- LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE - Measure 5 axe about to fall LCC expects to make $4.1 million in program ruts over the next two years ■Budget cuts: . BY SONJA TAYLOR editor LCC's budget will absorb at least $4.1 million in cuts over the next two years if Governor Robert' smandatory budget is approved by the legislature,according to LCC PresidentJerry Moskus. Moskus says that these cuts will be distributed over two years - $1 million in the 1993 - 94 school year, and the remaining cuts the following year. ''This is only the first step," says Moskus, ''Who knows what will happen in thenextlegislative session. ''The vice - presidents and I have been examining budgets for the last month," hecontinues, ''We're still not sure what cuts we're going to recomm~d ... I believe next year is going to be the first time the public is really aware of the effects of Measure 5 and it just gets worse after that." Moskus says the college expects to cut whole departments or programs, instead of trimming budgets in each department. ''When you make across - the - board cuts," he says, "you 'thin the soup' for everybody.

There are 43,000,000 Americans with some kind of a physical disabil ity (42 UCS 12101.sec.2) and this number increases every second. Unfortunately, even if you do not wish to think about it, it is a reality of the time in which we live. Take a moment and look around; you won't have to look hard or even far away. These people are your friends, classmates, and co-workers. They have families, jobs, and activities just like everyone else. So why, with our technologically advanced society, is something as simple as accessibility such a big problem and so slow to be implemented? Lane Community College currently provides a variety of adaptive equipment and programs, ranging from talking calculators for the blind, closed-captioned encoders, interpreters for the deaf, and mobility aids for wheelchair users. While these types of services are beneficial and appreciated by the growing disabled population at LCC, they fall short of what is needed and mandated by law. If you would like to find out more about the rights of the disabled, or if you personally need help with accessibility, please contact Dolores May in Disabled Services. Improvements to enhance accessibility for all persons with disabilities could be made with little outlay of labor or capital if irnplementecl as soon as possible. Building costs are rising and laws protecting the disabled are getting tighter. For the blind student/ staff, Braille markers (tactile) outside of classrooms and a raised-marker mapping system would help alleviate apprehension and confusion in finding new classes. A centralized Braille directory with information about the raised-marker system layout and usage would be of enormous value. For the deaf student/staff, registration through class-line is impossible due to the lack of a telecommunication device for the deaf ODD) being incorporated into the system. Deaf individuals are denied the privilege of simply calling to register. Currently, communication with faculty, staff, or other members of the student body is difficult or impossible because the language of the deaf, American Sign Language (ASL), is not widely used nor even recognized as a second language. While many states recognize ASL as an alternative to a foreign language in their requirements for a B.A., the state of Oregon does not. LCC does not even offer the class for credit! And, most importantly, the safety of the deaf student/staff is jeopardized due to the lack of a visual alarm system for fire, gas leak explosions, or other disasters. Although access is available for the mobility impaired student/ staff, it is often difficult to maneuver around campus. Often the elevators are filled with able-bodied students, staff, and delivery personnel who not only show disregard for wheelchair-users, but ignore the signs mandating that "Disabled Have Priority." The ramps on campus currently are inconveniently placed and are overly steep, for some wheelchair users. The Physical Education building, where the corrective P .E. classes are held in the basement, has no elevator. All persons on campus in need of this class for an injury - whether it be a sprained, bruised, or broken body part must walk down a steep.flight of stairs, if they can walk, possibly further jeopardizing their health, or they must go completely around the building to one of the inconveniently placed ramps to get to this class. Why is a therapeutic class, such as corrective P.E., held in a building with so little access and without an elevator? In the summer of 1992, LCC was allocated funds for three more elevators. However there is no current plan for an elevator in" the P.E. building. If you are in a wheelchair and would like to compete or watch competitions on campus such as track, archery, or tennis; well, forget it! You are denied accessibility. There are some wheelchair sports available, but after a workout, you are denied access to the showers. The locker room facilities are not designed to allow you wheelchair access. In addition to locker room inadequacies, all rest rooms at LCC need substantial improvements in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which passed Congress and went into law July 26, , 1990. The ADA was long overdue and LCC' s postponement in complying with this law by eliminating the most fundamental barriers is not in the best interest of the disabled students/ staff, nor is it showing their usual leadership capabilities in the community. LCC has long prided itself as a leader and innovator in the community; setting standards for others to follow. However, leadership cannot be maintained in stasis. If the effort to strive toward the next level is not achieved, LCC will find itself falling from among the top community colleges in the nation to the status of following distantly behind the others. I would encourage everyone affiliated with LCC to contact the President of the school, Jerry Moskus, and the Planning Director, Paul Colvin, and ask them why the disabled of LCC are not being treated in a manner equivalent to the able-bodied. Hollingsworth bashed A s a former Torch News Editor (1979) I appreciate the process involved in getting a controversial piece into print. Still, as a former ASLCC Communications Director (1980), I am in total agreement with ASLCC President Bill Hollingsworth's decision to pull out ofUSSA. If not the ''Blatantly racist organization" as former "Torchie's" Joe Harwood and Tracy Brooks portray it, the USSA is at the very least, elitist. It is controlled by a militant few who have devalued its membership through tolerating no views other than their own. You point out how Torch staffers often make difficult, even unpopular decisions, yet you criticize the ASLCC President when he does the same. Isn't that a bit self-serving? Intentional or not, recent Torch •stories have appeared to this reader as questioning Hollingsworth's motives and judgement, challenging his decisions, and in general as unnecessarily negative reporting. H others hadn't complained, I was about to do so myself. The Torch is supposed to be a student interest paper. I know, I was part of the original staff that founded and named The Torch in 1965! I join Harwood and Brooks in urging The Torch to refrain from Hollingsworthbashing; to put more emphasis on potential changes in college policy that could adversely affect students' budgets, and less to political deferences with the ASLCC leadership. Dale Parkera Past Presidents react to Hollingsworth A s former LCC students who have invested time and en ergy into the welfare of student representation on campus and within the community we are distressed over the actions of current ASLCC President, Bill Hollingsworth. Of particular concern is Hollingsworth's unprofessional and deceitful handling of ASLCC's membership in United States Student Association. After using students' fees to attend a USSA Legislative Conference, Hollingsworth abruptly left after he was asked to leave a meeting which he was allegedly disrupting. Seeking revenge upon his return, Hollinsworth not only used a $1,000 "gift'' as a bribe, but misled fellow CCOSACboardmembersaboutUSSA in order to persuade them to withdraw from LCC's most effective avenue for influencing federal-decision making on such vital issues as financial aid and access to higher education. Saying that USSA in "nothing more than a discriminatory, exclusionary, politically correct group of left-wing radical students with axes to grind" and that students fees pay for inflammatory anti-Republican posters are illustrations that he is willing to use deceptive methods in order to achieve his goals. His disrespectful treabnentof students with differing views, and of ASLCC secretary Jeanee Beauchane, who has been of valuable assistance to ''of parti·cu1ar concern ts• Hollingsworth's unprofessional and deceitful handling of ASLCC's membership in United ,, States Student Association. -Past Presidents students, is unprofessional and beneath contempt. We only hope that this year will pass quickly and Hollingsworth will fail to leave a permanent legacy. If you truly care about the future of your education, we strongly urge you to begin thinking about electing a capable successor who will lead with dignity, honesty and respect for all. Furthermore, we call on the ASLCC Senate to think for themselves and make responsible decisions. Past ASLCC Presidents Ernie Woodland, 1991-92 MichaelJ.Omogrosso,1990-91 Andy Harris, 1989-90 John Millet, 1988-89 Robert Ward, 1986-87 Bryan Moore, 1983-84 Stop male-bashing T hank you for your thoughtful article about the men bashing in our community. While I have never been in the TransitionsToSuccessprogram,Ihave been in LCC's Training & Development program as well as a full-time credit and transfer student to the university. I have been a part of the men bashing - three years long, at least. And I have participated in such antics with other women students and staff at LCC an9 women elsewhere. We were wrong. To quote Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" ... Well, one might say too many women have gone through terrible times with the men in their lives and divisiv~ is understandable, even appreciated. I've learned by living with abusive and non-abusive men; ... by having sons who are bi-racial; by having gay and straight friends and family members; by knowing men who have been victims of abuse by women, by other men, and by the system ... thatmenhavenomonopoly on sexism; whites have no monopoly on bigotty; heterosexuals have no monopoly on hate and judgment. It is time to heal ourselves and start working together by giving back to our community and our planet. Walking around carrying a truck load of hate and exercising the miseryloves-company conspiracy to its fullest potential is hardly constructive to healthy interpersonal relationships many of us actually desire. It is not about fault, blame, or agreement. It is about acceptance and taking responsibility for parts we played, choices we made, lives we lived. I had choices, we all have choices. We can be free and right within ourselves to make the right choice for us. It is time to build bridges, not walls and higher fences. Again, "Can'tweall just get along?" Loma Funnell TIS not anti-male A s program director I wanted to respond to briefly to last week's Torch article on Transitions To Success. Transitions is funded through a combination of college and federal grant money. A small percentage of this grant money has been set aside by Congress to fund programs which meet the training and educational needs of women. In Oregon, as in other states, these dollars are used to support displaced homemaker and single parent programs of which Transitions is one. A main focus of the Torch article appears to question this approach to women's training needs by characterizing it as anti-male. It also raises issues of bias in instructional materials and other program activities. First, designing programs around theneedsof womenisnot ''anti-male." Women have particular experiences in this culture which provide unique challenges as they enter education and training. These experiences include vulnerability to sexual and domestic abuse, responsibility for children, the reality of a sex-segregated labor market and a culture which does not support a strong sense of self-esteem. We cannot provide adequate services and programs by ignoring these experiences or pretending that they are the same for everyone. Second, the instructional material used in the Transitions class include a career planning text "Coming Alive From Nine To Five" and a book on life changes, "Transitions" by William Bridges. Both are standard resources for people planning life and career development. Other issues raised by the article include screening participants and male speakers in class. Transitions is an educational entry program, not a therapeutic one. Our philosophy is that each women can make her own best choices. Screening, beyond whether an applicant is a displaced homemaker or single parent, is inaproppriate. Also, since many participants are survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, it would be at best unhelpful and at worst professionally irresponsible to have men who have been perpetrators speak before the women in the class, as one past participant suggests. Transitions is a highly successful program which is assessed each year by a third party evaluator who is independent of both the college and the granting agency. I welcome informed commentary and feedback on the program and encourage people to check out its services. However, I feel your reporter has tried to make several issues out of non-issues by implying an anti male bias where none exists. Perhaps he means to point out that men or other specific populations could benefit from targeted transitions programs. I strongly agree. But then the issue is not how to alter a successful program by removing its focus on women, but how can we also serve the needs of other populations. Kate Barry Women's Program Coordinator Editor's note: Barry's letter needs clarification on two P'Ji.nts. 1-; l.Jlura Hendricks suggests that the ITS program should allow "men from the community who have been either perpetrators or victims and who are also in transition to speak before women in the program." 2. Theopinionsexpressedinthearticle about the ITS program are those of the people interviewed, not of the reporter, nor of The Torch . Student poll reveals few complaints with smoking ban The Torch recently conducted a telephone poll of LCC students registered for fall term. This being the anniversary of the smoking ban we asked the question: How has the smoking ban affected you penonally? Of the students polled, 40 percent said they were not affected by the ban and 40 percent said they were glad the ban was in place. 20 percent of the students expressed specific approval of the fact that smoking is no longer allowed in the cafeteria, 10 percent said that smoking should not be allowed on campus at all and 20 percent said that they didn't know about the ban. The following are quotes from some of the students polled: ''I have had to stand outside next to smokers. I would prefer that smoking not be allowed at all on campus." Darren Albin Business Eugene ''It's nice to not have smokers in the cafeteria." Jill Newman Nursing Eugene ''I didn't even know there was one (smoking ban). I've never been bothered by the smoking."

INTERVIEWS B\' AIUENI HOUGLAND Bridges to Success program helps teen parents BY ARLENE HOUGHLAND staff_ writer When teenagers become· teen parents, they often experience a rush of anxieties and confusions. They are teens facing adult problems, says Jeanne Peterson, LCC's Bridges program coordinator. Bridgesworksinpartnershipwith the Young Parent Program of Catholic Community Services to provide a 10week program for young adults, ages 16-21 after they obtain their GED or High School diploma. The program guides them through the college entry process, from career exploration to registration and finan. cial aid application. The goalofBridges,says Peterson, is to help teens build self-confidence and obtain skills to enter short tenn training. They can then find adequate employment, since they need to support themselves and their children. While the majority of the students enrolled are young parents, Peterson says community agencies such as Adult and Family Services, Southern Willamette Private Industry Council, and Juvenile Probation and Parole refer other disadvantaged youth to Bridges. To prepare them for the normal routine of a full class load at LCC, the students attend the program 12 hours per week for 10 weeks.

Recycling program provides jobs for disabled students .a Paul Blaylock sorts recyclable paper collected from campus deposit bins. BY MICHAEL GOODWIN stllff writer The paper recycling center at LCC sends about two tons of recycled paper and books to the Weyerhaeuser pulp mill every week and provides jobs for developmentally disabled students. Located outside on the east end of the Center Building, the fenced-in enclosure is filled with boxes of books and containers of shredded paper. The dimly lit area is a beehive of activity during the week. As many as 11 students-eight from LCC, three from the Eugene 4-J school district, and two or three job coaches-are busy preparing used books, manuals and waste paper for shipment. Each ton of paper represents the saving of 17 medium sized trees, 4,000 kilowatts of electricity, and 7,000 gallons of water, says Tim Womack, Weyerhaeuser recycling specialist. The program started last spring as a joint venture retween LCC and Weyerhaeuser. '1 think it's notable that some of the people working in the program are earning morernoneythan they've ever earned before, and learning more work skills than they've ever had the opportunity to do," says Specialized Employment Services Director, Rick Venturi. ''The program provides a tremendous opportunity. Recycling paper is a developing area-world wide. Who knowshowthismaytumout ? Originally, the college had to put this out for bid. It costs LCCbetween $14,()00-$15,000 per year to do this, but eventually it may be less as the demand for paper increases and the supply decreases," adds Venturi. Job coaches Diane Suire and Bob Whalen are respon- sible for monitoring the progress of students from LCC. David Helfand, an employee of the 4-J School District, is the job-coach for three 4-J students in the program. "A lot of the time it looks like Bob and I are just standingaround doing nothing, but we have to be ready for anything. Someone may fall out of their wheel-chair, or have a seizure.

Light teaches India Art History, one of three courses in Asian art offered by the LCC Art Department. Light says, '1t's the best way to study culture, society, philosophy, religion, we get it all in there, probably the best history class students will ever have." Students should take a related religion course at the same time as the art course to get a holistic picture of the culture, recommends Light. LCC's art history courses are divided into western and eastern studies, with Introduction to Visual Art the preliminary history class for students fulfilling art appreciation course requirements. According to Light,students tend to enroll in Western Art History classes because they feel more familiar with the art, but in taking classes in Asian Art History the students will better understand theattitudesand cultures of other peoples living on this planet.

The performance will run Dec. 4 through the 19 in the main theater. According to Pressler, the LCC depiction of '~A Christmas Carol" is a specializ.ed version of Charles Dickens' original story. The perfor11 mance is set in Victorian England. Three stage platforms designate different scenes. Pressier describes the stage atmosphere as "warm and cozy." Since the story deals with homelessness and poverty, a big social problem in London in the 19th century, Pressler says it is important that the audience understands that poverty is still an issue. While the show will be funny, charming and entertaining, she says, its social message is the most importantpartof this play,and there will be actors carolling in the lobby dressed as poor people from that period. There are 15 actors including three children. Pressler says two of the children play the violin during the performance. Tickets are available at the Hult Center Ticket Office, Market Place Books and the LCC theater office (726-2242).

Bertucci directs the Chamber Orchestra,Jazz Ensemble,Symphonic Bands and teaches a sight reading and ear training class. The Lane Orchestra has 15 players,most who take only this class on Monday night at LCC. Musicians bring their experience to the group and this benefits the student members, he says. Bertucci says he expects up to 27 musicians to join for winter term and wants to create more opportunity for students to join. ''I would like to see the orchestra become more vis3retiSOnS whyyou shouldjom ible to the student population at LCC as well as our community population served by the college, so that the students will know that there is an opportunity for them to play. Another goal," he adds, "is to have a group here that is attractive to the strong players in our high schools." The Chamber Orchestra's first concert was held on Nov 30 at Valley River Center where it performed various pieces by Mozart, Corelli, Vaughan Williams, and Tchaikowsky. ta=·=•;•=·=-=·=·-·=-=-=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=-=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·i ~: ~ ..0 :~ ■:::y ~!

MILLER for The Torch '"Tis the season to be wary," warned Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group's Don Stubenvoll during the Nov. 24 press conference to announce the release what the group calls the 1992 "Dangerous Dozen" toy list and report. The seventh annual list, prepared by the consumer advocacy branch of OSPIRG, contains names and descriptions toys found on Oregon retailer's shelves which it claims are dangerous. "What this QSPIRG project has done over the years is to attempt to fill a gap, because the Consumer Product Safety Commission doesn't have the resources to adequately enforce the law," said Stubenvoll, the list's author. "Over the years now we have identified 14 toys which have been recalled nationwide." OSPIRG says its list focuses on the basic mechanical hazards of choking and strangulation caused by small detachable pieces of the toys.

"Small parts are potentially lethal." Choking on toy parts, balloons, and marbles continues to be the leading cause of toy-related deaths, according to United States Consumer Product Safety Commission data, presented in the accompanying report. From 1986 to 1991, the most recent year for which data are available, toy-related injuries have increased from an estimated 113,000 to 16~1 000. And from January 1991 through September 1992, a reported 31 children suffered toy-related deaths. In the "Unsafe Toys" report, OSPIRG recommends increased funding for the Consumer Product Safety Commission and other monitoring agencies. They continue to push for new product labeling laws.

However, in a letter to The Torch dated Dec. 2 Senator Swift stated that the original proposal has been withdrawn and will be resubmitted during the win_ terterm.

Lane's Native American Student Association, host of the Pow Wow, is inviting everyone in the community to participate. Admission is free. Grand Entry of all elders, veterans and dancers into the gym will be at 5:30 p.m and dancing is expected to lastpast 11:00p.m. Frank Merrill, staff advisor to NASA, explained that a Pow Wow is a social event where people gather to meet, make new friends and visit with old ones. Native American drumming and dancing dominate the event while traditional foods and numerous vendors of jewelry, clothing and other items add additional flavors. '1t is a way of sharing our culture with our community," says Merrill. '1t is educational as much as social. We have a master of ceremonies, Bob Tom, who explains the dances, the meanings behind them, the rules and interpretations, so that everyone can understand and participate." Several of the dances are limited to Native Americans in full regalia but many more are open to anyone who wants to join the circle. 'The Native Americans enthusiastically non-Native encourage Americans to come and dance with them," says Merrill. Over 2500 people attended last year's Pow Wow and many more are expected to attend this year. There will be at least seven Drums (groups of drummers) coming from all over Oregon,and one Drumfrom WashingtonState. Traditional fry bread and Indian tacos will be available, and at least 17 non-food vendors will be offering a wide range of Native American items for sale. The success of last year's Pow Wow has also played a majorpartinNative American student enrollment increasing from approximately 100 students last year to alrncst 250 students this year, according to Merrill. "Last year's Pow Wow opened the eyes of the tribal elders who send the students here. They saw how much support we received, funding from the ASLCC as well as funding and support from the staff, and saw that this is a friendly place, a nourishing place and a good place to send our students." The ASLCC has provided almost $4000 in funding for this year's Pow Wow. The Student Activities office provided support as well as additionalfunding to insure that this year's Pow Wow is an even greater success than last year's. A raffle will also be held at the Pow Wow with prizes donated by b'le participating vendors. With the expected large turnout more volunteers are needed. Non-Native American as well as Native American students are invited to come and help. There is also a need for overnight housing for many of the dancers and drummers coming from the far parts of Oregon and Washington. Anyone wanting to volunteer or provide overnight housing should contact Frank Merrill in the NASA office, Center Bldg. Rm.222, ext. 2238. •:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:-:-:•···· ,'.:_.• eiffl#.,-i~_~ pJ~Ym~~~ ._: :~U$.,m~:know.led~of:~~> after smµ;tg -~ Flight Tech.

It reminds us of ·a time when we were less frustrated and angry. And maybe a little more naive," Zingo says. Heaven is a busy place because the angels are planning a birthday party for God. The angel choir is preparing special music for the event. Some of the angels are rock 'n roll stars. They've been dead for 30yearsandstillhave not seen God. St. Peter does not like their music,so he continually kicks these angels out of the cho.ir. To top it off, they have only been able to get training wings. The rock 'n roll angels have some friends in "the r lower regions." The angels would like to get them into the choir, and get heaven rocking. Romping between heaven and hell, the angels sing their way through the oldies. With classic songs like "Sixteen Tons," ''lhe Great Pretender," "Stop in the Name of Love," and"Aquarius," the show is a non-stop combination of energy, nostalgia, and some awful puns everyone will love, says Zingo. On New Year's Eve, ACE will offer a special package presentation. Dinner, beverages, dessert, the show, a champagne toast at midnight, and a sock hop dance are available for $45 per person. The Dec. 31 performance begins at 7:30 p.m. General Admission ticl<ets are $10 and are available at all Hult Center-outlets. For more information contact Mark Langlie or Jim Roberts at 683-4368.
