suggcs1ing there might be a link between the deaths and the buildi'n!,l's poor vcntiln1ion," the Torch reponoo in its June 6 issue.

According to a Torch article, one employee quit her job in 1hc building, rather 111an risk her hcoilh further.

LCC was ci ted by the Oregon state Occupational Safety and Healih Division for trace amounts of lead found in dust. fai lure of lhe college to estnblish a safety committee and failure to properly train lhc building employees abou1 1hc hazards of lead exposure in the workpla.ce, lhe paper reported. It said thni repeated 1csting had resulted in federally aeceptatble levels. however. 1esting of the bnsemcnt welding lub resulted m an unaccep1able lead content in 1hc dus1 there.

Another apparent cause of health hazards in the LCC building is 1he basement wclchng shop.

In 1983, indumial hygienisL\ with the State Accident Insurance Fund, LCC's insurance cnrTier. advised the college 10 slop operating welding equipment without direct exhaust vcntilotion. In 1990. the agency snid, "stainless steel welding performed in the lnb ca n genernte hexa,•alent chromium, o concer,causing agent," according to 1hc Torch.

"In anot her letter from SAi P, SA IF

lndustrinl Hygienist Kathy Browning soid.

"Clearly this building is not an appropriate design fo r a weldin g shop; in du stria l applications such os this should not be located in the basement of an office building." the Torch rcponed.

LCC has made about $60,000 wonh of improvements to the bui ldi ng d ue to employee complaints.

"The improvements come after outcry rrom several college employees who work on 1hc second noor. situated directly above 1he (welding) lab. In past years the employees complained of common hc:ilth symptoms such as headaches. nausea. diainess. sinus irritation, itchy eyes, and fatigue. Similar complaints have been made over 1he last IO years," the Torch rcponed.

The paper said some employee reports may have been ignored because they were labeled "psychosomatic" complninlS from "hysterical women."

I.CC rcnova1lons include moving on air intake vent, which was fom1erly nt ground level, 10 the roof level of the building, replacing II saw blamed for crcoling smoke and fumes, purchasing porrnble cxhous1 units for welding booths, replacing ceiling tiles and changing and monitoring air filters.

Statement, procedure being altered

by Valerie Parr Senunel Reporter

Debate surrounding the library statement of purpose has illuminated rocks in the path which a document must follow before it is implemented into colle ge policy. The College Senate, the administration and the board of 1rustees are working together to improve the procedure and smooth the document"s journey to the colh:gc policy manual.

In response 10 the unnnimous ,•ote of the College Scnntc, NIC Presiden t Robert Bennett presented the library statement of purpose drafted by th e Library Affairs Committee to the board or trustees at their Oct. 23 meeting. According to Curi Nelson. chainnan of the committee. library policy is based on the prcmi~e set fonh in the preface of this two-page document Gennett felt that thr statement was too lengthy and presented his own four-

paragrnph draft of the statement to the trustees. Nelson felt that the shorte r statement was too generic.

"When I look at statemen ts like that. 10 me, it looks like you copied it out of some body else's book,'' he soid ot the meeting.

Smee the issue was one of format ra1her than one of actual policy. th e board of tru stees voted to table it while a formni is drawn up.

"If we',•e been working on this for two years, I don't think o ne more month will hurt." said Jack 13eebe, chairman of the board.

Bennett hos given Joe Cheesman. director of humnn resources. the job or dr:if1ing the fonnut, wh,ch wil l serve for "statements of purpose. or mission. or goals. for organizations or groups." according 10 Nelson. After the formot is drafted. Bennett will present it to the College Senate for

nppro,val. ns with any policy document.

The combi ned efforts of the college administration and Library Affairs Committee will go into rewriting the library stntement of purpose occording 10 this new fomin·t.

Nelson wonts the statement in the college policy mununl 10 be "substantive nnd mcn~urnble"' ond to renect the goal~ of the library.

"W'e want a s1rong docurnen1." he explained "The goal or thi s library is to be a lender in the Northwestern United States, a model for 01her libraries."

According to Nelson. this means. "lots or technology. It 's extremely importan t for young studen ts. who are trying to mul..e decisions on the envi ronmen t. poliucal structures, social issues, etc., to be able to access inforrnatton for convenient, thorough and quick research."

EDITORIAL

Former KK~ leader's campaign success asks serious questions When David Duke announced his aspirations 10 become 1he nex1 governor of the s1a1c of Louisiana. public rcac1i on might have been similar 10 1he guarded amuse111en1 seen during ecccn1ric comedian Pat Paulson's presidential campaigns; ii mighl have been--bul ii wasn'l.

The frightening 1ru1h of lhe mailer is 1ha1 Duke is looking like he just migh1 ge1 enough voles 10 win. The story reads like a scripl from a movie aboul some twis1ed, altcmale reali1y--no1 lile the fronl-page slory in lhc morning newspaper.

What, 1hen. does 1ha1 say about 1he human condi1ion in Louisiana, lhe nation and. inevirnbly. lhe world we live in?

Nol 100 long ago, a man named Kun W:ildheim ran for the presidency of Austria. ll was soon aflcr discovered tha1 he was a Nazi during WWII. guilly of God only knows whal atrocilies--the discovery mighl have ended his attempt to become the chief executive of a country which i~ generally respected in 1hc

global community; it migh1 have ended it--bul ii didn't The ghas1ly discovery actually increased Waldheim's popularity rating; he went on 10 win the elec1ion easily.

If 1hcre is onc- albeil backward- ray of hope in the Duke debacle, i1 may be tha1 the citizens of Louisiana. black and while alike, have realized that their voles actually can count for. or. in this case, against some1hing. The fact that the officials arc predic1ing the biggcsl turnout al the polls in the bayou s1a1e's history is encouraging: it's jus1 tragic that it took a two-faced demon like Duke 10 get 1hem out of their caves of apathy.

The lessons 1hey are learning should not go unnoticed by any conscious man or woman--like their destinies. the human condition is ours to change--1he question is whal will it take to make us decide 10 change our world? When will we lial'e to make a stand?

Tomorrow morning. in Louisiana. David Duke goes up for election.

The clock is ucking...

'Brodie' performance A-OK

by Kevin Brown Utestyles/lns1ant Cullure Editor The nm of the NIC Dmmn tlcpanmcnt'\ ·111t Prime of Mis~ Jean Brodie" ~ow imprnvemcm on o fnirly sturdy opcninJ.! night Though 1he end rcsull wo~n·1 quile polished in 1em1s of 1echnical cxccu1icm. its actor~ (and backup crew) appeared to have grown into their roles until n smoo1h palino of familiari1y had permeated 1he performance.

A few nows marred the opening performance- a few Oubbed lines. mbhandled props. hns1ily carried-ou1 Jigh1ing und scene changes-but it left this reviewer with n favornble overall impression. Some colleagues of mine said they were genernlly displeased wi1h lhe performance. though when pressed could 001 offer many tangible reasons. Furthermore, I advise people "ho cri1icize th.: opening nighl to auend a ln1er perfomiance.

Odds nre-as 1hey were in this case-1hn1 the irnprov,·mcm~ will be ~ubsiaminl.

Though. for the mos1 part. 1hc charac1e~ were well1hough1-ou1 in 1he ac1unl wri1ing-and qui1e wellperformed (I happen to be one of those people who arc ex1rc:mcly impressed when somebody does a thing I canno1. such as ac1 in frum of a mob of people}-) have SCl'eral probl.:m~ with the script. Chnrnc1er;. reven.e themselves or prcsem Jekyll-and-Hyde bchuvior. or are poorly used m some spots to render 1beir pomlS. TI1c chnrnc1crs of Sisler Helenn (Li nda B)ronJ and Mr. Perry (Kevin Austin), while a line device for introduc1inn~ and t-onduc1ing 1he transition !>.:tween scenes, seemed 10 speak many 1rrcle,•an1 line~ thni are wri11en for pufl)Ose~of mere shocl.. value (without even calcultuing 1he effect) ra1hc:r 111lln any real conveyance of plo1and mc(sagc. Besides. I'm mod 1ha1 my favon1e ch:imcter ended up ns a nun.

That lns1 wn$ the character Snndy (grea1work by Koren Dennis). o fairly ruthlc~s you ng woman. She delivered several clcvasuning lines 10 bolh Teddy Lloyd (David Gunter). her losciviou~ older lover who's sminen on Jean Brodie, and kan Brodie herself (Karen Bowers-11ood job!), the liberal-minded 10rnlitarinn teacher Sandy·~ "in~igh1" into her fellow, wns 1cmpcrecl by her own coldness- bu I a coldness thm was no1 of her own will. broughl on by her anger at Brodie's mc1hocls and designs. Ironically. while 1he mos1 intcllt>c1uol and most heanlcs~ churacter on the cast, she's ulso 1hc funniest-though. ~ an oduh Sister Helena. she profosscd 10 have no humor, only irony.

Sarah Montgomery. ns the chornc1er Mary. had good acting in a bJd cho.rac1cr. Her gullibili ty and vu lnerability were evidem. bu1 where were her own feeling~ and mo1ha1ions? She: seemed more a ca1alys1 for 01her charac1ers 1hnn n character herself.

The character of Teddy Lloyd. exccllemly played, ,erv1:d no1 only as comic r<!licf but as an in~1rumcn1 to expose Jean Brodie·~ trails to herself. Bui I think that pos~ibly he gave up too easily on the women in hi, life.

1hai he wasn't forceful enough in his a11emp1s 10 hold on 10 his lovers.

And the chnrac1er of Miss Jenn Brodie? Though1fully wri11cn and execu1cd, n formidable woman wi1h weakncs.~es 10 which she wa~ bhnd. A 1horoughly dislikable woman. she was all the more ,ouching in her "destruction·· The~. as I said. are more of n writing or ~crip1ing problem than an ac1ing or production one. The execution of the piny. as far as I am concc:med, was carried ou1with professionalism and is undeserving of any comploin1. though criticism is necesS:tfY (and. in my experience. welcomed.)

"While NIC has about 20 percent male nursing students, Japan hos JO percent," Brogan said. uThere are more female nurses, nnd they stay in the workforce only on an average of three years afler graduation, compared to 18-28 years in the United States. Status of nurses is not high, salary is poor, nurses are very much the 'handmaiden' to male-dominute physicians. and the nurses have Jiule stntus. unlike our nurses.

According 10 Brogan, if and when s1udents are excha nged between the colleges. approximately JO Japanese s1udents will visil NIC for a couple weeks. familiariting 1hemselves wilh American culture and nursing iechniques during their s tay . An equal number of NIC students will do the same in Japan.
