- LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE - Many praise TTS; but is·it 'anti-male'? BY MICHAEL GOODWIN staff writer ''Transitions to Success," a six-credit, 12-week governmentfunded program at LCC, is designed to help displaced homemakers and single parents develop educational, career and personal goals, and remove barriers to success. So far, all the participants in-the program have been women, but the program is also open to men who qualify, says Kate Barry, former program coordinator who wrote the original grant in 1986. According to present coordinator Charlene Maclean, "We've had several men apply because of the child care cost assistance benefits available, and when we explain to them the process - what would be required, and the content of the classes, so far they'vealldecided thatitisn't what they need." She says she doesn'tknowwhatmen think is lacking for them. While many ITS graduated, like Maria Child, say the program has suited them perfectly,-at least two recent graduates criticize TIS. Becky Roach says the program may be anti-male; Laura Hendricks says the program needs to include men at some level, either as participants or as instructors, and to screen-applicants more thoroughly. Becky Roach, a student at LCC who graduated from the ITS program spring term, 1992, thinks that men have not participated in the program because they probably feel unwelcome. Even though the program is open to all single parents and displaced homemakers, regardless of gender, she says the approach of some of the TTS staff, and the orientation of ITS instructionalmaterialsareoften anti-male. ''Listening to some of the staff as •well as students in cla$, I noticed that whenever they would talk about men it was often in a very, very negative way, emphasizing bad things: 'Men are abusive. Men only use you. Men only w~t you for one thing.' I noticed that was said a lot." Roach claims, ''We were advised to use the reading material in the Women's Studies Room and as far as I know there is not one book in there that promotes a positive attitude toward men, or male-female relationships. A lot of the books there promote the idea that if you are a women who wants to be cared for and to be loved in the way that females were meant to be loved, the only way to do that is with another woman." She maintains that, "If I stayed in that environment I would never be exposed to anypositiveideasaboutmen. But TTS coordinator Maclean says "male bashing'' and promotion of negative male stereotypes is not part of the curriculum. As far as she is concerned it did not exist except among the students. However, in explaining the make up of the program, Maclean says women often enter the TIS program after dissolution of a marriage or similar relationships. A significantnumber of thewomen in the program have been victims of childhood and teen physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence and rape as adults. Emotional problems, co-dependence and substance abuse are common issues for some of them. TIS students usually have custody of children and lack skills and financial resources to enter the job market. Often they have been homemakers for many years and now suddenly find themselves in the position of being sole providers for themselves and their children, without the skills and necessary education -it takes to be a single head of household. Maclean says that selfdiscovery, reaffirmation of positive self-esteem, exploration of educational and career opportunities are the main goals of the TTS program. ''The main thrust of the program is to show women that they can make positive changes in their lives by working together, sharing their problems, and helping each other," says Maclean. In addition to regular classes, they join a support group that meets once a week and is made up of other women in the program. Support services are available in the form of financialaid,childcare assistance, and some reimbursement for transportation costs.

LCC Crime Statistics Theft is worst campus crime BYSARABAZ stll/f writer No one was murdered, raped or assaulted at LCC during the last three years, according to a new LCC security brochure. However, as the brochure points out, LCC campus life is not withoutrisk,and students and staff need to observe basic safety practices and be aware of the college's security system. For its part, the college's routine preventative security measures include trimming bushes for visibility and maintaining adequate lighting, in addition to thorough patrolling of the campus. Security officers provide emergency escorts when an individual has reason to feel threatened, students may contact Security to arrange for help with battery start-ups after5pm. In addition, the college has installed 23 red emergency telephones on campus that require no diallng: a person can simply pick up the phone to contact the Security office. Staff in any office will also ring Security on request. No one on campus may carry a firearm or other dangerous weapons, even those with a concealed weapons permit. No person may possess illegal drugs or alcohbl on campus and no one may be on campus under the influence of intoxicants. Violators of this policy are subject to disciplinary action. Personal awareness and responsibility are important components of any safety program. The Security office recommends that students should take basic precautions, such as arranging for companions to walk or drive them to the parking lots after dark, keeping track of what's around them and keeping track of property. ''Most of the crime that occurs on campus falls into the category of petty theft, involving property valued below $50," says Paul Chase, head of LCC Security. "Opportunity theft" includes theft of property that students and staff may leave unwatched or unsecured. Tum to page 2 for related stories C.

Community colleges in Astoria and Coos Bay responded to questions via telephone with the answer ''We don't have any crime to report." The colleges are small and due to the lack of incidents comply with the law by keeping a file in the presidents' office that students may check instead of producing a brochure. Some highereducation schools, OSU among them, are exceptionally conscientious about reported more alcohol and drug violations. OSU's figures are high-190 alcohol violations and 10 drug violations reported for 1990-91 but other colleges with lower figures may be under-reporting. Chemeketa Community College prepared an extensive report covering its main campus and all its branches and also including crime statistics for the area within a half mile radius around each campus. Those figures included three murders and 44 assaults in the area around CCC's Woodburn campus. Any student considering transfering to a state college or university may check on that institution's safety record. The new law also requires private colleges to prepare disclosure reports if their students receive federal financial aid. For more information, contact a college's office of public safety, and request a crime information report.

Lon Mabon, being paid $100,000 to lead the OCA, will not relent in the drive for a anti-homosexual amendment to the Oregon constitution. In addition he suggested a restriction of state media. Mabon promised such measures in the 1996 election. It is my suggestion that people against this type of discriminationstart a campaign to educate Oregon on what 9 really was about. In 1996itmay be all 36 Oregon counties that vote yes on discrimination instead of 27. Steve Vogel Process for Pow Wow funding criticized Veto of pay raise sustained BY SONJA TAYLOR editor ASLCC is making plans for a Dec. 5 Native American Pow Wow, and a January Martin Luther King Jr. Week celebration. NASA Pow Wow The Senate recently ap-: proved $3,470 for the Pow Wow. But one NASA spokesperson says it won't cover the costs. "We are grateful for what they did fund," says Don Addison (Choctaw) VicePresidentoftheNASA. "What we are concerned about is the problem of communication. Addison says neither he nor Frank Merill (Karuk), the NASA advisor, were invited to attend a meeting when the Senate discussed funding. "... Thisisaculturalactiv- ity, which encompasses our cultural heritage. It is only natural that they should want input from Native Americans, this is what we hoped for ... they gave us half of what we asked for and cut the funding for the meal which is part of the event. I have heard that the reason for this is that club meals are not funded by the Senate ... this is not just a club activity, thisisamajorcultural event which includes both the student body and the community. Addison maintains that last year the Pow Wow attracted 100 Native American students to LCC. "As a direct result of the Pow Wow held lastyear, the Native American population of LCC has increased by 150 percent. It's a real healthy cultural public re- lations boost for LCC and the community at large," he says. The Pow Wow will take place in the LCC gym and is open to all people. Singing, drumming, dancing and arts and crafts are all part of the agenda, as well as a series of special dances.

Most of the activities have been planned, but Rollin says that she welcomes ideas from the students, "My main concern is making sure that the students want to be involved ...

Located at 1077 Willamette, south of LCC's downtown Eugene office, CCRC is a non-profit agency tha~refers parents to child care providers based upon a knowledge of the parents' individual needs. Parents requesting referrals from CCRCidentifywhat they can afford to pay for child care, what hours they need RESERVE . care, how far they can commute, what type of environment they want for their kids and if they or the kids have special needs. Vena Wright, parent consultant, enters this information in a computer program that can locate child care providers within a mile of the parent's home. These providers could be family day care, group homes, day care centers, pre schools,or home care. CCRC then refers parents to appropriate care providers and assists them in making an informed choice, but doesn't recommend one provider over another, says Wright, nor does CCRC monitor or screen child care providers. Rather, CCRC says it is the parents' right and responsibility. Parents seeking referrals need to call two weeks in advance. It usually takes one weekforCCRSstaff toconduct a phone consultation with parents, and another week to interview providers. While there is no charge for any service CCRC provides, the agency accepts contributions. It also needs volunteers to fillreceptionist,data entry and research positions. The CCRC phone is 7263954.

Bill Hollingsworth vetoed pay raises for five executive officers, which would have increased their salaries from $75 to $100 a month. The Senate could not muster the two-thirds vote required to overturn the veto.But, the Senate did reverse other ASLCC policies. In response to a suggestion from one of the students in the gallery, the Senate voted to add an extra 10 minutes atthe end of Senate meetings. for comments and quesb'ons from the gallery. The Senate will continue to respond to comments from the gallery at the beginning of its meetings as well. The Senate also voted to reverse its practice of sponsoring mid-day amplified music perfonnances. Although college "pilot'' policy apparently prohibits high volume, amplified music during daytime hours, the ASLCC had nevertheless hired musicians to perform. Hollingsworth read from a petition urging ASLCC to ban the sessions. Hollingsworth stated, ''The college exists to provide students with an education. H even one student has trouble learning because of the volume of music played on campus, we are failing in our primary mission." In other business, ASLCC Vice-President John Mitchell was reimbursed for his trip to the Oregon Student Lobby last weekend. Mitchell stated that he felt it would be beneficial for the ASLCC to send representatives to future meetings of OSL. AsLCC approved: • Ratification of both the Karate Club and the Students on Wheels Oub. •$3470 funding for Native American Pow Wow. •No more than $170 for purchase of a Photo ID printer. • $500 for basketball premotion fund.

TIS continued from page 1 - - - - - - - - - :) Classes usually consist of 25-30 women, and according to Maclean approximately 30 percent of the women who complete the program are still in school after two years. Yet, Roach disagrees: "I only know of five or six women from my class who are still in school." The Torch interviewed two of these women. Each has a different view of TIS and its approach. Maria Child, who now works at the TIS office and is a student at LCC, says she became involved in the program after moving here from Maine. "Basically, what got me into TIS was that I split up from my husband four years ago . . ''My youngest baby was born with serious heart problems. I had no medical coverage, no place to live, no food, no way of supporting myself and my two children. My family lives here, and eventually I made my way out here to pregon," says Child. She was able to enroll part'time at LCC, where she dis.covered that she was qualified for the ITS program. She says that among the many good things that have happened to her because _of her involvement with TIS, the most positive has been exposure to other women in the program who are succeeding. And, she says she relates positivelywiththethewomen who run the program. "Some of them have had to face and overcome tremendous difficulties - even greater than mine - to get where they are, and they are true-life success stories. It's like this mentor thing, when you can see and talk to these people," Child says.

"No one was willing to talk about responsibility for doing drugs; how and why they stayed in abusive situations; what they did to enable a man to become abusive; or how they used their co-dependency with their children as a way out," she claims. Hendricks is one who believes thatmenshould be part of the instructional process. "I believe that what the TTS program desperately needs is a meticulous screening process, and a significant amount of positive male energy. Men from the community who have been either victims or perpetrators and who are in transition should be allowed to speak before women in the groups. And men who are not in crisis should be allowed to participate in theprogram to present their views of women in transition." Program Counselor Cara DiMarco, who is also a TIS instructor, says that men should have their own transition program and that, generally, it is not practical for men to be involved in TIS. She was unavailable for further comment. -:•::0::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;:;:;:::;::·':•:•:-:-·-·-:-:-:-:::;:: :.;.:-:-. le I I l:ilililfelll l,lâ– lllll~l[il!

The squad hopes to irnprove on their 22-6 record of a year ago that was good for -second place in the Southern Region. "Some of the top teams are down from a year ago, so we have a pretty good shot of the top this year," Loos said. The LCCmen' s basketball team opens its season Nov. 27 against Umpqua Community College in the Southem ·Oregon tournament at Roseburg. Returning for his second season at LCC is Head Coach Dr. Jim Boutin. Last year Boutin coached LCC to a 27-5 record,and the championship among small colleges in Oregon and Washington. 'We are primarily a brand new team. We are very inexperienced and very immature. We will start off slow this year," says Boutin. The starting five for the Titans will be Geoff Rasmussen, Tracy Synder, Ty Overby, Greg Klosterman, and Jon Rider. Only Rasmussen and Synder return from last season. The first three players off the bench in Boutin 's eight man rotation will be Shawn Johnson, Allen Demianiuk, and Marc Nipp. Overall the style of the team will remain constant from last year. 'We will run a structured offense and make good decisions. Defensively, the team will be .aggressive and put pressure on the ball," adds Boutin. LCC posted an 13-1 home record last season on their way to the NWAACC championship. Chemeketa was the only team to beat the Titans at home. And Boutin figures this year the teams to beat will be Chemeketa, Oackamas, Portland, and Umpqua community colleges. Last year, Chemeketa gave the Titans fits. Three of the five Titan losses came against Chemeketa. The Titan's home opener will be Dec. 2 at 8 p.m. against Clark Community College. Before the game, the team will hang its championship banner they won last year. SOMEONE IMPORTANT? • ••. • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • : Company for the holidays? \ Serve an ice ·cream cake or pie...

Some now find lifting paint brushes, charcoal, colored chalk, drawing pencils, and other art supplies strengthen their imaginations and self confidence, according to Sister Margaret Graziano, head of the Art Program in the Lane County Adult Corrections Facility in Eugene. In connection with International Correctional Arts Network (I-CAN}, a program committed to bringing art into correctional facilities across the country, the program has progressed over its 19 years. Whether discovering a hidden talent or sharpening a pradi.ced skill, the program provides a therapeutic environment for inmates, says Graziano. ''I find at first, the work inmates do is a reflection of how they feel - - violent, disturbed, lonely. As time passes, their drawings become more of visions of what interests them - - beautiful women, the out-doors, animals . . . something they miss." Says Graziano. ''With the change, the artists change as well, becoming more positive and peaceful," adds Graziano. On exhibit inside the Lane County Courthouse through November is a display on inmate artwork. Because pencils are the only medium allowed in the dorms, a majority of the work shown focuses on tinting and shading. Many pieces are by native American artist William Nolan. As a self- taught artist, Nolan has succeeded in completing a limited edition of a Native American prints, has placed first in art shows, and has sold work on the East and West coasts. Ranging from wild animals to Indian chiefs and religious figures, Graziano says the exhibit allows inmates to know they are part of the community by showing their talent to the public. "I believe this is a wonderful outlet for the public and the artists," says Graziano. T $3 • TU.WE KAVE NITE • SRS $3.50 • KIDS $2.~ OVIES FOR !17.50, 10 FO8~30.
