Petition withdrawn, LC goes into real estate
No vote on bylaws
Proponents of the con­
troversial bylaw change
withdrew their petition
due to a lack of sup­
port that they blame
on a misinformation
campaign and a biased
press.
by Erin Halek
Late Wednesday night, the
prop-0nents of the ASLC Bylaws
amendments withdrew the peti­
tion, citing misrepresentation of
the proposed amendments and a
biased press.
The withdrawal statement,
(found in its entirety oo page J)
rebuked the anti-Bylaws cam­
paign, calling it misleading and
"doling) the voters a disserve
Jsicl." The statement contested
the assenions of the anti-Bylaws
campaign that the proposed elec­
tion would constirnte unethical
behavior or double Jeopardy.
"Opponents would be wise to
match thci r knowledge of po­
liucal theory ,vi,h the volume
o( their rhetoric,• read the state-
mem.
"lt seems that the opposition
was more concerned with chalk­
ing up a personal victory of the
ego, rather than actually articu­
lating their issues with the By­
laws: the statement continued.
The proposed Bylaws amend­
ments would have resuuc1ured
the budgeting process for stu­
dent groups and changed stu­
dent representative to class
representative. After additional
concerns about making the Chief Media ll-0.ud and Club ~ports
full ,·oung members of ASLC
txccuuve council were commu­
nicated over email, the faculty
advisor 10 ASLC Council urged
w11hdrawal of the pethton and
noted that "late in the semester is
nol a good t.ime LO have a student
vote on something as imponam
as bylaws."
The withd rawnl statemem
noted a misrepresentation cam•
paign •so widespread that an
enom1ous educational campaign
would be necessary to reverse
the tide." The coverage from
the Plonur Log was called "ri­
diculously biased" and failing to
address "the aciual content or the
Bylaws."
Newiy appointed Ekcuons
Chair Knsun Juelsen could not
be reached for contact.
Opponents of the changes ex­
pressed rclicl over the withdraw­
al "I'm glad they came to some
sense and withdrew the petition
and realized that it'd be tuicthi­
cal to hold another election," said
Julian Dautremont-Smith.
"Given the amount of opposi­
tion, any rauonal person would
withdraw the Bylaws," satd Ma­
rie Knapp, fonner Chair of the
Elections Commission. Knapp
and the Elections Commissions
resigned last week, calling the
elccrioo unethical and damag•
ing to the elections process. "I
do applaud them for their acuons
now. The Bylaws amendments
were flawed from the begmnmg.
and no studem would suppon
them.-

College maintains
its accreditation
by Ben Waterhouse
The accreditation committee
of the Northwest Associations of
Colleges, Schools an.d Universi­
ties visited Lewis & Clark last
week. The visit was pan of an
interim evaluation of the Col­
lege that the commiuee perfonns
halfway between full evaluations
that happen every ten years.
"The review wem very well,
as far as I can tell," Dean of the
College Curtis Johnson said in
an Interview this Monday. •·we
should come through with I'lying
colors." This ls good news for
studems, who can rest assured
that their diplomas will hold the
weight of an accred11ed msmu­

The NWACSU v1s1ts every

last LC evaluauon fiv" years ago,
the inspectors expressed some
concerns about long range plan­
ning at the College and our mis­
sion statement: •they wamed us
to clearly identify what goals we
have, framed in the light of our
mission statement, to show that
we de.liver what we promise,"
Johnson said.
Since 1998, the College has
addressed the concerns of the
evaluation committee wiLh a
plethora of boards. discussi0n
groups, and commmees. The
final product was, according to
Johnson, good: "We typed up a

get around Newberg's
urban growth boundary
to sell a piece of prop­
erty as homes.
by Erin Halek
A proposed land develop­
ment outside of Newberg Or­
egon has led to a clash between
the College and members of the
Parrett Mountain Nelghbors
Alllance. The controversy sur­
rounds a neariy 60-acre piece of
land zoned for fam1 use, which
the College wishes to bring lmo
the Newberg Urban Reserve Area
for a future development of 194
homes to benefit the College en­
dowment.
The disagreemem centers
around a 59.5 acre pared of land
on the cast side of Newberg, on
Corral Creek Road. The land
1s owned by Roger and Sandra
~ Schaad of lleavenon, and 10%
deeded to Lewis & Clark. Both
panics wish to develop the land
for 194 houses, which would be
sold to provide retirement money
for the Schaads and endowment
and scholarship money for LC.
Neighbors see the proposed
development as an outside group
developing land solely for profit,
with no regard for neighborhood
liveability. They cite concerns
about increased traffic on rural
roads. air and water quality. and
"insenlingl residential develop­
ment in the middle of agricul­
tural land uses."
"I think it 0ies in Lhe face of
everything we've tried to do as
Oregonians to protect fam1land
from encroachment from de­
velopers," said I-Jarry Peterson­
Nedry, owner o[ the neighboring Chthalcm Wmery and Corral
Creek Vineyards. "I don\ believe
we should tap our heritage and
livability so Lewis & Oark and
a developer can make handsome
profits."
In July o[ 2001. the land par­
cel was put on the market for
$1,600,000 and described as
ideal for gro,ving grapes. I low­
ever, In a year, the piece did
not sell, and the Pioneer Log has
learned that other nearby pieces
of land were listed for much
less.
The College imually tried to
bring the Schaad property imo
the Urban Growth Boundary
(UGB) for development, but af­
ter being told that such apropos­
al was "not supponed by State
lan,d use law• by Barton Brierly,
City Planner of Newberg, that
proposal was withdrawn In No­
vember. Newberg is one of eight
cines m Oregon which has both
a UGB, which plans for land use
over Lhe next twenty years, and
an Urban Reserve Area (URA),
which provides Lhe next level of
incorporanon. should the UGB
prove inadequate.
"Tht-city of Newberg ha., a
unique program using urban
reserve as a step m making plan­
mng somewhat loager term,"
said Scott Staff, Vice Presidem
for College Relations.
Though incorporation of the
propeny into the URA would
be a more long term decision,
LC has argued that development
should begin now. because the
current urban grow1h boundary
is insufficient lo meet project
popttlat[on increases in New­
berg.
LC says the p-0pulauon of Newberg is expected to grow
by nearly 20.000 in the next
20 years, while current housing
available m the UGB will only
serve some 6,000.
Brierley el<plamcd the process
1s one of different cmena. "In or­
der toge, ,mo the UCB, theres a
prionty of lands and the first pn­
oriry is URA and the last is fam,
and forest land. So they're apply­
ing for URA which would rnovc
them from last priority to first."
The land is currently zoned
as exclusive fann use, and ls
surrounded by vineyards, which
makes u last on the list for in­
corporanon. However. Staff ex­
plained that a study by the Col­
lege had shown that the land was
only suitable for fanning grapes
in sporadic places. Thus, the
land was not seriously usable as
farm land.
The proposed development
1s nearby a current construction
space in Springbrook Oaks. LC
argues that newly developed in­
frastructure such as sewer and
.1,eservoir Imes make the propeny
t!,eaper 10 develop than other
possible sites. While the pro­
posed development would ben­
efit LC and the Scltaads, the Col­
lege believes that it is the most
cost-effective way for Newberg

Bloody Sunday massacre or l 972
,viii speak on c.ampus April 23 in
Miller i05. Mullan give a lccrnre
on 'Bloody Sunday: A Day When
History Split: A Personal Per­
spective with International Rel­
evance ... A question and answer
period and a screening of his
award winoi.ng 6Jro will follow
the lecture.
In 1972, Mullan attended his
fim civil rights rally in Nonhcrn
Ireland and was a witness when
British paratroopers opened fire
on the march. killing thineen
men and wounding founeen oth­
ers. The mas.sac.re was a pivotal
moment in Northern lnsh his­
tory, galvanizing a generation ol
young Irish activists ln the coun­
try. Mullan recently published Eyewitness Bloody Sunday: The
·1rurh, a collection of chronicles
and eye,vitness accounts of the
event. Shonly after publication,
British Prirne Minister Tony Blair
announced the fom1arion of a
new commission to investigate
the incident. Mullans work is
thought 10 be a catalyst for the
renewed imerest, though Mullan
himself credits the Bloody Sun­
da)' famiLles he worked with as
the rea] reason.
Eyewitness Bloody Sunday was
released a feature film last Oc­
tober and won awards at Sun•
dance, Berlin,Je_rusalem, Sydney,
and others. The film will be
shown after Mullan~ lecture.
Mullan was brought lo LC
through a 5MB gram by se­
mor Tnc1a Pearson. Pearson
became lmerestc<I m MullanS
work through David Campion~
Ireland seminar "llL~ work has made real pohucal difference in
the ficld of human rightS and ln
tem,s uf making those in power
face up to their actions," she said.
"As a civil rights activist and a
witness to history, he reminds us
not only that history happens to
real people but that one person
can make a difference in bringing
the truth to light."
Pearson also discussed the
in1portance of the non-violent
approach which Mullan took to
adclress the Bloody Sunday mas­
sacre. "Violence does not have to
beget violence," she said. "Mullan
found a non-violent way to work
against the forces of silence and
repression. I think attendees can
learn rnore abom the conflict in
Northern Ireland, which m many
ways mirrors religious and po­
liucal conflicts around the world,
and which in recent years has
shown hope for change." -P-io_n_e-er~---N ews------­

Pioneer Log staff response
by Pioneer Log Staff
The Pioneer Log has done its
best to cover the Bylaws issue in
an unbiased manner. and we are
disturbed by the accusation that
a biased media is in part respon­
sible for the decision to withdraw
them.
The news coverage in the Pio­
nur Log has been confined to an
initial story in March detailing the
budget process and a story on
April 11"' about the resignation of
the Elections Commission.
The initial article allowed both
Ethan Chutkow. a public sup­
porter of the bylaws at the 1ime,
and Julian Dautremont-Smith, a
critic of the changes, to express
their views on u,e new process.
Llkewise. the story about the
Elections Commission resigna­
tion allowed both sides to express
their opinions of the process In
very candid language.
Though vague, we are led to
believe the proponents of the By­
laws are referencing an editorial
on the 11"' which detailed prob­
lems with the Bylaws, in the opin­
ion of Erin Haick. While it is true
that Haick is the Editor-In-Chief
of the Pioneer Log, the editorial in quest10n ran under her own by­
lrne, and made no pretenuons to
represent anyone but herself.
There is no guar­
antee that disagree­
ments with an
editorial warrant
the same amount of
space for rebuttal,
nor ... that the "other
side" ... would be
noti£.ed before such
an editorial was
printed.
The Bylaws proponents seem
to think that the Pioneer Log
should have contacted them be­
fore this editorial ran and solic­
ited a counterargument. There
is no guarantee in any newspaper
that disagreements with a previ­
ous editorial warrant the same
amount or spac" for rebuual, nor
ls it understood that the "other
side" would be notified before such nn editorial was pnnted.
Moreover, we would challenge
the authors or this statement
abouL their own communica.tion
with the newspaper. The only
formal discussion between the
Pioneer Log and those directly
connected with the Bylaws was
begun on Monday, April I 4"' at
6:03pm, which inquired whether
the Pioneer Log would reserve
space for the proponents of the
Bylaws to make their statements.
Although the deadline for leL­
ters 10 the editor is published
in the paper weekly. and ,even
though this inquiry about space
was received afru that deadline
had already passed, the deadline
was pushed back 24 hours to ac­
commodate as much material as
was needed to address the. By­
laws. In addition. a 5x4 box of
advertising space was provided
for each side.
After the later deadline
has passed, and even up until
Wednesday night at l0:26pm. the
proponents or the Bylaws seemed
remarkably interested in com­
plaining about media biases, but
not inclined to provide their own
material when every attempt was
made to work with them_ his is Piolog's last issue.

by Jeff Marshall
Perhaps lhe best-known pro­
vision or the 1972 Educational
Amendments was Title IX, which
reads as follows:
No person in the United States
shall, on the basis of sex. be ex­
cluded from participation in,
be denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination un­
der any educational programs or

to the NCAA's l 999-2000 Gen•
dcr Equity Repon, opponun,ues
for high school males have risen
6.9 percent and those for college
males have grown 23 percent as a
result of the act.
There is snll tremendous need
for Tille IX protection. however.
Women make up 54 pcrccm
of college students bu1 receive
only 33 percent of college a1h­
lc1 ic budgets and 30 percent of
recruitment dollars. according
to the GER. The Women's Sports
Foundation claims that 80 per­
cent of high schools and colleges
are still out of compliance.
However, what is often forgot•
ten is 1hal Title IX does nol apply
only to sports Between 1973
and 1994. female high school
graduates enrolled in college rose
from 43 percent to 63 percent,
according to the Department of
Education In 1971, 18 percent
of women and 26 percent of men
completed four years of college.
In 1994, 27 percent of each did.
The gains we.re even more profound in post-gra ate edu•
callon. From 1972 t 1994, the
percentage of medical degrees
awarded to women grew from 9
to 38: the percentage for dental
degrees went from I to 38, and
law degrees from 7 to 43.
The United States has outdis­
tanced most Western European
narions in female high school
graduation rates, with 87 percent
in I 992. TILie IX has also drnmoti•
cally increased female opponuni­
ties and performance in science
and math, where il is one of only
J 1 coumnes with no grade 8 gen­
der gap in the Third International
Math and Science Srudy. The gen•
der gap remaining at grade 12
shows the imponance of reLain­
l11g Title IX. however.
Perhaps the most important
argumem for Title IX is the 30
percent decline in female dropout
rates bet ween J 980 and 1990.
While we may tend Lo get caught
up i.n Lhe spons issue, Title IX has
created imponam gains at all lev­
els of education for both women

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Almost three percent of college women -that's one in 36 -are victims of rape pr attempted rape during one academic year, ac­
cording to a new study by the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice. The National Sexual Violence Resource
Center is spearheading the month-long program to raise awareness about sexual violence, alert victims to the services that are
avilable to them and encourage people to fight back against prevallng attitudes that foster sexual violence. In a world where 35.3
female college students per 1000 are sexually victimized, according to 1996 survey study called "Sexual Victimization," The Pio­
neer Log feels this is an important issue for Lewis & Clark College students to consider. To that end, we are offering several articles
that inform students about the campus resources available to sexual assault victims and the ways both male and female students
can be empowered by knowledge and self-defense skills. Keep this information in mind even beyond this month of awareness.
Sexually assaulted: There is help on campus

This Is one of the many ways
college students are sexually as­
saulted dunng their years on
campus, and 70% of those situ­
ations involve alcohol.

'This was set up because a stu­

appropriate to have a system on
