Nader attracts LC students and community
by David Oppenheim
As Ralph Nader's speaking
engagement at Lewis & Clark
College approaches on Sunday,
It seems almost a li[etlme ago
that the effort began to book
1hc longtime Washington ac­
t..ivisl and two-time.Green Pany
presidential candidate.
"Last October, I then) SOFA
director Joanna Apple called
Mr. Nader's aide and asked i[
he was possibly interested in
speaking on our campus," said
LC student coordinator Shane
Ostcrmeier. "Unfortunately,
she was 1old at the time that his
schedule was too busy, but his
aide offered us the first chance
to get Nader the following
year.•
The new SOFA admmistra•
uoniumped at 1heopportunity.
Using the groundwork 1hat was
laid by Apple, 1he ball began to
roll last spnng and soon SOFA
had completed negoriauons
w11h Ralph Nader and finalized
the deal.
•we were increrubly excited
that we had a chance to get
[Naderi. It 100k a lot or hard
work by a lot of different
people, but in the end, we got
the job done," said this year
SOFr's director. senior Tina
Radeke.
Although Radeke doesn't take much
credit herself,
her initialive,
along with the
effon of her
peers on
SOFA is what
made the
event pos•
sible.
"SOFA is
[uncling and
organizing
the entire
evenl, manag•
ing his travel
plans, includ­
ing where he
is going to
stay, arrange
ing his pick­
ups and drop­
o ffs, organiz­
ing his secu­
rity detail,
and recruiting
volunteers 10
he! p set up
and make
sure things
r u n
smoothly,•
continued
Radeke.
This is not
the first time
SOFA has
been involved
in bringing a Ralph Nader, presidential candidate for the Green Party
will speak on campus Oct. 6 to a full audience. high-profile
speaker to LC.
Last year SOFA
brought the lib­
eral acuv1st
Michael Moore
to campu-s to
respond 10 re­
marks made by
conservative

·one of our
long-term goals
ls to get some­
one of an equal
caliber 10
Nader every se­
mester,
Ostermeier
said. ·we are
currently work•
ing with BSL
(Black Student
League) on art"
other very 1m­
porlantspeaker
coming 10 LC
this spring.•
"Our hope is
1ha1 t hls event,
along with re•
cen1ly past
evenLS, will
help set a pre-ccdent for getting other high
profile speakers on campus.·
Radeke said, agreeing with
Ostermeier's carUcr remarks.
"This event ls cxceplionally ex­
citing for us. and is hopefully
only the beginning of a long
tradition to come at LC."
·we don't really care who il
is that we brmg here, whether
they are left or right leaning
lpoliticallyl. only that what
they have to say is poignant at
the time. someone who Lruly
speaks 10 the sLUden1s· sensi­
biltties." said Osterrneier when
asked about which speakers he
wanted for the future.
SOFA is pleased wi1h the in-
1ercs1 expressed for bringing
other speakers to campus.
"We are also very interested
in getting other swdent groups
on campus in~olved ,n such e[.
forts. What BSL is domg 1s very
exciting because it proves that
student groups other than us
have an interest," Ostenne1cr
said.
Tickets are still available for
purchase in the area. SOFA
would like to see all seats filled
for this unique evem.
• Also, spread the word 10
those around 10 1hose you
know in Ponland. We have al•
ready sold l .300 tickets, but
still, we want a £ull house. This
should be a lot of fun!"

Pathfinder clarifies sexual
harrassment policy
by Maggie Oyler
The 2002-2003 Pathfinder in­
cludes minor changes from las,
year's version.
A new heading, deal.ing with
,.$(:xual harrassment elaborates on
the definition of unacceptable
behavior. Formerly, sexual
harrassment was included under
1heSexual Conduct Policy. Ake)'
change is the specification of
sexual harassme.nt a.s nol only
unwc]come sexual advances, bul
also 10 the display of sexually
suggestive objects.
The clarification or 1he policy
arose partly ou1 of a conOict in
Odell last year, in which a stu­
dent displayed pictures of almos1-
naked women on his door. A
complaim was issued, on the
grounds 1ha1 1he picmres consti­

Lets start with the claim that
this campus needs LO be more

1he closure. The new dorms were
designed not 10 have a sidewalk

forces people 10 walk in whac

people had 1hough1 ahead when
1 hey were building the new
dorms, 1hey could have easily
made n real sidew~tlk, maktng
the road clear for vehicles.
Another point is 1ha1 in most
01her dorms on campus, !here
are roads right in front. SOA,

few) all have LO contend with

As a result of the new dorms Huddleston lane has been

drivers is rtnding a parking spot.

Here comes the rain!
Although it's only rained twice this week -and
the sun manages to pop out in between
showers -don't be lulled into thinking this is
some sun-drenched wonderland. The rain is on
it's way, and when it arrives, it'll be here to
stay. If you want to look like a native
Porttander, ditch the umbrella shown here, toss
on your own version of a rain coat and pack

Walking along the split, you

sophomores Jenny Hunt and
Maria Galindo, and they have a
set up that Is qulte original.
They have their beds pushed
1ogc1hcr in the middle of the
room and 1111s,d as close 10 the
ceiling ns possible. The only wall
the beds arc touching is the one
with the door; the beds arc
pushed against the entry way.
Wtth the whole noor open,
they have turned their room into
a lounge, complete with a couch,
a chair, a big sound system, and
silver streamers hung across the
entrance way. Their desks are
both against the windows, with
a refrigerator hiding in one of the
corners cre>led by the central
placing of the beds. Even with
all this. there is still open space
for the girls 10 sprawl out, if the

When the two decided 10 be roommates last semester, they

They sleep very close 10 thf

phobic, but they h•ve gollen
used 10 it. The first couple nights
spent were a challenge, with 11
feeling a bit like "being ma tan•

They removed. the light from
the ceiling and ran small lights
up the side so they can stJIJ read
in bed (however, the books do
hit the ceilfng if they read on
tlieir backs). They have steadied
the beds with cinder blocks; the

Impractical for their set up.
This room has attracted a 101

the time to get a look at it. Even
people neither of the girls have
ever met stop by, having heard
about tbc room somewhere and
wanting to get a glimpse.
The room is decorated with

desks are, tiuingly, Plato and

The girls are grrat friends and

This stalls actual title is the

Student-athletes unite with SAAC
by Jarod Weger
The Student Athktc Advisory
Council (SAAC) is a group at
Lewis & Clark which acIS as li­
aison between student athletes
and the atl1le1ic adminisu:ation.
The goal of S/\AC is to encour­
age campus suppon of athletic
programs as well as unity and
communication be,ween teams.
athletes, faculty and the LC com­
munity. This includes all a1bJe1-
ics: varsity, club, and
intramurals.
Two rcprc.scnl:llives from
each varsity sport arc appointed
10 SAAC for the duration of their
a1hle1ic participation •t LC.
There are also two faculty rep•
rescntatives (one male and one
female) who act as liaisons be-tween athletes and foculty. There
are two co-chairs of SAAC (one
male and one female) and a sec­
retary. If athletes have questions
or concerns about lheir activi~
ties, they are brought 10 the com­
mittee. discussed, s.olut..ions are
evaluated, and the.n relayed to
the administraL[on. The commit­
tee members attend bi-weekly
meetings, afler which the reps
repon back to their respective
1eams.
Along with attending meet•
ings, all student athletes must
panicipa1,e in communily service
activiries. Two large and success~
fol communily service activiues
done l n the past were a shoe and
sock drive for downtown Port­
bncl and the National Girl and Women In Sport Day. Another
major aspect LO the SAAC is their
commitment to campus suppon
of athletic events. At LCsuppon
of athletics is not where most
athletes would like it, so athletes
must support each other. There
arc plans for a brother/s1s1er
team program, where male and
female teams would be matched
up to auend eacb other's sport­
ing events.
The plan is to get every team
matched up with another so that
the student athletes can be even
more involved in supporting our
school. The SAAC deals with
numerous issues pertaining to
individual athletes, the entire
athletic body at Lewts f;t Clark.
and the community.
