Lane Community College Instructor at center of election controversy by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor Photo by Erin Naillon Social Science Instructor Greg Delf In the aftermath of ASLCC's spring election, several students have expressed concerns, that Social Science Instructor Greg Delf used undue influence in his classes to tum the tide for several candidates. Brad Warren, a student in Delfs History of Western Civilization class charges that Delf "recruited" students from the classes to run for student senate positions on a "conservative ticket" with presidential candidate Bill Hollingsworth. With the exception of Treasurer-elect Federico Hernandez, all of the 13 elected ASLCC members are, or have been members of Delfs history classes. Warren further asserts that Delf may have been pushing a "hidden agenda" by encouraging favored student~ from his classes. Delf admits, "I encouragd my students to get involved." And he's "delighted" they won. But that's where it ends, he says. He says he took minimal class time to encourage students to vote in the election, pointing out class members who happened to be running. Christina Prather, a memberof Delfs 10 a.m. history class, says she's never heard the instructor support candidates or use class time unwisely. "He's very good about leaving personal business out of class," she says. Warren says even if Delf used time outside of class it is questionable. "We're talking about a 'special interest group,"' says Warren, with "right-wing viewpoints." He objects lo an instructor approaching students and promoting a "hidden agenda." He asks if voters knew they were casting ballots "for members of a conservative group." Delf has heard the complaints -- in fact, he says, some claim he helped organize a "conservative Christian" ticket. First, Delf maintains that "block tickets" are perfectly legal. "There's nothing secret about "block voting," he says. "There's nothing wrong with it." In fact, he says in 1990-91 President Michael Omogrosso ran with a block ticket. Second, Delf objects to the use of "conservative Christians" when referring to those elected senate members from the printed flyer. "If there's a common thread running through the group," he says, "it's quality -- good students committed Lo good student government." The newly elected senate members are drawn from Tum to Delf, page 13 Feespaystaffsalaries Grateful Dead will play Elmira for LCC's OSPIRG . by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor This is the second part ofa two-part series examining the role ofthe Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group on the LCC campus and how it differs from the Oregon State Public Interest Rea.search Group. Each LCC student pays $2 per term in student fees to fund the public interest research group, OSPIRG. Some students are aware of the fee and approve of it; some are ignorant of the OSPIRG OSPIRG funding; others think their fees are wasted; and some say paying fees to an organization which lobbies the Oregon legislation violates Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax code.

One stipula15.6% Operating Expenses tion of this status, however, is that the tax exempt institution may not involve itself in political campaigns or in attempting to influence legislation -- it may not lobby. The disbursement of student fees to OSPIRG, claim some students, violates IRS tax code. A similar debate involving a PIRG occurred in New York, when a student at New York State University brought action in federal court claiming that allocation of his student activity fee to NYPIRG was unconstitutional, and that NYPIRG had only an incidental educational component. The United States District Court found this not to be the case, declaring that NYPIRG's political activities did not diminish its educational value to the universities and colleges it was rooted in. Drawing from the New York ruling, LCC's attorney, Timothy Harold, found that as long as levied funds were directed to educatum to Ospirg, page 14 m by ERIC JAMES Torch Contributing Editor EUGENE- By a narrow margin, Lane County Commissioners gave the "go-ahead" for a twoday Grateful Dead concert near Elmira after a tense four -hour hearing. On May 20, against the wishes of some area residents, the commission gave permission for the Dead to celebrate their third decade of perfonning in Eugene. Commissioners Steve Comacchia, Jack Roberts, and Jerry Rust voted to approve the pennit, saying state law left them no choice. Commissioners Marie Frazier and board Chairwoman Ellie Dumdi, whose district includes the Elmira community, voted against issuing the permit. The concert will be Aug. 22 and23inthesamewoodedareaas the Countr}' Fair. "People that go to the concerts are for the most part extremely courteous,respectful,andconscientious," says Downtown Deb Trist, a local radio personality for KLCC and KA VE. Buttheresidentsareconcemed about fire hazards or vandalism the concert might cause. Trist says, "During the '72 and '82 concerts, there was very little impact on the environment." The band asks its fans to be considerate and respectful of the environment in writing. She adds, 'Therearenoproblemseverwith water, security, facilities, or traffie." The Grateful Dead fans say they are victims of "cultural big- otry."Theconc~rt, say f'.1'1s, i.s a pea~ful gathenng that 1s bemg unfairly attacked. As the host of "Dead Air," a program which focuses on the Dead's music, Trist went to the meeting Wednesday night to observe the proceedings, take part, andspeak.Shesays, "My children joined me at the meeting." She told l11e Commissioners, "Folks, my kids are here tonight because they want to sec the Dead." About 200 people auendcd the hearing, both supporting and opposing issuing the permit for the Dead. "We can work together, and as John Lennon said, 'There's no problems, only solutions,"' says Trist. An AP press release was ob- tained from KLCC for the story. '92-93 Torch editor appointed Producing a dynamic, hardhitting newspaper will be a major goal for next year's Torch, says newly-appointed 1992-93 Editor Sonja Taylor. LCC 's Media Commission met Tuesday, May 19 to choose student editors for LCC's media publications, the Torch and Denali. The commission voted to reopen the position of Denali editor, citing a lack of applicants from which to choose. Taylor says she would like to involve students as much as possible in publishing the Torch, and plans to reach out to the student body on a regular basis for story ideas. Measure Five will have a great impact on LCC, she says, and the Torch will need to establish a strong foundation to weather the blow. "I really appreciate Sonja's quiet intelligence - she's lowkey, but she ·should never be underestimated," says Joe Harwood, Torch editor and Media Commission member. The commission is urgently seeking applicants for Denali. Students with a strong design and literary arts background are encouraged to apply. Applications are av ail able from Dorothy Weame in Center 205D, Jack Powell in the English and Foreign Language Department, Center Sonja Taylor 448-A, or Bonita Rinehart, in Center 479F. Applications are due May 29, and a selection will be made June 4. ~-.

"The main objective of giving the scholarships is to get the students tocornmiuoserious participation," says Barbara Breaden, director of the Forensics Team. The college awards full 12-credittuition waivers, worth $276, to qualifying students. While the total number to be awarded has not been established yet because the budget is not final. Breaden expects four students to receive full scholarships. The two sllldents chosen for the positions of assistant coach and team manager are to receive two of the four awards offered. To be eligible, an applicant must be a full-time student at LCC at the time he/she receives the grant, and must either enroll in LCC forensics classes (Sp 170, 171, 172), or be an experienced participant in LCC, college, or high school forensics.

Lee Business Department names students of year Recipients extremely motivated by CHARLES R. SMITH Torch Staff Writer The Business Department has selected Katherine Heiser and Andred Gianuzzi as 1991-92 "Business Students of the Year." "Both recipients were hardworking and motivated, exhibiting good grades, attitudes and work ethic," says James Cagney, the Business Department chair. Heiser is an Office Administration and Accounting major and was also the Outstanding Office Administration Student of the Year. Gianuzzi has also received the Wall Street Journal Award for business studies. He tutors accounting students and serves on the Business Department's advisory committee. Gianuzzi is a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the community college honor society. LCC business instructors nominated students they believed should recei vc the annual award, then a committee of three instructors choose lhc recipients. Members of the selecting committee this year arc Fred Meyer, who co-ordinates the Cooperative Work Experience for the department, Marilyn Rholl who teaches accounting, and Connie Clark who teaches professional development, business communication, and several other business coµrscs. Photos by Dana Krizan "The decision was very difficult," according to Meyer, adding that many qualified students were nominated, but says Gianuzzi and Heiser deserved the award the most. Students speak out LCC's Affirmative Action officer Donna Albro was one of several speakers at an antiracism rally on campus Wednesday, May 20. Springfield Mayor Bill Morrisette also addressed the crowd. New ASLCC officers approved, LTD rejects newest rate proposal by KELLEY EGRE Torch Staff Writer ASLCC ended another year with the ratification of newlyelected 1992-93 student government representatives at their May 21 meeting. Bill President New Hollingsworth and Vice President Bonita Rinehart commenced the meeting by reinstating parliamentary procedure as a guide for future sessions, replacing this year's consensus procedure. ASLCC Child Care Co-op Coordinator Franki Surcamp resigned from her position, effective in June. She reasoned that she has otherresponsibilities she needs to focus on next year, but plans to remain involved with ASLCC and the co-op as much as possible. Surcamp says she is currently working to fill 6 co-op openings available for LCC's summer session. "It will be tough though," she says. "There are six openings with a 150 member waiting list (of people who applied for an opening)." The spots will be allotted to students on a first-come, firstserve basis on June 22, 9 a.m., in the child care co-op. Other business: • Former ASLCC President Ernie Woodland and Surcarnp requested funds, totalling $973.50, to attend the United States Student Association's (USSA) Summer Congress on August 4-9. Woodland is currently the Chairperson of the Community College Association of the USSA and hopes to generate more West Coast participation. Surcamp has been asked by USSA to present a workshop on LCC's Child Care Co-op, the first and only Community College coop in the country. Surcamp stresses that the infonnation she will obtain may be useful to next year's students and senate. Their request was tabled until ASLCC's May 28 meeting. • LTD negotiations remain relatively the same, says U of 0 student Martin Lewis. Lewis, LCC Budget Committee Chairman and LCC's LTD conegotiator, says LCC's recent proposal of $6.59 per student per term was denied by the LTD Board who maintained their price of $8.72 per student. Lewis will deliver another update on LTD negotiations and provide background information on the issue during ASLCC's May 28 meeting. • Hollingsworth, Rinehart, and Michael Omogrosso, former Community Colleges of Oregon Student Association and Commissions (CCOSAC) executive chairperson, attended CCOSAC's Transitions retreat on May 15-16. According to Hollingsworth, CCOSAC's purpose is "to conduct workshops that will contribute to the positive effectiveness of the student leaders ... To maintain a means of communication that will allow student verbaliza- tion of campus events and other ideas. And to represent and or support community college students." Hollingsworth also announced an opening for a new ASLCC Legislative liaison. He says the experience will be beneficial to individuals interested in working amongst politicians. • ASLCC approved funding of $1200 for their annual summer retreat on June 12-14 but denied the $200 request for snack foods. The money approved will cover the cost of lodging and meals at the Lost Valley Educational Center in Lost Valley.

A worthy cause indeed. Most people witnessing the videotaped thrashing would agree the police, without a reasonable doubt, used excessive force. Most people in Lane county probably supported the students' right to protest such a blatant miscarriage of justice. That .is, until ASUO Senator Brian Hoop and other activists kicked in office windows. They supposedly committed the act in the name of Rodney King. It's inexcusable criminal behavior. It is the work of pouting children under the guise of activism. When certain UO employees excused the actions, saying the students needed to vent their frustrations and the Federa1 Building is a symbol of authority,evenmore damage was done. The damage a few irresponsible hotheads caused that day will go far beyond the replacement value of the broken windows, and will most likely negatively affect many students. Such actions destroy student opportunities for legislative and community support. Taxpayers will rightly ask why their state taxes subsidize students who vandalize publicaJly-owned buildings supported by their federal taxes. Instead of rioting over the King verdict, why aren't more students protesting the "Education President?" Why aren't students taking responsibility for their own futures through legitimate activism? Getting involved at local levels through meeting attendance or presenting a united legislative stand will show taxpayers and legislators that not all students who are frustrated take out their anger through wanton destruction of public property. There arc ample ways to constructively speak out, student<; just need to utilize them. Last week, for example, the LCC Board of Education approved a Sl per credit tuition increase for all student<;. Since the increase is marginal, there was little or no outcry. Most students logically figure additional tuition cost is the wave of the future in Oregon. The alarmingpartofthedccision is thatstudentli failed to voice their opinions one way or the other. Yct students arc the first to complain about the high cost of education in the '90s. The State Board of Higher Education made a we11publicized pit stop at LCC a few weeks ago. It had hoped to get input on proposed tuition alternatives in response to Oregon's dismal post-secondary education outlook. Unfortunately, only a handful of students from UO and Lane showed up. Soon after, a public hearing took place to solicit opinions and answer questions any LCC student might have regarding the tuition increase. Again, student tum out was poor. But that is par for the course, since the students appointed to the Tuition Committee (with the exception of Ernie Woodland) didn't bother to show up at meetings. All quiet on the homefront. No problem. With their absence, student<; have sent messages to local and state educators as well as to taxpayers. The messages are of non-committal -- of apathy and irresponsi bi] ity. It seems students of today would rather sit passively by and let their futures be decided for them, instead of standing up and making a difference. In this time of higher education cutbacks and revenue shortfalls, students need as much positive press as possible. This does not include televised vandalism on taxpayer-owned buildings. In China and Thailand, students riot and protest against repressive authoritarian regimes for a democratic form of government. In the United States, students recklessly abuse their right to protest by rioting and looting in the name of an unfair court verdict. In the end, students shouldn't be surprised if the taxpayers of Oregon decide to vent their own frustration of uncaring or destructive students by rejecting future funding requests for higher education.

Page4 May22,1992 The Torch On the eve of my deliverance, I found myself without inspiration. The "sick building syndrome" had gone into remission, the smirkers seemed content to smirk outdoors as long as the weather held out, and the hillbillies were being down right friendly. Egad! Nothing seemed relevant enough to warrant an article. It was as if God had said, "Let there be a general lack of subject matter for Chuk to write about," and it was so. The Lord giveth. The Lord taketh away. The Lord changeth His mind without notice. I lost my wallet! I didn't realize it until I got home, changed into my Star Trek jammies, fed the white cat, ate a banana, and read a story in National Geographic about the diversity of life found in compost. Compost, like bean sprouts, yogun, and yeast, is alive! I'm not sure when I thought about my wallet. Maybe it was when I began daydreaming about dried banana skins as a substitute for leather. This brought on a possible re-definition of the term "banana belt." Anyway, I couldn't find my wallet. I turned the place upside-down. One receives the gift of superhuman strength when one's life portfolio is presumed history. I turned the car upside-down too; shook it hard. Nothing. I did find what I thought to be a coin purse. Turned out to be a banana peel. I retraced my path. Nose to the pavement, down on all fours, I combed the Post Office parking lot to no avail. I drove the highway slowly, high beams blazing like twin lasers, scanning the road for signs of my identity, as ifl believed it could have crawled out of my . pocket to the window and jumped. You must understand, as I'm sure you do, when you lose your wallet, you are suddenly forced to inventory your entire legal and financial universe. I mentally walked through the emergency plan. Call the bank; put a freeze on the VISA bankcard, and apply for a duplicate Social Security card. Cancel my current phone card; call my mom and weep. Contact the DMV; get a haircut, shave, and pose for the photo on the new driver's license. Decide whether or not I need to check out any books from the library; pose for a new student I.D. Write the F.C.C. about renewing my operator's license. Fork over two bucks for another Bi-Mart card. The sun had set, and in despair I eyed the river thinking, at this speed it would be so quick, that I may sleep. Instead I turned left and followed a side road to find comfort in a friend's compassionate ear. I found little more than wax in my friend's ear. "Where was the last place you saw your wallet?" he asked, and if he wasn't already in a wheelchair I might have, at that moment, put him in one. "If I knew that," I began, and then with a sigh, "never mind." He launched into a collection of short stories about the times he had lost his wallet and how each time it had been returned to him by some honest citizen from the planet "Karma." He meant well and at one point I was actually cheered up until he added, "You• d better call the bank." Egad! My friend was of little more comfort than an undertaker at a funeral saying, "Your dearly departed loved one has gone to a better place." Dawn found my gristly, bloodshot orbs glaring at a blank space on the wall where I had set my attention for the duration of the night, and bathed my dread path with the cruel, stark, sunlight. I arose, boarded my carriage, set my hopeless soul to the trail of doom. I had last held my wallet in these hands on the grounds of the college campus. Hoping against hope, I stepped into the office of the lost and found. Found! Oh joy of joys! My faith in humanity was restored in a beautiful micro-second of redemption. Wallet intact, no money gone, Bi-Mart card crisp as a dollar, priceless photographs of family deceased; these treasures along with the rest were returned by some anonymous ambassador from the planet "Karma!" Now I look upon each and every one of you as the one who found my wallet and returned it. Now you are all my friends; you smirkers, skate punks, head bangers, cowboys, loggers, teachers, hackers, dweebs.janitors, cashiers, housewives, hippies, and yes, hillbillies! 1know for a luminous fact that there is at least one soul out there who, for an enlightened instant, fought the urge to rob some poor sap, namely me, and did unto me as they would have had me do unto them. There must be more of you! Thank you for saving the documents which affirm my legal existence, and for providing the catalyst for this week's inspiration. The Lord whacketh me with a two-by-four! Student takes offense to advice To the Editor: i am writing in regards to an incident'that occurred a couple of weeks ago between Bill Hollingsworth and a couple of students. One of these students came to me and told me what had been said behind my back. He felt I had the right to know, and he was right I think that this issue should be brought to your attention. I find it personally disturbing to know that Bill Hollingsworth has these views on someone he knows and has worked with, what he must think of someone he knows nothing of. Apparently Mr. Hollingsworth was expressing how sorry he was that I could not attend school, when told that my AFS grant had been cut. He replied that I stiould go down to the cafeteria with a bucket and my child and ask for money. Bill Hollingsworth also said that if! did, he would give me $10. Basically, I see this as begging. He said he would do anything to go to school and made me feel lower than him because I am not in school. Though I wish I could still be involved in school, I don't think not having enough money to go is a reason to beg, and I find it sad that Mr. Hollingsworth does. There are a few things I would like to point out to Bill Hollingsworth. One is, what I choose to do with my education is up to me, he did not come to me to get the full story of why I'm not in school, and now that he has taken it upon himself to guess, I will tell him what he thinks he knows. I had my school grant from AFS cut because they ran out of funding. When I found this out, it was fine fornow because I wanted to spend some time with my daughter, who is turning one. Therefore I do not think I'm wasting my time at all. I do plan to go back to school in the fall. Until then I'm going to enjoy my daughter. Well,I'mnotgoing to go down to the cafeteria to "beg," but I could usetheSIOanyway ... Bill? Cai Wilson Former ASLCC Senator Election results unsatisfactory To the Editor: QUITTERS NEVER WIN! WINNERS NEVER QUIT! I want to take this time to set the record straight about the petition that is going around campus. After hearing the results of the election here on campus, I just Mr. believe could not Hollingsworth had won by only 39 votes. Because of my background I have adapted these adages to live by: IF THERE'S A WILL THERE'S AWAY IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED TRY, TRY AGAIN QUITTERS NEVER WIN WINNER~ NEVER QUIT Get the picture? I personally take the responsibility of initiating the petition for a run-off election between Vincent and Bill. After brainstorming with a few close friends who Ifeel have good heads on their shoulders, they encouraged me to start a petition. I approached JoAnn Wilson and Franki Surcamp to aid me in my effort. Franki backeddown,however, JoAnn was more than willing to advise me. Thank you JoAnn. At this time I would like everyone to understand that this is not a love/hate relationship towards Bill, because the other candidates lost. Racism shows New ASLCC shows up for President roll call defended To the Editor: I've only been a student here for two years so I guess I haven't had time to see prejudice around the campus. Everyone I know has been too busy attempting to get an education to worry about whether anyone in the class was different one way or the other. I thought that was reserved for the U of 0, where they hold various classes to teach people tJ1at they are different. If you get by the quotes on the "Fly leafs" and read Ishmael Reed's books, you find some interesting and well-written stories.

Stirling Re: Frank Rossini's "LCC Diversification" To the Editor: As Bill Hollingsworth's running mate in the 1992-93 ASLCC elections, I feel well qualified to make a statement about him. I have been impressed by Bill's genuine concern for others, his courage in taking astand, his willingness to be taught, and his commitment to LCC. He conducts himself in a manner that makes me proud to be associated with him. While itisnotnecessarily germaine to the job of ASLCC president, I believe that Bill 'sfirm and active pro-choice stand is but a single example of his compassionate and responsible behavior. Although we discussed the current recall petition and the ncgativcremarksmadeaboutBill, he has refrained from responding in kind, and has kept doors open for reconciliation and building bridges. In spite or what must be a tremendous temptation to do so, he does not hold any grudges. he has welcomed and sought the participation of his opponents and detractors in next year's student government. I believe his conduct in this maucr is cxcmplory. I have read that people usually get the kind of government they deserve. I hope that we deserve Bill Hollingsworth as ASLCC president.

Limits placed on gays hinder society Forum by JASON THOME Sadly and irresponsibly, the Oregon Citizen Alliance seems to want to poruay homosexuals in a simplistic unfounded manner. Scott Lively painted a horribly inaccurate picture of gays in the Register Guard's May 8 issue. Although far from any truth, Lively seemed to want to characterize gays as a sort of radical, wealthy, powerful group, consisting of men and women who ultimately want to control the world and corrupt society. In truth, most homosexuals are everyday people. Also, largely they share the same values as all citizens and need to be accepted and included in society. Homosexuals grow up in every community in America, or the world for that matter, and represent all races, religions, and classes. Sadly, however, they are often shunned from their communities and families and forced to pretend to be heterosexual to avoid being ostracized. According to a 1989 federal study concerning the state of America's youth, one-third of all teenage suicides are committed by lesbian, gay and bisexual teenagers. Gay people, like anyone, would simply like to feel and be accepted. Naturally homosexuals, just like heterosexuals, feel the need to be a part of their families and societies without having to lie about their sexual orientation. Gays would much rather be an active, positive part of their communities rather than be hidden and silenced. Examples of the oppression that has denied gay people these basic rights have stretched from Nazi concentration camps in WW II, to hate crimes, and police brutality that occur today. Contrary to what Scott Lively says, this is not simply a sympathetic ploy for special rights, but a reality of human concern. Moreover, it seems it should also be a concern of religious based organizations. Sexual orientation also must be recognized as more than just an issue of sex. Gay men and women, just like non-gays, feel the need to be loved. Furthermore, just as heterosexuals feel the need to engage in opposite sex relationships, homosexuals naturally feel drawn to same-sex relationships. Just as non-gays enjoy talking about their relationships and families,gays too should also have that right. Basic human needs in no way should be considered special rights. Furthermore, families need to be able to welcome their gay family members with acceptance, and we should foster culture that allows for gay men and women to be themselves. An important issue the OCA fails to address is one of humanity. Because gays have crossed all class and cultures since the beginning of time, gays need to be recognized as a reality and part of humankind. For many years, and to a large degree still,.people of color have gone unrecognized and shunned. It should be easy to recognize that these sort of limitations placed upon our people hinder us as a society. Progressive communities and businesses are more and more recognizing that listening and tryTurn to Limits, page 7 Perry Keet P.I. ~-Jertl t o the ·•1'1 "9·3· 1~- ~I'" d,,tl gr,,t <o tooK h r111 i~ton•18tlt, Sil'19'"j ~r1y. n, ,c, was 11,s \/Sll31 ~ingin9 Bel'ln'/ been in toni9ht, Elvis Z / h'<lr,:>...t. \::>.A: h€ w'ds no w\'\Hc' t o be t ov t\d . r-------\VAr.:T :1'-W.= •:;;<.(II :~~'ijJ ~ strolled l,enr!YS o-.Jer to apartment.

PagE:6 May 22, 1992. The Torch American s must right injustices Forum by STEEV MOORE I have been a student here at LCC since Fall tenn 1990. I am Black. I am Male. I am American (in that order). Last year, as most of us, I encountered several severe difficulties with financial aid. They made a mistake. In my effort to "follow the rules" and not "make waves", I utilized all channels available to me. After a few months of not receiving cooperation, I started a letter-writing campaign. These letters were sent to the director of Financial Aid, Vice President of Student Services, a member of the Board ofEducation, and LCC President Jerry Moskus. Neither of these individuals corresponded with me directly or of their own accord, with the exception of the board member, who after several months infonned me that it was not within his jurisdiction to administer any influence over the decision/direction that "my case" was tal<lng. Jerry Moskus allegedly never received any correspondence from me. All of these events were occurring while I was carrying 16 credits, student teaching, and borrowing money to compensate for the inadequacy of financial aid. My desire to vent my frustration and inform the student body of these events lead me to write a letter to the Torch to initiate some (hopefully favorable) support and elicit some reaction. It did. Some young man responded to the Torch that I was "whining," and "wanting special privileges" and "cryingwolf'. From a white male, this letter annoyed me, but more importantly, it frustrated me that he didn't realize that he, and others like him, are a major cause of the problem. Also, that he didn't understand that Black America no longer looks to White America for validation of their existence, but from ourselves. One very serious problem is INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM and the perpetuation of fascism by (yes) white men just like him (oh, by the way, shortly after the letter was published, I received a phone call threatening to "kill you nigger" and had my telephone number taken off the LCC student directory). Yes everyone, WAKE UP! ! ! There is active racism being practiced on our sacred LCC grounds. I have been spit at (on this campus) and verbally assaulted (auto/mechanical tech area). These are facts. LCC's current enrollmentisover 14,000students with racial instructor employment of less than 2%. This is a fact. Bill Powell is the only full-time black male instructor here at LCC. Native-American Indian literature is currently being taught by Linda Danielson (a white woman), Cultural Anthropology by Ingrid Gram (another white woman). Although these two individuals may be very knowledgeable, well read, and excellent instructors, they are not Native-American Indians. Why, when in the state of Ory-gone, where there are numerous intelligent capable NativeAmerican Indians, are these two womyn teaching this culture? Bill Powell is the only Black, male full-time instructor employed by LCC. These are all facts! Yes, we have a (token) MultiCulture Center (measuring approx. 20' x 30') and yes, we have employed affim1ative action personnel this year(Torch Vol.27 no.26). Although these appear to be steps in the right direction, it is futile to have these actions taking place unless the administration makes an honest attempt toinform/ explain why these functions are vital and necessary in a state that is becoming increasingly more diverse in racial and cultural diversity. I have been asked several times to run for an ASLCC office. I have declined these offers, because, for me, this would create false imagery that LCC administration is comprised primarily of liberal thinking and accepting individuals. If this is true, I have not experienced it. I have designed and lead several panels at the U of 0 surrounding these issues. I am !!QI an individual to "bitch" and "whine" without being able to offer positive solutions/resolutions. Anyonewhoknowsmecan testify to this. Those of you out there who are friends and supporters of minorities (especially white men) need to mobilize and start doing some serious outreach to those in your communities who don't want to "give up" some of what they have which has lead to the great disparity of wealth and education throughout our nation. This is no longer a minority problem. It is (now) the responsibility of white America to right the injustices that minorities (remember the definition) must face everyday in these Un-United States. Limits continued from page 6 ing to understand differences between their people prove to be a very productive approach to human relations. Largely, this is in response to the changing face of our ever-increasingly global world. Converse to the OCA's seemingly simplistic view of the world, the future can no longer be modeled after a sort of American dream of the 1940s and 50s. In order to effectively meet the fu- Lure Americans need to embrace diversity. In effect, people need to understand people. Issues regarding people's lives must be examined within. Too easily groups point fingers and try to blame others for all of their problems. In reality we all play a part in constructing our society and need to do so responsibly and effectively.

"This is our third year. Every year they just get better and better," says Seifert. He says the scripts chosen this year deal with "issues that really confront."

"This market grew out of the peace movement in Eugene," Goldsmith explains."It was the idea of local artist Lottie Streisinger. She had been in Central America and had seen a Saturday market down there, came home and decided it would be a good idea to start one here. "I° think it caught on because it's really unique in this world to have something handcrafted and local, "Goldsmith continues,"Other cities have followed - in fact the Portland Saturday Market is stylized after Eugene's!"

"It's only one day so you know you can keep up the pace for one day and Sunday you get the day off! It's a low overhead way to have a restaurant." Aside from the cheesecake, Goldsmith says his favorite part of the market is in the morning.

It's a magic moment." • "Very much a comedy," says director Dan Christensen about "the hung rypublic." He describes Leebrick's script as "A window into somebody's life," and says the playwright's characters are "wonderfu1ly eccentric people worth knowing." The play deals with a long enduring marriage between a 70-year-old man, played by Kevin Raymond, and a 60-year-old woman, played by Mary F. Unruh, which reveals the "isolation and timelessness of the human soul." • Reed's "Amazing Grace," is directed by Andrew Simpson, who describes the piece as a poignant story about a married woman (portrayed by Anita Ensley) who gives up her family to follow her dreams, only to learn she has a life-threatening illness. "It's about love and loss. The message is: Take life now and don't wait," says Simpson. The cast includes Dale Wambolt, Monica Engstrom, Jennifer Pungercar, Richard Leebrick and Rachel Sailor.

A white car pulls in close to the curb, pacing the small boy's gait. Emblazoned on the side of the car, the word "Sheriff' stands as high as the boy's chin. The boy stops, turns to face the uniformed man at the wheel and raises a small fist in the air, one finger extended. The boy turns again, and runs across the street to school. "It breaks your heart," says Al, describing the frustration of life as a Benton County sheriffs deputy. "All that little boy knew was hate, and he showed it to me every time I saw him. Al sits comfortably in a student lounge atLCC with one sneakered foot propped on his book bag, under the table. Today he has an hour to kill between his full class schedule -- midterms are behind him this week. "That was last year. I had arrested his stepdad a week earlier for drug possession--again.

When Al belts-up for his 40 minute ride to the main LCC campus from his small town on the outskirts of Lane County, he has almost forgotten the past incidents with the boy, and the accident he responded to the oay before, and the arrests he spent half the week processing. Since the spring term of 1991, Al has also worked toward his plans for the future. But at times, Al isn't sure about how meaningfu I his job is to the community.

People come up to me and offer me drugs." Apparently those people didn't know about Al's "other life," although he doesn't hesitate to tell anyone that he arrests people for a living. "I usually tum and walk away from minor things while I'm here, unless it's something real bad.My first marriage broke up because my wife and I lost a child to SIDS (crib death), and then my wife got into meth (methamphetamine), so I have a personal vendetta against sellers and manufacturers of that drug." Al understands right and wrong from a law enforcement perspective. When he steps out of his patrol car and hands a driver a citation for not wearing a seatbelt, he understands that maybe the individual didn't like being forced to wear one. But Al has seen accident survivors prove the benefit of using their seatbelts. And he knows that citations may encourage people to wear belts and save their own lives someday. "Cops are human too. We do have feelings. I think laws like the seatbelt law are unconstitutional. That law forces people to do something. On the other hand, I have responded to wrecks and seen people walk away from some that amazed me -- I never thought anyone would survive. But other people have been seriously injured or killed because they weren't wearing belts in accidents that, to me, appeared minor. I'm not sure how to balance that with constitutionality." At LCC, he's hustling around to classes like any student, his books holstered in the bag over his shoulder. He struggles just like any student to keep up with assignments and midterms Sometimes, between classes, he talks with friends over coffee, discussing that last bear of a history test, or the bust he made a few days ago. And at the end of it all he "bails," looking forward to that long drive home. For Al, Lane is an oasis amidst a sheriffs worldofholstered guns, drug busts, and traffic stops. He is content to settle into a history class to learn about how people in the past have changed their lives for the better. In the future, Al hopes to help kids learn to make better choices, if he becomes a teacher. Maybe then he can also help make some other sheriffs life a little less frustrating. Tie one on.

He says each dispatch keeps an "A.I.RS. log" (Area Information Resource System) -- a record of citations and arrests for various individuals. The computer can track only 250 entries on the log for each name on the list. Recently, the computer rejected one repeat offender's log simply because it was too long. The offender's new log already holds 67 entries. That may be why Al is enrolled full-time at Lane. He says WHERE 1HE STONE MEm 1HE ROCK • · ., ·- - - ""7~ he may want to change his profession.

Al says he would like to make that kind of difference in a child's life: "I may go into teaching because I like the idea of molding kid's values at an early age." On the other hand he says, "But I like law enforcement too, and I may stay with it." One reason is that Al's life as a local sheriff is never boring. He says, "We have some interesting cases. One guy we arrested had burrowed in from near the Willamette River, into the middle of a large blackberry thicket. He had a thriving marijuana patch in thecenterof it,hiddenfrom view." And Al says the sheriffs' liven things up at times with the offbeat. After confiscating the equipment at one growing site on public land, with the grower nowhere to be found, Al says,"We are required to leave a receipt for confiscated articles, so we did, but we also politely left a card with a note to the grower saying he (or she) could call us for his property." Al's beat covers most of Benton County. But Al has another beat these days. It starts with the 40 minute drive from his small town near Corvallis to the LCC campus. "My wife and I have a small place and a little land in a small town. I like not having to worry about locking my car when I'm home. I like small community living." And he especially likes going toLCC. "Linn-Benton Community College is too close for me. I would have difficulty establishing relationships with people in school there because I might have arrested them before -- they may be intimidated by the authority I have as a local sheriff," he says. In Lane County, Al is only a student. Herc, he has no authority as a law enforcement officer. But he cannot always escape being a cop, even on campus.

A quick 15 miles east on Highway 58 to Lowell, then a short drive across Dexter Reservoir to Road 18 (Fall Creek Road) will put the explorer into one of the lushest green forests in the state. The Fall Creek trailhead is approximately 11 miles after the tum onto Road 18. Located across the creek from Dolly Varton campground, the trail offers a continuous view of Fall Creek throughout its14-mile length. Dotted with deep pools and intermitent rapids, adventurers can either cool off with a swim or try their luck at fishing. Fall Creek is abundant with elusive rainbow and cut throat trout. The area offers a wide variety of landscapes -- from the crystalline flowing waters to dense green vegetation and old growth timber stands. The Marine Creek old growth grove houses a mixture of Douglas Fir, Western hemlock, and Western cedar. Some of the trees are over 500 years old. Several trails branch off of Fall Creek. These secondary trails vary in length and accessibility, and most are marked with posted signs. Five campgrounds are located along the 14-mile trail. In addition, Clark Creek Organizational Camp is a group campground requiring reservations, which can be made through the Lowell Ranger Station at 937-2129.

Allan Gubrud by MICHAEL WOOD For the Torch Izetta Hunter Some people just don't know when to quit. Allan Gubrud knows when to quit, but he doesn't seem to know how to do it. Although Gubrud officially retired in January, he's still active in the Science Departmeny attempting create an Energy Management Technician program. Except for a three-year leave of absence taken to earn his Ph.D in Science Education, Gubrud has taught at LCC for 28 years. Since , starting in 1964, he has seen many changes. The biggest change, he says, "Is the size of the school and the staff. Back then, I knew everyone on the staff." After a thoughtful pause, he adds, "The biggest impact in teaching though, has been the computer." Although he says he looks forward to full retirement -- speaking in eager tones of time for fishing, travel and grandchildren -- Gubrud gets especially enthusiastic when asked about his pet project. Despite retirement, he remains busy on campus to develop the new Energy Management Technician program, for which he is the self-titled "startup coordinator." Hr hopes to see the curriculum initiated by fall term because, as he puts it, "Energy conservation has just blossomed." He says the goal of this program is to train technicians to evaluate energy consumption in businesses, homes, and agencies, and to recommend steps for conserve energy. A bonus for LCC is that the program would be sponsored and paid for by several interested industries. The Bonniville Power Administration would provide the start-up funds, he says. "There is the potential for a lot of great jobs in the future in tl1is field," he says. When or if Gubrud ever fully retires, he says what he will miss most is, "the intellectual stimulation from doing the job. There's a lot of pressure and stress, but it's still stimulating." by CATE JOHNSON Torch Staff Writer Photo By Erin Naillon Well-wishers gathered on May 21 in the LCC cafeteria to celebrate and say goodbye to long-time friends. Lane is losing nearly 20 employees due to retirements. years, I wasn't aware of any 'marketable job skills,' and I really didn't know how to go about being a single parent with five kids," she says. Holland says LCC helped her find the skills and tools she needed to start rebuilding. LCC's campus was only two or three years old, and many of the programs and services present today were not present then. There was no place for women to gather, to feel comfortable. In fact, the majority of ilic campus population (53-55 percent) was men. Holland started as a student, worked as a student associate through the Counseling Center, and then at the end of spring term entered ilie work force. College administrators meanwhile decided the college needed a Career Center and invited Holland to take a position developing it. She worked part-time as an employee, putting together the Career Center while she continued her studies. "I had a computer, a chair, and a table. They put me out under the clock in ilie Center Building lobby between the library doors," she says. Alas, the Career Center was born. went on to assist in developing the Women's Center. "I liked working wiili women. I realized that women have strengths that they are not aware of because they have Ii ved through these traumatic experiences, yet they are walking around acting as if iliey were like everyone else. "I saw a resilience, the ability to laugh in spite of what was going on, and a great strength in these women. Women just seem to understand what's happening around them wiiliout having to explainittoeachother," shesays. "It's been fun." In June, Holland will bring to a close a special chapter of her life with her retirement. She plans to exercise her green thumb this summer, and then jet off to Europe next year. She also plans to be involved with children's advocacy agencies. Larry Murray by WILSON KUNG For the Torch "When I came on campus ilie first day, there was no sidewalk, and ilie trees were very, very small," says Larry Murray, dean of the Community Education and Economic Development Division.

"It is very unusual for me to see an English instructor, for instance. In 1968, when I was on campus, I saw them all the time. Murray says in the late '70s, Continuing Education was "pretty much personal improvement-oriented. It has changed and become much more professional development and (leans) toward help~ ing students improve their job skills so they can get a better job or holdontothejobs ilieyhave. That is fundamental change." In terms of the change in the facilities, Murray says ilie computer plays a significant role in education these days. "The college has spent a tremendous amount of money on computers to provide computer literacy and accessibility to students. In just this building (the Downtown Center) alone we have five different computer labs." As an administrator, Murray says he considers the period between 1984 and 1986, after President Eldon Schafer retired, as the most difficult crisis LCC has faced. "We had a leadership crisis for several years. The institution kind of ground to a halt." Today, he says, money is the biggest issue. When asked about his retirement, Murray says, "I like to think that this is just another phase in my life. I consider the last 30 years as a kind of work phase. I .really planned hard to work, planned the kind of work that I was going to do." In the future, he says, "I'm going to have fun." His plans include travelling to Hong Kong, attaining better physical shape, and purchasing a higher powered computer. After this summer, Murray will leave LCC. "I'll miss association with long time friends in the college, people I have worked wiili for years and years, and the stimulation I get from those kinds of associations." One student describes her as "light-years ahead of everyone else." Another says she is "humble, quiet, and sincere." She is Izetta Hunter, coordinator of the Woman's Center. And after 15 years of hosting college re-entry workshops, hiring and training work-study students, seeing 25,000 people by appointment, and generally "putting people's lives back together," she is retiring. "It's going to be great!" Hunter says confidently in her cheerfully decorated office, .where always seems open. "I am used to changes." The Canadian-born Hunter came to LCC in 1977 after working with Enginers in the army, and then at IBM for 17 years travelling around the US as an efficeincy specialist. She attended one·of Margie Holland's re-entry workshops and then became a volunteer for the Woman's Center, an LCC office which she says "just evolved." After twoand-one-half years, she became iits coordinator, and has stayed ever since to help the program adapt and expand. Hunter says her job is fascinating and loves to come to work. The Woman's Center offers information and encouragement to students, as well as a lending library, a bulletin board of upcoming events and group meetings, and is a place for both men and women to relax, study or meet people. It's one of the reasons why "LCC ls a fine school," she says. Work-Study student Maria Vogelpohl says Hunter is a strong teacher, focused, and dedicated. "She was the first person I talked to at LCC. She understands things nobody else understands." According to students, Huntrer has been know to "save a few lives" during her time in the Woman's Center. "I came in one day with a problem and I talked to her. She can understand you, even though you aren't speaking clearly. She helped me, and gave me steps to get everything back togeilier," says Work-Study student Shell Burkel. "There is going to be a void, no doubt," says Vogelpohl with a note of sadness in her voice. "I hope we get someone as strong as her to be the next coordinator." When Hunter begins her retirement, she will look forward to a trip to Africa with her oldest daughter. She also plans to visit her other daughters in San Jose and Utah. And she expects to fix up her house and "play Grandma." And in the fall, Hunter, along with Margie Holland, will continue to concentrate on the issues concerning child abuse. One way she will do this is working with abused children who have to go to court. Lane track team gears up for conference meet by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Photo by Mathew Auxier Titan track member 'flops' over high jump. Despite low turnout and loss of athletes due to academic ineligibility this year, Head Coach Larry Calloway says the remainingstuden~4i compete • hard and don't back down. The team will compete in the NWAACC conference meet m Oregon City on May 21-22. Calloway expects strong individual performances from all team members. Writer says basketball stupid, baseball the only alternative Portland looks down patrician nose at Lane residents Commentary by JOE KELLEY Torch Staff Writer The Portland Trailblazers will lose soon. It's bound lo happen. And now that I've said that, you dirty freaks will blame me when it does. But it won't be my doing. I know, it's fun to cheer your home team, and the Blazers represent Oregon's only bigleague professional team, but think about it-- Portland isn't your home. Portland doesn't like you. Portland laughs down it's provincial nose at you Lane County hicks. Portland is a cheezy little burg in the bigger scheme of things. The Blazers are at best a mediocre team, and basketball is an insufferably stupid sport, with an interminable season and an irresponsible playoff schedule, anyway. So who cares? Well, you probably do -- you've read this far, haven't you? And now that the hook is set, I can begin to tell you about really important things. Like baseball. Basketball is only b~sket-ball; Baseball is transcendent. More than a sport, baseball is something you probably learned with your dad when you were a kid -- in the back yard or in the den. Baseball may even interest your mother. I was five years-old, and will never forget my mother's excitement over tr.e '68 Tigers when they took the World Championship. Basket-ball smells bad. (Who can eat a hot-dog indoors?). Baseball associates itself with wonderful smells, moreover, baseball sounds good. Basketball is Indianan, and carries all negative connotations of the pinched and severe Midwest, and winter. Baseball is American, and it involves sun and sweat, leather, wood, and grass. Baseball is America itself. And baseball is right. Basketball is only basket-ball, and is therefore wrong. The Eugene Emeralds, Class A farm club for the Kansas City Royals, open their 1992 shortseason with a two-game stretch in MedfordJune 17 and 18. Following that, the Ems continue the series against Medford at home, with four more games, June 19, 20, 21, and 22, in Euegene's Civic Stadium (where the late-afternoon/early-evening light is good). But you wouldn't know these things from the pumpkin pandering Register-Guard. Unfortunately,you won'tknow this from the Torch much longer, either (unless a special summer issue comes into publication. Now is the time to make my earlyseason May 22 predictions known: The St. Louis Cardinals will crush the late-charging Cincinnati Reds to earn the right to represent the National League in the World Series. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays will succumb to the Texas Rangers in the AmericanLeague(my favorite). I base both of these picks on the pitching staffs assembled by each of the two teams, especially the Rangers, a team that will streak to the top of the American League West and stay there, behind the pitching of Nolan Ryan, in his slow-starting but last-best season in uniform. Unfortunately (and probably because I favor Texas), the St. Louis team will win the World Series, though it will require all of seven games. That's the way the ball bounces. (Hey! How'd that cliche get in here?) Remember Baseball? Get some on ESPN, or with the Eugene Emeralds at Civic Stadium this summer. Steve Coxon won the pole vault and finished second in the 100meter dash to lead the LCC track team to a respectable finish at the NWAACC Regional meet in Pendleton on May 8-9. Runner Brett Yancy took second in the 800-meter, losing to Andy Popp of Linn-Benton CC (LBCC) by less than three feet at the finish line. Christel Markland, one of only two LCC women on the team, ran thefourthfastest400-meterat the regional meet. Shelby Voasended with a personal best i!} the shotput event. "They competed hard," says Head Coach Larry Calloway. Despite losing over 20 athletes to either academic ineligibility or non-commiual, thus ending any chance of serious team competition, he says, "They still feel like they're a team. Everyone is very supportive of each other." Coupled with an uncertain future for Calloway, who will be replaced as head coach next year, he says the season "has been a success, all things considered. The kids have really performed well. Nevertheless, Calloway expects the remaining team members to do well in the NW AACCconferencemceton May 21-22 in Oregon .. City. Although LCC as a team poses no threat to the compet1uon, Calloway expects strong individual performances. "We have people that are ranked well in the conference standings, and they'll rise to the occasion." He says Coxon could conceivably win both the pole vault event and the 100-meter dash. "Steve could probably be the second or third vaulter at the U of O." Calloway believes Yancy will do very well in Lhe 800-meter, and Joe Martin, with the third-fastest conference time in the steeple chase, "have the best chance at bringing home first place. "These kids compete hard, they don't back off," says Calloway. Oregon trio wins national basketball champinship Graham leads 3-on-3 team to win by JOE HARWOOD Torch Edi tor The 1991-92 basketball season saw LCC's Maryanne Graham lead all scorers in the NWAACC and earn a place on the all-star team. But it wasn't enough for Graham, and it wasn't the end of her basketball season. On May 15, Graham, along with another LCC student, Maryn Vail, and Tina Johnson from Albany, won the national intramural ti tie for the Chrysler Invitational 3-on-3 half-court basketball tournament against Yale University. Rules for the tourney included a straight 20 minutes of play, no bonus foul shots, and a one-for-one scoring tabulation. Two-point shoL~ counted for one point, and threc-poirit shots counted for two. Free-throws were awarded only for fouls committed in the act of shooting. After winning the state play-offs by beating a team from OSU, the trio got the chance to play a best-of-three series against Yale al Lewis and Clark College in Portland. "We started off losing our first game," says Graham. "We played very bad." She says the team from the East Coast had a definite height advantage. "We gave up at least three or four inches, but they fouled us a lot." And in the first game, the Oregon trio "shot really lousy freethrows." Graham says anxiety and nervousness played a big part in the shaky first game perforance. But fortunes changed for the final two games. Graham shot 11 out of 11 free throws in the second contest, and her teammates also turned up the heat, winning the second game 21-10. The final of the three games was no different than the second, with the group from Oregon winning 23-13. Graham attributes the strong showing in the latter contests to the high percentage of free-throws she and her teammates made. "They (Yale) were pretty confident after winning the first game, and then we came out and played more sensible basketball the second and third games," says Graham. The first of its kind, the Chrysler 3-on-3 tourney will be played at a different location every year. Chrysler has invited the three women to defend their title next year, when the tourney will be played in San Diego. The Torch May 22, 1992. ! ... ' Page 13 ... Group seeks students for peaceful army Credff available for those concerned about the planet by DEBORAH STOTLER Torch Lead Writer The Cascadia Global Service Corps wants you! If you're a young woman or man of "military age" (between the ages of 18 and 22) who's seeking an alternative to military service, then LCC student Bob Clarke wants you toconsidcrtheCascadia Global Service Program's peaceful volunteer "army" and its PeaceTree Cascadia Project at the Klamath Forest Wildlife Refuge this summer. Or, perhaps, you're an LCC student -- of any age -- who's concerned about humanity and the future of this planet? You seek an opportunity to earn Cooperative Work Experience credits while you volunteer your talents to a worthwhile, preferably grassroots, environmental restoration project. But so far, nothing strikes your fancy. Again, Clarke says he wants you to know your search for a sense of purpose is over. On behalf of the Cascadia Global Service Program, Clarke extends an open invitation to everyone to join him and "a bunch of friends from all over the world," in a "vision quest" this August. He says they will learn what "international citizen diplomacy" really means for the coexisting inhabitants of Earth's ecosystem. The Cascadia Global Service Program stems from the Bainbridge Island, WA-based Earthstewards Network and its PeaceTrees program. The 35-yearold Clarke explains that the network, a conflict resolution and citizen diplomacy organization, has fadlitated seven environmental restoration projects that have included more than 500 young people from more than 20 nations since PeaceTrees' ge:iesis in 1989.

A major focus of the environmental group this year is the Klamath Forest Wildlife Refuge located 22 mi Jes east of Crater Lake. The refuge doubled in size in 1989 when Congress appropriated $9 .3 million from the fedcral Land and Conservation Fund for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to purchase 21,234 acres of an old Klamath County ranch and annex it to the refuge. Because of severe cattle overgrazing, the underfunded refuge is in dire need of replanting. Considered to be the most biologically diverse refuge in the Klamath Basin, the refuge, with its shallow lakes and marshes, once lay within the vast Klamath Indian Reservation. For the Klamath Native Americans, the refuge remains sacred, explains Clarke. The natives retained their tribal hunting thousands of willow cuttings alongside a glacier-fedspring." They'll cook with solar cookers, he adds, and all their meals will be local, organic, and vegetarian. Additionally, the Klamath tribe has accepted an invitation to attend the historical gathering, says Clarke. Because restoration work crosses political and racial lines, Clarke says this "peace cultivating" venture will give the participants an opportunity to "challenge thefalsemyths"we'vebeentaught about people whose cultures differ from ours. OnMay28at2:30p.m.,Clarke will host a discussion and answer session about the Cascadia PeaceTrees Program, and show a short video. The presentation will take place in the Multi-cultural Center, Center Building, Room 449. For more information contact Clarke at 942-9701. QSPI RG continued from page 1 tional purposes and not to lobbying factions, the college is within the law allowing OSPIRG to reside on the campus. "We're completely okay," says Marie Matsen, administrative assistant to LCC President Jerry Moskus. Matsen says OSPIRG has two accounts in Oregon -- an educational fund and a political fund. Campus Organizer Dalene Lovie says students should not confuse Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group with Oregon State Public Interest Research Group. The monies raised on the LCC campus go to Oregon Student PIRG, which is considered to be an educational organization separate from that of Oregon State PIRO. The student PIRG, which qualifies as a tax-exempt organization, collects funds from the campuses and uses the monies to hire professional staff members. The State PIRG collects money from door-to-door canvassing and other public solicitations. Oregon Student PIRO projected it would collect $46,800 in fees from LCC for its 1992 fiscal operating budget. Combined fees from Oregon's four PIRG campuses -- LCC, Lewis and Clark College, Portland State University, and University of Oregon-- total $232,570. Of that total, $196,220 (84 percent) is expended in personnel costs, with $162,720 earmarked for staff salaries. The paid staff acts on the behalf of students, who haven't always the time or know-how to make changes in public concerns, says Lovie. The staff is comprised of researchers, issue specialists, scientists, and other public policy experts who do the legwork for the organization. Lovie says a campus organizer, who is in place on each PIRG campus, teaches the skills necessary for effecting changes in matters of public concern. The organizer assists students with projects, like the Hunger Cleanup, or the postcard camp~ign against toxics. "We're very restricted in the types of political work we can do," she says. The issue of the Student PIRG's future existence on campus could possibly arise in the fall if ASLCC President-elect Bill Hollingsworth follows through on his pledge to petition students for a special election to determine if LCC students want to continue funding for the organization. At any rate, says Lovie, the Student PIRG's funding would automatically come before the students next spring in the ASLCC elections. "We wouldn't exist at a school where students didn't support our principles," she says. Delf continued from page 1 all religions and creeds, he maintains, and certainly don't all fit the "conservative mold." Students with diverse religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds make up the senate, he says. Hollingsworth has indicated he might ask Delf to advise the senate, an action which prompted further controversy. ASLCC Presidential candidate Joann Wilson leveled a claim of impropriety at Delf, stating that students are approaching her, complaining that Delf has used class time to promote certain candidates. It looks "pretty clear" to her, she says, thatDelf was possibly using the candidates to be_appointed as the advisor of the senate. Dclfrefutes the claim, as well, stating that he has n~verbeenoffered the advisor's position, does not know what it would entail, and does not know if he would accept it if offered to him. do. "It's not something that I seek," he says, or have a burning desire to Warren further alleged that Delf may have used college equipment and time to print flyers for Hollingswonh's campaign. Delf dismisses this as being patently untrue, stating, "That would not only be unethical, but illegal." Delf says he and Hollingsworth undertook printing flyers for the campaign at an off-campus printshop, and that his own personal contribution was minimal.
