Last Tuesday, ihc United Srntcs Supreme

Altria Group's Philip Morris USA ro pay co
1 l\c wido,•.r of Jesse \Xfilliams, a former Port­
land Public Schools janitor and longtime
smoker who died of cancer.
Although a major blow 10 the plaintiffs,
the ruling could bode ,vell for persons and

'The 5,-4 decision was seen as a rnoouo'1en•

Philip Morris arguc:d dlar the jury was cn­
cournged 10 punish them for health problems
suffered by every Oregonian who smoked ics

Chief Justice John Roberi;s and jlLsticcs
Samuel Aliro. Anthony Kennedy and David

Dissenting were jusria:s Roth ·Bader

''While eviden<:e of adual harm to nonparties can help to show
that the conduct that harmed the plaintiff also posed a substantial

"There is no .reason why the measure of the appropriate

True Liberals?: Clinton, Obama and the entire
Democratic Party don't deserve public support
by Adam Sanchez
I hope: J waso't the only lcftisl nearly choking on my own
vomit afrcr reading rhe rocenr Piolog -articles ,,rguing wherher
we should support Hillary Clinron or Barack Obama. Hope­
folly. ,l dClser cx.aminadon of these two candidares and the
organi7..ation rhcy work under will lead people rn ask a much
more imporranr question: should rhc left support the Demo­
cra1ic Pury at all?
Both Clinton and Obama have alignc'<I themselves far ro rhc
rig.hr of the anti-war mcwc:menr chat has long called for "uoops

At firsr glance, Obama seems like one of the berrer <lemo­

,vhen he sta.rred his

tial hopefuls, like the vast majority of the Democrat­
ic Parry, aren't even true liberals. Borh Clinton and
Oban1a have .consistently and openly supported free
rrade nee-liberal policies, nor to mention they borh
recently voted to build a 700-mile apartheid wall on
the US-Mexico border!
Carl Davidson, :,1 former Vietnam \Var prorest leader who
helped organize a 2002 rally ;)t which Obama spoke, says th:.u
afi:cr the prorest and rhc 2003 invJ.sio11, Oba.ma's posicion on

from believing the new lies the Bush adJniniscracion

the Whirc House used to spre.1d lies about weapons
of mass di.~truccion. It doesn't take a genius lO sub­
stirutc "EFP" for "WMD" and ask the obvious ques­

when ne.,rly 111 rhe rnacks on U.S. forces come

Obama has also ma<le his fiddiry to U.S. Em­

Ulrimarcly, the Den,ocrars share the Bush ad­

Iran might be dangerous, but Americans must not fall for bogus reasons to wage another impossible war
by Danny Garcia l
W irh the U.S. deac.h roll in Iraq at well over 3,000 qoops and no end in sight, the Iraq sicu.·ation is
messy. There is always Afghanistan to worry about coo, considering that the main target there has
been unusually elusive. These two engagements give signs for a long, strenuous camp-our. To make
matters worse, U.S. officials have confirmed chat bomb-making materials found in the possession of Shiite l
insurgents in Iraq came fro.m Iran. Whethe-r or not these materials have come from the higher seats of Iran's
government is unclear. Regardless of who is supplying rhe weapons, there is little chat the U.S. can do co r

What is SAAB?
SAAB's current fuoccio1'I as an arm of ASLC is multi­
dimensional. Com prised of srudcn r rcprcscnrarivcs from ¢\1ery
academic dcpanmcnr. chc Board's primary rask is to address
academic issues ch,n affec1 srudenrs: curriculum planning.
the yearly ;'lademic calendar, faculty retention and relations,
genernl education rcquircmcntS, the senior parry and gift,
and more. Jhey also serve as :1 means of communication
b<:twee11 srudenrs and rheir depanmcnr facuJcy.
"Because SAAB is chc board with the: most conrac1 with
fuculry, rhcy are ,he student board ,he fuculty lisrcn ro mosr."
Vl' for Campus Life Mich ad Ford said.
The SAAB Chair also holds positions on ,be Curriculum
Committee, as a liaison to the Board ofTrusrees, and also on
the ASLC Executive Council.
1-he mosr visible and unique role of SAAB, however, is ii'$
granr program. Every year, SAAB gives :iway approximarely
$40,000 to fund ir)dividual student research projects,
pe,-formaoce ans projcccs, trips ro confcrcoces. a,1d vi.s-itillg
scholars.
l11 its 25 years of exisrence, SAAB has given $885.000

lhat principle of smdents supporting other srudcms'

said.

"One thing
people don't know
[1bou, SM BJ is
rhe political dour and
policic:il voice SAAB has
on c.:1n1pus," Lamb said . .,.
"If SAAU puts hs name on

or-for example-the
lludgec ,nd Finonee
forum last week abour the
7% wicion incrca.sc ... that
inAue11ce gers losr in our grant in tutoring
programs, bur it's probably one of rhe more
importam aspects of our organization."
The Birth of SAAB
ASLC didn'r always have a board char
fonctioned this w;,y. In 1982. ASLC was
practically unidelltifiable fro,n its current State.
Ir was managed by a board called the ASLC
Student Senale. comprised of rc-prcsencacivcs
from each residence hall-io essence rnirroring
rhc current struccurc of rhc LC Activities
Congress.
The bolfd's 20 10 25 members "fol< tha,
chey w~rcn'r being as effective as they wa,ued
to be as Studcm government," Ford said.
,.l hey we,e always haggling about one thjng or
another, and afcer awhile they looked at each
other and said, 'This just i.sn•c working.' ..
There was :l general sense on che board,
Ford said, chat srudents weren 'r being accurately
represented in the ways chat mancr. Ford. ar
thar time the Director for Student Activities,
suggesred they make a change.
'"There was a general agreement chac they
didn't come here so that they could live in
Copeland or l'larr-Howlfd. ·rney came here
for rhe academic program." Ford said. "Bm
they weren't represented by their academic
program, and becau.~e of chat they were viewed
by faculry and many smdenrs as a 'governance
sandbox.' Pt-ople who wanted co play in
politics. And they were11'r being lis1er1ed ro in
terms of academic policy."
Studenr Senate rhcn made the decision
co orb~niie rhcrnselves not around residence
halls bur academic majors-the main r(:ason
snide-ors come ro an undagraduarc college.
-mey agreed that 01 rnnin component of die
board would be a student academic aff.,irs
board. whose function was co interact with
faculty about academic issues.
"lhey =lly wanted co reinforce rhe
academic life of the students." Ford said. "And
d1ey wamed to do C\•cn more cha.u chat, so they
came up wirh rhe idea of a fu1'ldi1,gbodywithin larger ASLC." This grant-Funding c-0rnponcnr
would uhimarely become an imponant part of
SAAB.
In order to create the nt'ccssary funds for a

Vagina Monologues doesn't beat around the b·ush
Dressed predominantly in black with red

Clark's annual staging of Tiu Vagina Mo110-

imo the Flanagan Chapel last "Thursday.
Narrator Calli flishop ('09) opened d,e
show by inrroducing the premise of ,he play.
Wrirren by Eve Ensler, it is based on inccrvk-:ws

not the only ones who think lhe word "v:igi­

the women on stage were re:1dy wi{h a list of by Amy Pombo
alternatives, so1nc of which were delightfully
regional-specific (ir's "the beaver" in Portland
and ''the ravine at LC). For the rest of the
night. then: was :.1 bit more beating around the
bush (no pun intended) with euphemisms •nd
slang terms, but a lot more 110-nonsensi:, 1er•
minological precision.
71,e monologues themselves began with
"'Hair." and then the audience was rc.galed with
a sampling of replies t0 rh< qu<'Stion "What
Would it Wear>• Interviewees were also ;1Sked
"What would ir say'" and "What does ir smell
like?., Answers ro a.U three a.re shared and in­
clude a pleasant mix of the serious, chc raun­
chy. the defensive and the coy.
"What Would it Wear?• was followed by
"Memory of Her Face", a sobering piece abour women whose fuces :ue dclibcracdy burned
with acid, ;rn unhappy praclicc robe sure, b~t
some,vha.1 unfining with the more lively ronc
of rhe pieces before and after ir. 7 he handful
of ocher serious-minded n1onologucs char ad4

in«-grated.
The interu;icy wirh which each woman rook
on her role varied from performance ro perfor­
mance, with some of che actresses mcrdy read­
ing their lirn:s and others raking on characters
more fully. Tl,e informality of the presenta­

The Lewis & Clark softball team had
forgotten what it was like to win. That is
unti I last Sunday. when the Pioneers end­
ed a 1 I -game losing streak dating back to
last season. The Pios were last in the win
column March I 9, 2006 when they swept
George Fox with a 7-l win. A f\er starting
this season 0-5 the Pios earned their first
win of the season with a 6·3 victory over
Southern Oregon in the Southern Oregon
Invitational Toumamcnt.
The Pios got off to a quick start, plating
a mn in the first i1U1ing after a Janet Fre­
erks ('07) single knocked in Cristy Hatton
('09). But Southern Oregon answered back
\\1th a run in both the second and third in­
nings.
Then the Pio offense unloaded. In the
fourth inning a pair of walks put two ducks
on the pond for Charlotte Skeffington ('08).
who came 1hrough in the clutch, lacing a
double into the gap and putting another nm
on the board. Emily Stra\\1l ('07) followed
suit, singling in another nm. Another pair
of walks helped the Pios in the sixth in­
ning, as they knocke.d in lhrcc more mns
thanks 10 a Megan Aucutt (' I 0) single and
a Frecrks double.
The Pios left eight runners on base and
had one less hit than Southern Oregon.
They have struggled offensively all sc.a-son and have been outscored by their op•
ponents 53-12. However, in this game they
got some help, receiving nine walks. These
free passes combined with Freerks hold­
ing Sou them Oregon to just tbree runs over
seven innings added up to a 6-3 Pios win.
Freerks also went 2·3 in 1he gamt! and had
three mns batted in.
In their second game last Sunday. the
Pios lost 10 Northwest Christian College 3-
1. They were unable to muster any offense.
getting only four hits while striking out
seven times. The Pios also suffered lossc.s
in both of their games on Saturday. 111cy
fell to Concordia (Calif.) 19-1 and were
defeated 8-0 by Oregon Tech. Concordia is
ranked tcmh in lhe nation and, according
to the latest DIil polls. Oregon Tech is the
fifteenth best team in the nation.
·"Las1 year's wins and losses were at•
tached to last year's team," said Coach
Jennifer Piper. "It was a huge tribute to this
team that they were able to come out af•
1cr Saturday's results and play the best they
have played yet this season."
The competition will get a little easier
this Saturday as the Pios begin co,uer­
cncc play by traveling to Salem to take
on the Willamette Bearcats. Willamette
was picked to finish fifth in the Northwest
Conference prescason polls. The Pios were
picked to finish seventh. Game time is at
12:00 p.111.

The Pjoneer women~ ten a.is team bcg3n their conference play with a victory
