• Hochstettler weighs in on
Cookson sexual
harassment scandal
by Rachel Schiff /I editor-in-chief
Dean Peter Cookson resigned from his position at the
Graduate School on Sept. 5, the day that Willamette Week
brolee a story d~tailing the sexual harassment charges lev­
eled against him by a former assistant. One ·week later,
President Tom Hochstettler held an open staff meeting to
discuss Cookson's resignation.
The president agreed to sit down with the Pioneer Log
this Ti,esday to clarify his role in rectifying the situation
in 2005.
PL: Why did the college con­
tinue t◊ list Dean Cookson as Lhe
ronl'act pcrSon for reporting ioci ..
dents of sexual harassment ahcr
the incident?
TH: I know 1hat thel'e are peo•
pie. who think thar when you ace
ra1kingabout a d<.-an or an admini.s­
uator or a prdidcm or a vice prcsi­
denror eve11 a supervisor, tJ,ar there
should 1lot be a second chance. In
this case, knowing all of the facts
and circumsta11ccs, the second
thance was jus1 ified aod f.tir.
'll)e shocking words r.har people
read. as quoted in chr \'(/i//ameru
\~ek bad a□ immediacy of rcvul•
.;on. I felt ,h0t 25 months ago and
I came 10 rer,ns with rhar and made
a decision rhar he could continue
on. In those 25 momhs. that deci­
sion was day in and day out jus1i-
6ed ,nd 001.hiog happened over
rhose 25 months ro indicate chat
chat rrust was misplaced.
There were g:ag.s in place so in­
div~duals who were nor privy ro
ihose fucrs should have felt cncirdy
comfortable dealing with the dean
in his cleanly role. When those
facts became known, the culrure
changed entirely, so rhar ,hey felt
!hat his abiliry t0 funcr.ion was fa.
cally <9mpromiscd.
PL: Wa; there any monitoring
system in place during those 25
months? TH: Yes. I W:t.$ 1neeting with
the dean on a regular basis and
other individuals v,:crc in constant
touch and watching what the dean
wnsdoing.
l'L: During the staff meet­
ing you said. "You all need to
look: inside yourselves and decide
whether you believe people can
change." Was the clean undergo•
ing any counseling or training to
facilitate that chang~?
TH: i crn1r co1'IH'nem 01'1 char
bec..1use ii was pare our arrangc:-­
mcnr.
PL: If given the chance, would
you do anything differently in re­
gards to the incident?
TH: We are doing a stud)' of
whether or nor there: can be some
kind of a body rhar can advise rhe
president on issues like this. This is
a decision I had {0 m::ike entirely
011 my own afrer having only been
i1\ my position for one year.
PL: Why doesn't the college
have a uro-tole.rance policy for
sexual harassment?
TH: The dlvcrsit)' committee,
whjch I chair, is eiainini1\g exacrly
,h::1t c.1u~rio11 as we speak. I believe
deeply in peoples' ability ,o be bet­
ter than tbc-y were. If I didr1'1 be­

PL:Was
it worth
possibly
putting
staff and
$tudents
at risk for
the oppor-
tunity for
one ptr$On to change?
TH: I don', fed rhar J put any­
one ar risk. If people can change,
they ch:rnge. Peier had ch:rnged. If
this incident had happened IO or
20 years ago, and if Peter had left
rhc community, how would peo­

pr3c1 icalJy nonexistent energy policy. For that matter, yo\1 may want to know which candj­
date ,·viii implemenr :my environment.ii policy in rhe fi..-sr place. Keep in mind d1:n every
candid:ue ► eve.n those rhar h~ve openly admirred ~o vo1ing ag.1.inst renew:1ble:- ene:.rgy ini1i:i.­
rivcs (Fred 1hompson~ anyone?), is trying ro suck up ro voters by creating an environmental
"'plan" of some son.
\Xlith thar said, let me begin with the most progressive or all the environmenml policies vy­
ing for VOler anenrion. Democr:nic c.andid:i.te Denoi.s Kucinich has proj>Qsed a \Vorks Green
Administration (WGA), modeled afie.r the Works Pro~l'C$S Administration 1har Franklin
Rooscvdr created. 1"hc WGA would aim to create millions of new jobs working on envi•
momenta.I initiatives. KucinichS plan also calls for incn .. -ascd federal funding for renewable­
energy technology and the phase•ou1 of coal and nuclear plams. Furchermore, he supporn;
a "Global Green Oe,d." ro push 1he development of renewable energy in 1lte U.S. The pl.an
would cre:ue an alliance with developing narions 10 help bring them clean. affordable energy
technologies. Kucinich has also infamously drawn a connection between "global warring and
globaJ warming," referring to rhc aced to move av,,ay from rd.Lance on coal and foreign oil.
Other Oemoemric and (gasp!) a few GOP c::rndidarcs offer promi$C$ IO curb greenhouse
gas emissions and clean up rhe environmeor. Barack Obama has pledged co ""rutn rhe global
warming crisis inco a moment of opporrun.it)' for innovation and job creation'" by imple·
mcnting a markct•basecl cap and trade system to reduce carbon emissions 80 pc.rccm by
2050. He has also called for higher fuel efficiency sm□dards and a cap on emissions from
i11dustriaJ plants a.nd oil rehncries.
(n conrrast co Obamis idealism, Hil.l.ary Clillrnn's pbn i,s somewhar less confidet1ce-in­
spiring. h focuses primarily on the reducrion of lJ.S. dependence on foreign oil. She has a
slightly sketchy environmental voting record; in 1hc pasr she has vorcd against bio,fud tax
incentives and the m:tl1daring of higher levels of ethanol ose. Climon proposes- to creare"
''str:negic e.ne.rgy fund11 using oil compa,,y pro fl rs to invest in I he devdopmenr of :1.hern:ui"e
energ_l' sources.
John Edwards offers a plan that cleverly combines all of the aforcmenrionc<I agendas; his
proposal calls for c,iprnn greenhouse g:is·cmissions, a global warming treaty with developing

Dc-ar All,

c,iuse I ftlt like my space was being en­
croached upon. Because ·1 didn't find rhe
rin-1e or space-m be passionate about my
inrercsts. Because I felt unfulfilled in my
education and campus life. I am very sad­
dened to see th.r 1he trend of disrespect for
space and re.sources char I observed across
the board continues. For a variety of rca ..
sons, l asked for the above mentioned ar­
ride riot ro Ix: published. I was misquoted
mu1riple times, and my opinions mis.coo•
strued. This requesc was made days before

p0intmeats wich the ~pace but felt befort­
h.and tha1 the •riidc published was nor a fair or adequare discussion of some very SC•
riow efforts by some seciousl'y involved
people. It was flippant aud did not address
1his issue with the needed co1npassi0J\ aJ\d
undersranding. I offered my time t0 dis­
cuss che arcide furcber with che author bc-­
fort the article was publish,.,\. I m:eivcd no

been dropped.. J was mosr unpleuantly
surprised co discover thac chis was uorrue. Ir
saddens me that my integcity and rigbr,; to
be properly represented IV<'tc so lightly dis­
resp<:e<ed. I do not have time to look over
$boulders ,o make sure my requcsrs have
been respcc1·ed. I am also infrequently on
campus aoymorc and only found ouc about
the publication of this article by chance. I
a,n open to diSCu$$iOn. but would like no
further published involvement with the rio­
neer Log. I would srrongly advise members

supports "dramatically increasing" research into c.Jimarc change technologies and aJcemat'ivc
energy sources.
Chrisrophe.r Dodd's environme.nral policy focuses heavily on rax incemives as a w:iy 10 ill­

my name. Fiokc is incredibly common• fur from chc rarities of Smith, Jon~, or Anderson.
But1 it seems ironic that a group dedicated co crea~g an opc.n forum Qn campus would cry
co rem3io anonymous via email.
While I've been assured chat chis w.1.$" a 5impJc miiunderst3nding, I have yec i:o stt thi$

Two tasers too many

On Sept. 17, • student of ,he Univcrsicy of Florida was

qucsrion period of a public forum. 'Ibis incidenr follows less
than a year after a UCLA srudent was casered following fail•

be considered due cau~.
Police brutality and excessive force. hasn'r been an issue
in the lives of most of today's liberal ans scudcncs. Our par ..
en,s foughr that fight for us. This is not ,o say that the issue
has been emdica1ed. in fucr quire rhe opposite. It has simply
moved our of the immediate aucnrion of middle 10 upper

k-gc educated. Even if we arc aware of some abuses of amhor­
lry that occur, we neyer CXJJCC[ th,.:m to happen as close to

People arc ourraged about rhc University of Florid, !'I$·

.anything about it. \Y/c have been given all the tools to be an
:1cd\1e, responsive group, and yet for some r<:ason the mo,•e­
ment hasn1t quif'e c.tughr on. ~n,ts could be because we're self­
i.sb, as m3ny have suggested, bur I think ir:~ more like.ly rh:.u
our gc11cradon can be cat<..-gorizc:d in two groups: chose who
-arc furnHstically pessimistic to the point where they don't be­

eve.,~hing will Ix, ok. Compare, as
so m::ioy have, the Yietn~un W::ir and
the Iraq War. When U.S. rroops had
been in Vicmam for about the same
amount of lime as troops have b<..-cn
in Iraq, 111ere was a protcSt at Kent

sponse to this, srudcms at Jackson

l'hus far, our gener:nion h:is not presented any organized

and chis summer we 6nally acted on what
we have been feeling since we reached

h•d when we both wcnr back ro school.
I still reaUy like him, and I'm prcrry sure
that he still has feelings for me bcc:tuSc
we calk on the phone nearly every day.
The last rime he call«! he rold me he h•d
gone on a date with a sorority girl. Some­
thing about his friend being nervous co
go alone. l knew this w,s going to hap­
pen ev<:nrually but I never expecrcd ch:'H
it would b<, so hard to rake! I fod so stu­

Dear Summer Love,
I chink chat jusr abour evecyone h:ls
uperieJ)ced something similar ro what
you. are going through. 1t is inevirablc
that you will both dare 01her people dtis
year. 1\1y advice is ro have an open rel:.­
cionship with Brian and talk about the
differenr people you date. Keeping rhis
imporranr patt of your Lifo a secret can
crcare a Joe of 1ensi9n. If you decide to
datc him again nexr sumrnet there won't
b<, ony emotional baggage between you.
so i1 c:.1n be josr as sizzling as lase summer.
Don', limir yourselF by wrucing for Brian
and I'm sure thar you could find a spt.:ial
someone here at LC. Good luck!

"[Dimicr 49] is a place rhar I care about, and it hasn't

Keeping it Clean
Oregon Mouse District.49 has been repccsemed since
1998 by Rep. ·Karen Minnis, a Republic.1n. Representative
M;nnis served as the House majority leader from 2001-
03. During rhis time. she gained a reputation of burying
legislation wirh which she-Wdn't agree. For e,cample. in
the 2000 legislative sessiou, she kepc ch•il onions lcgisla.­
rion from reaching the Aoor for deba1e. "She buried a lor
of biUs thoi: would've passed and made Oregon a better
place," said Kahl. "She's bad news."
Minnis decided at the cbd of the 2007 legisla1ive ses­
sion that she ,Vould not be wnoing for .re-elecrion, and
Kahl said duu this was a deciding factor in his decision
co run. Last eJecrion. the~ wa.~ a negative campaign be­
tween Mi,rnis and her Democratic challeagert Rob Brad­
ing. This ncgafivc c:ocrgy has affected d\e vorers in the
disrricr, says Kahl. "People are turned off 10 the political
process for a reason, and I'd like to be pan of the r~on that chcy'rc rurncd onto i1 again.'' He hopes, howt"YM
that his campaign ran be :'ib<,vc 1he negativity. ''''Jher
al'e huge issues fodr\g rhe dtslricr. If we split along pa

Kahl also emphasized we importance of the 49th
disrricc in ov('rall Oregon Politics. lhe se-a1 is cur..­
rcnrly occupied by a Republican, and d,e Oregon
legislature is splil nearly in half cHrough we par-
ties. "I chink it'.s ready to rrend blue," said Kahl,
bur also emphasized thai-. "this se:.n is imporr.anc
co the whole State."'
Standing Up
The issue most imponanr co K:1.hl and his
disrricr in the upcoming years is ernploymenr

Cow1ry as a "'blue eollar<:xisrence."
.. \Y/e 1\eed jobs and indusrry any way we Gtn

If elected, Kahl claims char he will 6ghr for tbc

Kal,I also plans 10 deal with the issue of bcalch-

• Emily Blo<k Encore? More like planned-core!
Why are bands now expected to provide an encore regardless of the quality of their performance?
by Nik Walton II staff writer
The first show I ever wem ro was Eric
Clapton. I was only I 0, bur I already ap­
preciated what I was wimessing. \VJhen ,he
band left. I choughr that was it; I was ready
tO leave. TQ my surprise. ll()v.·e:ver, rhe crowd
kepJ going crazy, ,nd afrer a few minutes the
band came back and played anorher amai­
ing set.
So this ts the notion l grew up wirh: if you
show your appreciation-if you really clap
and yell-the band will come back to play
some more. This is dw idea we alJ know as
the dcfiniti01\ of an encore. At my 6rst con•
cert S31\S parents, we were again left wanting
more, so we clapped and screamed. And the
band came back
Bu, here's the thing rhar gets me-of all
the. concertS I've been ro si.J,e<: then. not one
has fi.ti1ed ro result in an encore performance.
I've be.en to some <lownrigh1 horrible shows,
even one whtre t.he a.-risr apologized for his
performance, a,1d they still gor encores. So
wha< happened,
Somewhere along the line, bands started
pl:mning for encores. Bands will ofrcn save
rhdr biggest song$ for the encore. rvc cvcu
seen encores wrirren imo scdists before. h
makc.-s sense, when you rhink about it-if it's
assumed the band's going ro play an encore,
theo that period bctweef1 the rwo sets just
serves as buildup.
Bur the problem is that an encore is 1lO
longer a w:iy for the fans to honor the band,
or for the band to pay tribute to its fans. Of
course, the band can say, •1 really love this cro,vd:' and the crowd can give applause and
screams, but aothing really gauges any sort
of appreciation.
So what instead, There is the possibility
of doing multiple encores, but many bands
play two or tbr<.-c encores, arid then the.re is
also rhe face that, since d,e bands now plan
encores, that the band will simply be done
whenever they planned ,o be. And, as we
all know, when the ligb,s and back-
ground mu.sic come on, it's all<t;
over.
11tc crurh is, if we were
10 say d,ac bands should play The best course of action, pe.rhaps, is ro
accept Lhe fact that encores don't mean what
they used to. lf you go into a concert thir1k­
ing you're orily gerring an encore if you re ..
ally dema.nd one, you may b<: disappointed.
But encores arc usually
one of ,he best parts of ., \ A /I
the .show, and have Y VI
become an aet of. , ~
their own. •
real, unplanned encores @

And, on cop of thar, ir's hard to ~

amazing." Pcrhap:i rheonly fair way to do en-
cores would be ro have the band keep play-
ing u1uil o,ost of the crowd gor bored, but
th:u could mrn into a disaster.
Some bands have embraced the encore,
and have done some creative smff w,tb it.
Onc.c Guster anoounced, "'Thjs is the lasr

Lecture geared toward Exploration and Discovery students pro­
vides a Biblical approach to global warming.
by Danny Garcia /I staff writer
Today's world is cxrrcmdy differenr than
anything Lhar has ever come before it. After
such advancements .such as computers. auto­
mobiles. airplanes. and nuclear wc.-aporuy, the
world that once L1$ed stone cools seems djs ..

Global \'if.1rming," given last Wed., Sept. 19,
tried to bridge d1e gap and show thar rhc pros­
cnr perhaps has more in common with the pasf.
than most wouJd assume.
Eban Goodsreint Professor of Econom ..
ks. who spoke ar th(' lcc:turc, used Genesis's
funous rale of Noah a.nd his ark to illustrate
a point about
prescm day

Though perhaps
sou1'lding fur­
ferched at first,
Goodstein made
an intcresrii1g
point about the
two and prescnt-­
cd an i.ntriguing
argument. The !ecru re. was part of a series geared
mainly roward first-years rakiilg Exploration
and Discovery classes. Because these students
had read mosc of Genesis in• class, they would
be most fumilfar' wit.h ir and would have some
further usage of the ccxt than just co read it.

According ro the scory, Noah's protection of
