Many of Oregon's 16 community colleges have already cut services
and programs in response to decreased funding brought about by the
Measure 5 property tax limitation.
Thus far, LCC has escaped the budget ax, but plans are in motion
to cut programs and services for fiscal year 1993-94. Jim Ellison, LCC
vice president for Instruction, has said the cutbacks will be announced
in January, 1993.
As if program reductions aren't enough, the picture may become
even more bleak next year.
Unless some form of funding is found in the near future to replace
dollars lost to property tax reductions, community colleges in Oregon,
.
for the first time, may have to institute enrollment ceilings.
If no additional money is found, "There will probably be enrollment
caps put on all the colleges," says Dale Parnell, commissioner for
Oregon's community colleges and former LCC president.
"The state (legislature) will probably say, 'We can only fund so
many students and it will be up to each college to figure out how to deal
with that in 1993-94,"' he says.
In general, community colleges in the state have purposely had
almost non-existent entrance requirements to allow admission to
anyone seeking an education. With an enrollment cap, prospective
students will not have the luxury of applying late, or entering mid-year,
says LCC Vice President for Student Services Bob Marshall.
"I don't really see much alternative for the state other than enrollment caps, ~d I don't like it," says Parnell.
Because the state is supposed to replace all funding lost due to
Measure 5 through the general fund, and that fund is nearly broke,
Parnell says citizens should all be fighting "to replace at least some of
the dollars lost from the property tax cut."
Parnell worries that the state legislature may try to control the
colleges from Salem since the state will fund 60 to 70 percent of the
operating costs, but vows to fight for all he's worth to keep localcontrol.
"Local control is part of the genius of community colleges," he
says.

ASLCC dollars aid variety of students
by DEBORAH STOTLER
Torch Lead Writer
Did the recent ASLCC election campaign make you wonder
where your $12 student fee goes
after it's left your wallet?
What kind of money generated by the fees are we talking
about here anyway? Is it
$350,000? $300,000? Or what?
Inquiring minds want to
know.
According to Student Activities Director Barbara Delansky,
certain campaign posters displayed "misleading" student fee
figures. The amounts listed as
"optional spending dollars" at
the ASLCC simply demonstrate
"a lack of understanding" about
the LCC budget process, she
says.
"Arbitrary decisions about
student government spending
"are impossible to make," says
Delansky. Without the student
body's approval via the ballot
measure process, she says,

ASLCC "has relatively little
control" to change the budget.
Furthermore, says current
ASLCC Treasurer Rachel
Lindsay, the total amount of
money available for "optional
spending" by the ASLCC should
not be confused with the total
amount of fees the college collected from registered students
every term. Lindsay explains that
the $12 fee is split three ways:
• $5 is committed to LCC's
child care co-op, for a total of
$120,000.
• The student lobbying organization OSPIRG receives two
dollars, for a total of $48,000.
• Of the remaining $5, three
percent is allocated to Denali,
LCC's literary and artistic publication, for a total of $3,600.
Additionally, funding for
Legal Services ($27,667); Photo
ID ($17,150); cultural programs,
which include the Martin Luther
King, Jr. celebration ($27,913);

Women's transition seminar offered
by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH
Torch Lead Writer
Women who wish to continue their education
at the University of Oregon are invited to "learn
the ropes" at a one-day workshop, from 10 a.m. 2 p.m., on May 9 in the Fir
Room at the Erb Memorial
Union.
Zetta McDaniels, a volunteer at the U of O Women's
Center and an LCC spring 1987
graduate of the LCC "Transitions to Success" program, says
it will be a good time for women
to network with others going
through the same process.
"It gives you a link to the
university," McDaniel explains. "It's a good time to familiarize yourself
with the campus without a big time crunch.
"When you're not 18, it's easy to feel isolated.
Attending the workshop will help you see you're
not alone!"
The day will begin at 10 a.m. with a welcome
address by Jan Oliver, 4-J school board member,
vice-president for Institutional Affairs at U of 0,
and a former non-traditional student.
Between 10:30 a.m. and noon, individual

workshops will cover the topics of Academic
Admission, Financial Aid, Academic Advising,
the Equal Opportunity Program and Academic
Leaming Services. Additional workshops will be
held on childcare, counseling services and housing.
Special attention will be given
to the needs of older and nontraditional students.
Following a buffet lunch at
noon, a panel of current and former
students will share their experiences at the university.
LCC's Women in Transition
Program and Office of Admissions are sponsoring t_he free
workshop.
The Women in Transition Program, founded in 1977, is designed
to address the needs of women students who do
not fit the traditional mold. They are single parents, older women who have been out of school for
a long time and/or women with special financial
needs.
Free childcare for children ages five months to
seven years will be provided upon reservation.
For more information call Andrea Coukos at
346-4099.

ployment, he filed for a state extension but was denied, because
the state deemed him as not structurally unemployed. He then
started to draw benefits on a federal extension, but after six weeks,
he was forced to refile his claim
because of the money he earned
from the department store.
He earned enough at the store
to drop his weekly benefit amount
from $241 to $86. Now, he earns
about $20 beyond his benefit
amount, which disqualifies him
from receiving any benefits.
His gripe? If he were classified
as structurally unemployed, which
the Southern Wilamette Private
Industry Council assured him he
was, he would have been able to
keep drawing his normal weekly
benefit amount, as have other dislocated workers who have taken
part-time jobs. The reason he is
deemed as structurally unemployed, he says, is because he
took the job driving forklift, in
which he learned a new skill.
"I'm being penalized for being
an industrious young man," he
says.
After the original decision to

deny his extension, Phelps appealed to the Employment Appeals Board and was denied again.
The board said this time that his
injurypreventedhimfromretuming to work as a logger, not a
decline in industry.
He refutes the finding, however, stating that he should not
have to travel 1,300 miles to work
in an industry which is indeed
dying.
He is in the process of appealing to the Judicial Review Committee, the last appeal he may
undertake. He hopes to recover
the benefits he lost and be reclassified as astructurallyunemployed
person.
In addition, he has sought the
assistance of State Representative Grattan Kerans and Congressman Peter Defazio in
working out the kinks in the program. He is in contact with other
dislocated workers around the
state, hoping to find students in
similar situations who can unite
with him in the fight.
"This is my child now," he
says. "I'm going to nurture this
thing along until things change."

PANIC!
All of a sudden you feel extremely frightened, your heart pounds
and you're short of breath. Even though you know you're not in
"real" danger, you feel shaky and fear that something terrible is
about to happen. You may even fear that you are dying. This is
how some people describe panic. If you've had such an
experience and would like to participate in a study on

Study: Nicotine damages sperm
by ERIC JAMES
Torch Contributing Editor
In the beginning, masses of
vigorous, goal-oriented sperm attacked an unexpecting egg in the
movie "Look Who's Talking."
The product of their purposeful
assault in the movie was the creation of a healthy baby.
If the sperm had come from a
smoker, the picture would have
looked like something of amosh pit
at the WOW Hall.
Clueless, and ineffectual, .the
mutant sperm of a smoker may
possibly result in miscarriage or
birth defects.
"Look, Nobody's Talking"
According to a newsletter in
Men's Health newsletter, nicotine
is significantly more damaging to
men's fertility than previously believed.
Before, women who smoked
took chances with their fertility, but
the latest information shows that
cigarettes in the hands of a future

dad is like blanks within a gun.
Investigators at State University of New York, Stony Brook,
show a 64 .4 percent increase in
miscarriages among couples where
either the husband alone smokes or
the husband and wife both smoke.
In another study by University
of California, Los Angeles, laboratory data suggests nicotine reduces
human sperm penetrability (the
ability to pierce the protective outer
layers of the egg) by 12 to 16 percent.
An experiment using "neversmokers" sperm was collected, then
mixed with nicotine. It was found
that the penetrability of the
"smokeless" sperm using hamster
eggs was 77 .5 percent. With increasing concentrations of nicotine
the rate fell to 64 .9 percent.
It is best said by Robert J.
Stillman, M.D., "smoking can
prevent you from conceiving in the
future."
"Cigarette smoking is not just

going to be a problem at age 60
when you have a heart attack or at
age 75 when you develop emphysema. It is a direct reproductive
issue as well," he says.
Yet another reason tor a smoker
to stop, is that sperm contains DNA.
Like every other cell in the body,
sperm possess the genetic blueprint
oflife. Thus, smokers show defects
in their sperm which can be passed
onto children in inherited diseases.
But this story can have an happy
ending.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can
prevent, or even reverse the damaged nicotine-induced sperm.
Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch
Galveston.Edgar B. Dawson found
that higher intake of Vitamin C
does help reverse a wide assortment of damage done by nicotine.
Dawson, a heavy smoker who
still managed to father four children, says, "If I had known at 22
what I know now, I guarantee I
would have stopped smoking."

BPA to sponsor local job training
by JIM JONES
For the Torch

In the coming decade, future
energy needs must be provided
through a "least cost approach,"
as mandated by the Pacific
Northwest Power Council
(PNWPC).
To help further this goal, be•fore his retirement in January,
former-LCC science instructor
Allan Gubrud developed a curriculum for an Energy ManagementTechnician program to train
people to assess "least-cost" energy options. If the college and
state approve the plan, the
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) will provide start-up
fundsofabout$170,000peryear
for two years.
The purpose of LCC's new
curriculum is to help meet the
area's future energy demands.
PNWPC officials predict expenditures by utilities and consumers will total $7 billion this
decade on energy. Utilities must
find new sources of energy to
accomodate the expected demand for 2315 megawatts during that time period.
And PNWPC considers conservation a resource. By expanded use of conservation
measures, the PNWPC expects
to provide nearly two-thirds
(1515 megawatts) of the demand.
The workforce needed to meet
these goals does not presently
exist, say officials. Developing
and maintaining such a qualified
workforce is essential if the long-

term goals are to be realized.
On April 23, an Advisory
Committee held an exploratory
meeting to discuss the curriculum, and any additions or deletions. Over 30 interested specialists attended, representing
utility companies, engineering
firms, lighting •and building
contractors, private retail businesses, OSU and LCC, says
Gubrud.
The goal was to assist the
college in developing the curriculum to provide a qualified,
professional work force to secure
job market demands. Since many
of those in attendance were potential employers, their involvement was vital.
The new program, as Gubrud
envisions it, would train students
for three vocations, Energy Engineering Technician, Building
Energy Management, and en-

ergy related Business-Sales.
Gubrud admits uncertainties
about the new program, but he
hopes broadening the scope of
the project and expanding it to
include training in all three areas
will enable LCC to meet the
rising demand.
"I'm hoping that we attract
both technicians and marketing
people,"hesays. "We'relooking
for up to 35 qualified students."
Gubrud estimates entry level
salaries to be in the $12,000 to
$18,000 range.
The proposed program at
LCC would be the only one of its
kind in the state. Community
colleges in both Washington and
Idaho will offer a similar pro. gram.

King verdict ensuing riots unjustified and excessive
I

How could justice be so blind?
The verdict handed down last week in Los Angeles is
shocking, unbelievable, and frustrating for nearly all
who saw the videotaped beating of Rodney King.
The message: Excessive force is justifiable for cops
when the suspect (victim), is a black man with a tarnished
rap sheet.
After they "subdued" King into oblivion, the officers
continued their inhuman rain of blows. King suffered
numerous broken bones, nerve damage, and burns from
the stun gun.
Regardless of the guidelines the judge told the jurors
to follow, the cruelty and utter brutality of King's thrashing -- documented forever on video tape -- do not lie.
Those policemen crossed the line, they went way too far.
The four officers and the more than 20 other cops who
stood by could not, by the farthest stretch of the imagination, honestly believe King posed a significant threat
after the first round of batting practice.
Itisnevergoodtosecond-guess a jury. The public was
not in the courtroom for the entire trial. But no one
deserves a beating like the one King received-- no matter

what the crime.

LA police not
really pigs"
11

To the Editor:
In the cafeteria area I saw a
poster that read, "The L.A. Pigs
are guilty ..." It was approved by
StudentActivities.IspoketoSally
Meadows. She was reasonable.
However, she is hindered by a
feeling that she cannot "judge"
people's statements. This is more
or less true. Our era has made the
concept "to judge" seem narrow
and oppressive. I do know that
posters that, for example, referred
to women as whores, or blacks as
niggers are evil enough to reject
and are. Police are women, men,
and of all races and creeds. Calling them "pigs," dehumanizing
them, leads to the violence we
sawinL.A. toasignifigantdegree:
My point we all must be judges to
some degree, at the lowest level of
criticalness. I will not and can not
call police officers "pigs." If this

is so, and we all canoffendequally,
we can ultimately offend each
other to death and violence will
grow.
Franklin B. Taylor

Student tells
Wilson no
To the Editor:
On May 5, -1992, JoAnn Wilson, candidate for student president, asked me if I planned to
vote. When I said no Ms. Wilson
asked me the following questions:
First, what will I do if! don't like
changes that could occur at LCC?
To which I responded by telling
Ms. Wilson that I could transfer to
another college.
The second question was, what
did my founding fathers fight
for? Being an African American,
I asked Ms. Wilson what founding fathers she was referring to?
Her reply was "you know." I told
Ms. Wilson I did not know, and
repeated my question. Her an-

swer was Martin Luther King.
I explained to Ms. Wilson that
Dr. King did not find me, to which
her response was "I know, your
mother and father found you." At
this point I walked away.
After I had left, a gentleman
named Zachery heard Ms. Wilson
state that I was not the type of
person that you would want to see
working in the criminal justice
system, this being a reference to
the fact that I am a criminal justice
major here at LCC.
When Zackery attempted to
defend my right to vote or not vote
without being insulted by Ms.
Wilson, she calledhim an asshole.
I know this because I asked
Zackery what had happened and
thanked him for defending me as
he had done.
My reason for writing this letter
is to tell Ms. Wilson NO! I am not
voting in student elections, but I
am more than willing to go along
with the majority without complaining. Along with a GPA of
3.9, I can transfer at any time

should I become displeased with
how LCC is being run.
I would also like to say to Ms.
Wilson that people such as Crispus
Attucks, Rosa Parks, Medger
Evers and Martin Luther King Jr.
are not founders of African
Americans, but they were and still
are our leaders; and YES! they did
fight for my right to vote in State
and Federal elections, which I do
vote in and will always vote in.
The afore mentioned people also
fought for my right to go to college, and this is the right I choose
to exercise at this time.
As to Ms. Wilson's statement
about my working in the criminal
justice field, I would like to say, I
will not be judged on whether or
not I voted in LCC 's student elections; I will be judged on my
ability to do the job, my ethics and
my morals, all of which I am more
than willing to match against
anyone's at any time. Ms. Wilson, are you willing to do the
same?
I would also like to ask the

students of LCC, is this the kind of
person you want to represent you?
I hope not!!

It snot funny
To the Editor,
Can anyone tell me why some
people pick their nose in public?
These nasal-excavating morons
make me want to retch. For those
of you guilty of this deviant behavior, I can still see you picking
you proboscis when you are behind the wheel of your car.
Then there are those of you
who eat what you dig out. Don't
tell me you are just recycling.
Boogers are not at all an edible
dish, so stop.
I beg of you, do your picking
in private. I know there are
stalagtites in your nostrils that
have to come out, but do you
have to remove them where I
can see you at work?

L.A. crisis prompts instructor's call for L~C diversification
by FRANK ROSSINI
FORUM
After three days and nights of
watching the uprisings in L.A.
and other cities across the country, a sense of frustration and depression has overwhelmed me.
I've heard enough personal
stories during my twenty-five
years of teaching students from
various ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds to support my
belief that some police regularly
abuse the power of their position.
I know what I saw on the
Rodney King video was not a
man trying to inflict bodily harm
on the fifteen or so policemen
surrounding him.
I also watched the report of the
white truck driver dragged from
his truck and beaten and thought
that could be me.
But the odds of that being me
are far less than the odds of my
being harassed by the police or
other if I were a man of color in
America.
On the radio this morning I
listened to a poem by an African
American man which ended with
the line, "Now I know I am not a
Black American, but a Black man
who lives in America. Four hundred years after being taken from
their land, dehumanized, and
forced to provide the labor for
other men's profits, African
Americans are still looked at as
less than human, less than citizens. Some people will say that
the looting and violence in L.A.
support this view. These same
people easily forget the atrocities
perpetrated by people of European descent on non-Europeans
and Europeans alike.

millions of Africans during their
enforced passage from their
homelands to the Americas, the
near genocidal destruction of Native American peoples, the present
day mutual slaughter of Croats,
Serbs, Slavs, the "collateral destruction" of women and children
inlraq. Idonotmean to minimize
the destruction and violence of
the past three days, but no ethnic
group or race has a monopoly on
violence or the inhumane. When
the numbers are tallied at the end
of this uprising, they will show
that it is not European American
people who have suffered most,
but African Americans and other
non-European Americans.
In the past few months, there
has been grumbling among some
staff of LCC about the hiring of an

Affirmative Action Director,
about the allocation of money to
the office in these times of measure 5. There is talk of "imposition from above," when action is
proposed to develop curriculum
whichreflects theknowledgeand
experience of the diverse citizenry
of this country, action which some
staff have too often trivialized or
seen as unnecessary. There is a
fear that _"less qualified" people
may begin to get jobs here. For
me, this is comparable to the talk
that I heard from a juror in the
King beating. She stated, "What
would happen if all the cops quit?"
What she meant was "Who will
protect Simi Valley from being
'invaded'?" I now wonder if those
who are "concerned" about

Perry Keet· P.I.

a

changes here at LCC aren't wondering who is going to keep LCC
from being invaded by "them"?
To paraphrase the words of
Ishmael Reed, an African American writer, "they" are here and
havebeenhereforalo ngtime. It's
time, it's past time that European
Americans opened their eyes to
the wealth of knowledge and experience that can be found in the
diversity of this country. In these
times when many are worrying
about the survival of American,
we should begin a dialogue with
those who know a lot about surviving. As a problem, Measure 5
is relatively insignificant in comparison to five hundred years of
genocide and oppression. Those
who have made it through that

Mr. k'tet:~ ihiS is

experience and, in the course of
doing so, have created and sustainedstrong, vibrantcultureshave
a lot to teach us. I hope thatLCC
will immediate! y intensify its long
. overdue task of diversifying the
curriculum and the staff who develop and teach it. It will require
some reallocation of funds, but
more importantly it will require
the active involvement of staff at
all levels of the college. If you
feel it is your "responsibility" to
obstruct this type of action or that
this is not your problem, an
American bard expressed my response with eloquent directness,
"Get out of the way if you can't
lend a hand. For the times they are
a'changing."

Trio's collection -of
poetry-- a natural
by CHARLES R. SMITH
Torch Staff Writer

''The works of poetry concern topics such as Northwest ecology, the
ancient forest, men and women, love, sex, and the mythology and
mystery of this area," says poet and LCC English instructor Erik
Muller.
The Denali magazine will be sponsoring a poetry reading by Peter
Jensen, Dave Johnson, and Muller in the Blue Door Theater on
Wednesday, May 13 at 3 p.m. The readings will be selections from
their new book entitled Confluence.
The three Eugene writers -worked in a co-operative spirit while
creating the book, trading ideas and advising each other along. This
mood carries over when they do readings of their poetry. "One of the
things we enjoy doing while reading is to weave together thematically,
bouncing off each other like jazz or folk musicians," Peter Jensen
explains. Jensen is an English instructor at LCC as well as working as
an advisor to the literary art magazine, Denali.

'Salsa Waffle' serves its music al fresco
'Salsa Waffle' band members; LCC instructor John Workman, piano; Grant Law, bass;
and Tim Dutton, drums, brought their own flavor of Latin influenced jazz to the molten
masses during a noon concert May 4.

After a long selection process, the writers selected 85 poems for the
118 page book which they had bound in a forest green cover. "After a
year and a half, the book is in our hands," says Dave Johnson,
contributing editor of "What's Happening." Johnson, who is the author
of several books, has also worked in the field of graphic design and is
responsible for the book design.
