scheduling, hours in Spring semester
At ,he outser of rhis semcs1.er.
~ ise Maxwell ('09) had 110 idea
char her job ar Maggie's, where she
bad worked for ovC'c a year, was in
peril. But when she couldn'r find
our when she was scheduled 10
work for die first we,,k of the se­
mester, .she knew that something
was amiss. We,,ks lacer, Maxwell
had SliU not been scheduled co
work.
''Your employer has an obliga ..
lion co let you know if you're nm
going to work th(•cc-anymore," she
said. "Any normal job, you would
be ,old th,11."
Eventually, Maxwell ll"ve up
and found another job with rhc Bi­
olog)f Dcparm1cnr.
'Tm a .student, so wid1 tl1is
whole rhing on rny l'nind, it's re­
ally srressful, and it's tiring, so after
a while, ic's like, fuck ii, noching's

Bill Masullo for their activism over
issues they had with a coworker last

According to Maxwell, former
Maggie's employee Maggie Mc­
Combs ('09), and anochcr employ•
cc who wisht-d to remain ;mony­
mous to protect his job, the current
conAict with Bon Apperir began
when a new employee was hired

s,ory of being kicked "oil' shift,"
being forced co wash blenders over
and over, and. in ,he case of Max­
well and McCornbs, being treated
prejudicially for cheir gender.
"Me and my other fellow female
co-workers felt really uncomfort•
able," said McCombs.
The employees repcacedly com­
plained abour rheir new co-worker

overseer of Maggie's. They say char

s:aid the anooymous employee.

They were rcplac('d, chc-y assert, by
mostly focmaUy employed people
from 9urside of che Lewis & Clark

\'{!hen inrerviewcd, Masullo ac•
knowledgcd iliac some employees
had not been sd,eduled co work

insisted rhac chis was a business
decision, based on che fact that
d1e number of people living on
campus drops slightly eoch ycor
between F:,11 and Spring semesrer.

said the ;rnonymous employee. '"A

Masullo did not respond m
rcpcaml re-quests by e-mail for a
response ro the employees' allega­
tions.
Maxwell, McCombs, and rhe
anonymous employee concurred
that rhe College nc-.:ds ro be more
protective of its srudentS who work
for co1H-rs1et.ed compaoics on cam,.
pus. During rhe ordeal wirh ,heir
ooworkcr, McCombs .sent om a
pica for support via a F:lccbook
note. Although !he no1e even,u­
ally fell into rhe hands of Oean of
Srudems Houscon Dougherty, stu-­
dcms say that neither he nor any­
body else associated with the Col­
lege effectively intervened in die
sicuacioo.
"Basically, what ic boils down to
is-that the Bon doesn't contract a
lot of its studencs·. and so it can do
whatcvec it want$ co us1 ~Lnd l-C\'/iS
& Cl:trk doesn't rcgulare rhar at all
... does11'c regulate how students get
created at Bon Appctit." Maxwell said. "Considering rhac Bon Ap­
pctir is one of the bigg.:,;t employ­
ers of srudems, 11,at's horrible. 1 he
school should really have some sore
of mechanism for rl-gulaling how
Bon AppCtic treats student work­
ers, and we doo't h:i.vc thar. 11\etc's
nothing Ii.kc diar in place. And
so people like Bill who are skeczy
busines.'i capiraJists can just treat
us like char and cbe scliool doesn'r
tl.-gulatc it.''
During the conAict, said Mc­
Combs, "i, seemed like ,be College
and chc Bon were just cwo separate
cotirics, an.d even though w¢'rc stu­
dents working for a company that
is contracted by the school, it didn',
feel like rhe ""0 were cormecced al

ics students' rights, as huma1l be­
iugs, and they didn't really do any­
thing.>t
"lc's frustrating how licde people
know about this situation," said the
anonymous employee. From the lack
of conlleerions berwee.n the College
and Bon Appetir, he said, "w,e can
gee disrcspccccd a lo, more, because
we don't have anybody else 6n our

Oregon considers banning Salvia
by Rachel Schiff II senior staff writer
A potent, legal hallucinogen
sounds roo good to be true. How­
ever. Salvia divinorum is just th;ic,
for now, Sratc Represenrarive John
Lim (R-Grcsham) has proposed
o bill thar would make Salvia a
Schedule I co1urolle<l subsrance in
Oregon.
If House Bill 2494 is passed,
Salvia will join marijuana and
heroi,1 as a Schedule I conrrollcd
subsr:tnee. Schedule 1 subsronccs,
which face che srricrcst reqoire­
menrs of all five schedules. are la­
lxl¢d as having a high risk of abuse
and belting in safety and accepted
medial uses.
Lim claims 1.har "Salvia is :1
thrcar because ics effect is in rhe
same category of LSD and halluci­
nogenic mushrooms. 1liis impajrs
judgrnein .tild has·;., pocential risk
for rhose driving.~
SaJvia divinorum, also known
as Diviacr•s Sage, Magic Mine. ska
Maria Pastora and Sally D, is Latin
for "'sage of rhe seers." The plant i,s
native to Oaxaca, Mexico where it
is used as an cmheogen by the in•
digenous Mazatcc sbamans in reli•
giotts ceremonies for healing dur­
ing spi ric journeys.
However, SaJvia is becoming
increasingly popuJar as a rccre­
:nion:11 dn1g north of rhc border.
"Accessibility has incrt-ascd, and
we wam co fix this drug loophole
rigbr away, .. said Liin.
Recently, borh Addie Jones
('I 0) ond Ashley AUcn ('09)
smoked dried Salvio leaves from
a pipe. inhaling rhe smoke deeply
and holding ir in their lungs. 1'1lis
is the mosr conunon way to use
s~lvia .u,d product"S cbc shorccsc,
but mosr inrcnse effecrs.
Afler smoking s·alvia, Jones said, ..,The corner of che wall in
front of m<." seemed to jut out and
hir me ~nd split me in half."
As Jones tripped, she laughed
uncomrollably :aod wa,s un3b!e to
communicare with orhers. 1l•is
foding lasted only five minute.,.
The duration ofa typical Salvia
rrip draws l'nany that are h<."Sj<anc

Allen experienced temporary

Allen fell no af,ereffcets of Sal­

, \'Vhilc many students cxpai.-.

Salvia, others did no, t,ip a, all.
Lauren -rcnney ('09) remembered.
"l felt heavy, hazy, bur nothing
more."
Corey Smirh ('09) has smoked
Salvia several rimes :rnd s:.1ys that
most times he simply felr •really,

Smith recalled that once "ir made

"First of all, I can', believe ir's

Apocalypse lecture calls for prompt environmental action
by Carolyn Bratnober II guest writer
Dr. Barbara Rossing wanes to say. 'No.
u1is is not the end of ,he world,' although it
is getting harder and harder for her to believe
,har. Las, Tuesday, March 13, the P:implin
Soci<'ty hos,ed Rossing as a Distinguished
Visiting Scholar.
She spoke in chc Council Chambers co a
large crowd of faculry, Stude111s and members
of rhe communiry on the subjec:c of apoca­
lyp1ic 1houghc and modern inrerprer::.ttions of
,he Book of Rcvelarion. Her leerurc 'Ecol­
ogy & the Apocalypse: ls 71,is tbc End of rhc
World?" discussed how people believe ch is ,o
be rhe end of days as global warrning ~•kes
roor in rhe popul:1r im:1gin:uion.
The apocalypse is ''a prcuy hoc ropic,•·. she
said, and .she would know, Barbara Rossing
is a professor of rhe New Tcstamcnr at cb.c
.Lurhecan School of Theology at Chicago, an
ordained Lu1her~rn MiJlisrer and a writ~r: In
her most recent book~ 11u Rapture .Exposed:
71,, Message of Nop, i11 the Book of 1/er,e/ation,
she condemns modern f'uudamcnr-aJisc read~
ings of che Book of Revelation a. fraudulent
views of che Bible.
On "60 Minutes" and "World News To• night," Rossing attacked ,hose who use Rcv­
ehu ion m glorify violence and "'Rr. She has
also spoken abou( the envirol\ment on rhe
National Geographic Channel.
As an aurbority on thc subjccr. Rossing
S3id that journalists often ask her whcchcr
1his or that natural disaster is :ictuaUy God•s
punishmenr for humankind. Ar che lec(ul'e
she rcc.alled how sorneone once :asked her
if Hurricane Katrina was pan of rhe apoca•
lypsc.
In the Council Chambers she offered •
possible :rnswer co chis ques1·ion: if "apoca­
lrp.s.e"' means "to reveal" something-which
it doc:s-chcn yes. Natural disasrers, as side
cffccrs of unchecked global pollution. she
said, can reveal ro us what the fumrc holds if
we don)t shape up.
Rossing's main message ro listeners was
chat che Book of Revelation, a11d apocalypLic
literature in general. can inspire us to make
radical changes co our world. Apocalyptic lic­
erall!re is nor about· punishmeor and inevi­

Police tactics out of line at Tacoma peace rally
by Liz Holliday// staff writer T he violent outcome of the protest in Tacoma is reminisent of the anti-Vietnam War protests in
the 1960s. It seemed co be yet another example of how the local police used force in hopes of
controlling protesters. Unlike ocher famous protests, like that of Kent State, nobody in Tacoma was
seriously hurt during the process. However, the situation escalated very quickly and the Tacoma police
used qtu:sflonablc tactics in order ro restore 'order' (O the

Resident Assistants do more than just write you up

One of the most misundcrsrood jobs at

poi1lt, ma,,y don't know wh:at being !11\ RA
rc:i.lly entails. ~I he mosr co1nmol'1 misconccpw
tion is that rhey arc here co wrire people up.
Bur believe ic or nor, RAs arc acruallyaround
for :, lot more~ in fuct. write-ups arc only a
mil'ior pan of the job.
Shane Rivera ('09) is a,l RA iJ\ Stew::irr
and has never written anyone up, even in
Oddi and Akin, rhc other (non-wellness)
dorms chat he looks over ,.,.,hen he's on duty.
, .. 1 don1r know if char would be a neg;uive
pan [of the jobl if 1he siruarion came up,'' he
said. "I would hope 1har I had a relarionship
with thar person so rhcy would just know it's
part of my job."
Srcffen Bernard {'08), a Copeland RA,
agrees I h:u: \\'rite-ups arei1't the worse part of
rhe job1 "lits rhe stigma that come.~ wirh pol­
icy enforcemenr." he said. "A lot of people
don't sec a purpose in the rules, and fed we
.should just ignore chem, bm they just have
to unden,t:rnd that ic's a .stres:lul situation for
everyone invol\'ed. This is I\Ot how I want ro
be spending my Sarurday nighr."
Although RAs arc not placed in dorms
to police' rhc rt-sidcrus, many people do not
know why chey are here. Building comn·,u­
niry is a crucial parrofrhe fv\'s job. lv\s help
first year rcsidchls become acquainted with
the: school, the campus and their neighbors.
Having an upperclassman around makes the
adjusunent process: a lot smoother.
Counsdiog is a.no1her important pMr of
the job. If a srudenr ever has any sorr of prob­
lem, chey can go co their RA ro talk ic out.

and I like helping our orher srudenrs."
"l chink it provides an amazing opporru•

llecoming an RA isn't exactly a cakewalk.
TI)ere is an i1ue1lSC applica.1ion process rhar

Womyn's. Center:
bash stereotypes, not men
by Kelly Sullivan// staff writer
''\V/e•re nor man haters. I'm not a crazy man•cat•
ing dyke." laughed Calli Bishop ('09) when con­
fronted wi[b the fa.Jlacy surroundfog Lewis & Clark•s
Womyn,s Center.
"People assume it is a woman-only space, char
men arc excluded and unwelcome wh<:n that is not
at all the case," agreed Ann JcnS<.i ('07). ''Men who
show up to the me<:Lings are always welcome :111d
ofom express·appreciation for the cenrer. \V/e do not
ger roge,her to bash men."
.. \Y/c ralk about opprcssion1 patriarchy. sexism,"
Jensen continued. "but with the idc::1 that 3.11 are
complex syStems thar are fucili~11ed by sociery as a
whole and rhe whole of sociery is responsible for fix­
ing things, nor just one sex."
Jensen has bccJ~ volunteering for rbc center for
thn ... "C years, and Bishop is also a very active mem­
ber. She describes herself as a feminist, which also is
commonly misu,,dersrood.
"Ir means eqL1a1ity of the sexes.II) she explained,
.Many pc..-ople bdicvc rhat fcmiaisrs see femaJes as be­
ing superior co men, bur rcaUy ,hc.1' jus1 wa.nt to be
on the same level. "'\Y/e re<0gniie thar there's :l sys­
rem in place thar benefits men-rhey're not at fault,
they~re just a product of their society," she said.
1he \Vomyn's Ccmcr was founded in ,he mid
1990s. • it is a support center for studenrs or all gen­
ders and sexual orienrarions with questions abour
sexuaHty1 :safety, social pressures, expecrncions and
resources/' Jensen cxpJajned. "Ir is a student-nin
center consisting of voluutccrs who wisb to raise
awareness abour gender issues bolh o,, and off cam­
pus.""
The main goal of rhe W'omyn's Center is l'O pro ..
vide resources and information. People come for ad­
via in aU areas, and rhc center is currently looking
rnward a more community-focused f'uture.
"J 'in re.illy, rcal(y passion3re about making il a safe space for women to talk aboln s.exual disorders,
a.ss::mlt, et cetera/' s::tid Bishop.
The school reports one account of sexual ass:auJc
a year, whkh is very undcrrc_poncd. noccs Bishop.
"Sexua.1 assault isn~t published, io people rhink it
doesn't hoppcn.• •
Take Back the Night is a campaign that deals
with c.hat very issue. Jensen, who is leading the:
cvcnr, described ic as a way co raise awareness of
rape and assault or any form on :rnd off college cam­
puses.
"'-11,e event seeks rhrough multiple :icrivirid co
rally st,udenrs cogethcr co form a communiry of
people who arc committed ro creating a safe envi­
ronment in ,,,hich studcrus a.re free tO walk a.lone a1
night withou1 the fear of rape," she s~id. The cam­
paigo is comprised of many acriviries, bur the main
one is a student march around campus. During the
march, srudcnts Sf0p at various locations and make
a sbon spc.-ech, then place a stake in rhe gr◊uf1d to
claim the sp.ace 3S" safe ploce.
wn,e eve,u ha$ received some hare in _past years,"
.said Jensen. "Four years ago a group of men threw
water balloons at the marchers. The )'car afier chat

One r.hing char I wane ro do is provide more opporrunicics
for freshman co learn abour campus rcsoucccs-. so one id<.-a is
to create a kind of program where once! a month freshman
come to an event and h:1ng out :md get 10 know one anotl1er.
It would be hosred by a different srudenr group each month,
so srudenrs realize what is our chere, who rhcy need co talk to

\\1/hy do you. want to be ASLC Pmidmt and how do your
past o.-ptrienuJ »utiu: you wtll fuit~d for 1hr job?
I have lots of experience in school leadership and what
interests me is bringing in a new rype of experie1lce. one
that l have duough civic engagement in different aspecrs
outside of school co,nmunicy. One thing I think witl be
good is bringing experience of char position to working
,viUl the adminisrrarion. lhere i.s an opportunity co speak
and deal curcccly with the governing board of the coUege
and I really think rhc president should rake more advan­
roge 9f the position rather than just maintaining the srarus
quo.
\~hat "" ;·our major hopes or conunu flbout ongoing
Umpkron work? If elected what would yo11 do to emun thni
they art r,aliud>
FirSt and foremost it is important for {ransparcncy.
Right now I feel d,ar ASLC is rhc group that is i□volved,
but 1 chink lhar jc is also imporrant ro bring irl students
who may not know about ASLC and really push ro bring
all srudenl:$ in. from there it is an open working djscussion with the admin­
istration on whar
needs co happen.
How u1~uld you
work ta in~ttse in•
uracrio11 btttuttn
m«km groups?
One thing I
rea.tt y respect . is
rhar all 1he sru­
dcnr groups have
cbc.ir own auton­
omy and they re­
ally have freedom
r-0 do different
chings. One rhing
that would be im•
portant is general
meetings with the
presidenr of all the
Brandon Wiebe student groups. I know there is a serious lack of communica­
tion on some nigh rs and 1h.ere are overlapping events, groups
arc welcome to do wharever rhey w.l:l'H bur if we arc look.iug
for maximum parriciparion in the communiry, inceraction
berween the groups is going to be necessary.
Why do ;•011 wa11r 10 b, ASl.C P,,,idmt n11d how do your
past rxprrimres makr ;•ou tlll'II miud far ,/,;job?
\'(forking with the c.xccutivc council rhis pasr semester, l
feel like I have coUecml a wide placfocm of ideas on what we
need 10 dcve.lop in 1he future and where we arc headed. Boch
of us have had a lot of experience in studem government and
knowing the processes of student go\1ernmenc -:tnd how they
work well and also how they have nor worked welt opens up
1he opporrunicy ro come in with and idea of where it should
go. Bobby (ASLC President Bobby McHugh] has done an
amazing job, bur rhere are some rhings wbere there needs
to be some clear improvement, One is tr:utspar<:ncy and {he
other is co1nmunicarion. From discussions l have had with
s:rudenr groups and administrators we bave developed a plat•
foml rhat is widely representative and has the opporruniry
10 progress the work ASLC has done rhis ye.v furtbcr acxt
year. U'IJHU ~t your major hopes or touurns ,1bqut ongoing 'um­

1'he firsr big srep rh,i is happ<:ning chis summer is ,he rrail­
room renovations and currently ASLC is developing a board
in conjunction with Houston ( Dc:'l11 of Srodems Houston
Dougherty] to oversee Templeton. 1'hc next step is rhai we
do no1 have very much capitaJ resources right now and every•
time a plan has been written up for overhauling Templecon it_
has been shur down because we do11'r have che necessary re-­
source to complC'cC' ir .. \Xie can see _char iris an issue that ASLC
is not going ro be able co solve without che help from the
College as a. whole, bu1 we can undcrrakc many small capir.at
projeccs, chings like lighring, paincing, bulleting boards, pur•
ring in compurer hubs and cv1s. ~rnese are nor terribly expen­
sive things chac can make this a place where srnde1HS wane

which will go ro every srudent group leader and witl have

Hungry for the real deal? Dine Provence! THE
by Kelly Sullivan// staff writer
When looking co gee off campus for brunch,
look no further than La Provence Bakery and Bistro
located on 15964 SW Boone.< Ferry Road in L1kc
Oswego. La Provence is a quajnt li1 de ·French Bak­
ery/re.iraurnnr thar is perfect for a mid-day meal.
During the week, d,ey are open for breakfast,
lunch and dinner, bur the weekeod brunch menu is
excCptiooal. 111e ~nmosphcrc is one pare diner1 ~ne
parr cafe, and one p:trt bakery. On Sunday after­
noon (prime rime fora brunch dare). rl1e restaurant
was crowded and buscling, but due to the quick ta•
blc turnover. we couJd be se:ned immediately.
The decor w:1s ulrra cozy-lirigbc floral table
cloths adorned every r,ble, French themed land­
scape p,,intings hung on .sun-colored \\~11s.
The menu offered breakfast and luncl, fare with
sophisripred rwists. Forex.1mple, hash browns and
omelcncs fc.1tured smok<.'d salmon, and ins-read of
fries, aU sandwiches came wirJl fresh fruit. On rop
of that, aU of sandwiches arc made wirh homemade
French bread. Th<-' main <:ncrea: were :l bit e.xpen-­
,ivc ($9.25 for an omclc11e, S8.25 for a sandwich),
but weH word~ it. 'The Omelet lC CoUcrre was <:x-rresnely rich and s.1tisfying: a combination of :1ni­
chok<: hearts, fresh dpe romacoes, and Swiss cheese

lhc only problem wirl1 half the set being

L 1964 -The Tribute goes
back to Beatles' glory days
by Danny Garcia// staff writer
Last weekend rhe Arlene Schnitzer Concert H. all.be­
came a rime machine. Everyone in rhe auditorium
traveled son1e 40 years into the past. These rime
travelers witnessed s01nerhing [hat hasn't happened since a
rather unfortunate break up so n1any years ago-a Beatles
concert. Yes-last weekend, the Beatles played the Schnitz,
and it was unbelievable.
Or course, time travel has nor been pcr­
fi:ctl-d, so all of chis w:ts-just make bdicvc.

be appredaied by those who never had ,he

Gary Grimes, M.ark Benson, Tom Work

Beatie impersonators for over t\vemy years.
11,ey have reincarnated 1he Be.nice$. pl•y­
irlg Beatie songs, playing Beatie insrrume.,us,
and sponing Jk.tle haircurs. From afar, the
group looks and s9111,ds like the legends ,hey
impersonate. Of course, rhe txpc::rience is no
where near as amazing as a reaJ Be:1rle show.

that can appreci:lte the :uchitccnm: and age

h i$ understandable that Work caonoc pl3y

On rhc other hand, during ::1. few breaks

Tue lopsided scores fail ro rdl rhe whole story of men's
lacrosse. 'The Lewis & Clark men's lacros,sc t<:a.m
(Piolax) is 0·6 dtis season and b:.1s not won a con­
ference game since 2005. ~01is s~son, the rc:,m h:tS

passionate players who are looking ro build a re­
spectable program ar Lewis & Clark.
Lacrosse is. a club sport ac LC, y<.·t che tc.-un participates in the v;irsiry
caliber Pacific Northwtsr Collegi:1re Locrosse League (l'NCLL). LC won rhe
league in 2003 wirh a 7-1 record. llur since rhen, rhe le-ague has rapidly im•
proved. In 2005, the league was realigned so that reams tbat did not bav<.· Division
I football program were all moved into cht· same division. This lef'r LC in the same
division 3S reams such as the University of Montana ~tnd \'(l~te-rn Oregon, who have
huge budgets and even larger studetu t:xxlies. "Our rcarn coosisrs of many players
in their first or second ye:u phyii1g and we end up playing r<.--ams from schools with
20,000 srudenrs ro draw from," said Midfielder Pc«r Klym ('09). Monrana is rhe
numbc.~r .. chrcc ream in the country, and tht league contains five orher teams in the
top 40 in cl1e nation.
·nle main cause o( the Piolax troubles lies in their ros-rer $i1.e: "'I here are many
ta!tmed lacrosse pt,yers at 1.C bur we don)t get a ,•cry good rnrnour:• said Klym. 'The
small LC srudenr body results in a small mster, which rcsuhs in fcv.• wins. ··1ts easy
ro gee players ro come ro home games," said midfielder Andrew Conner ('07), who
is in his first year playing lacrosse. "But when we go on the ro;1d people are more
hc.·sitam to come. We had seven people on our bench during our home game last
week bm only rwo on rhe road ... [n conrra.~t, mher programs have around 15 people
on ,heil' bench.
In addirion, the l'iolax budgcr is barely enough for them ro gee by. "The funding
we receive from the LC Charter and Budgcring Board d0<:Sn'1 even pay rhe league
fc,-s," said goalkeeper and captain R:ifuel Cuevas ('08). ···1 he PNCLL also follows

With all of rhese budget problems aod program imbalances in the PNCLL one
would chink char the team could simply rnove inro aoorher league. one with schools
with the same srudcnr body size ~ind ,~1lellt. Only problem is that rherc is no Olher
dub league in rhc Pc'lcific Notth\'Jesr.
Club spons arc volumary; so all the ream members arc playing lacrosse because
chey wanr ro. "\V/e aU have an affinfry for lacrosse and want to work h:trd co cre~ue
