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

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.

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

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

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.

"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.

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

Irresponsible·students waste opportunities to be heard, lose public support

Recently, student activists from the University of
Oregon marched on the Federal Building in protest of the
verdict in the L.A. trial of policemen accused of beating
Rodney King. 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.

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,

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

Thank you for saving the documents which affirm

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

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

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.

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.

Three original plays
open in Blue Door
Talented students to share limelight
by LYNN REA
Torch A&E Editor
Beginning May 29, LCC's considerable dramatic forces will come
together in the third annual "An Evening Of New Plays," combining
the talents of Lane Performing Arts classes in playwriting for theater
and Studies in Directing, both taught by Jerry Seifert.
"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."
The evening includes three original scripts : "Tiger Lily," by Lisa
Railsback; "the hunger rypublic (one chance care)," by Richard
Leebrick II; and "Amazing Grace," by Richard Reed.
• "Tiger Lily," directed by student Chris Blain, revolves around a
Cambodian refugee's journey to freedom. "It's a universal story aboul.
an immigrant trying 1.0 find the 'better place,"' say Blain.
Blain describes Rails back's play as a dran1a, and says he hopes the
audience will be motivated to read, and learn more about the real
Cambodia and its people. The cast incJudes Michael Widjojo, Karyn
Ballan, and T. John Hoard.

The market offers homeade
crafts, entertainment from tone

culinary choices, all within the
downtown park blocks at 8th and
Oak streets. A Farmer's Market
offering fruits, vegetables and
flowers from local growers is also
available.
The Saturday Market started
23 years ago with craftspeople
selling their wares from blankets.
It has grown into a weekly village

"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

continues,"Other cities have followed - in fact the Portland Saturday Market is stylized after

you can keep up the pace for one

Aside from the cheesecake,
Goldsmith says his favorite part
of the market is in the morning.
"I like to watch the process

• "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.
"An Evening Of New Plays," runs May 29, 30 and June 5, 6 in The
Blue Door Theater, showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are $4 and are available
at Marketplace Books, and the LCC Box Office. For more information

Benton County Sheriff doubles as student at LCC
L<;C provides much-need ed stress
break✓ diversion for burnt-out sheriff
by PHIL BENNIN
For the Torch

=·---_-:-.:::::-

The 8-year-old QOY kicks
stones on the sidewalk as he plods
to his school in a small, back-road
town in Benton County. 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. The
mother and stepfather had been
arrested several times during the
year. It's terrible to do a job every
day where you know the kids will
grow up in trouble, just because
that's all they've ever known," Al

continues, describing the frustration of his life as a sheriffs deputy.
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.
"It seems like all Ido sometimes
is re-arrest repeat offenders," he

on here at Lane. 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.

says. "It's crazy ... One guy we
keep picking up for drug infractions is al ways out on the street
again in a few days. We have no
control over what happens after
criminals are booked."
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

he may want to change his profession.
"If you can get kids out of
those bad family situations, show
them what's right and wrong, at
least they have a chance to grow
up without going to jail. The boy
who gave me the finger finally
went into a foster home. His new
dadtookhimplaces;thenewfamily showed the boy a lot of love.
That kid waves hello to me now - his life is completely turned
around."
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.

Fall Creek abounds
with vibrant scenery
by KIM MCCAULEY

Torch Travel Reporter

Fall Creek Recreation Area is nearly as close as your backyard
-- only its much bigger and there is more to see.
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.

LCC to lose valuable instructors, staff, to retirement
Yet that wi 11 continue in cliffer ent ways, Murray says.

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."

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.

sees a person he knows. "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.

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.

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.
Between 1992 and 1996, he
says,

and fishing rights on the former

to carry out a
variety of restoration cfforLli.
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.

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.

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.
