Expansion forces college
to assume recycling costs

Torch Staff Writer

Bush fails in wildlife polls

Nixon, the squirrel, campaigning against Presidential incumbent George Bush earlier this
month. One of the few remaining four-legged Democratic voters in the state, he says the
"Environmental President" has failed miserably. Says Nixon," I like nuts, but four more years
of George & Dan is just plain crazy!"

The word from college and Weyerhaeuser officials on LCC's new
recycling program is so far, so good.
Entering its third week of existence, the new recycling program has
called for some superficial and organizational changes, although the
goal is the same -- provide a renewable resource and jobs for the local
community.
However, the greatest change is cost. The program has been
transformed from non-profit, in-house administration to another column on LCC's yearly debt list.
Gone are the attractive wood collection bins created by Father Jim
Dieringer, replaced by more utilitarian steel barrels provided by
Weyerhaeuser's recycling division. The paper and lumber company
took over management of the program in January, after Dieringer
announced he could no longer handle the rapidly increasing volume of
recyclables with the resources available to him.
"I realized fall term that I just couldn't keep up," Dieringer said.
"The program grew to where I had to decide whether to get into
recycling full time or turn it over to the school. I chose to turn it over
to the school."
Dieringer said in addition to the increased volume of recyclable
materials, a lack of work study help during fall term and his other time
commitments with the Campus Ministry and teaching obligations
forced him to leave the program after more than three years at the helm.
"He was spending almost full time recycling, and that's not his
capacity at the college," said Campus Services Director Paul Colvin.
The college picked up the ball and hired Weyerhaeuser' s recycling
division to run with it. Under contract, the college will pay Weyerhaeuser
$7,100 to provide the new bins, collect recyclable material, and haul
and recycle it for the remainder of 1992.
With plans for expanding the program to include tin, plastic and
glass, Weyerhaeuser will charge LCC just over $14,000 to administer
and implement the program in 1993.
Because revenue collected from LCC recycling totalled only
$1,300 last year, some have questioned the dollar amounts Weyerhaeuser
is charging for its services in addition to its collection of all money
received from the sale of the recycled material.
However, Dieringer explained that because the program's size

Racist fliers circulate LCC campus
Students say they .aren't surprised at recent outburst
by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH
Torch Lead Writer
Ernie Woodland, ASLCC President, is an educated 37-year-old black man. Woodland would like
to thank the National Socialist Front for distributing
the racist fliers that were seen posted to campus
bulletin boards on Valentine's Day, Feb.14.
The fliers contained information about racemixing, crimes committed by blacks and also gave
tips to readers, including:
• ... do not descend to the level of blacks.
• Organize lawful pickets and boycotts of theaters
showing films promoting race-mixing.
• Write letters of protest to television networks
and stations airing programs promoting racial integration.
• Promote and support pro-white candidates such
as David Duke from Louisiana.
"It wasn't surprising. What bothers me is the
subtleness. I would rather know someone is prejudiced towards me than have it happening behind my
back. I'm happy it happened because it opens up

people's eyes," Woodland explains. "In all essence,
it's really good timing. We're trying to establish our
Affirmative Action program (at LCC) and then
something like this flier comes up and confirms
what we are talking about!"
LCC student Elliotte Cook says the distribution
of the fliers couldn't be timed better. Prior to the
incident, Cook and fellow student Larry Fourmet
decided to develop a Racist Free Zone at Lane.
"It figures," says Cook, "I kinda expected it
because of the society we live in right here in
Eugene, Oregon.
"As soon as someone of color makes themselves
known, things like this happen; the slime comes out
of the woodwork."
Cook is no stranger to the concept of living in a
racist free society. Back in 1984 his mom, Bahati
Ansari, and other parents got together to form a a
racist free zone in Jefferson Middle School in Eugene.
There are now Racist Free Zones nationwide, all led
by Ansari.
Fourmet says the key to equality is to "unlearn
racism."

This stone replica of Albert Einstein located at the UO reminds us of the man's past accomplishments,
but his words are timeless.
"It is essential that the student acquire an understanding of and a lively feeling for values. He must
acquire a vivid sense of the beautiful and the morally good. Otherwise he -- with his specialized knowledge -- more closely resembles a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person." --Albert
Einstein

For the second straight year, two local service clubs
have targeted the Florence area literacy program to
receive assistance.
The Florence Soroptimists and Rotary Club have
again each donated $500 to the Florence Council on
Literacy. The council, while remaining independent,
uses LCC staff, facilities, and materials. It currently
assists 22 students with the aid of 17 tutors.
Niki Shelp, coordinator of the Florence campus
Adult Basic and Secondary Education program says,
"We're very lucky to have broad support for the program and people willing to become involved."
The literacy council will use the money to help tutors
learn the Laubach method of teaching reading, host
workshops, provide instructor lodging for visiting guest
instructors, and supply materials.
The Laubach method, a one-on-one tutor intensive
program, begins with basic decoding skills and phonetics. At about the fourth grade level, students then switch
to a series which involves learning reading comprehension. A broad, basic program, it takes the student
from non-reading level to the high school level.
"We hope to reach everyone who needs reading
skills," Shelp says. She says she would like to expand
the program to include students in the English as a
Second Language program. ''The Soroptimists and
Rotary have been very helpful."
Ken Miller, Florence Rotary Club liaison to the
group, says "We try to reach as many people as we can,
but it's difficult to get our message (about literacy
training) to people who don 'tread. We rely on word-ofmouth and radio ads."
Marti Free, Florence Literacy Council President,
says that a local telephone crisis line generates the most
interest in the program.
"Right now," Shelp says, "We need more students.
But people are reluctant to admit thex can't read. We
want_them to know help is available.';

Payment history not necessity when seeking credit

Torch Associate-Editor
Editor's note: This is the first

the positive and negative worlds
of credit in the region.
The cold war is over.
Between creditors and consumers, that is.
In the past, people with limited

limited earning abilities may have
found it hard to establish personal
credit. Some people don't bother
to apply for credit because they
assume they will be turned down.
But many banks and finance
companies are opening their doors
to these people, and establishing
credit can now actually be easy.
Roberta DuBois of Consumer
Credit Counseling Service says
that people who have held a job
for at least two years, who have
lived in the area for two years, and
have established themselves at a
banking institution, have a good
chance of being accepted for
credit.
Another good way to make a

reference, she says, is with a check
guarantee card. A check guarantee enables the cardholder to
"borrow'' small amounts ofmoney
when a check is written that will
overdraw the account, she says.
Students have "an excellent

Counselor Edna Gori at First Interstate bank. The Student Visa
card offers instant credit to students who open a checking account.

STUDENT BUILDERS LEARN
REAL LIFE THROUGH
PLAYGROUND EXPERIENCE
by J.G. KELLY
Torch Staff Writer
Thanks in part to LCC's Construction Technology Program,
students at a Springfield elementary school will soon be realizing
a long term goal.
Construction Technology students are volunteering their labor
to assemble a framework for
manufactured play structure
components that were purchased
through fund raising efforts by
Brattain students and the Parent
Teacher Association. A group of
local civic organizations will pay
the balance of the structure's
cost- for lumber and other materials used for the framework.
Work on the project, designed
by LCC Technical Drafting major Mike Garretson, began over
the winter holidays and will be
finished by the beginning of spring
term.
The Brattain students and PTA
raised approximately $4,000 to

buy the manufactured components- plastic slides, climbers and
crawl-tubes. Garretson estimates
the value of LCC's volunteer labor commitment at$1,000- l ,500.
The structure is an example of
the types of community service
projects the Industrial Technology
program undertakes each year,
which enable construction students the opportunity to learn in a
"hands-on" environment. 'That's
the way it should be," says Carl
Horstrup, Industrial Technology
chairman.
Such projects familiarize students with the "' Real World'
timing of events, weather,etc... ,"
says Horstrup.

"Sarge" and Dan Antram, students in LCC's Construction Tech program, work on a project
at Brattin Elementary school in Springfield.

Ben Taylor, an LCC student
and parent of a child attending
BrattainSchool, initiated the threeyeareffort. Brattain teacher Sandra
Luks, and Principal Pat Bedore

Bedore says her students have
worked hard raising funds, and
that their anticipation is growing
daily.
''They have waited three years.
They would still be waiting, if it
wasn't for LCC," she says. ''The

Lap-a-thon raises funds
to benefit Womenspace
by SONJA TAYLOR
Torch Staff Writer

"Three to four million women are battered
each year in the United States," says the handout promoting the Feb. 29 Lap-a-thon, held
each year to raise money for the Womenspace
shelter for battered women and children.
Pearl Wolfe, coordinator for the 13th Lapa-thon, says that Womenspace hopes to raise
at least $10,000 in pledge money. Sponsors
will pledge a flat donation or a specific amount
for each lap a participant swims, runs, or
walks.
Although the Lap-a-thon officially takes
place on Feb. 29. Wolfe says people may also
participate during the week preceding. "It's
really something that you can do in your spare
time," she says.
"You gather money pretty quickly just by
calling the people you know," says Wolfe.
"Last year one women raised $1,100 and another raised $900," she says.
"It's a really nice way to spread the word
about Womenspace. It's one small way that
people can give their support to something
that's really important."
Sue Thompson, an instructor at LCC, has
been a member of the Board of Directors for

Womenspace for 5 1/2 years and a volunteer
for the last six years working in the children's
program. Thompson will be running and walking in the Lap-a-thon.
Thompson says, "I think Womenspace plays
an incredible role in our community and fills
and important need. As a volunteer there I've
seenfirst-hand thepositivechanges Womenspance
makes in the lives of women and children.
"Most ofus have been touched by domestic
violence either in our own families or we know
someone whose life has been touched by it."
Wolfe says that fundraisers, such as the
Lap-a-thon have helped Womenspace to expand it's program. According to her, some of
the additions are a toll free phone number and
literature published about the program.
"When the program first began it was only
swimming," says Wolfe, "then four years ago
we added walking and running so that more
people could get involved.
"We rely heavily on community support.
Fourty-nine percent of our funding comes from
individuai donations and fundraising such as
the Lap-a-thon."
Registration forms can be picked up at
Delegato's Athletics, Eugene Athletic, Feets
Plus, The Nike Store, and at several area pools.

Censorship has no place in college arena
A printed flier, Some Facts about Blacks, which
appeared on the LCC main campus last week, is
causing a wave of disgust and calls for censorship.
But most importantly, the content of the flier has
become a positive rallying call for increased awareness regarding the pervasive racism so prevalent in
this "hub of diversity" known as Eugene.
The flier, copied and distributed around the campus
by shocked students "who can't believe" something
of this nature is floating around Lane, blames blacks
for everything from crime, to AIDS, to the strained
welfare system. The flier also refers to blacks as the
"affirmative action apes" and admonishes whites to
"not descend to the level of blacks."
While the majority of students atLCC (hopefully)
do not tolerate the racist nature of such literature, the
National Socialist Front, whose name and Portland
mailing address appear at the bottom of the flier, has
the constitutional right to publish and distribute such
essays.
The basic premise of the First Amendment guarantees both freedom of expression and of the press.
At the risk of sounding "politically correct," a
label we here at the Torch loathe, it's a good sign that
students agree the content of the flier is extremely
objectionable, and are also questioning the propriety
of such twisted hate literature on this campus.
But when some students asked why this flier was

allowed, alarm bells rang in every corner of our minds.
A very nasty word, especially for student journalists,
came to mind. Censorship: The big C.
A college should be a bastion for the exchange and
expression of ideas. If people believe blacks, whites,
Jews, etc. are inferior or superior, let them come forward
and express themselves in a public forum.
Recent attempts to prohibit racist speech on college
campuses around the country by the shallow and misinformed politically correct crowd has, at times, resulted in
outright censorship of legal, legitimate ideas.
The issue isn't whether or not students, faculty, or staff
agree with certain forms of expression. College "hate
speech" guidelines are often over-broad and encompass
nearly anything considered to be a slur towards a minority
or ethnic group.
The problem with such legislation comes when the
institution must ask, Who will be the censor? And what
exactly is "right" and "wrong?" Could college administrators establish criteria by endorsing fads or the hip
mind-set of the day? Would a scenario develop in which
the use of the word "black" instead of" African-American"
could be considered racist?
Where do we draw the line?
Because there are so many variables to even the most
narrowly tailored hate speech rules, some forms of censorship will in fact take place no matter how noble the
intentions. The best bet and only acceptable solution is a

policy forbidding censorship itself. This excludes, of
course, the "fighting words doctrine" established by
the Supreme Court whereby the government can
censor material or speech if it incites or is intended to
incite violence.
The Torch wishes to commend LCC as an institution where unconstitutional hate speech regulations are not promoted.
Barbara Delansky, Student Activities director,
also deserves kudos. It is through her office that all
material to be posted on campus receives approval.
She instructed student government officials to remove
the fliers posted at locations around campus because
they had not gone through her office or the proper
channels. Had the person(s) responsible for the
material came through Student Activities, the fliers
would have been left alone, untouched and
uncensored.
And finally, to the person(s) who distributed these
fliers: If you and your group really believe the subject
matter on the fliers, why are you afraid to go through
the legitimate channels -- leaving a local name and
phone number as a contact? Are you ashamed of the
ignorance you publish? Is your conviction so weak
and fragile that you fear identification?
If you answer yes to any of the above questions,
then crawl back under your rock with the rest of the
worms that have no backbone.

Former senator reveals discontent over current leaders
ASLCC members urged to
improve on communication

members were present to perform official business.
ASLCC rarely delayed its sessions. If there was a need
for an executive session, time limits were observed for the
benefit of the Torch, other organizations, and students.
The ASLCC ran its meetings according to parliamentary procedure. The
formal meeting format kept each meeting "bullshit free"
and to the point.
I remember the
healthy arguments
senators would pick
with President
Michael Ommogrosso. They were dedicated to their causes,
with or without the president's approval.
I especially remember the coverage ASLCC received
in the Torch. Good or bad, ASLCC had its meetings

It was just over one year ago that I was recruited to
become a senator for the student government.
I was leery about the time it
wouldrequire, bull was impressed
with the ASLCC's formal Monday afternoon meetings, and the
fact that most of the members
were willing to schedule classes
around these sessions. With
meetings every Monday, the student representatives could get a
good look at the upcoming week and determine what they
wished to accomplish. I was impressed that each of the
members of ASLCC was a stickler for being on time. They
always met quorum requirements - over half of the

covered each week by the newspaper. Some ASLCC
members got angry at the paper, as any government
organization does when the press finds a tear in the armor,
but it was honest coverage all the same.
Don't get me wrong. We weren't perfect. In fact, 198990 must have been the best year ever. Andy Harris, the
president, made it a point to live, breath, and sleep student
government That year, organization seemed to keep the
members on their toes.
This year, I see a different ASLCC.
I see a dwindling group.
It is no longer the friendly team it once was.
Last December, for example, ASLCC members were
reluctant to pose together in a group photo for a Torch
advertisement.
"We just don't like each other," said one of the members.

Canine cacoph ony adds to chaos
On the Right Hemisphere
by CHUKAR BACON
Somebody stop me before I
kill my puppy!
She's outside right now barking at the railroad tracks and the
hazy, glowing sky where the
moon should be. It taunts her,
drives her to torment me, tugs
her tail and makes her yip.
It's making me nuts!
I realize she's only a puppy,
but I've been under a lot of stress
lately and the thought of whacking her with a lead filled bwmy
slipper has crossed my mind.
It's not her fault. Soon the
treacherous mob of inbred murderous hillbillies who live upstairs
will be gone, and I will not need to
kill my puppy.
I hear them up there cleaning
their shotguns in the kitchen,
swilling sour mash and clubbing

golf balls around with a broom.
I wish my puppy would be
quiet.
Banjo music pours forth from
my ceiling. The walls drip with
the spirit of chicken gravy by the
gallons, left on the stove to crust
over and stink under the guise of
leftovers.
"Ifyoudon'tetitupit'lljustgo
to waste," the alcoholic banshee
cackles, and I turn my head to
escape the cloud of noxious vapor
spewing from her toothless head.
"Wassa madder?" says her felonious husband, "Our grub ain't
good 'nuf fer you, city boy?"
My puppy tried to hang herself. It seems like I'm always
afraid the hillbillies will put her in
a stew.
Their son is in prison for
smashing his baby's face with a
pickle jar. I don't leave my room
very often because I think the

violence is genetic. I'm convinced
that if I meet one of them in the
hallway and say the wrong thing,
I'll wind up in a can next to the
Spam in one of their Styrofoam
cooler boxes.
Why can't my puppy understand. I'm scared. I don't need the
added aggravation. She won't stop
barking. Something' s got to give.
The community has a right to
know when crazy people move .
in. But I won't be the one to tell.
What if the hillbillies found out it
was me who exposed them?
The best thing to do as I see it
is to lay low until this all blows
over. I'lljustpretendl'mnothere.
Shutup,dog!
How can I hide if my puppy's
going to bark all the time?
They can't seem to find work
in this area. Most businesses are
afraid to hire them. They were
living in the park and my land-

lord, kind soul that he is, took pity
on them. Their daughter pays the
rent. She didn't get the bad genes.
Since the hillbillies came, two
things have been under construction; fences and gallows. I like
bridges. They like burning them.
Every time I try building a bridge,
they tear it down and build a fence.
If I complain about the fence, oh
they'll take the fence down all
right, and use the lumber to erect
a hanging tower.
The puppy has a rope on her
neck. I feel like the puppy. The
hillbillies are going to hang me
one day if I don't tell somebody.
Maybe the violence is contagious
too.
''That puppy of yom was barking all night," says the wicked
witch, "and I tuck it some food but
it didn't do no good."
"I don't want you to feed my
dog," I said.

"I cain' t sleep with that there
dog raising hail like that," says the
mountain hag.
"She's a puppy," I said,
"Sometimes puppies bark. What
about you? I can't read while
you're screaming at the top of
your lungs about some fatal accident that happened years ago."
"Shet up! What do you know
about anything? You don't know
nothing!"
"Nice grammar."
"Smart ass city boy, don't
know nothing anout nothing."
"I know one thing. You're not
going to find the answer at the
bottom of that jug. I'd make you
some nice chicken soup if I could
find the stove top. I'd build a
bridge if you' dhelp me take down
all these fences."
"I like fences."
"And I love my puppy." I will

"We don't want to intimidate people. We're going to
have a difficult time. People get defensive and the
bottom line is fear."
Woodland agrees. "I don't think a person is born and
they're automatically racist. It's something they're taught.
The parents need to be educated first so they can teach
the children. It's the only way to break the cycle.
"Say to a child: The skin that makes us different is
so thin. If we scratch our skin; we all bleed the same.'
"Racism is a big issue when we have a Martin Luther
King Celebration or when it's Black History Month but
what about the other ten months?, "Woodland asks.

Cook says he has been working towards creating a
Racist Free Zone at LCC since the first day he "walked
in these doors.''
Says Cook: "No one wants to deal with it but I'm
ready to deal with it! I have to. I can't change my skin
color and I wouldn't if I could."

Cook and Fourmet are working together to form a
Racist Free Zone here at Lane. The first meeting for
interested students will be on March 3, followed by one
on March 6. Both meetings are in Center 316 at 11:30.

Homemaker finds success through LCC program
byLYNNREA

Torch Entertainment Editor
It's 7 a.m. on a cold February
morning. But inside the kitchen of
the Eugene Hilton Hotel the air is
warm and fragrant with the aroma
of muffins and croissants.
Dressedinherwhitecoat, stove
pipe hat and checkered pants,
Carole Howard began preparing
the breads at 6 a.m. in an attempt
to stay ahead of the demand for
her yeasty creations.

"Sometimes there are seven
ovens going at once !" Howard
laughs.
Just six years agoin her early
40s, Howard experienced what
many call "Empty Nest" syndrome, when the last of her four
children moved out. At a friend's
urging she enrolled in LCC 's
Transitions to Success program
for displaced homemakers.
Along with examining her
personal values, interests and
abilities, the program helped her

to create a five-year-plan to success.
"Itchangedeverythingforme.
It put me in focus," says Howard
"Sometimes you never know
what's inside."
She recognized that she had
always been interested in cooking
and soon enrolled in LCC 's Culinary Arts baking program, calling
it an "invaluable experience"
which taught her the technical
part of the baking process and
gave her plenty of experience and
confidence.
After completing the one semester baking course, Howard
sold most of her belongings,
packed the rest in her car, and
headed for Arizona where she
planned on landing a job or apprenticeship at the five-star
Biltmore Hotel. But the Biltmore
had no need of her services. She
had to wait.
Undaunted, Howard found a
job at a lesser-ranked restaurant,
and bided her time.
When the Biltmore did call,
Howardquither job the same day
and began her apprenticeship in
the famous kitchen learning
"Gardemanger."
"Gardemanger" uses foods as

graceful swans, and making
playful mice from radishs.

At a recent convention of the
Dairymen's Association, one
representative asked her to "make
a cow out of a cookie," which
Howard agreed to try. She and
her staff ended up making six
dozen, which made a hit with the
convention goers.
Hers is not a job for somebody
easily stressed. Everyday is different. In addition to her regular
baking duties, she might be called
upon to supply baked goods for a
lunch banquet of 300, followed
by dinner for up to 700.
"Whenever there is anything
going on, I'm there. I like the
challenge. I like the surprises."
She also bakes tempting desserts such as French Silk, Mousse
Cake, and cream puffs. Howard
says she tastes "everything" but
admits she somtimes gets "really
sick of chocolate."
Last month she was selected
out of 240 employees as "employee of the year," for which she
received a plaque and a check for
$250. Howard describes the award
as "a great honor."
Her goal is to become "the
absolute best pastry chef in Eugene."

"MTV video-like" simulated backgrounds, a wide

by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Managing Editor
Fly like supennan over a city of lights, sing in
your very own rock band, hula in Hawaii, skin dive
while surrounded by hungry sharks . . . it's all
possible Monday, Feb. 24, and free to LCC students.
With the aid of computer advancement, a group
called Fun Flicks travels the country making videos,
with students as the stars.
Fun Flicks plans to set up its live, professional,
mobile video recording studio in the centerofLCC's
cafeteria. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. students can
participate by donning a costumes (provided by
funflicks), singing, lip-syncing, dancing, talking, or
just standing stark still. Fun Flicks will do the rest.
According to Steve Bauers, ASLCC cultural
director and organizer of the program, Fun Flicks
adds special effects to each person's perfonnance
through a simulated background.
Bauers says Fun Flicks has over 8,000 different

variety of costumes, and hundreds of songs which,
all together, offer over 85,(XX) possible special effects.
ASLCC is under a contract with Fun Flicks
which requires them to pay a fee. This allows the
activity to be free for all students, and each group
will get a free copy of their video. Additional videos
will be $7 each.
Each year, Fun Flicks travels to thousands of
colleges and universities around the country, says
. Bauers.
"We've had them here twice," says Laura
Sraunmeyer, a student at Louisiana College. "In
fact, once they came on a Saturday and over 200
people showed up. It's really fun."
Roger Dunlap, assistant dean of Student Activities at Southern Arkansas University says, "Fun
Flicks was absolutely awesome. Our students had a
great time making videos all day long and the
audience had a blast watching some of the crazy
things that were done."

How can members of the student body be comfortable
communicating with a student government that has trouble
communicating with each other?
I see today an unorganized group.
ASLCC meetings are held on Thursday afternoons to accommodate the group's schedules. With the late date, the Torch is
unable to cover its sessions due to its own deadlines and students
are unable to foresee the week ahead because most of the week
is over.
I see important members arriving to the pre-scheduled meetings
10-20 minutes late and quorum being questioned.
I was also disappointed, after attending a couple of their
meetings, of their change in the traditional "parly pro" meetings.
Not that change is bad, but the new consensus or Robert's Rule
of order format gives the small group too much room to goof off.
Ifound a lack of decorum during the weekly reports as members
interrupted each other,jokingly started petty fights, and reported
subjects at the wrong time or out of tum.
Already, over four people have resigned after the first term to
follow a new path.
As an editor for the Torch, I wish I saw more of the ASLCC
president, Ernie Woodland. I have to say, I see more of new
cultural director Steve Bauers than I do of the "Main Man." I
guess, after what I have seen from past presidents, I expect a lot
of each president.
I hope ASLCC can take this constructive criticism to heart
and look to change. Already this tenn, I have noticed a few
positive improvements. Bauers has worked hard to reach students
through bands and cultural events and new senators seem eager
and have offered positive solutions to a few campus problems.
But ASLCC must work as a team. One or two individuals
can't hold a group together.

Recycle__co_n_tin_u_e_d.fr_o_m_pa_g_e_I_ _ _ _ _ _ _ __,..:...._ _ _ _ __
mandated contracting an outside
agent, the college will no longer
reap the benefits ofhis volunteered
time and resources, and will now
have to pay for those services.
"We 're now basically paying
Weyerhaeuser to conduct the program," Colvin said.
In addition, Dieringer said he
considered bidding on the project
as an outside agent, but backed out
after calculating what he could
reasonably·charge the college for
his services.
"There was no way I could
have
come
in
under
Weyerhaeuser' s bid,"he said. 'Toe

price and demand for paper are too
low for me to be able to compete."
Under the new program,
Weyerhaeuser employees along
with learning disabled students
from the 4J school district and the
LCC shelter workshop will pick
up the materials, sort and bail them
for storage, and later shipment to
various mills for recycling.
Weyerhaeuser plant manager
Pamela Sommerville said the new
program will involve less sorting
at the bins, as the material will be
divided into only two categories - office mix and other mix.
The office mix, consisting of
colored paper, bleached paper,

stamps, envelopes, fax paper and a
variety of other office materials,
will be sent to the James River
Mill in Halsey to make tissue
products.
Other non-bleached fibers, includingnewspaper, magazines and
packaging, will be shipped to
Toledo for use in cardboard
products.
As for the level of campus acceptance and participation in the
new program, all agree that time
will tell.
"We still need a little more
time to see how things go,"Colvin
said. "I haven't seen any problems
yet."

It's time to reach out to students and give them reasons for
paying their yearly student government fees. I challenge ASLCC
to find the links, put them together, and use them to pull their
group out of the mud and into the limelight.

Titan head coach Jim Boutin is a happy man these days.
After back to back victories against Northwest Athletic Association
of Community Colleges (NWAACC) foes Portland CC, 114-82, on
Feb. 15 and Linn-Benton CC, 104-77, on Feb. 19., Coach Boutin has
reasons to smile.
Two reasons: offense and defense.
"Our defense has played pretty consistently throughout the year, but
our offense has really kicked into gear over the last few games," said
Coach Boutin. "We 're playing pretty well as a team right now."
In the Feb. 15 game against Portland CC, the host Titans walloped
the visitors 114-82.
Mike Neves and Jim Snyder both hit a pair of three-point buckets
early in the game to get the Titans off to a quick 29-11 lead.
After leading 61-34 at the half, the Titans ran up the lead to as many
as 36 points, while preventing Portland from mustering any kind of a
comeback.
Curt Broadsword led the Titan scoring with 21 points.

Ron Richards discusses strategy with head coach Dave Loos in
game against LBCC.

by ROBERT CATALANO
Torch Sports Editor
Ron Richards has dedicated
his life to coaching basketball and
helping kids . .
When he's not on the bench in
his capacity as an assistant coach
with the LCC women's basketball
team, he's working with "at risk"
students and kids with drug
problems at Springfield High
School.
He's been successful at both

MEN

avocations.
As a women's assistant coach,
he's been involved with state
championship teams at the high
school level in Oregon and Idaho.
He's also worked as an intern
for the Washington State women's
basketball program, as well as
coaching with the Titans for the
past three years.
"I feel like rm one of the
luckiest guys alive to have worked
with so many great coaches," says
Richards. "Some were good at
strategy and some were great with

continued from page 8

Repeating the strategy from
the Portland game, the Titans hit
seven consecutive three-pointers,
four by Jim Snyder and three by
Boutin, early in the game and then
added a dose of good defense to
defeat LBCC 105-77.
The Titans jumped off to an
early26-11 leadonlytoseeLBCC
answer with seven points of their
own to close the gap to 26-18
midway through the first half.
The teams then traded baskets
until Boutin hit a pair of shots to
make the score 40-29 with just
under five minutes to go to the
intermission.
The Titans , who led 53-40 at
halftime, started the second half
with a 13-7 run, giving them a
twenty point lead, 70-50, with
12:58 left in the game.
Shortly after LBCC narrowed
the gap to 77-62, the Titan defense took over and forced LBCC
into a number of turnovers.
The Titans didn't miss many
opportunities to make LBCC pay
for its mistakes.
With GeoffRasmussen leading

the way with a dunk and a threepointer, the Titans outscored the
Roadrunners 27-15 over the last
ten minutes of the game to ice the
win.
Boutin led all scorers with 30
points.
The Titans, who are now 22-3
overall and 11-2in the NWAACC,
got 19 points from Jim Snyder,
ten assists from Rasmussen, ten
rebounds and 13 points from Sam
Thompson, and ten points from
Broadsword.
As a result of their victory,
coupled with Chemeketa's win
over Clackamas on Feb. 19, the
Titans remain tied for first in the
Southern Division of the
NWAACC.
If both LCC and Clackamas
win their games on Feb. 22, they
will meet Feb. 24 in a tiebreaker
game at Western Oregon State
College in Monmouth, to see who
gets the No. 1seed in the Regional
Tournament.
The Titans play their last conference game at home against Mt.
Hood CC on Feb. 22.

people. I feel I've learned a little
bit from each of them."
Richards, who graduated from
Washington State University in
1983, feels he was fortunate to
have had George Raveling (for, merly the men's coach at WSU
and now the head coach at the
University of Southem California)
as a role model while he was in
college.
"He's been a great inspiration
to me and I have to say he's positively affected my life more than
anyone I've ever known/' says
Richards.
Richards is now passing on
some of the things he's learned
from Coach Raveling to the "at
risk" kids he works with in
Springfield.
"I wasn't a perfect kid," explains Richards. "But I had a lot of
good role models to look up to,

WOMEN

and I had the will to succeed.
Most of these kids feel like they 're
the Lone Ranger, but they 're not.
I teach them it's important just to
be able to get over life's hurdles
and take each one as it comes
without getting discouraged at
how many there are."
Overcoming hurdles is second
nature to Richards.
The youngest of ten children,

"I was raised by my older
brothers and sisters, as well as

Richards. "But coping with all the

realize just how short life is."
Richards also spends most of
his summers coaching and
teaching kids in basketball camps

In the Feb. 15, Northwest Athletic Association of

against Portland CC, the Titans demolished their
opponents 115-36 despite the absence of Coach
Dave Loos.
Loos, who watched the game from the sidelines
because his wife is close to giving birth to their third
child, handed over the coaching reins to assistants
Kelli Stonelake and Ron Richards for the evening.
They had the Titans running from the start.

Saxophonist seeks all that's jazz
Former student to study in New York City

Artist's diverse talent
takes many forms
by SHEA HARDY
Torch Staff Writer

With help from a $2000 grant from the NEA, Saxophonist Enrique Rios will spend two weeks
in the "big apple" studying jazz composition.
byLYNNREA

Torch Entertainment Editor
Several years ago saxophonist Enrique Rios
came to the U.S. with a burning desire to study
jazz music.
Now, 10 years later, the former LCC student
continues to pursue that goal - and than some.
Rios has just been awarded a $2,000 grant
from The National Endowment for the Arts to
study jazz composition at the Eastman School of
Music in Rochester N.Y., where he will spend

three weeks in intensive private lessons.
"I am excited to be going," Rios said during a
recent telephone interview.
As evidence of Rios' musical diversity, he
adds his talent to two popular local bands,
"Caliente," and "Sandunga."
Caliente plays salsa music in local clubs and
recently recorded its first CD for release in March,
entitled "Voces Morenas," or "Dark Voices."
Sandunga, plays folkloric Latin music at festivals such as The Williamette Folk Festival. The
Turn to Jazz, page 11

The Associated Students of Lane Community College will sponsor
an art exhibit starting Feb.24 which will feature former LCC art
instructor, John Haugse.
Hauges is known for his film making, but is hopeful that he can
become known once again as a painter.
Living in Portland for the last three years has inspired him to create
a new content in his work, now consisting of physical structures of a
city -- such as buildings, bridges, overpasses, and other structures -that surround the Portland environment.
"One of the reasons I enjoy painting physical structures is the sharp
and defined edges of the buildings," says Haugse. "I want people. to
focus on the surrounding space of my paintings -- figures are rarely
included."
Haugse also likes to include various colors into his paintings.
"Although the city is usually not considered to have colorful structures,
the surrounding water of Portland gives me a chance to incorporate my
love of painting water and also the opportunity to include the colors of
water."
He acquired fame in film and won several awards, including the
C.I.N .E Gold Eagle Award. Haugse has performed for the Children's
Television Network.
"Manyofmyrecentpaintingshavebeeneffectedbymyinvolvment
in animated films," says Haugse.
Haugse has been in the art field for the last 32 years, but says he has
been in love with painting for as long as he can remember. He started
out at the San Francisco Art Institute with a bachelor's degree in
painting and drawing and acquired his master's degree from the
University of Oregon. During his college years, Haugse exhibited in
many galleries throughout the West Coast region.
Haugse's work is displayed in galleries both in Salishan Oregon, and
in Woodstock, Vermont.
The exhibit will begin Feb. 24 with a slide lecture and some of the
artist's films, 1 p.m. in the LCC Art Gallery. Following the lecture a
public reception will be held at 2:30p.m.. The exhibit will continue
through March 13. Gallery hours are Monday - Thursday 8 a.m.-10
p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

'Slacker' tells it like it is
by AARON JAMISON
Torch Staff Writer
"Why in the hell would I want
to see that?"
Never before, excluding "Bill
and Ted's Excellent Adventure"
and "Truth or Dare," has there
been a movie made entirely about
people who have absolutely no
life. And never before has it
worked so well. "Slacker" is
playing at the Bijou Art Cinemas
for one more week.
"Slacker," a film written, produced and directed by Richard
Linkletter, runs from boring life
to boring life. It begins with a man
who "should've stayed at the bus
station," and ends with the "guy
who throws camera off cliff." The
word plot can't be used- "Slacker"
doesn'treallyhaveone. "Slacker"
seems to be completely about
people avoiding their work and
responsibility, but the movie does
ask the question, "Is there always
a point?"
This movie is fascinating.
The lives of the characters flow
together so well that, sometimes,
the viewer forgets that they are
acting.
Fascinating, however, is not

wherethismoviestops. "Slacker"
is funny.
In one scene a man is annoyed
by a young lady ("traumatized
yacht owner") in a coffee shop.
She talks to herself and to other
people, as well as the objects
around her. She looks at him and
says, "You shouldn't traumatize
women sexually. I should know,
I'm a medical doctor."
She leaves him alone for a
while, but eventually he looks up
at her out of curiosity, and she
says again, "You shouldn't traumatize women sexually. I should
know, I'm a medical doctor. I own
a mansion and a yacht." It immediately triggers the thought, "I am
Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire, I own
a mansion and a yacht," from that
classic Bugs Bunny cartoon where
Elmer goes nuts.
With only a few bad points,
"Slacker" is a great film. It's not
just about people who avoid work
and responsibility, it's also about
the way life is. There are points in
everyone's life when they have no
life. If we can just look at the
funny side of those situations, then
we can get on with our lives.
The Bijou Art Cinemas is located on 13th Street in Eugene.

Rios' musical career began at the age of 13 when his
father bought him his first saxophone. He studied at the
Conservatory of Music in Mexico City. After five years in
Los Angeles, he ended up in Eugene.
