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.
In addition, expansion by Pamco and possibly

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

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.

Republican rhetoric doesn't pay the :bUls
Every six years, education lobbyists from all over
the country gather in Washington D. 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.

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?

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. Regardless of my gender or
sexual preference I find this offensive and contradictory to

Question of the Week: What kind of experiences have you had applying for credit?

John Raasch-Undecided
"I've had great experiences, actually. I bought a stereo on credit four
or five years ago, then bought a
truck on credit and paid it all off.
I've got a Master Card, Visa, stuff
like that I pay them off. So I have
had a pretty good experience.

Paula Simmons-Biology

see a change in Black History

hard to bring a little of that history
to Lane.
"I had never taken on anything

work he's done on his own and in
conjunction with ASLCC over
the last couple of months. "But I
really want to give blacks a broad
view of what being black can really be. I mean, we have a history
so rich and so diverse it needs to

It's time for the "Wayne's World" vocabulary update:

Zang: A Cantonese word meaning, "excellent"
Shwing: A slang term meaning, "Ohmy, that's an attractive lady."
If you 're a little confused by these terms ... If you 're reading along
and saying, "Exsqueezme?" Then it's time to get a dose of "Wayne's
World." Produced by Loren Micheals of"Saturday Night Live," fame,
"Wayne's World," is a Paramount Pictures film based on two characters from the NBC show "Saturday Night Live." 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. It was a new

One of the great English romantic
poets,
William
Wordsworth, once described poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility."
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

his poetry in public. His next appearance will be at the 5th Street
Public Market on Tuesday March

Silver Falls offers recreation
by KIM MCAULEY
Torch Travel Reporter
Silver Falls State Park covers
8,302 acres for hiking, overnight
camping, horseback riding and
group outings.
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.

This majestic waterfall is one of many that are only a hike
away at Silver Falls State Park, a short drive from Salem.

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. Brother to Brother . one's empowerment is there."
