Senator Gordon Smllhs cam•
pus appearance and speech on
Thursday. Nov 6, rece,vcd as
much hype and e-mail a11ention
as any event ,his year, And as
the speech and the subsequent
question and answer period
ended, those who witnessed the
recently re-elected Republican
Senator speak on issues ranging
rrom Constitutionalism to
Bush's war on Iraq were
wrapped in co1nrersation con•
ceming the issues Smith ad­
dressed in his lecture
Days prior to the event, stu­
dents and faculty alike received
emails and nyers debating the
need for a protest of the Sena·
tor on this highly-libcntl cam­
pus, sparking a dialogue be­
tween liberals and conserva­
tives on campus.
This created electTicity that
resonated throughout the
Council Chambers during the
nearly hour-long speech and
following question-and-answer
period.
On the day of tbc speech.
roughly twenty people gathered
around in the rain to protest the
senators' appearance. Those.
present al the protest listened to
the repeated chant or "Gordon
Smith, you live a myth, well
f*** that sh*t~ .. and complaints
about the senator's voiing record • the
1oneer
Lewis & Clark College's student-run newspaper
and endorsement for war on

Inside Templewn, however,
studentS, faculty and members
or the public were banned From
bringing any signs or protest
imo the Council Chambers.
While nearly every member
10 aucndance was willing to
tone clown LhCiT VISUAi signs or
protest, few compromised their
political affiliation. When Lhe
Senator addressed Lhe audience,
he checked his more conscrva·
Live rhetoric in favor or •com­
passionate conserv;itism." Se.na•
ior Smith, a traditional Mor•
mon,spoke for hair an hour be•
fore opening up the noor for
questions.
Senator Smith spoke on a
rnnge or issues, including his
success in working with liberal
Jewish Senator Ron Wyden (D·
Oregon) on Oregon state issues,
the checks and balances or US
government, and the impor•
lance of dividing the monarchi­
cal powers or a govemmcnt imo
three branches to ensure those
checks and balances.
He then moved omo discuss
the fodcral judiciary. Rebuiting
Democratic reservauons about
prospective, pro-lire Bush nomi·
nations to the Supreme Coun,
the Senator emphasized the im•
poruince or not limiting confir­
mation or Supreme Coun Jus­

member of ,he foreign-affairs
committee. next addressed for­
eign policy and the U.S.' role
in the United Nations and
NATO.
The Senator seemed willing
10 concede the U.S.' position as
the world's supreme power, and
spoke of having a world super­
power ncl as a front for diplo­
macy worldwide.
"Who fightS wars? NATO.

Phyllis Yes will bring for discus•
sion emails from students that she
has received. The Kyoto Proiocol will re­
turn for another student vote,
continuing the question of
when, or if, Lewis & Clark will
purchase offsets to become
compliant with 1he Kyoto Pro­
loco1, an international agree~
ment on global warming and
greenhouse gas emissions.
ASLC recently announced 1ha1

A majority in favor of Poll I

Kyoto supporters will also

for 1he 2003-2004 academk
year. CBC will consider the re•
suits of Poll 2 when 1t meets in
spring to determine how to dis­
tribute SIUdenl recs.
Last FebruMy, after severa I
educational meetings orga­
nized by Julian Dautremonl•
Smith, students voted on a pos­
sible S lO increase In student
fees, which would be ear­
marked for Kyo10 Compliance. The vote has a.lso been men­
tioned in newspapers such as the
Los Angeles Times. USA Today, and
Tl1eOregonia11.
However. in 1heir February
mee1ing, the Board or Trustees
voted not 10 allow the proposed
fee increase. The Board voiced
concern over the amomaLic "'ear­
marking" of recs for a specific ex­
penditure each year. lns1e.1d. the
offset purchasing should go
through the regular budgeting pro•
cess every year, like all mher stu­
dent foe ex7>endllures. The Board
said that, if proposed ihls year.
they would support a S l0 increase
m annual student recs. if that m­
creasc was not linked to any spe­
cific expenditure.
In an effort 10 make LC Kyo10
compliant for the 2002-03 school
year, Kyoto supporters asked last
year's CBC 10 allocate SI 7,000 for
l<yo10 compliance. This money
would come from the normal bud·
geung process that all chanered
and fonded gro<1ps normally go
through.
The Kyoto Protocol was fonded
$17,000 through this process, the
toial amount needed 10 purchase
offsets and make LC compliant. Several student group lead•
ers. however, felt I hac CBC had
intentionally cut their budgeis
in order LO fund Kyoto, They
called upon ASLC 10 remove
Kyoto's buclgei, and some re•
quested a compleic revamping
of the budgeting process,
ASLC held a forum to discuss
Lhe tsSuc wilh Slude-ms but even­
tually voted against this action.
ASLC poin1ed out that Kyo10
had been budgeted last, onlyar.
ier all other groups had beecn
given what was felt Lo be a fair
and reasonable buclgei and also
1ha1 the siudent groups who
were upset would no1 have re•
ce.lvcd additional funds even if
Kyoto had not applied fodund­
ing.
ASLC further said that Kyoto
ad been fonded without reduc•
ing other group's budgets be­
cause the Yearbook did not ap­
ply for ils cusiomary funding
and club sporis like hockey did
not apply for any money.
Addiiionally. ASLC noted that
the budgeting process was done
in compliance with CBCs rules or

The Pioneer Log is funded by your

group and thus knew best how to
fairly distribute the funds.
Some student leaders re­
mained unconvinced and still felt
that with no fee increase, Kyoto
should not receive funding. A
petition was Ried t0 hold another
student ,101e on whether to move
the money [ rom Kyoto to GAB.
wah the understanding that
groups who felt they had been
underfunded might apply for
money m this academic year.
After the peution was filed.
however, proponents of Kyoto
voluntarily gave the money to
GAB. choosing instead to raise
money themselves. Kyoto sup•
porters also expressed the imcn­
tion to apply to GAB for funding,
as any other group might.
Supporters said they wou Id

While the •o,versily Re­
port" acknowledges the exist­
ence of different types of di­
versity, it does liule to ad•
dress economic diversity, gen•
der diversity or religious di•
verslty. For example, the av­
erage reported income of LC
families is S 79,904 which is
S28,-l97 above the national
average This average does
not include the 40% of LC
families who do no1 repon
their income to the financial
aid office.
Another conspicuous dcfi•
cicncy is the male to [emnlc
ratio of 2:3. While this may
be mirroring a national trend
in higher education, It s1ill re•
0ec,s lopsidedness. Another
item omiued by report is re­
ligious statistics. These num-bers are nol readily obtain­
able anywhere at LC.
The LC "Diversity Report"
concludes opiimistically, say•
ing, "we believe that many of
our proposals can be imple­
mented in short order." The
Task Force is hopeful 1ha1
their findings will encourage
discussion and effect change
at LC, but they are also aware
of the challenges they face.

luding to the brewing military
action against Iraq.
The Senator also spoke
about the influence of Congres­
sional leaders abroad and the in­
effectiveness of world organiza•
tlons, such as the failed League
of Nations. in remedying inter•
national conmc, to help justify
America's present threat against
Sadaam Hussein.
"lfthe L.eague of Nations had
not been filibustered by He.nry
Cabot-Lodge, would it not have
been able to prevent Mussolini
and Hitler to rise to power?"
Smith asked. He went on to talk
about how in limes or crisis, the
US has had to superccdc the
power of the United Nations.
After the Senator finished, the
noor was opened 10 questions
from anxious consliluents1 pri­
marily LC smdems.
Whicn asked whether he be­
lieved the US would not fioun­
dcr as had every other empire
in the world previously, the
Senator, an advocate of Lhe US
world-watchdog approach, did
liule to refute 1he claim of em­
pirical power.
"There is absolutely no reason
that if resources are balanced
properly, that 1he United States
cannot continue to thrive to the
extent it has." he said.
When another student ap­
plied pressure on the Senator to
address failed or US-pullout trea­
ties, such as the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty. the Senator
was quick to clarify. in his estima­
tion, where treaties fell in the hierar­
chiail order of law: "A treaty is higher than a
statute, but lower tban the
Constitution, which means it
takes a super-majority to
ratify."
When asked why 1he US be­
lieves il has the authority to by­
pass NATO and I.he UN, he
made another historical rder­
ence, this time referring to
Hitler's suspension of the con­
stitutional law of Germany tn
the time proceeding World War
ti, usmg it as an example to jus­
tify military action in i raq.
The Senator wrapped up
to solid applause, despite
students' pleas to address
more questions.
After the speech, students
who auended the lecture
were agitated by the Senator's
skirting of questions.
•1 asked the Senator about
1he validity and importance
of international organiza•
Lions, like the UN ... and his
vote to ignore that organi:z.a•
Lion." said sophomore Owen
Segersrrom. •1 don't really
know what question he
thought I asked, but he cer­
tainly didn'l answer mine."
This complaint was echoed
by many students.
However, while some stu•
dents were left disillusioned by
what they believed was the
Senator's unwillingness to an­
swer Lheir questions, others
were left with expectations
matched and exceeded.
•1 mus, say, he is the best
politician I have ever seen speak.
But politkians should be taken

Pho Van: great soup
by Erin Halek
In a remodeled Mexican
restaurant, Pho Van ( 1919 SE
82nd Ave.) is a dignified, airy
e,itery in the middle or 82nd's
infamous strip mall.
Pho is a Vietnamese broth­
based noodle soup, and arrives
steaming. with garnishes
aplenty. The broth is cooked
overnight, and the prospective
diner chooses exactly what dea<I
animal parts -from tendon 10
strips or solt meat -to include.
The soup has vegetables and
rice noodles, and will you llll up
before your tongue is willing to
stop.
Other highlights include rice-Dour crepes stuffed with shrimp,
pork. mung beans and onions~
char-grilled pork loin with pork
rind and egg-pork pauy; and
vermicelli with char-grilled
skewers or shrimp. These come
with a Lraditional pe.anut sauce
that's a bit redder than most. An
avocado shake is a creamy, cool,
avocado-y concoction that tastes
like nothing else.
But the biggest winner at Pho
Van is your wallet, because a
huge bowl of pho runs between
$6.50-$7.50. Beware, though,
that Pho Van's Pearl District
location is known for slower
service and higher prices, so
drive a bit and experience the
real thing.

Philosophy Extravaganza
explores meaning of beauty
by Jovanna Schussel
As you walk around campus,
no doubt you look a, the people
around you. Do you judge
whether or not they are beauti­
ful? What criteria do you use for
making you decision?
Bl'auty isa top topic in todays
society; for some, it is even an
obsession,
But, how often
do you get the
chance to sh
down and talk
about what

ally is?
Well, the
chance 10 do
so has arrived.
This Tuesday,
November l9,
the Philoso­
phy Club is
presenting the
Philosophy

The topic or
this year's dis-ticipants can further converse
about the subjects at hand.

"!The extravaganza] is a chance to he,ir what faculty r rom
different areas of the college

said_
The panel consists of six foc­
u lty members who will each
have about 10 minutes to tnlk
about what they 1hink about the
question at hand: "What is
beauty?" The panel then opens
up lor questions between the
faculty members, so they can in­
quire of one another. Then, the
discussion is opened to the gen­
eral audience, and anyone
present can ask quesLions or the
panelists.
The faculty members on this
year's panel are: Isabelle Dcmarte
(French smdies),John Fritzman
(philosophy}, Elizbeth Safran
(geological science), Heather
Watkins (art), Forrest Pierce
(music), and Detweiler-Bedell
(psychology).
