1hc Willameuc River, on the semes1er's firsi

Hilla,y Chem.an,
Crew Team Coach
AM after the man jumped off the Burnside
Bridge in down1own Portland.
The LC team had 1wo 50 fool, 9 person
boalS on the water. accompanied by one
motorized launch.
Approximmely halfway 1hough 1he
practice as the expcncnccd women's crew
boat passed under the Burnside bridge. a
middle aged. medium built Latino man
jumped from ,uop the structure into 1he wa
ter. nol 20 yards from 1hc ht)lll.
Coxswain Michael Fein heard tho
splash and related that he "knew right uway
someone had jumped."
Reacting quickly. Fein slopped the boal
• little ways off and slnr1ed 10 tum around.
"For ubout ten seconds we were
s1unncd ... 1hen I started to turn the hom."
"The whole experience was preuy sur•
real. I rncan with the sun jus1 coming up,
clear sky, and it being quicl, 1hen a big
splash. h wrLs jusl odd," Fein said.
Meanwhile, the novice women's boat
pulled up next 10 the man who was visibly
floundering in the cold Willameue Oow. and
inquired if lhe man was okay.
There was no response. The man wcn1
under the water repca1cdly so a11imes only his hand was showing.
Then 1hc launch witl1 Coaches Judah
Sussman and Hillruy Ghcmon, accompanied
by Sussnun's visiting sister. arrived.
Gheman and Sussman reached in :md ex
lracted lhc .submerged figure from tho
depths.
Ghcman said she wi.L<; not aware al firs1
1hat s,1111eonc had jumped off the bridge bu1
once Fein called out. 1he launch responded
quickly. "I only saw his head above 1he
waier and he was going down ... really
drowning," Ghemnn said la1cr.
Af1cr securing the mun 1111he boat and
covering him with :m emergency blnnkc,.
1hc coaches meed back 10 the boa1 house
near the Fremont Bridge and no1ified the
authorities.
They >I ripped 1he man and covered him
in 3 blanket, wnnning him with hotly heat
un1il the EMTs arrived.
Sussman related la1cr 1ha1 nhhough he
had training for 1hcse situaiions. "The
adrenaline w,is really pumping." n,c EMTs
arrh•ctl five minuh:s later at lhc wrong exit.
Sussman n1ccd over to where they were
and rerouted them to the boathouse where
they 100k the man into a wai1ing ambulance,
and off to the hospital.
No mo1ivcs for the inciden1 were dis~
covered and upon inquiry 10 the Portland
Police this reporter's calls were nol retumcd.
Known facts nbou1 1he cHse include 1ha1
the man had no shoes on 3nd thnt there was
another figure on the bridge when he
jumped.
Possible mmives remain unknown.
Suicide seems unlikely, so cilhcr a fight or
flight from an incidenl appear,; 10 be more
plausible.

Several " ... ologis1s" associated with the Forest Service
arc participating in meetings during 1hc week of February
23-28. concerning burning prescriptions in Forest Service
Wilderness Arca.~.
"As a result of progressive fire fighting ... fire, ecologi
cally, hos played a significant role in eliminating compet
ing spccies ... some species arc now out of balance," Thom
Corcoran, Pub I ic Affairs representative for the. Forest Ser ..
vice, said.
The Forest Service is nol allowed by law 10 do any
thing with fire in pristine Wilderness areas except to con•
rain and snuff them 001; they can only create prescriptions
10 decide how to deal with them before a lire starts. Their
main concern is maintaining a natural ecological balance
and keeping fire from leaving Lhe Wilderness area and de
stroying things outside of the boundary.
"!The overarching Forest Service. prescription] used
to be • define it, contain it. control it ... now we are very
careful about the risk assessment we don on these things,"
Corcoran said.
This week's meetings arc planned 10 help each region
update the previous prescriptions to help them meet the
current nnd changing weather patterns.

Added 10 the motion was 1ha1 ASLC will :Lssumc equal

eral Allocations Board. The motion passed unanimously.
(sec article. "3.000 goes to concert" on page t of this week's
Pioneer [..og) the changes in burning controls·!
One reason is 1ha1 the campus OSPlRG chapter is
happy with the progr0-,si ve course that the Forest Service.
is taking in dealing wilh controlling fires in Lhe Wilder
ness Areas.
"We're not really doing anything on controlled burn
ing this year," Suzie Williamson, OSPfRG intern, said.
"II seems like the changes they are making arc good, but
if anythingcon1rovcrsinl comes up, I'm sureOSPIRG will
be on ii."
Another reason why LC students arc interested is be
cause there is the chance for them to learn something about
LC's Forest Service regional office prescriptions.
"If i1 go1 10 1hc point 1ha1 somcb<><ly wanted 10 talk
abou11heir favorite Wilderness Arca. they can call Ihcirre

Na, alllcar, Ulll'I 11111 IIICINIII, tr1 pat
Dc(lr£di1or,
A recent concern has been rniscd about
1hc cffcc1ivcncss of Lewis & Clark's drug
and alcohol policy. I have 10 wonder if Resi
dence Life is sincerely i111cres1cd in reduc
ing drug and alcohol usage or ir they arc
merely concerned with bad publicity. In 1he
instance 1h::it residence lire seriously desires
a rcduclion in drug and alcohol policy vio
lations, I would like 10 share my p<:rcep1ion
or the situation. Arcus requiring aucntion.
in my opinion, include rolicy enforcement
and pol icy enforcers.
As for as policy enforcers go. for 1hc
mos1 pars we nrc in go,>d shape. One sug
gcs1ion 1. propose is a miuidmory drug 1cs1
for RAs (I d<>n 't 1hink any cl3bora1ion is nec
essary). A second issue 1hat has come to my
aucntion i:-a lack of communicu1ion bc-
1wcen Residence Life and Campus Safo1y
concerning uction rnkl!n ngninst policy or.
fenders. It has bccn asserted 1hat Campus
Sttfcty is nol :tlw:tys informed about disd
plinary procedure, imposed upon policy of-fcndc-rs and without Lhis information cam
pus safety cannot handle repeat violations
in 1he proper manner.
Currently, as stoled in 1he February 14
/'i(}11eer u,g nrticle. •·Ford ready to combat
drug use," "!here's no perception 1hat LC is
trying to prevent drug and alcohol use." This
blindness is o direct result of unprcdic1able
consequences imposed upon policy "iol:i
tors. lnconsis.tenc.ies only provoke crilicism
and scrutiny agains1 I.he administration-as
we saw wi1h lhe Keith Bcmhnrclt case (Pio-
11eer llJg. 11 n21%). Another example is the
new candle and incense policy; anyone
caugh1 with cand1C$ or incense is subjected
10 a$50 tone. but no ~uch line exists for 1hose
who wish 10 violate smoking, drug. or alco
hol policies. To establish a respect for policy
among students. Campus Lifo must imple
ment a consistent enforcement strategy with
:mthoritative penalties. I appreciate 1he nex
ibility or our curren1 system but it leads to
too much confusion. First.time ,1iolntors
must receive some punishrnen1 in order 10 gr:i.sp the no1ion that this
campus is serious about
its policies, Subsequent
violmions ncccssiuue in
creasingly serious pen
alties. The Code of Con
duct sets up various ju
dicial bodies, including
1he Peer and College
Review Boards. bu1 it
docsn'1 explici1ly clesfg
nate jurisdiction or cri
teria for who.t cases
these bodies will handle.
Once unwavering poli-!
cies and penal des are e.~-::
' tablishcd, drug and alco-
hol policies may be
tnken more seriously.
This campus has ~1 ' \ I

Unions •110, lhaddy work
1'o the Editor:
Ben Harfs1 must have never worked in
u union scuing before. because he shows
li1tle understandini; of the downsides of
il'nions. Bluntly. the seniority system of
unions fosters ~in ntmosphere in which work
ers arc rewarded for s1aying with the same
job. regardless or whether they arc improv
ing and sometimes regardless of whether or
not lhty arc even helping the company more
than hurting it.
Fur1hcm1ore, union workers do no1 al
ways produce 1he bcsl qualily products.
Often union workers arc working simply
because the mies in place prevent 1hc t:orn-
pnny from firing union employees. This sys•
tem thus orten ~ncourages poor work. Sten.l
ing. and leads to a higher price for 1he con
sumer since non-perfonn:mce-based pay
raises and legal fees also add t0 the cost for
a company employing union workers. This
cos1 is. of course. passed on to the consumer.
This isn't to say I don't support labor
unions, I just question their relevancy 1hcsc
days. I've worked for unions berore and
what I noticed is that new workers were s1uck with ou1rageous foes and that many
of lhc w.nior workers were nclunlly less pro-
ductivc 1h:m the newer workers while be~
ing, paid twice the wages. Nol cxnclly tht.·
rosy picture Mr. Hnrfst paints.
TI,e sad Lhing is. unions can be good.
have been good in the past. I jus1 qucslion
their relevancy today as well ns their effec
tiveness. More importantly I qucstlo,1 your
assertion that union~ arc good for America.
They were. hack when 1hcy were ac1ive.
changing heinous practices like child l:ibor.
clc. Bui these days unions don'1 light the
big fights. ins1ead they bloat the unionized
American work force and help to add to th<
price or consumer goods. In some cases
unions may even indirec1ly cost Am4!ricnns
their jobs (wilne-<s NAFTA).
Tiia1 said. I still think unibns ha\'c their
pince, but thcy'"c become complacent. If
you want 10 supporl unioris don'1 do so
blindly. Instead, ask yourself wh:n good
unions do and suppon them in these endeav
ors. but seriously ask yourself wha1 had 1bey
do and question them in kind.

Amid considerable laughter, applause and jeering. 1wo
or America ·s noted public figures s1oocl underthc hot stage
lights of 1he Arlene Schni11.er auditorium lasl week 10 de•
bate the hotly con1es1ed issue of the trade-Qff between en
vironment and economy. Environmental Jawycr (and in~
heritor of a family legacy of public service) Robcn F.
Kennedy. Jr .. and the most notorious vice-president of re
cent years. J. Danforth Quayle. met in Pon land 1ocon1inuc
the tradition of the Tom McCall Forum sponsored by Pa
cific University. 11,c debate stayed c)Qse 10 mainstream
Republican and Democratic views on ·'Striking the Bal
uncc: The E~onomy ~nd The Environment," wi1h occa~ional
panisan jabs 10 keep things moving along.
Kennedy has used h,s inhented fortune 10 become a pas•
sionaie and knowledgeable cnvironmcnml lawyer. He ar
gued 1ha1 allowing corporations to us,: up resources and
pollute the environment a1 the public expense 1s equ1valcn1
10 a governmcnl subsidy of those corporations. and said
th:n having corporations .shoulder lhc coslS of their aclions
in a true market system would lead directly 10 a clean envi
ronment to be passed on to our children.
Quayle spoke from his role as a perennial Republican
presidential hopeful. endorsing individual rights against the
tyr-"nny of environmental low, and said that environmental
pro1ccIion would be impossible wi1hou1 first building a
strong economy. He championed Amcric~, as a nncion of
ideas and moral purpose and was optimistic about its abil
ity 10 find solutions 10 our many environmental problems.
He claimed his primary concerns were pro1cc1ion of pri
vate property and :t good grounding in "common sense"
nnd sound science. as opposed lO the "tabloid" variety 1ha1
made sensationalist claims und apocalyptic warnings.
801h speakers 100k fifleen minutes to make their ca.~.
before fielding questions from a panel of professors and
students and finally. from 1hc audience.
Kennedy has buill ~ ,arccr as ltn environmental law
yer. and currently works for the Hudson Rivcrkeeper. a
coalition or lishcrrncn and recreational users who patrol
the Hudson River and sue polluters. Last year he w:,s sent
10 Washington 10 lobby against "supermnnda1cs" built in10
the Contract for America. which would have nullified swaths
of existing cnvirc)nmcnrnl legislation without the inconve
nience of repealing individual laws. He says 1hese bills,
which President Clinton refused 1osign. would havcguucd
lhc Clean Water Act, lhc Endangered Species act and 1hc
re-sl of 1hc 19 major national environmental laws. in order
lO create n climu1e bcucr suited to corporations.
Kennedy went on lO address a clu:;ter of environmental
topics. He dismissed 1hc notion thm the time has come to
choose bc.1wecn the environment and 1he economy. "ln cv•
cry case good environmental policy is identical 10 good eco
nomic policy if we want to measure 1hc economy on the
jobs created and the dignity of the jobs;· he said. He added
1hnt wcc:an'I 1rca1 thccanh like:, "company in liquidation.''
Kennedy said thnl countries without environmental
lnws invariably end up whh economic disasters. Russia'~
Aral Sea has become a bio waste site, n liflh c1f Bclorus is
permnnemly uninhabirnblc from radiation from Chernobyl.
citizens or Indonesia hnvc suffered an average loss or 7
points from their lQ from lead in the air, and Mexico City
has cu ban cars half the time and shuL down industries when
wcnther pllllcrns lock pollution in over the city. All of these
nrc cx-amplcs of cnvironmcnrnl Ihm damages publicly held resources, the company can
profit a1 the expense or the public. Kennedy considers bmh
of these forms of government subsidy or outright 1heft by
corporations from the public, and says that when 1he true
costs arc factored in1 companies will hnvc i.J1c same incen•
tivc as the public 10 protect the environment.
Kennedy also tried 10 dispel any idea that he wants 10
put 1he environment ahead of people ·s concerns. "TI1c rea
son we protcc1 nmure i~ for our sake. for wha1 it can do ror
us" he said, "I don't wnn1 my children 10 grow up in a world
where lhcrc arc no commcrdul rish•
cmtcn and no fom,s." He also sees "Come on!" Quayle responded, declaring wetland ar
eas devalues property, imd '"thnt is not
an ~lllack on government. That's an
nature as a connection to God. nnd as
an irreplaceable source of creativity.
Quayle's environmental ethic
seemed somewhat more pQli1ically
based and less thoroughly educated
or personally thought-out than
Kennedy's. He said thnt no one wants
10 choose between 1hc economy and
che environment and said that we can
have both. However, he called for "If we don't give io our
children something close to
what we got, we're going to
have some very difficulr
questions to a11swe1: "
-Robert F. Kennedy, J1: amick on people." "People care deeply
nbout the environment." he said.
"Why do11·1 wc JUSl trust people a Ii Ille
more'/" As an example he gave Ducks
Unlimited, which has voluniarily pul
aside 50,000 acres of wetland.
Kennedy went on 10 endorse re•
ducing the defense budget l<I pay for
environmental improvements. ban•
finding lhe most efficient way to pro-
tect the environment while leaving the: economy room to
grow. If lhc U.S. economy had grown by 1 % less for each
of 1he last I 00 years, Quayle said, ii would now be one•
1hird or its current size-the same size as Mexico's.
Quayle began with a call for bipanisan consensus. "Al
this time we don '1 need more polariwJion. We need con
sensus," he said, and coun~led against bringing in extremes
or inOamma1ion. Quayle said 1ha1 afier 1he postwar indus
trial boom. a bipanisan consensus emerged in the '60s and
'70s that we needed 10 protect the environment, and al 1haI
1ime President Nixon sci up the EPA.
Quayle buih his environmental goals on lhe ba.~is of
live principles: the principles of Freedom, pro1ee1ion of con•
sti1utional ·rights. common sense, good science and Oex•
ibilily. He defined freedom as 1hc freedom 10 breathe clean
air and drink clean wmer. as well us 10 let people find !heir
own way IO meet environmental stnnd:uds when the gov
ernment sets them. lie also endorsed the freedom 10 hnve
polluters pay for cleanups. not 1hc general public. a call
Iha1 came back 10 haunt him later in the debate.
Quayle's main argument came on lhc basis of keeping
the government from taking private propcny without just
compensation. He said Ihm lhe people harincd by environ
menial laws arc not GE and other big corpor-Jtions. hut
"farmers. teachers and other people who can't nfford a big
lnwycr." He also advocated strong propcny righis as a way
10 encourage proper management. "II ·s said 1ha1 if you have
a rare mineral on your fund you're lucky, but if you have a
rare animal you're unlucky." He said that property rights
should provide a way for bo1h to be lucky. and 10 keep people
from chopping down trees on their pmpeny in order 10 evade
regulators when they discover an endangered species<
Quayle said that envirolllncnrnl laws should only be
passed when there's a dangcruus risk and no bc!llcr way to
deal with ii. "Don't takeaway my property. Don't take away
my job. Oon'I lake away my livelihood. Don't take away
rny freedom," he said.
Quayle said America needs to remain ncxible and rise
10 meet challenges now as il ha.t; before.
As the deha1c continued. Quayle did his best 10 build
up his party's en\'ironmcnml record, ning impQrt-' of endangered trees untl
animals and ,treng1hcning 1hc Endan
gered Species Act. Quayle responded that the world is not
safe enough for us to become complacent, s1rcn,g1hcning
trade should he a higher priority tlmn trying 10 inOuence
01her countries· environmental policies. nnd lhe time ha.~
come 10 refom1 lhc Endangered Specie• ACI using good,
new science.
Kennedy closed by discussing 1he ongoing tension in
America beLwccn seeing our land •L~ simply aconLinent. with
re.'iourccs to extract, and John Winthrop's vision of.-city
on a hill. a model for all other countries. He said 1h01 envi
ronmental laws are our way of saying we're not just here
for profits, hul 10 build a community and lo protect our
common t.rust. '"The: obligation that we have LO other mem ..
bcrs of the community is expressed m cn,•i.ronmcntal laws."
he said. "If we don't give 10 our children something close
to what we got. we're going to have some very difficuh
questions to answer."
Quayle closed by cxhoning private involvement 10 help
make progress. "We have made progress. We will continue
10 make progress. There's tough choices, though." he said.
and called once again for a consensus 10 preserve both Ihc
cnvironmenl and the cconnmy.
Rarely during lhc debate did the two speakers agree
on any point, and 1hnt was an intcres1ing aspect of the dia
logue: how 1he speakers' different backgrounds rellected
1hc partisanship in pQlilics in general. Looking back on the
words and responses of 1he speakers, ii seems apparent lhnl
they came from backgrounds 1hn1 have long nunurcd parti•
san political dcdsion-making. now so reviled by the Ameri
can public and press.
As a former senator and Washington Insider. Mr.
Quayle's comments seemed 10 rcOec:1 this. In lhe begin
ning of his opening remarks, his mes.sag~ for the e,•ening
was or reaching a "consensus"' and rinding a cornmon work
able ground for both sides of the issue. Ycl when it came
time for 1he spenkcrs IO respond to each other, Quayle's
comments became 1ncreas1ngly derisive and po1arizcd.

up under Ronald Reagan and the Clean
Air Amendment under George Bush,
and how 1he Clinlon administra1ion
has cul funding for Superfund.
Kennedy responded 1ha1 the Superfund
program was a failure under Reagan
nnd Bush. whose administrators never
used the bill's three most important When Kennedy at one point rcfom:d to the government's
mishandling of cenain environmental issues. Quayle imme
diately went on the defensive. ond began IU hst all the envi
ronmental success stories of Republican presidcnLinl admin
istrnuons. then proceeded 10 lambas1 Kennedy as a reprc
scma1ivc for the Democr:ns and currclll prcsidcnIrnl ndmm•
istration. for undercutting cnvironrncnt:ll progrJms. Kennedy
1ried to assen his relatively apoliIical profession and his dis
sa1isfoc1ions with Bill Clinton, and aflcr a lime simply s1ood
back and lei Quayle toe his party line in pence.
Naturally the crowd was delighted when the two be·
gan 10 1aun1 each other in 1hc fashion of 1he televised de
bates we arc used to. But aside from the gcncrnl ''Gosh we
wish there. was some way we could !ix lhis" concluding
statements, there was linle attempt to come to the concrete
consensus Quayle had called forenrlier in the evening. l'cr•
haps the more "entertainment'' atmosphere of the evening
con1ribu1ed 10 Quayle's need 10 incite con0icI, but ii seems
ironic 1haI a public 1hn1 complains so loudly about the po
lari1.a1ion of politics still finds the conflict so cn1crrnining.
If a forum Iha1 is framed in the ccm1cxt of "striking a bal
ance" and facili1:11ed by a former Washington insider who
claims to wanl to seek consensus+ then winds the: evening
up in a s1oml of blustery, polari1~d rhetoric, what. ~ire our

resources such as water for cal.lie ranching for well under

sites in its first year a., the Reagan nnd Bush adminis1rn-
1ions did in twelve years. all wilh less money and more
aggressive enforcement and gelling corporations to pay for
the cleanups instead or 1he public. In one or the debate's
more scrappy moments. Kennedy al<o said that Quayle's
Council of Competitiveness had conspired with u1ili1yc:om
pames during planning of the Clean Air Amendment to make
it seem like eliminating each ton or sulphur dioxide from
emissions would cost $10,000. when in fact the cost turned
out to be $100 after the bill was actually passed. I I~ I 5•fi5 p.m .. Couf'il Chamber ~ Wednesday, March 5, 1997 '~#z;;~d~n~ey:l!J:¥isiti & tsiamProfcsffo\~ntlff?l11gy'""'

A group of seven Lewis & Clnrk vol•
untccrs helped the Lazarus Art Society lin
ish a murnl in nor1hea...;l Porlland during the
morning of Saturday, Feb. 22. ·n,c mural.
which decorates the Hahirn1 ror Humanity
office a, NE 14th Place and NE
Killingsworth St .. was begun in March of
1996. Li1.a Smith. who works with the Vol
umccr Services Center. was responsible for
bringing LC students together 10 linnlly fin
ish the mural.
This murnl painting projcc1 represents
1hc fusion ur1wo person ·s visions. Leon Fox
founded the Lazarus Ari Society in 1992.
The goal of this organiz.11ion is to introduce
kids 10 art in free. ofter school programs.
The purpose of such crca1ivc activity is to
bridge the time gnp bc1wcc11 school hours
and parents' work schedules. as well as for
the kids simply 10 haven good time nnd gain
n sense or independence.
"We want 10 pmvide an afler-schQOI nc•

want I◊ help trigger child's crenlivc abili•
tics ... and help them 10 reali,,c lhat they are
on indus1ry within themselves.'' said Fox.
n,e Ln,,orus Art Society also painis
mum ls Lhmughout the community. Fox, ll
Chicago native. laments 1hc lack or murals
in Portland. which. he says. nre a useful
means 10 prevent vandalism and lo beautify
the a.rea.
n,e mural on the ouisidc oft he Habi•

represents Fox's attempt 10 work whh
other groups and send the name or the
Lazarus Art Society out in10 the commu
nity. Projects such as this one help people

funding. "No. We have no
real source of funding ...
h's a struggle from month
10 month," Leon said of the
group's financial support.
This mural, designed
by Jeff Farrow. is not huge
or especially complex. his

ing rivers. buildings and
roads, such ns most chil
dren have drawn n1 some
point. Indeed. some of the
central painters nt the be

Children began the

as n fun Saturday morning

nized this weekend work
dny on 1he premise that nrt
can be: a form of communily $Crvice.
Smi1h hopes 1ha1 activities such us
this one will help 10 cxpnnd people's con•
ccption of what volunteer work is.
"People have a really narrow definition
of volunteer work; it's working once a
week a, a homeless sheller. It's kind of
moral. and you want 10 help," Smith said.
Volunteer work can be related 10 art.
politics, religion and everything else. ac•
cording 10 Smith. She would like to see
speakers in various professions come, and
talk 10 LC students about how their daily
work helps 10 empower people. Cmnmu• nity service is any work 1h01 posi1ivcly af
fects people.
So. should volunteers enjoy what they
do'? "Yes!" Smith says. Community service
is not n penance to be paid. but an active.
fun way to benefit other people in the area.
This type of volunteer service is especially
good for college students. according 10
Smith. "This is n way 10 connect with Port
land. People view college students as pass
ing. I wanl 10 be part of this community.''
she said.
The LC s1udcn1s who did participate in
this volun1eer service day declared that they all had a good mne. They enjoyed thelt
sclves despite their frce1jng hands undcdl

Meanwhile, the novice women's boat

floundering in the cold Willameue Oow. and
inquired if lhe man was okay.
There was no response. The man wcn1

Several " ... ologis1s" associated with the Forest Service
arc participating in meetings during 1hc week of February
23-28. concerning burning prescriptions in Forest Service
Wilderness Arca.~.
"As a result of progressive fire fighting ... fire, ecologi
cally, hos played a significant role in eliminating compet
ing spccies ... some species arc now out of balance," Thom
Corcoran, Pub I ic Affairs representative for the. Forest Ser ..
vice, said.
The Forest Service is nol allowed by law 10 do any
thing with fire in pristine Wilderness areas except to con•
rain and snuff them 001; they can only create prescriptions
10 decide how to deal with them before a lire starts. Their
main concern is maintaining a natural ecological balance
and keeping fire from leaving Lhe Wilderness area and de
stroying things outside of the boundary.
"!The overarching Forest Service. prescription] used
to be • define it, contain it. control it ... now we are very
careful about the risk assessment we don on these things,"
Corcoran said.
This week's meetings arc planned 10 help each region
update the previous prescriptions to help them meet the
current nnd changing weather patterns.

(sec article. "3.000 goes to concert" on page t of this week's

One reason is 1ha1 the campus OSPlRG chapter is
happy with the progr0-,si ve course that the Forest Service.
is taking in dealing wilh controlling fires in Lhe Wilder
ness Areas.
"We're not really doing anything on controlled burn
ing this year," Suzie Williamson, OSPfRG intern, said.
"II seems like the changes they are making arc good, but
if anythingcon1rovcrsinl comes up, I'm sureOSPIRG will
be on ii."
Another reason why LC students arc interested is be
cause there is the chance for them to learn something about
LC's Forest Service regional office prescriptions.
"If i1 go1 10 1hc point 1ha1 somcb<><ly wanted 10 talk
abou11heir favorite Wilderness Arca. they can call Ihcirre

Na, alllcar, Ulll'I 11111 IIICINIII, tr1 pat
Dc(lr£di1or,
A recent concern has been rniscd about
1hc cffcc1ivcncss of Lewis & Clark's drug
and alcohol policy. I have 10 wonder if Resi
dence Life is sincerely i111cres1cd in reduc
ing drug and alcohol usage or ir they arc
merely concerned with bad publicity. In 1he
instance 1h::it residence lire seriously desires
a rcduclion in drug and alcohol policy vio
lations, I would like 10 share my p<:rcep1ion
or the situation. Arcus requiring aucntion.
in my opinion, include rolicy enforcement
and pol icy enforcers.
As for as policy enforcers go. for 1hc
mos1 pars we nrc in go,>d shape. One sug
gcs1ion 1. propose is a miuidmory drug 1cs1
for RAs (I d<>n 't 1hink any cl3bora1ion is nec
essary). A second issue 1hat has come to my
aucntion i:-a lack of communicu1ion bc-
1wcen Residence Life and Campus Safo1y
concerning uction rnkl!n ngninst policy or.
fenders. It has bccn asserted 1hat Campus
Sttfcty is nol :tlw:tys informed about disd
plinary procedure, imposed upon policy of-fcndc-rs and without Lhis information cam
pus safety cannot handle repeat violations
in 1he proper manner.
Currently, as stoled in 1he February 14
/'i(}11eer u,g nrticle. •·Ford ready to combat
drug use," "!here's no perception 1hat LC is
trying to prevent drug and alcohol use." This
blindness is o direct result of unprcdic1able
consequences imposed upon policy "iol:i
tors. lnconsis.tenc.ies only provoke crilicism
and scrutiny agains1 I.he administration-as
we saw wi1h lhe Keith Bcmhnrclt case (Pio-
11eer llJg. 11 n21%). Another example is the
new candle and incense policy; anyone
caugh1 with cand1C$ or incense is subjected
10 a$50 tone. but no ~uch line exists for 1hose
who wish 10 violate smoking, drug. or alco
hol policies. To establish a respect for policy
among students. Campus Lifo must imple
ment a consistent enforcement strategy with
:mthoritative penalties. I appreciate 1he nex
ibility or our curren1 system but it leads to
too much confusion. First.time ,1iolntors
must receive some punishrnen1 in order 10 gr:i.sp the no1ion that this
campus is serious about
its policies, Subsequent
violmions ncccssiuue in
creasingly serious pen
alties. The Code of Con
duct sets up various ju
dicial bodies, including
1he Peer and College
Review Boards. bu1 it
docsn'1 explici1ly clesfg
nate jurisdiction or cri
teria for who.t cases
these bodies will handle.
Once unwavering poli-!
cies and penal des are e.~-::
' tablishcd, drug and alco-
hol policies may be
tnken more seriously.

Unions •110, lhaddy work
1'o the Editor:
Ben Harfs1 must have never worked in
u union scuing before. because he shows
li1tle understandini; of the downsides of
il'nions. Bluntly. the seniority system of
unions fosters ~in ntmosphere in which work
ers arc rewarded for s1aying with the same
job. regardless or whether they arc improv
ing and sometimes regardless of whether or
not lhty arc even helping the company more
than hurting it.
Fur1hcm1ore, union workers do no1 al
ways produce 1he bcsl qualily products.
Often union workers arc working simply
because the mies in place prevent 1hc t:orn-
pnny from firing union employees. This sys•
tem thus orten ~ncourages poor work. Sten.l
ing. and leads to a higher price for 1he con
sumer since non-perfonn:mce-based pay
raises and legal fees also add t0 the cost for
a company employing union workers. This
cos1 is. of course. passed on to the consumer.
This isn't to say I don't support labor
unions, I just question their relevancy 1hcsc
days. I've worked for unions berore and
what I noticed is that new workers were s1uck with ou1rageous foes and that many
of lhc w.nior workers were nclunlly less pro-
ductivc 1h:m the newer workers while be~
ing, paid twice the wages. Nol cxnclly tht.·
rosy picture Mr. Hnrfst paints.
TI,e sad Lhing is. unions can be good.
have been good in the past. I jus1 qucslion
their relevancy today as well ns their effec
tiveness. More importantly I qucstlo,1 your
assertion that union~ arc good for America.
They were. hack when 1hcy were ac1ive.
changing heinous practices like child l:ibor.
clc. Bui these days unions don'1 light the
big fights. ins1ead they bloat the unionized
American work force and help to add to th<
price or consumer goods. In some cases
unions may even indirec1ly cost Am4!ricnns
their jobs (wilne-<s NAFTA).
Tiia1 said. I still think unibns ha\'c their
pince, but thcy'"c become complacent. If
you want 10 supporl unioris don'1 do so
blindly. Instead, ask yourself wh:n good
unions do and suppon them in these endeav
ors. but seriously ask yourself wha1 had 1bey
do and question them in kind.

Kennedy compared the effecLs of cnvironmen1ul legis

ing laws and soc.i:'11 regulations, such us Lhosc against child

Amid considerable laughter, applause and jeering. 1wo
or America ·s noted public figures s1oocl underthc hot stage
lights of 1he Arlene Schni11.er auditorium lasl week 10 de•
bate the hotly con1es1ed issue of the trade-Qff between en
vironment and economy. Environmental Jawycr (and in~
heritor of a family legacy of public service) Robcn F.
Kennedy. Jr .. and the most notorious vice-president of re
cent years. J. Danforth Quayle. met in Pon land 1ocon1inuc
the tradition of the Tom McCall Forum sponsored by Pa
cific University. 11,c debate stayed c)Qse 10 mainstream
Republican and Democratic views on ·'Striking the Bal
uncc: The E~onomy ~nd The Environment," wi1h occa~ional
panisan jabs 10 keep things moving along.
Kennedy has used h,s inhented fortune 10 become a pas•
sionaie and knowledgeable cnvironmcnml lawyer. He ar
gued 1ha1 allowing corporations to us,: up resources and
pollute the environment a1 the public expense 1s equ1valcn1
10 a governmcnl subsidy of those corporations. and said
th:n having corporations .shoulder lhc coslS of their aclions
in a true market system would lead directly 10 a clean envi
ronment to be passed on to our children.
Quayle spoke from his role as a perennial Republican
presidential hopeful. endorsing individual rights against the
tyr-"nny of environmental low, and said that environmental
pro1ccIion would be impossible wi1hou1 first building a
strong economy. He championed Amcric~, as a nncion of
ideas and moral purpose and was optimistic about its abil
ity 10 find solutions 10 our many environmental problems.
He claimed his primary concerns were pro1cc1ion of pri
vate property and :t good grounding in "common sense"
nnd sound science. as opposed lO the "tabloid" variety 1ha1
made sensationalist claims und apocalyptic warnings.
801h speakers 100k fifleen minutes to make their ca.~.
before fielding questions from a panel of professors and
students and finally. from 1hc audience.
Kennedy has buill ~ ,arccr as ltn environmental law
yer. and currently works for the Hudson Rivcrkeeper. a
coalition or lishcrrncn and recreational users who patrol
the Hudson River and sue polluters. Last year he w:,s sent
10 Washington 10 lobby against "supermnnda1cs" built in10
the Contract for America. which would have nullified swaths
of existing cnvirc)nmcnrnl legislation without the inconve
nience of repealing individual laws. He says 1hese bills,
which President Clinton refused 1osign. would havcguucd
lhc Clean Water Act, lhc Endangered Species act and 1hc
re-sl of 1hc 19 major national environmental laws. in order
lO create n climu1e bcucr suited to corporations.
Kennedy went on lO address a clu:;ter of environmental
topics. He dismissed 1hc notion thm the time has come to
choose bc.1wecn the environment and 1he economy. "ln cv•
cry case good environmental policy is identical 10 good eco
nomic policy if we want to measure 1hc economy on the
jobs created and the dignity of the jobs;· he said. He added
1hnt wcc:an'I 1rca1 thccanh like:, "company in liquidation.''
Kennedy said thnl countries without environmental
lnws invariably end up whh economic disasters. Russia'~
Aral Sea has become a bio waste site, n liflh c1f Bclorus is
permnnemly uninhabirnblc from radiation from Chernobyl.
citizens or Indonesia hnvc suffered an average loss or 7
points from their lQ from lead in the air, and Mexico City
has cu ban cars half the time and shuL down industries when
wcnther pllllcrns lock pollution in over the city. All of these
nrc cx-amplcs of cnvironmcnrnl Ihm damages publicly held resources, the company can
profit a1 the expense or the public. Kennedy considers bmh
of these forms of government subsidy or outright 1heft by
corporations from the public, and says that when 1he true
costs arc factored in1 companies will hnvc i.J1c same incen•
tivc as the public 10 protect the environment.
Kennedy also tried 10 dispel any idea that he wants 10
put 1he environment ahead of people ·s concerns. "TI1c rea
son we protcc1 nmure i~ for our sake. for wha1 it can do ror
us" he said, "I don't wnn1 my children 10 grow up in a world
where lhcrc arc no commcrdul rish•
cmtcn and no fom,s." He also sees "Come on!" Quayle responded, declaring wetland ar
eas devalues property, imd '"thnt is not
an ~lllack on government. That's an
nature as a connection to God. nnd as
an irreplaceable source of creativity.
Quayle's environmental ethic
seemed somewhat more pQli1ically
based and less thoroughly educated
or personally thought-out than
Kennedy's. He said thnt no one wants
10 choose between 1hc economy and
che environment and said that we can
have both. However, he called for "If we don't give io our
children something close to
what we got, we're going to
have some very difficulr
questions to a11swe1: "
-Robert F. Kennedy, J1: amick on people." "People care deeply
nbout the environment." he said.
"Why do11·1 wc JUSl trust people a Ii Ille
more'/" As an example he gave Ducks
Unlimited, which has voluniarily pul
aside 50,000 acres of wetland.
Kennedy went on 10 endorse re•
ducing the defense budget l<I pay for
environmental improvements. ban•
finding lhe most efficient way to pro-
tect the environment while leaving the: economy room to
grow. If lhc U.S. economy had grown by 1 % less for each
of 1he last I 00 years, Quayle said, ii would now be one•
1hird or its current size-the same size as Mexico's.
Quayle began with a call for bipanisan consensus. "Al
this time we don '1 need more polariwJion. We need con
sensus," he said, and coun~led against bringing in extremes
or inOamma1ion. Quayle said 1ha1 afier 1he postwar indus
trial boom. a bipanisan consensus emerged in the '60s and
'70s that we needed 10 protect the environment, and al 1haI
1ime President Nixon sci up the EPA.
Quayle buih his environmental goals on lhe ba.~is of
live principles: the principles of Freedom, pro1ee1ion of con•
sti1utional ·rights. common sense, good science and Oex•
ibilily. He defined freedom as 1hc freedom 10 breathe clean
air and drink clean wmer. as well us 10 let people find !heir
own way IO meet environmental stnnd:uds when the gov
ernment sets them. lie also endorsed the freedom 10 hnve
polluters pay for cleanups. not 1hc general public. a call
Iha1 came back 10 haunt him later in the debate.
Quayle's main argument came on lhc basis of keeping
the government from taking private propcny without just
compensation. He said Ihm lhe people harincd by environ
menial laws arc not GE and other big corpor-Jtions. hut
"farmers. teachers and other people who can't nfford a big
lnwycr." He also advocated strong propcny righis as a way
10 encourage proper management. "II ·s said 1ha1 if you have
a rare mineral on your fund you're lucky, but if you have a
rare animal you're unlucky." He said that property rights
should provide a way for bo1h to be lucky. and 10 keep people
from chopping down trees on their pmpeny in order 10 evade
regulators when they discover an endangered species<
Quayle said that envirolllncnrnl laws should only be
passed when there's a dangcruus risk and no bc!llcr way to
deal with ii. "Don't takeaway my property. Don't take away
my job. Oon'I lake away my livelihood. Don't take away
rny freedom," he said.
Quayle said America needs to remain ncxible and rise
10 meet challenges now as il ha.t; before.
As the deha1c continued. Quayle did his best 10 build
up his party's en\'ironmcnml record, ning impQrt-' of endangered trees untl
animals and ,treng1hcning 1hc Endan
gered Species Act. Quayle responded that the world is not
safe enough for us to become complacent, s1rcn,g1hcning
trade should he a higher priority tlmn trying 10 inOuence
01her countries· environmental policies. nnd lhe time ha.~
come 10 refom1 lhc Endangered Specie• ACI using good,
new science.
Kennedy closed by discussing 1he ongoing tension in
America beLwccn seeing our land •L~ simply aconLinent. with
re.'iourccs to extract, and John Winthrop's vision of.-city
on a hill. a model for all other countries. He said 1h01 envi
ronmental laws are our way of saying we're not just here
for profits, hul 10 build a community and lo protect our
common t.rust. '"The: obligation that we have LO other mem ..
bcrs of the community is expressed m cn,•i.ronmcntal laws."
he said. "If we don't give 10 our children something close
to what we got. we're going to have some very difficuh
questions to answer."
Quayle closed by cxhoning private involvement 10 help
make progress. "We have made progress. We will continue
10 make progress. There's tough choices, though." he said.
and called once again for a consensus 10 preserve both Ihc
cnvironmenl and the cconnmy.
Rarely during lhc debate did the two speakers agree
on any point, and 1hnt was an intcres1ing aspect of the dia
logue: how 1he speakers' different backgrounds rellected
1hc partisanship in pQlilics in general. Looking back on the
words and responses of 1he speakers, ii seems apparent lhnl
they came from backgrounds 1hn1 have long nunurcd parti•
san political dcdsion-making. now so reviled by the Ameri
can public and press.
As a former senator and Washington Insider. Mr.
Quayle's comments seemed 10 rcOec:1 this. In lhe begin
ning of his opening remarks, his mes.sag~ for the e,•ening
was or reaching a "consensus"' and rinding a cornmon work
able ground for both sides of the issue. Ycl when it came
time for 1he spenkcrs IO respond to each other, Quayle's
comments became 1ncreas1ngly derisive and po1arizcd.
probJcms maturing in,o ccononuc
c.atnstrophcs.
Kennedy said that cnvironn1en
tal lcgislalion does not pose nn un•
warran1ed threat 10 local control. lie
said 1hat when local communities
arc given control of c:nvironmen1al
regulation. they end up prey 10 cor
porations like GE who can always
find a community which will 1nke "Don't take away my
property. Don '1 take away
my job. Don't take away my
livelihood. Don't take away
my freedom." -Dan Quayle talking about how Superfund was set
up under Ronald Reagan and the Clean
Air Amendment under George Bush,
and how 1he Clinlon administra1ion
has cul funding for Superfund.
Kennedy responded 1ha1 the Superfund
program was a failure under Reagan
nnd Bush. whose administrators never
used the bill's three most important When Kennedy at one point rcfom:d to the government's
mishandling of cenain environmental issues. Quayle imme
diately went on the defensive. ond began IU hst all the envi
ronmental success stories of Republican presidcnLinl admin
istrnuons. then proceeded 10 lambas1 Kennedy as a reprc
scma1ivc for the Democr:ns and currclll prcsidcnIrnl ndmm•
istration. for undercutting cnvironrncnt:ll progrJms. Kennedy
1ried to assen his relatively apoliIical profession and his dis
sa1isfoc1ions with Bill Clinton, and aflcr a lime simply s1ood
back and lei Quayle toe his party line in pence.
Naturally the crowd was delighted when the two be·
gan 10 1aun1 each other in 1hc fashion of 1he televised de
bates we arc used to. But aside from the gcncrnl ''Gosh we
wish there. was some way we could !ix lhis" concluding
statements, there was linle attempt to come to the concrete
consensus Quayle had called forenrlier in the evening. l'cr•
haps the more "entertainment'' atmosphere of the evening
con1ribu1ed 10 Quayle's need 10 incite con0icI, but ii seems
ironic 1haI a public 1hn1 complains so loudly about the po
lari1.a1ion of politics still finds the conflict so cn1crrnining.
If a forum Iha1 is framed in the ccm1cxt of "striking a bal
ance" and facili1:11ed by a former Washington insider who
claims to wanl to seek consensus+ then winds the: evening
up in a s1oml of blustery, polari1~d rhetoric, what. ~ire our

This then has spillover effects on mhcr people in the s1a1e
who arc not benefiting from the money. and aficr a few

provides the sLrength for individual communities to protect

Kennedy secs n true free market as 1he best wny 10
protect the cnvironrncnt. CurrenLly the government sells
resources such as water for cal.lie ranching for well under
their market value. And when a company crc31cs pollution provisions. Kennedy said that the
Clinton adminis1r..ttion has cleaned up three limes ns many
sites in its first year a., the Reagan nnd Bush adminis1rn-
1ions did in twelve years. all wilh less money and more

A group of seven Lewis & Clnrk vol•
untccrs helped the Lazarus Art Society lin
ish a murnl in nor1hea...;l Porlland during the
morning of Saturday, Feb. 22. ·n,c mural.
which decorates the Hahirn1 ror Humanity
office a, NE 14th Place and NE
Killingsworth St .. was begun in March of
1996. Li1.a Smith. who works with the Vol
umccr Services Center. was responsible for
bringing LC students together 10 linnlly fin
ish the mural.
This murnl painting projcc1 represents
1hc fusion ur1wo person ·s visions. Leon Fox
founded the Lazarus Ari Society in 1992.
The goal of this organiz.11ion is to introduce
kids 10 art in free. ofter school programs.
The purpose of such crca1ivc activity is to
bridge the time gnp bc1wcc11 school hours
and parents' work schedules. as well as for
the kids simply 10 haven good time nnd gain
n sense or independence.
"We want 10 pmvide an afler-schQOI nc•
1ivi1y 1hm's both fun and cduc:uional. We
want I◊ help trigger child's crenlivc abili•
tics ... and help them 10 reali,,c lhat they are
on indus1ry within themselves.'' said Fox.
n,e Ln,,orus Art Society also painis
mum ls Lhmughout the community. Fox, ll
Chicago native. laments 1hc lack or murals
in Portland. which. he says. nre a useful
means 10 prevent vandalism and lo beautify
the a.rea.
n,e mural on the ouisidc oft he Habi•
tal for Humanity oflicc in NE Portland
represents Fox's attempt 10 work whh
other groups and send the name or the
Lazarus Art Society out in10 the commu
nity. Projects such as this one help people
10 reali,.e the work thnt the Society is do
ing. and gencrn.tt! funds. Fox·s organiza .. lion suffers from a lack of"' .. ------~--------------------------•
funding. "No. We have no
real source of funding ...
h's a struggle from month
10 month," Leon said of the
group's financial support.
This mural, designed
by Jeff Farrow. is not huge
or especially complex. his
a delightful picture featur
ing rivers. buildings and
roads, such ns most chil
dren have drawn n1 some
point. Indeed. some of the
central painters nt the be
ginning of last year were
children involved in the
Society's after school pro
grams.
Children began the
murnl ns n run afternoon
activity: seven LC stu
dents finished the activity
as n fun Saturday morning
nc1ivi1y. Li1,a Smith orga
nized this weekend work
dny on 1he premise that nrt
can be: a form of communily $Crvice.
Smi1h hopes 1ha1 activities such us
this one will help 10 cxpnnd people's con•
ccption of what volunteer work is.
"People have a really narrow definition
of volunteer work; it's working once a
week a, a homeless sheller. It's kind of
moral. and you want 10 help," Smith said.
Volunteer work can be related 10 art.
politics, religion and everything else. ac•
cording 10 Smith. She would like to see
speakers in various professions come, and
talk 10 LC students about how their daily
work helps 10 empower people. Cmnmu• nity service is any work 1h01 posi1ivcly af
fects people.
So. should volunteers enjoy what they
do'? "Yes!" Smith says. Community service
is not n penance to be paid. but an active.
fun way to benefit other people in the area.
This type of volunteer service is especially
good for college students. according 10
Smith. "This is n way 10 connect with Port
land. People view college students as pass
ing. I wanl 10 be part of this community.''
she said.
The LC s1udcn1s who did participate in
this volun1eer service day declared that they all had a good mne. They enjoyed thelt
sclves despite their frce1jng hands undcdl
ioes. It wns a bcau1iful day later that afllr•

tween these two teams this season.
Both teams had heat the other on their
home Ooor during the regular season. The
most recent match-up came February 15.

and sole posse.~sion of second place in the
conference. Wednesday's game pi!tcd the
second and third place teams in the NCIC,
with the winner advancing to the champi
onship game. The other spot would be tilled
by the winneror1he lirst (Pacific) and forth

also played Wednesday at Pacific.
The Pirates jumped to an early 9-6 lead,
only 10 have LC go on a 24-7 run. doubling
Whitworth's score. With three Pioneers
scoring in double digits nnd the 1c.1m hit
ting50 percent from 1he Ooor. the Pio's built
themselves a comfortable 48-34 lcad by half.
The second half went much like the first
with Pirates rarely gening within ten points the rest of the game. ln the linal minute
Whitworth mnnaged 10 cut the lead 10 six,
but behind the hot foul shooting of senior
Perry Lam the Pioneers held off the rally 10
win by ten.
Lam played the entire game hilting 13-
14 from tbc free throw line. finishing with
a team high 23 points and six assists.
Whitney Brake and Eli Effinger were also
large factors in the win. both contributing

game highs in both scoring and rebounding
finishing with 27 nnd 13, respectively.
Earlier in the week, LC wrapped up the
S<.'llson and guaranteed themselves second

Willamette and Linficld. The wins gave the
Pioneers a 20-4 regular season record, an
.833 winning percentage, the highest. in
school history.

1ribu1ing 11.
'Otc following day in McMinnville,
Brooks Meck scored a career high 40 points

cats 10 39 percent. Although overshadowed
by Meek. both Lam and Brake had solid
games as well dropping in 18 and I 6 respec
tively.

third NCIC player-of-the-week selection of
the year. In the vi~tories over George Fox,
Willamelle and Linficld he totaled 79 points.
13 rebounds. 12 assists and live steals. He
currently is the leading scorer in the NClC

Whitman tried 10 run its settled offense the

Another positive note for the Pioneers
was the con1inued emergence of Tom

"We have never really had someone
who mastered that position here, but Tom
seems to have the knack," Burke said.
