LCC student wins
space schol~rship
BY DON REYNOLDS
staff writer

It's been a great year
for Kristine Reynolds
Sohnrey.
First, she won an essay contest on "What Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. 's
Dream of a Color Blind
Society Means to Me,"
sponsored by the ASLCC
in honor of Martin Luther
King Jr. 's birthday in Feb.
Then she won the essay contest on "My Light
Kristine ReynoldsBulb Experience with
Sohnrey
Learning," sponsored by
the English Department in conjunction with the Office of
Institutional Advancement.
Now she has won a National Aeronautical and Space
Administration (NASA) scholarship to study Space Life
Sciences at Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
In the process, Sohnrey, a pre-med student at LCC, will
earn nine credits from Florida A&M University during the
June l -Aug.19summersession. NASAwillpaySohnrey's
tuition, books, travel expenses, lodging and food, says LCC
math instructor Alice Kaseberg, who wrote a letter of recommendation for her.
"I've had a dream since I was a little kid of going into
space," says Sohnrey. When she saw the NASA application
on a Science Deptartment bulletin board, she wrote for
details. Sohnrey says she entered transcripts, three letters of
recommendation, and a 500 word essay. NASA awarded
scholarships to 40 out of the 3500 who applied.
Students will work in teams on projects while attending
a series of lectures and classes, says Sohnrey. "It will be a
wonderful opportunity to learn things, not only about the
space program," but about group learning, think tank-style,
she says. "A synergy .. .is created when people work in that
situation."
Sohnrey has the ability to synthesize information, says
Kase berg. "The notes she took in class were more organized
than the notes I taught from."

Dental clinic provides
low cost care
BY DON REYNOLDS
staff writer

Student hygienists at the
LCC Dental Clinic provide
quality dental care at low cost,
according to the dental program
coordinator and students.
The program offers evaluations and gum disease therapy
for $17 -$22 that would normally
cost $400 - $700 if done in a
dentist's office, says dental hygiene student Alissa Shelley.
For the last two years
Whi leaker Elementary School
Nurse Maxine Proskurowski and
Lane's dental clinic have teamed
up to provide free examinations
and preventive care to Whiteaker
Elementary School Stu dents,
Proskurowski says.
LCC Dental Hygiene Coordinator Sharon Hagan and
Proskurowski spearhead a
project that has given the children
over $10,000 worth of free care
this year alone, says Hagan.
"Whiteaker is considered to
be the most disadvantaged school
in the state, according to the
Oregon State Board of Education," Proskurowski says,
pointing out that over 100 students in the school are homeless.
Proskurowski says that the dental
clinic has treated all but 30 of
Whiteaker's 210 students this
year.

Native Americans' view Oregon Trail Mannequin is lifesaver
BY MICHAEL GOODWIN
staff writer

The impact of the European
migration into America's West
is not portrayed truthfully. Todo
so would discredit the image of
the "noble pioneer," said Native
American attorney, Rick
Acevedo.
As a result, writers of
popular literature, TV, and radio
fare portray Native Americans
stereotypically. He said, 'The

true picture of Indian history is
not taught. Instead, Indians are
portrayed as thieves, liars, rapists, murderers, and above all
drunkards, constantly at war with
whites as well as each other."
Acevedo made his remarks
during the fourth session of The
Oregon Trail Commemorative
activities. It included dancing,
music and food, followed by a
serious panel discussion about
the government's strategy to

occupy western lands, treaties,
policies and the general impact
of the westward European migration on native populations.
The event was sponsored by the
ASLCC.

Christopher Graves, where are you?
BY LARRY HAFfL

associate editor
As one of his last official
acts, ASLCC VicePresidentD.J.
Holbrook announced that one of
the senators elected last week
did not have a 2.75 cumulative
GPA requirement and could not
be seated. The ASLCC By-Laws
currently require senate mem-

hers to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 or more.
After several of the runners
up in the senate race were disqualified for the same reason,
the seat was awarded to Christopher Graves.
Holbrook made the announcement at the beginning of
the last 1992-93 Senate meet-

ing, May 11.
The only business item on
the outgoing senate's agenda was
a funding proposal for athletic
programs, but because there was
no quorum present, the senate
could take no action. The pro-

LCC at Florence has put together enough money to purchase a training mannequin for use in Home Health Aid and
Certified Nursing Assistant classes.
Bill Porter, the director of the Florence campus says,
"This full size mannequin is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment. We have even gotten a request from the local hospital to
have their nurses be trained with the mannequin."
Porter says, the students put the life-size mannequin to
immediate use in the classroom after it was delivered, helping
to teach nurses CPR, wrapping cuts and lacerations, inserting
catheters and IV's, and giving enemas.
Funding for the mannequin came from several sources.
A large part of the $3,000 purchase price came from the LCC
general fund, and the health services account. The Florence
campus also received two community grants: A $200 grant
from the Siuslaw Rural Health Center, and a $500 grant from
the Western Lane County Foundation. Both agencies advertised in the Siusla News that the grants were available for
funding opportunities for community services and advancement.
"One of the major reasons LCC got the grants is the large
need for health service personnel and another reason is LCC
health care graduates have almost a 100 percent job placement
rate," Porter Said.

Airplane hangar and lab
added to LCC budget
BY SONJA TAYLOR
editor

LCC will construct an airplane hanger and an avionics lab at a
total estimated cost of $ 1.8 million, if federal funds come through.
At its May 12meeting, the Board of Education voted4-2 to spend
the expected $900,000 in federal funds in addition to $300,000 from
the LCC Foundation and $600,000 from the Capital Projects fund.
The board did not approve any further expansion.
Board members Chuck Ivey and Larry Mann voted against the
motion. Mann stated that the number of students who would benefit
from the expenditure is too small. Ivey contended that he didn't have
enough information prior to voting on the proposal.
The board also approved the results of the ASLCC elections 5-1.
Mann stated that the OSPIRG ballot measure was worded unfairly, so
he didn ' t feel comfortable approving the election results.
In other business, the board discussed several proposals submitted by the Investment Opportunities Committee.
• A Fitness Educational Center with a cost of $75,000.
• A brand name fast food restaurant with a cost of $60,000.
• An exchange program with the former Soviet Republic of
Georgia at a cost of $17,000.
The committee suggested that each of these proposals would
generate revenue for the college. The fitness center would enhance
the Health and PE Department. The fast food outlet would provide
additional food choices and an opportunity for student employment.
The Georgia exchange would enhance the international student exchange program.

TREATIES continued from page 1
the discussion with two guest speakers, Acevedo
from Salish-Kootenai Tribe of northwestern
Montana, and Bob Tom of the Siletz Tribe in
Lincoln County.
"Treaties aren't an Indian thmg," said
Acevedo. They are a U.S. government thing. By
constitutional law they can only be struck with a
foreign country.
"Treaties recognize that the Indian communities are separate distinct nations within the
United States. That has not changed. We are
recognized as foreign countries which gives Indians a distinct dual-citizenship/' said Acevedo.
He said the U.S. government has never questioned the governing power of the separate Native
American nations. "The Indians have always lived
in highly structured societies literally having the
power of life and death over tribal members." But
he added, "When Indians are off reservations,
they are subject to the laws of the U.S.
One of the problems with the treaties of the
nineteenth century, said Acevedo is "they really
represent an exchange of a large piece of land for
a much smaller piece of land." He said these
exchanges were made under duress because the
individual chiefs who signed the treaties were
responsible for the survival of their tribes.
"Whether or not these native populations
lived or died was a direct result of their interaction with whites. Approximately 3.5 million
Native Americans died, mostly from disease,
during the European migration," said Acevedo.
He said most minorities in this country want
to be included in the mainstream, but Native
Americans "want to be excluded, trying to
maintain who we are by being left alone. The
federal government never intended to leave us
alone. They were intent on assimilation, by
breaking-up Indian land and fragmentation of the
Indian tribes ."

nature are part of one living entity.
"Now that we are all here at the end of the Oregon

A newspaper carrier had
called for help; someone else
made sure no one was inside the
flaming structure. Siporin had
two choices: he could return to
bed or he could grab his tape
recorder and ~over the fire as a
news story~
He went back inside and
emerged moments later with his
tape recorder.
"I didn't get paid for this

host at KLCC. "What I got for

his current call-in show which

"a call-in with a conscience."
A long-time political activist who makes no secret of his
opinions, he has matured into a
seasoned journalist and news
analyst exploring issues in depth
and airing views that don't get
heard elsewhere.
"What initially 'activated'
me was the media," says Siporin.
Seeing peaceful black demonstrators attacked by "vicious,
brutish white police officers with
dogs" on television in the mid
'50s fueled his passion for justice, he reflects.

LCC has been selected by
the state Employment Division
to be a testing sight for the newly

new kiosk, located in the cafeteria, was installed in the early
part of April.
"Because of the computer,
people can look for jobs anywhere in the state," says Joan
Adams of the LCC Job Placement Office. "When the kiosk
menu comes up and you press
jobs, the map of the state comes
up with all the cities."
A printout gives general information about jobs and the
required qualifications for each
position.
"If it's a job that you can
contact the employer directly, or
if you have to go to the State
Employment Office to get the
information, the job computer
will tell you," says Adams.

several activist friends were arrested the day the National Guard

Siporin was thrust into a

a student takeover of the Military Naval Science Building,
holding it until a school-wide
vote could be held on whether to

close the university to protest
the invasion of Cambodia.
Siporin says the experience
taught him the power of political

him, then made concessions for

as a way to economize, since the
state budget has been cut due to
ballot measure five.
The installment of the kiosk
will make job information more
easily accessible to the public. It
will be easier for state Employment Division to get the information out to the public, rather
than having people come in to
the office, said Adams.
Adams played a small role
in getting the kiosk installed.
"The initial contact was Linda
Fossen, the Vice President for
Student Services, and she was
really very excited about the
project."
Adams says the Job Placement staff was really excited
about the project. She explained
that the state chose the cafeteria
because they wanted it in a
centralized, high traffic area.
The touch-screen kiosk is

and their immediate families.
LCC students would also be entitled to unlimited participation
in all intramural activities without having to pay the current $3

mental abuse. Americans have a
hard time addressing such issues
perhaps because the more we
talk about them, the uglier they
become, and the uglier they become, the less we want to talk
about them.
Three LCC playwrights and
a host of supporting crew members however, are taking these
issues in hand and presenting
them on stage.
Playwrights Devan C. Wilson, Aaron M. Cohen, and
Rachel Indigo Cerise's ideas will
come to life inside Lane's
Bluedoor Theatre on May 21,
22, 28 and 29 as this year's "An
Evening of New Plays."
While all plays differ in plot
and theme, they all display versatile ways of addressing issues
through comedy, abstraction,
and realism.
Wilson's "Dance With the
Devil," which is directed by
Todd M. Crowson, is the story
of Norman, a 30-year-old virgin
who seems content with his life
until he meets Francesca. One

have met under horrifying circumstances. Directed by Karyn

team takes
Pepsi
Challenge,
closing in
on end of
season
BY DOUG BAUER
staff writer

With a career best overall
performance, LCC's Nikki
Traina stole the spotlight at the
Pepsi Challenge, held May 1 at
the University of Oregon.
Traina captured first place
victories in the 100-meter
hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles
and a second place finish in the
200 meters. All of her times were
personal bests.
"We had a real good meet,"
Lane's first-year Head Coach
Brad Joens says.
"After our home triangular,
to go to a low key
meet, but we turned in some real
good performances."
The meet consisted of teams
from the University of Oregon,
Central Oregon Community
College and Lane, as well as
unattached athletes from around
the area.
Lane runner Chris McLean
had a personal best of 1:57.4 in
the 800 meters, but was beaten
to the finish line by teammate
John Mackay, who crossed the
line at 1:53.4.

Wf; just wanted

Also recording a personal best
time was Michalyn Glen, who

placed second in the 100 meters
with a time of 12.6 seconds and
third in the 200 meters with a
time of 26.4 seconds.

The Intramural Department
is currently holding its annual
spring tennis tournament, which
is a two-week event.
A strange feature to the
format of the competition is the
two opponents, who scheduled
to play, need to set their own
match time instead of dealing
with a pre-set scheduled time.
Then the winner must report the
result of their match to the Intramural Office by a certain time.
The final results of the
tennis playoffs will appear in

May 14, 1993

SIPQ RIN continued from page 5
Siporin started working on the
Blue Plate Special, a daily news
and talk show, in 1982. The show
was successful; ratings were high
and there was a clear demand for
more call-in. While at Blue Plate,
Siporin produced freelance
pieces for the New York Times
and National Public Radio.
In 1989 Siporin started
Livewire, a call-in show that
aired three nights each week.
Livewire took on the timber
controversy, Ballot Measure
Nine, elections, environmental
issues and · other topics that
generated a great deal of heat.
While he brought together
opposing sides of many controversies, Siporin recalls only one
issue that seemed to polarize both
sides beyond hope. The issue:
should dogs be allowed to run
free in Wayne Morse Park.
"Those people really hate

each other," he says shaking his
head with amazement.
Although he values fairness
and accuracy, Siporin makes no
pretence of being an objective,
balanced reporter. "It's ludicrous to suggest that you've done
enough research on a question to
know how to ask intelligent
questions," but haven't formed
an opinion, Siporin asserts. "The
key is to be fair and accurate," he
says, "more than anything, to be
accurate."
He goes to great lengths for
accuracy,hesays. During a 1985
trip he interviewed over 100
Nicaraguans, "Only two of them
supported the Contras; the rest
supported the Nicaraguan Gov ernment or the Sandinistas." Instead of ignoring the two Contra
supporters, he aired their views
along with seven or eight of the
others-but he explained the ra-

tio in his comments.
Siporin made front-page
news during the 1990 gubernatorial primary, when then AtDave
General
torney
Frohnmeyer's campaign staff
said Siporin wasn't balanced and
Frohnmeyer barred Siporin from
serving as a debate panelist. As
a result, Siporin contends,
Frohnmeyer hurt his campaign
by sending a message that he
was a afraid of him.
Register-Guard columnist
Don Bishoff agrees. "I thought it
was a tactical mistake by the
Frohnmeyer campaign to exclude him. What it implied was a
weakness in Dave Frohnmeyer
that I don ' t think is there. Dave
is a sharp enough guy to handle
anything Alan or I could throw
at him."
The controversy attracted
listeners to KLCC, says Siporin,

running a hand through his
greying hair. "I know that a lot
of people who never heard of me
saw that Register Guard story
and said 'this guy scared
Frohnmeyer; I'll have to check
him out' and became regular listeners."
Siporin 's reputation extends
across the political spectrum.
"He asks fair open-ended questions and doesn't try to lead listeners. I respect him for that, "
says Oregon Citizens Alliance
Lane County Director Larry
All wander.
Preparing three evening callin shows weekly, reporting for
NPR and doing freelance work
became a burden for Siporin,
who works part-time at KLCC.
"Call-in was more draining and
the evening hours meant that I
was ... wired late at night." he
explains.

Siporin cut back call-in
shows to the current one hour
each Sunday. "We were trying
to figure ·out how to get my presence in other places" at KLCC,
he says,"doing reporting, interviewing, and there was some talk
about my doing commentary."
His first commentary, which
aired last fall, analyzed the confusion of pedophilia with homosexuality in the case of an HIV
positive Roseburg man charged
with molesting children. Listener response was favorable,
says KLCC news director Tripp
Sommer. "We got positive
feedback for days."
Siporin's commentaries air
Thursday afternoons on The
Northwest Passage and are repeated Friday morinings on
NPR's Morning Edition . He
conducts weekly interviews for
KLCC and reports for NPR.

movement vocabulary of their own. Seereiter says they have
been able to integrate harmoniously, and that they complement, support and motivate each other to new levels of
express ion.
Two Dance will perform new works and a commissioned
piece by Eugene based choreographer/dancer Margo Van
Ummersen, who is also a Lane Dance faculty member.
Included in the evening's entertainment will be a piece
called "The Howl," a unique collaboration of dance and a 7
and a half foot sculpture by Tim Outman of the Art department. The inspiration came to Seereiter and Outman a year
ago and together they came up with the idea of expressing
movement into a unified medium of dance and sculpture.
"The Howl" also features music by Heather Perkins and
costume by Ronnie Simone. The lighting is designed by Jim
McCarty and technical wizardry for Interludes is the work by
Skip Hubbard.
For further ticket information call Myrna Seifert, 7262202 between noon and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
