To fill traffic citation
quota, Washington State
Troopers pull over inno
cent out-of-state drivers.
Last Sunday, I was peacefully
minding my own business driving
from Ponland to Seauh.•, wben, all
of a sudden, a Washington State
trooper pulled me over and is
sued me a traffic ciLation. What
was this citation for, you ask?
Well, leL~ just say I had a hooker
on my lap, a beer m my hand,
heroin in the trunk, and a loaded
shoLgun in the passenger seal.
Actually, I was going 75 MPM
in a 60 MPH zone. Apparently, I
had missed a sign Lhree miles back
where the speed limiL dropped
from 70MPH l0 60MPH.
Now, I understand Lhat I
clearly was speeding; however,
the trooper still could have let me

indicated, I obviously was from om of town and unfamiliar wi1h
Washington S1aLe speed limits.
The 1rooper could have told me
1ha1 once 1-5 hits Olympia 1he
speed limit drops to 60 and tlm
I should watch om In the fumre.
Instead. I was issued a speeding
ticket amounting 10 $105.

sign! Thai~ not all-if I wan1

Instead of having a plethora of

can cenainly standardize speed

these issues.
Located next to the Health
Center, on the lower 0oor of
Templeton Student Center, the
center counsels 350-450 students
a year -roughly 15% of the LC
population.
five women and one man,
each with a Ph.D. or M.A from
colleges such as the University
of Nebraska, Marylhurst, and

a nurse. practitioner are: also avail

weeks, which allows students tQ

related mental health issues.

director of the Counseling Center
and a counselor for over 25 years,
says that "special stresses occur to
everyone in college."

''Once'' rocks again
by Ben Waterhouse
Last Saturday night the ever
popular, never publicized student
playwriting comest Once Upon a
Weekend returned once again 10
the LC Black Box, This year saw
an abundam crop of play submis
sions and an impressively large
tumoul of actors. After a surely
arduous (and hilarious) morn
ing of review and elimination,
seven plays were chosen 10 be
performed.
The show opened with "Once
Upon a Universe· by Alexa Reyn
olds, directed by Joel Minkin, and
featuring a sidesplitting imper
sonation of Stephen Weeks by the
talented Usman Ally,
Next came "Real World 809."
an absurdisl piece by "Airoltiv
Snommas· (pseudonym of Victo
ria Peuersen and Eric Sammons)
and directed by Catie O'Keefe,
with Brad Slil2 l)'Pecast as God
Almighty and Kotaro Kawashima
in his fourteenth pan as a homo
sexual since his arrival a, LC.
Third was the requisite farce
by Nick Joyce-"Travel in the
Af1erlife," directed by Marianna
Hane Wiles. All attending were
as1ounded 10 see the dramatic de
but of Glenn Fujimura, typically
only seen in the techie world,
Filling out the middle of the
show was a somewhat bizarre
scrip, wi1h Catie O'Keefe written
all over it, directed by Chelsie
Young, and featuring the most
memorable line of the night, pro-nounced by the equally memo
rable Emily Miller. •If we were
alone, l would drag you Into the
diner's coed bathroom, roll you
up like a crepe. cover you m but•
ter and Nutella, and ea1 you from
this end to that.•
The fif1h performance was a bit
of a deviation frorn the traditional
humorous theme of the comest:
"At the Cemer of the Universe,"
a serious drama wriuen by Nick
Lantz, direc1ed by Erin Magee
and showcasmg Zack Ross and
Alexa Reynolds in what was by for
the high point of the evening.
The next performance brought
back the bizarre, friendly, and
caffeine-induced tone we are
used to seeing in Once Upon· a
Weekend wi1h "Wink er Pop," a
musical mime featuringJoe Cool,
a lemonade stand, and 500 lhirsty
aliens.
Emily Bennet~ brilliant piece

LC students, Jane and Anion, I
can only say 1ha1 I was shocked

Overall, the night was great
fun for all mvolved and definitely
one of the best dramatic perfor
mances this re.viewer has seen
this year. even if my (admllledly
terrible} submission got tossed. I
hope this is a sign of more good

women's basketball sizzles Upcoming Pioneer Sports
by Zach Mann
It has taken them three sea
sons 10 finally do it, but the Lewis
& Clark women's basketball team
finally got over the hump. It took
stringing together consecutive
conference wins, and they accom
plished it against Willameue and
Pacific, Victories have never been
the problem for ibis ever-chang
ing basketball squad, just suc
cessive ones. The victory against
Pafic1c on the 11th was the first
time in three years that the Pio
neers won back-to-back confer
ence games.
Streaks arc an integral pan of
any spon. The confidence that
is built during a strlng of wins
improves everyone's play and
tenacity. With only two games
remaining, the Pios can end this
roller coaster season on a positive
note. Although they are traveling
10 the eastern side of Washington,
both games seem winnable. The
Pios finish the season with back to back games against Whitworth
and Whitman, respectivl>•·
Earlier this year, Whitworth
beat LC TI-51 at Pamplin Spons
Cemer, but with the Pios findmg
their late season groove, a vie•
tory in Spokane is not out of the
question. After the fun stops in
Spokane, the best-tasting city in
Washington awaits them-Walla
Walla.
The game at Whitman College
will be a test to see where this
young Pio team ts headed next
year. LC £ans did see Whitman
fall 10 the Pios on January 25"'
The Pioneers' players and coaches
should look forward to a season
ending victory at the Missionar•
ies'home.

nlng or this season. A blistering
srnn comparable to last seasons
quickly fizzled imo only a dream
of what could have been. Nine
losses In twelve games ended the
Pios· chances at breaking out and solidifying themselves among the
elite in the Northwest Conkr
ence. it was not for a lack of effort
and competitiveness, though. Bat
tling injuries all year, 9 wms as of
today and the possibllity to reach
double digits this weekend would
be a feat by recent LC standards.
Also, the four conference wins
quadruples that of last season,
where one lone conkrence ,~c
LOI)' was all they could produce.
Although this season may
be disappointing to some, ,vit h
seven new players, mcludmg four
feshmen, 1be1r ability to come to
gether as a team has been truly re
markable. With only tbree seniors
on the young squad, hopes are
high that next year ,vill be stellar
for the womens program.
Although a fairy tale ending
may not await the Pios this sea
son, riding a lWO game win streak
and ,vith two games remaimng,
they may be writing the prologue
for next year.

LC intramural sports: get involved this spring
by John Koehn
If you played some ball in

you've still got some game but

whe.re there is potential for em
barrassment, Le,vis &: Oarks
Palatine Hill lntramurals is just
for you. Intramural spons offer
all the game and none or the
glory of regular spons at only
a fraction of I.he commitment. Intramural spons are a great way
to get in shape, meet other ath
letically-minded students, or jUSl
play a game of ball.
Unlike varsity college spons,
winning at intrannural spons
presents the opportunity for ma
terial gains. The winners of each
intramural event take home a
"champion" T-shirt and collect
"poims• that are a part of an inter
dorm competition. At the end of the semester, the
dorm with the most "points• wins
a pizza party compliments of
Lewis &: Oark's Palatine Hill ln
trlmurals. Apparently off-campus
students don\ like pizza.
Intramural sports are co-ed
and open to anyone on campus.
This makes them the perfect op
ponunity for cocky posers decked

To fill traffic citation
quota, Washington State
Troopers pull over inno
cent out-of-state drivers.
Last Sunday, I was peacefully
minding my own business driving
from Ponland to Seauh.•, wben, all
of a sudden, a Washington State
trooper pulled me over and is
sued me a traffic ciLation. What
was this citation for, you ask?
Well, leL~ just say I had a hooker
on my lap, a beer m my hand,
heroin in the trunk, and a loaded
shoLgun in the passenger seal.
Actually, I was going 75 MPM
in a 60 MPH zone. Apparently, I
had missed a sign Lhree miles back
where the speed limiL dropped
from 70MPH l0 60MPH.
Now, I understand Lhat I
clearly was speeding; however,
the trooper still could have let me
olT with a warning. As my Mis
souJi plates and dnvers license.
indicated, I obviously was from om of town and unfamiliar wi1h
Washington S1aLe speed limits.
The 1rooper could have told me
1ha1 once 1-5 hits Olympia 1he
speed limit drops to 60 and tlm
I should watch om In the fumre.
Instead. I was issued a speeding
ticket amounting 10 $105.
S 105 for missing one lousy
sign! Thai~ not all-if I wan1
to go to Olympia LO comes1 my
tickeL, that will cosL another $48
dollars in coun processing fees. 1r
I want 10 have Lhe Licket deferred
from my record, that\; ano1her
Sll5.
State Lroopers are issued
monthly quotas for the number
or citations they need LO issue.
I saw proof or this on my way
back from Seattle. The same State
Trooper that had pulled me over
was pulling another car over in
1he exact same spoL
Thurston County is not alone
In using traffic citations to pad its
treasury. All across America s1a1e
Lroopers are pulling cars over to
make their counties a quick buck.
Its a shame Lhat state troopers
have been reduced to litlle more
than Lax collectors ,vith badges.
Now, I'm well aware that by
now this anicJe sounds like little
more than a forum to air griev•
ances about m)' speeding ticket:
however, I'm going somewhere
wiLh all or this.
1-lighways experience heavy
traffic because of their importance
in interstate tra\'el and commerce.
Instead of having a plethora of
different speed limits Lhroughout
the counties and states of Ameri
ca, Lhe federal government sho,Lld
step in and establish one common
speed limit for imerstate high
ways. Ir our federal government
can launch preemptive strikes
against third world tountries ii
can cenainly standardize speed
limits for in1ersta1e highways.
Doing someLl,ing as simple
as sening a na1ional speed limil
of 75 or 70MPH would spare
motorists a world of headaches.
or course, as a downside, states
would have 10 6nd a new way to
fill 1heir coffers.

and to accommodate those who
use them, more should be put up
in downtown Portland.
When new pay phones are

pay phones should have remov

be more sanit,try and might make
people less cautious abom using

One known reason for the
decline of the pay phone is the
mobile phone. Mobile phones do
have many advantages, but 1hey
can also be very annoying and
dangerous. For example. people
who drive cars and utlk on mobile

And not all people can afford

Filling out the middle of the
show was a somewhat bizarre
scrip, wi1h Catie O'Keefe written
all over it, directed by Chelsie
Young, and featuring the most
memorable line of the night, pro-nounced by the equally memo
rable Emily Miller. •If we were
alone, l would drag you Into the
diner's coed bathroom, roll you
up like a crepe. cover you m but•

of a deviation frorn the traditional
humorous theme of the comest:
"At the Cemer of the Universe,"
a serious drama wriuen by Nick
Lantz, direc1ed by Erin Magee
and showcasmg Zack Ross and
Alexa Reynolds in what was by for
the high point of the evening.
The next performance brought
back the bizarre, friendly, and
caffeine-induced tone we are
used to seeing in Once Upon· a
Weekend wi1h "Wink er Pop," a
musical mime featuringJoe Cool,
a lemonade stand, and 500 lhirsty
aliens.

Overall, the night was great

women's basketball sizzles Upcoming Pioneer Sports
by Zach Mann
It has taken them three sea
sons 10 finally do it, but the Lewis
& Clark women's basketball team
finally got over the hump. It took
stringing together consecutive
conference wins, and they accom
plished it against Willameue and
Pacific, Victories have never been
the problem for ibis ever-chang
ing basketball squad, just suc
cessive ones. The victory against
Pafic1c on the 11th was the first
time in three years that the Pio
neers won back-to-back confer
ence games.
Streaks arc an integral pan of
any spon. The confidence that
is built during a strlng of wins
improves everyone's play and
tenacity. With only two games
remaining, the Pios can end this
roller coaster season on a positive
note. Although they are traveling
10 the eastern side of Washington,
both games seem winnable. The
Pios finish the season with back to back games against Whitworth
and Whitman, respectivl>•·
Earlier this year, Whitworth
beat LC TI-51 at Pamplin Spons
Cemer, but with the Pios findmg
their late season groove, a vie•
tory in Spokane is not out of the
question. After the fun stops in
Spokane, the best-tasting city in
Washington awaits them-Walla
Walla.
The game at Whitman College
will be a test to see where this
young Pio team ts headed next
year. LC £ans did see Whitman
fall 10 the Pios on January 25"'
The Pioneers' players and coaches
should look forward to a season
ending victory at the Missionar•
ies'home.
Losses were rare al the begin•
nlng or this season. A blistering
srnn comparable to last seasons
quickly fizzled imo only a dream
of what could have been. Nine
losses In twelve games ended the
Pios· chances at breaking out and solidifying themselves among the
elite in the Northwest Conkr
ence. it was not for a lack of effort
and competitiveness, though. Bat
tling injuries all year, 9 wms as of
today and the possibllity to reach
double digits this weekend would
be a feat by recent LC standards.
Also, the four conference wins
quadruples that of last season,
where one lone conkrence ,~c
LOI)' was all they could produce.
Although this season may
be disappointing to some, ,vit h
seven new players, mcludmg four
feshmen, 1be1r ability to come to
gether as a team has been truly re
markable. With only tbree seniors
on the young squad, hopes are
high that next year ,vill be stellar
for the womens program.
Although a fairy tale ending
may not await the Pios this sea
son, riding a lWO game win streak
and ,vith two games remaimng,
they may be writing the prologue
for next year.

LC intramural sports: get involved this spring
by John Koehn
If you played some ball in
high school and think that
you've still got some game but
don't want to showcase it any
whe.re there is potential for em
barrassment, Le,vis &: Oarks
Palatine Hill lntramurals is just
for you. Intramural spons offer
all the game and none or the
glory of regular spons at only
a fraction of I.he commitment. Intramural spons are a great way
to get in shape, meet other ath
letically-minded students, or jUSl
play a game of ball.
Unlike varsity college spons,
winning at intrannural spons
presents the opportunity for ma
terial gains. The winners of each
intramural event take home a
"champion" T-shirt and collect
"poims• that are a part of an inter
dorm competition. At the end of the semester, the
dorm with the most "points• wins
a pizza party compliments of
Lewis &: Oark's Palatine Hill ln
trlmurals. Apparently off-campus
students don\ like pizza.
Intramural sports are co-ed
and open to anyone on campus.
This makes them the perfect op
ponunity for cocky posers decked
OUI in matching Nike wannups lO
get dominated by girls, profes-sors, ,ind deaning staff. On a
side note, I think that u would be
great to see a of 3-<m•3 basketball
gan1e between the Bon ladies and
t.he LC Adn1inls1ra1ion.
Althoush 111; 100 late 10 get
on board for the table tennis
tournament, the other lntramu
tal events are just starling up.
The 3-on-3 basketball tourna
ment begins February 19th,
Games are played Monday and Wednesday nights at 7:30pm.
To sign your team up email

events for spring imramurals
arc: a triathalon, co-ed volley
ball. league softball, and nag
