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.

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); Tum to SPENDING page 7 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.

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 personality traits of panikers, please phone Kimberly Harding 484-0256 Participants will receive a free personality profile.

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." Blooining balloons 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- Birthright of Eugene 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.

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. Jesse Jackson, always ready for a photo opportunity Nevertheless, police are usually given the benefit of and quick sound bite, said Los Angeles was already a the doubt.

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!! Syble Corey 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? BobMadyn 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. td been rn1r1a-hu111an 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 \.low&rd Chyrpir1 l'r-ocl"c.er of •The Swallo..,;' :t ha"e a c.ac;e fo..- -to"• ~re yov a .. ai table? 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." oOOH, :t'd say Sc, . case- T11e oHice wa,;open tr:>r b.,s·,ne;s a9air1, bvt a1\ wa<; quiet e><cept ~or t '1e. r,oi<;e o+ ~'I .fav- o..-·,t e radio snow ... 11 The burning of buildings pales in comparison to the burning of six million Jews, the slaughter of The Torch May 8, 1992 Page5 rMM J• ..%5.., ,w •• L!.&<v'L,,,.,_tL~-~t:,,.,,. __,_E ; ; ii3 ~ ~I ~ •c•~-1 1 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. Photo by Dano Krizan '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.

Woodland's networking with other campuses allows Delansky to "appreciate what a good positive representative can do for a campus," she says.
