0 er MAm11As Ftt,,.,.
ill Curtin, director of Campus
Safety, attended the ASLC
coundl's January 16 meeting to
ask for endorsement of a proposal to ex­
tend "Limited Law Enforcement" au­
thority lo CS officers. He ls preparing a
proposa.l for Lewis & Clark's Executive
Board, whereby the Multnomah County
Sheriff's Department ,vould deputize
Campus Safety officers, giving them lim­
ited official authority.
As law enforcement oflic1als, CS of•
ficcrs could write tickets to send offend­
ers into the outside co~rt
system. They could also
detain people on the ba-testimony would help in solving on­
campus crimes; the system would im•
prove the coUege's liability situation; and
it would make CS more accountable. He
said many other schools already have
pohce authority.
Council member Andrea Williams
was bothered by the fact that the plan
included no guarantee that cases would
go to PRB and Campus Life before be­
ing sent off campus. Curtin responded
that the policy would be lo send cases
through the on-campus system. He said
that the local law enforcement doesn't negative responses to the proposal.
Tracy Rodda proposed a campaign
to lel sh.ldents know what the proposal
was about. She said she had received
unusual e-mail from some students:
"Somehow this crazy-BS$ rumor got out
that ASLC has give_n Campus Safety ap•
proval to carry guns .... People are kind
of freaking out .... We need some kind
of information dissemination so people
don't think SUSle's going to be carrying
an AK-47 next week."
Council members then dlseussed
their concerns with the proposal. Nathan >he and her peers fell like 1he new.

crimes that now occur on campw ~
would ) ust allow more punishmclll.
haven't been convinced that lhu
help change things and make thtsi
ter place."
Council members then d i,cu::
problems with CS as ltcurrentlys
Sua Strafford said that the peoplt
talked to were concerned because
didn't really know who the CS offi:
were. Several members talked aboil
need for more outreach to prevent

keep track of lho!U
longings. Hobbs
sis of third party tesli- "
mony about a crime. As
private security officers
they can currently only
make dll:r.en's arrei;t,, U We need some kind of infonnation dissemination Ro people don't
think Susie's going to be carrying an AK-47 next week."
-Tracy Rodda that "at least
people have .said
officers have ,
tas against them
sonally. • He said
iled Law Enfo
could make rel they directly witness a
crime. If they don't wit-
ness a cnme they ca.n't even detain sus·
pects unlll the police arl'!ve.
Curtin s.,.1d thnl CS would still work
under the guide.lines of the college, nnd
"I'm sure weapons would not be part of
that." He said a major advantage ol the
new authority would be that CS could
use the criminal justice system as a
backup ii students disregardedsnnclions
le,,led by the existing on-campus sys­
tems. He said this would bring more
credibility to the 111didal system, and that
for people who blow off the Peer Review
Board or treat the college or their RA
with disrespect, it would do a lot of good
to see a iudge. He Si'Ud this would bring
in real world consequences for people's
behavior.
Curtin also described other benefits
of the authority: The use of third party

possession of drugs or alcohol, and that
he didn't want lo write such tickets.
However, he said, "You can't tell
someone with law enfon:ement author•
ity to ignore breaches of the law,,. He said
that the State of Oregon wouldn't allow
limits on when law enforcement author•
lty could be used. He said he couldn't
guarantee that if an officer walked into
a residence haU at 3 am, and the situa­
tion was craz.y, that the officer wouldn't
write a ticket right then. And he said he
didn't wnnt the authority i! it could be

According to Judy McNally of Pub­

for des,gnmg the site.
She explained thal there are many
holes in eJ<pertise on the campus, and
th~ ls not enough experience in this
n,M medium. The school staff has not
had a chance to lrain themselves in tech­
nical design pertaining to the Web. "We
want our Web site to look as good as the
level of the school,• said McNaUy.
Todd Pierce, a Graphics Design pro­
fessor at LC said he agreed that we
needed to tum to a professional firm, but
he would have liked to have been tn·
duded in the production. He is, how­
ever, impressed with the desi_gn, and he covery.
"We
would like to give the look an intema•
tional flair.-said Kelly Wainwright, from
Information Technologies.
Several audiences targeted wlth the
new des,gn include prospectjve slu•
dents, alumni, current students, faculty,
and stnff. Prospectives can fmd out all
there is to know about the school .nnd
the departments, as weU as lhe applica­

Geoff Arnold was killed in an auto­

Palo Alto dunng the winter break.
Friends from arow,d campus told of
hL,; openness and how he was always
there for everyone. Many also told of
Geoff's love of philsophising and his
different theories about life. Geoff loved
the outdoors and wa~ an avid

and hiking, an mteresl shared with his
father. Ray Arnold. He was also very
involved with music. "He lived music, he was music,· was a common theme

cl, musical dilemma or sorts. or these new British imports,
,hieh one ls the true carrier o( the torch dropped by the
Beatles? Oasis in all theirsnotty
bravado would certainly like to
claim the crown. Sure they look
llke the B;,aties, and they can
piny songs that sound Uke the
Beatles. But, and this is key,
they lack the real sense of
melody and musical joy that the
"Blur are

with the FJame

Ireland,"
Beatles possessed.
The members of Blur don'!
IQOk much l1ke the Beatles, they
sound on some songs a Utile like
the Beatles. but in general, they are about as close lo the Bealles
ru; any pop bands. However,
the Beatles and Blur have
something greater in common,
'a love 0£ all sorts of music and
the ability to transfuse musi·
cal history Into ~heir own
unique musical vision, from
th<> punk and new wave bands
of their youths and even far­
ther back lo the symphonic
sounds of Burt Bacharach and
Johnny Mathis that probably
graced their parents tum·
tables.
Blur are artists who paint
musical sketches of everyday
life in England with the srune
aplomb as Joyce did tor Ire­
land. I! you rue planning on
spending an)' time in llngland,
the. album and the c>ne before
ii, Parldlfr, are must-buys.

What is most fascinating
about the film is its suggestion
that neither of the sisters enjoys
what she does. For them both,
music is not a catharsis, but a
way 10 hang onto pain, to rel•
ish in ii, and to be consumed by
ii. The only difference is th.,t
Sadie is the one who is con•
stanUy self-destructing from the
act, As Sadie, Leigh rides the
thin line between sadness and
parody and it is haunting how
at times, you can see right
through her eyes and realize
how much of a pul•on she
knows it all is. As Georgia.
Winningham is denied the
nashiness of angst, but from the
opening moments when Sadie
returns home, nnd we see how
uneasy Georgia is around her,
Gagging

,reys the suggestion that it's not
embarrassament that Georgia
feels, but a recognition of her
own feelings.
Delivering neither pay­
offs, resolution, nor reassur•
ance, Crorg,o ,s ulimately a
tough haul, and bul for the per·
formnnces of its two lead ac­
tresses, II might be unbearable.
Its uniqueness is something to
treasure, however, nnd if you do
see it, pay special attention to
Sadje's last line iltld consider
how a person must feel about
herself to do whnt she does
night after night and still say
something like thaL It's unhap­
piness after one's own fashion,
to be sure. Three stars.

eccnLly, the phrase "Do
, you believe in magk"
11.1, come to mean more
than a song title for the
1111'1 basketball team on Hs
..mies to Willamette Un1ver­
. ,n S:llem, Just last year, as
may recaU, LC found it­
I down by a point to
l.!hmette with just ten seconds
~y 1J1 the critical league con•
Point-guard Perry Lam
mptly took the ball the length
l:br floor, weaved in and out
the Bearcat defense, and
lll4(da "Michael Jordanesque"
ia wanning basket, much to
!lrdd1ght of the upbeat crowd.
:t:1 past Saturday, fans in the
ads still had last year's game
Jiultod in the back of their
lt1d1, and LC didn't di;iap•
,-ct Thi? Pioneers scrappt.'Ci
tpther a 95-92 overtime win
1t the host Bearcats, sending
ll!<ltf message that LC ,,ill be
l«i •gain with ,ts upbeat
t:,lln' basketball tactics in
lllllt play.
Although the Pios puUed
1111 ih<, victory, 11 was WU that
,a, U\ control for much of the
I"" Led by Julius Lowe and
)II \loo~, the Bcarcats seemed
bt unstoppable ai certi\in
pillllll lJI the first hall. Couple
with several LC players
piulg up early fouls, and it
1.1) ll!Und like a long night for
!.( But LC stuck with the
ltt1t.1ts, almost like a pest that
.,,.ldn'I le,we. Sophomore
Ctd Schreck and senior Bran-don Nicholson kept the offense
rolling, driving or dishing 10
sophs Whitney Brake or Jeff
Flowers. This combo ,eemed to
work well as the Pioneers found
themselves trailing by only 1 al
halftime, 41-40 .
The second half started off
cold for LC, and the Bearcats
capitnli7.ro, stretching their lead
to as much as seven polnt:smid•
way through the second half.
Just when the momentum
looked as if ii might switch, LC
h1med up the intensity. Slowly
but surely, LC used it> inside
game of Plowers and junior
Aaron MosZA?r to tnm the lead
to hve with 5:20 lo go in the
gnme.
The Pioneers' intensity was
given a shot in the arm when LC
student Kerry Kemper cha!•
lenged Barney U1e Bearcal, th.e
WU mascot, to duke lt out at
center court. Little did the
crowd know that when Kemper
wrestled Barney to the ground,
this would be a sign of things to
come for WU 011 the basketball
court.
The big story of the final
minutes was Wt!Jamette's free
throw shooting. The Pioneers
committed a season-high 31
fouls in the contest, and sent the
Bearcat:s to the line a record 43
time5. The Bearcat:s led the Pios
right back into the contest, miss­
ing nine critical free throws
down the stretch. Could this be
deJa vu? With eight seconds re­
maining, sophomore Brooks
Meek showed off hls shooting touch, connecting on a clutch
trey to tie things up. WUJrunette
inbounded the ne.oct pass and
was whistled for traveling with
just a few precious ticks of the
clock left. Lam again took the
ball and drove the tength of the
court while the crowd held its
breath. The ball rolled off the
rim, and the Pios would have to
settle for overtime, their thJrd
straight.
The extra period,
though, bclonged 10 Nicholson .
The senior guard -danced and skated through the WU de•
fense for four lay-ups. This,
coupled with strong defense,
gave Lewis & Clark lhe victory.
Flowers led LC w ilh 20
points, followed by Nicholson
with 19. Nicholson also led LC
with IO boards.

with the Whitman Missionaries
