Group pass discussed

Subsidies considered
to increase bus ride.rs
Don Reynolds
editor

In an effort to relieve parking
congestion, a student government
committee is exploring ways to
enhance LTD bus ridership out to
Lane.
Vince Jones, ASLCC Bus Pass
Committee member, says LTD
representative Stefano Viggiano
will meet with the committee next
week to continue discussions
about bus passes.
Lane's student senate instucted
the bus pass committee to look
into the bus subsidy program
offerred in the past, says Jones, to
see if the same sort of program
can be started up this year.
LTD term passes are available
to students in the bookstore for
$54. That price reflects no subsidy by the student government.
ASLCC Treasurer Peter Knox,
who resigned from the bus committee last month, says the com-

mittee originally planned to report back to the senate prior to the
start of fall term.
"I don't see any concrete proposal coming from them," says
Knox, "because at the levels that
we can fund the subsidy, the return is minimal."
Right now, says Knox, a
$15,000 or $20,000 investment
from the student government will
neta$3 savings on each bus pass.
"Now, you see areal savings when
you get up to the hundreds of
thousands of dollars," he adds.
But Jones feels that real
progress can be made.
One topic that comes up in any
discussion with LTD, says Jones,
is a group pass.
LTD is interested in promoting mass transit, so they tend to
broach thesubjectofagrouppass,
he says.LTD feels it's a matter of
when, not if, LCC buys into a
group bus pass.

Breaks deadlock

Board of Education
indicates its choice
to fill Zone 1 seat
Don Reynolds
editor

LCC's Board of Education indicated - unofficially with a
non binding straw vote- the candidate it prefers to fill the vacant
Zone 1 seat is Florence Justice of
the Peace, Cindy Cable.
Board Chairman Peter
Sorenson expressed the decisive
statement of support for Cable at
a special meeting Tuesday, Oct.
5, breaking a month-long deadlock
between Cable and Francisca
Johnson, a Fem Ridge School
Board member.
The special meeting was
scheduled for interviews and discussion, not for any actual decisions.

Students could soon be
heading south for lunch

Cable says her family and her
career are her top priorities, and
that her decision to run for the
board seat in the next election
would hinge on how serving on
the board affects those areas.
Earlier, Johnson said no matter
who the board selects, she will run
for the Zone 1 seat when it comes
up for election in 1996.
The board interviewed Iohnson, Cable and one other applicant for the position at a special
meeting on Aug. 3 I. Board
members split at that meeting, and
could not reach a consensus at its
Sept. 8 meeting.
The board will make the formal
appointment at its next meeting,
Wednesday, Oct. 13, at the
Springfield Depot.

Mexican style fast food franchise in the LCC
cafeteria.
On Oct. 13, a foodservice review committee
will make a recommendation to the Board of
Education that Taco Time's proposal to place a
fast food franchise on campus be accepted.
Last spring a college investment committee
approved LCC Foodservice Director Jim

Wychules' proposal to bring a national brand ·
fast food chain to the LCC campus.
Sandy Ing, LCC's director of Student Support Services, says this summer the college sent
out requests for bids to fast food chains such
asTaco Time and Taco Bell.
LCC outlined two possible options that the
college could feasibly execute:
1). The company could lease supplies and
equipment to the college so that LCC Foodservices would manage and operate the franchise

Disney World of Orlando, Fla.
is recruiting LCC students for Cooperative Education jobs during
its January-March session.
The Walt Disney World College Program will make a presentation and interview students
on Monday, Oct. 18 in room 206
of the Administration Building.
Interviews will be scheduled after
the 9 - 10:30 a.m. meeting for later

Jones says that while the committee is not actively pursuing a
group pass, it is open to discussing the idea.
The total cost of a group pass
is high, admits Jones, but the price
is individually low, even for
people who don't ride the bus.
"I'm very concerned with the
people who live in Cottage Grove
and neighboring communities not
served by the bus," says Jones,
noting that he usually grjves to
the main campus.

The additonal cost to students
at LCC would be around $9 per
term-$3 per month-at present,
he says. But that figure may come
down with further negotiations.
Students who drive to Lane
from out of town would have to
spend around $3 per month in

The student senate tabled an OSPIRG request for travel
expenses at its meeting Monday, Oct. 4.
OSPIRG hunger/homelessness intern Damien Johnson requested $653 to pay travel expenses to a hunger/homelessness
conference in Tampa, Florida.
Senate members pointed out that OSPIRG receives $2 per
student each term. The senate questioned OSPIRG 's need for
additional funds-this early in the year.
ASLCC Communications Director DJ Holbrook moved
that the board not consider the OSPIRG request. The motion
dido 't have the two thirds vote necessay to pass.
ASLCC Treasurer Pete Knox says he requested OSPIRG 's
budget, but claims OSPIRG Campus Organizer Joelle
Cacciatore refused, saying that her superior denied the request.
Although a 1993-94 LCC OSPIRG budget isn't available
yet, Cacciatore says she will discuss the budget with concerned
individuals.
Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator Mark Harris also
requested that student government pay his assistant's salary.
Harris asked the senate to renew its funding of Keri McKenzie

lack of space is forcing the BSU to
share the Student Activities desk
in the Center Building.
The BSU may find a more permanent home adjoining the offices
of OSPIRG in the basement of the

New food choice, but
at what cost to Lane?
Don Reynolds
editor

Fast food - Mexican style - may
soon arrive in the LCC cafeteria.
At its Oct. 13 meeting, the Board of
Education will vote whether or not to
approve a "name brand" restaurant's
proposal to vend food in the cafeteria.
Last June, Jim Wychules, director of
campus Foodservices, proposed the
$75,000 "investment opportunity" to the
Board of Education, predicting that a
Mexican-style outlet would net LCC a
profit in the coming years. The proposal
was one of three ideas designed togenerate profits for the college.
The idea didn't get a quick nod from
everyone. At the June meeting, Jerry
Sirois, who heads LCCEF - the classified employees' union - expressed
concern that classified staff not be idled
by the plan. And Chuck Ivey, who held
the Zone 1 board seat, said he preferred
putting a local vendor such as Taco Time
in the cafeteria.
Since then, a campus Foodservice
Review Committee worked on the plan,
"crunching numbers" and projecting
costs. The committee's projections
indicated that one proposal would
generate the most profit for LCC - the
sole criterion for the selection.
That is the proposal the board will
consider on Wednesday.
But this taco business raises a lot of
political issues which our campus
community needs to discuss openly and
with ample time.
Because the bid review process began
this summer, students had minimal input
to the decisions. Wychules requested
input from students, admits ASLCC vice
president Nancy Johnson. She found time
to sit in on its meeting, but no other
students were involved at all, she says.
So the people who are, by and large,
going to pay for and consume these
glorious tacos and nachos, only had .
minimal representation in the decisions
that will affect them for years to come.
President Moskus says the name brand

restaurant is intended to add new custom
ers rather than shift current food service
customers away from existing facilities.
Perhaps low cost fast food will draw
students in addition to the estimated 20
percent who currently use campus
Foodservices.
Which employees will staff the booth?
Classified employees would inhibit
profitability, with their comparatively
high wages and benefits. Student workers, who make little more than minimum
wage and receive no benefits could staff
the taco cart, and could be used to fill
other part-time openings as needed.
Wychules says he will staff the cart with
some of both.
However, creeping deflation of staff
wages is an issue which needs to be dealt
with. As LCC becomes leaner and more
profit oriented, it runs the risk of exploiting student labor to the detriment of both
students and staff. Students need the
money, but working at low wage jobs can
distract them from their studies. Other
students might end up receiving lower
quality service when frazzled students
assist them, rather than adequately paid
professionals.
Campus Foodservice, which has
always lost money, says it needs to be
more profitable. Perhaps it should be. But
let's remember that public taxes and
student tuition go to support this institution. The $75,000 initially earmarked for
this venture came from the college's
contingency fund: the public's money. •·
Campus Foodservice is a department
of the Student Services Branch at Lane.
How much profit the institution should
siphon from its students - its sole
consumer and reason for existence - is
not a simple question, especially in the
post-Measure 5 era.
However, no matter what decision is
made, the students and others who are
affected by it should be involved in the
decision making process.
The Torch encourages any interested
persons to attend the Board of Education
meeting at the Springfield Depot, 7:30
p.m., Oct. 13.

Guest Editorial

Throwing money at
workers was a disservice
Wayne Troxell
guest editorial

Before 1963, most workers in the wood products industry earned between
$6,000 and $8,000 annually.
From 1963-1968, the Vietnam War created an explosive demand for wood
produc·ts - to fill government orders for military supplies and build houses for
returning veterans. A profit-happy timber industry threw money at me and other
timber workers to keep us working.
This strategy kept us loyal, but encouraged self-defeating living and spending
habits. We got used to overtime pay-sometimes unlimited amounts of it. On top
of the overtime, the companies added bonus production pay.
When I graduated from high school, I was given an opportunity to pursue higher
eduction. I wanted to be a pharmacist, but when I learned that I made more money
than a pharmacist, I decided to continue working in themill.
In 1966, I worked for an aggressive, high-production veneer mill in Roseburg.
The company filled overflow government orders for U.S. Plywood, and produced
plywood for its own customers.
_B y 1968, the timber industry was in top gear, and I was riding high with it.
Working five days per week, 50 weeks per year, I grossed over $30,000, driving
a forklift in a mill.
Let me illustrate. My work day was 10 hours long. The mill paid me a regular
rate for the first eight hours - around $6 per hour, and time-and-a-half for the
mandatory two hours of overtime - $9 per hour. To this, it added six hours of
production bonus pay at the overtime rate.
The total each day was $120, that was a lot of cash in 1968.
In addition to the regular income, supervisors were willing to advance pay or
even loan employees money. One time, I talked to my boss about purchasing a
new sports car. My boss asked me how much the down-payment was. When I told
him, he told me to come by his office the next morning. When I stopped by his
office the next day he pulled the down payment out of his pocket and sent me out
to get my new car.
To my co-workers and I it seemed we had, or could acquire, anything material
we wanted. I look back and see it as an attitude only wealthy or royal personalities
usually display. In my own case, I developed habits and lifestyles from the
prosperity brought about by the timber industry's willingness to share its wealth.
The·banks were first in line to catch a ride on this economic explosion. I found
I could firtance anything I wanted, the banks were never concerned that payments
were too low. They seemed satisfied with how much I was willing to pay, instead
of dictating terms to me. This created a sense of false importance in me.
I acquired many expensive items during those years.
I became an automobile collector, with Lincolns, Corvettes, Camaros, and the
fastest motorcycles. I was used to the best of everything: spacious surroundings,
swimming pools, the latest in stereos. I treated my friends to sport fishing trips in,
ranging from the ocean to high lakes.
I bought my girl-friend the best jewelry available. Yet, somehow through all
of this materialism, I never considered myself vulnerable, like my relatives that
worked in the automobile industry in Ohio, who were often laid-off for great
lengths of time.
At the time it seemed I would never have to worry about money, but now timber
workers are entering mainstream society. The economic ride is over for most of the
companies that employed us. Today, I have to readjust my thinking. It's clearer
to me now why the economic fall occurred, and had a greater impact than I ever
expected. I use .. expected" conditionally, because I never believed the fall of the
timber industry could happen.
I find that the present is more than a new beginning, it's a new birth. Many of
the skills I learned in the timber industry are useless in the high tech world.
Timber workers became trapped in a economic labyrinth through decades of
prosperity. The results can be observed when displaced worker enter society.
Truly, there's a greater issue involved than re-training timber workers. We are
already willing to work, but the stamp of a "recycled human being" is so hard to
over-come.

__ Letters to the Editor __
Child Development Center has day care openings
I applaud your stand supporting the
need for more care for children of LCC
students. There is no doubt that good
quality, affordable child care is a critical
factor in the success of many students.
Overlooked in your focus on the number
of spaces available in the ASLCCFunded Child Care Co-op is the fact
that two other child care resources exist
on campus: the Child Development
Center and Child Care Resource Connection.
The Child Development Center is a
lab school for the students in the Early
Childhood Education program, and
provides 54 full time child care spaces
for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

Perhaps due to the misconception that
there is "no more child care available
on campus," we currently have TuesdayThursday openings in the Preschool!
In addition, the Child Care Resource
Connection provides referrals to parents
looking for child care, and is located next
to the LCC Downtown Center
We all work together to provide firstrate care, and because it doesn •t begin to
meet the needs of our large and growing
student body we will continue to advocate for more child care.

their own interactive video. He

was so impressed with the popularity of this event that he cut his
vacation short, returned home and
applied to Universal for the patent
to provide the program to college
campuses nationwide.
The first semester the agency
booked 110 dates. The entertainment package is now in its third
year, with anaverageof550dates
per semester.
Peter Knox, ASLCC treasurer
says the event will cost the student
government $2,000.
Jeanette Nadeau, ASLCC Cultural Director, says she will post a
list of the songs available on her
office door in Center 4 79D so
students can make their selection
ahead of time and avoid the long

Don Reynolds
editor
editor's note: This is the first of a
three-part Facing the Pain feature
about the timber crisis and its human
costs - social and economic. The
next issue will detail workers in transition and the final installment will
discuss the future of the Oregon
economy.

A Great Chapter
A great chapter in the worklife of this state is on the verge of
closing forever.
Three generations of Oregonians have grown up working in
forests and mills, producing wood
pfdducts for the nation and the
world.
But no more.
Although a major industry in
Oregon, employing over 56,000
people in 1991, the timber industry is shrinking. As the industry
shrinks, workers who lived the
logging life find they must adjust
to a different world.
How did this happen? What
happens to workers and their
families when the economy shifts?
What is the human cost of the
timber crisis?

Timber!
Forests cover approximately
one-third of the land area in the
United States. Of that huge area,
two-thirds is commercial timberland.
Nearly 30 percent of all property in the U.S. is owned and
managed by agencies of the federal government. Alaska accounts
for 73 percent of all federally
owned lands, and Western states
account for another 22 percent-

that means 95 percent of all federal land is west of the Rockies.
While private industry owns
two thirds of all U.S. forest lands,
the remaining third is government
owned. These federal lands are
managed by the U.S. Forest Service - 22 percent of all commercial woodlands in 156 National
Forests - or the Bureau of Land
Management.
The Forest Service allows
commercial harvesting on about
50 percent of the land it manages,
which is about 20 percent of the
total national harvest.
In Oregon, 16 million acres 56 percent of all forest lands are federally owned.
Federal lands make up a minority of commercial forests. For
the past two decades they have
been the battleground in the public policy debate over timber. Most
of the remaining old growth forests are on federal lands. Only 10
percent of the native old growth
that was here before European
settlement of the Northwest remains.

Timb.er Economy
Nationally, one out of 11 jobs
is related in one way or another to
the forest products industry. Since
Oregon leads the country in timber grown - producing over one
fifth of the nation's softwood
sawtimber- a higher percentage
of these jobs are concentrated here.
In 1990 the total earnings in
the U.S. for the Lumber and Forestry industries totalled $22 billion. In 1991, national employment in those industries totaled
697,000.

End of the Beginning
Over the past 20 years, logging
levels in theNorthwest'sNational
Forests have increased to nearly
4.5 billion board feet annually.
Environmentalists sued the U.S.
Forest Service in 1989, claiming
that the Northern Spotted Owl a species they say indicates the
health of the forest - was
threatened with extinction.
A federal judge issued an injunction that froze logging on half
the timber sales in Oregon and
Washington. Dwindling salmon
runs brought commercial fisherman into the fray. They claimed
that logging and dams had nearly
destroyed salmon runs.
Timber groups complained
bitterly that environmentalists
were "preservationists" intent on
ending logging and destroying
jobs.

Environmentalists responded
that most layoffs were the result
of automation, not log shortages.
Mill workers were in denial about
the fact that the best way for companies to increase profits is to
reduce their labor force, they said,
pointing out that fewer people
produced more board feet lumber
than in the past.
But the end of the clear cut is
in sight. Nearly 80 percent of the
old growth on public lands was
slated for harvest before 1993.
In response to a deepening
impasse President Clinton called
a timber summit in Portland early
this year. After listening to all
sides of the debate, Clinton issued
a plan that he said was responsive
to all sides. The Clinton forest
plan hasn't pleased either environmentalists or timber supporters.
Some goals of the plan call for
include:
• reduce harvest levels 50 percent
• preserve about half the remaining old growth
• require timber prices from
public lands to reflect real costs
and turn a profit
• prohibit BLM or Forest Service to profit from timber sales
Under the Clinton plan, total
timber employment would drop
form 125,000 to 119 ,000- a loss
of 6,000, jobs. But the plan includes $1.2 billion in aid for the
Pacific Northwest over the next
fi.ve years.

than any other state. After World
War II, logging really took off as
returning veterans used GI loans
to purchase homes, beginning a
great post-war expansion.
In 1952, loggers harvested 9.8
billion board feet of timber.
Through the next 20 years the
average cut remained around 8
billion board feet.
Intheearly '80s,however,high
interest rates caused a slump in
the construction industry slowing
the timber harvest to a low of 5.7
billion board feet. The result: a
severe recession that idled many
of the state's workers.

The history of the timber industry is the story of private

companies profiting at the expense
of the public.
In 1864, President Lincoln
signed a charter granting the
transfer of federal lands to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. This transfer of public lands
to a private company - the largest in U.S. history - had an
enormous impact on the nation's
forest economy, according to an
"Oregonian" article published last
May.
In 1887, the Southern Pacific
Railroad bought the Oregon and
California Railroad - another
land-grant railroad that ran
through Western Oregon. The
O&C's original land grant required the company to sell 160acre parcels to settlers for $2.50
per acre.
Southern Pacific let the sales
lapse until the Oregon Legislature
appealed all the way to the U.S.
Supreme Court. There, Southern
Pacific lost the case in 191 S. In
1916, congress returned 2.8 million acres of O&C lands to the
public domain.
Eighteen Oregon counties and
the federal government have
earned more than $1 billion in
timber receipts since the lands
were revested. County governments, especially in rural counties,
relied heavily on these timber receipts.
While forests were logged at
high levels, the Oregon economy
prospered. For over 50 years,
Oregon produced more timber

operation to the fast food chain;
2). The company could install its own equipment and
supplies and hire its own employees to manage the food stand
while paying rent to the college for the use of floor space.
Wychules chaired the review committee that analyzed the
two options to see which one would net the greatest profit for
the college. He says the committee "crunched the numbers"
and found the first option to be the best long term investment.
The only fast food chain to that respond to option one was
Taco Time. a national chain head quartered in Eugene.
He says LCC' s maintenance staff woould make the necessary renovations to prepare the snack bar area for the Mexican
style fast food kiosk. The normal start up time for such an
operation would be six to eight weeks, he added.
When Wychules first proposed the idea he requested up to
$75,000 to install the franchise operation. He says the project
will require approximately $40,000 to activate.
Sandy Cutler, LCC's state director of the Oregon Small
Business Development Center Network and one of the members of the review committee, says with LCC managing the
Taco Time franchise. The venture has the potential to recoup
all of the college's investment in approximately one year of
opperation.
Wychules has said his goal in operating campus food
services is to provide a wide variety of food products to the
student and staff population while increasing the department's
profits.
He says he believes this type of franchise operation will
meet that objective.

October 8, 1993

Cross-country stands alone
Kristy Cough
staff writer

LCC's Cross-Country Club is
in a league of it's own this year.
The eight men and three women
who make up this year's men's
and women's teams will compete
in a wide variety of meets since
there are few restrictions as to
when and where they can run.
Cross-country was a victim of
the LCC athletic budget cuts a few
years ago, but Head Coach Brad
Joens restarted the program as a
club sport last year when he was
hired from the University of
Texas-San Antonio, a division II
track powerhouse.
"This year's teams have few
runners, but they would be contenders if they were league
members," states Coach Brad
Joens.
"The only down side of being
outside the conference," according to Joens, "is that we have kids
who could win the championships
this year."
"If we were in the Northwest
Athletic Association of Community Colleges, the men would have
a chance to win as a team," says
Joens.

"And," he adds, "the women
would finish strong individually."
"We have got the quality runners, but we don't have the number of runners that other schools
have," Joens says. "Other schools
in the NWAACC have three or
four times the runners that are
available to us here at Lane, but
not the quality."
"I would not throw any of them
back," says Joens. "They're all
keepers."
Joens adds that the cross-country program is going in a positive
direction.
John Mackay, from New
Zealand, is the top male runner for
Lane, according to Joens.
Mackay has attended a number
of meets this summer and finished high in the standings, including a first place showing at
the Southern Oregon State College Invitational last month.
Joens also to"ok Mackay to
Missoula, Mont. this month to
compete in the Missoula Invitational, while the rest of the team
travelled to the Clackamas Invitational in Portland.
First year female runner Corrie
Underwood is the Titans top runner, according to Joens.

Commentary

Baseball's new look for '94
Marc Smith
staff writer

Next year, Major League
Baseball will change forever.
The playoff system, used since
1969, will end after this year's
World Series. Three divisions will
compete in each league in 1994,
instead of two. Therefore, the
season will last one month longer.
Last month, players and owners discussed the future of professional baseball - and how to
make more money.
Baseball owners make most of
their money in the post-season
from television. Since the playoffs
currently cover a month, the
amount of money to be made beginning in 1994 by the World
Series champions alone could be
in the tens of millions of dollars.

With more money to be made by
all 28 teams, baseball will become more competitive.
Toronto, Boston, New York,
Baltimore and Detroit will make
up the American League East,
while Chicago, Kansas City,
Milwaukee, Cleveland and Minnesota will male~ up the Central
Division. The West will be
rounded out by California, Oakland, Seattle and Texas.
In the National League Los
Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Colorado will make up
the West. Chicago, Cincinnati,
Houston, St. Louis and Pittsburgh
will make up the NL Central and
the East will consist of New York,
Philadelphia, Montreal, Atlanta
and Florida.
The National and American
League each have four teams in

19th. Registration cards are available at the Student Resource Center.

"Underwood is a strong competitor who has proved to be a
valuable asset to the team," Joens
adds.
According to Joens, she got off
to a great start at the SOSC Invitational by placing fourth in the
3,000 meters and fifth in the 5,000
meters.
Other members of this year's
cross-country team include
freshmen Ryan Schulenberg, Jeremy Ravenscroft, Craig Thompson, Joe Huff, Ian Young, Jeff
Sweet and Jason Masch mayer for
the men's team, and freshmen Beth
Cline and Tracy Mason for the
women's.
Maschmayer, from Churchill
High School, won the 4A crosscounty meet a year ago.
The Jeff Drenth Memorial is
the next focus for the runners,
stated Joens.
The meet was sponsored by the
UO last year and featured the
University of Montana Grizzlies,
the University of Hawaii Rainbows, the University of Notre
Dame Fighting Irish and the Oregon State Beavers last year.
The Jeff Drenth Memorial will
be held in Alton Baker Park on
Oct. 16 and is open to the public.

their western divisions, leaving
room for two expansion teams.
This, of course, means more
money for everybody.
The new playoff system will
consist of three division winners
and a wild-card. The team with
the best win-loss record, which
didn't win a division title will
earn the wild-card and will play
the team with the best record in
another division.
If this system were being used
in the National League today, San
Francisco would be the winner in
the West, Atlanta in the East and
St.Louis in theCentral(shocking),
withPhiladelphiaas the wild-card,
probably playing San Francisco.
In the AL, Toronto would win
the East, Chicago in the Central,
Texas in the West, and New York
would win the wild-card, playing
Chicago.
As baseball implements this
new system, spring training could
be shortened, the season could
start earlier and hopefully the
World Series won't end in late
November.
I don't know if this is going to
make everybody happy, but it sure
will make baseball interesting.
