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

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

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

"CareerForce 2000: Explore the Possibilities"
is the theme for LCC 's second annual campuswide career fair, April 15.
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.

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?

until 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15. The door
prize giveaway begins at 1 p.m.

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

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.

Mondo-Mudsling ·92.offers little choice tovOters
Public frustration, mistrust, and fear of the unknown
are a few of the underlying fears inherent in the 1992
political arena, and for good reason.
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

nation's self-righteous watchdogs are enough to discourage even the most saintly public officials.
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? Probably not.

"I'd like to have a person of wisdom, and courage - moral courage. An ability to lead and to sell his
ideas to the American public and to
get his programs through Congress.
It doesn't do much good to have
ideas, even if they're the best ideas
in the world, if he can't get support.
Also, a person with energy and a
capacity to work hard for what he
holds important ... A hardworking,
~nergetic, wise,competent, capable
fellow or woman. He should be
held up as a moral example to the
nation, a good family man or a good
mother, a good family person."

"Ideally he would be able to combine both the qualities of the symbolic president. Theonewhostands
as a symbol, as a communicator...
Someone who can attract public
support on that level. The second
quality would be that of a capable
administrator. Like Carter, who became obssessed with all the details
of the presidency and had very limited communication skills. Reagan
had exceptional skills in tenns of
his charisma and his ability to gain
public support, but had very little
grasp of policy. Someone who
understands the predicament of our
political culture."

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.

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.

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. Whether it's a step forward
or backwards depends on that

I refused outright to contribute to the April Fool's ''Trash"
issue of the Torch. 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

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? Are higher institutions of learning to be

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."

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. For an average of two
classes per term, Welton says he
spends about sevenhours per week

college required minimum is only
about four and one-half.
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.

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.

The Jefferson Dancers, a nationally known
ensemble composed of the best of the best from
Jefferson High School's dance program, will
perform at the Hult Center Soreng Theater, April
16 and 17.
Dancers audition for the school company

Virtual Reality -- a place built
within the walls of a computer
program. 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. If you're just
looking for the typical film of today and some light entertainment,
this is the picture for you.

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.

Spaulding Gray will bring his contemporary monologues to

decision. 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.

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.

predicts, "theexpresssetvicewill

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.

But under the proposal, approximately $26,000 of the LCC

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.

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.

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."

OSPIRG, along with other students and community groups across the country, will sponsor the eighth Annual Hunger Cleanup on
April 11 to fight hunger and homelessness
while also beautifying the communities around
us. The Cleanup is like a walk-a-thon except,
instead of simply walking to raise funds, you
will be helping the Eugene community by
volunteering for a few hours to clean a playground, fix a homeless shelter, or paint a food
shelter. All funds raised will go to local and
national organizations which provide immediate relief and work toward long-term solutions to the problems that keep people impoverished. If you would like to participate or
make a contribution to the Cleanup, contact
Dalene Lovie at ext. 2166.

SPEAK WITH CANDIDATE
There will be a live tele-conference through
satellite link-up with U.S. Presidential Candidate Jerry Brown. The April 11 conference
will be in LCC's Forum Building, room 308,
at 4:30 p.m. It will give concerned or.curious
community members an opportunity to ask
Brown questions concerning issues related to
his candidacy. For more information, contact
Ben Bochner, the 4th Precinct chair, at 6831692.
