Chair-designate Bates brings
faculty experience to Board
New Chair hopes to
increase communication
between Board, campus
community
by Joe Clock
John Bates will replace Fred
Fields as Chair of Lewis &: Clark's
Board of Trustees when Fields'
term ends on June 1, 2004. Un
der his leadership , Bates hopes
that the Board and the College
will continue to provide the
highest-quality education pos
sible and to increase the level of
contact between the Board and
students, faculty, and staff.
Bates, who became a member
of the Board of Trustees in June
2003, is set apart from other
board members because of his
experience as a faculty member
at Lewis &: Clark. He was an As
sociate Professor of Finance from
1975 to 1981, and an Adjunct
Professor of Finance from 1985
to 1986. Bates has a great deal
of experience in business and fi
nance as well as his background
as a professor.
"My background is quite a
bit different than Fred's ... and
it may be, in the minds of the
Board, that my particular back
ground may be an interesting
background at this point in the
College's career," Bates said, re
ferring to the current Board chair
Fred Fields.
Bates' experience as a fac
ulty member may contribute to
his desire to improve relations
between the Board and the rest
of the campus community. He
stressed that the Board of Trust
ees is very concerned about stu
dent issues.
"It's slightly awkward for PHOTO COURTESY LC PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPT.
John Bates will assume the
chairmanship of the Board
of Trustees on June 1.
Board members to be with the
students, I'd like to overcome
that as much as possible," Bates
said.
Vice President and Provost
Jane Atkinson commends Bates
for his efforts to reach out to the
campus community and to make
the Board more visible.
"The events of the last year re
ally highlighted the need for the
Board members and the faculty,
students, and staff of the school
to feel connected, to have a rela
.tionship so that when you hit a
rocky patch there is already the
basis for communication," Atkin
son said.
Associated Students of LC
President Khai East appreciates
Bates' efforts to listen to student
opinion. "John is very involved
with the students, and seems to
be on all levels," she said.
Overall, Bates hopes that the
College will continue to provide
the best quality education pos
sible to its students in the gradu
ate school and the law school as well as in the undergraduate
program.
"We are at a point where we
have this absolutely beautiful
campus that is growing before
our eyes ... [we have] good stu
dents, the best quality students
we've ever had, and a very strong
faculty. Bringing all of that to
gether I think that it is going to
bring about just what we want,"
Bates said.
Bates values LCs overseas and
off-campus programs very high
ly. As a faculty member, he led
a program to Belgium, the Neth
erlands, and Luxemburg. Since
that time Bates has kept close to
LC's overseas program.
When asked about former
President Mooneys return to
campus, Bates pOinted out that
Mooney had reminded the Col
lege that his contract included
the pOSSibility of returning as
a professor, but that Mooney 's
return was still not a finalized
decision.
Bates called Mooney a "tal
ented scholar," and said that he
would be a valuable addition to
the faculty, although "not with
out some adjustment period."
As Chair-deSignate, Bates has
also become an ex-officio mem
ber of the Presidential Sear.ch
Committee, which recently an
nounced that the field of appli
cants for the Colleges preSidency
has been narrowed to the twelve
most qualified candidates.
Fred Fields has been Chair
sil\ce 2001, and has been highly
praised for his work in that posi
tion. In an e-mail to the campus
community, President Bragdon
wrote, "Fred is a model of civic
commitment and service." 2004-2005 ASLC

Jacket thefts leave
students in the cold M UN conference a success
by Ethan Stone
After a string of coat thefts
from the Boley Law Library and
other locations, Campus Safety
officials are warning students to
be more vigilant of their personal
belongings, especially in public
areas.
Fourteen jackets have been
reported stolen since the begin
ning of the semester, Bill Curtin,
Director of Campus Safety, said.
Of the 14, eleven were taken
from either Boley or Watzek Li
brary. Almost all have been high
end womens jackets valued at
hundreds of dollars, Curtin said.
Curtin speculated that the
thief may be stealing jackets in
order to return them to local out
door stores, several of which pay cash for the clothing.
He recommended that stu
dents keep careful watch over
their personal belongings while
studying in the library.
"I wouldn't leave my jacket
lying around," Curtin said. "At
very least, I'd have someone
watch it for me."
Curtin noted that three thefts
have also occured from unlocked
dorm rooms.
An e-mail sent by Campus
Safety to the campus community
last Monday, Mar. 1 warned stu
dents of the spree in an attempt
to discourage the thefts, Curtin
said. However, five new reports
of jackets missing, including
three from Boley and Watzek li
braries, have shown the thief to
be persistent. by Josh Silverman
Lewis &: Clark College hosted
a Model United Nations confer
ence last weekend for the first
time in over a decade. Bringing
together ' over 75 participants
from four major schools from
the Northwest region, this two
day event has been described by
participants and observers alike
as a success, and showcased an
excellent performance by the LC
Model UN Team, which garnered
two of four Rapporteur honors.
Hosting this conference was
a lOgistical challenge that "went
without a hitch," according to
Landon Mascarenaz('05), chair
of Model UN, and organizer of
the conference. "This is the lon
gest, biggest conference Lewis &:
Clark ever hosted ... afterwards
we were approache d by delegates
from other schools who informed us that this was
one of the best
conferences
they had ever
been to."

reactions by
praising "the excellent organiza
tion" and "wonderful food."
Model UN is a nearly entirely
student-run student organization
and is described by Mascarenaz
as "an experience where college
students assume roles of different
nations and participate in discus
sions pertaining to world events
or issues." Schools choose mem-bers to represent 27 countries in
three different committees: Gen
eral Assembly, Security Council,
and Economic and Social Coun
cil.

preSident Keith West('04) will be
one of three American students
representing the United States in
the National Parliamentary De
bate tournament.
"We did extraordinarily well,"
said Paul Bingham('05) . "No oth
er school came close." In the last
competition, each of LCs tearns
reached the finals, an unusual
and impressive feat. Forensics team president
Keith West will be one of
three American college
students to debate the irish
national team. the Student Representative to the
NPDA. West, who looks forward
to the event, noted, "the Irish are
notoriously witty."
"Keith and I, well, we're an
odd couple, if you will," said
Bingham. "It's a privilege work
ing with him, but its tough."
The two are currently ranked the
best debate team in the nation
and have won four tournaments
in the past year. "I can't imagine
working with anyone else," added
Bingham.
In Parliamentary debate, each
team receives an issue and a posi
tion 15 minutes before beginning
the debate. One side represents
the government side, supporting
the resolution , and one side op
poses the resolution. Each team
presents arguments for their posi
tion while refuting arguments of
the other team.
"It's a fun experience, and
we're always looking for more
people," said Bingham. by Elizabeth Young .
The following crimes were
reported to the Campus Safe

Debate Association (NPDA) was
founded in 1991 in order to help
the Western states hold Parlia
mentary debates, and has since
grown into one of the largest de
bate organizations in the United
States. During the academic
year, several tournaments take
place almost every weekend, and
a debate with the Irish national
team is one highlight of the Na
tionals competition. "It's going to
be a wonderful experience, " said
West. "Its a very good opportuni
ty to talk with people of different
backgrounds about a common
subject." Earlier this spring, applica
tions from across the country
were sorted to find the three most
exceptiona l debaters to form the
American team. The three Ameri
cans were selected based on their
sportsmanship, diplomacy, and
forensic and academic achieve
ment.
"Only three students are cho
sen, and to have one selected
from Lewis &: Clark is a tremen
dous honor," said West, who was
selected due his outstanding fo

separatist group, sparking a pos-
sible military conflict between
the two nuclear powers. Maggie
Reilly(,04), co-chair of the Secu
rity Council, praised Beka Feath
ers and the Timeline Committee,
for doing "a great job orchestrat-
ing the wonderful scenario at the
heart of the conference ." Mas
carenaz described the evening
as "75 delegates running around
solving a security conflict, know
ing that if it isn't solved in an hour
and 45 minutes, war will break
out."
Besides being an organizational
success, the conference displayed
an outstanding performance by
the LC Model UN team. Accord
ing to Reilly, "LC was definitely
more prepared, more articulate, more able to extemporize, more
professional, and more comfort
able with their roles" than any
other team.
The Model UN experience
continues to draw praise from its
partICipants. Beau Barnes('06) ,
delegate from India, related how
he was able to "look more into the
dynamics of how the India-Paki
stan conflict affects India, Paki
stan, U.s., and China," among
others, and described the entire
experience as "pretty coo!."
"The most important thing
about this," according to Mas
carenaz, "is that LC students put
this together with a limited bud
get and limited resources, and put
out one of the best conferences
we've seen in a long time." by Jessica Hopson
The date to nominate a pro
fessor for Teacher of the Year has
been extended to Monday, Mar.
15. This is your chance to honor
a professor who has made an im
portant impact on your academic
career at Lewis &: Clark College.
Every spring, the Pamplin So
ciety of Fellows presents a faculty
member with the Teacher of the
Year award, one of the highest
honors for a professor because it
is a reflection of student admira
tion and appreciation .
To nominate a professor for
an award, write a nomination
describing what it is that makes
that professor so deserving of rec
ognition. In your nomination, be
specific in terms of how the pro
fessor has had an effect on you,
provide anecdotes about how the
professor has gone the extra mile
for you, and put things in context
by describing how you know the
professor. Based on the nominations, a
committee of Pamplin Society
Fellows make the decision about
which professor most deserves
the honor. To the Pamplin Society
judges, quality is more important
than quantity.
Nominati ons should also, in
clude your name, phone number,
mailbox number, e-mail address,

Don't miss the new
theatre production of
"Chekhov!".
I saw the Thea,tre Depart

tled "Chekhov!", last weekend.
It was hilarious. It consisted of
a series of eight playlets, written
by a young Russian doctor who
signed his early comic works
Antosha Chekhonte . While the
theatre world has long recog
nized Anton Chekhov as one
of the greatest playwrights in
history, it has paid much less
attention to his outrageously
funny early creation, Antosha
Chekhonte .
Lewis &: Clark:S new pro
duction of "Chekhov!" has re
stored the name of this talented
young author who entertained
the Russian public for almost a
decade. Anatosha Chekhonte's
exuberant energy turned out
to be contagious for the Lewis
and Clark cast members ; who
kept the audience laughing and
giggling for the length of the
show. The stage deSign, music
and costumes were excellent,
but it was the students' act
ing that deserves my highest
praise. Freshman Taylor Wing
was especially strong in "The
Bear," a one-act farce that tells
the story of a young landowner
who tries to collect a debt from a wealthy, recently widowed heir
ess. Jason Robertson and Chiara
Motley were also impressive in
the slapstick comedy "The Pro
posal," where a nervous young
man tries to propose to a neighbor
girl, only to constantly slip into
fierce arguments with her regard
ing matters not intended for the
occasion. One of the most inven
tive and funny pieces in the show
was "The Sneeze," in which a mi
nor government official (Austin
Watson) sneezes on a prominent
government official Oon Zintei).
"The Sneeze" was a wordless pan
tomime that used puppets along
with the actors. Overall, I truly
enjoyed the new production of
"Chekhov!" and I highly recom
mend it to the Lewis &: Clark
community

Is Lewis & Clark a civic
campus or do we just go
through the motions?
Recently, Political Scientist
Robert Putnam spoke on campus
about the decline of social capital
in America. He argued that the
ties that bind friends and neigh
bors together are growing feeble
as people participate less in their
communities , trust each other
less and have begun to pursue individual goals more. Putnam
challenged the Lewis &: Clark au
dience to be innovative in shaping
the organizations and frameworks
that link us together.
For many years, Lewis &: Clark
College has used monetary incen
tives to encourage us to be active
in the campus community. Re
wards such as leadership schol
arships and free room, and board

Let's catch the jacket thief
by John Koehn
It has recently been brought
to my attention that a veritable
crime wave is sweeping the cam
pus. Over the past few weeks,
nearly a dozen jackets (coats, if
you will) have been stolen from
across campus.
What is most perplexing
about this crime is: who would
steal a jacket in the springtime?
Why not a nice pair of sandals?
Nevertheless, I will share with
you my theory about who this
criminal is and my brilliant plan
of how to catch him.
After careful thought I have concluded that the Jacket Thief
is none other than the infamous
Tryon Creek Flasher (also known
as the Watzek Flasher).
Perhaps this flasher is not a ma
licious miscreant , but rather just a
fellow who easily misplaces things
(like his clothes). His motivation
for stealing jackets is clear: he is
modestly trying to 'cover up. Why
does he keep stealing jackets? Be
cause he keeps lOSing them (do
you see a pattern here?)
My solution to all of this is
twofold. First, I propose a jacket
stakeout to catch this elusive fig
ure. I'll just set my jacket at a
table in the library, hide behind
The Minority View a stack of Mother Jones magazines,
(so no one will ever see me) and
wait for the perpetrator to stri~e.
After catching the flasher/thief ,
we should not punish him; we
should help him. We should do
what our parents did when we
kept losing our mittens on the bus
home from school (no, not throw
a bottle of whiskey at us and
threaten adoption) -let's tie all of
his clothes to his jacket. Then we
can tie his jacket around his neck
and voila! -problem solved.
Stay tuned for next week when

time, there is an abundance of
poorly attended movie nights all
the time in the residence halls,
as residence assistants look to
meet heir quotas for the semes
ter. By setting a fixed number of
activities that residents' assistants
have to plan, the activities are be
ing stripped of their quality, and
as a result the amount of people
who show up to the activities has
decreased . Lack, of large, quality,
organized activities has resulted
in making on and off campus par
ties the popular source for week
end fun.
To stem the tide of underage
drinking and parties in the resi
dence halls and students going off
campus for fun, Residence Life is
compelling students' who have
been written up to plan activities.
Instead of watching a video or
hearing a former alcoholic speak,
students can now plan an activity
to prove that it is possible to have
fun without spending the night
drinking.
As a result, students who live
on campus should be prepared to
be bombarded with movie nights
and ping pong tournaments as
the semester winds down and
students try to take care of getting
the activities they have to plan,
out of the way.
However, as we all rush to take
. care of the activities we have to
organize so we can get back to our regular responsibilities of
studying, work, and of course,
on and off campus parties, per
haps we should evaluate if com
pelling students to plan more

One man's mission gives LC world's largest
collection of Lewis and Clark-related books
After nearly two de
cades of work, Roger
Wend lick's collection
of books relating to the
Lewis and Clark Expedi
tion is coming to stay at
the College.
by Craig Beebe
Roger Wend lick had an obses
sion. It came suddenly, through a
course of events that now seems
funny when he talks about it. But
in the grip of this obsession, he
was almost like a prisoner; his ev
ery action and dollar contributed
to his addiction.
No, he wasn't doing drugs. In
stead, he had a far more danger
ous habit: books about the Lewis
and Clark Expedition. He evenThe Beginning of an
Obsession
By 1980, he had saved up a lit
tle money, and made a little more
off the booming silver market.
One evening that summer, he was
looking at his china cabinet when
he saw the plate. And suddenly a
light bulb went off.
"I thought, 'I wonder if there's
anything else from that fair,'" he
recalls. What he found amazed
him-and he amazed the owner
of one shop, when he offered
to buy everything the man had
(about 100 pieces) for $2,300.
"It was one cardboard box full
of stuff," he recalled. "Napkins,
spoons, trinkets, photos, a couple
of books. I went home and started

about Lewis and Clark
(every edition, every
language) except three,
which has now been sold
to Lewis &: Clark College.
It was living a dream that ~~~
along the way sometimes
became a nightmare .
Wanderlust
It all started with a
commemorative plate
from the 1905 Portland
Worlds Fair, celebrating
the centennial of the Lew
is and Clark Expedition,
which Wend lick received
from his grandmo ther's
estate in 1976. At the
time, he was a wanderer
in his mid-twenties and
wondering where his life
was going. He had at
tended college for a year,
then dropped out and
worked as a forest ranger.
He almost went back to
school, before an acci
dent nearly took his life. Roger Wendl.ick reenacts a mo~ent
He had been a nightclub from the LeWIS and Clark expedition.
entertainer , a surveyor in
Seattle, and a wine steward in his
godfathers restaurant in Portland.
When he received the plate, he had
just returned from a year traveling
through Europe, with a guitar on his
back and wanderlust in his mind.
"I wanted to be famous,"
Wendlick said, with a passion in
his eyes that underlined his de
sires at a younger age. "I just had
to find my way."
It took a while. He got a job
working as a construction fore
man-"the best money I could
make without a college career,"
he said, noting that he never was
much of a student. An accident
took the tip of his finger and
another broke his back, putting
him out of work for a while. But
he was accustomed to pain, and
through it all his mind was still fo
cused on finding something in which
to invest his time and money. Apparently it was, because
from there his collection bal
looned into the largest collection
of Lewis and Clark books on the
planet. In the next 18 years, he
would bum through 16 credit
cards. He would refinance his
home three times. He would
make friends with book dealers
and collectors everywhere.
From California to
Connecticut
It wasn't until 1986 that books
became the focus. "I wasn't a book
guy," he said. One day he was of
fered a two-volume set of the jour
nals of the Expedition , published
in 1814, for $1,000. He hesitated,
but accepted-the beginning of a
dangerous habit.
A few months and a few books
later, he thought he was doing well,
when a bookseller told him that he
would never get "everything." "You know something, I'm
gonna find every book ever writ
ten about Lewis and Clark," re
sponded Wend lick. He stormed
out of the store. His mission had
begun.
In 1988 he began to discover
how large the book dealing sub
culture really was. "It's one of the
finest societies of people today,"
he said, referring to the honesty
and kindness of the people he
met along the way. And he met
a lot of people, from Portland to
San Jose, CalifOrnia, to New Ha
ven, Connecticut.
Wend lick spent a lot of money,
too. In 1988 he bought $3,000 pulled off a miracle.
Almost immediately
he paid off his debts,
and quit his job as a
foreman. He became
a student of the ex
pediton, fully reading
through his collection .
Today, he is "living the
American Dream."
''I'm doing what I
want to do, sharing

Mason Jennings returns to Portland Penis
Puppets
Return by Joe Clock
On Saturday evening, Mason
jennings will play at the Aladdin
Theatre. Those of you from Min
nesota-who I assume are already
well versed in jennings' music
may stop reading now.
For the rest of you, Mason
jennings describes his music as
"very acoustic." He plays as part
of a trio of an acoustic guitar, bass
and drums. jennings also has an
interesting singing voice, a kind
of low drawl that still manages to
be melodic.
jennings' current tour follows
the release of his most recent al
bum, Use Your Voice. In response
to pressure that jennings felt to
release very polished and radio
friendly recordings, many of the
tracks on the album were record
ed on the first run through, and
little was added to the trio's sound
through editing.
"I wanted it to sound like I was
playing in my living room, be
cause thats where I play and write
my songs," jennings said. by Ben Waterhouse
For those of you who faith
fully attend Spike and Mike's
Twisted Animation Tour and
thought American Pie was the
crowning cinematic achieve
ment of the 90s we present the
most bizarre performance art
phenomenon since Le Petomane
graced the stages of Paris at the
tum of the last century: Puppet
ry of the Penis, the brainchild of
(what else) two Australians.
Simon Morley and David
"Friendly" Friend started out on
their unbelievably lucrative ca
reers by playing with themselves
in the bathtub. Since then, they
have built their "grand reper
toire of genital gesticulations "
into a touring empire with com
panies in five countries.
As on jennings' previous al
bums, the songs that make up
Use Your Voice generally seem to
address two themes: love and pol
itics. In fact, two of the most no
table songs on the album do well
to exemplify these themes. Mason Jennings perform his songs love and politics to the Aladdin Theater this Saturday. What the hell is this all
about? The answer, for those
of us who have yet to experi
ence the show, vague: "Puppetry
of the Penis leaves women and
men gasping with more than
40 heroic and hilarious penis
installations including the Peli
can, The Windsurfer, The Eiffel
Tower, Loch Ness Monster, and
the signature installation, the
Hamburger," glows the com
panys press release. Puppetry oJ
the Penis will play five shows at
the Aladdin Theater April 6-11-.
Go check it out and, if you don't
mind, drop us an email about it.
I really want to know how they
do "The Hamburger ." "The Ballad of Paul and Sheila"
is jennings' response to the death
of Senator Paul Wellstone and
his wife in a 2002 plane crash.
Wellstone was well respected in
certain circles for his commit
ment to liberal polities, and jen
nings' song does a good job of
expressing an affection one does not know they feel for a politician
until he dies.
"Fourteen Pictures" is a song
about breaking up and the clos
ing off of a part of one's life that it
implies. The song describes quite
well something that everyone has
felt but probably could not be so
eloquent about.
When asked if there was a
connection between the themes
of polities and love in his music,
jennings said, "the connection is just to be engaged with life, I
think that love and politics are
just about caring about things,
caring about life."
Not all of the songs on jen
nings' new album are as heavy
as "The Ballad of Paul and Sheila"
and "Fourteen Pictures," in the
song "Keepin' it Real," jennings
breaks out of his slower folkey,
bluesy, style and lightens up his
lyrics, pointing out that, "there
ain't no rust on the happiness bus."
If this description of jennings'
music sounds appealing, or if one
of your friends from Minnesota
gives a convincing argument for
why I have no idea what I am
writing about and have irrepara
bly damaged jennings' image, you
should go to his concert tomor
row. jennings credits much of his
popularity to his live performanc
es, and tomorrows show should
demonstrate why.

Chair-designate Bates brings
faculty experience to Board
New Chair hopes to
increase communication
between Board, campus
community
by Joe Clock
John Bates will replace Fred
Fields as Chair of Lewis &: Clark's
Board of Trustees when Fields'
term ends on June 1, 2004. Un
der his leadership , Bates hopes
that the Board and the College
will continue to provide the
highest-quality education pos
sible and to increase the level of
contact between the Board and
students, faculty, and staff.
Bates, who became a member
of the Board of Trustees in June
2003, is set apart from other
board members because of his
experience as a faculty member
at Lewis &: Clark. He was an As
sociate Professor of Finance from
1975 to 1981, and an Adjunct
Professor of Finance from 1985
to 1986. Bates has a great deal
of experience in business and fi
nance as well as his background
as a professor.
"My background is quite a
bit different than Fred's ... and
it may be, in the minds of the
Board, that my particular back
ground may be an interesting
background at this point in the
College's career," Bates said, re
ferring to the current Board chair
Fred Fields.
Bates' experience as a fac
ulty member may contribute to
his desire to improve relations
between the Board and the rest
of the campus community. He
stressed that the Board of Trust
ees is very concerned about stu
dent issues.
"It's slightly awkward for PHOTO COURTESY LC PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPT.
John Bates will assume the
chairmanship of the Board
of Trustees on June 1.
Board members to be with the
students, I'd like to overcome
that as much as possible," Bates
said.
Vice President and Provost
Jane Atkinson commends Bates
for his efforts to reach out to the
campus community and to make
the Board more visible.
"The events of the last year re
ally highlighted the need for the
Board members and the faculty,
students, and staff of the school
to feel connected, to have a rela
.tionship so that when you hit a
rocky patch there is already the
basis for communication," Atkin
son said.
Associated Students of LC
President Khai East appreciates
Bates' efforts to listen to student
opinion. "John is very involved
with the students, and seems to
be on all levels," she said.
Overall, Bates hopes that the
College will continue to provide
the best quality education pos
sible to its students in the gradu
ate school and the law school as well as in the undergraduate
program.
"We are at a point where we
have this absolutely beautiful
campus that is growing before
our eyes ... [we have] good stu
dents, the best quality students
we've ever had, and a very strong
faculty. Bringing all of that to
gether I think that it is going to
bring about just what we want,"
Bates said.
Bates values LCs overseas and
off-campus programs very high
ly. As a faculty member, he led
a program to Belgium, the Neth
erlands, and Luxemburg. Since
that time Bates has kept close to
LC's overseas program.
When asked about former
President Mooneys return to
campus, Bates pOinted out that
Mooney had reminded the Col
lege that his contract included
the pOSSibility of returning as
a professor, but that Mooney 's
return was still not a finalized
decision.
Bates called Mooney a "tal
ented scholar," and said that he
would be a valuable addition to
the faculty, although "not with
out some adjustment period."
As Chair-deSignate, Bates has
also become an ex-officio mem
ber of the Presidential Sear.ch
Committee, which recently an
nounced that the field of appli
cants for the Colleges preSidency
has been narrowed to the twelve
most qualified candidates.
Fred Fields has been Chair
sil\ce 2001, and has been highly
praised for his work in that posi
tion. In an e-mail to the campus
community, President Bragdon
wrote, "Fred is a model of civic
commitment and service." 2004-2005 ASLC

Jacket thefts leave
students in the cold M UN conference a success
by Ethan Stone
After a string of coat thefts
from the Boley Law Library and
other locations, Campus Safety
officials are warning students to
be more vigilant of their personal
belongings, especially in public
areas.
Fourteen jackets have been
reported stolen since the begin
ning of the semester, Bill Curtin,
Director of Campus Safety, said.
Of the 14, eleven were taken
from either Boley or Watzek Li
brary. Almost all have been high
end womens jackets valued at
hundreds of dollars, Curtin said.
Curtin speculated that the
thief may be stealing jackets in
order to return them to local out
door stores, several of which pay cash for the clothing.
He recommended that stu
dents keep careful watch over
their personal belongings while
studying in the library.
"I wouldn't leave my jacket
lying around," Curtin said. "At
very least, I'd have someone
watch it for me."
Curtin noted that three thefts
have also occured from unlocked
dorm rooms.
An e-mail sent by Campus
Safety to the campus community
last Monday, Mar. 1 warned stu
dents of the spree in an attempt
to discourage the thefts, Curtin
said. However, five new reports
of jackets missing, including
three from Boley and Watzek li
braries, have shown the thief to
be persistent. by Josh Silverman
Lewis &: Clark College hosted
a Model United Nations confer
ence last weekend for the first
time in over a decade. Bringing
together ' over 75 participants
from four major schools from
the Northwest region, this two
day event has been described by
participants and observers alike
as a success, and showcased an
excellent performance by the LC
Model UN Team, which garnered
two of four Rapporteur honors.
Hosting this conference was
a lOgistical challenge that "went
without a hitch," according to
Landon Mascarenaz('05), chair
of Model UN, and organizer of
the conference. "This is the lon
gest, biggest conference Lewis &:
Clark ever hosted ... afterwards
we were approache d by delegates
from other schools who informed us that this was
one of the best
conferences
they had ever
been to."

reactions by
praising "the excellent organiza

Model UN is a nearly entirely
student-run student organization
and is described by Mascarenaz
as "an experience where college
students assume roles of different
nations and participate in discus
sions pertaining to world events
or issues." Schools choose mem-bers to represent 27 countries in
three different committees: Gen
eral Assembly, Security Council,
and Economic and Social Coun
cil.

"We did extraordinarily well,"
said Paul Bingham('05) . "No oth

competition, each of LCs tearns
reached the finals, an unusual
and impressive feat. Forensics team president
Keith West will be one of
three American college
students to debate the irish
national team. the Student Representative to the
NPDA. West, who looks forward
to the event, noted, "the Irish are
notoriously witty."
"Keith and I, well, we're an
odd couple, if you will," said
Bingham. "It's a privilege work
ing with him, but its tough."
The two are currently ranked the
best debate team in the nation
and have won four tournaments
in the past year. "I can't imagine
working with anyone else," added
Bingham.
In Parliamentary debate, each
team receives an issue and a posi
tion 15 minutes before beginning
the debate. One side represents
the government side, supporting
the resolution , and one side op
poses the resolution. Each team
presents arguments for their posi
tion while refuting arguments of
the other team.
"It's a fun experience, and
we're always looking for more
people," said Bingham. by Elizabeth Young .
The following crimes were

Mar. 7-The Frank Manor

Debate Association (NPDA) was
founded in 1991 in order to help
the Western states hold Parlia
mentary debates, and has since
grown into one of the largest de
bate organizations in the United
States. During the academic
year, several tournaments take
place almost every weekend, and
a debate with the Irish national
team is one highlight of the Na
tionals competition. "It's going to
be a wonderful experience, " said
West. "Its a very good opportuni
ty to talk with people of different
backgrounds about a common
subject." Earlier this spring, applica
tions from across the country
were sorted to find the three most
exceptiona l debaters to form the
American team. The three Ameri
cans were selected based on their
sportsmanship, diplomacy, and
forensic and academic achieve
ment.
"Only three students are cho

separatist group, sparking a pos-
sible military conflict between
the two nuclear powers. Maggie
Reilly(,04), co-chair of the Secu
rity Council, praised Beka Feath
ers and the Timeline Committee,
for doing "a great job orchestrat-
ing the wonderful scenario at the
heart of the conference ." Mas
carenaz described the evening
as "75 delegates running around
solving a security conflict, know
ing that if it isn't solved in an hour
and 45 minutes, war will break
out."
Besides being an organizational
success, the conference displayed
an outstanding performance by
the LC Model UN team. Accord
ing to Reilly, "LC was definitely
more prepared, more articulate, more able to extemporize, more
professional, and more comfort
able with their roles" than any
other team.
The Model UN experience
continues to draw praise from its
partICipants. Beau Barnes('06) ,
delegate from India, related how
he was able to "look more into the
dynamics of how the India-Paki
stan conflict affects India, Paki
stan, U.s., and China," among
others, and described the entire
experience as "pretty coo!."
"The most important thing
about this," according to Mas
carenaz, "is that LC students put
this together with a limited bud
get and limited resources, and put
out one of the best conferences
we've seen in a long time." by Jessica Hopson
The date to nominate a pro
fessor for Teacher of the Year has
been extended to Monday, Mar.
15. This is your chance to honor
a professor who has made an im
portant impact on your academic
career at Lewis &: Clark College.
Every spring, the Pamplin So
ciety of Fellows presents a faculty
member with the Teacher of the
Year award, one of the highest
honors for a professor because it
is a reflection of student admira
tion and appreciation .
To nominate a professor for
an award, write a nomination
describing what it is that makes
that professor so deserving of rec
ognition. In your nomination, be
specific in terms of how the pro
fessor has had an effect on you,
provide anecdotes about how the
professor has gone the extra mile
for you, and put things in context
by describing how you know the
professor. Based on the nominations, a
committee of Pamplin Society
Fellows make the decision about
which professor most deserves
the honor. To the Pamplin Society
judges, quality is more important
than quantity.
Nominati ons should also, in
clude your name, phone number,
mailbox number, e-mail address,
class, and major.
In 2003, Janis Lochner, the
Pamplin Professor of Science,
won the award. Philosophy pro

the previous year. In 2001 Kurt
Fosso, Assistant Professor of Eng
lish won, and in 2000 the award
went to John Krussel, Associate
Professor of Mathematics.
You can send your nomi

Don't miss the new
theatre production of
"Chekhov!".
I saw the Thea,tre Depart
ment:S newest production, enti
tled "Chekhov!", last weekend.
It was hilarious. It consisted of
a series of eight playlets, written
by a young Russian doctor who
signed his early comic works
Antosha Chekhonte . While the
theatre world has long recog
nized Anton Chekhov as one
of the greatest playwrights in
history, it has paid much less
attention to his outrageously
funny early creation, Antosha
Chekhonte .
Lewis &: Clark:S new pro
duction of "Chekhov!" has re
stored the name of this talented
young author who entertained
the Russian public for almost a
decade. Anatosha Chekhonte's
exuberant energy turned out
to be contagious for the Lewis
and Clark cast members ; who
kept the audience laughing and
giggling for the length of the
show. The stage deSign, music
and costumes were excellent,
but it was the students' act
ing that deserves my highest
praise. Freshman Taylor Wing
was especially strong in "The
Bear," a one-act farce that tells
the story of a young landowner
who tries to collect a debt from a wealthy, recently widowed heir
ess. Jason Robertson and Chiara
Motley were also impressive in
the slapstick comedy "The Pro
posal," where a nervous young
man tries to propose to a neighbor
girl, only to constantly slip into
fierce arguments with her regard
ing matters not intended for the
occasion. One of the most inven
tive and funny pieces in the show
was "The Sneeze," in which a mi
nor government official (Austin
Watson) sneezes on a prominent
government official Oon Zintei).
"The Sneeze" was a wordless pan
tomime that used puppets along
with the actors. Overall, I truly
enjoyed the new production of
"Chekhov!" and I highly recom
mend it to the Lewis &: Clark
community

Is Lewis & Clark a civic
campus or do we just go
through the motions?
Recently, Political Scientist
Robert Putnam spoke on campus
about the decline of social capital
in America. He argued that the
ties that bind friends and neigh
bors together are growing feeble
as people participate less in their
communities , trust each other
less and have begun to pursue individual goals more. Putnam
challenged the Lewis &: Clark au
dience to be innovative in shaping
the organizations and frameworks
that link us together.
For many years, Lewis &: Clark
College has used monetary incen
tives to encourage us to be active
in the campus community. Re
wards such as leadership schol
arships and free room, and board
are doled out to get students to be
leaders in existing organizations ,

Let's catch the jacket thief
by John Koehn
It has recently been brought
to my attention that a veritable
crime wave is sweeping the cam
pus. Over the past few weeks,
nearly a dozen jackets (coats, if
you will) have been stolen from
across campus.
What is most perplexing
about this crime is: who would
steal a jacket in the springtime?
Why not a nice pair of sandals?
Nevertheless, I will share with
you my theory about who this
criminal is and my brilliant plan
of how to catch him.
After careful thought I have concluded that the Jacket Thief
is none other than the infamous
Tryon Creek Flasher (also known
as the Watzek Flasher).
Perhaps this flasher is not a ma
licious miscreant , but rather just a
fellow who easily misplaces things
(like his clothes). His motivation
for stealing jackets is clear: he is
modestly trying to 'cover up. Why
does he keep stealing jackets? Be
cause he keeps lOSing them (do
you see a pattern here?)
My solution to all of this is
twofold. First, I propose a jacket
stakeout to catch this elusive fig
ure. I'll just set my jacket at a
table in the library, hide behind
The Minority View a stack of Mother Jones magazines,
(so no one will ever see me) and
wait for the perpetrator to stri~e.
After catching the flasher/thief ,
we should not punish him; we
should help him. We should do
what our parents did when we
kept losing our mittens on the bus
home from school (no, not throw
a bottle of whiskey at us and
threaten adoption) -let's tie all of
his clothes to his jacket. Then we
can tie his jacket around his neck
and voila! -problem solved.
Stay tuned for next week when

time, there is an abundance of
poorly attended movie nights all
the time in the residence halls,
as residence assistants look to
meet heir quotas for the semes
ter. By setting a fixed number of
activities that residents' assistants
have to plan, the activities are be
ing stripped of their quality, and
as a result the amount of people
who show up to the activities has
decreased . Lack, of large, quality,
organized activities has resulted
in making on and off campus par
ties the popular source for week
end fun.
To stem the tide of underage
drinking and parties in the resi
dence halls and students going off
campus for fun, Residence Life is
compelling students' who have
been written up to plan activities.
Instead of watching a video or
hearing a former alcoholic speak,
students can now plan an activity
to prove that it is possible to have
fun without spending the night
drinking.
As a result, students who live
on campus should be prepared to
be bombarded with movie nights
and ping pong tournaments as
the semester winds down and
students try to take care of getting
the activities they have to plan,
out of the way.
However, as we all rush to take
. care of the activities we have to
organize so we can get back to our regular responsibilities of
studying, work, and of course,
on and off campus parties, per
haps we should evaluate if com
pelling students to plan more
activities is really the solution to
. the problem. When people are

One man's mission gives LC world's largest
collection of Lewis and Clark-related books
After nearly two de
cades of work, Roger
Wend lick's collection
of books relating to the
Lewis and Clark Expedi
tion is coming to stay at
the College.
by Craig Beebe
Roger Wend lick had an obses
sion. It came suddenly, through a
course of events that now seems
funny when he talks about it. But
in the grip of this obsession, he
was almost like a prisoner; his ev
ery action and dollar contributed
to his addiction.
No, he wasn't doing drugs. In
stead, he had a far more danger
ous habit: books about the Lewis
and Clark Expedition. He evenThe Beginning of an
Obsession
By 1980, he had saved up a lit
tle money, and made a little more
off the booming silver market.
One evening that summer, he was
looking at his china cabinet when
he saw the plate. And suddenly a
light bulb went off.
"I thought, 'I wonder if there's
anything else from that fair,'" he
recalls. What he found amazed
him-and he amazed the owner
of one shop, when he offered
to buy everything the man had
(about 100 pieces) for $2,300.
"It was one cardboard box full
of stuff," he recalled. "Napkins,
spoons, trinkets, photos, a couple
of books. I went home and started

about Lewis and Clark
(every edition, every

which has now been sold
to Lewis &: Clark College.
It was living a dream that ~~~
along the way sometimes
became a nightmare .
Wanderlust
It all started with a
commemorative plate
from the 1905 Portland
Worlds Fair, celebrating
the centennial of the Lew
is and Clark Expedition,
which Wend lick received
from his grandmo ther's
estate in 1976. At the
time, he was a wanderer
in his mid-twenties and
wondering where his life
was going. He had at
tended college for a year,
then dropped out and
worked as a forest ranger.
He almost went back to
school, before an acci
dent nearly took his life. Roger Wendl.ick reenacts a mo~ent
He had been a nightclub from the LeWIS and Clark expedition.
entertainer , a surveyor in
Seattle, and a wine steward in his
godfathers restaurant in Portland.
When he received the plate, he had
just returned from a year traveling
through Europe, with a guitar on his
back and wanderlust in his mind.
"I wanted to be famous,"
Wendlick said, with a passion in
his eyes that underlined his de
sires at a younger age. "I just had
to find my way."
It took a while. He got a job
working as a construction fore
man-"the best money I could
make without a college career,"
he said, noting that he never was
much of a student. An accident
took the tip of his finger and
another broke his back, putting
him out of work for a while. But
he was accustomed to pain, and
through it all his mind was still fo
cused on finding something in which
to invest his time and money. Apparently it was, because
from there his collection bal
looned into the largest collection
of Lewis and Clark books on the
planet. In the next 18 years, he
would bum through 16 credit
cards. He would refinance his
home three times. He would
make friends with book dealers
and collectors everywhere.
From California to
Connecticut
It wasn't until 1986 that books
became the focus. "I wasn't a book
guy," he said. One day he was of
fered a two-volume set of the jour
nals of the Expedition , published
in 1814, for $1,000. He hesitated,
but accepted-the beginning of a
dangerous habit.
A few months and a few books
later, he thought he was doing well,
when a bookseller told him that he
would never get "everything." "You know something, I'm
gonna find every book ever writ
ten about Lewis and Clark," re
sponded Wend lick. He stormed
out of the store. His mission had
begun.
In 1988 he began to discover
how large the book dealing sub
culture really was. "It's one of the
finest societies of people today,"
he said, referring to the honesty
and kindness of the people he
met along the way. And he met
a lot of people, from Portland to
San Jose, CalifOrnia, to New Ha
ven, Connecticut.
Wend lick spent a lot of money,
too. In 1988 he bought $3,000 pulled off a miracle.
Almost immediately
he paid off his debts,
and quit his job as a
foreman. He became
a student of the ex
pediton, fully reading
through his collection .
Today, he is "living the
American Dream."
''I'm doing what I
want to do, sharing

Mason Jennings returns to Portland Penis
Puppets
Return by Joe Clock
On Saturday evening, Mason
jennings will play at the Aladdin
Theatre. Those of you from Min
nesota-who I assume are already
well versed in jennings' music
may stop reading now.
For the rest of you, Mason
jennings describes his music as
"very acoustic." He plays as part
of a trio of an acoustic guitar, bass
and drums. jennings also has an
interesting singing voice, a kind
of low drawl that still manages to
be melodic.
jennings' current tour follows
the release of his most recent al
bum, Use Your Voice. In response
to pressure that jennings felt to
release very polished and radio
friendly recordings, many of the
tracks on the album were record
ed on the first run through, and
little was added to the trio's sound
through editing.
"I wanted it to sound like I was
playing in my living room, be
cause thats where I play and write
my songs," jennings said. by Ben Waterhouse
For those of you who faith
fully attend Spike and Mike's
Twisted Animation Tour and
thought American Pie was the
crowning cinematic achieve
ment of the 90s we present the
most bizarre performance art
phenomenon since Le Petomane
graced the stages of Paris at the
tum of the last century: Puppet
ry of the Penis, the brainchild of
(what else) two Australians.
Simon Morley and David
"Friendly" Friend started out on
their unbelievably lucrative ca
reers by playing with themselves
in the bathtub. Since then, they
have built their "grand reper
toire of genital gesticulations "
into a touring empire with com
panies in five countries.
As on jennings' previous al
bums, the songs that make up
Use Your Voice generally seem to
address two themes: love and pol
itics. In fact, two of the most no
table songs on the album do well
to exemplify these themes. Mason Jennings perform his songs love and politics to the Aladdin Theater this Saturday. What the hell is this all
about? The answer, for those
of us who have yet to experi
ence the show, vague: "Puppetry
of the Penis leaves women and
men gasping with more than
40 heroic and hilarious penis
installations including the Peli
can, The Windsurfer, The Eiffel
Tower, Loch Ness Monster, and
the signature installation, the
Hamburger," glows the com
panys press release. Puppetry oJ
the Penis will play five shows at
the Aladdin Theater April 6-11-.
Go check it out and, if you don't
mind, drop us an email about it.
I really want to know how they
do "The Hamburger ." "The Ballad of Paul and Sheila"
is jennings' response to the death
of Senator Paul Wellstone and
his wife in a 2002 plane crash.
Wellstone was well respected in
certain circles for his commit
ment to liberal polities, and jen
nings' song does a good job of
expressing an affection one does not know they feel for a politician
until he dies.
"Fourteen Pictures" is a song
about breaking up and the clos
ing off of a part of one's life that it
implies. The song describes quite
well something that everyone has
felt but probably could not be so
eloquent about.
When asked if there was a
connection between the themes
of polities and love in his music,
jennings said, "the connection is just to be engaged with life, I
think that love and politics are
just about caring about things,
caring about life."
Not all of the songs on jen
nings' new album are as heavy
as "The Ballad of Paul and Sheila"
and "Fourteen Pictures," in the
song "Keepin' it Real," jennings
breaks out of his slower folkey,
bluesy, style and lightens up his
lyrics, pointing out that, "there
ain't no rust on the happiness bus."
If this description of jennings'
music sounds appealing, or if one
of your friends from Minnesota
gives a convincing argument for
why I have no idea what I am
writing about and have irrepara
bly damaged jennings' image, you
should go to his concert tomor
row. jennings credits much of his
popularity to his live performanc
es, and tomorrows show should
demonstrate why.
