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

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."

Financial Aid awards tied up in computer conversion
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor
Phone calls, long lines, and frustrated students have the
Financial Aid office calling foul as it converts its operation
to a new mainframe computer system. 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.

Graduation deadlines approaching
Students urged to meet important May 1 deadline
by CATE JOHNSON
Torch Staff Writer
LCC's annual college, adult
high school and GED graduation ceremonies will be held at

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

By fall term, 1992, all departments on campus will convert
computer operations to a new Hewlett 'P ackard Mainframe system,
which will make communication more effective on the _campus,
says Jim Keizur, director of Computer Services.
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.

Students find payoff in demanding dental program
High pressure dental program proves motivation
and initiative are keys to success in the job market
by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor
In an era when college graduation doesn't guarantee a job, or
even a family-level wage, some
LCC dentistry students are playing the odds and winning. 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-

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.

To the Editor,
I attended LCC during the
1987-1988 school years and was
a student associate. 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,

name a few.

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

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.

injustices within the government fiscal structure. I will
also oppose any unneeded special interest drives in the

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.

As Vice

ASLCC I will
provide an
open door, and
a ready ear to
students, assisting them in
finding solutions to problems, and creating the kinds

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

office of Vice President.

Forthepast

been involved
in ASLCC. I
have learned
the function of
Student Government. I
have seen first

For the past year, I have worked hand and hand with

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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-

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.

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.

LCC competes in Pendleton; may lose Callaway

by ROBERT CATALANO
Torch Sports Editor
Steve Coxon and Brandon Foster led the LCC
men's track team to a fifth place finish, and Shelby
Voas paced the women's team in a IO-team meet
at Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton
on April 18.
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 other woman, LCC sprinter Christel
Marklin, placed third in the 100-meter dash and
fourth in the 200.
In other track news, Titan coach Larry Callaway
may not be around next year.
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."

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 -

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

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. To
everyone else other than Mets

Braves.
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.

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
