ticket and who took time from their busy lives
to vote. We will strive to live up to their expectations and look forward to working with the
Senate."
"Ifeel good that we played by the rules and
ran a clean campaign," said Johnson. "We stood
for what we really believe, what we think we
can accomplish on this campus and we believe
that the clean campaign paid off."
One of the first issues they want to address
is a cleanup of the ASLCC By-Laws. "We need
to get into our By-Laws. Too many of them are

$1.9 million available for
student housing subsidies
BY SONJA TAYLOR

editor

Linda Fossen, vice president of student services, along with a task force
made up of LCC faculty members have
been researching ways to use $1.9 million for affordable student housing.
Last fall, Attorney General Charles S.
Crookham announced that a lawsuit filed
two years ago against two men who built
low cost LCC endorsed housing in 1972
had been settled.
The men agreed to pay $10.5 million
to LCC and four other Oregon colleges.
LCC 's portion of the agreement,
$1,968,750, is scheduled to be disbursed to
the college over the next five years. The
court specified that the monies go toward
student rent stipends or to construct new
affordable housing for students.
At the April 19 Board of Education
meeting Fossen presented three proposals
to the board and inquired if the board
members thought the task force was "going
in the right direction."
The Ashlane Task Force's three proposals are: to set up rent stipends for students, to build affordable low cost housing
or both.
A proposal submitted by Terry
McDonald, a member of the St. Vincent de
Paul Society, outlines a plan to issue bonds
under the auspices of the Oregon State
Housing Division because, according to a
memo he submitted to the board, it would
have greater capacity to secure bonds. This

strategy is designed to generate immediate
revenue and results rather than waiting for
funds to accumulate. This money would be
used to build low cost h,ousing for students
in the near future.
A second proposal submitted by John
Chylek, of Catholic Community Services,
and Joe Fanner, Director of the LCC
Foundation, described a plan to create
stipends for students with financial need.
Farmer and Chylek suggest that the money
be used to establish an endowment and that
a portion of the income be used to provide
funds for such stipends.
The final proposal at this time, as
explained by Realtor Jean Tate, would
provide both low cost housing and rent
stipends for LCC students with low incomes.
Tate suggests that the college build an
apartment complex - some single family
residences and some duplexes and perhaps
consider a quad or quint building - with
50 percent leverage of the funds that will
eventually become available. She then
proposed that the income from these
housing units could be used to provide
funds for rent stipends.
Fossen says that there is no hurry for
the Board of Education to decide how the
funds will be used since the entire amount
will not be paid for some time. She says
that she and her task force presented the •
information to the board for input, and she
welcomes ideas and input from the LCC
students.

Intercultural Committee
emphasizes Korea Week

BY ARLENE HOUGLAND
staff writer

MASON

Japanese Sakura dancers and
singers, menu items like Thai noodles
and Chinese Chicken Curry, and a
fashion show featuring native costumes ofLCC' s international students
are all part of LCC 's Korea Week
celebration to be held on campus May
10 through May 14.
Mason Davis, international student counselor, says LCC's International/Intercultural Committee decided to emphasize Korea this year
because it has the oldest sister city to
Eugene and most LCC students and
staff have only a limited understanding of the country.
At a noon brown bag lunch on
Monday, May 10, a delegation from
Chinju, Eugene's Sister City in Korea
will give a slide presentation.
At noon luncheons on Wednesday, May 12 and Thursday, May 13
special speakers will describe the
country's economics and education
system. In addition, the library will
display Korean clothing, jewelry and
artifacts on the Mezzanine.
On Friday, May 14 at 6 p.m. the
International Student Community
Program will host an international
dinner and performance. The
evening's theme is "Make Space and
Love in Your Heart and Heal the

World."
Pat Williams, International Student Program community coordinator, says a committee of international
students has planned the entire event.
Ebrahim B uzaboon, as tu dent coordinator, who is arranging the food
for the dinner, says he hopes people
will take this opportunity to acquaint
themselves with the cultural diversity
the international students represent.
The dinner menu includes foods
from Korea, China, the Middle East,
Japan, Thailand and the Phillipine
Islands.
After dinner, a Chinese lion
dancer will escort guests to LCC 's
Performing Arts stage for a performance and fashion show. There will
be dancing and selections played on
the Japanese harp, a koto, and on a
Saudia Arabian instrument called the
oud which is similiar to a lute.
Tickets for each luncheon is $5
and tickets for the dinner are $10 for
the general public and $8 for students
with ID. The tickets for all three
events should be purchased by Monday, May 10.
For more information about Korea Week contact Mason Davis at
747-4501, ext. 2239. For information
regarding Friday's dinner and performance contact Pat Williams at 7474501, ext 2165.

Advice to new senate

Lena Jacobs

To the Editor,

elections are over and new people are taking over.
It seems that anarchy has reigned for the
last few months since the Hollingsworth
dictatorship ended. I know that the senate
has rules and by-laws, but they have either
been misinterpreted, misunderstood, or
ignored.
To start with a clean slate and avoid
added confusion, I would like to suggest
that the new senate simply declare all the
changes made to the by-laws this year as
invalid and start over. The old by-laws may
have needed work, but at least they seemed
to be understood enough not to get in the
way of due process.

Well, we're corning to the end of another
school year and I'd just like to say good
riddance. This year has been a mess with a
capital M.
It started with the inconveniences of the
construction that began last summer. 'i believe that the general chaos created by the
congestion in the Center building spilled
over into the student senate. Thank God

LCC student making name for himself in theater

BY LUKE STRAHOTA

arts & entertainment editor

When David Burdett was 4,
he was acting and singing complete songs. At age 12, when
most kids are worried about what
other kids think about them,
Burdett was working on his first
musical. By the age of 14,
Burdett had completed the 22 song musical entitled "Brooklyn
Streets."
Burdett, now 18, has written
all the music and 1yrics for 28
songs as well as more than 100
pages of script for his present
musical, "Children of the Shadows."
Burdett says while the show
that focuses on a congregation of
homeless children in the streets
of Atlantic City in 1946 contains
predictable songs one might hear
at a musical, it's also full of
surprises. With "Shadows,"
Burdett puts a twist into the songs
in which they all change key at
least three times. For example,
the song "Woe is My Middle
Name" changes in style nine
times and in key seven times.
With "Children of the
Shadows" scheduled to begin at
the Cottage Theater in Cottage
Grove in June, Burdett and crew
are busy with rehearsals and
setting up promotional samples

for example, which focuses
around the life of a boy locked in
a chicken coop for his entire life
by his father. Anything outside
the coop is outer space for Joseph.
The only contact with the outer
world is pages ripped out of books
his father gives to him. As far as
he knows, he and his father are
the only people who exist.
When not writing, Burdett
practices acting and singing for
up-comingperformances. Currently he is playing the role of the
Artful Dodger in the Cottage
Theater's presentation of
"Oliver."
While most may say his list
of accomplishments is impressive, Burdett looks at these and
current attainments with a
humble outlook by describing
them as "something I do."
"For some people they're
physicists or lawyers, that's what
they do. I've dedicated my life
to this and this is what I hope I '11

Department members Sparky

In looking into the not-sonear future, Burdett is optimistic.
"The dreamer inside me

or writing. I really think no one
can live up to their full potential
unless they just keep going because their potential changes as
they grow. I see where I am

RARE AND UNUSUAL PLANTSALE

The State Champion Pleasant Hill Junior High School's Odyssey of the
Mind (0 M) teams will present their First Annual Plant Sale on Saturday, May
8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Alton Baker Park. Many rare and unusual plants
prepared at specialty nurseries from Medford.to Portland have been provided
to OM especially for this sale.
OM is a creative problem solving program used by many K-12 schools
throughout the nation to challenge their talented and gifted students. Teams of
up to seven students each compete against each other in finding imaginative
solutions to given problems.
Prcblem categories range from classic literature to structural engineering
and competitions are judged at reg10nal, state and national/intemationallevels.
The two Pleasant Hill teams won in the Oregon state competition and now
need to raise $11,000 to covenravel costs for the trip to the World Competition
in College Park, Md. There the team will compete against teams from the other
50 U.S. states, Japan, Germany, Russia, Australia and other countries. The
plant sale will help raise the money.
''It is very rare that two Lane County teams win (at state level) because
usually it is a Portland or CoIVallis team," says Mary Huls, LCC student and
coach of the Pleasant Hill Jr. High OM Classic team.

Two Senate members resign
1992-93 Senate ends
its term with unresolved
controversies, resurrection of dead ballot measures and moot semiresignations
â– 

BY LARRY HAFTL
associate editor

The controversy over
ASLCC Senate qualifications,
which has taken up much of the
Senate's attention for the last
five weeks, was partially resolved when two Senate members resigned in the last minutes
of the last regular 1992-93
meeting.
Senator Jeff Fernandes announced his resignation and that
of Communications Director
Oscar Parra at the May 4 meeting. Fernandes said that Treasurer Frederico Hernandez will
resign shortly and noted that
Senator Chris Browning has
chosen to finish out his term of
office.
ASLCC President John
Mitchell later confirmed that
Fernandes, Parra, Hernandez and
Browning were the four Senate
members who no longer have a
cumulative GPA of 2.75 or
higher and are therefore not
qualified to hold office under
the revised ASLCC By-Laws.
Hernandes' announcement
was the first time the names of
the four Senate members involved in this controversy were
mentioned in public. Vice
President of Student Services
Linda Fossen had declined to
release the names to The Torch
because of legal restrictions
placed on her as a member of

_)

LCC's administration.
Fernandes said, "I didn't do
anything wrong. The only reason I am resigning is to keep the
integrity of student government,
but I'll be at the last meeting to
serve as parliamentarian. Oscar
(Parra) has also submitted his
resignation on the same grounds.
Frederico (Hernandez) will give
his resignation when he is feeling better."
The Senate accepted the
resignations and Vice-President
D.J. Holbrook said he hoped all
of the 1992-93 Senate members,
including those who just resigned, would attend the transition retreat with the incoming
1993-94 Senate members.
Holbrook said, "We've all had a
year of experience that might be
useful to the next senate."
In other business, Senator
Vida Ellins resigned as Chair of
the Election Board of Tellers
saying she would continue to
help on the election but did not
want to be responsible for the
ballot counting. Browning volunteered and was appointed to
fill this position.
All proposed changes to the
ASLCC BY-Laws were approved with the following exceptions:
•Article III, Section 3.0, K.2
left as "Two consecutive
unexcused absences."
•Article VI, Section 8.0
proposed changes rejected
•Article XIV, Section 1.0,
D left as" ... five weeks ... "
Senator Dave Swift submitted reworded versions of the
three ballot measures rejected
by the LCC Board of Education.
Swift recommended the ballot
measures be submitted to the

Board but did not specify what
action he expected the Board or
next year's senate to take if the
reworded versions are found
acceptable by the Board.
The senate approved sending the measures to the Board.
The measures are:
•Shall the current mandatory
student fee collected for OSPIRG
be made optional?
•Shall the mandatory student
fee allocated to the ASLCC
general fund be reduced from $5
to $3 per student per term?
•Shall the mandatory student
fee allocated to the ASLCC child
care programs be reduced from
$5 to $3 per student per term.
The following proposals
were also approved:
•Lane Ball Room Dance
Club funding, not to exceed $700
•Legal Students Club
awards funding, $126
•Oregon Trail events funding, $525
•International Night dinner
funding, $1,000
•Attorney's fees related to
By-Laws inquiries, not to exceed $250
•Entertainment fee for Mime
performance, $500
A proposal with several options to fund athletic activities
with $10,000 or more was tabled
one week.
In discussing possible athletic funding options, Mitchell
said, "Student fees were originally meant to fund athletics but
in 197 5 that funding was taken
over by the administration."
Swift added, "Capital improvements is where our money
should be spend, not for something that only lasts for 60 minutes or 10 days."
