Graa-Raota Action c .. 11111 ta F11rm Taxtbook swap
Hoping to lncourJgc rcsponsibleconsumerism. students
from th1, Grass-Roots Action Commiuce (GAC) are
01temp1ing to forn1 a textbook swap. GAC is a new group
at Lewis & Clark made up of students interested in politi
cal issues, incrcnsing social awareness, and providing a way
ror students 10 become socially active. In its place GAC hopes 10 provide a system 10 buy
text books at 50% and sell them for the same. Currently Upon hearing of the students' worries, the regional
Sames & Noble representative, Ed Pruantino. and others
I\JCI with a few students to discuss their concerns. Out of
this meeting. the regional representative explained that the
store at LC is run by the collegiate division of Barnes &
Noble, which is only loosely amlfoted with the company.
Initially. members had hoped to achieve this goal by
the end of the Fall semester. bul were unable 10 organize
the event. Instead, they are now focusing their effons LO·
ward the next semester. Currently Barnes & Noble buys
at 50% and sells at 75%. Also, after the bookstore was taken over from the
school, prices of textbooks dropped. To its credit. Barnes
& Noble did not want to hinder what the students hoped 10
achieve. The book swap would delete
this 25% difference.
Some faculty and staff may remember past aucmpts
to create and nin something similor. According 10 Tim
Swain. the manager at Sames & Noble, there have been
many ventures in the past. but none have ever lasted long.
Swain who also ran the book store when it was owned by
the college. Barnes and Noble buys at 50% and sells at 75%. TI1e book
swap would delete this 25% difference.
Additionally, GAC hopes 10 encourage faculty to or
der through ahemate bookstores such as Laughing Horse
Books and lo Other Words. Ra~ter than opposing, Brenna Bell cites problems
with stornge space .. organization, and the handling of money
exchanged in the system as obstacles 10 the introduction of
a working book swap. Even though previous swaps have
been maintained. no record of their organization has been
kept.
Asked of his opinion. Tim Swain recounted thm one
previous ancmpt left books lying in the Council Chambers.
However. students hope that 1his 1imc they can be more
successful. When asked why GAC wanted to enc,ourage students
to circumvent Barnes & Noble when· buying and selling
textbooks Brenna Bell, an organi,.er within GAC. responded
that, Barnes and Noble stores "undercut local businesses." Earlier inis term, GAC sent letters to the faculty en
cournging all professors to do so. A few professors replied
encouragingly. but the majority did not respond.

Student Fees Change
ASLC engaged in a heated discussion
about student fees (sec article "ASLC dis
cusses changing student fees," Nov. 22).
The possibilities on the table cur
rently ore concerning the student fees for
the overseas students.
Presently, overseas students do not
pay the $90 student foe that every other SIii·
dent studying on-campus pays.
The <1plions facing ASLC arc charg
ing the overseas students either two-thirds,
one half, or the full $90.
The ASLC council were particularly
nrdent on expressing their respective opin
ions concerning this issue.
However. the general altitude of
ASLC was thnt having u student fee for the
students studying overseas would not stop
someone from going ovc~as.
ASLC Rules of Procedure
ASLC President Joe Greenman fin
ished edited the re"iscd ASLC Rules of Pro
cc,Jurc (ROP} and distributed the new draft
to 1he member,.
The major changes were the inclusion
or an ASLC tardy/absent policy, and a revi
sion of the policy regarding 1hc number of
committees an individual c.an be on.
Greenman stressed that ASLC
should look over the changes thoroughly
before the approval to make sure everything
is as they discussed.
Campus Comments Elections Chair Applications
Greenman publicized the vacant Elec
tions Chair position, and received.three ap
plkations.
The application process is now closed.
Copies of the applications were passed out
10 the ASLC members, pending a decision
at a future meeting.

In his weekly report, Greenman re
ported on ~le Drug & Alcohol Policy Re

During the meeting, Greenman read
the statistics thnt were brought up at ~le
committee's meeting.
Also. Greenman said that they talked
about bringing up the subjects of drugs and
alcohol during New Student Orientation in
the future.
Greenman brought up himself his be
lief thnl lhc focus should lean toward pre
venting serious abuse of drugs and alcohol
and also. preventing any violence that origi
nates from drugs and alcohol.
Also. Hall Council Llason Sean
Jacobs reported thut a draft of 1he new skate
boarding policy has been created.
Jacobs stated that this policy includes
a restric1ion on non-students, a 1ime limita
tion, and the newly installed cobblestone DRUG AND ALCOHOL.

"ihat"s what prompts our intervention in the
first place."
Comparing 10 1995, the alcohol and
drug incidents in 1996 reduced to 26%.
Also, 63 incidents involving alcohol abuse
and 13 incidents involving drugs occurred
in the fall of 1996. ,,
Dtug cases included marijuana and
LSD confiscations.
Short surveys have indicated that
many students were nol familiar with cam
pus policies on illegal alcohol and drug use:
··we ntcd to reinforce student learning in
holistic ways throughout the College.'' said
Michael Ford.
Five 10 ten percent of students said
that they agree with the policies, but do not follow them.
The enforcement of policies is regu
larly made, but there are not many preven
tion programs on campus.
Volunteer services is expected to play
a key role in the process by encouraging the
students to participate in various activities
that will "distract" students from alcohol
use.
Several events are scheduled For the
next semester including the Wellness week,
which will "focus on students and wellness
issues that effect their daily lives present•
ing topics in a manner that are more likely
to be heard."
To help implement further preventa
tive ac,ions. RDs and RAs have received
addiuonnl training from the Prcvw.:nlion Re
se.arch lns1hu1e.
Editor's note: '1JO you tltic there should lie a cbanlll In 1118 campus dog pollcyT"
I.he policy currently slates that if an animal is left unattended, Campus Safety must pick up I.he dog or call local animal authorites.
Leif Peterson -freshman
"I think if people own a dog, they should be
able 10 take care of it, and not have to drag
it everywhere: if it's on campus, I don't think
Campus Safety should have 10 get it. I think
!the owners] should take the responsibility
and care for the dog." Ean Koenig-Price -fre,bman
"No, I don '1. I like the policy the way it is,
although I wish it was enforced." Nicole Miranda -sophomore
"Yes, because I like 10 pct other people ·s
animals in class." Carrie Schneider -scn_ior

ihe fact thut government regulation is insufficient is the
only lrue part of•fuc conservative critique. or course it
llonc is insufficient, just as a hammer alone is insuffi ..
,~nl.lo build a house. Yet we should also consider what
community living would be like without minimum ston
d>rds for clean air, clean water. occupational safety, and
olhcr social goods. These minimum standards are what
iovemmenl regulation should be used ror: as a 1001 10
msure they are respected.
The second fact to men1ion 1s: 1hn1 conservative
drinkers have a vested interest in freeing corporations
from 1.he fetters of regulation. The more unifonn stan
d:utls they repeal or weaken. the less constraints exist
oocorporate dumping, corporate night. corporate abuse
of workers. All this serves the cause of corporate
~reamlining·· and "economic growth," which con.scr
l'llivc thinkers seem 10 consider the end-all-be-all of
!OCial goods. A few immediate problems with this are
dear: a devotion 1oshort-1cnn economic gain may profit
a(cwpcoplc in the interim. but over an extended period
II becomes anti-ecological. Dedication to the grow-or
dit oconom)• in the long-term will create a grow-a11d
die economy.
Funher consequences or this ideology arc dis
cussed below, when I discuss Chomsky's "Anarchist Ar
p,ment For Strengthening the Federal Government." For
IOW, let us consider lhe naws of mainstream commu•
tity ethic~ while we search for an ahcmativc.
The Inevitable Pull Toward Community
his no wonder thnt both panics ,md thinkers from
,II sides of the political spectrum are looking towards
community for solutions. Since be• ners from all era, including the modern. point al such levels
as the optimal poplation or a neighborhood. Hans
Blumenretd, for instance. tries 10 plan are<ts so that they
will be inhabited in such a manner that ··every person knows
every other person by face, by voice, and by name." He
also points out that this "begins 10 fade 001 ... with much
more than 500 or 600 population." Anthropological writer
John Pfeiffer tokes a historical perspective on the number,
calling 500 the "magic number" as far as local cohe.~ion
goes. He points out that "for a large number" of social
groups in history, "studies reveal a central tendency 10 elus-
1era1 the 500 level." The reason for this is as simple as it is
logical. TI,is seems 10 be the maximum number of people
who can recogni1..e each other and relate on n personal. as
opposed 10 on impersonal scale.
These numbers are signili;:ant for neighborhoods. In
terms of city planning, the numbers are strikmgly uniform
as well: there seems 10 be a consensus or expert planners
1hn1 ideal ciLies should encompass between 5.000 and 10.000
people. Clarence Perry, an important voice in city plan
ning who Sale cnlls the "grandfather" of modem city orga
niwtion. developed a theory that the ideal "unit" would be
between 3,000 and 9,000 people, with an optimal medium
of 5,000. The reason'! A city has 10 be small enough so
thnt everything important. such as schools. playgrounds,
markets, services, is within walking distance. Taking the
average eomfonablc walking distance of about one-half
mile, Perry calculated that nn average of 1,000 to 1,500
families distributed at about 15-20 people per acre would
satisry both conditions.
It hasn ·t been jusl Perry's voice espousing the "walk
ing distance' principle, however. Wohcr Gropius, the fo.
mous architect (and former husband of Alma Mahler) rea-tban common sense. He calls it the Principle of Affocled
ln1cres1s, and it states that "Everyone who is affected by
the decisions of a government should have the right to par
ticipate in that government." Democracy is an ideal thal
we have had ingrained in us-the name democracy, 01
least-since we were young children. Dahl's principle
seems like nothing but the fulfillment of lhesc ideals.
Let us, then, apply Dahl's principle 10 the workplace.
Why shouldn't we have a stake in what we make-or who
our bosses are? We are "affected by the decisions" made in
the workplace. of course. Why. then. shouldn·1 workplace
democracy be respected'/
But let us shift the burden of proof. Why .fho11ld
workplace democracy be fostered'/ Is there a compelling
interest for society 10 push ror such a collectivist goal'/
There is. in facl. so much real-world evidence that it
is aswunding 1.here arcn•t more examples of ii being prac
ticed. In the late 1960s. for instance. Procter & Gamble
experimented w11h an .. open system" in Lima, Ohio. Work
ers were allowed 10 set their working conditions, given con
siderable control over hiring and finng, e.<tablishing how
much each worker would be paid. bookkeeping, Job rota•
tion. etc.
Productivity increased. of course. Quality improved
as well, equipment costs decreased, and profits steadily rose.
This much could have been expected by any student or com
munity cconomic.s.
What wasn't expected were the findings of Univer
sity of Cnlifomia psychologist Neil McWhinney. One or
the "striking features" in his study was that underop,,n sys
tems ~·workers take 011 more activitits autsiclt the wurk
plac.e." Community aclivitfos. Workers slartcd running
for (and winning) positions on school b<,ards and other lo-
cal organizations ... TI1e mosl visible

msity has argued that the oldest

American political discourse more bandied
about as an all-encompassing cure for any
social ill, real or imagined. organized the black commu
nity to deal directly with the leaders
of the city and or industry:· 111c stun
ning implication of McWhinncy's study is that community
activism increases in direct proportion to workplace democ
racy. Progressives need to work for more workplace de
mocracy now-in terms of local rood co-ops, in 1ern1s or
trade unionism. These are s1eps on the road to the egalitar
ian community. ieaKh indicates that the family SO·
cial structure originated in the pe-
riodor A11S1ralopithecus. while family cohe.~ionemcrged
mits tum out of that social arrangement, over many thou
sands of years. George Murdoch of Yale University, af.
1cra 1cn-year extensive study, concluded that these two
1m1ngemen1-1he family and community-were the
"ooly social groups that were genuinely universal."
Rene Dubos. a microbiologist at Rockefeller Uni
lfflity. has taken the argument 10 its logical conclusion.
He claims that communality is genetically encoded in
bumans, and that we have "a biological need 10 be pan
of a group." The rese.irch which supports these conclu
lion, could go on for pages, going back to Peter
Kropotkin and funher. but it's probably be.~1 just 10 think
Jbout it: humans crave companionship, voluntnry co
q,eration and mutual aid. Humans always will crave
lhcse things. The only question is how we shape our
desires, and what kind of communities we create for our
JClvts. This is why the first pan of this essay is devoted
iodealing with the naws in mainstream community eth
~s. Our challenge is 10 figure out how to shape our
111na1edesire for community into a practical, livable al
tcrna1ive. Let us stan with some wishful thinking.
Tht Ideal Goal
As Kirkpatrick Sale has argued persuasively, many
of the social maladies that afHict ours and other nations
"'simply a result or size and the inefficiency which
11COmpanies a system out of touch with itselr. Sale's
,rguments arc most eloquently laid out in his 1980 mag
MUii opus, f/11111011 Scale, and his analyses fill in nicely
!he points thal mainstream communitarians leave out.
11,ere is no substitute for reading Sale's original
work, especially not a two-page newspaper anicle, so I
woo'1 auempt to restate his theses here. I do highly rec
oa,mend the book, or course, and choose 10 identify two
illtmes which might help show what I mean by a pro
jltSSive community ethic.
A community should be of manageable size. It is
wcinating to discover that our huge metropolitan cit•
ics, and their lack of neighborhood cohesion. are a rela
n1tly recent phenomenon from an anthropological per
spective. Dubos points out that during the past 10,000
)CIIS. most people have lived in villages of some 500
iobabitants." This is more than coincidence. Urban plan-soned that "our stride determines and measures our space
and Lime-conception ... Organic planning has to deal wioth
the human scalc ... whcn shaping any physical structure. Vio
lation or the human scale will cause funhcr degeneration
of life in ciLies."
Gropius, too, assumed the walking distance principle
of one-half mile, and planned his deal "garden city" to con
tain-get this-5,000 to 8,000 people.
Sale provides extraordinary documentation of this
principle, including present-day examples of successful
human scale living. Obviously, this transformation is some
thing to strive for over the long-term, as a somewhat utO•
pian goal. Yet it is not ut.opian in the sense that ii is impmc•
ticnl: Sole points out that the United States could even make\
the transition n;11ionwide, by dividing "the present (1980]
population into some 45,000 separate communities of
roughly 5.000 each. give each one as much as a mile 10
spread out on, plus a greenbelt of 15 square miles 10 sepa
rate it from neighboring towns. and use up only about
720.000 square miles-less than a fifth of the nation's
present area, less than half the amount currently given over
to cropland."
Second, communities should be self-sufficient and
autonomous from the state. Local decision-making only
matters if the paternal authority which 811.ioni seems to
endorse backs off. An economy or selr-sufficient commu•
nilies would go a great distance toward eliminating the
grow-or-die economy or the industrial era. In the long
term, self-sufficient communities might even diminish the
need for trade enough to stop such reprehensible trade agree
ments as GAIT.
Remember, however, that chis is a long-term vision.
This is nol to say lhat some minimal standard shouldn't be
set in the interim: After all. there is the transition 10 think
about.
The lnterim
We don't live in the idyllic end-state of utopian com•
munilies, nor are we close to that end-state at this point.
There are, though, concrete actions we can take now to as•
sist this transition while shaping a progressive community
vision. Herc are some tools for change.
Workplace Democracy. Political Scientist Robert
Dahl presents a principle which may seem like nothing more Economic Egalitarianism and restraint 011 TNCs.
Paradoxfoally, in order 10 rely less on the state in the long
term, we should derend ccnain government actions in the
near-term. Chomsky points out (noting all lhc while the
irony of an anarchist argument defendipg federal regula
lion) that all an1i-statis1 arguments fail to assume Lhe totali
tarian power or transnational corporations. which arc bound
by no democracy, by no check whatsoever-with the pos
sible and notable exception or federal regulation.
Progressives are, or course, loath to advocate government
action in any sense, knowing that its burcaucrncy mrely
produces any positive results. What we need 10 accept is
1ha1, though the rederal government may not be able 10 work
positive change in and of itselr. it can cenainly prevent 11ego-
1ivc change-the ravages or economy and ecology which
transnationnls wreak.
Ecological Co11sciousness. lt seems apparent to me
that the main consequence of United Stales industrialism
or at least, the one whose impacts will be seen first--will be
ecological. Communities should strive to be what Sale calls
"dwellers on the land" who exist in harmony with normal
ecological cycles. While it is true that not every commu
nity will be wholly ecological in nature, it is nearly certain
that human scale communities using human scale technolo
gies will necessarily have less impact than a national
economy. churning out greenhouse gases and industrial
pollutants.
These arc just a rew ideas. and limited space con
slrnints prevent an extended treatment or this complex sub
ject. I hope. however, for the progressive pres., 10 open
funhcr rreedialogueon the ideals or community to extrapo
late on what it means 10 be locally self-reliant. I funhcr
hope that progressives here, locally, as well as nationwide,
seriously question politicians who throw the word .. com
munity" about without caring about its larger implications.
A sense of place is too imponant 10 be lcfi in the hands or
bureaucrats. out or your hands and mine. NObiDAY

didn't please Cox, so he came to Paint inc
Hll I to conlinuc his career.
"It would have just brought me down
staying in Southern Cnliforniu, plus I really
wanted to go 10 a four year school." Cox
said.
11,e fotc that brought Jer~my 10 LC
was u dream for the Pioneers and a nighL
mare for opponents. Starting his freshmnn
year, he finished sixth in tackles on ~,e squad
nfter only playing six of nine games due to
n knee injury. Six years earlier he had torn
his ACL, but was not aware of it. An MRI
revealed that he would need surgery at the
end of the season tn fix tl1c damaged liga
ment. The am11z.ing thing i~ 1hnt 1his w~is
discnvcred mid-sea~on, and he played the
Final tlircc game, wilh a heavy knee hrace.
Returning his sophomore year, the fear that
his knee was not thoroughly healed left a
question mark 10 ifhe would be able 10 play
at the sarnc Jovel. Cox answered with a sec
ond team AJl•League selection, leading the
Pioneers with I J 9 w.eklcs. All this while
playing next to two of the top linebackers
in 1he league, Jirn RJ)ufcner nod Marc Miller.
This scuson Cox once ogain led the c,rnngc

first team All-League. He alS<> led the league
with 14 tackles for losses. With Roofcncr
and Miller grnduating this year, Co, will
step up as lhc leader for a defense that will
return only three starters. Cox looks al next
sc.ason wi1h a ,cam-oriented auilude.
"Ya, I need lo pick 11 up next year, but
nmJuSt me, cverybody,"Cox points out, "we
have a lot of good players who need 10 "get

Never satislied wilh his performance.
he is always looking for a way 10 improve.
With an auiwde of conlidencc, he knows

Graa-Raota Action c .. 11111 ta F11rm Taxtbook swap
Hoping to lncourJgc rcsponsibleconsumerism. students
from th1, Grass-Roots Action Commiuce (GAC) are
01temp1ing to forn1 a textbook swap. GAC is a new group
at Lewis & Clark made up of students interested in politi
cal issues, incrcnsing social awareness, and providing a way
ror students 10 become socially active. In its place GAC hopes 10 provide a system 10 buy
text books at 50% and sell them for the same. Currently Upon hearing of the students' worries, the regional
Sames & Noble representative, Ed Pruantino. and others
I\JCI with a few students to discuss their concerns. Out of
this meeting. the regional representative explained that the
store at LC is run by the collegiate division of Barnes &
Noble, which is only loosely amlfoted with the company.
Initially. members had hoped to achieve this goal by
the end of the Fall semester. bul were unable 10 organize
the event. Instead, they are now focusing their effons LO·
ward the next semester. Currently Barnes & Noble buys
at 50% and sells at 75%. Also, after the bookstore was taken over from the
school, prices of textbooks dropped. To its credit. Barnes
& Noble did not want to hinder what the students hoped 10
achieve. The book swap would delete
this 25% difference.
Some faculty and staff may remember past aucmpts
to create and nin something similor. According 10 Tim
Swain. the manager at Sames & Noble, there have been
many ventures in the past. but none have ever lasted long.
Swain who also ran the book store when it was owned by
the college. Barnes and Noble buys at 50% and sells at 75%. TI1e book
swap would delete this 25% difference.
Additionally, GAC hopes 10 encourage faculty to or

Student Fees Change
ASLC engaged in a heated discussion
about student fees (sec article "ASLC dis
cusses changing student fees," Nov. 22).
The possibilities on the table cur
rently ore concerning the student fees for
the overseas students.
Presently, overseas students do not
pay the $90 student foe that every other SIii·
dent studying on-campus pays.
The <1plions facing ASLC arc charg
ing the overseas students either two-thirds,
one half, or the full $90.
The ASLC council were particularly
nrdent on expressing their respective opin
ions concerning this issue.
However. the general altitude of
ASLC was thnt having u student fee for the
students studying overseas would not stop
someone from going ovc~as.
ASLC Rules of Procedure
ASLC President Joe Greenman fin
ished edited the re"iscd ASLC Rules of Pro

The major changes were the inclusion
or an ASLC tardy/absent policy, and a revi

Greenman stressed that ASLC
should look over the changes thoroughly
before the approval to make sure everything
is as they discussed.

Greenman publicized the vacant Elec

The application process is now closed.
Copies of the applications were passed out

Also, 63 incidents involving alcohol abuse
and 13 incidents involving drugs occurred
in the fall of 1996. ,,

Five 10 ten percent of students said
that they agree with the policies, but do not follow them.
The enforcement of policies is regu

Volunteer services is expected to play
a key role in the process by encouraging the

1111<:sregulation a~ogethcr. 1\vo rocts bear mention: first,
ihe fact thut government regulation is insufficient is the
only lrue part of•fuc conservative critique. or course it
llonc is insufficient, just as a hammer alone is insuffi ..
,~nl.lo build a house. Yet we should also consider what
community living would be like without minimum ston
d>rds for clean air, clean water. occupational safety, and
olhcr social goods. These minimum standards are what
iovemmenl regulation should be used ror: as a 1001 10
msure they are respected.
The second fact to men1ion 1s: 1hn1 conservative
drinkers have a vested interest in freeing corporations
from 1.he fetters of regulation. The more unifonn stan
d:utls they repeal or weaken. the less constraints exist
oocorporate dumping, corporate night. corporate abuse
of workers. All this serves the cause of corporate
~reamlining·· and "economic growth," which con.scr
l'llivc thinkers seem 10 consider the end-all-be-all of
!OCial goods. A few immediate problems with this are
dear: a devotion 1oshort-1cnn economic gain may profit
a(cwpcoplc in the interim. but over an extended period
II becomes anti-ecological. Dedication to the grow-or
dit oconom)• in the long-term will create a grow-a11d
die economy.
Funher consequences or this ideology arc dis
cussed below, when I discuss Chomsky's "Anarchist Ar
p,ment For Strengthening the Federal Government." For
IOW, let us consider lhe naws of mainstream commu•
tity ethic~ while we search for an ahcmativc.
The Inevitable Pull Toward Community
his no wonder thnt both panics ,md thinkers from
,II sides of the political spectrum are looking towards
community for solutions. Since be• ners from all era, including the modern. point al such levels
as the optimal poplation or a neighborhood. Hans
Blumenretd, for instance. tries 10 plan are<ts so that they
will be inhabited in such a manner that ··every person knows
every other person by face, by voice, and by name." He
also points out that this "begins 10 fade 001 ... with much
more than 500 or 600 population." Anthropological writer
John Pfeiffer tokes a historical perspective on the number,
calling 500 the "magic number" as far as local cohe.~ion
goes. He points out that "for a large number" of social
groups in history, "studies reveal a central tendency 10 elus-
1era1 the 500 level." The reason for this is as simple as it is
logical. TI,is seems 10 be the maximum number of people
who can recogni1..e each other and relate on n personal. as
opposed 10 on impersonal scale.
These numbers are signili;:ant for neighborhoods. In
terms of city planning, the numbers are strikmgly uniform
as well: there seems 10 be a consensus or expert planners
1hn1 ideal ciLies should encompass between 5.000 and 10.000
people. Clarence Perry, an important voice in city plan
ning who Sale cnlls the "grandfather" of modem city orga
niwtion. developed a theory that the ideal "unit" would be
between 3,000 and 9,000 people, with an optimal medium
of 5,000. The reason'! A city has 10 be small enough so
thnt everything important. such as schools. playgrounds,
markets, services, is within walking distance. Taking the
average eomfonablc walking distance of about one-half
mile, Perry calculated that nn average of 1,000 to 1,500
families distributed at about 15-20 people per acre would
satisry both conditions.
It hasn ·t been jusl Perry's voice espousing the "walk
ing distance' principle, however. Wohcr Gropius, the fo.
mous architect (and former husband of Alma Mahler) rea-tban common sense. He calls it the Principle of Affocled
ln1cres1s, and it states that "Everyone who is affected by
the decisions of a government should have the right to par
ticipate in that government." Democracy is an ideal thal
we have had ingrained in us-the name democracy, 01
least-since we were young children. Dahl's principle
seems like nothing but the fulfillment of lhesc ideals.
Let us, then, apply Dahl's principle 10 the workplace.
Why shouldn't we have a stake in what we make-or who
our bosses are? We are "affected by the decisions" made in
the workplace. of course. Why. then. shouldn·1 workplace
democracy be respected'/
But let us shift the burden of proof. Why .fho11ld
workplace democracy be fostered'/ Is there a compelling
interest for society 10 push ror such a collectivist goal'/
There is. in facl. so much real-world evidence that it
is aswunding 1.here arcn•t more examples of ii being prac
ticed. In the late 1960s. for instance. Procter & Gamble
experimented w11h an .. open system" in Lima, Ohio. Work
ers were allowed 10 set their working conditions, given con
siderable control over hiring and finng, e.<tablishing how
much each worker would be paid. bookkeeping, Job rota•
tion. etc.
Productivity increased. of course. Quality improved
as well, equipment costs decreased, and profits steadily rose.
This much could have been expected by any student or com
munity cconomic.s.
What wasn't expected were the findings of Univer
sity of Cnlifomia psychologist Neil McWhinney. One or
the "striking features" in his study was that underop,,n sys
tems ~·workers take 011 more activitits autsiclt the wurk
plac.e." Community aclivitfos. Workers slartcd running
for (and winning) positions on school b<,ards and other lo-
cal organizations ... TI1e mosl visible

msity has argued that the oldest

American political discourse more bandied
about as an all-encompassing cure for any
social ill, real or imagined. organized the black commu
nity to deal directly with the leaders
of the city and or industry:· 111c stun
ning implication of McWhinncy's study is that community
activism increases in direct proportion to workplace democ
racy. Progressives need to work for more workplace de
mocracy now-in terms of local rood co-ops, in 1ern1s or
trade unionism. These are s1eps on the road to the egalitar
ian community. ieaKh indicates that the family SO·
cial structure originated in the pe-
riodor A11S1ralopithecus. while family cohe.~ionemcrged
mits tum out of that social arrangement, over many thou
sands of years. George Murdoch of Yale University, af.
1cra 1cn-year extensive study, concluded that these two
1m1ngemen1-1he family and community-were the
"ooly social groups that were genuinely universal."
Rene Dubos. a microbiologist at Rockefeller Uni
lfflity. has taken the argument 10 its logical conclusion.
He claims that communality is genetically encoded in
bumans, and that we have "a biological need 10 be pan
of a group." The rese.irch which supports these conclu
lion, could go on for pages, going back to Peter
Kropotkin and funher. but it's probably be.~1 just 10 think
Jbout it: humans crave companionship, voluntnry co
q,eration and mutual aid. Humans always will crave
lhcse things. The only question is how we shape our
desires, and what kind of communities we create for our
JClvts. This is why the first pan of this essay is devoted
iodealing with the naws in mainstream community eth
~s. Our challenge is 10 figure out how to shape our
111na1edesire for community into a practical, livable al
tcrna1ive. Let us stan with some wishful thinking.
Tht Ideal Goal
As Kirkpatrick Sale has argued persuasively, many
of the social maladies that afHict ours and other nations
"'simply a result or size and the inefficiency which
11COmpanies a system out of touch with itselr. Sale's
,rguments arc most eloquently laid out in his 1980 mag
MUii opus, f/11111011 Scale, and his analyses fill in nicely
!he points thal mainstream communitarians leave out.
11,ere is no substitute for reading Sale's original
work, especially not a two-page newspaper anicle, so I
woo'1 auempt to restate his theses here. I do highly rec
oa,mend the book, or course, and choose 10 identify two
illtmes which might help show what I mean by a pro
jltSSive community ethic.
A community should be of manageable size. It is
wcinating to discover that our huge metropolitan cit•
ics, and their lack of neighborhood cohesion. are a rela
n1tly recent phenomenon from an anthropological per
spective. Dubos points out that during the past 10,000
)CIIS. most people have lived in villages of some 500
iobabitants." This is more than coincidence. Urban plan-soned that "our stride determines and measures our space
and Lime-conception ... Organic planning has to deal wioth
the human scalc ... whcn shaping any physical structure. Vio
lation or the human scale will cause funhcr degeneration
of life in ciLies."
Gropius, too, assumed the walking distance principle
of one-half mile, and planned his deal "garden city" to con
tain-get this-5,000 to 8,000 people.
Sale provides extraordinary documentation of this
principle, including present-day examples of successful
human scale living. Obviously, this transformation is some
thing to strive for over the long-term, as a somewhat utO•
pian goal. Yet it is not ut.opian in the sense that ii is impmc•
ticnl: Sole points out that the United States could even make\
the transition n;11ionwide, by dividing "the present (1980]
population into some 45,000 separate communities of
roughly 5.000 each. give each one as much as a mile 10
spread out on, plus a greenbelt of 15 square miles 10 sepa
rate it from neighboring towns. and use up only about
720.000 square miles-less than a fifth of the nation's
present area, less than half the amount currently given over
to cropland."
Second, communities should be self-sufficient and
autonomous from the state. Local decision-making only
matters if the paternal authority which 811.ioni seems to
endorse backs off. An economy or selr-sufficient commu•
nilies would go a great distance toward eliminating the
grow-or-die economy or the industrial era. In the long
term, self-sufficient communities might even diminish the
need for trade enough to stop such reprehensible trade agree
ments as GAIT.
Remember, however, that chis is a long-term vision.
This is nol to say lhat some minimal standard shouldn't be
set in the interim: After all. there is the transition 10 think
about.
The lnterim
We don't live in the idyllic end-state of utopian com•
munilies, nor are we close to that end-state at this point.
There are, though, concrete actions we can take now to as•
sist this transition while shaping a progressive community
vision. Herc are some tools for change.
Workplace Democracy. Political Scientist Robert
Dahl presents a principle which may seem like nothing more Economic Egalitarianism and restraint 011 TNCs.
Paradoxfoally, in order 10 rely less on the state in the long
term, we should derend ccnain government actions in the
near-term. Chomsky points out (noting all lhc while the
irony of an anarchist argument defendipg federal regula
lion) that all an1i-statis1 arguments fail to assume Lhe totali
tarian power or transnational corporations. which arc bound
by no democracy, by no check whatsoever-with the pos
sible and notable exception or federal regulation.
Progressives are, or course, loath to advocate government
action in any sense, knowing that its burcaucrncy mrely
produces any positive results. What we need 10 accept is
1ha1, though the rederal government may not be able 10 work
positive change in and of itselr. it can cenainly prevent 11ego-
1ivc change-the ravages or economy and ecology which
transnationnls wreak.
Ecological Co11sciousness. lt seems apparent to me
that the main consequence of United Stales industrialism
or at least, the one whose impacts will be seen first--will be
ecological. Communities should strive to be what Sale calls
"dwellers on the land" who exist in harmony with normal
ecological cycles. While it is true that not every commu
nity will be wholly ecological in nature, it is nearly certain
that human scale communities using human scale technolo
gies will necessarily have less impact than a national
economy. churning out greenhouse gases and industrial
pollutants.
These arc just a rew ideas. and limited space con
slrnints prevent an extended treatment or this complex sub
ject. I hope. however, for the progressive pres., 10 open
funhcr rreedialogueon the ideals or community to extrapo
late on what it means 10 be locally self-reliant. I funhcr
hope that progressives here, locally, as well as nationwide,
seriously question politicians who throw the word .. com
munity" about without caring about its larger implications.
A sense of place is too imponant 10 be lcfi in the hands or
bureaucrats. out or your hands and mine. NObiDAY

was u dream for the Pioneers and a nighL
mare for opponents. Starting his freshmnn
year, he finished sixth in tackles on ~,e squad
nfter only playing six of nine games due to
n knee injury. Six years earlier he had torn
his ACL, but was not aware of it. An MRI
revealed that he would need surgery at the
end of the season tn fix tl1c damaged liga
ment. The am11z.ing thing i~ 1hnt 1his w~is
discnvcred mid-sea~on, and he played the
Final tlircc game, wilh a heavy knee hrace.
Returning his sophomore year, the fear that
his knee was not thoroughly healed left a
question mark 10 ifhe would be able 10 play
at the sarnc Jovel. Cox answered with a sec
ond team AJl•League selection, leading the
Pioneers with I J 9 w.eklcs. All this while
playing next to two of the top linebackers
in 1he league, Jirn RJ)ufcner nod Marc Miller.
This scuson Cox once ogain led the c,rnngc
nod black In total tnckles with I 06. ea ming
first team All-League. He alS<> led the league
with 14 tackles for losses. With Roofcncr
and Miller grnduating this year, Co, will
step up as lhc leader for a defense that will
return only three starters. Cox looks al next
sc.ason wi1h a ,cam-oriented auilude.
"Ya, I need lo pick 11 up next year, but
nmJuSt me, cverybody,"Cox points out, "we
have a lot of good players who need 10 "get
priorities strnigh1 and s1cp il up/'
Never satislied wilh his performance.
he is always looking for a way 10 improve.
With an auiwde of conlidencc, he knows
what type of player he has the potential 10
be. He looks al conference honors as poli•
tics and won't be s:itisficd until he becomes
All-American. Already considered 10 be one
of the best players in the league. he is con
sumed with improving his play, making bet•
terreads. nol missing tackles and heuerpass
coverage. Don't be fooled into believing
that he plays fnr himself, however. Cox is
1hc consumrnmc team player who 1s inspired
by his fellow 1cnmmatcs nnd tJ,ose people
around him. An animnl on the field. Cox
cm Pio Top Ten
Top Ten reasons why the Pi.o
Log is better than LCTV
I 0. We actually report news.
9. Everybody know that 1hose in
volved in film or lilm production are
raging drug and alcohol addict;..
8. We can read.
7. Our staff can kick their
staff's ass.
6. Only student run media that
boasts 1wo graduates of Banks High
School.
5. Depiction of gangsters killing
Pioneer Log staff members is in poor
taste. Plus you don't mess with 1he
Pio-Log posse biatch.
4. Crimebeat ,md news briefs.
3. We are mortal enemies of
the Silver Fox.

I. Spons! Sport~! SporL~! (and of
course the ~ports eduor Kemp

intensity that
scares even his
own tcam-
males, He
rattles off
11ames of other
Pioneers who
he respects for
their "equal
desire to play,"
A matter of
fact he plays
for everybody
but himself It
is ·a rcsponsi•
bilityne pince.~
UfXln himself.
"I feel I
owe it to ev
erybody, those
who didn't gel
10 go any
where after
high school,"
says Cox.
Football
has not been
lhc only JOY he
ha, found at
LC. Gelling
uwny front
LA. where he
had to he
someone he
wnsn't and
"couldn't trust
anyone," has
abo added tCJ
his expenence. He reels thm he has nolh
ing 10 prove 10 anyone (olTlhe field) and he
can JUSI be himself. A psychology major,
he hopes to eventually work with kids, ei,
Lher as an elementary teacher or a high
school administrator. The possibility <1f
working wltl, tough kids tl1at are like he once
was is another route he is considering. He
credits the people he has met 01 LC with the
comfor1 he has found within himself.
"I nm nmazcd by the quality of people
here. You can have a level headed cotwer
s•t ion with someono and they don't try to impress you."
Enrlier I called Cox an "inspiration."
This is not because he came out of a rough
neighborhood to end up in a private school
in a nice part or Portland or that he hus u
hundred plus tackles. It is because of his
never say die altitude. his love of the spon
nnd lhose 11nportan1 10 him and his big heart.
The ability to move past his m,stakcs and
learn from them is something mnny fail LO
do. TI1osc are the reasons why Jeremy Cox
inspires us and we nrc lucky tO h,avc him ns
pan of the Pioneer community.
