Curtin, direc1ar of Campus Sufe1y. Rich
Be1tega. Direc1or of Physical Pinn, Ser­
vices, and Wallo. Ford is especially con­
c,mcd with complninis by pedestrians and
sialT. interruption of classes. and damage
I.ocampus f3cilities.
Ford said thni he hod made oon1ac1
will, ska1.eboa.rders :1.boUI 1hc idc;i of ban­
nmg skateboarding solely in front of 1he
Pamplin Spans Cenler, where 1he damage
seem.s to be the lll()SI obvious. The skJl1c­
boanJers responded thnt, since Pamplin is
111< mosl common ska1ing selling., 1he ban
~·o,ild s1op their ska1ing comple1ely.
He also siresses his willingness 10
"come up wi1h a campus-wide policy 1hat
makes sonse•· for all parties involved, but
lhot the college "will do whal we need 10
do 10 protecl our c<mccms ...
Wallo was ini1ially concerned about
lhenoisecomplain1s 1h01 he received from
s1a1Tmembers of Pamplin, bu11hai skaie­
hoatding has si nee ''blosso01cd i.n.10 a larger
issue." Wnlloisalsoconeerncd wilhsafc1y
ond propeny damage as well as lhe noise
and problems wilh "dodging skateboard­
ers" especially in 1he case of recruits.
II is agreed by all parties 1h01 a policy
bnecded. Ford staled thal, ''Campus safely
olfrcers are in a crunch f1rying toJ enforce
a non-policy."
Cunin agrees, saying 1.ha1 "skate­
boarding is not illegal." All Campus Safety
can do is respond 10 complainis. a practice
lha1 will conlinue until a linal decision on
ulmcboarding policy is made.
Skateboarding rcla1ed complainlS
have increased from past years. Jay
Wellman, Campus Safely Officer received
"fourwalk-inc-omplaints in a week's lime"
from staff and evening gradua1e s1uden1s.
Another Campus Safely Officer.
Charles Knapp. agrees 1ha1 1he complainis
are becoming more frcquenl bu1 he sll'Csscd Iha1 1he skaleboarders arc "very coopera­
tive and very respectful" when asked 10
leave an area. Re s1a1ed !hat lhe ska1eboard­
ers "undcrs1and 1ha1 we are one
communi1y .... are u-ying 10 negotiale, ... and
have been very good every time 1ha1 1here
is a concern." He also suggested thal lhe
ska1eboardcrs form a club. get access IO _
vans. and use off campus fncfli1ies.
Jim Gillespie of Physical Plan1 Ser­
vices has some major concerns regarding
damage to campus property. He lists lhe
chipping of 1he s1eps in fronl of Pamplin.
des1roying of picnic 1ablcs in fron1 of
Pamplin, and damage 10 the newly painlcd
finish on 1he hand-rails ou1side 1he book­
s1ore as major concerns. He also s1re.s.~es
finances as an issue and tha1 ·'all lhcsc
1hings (damages) demand resources we
hnven'I planned or provided for."
Bnh Tumlin. Occupul1onnl Health
nnd Safe1y omccraddrcsscd the ,arc1y ,s­

bers and density. it dQes no1 make sense 10

Liubility is nlso an issue. There is
concern tha1 if one of1hc skmeboarders gelS
injured on college propeny. then they could
sue 1he college. Ford agreed 1hat liubili1y
is a "fore.<ccahle risk." Tomlin also staled
~1.a1 there ore "no parlS of lhc campus thai
arc delinilcly safe" for ska1eboarding.
Ruvon Wijesooria, n ska1eboardcr,
has a diffcrcnl ,•iew. He believe.< thal 1he
Skateboarders should be allowed 10 skat.c.
He slated that since tJ1ere are over .. ,wenty
diffcren1 LC studen1s lha1 ska1cboard, this
concerns a fairly large number of s1udents.''
He believes 1ha1 "mos1 of the wear­
nnd-1ear is from lhe rain" and 1hat LC slu•
denis make every effon 10 be considera1e
II) the res! of 1he LC Communily. "If ev•
erywhere is wc1 cxcep1 for righ1 in from of
classes, we jus1 won'l skate" because it is
''distracting to students to see a skate­
boarder 0ying by."
As for 1he liabili1y issue, Wijesooria
s1a1cd 1ha1 every s1uden1 has signed an in­
surance policy and is. therefore, covered
by either 1hc college's insurance or their
own. He also remarked lhal off-campus
facilities are available but he lists lack of
transporui1ion and 1he wetness of lhe sur­
face as problems.
Al 1heir Oc1obcr 23 meeting, ASLC
explored 1he differenl oplions.
MaH Engebretson sugges1cd tha1 lhe
possibilily of appropriacc 1ime for ska1e­
boarding be addressed and sa.id he would
suppon an ini1iative to give lhe ska1cboard·
ers club slalUs and.1herefore., access 10 col­
lege funds.
Alisha Beamer brough1 up the fac1
that once the construction is over, we may
sec a reduction in complain1s. and maybe
ins1ead of a policy a srn1cmen1 of expecced
behaviors was appropriale.
The issue was addressed of 1he pres­
ence of non-LC studenls and mosl fell !hat their use of the facilities fQr skateboarding
was inappropria1e. TI1e problems with en­
forcing a policy tha1 ba11.s skateboarding
of jus1 nons1uden1S were discussed.
' Beamer slated, "We ~re nol here 10
ca1er 10 the needs of neighborhood kids.
were are here 10 compromise bc1ween LC
skalers and 1he LC communily."
Nalhan Hobbs brough1 up the issue
of roller blading and skaIeboarders on cam­
pus roads and whether 1he policy should address this ac1ivity.
1110 damage to 1hc propcny was ngi1in
addressed and the cos1s of replacing the
damaged areas. Concern was raised aboul
1he small number or skateboarders prescni,
and the possibili1y of constructing an aher­
na1e ska1ing area was raised.
Finally. 1he ASLC board decided 10
1urn the issue over 10 :1 smaller commiuee
and to work in coopem1ion wi1h Ford and
01hers to create a policy.
Committees Without Reps
by Colin Ryono
S cvcral academic commiuccs are
wi1hout studenl represen1a1ives due
to mistakes made by ASLC.
.. lf no student is on a committee,
we've I0s1 an opportunily to shape our com­

Engebretson said. concerning 1he lack of

commiuces a1 Lewis & Clark.
According 10 Engebretson, he was
personally confused as 10 the applican1 pro­
cess 1he potential represcnta1ives had 10 go
through. In addilion. ASLC was involved
with other business and unintentionally ig­
nored the commi11ec appoinlmenis, unfor­
tunatcl y impairing some commiuccs.
ASLC's duly is 10 lind a s1udcn1 (or s1uden1S) that are interested in a specific position,

l'nirs Board (SAAB) and the LC Faculty.
Three years ago. s,udcnts conducted
a survey abou1 :,cadcmic dishonesty nl LC.
The results promp1cd the creation of 1he
Academic Integrity Task F'orce which was
chaired by Michael ford. Dean of S1udcnts.
The 1ask force consisted of students, fae­
uhy. und administr:uors, and I wus for1una1c
enough 10 serve 011 tho task force for two
consecutive years. As a result of one ye::ir
of research. and 1wo years of debmes und
drnfis, the Task force complc1cd a documcm
calle<I 1heAcadcmic lntegri1y Policy & Pro­
cedures which was widely crnbrnccd by the
LC community last year.
TI,crc arc two points I would like to
emphasize regarding this docun1cn1. Firsl.
students arc c.cn1ral in main1.aining the
College ·s academic inlcgrity standards. The
College Honor Board consists of three stu­
dents. 1hrcc fucuhy members. and is chaired
by a student.
Second. the new policy and proce­
dures centralize this process to insure basic
elcmcn1s of fundamental fairness and con­
sistency with sanctions.
ThcAcademic ln1egri1y Policy & Pro-!here's no way measure 37 can be defca1ed
without confusing the issue. An Oregonian
poll in Scplcmber found overwhelming sup­
pC>rl (78%) forlhe measure. This is not sur­
prising, considering most Americans (up­
wards of 70%. according to recent polls)
consider themselves ucnvironmcntalist"
The trouble is-and the opponents of
measure 37 kmiw this 100-many of 1hese
people nrc casual environmentalists: the
kind of people who vote for recycling mea­
sures ir they're out 1here, but don't concern
themselves ovennuch with educating them­
selves abou\ them. There's nothing at all
wrong with being this kind of person-they
arc. if anyone is. 1he .. silenl majority'' that
politicians since Nixon have been appeal­
ing to. Whafs wrong is that 1hc na1ional
grocery chains like Safeway, who oppose
expansion of 1hc boule bill. have targeucd
these people in order 10 distract us rrom a
bipartisan solution 10 our ~• and recy­

Sincerely,
Steven Chan is cnonnous, as well. The S4 million bud­
get that the opponen1s of 37 have raised
dwarfs 1hc pro-37 budget. In fact. the cor­
pora1c gianls have about 40 tirncs more
money in their coffers than llte side of the
righl. Tiiat's why we have Mr. Bewildered
aU over our tc1evision screens. warning us
that we'll be confused if we pass 37.
The thing is, if we don't pass 37. i1's
only because 1hcy have succeeded in con­
fusing us.
I don't say this from a partisan per­
spec1ivc. Even Gordon Smilh, that bas1ion
of liberalism. has declared 1hat he has "110
problem" wi1h the measure, arguing thaL It
turns an nnti-was1e bill into a recycling bill,
a rare point of agreement for 1hc two of us.
We disagree, for instance, on whether he
should dump loxic was1e in Oregon's
streams and on its roads. Even Smith. :, proven eorpora1e polluter, has no proble•
wilh 1he expansion of the boulc bill.
When you look a, 1hesc ads. i1's preu)
easy to be insuhcd at first. How s1Upid II,
1hcy think we are·? Do tlte opponents ofl1
really think we will be so confused by a ne•
deposil rcquiremenl that our label-rcadin
skills will suddenly vanish. like Dole'1
chances in Lhc election?
The an.swer is no, though. They don,
think we're stupid: they're afraid we'rcn<i.
TI,cy'rc afraid that if we have all the fll(II
about what measure 37 really does, we''
join the broad base of suppon and pass ii.
measure. They· re jusl banking on 1he ~
sibility 1l_ia1 we·11 be 100 busy 10 ge1 fnCII
