cent outbreak of school shoot.ings. "We h3V¢ to reah,e
thnt 1his isn't kids killing kids,

He expressed the view that
school shl)Otings arc a way for

Most of the s1udcn1s replied

Artist of the week Sunburn lineup announced
Senior Shawn Hazen
by Amy Albertson
Shawn Hazen, n senior at
Lewis & Clark, is majoring in
~,n. tlis first art classes at LC
were in photography. pho1og­
raphy did no1 come ua1Urally
10 him; it seemed forced. He
1hen took a class m graphic de­
sign, and it seemed to suit h,m
much better. G raph1c design
combined Hazcn's knowledge
of compmcrs wtth his interest
inan.
In his first graphic design
class. Hazen was introduced LO
the Photoshop program, on
which he now docs all his
work. He said 1ha1 the program
was rcla1ivcly easy 10 use and
had various different applica­
tions. One obstacle that Hazen
has had 10 overcome in graphic
design is 1ha1 a piece is often
100 large for the computer
screen; as a result, Hazen has
had 10 be able 10 envisi.on his
entire composition so that he
can make necessary changes in design. ln order 10 print these
large pieces, Hazen had LO go
10 a special printing company.
He said that geuing his pieces
printed was exciting because
it was the first Lime 1ha1 he was
able 10 see ahem to scale.
For his senior project.
Hazen experimented with dif­
ferent color combinations us­
mg the ying-yang symbol as a
central theme for all of his
pieces. He said that the sym­
bol represented the balance
that he tries 10 achieve in his
life. The largest pieces of
Hazen's project measure three
feet by three feet.
Mier graduating from LC,
Hazen will go into the navy.
and afaer 1ha1, he is undecided.
He said that he may go into
nuclear engineering or elec­
tronics, and If he likes the
navy. he may pursue ii as a ca­
reer. /\!though Hazen does
not think he will pursue an as
a career. he did say that iL is
something that he will do all
his life.

The womens and men's track
and field teams placed founh
:mcl nr,h m last weekends con•
fcrencc track meet here nt
Gnswold Stadium. Mead coach
Dnv1d Fix emphasized 1hc qual­
il)' of 1he members of his team.
Maile Barrtu led the way for
the Pioneers and qualified for
1hc nauonal tournament in the
JOO meter hurdles wuh a 11me
of 14.97. She also l1111shcd sec­
ond m bo1 h 1hc 100 meter dash
( I l. 71) and 200 meter dash
{26.28). Fix noted that Barrell
holds 1hc conference record of
all 1lmc in the JOO meter
hurdles. Barrett's duucs also m•
dude anchoring the short and
long relays.
Chnsnna Oonehower rin•
ishcd founh in 1hc long jump
4. 72 (15-15-05.75) and limd tn 1hc tnple jump 10.38 (34-
00.75). Kinylc Lohof was mcn-
1loncd as another leader of 1hc
womens team. She placed fourth
i1\ 1hc 100 meter dash (13.40),
sL,1h in the 200 mc1cr dash
(27.90) and tenth 25.86 (84-
10.0) in 1hcjavclin throw.
Senior Dan Reichenbach led
the way for 1he men's team. Mc
rinishcd first in the hammer

1hc discus 1hrow 35.20 (115-

tribmions in the !500 meter run
with a second place finish
( ➔:06.28) and sixth place finish
in 1hc 800 mc1cr run
Many of 1hcse sckc1 individu­
als were much more successful than 1he 10ml team effort. The
limnecl number of LC track
mcmhcrs can he lrnced to the
former stmcturc or the confrr•
cncc. Many 01her schools more
heavily depended upon the ··iat­
em nw:trds .. to rccrui1 larger
numbers. Recc111 rule changes
have evened 1he recniiling field
and LC's team hopes 10 be even
more successful as a 1cam in the
future.
Maile Barrett qualified for
the national tournament in
the 100 meter hurdles. She
holds the all-time
conference record in that
event.
The women's team
finished fourth and the
men's team finished fifth in
last weeken'd track and
