbying, the LCC Board of Education reached a consensus Feb. 12 to ban indoor smoking on the main campus. However, the board will not vote formal! yon the policy until March 11. Effective March 31, the first day of spring term, all areas currently designated for indoor by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor On Feb. 17, 1967, LCC's fledgling radio station KLCC tested its wings with the Eugene-Springfield area for the first time, broadcasting 440 watts over the airways. Twenty-five years later, on Monday, Feb. 17, the station will celebrate its anniversary in the Hult Center lobby. Starting at 5:30 p.m., KLCC will offer birthday cake and beverages to anybody who would like to join in the fun. Evan Belize and Earth Forces, an local band, will provide entertainment, free of charge. The station has passed many milestones since its opening day on 200 N. Monroe St., where the LCC campus was located at the time. Originally an arm of the Electronics Department, the station served to train students in both the technical and operational sides of radio KLCC CELEBRATES 25 YEARS Volunteer, community support make ;t happen Pictured above: Current KLCC staff. stations, says KLCC General Manager Steve Barton. The emphasis shifted, however, when the station took on an independent status within the college in 1977. KLCC started reaching deeper into the community at that time, says Barton. "That was a time when a clear decision was made to make KLCC a non-instructional program and to operate it with professional staff," says Barton. Training opportunities for students remained constant, however. Steve Katz, a volunteer who hosts "Jazz Inside-Out" Wednesday evenings, says that when he started at the station over 10 years ago, "The need for volunteers was enormous." KLCC used volunteers to staff all the morning positions. The volunteers, in, turn, learned and improved their radio skills. The people were available and reliable, he says, and KLCC used Turn to KLCC, page 11 Sexual harassment case puts system to test by KIM CHALLIS ROTH Torch Staff Writer *Last week the Torch carried an article on the LCC Sexual Harassment Task Force. This week the Torch follows the path of a woman who has decided to file a complaint against a man who, she alleges, has touched her sexually and seeks her out on campus despite her efforts to repel his advances. Please note: the official complaint procedure as recommended by the Task Force won't be implemented until spring term, so the woman in this story must follow the present rules. In late January, LCC President Jerry Moskus released a statement on sexual harassment based on recommendations of the Sexual Harassment Task Force which is currently comprised of staff members Kate Barry, Sue Colvin, Dolores May, Dwight Miller, Ken Murdoff and Leslie Rasor. The definition of harassment includes sexual innuendo, unwanted sexual advances, attempting to coerce someone into asexual relationship, and creating an intimidating work or learning environment. In her complaint, Joanne (not her real name) alleges on Jan.30 she was exercising in an LCC facility when she came to a piece of equipment she had never used before. She requested help. The responsible staff member was busy with another student. But a man offered her assistance. Joanne knew the man, and says she felt comfortable with him. He told her to lie down on a bench. He began to help her with a specific exercise. Joanne says she became uncomfortable with his Turn to Harass, page 2 ''We've given this an extreme amount of time and concern. This is a very emotional decision." Larry Mann smoking will become nonsmoking locations. Board policy dictates that a vote on such an issue must occur at the next meeting following the discussion and consensus. Although the smoking issue had been discussed at the November and December meetings, board members were unable to reach an informal agreement. "We've given this an extreme amount of time and concern. This is a very emotional decision for everyone," said board member Larry Mann before announcing his support for the ban. Another board member ,Roger Hall, said the issue had been handled with sensitivity by the board, but reported that more sensitivity should be shown to the 2CXX)-plus students who do smoke. In December, the board instructed Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services, to provide cost estimates for possible enclosed smoking areas around the main campus. Colvin returned to the board with 12 possible locations. The modifications ranged in price from $500 to $18,193 per site. Hall, who originally asked the board to investigate alternatives Tum to Smoke, page 3 Harass physical contact, as he touched her breasts when helping her lower a metal bar. So she sat up. He asked her to try another piece of equipment, but she resisted. He urged her repeatedly to "just try it," so Joanne says she just "gave in." He toldherto grab onto a specific bar, went behind her, and wrapped his arms around her, covering her hands with his own. Joanne says she started to step away but says he tightened his grip. She claims he pushed himself so close to her that she could feel his genitals against her buttocks. Joanne says the incident shocked and stunned her to such a degree that she didn't confront the man immediately. "I thought I was sending him a clear message with my body language by pushing away with my elbows. I didn't say much at the time because inside I was scared to death. The anger hit later," she explains. Joanne says that prior to this incident, when she had seen the man around campus, he smiled and she had thought he was just being friendly. But Joanne saw the man the next day while she was walking near ' the Center Building with a friend. Joanne says she gave the man a "dirty look" but felt panicked nevertheless, and started to climb the stairs. A witness to the incident says the man pursued Joanne and grabbed at her from the back despite her obvious attempt to dissuade him with non-verbal signs. Joanne says she isn't sure why she was reluctant to report these incidents immediately. She says she was afraid. On Tuesday, Feb. 11, Joanne says she was in a room in the P.E. Building when another student came up and said 'Joanne, look who's here again. I thought I'd let you know because he's been watching you the whole time.' "I got the 'willies,"' Joanne says. "It grossed me out. I figured if I didn't look at him I could pretend he wasn't there. She says he began to talk to her. She says she told him to leave her alone. He tried to start a conversation again, so Joanne says she stood up andsaidclearlyandloudly"Stayawayfromme!"andthenleftthearea. Joanne says she talked to a staff member in the room, saying she wanted the man to leave her alone. That same day, she met with a member of the Sexual Harassment Task Force in order to get assistance filing an official complaint form. The task force member advised Joanne of her options-from an informal mediation procedure to an official complaint- and made an appointment for the next day. • On Wednesday, Feb. I 2, Joanne met with the task force contact. She was again advised of options available. The college employee reminded Joanne that she could probably settle the complaint informally. Joanne says she adamantly replied: "Excuse me. I already know what my options are. You've explained them several times and I have decided I want a formal complaint. I want it on record so there's background. If this ever happens again they can nail him. It's the only way it's going to stop." The official complaint form was sent to Bob Marshall, vice president of Student Services. In a copy of her official complaint form, which she gave to the Torch, Joanne says: "I would like this paper on file so that the man knows, without a doubt, his behavior was inappropriate and that he can not do this to me or anyone else again without repercussion." In coming issues, the Torch will attempt to report on the disposition of this complaint, and further explain the LCC procedure. •••••••••••••• =~-~= Ii Ii Ii Wednesday., February 19 10am-2pm Cafeteria • • • . -i ■. ; O O CDDDDDCDDDCCCCl c:::JDCCDDDCDCDDc:::J af. af. - DCJ - • Ii • Ii • Iii ==€l) DDDDDDDDCCCDDDD CJD • Demonstrations bg Apple., I BM., Microsoft., and more • • Join the Fun!!! • Sponsored by LCC Bookstore • •••••••••••••• Page2 February 14, 1992 College cleans up the garage 11 continuedfrompage 1 11 LCC sells equiptment through sealed-bid process by ERIC WALSTROM Torch Staff Writer LCC's Excess Property Control (EPC) service has one way to clean "the garage." The process is called a sealed-bid. "The garage" is the warehouse where equipment such as lathes, drill presses, or even a power hacksaw may be purchased through sealed-bidding. "Sealed-bidding is the way to go for LCC," says Robert Cudmore, the college's property control coordinator/buyer. The goal is to dispense surplus equipment for profit, and create storage space needed here at LCC, says Cudmore. A sealed-bid consists of a customer's first viewing the merchandise then making a minimum offer in writing to the college. Each bid is confidential. After the timeline has expired, the college opens the bids and awards the sale to the highest bid. The sealed-bid process begins with the various departments giving Cudmore items no longer of use to the college. Cudmore advertises in "The Daily" for a week, and if he determines that there is no educational use for the campus, he advertises in a newspaper or specialty magazine. Interested bidders then visit the Campus Services Building, located adjacent to the northeast parking lot, to look at the item and fill out a bid form. Photo by Erin Naillor1 Not necessarily junk! Everything from chairs to antiques can be found right here on campus, just waiting to be sold. The form is then placed in a sealed envelope. On the following Friday at 2 p.m., Cudmore opens the envelopes. Theprocessofpaymentand receiving takes about 30 days, says Cudmore. After sales are finished, unsold equipment is then made available to the general public for bid and purchase. But, "right now the (EPC) service is not promoting general sales to the public," says Cudmore. "This is a process of cleaning the garage or cupboard," jokes Cudmore. For information and questions regarding equipment being sold, call Cudmore at 7474501 ex. 2571. Tantrums solved by naked truth Humor by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH Torch Lead Writer Every morning for the last few weeks my threeand-a-half year old daughter, Jenny, has refused to get dressed without creating a major riot. I know she is only showing her independence. I went through it with my other daughters who are now ages eight and fourteen. For some reason Jenny's tantrums got to me. Maybe I'm less patient with age. Maybe it's because our family is busier now, keeping schedules at school and college. Whatever the reason, I decided to end these loud little morning rituals immediately. I walked into Jen's room stark, buck naked and announced: "Fine, if you won't wear clothes, I won't either!" Sreyelped, ''YOUcan'tgotosclXX>lnakedMommy!" "Why not?" I inquired as I casually finished brushing my teeth and putting on my make-up. Her older sisters looked at me from my bedroom doorway horrified. They know me. They know I'll serve them green eggs and ham, (courtesy of green food coloring), if they beg me to read the same book over and over. They know if they cry and whine in a grocery store that I'll go out in the parking lot and yell: "KID FOR RENT! KID FOR RENT!" The Torch They know I'll draw moustaches on them with a felt tip pen while they're asleep if they go to bed crabby just so they'll laugh in the morning. I walked downstairs and picked up my book bag. Jenny followed me hesitantly. Her sisters were frantically coaching her from the sidelines. "Get dressed, Jen. Get dressed or she'll do it!" I got my car keys and headed for the door. I reached for the deadbolt. "Okay, okay. I'll get dressed!" I heard from a short, but well-projected, voice behind me. It was such an easy solution. I wish everything could be settled so easily. Could President Bush threaten to attend peace talks naked? Would it hurry along world politics? Could the classified staff at LCC threaten to come to work nude? Would contract negotiations settle more quickly? When I told afriend of mine the story he asked me what I would have done if Jenny wouldn't of given in. He asked me if I would have gone out the door in the bare necessities. "\Yell, I answered, "It was foggy .... Realistically, would I have gone out? I don't know. Sometimes easy solutions come from radical ideas made on the spot. And sometimes people who take a stand are left out in the cold, exposed for the whole world to see. 11 11 ' Class clowns, clowning Orouhd w8tcome at Clown College·· . Jovial program uncovers childhood freedoms by LYNN REA Torch Lead Writer In one course at LCC 's Downtown Center, everyone is a class clown. Midterms involve knottricks and balloon animals. Welcome to Clown College, where 13 would-be clowns learn the skills from two masters-LuLu The Clown and his wife Bob-O. LuLu, also known as Lu Noah when not in costume, has been clowning around for over 20 years, but says he is realistic about the business. "Before you go into clowning full-time, you should have a regular job," he says. Noah's 10-week course teaches clown basics, such as beginning balloonology and the use of gimmicks such as a rubber chicken. Noah himself can make 125 different balloon sculptures including hummingbirds, bumble bees and parrots. He explains the history and ethics of clowning, and he covers the craft attitudes - the do' s and don'ts of clowning. For example, a clown is not supposed to wear his/her costume and makeup away from the gig, it's frowned upon by the clown community. Studentsarerequiredtodesigntheirowncostumes and makeup in designing their clown personalities. In the old days, a clown would register his "face" as belonging only to him/her, to keep others from copying the design. But now clowns register their facejustforthefunofit. Uponregistrationtheclown receives a card similar to a driver's license with the clown's picture and name. Besides the costume, a clown name is the most important element of the trade. And some students find it to be the hardest assignment in the class. But there's more to clowning than the makeup and magic tricks. Some students experience personal changes, as well. Forty-eight-year-old Christa Porche, known as "Bumbles," describes her job as a book preservationist for the U of Oas "extremely stressful." But she says clowning allows her the freedom to be a child again and celebrate life. "I'm an extrovert as a clown ... a new person is emerging." Former journeyman printer Dale Olmstead turned to clowning after several wrist surgeries left him unemployable. "No one wanted to hire me." Olmstead, known as "Fund-Time," now owns his own business selling wholesale carnival supplies and says that clowning helps to promote his products. One prerequisite to graduation from Clown College is the performance of six hours of community work, which Noah says students accomplish easily. "There are a lot of groups that are always asking for our clowns." Clowning around is a serious matter to these two clowns who were caught whooping it up at their graduation ceremonies. •••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••• Smoke continued from page 1 to a ban, such as constructing enclosed smoking areas, said infacr that experts say enclosed, separately ventilated smoking rooms are ineffective arid could actually pose a hazard to the smokers inside due to the confined area and heavy concentration of secondhand smoke. In offering his support for a ban, Hall stipulated two conditions, the first being a 30-day delay in implementation, and.the second "to have an accessible area outdoors where people can go without feeling like criminals." While most board members were receptive to the idea of a separately ventilated smoking area, they felt students who would use the areas should pay to help meet the costs of building the shelter. Chuck Ivey, echoing the feelings of other board members on the issue of a smoking shelter or indoor enclosed area, said, "I'm not real excited about paying for a smoking shelter with public money." Ivey, a smoker himself, told the board, "I go outside to smoke, and sometimes it gets pretty damn cold. We're (smokers) anew minority. We better get used to it." At the close of discussion, LCC PresidcntJerry Moskus asked that smoking cessation workshops be made available to students who smoke. Moskus will draft a smokingpolicychangetobevoted on by the board in March. In other news: • The board ratified the new contract with the classified union (LCCEF) after more than nine months of negotiations. LCCEF President Jerry Sirois thanked "everyone involved who helped us reach a tentative agreement, particularly Jerry Moskus." The new contract features a new insurance package for parttime employees, which includes health, vision, life, dental, and disability insurance. Classified employees will realize a 3 1/2 percent wage increase this year, a four percent increase next year, and a two ,percent increase the third year. Step 8 employees will receive a $400 bonus this year and a $250 bonus in 1993. All wage increases and bonuses will be retroactive to July 1 and paid out in March. • The board gave chair Pat Riggs authority to negotiate with Moskus on his upcoming contract . renewal. • Julie Aspinwall-Lamberts reported that the new charge per credit tuition policy has not affected enrollment. She also told the board that LCC is attracting more students seeking an associate degree in anticipation of attaining a bachelor's degree. ·ASLCC CAMPUS CAL-E.NDAR •••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••• •• • Friday, Feb. 14th • S.O.M.E.

The most disturbing part, however, is man-made chemicals cause the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer. The primary irritant is chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Used as a coolant in refrigerators and air conditioners, and as a cleaning solvent in factories, CFCs have permeated every branch of modem society. Thanks to great companies like Du Pont, which gave us Freon, CFCs are in virtually every society in the world. Everytime an old refrigerator is discarded and the coolant inside escapes, more CFCs are released into the atmosphere. NASA's alarming report, published a montli early, implies ozone depletion in the northern parts of the U.S., Canada, and Russia may be up to 10 times worse than previouslypredicted. Some experts say these "hotspots" could be as bad as the ozone loss in Antarctica. The big problem is that if the world stopped CFC production today, the ozone would continue to dissipate. CFC and its chemical by-product chlorine monoxide (CIO), remain in the atmosphere for decades after they are emitted. So what does all this mean to the common person? With the destruction of the ozone layer, greater amounts of ultraviolet (UV) radiation will reach the surface of the earth. And increased exposure to UV radiation means more skin cancer, accelerated aging, and more cataracts. Excessive UV rays could even alter crop yields and effect the food chain. In Australia, where severeozonedepletionhas already taken place, skin cancer has tripled in the last few years. Children in some parts of Argentina are forbidden to go outdoors between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., according to TIME magazine. When scientists first raised alarms in 1974, no one listened. Such reports were dismissed as fallacy. It was not until 1978 that the U.S. banned use of aerosol cans, used for consumer products like hairspray, another CFCs source. When, in 1985, the ozone hole above Antarctica was "confirmed," the rest of the industrialized world woke up.

The industrialized world is now trying to phase out CFCs by 1996. Japan and Gennany wantit<X>ne by 1995. Private business has been moving, over the last decade, to find alternate compounds. Many businesses are moving faster than the law requires to phase out CFCs production and consumption. So what has our Environmental President done? Well, since finding out that an ozone hole could appear above Kennebunkport, he plans to move faster than originally planned. This last week the Congress voted 96-0 to speed up the phase out. One report says the military industrial complex is responsible for two-thirds of eFCs consumption. This is another example of big business producing hazardous materials without knowing the final outcome. We may never know the effects of what has already been done to the environment. Just a few years ago, the Bush Administration was denying the existence of the greenhouse effect and global warming, saying that there was no conclusive proof. If we wait for this indisputable proof every time, then we are signing our own death certificates. • Contract raises questions To the Editor: As you know, Weyerhauser was recently awarded a contract to take over the recycling program here at LCC. I am glad that they will continue to recycle all material that was previously recycled. Also, I hope that their recycling program will expand to include various other recyclables. My main purpose in writing this letter is to question the process in which Weyerhauser was . awarded this contract. In my opinion this process was too quick and kept a little too tightly behind closed doors. First of all, I worked in the recycling center until the 20th of December '91, and I was not told or aware of any open bidding process for the takeover of the LCC recycling program. In fact, the majority of LCC's faculty were not even aware that Weyerhauser was awarded a contract until after the fact (Post Jan. 7 '92). Secondly, why weren't the students of LCC and the student government informed of such ongoing processes concerning the recycling program? I feel that the LCC administration should of announced its intentions concerning the recycling program and involved students, student government, and their own faculty in the decision-making process Finally, in light of the above views, I do have some doubt about whether the students are getting the best service for their money. Like Father Dieringer, I feel LCC could have taken advantage of state and federal incentives and operated the recycling center with student employees. Shannon Wilson Student says OCA not 'Nazis' To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to a cartoon that appeared in the February 7, 1992, issue of the Torch. The cartoon depicts the Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA) as furious wasps flying out of a nest with swastikas on their wings. The caption below reads, "In this town you gotta be careful not to stir up the wasps!" I am concerned that the Torch has allowed the OCA to be portrayed as angry Nazis. I would hope that the Torch would not want to promote misinformation, even in this visual form. Everyone doesn't agree with the OCA's mission, but the organization conducts its agenda through proper legitimate legal channels. I believe students would appreciate being informed in a fair and balanced manner. Sincerely, A concerned student, Randal Siner Tile. .....«a8'(.;>!]81SS8QCe OOIIl Luckily for Leonardo, his valentine was disposable I only write love songs when I'm in love.

Rev. Arthur Shankle, Bethel Temple's minister and former LCC student, says his 120 to 150 member congregation has grown too large for the building where the church is now housed. Shankle, a successful building contractor before he retired and devoted himself full-time to his ministry, says he is now drawing up the blueprints for the new church. "We have quite a few members experienced with building. And I've turned over the fund-raising (for construction costs) to different committees," he says. Tony McElfresh, a tree planter who takes business classes at LCC, puts his recently acquired sales skills into raising the community's awareness regarding Bethel Temple's services via fund-raising activities. McElfresh had organized a bake sale to take place at LCC, but had to postpone it. LCCmaybethetargetof such fundraising activities in the future, though. Characterizing himself as a "fairly new church member," McElfresh says that he initially became aware of Bethel Temple after he heard its choir at the Eugene Celebration. "This building project is one that I have a lot of faith in," he says. "The Rev. Shankle's strong leadership is a shining example of what happens when someone puts all their faith in God." McElfresh says the new building will provide accommodations for a day care center, a state certified drug and alcohol treatment center, and, "a place right here in town where children can take part in activities." Henry Luvert, a church member for 15 years, says that . besides providing a necessary larger structure, tlie church's new location will create better visibility. He hopes people otherwise "on their way to somewhere else" will be curious, and maybe even stop in. Even though the congregation has a high percentage of African-Americans, Luvert points out that the church's services are open to everyone, regardless of color. "After all, he notes, "heaven will be integrated." He acknowledges Bethel Temple's hybrid philosophy involves hard work as much as it does faith, because "faith without works is almost nothing." Luvert's personal crusade also encompasses the conviction that present-day society has a one-sided sense of history. He says it's crucial for all people to take it upon themselves to learn more about black history. He wonders, "How can you respect somebody if you don't know anything about their culture?" 0 Recounting his own history, Shankle, 61, credits his Rev. Arthur Shankle parents' teachings for the firm foundation from which his strong work ethic is derived. you enjoy. If you love the work you're doing, you can make "I've always worked hard," he says. "My Daddy taught your life that much happier." us to be independent."

Most students participate in the program during the summer months. Participation has increased, Marston says. "Four years ago we sent one person to Mexico. Now we have 10-12 students there per term."

How many will have the resources, tenacity, and the emotional commitment is another story," says Marston. Marston is assisted by many people, one of whom is Linda Myers. Myers works with the program in Mexico, in which nine students are currently involved. She traveled to Mexico last summer to get ready for the responsibility of taking the students to Mexico this year. Myers stayed with a family for six weeks and worked in orphanage.

Melanie Kelly scored22 points as Umpqua Community College beat the Titans 72-68 in a Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC)conference game on Feb. 12 in Roseburg. "We played better against them then we did before," said Titan HeadCoachDaveLoos. "But they really killed us with free throws." Umpqua made 16 of 26 free throws while the Titans only went to the line ten times. The Titans, now 19-5 overall, and 9-2 in the NWAACC, only trailed 31-27 at the end of a predominantly see-saw first half. However, in the second half, after Umpqua had extended their lead, the Titans caught fire and seemed to be on the verge of taking over the game on a number of occasions. But just in the nick of time, every time, came a Kelly threepointer to reverse the Titan mo- mentum. Kelly, who had been zero for seven from three-point land in the Timberwomen 's previous game, hit five of six to sink the Titans. "One of her three-pointers was partially blocked and it still went in," said an unbelieving Loos. Maryanne Graham, the NWAACC's leading scorer, led LCC with 20 points. Against Clackamas CC on Feb. 8, Margaret Hayenga crashed the boards for 19 rebounds as the Titans beat the Cougars 80-75. The Titans, who trailed 43-36 at the half, took the lead for good with thirteen minutes left in the game. Despite both fouling out of the game, Maryanne Graham scored 29 points and Katy Carter added 12 to lead the Titans, while Nicole Bignotti chipped in 14 and Hayenga added 15 in her best performance of the season. LCC has three games remaining on their NWAACC conference schedule: Portland CC at LCConFeb.15,Linn-BentonCC in Albany on Feb. 19, and Mt. Hood CC on Feb. 22 at LCC.

Titans beat Umpqua CC 73-6 7to remain tied for first in conference by ROBERT CATALANO Torch Sports Editor The LCC men's basketball team bounced back from a disappointing conference loss to pin a 73-61 loss on Umpqua Community College on Feb. 12 in Roseburg. "We had outstanding teamwork on defense," said Titan Coach Jim Boutin. "We put defensive pressure on them from the start, we played with great determination." The Titans, who are tied with Chemeketa CC for the Southern Division lead in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NW AACC)conference, led from the start and had a 12-point margin, 37-25, at halftime. The Timbermen scored the first six points of the second half to close the gap to 37-31, but that was as close as they got. The Titans turned on the defensive pressure, led by Mike Nevis and Jim Snyder, and sent a packed house away disappointed. In the Feb. 8 game at Clackamas CC, it was missed free throws and turnovers which ultimately cost the Titans their undisputed lead in the Southern Division. The Titans, usually accurate from the charity stripe and sure-handed with the ball, only converted 13 of their 28 free throws and committed 22 turnovers in the 82-78 loss.

NPR recognized KLCC and what a good job the station does, he says. After 25 years of flying high, Barton says the focus of the future is now survival. With Measure 5 budget cuts, he expects the college to direct fewer funds to the station, making the need for community support that much greater, he says. Barton says he hopes the station might change locations in the next five to 10 years, possibly to a new building. Basically, he says, "We 're pretty optimistic about the future of programming and what we can do to add services to the community." CODEPENDENTS ANONYMOUS Wednesdays 12-12:50 p.m. M&A 250.
