Forensics debates
Kyoto Protocol
by Beka Feathers
In an a11emp1 to educate the
college community on environ•
mental is.sues, the lewis & Clark
Forensics team held a public de­
bate on the Kyoto Protocol Tues.,
OcL 22 in Tamarack lounge.
The debate is the la1es1 in a
series the forensics team has
held in past years, with an em•
phasis on educating students
about current issues, Although
turnout was not as high as last
springs debate, which featured
the British N3tional Debate
Team, participants say they were.
ple,1sed.
Usuall)', one debate has been
held a semester, but forensics
team mcrnber junior Keith Wes,
said he felt the 1eam would be
happy 10 hold them more fre­
quently, if there were a demand
for them.
..If there is more interest in il,
we'd be more than willing to
hold 1 h,cm more often," he said.
The debate featured sopho­
more Paul Bingham and West on
the affirmative side and seniors
Brad Cole and Katie Mica fort he
opposition, and centered around
the viability of the Kyo10 Proto•
col as a method of imcrna1ional
environmental regulation.
The Kyoto Protocol, a prod-uct of the United Nations Con­
vention on Climate Change, was
adopted in December of 1997,
and has smcc been s,gnccl by 84
countries and ratified by 96. It
calls for a mass reduction of glo­
bal greenhouse gas emissions,
requiring nations such as the
United States to reduce emis­
sions by as much as ➔O percent
by 2012, ·a number that has
ma11y nations second-guessing
their earlier support of the Pro­
tocol. The United States, in par­
ticular, has balked al the changes
Kyoto would require.
"We chose l<yo10 because ii
its a big issue, and we know 1ha1
the campus is preuy polarized
over H,"' West said.
He added that the main pur•
pose of the debate was to inform
people about both sides of the
issue. "Regardless of whe.re we
personally su,nd, we flllcd both
sides for the sake of education.•
• I think the debate itseH was
pulled off really well, consider­
ing that il was a compromise
between the debate styles." said
senior Jamee Eriksen, co-captain
of ,he forensics team "I'm look­
ing forw;ird 10 doing more pub•
lie debates because It's a good
way LO get information out there
and a good way to get exposure
for the forensics team."

Put down that beer, get off Are you there God?
the couch, and punch a ballot It's me, James
by Charlie Blackmar
As much as many of us refuse
to admit it, politics is something
that affects all 0£ us. From the
ludicrous decisions of our Com­
mander-in-Chier In washintgon
all the wa.y down to the actions
or state sennt0rs, politics have a
profound impact on our lives.
With this in mind, it is obvious
that the upcoming November 5
elections arc going to have an
impact on each and every one of
us.
Far too many college students
simply ignore politics and the
democratic process that comes
with it. Being uninformed and
too lazy to vote only serves to
hurt our nation. We, as college
students, are a powerful group
wuh passionate, meanmgful
opinions. B)' ignonng politics,
our op1111ons have no voice and
thus fail 10 11npac1 the poliucal

Extra points about Pio kicking game
This is in reply 10 the sports
editorial by John Koehn in the_
October 18 Pio log. While It is
gre.11 to sec an interest in the
Lewis & Clark football program,
there arc a number 0£ points of
contention.
The majority 0£ these points
concern the editorialisl's
mlsanalysls or the stal istical
numbers involved and an inex­
perience witl1 the inner work­
ings of Division Ill foo1ball. For
inslance. it is a valid observalion
that a 50% success rate for PAT
:.1.ucn1pts ove:r the course of a sea~
son and 0% during a single game
1s very poor. However, this is an
observation that c,m be made
from revie,ving Stal$ and would
not have been as noticable to
someone at a game_ \Ve djd miss
our only auempL ,11 a PAT, los•
ing a "gimmk" point, but al the
same time saved £our points by
blocking both a PAT and a field goal allempted by Chapman.
This puts us +3 in our kicking
game.
The.re arc two othu poinLS
which need to be made about the
editorialist's numbe_r crunching.
One is that a 40% success rate
on the 1wo poim conversion is
actually very good. Most of the
Lime, a learn wm have abom a
l 0% success rate. The highest
punt average in DUI ball is about
44. 7 )'•rds per game, meaning
1hat our opponents have been
under that and no1 close 10 50
as Mr. Koehn claims.
It is unrealistic 10 admonish
1he coaches for a lack 0£ recruit•
ing sawy in their failure to al•
tain a decent kicking game. In
0111 football, good kickers arc
rare and show up by luck, the
majority ending up in a higher
level. This is particularly appar•
cnl at a school like ours, where
the academic entrance require .. men1s do not favor those that
uevote_ tbe time needed 10 be
exceptionally proficient in an
extracurricular. Even so, LC
coaches recruited eight kickers
who applied and were accepted
for this )'C.ar, buL luck worked
against us as they decided to nt·
tend school somewhere else.
Even fielding a full roster is an
annual challenge in comparison
10 the teams a, the top or the
league, who happen to have a bit
lower entrance standards. The
people 1ha1 kick for us now were
no, recruited for that position.
They are all position players that
have suming or backup roles a1
other positions 1ha1 require that
majoril)' of 1heir time and cn­
e.rgy.
I'm not saying focus only on
the good pans of our program,
but rather give credit where
credit is due.
-Luke Speckman by James Christle
There are a £ew things in life
that really bug me. You know­
they gel under my skin and piss
the be-Jesus ou1 or n;e. I guess
one could call them pet peeves.
They include fleas. significant
others, and genocide. But 1here's
one thing I've yet LO mention
which enrages me more than any
0£ the above and that 1s:
People who don't worship
Jesus.
1 mean come on people.Jesus
died for your sins. What more
do you want from the man?
What more do you need ,n or­
der to worship him? Do you
wan1 him to LUrn wa,cr into
wine? Well guess what? He did
that! Does the man you worship
need to ha,•e walked on water?
Well guess what, agam? Jesus
walked on water! He also cured
leprosy with his bare hands
(somethmg modern science has
yet 10 do), was born In a barn,
as a newborn had a King give
him myrrh. forgave Mary
Magdalene for bemga prostitute,
and had really great abs.
Jesus did so many amazmg
things. but no, all you liberal
secular humamsLS have 10 be all
rauonal about it. You all say 10
yourselves, "No.' Jesus couldn't"'
have been the son or God. Mary
couldn't have been a v1rgrn.
Catholic Priests molest lilllc
boys. look at all the war and
pain that have been caused in the
name of Chnsuanily. look at
how insanely out or lOuCh with
reali,y Popejohn Paul II LS. Look
atJerry Falwell.
or course with UIC last point
I have trouble arguing with you.
If God really existed wouldni he
have killed Jerry Falwell by
now?
Up until now. 1his arllclc has
been wriuen ma sarcas1ic tone.
People who don't worship Jesus
do not piss me off (though fleas,
hypocritical significant others,
and genocide do bother me).
Gran1ed I'm a Christian but I
really couldni care less what you
believe. I'm happy as a darn as
long as you have some guidmg
moral principles or beliefs that
help ease the pain of being a
human. Blll there is one pan in 1.hc
above sarcasuc ranl thal l'm be­
mg 100% senous about. Why
1sn'1 Jerry Falwell dead yet?
For those or you who don i
know Falwell IS the paslOr or the
Thomas Road Baptist Church m
Lynchburg, Virgi111a. The church
has a 22,000 membership,
mamly consisting of trailer trash
that thinks Bill Clinton is the
an11-Chns1. He's also the host of
the popultir Chnstian television
show The 01,I Time Gospel Hour
and the founder of the Moral
MaJOrily, which is now known
as the Libeny Foun<lauon (oras
I like to call it The Organization
or Chrislian Fundamcmallst
Wackos).
Falwell is famous £or sumg
Larry Flint, the founder or the
respectable ;111d decen1 maga•
zinc Hustler, accusing Tinky
Wmky, the Purple Tcletubb.y of
being • ho,noscxual who was
teaching toddlers lO he homo­
sexuals, and blaming pagans,
abortionists, feminists, homo­
se,ualsandcivil liocrttcs groups
for September I Ith because the
role 1hey played in secularizmg
our coutnry somehow caused
the terrorist auack. Plus jus11 his
last week, Falwell went on the
CBS Program 60 Minutes and
said, l think Muhammad was a
terrorist. This. in mm, caused a
riot in Solapur, India Five (some
sources repon four) people were
killed during the rioting.
In short.Jerry Falwell is a real
jerk. He's one of those people
who are sodeludecl by their zeal­
ous beliefs that they contribmc
10 making our world J worse
place. The man should die be­
foro he causes more pain. Too
many abortion clinics have al­
ready been blocked by the man
and his followers. Too many
unwanted children have been

Good Times For All at Homecoming Dance

Sawrday night. Whnt's a girl

Yeah, when I'm 21 in a month
and a half. Go 10 the movies?
Tha, costs money, and 1 hen I'm
jus, s1111ng on my ass all night.
No, I wnnl to geL out, have a

10 the nearest dance dub, right?
Well, you'd be wrong because
I went down 10 the Portland An
Museum w11.h my boyrnend and
Friends £or the annual Lewis &
Clark College Homecoming
dance.
I know what you're thmking
as memories of high school swirl 1hrough your head: fancy dresses
and suits, awkward pictures with
cheesy airbrushed backgrounds,
and the nauseatingly popular
kids being deemed even more
popular wi1h a cheesy crown or
tiara from the local costume
shop. It was probably Just as
dreadful for me as II was £or you.
Luckily, the LC Homecommg
dance was nothrng like this,
Yummy gourme1 hors-d'oevres,
relaxed and fun-loving dancing,
and the legendary open bar set
this event apart rrom high
school.
The dance s1aned a18:00pm,
but my boyfriend and I didn't
hop on Lhe shuule until after
9:00pm, dressed much nicer
than our everyday om£i1s, but
not having taken more than LO minu1es to get ready. \1/hen we
walked i1110 the Grand Ballroom,
the vast room doused in purple
light to re0ec1 the "theme· for
the night, we were happy to see
the fesuvities just srnnlng to
swing. and were even more re•
freshed to sec 1hc variet.y of
styles mingling on the dance
floor.
Everyone from foo1ball play•
ers (of which my boyfriend is
one -he was dressed in a dress

a rciro green tic extended only a
few mches rrom h1s neck, and a

dreadlocked hippies, from
people dressed m their vintage
finds to those in 1he1r 1radi11onal
fom1al dresses and suits enjoyed
the continuous hit songs stream• ing from 1he speakers.
The music was not excepuon•
ally unexpected, but It was cer­
tainly boogie-friendly. The only
slow song was the las1 of the
nigh1, so couples spent more
nme grinding on the dance 0oor
than swaying in each others'
arms. A few dance siandards
were also thrown in for fun
.. Staym' Alive," "'YMCA," ulce,
Ice Baby.' etc. All or thts music
kept the 11100d both lively and
sexy, and II showed m 1 he smiles
and raucous shouts of the
crowd.
0£ course, the open bar prob­
ably had something 10 do wuh
these cheery attitudes Wrist•
bands ensured only those of age
could purcha;;c the drinks, but
tha1 doesn't mean they didn't stan circulaung once back on

IT'S ABOUT CHOICE. IT'S ABOUT PRIVACY. IT'S ABOUT TIME. Sports
Pioneers shine at Homecoming
by Zach Mann
What turned into a blowout
last Saturday at Griswold, the
Pios (3-2, 1-0) ended up just
gening their feet wet for this
SamrdayS comest vs. arch nem­
esis Pacific Lutheran (3-2, 1-1),
The opposing team that got in
1 he way last week was
MacAlcster College of St. Paul
Minnesota. Usually the Pio of­
fense has been the star, piling up
stats that rank them among the
best in the nation on any kvel.
Not as notorious is their defense,
which came into Lhe game with
something to prove. Prove they
did.
After a slow start by LC all­
time leading passer Tre.nt Th­
ompson, the usually reliable re­
ceiving corps, and the o-linc, the
defense knew they had Lo step
up. Holding the MacAlcster
Scots to 81 total yards in the first
half, allowed the explosive Pio
offense Lo finally gel on the
scoreboard. ti l-1-point barrage
in a three and a half-minute time
sp•n late in the second quaner
Lurncd out to be more than
enough as the second half was
another shut out for LC's de•
ftnse, Wlth stellar tackling, cov­
erage, and a tenacity that they
have been looking for all year,
the defense ended MacAlester's
first seven clrives by causing a
fumble, four punts, and two
tu rnovcrs on downs.
When the Pio offense did get
off theg~ound, they actually de­
cided to stay there. MacAlesters de£ensive line was causing prob·
!ems for lhe pass oriented Th­
ompson and Pioneer play call­
ing in the lirsL quarter. Escap·
ing the pressure just collapS<!d
the pocket and Thomspon w:i.s
unable to garner more than a
seven•)'ard run all da)'. Number
24 decided that he was going 10
take matte.rs into his own hands.
Mickey Rosendahl, arguably the
best running back in the North·
west Conference, broke a 38-
yard nm 10 the Scots 6-)'ard line
setting up the first touchdown
of the game late in the second
quarter. Thompson connected
with senior Adam Patenaude in
the endzone, the first of
Patenaude's two, and the flrst of
four touchdown passes for the
standout quarterback,
These 6-points came at an al­
most unbearable cost, The ear­
lier run by Rosendahl ended his
day and possibly the month of
October as he came off the field
with a broken leg. He hopes LO
be ready by next week's game
against I.infield hut that ma)' be
optimistic. His replacement,
freshmen Marcus L1mpkin got
Lo see his flrst subs~1ntial pfay­
ing time as the number one back
He did not waste his opportu­
nit)', Scoring his first touchdown
as a Pio on a 29-yard pass play
was the nail in the Scot's coffin.
His play looks promising for
tomorrow's game against PLU
where the runn.ing game must
complement the pass attack in
order to keep tl,e Lute's defense guessing.
Speaking of defense, the of­
fense can be rest assured that ff
last weeks game is any indica­
tion, the Pio defense is a force
10 be reckoned with. Holding
opponents 10 a le.1gue low 17 .2
points per game, this "Black

backer Chris Stokes. Togetl,er
they accounted for 30 tackles.
including six for loss and two
sacks. Also punishing the Scots
were seniors Rusty Lindsay and
Andrew Bohaty, They each re•
corded a sack and had six and
five tackles respectively.
Looking at ton1orrowts game,
Pioneer Luke Speckman says,
"We will have LO have a huge
game but I think we can do it.
I think ouroffcnsecan move the
ball against them and I think
our defense can hold them. The
only thing that we are nussing
is a belief in ourselves. We arc
our biggest opponents.•
No bigger game has graced
Griswold stadium in the past
decade then this years "Battle of
1-5." Nothing less than a,full
house shou Id be cxpect'ed as
these two teams knock heads,

It take to pull down a goal post?
Football and family: Tyler Svenson
by Liz Hummer
He plays on the defensive
line for the l.ewis & Clark Col•
lege football team. He is a se•
nior Business Economics and
Hispanic Studies major. He has
a work-study job and also works
at the Bon.
Up until now, Tyler Svenson
sounds like any other LC stu­
dent-athlete. What sets him
apart is that he's also been a hus­
band and father for the past four
years. "i can't just leave football
practice and go home to do
homework. i have to bea father
and husband, and my school
work usually loses," Tyler said.
He may be juggling more re­
sponsibilities than usual, but
Tyler loves them all. According
lO him, .. Being a dad is awe~
some." and it shows in his love:
for his daughter Raven, 4. They
have tickle fights and practice
wrestling moves whllc Raven
giggles and mom, DJ, looks on
with a smile. They're 1J1e model
of a happy family, which is rare
considering the circwnstances
they have come through.
Tyler, 21, grew up ln. Alaska,
one of Lhrce sons of Salvation
Army ministers. At. 13 he met
DJ, also I he child of Salvation
Army ministers, at a youth con­
rerence.
Their long distance relation­
ship stretched even further
when DJ's parents were moved
10 LA, but as fate wou Id have it,
Tyler's family was relocated 10
LA just a year later when he was l5. The two teens reveled in be•
ing only 20 minutes from each
other, and they knew they would
get married one day.
Things happened a little
sooner than planned, though,
when DJ got pregnant and gave
birth 10 Raven In November or
Tyler's senior year. The couple
married 12 days later.
"It was kind of rough at first
being pregnant before marriage
because both or our parents are
ministers, but as soon as Raven
showed up everybody just
smiled," T)'lcr said. Now ,vith a
family 10 consider, he pondered
football recruitment offers from
Yale, Princeton and others. His
fate was scaled, though, when
offensive line coach Bob Ludwig
visited his high school and urged
Svenson to apply to LC.
One financial aid package
covering tuition later. the
Svenson family had moved 10
Portlond, and Tyler started his
days as a Pioneer.
"That first year was crazy,• he
remembered. ·1 was gcuing
about an hour of sleep evcryda)',
having intense football prn.ctices,
working at Fred Meyer, and tak•
ing care of Raven.•
With all of this gomg on, you
may wonder why Svenson has
continued to make time for foot­
ball in his crowded schedule.
•Because football's fun," he ex­
plained. •1 wouldn't do it if I
didn't like it." Tyler is especially
excited about the football team's
potential in his last season. ·we have a lot or talent, but
we're not perfect }'Ct. We're cer­
tainly Lhe. best we've been since
I've been here, though," hesaicl.
Tyler picks his favorite football
moment as beating Willamette
University l\V() years ago to re•
claim the wagon wheel trophy
that bounces between schools.
Mter playing football for the
better part of the last decade, he
is not sure how to react to the
end of his defensive line career.
"It'll be different," he said
simply. "I'll probably be worried
about different stuff at Lhat
point.• That's pretty much a
guarantee because the Svenson
family ,viii be welcoming the
new addition ofJusrice Tyler in
February,
After graduation, Tyler has
considered returnmg to Ecua­
dor, where he spent last semes­
ter while OJ and Raven Sl3)'td
with family in Alaska, or they
may take up work with the Sal­
vation Am1y in Mexico. •11's not
really about gening a good job
right away, but more just to get
the experience/' he said.
Tyler certainly isn't a stranger
10 doing what he loves, and
considering his four years of
football dedicatfon on top of all
his other responsibilities. he
will most likely continue LO live
. b)' this philosophy: "I'll prob­
ably end up makmg 20 bucks a
year working ,vith low-Income
kids," he said. "The stuff I en­
joy doing is just not stuff that
makes money, but that's okay." lhc Pioneer Log__
