Of the 500 copies of "Our Wagon Train is Lost," the college
reprinted 170 are left, according to project coordinator and auth~x
Pete Peterson.
"If we sell them all we could make over $2000 to help cover
pre-production costs of the main stage play about the same Oregon
Trail story," he said.
Over the last two years Peterson, an LCC journalism instructor,
has worked on the transformation of his book into a play which will
celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail. The project has
received money from a variety of sources, including ASLCC.
According to Peterson the money, both donated and raised, will /
pay for materials such as maps, costume rentals and display panels /
as well as the costs incurred from buying and processing both slide
and 16 mm film.
The entire project will include the efforts of students and staff,
members from several departments-primarily the Media Arts and
Technology and Preforming Arts departments.
When performed on ~tage the final product will include five
main actors who will do interpretive readings, says Peterson. He

Is a group buS pass
the answer to LCC''s
. parking problem?
Would you like to buy a parldng space?
Just ask that question to any of the students trying to park their cars and
make it to class on time the first week of spring term. Judging from the
scarcity of such golden offerings from the Parking God, the answer would
undoubtedly be a resounding "YES!"
The first day of school saw every parldng lot filled (yes even the gravel
and grass semi-flat pastures). Students parlced their cars on the sides of the
roads, or any other empty space they could find.
There is a way to avoid the fight for a place to park. Ride the bus.
Although LTD does not offer service to those students who live in such
faraway places as Cottage Grove,
there are several bus routes •
available to students living in

pass have been, off and on for the
last several years. Perhaps this
year's ASLCC Senate will make some headway.
Earlier this year The Torch ~an a pro/con commentary on the issue of a
group bus pass. It pointed out that negotiations stopped when LTD wouldn't
lower its offer of $8.67 per student per term. Arguments in favor of a group
bus pass were that $8.67 per term is less thart the cost of filling up a gas tank
once and that students should be given a choice of whether or not they wish
to pay that amount in extra fees each term in exchange.
.
Those who oppose the idea argued that the proposed group pass would
be a $250,CXX) per year gift to LTD, "taken from the pockets of LCC
students.
If you as a student are concerned about the parlcing problem or ride the
bus and would like to use a group bus pass, attend weekly Senate meetings
and ask what is being done or could be done to improve the parking problem or to create a group pass. If you live near a bus route, put away your car
keys. Purchase a temi pass, and ride the bus -it's less expensive than
driving your own car.
Perhaps a group bus pass is not the answer. Even so, LCC and the ,
ASLCC need to deal with the issue. Due to extensive budget cuts in education more students will be attending community colleges as the costs at
universities rise. Those students will need a place to parlc or a place to sit on
the bus. While the college looks for ways to trim the budget, and students
scramble to find a new way to fund primary health care, someone needs to
give a thought to the question, how will students get to school?

Former student
praises LCC
To the Editor,
What a surprise to walk into a
reading room and find the Torch, here
at the University ofidaho! Seeing a
touch of Oregon, (or part of it) is
enough to make a former LCC student
homesick.
Since leaving LCC, I have gained
valuable work ethics that allow me to
keep up with the heavy work load of
this university. It is sad that the U of 0
has had to cut their program for Comm.
majors. If they hadn't people like me
would not have to leave the state. Idaho
has a very good Communications
program here and I'm glad that I made
the decision to transfer.
I would also like to thank (again)
everyone I came ·in contact with on
campus for the great, (and the not so
great) memories of attending Lane.

OSPIRG urges action
on hunger problem
To the Editor,
As the sun starts to shine and
spring fever comes full swing it's easy
to forget all our troubles ... or to help
SOLVE them! Two of the most impending issues in America are hunger
and homelessness. The United States is
one of the wealthiest nations in the
world, yet over three million Americans are homeless, over two thousand
of which live in Lane County! As we
have seen with the "parking lot shelter"
and Armitage park, homelessness is an
issue that we cannot afford to be
ignored even in our own small community.
We have entered a global era in
which we must respond to the world we
created, be it the social, environmental
or consumer issues. The United States
can produce enough food to feed the
world; so certainly we can figure out
how to feed the world. Every 40

seconds a hunger related death occurs.
One of the best ways to help be
part of solution is by participating in
the 9th Annual Hunger Cleanup, on
April 17th. Sponsored by OSPIRG, the
cleanup is a way in which students
from all across the country will be
joining together to fight hunger and
homelessness and beautify our community. It is a "work-a-thon", in which
volunteers spend a few hours cleaning
a playground, fixing up a homeless '
shelter or painting a food pantry,
raising funds and producing manpower.

goodbye
To the Editor,
The past 14 1/2 years have been
very rewarding as I have worked with
the students and staff throughout my
various positions at Lane Community
College. During the. nearly five years.I
have worked in the Vice President for
Student Services Office, I have had the
opportunity to work very closely with
the students. I really appreciate the
support I received durin,g the Fall
Welcome Week, Valley River Center,
etc. I appreciated the opportunity I had
to meet with the Student Government
during their retreat in June, to encourage their commitment to Fall Welcome,
and to let them know that we are here
to serve students. I feel the students are
my friends and have been there whenever we needed their help. I hope that
on occasion, I have been able to be of
assistance to the students. It has been a
wonderful relationship and one that I
will truly miss. As each of you continue with your education, please
always remember the good times you
had at Lane. I hope that I will be part of
the good memories. Like MacArthur, I
will return. Thanks again for all of your
support!

FORUM BY JoHN MITCHELL

ASLCC President

We, the Associated Students of the
Community Colleges of Oregon, are
deeply concerned with the proposed cuts
in higher education. Although we realize
that there is a major budget crisis in our
state, we do not feel that education is a
proper place to cut the budget. As we
move into the 21st century, the level of
educ~tion of the work force here in Oregon will be the determining factor in the
level of economic success that Oregon
will enjoy.
As our society becomes more
technologically advanced, the need for
an increasingly educated work force
will continue to grow. The only way to
meet this need is with higher education.
Along with every advancement in
technology there must be an equal

improvement in education. Without
this, we cannot keep up. Already,
businesses in Oregon are having some
difficulty in finding a work force that is
sufficiently educated without recruiting
from out of state. This is not an acceptable plan for the long-term success of
Oregon. Rather, we should be improving and advancing higher education of
Oregon, so that instead of Oregon
businesses going out of state to recruit
a more educated work force, businesses
from out of state should come to
Oregon to get the most educated work
force possible. In the long-term interest
of the state of Oregon and Oregonians,
this must be the goal that we strive for.
Much attention has been focused

Dislocated Workers Program evaluat.ed
BY MICHAEL GOODWIN
Mike Goodwin is a member of the Dislocated Worker Program as well as a
staff writer for.The Torch.
Due to misquotes and production errors The Torch is reprinting this article
which originally ran March 5, 1993.

The Dislocated Worker's
Program has received approximately $6.5 million since 1989
for retraining laid-off timber
industry workers at LCC and
now state and federal government funding sources are asking: "Does it Work?"
The success of the program
is now being documented for
review by the government, and
according to program coordinator Ellen Palmer, future funding
of the program is dependant on
whether new graduates find jobs
in the next few months.
This year will see the largest
graduating class since the program began. For these 300 students the value of the program
will be quickly evident, says
Palmer.
Once dislocated workers
leave the DWP they are financially on their own. Palmer says
that the extended unemployment
benefits that dislocated workers
, receive cease as soon as they
leave school.
The DWP has created a
marketing team to assist new
graduates to find work. Palmer
says that it has a two-fold purpose: to help the dislocated
workers develop a mind-set that
enables them to sell themselves
to prospective employers, and to
inform the business community,
state-wide that these people are
available for work.
Palmer says she doesn't
know if jobs are going to be
available in the local economy
for the new graduates. The
marketing team will determine
job prospects based upon
analysis done by the state employment division.
She adds that the DWP is
anticipating other challenges
because the business community
as a whole may be skeptical about
people who have been through
"programs".

SUPPO RT continued from page 2
on the budget difficulties being
faced by universities throughout the state. Although this
should be of serious concern to
Oregonians, very little attention
has been focused on the plight
of Oregon community colleges.
With the rising cost of education in the university setting,
more and more Oregonians are
being forced by financial
restraints to attend community
colleges, at least for a part of
their college education. While
we welcome this challenge, it
has created difficulties that
need to be addressed. With an
increasing enrollment, along
with shrinking financial
resources, the community
colleges in Oregon are being
faced with a major dilemma.
We try to provide a high quality
education to an ever increasing
number of students, and a
continually shrinking budget
makes this more difficult every
term.
As the price of a university
education goes up, and universities continue to be forced to
reduce enrollment, students are

being forced to attend community colleges. We have the
schools and the programs to
provide the education that
Oregonians need, but we need
the support of our elected
officials. To maintain the
viability of Oregon's work
force, we must keep education
available to the average citizen.
Without education, the high
paying jobs of the 21st century
will locate elsewhere, and
Oregonians will be regulated to
service industry jobs. As our
elected officials, we ask of you
not to let this happen. For the
sake of the future, we must
attract the high paying jobs of
the 21st century. To do this,-we
must have a higher educational
system that is second to none.
This is what the state needs,
and together, our elected
officials along with students of
the state, we can achieve this
goal. To do otherwise is simply
not acceptable. Thank you for
your time and your efforts on
the behalf of the 400,000 voting
Community College students of
Oregon.

Concert marks dancer's maturity
BY STEVE TRIST ANO
staff writer

Sheila San Nicholas, who
has studied dance at LCC since
1982, is the director and choreographer of "Taking Space," a
dance concert opening at the Hult
Center April 9.
San Nicholas considers this
performance as an event which
marks her maturity and debµt as
an independent artist.
The show contains original
works choreographed by San
Nicholas ranging in style from
jazz to modem. Her dancers include former and current LCC
students and faculty. Besides
Nicholas, those who will perform
are Catherine Arnold, Kimme
Boehland, Cara Haakanson,
Carolyn Hewitt, Sarah Hudelson,
Catherine Jenkins, Tanja Jensen,
Melissa Landis, Jenni Morrow,
Kamala Sanders, and Darrel
Shaft. ,
For several years, San Nicholas' life-long study of dance
took a back burner position while
making a living as a hairdresser.
She says she was attracted to the
LCC dance department by the
relaxed and nurturing atmosphere and by the encouragement of dance director Mary
Seeriter. She attributes much of
her growth as a professional
choreographer and dancer to
Seeriter.

Hopes where high as the
Titan women 's basketball team
left school to travel to Mount ·
Vernon, Wash. to be the first
woman's team to represent LCC
at the NWAACC basketball
championship. When the threeday tournament was finished,
the Lady Titans managed to
capture fifth place.
In their opening round game
the Titans took on number two
ranked Pierce Community College. The Titans jumped out to a
15-point lead in the first half.
Tliey went into the lockerroom
with a 12-point lead.
The Titans continued to
hold their big lead for most of
the second half and ended the
game to open the tournament
with a victory 80-66. The win
put Lane into the semi-finals
and gave them the opportunity
to play Skagit Valley, whose
only loss of the year was to
LCC.
In their second round game,
the Titans came up against an
inspired Skagit Valley team.
SVC was playing on their home
floor and had a packed gym with
all but a handful of spectators
supporting them. LCC had
trouble from the start. The
threesome of freshman Sarah
Schaan and sophomores Margaret Hayenga and Jill Graves,
who had been used to dominating their opponents inside and
on the boards, had a tough time

SATQKQ continued from page 5
Primarily done with acrylic,
water colors, charcoal pencil,
and pastels, all works differentiate from each other in feeling,
depending on which medium is
used. A sense of darkness falls
on the acrylics while bright, abstract images float throughout
the water colors. Charcoal
drawings consist of soft, warm
images in black and white which
contrasts the detailed, cheerful
colored pastels.
Many pieces consist of
moonlit rooms. Okito says she
prefers the night because it's a
time of reflecting on yourself
and . psychologically gives
people time to break away and
calm themselves from the daytime.
"During the day, everything
has a certain color, but at night
there's much more freedom with
fading lights and lights surrounded by darkness," says
Okito.
As an instructor of Oriental
Art History, a majority of her
work shows hints of Oriental
influence. Many images are
painted out of proportion. Floors

are presented as moving upward,
table tops and legs are presented
on the same plane, and images
are over simplified rather than
anatomically correct.
Since completing graduate
school at the University of Massachusetts in 1985, Okito's been
trying to get away from the influences she received in school
and return to her original style.
However, now she is using the
knowledge she learned to make
her own style better. She refers
to the experience she gained in
school as her "foundation."
"If you have a solid foundation, you have a home to go back
to when you 're lost. Once home,
you can start over again, and by
starting over again, you 're taking a higher step up. If you don't
have that foundation, you find
yourself going in circles, creating the same thing, not gaining
any knowledge to grow," says
Okito.
Okito's exhibit entitled
"Satoko" will run through April
23. A gallery talk will be held on
April 13 at 10 a.m., with a reception following at 11 :30 a.m.

At the April Fool's Day "Tacky Tie Contest" the Grand Prize Truly Tacky Tie Traveling
Trophy winner was Jim (Mr. E-coli) Wychules, Foodservice manager. Mr. E-coli also took back
to his cafe the Worst Creation Catagory Trophy.
Wychules claimed his tie's ingredients "came from remnants left in the walk-in refrigerator
by some of last year's Foodservice staff members." Among the appetizers were a tossed salad,
burger parts, wilted grapes, a Texas cockroach, his pet mouse,.a spider, "fresh" sliced tomatoes,
•
pepperocini, and lots of aged onion and garlic.
Marie Matson, assistant to the LCC President, took the Off-The-Racky Tacky Tie award for
a silk number. Sharon Hainley, Student Health clerk, swam away with the Best Coordinated
Outfit Trophy. She entered the competition wearing a complete wetsuit -- and of course a fishy
•
•
tie.
Judges for the tasteless event were last year's winner Pete Peterson, David Joyce, and a
slipper Slug Queen runner-up, Bonita Sluginsky. The mistress for this year's ceremony, Pat
Riggs.
