Let's rnke a look at how our soci­
ety here in Oregon has changed
~a result or the recent elections.
Well, firs, of all, let's srnn with
Lhe new marijuam1 leg1sla11on.
1he reason why more 1han half
ur the college st udcnts voted in
the llrst place Measure 57 had n
lot of marijuana users scared 1l

them to remember 10 fill out
1hdr voter's rcgisU111ion form,
because the measure fared about
as well in the polls as Bill
Sizemore on a good dny.
The second m:trtJuana law
was harder 10 sell to the public.
Measure 67, which allows the
use or marijuana !or medical pur•
poses within proscribed limns.
barely succeeded, with 54% of the vote. Personally. 1 don\ sec
why mariju:.1n:1 users arc so sup•
ponivc of 1his bill. They basically
support it not because they care
about the pains of those needing
medical relief, but more because
they 1hink it will somehow lead
10 the legalization of marijuana
for all users. Just because
grandma doesn't have to go un­
der the Burnside bridge 10 get her
"medicine" anymore doesn't
mean Lhc rest of us art next.
We're a long way away from ar­
cepung marijuana use as a soci­
ety.
Oregon voters arc obsessed
with two things: private property
and low taxes. Stick a measure
1ha1 has anything remotely to do
w11h either or these two things
,nd you'll get thousands or fonat·
ics wniling in lines outside 1he
polling stations "protecting
themselves• by blowmg every
measure they clon°t like out of the
water.
We even have a curious, pos•
sibly unconstilutional, law here
In Oregon that adds reassurance
th>t no legislation raising taxes
will get through. It's called 1he
double majority clause; slid past
unaware voters several years ago,
this law requires that any legis­
lation on I he bal101 receive more
than 50% of the vote to pass, and
lha, there must also be 50% voter
turnoul. This g1\'CS someone
who doesn't opprove of a new t;,x
measure more of a voice simply
because they choose not to vote
at all f-or example, this spring
In Josephine County, there was
a measure on the ballot asking
for the renewal of llbrnry funds,
so the public librnry could con•
tmuc 0p('r;uing. The me3sure
overwhelmingly passed with the
popular vote. bm, as there wns
not a SO% voter turnout, the li­
brary never received its funding.

http://www.lclark.edu/-piolog Isn't it a bit ridiculous 1hai H
more people had acrnally gone
to the polls and vo1cd no, rais­
ing lhc VOlCT tumom. the mc:a•
sure would have passed?
I didn't imagine that the vote
by mail measure would be as
popular as it wa.~. II passed very
successfully. but I'll bet you this
was because people we.re con•
!used about what 1hc bill was ac-
1Ually proposing- Oregonians do
tend to have that problem. So
much for choice in where }'OU
vole~ now all biennial primary,
general clccLions require voting
by mail This has me upset, not
because I fear somc·onc wmper ...
ing with my ballot. bm because
I alwa)•S loved geuing ,hose ·1
\10tcd! .. stickers aflcr 1 wcm to
the polls. I'm also nol 100 keen
on limiting the ch6icc or where
I can vote. Many people enjoy going 10 the polls, ,md they feel
1ha1 are more actively participat­
ing in government. Why should
we Jorcc them to stay home?
I'm forgcuingsomething. Oh
yes. the cnv1ronmcn1:1l measures.
Mcnsure 64 fo1lccl mtscrably.
w1uch isn·1 surpnsing~ e:vcn the
cnvironmcn1alisls admitted that
It was a poorly wrlucn bill. Or•
egon voters would never in a
million years support something
as extreme as measure 64~ re•
strictivc rcgulaLions and prohi­
bition of many present timber
harvest practices. We arc still
convinced by those wondcdul
commercials on television from
the timber comp,mies that reas­
sure us that nccs :.ire a rencwnblc
resource. so we might ns well let
them log the hell ou1 of our for­
ests. The other environmental
law passed, only h<ec"use louery money was usc<l 10 rund our
parks, not privruc dollars. \.Vhc,n
you ask an Oregonian if he"d
rn1he1· hnve Crater Lake or $5.00
more a year per $20.000 or prop­
erly value, he'll politcJy ask you
H it wouldn't be 100 much
trouble to move the monument
lO anmher state.
So the clcc1 ions arc over for
this year. The people or Oregon
have spoken. telling the govern­
ment that they aren't going 10 le,
.. them ... take our money or our
land. We let Salem know we
don't give a damn ir our forests
arc consumed. not for benefit
here in our state, but 10 be stored
unproccs.secl in 1he seas off the
coast or Japan. If this year~ bal­
lot is a re0cc1ion or what citizens
foci is imponan, in Oregon, we
might as well ignore all Western
political though since the 1600s.
-LETTERS TO THE EDITOR---
An open letter to
President Mooney
Deur President Mooney.
As you arc aware. a large ma•
jorily of the janitors hereat Lewis
6r Clark have signed a pctluon
asking their employer, Skyline
Building Maintenance, 10 recog­
nize their union. We, the under•
signed Faculty or Lewis and Clark
College, MC writing to request
that, as Skyline's employer, 1hc
College urge the company lo rec­
ognize the janttors· union
Our rationale 1s three-fold.
Fust. workang condi11ons for
Lewis 6r Clark prmors ore sub­
s1andard. The problems include
low w3gcs, limned access to
hcahh care, the fact that workers
arc required 10 take lunch breaks
in their supply closets, and a cli­
mate or £car and intimidation,
highlighted by the recent firing
or two employees who actively
supported the union. While Sky­
line has promised to remedy
some of these problems, they are
clearly domg so under the threat
of union organizaLion. There is
s1rongreason to believe 1ha1 with·
out a union in place.and once the
glare of publicity has passed. the
company will once again be able
to rt:rnrn to its past practices.
Secondly. unions arc impor­
tam democratic institutions.
When given the opportunity 10
elect 1heir own leaders, 10 bargain
collec1ivcly with management
over working conditions, and to
communicate gric\,ances without
fear of retaliation, workers expe•
rience both the promises and
challenges of democrntic gover•
nance on a daily basis, Such lo­
cal, participatory civic experi­
ences are crucial 10 the hcahh of
our community, as they fonn the
basis needed for a broader demo•
cra1ic society 10 nourish.
Finally, as educators, one of
our primary educational missions
is to instill in our students a sense
of civic responsibility. As one e.,.
ample, we ask them to 1akc a class
called Inventing America. ln ii,
we struggle to commumcate the.
tremendous risks and sacrifices
made by the founders. how pro•
foundly 1ibcra1ing the invention
of selr-governancc first was in ,he
18th century, and how this excit­
ing experiment has cominued to unfold over the course of our his-
10ry.
The pnnors a1 Lewis and
Clark College-mos1ly 1mmi•
grant women-prcsem an insptr­
ing example or 1h1s 1ra<li11on.
They know 1ha1 they arc literally
risking their jobs simply by osk­
ing for our help to Invent their
own small democratic institution
in Americ,: a local chapter of a
janitors· union. Failing t<> support
them would be deeply inconsis­
tent with our anempLS 10 culti­
vate n sense of the importance or
civic par11cipa11on, and the rights
and responsib1l1t1cs of democratic
sclr-govcrnancc.
Thank you for your cons1dcr­
a1ion or 1his import3nl matter.

Technology
author mistaken
I read wHh intcrtsl your com•
mentary on technology here at LC.
It might have been useful for you
to contact me for clarification be~
fore you finished the piece. While
l share your zeal for 1he useful
application or 1echnology, there
. are tunes for data pro;ecllon. and
lhere arc tlmc.s when an overhead
projector is the preferred solu1ion. While the transparencies used
by Curtis Johnson we.re nol the
best. I've seen somr pro£essors
prdcr them. It should be noted
that the projector used "".is brnnd
new and utilized the latest in high
lumen lamp technology. All sys­
tems were requested by IA :rnd
worked perfectly.
President Mooney had slides
and prc!errcd 10 use them as they
are or higher resolution lh;in 1hat
which a data projector can ref}rO•
duce. To my knowledge he has no
aversion 10 higher tech methods
o/ -,,rojcction bu1 he may believe
1haL using such technology for it.s
own sake IS not a good enough
reason todoso. ltshoulJ be noted
thai Or. Mooney did use an AMX
wireleS-s remote to :idvam.:e slides
projected lrom Kodak's lotcst
,node I. 1hc AFlll. Agam, ,he tech­
nology rc<1uested was appropnaie
and it l0<> worked 0awlessly.
As for the Council Chamber,
you are correct that rhe Crestron
remote con110I system locked up.
It Is new, recently ins1alled 10 al­
low studcnlS such as yourself to
run videos, DVDs, CDs and mi­
crophones without having a sup­
port person on hand. A brownout
in Templeton earlier in the day
caused several CPU controlled
systems 10 foil, including this unit,
something that we did not learn
or until after the damage was
done. this type or control is rn use
in 6 other 1cchnologirnlly en­
hanced space., throughout campus
and work 0awlessly 99.9% of the
1ime. As with any technology, per­
rection is elusive. Faculty and stu•
denLS alike love these systems and
the learning process has improved
as a result, som<1hing you failed
to mention in your anicle..
The difficulty with nn unwil•
ting commentary such as yours is
that it can kad people 10 believe
that such technologies as arc now
being installed -across campus arc
too complex or unrdi::tblc to uti•
lize. As a result, gelling hmdmg
to £urther improve 1hesc resources
becomes problematic. Knocking
lnmuctional Media Service's c[.
forts 10 improve technologies such
as those in Council Chamber or
the Chapel does nothing 10 further
the cause, it only makes things
more dimcuh.

Biking doesn't have 10

You can shower and keep n
change of clothes m n locker
in Pamplin, available free to all
LC students and faculty (ask
nt the cage). If you hate get­
Ling wee. you may want lO in­

addition, you can t•ke bikes
on all Tri-Met buses and MAX
trains with a bike permh fi­
nally, don't forget 1bc time

0Jrs TOO DANGEROUS."
Proper cqutpmcn1. and a
,vell-planned route make. bik•
mg a safo al1ernative 1.0 dnv­
lng. Be sure to wear a helmel
a1 all nmes. Bright clothing,
blinking reflectors, headlights
oand re0ectlve tape. are inex ..
pensive and make you more
visible 10 cars. A bike map will
hdp you fmd the safest roads.
ana you may even find a route
which leis you avoid cars com•
pletely (such as the Sellwood
rouie through 1he graveyard).
One such map is provided by
the Portland Bureau of Traffic
Management and is available
through the City of Ponland
Bicycle Program (823--CYCL),
or at most bike shops,
"rM NOT ATHLETIC ENOUGH."
Anyon·e can bike, ll may
take. you more umt al ffrsl
than it does after a few
monrhs, but you don't have.to
be a super,athlete 10 bike com­
mute. The best way to prove
this to yourself is to bike con-sistemly for a fow weeks. You'll
find that you qurcklyimprove,
and what Wl!S a challenge at
firs, will be no problem la,~r
A side effect or biking for
iransponauon Is tha1 it keeps
you in grcar slrnp~ave your­
self time and cycle to school
instead of going 10 the gym!
Finally, don't worty tf you have
to walk your bike up steep
hills. ll's not a contest, jus1 go
at a pace that's right for you.
"I OON'T HAVE AU.
THAT FANCY lQUIPMEHT."
Sure. computerized odom­
eters. shocks, and fancy
saddlebags can make IHc
easier, and ma.y be word1 u for
serious cyclisis, but you don,
need 10 buy ever)• gadget on
the block befor.c you can bike
commute. llas,cally, a reliable
bike, a helmet, a strong lock.
and a backpack are all you re•
ally need 10 bike to school.
Many people also like to have
ftnders, a rack, and safety ac­
cessories like lighis. but you
can make do with very liulc if
you have to.
"Ir's HO FUN."
You'll find 1ha1 biking regu•
larly is a great stress reliever.
By the tlmc you ge1 to school,
you'll be relaxed and awake.
Finding a friend ro bike with
is another goQd way 10 make
your morning ride enjoyable.
and will help 10 motivate you
as well. !liking is a grcat way
to mee1 people, especially ff
you participate in the LC Bike

Overtones fill chapel with the power of music
by Colin Ryono
The Overtones. Lewis &
Clark's new a cappella singing
group, walked confidenLly in
single file 10 the front of the
chapel Monday evening for their
debut concert. A very large
crowd was in auendancc. in•
duding 1he LC student commu­
n,lty, faculty, and beyond. All
barefoot. they wore ldcn1ical
long-sleeved earth-toned shins,
wi1h their logo (six dancing
Matisse-like figures encircling
1heir name) and the following
Virginia Woolf quote on the
back: "Music wakes us. Music
makes us see the hidden.join the
broken. Look and listen." The
concert was amazing. te:asing out
joyous smiles from everyone by
the end. If only for a hour or so,
one could escape and drif1 away
lrom the daily doldrums and
immcr~ in the beau1y of 1hese six voices singing 10gether.
The Overtones were founded
by students Eileen Adair and
Lim Smith, who were joined (by
oudition) by Aleta Dunne, Nat
Keefe, Bryan Pyle, and Erik
Yates. "l was disappointed by the
lack of small group ensembles in
the music depanment," Adair
said after the show, regarding the
founding the group, "The power
of a fow voices can be incredible.
I know there's a lot of talented
people here." As an a cappdla
group, they have no accompani•
ment, save for Adair's pitch pipe
and the snapping of fingers.
Yates mentioned backstage that
while a few of 1heir songs were
learned from sheet music, many
others were pulled from records
and adapted to the voices of 1he
group. Some might look like im­
provlsa1ion (like the backing
rhy1hms of the songs), but ex­
cluding the Improvisational pieces, Vales assured that every•
thing else is t0tally planned.
The show began with an ex­
cellent rendition of George
Michael's "Faith," with Dunne
evidently having particular fun
wilh the song's familiar chorus.
A song implanted firmly and
fondly in our memories, it was
the pc.rfec1 choice to open the
show, occasionally eliciting
friendly giggles from the crowd.
After the first number, Adair in­
troduced 1he member.; in a de­
ligh1fully unconvenLional man­
ner: asking what substance each
of the members would like to
drown in. Their repenoire
ranged from tht contemporary
(Billy Joel, Tracy Chapman, and
James Taylor) to 1he mditional
(1hc very familiar and moving
"Lean On Me") to lht interna­
tional (songs from South Africa
a.nd Zimbabwe).
The group also incorporated ,,-----

'' two improvisa1ional numbers
into their program. The first was
a song circle. Each of the sing­
ers took turns telling the others
what to sing-developin.g a par­
ticular phnse or vocal rhythm.
Then the leader of the moment
would Improvise above all, vir­
tt1ally given free reign to puU in
any tune. The ~cond was a word
improvisation. The Overtones
asked 1he audience to give them
a word or two for improvisation;
they settled upon the word
"cashew" and concocted a mar-velously enLhusiastic creation m
the moment.
Their final number of the
nighl was the melancholy and
touching "Lonesome Road" by
James Taylor. The Overtones fin­
ished to raucous and ecstatic
applause from the very apprecia•
tive audie.nce, demanding an
encore. Af1er a momentary
huddle backstage, Adair
emerged and pointed out that
they had nothing left to sing.
However, she proposed that the
audience join them in another
song circle. The crowd was sepa­
rated into three parts and a unity
of voice: and emotion was cre­
ated that could doub1fully be
repliealed. Everyone Joined in
1he singing, incorpora1ing other
elements into the tune as indi­
viduals saw fi1. It was a true
privilege 10 see lhe debut con­
cen of such a wonderful musi­
cal group.

The Lewis &: Clark crew
teams fall race season came to a
dima.ctic ending last Sunday, al
the "Head of the Lake" regalia
in Sca11ic, Washington. Both the
women's and mcn'.s crews had n
compc,itivc showing against
schools such as the University or
Wash., Stanford, and Western
\Vashing1on University. /\II LC
boats pulled fine times and
showed enormous potcntiai for
the comingsprmgspnm season.
Of worthy note was the men's
open-weight Vars11y four wluch
took 51 h out of I 7 in its category.
Beating teams from WSU, PLU.
and the University of Oregon,
t hdour was only 11 seconds be­
hind the 4th place boat of West­
ern Vv'ashington -a very small
time difference in a 5-kilomctcr
race. Not used LO bemg beaten
by a school of LC's size, some
teams were ovuhcard saying
things such as, "Who the heck
arc they, and how did they bea1
us?" ,,----------­
We're very pleased, after working so hard,
that we placed as well as we did. I feel that
everyone rowed to the best of their ability,
and I think we did so well because we had an
excellent coach, James Kohn, who pushed us
through the season.
Michael Folland -----------,,
Michael Folland, who rows 2-
seat in the Varsily four. said,
"We're very pleased. after work­
ing so hard, 1ha1 we placed as
well as WC did. i reel that every­
one rowed ,o ,he best of I heir
ability. and I think we did so well
because we had an excellent
coach.James Kohn, who pushed

and great coaching on the part
of Anne Silbernagel, they were able 10 chop over 2.5 minutes ofT
of theirl997 1ime, making the
race a success, , hough some or
the rowers were not quite satts­
ficd wuh Lhcir pcrformr,ncc.
Jamie Borion, member of the
women's Varsity eight said, "I
know that we were all pulling
hard, hut II just didn't snap 10•
