Norman Dale O'Bannon, Professor
Emeritus of Economics, dies at 77
by Stephanie Beechem II editor-in-chief
Norman Dale O'Bannon, Professor Emeritus of Econom­
ics and a thirty-year veteran professor at che College of Ans &
Sciences, died on Monday, January 28. President Tom Hoch­
stetcler reported O'Bannon's passing in a campus-wide e-mail
to the Lewis & Clark community on Tuesday, January 29.
O'Bannon was 77.
"He was a wonderful person," said Associate Professor of
Economics Jim Grant. "He was always around co help stu­
dents."
Born in Hamilton, Texas, O'Bannon studied at Texas A&.M
University and University of Virginia before receiving his doc­
torate from Tulane University in 1964. He moved to Portland
to work at Lewis & Clark in 1965, where he served as a profes­
sor of Economics until his retirement in 1995. O'Bannon also
served in the Air Force and worked in business.
O'Bannon's specialties and research interests in the eco­
nomics department included macroeconomics, monetary eco­
nomics, and law and labor economics. In cl1e 1980s, before the
arrival of then-president Michael Mooney in 1989, O'Bannon
worked closely with the administration in the planning and
development of the College. O'Bannon also led multiple over­
seas trips, including a trip to Peru from 1969-70.
During his many years at the College, O'Bannon was fre­
quently accompanied by his dog, Bandit, Grant said. "Bandit
was as much a member of the College as anyone else," he said.
"Everyone knew Bandit, and everyone knew Dale."
O'Bannon is survived by his wife and two sons, Derek and
Allen O'Bannon ('86). Remembrances should be directed to
Lewis & Clark. warming, gay marriage and the up­
coming Presidential election.
On the first, he focused on the
possibility of the continued use of
coal as a source of energy. The key,
he said, in the search for energy al­
ternatives, is experimentation and
sciencific progress in developing
·more efficient methods. On gay
rightS, an issue char created contro­
versy on the largely pro-gay mar­
riage campus of Lewis & Clark,
Ford defended his support for the Federal Marriage Amendment.
Also known as the Marriage Pro­
tection Amendment, che proposal
seeks to define marriage as union of
one man and one woman. It has
failed co obtain the required votes
for passage. He affirmed his sup­
port of the gay community but
stood by his conviction that mar­
riage should not include same-sex
unions.
In another issue dear to the stu­
dents of LC, Ford spoke briefly of the upcoming election. Though
he has refused co endorse either
democratic candidate, he expressed
his support for Hilary Clintonfs
universal healthcare idea. Though
che opinions of Ford were nor al­
ways congruenr with those of rhe
students, his visir was a valuable
opportunity for the community
to learn from a weathered former
Congressman who remains an in­
Auential piece of Americais politi­
cal framework.

Focus the Nation addresses issues, solutions, obstacles
by Sarah Bobertz JI staff writer
Ir was difficulr co ignore che campus-wide Focus the Nacion events raking place
lase Thursday. The event, conceived by Focus the Nation's ? director and Lewis &
Clark Economics Professor Eban Goodstein, featured a series of lectures, discus­
sions, and debates abour global warming issues. Topics covered included sustain­
ability, alrernarive energy, biodiversiry and the implications and possible remedies
of global climate change. Many of the sessions focused on the issue of carbon emis­
sions, from buying carbon offsets ro the college's carbon footprint. The presenra­
cions were given by prominent local and national experrs, politicians, professors
and LC students. Even the Bon got in on che action, serving a low carbon menu
rhroughour che day. In ocher words, no processed foods and no non-local items
requiring long-distance uansporc.
The day culminated with the Focus the Nation Regional Summit ac the Uni­
versiry of Portland. A joint efforr of many of Oregon's colleges and universities, the
event was inrended co connect students and citizens with political leaders in order
co discuss clean energy solutions.
Srudencs responded very well co the project's presence on campus, as they rook
advancage of the many opportunities co get involved, packing conference rooms
and auditoriums co cake pare in an array of inrerdepanmenral panels pertaining ro
the concerns of global warming.
Clockwise from above: At U of P, politicians participate in a panel, with questions posed by Oregon students; The 2% Solution national debate streams
into the Council Chamber at Lewis & Clark; Theatre students, under the direction of Stephen Weeks, in a mock Presidential debate.
QUOTABLES: STUDENTS SPEAK OUT ON

"Clearly it is important to direct­
ly confront our politicians on is­
sues concerning climate change.
However, I was disappointed by the
panel at University of Portland in
that the local politicians seemed to
continue to avoid the issues."

esting that everyone got to relate their

knowledge about environmental issues

Chuck Norris votes for?
by Angela Webber II news editor
Over the past few months, more and more politicians, actors,
and random notorious folks have been shifting their weight
in the political process by endorsing the candidate of their
choice for the '08 Presidential race.
And it's often digni.fied. Who wouldn't
love co watch the Kennedys all but invite
Obama into their illustrious family of Dem­
ocrats? And good for the unions for flexing
their muscles and supporting the candidate
cbat will treat them best. That's how democ­
racy should work.
Bur then, I think about Huckabee's vic­
tory rally in Iowa, with Chuck Norris beam­
ing beb.ind che former governor as he gave
his acceptance speech.
First of all, che Chuck Norris era ended
a while ago, even on the darkest corners of
the internet. No one wants ro hear another
roundhouse kick joke. And secondly -what
the heck? What Presidential candidate in
their right mind wanes co be associated with
a has-been small-screen action hero? Even if
"friend of Chuck Norris" is better than what
he actually is ...
I'm all for politicians showing their
views. If anyone chooses Obama because
he has Kerry's endorsement, at least they
have co make their own political decision a•t
some point. Bur... The Greatful Dead? Will
Smith? Ben Affleck? Come on, guys. What
makes Ted Nugent so special, chat he can't
wait unril primary day co make his choice?
Don't these celebrities have a VHl special
they could be making?
And the actually popular people ... that is
a little more deeply troubling. What does it
say that George Clooney thinks he needs to show us his views in order to get us involved?
Ir is troubli.ng ro me co think chat we may
not care about politics unless Rob Reiner
picks a side for us.
Then, of course, there's Oprah. She"s crazy
powerful, rich, and popular (for some rea­
son). I'd rather have a free car than a polilical
opinion, honestly, bur it upsers me rhar some
are mad at her for expressing her opinion. 1
mean, freedom of speech, right? Freedom of
hanging our with Obama's wife and rallying
for him in big primary states ...
This brings up a somewhat alterna­
tive point of view ... do celebrity endorse­
ments serve to make politics more exciting/
watchable/"enrercaining" ... in a good way? It
can get repetitive actually lisrening co stump
speeches; it's so rare that the campaign trail
creates any actually notable news (sorry guys,
Hillary didn't actually cry, and Bill isn't re­
ally a racist, it's just Anderson Cooper celling
you iliat).
So ... does it matter? I kinda doubt chat
anyone is aligning their political opinion
based on the statements of Garrison Keiller
or Jack Nicholson. 1 mean, Viggo Mortensen
endorsed Kucinich ... and look at him now.
So perhaps it's OK if we can't get celebrities
to shut the fuck up about policies and just
donate in silence. They aren't hurting my­
thing, and it might be fun co watch Barba­
ra Streissand and Hillary Clinton high-five.

Super-Tuesday results fail to
answer who will be Democratic
front-runner
by Matt Savage // senior staff writer
''I was friends with Hillary Clinton before we started
this campaign,; I will be friends with Hillary Clinton
after this campaign is over" -Barack Obama
After Super Tuesday, there is a clear
cont,rast between the Republican and
Democratic primary races. On the Re­
publican side, John McCain is the heir
apparent, with more than twice as many
delegates as Mitt Romney, his near­
est competitor. While Romney has not
dropped out, the race is all but over. But
on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton
is narrowly ahead by only eighty dele-
gates. the party's chances in November.
Without a clear frontrunner soon,
pressure will begin for Democrats to form
a united ticket against McCain. Despite
their dashes over the past year, many will
start calling for a Clinton-Obama ticket.
Obama's supporters, naturally, will
howl in protest. But it may end up being
the best thing for the parry. An Obama­
Clinton ticket will have a nice balance
And che Demo­
cratic race is unlikely
to be resolved soon.
In the next four state
primaries, Clinton
is leading in Wash­
ington and Maine,
but Louisiana will
likely vote for Ba­
rack Obama. Clin­
ton has a narrowing
lead in the national The Democrats will
be forced to spend
their time, and their of change and ex­
perience, hope and
practi.cality, prag­
matism and results.
It also will be a his­
torically unique
ricket of a wom­ . . money, carnpa1gn1ng an and an Afri­
can-American. against each other,
rather than McCain. The wild
card in all of
this is John Ed­
wards. If he were
polls. However, Barack Obama has raised
more money than Hillary Clinton ($32
million in January alone!), and has a lot
of momentum.
This presents the Democratic candi­
dates and thei,r party with a problem. Mc­
Cain will be leading a party that is united
behind a candidate (Rush Limbaugh not
withstanding), and will be able to appeal
to the inde~ndent voters he will need
to win an eleccioo. The Democrats will
be forced to spend their time, and their
money, campaigning against each ocher,
rather than McCain. And the longer it
continues, the more damage it will do to to endorse one of the two candidates, he
wouki bring supporters, donors, and 5.6
potential delegates. He could play king­
maker, and be an invaloable surrogate on
the trial. He also might want another shot
at running fo,r Vice President.
Al Gore is also an endorsement
that would help decide the race.
And questions about Floriaa and
Michigan's delegates will doubtlessly
resurface.
The Democrats currently have the
advantage in this year's presidential
election. But with a divided party it
could quickly evaporate. Super-Tuesday, more like
Super-Frustrating
by Helen Hunter II forum editor
The 2008 presidential election is pregnant
with hiscorical potential. However, this past
Tuesday's primaries have effectively illustrat­
ed the huge division within the Democratic
Party. The lack of a clear Democratic front­
runner is wildly frustrating and also really
awkward. Intra-party divisions have created
a superficial distraction from what might
possibly be a more important goal for Dem­
ocrats: winning the White House.
Once either Clinton or Obama wins the
official party nomination, the only way that
he or she is going co win the general election
is going to be if the entire parry reconciles
their passive, bitter competitiveness.
During the 2000 election, George Bush
promised to be a "unifier, not a divider."
Eight years lacer, che division between the
liberals and conservatives is wider than ever.
Needless to say, this leaves a huge respon­
sibility to whomever cakes office in January
2009. This future president will need to deal
with the debt, the war, the immigration ques­
tion, civil liberties, health care, etc., and do it
in a way chat pleases the maximum amount
of people.
What this country needs now is compro­
mise. And it needs to start within the par­
woo,
MAllQJ
e:,·R AS! ties. I was so des­
perately hoping that there would be a clear Democratic
frontrunner established on Tuesday, if only
to end the passive aggression between myself
(an equal opportunity Democrat lover that
prefers Clinton) and my Obama-supporting
friends.
Ask yourself this, if you are a Demo­
crat who is rooting for Obama and Clinton
won the primaries: are you going to resist
the grassroots campaigning you would have
done for Obama, just out of spite? Would
you rather vote for the Republican nominee
(who is likely to be McCain, if you haven't
been paying attention)? My guess is no.
The small gap between Clinton and
Obama suggests to me that there are good
things about both of chem and they clearly
appeal to somewhat equal numbers of Dem­
ocrats. The feud that exists between the sup­
porters of the two candidates is really super-
0uous and takes away from bigger issues.
Ultimately, to mend the country, we are
going to need to mend the parties first. I am
more than ready for che primaries to be over
so that the intra-party competition can sub­
side and we can finally all stand behind one
candidate. Maybe someday we can have a
president that can reconcile the two parties
and run the country in a way that represents
all of its citizens. _7 ______________________ -.i•i•••••-- ...... ________ th_e_P_io_n_e_e_r_L_o_g_,_F_e_b_ru_ar....,y.8

Shifting the focus of LC's War on Drugs
While the current action against the unfair treatment of the drug policy is a plus, students should broaden their focus
by Lori Jonestrask // guest writer
Campus Safety's execution of the Lewis
and Clark drug policy came under a lot of
fire this fall semester. For the first time since
I've been at LC, students' vague grumbling
about the drug policy is being superseded by
actual efforts to organize around drug issues.

than whites, a disparity dr1ven largely by
the grossly racial ~r:geting of drug laws." Al-

conversation a little further. Drug policy on
campus may be unjust, but what is the big­
ger picture? According to campus safety data,
2004 and 2005 saw three arrests for drug-re­
lated violations. ln 2006 there were no drug­
related arrests. There were, on the other
hand, hundreds of disciplinary referrals for
alcohol and drugs. The resulting sanctions
are often unpleasant, but far milder than the "stuck" in rhe justice
system. Incarcecated individuals are disero­
portionarely from low-income1 non-white
communities.
To rake a specific example of racial target­
ing, let's look at the difference between crack
and powder cocaine. The two forms of the
drug are similar in their physical and mental
effects, but have culturally different associa-
tions. Crack is considered ro be a "black," "low­
cr~class" drug, whereas cocaine is more asso,
ciated with wealthier, whiter communities.
Sentencing is accordingly disparate -judges
can, an~ sometimes must, impose the same
sentence for possessing 5 gtams of crack as
for 500 grams of powder cocaine. Further­
more, even though approximately two thirds
of crack users are white or Hispanic, sentenc­
ingproject.org shows that 84.5% of offenders
convicted in 1994 were.African-American.
These are the statistics, bur what are the
effects of the war on drugs? First of all, the
US is the only democracy in wruch for­
mer felons can be disenfrandiised. In other
words, people with prior felony convictions
can be denied the right to vote, even though
they have completed theit sentence. This bas
tangible political consequences; the Florida
2000 presidential election was a close con­
text partly because 31 percent of all African­
American men in the state were barred from
vot(ng. Go,e was received overwhelming
support from black voters as a whole, and it
is 1.4llik.ely that there would have recount or
a controversy if former felons were not dis­
enfranchised.
Secondly, 'the war on drugs and its ac­
companying incarceration of thousands for
non-violent crimes has a corrosive effect on
communities. Young men and women are
removed from their communities, placed in
an often abusive environment with limited opportunities for education or "rehabilita­
tion," and then released back into their com­
munities years later. Former prisoners often
re-enter society lacking the education and
resources co find housing and employment,
and there are many legal barriers that prevent
them from finding jobs and receiving social
services.
All of these faces taken together create a
grim picture, and lead the ACLU to suggest
that rhe war on drugs is the new Jim Crow.
So, why bring all of chis up? What I am
hoping to make clear is chat just by virtue
of being at this college we are in a position
of privilege. The war on drugs is very differ­
ent in a predominantly white college campus
and in a criminalized, low-income, minor­
ity communiry. Thar doesn't mean that our
situation is perfect, or that we shouldn't be
able to advocate for our own needs. Bur how
much can we hope to accomplish if we are
acting in a bubble? Instead of focusing nar­
rowly on our own campus policies, lee's try to
contextualize student drug issues within the
broader picture. Maybe then we'll be able to
continue our own campus efforts while also
becoming allies in the larger struggle.

Travel and babies: unorthodox LC
World-travels, marriages, and young children set these students apart
by Larkin Flora // staff writer
It's no surprise that Lewis & Clark
srudencs differ in many aspects from
traditional undergraduates at other
schools .Here, it's not uncommon to
6nd a student who has spent extended
time traveling at some point during his
life, and it's only slightly more uncom­
mon to find someone who's either taken
time off during college or before. What
is more unusual is to find scudents who
are married, and even more rare to 6nd
those who have children. Eicher way,
these less-than-average students are
worth noting.
Sam Korman (' 11) has wanted
to rravel since he was five. Growing
up, his parents cold him bedtime sto­
ries about their adventures around the
world. Through the process of reading
and studying about different cultures in
school, Korman realized chat there were
other things co experience than what he
could get from a classroom.
After graduating from high school, Korman put his
dreams into action. He rook seven months co travel around
che U.S., Canada, Western and Eastern Europe. Buying a
one-way ticker and limited onJy by the prospect of running
out of money, he traveled by himself.
"It was sometimes lonely, or nerve-wracking. I learned
that I could keep going, could keep myself active. I feel like I
accomplished something in doing that," Korman said of trav­
eling without a plan. "I accomplished it on my own."
After his first round of traveling, Korman lived at home
and worked. He still wasn't sure whether or not school was
the place for him. After talking to a friend who had taught
English in Prague, he decided to go to Thailand. It wasn't
what Korman had expected. He goc sick soon after he arrived
and didn't have health insurance.
Teaching English wasn't what he thought it would be ei­
ther. "I felt like I was servicing Western industry," Korman
recalled. "I felt very alienated."
Bur working in the Thai schools was an eye opening ex­
perience. Sam realized how much he rook his high school
degree for granted when the public education in Thailand is
so terrible.
"I went in co a classroom that had an old map on the wall.
It still had the USSR on it." Later Sam talked to a friend who
was astonished. "He was like, 'Wow! They had a map?"'
"Going to Thailand made me value education and chat
opporruniry," Korman said. Now it's about finding a balance­
between traveling and school. The move into the dorms was
especially hard for Korman.
"I felt like I was talking a huge step back to do something
chat I wasn't sure I wanted to do in the first place," he said.
Fortunately, after his 21st birthday, Korman was able to­
move out of the dorms and get an apartment. Moving off
campus made a huge difference in how he views school, Port­
land and homework.
"I don't mind having class," Korman said. "If 1 wasn't in
class I'd be working. I like education. I don't like seeing how
much people take it for granted."
Korman is paying for school by himself and hopes to trav­
el more in the near future. Edward Robles ('08) and his wife grew up together.
They met in elementary school and began dating in their ju­
nior year of high school. When Robles graduated from high
school and moved to Portland for school, his then-girlfriend
Kathryn stayed in Calif~rnia. They managed to stay together
through a long distance relationship, but they wanted to be
closer .
"We didn't want to live together and not be married,"
Robles said, "and we couldn't be apart." So the two decidedto
gee married before they were out of college. They were mar­
ried in January 2006, during Robles' sophomore year at LC.
Last year, Robles and Kathryn became parents.
"Being married and having a kid gives you a really close­
support network," Robles said. He explained that the bene­
fits of having a family while still in school outweigh the chal­
lenges.
"You see your kid there in the morning and realize chat it's
nor just about you," Robles said.
Kali Harper ('JO), a history major, and her husband also­
faced the challenges of a long distance relationship as Robles.
They met during high school at Model United Narions."He
was Armenia and I was Chile. It's kind of embarrassingly
geeky," said Harper.
They began dating soon after that and "realized pretty­
quickly chat it was something worth riding the Geyhoun
for." Harper said she came up against some animosiry when
people found out she was getting married.
"Sometimes, you get harsh reactions. People assume fun­
ny things. They ask me if it was a religious match or if I was
pregnant," she said. Once her friends got to know Paul, her
husband, they became more supportive.
They realize chat "it was just something that fit for us,"
Harper said, adding that she's also had friends who said they
aren't afraid of marriage anymore.
"That is the coolest part, because they see in us all the
benefits. You have your best friend there all the time ready to
love and support you through anything," Harper said.
"I didn't plan my life out with the idea of getting married
young, I just fell in love and found so~eching completely­
wonderful early on," she said. .th_e_P_io_n_e_e_r_L_o_g_, _F_e_b_ru_ary ___ s_,_2_o_o_s ___________ i=i¥1m@- .. _______________________ 9 __
Posters, e-mails, and other ways to be updated at LC

Welcome ro Lewis & Clark! Remember your campus

ways be something going on? Remember when they cold you
rhere were a million clubs and if you didn't like them, you
could make your own? ·well, yo~ went co rhe Activities Fair,
and you joined a couple lists, bur you didn't go co the meet­
ings since all the clubs looked like cliques. And now you sir
in your room each night, struggling through your reading,
looking up transfer applications onJine. Halt! There is hope
for you!
You wouldn't know it talking to most first-years here, bur
LC is a hoppin' place. "There are important speakers visiting
every week, rock shows, and huge campus-wide events. But
students are inundated with fliers and emails. What is actual­
ly happening, and what is the application deadline for Teach
for America? The thing is, rhere is always something going
on, bur finding it is rhe problem. Here are some ideas how to
find our what's going on, sray in touch, and sray sane at LC.
Fliers: l know, they're everywhere, and some of them don't
make sense, or adverr.ise something stupid, or are 8 months
old. But rhis is the primary way most clubs and organize.rs
run their publicity.
Walk up co a wall in Templeron sometime with a planner,
and just jot down what's going on. Who knows, some night
you might be bored and hungry, and realize char the cheese
club is having their big whoop-de-do ar that ex:acr moment!
(nore: srarus of cheese club unknown, but last spring their
parry was on.April 20'").
Sta.ff. If you know a CLA. here·s a fun facr: rhey hang
up Aiers! CLAs are given batches of Aiers and posters each
week co hang up in their halls, and as a result, they know
wh;1r's going down on campus or, ar least, what the fliers say,
and where events are. Additionally, CLAs often run or co­
run various events on campus. If you're bored, jusr ask a CLA
what you should do, and rhey can probably provide you with
some son of clean, subsrance-free event co arrend.
Calendar ou-tside the Bon: Have you ever gorren back
from a wet, boring night of wanderi[!g aimlessly through
Chinatown, just to see the only dance of the semester WTap­
ping up in Sramm?
There are several huge campus-wide events a month, and rhese arc all posrcd on rhe big
whiteboard calendar outside
rhe Bon. Sure, rhe days-of-rhe
week magnets are mixed up,
but this is a great way co 6nd
our about rhe things char ev­
eryone WILL be going ro.
Facebook: Bur if you get
yourself over to rhe LC net­

see all rhe evenrs people and
groups have posted, along
with a prerry sready discus­
sion of what's going to hap­

Juggling and unicycles: not just for the Ringling Bros.

Lewis & Clark Juggling Club practicing.
One of rhe lesser known dubs on campus, the Juggling
Club was founded in the fall of2006 by Parker Lewis ('08), a
fire-juggler from the Vaudevillians, another LC performance
group, Lauren Brown (' 10) and Jesse Scbouboe (' 1 0). The
larrer two had some ju.ggling experience before, but by prac­
ticing with Lewis, soon were able to juggle clubs profic.iencly
and even pass ro one another.
Later joined by Molly Gibson (' l 0), these four members
make up the core of the LC Juggling club, with five o.r six:
orher members who arrend practices off and on.
"Jr's pretty easy co pick up," said Jeremy Lota (' 10), a
member of the Hawaii Club and a parricipanr in rhe club's
Lu'au, who began attending practices this fall. "They're re­
ally good teachers." According to Brown, the club consistS of
people in all skill levels. Three member-s of rhe Juggling
Club, including Brown, attended
rhe International Jugglers' Associa­
tion Festival lase summer in North
Carolina, where they juggled 15
hours a day, participated in work­
shops and saw a number of incred­
ible performances.
"We could even keep up with
some of rhe best passers at the Fes­
tival," Brown said. The group plans
on attending chis year's Fesrival in
Kentucky, and two members are
planning to attend the European
Juggling Conference in finland dur­
ing che summer of 2010.
The LC Juggling Club meets ev­
e.ry Sunday evening at 6:00p.m. in Council Chambers (or
Pamplin, if the space is in use). AIJ skill levels are welcome
to attend. Clockwise from far left: Gibson ('10), Schouboe

Sa'fecy Tips
Bikers need to wear helmets.
Bikers
clothing
don't. need to wear reflective
and have lights. Too many
Bikers need to be aware of how
difficult it can be for motorists
to see them, especially during this
time of year when it's dark and
rainy.
Bikers should never assume that
because they have the right of
way,are in a crosswalk, etc., that
motorists will yield to them. There
aretoo many inattentive drivers out
there talking on cell phones, fid­
dling with ipods, eating, reading,
drinking, etc.
Bikers and motorists all need to
observe motor vehicle laws; i.e.,
stopping at stop signs, using vis­
ible Chand and arm) signals before­
making turns, etc.
Motorists need to slow down and
be considerate of others using the
roadway and crosswalks.
Motorists need to stop before
crossing a sidewalk as they prepare
toenter a street. Too often there
is a bicyclist or pedestrian enter­
ing that same space. by Sarah DiSabatino // editor-in-chief

[n fact, additional bike racks and parking have been add­
ed co the campus in the past rwo years, reports Director
Parking and Transportation Mark Morgan, with many a~
dirional spaces in and around J. R. Howard Hall, injuding a
locker room devoted entirely to the indoor stor~e of uim
munity bikes.
But after Morgan and the LC Departme»csofTc3.J1SP.:V1:a­

bike-commuters in Oregon and southern Wash~on, int~

ter, will transport you from the dreary,
rain-soaked, and all-too-realistic land
of Foster Road straight into the fantastic
and beyond.
What do Jack the Ripper, seances and
the talking dead all have in common? Be­
sides all being rather bone-chilling, each
is the topic of Dead of Winter's trio of
ghostly plays. The production is a con­
joined effort by two Portland theatre
companies, Pavement Productions and
The Bluestockings. Co-founder of Pave­
ment Productions Steve Patterson is th.e
playwright; co-Artistic Director of the
same company, Lisa Abbott, directs.
Audience members are made to prac­
tically walk through the small ser to get to
their sears in Performance Works NW's
converted garage--or is it a haogar?­
of a stage. Fold-up chairs and old pews,
replete with cushions for optimum com­

All of these ghost stories work just as
well as whodunit cales of mystery. It's up
to the audience to figure out whether the
characters' perceptions are realiry or an in­
tense, bur purely psychological, mystical
experience. In Whitechapel, we meet Ca­
meliia Johnson, an American transplant
living in London's Whitechapel district,
one-time stomping grounds of Jack the
Ripper. A pompous English boyfriend,
a blind medium and a few very stubborn emphasis is put on
fancy props while more is given to dia­
logue and expressions-this coupled with
che intimate setting made it reminiscent
of old radio programming. This atmo­
sphere was also helped by the age range in
the room: this play's so good, only adults
go to it! So, go ahead, grow up with the
ghost stories of Dead oJWinter.

media, politics makes sparks fly
by James Reddick // news editor
Sadly, "Lord, Save us From Your
Followers," in nationwide release this
June, will likely have a similar effect
as that of other controversial, topical
films of the last few years, like "Fahr­
enheit 9/11," "Jesus Camp," "Broke­
back Mountain" and "The Passion of
Christ": it will divide the country into
two extremes, one calling it sacrilege
and the other our~ighr Gospel. Some­
where will be the average, free-think­
ing American, whose voice, in its calm
rationality, will go unnoticed.
In this reaction, Dan Merchant
and his poignant new documentary
which demands the question "why is
the Gospel of love dividing America?"
will be proved correct; the extremes of
the religious right and rhe liberal lefr
are fundamentally unwilling to under­
stand one another and prefer to spic
simplistic catchphrases of denuncia­
tion rather than to engage in a frank
dialogue.
Like Michael Moore, Merchant
uses a pop culture, effect-laden ap­
proach ro convey his message. Mucb
of his film is devoted to the televi­
sion personalities who shape Ameri­
can political discourse, from Ann
Coulter and Bill O'Reilly co Jon PHOTO BY JESSE ROPE

Stewart and Bi.ll Maher. Unlike Moore, how-
ever, Merchant approaches the issue from a
largely neutral position.
He does not barrage the viewer wich an
extreme stance, but instead critiques both
sides while remaining in between. Though
he hails from Oregon, the least religious stare
in the country, Merchant is indeed a Chris­
tian, and it is this fact that gives the film its
power. He represents neither the heathen­rhe country a la Borar and finds, within a
sea of different opinions, a lot of common
ground. Whether an atheist or a Christian,
a homosexual or a straight person, everyone
interviewed desired only acceptance bur felt
threatened by the strangeness of the "other."
In one of rhe strongest segmenrs of the film,
liberal atheists take on religious conservatives
in a Family Feud style game show. In an at­
tempt co force one group to put themselves
into the shoes of the other, they had
to answer questions such as, "What
would be a reason to get an abor­
tion?" The form of thinking that
Merchant is promoting is basically denouncing extrem­
ists of the Evangelist
movement nor the re­
ligion-bashing heathens
themselves, but instead
a significant portion of
the church-going popu­_ \ an exercise i.n empathy and imagi-
vo u R fOttOw,eRS nation, and it is one that we can all
lace who are disillusioned by
the acerbic and hateful actions
of both sides.
According to the film, nine out
of IO Americans believe in a God of
some sort. As he points out, this is
truly incredible and probably one
of the only things that 90 percent of
the population can agree on. So why is it char
religion, which, regardless of the denomi­
nation, preaches the same message of char­
ity and Love for others, is the principal force
of ideological conflict in this nation? To an­
swer th.is question, Merchant travels across benefit from.
Here at Lewis & Clark College, Chris­
tianity is often mer with outright scorn.
When, in an introduction to the movie,
Merchant mentioned LC's atheistic repu­
tation, much of the audience erupted in
applause-a sign char a large portion of tbe
undergrads here think themselves superior
to the "believing" majority of the Ameri­
can population. As much as th.e Evangelical
communiry of this country is to blame for
religious hatred, so coo is the close-minded
extreme left who criticize the faith of others.
As Merchant reminils us, blind judgment is
much. easier than understanding. _1_4 ____________________________ r_he_P_io_n_e_er_L_o_g_._F_e_bru_ary __ s_, 2_0_0_8
~ ~vA Despite success in Blue Scholars
· • celebrates 10 years show, LCM C future uncertain
by Anne Michaels II staff writer
It is that time of the month in February: to Stand
up against violence of women and girls. This Valen­
tine's Day is also known as V-Day, a day in which peo­
ple all over the world raise money ar various creative
events to bring awareness and attention to the abuse
of women which in.eludes rape, battery, sexual slavery,
female genital mutilation and incest.
Srudents at Lewis & Clark can participate in rhe
fight by attending 1he Vagina Monologues put on by
the Womyn's Center. The show is an Obie Award-win­
ning play that was written by Eve Ensler. The perfor­
mance consists of a series of monologues of women
speaking about their fantasies, fears, bodies, vaginas
and more. This year will be the I 0th annual produc­
tion of the show.
The V-Day Campaign and The Women of New
Orleans and the Gulf South, foundations that ben­
e£r women thar were affected by Hurricane Katrina,
will receive 10 percenr of the proceeds from the per­
formance. The other 90 percent of the proceeds will
be going to the Xochilr Clinic in El Viejo, Nicaragua
where several LC graduates are raising inoney for a
doctor for che women's community clinic that is cur­
rently managed by banana workers in a union.
Calli Bishop ('09), one of the coordinators of the
Womyn's Cenrer and The ¼gina Monologues produc­
tion, said that the show is going co be "an absolutely
electric performance." Now in its 10th year at LC, the
Womyn's Center production of The Vtigina Monologues
is still entertaining and meaningful. "The show is al­
ways incredibly empowering, funny as hell, moving,
and speaks in perfect tune to experiences that we all
have as women," Bishop said.
Even though the show is the same each year, it has
a different feel every rime because of the en.ergy that
the different women who perform bring. "We do it
each year because it's a powerful way to raise issues
of violence against women, and to celebrate being a
woman," said Bishop. "It's truly wonderful. Ir's what
V-Day is all about."
Not only women are expected to enjoy the show,
however. "Men love it too, of course," said Bishop.
"Especially the three minutes of fake orgasms." by Sarah Bobertz II staff writer
The excitement on campus when hip-hop group Blue
Scholars arrived last Friday was palpable. Easily one of the
most anticipated nights at Lewis & Clark in recent memo­
ry, the show lived up to the hype. Students staked out their
place in line hours before doors opened around 8:30 p.m.
and packed Evans Auditorium as Legal Lies kicked off the most popular with LC srudents who are native to the Wesr
Coast hip hop scene. During the show it was quite apparent
which srudents were diehard fans; they could be easily spot­
red balancing precariously on the armrests of the auditorium
chairs and belting out each rhyme word for word.
The show was one of the biggest concerts to ever hap­
pen at LC, and that is due large­
ly to the hard work of th.is year's
LC Music Coalition and chair Lee
Yang ('10). "I want to give LCMC
a new direction from the past two
years. It used to be only about lo­
cal bands," Yang said. "I wanted to
gee some visibility and introduce
the new role of LCMC on cam­
pus." The San Diego-based band
Estradasphere is scheduled co ap­
pear here April 26.
During a very quiet fall semes­
ter, rhe all-new LCMC ream of six
srudents worked wirh Yang ro plan
rhe Blue Scholars show, which
was the result of hours and hours
of work, talks with the bands and
weekly meetings. "le was a very
difficuJt semester. le just took us a
while to get the hang of it," Yang
said of the group's inactivity lase

One of the largest crowds ever at an LCMC event gathered last
Friday to see Pacific Northwest hip hop duo, Blue Scholars. "We just want to bring good
shows to campus so people can
enjoy chem," said Yang. However,
according co Yang and Director of Srudenr Activities Rob­
bie Fung, the remaining two LCMC concerts have a fate yet
unknown. "LCMC's budget is still in the process of being
finalized so the planned concerts may or may nor go on,"
said Yang. night for a sold-out audience.
The crazed crowd was nothing short of a mob scene, from
the moment the doors opened and students pushed, shoved
and climbed their way to the stage. Alcohol and drug use
may have contributed to the chaos, but Blue Scholars was
equally as intoxicating. Their politically motivated and intel­
lectually stimulating rhymes are tied together by an eclectic
sound chat draws-on reggae, Latin and jazz rhythms.
Both the Blue Scholars and Legal Lies hail from Seattle
and are often recognized for their politically and socially crit­
ical lyrics. Blue Scholars in particular is considered co have
revolutionized hip hop in the Pacific Northwest, and are The success of the Blue Scholars and Legal Lies show will
have boded well for LCMC's new scare chis semester if the
budgeting issues do not overshadow their subsequent plan­
ning.

Symposium. in.vestigates,
'What's the use of poetry?'
by Stephanie Beechem II editor-in-chief and Tracy Peel II staff writer
"What's the Use of Poetry," Lewis &
Clark College's Poetry Symposium, kicks off
this Saturday afternoon in Smith Hall with
a critical lecture by Marjorie Perloff, emeri­
tus professor of English at Stanford Univer­
sity and one of the most well-known poetry
critics and scholars writing in English today.
Her speech, entided "Unoriginal Genius: A
Genealogy," will explore the poetics of con­
temporary language poets Joan Recallack and
Lyn Hejinian, who wi!J also participate in the
symposium. Both will give 35-minute read­
ings from their own wprk following Perloffs
lecture; afterwards, all three will participate
in a panel discussion, reception, and book
signing.
The symposium itself is the product of
a collaboration between the Lewis & Clark
English department, the Provost's office, the
undergraduate Dean's office and President's
office, together with Doug Erickson and
Paul Merchant from War-1.ek Library, who
co-wrote a grant lase year with English fac­
ulty to support the symposium speakers. Af­
ter several rejections, the grant finally found
a sponsor in the Milwaukie, Oregon-based
Kinsman Foundation, who co-sponsored the
symposium.
"So rarely do we have experience of lis­
tening to poets and critics together," Assis­
tant Professor of English Mary Szybist said.
Despite the closeness of their work, Szybist
said, there is often a "strange isolation" be­
tween poets and critics, which che sympo­
sium hopes ro address.
9/~iyr.le ~~on, ... "Both Hejinian and Retallack are very se­
rious about blurring those boundaries ... and
about re-imagining poetry and its possibili­
ties," Szybist said.
The broad concept behind che sympo­
sium is the question of the "use" of poetry
in the complex modem age, with an em­
phasis on the "radical artifice" of contem­
porary poetries. Perloff is an ;pc pick for a
study of "artifice," as an avid critic of mod­
em and contemporary poetics, modern ar­
tifice and experimental avant-garde verse.
Perloff has written volumes on W.B. Years,
Frank O'Hara, and Ezra Pound, in addition
co Radical Ar#fice: Writing Poetry in the Age
of Media; 7he Futurist Moment: Avant-Garde,
Avant-Guerre, and the Language of Rupture;
Wittgenstein's Ladder: Poetic Language and the
Strangeness of the Ordinary; and 21st-century
Modernism: the New Poetics.
Hejinian's most recent works include A
Border Comedy, lhe Beginner and lhe Fatal­
ist. In addition to writing experimental poet­
ry, Hejinian aJso works in the fields of mixed
media and documentary filmmaking. Recal­
lack, who also experiments in multi-genre
work, is the author of Musicage: John Cage
in Conversation with Joan Reta/lack and won
cbe Columbia Book Award for her book of
poetry entitled Errata 5uite.
Marjorie Perloff's "Unoriginal Genius"
will begin the symposium at I :00 p.m. at
Smith Hall tomorrow afternoon. For more

David Shratter, Assistant Supervisor of Circulation at Watzek,
displays those aspects of Portland that should be preserved.
by Cameron Zachreson II staff writer
As times change and the American
economy shifts, our memories of settings
we grew up in relate Jess and less to the
current realiry. Those who benefit from
the reshaping of the world call ic prog­
ress. We who appreciate the character of
the buildings and scenes that define our
lives are saddened when change comes in
the way of the feelings that define a place.
Bue we know char ic is the dynamic nature
of the world to take these things away, so
what can we do?
David Shratcer, painter (and Assis­
tant Supervisor of Circulation at Watzek
Library), is doing all he can co preserve
the memory of the places that character­
ize the city in which we live. His series,
Portland Streetscape (oil on canvas), em­
bodies the cbaracceristic derails that are
quickly disappearing from our beloved
town. ''In 2003 the gallery exhibiting my

and have their own opinions about the

Comments on his art by passers-by

co drunken demands for portraiture (at­
tempted payment occasionally made in
romantic advance). One man tried to gee
Shratcer co enter a bet in an attempt to
raise money for an "eye wash" followed
immediately by the man's exhibition of
his glass eye (and socket).
While the paintings themselves are of
sUghrer stature and rely on small derails
not intriguing from a distance, they share
these qualities with their subjects and
therefore portray them with an accuracy
rarely encountered in contemporary art.

The project turned our ro be an in­
credible experience in itself The next rwo
years saw Shratter spending his mornings
on street corners of Old Town, China­
town and in the SE Tndusrrial Districcs,
with his easel and brushes, rendering the
buildings and atmosphere on canvas.
"I had worked oucside before bur
always in the country," said Sh.ratter.
"Painting on the city streets has complica­
tions of its own."
And these complications usually in­
volve the locals. We have co remember us of the impor­
tance of the details that we rake for grant­
ed in life; they de.fine a fleeting moment
in history char will never be replaced.
The paintings will outlive their sub­
jects by many decades and one day will be
aJI char is left co remember our ciry by. We
should all try to follow Sh ratter's example
co appreciate and preserve the defining
qualities of the setcings that we grew up
in because we will miss them when they
are gone.

Women's basketball on a roll into the weekend
by Camron Roberts II staff writer
Coming off cwo impressive victories over
the Lin.field Wildcats and Pacific Boxers, che
Pioneer women traveled co Tacoma co face
che Pacific Lutheran Lutes this past weekend.
Heading into the game with a 5-4 record and
in the middle of a playoff race, the Pios knew
this was a game they needed ro win. In their
previous match up against the Lures, rhe Pios
held on for a three point viccory in overtime.
This game, however, proved co be a much
different scory for the Pioneer women.
The Pacific Lutheran Lutes, playing on
cbeir borne court, jumped ouc co an early Each of these three times, the Pios im­
mediately answered sending the lead back ro
double digits.
With nine minutes remaining, the game
was decisively pur out of reach when the Pios
scored 14 straight points while also holding
the Lures scoreless for eight minutes. They
only allowed one field goal in rhe final 9:30
of the game.
Castle scored 23 points with l 0 rebounds,
her second-straight game posting a double­
double. Farr scored in double-digits for the
sixth straight game, scoring 11 points while
nabbing 8 rebounds. Sophomore point guard

ro 17-10. With the score 17-14 in
favor of the Pios, the Lures came a.~ close as
they would be for the rest of the game witb
just over 13 minutes left ro play in the 6rsc
half.
These final minutes were dominated of­
fensively and defensively by the Pioneer
women as they went on a 24-13 run to fin­
ish off the half. The Pios cook a 41-27 lead
imo the half with chem. The second half read
much the same for the Pioneer women as
tbeir lead was only cut ro single digits three
times by the Lutes. Kim Kicce!J (' 10) filled up the scat sheets with
18 points, eight assists, four steals and four
rebounds in a very impressive game.
The outstanding effort and tenacious de­
fense the Pios have displayed lately has been
instrumental. to their current three game
winning streak.
"You have co wane every single possession
and you have to wane it more than the other
team because it's desperation time," said Kit­
tell.
Another key aspect co the Pios three game
winning streak has been improved defensive rebounding. Says senior
forward Castle, "We are
doing a berter job of nor
allowing the teams to get
easy looks and making
sure they only get one
shoe every trip down the
floor."
This viccory improves
tl1e Pioneers to I 0-9 (6-4
NWC), where they re­
main in a three -way tie
for the third and the last
conference' playoff spot.
The two teams they are
tied with, Whitworth and
Whitman, come to Pam­
plin Spores Center this
coming weekend in what
could be the most impor­
tant games of the year
for the Pioneer women.
For Kine!J, this is perfect
timing: "Now more than

The Lutes set numer­

Dressler, in the opening minutes
of the game. The Pios were slow
off the screens, and the Lures hit
almost every shot they put up,
shooting 47% from long range
in the firsr half. The Pios, mean­
while, struggled to make a rhree,
making only four of the 19 they
put up. They found themselves

inside and whittled che Lute lead down
ro five with a minute left in rhe ha!£ Bur
the Lures answered back with two threes
of ~heir own to rake a 38-27 lead into rhe
locker room at the half.
The first few minutes of the second half
were crucial, as rhe Pios didn't want to al­
low the Lures to put the game out of reach.
They succeeded at this, but were unable
ro puc rogecher any type of run, and sciII
found themselves down 15 with 13 11\in­
utes left in the game. Then the shots start­
ed to fall for the Pios and they did a better
job of corning of screens to keep Dressler
from getting the ball.
A David Berggren ('09) three from
deep began the Pioneer run, during which
the Pios were able to do what they hadi:i't
beeri able to all night; move the ball and
penetrate the Lute defense. Bur the Lutes
coorir\ued to answer and rhe bounces con­
tinued to go the way of the Lutes. Even­
tually, che Lutes and Pios started to trade
baskets until a Mark Robinowitz COB)
three made it a one poinc game with just
over three minutes left. But again, the
Lures kept their composure and managed
to bump their lead back up to six with a
minute remaining.
The last minute saw ;i. flurry of fquls, as
rhe Pios crawled back co within two after a
missed Lute free throw and a layup by Joey again, and the Lutes once again made both
free throws to make it a three poinr game
again. The Pios rushed the ball back down
the floor and Robinowirz cried to throw
up a three with seven second$ left but was
fouled. The Pios best free throw shooter
went to the line with a chance to tie the
game with three free throws. He did ex­
actly this, completing a miraculous Pio
comeback., and tying the game ar 76. But
the Lutes still had 8 seconds ro worl$. with,
and much like the final play of regulation
against Pugec Sound, the Pios failed to stop
Dressler as he drove down the coun. He
pulJed up near the free throw line, and af­
ter a second of hesitation, found a driving
Kyle McTaggart, who dropped in a layup
over the outsrrecched arms of the leading
shot blocker in the NWC, Gene Rivera

The loss hurts for rhe Pios, who fall
down to sixth place in the NWC. There are
three reams in front of them (all 6~4) who
have the upper hand in trying to nab the
third spot in the NWC. At this potm, the

Women's ultimate gives
life to club sports title
by Daniel Cochran II sports editor
Not much attention is given to club sports
at Lewis & Clark. With a long held reputa­
tion of being the refuge for slacker athletes,
not much money is given to chem, either.
On LC's Athletics webpage, the club sports
link is buried near the bottom of the page,
forwarding you to an archaic sire that time
has long since forgolten.
There now exiscs a large percentage of
students, however, who have taken co club
spans, drawn in by their medium level of
commitment yet high level of entertainment.
1be Women's Ulrimace team is a perfect ex­
ample. Practicing just twice a week, the ream
travels rhe West Coasr playing reams from
around rhe counrry. This weekend, rhey will
join the men's team i,n traveling co Las Vegas
for a tournament with 120 combined men's
and women's reams.
"We also go ro Stanford, lacoma, Chico,
Seattle, Eugene, \Valla Walla, and sectional
and regional playoffs are in different locations
each year," said ream Captain Stephanie Sex­
ton ('08). Artemis, rhe team name after rhe
virgi1i goJ<less, was formed in 2004 by Haley McNabb ('06). The ream has since made re­
gional playoffs rwice, narrowly missing their
spor last year.
Artemis boasrs a roster of roughly 25
ladies, a size char would make several var­
sity sports envious. Experience ranges from
high-school ro newcomers, and the coach­
ing is mostly done by rhe players themselves,
although rhey also receive help from Port­
land locals. "We have some of che best ulti­
mate players run clinics for us. Anna Neraas
and Tracey Sacterfield, who are members of
Portland's women's team, came in 5th at the
Women's Nationals in 2004.," said co-Cap­
tain Kelsey Colpins ('10).
On Monday and Wednesday nights, the
ream bears the cold remperarures for a full
rwo hours at Griswold Sradium. Even with­
out an official coach, rhe practice is orga­
nized, as rhe players run drills, condition,
and scrimmage until the lights fade or the
lacrosse teams move in. Sexton and Colpits
are hoping chis organizarion pays off as che
season kicks off chis weekend in Vegas.
Says Sexton, "l f the team keeps progress­
ing the wa)' ir has chis year, nationals will
nor be far our of sighc."
Super bad: New England
fumbles end to perfect run
by Sarah DiSabatino II editor-in-chief
New England is no stranger to crushing
losses at che last minute. It was coo good for
us, New England sports fans. In October, the
Red Sox won the World Series. The Patriots
were 7-0 and sec to be unchallenged for the
rest of che season. Even the down and out
Celtics boosted their roster by landing Ray
Allen and Kevin Garnett.
The perpecually disappointed region that
craved che glory of the old days suddenly
found itself at the rop of the game--every
game. Of course, it was coo good co lasr.
Leading up ro February 3, New England diz­
zied itself with drunken delirium over che
perfect Patriots. And in Superbowl X.Ul, just
when rhey seemed co have it all, they fell.
l.n Superbowl XLII, the Patriots seemed
to rake a page from the old Red Sox throw­
away-the-win playbook. After Tom Brady
connected with Randy Moss for the go­
ahead touchdown with over two minutes left
to play, the game seemed to be wrapped up.
The Parriors seemed co have secured their
coveted 19-0 season. The 1972 Dolphins­
the only other team to have a perfect sea­
son-were all but ready pack away rheir smugness. Bue rhe Giants stormed down
the field and sunk New England's hopes ar
perfection with MVP Eli Manning's 13-yard
lob, avoiding the sack, co Plaxico Burress in
the end zone with 35 seconds co play. The
Patriot's record-breaking season ended in a
heart-breaking loss. Now Boston is without
its legend. Now that they broke che curse,
the Red Sox are arguably just another good
ream with money and a lot of hisrory. No
more is the stigma of past pain and humilia­
tion co overcome, pricking our anriciparion
for a miraculous defeat of the supernarural as
they head into the bottom of rhe ninth in­
ning, bases-loaded, rwo our and the season
on the line.
Sure it would be a good game, but it
would nor have the same magic of chose
pre-2004 games. Every year, we would say,
this is the year, and every year we would get
our hopes up only ro have them mercilessly
crushed. ft was like running on hot coals: it
hurt like hell but we would always be there at
the from of the line to try again.
This year, the Patriots have done just
that. They got my hopes up, my chest puffed
our, and when they got knocked our, I got
knocked out. _t_h_e_P_i_on_e_e_r_L_o_g_,_F_e_b_ru_ary....,_s_,_2_o_o_s _________ ... §•f.i•€-llllllllll .... ___________________ l_8_
Memo to Gaillard: Time to fix what's broken
Pick the name rhar doesn't belong: John Wooden, Bob
Knight, Mike Knyzewski, Mike Montgomery, Bob Gail­
lard. Gaillard, right? Wrong. Once upon a rime, Lewis &
Clark Men's Basketball Coach Bob Gaillard was a big deal.
As the coach of che 1977 Bill Carrwright-led University of
San Francisco Dons, Gaillard piloted his team to a 29-2 re­
cord and was voted the United Press Inrernational Coach of
the Year. Other winners of rhe same award include the coach­
es above with the exception of Montgomery, whose 30-0
start as the coach of the Scan ford Cardinal couldn't earn him
such recognirion. Regardless of who has been honored with
awards and who hasn't, it would be very safe co bet chat even
Bristol's finest would list Wooden, Knight, Krzyzewski and
Montgomery among rhe nation's elite coaches of rhc last 50
years -Far before Gaillard's name would even fire a synapse
in their brain.
While char does nor discredir rhe exceptional season Gail­
lard puc together back in the days of Roots, fleetwood Mac
and Jim my Carter, rhe problem is rhac ir was indeed that long
ago. For thar reason, ESPN analysts would have co engage in
a lengthy round of Kfog's Kup's "Categories" before finally
srumping their opponent wirh rhe name Bob Gaillard.
Since 1989, Gaillard has been the head roach of the fairly
successful LC men's basketball ream. Last year, rh-e Pioneers
went undefeated at home. After making such a strong stare-by Jacob Bourne II guest writer
menr in league play, the Pios were picked before che season
scarred this year as rhe fuvorite of the North West Confer­
ence. However, 10 games into the league season this year,
rhe Pio men have posted an average 5-5 record. Having nor
graduated any seniors last May, the question arises: What is
so different rhis rime around? I believe l know the answer. I
do not have an extensive coaching background to build my
credibility, burl do have rwo intramural basketball champion
r-shircs and two decades of baskecballogy under my belr. .. if
rhac means anything.
Some of the Pioneers on-court issues can be broken down
into two categories: oA-ense and personnel. Offensively che
problem is rhat, well. .. there is no offense. In realiry, the Pios
attempt co run rwo basic offenses, "spread" and "motion."
Neither one is gerring che job done, though. Spread purs rhe
shooters on the corners while rwo slashers are on rhe wings,
awaiting screens. Who sets che screen and when they are sec
are not exactly clear. Morion offense has no set rules. The
basic principle of a morion offense is that there should be
constant movement: cuts, screens, ere. Unfortunately, che
way motion bas been executed in Pamplin chis year has re­
sulted in something char looks nearly opposite of whar its
name connotes. The same is true of the spread offense. Like
motion, it has appeared sluggish chis year.
Ir rakes a ream with a very high basketball [Q to execute
an offense without rules. Because of
rhis, the majority of reams have a set
offense with guidelines set out for each
position player. Employment of such
an offense does nor suggest char a ream
is bad or needs guidance; ir just means
that che pieces which create rhe whole
aren't fit for a motion offense. Evidence
has shown chat this years Pioneers are
one of chose reams. For example, in the
men's February 2nd game against Pacif­
ic Lutheran, the Pioneers made a steady
second half comeback against the Lutes
until the score read 76-73 wirh about
20 seconds remaining. Lewis & Clark
needed a three or a quick two co stay in
the game. The plan was to ger the baJI
to Mark Robinowirz ('08), the team's
most consiscenr shooter, for the game
ryiog three.
PHOTO BY JACOB BOURNE
Tillery has been an offensive force throughout the season, but The Lures sruck hard to Rabinowitz
who stood in the stagnant offense un­
til finally getting the ball and releasjng
a highly contested shot with eight sec­
onds remaining. A forcun·ace foul call
from the officials landed Robinowirz
on the free throw line where he tied the
game. The problem here is char neither
spread nor motion are efficienr enough
co produce a quality shoe opporruniry
in crucial siruations. Luckily, Robin­
owirz is a grade-A Hopper and has the
ability to gee a foul call when he really
needs it. It is uninrelJigenr to rely on a
player's ability to draw fouls when you
can't even be sure he's going to get the
ball in his hands in the first place. The
solution to this problem is the utiliza­
tion of more set plays and a clear cut his talents would be put to better use at small forward. offensive sec.
More complicated than the offense are the issues concern­
ing personnel. GailJard's subbing patterns chis year have been
erratic and have kept his players guessing. Just rwo weeks ago
Gaillard had a starring unir of five players and a secondary
unir of five players that would all go in with their respective
line. After several games of experimentation, he ditched char
strategy for a more conventional 8-9 man rotation. This ap-
Offensively the problem is that,
well ... there is no offense.
proach is fine, bur the problem is consistency. Jf the players
have no idea what is coming, a ream idenriry will never be
established, and cohesion will never exist.
There is also a problem with che discribucion of playing
time on the ream. ln reality, there are qualiry players on the
roster to fill every spot on the floor. Coach Gaillard seems set
on running an unconventional sryle though. Thomas Tillery
('08), an unconvenrional point guard, has been playing con­
sistent point guard minutes since his freshman year. He has a
shoor first mentality, and looks co discribuce only when rak­
ing his own shoe is not an option. This is not a bad qualiry.
In fact, it is perfccr ... for a shooting guard or small forward.
Meanwhile, Nick Thierry ('08) is the epitome of a pure point
guard. Thierry's court vision and disrriburing abiliry evoke
memories of a mid 90's Avery Johnson (on a D-3 court). He
is a 8oor general and he is efficient. Critics may say he hasn't
proven his abiliry to shoot the ball. Thar may have something
to do with the coach's tendency to put him right back on the
bench should he miss.
The perfect one-rwo-three punch would be Thierry ar the
point with Robinowirz and Tillery ar the shooting guard and
small forward. The small forward position doesn't require
outstanding jump-shooting ability, but does require quick­
ness, athleticism and crafty moves inside of the three-point
line, ail qualities char Tillery possesses. This combination has
actually proven successful. With Tillery and Thierry playing
concurrenrly, they were able to build a quick double digit
lead on league leading Puget Sound, and also collaborated in
the comeback effort against PLU.
Ir is very important co recognize how talented chis team
is. Aside from the proven talent, there is amazing potenrial
sirring on the bench. Larry Johnson ('08) is an athletic freak
but has seemingly been ignored since he proved unready to
play heavy minutes as a freshman. Two weeks of personal
attention could sky rocker Johnson's skills and confidence.
However, Gaillard and his staff have decided that ignoring
Johnson until his senior year when they may finally have to
address the ralent they potentially have on their hands is the
best option. Confidence building extends co games as well.
Maybe if players heard more our of the coaches' mouths than
"Sprint!" and "What are you doing?" followed by a grimace
every rime the other team scores, it would foster an environ­
ment in which ream mentality flourishes.
The poinr is, this coaching strategy is nor working. Coach
G, you are talented. You have had success and have been
honored with the same award as the all rime greats. But Bill
Carrwrighr is nor on the court anymore. In fact, he has been
hired and fired from his own professional coaching job. So
please, rake a look at that play book, maybe a glance down
your bench, gather the troops, and join us in 2008. ♦
