overwhelming queslion of 1hc
day seemed 10 be: "Why docs he

quesuon by defining the process

one passionate Sl u<lcnl smd.
In a reply lha1 was la ken sev­
eral different ways, A1k,nson
sa,d. "A tenured professor has
ccrttun cxpc<:Li\Lions. The Col­
lege docs no, base hs h1ring
strategics on ,vho has success in
the classn>om." Senior Netta Van Vliet confronts President Mooney and
Dean Atkinson about the continuing janitor issue. Van Vliet
believes the LC administration should support the janitors'
right to unionize.
Mooney replied to the debate
la1cr by supporting Alkinson's
stance. • I Dean A1kinson 1 is
holding up principles the faculty
decided ort years ag<>." he said.
Mooney emphasized that LG is
known for pulling equal weight
on a professor's research abilily
and leaching obility. whereas
mosl large universities only fo­
cus on a professor's ability 10 gel
published.
He wem ,111 10 say that this
particular decision belongs to
the faculty and not 1he students.
Mooney also said I hat whc:n Slu-heat up the mosl a1 thi.s poim m
the forum. Oncs1uclcnt directed
a statement al. Mooney and
Atkinson in parucular: "You :111
should be careful i[ you wanl 10

don·, feel like we're being lis-
1cned 10," she sa,d.
Junior Colin fleck followed
up that slatement, saying. "I

This is not vision. This is follow­
ing I he lead.''

After 1hcsc commems, the
forum turned wwards :m tssuc I hat has been on LC's plate for
several months: the Justice for

Students touched on 1he

tors have been 100 afraid 10 lalk

The final issue raised in 1he
forum was from LC's residcn1
dancers. They reinforced their
pka of geuing a dance space a,
the college. something for which
many campus groups are asking.

For the average LC SLU­
den1, the world or administrn­
ti vc policy-making is
shrouded in mystery Often,
students are only c><poscd to
policy when new decisions
indirectly trickle down lo I he
their kvcl. The faculty policy
concerning I he stasis of Vis­

example, and the student re­
action clearly shows that stu­

Vls11mg Professors' con1rac1s
are continually renewed,
somcnmes keeping them on
for years, filling successive
temporary posnions.
In 1997. the Academic
Council, comprised or 1he
chairs of each department,
developed a policy 1ha1 iden­
tifies the college's posltlon
regarding tenure track and
Visiting Professors. As ii was
described in the minutes from
the SAAB meeting, "Retaining
a person beyond this time (6
years) creates undue compli­
cations including denial or
benefits enjoyed by tenure­
line faculty and the increased
dependence or the depart­
ment on 1.hat individual."'
The policy was developed
last year, according to O~n
Atkinson. in order LO estab­
lish a way to "regularize [ac­
uity appointmcntS." rarher
than relying on the case-by­
casc po hey of I he pasl. It states 1ha1 factthy not hired

have their contracts renewed
for a period of up 10 three
years. Further renewal or 1l1c
Visi1ing Professor's contract is
subject to annual rcvlew, not
10 exceed a total of six years.
In the minutes £rom Lhc
December 3rd, 1997 faculty
meeting. which arc posted on
the college's web site, the
polity is cxplainccl as follows:
"The aim of Academic Coun­
cil Is U) avoid s,amng what

this policy. The positions of

In celebration of the ac­
complishments of reuring

Koont, the depanmem has
orga1112ed a philosophy sym­
posium. The.symposium wi II
feature issues 1ha1 have been
central to Koont's teachmg
and research. namely Marx­
ism and e.nv1ronmentalism.
Entilled "Using, Abusing, or
Preserving the l!arth: Who
Owns the Environment?" the
symposium is a result of the
combined elTons or the Phi­
losophy department, 1he Phi­
losophy club, and fonding
from the Pamplin Foundation
and ASLC. It will explore
themes of nature and sodal
justice by addressing th,:
queslions that arise from the
con[rontation or Marxism
with Lhe environmental crises
we face now and in the com­
ing millennium.
The symposium program
will consist or IWO lectures, at
l0:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and
a panel discussion al 7 p.m.
The Philosophy Department
has invited Professor Laura
Westra to speak in the mom­
i ng and Professor David
Schweickart forthcaf1cmoon
lecture. Westra, a philosophy
pro[i:ssor from Toronto, has
a reputation for being a 'deep
environmemalist.' She be­
lieves that Marxists and en­
vironmentalists are in the
same camp, wagi·ng war
against capitalism and the
havoc it wreaks on the cnvi-ronmc.ni. She secs a similar­
ity between the Marxist spirit
and the enviTonmcnlalist
ethic of integrity. ln her lec­
ture, entilkd "The Business
of Consumption and the Eth•
ics of lntcgri1y: Marx, Capi-
1a1ism and Environmcm/
Westra will highlight the folly
or consumerism, as well as
the insufficiency or a purely
anthropocentric ideology in
the creation of a stable eco­
sySlem.
The other speaker. David
Schwcickan, proressor or phJ­
losoph)' a1 Loyola U□ivcrsity,
who has focused his studies
on social and economic
theory. He has auihored sev­
eral books on bo1h socialism
and lhc relatlon of ethics to
the economy. Schwelckart~
presentation, entitled "Not
with a Bang, but a Whimper:
Capilalism, Socialism, and
the Environment." will be
more focused on Marx and
socialism than Westra's. pro•
posing an alternative lo capi­
talism in "democratic social•
ism.· Schweickan will also
relate his alternative eco•
nomic system to the environ•
mental question.
The evening will conclude
with a panel discussion on
1hc issues raised by both pre•
sentations. Members of the
panel include Chuck Gilomer
(associate professor of eco­

Mooney and Atkinson sal
side-by-side and looked very
much hkc the roles they play­
Mo,nmy Dean and Daddy Presi­

but if you weren't present just
ask one of yo11r friends 10 con•
f1m1 1he following dialogue:

about our visiting professor

This is what was acwally said.
Well. not exactly, but I definitely
gol the reeling 1ha1 chis is what
they were trying to cell us. There
are so1ue strong parallels be­
tween Mooney and Atkinson~s
conduc1 and the classic parental
role-playing. l could hardly be­
lieve it when Mooney actually
said, "1 don't mean 10 be condc­
sccndi ng. l>u1 ... • or when
Atkinson happily pu1 her foo1 in

teaching is not the most impor•
tam part of being a prolcssor.
Maybe not where you went to
school, Mom. but the American
Dream is !or your children 10 get
a better education than you
co11ld.
There were other aspects of
1his forum that reminded me or
my youth. Like when Mooney,
now masquerading as 111)' high
school debate coach, said. •1 am "cry impressed by everybody's
argumc111s here today." Or
maybe he was crying to sound
like a high sehool principal, who
knows? Most reminiscent of au­
Lhority figures from age ten was
Mooney's shirking of responsi•
bili1y, insisting 1ha1 he has noth­
ing 10 do wi1h personnel deci­
sions e"cn 1hough he has final
approval.
The point is nol tha, Mooney
and Alkinson were trying to
masquerade as our parents. even
though they did a damn fine job
of ii (lsn\ that why we came 10
college, 10 get away from our
1>aren1s:). The real point is that,
like the proverbial parents. 1hcy
were not listening. They mighl
have been hearing our words
(and 1hal°s dcba1ablc), but they
were not listening, This forum
wasn\ the first or only lime this
has happened. How many ol you
know about all of 1he s1udcn1

don't. Thats because nobody has

miuce•mcmbcrs who 1ry 10 say
somcll1ing really aren't paid al•

Atkinson kept rcpeaiing 1ha1
there were rnany factors 1ha1 go
into Lhcir decisions, which we
couldn't possibly understand
because we hadn't read I he ap•

s11ch. Did they offer 10 tell 11s
how 10 get • copy of the policy
or what i I says? or course. not;
like good children we should
just accept what our parents tell
us.
The unfortunate thing about

Jewish Student Union

The Jewish Smclen1 Union of
Lewis & Clark has seen bc11er

steadily decreasing s111cc the

a particularly religious cam­

The organized grot1p Chris­

who identify themselves as
practicing Christians, regard­

tempts 10 provide a variety or
activities that can reach a
broad participant base.
"Christian Fellowship
unites Christians on campus
and provides a sense or belong•
ing and support. You know
that people support you in
how you live your life and the
decisions you make," said
group coordinator Alicia Gil­
bert when asked about Cf's
purpose. She wc.nt on LO men­
tion that the group does not
lose many members, and ex­
traordinary numbers of people
who become involved as fresh­
men slay involved through
graduation.
People have various rcasoits
for attending CF meetings in
a variety of ways. For Gilbert,
she had been a Bible study
leader at her home church in
Illinois buL was unsure how
her failh would express itscl[

Christian college like George
Fox but decided 10 challenge

nyerin her mailbox during new
student orientation. she al­
tended a meeting. "I just knew
that ii [ch right. As a freshman,
several upper class students
took me under their wings and
really provided mentoring. Even
though I have had significant
s1ruggles. the group has really
made me stronger," said Gilbert.
While many or the club ac­
tivities arc designed as social
functions to support believers,

put ii, •a religiotts school ,1ugh1

cha1,el was built, Eval1$ Audi­

The project, already under­

the college occurred, w~,s noL

ter pbn similar to the onl" cur•

was followed shorily by 1he

Religion at Lewis & C
Earth religions present, though not prevalent at LC
by Linnea Jean Thompson
There arc many religions in
1his world, but few or 1hcm arc
practiced on 1he Lewis & Clark
campus. Among these diffcrcn1
spiritual philosophies arc the
various forms of Earth Religions.
Jus1 10 take a glance around the
LC campus, one might nol Ice
few signs of pagan ac1ivi1y. There
is no organized pagan group on
campus, ,ind 1he few pagans on
campus tend to be unobtrusive
in their practices. However, LC
docs lu1vc a few avid followers
or non-traditional fonns of spiri­
tuality.
Manhew "Buzzy• Nielsen is
a Wiccan, although he says 1hat
he docs not follow II exac1ly.
Wicca is a.11 Earth Religion based on ancien1 Celtic bclids and
practices. They believe m cilhcr
lWO dcmes ora single dci1y whh
very clear cluahty, Lha1 is, ehhcr
a God and a Goddess or a Single
Deny w11h distinct male and re­
male facets. In his own words.
\Vicca is "a resurgence of dru·
id1c religion minus some funda­
mentals from ,he onginal and
,hat adds aspec1s that make 1hc
rclig,on more applicable now."
Nielsen used lO be an active
pracmionc.r, but he has been
unable 10 rind a nearby sect wi1h
which to pracllcc. He docs not
consider LC to be unrriendly to
W1ccans, although he did note
that there aren't many here.
Following a ditrerent, non•
ma111strcain spirituality, Jeff Crowl IS a pagan, This means
1ha1 he £allows an old European
rchg1on ln which the gods and
nature arc intrinsically linked. In
his religion, one can better un•
demand divinity by obscrvmg
Nature, as well as the cycles and
processes of Life. Since ,heir be­
lief system says 1ha1 Nature is a
divine creation, ii follows that
Pagan's can then bcuer under•
stand the divine by observing ii,
much as one can better under•
stand an artist through his or her
artwork.
Although Crowl docs not
practice with any group. he isan
ac1ive-prac1itionc.r, bclicvmg that
worship is something 1ha1 yo11
<tr<, not something 1hat you tlo.
Mc says his spiritual path is one of constant cvolmion. As far as
day 10 clay involvement with
Paganism goes. he practices
tnagick as nccdcd. and tries lo
do daily meditations and train•
ing exercises.
Crowl said he generally re­
ceives :1 positive response from
her students and faculty with
regard 10 his unique religious
prac1iccs. He recalls one mo•
ment however, ,\/hen a woman
questioned his belief system.
"One girl with wholl'I I was talk­
ing one day asked me if I be­
lieved in Satan." he s.nd. "I re­
plied 'no.' Then she asked, 'but
;r )'OU don't believe m Satan,
where d<> you 1hmk your
lmagickall powers come from?'
I was so shocked that I just son of stared open-mouthed al her
for awhile. Meanwhile, the res1
ol the table wem silem. Some of
n,y lncnds later described my
expression as quile priceless ...
But such insumces arc the
exccpLion ra1hcr tha·n 1he rule for
Crowl, and overall he doesn't
think 1ha1 LC is hostile 10 his
religion. ln a 101 of ways, he reels
a little sympathy for the Chris•
uans on campus who take flak
for wh:il lhc Christian Right does
and s.1ys. "l1s 1101 their fault 1h01
they share a spiritual leader with
a bunch or wan kcrs who arcn'l
ready lO chonge."
LC is home 10 few who actu•
ally practice Earth Religions,
,hough most people arc accrpt·
ing of those who do.

8 Millimeter a shockingly
pointless piece of ''snuff''
by Hillary Snodgrass
Somewhere in 1he middle
of the dark landscape of
8MM,Joaquin Phocnix'schar­
ac1er, Max California, tells
Nicholas Cage's charac1er,
Tom Welles, thal 1here are
.,. three rules in life. One: no
matter the. situation, there's
always a victim. Two: don't be
1ha1 victim. He forgets what
n11mber three is, bu1 I'll fill i1
in for him: any movie lhat
se1s i1selr up to have a point
be11er have one.
There is a fom,u la to the
slandard Hollywood movie.
Bankable, physically a11rac•
tive stars are coupled with
equally bankable directors.
Dialogue must be~ easy to fol­
low or mildly runny. A s1ory
mus1 be told in 1wo hours or
less, and have a poin1 about
1he power oflovc, or the over•
all goodness of humankind.
You may remember the de­
piction or the ideal formula•
tion or such a movie in Rob­
ert Alunan's n .. Player. The
plug for 8MM would go
something like this: "You re•

piece abou1 a P.l. named Tom

makers of a fake 'snuff' tape.

kid introduces Tom 10 this
creepy scene. Tom's a family man, right, He's out of his ele-
111ent, but he's real determined,
so he ge1s deeper into 1his mess
until he finds 1he tape's produc­
ers, and llnds out this tape is
real. He's an upstanding guy, so
he's got 10 teach these creeps a
lesson. We'll need a good face
for this, someone 1be audience
can ride along with. Maybe Nick
Cage. This is a dark film, real
risky. so we'll need a direc1or
who's not afraid to go BIG, bu1
not 100 artistic. This has to be
accessible. How about Joel
Schumacher? He just bombed
Barman, maybe he'll be cheap.•
8MM is the story of a man
who s1umbles into the,most de­
praved of human industries, and
then tries 10 return to normal
life. The audience is introduced
to each new level of this semi-ing this kind or scpara1lon,
Walker and Schumacher fail
to drive home 1heir intended
poim, 1hat sadistic violence
lurks all around and even
wi~hin us. A bad guy's sober,
didactic analysis or how mo­
tiveless his crime is seems ar­
tiOcial, and somehow makes
our hero's efforts feel ,rite.
This is disappointing for 1he
audience. We're seeing things
1hrough Welles' eyes; if he
isn't satisfied, we aren't either.
