New class teaches 'people skills'
BY ARLENE HOUGLAND
staff writer

LCC's Human Development department
will offer a new class starting Spring term
entitled Human Relations at Work. 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. For more information contact

the loan after getting out of college. 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.

Guest Commentary

Editorial

by Jesse Remer, OSPIRG Chapter Chair

'Son of 5' presents the potential
for more cuts in education
Are Oregon's students facing
another obstacle on the road to
adequate education?
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.

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). Barton said he doesn't
consider benefit concerts a reli-

Proc~eds from reprinting of book to help

BY DAVID SMITH

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

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.

LCC workstudy employees Maria Paladino, Cheri

Outstanding student
employees selected
BY ARLENE HOUGLAND
staff writer

A selection committee has
chosen four students to receive
the Outstanding Student Employee of the Month award for
fall term. 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. Buck, an accounting
major who works as an administrative clerk in the business

Folk duo featured in concert to benefit KLCC
BY LUKE STRAHOTA
arts &: entertainment editor

Listeners of KLCC have
praised it for its ongoing commitment to providing a wider
spectrum of folk music as compared to other local radio stations. 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.
In addition to their stage
performance, the Williamses

In addition to performing,
LDT will be attending dance
related classes with other dancers from Northwest universities.
Out of 23 participating
schools LCC is the only community college to attend the event.
The other 22 dance groups represent universities.
"The goal .is not to win, but

rather to be part of the process,
to develop a broader awareness
and reputation for the LCC dance
program, and allow students to
interact with students in other
dance programs," says Seerieter.
This event is sponsored by
ASLCC, LDT, and student dance
class fees. LDT has also used
money raised from bake sales,
performances and rummages
sales to make the trip possible.

But the team was beginning to tire,

According to Boutin, the team just
didn't have the athletes to compete with
the likes of Chemeketa.
"Tracy Snyder, Jon Rider and Marc

Chemeketa," Boutin said. "If only a few

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-

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.

Dressed in jeans
and a cotton pullover,
19-year-old Emiko
Sekiguchi looks every
inch the typical college student. But, she
has one major difference.
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. Although
she played the electrical organ at

exponentially."
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.

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. "If it
weren't for the scholarship I
couldn't be here," she says.

partment was the first to implement changes in course con•tent; other departments plan to make similar changes beginning fall term, 1993. 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. All workshops will begin at 1 p.m.

Nursing module groups
map program units
•
BY RONNIE JOHNSON
for the Torch

Last week, I mentioned that
the first term's work is divided·
into ten units, which are then
subdivided into "modules." 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.
