A letter dated 28 December 1995,
~ by Richal'd Bettega, The contract between the College
and Skyline is a det.liled affillr based on
the contra.ct the College used to keep
with the in-house staff.
The job description alone is more
than30pages. llstlpulntes that the Col•
lege be maintained at "Level U Cleanli·

_As a result, cha.ngtng companies would
nesult mosUy in a change of management
policy, with the workforce remaining
more or less I.he same.
Bettega made it clear, however, that
iJ need be, he is prepared to search eJse.
,vhcre for the housecleaning contract.
#I've been in touch with several Bettega said.
As part of the selection process. the
College did nn extensive reference check
on each company. Mosl of the reports
on Skyline were satisfactory, though sev•

lWling contracts. A I·
llied to the letter were
aotocopies of the 194 "Whe11 we put l)resintre on them (Skyline} to ilnprove one area, it
improve!'!, but !'!omething el!'!e !Jl.tffer.t. What we're aiming for i!'l a
conqiqtent level of 11erformance." The decision to con­
tract out for housecleaning
services, rather lhan main­
taining an in-house staff,
was made during the
Spring 1995 semester by a
committee consisting of
i,gn ol complaints filed by sta.ff, rac­
.,-lllld students about the company's
!rr!onnance.
Sbwe that lime, Skyline has changed
management and staffing policies.
lildt Btttcga and Dennis Madson, dean
iCll!llpUS services, expressed their con•
lliln tn the company's ability lo ml•
11)'tS<trvice1 but noted that the contract
1rurrently being reviewed on a week•
~basis.
"Skyline did a ternblc job to begin

"They've come a long way [since last
lllll!Sler)," said Madson, Hbut there's
c3 pniblerns.N
Skyline declined to comment, except
utate that they were committed to
ll!etlng the needs of the LC community. -Denni~ ;\la,lson, rlean of campnq qervicefl
by hospitals.
Madson made it clear that the com•
pany wasn't simply disregarding the
contnu:t. "When we put pressure on
them [Skylinej to improve one area, it
improves,# said Madson, #but some­
tlung else suffers. What we're aiming
for is a ronslSlent level of pcrfortnal\ce. #
Madson also mdkated that the
problems lhat are still beu,g experienced
are related more to the evening shift
than the day shift. One such encounter
involved a temporary night shift worker
who was found with "criminal bag•
gage'' on campus, said Madson.
Both Madson and Bettega are reluc­
tant to discontinue the contract unless
necessary. Madson explained that this
because the Portland-area labor pool for companies," said Bettega. "They've seen
the contrad and quoted me figures. I
have back-up plans."
Skyline was selected after a deta.iled
s.earch process. During the process,
seven dH/crent local companies were
approached by the College, of which
three mdkated interestin takmg the con•
tract. O! the three, Skylme was neither
the least nor most expensive, and was
selected by Bettega because he felt that
they would be a good flt for the College's
needs.
"They give their employees good
bcl'le!ils and competitive wages," said
Bettega. "Their initL,I offer was too high;
when I asked them to renegotiate, they
pared their own profits" rather than re­
duce their employees' paychecks, Bettega, Wayne Peterson, and Nancy
Sales, among others .
TI,is decision was reached in an ef•
fort to cut the overall operational costs
of the College. According to Madson,
this has resulted in a savings of appri>xi•
matcly 575,000.
Madson also pointed out that this
money does not simply go to Physical
PlanL
"lnismoney doesn't go to Physical
Plant," Silld Madson. "11 goes to the gen­
eral college fund. We're trying 10 do
more with less."
Madson asks that the LC commu•
nity "keep complamingH about things
thnl need to be improved,and to feel fn.>c
to offer any suggestions to improve the
s.ltuation.
ASLC bylavvs nearly finished
1Y MATTHIAS Fa,,.,.
he ASLC Executive Council
lhis week settled most of the
significant issues of their new
111.tws, preparing them for final review
llll week and a ratification vote by stu•
lmbon February 28.
The new bylaws streamline the
\SLC structure, gov•
c:,ingdocuments and student issues on an individual basis.
Early in the negotiations, council
members discussed thecreationof a sys­
tem to give students a direct voice in all
important campus decisions affecting
them, but they didn't reach a COJl$t'nSus
on how such a system could work or
how to determine which changes were looting with tJ,e college's other docu•
ments. A negotiating committee com•
posed 0£ Uritz. Chief Justice Nathan
Hobbs, Assistant to the President of the
College Evan Williams and Dean of Stu•
dents Michael Pord met regularly for
several monlhs and decided which parls
of the old ASLC Constitution and By-reading and revision of the new bylaws
on Tuesday. WilUams, who also serves
as advisor to the council, will prepare
final bylaw wol'ding for approval by the
council next week.
The ASLC plans a forum on Febru•
ary 21 to discuss the new bylaws with
students. IJ the document passes the stu­
dent ratification vote

u the council has opted to recreate the

imd organization, and then to tackle important enough for student review. As
negotiations advanced, concerns also
surfaced about making faculty and ad­
ministration members beholden to stu­
dents for approval of their decisions.

be such a cohesive or ensy-t<Hlefine is·
sue.
Negotiations then tumed to how the
ASLC governing documents could be
streamlined and integrated on an equal l.aws belon.ged in the new bylaws, and
which belonged in operating rules. They
also removed language that conflicted
with the Pathfinder, and detecmined
how the new bylaws would lit into the
college structure and what processes
would be used for ratirication and
amendments.
Late m the process, the ASLC llxecu•
t:ive Coundl took over 10 hammer out
the details of ASLC's Internal structure,
culminating in an intensive line-by-line part of college policy,
binding all branches of the college ad•
ministration, and amendable only by a
student vote combined with the signa­
tures of the dean and president of the
college.
Ma1or changes In the new bylaws
include:
A clause stating that the Chief Jus­
tice shall "Participate. with the Dean of
Students or designate in review m,d re­
vis.ion of the Student Code of Conduct."

system protects LC
0 SY Mu,iy WAllNrll
L'Cent fire alarms on campus
have made it necessary for the
Portland Fin! Blln!au to report
lo the campw; to ensure there was no
d,,nger. Campus Safety works with an
unportant backup system to make sure
members of the Lewis & Clark commu­
nity arc kept safe.
LC employs a private company to
monitor the campus fire nlnr.m system.
When the system 1s acuvaled, a com­
puter hooked up to U\i, alarm system
notifies the company and Campus
Safety dispatcher that an alarm has
been set off.
Du ring .1 large part of the day, a
dispatcher ta.kcscare of calls and moni­
tors the computer. The dispatcher 1s
responsible for reselling the system
when Campus Safoty determines i( the
fire is under rontrol. The dispatcher
and officers are able to lnter:ict and re­
port infomullion lo each oU\er. If U\e
alarm is not called of!, U\e PPB is con­
tacted by U\e private company and the
PFB rcpom to the LC campus.

Yet, most politicians who claim to
pursue an America our "founding fa.

outmoded economic policies which,
even m early America, were railed
against by Jefferson and his contem­

The enormous and growing rich•

issue facing AmcncM democracy, for
two reasons. First, it causes or con•
tnbures to countless social ills: crime,
homelessness, malnutritio1\ and death,
even npathy in the political arena. Sec­

In Ole 80s, that gap also began grow­

growth of any mdustrialized cotmtry.

Leslea Nev,man discusses her v,ork
BY Jut SHAW
Omong all American
writers working to­
day, you'd be hard
pressed to find an au­
thor with a more d1Verse, tm·
press1ve body of work than
Leslea Newman. Newman hns
published poems, short stories,
novels, nonfiction works, ru,d
children's books, car\•ing out a
niche for herself ns n prolific,
original, and important figure
in ~ontempornry literature and
cullure,
Newman was in Portland
on rucsday to serve as keynote
speakt>r for Eating Disorders
Awareness Week (EDAW) and
lo give a body image_ workshop
baS(.'<i on her book SomeBODY
to Love. I spoke with her out­
side Stamm dining room after
the workshop.
Events like EDAW fill an
important void, according to
Newman, in addressing topics
like body image. A longtime
Instructor of community writ­
ing workshops, Newman found
that eahng was a subject that
deserved serious focus. Work•
shops like these "grew out of
writing workshops] was domg
for women. . .! realized after a
while that these women were
wrnmg about food even when
that wasn't the topic 1ve were
writing on."
Newman has been doing
body Image workshops ever
since. She had been doing
eight-week workshops in Mas­
sachusetts, but with her busy
touring schedule, she has been
doing a sen es of one-day work·
shops across the country. De­
spite the frenetic schedule,
Newman hos managed to build
a body of work that stretched
across the board o[ literary
gen.res, probably because $he
doesn't consider herself limited
to being one type of aulhor­
novellst, poet, short-s1ory
writer, nonnction author. When
ilSked what category she con­
siders herself in first, Newman
responded simply, "I consider
myself a writer." This is not to
say she hasn't progressed
through stages as an author.
She declared, forexample, that,
"poetry wos my first love. I
wrote nothing but poetry until
I was twenty-seven at which
point I started writing prose." Pollowlng those novels and
short stories, Newman
branched out mto nonfiction.
publishing her fLrs1 ma1or non­
fiction work (SomtBODY lo
Love) In 1991.
So, what did It taki, to b~
come Leslea Newman? ru;
Newman, who de_scribes her•
self as a "working writer" tclb
it, a great deal of hard work and Buddy POl!ms, a series of 50 po­
ems about a lesbian woman
whose best friend dies or AIDS,
and 0111 of tlrt Closet and NotJi•
mg to Wear, a humor collection.
Tlus appears to be a prolific
period in Newman's career.
Unfortunately, we don't know
when to expec:l the last h'IO
books out m local bookstore~.
• As a writer, you must be pa-
"I always tell J)eople 'watch
what you say around me."'
a desire that has manifested it­
self "since I was a liltle girl."
Success, from a publication
standpoint, came relatively
soon. Her first poem was pub­
lished In Sroe,itn11 magazine
when she was a teenager.
"That wa.s the most money I've
ever received for one
poem ... Still," Newman re­
called with a rueful smile.
Education was another
step in the process. Newman
studied at the Naropa Institute
for two years-and hnd ,,ery
good ei<pcnenccs there--after
which Sh<' moved to New York
10 try to make il as a writer. She
tried grad ,chool, but that
didn't workout. Although she
describes herscl! as "basically
sel!-taugnt," there a.re certain
mentor figures she can cite as
being particularly mflucntial­
for instance, Allen Ginsberg.
Now more than ever, It
seem$ Newman's efforts nre
reacnlng fruition. She's on tour
supporting an anthology she
edited ca lied My Looer 1s a
Women: Contemporary l.t!sbinn
Lovt' P0t:m,. It is published by
Ballantine, which is "the big­
gest publisher I've worked
with.'" A5 a result, Newman is
having the fresh e,perience of
a twelve-city nationwide book
tour. "f've never done any•
thing like this before, so I'm
an•ious to see what it will be
like.'' Also, she has a new
children's book, Rl'l11m1ber 71iat,
coming out from Clarion books
In March.
Besides these, she hos two
completed books currently
Sl'ilrching for a publisher. TIie Uent," Newman advises.
Newman has several picc:es
ol advice for prospective au­
thors, Most of this advice in­
volves becoming used to hard
work and httle recognition,
even upon publication.
"There's this fantasy of what it's
like to be_a published author, as
opposed to a. 1vriter ... you will
get rich, you will get famous,
and everyone will lo,•e you."
Newman cautions that "being
an author is a process. It's ex•
t-rernely hard work, and you
don't always get the rewards
you hope for so-on, if ever."
Still, there are things young
wdters can do to help them­
selves along. "To young writ­
ers, I would say set up a writ­
ing schedule and stick to it ... try
not to have any expectations.
Trust your own voice, and don't
expect anything from anyone
for at least ten years. That
teaches you self-reliance, which
is important for a writ.er. And
read as much as possible.•
Her own writing. Newman
says, is a process governed by
the craft itself. When l asked if
she planned to contmue wnting
children's books. she re­
sponded, "l hope so ... ! can
never plan that kind of thing.
My writing is really the boss."
Despite her seemingly bottom­
less work ethic, Newman ac­
knowledges thaC many tunes
her writing just has to take
shape the way It wants to.
Some of her Ideas come from
personal experiences, some
from stone!> people tell her. "1
always tell people 'watch what
you say around me'," she warned, and added that "a lot
of [her 1deasJ come from
dreams."
Nc1vmans comments on her
own writing process were int~
esting. She sets goals, but ulti­
mately lets the writing take com•
mand. Though she doesn't sit
down and say, "I am going to
write a poem. or a theme, or a
set of poems,# she does take ex­
isting work nnd decide on future
aspirations for it. This is how n,e Buddy Poems came about­
Qnce a few of the poems took
shape, she was able to deeide a
set of fifty poems might be ideal
for this effort.
Tlrt Budtl!f Poems IS, at this
point, one of the works
Newman is most excited about.
She usually considers what she
has worked on recenliy her best
work, and this collection prom­
ises to be full of the emotion that
makes her earlier collections,
like I.cw Me L,kt Yo11 Mea11 It, so
powerful. "I think it's important with work nnd touring tsp!('
hibitlve.

And does she like touring?
"It would depend whctt

are parts o! It which are undt
niably enjoyable for NCWIIUll

in writing to go where the en­
ergy Is," Newman said, and the
powerful,electric subject matter
of 11te Buddy Poems wielded by
a poet like Newman should
make it a book well worth an­
ticipating.
As far as Newman's future
goes, she isn't looking far. En­
joying lhc process of writing and
dealing with her now-hectic
schedule make It difficu It for
Newman to project where she
will be later 1n her career, though
she does enjoy the thought of
teaching. After al~ she taught
community-based writing
workshops in Mass.,chusetts for
ten years. While Newman says
she might like a guest teaching
slot at a college, her schcd ule before--and once read at Ir

One or the most lmpressh,
qualities Newman exhibited
was her down-to-eacth mod­
esty. When asked when sl1I
kn.ew she had 'made il.' as1
writer, she gave the simple n­
sponse "I don't know if l'1t
'made It' yet."
