Naked Milers attract attention New turbine to heat
by Craig Beebe
Despite a drizzly day, 16 stu
dents showed up to run, skip,
and even bike the Naked Mile
last Sunday, Apr. 18, continuing
a Lewis &: Clark College tradition
that aims to "smash the stereo
types and make people smile," in
the words of informal organizer
Julie Engle('06).
Many of this year's runners
were decorated with body paint.
Many participants sported a rain
bow look, but Engle, who led the
run with the assistance of a large
megaphone, said that "some of
us purists remained unadorned."
The annual Naked Mile is a
well-known tradition on cam
pus, and each year provides an
interesting diversion to students
who are normally hard at work
preparing for end of semester
finals. The highlight of the run,
Engle noted, is the stop by the
library, where she said the run
ners hoped "to give the studious
a 30-second break and perhaps a
smile."
Some questions have been
raised about the timing of the
Naked Mile this year, however.
The event took place during Pro
spective Student Weekend, with
many admitted students who
are conSidering coming to LC on
campus.
Runner Marianna Wiles('06) said she had
thought the run
had something to
do with prospec
tive students, re
calling that she had
been specifically
asked about it by
campus visitors in
the past. She said

spective students "could go ei
ther way" based on what they
saw, though she said it would be
hard to predict how the Naked
Mile might influence individual
students.
Admissions did not return
a request for comment on the
subject.
Ultimately , Naked Milers were
pleased at how smoothly the run
went. "It was a more celebra
tory run this year," Wiles said.

On the twentieth day of the
fourth month at approximately
4:20pm, students rallied together
to celebrate the stoner's national
holiday underneath the fluttering
red, white, and blue of our na
tion's flag on lower campus with
bowls, pipes, and, of course, the
traditional 11-gram blunt.
Campus Safety Officer Ar

the festivities . Students said he

On Apr. 22, Lewis &: Clark
College celebrated Earth Day
with the dedication of a 30-
kilowatt Capstone microturbine
fueled by natural gas that will
furnish electricity and heating
for the Zehntbauer Swimming
Pavilion.
On the roof adjacent to the
Swimming Pavilion, a small
power plant runs 24 hours a
day to help provide power to
the building and heat the pool.
Richard Bettega, Associate Vice
President for Facilities, said this
micro turbine will work by using
natural gas to fuel the microtur
bine, redUcing oxide emissions
of carbon and nitrogen and other
by-products of fossil fuels.
Janice Carter, Administrative
Facilities Coordinator , reported
that the turbine took two months
to install, at an overall cost of
$114,000 . The College paid
only $39,000 because of grants
and other incentives, including
tax credits from Oregon Energy
Trust and the Oregon Office of
Energy.
Chris Galati, Northwest
Natural's Director of Conserva
tion and Technology, reported
whether or not to light up." De
spite the presence of Campus
Safety, students proudly reported
that they "smoked at 4:20 any-
way."
"Before Campus Safety ar
rived," reported one female pot
connoisseur, "the scene was
sublime. Groups of stoners pour
ing out of the woodwork and
swarming towards the flagpole as
the hour approached." Estimates
on the number of students in
volved ranged from 50 to 80.
In response to the mass of
smokers, Nishidi reportedly told
the group to "take it off campus."
Initially, the group refused and
"lit up" as the clocks landed on
twenty past four. However, when that these devices are drawing
national attention due to their
energy-saving possibilities . Mi
croturbines have "the ability to
generate electriCity from fuels
on-site rather than rely solely on
the power grid for a facility:S en
ergy needs," he said.
Many other operators of pub
lic and" private pools in Portland
are hoping to imitate LC by in
stalling similar systems at their
facilities.
The College is trying to mini
mize its impact on the environ
ment by abiding by sustainable
bUilding p'ractices that incor
porate energy-efficient deSigns
when constructing and renovat
ing buildings . These practices
were applied to the new Howard
Hall, which will be completed by
next fall.
This summer, the College
plans to complete other energy
saving and effiCiency projects.
Some of these projects include
replacing the Pamplin high bay
lights and office and hallway
lights with more energy-efficient
bulbs. The College also plans to
replace the boilers in Forest and
Platt halls and the interior light
ing in Forest halls with more en
ergy-efficient equipment. EDITORS-IN-CHIEF: JOE CLOCK

WHAT RIDICULOUS THING DID YOUR PRO

REALLY MATTER, BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST
ISSUE. THANKS FOR THE SUMBISSION SCOTT! by Josh Silverman
Since the Norwalk virus struck
campus on Apr. 2, the Bon Ap
petit staff has taken aggressive
measures to halt the spread of the
illness. These measures have led
to minor inconveni ences in Fields
Dinning Hall, and quite a bit of
student grumbling .
Upon entry, students are no
longer allowed to pick up their
own trays or silverware. In ad
dition, all whole fruits, breads,
desserts, and soups have been
placed behind serving lines and
ice cream bars have replaced
self-serve ice cream. The new
measures were implemented to
control possible contamination
by infected students.
The length of time it takes to
be served is the most common
complaint. Frequent congestion
occurs in the initial line into
Fields Dining hall as well as in the
Comfort Food line during dinner.
"It's a pain in the a**," Suzi
Flory('06) said, echoing the com-

ard resident reported. "It was the
biggest one I have ever seen."
The blunt was said to take ap
proximately 45 minutes to smoke
among 16 people.
During the session, Campus
Safety did not interfere. When
questioned about the incident at
the flagpole, Officer Benny Yanez
reported, "We heard that there
was a group of students down by
the flagpole so we sent one of our
officers down. The students said
they were going to smoke regard
less. Our officer asked them to
leave and they did. There was re
ally no incident."
For both students and Cam
pus Safety, 4/20 occurred without
the antagonism that all too often
characterizes the interactions be
tween stoners and Campo. This
year, Apr. 20 was not only a day
of camaraderie for stoners, but it
was also a day of progress in the
dynamics between students and
Campus Safety.
2 the Pioneer Log, April 23, 2004 plaints of a large percentage of
LC students. "It has Significantly
changed my eating habits. I end
up eating mostly fruits and veg
etables because I don't want to
wait in line."
The Bon Appetit Staff has been
receptive to student complaints.
The separate pizza line and the
placement of desserts by the en
tryway are changes that have gar
nered student praise.
Yet despite these inconve
niences, many students feel that
such policy changes are neces
sary. Annie Goodsill('06) felt
that the Bon Appetit staff was
handling the situation profeSSion
ally and responsibly. "It's a bad
situation, but I don't know what
I would have done differently,"
she said.
Many students, however,
questioned the effectiveness of
these new regulations . "The fact
that I can't pick up my own fork
because I might contaminate it
with a virus no one has seen for
a week and a half is ridiculous,"
Mitch LeVay('07) said. Kihra So
rensen('07) stated that she would
rather risk getting sick than deal
with the extravagant precautions.
Kelly Meyer('06) commented on the decrease in the variation
of food types offered, but did
note that she enjoyed the new
ice cream bars, despite the loss
of "Sunday Sundaes ." In fact, the
introduction of the bars has been
by far the most popular change in
Bon Appetit policy.
"I really do enjoy those new ice
cream bars," Erich England('07)
said. "They make it a lot easier for
me to supplement Bon food with
ice cream. I eat two every day, at
least."

"I think it was less about shock
value, and more about fun," she
added, pointing out that the body
paint and the Spontaneou s Com
bustion celebration contributed a
lot to the event.
Organizers were grateful to
those who ran. "I want to give a
big 'thank you' to all the runners
for cracking the mold our culture
has forced the body into," said
Engle .

Goodbyes from departing Pioneer Log editors
by Joe Clock, Editor-in-Chief
You probably don't know
me, but for the past four years,
I've put the newspaper in your
mailbox, faithfully read SAAB
Scoop, and written news stories
of all varieties, including the bor
ing ones that nobody else wanted
to write.
I've worked for the Pioneer Log
since the first issue of my fresh
man year. I spent my first three
years at Lewis &: Clark as the edi
tor of the news. section, and for
the past year I've shared the posi
tion of Editor-in-Chief with Beka
Feathers.
I've learned a lot from the pa
per, both about journalism and
about LC. I've matched faces
and personalities to all the names
in those campUS-wide e-mails
you delete without reading, and
the paper has kept me up to date
with what is going on all around
campus.
I've been part of a wide variety
of arguments, scandals, and dis
putes involving the Pioneer Log,
and, although I still can't predict
what will piss someone off and
what won't, I have learned a lot
about when that anger is justi
fied, and when it is just a little
ridiculous. Usually the anger is
a little of both.
I've also learned, however, Joe Clock, the Pioneer Log
Editor-in-Chief, has worked
for the paper for the past four
years in various capacities.
that sometimes angry responses
to the paper are a sign that we are
doing the right thing, covering
issues that people care about and
attracting readers.
My most important goal in
working for the Pioneer Log has
been to make the paper more
appealing to students and to
draw more readers. I have tried
to encourage the paper to focus
on stories that are important to
the largest possible number of
students.
As anyone involved in student
groups knows, students at LC
are largely apathetiC to student
government and student groups.
Over the past year, the Pioneer
Log has tried to look outside of
Templeton to find news that af-My most important

fects the campus communi ty as
a whole.
In the four years that I have
worked for the Pioneer Log, I have
worked with a wide variety of
people, and to some extent the
paper has reflected the ideas and
personalities of each of them. The
Pioneer Log is always looking for
new people, so if you want to see
your ideas in the paper, come to a
Monday meeting. The paper is on
a good track going into next year.
This is my last issue on the Pio
neer Log. I don't have any grand
plans for the future, at least none
that are solid enough to put in the
newspaper. I may continue to
work in journalism, or I may not.
Either way, the Pioneer Log and
your reactions to it have given me
some experiences that will stay
with me.
It's been nice telling you whats
going on for the past four years. by John Koehn, Forum Editor
It's hard to say goodbye to the
ones you love, which is why writ
ing this letter couldn't possibly
be easier. These past four years
have gone by fast. It seems like
just yesterday that I was shaking
my head in disbelief at the semi
coherent ramblings of trust-fund
hippies. Actually, that was yester
day -but you get my point.
To the many of you that I have
offended over the years: Get over
it. Nobody cares. Nobody. Not
even your mom. Why? Because
this isn't the real world. This is
the most sheltered experience
you will ever have. You should
feel lucky that you have the time
to sit around and bitch about the
drivel you read in this paper.
Here's a news flash for all of the
"open minded" liberals who think
they are going to work for the UN
when they graduate and change
the world: you are not. You are
not open-minded and you will
most likely work for a shitty
North-Portland cafe serving cof
fee refills to haggard mid-level of
fice workers, who you will be in
ten years, if you're lucky.
So congratulations, you now
possess a $120,000 education
(plus opportunity costs). Now
what are you going to do? I'll give
you a hint: you're going to work for the man. That's right, the
man. The one and only.
Maybe mommy and daddy will
let you suck away their money for
another few years, but soon they
will get wise and cut the umbilical
cord. And when you're working
that shitty job wondering why the
UN never returns your e-mails;
when you start to bitch about the
taxes that come out of your pay
check each week, thats when you
will know that you are in "the real
world." Its only a matter of time
before you vote Republican.
To all the RAs out there: its go
ing to be tough for you to transi
tion to the real world too. It will
take a few months to get down
from your power trip. A few
more months for the Jon Eldridge
dreams to go away, and the better
part of a year before you will stop
being a jackass. Remember that
in the real world, when someone
pisses you off, writing them up
will have no effect.
Goodbye LC hippies. I am
sure that I will see some of you
again when I stop by for a cup of
coffee, unless you're off protesting
something that day.
I now leave you with my favor
ite joke, as it is apropos for many
of you: how many protestors does
it take to change a lightbulb? An
swer: zero, because protestors
never change anything.
Student loans may no longer be at fixed rates
by Dave Muller
As graduation nears, most se
niors see a dark cloud in the oth
erwise clear horizon (cue scary
music): student loans. After a six
to nine month grace period, the
monthly payments commence,
and the longer the plan one
chooses, the more interest slhe
will be forced to pay.
The good news is that gradu
ates are able to consolidate their
loans and secure fixed interest
rates over the course of repay
ment. When market rates rise,
the federal government makes
up the difference in graduates'
payments to ensure lenders'
profits.
The bad news is this govern
ment subsidiza tion may soon be a thing of the past, as the total
bill exceeded $2 billion in 2003.
Democrats in the House of Repre
sentatives have proposed legisla
tion to replace the fixed rates with
variable rates that would fluctuate
with the ebb and flow of the mar
ket. House Republicans are likely
to introduce similar legislation .
Such changes would increase
graduates' total payments by sev
eral thousand dollars over the
course of 10-15 year plans.
Greg Winter of the New York
Times writes, "Critics of the cur
rent program argue that its chief
beneficiaries are working adults,
capable of taking on the respon
sibility of paying back their loans,
higher rates and all. Instead of
subSidizing them by offering fixed
rates, critics say, the government Student loan repay
ment is becoming
more of a burden,
even with fixed in
terest rates:
should be spending its money
on people who are still students,
struggling either to start or stay in
college."
The most vocal supporters of
the current program are the lend
ing organizations who fear more
graduates would default on pay
ments if their interest rates rose,
along with debt-burdened college
graduates. Despite the fact that I
will soon be burdened with loan

here for good. I'm so glad this is the last stupid
comic we'll ever have to read. payments myself, I support these
proposed changes. ProViding
lower-income people with the
chance to receive a college edu
cation should be a higher federal
priority than protecting lenders
and graduates who already have
• their degree in the bag.
A college diploma certainly
widens the employment options
for graduates, and taking a fuller
responsibility for one's debt does
not seem unjust. On the other
hand, we see the job market
shrinking and incomes stagnat
ing. Student loan repayment is
becoming more of a burden, even
with fixed interest rates. Can
graduates handle lOSing a larger
chunk of their paychecks each
month to higher interest rates?
This is not a black and white question. While many will con
tinue to make their payments
with ease, others will inevitably be
pushed to the brink of economic
disaster, if not right over the edge.
The threats to college graduates,
however, as well as to lending
organizations, are outweighed by
the threat of severely limited em
ployment options to the bulk of
the American population.
Graduates should make some
sacrifices, especially those of us
who were fortunate enough to at
tend an expensive private school
like LC, in order to open the edu
cational possibilities for Ameri
cans who cannot even afford in
state tuition at public universities.

Faculty Profile:
Greta Binford
by Janet Freerks
As if Keller Autumn 's geckos weren't
enough.
Greta Binford, an assistant profes
sor of Biology, is the recent recipient of
a two-year grant for $47,000 from the
M.]. Murdock Charitable Trust to study
patterns of "diversity in spider venom
and diver
sity in how
they kill
their prey,"
she said.
Binford
has been
interested
in spiders
since her
under
graduate
education
at Univer
sity of Mi
ami-Ohio,
she said.
There, she
knew she
was inter-
ested in Biology, but wasn't completely
sure what she wanted to do after com
pleting her education . A Biology pro
fessor at the university offered Binford
the opportunity to apply for a research
trip to Peru, and she was chosen for the
position. "Research was really fun," Bin
ford said.
Binford continues her work with the
same enthusiasm today, and said the
grant will help her better understand
her beloved creature. She explained
that spiders are unique creatures . There
are 38,000 species of spider, all of which
have venom. Spider venom is very
unique on a chemical level because of its
complexity; it is made up of anywhere
between 50 to 200 different chemicals,
and the chemical m~keup varies across
species. Although most venom doesn't
affect human beings, the venom of the
brown recluse spider that Binford plans
to focus on does. There is an "enzyme in [brown recluse] venom that causes
damage to human skin," Binford ex
plained.
Through her research, Binford
hopes to understand the "patterns of
diversity in venom chemistry as a func
tion of diversity in feeding behavior,"
she said.
"This grant is money to reconstru ct
evolu
tionary
relation
ships of

genus,"
she said.
Professor
Binford
hopes
that the
informa
tion that
she gath
ers will
be used
in order
to ana-
IMAGECOURTES YWWW.LCLAR K.EDU lyze the
patterns of variation among species in
that group. This information will help
scientists' understanding of the varia
tions in venom, which will help in the
treatment of spider bites.
Binford won't be at her work alone;
she has the opportunity to hire three
students to help with research. The
students will occaSionally change.
This summer Binford will be helped by
Lewis &: Clark students Melissa Bod
ner('04), Kate Baldwin('04) , and Chris
Ellison('05) . Both Baldwin and Ellison
will be funded by the M.]. Murdock
Charitabl e Trust grant.
The grant she has received will also
fund a research trip for Binford and
two students to Argentina to collect
specimens in the fall. Binford plans
to continue research full-time through
the summer. In the fall, she will teach
classes and work on her research in her

Leer to join police Naked Photo of the Week
by Craig Beebe
Anthony Larson('04) wants to
make a difference in his commu
nity. That is why the Psychology
major has chosen a career work
ing with the Portland Police, cap
ping his participation in a schol
arship and training program, the
Oregon Police Corps. ''I'm look
ing forward to the opportunit y to
make a difference in someone's
life every day," Larson said.
Larson is aware this is a diffi
cult time for police officers in the
Rose City. A recent shooting of an
unarmed suspect during a routine
traffic stop in North Portland has
only increased tensions between
the department and residents,
especially minorities . While that
case is still under review, Larson
said it has had negative effects on
relations between the people of
the city and those whose mission
is to protect them: "Its unfortu
nate the way things are going."
Even without the recent trou
bles for department , Larson said
it is hard being ~ police officer
or aspiring police officer these
days. "It's not something I really
shared [with other students],"
Larson said, noting the mixed re
actions he got when he did. Some
students were very supportive,
but others seemed distrustful
of Larson because of his career
goals. He thinks this distrust is
indicative of the current situa
tion with the police in Portland.
"It's a product of the relationship
with office rs and the community,"
Larson said. "I can understand
where [those who do not trust the
police] are coming from."
Things haven't always been
this way, Larson said. Raised in
Southeast Portland, Larson said
he could remember a time when
things were different-when
community policing was the
norm for officers in Portland, and
when people and police had a
much better relationship: "They
used to do a better job at commu
nity poliCing." He noted the trou
bled term of former police chief Mark Kroeker and recent budget
cuts: "It's been going downhill. "
Larson is hopeful for the fu
ture of the Portland Police, and
he is glad to have an opportunity
to work with the department. A
new police chief, Portland native
Derrick Foxworth, seems to rep
resent a promising road ahead for
officers here. Larson, who has a
four-year commitment to the de
partment, is excited to be a part
of that. "We're at a point where we
can change," he said.
Larson became interested in
serving as a police officer in high
school. In college, he jOined the
Oregon Police Corps, a national
scholarship program to reward
and train those who want to serve
in their communities. He chose
the Portland Police as his spon
soring department, and as soon as
he finishes his degree in May, he
will attend training to serve with
them. It has been a hard road,
he said, but he is excited for the PHOTO BY BENJAMIN WATERHOUSE

Most of all,
Larson said, he
wants to change
the way young
people view the
police. "I want
to say, 'Hey, you
know I'm a lot
like [other stu
dents] ," he said.
''I'm a liberal
student, too."
He wants to
remind people
that the police
are not all that
bad. "I want to
let people know
that most police
officers are re
ally good guys,
and they're in it

Said Funk: not your father's jazzy dance band
by Ben Waterhouse
Said Funk is undoubtedly the
best band to come out of lewis
&: Clark as long as I have been
here. Seriously. There is no other
group of musicians currently on
campus that even begins to ap
proach the level of musical pro
ficiency of these five laid-back,
shaggy-haired guys.
You may have seen them at last
Sunday'S Spontaneous Combus
tion concert, sponsored by the
Student Co-op. They were the
ones with the saxophone and all
the people dancing.
The band (which features Jared
Betz on bass, Will Adams on gui
tar and lead vocals, Reid Neuman
on sax, Masa Horibe on drums,
and Ben Darwish-who is not an
lC student--on keyboards), has
been around almost as long as its
members have known each other.
"During NSO last year Will and I
just ran into each other and start
ed jamming on acoustic guitar:
We met Reid and Masa, and even
tually we went from jamming to
gether to playing as a band," Betz
explained. over again for Sunburn this year,
they aren't bitter. "I don't know if
we would have played if they had
asked us to," Betz said. "The con
cert really didn't fit with our style
of music, and we don't want to be
that lousy opening band."
Each of the members of Said
Funk describes their music differ
ently. Adams calls it "jazzy,jammy
blues funk rock and roll," while
Reid simply sums it up as "The
culmination of all the good music
that ever existed." "We're a dance
band," Betz explained. "We play
funk, blues, rock, whatever you
want. I don't like the term 'jam
band' very much. I don't think
it's a very good way to classify
music."
Said Funk does agree on one
thing, though: they don't much
care for "indie" rock. "I really
don't like this whole movement
towards indie bands," Betz said.
"It just seems like noise for the
sake of making noise. Thats not
real music." Adams agreed. "You
don't get people just dancing
and feeling good at those [indiel
shows," he said. "We're the only
band on campus that consistentl y
gets people to dance and enjoy
themselves ." Said Funk was still working
without a name when they played
their first gig at KlC's Rugburn
last year, although that didn't stop
them from rocking the Rusty Nail
for the 20 minutes the Battle of
the Bands allowed them. They
didn't win the contest (the prize
went to the now-defunct Slow
down Cowboy), but they were a
big hit among the student body. Last summer, the members
of Said Funk (minus Horibe and
with a different drummer) fine
tuned their sound by playing to
gether under the name lrie Green,
Jared explained. "It was the sum
mer that really did it. The whole
band was living together and we
played together more or less con
stantly." The same group is plan-Will Adams, lead singer and guitar player for Said Funk, at last Sunday's concert in Stamm.
Although the band was passed ning to stay in Portland again this
summer, and hopes to playa few
concerts as lrie Green.
Said Funk has yet to make any
formal recordings, though they
do have all of their shows on tape.
"We're hoping to cut an album
this summer," Jared said. "We
Randy Marsh, musical genius
by Craig Beebe
Artistic inspiration can come
at strange moments . For Randy
Marsh('04), who is wrapping
up rehearsals on the musical he
wrote, produced, directed, and
starred in, inspiration came one
rainy day on 1-5. He was driv
ing south to California, last spring
break, through terrible weather,
when suddenly south of the city
he hit a beautiful burst of sun
shine.
And this got him thinking:
what if there was a place where it
rained all the time? What would
it be like if that was all you knew?
And how would it be affected if a story," he said. "It's something
else when you get the two to
gether."
Marsh's advisor on the project,
Assistant Professor Forrest Pierce
(Music) is impressed by what
Marsh has done. "The amount
of intellectual effort reqUired to
put this together has been stag
gering," he said, adding that "the
results are tremendous. "
Indeed, the production in
volves a lot of music. There are
20 musical numbers, ranging
from 30 seconds to five minutes
apiece. Pierce noted that the mu
sic falls into the Singspiel tradi
tion, a style of composing also
seen in the work of Mozart. The

I thusiasm. "Its a great story," he
said. "I enjoyed the music. There
are some beautiful pieces."
Marsh believes the experi
ence has taught him a lot. After
graduation he hopes to go back to
California, "to be a person again,
rather than a student." But for
now he is basking in the glory
of putting on his own show. "It's
good to know how you do if you
really go for something," he said,
adding that he "had to fight" to
get the production to where it is
today.
In the end, Marsh hopes the
production will be enjoyable for
all audiences. "1 want it to be a
senior project that's fun," he said.
He said he wanted to make it "ac
cessible to all audiences, regard
less of [musicall training."
Pierce was optimistic about
the musical's potential. "It'll be a
wonderful evening of music and
theater," he said. "[The musical)
is something that will open peo
ple's eyes, as to the possibility of
different student projects."
The musical has only one per
formance, on Wednesday, Apr. 28
at 9:00pm in Fir Acres Theatre.
Admission is free.
PENGUINS! PENGUINS!
PIOlOG! PIOlOG! have an album worth of mate

something that we could make
some money from."
What does the future hold
for Said Funk? Immediately, a
concert: the band will play this
Saturday in the Rusty Nail, with The '80s Cover Band opening.
But beyond that? "I am convinced
that Said Funk can bring about
peace in the Middle East, and
1 want to play with the Kronos
quartet," Neuman quipped. "In
the meantime , anyone who wants
to pay us to play can feel free."

A roller coaster of a season
has wound down to a sense of
accomplishment for the Lewis
6;;: Clark tennis team. This past
weekend in Yakima, Wash
ington, the LC tennis headed
to the Northwest Conference
where the men played Puget
Sound and fell 6-1. In the
consolation bracket the men
played Whitworth, vying for
fifth place. Tommy Brasi
er('04) swung hard and played well, wining his third number one
Singles match of the tournament.
Zach Mann('05), playing the
number two Singles position, also
won. David Lindsay(,07) took
third place. Brasierllindsey and
ManniShearer(,07) also won their
doubles matches for the fourth
point to solidify their victory
against Willamette on Friday.
On Saturday the men fought
for fifth place in the conference
but fell to Whitworth, 5-2. The
men finished up their season in
sixth place but did not go home
empty handed. At the end of
the Northwest Conference senior
Tommy Brasier received first team
honors. He ended the confer
ence as a perfect 3-0 at number Klausman predicts next year
will be strong due because of the
first-years who will have a year
under their belt. Also, players
who are returning from overseas
will contribute greatly to the
team.
The season ended with many
memorable games: the crushing
defeat of the mens club team
from Oregon State, 0-9; the Feb.
20 mens' win over George Fox,
5-2; the Apr. 9 big victory against
Pacific, 6-1; and the women's win
over Pacific, 9-0. There were also
fun alumni matches against some
of the past Pio greats. Pios will be
sure to come back in full force af-

Naked Milers attract attention New turbine to heat
by Craig Beebe
Despite a drizzly day, 16 stu
dents showed up to run, skip,
and even bike the Naked Mile
last Sunday, Apr. 18, continuing
a Lewis &: Clark College tradition
that aims to "smash the stereo
types and make people smile," in
the words of informal organizer
Julie Engle('06).
Many of this year's runners
were decorated with body paint.
Many participants sported a rain
bow look, but Engle, who led the
run with the assistance of a large
megaphone, said that "some of
us purists remained unadorned."
The annual Naked Mile is a
well-known tradition on cam
pus, and each year provides an
interesting diversion to students
who are normally hard at work
preparing for end of semester
finals. The highlight of the run,
Engle noted, is the stop by the
library, where she said the run
ners hoped "to give the studious
a 30-second break and perhaps a
smile."
Some questions have been
raised about the timing of the
Naked Mile this year, however.
The event took place during Pro
spective Student Weekend, with
many admitted students who
are conSidering coming to LC on
campus.
Runner Marianna Wiles('06) said she had
thought the run
had something to
do with prospec
tive students, re
calling that she had
been specifically
asked about it by
campus visitors in
the past. She said

spective students "could go ei
ther way" based on what they
saw, though she said it would be
hard to predict how the Naked
Mile might influence individual
students.
Admissions did not return
a request for comment on the
subject.
Ultimately , Naked Milers were
pleased at how smoothly the run
went. "It was a more celebra
tory run this year," Wiles said.

On the twentieth day of the

4:20pm, students rallied together
to celebrate the stoner's national

On Apr. 22, Lewis &: Clark
College celebrated Earth Day
with the dedication of a 30-
kilowatt Capstone microturbine
fueled by natural gas that will
furnish electricity and heating
for the Zehntbauer Swimming
Pavilion.
On the roof adjacent to the
Swimming Pavilion, a small
power plant runs 24 hours a
day to help provide power to
the building and heat the pool.
Richard Bettega, Associate Vice
President for Facilities, said this
micro turbine will work by using
natural gas to fuel the microtur
bine, redUcing oxide emissions
of carbon and nitrogen and other
by-products of fossil fuels.
Janice Carter, Administrative
Facilities Coordinator , reported
that the turbine took two months
to install, at an overall cost of
$114,000 . The College paid
only $39,000 because of grants
and other incentives, including
tax credits from Oregon Energy
Trust and the Oregon Office of
Energy.
Chris Galati, Northwest
Natural's Director of Conserva
tion and Technology, reported
whether or not to light up." De
spite the presence of Campus
Safety, students proudly reported
that they "smoked at 4:20 any-
way."
"Before Campus Safety ar
rived," reported one female pot
connoisseur, "the scene was
sublime. Groups of stoners pour
ing out of the woodwork and
swarming towards the flagpole as
the hour approached." Estimates
on the number of students in
volved ranged from 50 to 80.
In response to the mass of
smokers, Nishidi reportedly told
the group to "take it off campus."
Initially, the group refused and
"lit up" as the clocks landed on
twenty past four. However, when that these devices are drawing
national attention due to their
energy-saving possibilities . Mi
croturbines have "the ability to
generate electriCity from fuels
on-site rather than rely solely on
the power grid for a facility:S en
ergy needs," he said.
Many other operators of pub
lic and" private pools in Portland
are hoping to imitate LC by in
stalling similar systems at their
facilities.
The College is trying to mini
mize its impact on the environ
ment by abiding by sustainable
bUilding p'ractices that incor
porate energy-efficient deSigns
when constructing and renovat
ing buildings . These practices
were applied to the new Howard
Hall, which will be completed by
next fall.
This summer, the College
plans to complete other energy
saving and effiCiency projects.
Some of these projects include
replacing the Pamplin high bay
lights and office and hallway
lights with more energy-efficient
bulbs. The College also plans to
replace the boilers in Forest and
Platt halls and the interior light
ing in Forest halls with more en
ergy-efficient equipment. EDITORS-IN-CHIEF: JOE CLOCK

REALLY MATTER, BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST
ISSUE. THANKS FOR THE SUMBISSION SCOTT! by Josh Silverman
Since the Norwalk virus struck
campus on Apr. 2, the Bon Ap
petit staff has taken aggressive
measures to halt the spread of the
illness. These measures have led
to minor inconveni ences in Fields
Dinning Hall, and quite a bit of
student grumbling .
Upon entry, students are no
longer allowed to pick up their
own trays or silverware. In ad
dition, all whole fruits, breads,
desserts, and soups have been
placed behind serving lines and
ice cream bars have replaced
self-serve ice cream. The new
measures were implemented to
control possible contamination
by infected students.
The length of time it takes to
be served is the most common
complaint. Frequent congestion
occurs in the initial line into
Fields Dining hall as well as in the
Comfort Food line during dinner.
"It's a pain in the a**," Suzi
Flory('06) said, echoing the com-

ard resident reported. "It was the
biggest one I have ever seen."
The blunt was said to take ap
proximately 45 minutes to smoke
among 16 people.
During the session, Campus
Safety did not interfere. When
questioned about the incident at
the flagpole, Officer Benny Yanez
reported, "We heard that there
was a group of students down by
the flagpole so we sent one of our
officers down. The students said
they were going to smoke regard
less. Our officer asked them to
leave and they did. There was re
ally no incident."
For both students and Cam
pus Safety, 4/20 occurred without
the antagonism that all too often
characterizes the interactions be
tween stoners and Campo. This
year, Apr. 20 was not only a day
of camaraderie for stoners, but it
was also a day of progress in the
dynamics between students and
Campus Safety.
2 the Pioneer Log, April 23, 2004 plaints of a large percentage of
LC students. "It has Significantly
changed my eating habits. I end
up eating mostly fruits and veg
etables because I don't want to
wait in line."
The Bon Appetit Staff has been
receptive to student complaints.
The separate pizza line and the
placement of desserts by the en
tryway are changes that have gar
nered student praise.
Yet despite these inconve
niences, many students feel that
such policy changes are neces
sary. Annie Goodsill('06) felt
that the Bon Appetit staff was
handling the situation profeSSion
ally and responsibly. "It's a bad
situation, but I don't know what
I would have done differently,"
she said.
Many students, however,
questioned the effectiveness of
these new regulations . "The fact
that I can't pick up my own fork
because I might contaminate it
with a virus no one has seen for
a week and a half is ridiculous,"
Mitch LeVay('07) said. Kihra So
rensen('07) stated that she would
rather risk getting sick than deal
with the extravagant precautions.
Kelly Meyer('06) commented on the decrease in the variation
of food types offered, but did
note that she enjoyed the new
ice cream bars, despite the loss
of "Sunday Sundaes ." In fact, the
introduction of the bars has been
by far the most popular change in
Bon Appetit policy.
"I really do enjoy those new ice
cream bars," Erich England('07)
said. "They make it a lot easier for
me to supplement Bon food with
ice cream. I eat two every day, at
least."

"I think it was less about shock
value, and more about fun," she
added, pointing out that the body
paint and the Spontaneou s Com

lot to the event.
Organizers were grateful to
those who ran. "I want to give a
big 'thank you' to all the runners
for cracking the mold our culture

Goodbyes from departing Pioneer Log editors
by Joe Clock, Editor-in-Chief
You probably don't know
me, but for the past four years,
I've put the newspaper in your
mailbox, faithfully read SAAB
Scoop, and written news stories
of all varieties, including the bor
ing ones that nobody else wanted
to write.
I've worked for the Pioneer Log
since the first issue of my fresh
man year. I spent my first three
years at Lewis &: Clark as the edi
tor of the news. section, and for
the past year I've shared the posi
tion of Editor-in-Chief with Beka
Feathers.
I've learned a lot from the pa
per, both about journalism and
about LC. I've matched faces
and personalities to all the names
in those campUS-wide e-mails
you delete without reading, and
the paper has kept me up to date
with what is going on all around
campus.
I've been part of a wide variety
of arguments, scandals, and dis
putes involving the Pioneer Log,
and, although I still can't predict
what will piss someone off and
what won't, I have learned a lot
about when that anger is justi
fied, and when it is just a little
ridiculous. Usually the anger is
a little of both.
I've also learned, however, Joe Clock, the Pioneer Log
Editor-in-Chief, has worked
for the paper for the past four
years in various capacities.
that sometimes angry responses
to the paper are a sign that we are
doing the right thing, covering
issues that people care about and
attracting readers.
My most important goal in
working for the Pioneer Log has
been to make the paper more
appealing to students and to
draw more readers. I have tried
to encourage the paper to focus
on stories that are important to
the largest possible number of
students.
As anyone involved in student
groups knows, students at LC
are largely apathetiC to student
government and student groups.
Over the past year, the Pioneer
Log has tried to look outside of
Templeton to find news that af-My most important

fects the campus communi ty as
a whole.
In the four years that I have
worked for the Pioneer Log, I have
worked with a wide variety of
people, and to some extent the
paper has reflected the ideas and
personalities of each of them. The
Pioneer Log is always looking for
new people, so if you want to see
your ideas in the paper, come to a
Monday meeting. The paper is on
a good track going into next year.
This is my last issue on the Pio
neer Log. I don't have any grand
plans for the future, at least none
that are solid enough to put in the
newspaper. I may continue to
work in journalism, or I may not.
Either way, the Pioneer Log and
your reactions to it have given me
some experiences that will stay
with me.
It's been nice telling you whats
going on for the past four years. by John Koehn, Forum Editor
It's hard to say goodbye to the
ones you love, which is why writ
ing this letter couldn't possibly
be easier. These past four years
have gone by fast. It seems like
just yesterday that I was shaking
my head in disbelief at the semi
coherent ramblings of trust-fund
hippies. Actually, that was yester
day -but you get my point.
To the many of you that I have
offended over the years: Get over
it. Nobody cares. Nobody. Not
even your mom. Why? Because
this isn't the real world. This is
the most sheltered experience
you will ever have. You should
feel lucky that you have the time
to sit around and bitch about the
drivel you read in this paper.
Here's a news flash for all of the
"open minded" liberals who think
they are going to work for the UN
when they graduate and change
the world: you are not. You are
not open-minded and you will
most likely work for a shitty
North-Portland cafe serving cof
fee refills to haggard mid-level of
fice workers, who you will be in
ten years, if you're lucky.
So congratulations, you now
possess a $120,000 education
(plus opportunity costs). Now
what are you going to do? I'll give
you a hint: you're going to work for the man. That's right, the
man. The one and only.
Maybe mommy and daddy will
let you suck away their money for
another few years, but soon they
will get wise and cut the umbilical
cord. And when you're working
that shitty job wondering why the
UN never returns your e-mails;
when you start to bitch about the
taxes that come out of your pay
check each week, thats when you
will know that you are in "the real
world." Its only a matter of time
before you vote Republican.
To all the RAs out there: its go
ing to be tough for you to transi
tion to the real world too. It will
take a few months to get down
from your power trip. A few
more months for the Jon Eldridge
dreams to go away, and the better
part of a year before you will stop
being a jackass. Remember that
in the real world, when someone
pisses you off, writing them up
will have no effect.
Goodbye LC hippies. I am
sure that I will see some of you
again when I stop by for a cup of
coffee, unless you're off protesting
something that day.
I now leave you with my favor
ite joke, as it is apropos for many
of you: how many protestors does
it take to change a lightbulb? An
swer: zero, because protestors
never change anything.
Student loans may no longer be at fixed rates
by Dave Muller
As graduation nears, most se
niors see a dark cloud in the oth
erwise clear horizon (cue scary
music): student loans. After a six
to nine month grace period, the
monthly payments commence,
and the longer the plan one
chooses, the more interest slhe
will be forced to pay.
The good news is that gradu
ates are able to consolidate their
loans and secure fixed interest
rates over the course of repay
ment. When market rates rise,
the federal government makes
up the difference in graduates'
payments to ensure lenders'
profits.
The bad news is this govern
ment subsidiza tion may soon be a thing of the past, as the total
bill exceeded $2 billion in 2003.
Democrats in the House of Repre
sentatives have proposed legisla
tion to replace the fixed rates with
variable rates that would fluctuate
with the ebb and flow of the mar
ket. House Republicans are likely
to introduce similar legislation .
Such changes would increase
graduates' total payments by sev
eral thousand dollars over the
course of 10-15 year plans.
Greg Winter of the New York
Times writes, "Critics of the cur
rent program argue that its chief
beneficiaries are working adults,
capable of taking on the respon
sibility of paying back their loans,
higher rates and all. Instead of
subSidizing them by offering fixed
rates, critics say, the government Student loan repay
ment is becoming
more of a burden,
even with fixed in
terest rates:
should be spending its money
on people who are still students,
struggling either to start or stay in
college."
The most vocal supporters of
the current program are the lend
ing organizations who fear more
graduates would default on pay
ments if their interest rates rose,
along with debt-burdened college
graduates. Despite the fact that I
will soon be burdened with loan

here for good. I'm so glad this is the last stupid
comic we'll ever have to read. payments myself, I support these
proposed changes. ProViding
lower-income people with the
chance to receive a college edu
cation should be a higher federal
priority than protecting lenders
and graduates who already have
• their degree in the bag.
A college diploma certainly
widens the employment options
for graduates, and taking a fuller
responsibility for one's debt does
not seem unjust. On the other
hand, we see the job market
shrinking and incomes stagnat
ing. Student loan repayment is
becoming more of a burden, even
with fixed interest rates. Can
graduates handle lOSing a larger
chunk of their paychecks each
month to higher interest rates?
This is not a black and white question. While many will con
tinue to make their payments
with ease, others will inevitably be
pushed to the brink of economic
disaster, if not right over the edge.
The threats to college graduates,
however, as well as to lending
organizations, are outweighed by
the threat of severely limited em
ployment options to the bulk of
the American population.
Graduates should make some
sacrifices, especially those of us
who were fortunate enough to at
tend an expensive private school
like LC, in order to open the edu
cational possibilities for Ameri
cans who cannot even afford in
state tuition at public universities.

Faculty Profile:
Greta Binford
by Janet Freerks
As if Keller Autumn 's geckos weren't
enough.
Greta Binford, an assistant profes
sor of Biology, is the recent recipient of
a two-year grant for $47,000 from the
M.]. Murdock Charitable Trust to study
patterns of "diversity in spider venom
and diver
sity in how
they kill
their prey,"
she said.
Binford
has been
interested
in spiders
since her
under
graduate
education
at Univer
sity of Mi
ami-Ohio,
she said.
There, she
knew she
was inter-
ested in Biology, but wasn't completely
sure what she wanted to do after com
pleting her education . A Biology pro
fessor at the university offered Binford
the opportunity to apply for a research
trip to Peru, and she was chosen for the
position. "Research was really fun," Bin
ford said.
Binford continues her work with the
same enthusiasm today, and said the
grant will help her better understand
her beloved creature. She explained
that spiders are unique creatures . There
are 38,000 species of spider, all of which
have venom. Spider venom is very
unique on a chemical level because of its
complexity; it is made up of anywhere
between 50 to 200 different chemicals,
and the chemical m~keup varies across
species. Although most venom doesn't
affect human beings, the venom of the
brown recluse spider that Binford plans
to focus on does. There is an "enzyme in [brown recluse] venom that causes
damage to human skin," Binford ex
plained.
Through her research, Binford
hopes to understand the "patterns of
diversity in venom chemistry as a func
tion of diversity in feeding behavior,"
she said.
"This grant is money to reconstru ct
evolu
tionary
relation
ships of

genus,"
she said.
Professor
Binford
hopes
that the
informa
tion that
she gath
ers will
be used
in order
to ana-
IMAGECOURTES YWWW.LCLAR K.EDU lyze the
patterns of variation among species in
that group. This information will help
scientists' understanding of the varia
tions in venom, which will help in the
treatment of spider bites.
Binford won't be at her work alone;
she has the opportunity to hire three
students to help with research. The
students will occaSionally change.
This summer Binford will be helped by
Lewis &: Clark students Melissa Bod
ner('04), Kate Baldwin('04) , and Chris
Ellison('05) . Both Baldwin and Ellison
will be funded by the M.]. Murdock
Charitabl e Trust grant.
The grant she has received will also
fund a research trip for Binford and
two students to Argentina to collect
specimens in the fall. Binford plans
to continue research full-time through
the summer. In the fall, she will teach
classes and work on her research in her
free time. ----Features---
Leer to join police Naked Photo of the Week
by Craig Beebe
Anthony Larson('04) wants to
make a difference in his commu
nity. That is why the Psychology
major has chosen a career work

ping his participation in a schol
arship and training program, the
Oregon Police Corps. ''I'm look

make a difference in someone's
life every day," Larson said.
Larson is aware this is a diffi
cult time for police officers in the
Rose City. A recent shooting of an
unarmed suspect during a routine
traffic stop in North Portland has
only increased tensions between
the department and residents,
especially minorities . While that
case is still under review, Larson
said it has had negative effects on
relations between the people of
the city and those whose mission
is to protect them: "Its unfortu
nate the way things are going."
Even without the recent trou
bles for department , Larson said
it is hard being ~ police officer
or aspiring police officer these
days. "It's not something I really
shared [with other students],"
Larson said, noting the mixed re
actions he got when he did. Some
students were very supportive,
but others seemed distrustful
of Larson because of his career
goals. He thinks this distrust is
indicative of the current situa
tion with the police in Portland.
"It's a product of the relationship
with office rs and the community,"
Larson said. "I can understand
where [those who do not trust the
police] are coming from."
Things haven't always been
this way, Larson said. Raised in
Southeast Portland, Larson said
he could remember a time when
things were different-when
community policing was the
norm for officers in Portland, and
when people and police had a
much better relationship: "They
used to do a better job at commu
nity poliCing." He noted the trou
bled term of former police chief Mark Kroeker and recent budget
cuts: "It's been going downhill. "
Larson is hopeful for the fu
ture of the Portland Police, and
he is glad to have an opportunity
to work with the department. A
new police chief, Portland native
Derrick Foxworth, seems to rep
resent a promising road ahead for
officers here. Larson, who has a
four-year commitment to the de
partment, is excited to be a part
of that. "We're at a point where we
can change," he said.
Larson became interested in
serving as a police officer in high
school. In college, he jOined the
Oregon Police Corps, a national
scholarship program to reward
and train those who want to serve
in their communities. He chose
the Portland Police as his spon
soring department, and as soon as
he finishes his degree in May, he
will attend training to serve with
them. It has been a hard road,
he said, but he is excited for the PHOTO BY BENJAMIN WATERHOUSE

Most of all,
Larson said, he
wants to change
the way young
people view the
police. "I want
to say, 'Hey, you
know I'm a lot
like [other stu
dents] ," he said.
''I'm a liberal
student, too."
He wants to
remind people
that the police
are not all that
bad. "I want to
let people know
that most police
officers are re
ally good guys,
and they're in it

Said Funk: not your father's jazzy dance band
by Ben Waterhouse
Said Funk is undoubtedly the
best band to come out of lewis
&: Clark as long as I have been
here. Seriously. There is no other
group of musicians currently on
campus that even begins to ap
proach the level of musical pro
ficiency of these five laid-back,
shaggy-haired guys.
You may have seen them at last
Sunday'S Spontaneous Combus
tion concert, sponsored by the
Student Co-op. They were the
ones with the saxophone and all
the people dancing.
The band (which features Jared
Betz on bass, Will Adams on gui
tar and lead vocals, Reid Neuman
on sax, Masa Horibe on drums,
and Ben Darwish-who is not an
lC student--on keyboards), has
been around almost as long as its
members have known each other.
"During NSO last year Will and I
just ran into each other and start
ed jamming on acoustic guitar:
We met Reid and Masa, and even
tually we went from jamming to
gether to playing as a band," Betz
explained. over again for Sunburn this year,
they aren't bitter. "I don't know if
we would have played if they had
asked us to," Betz said. "The con
cert really didn't fit with our style
of music, and we don't want to be
that lousy opening band."
Each of the members of Said
Funk describes their music differ
ently. Adams calls it "jazzy,jammy
blues funk rock and roll," while
Reid simply sums it up as "The
culmination of all the good music
that ever existed." "We're a dance
band," Betz explained. "We play
funk, blues, rock, whatever you
want. I don't like the term 'jam
band' very much. I don't think
it's a very good way to classify
music."
Said Funk does agree on one
thing, though: they don't much
care for "indie" rock. "I really
don't like this whole movement
towards indie bands," Betz said.
"It just seems like noise for the
sake of making noise. Thats not
real music." Adams agreed. "You
don't get people just dancing
and feeling good at those [indiel
shows," he said. "We're the only
band on campus that consistentl y
gets people to dance and enjoy
themselves ." Said Funk was still working
without a name when they played
their first gig at KlC's Rugburn
last year, although that didn't stop
them from rocking the Rusty Nail
for the 20 minutes the Battle of
the Bands allowed them. They
didn't win the contest (the prize
went to the now-defunct Slow
down Cowboy), but they were a
big hit among the student body. Last summer, the members
of Said Funk (minus Horibe and
with a different drummer) fine
tuned their sound by playing to
gether under the name lrie Green,
Jared explained. "It was the sum
mer that really did it. The whole
band was living together and we
played together more or less con
stantly." The same group is plan-Will Adams, lead singer and guitar player for Said Funk, at last Sunday's concert in Stamm.
Although the band was passed ning to stay in Portland again this
summer, and hopes to playa few
concerts as lrie Green.
Said Funk has yet to make any
formal recordings, though they
do have all of their shows on tape.
"We're hoping to cut an album
this summer," Jared said. "We
Randy Marsh, musical genius
by Craig Beebe
Artistic inspiration can come
at strange moments . For Randy
Marsh('04), who is wrapping
up rehearsals on the musical he
wrote, produced, directed, and
starred in, inspiration came one
rainy day on 1-5. He was driv
ing south to California, last spring
break, through terrible weather,
when suddenly south of the city
he hit a beautiful burst of sun
shine.
And this got him thinking:
what if there was a place where it
rained all the time? What would
it be like if that was all you knew?
And how would it be affected if a story," he said. "It's something
else when you get the two to
gether."
Marsh's advisor on the project,
Assistant Professor Forrest Pierce
(Music) is impressed by what
Marsh has done. "The amount
of intellectual effort reqUired to
put this together has been stag
gering," he said, adding that "the
results are tremendous. "
Indeed, the production in
volves a lot of music. There are
20 musical numbers, ranging
from 30 seconds to five minutes
apiece. Pierce noted that the mu
sic falls into the Singspiel tradi
tion, a style of composing also
seen in the work of Mozart. The

I thusiasm. "Its a great story," he
said. "I enjoyed the music. There
are some beautiful pieces."
Marsh believes the experi
ence has taught him a lot. After
graduation he hopes to go back to
California, "to be a person again,
rather than a student." But for
now he is basking in the glory
of putting on his own show. "It's
good to know how you do if you
really go for something," he said,
adding that he "had to fight" to
get the production to where it is
today.
In the end, Marsh hopes the
production will be enjoyable for
all audiences. "1 want it to be a
senior project that's fun," he said.
He said he wanted to make it "ac
cessible to all audiences, regard
less of [musicall training."
Pierce was optimistic about
the musical's potential. "It'll be a
wonderful evening of music and
theater," he said. "[The musical)
is something that will open peo
ple's eyes, as to the possibility of
different student projects."
The musical has only one per
formance, on Wednesday, Apr. 28
at 9:00pm in Fir Acres Theatre.
Admission is free.
PENGUINS! PENGUINS!
PIOlOG! PIOlOG! have an album worth of mate
rial, and it would be nice to have
something that we could make
some money from."
What does the future hold
for Said Funk? Immediately, a
concert: the band will play this
Saturday in the Rusty Nail, with The '80s Cover Band opening.
But beyond that? "I am convinced
that Said Funk can bring about
peace in the Middle East, and
1 want to play with the Kronos
quartet," Neuman quipped. "In
the meantime , anyone who wants
to pay us to play can feel free."

A roller coaster of a season
has wound down to a sense of
accomplishment for the Lewis
6;;: Clark tennis team. This past
weekend in Yakima, Wash
ington, the LC tennis headed
to the Northwest Conference
where the men played Puget
Sound and fell 6-1. In the
consolation bracket the men
played Whitworth, vying for
fifth place. Tommy Brasi
er('04) swung hard and played well, wining his third number one
Singles match of the tournament.
Zach Mann('05), playing the
number two Singles position, also
won. David Lindsay(,07) took
third place. Brasierllindsey and
ManniShearer(,07) also won their
doubles matches for the fourth
point to solidify their victory
against Willamette on Friday.
On Saturday the men fought
for fifth place in the conference
but fell to Whitworth, 5-2. The
men finished up their season in
sixth place but did not go home
empty handed. At the end of
the Northwest Conference senior
Tommy Brasier received first team
honors. He ended the confer
ence as a perfect 3-0 at number Klausman predicts next year
will be strong due because of the
first-years who will have a year
under their belt. Also, players
who are returning from overseas
will contribute greatly to the
team.
The season ended with many
memorable games: the crushing
defeat of the mens club team
from Oregon State, 0-9; the Feb.
20 mens' win over George Fox,
5-2; the Apr. 9 big victory against
Pacific, 6-1; and the women's win
over Pacific, 9-0. There were also
fun alumni matches against some
of the past Pio greats. Pios will be
sure to come back in full force af-
ter a year of such experiences. LC finished the season in third be accelerated.
