From l1is fa1her. Appiah lcawe<I about
rhc views put forward by d:,ssical chink• ers like Marcus Aurelius, Cicero. and D.io•
genes, ''those sroic philosophical ideals thot
-are onl' t.xpressio1, of tbe ope11n~s rhal I
learned from my fum ily," he said.
Appiah identified Diogenes as rhe phi­
losopher who coined the phrose "person
of rhc world," which is du: cornerstone of
Appiah's philosophy. Accord;ng to Appiah.
Diogenes' c-arly cosmopolitanism held dm
"we don\ 11eed one world government. we
should care abom r~e fa1e of all our fel­
low citiiens. and we cao borrow good ideas
from all over I he world."

live in Diogenes's world; we've come to a
point where e::ich of us can imagine con.

Although Appiah c.sp6used the sdf-

standards are objectively wrong," he also

Robert Eisinger. Chair of the Polid­

Emily McCanan ('07) Criticism of Clinton,
Obama unfounded
by Craig Gilden// editor-in-chief
(,..1st week -an article written by Adam Sanchez ran in
Forum e.m.irled "True Liberals? Clinton, Obama and du· entire
Democratic Parry don'r deserve public supporc'' 'T11e article
essentially challenges the leftist movC'menr co srand cogecher
and fighr for chaoge because even the Democratic nominees
for Prcsidcnr are coo conservarive, dcraiBng wl1y Clinton and
Obama do no, deserve the support of liberals. My question
afrer reading the ar,ide is: what leftist movcmcnr?
Ar Lewis & Clark, a campus where che average. viewpoint
is far more liberal than mosr of America, poli1ica) acrion is few
and fur berween. Eid>er srudents who hold the same beliefs
as Sanch<."z do not have politica,I acrion higl1 on their list of
i>riorities or rhcrc just art:n't very many lcfiisrs. Ukely, Sanchez
is vasrly overestim:ui11g how many students hold viC'wpoincs
rhis left of cemer. If ,his type of movemen, can't even get off
the ground a, LC, theo ir has no chance of spreading across the
enrire country.
The fact thar a woman and a black m.:,n are the leading
cancUdatcs for the Dcmocratk nomination shows progress
in itself The cricicism of Clinton and Obama is unfair and
unfounded. Sancl1ez cririciies Obama for basically working
with the current adminisrrarion on trying to find a solution ro
r.he w:lr in lrnq. Yes. he has eompromiscd ar times, bur what is
he supposed co do, propose radical bills that have no chance of
getting passed? 1\s a Senator, the only way co gei an)'thing done
is ro work with those around you.
Sanche1. writes that Clinron h;is "only recently bcoomc an
'anci-w-ar' cancUdarc." 1'vo paragraphs later he rhen criticize$ her
sra.nce on the war by saying ... tlw nonsense abour the \'(IMD1s
in Iraq and EFJ>'s supplied by Iran was. a,1d is, given ctedl'nce
by pro,-war Democrats like Clinron.it So which iS"she, pro-or
-arHi-war? J assume Sanchez is referring m chc fucr chat she has
rcc.encJy changed her views on the war. So she changed her
mind-aft<'r seeing new evidence, is that really a bad thing? Most
of us would be rhrillcd if Prcsidcm Bush changed his mind in
the same manner.
The greater point of rhe article is that Clinton ond Obama do
not represent the voice of ,he left. Unforruna1dy for Sanch<'L,

CON: A Zogby Interna~ional

Clinton a divider when America needs unity
"Well, the question really is, we face a lot of dangers in the world and, in the gentleman's words, we face a lot of
evil men, you know, people like Osama bin Laden comes to mind. And what, in my background, equips me to deal
with evil and bad men? -Hilary Clinton
by Matt Savage II senior staff writer
At fust glance, Halary CUuton looks like a drtam
c:;mdicl:ue for the Democratic Parry. She has a great rcsu me,
centrist app<.•al, :tnd an unpreccdc:ntccl ability ro raise
campaign con1riburions. Some have con(ti)ded c_hat criticism
of her rnerely amoums to sc~is1n, poinrfogout the populariry
Qf bcr husband. Bue t coumer ,hat while she ha; some of the
abilicics of her husband, she has even more flaws.
One of rhc biggest problems in our councry right now is
polarization, ~md it is a problem that Clinton has i1'I spades.
Aft¢r che trials and tribulations of 1\'1.onica.-gate, and eight
years of George Bush, m:.'11\y have said chac our coururyts
politics bave become roo polariu-d. particuiar-ly vihc.n our
country should be united in ,he 6ght againscTerrorism. And
when Clinron is cornpar<:d ro an independtllll'Senmor who
can work in a bipani.san fashion, the popular governor of
America's bluest stare. and the liber:tl "America's Mayor", her
polari'Ultion only b(..'COIT'IC$ more: apparent.
One could con rend I har chis is a double srandard, since
Mr. Clinton was also a po1ariiing figore. Bur it is importanr
ro noce ,har Mr. Clinton became a polarizing figure durii1g
the Lewinsky sc.1ndal, while she is one immediately out of
the sr:trting garc. 1hc Dcrnocr.nlc Parry needs a 'wli~c.uor'
now more rhan ever, not a 'divisor'. Compounding this problem is M.rs. Climon's utter lack of
charisma. Th is is the most glaring gap i11 :)biliry between Mr.
,and Mrs. Climon, and perh:;1ps 1he most important re-.u;on
not to ck-ct her. \Xlhile it is true char substance should ,rump
appcar.1nce, lhe pre$ident is nevertheless rhe cornmunicator­
in-chief. And while Mrs, CUnron cerrainly grasps ,be policy.
she comes off as cold, cakulacing, and impcr>Ortal.
Tue key problem ,hat H.illary shares with 13ill is the
perception char either of rhern will change their convictions
depending on the will of focus groups, This author would
argue ,h~c chis has been cx:igger:.ued. and that others merely
confuse tbe Clinton's ability 10 understand all sides of an
issue with holding positions rhar they do nor, and chen
these critics cry foul when the Clincon·s do not 'vote their
way'. Nevenhdcss, this is a perception hdd by rite public ,c
large, and one tha, will hurr Mrs, Clinton not only during
the primary and general deaions, bur also throughout •
pmenrial prcsidenC)', •
And i, should also be noted that it ,vould be futile for
criticism of Mrs. Clinton to -:11noun1 ro sexism, givc.m the
number of ocher 'firsts, in this campaign sea.son. Mrs.
Clinron's dosesc rival is, in Mr. Bidcn's ,.,,o{ds, the first 'clean.
ar1icul~1te black candidate for President'. Other poreutial
rivals indudc a L.1.tino on che Democratic.side ~md a Mormon
on chc Repoblian side. ~vcn if Mrs. C1imon docs not make it p:'.lsr Lhe primary. surdy one of the Presidential
or Vice Presidential candidates will be an und(!J'represenred
minority.
lf Mrs. Clinton doe. win the primary and gcncc,~
decrio11.S, she will lad I he ch:irisma of her husband why
sharing bi$ divisivencs.c: and Jack of integriry. Bur afrcr eight
years of Bush. anyc:hing would be :)n improvement.

Day in the life of a SMART tutor:
Making reading fun again, one kid at a time
by Sonia Mededovich // contributing writer
I used co hate kids. I ah\l',ys avoided baby•
siuing jobs in middle school b=usc kids
made me un.comforrab1e and <lid1'l't :icc-m
to like mt. So when r gor co college~ I rlevet
imagined that l'J be spencLing a good I"'" of
nl)' \'(fedncsda}' afrernoons with tlcmcnrary
srude1)ts. Yes, these were kids-, Mid I was 6-
nally fucing my fears.
Why did I do SMART if I d1dn', like
kids? J think it was be<:"aus<·, like many other
frt-shm('n, J came inro college wandng ro get
i1wolvcd and try new rhjogs. I w~mted to do
commui1lry service. and chis wa.,; :rn e:1sy two
hours a week (one hoor of commuci0g, and
one hour at the school itself). Ir was also the
perfect chance co face my fem. So, l signe/1
up for SMART and haven', looked back
since.
SMAJff {St:in Making a Reader Today)
is an Orrgon•b:•sed literacy program for K·
3 children who struggle will, reading. Each
v()lunrttr is-assigned co work with cwo chil­
dren for one hour each week. ACCQrding to
,he volunteer handbook, SMART diR'ers
from ocher rucoring programs because iL
.. does nm '(t~ch' readii'lg but insu:ad pro•
,rid~ the supports ch:u encourage rt:1ding."'
·1 he ide-3 is that by providing an envi(()1)me1'lr
chat encou~g~ reading., these kids will s-ran
co enjoy ir, a1ld gmdo:illy imprO\'C. 8ecalLw
many of the children come fro111 low-incomc
fumilies wht·rc books may ,,or be ~1Vailable.
they ger to take home rwo boQks a !'noJHh to
build up a colltc(ion of their own.
What's a typical <lay of SMJ\JlT like? In
one word: fun. Ir's a gr~n break f1:01n school,
ll''!d I ~ways Come back wid, fuony scories lO ccll about what
my kids said or
did that day. My
first ~11lt"St<"r was
Sfl"nC .. Whit-
man £1emenr:.u-y, where many smdencs corne
from ocher coLLt1trie$ ... n,ey·re s-ciU learning
English, so it is difficult for them "' keep up
in das$. It b not uncommon for SMART
volunccers co be p:iired witb these smdents.
I was assigned two 1hird-gradc boys rim
:,cmtstc.r, one of which had some behavioral
problems and evcnrually had to cransfor. lltis
boy always had a huge smile on his F.tce when
ir was rime for SMART; you could see rhac
he was ccsratic about it. I was a little unsee­
ded when he cold me chat his l,jkc was scolcn
and he beat up some kid o•cr Thanksi;iving
Break. ft m~.de rne ct--ali-zc that che.se kids have
gone through some tough ,nu[
My other boy wa$ alw:.t)'S really c:xcircd
~1bout SMART coo. He would see me in minu,es
before his mm and
would say, "Oh, is
ir time yet? Is it time
':~"'!"~'."' for SMART?' Ir al­
ways .surprised 1'11e
how excired rhese kids were. I thought kids
hared reading. i-his boy was really cooptra ...
tive. although he mainly liked co look ar pic•
rure books. S!-;IART is Aexible , har way: the
kids tfon't ll;.1vc 10 read if they're not co1hfort4
able whh ir.
1his semester, I'm ar \Xloodmcrc Elcmen-­
mry, which also ha.,; a lot of students tbar are
srill learning English. 'lhe school website
states ,hat 1·\X1oodmtrc:- has a large. co,11mu­
nicy (45%) of children Comins from fumi­
lic:.s whose home la11guage is not English and
whose culcuraJ backgrou11d is varied." So
once again, 1..hcrc arc a lot of student.s who
need :1ssisr:mce. The program at \Xlood,ncr<:

RJD2's The Third Hand
grabs a new style, sound
by Sanne Stienstra II arts editor
• Hip-bop producer slash innovative be~n­
rnaker RJ D2 is pre1ty much the only god I
believe in. I was quire looking for.,.iard co che
rele:tSe of 1ht 7hird H,md, which wiU be re­
leased on March 6, his 6m album of com­
plcrcly new material .since 2004's m:.stcr­
piccc. Sina \~ lart Spokt. Hov.iever, 1 was
S\lrprised by wha, 71Jt Third Hand de.livered
because the whole album has a very differ­
ent focus d,an RJ D2's past work. In the end,
RJ D2 still delivers an ama,ing performance
wirh chis album and I like the ,v:,y tlw he is
going with his music.
71,e album begins with "You Never Had
ir so Good," a very lyric-heavy song d,ac is,
for rhc mos-r pare, pr:ctcy different from what
RJD2 usually docs. Following the from listeners.
··Tue Bad Penny" is an equally epic, char­
acrcristically RJ crack chat be-gins with a cool,
clock-like tick char progresses imo a deep,
heavy, sax-like drone. 11,e srrcllgrh and wcak­
nes$ of the beJ(S Auc-n1are, lllaking chis rrack
0l'le that could be put on repeat for hours
and hours. The song has a build-up like one
found in a Steven Spielberg movie, with an
t..-qually dramatic. movie-like climax near the
<·nd of the song [h:u pe,ers our with :t realis ..
tic wi1hdraw:tl.
RJD2 works his real magic on "Bt-yond,"
where he is able to perfocdy meld his lyr­
ics and hip-hop beats into a balanced song
reminiscent of"Making Days Longer," froin
chorus of this simple yet in1rigu­
ing song, RJ sofily in uses "We grew
up quick. ,-.1e ger dru,,k quick." The
tillkling bells, slow pace and more
involved lyricism by RJ give this
song a nt..·w sryle. but it is s1iU like­
able and ch:ir'1<terisric.,lly RJ in ir's
(:Jlthiness and unique simplicity.
"Have Me.rcy" immediately
brings RJ D2's mo;c typical sound RJD2 has made chis album
much more about his voice and
che lyrics than about heavy,
spine-tingling bears char once

back, from rhe ______ ...,. ___ ..,.,..-.,..-,
o~ning dis- Siner \\'lt l..tut Spoke. This
song mighr be the pcrfocrly

co balance lyrics and music. co beats and

lyrics. How­
c-vcr, chis crack
and chc next,
"Reality." con­
firm d1ai RJ 02
has made this
album much
more ibour his:
voice and rhc
lyrics than about
heavy, spine-tin­
gling beau thar RiCt2
once spoke for themselves.
"Work ir Out" and "Laws of the Gods"
follow suic, when RJ seems to grow mor<:
confident in ,he abilities of his voice. He
still manages t:◊ make his music and his lyr•
ics equally balanced in each song, nor letting
his \'Oice grow any louder than the consistent
beat.~ he puts with hjs words.
Finally, when 71,e Third Hand reaches its
seventh uack, RJ D2 re:illy becomes himself
again, with ,he he.wily beat-laden "Gee Ir." Ir
is obvious, wi1h che release of rhts aJum, char
RJ D2 appears co enjoy singing more than au­
diences ever thought he did, however, "Get
Ir" is all about the music and the:: mixir1g and
it confirms that RJD2 has nor lost the awe­
inspiring abiliry char firs1 garnered acrention "Paper Bubble'' is a cool,
sofrcr song of jusr instrll•

proach co the end of the al­
b,u11. RJD2 comple«-s The

Gospel," another Ruid.
lyric-laden song from his
new s-cyle. "lne song is a
lirde bit New Wave wir.b
a smooch jazz style tha,
again confirms RJD2's admir;iblc feorless­
ness-of new angles arld risks. (,!Evening Gos­
pel" sound.I eerily like Joe Jackson oc Steve
Miller's "Zip-A-Dce-Doo-Dah" in both cl1c
lyrics and instruments. R)D2 is always good
at bringing back older sounds and updating
them with his freash beors or s:unpling, like
GIBus $cop Biniel1 from 1hr Horror.
Over:1:II_, I \'-1:l.~ surprised by the difference
that some more lyrics and singing can make,
but when an anise likr.:: RJD2 makes music
char once sem its message mostly without
any words, it is a.drastic differe11ce.
However, 1J;r 71,ird Hand rerains enough
of whar made RJ D2 so cool in ,he first place
ro make all of the new rhings that he's doing
equally cool. Scissors cut funky tracks

-MadLibs-
by Lexie Briggs // senior staff writer
If you were alive during rhe l:He 1980s and c>arly 1990s,
you probably did some M.ulLibs. ·1 he bes, friend of road­
rripping parcms evc;:ry,,\1here, the.,;e frivolous timcwasters
would keep my bro[hcr and I enrc..Tcaincd in the backseat
for hours. or ::u leasr until one. of us gor cmnky :ind bored ,nd whiny. Okay, so ,hey only worked for abour fifteen
minu~~ ru a time. MadLibs are even more enrerraining
no,v-than they were back, chen. what with our more open
minds and imprcssivdy expanded ,•ocabularics fiJI of Lib­
eral Ans words like "oralicy" and "'efficacious." Here's an
example, just in case you don'c remember how:
"Wow," said President Tom Hochstettler, in a recent address during par•
ents weekend, KLC [noun) sure does suck [verb] at life [noun]. I always get
[verb] more [adjective] lovely [adjective] ladies [noun[s]] than any of those
stinky [adjective] bastards [noun[s]]."
"If I were a _,.,_no ... u .... n_, I would verb the noun ," said _..,n.!.la,.m,..e,.__
--"LIi",.,.,....,· ,.__."I' 11 _ _, ..... b,___ aujertive vec your noun-," said name
Before the noun was verb(ed/ the _..,a..,,<iJ1J.1ie.,,c;t, .. ·1:.1ve._ __ _,_n,...o,.u.,.n[1,,1UJ.--, would
verb the noun[sJ of America.

I ''Help me, 'G.''' An advice column for
today's troubled yoofh.
Problem:
DearG,
I have a really major problem on mv hands: I got a
physical yesterday and rhe doctor told me dm I have VO.
I haven't ,old my girlfriend yet, because I'm 100 embar­
rassed. I certainly don•c wane to jeop.~rdi?.e t)ur rd:ll.ion•
ship. Whatever shall I do?
Sincccdy,
Infected Svlu1io11:
\Xlcll, "lnfocred," normally my advice to anyone is
"'whac ch(.-ydon't know can't hun them.~ Jn this a.se, whar
she doC$n'r know acrua!ly can hurt her, gravely so, bur I
am -a man of my word, Therefore. 1 support my clichC
1t1m-of-phrasc yet again. She probably didn't even con­
iran VO.
Another .iob well done.
