Appro:<im;lt~ly 200 students had
LC grants and work study reduced
cut completely from their aid packages
1 ·ng to Mervyn Brockett assistant
pn."':>ident of academic affatrs.
This reduction has caused some
1\Uclcnts to consider leaving LC at the
of the term. Some students weren't
to return at all.

ot notified that LC grants would be cut
' FAF~ were turned in late.

t1tted me that 1 n~ed to fix anything,"
lsat·a Skelton, who fih.>d his forms late.
In past years, a student stilln.>eeived

te This year the funds were not
available to do that.
LC could only guaranh..>c a fu II grant
to those they knew would be here; i.e .
. those that had filed their FAf's on time. "Many students are in the habit of
applying late. We had to allocate funds
based on what we know," Williams
stated.
The mcrease this year in the number
of students with a demoru.tratcd financial
need was a lot higher than the increase in
tuition and other income. This left LC
with less funds to allocate per student.
~e're trying to keep costs down so
tuition and feescanst.lydown,"' Williams
said. "Hopefully, the whole financial aid
process will be better this coming year."
The greater amount of students with
financial necdcanbcattributed to a larger
freshman class and a trend that has been
going on for years.
"'The rise in students with financial
need ha~ been a trend for a few years,"
said Williams. H This year perhaps that
caught up with us."
So~ students are also angry with
the collcg~·s tack of interest in helping
out students who did not re<\!ive a full
aid package.
'l talked to one administrator and
he basically told mc to take a yc.1r off,"
said Skelton.
Still other students believe there is a
larger problem.
" This is a lot larger picture than
just financial aid," Wilson said. "I think
it is important for the college to do
everything they can to retain !;tudcnts.

As a result of this years increase in

by the administration to improve Odell,

The principle projects will be the
addition of quiet study spaces, complete
with soundproofing, and the expansion
of handicapped accessibility. Work on
OdelJ is scheduled for completion by
mid-October .

Lack of Communication
Puts College at Fault for
Many Financial
Aid Troubles
A rule that has ne\•cr bc.,n enforced as not a rule.
1rt the past. lhecoJJcge h:lsdisburscd full Lewts & Clark
grants regardless of when Finanoal Aid Forms were turned m.
This set a dangerous precedent that manv students learned to
foDO\\.
Adnuttedly the fault techrucally lacs on the shoulders
Of those Students who fonns \\'Crctumed an late. This vear,
OO\\~"er, the deadline ,.,'3s strictly enforced, to the tu~e of
approX1mately200returnangstudents losang thcu LCgrants ,or
faang Slgntficant reductions.
Retur:rung LC students should not be held finanoally
accountable for dcosions made on the part of the coUege
adrrunistratton of which thi:! students v.'Cre not aware.
The admirustrabon has stated the reason for the chan~
was due to a lack of funds. This is an understandable problem.
To be fair. some factors bL")''nd the coHl'ge' sron trol contributed
to this devastating problem.
However, when the oollegc cut LC grants this year,
they were negligent in not informing students of lhis change in
procedure.
It is our feeling that the college was rerruss in its
handling of the situation.
ot only "-'35 the ooUegc at fault in not informing the
students, there was also an apparent lack of compassion for the
students' resulting financial troubles. The coUege has shown
no inteest in retaimng quality students, but rather has turned
students away with nothing more than empty bank accounts.
1umerous upperclassmen have made the difficult decision to
lea\-e Lewis & Oark. not by choice, but by necessity.
1lle administration should have made more of an effort
to seclc additional financial assistance for those students whose
funds were cut. An action of this sort would have shoWT\ a
geruune inleJest in the .students as andhiduals , rather than a
mass of revenue sources.
Tile haJsh effects ot this bad situation could have been
softened by simple rommunication and a willingness to find
alternative solutions.

The Hie.ruchy of
Whining
To the Editor-
In response to vanous rants
bylvan Drudcerand \\1illiam0.
lewis, I would like to offer an
alternative view of the menacing
societ\' or fellows. Their fear •
seems to be that this socii?ty
rewards students who tow the
company hne as defined bv Bob
Pamphn, thereby clevati,;g the
philosophy of Bob and
alienating the entire student
body. Hum? If you aJI feel
alienated from me vou should • let me know.
As for mv own little role an
4
all of this, I havcn•t spent the
last three years .. jumpmg
through hoops for chump
change,., orkissinganyone'sass.
r· ve tried to take myself seriously
as a student and to follow mv -own interests in school and in
the community. 11 Bob wants to
take the place of my loans this
time around, that's fine with me.
As far as heirarchies go, you
can find me on the lower end of
the heirarchy of whining.
Sincerely,
BilJ BoUinger,
Menace to Society
Offer Better Arguments
Than Dnz.an 's
To the editor,
l was extremelv • disappointed by Daniel
Drazan's response to the
criticisms of Bob Pamplin's 12
million doUar 'gilt' posed by
Ivan Drudcer in his two
columns. While 1 agree with
Jvan's opinion, 1 was genuinely
hoping to read a rebuttal of these
opinions that was well though
out, and intelligently addressed
the other side of this issue.
lnst~d. Dra.zan gave us 30 to 40
rolumn inches of rathermfantile
and antagonistic whining and
gloating. The fact that he
obviously represents an
unpopular (on this campus at
least) system o( tradational
beJiefs has nothing to do with
my criticisms of his piece. My
problem stems from the
apparent lack of any supporting
evidence or even rational
thought shown m Drazan's
article. Thisisanimportant issue
that should concern students
and faculty aJike, but the Pio
Log has failed to prov1de
arguments of equal merit tram
both Sides. I suggest that you
byagasnwalhasomewhat more
responsible journalist. To the editor/Daniel Drazan,
I just finished reading both
your (Daniel Draz.an's) article
and Ivan Drucker's in todav's " Pioneer Log. J believe that if
you read over both article!>
again, you will realize that Ivan's
argumentation is much stronger
than yours. He has stated his
points clearly and followed clear
fonns of argumentati on. Your
article, on the other hand, is a
series of personal cuts, srude
comments, overstatement of
Ivan's points and an appeal to
.. loga~ without support at all.
My advice is that if you really
believe as you state, you could
drop all the loaded language
and work on supporting your
arguments more.
"Who could be so boJd as to
look a twelve million dollar gift
horse in the mouth?" Well, Ivan
Drucker, for one; me for another.
Hopefully , all the students at
any ooUege will be bold enough
to question the motivations and
resultsofsuchagift. lfwedon't
question, then we are just
confirming that money controls
and rules aU. I'm not saying
that we must tum down the
money, that we shouldn't use it,
or that we should even think it
is bad, just that we QUESTION
it.
Ivan, your points are weiJ
taken and I now agree with you.
Daniel, J suggest a lit1Je less
name calling and a little more
thought.

Sabrina L Godfrey

w.1s to evaluate the struggling
BAS department and help an
definingtts pla<l!at LC. As part
of this process it also examined
the college#s mission and ats
organizational structure. In the
report the group stated," At the
present time, both cconomacs
and business are weak at LeWls
and Oark. In the case of
business, this is partially due to
institutional neglect and
partially due to departmental
failures. Whatever the cause,
the result h.ls been a failure to
recruit good new facutty and
this, in tum, has led to denials of
tenure. The students we talked
to seem to expect that if they
find a new fa cut ty member to be
a strong teacher in business or
economics, that person is not
likely to be tenured."
Aiming criticism at

differentiated between

than to the future,"' the ~iC'.\'CIS
also recommended rc·
integtatingthenewdepartment
with the rest of the campus and
encouraging joint decision
making between faculty and
administration. The creation or a combmed
department comes at an
opportun~ arne and IS cl05cly
connected to the change to a
semester system. Associate
Professor and former
department chair of the BAS
department, Harold SdUcef.
stated that, "'The fad that we're
gomg to semcste•s means the
curriculum must be rethought.
Timing is such that if you were
gomg to merge the departments
now would be~ time to do it. •
The department also is
linked to the other hot topic at
LC: the Pamplin Scholarships.
One of the Pamplin
Professorships is slotted for the
new Economics department .
This person will come from
outside the school and will be
an eJcper1 that both stUdents and
faculty can draw upon. S/he
will also be the new department
chair. When asked about this,
Schteef said that the .,new
pe.t son may bring in different
perspectives. That could play a.
mapr role in the direction the
department will go."
While the new department
is titled Economics, there will
still be two majors. one in BAS

The ASt C meetmg, whtch
started a bit late began with all
the members gabbing about
what official stuff they did m

commonly used words and
phases u.sed in debate were

didn't quite get the last one

After that came student
types asking for vanous

all of which got something if not what they asked for Next ASLC
held an executive scss1on no

Until the recent t«:hno cxplo

very heavily toward lyrie5 in mu

were always followed, lnfonna

samples tossed together helter
skelter, and who can forget the
.famed Au/ F. theme to the movie
BaJuly Hills Cop1 Still, the chaJ
lengen are few and far between.
So it's always a &e:fJeshing treat to
hear a band like Don Caballero, a
group to which lyrics aren't as
much uncommon as nonexistent.
Alrer a series of singles re-leased from April to June of thi~
year, the Don (a!i they are affection
atdy lolown around Pittsburgh.

full-length al

most jarring note,
which displays
lead guttarist

t.llcnt to the ut
most, and it con
tinues the dnv

with Chief Silting
Duck. After a
while, though,
they settle down
some what and faU into a more laid
back. comfortable groove.
For RLSpr.ct covers a lot of
ground musically, with a wide and diverse ronge. Constder the sixth
and probably best track, Subdu.td
Confutions, a slow, comparativ ely
soothing and almost haunting
melody which takes its own sweet
time. Compare it to For Resp«t,
with its driving, incessant bc.lt and razor's-cdgc feel The Don even
treads hghlly mto the river of

into the guitar work on Cot a

The Don isn't going to be
everyone's cup of tea, for the
most part, the music is bone
rattling and edgy, just on this
side of cacophony on more
than one occasion But there
is an Insubstantial method to
the madness, an almost an
trinsic feeling that the album
leaves you with that 'SOme

If you're not in a hurry and
want good Italian food at a reason
able pnce, Merchant of Vcntcc i
the plaer for you.
This tiny restaurant, located at
1432. N.E. Bl"'oldway. Ccaturcs sev
eral pizza and pasta selections as
well as Italian-inspired soups, sal
ads, and sandwiches.
As visitOTS enter Merchant of
Venier they are groctl'd with up
beat music and waiting smells of
pizza and pasta. The front room of
the restaurant is a lightl cury deU
with an informal atmosphere. Four
tables and an extensive wine and
beer 5clcction are located there. The
baclc.roomoftherestawant is more
cozy and lntim.1te. lt has only eight
tables, most of which scat two. Dark
pink walls and indirect l.ightin&givc
the room a European look.
My friend and I sat in the b:ack
room, where I would NOOmmcnd
&itting. Wedcdded tochooscfrom
the pasta &eluction of the menu.
Thercarcsevcrol basic f35l3 dishes
available, including fettuccine, sp:t
ght.>td and lingul.ni pestO. Most of the choit'l'!S are vegetarian or made
with chicken. Prices were very rea
sonable at around S4 a Ia carte and
$5.25 to S6.25 for an entn:e wruch
included salad and garlic bre41d.
I deeded to try the vegetarian
10\sagna, which wa.s very good. The
lasagna h.ld a creamy texture and a
rich cheesy taste.· It wa~ chock fuU
of vegetables, especially brocCX)Ii.
The next rime I go to Merchant of
Venier I plan to try the Chicken
lasagna made with ground chicken,
a welcome vanation from the stan
dard lasagna with ground beef. My
friend tried the fettuccine roast
chicken. 11us dish wa~ another ex
cellent choice as the tender chicken
was complimcntl'Ji by noodles in a
rich cheese l.'!uce.
Another tempting choice w.u
the lour kinds of piz.7..a ft•<ltured on
the menu. At about S2£ullccand $9

People .lt Lewis & Oark of
ten complain about a lack of
communacahon and commu
nlly on the C.tmpuc; This is un
fortunate, because we have a
small enough campuc: that we
shouldn't have these problems.
If the variousconsti tuentsof the

methods of relating to the oth
ers, we might under'.ttand each
other better, and consequenUy

Students and administra
tor~ need to develop respect for
one another by being accessible .
As long as students keep blindly
referring to "the administration"
(and we all do it) as a tyrannical
body whose pnmary purpose IS
to subjugate or at least ignore
us, we preclude the chance that
the ad ministration can and does
do anythmg worthwhile . On
top of that, we only gtve them
more power, because they do
pull the strings, and if we see
them as a faceless evil they11
never understand how or why
to pull the strings differently .
The administration are men and women who supposedly
know something about running
a school, and we as students
ought to give them the benefit
ofthedoubt. This doesn't mr•an
that we need to unoitically ac
cept whatever they hand u!». We
need to make our views known,
not by complaming but instead
by communicating in a produc
tive manner. Letters and per
sonal contact arc more effective
than grumbling to friends. Ask
ing questions is much betk'>J' than
saying "I don't like this, it sux,
those bastards." If we won't
address the Administration in a
useful way, we give them justi
fied reason not to listen.
It is vital that the adminis
tration participate in this re
aligned thinking, because if they
do not dcmoru.trate responsive
ness and interest, they will have
proved themselves unworthy of
the students' trust and respect.
This would not be difficult, but
it would requare conscious ef
fort. Communication styles
need to be changed.
If administrators presented
themselves ina way that did not
make them so much an "other.'' • un n:
students would not k-elso skep

the administration are hard to

there are problems here. I( ad
ministrators made announce

and bad here in a direct man

them as people with actual con

only good news, we become
convinced there is much hid

think that what conceJ liS the make 01 point of wandering
about, talking tostudents-not

opportunity. They should come

find out what ~s going on wilh

tions and provide answe• s, and
should be rcsponsi ve and forth

to see Vice President Williams
and say "'I have concerns :about
the new Core Curriculum be
cause ... " and Vice President
Williams should take that student's comments seriously
and respond sincerely. Admin·
istrator-studcnt conversation
should be a part of campus life,
not a special occasion. Admin

Confusion Abounds Among First-Year Students
by MEGAN WIU..lAMc;QN •
LAURBL MOHAN -
On the eighth of September,
498 cries could be heard. All
seemed to echo the same
senttment: "Help me! I'm so
lost!" From finding the right
classroom to obtaining proper
medical care, not a clue could be
found. Peeling lost is an
expected and reasonable
reaction to being in a new
envuonment. However, many
first year students felt, and to
some extent still do feel, that
more could have been done to
ease the pam of being a new
student. Lewis& Oark is a relatively
small college, known for 1t's
friendly environment Many
first year students expected tht.s
to be. reflected in orientation
The first-year students quickly
became disgruntled by the entire
settling-in process. For example,
regtstering for classes was a
Uving hell. We were thrown
into an arena to fend for
ourselves the day before classes
started. 11us is the standard
procedure every term but for
first year students it would be
much less overwhelming if
another means of registration
could be found or more
guidance offered. Some first year o;tudents were fortunare
enough to have been matched
w1th an advisor who was
helpful. Others had advtsors
who did no more than hand
them the blank yellow form with
their signature on it. Many new
students did not know how to
get long distance a:.!ling set up,
what to do about obtaining
medical LOSurance, or, a very
basic need, how to find their
classes. ln general, the entire
process was very impersonal
and intimidating.
Unfortunately most
students found that they were
not wellenoughmformed. More

By allowing the brand of po

don't even bother to read it.
Somehow a close relationship

small group of students, and
some knowledgeable person

Appro:<im;lt~ly 200 students had
LC grants and work study reduced
cut completely from their aid packages
1 ·ng to Mervyn Brockett assistant

This reduction has caused some

lsat·a Skelton, who fih.>d his forms late.
In past years, a student stilln.>eeived

te This year the funds were not
available to do that.
LC could only guaranh..>c a fu II grant
to those they knew would be here; i.e .
. those that had filed their FAf's on time. "Many students are in the habit of
applying late. We had to allocate funds
based on what we know," Williams
stated.
The mcrease this year in the number
of students with a demoru.tratcd financial
need was a lot higher than the increase in
tuition and other income. This left LC
with less funds to allocate per student.
~e're trying to keep costs down so
tuition and feescanst.lydown,"' Williams
said. "Hopefully, the whole financial aid
process will be better this coming year."
The greater amount of students with
financial necdcanbcattributed to a larger
freshman class and a trend that has been
going on for years.
"'The rise in students with financial
need ha~ been a trend for a few years,"
said Williams. H This year perhaps that
caught up with us."
So~ students are also angry with
the collcg~·s tack of interest in helping
out students who did not re<\!ive a full
aid package.
'l talked to one administrator and
he basically told mc to take a yc.1r off,"
said Skelton.
Still other students believe there is a
larger problem.
" This is a lot larger picture than
just financial aid," Wilson said. "I think
it is important for the college to do
everything they can to retain !;tudcnts.

Aid Troubles
A rule that has ne\•cr bc.,n enforced as not a rule.

This set a dangerous precedent that manv students learned to

Of those Students who fonns \\'Crctumed an late. This vear,
OO\\~"er, the deadline ,.,'3s strictly enforced, to the tu~e of

Retur:rung LC students should not be held finanoally
accountable for dcosions made on the part of the coUege
adrrunistratton of which thi:! students v.'Cre not aware.
The admirustrabon has stated the reason for the chan~
was due to a lack of funds. This is an understandable problem.
To be fair. some factors bL")''nd the coHl'ge' sron trol contributed
to this devastating problem.
However, when the oollegc cut LC grants this year,
they were negligent in not informing students of lhis change in
procedure.
It is our feeling that the college was rerruss in its
handling of the situation.
ot only "-'35 the ooUegc at fault in not informing the
students, there was also an apparent lack of compassion for the
students' resulting financial troubles. The coUege has shown
no inteest in retaimng quality students, but rather has turned
students away with nothing more than empty bank accounts.
1umerous upperclassmen have made the difficult decision to
lea\-e Lewis & Oark. not by choice, but by necessity.
1lle administration should have made more of an effort
to seclc additional financial assistance for those students whose
funds were cut. An action of this sort would have shoWT\ a
geruune inleJest in the .students as andhiduals , rather than a
mass of revenue sources.
Tile haJsh effects ot this bad situation could have been
softened by simple rommunication and a willingness to find
alternative solutions.

To the Editor-
In response to vanous rants

lewis, I would like to offer an
alternative view of the menacing
societ\' or fellows. Their fear •
seems to be that this socii?ty
rewards students who tow the
company hne as defined bv Bob
Pamphn, thereby clevati,;g the
philosophy of Bob and
alienating the entire student
body. Hum? If you aJI feel
alienated from me vou should • let me know.
As for mv own little role an

all of this, I havcn•t spent the
last three years .. jumpmg
through hoops for chump
change,., orkissinganyone'sass.
r· ve tried to take myself seriously
as a student and to follow mv -own interests in school and in
the community. 11 Bob wants to
take the place of my loans this
time around, that's fine with me.
As far as heirarchies go, you
can find me on the lower end of
the heirarchy of whining.
Sincerely,
BilJ BoUinger,
Menace to Society
Offer Better Arguments
Than Dnz.an 's
To the editor,
l was extremelv • disappointed by Daniel
Drazan's response to the
criticisms of Bob Pamplin's 12
million doUar 'gilt' posed by
Ivan Drudcer in his two
columns. While 1 agree with
Jvan's opinion, 1 was genuinely
hoping to read a rebuttal of these
opinions that was well though
out, and intelligently addressed
the other side of this issue.
lnst~d. Dra.zan gave us 30 to 40
rolumn inches of rathermfantile
and antagonistic whining and
gloating. The fact that he
obviously represents an
unpopular (on this campus at
least) system o( tradational
beJiefs has nothing to do with
my criticisms of his piece. My
problem stems from the
apparent lack of any supporting
evidence or even rational
thought shown m Drazan's
article. Thisisanimportant issue
that should concern students
and faculty aJike, but the Pio
Log has failed to prov1de
arguments of equal merit tram
both Sides. I suggest that you
byagasnwalhasomewhat more
responsible journalist. To the editor/Daniel Drazan,
I just finished reading both
your (Daniel Draz.an's) article
and Ivan Drucker's in todav's " Pioneer Log. J believe that if
you read over both article!>
again, you will realize that Ivan's
argumentation is much stronger
than yours. He has stated his
points clearly and followed clear
fonns of argumentati on. Your
article, on the other hand, is a
series of personal cuts, srude
comments, overstatement of
Ivan's points and an appeal to
.. loga~ without support at all.
My advice is that if you really
believe as you state, you could
drop all the loaded language
and work on supporting your
arguments more.
"Who could be so boJd as to
look a twelve million dollar gift
horse in the mouth?" Well, Ivan
Drucker, for one; me for another.
Hopefully , all the students at
any ooUege will be bold enough
to question the motivations and
resultsofsuchagift. lfwedon't
question, then we are just
confirming that money controls
and rules aU. I'm not saying
that we must tum down the
money, that we shouldn't use it,
or that we should even think it
is bad, just that we QUESTION
it.
Ivan, your points are weiJ
taken and I now agree with you.
Daniel, J suggest a lit1Je less
name calling and a little more
thought.

of this process it also examined
the college#s mission and ats
organizational structure. In the
report the group stated," At the
present time, both cconomacs
and business are weak at LeWls
and Oark. In the case of
business, this is partially due to
institutional neglect and
partially due to departmental
failures. Whatever the cause,
the result h.ls been a failure to
recruit good new facutty and
this, in tum, has led to denials of
tenure. The students we talked
to seem to expect that if they
find a new fa cut ty member to be
a strong teacher in business or
economics, that person is not
likely to be tenured."

Recommended was a
conscious shift from re5earch·
oriented pathsleadingto tenure
to an emphasis in p.."'dagogical
techniques.
Stating that "the majority of
the faculty and administrators
are looking back"ward rather
than to the future,"' the ~iC'.\'CIS
also recommended rc·
integtatingthenewdepartment
with the rest of the campus and
encouraging joint decision
making between faculty and
administration. The creation or a combmed
department comes at an
opportun~ arne and IS cl05cly
connected to the change to a
semester system. Associate
Professor and former
department chair of the BAS
department, Harold SdUcef.
stated that, "'The fad that we're
gomg to semcste•s means the
curriculum must be rethought.
Timing is such that if you were
gomg to merge the departments
now would be~ time to do it. •
The department also is
linked to the other hot topic at
LC: the Pamplin Scholarships.
One of the Pamplin
Professorships is slotted for the
new Economics department .
This person will come from
outside the school and will be
an eJcper1 that both stUdents and
faculty can draw upon. S/he
will also be the new department
chair. When asked about this,
Schteef said that the .,new
pe.t son may bring in different
perspectives. That could play a.
mapr role in the direction the
department will go."
While the new department
is titled Economics, there will
still be two majors. one in BAS
and one in Economics. There is
litUe opposition to the merger,
from stude.nts or faculty. Most
see It as an opportunity lo
sbcngthcnand integrate the two
departments. ·People "'/ho arc

If you're not in a hurry and
want good Italian food at a reason
able pnce, Merchant of Vcntcc i
the plaer for you.
This tiny restaurant, located at
1432. N.E. Bl"'oldway. Ccaturcs sev
eral pizza and pasta selections as
well as Italian-inspired soups, sal
ads, and sandwiches.
As visitOTS enter Merchant of
Venier they are groctl'd with up
beat music and waiting smells of
pizza and pasta. The front room of
the restaurant is a lightl cury deU
with an informal atmosphere. Four
tables and an extensive wine and
beer 5clcction are located there. The
baclc.roomoftherestawant is more
cozy and lntim.1te. lt has only eight
tables, most of which scat two. Dark
pink walls and indirect l.ightin&givc
the room a European look.
My friend and I sat in the b:ack
room, where I would NOOmmcnd
&itting. Wedcdded tochooscfrom
the pasta &eluction of the menu.
Thercarcsevcrol basic f35l3 dishes
available, including fettuccine, sp:t
ght.>td and lingul.ni pestO. Most of the choit'l'!S are vegetarian or made
with chicken. Prices were very rea
sonable at around S4 a Ia carte and
$5.25 to S6.25 for an entn:e wruch
included salad and garlic bre41d.
I deeded to try the vegetarian
10\sagna, which wa.s very good. The
lasagna h.ld a creamy texture and a
rich cheesy taste.· It wa~ chock fuU
of vegetables, especially brocCX)Ii.
The next rime I go to Merchant of
Venier I plan to try the Chicken
lasagna made with ground chicken,
a welcome vanation from the stan
dard lasagna with ground beef. My
friend tried the fettuccine roast
chicken. 11us dish wa~ another ex
cellent choice as the tender chicken
was complimcntl'Ji by noodles in a
rich cheese l.'!uce.
Another tempting choice w.u
the lour kinds of piz.7..a ft•<ltured on
the menu. At about S2£ullccand $9

Why Basic Inquiry? Why

exactly whatl am talking about.

lack of flexibility wath schedul

and except for two 8 AM sec

is only offered during the 12:30-
1:50 pm time block. This leads
not only to scheduling conflicts
with first-year students, but also
results in unbalanced classes.

People .lt Lewis & Oark of
ten complain about a lack of
communacahon and commu
nlly on the C.tmpuc; This is un
fortunate, because we have a
small enough campuc: that we
shouldn't have these problems.
If the variousconsti tuentsof the

methods of relating to the oth
ers, we might under'.ttand each

Students and administra
tor~ need to develop respect for
one another by being accessible .
As long as students keep blindly
referring to "the administration"
(and we all do it) as a tyrannical
body whose pnmary purpose IS
to subjugate or at least ignore
us, we preclude the chance that
the ad ministration can and does
do anythmg worthwhile . On
top of that, we only gtve them
more power, because they do
pull the strings, and if we see
them as a faceless evil they11
never understand how or why
to pull the strings differently .
The administration are men and women who supposedly
know something about running
a school, and we as students
ought to give them the benefit
ofthedoubt. This doesn't mr•an
that we need to unoitically ac
cept whatever they hand u!». We
need to make our views known,
not by complaming but instead
by communicating in a produc
tive manner. Letters and per
sonal contact arc more effective
than grumbling to friends. Ask
ing questions is much betk'>J' than
saying "I don't like this, it sux,
those bastards." If we won't
address the Administration in a
useful way, we give them justi
fied reason not to listen.
It is vital that the adminis
tration participate in this re
aligned thinking, because if they
do not dcmoru.trate responsive
ness and interest, they will have
proved themselves unworthy of
the students' trust and respect.
This would not be difficult, but
it would requare conscious ef
fort. Communication styles
need to be changed.
If administrators presented
themselves ina way that did not
make them so much an "other.'' • un n:
students would not k-elso skep

There 1s no need for f'resident adrrunistrationdoes not conccr n

to be local celebrities. The
Presidcnr.scondescension when
spc.tking to students must be
eradicated. The endless slew of
sunny announcements made by
the administration are hard to
take seriously when we know
there are problems here. I( ad
ministrators made announce
ments ac; to what is bolh good
and bad here in a direct man
ner, students might come to see
them as people with actual con
cerns and who know we are
concerned. As long as we hear
only good news, we become
convinced there is much hid
den from us. It is a mistake to
think that what conceJ liS the make 01 point of wandering
about, talking tostudents-not
just visible "'leaders,'" but any
student. Often, on the one day a
year the administrators c.Jt in
Bon Appctit, they all sit with
each other. This blows a great
opportunity. They should come
by more frequently , less for
mally, and the usc chance to
find out what ~s going on wilh
students. They should ask ques
tions and provide answe• s, and
should be rcsponsi ve and forth
right. Students should feel free
to see Vice President Williams
and say "'I have concerns :about
the new Core Curriculum be
cause ... " and Vice President
Williams should take that student's comments seriously
and respond sincerely. Admin·
istrator-studcnt conversation
should be a part of campus life,
not a special occasion. Admin
istr.uors should periodically
write something ofsubstancc tn
the Log, appear on l.CJV vol
untarily, and come to student
group meetings.

people, which might m.lke the
above suggestions seem a tnvial
use of their time. But they arc
not trivial at all -at a school
our size, we have no excuse for
bureaucratic structure.. We do
not require administ:mtors spe
cially designated to work with
students(e.g. the Vire-Presidcnt
of Student Affairs and the Dean
of Students) as<J way of keeping
the other adrrunistrators SCpol
rate. It is vital that we talk with
each other. By r~'Ciuci ng the
"otherness" between students
and administrators, we can de
velop genuine respect for one
another. It would take the effort
of all here, but we would sec
complaints of no community

Confusion Abounds Among First-Year Students
by MEGAN WIU..lAMc;QN •
LAURBL MOHAN -
On the eighth of September,
498 cries could be heard. All
seemed to echo the same
senttment: "Help me! I'm so
lost!" From finding the right
classroom to obtaining proper
medical care, not a clue could be
found. Peeling lost is an
expected and reasonable
reaction to being in a new
envuonment. However, many
first year students felt, and to
some extent still do feel, that
more could have been done to
ease the pam of being a new
student. Lewis& Oark is a relatively
small college, known for 1t's
friendly environment Many
first year students expected tht.s
to be. reflected in orientation
The first-year students quickly
became disgruntled by the entire
settling-in process. For example,
regtstering for classes was a
Uving hell. We were thrown
into an arena to fend for
ourselves the day before classes
started. 11us is the standard
procedure every term but for
first year students it would be
much less overwhelming if
another means of registration
could be found or more
guidance offered. Some first year o;tudents were fortunare
enough to have been matched
w1th an advisor who was
helpful. Others had advtsors
who did no more than hand
them the blank yellow form with
their signature on it. Many new
students did not know how to
get long distance a:.!ling set up,
what to do about obtaining
medical LOSurance, or, a very
basic need, how to find their
classes. ln general, the entire
process was very impersonal
and intimidating.
Unfortunately most
students found that they were
not wellenoughmformed. More
could have been done to make

campus, I think that we are more
than deserving of our own well
funded support group.
To rrulke my point clearer. I
Ill C II Hence I will say that they
have more true politica.l diversity
than LC. Through &his analogy it
foUows that lhe liberal stigma as
sociated with LC is more detrimen
tal lhnn beneficial regarding politi
calfreedomof~pn:ssiao. Todeny
the implication of such an analogy
is 10 harlx>r the elitiSt view that LC
studentS are inoinsicly more en
lightened than students at other in
stitutions.
LC is a fine academic institu·
lion and the LC community should
be proud of this nnd strive to butld
upon this repu&ati.on. As a by
product of pursuing this end, LC
wiU attract a more diverse student
body. by anrncting more studenlS
with the intention oC being edu·
catod libcmlly. not being indottri·
natod into politicallibelalisrn. the arduous period of
adjustment easier for the
unenlightened masses.
Few of the many questions
new studentc; have can be
answered by the student
handbook , and most people
don't even bother to read it.
Somehow a close relationship
between each student, or each
small group of students, and
some knowledgeable person
who is willing to be a resource,
needs to be estlblished. Perhaps
orientation should include more
appointed time to develop these
relationships with someone,
such as an Resident Assistant.

is to do on a Saturd.1y night

No matter what is done,
orientation will always be a
confusing and oft~n painful
process. But there are measures
that can be taken at a small
school such as LC that will
make it easier lo settle in. 'The

This is particularly frustrat·

Lewis & Clark is its small class

The lectures also create
problems for the "lucky• fresh

of them have to sacrifice an af

Perhaps if these and other
issues had been addressed at an component parts of Bl that I
object to~ as opposed to the fact
that I was rtquirtd to take a
course which runs so counter to
my interests and learning style.
Every student has hisorhcrown
unique teaming style and pref

the administration assumes that.
everyone is identical in such
matters and set up classes like
BI accordingly.
I sincerely hope that next

that they will be of equal value
to everyone and, accordingly,
require everyone to take them.
