LCC Forensics team members Bryan Behan and Gabrielle Cordero practice their duo
interpretation routine for team coach Barbara Breaden.

Speech duo excel in Nationals
by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Contributing Editor
Involvement with LCC's Forensics team has opened new doors
for students Gabrielle Cordero and
Bryan Beban.
Filled with confidence, the
speech duo traveled to St. Louis
for the American Forensics Association National Individual
Events Tournament (AFA/NIET),
and finished 70th out of 123 competing colleges from across the
country. Teammate Andrea
Pasutti, also a national contender,
had obligations which prevented
her from attending the tournament.
As the only LCC representatives, they entered the Dramatic
Duo competition with Thorton
Wilder's play "Our Town," facing
off against 112 other duo teams.
"The tournament was incred-

ibly huge and competitive," says
Beban, ". . . but we made
quarterfinals."
They were unable to advance
to the semi-finals, but their performance during quarterfinals
pulled them into 22nd place
overall.
"It was amazing," he said.
Theirs was the only duo team
from district two, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska, to advance to
the elimination rounds.
The LCC team also finished
third nationally on the community
college level.
"This was an important competition," says Beban.
It was
to college speech what the NCAA
tourney is to college basketball ..
. So the time and energy we spent
raising money was worth it because we brought more recogni11

tion to the college."
Behan and Cordero also competed in the LCC sponsored
Northwest Community College
Forensics Championships on
April 24-25. They performed the
same award winning "Our Town"
piece, for which they earned a
second place trophy and contributed to the team's success in
winning the Oregon Sweepstakes
trophy.
On an individual level, Cordero
finished first in poetry and was a
finalist in prose. Beban took third
with his communication analysis
and second in prose.
Barbara Breaden, the team's
coach, says Beban, Cadero, and
Pasutti are all great competitors
who bring spirit and dedication to
the team.
"I think their commitment inspires other teammates to do their
best," she says.

OCA says rights won't change
by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH
Torch Lead Writer
If Ballot Measure 20-08 passes in Springfield on
May 19th, Loretta Neet of the OCA says nothing
will change for gays and lesbians.
1
'We can't change the Constitution," she explains,
"They (homosexuals) already have the same rights
as everyone else. We are just insuring they don't get
special rights!"
Springfield Mayor Bill Morrisette disagrees with
Neet and argues:"The measure opens the doors for
censorship. Its just the tip of the iceberg and if it
passes it will cause severe repercussions for the city
financially as well as on the human rights issue."
If the ballot measure passes, the city charter will
be amended to read: "The city of Springfield prohibits recognition of homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism and masochism, under terms sexual orientation
sexual preference and similar phrases."
'

Morrisette says the city of Springfield will be put
in a tight legal position.
"Just think what it could cost the city trying to
defend it!" he stresses.
Joe Leahy, an attorney for the city, says it's
difficult to project what will happen without having
actual facts. He says hypothetically, an action may
be taken against the city by someone who alleges the
ordinance caused a job or other loss. But Leahy says
he won't give an actual opinion as the initiative hasn't
even passed at this point.
According to gay activists, the initiative will also
cause social repercussions. Jenny, a Springfield
resident and volunteer at the Lesbian, Gay and
Bisexual Alliance at U of 0, says the whole thing is
scary.
"If this ballot measure passes, I will have no way
to protect myself against discrimination. If a landlord chooses to evict me because I'm bisexual, he

The college managers charged with developing criteria for cutting
programs and services say the task is heart-wrenching and difficult.
But administrators are already developing a plan to off-set the
inevitable budget shortfall of $3 million to $7 million for fiscal year
1993-94. In starting the process now, they hope to soften the impact on
students and affected staff.
Jim Ellison, LCC vice-president for Instruction, says the college
will use a two-part process to face an uncertain future , and announce
likely cuts in January of 1993.
The first, an interim process, involves college-wide salary reduction through attrition, and not filling vacancies brought about by
retirement or medical leave.
"When we do hire someone in the future, we '11 tell them up-front the
job is probably temporary," he says.
The second step is to ascertain which criteria to use in dissolving
programs and services. That, Vice-President for Student Services Bob
Marshall says, is the hardest part.
"Everyone has different ideas about what is important to the
institution. You can ask IO different people and get 10 different
answers," he says.
Ellison says he is opposed to cross-the-board cuts, with the college
decreasing each department's
budget proportiQnally. And trying :::;:::;:;:;:;.;:;:::;:;:;:=········ ·•······~-:-:-:-·-;::::::::;:;:::··•··-•::::::::'.:":':<:::::.:::::

Instead, he favors narrowing the

"The problem with doing that is
we're going to go to healthy programs and say, 'You're not as
important as this other program,"' says Ellison. Like Marshall, he says
all courses are valued, but tough decisions must be made.
In determining the criteria, managers will have to balance economic
reality with community and student need.
"It's not a question of what is valuable. Everything we have is
valuable. So who takes the cut?" says Dick Hillier, vice-president of
Administrative Services.

Paez resigns counseling position
her departure, says Paez.
The resignation comes as a
shock to colleagues, who say that
Paez is an excellent leader to the
department.
"She's helped unify our department," says Counselor Tim
Blood. "She's inspired us to do an
even better job at serving students."
"I've really loved being here,"
she says. "My people have been
so patient with me ... they were so
supportive of me."
Paez says she feels particularly sad at leaving in the middle
of goal achieving processes she
has begun. She says she has
worked toward creating positive,
cooperative relationships within
the department, as well as promoting diversity.

vision for a department and people
begin responding to that, and
moving in that direction ... and

by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor
LCC Director of Counseling
Lee Paez announced on Wednesday, April 29, her intention to
resign her post, effective July 1.
Paez, who has directed the
counseling department for one
year, says "It's been a really difficult decison for me to make. I've
really loved being here."
She says she is leaving to attend to family matters in Dallas,
Texas. There, she will reclaim a
job at Richland Community College, where she and her husband
formerly taught. She has been on
a leave of abscence for the past
year.
"We feel like we need to be
back there."
Paez's husband, Luke Barber,
a PhD. in philosophy, has been
unable to find economically suitable employment in Eugene, but
that is not the primary reason for

actually see that happen." It's very
difficult, she says.
"Because we're counselors we
know how critical it is ... to have
a positive working environment
and to care about one another and
create an atmosphere that isn't
overly-stressed," she says.
"I'm sure that will continue,"
she says, though, "because that's
what people really care about."
One of her biggestregrets, says
Paez, is that she devoted so much
energy to learning about her job
and her staff that she wasn't able
to meet more students.
"I was looking forward to that,"
she says.
Paez says she will aid the
Counseling Department in starting a search for a new director, an
endeavor which may cover the
nation.
'Tm very sad about Lee's decision to leave LCC," says Blood.
"I've learned a great deal from her
on many levels, and I'll miss her a
lot."

Native Americans of all ages
and tribal distinctions gathered at
LCC on Saturday, April 25, for
the First Annual Student Recognition Pow-Wow.
Amidst dancing, singing, and
eating, over 1,500 students and
community members joined in a
celebration of the the rich Native
American heritage.
"It was a real learning experience," says Frank Merrill, Native
American Student Association
Advisor. A pow-wow provides
an opportunity for Native people
to meet and join in dancing, singing, eating, visiting, and renewing old and creating new friendships. Additionally, the event exposes Native American cultural
values to children, communities,
and the world-at-large.
"This is how they (Native
American children) learn their
culture. This is how you keep it
alive," he says.
"It's a good way to stop erroneous stereotypes," adds Don
Addison, an LCC student of
Choctaw descent.

The pow-wow featured exhibition dancing from many different Native cultures, including a
hoop dance by Matt Clements
and David Jackson, a local Eugene dancer; feather dancers from
the Eugene area; and skip dancers
from the Siletz tribe.
The pow-wow offered a feast
of Native handicrafts and jewelry, as well.
"We keep what we have by
giving it away," says Addi'>on.
Natives spread their handcrafts
out to the public rather than confine them to museums, he says.
Several LCC staff members
attended the pow-wow, including
LCC President Jerry Moskus,
Director of Counseling Lee Paez,
and Affirmative Action Director
Donna Albro, which Addison says
gave the Native Americans a feeling strong college support.
"People of color are indeed
welcomeonthecampus,"hesays.
"There's a very good climate
here." The more support evident
at LCC, the more Native American students will attend and
graduate, says Addison.
Merrill says the pow-wow was
"very well-received."

PEOPLE UNITED AGAINST Ams

Torch asks difficult questions of candidates
1. Do you think it is justifiable that ASLCC has spent tens of
thousands of dollars on travel this year? What are the benefits?
2. If elected president, what specific measures will you institute
to open better lines of communication between ASLCC and
students?

3. As the main advocate for students on campus, what three
major goals do you wish to accomplish if elected president?
Bill Hollingsworth
1.) Well, I think that ... travel is
a justifiable expenditure. However,
I believe the students that are sent
on the trips should be held accountable for what they've learned.
They need to come back and put an
article in the Torch, and definitely
have a senatorial report to the student government. Perhaps it could
be posted on the bulletin board. A
good example of (misuse) was a
recent trip to Washington D.C. My
problem with that is that perhaps
we could have sent two people ...
not five people. But it was to the
tune of $8000, which I think is a
pretty heavy expenditure.
2.) "First of all, I would establish a much better relationship than
this senate has with the Torch. I
think that's our best possible means

of reaching the students ... I would
definitely have a monthly statement on expenditures from the
treasurer sent to the Torch so students know what their student fees
are being spent on.
I would also like to place a spot
in the comer of each bulletin board
for nothing but ASLCC business,
and especially business that concerns the raising of student fees,
and the expenditure of student fees.
And we can also have minutes
posted there. We should especially
have the issues that concern students - bus pass issue, for one.
3.) Well, I would like first of all
to bring accountability to student
government . . . for spending the
massive amounts money that goes
to student government. I want to
trim waste. I would especially like

1) Travel is justifiable if you 're
going towards something, if you
have an identifiable goal. It's been
a real hit and miss throughout. If
people got together beforehand and
had a set agenda, had their own
personal motivations well in hand,
they got what they were looking
for. (There are) rewards to travel
because you're going to get information you can't get here at home,
you're getting a fresh perspective,
hopefully.Ifnot,andithashappened
before, there is a chance for waste
and it needs to be looked at every
time they go off campus.
2) We've tried reader boardsthey've never been put in a place
where people end up watching,
actually sitting and watching. (Another idea) is utilizing the bus terminals, even going as far as putting
video terminals out there - students can get a chance to see what
productions are going on around
campus. And along those same lines
. . . (an idea) is having some very
large . . . event signs at the main
entrances ofcampus so when people
drive on campus they get an instant
update of what's happening this
current week, (or) a huge calendar
that allows you to see the whole
month at a glance ... events don't
work sometimes on campus (because) people find them out a day
ahead of time.

to keep a cap on student fees. I
would also like to further investigate alternatives to a bus pass ... we
should pursue other avenues, such
as subsidizing people that ride the
bus right now. (One way is) I'm
going to give back my $5400
presidential salary back to the
treasury.
Another thing would be, perhaps, change the way we vote on
student fee issues. Inst~,ad of having it done on the polls as it is now,
I would like to see it done through
Classline. Then when we register
for classes fall tenn, we can vote on
the issue. Everybody will have a
chance to put his or her (vote) in on
the issue of raising student fees . . .

I

3) One is the issue of communications. Student government will
not be effective on any of the larger
issues facing this campus and student population if it's not going to
give the students some feedback of
what's going on.
A fundamental concern of mine
is that it is an upcoming legislative
year and continually students are
getting crunched in this state, let
alone this nation. I'm not going to
go in with any grandiose promises,
but ... the fundamental purpose of
the job has got to be to represent this
campus in Salem. We've got to
work together - administration,
faculty, students - and get the
word out within the legislature. It's
one of my most critical concerns.
Ifeel student government should
involve its people - planning for
events and getting publicity out
months in advance.

Franki Surcamp
1) Justifiable to students? Absolutely not. I know that there has
been a lot of travel that has gone on
this year ... as far as it being
justified to students, I don't see
how it can be mainly because stu-

dents didn't get a lot out of it. I did
go to USSA in Washington D.C.
and felt that I did learn a lot, but I
also feel we took too many people
and it cost too much money. There
are benefits in travelling. As far as
future expenditures for travel, I
don't see why it has to be that high.
It's ridiculous. I think two people
going to one conference is plenty.
2) Well, communication to me
is open communication. I'm not
pointing fingers at anybody - I
feel the whole student government
this year did not get out and get
involved. In one year I was able to
get out there and get in touch with
students, get the Childcare Co-op
up and going - what would happen if we took a bunch of people,
the whole student government? The
student government needs to be
together ... that's what student
government is for - to get people
together.
3) I don't think I can answer that
question effectively because there's
too many goals that I have for the
campus. I feel they all have (an)
equal amount of adjusting to be
done ... effectively.
.
A big issue right now for the
student population itself is on the
tuition-everybody's talking about
that. I think the child care is still a
big issue on campus. Another issue
is the communication between,say,
the Multi-Cultural Center, the
Women's Center, your Dislocated
Workers' Center. All those need to
come together and be combined
and work effectively together.

Joann Wilson
1..) That's a good question. I'd
like to know that myself. And if it's
justifiable is a big question. There's
$5000 that's not being accounted
for ... it's gone into the travel
budget and Jeanee' s (ASLCC Secretary) looking in on thatrightnow."
2.) "I think that a senator or
somebody representing the senate
should go to each classroom at least
once a month and inform the class
-and let people know what's happening in the senate, where the
senate meetings are. How long
would that take? And I think we
have enough senators and enough
people on the executive cabinet that
can do this and go in and present
that to each classroom. I think from
those steps, then, we could go to
presenting more stuff in the Torch.
I think senators need to get involved
in writing editorials, to let everybody know what's going on.
3.) "There has to be something
done with the smoking. I've fought
on that for quite some time. And I
think we need to have some structured areas for smoking instead of
just stuck outside.
Anotherthingwould betheLTD
issue. I don't think all students
should have to pay for that. This is
a commuter college ... there's a lot
of students from Cottage Grove
and other areas and I think if it's
going to be put in, then I think there
should be some sort of a refund or
something for students that are not
using the bus.
The third thing is, I think the
senate needs to find out and know
who the administration department
is ... most of them don't even know
who the president is. I think we
need to sit down ... find out who we
are, get to know each other.

Fight attempt to legislate morality in Springfield election
In just a few weeks Springfield voters will be asked to
define the intangible, to giveaclearmandateon "majority
values," and possibly even broaden.government's already
tenacious hold on our personal lives. They will be asked
to legislate morality.
The charter amendment, if passed, would "prohibit
City recognition of homosexuality, other behaviors as
sexual orientation, and from promoting these behaviors."
The primary intent of the measure is to prevent gays
and lesbians from receiving special rights or taxpayer
funding.. It also includes a prov is ion prohibiting access to
public schools for individuals or groups who promote or
facilitate homosexuality, sadism, masochism, or
pedophelia.
Now let's ask ourselves some questions.
Since when is entry into a public school by a person of
any sexual orientation considered a special right?
Equally alarming is the ambiguous wording of the
amendment. Instead of narrowly tailored, specific language, it leaves too much for personal interpretation.
Hence, the door is left wide open for persecution through
association. Book burning and 1950s McCarthy-era civil
rights suspensions immediately come to mind. People
could face daily civil-rights violations, regardless of who

\'

they sleep with. It raises many questions that neither side
can answer.
Will the city of Springfield go bust defending such
legislation? It is ludicrous to believe the new charter
amendment would not be immediately challenged.
Will instructors at public institutions actually face
discipline or termination for merely acknowledging homosexuality or any of the other acts listed as perverse in
the ballot question? What about the valuable, proven
employees who are known homosexuals? Will they be
forced out?
Individuals can disagree with the gay life style. But it
is not the place of government or rankled citizens to
dictate and eventually legislate what people do in the
privacy of the bedroom.
But the OCA says it doesn't care what people do in
bedrooms, and says such a measure would not interfere
with anyone's rights under the U.S. Constitution. The
group claims that as long as government employees do
not use their position to facilitate or encourage any of the
behaviors listed on the initiative, sexual orientation is a
non-job factor.
Does that then mean Clarence Thomas-like discussion on heterosexual exploits is acceptable?

Homosexuals or heterosexuals who promote, encourage, or facilitate any sexual behavioron the
job should be disciplined under sexual harassment
guidelines.
Suppose a high level manager announces he or she is
gay, proving that gay people can be equally successful?
Would disciplinary action or termination result?
Another, probably the biggest flaw, in the OCA logic
is equating gays with pedophiles. Published figures
show that heterosexual males in "traditional family
structures" commit the most sexual crimes against
children.
But the OCA does have one point. Funding gay and
lesbian groups with public money should not take place.
What would happen if a group of white males solicited
public funds for a heterosexual support group? No
group or individual should receive public funds based
on sexual orientation - that would grant minority or
special status.
There is no need to add either the OCA 's initiative or
a gay-rights bill to Springfield's charter. Equal protection already exists for all citizens. Instead, citizens
should fight any attempt to legislate morality - an
innocuous word meaning different things to different
people.

Students shown
erroneous stats
To the Editor:
I am writing to clarify some
erroneous facts and figures that
have been recently posted around
school regarding the amount of
student tees available to1 and allegedly misused by Student
Government.
Total over-all student fees
collected each school year are
NOT close to half a million dollars, Nar $350,000, but closer to
the $300,000 figure. This total
reflects total fees collected, not
total fees available. Certain
amounts are mandated by the
student body for specific uses.
These include Denali,$5.00 per
student per term to the child care
program, and$2.00 per student to
OSPIRG. ASLCC has NO control of these funds, and ends up
with only 38-40% of the total fees
collected for dispersal to student
body functions.
Student fees did increase by
$5.00 from last year, as voted by
the student body for the child care
program. ASLCC only votes to
bring any increases of fees before
the student body for approval or
disapproval by the balloting process. Any future increases would
only occur from YOUR approval
of such issues as the proposed
LTD bus pass, and fees collected
woold go directly to that service,
notASLCC.
Please be an informed voter
and get all the facts before making
your decision. My office is within
the Student Government offices
on the 4th floor of the Center
Building if you need further
clarification.
Rachel Lindsay
ASLCC Treasurer

Concern leads
to team support
To the Editor:
I am a graduating business student. I have lived with the realities and stresses both of the dislocated and injured worker, and a
displaced homemaker, and the
frustrations and red tape that involves. I would not have made it
in school without financial assistance just as most of you would
not. I may be graduating, but I am
still very concerned with your
future as well as the future educations of my daughters and
grandchildren. How will you have
a future if there is a drastic increase
in college costs and a drastic reduction in available funding?

Voters insure fair
representation
To the Editor,
I would like to address the
upcoming student elections. Last
year only around350pepple voled
in last years election. Just to
compare there are about 12,00013,000 students who are eligible
to vote who pay student fees.
That means that the student representation was decided by a very
small percent of the student
population.
This year there needs to be a
different story. Our individual
responsibility is to vote in order to
keep the students represented. The
founders of this nation fought a
war to insure that there was no
taxation without representation.
We are giving up our rights to
have fair representation by not
voting. Can we really think that
the people who are elected will
represent us if only a tint fraction
of us vote. I urge everyone to go
and vote in the student election.

for dedication
To the Editor;
I have known Nickie for several years. I know she is dedicated
to any task or undertaking she has
before her. For this I know she
will be a credit to Lane and the
students she will represent. My
vote will be for Nickie King for
Vice President.

with simplicity
To the Editor:
What's in a sign? A rose, we
all know, would smell the same if
it were named a petunia. Most of
the election signs that I have seen

stink. The majority of students,
(at least those that I have talked
to), first exposure to who is running for ASLCC President is
through these signs.
Bill Hollingsworth' s signs look
like a missing child poster. His
lure is money, $350,000 to be
exact. If you take the time to read
his sign, Mr. Hollingsworth implies that our current representatives have misappropriated our
student body funds. Well excuse
me Bill, but aren't you currently
an ASLCC Senator?
Vincent Jones appeals for our
votes with a poster too small to
read at a distance. On these signs
is a clock, indicating that it is time
to vote for Vince. Why? Mr.
Jones is not a full-time student at
LCC. In fact Mr. Jones is a classified employee at LCC. My
question for Mr. Jones is : How
can you represent me, as a student,
and be employed by LCC?
Franki, (sorry I can't find a
poster with a last name on it),
signs are distinct. Distinctly immature. They are disorganized
and illegible. My question for
you Franki is: If you don't have
the time to produce a legible poster,
how will you find the time to
represent the students at LCC?
Get real Franki: this is a college
not middle school.
JoAnn Wilson's signs state
simply: Elect JoAnn Wilson for
President. Her signs are neat,
legible and well organized. I like
her signs and I can read them from
a distance. I don't have to stop
and read the "fine print" . Ms.
Wilson spent some time and organized her appeal for our votes.
As a skeptical voter, my decision of who I will vote for will be
based upon these signs. We all
know thatcampaign promises can
only be feasible with time, effort,
organization and teamwork. The
candidate that I will vote forneeds
to exhibit these skills. If a candidate cannot present his/her appeal
in a dignified manner, why should
I vote for him or her? I will vote
for organized effort. I will vote
for JoAnn Wilson.

Smoke-suckers
shorten lives
To the Editor;
When a smoke-sucking nicotine addict sets fire to the front end
of a cigarette, the cigarette starts
to smoke.
The smoke-sucker sucks the
smoke in his or her mouth from
the butt of a smoking cigarette.
That smoke is contaminated
with those harmful substances:
nicotine (harmful and addictive),
carbon monoxide (effective poison, used often in suicides), and
tar (cancerogenic, causes cancer).
The smoke-suckers putmoneypower of dozens of billions of
dollars (blood of our economy)

They shorten their own life, on
average in 12 1/2 years (European
research says so), harm health
(most valuable asset) of their own
relatives, friends, co-workers,
(second-hand smoke). Sucking
smoke alone is a self-destructive
unreasonable liberty of a person
who has no self-control. Sucking
smoke in the places where secondhand smoke affects negative
health of other people is a selfdestructive liberty.

Torch unanimously endorses Jones-King ticket
The upcoming ASLCC spring elections will bear witness to a diverse group of candidates seeking office. This
is especially true of those running for the position of
president.
Because all four candidates seeking the presidency are
exceptionally qualified, the Torch interviewed each, asking the same questions and giving equal response times to
each. (See story, page 3) We hoped to find one candidate
who stood above the rest, someone who could represent all
students in a balanced and fair manner, as well as work on
a professional level with community leaders and the college administration.
The Torch Editorial Board decided only a unanimous
vote on one of the candidates would give us mandate to
endorse. Our criteria for the decision included answers
from the interviews as well as each candidate's previous
background in student government and related service.
JoAnn Wilson, for instance, revealed a strong commitment to accomplish her goals. Franki Surcamp, having
already proven herself with the creation of the only community college child care co-op in the nation, showed a
sensible approach to leadership and cared about a wide

Letters

variety of issues. Bill Hollingsworth, adamant about fiscal
responsibility, wants to stop the free-spending attitude of
the current ASLCC leadership.
All admirable stands, but taken individually, do not
make for a well-rounded student leader.
To our surprise, one candidate out-distanced the others
by a long shot.
His name is Vincent Jones, and his running mate is
Nickie King.
The Torch was most impressed, not with the platform
Jones stands on -- all had relevant and important goals -- but
with his ability to interact with people. Jones has that rare
ability to effectively communicate with individuals and
groups alike, to put aside his personal beliefs and opinions
and look at the big picture.
Above all, a president must maintain an aura of calm if
he/she is to be listened to and respected. Again, Jones won
this category hands down. Past experiences with the other
candidates revealed a tendency on their part to become
flustered easily, and to get ruffled by seemingly innocuous
events.

The word flexibility surfaced several times during the
discussion of who to endorse. Every time, Jones' name was
mentioned somewhere in the same sentence. He stresses a
progressive flexibility in all decision-making, a very necessary quality in any successful leader. Although Jones
downplays his role and achievements.his work in the
continuing negotiations with LTD for a bus pass attests to
his flexibility and strong leadership ability. He voluntarily
took on the task of negotiating the bus pass deal, and when
LTD failed to decrease its offer to an acceptable figure,
Jones recommended a student government rejection of the
measure.
His observation that student government must first
organize itself before it can effectively work for students
makes sense. His commitment to maintaining a structured
network reflects an experienced and realistic approach to a
usually thankless job.
Only realism coupled with functional imagination will
lead LCC students through the tough time ahead, and
possibly even eliminate the rampant apathy on this campus.
It is the Torch's opinion that the Jones-King ticket is the
most qualified and will best lead LCC.

Senate was more conspicuous by
its absence than its involvement.
Only one senator, understanding
the basic injustice of the situation,
aggressively pursued a workable
compromise. She personally got
over 512 signatures on a petition
asking that atleast one area be left
available to indoor smoking. She
personally sought three separate
bids from contractors to construct
such an area, and she even opened
negotiations with companies to
arrange for private funding ofsuch
construction. Unfortunately she
received no support in these efforts
from the Student Senate and ultimately the Board of Directors

Job center opens door to employment
by ERIC JAMES
Torch Staff Writer
Homeless, nowhere to go, and.
living off welfare, the Barnes
family struggled to find a job and
a place to live.
In 1989 through 199 I, Michele
Barnes, while attendingLCC, tried
to find a place for herself and her
daughter to live, moving from the
homeless shelter to the transitional
house, house-sitting for a friend,
and finally sharing a home.
"It was real scary ... not knowing what was going to happen
from one day to the next," she
says now looking back.
But then she was referred to
the Emerald Job Center.
The center takes people referred by public agencies, provides
job training to individuals on
welfare, and helps clients acquire
the skills to successfully search
for ajob.
The center is a conglomerate
of agencies. It includes the State
Employment Division, Southern
Willamette Private Industry
Council, and LCC. Subcontractors include Adult and Family
Services, which receives federal
funds and distributes them to the
center. Another subcontractor,
Catholic Community Services,
provides the teen program at the
center.
Jack Hart, employment relations representative and a 1973
LCC graduate, says the center

attempts to have all of the resources a client needs to find a
job. And those who have succeeded at the center have done so
because they wanted to succeed.
"It's the dinosaur with IO
heads," says Hart, who is on loan
from the Oregon Employment
Division. He says the center runs
smoothly, even with the variety of
agencies that makes up the program.
Barnes started the first step in
building her future at the center.
After intitial testing, she moved
into LifeSkills, the first level, to
help build self-esteem, and motivation. It encourages the individuals to set realistic goals to
better themselves. And if a person
needs a GED, it is possible to
receive one at the center, because
of the on-site instructors and
classrooms.
Once the•client completes the
level one agenda, he/she goes to
job readiness training.
"This is where you learn the
nuts and bolts of job search," says
Hart. The center teaches writing
resumes and cover letters, correctly filling out applications, and
interviewing techniques.
The job center has a threeweek in-house computer training
program, using basic MS DOS
and Word Perfect 5.1 that clients
use if their prospective jobs call
for computer-literate skills.
In level three, called Supportive Job Search, says Hart, clients

Artistic expression takes many forms
by LYNN REA
Torch A&E Editor
Bringing to a crescendo a year
of teaching and learning in the Art
Department, LCC's three studio
aides are exhibiting sculpture,
ceramics, metalsmithing and
jewelry in the LCC Gallery.
The show includes works by
Tim Outman, Alex E. Lanham,
and Gerald Vreim. Several of the
artist's works are for sale.
Sculpturist Tim Outman is
widely exhibited in Oregon, including the U of O Museum of
Art, and Laverne Krause Gallery.
His "Les Danseurs au Vent" is a
featured exhibit in the Nike permanent collection in Beaverton.
Outman says he frequently attends dance recitals, and finds inspiration in the dancer's movements.
"Movement not only expresses
the depth of what we are, but also
contains a sense of joy," he says.
He describes his sculpture as
somber, and at other times joyful.
"There are strengths about us

and parts that are fragile as well-life is precarious."
Jewelry artist and metalsmith
Gerald Vreim is a full-time student at LCC, working toward his
B.S. in biology and an eventu.al
M.F .A in metalsmithing.
Vreim's metalsmithing takes
many forms, ranging from functional copper and silver bowls, to
ladles and challices, to whimsical
lapel pins.
"I like to take very functional
objects and give them a twist -using plant or animal forms."
His silver lapel pins range in
style from bizarre facial caricatures to more geometrically ordered pieces.
Ceramicist Alex E. L~nhan1
has previously exhibited work at
the LCC Gallery, and the New
Zone Gallery.
His techniques range from
thrown and altered, to throwndissected and reassembled. He
describes his work as "eclectic."
"Through my clay I somehow
make sense of tl1e world. I basically do it for my own sanity," he

says.
Lanham, who believes that
analogy is the best form of communicating an idea, says he wants
to "induce a visceral reponsc" in
those that view his sculpture.
LCC Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m.
to 10 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Track duo pair up to field women's team
by ROBERT CATALANO
Torch Sports Editor
Christel Marldin and Shelby Voas get a lot of male
attention these days.
It's not by design; it's just the way things worked
out.
After LCC's track team lost several players to
academic ineligibility and lack of commitment, Marl<lin
and Voas remain as the only women on the team.
"It's okay," comments Marklin on her situation.
"The guys treat us like any other individual. Sometimes
that's comfortable and sometimes it's not, but we all get
along well with each other."
Marklin, a sophomore, has taken a circuitous route
in order to compete on the LCC oval.
"I original! y went to Pacific U. on a soccer scholarship
(Marklin made the Oregon H.S. all state team in 1990)
and planned to be a physical therapist," recalls Marklin.
"They had me scheduled for 21 credits and the competition was tremendous. I sort of got freaked out and
decided I wanted to come home."
Marklin applied, and was accepted to the University
of Oregon, but decided to come to LCC to "take a step
back" to a school where she could get some individual
attention from instructors.
"When I got here I didn't intend to come out for
track," says Markin. "But I'd been friends with Shawna
Krasowski (a 1990-91 LCC women's track standout) at
North (Eugene H.S.) and she convinced me to try."
Marklin is happy she decided to come to LCC.
"I really love it here and wish I didn't have to leave.
I've enjoyed competing and Larry (Head Track Coach

Lany Callahan) has always been real supportive."
Marklin currently ranks third in the Northwest
Athletic Association of Community Colleges
(NWAACC) in the women's 400-yard dash and wants
to improve on her performance.
"I'm very determined and track has helped me
realize I could do things I didn't think I could do," says
Marklin
What's in her future?
"I don't see a track future when I transfer to the U of
0, but maybe I'll play club soccer there. Beyond that?
Well, ideally I'd like to become a health club supervisor."
Voas, a graduate of Sheldon H.S., enjoys the
comraderie and personal satisfaction which competing
for LCC affords her.
"Going to the meets is fun," Voas says. "I have a
chance to meet people and it's rare to go to a meet and
not meet someone you already know."
Voas' biggest competitor in the shot put and discus
events is herself.
"Competing against others is not what track's all
about for me." explains Voas. "To me I'm more concerned with PR's (personal records) and improving
every time I compete."
Voas, who plans to attend Western Oregon State
College in fall 1992, will miss LCC and her friends in
Eugene, but understands there comes a time to move
on.
"I have a hard time leaving my friends and family,"
says Voas. "But ifl'd have quit school (to stay home),
I might not have gone back. I want to continue my
education while I'm young."

In narrowing the college's mission, Hillier says LCC must start
long-range endeavors that support
the local economy and make good
fiscal sense. Staying attuned to
future job markets and training
workers for those markets should
always be a goal for a community
college, he says. "We have to offer
a variety of skills to prepare students for the 20th century."
By narrowing the scope of offerings due to budget woes, Ellison
says, "We're not going to be. all
