h~ recent gust of'dangerou6
\veather around Lewis & Cl:1rk
ha, plaa.>d c:-ampus arboris~ out
ona limb.
'Lnst week, jo,'Ul Greenman and Tom
Lynn from the campus Physical Pinnt,
ndvtsed the cutting of six tcees deemed
hazardous. Three were cut near Pamplin
Sports Center, two near the chapel. and
one nt the law school.
"'We ~ut thrun not for looks, but for
life, limb, .md property," said Howard
Dean, also of Physical Plant.
According to Greenman each tree
was suspicious of toppling. Each time a
tree poses " threat, Physical Plant com
pletes n hazard evaluation. The arborists
take samples to dctem1ine if the tree's
core is rouon and lfltis preparing to fall.
If the situation becomes d,ro enough, like
during a wind storm, the arborists de
cide how to hand.le a threatening lrce
immediately.
The reason trees need lo be moni•
tared so readily around LC L~ because of
the combination of elements they are
subjec:t to here, especially during win•
ter.
.. Saturated soil, high win&, ice, and
,now ... thlS comblnot1on of cond.Jtions b
lethnlt said Greenman. "The ftrsl big wind Wit$ enough to shake everything
up."
After being barraged with rain ror
several week,,, the ground near a tree's
roots will become saturated. IC high
wind IS added lo the formula, the tree
m,1y be knocked 1tround ln th.e l()O!;C soil
and uproot ..
Greenman said sometime,, there are
bad initial cood ,lions for ln.'CS on cam•
pus thnt may lead to problems U1 the
future. For example, the trees that were
recently cut near P1t01plin had thre<? feet
of bad soil al their trunks from when
they were first placed there. After lost
semester's large windstorm .1nd ihis
year's rain, snow, and ice combination,
the conditions were too much for the
trees.
Now the campus arborl~ts are focus
ing on the c:ummt situation. There are
more than 65,000 trees on campus to look
after. With the winter's extretn<! wealhe:r,
the Physical Plant staff has been busy.
Greenman s.,id Physical Plant only
cut~ down trees if ll ls needed. In many
situations tree,: o.re Just lhlnned out so
they can handle the wind better. uWe

Hunter said that Campus s.~fety
searches have been exaggerated, though
she admitted to the audience •1 recog
nize some ol you lrom some of these
searches." said Hunter.
One first-year student said the
school which he saw 1n the brochure, the
tour, and the tn·terview, stressed commu
nfty, but he round things very dilferent
whenhegottocarnpus. Thestudenl was
surprised at the pohcles and cmlorce
ment that he felt were in contrast to that
initial impression.
It was suggested that students be
glv,en • contract when entering the resi
dence halls in addition to their residence
life contract. The new conlracl would
clearly state the drug and alcohol pollcy,
as well as students' responstb11ities.
Ford said that "we have to be much more
uprront about the polic1es ... so il's not a
surprise.•
SeYeral students were interested in
whether they could influence the cam
pus' policies. Ford responded thal "it
has to do with definitions. How you del.ine public and how you define pri
vate.• Ford defined private as ·what
goes on bt'hind closed doo~," and pub
lic as "everything else."
Hunter said that proposed police
powers would dramatically change the
criteria needed to search a student's
room. "Searching a student's room
,vould require a search warrant. A
search warrant would require Campus
Safety having lo work with campus at
torneys when seeking to onter ii
student's dorm room," Hunter said.
When students expressed concerns
about Campus Safety carrying firearms,
Hunter replied that "it is a huge respon
sibility carrying a gun." Ford strength·
ened this statem!!nl by saying that Cam•
pus Safety olficeis would not carry guns
on campus. "No guru.," Ford ~aid.
Ritter, a fourth year student, ques
tioned the re.la110nship between the col
lege as a llnanciol inslltutlon and the
polioes set forth by administrators.
"You're iust a puppet to the green,"
Riner said to Ford. "You don't see the

Mike Skryzinsk, Ing my stay at LC, I will stop
and offer you a ride as I am
driving up the hill or down
agam. U I don't stop, I wUJ have
a damn good reason. Like my
car can't stop, because unlike
your nice, new Patltft11der, my
car IS an old piece ol crap and
the brakes have finally g,ven
out Or perhaps, the car 1s full.
Or even perhaps, you look
"dangerous" or·'scaryH, all rea-stereotype, namely the stereo
type that the kind of people
who (nl least by thetr bumper
stickers) seem 10 care about
anything are i,xncUy the kind of
people I would expect to stop
and offer a lcllow student a lift.
What could be kinder than not
so-randomly stopping and gi,•
ing someone n ride? Perhaps
you should change your a pp.u•
ently meaningless bumper stickers to read something like
the following "1..ove arumals,
and leave your fellow humans
by the side of the road as you
cn1ise about in warm comfort."
What I'm real!)• trying
lo say here is to think about how
your iilts can be used to help
other people sometimes. tr you

This past Tuesday, LC

over your head opening lust.
Then, cut a slit in the lop of the
bag and along either side to al
low your arms to pa,-s by. Now,
take another bag and slip it over
your head making sure there
are holes to breathe out of. Last
take yo\tr piece o! rope and tie

sure to allow for comfort. Also,
il you have extra rope left over
you can utilize this for a bclt to
seal the deal together around
your waist.
The second plan of attack
one can put into action is the use or hair dippers. This strategy
gets to the root of the problem
by eliminating the hair shaft
entirely. First, buzz off all of
your hair with a pair of shears.
Next, sha\'e your head using
one of a numerous selection of
disposable razors and
Barbersol. Now that your head
is free of hair your wet hair
problems will be over.

h~ recent gust of'dangerou6
\veather around Lewis & Cl:1rk
ha, plaa.>d c:-ampus arboris~ out
ona limb.
'Lnst week, jo,'Ul Greenman and Tom
Lynn from the campus Physical Pinnt,
ndvtsed the cutting of six tcees deemed
hazardous. Three were cut near Pamplin
Sports Center, two near the chapel. and
one nt the law school.
"'We ~ut thrun not for looks, but for
life, limb, .md property," said Howard
Dean, also of Physical Plant.
According to Greenman each tree
was suspicious of toppling. Each time a
tree poses " threat, Physical Plant com
pletes n hazard evaluation. The arborists
take samples to dctem1ine if the tree's
core is rouon and lfltis preparing to fall.
If the situation becomes d,ro enough, like
during a wind storm, the arborists de
cide how to hand.le a threatening lrce
immediately.
The reason trees need lo be moni•
tared so readily around LC L~ because of
the combination of elements they are
subjec:t to here, especially during win•
ter.
.. Saturated soil, high win&, ice, and
,now ... thlS comblnot1on of cond.Jtions b
lethnlt said Greenman. "The ftrsl big wind Wit$ enough to shake everything
up."
After being barraged with rain ror
several week,,, the ground near a tree's
roots will become saturated. IC high
wind IS added lo the formula, the tree
m,1y be knocked 1tround ln th.e l()O!;C soil
and uproot ..
Greenman said sometime,, there are
bad initial cood ,lions for ln.'CS on cam•
pus thnt may lead to problems U1 the
future. For example, the trees that were
recently cut near P1t01plin had thre<? feet
of bad soil al their trunks from when
they were first placed there. After lost
semester's large windstorm .1nd ihis
year's rain, snow, and ice combination,
the conditions were too much for the
trees.
Now the campus arborl~ts are focus
ing on the c:ummt situation. There are
more than 65,000 trees on campus to look
after. With the winter's extretn<! wealhe:r,
the Physical Plant staff has been busy.
Greenman s.,id Physical Plant only
cut~ down trees if ll ls needed. In many
situations tree,: o.re Just lhlnned out so
they can handle the wind better. uWe

Hunter said that Campus s.~fety
searches have been exaggerated, though
she admitted to the audience •1 recog
nize some ol you lrom some of these
searches." said Hunter.
One first-year student said the
school which he saw 1n the brochure, the
tour, and the tn·terview, stressed commu
nfty, but he round things very dilferent
whenhegottocarnpus. Thestudenl was
surprised at the pohcles and cmlorce
ment that he felt were in contrast to that
initial impression.
It was suggested that students be
glv,en • contract when entering the resi
dence halls in addition to their residence
life contract. The new conlracl would
clearly state the drug and alcohol pollcy,
as well as students' responstb11ities.
Ford said that "we have to be much more
uprront about the polic1es ... so il's not a
surprise.•
SeYeral students were interested in
whether they could influence the cam
pus' policies. Ford responded thal "it
has to do with definitions. How you del.ine public and how you define pri
vate.• Ford defined private as ·what
goes on bt'hind closed doo~," and pub
lic as "everything else."
Hunter said that proposed police
powers would dramatically change the
criteria needed to search a student's
room. "Searching a student's room
,vould require a search warrant. A
search warrant would require Campus
Safety having lo work with campus at
torneys when seeking to onter ii
student's dorm room," Hunter said.
When students expressed concerns
about Campus Safety carrying firearms,
Hunter replied that "it is a huge respon
sibility carrying a gun." Ford strength·
ened this statem!!nl by saying that Cam•
pus Safety olficeis would not carry guns
on campus. "No guru.," Ford ~aid.
Ritter, a fourth year student, ques
tioned the re.la110nship between the col
lege as a llnanciol inslltutlon and the
polioes set forth by administrators.
"You're iust a puppet to the green,"

Mike Skryzinsk, Ing my stay at LC, I will stop
and offer you a ride as I am
driving up the hill or down
agam. U I don't stop, I wUJ have
a damn good reason. Like my
car can't stop, because unlike
your nice, new Patltft11der, my
car IS an old piece ol crap and
the brakes have finally g,ven
out Or perhaps, the car 1s full.
Or even perhaps, you look
"dangerous" or·'scaryH, all rea-stereotype, namely the stereo
type that the kind of people
who (nl least by thetr bumper
stickers) seem 10 care about
anything are i,xncUy the kind of
people I would expect to stop
and offer a lcllow student a lift.
What could be kinder than not
so-randomly stopping and gi,•
ing someone n ride? Perhaps
you should change your a pp.u•
ently meaningless bumper stickers to read something like
the following "1..ove arumals,
and leave your fellow humans
by the side of the road as you
cn1ise about in warm comfort."
What I'm real!)• trying
lo say here is to think about how
your iilts can be used to help
other people sometimes. tr you

This past Tuesday, LC
had little trouble dis posing of
the Lutes. The Pioneers shot a

first half to get things rot.ling.
The Lutes, to put it simply, were
completely ovcrmatched. The

should get you outside b1 a
big way.
chC>. Pull the glad bag down
over your head opening lust.
Then, cut a slit in the lop of the
bag and along either side to al
low your arms to pa,-s by. Now,
take another bag and slip it over
your head making sure there
are holes to breathe out of. Last
take yo\tr piece o! rope and tie

sure to allow for comfort. Also,
il you have extra rope left over
you can utilize this for a bclt to
seal the deal together around
your waist.
The second plan of attack
one can put into action is the use or hair dippers. This strategy
gets to the root of the problem
by eliminating the hair shaft
entirely. First, buzz off all of
your hair with a pair of shears.
Next, sha\'e your head using
one of a numerous selection of
disposable razors and
Barbersol. Now that your head
is free of hair your wet hair
problems will be over.

rain remedies and I'm sure
