ASLC temporarily suspends strike
n MAm11AS F•1PP
lier agonizing for
hours over whether
10 call il strike that
they felt wouldn't ad•
volllro their negotiating goals, or
1 IO call it olf and risk appearing
cowardly, the ASLC council
chose to suspend their strike
this week.
Council members were di­
vided more within themselves
th.vi between each other. Many
..iid lhcy simultaneously saw
>troog reasons for going out on
,trike and for calling of( the
,lrlkc.
Shelby Urlt:r., who origl•
nally pro•
posed the
,trike as n current constitution. Hobbs
liked the sense of urgency the
strike threat had created, and he
felt that the administration had
been acting in good faith. How­
ever, he didn't think an imme­
diate strike would accomplish
much. He didn't wanl to give
up the council's #strong option•
of going on strike, and he
thought the best choice might
be to set a new strike date, pos­
sibly at the end of this term, so
the administration would know
the council was still serious.
Hobbs said pact of him felt lil\e
things were going wcll with the
administration, while another were also worried that students
would feel that the council was
backing down ~~tthout achlev­
ing its goals, and would con­
sider them weak-willed. They
were ruso womcd that the in•
lerest generated by the current
slrlke phm might dissipate if ii
were called off =d students
would then be unwilllng lo
rally around a future strike
date. They felt that calling off
the strike would weaken their
position, and to some degree
leave them trustil'llg their fate to
the good will o( the adnurostra­
tion. At one point, Rodda con•
ducted an Informal poll and

o( the danger of having a strike
always looming, and the tur­

dent groups needing to get

for negot:itions, but that no ne­
gotiations had yet taken place.
DeAn o( the College Jane
Atkinson had not yet found a
&mior faculty member willtng
to sit on the negotiating com­
mittee. Uritzfelt theadmlnistra·
lion had been acting in good
faith, but she was frustrated by
the lack of real progress.
Nathan Hobbs said he had
received a letter from Dean of
Students Michael Ford meeting
his request for enumeration of
dw parts of the ASLC cons ti tu­
lion that Ford felt conflicted
with the Pathfinder. However.
Ford had stopped short of

Tracy Rodda agreed; "I'm
totally with Nathan, because
I'm right in the middle." She
said progress was being made,
but she continued to feel pa­
tronized by the administration.
Several other council members
also described their inability to
sort the issue out.
In addition to the problem
with the yet-unformed negoti­
ating com.mittee and the short·
comings or th!) letter from Ford,
the council was concerned
about giving up the prime op­
portunity to strike on the week­
end of the Fall Open House for
prospective students. They met. This would
have seemed lo
ob ligate them to
go-on strike.
However, at heart, the
council felt like a strike would
be a bad idea. Many members
were worried about lheJmpact
the strike would have on stu·
dents and student groups.
They felt that the ad.minis•
tration had been acting as
quickly as could be reasonably
asked fo,; and thnt it was act­
ing in good faith. They fcl.t that
a strike at this p,oint wouldn't
improve the situation; it would
harm students and wouldn't
provide any goal the adminis­
tration could reach in order to
avert it. Thus, U would only
serve to block progress.
Council advisor Evan Will•
iams said that a protest or strike
to warn prospective students Hobbs said the administra­
tion could interpret Its actions
so far as meeting the goals of
their letter, and that the letter
gave the council a way out of
the strike if they wanted it.
Uritz was encouraged by a
council suggestion of beginning
negotiations without the faculty
committee member. Hobbs said
that no one could question his
credentials as a pissed-off stu­
dent, but that he felt the best
idea was lo suspend the strike,
with the option of reinstating it
if negotiations faltered.
Several visiting students
prodded the council on possi­
bly backing down from Its
stated goals. The manager of the
Plattform attended, and said
the Plattform and the Rusty
Nail had planned on shutting
down i( the strike we.nt for­
ward. He was pleased if the
strike was being called off on The council discussed pos­
sible strike cutoff dates, and
dates when the constitution
could be ratified by lhe Board.

halfway strikes and demonstra·

In the end, four members

over the objections of Rodda.
and Brandon Zakahi that there
hadn't been enough progress to
justify calling it off.

Thc,,e an, crucial issues that should in•
volve everyone. BY Jo, G•osSMAH 0 y the time this year's freshman
students are ready to graduate,
they just may be living on C3ll\·
pus in brand new upperclas.~ •resident
houses." 11\lll is, if tentatively planned
campus improvemen1s stay on the
course currently planned by Lewis &.
Oark.
After years of complaining about
the scarcity of on-campus juniors andl
seniors, the ofJice of Residence Life has
decided to take decisive action lo en•
courage seasoned Pios to stay in the
residence halls. The plan is to build ai
series of houses, each one with a capac­
ity of 25 to 50 students, designed spe­
clflcally forupperclas.~men. lhe houses
would still be operated by the school
and would be located on campus (in the
space where the Huddleston houses can
currently be found), but would have a
uniquely un-dorm-like atmosphere.
Although no final design has been
determined, some possible ideas have
been put together, based largely on stu•
dents• complaints nnd requests over the
years. The layout presented by the
SERA architecture firm featured two
designs. One would have about 50
single-occupancy rooms, while the
other would hold about 25 re,,idents,
also In single,. Each ~lyle of house
would be three stories tall, with com•
mon lounge, kitchen, dinlng,andstudy
areas. They would also be designed to
flt In wilh the other traditional ,truc­
tures on campus (the nrchllect> cl.urned
that you c,m expect the new structures
to blend better with the rustic clegance
of the manor house thnn the wretched
squalor of Platt),
In addition to the all this, other stu•
dent recommendahons are bcing con­
sidered, such ns tackable walls, suit<'­
style rooms, balconies, bnlhtubs, indi­
,.Jdual thermostat controls, and handi•
cap accessibility. An attempt is also~
Ing made to supply the new houses
with convenient parking spaces with­
out turning the whole area into an as­
phalt slab.
The facilities arc tentatively set to
include a 2; I student to bathroom ratio,
and communal cooking and dining a.r• eas are cucrenlly in the picture. The ar•
chitects also s.iid that they would make
some effort so that as ma.ny rooms as
possible would have a view or some­
thing other than a parking lot.
These plans, while hypothetical, are
still quite Ukely to be representative of
what you will actually see on campus
in a few yeais. The reasoning behind the
new houses Is that juniors and senior..
like the convenience or living on cam­
pus, but not the spartan, generic living
condibons. Many students would not
mind staying on campus if there were
living quarters which afforded them
some deg-rec of dignity and style. These
houses are supposed to present n distinc­
tive alternative to residence halls and
traditional 01£-campus housing. A pri­
mary goal Is to ensure that different
rooms within the same building actually
look different, so that you and your
neighbor's abodes will not look the same
once the posters came down.
All or this is one part or the college's
master plan, which also cncompnsses
the construction that has dominated the
campus for the last year and a half.
Originally, the school ,.,.as considering
building apa.ttment•style housing, and
looked into the feasibility of such a
project. This idea was nix¢ with the
understanding th,1I if students wanted
•apartment-style" housing, they could
find that off campus.

1111portanceof education. "1hinldng has

btlpeverybody access the machinery of

cost of tuition and fees, and the shift in

to slate funds, education for the masses

maltd lhot for his students in the Teacher

SAAB Vice-President Shelby lJdlz
pitied up on that note. "lf it's a mere
IWldlon of dollars, then there's some­
dung wrong with society," she said. She
ifll lhat several issues were not being
iddressed in the proposed cuts; grow-
11\g competition in the work force, the
em-b1cteasing gap between the haves
nl the have-nots, and the role of edu­
Qlion in "teaching (people) how to be
lhallghlful members of society." Edu­
allon is "no1 necessarily a rlght ... it's a
ccnscious choice, ,1nd the commwlity
needs lo support that,H she said, The next speaker was Patrick Clark,
from Representative Ron Wyden's Sen­
ate campaign. •u I were you, I'd be re­
ally pissed off," he said. Oark outlined
the two versions of the cuts proposed.
The House bill eliminates the SSIG grant,
the Perkins Joan, and the Direct Lend­
ing Program, and increases the maxi­
mum Pell Grant by $200. TheSSIGgranl
is matched by the Oregon Need Grant,
which m= that Oregon residents re­
ceiving the grant and illlending LC
would sec those funds disappear. LC is
one of the biggest Oregon recipients ol
SSJG funds. The increase in the Pell
Grant is offset by the fact that 280,000
fewer students will receive the grant due
to more stringent eligibility rules. The
Senate bill reduces the SSTG and Perkins
loans instead of doing away with them
completely, but eliminates the six-month
grace period givon to students after
graduation before they have to pay back
their loans. This could add an additional
S700 to S2.500 to student payments. Sev­
eral other mclusions in the bills are the
withholding of federal fund.s to schools
lhnt pennillobbying for political CillL<CS
on campus, taxing schoo~ bnsed on the
student Joan volume, and would elimi­
nate the Direct Lending Program, which should let your voice be known," he
sald. Education gels a very small piece
of the federal budget, and unless Stu•
dents raise their voices, othct interests
will continue to eat away at education
funding.
The last speaker, Laura Etherton of
OSPIRG, advocated student organiza•
tion againsl the cuts. "'J'hcre are three
ways of organizing ... talking to each
other and working together, working in
coalitions, and taking action,N she said.
Sbe urged students to call !-800-574-
4AID to tell their rcpre5er1tativcs to vote
against cutting ald. "It can be done, but
we've got a long fight.#
During the question and answer ses­
sion, the entire panel emphasized the
importance of contacting House and
Senate members. Clark said, #I've
worked In DC, they look at those num­
bers (of letters, phone calls and emails).~
LC senior Michal Broadbent com­
mented, "This whole issue is just an at­
tack on the poor ... il's not about balanc-
1111g the budget, it's propagating a class
il1l society."

aY CoUHRYOHO Ge se.niors Elise Skelton and
Robert Mcintosh have both
been enthusiasticaUy working
on their respective senior projects for
quite some time now, and by now, they
~1e finally seen aU their diligent work
pay off. Skelton and Mcintosh both have

like to do creative, artistic thing that have
to be functional .. .it's problem solving
and creativity at the same time.• She did
work with theater make-up at her high
school, and Skelton has also done some
acting in the past, but never found it as rounded by percuss.ion instru_ments,
some of a rather unique nature. McIn­
tosh took on the project of composing
an entln-percussion score to accompany
T11e Orrsteia. For his score, he utilizes
such objects as bamboo reeds, a gong.
shells, a conch shell, and a "thunder
sheet" (a thin sheet of metal which, when Being Interviewed together, it is
natural that the:re would be some (comic)
interaction between these two hard­
working, friendly people. Upon being
asked whBI she would like to do after
graduation, Ske.lton replied, •t'd like a
rc.,1 nice sandwich." She later amended
her earlier statement, saying: "It would
be just dreamy to do makeup for the new
Siar Wars, or a Terminator movie, or
Faerie Tale Theater ... • McIntosh, asked
the same question, said, "Grad school
would be nice .. .a sandwich would also
be good." Also, when asked if he had
any inspiration for his muslca.l score,
Mcintosh noted that a study of Greek
music was helpful. Elise jokingly noted
further that the musician Prince had an
influence. Seriously though,Skellonand
Mclntosh both agree that the show looks
excellent. " .. .it'R prol>lem Rolving a11d creativity at

of the 10 segments

togJMetness that marks the oc•
a.<lon, even when most of the
pl.iycrs would rather be else­
wh<!re.
This is certainly true m
0..udra's (Holly Hunter) case.
Sledreadsbeing trapped at her
ckildhood home without the
aid of her younger brother
T1,mmy (Roberl Downey, Jr.), to
lhield her from her parents and
htr younger sister Joanne
(Cynthia Stevenson) and her

Kitt (Claire Danes), who grves

ttlls her she plan.s to lose her
rngmity while Mom's gone.
Needless to say, old ri­
ulrles and long-suppressed

~-ha may JUSI be a partner, or
his ,w,w boyfriend I/ he's the
tormet he may be perfect for
Oaudla who's weary for love, but a.lso weary of letting any­
body get close.
One of the joys of the
film ls wnlching this exquisitely
selected ensemble cast (a.lso in­
cluding Anne Bancroft and
Charles Durning as the parents
and Geraldine ChapUn as a
somewh.~t daffy aunt) tear into
the script by W.D. Richter and
let fly with a mixture of inap­
propriate behavior md barely
restrained (at times) decorum.
The diMcr itself is both
nn artistic high light and the
picture's biggest annoyance.
M.ore so than any other point in
the film, ii Is reminiscent or
what is generally considered
Robert Altman'sstyle: overlap­
ping conversations and vented
emotions of whic.h we are only
able 10 pluck out bits and pieces
(a.lthough ii does quiet down
for Chaplin's bravura
solioquy / confessional of her
long-standing love for her
sister's husband).
I ts realism can not be
denied, but it comes across here
a.~ rather muddled so that in­
stead of concentrating on whal
is discernible, I found mysclf
wondering what I was missing
out on. The aftermath of the
dinner is the most emotional,
resonant part of the film and it
is here tfmt "the point" is finally
mode.
Agam, as to what that
point may truly be, each may
have his opinion. But after
squirming through the picture
and watching the damage that
everyone inflicts on evecyone
else, the quiet, somewhat af­
firming (thought not maudlin)
conclusion felt deserved: We're
stuck with a lot of the people in
our lives and sometimes we
need lo just "float like the an­
gelfish", as Kitt tells Claudia, in order tosut\•lve.1 give the film
three stars.
Continuing his tradition
of serving up at least one new
mm a year, Woody Allen re­
turned to the Mctruplcx last Fri-
r day wrth his latest romic offer•
ing. Migllty Apl1rodilt. It strikes
a weird combination between
the arbstic rnatuTily that Allen
has acheived ,n recent years and
a return to the wacky, unre­
strained goofiness that marked
his llrst decade as a writer and
director.
Once again at the head
of an assembled cast only too
cager 10 be working with him,
AJJen stars as Lenny We,nreib,
a sportswriter who one day re­
luctantly a.I lows his wife to talk
him into adoptiQn. Five years
down the line, the :kid turns out
to be a genius, but the marriage
Is kind of shaky, which is par­
UaUy what inspires Lenny to
track down the birth mother.
He thinks she has to be a genius
as well. Surprise! She turns out
to be I.Inda Ash: part-lime
hooker and porno $tar (stage
mime-Judy Cum) whose inno­
cently sweet heart of gold is
matched only by a voice that
comes straight out of Looney

l!ver h.ave one or those days?
Here we are in New York, just mind­
ing our own business, when from out of
nowhere we get some disturbing phone
calls. It seems that Lewis & Oark is re­
quiring all New York trip members to
carry Lewis & Cmrk'smedical insurance
plan. That's a bill for $200, even If we
have a medical waiver on filestatmg that
we have our own priv;ite insurance, like
many students at LC. And if we don't
pay up, we've been threatened with nil
sorts of things• like having our course
credit for the tnp withheld, or not hav­
ing our registration for next semester
processed.
So now the qucstons begin. In the
first place, exactly why ore we requ[red
to carry LC insurancejusl because we're
in New York? Health insurance is health
insurance, and the fad that we have a
wruver on file means we're covered.
More to the point, what good would LC
health insurance do us now? The trip is
65 percent over; by the time everythmg
got processed, 11 would just be time for
us to come home.
Calls to the Overseas and Cashiers'
offices have revealed very little inform,~­
tion; all we've been told Is that "it's the
school pollcyH to require New York trip participants to carry LC insurance. l ~

downtown Washington was deierted.
The Lewis & Oark group had leh the
Henlllge foundation, and were al the
Capitol not listening to a lecture about e r t y ,
while the righl!. the first amendment
guarantees were excen:Lo;ed outside. I
can only imagine what those former
communist genernls were thinking and
fee.hng when they looked out across the
Mall Throughout the tour, our group,
like the genllr.lls would run to l)vcry
window overlooking the mall, and stare
out at the masses gathered outside. To
look out the window and see so many
people was unlike anything we had ever
seen. After we were released from our
cl~, some of the group walked outside
and wandered through the crowd.
We wandered around In a tight
line through the peaceful crowd feeling
out of pince. There was no hostility al
our presence, but we were very con•

issue. one issue of concern
must be uddressed al a time to aclueve the most p=

the Cashier's Office is a source of much frustration for
students On the LC campus,
~ others th~l have attac!((.>d SAC have cheapened what

,y the worst of bmes. They pushed ASLC while ASLC
n wilS trying to negotiate with the ad.ministration. They
•, ,also weakened the SA G's position by not having a dear
1genda. They further weakened ihcir position by m­
,r foning that the members of ASLC were just a bunch of
1 mmy pmnksters wasting student funds.
't The problems delve even deeper than this fl is J
~-fund.mental lack of communication between ASLC

One cause of conce.m to me was how the SAC meet·

Communicate. Grow up. If everyone within the two
groups follows those two gu.idelines it may work. We
will all be much better off if jl dOt!s. Long lines and misinformation about student bal•
ances and fees were two key problems. The students
attending fell that some possible solutions would in·
volve Cashier's and Financial Aid offices opening ear•
Iler for students lo sign loans (maybe before the school
session begins, or possibly early for the New Student

the dlliiculty of findlng a Work Study job, and how

Swim Team got off to
a great start last Fri­
do y and Saturday.
After enduring n month of hard
training, swimmers met up
against Whitman College on
Nov. 3rd :ind Whitworth Col­
lege on Nov. 4th at lhe
Zehntbauer Swim Pavllllon.
On Friday, the action began
when the women's team took a
big step toward the National
meet by qualifying the 400
Medley Relay (Sarah Schmidt,
Jennifer MacCollum, Merry
Warner, Kari Borgen) with
4:34.38 and the 400 Freestyle
Relay (Schmidt. Sarah Brinton,
Borgen, Mary Beth Christo­
pher) with 4:02.97. The swim­
mer of the meet for the men was
Bjorn Larson. He received this
honor for having excellent
swims even though he had been
out of practice due to an illness.
The swimmer of the meet for
the women was Merry Warner.
She competed in her first ever
200Fly.
On Saturday, LC teamed up
against Whihvorth College and
gave a gn,at showing. Again
the Pio women beat another
national qualifying time while
finishing half a length nhead of
Whitworth in the 200 Medley
Relay (Sc:hmidt, MacCollum,
Warner, Borgen) with 2:03.4.

MacCollum, Warner) with
1:50.58. This come from behind
rel.ay ended up shattering the
national Q time by an amazing
13 seconds while narrowly
beating out Whihvorth.
The men's 200 Free Relay
(Warren Pereira, Monte Mills,
Brian Young, Bjorn Larson)
with a time of 1:37.66 also took
a first place.
The swimmer of the meet
for the men was Warren Pereira.
He made LC's all time #top
five" list in the 100 Back. His time was one-ha1J of a second
off the ruitionaJ qualifying time
in that event. The swimmer of
the meet for the women was
Karl Bo:rgen. She was an ex­
tremely important leg of hvo
national qualifying relay teams.
Coach Don King expressed
his enthusiasm for the rest of
the season. ~1 am very pleased
with oux early success, but es­
pecially the great attitudes dis­
played by the team members.
This entire team is capable of
great things!"
So fat, the women's team has guaranteed themselves a
spot at Nationals in San Anto­
nio, TX. They only have the 800
Free Relay left to qualify.
They're hoping to do it this
weekend in the meets against
Evergreen State College and
Pacific Lutheran University.
Top finishers of the meet
were: Bjorn Larson in the 100
Free (52.19), Warren Pereira in
the 100 &,ck (57.00), Jennifer
MacColJum in the 50 Free
(27.37) and 100 Breast (1:15.49),
and Sarah Schmidt tn the 100

of a Squaw lhatextended about
six tt!l!n mchei from nose to tail.
The 11\rge group of spectators let out a root of approval as we
were bombarded by a storm of
c.-amera flashes. Their chants or
"yay! yayl Hold it up! Hold It
up!" let us know that they had
absolutely no due that we were
catching Squaw-fish, and from
their distance thtl mighty Squaw
might well have appean.>d to be
a beautiful Rainbow Trout. Buck
told me to throw it up as he
reared back wl.th his mighty oar.
When he connected he sent the
fish flying in a direct pall) to,
wards one of the guide boats
falling just short of the deck and
landing with a cannonball-like
splash. The spectators were ob­
viously confused and scarred as
they thought we had destroyed
a trout for no apparent reason.
One elderly lady In particular
clutched her chest m disbelief
causing us to explode with
laughter. The engines of the
guide boats all roared to lile s1•
multaneousty and afewseronds
later they disappean:d from our
sights.
Bud, and I still reminisce
about they old days and seldom
dowenot talk about ourSqww­
fish adventure over a mug of
frosty malt liquor. The look on
that lady's lace stlU brings a
cheap laugh and a good time to
our hearts. Novem FRldav
