On Wednesday, Sept. 23,
mteres1e.d students had an
opponuoity to e>-plore the
many overseas progralllS
Lewis and Clark has 10 offer.
The main speaker introduced
all of the his1ruc1ors involved.
while addressing some or 1he
more common questions and
fears that students have abou1
ovq-seas progr.ims.
Sa[ety, due to a recent
.surge m overseas cc.rrorism,
was a number one pnority.
This was addressed with a
logical answer: yes, there arc
safety concerns wherever you
go. yet LC students arc usu­
ally placed wuh fairly s1able
families or in college dormi-
10rics. You ahvays have the
option of leaving or transfer­
ring t0 a different program if
the social and political sltua­
llon becomes 100 hot. An•
other quesuon wos if money
from tu,uon and scholarships
IS applicable to these pro­
grams. Your 1uiuon and
scholarships are completely
applicable towards your study abroad trip. Unfortu•
natcly. if you would like LO
allend a university not in­
cluded on 1he LC o"erseas
program list, your mone.y
cannot be ,ised through LC
channels. You must arrange
for some differenl route
through that university in
order to pay for your tmuon.
Although all of the over•
seas programs for this semes­
ter are filled. you can still ap•
ply to a host of different pro­
grams for the 1999/2000 se•
mesters. For example. the
program in Beijing. China
specializes in foreign lan­
guages a11d technology while

Funding for Honor Board
Chair
The l-lonor Soard sent an
official proposal 10 ASLC
Council asking for funds 10
give their chairperson a sal­
ary as well as money for of­
fice supplies. Since the lionor
Board has always been a vol­
unteer organization, h was
discussed who would be re­
spo nsi b I e for ;11loca1ing
money for a salary. ASLC
would be responsible for
funding money for omce sup­
plies. bu1 issues regarding of­
ncc~spacc and equipment arc
also auached 10 1ha1. H 1he
Honor Board is academic. it
would be funded from Dean
or 1he College Jane A1kinson's
office. lf1hc Board were 10 use
ASLC's offices and cquip­
mem. then Council would be
responsible for fundjng their
supplies. Discussion arose re­
gardmg who cxacily Honor
Bollrd is nffiliaicd wiih. The
Honor Board believes lhai
since they are providing a scr•
vice 10 1hc s1Uclcn1 body. 1hey
should he funded by ASLC.
The issue was tabled pending
discussion between ASLC
Prcsiden1 Gene Wixson.
A1kinson, and former Vice
Prcsiclen1 of Budget & Fi­
nnnec Ashlee Hill. Some or 1he more popular pro­
grams arc Ecuador. Kenya. Tan­

Lewis & Clark students seem LO enjoy drum c11cles,

moonti1 nights on 1owcr campus.
A £cw weeks ago, there was a surprisingly lorgc lurn­

drowned out COO\'crsations, a.r;; well as each Olhtr, 1n :1
c:uharsis of bass and screams echoing lOward a waning
moon. All skill levels were welcomed and apprcciaied.
Some came 10 lis1cn. 01hcrs came 10 mock. I play the
drums and partook In 1his oddly restive event,
This drum circle may have been unusual for I he big
1umou1, but 11 was not unique. Grow1ng up in $an Fran•

Drum Circle" for many years. The first 1mprcss1on I had
of this type or congregation was 1ha1 ilS theme was 10
become "Mwral," somethmg only vaguely defined and
somewhat synthetic.
About 1hirty years :igo, 1he Hippie movcmcnl devel­

lowing 1hc Grn1cful Dead around the cou111ry, a spiri­
tual awakening wou Id follow. Drum circles became a
V11lued accessory 10 1his lifes1yle, and they remain so
today. The Deadhead cuhure is an example of a struggle
10 find 1den111y through musical culture.
ll is almost as simple ns tlus: young men and womc.n

say 1ha11hc drum circle culture can be harmful psycho­
logically for some. I play drums 10 impress people and
for personal gra1ifica1ion and glory, nol only because I
love doing ii.
Music is. in itscH. a private cnlily. his sep:,~uc from
the cuhure that is produced from il. This cul1ure, de­
fined in clo1hing, colloquial speech and lifestyle, surs
indiviclunls to s1rive for answers Lo questions like, '"Who
am I? Why do I suffer?" and "Why do my parents have
so much money?" If I neglect to wash and sil ma field

lewis & Clark has rccog­
nl::cd the importance of
drawing as an art form m h~
self by creating a separate
drawing program within the
Jrl department. This is the
first yc.,r ror a drawing pro­
gram al LC. Debra Beers, who
mught ar1 classes at LC n few
ytnrs ago. n::n1ms as the di•
rector of Lhc new program.
For years. an professor
• Phyllis Yes taught both pa1m-
1ng and drawing. With many
imercsted students, Lhis was
qllitc • task. "Finally, nflcr
m.any requests for a separate
head of the dr:iwing program,
we found someone,"" Yes said.
After posting 0yers and
ad\•erLisemenlS for the drniw­
ins head position lhe appli­
cants were narrowed done_ to
three extremely qualified can­
didates. The prospective
drawing heads came to LC
and showed slides of their
own -artwork to students.
Debra Beers was chosen as
the most qualified by far.
"The way she talked about
her work and the way her
work looked drew everybody
to her,'" Yes said.
Beers' work will be fea­
tured al an upcoming show
at 1hc Mark Whoolley gallery
in downtown Ponl:md. The
theme of her current work
deals with the llvesofyoung,
homeless people whom she
has known for several years.
About her anwork, Beers
said. ""l use tnntcnnl thnl re ..

Once students are well­
eqmppcd wilh this knowl­
edge, Drawing II ollows them
to study color and the human
figure. •All that they've
!tamed comes together at the
end of Drawing II and allows
I.hem 10 fyecly upress feel­
ings and concerns; Beers
said.
Separating drawing from
sculpture and painting is long
overdue, "because drawing is
important in itse.1[ as a field
of inquiry and smdy." Beers
said. "'Many sec drawing as a
feeder into olher areas but,
fortunately, this lanl depart•
ment understands that draw­
ing is afield of sLudy in ILSCIC"
Yes and Beers are both
planning for the future of the

1ha1 1he plan is always evolving.

Physically, 1hc plan ensures
1he separa1ion of 1he three sec­

pus: 1hc academic quadrangle

J-fc s:,ys 1ha1 Morgan Odell crc­
aied a plan m 1he 1950s, but it
was never .a.c1ecl upon. Scstric
ci1es Stanford as "another good
c•mpus gone awry;• it is hoped
1hal the M,is1cr Plan will prcvem
the s.1me from happening here.
Three values arc guiding 1his
1 nparatc planning, The phlnncrs
env1sion a commumty. idealized a proper space and a, a proper
11111c. These words mean putting
the sc.1enccs together in one
budding and 1he soc1al sciences
in another, just as the humani•
lies have Miller Fiuingly, 1he
plan calls for this 10 be done in
a sus1ain:1b1c way.
Michael Scstric describes LCs
commitment 10 1he. community
as one or basics. The college
should lessen ilS impact on trar­
nc and on waste-water release.
To do this, the college wants 10
I rndc ils cement for grass and
shrubs. Spccillcally, 1h,s means
building a parking sturcture.
This project will consolida1e six
acres or asphalt imo one garage
and push the automobiles 10 1he
edges or campus.
In fact, Scs1riesecs this as 1he
key 10 the college'.s ovcr:tll de•
vclopmen1. He commcnlS 1ha1
ii 1ha1 space is freed up, then
projec~< 10 expand Olin, replace the Lheatre and music
buildings, and building
a smgle social sciences
building can lake place.
Another aspect of
community involves
possibili1lcs. Can LC
combine IIS needs wi1h
those of1hc community? Sestric
believes thal LC could provide
facilities and opportunities for
Portland and that would in tum
bring suppon 10 1he develop·
ment LC wants. He cues the
posslb,lily thal LC could provide
a medium-sized venue for pcr­
fom1ing ans in a new music fa­
cility or lhat 1hc cotnmunily

Another angle towards

1al concerns FaciJ;liCS Planning
must take i.nlO consideration in

he admits that the. environmen­

gully bc1wcen lower campus and
,he residence halls.
Many people arc m1eres,cd in

there, 1he logistics can be
worked out, and if the project is
pnoriuzcd hy 1hc deans and resi­

fornmnicly, ns Scst-ric poinis ou1,
there Is not a "sugar daddy" for

bllildings like Evans may need

10 Pioneer log October 2, 1998 What's good for baseball is good for America
By David Kolek
1 remember cxac1 ly where l
was when 1 made the. now em•
barrassing and cynical predic•
1ion 1.hat no one was going to
break Roger Maris' home run
record during the J 998 baseball
season.
1 was spending a gorgeous
summer afternoon enjoying
America's rcvitahzcd "pastime."
with my brother, As we watched
our hometown team struggle
their way toward yet another late
season collapse, my C)1nicism
rose like the boulc-rockct irajec­
tory of a Chili Davis home run
blast.
That afternoon I told my
brother flot out, with the snouy
arrogance of a three year-old
child, that neither Mark
McGwirc nor s.~mmy Sosa had
the wherewithal to break the
most mythical ol sports records.
1 figured at the time that I was
tna,kinga bold prediction. There were about two monchs left in
the season. but neither player
had hit many bombs of late. To
me, it looked like another case
of too much hype, with not
enough punch to back it up.
Final Totals: McGwirc, 70,
Sosa, 66. My predictions: 0 for
2. Judging by the final totals, I
need 10 throw om my crystal ball
with )'CSterday's putrid garbage.
While in the glow of Mark
McGwire's rousing conclusion of
a phenomenal season last week.
1 began to wonder where my ra­
bid cynicism had come rrom.
Where in the course of my
young and innocent life had I be•
come such a doltbter ol the Great
Dream?
Then IL tame to me, I am
merely a product of I he times.
We live in• notably cynical age.
We don, just doubt our poli­
ticians like they did in the old
clays, we know full well that they
lie to us, and we don't even re•
ally care. Even when the economy docs well, there is al­
ways an expectation that things
will certainly get worse.
I would argue that it is also
the same in the sports world.
What is a fan to do when all
they see arc negative images
emanating from the sports
world? fans wa1ch with dismay
as average players demand as-
1ronomical amounts of money
to play a children's game, then
complain about how hard they
have it. They are neeced by ris­
ing ticket prices and ·conve­
nience charges" when Lhcy try
10 take their families 10 games.
They are disappointed by own­
ers who :uc oul to Lum a profh
rather than to win. Then, when
all the dust clears, more often
than not, they fall victim to the
"portable" franchises 1ha1 have
taken to leaving cities and fans
behind for brighter pastures and
belier luxury box contracts in
new cities despcrntc for major
league SlalUS. It is enough to make any fan,
young or old, stop believing in
the glory of competition. And it
also encourages fans 10 doubt if
there arc any people who still care
about going the extra 1ni1c, or
who push their perfonnance to
the next level.
That was where I was v.1hen I
made my cynical prediction
abom the nature of the homerun
race. In essence my cynical pre•
diction expresses the fear people
have these days about daring 10
believe in anyone anymore.
Why bother? If I dare to be­
lieve in someone, they will only
disappoint me in the end. So I
will beat them to it and not give
them a chance to disappoint me.
Enter lWO exceptional human
beings, not for their strength
which is well measured, but for
lhcir characlcr. I won't bore you
with another leslimonial to how
caring McGwire is for the abused,
or how humble Sosa is about his
·second Stage· status behind McGwire. I will let their work do
the talking for me-
During the last month two
stories have dominated the front
page in this country. One st0ry
was about a weak., dishonest,
and disappointing "leader" in
Washington D.C. who was froth
with filth and lies. The other
story chronicled a legendary. see­
saw baule between 1wo friendly
human beings pushing each
oLher to new heights.
Polls continue to show tha1
Americans just want lhe flrsl
story 10 go away. while the ex­
titcment that has permeated the
tulLUre around the second story
Is sure 10 last for years to come.
Indeed, it will last until an•
other special person comes
along to make believers out or
all of us doubters.
Either way, it is nice to be1ievc:
in the impossible again.
Now if only the Chicago
Cubs could JUSt get a Huie help
in that department too! That
would 1ruly be a miracle.
