: Februa~y 28, 1992 Eugene, Oregon Aviation programs move, expand • Vol. 27 No. 19 Tlf:an men go to tourney women lose in playoffs by ROBERT CATALANO Torch Spons Editor I. The LCC Aviation Department will move from the main campus to a three-acre piece of property at the Eugene airport in 1993. The Return to Service Program will move from the Creswell Airport Eugene Airport offers lease-free sffe for LCC programs by BRIAN BLOCH Torch Staff Writer In the midst of a nation-wide recession, industry growth and job opportunities are at a low in Oregon. Except in the field of aerospace technology. LCC administrators, responding to what they call a "soaring state and national demand for skilled aerospace labor," are planning a $1.1 million seivice hangar at the Eugene Airport to house an expanded aviation maintenance program in the summer or fall of 1993. When completed and outfitted, the facility will cost between $3 million and $4.3 million. Ted Kotsakis, Mechanics Department chair, says the hangar will house more modem jet engines and avionics equipment, allowing the aviation maintenance program to double the number of students it can train yearly. "The facility will allow us to greatly upgrade our technology," Kotsakis says. The college also plans to include on-site facilities to train ground and cargo personnel, ticket agents and air traffic controllers, according to a news release issued by the school's Institutional Advancement Office. Campus Services Director Paul Colvin says the college will provide the initial $1.1 million from tax base replacement funds allocated by the state legislature last fall. Other state and private sources will balance the cost, perhaps through bond measures, development funds or business partnerships with the maintenance program. "Until we know exactly what the costs will be, we 're not sure which specific (funding) avenues to take," Kotsakis says. According to the news release, the industry's growth is coming at the same time that skilled aviation technicians are retiring, and existing aircraft are aging. The equation means a high demand for trained technicians on a national level. Industry officials project an estimated 70,000 jobs nation-wide over the next 10 years, according to the release.

She says the WBEA winners usually come from four year schools where instructors generally have more time to be visible in professional organizations. But she says she likes teaching at the community ~liege level.

It awards 40 percent for publications, professional memberships, contributions to the college, to the community, and to cultural and charitable organizations. Ryan has served on several advisory boards and committees in the community. She has published textbooks in the areas of personal finance, accounting, and professional development. And she is no stranger to winning awards. LCC named her Instructor of The Year in 1990. In 1991, she won the Oregon Business Education award for Post-Secondary "The ramifications are a 30 percent increase in jobs in the field," Kotsakis says. "LCC and Portland Community College can't currently meet those demands." Joan Ryan, an LCC business instructor, was surprised at winning the Post-Secondary Educator of the year award. Theaward is usually given to instructors at four year colleges and universities. Teacher of The Year. The WBEA award stems from competition of instructors in 13 states and two provinces. Ryan will now be considered for the award at the national level, which will be decided in February of 1993. maintenance The program will move its service hangar facilities from the current location at the Creswell Airport to a lease-free, three acre site west of the Flight Craft building at the Eugene Airport. The new 65,000 to 95,000 square foot structure will contain enough space to LCC's Native American StudentAssociation (NASA) says the college should do more to help the native American population at Lane to expand the community's understanding of native cultures. On its list of goals is a permanent meeting room on campus, clearer financial aid processes for Native Americans, and a permanent Indian Adviser on campus. To assist in making these goals a reality, NASA invited the Oregon Indian Coalition on Higher Education (OICHE) to LCC Friday, Feb. 21, to speak to student members and to Lane staff about student needs at LCC. "We work hand-in-hand with all kinds of students," says Morrie Jiminez, OICHE chairman. He says OICHE gets involved with groups when the situation will be "mutually beneficial" and cooperative in nature. OICHE is a traveling organization made up of Native Americans which, according ~oJiminez, promotes the belief that "education is a gift." While the group speaks for higher education, Jiminez says it focuses primarily on Native Americans because their needs were not being met He says the group works with colleges in Oregon to assist NativeAmericanstudentswithproblems that confront them in obtaining a higher education. Peter Simons, NASA secretary, says that the college does not offereducationalopportunitiesto learn aboutNative Americans. He would like to work with OICHE to promote programs that will educate people about Native Americans. "With knowledge, comes respect," says Simons. Joe Kirk, Education Director of the Klamath Indian Tribe, says that when natives hear a college has a reputation for not being "nurturing" to their race, the Native American population dwindles at that school. "Why do Indians need special things? Because we have special needs," he says. Some of NASA's short-term goals include: • An individual meeting place would promote a sense of tribal unity among Native American students, says NASA President Jocko Vechein. It would lay a foundationforfuturestudentswho may express an interest in attending LCC. • Opening the lines of communication between students and the financial aid office would make it easier for Native Americans to obtain aid to either continue in school, or begin a college career • A full-time Indian Adviser ~ B of Eusene Free Plepancy Teatlal 'We Care" could spend time recruiting Native Americans, and would be able to work with students intent on continuing education. NASA also has long-range goals, which include: • Setting up a program to sponsor guest speakers to lead seminars, as well as to arrange workshops dealing with issues facing Native Americans today. • Working with the Tribal Coalition, Title 5, and Affirmative Action programs to develop educational and financial aid assistance programs at Lane. • Hiring of Native American educators to teach courses and educate people about native cultures. :ASLCC CAMPUS CALENDA ~ Friday, Feb. 28th Essex Hemphill speaks in Forum 308 at 2:30 Monday, March 2nd Ospirg Energy Fair "In and around the cafeteria" Come check it out 10-2 I Racial Awareness Meeting Center 316 11 :30-1 :30 Good Life Club Meeting 2:00 N.W. comer of Cafeterial I I I Wednesday, March 4th Native American Drum for Noon Music in the Cafeterial I Native American Student Association meets from 2-3 : I In Math and Art 240 Every Wednesday tlizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and 5url Ives in College Republican meeting.

C. to haggle with congressional delegates over re-authorization of the Higher Education Act. Their primary mission is to secure adequate funding for the nation's beleaguered colleges and universities. With secondary institutions nationwide imposing enrollment restrictions in an effort to cushion recessionary operating cutbacks, not to mention the amputation of entire accredited and functioning programs, an overhaul of the entire federal and state education funding program is being called for by those on the left and on the right of the JX)litical spectrum. Though each side has its own proposals, both agree revolutionary changes are in order. Some proposals on the slate include increased maximum Pell Grant awards, eliminating student loans through banks-- the government would make the loans directly-- and increasing financial aid stipends in the fonn of grants rather than loans. • The proposed increase in maximum grant awards, from $2,400 to $4,500 is a realistic attempt recognize the higher living costs students of the present day. But simply giving more money to students already receiving grants misses the mark. Whynotmakegrants available to more students in that blistering wasteland known as the middle class? Many students are unable to obtain grants because they are not "poor enough." Many, forone reason or another, only receive aid in the fonn of loans -- mostly a middle class phenomena. • The trend of the wheeling-n-dealing Reagan era was to give students more aid in the fonn of loans rather than grants, which students do not have to repay. In the last two years, the country has seen a slight increase in grants with a marginal decrease in loans. Still, the federalgovernmenthaslittletodowiththisturnaround. The additional monies used for grants are coming from already overburdened states and the institutions themselves, no thanks to the "Education President." • Next, the House of Representatives is proposing taking the middle man -- the banker -- out of the student loan program -- at an estimated savings of over $1 billionperyear.Proponentssaythisadditionalrevenue could then be turned back into the system, thus giving • more to the students. • But the banks are equipped to deal with the bureaucracy and paper-shuffling inherent in student loan programs. Has Congress thought about the cost of establishing another gigantic bureaucracy to take the · place of banks? The estimated $1 billion in "savings" would not go to students, but to salaries and operating costs for yet another governmental sub-agency. And think about this: With the current conditions of the U.S. bankingindustry,itishighlyunlikelythatBush and his congressional colleagues would dare cut a program with guaranteed profitability. Rather, the administration proposes an increase in grant awards and a decrease in loans. This looks great on the surface, but closer examination should make one wonder where this added revenue would come from. The fact is, the proJX)sed increase in the Pell Grant program comes at the expense of other college aid programs such as Work-Study, Perkins Loans, and Supplemental Educational OpJX)rtunity grants. A decrease of more than 25 percent for Work Study and nearly 40 percent for opportunity grants looms in the future. At the same time, the administration is beating the education war drums, asking for a 25 percentfunding increase for Guaranteed Student Loans. Sounds like George and the boys are stealing money from Peter to pay Paul. Americans n~d to re-evaluate national priorities. We must put education first. The cold war is over, so why not re-allocate military funds to education? Job seekers in the high-tech world of the year 2000 will need some type of JX)St-secondary education, whether academic or vocational. Without the financial ability to attend centers of higher learning, Americans will eventually end up as under-educated and ill-prepared has-beens in an educated and competitive worldwide workforce.

Page4 February 28, 1992 Once again the Torch has unjustly blasted ASLCC with half and non-truths. Managing Editor Kelley Egre in the February 21 edition took a shot "from the hip" and obviously didn't use her eyes or mind befon;l\'fiting her article. In Egre's editorial she compares this year's senate with last year's, which she was a part of. I don't know much about last year's senate not having being a part of it, but I do know that only four of the 90-91 senate showed up to break in the 91-92 senate at the retreat that is planned each spring just after school lets out. Ms. Egre was not in attendance at the retreat. Over the last month and a half ASLCC has tried to improve relations with the Torch. With myself filling the vacated cultural director's SJX)t, Shane Rhodes in the communications director's position, the existing staff of ASLCC, and several new senators that have recently come on board, we have become a very efficient organization. Torch editor Joe Harwood has mentioned this fact to me himself. This year ASLCC is a very diverse group that represents the wide spectrum of students that we speak for here at Lane. We work well together. We don't always agree with each other, but we are learning from each other and get our work done in a timely manner. We are working hard to become more visible to the student body and our community alike. In her editorial Egre makes specific accusations about our organization, and I would like to address each of them. Egre mentioned that she dislikes our meetings being held on Thursday afternoons. She felt the Monday meeting they used last year is better because "representatives could get a good look at the The Torch upcoming week and determine what they wish to accomplish." By having our meetings on Thursdays we are able to plan even further in advance for the coming week's activities. Also, we have three extra days to deal with any changes thatinight arise. From Egre 's remarks it sounds as though the Torch wants us to plan our meetings around their schedule. Egre also commented on members showing up "10 to 20 minutes late" for the senate meetings. How can she truthfully make such a statement when she has only been to three of our meetings (I went back through the minutes of our past meetings in which attendance is recorded). Two of the meetings she attended were way back in October. Also, we have never even been close to not having quorum as she has suggested. Staff attendance at our meetings has always been good. Egre's lack of homework on this editorial is also apparent when she refers to Robert's Rules as anothernameforconsensus, when in fact it's another name for parliamentary procedure which she praises in her editorial. President Woodland had each of us read extensively on both ways of running a meeting. He also arranged for a Party Pro Workshop at LCC that community colleges from across the state attended. As a group ASLCC choose to use the governing system of consensus because it gives each of us, and the student body, an open forum in which we can more freely address the issues before us. The issue was brought up that four of our people have resigned from this year's senate. It's a well known fact that all student gov emments have large turnover rates. I spoke with last year's Student Body President Michael Omogrosso about resignations within his administration. He said there were at least 5 or 6. Egre made comments to the 1fact that she would like to see 'more of our President Ernie Woodland in tl1eTorch office. We as the student body are lucky to have such a hard working student body president! Woodland represents ALL community colleges in the U.S.A. through his position as Community College Chairperson within USSA (United States Student Association) bringing a lot Aclout to ASLCC and Lane. He attends many meetings here on campus to make sure the student views are heard. At ASLCC's February 6 meeting we discussed the Torch and their one sided reporting. In attendance were Editor Joe Harwood and Egre. Here is the last sentence from ASLCC's minutes about the conversation that had taken place. "Ernie and Joe agreed that they both will work harder to keep miscommunications from causing problems between ASLCC and the Torch." Communications Director Shane Rhodes, SRC Director Tony Rice, myself, and others with ASLCC have made an effort to stay in close contac;,t with the Torch to promote the new found cooperation between our organizations. When will the Torch come around to the task of working in cooperation with us as well? LCC's discrimination policy and would like to suggest we remove this tumor. Crude remarks bother student David Walter To the Editor: Lane Community College appears to have a malignant tumor growing from the south side of the Air Tech Building. There is a small group ofpeople there whom I have witnessed on more than one occasion verbally harassing other people, particularly women, when walking to and from class. I am not even sure they are students as I seldom walk past this area without at least experiencing their visual presence. I am a male with long hair and have been recently subjected to this harassment by being derogatorily referred to as a woman in more than one aspect. If I was to approach them I have little doubt it would have resulted in physical violence as I am confident in their ability to fill the shoes of the white trash stereotype.

The funny feeling here is giving non-smokers complete rights to indoor facilities. That doesn't seem like equal rights. Forking out more dough for a special building to smokers is separate and not equal, not to mention excessive and unnecessary. A good spot, however, would be between the Performing Arts Bui°lding and the PE Building. And, smokers might even allow non-smokers inside.

Wayne Cambell, played by Mike Myers~ and Garth Algar, played by Dana Carvey, are two public access cable celebrities from Aroura, Illinois. When "Wayne's World" is picked up by a small television network, it's a dream come true for Wayne and Garth. That is until they are forced into the harsh reality of confonnity. It's a completely "zang" plot. "Wayne's World" is a terrific journey through a never-ending comedic maze. Along the way, Wayne and Garth meet up with rockers Crucial Taunt and metal legend Alice Copper, as well as sing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Now, "that's entertainment" What it isn't, however, is socially redeeming. If there is some sort of moral or lesson in "Wayne's World" it would be to always go for whatever you want in life. Unfortunately, that state of mind tends to backfire on Wayne and Garth most of the time.

Accomplished poet Michael Simon describes his own poetry as romantic, but not in the "smooch-y, kiss-y sense,'' which he says he finds too difficult to write. "It, s romantic in the sense of the attitude, of the position that nature might occupy." For over six years Simon has taught a variety of courses at LCC in the Adult Basic and secondary education program, helping·students earn their high school diplomas. Prior to that, he taught the p and says it helps him to understand the world and his own relationship to it. In addition to being published in several local literary publications such as "Fireweed" and "Denali," Simon has performed his poetry in public.

It's located north of Eugene on I-5. Take State Hwy. 22 east of Salem, then Hwy. 214 for approximately 26 miles. The day use/picnic area at Silver Falls is inviting, with large open fields for frisbee or ballplaying, horseshoe pits, picnic grottos and a large swimming area. complete with a beach-like shore. All of this lies at the foot of 7.8 miles of hiking trails which wind through Silver Creek Canyon. Hearty hikers will savor this excursion,as it carries them deep into the canyon below and past several waterfalls. A unique aspect to this trail is the occasional path which leads hikers behind the waterfall itself for a paradoxical if not spectacular view. Those less ambitious can visit the falls without hiking. And a nature lodge offers photos of all the falls along the trail. Snacks and historical displays can also be found at the lodge. Silver Falls State Park offers solar showers along with its 51 tent sites and 53 electrical sites for trailers under 60 feet in length. Rustic group lodgings with a meeting hall and equestrian camp are only two of the many attractions to be found here. Four miles of equestrian trails are sure to lure enthusiasts of all kinds to this park.

Poet promotes respect for differences and diversity by JASON THOME For the Torch Poet and author Essex Hemphill will present his critically acclaimed work at Lane Community College on Friday, Feb. 28 at 2:30 p.m. in Forum 308. Hemphill, a gay black writer from Philadelphia, has featured his poetry in award winning films such as "Looking for Langston" and ''Tongues Untied." He is also the editor of the best selling anthology "Brother to Brother." Much of Hemphill's work deals with racism and homophobia, but in a wholly different sense than one would normally view the two issues. The invisibility felt by the black and gay communities is the focus of a lot of his work, and as Hemphill states, "I'm black and I'm gay. If I deny my blackness and deny my homosexuality, what am I going to write about?" Poet Essex Hemphill affirms what is largely an invisible experience, which, even within the gay and lesbian community, is represented according to the needs of white gays and lesbians -- as opposed to black gay men being able to say: This is who I am. These are the things Ifeel I believe. This is my inspiration."' Hemphill says he hopes his can help promote "a respect work Concerning his latest work, and diversity," and differences for Brother to Brother, he says, "We away from my come will one "that -namely gay African-Americansfor possibility the feeling work our what asserting be to - need experience is.
