came together last Saturday
night and the result was one of
the most entertaining basketball games of the season.
Co-sponsors KUGN radio
and the LCC Athletics department promised "Blue Collar
Basketball" and "Red Hot
Country Dancing" at the Jan.
29 basketball game and they
definitely delivered.
The evening started off with
country line dance lessons and
a Texas Chili Feed. The

defeated

capped off the evening.
"It was the first time this
year that I've seen a crowd get

young, and in between all attended. A real cross section of
the community."
Yriarte noted that 900
people attended the game and
at least 200 stayed around for
the dance afterwards. He went

on to say that the crowd Saturday night was extremely excited, "Pure effort is an exciting thing, and that's what the
crowd saw. Even if we had
lost the game the crowd
wouldn't have been disappointed. From the very start of

the game the teams played as
if there were only seconds left."
Yriarte's only regret was
that there hadn't been more

All ballot measure hearings cancelled
BY LARRY HAFTL
associate editor

All hearings and other actions
on the three proposed ballot measures dealing with the reallocation
of student fees have been put on
hold, for the moment.
The ASLCC Senate decided at
its Feb. 2 meeting to withdraw the
measures from consideration in
order to gather more information
and student input. (see "Senate
puts ballotmeasuresonhold," page
3)
Discussion of the measures by
the LCC Board of Education is no
longer on the Board's Feb. 10
Agenda. LCC President Jerry
Moskus removed them from the

agenda when he heard of the
Senate's decision to withdraw the
measures from consideration at
this time.
A public meeting was originally scheduled for Feb. 10 by a
group ofinterested students in order
to hear student concerns on this
matter. According to Paul Borella,
one of the organizers, this meeting
has also been cancelled.
The controversial ballot measures were originally proposed by
the ASLCC Senate as a possible
way to fund Student Health Services should it be cut from the
1993-1994 LCC Budget.
The Senate had also scheduled
a special election for Feb. 2 on the

measures but had to cancel it because any measures dealing with
student fees must be reviewed and
approved by the LCC Board of
Education before putting the
measures to a student vote.
Two of the measures proposed
cutting all student fees currently
being used to fund the Child Care
Co-op and all other ASLCC business by 60 percent in order to fund
Student Health Services. The third
measure proposed making the $2
per student per term in student fees
currently going to OSPIRG optional.
The LCC Board will be considering the possible elimination of
funding for Student Health Ser-

vices as part of a budget cut package for the 1993-94 school year
forced on LCC by cuts in state
funding. Cuts in state funding are
a direct result of budget shortfalJs
brought on by Measure 5.
AccordingtoMoskus,nodecision to cut Student Health Services has been made. Until such a
decision is made it seems premature to discuss possible alternate
funding, he said.
"The Board has a very heavy
agenda for its Feb. 10 meeting
already. I'm relieved that the students have decided to put this
matter on hold until the Board
makes its budget cuts decision,"
says Moskus.

Gladys Parks, a Vista volunteer and retired grandmother
from Philadelphia, is spearheading a new program. Running the Peer Mentor program
out of an office of Catholic
Community Services in Eugene,
Parks teaches low income people
to help each other overcome
poverty by gaining access to
education and community services.
Connecting clients to resources in the community that
can help them deal with the
problems of homelessness,
abuse, addiction and lack of
education is half the program,
says Parks, formerly public
health director for the state of
Pennsylvania.
The program's other goal is
to teach people to support each
other, explains Parks,"a big part
of our program is to link people
up."
The program consists of ten
core people who meet each
month for two ho~rs. After an
hour long presentation by a guest
speaker they form a su~port
group for an hour. Educauonal
levels range from eighth grade
to college _degrees. Progr~m
members with more education
and skills act as mentors for others in the group.
Members arc also required
to attend a training course called
Breaking Barriers, a goal setting
course used to help convicts readjust to society upon being released from prison. The Oregon

Campus drug problem
underestimated in size
BY GARY HANIUK
slaff wriler

"More people of college age
will die of alcohol related causes
(accidents, overdoses and suicide) than will go to graduate
school," says Mark Harris, the
substance abuse coordinator at
LCC. "Nationally speaking,
seven to 10 percent of students
drop out directly related to alcohol.
"If we have studies going
back over a century that show
that the highest level of drug
users come from the more welleducated sectors of society, then
obviously just simply giving out
information is not enough," says
Harris.
Harris wants LCC students,
as well as staff, to be knowledgeable about the alcohol and
drug abuse problem here on
campus.
"There· s basically three
stages of prevention," says Harris. "Primary prevention, which
is before alcohol and drug use

starts; secondary prevention is
before chemical dependency
steps in and is established, this
usually happens while drug use
is going on; and tertiary prevention is after someone has gone
through treatment."
LCC has students in all three
stages. There are parents, who
are students, working on their
own teen-aged kid's drug problem. LCC also has students
coming from homes where
drug and alcohol is a everyday
ritual. In addition there are students who have, willingly
or unwillingly, taken the steps
to come clean of alcohol, or
drugs.
According to Harris this
means LCC needs to become
better educated about a problem
that has been around ever since
the opening of the institution.
The students, along with the staff,
must unite together, launch a
drug and alcohol campaign to
bring down growing statistics,
he said.

Senate puts ballot measures on hold
HY LARRY HAFTL
associate editor

The ASLCC Senate has decided to temporarily remove
• from consideration the three
ballot measures dealing with reallocation of student fees. This
action was in response to a motion from Senator Vida Ellins
that more time be taken to gather
information and student input.
The S~na te made its decision in a four to three vote, with
one abstention, at its Feb. 2
meeting. After the vote, the
Senate noted that the proposed
ballot measures will still be
discussed by the LCC Board of
Education at its Feb. 10 meeting.
Prior to the vote, several
statements were taken from the
gallery on this matter.
DonAddison, vice president
of the Native American Students
Association, said, "I deplore the
fact that the public hearing (see
"All ballot measure hearings

it did. I wish more Senators had
been there to hear what was being said."

in the main cafeteria. Borella
invited the Senate to attend and
listen to students' concerns.
Senator Chris Browning,
who moderated the public hearing Feb. 1 on the proposed ballot
measures, also regretted that he
was the only Senator at the hearing and that he intends to hold
another hearing when more
Senators can attend. No date was ·
set.
Vice President of Student
Services Linda Fossen also spoke
from the gallery on the curr~nt
status of the special election to
consider recalling ASLCC
President Bill Hollingsworth.
She noted that Hollingsworth has
filed a grievance with LCC
administration protesting her
decision to proceed with the

election. A legal opinion from
the LCC attorney, given to her
on Feb. 1, said the election should
go forth even though the appeal
is pending. The recall election
will still be held Feb. 22-25 as
planned.
In other business, Cultural

BY KRISTINE REYNOLDS

When Martain Luther King, Jr. dreamed of a color blind
society he was referring to a desire for there to be absence of
prejudice based upon the color of one's skin. He wanted
people to view all people as humans first and foremost. Then
race distinction would become irrelevant. We might then pay
no attention to the hue of brown one wears. My daughter
remarked that she wished · she had a suntan like the little
Black girl's next door, because it was so pretty, so adults
would view skin color as beauty in diversification rather than
a determinant for individual superiority.
When I think about this dream, I am reminded of Rene
Descartes when he wondered how one determines reality
from dreams. I answer that question easily, because my
dreams are in black and white. Reality as I have been taught
it exists in a full spectrum of colors. I wonder why I ~on 't
dream in color as other people do. Then I ask myself, "Is it
because I was raised to believe that everything in this world
to be judged is either black or white?" Does this apply also
to racism, sexism, agism, and other prejudices? Are the
answers always black and white, or are the answers in
understanding that every matter under the sun may lie within
a shade of gray even as humans are a shade of brown.
Need we be color blind to be equitable with all humans?
If I were unable to see any colors except black, white, and
gray, I could still see full lips, broad noses, and curley hair.
When people need somebody to blame for their problems,
what stops them from choosing these features instead of the
color of skin. No, even color blindness woud be useless if I
was determined to discriminate. What is needed is a moderate and liberal perspective which recognizes there are many
solutions to problems, many ways to accomplish things and
the beauty which lies in individual features and characteristics, such as those found in plants and animals.
Truly I believe there is nothing in reality which is
absolutely white, except the totality of all existence and
creation. There is nothing in this world which is absolutely
black, except the absence of matter, and where there is no
matter there is energy.
What does Martin Luther King's dream mean to me? It
means I must seize each opportµnity to share support, validation, and understanding to each individual I meet. It means
I can look upon the races as the trees of this planet, the
mahogany, the oak, the ebony, and the maple, with pleasures
because each is unique, yet has certain basic elements in
common that define them as trees. I can look at any human,
Black, White, Oriental, Native American, disabled, ill poor,
female, male, and realize the blood, muscles, and internal
organs which live under that skin began in the same colors.
I can remeber that most ofus have memories, desires, beliefs,
and a sense of time, past, present, and future. These things we
all have in common, these plus death. For surely, we do all
die, and White people have not yet proven themselves
superior to other races by avoiding this inevitability.
My husband was color blind. As a result, he could not see
the red in my hair or the green in my eyes. He could not see
an aurora borealis. He could not fully apprecitate the leaves
in autumn or the flowers in spring. I would not want to be
color blind, because I would miss these things. I would,
however, like to live in a world where color is not used as a
basis for oppression. I would like to live in a world where
rigid rules give way to understanding and cooperation. I
would like to live in a world where people look beyond the
color of one's skin to the trueness of their soul.

Soprano Darcy DuRuz, well known for her work throughout Europe
and U.S. will perform in the Blue Door Theatre on Feb. 11 at a p.m.

Internationally renowned soloist
brings power of voice to Lane
BY LUKE STRAHOTA'
arts & entertainment editor

Recitalist/soloist Darcy DuRuz will
present a night of classical singing, accompanied by pianist Christine Mirabella
inside LCC's Blue Door Theater on
Thursday, Feb. I 1.
With the power of an entire orchestra, DuRuz generates intensity from the
music. However, the power comes only
from her voice and her orchestra is a
piano or an acoustic guitar.
Before moving to Eugene three years
ago, DuRuz performed as a soloist and
recitalist in Europe and the U.S. Having
worked extensively in Barcelona and
Madrid, Spain she has gained experience that has helped her become a unique

interpreter of Spanish and South American music.
Even though her music is labeled
"classical," DuRuz feels that her music
is attracting a diverse crowd, a mixture
of young and old.
"People think that classical is for
older people._But I've noticed that since
I've moved to Eugene, I've gotten a few
fans who are younger and can appreciate

Double victory nets both basketball teams second place
The womens' basketball
team is only one game
behind conference leader
Mt. Hood.
â– 

BY DONALD SMALLEY
sports editor

Keeping pace with Mt. Hood
seems to be the name of the game for
the Lady Titans as they go through
the final four league games before a
possible showdown with Mt. Hood
Feb. 20.
Lane held its end of the bargain
Wednesday, Feb. 6 defeating Southwestern Oregon 72-63 to bring its
league record to 7-2, a game behind
Mt. Hood at 8-1.
The game wasn't as easy as the
score might indicate. The Lady Titans could only manage a one point
lead of 34-33 at halftime until they
pulled away in the second half.
Although they came away with a
nine point victory, the Lady Titans
only shot 26/76 for a dismal 34 per-

cent. SWOCC shot equally as bad,
21/61 for the same percentage.
The team also had an edge up
• front. LCC outrebounded its opponents 44-28.
LCC had four players in double
figures. Sophomore Kelly Boles with
12, sophomore Summer Milburn and
freshman Sarah Schaan each had 11
points and freshman Jill Peterson had
10.
Sophomore Margaret Hoyenga
proved to be the chairman of the
boards with her second straight game
with 16 rebounds.
In the last game in the month of
January, the Lady Titans were able to
snap their two game losing streak by
downing the Chemeketa Chiefs 5955 in the LCC gym.
The team went 5-0 in league until
Mt. Hood and Linn-Benton defeated
Lane to put them in second place.
LCC forged a 29-21 lead heading
into the lockerroom, but the Chiefs
were able to come back to eventually
tie the score before the Lady Titans
were able prevail and to complete the

season sweep of Chemeketa.
The team shot 40 percent (25/62)
from the field. The key was that the
Chiefs only shot 17 /58 for a terrible
28 percent.
Kelly Boles led the Lady Titans
in scoring with 17 points and sophomore Jill Graves came off the bench
to score 14 points and grab eight rebounds . Hoyenga 9high game · honors
with her first of 16-rebound games.
"Honestly, I was surprised in how
well Chemeketa played," sophomore
post Jill Graves said. "In the first
ame, they were not as ready to play us
as they were in the second game. They
showed a lot of improvement as a
team."

With a victory over SWOCC,
the Titans climb back into a
three-way tie for the number
two spot in the conference.
â– 

BY FLINT DUTELL
staff writer

The Titans once again were able to
put on a tremendous show of defense to
stop their opponents.
The victim was the Southwestern
Oregon Lakers who fell, 62-56 in
Wednesday night's NW AACC league
game. The victory moved the Titans into
a three way tie for second place in the
Southern Conference with a 6-3 league
record.
The Ti tans' were down 15 in the first
half. But, they were able to cut the deficit
down to seven by halftime, 40-33.
In the second half, the tide turned.
The Titans' defense held the Lakers to
only 19 points in the final 20 minutes,
while the offense totaled 29 to secure the
victory.
Sophomore Geoff Rasmussen led
LCC with 17 points, while freshman Jon
Rider poured in 15.
The Titans played their best game of
the year as they defeated the Chemeketa
Chiefs in Saturday night's (Feb. 3)
NW AACC matchup 67-50.
Hope for victory wasn't high as the
season high crowd of 642 shuffled into
the LCC gym. Pessimism came from the
past week where Lane's starting center
and fourth leading scorer freshman Grag
Klosterman, was forced to sit out the rest
of the season with a reocurring stress
fracture in his right foot. Also, freshman
Ty Overby and Allen Demianiuk were
suspended indefinately by Head Coach
Jim Bou tin for braking team rules.
At the beginning of the first half, the
Titans came out of the Iockerroom inspired, playing an extremely tough defense that held Chemeketa scoreless for
the first seven and a half minutes.
After scoring the first 14 points of the
game, the Titans forged a 36-17 halftime
lead. "Even though we only had eight
playe~. we came together as a team and
we all played our hearts out," said
Rasmussen, who assumed a starting position by scoring a game high19 points,
grabbing seven rebounds, and tallying
three assists and three steals.
Lane shot 24/54 for 44 percent,
outrebounded the Chiefs 37-24 and forced
18 turnovers.
"The team did the only thing it could
do. Play together, play hard and have
fun," freshman Marc Nipp said after he
scored a double-double, 10 points and 10
rebounds.
The Titans hit the road Saturday,
Feb. 9 to battle first place Clackamas.

MENTOR continued from page 1
Department of Corrections donated the textbooks and Ron
Chase, of Sponsors - a nonprofit corporation that helps
convicts - is teaching the course
free of charge.
"To get people into a self
sufficiency mode takes more
than money," says Chase, "It
talces skillbuilding, which is what
the peer •mentor program
teaches."
Two of Parks clients are
currently enrolled at Lane Community College, Crawford relates, and more are planning to
attend.
One of the program's clients
is attending LCC sign language
classes and hopes to work in the
criminal justice system as an
interpreter in the courts.
Gladys also uses two clients
with higher education as "point
people." They review her letters, help her with application
forms and are members of the
program steering committee.
The peer mentor program
can be reached at 345-3628.

When attending college,
some students must find a financial institution that will suit
their checking and savings needs
at an affordable price. Many
students join banks, but in reality, credit unions can serve both
students and members in general
much better than banks.
Two local credit unions, ULane-O and SELCO have
memberships open to students.
U-Lane-O also serves state employees and primarily UO students and alumni, while SELCO
extends its services to LCC students as well as all school, city,
county and federal employees,
veterans and member's families.
"The main benefit for anyone is that a credit union is
member owned and operated, so
you as a member have a say in
things," SELCO loan representative Patti Burnette said. "Being
a member, you are a part owner
of the credit union."
At SELCO, membership is
open to LCC students with a $5
openingfee.Membersmustkeep
a minimum of $25 in their account, but, SELCO savings earn
an interest rate of 3.25 percent.
As for checking, SELCO has
only a $5 service charge and
with a minimum balanceof$300,
there is no charge for checks.
According to Burnette, the
interest rate for Visa credit card
accounts at SELCO is outstanding at 13.9percent. Usually, Visa
accounts can have interest rates
anywhere from 15 percent at US
Bank to around 19 or 20 percent
at City Bank.
As opposed to most banks,
SELCO keeps members informed with newsletters and
seminars to let members know
how they can benefit themselves
as credit union members.
Another direct advantage to
students is the fact that credit unions are non-profit organizations. Unlike banks, if there are
any profits at credit unions, they
are given back to the members in
such forms as dividends, extra
services and facilities.
Not only do members have
a say in who handles their money,
but they also get to be a part of
how their credit union is run.
