In an effort t0 clean up
and organizc the bulletin
boards m Tcmplcton (. ollcgc
Center Leslie Th,1 t< her,
Program thsbtant, has
proposed ~vcral changes in
the bulletin board policy.
"I hav\? noticed a dear
nt:>ed to reorgn ni:r.e the
bulletin boards in Templeton.
Currently they Me too
cluttered to be an cHl"Ctive
method of communication tor
both on and of! campus
groups, academic and cxtr.l
curricular. The end rc!iult is a
muddled picture of the
communi ty's acti'i tes .1s well
as a massive amount of
wasted p.lpcr/' Thatcher
wrote in a pre!is rc:'lease
announcing the proposed
• • fCVlSIOnS.
Part of the problem is
that multiple organiz.ations
use tht? boards which are not
segregated or d~legatcd for a
particular purpose. Career
Planning and Placement , Fin.mC1al A1d, and the Offtce
of the Dean of Faculty all have
dearly tdcntificd space and
Thatcher proposes they
rcmam intact.
The rcmaming boards
would be des1gnated
.specifically for particular
organizations. Graduate
<ichooJ and Career Planning
and Placement announce­
ments would be on one of the
boards outside the Thayer
rooms. ea~t hallway, SOFA
and Educational Programs
would be next to SAGA menu
boards above the matl boxt's;
campus activites, group
activites and off-campus
activitcs would be to the right
of the Trail Room entrance
hallway; and ASLC would be
to the left of the inside
entrance to the book ~tore
In her announcement
Thatcher pomtcd out that the
Templeton College Ct'nter
Staff docs not want to restrict
or censor informahon "The
goat of thts reorganization is
to roordtnate the efforts of the
cnhre community to amprovc campus communication
about imporl.lnt news and
events," she wrote
Other provision~ would
be that all items must be noted
with the dote posted and
maximum postmg period is
30days ltcms must be plact'd
on the appropriate board wtlh
thumbtacks only. There can
be no more than one copy or
fly<'r JX'r ('vent on any given
board and signs :should be no
larger than 11" x 1 7''. Items
must have a sponsoring
group and phone number
where the sponsor can be
contacted Finally, ,m extra
copy of the notice should be
turned into the Information
DL'Sk, Box 112, so questions
and calls can be responded to
most effectiVely • Groups who do not
adhere to these gutdelines
w11l have tht'irsigns removed.
Thatcher welcomes ideas or
comments concerning the
bulletin board rcv1stons. Her

Alcohol Policy Reviewed
By Aaron Barr
Piot~rtr l.og Staff Writer
The dorm council
pn•stdcnts along with other
sck'('tl'<i ~tudents and achng
Otreclor of Residence Life,
Bonnie Kll"Cs, have JOtncd
togl'thcr to review the
school's alcohol pohcy and
othl'r issues related to dorm
life.
"There has been a
nJllonwidc on-going review
of alcohol and policies
concerning alcohol at colleges
by ansurance companies. It
would be remiss for us not to
look at ours. The pohcy
o;hould .llways be up for
review," Klees satd.
"As far as I know the
extstmg alcohol pohcy was
created by four students and
Ocmse Thompson three years
ago," Copeland Dorm
Pre tdcnt Rocky Baker satd.
"ll was ammcnded last year
and b by no means set m
stone."
In actuahty, the1r task,
accordtng to Dave Andrews ,
Odell Dorm Prt."Stdent, as to
rewnte the same policy tn a
clrarcr mnnner and ensure
that it is followed better
Mamly, the group will
look at the party contract
pohcy "We have had a
problem with information
getting to security and the
R~tdcnce D1rectors that arc
on duty," Andrews said.
"As the contracts are
now used, five people must
stgn their names to the
contract, whtch should make
them responsable for the
party. But then dorm founcil
approve5 the party and the
p~ident Stgt\5 his or her
name to thecontractmakmgit vague as to who is actually
responstble for the party,"
Baker added.
Along with making the
responsibtlily more sp<.'Ctfac,
the contracts may also include
a list of sober drivers who will
be 1n attendance at the party
and also require that a ropy of
each contract be given to
security and the R.D. on duty.
Baker also said rules on
gatherings, which allow
Forest, Platt-Howard, and
Copeland dorms to have a
pony keg without a contract is
"blatantly wrong" as it is
inconsistent with the party
contract policy, whtch allows
for only a certaan ammount of
alcohol per person to be
present at parties.
Andrews stressed
however, that there will be no
btg changC!t m the policy, but
rather changes in how the
rules of the extsbng policy
will be enforced
Bonru e Klet."S said, "fhe
whole thmg is really an
educative process. There's a
wholegroupof freshmen who
haven't seen it or used it.
Maybe if they become more
educated, it wtll function
better"
The changes have not
been made yet because the
group lS debdhng whether or
not they will need legal adVlre
to change the standing policy.
"In our eyes, the policy's
great," Baker said "But it may
not look so great in the eyes of
the law"
He concluded that any
changes made w11l not be
drastic ones. 'There is no way
we want Lewis and Oark to
be a dry campus."

OF THE HILL: Who cares, anyway?
1 o kno" and not to act is not to know:
With apolog1e!\ to both my hlgh school
English teacher (who taught me never to
begin an essay with a quote) and to last
term's &sic Inquiry c;tudent .. who are JUc;t
recovering from Burgu s Dtlughlc, thi-.
week's column will explore the little cryptic
phrnsc above. Like magac, if you read at and
throw a Uttle bit of context around it, it Is
transformed lnto a directive about the
potential of humanity, and how the
education that we recclvc here on the hill
might poc;c:ably have a bit more significance
than thc~ultant salary that we will be able
to pull down within a few years of
graduahon
I o know and not to act is not to know:
At Lewis and Oark. we are engaged
wholesale m the business of knowing. Our
knowledge com~ at a very high price (now
upwards of 550,000 in total), and it exacts the
strain on us of the under--tanding that on our
tCSt!'t, the answe" that we ",11 be asked to
give are to be right. Our library i!> OJX!n
oround the clock to facilitate this "knowing,"
and we are blessed with an extr.~ordinarily
talented body of faculty who are further
<~long in their pursuit of knowing, and arc
willing to share what they know so far. By
the time we graduate, we are CXJX>eted to
know a great deal about some field, and
through a seminar or thcsts, ore to prove that
our knowk>dge is worthy of its formal
recognition by theire.tituhon. Then we may
beat pc:-ace in the knowledge that we know.
"To know and not to act is not to know."
It is, as st sounds, it cycle Another way of
describing it is the word pra.xit. Braziliiln
educator Paulo Fretre defines praxs~ as the
continuou cycle of Dctson and reflection that people must follow u they arc to know
For people pursumg change at any level,
praxis i& a necessity Thinkang about
change, without taking concrete steps
toward the end, obv1ously won't do much
In the same way, however, actang on
~mcthing without thinking abou~ all the
ramif1cat10ns will often lead tn less
productive directions and waste time
You know that the library is not the
ideal student gathering place, for once in
awhile, a few people like to study quietly
there. What other options are available?
Dorm restaurants close at mtdnight, and
dorm lounges aren't Ideal for bnngmg
together a wide variety of people from
acroo;,o;. campu~ and off campus. For a
num~rofyeal'!> , there has been thought and
discusc:ion about the possibility of the
development of a student union, but little
concrete action has bt.:oen taken. Thought
and discussson may produce good ideas, but
not butldings or l'tudent area~ . However,
LC has a good track record of production
through pmxi~, as studentc; have thought
a.nd .1ctcd in order to create the Student
Acadcmtc Affa1rs Board, convert the library
to a 24-hour facahty, and most recently,
mobili:rcd to convince the College's Board o(
Trustees to divest the institutions financial
holding!> from comp.1nies operating in
South Africa
"To know and nottoactto; not to know."
At this imtitution, gowrnance ts the key
question of the day. At present, the Colk'gc
as operating under emi!Tgency documents
that allow ultim:.tcpowerto be placed in the
President (operating for the Board of
Trustees). However, the Board created a
governance task force that has been working
to create a workable governance structure that is more mclusivc Several faculty
members are al-.o writing an alternative,
streamlined faculty governance document .
Conspicuously absent from the proceedings
as a whole arc the voices of the students.
Most students know that the governance
revision is taking place, but without acting
upon this knowledge, we may rest assured
th.lt the o~her constituencies of the College
will act to protect their own interests, often
leaving students back in the classrooms . As
I wrote m this column two weelcs ago, the
various constituencies of the institution
believe that they arc acting in the best
interec;ts of the students I do not queshon
their motives, but I am troubled by the fact
that so (ew students ever bother to tell the
other conshtucndC$ what students pcrceJVe
as thctr own needs and interests
At pre-.ent, there is no viable body by
which the students may make their will
known to the ~t of the mstitution. As the
Bo.lrd set a deadline of January 31 for
c;uggcstion-. about mshtutlonal governance,
It IS already too late for students to
participate in the proc:~ of determining the
College's governance structure Only a very
few students who were disturbed about the
luck of direct student involvement in the
institution 's dccasion making process were
able to convey some ideas to vanou" faculty
mcmbef'), and not without some reststance
on the part of several faculty who do not
n~sarily beheve that tt as one of the roles
of a student to determine governance No
formu.l organization exists at present with
the potential to "tate otherwise It is up to the
andividual c;tudents to know, act on their
knowledge, and learn from their octions
how to clium G role in the determlnanon of
the path of the College. SUSA thanlcs,

Mi<o<.IS'-PPI could, economically
~pcak1 ng, be a t h1rd world
country. The inpc~nal nature
of 't1x is, I believe, one of thetr
more attractive feature. c; Amer·
1Ciln,, who generally would
rather read the sports page than
the l'Ciitorial page, do not like to
be dri\wn too close to complex

best Interest to block much of that
mformahonout Amenc:ans have
become like police officers who,
having heard lt all before take on
a "just-gtvc-mc-thc-factc;-Ma'amft

One of the moc;t dangcrouc;
results of th1" attttude arc the
inferences gleo1ncd from stix;
bccau~ less than ten percent of
college -.tudcnt' are black, thic;
meanc;. black people do not want
to go to college as much ac; other
pt.'<>plc Obviously thic; lc; wrong,
but it prov1dc'> a crude example
of the power of statistics to make
a potnt. I am c;urc we have all
been warned agrllnc;t bcheving in
absolute knowledge , abc;olute
perfection, or absolute anything
for that matter(and tfyou haven't
been warned. I recommend the
film ''Knowledge or Certainty?"
Yes its the film most of you • B.l.ers will rue until the day you
think about it) and thio:; warning
'ihould extend to statistics ac; well.
Since complex problems can be
displayed as cartoon bar grilphs
in USA Today, which arc often
made to appeal to the lowest
common denominator, <.tix have
a coerovc power all their own. This power was implicitly
rccogni.ZI'(I by the government
recently when it asked news
broadcasts on the west coast to
delay reporting pre'>tdentlal
election results on the ea!>t coast,
all this because people, after
sccing the shx, wtll vote for the
candidate they expect has a
chance, not the one they
necessarily wont to win.
Also, stix ~nd to underscore
the human s1de of an issue,
sub tituting a detached and
reasoned approach for an
emotional one To read u bar
graph and determine thnt spouse
abuse is a problem obfuscates the
normal personal emp.tthy one
would usua1ly koel if hefo;he met
a victim, or read or watched a
more personalized account.
Now all of this is not to <.elY
that shx are inherently evil. In
fact, tl seems they arc ot the
utmost importance when
di~ussing 1ssues lhat areab tract

the po1nt about helping the

and this thought 1s mtcrcsting.
First there is the valid point
that any help ts good. Donations,
ranging from clothing and food
to actual time is helpful to them
and certainly should not be
discouragt!d .
The point t wish to make is
that the homeless arc on the
street5 for a reason. Most are not
there by choice. My argument I

donations Is getting at the effect.

Uy Melissa Lim
Piom•t•r L.og Staff Writer
Although carousels are
ma1nly cn)Oyt'<i by youngsters
as a form of fun and
cntcrhtinmc nt, the Portland
Carousel Museum, formed m
1984 and the first of its kind, is
also mtercstcd in helping to
pre;crv~ the wooden carousel
and educate the pubhc to the
significance of the wooden carousel.
According to ( arol
Perron, owner of the Portland
Carousel Muscumand three of
the five operating carousels in
Portland, only about 170
carousels arc still opcrc1ting in
the United States. Now being
made of fiberglass , animals in
carousels were usually made
from wood and are becoming
scarce because they arc
collector's ttems. Thus, the museum is
trying to preserve the wooden
carousel and as Perron c;ays,

carousel located at Oaks
Amusement Park has been in
operation since 1923. All
remammg four carousels have
been in operation since the late
1970s and mid-1980s .
Each of the five carousels
is special and unique in its own
way. For instance, the carousel
found at the Forestry Center is
the largest portable carousel
currently operating in the
United States. At Burger 1Gng,

LAST YEAR. the Pacific Northwest Bell Portland I ld~:>r l
Track and Field Meet was sold out 1 didn't have tickets.
1 was dett'rmined to go, as was another freshman runner
We con vi need an older buddy to go wath u:> In our attempt
buy tickets from someone outsidt' the Memorial Cohseum.
Our older buddy (who comes from Reno, Nevada) w~d
less ophm1st1c about our chances of picking up extra uc•~ers
Experiencing many sporting events in California, I felt lhc1-el
would plenty of opportunities to buy tickets. ''We might
have to pay over face value", I told the two of them, "but
get tickets."
That was the last accurate assumption I made for tnel
remainder of the night.
You know, 1 was a virgin at this sort of scalping ~tuff.
WearrivedattheColiscumaboutanhourbeforcthe~~t.l
The other freshman (who comes from unincorporatt'd
Jefferson County, Colorado) and I turkoo in behind ourol
buddy who walked holding thn-e fingers of h.is right hand
upward.
As we neared the arena two men stopped us in the
of three flights of stairs. They told us they had three reserved
seats for sell for $15(rescrved seats were $10 at face value)
each. My older buddy, the other fresJvnan , and 1 all pulled
a twenty doUar bill from our wallets(WHY?77). We handed
the $60 to one of the men.
'Where are the seats?" I asked.
"Theyre reserved, man," the taller man responded .
'Let's have the tickets, now," my two campamons and I
requested .
"Let me get your change ·• the shorter man said, "I get
your change from my homey over there."
We begm to walk. "Just giVe us the ttckets, and then we11
get the change," my older buddy said.
"O.K ",the two men answered, "but we have to get away
from here."
The shorter man continued, "I got busted out here last
week."
"I'll shp the tickets in your back pocket when we get
around thts corner," said the taller man to me.
Now, T thought the guy wasgomg to go for my wallet too.
I knew we were in trouble by this time, but that was about the
extent of my knowledge . We had crossed a street, and the
taller man kept asking my older buddy if he wanted to trade
his jacket for some crack.
"l had a jacket just like that, man," he remarked , ''Did you
steal that?"
''No, this was a Chnstmas gift,'' I said, and I wondered·
he celebrated holidays
The next thing 1 knew the two men stepped onto a bus,
and l followed for some unknown reason By this time my
older buddy was no longer our leader. He and the other
freshman huddled together two rows back from my bus seat
ta I king to theta Uer man. 1 kept an eye on the shorter man who
sat across from me (not like I was a threat to do anything> . I
knew, by this time, that neither of the men had any tickets,
but my pursuit continued . I still don't know what 1 was
pursuing .
1 overheard the taller man advising my two friends on
what to do when they got off the bus. ''You in the bad side
town. You don't talk to nobody, and you don't even look at
nobody. lf somebody starts getting crazy on you, you put
your money in your shorts and get the helJ out of there."
The shorteT man kept assuring me that he was going to
give me the tickets when we departed from the bus. The five
of us stepped off the bus. We walked crossing some streets
until the shorter man and I paired off. '1ust give me the
tickets," I said.
.. O.K.,'' the shorter one said, "but don't start getting crazy
with me. You know, I got a gun."
I turned around and walked briskly back towards my two
friends passing the other man. My friends asked me ill had
the tickets. I responded harshly, and we walked faster than
before all the way back to the Coliseum.
During the walk, I kept trying to justify the act of the two
men and defend our own stupidity. 'That's their job. That's
their role in society. I feel as though l' ve made a contribution
to the lower class. What corruption!"
We returned to the Coliseum, and found a way into the
meet.
THIS YEAR, the three of us bought tickets ahead of time I
only to obtain three extra complimentary tickets on the day
of the meet. The meet was not a seU out. After a feeble
attempt at scalping, the three extra tickets became our
souvenirs.
By the way, we didn't 9ee the two men this year, though
we were."t't really looking for them.
I guess sports aren't all fun and games, not even for the Lady.

the word conjures up thoughts of
a brawling battle of tackle the pill
with postgame beers for all.
Rugby is this in part ~ yet there is
much more to what many
consider one of the world's most
• • cxaong sports.
In the past few yeaTS, Rugby
has evolved into a serious sport
in the United States. Here •at
Lewis and CJark, the
"Rockjaws'', as the team is called,
h.ave made strides as well. Their
exploits on and off the field have
given them an infamous
reputation from Portland to
Missoula. The '1aws" have come
from the depths of Oregon
Rugby to become the number one
rated college team in the state.
Through the hard work and
determination during a tough
fall schedule, the "Rockjaws'
were able to gain the respect of
the best dubs of the west.
The excitement on the team is
high in anbdpation of a fantastic
season in 1988. The "Jaws" begin
their season Saturday against an
inexperienced University of
Portland side. The game, as well
as the activities afterward, will
