Philosophers question authority, power at Extravaganza
by Rachel Schiff// staff writer
Last Thursday at the Philosophy Extravaganza, Lewis &
Clark professors from five depanmems and approxi,naiely
30 srudems grappled with the grisly question: "\'(Iha, is Au•
rhority?"
The event, organi,,ed by Philosophy Club members Tyler
Noonan ('07), Kore Ritchie ('07) and EIHo< \Vhite ('09}, be­
gan with a speech from Assistant Professor of Philosophy Re­
becca Copenhaver, who was asked ro speak just hours earlier
in place of Au-ridden Assisranr Professor of Philosophy Joel
Marrincz. Despite the shore norkc, Copenh:wer delivered
a tighc speech, drnwing on rhc works of eighreemh cenrury
philosopher Immanuel Kam.
Au,horiry, Copcnha\'cr argued, is granted co chose who
are enlighrc11cd1 defined by Kam as thoSt' who are free ro use
their unimpeded judgment because they do no, simply be•
lieve the claims of others.
Following Copenhavcr's speech, Professor of Physics Her·
schel Snodgrass took the audience 200 years past KaJH and
the Elllighrenmem to examine contemporary sources of aca­
demic aut.horlty. Despite the modern focus of his speech, Snodgrass began
chc sessi01\ with a quote from an age-old. unknown sou.rec:
.. God i1elp me in my search for cruth and protect me from
those who think they h~we it."' Prestigious institud~ns a1,d
publications maintain their authority through the skepdcism
and questioning embodied by the opening quote, paired.
wich an exclusive ptocess of sdcccion. 1'he exdusivicy, argued
Snodgrass .. keeps the junk ou,."
Nsisrnnr Professor of Political Science Cecilia Chess:-t
spoke next on a vcry diff'ere,n form of amhority-thar which
she has over her young child. She dissected parental aurhority
using chc classific.1rio1u of ninccccnth ccn1ury poliricaJ econ­
omistand sociologist Max Weber. Chess.1 concluded cha,, as
a parent, she rules with traditional ("because lam your par­
e11t a1'\d I said so .. ). cha.rismacic ("char spc..-c.ial mommy au~.I").

After Chcssa, the extravaganza rook a break for dinner
and more discussion. "'lhc nice pare aboul che event js tbac it

lbe primary organizer or the evem.
Prc:semations resumed wii:h Religious Studies Depart•
mcm Chair Roben. Kugler, who discussed sources of amhor• it)' wi1 h reference co a passage from che Gospel of Paul, in
which Paul claiJns chat God 1hrusr his auchoricy upon him.
Paul's dajms of authority from a divine origin "rurned th~
discmsion to che intrinsic and cxuinsic cornponems of au•
chority," r«ailed R.irchie.
"'Kugler did a more imcraccivc prcsenr,uion, got tbc audi­
ence going. People had to be cur off, .. said Noonan.
Kugler', lively session w:i,; followed by an engaging dis­
cussion of chc difference berwcen aurhority and power, led
by Associate P"rofcssor of Authropology Deborah Heath. 11,e

the examination of the dich◊t(m'\y of auchoricy and power

Wounded veterans
deserve aid
by Matt Savage// senior staff writer
"Sgt. John Daniel Shannon told of
being released from Walter Reed less
lhan a week after he was shot in the
head, causing traumalic brain injury
and lhe loss of an eye. He said hospilal
staffers gave him a map of the sprawl­
ing complex and !old him to find lhe
building where he was assigned to live
while receiving outpatient treatment. 'I
was extremely disoriented and wan­
dered around while looking for some­
one to direct me' lo the residence, Ser­
geant Shannon said."

the conditions at Walter Reed (as prinl­

I was walking downtown the other day­
and passed by a homckss person begging for

noticed he \-.•as wearing a US Marines base­
ball cap. Like I our of 3 homeless Americans,
he was a veteran. I boughc hi,n l 5lice of
pin .. 1.. and he told me abom his c."pcrienc.cs
serving in Vicmam. Before I left to get on
the R.:iz, he said, "Semper Fidel is."
While America ofrcn seems overly cager
co engage in wars, it is hesitant to help d1c
soldiers <>teer ,hey return. While 250,000
veterans are chronically homeless, only 6,000
rccdve housing from the Veterans Adminis-
1r:11ion. Another 150,000will be homeless at
some point during the average year. Nearly

,vho have applied for 6nanciaJ as.~i$t.ance
through a governmenr program calkd "The

Twenty-three reasons not to see ''The Number 23''
by Danny Garcia II staff writer
The new movie "The Number 23," starring Jim Carrey, came out last weekend. This suspenseful thriller is more of an attempt for Carrey
to stretch from his usual comedic roles to something different. Unfortunately, that attempt was half-assed and failed miserably. It is dif­
ficult to explain what exactly went wrong with this motion picture, but here is a list·(of 23 reasons) trying to do just that.
I. Jim Carrcy is a good comedic accor. Mowev1:.·r. i1 i.s
fur coo difficuh tO tak<" hJm seriously iJ1 a ch.riJler role without
laugning.
2. 1he begii)ning of rhe movie has a couple one,..lincrs
10 make the audience chuckle, Laughing is nor a good <tarter
foJ a suspense thriller.
3. The plot twist is nothing like Sixth Seme or Fig/,,
Club. By the rime rhc movie-decides tO R·veal the tvr.i.s:t, it i!
too obvious -and too shallow for .$Criou.s mo,•ie warehers ro
enjoy.
4. Correy's wife. played by Virginia Maclwn, was one
of the few wbo did oot fall P"-1' to the munbcr's grasp. Com­
pared 10 her .. everyone dsc seems rather siUyand .stupid.
5. Gr.irny skin> gr1...-a:.)' hair and creepy rauoos on Jim
Carrey are almosr more ridiculou$ th:i1'1 :.\ grec,, mask.
6. ·rhis movie was ultim:uely oor st1spenseful. ·rherc
were no hcan--pun1ping Qr edge .. Qf-rhc-scar moments. Vner
failure in I.he thriller genre.
7. A prrsoo suffering from an obsession over a num-
b« docs not make fot a good psycho villain. Add in conni­
balisrn or 1n:'.1Ss murder :rnd it n1lgh1 ha"e had son)eching.
8. Only one person dies throughout the present day
cirne of fl~c movie. Bring on the body count psycho thriller makers!
9. 'The thing that guides Carrey's ch<1racter on the path
of discovering the rruth about everythingjsa Jrqopy•skinned
dog. Half of rhc rlo1c d1c dog was on me screen 1.he audience
laughed, ruining rhe p0tenLiaJ mood of the scene.
10. S<.'.Vcra) limes Carr<.,-y srartS rancing off different
dat<:-s an<l n-ames that C.Ul be made into the number 23.
Though clever, ,hey become n1ore and more far-fetched and
annoyingly absurd.
11. ·1 he end of the movie is plagued by a dragged-out
explanafion of the plot rwlsc,
12. ln a movie, parnnoin netds co be more than just
being scare-.:!. There actually needs co be:; knife ,vielding m•­
niac ours;de. U11fum1n3cely. rhe number 23 rnr11s out robe
jtL\t a number. \'<'hat a shocker.
13. ·n,e claim tnat if a SCI of numbers could be made
lnto 5 or 32 could still be considered 23 is just srupid. Some­
how it mak<.-s sen.se in rhe movie.
14. C:irrey's son, i;layed by Logan Lerm.an, is named
Robin Sparro,v. Bird boy needs a new name.
15. 'Tiie dog was given rhe name Ned because he
was found in a cemcccry watching gravestones. Apparently
"Nt-d" is short for Edward, whiclimcans guard. T.,lk about a strerch.
16. Carrey's character is a dog caccher, bur Lhc only
rime he see.~ a dog throughour rhe. C'ntirt movie it gets· away.
Total loser.
17. Mkhael Jordan is never referenced i..u the movie.
18. .At the end. the movie ju~'t lies down and diQ. lbe
killer goes ro jail and rhe victims go horne ro their mundane
lives. Worthlc.<S even in ,he end.
19. £ven though the end is lack-luse<r, it docs have
some mcric. 111c moraJ is 10 do 1hc righl thing. which is im~
pomuu. Sadly. by the cod 6f a terrible movi,·. no one ca.r<.-s
::ibour the morjl.
20. Ar <me. poinr, a characre.r tries ro explain how the
word 'pink• equals 23. First of all, it's a word. Does thcr<'
need ro be a second of all/
21. Jim Carrcy is scared of a number. This canoo, Ix:
Stressed. enough-it's -:i freaking 11\unbcr.
22. Carrey spe~ids mosc or rhe movie reading a book.
Go ,9 ~ library . .same rhiog happens there everyday.
23. ·'Tho Depancd" jusc came out on DVD. No ccason
