The review states that •much De l '

traditional liberal arts education 1S all about,' the review group
"In our
conversations
with many
different
constituenci es, it
ap to us could find •no ev~dence that the faculty
understands It or that acttons are being
taken or modtfied based on a common
understanding of the mission of the
college •
1he tmpetus for thiS ultimately rests
wtth the Prestdent of the college, and we
could find no ev~dence of a clear articula-
tion on his part of the conJunction be­
tween liberal arts and the mission of lewis
and Clark,' the rC\Ilewcrs wrote.
LC had a aussion statement m the 1980s,
but tt was not very successful, according ()
tha the majority
of the faculty
and
administrators
are Jookin
backward ra er
than to the
future." to John Abele, chair of the Phystcs Department, chair of the Committee on the Cumculum
and the representative from the math and natural sciences division and chair of the Depart­
ment and Program Revtew sub-committee
"There IS a price co pay for it Last time the price was
qutte high, • said Abele rrbe effects of the prevtous
m1ss1on planrung proJect were pretty negauve "
The reviewers mentioned the memory of the last mission
plannmg attempt as a stumbling block Cor LC to overcome,
•Jn our conversations with many different constituencies,
it appeared to us that the majority of the faculty and
administratozs are looking backward rather than to the
future. The trauma caused by the infamous rrusston
planning project of the 1980's and the rap1d turnover in
college administrators IS still a major presence on the
campus. It is time to end the grieving process at Lewis and Clark and to get on
wtth positive steps to create a better future for the college: wrote the review
group.
Abele doubts that nothing will be done immediately about a mission state­
ment, •but at some time we will probably have to address the 1ssue, • he said
One of the organiz.ationaltssues the revtew cited was resistance to change. lt
was suggested that the: •participation, commitment and ownership on the part of
the facutry• that alle<J'tating this requires •can best be accomphshed at the depart­
ment level,' however, 'the organiz.at ton of the college seems to 1mpede, rather than
facilitate thls k.tnd of acuviry "
Basacally, the rev1ew suggested major changes in the college, predominantly m
the adrrun1strative structure The structure i.s blamed for using human and
financtal resources that should be saved for the future.

A ded~ion was made on rhe
final semestct calendar during a
meeting between the curriculum
commttte4' 3nd Evan Williams,
\flceprestdent ofacademicaffau-s .
After much ddibc!raciono"et
the pasr fcv.' months, the cur­
riculum commtttee vort.-d m fa­
vor of the proposed compromise
calendar, made up of twO 68 day
se.mestcrs
The proposed compromise
calend:u was developed by Wal­
liams after the college could not
meet an agreement on the prcvi­
ou~ calendars that had been pre­
sented.
At the end of fall re.rm the
College of Arts and Sciences fac·
ulry voted berwcen three pro­
posed calendar5; a 15-15 week
calendar, a \6-16 week calendar,
<lnd a 15-16 week calendar The
faculty voted in favor of the 15-
15 week semester calendar.
However, the Graduate
School, SMB, and the science
faculty preferred the 16-16v..-cck
semester calendar.
This dl\'iston over wh1ch
choice was best prompted Wil·
bams to look at a comprorruse
calendar.
The problem with the vari­
ous other proposed calendars was
that the two semesters were not
symmetrical; they did not con­
tam the same number of days.
Also, some oft he people who
dtdn't hke the 16-16 week calen-darwc.n: concerned with st.uting
clilSSt:~ m August
Both of these problems were
taken into constderation when
Wilhams developt•d the compro·
mi!lc calendar
-The end: was how to have
symmetrical scmestl'rsand tni\Ke
sure we begin tn September, after
Labor Day/ s.:ud jane Atkinson, d
member of the curnculum com­
mutec.
The compromi~ calendar IS
something that w1ll hopefully
11 please everybody," sa td
Atkinson ~lt addresses the prin­
cipal concerns of different
groups.~
The new compromise calen-
dar wtll have the same number of
msrructional days in both terms,
68 dlys in e.1ch
It will also allow for the. col
lege to always begin classe~ after
Labor Day, regardles..c; of whtch
date L:abor Dav is on.
Also, the nt:W semester cal­
endar contains rwo reading days
before four or five days of final
exams, a four day Thanksgtvmg
break dunng fall semester, and a
one week break during spring se­
mester.
Final exams will always be
over on or before December 23
and wmter break will be 25 days
long
The compromise calendar
•gives students more work time
in the summer, .. said Atkinson .

Q? Let's tAlk about trad1t1on5 What
usc do traditK>ns have an a practtc.ll
day to day hfe an a college like this?
A I That ·s a great theme and one of
my favorite theme1. Th1s college h.u
a rolture, or 1t ha.s multiple culture.
JUSt as the ~OCJety in which It livo
has a culture and now we diKover,
muluple culture~ Both of them arc
tn part mvolvcd an one another
lives ... in that we arc both a part of
the secular culture and we have our
own culture. It's tmportant to un·
derstand the crossovers between the
twO.
I say that because when I was 1n
college about thirty yean ago, ~cry
college had a very nch culture or It
was not a college There were reli­
able traditiOns, begmntngWlth rultJ.
They were made fun of, certam Vlll­
ration ntes, lack thereof, separation
of the sexes, t1mes when you had to
gotodmner, tlmcsforcxercisc, ~
of this Jond. Yes, they were revolted
t~gamst, but 1n a fnendly way, there
were boundancs that were under­
stood to be pan of the culture 10
place. Bes1dcs that there were mul
tipleactsvittes, in thcformsof pranks,
hatcmitles, or clubs these we~ re­
liable or handed on from year to
yw
What occurred, it seems to me,
because I wa.s a part of it.. .lS that
this soaety as a whole turned itself
up$lde down The cultures on cam­
pus became very much Unked With
the operations and societa.l problems
of soclety at large [for uutancej

this lnsutuuon bas undergone a lot

We've been on three separate ca.lcn·

When you dunk about lt, a cal·
cndar is not JUSt a framework but a of way from year to year
Not by having a throwback to
some of the reprcssion1st waYi m
whu::h colleges were run 1n the years
past. lt's gone What you'd hke to
do io; create activities that first of all
arc muningful , some of them fun,

helped to destroy the cultures of the

Q' Let's look at the college anstead
and sec how that might embody
ttself ls it right to denve tradition,
•pulled out of a hat,• like rhe logo?
AI The logo had a httlc longer gesta­
tiOn period than JUst bemg pulled
out of a hat, but I take your point on
that
ll h.u clements of tradition and
of modem1ty about 1t lt was de­
signed by Sob Reynolds the same
man that worked Wlth the college tn
domg that wonderful commemora·
uve book There were a number of
focus groups that were shown a va­
riety of approaches to a logo, and
eventually we got closure on that
one
It wasn't a umvcrsity·wide or
an mstituuon- Wide endeavor, that people say, •hey, there's something ,
let's keep it, because 1t's good ~
The h«-.• u example l have ts the

was a great deal of cynic~tm . But
onccatoccurred , the amount o( spint
th.at had pum~d up was magnsfi­

not as a challeogc to raj~ money for
some purpose, but as a ch.aJlenge for
the commumty to itself to be well,
to be fit, and toch.illenge itself physt­

can we start a tradttion Without this
lund of huge badung
At Well what would be the J990s
bcanng on the old panty ra.id? That
was my d.ly but we can't do that.
I'm teastng, of course
Thue must be some way m
wtuch the students, on their own,
can begin an activity that costs Vlr·
tually nothing that is perhap$ fun,
maybe playful, maybe
meaningful... but 1t catches peoples

time [the logo] will be
accepted as JUst a way
In whkh we mark the

Zero's career thus far at
l.twis and Oark has been at best
turbulent After rrugrating from
Payson, Ariz.ona {a smaU, rural
town) to the Northwest, Zero
spent a year and tWO le.mlS here
before hc:admg back to Arizona
m order to get a real JOb. He
spent thefollowingtwotermsin Tuscan, Arizona working odd
JObs such as "'sandmg mc.squitc

months later, he headed back to
school, only thts ume m Iowa.

explains Zero when a ked why
he chose the nudwesl "Once 1

'Hi mom. I droppedoutof school

In an effort to fulfill hts

'Choose Your own Adventure' in China Town eat at Fong Chong
Ally-.on Quibell
Are you ready co break free
from the Chinese food rut of fned
nee and chow mein? Then take
your sense of adventure and a
fev.r frlends downtown to Fong
Chong at 301 NW 4th
Now take heed, this IS not
an ordmal)' Chinese restaurant
I'm not refenng to the decor. it's
decorated in rypical 70s style
booths, wood paneling and
brown and orange naugahyde
chaus
What I am talking about is
its menu Everyday from 10:30
a.m until 3 p m Fong Chong
&e.rves Dun Suml For those of you not famthar v.'lth Dim Sum,
this is how it works·
Every couptc or llunutes a
can loaded wtth little plates of
food 1tems (Dtm Sum) as care­
fully maneuvered by each of the
tables. As each wamess passes
by, she says what shl· is offcnng
If you see som~rhing you'd like
to try, you merely pomt to 1t.
Quick as a wmk it is placed m
front of you, and a mark ts made
on your tab Every cart has a
dtfferent Dam Sum item. By the
end of your mal, the first Item
you sawwtll have no doubt come
around agam.
Have no fear, th~re IS a menu
for your reference. But in all
honaty, even after readmg the menu it lS difficult to know ex­
acdywhat IS what when it passes
you oy.
Your best her is to just rrust
your instincts and cross your fin­
gers Jf you do see something on
the menu that you rt111ly want,
you can spectal order 1t to make
~re you don't mass ar
The great thing about Fong
Chong's Dim Sum is that it's
quite inexpensive. Each item
costs $1.70 and there is usuaJly
more than one of each on each
place.
You can try lots of things,
and if you don'r like all of them
you won't feel gypped It ~a
good idea m gownha few friends
though Thar way you can 'split' different choices and end up try­
ing more things. You can also
take: thmgs home tf your eyes
end up bemg b1gger than your
stomach
By the end of our meal my
friends and I had accumulated
quite a large stack of bttle empty
places on our lazy susan I don't
thmk we chose one dung rhat
nobody liked
We dtd have some favonces.
The Pots tickers were a b1ghit. In
fact, I think that the word •deli·

There is a huge difference.

Many people say that lifting
the ban on gays in the military as

Afncan-Amcricans or women.
But Afncan-Amencans were not

When men sleep in beds three

Obviously men and women
do not share livmgspacewhtle tn

Heterosexual cQexistence
with homosexual soldiers should
not be a problem. Homosexuals
have been forced to deal with
heterosexual hving arrangements
in civilian situations for as long
as they can remembef .
Homosexuals are used to c~

been forced to deal with it smce
day one, every time they show·
ered after gym in high school,

in a dorm
Obviously, the problem lies
in the heterosexual sold1ers' am­

crurunataon and fear
Women are allowed in the

real pnonty should be, are
you willing to fight for your

Polls show that those m
the military are generally
opposed to a lifting on
the ban of homosexuals,
whereas people who have
a dose fnend who is gay
are more an favor of lifnng
the ban It all depends on
whom you talk to.
The polls demonstrate that
there 1s a drastic difference of
opmaon between the American
mihtary and the •folks back
home•. This disparity emerged

erased
Some would say that if the

the change, it won't. But let's
not forget who lB commander­

women actualJy dec1de to study
the drumset If they want to
play m a band, they find that
other male band members usu­
ally don't take them seriously­
or worse, their audience.
So playing the drumset re·
gamble, and allowing c•arsdves
to take pan in the diverse range
of campus events, our hves could
be enriched in many different
ways. Personally, due to my po
sit1on, my concern as athletics.
Perspecuve 1s a word quite
often used as part of our Lewis &
Clark athletiCS philosophy. It is a
dangerous word due to some of
its imphcauons, and is many
times mtsunderstood, many
times negatively .
We do have athletics in per­
spective here at Lewis & Clark,
but in a very affirmative way.
We see 1ts ment and overall posi­
tive effect on our student-ath­
letes Theyoungmenandwomen
athletes here at L&C commtt,
what co some would be, a sur·
prising amount of time attempt ~
ing to perfect a gaven skJil But,
this time is in no way compa~
rable to the •mator' college ath ·
letes' commitment That 1s a
positive. We have coaches who
understand acaderruc pressures
and are mcn:dibly flex1ble due to
that consideration That too is a
positive facet of athletics at our mains a male •dorrunated• an.
Why? Woman cenatnly have
the phystcal capactty to play as
well as men but the image of
today's drummer often reflects
mtght musde, and power .
Except for exoc1c groups and
rare arttsts {1 e. Sheila E., and L7)
the audience doesn't believe that
power can be delivered by a
woman. The power of playing
the drums isn't brute foru any­
way, its in the elegance, form and
proper technique -like any m­
strument. So the next time you

level.
We do not have athlettc
scholanhtps nor do we as a col­
lege gtve special treatment for
our athletes. This 1s not a com·
plaint, 1 agree wtth the overall
philosophy . But that dotsn't
mean that our athletes are any
less deserving of fan support. In
fact, WJththetremendoushandi­
caps that many of our student­
athletes overcome JUSt to attend
a school hke Ltwis & Clark and
take pan in athletics, in a perfect
world, thetr efforts would be ap­
plauded loudest.
It's not a perfect world, and
their payback is many times only
self satisfaction Satisfaction that
hard work toward a goal often
leads to accomplishment of that
goal.
That's a good Jesson for any­
one attemptmg to be successful
at almost any task. Dreams of
playmg beyond college ar-e only
that, dreams. Emphasis for our
student-athlete IS on the •stu·
dent• rather than the "athlete.'
Few can advance beyond our level
of play and our athlcte5 are very d1fference between drug use and
abu~.

So, tn response to the OBC's s1x
Principles of an lnstttutton-Wtde
Drug and Alcohol Policy wh1ch
serve as the bas1s for Lewis &
Clark's pohcy, I offer an alterna­
ravc five princtples ·
1. Allow students to choose for
themselves what substances they
use or abuse so that they may
learn rhrough expenmcntanon
2. Prov1de students With the edu­
canon and mform«mon they need
in order to make informed choices
about drugs and alcohol.
Such education should em­
phasize the different characteris­
tiCS and dangers for various drugs,
and how to recognize abuse.
(•Just Say No• is brain-washing,
not education)
3. Direct energies towards prob­
lems which may be associated
with alcohol ,and drug usc such as
no1se in the dorms, drunk driving
Sax, now
aware of that face.
Most of the negatives thar
you can read daiJy regarding col·
lege athleucs don't apply here on
Palatine Hilt. In fact, it's often
the opposite. In rhe p.lSt, many
athletes felt somehow frowned
upon or dtscriminated against.
This is changing We are seem­
ingJy gotng back to a time when
it was •coot• or at least OK co

crowd of professors, peers, par­
ents, and just boosters rooting
for them as they perform in the
name of their school, ts exciting

with that, and am not ashamed
to feel that way. Athletics have a and rape.

I didn't want to get into th1s

subject, but I feel that Jt is neces­
sary to show that the Pto Log

The 1992-1993 swim season
IS S[artmg to wind down, with
1hedual meer season having con­
cluded last Saturday in
Zehnrbauer Swimming Pavilion.

meet for semors Kirk Walker, Lon
Moore and Kathleen Eugster
LC swam well considering
the amount of effort they put
mto the prevtous week's prac-

week: scud co-captain Emo

Coach Don King said that he
was pleased with the perfor·
:!Wltes, especially those of the
:resnrnan athletes
Mike Iieberman has made
tmprovements in the 100
free style, as well as Anna
wsc:n m her free-style events.
· Mtllsdtdwellin the50and
yard free-style, and so did cially sexi1t to refer to them as
•g;rJs•, but I think that it 11 im­
portant forme to u~ this term in
order to point out their young
age. Aher all, 1f they were older
women, rheywould be held per­
sonally accountab le for theu ac
ttons and there would be no po­
tential. lawsuits).
Anyway, one of my col
leagues, Apnl Lee, wrote a well
Wntten column tn the Log last
week about the necessity to pro-
Derrell Wheeler 10 free-style as
weJJ as IM events.
First-year student Tnna
Schonberg has done very well in
free-style and backstroke ev~n
though she joined in January af­
ter travelling .
Sophomore MisSY. Froehle
had strong performanct::s in the
200 and l 00 yard free-style and
Wendy Morgan is domg a great
job after returning from over·
seas.
}untor Jen Ingold amazed
everyone after finishing the 400
IM with the optional qualifying
time even though she lost her
goggles m the first part of her
race.
The swimmers are in what
they caJI •crunch timee before
they shave and taper for the Dis­
trict meet tn Olympia February
26 and 27
From now until next Thurs­
day, they wtll work as long and
as hard as they can, getting in
extra time m the pool and weight
room Next weekend they wJil teet the Blaur players involved
from having their names tar·
ni!hed by the press • Aher all,'
the gJSt of her column argued,
•the allegation~ are unfounded .'
Therefore, the athletes here are
innocem until proven guilty
Wh1le I agree WJth some of
her potnt~ tn the ISsue, especiaiJy
the need to keep the names from
the pubhc tn order to protect
rhose who have nor been found
gutlty of a crtme, ( do take ISSUe
travc:l to the boommg town of
Walla Walla for a two-day con­
ference meec.
When they rerum. the swim­
mers who have not yer qu_altfied
for Nationals in March WJIJ be­
gm a taper. While the rest of the
team is still enduring hard work­
outs, these SWimmers will have
shorter and shorter workouts
with more rest m between sets.
A taper is about 40% physi­
cal work and 60% mem.a.l work.
This involves VJSuaJizing the race
and rht:: goal is an tmportam part
of tapenng. Then the big day
wiJJ come when these swimmers
get to shave thetremirebodies.
The combination of taper­
mg and shavmg hopefully wiU
help drop enough seconds to
qualify for Nationals in San An­
tonio. Coach King hopes to be
able to take a large contingent to
wow them in San Antonio

co aU the fans who suppon;ed us
chis season!
o Athlete of the Week: Shawn Alderman wich some other imporranr
things.
One thing that many people
are overlooking is the possibility
that the girls in this instance were
VIolated of chetr nghts After aU,
the law ts there to protect them
from hurting chemselves . Most
ofche tame, we don't rhmkabour
it or we desptse 1t, but rhe laws
serve ro protect us.
(for example, I espect.ally
hate speed limits. However, I
realize that speed limiu are set 1n
order to protect us, not only from
ourselves, bur also from hurtmg
others).
What I am saying IS that we
are dotng a tremendous inJusuce
by trymg to throw th1s case out
the window I want the Blazers
to win a champaonsh1p JUSt as
much as everyone else m Port­
land does.
But we cannot just str around
and allow the Blazers co have
more privileges chan ordinary
citizens like you and me. Jusr
because they can do slam dunks
and make rhree·pomt shots With
enviable accuracy does not mean
that they are exempt from the
laws.
If you and I had been the
ones ac quesuon in the Sale Lake
City case, there definitely would
not have been such a maJor pub-­
lic debate to cle.u our names and
get it over wtth immediately .
Sue, because they are excel-

L.L. Cool 1.
Rockjaw Rugby started off
its season last week with a bang.
Three halves we~ played agamst
the Portland Pigs -a• side in a lent arhJetea (and members of
the only •rear• profession:tl sports
ream in Portland) , rheyare8Jven
more privileges than everyone
else.
lf you a.nd 1 were given free
cars, had rhoua.a.nds of adonng
fans paymg b1g bucks just to see
us shoot at baskets, and thou­
sands of women chasing after us
just because we play basketball,
It would be prcrryexcirmg! But,
alongwtth that exCitement prob­
ably comes a feeling of tnVlncJ­
bilicy.
Assummg thar the Salt La~.e
City reports are true, the Blazers
in thts case went too far. They
may be vtcrirns of thetr hfc:stylc:.
but we cannot forg~t that the
girls mvolved are vicnms too
Maybe they IOJtlared It
Maybe they wanred thts whole
thing co happen. But all that 1s
irrelevanr when wcconsrder that
they were underage and do not
possess che tThltunry to be held
accountable for cht'lr .1cnons
What I am try:mg ro say Js
that we can't JUSt drop th1s and
stmply let the Blazers get back to
business. If somethmg 1llegal
happened here, we have to at
least calJ u to attemion. Not to
do so would be making a state­
ment rhat the gJrls' nghts aren't
worth upholdmg and rhat bc.mg
