pushed back has chau slowly, retreived a case from beneath the

Well, it wasn't that dramatic. It was kind of sad though As
you no doubt know by now, Amy lS no longer the president of
ASLC, and we wtU miss her Co give her a hug. Fawn Bernhardt,
formerly a Student At-l.arg~ is the new president, as it says m our
consituuon the new prez. must be one of the elected SAL's (Fawn
or Meg) and willmg (Fawn) Let us welcome her warmly
Of course, we aJso did other things last Tuesday before the Btg
Moment It was a longish meeting, about three hours, and, weU,
you want to know about it, and i~s my job as Ivan of Information
and Communication to tell you, so here it is
Vice President for Student Affairs Dennis Madson came by so
we could teU him what we thought of the Student Water Reten­
oon Jetter, and so instead we told him all about what a great JOb
he's doing and what a great school he's runrung Mmmwah.
Anyway We dl.sc:ussed various student life ideas: no mandatory
meal plan, cheaper rooms, apartments on campus, parking lots,
administration meeting with off-campus students in Armstrong
Lounge, having students slgn up for extracurricular activities
during registration, and other fun stuff. I guess you'U see what
happens, probably.
Mike Kelly &om OSPIRG dropped by to ask CouncU to endorse
OSPIRC's safe drin.king water campaign. We voted on it and
agreed to do so.
Oh, you think you've heard enough about semesters already?
Well then you'll just have to skip this bit because it's all about
semesters. It seems student Amber Field has been circulanng a
petition requesting President Michad Mooney to take a campus­
wide vote on how students felt about it. lf they felt ok ibout the
change, fine; if not, the change should be postponed to the SUll'UJlU
of'96, after this year's first·yearstudentsgraduate Thi.t is because
thu years first-year students were not mformed of the change
until they were here. Amber got over 1,000 signatures, and met
with President Mooney. President Mooney said the fint-year
students weren't informed because it was not a soUdi6ed decision
yet, and a bunch of other things you've heard 100 times, and that
she should go home and take her petition with her. Amber has
written a letter to the Oregonian, so take that.
Vice-President of Information and Programming Cary Timm
Inc. took issue with the signing of the letter about measure 9 in last
week's Log. Not theletteritself, mind you, which he himsdfwould
ha~ signed had he seen it in time It SCWlS the Student Represen­
tatives identified themselves as such beneath their names, even
though we had spent hours in the previous meetingdectding not to.
"Student At-Large" is for the time being still thw official title, so
they were •allowed• to sign "Student Representatives• just like
they could sign "Meat Packer" or whatever This made Cary pretty
unhappy, but he had worked it out wtth the parties anvolved so aJI
is well once more
CouncU budget ts under fire: we were told by the administra ­
tion that dus is a Uttle gjft to play wtth that they could pick up any
1 time Smce the student fee is not a tine item on the invoices, they
may be right, but it is supposed to be; so they maybe wrong. In any
cast; we intend to make it such soon. Fight for your right to be well­
represented .
Back to semesters: now that the decision has been made, we
are backering over whether to have a 15-wee.k semester with leas
class tune than we had before or a 16-weekscm esterwith less class
time than we had before. SMB and Council are unanimously
supportmg the 16-week option, which would provide for a week of
•dead tim~· before fmals.
And then Amy resigned. Bummer We had an executiVe
.st.ssaon to discuss Fawn and then it ended and we voted her as ok.
Which means you are s;ill allowed to come to meetings, T uesdaya
at 5·30, Stamm or the Conference Room. Fight the Power. Thank

students could advertise their
books and buy used books for leu

Aaron Barr's style didn't dif·
fer too much &om L:aurie'.s. The
look of the Log stayed the same.
Aaron did provtde a stronger sense
of control as editor, but main­
tained an easy ."tense of humor.
He managed to teach the staff
about handling stress-good and
bad ways
The b1ggest change I wit
nessed, occured when Scott
Enckson took over as editor last
year Scott brought a tugh level
of professionalism and responsi­
biUty to the Log. Hb respect and
commitment to joumaJi!mhad a

On tJus cliy, we don't just
honorthosewhoserve the country
today, but all veterans who have
served our country throughout ita
hl$tory. Geotgc Washington falls
Into this ategory, as does General
Sherman, Douglas McArthur,
UlysseJ S. Grant, and Stormin'
Norman.
It is theK men and aU the
other men and women, names
unknown, that have come after
them, that we honor When we
talk about heroes, these arc the
people we t&lk of, for they a.re the
unsung betoes of our day
Do you rea.Uu that tf it hadn't

those people, some of whom are
your gr.mdfathus, who fought and

Uvtng under Nazi rUle?
We, here u L&C, a,nd aU across

tbe rapect .md honor of ~ry 1992-93's editor, Jason
Kane~hiro, is beginrung to make
the Log his own. The style of the
paper reflects a highly creative,
•breaking all the rules-approach
that is an exciting direction to
explore. This year's Log is cer·
tainly taking shape fast and I
look forward ro seeing editions
this spring to look for the changes
and improvements that naturally
come with each new editor.
I've been trying to think of
the best experience I have had
whtJe working on the Log. Work­
tog on the stonea and Wednes·
day night paste-ups and p1zn
have all been a blast. However, in
the spring of 1990, MGM flew
me down to Los Angeles foe the
day to review a mOVJe and inter­
view the film's stu and director,
Janue Lee CurtiJ and Kathryn
Bigelow Now that had to have
American (f it wetcJl't for them,
we would not be the country we
are today. Although lt may have
its problems, I know I wouldn't
trade it for another place on earth
lt i.J these veterans we ba'le to
thank fot it
The vrterans we honor are not
just the tustonal 6gures I men­
tioned, eather. They may be your
grandfather, your father, brother
oc sister, your husband, or your
wife. There are thou sa nels of people
that ue scrvtng the country at this
very moment. While we enjoy the

ing and thinking as &edy as we
choose, then: ace others out there

we are always able to do so.
Before you pus it off u lnsig­
nlfiunt, re~mber aU the rigbu
weenjoyln this country, and what
it would be lllc.e without them.
Remember the Vietnam Wall
And what those names man to the
thousands of families acnw tbt

Remember the Gulf War and
the thousands of people who
watched loved ones uwcl1 into

Most imporcantly, the
people I have met and worked
with will ttay with me for the

take this moment to say a public
thank you to Laurie Matthews,
Aaron Barr, Scott Erickson, Jason
Kaneahiro , Jessica Lewis, Adolfo
Garza, Debbie Jorgensen -Hall,
Peter Christen5en as well as a
special note of thanks to jim
Griffith. You have all taught me
valuable lessons along the ~y .
Working on the Log has been
one of the most memorable parts
of my academic career. A&er

pan of. 1 will greatly mw it.
Thank you for giving me the
chance to have so much fun.
l •
Ask some veterans to teU you
w~t it meant to them to have
served thell countly
After you thank about it,
maybe you too will choose to honor
and remember the vete:rans of this
country Maybe you too will also
choose to honor dle men who
fought and died in the building of
this gre.tt nation.
L&C may choose to ignore the
day and its sJgrufiunce, but we., as
Amenc:.ans, should not.
One of the fundamental va.l­
ues we teach young children is dut
ucrifice for the community, state,
or natton is a funcb.menw value
that millions hive contributed to
and continue to contribute since
the founding of our nation.
Whether acknowledged or not,
tt is one of the basic vilues of our
society.
Some m~y wonder why it is so
impon.uu to me.
It is important because these
veterans SAcrificed much at theu
country's command and deJCrvc a
day of honor.
I un proud to be and Ameri­
can m rm t~nkful for all that
veterans have done for chis coun­

Friday the 13th-don 't all the
kooky things in life just seem to
happen on these popular Friday
the 13ths?) It seems JUSt like
yesterday 1 v.1·avcd to my mother
and her Kleme.x box at the air·
pon, and boaided on as a pa~en ­
ger nor only to the plane but to
an adventure i A year ago 1 was
sitting in my bedroom staring at
the Vlewbook to ~s & Clark
College, ·azing ac the: beauty of
an unknown world and wonder­
ing if there wa.< ever going to be:
any possibility for me to come
be.re; the prospect of that d1dn't
look so keen at the time. Bur
somehow, it all happened AJ­
though 1 had never stepped foot
to this put of the country be-­
fore or known a single solitary
soul, 1 Jumped at the chance to
come and expenence what
seemed to be the chance of a
lifetime. 1 got on my plane, ar­
riVed here at midnight, took my
taxi, carried my umbrella, found
my dorm., my room, my room­
mate ... my new life.. Whu an
exciting chapter in life this has
been, but I have to go.
Porquoi? Lack of that green uuff that none of us ever have
enough of When I left New
Me>uco, t dJdn't care how much
debt 1 was getting m~f into,
and 1 certainly tried not to thmk
about the debt I was putting my
parents in. 1 was so anxious to
leave home, and be on my own,
and stan m.1king my dreams mto
reality. Nowthat thi! isn't an awesome school It
is. The funny thmg is I bad aU of
these hopes and vastons of what
Ufe for me would be like here, and
t h1 s school hasn't let my
imaginings down one ~mgle btt.
It's just too bad that I don't have
the actual, up front, not gotng to
owe $20,000 after four yean. of worlong in a cheese factory and
going to school, while my mom
was a wattress JUst so I could

M•A·s·H re·
J have reached a
little of that real·

very important
things that 1 h.ad
never realized be-­

Even though
I heard my mom
saytng, -But you
can go to UNM
for free • I was
dunkmg UNMts
not gomg to get
me anywhere "1 feel really bad asking tltem to
take out a loan of $4000 + for
ONE year so that I can be here
having the best time of my life,
while they sit at home watching
M*A *S*H reruns ... " runs and looking
on at my adven­
ture from afar I
feel reaUy bad I
know they're my
parents, and they
have the respon­
slbahty to take
care of me but
then 1 hear my
self saying •Mom,

now. 1 want my
freedom • and
that JUSt ~tab­
&hestn my mind
that this IS my
life, and 1 have to You see, I have
bcencondiuoned
these last few
years to think that a name, or
that a •gooct" school was the only
way that I was gotng to accom­
phsh my dreams, and 1 now know
that is way wrong I am gomg to
accomplish exactly wh.Jt I want
to anywhere that l go. Going to
a good liberal arts school 1sn't
goingtomaktthings happen any
better, or faster
1 am not trying to say that hard work, money to stay here.
So, my dad used to ground
me tf I didn't check the oil in the
car EVERY OTHER DAY, and
my mom spent many useless

International Furor over
Yui Kato
Measure 9, Oregon's prece­
dent-:Shattering anti-gay initia­
tive, had been the most bitter
disciminatoty act ever since the
Nazis took a similar stance on
the Jews in the late 1930s. The
heated topic in this state hu af­
fected many of us either person­
ally or emotionally, and the past
18 months had been a saessful
expenence for everybody, not Just
the gay and lesbian community .
The defeat of Measure 9 proved
disguised discrimination ia un­
necesnry for humans respecting
the basic civil rights.. A hcavy
burden wu finally lifted.
~ an international student
faithfully admiring the United
State1 Constitution and any
fomu of divenity based on free
expression and acceptance, 1 ex­
perienced the peril1 of the resur­
gt'!llCe of human segtegarion .
Measure 9 was another re­
vised form of discrimination ~
quiring the government to dis­
a>urage homosexuality and other
listed behavion . In addition, it
defined homosexuality as abnor­
mal and pervetsc. This meaaure
proposed the disallowance of any
public meeting by Oregonians to
discuu i.Jaues of homosexuality .
It proposed booU by homosexu.tl
authcn be bulned &om ..U pub­
lic libraries, and that~ hiatorical
notables ehlu:r au1pected or con­
sidered homosexual disappear
&om our educational arena.
The victory of thia muaure
would have made homophobia
mto I.w and embedded rwo-Jevd
cirizmahipi.ntotbeConstitution. NO\ Yc:r?owN -ro ~ nte co \A .rr: , I
funhomore it would have made
Oregon the fint state to require
government and public schools
to discourage homosexuality . In
other words., this measure had
potential to commence oataon­
wide human di.scrim.ination
Who could passably make
these interpretations and there­
fore make limitations to our in­
sights to our knowledge? Mea­
sure 9 wU the Oregon Citizen's
Alliance's tool to facilitate and
control our lives under their un­
moral agenda. Thi.l eval measure
wu about to Mfect ow lives and
moral values in our educationl
Why should th~ be openly
discrinunated and feared by fel­
low hunun brings' Why do they
deserve to have their lives re­
stricted and be subjects to public
discrimination?
Homosexu~ls and lesbians
have traditionally been hated and
fared. We, aa fellow human be-ings, should have the ultimate
responsibility to create vehtdes
for mutual acceptance and ac­
knowledge thttr concerns Wlth
open-nundedness.
We cannot afford as a soci­
ety to exclude any of our mem­
bers of the human race from fuU
participation. Labellng any group
as not worthy to be a part of the
greatercom.mun.ity invites blame,
hostility, and rejection. Equal
rights granted in the Constitu­
tion does nor allow special rights
for anyone.
The perils of Mea.sure 9 en­
dangered the diversity of this
school. SeriOU$ decisions by the
atudents were underway to con­
aider transfer, or even migrate
from the state of Oregon. If this
measure passed this would had
been the first di.Jcnmination -re­
lated immigration since the ex­
tensive Jewish immigration in the
late 1930s. This measure was about to change both the charac­
ter and 125 years of dus school's
hiStory
When this school was on the
verge of •change, • I expenenced
some d1sappointmg attitudes of
several organiutional figure­
heads on this campus reluctant
to take official stand on this mea­
sure. Figureheads, or any public
figures, are role models of tbetr
bodies of people President of the
coliege, for instance, should sig·
nificantly play and define the
character of the college, while
promoting positive environment
for the student body, with the
rest of the community.
Unfortunately, our•carnpus
symbol• declared his neutral
stance, simply respecting the
rights of speech of both sides,
including the support en of Mea­
sure9. But wait a minute, should
there be any fonn of ftudom for
thoae favoring diacri.rnination? Should we be: respecting thOSt
who support preJUdice, whtch
extends beyond the realm of our
scope? Or 1S it necessary to allow
those who doesn't make an e£.
fort to work together and res peer
our fellow human beings? And
are we responsible to provide an
educational arena for these anti­
humans?
The theme for Ube.ral aru
educ.atton concentrates on dtf·
fering perspectives on any topic
m our lives At any tlme, the.
topics should be dtscussed to fw·
therextend ou runderstandingoi
life. However, the.re 1S always an
wue which should not be prac·
ttced, or even discussed . That ~
the strengthening or encourage­
ment of separtism and the denw
of any human differences
Despiteourdiversitydefined­
our colJege symbol failed to cluJ.
lenge and openly emphasiz.e
right human morals, the chal­
lenge to our good Judgemen~
sense of justice, and stability
Despite being the role model
this Uberal arts college, be d'nnl'l'lll

HlStory proves that any rv111
of diacrimination fails. We
observed and considered
such coune of action was a
take On November 3rd,
proved it again. Despite the
suits, I am distiused with
lack of support for truly •urn

Letter to ooney:

~II
October 28th when we dld r.aise ow
opinions, we: were told that they did
not matter and to jwt accept the
decision and •team to llJu: it.' It's a
slapintheface not tobccoraulted in
the initial decision, but it's a lock s.n
the teeth to be told that our opinion
about the de:oston does not count.
3) This colle31= 11 gcared cowa.rd
the intemation&l students and thOK
COill.ll\g from othc.r faraway places
such a..s New York, Haw&li, a.nd Illi­
nois. for these: 1tudents, having the
long winter bre.Ut it :a.n economic
blessing since they can fly home: for
six weeks instead of haVUlg to fly
home for threccbyut Th.anbgiving
and four wc:cks at Christmas . It'&
JUSt not realistic to a.slc internation.al
students to spend so much money to
fly home for fow days or fair to these
160 students to ask them to •tach•
or "bum" off people they know to
house thc.m for Thanksgiving a.nd
probably spnng break. Many nu­
denucannotafford to fly home three
times a year, which t1 what would
oc:cw if we changed to semesters.
For a.n institutton that boasts a wide
diversity of students from places all
over the nation and the world, this
proposal seems inscruitive to their
needs and a terrible fhu.ncia.l bwden.
4) Another factor iJ that ma.ny
people nc:cd to work over the Ions winter break to afford the:$2.2,000to
attend Lewis and Clark. ~ you
know, Christmas is a prime Ales
time where ma.ny people are needed
for temporary hdp. Shortening the
wint:Lr break will rnake it harder if
not unpo~ble to get a JOb during
dus tune The additional two or
three wc:clcs in summer provided by
the switch to semesters will not com­
pensate: for the six ~ of lost
employment ln the winter.
5) The competition for fewer
classes with only two chances to get
them a yca.r wiU alto be a problem.
One man who transferred from a
~mester school compW1led of sign­
ing up for 6ve classes and receiving
only two of them.
6) It may be hwsa.y, but many
professors have mentioned that by
the change to semesters; we will need
to obtaln (or build) 55 new dus~
roouu. We wonder iC the: money to
build these new classrooms is com·
ing from our tuition
7) Further, we 3le confused
that lf a prinwy re.uon to ch.a.n&e to
umesterl is more time to study sub­
recta lndepthly, why is the~ more
tota.l annualtn<IIS$ time under tht
cwrent trimester system? For ex·
ample, under the 16 week semester,
there are 20,160 minutes; under the
IS week semester, there are 18,720 ~n ~ fin.ally t&lked about
the crux of the matter, that iJ, why
the fteshmen were oot notified of
the change until October 28, Mooney
stated that he: did not know that thit
c:.hangt wu definiu untll Scpte:m·
ber It aeemt odd that all of the
studentl who were here lut yur
knew about the chan~ to.semestcn ,
but th.at it wu not adefulitc thing I
asked lf the administration could
have notified .students saying that
there wa.s a rat posssblilty, or even
stated that students do not even
know that lC is on qua.tkrs and th.a t
it is not a factor in students' choos­
ing to come here. Yet, the re.uon
they decide to go to UPS or other
pl.aCCll ls tNt these places are on
Rmesten Hmmm.
Mooney further Rid that 1t
would be pruurnptuoua on htS put to tdJ nudenu about a possible:
~to ICJ'.O,CSte:n since tbe Board
of Trustees would feel th.at he U·
.1umed they would approve his pro­
pont. In that cue, it wu prc.sumptu­
oua to te:ll All the:studena on campus
lut yea.r that a r.emester change wu
to occur. If the decision wu made
this Sepumber,l think it would h•ve
been nice if the: freshmen had a voice
in the: matkr Sli\Ce this change di­
rectly affects thml.
AD.ywzt, Mooney pretty much
shot me down and said that then:
was no way a student vote would
~ppcn . And the: adm.aruatta uon
wondcn why students here fed no
scruc of community, why they fed
al.ien~ted by the admintstration, and
why they are transfemng left and
nght. Hmmm.

minutes; under the 10 week quarter,
there .ue 21,600 minutes.
8) We also wonder why you
told the faculty that you would not
submit a proposal that conwncd a
six week winter break to the Board or
T rustecs. Thus, if the: fAculty voted
for thccunent trimester system with
its six week winter break, would you
have not submitted this prorx-ition
to the Board?
9) Moreover, we ruliu that by
a very s.rruU m&JOnty did the faculty
vote: for a semester system ~~ the
curttnt trimestrr system. Coupled
with the fact that the grut majority
of students are not pleased with the
proposed semester system, we ask
th.at the administration look aves
this CNtter aga.i~
10) Our last point is tb.t the
current system is innCNatlve, effec­
tive, and attractive to future atu·
dents. We believe it to be a grave
mistake to change to semesters in
order to be like othc.t coUeges. Of
cource, the semester sysre:m has its
adva.ntages, but so don the trimes­
ter system, esped.llly for l..ewiJ and
Clark CoUqe. Mcmwe:r, dw coun­
try is bASed on havin& choices Tlut
last year this college had a record
number of applic:.antt shows th&t the
trimette:r system is a realistic, viable:,
efkctivcoption . A tcttamrnt to this school's worth, due in p.a.n to iu
innovative tnme:st.cr system, iS th.at
thia ye.u's enunng freshman cLass is
the "sm.utest• and •tJat• c::lass s.n the
history of Lewis and Clark. ObVi­
ously, t:hll school tw been doing
something right, and that something
did not involve the semater system
Many students h.ave cxpreued that
the tnmcstcr system was a big factor
in their choosing of Lev.ris and Oark.
Not one person we've come in con­
tact with hen: h.u expressed discon­
tent with the urm system In faa,
D'Wl)' s~tcd that they would scn­
ously cons1der trarafening. or would
transfer if the ch.angc to semesters
occurs.

JJ 5JJlC(' students were not fully
enlightened about lh~ issue, we sug­
gest forums where the pro p051l could
be discusvd and debated.
l) We funher caD for a vote of all
the students, especiall)• the sopho­
mores and freshmen because this pro­
pos~ duectly affects them, to sec 1f
they support or oppose the c:h.lQge to
semcstcn..
3) If the majority of students
lptc with the change to semesters,
-.w will accept the decision
4) If, however, the maJority of
students oppose this proposal, we
dem&nd that our clus o£ '96 not be

mesters l$<klini te, 1t could oc:cursta.rt •
ing with the clus of '97 along 'NJth

We rea lin that we may be set in our
ways on this Issue, but. ~ honestly
believe that for Lewis and Clark CcJ.
lege, trimesursue the most effective
system. Fun.hclmore, we re&.liu the
lade. of fK:U.lty support on this pro­

So it was Jast Saturday in the
'Showdown at the .A.hland Cor­
ral, • as Lewis & Clark's football
team battled the Southern Or­
egon R.atders m a rivalry that has
in recent years showcased the
brutality of the game. The Raid­
eu, whose aggressive, vaolent:
play had produced ten consecu­
tive wins in the series, have lost
two in a row to a Pioneer squad
which featured a defense that
buckled up their chin straps,
ptnned their eaf'l back, and said,
'w's brawl.•
The defensive unit, often
overshadowed by the gaudy
numbers put up by the Pioneer
offense, would not be beaten a.s

a 27 19 wm over SOSC. The
P1oncr:r Log Athlete of the Week
11 a 'ingular honor, given this
Week to a modest guy who had a
stellar andtvidual performance as
part of an tncrecHble team effort
to send the Raiders running for
the hills. If it were possible to
have eleven athletes of the week,
We'd do that this wee~ But
actq>ting the award on behalf of
the entire defense, is Kalei IU.moi the Mt Hood Le.lgue and Co­
lumbia Football Association 's De­
fensive Player of the Week.
-J was surprised to get these
awards/ said Kaanoi of the league
andconfen:nceplayeroftheweek
honors. -The defensive line did
really weU. ln a way I don't feel
like I deserve it. I give all the
credit to the rest of the team, •
admitted Kaanoi
•VVben they scored those
points early and it was fourteen
to nothing. • continued Kaanoi.
•our offense came back and
scored and tt gave us confidence.
Afterthosefust two drives Coach
Solberg had us blitzing more,
wruch attributed to the tackles
for losses and sacks And those
sacb were because of the (defen­
sive backs); they were cCM:tage
sacks,• said Kaanoi.
With a strong supporting
cast, the 5-10,210 pound junior
inside linebaclcer from Honolulu,
Hawau ravaged the Raiders' of·
fense for eleven tackles, includ.
ing a nine-yard quarterback sack
and two other taddes for losses
of five yards.
The first 11 minutes, 45 sec­
onds of the game yielded 14
points and 147 yards for the Raid­
ers, whose punishing ground
game was chewing up dirt like a
buUdoz.er. But LC'sdefensebuc.k ­
led down, giving up just three
pointS and 152 yards in the re­
maining 49:15. That lone fidd
goal came an the: second quaner
ahcrSouthem got the ball all the
way down to a first and goal at
the five yardtinc:. On third and
goal on that drive, Kaanoi tack-led a Southern player behind the
line of scrimm.age on a pasa play
to set up the 6.e.ld goal, uutead of
what could ~ve been another
touchdown for the Raiden.
AJso in the second quarter
came a huge play that may have
been what really shifted the
momentum. With Southern
leading 19 14, defensive taclcle
Jeff Peters sacked quarterback
Mark Helfrich, causing a fumble
wtuch was recovered by defen­
sive end Keith --rh.e Hawalia.n
Hurricane• Chang, who went
rumblin', bumblin' andstumblin '
with the ball aU th.e way to the
Pioneers' four-yard line to set up
the go-ahead touchdown with
29 seconds left in the half.
The h.atftil1ll! score of 20..19
was a.U the d.efense needed be­
cause Southern didn't •core
again. In fact, the Raiders'
vaunted runrung attack was hc.ld
to 24 yards in the second two
quarteu by •The Dreaded
BJackshlzu" (although they re­
ally do fit the descnption of T1tt
~ TheWaNi1l.t Ugly). The:
most important atatistic, though,
is that the punishing ground
game of the Raiders needed just
25 yards in the second half to
force the game to ovcnime, but
the Pioneerdefensewouldn't glVt
an inch.
lt is nearing four at the
Ashland corral. Sou them is driv­
ing to tie the game With under
three minutes to go, the Raiders
reach the Lewis & Clark seven
yard line, first and goal. Play num­
ber one: run up the middle, gain
of five, t:ack.ledbydefensivetack.Je
Marty Wynne. Play number two
(second and goal from the two):
run off tackle, gain of one, tack­
led by strong safety Jim Roofener
and free safety Brian Corbin. Play
number duu (third and goaJ
from the one): run up the nuddle,
no gain, tack.Led by Kalci Kaanoi.
TLme out.
It's getting really insane
right now. Coach Solberg's yell­
ing instructions above the din of
the crowd and the hOMSC en­
couragem.atrsof the turns. Guys
are jumping up and down, fin.
gen crossed, scn:aming . Thisu
why they play the game. Play
number four (fourth and goal
from the one): run up the middle.
At this point, time slow.. You
could see the running back lunge
over the top of the pile. You
could see the defenst surge for­
ward to meet him. You could see
the baU pop loose.
The thing is, brains work
faster than muscles, and it was
an ctemityof thinking u the baU
floated out of the pile, landing at
the goal line. A Southern player fallJ near it, and slaps at it in slow
motton towards the endzone.
Bodies fall on top of him, and the
baU disappear~ . Vague rules are
conjured up in che mind. Can
that guy do thatl. Is any of that
legal? Can you advance a
fumble? What af it1S founh
down? What if i''' into the
endzo.ne?
As bodies are lifted from the
ptle, the outcome ia still uncer­

Folkl, this was the greatest
goal line stand I have ever seen.
I've been watching football since
the fmt nme the Steelus won it
aU, ~.nd thLJ ts the best of aU time
at any leveJ. ln dw u&fy xaron,
the Pioneers' defense •howed
what the game 1.1 reaUy played
for, for moments like that. They
played with more pride, guts,
and fire than could be me.\sured .
When u came right down to it,
they drew a line in the dust, and
dared 'em to cross tt. Chalk. one
up for The Dreaded Blickshirts,
and Athlete of the Week Kalei
Kaano&, who not only led the
defensive effort, but knows bow
to give credit where it's due. Pe:nona.lly, I would never run
26 miles, even if my U Fe depended
on rt. 1 could only run 26 miles if
they broke it down over a period
of days. About 2600days would
be right. l..ct'$see, thar would be
about 1/100th of one mile each
day (that'• about 52 a feet) •
Soundi good to me. I beJ teve in
leaving running up to the ex­

Why run 26 miles(. That's
why people invented cars and
buses. But I do have an idu for
how I could compete an a mara·
