~,is experience which compelled her 10 look up0n abor­
lion a.sun issue of women's healtht by Andrew Hudak ioterfering with her abili1y 10 provide hcaltl1 care for her
patients. Sponsors, who eager! y approached pedestrians who
walked near the "Bon," eventually drew a crowd of
lS-40 people 10 Stamm Dining Hall fora National Women's
Dly or Action rally last Thursday. Octobcr-24.
Any participant, a< they entered the Rally's tlrena,
noticed three things, the art on the oppOsing wall. the plcn•
tiful existence of buttons and information. nnd the
ctlebr;nory aunosphere. Contribuung 10 this last effect
•~re the red, white. and blue balloons ucd 10 chairs. which
1nnounced that this was a political event tied into the fonh­
coming election. Following Dr. Jacobsen. Jeff Shaw, Lewis & Clark
S1udent. spoke or abortion as an issue or choice. Reiterat­
ing tha1 ii is a fundamen1nl part of the individual's nght 10
choose wh:ll happens 10 your own body, he described whnt
pro-choice meant to him. He funher called on those in
aucndancc to vo1e pro-choice. After Wehbcr spoke, 1hc mike was opened 10 any­
one who wished 10 speak and. nhhough 110 one wok Lhe
opponunily. Lhc participants crowded the inform:lli()n
tables.

w:os Dr. Sid Linda Jacobsen. a counselor and doctor in fam­
ily planning, Sbc lirs1 told the story of a pro-lifo family,
\lho had to mnkc the choice between aborting a planned
rrcgnancy or cqnlinuing to carry a fetus with Down·s syn­
drome ond which would also require rnultiple heart sur­
gene.i 10 ;illow ii to live. The family chose to have an

The Presidential Record: Mooney Garners Praise, Fends Off Critics
by Jeremy Broum
The eighties were a bad 1ime for Lewis
& Clark College, S1udcn1 1cst scores
were s1cadily dropping, facuhy salaries
weren't keeping up with in0a1ion. and fa.
cili1ic$were foiling apart. Like a learn pc·
oennially s1uck in last place, the school des•
pcra1ely needed a drastic personnel change.
So ii was 1hal in 1989, Michael
Mooney was inlcrviewed for the pos1 or
Presidcn1 of Lewis & Clark College.
'1Mooney came in on lhe tail or a 1cm­
pest," said Evan Williams, Assistant 10 1he
Presidcn1. ·11,e faculty had risen up Md
wentially pressured the Board of Trustees
to dismiss 1he previous president (James
Gardner), who was just not managing the
ltSOutees or 1he insiilution well."
Mooney agreed 1ha1 1he school was
in b3d sha.pe. "1loc main problem was a
general dis1rus1. There was a kind of disas­
lfOUS separalisl lhinking," he said.
At-cording 10 Jack Faust, Chairman or
the Board ofTrus1ees and chair or 1hc 1989 commiuee 1ha1 in-
1ervicwcd the
presidential candi­
dates, Mooney
was just wha1 the
college needed 10
gc1 back on track.
The decision to
hire him was
unanimou.s. ''He
undersiood the
problems or 1he
college. he had a
vision, and he was
a bright man who
inspired confi­
dence," Fauslsaid.

Apparently, Mooney's bosses were
impressed wiLh the direc1ion he's given to
the college. According 10 Smi1h, the Board
of Trostces's decision to renew Mooney's
contracl last year was "the easiest one we've
made in four years,"
While some studenis recognize
Mooney's accomplishmenls, many see the
president as detached from their needs and

never saw him," said Sophomore Andy
Letourneau.

Student Forum
Prcsen1ty. 011-,rs began to am ve at ASLC's meeting
for the planned Student Forum. The business of ASLC wtl$
concluded, and the forum began \Vith in1roduc110ns of tJtOSt
in attcndenoe.
Those atlending (besides the ASLC board) were
Hannah Buch, RD of Copeland; Cherie St. Michel Clarl:,
RD of Forcst/Hnnifold; Timi Reid l)Qlman. RD of Stewnrt,
Odell. Akin; Michael Ford. Dean or Students: Bill Curtin,
Director of Campus Safety; B011emillcr. and various rc-si•
dent assistants from different residence halls around cam­
pus.
Quickly, the <>pen discus.~ion came to the subject or
the communkalion be1wcen the Residence Life commu-
nity.
Ford asserted that or all the different Residence Life
policies delined in the P"1hji11der. students were probably
involved in some capacity with all or them.
It was expressed that there is the feeling or mutual
c:xc1u.sivity between what Residence Li fc wants and whnt
tbe student commuoily wants.
'O,e forum w•s originally inspired hy the controversy
over the newly-implemented Candle/Sage/Incense policy,
and that subject emerged at the forum.
This controversial policy was inirn1ed over the sum­
mer (referred to as Ll1c "summer slam dunk" nLthe forum),
without any student input.
The gcncnd message by the students wns the assur­
ance that in the future. Residence Life will consult students
when creating new policies that will naturally affect the
life or students on campus.
Michael Ford brought up the idea or a possible
"Policy Review Board" 10 look over and gel feedback about
new Residence Lifo policies.
OLlter subjects brought up (in a small capacity) at the
forum were how the RDs and RAs enforce the cand.lc policy,
the two-year residency requirement, and the issue of house•
keeping in the residence halls.

111111 9,
IIIIIN 81: Standards IP C1111r1blpT
I by Rebecca Seebert
Ballot Measuret3 l seeks 10 repeal the Oregon Bill of
Rights' protedtion of free expression for material 1ha1
11111d be conside~ "obscene" under prevailing interprc­
.;oos of the federal First Amendment, like Measure 19
d!leaied by voters two years ago.
TbcF'trSIAmendmenl 1.0 the U.S. Constitution reads.
'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
i~llgion, Qr prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
mdging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
,ghl or the people peaceably 10 assemble, and to petition
'iOovemmenl for a redress of grievances."
The founding fathers intended the First Amendment
1embody the rights 1ha1 they felt were essential in a free
IRIY,
However, they did not clearly define their terms-an
tmiss1on that has caused much controversy and debate in
)MSincc.
If passed, the measure, according 10 the No Censor­
lhip. No on Measure 31 campaign, would allow state and
lctalgovemments to censor any material they deemed "ob-
nae.,1
Measure 31 does not define the word "obscene," and
r:ilher does the U.S. Consti1u.1ion or any U.S. Supreme
Ct11n d«lision. The idea or !cuing the courts decide leaves
me feeling uneasy. David Fidanque, in the current issue of the American
Civil Liberties Union of Oregon ncwslener, AClU OR
News, wrote, "We strongly oppose Measure 31 because ii
would allow every city and county to adopt different cen­
sorship regulations and definitions of ·obscenity."'
Proponents of Measure '.l I disagree, slating the pur•
pose of Measure 31 10 be the regulation of adult businesses,
not censorship.
Louise Shaw. the campaign manager of Safe Neigh•
borhoods. the sponsoring organization. said that under the
current constitution zoning laws regarding schools and adult
businesses arc unconstitutional, as is allowing books that
promote the lonure or rape of women.
"Our state is a 1arge1. We need 10 limit where adult
businesses can go," said Shaw. Adult businesses arc com­
ing 10 Oregon because there _arc no regulations or limits."
The noted Ci vii War historian Bruce Cauon once said,
''If any one word tells what America really is, it is the one
.word, Freedom .... The secret of the American tradition is
freedom-freedom unabridged and unadulterated, freedom
that applies 10 everybody in the land al all times and places,
freedom for those with whom we disagree as well as for
those with whom we do agree."
Unfonunately, this freedom, that on which the United
States was founded, has been threatened since its incep­
tion, Politicians, community leaders and schc,ol officials,
among many others, have been struggling 10 define the
boundaries of freedom of speech and censorship.
RAUY. co111i1111ed from page I
Reinforced by the tables full of voting information,
the people ready to answer questions and register volun•
1eers, and a uible specifically for writing to editors and con­
gres.s, the evening main Iheme was clearly the need for ac­
tion, no1jus1 unresponsive belief. Breidenbach shared that
she used 10 willingly speak her suppon of pro-choice policy,
but woo.Id not necessarily act upon those beliefs. It seemed
another hope of this evening to address and provoke simi­
larly passive people toward action.
Talking with Briendenbach afterward, she revealed
that she was quite positive about the 1umou1. Hoping for at
least five or ten people, she appreciated the number of people
who ignored midterms and the opening night of Much Ado
About Not/Ji11g 10 participate in the rally. h was her expec­
tation that people would "realize the seriousness of how
things are changing." Further, she commented that Lewis
& Clark s1uden1s often take things for granted in 1.hc "lib­
eral" atmosphere, and are often surprised 10 learn that 1his
year's congress has limited abortion.

student issues. She added. "He's so forward

Atkinson agreed. "In a way. he·s pro­
viding the conditions under which the edu­
aition and mission of the college can be
Clllried out. His leadership is all-encompass­
ing but is several steps from student life."
.Indeed, the nature of his job pulls him
inmanydirec1ions. "Every constituency or
tbecollegc has some claim on my time, and
justly so." Mooney said. "There are lead­
CD who choose to be very available. who
choose to be popular. Popularity has never
bc<n an overwhelming concern of mine. I
•·ould like 10 be respected. but 10 be loved. cherished nnd popular-I don't need 1ha1. ..
Nonetheless. Mooney argued that he
does make himself available. ..I'm no1
neady as aloof or distant as people think.''
he said. "When students say, 'I never see
you.' I say. ·wen. have you made the cf,

in donn clusters. and meetings with s1udcn1
leaders as pa,;1 examples of his availability.
According 10 President Joe
Greenman, this year's ASLC has made an
effort 10 reach ou1 10 the president and en­
courage interaction wilh students. A dinner
with student leuders and o student a,;scm•
bly provided opportur,ities to meet with
Mooney. although the assembly was poorly
attended.
Lauren Bocanegra, Vice Prcsiden1 for
S1uden1 Organizations, has played a central
role in organi?.ing these events. "There's n
perception on campus that I shared before I
met Mooney that he's untouchable. But I
think tha1 image is going to change. No one
ever 1hought that if you went and a,;ked him.

Mooney accepts hi~ image as an un­

But I'm not looking." fttom Early On, An Academic Life
by Jeremy Brown
Before Michael Mooney even scl fool
on the campus of Lewis & Clark Col­
lege, he had wrillen • book and edited four
more. He had been a major player in the
administration at Columbia University. He
had wonJ'lllmerous awards, studied in Aus•
1ria, considered becoming an ordained priest
and grappled with the possibility of figh1-
ing in Vietnam.
The product of ao "ordinary Midwest­
ern upbringing." Mooney majored in phi­
losophy and minored in mathematics al
Salnt Meinrnd College, a small all-male lib,
cral ans college in his home s1me of Indi­
an:.. "I was the first member of my family.
10 go to college, .. he said. "College for me
was lhis wonderful gift ...
Mooney handled 1he opportunity
well, becoming student body president his
senior year nod graduating with highest
honors in 1964. According to Mooney,
three evems mode his senior year u lime of
personal transformalion. His father died the
previous August. He undertook a 1hesis on
the philosophy of Soren Kirkegaard. And
finally. President Kennedy was assassi­
nated. "My own fa1her·s sudden dea1h. be­
ginning intense work on 1his earnest and
melancholy philosopher, and then the death
or the president, whose work I had ideal­
ized. left me very pen~ive," he said .
So the self-descri_bed "young, unso­
phisticated .. graduate headed for 1he Uni­
versity or Innsbruck in a 1huughtful mood .
Intending to become an ordained priest in
the Catholic Church. Mooney changed his
mind when he discovered thal "I was rnuch
more excited by the academic side of what
I was doing than by the ministerial side.
What really got me w:i.~ the German •P·
proach to educa1ion-in1ensc, specialized,
and historical. Tha1's really what got me
interested in idcns.1
•
While Mooney the scholar emerged
Here's how critics responded
to Michael Mooney's 1985
work, Yi!.O in !h!il TradjtiQn of
RhetQric:
•"Professor Mooney has written a work
of singular intellec1ual worth, one
which is knowledgablc, informative, from four years in Europe truly changed.
the country he came back to was radically
different as well. America was convulsed
by 1he Vietnam War and by rncc riots. •·1
believed early on in whm we were doing in
Vietnam:· he said, "bul I came to be bit•
terly opposed 10 the war."
Mooney said he was almost drnf1cd
but avoided military service because he be­
came too old before he was c'111cd. This
issue still bothers Mooney today. ..I am
convinced that J_thc drJft board) purposefully
delayed my application 10 give me enough
time to gel 100 old for 1he drnfi.'• he said.
"It iroubles me. because I know there were
a lot of poor blacks who were going over in
droves. and a lot of educated white boys,
such as me, were not. I think drafl boards
were crTectivcly playing God. I can·t prove
that. but it's something that lingers."
After a stint in 1he religious s1udies
deparlment al St. Mary's University in
Canada. Mooney lefl for Columbia Univcr­
si1y, where he received his M.Phil. and Ph.D.
in 1hephilosophy of religion. Al Columbfa.
Mooncy·s shill into the administraiive side
or education began. "h happened by acci­
denl. and I wnsslill ngraduntestudent when
it happened:·
In organizing a series of conferences
linking public policy and 1hc humanities.
Mooney made a la.~ting impression on "ev­
erybody who was anybody" al Columbia.
He was offered a job as a special assis1an1
to \he provnst. ·•tt wasn't a choice, exactly."
he said. ..Typically, I got carried away.
Whenever I undenake lo do something I try
10 do it well.'' So. while 1e,1ehing part-lime,
Mooney worked his way up the mnks. even-
1ually becoming Deputy Provost.
He also wrote Vico in the Tr:1diLion
of Rhc1oric. on Giambattis"' Vico. an eigh•
1ecnlh-century halian philosopher. The
book won the 1985 Louis Gottschalk Prize

tual undoing when his bes, efforts weren't

breakup stems from the terms of the peace
Collins secures from Britain (the agreemcni
that led 10 1he parti1ioning of Nonhem Ire­

Allhough Quinn's role is similar 10 his

The wc.1kesl hnk ,n the film is Alan

Historically. de Valera has gouen 1be praise
for helping Ireland while Collins has heen

as the villain, and even as he tries to give a
balanced po1>1rni1 of Ihe man, a one-dimen­
sional drawing is all that emerges. De
Valera's motives arc increasingly hard IQ
follow, especially in Ilic closing momenIs.
What most impressed me was 1he
cons1anI energy of the film. No1 just
Nccson's spirit or the well-staged baule and

in.stills in bringing this story 10 the screen

Two New Resident Directors Bring 111eir Skis to Copeland and Forest
by Katy Davidson
Residents living in the Copeland and
Pores1 halls are living under new di­
rection !his year: residcn1 directors Hannah
Buch and Cherie S1. Michel Clark.
Hannah Buch is a Michigan na1ive
who auended high school in Eugene. She
moved on 10 the Universi1y of Oregon 10
rinish hercducaiion. and she became a resi­
denl assistant during her junior and senior
years. Buch, 26, was hired this summer as a
fin;1,year rcsidcni direc1or in Copeland.
She joined a staff 1eam of 1wo vclcr-
1ns and one 0Iher first-year R.D. The learn
began 10 grow 1nge1her rigb1 away. ''The bes1
JlOlt aboul my staff 1eam was !he process of
gelling 10 know them," Buch said.
She says ii is impossible 10 compare
wori<ing on a residence life s1aff a1 a large
campus like U of O 10 1he smaller scale of
Lewis & Clark-However, she says that any-where you go, 1here arc always good sys­
tems with some ureas that need improving.
"We hove a growing program here. I
1hink our staff team can take i11.0 the ncx1
level,'' Buch said.
Buch 's mos! uncomfortable si1u:uion
happened as an R.A. al U of O during her
senior yenr. Her duty par1ncr died in a
mountain climbing acciden1 a couple of
mon1hs into school. Af1crward, ii brought
her s1aff 1oge1her.
Buch says 1he Copeland staff is close
already, withou1 the unfonuna1e aid of any
such caIas1rophic even!.
Nearly 1wo months into the school
year, Buch says she has had posi1ive inter­
ae1ions with 1he studen1s of Copeland. ''I'm
impressed with 1hc academic focus s1uden1S
have here ... i1's neal. Overall, they nre in­
telligent and very enlightening. I have a 101
of respect for 1hcm." Buch, along wiIh reiuming R.D.'sJa•
son Calhoun and Timi Reid, work with an­
other newcomer. Cherie S1. Michel Clark
is the R.D. for the Foresl Complex. She.and
her husband live in !he apanmen1 in Tama­
rack lounge.
S1. Michel Clark shares similar roots
wi1h Buch in her s1:ue school background.
She began her career in residence life as an
R.A. al 1hc Universi1y of Mon1ana in
Missoula/
She says she became an R.A. during
her sophomore and junior years for a couple
reasons. 'The R.A.s on campus were really
hooked in10 the communi1y: they were a
prominenl group on campus. I was hyper­
involved in my high school ac1ivi1ies and I
wanted 10 gel involved at college.''
She says Ihm working in residence lire
at U of Mand LC cannol be compared. "A
large Slate school has large stale school problems. You jusl don ·1 find them here. In
Mon1tma, we had lo deal wi1h a na1ionally
ranked foo1hall 1cam and a Greek system.''
she said.
Because of this, S1. Michel Clark says
her mosl uncomfor1able positions in resi­
dence life happened in Mon1ana. "I had 10
deal with more than one au empted suicide.''
She finished at U of M being an as­
sis1ant head rcsidcnl one year and a head
rcsidenl !he nex1. Afterward, she and her
husband moved 1.0 Ponland. She immedi­
a1ely go1 involved wilh a rcsidcn1fal !real•
menl center for "severely cmotionnlly dis-
1urbed kids" b<.-cause of her background in
psychology. She wns hired las1 summer as
1he new Forest R.D.
"The people 1h31 apply 10 be R.A.'s
have common concerns ... they' re 1hc most
hilarious people 10 be around. They are what
make everylhing wonh ii," she s.1id.

ing year. emerging trends al the grassroots
provide an opportunily for us to counteract
the emerging hegemonic dominance or the
multinational corporation.
These 1rends are examined :11 length
in the excellent (and newly released) book
from Jerry Mander and Edward Goldsmi1h,
The Cuse Agflittsr rhe Glol,al T::,·0110,ny aml
For a Tum Tmvanl rhe local. This 1996
volume contains articles from not only
Mander and Goldsmilh, but from a diverse
crop of social critics who reach similar con­
clusions: \Yho 1..he emerging economic or­

pinnings. and that new social movements

we'll examine which principles the authors

authors tackle the ovcra.rching subjec1, and
see wh:u kind or challenges these differences

Kirkpatrick Sale calls his nlliona.le the
Beanstalk Principle. Jn his landmark ency­
clopedic volume Human Scale. published
in I 980, Sale made his mnrk as a leader or
t_hc oow biorcgional movement. Humnn
Scale. and the Beanstalk Principle, embod­
ied the new poli1ics orlocality. Sale, Pre.si•
dent or the EF Schumacher Society, ex­
plained the principle with a childhood story.
He had always been troubled by the picture
orthe supposedly-scary giant in the Broth­
ers' Grimm fairy tale "Jack & the
Beanstalk." To Sale, the drawing or the gi­
ant looked not frightening, but ungainly and
unwieldy. Years later. Sale asked a doctor
friend tocxarnine the pielurc. Sure enough.
the doctor's calculations revealed that the
mass or the giant's body couldn't be sup•
ported by his bone s1ruc1urc. Had the giant
been a real person. every time he took a step,
a leg bone would have broken.
Sale used this story as an analogy
which applied to social and economic sys­
tems ns well. Bigness. Sale argued. was re­
sponsible more than any other factor for the
crisis or modem times. Tiiere comes a point,
Sale argued, where rurther growth tends 10
ou1s1rip potential benefits with catastrophic
consequences. Just as the giant would have
been stable had he been smaller, so too will
our economic and social systems maintain
Slabili1y bener if they remain on what Sale
tcnned the Human Scale.
Sale's viewpoint is interwoven in
nearly every page or The Case Against rhe
Global Ec(Jrtomy, and not only because an
nniclc of his is included. fl seems thal many
or 1he contributors-particularly 1he more
radical ones-owe much 10 Sale ·s analysis.
It's noljusl the mdicals, lhough. who agree
on theprimncy oflocality. Ralph Nader and
Lori Wallach or Public Cilizcn argue for
greater grassroots democracy by challeng­
ing the authority or the World Trade Orga­
niz.11ion (WTO). In a surprisingly Jinle•
known bul seriously frighlening revelalion,
Nader and Wallach point ou1 thal the WTO
can decide whether domestic environmen­
tal regulations should be overturned as "pro-
1ec1Jon.ist." Technically, the authority no
longer belongs to localities, or even nalion-states. but 10 a secretive
international body which
can overturn such regu­
lations almost on a whim.
And how many or our
environmental regulrt•
tions could be challenged
by the WTO at any lime?
Only about 80%, accord•
ing to Nader and
Wallach.
Nadcrand Wallach
view the crisis as an is­
sue or direct democracy
versus distant power.
They leave quantifica­
tion or the cnvironmcn•
tal and economic conse­
quences to people like
Sale, Goldsmith, aod
Mander. Goldsmith's ef­
forts arc particularly en­
lightening. He takes both a historical and
present-day perspective on environmental
and social breakdown, pointing oul that even
wi1h 1cchno-fixes and piecemeal rcforTnS. ul­
timately 1he basis for ecological
susrainnbility erodes in n grow-or-die
economy, which a free trade economy based
on global economic grow1h must inevita­
bly become.
One or the m0-~1 enlightening-and
most challcnging-<Jualities aboul The Case
Against tlte Global f;c{)110111y is that it in­
corporates many international perspecLives.
Vandana Shiva and Radha Holla-Bahr con•
tinue Shiva's work in establishing a critique
ofbiOlechnology and global economic prac­
tices. They use the case of the Neem 1ree.
lndia~s near-magical natural resource. tocx­
p;>scho"( corporate patenting or genetic ma­
terial can be used 10 roh less developed
countries (LDCs) or nature's gifts. Salish
Kumar continues along the same lines with
an anicle aboul the principle or swadeshi­
the local, sclr-relinnt economy-and how
viewpoints which look 1001hercountries as
merely "markets" 10 be "expanded'' detracts
from the localized economy )hat could be
the salvation or LDCs.
TI1echallengc that lhis presents for us
as American citizens is to avoid the
scapegoating trap that industry and govern­
ment so carefully set. The trap exists on
two levels.
The first mylh is 1ha1 LDCs are pri­
marily responsible for ecological problems.
and 1his diminishes our accountability. Cor­
ponue justification for continually pushing
back lhe ban on methyl bromide-an ozone­
destroying, human-killing pesticide-is lhat
LDCs won 'I be required 10 phase out pro­
duction until 2011. while the United Slates
will be required 10 dn so by 200 I underthe
Montreal Protocol. The naw io this logic is -
thal even ir LOCs used as much methyl bro­
mide as the United Stales does-and they
don '1-helping thesecouniries bc><:onte eco­
nomically more stable in relation 10 tbe US
can only enhance selr-reliance in those
countries. thus greater ecological
sustainability. Or course, the United States
also wants to forget thal it consumes about
ten times more resource energy than the en­
tire c()nlincnl or Africa-despite the fact lhat
Africa's population is significantly gremer.
The second myth is more sub1lc be­
cause it has a gr.tin of truth 10 it. The SCC•
ond myth is that third world cili.zens wish
to "develop'' in 1he same manner as the
United Stales ha.s developed. While it is true
thnl some in the third world wish such a de­
velopment model-notably the economic
and military cliles-it seems more reason­
able that 1.hegreal mass or humanity is more
concerned wilh avoiding uploiu11ive devel­
opment rMher than being concerned with achieving lhc US' model or development
itselr. Thal is. ir anyone wants what we
have in this country, it is because whnt we
havedirecdy trades off with what tliey have.
A shin lo a more self-sufficient economy in
the United Slates would do a grea1 deal 10
address lhis problem, allowing lhc LDCs lO
develop at their own pace, using Lheir own
model, rather ihan having development (or
underdevelopment. as the case may be)
roreed upon lhem rrom above. As grassroots
organizer Helena Norberg-Hodge states in
her article, "rather than fonher impoverish­
ing lhe South, producing more for ourselve.<
would allow the South 10 keep more or its
resources and labor for itselr."
So what can we do? The first step
comes in rejecting some of the economic
myths noted above. Other myths might in­
clude tbe tradilionally pcjoralive 1em1inol­
ogy associated with lhe word "protection­
ism." Colin Hines and Andrew Lang, au­

Pioneer Log controversy sparks llalogue and prospects for change
by Kelly Hicks
C onlro',lersy. interestingly. seems 10 be one issue
that cqp1ures the in1eres1 of people. Things like trials
and banned books spark a kind of dialogue or assessment
of issues which Otherwise might have gone unaddrcssed.
The,OJ. Simpson 1rial created a reexamination of our
legal system as well as the mle of the press. while banned
books often beget a nurry of activity surrounding issues of
speech. The Pfrmeer log has been amassed in such a reex•
aminntion and flurry of activity.
The seeds of bo1b reexamination and activity began
10 sprout when discussion of a manifesto for a future kind
of paper, pul out by a former Pio Log writer. was brought
up al one of our weekly meetings. l. after having received
oneofthe.~c papers at dinner, felt it noteworthy to mention
ii al 1he meeting. mainly because of its critique of Ute pa­
per.
Although the .issues the manifesto raised are impor­
tant, it is the dialogue. nnd hopefully the changes that will
occur as a result of this dialogue, tltat is significant for the
Lewis and Clark community. The important dialogue dur•
Ing that meeting surrounded a critique of the paper done by
one of the staff writers on troubling aspects, many more
tltan 1hose addressed in this article. in which the Pio Log
needs 10 improve.
Those present for the meeting in which I mentioned
the manifesto began 10 discuss some of the points brought
10 light as a result of the critique done by the staff writer. In
a sense, we began 10 c.ritically examine ourselves. through
the articles and de.~ign structure. commenting upon both
our strengths and weaknesses.
One criticism, however, that the manifesto raised was
lha1 the Log was "boring ... [andj continually deals with re­
hashed BLAH 1ha1 no one honestly cares about." Although
we did nol directly deal with this issue at that meeting, but
have at following meetings. I feel ii is an important issue 10
question presently. It is important because ii requires the
input of not only the staff of the Pio Log but the entire Studcnl body.
My first question, when reading this statement, was
what kinds of articles constitute "boring"'! Arc articles that
relate 10 ASLC boring, or arc 1he boring articles the ones
that discuss what is generally occurring on campus? And
if we lind these articles 10 be boring, do we simply stop
covering them or merely write them so as 10 grab the a1ten-
1ion of the reader'/ Although I do not find the above men­
tioned subjects 10 be boring, 1hcre are obviously those who
do.
Even though I find some articles 10 be more interest•
ing than others. I believe in the need for all of those articles
deemed important by a majority of students 10 be published.
I can only wonder whether or not a majority of students a.re
silent about their opinions regarding presently published
articles.
Another aspect. as well as flurry of activity in1ercon­
nec1ed with the content of the articles addressed in the man.i­
fes10. was mentioned on a KLC radio show this Sunday. It
was mentioned 1ha1 ··passion" was often missing from the
articles. When confronted with these two valid observa­
tions, regardless of my personal opinion on the issue. I be­
gan 10 question the means 10 correct the.<e problems if they
did in fact exist.
Do we stop printing some anicles if they don't ap­
peal 10 a large majority of people regardless or their note­
worthiness? Or, because we recognize the value in their
story, do we spice them up. giving them a voice of passion
so as 10 be appetizing 10 the majority of people? I, obvi­
ously, do not agree with the idea of spicing up an article to
make ii more readable. However, this presents an interest­
ing dilemma. What do we do wi1h those important stories
that just don '1 seem to interest very m~y people or contain
much passion?
One way in which these problems can begin to be
solved is through more active participation by students. The
more people involved, whether by actually participating on
the Log staff or simply by submiuing story ideas and com-meots, the belier the quality will be. Like survival of the
finest. only the best and most in1eres1ing stories from the
large pool of stories will be wrillen.
For 1hc author of the manifesto, however, tl1is either
didn't work or wasn't enough. Bui even though I support
him in his effort 10 start another collection of Ii1cr.11ure on
campus, 1 feel it is as important 10 work and fashion the
log into something we can all be proud of. And this is
exac1ly what the staff writer was trying to accomplish
through her critique.
One reason we students have a responsibility to work
and make the Pia Log belier instead of dropping it, orig­
noring it all together. is that we. whether we like it or not,
already support it Through 1he student fees we pay every
year in our tuition. we are Funding for the production of
this paper. Don't we have a responsibility 10 ourselves to
be pleased with where our money is going'!
II is incredible 10 me that more students don ·1 take
this opportunity to make changes and actually affect 1he
institution in which we arc annually paying thousands of
dollars. I think it's time to stop bitching and take action. In
fact, this is why I respect the author of the manifesto. 00110
mention 1hc staff writer. Although he (the author of the
manifesto) couldn't work within the s1rucIure of the Log,
he at least created an alternative voice. He at least contin­
ues 10 have a voice. And, interestingly. it was his voice. as
well a.s the voice of the staff writer who made a criti.que of
the paper, that spurred this whole examination of the Log.
Through this examinn1ion and increaseofdialogue. I
can only hope that changes will be made so 1ha1 more stu­
dents will feel that the Pio Log is a representation of their
eollcct.ive voice. This is dependent, however, upon active
participation (not just complaining) by students. I w·onder,
though, for how many students this will be a ca.II 10 action.
I fear that for far too many students this article will either
not be read or inspire no direct participation. I fear 1ha1 the
domino effC'cl of change will slop short of its desired desti•
nation.
Trouble with LC vans leaves students stanllng ii the rail
by Laura Benson
Approximately three weeks ago. Timi
Reid Dolman. Resident Director for
Stowart/Odell/Akin, set out in a Lewis and
Clark shullle van and was promptly pulled
over hy the Portland Police for having ex•
pircd tags. In fact the tags were four years
old.
After explaining the situation, Reid
D<llman was not cited, but returned 10 cam­
pus understandably distraught. After speak­
ing with representatives of Campus Safety
and Physicnl Plant. she was led 10 believe
1haI had she been cited, it would have been
her responsibility 10 pay for the ticket.
Claire Peterson. Operations Manager
at Physical Plant, claimed that the van had a tow truck.
Besides breakdowns. Campus Snfc1y
seems to have a habit of canceling van res­
ervations at the last minute. Pour weeks
ago I was scheduled 10 1:•1• • a group of vol­
unteers lo an Saturday workday. Late Fri­
day afternoon Campus Safety informed the
Volunteer Service Center that three of 1he
campus vans were out of order, and unfor­
tunately we had no mode of transportation
for the following morning. Another volun-
1cer and I had lo drive our own vehicles 10
the workday and have yet 10 be reimbursed
by the Business Oflice. (The request for a
check was submilled over two weeks ago.)
Although it is somewhat comforting 10
know that the college did not want us using of the bjwcckly maintenance schedule.
Apparently, if a vehicle is having problems
it is "1akcn off-line." 11 is a reassuring fac1
when considering safety issues. but obvi­
ously a practice tha1 results in a large de­
gree of inconvenience for those who find
themselves without transportation that they
bad reserved far in advance.
Beucga later gave me a tour of 1hc
facilities and became very disIraugh1 when
Ihc only mechanic that Physical Plant em­
ploys was unable 10 answer for Ihe mainte•
nance schedule that was missing from the
wall in his garage. After mulling over his
cup of coffee, the mechanic finally an­
swered. "Oh 1ha1 ..... it's in my office".
Despite the fac¼hat the maintenance that bo1h groups maintain a policy of buy­
ing new vans every 50.000 miles.
The problems surrounding the cam­
pus vans are more 1ha.n obvious. Toa.II con•
eerned with 1he issue. the solution is equally
apparent: the vans must be replaced. I work
with the Volunteer Service Center and we
rely upon the campus van pool for our ac•
tivitic.s, as do a plethora of other campus
groups and departments. h's obvious 10 me
that 1he college needs 10 maintain the van
service tha1 ii provides for the students and
faculty. However. ii is also imperative 1haI

off. and that C'Unpus Safety was laking care
of1he investigation. When I asked in a voice
mail message 10 Bill Curtin about Ihc status
of1heinves1iga1io11 I did not ge1 a response.
If this anecdote seems strange and jus1
a little outr:,geous 10 you. he wa.mcd: this
is only one example of nbundan1 problems
with the llcet of LC campu$ vans. If you
~ave used the vans (or know someone who
has) you nrc all 100 aware of the sorry state
1ha1 tl1cy arc in. They :,re, in general, fairly
grungy and have a history of breaking down
on l>oth long and short trips. I don't even
wnnt 10 know how many times the dcb:ite
team, and other campus groups, have been
stranded on IJ1e side of the road waiting for a problematic van, this sitoalion noncthe•
less made me unhappy. I looked in10 the
issue.
After talking 10 Bill Curlin al. Cam­
pus Safety and getting preuy much nothing

at those things lthe vans)." I 1nlkcd with
Richard Beuega, Director of Facilities at

clean and mechanically maintain the van

It was obviou.~ that I made Belleg:,
nervous. He wns overly eager 10 reassure
me 1hm they maintain n light weekly main­
tenance schedule for each van. However,
Claire Peterson, Benega's co-worker, Inter
had 10 correct him when she gave me" copy 10 the vans seems somewhat lacking, Ihe
most important point to come out of my in•
tcrview wi1h Benega was a draft of a pro­
pos:~ 10 replace the campus vans within the
next I wo years. As Director of College
Outdoors Joe Yuska pointed out, "it makes
economic sense" 10 replnec the vnns rather
than continue 10 pour money into the up­
keep of the old ones. Five of 1hc si• cam­
pus vans are live years old and the remain­
ing van is eight years old. All have accu­
mula1ed well over 100,000 miles.
Yusko also pointed vut 1hn1 both
ASLC and College Ouidoors have opted 10
buy-ond mainmm their own v,111s out of their
own budgets rather than rely solely on the
carnpus va.n pool. lt is interesling to note tcnance. We can complain about po<,rmain­
tenance, but ~1e real problem is lhnt the vans
arc old and tired.
Unfortunmely it is unclear whe~ we
may expect 10 have the vans replaced. When

Tri-Met consb-uction and inconvenience wreak havoc for bus riders
by Rich Pitor
Time and again I hear idealistic people (usually
Freshmen who've never had 10 deal with commuting)
telling me what a wonderful thing taking the bus is and that
more people should do it to save the environment. I won­
der. have any or you stopped to really think about why more
people don't?
I live in Beavenon. It's about 20 minutes to campus
by car and about 75 minutes by bus. Not the best commute
in the world. but cenainly Feasible. Or so I thought before
this morning.

I hiked. Adding insult 10 injury was the fact that en
route I was passed by m least 1wo dozen cars identifiable
as belonging to LC students. The ou1-of-s1aie license
plates and leftist bumper stickers (Role Hemp 96) added
an odd contrast 10 a neighborhood that is otherwise liule
more than an ideological anneJt of Lake Oswego. So

we have a sick joke at the expense of those who can't
afford to drive. Even a day's w:1rning that the transit
center would have been under construction (is a sign

to plan for it. On the other hand, I shouldn't have 10

Jeff Shaw·s article 0NARAL ... " (Oct. II, 1996)
should raise some questions in the minds or those who
read it.
Questions like, How do Shaw and the group he is
propagandizing reach their conclusions? Are they weigh•
ing their "rcpr<>ductive rights" slogan versus the right of
an unborn child's life? If so, what is it in their makeup
that allows them 10 thoose the former'/
Shaw nnd others in the pro-death camp would no
doubt counter with the familiar refrain that the unborn
ctiild is nothing more Limn a random gathering or cells.
This flawed reasoning is nothing less than the moral
cop-out or Ute twentieth century. It is a conclusi(>n home
out or convenience rather than logical thought. Reason­
ing like Utls wns the motivating factor in other tragic move­
ments in American history •• the mass destruction oFTndi•
ans and the slave tr.tdc.
In each or these case.,, the death merchants patheti­
cally considered their victims as le.ss than human. foster•
ing theconvenicnceof their life's choice. 11 is much easier
10 kill nn unborn child than to binh it and raise it; just as it
was easier to enslave an African than pay for labor;just as
it bcuer tacilitated American expansionism 10 slaughter
natives rather than live with them peacefully.
The last question anyone who read Shaw's column
should ask is this: When will Lewis & Clark students, the
American people, and perhaps even its government, again
choose to uphold the legitimate right to life over the quasi­
right to choose to end Life? For tho Jailer is-merely a right
concocted by Shaw and his like, solely that their con­
sciences may be eased.

fn 1992 Oregonians passed term limits with an over­
whelming 70% or the vote. I felt then, as I do now, that
term limits arc the only way to bring uccountability back to
our government. This November we have another chance
to demand responsibility rromourpoliticians by voting YES
on Measure 48.
Term limits arc the cornerstone of all poliLical reform.
Culling shon the tenure of our representatives would open
up the political arena 10 citizen legislators. who are sorely
missing from the Congressional roll. Take-a look at our
city councils-they arcn'Lclogged with lawyers and politi­
cal profe.<sionals. They are filled wjth common citizens
and are belier managed than Congress. As it stands. how­
ever. long-term incumbency makes it vinually impossible
for the average citi,.en Lo win office. Free media, franked
mail, and special interest money ma.kc fair elections a joke.
Seniority has other negative repercussions as well.
Long term incumbents arc vinual puppets to lobbyists- and
speciol intercsl groups that fuel their election war chests.
Shon terms would deny these groups their innuence and
return our delegates' auention to us. their constituents.
Members of Congress will never forfeit the perks and
prestige of ·public service' volunuirily. If we want a re­
sponsive. ethical government we must demand it at the polls.
Vote YES on 48 and return the government 10 the people.

To the Editor,
A lot of people stay at a job because of what'/ Fi­

rea.~on Congress is opposed to tem1 limits is because it
will take away their golden parachutes-their million dol­

three million dollars in pensions for resigning from th•
Senate in disgrace. Dan Rostenkowski-who is in prison
for stealing our iax dollars-is gelling over SI 00,000 a
year in taJLpayer funded pensions. If a Congressman rc,il­
izcd that they couldn't getsuch lucrative perks and privi•
leges, they would begin to see their job as n duty-not a
money maker. Their duty is 10 represent their constitu­
ents in Congress, learn frQm that experience, and then take
that experience back home to their communjty 10 bcuer
that community. It is wrong for them to see tpeir work in
Congress as a job that they shoold collect a qlillion dollar
pension for. With the passage of Measure 4S and the en•
actment or term limits. these lucrative perks, pensions lllld
privileges will be broken up. A person will go to Con•
grcss to represent their constiru~nts-not 10 stay as long
