BY SONJA TAYLOR 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 this. My physical and mental health is going down the tubes," said Hollingsworth. He then turned the meeting over to Vice President John Mitchell and walked out. anThe nouncement came immediately after Senate the his decision. Until his resignation is accepted I am required to move forward with the recall election." Earlier in the meeting the Senate discussed the scheduled recall election. Responding to a request from Senator Al Schermerhorn, the Senate voted to delay the recall election two weeks but then learned From Vice President of Stu dent Services Linda Fossen that they did overrode Hollingsworth' s veto of its decision to withdraw the three proposed ballot measures dealing with reallocating student fees. In a memo to ■Senate, the Hollings worth explained that he vetoed the decision because he believes students Bill Hollingsworth have a right to vote on the referendums. He also not have the power to do so. The initial Senate decibelieves that the Senate's decision to withdraw the pro- sion was based on a memo posed ballot measures was submitted by Schermerhorn. the result of the Senate being In it Schermerhorn indicated intimidated by "a very vocal that he had discussed this matter with Fossen and that minority." she was "very supportive." prior discussion In their The delay was requested to the veto override vote, several Senators said their . in order to give the Judiciary reason for withdrawing the Committee time to look into measures was to allow time the recall petition and deterto gather more input and give mine if it had merit.

Opinion 2 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. The TORCH Staff Editor ..............................................

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. Bob Madyn Opinion , February 12, 1993 3 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 enjoy some of the free coffee offered by ASLCC on the second floor in the Center Building. If legal service is a necessity, then Bette Dorris in Legal Service, on the second floor in the Center Building next to Photo ID, can help. Using the free phone for local calls, on the second floor in the Center Building, is Shauna Buckner.

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.

February 12, 1993 Arts & Entertainment 5 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 present three pieces. By blend-_ ing Greek mythology and hypnotic trance st~tes, his music will be ~journey though time, body, and mind. Choreographers Maria B. Reader and Cara Haakanson join dancers Leala Sears, Melinda Teutschel, Lynne Tischler, Elise Ann Moore, Beth Ann Prince, and Seereiter, providing the visual aspects of the pieces. "Going South," Pearman's featured piece will be performed by the Mythic Sky ensemble, with Pearman on keyboards, David Helfand on mandocello, PeterThomasonkeyboards, and JoeKimzeyondrums. Described as a large tonal palette created by combining the latest 20th century synthesizer technology with the timeless sounds of acoustic stringed instruments and percussion, Mythic Sky's sound ranges from delicate atmospherics to primal depths. "Sandpainting," created by Choreographer Sarah Hudelson for the Pearman's composition, will be danced by Hudelson, Ann . Kaplan-Neher, and Rob Price. Three additional pieces featured in the concert will be by electronic musician/composer/ audio engineer Heather Perkin, who has performed at previous Electronic Artistries in the past years. This year her performance Choreographer, Sarah Hudelson has created a dance entitled "Sandpainting" to be performed during musician Dennis Pearman's piece, "Going South."

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.

Hood students, and the college's general budget provides funding for the health services. 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 18 credits for a fixed amount of tuition. Next week The Torch will take a look at what student governments offer and how they are funded at community colleges around the state.

February 12, 1993 Martin Luther King Essay Contest Winners > Q 0 ~ > = ~ 0 iE ;z, 0 i 2 of 3 winners of the MLK Jr. Essay Contest. The other winning essay was published in the Feb. 5 issue of The Torch. g:: 2 ~ Cl: < > = ~ § ll,, Melissa Smith 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 Nlghtl\!,:00.Jr,i: I~ "AN ELEGANT ll'ILIII" 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.

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. NURSES. CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION ... THE SMART WAY.
