forced to alter his act at lhe last

Jake Chatters, director of
Students Organized for Activi­
ties (SOFA), explained the cir-cumstances behind the strange
law.
"Since l 991. and every year
after 1991, we have had Mark
Pittman do shows at Lf involving

A change in the structure of the powers that be at LC
~Jeff Shew
A restructuring has
taken place in the way
lewis & Clark's system of
Deans and Vice Presi­
dents works. Unlike the
old system which sepa­
rated ~ludent affairs and
ac-.1dcmlc affairs, the new
W\tem ha~ formed two
N•dies which will work
together on College
decisions.
Jane Alkinson has I taken over responsiblli­
ties as Dean of the Col­
lege this year. The
change most relevant to
students is the breaklng
down of the division
between student and
academic affairs, she
said.
"The most Important
thing for the students Is
that we no longer have
~eparnte departments for
student affairs amJ aca­
demic affairs. In the
past, you had Mudent affairs and academic
affairs working sepa­
rately, only joined at the
1op, only joined at cenain
points." Atklnson said.
Instead of having four
Vice-Presidents repon to
the President of the
College, two new councils
have been created and
new re.sponslblllt les
assigned to them.
"Before, the President
mel with the four VP~.
Now, there are two bod­
ies: The Dean's Coundl Involves the Dean or the
College, the Dean of the
Graduate School. and the
Dean of the Law School.
They are the body whlch
plans the bud11e1 ... what
lhis i:; doing is putllng

budgeling process,"
Atkinson explained.

Sarah Strafford was disturbed that ll·
Rodda was leaping to condusions c.
about the reaction of students, and
she felt lhal the coundl was get-ti,

This week's ASLC council meet­
Ing started with a birthday cake
brought by Michael Ford to cel­
ebrate council president Cory
Curtis's birtJ1day. There were also
some halfheaned attempts to bribe
me in order to Improve relations
with the Pioneer Log.
Michael Ford spoke briefly
about the council's decision last
week lo stop using him as their of­
ficial advisor. He said he had en­
joyed working with them during
the last few years, and that he
didn't necessarily agree with their
reasoning, but he wished them well
In general and In their search for a
new advisor. He told the council he
wasn't taking the decision person·
ally and would continue to be avail­
able for con.~ultalion. Curtis told
the councll he was planned to con­
tinue consulting with Ford on an
informal basis.
11 losl of the rest of the meeting
was wetll discussing applicants for
the posit.Ions of Conunlttee Coor•
dlnator and Charter Commi.ssion
Chair, as well as choosing a replace­
ment for Ford as the coundl's ad­
visor. After lengthy discussion.
longtJme ASLC associate Tracy
Rodda was unanimously approved
as rbe new· Committee Coordinator,
and newcomer Lauren B0ytnegra
was approved 6--1 as the Charter
Commission Chair.

missed as Dean of Acad(!J111cA!falr!>
la~t year, and now servC!> as execu­
t.lve assistant lo college pre'ildent
!'-Uchael Mooney, came to the coun
ell meeting as a prospective re­
placement for Michael 1-ord. He said
I.run he'd be .. interested and hon-ored to serve·• as advisor to the
council, and that he was well posl­
ti.oned to act as a link to the fac•
ult}• and administration. He said
he'd act as an Information source
for the council but knew better
than to cry to control it. He was
asked whether he'd be able to main•
rain impanJaJity in c!Jrect conflicls
between Mooney and t.11e council,
and answered that he felt he could
keep himself detached, and acl as
an effective conduit between
Mooney and the coundl. He also
noted that as a tenured professor
of chemistry, he cannot be com­
pletely Ored. He asked what the
council was looking for in an advi­
sor, and the answers included
bringing information about tl1e
administration's view of council
proposals, and offering useful ad­
vice when the council became
bogged down or wandered inlO
strange territory. Willia ms nn ishcd
by saying that he believes strongly
In student government and wants
to do everything he can to keep it
running we.lJ.
lie then left the room whUe the
t.-Oundl debated over whether to
choose him. Mlchael Ford had heen
officially voted our on I.he basis or
a conflict or interest between his
role as Director of Student Life and
the advisor position. and Tracy
Rodda was worried that Williams
would have an even worse conflict
of interest. Other members dis­
agreed. and fell lhat he'd be an
excellent bridge to both the faculty
and the administration, and would
be able to step back whenever there
\Ylll> a conflict. Rodda mentioned
that choosing someone so close LO
the aurnimstmuon might be se.en
by students as "ASLC siding \\ilh
the adm,nistralion, again." Shelby Williams than with Ford. Eventu• m
ally, thecoundl.approved Williams. tJ-
During the approval process i r
and throughout the meeting, there h:
was concern for how the ASLC
could stay in touch with students. ls
They wanted to know how the new 01
coundl representatives would keep
in louch with student opinion. and L
Strafford was very Involved in f
plans to keep Sludents informed of
the council's actions. Communica­
tion with the residence hall coun-p
ells was considered a key way to
keep in touch with students.
Budget and Finance officer h:
Brandon Zakahi, revealed that the te
ASLC's financial reserves had s,
dropped to an excepllonally low u:
level, and said that he'd like to dis-b,
cuss policies for dealing wllh c
groups tha1 consistently go over
budget during the next meeting. d
Council members spent a few min· u:
utes giving reports on lhelT actlvl-u
ties in various commlltees during p,
the last week. There was also some
discussion of new legis,lallon In

Welcome to the New Ponderosa ~
~-Ni • ..,.. Noel Jobosoo
Changes in school policy
brought abour physical changes in
the school as well. Last year, a new
school policy came Into effect re­
quiring freshman and sophomores
to live on campus. Ou.e to this, lhe
building of Ponderosa was con­
vened back into a dom1itory for
more space, after being used for
office purpose.\ for a few years.
Ponderosa hM two floors of
bedroolTI!., wilh two quads on each
Ooor. Students, new and returning.
Ond that they like Ponderosa, for
the most part. Freshman Jane
Hallln said. ·r don't llke lh:11 It's
such a small dorm compared to
mhen." Iler roommate Kendra Gullickson mentioned, "The small
size also makes you feel llke you
are parl or a family, and I like the
diversity of my dorm mates."
Returning student Rosanne
Scott, residing In a quad, said she
and her roommates picked Ponde­
rosa because they thought It would
be lhe coolest dorm. but they have
discovered that isn 'l necessarily the
case. The biggest complaint is the
bathrooms. Residents find cJiat
$howers nuctuale in tlmlperature
often, and there Is no ventilation.
The bathrooms are also co-ed. and
Rosanne th mks there aren't enough
stalls for all the floor mates. She
explo.lncd, "lfl have lO pee and both
stalls are taken, '-'hal should l do,
use the urinal;"
But there are a lol of amenities ti'
that Ponderoslans can take advan-I
tage of. There was free internet and
cable hook-up In each room. Each
room has large windows and spa•
dous rooms. The quads are quite
big, but the singles are old lounges
split in half. Residents feel that it is
cool lo be a part of lhe Forest
dorms, yet dose co the bus-stop and
Templeton. All the rooms have
brand-new furnit1.1re, with nice
desks, dosets and chairs.
The move nas turned out to be
a smooth one. There are always
problems chat go along with dorm
living, such as a 5:20 am Ore alann

CoP,eland Gets Facelift
~ Marni Hendley ]
For those of you who
don'l live In Copeland
dorm, you might be wish­
Ing you did. Over the sum­
mer Copeland go1 a Sl.S
million facelift making ll
I.he most modem dorm cm
campus.
Some of the new amenl­
lies include In-room heat­
Ing controls and net and
cable hook ups. The ortgl­
nal plan, whlch was drafted
five or six years ago, was
Jus1 to replace lhe leaky
plumbing. In the last six
months lhey have added
lhe rest of lhe renovations,
Including making D-20
handicap accessible.
The contractors fin·
!shed with the major work
on August 25th, one day after schedule. This sur­
prised many since the
project was so large. Oean
up and final touches were
stllJ being done during NSO,
but Copeland staff were
able to move ln August
22nd.
M(The contractor's] at•
tentlon to detail was really
impressive," said Laura
Zinniker, Copeland's Resi­
dent Director. Despite this
lhere are still some prob­
lems wilh water pressure
and the wrong size shower
curtains. While no one has
noticed tbe shower cur­
tains, students are com­
plaining about the push
button showers and sinks,
the lack of hot water, and
water pressure.
The showers and sinks
were outfitted with buttons
that you have co push for approximately .30 seconds
of 1vater. This was done in
an effort to lower energy
costs and conserve water.
Despltestudem complaints
lhese are not going to be
removed, but the sinks will
be adjusted to 10 seconds.
Director or Physical
Plant Services, Richard
Bettaga, did report that the
problem wirh hot water
should be fixt:cL Thls sum­
mer they replaced the wa­
ter pumps, buu once Stu·
dents moved In they real·
ized that the thermostats
also needed to be replaced.
Bettaga met with con­
t.ractors on Thursday to dis•
cuss solutions for the water
pressure and make a deci­
sion on the short curtalns.
The curtain dlllemma was
solved for now by putting
extensions on the hooks.

remained well-received, Chatters
felt. "We had about three hundred

Only one other stale, Kansas,

ters.. "It Is widely publicized in Kan­
sas, but here IL is vinuaJJy
unknown .. .it is an unenforced law
because no one knows about It,"
Chatters said.
According co Chatters, the cru­
cial part of the statute ls that it Is
illegal to "display someone In a
trance for entertainment pur­
poses."
Pittman was forced to alter his show on some level to adapt to the
statute.
"Mark also does a mysticism
show ... ESP, mind tricks, lhlngs JJke
that. So we had hlm do that for
about ten minutes of the thirty
minute show. The rest of the show
was a symposium on hypnollsm,
where Mark would put people In
the audience In a trance. They
wouldn't go up on stage, so they
wouldn't be displayed for enter­
tainment. People enjoyed It, but it
was purely educational," Chauers
said. show," said Chatters.
Some, on the other hand, felt
that the statute toned down
Pittman's act.Mil seemed funnier
last year,• said Junior Ben Harfst.
~He did more specific things geared
t,oward entertainment.~
Chatters expressed his eager­
ness to fight the 1971 statute so
shows like Pittman's could happen
a,galn at LC and In Oregon. The stat­
ute. ORS 167.870, reads in full: "A

Jane Atkinson named as the new dean of the college

of the College Evan WIIJiams,
who now holds the position Assis­
tant to the President.
"[Williams] Is the stand in for
the President when the President
is away ... he also coordinates both
lhese councils. He prepares the
agenda and helps coordJnate,"
Atkinson said.
Alklnson said that the goal of
these changes Is to better serve stu• dent needs and College needs by
establishing more effective commu­
nication.
"We're trying to knit them to­
gether and have better
communication ... my challenge Is
making sure I don't drown. as well
as coordinating all the necessary
groups in their communication. We
hope it'll be a much more student·
oriented system this way,"
Atkinson said. New tools will be utilized as well
as a new structure. Atkinson hopes
to utilize forum-style discuss to fos·
ter communkation among those
involved with the new system.
"I want to rely more and more
on informal forums to educate and
communicate to others what's go­
Ing on in the other pans of the in­
stitution. We're doing this right
now on the budget lssue .. .l lhlnk
this kind of approach can be used profitably on a variety of issues for
students, staff, and faculty,"
Atkinson s.-iid.
According to Atkinson, the goal
will be a more cohesive system
which Is nexJble and responsive.
• ... we bring cogelher a variety
of perspectives from a variety of
people In the inslltullon. Uitl·
mately, the goal Is making things
run smoother for the students,•
Atkinson summarized.

view will be accountable to that

Hobbs expresses fear that such
policies take too much power out
of the hands of lhe studems.
"What makes me the most wary won't happen. In the va.~t majority
of cases, there are going to be sanc­
tions that make sense and we are
going to help students address
problems that lhey bring to this
College," Ford sald.
Other reforms have ta.ken place
In this comprehensive restructur­

A new position has been created
which Laura Zinniker. RD In

an example of how the appeals pro­

responsible for hearing appeals.
On the constitutionality Issue,
Ford stated that policies wrltten In
The Pathfinder do rake precedence
over the ASLC constitution.
When asked "Does The Path­
finder supercede the ASLC constl•
tution?" Ford responded "Sure It
does."
"Legally, In terms of College In·
leractlon with the students, the
governing documents are the Col·
lege catalog and policies dedved
thereof ... and the student handbook
Is the other govemlng document.
It deals with the whole issue of Stu•
dent life," Ford said.
Ford also explained that the about this policy is that despite as­
surances made to the Chief Justice.
Campus Life makes all lhe decisions
on judicial matters," said Hobbs.
Ford feels that many sources
have had their input considered.
"\"'hat I'd reinforce is thal, even
though Nathan may have a differ­
ent perspective on this. is that there
are lots of students consulted on
this. The Chief Justice lastyearwas
consulted, Campus safery .. .lots of
people who were involved in the
system In addition to Peer Review
Board," said Ford.
Ford emphasized that these
moves were.designed to strengthen
the system, not express a lack of
confidence in the newly elected
Hobbs.
"I know he's had concerns
about being systematically over­
looked In thls ... [but) this says noth-
1 ng about our confidence In
Nathan. It says that the system was
broken and needed fixing." Ford
said.
Ford denied that any reforms
were intended to take power from
the students.
"I know there's some who might
caricature this as • Administration
takes power from students.· I don't
see It that way at all. I see that the
Administration recognized a sys­
tem that wasn't working very well
and went In very carefully with stu­
deocs not only oo the Judicial end,
but also on the enforcement end.
and said 'How <."an we make that
system better?'~
As an example of how the sys­
tem can check and balance Itself,
Ford offered the fact that RDs can
excuse themselves from cases If
they feel unable to adjudicate
fairly.
"So, if an RD feels-and I thin.k
that's lo their professional Judg­
ment-that they can't be fair ... that cases they heard could've been
heard by a professional staff mem­
ber being paid for their time," said
Zinniker.
Additionally, the policy on open
hearings has been changed. In the
past, hearings were "open "'-that Is,
the general publlc could observe
them-if the accused wished to
have the hearings open. Ford be·
Ueves this caused a "circus almo­
sphere," where "accused studen.:s
have inappropriately 'cross-exam­
ined' witnesses ... ~
To remedy the situation. the
new policy requires both the ac­
cused and the witnesses In a case
to request an open hearing. Oth­
erwise, such hearings will be dosed.
Li ngulstlc changes were a.I so
made to clarify the Code of Con­
duct which exists in The Pathfinder .
"Minor changes [have been
made.) We used co say 'commu•
nity service hours'; Now we'll say
'community restitution,' because of
a concern about 'service' being a
punlshment ... l think a well•
founded [concern.] I feel really
good about chat, • said Zinnlker.
Sanctions available will remain
essentially the same, however.
Ford stressed his belief lhar the
system would work better for the
majority of the students.
"If a system isn't working well,
and we were certainly ro chat point
last year with Peer Review Board,
then people will choose not to use
the system. Campus Safety will
choose not to use the systems ... RAs,
RDs, will choose not to use the sys­
tem because people tire if they're
nor getting an effective result. So
how do you work with that system
to preserve the elements that are
very good ... while at the same time
reinforcing and coming up with a
mechan.lsm that responds to these
other concerns? I think we've struck a balance on that this year:
Ford said.
"And what grew our of this Is, 1
think, much beuer for the vast
majority or the student.~ who don 'l
Interface wilh the system at all. The
many don't interface with the
system ... lL's the relatively Cew, who
I don't think respected It much to
start with," Ford said.
Hobbs, however, objected to the
potential impact or the changes.
"Probably the. thing that con­
cerns me the most Is that nothing
Is absolute under the new rules ... a
concrete system was taken out and
replaced with one which can be
in0uenced far too much by admin­
istrative control," Hobbs said.

Seven surpasses while Showgirls stinks ii
~-Vi I :: Brett Beach 1c
The central underlying difference
berween Sholl'girls and Seven, aside
from the ract lhaL one ts 1nnn11ely
more 1hough1-provok.ing, engaging,
~u?<>rbly utQd, o.nd t:mo.rtly wriuen
than the other, Is chat while Showgirls
professes to show us the dark side of
life, ll reall}' only offers us more
self-lmponant would-be parn from
the cre.·uors of Basic lnscJnc:1. Seven
which starts out looking llke an
,1bove nvtrage detective thrlller,
wind~ up telling us more about the
dark side or life than any other
malru,Lream movie this yl!ar.
On a very base level, I have a
~mall iota of admiration for screen
\,rlter Joe htcrhas and director
Paul Verhoeven. They once again
haw done the requisite bang-up job
of turning their coltaborntion Into
a metlia fren1.y about absolutely
nolhing. Once lhe world got wind
of lhc fact lhat the duo would be
doing n drama about L.u Vegas
dan,ers nnd showglrls, and would
.1uually be turning a mm lhaL
would receive an NC-I 7 rating, lhe
buzz began. As expected, It was all
empty sound ,,nd fury, much like
the film ltselr.
The plot. a term that I and the
screenplay use loosely, concerns
Nomi (l:llzabeth Berkley) a woman
with no past, who as the ntm opens 1s
hitching a ride out to Las Vegas to
become a dancer. The opening se­
quente in which the man who gives
her a ride tries to get her to ·scoot
over a liule closer" is so hilariously
bad, I thought for a second that
Showgirls might be this year's Color or Night, a movie so godawful, It's
loopily entertaining. No such luck.
Once she arrives, Nomi beg.ins her
rise up the ladder, starting off at a
sleazy nightclub and working up Lo a
role in Goddess, lhe biggesr show in
town. A good portion or the mm is
spent in staging these performances
and after seeing lhcm, I'm stlll In awe
that a a large amount of the $40 mil-Uon budget went Into lhelr produc­
tion. They're so numbingly ridiculous
that watching them becomes an en­
durance teM, much like lhe rest or the
mm.
Soon Nomi Is doing whatever It
takes lo get to Lhe top, only pulled
back down to earth towards the end
by a nL-cdless and ugly subplot that
has no place in a ntm of this low-cali­
ber. The mm ends \\~th her supposed
redemption, though she is heading off
10 LA., and still seems like a petulant
brat to me.. In the end, lhe true test
of the failure of Showgirls Is that it
remains so defiantly unerotic and
unarousing. Any movie bullt on the
notion of parading Its stars around
naked that seems bored doing so, de­
serves only one star.
A million light years in the oppo·
site direction Is Seven, a Olm that has
gotten ilS own kind of advance atten·
lion, essentially for starring the couple
of the moment, Brad Pill and Gwyneth Paltrow, In their first mm together.
Luckily for us, there is so much more
that the film has to offer.
The Olm take~ place over the
course of a week In New York Qty, as
retiring Detective Sommerset (Morgan
Freeman) Is paired up with a recent
transfer, Detective Mllls (Brad Pill).
Already, the plot sounds like the typi­
cal cop buddy movie, but rest assured,
any chance for dtches to pop up Is
consistenlly vanquished by the dark,
lahyrlnLhlne, screenplay.
The frlcllon between the pair t.akes
a backseat once they realize that the
serial klller they are hunting ls intent
on toying with them both. He Is a dia­
bolically genius wacko who i~ model­
lin1; bis crimes after the seven deadly
sins (In the opening crime, It turns out
he forced an Impossibly obese man Lo
eat untll his stomach bursts. The sin,
of course, is Gluttony).
The emphasis throughout, with the
ex.ception of one nigb.tmarish chase scene, Is on cerebral thrills and the r.
ghoullsh aftermath of the crimes. 1r

Upon listening to "Chick Rock,'' I found
myself listening to two dilTerent sou.nds on
one album. Songs one to four, including the
title track "Chick Rock,• have a very punk rock
sound. They have very consistent guitar and
drumming under the strong lyrics. There are
no fancy guitar riffs, and the band really plays
as one. Then the style changes. Songs nve to
eleven, starting with "Now Is Your Next Time •
feature much more of a solid rock sound.
"Now Is Your Next Time" features the Orst
guitar solo on the album and leads the way
for several more similar, guitar Jamming
songs. Lyrically, the cone stays consistent with
the most part, never going above or below
the music_ The last song on the album titled
•AM," is nothing like any song on the ~lbum.
• AM" is a soft, mellodic, Pearl Jam like bal­
lad. l think it was the best song on the album.
Overall, I was disappointed with "Chick Rock."
The punk sounding songs did not have much
variety and were very simple lyrically. They
featured songs Jlke "Yeah Yeah Yeah" and
"One Night Stand." The solid rock sounding
songs wer<: the same for the most part, with­
out much imagination lyrically.
Swlvelneck was much different from what I had
expected. I expected a speed guitar or straight punk
rock ~ound.
Instead, Swlvelneck produced many progressively
moving from slow 10 fast to ~low songs. Lyrically, the
songs seem well wrluen and nre sung at a very mellow
tone for the most pan. "Diamond St" or "California"
perhaps cpitoml1ed the sound that Swlvelneck
produced. The music is played and sung very much
together as many songs featu.n!d strong background
locals. The later songs on the album, like
"Rollcrfriend," featured a faster, more punk sound
and style which I had expected. I thought the album
wa~ _falrl)· decent. ll was competent lyrically and
musically. I found it much easier to listen lo than

Do you think there's
something·wmng when you
pay S22,000 3 year to go to
LC and the cashiers office
won'tcven transferSlOOof
a S323 refund to yourTrall
Room account? I think
there's sormethlng horribly
wrong with this, and it hap­
pened to me.
My parents have a con­
tract \'lith a company called
AMS whjcb lets them pay
for my tuition monthly.
When my parents have paid
AMS for my full tuition,
AMS then pays the College.
Things were going fine
until I decided to switch my
meal plan. Upon malting
this change I was told I
would receive a credit or
$323 to my account. A few
days later l went to Lhe
cashiers office to get my
refund. After waiting over
40 minutes in Line to speak
with a cashier, she told me
I could not get a refund
since my parents had not paid ln full, because they
were working through AMS.
She told me that the cash­
iers office could not take
the S323 out of my parents
next monthly payment, nor
could they even transfer
$ LOO of the refund to my
Trail Room account. The
cashier said that when my
parents had paid in full
(which will be in December)
LC will then send them a
check for the S323.
Finding this an un­
reasonable answer, I spoke
with the bead cashier's as­
sistant and with Michael
Ford, dean of students.
When talking to the cash­
iers assistant, I got the same
answers and excuses as be­
rore. When I spoke with
.Ford he was quite under­
standing of my situation,
and thoroughly investi­
gated it: however, he could
not ftx this problem either.
Ford was very gracious In
helping me find an alterna­
tive solution, but the origi-

Th_e e~olution o~ a freshman nightmare
A first-year student complains about Inventing America, while a
sophomore emphasizes the improvements that have been made
n11t; L .. wandgwsJ<I I
The typical frosh
lhmks college is the best
opportunity lO let loose
afler being under the reign

1 Inventing America extln·

freedom. We all under-
~ stand that last year's d;i.ss

this year the professors

: also expect a lot from stu·
dents. Among lectures,
essays, readings and daily
wrlllag assignments I re­
illy wonder if this class
: should be considered a six­
teen credit dass for all the
time commitment we are
supposed to pul in to It.
For example, we
are discussing Aristotle,
Locke, and Hobbes which I
am sure none of us read In
blgh school. Yet I get the
Impression that the profes­
sors expect us to have
1 heard of
and/or tor of Inventing America ts
the lecture series which
seems like a nice break
from class discussion, but
Is even more dry than
class. The flrst lecture by
Professor Valeri about the
Puritan World Communlcy
was interesting just for the
fact that he was into giv­
ing the lecture. The sec­
ond lecture was another
story. Professor Johnson
lectured on the Republican
Tradition and most people
enjoyed a little cat nap
through that one. Hope­
fully this arid lecture won'c
be lhe norm for the re­
maining ones.
Finally and most
lmponantly, the prof
makes the class. Some
profs are really into the
whole concept of Inventing
America a11d give a very
dlstlnct angle to the class.
Then some are almost as
confused as the students.
How were the professors
picked co teach this class
anyway? Whatever the ba­
sis was for choosing certain

So that is how In­
venllng America is seen by
one student of tbe Class of
'99. Everyone should see
the humor and take Ir with
a grain of salt. I think that
is how everyone of the
freshmen are thinking of
Inventing America. ~-fl Nae!Jahnsao I
There will probably
never come a day, at least
in the near future, where
Lewis and Clark students
will rejoice about their re­
quired class, Inventing
America, and look forward
to the MWF I :50-2:SO time
slol. There wlll always be
complaints. And here I am,
a sophomore, stiJI com­
plaining. First, I would like
to make some things dear.
I got a lot out of the course.
l did not think I could learn
more about American His­
rory than what had been
drilled lo my brain during
all my previous :schoollng,
but I did. Whal I would like
to focus on are the drastic
changes made between last
year and this year. I won't
listen to any freshman com­
plaining about the course.
Well, I will, it just gets me a
bit upset.
First of all, the biggest
change i can think of is the
number and cost of books.
I remember very well tbac
we had to buy l l books.
and two point of making the leaures
a part of the curriculum, or
at least more Interesting.
Maybe they will
make a better job of Incor­
porating Jovlslble Man this
year. Those In IA this year,
as far as t know, get to read
lhis book over Christmas
break. I loved the book. I
know a lot of people who
did. It is a special favorite
of Professor Callahan, who
personally knew the author,
Ralph Ellison. Last year's
students had a few gripes
with this, though. For one
thing, some people
couldn't, or didn't, read the
upwards of 500 pages over
Christmas Break. They re­
senled having to do so.
Other students dldn 't un­
derstand why fiction was so
Important for an American
History dass. I wondered
why we finally got to the
book weeks after the win­
ter break, after I had forgot­
ten a lot ofit. Many thought
we spent too much time on
it overall.
I really hace to be a
complainer, so t will say
this: for the rlrsl year, the
staff did

pressed
t h e
memory of the actual cost,
but I do remember the two
packets, out of 13 reading
materials, cost S60 to­
gether. Sophomores estl·
mate the cost of the books
to have been at least S200,
as opposed to $70 for the
THREE books the freshman
had to buy this year. Stu­
dents were allowed to buy
two of these books used,
while last year's students
were not. I paid less than
S200 for all my books my
second semester last year.
Was this an amazing feat,
or actually what books for
a semester should cost?
The next thln,g is not so
clear<ut. I suppose I would
like to somewhat ease the
load of thls year's fresh­
men, by telling them things
could be worse. We were
used as guinea pigs. It was
our comments that brought
about so many changes for
thls year. And I can foresee
some changes that might
not have happened yet, bur
will. One thing lhal bugged
us was that the lectures
seemed pointless. Perhaps
they have already made a I n g
America. And it is a bit
thankless, since it is re·
quired. I'm sure chere
would be much less com­
plaint if students chose this
course. but we resent ha v­
lng to tal<e It. Some inrer­
national students don't see
why lhey have to take the
course. And some profes­
sors had to teach the course
so there would be enough
teachers for all the fresh­
men, even though U.S. His•
tory was not their forte.
I think a group of stu­
dents had to be the guinea
pigs. And thar was the class
of 1998. I suppose lt ls good
that they take our ideas for
changes Into consideration,
Instead of keeping things
the same.
It ls egotistical to think
we were the only ones who
thought up changes. The
committee works very hard
to make lA interesting and
worthwhile. Of course, w.hat
fun would students have Jf
we didn't have something
to complain about? So, we
continue. Everyone, brace
yourselves ...... it doesn't
stop here. I Pittmon cont,nued from
page 8
some Instances, may be
tough to draw. Is It
wrong for the govera­
men t lo protect us
from ourselves by say­
ing we can't shoot
heroin? That we have
co wear seat belcs?
These are contestable
Issues. probably be•
cause they don't In­
volve something like
entertainment. These
are life-and-death Is­
sues, not Issues of a
free and fun time. And
maybe that's why they
are so hotly contested.
However, l can't
think of anybody dis­
agreeing with me on
this one: the law
should be repealed.
College students, staff.
and faculty are adults:
we are more than ca­
pable of choosing what
entertainment may do
us bodily or emotional
harm. It's when you
start letting them tell
you we aren't capable
that people Like Tipper
Gore and Jerry Falwell
start thinking for us,
telt\ng us that Snoop
Doggy Dogg will make
us want ~o ~smoke"
customers at the coffee
shop while sucking
down a cold 40-dog of
the Olde English. En­
tertainment as a cause
of violence or accident
Is a load of crap touted
by morality police who
want co enforce mind­
less standards on oth·
ers. It's got to stop
somewhere.
I'm not saying hyp­
notism is the key issue,
the watershed, the boll­
Ing point, the critical
threshold In determln-
1 ng whether the au­
thoritarian moralists
wllJ grip our fruit bas·
kets: Just the opposite.
Hypnotism is probably
the least controversial
thing you will read
about In this column.
It is fun, and we should
be able to go see a show
ifwewantto. Thesame
principles that apply
when we resist censor­
ship apply here. Leg­
islating morality ln en­
tertainment accom­
plishes nothing: it
never has and It never
will. Let Mark Pittman
perform here like he
does in 48 other stares. Page

Wild card race adds big excitement to MLB
r·M Chris I _ Schaffer
As Lhe 1995 baseball
season winds down to Its
last weeks, che new playoff
and divisional system that
created an extra division
and a wild card playoff
team has added a new level
of excitement to the game.
In each league, several dl­
vlslon 1\llnners have already
cilnched or will soon cilnch
division titles, however the
race for the one wild card
spot Is stlll very much In the
a1r in each league and may
not be decided till the last
days of the season.
in the American League.
the central dlvision has al·
ready been decided, and
the east is virtually locked
up. In the Central, the
Cleveland Indians,
perenlally a last place team,
have put It all together this season, combining a power·
ful lineup with a solid pitch·
ing staff to blow away their
competition. The Indians
have played at near a . 700
clip, leadlng their division
from wire to wire and eas­
ily Winnlng It. In the East,
the Boston Red Sox have
been a big surprise, easily
leading the division favor­
ites New York Yankees and
Baltimore Orioles. As of
Tuesday nlght, the Red Sox
had cilnched at least a tie
for the division title. Boston
has been led by MVP can­
didate first baseman Mo
Vaughn, shortstop John
Valentln, and pitching sur•
prise Tim Wakefield. 1n the
west, the d.lvision Is stiU
very much up for grabs.
The California Angels held
a commandlng lead until
August, when they sud­
denly collapsed. Their lead
over the second place Se-attle Mariners is down to
Just nvo games. It looks as
if the Mariners will chal­
lenge the Angels these last
weeks. Then there is the
chase for the wild card. Cur•
renlly there are four teams
battllng for the single wild
card spot: I.he Seattle Marl·
ners, New York Yankees,
Kansas Cily Royals, and
Texas Rangers. The Mari­
ners are currently in the
lead for the spot, but only
lead by one game over New
York and Kansas City, with
Texas two back. These
teams should battle until
the final week of the season
before a winner Is decided.
Any one of the four teams
could come away with the
wild card spot.
In the Nallonal League,
the same situation Is at
hand. The east and central
have already been decided
or vlnually clinched. 1n the east, the Atlanta Braves, led
by Greg Maddux and the
rest of their awesome pitch·
ing staff, dominated the dl·
vision, winning for the
fourth straight year. 1n the
central, the Cincinnati Reds
have Just about clinched,
easily leadi.ng second place
Houston. The Reds have
been powered by an excel·
Jent pitching staff and a
dangerous lineup that fea­
tures all-stars Barry Larkin,
Reggie Sanders, and Ron
Gant. The western division
features the only race in the
league. The Colorado
Rockies lead the Los Ange­
les Dodgers by a single
game. The two teams have
been trading places be­
tween first and second and
their race should be de­
cided towards the final days
of the season. In the Na-
1ional League wild card
chase, the Dodgers cur-rently hold the lead 01,
the Houston Astros by<
game. However, with Col
rado only leadlng Los Al
geles by a game, the Dod
ers are battling for both ti
division title or the wH
card spot. Colorado, l(
Angeles, and Housto
should battle ll out doll
the stretch before a divisiO
and wild card winner Is (
nally decided.
ln both leagues. the ne
playoff format has added
new level of excitement t
what otheryvtse might ha1
been a year without muc
regular season drama. Wb
