Nunez awarded Physics professor Broide
Truman scholarship named Teacher of the Year
/'-
by Valarie Hunsinger
Tristan Nunez('05) was
awarded the prestigious 2004
Truman Scholarship on Mar. 19,
2004. In competition with 600
applicants nominated by 300
colleges and universities, Nunez
excelled at the rigorous applica­
tion process, becoming one of
the 77 junior undergraduate s to
receive this award. Nunez ap­
plied in February with the help
of faculty members Robert Eisen­
ger (Political Science) and Bob
Mandel (Internationa l Affairs). A
month later, he was called in for
an interview and was inducted
two days later. Nunez will join
the ranks of seven other Lewis &:
Clark College students to receive
a Truman Scholarship.
The scholarship is the offi­
cial federal memotial LO former
u.s. president Harry S. Tru­
man. It is a highly competitive,
merit-based award offered to
U.S. citizens who wish £0 .mend
graduate school in preparation
for a career in public service.
The scholarship recognizes out­
standing potential as a leader in
public service and a commitment
to defending and improving the
environme nt. A $26,000 grant
is bestowed, of which $2,000
is available for undergraduate
tuition, while $24,000 is ear­
marked for funding graduate
study in the u.s. or abroad in an
assortment of fields.
Nunez is a Dr. Robert B. Pam­
plin Jr. Society of Fellows mem­
ber, a Dean's List Scholar, and a
2003 Morris K. Udall scholar. He
has also been a member of Model
United Nations, the Organiza-tion for Peace and Politics, and
a contributor to The Meridian,
an academic journal for interna­
tional affairs. Nunez was elected
last year as ASLC Chief Justice,
and chairs the LC student review
board, which decides many stu­
dents' diSCiplinary fates every
week.
Nunez said his most memo­
rable organizational involvement
was when he participated in the
2002 graduation protest against
Scalia. During the summer he
developed a database of intern­
ship opportunities enabling stu­
dents to find internships over­
seas, which he hopes will be up
and working soon. Nunez said
he came to LC in hopes of par­
ticipating in activism to make
this campus and world a better
place.
Interim President Paul Brag­
don said, "Tristan works in quiet,
effective ways to make a differ­
ence in the world around him."
Nunez, who was raised under
the label of a "green diaper baby,"
has continued to follow in these
steps by recently declaring an
Environmental Studies major. In
2002 he volunteered in the Hells
Canyon preservation project.
Nunez believes that the Tru­
man Scholarship has opened up
many options, including solidi­
fying the possibility of graduate
school.
"The award will enable me to
pursue the education I will need
to be an effective activist for so­
cial and environmental justice in
the international arena," Nunez
said.
He currently plans to attend

Michael Broide, Associate
Professor of Physics, has been
chosen Teacher of the Year for
the 2003-2004 school year. The
Physics department chair was se­
lected from a distinguish ed list of
professors to receive the award.
Broides attitude and friendli­
ness led to his nomination . "His
teaching style and personality
bridge the gap between a student
and the professor ," said Dmitri
Gurkins ('05). "His door is al­
ways open."
Broide said he was "thrilled
and honored" by the award. "It's incredibly gratifying to be recog­
nized by the students you teach,"
he said.
Broide, a professor at LC since
1991, teaches a number of class­
es in the Physics department,
including Great Ideas in PhYSiCS,
Physics of Motion, Electromag­
netism, Thermodynamics , and
Statistical Methods. His exten­
sive background includes a Mas­
ter of Science degree from UCLA
and a Ph.D. from MIT.
Broide's dedication to his
work has impressed many who
have taken his classes. "Michael's
hard work creates an environ­
ment such that his students as-pire to work as hard as he does,"
said Gregory Mason('04). "He is
a great motivator."
The other finalists for the
award, which is chosen annually
by a selection committee and the
Pamplin Society, were Greta Bin­
ford (Biology), Andrew Cortell
(International Affairs), and Greg
Hermann (Biology).
After receiving student input
and going through heavy deli­
biration, the committee chose
Broide for his combination of
scholarship, integrity, and com­

Gender-neutral housing plan nears completion
Backed by student sup­
port, gender-neutral
dorm rooms are on the
horizon; Residence Life
considers implementation
by Craig Beebe
Gender-blind hOUSing is on
its way to the Lewis &: Clark Col­
lege dorms, representatives of the
Gender-bli nd Housing Commit­
tee reported at a forum Monday
night.
"We've decided to go ahead
with gender-blind hOUSing for
Fall 2005," said Joe Petroni('06)
of United Sexualities.
The change, which has gener­
ated a 10L of discussion on cam­
pus over the past few months,
will amend LCs hOUSing policies
to allow coed rooms on some
Ooors.
Committee members and
Residence Life are now looking at how to best implement the
new program, and a number of
ideas have come up. "We want
to make sure when we do this we
do it right," committee member
Kestryl Lowrey('07) said.
One possibility in-non-traditional rooms with tra­
ditional, Single-sex rooms was
debated Monday night. "It could
be positive for all members of the
College community to have [gen­
der-blind] rooms by traditional people think about what they're
dOing," he said. "We will have
to trust people to do the right
thing."
Lowrey pOinted out that
couples using the new system for
cohabitation might take
cludes locating the gen­
der-blind rooms on one
or two Ooors in a spe­
cific dorm, creating a
sort of "theme Ooor" for
those who are interested
in coed hOUSing, said
committee member and "We've decided to go ahead
with gender-blind housing for
Fall 2005." rooms from students
who really need the gen­
der-blind hOUSing for
their own comfort on
campus.
Forest Resident Director
David Rosengard . One fear of
this type of arrangeme nt is that
it would "segregate" students in
gender-ne utral housing into one
area of campus, he said.
Another proposal would
see certain Ooors deSignated as
"non-traditional " Ooors, while
others remained unchanged .

rooms," said Lowrey.
One issue addressed by the
Committee is the risk of roman­
tic couples rooming together.
Rosengard said that while he' per­
sonally would not support such
an action, he is afraid that block­
ing couples from living together
might constitute discrimination.
"I would recommend that "Cohabiters could be
taking away rooms from
those who really need
space," Lowrey said.
Committee members
agreed that response from the
campus community has been
positive. A recent 5tudy of 90
students found that 36% were
interested in living in gender­
blind hOUSing, while another
51 % were supportive of the idea.
The Admissions Department has
agreed to start including the new development in campus tours
and admissions publications, as
well.
The Committee 's other big
mission is education about gen­
der-blind hOUSing. "We've gOL­
ten the go-ahead to do it, but
we're going to need to explain
it to everyone," PeLroni said.
"There is a 10L of education thats
gone on about this topic."
The Committee also an­
nounced a change in the name
of the initiative. Gender-b lind
hOUSing will now be referred to
as gender-neutral housing. "The
whole idea is we're nOL being
blind of gender," Petroni said.
"We're being very aware of it."
Committee members are
pleased at the speed wah which
the College has adopted the
changes. "This is a badge of
honor for LC," said Petroni. "Its
an introduction LO living in the
real world." r---.E-PI-· o-n-ee-r-----,-----N e W5-------. -

According to Lucrecia Choto,
Assistant Director of Overseas

LC students are in Cuba on their
own license, so the cease and de­

affect their experience.
CC-CS has also received a tem­
porary license that will allow stu-zens to travel to the island. Aca­
demic programs are an exception
to the travel ban, and academic
groups may apply for licenses to
skirt the embargo from the U.S.

OFAC issued the cease and

action against CC-CS not only
puts our students at risk, but it

Letters to the editor
LC Alums share their
views on the return of
former college Presi­
dent Michael Mooney
For many months, a con­
cerned network of alumni has
closely monitored and an­
guished over the President Mi­
chael Mooney -Board of Trust­
ees investment scandal. We
have spent countless hours try­
ing to make sense of. then posi­
tively affect the resolution of.
this dark spot in the College's
history We have spoken among
ourselves, with other colleges
and universities, with nonprofit
professionals, and with Lewis &:
Clark College trustees, faculty
and administrators. We have
weathered waves of groundless
optimism, endless spin, and
embarrassing PR missteps. We
have awaited communications
regarding the selection of the
next College President which
have not been forthcoming or
clear. Our impulses have alter­
nated between rushing in with
our collective professional ex­
perience and throwing up our
frustrated hands and walking
away from the wreckage . We
now need to talk with you.
Sources tell us that Dr.
Mooney wishes to return to
campus. We support the stu­
dents and faculty who condemn
this as a regressive mistake. For
students and faculty, the nega­
tive message of his reappear­
ance would be obvious: wrong­
doing is relative and malleable.
For those of us outside Palatine
Hill, Dr. Mooneys return would
be but a symptom that integrity
is not restored and institutional
structures not transformed at
Lewis &: Clark.
Dr. Mooney's presence will
be, at best, a cold reminder of
the tragedy of hubris and, at
worst, a damning symbol of
the Board of Trustees' collec­
tive refusal to address its own
accountability and governance
issues in a contemporary man­
ner. We recognize, however,
that "Professor Mooney" may
be a foregone conclusion. Exit
negotiations between the Board of Trustees and Dr. Mooney may
have tied the hands of anyone in a
position to prevent Dr. Mooney's
return. The Board of Trustees ap­
parently did not take the obvious
opportunity before those negoti­
ations to void its original obliga­
tions to Dr. Mooney based upon
his mis-and malfeasance . As
with the scandal itself then, what
was foreseeable and preventable
will soon be a reality.
While we urge the Board of
Trustees to find some way to
ameliorate the embarrassment of
a Dr. Mooney return, we ask the
Board of Trustees to concentrate
on the more fundamental is­
sues that allowed $10.5 million
to disappear and its architect to
reappear in another campus po­
sition.
We know from Tyco, Enron,
Martha Stewart Omnimedia, the
United Way and the American
Red Cross that trust and integrity
are an organizations most valued
commodities . In Lewis &: Clarks
case, trust enables the College to
generate revenue in the form of
donations and grants supporting
the institutional mission. Trust
and integrity give legitimacy to
those charged with the steward­
ship of the College's scarce re­
sources. We know many alumni
who are withholding support
to the College as a result of Dr.
Mooney's actions and the Col­
lege's corrective response. This
cannot continue .
Now is the time for the Board
of Trustees to act in accordance
with the reality that boards, not
administrators, are ultimately
responsible for institutional
governance and administration.
The Board of Trustees should
reconstitute itself, transparently,
developing new leadership, a
contemporary governance struc­
ture, new operational rules, and
a new purpose. Establish the
next step toward Lewis &: Clarks
future: an operational Board of
Trustees separate from a National
Advisory Board for the College's
benefactors . Enfranchise a Board
of Trustees capable and willing
to work actively for the Col­
lege. Celebrate those who want
to support the school financially
The Minority View
Did you get
Norwalk from
eating at the
Bon? No, I got it from
sharing a
bong ... but not administratively with a
separate honorary Board. Grow
up as an institution .
Only by taking the full re­
sponsibility that it should have
taken months ago, and making
real change, will the Board of
Trustees regain the trust of the
faculty, the students and the
alumni.
Stand resolved on stopping
Dr. Mooney's return, students
and faculty, but don't stop there.
Tenaciously demand real reform
from the Board of Trustees and
your new President. Know that
many alums support you. We,
like you, were taught at Lewis &:
Clark that we could change what
didn't work and create what had
r:tever been. We proudly live by
that in our jobs and families to­
day. For this reason, we must all
feel the necessity, the obligation
and the resolve to assure that
greatness is created out of this
debacle.

National Board of Alumni Can we win the war?
by Joe Clock
The United States will never
win the war on terror.
This is not because of any
deficiency in the US intelligence
community or military capabil­
ity. It is not because of a lack
of patriotism at home and anti­
American sentiment abroad. The
United States will not win the
war on terror because the war on
terror cannot be won.
As is the case in many wars,
the goal of the war on terror is to
eliminate a threat to the security
of the United States. Unlike in
most wars, however, the war on
terror is not between two states,
but between a state and the peo­
ple who use terrorism . Victory
for the United States in the war
on terror would be successfully
eliminating the threat to its secu­
rity that terrorism poses.
It is relatively easy to elimi­
nate a threat to one stateS se­
curity that comes from another_
state. After a war between states,
the victor can include that the
weapons or leaders that posed a
threat be eliminated in the condi­
tions of the defeated state's sur­
render. This is not possible in the
war on terror.
The United States may be
able to defeat individual terrorist
groups and eliminate the threat
that those groups pose to US na-

tional security, but terrorists may
hold vastly different allegiances,
and come from vastly different
parts of the world. Other terrorist
groups will always exist that can
continue to threaten US security.
While states need territory,
and the limited amount of land
on Earth limits new states from
forming easily, terrorist groups
have no need for territory, and
new ones can form faster than old
ones can be defeated.
Defeating and dismantling ter-rorist groups is not the only way
that the United States can win the
war on terror. The US could also
eliminate the threat that terrorism
poses to its security by making
it impossible for terrorists to act
against the United States.
This effort has led to all of the
homeland security measures that
the US has implemented since
September 11, 2001. It may,
however, also not be possible to
eliminate the ability of terrorists
to attack the United States.
Homeland security efforts can
certainly make it more difficult
for terrorists to act, and the gov­
ernment should maintain its ef­
forts to eliminate terrorism within

the US. It is nearly impossible,
however, to stop someone who is
determined to do something and
has not desire to make an escape
afterward from doing damage.
So, what is all this leading up
to? Is the war on terror futile? Are
the terrorists destined to win?
The United States should con­
tinue to defend itself against ter­
rorism, leaders should be careful,
however, when they use the meta­
phor of war to describe that de­
fense. Presidential candidates and
officials testifying before the 9111
Commission should be reluctant
to claim that their leadership or
potential leadership will help the
United States win the war on ter­
ror. By all means, leaders should
do all they can do defend the
United States against terrorist at­
tacks. They should not however,
claim that they can do the impos­
sible and end the terrorist threat
to the US.
Terrorism has been a threat to
the United States and other coun­
Sries since long before September
11, 2001, and it will continue to
be a threat long into the future.
We should work to defend our­
selves, but we should not claim
that we can do the impossible .

ASLC President East
and President-elect
Mascarenaz explain the
recent opening on the
ASLC Executive Council
Recently the elected candidate
for the position of Vice President
of Budget and Finance, Laura
Matson, decided that she would
offer a letter of resignation for the
position and graduate a semester
early. All of us were saddened,
as we all were looking forward
to Lauras service in ASLC and
working with her in the future.
However, this opened up an
interesting constitutional ques­
tion for the ASLC Council. The
Council has no speCific power to
address this issue. Due to a spe­
cific by-law conflict, it is impos­
sible to schedule an election dur­
ing this time of the year. The time allotted for preparing an election
is two weeks, and that puts us in
the middle of reading days. This
provides another dilemma as the
by-laws speCifically prohibit elec­
tions taking place during that
time. The nature of the position
itself requires training from the
current Vice President and the
understanding of the complex
budgeting procedures of GAB,
student groups and various ac­
counts. Needless to say, timing is
everything and training is key. In
the end, we were left with weigh­
ing our responSibility to effective­
ly manage ASLC versus using a
power not specifically prohibited
or explicated, yet inherent within
the by-laws, that of appointing
someone to the position.
At the end of Tuesdays ASLC
Council meeting it was proposed
that Dawson Law, the runner-up
to Laura Matson, be appOinted to
fill the position. While no' one ar­
gued against Mr. Law's capability
4 the Pioneer Log, April 16, 2004 to assume the office, a near-unan­
imous consensus was reached
that since ASLC was using a
power not specifically defined we
needed to produce an open and

would irresponsi ble of ASLC to

in Thayer. At that time, Council
will debate the prospective can­
didates and select one for an ap­

dents to attend and witness their

The Community Trade Co-op Has a New Vision
for Creating Community at Lewis and Clark
The Community Trade Co­
op is a student organization
pursuing a vision of a student
designed and managed store
that will, in the short term, be
located in Theyer collaborat­
ing with the student lounge,
and could in the long term be
located where the Trail room is
now. The group has been work­
ing with the Templeton Renova­
tion Committee to implement
their vision into the committees
blueprints that are currently be­
ing drawn up. The Renovation
Committee is currently putting
a large amount of time, energy
and money into giving Temple­
ton a facelift this summer as
well as next summer.
The Co-op has been working
for months to create a pamphlet
that details what they want the
store to look like and what they
want to accomplish through the
creation of a student run store.
According to the Co-ops mis­
sion statement "The Co-op will
make available community and
global trade with an environ­
mental consciousness. In addi­
tion, the Co-op will provide the
community with a way to ex­
press themselves politically and
artistically . As a result, we hope
to create a closer community
both locally and globally."
How can all these be ac­
complished out of the simple
creation of a student run store?
The fact is the Co-op will be
much more than a student run
store. They call it a cooperative
because it is an entity that sells
students environmentally ' and
socially conscious materials as
a service and not a way to earn
money. According to Frazer la­
nier, a member of the Co-op,
"The Co-op will only focus on
breaking even. Hopefully we
will be able to pay employees
with discounts and incentives
like credit, and simply not hav­
ing an owner or general man-agement will greatly reduce our within the store. The Free box is

-Eternal Sunshine of the S otless Mind: a review
by Dave Muller
Every now and then a movie
comes along that is just a royal
mind-f* * *. Eternal Sunshine oj the
Spotless Mind fits this bill in every
sense of the (uncensored) word.
Watching the movie felt like
someone inserting a coat hanger
into my ear and poking, prod­
ding, and stirring until my brain
was hopelessly violated.
That's just what happens in
the movie, too, except a com­
puter as cold and ruthless as the
enemy robot in Robocop (you
know, the one that looks like a
machine gun-equipped Toyota
Prius sitting on top of two gnarly,
mechanical ostrich legs). You get
to witness this brutal mind-f* * *
in all its excruciating detail, but if
you are able to bear it, a beautiful
love story emerges, virtually free
of all the sappy cliches one would
normally expect replaces the coat
hanger.
For this, we must thank Char­
lie Kaufmann for a brilliant piece
of screenwriting and jim Carrey
for a masterful performance in
the lead role. Michel Gondry did
an okay job as director, too. A
friend of mine, after seeing Eter­
nal Sunshine, said that talented co­
medians are perfect for romances,
since they've made a career out of
explOiting their insecurities (for example, Adam Sandler in Punch
Drunk Love and Bill Munay in
Lost in Translation ).
Eternal Sunshine is certainly
on par with these films, thanks
to Caney's achingly authentic
portrayal of a troubled man in a
troubled relationship. Kate Win­
slet, who plays Carrey's troubled,
impulsive girlfriend, decides to
erase him from her memory after
a particularly nasty confronta­
tion (I won't go into the details
here, that's what the movie is for).
Shocked, hurt, and angry, Caney
decides to undergo the same pro­
cedure.
What follows is a journey
through Carrey's memories of his
estranged lover as they crumble
and disappear. What's worse,
Caney becomes conscious of
what is happening inside his
head, as in a lucid dream, and
he wants to stop the whole pro­
cess. Oops! It's too late. He tries
desperate ly to hold on to each
memory, but one by one they are
ripped from his grasp.
I won't reveal anymore, but
it is not the most serene viewing
experience. It is, however, un­
doubtedly worth it. Eternal Sun­
shine oj the Spotless Mind will work
its way into your brain and re­
main there for days, if not weeks,
and in retrospect, it doesn't hurt.
Go see this movie. Jim Carrey about to get his memories erased by "Dr." Tom Wilkinson in Eternal Sunshine.

On Saturday, Apr. 17, at 7:
OOpm, Forrest David Pierce's
Service oj Shadows will debut in
the Agnes Flanagan Chapel. Dr.
Pierce, an Assistant Professor of
Music, has composed over 100
performed works for all manner
of instruments and voices. The
Service oj Shadows is four inter­
connected works, The Book of
Dark Prayers, opus 4, Vigil, opus
5, Blood Concerti, opus 8, and
The Book of the Younger Brother,
opus 9. All four of the works take
texts from Rilke's Book 'oj Hours as
their inspiration, and many share
thematic material. The Service
oj Shadows is dedicated to loved
ones who suffer, and to the Pres­
ence that sustains them.
"This work stems from the
tradition of Tenebrae, or shadow
service," explained Dr. Pierce.
"I found a composing model in
the way that johannes Brahms
adopted the idea of the requiem
mass to his own ends, when he
set texts of his chOOSing in his na­
tive language as a memorial to his
loved ones."
This four-section work was
composed around texts from
Rilke's Book oj Hours, and the four
parts, written for varying instru­
ments are: The Book of Dark
Prayers, Op. 4, The Book of the
Younger Brother, Op. 9, Blood
Concerti, Op. 10, and Vigil, Op.
5.
A student of Dominick Ar­
gento and Don Freund, Dr. Pierce has also won a number of dis­
tinguished awards in the United
States and abroad. And he re­
cently returned from a term spent
as a Visiting Scholar in Music at
Cambridge University .
