The class is designed to teach students how to apply basic interpersonal skills in the work place. Tim Blood, counselor and co-teacher of the course says many of the employers he talks with want to hire people who not only have job skills, but can also relate well with others. He says those who take the class will learn the "people skills" that employers want. "A lot of time and energy is wasted when coworkers don't work as a team," he adds. Blood says that his goal in teaching the course will be to help students expand their human relations toolbox, and to give them options for creating postive work environments. Ann Clark, counselor for the Mechanical and Manufacturing Technology department will team teach with Blood. Clark says the students she works with are interested in immediate employment. Its not enough for these students to know technical skills because the workforce is changing and becoming more diverse and global, she says. "Because employers are talking about these skills, students who take the class will enhance their chances for good employment." Clark says. According to Blood the course will cover topics like work style awareness (includes the Myers-Briggs-Type inventory) assertive behavior, anger management, team building and coping with job stress. Vince Foster, a University of Oregon intern working on his doctorate will also join the teaching team. Because communication skills are important in all areas of life, both Blood and Clark agree that students will learn ways of relating to others that will benefit them both personally and professionally. The class is listed in the spring brochure under Human Relations 2 and the registration number is #703.

Under the new regulations all students (those classified as independent or dependent) can qualify for unsubsidizied Stafford loans. "The bottom line of these changes is that more students may be eligible for financial aid. In order for us (financial aid office) to determine whether they are eligible for the programs, they have to complete an application. Conceivably, we could be looking at a really large increase in the number of students applying for financial aid next year," says DeWitt. She suggests that students should to apply early and that students should expect the process to take as long as six months. Another change that the financial aid office is no longer able to correct information on applications. Corrections needed for a student qualifying for a Pell Grant at LCC must be sent to the federal processor for an "official" recalculation of eligibility. Currently, changes that affect Pell Grant eligibility are pla~ed on a Student Aid Report (SAR) and sent to the federal processor with tum-around time of three- Turn to FINANCIAL AID page 12 UO change in credit will have little effect on LCC transfers BY DON REYNOLDS staff writer Changes in the contents of classes and increases in the number of credits awarded for each course at the UO has spurred a series of workshops to help LCC transfer students. The changes, being implemented at the recommendation of a UO strategic planning com- mittee, will bring the UO in line with other four-year schools that operate on a quarter basis, says UO Academic Advisor Marliss Strange.

Our schools, especially institutions of higher education, have been doing their best to recover from the blast of Measure 5. It its effort to balance funding and services, LCC is preparing to cut loose primary health care for students as it reaches for the handhold of a tuition hike. Resisting the painful budget cuts of this year the college sighs, only to find a $3 million plus budget cut on the horizon for 199394. As if this isn't enough, the Feb. 28 issue of The Register Guard (page 1D) proclaimed the birth of the "son of 5." This new proposal, "fathered" by free-lance writer and producer of jalepeno pepper products Clifford Latta, is designed to freeze property assessments at 1989-90 levels, raising only if the properties are sold or built onto. According to Latta, his taxes were lowered by $300 the first year following Measure 5 passed. But, they were raised $300 this year because his property was reassessed. He had expected his taxes to be cut for the second year in a row and he, according to The Register Guard, "didn't get it." This new proposed ballot measure proves that he still doesn't get it. Measure 5 was quite possibly the most foolish thing that Oregonians have managed to mire themselves into, in recent history. Our economy is suffering and jobs are lost every day. Whole industries are being shut down so that some ways of making a living are no longer possible. More money is needed to train dislocated workers as well as the traditional and untraditional students. So far, students have only glimpsed the suffering yet to come from Measure 5. The slight inconvenience of losing primary health care and an increase in tuition are nothing compared to what Oregon's colleges are facing. Students are the future of our community. What they suffer our community suffers as well. Some might say that this new measure won't effect educational spending. Such thinking shows a failure to see the larger picture. When the state gets less money from property taxes, it has less money to give to education. It's that simple. An education is priceless and returns its investment many times over. ASLCC Senate should reconsider eligibility According to Senator Dave Swift, chair of the ASLCC Senate by-laws committee, the ASLCC ByLaws will undergo one more round of changes this year "in order to correct any minor errors." The Torch hopes that during that process the Senate will reconsider its stand on eligibility to hold a Senate office. The last changes to the ByLaws included a statement that LCC staff are no longer allowed to run for or hold Senate office, even if those people are members of ASLCC. This prohibition is patently unfair. There are numerous students on campus who earn a few dollars working directly for LCC. Usually these are students who do not receive financial aid and must work to pay for their education. If they get paid to serve hamburgers at Burger King, they are still eligible to run for office. But if they do the same job here on campus, they become non-entities. This is not only unfair, it's irrational. The Senate should revise the By-Laws to allow any ASLCC member to run for ASLCC office regardless of the way in which those members earn their livings. OSPIRG thanks students for support The OSPIRG pesticide action campaign would like to extend a special thanks to all who participated in our "Pesticide .Action Day" Feb. 17. At this event we conducted two surveys. Thirty people filled out our organic coffee survey expressing an interest in organics as well as support for Foodservices Director Jim Wychules to make organic coffee available in the cafeteria on a regular basis. Sixty-two people filled out our "Pesti Challenge" survey. ·The challenge was to figure out which apple was organically grown vs. the commercially grown produce. To fill everyone in, the "A" apple was the organic variety. Fifty-eight percent preferred the organic apples in this blind taste test and over 85 percent said they would pay 10 percent more for organic produce if available in our cafeteria. This information is very important in the promotion of organics and alternatives to pesticides. Pesticides are toxic, petroleumbased chemicals that are designed to kill other organisms. They are used widely in our environment and eight counties in Oregon have contaminated groundwater because of their use. Sixty-nine pesticides linked to cancer are legally allowed on our food and 32 of these chemicals are not detectable by the Food and Drug Administration's routine monitoring devices. Pesticides are the leading threat to groundwater in Oregon. Since 75 percent of all Orego. nians depend on groundwater for all or part of their drinking water needs we need to prevent further contamination. The 107 students who signed our petition letter and post cards and wrote letters to our legislature made a tangible difference on this important issue. Oregon is one of only seven states that does not require pesticide use reporting. Therefore, we are kept unaware of what pesticides are being used and how much. Pesticide use information will help target areas where additional research into alternative methods is needed. Use reporting will provide farm workers with information about the chemicals applied in work areas and will assist communities working to protect their watershed from contamination. Six LCC students participated in OSPIRG activities on Lobby Day, March 3, and voiced support for a Pesticide-Right-to-Know Law to our state legislature. Senators Cease and Swinger addressed the 50 plus students who attended OSPIRG's Lobby Day activities in Salem and expressed gratitude for their active participation in the governmental process. OSPIRG encourages everyone to get active on an issue that is important to you. Next term we will be organizing projects like Pesticide Action Day, the Hunger Clean-up and Earth Day. Homelessness, recycling and consumer issues will also be addressed. Course credit internships are available and interviews are happening now. Call us for any information at 747-4501; ext. 2166.

KLCC hopes to raise $89,700 during its spring radiothon BY LARRY HAFTL associate editor KLCC will kick off its spring radiothon on March 11 hoping to raise at least $89,700 from listener donations. The money is needed to partially cover operating expenses and to make up for a reduced funding level from LCC. Leaming to cope with budget cuts and increased operating expenses has become an integral part of KLCC Station Manager Steve Barton's job. The level of college funding support for KLCC was reduced $30,000 during the 1991-92 school year. A $10,000 cut is proposed for 1993-94 and Barton expects moderate cuts in the coming years as LCC deals with revenue reductions brought on by Ballot Measure 5. KLCC 's total operating budget for the 1992-93 school year is just under $700,000. Approximately $170,000 comes from LCC, $140,000 from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, $140,000 from business underwriting and the balance from listener donations. Approximately 65 percent of its budget is spent on salaries and benefits. KLCC has eight full time employees, four part time employees and about 75 volunteers. All paid employees are LCC classified staff except Barton who is a member of the administration. The next largest expense is non-local programming. National Public Radio dues are currently $97,000 per year. American Public Radio, which provides Dr. Science, the BBC broadcasts and a number of special reports costs $7,000 this year. PacificaRadiocosts$3,600 per year for one half-hour program per day. Almost all other programming is produced locally. "We have over $500,000 worth of equipment we have to maintain and replace over the years so that's another significant chunk of expense," says Barton. "The rest of the budget is used for general •operating expenses like telephone, travel, staff training, supplies, etc. "I don't want to minimize the fact that we 're being cut, but on the other hand the proposed cuts are less than we thought so everybody feels real positive around here. It will hurt us, but we can deal with it." KLCC 's plan for dealing with the cuts is a combination of reducing expenses, delaying necessary expenditures as much as possible and additional fund raising. "Last year, NPR dues were $93,000. This year they went up to $97,000 and would have been about $112,000 if we had not decided to drop the entertainment package which included programs like 'Car Talk', 'Afro Pop' and 'Blues Stage'," says Barton. "Now we program 'Tropical Beat' which is a locally produced show. The only other network entertainment we use now is 'New Dimensions' and 'Music From the Hearts of Space'. "Other cutbacks include reducing some of the part-time payroll, reducing the cost of pledge premiums, delaying equipment maintenance and generally tightening our belts wherever possible." In addition to the spring radiothon, KLCC will be holding its first ever benefit concert on March 24 (See "Folk duo .. .", page 5).

News 4 March 5, 1993 Proc~eds from reprinting of book to help fund production of 'That Pioneer Roa~' BY DAVID SMITH for the Torch One hundred forty years ago, Elijah Elliott and a band of 1,000 settlers took a short cut off the Oregon Trail and marched into history. Journalism instructor Pete Peterson's book "Our Wagon Train Is Lost" chronicles the train's struggle to reach the Willamette Valley in 1853. Republished by the LCC Foundation, it will go on sale March 8 for $8 at the LCC Bookstores on the main campus, Downtown Center, Cottage Grove and Florence centers . It will also be available at the Springfield and Lane County Museums for $9.60. (A limited number of copies will be available.) The foundation has reproduced the book to help raise funds for the Preforming Arts LCC Department's production of a play about the same topic. Elliott came across the Old Illustration by Jerry Williams from "Our Wagon Is Lost" Oregon Trail from Pleasant Hill to Ft. Boise to meet the wagon train which was carrying his wife and family west. He had been told of a road that would be built through the Cascades by the autumn of 1853, and turned off the CASH FOR BOOKS - beat the rush - avoid the lines - we buy current textbooks, literature, paperbacks,hardbacks two convenient locations to sell books Smith Family Bookstores 768 E 13th 525 Willamette M-F 9-5:00 M-F 9-1:00, 2-5:00 Saturdays 9-2:00 345-1651 Saturdays no buyer 343-4717 RESERVE BOOKS FOR NEXT TERM - bring your Title, Author, Edition - reserve your books now, pay for them the first week of term - save money - buy used books 50-65% (textbooks sold at this store only) Smith Family Bookstore 768 E 13th Avenue hours: monday-saturday 9-5:50 345-1651 SMITH FAMILY BO<DKSTORES we buy and sell quality used books PHOTO BY ARTHUR MASON established trail near Ft. Boise to find the new road. Over 1,000 settlers followed him. Finding themselves hopelessly lost in the Hamey and Malheur lake region and that Elliott had been misin- • formed, the settlers threatened to hang him. Mrs. Elliott pleaded with the angry mob to spare her husband. They let him live after realizing that the Elliotts were in as bad a shape as the rest of them. Making their way to Willamette Pass in the Cascades, Elliott and the emigrants were rescued by settlers of Lane County who put them up for the winter, and in the spring helped them to settle into local communities. The arrival of over 1,000 emigrants almost doubled the size of the population in the county. Peterson is donating all proceeds from the sales of "Our Wagon Train Is Lost" to the LCC theater production of "That Pioneer Road" which will be directed Jim McCarty. According to Peterson, "People are doing more than just buying a book. They are contributing to the effort of LCC students and staff to produce a play about this same episode in early Oregon history." The book was illustrated by Jerry Williams, Director of University Theater.

Normally, says LCC College Work Study Coordinator Becky Newcombe, the committee would only select three students but this term's nominees were so exceptional they decided four students deserved the award. The award, which was instituted last year, is set up to recognize student employees who demonstrate above average qualities of reliability, initiative, personableness, and who make a contribution to their departments. Peggy Buck, David Flores, Cheri Campbell and Maria Paladino received certificates signed by LCC President Jerry Moskus and were honored at a luncheon attended by their supervisors and President Moskus.

Charlene Maclean, LCC Transitions Program coordinator, says that Maria Paladino is especially good at doing intake interviews for the program. She says her calm and clear way of presenting the program makes perspective women students feel safe and hopeful about returning to school.

This commitment has been commended by listeners who tune in for weekly folk music programs such as "Friends & Neighbors," "The Back Porch," Saturday Cafe" and "Mist Covered Mountain." Frequent listeners rely on KLCC to bring this music, along with a variety of many other styles of music. As a public radio station KLCC depends on its listeners to help support it. Through its semi-annual Radiothon listeners contribute money to the station so that it may continue to bring more to the airwaves. As part of KLCC 's continuous off - air fundraising, a night of entertainment is scheduled for March 24. Beginning at 8 p.m., folk artists Robin and Linda Williams will bring their notable harmonies and endearing storysongs to the LCC Performing Arts Theater. The performance style of the Williamses has been summarized by Stephen Holden of the New York Times: "Vocally and instrumentally, the Williamses combine impeccable musical discipline with a bare simplicity and utter lack of pretension." A duo since 1973, the Williamses are recognized in their field as being top musicians, possessing a rare and personal warmth and an infectious sense of humor. On stage, the couple offers a mixture of gospel, Old West story songs, heartbreaking love songs, along with folk and bluegrass.

Experience a different culture through exchange program ■EXCHANGE program accepting applications for 1993-94 school year BY SONJA TAYLOR editor LCC students can spend next year in Japan through the Nagasaki Wesleyan Junior College/LCC exchange program. Since 1984 LCC and Nagasaki Wesleyan Junior College in Isahaya, Japan have offered students an opportunity to study and earn credit while living in a different culture. LCC coordinator for the program, Mason Davis, says that it is not necessary for students to know the · language to be eligible. He says that what LCC is looking for are students with a "demonstrated interest in J apanese culture." According to Davis that in- SPRINGFIELD SCIENTIFIC SUPPLIES Scales Chemicals Lab Equipment 9-6 Mon.- Fri. • 10-5 Sat. 726-9176 1124 Main St. terest can be demonstrated by joining a sister city committee, traveling experience, familiarity with the language, and befriending students from Japan. "We want students who are excited about living in a different culture for about 11 months." Isaya, Japan is comparable in size to Eugene, Ore., Davis explains. While there, students have many opportunities to tutor young children in the English language. Nagasaki Wesleyan is a college of about 600 students. Female exchange students live with a Japanese roommate in a dorm while male exchange students live with off campus with other male exchange students. Davis explains that this is because Japanese junior colleges are traditionally built for female students. Students who are chosen to represent LCC in this exchange program and are eligible for financial aid can use it, says Davis. A scholarship is also available and Davis ~ays that the cost of living in Isahaya is comparable to the cost of living in Eugene. Students will receive credit while in Japan and their grades will be transcripted here. Also, Davis says, ''They will receive the equivelant of two years of Japanese language." Students interested in spending the 1993-94 school year in Japan can pick up applications and written material from Davis in Center 221. The application deadline is April 15.

Sekiguchi is an exchange student who came to the United States through the Nagasaki Wesleyan Junior College/LCC exchange program. When asked "what brought - you to America?" she replies, with a perfectly straight face, "an airplane." Dissolving into giggles she exclaims, "No, just kidding!" "When people from Japan come to America, they often forget they are Japanese," says Sekiguchi. "They want to be American. People in Japan are fascinated by the American culture, especially the young people. They are fascinated by the way Americans dress and wear their hair ... "When I was in Japan I couldn't understand this fascination that everyone had with America, so I wanted to come here to understand," she says. Sekiguchi says she was surprised when she got here because she didn't have a lot of culture conflict. "I was thinking, 'I will have a lot of culture conflict because of the different culture and different way of thinking,• but I have much less than I thought I would. I often forget that I am in a foreign country." Emiko Seklguchl She says that the more she knows about American culture, the more she understands about her own culture. "Now I can compare the two countries and I have a better understanding of my culture," she says. Along with a better understanding of her culture, Sekiguchi says she now has a much better understanding of herself. "I recognize that I am a typical Japanese person," she says. "The way I think and my pattern of doing things are very Japanese." As part of her studies here Sekiguchi is taking individual piano lessons. "I am crazy about the piano," she says.

About five months ago; Logan became one of the 60 percent of co-op students that are offered a paid position by their co-op employers. "Some are paid and some are not," says Logan's co-op coordinator Jpe Freeman, "what we want is for it to be an educational experience." Freeman says that many students are ·not productive for an employer while in the early, learning stages of their training, but "when the student becomes productive, we'd like him to get paid." Logan feels that the first term was a unique learning experience for him. He says he felt immersed in new information and "soaked up a lot" about computers in business and the business of computers. The following terms he developed expertise at the job. • Both Freeman and Wright mentioned the advantage of observing a student before he is hired. The opportunity to "try before you buy," says Wright, gives both the student and the employer a chance to try each other out. /11rm1:1n:■J: :1:i■1n11:u10:mJ:! 1: : : : :!;}:•:-:-:-..... ·1 lliiilitl~l1iiiiliiitfiljiJ EXCHANGE continued from page 9 home in Japan she says that the American version of the electric organ is different and she likes the piano better. Sekiguchi is living with her third host family since coming to the states and she says she likes them very much. "The family I am living with now has two sons," she says. "One is 17 the other is 15. The 17 -year-old is the captain of his high school basketball team and I am very proud of him. Both of them are always helping me to learn English and the American way of thinking." Back in Japan Sekiguchi has an older sister. She says, "When I was in junior high I was already an aunt. It is very weird," Sekiguchi bursts out laughing, "I'm not sure I like it, I'm not old enough. Me an aunt?" • Sekiguchi says her closest friend that she made here, had to move back to her California home. "I often had lunch with her and she listened to all my problems and ga.ve me good advice. "Now I call her often, and my parents as well," she grins. "My parents pay about $500 a month for my phone bill." Students who participate in the exchange are offered a scholarship Sekiguchi says she is very appreciative of this.

Each department will have to justify the grounds for increasing credits, says Strange. "Transferability of courses will not be affected," says Strange, who stressed the total credits required for graduation will remain unchanged. Clusters of courses will be defined more loosely, but group requirements will remain the same. The content changes are intended to allow for more depth in each subject. In general, says Strange,. lower division courses will require more lecture time while upper division classes will have more lab time and assignments. Information on the course changes is just becoming available, says LCC Academic Advisor Charlene Blinn, who is concerned that students don't overreact to news of the changes. The counselling department has scheduled a series of workshops with Ken Carpenter, assistant director of admissions at U/O, to answer students' questions about the changes. The workshops will be held March 12, in Center 8; April 7, in Math & Art 244; April 30, in Center 8; and May 17, location to be announced.

The modules are akindof"map"that guide your study through the unit. However, this "map" is 310 pages long! The modules come in a packet provided by the nursing department. They tell us what sections of our books we need to read, what videos we need to see, and what information we need to know for the test (the objective questions). This is where the "module groups" come in. Groups of students can work as a team to answer the objective questions. The answers are shared by the group. This way, if you don"t complete all the reading, you will still be prepared for the tests. In addition, there are copies of completed modules from previous years available to students who wish to copy them. This was the route my group chose to take. The module group I was in had 16 students (I've been told the ideal number is somewhere around 8). We each paid $40 to copy a previous year's modules to use as a backup (I didn't learn until later that a lot of unnecessary info had been copied assignments, questions - not just the answers, which probably cost -me the greater portion of that $40!). Our group leader assigned-questions from each unit for the students to answer. We were supposed to check our answers with the answers already provided in the copied module, and notify the group in writing if we disagreed. This system may work for some people, but it didn't work for me. It was expensive making all those copies, it created a lot of extra p·aper to keep track of, and I wound up doing most of the reading anyway - mainly because the answers from the previous year's modules we used were just photocopied sections of the pertinent text from our books. What I was looking for was an analysis of the reading that would simplify what I needed to know. I dropped out of my group after about two weeks, and I did fine on my own. But I still think module groups are a good idea, especially if you have a lot of commitments Uob, family) that will break into your study time. My advice would be to keep your group to a maximum of 10 people, and if you do decide to use a previous year's modules, try to find one that will cut down on the reading, and the paper you will have to shuffle. There's enough of that anyway! We had two orientation days. The first day we were clued in on how to register (we were also hoping to get a head start on our modules, but they weren't back from the printers until the first day of school). The second day we broke off into our clinical groups of 10 students each. We had group pictures taken to hang on the wall in the nursing lab, which made it easier to connect names to faces. Our instructors answered questions, told us what hospital unit we'd be working on, and what to expect regarding study time, skills evaluation, and tests. We played some "break the ice" games, and had a bunch of prizes. My instructor, Sharon Wendell, gave us a brief autobiography, and we were required to do the same. In fact, for the duration of the term, all students were required to keep a written journal of their experiences that was handed in every week. The length of each entry was up to us - we could write a sentence, or a page. One of the things that struck me was how friendly everyone on the staff was. I had felt like an "outsider" for so long, it was great to be welcomed with opened arms. There was a camaraderie among the students, and I was surprised at how many of them I didn't recognize. I was sure I would know everybodyat least by face. We had all been through it, and we made it. We had the same goal, and it enhanced the enthusiasm we felt for the task ahead. It was a very positive beginning. Next issue (Spring term): an interview with Carmel DeCroos, first year instructor.
