College receives an unexpected windfall;
$900,000 added to this year's budget
BY SONJA TAYLOR
editor

LCC will be receiving
$900,000 to $1 million in unbudgeted funds, according to
Vice President of Administration Dick Hillier. "The state sent
us a letter saying that we (the
college) would be receiving the
money in four payments," he
said.
Hillier says that the money
represents "residual backfill." He
went on to say that the state
originally planned to provide the

college with additional funding
due to the budget crunch .imposed on LCC by Measure 5.
The level of funding through
taxes was unexpectedly high this
year. The combination resulted
in a surplus of funds for LCC.
According to Hillier money
that was expected in November
to cover $250,000 in equipment
costs for the college never came
through. When the college recently learned of the additional
funds from the state, it dedicated
$250,000 to cover those equip-

ment costs. The rest of the money
is not marked for anything specific, according to Hillier.
Hillier sees a potential for part
of the remaining $650,000$7 50,000 to be spent on complying with the American Disabilities Act. "We could spend
up to $1.3 million on ADA,"
says Hillier. He said that complying with ADA is something
the college needs to do and added
that it would be reasonable for
some of the "backfill funding"
to alleviate part of that cost.

ASLCC President Bill
Hollingsworth announced his
resignation, effective immediately, at the Feb. 9 ASLCC
Senate meeting. "They don't
pay me enough to put up with

Letters to the Editor

The ASLCC Senate
should be commended
The Torch editorial board commends the ASLCC Senate for sustaining its decision to withdraw from consideration the premature ballot measures dealing with student fee allocations.
This decision not only demonstrates the Senate's willingness to listen to student concerns, it also sets the
stage for a much needed investigation
into appropriate ways to fund the now
threatened Student Health Services. •
From the moment the LCC administration announced its recommendatio_n to cut funding of SHS,
student response has been overwhelmingly in favor of finding alternative funding.
SHS makes critically needed primary health care services available to
all ASLCC members at little or no
cost. Because of its low cost, SHS is
the only primary health care many
budget-strapped students have·access
to. As such, it is an important link in
the chain of services that enable many
Lane County residents to further their
education and improve the quality of
their lives and our community.
LCC is the only community college in Oregon with such a program.
Unfortunately, SHS's uniqueness is
often cited as a logical reason to cut its
funding. This uniqueness stems from
the fact that SHS started out as a student funded experiment. The fact that
it has proven its worth many times
over demonstrates that SHS should be
held up as a role model instead of
being treated as an aberration.
The LCC Board of Education has
decided to stop funding the Student
Health Services program from the
general fund beginning with the 199394 school year. The cut is the first of a
series to be made by the Board
in response to a projected $1
million budget shortfall for that year
and a projected $3 million
shortfall for the 1994-95 school
year.
In making those cuts all of the
Board members expressed regret that
such a decision must be made. Several
noted that SHS was very much a part
of what makes LCC unique and one of
the top community colleges in the na-

Hollingswo rth asks Is recall justifiable?

tion. Unfortunately, the Board's primary mission is to insure adequate
funding for basic education.
We regret and understand their
decision. But we are encouraged by
their recognition of the importance
SHS provides, albeit as a support rather
than an educational service. •
We believe it is possible for students to work with the administration
and the Board to find stable, longterm funding for SHS that everyone
can live with.
We urge the ASLCC Senate to
take a leading role in finding funding
for SHS that wouldnotdiminisho ther
important services now funded by
student fees.
In its search for such funding we
hope it will avoid linking issues in the
same way the original proposed ballot
measures did.
Linking funding of the Child Care
Co-op, OSPIRG and other programs
to the funding of Student Health Services was a disservice to the entire
student body. It clouded completely
separate issues and would have forced
many students to make no-win decisions. If the Senate feels compelled to
address other fee issues then address
them as separate choices instead of
tradeoffs.
We believe most students would
willingly pay the $6.50 per term in
student fees needed to fund SHS.
When compared to the cost of one
visit to a doctor's office, one visit to
SHS will easily save a student more
than the $19.50 they would spend per
year to support SHS.
We urge the Senate to seek at
least partial funding from the Board
with the remainder being paid by student fees. If the Board is unwilling or
unable to provide support then we
recommend the Senate propose giving students a choice on the spring
election ballot to increase fees.
We believe that giving students
an opportunity to buy primary health
care for a few dollars a term is not only
fiscally responsible, it is an obligation
forced on the Senate by current circumstances. We hope it will open its
mind to this new reality and respond
with wisdom as well as integrity.

.

To the Editor,
I would like to take this opportunity to speak on behalf of myself and
the current recall effort here on campus. Approximately 650 of you are
unhappy with me enough to sign a
petition which calls for a special .
election to recall me from the office of
ASLCC President. But do you really
know the issues and the laws governing
the ASLCC? Did you sign because you
truly believed that I am guilty of all the
charges on the petition? Do you
honestly feel that a recall is justifiable?
The process to change student
government does not begin with the
drawing up or signing of a petition, the
process be gins by becoming a part of
student government, coming to meetings, educating yourself on the issues,
asking questions, and providing
feedback. I have never refused to speak
with a student, I urge you all to stop by
the Student Government Office to chat,
attend a Senate Meeting, or sit in on a
committee meeting.
I truly believe that the students
here at LCC are being served by an
exceptional Senate. Your student
government representatives and
officers are extremely intelligent, hardworking, dedicated, and caring. Their
sense of responsibility to protect the
rights of all students on campus, at the
same time being· sensitive to individual
needs, shows in all of their decisions
and endeavors. I too strive to see that
all students on campus are represented
and am proud to work with these
critical thinkers.
The ASLCC Judiciary Committee,
as outlined in the ASLCC Constitution,
will be reviewing the validity of the
petition, the petition process itself, and
the allegations against me.The Judiciary Committee Guidelines specifically state that one of the committee's
duties is to: "Determine the intent and
validity of any petition related to or in
any way affecting the ASLCC." These
guidelines and extra copies are on file
in the ASLCC Office. This is a standing committee, created years ago to
hear student grievances and to protect
the rights of all students.
I would like to close by thanking
all of the people who, every day, take
the time to let me know that they
support me and this Student Government. Your positive input makes it all
worthwhile.
Bill Hollingsworth
ASLCC President

ASLCC Senate
disappoint ing
To the Editor,
On February 2, 1993, I attended an
ASLCC meeting in which I stood up
and addressed them about cutting
student health. I was misinformed. This
student government has been unable to
get anything done. I think that the
general student body is getting students
who are in student government only to
make their resumes look good. They
just sat there looking at me like they
really couldn't care less if the Health
Center stayed open, or closed, and all I
got was a nod of heads once in a while.
I then went out to talk to some people
in the hallway. I came back to the
meeting saying that I was going to
interrupt their meeting for just a

minute. Yes, I'm guilty of interrupting
an ASLCC meeting while the student
government was doing business. I've
been a student body senator in the past
(1988-1989), a student body
President's Assistant, a Voter Registration Coordinator, and a Precinct Person
in the Democratic Party. I know what
kind of decisions are made in student
government, and, frankly, they 're not
that hard to make. Another thing that
upsets me even more is the fact that
this student government has run the
ASLCC like a second grade kiddy
show. I've taken great pride in representing the students in the past, and I
can't stand by any longer and see
ASLCC being dragged through the
mud. My advice to the current ASLCC
senators is to resign now. I've talked
with ASLCC President Bill
Hollingsworth about a couple of issues
that have been circulating around
campus. One such issue _was of the
Health Center which can help every
student here on campus. I think a lot of
things could have been handled differently by Bill, and by The Torch, and by
a few over zealous students here on
campus. I think that we, the students,
need to see a peaceful end to this inhouse fighting.
Randy Rawson

Student tired of
recall effort
To the Editor,
I have grown tired of all the
whining here on campus. Diversity is
great if people can learn from it and
flourish in such an environment, but at
LCC I do not see people learning from
one another. More often I see intolerance and hatred waiting around every
comer, hiding in every backpack,
lurking on the newstands and invading
into the learning environment of the
classroom.
What is all this recall of
Hollingsworth crap? The man was
voted in by a proven majority of the
students (who bothered to vote in the
petty charade of democracy that passed
for a race last year) and stood up to
immediate complaints from the sore
losers that he campaigned unfairly.
Are these new recall-happy people
not seeing recent history? I.E. the failed
attempt to get a new election set up
after last year's victory by
Hollingsworth. At this time it does no
good to try and change the man in
office, instead try and change his mind.
He is supposed to be a student representative, a inan with his name on a
door somewhere in the bowels of the
Center Building. He has a few measly
powers granted him by the constitution
of this school. If you believe that Bill
Hollingsworth is worth trying to topple
from his perch of power, be my guest
and waste your time.
It is a small world, and the sooner
we all get over the petty negative
assumptions and juvenile hatreds, the
sooner we can all start living our own
lives and be free from the fear of a
wrong choice. Bill is not a bad guy,
I've had a few calm conversations with
him. Why don't the recall people just
concentrate on winning their cause in a
more positive manner. Throwing out a
man who is doing his damn best to help
as many people as possible with the
little funds available seems to be a bit
drastic. Calm down, folks, it's not that
bad.

Student Services
put to good use
Student Services at LCC range from library
use, alcohol and drug support groups, student
health, to career information and theater.
There are approximately 25 services that cater to the students of LCC.
These_Student Services are primarily funded
by student fees.
(Clockwise from right) It's that time of year
again and LCC has help for people who have
income tax questions. Ruben Moore (left), a retired Springfield Administrator, along with Janey
Gamble, LCC student, are present to answer
questions on correct filing of forms before April 15.
Income tax help is free and available on the
second floor in the Center Building.
Students Stephan Oxman (left) and Ravial
Thomas take a break from their busy schedules to

Eugene Ballet Company: The White Rabbit
and King and Queen of Hearts are still there but
with a visual twist.

•
BY LUKE STRAHOTA
arts & entertainment editor

Perhaps when Lewis Carroll
originally wrote" Alice in Wonderland," what he imagined was
far more electrifying than how
the story has been portrayed
throughout the years in television and in the theater.
The story of a little girl's
adventures with the white rabbit, the King and Queen of
Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the
March Hare, the Dormouse, and
no, don't forget the mushroom,
has become a story so surreal
and mystifying that children
cannot deny its imaginary power.
And yet at the same time, so full
of wonderfully written underlying messages, it carries a sense
of analysis only adults could
think up.
The Eugene Ballet Company
has taken the soul of this classic
tale and produced a visual experience young and old will not
forget.
•Through a tight collaboration between choreographers,

costume designers, lighting designs, and technical engineers,
the Eugene Ballet Company is
"taking a far-out story and making it even more far-out," according to EBC Managing Director.Riley Grannan.
"For people who have seen
the Disney version or seen the
drawings in the story books, this
play will be a bit different. We're
not trying to replicate something
someone's done, but instead,
look at it from a different angle,"
says Grannan.
This different angle consists
of magic tricks, life-size photos
(by LCC instructor David Joyce),
English folk music, giant lobsters, nine-feet-high foam flamingos and dodo birds, and caterpillars who magically divide,
sprout wings and become
Lilliputian butterflies on stage.
Costume designer Lynn
Bowers, who has transformed
dancers into various characters
for EBC, is putting the hat into
the Mad Hatter, the white into
the White Rabbit, and some heart

into the King and Queen. Encasing the dancers with magical
col?r and tones is guest lig?t
des1gnerLloydSobelof Aspens
(Colo.) Wheeler Opera House.
Resident lighting designer and
technical director Thomas Coats
will put the finishing touches on
the magical·sets and props.
In addition to the visuals,
fonner producing director David
Lunney of the Oregon Repertoire Theatre will appear as the
narrator in the role of Lewis
Carroll and other peculiar personalities in Alice. This addition, according to Grannan, gives
the ballet a sense of theater and
helps tell the story.
Previous to the main performance of"Alice in Wonderland"
will be three ballets entitled
"Captured Angel," "Two's
Company," and "Tango for
Five." All three are said to be a
great warm-up to the visuals in
the 50 minute Alice show.
This world premier presentation will come to the Hult
Center's Silva Stage on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 21 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets range from $7 to $36. For
more information call the Hult

Modern niusic and dance featured in Sound Steps
BY LUKE STRAHOTA
arts & entertainment editor

For the first time, the Lane
Community College Performing
Arts Department will present a
collaboration performance exploring new vis ions of electronic
music and contemporary dance,
entitled "Sound Steps."
By combining Lane's Electronic Artistry with Dance Artistry, both of which are annual
programs, the expectations for
the visual/sound performance is
to create a "total theater experience," according to LCC Dance
Program head Mary Seerei ter.
"Electronic Artistry has always brought in guest artists and
composers. There would be one
or two pieces with dance, but the
dance was always subordinate
with what else was going on. In
this show, the two art forms will
exist togetfler with equal standing," says Seereiter.
Since Oct. of '92, composers and choreogr.aphers have
worked closely together to make
the event a most unforgetable
ensemble of post-modem sounds

and sights.
Compositions by electronic
musicians/composers Jeff Defty,
Heather Perkins, ,and Dennis
Pearman will be used to b~ck-up
the dancers. The three will also
be accompanied by other Eugene area electronic musicians
from the Mythic Sky ensemble.
Defty, who has released two
recordings of original electronic
and acoustic recordings, has been
hailed by Bill McGlaughlin,
conductor and host of NPR 's
~'Saint Paul Sunday Morning,"
as "a solid musician and a master composer, capable in both
instances of deep introspection;
(his recordings) have enough
moments of remarkable beauty
and rare insight to last a lifetime."
For the concert, Defty will

Lady Titans are victorious
BY DONALD SMALLEY
sports editor

The Lady Titans came from
an I I-point deficit midway
through the second half and the
team turned the defense up a
notch to claim a 70-63
NW AACC victory over the
Timberwomen
Umpqua
Wednesday, Feb. 10.
The team still has a hold of
second place of the Southern
Conference with a league record
of 8-3 and a league leading
overall record of 21-4. They are
two games behind Mt. Hood,
who has a 10-1 league record.
The score was relatively
close throughout the game.

The two teams traded baskets in the first half, ending in a
40-39 Umpqua lead. In the second half, the Timberwomen
came out firing. They scored the
initial eight points of the second
half to take a 50-39 ·edge and
that's when the Lady Titans defense clamped down.
The aggressh,:e style defense
only allowed Umpqua to score
13 points in the last 15 minutes
of the ball game.
The Timberwomen were in
the game towards the end though.
Umpqua's Stephanie Morss and

Jamie Scdoris both blew oneand-one attempts that could have
tied the game.
Unlike Umpqua, Lane made
their free-throws down the
stretch by hitting six of seven
shots from the charity stripe in
the final 1: 11.
Freshman Kelly Boles led
the way with 18 points and6'0'
freshman Sarah Schaan scored
17 points inside and grabbed 10
rebounds.
"We really played as a team
tonight," said Schaan after the
triumph.

she has standing orders from a

These services are free to Mt.

As for child care, LCC is the
only community college campus in Oregon that has a student
supported Co-Op. At most colleges child care is offered
through the Early Childhood
Education department, and space
is limited.
LCC is not alone in facing
possible budget cu ts and loss of
programs. Mike Gaudette, director of college advancement at
Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay, says
that their board is also looking
carefully atall of Southwestern 's
current programs. He says students there could be faced with
losing the open tuition window,
which allows them to take up to

funded at community colleges
around the state.

Dana Doyel
Dr. Martin Luther King, a man with a
vision. A vision shared by many whether
their skin is black, white, yellow, or red.
Dr. King envisioned a colorblind society.
What exactly docs a colorblind society
mean? Well there are many extenuating
circumstances that must come in to play if
the vision is to come true. Many facets of
society as well as individuals must change
in order to realize the dream. The dream of
a colorblind society.
One of the many facets of a colorblind
society is one in which the media discontinues it's negative portrayal of various
minority groups. Why is it that black men
are so frequently given roles as ex-convicts, drug-abusers, gangsters, or just
criminals in general? Is it a mistake that
native americans are portrayed as savage
killers? How about women depicted as
either weak and helpless or promiscuous,
self-serving, and spiteful? A colorblind
society is one in which the media portrays
all people as equal, and capable of achieving their goals.
Another facet of a colorblind society is
the cessation of the economic barriers being imposed on minorities today. How long
will white men be able to obtain a job based
solely on thecoloroftheirskin? How much
longer will they continue to make nearly
twice the amount of income than that of a
minority doing the same job? A colorblind
society is one in which all people have an
equal opportunity to excel in the economic
arena.
A colorblind society is one in which
cultural diversity is not only accepted, but
considered an education. Why can't African-Americans wear ethnic clothing out in
public without drawing stares? Why can't
the native americans do rain dances in
Central Park without wreaking havoc? A
colorblind society accepts other cultures
with open arms and uses this opportunity
as a learning experience.
Dr. King had a vision. If Dr. King
were here today he would be speaking on
behalf of all the minorities. I believe that
Dr. King intended a society without any
prejudice at all. This goes far beyond skin

color. What about religion, sex, sexual
preference, weight, hairlength, style of
dress, age, or political persuasion? Why
can't individuals everywhere take everyone else as just that, individuals? Why
must people continue to make judgements according to what they see on the
outside? Without trying to sound too
cliche, don't judge a book by its c~ver.
A colorblind society is one in which
we as individuals take each and every
person for who they are on the inside. A
society that does not make stereotypical
statements or blanket remarks. A society
that does not pass judgement on any
group of people. To quote Jesus, "let he
who hath no sin upon his hand cast the
first stone."
A colorblind society consists of one
in which diversity is accepted. The media begins to take responsibility for their
actions and begins to promote positive
use of one of the world's most powerful
tools for reaching the masses. Individuals start to look deep into their hearts and
realize racism and discrimination in any
form are wrong. Economic incentives are
distributed equally among the people and
the power is given back to the people. A
society in which everyone has an
equal opportunity regardless of their
skin color, age, weight, hairlength, religion, style of dress culture, sex, sexual
preference or political persuation.
Is not that what our founding fathers
meant when they wrote the constitution
that we so proudly speak of? Does it not
set the motion for equality? When will
we do more than have a little piece of
paper that supposedly guarantees our
rights? If it is not working then it is time
to try something new. The least that a
person can do is change themselves and
maybe it will cause a chain reaction. A
colorblind society, a society based on
love.

Let there be no doubt that Martin Luther
King Jr.' s dream of color blind society was
and still is a most noble and just aspiration.
It is a dream of equality and harmony, a
vision of justice and freedom from oppression. As King has said, "I have a dream
that one day this nation will rise up and Ii ve
out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold
these truths to be self-evident: That all men
are created equal."'
Those powerful words and the others
from that stirring speech should mean a
great deal to everyone. But the fact is, there
are still a large number of us who deny or
fail to see the meaning of King's poetic
words. Those of us who have never been
labeled or considered second class citizens,
who have yet to be told where to live, eat or
obtain an education, those who have never
been the target of hate and police brutality,
or have never been degraded, objectified or
denied basic, fundamental rights simply on
the basis of ascribed status. However, even
without any of the above experiences, can
we not all relate to feelings of alienation,
fear or intimidation?
No one enjoys being denied opportunities, and certainly no one relishes being
looked upon with hatred or fear. We all
need association, love and approval. Every
human deserves respect and dignity. King's
vision of a color blind society means more
to me than the words themselves. It means
a society that understands and no longer
fears the differences and similarities each
of us as humans possess.
From King's dream I have created my
own heartfelt aspirations for our society. I
would like to expand his cry for racial
equality so that it includes equality between genders, equality for children,
equality for people of diverse religious
affiliation, and equality for people regardless of sexual orientation.

is still alive and well in this society. Whether
it be through domestic violence, sexual
discrimination, the rising incidence of rape,
or the still present discrepancy in women's ·
pay. We currently make 72 cents for every
dollar a man makes. I hope to live to see an
end to this state of affairs.
With each passing day there is a rising
concern for the welfare of our nation's
children. I fear they have been forgotten as
a priority and this neglect will hurt us all.
Religious disputes and the resulting prejudice is also quite harmful and alienating for
many. And hating someone because of
their sexual preference is not only destructive for this generation, but for the children
to come. At some point we all must learn to
live with one another, and after that we
must begin to understand each other.
This is a tall order. One which we as
Americans are far from filling. America
has written many people a "bad check."
But like King, I refuse to believe that the
bank of justice is bankrupt. What we all
need is a renewed sensitivity to the plight of
our brother's and sisters who face daily
obstacles that we do not. The time for
questioning all of the above injustices is
long overdue, but more than that, the time
for realizing that we are all creatures in
need of love, support, respect and recognition is well at hand.
If prejudice and hate are taught, then
why too can't we learn love and acceptance? I believe we can. Martin Luther
King Jr. was right on the mark when he said
that those who are not part of the solution
are part of the problem. Not one of us can
remain passive or apathetic to the existence
of injustice. I dream that one day soon we
will unite in our interest to seek solutions
that will put an end to these obstructions of
justice. I dream that soon we will experience equality within the realm of a color
blind society.
