Halloween II: Col Iver's revenge
commentary by Joe Collver
Last year this writer
authored a series of articles
entitled "The Freshman Per•
spective, • which found disfavor
with members of the adminis·
/ration for its controversial and
pessimistic nature, though
many students found the sto•
ries entertaining. This writer's
article of last week. "Students'
grumbling has no ground to
stand on,· found disfavor with
members of the student body
because the author seemed to
be siding with the administra·
t1on rather than the students.
This article attempts to dispel
any such notion. showing that
the writer tenders allegiance to
neither side.

Within a few weeks. a majority
of subconLracted janito~al

Skyline refused to rccogniic

According to labor laws in the

The SEIU ana the Lewis &

want 10 rake 1hc qucsuon to the
NI.RB because such cases are no

mc~numc. the employer is rrcc
to cominue in1imidation of 1hc

wh:n we kh was -an administra•
ti\'C effort 10 erase our progress

I rcmembe.r one incident vi\'•
idly. While distributing in£om1n
tfon abom the janitors' mistrc~ll
mcnt to members of 1he Board
ofTrus1ccs before their meeting
in Templeton Student Center. we
encounicrcd President Mooney
in ,he hall. After explaimng what
we were doing and :1..skmg hnn
to explain why he was refusing
10 >Upport th~ janitors, PrtSl<lcm
Mooney assured me that 1he
matlcr had been investigated
and tha11hcrc was no1hing to be
concerned abou1. Ac.cording to
President Mooney. however, the
investigation was conduclcd h)1
1hc admin1stra11on wtthout
spcakmg 10 the workers.
Pres1den l Mooney then re•
fused 10 speak directly 10 one
Skyl:nc employee who ap
proached him. He later ex•
plained his behavior by saying
tha1 she was not his employee
:ind so he had no reason 10 speak
10 he.r. E\!en if Lhis reasoning was
e1hically accep1able, ii is s1ill
faulty. As subcon1mc1cd work

College is responsible for their

lly the end or las, year, 1he
majori1y or J3n1tors were too
frightened 10 acuvely support
1hc muon. In January, I s1opped
1ospeak with two oflhc jttnitors
in the downstairs hallway of the library basement. which isusu•
ally deserted. They entered 1hc
cle::1ning suppl)' closet as we be•
gan to ch:.11 and indicated 10 me
10 enter I he closet as well. They
were sc:,red 1hat they would be
punished ir 1hcir supervisor saw
ahem talking 10 me.
·rhcy explained to me how
Skyline's rules preven1cd easy
communication between work·
crs. For exan,ple, they were only
allowed to eat wilh co-workers
who worked in the same build
ing during lunch breaks. Janitors
who cleaned the dorms were
asked 10 rnkc their breaks in the
deaning supply closets r.uhcr
1han in lounges or places where
they are easily visible 10 srn
clcn1s. \Ve can imagine. what the
response would be if professors
were allowed 10 cat lunch only
wi1h 01her professors whose of ..
fitts were in the same building.
The campaign has made
progress as Skyline bas purport·
edly rccogniiecl 1he u111on1tauon

Across the country, progressive
municipailites and ins1itutions

Garden of SEEDen
desecrated, group asks

The Garden of SEEDcn was
crea1cd by students last year as
a place of gathering for the Lewis

1he many hours and hard work
ol a few dedicated s1t1den1s, this
former blackberry ghc110 hcts

end this sanctuary was des
ecrated. You migln remember
the LC clear-cut dcmonsm11ion

nagging was I icd around 1 rces
scheduled 10 be "cut." With the
disnppcar>ncc or this nagging
from the trees, we had hoped ii
was the act or a helping hand.
To our dismay, we were. entirely
wrong. The nagging was found
l,uercd about the gardetL hap
pears th:u Llus was an in1cnuonal
abuse of two proJCcts put on by
SEED. The Oagg,ng was, for 1he
most part. individually double
knotted around various trees,
phlnlS and s1ruc1t1res in the gar•
den. This vandalism ,s not on
appropriate form or proies1 10

Soapbox is something to yell about
by Fauna Doyle
Every day, a select group or
Lewis & Clark swdcnts tackle
campus. c1ty, state, nation. and
world wide ;ssucs. from their
,•try own compulc.rs. Some ar~
rive and simply observe, 01hers
are 1hcre co ran1 and rave, bu.
all are pari of a community fo.
rum called Soapbox.
Soapbox ,s a newsgroup
which is accessible through 1he
lclark server. Bclore II existed
there was a s11n1lar forum called
"msgs." However, ·'msgs .. cl1dn11
work as well because some
people wanted to discuss cam•
pus topics and other people wore
posung notices abou, the com•
putcr that they had for sale.
There wa~ra lot or frustration. LC
alu,ns. Preston Crawford. Rich
Pixor, and Ryan Thomas in par
ticular appealed to have a sepa
ra1c forum for the 1wo differcn1
types of messages. So dunng the
fall of 1994,John Miller. the In
formation Technology Coordi-na,or at the ume, got nd ol
'·msgs·· and created .. no11ces"
and ·soapbox." According 10 re
cent gradua1e Lmsel Greene, one
of 1he first people 10 pos,. "Soap
box was created to ;1l1ow all the
people who didn'1 want 10 read

However, man)1 people arc
unaware or Soapbox or have
never bothered 10 actually read
anyoftheposts. lncommgfrcsh
mcn arc never mtrocluced to 11
because programs like Mail Drop
don't suppon the reading of 11
This ,s unfornanatc, because
Soapbox is a wonderru1 resource.
The newsgroup provides a way
£or people on campus 10 uy om
Lhe1r ideas and to hsten 10 other
people's opinions.
In the United Sia1cs 1hc.rc ts
• strong precedent for 1his kind
of exchange ol 1de:is. Former

have realized that lime has up-SCI many flgh11ng fauhs, they
may come 10 believe ... tha1 1he
ultimate good desired is bcucr

1hat the best test of truth is ,n

Soapbox provides 1he marke1-,, ____ _

place for ideas on campus. I l is
an opportunity 10 grapple with
stcreOIYllCS and gender issues.
People share theories and SIMI
debates. Soapbox becomes a
place where individuals can have
intelligent discussions abou1
things that arc imp(ntant IO
them, be 11 baseball or 1he stal•
President's Forum ues in lower campus. It is a place
where one can gain a new pcr
spccnve on ideas or valiantly
defend old perspectives.
"Ah, Soapbox. My electronic
haven. My forum for random
comments, scathing satire, and
unabashed bas1ardism," said
jumor Adam Dixon
The fact that Soapbox is
onhne doesn't make the ~ugu
mcn1s less heated, but some•
limes 1hc abili1y to think 1hrngs
over before responding makes
1he argumenLS more solid. or .,t
lcas1 more interc.c,tmg.
However, Soapbox is by no
means only for deha1c. Some·
1imes people jus1 share their
1houghts on things that arc im·
ponam to them. They reminisce
abou1 the old days ol sports or
m:,ke comments on the: admin
istraiion. Soapbox has also been
known to receive poeLry -and
shori works of fiction. h is also
a hmuorous forum. Often the
posts induclc sarcasm :incl a
sense of irony. and sometimes
A Debate on Access to Higher Education
Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides in part that,
"Higher education should be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit."
The debate will begin with this simple resolution and the panelists will argue
whether access to funding for higher education should be allocated on the
basis of merit, need or other criteria.

Soapbox Is :1 great way to find

Halloween II: Col Iver's revenge
commentary by Joe Collver
Last year this writer
authored a series of articles
entitled "The Freshman Per•
spective, • which found disfavor
with members of the adminis·
/ration for its controversial and
pessimistic nature, though
many students found the sto•
ries entertaining. This writer's
article of last week. "Students'
grumbling has no ground to
stand on,· found disfavor with
members of the student body
because the author seemed to
be siding with the administra·
t1on rather than the students.
This article attempts to dispel
any such notion. showing that
the writer tenders allegiance to
neither side.

Garden of SEEDen

The Garden of SEEDcn was

end this sanctuary was des
ecrated. You migln remember
the LC clear-cut dcmonsm11ion

nagging was I icd around 1 rces
scheduled 10 be "cut." With the
disnppcar>ncc or this nagging
from the trees, we had hoped ii
was the act or a helping hand.
To our dismay, we were. entirely
wrong. The nagging was found
l,uercd about the gardetL hap

abuse of two proJCcts put on by
SEED. The Oagg,ng was, for 1he
most part. individually double

phlnlS and s1ruc1t1res in the gar•

Soapbox is something to yell about
by Fauna Doyle
Every day, a select group or
Lewis & Clark swdcnts tackle
campus. c1ty, state, nation. and
world wide ;ssucs. from their
,•try own compulc.rs. Some ar~
rive and simply observe, 01hers
are 1hcre co ran1 and rave, bu.
all are pari of a community fo.
rum called Soapbox.
Soapbox ,s a newsgroup
which is accessible through 1he
lclark server. Bclore II existed
there was a s11n1lar forum called
"msgs." However, ·'msgs .. cl1dn11
work as well because some
people wanted to discuss cam•
pus topics and other people wore
posung notices abou, the com•
putcr that they had for sale.
There wa~ra lot or frustration. LC
alu,ns. Preston Crawford. Rich
Pixor, and Ryan Thomas in par
ticular appealed to have a sepa
ra1c forum for the 1wo differcn1
types of messages. So dunng the
fall of 1994,John Miller. the In
formation Technology Coordi-na,or at the ume, got nd ol
'·msgs·· and created .. no11ces"
and ·soapbox." According 10 re
cent gradua1e Lmsel Greene, one
of 1he first people 10 pos,. "Soap
box was created to ;1l1ow all the
people who didn'1 want 10 read
1hc rants byp>ss 1hem 111 1he1r

However, man)1 people arc
unaware or Soapbox or have
never bothered 10 actually read
anyoftheposts. lncommgfrcsh
mcn arc never mtrocluced to 11
because programs like Mail Drop
don't suppon the reading of 11
This ,s unfornanatc, because
Soapbox is a wonderru1 resource.
The newsgroup provides a way
£or people on campus 10 uy om
Lhe1r ideas and to hsten 10 other
people's opinions.
In the United Sia1cs 1hc.rc ts

of exchange ol 1de:is. Former

may come 10 believe ... tha1 1he
ultimate good desired is bcucr

1hat the best test of truth is ,n

Soapbox provides 1he marke1-,, ____ _

place for ideas on campus. I l is
an opportunity 10 grapple with
stcreOIYllCS and gender issues.
People share theories and SIMI
debates. Soapbox becomes a
place where individuals can have
intelligent discussions abou1
things that arc imp(ntant IO
them, be 11 baseball or 1he stal•
President's Forum ues in lower campus. It is a place
where one can gain a new pcr
spccnve on ideas or valiantly
defend old perspectives.
"Ah, Soapbox. My electronic
haven. My forum for random
comments, scathing satire, and
unabashed bas1ardism," said
jumor Adam Dixon
The fact that Soapbox is
onhne doesn't make the ~ugu
mcn1s less heated, but some•
limes 1hc abili1y to think 1hrngs
over before responding makes
1he argumenLS more solid. or .,t
lcas1 more interc.c,tmg.
However, Soapbox is by no
means only for deha1c. Some·
1imes people jus1 share their
1houghts on things that arc im·
ponam to them. They reminisce
abou1 the old days ol sports or
m:,ke comments on the: admin
istraiion. Soapbox has also been
known to receive poeLry -and
shori works of fiction. h is also
a hmuorous forum. Often the

sense of irony. and sometimes
A Debate on Access to Higher Education
Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides in part that,
"Higher education should be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit."
The debate will begin with this simple resolution and the panelists will argue
whether access to funding for higher education should be allocated on the
basis of merit, need or other criteria.

Soapbox Is :1 great way to find
