-Lane Community College- E April 23, 1993 Eugene, Oregon Volume 28, Issue 22 Community colleges face triple threat funding cuts BY ANGELO VERNA staff writer Already faced with Governor Robert's proposal to cut $25 million in state-wide community college funding, the House of Representatives now seeks to reduce the amount by an additional $15 million. LCC is expected to lose $1.7 million dollars in funding for the '93-95 biennium and with the House proposal, the amount may exceed $3.7 million, says College President Jerry Moskus. A third, and worst case scenario, would be losing an additional $2.2 million in additional funding from the Oregon Lottery Association, bringing the total to more than $5.9 million in cuts over the next two years, a move that appears unlikely, but possible, says Moskus. The unexpected move by the House leaves LCC wondering what its next move will be if two, or all three measures pass. Anticipating passage of Robert's initiative, LCC trimmed $1. 7 million from next year's budget. If the House proposal or lottery funding disappears, LCC will make those cuts in the '94-95 school year, says Moskus. "If both the House and Governor's proposal pass, we would face additional cuts totaling $2.7 million in the year after next, a budget deficit that would have to be made up somewhere," Moskus continued. Last December, LCC's Executive Cabinet announced $1.1 million 'in proposed budget cuts. Coupled with the recent decision to increase the general fees by $2, LCC managed to make up the $1.7 million anticipated shortfall. Moskus says the process for deciding the budget cuts to be made in the "9495 school year will begin after definite decisions on the proposals from the state government. No decisions about what programs or positions to cut have been made, he said. When asked if, rather than cut programs, staff, administration or Moskus himself would be willing to take a pay cut first, he replied, "We haven't ruled that out, but I don't think that would be our major focus." "We 're going to have to look at programs, services and everything we have to offer here," he said. "The difficult thing is we've already done that. There's nothing left that any of us want to see reduced any further." Asked about the long-range future of LCC, Moskus replied, "We 're going to have to go through some changes and what we have to do, as a college, is rethink what we 're doing and try to continue to provide good service and high quality education with what we have." On to Linn-Benton LCC President Jerry Moskus summed up the "Roads to Opportunity" celebrations when he said, "150 years ago the Oregon Trail was a road to opportuntiy for people seking a better f~rture. Oreg~n today is still a land of opportunity but you need an e~uc,?tion to benefit from that opportunity• Community colleges have become the new roads to opportunity. ASLCC President John Mitchell carried the "Roads t~ opportunity" flag to Linn-Benton CC aboard an LCC Flight Tech program helicopter. Board of Education votes 5-1 to raise tuition $2 per credit ■Board approves only one of the three ballot measures proposed by the ASLCC Senate. During May elections, students will vote on a proposal to raise fees $6 to fund primary care for Student Health Services. BY SONJA TAYLOR editor LCC will raise tuition$2 per credit beginning Summer Term 1993. The Board of Education voted5-l to raise tuition at its April 19 meeting. Board member Larry Mann voted against the motion, saying he felt a $3 raise was in order in light of the legislature's proposed additional $15 million cut in community college funding. Boatd member Peter Sorenson reminded the board that state budget cuts are only proposals at present. After further discussion the board decided to stay with a $2 raise, although it may revisit the issue in the future. Rep. Cynthia Wooten, DEugene, a guest at the meeting, said the proposed $15 million cut is part of a "coffee bill"(a bill that is put together behind closed doors). Wooten said that the legislature might pass the bill and urged students to actively present their opposing postilions to the legislature. "Students need to get more involved at Salem. They need to present a more interactive and dynamic view," she said. "If Oregon gets to 1995 without significant tax reform, the state is going to hemorrage," Wooten continued Student ballot measures The board examined four but approved only one of the ballot measures authorized by the ASLCC Senate for the May student body elections. The board voted to approve Ballot Measure 1, which asks students if they will allow a$6 increase in studentfees to fund primary care for the Student Health Service. The question of students fund- ing primary care came about after the board voted to eliminate such care from the general fund·at its Feb. 10 meeting. However, the board did not approve the other three measures. Those measures proposed to ask students if they would like to: • Reduce the current fee allocated to the ASLCC Childcare Co-op from $5 to $3. • Reduce the mandatory student fee allocated to the ASLCC discretionary budget from $5 to $3. • Make the $2 per term mandatory student fee for OSPIRG optional.

April 23, 1993 Letters to the Editor ASLCC President encourages student involvement To the Editor, In my opinion, the actions of the senate members who don't meet their own by-law requirements, is not a very good way for the student government to show the student body they are accountable. The student government is elected to be a governing body. When they don't abide by their own laws, who are they representing? What are they representing? I guess that these senate members think that the by-laws are good for the students but that doesn't mean that they have to answer them because their in government and that gives them a visa. If the new government has to accept these as their laws until they can fix them, why does this senate think that they don't have to fix them? When these laws were ratified, they were to become effective now that day. So, that means, since the officers are unable to access the GPA's, how long were these senators not complying to the laws that . they said are the rules to govern the government? These so called laws are in effect for the new campaigners, in which, a lot had to withdraw from the race because of not meeting the GPA requirements that these senate members don't meet. I don't understand why the student body is letting this happen. I'm saying this as a student, I think that if the senate is not going to uphold the laws, that they should lift the law from the election. What do you think? Tell them!

In particular, those four members who are blatantly violating the very by-laws they helped put into effect! Holding other students to these rules, but not yourselves?? NOT!! Double Standards? YES! Hypocrisy? YES! I have come to doubt the ethical and moral fiber of these individuals and ·the stall tactics of the majority of the Senate in not even addressing this issue! I am finding it very difficult to take grievances (this is my job!) from students and not being able to convince the senate that there is a concern from the student body. I am very interested in seeing the future conduct of these individuals, and so will the student body. Well, now that I've vented, I would like to wish the student body good grades and easy teachers, and rest assured that I am here to listen to your concerns. DJ. Holbrook Vice President, ASLCC Student Government Elitist To the Editor, Student government should not have the option of disregarding the bylaws which are supposed to govern them. Unfortunately the student body government here at LCC fails to recognize this. They give every indication of believing that they are an elitist group who not only writes their own rules, but has the option of disregarding the rules at will. There are four senate members who do not have the minimum required GPA to be part of student government. One of these senators has missed well over half of the meetings siQce the early part of winter term. At the last senate meeting they were supposed to go into executive session to address these issues, but because of maneuvering on the part of senate-members, they were unable to do so. When informed of the situation, one cabinet member's response was, "Who cares?" The student body cares. The senate does not have the right to hold prospective senate members to a standard that they themselves do not feel accountable to. The student body government as it is nothing but an elitist, hypocritical, fraudulent organization. If they cannot abide _by the by-laws , they should resign, and if they won't, this student government should be dissolved for incompetence and fraud. The student body here at LCC deserves much better than what they are getting. If this government doesn't feel accountable to the student body, they should not be allowed to soak the student body for money every term. Trev Mostella Physical Education Disillusioned with Board of Education To the Editor, As a Student Senator at Lane Community College, I am profoundly disillusioned with the LCC Board of Education. Several weeks ago, the Student Government responded to the Board's recommendation to cut the Student Health Service (SHS) by introducing a trio of referendums that would have given the students the opportunity to fund the SHS by the reallocation of current student fees. The ensuing volley of protests from campus special interest groups resulted in the stressinduced forced resignation of the Student Government President and the withdrawal of the referendums. In another attempt to rescue the illfated SHS, the Student Government crafted a new series of referendums that would retain the SHS but also offered the possibility of keeping the student fees at a static level by the reduction offees devoted to other programs. This package was submitted to the Board for approval in accordance with procedure. The Board is responsible to ensure that no college or student government procedures were violated during the referendum process. The Board determined that no violations had occurred. But they didn't stop there. Each board member probed the content of each measure, rejecting those that were in conflict with their personal ideologies. Only Larry Mann and Roger Hall seem to have an understanding of the Board's role in April 23, 1993 such matters. The students' right to vote was effectively revoked on three of the four measures presented. The one exception was the measure that would increase student fees to save the SHS. The message: Students may choose to saddle themselves with additional fees but may not reduce or eliminate .fees imposed by previous student bodys. My message to the Board: Learn you responsibilities. Don't micromanage. LCC students are adults capable of making intelligent decisions for themselves. Allowing the addition of new student fees while forbidding the reduction of current fees will only make LCC education less affordable.

All names that appeared on the Student Records list were printed in The Torch. The Torch suggests that you check with Student Records to find out why your name was left off the list. Students support Jones/Vidos ticket To the Editor, Thank you for your editorial last week; in a few paragraphs you summed up the entire ASLCC government for last year. A year after their elections 3 our student government hasn't led, followed or gotten out of the way. So this year LCC students will be requested to vote themselves higher student fees and yet our student government hasn't spent our past fees appropriated to the ASLCC. Ask any of the students on campus how student government spent your money last year. Most likely they couldn't tell you. In this -season of governmental change, the change needs to occur on our campus. I want to encourage my fellow students to write in JonesNidos as President and Vice-President of ASLCC student government. I know Vincent Jones and know Vince to be a . strong force for student programs, like the child-care co-op. Vincent has courage to take a well thought out stand and stick to it. Student government needs to take a new direction; write-in Vincent Jones and Tamara Vidos Phillip Hudspeth, Political Science To the Editor, We are going to be a very open and out-reaching student government: I feel that I can work with Vincent Jones since he has been committed to this college for several years, and truly cares about all the studep.ts' interest instead of his own. He is really looking to a long-term commitment, working right along with the cabinet members and Senators.

Shaun Ohran Economics News April 23, 1993 4 Four Senate memb-ers no longer qualified BY LARRY HAFfL associate editor The ASLCC Senate has decided to delay responding to allegations that four Senate members are no longer academically qualified to hold office. The Senate delayed taking action at its April 20 meeting despite strong urging by ASLCC Vice President D.J. Holbrook that the Senate address the matter immediately. At the April 13 Senate meeting, The Torch notified the Senate of allegations that four members of the Senate no longer have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or better, as required bytherecentlyamendedASLCCBy-laws.ASLCCPresident John Mitchell then stated_that the Senate Judiciary Committee would investigate and the Senate would resolve the issue in an executive session on April 20. Following the April 13 meeting, Student Activities Director Barbara Delansky confirmed to The Torch that four of the current Senate members do indeed have cumulative GPAs below 2.75. Delansky was unable to release their names at that time because it was unclear if college policy gave her authority to do so. Mitchell and Holbrook urged the Senate to conduct the executive session before the regular open meeting, but the Senate chose to schedule it afterwards. Senate meetings normally take about two hours, but after three hours, the Senate adjourned even though it hadn't ·addressed several agenda items, including the executive session. Other business conducted During officer reports, Holbrook informed the Senate that the LCC Board of Education had.only approved one of the four Senate proposed ballot measures for inclusion on the up-coming student government election ballot. The measure proposing a $6 increase in student fees to fund the Student Health Service was approved. The Board rejected measures related to Child Care Co-op, student government discretionary and partial OSPIRG funding. The Senate approved the following funding requests: •Denali Finale celebration; $730 •Lane Jazz Ensemble trip; $605 •Latino Club Fiesta support; $250 •Legal Student Club expenses; $112 •Additional subsidy for students with children in the Early Childhood Education program; $3100 Funding requests for construction of volleyball sand courts, expense unknown, and purchase of a FAX machine for student use, $2195, were tabled for one week.

Arts & Entertainment 8 April 23, 1993 Studio aides from art department display talent BY LUKE STRAHOTA arts & entertainment editor Three Art Department studio aides who work as teaching assistants will gain recognition for their own talents this month. On April 26 through May 14, these assistants will present their personal works in an exhibit at the LCC Art Department Gallery. GARY STANFIELD sculpture "My purpose for doing sculpture is totally selfish - - no statement, no philosophy, pure hedonistic pleasure," is part of Stanfield's description for the exhibit. A studio artist for many years, Stanfield explains that even though he's in the business of selling art, he's always done art for himself. When commissioned to create specific pieces, he says he feels like he's "only a technician," producing something for someone which must meet their standards. When he does the work for himself, he doesn't care what people think about it. "If people think enough to buy it, that's fine. If not, that's okay. I have a whole house full of stuff that doesn't sell that I like," says Stanfield. Even though his part of the show will contain a total of 11 pieces, it represents a small part of his art, says Stanfield. Many of the works featured are figurative, fabricated out of a mixed media - - glass, bronze, paint, and steel. His other art consists of representational pieces, primarily horses, because of the notoriety he has received in the Southern states with his horse figures. Far left: Gary Stanfield's untitled sculpture made of stone, bronze, and steel. Above: "Pins" made by Lynn Wysocky consistIng of silver, plume agate, and moldavite.

After finishing the program, he earned his studio assistant job. "Ifeel very fortunate to be in the position I am. When I was laid off, I opted to take an early retirement. With that and a few investments, my wife and I live as comfortably as you can nowa-days. I'm happy that I could take something that for many people was very devastating and put myself in a position where I could take full advantage of what is offered and surround myself with what I love to do - make art," says Wilson.

Counseling hiring recruits BY GARY HANIUK staff writer The Counseling Department is looking for students to train service associates for next fall. The Counseling Department each year hires 20 students to work for counseling," says Poole." They supply direct services to other students." The students will work at the Career Information Center, supplying students with information, or they may work in Study Skills where they help students imprqve on their reading and writing. "Sometimes we have students working at LCC downtown," says Poole. "Actually we have them working for us all the time," says Poole," simply by people knowing who they are, our associates can get the student to the referrals they need." Every year in April, Poole is looking for new recruits for the next year. "I hire in May and we train, at the end of finals week in June," says Poole. "We do a retreat at the coast at Heceta House, which is pretty wonderful." • "In early September we do some more training, giving the Associates the skills that they'll need to know to do the job," say Poole. "And the month of September is a heavy work time for the associates; just like it is for the counselors, because we 're getting things going around . here." "I look for students who enjoy working with people, and who like to be helpful," says Poole. "Also people who like to work as members of a team, because it's very much a team. They coordinate and work together real well." Poole says the training continues though the year and they meet once a week throughout the whole year. The Associates do various kinds ofjobs that will make the whole experience worth it. "It's a paid position," says Poole. "We hire in two ways. I have enough money- that's col- • lege money, to hire half as many people as I need, so I can hire half of them on hard money (that's school money), the other half comes from Work Study." Poole says she usually gets about 40 to 50 applications, and ends up hiring up to many as 20 Associates. Some are carry overs from the previous year. "The deadline for the applications to be in is May 3. The applications can be picked up either at the Counseling Information center, at Julia Poole's office located on the fourth floor, Room450B.

The Administration, sttl'dent body, even people in the community are excited that LCC is offering a class in the music of Africa, Asia and Native America. ''Taking time to understand and appreciate a musical tradition we normally don't hear on the radio or in concerts speaks to a respect for another people. It says 'I like your music and your traditions so I think I can accept you on a more fundamental level now.' "I believe in the long run we build a lot more bridges between people the more classes like this one we have. It's time for society at large to acknowledge that every culture has a valid musical system, often more than one, and that to appreciate this is to become more of a whole person."· The day The Torch visited the class over half of the students stayed after class to continue drumming.

BY MICHAEL GOODWIN staff writer LCC kicked off its Oregon Trail Commemoration last Friday, April 16, with a slide presentation about life on the trail, a covered wagon memorabilia exhibit, folk dancing, and an outdoor cookout featuring buffalo burgers.
