Lane Community College Native Americans say Lane is culturally biased Indians cffe need for teachers with qualtly cultural background Jocko Verhein by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor The essence of Native American education at LCC is culturally flawed, according to Lane students of Native American descent. "It's white education for white people," says Peter Simon, a NativeAmericanstudent. Simon says the Native American Literature and Nalive American Anthropology classes, each offered once a year, are taught by white instructors from a white perspective. That, he asserts, is no way for students to gain a true understanding of the culture. The classes should be taught by a "culturally qualified" person. "You can't be an Indian in here," he says, pointing to his head. "You have to be an Indian here," he points to his heart. "It's a problem no one's even scratched the surface of," he says. The fact that the Native American population is so low at LCC attests to this, he says. "Why aren't they coming here?" he asks. "When they do come, why don't they stay?" Native Americans are angry, says Frank Merrill, LCC's Native American repres~ntative and Native American Student Association Advisor. But, he asks, "Who's listening?" But Native American Jocko Verhein disagrees, saying that Ingrid Gram, who teaches Native American Anthropology, has gone out of her way to teach culturally correct information about Native Americans in her class. She's worked with Lane's Native Americans at length, allowing them to bring Native speakers to the classes and review the proposed class text for accuracy. The problems arise, says Verhein, when culturally ignorant people teach Indian culture. The most recent incident involved a part-Cherokee Indian University of Oregon professor, who spoke to the class about literature and strayed to Native American history. Gram says the speaker did give Tum to Native, page 2 Tuition increase imminent aviation transfer certain by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor Discussion of a tuition increase and the approval of an architectural feasibility study of the Eugene Airport as a possible site for a new aviation maintenance program highlighted the April 8 Board of Education meeting. The board voted 4-2 to engage an architectural firm and proceed with a conceptual study of the Eugene Airport. The Facilities Management Committee selected The Admunson Associates, who will conduct the study at a total maximum cost of $22,500. The study will detennine the scope and cost involved in relocating the Aviation Maintenance program to the airport. Earlier this year, the board set aside $1.1 million of the college's supplemental budget for the project. Board members Chuck Ivey and Larry Mann opposed hiring an architect at this time, citing a need for more in-depth information before committing .any funds to the project. Once completed, Colvin will present the study to the board for Tum to Increase, page 2 Quality time anytime While waiting for his meeting with a counselor, Tim Pinson, a recent transfer student from Black Hill State University, South Dakota, found reading Bambi to his son Tyler to be just the ticket. Pinson hopes to pursue a degree in Social Science. Despite progress, bus pass uncertain by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Lane Transit District (LTD) and student government representatives have made signifigant headway in negotiations for a lowcost group bus pass, but the current situation "is not acceptable" according to LCC negotiators. Since January, the two bargaining teams have met twice a month in a series of proposal and counter-proposal sessions -- the bone of contention being the per term student cost of a group pass. At one time, LTD proposed a $12 per student per term charge. Through negotiations and "number-crunching," that figure has now been reduced to $8.99 per student. While Vincent Jones, LCC negotiating team chair, admits the present figure is a great improvement on previous offers, he says it is still too high to benefit LCC as a whole. Under LTD policy guidelines, group pass rates are based on 100 percent participation of the institution, which means all main campus students would be charged for the pass through student fees - whether or not they use bus service. "That ($8.99) is not fair to the majority of students who don't ride the bus," says Jones. Although the current proposal is a "great deal" for those students who rely exclusively on the bus for transportation, Jones says the majority of students who can't ride the bus or live in areas not serviced by LTD shouldn't be assessed such a high cost. "As committee chair, I'm not satisfied with the ·number as it stands," he says. Unfortunately, the deadline for submitting ballot titles for the spring ASLCC elections is April 17. Because the LCC Board of Education must approve all student fee increases prior to placing them on the ballot, a special teleconference has been arranged so the board can vote on the issue in the event of last-minute move- ment on the issue. . ASLCC President Ernie Woodland also says he does not support the current charge because it is too high. ButLTDDirectorof Administrative Services Mark Pangborn defends the $8.99 figure, saying that LTD must break even on the deal, the public company must remain revenue neutral. "If we make it so cheap that it isn't revenue neutral," he says, "someone else (in the county) has to pay for it." Through experience and complex numerical formulas, Pangborn and the LTD staff predict LCC bus ridership will double in the event of a group pass. Because enrollment at the college has increased, LTD already plans to add additional service. "If a group pass went into effect, we'd have to increase service that much more," he says. Such increases would include morning and afternoon 10-minute "peak period" express shuttles, and, LTD Tum to Pass, page 11 Torch .claims seven awards in contest il@!Jl )lYAHl#.\\NJt1fllf}JlJPJ - • ·~ • Best News Story: Editor Joe Harwood earned first place for his reporting on the resignation of Substance Abuse Program Coordinator Harvey Bond. • Best Editorial: Editor Joe Harwood won first place commenting on the MLK Celebration and institutional racism.

Her intention in asking him was to "represent one more variant in bridging the two worlds. I think his intentions were honorable," she says. However, some students disagreed. "I felt my spirit shaking me," says Verhein. "He is not an expert on the Indian way of life, and that is what he tried to convey." People in the class are trying to gain insight into the culture, he says, and misinformed speakers or teachers promote misconceptions. Merrill concurs. "That's where the stereotypes come from." Merrill says the key to eliminating Indians stereotypes and misconceptions is bringing Na- ~c\MrPM~ live American with insight into the culture to the college to speak. "As long as they 're going to havelndianclasses,"saysMerrill, the college needs to provide culturally literate instructors and speakers. "They must have 'real Indian information,' not the white man's version." Gram admits she can't personally represent the Native American point of view in her class. But, she says, "I don't feel apologetic for teaching (Native American) Anthropology," she says. "You get the biases of the person who's teaching." It can't be avoided, she says, no matter who teaches the course. She would like to see Native American education expand at LCC, with Native Americans teaching courses.

I LCC's student newspaper, the Torch, made a strong showing last week in the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association (ONPA) Collegiate Press Newspaper Contest. Honors were awarded at the ONPA Conference for Editors, Reporters, and College Journalists held April 3, in Tualatin. The Torch competed in a category of two and four year college newspapers with circulation below 5,000. In that division, the Torch received seven honors: • Best Feature Story: Contributing Editor Kelley Egre won first place for her reporting on the Meals on Wheels program.

Located in the Center Building cafeteria, the fair will offer the students and the general public a chance to meet with 50 employers from various different career fields. "It'll be all in one place," says Joan Adams, director of LCC's Job Placement Office, who hopes the fair will help job searchers get answers and advice about today's job market. Some of the employers registered to attend include the cities of Eugene and Springfield, the Armed Forces, United Parcel Service, First Interstate Bank ( 18th and Oak, Eugene), the Federal Aviation Administration in Eugene, Kaiser Permanente Dental Care Program, and the Internal Revenue Service. All the above and many others will maintain information booths. Increase approval. In other business: • The board raised questions and concerns about two proposed changes in tuition and fees: a $1 per credit tuition increase and an application fee. The proposed tuition increase would take effect in Fall term of the 1992-93 academic year, adding $1 to the cost of each credit hour. Tuition is currently $23 per credit. "I've got a real problem with this," saidlvey.Hesaidtheamount it would bring, an estimated $300,000 the first year, is not enough to justify increasing costs for students. "I know a lot of kids out here that are barely skinning by," he said. Tuition would continue to increase $1 per credit hour per year for the two years following. The application fee would be "an enormous headache," said President Jerry Moskus, as it would create new costs and would require exception and refund policies to accompany it. "I do not like to see these kinds of barriers to higher education," said board member Peter Sorenson. "Education is expensive, but ignorance is more expensive." Moskus will continue to collect input and will present a proposal to be voted upon at the May While last year's career fair accommodated 500-600 students, Adams expects twice as many students to tum-out of this year. Since the LCC Foundation is contributing funding for the event, employers' entry fees were waived. Anotherreasonfor the expected increased turnout is due to the door prizes offered this year. Among the prizes are LTD monthly passes, a $20 gift certificate from Mary Kay cosmetics, and mini-pocket flashlights and ring toss games from Sears Roebuck. Adams says the incentive is there for attendance. Toby Finklestein, employment specialist, says students should ask the following questions of the businesses: Are there openings? How can people apply? Students can also ask for advice, she says: What is the appropriate dress and attitude for an interview? How should a resume look? "CareerForce 2000" starts at 10 a.m. and goes until 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15. The door prize giveaway begins at 1 p.m. continued from page 1 meeting, at which time the board will vote. • The board discussed parttime faculty, stating that the number of part-time teachers is dramatically increasing. Julie Aspinwall-Lamberts in Research, Planning, and Development, said that all reports indicate that students are satisfied with the quality of teaching by part-time instructors. Board member Roger Hall stated that a lack of adequate parttime instructor evaluations could be causing misconceptions as to how part-timers are regarded by students. Part-time Computer Aided Design instructor Ron Myers remonstrated the board for its lack of awareness on the issue of parttime instruction. As a part-timer joining LCC's faculty, Myers says he was not oriented to the college, received no handbook, was not informed about department policies, and was left in the dark about safety and fire issues. When he tried to ask about these issues, he says, he was ignored. He also said he feels he has no union representation, even though he pays union dues. "I've never been treated as shabbily as I have here," he said. "I swear to you that I will never return to this campus to teach after this term." He said that students he deals with express negative comments about part-time instruction, citing that they aren't learning enough in the time part-timers have to teach. He also asserted that he was not asked to teach a four credit course that he was the most qualified to teach, due to the fact that his salary is higher than other part-timers in the department. "Part-time instruction doesn't work," he insisted. Moskus disagreed, stating that part-timers bring up-to-date technology with their teaching, as well as allow the college to stretch and meet demand or scale back when demand wanes, without having to dislocate employees. LCC Education Association President Don Micken said that when a school relies too heavily on part-timers, programs "go to hell in a hand basket." Expecting full-timers alone to meet the curriculum planning demands of a department is unreasonable, he said. "I think we have a quality control problem ... that we need to address," said Sorenson. • The board also voted unanimously to accept the results of the March 24, 1992 election for LCC Board members, and declare incumbents Ivey and Cindy Weeldreyer as winners. The next board meeting will takeplaceMay 13,at7:30p.m.,in the Boardroom. Childcare in mall an innovation LCC grad starts childcare business in Gateway mall by DEBORAH STO1LER Torch Staff Writer What do LCC's Early Childhood Education Program, Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and the Gateway Mall in Springfield have in common? LCC graduate Susan DeLoach. DeLoach owns and directs Bright Beginnings, two successful daycare centers in Springfield; one of which is the first and only in-mall child care center in Oregon. After earning an associate of science degree from LCC in 1984, DeLoach first operated a child care center from her home. DeLoach, 30, runs the centers with a philosophy of accepting clients on a drop-in basis, a flexible policy which she says allows parents and children the opportunity to try out the program. She tries to run her service so that parents and staff work together "to develop a program that best meets the needs of (the parents') children." When the owners of the Gateway Mall approached her about 18 months ago and asked her to duplicate in the Gateway Mall a child care center identical to the Bright Beginnings Pre-school and Day Care Center she developed on Harlow Road, she decided she needed business advice. So she consulted the SBDC. SBDC counselor Patti Pomerantz worked closely with DeLoach and helped her to write a business plan and loan proposal. Pomerantz remembers De Loach as someoi:ie who "really did her homework ... Susan is very savvy." In addition to her counseling and education chores at the SBDC, Pomerantz is herself a business woman - the proprietor of Practical Solutions, a business consulting service. She says she dispenses the same educational information to all ofher clients regarding the efforts involved in owning and operating a business, whether or not they come to her through the SBDC or Practical Solutions. "It takes an incredible amount of work," she concedes. "As an educational consultant, I cannot actually do things for the client. All I can do is suggest the best course of action and evaluate their progress." In addition to the loan proposal and business plan, she helped DeLoach with other issues associated with owning two business. "We covered personnel management, and how to staff the centers, as well as (Susan's) own personal time management," says Pomerantz. She opened the Gateway Mall location, and met with success. She says the mall employees, as well as a large number of LCC and UO students, say they appreciate Bright Beginnings' adaptable schedule. DeLoach says the center "understands students' needs. We work for the student." Many of the children who begin on a drop-in basis return to enroll full-time, she says. Such a transition is easier for these children because they remember the teachers and learning activities from previous visits. DeLoach says the mall location has its own set of unique benefits. "It's a convenient and safe place for day field trips, plus (the Gateway Mall's management) sends Santa and the Easter Bunny to all of our parties," she says. Referring to her corporation's growth, DeLoach says she is "really pleased, because we 're signingup new children all the time." Although she receives plenty of support from her family, with two small sons it's important for DeLoach to "make quality time for herself," adds Pomerantz. She says DeLoach' s business success stems from "a deep personal commitment to hard work." LCC offers a two-year associate of applied science degree and a one-year certificate of completion in early childhood education through its Health Occupations Department; call 747-4501 for more information. The SBDC offers business counseling, workshops, classes, and three-year management programs; call 726-2255 for more information. ASLCC ratifies racism club by KELLEY EGRE Torch Contributing Editor In an effort to combat racial stereotypes at LCC and in the Eugene/Springfield community, ASLCC ratified the Racism Free Zone as a new club on campus and provided them with $50 startup fee during its April 9 meeting. According to club co-chair Elliotte Cook's proposal, the main purpose of the club is to, "Help students and teachers alike understand the hurt and unfairness of racism. "What the program does is teach individuals (about racism) through classes, organizations, fund raisers, and speakers from around the country," says Cook. He says he hopes the club will help expose the prejudices individuals might possess regarding people of color and aid the new group in coming together to stop bigotry. LCC'sRacismFreeZoneClub will join eight similar student-run organizations in the Eugene/ Springfield area. OTHER BUSINESS • Bob Marshall, vice president for Student Services and head of LCC's tuition committee, spoke to ASLCC about the committee's recent tuition increase proposal. "As a committee we asked Dick Hillier (vice president for Administrative Services) to give us some idea of the anticipated revenue for the ins\itution over the next three or four years," said Marshall. He says that the committee, after seeing the budget problems predicted by Hillier's research, then made a proposal for a $1 tuition increase for the 1992-93 school year, which would bring approximately $300,000· in increased revenue into the college's budget. ASLCC's High School Completion (HSC) Representative Cai Wilson said she felt the tuition increase to HSC students wasn't justifiable. "At least 50-60 percent of the High School Completion Program is on welfare... and that $1 increase is really going to affect those people," she said. "Is there someone working on the committee who is representing the program like there is for financial aid students?" • The Native American Student Association (NASA) re- ceived $4240 from ASLCC monies to fund its April 25 Pow-Wow and Culture Fair. Jocko Verhein, chairman of the group, said NASA estimates the Pow-wow will be one of the largest student-organized activities at LCC. • A start-up fee of $50 was approved for PAMA (the actual title of the organization was never indicated), a club which ASLCC ratified during its April 2 meeting. • Bettering Our Own Students Together (B.O.O.S.T.), a multicultural education program promoting self-esteem for chil• dren,received$585fromASLCC to fund the program through the end of the 1991-92 school year. • ASLCC tabled a request for $295 from the LCC Forensics Team to purchase team sweatshirts until its April 16 meeting. • ASLCC Child Care Coordinator Franki Surcamp and Kim Galluger, a senate applicant for next year, received a total of $462.40 to attend a lesbian, gay and bisexual conference in Beaverton, Ore. and a displaced homemakers conference in Newport, Ore. Both hope to learn new ideas from the conferences which they could possibly incorporate at LCC. Photo By Erin Naillon Where is it? Can you find this statue on campus?

Still reeling from news of the Savings and Loan fiasco, voters received a second double-dose of crow pie when the House Bank reported widespread checkbouncing by a majority of congressmen. Some distinguished members floated more than 300 checks, while others kept the number under a modest 20. How can the American public trust Congress to make sound fiscal decisions when many cannot- and choose not to - balance their own checkbooks? How can we trust a governing body that refuses to make itself accountable? High-ranking members of the Bush Administration couldn' t even manage to separate themselves from the circus. Those who got caught, like many congressmen, either blamed their spouses or the bank for faulty record keeping - but almost none had the moral fortitude to admit wrongdoing. Which brings us to Mondo-Mudsling '92 ... er, the 1992 Presidential Campaign - the ultimate in rhetorical double-speak. Already plagued with mini-scandals including alleged extra-marital affairs, draft-dodging, tax evasion, and even pot smoking, the candidates as well as the incumbent may soon have to lock-in the hubs and use (our-wheel drive to get out of the bog in time for the November general elections. Of all the major party candidates, not one stands out as a viable leader in these times of disillusionment and disgust. Americans are looking for a president possessing the highest moral fiber, a charismatic flair for unifying public sentiment, and at the same time, a quiet authority which exudes trust and integrity. Now, it would be ludicrous to believe that everyone would be equally enthralled by such a perfect candidate. There are too many splintered factions within the two major parties, and voters are increasingly registering as independents. But former greats such as Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy overcame party lines and stiff resistance to bring together a tom country with their daring and even stylish leadership. Are there no true statesmen left? Maybe some do exist, but refuse to offer their personal lives up for media scrutiny. The search and destroy smear tactics of this ,, .

Perhaps genuine leaders can no longer survive in the political climate of the '90s. Through the strategic use of contributions and endorsements, special interest groups and king-making corporations often decide who will and who won 't be included in the race. It is unlikely that any candidate could make a viable run at the presidency without selling his or her soul in one form or another, or be publicly eviscerated for the most minute of past indiscretions. Enter self-made Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot, a candidate so filthy rich that he can't be bought or influenced by the same power brokers that put Ronald Reagan into office. Perot won' t even run unless enough signatures in each state put him on the ballot. As an independent, he promotes both conservative as well as liberal politics. Could Perot, unscathed by past political battles and untouchable by the special interest groups, be the dark horse candidate Americans are looking for? • Maybe there still are some true leaders out there, but will America elect them?

Contributor says selection is bias To the Editor: I just picked up the latest Denali and what a surprise! Like its past issues, one-third this time, many of the contributors work on the staff of the magazine. I was somehow under the impression this was an art magazine promoting and showcasing students at LCC. Admitted! y, these staffers are/were students but, there being so many pieces by the producers themselves smacks of favoritism. I have submitted several pieces, five times, but only one piece was published. Either Denali gets so few submissions they have to draw on their own talent, or they have incredibly high standards for the material, that so few qualify. Although I may be exaggerating, it seems to be a magazine for an exclusive audience and a select few who are promoting themselves. Let's see a little more variety and less ego next time. Alisa Anderson Reader vents anger at 'satire· To the Editor: I would like to respond to the satirewrittenbyMethuselahJones in your April 3 edition. Where do you get off, Mr. Jones, judging me. I have my hair short because I like it that way, not because I want to artificially impress any- one. I also see nothing wrong with the clothes my generation is wearing. We are free to choose whatever we want just as you are free to wear whatever you want. Sure, I hope to be making $100,000 a year someday, but that doesn't mean I don't care about what is going on in the world. I recycle, I have volunteered my time to charity, and I have even written letters to my congressman about protecting our rivers and other things I think are important. I drive a new car because I have worked my butt off to be able to afford it. I don't smoke marijuana because I think it is a stupid way to kill myself. If you think there is no artistry in today's music then it is because you have lost your open mind. You should listen to U2 or Metallica. They sound to me like they sing very well, and they play their instruments like they know what they are doing. It's a pity that you have become an island and cannot accept the ways to today's generation rather than be like your parents, who probably had a hard time accepting your ways. Darin R. Hirte Freedom of choice justified To the Editor: On Sunday, April 5th, I photographed a pro-choice march and rally (which later only turned out to be a simple back-drop for local politicians who are on the campaign trail). However, it did get me thinking about Pro-choice, and what it means exactly. Choice is defined in the dictionary as "the power, right, or liberty to choose; option." In this particular case it means allowing women themselves the right to choose whether or not they are in proper position to have and care for a child, not to mention love that child. I'm not going to preach that abortion is right or wrong. I'm a male, and in the end my decision shouldn't count. I'm on my soap box for a different reason. To defend choice. Not my choice, but everyone's choice. In my opinion, every decision made by a person, a group of people, or the Government is a step.

Why? Because you get that kind of satirical fluff from me anyway, and besides, they wanted me to lie. I don't like to lie. What I like to do is "fibricate," and there is a big difference. Lying hurts real people. "Fibricating" hurts imaginary characters who, only ten minutes before, were food particles swirling in my coffee cup. There are bad people out there and that's no lie. I've seen them myself. They try to control us through television. The commercial I saw the other day was trying to sell cars. It said, "We know what Americans want." But do we Americans really know what we want, or do we only know what the commercials tell us they know what we want? Ponder this. I watched the news today, oh boy! The OCA (Oregon Citizens Alliance) is trying to run the schools. No kidding. As I understood it, they would like to cut funding to any school that allowed homosexuality to be discussed in any manner other than in the terms of bans or lynch mobs. Marshmallows optional. The OCA wants teachers to stop portraying gay protests as examples of free speech and freedom of assembly, and start condemning certain groups of non-violent human beings as sinister threats to our innocent children who cannot think for themselves. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't colleges supposed to promote, advocate, and in general, further the advancement of free thinking?

"----- The Torch April l O, 199'2 Page 5 Part-time teachi ng trend grows Part-time instruction is a rising concern among community colleges across the State of Oregon. As the number of part-timers grows, so does the worry that relying too heavily on part-time instruction could weaken educational programs. College officials contend that part-timers provide flexibility in instruction. The college can provide instructors when demand is high, and scale back when enrollment wanes. The cost. of providing classes using part-time instructors is also less than when using full-timers, both in salary and benefits. But many part-timers see the college's flexibility as their insecurity. Their money-saving techniques make paying the bills hard todo. In its April meeting, LCC's Board of Education decided to closely follow the issue of parttime instruction in the future. by PHIL PARKS for the Torch Part-time employees working in the Cooperative Work Experience Department (CWE) find their jobs fulfilling, despite the frustrations that accompany working part-time. Allan Kluber, a coordinator for the Proficiency Skills Injured Workers Program, is presently the only employee in the CWE department working part-time, according to Carol Woodman, administrative assistant for the CWE Department. However, in the past, the department employed two other part-timers, Steve Candee and John del Nero, both of whom are now full-time LCC instructors. Hired in the fall of 1991, Kluber says he's happy to be working part-time because he's currently completinghismaster 'sdegreein counseling at the University of Oregon. He says he is interested in working full-time for LCC in the future, should a position become available. Kluber says he works with students in the Injured Workers Program to discover and resolve problems they may have in their classes or at their job sites. He also assists in placing some of these students in jobs and tries to make sure their employment experiences are complete. Candee, now a full-time instructor in LCC 's Social Sciences Department, says he worked parttime for five years before he was appointed to his current position last fall. ''Teaching part-time was fulfilling in that although I put out a lot, I felt like I got it back from the students. It wasn't fulfilling in that there wasn't enough of it ( teaching) when I was working part-time," he said. Candee says, "There's a 'significantdisparity' toworkingparttime." But he says he chose to stay on, hoping eventually to obtain a full-time position. "Working part-time was frustrating because I felt I was putting in full-time hours for part-time pay," says Candee. "I sang on weekends for extra income to pay the bills." Del Nero worked part-time for CWE and as an instructor for three and a half years before he obtained his full-time position in the fall of 1990. He continues to work as CWE's counseling and networking advisor for the criminal justice program. He says working part-time was difficult and lacked medical benefits, but it was worth it because LCC eventually employed him full-time. Kluber, Candee, and del Nero all say LCC supported their efforts as part-time employees as strongly as it supports those of the full-time employees on campus. And all three say the pay scale for part-time employees is fair, even though it's not as lucrativeas the full-time scale. "That's just the way it is," del Nero says. It's Chrysler Corporation's College Assistance Program. In ADDITION to model rebates and special financing programs offered to the public, we're now making a select group of vehicles available to graduating students with a $500 additional cash back. To qualify: • College seniors who are enrolled or wilrreceive !heir degree within 6 months at an accredited c:oUege or university • 1991 & 1992 graduates who obtained a 2-year, 4-year or post graduate degree from a college, university, Lf.S. senric:e academy or nursing program. Part-timers enjoy increased moral support by JASON BOYER for the Torch Part-time instructors in the Health Occupations Department say they are not benefiting monetarily, but the college is providing more moral support than in the past. Administrative Assistant Jane Wojick says the number varies but about 25 percent of the instructors in Health Occupations are part-time employees. DentalHygienistandpart-time instructor for the department Brenda Smith says the college is doing a better job of providing for part-timers needs. She says she would seriously consider teaching full time if she had the chance, but doesn't think that chance will come along. Smith taught two classes winter term and is teaching one class spring term. She works 20 to 25 hours a week, receives $17 .50 per hour, but receives no insurance benefits. Full-time instructor Matt Shubert says, "I encourage the use of part-time employees . . . they really bring vitality to the program." Shubert is a 20 year veteran of instruction at Lane. In that period of time he has taught on both a part-time and full-time basis. He says he doesn't feel the college supports the teaching efforts of part-timers in the same way it does full-timers. "The priority still weighs toward the full-time instructors." The college recently increased part-time salaries in the Health Occupations Department. The department is now using an hourly pay scale instead of the fixed number per credit. Shubert says this pay scale is "more equitable" than the previous one. Despite this, Smith says, 'They (LCC) have a long way to go monetarily." $8,499 500 500 College Grad Price $7,499 •t#Jl STEVE MA.RTIN KEVIN K DANNY GLOVER AQRAN D 1 ~a~XQ~ 2300 W. 7th, Eugene-343-8811 Page6 April 10, 1992 The Torch by CATE JOHNSON Torch Staff Writer Some instructors in the Media Arts and Technology Department take on additional jobs off campus because they are only employed on a part-time basis. According to Bob Prokop, Media Arts and Technology Department coordinator, there are five or six part-time instructors who teach approximately three classes per term. Courses range from beginning photography to radio and TV broadcasting. "Because these instructors are only employed on a part-time basis, many are forced to find additional off campus employment," says Prokop. "If I could become a full-time employee, I would not have to have my other two off campus jobs," says photography instructor Dan Welton. Welton works in a camera shop, and he operates an independent photography business. Welton finds the different pay scales for part-time instructors unfair. "We work just as hard as the full-time instructors," says Welton.

Welton, who has taughtforsix years in the Media Arts and Technology Department and 14 years in Continuing Education, says the support he receives from his department is excellent. And the rapport among instructors is outstanding. Welton does not feel, however, that he has received adequate support from the school. According to Welton, he has tried "throwing stones" himself, but nothing has happened. "I will continue to teach part-time and work atmy other two off-campus jobs," says Welton. "I find teaching worth it." Broadcasting instructor Michael Maze is also a part-time employee in the Media Arts and Technology Department with an off campus job. Maze is a teacher's assistant in the broadcasting program at Sheldon High School as well as teaching a heavy load at LCC. "Last year," says Maze, "I was ontheLCC campus about40hours per week. This year, because of my job at Sheldon, which is almost full-time itself, I am only able to spendabouthalfthattimeatLCC." Maze says he feels that the different pay scales for full and part-time employees is unfair. Maze, who has taught at LCC for 12 years, describes the support from the Media Arts and Technology Department, as well as the rest of the school, as "real good." Prokop, who teaches two to three classes per term as well as performs his duties as department coodinator, says there is an even number of part and full-time employees in the Media Arts and Technology Department. "There needs to be a balance between the part and full-time instructors," says Prokop. April is Community College Month Hundreds march for choice Photo by Dana Krizan Pro-choice demonstrators voice their opinions. by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH Torch Lead Writer Hundreds of marchers rallied in Eugene April 5 to show their support for legal abortion and reproductive rights for women. Umbrella-toting politicians joined forces with students in tie-dye; fathers pushing babies in strollers walked beside gay activists with the word "fag" emblazoned on their backs; women, men and children many carrying signs exclaiming "Abort the court," and "No going back to back alley abortions!" - created a human chain from the U of O campus to the Federal Building in downtown Eugene. Among the marchers was Mary Wendy Robens, a candidate for Secretary of State. She said the rain couldn't dampen the spirits of the marchers. "I think in Oregon we've heard the phrase 'rain on our parade' a lot, but it's never stopped independent-minded people," she said as she walked along with the high-energy crowd. "Abortion rights - the right of women to choose - is a right people feel very.strongly ·about. They recognize that it's a core, right at the heart of a woman's identity. The woman's right to control her own body is being threatened," Roberts continued. Once downtown, Kitty Piercy, director of the National Abortion Rights Action League, greeted the crowd from a podium in front of the Federal Building. "The people who are going to continue to suffer from the vetocrazed Bush administration," shouted Piercy, "are the poor Correction In theApril 3edition of the Torch, the News Bits section contained a 'bit' which stated that taxes are due on May 9. This date is incorrect. This year, as it has been every year, taxes are due on April 15. Actually, May 9 is Tax Freedom Day. and their children. It does make a difference. The "veto king" must go!" Congressman Peter Defazio took his tum speaking to the crowd of nearly a thousand, giving a biting definition of the word "choice." "The American Heritage Dictionary defines choice as the power, right or liberty to choose," Defazio explained," Unfortunately, the Supreme Court and the Reagan-Bush-Quayle administration have a new definition from the 'right-wing Heritage Foundation dictionary' where the choice belongs only to ideologists in black robes or zealots appointed to positions of power!" Other speakers included Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate Harry Lonsdale and Congressman Les AuCoin; Secretary of State Phil Keisling; SecretaryofStatecandidate,Bob Kholos; Attorney General candidate Ted Kulongoski; District 41 candidate Cynthia Wooten; Bill Morrisette, Mayor of Springfield; and Rabbi Myron Kinberg, of Temple Beth Israel in Eugene. Speeches from candidates touched on many volatile issues such as the Oregon Citizen's Alliance, the "Gag rule", which prohibits federal heal th employees from speaking about abortion to patients and other election platforms. Mary Belloti, a Portland memberof Planned Parenthood, said many at the rally were discouraged because the issue of abortion seemed to be shunted aside by the political candidate's rhetoric. "The point of this rally," said Belloti, "is to remind people that pro-choice issues are in danger. The only way we can save them is through political action." Mary Widoff, education director for Planned Parenthood, offered closing remarks to the crowd. "It's high time Mr. Bush read our lips. We arc pro-choice, we are the majority, and we will be voting in November!" McKenzie Highway area offers hiking, sight-seeing by KIM MCCAULEY Torch Staff Writer For those wishing to explore the wild on a limited travel and time budget, a short drive on Highway 126 (McKenzie Highway) offers a multitude of hiking and sight-seeing opportunities. Simply follow the McKenzie Highway east out of Springfield until the McKenzie River Ranger station sign comes into view. Park the car at the station and lace up the hiking boots. From this location, hikers will locate the first of several access points to the McKenzie River Trail. This trail, in its entirety, meanders alongside the McKenzie River for 26.5 miles, but also offers many easy access points for hikers seeking a less exhaustive, more moderate journey. The McKenzie RiverTrail climbs from its initial l ,450feetof elevation to nearly 3,200 feet. It spans across several side canyons and ravines via log bridges. Many of the bridges were created from mammoth logs. The lower parts of the trail pass through stands of old growth Douglas fir trees. As it approaches the upper reaches of the canyon, hikers get a million-dollar spectacular view of waterfalls created by ancient lava flows. Sahalie Falls has been called the McKenzie's most magnificent waterfall. It descends I 00 feet over a lava dam and plummets another 40 feet in a series of cascading steppes. The name "Sahalie" comes from Chinook dialect meaning "high." Koosah Falls is accessible with a short trek from Sahalie Falls, by a minor connecting path. "Koosah," also from Chinook dialect, carries the meaning "sky" or "heaven." Several overnight campgrounds are located near any of the trail access points for those wishing to seek out overnight accommodations.

A land where ideas and GOOD thoughts become reality. A world in which the only ingredients of creation are a computer, some basic techno equipment, and a mind. The mind is the key. Is it possible that the mind has had the ability for Virtual Reality all along? Could it be through experience that the human mind has lost the keys to those "doors" for its own protection? The idea is simple; A place where mankind can go and touch or experience anything imaginable. But the possibilities are complex, and even dangerous, as shown by "The Lawnmower Man." "The Lawnmower Man" looks at the potential of Virtual Reality from video games to world domination. Jobe, played by Jeff Fahey, is a mentally challenged man in a small town. He is teased and picked on by most of its inhabitants. Dr. Angelo, played by Pierce Brosnan is a scientist working on a "top secret" experiment involving Virtual Reality and war training. Angelo has been looking for the chance to use Virtual Reality to improve the human mind. Jobe joins in on Angelo's research project and soon becomes the research project. His mind begins to advance rapidly. But then something goes terribly wrong. The performance of Brosnan and Fahey is outstanding. Both portray a range of emotions that are difficult to find in many modem movies. Fahey, however, goes one step further. His character not only changes emotions, but ages as his intelligence improves. From the mentality of an eight year-old to that of a god, Fahey remains completely believable. The performance was beautiful, the concept was genius, but the script, unfortunately, left great room for improvement. "The Lawnmower Man" is being billed as a story by Steven King. In truth, the film is based on a short story by King, but is written by Gemel Everett and the movie's director Brett Leonard. Leonard and Everett simply took this great idea and slapped it somewhere between sex and violence. "The Lawnmower Man" plays at Cinemark's Movies 12 in the Gateway Mall, Springfield, for a few more weeks.

SPRINGFIELD 747-5411 McKenzie Theater owner nostalgic about projectors by LYNN REA Torch A&E Editor But some tlrings will not be changed, like the 1930s vintage projectors. Dave Gibson has fond memories for the movie houses of his childhood in Los Angeles-- The Orpheum, The Million Dollar, and The Broadway. "The carbon-arc light source is the type of light that people remember when they were growing up ... it's perfectforclassic movies and new ones as well." "I ,went to a lot of movies in some beautiful theaters -- I'd look at the movie theaters as much as I looked at the movies." Today he indulges his craving for both old movies and movie houses. In July of 1991, Gibson plunged $75,000 of inheritance money into the abandoned movie house on Main street in downtown Springfield, buying the building outright. Built in 1945, the theater has possessed several identities over the years including the Fine Arts, and Mercury. The first thing Gibson did was to restore the theater's original name back on the Marquis -- McKenzie. During the 50s, it could be filled with screaming teenagers, experiencing their first sci-fi special effects movie. In the 60s, the theater was one offew showing adult films. Over the past year Gibson, his wife Fibes, and their son Ron, have overhauled the McKenzie's lighting and plumbing. They've also remodeled to provide easier access for the disabled. "One of the most important things to me is how the movie theaters were in the old days. A kind of 'Glad to see you. Come on in, you're welcome and appreciated here."' "Those multi-plexes don't shout 'movie' tome. They're more like a screening room." Gibson's recipe for success is offering a variety of film genres. Onenightmaybe "Gone With the Wind," on another night a 50s scifi 'trashy' classic such as "It ... The Thing from Beyond Space," may be shown. Gibson says the projectionists he employs get a kick out of working with the antiquated equipment. The "obsolete" projectors add a certain amount of nostalgia to the whole operation, he says. "If I switched to new equipment, my projectionists would be gone in a flash!" The McKenzie's lobby is now an eclectic mix of nostalgic bits and pieces amid the newer simulated wood paneling installed by a previous owner. Cardboard cut-outs of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean greet movie-goers as they buy their popcorn covered with -- believe it or not -- real butter. Gibson makes a point of greeting customers personally. ·Jazz Kitchen· gets cookin' He also plans to show the Academy Award winning film "Silence of the Lambs," in the near future in the hopes of drawing a large audience. Gibson dreams of one day seeing the theater filled to capacity. "When there's a whole crowd of people ... they're laughing or cheering or applaudiilg or shrieking with fear -- it's like the place is alive." This week the McKenzie Theater will show two animated science fiction films: Japanese import "Akira," and the cult classic "Heavy Metal." Both films are rated 'R'. •The McKenzie Theater is located at 630 Main St, Springfield. For more information call 7478349.

With each step forward someone is given more choices. Each step back the opposite happens. With this logic I concur that the mandatory seatbelt law is a step back. I personally always wear a seatbelt but who has the right to take that decision away from me? The State? If everyone is to be considered equal and have equal rights, then how is someone allowed to make a decision like that? The real point I'm trying to get at is the smoking problem here on campus. As of March 30, all smokers had their right to choose where they smoked revoked. Why? Because others were being denied their right to breathe clean air. An argument says smokers made the choice to start that nasty habit on their own, therefore forfeiting all rights to others. First of all, if you've never been addicted to smoking you cannot understand how hard it is to quit (and that's if you want to). And secondly, just by making a decision like that doesn't make you a second-class citizen. So if everyone has all these rights and they conflict with each other what can be done? Simple, everyone must compromise. Not just the smokers, but everyone. How? LCC needs to acknowledge that there are two different kinds of pe0ple, just like there are two sexes. Then they need to build rooms to accommodate both, just like restrooms. As I see it, it's the only fair solution. It's going to cost the school money. But fair is fair. Dana Krizan Ignorance is bliss, says writer To the Editor, I don't see corrupt politicians filling their pockets in blatant disregard of the law, and I am happy. I don't see ineffectual leaders driving our country into the ground, and I am happy. I don't see all forms of media being persuaded by a propaganda machine, and I am happy. I don't see silly laws that tell me what I can ingest, and I am happy. I don't see women fearing the loss of reproductive rights, and I am happy. I don't see the growing violence in our cities, and I am happy. I don't see any hope for humankind, and I am ecstatic. Ignorance IS bliss. Bob Madyn Pass predicts, "theexpresssetvicewill almost exclusively carry LCC students" to and from the college. Jones disagrees with the theory that ridership will double in the event of a group pass. "LTD is covering its bases. They're concerned with exponential growth." Pangbomsaysanotherreason for the $8.99 figure for LCC, as opposed to the under $6 U of O students pay, is due to the more than $500,000 the University pays in payroll taxes. LCC currently is exempt from such a tax, and therefore contributes nothing to the overall capital operating costs of LTD. If LCC were to contribute to the payroll tax, says Pangborn, a reduction of approximately $1.15 per student would apply to the $8.99 cost. CLASSIFIED ADS ARE FREE TO LCC students and staff, 15 word maximum and will be printed on a space available basis All other ads are 15 cents per word pe r issue, paid in advance. The Torch reserve s the right not to run and ad. Deadline fo r Oassified ads is 5 p.m. Friday forpublica tion in the following Friday's issue, NO EXCEPTIONS. But under the proposal, approximately $26,000 of the LCC cost would go to LTD for capital replacement. According to Vice President of Student Setvices BobMarshall,ifthecollegewere to subscribe to the tax, it would "have to pay $134,278 to save $26,000." Marshall says the payroll tax is not an option. Although all parties involved say a compromise before the April 17 deadline is still possible, many express guarded concerns that a realistic solution will come too late. "This process is literally coming down to the wire," says Jones. "We are still a ways away from what the students feel is a reasonable figure .. . and this is a student decision," says Marshall, who has been a facilitator throughout the negotiating process.

FOR SALE In the event that the deadline passes without movement from eitherside, WoodlandandJones say alternative plans are at the ready. One option would be--for the ASLCC to purchase a large quantity of bus tokens and then sell them to students at a subsidized rate. Another, according to Woodland, would be for student government to put a lower figure on the ballot than what the LTD board has indicated it will accept. If students voted the measure in, then the ASLCC would subsidize the remainder of the fee -- with, Woodland hopes, some help from the college's general fund. He says mention has even been made of bringing in a mediator as a last ditch effort. "I expect within the next week we'll see some sort of decision. tion.

I'D LIKE TO SEE more recycling on SONY TRINITRON COLOR TV. 17 An exhibit displaying the every-day lives for about one billion residents of China will be displayed in LCC's library through April 22. Thanks to the China Studies Department at Linfield College, "Windows into China" has toured Oregon libraries for almost two years. Through photographs and artifacts not commonly seen in America, it covers a wide variety of topics ranging from photos of traditional wedding ceremonies to a display of colorful shoes and clothing. "This exhibit is a very good way to talk about folk art," says coordinator Rosario Aglialoro. "We need to know more about how China lives now." Aglialoro, who has spent about two years in China, took nearly half of the photographs on display. The other photos were donated by various friends and Chinese photographers. The exhibit is funded by an $180,000 grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust. Aglialoro says he's focusing on Oregon community college campus exhibits in Oregon this year, hoping to "spark some interest." According to Algialoro, he would like to reorganize the exhibit for children when he completes the college tour. "It's a good vehicle for children. "We are real glad LCC was interested," says Aglialoro. "It takes a lot of work." by CATE JOHNSON Torch Staff Writer LABRADOR RETRIEVERS for adop- $150. 747-8595. 0 Art exhibit gives true picture of Chinese life continued from page 1 Campus ministry.
