"The point is, if we keep
on talking about: masculine
and feminine and following
those sten:orypcs, then we wi!J
make women suppress and
despise their so called masculine
qualities a.nd men suppress and
despise tbci.r so called feminine
ones, and that's where all rhc
trouble starts. So, what we're calkip.g
about is a completing the circle of
ourselves. To seeing that all people
have all human qualities."
-Gloria Srcinem, 1998 Lewis &: Clark Colleges student-run newspaper

"[The] feminist agenda ... is
about a socialist, anti-family
pol i t.ical movemen l that
encourages women to leave
their husbands, kill their
\ chiklren, practice witchcraft,
destroy capitalism and
become lesbians."

My Vagina Monologue
l don't think there are enough loud vaginas
that like penises. My pussy loves dick. Now 1 won't
Uc. If I were choosing to look at a nudie pjcture to
get aroused, ('d probably pick a picture of a
woman. They' re just better looking when naked,
and my vagina responds to other vaginas that like to
play as much as it does. But once playtime is over
and its time to get down to business, a penis is
definitely in order. And kind of penis will
do ... really! All my vagina asks is that the penis
knows how to get what it likes from itself, and from
me, and that it uses all of the attributes it bas and
doesn't bemoan what it doesn't have. So, my vagina
loves dick. Dicks are great. They are highly
enjoyable organs. And just because there are no
penis monologues, don't forget to love your penis!
My vagina does. Bring on the dick!

varsity soccer at LC
by Rob Sholars & Siena Santoyo
Varsity soccer is visibly miss­
ing from Lewis & Clark's sporLS
ros1er. lnsuffic1tm playing fields,
a lack or lights and ad1n111is1ra­
uvc conccr-ns ate s<>mc of 1he
major complications that mtisl
be ;1ddresscd before :tSoccerpro­
gram could be instated. School
ofncials are hopeful of a resolu­
tion in tl1e. near future but cur­
rem students may graduate be­
fore. varsity soccer becomes a
reality at LC.
A fundamental problem is
thaL Lherc arc nOL enough fields
10 support a soccer program.
A1hlc1ic Director Steve Wallo
soys 1ha1 1wo additional f'ields
would be needed.
Possible locations include
propcny near the cemetery and
1,ro1>er1 y the College owns next
10 the Hous1on S1>0ris Complex.
Lewis & Clark officials are cm­
reni ly negotiating 1hc l)urchase
of the cemetery property. Land
use and zoning Issues comph­
catc this process.
Wallo said 1he space neNt to
the Hous1on Spons Complex
could be turned into a f'icld as
early as nexl fall.
ln conjunc1ion witb the two
new fields, lighlS would become
necessary at Griswold Su,dium.
"Liglus would extend the
prae1icc hours beyond sunset on
Gnswold Field, which comes
early most of 1hc year." said
Jane Atkinson Lewis & Clark's
vice president and provost.
Lights also come with 1 heir
own sci of problems. Besides
costing approximately S400,000, 1he neighboring com­
munily has expressed concern
with light pollution.
Once field and light and con­
cerns have been addressed the
ncx1 step is players. To be com•
peti11ve in Lhe Nor1hwestem
League one full recru11ing year
would be needed according 10
Wallo.
• A JV team would be a step·
ping s1one for 1hc v:1rsi1y pro­
gram,• he said.
Due to Title IX concerns, a
women's program would be
added first 10 balance par1icipa•
1ion numbers. Title IX prohibits
sex discriininadon in cduca•
donal inslinrnons that receive
federal fonds.
Not LO be forgouen is club
soccer. While it does receive
fonding from Associated Si.u•
denlS or Lewis & Clark and 1he
Physical Edl\ca1ion Deparlment,
it cannot be. put to use because
1he learn has nowhere Lo play or
practice..
"We don'\ have any facilities.
There are two soccer goals bu1
we don't have access to the field
at any time," said LCjunior Gra­
ham Gilbrn.
Club partiCiP.ation is low due
10 these 1>roblerns. Last year's
club 1ca111 disbanded af1cr dny­
li&h• savings time because ii
could no longer practice.
President Mlcbael Mooney,
Steve Wallo, and Jane Atkinson
arc working towards a rcsolu•
1ion. The wheels are turning but
adding a varsily program takes
Lime and careful planmng. Cur­
rent s1udenlS may not. see. the
fruilS of 1 his labor.
Pioneer Baseball: New faces, high expectations
by Corey Long
h's a good time to be• part of
the Lewis & Clark College Base­
ball Program, according to Head
Coach Gerry Gallo.
'"for the firsc time we have :1
full rosier. and this is the best
rreshman class I have seen since
the early ninctic5," said Gauo.
.. The learn is very cohesive and
has a good aui1ucle."
Ar1er seven pre-season games,
•he Baseball team is 3-4-1 and is
well on the way 10 being ready
ror its season opener March 10'"
against Pugel Sound. The ros­
ier includes many new faces and.
as it is whh every team, 1he: pre•
season is a 1imc for everyone to
get comfortable playing wi1h one
another.

A monkey wrench may have

men arc joined by freshmen Jus­
tin McCloskey, Korey Johnson
and, who Gauo calls "the
season's b1gges1 surpri.se," Jus­
tice Poling.
Gauo expressed his admira­
tion of all 1hc freshmen on this
year's team. Their hard work
and positive a11i1udcs they have brought have been a real bright
spot for the program. Along
with Polmg, he mentioned the
impression that infielder/out­
fielder Andrew Meade and
caicher Dan B•r1 h have made on
him.
"Banh is a hard worker and
Meade is a line drive. gap hiller
that jumps out a1 you," he says.

coach Sco11 Anderson, who joins
Gano and his pitching coach of
five seasons Mick Ellet.
.. Scott spent seven years in
1he pros and he brings confi•
dence, a great attitude and he
works well with the players on
an ind;vidual basis," says Gaito.
All lhcse new faces, combined
with the experience the team al­
ready possess gives promise for
a competilive season for the Pio­
neers. The beauty of this squad
,s that all but seven arc likely to
