Senate votes to not
force resignations
BY LARRY HAFfL
associate editor

"Take a daughter to work day"
Counseling Specialist Ginger Yamamota shows her daughter Colleen
Yamamota 'the ropes' of counceling at LCC. Ginger shows Colleen how the
appointment book for scheduling students to see counselors works. "Take
a Daughter to Work Day" was a national event held Wednesday, April 28.

In a secret ballot, the ASLCC
Senate voted 6-3 not to force the
resignation of four Senate members whose cumulative GPAs no
longer meet the required 2.75
minimum. At least some of those
four members were present and
voted on the question.
The question was discussed
by the Senate during a 90 minute
closed executive session which
preceded the April 27 meeting.
The vote was the first item on the
regular meeting's agenda.
Since there was no discussion in the open session, the
reasons for not forcing the resignations went unspecified.
Following the vote, ASLCC
President John Mitchell referred
the matter to the Senate Judiciary
Committee, " ... for further review".
The meeting was then
opened for public input on proposed changes to the ASLCC
By-Laws. Several members of
the gallery spoke against the
proposed amendment to conduct
elections dealing with student
fees by mail-in ballot.
Joelle Cacciatore, LCC student and OSPIRG organizer, said

OSPIRG has learned that the
University of California at
Berkeley's recent experiment
with mail-in elections resulted
in a drop from 25 percent student participation to only 4 percent student participation. As a
result, UC Berkeley has discontinued its mail-in election program.
Other students spoke against
changing the time allowed to
complete student originated petitions from five weeks to only
three weeks.
Following the public input
session, the Senate unanimously
approved the appointment of
Mishal Samman, Business major, as Senator to fill the seat left
vacant by the resignation of
Barry Waltz. Samman was the
only candidate who qualified to
fill the position at this time.
Mitchell also announced that
he has received the resignation
of Senator Keith Ball. There i
no time to fill this position before the end of the current
Senate's term.
In other business, the Senate approved the following pro-

Forensics team passionate and prepared

Clark Community College
of Vancouver, Wash. swept the
top awards for the Northwest
Community College Forensics
Championships held at Lane
April 23 and 24.
Forensics is the study and
practice of formal debate or argumentation. Nine teams vied
for trophies in three categories:
Best Washington state team,
best Oregon team, and top overall team.
Clarkcurrentlynumberone
in the country, took both the
Washington and overall categoriesduringthetwodayevent.
Clackamas CC garnered the best
Oregon team award.
Although Lane didn't fare
well as a team, LCC Instructor
andCoachBabaraBreadensays
that strong possibilities for future victories exist with some of
the younger team members.
"We're looking to rebuild
the team to the strength it has
had in the past," says Breaden.
''The students performed a bit

erratically, but when they were
on, they were on."
Lane team member Jennifer
Christensen, competing in her
first forensics competition,
missed becoming a finalist in
the editorial commentary portion of the event by one point.
Carrie Frye, who competed in
impromptu speaking, also
missed making the final round
by one point, as did Mike Riggs
in the informed speech portion
of the competition.
According to many debate
team members, personal satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment and overcoming the fear
of public speaking are paramount goals in their decision to
join the team.
"My goal is to feel more
comfortable and at ease when
speaking to more than one person at a time," explains Riggs.
"This program should be subtitled 'How not to flub up in
front of a group and earn college credit."'
Assistant Coach Dan Clark
echoedthesentimentsofLCC's

five member squad.
"The students who performed last week were passionate and prepared and are determined to go for personal growth
rather than just trophies. This is
a real self-enhancement process."
In conjunction with the
personal growth aspect, Breaden
also has plans to increase LCC 's
competitive edge next year.
"We 're planning to offer part or
full tuition waviers for those
who are interested in competing
next year. This is in addition to
the college credit they receive
for becoming involved."
Forensics members competed in 11 speaking categories
that include: informative, impromptu, sales, communication
analysis, extemporaneous and
editorial commentary. Oral interpretation events include
drama, programmed oral interpretation and duo interpretation.
Other Oregon community
colleges that participated included Clackamas, Mt. Hood,
and Portland CC.

Candidates questioned on goals and objectives
The following questions were asked of all candidates for President and Vice President:

1. How do you plan to disburse the $200,000 plus discretionary funding the ASLCC Senate will receive next year?
2. Do you hope to run the Senate using Parliamentary Procedure or Consensus?
3. Do you support proportional representation as it is stated in the Voters Pamphlet?

1. Johnson: "To network with (Student Activities
Director) Barbara Delansky. She already has a budgetary
plan where a certain amount of money is given ... she says
that during retreat that we look at issues at hand and that she
has a program on her computer that's set up to allot a
certain amount of money for ASLCC travel, to allot a
certain amount of money for the Multi Cultural Department, and so ori and so forth ... and we would look at the
money that we have in excess ... "
Cheeseman: "We'd also like to address money especially towards the bigger issues - - such as childcare and
health care. We also want to address maybe as in the
Ballroom Club or even fun events for the students out there
like Roads to Opportunity."

1. Jones: "First of all, that's student savings - $60,000
from the year before and the remainder from this year,
primarily that came from the fact that we haven't seen
virtually any real events ... MLK celebration was a token
effort this year. If we want to have a savings we can build
toward bigger projects. One, it's been tossed around for at
least close to a dozen years, having a student union on
campus. I was serving on that committee two years ago,
(surveying) the lack of study space ... any place on this
campus that was really quiet at least during courses.
Conference rooms and meeting rooms for both faculty and
students. We know that there are some departments that
are going through reshuffling so there's apotential for extra
space and it's not impossible that the $200,000 might be a
start-up for a large project like that I don't have a set
agenda - I'm comfortable with keeping that as a savings

John Mitchell

Johnson: "My concern is that right now our meetings
are running over three hours. And the gallery comments
are scrutinized for time, and yet none of us are in our
(senate) reports or in our proposals. I think that it's
important to run a meeting in a functional manner. But I
also think it's important that you have student input. and

2. Jones: "I've been on campus for over four years and

committee decides we 're going to have to spend it on. The
first year that I was a senator, the budget allocations were
really inaccurate. I think that is because we didn't have the
paperwork or couldn't find the paperwork to see where
mistakes were made. This year we had the prior year's stuff
to look at and find out where to adjust. The Martin Luther

Letters to the Editor
Action demonstrates
candidate's attitude
To the Editor,

::::r:

Today I had the first test of my
personal political integrity. I approached
a staff member and asked for a contribution of 50 cents to $1 for my write-in
campaign for Cultural Director. The
instructor smiled and gave me a $5 bill.
When I told the instructor I would bring
back the change because one of the
concepts of my campaign is to accept
no contribution larger than $1, the response was "Useitifyouneedto."Ifelt
flattered that the individual held me in
high enough regard to want to contribute so much to my effort, and felt that it
must be because I had shown myself to
be intelligent and responsible. But my
posters clearly state that I do not accept
funds over the amount of $1 from any
person.
I started to question my policy and

think about what statement it was that I
was trying to make about myself as a
candidate, what principles the "maximum
contribution" idea represents. Obviously
the contributor had felt that my campaign
was deserving of more, and it would be
nice to have those funds to use. Should I
go around marking asterisks next to the
statement on my posters and writing in
rules for cases of exception? Of course
not. But I had to re-establish in my mind
just why it was I was adhering to that
policy. The most important reason I came
up with is that even though it would be
nice to have the extra money to use, it
would be extra. Sure, I could make bigger
posters, maybe even place a classified
add in The Torch. But why not stick to my
guns and utilize the letters column instead? I established the upward limit for
myself because I knew I could get the job
done with that amo~nt of funding. Why

6. Do you support the continued existence of
the LCC chapter
of OSPIRG
through the student activity fee
at an amount
which reflects $2
per student per
term?
7.Shallthe
ASLCC collect an
additional $6 per
student per term
to be allocated to
Student Health
Services? -

In other words, do you want
to continue paying $2 per student per term, approximately
$60,000 for three terms, to
OSPIRG?
The Torch editorial board is
split on this issue.
Those in favor feel that
OSPIRG is the only organization on campus aggressively
trying to address issues of recycling, pollution, consumerrights
and environmental awareness.
It provides an opportunity
to actively participate in campaigns that try to improve the

quality of life in our community. It also provides an educational opportunity in consumer
rights and anti-pollution techniques.
• Regardless of how effective it is, supporters believe that
OSPIRG should receive continued funding by student fees for
another three years.
Edi tori al board members
who do not favor this measure
raise the question of how
OSPIRG spends the $60,000 it
collects from LCC students each
year. They also question how

e~fective OSPIRG is in providing LCC students with value for
the money it receives.
Much of that money _goes
off campus. OSPIRG is not required to account for that money,
nor is it required to give full
financial disclosure on how
much money its professional
staff in Portland is paid.
Why can't OSPIRG function atLCC on less than$60,000
per year? Why can't more of
that money be spent locally?
We acknowledge that
OSPIRG did a better job com-

municating with students this
year than ever before. But was it
because OSPIRG was up for
funding renewal this year or because it is getting more organized? What is the likelihood
that it will not revert to less than
effective performance again?
• Those who do not support
this measure feel it's time to
take a serious look at how
OSPIRG uses the money it collects. It is time for OSPIRG,
like everyone else on this campus, to find ways to do more
with less.

The Torch editorial board
unanimously supports this measure. Vote YES on 7.
Over 60percent ofLCC students receive some form of financial aid. Student Health
Services is often the only form
of primary health care that many
LCC students can afford. It
provides a wide range of medical testing, counseling and as-

sistance at little or no cost to
students. Hundreds of students
use this vital service every
month.
But if this measure does not
pass all students will have to go
off-campus for their primary
health care, assuming they can
afford it.
Primary health care through
Student Health Services was

originally implemented in the
1970s by students using student
fees. At one point its funding
was taken over by administration. But now that the Board of
Education has chosen to no
longer fund this vital service we
believe it is appropriate that the
students take responsibility for
it once again.
At $6 per term, a student

will pay less in two years than
he/she would pay for one visit to
a doctor's office. Even students
who are fortunate enough to already have other forms of heal th
care funding will get their
money's worth because the
funding will insure that fully
qualified health care professionals are readily available to them
on-campus should the need arise.

8. Should the
ASLCC
Constitution be
ammended to
elect the Senate
by proportional
representation
and to appoint
the Executive
Cabinet from the
Senate?

What this amendment means
is that, if passed, future students
would not directly elect student
body officers and senators.
Instead, students would vote
foroneofseveral parties. When
the votes were counted, each
party would be given the number
of Senate seats approximately
equal to the percentage of total
votes it got in the election. Each
party that got one or more seats
would then fill those seats from
members of the party.
When all the seats were
filled, those Senators would decide who amongst themselves
would be president, vice president, etc.
The Torch editorial board is
also split on this issue.

Proponents of this measure
point out that this form of government is used successfully in
many parts of the world. They
state that where it is used voter
participation is higher than in
U.S. elections and that such
governments are more responsive to citizens' demands than
governments like the U.S. that
use the two party system.
Members of The Torch editorial board who favor this measure believe it would be an excellent educational opportunity
for students. It would give students first hand experience with
an alternate, viable form of government.

Sock hop prelude to ballroom dance extravaganza
BY SONJA TAYLOR

editor
Well, my baby and me wenl
out last Saturday night ...
Okay, so it was Friday.
Over 100 people danced to
'50's music at the LCC Sock Hop
on Friday April 23. Sponsored by
the LCC Ballroom club, tne
evening was filled with vintage
style.
Students from both LCC and
UO along with other members of
the community dressed to the hilt
in poodle skirts, saddle shoes,
jeans and T-shirts with rolled
sleeves. Some even dug up pairs
of horn rimmed eyeglasses.
LCC's main gym was transformed with streamers, balloons
and white Christmas lights. According to LCC student Annie
Ryan, the evening was, "lots of

fun ... I really enjoyed practicing
the steps I learned in class at a
community event"
Ryan is a student in LCC
instructor Nancy Anderson's Beginning Ballroom class. She says
that while she enjoys all the dances
she has learned, swing, "is definitelymy favorite." AtLCC's Sock
Hop, there was plenty of opportunity to practice swing.
Chewing gum was offered at
the door and participants later
competed in a bubble gum blowing contest. Hula hoops spun
around in time to the beat of the
music as the dancers attempted to
keep the plastic circles around
their waists.
According to Ballroom Club
president Kate McKinlay, more
fun is dancing Lane's way.
On May 21, the college will

host the LCC Ballroom Extravaganza. For the cost of $5 at the
door of LCC's main gym, students and members of the community are invited to enjoy two
amateur performances by local
dance group Elite Seat and an
OSU group and one professional
exhibition given by a couple from
Portland. These performers will
dance to the ballroom music of
Salem Big Band in its first Eugene appearance.
The ballroom bash begins at
8 p.m. and goes to midnight, so
even Cinderella can make it home
on time. Semi-formal attire is requested.

'Inner-body experience' master
fosters creative potential in all
BY LUKE STRAHOTA
arts & entertainment editor

On May 6 international mime
performer Samuel Avita) will
bring to LCC his personal philosophy that has helped people
from computer programmers to
actors find what he calls the
"genius" that is within the human
being.
The author, performer,
mime, and master of body language has developed what he
calls "Integrative Thinking," the
usage of mind and body to unleash the unlimited potential we
as humans possess.
"Many people have learned
from me because they have the
silent urge to discover their potential. I share with them what I
know to awaken their hidden
creativity. Once that is discovered through effort and honesty
and is practiced consciously,
they will witness a change that
makes them incredibly happy,"
Avital said in a phone interview
from Colorado on April 28.
In the late '50s, Avital studied mime, theater, movement,
dance and circus arts with preeminent mimes Marcel Marceau
and Jean Louis Barrault, among
others. He "graduated" from the
'University of Streets' in Paris.
It was there that Avital began the
discovery of the human body as
the "vehicle of the human experience."
"With the study of mime, I
found there was no written words.
Everything had to be done for
yourself. You had to make your
own costume, be your own director, and think up ideas your-

Review: 'Comic' play

Do you remember a time when America knew right from

the stage.

Lulu, portrayed with flair by Parks, is a '50s trickster in

and that means, on a relaxed system the chair, recognizing the

DJ 'The chair has the option
of running it (the senate meeting)
several different ways, I've
worked under Robert's Rules of

see the good and bad points of
both. If everyone on the senate is
on the same sheet of music, with

anything you want done. But, the
chair has the option under parli

truth that could turn out to be a
most interesting situation, I've
tried to get as much information
as I can. I don't really understand
it. It seems to me that a· lot of
people would be trying to get the
higher side of the power with the
most seats, the most representation.''
DJ: 'The only problem I see
with it is perhaps the people that
vote wouldn't give a totally accurate description of the population of the college, cause you still
have a majority of the students
that don't vote. But if they don't
vote, then bummer.
It would be interesting to vote

Presidential candidates share ideas and outlooks
Organization

BY DON REYNOLDS
staff writer

the biggest failure of current
student
government,
Cheeseman insists. "Too much
information is not reaching the
students," he says, "students
and faculty don't hear about
events like 'Roads to Opportunity' and cultural events."
Cheeseman, who will complete his associates degree in
computer programming in June,
is also working on a transfer
degree so he can study computer science at the UO. A firm
believer in physical eduacation,
he finds time to coach fifth grade
girls soccer now and will be
coaching sixth and seventh
grade boys football in the fall.
"I just want to tell everyone
to vote their conscience,"
Cheeseman says. "Last year
only 800 out of nine thousand
full time students voted. I want
to see students vote their conscience."

that the senate hasn't accomplished more. So, he and D.J.
Holbrook are running for 199394 President and Vice President.
Mitchell, 31, a carpenter by
trade, was injured and paralyzed
in a 1988 auto accident. After
several years of struggling with
and finally accepting the harsh
reality of his paralysis, he entered the Technical Drafting
Program at Lane inl992.
He became interested in
"political" issues.
"Everything I heard my first
term was that it didn't matter
what was going on in student
government because no one had
a voice in it anyway," says
Mitchell.
It was about that time that
Mitchell met then ASLCC
President Bill Hollingsworth,
who began gently twisting
Mitchell's arm to apply for an
open senate position. But as fate
would have it, before Mitchell
finished collecting the signatures to be appointed,
Hollingsworth's Vice President
resigned, and Hollingsworth
asked Mitchell to accept that
job. Within two months Mitchell
succeeded as president when
Hollingsworth himself resigned.
But if Mitchell was tentative
about the job, no one could tell.
"I already can see a change
in him from the first day," says
Senator Vida Ellins "John is relaxed, and I like the fact that he
gives plenty of opportunity to
people to express their thoughts
and views."
Mitchell says he wants
student government to be accountable to the students.:
"Representatives of the student
body should listen to what the
students say and act upon these
ideas and opinions, instead of
thinking that they (the student
senators) know what's best."
Among the ideas on
Mitchell's "wish list" is, "More
student involvement, by having
students serve on committees,
instead of just senators, because they're the ones who
should decide (on issues) affecting them."
And he says he wants to
return mandatory fees to the
programs, (Athletics and Early

Until the accident, Steve
Cheeseman thought he'd always
live on the East Coast. He only
thought of Eugene as the town
out West where he visited his
aunt and uncle.
Then tragedy struck: his
parents were killed in an automobile accident. Cheeseman,
who had just turned 10, moved
to Eugene with his sister.
Now, 11 years later, he's
buying a house here, working
on two degrees and running for
student body president.
Cheeseman, a sergeant in
the Army National Guard,
stresses that self-discipline, organization and leadership skills
are qualities thatdistinguishhim
from his opponents.

students and do what they want."
He says, speaking for the rest of
his independent running-mates.
"We're not like the old group."
Despite the fact that the
ASLCC recently impose new
restrictions on who may run for
office (school employees such
as Jones are barred) he is running anyway. Jones says he has
reason to believe that the new
laws were passed because of
him.

"I can tell you what I've
heard from people in the student government and this
involves both presidential
teams. . . they set it up so I
couldn't run."
Making his way across
campus, many voices pipe-up
to greet Jones as he passes. "Hi
Vince!" a girl calls from a table
in the cafeteria. Ask Jones' fellow foodservice workers where
he may be found and the whole
kitchen will begin to yell back
and forth and gather in groups
to speculate.
"Oh Vince! He's on vending today. He could be
anywhere ... Does anyone know
where Vince is?!" And so on.
Once you find him, you are
confronted with a well-spoken,
friendly man who appears to be
in his early thirties. Besides
working in the cafeteria, Jones
is a full-time student majoring
in international studies, with a
minor in business. He has been
affiliated with the college onand-off since 1987. Instrumental
in establishing the LCC childcare program, Jones also served
on the commission to try to institute an LCC bus pass. In
addition, he has worked in student records, photo I.D., and
student admissions. "I'm kind
of a workaholic." he says.
"It's politics as usual,"
Jones says of the election
posters this week, "Slogans
don't mean a whole lot to the
average student."
Yet he '11 display his own
posters and buttons near the time
of the election. A self-described
"comprehensive planner" Jones
claims to be as concerned with
the practicality of a project as he
is with the overall picture. For
instance, a proposed football
stadium at LCC might be all
well and good, he says, will the
stadium be able to pay for it- ,
self?
In the end, according to
Jones, he is the "only real
choice" to resolve issues such
as these and be ASLCC President.
