Lane Community College- ay E , Eugene, Oregon Volume 2 Athletic Department receives $12,000 grant from ASLCC Senate BY LARRY HAFTL staff writer The ASLCC senate decided to give the Atheletic Department $12,000 " ... to spend as the department sees fit." The decision came at the May 25 senate meeting in response to a multi-option funding proposal from Athletic Director Harlan Yriarte. The 1992-93 senate asked Yriarte for appropriate ways to use ASLCC funds to benefit student athletics. Yriarte originally presented his multi-option proposal to the 1992-93 senate but no decision was reached before the 1993-94 senate took office. The senate chose to give an open grant to the athletic department because, in the words of ASLCC President Steve Cheeseman, "We don't want to micro-manage your department's activities. We believe you will use this money in ways that will best serve the student body." Yriarte indicated in his original proposal that he favored spending the money to provide free admission to all LCC home basketball games and to eliminate the current $3 fee paid by intramural participants. However, because of the wording of the grant, he is free to use the money in whatever way his department chooses to do. In other business, the senate confirmed Jason Rackley as the 1993-94 Student Resource Center director, and D .J. Holbrook as communications director. Rackley has been assistant SRC director under ASLCC Vice President Nancy Johnson since Johnson became vice president this month. Rackley told the senate that he has been reorganizing the SRC in order to meet anticipated demands of next year. He will work through the summer and expects the SRC to be fully prepared when fall term begins, he said. Holbrook, who served as 1992-93 SRC director and later as ASLCC Vice President, told the senate he intends to be far more active than last year's communications director.

For that matter, how many students will be able to find local employment in their chosen vocations at all? The answer is, as far as anyone is able to prove, very few. As an institution, Lane is effective in bringing students into the college, keeping them here and giving them access to an often excellent education. But if the only way for graduates to find employment in a chosen careers is to take your degrees north to Washington or south to California, how can LCC justify the money Oregon taxpayers give the school each year? Currently, there is no effective way to evaluate the technical, vocational and professional programs in terms of successfully employed graduates. There isn't even a college-wide mechanism to capture and utilize that information in ways that are meaningful to students. Worse yet, there is a campus-wide inertia that often avoids even thinking about such evaluations. To those who say you can't compare the performance of public education institutions with private schools we ask "why not?" LCC needs to aggressively help students find jobs. It must be able to give students meaningful data about job placement history for each program. When LCC can demonstrate it is better at providing effective education to our community than it is at providing well paying lifetime security to its employees it will no longer have to fight budget wars. In the May 21 Torch editorial, we examined the debate raging over school funding from a socially responsible perspective. It is self evident that" ... a more educated and productive society benefits everybody." The Torch editorial board firmly believes that we have a social responsibility to invest in our society's future by adequately funding education. But we also believe people in charge of managing public funds for education have a responsibility to maximize the quality of education achieved for dollars spent. Unfortunately, this responsibility is too often paid lip service in general terms, instead of being demonstrated in measurable ways. Consider the case of a privately funded vocational education institution in this community, Trend College. Approximately 94 percent of Trend College graduates find employment in their chosen vocations through Trend's placement service. Compare those numbers to LCC' s placement record. Or rather, try to. The college doesn't track such numbers in a manner useful to students. Of the 1,059 students receiving degrees and certificates this year, approximately 300 will earn college transfer degrees. That means most of the remaining 700 students will receive degrees and certificates in technical and vocational programs. These programs are meant to prepare students for entry into the job market.

Does equality extend to above the waist nudity? To the Editor Several days ago when the weather was nice, and the sun shone brilliantly many people were relaxing on the lawn outside of the cafeteria. Several of the men had their shirts off for tanning reasons. I then noticed one woman had hers off and was laying face-down on the grass. Her breasts were not exposed. A security officer approached her and requested that she put her shirt back on telling her because she was offending certain individuals. She immediately complied. I think this is wrong and sexist. If men can take off their shirts with no problem, then so should women if they choose to. LCC is supposedly a non-biased institution, so in all situations men and women should be treated equally. What is offensive and who is allowed to be shirtless? ToriaRovier Editor's note- According to the Oregon Revised Statutes and the Eugene City attorneys office, it is not illegal for women to appear topless in public. "People 8 years and older are prohibited from showing genitals in or in view of a public place.

She suggested a "study buddy" program of active outreach to provide tours, counseling, personal advice, introductions and networking to international students. Child Care Co-op Coordinator Stephanie Houghton reported that the LCC Campus Facilities Committee has approved construction of another building for the Child Care Coop. Houghton said the college has yet to complete design and location decisions but projects a construction completion date as winter, 1994.

Workman will take time off from a GM t!'"~ning seminar in Portland to accept the award on behalf of the program and its instructors, says Industrial Technology Department Chair Carl Horstrup. The program documented compliance with strict industry standards, Workman says. "A five man team spent two days" testing, viewing classes, ensuring that equipment and facilities were up to their standards. "We' re very pleased that the evaluation committee came in and reviewed the curriculum and training," says Horstrup. "To come through in all eight areas on the first try was very satisfying." The eight areas certified are engine repair, front end alignment, electrical systems, manual drive train and axles, trans axles, automatic transmission/heating/cooling systems, fuels and tune-up.

So it's not surprising that as I walk toward the Math and Art Building my hands are clammy and I twist my ring vigorously. "What am I worried about? I'm not even in a math class. This is stupid, it's only a interview about math phobia." • But what will I ask John Steele, an LCC PHOTO BY ARTHUR MASON math teacher? Math is John Steele my worst subject, hands down. How could I talk about a subject that I hate? I wonder if he is one of those stereotypical math teachers, a "math-is-my-life" kind of guy I poke my head in the door, he greets me with a friendly "hello." Soon I learn that John Steele has a theory: "Teach the students not only the "big picture" (the general idea of the problem), but the details (the steps of the problem) as well." Not everyone is on the same level, he explains. "I like to show students different formulas so they are able to work their problems out and achieve the answer that they need. Math is not totally concrete. There are many different ways to work a problem. Those who don't need the details can just do their work. Some people don't need the 'big picture."' His new theory comes alive in his Math 20, a special section for the math anxious taught in conjunction with LCC counselor Phyllis Geyer' s College Success class. It includes a lecture for better understanding of math words as well as numbers. Steele says most students who take this class have experienced a "math mental block," usually from negative comments made by peers or authority figures. Steele wants to fix the resulting phobia that these adults still face today. At a national teachers conferenee last year he heard math anxiety classes were helping other community college students, "They were explaining the techniques of a class like Math 20 in a workshop I was attending and I realized, 'This is it. This is what I I. .--...... . Terry was able to get in instead" The three commute daily fromMapleton,anhoureachway, helping each other study along the way. '"They're one family, yet they represent the diversity of LCC. They 're what community colleges are about," says President Jerry Moskus. He notes how the Sheas have made use of the Dislocated Worker Program, Adult High School, work-study financial aid, lower-division transfer courses, and Lane's multiple campuses to shape the changes in their lives into successes. This remarlcable family has receivednumerous accolades this past year. Brandie was chosen to represent Oregon as a Congressional Scholar at the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. last fall. The whole family went with her and stayed withrelatives. Brandie met Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Mark Hatfield and Peter DeFazio. She was given a chance to intern in Washington but wanted to intern in her chosen field instead. Dad Terry had an awardstudded year himself. First he was named student employee of the month at Lane for his work in the main campus library. Then he was named student employee of the year. Finally, the Western Association of Student Employment Administrators selected him as Outstanding Student Employee for the State of Oregon. What drives the Sheas? ''We 're just trying to be a good, hard working family," says mom Regina. Daughter Brandie will participate in Lane's commencement for Adult High School graduates on Thursday, June 3, at 7:30p.m in the Hult Center. Parents Terry and Regina will march in the commencement for degree earners the following day, same time and place. •,; l 1,..,.., \.., .,, I , " • ' _, _. ~ News May 28, 1993 EDITQRS continued from page 1 Mickey Mouse opportunities with public relations.

The red and blue logo features two balls in motion, forming the letter "S." Downey received a $300 contract to produce the logo. Entries were judged for uniqueness, simplicity, depiction of motion, memorability, and ease of reproduction.

Student input requested staff writer Help Wanted: Student input for new faculty evaluation form. The Faculty Evaluation Committee has developed a standarized evaluation form and would like to have student feedback on its content. Committee member and Nutrition instructor Beth Naylor says the Northwest Commission on Colleges has issued updated accreditation requirements which include requesting client input into the faculty evaluation process. Under these requirements, she says, every contracted faculty member needs an evalua- tion once a year for the first three years and every third year after. Student evaluation is only one part of the process. In addition, supervisors observe instructors and each faculty member appraises his or her own performance. She says the purpose of the standarized form will be to encourage each instructor to use it as an evaluative tool for every class. Students who are interested in viewing the rough draft of the form can contact any of the committee members.

The band members inspect the nickle strung armor on their axes. They check with the one armed with sticks. A crowd starts to gather as band members wait with anticipation. All are anxious to see who will succumb to the victor of The Battle of the Bands. The musicians prepare to enter the battlefield. Warface, a band from Springfield, attacks the stage with a vengeance Monday at Swingers Night Club. They rally with a dominating vietory in the first round of the battle going against Spanish Fly, and Reach. Next week its assault will be much more challenging, fighting within the raucous cages of Pleasant Hill's Zoo Gang and dodging the venomous sounds of Ashland's Synesthesia. Swingers iscurrentlyholdingthethirdannual "Battle of the Bands,"every Monday night until the end of June, sponsored by Duke's Sound and Lights. A total of 18 bands are involved, and the victors will come out with $2,000 worth of prize money and accessories. Swingers provides the stage and puts up some prize money. Miller Beer, along with the radio station ZROCK, also helps promote the event, says Duke's Sound and Light owner, Duke. The battle is geared toward alternative mu- · sic. "Really we do this because we like to find bandsthatwe'veneverheardbefore,"saysDuke. "A lot of new bands come out and start playing, they just get into it. They don't know what to expect." "The bands are the kind that you have to dig out of the woodwork. They just come out and start playing," Duke says. "It's good for our business, the industry and it's good for our music scene." The crowd decides who is victorious at the end of the night. The judging is done in four categories- -technical ability, originality, crowd response and overall performance. Duke stresses that the bands get their friends down to the battle to help cheer them on. "It's the type of music the club wants and it's the sound that people come to hear. The whole idea about the Battle of the Bands is to promote original music," says DuJ..e."The bottom line is that we want everybody to get out and see the music." The Battle of the Bands is now in it's fourth week and continues for two more weeks. Eight finalists will emerge from the battlefield. The bands will enter into the semi-finals where they will contend for the final four positions. Semifinals begin on June 14 and 21. The final battle will be held on June 28.

I suppose some people would have immediately jumped out of the water to dive for the nearest bush. We found it extremely amusing that we had driven for the last three hours searching for a secluded spot and had ended up next to, of all things, Highway 126! Swimming is a summer recreational activity common everywhere. Here in Lane County (especially the happy hippie valley of Eugene), skinny dipping is a much more accepted, if not practiced, past-time. • The area contains many places that are perfect for skinny dipping. From Cougar Hot Springs to Fall Creek there is something to suit everyone. (However, a word of advice, don't go to Cougar after hours unless you' re prepared to pay the $20 fine. It closes after sunset.) I know that there are people out there who always wanted to dip au naturel, but have been afraid of being discovered or arrested. In fact, the Oregon law suggests that nudity isn't the same thing as indecency.

Being the fun loving and helpful person that I am, I called the city attorney to find out about nudity regulations in our district. There are no specific provisions for skinny dipping in Eugene's city code. The law prohibits people 8 years and older from showing their genitals in a public place. What is "public," then, seems to be the key. A remote swimming hole - away from a road or highway, and secluded from other people - would probably not constitute a public place. "The first time I ever saw people skinny-dipping in a public place was in 1971. I was on my way to a peace march in Washington D.C. and I stopped in Albany New York. The fountain in front of the university was filled with naked people. My buddies and I knew we were in the right place." -Jim Wychules, LC~ food services manager.

A new computer system, unfamiliar computer software, lack of opportunity to integrate manual procedures with the new computer system, loss of almost 25 percent of the Financial Aid office staff and a 150 percent increase in early applications created delays of over two months. The problems began in December 1991 when LCC management decided to buy an administrative software package to be installed on the new campus mainframe computer by February 1992. Director of Financial Aid Linda Waddell said, "I went on record as saying that was insufficient lead time for us to bring up a new system and train people. I was told that the college could not afford to maintain the old system at the same time as the new one and that the new software would be as good as or better than the old system." Software supply problems created an eight week delay. Because of this, the first student records were installed in May instead of February. Increased early applications and loss of staff compounded the problem. "Those problems are behind usnowandweareabletoprocess applications in a reasonable timeframe," says Associate Di-,... rector Linda DeWitt. "We' 11 be even more effective next year." MANY STUDENTS ARE UNAWARE THAT THERE ARE INTERIOR STAIRS IN THE CENTER BUILDING OSPIRG retains student funding BY LARRY HAFTL associate editor OSPIRG, Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group, faced determined opposition this yearwhenitsoughtrefunding through student fees. OSPIRG receives $2 per student per term to fund its operations. Part of the money is used to operate OSPIRG's LCC chapter and the rest is sent to its state headquarters in Portland. Under an informal agreement with LCC, OSPIRG was required to seek continued funding approval by student vote this year. Led by ASLCC President Bill Hollingsworth, the senate proposed a ballot measure that would make funding of OSPIRG by student fees optional. The senate also proposed a measure to cut funding of the Child Care Co-op by $3 per student per term and another measure to cut ASLCC discretionary funding by $3 per student per term. The money from these cuts was supposed to fund the threatened Student Health Services. PHOTO BY ARTHUR MASON The Board did accept an OSPIRG proposed measure to reaffirm funding from student fees and a senate proposed measure to fund Student Health Services with an additional $7 per student per term fee.

Year in Review May 28, 1993 11 School closes due to icy roads BY LARRY HAFTL associate editor Winter weather this year forced the longest closure of the main LCC campus in its 28 years of operation. Freezing rain and snow combined to force LCC President Jerry Moskus to close the school from Jan. 7throughJan. 12. The decision came after Moskus conferred with Director of Campus Services Paul Colvin and other department heads. Several inches of snow on top of black ice coated the parking lots and walkways making walking and driving extreme! y hazardous. Colvin said, "Luckily, to my knowledge, no one has been injured. Education is important but not as important as the health and safety of the students." The UO remained open during this period and at least PHOTO BY WOODY six faculty members and numerous students sustained weather related injuries requiring medical treatment said UO security officer Kay Coots. According to LCC Director of Security Paul Chase, the school has an obligation to keep the campus open if at all pos- sible and delays in starting times are preferable to closures. Unfortunately, a continuous string of storm fronts made all attempts to stay open futile. The last day students could drop classes and still receive a full refund was delayed one week and. Community college budgets suffer under Measure S's axe BY SONJA TAYLOR editor On Dec. 41992, the Torch reported that LCC's budget would have to absorb $4.1 million in cuts over the next two years if the legislature were to approve Governor Roberts' proposed budget reductions for education. LCC President Jerry Moskus worried that the college would have to arrive at those cuts by eliminating whole departments or programs, rather than trimming budgets in each department. "When you make across-the-board cuts you thin the soup for everybody," he said. But by Dec. 16 the administration proposed a less drastic solution. • The removal of primary health care from the general fund. • Budget adjustments and reallocations - moving selected fees and revenues (such as surplus revenue from the Bookstore and Financial Services fees) from restricted use to unrestricted use and general control. • A suggested increase in the 1993-94 tuition rate of $1 per credit hour, as well as an increase in tuition for non-credit classes. • Program/function reductions - a total of 14 positions to be eliminated, approximately half of which were currently vacant. Toe college proposed to cut one position in each of the following departments: Students vote to fund primary health care BY SONJA TAYLOR editor On Feb. 10 the LCC Board of Education voted to eliminate college funding of the primary health care offered at Student Health Services. All members of the board were adamant that SHS was important to the college and to the students. However, due to the pending budget shortfalls, the board was required to make cuts and the elimination of primary care from the general budgets was proposed by the executive cabinet. Several alternative avenues of funding were discussed, among them a student fee approved by a student vote, or a fee levied by the board. Board Chair Pat Riggs stated that she would rather not impose a student fee withour the vote of the students. In May the 1992-93 ASLCC Senate added a measure to the spring ballot that asked students if they would be willing to pay an extra $6 per term to keep primary care. By a vote of 1082 yes to 187 no, students overwhelmingly agreed to fund primary care through a student fee at the beginning of each term. Counseling; management in Institutional Advancement; the third shift operator in Computer Services staffing; management in Investment and Support Services; Physical Education; and Business. After public hearings, on Jan. 19 and Feb. 3 of 1993, to discuss proposed budget cuts the Board of Education, at its Jan.25 meeting, heard the plan. With the exception of cutting general fund support for Student Health, and approving tuition increases and program adjustments, the board will not settle on the 1993-94 budget document until its June 16 rreeting. An article in the Oregonian on April 14 announced that the House of Representatives had put forth a proposal that would chop another $15 million from the already shrinking college budgets. Rep. John Minnis, R-Wood Village, suggested that one way to make up for the loss in funds would be to raise tuition. But, Vice President of Student Service Linda BY SONJA TAYLOR Fossen told the Torch such a raise in tuition was not editor likely.

He told Geyer he wanted to start a class that dealt with math anxiety. They started to put their ideas together. This spring is the first time Math 20/College Success has been offered and Steele says it is working exceptionally well. Students learn to cope with math anxiety as well as learn to relax while solving math problems. One relaxation exercise asks each student to visualize a mental "storage box" that contains all outside thoughts the student is thinking about before class. Outside problems remain outside before the class begins. Next, the student imagines grassy meadows, a big city any comforting image. "Phyllis has the students think of somewhere pleasant before they start class, it helps them feel comfortable, relaxed," Steele says. Homework is not "typical" either. "We have the students do their homework on one side of the page but on the other they write down how they are feeling at that moment. It is amazing to see some of the answers," Steele says, amazed. "A woman wrote how acertain problem reminded her of her third grade teacher scolding her for not knowing how to do the problem. The feelings, the words she wrote were so powerful. She had never realized what exactly was holding her back until that moment." That was a true break- through, he says. "I want to help people," he says. "Let's say there was a student who had all of the qualities to be a great nurse. But the only problem was the math. That is where Math 20/College Success comes in. We aren't trying to produce instant knowledge, just understanding." There is a pause and suddenly he jumps out of his chair to explain. "Some students get the 'big picture,' while others need detail." He draws "pies" (divided circles) on the board and shades parts explaining the "F-word" (that would be the word that his students give fractions, folks). He says that for some reason, fractions seem to be the worst chapter of math the students face. As he diagrams the "pies" on the board he relates them to subjects that the students deal with on a daily basis, like dividing dinner evenly for the family that night. Even I understand. Math is not an easy subject for a lot of people to grasp . I know; I am still afraid of math. But after talking to Mr. Steele about his class, I feel I owe it to myself to try to overcome my fears, or at least, come to understand a subject that I have been avoiding like the plague my whole educational career. Math 20 for the math anxious,which includes College Success, is listed with the other Math 20 classes in the course catalog. r--------- ---------- , , Jippreciates your ~ continuing support.
