LC faces reconstruction of campus and administration
l!
by Erin Haick
The summer or 2000 has seen
.a flurry of activity within the
adminislraliOn, wi1h major orga·
nizational changes being insLi·
gated.
Chief among those changes
was the naming of Jane
Atkinson, formo,rly Dean of 1hc
Colkgc, 10 1hc newly created
posilion or Provost~ and the an•
nountcmcn1 1hat Cunis
Johnson, formerly Dean of 1be

would be Dc:in Qf the College,
These changes rcprcscnl .1
departure from 1hc existing nd­
ministr:uivc system, which was
1n11 in [>lace in 1997, "111]
worked well enough for 1he cir­
<:unlSJ;U'ICCS, b1.H I d1ink a s1ruc­
turc should correspond with the
1imcs," said !>resident Mooney.
He said 1ha1 the 1997 changes
s1rucLurcd 1hc adminisiralion
too thinly. w11h 11ol enough ccn-
1ral leaders.
In 1997, one vice president
position was dimhmlcd, '1nd the
dual poshlon or Vice i>residen1
ol Acaclcm1c Alfa1rs/Dcan of the
College was consolida1cdas only
the Deanship. According lo Moone)', 1ho,se
changes worked well, but were
bcucr. on 1he whole, for gradu•
tuc studems and worked less
well ror 1hc unclergradualc pro•
grain. Several reasons exist for
the difference, including "1he
s1ruewrc of 1he undergraduate
is larger. the academics .-re more
complicated, and Lhc s1uclen1s'
needs :trcgTeatcr." said Mooney.
'"There were complaints from
s111den1s and facuhy 1ha1 1he
righ1 hand didn't know wha11he
lcf1 was doing, and vice versa.•
·'Under 1he new system, all
our resources are dircctccl Lo­
ward 1eachingands1udcnts. !hi
will pull together the Adminis•
lration and the sLuden1s and
unilc thosl' two cuhurcs.'"
The current layolll of 1he ad­
minis1 ra1 ion tends 10 a more in•
dustry-like design. "Ill's! more
a busin"5s model than your Ira•
dilional academic static model."
Working whhin the business
model, 1he Provost or the Col•
lege,Jane Atkinson, works in the
numbcnwo posilion within the
:idmlnistra1ion conccmrating on
opcrauon::il duties and relations
between faculty, staff, nnd SIU·
den1s. Mooney bclie,•cs 1ha1
A1kinso11 will help 1hc ndminis•
1r:.uion maintain dose Lies to 1he
facuhy and 1heir teaching needs.
''.Jane is academic 10 1he bone." he said.
On June 1, 2000, Cunis
Johnson was named as 1he Dean
of the College. As Dean,
Johnson will be responsible for
overseeing depanmcnts or SIU·
dcn1 services within 1he college.
He will also work 10 bring_1he
three brnncho,s of the collcgc­
s1udents, smff, and focuh y-into
dosc.:r communic~tion and co­
opcra1ion with one anolhcr. ,, ____ _
Under the new sys­
tem, all our resources
are directed toward,
teaching and stu­
dents. [It] will pull
together the Adminis­
tration and the stu­
dents and unite those
two cultures. out almost every level of 1hc ad•
minis1ra1ion. Announced July
11, 2000, June Jones, formerly
1he Associa1c Dean of the Col•
lege, will serve: as associate pro­

Two adminis1rators well•

changing posi1ions. Michael
Ford, former Dean of S1udents,
has become Associate Vice Prcsi­

Love for late night activities in Platt-Howard
by Meaghan Lamarre
New Resident Director of
Pla11-Howard. Melanie Love
brings excitement and energy to
her job and has exciting plans
for her residcms.
Originally from the Silicon
Valley, Melanie he.,ded 10 a small
,own in Missouri for college.
She graduated from Truman
Slalc Umvcrsity in Kirksville
with a degree m English and a
psych nunor and a philosophy/
religion mmor, She began her
work m resulcntc life as an RA
for two years at T.rumao State.
In her senior year, she held the
position of" Assistant 10 the Di­
rector" 111 whtch she actually ran
11 small Greek hall. She recalls,
"l:ven though I was not a Greek,
iL made me a neulral party
throughout the hall."
Arter graduation she and her
husband were married. Shon ly
1 hereafter. 1 hey p,ckccl up and
headed t0S1. Loms University in
St. Louis. Missouri. For 1wo
yc.trs. she worked m the resL·
dcncc lile program there. "I was
111 a building of 800 students, mostly freshman, with some
sophomores. and there were
three RDs in the bttilding .... It
was crazy. Thal 's the on-campus
population here. But having
been there, you don't get to
know 800 people, and you don't
get LO know the individuals. and
there were some olhcr reasons
that I wasn't happy down there,"
explains Love. She and her hus•
band ler, St. Louis University,
scckh,g rnore rewarding employ•
mcn1; she was interviewed and
hired by Lewis & Clark is happy
m her 1,e,v environment. ''What
I like about here (alann sounds),
I don't like that, but I love the
redwood Lrces. and the evCr•
greens, and n's mcc to be back
in n N\V kmd of environment, ,, ____ _
What I want to see
Platt Howard is a lot
more late night kind
of stuff, on the week­
ends, and a lot more
in the Platteau. Any
time we have pro­
grams, there's no
reason why it
shouldn't be
packed." _____ ,,
because even though I hat wasn't
direc,ly surrounding my home,
ir we every went camping or any·
thing into the fo1'CSI, that's what
the forest was. 1 love this kind
or environment, s.ti l really like
behtg back here. And I like be­
ing closer 10 the ocean, so all
those things arc really important
lo me."'
'A'he.n she was intcr,•icwcd
during the first days of NSO. she
was pleased with both the cam­
pus and the students. "I think it's a raally relaxing campus, it's a
very calm camptlS, a.nd there's all
kinds ofli11le nooks and comers
where you can be off doing your
own thing, off studying or 1.ak­
ing a nap or who knows. I really
like the campus, and n.ow that's
I'm in my first 24 hotus of hav•
ing Sllldents on campus, l',•c
round them to be very ene-rgct IC,
very interested nnd very moli•
vated, and I like that. And it's
exciting. 1f they're anything like
they were yesterday, asking all
kinds 11f questions, I think it's
going LO be a very good year i_n
Platt Howard, and everywhere.•
In hopes of making this year
a good on·e, Love's primary goal
for Pla11-Howarcl is simple: 10
bring people 1ogc1hcr. And i,
looks like she won't have too
much trouble getting her resi ..
dents together. 'Tm really ex•
ci1ed hecau.sc I h3vc l\VO pages,

hopes that Hall Council will take
the lead in tcnns of activities and
that Pla11-1-low"rd will keep up its tradiuonal programs (llkc
Halloween and Up-All-Night) :is
well as crc-ating new traditions,"
l think it's a challenge when you
have such a high concentr..11ion
offreshm;m in a building 10 keep
up tra.d111ons. because they come
in ~md they don't know wha1 the
lf.tditions were ;.rnd there arc so

'Hey, we du this ever)' year and
it's awesome'. So we ha,1c to rely

returners that we do have 111 the
building to get excited. But my
focus is really going 10 be 10 get
Hall Counc;1I off the ground and
10 get some really good leaders
in there. and keeping up those

some new ones." \Vith program•
ming a priority, Love hopes 10
rnakc the most of the Plauc-:m.
"Because. il's nght here and ll's

SEED & Environmental activism
by Kristin Casper '00 (casper@lclark.edu)
When 1 first ~me Lo Lewis & Clark in the fall or 1996, I was shocked

campus.besides OSPlR~ I became involved in one or OSPIRG's na­
tional campaigns. While t valued the experiences 1 had with the organi­
zation, I longed for something different, something 1hat pertained to
my lire in Oregon, something at more or a grassroots level.
In the spring of 1997, a small student group of Stl1Clcn1s pro1cs1ed
the construction or a school park1ng 101 adjacent 10 Tryon Creek, and
at the same time, another small group of s1uclenLS met weekly 10 dis­
cuss the philosophy or Deep Ecology. The combination or action and
discussion led to the mobilizaLion or Lewis & Clark Students. By the
end of 1he semester, we knew that it was our responsibility 10 crca1e a
forum in which s1µde111s could learn about environmental issues and
act together 10 make real and effective change, but on our own terms
and not on Lhc terms or someone dsc's "national campaign."
In the ran or l997, S1Uden1s Engaged in Eco-D_efonsc came to life. l1 We were fortunate to avoid 1hc wrath or the police, in the form or tear

September 12, 2000 Pioneer Log 7 Student Government at LC
by Joe Bielecki (bielecki@ldark.edu) ASLC President
The Associated Students of Lewis and Clark
(ASLC) are comprised of s1udenLS that are cur­
rently enrolled in the College of Arts and Sci­
ences or the lns1i1u1c for the Study of Ameri­
can Language and Culture (lSALC).
The Studem Council is a group of studenLS
elected 10 represent all student members of
ASLC. Council's mi,ssion is 10 distribute stu­
dent fees fairly and responsibly. 10 represent
student concerns, and effectively communicate
with the faculty, administration, and Board of
Trustees so that the student voice is heard· and
acted on. ASLC Council can help you get the
funding for your acaden1ic project or your stu­
dent group or club.
The Student Academic Affairs Board
(SAAB) grants money for academic projects (as
well as many other student services). the Char­
ter and Budget Commi11ce allocates the money
for all studem groups and club sporLS, and lhe
General Allocations Board (GAB) grants money for random student projects. These runds are
limited, so money is allocated assuming student
initiative 10 fulfill expenses. ASLC Council is
listening and working for you. It's our job 10
allocate everyone's student fees, so students al­
ways come first.
Students are encouraged 10 approach their
Council members with concerns and ideas on
how 10 improve our campus. From there, ASLC
Council can approach the administration, allo­
cate funds. or help organize motivated studcnLS
so 1ha1 they can fix the problem. Along those
lines, ASLC Council is not the
cure-all for every issue.
We can help direct stu,
dents, but we can't fix ev­
erything. We need your
help and ideas. and we hope 10
inspire the innova1.ive initiative
it often takes to overcome prob­
lems on this campus. For more

Elegy to the Party
b~ Andrew Daily. (adaily@lclark.edu)
So I thought that I'd talk a little bit about
the Pany -a well conceived idea. a spectacular
success, and a spectacular failure. The Party
from the beginning was a contradiction, and
we planned ii that way. Who has ever heard of
anarchists (well, some of us) running for elected
office? But anyway. Like I said, it was a spec­
tacular success. For the rlrst time in years,
people seemed 10 care about the elections.
People talked about issues, b~sides whether or 1101 they had been president of their 11th grade
. class. People actively challenged the existing
power structures. People had fun campaign•
ing. People were upse1 and angry. And ii was a
spectacular failure. Hardly anyone turned out
10 vote. We were resoundingly defeated. The
only position we won was inevitable, by default.
B~11 it just goes 10 show, 1 guess. Lewis and Clark
is as liule read)• for social organization based
on love, liberty and equality as the rest of the
world. Our ludicrous, anarchistic, situationist,
serious campaign was resoundingly.defeated. And probably for the beuer -because by the end
of the campaign ii had ceased 10 be fun. And
1ha1 had been our point from the beginning.
Then we could have 1ruly los1. For when you
lose the spirit of fun and rebellion, then it is
really over. What follows is our manifesto.
Maybe the Party will be resurrected by some. of
you.
Thanks.

Party Member and Student Rep.

The Party-Manifesto
Greetings. .,.
This is the alpha manifesto of Lhe group
known as The Party. Perhaps you have seen
our fliers, or heard about us. Now we wish 10
make ourselves known publicly, and 10 clarify
our stance on several issues. Our enemies ac­
cuse us of being rabble-rouscrs, running just 10
cause trouble. That is indeed true, but there is
much more at stake. Thus we wish 10 clarify
our platform, as much as it can be clarified.
For we endorse all anti-authoritarian and anti•
s1a1is1 groups who are currently engaged in
struggle 10 change the s1a1us quo.
Firs1 and foremost, we support 1hc abolition
of ASLC, and its replacement by ... nothingl We
unequivocally condemn all forms of govern­
ment, whether based.on coercion, or on stolen
authority. We oppose representative govern­
mem and suggest 1ha1 it be replaced by devolved
authority and a loose federated system. Stu­
dents could organize themselves into any com­
bination of groups, based on classes, majors,
dorms. clubs etc. These groups would meet oc­
casionally a1 a general assembly, in which ma­
jor issues concerning the school could be de­
cided. lt is expected that faculty and staff would
participate.
Second. we support the drastic cunailmem
of all police powers he.re al LC. That includes
1hc Office of the Dean of Students, Campus
Safety, the Residence Hall System and all other
forms of enforcement and coercion. Instead, we
propose a free campus, where studc'l1ts make de­
cisions regarding decency and behavior as a
community anc.l as individuals. Communities
should set standards. How is 1he administration
a pan of our community? Yet they wield su­
preme executive power concerning how we may
act, speak, express ourselves and generally live
our lives. The right 10 determine these guide­
lines should be tl1e responsibility of the student
8 Pioneer log September 12, 2000 body. We reject the administrations reduction
of students from quasi-responsible adults 10 the
status of children. We endorse the free exercise
of rights of all members of LC as long as these
expressions do not infringe on another's rights.
Third, we wish 10 express our support for all
engaged in the struggle for equality and free­
dom in the world; for the students al UNAM in
Mexico; and for all those struggling for social­
ism and anarchism across the world. Viva la
revolution!
Fourth, we support all levels of activism here
al LC which strive 10 make the world a free,
equitable and healthy place 10 live. To SEED,
R.A.G., Amnesty International and countless
others, we conTlllend )'OU. Y'all rock!
Fifth, we support the consLruction of a
Women's Center here at Lewis and Clark. De­
spite the images of gender relations portrayed
in the press, we feel 1ha1 a silent and not so si­
lent campaign of oppression is carried out
against women worldwide, and here. al LC. We
must strive 10 spread and defend equality, and
10 confront those who perpetuate physical and
mental violence agains1 women. The construe­
Lion of a women's cemer will create a physical
center for this struggle 10 advance equality and
freedom for all. women and men alike. For re•
member, An Injury 10 One is An Injury 10 All!
Sixth, we support the responsibility of the in­
cliviclual and the primacy of the individuals own
conscience as the ultima1.c source of am'hoo1y.
Individuals should make their own decisions,
and likewise be held responsible for their ac­
tions.
Seventh, we support the number 7.
Eighth, we suppon the use of absurd ism as a
legitimate rorrn of social and poli1ical protest,
and as a credible language for art and expres­
sion. We encourage more acts of absurdity and
humor here al LC. Laughter is our best weapon, and humor the ultimate subversive quality. Viva
la D:tcla!
Ninth, we support changing the school mas­
cot from a pioneer, a symbol of oppression and
genocide, 10 Gary Coleman, better known as
Arnold from TV's "Diff'rcnt Strokes." 1f elected,
we will appoint Mr. Coleman 10 a senior lec­
tureship position of his choice.
Tenth, we support the rights or 1hc faculty
and siaff in their labor rcla1ions with the col­
lege. We support a teacher's union, equality or
pay among professors. their increasec.l role in
1he cle1erminalion of curriculum, hiring poli­
cies and tenure track policies, in tandem with
the. student body. We support unions and liv­
ing wages for all school employees and all those
workers afrlliatccl wi1h the college. Workers of
the World Unite! You have nothing 10 lose but
your chains!
We propose 10 accomplish these proposals
through direct action. Our members conclescencl
10 run for office, 10 engage in the oppression of
the ballot box, solely 10 destroy the system from
inside. We urge all freedom and equali1y loving
s1ude111s, all activists, all fellow "nogoodniks,"
and all those who feel that this school could
benefit from a change, in the direction of direc1
democracy and liberation, 10 support our
struggle against the authoritarian powers that
be, and vote for The Party on election clay.
Refuse your imposed infantile s1n1us! Embrace
the spirit of fun and lire that comes with being
young! Enliven the campus with your laugh­
ter! Smash New Salem and the Puritans who
dictate our lives! Up with laughter, fun, beer,
sex, music, lire and love, with all those hallmarks
of youth, righily perceived as subversive, that
have been deprived you by 1hc "keepers of pro­
priety." Seize your own lives!

from Destructive Stocks?
by Julian Dautremont-Smith (julian@lclarke.du)
This year, students are launching a campaign to gc1 the school to divest
all of its holdings from Unocal for its investments in Burma. The current
campaign is similar to the divestment campaigns against companies wilh
investments in Apartheid Somh Africa that occurred in the 80s. Indeed,
Burma is ruled by a brutal, illegitimate military dictatorship that has re­
fused to honor free and fair eleclions that took place in 1990 and has been
condemned for its atrocious human righLs record by the United Nations,
lhe lntcrnation~I Labor Organization, the U.S. State Department, the U.S.
Department or Labor, Amnesty International, as well as numerous other
government and non-governmental agencies.
To make mailers worse there is substanttal evidence that much of the
infrastrucLure for Unocal's gas pipeline and even portions or the pipeline
itself were constructed with forced labor. In addition, evidence seems to
show that: several villages were forcibly relocated as a result or the pipe­
-line; the increase in military presence in the area to provide security for the
pipeline led to an increase in human rights abuses, including rape and
sometimes fatal forced portering in the area; and the pipeline passes through
the largest hlock of intact rainforest in Southeast Asia which has hcen das­
sil1ed by the World Wildlife Fund as one of 200 global ecoregions.
Adding insult Lo injury, some estimaLes find that the project would
provide the dictatorship of Burma with $400 million a year, most or which
will go purchase weapons Lo suppress the population.
Finally, Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for De­
mocracy, whfch won 80 per cenL of the seats in Burma.'s 1990 Parliamen­
tary elections, has repeatedly come ouL against foreign investment saying,
"We would like the world to know 1ha1 economic sanctions do not hurt
the common people or Burma. When Burma was opened up to what they
called the market economy a decade ago, iL did not open a door for the
common people or Burma. What it did was to give the military authorities
and those connected with them a chance to consolidate Lheir economic
position in the same way in which they had consolidated their power base.
This is why we think that economic sanctions are good and necessary for
the fast democratization of Burma."
As a student or Lewis & Clark College, I find it reprehensible 1ha1 our
school could be profiting off of such dispicable behavior. Please join me in
demanding that LC recognize its responsiblibiLy to the global community
and divest all its holding from Unocal. For more infom1a1ion or to get

What I Wish I had Known
When I First Came to LC ....
"l wish I had asked older students to reqm1mend professors and
tell me which ones lo avoid."
"l wish I had understood that most of the students, racutly, and
staff are working towards achieving similar life goals. This under­
standing would have encouraged me to step forward and voice my
ideas in an effort to create community in dealing with issues we deem
important."
"I wish I had known that you don't always need to have all the
prerequisites to take a class. Just talk to the professor. You might
not get in, but it's wonh a try."
"l wish I'd known that, even as a freshman, I could be a leader -­
start a new program, form a new dub, have Lhe lead in a play, push
for policy changes, anything.Don't assume that upperclassmen arc
more qualified; don't wait for them to take the lead."
Advice to New Students
Lots of opportunities arise in the beginning of rhe year. Keep your
eyes and ears open so you don't miss them. H you're i.nterested in
something, call a department, do some research, and be proactive about
your passions.
Worry less about general requirements and spend more time find­
ing and studying what you love. The course catalog can be useful if
you already know what a department is about. Ask older students for
advice.
Take advantage or opportunities 10 extend your learning outside of
LC through imernsb.ips, practicums, and volunteering. You'll often
learn more than you ever would in class.
Consciously seek out rnends outside your initial circle.
College is a time to figure out who you arc. Be alone sometimes;
give yourselr time to figure it out.
Don't settle. If you're unhappy with a class, a proressor, a depart­
ment, your living situation --change it. You can often change these
things if you just soeak uo.

From my perspective
by Meaghan Lamarre
In 1his age or h,gh-school­
dropouls gone muhi-m1lhonairc
and n>•·b)'•nigh1 do1.coms. some
of us may begin 10 qucs11on 1he
necessity. even the ,11ility or a
college degree.
Who hasn'1 heard 1he argu•
mcnt that it doesn't matter whal
you s1ucly m college anyway? So
wha1~ 1he poin1 or smdying any•
1hing?
And how abou11.ha1 Perspec-
11ves in Biology class you 100.k

quirement: when are you non­

be smd. I thmk, !or mos1 of the
das.o;cs we take.
So why don'1 I just drop ou1
and gc1 a job wi1h an in1ernc1
s1anup company? Because I
have a Lhc:ory that we learn
things here in college 1ha1 1ran•
sccncl our courscloads and ma•
jor requiremen1s. I 1hink we
learn how 10 live.
John Lennon once said, "Life
is wha1 happens while you're
busy making 01hcr plans.• 1
1hink 1hal's wh,11 100 many of us
do. myself included, during 1his
precious 1imc in our Jives. We
don'1 need 10 focus on gelling our impressive degrees and prc­
p;iring our-selves for our distin­

will come in , irnc. 13ul jf we con­
cc n 1ra l c lOO Jrnrd on lhosc

each day as II comes.
I think 1his is a time 10 learn
aboul 1hc world, learn about
each 01 her. Never again will we
be in such close proximny 10 so
many people our age. Take ad­
vantage of your neighbors, rel­
ish those conversations in lhc
co-cd ba1hroom late at night,
learn well 1he lessons of li\1ng
with a crazy roommate. Revel in
lhose latc•night conversalions
when you talk abou1 nod1ing
and c"cry1hing.
And by all means, take 1.he
time 10 learn about yoursclL -
Spend some lime alone, think­
ing abou1 how you live your life.
This is your time to cxpcrimc.nt,
to figure out wha1 SllilS you and
what docsu'1, wha1 you believe
and what you don't.
This is a.lso a 1ime to take
risks and make mistakes. Now,
while we're young, 1his is 1he
time to make misrn.kcs because
we can bounce back and learn
from 1hem. Recall the words or

Predictions for this year
as reported in last year's final issue of the Pioneer Log
Someone will hate Michael Ford.
People will once again forget what the letters "ASLC" stand for. ,,,.
KLC will still be seeking that double-digit listening audience.
The Commencement speaker will be someone eJse we've never
heard of. •
Our "hippies" will still wear Gap T-shirts.
Sol A~ majors will get arrested ... and revel in it.
Campus Safety: to protect and serve.
The administration will try to fire another popular professor.
People will read the Piolog.

Smith goes Gung He on new album
by Erin Haick
Speaking or Pnui Smith, her
new album's been ou1 for a
while. i had grand lmemions
of covering it last year (l mean.
ifs Patti Smith), buL il took me
a bi1 longer than I anucipated
to dig throush this album and
come out beLter for it.
Ihcce were rumors pnor to
release that Smith had really
gouen it together and Cung Ho
would be as good as her debut
Horses. I'm not sure If that's
1ruc, but rd quite in agreeme1>1
1hat il's her most enjoyable and
s1rongcst work since then.
Opening with a nur(y ol
drums and a much 1h1cker bass
line rhan usually feamred,
Cung Ho kicks off wilh "One
Voice", which quickly bleeds
into one of 1he h!ghligh1s of the
album, "Lo and Beholden".
Smith dances itl a temple
