~ge voters on an individual bnsis,
on the fact that there were juniors and seniurs at Lewis & Clark who
never llwd on campus or who hwd
off campu~ but were regi~t~r~ in
their c,,mpu~ mailbox Tho,,e voters
were challenged by SOS, and their
ballots remam uncounted pending an
mveshgahon by the Multnomah
County elections commission.
Jewell approxunated that forty to
Hfty ballots remained uncounted, but
couldn't give an e>rilCt count Jewell said
that lhe remaining ballots wtren't
enough to change the outcome of the
election.
11,e Bells, of course, weren't ,;c sure.
"How many (ballots)? We don't know,•
s.1idSteve Be.IL Anne Bell added thattht:
Multnomah County elections
commision had not finaliud the election
results.
The news that the election was not
final turned around the mood at the Bell
household, as well as In the No on
Riverdale camp. Steve Bell earlier had
thought the vo1e was final and the bond
had passed, saying HI thought we won
this thing. 'ro find out we lost, It was a
s.hock,H he said. "l'm not necessarily in
a good mood, but we've got to move
beyond th.is."
The election was theculminati.on o(
weeks of lobbymg, both on and off the
Lewis & Clark campus. LC voters made
up a significant portion of the elector­
ate, 418 voters out of a total of 1578. NC)IO IT 0,..., S-.l

Approxi11\lltely 22% o( LC students who
were registered returned their ballots.
ln the meantime, Bell said he is
thinking about what to do next "Next
stage, I've got to start thinking about
what we can do in court,H he said.
Steve Bell said he spent more than
$15,000 to prevent Riverdale from bo.wd·
ing a high school over h,s home, with•
out going to court once. He predicted l1
would cost another $15,000 to fight the
decision now that it has been made.
Steve Bell said there were hvo things
he could do should the bond go through.
He could ask a jury whether thecondem•
nation statutes for his home have bfl!n
misused. He believes the eminent do­
main policy is not being followed cor•
rectly. 6minent dOIJUUll IS supposed to
be for the "greatest public good," but
Bell argues that this is not the. case.
Since about 63 students live ins,de
the dlstdct and the school will be built
to capacitate 300, Bell lhink.~ this new
high school Is unnecessary, as he has stated before. "This could theoretically
h'O to the Supreme Court, N he said. "We
do have certain options due to mistakes
they have made.H
At the same time, Bell said he would
try every remaining opt,on. He sa,d he
will get the help of his friend Jose Cruz,
a retired city planner. "[Cruz) is going
to take it on as if it were a planning job,"
Bell said "We are going to make sure
they jump through every single damn
hoop."
When he thought tht> election wa.\
final, Bell chose to .keep a po,,1t!ve attl·
tude. He said he had some COU(t work
ahead o( lum, but he thanked everyone
who tned to prevent the bond from pass­
ing in the Cirst place. •r want to say
thanks for all the help, support, and all
the votes from [Lewis & Clark). Meet•
ing and getting to know some of the stu•
dents was enjoyable,H Bell said. '1f llus

wife and I in our lives, we wlU have lived
a blessed life." Commencement

0 n llicH Pm»
uclced away In the bottom of the new library
wing Is a jumbled room that looks llkc
Picasso's garage. This Is the art gallery, cur­
rently serving as the temporary home for the Art De­
partment until the completion of the new Humrinities
building. And in a little back room where the Environ­
mental Graphic Design class meets lies the posslble
future of LC's campus Information systems.
The Environmental Graphic Design class, led by
ad1uncl professor Tim P1en:e, 1s currently workmg on
the design of a prototype for a Lewis & Oark CoUcge
mformation kiosk. This kiosk, according lo Pierce,
would consist of a touch-screen-based computer that
"'\>uld give sruden1$, fncully .md campus visitors ir,­
stanl access to current campus events and wayfmding
tools.
"My dl.>sign firm has the contract to desfgn the cam•
pus sign program," said P1ertt. "It was my idea that
thecompom,nl that would make the most sense for ~tu­
denls to participate In would be the real overall
wayfmding aspects, because students represent prob­
ably 80% of the information users.•
In order to get a better feel for what sorts of info,.
mallon to inc:Jude in the kiosk system, the class col· lected approx.imately 200 surveys from on-am pus stu­
dents detailing what kinds of information they'd bl.I
included in the kiosk, as well as what sort or hiem­
ch y that Information should be organized undc~ Picrtt
sa.,d.
"We spent some time oveT the past few wcells
thinking about the hierarchies and kinds of inform•
tion that a student or visiting faculty might like toJC­
cess lJ they could.• said Pierce.
Pierce also said that without the use or the Stu•
dents in this class, the funding for such a project sim·
ply wouldn't exist. II is the class' goal to have a worl.•
ing prototype of the kiosk finished by the end of th:
semester.
"We h,we support from oil U1e administrative It••
els and we're seeking their involveml!nt/ s.tid Pier«
"We're hoping that when we're done (U,e prototype!
will exdte them enough to find someone to throw somt
money on the table and see that we can get a couple01

Ford said that the re.ison the Code

ena Corea spoke to a
lull house In the
Council Ch.1mbers, as
,1 Keynote speaker for the Gen•
der Symposium last week.
Beyond being a Journalist
and ,vriter, she h.,s traveled ex­
tensively, danced with aborlg1•
nal people;, and pursued th~
many ways a woman's body is
used subvo,rs,vely; as a tool
rather than a story.
Corea discussed the way
women and women's bod,es
are virtually ignored during
childbirth, when the baby is
born ,n a h<>spilal
Repeatedly, she has
watched women bt, strapped
down, drugged ,1nd blinded
while going ,nw labor. Shes.ltd
that cluldbirth has become ,,
phenomenon of th., doctor ,n­
stcad of n m1tur.il feot by the
mother.
Often the drugs u5'.'d to in·
duce pregn,,ncy and numb the
mother counteract e.tch other calling fora med1e,1lemcrgency
when ,1 cesarean section n1ust
be performed. Corea said th.11
in the United States 25% of the
!cmalc population that gives
birth undergoes an "cmer•
gency• and C-section.
She contrasted this to coun•
trle:,, such ilS the Netherlands,
where only 3% of the women

erlands, the ma1onty of women
rely on midwives to gu,de them
through a more natural prcg•
nanc:y.
Corea pointed out that
women were able t.o have ba­
bies before doctors learned to
perform medical feats 11ikc C­
sections Women do not need

credit for "ha\'mg the baby.H A
woman's body is perfectly en•

it strengthens and bwlds char­
acter that the body needs.
This w,,s 1us1 one exampl..-.
that Corea used to explain how
women are tom from their bod· 1cs and mode to foeJ like they
should be mad nt it or resent ii
because ii can not perform its
womanly duties properly.
She also talked about mE>­
dia images of women and how
women are constantly reduced
to their physical size and shape
rather then their entire essence.
Being reduced to o size, or
shape not only lowers a
woman's self-esteem but it
erases her idcntJty because she
1s forced 10 identify with hec
phys,cal appearance before her
mental and emotional self.
A highlight of th,:, talk came
when Corea was saying that
women who are big have many
stories In their layers, stories
that ru-e often ignoll.'d orvlewed
as unRttracbve.
T<> prove that women•~•

Mr. J'ord 1s allegmg my infor­
mation 1s incorrect, I have se­
rious issues with the fact that
his office supplied me with
that Information. The only
other possible item he could
be referring to ls my claim
that more students consume
drugs and alcohol than ever,
which at best can be charac­

not a statement of fact. Even

claim was

is he sa.rcnstically brushing

My proposal is so oif tbe

fyingly anarchical. .. that ,, va­
riety or coll~es and universities
have adopted it ln various
forms. Take, for example,
Wtllamette University, whic:h
explicitly allows students a lim·
ited right to privacy (som;,thing
unheard of in LC "residence"
halls}, provides a concrete num•
ber of people allowed in rooms,
defines disorderly conduct, and

draws the
line between

Is Mr. "It's ridiculous
