Timber: biased information may be the only way forward
Dear Editor,
( nm wriLing in regards ton lener sub­
miucd by Ben McKinley which was then
printed in the April I llh issue of the Pio­
neer Log. Mr. McKinley commented on
how, throughout his childhood nnd the fact
thal he grew up in a southern Oregon cim­
bcr family. he had received an unbiased and
"111odero1c·· perspective on the Pacific
Nonhwcst logging issues. l certainly agree
with his slatcmcnts addressing the fact that
for lmpanial opinions to bc formed, there
must be an equal repre-scnlation from all
sides of a given issue. For me. hnving only
been in Oregon for Jes; than :, year now, I
have been exposed to more first-hand envi­
ronmental philosophies addressing the tim­
ber conflicts than I could probably even re­
member. However, I nm a.lso quick I<> state
tha1 there is n trcrncndous amount of knowl­
edge and exposure 1ha1 I have yet to cxperi•
cnce.
Throughout the "96-·97 school year,
there have been many infonnative pro­
grams. field trips. and will necessarily con­
tinue 10 he numerous course curriculum

the countless cnvironmcntnJ issues, includ­
ing one of the most important in 1his area;
OLD GROWTH LOGGING. Now. I know
1h:H. outside of various biology videos in ..
tcrviewing Limber company CEOs and For•
csl Service officials, I hove nol been ad•
cquately expc.>scd 10 1he opposing arguments
in the ha11lc over our last remaining old
growth stands. and for 1ha1 I must try and
be as c.ivil and impartial as possible. Al•
though I do believe 1hai each side or a given
argument should have its fair representation,
that does no1 mean that each side is corrcc1
nnd is ethically. economically. or ecologi­
cally justified. In situations such a, the old
growtJ1 logging epidemic. it is increasingly hard to be impartial and compromising. Af•
tcr seeing footage and being exposed to in­
formation regarding !he moss, ve exploi1a­
tion and complete unrestricted destruction
of our nation's beautiful forests, it's impos•
siblc for me not to take :in cnvironmcncally
biased perspective, nol lO mention feeling
personally and spiritually attacked. As you
will notice when you cnkc :my environmen•
1al science course, the rhc10.ric of the text
and the material it's composed of is going
co be somcwha1 biased in favor or environ­
mentalists, and in my mind rightfully so.
Wi1h all the abuse and neglect 1hat hu­
man beings have inOicted upon the Earth,
we have drastically overstepped our bound•

whether forests were created

arics. Therefore. in order to successfully
restore and conserve what we still have left,
we must offer inspirational. though1 .. pr<)\1ok•

for the sake our saving ourselves! Ir we stick
with our compromisable auitudes. you will
find that. in due time. the once con1plctcly
untouched fores1s will vanish from the
Northwest.
Mr. McKinley talks of things that "we"
will need, such as housing mnterials and "a
place to recreate." These arc indeed v:-ilu­
ahlc arguments, for their economic and uLili-
1arinn significance, but with such an an1hro-

Dear Edit(}r,
I would like toc.xpros~ my views about
two subjects regarding Hartzfeld. First. as a
resident of Hartzfeld A. I think I speak for
everyone when I say that not having a key
card or punch on the back door is ridicu­
lous. Not only is this door the closest to the
re-~t or campus, but it is the only wheelchair
accessible entrance. There is no other way
to get into the dorm if you are in a wheel­
chair. I 1hink tha1 fedcml law would agree
wi1h me when I say that there must be al
leas1 a punch code on this door.
The second issue is about the

Dancing: offense or expression?
Dear Edi10r.
On Wednesday April ninth I witnessed
an extremely disturbing display in the coun•
yard adjacenl 10 the library. Under the guise
of art several Lewis & Clark s1uden1s drove
their cars near !he librnry and proceeded 10
scream obscenities and prance nbout. At one

1hink a rcquircmenl or ;,rt is special talent.

This produc­
tion of insanity
was not only con•
doncd by the col­
lege bu! sponsored
by the 1hea1er depanrnent. I feel tha1 this is
an ou1ragc. The adminislration of Lewis &
Clark is in effccl sponsoring immorality and
offensive material. The lack of consider•
a1ion, by the administration, to the students
who do nol wish to be subjected 10 such im­
moralities is disturbing. Frankly I am
ashamed to even be a part of this institution
if displays like this one arc considered aca­
demically sound and a just expenditure of
Lewis & Clark funds.
I implore the studcnis and faculty of this
Institution to disallow this type of ··perfor­
mance" in !he future. I realize it is 1he '90s

Beware of Res. Lile
De,,, £cli11,r. I Letter from the Editor: a fond farewell
The Ofricc Qf Residence Life maintains n policy in
which their goo ls arc to "provide students with quality food
and a comfortable, safe place, 10 livc, study, nnd lenrn," a.,
sw1ed in the Pathfinder-our so called mnnual for lite at
Lewis & Clark. Personally, (and I know I am no, alone in
my opinion.) I don'< think 1he Office of Residence Life has
been meeling <heir goals.
They say 1hey wan, to keep s1udcnL~ comfortable. how­
ever when you look at the complnin1s s1uden1s have about
their uncomfortable surroundings, the Office has liule sym•
pathy. The process to "get ou1" however, is long, bureau­
cratic, and often lead., 10 unsatisfactory resul1s. I am a se­
nior, 22 year.; old, and wanted 10 be released from my hous­
ing contmct at the end of fall 1crm. I petitioned the Contract
Release Commiuee 10 be released for wha1 I thought were
very good reasons. No such luck. They turned down my
pe1ition, so I appealed the decision, only 10 come to the
same rejection. They did not believe that my circumstances
were bad enough 10 be what they deemed a "hardship."
I was in a terrible state. I had no idea wha110 do at that
point. I could see no way that I could possibly live in the
residence halls and finish the work 1ha1 I had to do this
spring. So I made the decision 10 take a leave of absence in
December of 1996.
After I returned from break, and was moving out of
my room, I thought about it some more. ReaUzing that if I
did not return to school this spring, I would ultimately de­
lay my graduation year.;
to do the sequence in
course schedules-I
made the decision to re­
turn to school. However,
because there was some­
one else living in my
room. I took up rent in a
house with some friends.
I thought that was the "They're bigger than
you, have more
money than you, and
they are going to win
in the end."
end of my trouble. When I went 10 cancel my leave of ab•
sence, I discovered that the p0licy says lf you want to live
in the dorms again after coming back from a leave of ab­
sence, then you should contact the Office of Residence Life.
But I didn't want to live in the dorms, so I continued to live
in my house.
Then I got an e-mail message from Judy King, asking
me to call Dean Ford's office to set up an appointment to
discuss "contractual mauers" with Michael Ford and Sandi
Bouemiller. I was compliant, and scheduled to meet with
them the following week on February 4th, Tuesday. When
talking with friends about this meeting, it was suggested 10
me 10 take a Lipe recorder to the meeting and get it down
for the record. I thought that this was excessive and para­
noid. So I didn't take one. Boy do I wish I had.
During the meeting Michael Ford and Sandi Bottemiller
inforn1cd me that they thought I had taken sly actions against
the college. They believed that I had evil intentions 10 trick
the college into getting out of my housing contract. Michael
Ford told me outright 1ha1 I had made the wrong decision
in not coming 10 see him and Sandi when I got back from
break and changed my mind nbout taking a leave of ab­
sence. To me, this seemed illogical: why should I go and
sec them when the information given to me at the time staled As three-year staff member.;, Ben and I have a lot
of memories tied up in the Piolog, rrom s1ories1ha1 have
been pulled due to "ethical issues" to the crazy "Piolog
Olympics" nntics of late layout nights. These memories
are shared with the other graduating seniors. Joe
Grossman, also• three-year staffer has earned the affec­
tionate nickname of Jo-Jo for good reason. Providing us
with photos for the last three years have been Kevin
Cooley and Blythe Gage. They have earned a position
of honor, not only for their great photos, but also for
their long hours in the darkroom. Jamie Diamond, of
sports fame, is another three-year editor. He along with
the rest of the sports staff, Kerry Kemper and Pohai
Kukea, who are some of the newest Piolog staff, have,
brought new life to the last section in the paper. Mau
Harrington, with his crazy sense of humor and great
graphic design skills is responsible for more ad designs
and more event promotion (in Pub-Occs) than any other
student on campus. Other seniors have been helping
behind the scenes and haven't gouen all the recognition
they deserve. Leslie Starshak is the one you see carry•
ing around stacks of papers on Fridays making sure the
work the rest of us do actually makes it to you, the read­
ers. "llus paper has been brought to you by ... " Brendan
Appleberry. the newest staffer who joined us just this
that I should go sec them only if I wanted 10 continue living
in the residence halls?Thcy told me that they had canceled
my housing contract, and were going 10 scek-(egal counsel
on my case. I told them if they were going 10 talk to their
lawyer. I wanted 10 get copies of all the interactions so that
I would know what was going on.
I didn't get any legal correspondence. Instead l got a
leuer, stating that either I owed the college around $2,000
if I wanted 10 stay in school this term. or lcould pay around
$700 if I wanted to withdraw right now. That money was 10
pay for~ dQf!!l room and a meal plan. If I did not pay this
amount, I would not be able to graduate because there would
be a balance on my account. After talking with a few people
in the administration I was faced with basically the same
answer: They're bigger than you, have more money than
you, and they are going to win in the end. Why fight'/You're
only going to lose-how much longer do you want this to
go on anyway?
So I bit the bullet. But you don't have 10. Be careful,
only live in the Residence Halls if you really want 10. Don '1
try 10 negotiate your problems with the Office of Residence
Life. you will rind your efforts futile and frustrating. Resi­
dence Life says they want 10 keep students comfortable and
happy-but it seems when students have problems with their
living arrangements, tbe questions are bureaucratic or con­
tractual in nature instead of actually 1.rying to get to the
core of the student's problem. I am not an easily frightened
person, but what they have muscled over me, scares me. J
am just one pcr.;on, you arc just one person. Unless you
have lots of money and can fight a good legal baule I would
suggest taking the hard road.

End overconsumption
Dear Editor.
A thousand blessings to Mauhias Fripp for his anicle,
"Step away from the Cash Register ... " in the April 11 is­
sue of Pio Log. The diseases of our society are diseases of
excess. While most countries struggle 10 feed their mal­
nourished populations. we deal with heart disease and eat­
ing disorders. It's like America is choking on the luxury it
works so hard to enjoy. Over-consumption takes countless
forms, and, fonunately, that means there are an equal num­
ber of solutions, most of which deal with just si·mplc day-
10-day changes. Taking a personal stand against over-con­
sumption alleviates some of the helplessness we may feel
about dismaying global conditions. Also, taking a personal
stand, at whatever level you're ready, makes a real, tan•
gible difference. I wouldn't a11emp1 to suggest where oth­
er.; should start in their own lives because I think we all
have some idea of where our responsibility falls short. I
will suggest though that people read more about the issue:
Jsltmnel by Daniel Quinn is a great book, as well as any­
thing by John Robbins. Thank you Mauhias!

Religion is more than
ritual
Dear Editor.
Equating a set of beliefs and rituals with religion, and
so equating Heaven's Gate with any other religion. is a re­
ductionist viewpoint, comparable to equating words with
language, paint with art, and vibrations with music ("You've
go< 10 have faith in something," Pioneer Log, April 11,
1997]. Yes, religion is about beliefs, but until the 17th cen­
tury the word "faith" or "believe" meant 10 set one's heart
cm, 10 be dedicated. 10 honor, and to love. Gradually the
words ''believe'' and ufaith" have come to mean conviction
in propositions. or holding a fact as true.
Their [the Heaven's Gate membcrs'J beliefs did not
give them the "tools 10 face our lives in a lot of different
ways"; their beliefs destroyed them. I acted in a piece for
LCTV in which I worshiped Lucky Charms and prayed to
a Magic Eight Ball. Did that give me a "100110 face my life
in a different way''? The rool of religion means to recon­
nect, like ligaments. The Heaven's Gate people did not re­
connect with anything; they isolated themselves for twenty
years, then disappeared. Treating all beliefs and rituals with
kid gloves in an effort to be accepting docs not promote
mutual understanding but puts people into myriad separate
camps. like competing brands in a grocery store. Why can't
we just cut through the bullshit and admit that the Heaven's
Gate people were crazy'!

There was n sod sort of irony foll by
s1udcnh present a1 ProfossorTodd L1ulc­
Siebold's lnlly last, Last Lecture. Mon

En1i1lcd "Fishing For Meaning.
Keeping Faith," Linlc-Siebold ccnlered
his lecture around whnt hr called, "1hc
wanderings of a 1ruculen1 op1irnis1 in the
wihkrne\~ or uncivil society," rind ad­
dressed n smor~ushord of t<>pics 1hn,
l:irgcly t·elatcd to his general theme of
mnmtnining optimism.
Liulc-Sicbold began by recalling an
incident in 1hc 80s in which the father ol
a friend intimated 1hat he. a.s most of hi~
gcncrntion, would ln time wear away his
convicuons: that he was doomed to he~
come just irnotherconformisl. At Lhru lime
the existential qucs1ion,; l'•f who we Jre
ond how we in1erac1 with one unothcr
took roo1 in Lillle-Siehold's mind,
prompting him to analyze his own life,
and creu1ing the basis for 1his rcncctive
lcclUre.
"I will try 10 share with you how I
s1rugglc I<> remain op1imiStic and engaged
in a world which daily buffels us and
pushes us to grow calluses on our souls,"
offered Liulc-Sichnld 10 a full room or
s1udcn1s. In a well-crafted and sincere
speech, he went on to outline his primary
points: intentionality, :lnd the significance
of every action. " ... Every one or us has

this rcali,.ation that puts Martin in the most danger because
he realizes he is no different -in fact he may be the most
vile of all lhc Point High alumni because instead of figura­
tively "screwing people over" he literally kills people. He
also realizes 1ha~ while he doesn't actually enjoy killing

Hamell On Trial Tells the Truth
Music Review The Chord is Mightier than the Sword
by Mike Skrzy11.,ki
&I Humcll proves his case on his most recent album
The Clum/ Is Mightier Than The Sword. Ham ell. also known
as Hamel! On Trial, is a vc1cran singer/songwriter who
knows how io control his guitar. how 10 focus his l)'rics
and how 10 captiwue his lis1cm!r.
Listen up. we arc taking about (he deudlic.st weapon in
1hc world. Combined with your killer instinct. you will not
hesnmc at Ll,c mom~m of 1ruU1,'' These arc lhc opening
words on Hamell's new album and they ring through every
song beginning with the first track "Mr. Fear".
Hmnell has:, certain knack for gelling straight to the
poin1 in a song. He uses a common workm:m ·s approach 10
much of his songwriLing. similar to that of Bruce
Springsteen, usingbar:ind drinking imagery. There is sonic
departure on songs like "Confess Me", which takes on an
introspective approach. On songs such as "'Red Many",
f-lame11 uses his music as a soapbox 10 convince Lhc lis•
tcner tha1 there Is somc1hing wonh listening 10. This par•
licular song is heavily lnden with bar references. It twists
in its interpretation by having a narrator unsuppor1ivc of lhe title charac1er, leading 10 his glorification.
Hamel! is both a songwriter and a storyteller. He pro­
duces the hooks that make you wan1 10 listen funher, but
you arc also rnken in by Lhcshon stories he spins. The Vines
and John Lennon are two tracks which take on a storyteller's
credo. telling a story from 1he heart with the right degree of
separation. He is literally taldng you back to moments in
his Ii fc. He takes a snapshot image of the past and puts it to
music, setting ii in mQtion 10 keep i1 from being a sull lire.
TI1ere is also a poignant humor which abounds through
just about every song. The humor 1s often combined wi1h
biucr irony. but lhe music complements all of it. Expcrl­
mcnta11y. some of his sound and humor resonates: from Tom
Wails. though with n smoother voice which sounds slightly
like 1ha1 of Frank Black.
Hamcll's acouscic guitar amnringly continues up until
the last song. The Meeting, which is both funny and ag­
gressive. h"s like a ton of bricks thrown on 1op of a well
constructed home, but there's no better way to bring down
the house. Hamel! deserves three and one half stars foriell­
ing the 1nuh, the whole truth. and nothing but 1hc truth.
Student dancers bring their work to the masses
by Kala Boyce
Perhaps you saw them. Sometimes they looked jus1 like everyone else, and sometimes an odd 1utu or 1he nagrancy
of matching outfits would give them away for what they wen:: dancers.
This past week the Lewis & Clark Theatre Depnrimenl and Susan E. Davis•s "Dance Composition and Perfonnance"
Class transformed the campus by taking dance ou1 of the theatre or classroom and into the library, onto picnic tables, and
ou1 into quadrangles and fields all over campus.
These events collectively stand out as in1egr,Ling the an of dance with our everyday lives. Dance and move­
ment are not merely acts of an to be performed on stage, imposing barrier,; between the dancer and the viewer. Random
acts of artistic movement and dance can be incorporated into everyday life, and make the mundane richer and more
fulfilling.
The dances stopped students in their tracks all over campus. The dance "Collision," which featured Llirec cars in
front of lhe library, stopped a large crowd of migrating students. One watcher, Jill Teasley, was struck by how this dance
kepi so many people in the same place al the same time. "Usually people arc coming and going. 11·s cool to sec everyone
hen: watching the dance," she said,
These dancers certainly transformed the space they occupied. ,;Radiating Silence,'' which was performed on the
steps of the library leading 10 the second noor, created the silence and attention for which i1 strove. Speaking stopped as
students were mesmerized by the dancers' transfomrnlion of the practical, horing library steps into a place of movemenL
When 1he clapping began. some students turned from their computers with liule rcali,,11ion of what they had just missed.
Nicole Barncs's dance, "Pink Poodle," performed on lhe picnic tables in front of Bodine, reaiurcd a narrator in
a uniform and with a megaphone, speaking ou1 against the dance. As he shouted out, "No dancing on 1he picnic tables,"
nnd cilcd LC penal codes for such activity, the message of translbnnntion became more cle..'lr. 111ese pcrfomumcc..~
rcappropriatcd common space for artis'lic expression, nnd Lhc new connections which lhey forged rcmnin for those who
were lucky enough to see 1hc performances. The few examples above jus1 begin 10 demonslrulc lhe variety and wlent of
the dancers' compositions.
A special "thank you" to our generous and patient
supporters tor another great year. Most ot us will miss
many of you. Today, we consider ourselves the luckiest
student journalists on the face of the earth. ...... X◄O & SLd ~ese~t

Mullaly powers LC over Bruins
by Kury Kemper
Following a dismal 0-9 conference
s1an, Lewis & Clark baseball got back on
track this past week. winning three of four
NCIC contests. The week was also high­
lighted by the play of freshman standout
Brian Mullaly who hit two grand-slams and
notched 10 RBl's.
Saturday. LC began a three-game se­
ries against George Fox University in a
double-header at Joe Huston Field. Down
4-2 in Lhe sixth inning or a seven inning
game. LC catcher Grayson Pounder pro­
vided the fireworks with a 1wo-run blast 10
1ie up !he game. But Pioneer pitching fa(.
1ered in the seventh, allowing seven runs to
cross the plate to lose by the final score of
11-4. Pounder was one-hi! shy of the cycle,
adding a single and a double with a 3-3
perfomancc.
The focus of !he second game was
pitching. as Justin Duling threw a nine-in•
ning gem for his first complete game of !he
season. II was !he second straight solid stan
for the youn~Jer who struck ou1 seven while
giving up six hits for the 4-2 victory. Sunday's game was postponed due 10
rain and was played Tuesday on 1he Bruins'
home 1urf. Once ogain, LC fell behind early,
only 10 come back 10 win its second straight
game 11-8. II was one of !he best ou1pu1s
of lhe se.ison for LC scanering 14 hits. five
of which went for extra bases. Koko Hunt's
two-run shot and a gmnd salami by Mullaly
in the sixth inning provided the offense
needed to seal ~,c win. Hunt finished the
day with 2 RB l's and was 3-of-4. Pounder
continued 10 mash, 1he ball touching Bruin
pitching for four hits.
Lf you recall. Mullaly's bases loaded

Jackie Robinson's legacy continues to be inspiration
by Jamie Diamond
Fifty years ago, a momentous event occurred and it is only now
gelling it's just due. Jackie Robinson broke !he "color-barrier" in
pro spons. integrating baseball thus changing America for all time.
TI1c Brooklyn Dodgers. (now the L.A. Dodgers) led by owner
Branch Rickey gave Robinson !he opportunity to change the face.
To truly understand 1he plight and hardships of
Robinson, one must understand !he time and !he
general thinking of 1947.
Professional sports in 1947 were very rac­
ist and backwards. African-Americans could
only compete in 1hc Negro league of base­
ball, and were barred from the "American
pastime." This included such teams as 1hc
Monarchs and 01hcr names thnl today's
baseball fan probably wouldn'l recognize.
Puuing all this aside. Rickey draf1cd
Rohinson 81 the nge of 28, a very non-con­
venticmol rookie. Robinson ·s future team•
rn,ucs showed dls,u1isl'oc11on with 1he de­
cision; Rickey had u rclort. Rickey called
all 1he Dodgers in one by one and said if
you have a problem wnh Robmson. then get
reudy 10 be 1mded. In all. nine players were
traded from the Dodgers 1ha1 year, which
shows the cornm1tmcnL Ricke) had townrd
Robinson.
Once Robnl\On wa, on the squall, every hand­
ohake, every i:amc of cards, every ,ocial cnn1uc1 w11h while
rlaycrs was scru1ini,.cd by the media and nbservers in gencn1J. Juclic
had 10 pu1 up wi1h hate lencrs and racial slurs. bul he never wavered
in his discipline 10 piny bnll und play ball he did.
Bui the courage he showed extended outside of his own dugout.
Players throughout the league 1hrea1ened 10 walk ou1 of the game or
baseball. Commissioner Happy Chandler vowed tl1a1 any plnyer who
rcruscd 10 play against 1he Dodgers would be banned fr()m baseball
for life. His 1hrca1 worked ond a strike wtL< averted. But it did no!
stop the constanl taunting. racial slurs :ind threats he rccc1,•c.<J from
players.
Robinson began pulling up numbers and hilling in olutch situn-tions,silencing critics with his awesome athletic ability. Don't
forget, Robinson is !he only 4 sport varsity a1hlc1c a1 UCLA ever.
Robinson didn '1 simply c()mpcle but rather set records and led
the teams. Jackie led 1he Pacific Coast Basketball league in scor­
ing, he held !he record in the long jump and had !he best rushing
average in football. These numbers and accomplishments arc
simply unheard of ir you put into consideration 1ha1 some or
these spons overlapped times of the year. Many
limes Robinson would compete in an adjacent
track 10 1he haseball field during games.
Robinson would literully slip uway between
innings.jump in the track mee1. thcn rejoin
the game not unlike Supennan and that
Clark Kent guy.
Maybe 50 years is a long time u, wait
for recognition. however, the recognition
might just be worth the wait. 1l1is Tues­
duys game between the N.Y. Mets and !he
l..A. Dodgers was held up in the .5th in•
nmg to praise Robinson's actions und 1.:a­
recr. Prcs1den1 Cl11non hunself was then:
along with many of fac~ie's relatives and
l11s wife R:1chel. his daughter Shoron. and
Branch Rickey Tri. grandson of the fonner

and where it 1s headed.
