"'They area great bunch
of young people,.. said Evan
Williams , vice president of
academic affairs and member of
the Academic Council.
Membership in the
Pamplin Society is the highest
honor bestowed by Lewis &
Clark on its students . The
qualifications to be a member
are widespread .
Students who are
named Pamplin Fellows have
shown commitment to
developing the mind, body and
spirit. Specifically they must
demonstrate : -Superior inteJiectwl
promise, and acadcm1c
performan ce,
-Dedication to their
communiti es and the desire to
use their individual talents on
behalf of a fJ'E(! and democratic
society ~
-Interest and success in
physical fitness and health and
-Ummpeachabl e
integtity.
Using these quali
fications as a basis, the
committee went through a long
and intricate process during the
past summer in order to choose
the first 21 Pamplin Fellows.
The selection
committee was made up of the
vice president of academic
affairs and all the
undergraduate deans. This
group fonns what is known as
the Academic Council.

The Society of Fellows

Society privileges (detailed next

there is only one so far. The

The 21 member group

"'They area great bunch
of young people,.. said Evan
Williams , vice president of
academic affairs and member of
the Academic Council.
Membership in the
Pamplin Society is the highest
honor bestowed by Lewis &
Clark on its students . The
qualifications to be a member
are widespread .
Students who are
named Pamplin Fellows have
shown commitment to
developing the mind, body and
spirit. Specifically they must
demonstrate : -Superior inteJiectwl
promise, and acadcm1c
performan ce,
-Dedication to their
communiti es and the desire to
use their individual talents on
behalf of a fJ'E(! and democratic
society ~
-Interest and success in
physical fitness and health and
-Ummpeachabl e
integtity.
Using these quali
fications as a basis, the
committee went through a long
and intricate process during the
past summer in order to choose
the first 21 Pamplin Fellows.
The selection
committee was made up of the
vice president of academic
affairs and all the
undergraduate deans. This

people who have it aU together

Furthermore, once selected,one
may be removed from the

"'Wei 1, .. Bitzic checked
her Feminist Theory notebook

Then, we have hate crimes and
discnnunations against gays,
lesbians, women trymg to get
abortions, African Americans,
Asian Americans, women, men,
boys, girls, prostitutes, and
incidents both by and against
the police. What do you think,
Boopsie?"
"I think I'm getting
mighty depressed. Let's forget
our troubles instead and go to a
football game down at the field,
and then aftcn<~ords a political
rally or something.,"' I said,
standing and taking her hand.
"Ooh, I love it, honey!

I could kiss you in public!

we choosing, as our "highest"'
honor, to reward one spc..ocific

Su~rior GP A is worthy of note,
but so are countless other
important attr:1butes and
achievements.

school where people Jeamabout
themselves as much as they
learn about their studies. II is a
time of figuring out how to live,
communicate , and lead oneself

haven't managed tl'lcir first year
the ''right" way is demeaning to
our college and insulting to all
students here, especially those
who feel the College might ha vc
different values than those at
otl'ler schools.
The Pamplin Society of
Fellows is wrong. By rewarding
certain kinds of a achievement
with honor and privilege, our
administration tums01 blind eye
to a great many vital thinkers
and actors here, and needlessly
subdivides the student body
further than it isalready . This is
a tremendous price for n."'Cciving
