Campus forum explores multiple facets of war
by Beka Feathers
In an a1Lemp1 to give students,
faculty, and staff a chance to dis·
cuss a possible war with Iraq, on
Tuesday, Mar. 11 Lewis & Clark
hosted a campus-wide forum
coritled "Campus Forum on the
Prospect of War." Both students
and professors participated in
the program, which lasted three
hours and included panels, mu
sic, and open mike periods for
comments from the audience.
Despite skepticism from
some sectors, President Michael
Mooney emphasized that the
point of the forum was to pro•
Vlde a place for bipartisan discus
. s1on of the potential war.
"This is no rally for peace. It's
certainly not a rally for war, it's
no rally at all" he said. 'We are
g:uhered as a community or StU·
dents and teachers to reflect.•

her presentation. •1 must make

Campus Safety review board: fair to
students or unnecessary politics?
Campus Safety review
boards would investi•
gate serious complaints
against Campus Safety
by Joe Clock
Julian Dautremont-Smith,
Chit£ Justice of the Peer Re11ew
Board. has been meeting with ad
ministrators to promote the. ere•
arion of a Campus Safety review
board to respond to complaints
of inappropriate action by Cam•
pus Safety,
Dautremont-Smith's Idea Is
based on the review boards that
are formed to deal with students
who are m senous violation of
College policies, and would be
made up or one student, one fac
ulty member, and a staff member
wbo was not part of Residence
Life.
Currently, students with com•
plaints against Campus Safety
can meet with the Director of
Campus Safety, 8iU Curtin, or
Campus Safety Supervisor Benny
Yanez to discuss them. The Cam
pus Safety officers involved are
then able to respond to the com
plaints, and Curtin or Yanez will
decide what action' is necessary.
After this process, if a student
feels that Curtin and Yanez's de-cision did not faidy deal with a
complaint, they can bring It to
College Provost, Jane Atkinson,
who can overrule Campus Safc
tys decision.
That this procedure is not in
the Pathfind.er is one of Dau
tremom-SmiLh:S motivations (or
creating a Campus Safety review
board. If a review board were cre
ated, students would follow the
existing procedure, but Atkinson
would have the power to form
a review board if she felt it was
necessary.
Dautremont-Smith feels that
a re11ew board would be more
fair than the cx!$1tng procedure,
saymg, •The perception with Bill
Curtin ts that he t.S not really on_
your side, lhat he doesn\ really understand ... He b;ls to be on
good working terms ,vith his
officers, and so he may be more
likely to favor them 1f it is the
word of a Campus Safety Officer
agrunst the word of a student.•
Curtin, however, is opposed
to the formation of a Campus
Safety rev,ew board. •1 think it is
redundant; 1 think 11 will hamper
our ability to deal with officer
GR>PHIC CQUA:f!;sY CM.flUS wrn
complaints." he said, continu•
ing that It would add a layer of
"intngue that is not going to be
helpful• and "politicize the event,
and take ll tO a level that we really
don 'l want ll to go to.•
Curan defends Campus Safe
ty's current procedure for dcnlmg
with complam1s, pomllng out
that while they happen relauvely infrequently, t.hey arc helpful
to Campus Safety and are dealt
with cffectl\'ely.
"Officers always team a lot
when we sit down with them
and talk about some of the inter
acuons they have had that have
been negative," Curtin said.
Currm cites that Campus
Safety let an offic.er go last fall
in response to a sen.es of com
plaints directed toward that
person. The officer V!olated
his probationary penod, winch
was then extended and he again
violated, after which he was ter
minated.
Students do have 1nOuence
over some aspects of Campus
Safety's actions. Every time Cam•
pus Safety hires an officer, Cunin
contacts ASLC and Invites them
to send a student to participate
In the interview panel.
Both Curtin and Dautrem
ont-Smith are strongly in favor
of student participation on the
Interview panels. Curtin says
that student input bas been very
helpful In hiring officers, Dau
tremont-Smith adds that, •the
program should definitely be
conrinued, it Is very valuable,
it ls not a substitute for student
Input when Campus Safety acts
inappropriately, however• Professor or Law Paula Abra
hamson addressed the propo~d
war In the light of constitutional
law, and stressed that the right
of the United States to attack
Iraq was more complicated than
just the inte.rpretntion of the
Constitution. "It 1s important to
remember that the protecuon or
liberty does not lie only m the
hands of the courts,• she sa1cl
Students who auended the
forum found it informative and

Proposed bylaws are a
cause for concern
I am concerned about 1he
new bybw changes proposed by
Exccu1ive Council ror the March
17-18 election. I am adamantly
oppo~d 10 these bylaw changes
beC>luse I believe they do not benefit studems. My re=ns are
as follows:
The new bylaws leave only
40% of the budget for students
groups, approximately 2.5% or
$9,000 less lhan is curren1ly
awarded 10 thrni. Executive
Council, which under the new
bylaws wm now bold 3/5 or 60%
of fees, will have no check on ils
budgeong decision shon or the
vo1e of one Executive CouncU
member over another.
Two problems •arise from this:
first, unlike CBC, in ca= whe_re
Council deadlQcks, the new By
laws do not force a budgetary
decision. Thus, the money would
cemaio unallocated. The result Is
no better if a friendly Council ts
in office -while the budgetary
decisions would be made, they
would refl..:1 the. opinions of Ex
ecutive Council and not necessar
ily those or the student body.
Under the new bylaws. SOFA
wi.lJ actually receive a smaller
budge1. This smaller budget
will greatly impact SOFAs abil
ity 10 book large evenLS such as
1he Speaker Series wllh Michael
Moore and Ralph Nader.
Additionally, SOFA will also
funct[on as a fonding board,
where tl1eir own programming
budgel will be hamstrung by ln
cre=d demands from s1udent
groups Arter spending the inlual
budget. every SOFA dec1S1on 10
provide resources for a student
group would reqmre a budgeung
decision from Council.
The Charter and Budget
Comml11ec ls created by the VP
of Student Organizations and
carefully features a cross section
of students based on group m
volvemem, class, residence, and
gender 10 create a board which
reflects the general interests of the
student body.
These s1udenlS are approved
by Executive Council before CBC
begins budgeting. Nothing in
the General Elections procedure
guarantees those I hat run for of
fice, much less get elected, wi'U
reflect such a diversegroup.
Due lo the incre.ased number
or budgeting board.s (Executive
Council, CBC. GAB, SAAB (now
funding Symposia) and SOFA)
and the varied goals assigned in
new bylaws, lhe budgNing pro
cess will become less trnnsparent,
making difficult for lhe aver
age student to discern wbo has
the money apphcable to his/her
wants and needs.
The ruocl.ion of Execuuve
Council is 10 act as a st~dent gov
e.rnmenL, as a voice for t.he""asso
ciated s1udems• as a whole-not
as a budgeting board. The new
bylaws rerocus Lhe original intent
of our smdcm government on
money, Execulive Council already
has a great deal of respoYlSlbihty
,vithout needing to hold budget•
ing mee1mgs weekly.
The new bylaws create more
bureaucracy and less 1ran.spar
ency, exactly what students DO
NOT NEED. I urge you 10 vote
NO on these bylaw changes.

April Fools' Day brings Ozma, Superdrag to LC

Pl-01'0 COURTESY OZMA After sifting through a few
more odd pages, I found what I
was looking for: a young, melodic
rock band from Pasadena who are
currently wuring with Superdrag
and, thanks 10 SOFAs dedication,

their way from Seaule 10 Denver. But Ozma did exactly what

Julian Tulips presents the
creepy side of night music

duces a creepy, late-night album
of electronic piano oddness. A
wide vane1y of sounds and styles
make appearances on the album.
but Lbe centerpiece always re
mains Tulips' strange view of the
world.
"Tl,e Umbrella Pany" is the
work of JuUan Tulips, a Ponland
based artisl wuh two full-length
albums 10 his credit. The album
focuses on electronic sounds and
textures, moving from smooth
and blended to sharp an.cl pri•ckly.
A few of Tulips' old piano-and
voice compositions are Included,
like the concen-hall style "Stick

"My Invisible Ashtray" layers
in the electronics but finally set•

electronics float and fade over the
rhythm, and Tulips' voice blends
into a seamless whole.
The album sounds like a diary
written with sweetness and pol•
son, full or barbed insults about
dally occurrences .and melodra
mas. The lyrics veer from linear
st0rytelling 10 fragmentary words
and phrases evoking an unnamed
mood. The sarcastic words and

The album's biggest 0aw is
shoddy production. Tulips' voice
is frequently deeply buned m the
mix to the extent that even with
his enunciated delivery, the lyrics
are unlmelligible except with a
crib sheet. The lyrics focus inor
dinately on freaks and outsiders.
In the llve se1ting, the produc
tion problems are less noticeable,
and the spoken-word segments
(which usually break up the album's 0ow) work much beuer

Campus forum explores multiple facets of war
by Beka Feathers
In an a1Lemp1 to give students,
faculty, and staff a chance to dis·
cuss a possible war with Iraq, on
Tuesday, Mar. 11 Lewis & Clark
hosted a campus-wide forum
coritled "Campus Forum on the
Prospect of War." Both students
and professors participated in
the program, which lasted three
hours and included panels, mu
sic, and open mike periods for
comments from the audience.
Despite skepticism from
some sectors, President Michael
Mooney emphasized that the
point of the forum was to pro•
Vlde a place for bipartisan discus
. s1on of the potential war.
"This is no rally for peace. It's
certainly not a rally for war, it's
no rally at all" he said. 'We are
g:uhered as a community or StU·
dents and teachers to reflect.•
Assistant Professor of Phi

dressed the point of the forum in
her presentation. •1 must make
my reasons clear to mysel[so that
I can present them to others:
she said. • I mus, realize that I
have not only the •bility, but the
duty, to change my mind if oth•

Campus Safety review board: fair to
students or unnecessary politics?
Campus Safety review
boards would investi•
gate serious complaints
against Campus Safety
by Joe Clock
Julian Dautremont-Smith,
Chit£ Justice of the Peer Re11ew
Board. has been meeting with ad
ministrators to promote the. ere•
arion of a Campus Safety review
board to respond to complaints
of inappropriate action by Cam•
pus Safety,
Dautremont-Smith's Idea Is
based on the review boards that
are formed to deal with students
who are m senous violation of
College policies, and would be
made up or one student, one fac
ulty member, and a staff member
wbo was not part of Residence
Life.
Currently, students with com•
plaints against Campus Safety
can meet with the Director of
Campus Safety, 8iU Curtin, or
Campus Safety Supervisor Benny
Yanez to discuss them. The Cam
pus Safety officers involved are
then able to respond to the com
plaints, and Curtin or Yanez will
decide what action' is necessary.
After this process, if a student
feels that Curtin and Yanez's de-cision did not faidy deal with a
complaint, they can bring It to
College Provost, Jane Atkinson,
who can overrule Campus Safc
tys decision.
That this procedure is not in
the Pathfind.er is one of Dau
tremom-SmiLh:S motivations (or
creating a Campus Safety review
board. If a review board were cre
ated, students would follow the
existing procedure, but Atkinson
would have the power to form
a review board if she felt it was
necessary.
Dautremont-Smith feels that
a re11ew board would be more
fair than the cx!$1tng procedure,
saymg, •The perception with Bill
Curtin ts that he t.S not really on_
your side, lhat he doesn\ really understand ... He b;ls to be on
good working terms ,vith his
officers, and so he may be more
likely to favor them 1f it is the
word of a Campus Safety Officer
agrunst the word of a student.•
Curtin, however, is opposed
to the formation of a Campus
Safety rev,ew board. •1 think it is
redundant; 1 think 11 will hamper
our ability to deal with officer
GR>PHIC CQUA:f!;sY CM.flUS wrn
complaints." he said, continu•
ing that It would add a layer of
"intngue that is not going to be
helpful• and "politicize the event,
and take ll tO a level that we really
don 'l want ll to go to.•
Curan defends Campus Safe
ty's current procedure for dcnlmg
with complam1s, pomllng out
that while they happen relauvely infrequently, t.hey arc helpful
to Campus Safety and are dealt
with cffectl\'ely.
"Officers always team a lot
when we sit down with them
and talk about some of the inter
acuons they have had that have
been negative," Curtin said.
Currm cites that Campus
Safety let an offic.er go last fall
in response to a sen.es of com
plaints directed toward that
person. The officer V!olated
his probationary penod, winch
was then extended and he again
violated, after which he was ter
minated.
Students do have 1nOuence
over some aspects of Campus
Safety's actions. Every time Cam•
pus Safety hires an officer, Cunin
contacts ASLC and Invites them
to send a student to participate
In the interview panel.
Both Curtin and Dautrem
ont-Smith are strongly in favor
of student participation on the
Interview panels. Curtin says
that student input bas been very
helpful In hiring officers, Dau
tremont-Smith adds that, •the
program should definitely be
conrinued, it Is very valuable,
it ls not a substitute for student
Input when Campus Safety acts
inappropriately, however• Professor or Law Paula Abra
hamson addressed the propo~d
war In the light of constitutional
law, and stressed that the right
of the United States to attack
Iraq was more complicated than
just the inte.rpretntion of the
Constitution. "It 1s important to
remember that the protecuon or
liberty does not lie only m the
hands of the courts,• she sa1cl
Students who auended the
forum found it informative and
a genuine anempt at bip:irtisan•
ship. Freshman Leigh 1-!alverson
said she was very impressed wnh
the administration 00:td faculty's
efforts.
•1 think the quesuons were
typical but honest and the stu
dents participated well,' she
addod
Other topics mentioned al the
lorum were the medias presen
tation of the events of the past

which would broaden further the

"Videos from Lhe Resistance" m

The maJority of videos were of

This was 1he second time !hat

February.
The videos covered d!llerent

Peace and love, not war
Can someone please explain
lo me why the US should invade
Iraq?
"Just because the president
says so· does NOT hold up ror
me. Nol only does the UN dis
approve of this war, bm an even
higher power is demanding
peace.
I am proud lo proclaim that
as a Christian and follower of the
Prince of Peace, I am by definition
a pacifist I serve G•d before any
country. and the will of G•d on
this matter is clear. Even the Pope
opposes the further destructlon of
G • ds creation cau~d by war.
The Bible itself clearly states
that followers of Jesus must take
radical action to bring about
peace and justice for all people.
As 1he bumper sucker says.
•when Jesus s.,id 'Love your en
emies,' He probably didn't mean
kiU them:
Despite fear or harassmenl
from 1he negative co=rvative
forces active across campus, l
invite 1he reason-minded hawks
Olli there to drop a leuer in my
mailbox(663) explaining why
they support this war and, H the
war 1s going lo happen whether
peace lovers like 11 or nol, why do
hawks care so much 1hat doves
are protesting it?
Some war lovers have claimed
lhal holding peace marches and
havmg opinions against war or
fend them, ignoring all 1he people
who wnm peace BECAUSE Lhey
love Amenca, all 1he people who
wan1 peace because they don,
wam their fantily members In lhe
Am1y lo be killed, and all 1he vet
erans who don) wam their chil
dren and grandchildren 10 have
10 figh1 In another war. •
Please realize 1ha1 ii is offensive
10 me that 1he presidem warns to
act like G•a and take away hu
man life for whatever excuse he
creates. Naturally, Christians are
offended that 1he US government
wanLS 10 bomb other people of
1he Book. in n country lhat hous
es so many Biblical places.
Please realize. 100, how of
fensive il is when hawks in 1he
media, m the government, or on
1his campus wam 10 take away
my rreedom 10 practice my reli
gion by working for peace. They
may have no moral codes to live
by, bu1 Christianity is not the only

Proposed bylaws are a
cause for concern
I am concerned about 1he
new bybw changes proposed by
Exccu1ive Council ror the March
17-18 election. I am adamantly
oppo~d 10 these bylaw changes
beC>luse I believe they do not benefit studems. My re=ns are
as follows:
The new bylaws leave only
40% of the budget for students
groups, approximately 2.5% or
$9,000 less lhan is curren1ly
awarded 10 thrni. Executive
Council, which under the new
bylaws wm now bold 3/5 or 60%
of fees, will have no check on ils
budgeong decision shon or the
vo1e of one Executive CouncU
member over another.
Two problems •arise from this:
first, unlike CBC, in ca= whe_re
Council deadlQcks, the new By
laws do not force a budgetary
decision. Thus, the money would
cemaio unallocated. The result Is
no better if a friendly Council ts
in office -while the budgetary
decisions would be made, they
would refl..:1 the. opinions of Ex
ecutive Council and not necessar
ily those or the student body.
Under the new bylaws. SOFA
wi.lJ actually receive a smaller
budge1. This smaller budget
will greatly impact SOFAs abil
ity 10 book large evenLS such as
1he Speaker Series wllh Michael
Moore and Ralph Nader.
Additionally, SOFA will also
funct[on as a fonding board,
where tl1eir own programming
budgel will be hamstrung by ln
cre=d demands from s1udent
groups Arter spending the inlual
budget. every SOFA dec1S1on 10
provide resources for a student
group would reqmre a budgeung
decision from Council.
The Charter and Budget

was looking for: a young, melodic

Julian Tulips presents the
creepy side of night music

duces a creepy, late-night album
of electronic piano oddness. A
wide vane1y of sounds and styles
make appearances on the album.
but Lbe centerpiece always re
mains Tulips' strange view of the
world.
"Tl,e Umbrella Pany" is the
work of JuUan Tulips, a Ponland
based artisl wuh two full-length
albums 10 his credit. The album
focuses on electronic sounds and
textures, moving from smooth
and blended to sharp an.cl pri•ckly.
A few of Tulips' old piano-and
voice compositions are Included,
like the concen-hall style "Stick

"My Invisible Ashtray" layers
in the electronics but finally set•

electronics float and fade over the
rhythm, and Tulips' voice blends
into a seamless whole.
The album sounds like a diary
written with sweetness and pol•
son, full or barbed insults about
dally occurrences .and melodra
mas. The lyrics veer from linear
st0rytelling 10 fragmentary words
and phrases evoking an unnamed
mood. The sarcastic words and

The album's biggest 0aw is
shoddy production. Tulips' voice
is frequently deeply buned m the
mix to the extent that even with
his enunciated delivery, the lyrics
are unlmelligible except with a
crib sheet. The lyrics focus inor
dinately on freaks and outsiders.
In the llve se1ting, the produc
tion problems are less noticeable,
and the spoken-word segments
(which usually break up the album's 0ow) work much beuer
as between-song banter. 1'uUps'

comncted ART hoping 10 brtng

final dress rehearsal on campus

Wiener accepted. "My goo! was

Soon ART's schedule again
presented a confl1c1 when the
LC Theatre depanmem an
nounced its mainstage schedule.
But by the time the depanment
announced I.hat their production
would be "The Laramie Projeet,"
Wiener did not feel cqmfon3ble
canceling the ART performance..
AdministTators, stud~ms. fac

remarked, "My imemion was

Audience members of the
ART performance were en
couraged to auend the campus

fellow students. ~1 would hope
that the message of 'The laramie

tomorrow. Both games take place
at the LC tenms dome.
Leading the Pios resurgence auended LC last year but opted
not to play. The tennis bug hit her
hard over the off-season and her
love of the game pushed her to try
out for the team in 2003 Pla}•ng
al munber four, three, and two
singles, she has compiled a 6-2
record with a 1-0 mark at the
number two sloL
Groszhan is a transfer from Ya
kima Valley Community College.
At LC she has primanly played at
the number two spot where she
has fout victories to only three
loses. Backing up Schipani is
not a difficult task. With the best
player in the conference heading
the Pioneer team, opponents will
often place a weaker opponent
at the number one spot -all but
conceding that match and play
ing thetr true number one player
against Groszhan. opponents is that the chances
for victory are less and less likely
the further down the order they
get. Sophomores Emily Craft and
Kristin Head have a combined 9-
2 record at the 6ve and six singles
slots. Head ls undefeated this year
and Craft lost her only conference
match when she was forced to
play number four singles against
powerhouse Unfield.
With a balanced lineup and
emotional leadership from the
upperclassmen, the Pios will be
making their case 10 be named
"Champion• at the end of the
season. Until then, check out
