often let our cnthusia~m either run amok or get wasted in wholly non-or
counter-productive de.monstntion!' .
We rcttntly had a campus-wide Earth Day c:cl~bnatton It was well­
advertJ~ and promoted r\1\ally, we would have a chance to phys~c.ally
!-how our <>upport for all the verbal argument., we'd made m ~ppos tt ton of

acquittal of the four wh1te policemen m the beating of black motonst
Rodney lJng In <>tark contrast to the Earth Dav reachon!>, the LC commu­
naty expertenced a ground swell of popular o~c:ttvity Thcro ~sa forum
held regarding reactions to the riots. and tt was filled to c:ap.lctty Students
were angry and they let the community know, both m the forum and
through the scrawled m~sages that gyac:cd campus walkways and build­
mgs.
However . the angry, destructive reactions that werecxpresSt.'<i tn the
chalked gyaffih did not serve much of a purpose. It was if, in our confusion
and anger. we lost all sense o( constructive political mohvanon 1t was as
if w~ were blinded angry animal~ . hurt, abused and completely lost for an
clkctivc method of dealing with our pain. The only thing the chalk
rclii!'VOO was the immediate frustrations of the peopl\! who took chalk in
hand.
In the face o( 50 many patnful angcnng 'iC>Cla.las<:ues, what we need is
~ fine balance between apathy and uncontrolled emotion We can express
thto: balance in the upcoming AIDS Awarcne5s Day that will be held on
Wl!dnesday May 13. like environmental aCtlvtSm and the pen:eived
~al inequality of the los Angel~ rioting, AIDS is an issue that can affect
everyone. Stl.tdents will get another chance to constructively util12e their
emotions in a mor~; realistic. productive way.
Thilt tnvolves attendance, participation in a diSCUS!'Iion panel and
especially, awareness oi the dangen: of contracting AIDS. The message
involved is a very important one. AIDS has affected mllbons of people of
all ages, naces, ~'\Lll oncntarion and social class Yet many people
continue to take great risks that could expose them to this diseabC,
Like Earth Day and th~ fora regarding the L.A. nots, the AIDS
Awareness Day has significant importance to t.-veryone . It u; tmportant
that~;" and Clark ~s students practice what they preach; we cannot say
th.lt we arc concerned with aD of th~ events if we only react to them in
apathetic or overzealous and short-hved rc5ponses Let's channel our

Student dissuades self-designed majors
To the Edilor:
Lewis and Oark enticed me
four y~rs ago wtth splashy cata­
logues and post en; telling me that I
could be 'One of a Kind' if I went to
school there Being a naive high
school senior I bclleved lC s propa­
ganda because 1 wanted to be my
own person when 1 got to college
and l thought Lewis and Clark
would be the place. After about a
year 1 decided cxadly what I wanted
to study. film and anthropology and
that only had one inhCJ"Cnt prob­
lem, there aren't any film <nurse at
LeWis and Oark. Reading through
that old splashy catalogue I realized
that 1 could design my own maJOr
tnoorporatlng all discipllne5 that 1
wanted to study Since then I have
only run mto mountains ol red tape
and little or no support from the
college.
First of all my proposal was
lost with in theseaofpapcrworkthc
college generates the term belore I
headed overseas. I spent half of my
time tn Europe wondcnng If my
maJOr would < . .>vcr be acccpll:'d by
thccommittce l should have known
then that self dcsigmng in bad adca
but by that tlmc it wa11 too late.
Finally my maJOr pa~ . not a sec­
ond too soon When J want«! to
take a film course at the Pacific
Northwest College of Art this year,
Lewis and Clark tclus.xl to pay for
it even though that course wM ap­
proved my the self design major
committee. lam notallowl.d to11how
my senior product at the 5enior art
s}low in Junl! because I'm not an art
maJOr. even though my project 15
photography and the art depart­
ment ts a large focus of my mapr. I
spent thcmaprity of my Ia t year in cnllege worldng on my seniOr proJeCt
which my three faculty advisers
wcro supposed to help me formu­
late. But mnce a self design major
student does not briAg any money
to the established departments the
scrvioos of my advisers were above
and beyond what the cnllege ex­
pects from their positions. Some of
my advisers were helpful (thanks
Stuart and Deborah) and others it
was like pulllng teeth to get them to
help me. I'm not paying a small
lortum~ to go to school hero and
have to lorc:c rny professors to help
me.
Throughout my time here at
Lewis and Clark I have felt the cnn­
tradictions this institution displays.
Our slogan is," one of a ldnd, '' but
since I havedeviated from the norm
my studies and Cacultyrelationslups have suffered. The college samply
does not know what to do with self
designed maJOrs When I asked
about receiving honors of my ~
nior project no one knew what pro­
cedure to follow Lewis and Clark
doesn't realize how difficult it 1S to
formulate a specific area o£ study
without the support from a depart·
ment Yes I know that I could have
done an established rnajor, how·
ever I thought that I would benefit
from using all my resources at a
liberal arts school and combine scv·
eral disciplines. But it just didn't
work out that way Lcwls and
Clark should embrace those of us
who try to be one of a kind or not
give us that option.

I was not the youngest mem·

not tmmediatcly buy the relentless

he is a musical mnster and poet1c

American writcn. This h.u noth~

dresses a W\iwrsal mysticism akin

like Rimbaud, In a language no
