by Angela Webber// news editor Senior Adan Vielma wins film
competitions with computer
animated commercials
Adan Vielma ('08), a Communications majo1; is communicating up a storm this semester. He has just won a national video contest sponsored
by the Task Force on the Future of American Innovation, won the popidar vote on a contest for 76 brand gas stations, and, afo1ig with room­
mate Matt Christenson (' I 0) is in the running to direct a music video for the band Motion City Soundtrack. Is he in it for the money, or the
fame? What does he want to be when he grows up? Wasn't he one of the electric car guys? Vielma sat down with the Pioneer Log to answer some
of these questions ..
Pioneer Log; What arc you doing
these days?
Adan Vielma: I'm sleeping, or eat•
ing, or in class ... and when I'm
001 doing thar, I'm doing :mima ..
1ion de$igns or wairing for comest
results.
How did you start c,nteri.n_s these
video conte.us?
h !'Ill srorred rhis summer.., I was
sining in bed with my acw laptop
computer. I was surfing Youll1bc,
thinking I could w:uch some ninny
videos before I wen, ro bed. And I
smmblcd upon chis contest for Bcsl
Buy. where you could win SI 5,000
ro deck om your dorm mom. So I
,hough, maybe I could do some­
Lhing \\'Cird th~H people would re ..
,lly like. So after working straight
for thret' day.s. I Cnt('rcd the comest
and got nimh place, which w:i.s :1
$250 gift card. which I govc to •
F..mily friend.
What other comcsts have you co ..
le.red.?
The Task Force on the Furure of
American lnnov-.1tion-th~s is the
comest I woo, first place, actu•
ally. ·n1is wa.-. a two.minute video
about American Innovations. So I
took three things, CPS, Radar, and
an MRI. and I built rhem, using
the innovation of my mind. I re•
,lly w:1111ed ro do blueprints-so I
sraned drawing, made a blucprim,
and then l designed a cwo-minmc
animation and it all c::ime together.
And I got a ctll after a while from
1he head guy, after I thoughr I <l
losi-and they flew me down 10 DC
last week for the awards ceremony.
"Ibis oth<r comest, rhc 76 g:ts

Adan Vielma spends much of his time animating videos for various online film competi­
tions, and expects to continue in the field after graduating in the spring.
the (><'Opie on t:1mpus who voted
for me, I wouldn~, have gouen that
oi:herwise.
lhe Motion Ci,y Soundtrack
comcsr- chi.s comest is still going
on. I found out abou1 this through
my roommarc IM:1u Christenson
('10)], who reolly loves this band.
The comest is for rhe oppormnity
to direct one of their mu.sic vid•
cos, and we're scrnifin:,Hsrs righL
now. \Y/c had a confere11cc all wirh
some record executive.~ and ,he
b~11\d, :tnd it was amning.
What arc you doing thisfor?
I'm not doing it for I he money :u
all. E.1eh con1es1 I enter, I already
specify who fhc money goes co. For
example, for ,he 76 gas commcrciaJ. I won a yt·a.r's worth of gas, which
I'm giving co my sister, mostly be­
cause she's worried :ibou, mo,\ey.
and 1 don't rc:a11y worry roo much.
I'm 1101 doing it for the money, I
give it away 10 _people who really,
really need it, mostly F..mily rclot­
ed. If I'm doing it for anything. I
do it for the f'un, especially the Mo-
1ion City Soundtrnck. It's a lor of
fun and I really enjoy ir.
What kinds of things do your
films have i,n com.moo!
I would s.1y my animations arc col•
orful, and isometric. It could be
described as a Aad-gradirnt 30.
My favorite thing I've done is ,his
pop-up book thing we mnde for
the Morion Cir)' Sound1t:lck vid-co -and ir's beautiful, it's colorful,
and you just w:uu ro play with it. le
looks like child's 10ys. Bue I hated ir
at fi rsr because it cook me so long.
What has been the best moment
of your Li.fe? Your LC ca.rec.r? Your
6lm career?
-n,is year has be<:n the be,t time
ever that I've had ar Lewis & Clark
-bm it's also bce11 che weirdest
time because I'm noc really con•
nccted ro the LC community. I'm
irying new things. but 1 also expect
and realize I'll b<.· crying \'Cry new
things like li\'ing without college
\'Cry vc:ry shortly. I t·hink cveryonc:­
goes through cha1.
7 he best moment of my life has
to be at the beginning of any idea. The moment when I dream abou1
something, it feels like it has infi­
oite possibili1y. The uan or any
dre:im is the best feding-this weird
essence of wonderful ncss.
How did you gee into video? How
do you ha"·e time?
I've do1H~ A:ash ~rnimations since
fre_shman year of high school. In
a class, one of my c<:achcrs gave
me • trial CD for flash p_roduci:s.
so l c:n<lc,,-d up rrying ii out and ir
changed my life. I don', really do
video. I do animarion 3n<l then
s..we it as a video. Ir's a nick, rally.
I'm a person and I know wh.u
looks cool -I'm like you. I like
things th::it I like. :rnd I want co
nuke chings rhac I like.
I have rime because I don't do
anything dsc. I 'don'r do homework
and I don', do d:asswork. I don't
puc the effort in th:u evcr>•one: else
does bec:iuse I don', ree the posirivc
benefirs. Why do sd1oolwork when
I could a.I ready be doing wha1· I'll
be doing in nine months once I
graduate?
What do you plan to do after
graduating?
The same: thing I am now-I h:ive
some offers for freelance :1ninu­
rion, so I'll do ,ha, for• while. l'\'c
also been working for a business we
SL1.ned dealing with renewable en­

The Fighting Hamster
by Matt Savage // senior staff writer
'1 cut the taxes on everybody I didn't cut them. The Congress cut
them. I asked them t.o cut them. "
--George W Bush, Washington, D. C., Aug. 6, 2004
As most Americans 1ook at our upcoming Presidentlal
election, they ore often focused on the \'Z,r in Iraq or
healthcare. Rue there is anod1cr crisis looming 1hat many
Amr:.ricans are paying linlc or no ,:iuention to, which will
h;wc disastrous conscquencts if nothing i.s done.
Las, Wcdnc.sday, ,he dollar hit iis !owes, against the
Euro. 111c stock m:;irket continues ,o decline. 111is coma
,s a Chinese central bank \'ice director. Xu Jian, said ,he
dollar was '"losing iL~ smti1s as du:: wotld currency," a.ccording
10 Bl,,omherg News. Continuing dcficics could le:ld 10
Lhe selling off of Amc,ic:on assc15, which would ,hrow our
economy into ~ssion.
How <lid 1his hapl"'n? Prcsidenr Bush, with the
support of Congress, gave.-out m:usive rax cues that went
disproponiono1dy to the wcol,hy, while growing domestic
spending. He then, again with the support of Congress,
proceeded to spend hundred; of billions o( dollor> on ,he
War in Iraq wiLhout rescindjng Lhosc ta>-CUL$ or curling
spending. As a rC$ulr, rhc value of rhc dollar has gone down
dram:.:idally. and continues to do so, as we concinut' ro
borrow ro finance our spending.
·1h(n nvo rtbt("<~ events broug.hr the crisis to where ir
is 1oday. M:m)' in the 1r1iddlc--class who owned their own
homes but did 1101 sec.-income growth ncvcrchcless seem Ukc:
they did, by refinancing ,he growing value of ,heir homC$.
Spccul3tion and foolish loans lead to ,he now infamous
11mongage crisis". as Lhe real value of rC-:U est.ate caught up
with people, The second was the rise is g:tS pl'ices. wbkh
increased the amounc of money chat ,v;lS following OYcrsca.s.
Before this crisis gets any worse, and foreign bank.s do
start to sell off dollar-based assets, our country needs ,o wake up and do so_m«hing. Herc arc I here ,bin&5 ,hat Bush
could do roday to help nntigate ,his crisis.
·me first would be co starr 3 LU [0 pay for ,he War in
lrnq. I know its wishful d,inking, bur i, would be bcncr
for our <.-conomy if we acrua.lly started paying for this war
now. rather than leaving it to oor desccndams to pay for.
This shorr term sacrifio: wo111d in1mcdiatdy help our
long 1crm focal health, and dcuta.se the amount
we arc borrowing on the n:uional credit card.
We also could ,,.m pulling troops ou1 of
Iraq. which would be even bcncr for our
economy (among ochc:r thing,;).
111e second would be to get serious
ahout domestic sources of energy :ind
conservation, Every time \\c buy oil and
natural gai from ove.rsc:-JS we increase our
trade ddicir, and c.bc ;imounc we have co
borrow 10 make up for 1har. IF we could
decrease chc amount of e.nr-rgy we arc
boying, and int.rt3$e our producing of
ahc::mative energies, we could borrow Im.
And finally. we have ,o St3rt saving. I
would propose a sa"ings accounr for all
Americans chat people ..:ou1d put a ccrm.in
amount of their income imo, rax-frec.
The account$ ,vould be limited ro safe
in,•cstmenrs, and people: wirh low enough incomes could
receive marching funds to encourage saving. People would
b, able 10 ral« money ou, for limircd reason.<, like hcal,hcar<
or redrcmcm.
If" we !)t:lrc raking rhcsc steps, \\'C: can s.·tve our dollar-b:ised economy. Our if we keep spending money like cJ1crc·s no

Young activist catches the
eye of serial cynic Rush Limbaugh
by Myles Creed // staff writer
Charlee Lockwood, a young Alaskan native and friend of the writer, speaks out to help prevent global warming
and ave her native culture from melting away Little did she know she would attract so much negative attention
from political commentator, Rush Limbaugh. Myles Creed shares his opinions on Limbaugh's reaction.
• Charlee Lockwood is a friend of mine. She was rais..>d
in S,. Michael, Alaska, a Native comrnuni<y of 250, and
she ancndcd Mt. Edgccurnbc High School in Sitka, Alasb
with me. As a child, she was r.1ughr 10 cherish her family's

a U.S. House subcommictce commcming on
i:he threat of global warming to her people's
subsiStenee lifesrylc and, csscmiolly, their
entire! culture.
Before Congress, Lockwood said, "I e's
really scary to lose our tradiiion, our culture,
and we've been living here for rhousands of
years and it's nor jusr rhar we're losing our
food, Ir's losing our homes., and because we
are spirirually connected. and cmocionaJly. and
physically connected 10 our homes, and there
a.re so many. so many, communities tbat arc

It was a very c!morion:tl rcstimony,
one that illtmr:ned her concern ahour
chc cfft-cts of global warming on her
community.
So, wo.,ld yo<t be 1hre:1cencd
by Lockwood' When I looked
ac adn.com, the websicc for rhc
Anchorage Daily News, I was
appalled :rnd disgusted by
what I found on the fronr
page. Wha1 I found was an
article abou1 Rush Limbaugh
and his atr.1ck on my friend.
On his R;idio Program, los1
Monday, Limbaugh said: "lc's for the adv:ince1rtcm of a politicaJ issu<" that wtll grow the si1.c
of go\fcrnrnenc and increase their control O\'Cr everyone." He
went on to say that bcr tcstimon)' dut day made him, •really
want to puke. l just want to throw up." He hdicvcd 1lun
Lockwood's emotional lt"stimony was scagcd and used for
political purposes. Alld he-did not stop.
On his Tuesday progr:.t.m, he bl::isted her furtJ1er, saying
i:hai global warnung has had no effect in Alaska since she was
bon1 (:at1 uucr lie}. and evet, goi,,g so far co obtaht background
information oo her. He said, "'She didn't notice ~nything was
wrong until she was told. lr is obvious that che young girl
has been brninw:1..Shcd and propagandized." He makes t.his
condusion because she did not know very much ahouc global
w:1.nning until her sophomote yea!', when she joined our high
school's environmental group, M,. Edgccumbe-Alash Youth
for En\fironmcmal Action. pan of a statewide organization of
students.
I doub, i:hat Limbaugh's research is valid. but if i1 was,
he may have found out a litrle more:-abour Charlcc. 1his ls
whar I know. J first me.-Ch.1rlcc when we were both frcslunan

she cared about global warming and wamed it make it end.
Lockwood is nor a pawn; she a young woman wanting to
secure a better future for her, her ancestors, and her people.,
I understond that r.1king Rush Limbaugh seriously is a
mistake and I nlso beJicve wholche.1rtedly in rhc imporrancc
of free speech. But I also believe in respect ond I also
know understand iliac ffijs country was built upon morals.
Llmb;mgh i:ties co porrray himself as a man of morals. bur
rhar is supremely laughable. I do nor ask him 10 quit his
radio show, but I do wish th.at such a man wirh so many
lisreners would at lea.st have the incq;ricy to show at least
some modest rcspccr. Or maybe it's his lis·tcnc.rs who have
rhe problem. Either way, he and those who egg him on lack
respect.
As shown by tbc Professor of Economics Eban Good.stein'$
Focus ,he Nation Campaign. global warming is real. It is not
a figment of the liberal imagination and Lockwood is not a
pawn, but a rc:il person, affected by global warming. ■th-c•P•i•o.ne.e.r.L

Sushi yum yum: Your guide to it all
by Danny Garcia// head copy editor
Dr Im! ~ 1,!' ~ one often stumbles upon various obstacles. Some sushi is too
expensive, some is likely to be followed by food poisoning and some is jusc hard to find. These dilem­
mas can even n,rn away people wbo have already decided char eating raw fish is a good idea. There is
a solucion co overcoming these obstacles, and char is co read the following reviews of four sushi joints
around Portland chat will either make you laugh, cry, or wish you had gone our for pizza.
m,m ,&N'U,1t1'<Q!
Sushi Takahashi, loc,ited just
norrh of Burnside on Broadway,
is the 6rst mentionable spot. It"s
a funky lirde place wich an easily
missed red poswrior. It's not in
the nice.it pan of town, bur it~s
only a bir of a walk from Pio­
neer Square. Once inside, the
w,,lk sec.ms ml1Ch mo far for
such a di.smal sushi joint.
Oby, so chat was preuy
harsh. 1>crhaps there ,ve.te
high c.xpectations afrer going co
chc Takahashi on Glisan on the castside, which is owned
by che same people. Regardless, if the firsr ching you noricc
when walking imo a suslti joi,nt is th~ smell or fish. just wa_lk
right ouc ,be door. Fish shouldn't smell like fish; usually rhat's
jusr a sign of bad fish and one would be wise co move onco
rhr next spot,
The inside is pretty small. There are" few rabies that sur­
round a cenrral sushi bar whc::re chc chefs prepare the food.
Jnstead of circulacillg on ;L conventional belt, phucs of SlL'i.hi
sir arop a crain thai rolls along the bar. Ar first I his idea seems
pretty neat. but ulcimately it doesn't functioo well. 1bcrc arc
only a few oars behind the rrajn. limiting the bais optioos.
It's beuer just co order specifics instead of pr-azing.
The price is righr. No pl:ue~coscs more than three bucks.
but you get cxacdy what you pay For. The ~lmon casted a
lirdc funky and the guacamole in the California rolls was
sporcy.
"01ough cheap and nm too fur away from Piom.'tr Square.
,his place should be• last resorr.
m£mJ
Jus1 sooth of Burnside on 13th Ave .. Masu is pretty inter­
esting•• fur as sushi joints go. Patrons encer through a small
door on the side of a building ,nd follow a Bight of mirs up
to rhe second Hoor. where t.hc rcst.auran1 opens up Jnro a bar/
lounge -ara that is the rcsrauranr.
1·his is quire • different world comp>rcd co Sushi T.,ka­
hasbi. Instead of a traditional sushi joinc wich Japanese para­
phernalia and a homey feel, Ma.;u is like a night dub. Ar
10 o·clock the place hecom~ a minors-free bar, so minors
should expect rake our •Iler about 9:30 p.m. Considering the
lack of air circulation, perhaps rake our i.~ rhc bcncr choice.
·n,c food here is okay, perhaps• lictle coo funcy, the price
can be pr<rcy src-cp. Alrno<r all rhc specialty rolls ore over SI 0,
and ther gee a little weird: 'Ilic 13th Avenue, for example,
included some roasted red peppers and • mna roll. lt was an
imcrc:sting .1ddition, but a linlt odd. Some strange season­
ing distsr«cd from what should h,ve been a good salmon.
Sometimes simp1c i.s jusr betrer. Mio Sushi is easily the place co go in Northwest. This 31,.
solurely :lmaz.ingsushi joint is quaint bur easy to miss. If 1.hey
rook down tht signs. it would look like any of the hc,uscssur ..
roundhlg it. Ln :J w:ly, it's pr<-ny incognito.
lhe resraurnnt isn~t necessarily the biggcsr joint in rown.
bur ir's comfonablc. There's plenty of room in chc middle
without rabies or chairs, which gives chc place a wonderful
flow.
l!1e food is phenomenal. Though the rolls arc on the
smaller side, rhe price is wdl within reason. For some reason,
when ~ting chis sushi a ,ya_rm feeling blossomed within ,nc.
Maybe ir was Lhc rice, maybe ic was a spice. buc soinet.hing
,,,..$ very diffcccm-a11d ,·ery good-about this food. 'l'he
specialty rolls here or< pretty fun coo. Try the Lovejoy, chc
Oregon or the Portland coils.
This place is amazing and in =-n ama:iing parr of town.
Highlight a trip down 23rd wirh a srop ar Mio Sushi-it will
nor disappoint.
Saburo's Sushi House is a sushi hoc s-po1, no doubt.
11,ough ir's located across the Sellwood Bridge, near d,e cor­
ner of llybc:e Blvd and Milwaukie Me, chis place is worth
che crip.
711c biggest «,mplaint about Saburo~or.. ;is any patro~
would know, is that wah times 11re astronomic.al. 'Ihc rCS(:)U4
rnnc opens for dinner mos1 night$ at 5:00 p.m., bu1 the linc­
sr-.arts 111 lease 15 minut~ e.1rlicr. Once the restaurant fills,
which doesn't take long considering it~ teeny proportions,
thl' wafr rime is ea~ily from 45 minutes 10 :u1 hour. Bur seri­
ously, the wair's worth it.

#21 Men's Basketball prepares to dominate,
by Hunter Franks // editor-in-chief
For everything that will be the same inside Pamplin this season. much will Ix: differ­
cr11. The faces will be familiar, as tl1c team returns four of five staners from last years
squad which finished 19-7 on the way 10 their first Nonhwcsl ConJcrcncc (NWC) cham­
pionship since 2002. TI1c style of play will be familiar. as the Pioneers long-standing U'3·
dition ofleuing it fly from behind the arc will once again be on display. The Pios ranked
13~ in the nation last season in 1hrce-poin1 field goals per game.
But there arc changes from last season 100. 11,e preseason NWC coaches poll picked
the Pios as the unanimous favorite 10 win the conference. Last season tliey were picked
10 finish founh in the preseason poll. This means that they will have tl1e bulls eye on their
back all season, as opposed 10 last season when they fought their way 10 the top. "l Our
#21 ranking) won't change us but will mo1iva1eoppone111s," said Head Coach Bob Gail­
lard. Junior guard Corey Allen expressed similar sentiments: "Last year, teams didn't
have us marked on their calendars. TI1is year we will probably be their most anticipatc-d
game in confercncc.h
Nol only will other teams in the conference be aflcr the Pios, but other teams in the
nation as well. since the Pios were muncd #21 in the nation in the prescason d3hoops.com
rankings. This is the first time tl1e Pios have been in tl1e preseason
national poll since 2002-2003 when they were
ranked 22"' after finishing up the 2001-2002
season as Lhc #9 team in the nation.
The Pios d.id receive five votes in the
NCAA DI LI national poll at the end oflast
season. bul never made it into lhc top
25. despite beating muionally-rankcd
Puget Sound on two separate occa­
sions. TI1is season. Puget Sound is
rnnked #19 in the dJhoops.com
national poll, despite being
picked 10 finish behind LC in
the conference. This is partially
due 10 the foci that Puget Sound
has more national recognition than
LC, as tl1ey won three straight NWC
championships from 2003-2006 and
advanced deep into the NCAA Dill
1oumamcn1 each oftbose times.
Another change this season is the new
coun in Pamplin. The project was complct-ed over the summer and the new floor features the LC logo (altx:il the old logo), OS well
a brand new playing surface. The new look and feel wil I also change in the stands this
season since crowds will undoubtedly be larger and more intense after Inst year's sue•
ccss. The Pios were undefeated at home last season ( 11-0) and look 10 continue this home
domination with the suppon of their fans. ·'Our fans are by far the biggest sixth man in
our league," said Associate Head Coach Dinari Foreman. "They arc crazy and we all love
it. ..
Several students. including Mike Orr ('08) and Andrew Barnes ('08), have created
1-shirts for the s1Uden1 cheering section which read ''37 inches of rain a year ... and 1ha1's
outside the gym," The taglinc is a reference 10 LC's love for the three-pointer. since mak­
ing a tluee is often referred 10 as "making it rain" in bnskc1ball.
A Faceb<J<Jk group "Poke ~,e Point Guard," founded by avid basketball fan and LC
alum Aron Phillips ('07). has 140 members and takes pride io using the popu'"r foccbook
feature 10 "poke" the opposing team's p0in1 guard and hopefully get into their head in tht
week preceding !heir game against LC.
There were glints of rising fnn supp0n last year, as a season-high 1,062 peoplea11end­
ed LC's final home against Puget Sound. Clearly, a winning team 1ransla1cs into higher
auendancc. This season. look for s1ude111s 10 line the baselines and fill the stands in a way
1ha1 hasn't been seen since the 2002 season. "'The fans took us 10 a different level last
year and we hope that it can get even better being that we nre sending seven seniors off,"
said Foreman.
The Pios will once again look 10 Thomas Tillery ('08) to handle tl1c ball. The Pios were
second in all of DIii last season in turnovers-per-game, allowing only 9.6 1umovers-per­
game. Tillery, one of the most well-rounded players in the NWC, will once :tgain look
10 drive 10 the basket and kick to the open Pios on the perimeter. ''Penetration is the key
10 our offense," said guard Mark Robinowirz ('08). If our guards can get into the IMe
and find the open man it is g()ing 10 be very hard 10 stop us." Allen agreed: "Drawing the
defender and then kicking out to an open shooter will be pivotal in winning our confer.
encr:.
Among the Pios' open shooters on the perimeter will be Robinowitz, Allen. Joey To­
boni ('08), and David Berggren ('09). who led the Pios in three-point auempts and has
made at least one three in 32 straight games. Berggren. standing at 6'6". has become in­
creasingly efficient al using his size and high release 10 spot-up over smaller guards.
Berggren, along with Toboni and Robinowitz (who came offtl1e bench). were the top
three scorers for tl1c Pios last season and it looks 10 be the same this season. as they ,,;11
most likely take tl1e majority of the three-point attempts.-Tl1e Pios will need 10 replact
last year's number five scorer, Jeff Christensen, who transferred 10 Division I Eastem
Washington this year. Staning spots will most likely be up in the air until conference
games begin, but the mostly likely candidate lo Stan in Christensen's place will be Allen.

be !he firs! off the bench. Pa1,enfuss transferred in from nearby Mt. Hood Community Col•
lege and Kollasch comes in from DI I Wes1em Staie College, where he average 7 .6 poinlS in
18 games last season.
The Pios will need 10 improve in several areas if they hope 10 get the NWC's au1oma1ic
bid into the NCAA Dll tournament. Defense is the most important aspect The l'ios are not
1he biggest of teams, with 6 '7'' Garren Waagmecster as !heir tallest player, the Pios often
1imes struggled to control the boards last season ... We don't necessarily need a big man. we
just need 10 be able 10 neutralize our opponents' opportunities in the paint," said Robinowitz.
"lfwc can rebound and llefcnd on the inside. we shouldn'i have 100 much trl>uble."
The Pios will depend on Geoe Rivera ('08) 10 anchor the defense. Rivera puUed down
an avernge of 5.7 boards per game last season and domina1cd· in tlie pain!, scuing the LC
single-season blocked sholS record at 51. "We need to improve our tenacity on the rebounds,
as often times we arc ou1sizcd," said Allen. Whal the Pios lack in size. they make up for in
quickness. "Forcing other teams to match up with our speed and quickness is harder tl1an us
matching up with their size," said Allen.
Free tltrows ,vere another lhom in the Pios·
side last season. They finished last in conference in rrec-tlirow percentage and struggled
10 make key free-throws in their season-ending loss at Whitworth last senson. "In our losses
lust year we missed cou111lcss free throws that proved to be very costly.'' said Robinowitz.
Another key for the Pios will be get6ng off to a good start. Last season, tl,ey go1 off
10 a mediocre 4-3 start in conference until they rolled off ten straight conference wins. If
they are able to re1um to 1he fomi they had during that winning streak; if they are able to
get tlie inside-out game working, hold opposing teams down on the boards, and make free
throws, then all the cylinders will be rolling. The na­
tional ranking will climb, the student support will
be enormous, the wins will fall in10 place, and
the postscason berth that eluded tlie Pios last
year will become a reality. Foreman, who
knows himself what it's like to be·in the
postseason with an LC basketball 1cam,
summed it up: "This is a pretty veter•
an team and they all undersland we
bavc a great chance to do some•
thing special."

Friends of Rain come pouring down
Faculty Contemporary Music Ensemble presents concert featuring unique pieces and arrangements.
by Sam Stigler I/ webmaster
I had the good fonunc S•turday night 10 mend the fall
concert pur On by Frie,1ds of Rain. rhe music depanmcm's
F:iculcy Coniemporary Music Ensemble. To be clear, chis
wa.~ not a concc-n in the cradidonal sense of the word: The
band was noc playing the kind o( music chat we listen to on
a daily basis, chcrc were no ampUJiers or loudspe:tkers 10 be
seen, and much of the performance sec.med more 3c.adcm.ic
than concert-like. And instead of hordes of college studcncs
jamming the concerc. the majority of the audience was old
t:nough co be my parcnrs ... or older. SrilJ, it was quite an in­
cercsting experience.
While cbe even, w.is officially put on by the faculcy music
ensemble, in actualicy differenr people came 10 stage for dif­
ferent parL<. of the performance.
The first co play for 'chc audience was a duo consisting of
fostruc1or of Flute Nancy Teskey oo A1J1e (of cour<e), and
Carol Bid (another
music foculcy mem­
ber, who is a piano
,cacher among other
professions) on pia­
no. They ploy<d Ol­
ivier Messiaen's Le
Merle Noir. which
imitates bird sounds.
Teskey and Biel, boch
1mnating djffcrcnt
birds (one a black­
bird, le merlc noir),
tried to compete with
each other for domi­
nance through their
sounds. Although
both pu1 on a good
performance, 1e5kcy

her seemingly never­
ending bird ctlls.

Krirltr preceded his music wi1h a panic•
ularly lengthy. informltivc o:pl:tnarion.
You nuy think such an o:planation about
music over 50 years old would be boring,
but it was comple1dy mindboggling how
much life Krir1.Cr brought in10 the songs
he pl,yed. The songs were in rwo groups,
by rwo separa« composers: First he played
three of William Walton's Five Bagardlcs
from 1971, and then three preludes rerni­
niscc-nt ofAamenco by Br.tzilian compo~r
Hci,or Villalobo.,.
Kri11.cr was followed by Susan Mcll<:rry
singing soprano, wi~h Stephanie "'lnomp­
son accompanying her on the piano. They
«cared us to Trois Melodics by Olivier
M~iaen-or co be more ex:acr, nvo by
Mcss-i:lcn and one by his morhcr. h was really amazing t0
heir McBerry sing: Jt's been quite some time since I've been treated to such singing.
Allen Machews followed them by playing 11.rce songs on
chc guitar by Cuba.n composer Leo Brouwer, based on Afri­
ca1l Jove swrics-"The Warrior's Harp," "Plight of the Lovers
through the Valley of Echoes." and "Ballad of chc Young Girl
in Love."
I was particularly sm,ck by how he held his guitar. Un­
like mos, people 1h01 you see pl•ying guitar, Marhews held
ii almosr in• vertical posirion (albeit at a slight slanc), rather
than a horizontal one~ He larcr explained it's more comfort•
able 10 play ,hat way. Machc,"" was very good, and the music
he played sounded almost like something I might hear at a
concert in present day {although maybe that's bocause it was
wrirtcn i1l 1981 ).
The concert nea~d k~ end with a violin quanct. Hong
Chou and Elisa Boynton played violin, Joel Belgique played
violo, Dori.en de Wn played cello,
and George Skipwonh was behind
the piono. ·n,c quarrct play<-d anoth­

King Lear:
Stallings goes

PHOTOBVERINCE£S

Ir's hard, even if you uy, to find cwo different pro­
ductions of a ploy 1har are exactly the same. Each scr
and each ncror bring something uaiquc 10 each perfor­
mance. ond each person has a slightly different idea of
how a character or scene should be: por'craycd. As a re­
suh, :1 production c:,n be as oomplic.arc-d as one want.~
10 make it. Johnny Stallings' production of K,11g ltnr
wa~ done without props, ce).),:umcs. or much of a ost.
Srnllings ployed every characr<r, usually using placc:-­
ment and sometimes cone of voice co indk:ue charac•
1cr changes. He would :lJso occasionally come ouc oF
choracrer in ,he m.iddle of a scene just long enough ro
ad_d a quick stage direcrion or indicare chc entrance of
a new character. J n order co take care of some complex•
icy issues, he added his own commcncary in bem'ecn
scenes and summarized paNs he chose nor to acr om.
\,(/hilt-some of bl$ summ:uics were Slticc and concise.
others ua.ilcd off into some of his own specularion on
Shakespc-.uc- 1hough he wou.ld somcrimcs r:i.lk as ifhe
were simply in conversation with the audience., he kept
a professional cone throughout.
Al,hough these devices arc clever, they also make
opporrunicy for oor~fuslon. However, Stallings m:rn­
agcd ro execute the performance quice well. His char•
acrcr changes were convincing and usually extremely
apparent, so there was ,,cry lircle confi.a.s-ion aboul who
h(' wa.~ at :1 given time. He also chose the scenes to per­
form well; most scenes h.ad no more than rwo or three
charncrcrs in rhtm, buc were. also very significant to che
plor of chc play. Ir was easy ro follow what '""' going
on if you had.n'1 seen the ploy, bur it included enough
passages 1h>1 one could g« rhe feel of ,he rexr.
11,e producrion ,vu one well worth $Ceing. While it
doesn't fully serve as an actual production of King Le,tr,
St::tllings adds some great demcms that aren't a1ways
present in 3 tr:tditional produetion. It's noc everyday

A few problems and proposed solutions for the failure that is season two of "Heroes."
by Kit Shields // staff writer
Pew gr1..-at TV shows go out on rop of rhc.ir game. buc it is a
rare and bitarre torrurc to wntch 3 brilliant, beloved program
jump the shark by the b<:ginningof season rwo. As much as ir
fXtins ine co S."l}' it, "Heroes" is going down in a bla1.e ot c:rap.
lhe show's second season has been plagued by a profLLsion
of unnecessary plodincs and foolish character progrc.ssions. It
is as if the writers wamcd to see what would happen if they
took nearly evcryrhing funs liked abouc the incmliblc firs,
season, threw it away, and replaced it with dumb stuff. lhus,
most of the original ch:uacccrs have gonen .somcv,thar Jamer,
while :m ~ndlc:ss parade of new and incn:asingly unJcvclopcd
characters is inuoduet.--d.
Formerly badass bleeding-heart Peter Petrelli has been off
recnaeling Angela's Ashes ever since he went Licdc Boy over
Manhartan in ,he season one finale. What's more, he's totally
forgoncn how awesome he iS. and I h~we co s.1y, by w~k six of
him doing nothing bur makc:--our with Sincad O'Flannigan
and get Gaelic ranoos he's really going to regrer once he gelS
his memory back and fin cl< our he's neirhcr Irish nor a tool,
I'm srarcing co forget hnw awesome
he is as well.
Mcanwh ile, adorable, indestruc­
tible Claire has a n,w, insufferable,
flying pile or poop for a boyfriend.
Not since--weli. not since Nik­
ki has a character so desperately
needed ,o be killed off. Rccenrly,
he convinced Claire: that. insread
of saving the world from tomfool­
ery, she should be using her powers
,o play pranks on drunken, bitchy
cheerleaders. Coody! I was so hop­
ing chat 1hefd make the show a
lirde bit more like a Lindsay Lohan
movie! -rheir lirdc Lois and Clark

talgic for the time when Claire's
love life included anempted rape
and ma.n.sfo.ughrer.
\'<Iha, of rhe rest of the original
Heroes? Nathan Perrelli had one
really cool fight s,:ene with Park-
man, but that's about aU he's done
sina: single-ha.ndedly saving New Yo,k City. l'arkman's de,1-
ing with daddy issues nnd probably doing some other srulf
I don't care abou1. Nikki is ooce mo(e vacillating berween
stupid hero and srupid villain, Sylar is gorging himself on
clmrros, and Mohinder is working both with The Company
and against ir to cre3re a vaccine~slash~disea.se chac will save
Molly and desrroy humankind.
Ac the same time as chcy ruin dmr-:,c1ers [\•e grown to
love, r.he writers have decided ,o inrroducc a bunch of people
1 can hare immedi,ncly. Ve,onica Mars showed up in Ireland
for about 30 seconds, did some bad acting, and chen dis,,p­
pcared. Maya and ber 1ornllydoomt-d brother Alejandro con­
cinuc ro baffle me with their strange and seemingly worrhless
power of holding hands. 7:hcn there's muscle-memory girl.
whose name escapes me (I w..tnt ro say ic's something with a
K ... Ka-Katrina?}. Her power is unb<:lievably cool bur all
she docs is ,>1hinc,
And yet, for all of these new and newly stupid cl,amcrers,
I can't help bur feel like we're righr back where we started
i.n season one. 1..3-St season, Nikki was inching eve., .. 50 .. s)ow)y
coward rcleva,1ce, but she's slid all cbe way back to point-less this season. Pttcr has forgotten how m use his powers
3nd what to do with chem, and he's goc another gitlfrien.d co
get kilk-<l. Chamcrers arc still relying on Lsaac's paintings for
plot advancement, e,·cn rhough chat fucker's been dead for
months. HRG is back to shady dealings with the. Ha.itian. al­
lhough this time with more B-movic one .. lincrs. Sylar is still
alise ,ind nought)·, a.nd ano,her hero is systematically killing
,he others.
And, oh yeah, something bad is going ro happen•in New
Yock Again. A few weeks ago. afrer finally deciding 10 do
somerhing ime-rcsting, Peter and Maureen McMulligan lrav•
died into che future only to discover rha, New York has gone
10 shir. At fim, I honestly thought he had trnvellcd back ro
,he past in which he actually docs blow up the Big Apple.
Alas, n~ir appears this season's 6nalc will simply be an un­
doubtedly less cool rehashing of last year's. Near as I can tell,
season rn•o is for funs who liked season one but wished it
were terrible.
But it docsn'r have to end rhis way. I b<:lieve ,ha, "He­
roes" can be s:1.vcd. Herc ~re a
few suggestions to get things
back on track:
I) Kill Clo.ire's boyfritnd.
Any good plan of action must
begin with chis crucial seep.
2) Give Peter his freakillg
memory back. His amnesia was
probably ,he single worsr idea
the writers have had this season.
lt~s no1 coo lace co 6x h, though.
