Davis recognized as Innovator of the Year
LCC program builds
affordable homes
Keri Trask
staff writer
For three years, LCC construction instructor Hal Davis and his
students have provided low income housing for the community with
the cooperation of St. Vincent De Paul.
For his work, the League for Innovation in the Community
College, a national nonprofit community college association that
promotes innovative teaching, recently recognized Davis as LCC's
•
Innovator of the Year.
"We made a partnership with the community, in this case it was
with the low-income housing provider," says Davis. "Through that
partnership we were able to teach our students by building an actual
house. The innovative part of this idea is that it not only gives
students the opportunity to build a 'real' house, but it also helps the
community."
Carl Horstrup, department chair of the Industrial Technology
Department, nominated Davis. -" It's a wonderful win-win situation,
because the students can work on an actual hands-on project with
little or no cost passed on to the student or the school," says Horstrup.
In the past, Lane built homes and then sold them on the open
market, a procedure Davis calls high risk for LCC, because the

Peter Sorenson, chairman of
LCC's Board of Education , was
sworn in as District20 State Senator
by Secretary of State Phil Keisling,
Tuesday, Sept. 28.
The Lane County Board of
Commissioners selected Sorenson
Sept. 21 to fill the vacancy left by
Grattan Kerans when he resigned to
take a lobbying position with the
State Board of Higher Education.
Three candidates vied for the
post - Sorenson, Eugene carpenter John McFaddin, and paralegal
assistant Michael Graham - selected at a Sept 11 convention of
Lane County Democratic Precinct
Committee Persons.
In an early September interview,
Sorenson said that, if appointed, he
would serve as a strong advocate for
community colleges.

"Being one of 30 state senators
would give me an opportunity to
advocate for higher education,"
Sorenson said.
Part-time LCC English instructor Peter Jensen, who assisted
Sorenson in his bid for the senate
seat, says Sorenson will be an educated voiceforcommunity colleges.
"Our faculty, staff and students
will have an experienced advocate
in the Senate," says Jensen.
Sorenson was appointed to
LCC's Board of Education in 1989
to fill a vacancy, then won election
to the seat in March, 1990.

In other OCA news, anti-gay
rights measures passed in
Creswell, Medford, Estacada,
Molalla, Sweet Home, Lebanon
and Jackson County Tuesday,
Sept 21.
The measures prohibit the
granting of minority or affirmative action status to homosexuals
by the government.
The measures violate HB 3500,
a state law passed Aug. 3 that
prohibits local governments from
enacting or enforcing ordinances
which give special rights· to any
citizen or group. The law also bans
any law that singles out for discrimination any group on the basis of sexual orientation. The OCA
is seeking the recall of 14 legislators who voted for the law.
The OCA is preparing to field
another statewide anti-gay rights
initiative in November, 1994.
Oakridge, Veneta and Cottage

measures in May.

Board Of Education members share opinions
Don Reynolds

The LCC Board of Education
will try another time to fill its vocant
Zone 1 seat.
After deadlocking on two candidates for the volunteer position in
September, the board plans to hold
a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct
5, to interview the candidates and
discuss their qualifications.
The candidates .are Veneta resident Francisca Elena Leyva-Johnson, chainnan of the Fem Ridge
School District Board of Directors,
and Cindy Cable, a Justice of the
Pea;e from Horence.
The Torch interviewed the two
candidates on a number of issues
recently and prepared this report.

She notes that the five percent
tax would replace much of the state
revenue for education lost to Measure 5.
Johnson says that without the
sales tax,communitycolleges won't
be able to provide an education for
students.
"It's a wash," she says.
Cable says that the education
system will benefit, but is concerned
about passage of the tax, noting that
an enormous effort will be needed
to overcome the negative connotation that the sales tax has with Oregon voters.
Arguments that the sales tax is

"The sales tax really hits expendable income," not necessary for

"ff people could see the whole

As the legislature adds services
and programs that K-14 schools are
required to deliver, says Johnson,
schools run out of space.
Johnson insists that the first priority of the college is the education
process, but feels that referring a

Intramural Director Gary
Knapp hopes there will be more
participation since there will be
no fee charged.
"We had about 1,000 people
on the average for each term in
intramurals last year,,, Knapp says.
"Since the fee was lifted, I expect
more people will come out to
participate in intramurals:,
Most of those people visit the
weight room. Knapp hopes to hold
one or two big events this coming
year. This year, he hopes to have
a ski trip and possibly a rafting
trip, but nothing is definite at this
time.
Intramurals, which is a division of the LCC Athletic Department, is not responsible for injuries incurred during intramural
activities or recreational play. The
intramural department strongly
recommends.that all participants
have appropriate medical insurance to cover any injuries that
may occur during play.
Teams wishing to register for
any of the leagues must submit a
team registration sheet, which is
available in the intramural office,
Physical Education building

Anyone wanting to participate
in the team sports, who does not
have a team, should sign up on the

Helping Women
Find a Way Into
Productive
Careers
Arlene Hougland
A & E editor
Charlene (Chi) Kennedy is no
stranger to pain.
She was 4 years old when a
stranger entered her family's yard
and promised her a turtle if she
would follow him.
She did.
He kidnapped her, then
sodomized her.
"My family was never the same
after that, especially my dad."
At 13, she says, she sought
help from a counselor to try and
regain her "lost childhood."
When she turned 14, her mother
was struck by a car and severly
injured. Kennedy became her
mother's primary caregiver.
"That pretty much took away
any hope I had of having a normal
childhood."
Kennedy says she armed herself with a "don't-take-crap-fromanybody-attitude" and used hard
work to survive the pain in her
life.
But while her attitude helped,
she found hard work isn't enough
for many women in this society.
She began working as a clerk
for the U.S. Navy in a civil service
job when she was 17.
At 22, she applied for a clerical
position with Southern California
Gas Company. She didn't get the
position, but the company discovered that she scored high on
the mechanical apptitude test and
offered her a job as a station assistant at one of the company's
compressor stations.
She says she learned quickly
and took her tum on the rotating
shifts.
After six months, her supervisor let her know that she was the
first women they had hired in two
years. He said the all male crew of
40 had harassed the previous female so badly she had a nervous
breakdown.
They also harassed Kennedy.
"It got pretty bad at times, but
I was determined to stick it out."
.Kennedy says the older men
were the worst because they had
been raised in a more traditional
environment-where women did
not work outside their homes. She
thinks they made ita point to try to
break any woman who dared to
infringe on their all-male domain.

Performing Arts opens
with ''Love Letters''
Arlene Hougland
A&E editor
Melissa: Were you the one who sent me the valentine saying "Will
you be my valentine?"
Andy: Yes, I sent it.
Melissa: Then I will be. Unless I have to kiss you.
With these first lines of childhood prose, A. R. Gurney' splay "Love
Letters" chronicles the relationship of Andrew Makepeace Ladd II and
Melissa Gardner through their lifetime of correspondence.
The LCC Perfonning Arts Department will open its 1993-94 season
with two perfonnances of "Love Letters" on Oct. 8 and 9, in the
Perfonning Arts Building. Proceeds from these performances will fund
Perfonning Arts scholarships.
Ed Ragozzino, who served for 18 years as head of LCC' s Performing Arts Department, and his wife Roxy, a former LCC student and
local actress, will perform together for the first time.
Currently, Ed Ragozzino is executive director of Eugene Festival of
Musical Theatre. He has performed in film, television, live theatre and
has directed over 160 plays and musicals.
Roxy Ragazzino has performed at LCC and starred in EFMT's
production of "Peter Pan" at the Hult Center last July.
Patrick Torelle, LCC perfonning arts instructor who will direct this
production, has worked in Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.
Tickets for each performance are $15, and can be purchased at Hult
Center, Marketplace Books or by c_alling the Lane Box Office at 7262202.
Artis the spoonman is taldng
his spoon act to the next plateau
--- a solo perfonnance coming to
the Community Center for the
Performing Arts, Sunday, Oct. 3.
He says he plays the spoons
like an electric guitar, following
the rhythm of the song and doing
"leads and fills."
And, he admits, more people
are annoyed by what he does than
like it, but claims he has a faithful
following.
He says he picked up his first
following at the Oregon Country
Fair.
"Over the years, I've released
three tapes, a poster, and a book at
the fair," he says, noting that he's
also performed frequently at
Eugene's Saturday Market.
Now he '11 perform on stage at
the WOW hall, and says he's
"terrified."

are to play to the people who don't

Besides playing spoons, he' 11
sign copies of his new book, "Aspirations to Manifestations."
"Artis is an inspired, energetic,
unique, awesome guy, who plays
spoons like nobody's business,"
says Alan Trist of Eugene's
HulogosiBooks,Artis' publisher.
"He's like a whirlwind, you can't
see him move, he's so fast."
Trist says Artis has an incredible array of spoons and sticks he
uses on all parts of his body, his
head, his cheeks - all over the
place.
Artis claims he doesn't put on
a show but, rather, a naked revelation of his natural self. He says
spoon playing only takes up about
10 minutes of his show, and the
rest is poetry, singing, clowning,
and carrying on.
Long-time friend Anne

Kimberly De Moss has a passion for music that she says keeps

LCC's Performing Arts Department recently hired De Moss
as choral director to replace Wayte
Kirchner who retired last spring.
She says she looks forward to
the challenge of building a quality
music education program at LCC.
De Moss received her degrees
in Music Education at the UO.
Over the past seven years she was

shocks people and wakes them

themselves and question their
values, with lyrics like "I'm a radioactive mercenary junkie with

Although he claims stagefright, Artis .has played before
large audiences.
For example, he played with
guitarist Frank Zappa in a 1981
Eugene concert after meeting
Zappa through a friend a few days
earlier.
,
Artis says Zappa "brought me
up (on stage) for the second encore
and I closed the show for him."
Years later, in New York,
Zappa recognized Artis in the
audience and invited him on stage
to close the show with him again.
Now, promoting his book, Artis

In addition, she has performed
with numerous vocal groups, such
as Rogue Valley Chorale in
Medford, Southern Oregon Repertory Singers in Ashland and
the Bach Festival Chorus in Eugene.
LCC's Performing Arts Department completely restructured
its vocal music program this summer, De Moss says, in order to
provide an improved program for
music majors planning to transfer
to four year universities.
Another new feature in the
music curriculum, is the Community Choir credit class which
meets on Monday evenings from
7 to 9:50 p.m.
"My long range goal," she says,
"is to have the community know
about us and view LCC's music
program as exceptional."

Student escorted off campus
Don Reynolds
editor
Fall Welcome Week festivities
were interrupted Monday, Sept.
27, when an LCC security officer
escorted student Kamala Sanders
off LCC property.
Sanders appealed for support
from students over a public address system, claiming she had
been suspended from Lane as the
result of a sexual harassment
complaint she filed in Jone.
In a letter Sanders released to
The Torch, Vice President of Student Services Linda Fossen informed Sanders she was suspended on Aug. 16 for assault,
disorderly conduct and attempting to elude, all violations of
LCC' s Student Conduct Code.
According to her letter, Fossen
made the determination after
Sanders missed two hearings regarding the charges.
Contacted this week, Fossen
would not comment on the case,
citing the confidential nature of
student interactions with the Student Conduct Code at Lane.
On Tuesday, Sanders told The
Torch she missed the first hearing
with Fossen on the charges, but
insists she didn't receive notice
until after the hearing, and never
knew that the second hearing had
been scheduled. She claims she
registered for classes this term,
unaware of her suspension.
The day after she was escorted
off campus, Sanders met Fossen
to discuss her suspension. Attend-

ing the meeting with Sanders was
Kate Barry, as her advocate,
ASLCC Treasurer Pete Knox as a
student witness, and a Torch
representative for the media.
Sanders said she disagreed with
the outcome of the harassment
investigation and reiterated that
she wasn't informed of the meeting at which she was suspended.
Fossen informed her of the appeal process and Barry agreed to
help her with it.
Sander filed an appeal of her
suspension with LCC President
Moskos on Wednesday, Sept. 29.

Old image of women in the work place becomes stale
8 The Torch
Working Women: Image and Reality
Media images of working women tend
to focus on the busy executive scheduling
herself seamlessly between demands of
the office, home and family- with only
the occasional "tension headache" to mar
her progress.
The reality for most working women is
somewhat different.
Women's work lives have
changed irrevocably over this
century; from women being
around one-fifth of the paid
workforce in the first half of
the century, they number over
45 percent of paid workers
today.
This trend shows no signs
of slowing or reversing; it's
estimated that two out of three
new entrants to the labor
market between now and the
year 2000, 80 percent of
women ages 25-54 will be paid
workers.
This change, however, has
not been accompanied by large
scale restructuring of the way
we organize paid work and f~ily life.
Women face the same old obstacles of
occupational segregation; race, sex and
age discrimination; -low wages· and
continued responsibility for families
without social supports or policies that
reflect their choices.
IE
Low Value, Low Pay
Despite media images, women still
make choices within a largely sexsegregated labor market. A system where
jobs, socially assigned values and
therefore income are allocated by gender.
The majority of professional women
are employed in two occupations:
teaching and nursing. Only nine percent
of paid working women are employed in
"non-traditionar• jobs. The majority of
women remain in clerical and service
occupations where their skills are undervalued and underrewarded.
Although the pay gap between women
and men has closed, much of this sup-
posed gain has been due to the decline of
male wages rather than an increase in
female earnings. Women therefore are
still disproportionately concentrated in the
ranks of the poor. Two out of three of all
minimum wage earners are women.
Women of color, older women and female
single heads of household are especially
impacted by this economic inequity.
particularly since the three fastest growing
occupational groups are administrative,
professional and technical workers whose
jobs will demand high degrees of educational attainment. However, "fastest
growing occupational groups" does not
necessarily translate into where most of
the actual new jobs are. Two out of three
of the new jobs created in the last decade
are in low wage service
work with few or no
benefits. For most women,
the primary issue is not the
glass ceiling, but how to
keep a roof over their and
their families' heads.
"Two out of three
of all minimum
wage earners are
women."
Caregiver's Dilemma
Women also retain
primary responsibility for
the care of their families not just for their children,

profitability.
Any Decent Civil Society
So what is needed here?
Some of the answers form the basis
of any decent civil society: universal
health care, affordable housing, adequate
income supports and access to education and training without gender barriers.
Very modest and achievable steps,
which would be revolutionary for women,
include: increasing the minim:.un wage,
access to safe affordable childcare, paid
family leave, a system of part-time jobs
which includes benefits.
We need to revise our notions of
economic development. Women are
becoming the majority of small business
owners, yet often lack both access to
capital and a voice of presence in economic planning. We must implement pay
equity and value and pay women for their
education and skills.
We must support women's entry into
non-traditional fields. Though officially
defined as occupations where 25 percent
or less of the workers are women, they
might be better defined as any occupation
which pays high wages.
A strategy which hasn't seen much
public discussion is a shortened work
week that could leave both women and
men with time for family and community.
Women themselves have taken action in
their lives, they are entering education
and training in record numbers, pursuing
jobs organizing the workplace, raising
families. struggling to move out of
poverty, breaking barriers.
It is essential that public policy support
women's efforts.
Turning to face our enemy and looking for ourselves
There is a saying among my people:
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
When the Ku Klux Klan stated it was
against "niggers, Jews, Catholics,
homosexuals, communists, etc.," I
figured those groups were allies, since
not one of them has ever committed
terrorist acts against me.
Some people compare the Klan with
the Oregon Citizens Alliance because of
their common positions on homosexuals.
I suppose this explains why people threw
eggs and trash, and turned their backs on
the OCA float at the Eugene Celebration
parade.
I chose not to turn my back, saying "I
never turn my back on the enemy. I
watch what they do."
Capoeira, an African-based martial
art, views life as both a fight and a dance.
Capoeira teaches me to look in the face
of my opponent to see ifl can find
myself, and then dance with him.
I wondered what public statement the
OCA made in the parade. Since it used
black voice actors in its campaign for
Measure 9, I wondered: Would they have
black people in the float?
The float came up. As people turned
around, I looked in the face of the enemy
and saw a part of myself. There was a
heterosexual wedding scene; a group of
people playing a traditional, family-value
board game; and in the back, the only
person of color on the float - a mixedrace child, probably a black-white mix.
I wondered, was the child's biological
mother or father on the float, or was the
kid adopted? Then I wondered, how had the child's
parents prepared that child for
the parade experience where
many people would turn their
backs and project vibes of less
than loving acceptance?
I thought of other children.
I thought of the "Little Rock
9" - the first black kids to
attend a white school in 1957
- and of the gauntlet of faces •
spitting on them, calling them
"nigger," as they attempted to
go to school.
I know what it feels like to
often be the only person of
color in a sea of white people.
I wondered if that child had
been prepared to face a mostly white
crowd and take an unpopular stand
before it.
I wondered if that child was the only
person of color in his or her classroom.
Or even if the kid thought of himself or
herself even being of color. I knew
sooner or later it would become an issue
- I've walked a few gauntlets myself,
looking for a friendly face, in a sea of
enemies.
friends or allies tum their backs on us?
I thought about Bayard Rustin and the
March on Washington in 1973. Rustin
was a black homosexual who was
organizing the march.
Adam Clayton Powell, the
famous..black U.S. Representative from
Harlem. told Rustin to
disassociate himself from
Martin Luther King Jr.
because it could hurt
King's civil rights movement if it were known
Rustin was homosexual.

"I know what it

back to the time of another infamous
radical, Jesus. Grampa always maintained Jesus was one of us, because he
went around turning tables on
moneychangers, freeing slaves, healing
the sick, feeding the hungry, keeping
people from stoning others, and saying
crazy stuff like "turn the other cheek,"
and "love your enemies."
I thought about who my friends and

Whether we talk about enemies or
about allies who betray us for their own
reasons, if we are to become other than a
society of clashing stereotypes, we must
take a stand where others turn away. see
ourselves in the face of the enemy. empty
our hands of weapons, and make peace in
a world where we can both live.
People want to help Somalia, Bosnia,
and the Middle East - but there is
enough work to do in our own backyard.

Editorial,
Traditional family values begin with children
Open enrollment at the ASLCC Child
Care Cooperative Wednesday, Sept 22,
was a frustrating experience for many
parents. Over 40 showed up, some waited
ov~ght, to sign their children up in five
co-op openings.
Some students at Lane question the
value of a child care facility that serves
only 35 children.
Sue Ferguson, co-op director, says that
more nontraditional students who need
child care are returning to school to train
or retrain, so the issue of child care will be
one that campuses will have to face.
Lisa Shiviah didn't camp out, but she
didn't get in either.
She says she sees a real need for more
child care at Lane.
''1be children belong to the commu- .
nity, it's the community's responsibility to
care for all the children."
Is the care of others re.ally the responsibility of the community? What obstacles
prevent this? How does the community
benefit from available child care? Is our
community at LCC doing its part?
When Aristotle said that man is a
political animal, he meant that humans are
creatures of the polis or city-state. In other
words, we are social by nature and
ennobled by our interaction with others. In
a civil society we pay constantly for
others, and they for us. Our infrastructure
- roads, bridges, utilities, railroads and
airports - is the result of an enormous
group effort. All great productions of
culture and small pockets of calm
wouldn't be possible without the help of
othezs.
A recent disturbing trend is the
popularity of self-righteous prophets of
rugged individualism - 'a la Rush
Limbaugh - who play on our baser needs
for self-aggrandizement at the expense of
greater good
This selfish line, glorifying a mythical
creature called an entrepreneur, goes
something like, '"There are enough
goodies for anyone who has the selfdiscipline to get out there and get them."

Of course Rush and his ilk on both the

in a tiny global village in which resources
are shrinking faster than the population
grows. With this kind of rhetoric following the Reagan '80s - when people really

pays the ASLCC Child Care Co-op $5 in
student fees each term. Over 37,000
students attended LCC last year. While not
all of these were credit students, most
were.
The ballpark figure for the Child Care
Co-op budget is $140,000 this year. Th~
funds cover the costs of quality child care
for 35 children of LCC students. The
Child Care Co-op also subsidizes some off
campus child care for students.
This year, an unexpected charge to the
Child Care Co-op for a $30,000 electrical
transformer may limit the amount of
subsidies available, says Co-op Director
Sue Ferguson. But if students continue
funding the Co-op, it will continue to
serve more students eoch year.
Shiviah says she's worried about her
ability to go to school. "I still haven't ..
found anyone to provide child care. It's
really frustrating."

"In the middle of drawn-out
deliberations over college control
of student speech and the student
press, Catherine Lauris said simply and clearly that students should
have the same rights on campus
that they enjoy in the greater community; that LCC should not attempt to censor them.
"People in the Board Room at
the time have told me the place
went silent.
"Everyone present understood
what Catherine was saying: The
college must guarantee students'
rights to free expression -even if
their ideas are unpopular with
school officials or community
members. The Board of Education eventually adopted that clear
statement. It's one of the reasons
LCC is a truly adult learning community."
A public service will be held
on Saturday, Oct. 2, at 2 p.m. in
the U of O's Beall Concert Hall.

Former LCC Board of Education memberCatherineLauris died
Sept. 24. She was 75.
Lane County voters elected
Lauris to three four-year terms
between 1970and 1982. She then
served on the LCC Budget Committee between 1986 and 1992.
Lauris worked at the Univer1 sityofOregonfrom 1940untilher
retirement in 1982. She served on
several community boards, among
them the Eugene City Council,
Eugene Symphony Association,
Lane Economic Development
Commission and the Eugene Airport Commission.
In 1984 the American Civil
Liberties Union honoredd her with
its distinguished service award.
But LCC journalism instructor
Pete Peterson says Lane students
might appreciate her most for the
stand she took on their behalf in
1970 when the college was forging its basic philosophies.
