Lewis & Clark community members gather to reminisce about
when flower power ruled Palatine Hill
by Angela Webber II news editor
Professor John Callahan reflects on Lewis & Clark in 1967.
The Aubrey Watzek Library
hosted a panel discussion last Fri­
day about what Lewis & Clark
was like 40 years ago. Former
professor Jean Ward, alumni and •
track and cross-country coach
David Fix ('70), college donor
and former staff member Doro­
thy Stafford, and Professor John
Callahan reflected on the world
and college environment during
the time around 1967. The event
was pare of an ongoing celebra­
tion recogmzmg 40 years since
che construction of Waczek Li­
brary.
The audience consisted mostly
of current and former staff and
faculty, with several older alumni
also present. "It seemed like the
panel was mostly for people who
were here back then," said Sarah
Staben ('09). "There was me and
a couple other students, but chat
was pretty much it. le was very in­
teresting, though."
Each member of the panel re­
flected on his or her role in the
• coUege at the time. Jean Ward be­
gan by talking about the national
and international climate of the
time, with references co popular
entertainment ("The Graduate",
the first "Sesame Street" episode,
the Summer of Love), political is­
sues (racial tension and the Viet­
nam war), and other important
beginnings (the first Superbowl
and the first Earth Day).
Ward also spoke about her ex­
perience as one of the school's first
female professors. She said chat she was asked if she was planniJ}g
to have another child during her ...
time as a faculty member, a ques­
tion that would not be considered
appropriate-today.
Fix spoke about the changes
that happened in his four years
ac LC-including, of course, the
erection of the Waczek Library. He
also reflected on the change.of fo­
cus from traditions co necessities
and social consci~nce. He spoke
about curfew rules, academic re­
quirements of religion classes,
and frequent formal dances chat
were standard at che beginning
of his rime. He said that by the
end of his years at LC, many of
these traditions had been lost.
He described a transition from
the formal traditions -a dance in
Stamm in his lacer years chat in­
volved projections of oil and wa­
ter on the walls and loud, "trippy"
music.
Throughout the event, attend­
ees reflected on the way students
protested. Ward described a scene
when students were protesting
che building of the Agnes Flana­
gan Chapel, holding signs and
wearing ironed, button-up shires.
Fix described the emotions be­
hind the Vietnam War and draft
lotteries.
"Ic seems like students protest­
ed a lot more back then, and they
were better at it," said Scaben.
."That was really"inceresting."
There is currently an exhibit
of cultural texts and memorabilia
from 1967 in the Wac.zek Library. the Pioneer Log, September 21, 2007 .th_e_P_•_·o_n_e_er_L_o_g_,s_e_p_1_e_m_b_e_r_2_1_,2_0_0_7 ________ .... S@¥f--i--------------------•3_.

Longtime LC art professor Barbara Bartholomew dies
by Peter Beland /I staff writer
Barbara Bartholomew, Visiting Assistant Professor of Arr for 13 years, passed away
la.st Tues<hy from a sudden cardiac event.
Bartholomew is remembered for bcr insatiable passion for Ufeand arr. Her boundless
energy source susrained her ;e:,l fo, att thcoughout tbe school d<ty md well inro the eve­
ning. It was nor uneommon ro find h,cr in her office ar midnight or offering bits of advice
to fellow aighc owls in rhe studios of Fields.
Bartholomew believed chat "art can cransform life.• Friend and Lewis & Cl,rk Draw­
ing profC;1SO, Debra Beers joked that ac rimes ic seemed cha, Barbara was ''preaching
the word ... Her nowrious enthusiasm led to unique art projcas like drawing outside at
night, an exercise co-srimulai:c cre.arive energid usjng nature.
One of Bartholomew's most admirable characreristic:s was her deep compassion. She
once personally took a.sick cat found on campus roan animal care facility.
Bartholomew's compassion and enthusiasm were accompanied by a bevy of accom­
plishmenrs in tbe art world. With works in galleries in New York Ciry and in f'ordand's
Boners gaUery, her iconic use of black, whjte and ,ubdc warm hues was wdl known. Her
inreresrs in d,e Easr lead her 10 teach in colleges in Cniua and Japan and to show her
work rhere. Barrholoruew loved all forms of arr ,nd w:is well versed in philosophy, said
Beers. lndced, ntr qualiry of work was enhanced by such a holisric understanding of che
abstract.
Oo Monday, students and friends of Bartholomew gachercd for an informal memo­
rial in front of Fields arr building. The cornmltnal'tears of those who actended auc,rt 10

by Peter Beland // staff writer
Not tattooed, not scarred, probably
nor nursing a bender-induced hang•
over-Claire Cushing ('11) oddly asso•
ciates herself with Roadies. The Roadies
of Invisible Children rQ be exacr, who
represeut the disadvanragcd and dis­
pbccd ch.ildren of Nonbcrn Uganda.
A noil-profit organiiation formed
in the wake of , he groundbreaking
documentary of rhe same n .. 1.me, l11vjs­
ible Children's QC) goal is to bring ar­
rention ro and ameLioracc the siruarion
in coomcr-ridden Nord.tern Uganda
where children arc especiilly alfocred
A horbcd of violence, children are
forced on chc streets of the dries, in r.he
process robbed of basic cducarion. ·n,e
only 01.her alternative ro the streccs is co

Roadies, a group Qf roughly 50 IC
interns, roam the Srares sropping at
schools and ocher community ve-nues
pr<:sentin.g the movie as well as IC ini­
tiatives ro raise public awarem.-ss.
Cushing bec.1me interested in ilic
movement after presenting the movie as parr of an A,nnesty International
documentary film fesr iv,!. When Road­
ies visited her school they informed her
of the "Schools for Schools" program,
a program uniting US high schools
and colleges with 10 priority schools in
Northern Uganda.
Schools in the Srates·are put inco ten
regional groups which are paired with
the priority schools, the idea being d,ar
competi1iort within the US regions will
raise more mo,tey for tbe scbools.
Whatever school makes the most
money is awarded a rrip ro rheir respec;:­
tive school in Uganda co see where their
money wls.going, as wcll as co physicaJ ..

Cushing's sc:.hool won in her region.

h•d expected. She was there, improv•
ing rite prospects of countless Ugandan
children. "(Invisible Chjldrenl reaUy

said c .. shiug.
During the last round, IC was hop•
ing to raise $200,000-raiscd $1.2 mil•

Forget campus this weekend: discover PDX clubs
by Greg Miller// staff writer
It's rhewce.keod. and ir's rime co do some ..
rhing exciring for a ch:rnge. Ddinircly not

Before discussing rhc clubs themselves,
there are .i few guiddincs worth mentioning.
Firsr, make sure to bring a drivcrS License;

dubs subsequently menti.oned. Second, go
in a group. It is much more lirn (and safe)

Finally, when drinking bcfor~hand, re•

way, here are rhe recommended clubs for
those Pioneers lucky enough to be under 21.
Tue 6rs~ is Up From F/X, a I 8-plus dub
located at 833 SW Nairo Parkway. FX i.s
op<:n Friday and Sarurday nigh rs. Cover here is $10. FX plays mosrly r<1p and hjp-hop, and
as Haley Brill (' 10) said, '·Tue ghetto beat

The crowd here rends to be on rhc young­
er side, butcher¢ arc a few "older" men rhac
like ro hang around. ladies, this means bring

and young adults. But as Jamie Mooa ('LO)
says, "Regardless of your setual orientation,
you arcalmosr guaranreed ro have a blast. Ir's
the best underage club in Portland."
Cover is $7 on Fridays and $IO on Sarur•
days-. Fddays can sometimes be pretty quier,
"Keeping near your

Another "all~Jges• option is lhe Escape.
1he Escape is located ar 333 SW Park Av­

LC doesn't ignore God on a regular basis
by Anna Michaels // staff writer
The caregories that Lewis & Clark falls
under in rhe most receJu edition of the
Princeton Review's 366 Best Colkgr, seem
perfcccly fitting. Some rankings include
munber 6ve for "'Reefer Madness," number
nine for "'Birkensrock•\'Vearing, Tree,..Hug-­
ging, Clove-Smoking Vegetarians and num•
be.r 15 for "Srudencs Most Nostalgic For Bill
Clinton," just ro name just a fc.-·w.
Perhaps unsurprising to most studcntS,
the cacegory that LC ranked number one in
is''-SrndeJ\t$ Ignore Cod Oil a Regular Basis."'
Howe\1er, there are srudents that are oot only
religious. bur who have found a communicy
in wllich to religiously express rbemselves on_
campus.
71,e Jewish Student Union offers many
services ro the Jewish smdems on campus:
they provide rides for those chat wanr co

rioru; and work to /ill the •bscnce of being
surrounded by Jewish f.trnily and friends

Naralie Cbernu$ ('09), president
of JSU, said rhac in the group "sru·
de.ms char consider thcmsclvt'S culmr­
ally Jewish can make i, rbeir own and
decide how rhey warn co pracrice."
Chern1l$ feels rhar despire the rcpu•

acdvit..ies, such as this next wCCkcnd when
we are going camping :ir the beach and plao
w hose various service projecrs and provide
rides lO church."
Wbcn askt-d whether she feels disrcspecr­
cd on campus fo, her lx:liefs, Rodgers said,
.. Many of my Christian friends have told 1ne
ho\\' they were called srupid or ig1\or:uu for
believing as chey do. Although I have never
been openly ridiculed, J have experienced
snide looks or commc.ncs.
"'Even professors have, at tisncs, under­
handedly implied thor cerrain belief sysrems
are i ,walid or ridiculous. This is especially
djsrress:ing coming from people who claim
ro be open-minded and tolerant. Bur for the
most parr, people are willing to Usten :md di­
alog, and are respectful," said Rodgers.
Andrew Foo1e Cl 0), another Chrisrian
srudem, on the other hand feels thar im­

he finds acceptance from chose rhat consider

It is clear rhat even though LC has a repu·
tac-ion foa: being non-religious. studenrs Lhar
arc re1igiously-indir1ed are able ro express
d\emselves in their communiry of other re•
ligious friends.
Rodgers, on the other hand, is skeptical
about the stereotype thac the Princeton Re­
view gives. "I ,\follder about lll.u st.arisric, as

Discontented current and departed students post
impassioned notes protesting the administration
by Sarah Bobertz II staff writer
ou've heard the buzz in the hallways, seen the signs all over campus, and pushed your
way past other curious students to see what all the fuss is about. Mysterious handwrit­
ten letters from disgruntled current and former students began showing up on bulletin
boards across campus last week. The letters complain about a wide variety of perceived prob­
lems, from food quality on campus and concerns about classes to the fair treatment-of Lewis &
Clark employees. Action-A-Week, the group responsible for posting the letters, clain1s that the
letters are .. intended co encourage djscussion
and forum.• Action-A-Week, a group of four
core srudenrs led by Marn yo Mass in-Levey (' I 0)
began rheir work last spring, rabling ourside J. R.
Howard Hall and rhe Bon, asking srudencs ro
wricc letters co che administration co express
their frosrration. Massin-1.evcy also solicited
lerrers from friends rhar bad con~ded tbat they
wc.ren'r remming. 1he efforr produced J'learly
50 lerrcrs, raw, riddJcd with emotion, spc.lling
errors, and many of the same complajms. For
ics 6rst action, the group chose 10 reprcsea­

Despite ,he efforts of Action-A.Week IO cum
their "'postcring and Aiering initiative" into a

the lcctcrs as a way for discontented srudenrs co

"It sounds like whining, spoiled children. There
are ,vay more appropriate ways co voice your

Yer Acrion-A-Week member Addie Jones ('10)
sa.ys the action is about more d\an just bitch­

Brian Schuk,, ('IO) 1binks rhar Action-A-Week's

Two new profs restore Art History
by Dorothy Mix I/ staff writer
T his year. the Lewis & Clark Art Department wel­
comes f\'-'O ~dd.it.ions co the fuculty: Professor Mat­
mew Johnston and Professor Dawn Odell. l}orh
highly qualilicd, Johnston and Odell will help bolscer the
weak sister of the art major, arr history.
LC ATt History w·as in need of a restoration. last semes­
ter, no permanent and co,ai1wi11g fuculry 1nembers were on
campus. Though visiting and
soon-to-be-leaving professors
provided cla5$CS and resources
for students, a sense of stability
with IOJ\g-1cnn faculty mem­
bers was lacking in this side of
the department.
Now things arc changing
dramatically. As Ben David, the
chair of the deparunenc, sa_jd,
-I his is an excitiog time for che
an dcparunenc. le ls growing.
Exciting new arr hiscorians arc
joining an already strong ream
of studio &culty.•
Art history call now climb
the ranks a.~ an equal and com ..
plcmcm to LC Arr Studio, a.I•
ready markcxl by stellar profos­
sors and dedicated students.
\Vith the addition of two n_ew
art history prof=rs, rhe "or­
g-anic relationship berween ~tu­
dio and art history faculty" that
David feels is spc..•dal and cru ..
cial co me dcpartmcm will only
continue to strengthen.
Though many qualified in­
dividuals applied, Johnsron
and Odell best embodied the
cbaracrcriscic.s that mark the ex•
ccptional faculty here at Lewis
and Clack. "We were looking
for oumanding teachers and
scholars ,har "'ere able co reach
broadly and make connections
between different disc,iplincs,"' said David. "Bpth Professor Johnston and Professor Oddi
ar<: interdisciplinary thinkers."
Johnston, 1hough a respected art bjsrorian, has extensive
experience with an srndio. Graduaring as :1 srudio major from
Yale. Johnston went on co work with publication and design
for a publisher. This background experience in printmaking
allows Johnston ro connect art history and studio, helping
students t6 undersc..1,nd, com­
municate, and draw upo11 both
sides of the department. "'1 es ..
pccially wane to help che studio
majors bring a knowledge of
art l:Ustory to their work. Many
of my assignments are geared
towards srudio people," say$
Johnston.
In addition to building
bridges between $tudio and art
hi.story. the deparm\en.1.ohas an­
other gap in need of bridging:
Eastern versus Western tradi ..
uo□s. Odell, a specialist in 17th
century art from both Asia and
Europe, hopes ro help LC stu­
denrs,aspredominanrlywesrern
thinkers, ro "learn thar Chinese.
and Asian arc can transform vi ..
sual cuJni re and the way we ap­
proach art in general."
Odell also brings personal
experience from borh cultures;
while she was ,ajscd on the
East Coast of me United States,
she has spent extend<.-d rime
in Taiwan an.d, mosr recently,
five months in Shanghai on a
Fulbright reaching fellowship.
David hopes Odell "will hdp
co break down what had been
too much of a d.ivide betwceu
East and West. Jhis split is arti­
fick1I/' he said. ""\Y/e are lookir\g
fonvard to more conversation
across Eastern and Western arc
hisrory."
The stand.rd of academic and applied
experience held by both Johnston ,,,d
Odell sers a solid foundation for LC arr
hiscory and a vaJuable resource for non ..
majors. Alrc.'ady, new classes arc in the
malting, including History of Photography
and Pre-Colombia11 ,m, and more are in
store. "Two new hires met :1: basic thresh­
old for diversity of reaching," David said.
"We now have me breadth and depth fo·, a
liberal ans curriculum." With ,he addition
of highly qualified individuals like Johnson
and Odell, it seems the LC art department
is finally burge..>ning ro irs full porenrial.

Katie, the srar of her state-championship high school soc­
cer team, is playing on the first Pio women's soccer team in
over a decade.
'l'hese days she fondly recollecrs being excited about,
"being ... a part of die building process" of the women's soc­
cer team. She rccaUs with a smile the bus rides to and from
games char were reminiscent of teeoagc sleepovers.
~, witl Sl1re miss the camaraderie of rhe ream/' said Bur•
neu. She maintains that some of her closest friends coday
are chose freshman teammates from four y<.-ars ago;
Bu, it hasn't all been a smooch ride for Burncn. She has
witnessed "a lack of respect around the conference for LC."
J n a conference where 1he Pios go up against some of rhe
best Division 111 reams (# I I UPS) in the na,ion, Bumm
explains, "you need co earn respect by playing up to their
level."
But getting physical with beucr teams pays a physical
price ... I'm like :wold lady!" exclaims Burnerr in jcsr. "My
kn~ and back are always sore."
PhysicaJ st.rain is an asp<.,-ct of the game she will not
miss. "Last year alone, the team stistained two blown-out
ACl..s." But she laughirJgy recogniics the advantages of it
as weJf. "I goess with all 1he exercise I did manage ro avoid
Lhe 'freshman t 5'!"
TI1is season signifies the end of chc beginning for ,he
Pioneer women's soccer program and jcs maturation into
conference preseoce, something Katie bas been ..-proud to
be a part of."

Claren1ont delivers Pios with 36-6 loss
Football looks far and wide for a win ·co break cheir 19 game losing screak, traveling co Claremont, Calif. on
Saturday and Chicago, Ill. next week.
Coming off of a 52-0 rou, ar rhe hands ofOccidenral and
fucing a ream finish<..-d sixth oot of seven ceams in chcir con­
forence las, season, ,he Pioneers folr they had a good chance
;,r beating the Pomona.J'>iczcr Sagchens in Claremont, Calif.
la.sr Samrday aften1oon.
'[he way things began, ir looked as though a win might
be order. The footbaU team's losing sm·ak had hit 19 games
with the opening loss ,o OccidenraJ, and the Pios were itch-
ing for a win. ,
The Pios g:J:ve up an early t0uchdown but then answered
on their next possession with ;:i. I 2wplay drive to Set up an 30~
yard Andrew Foote ('10) 6cld goal from 30 yards out. On ,he
next Pomona possession defensive back Joe Morris ('11) in­
tt:rcepced a Sagchen pass and rhc scr up chc Foore for anorher
~eld goal, this one from 28 yards out. This gave tbe Pios a
7 .. 6 Jcad heading inro rhc second quarter. But that ,vas where
the Pios furl in Lhe Califom.ia sun came 10 an abrupt end.
1l1e Pios did not score again in Lhc game, :rnd 20 second
quarrer Sagchcn pointS gave them a 27-6 lead·going into the
half. Defensively, the l>ios muggk-d to consisrendy s1op rhe
Sagehcn offense.
''Our own miscakcs cost us 1.he game," said linebacker by Hunter Franks// editor-in-chief
Ryan Chapman ('08). "It scemt-d every 1ime ,hq were in
r.hird down we would commit a pen:a1ry or blow an assign~
ment to keep there drive aJivc. \'<le opened the door for rhe.m.
a.nd they w•lked right through it."
The Pios snuggled co be con.stsccnt on offense as well,
cornminingsevcral (.()Sdy turnovers.
"Turnovers changed the game," said Head Coach Chris
Sulages. "We need to be more consisrenc." The Sagehens
scored another rouchdown and tacked on a safety in che sec~
ond half co come away with a 36.-6 victory.
The loss was a tough one co swallow; Otle that rhc Pios
hope they won't feel •gain afrer their upcoming game on Sep.
29 against Chieago.
"We don'1 ,vam co have th:lr fee.ling in our stomachs on
the next plane ride home; said Chapman. "'Ih0t will be ouc
motivation [for the Chicago game)."
Tlie Pios hope to build on what they did against Pomona.
"'Our one goal as:) ream is to improve every week," said Su~
lages. "'We did improve but not as much as we woold like ...
