Lane Community College Group bus pass proposal won't appear on ballot by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Despite recent progress in negotiations with LTD for a group bus pass for Lane students, the Student Senate voted by consensus on April 23 not to include the measure on the spring ASLCC election ballot. LCC's chief negotiators, Martin Lewis and Vincent Jones, recommended that the student government reject LTD's latest offer of $8.67 per student per term due to its relative! yhigh dollar amount. Comparatively, U of O students will be asked to re-approve their 5 year-old group bus pass program this spring -- at rates under $6 per student. Members of the Senate said that while the $8 .67 is a good deal for bus riders, it would be unfair to assess the cost to students who cannot or do not utilize bus service. Nevertheless, negotiations will continue until both parties reach a mutually agreeable figure. Jones says there is still a slim chance a special election could be held before the end of May in the event of further progress. "We will go to the students with a special election only when the price is in the best interests of those students," says Jones.

LCC "safe" for one more year Photo by Arthur Mason by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Editor's note: This is an introduction to an upcoming series exploring the alternatives LCC will consider in the face ofa diminishing.funding base brought about by Measure 5. While most other colleges around the state are in the continuing process of program -and staff reductions in response to the Measure 5 funding gap, LCC expects to keep its programs intact -- for at least another year. College administrators hope to postpone the inevitable cuts in programs and services until fiscal year 1993-94, when they project an estimated $3-7 million financial shortfall. If the state legislature allows the college its November, 1991 voter-approved tax base increase of $3.75 million in 1993, administrators expect a deficit of just over $3 million. "Our biggest problem right now isn't future fiscal problems, it's the uncertainty," says LCC President Jerry Moskus. However, Moskus admits some reductions in programs -- which means staff lay-offs -- will eventually take place unless the state mitigates Measure 5 in some way. He says the college has not convened discussions on specific program cuts so far. Before it does so, says Moskus, the college will first establish criteria for "reshaping the institution."

The change is causing confusion and an increased workload in the Financial Aid office, a situation which has both students and staff agitated, says Director of Financial Aid Linda Waddell. The college plans to covert all existing data to its new Hewlett Packard mainframe system by July 1. But the Financial Aid office must use the new system now in order to handle its 1992-93 financial aid cases. At the same time, the office staff is completing its 1991-92 financial aid cases on the old system. Waddell compares the situation to assembling an airplane while bouncing down the runway. "We're designing the plane as we're taking off," says Linda Dewitt, associate director of Financial Aid. All of the 1992-93 case files are stored in the new system, says DeWitt, while all records filed before that are stored in the old system. The staff uses the computer files to track documents, analyze student financial need, write award letters, make award payments, and determine if students are properly enrolled. But without previous years' information to draw upon, the new computer cannot manage some of the functions it has in the past, such as document tracking. Until the old files are stored in the new system, the additional workload must be performed manually by staff members, says DeWitt, which slows down the award process. The office is also unable to provide the detailed information it has in the past about students' award dates. Further complicating the situation, say Waddell and Dewitt, is the fact that the staff has been swamped with phone calls and visits to the office by students asking questions and expressing concerns about next year's financial aid packages and awards, which are late this year. The additional time needed to deal with curious students is taking the staff away from its job of disbursing financial aid and acclimating the office to the new system, they say. The staff also has to deal with about lOOOmorefinancial aid applications this year than it did last year, says Dewitt. Between tailoring the new system, processing additional applications, and fielding increased student concern, the staff isn't making much headway on financial aid claims, says Waddell. "We're doing the best we can," says DeWitt, but the office needs student cooperation. Having to deal with a high volume of student questions becomes counter-productive. DeWitt says she anticipates award letters will be mailed in June -- two months later than usual -- but she cannot provide specific information beyond that. The staff is considering posting information displays which will provide general information about where students are in the process, says De Witt. Hopefully, this will prevent students from calling the office to ask questions that staff members cannot answer. "Ultimately, it's (the new system) really going to speed us up," says DeWitt. But until that time, she says, the staff needs to be left alone to do its job. Lane seeks nominations for Instructor of the Year an instructor receives and also uses a criteria checklist.

According to Sally Meadow, administrative assistant for Student Activities, the adult high school and GED graduation will be held on June 4 and the college graduationonJune5. The deadline for students to file for graduation and have theirnames • printed in the program is May 1. "The May 1deadline is really important," says Meadow. "Students who do not make the deadline can still go through the graduation process - but they won't have their name in the program." Students do not need to order tickets this year, however, invitations should be limited to immediatefamily andclosefriends, s.~ s Meadow. "It is a beautiful ceremony and students should be encouraged to attend. Some people think it's just boring, but if they knew how nice it is they would go," says Meadow. Business major Rodney· Johnson says he is excited and looking forward to the event. "It's a dream come true," says Johnson. "It's been a long struggle for me, but it was something I really wanted and I'm glad I was able to stick with it and finish." The ceremony will feature Jack Powell, head of the English nepartment, as master of ceremonies and ''up beat" Luke Barber as the speaker. The music_will be performed by John Workman on the piano, Dennis Caffey on the drums, andN athan Waddell on the bass. The trio willplayWorkman'spiece,titled "Blues for Philip." Also at the ceremony, the award for the Outstanding Instructor of the Year Award will be presented, as well as the Student of the Year Award. Caps and gowns will be available from June 1 through June 5. "It's really important students try to get them early and not wait until Friday afternoon. We do not give out caps and gowns at the Hult Center," says Meadow. According to Meadow, students should be at the Hult Center with their caps and gowns by 6:30p.m. She advises students to leave purses and personal articles with someone before the ceremony as there is no storage at the Hult Center.

The college is financing the $1.3 million system at roughly $300,000 per year. But Keizur says the payments are equal to those the college makes on its current system, so the cost will not draw additional funds out of the college budget. "The college is getting much more for the money," he says. Computer information will be more readily available to those who need it, will increase the college's computing capacity, and will expand the college's ability to educate. In addition to installing the Hewlett Packard system, the college is rewiring the campus with fiber-optic cable to expand the college computer network and increase the capacity for data communication, says Keizur. But the replacement of the old with the new is a "stressful time" which takes a lot of patience and extra effort on the part of college employees, he says. Converting all of the college's existing data banks is very time-consuming and sometimes doubles employee workloads, as is the case with the Financial Aid and Admissions Offices, which are already using the new system. "That's ... a hump we need to get over," says Keizur. The result will be worth it, though. "We'll be much more responsive," he says, to campus needs.

Most dentistry graduates enter a career field with a 95 percent employment rate within three months of receiving a degree. One dental hygiene student, Chris Bigham, has already accepted a job with a local dentist. "I take the regional board (exam) on June 20. Ifl pass the boards,! start my job on July l." When asked about a starting salary, Bigham says, "In Eugene, the going hourly rate is $17-21 per hour." But, as with all things worthwhile, a high degree of initiative and motivation is required for LCC's Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting Programs. Simply being accepted into the programs is an accomplishment. , The Dental Assisting Program, with an intense nine-month degree curriculum, quit sending out applications two weeks ago because it received 107 applications for the 30positionsopenfor 199293. The application deadline isn't until mid-July. "Every year the program is full. For the last two years. it has filled two months before the deadline date," says Beth Webb, coordinator for Dental Assisting. She attributes the student demand to the caliber of the program and the high employment rates. The dental assisting curriculum includes the study of radiology (oral X-rays), lab work, and working directly with dentists and hygienists. Webb says assistants are being assigned more duties in oral care in the workplace than in the past, subsequently, their training requirements have increased. jority of general courses. Of the 150 applications received last year, only 20 students gained entry. "We had 23 credits fall term, whichgaveusnosocial life,"says Jessica -Huttula, who is nearing graduation as a dental assistant. She admits the intensity of the course load is tough. and says. "The ones that are too young and can't handle it washout in the first few weeks." After acceptance, students take 10 to 17 credit hours per term, with hands-on clinical time gradually increasing as they learn new skills. "By the second year, hygiene students are spending 12 to 18 hours per week in the lab," says Hagan. Webb says the washout rate is about six students per year. She says students start out practicing on each other, then progress to children from local schools. Eventually, the students work on patients from the general public, at greatly reduced costs. LCC students are encouraged to take advantage of the service. The Dental Hygiene Program is even more demanding. It's a two-year program in which many of the students already have worked as dental assistants. Graduates can expect relatively high wages and a greater sense of independence. "Competition is very stiff to get into the program," says Dental Hygiene Coordinator Sharon Hagan. To be considered for entry, applicants must have already completed all their science requirements - as well as the ma- Hygienists provide teeth cleaning. root planning, curettage sealants (a process in which a thin plastic coating is applied to the tooth to prevent decay), fluoride treatments, and advanced periodontal care. Recently, the two programs combined to service over 90 kids Opposite forces to unite in effort to face economic, environmental challenges byLYNNREA Torch Editorial Staff In an attempt to find common ground among environmental and timber issues, environmentalists, government officials, union representatives, displaced timber workers and other interested parties will meet at LCC May 2 for a conference called "Facing the Challenge Together: Creating Economic Transition in the Pacific Northwest." "The media has made it the owls vs. jobs;' says conference organizer and LCC Instructor Jerome Garger. "The issue is more complex than that. The solution is somewhere in the middle." In 1990 LCC hosted the first economic transitions conference, bringing together 225 participants from diverse backgrounds. According to Garger a past student attending the event said, "In my group there were an environmentalist, a worker being retrained at LCC, a private mill owner, a student, a political science professor, and a logger. We all learned from each other. There seemed to be a natural bonding between the workers and the environmentalists. although the press has promoted the idea that these two groups were diametrically opposed." This year the conference will include two panels of speakers followed by small group workshops on related topics. Corrections In the March 6 issue of the Torch.the story "Dislocated workers receive unsolicited gift" referred to Dislocated workers as" injured" workers. The workers were not injured in their field, they were dislocated or laid off. In the April 10 ASLCC meeting article, the Torch reported that Kim Gallager would be attending a lesbian, gay, and bisexual conference in Beaverton. Instead she will be attending a displaced homemakers conference in Newport and JoAnn Wilson will attend the Beaverton conference. "Our resources are being extracted by means of environmentally devastating methods, and the lives of loyal hard working people are being trashed by an out-of-control economic system based on maximum short term profit," says Garger. "Education is the key to formulating sustainable policies that meet ecological. economic and social necessities. LCC has led the way in this area creating the opportunity for civil discussion of complex, divisive issues." The conference, which takes place from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m., is $7 for the general public, $5 for students, seniors, and the unemployed, and includes a light breakfast and lunch. Preregistration is advised. Childcare is available but must be arranged in advance. To register, or obtain more information, call LCC's President's Office at 726-2200. SURATA SOYFOODS COOPERATIVE Hagan says the service aids both parties. "It helps the students get good clinical experience, and the children get dental care they would not otherwise receive." LCC's Dental clinic provides all routine periodontal care, with the exception of filling cavities and oral surgery. When advanced care is needed, the students work under the supervision of a staff dentist. To make an appointment, call 726-2206.

I held numerous student offices including senator which I am listing at the end of the letter because I want to stress the amount of time and commitment that may be required of a member of student government, especially if you have an apathetic student council or a large turnover of senators, as happened in my era. I was involved in some capacity with three ASLCC administrations, and have seen the good, the bad, and the apathetic in each. ASLCC leaders are truly the image that legislators will have of the student body as a whole. Their ability to bring together s~eer numbers is crucial to your suecess. I worked with past administralions that suffered from lack of interest, lack of initiative, promotion of personal agendas, back stabbing, and lack of sharing. I worked with one administration that did great things that are now generally taken for granted: computers for student government, the Student Resource Center, LCC Student Housing Guide, outreach to other community colleges, Teacherofthe Year,MartinLuther King Program, community projects, and expanded SRC services, canned food drive, just to name a few. I still care very deeply about ASLCC government and student funding, and even though I am not currently attending LCC, Hollow closely the matters that affect the school. This is why I am writing to endorse Vincent Jones and Nickie King for president and vice president of ASLCC.

Just what I used to think--that is, until my unemployment ran out, the ex tension ran out, Mr. Bush wouldn't sign a new one, and the Feds lowered the debt ceiling for student loans to community college students right in the middle of my schooling. No warning--no notice. I was a hair's breath away from being evicted from my home and living in a dumpster. I paid taxes for 20 years. I had a career -- then due to health issues I had to go back to school-and felt flushed down the toilet by the system that professed to help. Even though I qualified for maximum aid, and was a certified dislocated worker. I have attended LCC since 1988, and have just a few classes left for an AA, and I will not be receiving any more financial aid from LCC, but will still be receiving aid for the Management of Human Resources program I will be attending. I decided that I had better get off the dime and get Cultural Director looks to light student fire Forum by STEVE BAUERS ASLCC Cultural Director Politics is something we all have to deal with. Some people love it, some people think they have nothing to do with it, but it is something we have to deal with sooner or later. As part of my education here at Lane, hands-on experience in politics became of interest to me. I wanted to learn how the systeir .:"rks from the inside. Even though my P ,ajor is fine arts I knew that the workings of politics would end up effecting me, even though sculpture is as far from government as you can get. I started my political education by running for a senator's seat with ASLCC in Spring '91, and last term I was appointed Cultural Director. It was the politics within the Art Department that prompted me to increase my know ledge of politics. Several Lane students, including myself applied for the Sculpture Aide position that is filled by a new person each year. The job in the past was designed to help a student from LCC with two years of Page4 April 24, 1992 sculpture to extend his/her knowledge of materials and use of tools. Last year the job went to Tim Outman, a master's graduate from the U of O's art program. The year before that it went to a professional artist named Gary Stanfield, and the year before that to a bachelor's of fine arts graduate named David Chalet. Even though each of these people did a good job, the position didn't aide an LCC student. The Art Department just appointed the aide for next year. In the running were two very qualified students from our sculpture program. Andy has been taking classes at Lane for over two years. He told the selection committee that his focus is to further his education and that he would most likely be transferring to another college. Steve, the other applicant has about two years at Lane and was willing to stay for this job. Both students have won the prestigious League of Innovations competition for their sculpture. Steve is well liked in the Art Department. The first year Steve was here he asked advice of both instructors regularly. But this year one of the instructors in the Art Department cut relations with Steve, and blocked the The Torch hiring of Steve during the selection process. This same instructor had a contest among his independent studies students and didn't work with the other instructors in the process, there by alienating half of the students in the independent studies program. He personally made the selection, and the project is being built with only one student entering a viable entry. My reason for telling you my stories from the Art Department is to light a fire. In every department on campus there must be similar stories of how campus politics have gotten in the way of students. We can do something about it! This college is supported by us the students. Without us the college can't exist. Students have the power to create positive change on campus due to the face that we are the most numerous group. The way to start making change is to VOTE!! ASLCC elections are this term. This year positive changes have started to be made on campus. We have informed candidates running for several of the ASLCC positions. Get involved, do your part and vote! The changes are yours to make. involved or I may still end up at "Bag Lady U." Our ASLCC government has GOT to pull together for credibility not only with our own LCC Board and Administration, but as a strong voice among the other community colleges to form the strength in numbers, and the unified voice it will take to sway our government and save vital funding. I have great respect and admirationfor any student who chooses to run for an ASLCC position, knowing the time, dedication, and energy they will invest, and the depth of courage it takes to put yours·eif out there for scrutiny. There can, however, be only one president, and one vice president. For me, two candidates stand out as exceptional, and that is why I have chosen get involved, and to support and promote the candidacies of Vincent Jones and Nickie King for these positions. I believe they each have the qualities and abilities necessary for these tough jobs. They have been at school long enough to be aware of, and understand the concerns of every faction, no matter what the agenda. They have innovative ideas for solving the problems that will arise, and the tenacity to see them through. They are strong team players who know how to bring out the best in others. They have the networking skills and resources to pick competent people to do the job. You MUST pay attention; you MUSTvote. YouMUSTpickthe very best candidates for the job. Your involvement MUST start here, at ground level. Who our next president of the United States will be is equally as important to your future as who leads your next student government. Not voting IS a choice that you can't afford to make. Wendy Weir TORCH STAFF Editor ............................... ........ ..............

Treasurer "Monetary Equality - Not Personal Interest" - I want to represent the students, to ensure that monies coming in to LCC are being equally distributed, not being used for personal interests. Federico Hemandez My qualifications are: accounting and computer skills, diversity of cultural insights. I have lived in two different countries and can identify with international students and disabled persons because, I have overcome my own sight disabilities, which was a major challenge. I am committed to the people in making regular financial reports in the student newspaper "The Torch." I will circulate petitions to the students in the event of injustices within the government fiscal structure. I will also oppose any unneeded special interest drives in the student government meetings, that will not benefit the school. Thank you for your support! As Treasurer of the ASLCC, I will carefully I)lanage all funds of the ASLCC, recommending ' the distribu- • tion of funds to organiza- • lions which Keiko Straub will directly benefit the students. I will be inquisitive of unnecessary budget transfers and closely monitor balances of each account, ensuring there are no overdrafts. I am a business major with 4 years of Accounting experience, including2 years of classroom studies. School is my top priority and I will blanket the ASLCC Tr~asurer position and make it top priority also. I prorruse to exceed the expectations of the LCC students and perform my duties within the students' best interests. Thank you for your vote. What has our student government done for us .. . lately?

Did you know that LCC students pay hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in student fees? For the past several months I have served as yoursenatorin student govWilliam Hollingsworth ernment; during this time I have noticed many examples of the waste of our student fees. As your president, I will bring financial accountability to student government, and do everything I can to stop the rise of student fees. I will show my dedication to trimming waste by returning the $5,400 presidential salary to the student government treasury. I am also dedicated to bringing to LCC an opportunity forthe exchange of a broad spectrum of ideas and opinions, critical thought, and academic freedom in an atmosphere ofmutual respect and support. A vote for Bill Hollingsworth is a vote to bring financial responsibility and accountability to our student government. It will be an honor and privilege to serve as LCC' s student body president. Forthepast year, I have been actively involved in ASLCC. In my position as ASLCC Childcare CoOp Coordinator, I assessed the needs of students for cost-effective Franki Surcamp childcare, then worked closely with the LCC administration on developing and opening a quality and affordable childcare co-op on campus. For the past year, I have also worked in the office of the Transitions to Success program for single parents and displaced homemakers. My work there, along with my being a single mother, has given me a real understanding of the issues and needs of student parents and returning students. I feel that my work with the childcare co-op and Women's program over the past year has taught me a lot about what it takes to become an effective leader. I believe that open communication is crucial to good leadership. LCC students are a diverse mix of ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds, physical abilities, and lifestyles. I am strongly committed to making LCC a campus which understands and welcomes this diversity. A vote for Franki as President and Kim as Vice President will guarantee a team that is i committed to hearing your concerns and working with you on them. Page6 April 24, 1992 As Vice President of ASLCC I will provide an open door, and a ready ear to students, assisting them in finding solutions to problems, and creating the kinds ofprojects that enhance the college expeBonita Rinehart rience. As editor of LCC's award winning Denali magazine I have had considerable experience in organization and creative realizations, such as the Young People's Poetry Reading to benefit Food For Lane County and Toys for Tots. I will bring those same skills and dedication to the office of Vice President. Forthepast year I have been involved in ASLCC. I have learned the function of Student Government. I have seen first hand the need for leadership in Student Government. I Kimberly Gallagher have attended meetings and become aware of the issues concerning students here at Lane. For the past year, I have worked hand and hand with Izetta in accessing the needs of students for assistance not funded through the Women's Center such as food boxes, and needs of homeless students. Being a single parent, I realize the need of the students who fall through the cracks of the system. I want to make a difference here at Lane to make getting an education less stressful for all students. By voting Franki for president and Kim as vice president will guarantee a team that is committed to hearing your concerns and working with you on them.

Cultural Director Dear Students: As your Vice President my first priority will be to serve all students in any way I am capable. My door will always be open to all of you. I N" k" K" have decided IC ie ang to run for Vice President because all students of LCC need a strong voice that is willing to speak up for them. Vincent and I are very committed students, who believe in team work. Issues that effect us all need a committed team to make a stand and follow thought with them. We are more than willing to bend over backwards for you, once elected for the positions of President and Vice President of Student Government. Upon returning from W ashingtonD. C., where I attended the USSA Conferences as a representative ofLCC Student Body, I was overwhelmed with excitement because of the knowledge and insight I gained. As a student activist and your new Vice President some of the projects I plan to be involved in are : working with the Cultural Director in planning the events of the Martin Luther King Celebration. Researching and finding a solution to stop sexual harassment of any form here on campus, working with OSPIRG on some of their projects. Develop a plan to get covered smoking shelters outside. My number one goal as Cultural Director wiµ be to acknowledge, respect, and act on the special needs of each individual's Shannon culture while raising the awareness of the ASLCC. Iseethree tasks that is the foundation to the Cultural Director's title. 1) Martin Luther King Celebration takes a sizTony Rice able amount of the Cultural budget and in tum, deserves a great deal of attention. I will insure ASLCC's honor as founder's of the celebration by being an active participant in the forming of the week. 2) Earth Day is an opportunity to organize with campus groups to promote the well being of Mother Earth. 3) I am also in favor of sponsoring education of ethnic minorities. I will bring film festivals that deal in bringing to light our respected heritages. I will also outreach in the area of club promotion. Thank you for your consideration.

Example: * High School students - some kind of funding for tuition. * Night students - Lack of access to facilities; these students pay the same tuition as day students, should have access to a hot meal. *Book-Store - On campus business should be cheaper. I intend on making myself available to my fellow students and colleagues regarding any issues needing discussion and/or action. have I traveled throughout the Orient and Mexico and have developed an appreciation for all cultures and peoples.

Design by Jeanette Nadeau The Torch April 24, 1992 Page 7 SENATORS BalanceThe student body of LCC is diverse and unique. As a senator in student government it is important to recognize the entire student body, acknowledging Keith Ball all members, groups and issues. Presently, only particular cliques or student groups have been given the attention of student funds and government support at LCC. My desire in running for senator is to give all student groups, organizations and individuals equal support and an equal voice in student government. In this year I have completed several projects including a promotional in which I raised over $1000 worth of prizes for the basketball team. If I am elected, I will continue myhighlevelof Jeffery Dean Fernandes service in the next year. Remember, vote for Jeffery Fernandes! I, Jenny Fraser, am very interested in the student senate at Lane Community College. If elected as one ofthe senators, I would allocate funds to be used for Jenny Fraser student organizations and departments in a prudent and responsible manner. With my skills and talent, I will be able to represent the Associated Student Body at Lane Community College in a positive manner. STUDENT FEES Do you know what are they for? Do you know where they go? Do you know how or if they benefit you? Constance Glencoe If you don't know, you are not alone. I, like most students, have been unaware ofjust where our student fees have been spent. My goal as senator will be to serve the best interests of the students and student groups of LCC by ensuring your student fees are spent in an accountable and beneficial manner.Also, I will work to be a link between student government and the students of LCC so that you will know how the things we do benefit you. You support the student government, you should know what it means to you. Page8 April 24, 1992 There is a proposal in the Senate that would increase student fees. Most of the students at LaneCommunity College already have a tough time making it financially and Chris Browning don't need another expense. The role of a Senator is to be a liaison between the student government to the student body. I believe that the senators are accountable to the students and should listen to and act upon the voice of the students. ~ Iwouldlike OJ)~ to promote an environment of cultural "'It, awareness and ~q-1. positive feel~,~ ings toward racial diversity. I would also like to open commuLarry G.

I believe in repreAlan P. Schermerhorn senting all the students at Lane and I am not perusing this position for any one special . interest group. I believe that Student Government needs to be more active at reducing student fees and being more accountable to all students at Lane. I would like to thank you for your vote for me in the upcoming election. Since I have been attending LCC, student fees have increased 24_0 percentandnow there is a bill in the works that would increase them another75 percent Student government is responsible for David B. Swift disbursing the nearly half a million dollars that are raised by student fees every year. I want to participate in a student government that uses these funds to provide the greatest benefits to the greatest numbers of students, I want to be a link between you, the student, and your government; and I want to help ensure that your money is being spent wisely. The Torch Did you know that student fees have increased 140 percent in the past two years? I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with some of my fellow Senators to stabilize, and if J. B. Galan possible, reduce some of these expenses. A few dollars of extra fees per student may not seem like very much, however, I believe that these rapidly growing costs have the potential of nickel and diming many LCC students out of a higher education. If elected, I would also be an advocate for the formation of a Disabled Students Committee. I think that everyone seeking academic improvement should have the chance to attend LCC at a reasonable price and I believe that all students have a right to have their opinions and concerns addressed by ASLCC representatives. I would like to bring integrity and hard work to student government and would appreciate your support. Thank you and please vote Galan for Senator. Moneyismy platform! Of course money is not everything. But it is quite necessary in this world. If you are the typical penny pinching student then you have probably found the waste Eirik I. Rude ofmoneybythe ASLCC shocking. Each year hundreds of thousands of dollars goes through the ASLCC budget. That's a lot of money! And yet recently they found it necessary to once again raise our incidental fees. I say this must stop. The student government must be held accountable for the formation of a reasonable and modest budget. If elected I shall make it my duty to deliver to the students of this school what they deserve; a government that serves the students, and not their own egos. Weliveinan exciting, yet a demoralizing time - with challenges and opportunities, never before so vitally significant, beckoning us all to take action. Having faith in our individual potenVida Ellins tials, I believe, we can make a difference in all aspects of life- working together, planning and making choices that will enrich us. Right here on the campus, we have an enormous wealth in the diversity of people, ideas and resources available to us - which should be used creatively and effectively, for the benefit of all. I can offer to the Student Government in the coming year, the benefits of my life experience, having lived abroad and worked with many people of diverse backgrounds. Most importantly, are the deep values I hold in the belief of the unity of all races - the oneness of humanity. "The earth is one country and mankind its citizens." I am most happy when serving constructively my fellow brothers and sisters, with dedication and joy in my heart. The ultimate purpose of learning and fulfillment is service to humanity. Students feel tension in El Salvador Wellness Day to feature healthy mix of speakers by DEBORAH STOTLER Torch Lead Writer ''The fighting is over, but the struggle continues," is the rallying cry of many peasants in El Salvador. From the moment LCC students Nick Velluzzi and Amanda Nichols arrived in El Salvador on March 20, until their departure eight days later, they witnessed firsthand the tension left behind after the comprehensive peace treaty signed on Jan. 16 in Mexico City formally ended the 12-year civil war between the right-wing government of El Salvador (ARENA) and its leftist foes, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN). The peace accords called for a nine-month cease fire which began Feb. 1. If adhered to, the accords will bring more democracy than the tiny Central American country has ever known. Velluzzi and Nichols, along with 11 other Eugeneans, traveled to El Salvador as members of the most recent delegation of the Committee in Solidarity with the People ofEl Salvador's (CISPES). Velluzzi says the CISPES delegation's threefold mission included gathering educational information for use in the US; and delivering "material aid" such as medical supplies, clothing, hygienic provisions, and cash to the peasants. Along with a call for economic aid that supports national reconciliation in El Salvador, CISPES demands an end to all U.S. military aid. Velluzzi says that military aid allows the "U.S. to call the shots." This creates a dependency situa- by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Photo by Otto Deeds Amanda Nichols lion which he says gives the U.S. "the right to subjugate the people and implement its policies." And with death squad activities and other human rights violations still occurring, Velluzzi claims delays in the implementation of some accords has meant a death sentence for more than 60 Salvadorans. On March 2, the day the peace accords called for the dissolution of the much feared Treasury Police and National Guard, Nanzario •De Jesus Graci as was found dead in the office where he worked. Blindfolded, and with his hands tied behind his back, Velluzzi says the brutality of the murder suggests Graci as was killed by a death squad. On the morning the delegation arrived, a march protesting the lack of investigation into Gracias' murder was wending its way through the streets of San Salvador, the nation's capital. "At the march, two men wearingTreasury Police uniforms were spotted," says Velluzzi, a "clear violation" of the peace accords. Photo by Glennis Pohlmann Nick Vell_µzzi Prior to leaving Eugene, an orientation session designed to equip the delegation members for any and all "worst-case scenarios" didn't prepare Velluzzi for the "shocker" of observing from his room's streetside window 10 soldiers nonchalantly flaunting their M-16 rifles. Velluzzi says the soldiers always keep their hands "in a ready-to-fire position" on their guns. Both Velluzzi and Nichols say that despite the multiple, unre.solved conflicts between the government and the FMLN the Salvadorans' optimism about their future is remarkably durable. "Once the war was over, (the peasants) knew they would win their rights," says Nichols. But, they also understand "that it takes time and hard work" to make their dreams of land ownership a reality. On Wednesday, April 29, Velluzzi and Nichols will show a slide-tape presentation to Jerome Garger's Peace Studies class (Center Building, room 401 ). The class is open to all. Championships to be held at LCC Lane Community College will host the 1992 Community College Forensics Championships, April 2425, on campus.

Coxon won the pole vault event and finished third in thelOO-meter dash. Foster won the 100meter high hurdles with a time of 15.55 seconds. In other events, Rick Strubel finished third in the long jump, Dan Chapman placed fourth in the hammer throw and fifth in the shot put, and Brett Yancey ran fourth in the 800-meter. Voas,oneoftwowomenontheLCCteam, won the women's shot put with a toss of 37' 2 1/4" to beat her nearest rival by over a foot.

The LCC Athletic, and the Health and Physical Education Departments have decided to hire a permanent replacement for Callaway. "I've been working with the Adult High School Completion program here, but I don't have a master's degree," says Callaway. "The school wants to hire someone who can teach in the Health and Physical Ed. Department as well as take complete control of the track program. "At this point, I'd like to be an assistant," Callaway adds, "But it depends on whether or not the new coach is an expert with sprinters and hurdlers. If he/she is, I don't know what my status will be." Photo by Mathew Auxier Another long leap by a mighty Titan. Cardinals and Reds predicted winners in NL by ROBERT CATALANO Torch Sports Editor Picking the winners in the National League divisional races this year may be as difficult as figuring which presidential candidate is least liked by the public. National League East This is the closest race to call, but despite all the injuries to St. Louis Cardinals ear1y in th is sea - Birthright of Eugene Free Pregnancy Testing "We Care" Eugene Medical Building 132 E. Broadway, Rm. 720 Eugene, OR 97401 687-8651 son, I'm picking them as my sentimental favorite to win the division. During the first week of April the Cardinals lost three starting position players and one starting pitcher to injuries. However, this team's speed, pitching and great defense will help it hold on until the starters return. Look for good seasons from Todd Zeille, Rick Lankford, Ozzie Smith, and rookie Donovan Osborne. The Pittsburgh Pirates are good enough to win the division, but the loss of Bobby Bonilla and the player fears of the salary axe falling will be Loo much for this team to overcome. The Pirates will miss Bonilla's team leadership, as well as 20-game winner John Smiley and top reliever Bill Landrum, who were let go by a front office which did not want to pay their substantial salaries. If desire was all it took to win the NL pennant, the Chicago ---W AIRFARES TO EUROPE &ASIA Special Student and Faculty Airtores '°'~ Scheduled Major Airlines -No Charters Cubs would have done it a long time ago. They won't win again this year. The Cubs have a lot of potential, and a good mix of veterans and rookies, but this team hasn't had a winning tradition for 46 years. The only winner here is Ryne Sandberg who signed a contract recently for $7 million a year. The Philadelphia Phillies will wind up either fourth or fifth in 1992. An early season injury to Len Dykstra hurt their chances to move up, but an unsteady pitching staff and questionable defense will cause more problems than Dykstra's absence. Dennis Martinez and the Montreal Expos are made for each other. Both have been counted out before only to come back to do better than expected. Martinez overcame an alcohol addiction to become a quality pitcher and the Expos, who usually do more with less talent than any other team in the NL, would be cellar-dwellers without him. Speaking of the cellar, the New York Mets will finally return to their rightful place in history. Excepting newly-acquired Bobby Bonilla, and Howard Johnson, this team is a bunch of crybabies, primadonnas and potential Mike Tysons.

The San Diego Padres acquired Gary Sheffield the day before the 1992 season opened and the move has paid off. Along with Fred McGriff, Tony Fernandez, and Benito Santiago, Sheffield should provide the Padres with plenty of offense. Andy Benes leads a pitching staff which is long on talent, but short on experience. Even with the outfield of Brett Butler, Darryl Strawberry and Eric Davis, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be hard-pressed to fight for anything except third place. The pitching staff is not as settled as in past years, and the infield has more holes in it than downtown Baghdad. Tommy Lasorda won't need Ultra SlimFast to keep his weight down this year; a lack of victories will do as well. The Houston Astros will bring up the rear. This team has a lot of young talent, but the front office is as dedicated to winning as the Pentagon is to cutting its budget. However, given a few years of experience, some of these players will be good enough to be traded to other teams who will not hesitate to pay them what they deserve. The Cardinals will defeat the Reds in seven games to face Toronto in the World Series. If, by chance, Atlanta wins the West, it will return to the fall classic by defeating the Cardinals in six. Confused? That's baseball. ~ "Celebrating our 34th YNr in Student Travel" I INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE FLIGHTS, INC. fans, this be a good team only because it's a loser and from New York. National League West Most of the teams in this division made numerous personnel changes in the off-season, so winning the NL West may ultimately come down to which team improves itself the most. The Cincinnati Reds acquired two quality pitchers in Tim Belcher and Greg Swindell, and got rid of team problem Eric Davis. With Rob Dibble and Jose Rijo healthy, the Reds' pitching staff should be awesome. Injuries hurt the Reds early this season, but this team has enough depth to soothe the injury blues. In 1991, the Atlanta Braves had a dream season. To repeat as N.L. champions, Terry Pendleton and Ron Gant need to have good years, and Dave Justice's recover from his back problems. If the Reds falter because of injuries, Atlanta's young pitching staff could lead this team to its second consecutive division crown. The San Francisco Giants traded troublesome Kevin Mitchell away to Seattle and got three pitchers in return. Bill Swift and Dave Burba will be quality starters and Mike Jackson will · probably replace Dave Righetti as the staffs clo:ser before the 1992 season ends. The Giants have the best hitting infield in baseball, but need more offense from the outfielders if they are to challenge either the Reds or the Late Mle Show Nightly ft :00 (Late N~e adm) ''Tte 'Cllizal Kine' of at:oholc down ffllMB&."
