Holiday Gala
The 23rd annual Lewis & Clark Holiday
Gala will be held this Saturday, Dec. 2,
from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. Students, staff,
!a..-ulty, alunuu, and friends o! the col•
lege are invited to attend a variety of
events held al different locations around
the campus. Most events are free and
do not requii-e a ticket.
The festivities begin with a trodJtionaJ
open house in the Manor House from 7•
8 p.m. Sample cider and rookies ,vhile
enjoying the Manor House decorated for
the holiday~.
From 8-9 p.m .. listen to a service of sa•

more than SO voices and is led by Bill
Hanlit\, ·n, and Gil Seeley, the

l'rizc winner Aung San Suu Kyi made
what may prove to be an historic an•
nouncemenL Only just release-d from
nearly six yea.rs of house arrest, the
leader of the Burmese National l.cague
for Democracy (NLD) hinted at the be­
ginnings of a non-cooperation campaign
directed, at the authoritarian Burmese
regime.
Currently in power, the Stale Law
and Order Restoration Council (SLORC)
has a history of oppressing the citizeruy.
Upon losing the 1990 elections to the
NLD in a landslide where Suu J<yi's
party gathered 80% ot the vote, the
SLORC not only n!fused to cede-power,
but Imprisoned many promment NLD
leaders. ln the brutal crackdown that
followed, ill least 30,000 people were
ktlled.
The events or November 29th may
tum out to be the most significant yet
since Suu_ Kyi's n!lease. Th.e SLORC, in
what IS regru,:lcd by most human righlb
organi:r.ations as a sham, has organized
a national convention, suppo:;edly to
draft a new constitution. The trouble
with lhls national convention is that ii
comes without any al tempts ot dialogue
with Burma's premiere opposition party,
thcNLD. DespltetheurgingsofSuuKyi
and other NLO delegates, such. a sum·
mil has never taken place. This gives the
national convention all the legitim.1cy o!
the rubber-stamp congress the SLORC
probably intends it to be. Given this situ­
ation, 011 November 29th, the NLO be·
gan its boycott o! the proceedings.
This is not to say that the onJy prob­
lem with the national convention is the
lack of dialogue between the SLORC and
the NLD. The SLORC has a tendency
to fgnore popular opinion: that's why it
is ignoring the ten ollitr groups who are
joining the NLD in its boycott.
SadJy, these nren't the worst human
rights violations the SLORC lnas per•
pctuated. Thousands of political pris­
oners are kepi in torturous conditions,
s:ic. An interpreter will sign for the
deaf and hard-of-hearing. 1r.i11r.i11r.i

routinely rounded up for use as unpaid
government workers, sometimes even as
"human minesweepers"; people who
walk through minefields so they, instead
of the soldiers who follow behind them,
will trigger the explosives and be killed.
That's why the Nov"11iber 29th dec­
lnratlon by Suu Kyi to boycott the na•
tional convention may be the watershed
moment in the struggle for human rights
In 8urma. Suu l<yi stresses that the aim
of the boycott isn't to thwart the new
constitution, but lo focus the world's
eyes on the forthcoming inmjustice that
such a constitution will no doubt be. The

'ILC update
BY MAnHIAS FBll'I'
The ASLC executive coun­
cil grappled with the structure
or student government and or­
ganizations In several ways
during their last two meetings.
Student 6overeignty. Ne­
gotiations between the ASLC
and administration on student
sovereignty produced major
questions about how student
government should be struc­
tured and how the ASLC can
make sure student's vo.ices are
heard when major campus de­
cisions are made.
The council agreed that
moving the ASLC's rules into
bylaws could be a much more
clf,oent arrangement, but some
members were worried about
how switching from a constitu­
tion to bylaws would be seen by
stu.dents. Some attention was
also given lo the question of
how major decisions could con­
tinue to requlre student ratill­
cation, while leaving the execu­
tive council free to make admin­
istrative changes. Chief Justice
and negotiating committee
member Nathan Hobbs said
that this could be handled by
putting all matters that required
student approval into the by­
laws and leaving smaller mai­
lers to be handled os part of the
council's lntemal procedures.
Evan Williams said that the
negotiating c:ommittee would
delcrmine how to divide slu•
denl government between the
college's constitution, bylaws,
and ASLC's internal procedures
in order to produce an clflcicnt,
responsive system. He said the
committee could produce a so­
lution by New Year's. ASLC
president Cory Curtis said that
would give the council time to
work on JI and gel student ap­
proval before ii was presented
to the college's Bo.ml of Trust·
1.'CS for ratification in February. There were a variety of
projects in biology, chemistry,
and physics. Some or the post­
ers ca.n be found in the base-ers who worked together on the
same project. The speakers
were chosen by me on the basis
of whether th.cir research would
"We were represented by two student
speakers who worked together on the
same project."
-Professor Paulette Bierzychudek
mcnts of Olin and Bodine.
The conference was orga­
nized by The Murdock Founda­
tion in order for students
funded by Murdock grants to
present the results or their
work. The Murdock program
funds most of the studen1-fac­
ulty research that takes place on
campus. It pays the students a
stipend for thclrsummer work.
"In our case, we were rep­
resented by hvo student speak-be interesting and accessible lo
a general audience, whether the
talks would !be well-organized
and well-deltvered, and we also
chose people who had not had
a chance to 1,peak in previous
conferences,b explained Profes­
sor Pauletle Bierzychudek.
Al the conference. featured
student Andrea Wllllams and
Beth Leger spoke about their
collaborative research with Pro­
fessor Blerzychudek. Their summer co.nslsled of research
on the preservation of habitat
along the Oregon coast for th.e
threatened Oregon silverspot

Leger commented,
"Whether we are counting vio­
let leaves or giv.mg presenta­
tions, we seem to produce
good results. And, of course,

Bruce Nelli, and Jim Duncan.
Negotiations move ahead
The student sovereignty
negotiations also raised ques­
tions about how the ASLC can
be actively involved when the
coUege makes decisions affect•
ing students. Hobbs said he had
asked Williams and Dean of
Students Michael Ford why the
ASLC should have to go on
strike in order to get the
administration's attention. He
told them he wanted the ASLC
to have the option of reviewing
major decisions that affect stu­
dents before they're passed.
Hobbs rereived little sup­
port when he made this point,
so he came up with a new idea.
There are abou I 75 decis1.on­
making committees on campus,
and many ol them include stu­
dent representatives.. However,
Hobbs said, the students on
these committees often just
rubbetstamp decisions, leaving
the ASLC uninvolved until af­
ter the decisions are made. He
wanted to take a proactive,
rather than reactive approach,
requiring student representa•
tives to give weekly reports to
the ASLC of what the commit­
tees were discussing. "We need
to have a chance to make a big
honkin' stink about something
be.fore it happens."
Committee Coordinator
Tracy Rodda responded that it
was e><tremely difficult to find
students who cared enough to
sit on these commlttccs, and a
new reporting requirement
could make ii nearly impos­
sible. "They don't want lo be
doing stuff that we (council
members) think IS really coot."
This drew the ire of Vice
President Shelby Uritz. "We
bust our butts, and now we're
talking about a lack of represen•
tation because students won't
sit on commillees. We can't rep­

'these political kids in the sand• box are strllc.ing again.' ... Do

sented?"
Rodda stood by her state­
ment that the extra work would
make it unpossible to find stu­
dents to sit on committees, and
proposed ins.lead to start asking
the committee chairs for copies
of their meeting agendas. The
council eventually settled on
this as a good place to start.
OSPtRG's fit with ASLC.
Last year, the ASLC council.saw
several problems with LC's
OSPtRG chapter, based on its
unique struoture and some per-­
sonality conflicts. Statewide
rules for OSPJRG require the
chapter to send $7.50 per cam­
pus student each year 10 the
state organization, which lhen
sends back a larger sum to fund
the local chapter, part or which
Is used to hire a staff member.
This means that the OSPlRG
chapter can't exist un.less it re­
ceives over $6000 in student
funds per semester. New
groups chartered under ASLC
normally rec-eive only $300
per year, so some council
member's felt they were
being strong-armed by
having to provide such a
high minimum amount.
OSPCRG is also the only
campus organi,.alion that
sends Its funds off campus,
and the only one with a
paid non-student staff
member, which is contrary
to ASLC's normal policy.
Last year, the ASLC
council created a commJI•
tee to recommend policy
changes to handle
OSPIRG's unique situa­
llon. The i.:ommitlC?C was
unclear on whal kind of so­
lution was wantL-d, and the
proposal lhey brought
back ran into major ob­
stacles.
The problem was re• turned to the committee for fur­
ther work, with a requirement
that they produce a new plan by
the end of next semester. The
final plan may change OSPIRG
from being a normal! y char­
tered. student group into being
a separate line item on the
ASLC budget, with annual or
biannual reaffirmation by a
campusswide vole.
OSPIRG's funding for the
spring semester has already
been allocated, and will not be
affected.
ISLC Referendum. Discus­
sions in the subcommittee
drafting the reierem!:,im on vot­
ing for the ISLC council repre­
sentative broke down because
Pavel Kroumka1chev, one of the
JSLC members of the commit­
tee, has stopped responding to
phone calls and e-mail from thi,
other members. The council
decided lo use the wording pro­
duced by the other three com­
mittee members, without wait­
ing for his ap proval.

odd Uttlc-Siebold was visibly
eager to begin his "l.ast Lec­
ture. • Seated on the edge of a comfort•
ilechalr in Odell's lounge, he gathered
,n,denl~ dose nround him. Filled with
am·ous energy, wearing n bright red top
.nl blue jeans, he reminded me of one
,cmy bright<'r and more outgoing p~>ers
,bowing off his music collection. He
'1.ultd by playing a British folk song
ailed "Which Side are You On,• fol­
lowed by "Fight the Power,• by Public

Candhl on the strength of nonviolence,
Pl Yeats: "Llve simply that others may

Clll\ttasting themes of violenl slrugglc
ind nonviolent withdrawal.
'I love to lecture, but it's not what
td wMt to do if the end of the world
,ere upon us," Uttlc-Sicbold said. How•
rl«, since the world wasn't ending, he
pmcly went on to explain how a IUe­
'mg search for righteousness had led =n 10 his current place m life, and to
,lier• prescription for his audience.
His narrative began with his life as a
IX)IIY1ole.nt activist, "I was formed by the
'l!ldent a<"bvism of the Reagan Years.·
fighhngforcauses and going to j.i,I was
lineuntil he started to think. One day he
""11i7.ed that he felt hatred toward the

the Me they were trying to replace. He
realized lhat judging his adversaries
made him (eelbelter,buldidn't make lhe
world a better place. Ench person had
their own palh lo follow and something
unique to offer the world. "Judg,.-not that
ye may not be judged."
He started to recognize the contra­
d ic'tions in everyone, and questioned the
wisdom of holding people to principles
he didn't meet himself. In Guatemala, -
whert' he'd once seen only tyranny, he
now saw nuances of life and color. "Black

He started looking for long-term
ways to change lhe world, and became
an educator. For him, teaching Is nn act

about lhe world,and the life of the mind.

needs more people who can debate com­

must come up with their own opinion,
because we live in a democratic society.
In his lifo in Oregon, he tries to find
balance. Instead of complaining, he tries
to !ind ways to solve problem$. He helps
with a group that brings middle
schoolers and adults from variou:. fa,:,.

balances some things he's not proud of,
like using electricity, paper and C'ilJ'S, or

th, 8 c.spite thi, Disney !all­
ures (my opinion. al­
bci t not in the box of­
fice) of Tllr Uo11 King
,1nd PClCtll1011la,, I was not at all
apprehensive about their new
feature Toy Story. This movie, I
read, did not have a bland
soundtrack by the once-brilhant
Alan Menken. nor did it rem­
forct? a bigotry-ridden legend.
A plot? Wcll, If that computer
animation is as good as the pre­
views make ii look, I won't have
to care about any plot. These
were lhe thoughts that ran
through my mind as l entered
my home town's theater over
Thanksgiving vacation to
(hopclully) enjoy a pleasant
animated Click.
Soon alter U,e movie began,
I knew that despite the fact I
thought this movie looked
ffgoo<V I had underestimated
it. T"Y Story is the best Disney
film slnce 8ea11/y 1t11d Ille Bt'IISI,
and it deserves much praise. These toys have the power
to come alive, with the reali7.a•
Uon that they ilt'C toys, .md in­
teract m their own Jlttli, world.
Woody, being Andy'$ favorite,
IS the leader of the toys, and the
others respect and follow him,
However, Woody's leadership
plus his traditional place as
Andy's favorite is threatened by
Buzz l.ighlyear (Home
Improvement's Tam Allen), an
spaceman action figure. And if
that wasn't bnd enough: Buzz
doesn't understand that he is a
toy. He is constantly rattling off
ridiculous mumbo-jumbo
nboul his mission as a #space
r:anger, which irritates Woody.
A deep-seeded rivalry develops
between the two toys, to the
polnt that they'll ready to light
each other (yes, n fist fight in a.
Disney movie). Through sev-Disney movies often find
themselves striving 10 accom·
plish the foTilllidible task of
combining both drama and
comedy in their animated fea­
tures. Tcty Story is able to do
that,as w<>'re provided with an
runplesupply or comic relief by
lhe supporting cruuacters,
while Buzz and Woody are oc­
cupk'<i with tackling the seri­
ous ;ispects of the plot. The
hu=n emotions of jealously,
loncllness, ha,rsh realizations,
and anger .ire al I clfoctlvely
covered. Nol to say that the
writers didn't give the two
leads many comedy moments
themselves; it would be a wast.e
of Allen's and Hanks' talents if
they didn't. Simply heanng the
Tom Hanks' voice in an ani­
mated cowboy is delightful.
The animation in Toy Story
is nothing less than brilliant. It
is the first feature•lengthed
computer,animated movie, af.
ter experimentation relating
back to 11,e Little Men11nid. The
details and textures are runaz­
ing; even the door to Andy's room has fingerprint staitls on
them, and reOections of the
characters can be seen in Buzz's
clear plastic helmet. Often l
found myself doing a double.
take with some scenes, first
thinking that the animated
characters had been overlaycd
upon a re.al-life shot. The

ger (Sharon Stone), a hooker/ con artist

(James Woods) that raised hl!r and the
drugs she needs-prove to be two too
many. Before long. Ace's world is un­
done by this pair and the glitter lifestyle
the trio Inhabit is quickly crushed.
The first third and the final half hour
of Csisirro are Scorsese at his best intro-way, that was the mostintrigulng lesson
the movie offered-if you're a "made

Nicky, then you're allowed nbsolute free­

Unfortunately, the film is longer
than that and soon becomes an endless
series of scenes where two of the three
leads are angry and get into a shouting/
screeching match with one another. Additionally, Scon;ese seems to be try·
ing to ou tprofune Tarantino, and though
I have no problem lf profruuties are used
for effect (or turned into art like David
Mamet), here, nearly everything out of
Pesci's mouth is that or a racial epithet,
and pretty soon it becomes tiresome and
not a little offensive.
While Pescl's pe.rfonnance ,s
(amilnr, the real surprises are DeNiro
and Stone. The subtlebes of DeNiro's
acting tru1y get lo~1 in all the sound and
fury onscrcen, but with time to think ii

only one who truly understands how

Csisi110 is certainly not a misstep for
Scorsese, as always he finds new and
electrifying ways of shooting scenes,
making transillOns, and filling the screen
with the hum of activity. This time, how­
<'Ver, he spends so much time on little
nuances that the big pkture is ultimntely

cember 1st! OCA presents the return of Measure 13 1
I
BY RllllCCA 5tUlllT
They're back. Yes, the infamous
Oregon Oti7,ensAUian~ (OCA) is back
with yet another anti-gay rights initia­
tive and ii appears as if they will just
never give up. Since 1992's Measure 9,
the OCA has been allempLi:ng to tum
Oregon into a stale where discrimin.1-
tion, as well as the legislation of others"
behavior, is legal.
Beginning in 1992, lhe OCA at­
tempted tt> pass Measure 9, which was
to be the beginning of a
long line of anti-gay have also prevented governments fronn
barring dtSCrirnlnatlon against homo­
sexual~. This measure also fulled, bul
lhe defeat was narrower than lhat of
Measure 9.
Now, the OCA is back with a new
measure, n1claiamed the Daughter ol 13"
by OCA director, Lon Mabon. This me.a•
sure will also severely limit what the
government can do or say about homo­
scxwillty. The "Daughter of 13" has the
same agenda as the previous two OC.A
measures, but Is mo,e
vague as to what will ac­
proposals. Measure 9
staled, among other
lhings, that the Consti­
tution of the State of Or­
egon would be
amended and the new
section would state that
the government, includ­
ing public schools, must
recognize homosexual­
ity as "abnormal,
wrong, unnaturnl, and
peNerse and to be dis­
couraged and avoided."
If Measure 9 had
passed, the state could Now the OCA
is back with a tuaUy happen if it passes.

recently to watch a deba.te
between Charles Hinkle
of the ACLU, and Scott
Lively, or the OCA, which
took place at the North­
western Sc.hool on.aw of
Lewis and Clark. There,
I received a firsthand look
al the OCA's propaganda.
The main ideas expressed
by Lively, the director or
lhe United StatcsCillzens
Alliance, were those of re-new mea.cntre

about

not legally S"nrnntee gays and lesbinns
such basic civil rights as employment
and housing, and no one would have
access to unbiased information about ho­
mosexuality in public universities and
libraries.
This measure foiled, but the OCA
came bacldn 1994 with lvleasure 13. This
measure, disguised as "The Minority
Status and Child Protection Act" would ligious values, the protec­
tion of children, and parents' rights. Not
once did he actually tell us what would
happen ii this measure (a measure deal­
ing with homosexuality -not children
nnd not parents' rights) passes.

KYU J. HUNJIKO To THE Eom>,c,
Okay. l know columnists get free
reign. l know that the idea of a column
is to let some talented writer showcase
tiheir insights and abilities. And I even
fmd myse!J chuckling at "Life and Other
Inside Jokes" occasionally, remembering
what it was like to be a fu:st-yearstudenl.
But really. A whole column by 17 inches
devoted to the Beatles?
In the first place, the column wasn't
even well-argued. Everything Colin lists
as the Beatles' greatest territories-deep
soul-searching lyrics, powerful ballads,
and a wide range of emotion -could
be said just as easily of Bon Jovi or
Depeche Mode. And as Colin himseU
points out, the Beatles aren't really a part
of our generation.
So why does he find it so important
to celebrate the so-called return of the
Beatles? As o.ne of the more leftist-bent
papers here in New Yo.rk pointed out,
•Get a grip. The boys never left." The
Beatles' albums, for whatever reason,
have been selling and selling and sell·
l:ng, even to a generation Car too young
io remember Beatlemania -or, indeed,
to have been around for it.
The reason for this is the same as the
reason our country ls suddenly getting
excited about three past-their-prime
rockers pulling a Natalie Cole and re.re-cording thclrdead forerunner's old mu­
sic: hype! From the beginning, the so­
called Beatlemania among the X genera­
tion has been nothing more than a con­
test among the promoters lo see who
could sell the most nostalgia to a gen­
eration so afraid of forming their own
heroes they have to borrow everything
from their parents. The two new songs
are simply the crowning glory of !head­
men's power -and let's face it, they
aren't even that good, even if your only
standard of comparison is other Beatles
music.
1 wo,nder if Colin knows the Impe­
tus behind this latest comeback attempt:
that one of the boys (Paul or George, I'm
not sure which) ls broke. He could just
file for Chapter U like everyone else,
right? Wrong. Suddenly his promoters
open the floodgates for a media blitz to
make the Beatles earn even more money.
Consider that as you stand in line to by
the new book and the new boxed set:
you're falling prey to a giant plan to sub­
sidize someone who couldn't handle
money in the first place.
What's my point? Hell, Colin's en­
titled to his opinion. But it just makes
me sad to see another of our generation
taken in under the promoters' po,.,ers.
