Childcare Co-op
on the block as the
ASLCC Senate proposes to cut funding by
more than half.

Recall election set for February 22-25
BY LARRY HAFI'L
associate editor

Following college policy,
Student Activities Director Barbara Delansky has instructed the
ASLCC Senate to schedule a
special election for the possible
recall of ASLCC President Bill
Hollingsworth.
ASLCC Vice PresidentJohn
Mitchell, responsible under
ASLCC By-Laws for elections,
announced at the Jan. 26 Senate
meeting that the election will be
held in the cafeteria Feb. 22-25.
At that meeting, Senator Jeff
Fernandes reported that Vice
President of Student Services
Linda Fossen had rejected the

Senate's claim that the recall
petition must be approved by its
judiciary committee before an
election can be held. The Senate
then decided to refer the matter
to the LCC Board of Education.
After the meeting, Mitchell
told The Torch that the election
will be held as scheduled unless
he receives a directive from LCC
Administration to cancel it. He
plans to have pro and con statements printed in The Torch and
in a Voter's Pamphlet which
should be available to students
well before the election.
At the Senate meeting, and
in other public statments,
Hollingsworth has vowed to fight

the recall with every means
available to him. "I'll be here' til

from
my
desk,"
says
Hollingsworth.
Some of those means were
demonstrated at the Jan. 26 press
conference called by Brian
Wanty, author of the recall petition, to inform the media about
the motivations behind the recall petition and opposition to
the Senate's proposed reallocation of student fees.
The conference opened with
prepared statements from several students (see "Students voice
concerns" page 3). Shortly after
the floor was opened to ques-

tions from the media,
Hollingsworth, who was not invited to the conference, took the
floor and began challenging the
students' statements, asserting
that he could disprove all the
recall petition's claims.
Addison pointed out to the
media that Hollingsworth' s tactics of intimidation, confronta- .
tion and not allowing students to
participate in open dialogues
were the main reasons behind
the recall petition. "Do you see
what's happening here? Do you
see now why we believe
Hollingsworth should not continue to represent us?" said
Addison.

Editor's note: In the Jan. 15 editorial The Torch incorrectly stated that due to
Measure 5 the primary health care offered through Student Health Services would
be cut for the 1992-93 school year. Although the other articles that were published
clearly stated that this was only a recommendation, some readers may have found
this confusing. The final decisions on the budget cuts have not been ma.de by the LCC

Parents defend childcare to
LCC Board of Education
BY SONJA TAYLOR
editor

Students concerned over the
ASLCC Senate's proposal to
reallocate student fees, voiced
their opinions to the Board of
Education at its Jan. 25 meeting.
ASLCC president, Bill
Hollingsworth has stated that if
the board decides to eliminate
primary care from Student
Heal th Services in order to balance the 1993-94 budget, he is in
favor of cutting partial funding
from the co-op as well as funding from other areas in order to
SHS.
funding
continue
Hollingsworth has proposed
holding a special election on Feb.
22-25 in order to reallocate student fees.
Parents who spoke at the
board meeting pointed out the
value of the Childcare Co-op
here on campus. They told the
board that were it not for the coop, some would be unable to
attend LCC.
All ballot measures concerning student fees must receive
approval from the board before
they can be put before the students. Because the Senate did
not give enough prior notice, the
board declined to place the ballot measures on the Jan. 25
agenda.
The measures will be placed
on the agenda of the Feb. 10
board meeting. One of the questions Board Chair Pat Riggs will
ask at that time is "Has the student senate held public hear-

ings?"
Among other comments made
from the audience, 1991-92
ASLCC President Ernie Woodland stated that Hollingsworth
had done the students a disservice by pulling out of USSA
earlier in the year. He cited the
fact that President Bill Clinton
has appointed the president of
USSA to an educational reform
committee in Washington D.C.
"This just wasn't a good time to
drop out of USSA," said
Woodland.
Of the 11 students who spoke,
all but Senator Jeff Fernandes
were opposed to Hollingsworth' s
proposed student fee changes.
Despite his lack of support,
Hollingsworth stated, "Good,
bad, or indifferent, it's great to
see~student involvement."
In other business, the annual
evaluation of college president
Jerry Moskos took place prior to
the 7 :30 p.m. board meeting.
Riggs said that the board evaluated Moskus in eight areas including personnel management,

president-board relations, community relations, fiscal management, planning, academic leadership, service to students and
facilities management. She
commented that the board was
particularly pleased with the
president's "open door policy
and walk-around management
style," as well as his efforts to
network with the community.
The board reappointed Sally
Weston and Patricia Rosewood
to the budget committee. The
1992-93 budget recommendations were discussed at length
by the board, including the budget cut proposals.
Although board members
Larry Mann and Chuck Ivey left
early, by the end of the meeting,
the remaining four members of
the board came to the consensus
that although it is "painful," the
college is headed in the right
direction.
The next Board of Education
meeting will be held Feb. 10, in
the Board Room of the Administration Building at 7:30 p.m.

Senate ratifies By-Laws changes
BY LARRY HAFI'L
associate editor

After a detailed review, and
with only minor alterations, the
AS[;CC Senate unanimously
ratified the proposed changes to
the ASLCC By-Laws at its Jan.
26 meeting. None of the alterations requested by students at
the public hearing, held as part
of the Jan. 19 Senate meeting,
were included in the final
changes. Senator Keith Ball

made a motion to table ratification until concerns expressed by
students and administration over
the proposed changes could be
reviewed but the motion was
defeated 6 to 5.
In his report, By-Laws committee chair Senator Dave Swift
stated that he felts tudents should
give input to the Senate oniy at

decisions are made because it is
useless to comment afterward.

Artist creates relationship
between individual images
BY LUKE STRAHOT A
arts & entertainment editor

When looking at Margaret Prentice's works now on
display inside the LCC Art Gallery, most would describe her
as a printmaker. However, Prentice says she looks at her work
in a different way - - more as a sculptor.
Like a sculptor, she constructs her own mediums, but the
medium isn't clay, stone or metal, it's paper that she makes
herself.
Starting with raw material from fiber found in cotton or
abaca (a plantrich with strong fiber), she colors the white pulp
with pigments found in paint and creates images before the
print goes over it. With this process, the imagery is actually
put into the paper itself, rather than printing a separate
background image.
By combining the two separate elements, (the colored,
handmade paper and print) Prentice finds the process more
than a way of producing art.
"Most of my work is really my way of approaching life.
By creating separate parts that in a way have their own
identity, I can then bring them together and construct something more," says Prentice.
The experience of growing up with an identical twin has
also had a major effect on Prentice's work. Her use of
multiple images, each with a separate autonomy and characteristics, all come together to create something more complicated and interesting than any of the parts could alone.
"Growing up, there was always the struggle for identity
and a fundamental level of competition. The overall experience is that together we can do something much greater than
by ourselves," says Prentice.
In her exhibit at Lane, Prentice presents what she calls
"picture poems," a group of prints entitled "Life Stories." As
visual poetry, Prentice used a form of ancient Japanese poetry
similar to Haiku as the inspirat10n to print various images of
friends and family.
The prints and drawings of Margaret Prentice will run
through Feb 12 inside the LCC Art Department Gallery. A
reception for Prentice will beheld on Friday, Jan 29 from 7:30
p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Theatre holds Native American spirit
BY LUKE STRAHOTA
arts & entertainment editor

A night of authentic Native
American song and dance will
come to Eugene as The American Indian Dance Theatre brings
its theatrical presentations of
ancient sacred ceremonies to the
Hult Center's Silva Concert Hall
on Thursday, Feb. 4 at~ p.m.
Native American dancers
and musicians from the Dakotas, the Southwest, Canada, and
the Great Plains, in addition to
members of the Apache and Zuni
tribes will promote the American Indian style of singing and
dancing primarily seen only at
pow-wows across the nation.
For thousands of years,
dance was used to tell stories, to
teach and to entertain. It was
also used to communicate with
nature and the spirit by American Indians. The purpose of the
theatre is to communicate to a
non-native audience.

"The company is trying to
promote a sense of understanding and education among people.
The dance is a very spiritual activity that has been poorly represented in the American theater
and stage. There's much more
to it besides the color and fancy
•movement," says Dave West.
West, who previously worked
with the company, will give a
talk before the show describing
what the dances will detail.
The regalia worn by the
dancers are decorated with family and tribal designs representing a personal significance to
dances. The songs and dances,
handed down from generation to
generation, give an insight to
many aspects of tribal life.
For example:
• The Hoop Dance presents
the dancer manipulating many
reed hoops which represents

how all natural things are connected, yet grow and change.
Through the whirling hoops the
dancer creates images of a
flower, an eagle, a butterfly, and
more.
• The Eagle Dance gives
homage to the most sacred animal to all tribes. As a symbol of
great power and wisdom, it is
believed that eagles are messengers between man and creator.
Previous to the show,
Eugene's Feather Dancers, a
young Native dance group, will
share the significance of regional
dances and regalia at noon inside the lobby at the Hult Center.
West, also a member of the Ci tizen Band Potawatomi tribe, will
speak at 7 p.m. in the Hult's
Studio 1. Both events are free.
Tickets are $18 and $ 14 and
can be purchased at the Hult
Center or by phone at 687-5000.

Boles twins provide dollble trouble for opponents
â– 

Titans wield twice
the power to face
Chemeketa Saturday
night.Twin guards
cause confusion on the
court.
BY DONALD SMALLEY

1tf!;\~ _\:rl~ ~

sports editor

The Chemeketa women's
team will have to do a double
take of the Lady Titans' guards
when Lane takes the floor in
tomorrow night's NW AACC
matchup. What they will be
looking at are the Boles twins,
Kelly and Kiera.
Fresh out of Crook County
High School, the Boles are identical, but they are two very different people.
"People think that since
we're twins, we are the same
person, and we 're not," Kelly
says.
"I'm the more outgoing
one," Kiera says, "while Kelly is
more layed back and easy going."
Although they both play
basketball, they also play other
sports that reflect on their different personalities.
"I like to jet-ski and Kelly
likes to play golf," Kiera goes
on. "Having a twin sister is like
having a best friend around all
the time."
When they are on the basketball court, the differences
don't stop. Kelly is offensive
oriented and Kiera focuses on
her defensive game more than
scoring.
"I know I'm not a great offensive player, so I work on my
defensive skills more," Kiera
says.
·The twins' statistics also
show their different basketball
abilities. Kelly is the teams
leading scorer, averaging 17 .6
points a game. She is shooting
44.7 percent from the field, including a 33.9 percentage from
three-point range (19-56).
Kiera is only scoring 3.7

While Kiera gives some words of encouragement, Kelly
Boles prepares herself to shoot two from the charity stripe.
In last Saturday night's game against Mt. Hood, the team
suffered its first NWAACC defeat, 86-79. The Lady Titans
kept their hold on first place in the Southern Conference

until they lost their second game in a row at Linn-Benton by
the score of 72-62 last Wednesday. Kelly was held to nine
points, while Kiera was scoreless in the game. The team
will try to snap its two-game losing streak when it plays
Chemeketa Saturday night in the LCC gym at 6 pm.

Loos says, "but sometimes they

Loos says the Kelly is stable
when she is on the court and she
is a consistant scorer. He says
that Kiera is one of the top defensive players on the team, but
he says the Kiera lacks the confidence on the offensive side of
the court.
He thinks she can be more
of a scorer if she gains that confidence. Loos says that this is his
first time coaching twins.
"I've been around Kelly and
Kiera enough to tell them apart,"
he says. "Even though they're

The two sisters came to Lane
for the education that the school
Provides in addition to playing basketball. According to
Kelly and Kiera, they might have
only one more year of°basketball
left.
"We 're not counting on
continuing our basketball careers
at a four-year university," Kiera
said. "We want our education."
That may be a blessing to
major college coaches who
might have faced them, unfortunately for the other coaches in

other types of buildings that will
fit college guidelines and better
suit the center's need for more
space.
Ferguson notes that the center continues to gain popularity.
For example, she adds, last fall
when the program had four vacancies, some parents camped
overnight in their cars in order to
be first in line to sign up for
those openings.
Dan Cook and his wife both
attend LCC, and he says of the
Co-op, "My wife and I wouldn't
be able to go to school without
the Co-op. I am also impressed
with teachers like Susan who
have a masters degree and yet
she works for slightly more than
minimum wage."

Cook says he thinks students
should look to the future. He
says, instead of trying todo away
with programs like the Co-op,
LCC should be using them as
models for other colleges.
Ferguson s~ys she thinks it
is unfair to ask students to choose
between two important campus
services like Student Health and
the Childcare Co-op, since they
are so interconnected to one another.
She says she would encourage students lo get all the facts
about the center before passing
judgement. She says that to accurately understand the program
students should get involved and
ask questions, instead of listening to rumors and current controversy.
