Lane Community College Cutbacks inevitable in coming biennium by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Photo by Arthur Mason 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 Tum to OCA page 11 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.

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.

Students with a current LCC idemification card can vote on the positions of president/vice-president, treasurer, cultural director, and nine senate posts. Three polling locations will be offered this year to provide convenience to voters with tight schedules, according to current ASLCC President Ernie Woodland. Voting will take place outside the Health & PE, and on the second floor Math & Arts Buildings from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and in the cafeteria from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A public forum intorducing all candidates will take place Monday, May 4, at I p.m. in the cafeteria. Candidates will make opening statements on their visions for the campus. Audience members will be invited to ask the candidates pertinent questions in written form, according to Maria Unquilla, ASLCC vice-president in charge of the election process. 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. "When you have a goal, or a vision for a department and people begin responding to that, and moving in that direction ... and then to have to leave before you 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." Editorship applications available and handles all financial matters regarding the magazine.

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."

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 ASLCC Campus Calendar Elections* Tuesday, May 5 Elections* Noon Music: Jazz Kitchen Native American Student Association Meeting 2:00 in Business 202. All Welcome!

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. Monday, May 4 *Vote Polls in Cafeteria, Outside Math Building and Outside Health and P.E. 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 I 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.

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. Opinion Poll 'f WJl-L, 5Av£ U5 -rRON\ DI Go-rR.'/!

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.

They have the abilities, and the persistance, and the knowledge to protect our interests. I trust them to see us through. Vote for Nickie and Vincent! They will provide the skills and teamwork required to get the job done! Betty Scott Business Major Self-starter may be asset to Lane To the Editor; Nickie is areal self-starter. Her initiative and perseverance would be an asset to the LCC student body. Lynne Swift Counselor, Training and Development 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. Peter Knox President LCC College Republicans King earns vote 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. What if your programs are c~t and you can't get classes? Bob Whitson Now more than ever before. we need effective leadership at LCC to protect not only our futures, but also those who come after us. I have known Nickie King throughout school and know her capabilities and sound business background. I believe that she and Vincent Jones are the best Voter impressed 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. P. Jean Smith 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).

The Torch May 1,1992 PageS Photo Editor: Dana Krizan Sports Editor: Robert Catalano Editor: Joe Harwood Production Mgr: Jeanette Nadeau A & E Editor: Lynn Rea Associate Editor: Tracy Brooks Contributing Editor: Kelley Egre 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. continued from page 5 by the Officers and members of the Student Senate. I would have expected them to pursue adecision that accommodated the needs of all students. Unfortunately the 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 passed the ban in away that make smokers feel like they were third class people.

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.

As part of the Latino Celebration and celebration of Cinco de Mayo, students from LCC will perform two comedies May 4 & 6 in LCC's Blue Door Theater at 3 p.m. "Los Vendidos," is a bilingual short play by Luis Valdez. The play is a satire confronting Mexican and Chicano stereotypes in our society. "El Eterno Femenino," by Rosario Castellanos, is set in the Garden of Eden, and deals with the relationship between Adam and Eve. Both of the plays are comedies. "EIEternoFemenino," will be presented in Spanish. Tickets are free for both productions and are available in the Multicultural Center, Center Building, Room 409. 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. Photo above left: "Dissection of a Doughnut#3," by ceramicist Alex E.

Scholarships, Fellowships, Grants, Loans, Awards The Torch May 1,1992 Page9 ~-a--■•••••••~31t~lll~IM'~~, 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."

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 things to all people anymore." OCA continued from page 1 would have every right to.
