umber Public Information
In conJucuon with a story on drug and alcohol use
at Lewis and Clark (see related story) the LoR
conducted a phone survey of LC students. Meg
0'1 lara, dean of students, said she could not release
phone numbers of students for three reasons:
Concern over the survey method, a lack of
confidenttality for surveyed students, and thut the
Log survey might bias future drug surveys.
The Log obtained the student numbers through
other sources, and was completcdy in lt~ nght ns an
autonomous paper to do so. The results arc not
meant to be empirical, but rather are meant as a rough
mdtcator of drug and alcohol use by students. The
method of surveytng tS the Log'.\ judgement and
responstbility and can be questioned after the fact,
but to wtthhold informaoon on a prejudgemcnt ts
wrong.
Student confidentiality is certainly important and it
ts good to see the administrauon sensitive to it.
However, surveyed student were openly given the
possibility of not taking part (four out of 154
students surveyed chose not to participate) . As we all
know student numbers are avaliable, with no
questtons asked, to anyone contacting Templeton
mfonnauon ln the past the Registrars Office has
published the LC Pioneer Gutde, a comprehensive
telephone list of members of the cornmumty, but due
to ume constraints it was not printed thts year.
The Log, as with any other pubhcation or
academic endeavor, has the right to freedom from
external controls. Thts topic ts appropria te Drug and
alcohol use by LC students is real and 1s
newsworthy. and the Log has a right to cover the
tssue. The administration should not dtctate how
tssues and topics are discussed or written about, and
withholdmg student phone numbers does just that.
Restricting the tools by which the Log is able to
report the story is a fonn of censorship that does not
belong at this institution.

of the h1gh-tech mtssile defense system currently
bemg researched by the United States. Whtle the
U S has spent several billion dollars smce \ 983 on
research and development of such a program, not a
peMy has gone to acwaJ deployment of a defenstve
system agamst the 19,000 or more Sovtct warheads
aJmed at our shores. Although a number of scacnusL~
appose the concept of sLnUegtc mtSStle defense, many
in the scaenufic communlly fumly beheve that SOl
can work There tS another mdlvtdual, however. "ho
is even more certa.ll\ of the poss1btltues for success
• that man ts MUwl Gorbachev.
Smce the mad-1960's we have protected ourscl ves
from nuclear destruction with an unprecedented
strat.egem. Our method or det.e.rring a nuclear au.ack
on the U.S. by the Soviet Unton has become known
as the pnnciple of Mutual Assured Oestrucuon
(MAD) Under this doctnne, developed by former
Secretary of Defense Raben MacNamara. 1l IS
theorized that neither the Soviet Uruon nor the Uruted
States would dare to launch a nuclear stnke agamst
the other for fear of a devastating retallatory stnke.
... privately they (the US S.R.) have
proceeded fidl speed ahead on a
defensive sysrem against the U S. '.~
retaliatory punch.
------------------------------------------------This tdea rests on lhe assumption that our
retahatory forces and command systems would be able
to. f11Sl. survtve a f.t.rst stnke by Sovtet mtss1les, and
second, be launched and arrive at the1r targets,
infitcung "unacceptable" damages on the Sovtet
peoples and mdustry. Accordmg to MAD, defenstve
weapons only serve lO destabilize thts othcrwtse
"stable .. nuclear standoff, because effecuvc unilatcral
defense removes that ''mutual'' from ·~assured
destrucuon ." MAD demands that both stdes agree
Lhat defense will 001 be pursued.
The problem tS that whtle openly the U.S.S.R.
has agreed to UllS concept~ and even signed a treaty
under itS precepts (the Anu-BalUsuc Missile Treaty.
ABM), pnvat.ely they have proceeded full speed ahead
on a defense system against the U.S 's ret.ahatory
punch.
The Soviet Union has always pursued military
strength from a two-fold pe~pecuve Equal emphasis
has traditionally been placed on both offfenstve and
defensive capabthues . Thus, 1t should come as no
surprise that, as repaned by deputy-duector of the
Central lnteJhgence Agency Roben Gates, in the last
fifteen years the U.S.S.R. bas spent approximately
the same amount on strategic defense as they have on
Lhetr well-known Slr8tegtc offensive forces. This
amounts lO an mvesunent of over $150 billion, more
than fifteen times what the U.S. has spent! What has
this money funded? • -"
The pnncipal Sov1et defenstve program ts lhe
balhsuc missile defense system installed around
Moscow, nicknamed "Galosh," consisting of the 100
launchers permitted under the ABM Treaty. The
Galosh system provides a limited defense against
incoming warheads usmg ground-based h1gh-speed
mterceptor missiles. The aulhoritauve pubhcauon
Aviation Week and Space Technology recently
revealed that l.he system as reloadable, which could
mcrease its capabiliues several-fold, and ts a maJOr
vtolauon of the ABM Treaty. The SovtetS have just
completed a renovation of the enure Galosh system
and have incorporated lhe newest technologieS
developed by their sctennstS.
Jane's Defense Weekly further reported last
November that the U.S.S.R. has been pursumg mass
producuon of portable mtsstle defense systems
stmtlar to Lbat of the Moscow Galosh Th1s would
g1ve them lhe ablllly lO deploy a territonal defense
against ballistic misstles in a short penod of ume.
Ciung diverse intelligence sources. the Wall Street
Journal has concluded th.ac "The SovietS, despite
treaty constraints, have begun production of a
nauonwide ABM-X-3 defensive system." These
advances allow for rapid production and expansion of
such a program.
The New York Tim.es reported nvo
weeks ago that many intelligence
sources believe that lasers have already
been used against Afghan rebel planes
and troops.
Russtan research mtO advance technologaes tS nJso
proceeding unhindered . The Deparunent of Defense
esumates that the So•~tets are employing at least
10.000 sctenusts at twelve large laser research centers
and SUt actual laser LCSUng Stles tO pursue research and
development on these promising weapons. The
SovietS have already completed successful anti­
helicopter tests, and Kremlin officials have admitted
to teSting their high-powered lasers against the Soviet "Mir" space st.auon, at the same time arguing lhat
similar testing in the future by the U.S. would
violate the ABM Treaty. The New York Times
reponed two weeks ago lhat many intelligence
sources beUeve lhat lasers have already been used
against Afghan rebel planes and troops.
Advanced portable radar technology and neuttal
panicle beams which are des1gned to "scramble" lhe
electronic "brain" of a satellite or missile's internal
systems are bolh capabtlities commonly believed to
be vital to any effective defense against today's
nuclear threat. Accordmg to West German
mtelhgence sources, the U.S.S.R. 1s several years
ahead in these two categories . The new and advanced
radars at Krasnoyarslc are the latest in a senes of over­
the-horizon radars designed to 1dentify, track, and
tatget incoming misSiles. They are clearly s1gn1ficant
violations of the ABM Treaty.
Some SOl critics argue that, viewed as a whole,
lhe Soviet program is incomplete and diSJOinted.
Hans Ruhle, the head of West Germany's Policy
Planning Staff disagrees, pointing out that: "In the
closed system of the Soviet Uruon ... it IS relatively
easy to deploy the elementS of weapons systems m
such a way that each clement seems of litlle
significance, and sometimes even pointless, whereas
when they are eventually brought together they
represent a qualltative advance."
Just how serious are the SovietS when tt comes to
ballistic missile defense? It 1s tmposstble for us lO
know. for sure, but JUdgmg from the level and
chrecuon of activity visible to mtelhgence so~.
we certainly could conclude that the Soviets are both
senous about 1ts development and opurmsuc of their
chances for success. Russtan General Nicola1
Talensky, one of lhe early proponents of m1ssile
defense. wrote in 1964: "An effective misstle defense
• • • • system puts a nauon m a pos.uon lO assure tts own
security, rather than having lD rely on the olher side's

Let's face 1t, that small-college
mentality should be famshar by now
The athteuc department of Lewis and
Clark doesn't have the luxury of bemg
nhle to dangle prom1ses of athletic
scholarships before the impress1onable
noses of high school prospects as
Oregon State docs No grand1ose plans
for a domed stntium are senously being
d1scussed as is the case at the Un.iverslly

recently occur at Portland State
Umvcn;lly.
If d•v•sson-one sports can be
ctnss1f1ed as big-ume, then NCAA
davtS1on-lhree and NAJA sports could be
uccurately named the smaU-ume. Whtle
the larger colleges are attracting
headhnes and television exposure, the
smaJI colleges arc usually relegated to
bnef summar1es on the latter pages of
the Oregonian. There are exceptions.
Lmfacld's football team, NAJA national
chnmp1ons three of the last five years,
had been rewarded with extensave
newspaper coverage for its continual success on the fteld. ll's a tclhng ssgn
that on the other f1eld of endeavor, the
ncadcmac one, Lmf1cld is cons1dered
somethmg less than a standout

Speaking of allegnl cosh now, let's
chat wath some experts on the subject,
the good ol' boys of the athlcuc booster
club at Southern Methodtst Unaverslly.
Th1s instituuon holds the dubious
distinction of havmg been pcnahzcd by
the NCAA a record seven times.
Accordmg to Sports Illustrated , thts
frequent NCAA anterest prompted one
mlStrcaled SMU supporter to say, "why
do they pick on one small school aJl the
umc?"
The case at SMU tS an exlleme
example of corrupuon. It would be
anaccurate to always portray the
dsvssion-one colleges as the btg bad
guys an black hats. Most aren't. But
all too often, sportS gam precedence
over acadesmc despite cont:ra.ry claims by
college presidentS. Constder that it was
esumated that each round of the NCAA
basketball tournament, win or lose,
provided Wyoming with an mfusion of
roughly $200,000. That's a lot of cash
just for throwing a round orange ball
through a hoop. The level of play as haghcr at the
1nsmutions where they shell out the
bucks for athlet1cs. As a result, college
sports becomes more than a game
between two teams Wanning auract~
medaa exposure and fans. This allows
the mstituuon to rake in large sums of
money. The dollar sign in Lum exerL~

10 the VICIOus circle of big time sports.
It's an easy way to understand why Jack
A v ana ex pressed a sense of
d1st llusaonment upon recently tendering
his resagnnuon as the basketball coach
of the Unaverst.ily of Portland.
SportS 1S a pasume which provides
some benefits Besides the obvious
cardaovascular benefit, remnan such
rewards as the dtscovery of one's own
athteuc skills, of talong part m a team
effort, of learnang one's physscal hmus
and pushmg those lim1ts back. But
when a father says, "my son's a better
person for havmg played football," he's
standing on very shaky ground
ll's easy to lose a sense of
perspecuvc . Fortunately, perspecuve tS
one quahty that ss very much 10
ev1dence at LewlS and Clark.. Tile recent
chatce of Tom Smythe as the successor
to Don McCarthy as head football coach
bodes wclJ for the future Smythe will
not assume the possuon unul the 1988
season due to a pnor commsument to
his players, but athleuc dJ.rector Fred
Wilson will serve as mtenm coach next
year.
Smythe not only posred an
impressive wmn10g percentage 10 the
high school ranks, but hts IOSIStancc on
a proper balance between sports and
academics is encouragmg. Spealang from the expcnencc of havmg served as
an assistant at Oregon State, Smythe
stated tn the Oregonian, "At the maJOr
college Jcvcl, the ta1l as waggmg the
dog. At Lew•s and Clark. football is
pan of the college, not the college." He
funher added, "'we will keep football in

If win" for some Pioneer sports
teams have been few and fnr between
lately, it's nor really that important.

As if it were a
Goddomn gland. by Don Bailey
The students at LewiS and Clark
should be proud of our tradauonaJ
mvolvcment m soc1al 1ssues. Indeed, the
OCliVISL aunosphcrc ts pervassve, the
concern real, nnd the energy com­
mendable. There are, however, two very
real problems Activtsm here as often
mcffectual and m mortal danger of
bccommg trendy. Now, before someone
tncs to hang me from the nearest tie-dyed
rope, alJow me to clarify the above
smtcmenL
To illustrate the fU'St concern, let me
usc ns an example the recent sn-in at the
Manor House. For alJ intents and
purposes, nothing was accomplished
except that the people who work there
probably d.Jd not get as much work done
as they would have liked Face iL people. -m two ways. First, despite the fact that
"injustice anywhere IS a threat to JUStice
everywhere, " the overridmg consequence
of divestment ss financial m nature.
Secondly, u is not a domestically
centered issue. Therefore, amendments m
protest suategaes must be made.
One suggestion would be to hold a
fund raising dnve in order to hlte the
services of an investment counselor. He
or she in tum would present other
opuons to the Board that would be at
least--if not more--profitable than the
ones currently held. If after being
confronted with this information, the
Board still refuses to dsves~ the local
press should be contracted and infonned.
Th1s would give the effon the public
exposure u needs to be successful.
In the second problem, that of
activiusm becoming uendy, the problem
is much more senous. These days, it
doesn't seem to make as much djfference
~~~~as a;~cn~ If anyone thinks that the demonstration

The subject of divestmenl differs from precedence over thou concern for those
the primary social issues of the past--the who are tess fonunnte. This is due to the
Civil rights movement, the Vietnam War-fact that when you don't have n job you are eaung a lot of genenc macaroru and
cheese, you are not feeling parucular ly

be socuilly concerned when theu parents
are paying for the bandanas and

when you fall on hard times.
Another reason for the post-graduation
acuvtSm dechnc is lack of orgaruzation.
The population you are exposed to is tess
homogenous and there are nor the
convienent bulletin boards for posting
notices. This is easily solved by joining
an organszation of your choice.
Remember that there are many
mstituuons whsch are worthy of your

the Amencan Cancer Society,
Greenpeace, the Red Cross, the Amencan
Heart Assoctauon. The Urban League,
the Muscular Dystrophy Assocuwon. and
a host of others. These people need your
time, and yes, your money. As a mauer
of fact, they can get by wath a shonage
of volunteers, but very few urvive
without consistant rehable funding.
Besides dedication, money lS the primary
concern of every organization. You may

lloosicrs is the story of a
small, small Indiana high
school that is in an even
smaller town where three
things arc importam ; fanning,
breathing, and basketball, but
not necessarily in that order.
Gene Hackman plays a one
time "win at all costs" college

Ten year~ truer, he's ~tuck in Indiana.
or course there has to be a
love interest, and Barbra
Hcrshy fills the roll as a
teacher who wants anything
but to stay where she as. And
what docs she hate the most?
That's right basketball, and
especially basketball coochcs.
Since this is a Rocky
spinoff, the team Hackman
inherias isn't filled with world
beaters. The team sums out
wath six player , while the best
player in the state doesn't want
to play. Hackman comes in
with his "my way or the
highway" attitude, and Lhc team
loses its games and comes
close to rebellion
At this point, Jimmy, the
best player m the st.ut~ decides
its time to play, and when the
locals at the barber hop lJ)' to
ftrc Hackman, Jimmy ays, "I play. Coach stays. Coach
goes, I go."
Alright, so he's a simple­

The mov1e m question 1s
Alan Parl·cr's "X" turned "R"
rated private-eye thriller Angel
/Jeort.
Originally this film was
rated "X" been usc of a scene of
sex and blood that featured
PCosby Kid" l..isa Bonet in her
most revealing role to dmc.
Parker was outraged at the
ratings board and said he was
being pcnali1.ed for filming his
film "too well." Eventually
the media agreed with Parker
and touched ore a controversy
that didn't end unut 10 seconds
of Angd llt.art was cut and nn
"R" roLing was hnally given.
The irony is that many people
wall now sec the film simply
because of the ratings con­
troversy.
If that i the case, there
could be a lot of disappointed
people. It's not that Angel
lleart is a bad film, but it isn't
:1 film that i made "too well."
Espccaally not if you consider
that Parker is the man who
made Birdy, a mm that was
made a~ \\ell a a lilm can be
rna de.
Angel lleart, on the other
hand, is a film about a private
eye named Harry Angel
(Mickey Rourke) who is hired
by the my tcriou~ Louis Cyphrc (Robert DeNaro) rn find
a missmg sanger named Johnny
Favorite.
Normally just .J two-bat
gumshoe, Angel is sent to
New Orleans where he soon
uncovers u gruesome set of
murders where Angel hamsclf
becomes lhe prime police sus­
peeL
Along the ·way Angel meets
Bonet, t11c Voodoo princess
dnughtet of Favorite, and oon
they end up together m Angel's
hotel room. This leads to a
sexual encounter (minus 10
seconds) where blood su1rts
dripping from the roof as the
mtcnsity builds.
Eventually the killings
1ntensify and Angel must
wrestle with his own "anity as
he moves closer to the
solution. The final payofJ is
surprising. but the impact tS
lessened due to the film's
acting and uneven pacing.
Rourke is a Bruce Wilhs
act-alike without the humor,
while De iro seems to be
uy:ing very hard not to go to
Jeep. As for the pacing, 'too
much happens too soon at the
end, and it doc..~n't all make
sense.
Still. despite aJl that, I liked
Ang~l Jleort. 1 here was
enough my. tcry nnd suspense
to keep me going, and the
payoff was surpri ing. If you
can Ulke ceing a h~m cut out
of a body, you may iind Angt:l
ll~r.rt i n't all bad. Just don't
expect 1t to be ull good.

cmouonally difficult lime for Crook. who was one of the most
active people you would ever care to meet. Having never
experienced a maJOr injury in his hfe, tho three sport all-city athlete
from Portland's Franklin high school cxpcctcdly didn't accept at
"IL was a shock to me but it wasn't reality. I d1dn't believe it at
oil," Crook says.
So. shoW1ng the kmd of determmauon and dcdtcauon to hmtself
that earned him the Terry Angel award as a sophomore (an award
gaven yearly at LC for an athlelc that excels tn the classroom and
shows a positive, motivated atlltude on the playing field),
Crook began his own rehabilitation. His gon1s were high but
renlisuc.
"Farst, I was going to run. I wus going to run without
limping," he says with the confidence that surely helped him
recover, "Then l was going to pitch."
Baseball conch Jerry Gauo was impressed, but certainly not
surprised, with Crooks' ability to come back from what easily
could hove been a career-ending injury.
"Through competitive desire, work ethics and self-discip line he
came back," Gatto said, "Not many people would have even tried to
come back from that( the injury)."
Oh yes, coming back. One must learn to crawl before walking,
and to walk before running. It was definitely nn uphill battle all
the way for a person who never had ume to s1t for the first 20 years
of his life.
For the first five months after the inJury Crook. was unable to
walk and could barely stand alone. After he finally jettisoned his
crutches, Crook spent another three monlhs walking with a slow
hmp. Four months after that he reached his first goal -running.
Jt might have been discouraging that it took nearly a year just to
jog, but he was recovering and self-doubt never crossed his mind.
"I never thought about iL I hod played ball so long Lhat 1 never
questioned playing again," Crook says.
Complaining wasn't his style either. ond it paid off. Now,
eJtcept for an unwieldy brace he must wear on hls leg. all he has to
show for the injury is a scar from knee surgery about a foot and and
a half long running down the side of h.is leg.
There have been great moments in his career. He started the
opening game of the season for Lewis and Clark as a frc.shman, an
honor usually bestowed upon a veteran, and won easily. Crook
also won a playoff game against Linfield to help the Pia's win the
District title and move to the Area playoffs. In all, he had been a
starter his first two seasons. But., as expected, his pitching fonn
has been slow to return from an almost two year lay-off. However,
now he is strong, in-shape and pitching again, just as he planned.
About Brian Crook, that says a lot And with a lot of games
still to be played Coach Gatto gives a few reasons why Crook may
be playing an important part.
"I could have predicted if anyone had the ability to come bnclc it
would be Brain Crook. He's not even in the st.arting rotation rigllt
now and it's tough for him to sit, but he's not feeling sorry for
anyone,'' says Gatto, "In this lite he is called a winner."
Netmen Lose Three, Now 3-5
The men's tennis team

On Lhe plus stdc for the
