Board approves tuition hike
Bidding process draws fire from business owner

by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor
At its May 13 meeting, the
LCC Board of Education unanimously approved a $1 per credit
tuition increase and received notice from a part-time instructor of
his intention to sue the college
over its contract bidding process.
Slated to begin fall term 1992,
the tuition increase - the second
in as many years - is expected to
generate more than $300,000 in
additional revenue and will help
offset the predicted $3 million
funding shortfall expected for the
1993-94 fiscal year.
"The only reason I voted for it
is because (the funds are) locked
up," says board member Chuck
Ivey. The resolution allows only
the board to access monies generated from the hike, and not until
1993-94. In the meantime, the
funds will be tucked away into a
savings account, and "We'll
probably only use it if there is
some great emergency," says Ivey.
Vice President of Student
Services Bob Marshall reported
that at a public hearing on May
12, students expressed concerns
that in addition to a tuition increase,

class and incidental fees might
also be raised. Other student
worries include classes that require
four or five textbooks.
"They weren't worried about
the tuition increase so much as
increased additional fees" on top
of a tuition increase, Marshall told
the board.
Recommended by the Tuition
Committee, the increase affecL'i
all students, and is as follows:
• Change in-state to $24 per
credit hour from $23.
• Increase international/out-ofstate tuition to $89 per credit hour
from $88.

Suit threatened

Ron Meyers, an LCC part-time
electronics instructor, told the
board he plans to file a "loss of
profit" civil lawsuit in light of
what he perceives to be the unfair
process utilized by the college to
evaluate sealed bids for equipment
purchases.
Meyers owns Computer Data
Exchange, a company disqualified from furnishing the college
with microcomputers to support
its new mainframe because it had
not been in the computer business
for three years or more.
He contends LCC broke the

law because it did not send out or
publish award letters to unsuccessful bidders. This,hesays,does
not allow for anyone to contest
the award.
"Your bidding process is
flawed and needs to be corrected,"
Meyers told the board.
But Lloyd Rain, LCC Purchasing director, says Oregon
Administrative statutes specificallystate"Publiccompaniesneed
not notify unsuccessful bidders"
in such a process.
Rain and other LCC officials
refused further comment because
the matter may go into litigation.
Unless he receives a letter of
apology within 14 days for typographic errors on a bid tabulation
for his company, Meyer told the
Torch on Mayl4, "I plan to sue
the college. Frankly, I'm disgruntled."
Meyers maintains the college
is paying an additional $42,000 in
costs because it awarded the computer contract to Ornnitek Computers of Eugene instead of his
company. He a1leges that Omnitek
was allowed to submit two bids,
and the second bid was accepted.
"That's pretty suspicous. I'm
wary of LCC's sealed-bid process."

Students want special election

But Student Activities Director says petition not valid
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor
A student group calling itself
the Committee for Fair Representation in Student Government has
collected what it estimates to be
nearly 500 signatures to force a
special election which, the group
says, would establish a clear voting mandate on the ASLCC
Presidency. The new election
would pit President-elect Bill .
Hollingsworth against runner-up
Vincent Jones.
But Student Activities Director Barbara Delansky refuses to
release any student funds for such
an election, stating that the petition is not valid.
"The election was clean," she
says. No violation has been
committed on the part of
Hollingsworth, she says, leaving
no grounds for a recall election.
Yet committee advisor and
active participant Joann Wilson
insists that the petition is valid
under Article XIV of the ASLCC
Constitution -- the Initiative, Recall, and Referendum section
which states:

"A petition containing a minimum of 500signatures of ASLCC
members will be sufficient to
warrant a special initiative, referendum, or recall election."
Wilson says that never before
in LCC history have there been
four candidates running for
president. And she maintains that
under the U.S. Constitution, a
presidential race with three or
more candidates must have a primary election to determine the
two front-runners. Citing the
ASLCC Constitution, Article III,
Section 10, she says the student
government cannot take action
which abridges the privileges set
forth in the U.S. or state constitutions.
The ASLCC Constitution does
state, however, that candidates
shall be elected by a plurality of
the votes cast, which means the
candidate with the most votes wins
the election.
"I'm not convinced that anything will come of it," says
Delansky. "I still don't think
they've got a case."
If the group does collect 500

signatures, she says, the matter
will go before a judiciary committee, consisting of three senate
members, three students at-large,
and a chairperson, who will be
appointed by the ASLCC President.
Wilson anticipates collecting
the necessary signatures without
any trouble. She claims that students are eagerIy approaching the
group, wishing to sign the petition.
She also claims that the sentiment
she's hearing is that the election
was "too confusing," with four
candidates.
Wilson herself was a contender
for the presidential office, along
with Jones and Frank.i Surcamp.
Surcamp and Jones support the
new election effort, although Jones
has indicated that it will take far
more than 500 signatures to convince him that the cost of a new
election is warranted.
Hollingsworth says he is relatively unconcerned about the attempt to force a new election. "I
am focusing on the future," he
says. "I don't have time for this
kind of thing."

Purpose of OSPIRG
at LCC explained
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor

This is the first of a two-part series detailing the actions and
budgetary matters of the Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group. This week will deal with OSPIRG' s role on the LCC campus.
Complaints about Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group's
(OSPIRG) lack of involvement on the LCC campus are unfounded,
says Campus Organizer Dalene Lovie, who directs student OSPIRG
activities on campus.
Students around campus are frequently heard expressing discontent
with paying a$2 pertermstudentfee tofund OSPIRG. In fact, ASLCC
President-elect Bill Hollingsworth has pledged to circulate petitions
next fall to mandate a special election which would ask students to
decide whetherornotthey would like to continue funding for OSPIRG.
Students expect to see OSPIRG more extensively involved in
campus issues, says Lovie, such as recycling. That's where the
misconceptions form, she says.
Perched in front of a busy spring term calendar, Lovie explains that
OSPIRG is a state organization which works through the member
campuses (U of 0, LCC, Lewis & Clark, and Portland State University) to educate students about issues and raise awareness about
community concerns.
The whole premise behind OSPIRG, says Lovie, is that a profesTurn to OSPIRG, p·age 7

Undeclared candidate gains ·Few hopefuls apply
ground in fierce presidential race MediaCommissiontoconvene,lack
by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH

Torch Lead Writer

Texas billionaire Ross Perot, the undeclared candidate, is rapidly gaining momentum in the 1992
presidential race. Recent polls continue to show him
gaining ground on President Bush and Governor
Clinton.
In Lane County alone, the Perot Petition Committee of Oregon has collected over 13,000 signatures. Perot needs two-and-a-half percent of registered voters in the state, approximately 37,000 valid
signatures by August 25 to get on the November ballot
Jim Hale, local committee chainnan, says he is
confident the petition drive will be a success.
"Originally people said Ross Perot would take
votes away from Bush. He's taking away from
Clinton and Bush," Hale explains.
"Perot supporters tend to be middle-of-the-road
voters who feel very strongly something has to be
done to change the direction of the country. They are
concerned with the question of economics, job
development and dealing with the huge deficit'this
nation is facing."
Perot is expected to make a final decision to run
for the highest office in the country in early June.
Campaign officials predict he'll choose June 27, his
sixty second birthday.
Polls also point to Perot's popularity.
A May 12 article in the Register..Guard reported

Perot could win the nomination in Oregon.
The poll, conducted for KATU-TV in Portland
by TH Research, showed Perot received supJX)rt
from 42 percent of the 600 surveyed voters, compared with 3 I percent for Bush and 21 percent for
Clinton. Six percent were undecided.
Hale says much of Perot's popularity stems from
the "mystique that surrounds him."
"It's his personality. It's the legend. He's working
on the P.O.W. questions (from the Vietnam war).He
sent people to rescue two of his employees who were
taken hostage by the government in Iran.
"Instead of being a candidate that no party will
support~ Hale explains,•hc is someone who can
extract cooperation from both parties."
Current random polls show Perot's supporters arc
growing nationwide ..
The latest Washington PosVABC News survey
gives Perot 30 percent of the voters support, compared to 31 percent for Clinton and 36 percent for
Bush, according to U.S News and World Report.
Perot has already made it on the official ballots in
Tennessee and Utah. On Monday, May 11, he
turned over 225,000 signatures in rus home state of
Texas. If verifiable, he has four times the needed
signatures to get on the ballot in that state.
A press conference is slated by members of the
Perot Petition Committee of Oregon in Portland on
Friday, May 15 to announce the group's next strategic move.

The 1991-92Media Commission will meet May 19 to interview
applications for next years Denali and Torch, LCC's student literary
magazine and newspaper.
Two students, Sonja Taylor and Eric Walstrom, are applying for
the Torch editor position. Both are currently employed as Torch
staff members.
As of the May 9 application deadline, no one had submitted and
application for the Denali position. Torch advisor, Pete Peterson says
the Media Commission may decide to re-open the application process
and possibly meet over the summer to interview potential editors for
the magazine.
Applicants must meet a basic Media Commission requirement of
completing six credits at LCC during the last 12 months and hold a
2.00 GPA or better.
Peterson, a member of the comission, says the group of 15 college
staff and students will review the fonnal applications and then interview each candidate before making a decision.
"Editing the Torch takes good writing skills, good editing skills,
personnel management and personal time management skills," says
Peterson. ''The commission has to choose someone who has those
attributes and can also grow from the experience."
The commission uses a score sheet to rank applicants based on
written and verbal statements, but a final score only serves to help
members evaluate the candidate.
The 15 member commission consists of six faculty members,
three classified employees, one management appointee, three
ASLCC representatives, and the current editors of the Torch and

Denali.

LCC to rally against
ignorance, apathy
by CATE JOHNSON

Torch Staff Writer

On Wednesday. May 20, in support of Rodney
King as well as others such as Malcom X, Martin
Luther King, and John F. Kennedy and "anyone
who's opposed to the status quo," LCC student Brian
Eisencraft will lead a rally at noon in the courtyard.
The rally will also "address the false history we
have been taught" and equating apathy with silence,
which is equal to death, says Eisencraft. "People can
no longer afford to be quiet," he says.
"The rally is against oppression," says Eisen craft.
"And what one person can do."
Eisencraft, who has organized the rally alone,
also organized a march at the U of O a few years ago
protesting the ban of the "Grateful Dead."
LCC President Jerry Moskus will open the rally
with a speech at noon, followed byGerome Garger,
Donna Albro, NASA leaders, Steve Candy, Alan
Siporin, and Ernie Woodland. There will also be an
open discussion for the public.
"One person can do something," he says.
Eisencraft encourages people to call him at 4850473 for any additional information, or to find out
how to help him with the rally.
According to Eisencraft, he would like to see
whole classes get involved and have a walk-out by
students and staff.

Co-op looks to bright future

LCC President Jerry Moskus takes time out of a busy
schedule to lunch with the little people in LCC's childcare coop Tuesday, May 12.
by DEBORAH STOTLER

Torch Lead Writer

This week, the ASLCC Child
Care Co-op celebrated its own
home-grown version of "Dinosaur Week" with a colorful prehistoric diorama depicting dinosaurs in their natural habitat
This miniature reproduction of
ancient days gone by shares the
co-op's contemporary home-like
atmosphere, which is electric with
the futuristic dreams and expectations of the co-op 's driving forces,
Sue Ferguson and Franki
Surcamp.
Voted into existence by the
LCC student body in Spring 1991,
the student operated co-op opened
its doors for business last winter.
With only 36 spaces available at
any one time, its waiting list of
150 children demonstrates a great
need for affordable child care,
says Ferguson, the co-op's director.

i.

For Ferguson, the co-op's
phenomenal growth fosters visions of an expanded facility in
the near future with "two, maybe
three" additional modular buildings, she says.
And beginning next fall, the
co-op will offer seminars and
workshops that focus on improving parenting skills "to the entire
community- not just students,"
says Surcamp, the co-op's
ASLCC coordinator.
But the future which concerns
Ferguson and Surcamp most is
that which belongs to the children
who attend the co-op; the only
college campus, student funded
child care center in the U.S.
The health and well-being of
these children affects everyone's
futures, they assert, and more than
justifies the co-op's operational
cost.
When people question her
about the need for an on-campus
day care center, as well as the cost

involved ($5 per student pertenn),
the 26-year-old Surcamp says she
asks them to reevaluate their value
systems. "What's a six-pack of
Bud?" she asks rhetorically.
"You're looking at your future."
Working hand-in-hand since
the co-op's inception, Ferguson
and Surcamp resemble a twin sister team, each one able to finish
the other's thoughts without skipping a beat. This is especially
evident when they recall the coop's personal triumphs.
Surcamp says, "You know
you've done a good job when a
student tens you ... "
And Ferguson continues the
statement, " ... that if it wasn •t for
this place, they wouldn't be in
school."
One such student parent, Julie
Wells, says she would never have
"survived winter term without the
safe environment" made available to stressed-out parents
through the co-op's open door
policy. Its "unique support system" allows parents to drop-in at
any time and hang out, she says.
"We're just like one big family
here."
Wells, 25, says she almost put
off enrolling in classes "until my
kids were in public school."
What changed her mind?
"This place," she grins, gesturing towards the co-op's door. Inside, drowsy childrens voices and
a sleepy baby·s cry herald the end
of afternoon nap-time.

Vicki Rutledge says she appreciates the "convenient location" and the feeling of security
that comes from having her threcyear-old daughter Leslie so close
at hand. "I like it, Leslie loves it."
For Kathy Kolander and son,
Tyler, it's the "wonderful teachTum to Childcare page 7

Hollingsworth worthy of students' respect, not recall petition

Usually the transitional process goes smoothly as the
newly elected ASLCC officers prepare to assume their
duties while the outgoing officers tie up loose ends.
Usually, the new president begins implementing his/
her agenda and focusing on future goals.
But not this year.
Instead, President-elect Bill Hollingsworth is too
busy fending off what looks to the Torch like unfounded
accusations and sometimes outright lies which question
his character, personal life, and even his sexual habits.
Many of the slurs cross legal boundaries into the land of
slander and libel.
After the final ballot count, on May 6, Hollingsworth
had 39 more votes than second-place candidate Vincent
Jones. Almost immediately, all three losing presidential
candidates started questioning Hollingsworth's credibility and conduct. They grasped desperately for any means
to contest what Student Activities Director Barb Dclansky
has called Hollingsworth's squeaky-clean victory.
Because most of the accusations venture so far beyond the realm of credibility, we will not repeat them.
A group of disgruntled students, with presidential
fourth-place finisher Jo Ann Wilson as an active member,
and Wendy Weir, an LCC Downtown Center student

(who cannot even vote in ASLCC elections) is collecting
signatures in an attempt to force a special runoff election
between Hollingsworth and second-place finisher Vincent
Jones. The group contends that because Hollingsworth
won the election by 39 votes, or 37 percent of the
presidential vote, he does not represent the majority of
LCC students.
The group claims that any time an election has several
candidates running for the same position, a runoff should
be initiated.
Under this flawed logic, there should have been a
runoff between Barbara Roberts and Dave Frohnmeyer
in the 1991 gubernatorial race due to Al Mobley's splitting the Republican vote, allowing Roberts a minority
victory.
If this group is so certain that a runoff is always
necessary, why didn't its members introduce a referendum for such action prior to the final ballot count?
The ASLCC Constitution and bylaws have no provision for a runoff election, except in the event of a tie. The
candidate with a plurality -- the most votes -- wins. A
majority is not needed.
For one thing, no one lodged an election complaint by
8 p.m., May 6, the deadline f?r challenges as stated in the

ASLCC bylaws.
Hollingsworth has done nothing to warrant any type
of recall or runoff election.
Having no legal or legitimate platform on which to
stand, the group is taking phrases and passages out of the
student constitution and twisting them to fit misguided,
selfish goals.
The group should, if it truly believes the election rules
are unfair, focus their energies on changing the bylaws.
But to expect such legislation to affect the outcome of the
1992 elections reveals a sophomoric understanding of
the political process.
Aside from the legal aspects, a special election would
cost students over $800, a fact that Wilson and her
cronies haven't openly disclosed.
Hollingsworth won the election because he worked
harder than any other candidate. He went out to the
students instead of waiting for students to come to him.
Better yet, he currently refuses to lower himself to the
level of his detractors, focusing instead on the job ahead.
We at the Torch have a great deal of respect for
Hollingsworth -- he's earned it. Now he should have the
chance to prove himself, as he will, to the students who
elected him president.

administration officials and their
major media cronies gags me.
Violence not the answer?
Surely that's true. Why then was it
the administration's answer to
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, to
Noriega's CIA-sponsored drug
dealing in Panama, to minor disruptions in Grenada, to Sandinista
efforts in Nicaragua to establish a
system of social and economic
justice after decades of corporation pal Somoza's corruption, to
FMLN attempts to protect working people in El Salvdor from
U.S. financed death squads, etc?
Looting not the answer? Surely
that's also true. But where's national media outrage at the obscene salaries and perks of corporation CEO's? At the slap-on-thewrist punishments for criminal
corporate raiders andsavings-andloan thieves? At "reform" loopholes that reduced taxes of highly
profitable corporations torero and
taxes of millionaires to below
those of a middle-class family?
Where's the local media outcry at city and county giveaways,
tax breaks, and incentives to
wealthy developers? At Bohemia
sale looting of $9.6 million by
Dick Tinney and associates? Apparently good ol' boy, wellgroomed boardroom looting is
condoned as business as usual.
Those who know the truth of
Kahlil Gibran's aphorism, ''The
nets of the legal system are designed to catch only small criminals," are not surprised at the
hypocritical stench arising from
these recent administration and
major media responses.

Bill was "out front" all day long.
Yes, the election was close,
but I didn't see any of the other
candidates out stumping for votes.
Thefactofthematteris, that there
were four candidates on the ballot, which as in any election, split
the votes. Those doing the most
complaining about the election
results should have considered
what might happen when the vote
split, and then considered pulling
out of the race.
Bill Hollingsworth won those
39 votes fair and square. So let's
get on with it.

We wish to make it clear that we are NOT
attempting to recall Mr. Hollingsworth. If he wins
the runoff election, we will be comfortable with the
obvious choice of the student body. We feel that had
Mr. Hollingsworth been in second place by only 39
votes, that he too would be seeking a solution. To
win without the obvious support of your constituents is unfair not only to to those who did not vote for
you, but also to the candidate him/herself. The
majority is not in support and a divided government
will fail. The winner of this runoff election would
provide a clear voice for the student body, and would
remove a lot of dissension. Should we be speaking
here of the personal gocxt of particular candidates, or
the personal gocxt of the student body?

Torch filler
found offensive

To the Editor:

I am writing to you to let you
know I was extremely offended at
afiller you allowed to be published
inyourMay8, 1992editionofthe
Torch. I was totally astounded
that a respectable community
college newspaper would lower
itselftocallingpeoplenames. The
filler that I am referring to is "Recycle, or die, you stupid, filth
monger, inbred fool."
Is it realistic for us to believe
there is a Recycle Big Brother
watching us and if we fail to recycle we will be terminated? I
need to object to the terms "stupid"
and "fool," also. Are your writers
so childish that they need to resort
to this sort of garbage? Everyone
has a right to recycle or not, and I
don't believe it is the responsibility of the Torch to resort to degradation in order to force people
to comply with recycle efforts.
Tammie McFarland
P.S. The word "mongering" is
not even in the word processing
dictionary or any other dictionary
I looked at.

We are not challenging the election process, we
are saluting it. We are NOT asking for a recall
election; we are petitioning for a SPECIAL election;
a RUNOFF election. The ASLCC Constitution
clearly states in Article m, Section 10.0 that "no
committee, agency, or program ... shall make any
rule or take any action abridging the privileges and
immunities of any person or program under the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America,
or the State of Oregon, or the rules of Lane Community College, or the ASLCC Constitution."
Excuse me folks -- this is America -- since when
have we lost the privilege to petition our government? ANY body of government? We have the right
to petition for a special election, pink toilet tissue in
the rest rooms, or any other issue we so choose. We
have the constitutional right to free speech. As to
whether this petition is effective or not is not as
important as the message it sends. Article XIV,
Section 2.0 of the ASLCC Constitution states: "A
petition containing a minimum of 500 signatures of
ASLCC members will be sufficient to warrant a
special initiative, referendum, or recall election."
We arc not taking umbrage with the process that led
to the initial election. There are no provisions for this

An election was held to select your official representatives in student government. This was an historical election. To our knowledge, there have not
been four declared candidates for this position in the
past. In any other election that we can think of, with
this many candidates for one position, there would
be a runoff election for the top two candidates. With
such a close margin between the top two candidates
and such a large gap between the next two candidates, we feel that a runoff election is in order
between Mr. Hollingsworth and Mr. Jones to establish a clear mandate. The voters were clearly polarized.

special circumstance in the ASLCC Constitution,
therefore we are not breaking any rules.
This race has changed the dynamics of future
elections. ASLCC student government is not the
place for a party ticket. This does not provide for a
clear choice; a balanced party ticket sounds the
same, is planned to be the same, and does not provide
the openness and true representation of all groups.
LCC's uniqueness has been it's willingness to welcome diversity. It is our desire to maintain this
individual diversity. In this election you had a party
vote disguised as an individual vote. There is nothing wrong with picking your team when you arc up
front about it, but this does not provide a balanced
ticket nor a true representation of all student factions, and a candidate's personal agendas have no
place in student government.

We will not resort to mudslinging, nor name
calling, nor shouting obscenities across campus, nor
threats of bodily harm, nor slander, as has been the
sad experience of some of your recent candidates.
There have been many witnesses to such incidents,
and I find it appalling that any candidate or their
supporters would resort to such tactics in the name
of "Christian" behavior. When an is said and done,
one must sti II be able to look at yourself in the mirror.
We are petitioning an issue, NOT as a personal
affront to ANY candidate. We arc asking for unity
and fair representation. Student government is not a
game; it is serious business, and demands serious
leaders who are wholly committed to the common
good.
The minority shall beheard,butthemajorityshall
prevail. We ask only for a clear and obvious majority. The students of LCC deserve the right to a fair
voice. Please find us and lend us your support for a
vocal majority.

To the Editor:
The election of ASLCC officers for next year has been over for
nearly a week now, but there is a
lot of garbage going on concerning the fact that Bill Hollingsworth
only won by 39 votes.
Thirty-nine votes is 39 votes!
I had the prfvilege of helping
out in the polling booth in front of
Health/P.E. on election day. I observed Bill Hollingsworth out
front by the fountains talking with

to America with good spirits.

She could only speak Spanish;
they could only speak English. It
wasn't always easy, but they
managed to make a family.
From Guaymas in the Mexican state of Sonora, petite Lucero
Ramirez wanted to come to the
US to learn English but didn't
think it was possible.
That's where the Mickalsons
and the Allyns, from Dexter, OR
came in.
Mike and Helen Mickalson
had met Lucero's mother about
seven or eight years ago in the
restaurant where she works. I l
was during one of the
Michaelson's annual nine month

stays in a trailer park in Guaymas.
Through the use of body and sign
language and four Spanish/English dictionaries they became
friends. When the Mickalsons
learned that 22 year old Lucero
wanted to come to the US to learn
English but did not have enough
money to come on her own, they
talked to their daughter and sonin-law, Lorraine Allyn, who is the
Assistant Payroll Manager and
Darrell Allyn, who works for
Campus Servises. And on August 30, 1991, Lucero came to
live with the Allyn family.
"I like them a lot,"Lucerosavs
enthusiastically.
Lucero integrated quickly and
gets along well with the Allyns.
She is easygoing, talkative and
active says Lorraine Allyn.

One obstacle the family encountered was due to the differences in the American and Mexican cultures. "One time, one of
my sons and my husband, Darrell,
were yelling at each other and I
got in the middle of it, or something. It was a technical family
squabble. I saw Lucero's eyes
getting bigger and bigger and she
went to her room. It really scared
her-in Mexico, children do not
argue back with their parents,"
Lorraine says.
She says Lucero felt like family
right from the beginning. "We
had heard so much about each
other that we already felt like we
knew each other," says Lorraine.
"She couldn't speak any English
when she got here so the hardest
problem we had was the language
barrier."
But that barrier didn't stand
inLucero's , way. She began attending LCC for English as a
Second Language, reading and
grammar classes.
"We also found ways around
the language barrier," adds
Lorraine Allyn. "We discovered

if we write down the word on
paper, usually we could figure it
out because a lot of words have
the same Latin root. You 'II miss
the verb tenses, but you'll have an
idea what is being said!"
Lucero says the first few
months she was here were hard
because she couldn't understand
much English. "I like to talk a lot
andknowthepeople. Ihearpeople
laughing and I get frustrated when
I can't understand what they're
laughing about. At the beginning,
I was tired all of the time from
speaking English. Right now, I
can understand about 60 percent
of what is being said. But I am
happy with my progress," she says.
"Lucero is very bright and it's
amazing how quickly she's
learned," says Lorraine. You can
see her progress just week to
week."
Lucero earned an accounting
degree from a four-year technical
university on the outskirts of
Guaymas before she came to the

"So we said her 'compelling
reason' was her mother who lives
in Guaymas. They allowed that
because she owns property and
has a business," Lorraine said.

Although she likes the US,
she plans to return to Guymas.
"My whole family is there," she
says. "I would like to come back
and visit or live here in the US
temporally. But if not, I will go
back to Mexico to live and I will
be happy."

US. 'The town where Lucero
comes from is a fishing economy
and it is really depressed right
now," says Lorraine. "If she is
bilingual, her earning capacity in
Mexico will double."

In August or September she
will return to Guymas. She is
anxious to see her family and
friends again, go to the parties in
her town, and eat her mother's
cooking.
"I will miss everyone here,"
Lucero says. But in the few
months remaining, Lucero will
continue to concentrate on learning English the American way of
life. "Darrell and Lorraine are
teaching me how to drive nowbut I am still nervous to go on the
freeway!"

Then, the Allyns ran into another obstacle. In order for Lucero
to be able to return to Mexico after
her one-year stay here in Oregon,
she had to get documentation together to prove that she had
"compelling reasons" to return.
The American government is
stringent on their requirements
for allowing people to come from
Mexico- more so than from any
other country, says Allyn.

"She couldn't have a visitors
visa because that was only for
three months and you can't learn
the language in three months. So
we got her a student visa," says
Lorranine.

Lucero says she likes many
things about the US. For example,
she likes is the bus system in
Eugene. "The system is organized
and the service is good," she says.
"I would like to have that in

'They don 'tjust baby-sit here,"
she says. "They teach the kids."
The majority of the mothers
say it's the low cost, however,
which makes the co-op the most
attractive childcare option around.
The cost per month varies, but

"Without the co-op, I wouldn't

The community's support is
particularly rewarding for
Ferguson and Surcamp. Donations of cash and playground
equipment continue to come in all
the time, says Ferguson.
"The parents have donated an
awful lot of stuff, including an
entire case of coffee" for the staff's
consumption, she says. Numerous other philanthropic gestures
include: The LCC maintenance

crew's contribution of time and
landscaping expertise; the
cruldren's generous gifts of outgrown toys; and arts and crafts
supplies from local businesses.
According to Ferguson, donations don't necessarily have to be
material objects to be of value.
She says she encourages everyone who is "a kid at heart" to visit
the co-op "family" and volunteer.
"Be a kid for a day ... bury
yourself in the sand and have a

things happen." The organization hires researchers,
issue specilaists, scientists, and other public policy
experts.
On the campuses, organizers such as Lovie work
with students to create projects which accomplish
goals set by the state Board of Directors with the aid
of campus input. It's the creative, idealistic edge that
students have, though, that makes OSPIRG work.
'That's why I think OSPIRG is special," she
says.

Among the projects OSPIRG works on are the
annual Toy Safety Survey (Dangerous Dozen), and
the Hunger and Homelessness Cleanup. OSPIRG is
also responsible for pressuring state legislators to
sponsor laws which severly punish companies that
pollute the environment with toxics.
Although OSPIRG hasn't been as visible this
year as she would have liked, says Lovie, the organization has not been inactive. Students have worked
on a postcard campaign against toxics, and sponsored Conservation Day and Earth Day events on the
campus.

The beginner program, called Motorcycle Rider
Course: Riding and Street Skills (MRC:RSS), is a 16hour training session which includes seven hours of
classroom instruction and nine hours of riding experience in the east parking lot. The MRC:RSS course fee
is $45, plus a $2 registration fee.
An eight-hour Experienced Rider Course (ERC)
teaches survival skills for the motorcyclist who has at
least one year of riding experience. The ERC fee is

Governor Barbara Roberts declared the month of
May as "Motorcycle Awareness Month."
Over 204,000 Oregonians ride motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds for pleasure, or use them as a major
form of transportation.
Many of them learn how to become safe drivers
through the Team Oregon Motorcycle Safety Program
(TOMSP).
Don Metzler,LCC's TOMSPcoordinator, says his
group trained 217 students last year to have fun and
ride safely.
The TOMSP on campus focuses on motorcycle
safety, which includes making motorists more aware
of cyclists, and training motorcyclists to have the skills
and knowledge required for riding.
"Here at LCC, we have an award-winning program," says Metzler. Former awards include best
coordinator, rookie, and instructor of the state.

Metzler says that 72 percent of all motorcycle
accidents involve left-hand turns made by motorists.
"The first thing a motorist says is 'I didn't see them.'"
"High visibility is what we teach the student~
during the program," he says. By wearing vests with
reflective strips and bright colored helmets, one may
be visible to motorists.
Classes are held February through November, each
with a different registration date. Metzler welcomes
any questions. For more information, call 726-2252.

Over the past four years
Kathryn Linn has glued a guitar to
a woman's chest, made a headdress out of foam rubber, and
been responsible for painting
several people blue.
People come up to her and
literally give her the shirt off their
back --gratefully.
It'sallinaday'sworkforLCC's
half-time costume designer.
The woman with the guilar
and the blue painted people were
both part of last year's production
of "A Midsummer Night's
Dream," staged by a visiting direcLor who asked Linn to make
the actors appear as if they were
abstract art in a Miro painting.
"I didn't really like the colors
or the idea, I thought it was awful.
But you have to find a way to fall
in love with it. One of my old
teachers once said 'Designers have
to be like whores -- they have to
find a way to fall in love with their
costumes."'
Linn has gained a reputation
given to her by theater students,

directors, and people in the community, as being able to "come up
with just about anything."
During a typical day in her
basement work room beneath the
Main Theater, people come and
go, all wanting the same thing -clothes.
Today LCC Multicultural Director Connie Mesquita rushes i11
30 minutes before her production
of a play called "Los Vendidos,"
in the Blue Door Theater.
"I need a dark blue 1940s suit
-- quick!" says a breathless
Mesquita. A quiet Latino student
joins in saying "And I need a hat
too!"
Linn quickly goes to one of
several tall yellow closets that line
the room, opens the door, and
deftly picks out a dark suit from
thcassortmentofWcstPointflannel capes, ballroom dresses and
Mexican serapes.
The student puts the pants on
over his own and looks in the 8
foot high three-way mirror in the
middle of the room.
"Yah, this is okay. But I need a
hat, too."
Linn points, without looking,
to a brown felt Indiana Jones hat
lying on a cluttered table nearby.
After adding suspenders to the
outfit, Mesquita and the student
leave, shouting "thank you" on
their way out.
"I always have actors running
in and out asking 'Do you have a
hat? Do you have a mustache?"'

On her work table strewn with
shiny sequins, pieces of silver

red velvet, she spreads out pencil
sketches of her latest costume
ideas, for the May 22 opening of
"Double Vision" put on by LCC's
Music and Dance Departments. •
She's painted one sketch in
bright blues, yellows, and reds to
represent a different country in
each one-piece gam1ent. ln addition to color and style, the costumes have to be made flexible to
allow the dancer's freedom of
movement.
After the sketches and painted
renderings have been approved
by the director, Linn develops a
cardboard pattern, some of which
can be seen hanging throughout
the room. She buys her material at
a local retail store which she says
"has the most wonderful fabric,"
and starts cutting out the gannent.
"I try to create a visual metaphor of the dramatic ideas being
presented," says Linn, who
chooses to dress herself plainly in
a white t-shirt and jeans, her long
hair pulled back in a ponytail.
Sitting on a stool amid all the

LCC will see double May 22 and 23, in "Double Vision," an evening
showcasing the talents of over 25 dancers and 20 musicians, comprised
of LCC students, faculty and members of the community.
"Double Vision is a very full, dynamic performance for the eyes, the
ears, the heart, and the soul," says Artistic Director Mary Secreiter.
Seereiterdescribes the dances as "lively.gymnastic and technical,"
and says the audience wi11 be entertained and encouraged to think at the
same time. Several styles of dance will be performed including jazz,
ballet, and modem.
Seereiter says live music offers spontaneity, and a "chance clement"
to the dancers' performances.
"The musicians and the dancers open a new view of what dance is,
and the many ways there are to express emotion through dance," says
Seereiter. "Double Vision is a very full, dynamic performance for the
eyes, the ears, the heart and the soul."
Barbara Myrick and Larry Clabby, Lane Performing Arts faculty
members, will play piano selections from Brahm's "Hungarian Dances,"
which will accompany a performance of Seereiter's humorous dance
piece "Touch and Go!" Myrick and Clabby will also play a piano
arrangementofMoskowski's "Four Spanish Dances," to accompany a
ballet choreographed by Kym Heming.
LCC Dance instructor Cara Siler will present her dance quartet
called "Affectionate Soul," accompanied by the electronic music of
Joan Meyer.
Jack Coelho, a former student of Berklee School of Music in
Boston, and a well-known jazz guitarist in Eugene, has composed an
original percusssion-only composition for a solo dance by Seereiter.
Seereiter will then join U of O faculty dance member Sherry Barr
for a duet called "Polemics." The duet will be accompanied by Na than
Cammack and his LCC String Ensemble group.
Showtime is 8 p.m. in LCC's Main Theater. Tickets are $4 for
students, children and senior citizens, $6 for adults. Tickets are
available at the LCC Box Office, Hult Center Ticket outlets, Marketplace Books and Backstage Dancewear. For more information call the
LCC Box Office at 726-2202.

Costume

In addition to outfitting several
LCC shows in the Main Theater
and the Blue Door Theater, she i~
responsible for dressing beginning actors who need h~lp ;ith
their midtenn presentations. She
also lends garments to community theater groups, high school
productions, .a nd local video
projects.

Preceded by

songwriting "my own therapy."
"A lot of it's about my life and
what I've gone through. It's really
personal," he says.
He spent a year at LCC learning such essentials as music theory
andsightreading,andfeels "much
more focused now." He plans to
continue working toward a degree in music from the U of 0.

four of Scofield's original songs
at Don Ross Studios in Eugene. In
the near future the band hopes to
make a full length tape for local

Soulfish will appear May 22 at

"Soulfish" band members from lower left to lower right: Bill
Black, Steve Holst, Jeff Langston, .Jon Scofield. The band will
bring their hybrid musical sound to New Max's May 22.

Last winter term she taught a
class of 12 students the art of
"Costuming the theater," as well.
"I'm a half-ti.me costumer that
works overtime!'' she explains.
When she was a little girl, she
would dress herself and her friends
and than sing and dance. During
that time her mother took her to
several '1ifferent theaters including the San Francisco Opera.
"I didn't want to be an actor, I
wanted to be behind the scenes. I

hands up if you hold on too
tightly," says Linn. First she made
a felt mold of each actor's head,
than arranged and spray-painted
the "hair."
They were so stiff she says
"When we were done, we could
just roll them down the hallway!"

Sou lfish band leader Jon
Scofield is hoping to cast his band's
musical hook into some of the
watering holes of Eugene.
Scofield feels the group's
unique musical blend and .divergent talent will help them ride the
wave to success.
Originally formed in January
of 1988 as a four-piece rhythm
and blues band, Soulfish has
changed over the years. Band
members have come and gone,
each leaving their own mark on
the music. Original members
Scofield and keyboardist Sky
Sterry, have been joined by current members, Brian Kaiser on
bass, Stephen Holston guitar, and
Bill Black on drums.
Theirmusicishardtopindown;
at times it's frenetic with a driving
rock and roll rhythm, and at other
times it's heavily influenced by
rhythm and blues. But one thing is
for certain, once drummer BHI
Black gets to work, every foot in
the room starts movin'.
Scofield says the music he
listens to -- country, reggae, funk,
and rock -- make up much of his
group's music. But, by the time
the band finishes working it out,
what starts as a blues song may
become a blues - funk - reggae hybrid.
"It's a unique blend of sound.
Everyone adds their own ideas to
the music."

ing the entire track program, including four coaching assistants,
organizing a budget, recruiting,
retaining athletes to attend LCC
until graduation or transfer, and
of course, training.
Job duties will consist of 30%
coaching, while 70% will be instructing within the athletic department. This position will require a master's degree, one reason that Calloway stepped down.
Thischangeintheheadcoach's
position occurs at a time when the
track team is at an all-time low
with only two women and 1Omen,
says Athletic Director Harland
Yriarte.
The final six semi-finalists are:
Marrian Docten, head coach at
Mira Costa, in Ocean Side, California.
Brad Joens, assistant coach at
the University of Texas in San
Antonio.
Tom Lionvale, head coach at
Porterville College, in Porterville,
California.
Tom Millbrook, coach at
Canby High School in Canby,
Oregon.
Dan King, head coach at East
Union College, in Manteca, California.
James Wharton, al East Washington State University in Cheney,
Washington.
"At this point there are no standouts within the applicants,'' Yriarte
says. 'The applicants are good
enough that if we drew one of
their names out of a hat any of
them would be a great benefit to
the LCC program. It has been
very hard narrowing the list
down."
