Bus subsidy discussed

ASLCC ignores mandate
Keri Trask
associate editor

Despite a 1985 mandate- from
LCC students to subsidize LTD
busses, ASLCC has neglected to
fund the subsidy-since the 199091 school year.
ASLCC Treasurer Pete Knox
raised the subject of the mandate at
the Nov. 8 student council meeting
when he presented a proposal for
ASLCC to pay $5 to $10 per LTD
term pass. He reminded the student
government ofa 1985 mandate in
a student ballot measure for
ASLCC to fund bus passes and
other LCC programs.
The measure raised student fees
from $3 to $5 to provide funds for:
legal services, expanded club
promotions, KLCC, the Denali,
maintainence of existing student
programs and an LTD subsidy.
The student council began
subsidizing LTD bus passes in

1982, according to LTD Marketing Administtator Ed Bergeron,
and stopped after the 1990-91
school year.
"LTD reduced the retail price
and billed student government
during the 1989-90 school year;
buttheywouldn'treimburseLTD,"
says Bergeron. ''They didn't have
that amount of money set aside in
the budget, and it was kind of a
protest by Andy Harris (1989-90
ASLCC president) because we
didn't discuss the price increase
with him."
"We negotiated with them,"
says Harris, "and their position was
that it wasn't profitable for LTD to
have a program similar to UO because of the difference in the level
of enrolled students."
Michael Omogrosso, 1990-91
ASLCC president, signed a contract with LTD to fund $3,450 for
Tum to LTD page 7

For the ninth time Oregon voters rejected a sales tax. On Tuesday, Nov. 9 Oregonians voted no
on Measure 1, and defeated the
Legislature's latest school funding proposal by a 3-to-1 ratio.
The tax would not have included necessities and would have
provided tax revisions for the poor
during its five year duration after which it would expire, unless voters wished to renew it.
The measure would have
raised an estimate $1 billion a
year to replace school revenues
lost to Measure 5 and eliminated
school property taxes.
Education administrators say
they will now look to budget cuts
to balance their ~udgets.
Governor Barbara Roberts
says she has no plans to call a
special session to discuss revenue increases.
In other election news, the
Florence Art Center bond passed,
gay rights measures passed in
Keizer and Oregon City and the
Dunes City water system bond
failed.

Moskus plans restructuring
Don Reynolds
editor

A sweeping new plan to restructure Lane's management
system and a protest against a
Lebanon contractor dominated the
Board of Education meeting
Wednesday, Nov. 10.
LCC President Jerry Moskos
announced his intention to eliminate the college's administrative
"branches" in order to "break
down some of the bureaucracy" at
the school.
Moskus' proposal would replace the current four branches
with four "clusters" which he says
would be less hierarchical and divided than the current branch system.
• A Services Cluster would incorporate much of what is now the
Administrative Services Branch.
• A Learners' Services Cluster
would include much of the current Student Service~ Branch, but

would serve all "learners" rather
than just students.
• An Instructional Services
Cluster would incorporate both
the current Instructional Branch
and the Community and Economic
DevelopmentBranch. JimEllison,
vice president of Instruction, and
Larry Warford, vice president of
the CED, would share leadership
responsibilities for this cluster.
• A College Services Cluster
would include the Office of the
President.
Moskus said that instructional
programs would be organized in
six Certificate of Advanced Mastery "strands" to dovetail with
state-wide educational reform
plans.
The plan will be sent to staff
for review and revision, Moskus
says, and will probably be brought
before the board in January, 1994.
In response to a protest against
a contractor, the board delayed
awarding a bid to the company-

so college officials can take time
to investigate the charges.
Purchasing Director Lloyd
Rain recommended the Board of
Education award Lebanon Servco,
Inc. of Lebanon, Ore. a conttact to
install a new air handling system
in the Auto Body Paint Shop.
But Mike Carmickle, Plumbers and Steamfitters local 290
business agent, brought information he claims casts doubt on the
contractor's ability to perform the
work. He described charges filed
against the company in 1989 and
1990 for using improper materials and employing unlicensed
workers.
As he left the meeting,
Carmickle told The Torch his
union is picketing LebanonServco
work sites in Eugene and

Lane's recycling program seeks help, commitment

2 The Torch

Collin English
staff writer .
Barrels of mixed paper, green
Snapple dumpsters and paper
sorters are proof that recycling
exists at Lane.
But the persistent idealism and
interest that drives Foodservices,
OSPIRG, Weyerhaeuser and the
ASLCC to keep recycling alive at
Lane is threatened by a lack of
volunteer support.
That lack scrapped a successful paper recycling program that
Chaplain James Dieringer, director of Campus Ministry ran from
1988 to 1992.
Dieringer took over the modest program from the ASLCC in
1988. He built and distributed
boxes for sorting the different
paper grades, procured a cardboard compactor, organized the
deliveryofpapertoWeyerhaeuser
and more than doubled the volume
of paper recycled at the college.
"I was doing too good of a
job," says Dieringer.But the workload eventually overwhelmed him

and the few students he worked
with.
In 1992, Derringer handed th~
operation over to the college administtation, gave away the recycling boxes and watched
Weyerhaeuser take over.
Charles Reid, LCC General
Service manager, says recycling
by Foodservices recycling - tin,
glass, some plastics - and
Weyerhaeuser - paper products
- decr~s school garbage fees
by about half.
Conscious that his department
is the largest garbage producer at
LCC, Foodservice Manager Jim
Wychules is working to make
Foodservices "as practical as
possible."
"I try and offer thinking students a choice," says Wyschules,
explaining that students "vote"
everyday by choosing to recycle
or not "Every little bit helps."
But the choice to recycle or not
is also determined by the type and
availability of recycling containers - a deficiency at LCC according to Weyerhaeuser and

OSPIRG.
LCC OSPIRG/Coordinator
Joelle Cacciatore says the Snapple
bins are good but, because of
their large si7.e, won't work in all
of LCC' s hallways-places OSPIRO has found in need.
Weyerhaeuser's paper recycling program also needs more
receptacles, says Cindy Casey,
Weyerhaeuser plant superintendent
Casey says that most of the 51
tons of LCC paper - which
Weyerhaeuser collects and processes annually - is valueless

"mixed waste." But this could
change, she claims, if students and
staff were to recycle paper according to quality and type, instead of throwing all papers into
one barrel.
"There is definitely room to
grow," says Casey. And the
ASLCC agrees.
In October the ASLCC formed
the Recycling Committee in response to student demands. It's
now focusing on finding a "longterm solution" to LCC' srecycling
problem, says ASLCC Secretary
Jeannee Beauchaine.

In its fledgling stages the committee is working on assessing
LCC's recycling situation, says
ASLCC Vice President Nancy
Johnson. It is gleaning information from schools with outstanding recycling programs- such as
the UO and Cornell Universitybefore implementing comprehensive recycling fitting to LCC, says
Johnson.
"We have to get a commitment
from the students," she says. Kiest
urges students interested in volunteering time to contact student
government for more information.

Herbicides may pose health threat
William Boise
staff writer

The Northwest Coalition for
Alternatives to Pesticides is
warning county residents of the
potential dangers from one of the
herbicides used by Lane County
Public Works in its road maintenance program.
According to NCAP, the product Garlon 3A contains
Ethylenediamine tettaacetic acid
as one of its "inert" ingredients.
EDTA is used as a bonding agent
in a variety of consumer products
including Johnson's Baby Shampoo, according to Garlon 3A
manufactureDowElanco(fonnerly
Dow Chemical) representative Tim
Maniscalo.
The Environmental Protection
Agency categorizes inert ingredients according to their potential
toxicity. Of the four levels of toxicity, theEPA ranks EDTAas level
3, meaning "inert of unknown toxicity," says Maniscalo.

..
fl i

But NCAP's Carrie Swadener
says, "Just because it's in baby
shampoo is all the more reason to
limit people's exposure to iL There
is a study that links it with birth
defects."
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences linked
EDTAwithbirthdefectsina 1977
study conducted on laboratory
animals, according to NCAP.
Vegetation Management Coordinator Mike Perkins defends the
county's decision to use Garlon
3A.
Last year Lane County Public
Works spent less than 5 percent $75,000 - of its$ 1.5 million operating budget on herbicides and
herbicide-relatedactivities,Perldns
defends.
"We tty to asses our vegetation
maintenance needs on a site-specific basis and use the tools that are
appropriate in tenns of the environment and our long tenn goals,"
he says. "I estimate we used 180
gallons of Garlon 3A, and less than

20 pounds of Oust and less than
one pound of TeJar in the last 12
months."
Perkins says Garlon 3A costs
$1,800 per gallon and is used in a
100 parts water to one part Garlon
3A mix. Each gallon is enough to
cover approximately 4 acres.
NCAP is encouraging county
residents whose home or property
abuts county roads to apply for a
free No Spray Area Request. The
one-page request form insttucts the
county not to use herbicides on the
county right of way adjoining the
applicant's property.
The Land County Department
of Public Works holds public
meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. The
department can be called at 3416900 for more information or to
request a No Spray Area Request
Form.
NCAP can be reached at 3445044 for more information regarding the use of pesticides and herbicides in public spaces.

I would have gladly lived on
Sesame Street with BertandErnie.
I would have paid to hang out
with Kermit the Frog and Gonzo
the Great.
Captain Kangaroo might as
well have been my dad.
Each of these characters, in
their own way, were lovable, sweet
and most importantly ... entertaining.
These television heroes had
theme songs like, "Won't you be that there are many others who
my neighbor," and 1yrics like "It's share my opinion.
Yet this obnoxious dinosaur,

light the lights ... ," but never who bears a strange resemblance

Grimace, is for some strange reaYou love me."
son appealing to our children. That
I don't love Barney.
In the last two months I have may be the scariest thing about
heard more parodies of the Barney.
Some might say it's a good
"Barney" song than Weird Al
Yankovik could ever dream of thing there's a character like
Barney-kind, lovable, good hurecording.
My favorite is, "I hate you. mored and always there to teach
You hate me. We're a dysfunc- our children the right thing to do.
With all the ruckus caused by
tional family. With a kick and a
punch and a shove to the ground, shows like "Ren and Stimpy" and
let's run Barney out of town." All "Beavis and Butt-head," parents
these parodies lead me to believe •are screaming, "Thank God for

Barney!"
So Barney isn't as upsetting as
the need for him is.
The television set, made
popular by its light entertainment
on Saturday nights, has become
the nation's most widely used baby
sitter. It has also become the
nation's most overpaid baby-sitter. The price we pay is our
children's future.
While parents work, or watch
the TV programs that keep them
glued to the set, and while the
crayons and coloring books sit on
the shelves, children are forgetting
how to dream because they live
vicariously through the television.
While parents go to meetings
or clean house and the puzzles and
games sit on the shelves, our
children forget how to think because they're being told what to
do by the television.
I like some things that Barney
says, but not the fact that children
are so glued to TV that Barney is
needed. Barney was invented by a
woman who wanted her child to
have something wholesome to
watch on television. Perhaps she
should have reached out and turned
the television off.

different feeling- to forget the
pain that was deep inside his
"not so wonderful life" - to
forget the pain he felt he couldn't

his craving was too strong and
his sobriety time got less and

secret problems.

He didn't start out to become
an alcoholic and addict. He
started out just to have some
fun, and forget for a while.
Forget the grade failures and
the feeling "less than." Forget
marital troubles and problems
with other people. Forget the
child support that was due, or
the bills that would go unpaid
because he needed another dose
of forgetfulness - and later,
the troubles with the law. Soon
the alcohol wasn't working and
he had to have something else.

Patrick's battle with his pain
is now over. Nine days before
his 25th birthday, on the evening
of Oct 19, 1993, he became another statistic. Someone murdered him. In a fight, another
addict stabbed him to death. His
death is a grotesque reminder
that too many people with his·
disease will end up just as_tragically.

Harris says colleges and universities are 10 years behind
high schools in educating students about the painful realities
of alcohol abuse. He's established whathecalls a "safe zone"
in Room 215A of the Apprenticeship Building where students
and staff can feel free to seek

Patrick dido 't know about
Room 215A. Just knowing
might not have been enough to
keep him in school, but it would
have been a start. He might
have found something there, a
way of fighting his disease.
Now we will never know.

It need not be!
Patrick's pain is over, but the
pain of his loss is not over. His
loved ones now feel the pain of
his death. His wife and son feel
the pain. I feel the pain.
His name his Patrick. He's
my son. He's gone now.

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness
Week is coming up -- spanning Monday
Nov. 15 through Friday Nov. 19.
If you have any old clothes that just don't
fit or you don't wear. please bring them to
the OSPIRG table in the Cafeteria. We are
also urging students and faculty to bring a
couple canned food items to drop off at the
food boxes that will be setup around campus
through Hunger and Homelessness
Awareness Week. This is a great way to get
involved and to unite in the fight against the
problem of hunger and homelessness.

If the OCA has its way, it would bar
gays and lesbians from legally assembling
to seek redress to their grievances. Not the
physical gathering itself, but the joining
together - forming a group which the
government would recognize.
While Christians. Muslims, farm
workers, short people, alcoholics, Communists and many other citizen groups
can be legally recognized when they
assemble to petition their government. the
OCA would deny that fundamental right
to their opponents.
The same law that frees the OCA, frees
its enemies.
America. Based on free expression for
all - gays, lesbians and even the OCA.

Government can offer many
remedies to special interest groups that
petition it. But this right to petition
government. guaranteed American
citizens by the first amendment, is
exactly the right the OCA wants to
deny a special interest group it dislikes:

gays and lesbians.

The right of the people to peaceably

fundamental right. That te}Js me that if I

into great detail about exactly what things
will be taxed (although it is important) I
think that first Oregon voters should think
long and hard about voting to have themselves taxed.
Voters who are in favor of the tax explain
that the money raised will go to schools that
are hurting from the effects of Measure 5.
What we should be asking ourselves is
"Are there better ways to deal with this
problem rather than implementing a sales
tax?"
Consumers from Idaho, Washington and
California travel long distances to buy goods
in Oregon because of the lack of a burdensome sales tax. These people from out-ofstate buy things that help local economies.
Do we really want to discourage people
from continuing to buy in Oregon ? Oregonians have historically opposed a sales tax.
If Ballot Measure 1 passes then the only
other state without a sales tax will be New
Hampshire.

term passes $42 for LCC students.
According to Bergeron, no subsidy contract has exsisted since.
Knox suggested that a policy be
made to adhere to the mandate.
ButSenatorChrisGravesqueslions the necessity of following the
1985 mandate. Since past student
governments hadn't followed the
1985 ballot results, he asked, what
would happen now if ASLCC refused to subsidize LTD bus passes.
If the students in 1985 had
specified an amount the intent
would have been clearer, said
Barbara Delansky, director of
Student Activities, "but when there
is no dollar amount it's difficult to
say they aren't doing something
they're supposed to."
A few dollars off each $54 bus
pass would not save students
enough money to make a difference, says ASLCC Communicalions Director D.J. Holbrook, and
he objected to the consideration of
the proposal. His objection passed
in a voice vote.
"I think it sends a message that
ASLCC doesn't want to consider a
bus subsidy, or at least that's the
way LTD may take it," Knox said
to The Torch Tuesday, Nov. 9.
"These people that griped about
this being a bad proposal are doing
nothing to make a new one."
In other ASLCC news, the
