-Alexis Gensburg,
LC Amnesty
International Coordinator
Each movie represents a struggle for
human rights in a different country, show­
ing the need to keep working for human
rights everywhere.
The documentary explains about the
U.S. government maintnined school in the
South which brought Latin-American sol­
diers to the US 10 be trained as assassins for
their governments. The role of the U.S. is
now under investigation. In addition to the

111915 Trustees Review campus conduct poUcies
BJ Ma11ltia,, Fripp
A group of Lewis & Clark Trustees is
drafting recommendations for improving
and streamlining the way conduct rnaucrs
nre handled on campus.
The Board of Trustees Ta.sk Force on
Community Values and Conduct was estab­
lished in February at the request of College
President Michael Mooney and Chairman
of the Board Jack Faust, to take an outside
look at campus community values and con­
duct.
The four members of the task force arc
Joan Smith, one or Portland's three Public
Utilities Commissioners; Ralph Holman, a
retired Oregon Supreme Court Justice;
Owen Panner, a federal judge; and Mary
Bishop, an Oregon civic leader.
The task force has decided to review
three major topics: the Undergraduate Code
of Conduct. including the various behavior
review channels; the relationship between
local police agencies and our Department
or Campus Safety; and the potential merits
of developing an institution wide code that
would apply to all students, faculty and staff.
Almost all of the work the task force
has done so far has been in reviewing the
Undergraduate Code of Conduct and its en­
forcement. Many members of the Residence
Life staff and review organiwtions, such as
Peer Review Board. are frustrated with gr,1y
areas in enforcement policy and an ineffi­
cient review process which can lead to
months of delays between violations of the
Code of Conduct and the imposition of sanc­
tions.
Before Spring Break, members of the
task force spent about live hours in an af­
ternoon and evening meeting discussing
these issues with members of the student
government, Peer Review Board, RDs, RAs.
concerned students. Dean of Students
Michael Ford. and Director or Campus
Safety Bill Curtin.
The task force convened again at the
Main Stage Play
pages end of ·March to begin work on a draft re­
port on their findings, and will meet again
at le3$t once before the end or April. They
will eventually prepare a final report fonhe
Board of Trustees. The Board is then likely
10 return that report to the College as ad­
vice for various campus policy makers. but
not to impose specific mandates.
Task Force Chair Joan Smith says that
one of the most important things the group
is looking for is ways to engage students in
the making of campus policy. ''No code will
work unless students buy into it. unless it's
their code. unless they respect it," she said.
After the blowup over the incense und
candle policy this year, she says, "l think
the Dean of Students realizes now that if
there's going 10 be a new policy. it needs 10
come from students, not just appear in Sep­
tember.'1
Smith says that a new grassroots ap­
proach to policy could take a number of
paths, including running potential amend­
ments 10 the Pathfinder past the student
body, student government and through the
Pioneer log as part of a formal comment
period. Smith says that some members of
the adminisiration may be worried ab(,ut
taking such a liberal stance, but tl1ai the stu­
dent body is small enough 10 have • real
dialogue, and if they're involved they will
feel responsible for new policies, "That's as
important a part of learning as anything,"
she said.
Smith wants to avoid looking :u how
policy is set from the extreme vantages of
authority going only 10 students or only 10
the Dean of Students. She would like to see
m<>rc of a middle path, such as the one Ford
is currently following with his review of the
Drug and Alcohol Policy. where tl1c Dean
of Students holds final responsibility for
decisions, but works 10 avoid making a de­
cision in a vacuum.

Step .-way from the cash register and no one gets hurt
By Matthias Fripp
I've been thinking something lately that comes about
as close as possible 10 he1erodoxy in American socie1y. J 've
been thinking we need 10 learn 10 consume less. We need 10
learn no1 10 want 1/ri11gs.
Wanting less is a step towards living sustainably on
our plaoel, and can also be a way 10 lind more immediate
happiness.
Many people would say 1ha1 the biggest thrca1 10 the
Earch's cnvironmen1 is the rapid increase in population in
lhe less-developed world. Bue lhc developed world poses
jusl as much of a 1hrea1 wi1h ils massive (and rising) per
capiui consumpt.ion of natural resources. We arc quite con4
tent 10 suggesl (or even require) Iha! the Third World con­
trol i1s population, bul we never talk about controlling our
consump1ion. Who's 10 say one approach is belier than !he
other?
We'd like to see the Third World develop along a sus­
tainable path which won't multiply the environmen1al de­
s1ruc1ion caused by our dcvelopmen1, but it's unfair to ask
the rest of the world to follow thal pa1h while we refuse-lo
follow ii ourselves. A sus1ainablc level of consumption
would mosi likely be somewhere be1ween ourcurrcnl level
ond that of the Third World, bu1 we cannot move 10 that
middle place as long as reducing consumplion is unthink­
able in !he Firs1 World.
Our consumption rmc keeps going up, and as long as
this is the case. we will never be able 10 solve our environ­
menial problems. l was on a Fores1 Service field trip lase week. and was disturbed to hear 1ha1 the overage single fom­

lumber, has grown 10 use 16.000 board-feet. American fami­
lies aren'I geuing any bigger. so presumably people are
building larger homes 10 hold all 1he ocher things 1hey buy.
One of !he missions of 1he Forest Service is 10 ensure a
supply of wood for America. They argue 1ha1 if we don'I

la1ions are among the s1rongcs1 in the 10 admire new clothes, a fas1 car. a big house-and as aduhs

Why is ii so hard 10 think of reducing consumplion?
Talking about providing less for everyone scenlS anti-pro­
gressive. Afler decades of hearing 1ha1 having more will
make us happier, we've come to believe it. The American
Dream is supposedly to work hard, gel rich and have ev­

enough. I'm going io stop.'' Mose ofus passed lhc point of

continue U> "stress out'' in a cons1an1 struggle to cam more
and acquire more.
The constant desire for more of everything may have
had its place when survival was a s1ruggle and people had
10 lake wha1ever they could get their hands on. Bui we can
now ea.sily provide enough for a comfortable existence for
everyone on the plancl, and still we wane more. Our prob­

LC Theatre Dept. wraps up season with The Representative
by Jot Grossman
The Lewis & Clark Theatre Depart­
ment is gearing up for its last show of the
year, The Repre.ve11tati1•e. Based on Rus•
sian playwright Nikolai Gogol's 1836 play
The /11spector Ge11cra/, the production
boldly updates the original's setting of
19th century Tsarist Russia to modern-day
American society. 1830s, the Representative visits a small
town somewhere in modern-day Oregon,
And instead of being mistaken for 1he In­
spector General. the main character
(played by Senior James Moore) is be­
lieved to be an emissary of technological

is a Tsar for our era, his name is Bill Gates." ,All involved in the play have tried 10
keep not only Gogol's plot int.act, but also
his tone and wiL Not necessarily an easy
task, but American society's economic sta­
tus, corpora1e downsizing, and exponen­
tially expanding technology certainly sup•
ply a lot of fodder for satire. Weeks sums
up the play's thesis as one of a society in
transition, on the verge of a technological
revolution that will surely leave many
people behind. "A lot of people arc stuck in
a rut, but arc aware of the society Bill Gates
is pushing, and they have to decide if they
want to be a part of it." In the original play. a man named
Khlestakov visits a small Russian town
and the people falsely presume that he is

himself. -As the citizens bend over back­
wards to impress their illustrious visitor.
the audience is treated to a lively satire of
power and lhe havoc it wreaks on ordi•
nary people. Director Stephen Weeks has wanted to
present The /11spector Ge11ora/ for a long
Lime, but decided on this tweaked version
of the classic instead. "I wanted 10 find a
way to express one of the central features
of the play -the relation of ordinary citi­
zens 10 power -in contemporary terms," he
explained. To make the change of venue smoother,
Weeks commissioned Erika Warmbrunn to
write an "Americanized" adaptation of
Gogol's work, and he and his cast have fur­
ther modiried the language to match today's
society. "If you listen carefully, a lot of it
may retain some of the I 9th-century llavor.
but most of it sounds contemporary and
American:•
Purists may quibble with the decision
10 tamper with a claS-<ic (the new play has
also dropped, added, and reconfigured a
number of characters to suit its milieu), com•
plaining that such alterations detract from
the original work. But while Weeks admits
that some of the bite of the satire may be
lost, he insists there is a trade-off: "In re­
storing it, we've tried to add in satire on the
20th century.'' Ti,e Represelllative runs from April 10-
12 and April 17-19. Shows begin at 8 pm,

A traditional trench soap lightens up the stage in a modern way
by Antonia Giedwoyn
Infidelity, parent-child relationships, and conflict
among generations are just a sample of the themes embraced
in this Spring's French (dept.) play, "Des Enfants De Coeur."
The production, directed by French TA Florcnt Ouary, is a
collaboration of efforts including those of Ouary. student
actors, the French department, and French Professor Plo­
rcnce Jurney. who selected the piny and helped to organize
such plays in the past. Jurney explained that she had origi­
nally chosen the play 10 be performed last year, however;
since there were no interested male aclors, the show had to
be canceled.
"This kind of play is called n 'piece de Boulevard', or
• Boule\'ard play,' Jurney said, "since it was in fact born on
the main boulevard of Paris before the French Revolution." Jurney continued lO say that at that time there were small
theaters set up on the Boulevard. 11,e plays, which were
performed for the common people. addressed everyday
subjects. In the 19th century the theatrical variation cen­
tered around "the bed," virtually always involving the char­
acters of a married man, his mistress, and the comic aspect
of resolving the awkward situation. "During the 1930s. the
plays began to evolve and include more than just 'bed sto­
ries'; other issues as well, such as the emancipation of
women or inter-racial marriage. That is what attracted me
to this play-its complex underlying issues that rcnect prob­
lems occurring in current society."
"Des Enfants De Coeur," which debuted in 1967, is a
comedy in three acts. The main plot involves a Monsieur

Naked to the World strips music to its core
by Lon ll'/,il/ier
On Friday, April 11. an evening of grooves is set to
move t.he Lewis & Clark campus into a frenzied state of
constan1 motion. Naked 10 the World will headline this
event, along with LC favorites Pickin and Sangan, Eye of
the Gnoodle, and Groove Manifesto. The Plaufonn will
open early at 8 pm kicking this fun filled evening off to a
great start.
Naked lo the World hails from California and special­
i1..cs in clanccnble. canhy nooustic tunes. They perform to
sellout crowds from Nashville lo San Francisco and are
quickly becoming one of the honest acts on the college cir­
cuit. Their acoustic sounds have had them named "Acous­
tic Band of the Year" by the Academy of Songwriters. Al­
though they arc acoustic, they are a rock band, bringing to
mind the atmosphere found in Portland-favorite Calobo.
Rich with harmony, Naked to the World's sincere lyr­
ics of weather wom hope, love gone sour, and
dreams full of passion pulls the audicnc~ a liulc
bit deeper in10 their world of music. Naked to the
World's live shows ha"c a tremendous high level
of energy. getting even 1he apa1he1ic audience up
on lheir feet and dancing in no time.
On Naked 10 1he World's CD Pilgrim'., Kiss,
one can hear how the live !'-hows have gamed
their popular appeal. From the album's opening
cut, Pilgnm's Kiss. principle songwriter Kevin
Fisher shows off his pop sensibility that h;a,s been
compared to lhc s,ing writing power of John
Lennon nnd Paul McCartney. The acoustic power
is further embellished with the percussionist's use
of congas, vibraslap, as well as the usual drum
set. When one listens to the lyrics they lind the
inOucnce of Shakespeare or Rodin with !heir po­
etic appeal. The poignant stories created in the
lyrics n,ny have un mlluence which one could
liken 10 Shakespeare. While 1he vocal hannomes
carry mos1 of the album, the gui1ar holds it all
together. Whether it is solo guiwr. or accompa­
nied by mandolin and violin, the music keeps
one's toc tapping 10 the constant beat that demands
an audience to dnnce to it.
LC will host this event with the groovi ngest bands to play on campus. Pickin and Snngan will start the
early Friday night set at 8 pm with their ever amusing an­
tics, and will keep the fun vibe happening between the
bands' sets. P:ye of the Gnoodle. one of the under-appreci­
ated bands of the Portland music scene, will make the next
appearance with their wild jam-scat style. Eye of 1hc
Gnoodle promises to be a tough act to follow, but Groove
Manifesto is going to take that challenge and prepare the
Planform crowd with even more booty shaking music.
Groove Manifesto's jll7.z inspired tunes promise to move
your body more than your mind (a welcome relief with fi­
nals around the corner.) When Naked to the World hits the
stage the LC music lovers should be all warmed up for a set
of acoustic based dancing.
This is the final of SOFA's Live Music Showcases, so
be sure 10 check out the act.ion 1onigh1 April 11, 8 pm, at
The Plauform, George's wife Solange, and her English boyfriend. Com­
plications arise, and the play proves to be an intricate web
of betrayal, deceit, and secrets-basic soap opera ingredi,
ents.
Jurney and Ouary commented tha1 the French dcpan­
ment is the only foreign language department that puts on
plays, and that they hope to have yearly productions. Toe
activity itself is a class. or rather a practicum for which 1he
students receive credit. After having attended a dress re­
hearsal, I feel compelled to say that the show is quite im•
pressive with genuine sounding French accents, as well as
plenty of emotion on-stage. The cast dynamics are strong.
and they seem to enjoy their dramatic scenes and mono­
logues. The play's only perfomiance is this Friday, April
11 at 7:30 pm in the chapel. The lights and the action will
be there. cl vous'!

Compositions and presentation arc exactly what the

who pulls the show together. She is resp0nsible for helping their artwork combined. In this sense. their best work is 10
be shown at the an exhibition.
The best, even though limited, carries with it the in­
tention that ii should be viewed. The idea is to benefit the
community by showing the art. ''We are a pretty decent
bunch of emerging artists, and our work is aculminaiion of
what LC has to offer students artistically,"

ings, paintings. sculptures. and photos

tnls and opinions for the benefit of all
who come 10 the gallery. "Think of it as a parry celebrating the fact that the 25 students
involved are making every effort to avoid becoming
another lawyer; banker; etc." Harding said.
Those who come to the show from on­
or off-campus may be inspired to do work
of their own. It may change their perspec­
tive on life. The an may affect them cmo•
tionally or aesthe1ic.1lly. but the point is to

ber. Each worked on their own until it was necessary to
pool together their separate talents in a comprehensible
manner. The show's design is based upon compromises
the students made in placing their art while keeping the
original intentions of their work. This has led 10 a show
where the art is intended to be both individualistic and
eomplementary of surrounding pieces. the seniors with the arrangement of their artwork. She
needed to rind the right spot for everyone with the rewest
possible difficulties, just as if she were putting together a

campus. Vu believes that there should be more time allot­
ted to the show. With so linle time left, people will have a
greater chance of seeing the exhibition thi~ way.
Some of the art majors showing their work include
Sinh Vu, who has several figure drawings in the exhibi•
lion. Mauhew Harding has submiued sculpture which
was translated from his own figure drawings. Sierra Bird
will have her paintings on display and Samuel Thomp­
son will have six photographs displayed which he refers to
as "windows through which one can look at commuters on The problems with arranging things is that there can
be personal conflicts between anists and there isn't always
enough room to show everything that they have to offer.
However, there has been little struggle in the show's ar­
rangemenL "l have found that art students arc adamantly
protective of their work and we have graciously dealt with
