Financial aid problems plague overseas students
cause "the end of 1he world," but it did cause her to lose
her loan and gave an undue amount of siress to many people
on 1he Russia Overseas Trip. by Kimberly Iopa
Students on the Fall Russia Program ran inlo many
unforeseen financial aid difficulties which resuhcd in one
person forfeiting a loan and nnolhcr losing her spring reg
istration.
lmpor1an1 documents were pul in campus boxes tha1
were pos1markcd one month aflcr deadlines. Losl loan pa
pers. wrong e-mail addresses. overlooked account transac
Iions, and limited and vague notices about accoun1 prob
lems coupled wi1h official denial of responsibili1y were all
contributing factors to the Russia overseas swdcnts' frus•
trotions. sian program. said that she called several rimes before her
trip and was told 1hat every1hing was set, so she lefl wi1h a
false sense of security. "We rely on the f'inancial Aid Of
fice to get us through all of the paperwork and lechnicali
ties as quickly and painlessly as possible and when they
say that your account is clear and everything is fine, you
d1ink that it is the definitive."
Elmore implied 1hat 1he situation was more complex.
"It's clear tha1 auendint to 1hc details of loan applications
and loan disbursements at'ier s1arting an overseas program
are much more complicated 1han taking care of them be·
fore you leave, and we sincerely try 10 stress that warning
as forcefully and frequently as we can,'' stated Elmore.
Veden admiis that her financial a.id pr<>blcms did nor 111c group fell Iha! they were given the run-around
many times wilh respect to 1heir account clearance. They
hope 1ha1 in the future the financial aid will work more with
Ille s1udents rather than against them and that the Financial
Aid services will be more Ihorough and organi2cd.
"We are continually look for ways to make the process
beuer, " says Elmore, and also working 10 improve com
municalion in the fuIure. While Elmore acknowledge thc
few dissatisfied cases. he poinls out that 1be majority of
Lewis & Clark students are content with Studenl Financial
Service's operations. "Even the constafll stress and pres
sure of Russian bureaucracy and life
could never have prepared us for the
imniense stress ... that the Financial
Aid Office continually threw at us,"
-Junior Kim Booher, Low number of PRB cases raises controversy
by Marni Bandley
participant on the Russia trip. Campus Life rocieved 88 incidenl reports during fall
term, only two of which were deah "Cith by Peer Review
Board. Peer Review Board has already rccievcd seven more
cases which ii will be handling in the next few weeks.
"Even the constant SU"CSS and pressure or Russian bu•
reaucracy and life could never have prepared us for the
immense stress, anxiety. and uncalled-for irrita1ion that the
Financial Aid Office con1inually threw a1 us," says Junior
Kim Booher. one participant on the Russia trip.
Director of Student Financial Services Ron Elmore
commented that 1hereare many circumstance.~ involved with
each individual case that they arc our of con1cx1 and should
be regarded with the overall issues,
"We 1ruly 1ry our best to accommodate students as we
-«>mply-with roo.:rnl regulations,·• said Elmore. 1.n general,
he felt that many of the rcpons from the s1udenLS were
"blown out or proportion."
Elm()re also stated 1hat many siudcn1s left for lheirtrips
with the folse impression that they had done everything they
needed 10 do m order 10 l'"Y for the term's charges.
Members of Ihc Russia overseas gmup thought !hey
had diligcn1ly filled our all of the required forms and had
done rnkcn :ill of the precautions necessary 10 prepare for
their trip, bul even before they len there were misundcr
sinndings hctween the students and Financial Aid Office.
Booher commcnttd that .. n~vcr before have we ever
witnessed a grnup uf people who were more confused by
Ihelr own proc,.'dures ... It w,~~ as if no one ever goes on
Lowis & Clark Oversea~ PmgrJms."
Junior Mnry Lynn Vcden. another st11dcn1 on 1he Rus-Both cases from las1 1errn dealt with student conduct
occurring ou1side the residence halls.
As described in the S1udenI Code of Conduct, PRB
should also deal with "niat1ers of more serious or mulliplc
student conduct violaLions ...
Members of the Board, including Chier Jusricc Narhan
Hobbs, have expressed concerns 1ha1 PRB did no1 deal with
more of the serious cases which arose last semester.
"If PRB isn't going 10 gel
any1hing bu1 thl.'sc cases lhcn
there i~ no poinc in having one."
PRB Member David Sever.;on
said. Hobbs declined 10 comment
al lhis time.
Dean of SIudents Michael
Ford dealt dircc1ly wilh four
cases. These were immediate
concerns or heahh and safely is
sue.,, Ford stoled.
His handling of one case
which rcsulled in a stuclcni being
evicted from the residence halls
was seriously questioned. (sec

What really makes this movie a great film ruther 1han
just u good one is its excellent casl. Harrelson has been
slowly but surely establishing himself as a powerful and
cffec1ivc actor. II takes a good actor to get the audience 10
believe in the Constitulionnl rhetoric that Harrelson issues
111 the drop of o haL Combine that wi1h Ht1rrclsons comic
talent, a.~ 1hc script allows Harrelson some ironic, inlelli•
gen!, humor. Norton (who made his Hollywood debut in
Primal Fearn year ago} has quickly established himself ,is
one of the most promising young actors in Hollywood.
The greatest pcrformtrnt.:-c in the film comes rrom
Counncy Love. a controversial figure herscl r. I predict she
is headed towards an Academy Award nomination. Her
emotionally overwhelming perfornrnncc gives chills
throughout, especially near the end as she slowly destroys
herself while her loving husband tries to find himself.
This movie could have easily fallen into n 1rnp of f11-
cusingon a guy who is in the skin business. but Lhc movie's
creators realize Larry Flynt rcprcscn1s more rhon 1hu1.

Accompanying the dancing arc the sounds of live tra
iiooal Celtic music from Portland natives High Road.

Chnuers said Ceili dancing ho., been historically very popu
lar at LC. Lo.<1 year. the event drew u crowd of about 150
people. This Friday. Chaners expects 10 see an even lnrger
crowd than in years past.

says.

When is too many, too many?
By Alicia Gilbert
Every semester as we enter new classes, it seems 1hal
there arc more people in 1hem. to the point where I wonder
whether or no1 I nm in a state schoc)I. Intro. lO science classes
nrc becoming a joke because they have I<> ndd desks 10 roo,ns
with scaling for a hundred, psychology classes have wail
ing lists that start the day artcr rcgisu-:.nion for the follow
ing year, and you will be lucky to get into a graduation
requirement art clus.'i as a ~ccond semester senior. So why
nil the prohlcms with geuing into the classes you need'!
One answer: Diversity. We are gening the variety of
classes expected nl a small liberal nns school, but not the
number of cl:isscs 1ha1 everyone wants or needs. Classes
1ha1 fulfill one or more of the graduation requirements arc
filling up und leaving other student~ in a bind LO gr:1duatc
0111irnc.
Students here m LC deserve what they pay for: a small
liberal arts school with n matching classroom setting. This is no1 a srnte sch<X,1 where lOO stuc.lcn1s is roulinc or aver•
uge. fl seems 10 be a no-win situation for students because
they wanl 10 get into the classes but also want 10 keep them
small. h doesn't work ~,is way, though. II is usually one or
the other, and people on both ends of the deal seem 10 be
losing. Also, looking beyond the students, professors teach
al a college like this to internet with their students both in
nnd out of closs. Proressors are losing out because classes
that need 10 be small in order 10 be productive arc being
expanded 10 include more people than ever hcfore.
·n,e answer: more routine cla.~scs and less diversity.
Well ... then you miss out on those unique once-in-a-lifo
timc opportunities like Hellenistic Greek and Social Con
struction or Madness. On the other hand. your Bio I 00 class
could be 50 people instead or 100. But is this really the
answer'/ Well ... I don '1 have the answer but with s1udcn1
input nntl interest. I am sure LC could find a way 10 deal
wl(h the problem!
What will I tell my brother about Newt Gingrich?
By Be11jami11 J. flarftt
"Why Ben'!" my brother asks me.
Soon, I will have lo answer this dil'fi
cull question and I already hove my answer
prepared. When my younger brother asks
me why the House of Representatives
elected n Speaker who was being investi
gated for numerous offenses, including ly
ing 10 Congress and tax violations. and then,
ancr they elected him. why they "repri•
mandcd" him (which means nothing) and
then asked him to pay a S300,000 fine. They
didn't even specify where the money had lo
come from. "Why Ben'?" he'll ask.
Actually, I don't worry about my
brother; he ·s sman enough 10 see 1ha1 lust
for power triumphed Qver the pursuit of
truth. I worry ahou1 some of my brother's
peers who won't even blink al whm has tnm•
spired, and this should make us even an
grier than the fact 1hal a man who knew bet•
tcrconspired lo defraud the rnx sys1.em, lied to the body he is lhe head of (a legislative
body that is one or the essential organs of
our country), and lied w Congress nol once,
not twice, but three times (al last count). We
should be appalled 1ha1 the.se kids, our fu•
ture. won't even qucslion why Ncwl
Gingrich was elected. They won '1 ask-nol
because they have no morals, but because
they have learned from an early age 1h01
politicions lie, 1ha1 politicians will say one
thing and do the other, that they will do any
thing 10 stay in orficc, 10 keep their pany on
1op.
In 1994 the Republicans Jed by New!
Gingrich 100k both the House and Senate
wi1h the help or the Christian Co~lhfon and
Gingrich's personal PAC. Go-PAC. They
were going lo change an America that was
(in their opinion) in need of serious moral
leadership, Our kids were in trouble, they
lacked a moral compass. and the valuc•s or
personal and social responsibility were ab-sent. they said. Now. most of those self-pro•
claimed moral guardians have gone against
the vulues we hold as a natiort--the values
they cloakc.d themselves in on their way 10
power. Now, 10 hold onto 1ht11 power, they
have shed their mornl cloak and have re
vealed theirtruccolors. "Charac1crcoun1s."
to echo their mantra. but vendeua'! No, and the Republicans shool!
either show that they are the pany of p«·
sonal responsibility and character that 1k)
say ,hey are, or they should admit that they
aren't the party of those core values ond
admit that they have instead beconic dv
pany of power at any price. They won't
though. because dx
judging from their re
cent performance, 10
House Republicans

for much. What counts
10 them is power, so in

Rllbach's love of basketball has equalled success at LC

Coming b:,ck from Australia, Fillbach leh refreshed
and excited 10 play the game again. Being the only senior
on the team, Fillbach entered the year with o great amount
of confidence and experience. This year she again leads
the team in sCbring, with 12.8
points per game and has lead the
l-tth111 all four years, and as she
d<ltribcs it ... basketball was life".

10Uld, play basketball at tl1c next level.

Fillbach's main goal in playing basketball is 10 have

with a loss by the former No. I team, Bethel

tory thnt the basketball team had stood atop
a national poll. On the day that they rose to
the lop ranking, the Pioneers easily beat their
next opponent, George Fox University, and
extended their record to a perfect 11-0. Af
ter this victory, the team looked forward to
playing their first game a., the top-ranked
team in front of their hometown crowd at
Pamplin againsl the Linficld Wildcats.
The players were noticeably excited by
1he pre-game celebration, and perhaps this
excitement may have worked against LC.
as they came out Oai against the Wildcats
(3-8). Linficld, motiva1ed 10 knock off the
top ranked Pioneers, capitalized poor 1st hnlf shooting by LC to open up an early 33-

This celebration would prove short•

going on n 14-6 run over the next live min

would once again be cut to one, 70-69. with
tough defense by the Pioneers. But LC

all Pioneers with 18 points and 11 boards.
The following night L,.C hosted the

they took the coun with a much more fo

cause "the end of 1he world," but it did cause her to lose
her loan and gave an undue amount of siress to many people
on 1he Russia Overseas Trip. by Kimberly Iopa
Students on the Fall Russia Program ran inlo many
unforeseen financial aid difficulties which resuhcd in one
person forfeiting a loan and nnolhcr losing her spring reg
istration.
lmpor1an1 documents were pul in campus boxes tha1
were pos1markcd one month aflcr deadlines. Losl loan pa
pers. wrong e-mail addresses. overlooked account transac
Iions, and limited and vague notices about accoun1 prob
lems coupled wi1h official denial of responsibili1y were all
contributing factors to the Russia overseas swdcnts' frus•
trotions. sian program. said that she called several rimes before her
trip and was told 1hat every1hing was set, so she lefl wi1h a
false sense of security. "We rely on the f'inancial Aid Of
fice to get us through all of the paperwork and lechnicali
ties as quickly and painlessly as possible and when they
say that your account is clear and everything is fine, you
d1ink that it is the definitive."
Elmore implied 1hat 1he situation was more complex.
"It's clear tha1 auendint to 1hc details of loan applications
and loan disbursements at'ier s1arting an overseas program
are much more complicated 1han taking care of them be·
fore you leave, and we sincerely try 10 stress that warning
as forcefully and frequently as we can,'' stated Elmore.
Veden admiis that her financial a.id pr<>blcms did nor 111c group fell Iha! they were given the run-around
many times wilh respect to 1heir account clearance. They
hope 1ha1 in the future the financial aid will work more with
Ille s1udents rather than against them and that the Financial
Aid services will be more Ihorough and organi2cd.
"We are continually look for ways to make the process
beuer, " says Elmore, and also working 10 improve com
municalion in the fuIure. While Elmore acknowledge thc
few dissatisfied cases. he poinls out that 1be majority of
Lewis & Clark students are content with Studenl Financial
Service's operations. "Even the constafll stress and pres
sure of Russian bureaucracy and life
could never have prepared us for the
imniense stress ... that the Financial
Aid Office continually threw at us,"
-Junior Kim Booher, Low number of PRB cases raises controversy
by Marni Bandley
participant on the Russia trip. Campus Life rocieved 88 incidenl reports during fall
term, only two of which were deah "Cith by Peer Review
Board. Peer Review Board has already rccievcd seven more
cases which ii will be handling in the next few weeks.
"Even the constant SU"CSS and pressure or Russian bu•
reaucracy and life could never have prepared us for the
immense stress, anxiety. and uncalled-for irrita1ion that the
Financial Aid Office con1inually threw a1 us," says Junior
Kim Booher. one participant on the Russia trip.
Director of Student Financial Services Ron Elmore
commented that 1hereare many circumstance.~ involved with
each individual case that they arc our of con1cx1 and should
be regarded with the overall issues,
"We 1ruly 1ry our best to accommodate students as we
-«>mply-with roo.:rnl regulations,·• said Elmore. 1.n general,
he felt that many of the rcpons from the s1udenLS were
"blown out or proportion."
Elm()re also stated 1hat many siudcn1s left for lheirtrips
with the folse impression that they had done everything they
needed 10 do m order 10 l'"Y for the term's charges.
Members of Ihc Russia overseas gmup thought !hey
had diligcn1ly filled our all of the required forms and had
done rnkcn :ill of the precautions necessary 10 prepare for
their trip, bul even before they len there were misundcr
sinndings hctween the students and Financial Aid Office.
Booher commcnttd that .. n~vcr before have we ever
witnessed a grnup uf people who were more confused by
Ihelr own proc,.'dures ... It w,~~ as if no one ever goes on
Lowis & Clark Oversea~ PmgrJms."
Junior Mnry Lynn Vcden. another st11dcn1 on 1he Rus-Both cases from las1 1errn dealt with student conduct
occurring ou1side the residence halls.
As described in the S1udenI Code of Conduct, PRB
should also deal with "niat1ers of more serious or mulliplc
student conduct violaLions ...
Members of the Board, including Chier Jusricc Narhan
Hobbs, have expressed concerns 1ha1 PRB did no1 deal with
more of the serious cases which arose last semester.
"If PRB isn't going 10 gel
any1hing bu1 thl.'sc cases lhcn
there i~ no poinc in having one."
PRB Member David Sever.;on
said. Hobbs declined 10 comment
al lhis time.
Dean of SIudents Michael
Ford dealt dircc1ly wilh four
cases. These were immediate
concerns or heahh and safely is
sue.,, Ford stoled.
His handling of one case
which rcsulled in a stuclcni being

What really makes this movie a great film ruther 1han
just u good one is its excellent casl. Harrelson has been

one of the most promising young actors in Hollywood.
The greatest pcrformtrnt.:-c in the film comes rrom
Counncy Love. a controversial figure herscl r. I predict she
is headed towards an Academy Award nomination. Her
emotionally overwhelming perfornrnncc gives chills

Ccili is one or the older fom1s or Irish dance. Some
llllces involve groups of people, others involve couples.
ill<vtryonc is welcome. Most of the dances involve syn•
aoniied movements that arc similar 10 those of modem
ll"'P dance. such as country line duncing. Dancers are
111gh1 numerous dance steps throughout the evening. so
l'l"cxpcricncc is not necessary.
Accompanying the dancing arc the sounds of live tra
iiooal Celtic music from Portland natives High Road.
Students Organized For Activities (SOFA), the student
poup responsible for this free event, has made Ccili danc-ing somewhat of a 1n1di1ion at LC. SOFA director fake
Chnuers said Ceili dancing ho., been historically very popu
lar at LC. Lo.<1 year. the event drew u crowd of about 150
people. This Friday. Chaners expects 10 see an even lnrger
crowd than in years past.
Lewis & Clark is not the only place 10 practice the rut
of Ceili dancing. The Portland Police Athletic Associ.llion
sponsors Ceili dancing the third Friday or every month at

Sourek hopes 10 bring her personal view 10 the
discussion on campus. but also 10 talk about the changing
nature of leadership. "I think that leadership is constantly
evolving and changing. A view 1ha1 someone has now
will change over time. There's no one ethic that a person
will have and be known for. h's in nux over time," she
says.
Sourek also wants 10 talk about "how you in0ucnce

When is too many, too many?
By Alicia Gilbert
Every semester as we enter new classes, it seems 1hal
there arc more people in 1hem. to the point where I wonder
whether or no1 I nm in a state schoc)I. Intro. lO science classes
nrc becoming a joke because they have I<> ndd desks 10 roo,ns
with scaling for a hundred, psychology classes have wail
ing lists that start the day artcr rcgisu-:.nion for the follow
ing year, and you will be lucky to get into a graduation
requirement art clus.'i as a ~ccond semester senior. So why
nil the prohlcms with geuing into the classes you need'!
One answer: Diversity. We are gening the variety of
classes expected nl a small liberal nns school, but not the
number of cl:isscs 1ha1 everyone wants or needs. Classes
1ha1 fulfill one or more of the graduation requirements arc
filling up und leaving other student~ in a bind LO gr:1duatc
0111irnc.
Students here m LC deserve what they pay for: a small
liberal arts school with n matching classroom setting. This is no1 a srnte sch<X,1 where lOO stuc.lcn1s is roulinc or aver•
uge. fl seems 10 be a no-win situation for students because
they wanl 10 get into the classes but also want 10 keep them
small. h doesn't work ~,is way, though. II is usually one or
the other, and people on both ends of the deal seem 10 be
losing. Also, looking beyond the students, professors teach
al a college like this to internet with their students both in
nnd out of closs. Proressors are losing out because classes
that need 10 be small in order 10 be productive arc being
expanded 10 include more people than ever hcfore.
·n,e answer: more routine cla.~scs and less diversity.
Well ... then you miss out on those unique once-in-a-lifo
timc opportunities like Hellenistic Greek and Social Con
struction or Madness. On the other hand. your Bio I 00 class
could be 50 people instead or 100. But is this really the
answer'/ Well ... I don '1 have the answer but with s1udcn1
input nntl interest. I am sure LC could find a way 10 deal
wl(h the problem!
What will I tell my brother about Newt Gingrich?
By Be11jami11 J. flarftt
"Why Ben'!" my brother asks me.
Soon, I will have lo answer this dil'fi
cull question and I already hove my answer
prepared. When my younger brother asks
me why the House of Representatives
elected n Speaker who was being investi
gated for numerous offenses, including ly
ing 10 Congress and tax violations. and then,
ancr they elected him. why they "repri•
mandcd" him (which means nothing) and
then asked him to pay a S300,000 fine. They
didn't even specify where the money had lo
come from. "Why Ben'?" he'll ask.
Actually, I don't worry about my
brother; he ·s sman enough 10 see 1ha1 lust
for power triumphed Qver the pursuit of
truth. I worry ahou1 some of my brother's
peers who won't even blink al whm has tnm•
spired, and this should make us even an
grier than the fact 1hal a man who knew bet•
tcrconspired lo defraud the rnx sys1.em, lied to the body he is lhe head of (a legislative
body that is one or the essential organs of
our country), and lied w Congress nol once,
not twice, but three times (al last count). We
should be appalled 1ha1 the.se kids, our fu•
ture. won't even qucslion why Ncwl
Gingrich was elected. They won '1 ask-nol
because they have no morals, but because
they have learned from an early age 1h01
politicions lie, 1ha1 politicians will say one
thing and do the other, that they will do any
thing 10 stay in orficc, 10 keep their pany on
1op.
In 1994 the Republicans Jed by New!
Gingrich 100k both the House and Senate
wi1h the help or the Christian Co~lhfon and
Gingrich's personal PAC. Go-PAC. They
were going lo change an America that was
(in their opinion) in need of serious moral
leadership, Our kids were in trouble, they
lacked a moral compass. and the valuc•s or
personal and social responsibility were ab-sent. they said. Now. most of those self-pro•
claimed moral guardians have gone against
the vulues we hold as a natiort--the values
they cloakc.d themselves in on their way 10
power. Now, 10 hold onto 1ht11 power, they
have shed their mornl cloak and have re
vealed theirtruccolors. "Charac1crcoun1s."
to echo their mantra. but vendeua'! No, and the Republicans shool!
either show that they are the pany of p«·
sonal responsibility and character that 1k)
say ,hey are, or they should admit that they
aren't the party of those core values ond
admit that they have instead beconic dv
pany of power at any price. They won't
though. because dx
judging from their re
cent performance, 10
House Republicans
characcer docsn ·, count
for much. What counts
10 them is power, so in
stead of doing the right
thing, they covered their "The self-appointed
guardians of American
morality have shown 1heir
lack thereof " setr-appoin1cd guiri
ians of Americanfl'II>

their lack thereorani
have betrayed IM!I
Republicans wholli-
1ually practiced th<
bases, Worse yet, they have their majority
whip calling the actions against Gingrich a
mean-spirited panisan vendeua. Who forced
Gingrich 10 lie 10 Congre.ss? Who forced him
10 allegedly violate lax laws-the Demo
crats in some son or mean spirited partisan moral code llmuhq
preached (such as Linda Smill1). Finally lh:y
have betrayed my brother and the future II/
