Flu cripples campus

Ehrlich urges students to combine learning with community service
by Gene Wixson
Early this month, Dr. Thomas
Ehrlich. senior scholar at The
Carnegie Foundation for 1hc Ad-
1·anccmen1 or Teaching, spoke
with a group of students, staff and
lacuhy from Lc,vis & Clark and
other area institutions about the
b,nefi1s and challenges or linking
kaming with communily work.
According 10 Ehrlich, service­
learning mvolvcs three compo-nems: regular and on-going com­
munity work, Lhc integration of
this work into a rigorous course
currituJum. and intentional reflec•
tion about the: experience and re•
lationship.
Ehrlich feels that all three of
these clements arc necessary, im•
portant, and can enh,mcc the aca­
demic learning or any educational
institution. He gave a number or
examples of how community ser•
vice could be integrated into <:lass-room work to enhance 1hc learn•
ing experience.
Dr. Ehrlich has held several
academic posts in his career,
among 1hem President of Indiana
University, n public school of
100,000 studcms. He noted that
liberal ans colleges arc uniquely
suited to incorporate service learn•
ing into their curriculum.
Convinced that service-learn•
ing was the way to educate a new
generation o[ civic leaders. Ehrlich returned to the c1assroom. Cur­
rently. he splits his tune between
the C.~rnegic Foundation and his
posilion as Oisringuishcd Scholar
with the California State Univer­
sity system.
Ehrlich's professional experi­
ence makes him qualified 10 speak

The truth behind snow days
by Antonia Giedwoyn
Ah, there's nothinq quite
like the excitement which !ills
the air when snow ls glimpsed
on campus. Actually, there's
nothing quite like lhc excite­
ment which fills the air when
snow is glimpsed on campus
on a wccl1day. As white Oakes
cascade lo ,he ground, hope
becomes infectious, a.nd one
question reverberates through
the collcc1ive LC mind: Will
classes be canceled tomorrow?
or1en student fantasies or CO·
joying a day off are confronted
wilh a disappointing •no" Lo
the aforementioned question.
What exactly constitutes a
snow clay, and who makes the
final decision?
To begin with, when snow
or sleet, floods, wind, or an)•
unusual weather is visible on
Palatine Hill, Campus Safety
momtors weather conditfons
m an attempt to assess poten•
lial danger. including the like­
lihood that mdividuals clnvmg 10 campus would be at nsk. If they
dc1enninc conditions 10 be unsare,
Campus Safety calls Pres,dent
Mooney prior to 6 am the morning
ol a possible closure.
Based on the mformauon re­
ceived from Campus Safety,
Mooney (or Secretary or the Col­
lege Mervyn Brockett, ,rMooncy is
unavailable) decides whether or
not 10 close the college. Once a fi­
nal decision has been reached,
Campus Sare,y notlfies Jean
Kempe-Ware, Director of Pubhc
Relations, who then updates LC's
snow line.
Ne.xi Kempe-Ware telephones
Brian Lawrence, Communicatlons
Systems Supervisor and the man re­
sponsible for sending an an­
nouncement 10 all campus phones
witb voice mail in the event of a
closure. Following <h1>, Kempe­
Ware calls 1he media, and Cam­
pus Safety notifies various college
employees and officials.
Docs a specific amount of snow
indicate whether the college will
close or remain open? According
10 Kcmpe•Warc. there exists no such gener.il rule. "Lewis &
Clark's philosophy is 1ha1 we
remam open unless conditions
are so severe thal we h;we to
close ... Snow itself will not
close a campus, the campus
only closes if danger exisLS. It's
the danger factor that's signifi­
cant.'"
or course, sometimes 1he
amount or snow and po1enlial
danger (and thus the chances
that classes will be canceled)
are proportional, which may
explain 1he exubcra.ncc often
folt by students al the sight of
snow on Polaline Rlll.
So, if O"f is sacl due 10 the
wa.rmer weather plaguing cam•
pus this 1iO:e or year, take heart:
it'sslill only February, nnd Pon­
land often receives snow and
ice as late as March. Hence, ii
is possible to experience an LC
wimer wonderland this semes­
ter. And for the severely snow•
starved there's always Mt.
Hood, a mere hour and a half
away• it's rumored that 1herc's
still some snow up there. ==============Arts=========:::i:.Pi:=:'o.,,,,n==e==er=L==o:::!;g__h

basketball
earns
important
victory
by Kim Howard
The women's Pioneer
basketball team earned an­
other mark in the "W" col­
umn with a strong win
against Seanlc University
last Friday night. The cru­
cial win of 72-62 bumped
the Pioneers up one spot in
the Northwest Conference
rankings. The Pins domi­
nated from the beginning.
starting with a tall lineup
and high-pressure defense.
With buckets made by
Gwen Forrest and Chris
Kreger, the team began the
offensive charge. Other of­
fensive efforts by Lauren
Dunmgan, Yuuki Terrada.
and Kasha White put the
P!os ahead with a comfort­
able half-time lead of 4 I -
31.
During the second half
of play, Sea11le stayed even
with LC, but could not
muster enough to over­
come the ten-point deficit.
Although a few players for
Seanlewere in double-digit
scoring figures, it was not
a ntatch for the many con­
tribuuons from the eourc
LC team.Jenelle Braun and
Ryan Hedemark joined the
ranks pmting points on ~
board, and calm play un­
der defensive pressure al­
lowed the Pios 10 be victo­
rious after the bunerrang.
Tcrrada was proud of the
team effort and said. •Ev­
eryone contributed 10-
nigh1. and ifs great when a
win belongs 10 every player
on the team."
Forrest shined Friday
night, ending a top-notch
perforn1ance with high 21
points and 9 rebounds.
Kreger added an impres­
sive 18 points, 8 boards
and 6 steals. while Terrada
finished the night with 9
points from three-point
baskets.
In other news, the
women played a tough
game the following
evening against Pacific
Lutheran. with a final score
of 65-33. Although it was
a disappointing loss, excel­
lent mfautts were comrib­
uted by individual Pios.
Jenelle Braun recorded a
high score of 10 points.
and had high rebounding
for the Pios with 8 boards.
The Pioneers travel 10
George Fox University 10
battle the Bruins, and to
Pacific University 10 bash
the Boxers this Frid~y and
Smmlay night. Tip-off for
both games is scheduled
for 6 pm. The women hope­
to return home victorious,
bumping up yet another
spot in the rankings. Fans thrill to Trailblazer home opener
Portland's pro basketball
team aims to please as
they start their lockout­
delayed season
by Dusty Holden
As the s1,1dium darkened, the
fans roared, and the loudspeaker
boomed, I could feel the excite•
ment build inside of me. I was
born :, Blazer fan and 1 was
thrilled 10 be at thdr 1999 home
opener against the Indiana Pac­
ers
Next 10 me sat my Saudi Ara•
bian roommate. Sultan. whose
only experience with basketball
had been kicking mine around
the dorm room. Even though he
didn't fully understand the
game, he was entertained and
intrigued by these amazingly ac­
robatic athletes.
This was only the second
NBA g;,mc I had ever seen in per­
son. I was a linJe skeptical H the
time. money and effort l was in•
vesting would be wotth it. After
all. I was spending o considcr­
abk amount of money from my
tmtion-drained budge1. and I
was takmg a lorge chunk of time
out of a busy college schedule.
These feelings of doubt were
soon erased.
After ,he first quarter, I felt as
if there were few other ploccs on
Eanh that I would have rather
been. Damon "Mighty Mouse•
Stoudamire darted through l he
defense, distribuLing and scoring
the ball at will. He sank some
running, off-balanced shots over crowds of b,g men. My pw was
hangmg wide open. Thts sev­
emy-seven mdlion•dollar mag1-
crnn seemed 10 be Lhe key 10 the
Blazers' success. Even more 11n­
ponan1 than sconng. Stouda­
mue gOl the entire team mvolved
wtth his court vision, unselfish
play and exceptional p:ossmg
skills. His pass-first•and•shoot•
second mentalhy created easy
opportunities for his teammates.
This kind of leadership from
a superstar is crucial if the Blaz­
ers arc to have realistic hopes of
a title run. The addition of Jim
Jackson and the return of scv•
eral key Blazers from last season
gives the fans a reason to be op•
timistic. Critics around the
league agree that, on paper, they
have one of the deepest and most
1ale111ed teams in the It.ague. The
respect isn't all there yet because
the young team still has 10 prove
itself.
With their home opener, the
Bla.zers took a huge first step to•
ward earning I hat much-desired
respect from the league. They
finished on top by a score of I()().
92. Former Celtic star and Pacer
coach Larry Bird said with a sigh,
'"It wasn't that close of a game.··
The Blazers took the lead late in
the first quancr for good at I 9-
17 whh a close. spinning shot
from Isaiah Rider. He finished
the night with 26 points and tl
boards, Stoudamire pumped in
23 points and dished out mne
assists. The starting backcoun
excelled, but it in the words or
Stoudamire, "Tonight was a team
effort." PltOfO C"OLl!m.lY POfOlAND TIWl.llAZlRS
Isaiah Rider was the lead
scorer in Portland's victory
over the Pacers Feb. 10.
Portland's defensive style has
a new look this year using a foll
court press most or the ume.
Even though the up-tempo game
allowed some easy. quick baskelS
for the Pacers, it helped the Bh\Z­
crs more than ii hun them. This
style should benefit the young,
athlttic Blazers all season long.
Prior to the game, I was curi­
ous as to how the city of Pon•
land would rean 10 its Blazers.
and the rest of the NBA lockout.
It was a scllou1 crowd and the
cnihusiasm sc::cme<l to grow as
the Blazers' lead over the Pacers
grew. The entire Blazer organi­
;z:;1,lion sccmc<l to be committed
10 winning the loyalty of their
fans back. The night"s theme.
which was printed on key chains
given out at the door and on the
T-shirts worn by staff members,
proclaimed. "Blazer fans you are
simply the best." ,, __ _
The entire Blazer
organization
seemed to be com­
mitted to trying to
win the loyalty of
their fans back. ____ ,,
Pre•game introductions were
also dcd1ca1ed 10 fans. Eoch
Blazer player was introduced
and escorted omo the coun with
a season 11ckei holder. Speakmg
over the public address system
just before tip-off. forward Brian
Grant dedicated the season tQ
fans and apologized on behalf of
lhc cntlre organizanon. Ano1her
season ticket holder 1ossed ,he
ball into the air for an honorary
opening 1lp. As planned. the ball
fell untouched in from of the
players. h was a somewhat ri­
diculous dry run for the real lip
a rcw moments later. The whole
campaign was a little corny, but
ii was also probably necessary
and backed with good intcn•
1ions. h never hurts to say you're
sorry.
II the Blnzcrs really wam to
make amends with fans, there is
one more option they might
want to think about. As I noted
before, Sultan. my friend from
Saudi Arabia. enjoyed the game
immensely, but that didn\ stop
him from choking on the S3.50
cost of his tub of popcorn.
"In my opinion."' he said, "is
very 100 much."
LC track and field starts the season fast
The Pios show their depth
as they compete at home
in the first meet of the
season
by Marisa Quinn
The Lewis & Clark track and
field team competed well in the
l999 Winter Open last Saturday.
Feb. 13. Five teams attended thC'
non-scoring meet, accompanied
by a handful of unanached and
club runners.

regular distances run, and other
strategics that went along wnh
Samrday's competition. An ex­
ample or this is the 100-meier
dash being replaced by the 55.
me1er dash or the 300-metcr
dash. This gave the athletes the
opportunity 1ocompe1e with dif­
fere111 s1ra1cgies. The changes
didn't faze the athletes who ea­
gerly awaited the competition.
Team goals centered around im­
proving on marks from the be­
ginning of last season.
The LC men·s team entered
the season's first meet with en­
thusiasm. Lee Thomas and Dan
Reichenbach worked together in
1 he throw events. Thomas
placed 5th in t.hc shot put and
7th in the disctts, Reichenbach
placed 8th in the shot put and
6th m the 35-pound weight
