April 3, 1992 Eugene, Oregon College ponders tuition increase by KELLEY EGRE Torch Contributing Editor Due to potential budget uncertainties associated with the effects of Ballot Measure 5, LCC students face a possible $1 per credit tuition increase next year. Marshall says the committee looked at a range of terms, including a suggested $20 application fee, but felt the best decision was a $1 per credit hour increase for each of the next three years. year's cost of living in Eugene and finding an average four percent increase, the committee decided to propose a tuition increase which equals about 4-6 percent. "I think this is a reasonable expectation in terms of the students here at Lane," Marshall says. Robert Marshall, vice president for Student Services and head ofLCC's Tuition Committee says the college is in reasonably good financial shape for the next year if costs and student enrollment remain the same. But in two years, when Ballot Measure 5 goes into effect, he says the college may face a dismal financial picture. According to the proposal, th~ additional funds derived through the application process would not substantially benefit the college or its students. "I think this tuition increase is the best way to go," says Tom Reimer, Math Department Chair and committee member. "We looked at all other options and we felt this was the most reasonable solution at this time." "But we haven,t had a lot of student involvement on lhis issue," admits Reimer. "LCC President Ernie Woodland attended our meetings, but he was lhe only one. Even our student representative wasn,t there. We could really use student input.,, "Do we wait until the crisis hits and raise tuition all at onceT' asks Marshall. "The committee felt it would be better to have moderate increases which are fair to all students," he explains. According to Reimer, some committee members thought the tuition increase could be greater after comparing LCC s tuition rates with colleges around the state. But after examining this The committee will offer its proposal to the Board of Education during its April meeting. Students are encouraged to attend and voice their opinions during the time allotted for statements from the gallery.

Passed as a _consent agenda item, the policy bans smoking in all LCC buildings, including em- ployee offices. The policy also prohibits smoking in outdoor areas marked by signs, primarily around ventilation intake areas. The board reached a consensus decision at its Feb. 12 meeting to enact a ban, but could not vote formally until the meeting following.

Pro-choice supporters to rally, march on Sunday by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor Pro-choice advocates in Eugene will join activists in Washington D.C. Sunday, April 5 to march for women's rights concerning legal abortion. The purpose is to "get people infonnedand angered" about what is happening to womens' rights concerning abortion, says SueBee Lynch, a member of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). Reproductive rights are being chipped away at, she says. Eugene and Washington D.C. are the only cities in the nation that will march on Sunday. Marchers will gather at the EMU courtyard at I p.m., where Soromundi, a 40-voice lesbian choir, will entertain. Margo Schaeffer, a local pro-choice activist, will motivate the crowd with a brief talk before marching. "She really gets people fired up," says Lynch. Participants will weave through downtown to the Federal Building, where local organizations, such as Peaceworks, will assemble to provide information concerning abortion and its legality to the public. Political candidates will present speeches with a pro-choice stance as well. Scheduled to appear are Senatorial candidates Harry Lonsdale and Les AuCoin; Representative Peter Defazio; Secretary of State Phil Keisling; Secretary of State candidates Mary Wendy Roberts and Bob Kholos; Attorney General candidate Jan Wyers; Oregon Representatives Lee Beyer, Jim Edmunson, and Sam Dominy; Planned Parenthood Education Director Mary Widoff; and Rabbi Myron Kinberg. The speakers will address what is happening politically with abortion, such as the Freedom of Choice act and the Gag Rule, which prohibits federal health clinic employees from speaking about abortion to patients, says Lynch.

The rally will bring out "a broadrangeofpeople," she says. Activists will be coming from as far away as Portland to participate in the march. The march is sponsored by Oregon NARAL, the University of Oregon, Students for Choice, the Women's Law Forum and Planned Parenthood of Lane County. According to Lynch, NARAL will be keeping a close eye on the Gag Rule and various court rulings around the country which could overturn Roe vs. Wade. "Access is a major issue," she says. Spousal consent and access for minors are two other issues that the group will continue to monitor. NARAL will also be identifying and supporting pro-choice political candidates, and following the Oregon District41 and42 campaigns closely. Radiothon keeps KLCC alive by ERIC WALSTROM Torch Staff Writer KLCC is depending on its listeners this week to raise $89,700 so that it may continue broadcasting as a National Public Radio (NPR) station. The money raised from the "on-air" fundraiser -- which KLCC conducts twice a year -goes toward payment of NPR dues and the total operating budget for KLCC/KLCO in Eugene and Newport. Business support, co-operation for public broadcasting, and college money form the rest of the budget. "KLCC has to be an important part of the community if we want to survive," says Steve Barton, general manager of KLCC . He says KLCC's loyal listeners have always come through for the station. In the past, the longestradiothon lasted 12 days. "Because of the listener support ... (we can) do fundraisers. But · it is still tough to raise money," says Barton. If the money doesn't come in, the stationhas to continue thefundraiser and possibly lose listeners. Barton mentions one southern Oregon station which spent a month on a fundraiser and irritated its listeners. This has never been a problemfor KLCC, though, says Barton. The community always comes through. Barton asks, "If KLCC wasn't here, how would your life be different?" The community answers: "Lousy! KLCCisveryuseful, Photo by Cate Johnson Alan Siporin encourages KLCC listeners to support the station and become thonbusters in KLCC's Radiothon. I enjoy it a great deal," states Daniel Pope, associate History professor at the University of Oregon. Pope is one of the original KLCC sponsors. "There would be a big hole in the community," says Diana Abemathey, Massage Therapist. "KLCC contributes character to the community." The daytime programming has 30-3 5 percent news and public affairs. The rest is the New Adult contemporary music, which is music 90 days old or newer. KLCC's music includes jazz, folk, new age, and world. Barton points out that it is the "sound" within the genre of the music played that agrees with the cbmmuni ty. Fundraisers act as a "reality check" with the community to see how KLCC is doing, says Barton. Anyone wanting to make a pledge toward KLCC radio can call locally at 726-2218, or 1800-922-3682 if th_e call is considered long distance. Parking anyone? The beginning of a new term arrives with the inevitable parking problem. Once again, LCC students juggled for classes and parking spaces. Some students resorted on the edge of the narrow Eldon Shafer Drive. Forensics.students qualify for national contest by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor The chance to compete against the best forensics students in the nation is being called a "once in a lifetime" opportunity by two LCC students who are on their way to Bryan Behan . the national meet in St. Louis on April 10-14, finances permitting. Gabrielle Cordero and Bryan Behan qualified for the national competition in March after plac- :1l1-'ot/:~r~tfMet-e~h~a in ::gttti·q g': ipyolved, 'p eople, or meetin·g new Jq:st l:9:9kiJ1g for a:::Pf.:~,S~. • f\J~:tu~n/:fqu)c,~f':ijelp : : out. .. ing fourth in Open Duo Interpretation at Whitworth College in Spokane, Wa. . Unfortunately, policy guidelines dating back to LCC's first president, Eldon Schafer, prohibit the institution from financing any extra-curricular activity on a national level -- which means Beban and Cordero must provide the $1,300 needed for the trip out of their own pockets. For those unfamiliar with forensics, it is not the study of dead bodies. According to LCC Forensics advisor Barbara Breaden, it is the study of argumentation, and includes a broad spectrum of speaking exercises from persuasive speaking to dramatic interpretation of literature. "The reason we are up there is to teach you, the listener, something about society or the world through our piece," says Beban. Cordero and Behan's use of a Thorton Wilder piece entitled "Our Town" has garnered top finishes throughout the year. They plan to use the piece if the pair makes it to Missouri. "It's communication from you to a group of people about something you feel is important. You express ideas through your own interpretation of the (literary work)," Cordero says. Says Breaden, "They've surprised people all year with that (Wilder piece)." She hopes the pair can make it work in St. Louis. The fact that they qualified to go to St. Louis illustrates the high quality of their pieces, says Breaden. Beban also qualified for nationals in Communications Analysis. Breaden says he has a good shot at a top finish if he can get his delivery down. "I know he is strong enough to do it." Tough competition is nothing new for the duo. Facing four-year colleges such as U of 0, Univer- Photo by Mathew Auxier Gabrielle Cordero sity of Alaska, Whitman College in Washington, and Carroll College in Montana, the team managed to place third in total point standings in the Northwest Forensics Conference. "It's exceptionally tough competition," saysBreaden. "They are competing against seniors at four year schools ... some of the best in the nation, and doing very well. Now other teams see LCC coming and they get scared ... because we are stiff competition." Because LCC policy guidelines inhibitfinancial sponsorship • at a national level, both students have been raising funds privately from businesses and individuals. Breaden, who has written fundraising letters for the duo, says she doesn't want to go against school policy, but at the same time cannot, in good conscience, deny them the opportunity to fulfill their ambitions. "Excellence in education should not stop where the buck stops," she says. LCC President Jerry Moskus admits the guidelines are antiquated and says, ''the policy needs to be re-examined and revised." Butrevisirn ofthepolicywon't help Beban or (:orde o in time. Both are asking for donations, in any amount, to help realize their dream. Anyone willing to help can send donations to the LCC Forensics Fund in care of the LCC Foundation. Perry Keet P.I. a i Ndin<3 1:he.

Editor: Joe Harwood Productioo Mgr: Jeanette Nadeau A & E Editor: Lynn Rea ~ate Editor: Tracy Brooks Contributing Editor: Kelley Egre Photo Editor: Dana Kman Sports Editor: Rohen Catalano Board of Education makes controversy fair and balanced After five long months of debate, discussion, and second-guessing, LCC's long-overdue indoor smoking ban went into effect this week. So far as we at the Torch can tell, smokers are honoring the new policy with but a few grumblings. What's almost as astonishing is that the LCC Board of Education and the college administration did not develop an enforcement policy for the ban. This institution's leaders feel peer pressure will be more than sufficient to curtail smoking within campus buildings. It seems to be working. But now that the smoke has settled and the air is clear, a few groups and individuals on both sides of the issue deserve a sincere thanks for their time and effort in what could loosely be called a shared decisionmaking process. First and foremost, instructor Jerome Garger gets a standing ovation for his efforts in creating and compiling a neutral, unbiased survey of LCC staff on the subject of smoking attitudes.Not only did he initiate the questionnaire after various complaints and a history of administrative indifference, he spent much of his own time and energy doing so. Unfortunately, Garger encountered open hostility - !· ]· instead of appreciation from those who opposed such a policy change. Some called his methodical survey "slanted." Some unjustly called his integrity into question -- all because Garger, a former smoker, is concerned with the proven adverse effects of second-hand smoke. Most people definitely have strong opinions, one way or the other, on smoking. No big surprise. The manner in which Garger went about surveying the staff is above reproach. His inclusion of both smokers' and non-smokers' advice on the final draft of the questionnaire attests to that. The groundless allegations that student input was purposely withheld are also without merit. Garger alerted ASLCC President Ernie Woodland last July of the impending survey, volunteering more of his time to aid in an open discussion and survey for students. It was Woodland's decision to delay the process, thus allowing the largest LCC population to go unheard until mid-way through the debate. So once again, thanks for your trouble, Mr. Garger. Next, the Torch commends the LCC Board of Education for its deliberative versus reactionary stance on the issue. Throughout the five months of heated @ · 1• t . i i f a .1f!i{fifili[@Slfi!f;ff;ff!fjf!ff!ff!fiifilifi!Wli7ff!!!if!iJi!JW!.Tu7J\&Jiiiiiftll&!J£WliE4trlXWliiiilW#L Despite legality, abortion is wrong To The Editor: The LCC Torch Editorial Staff letter "Right to Abortion: It's the Law" as well as Associate Editor Tracy Brooks' "Legal clinic fights hostility" of 3-6-92 are excellent examples of flawed reasoning. Both articles weakly try to justify abortion's legitimacy through the 1973 Supreme Court decision on Roe vs. Wade which made abortion legal. In other words, abortion has been legalized through the law, therefore its right. Wrong. Merely 130yearsagowhitepeople could actually own the lives of black men, women and children due to the slavery laws of the day. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation laid the groundwork for the complete destruction of those inhumane laws. Slavery was accepted as completely legitimate and enforceable in its time, but I'm sure that Tracy and the Torch staff would agree that slavery was wrong. Before women's suffrage, the lawunfairl y prevented women from voting in America. More recently, the laws of Hitler's Germany allowed the mass persecution and extermination of Jews. Only Neo-Nazis would support that law now. Today, there are many of us who believe that abortion is morally wrong and legally corrupt. We believe that the Torch staff and the laws of our day are wrong on the abortion issue. You do have the power oflegality on your side for the time being- but that doesn't make abortion right. David P. Bartlett Kudos to Board on smoke issue To the Editor: . My name is William Hollingsworth. I am currently serving as an ASLCC Senator on student government. I would like to express my extreme appreciation and gratitude to the LCC Board of Education for the very difficultdecisiontheyhadtomake on a very controversial issue: the smoking policy on campus. After four months of discussion and an outstanding example of what can be achieved in the exercising of shared governance, the Board of Education voted to ban smoking indoors at all LCC facilities. I do not think that anyone can say the Board made a rash decision. Both factions, smokers and non-smokers alike, had ample opportunity to voice their opinions on this issue. After carefully considering all of the facts, the Board came to whatlfeel was the only acceptable solution to this controversial issue. I would also like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to English Instructor Jerome Garger and to student and former ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso for their leadership and diligent work on such an important health issue which concerns everyone on this campus. Thanks for "getting the ball rolling" Jerome and Mike! I wish that I could also include some "kudos" to the current student government, but after I gave the ASLCC opportunity after opportunity to take a stand on this Tum to Letters, page 5 HELP WANTED -The : LOO Torch : -ne~di -pan~Um.e a,dverUsinf sales - •>he.Ip Discount Subscription ~ice for Ne1.11 Comics C.ash Paid for Old Comics and Games no See Jan Brown Mondays 9 to 11 am The Torch Office CEN 205 EXT 2654 E. 13th • cso3l 345-2568 Othcr location: Nost.;alE;i.a Collectibles 527 Will~mette St. (5ml 484-9202 Page4 April 3, 199'2 The Torch controversy, all of the board members -- along with LCC President Jerry Moskus -- remained fair and balanced when weighing the alternative solutions to the obvious problems inherent with the indoor smoking controversy. The board could easily have handed down mandates, fore going the many months of forum and discussion. To apply shared decision-making to such a divisive issue is evidence of their commitment to a system that can obviously work. This steadfast leadership will continue to make LCC one of the top two-year colleges in the country. ASLCC Communications Director Shane Rhodes also deserves kudos for compiling the student smoking survey on such short notice in October. Without his last-minute efforts, students would not have had any voice in the process. Michael Omogrosso, JoAnne Wilson, Bill Hollingsworth, and Heather Kent also deserve this institution's gratitude for their individual sacrifice of time and energy in a process that sometimes got downright dirty.

William Hollingsworth Lonely inmate needs pen pal To the Editor: MyfullnameisStephenJeffery Talbott. I go by Jeff. A little about me. I feel I must tell you where I am at so you will know that I am being up front with you. I am in jail in London, Ohio. The reason why I am writing to you is because I would like to ask you for a favor. I know this would be asking a lot, and believe mel wouldn't be asking if I could do it my own, but my hands are tied. It, at times, is very lonely in this place. And I haven ,t been getting any mail. My favortoaskfromyou is, if you can find it in your heart, to place a small ad for me in your newspaper or put my name and address on the school bulletin board. I have no funds to pay you at this time, but maybe someday the favor will be paid in full. I know this isn't something you would normally do for a prisoner, but please just this once make an exception to help me find a friend. All I want is a friend to correspond with. I'm a white male, 5 '11, 180 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes. Thank you very much for your time. Jeff Talbott #184-864 P.O. Box 69 London, Ohio 43140 Butt flickers are inconsiderate To the Editor: As I was leaving school on Monday, I walked past the table that has been left outside the north end of the cafeteria for the use of cigarette smokers. It was littered with trash, empty cups, and hundreds of cigarette butts. It seems to me that this inconsiderate behavior is an illustration of the sloppy, unconscious thinking that allows you to pollute your bodies with a known carcinogen. I think I speak for a majority of students when I say that we don't want your smoke in our air, or your trash on the grounds of our school. Get a grip. Not only is smoking idiotic behavior, (17 people a day die from it in Oregon) you are acting like inconsiderate pigs. Durel Wiley Opinion Poll Question of the Week: Should politicians accept money from special interest groups? Torch statements too ambiguous Dear Editor: I must commend the Torch staff for a job well done against racism and sexism on the LCC campus over the past few weeks. Their coverage of the "Sexual Harassment Task Force" has basically given it the power to move forward the way it has been, and the editorials against racism have been effective. But the editorial in last week's paper, "Right to Abortion: It,s the Law/' seems to be without basis. A few "militant pro-life fruitcakes/' steal a sign, and the Torch is once again storming, only this time without a true cause. Maybe after winning their fight against the true enemies, now the Torch has lifted their head up above the battle, looking for someone else to fight. And they are flexing their muscles against the "orderly conservatives," who have done nothing but steal a few signs. If that. "Most pro-life advocates are not of the conservative militant mold, but many are." What kind of ambiguous statement is that? In its efforts to uphold the "law," the Torch is creating its own type of prejudice.

Photos by Erin Naillon Interviews by Erin Sutton Don Standeford Editorial gives bad impression To the Editor: I am writing to respond to your editorial March 6 denigrating the quality of service Birthright of Eugene gives to its community. It is well known that for 19 years Birthright has offered concrete and practical alternatives to abortion in an atmosphere of respect and non-judgement. For those who want our service, we provide prenatal help, maternity and baby clothing, verification for medical card, shelter homes, legal advice - and friendship during a very trying time. Every material and emotional support for the health of mother and child is given freely and with complete confidentiality. It is sad to hear this loving service characterized as another type of group. But more than that, your unfortunate and unfounded accusation may lead to misconceptions and a loss of hope for the pregnant woman who desperately needs support.

Page6 FIECYCLE Tl-ti~ pqpeFI The Torch ASLCC ·e10ctions present leadership opportunities Spring has arrived and with it comes a new round of Associated Students of Lane Community College (ASLCC) elections. Lane students interested in running for president, vice-president, cultural director, high school completion senator, or any of nine other senatorial seats can pick up application packets beginning April 6 at the ASLCC offices in Center 479. Although the ASLCC President-elect appoints the communications director and Student Resource Center director positions after the May elections, individuals interested must still complete the standard application packet. . All students winning positions on the executive cabinet are enutled to full tuition waivers. The ASLCC president also receives a salary. Those occupying senate seats receive a tuition waiver for one class per term. Says Jeannee Beauchaine, ASLCC secretary, says "The biggest benefit in working for student government is learning to work as a team rather than as individuals." Beauchaine says the ASLCC has the power to make a difference here on campus. "Since student government is autonomous and not controlled by the administration, [it] has a tendency to be stronger. "All students are encouraged to apply for positions. I'd like to extend a special invitation to international students to get involved in student government and apply for executive positions," she says. Fun in the sun Some LCC students take time out of the usually boring first-week orientation classes to enjoy some laid-back frisbee in the great mid-week weather. Spring has sprung this year with unseasonably warm and sunny days. Don't worry though, the rain will come back soon enough. Hatchery offers trout, sturgeon by KIM MCCAULEY Torch Travel Reporter For a quick trip into both past and present, sightseers should access the historic McKenzie Highway (Highway 126), which cuts through beautiful old-growth forests on its easterly path through the Cascade Mountain range. Take I-105 east, or follow Main Street through Springfield to start your trek. It does not take long before travelers find themselves out of the city and well into the beautiful McKenzie countryside. Two noteworthy day use areas can be reached with minimum time or effort. Both are filled with enough amenities for a perfect RESERVE day's outing. First is Hendrick's Bridge State Park. Whether your thrill is taking an easy hike, gliding down the river, fishing, picnicking, or just enjoying open space for a game of frisbee, this park will accommodate you. The other is the Leaburg Fish Hatchery and Waterboard Park, offering a unique combination of fun and thrills for kids of all ages. View andfeed thousands offuture river-stock trout ranging in size from hatchlings to enormous brooder fish. Walk throughout the hatchery grounds and witness the delicate care needed to introduce healthy fish into local rivers and lakes. A particular tank which houses Albino trout will be a special treat for all visitors. A stroll around the pond created to house both brooder trout and sturgeon is also an option. After the hatchery, take a leisurely lunch in the adjacent Waterboard Park. Picnic sites are nestled in the trees along the majestic McKenzie River, adding to the natural tranquility of the area. After lunch, visitors can enjoy feeding the abundant community of ducks and geese which make this park their home. Either of these two locations will provide an enjoyable and relaxing day trip.

The Torch April 3, 1992 CORPS Computer Aided Design renovates class software by BRIAN MCINTYRE for the Torch Beginning spring term, students in the Computer Aided Design program will use new computer software in the 3-D Modelling class. 3-D modelling allows designers and draftspersons a better perspective of what he or she is creating, says Bob Vogel, Electronics Department chair. It allows the student to get an accurate perception of width,height, and depth when creating a three-dimensional image, such as a floor plan for a building, he says. The course first came to life in 1986 in an ·old storage room in the Electronics Department "with six computers and wobbly chairs," says Vogel. Now, the old room has been renovated to a computer lab with high-performance computers and the latest software. It's not too late to register, so all interested are encouraged to contact the Electronics Department at ext. 2459. Get physical with intramurals Was it "Something She Said?"

"If you are interested and can make it to the fields, there is probably a team sport here for you.," says Knapp. Participants must be registered LCC students and have current intramural cards in order to sign up for a team. Cards can be obtained for $3 at the Intramurals Office, Room 204 of the Physical Education Building. r ""l ASLCC Calllpus Calendar . Friday, April 3 Citadel Traveling Troupe, Noon in the cafeteria.

One of each of these plots can be found in nearly every movie made today, but rarely can all these situations be found in the same movie, as is the case in "Rebel Without A Cause." GREAT GOOD No this is not a re-make, nor is it one of those "rereleases," but it is the original 1955 classic stan::ing James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo. "Rebel Without A Cause" is the story of Jim Stark, played by James Dean, a teen who is trying to force the world that he lives in to understand him. Stark is a tom up kid, looking just for guidance and love. The show opens with him getting arrested for being an intoxicated minor. He is taken to the police station where he sees, for the first time, Judy and Plato. Judy is a 16-year-old girl who is, like everyone else in this movie, having some problems with her home life. She was brought in to the station for wandering the streets at one o'clock in the morning. Plato is a boy, about 15-yearsold, who has been brought in for shooting six puppies. They do not become instant friends. In fact, Stark only sees Judy and just speaks to Plato for a moment when he offers him his jacket. The story is classic: from the fight scenes, to the love scenes, to the death scenes. I:Iaving never seen this movie before, it was a surprise to me to see how "Rebel Without A Cause" seemed to be the father of all teenage rebellion movies. James Dean was an actor far before his time for the screen. His performance in "Rebel Without A Cause" is touching as well as compelling. His early death was truly a tragedy to the film world and its viewing public. Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo also died early and unexpectedly, making this film even more attractive. "Rebel Without A Cause" plays this weekend, Friday through Monday at 7:30 p.m., at The McKenzie Theatre on Main Street in Springfield. Tickets are $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for students, seniors, and the alter-abled, and $1 for children under the age of nine. For those who've seen this film, go back and relive some memories. For those who haven't, go and find out what you've really missed.

Artist shares realistic images Photo by Dana Krizan "Seated male, reclining female," by artist Steve Bigler, is one of several oil on canvas paintings being exhibited in the LCC Art Gallery, courtesy of The Contemporary Realist Gallery of San Francisco. The show continues through April 24. Gallery hours are Mon.-Thurs., 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Fri. 8 a.m.-5p.m. by SONJA TAYLOR Torch Staff Writer An exhibit of paintings by IowaartistSteveBigler, which opened March 30, will be on display in the LCC Gallery through April 24. Bigler will lecture Monday, April 13 at I p.m in the gallery. He will also critique the work of LCC's advanced art students. LCC gallery coordinator Hoy says Bigler first creates his compositions in charcoal studies. When painting, he then uses repeated coats of oil paints, and then sands between the layers in order to create a perfectly modulated surface. Harold Hoy says he first saw Bigler' soils when Hoy worked at Northern Iowa University where Bigler teaches art. Bigler's paintings tell a story, says Hoy. He describes the style as "excellent traditional work ... almost like an old Dutch master. Most of his paintings are of figures. They are very traditional and you can see the interaction between the figures he paints." While Bigler has exhibited his his work at the Contemporary Realist Gallery in San Francisco, the LCC exhibit will be the first in the Northwest.

Led by James Boutin and Sam Thompson, the Titans defeated upstart Walla-Walla CC 92-89 and Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) tourney host Lower Columbia College 81-77 to reach the championship game where they defeated the Skagit Valley Cardinals 71-57 in the March 5-7 tournament in Longview, Wash. The semifinal victory After a hard-fought victory over Walla-Walla on March 5, in which Jim Snyder stepped forward as the hero with a timely three-pointer and his team leadership, the Titans were matched up in a semifinal the following evening againstLowerColumbia College on the Red Devil's home court. This was James Boutin' s night to be the hero. Coming off a di c;;mal performance against Walla-Walla in which Coach Jim Boutin said his son was distracted by "wondering who was there in the crowd watching," the younger Boutin poured in 38 points and snagged seven rebounds. Although the number of points in Boutin's performance is impressive, the timing of his baskets in the clutch was phenomenal. After the Red Devils cut an 11point Titan advantage to four with 3:20 left in the game, Boutin hit a IO-foot jumper to increase the Titan lead to 73-67. A minute' later, the Red Devils were within a basket at 73-71 and seemed to have momentum on their side. Boutin broke their hearts. In the final two minutes of the game, Boutin hit six consecutive free-throws giving the Titans an 81-77 win. I t t Wt 4 4¥ mt i t1i.3: '#i p; Stopping the Cardinals Later in the evening, in the other semifinal game, Skagit Val1e y defeated LCC-nemesis Chemeketa CC 86-83,fortheright to face the Titans in the March 7 championship final. Skagit Valley Coach Dave Qualls, at a coaches' get-together on the eve of the tournament opener, claimed that no team had been able to stop his team from scoring all year. Boasting three players who averaged over 20 points a game, the Cardinals averaged a formidable 100 points a game over the course of the season. Coach Boutin and the Titans apparently weren't intimidated. Armed with a game plan created specifically to deal with Skagit Valley's style of play, the Titans came out of the locker room with the swagger of champions before the opening tip-off. The Cardinals took an early 10-4 lead, but the unphased Titans stuck to their design. Holding the ball for at least 25 seconds on every possession before beginning theiroffensive set, the Titans disrupted Skagit's runand-gun mode of play, and prevented the Cardinals from turning the game into a track meet. Despite trailing most of the first half, and with Thompson and Boutin on the bench because of foul trouble, the Titans fought back and tied the game at the buzzer 31-31 on a layup by Mike Neves. The Titans took a four -point lead with 15 :32 left in the game on a difficult behind the backboard shot by Boutin, who scored ten of Photo by Mathew Auxier The 1991-92 NWAACC conference champions.

That's when the Titans got serious. Led by Boutin and Curt Broadsword, who came off the bench to replace Thompson, the Titans went on a 13-2 run to doom the Cardinals. "This may have been the best coached team I've ever gone up against in my life," admitted Qualls referring to the Titans. "Coach Boutin is to be complimented because I've never seen a game plan so well laid out and executed. We were beaten by a better team." Coach Boutin said the performances of Thompson and Neves helped decide the game's outcome. "Sam did a good job keeping us in the game in the first half," Boutin said. "Neves did an incredible job defending (Derrick) Croft." Thompson scored 15 of the Titans' first 21 points and Neves held Croft, the Cardinals leading scorer, to shooting four of 18 from the floor and 13 points overall. Boutin was named tournament MVP and Thompson made the NW AACC All-Tournament team. Another hero helps the Titans 1:cc . . .

Older student rues changes time has wrought by METHUSELAH JONES Torch guest Satirist As anolderstudentatLCC, the rituals practiced and the style of clothing worn by some of my younger counterparts has me disturbed. When I was young, my hair was long and I never cut it unless I had to impress a girlfriend's parents or get a job. Nowadays, young people wear their hair short. The guys look like they 're shooting for a career in law enforcement or the military, and the women seem to think the bald shape of their skull is sexually alluring. The clothing being worn is really alarming. The other day I saw these two guys walking around wearing suits and was dismayed tofindoutthey were students. What's worse, I found out they were Young Republicans. Now inmy day, students never wore suits or uniforms to school unless they were forced to. Never, and I mean never, was there such a thing as a Young Republican going to college. In fact, the only Young Republicans I ever saw belonged to either the Ku Klux Klan, were model children, or Christian Scientists. Sounds sort of like a knee operation on Barney Rubble's wife. When I graduated from high school, everybody wanted to go to California. Now everybody's coming from California. Kids worried if the vehicle they drove could make the trip south. Today, they drive better cars than most parents are able to afford. It's also strange to listen to the conversations of young students. Never is there a word about smoking grass or being committed to creating a better world. It seems getting high now means being upwardly mobile and the tim~ committed to curing social ills is spent avoiding social diseases. In 1968, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were looked up to by millions of youthful Americans. Upuntilrecently, two heroes of this generation were Jimmy Swaggart and Mike Tyson. The 1968 heroes were cut down by assasin' s bullets; the latter-day heroes were assassinated by their own characters. Even their slang is strange. For . example, "scoping some Betty's." .•· " .
