Board of Trustees under
fire from students, faculty
Widespread opposition to
Mooney's return voiced;
ASLC President walks
out of meeting with Board
by Ethan Stone
As the lewis & Clark College
Presidential Search Committee
narrows its field of candidates
and the Board of Trustees pre­
pares for a new chairman, ten­
sions among students, faculty,
and the Board are reaching new
levels over former President Mi­
chael Mooney's imminent return
to campus as President Emeritus
and professor. of the College's contractual obli­
gation to Dr. Mooney, and Board
member John Wright claimed
that students' opinions of the
former president were based
on misinformation. East left the
room after minutes of heated dis-
cussion.
"I didn't feel that the conver-
sation was productive , the way it
was going," East said. "It wasn't
a supportive environment for
students' concerns at that point."
However, she noted that several
Board members approached her
the follOwing day to thank her
for bringing ASlC's case to the
Criticism of Mooney's "We have fundamental
decision to return to the sor. The faculty also distributed
a letter to all of the Trustees, ex­
pressing the same concerns.
The controversy over Dr.
Mooney's return has arisen as the
Presidential Search committee
comes closer to a selection of his
successor. An e-mail to the col­
lege community from committee
secretary Tina Blackwell stated
that scrutiny has been narrowed
to the top twelve candidates .
Both the faculty and student
government have expressed the
opinion that Mooneys return
could inhibit the functions and
credibility of the new president.
College has been directed
at the Board of Trustees by
student government and
faculty alike. On Feb. 25,
Associated Students of lC
distributed a letter to the
Board detailing students'
opposition to Mooney's concerns about any return
to this College by President
Emeritus Michael Mooney." The Board, as. well, is
expecting organizational
changes. It was announced
on Mar. 3 that John Bates
will succeed Fred W Fields
as chairman of the Board
in May 2004. Fields has
served as chair since 2001,
and is a personal friend and -letter from ASLC to
the Board of Trustees
presence on campus.
"We have fundamental con­
cerns about any return to this
College by President Emeritus
Michael Mooney," the letter
stated. "The circumstances of Dr.
Mooneys resignation left sub­
stantial wounds in our commu­
nity-among faculty, staff, and
students-and his return will
inhibit the healing process." The
letter advised the Board to con-.
sider students ' concerns and "act
in accordance with the interests
of the College and its students. "
Also on Feb. 25, ASlC Presi­
dent Khai East clashed with
members of the Board of Trustees
at a luncheon intended to im­
prove communication between
the two. bodies. According to
East, members of the Board re­
minded the student government attention of the Board, and many
expressed receptiveness to stu­
dents' concerns regarding Dr.
Mooney.
College faculty have also ex­
pressed apprehension . On Feb.
26, professor Eban Goodstein
(Economics) presented faculty
opinions to the Board, request­
ing that the Board recognize the
faculty's wish that Dr. Mooney
not return, and that the faculty
be consulted before any ben­
efits such as those given to Dr.
Mooney are offered.
The latter request referred to
the agreement made between
Mooney and the College before
his resignation in June 2003,
which included the option of a
return to the college'S payroll as
President Emeritus and profes-supporter of the President
Emeritus.
East hopes that the
Board of Trustees will take the
opinions of the faculty and stu­
dents into consideration . "At this
point in the situation, we're not
sure how the Board is proceed­
ing," she said. "But ASlC will
stay in close contact with [the
College administration] to see
what impact we've made on the
Board and their decision regard­
ing Dr. Mooney."
Mooney reSigned as presi­
dent last June and accepted a
temporary position at a Japanese
university, after an unauthorized
$10.5 million loan to an Idaho
company was discovered. The
company went bankrupt and
defaulted on the loan, leaving the
college community outraged at
the mismanagement of funds and
resulting negative publicity.
Fair offers taste of the world
by Lexie Briggs
This Saturday, in conjunction
with Family Weekend, lewis &
Clark College will host the 39th
Annual International Fair. Stu­
dent-run and coordinated, the
International Fair usually draws
more than 1,000 people.
This years theme, "Around
the World in 80 Minutes," re­
flects the hopes of organizer liv
Halvorsen('05). "You can walk
around Templeton and, in 80
minutes, experience' a little bit of
the world," she said. An all-day'
event, the International Fair has
a variety of activities and per­
formances scheduled. Beginning
at 11 :OOam, individual country
booths will open, offering deli­
cious food at modest prices. One of the country chairs for
Southeast Asia, Clay Eaton('07),
described the food at his booth.
"We will have lumpia (Filipino
spring rolls), nasigoreng (In­
doneSian-style fried rice), Thai
fried bananas, and Filipino fruit
salad," he said.
Events at the booths will in­
clude diverse activities, like fin­
ger painting from North America,
origami from Japan, storytelling
from Israel, and calligraphy from
Japan. Food will include every­
thing from sushi to cotton candy.
At 2:00pm, a fashion show will
feature traditional clothes from
all over the world. After the
fashion show, performances will
last until 4:00pm, showcasing
everything from country western
line danCing, to fan danCing, to a traditional Filipino song.
"It's the perfect melding of
three distinct groups here on
campus," said Eaton. "There are
the internationa l students, the
regular students, and the "Third
Culture Kids" [Americans who
have lived part or a majority of
their lives abroad and have come
to America for school] ."
Halvorsen explained, "I want
everybody to have fun and expe­
rience diverSity through music,
dance and food. I want them to
take a second look at interna­
tional students and the commu­
nity we live in, who we are and
where we come from. Its kind of
like saying 'Here we are, we want
you to share this with us. '"
The fair will be held in Tem­
pleton and the Chapel. Forum introduces
gender-b Ii nd plan
by Leandra Bernstein
On Monday, Mar. 1, United
Sexualities held a forum to ad­
dress gender-blind hOUSing,
an initiative that would allow
students of all sexual identities
to have the opportunity for eq­
uitable, comfortable · hOUSing.
Currently , Residence life poliCies
at lewis & Clark College dictate
that only students of the same
sex may live together
in undergraduate
dormitories. The pol­
icies do not account
for the, emotional
comfort andJor safety
of students living
outside of the hetero­
normativ e-culture,
students who identify
themselves as queer.
leading Monday'S
forum were active
members of Unisex
Kestryl lowrey('06),
Joe Petroni('05),
and Forest Resi­
dent Director David
Rosengard . They
addressed issues of
equality, comfort,
and discrimination . Residence life so that gender­
blind hOUSing could be intro­
duced on hOUSing forms.. They
also suggested that inter-gender
hOUSing could be addressed in
the future as a part of new stu­
dent orientation. There were
many suggestions made for how
both the student body and the
administration could make inter­
gender hOUSing function effec­
tively at lC, but currently there

action that would
modify existing hOUSing poliCies,
making gender-blind hOUSing an
option for lC students.
"There has been discussion of
this since my sophomore year in
2002," Petroni said, in response
to the time it has taken the ad­
ministration to acknowledge in­
ter-gender hOUSing as a priority.
"I want this to be in place as soon
as possible." I
Director of Residence life Sa­
chiko Vidourek saw the need for
a cross-campus dialogue on the
issue. She and others felt that it is
important to open up a dialogue
in order to hear the concerns of
students who are opposed to or
uncomfortable with inter-gender
hOUSing, and gauge the number
of students who advocate the ac­
tion. When asked what measures
could be taken to bring lC closer
to inter-gender hOUSing, Vidou­
rek responded, "This dialogue
is good progress. The venue to
accelerate the process can be a
number of things."
Some students at the forum
suggested personal e-mails,
petitions, and further dialogues
as means of explOring the issue.
Maura Ross('06) suggested a "pi­
lot program" where a very small
number of rooms would house
roommates of the opposite sex.
Members of Unisex were pre­
pared to offer written copy to are no solid plans for its imple­
mentation . "We can't point to a
situation and say, 'This is how
it's traditionally done,'" remarked
Rosengard . "There's nothing tra­
ditional about it. Its very cutting
edge."
When addreSSing whether or
not gender-blind hOUSing could
be successful, Unisex members
pOinted to the on-campus apart­
ments, which have had an open
gender policy for two years.
Rosengard read aloud the testi­
monial of junior Anna Forsher,
who spent her sophomore year
living in a quad in West Hall with
three men.
Incredibly grateful for the
experience, Forsher felts that
separating roommates based
on gender lis an "archaic" idea.
She wrote, "The assumptions it
makes about the inherent natures
01 men and women, based upon
strictly binary definitions of gen­
der, seem highly backward on a
campus that claims to be pro­
gressive and open to diversity."
There were no students at
Monday's meeting who expressed
discomfort with the idea of gen­
der-blind hOUSing, though that
is not to say that these people
do not exist. Interested or con­
cerned students are encouraged
to participate in future dialogues
to express their opinions. • r--~=-Pl-·o-n-ee-r~---~N e WS--------

On Tuesday, Mar. 2, student
group budgets for the 2004-2005
school year were announced by
the Chartering and Budgeting
Commission and ASLC Execu­
tive Council, which has not yet
approved the budget and fi­
nalized the amounts given to
groups.
In an emergency session of
the ASLC Executive Council on
Wednesday, the Council voted
to send the budget back to the
CBC, with the recommenda­
tion that $3,000 be taken from
the Council's budget and reallo­
cated to other groups. The sug­
gestion proposed that $2,000 of
that money be given to the Club
Sports Council for their Contin­
gency Fund, while the remaining
$1,000 go to College Outdoors .
The CBC is composed of ASLCs Vice President for Budget
and Finance, the Vice President
for Student Organizations, and
10-12 students who apply for po­
sitions on the Commission . This

Campus housing
pol icy questioned
by Joshua Kahn and Libor
Jany
Recently, students have raised
concerns about Lewis and Clark
Colleges residency policy.
Currently, the policy requires
students to live on campus for
their first two years. The few ex­
ceptions made include students
residing in the area, students aged
21 or older, or those with spe­
cial circumstances. According to
Residential Life documents, "the
basic goals in offering residential
living are to provide students
with food and a comfortable place
to live, study, and learn."
However, many students say
that after completing the first year
of required residence , they have
experienced campus life and are
in a position to choose their place
of residence.
"I can understand why you
would want to stay on campus
longer, but you should at least be
given the option [to live off-cam­
pus] ," Alex Etra('06) said.
When the policy was instated
12 years ago, the motives were
two-fold, said Sandi Bottemiller,
Director of Residential Services. "National research has shown
that students do better academi­
cally and SOcially while living on
campus," she said, but admitted
that part of the Original motiva­
tion was a financial one.
"The school has overbuilt
dorms, and now it needs to fill
them," said Etra.
There are 1,145 spaces for
residents on campus. Most stu­
dents, living in double-occupan­
cy rooms with 14-flex meal plans,
pay about $3,550 yearly for room
and board. Bottemiller said that
students can often find more af­
fordable off-campus hOUSing, but
stood firmly in her belief that the
school's policy is more beneficial
for the student.
Lisa Williams, a Residence As­
sistant, said that "living on cam­
pus has more positive values than
drawbacks , and those life skills of
living in a house can certainly be
experienced in junior and senior
years."
Comparable liberal arts col­
leges agree with the policy. Many
require students to live on-cam­
pus for as many as four years, and
almost all colleges require at least
one year of on-campus residence.
2 the Pioneer Log, March 5, 2004 jessica Lazar('06) holds the office
of Vice President of Student Orga­
nizations.
Student groups apply for a
budget from the CBC, request­
ing a minimal and an optimal
amounr of money and justifying
their request in an interview in
front of the commission.
Once the interview process
is completed, the commission
spends a Saturday debating how
it will allocate the next years stu­
dent fees. This year, the process
took the commission 13 hours to
complete.
According to Atkin, the CBC
began by budgeting each group
based only on the amount of
money they felt that the group
deserved. However, the to­
tal budget that CBC arrived at
through that process was more
than $90,000 higher than the
projected amount of student fees
available next year. The CBC then
went back through the budgets
and reduced them to an amount
equivalent to the projections for
next years student fees.
After the CBC finishes with
the budget, it is submitted to the
ASLC Executive Council for ap­
proval, a vote requiring a simple
majority. This year, in an effort
to give student groups one more
chance to make their arguments
heard before the budget goes to
its final vote, ASLC sponsored a
forum shortly after the tentative
budget was made public. The
decision to recommend a reallo­
cation of ASLCs proposed budget
was influenced in large part by
this meeting. Beat\~

SAAB: Not really a
German automaker
by Anna Forsher
Not unlike Thomas the Tank
Engine, the industrious locomo­
tive that could, SAAB has been
chuggin' along like nobodys bUsi­
ness. Here's what the conductor
has to say.
This week we funded two
amazing ventures. The first grant
was awarded to April Lapotre,
Casia Freitas, and Mihana Diaz,.
three Psychology students in the
Behavioral Health &: Social Psy­
chology (BHS) Lab. For the past
two years, they have been col­
laborating on research regarding
emotional intelligence and emo­
tional competence , an emerging
area in the field of psychology .
They were selected to present
their work at the Western Psycho­
logical Association (WPA) Con­
vention next month in Tacoma,
Washington, a high honor for
undergraduate students. Their
SAAB grant will cover travel and
board costs.
The second grant was awarded
to Dan Sanderman, a Philosoph y
major who submitted a paper
to the American Philosophy As­
sociation (APA) and was invited
to present it at the organization 's
annual conference in Pasadena, California . His advisors told
him that the submission would
be "a shot in the dark," and, in­
deed, S~nderman's admission to
the APA conference is unprec­
edented. As far as anybody can
tell, no undergraduate 's work has
ever been accepted by the organi­
zation. Sanderman will also be
presenting his work at the Phi­
losophy Department colloquia on
Apr. 7. His SAAB grant will cover
travel and board costs for the APA
conference. Congratulations to
this weeks grantees!
On Saturday, Mar. 6 we will
be hearing the grant hopefuls for
Arts Expression. Best of luck to
everybody who is applying!
Seen those flyers with the cast
of "Cheers"? You know what that
means, right? No, don't get the

Research grant! Grant applica­
tions are due on Wednesday , Mar.
17 by 5:00pm. Please have all
the necessary forms turned in;
applications submitted without
letters of recommendations or
the proper signatures will not be
accepted. Talk to your advisors

Letters to the editor
Let's have some library
etiquette please
I've been involved with Au­
brey for nearly four y~rs now.
You probably know him as
Watzek, or the impersonal "li_
brary," but he and I have been
on a first-name basis for quite
some time. I spend more time
with Aubrey than just about
anyone.
You know me. I'm the per­
son who sits at the same table
every day. I walk around in my
socks. When I visit Aubrey, I set
up camp with stacks of books,
lunch and dinner, and a Nal­
gene I keep getting up to refill.
I know all the people who sit
around me-the regulars who
are bound by Aubrey's love.
We're there early in the morn­
ing and through the night. We
watch the computers of our
fellow table-brethren, and we
never take each other's tables.
We hate reading days when
the hoards descend-it's like
Christmas or Easter at church
when the lapsed come to
cleanse their souls and assuage
their guilt. We know that you
can't make up for a semester of
Aubrey neglect with a Reading
Day or two, folks.
I am also the one who asks
you to keep your voice down
when you're talking to your
friends in the quiet section. I'll
shoot a dirty look to the person
who answers a cell phone and
proceeds to have a full volume
conversation . And I'm not
apologizing for that look.
I'm not whining either. In
fact, I'm demanding. I'm de­
manding that standard library
protocol be upheld. Who has
grown up in a world where a
library is a social place? We've
got Maggie's, the new student
lounge, the Platteau. There are
plenty of places to socialize on
campus, hell, there are places
in the library to socialize. But
most of Aubrey is for study­
ing, for peace and quiet, and
I will never apologize or feel guilty for demanding that from
my peers.
Keep your damn cell phone on
vibrate. Go outside to answer it, if
answer it you must. Take a study
break for a conversation but go
somewhere else to have it. That's
not too much to demand. When
I.graduate this spring and tell Au­
brey goodbye, I'll continue to seek
out places of solitude, of quiet­
havens from the real whiners who
can't survive without electronic
leashes and think that full volume
is permissible in libraries.
Marissa Reddy, '04
Reaction to the Mystery
Box comment
I'm writing concerning the
mystery box comment in last
week's paper. I realize the box is
a place where people comment
anonymously, but so much mis­
understanding surrounds the Zero
Awards, the BSU, and racism that
I need to say something.
I've talked to many people who
were offended by the comment
and wished it hadn't been pub­
lished. I've also talked with the
author who, from what I gathered.
didn't understand why it would
incite anger.
The frustration people feel in
reaction to the comment is based
on the struggles of people con­
fronting racism, and this campus
can benefit from learning about
their anger. Here are a few rea­
sons the comment was offensive:
1. Misunderstanding of the
Zero Awards. The Awards high­
lighted the lack of diversity
among faculty at LC. They had
nothing to do with the cleaning
service. The lack of faculty of
color is caused by white privilege
and racial exclusion in education.
and that is what the Zero Awards
are meant to address.
There are many people on
campus who feel that lack of di­
versity is a flaw of this school and
who are working to fix that flaw.
You can imagine their frustration when people don't understand
this issue despite efforts to ad­
dress it.
2. Hurtful humor. A lot of
people interpret the comment
as an intended joke. Underlying
their outrage is a strong sense of
the seriousness of racism. The
ironic fact that the most diverse
element of campus life is its clean­
ing service illustrates the painful

3. Turning diversity into the
BSU's problem. The comment's
focus on what the BSU "forgot"
turned a campuswide awareness
issue into an issue of the BSU's
inadequacy. The BSU awarded the
Zero Awards, but lack of diversity
is everybody's problem. Framing
the Awards in terms of the BSU's
errors exemplifies racist reason­
ing that blames people of color
for unequal representation caused
by racism. The BSU's intent is to
get people thinking about diver­
sity, not to debate who should get
awards and who shouldn't.
Those are some reasons why
people found the comment of­
fensive. I trust that as people with
good intentions. LC affiliates will
learn from this explanation and
respect people's viewpoints.

Unhappy with the Pio­
neer Log Mystery Box
I am writing to show my
displeasure of the mystery box
pUblished by your newspaper. I
am writing independent of any
group and the views expressed
in this letter are purely mines.
I have been at Lewis Cst Clark
for four years and I have never
been so offended by a Piolog ar­
ticle. I cannot believe that you
printed such a racist statement
by a coward who is to scared to
reveal hislher identity. The zero
awards attacked a serious subject
on campus and you allowed this
ignorant person to make a mock­
ery of it. It is not funny to mock
the mostly minority cleaning staff
The Minority View (I say mostly because there are a
number of white people on the
staff as well). Many of them are
poor and this is the only job that
they can get. I feel as though the
editor of the paper is attempting
a William Hearst type of instiga­
tion, just to revive an argument on
campus. You can cry free speech
all you want, but that does not
excuse the printing of this state­
ment. I am sure that there were
other mystery box submission yet
you chose the most offensive and
the most racist. My question is
why? Why would you choose to
print such an offensive article? I
know that the piolog staff is not
stupid and must have known that
this article would have caused a
controversy. There is such a thing
as responsible journalism . Yet the
piolog has shown that it has no
clue what it means.

We can improve energy
conservation at Lewis &
Clark
It is amazing that a campus
that prides itself on its liberalism
and environmental friendliness
can still be so careless about its
use of energy. Lewis Cst Clark's
compliance with the terms of the
Kyoto Agreement is a wonderful
step in the right direction, but it
does not mean that the environ­
mental problems from excessive
consumption of energy have
been solved. Though our energy
may now come from a' source
that is more "environmentally
friendly," the energy we consume
does not suddenly benefit the
environment. On the weekends
after hours in the library all of
the computers are left on despite
the fact that no one will be using
them for sometime over a full
twelve-hour period. The lights in
Fields dining hall remain on at all
hours, long after meal service has
ceased and workers have gone
home. What we lack as a Lewis
Cst Clark conuilunity is the ef­
fort to work towards conserving unused energy on campus. A
further step to ensure sufficient
use of energy would l:>e turning
off the computers in the library
and in the Dubach labs when
students are not using. these fa­
cilities. By doing so, we've fur­
thered our efforts in conserving
energy. While the members of
this college community pride
themselves on their concern for
the environment, there is still so
much more that could be done
in terms of effective use of en­
ergy.

Climate change affects
everyone
Climate change research has
traditionally focused on the
long-range effects of a gradual
warming of the. earth's atmo­
sphere, but lately, scientists are
looking instead at the possibility
of severe, rapid repercussions
as a result of abrupt climate
change. What might happen if
the expected global temperature
leap of a few degrees brought
the climate to a "tipping point"?
The forecast doesn't look good:
a recent report prepared by
the Pentagon suggests that it is
entirely possible that the Gulf
Stream ocean current, which
warms Europe and keeps higher
latitudes there temperate, could
shut down. To the Pentagon ,
the ramifications of this shut­
down are an issue of national
security; to all of us, they should
be an issue on many fronts.
Here are a few things that the
Pentagon reports might hap­
pen by 2020 if the Gulf Stream
began to collapse beginning in
2010: Mega-droughts in the
U.S. China is hit by devastating
floods. Much of Bangladesh be­
comes uninhabitable because of
rising sea levels. Average rain­
fall in northern Europe has de-
continued on p. 5 .

We finally figured out how to solve the
diversity problem among faculty and staff. We had ten professors trade places with
ten members of the cleaning staff. What's funny is that teacher evaluations
have never been better ...

Nader runs again
by Craig Beebe
It appears that presidential
candidate Ralph Nader may have
some difficulty this time around.
With stories 'reporting that he
is having problems even getting
enough signatures to be on the
ballot in many states, support
seems quite limited. An infor­
mal poll of students around cam­
pus also confirmed this belief. I
found it nearly impossible to find
a Single student who was sup­
portive of the candidate.
Last Sunday, when Ralph Nad­
er announced his candidacy for
the presidency , a host of liberals
around the country covered their
eyes with their hands, in obvious
distress at the potential of the
now-indepe ndent candidates po­
tential to ruin the election for the
Democratic Party. Nader clearly
hasn't outlived his reputation as a
vote-stealer , after the 2000 elec­
tions in which he appeared to
have taken votes that would have
gone to Al Gore. Although he de­
nies any such accusation, the per­
ception among many Democrats
seems to indicate it at least holds
some truth.
Nader clearly hasn't
outlived his reputa­
tion as a vote-steal­
er, after the 2000
elections in which
he appeared to have
taken votes that
would have gone to
AI Gore.
Here on campus, student reac­
tions to Nader have been muted,
especially compared to the situa­
tion in the 2000 campaign, when
prominent PioLog editorials
endorsed the candidate and nu­
merous students spoke out in his
favor. For a campus that only a
.little more than a year ago hosted
the man as a prominent speaker,
it appears the Nader has lost a lot
of his support. Even the Campus
Greens'seem to have abandoned
him. "I will not be voting for
Nader," said Tyler Noonan, a
member of the group. "While normally I vote on prinCiples and
would vote Nader, the only prin­
ciple I have this election is getting
Bush out of office," he added.
Indeed, the theme of getting
Anybody But Bush seems preva­
lent among lC students, and for
many Nader is seen as a hindrance
to that goal. "l:ie'll probably split
the vote," said sophomore jane
Endicott. "Thats usually what a
third party candidate does."
A number of other students
shared this opinion. "Of course
he'll split the vote," said Kestral
lowry, a freshman .
Still, some students disagreed,
calling the Nader candidacy a le­
gitimate bid for preSident, even if
they didn't personally support his
bid. "He's an amazing man with
amazing ideas," said Erin Cur­
rie, a freshman . "He would be a
wonderful preSident. " However,
she stopped short of endorSing
his current run. Though she in­
sisted that "stealing votes" wasn't
the right phrase to use, she was
still cognizant of Nader's potential
to split the vote. "I don't support
his campaigning [this time]," she
said.
junior Wes jones, while say­
ing he wouldn't personally vote
for Nader, also disagreed with
the notion that he steals votes.
"He appeals to a certain demo­
graphic," Jones said, noting the
importance of that third option in
the run for preSident.
And, of course, there were
many who claimed ignorance .
"1 don't really know what's hap­
pening [in the election]", said
freshman Heather Robins, a view­
point shared by her friend Carrie
Centiivre, also a freshman .
Nader's candidacy may be a
topic of intense political debate in
the days to come, as spinsters and
analysts look deeply into his cur­
rent bid. Will he undermine the
Democrats, or bring to the table
issues that otherwise would be
ignored, as his supporters claim
he did in the last election? Will
he even be able to gather the sig­
natures needed to find his way
onto the ballot? As the heat of the
campaign piCks up, it will be in­
teresting to see what effect, if any,
Nader has on the election. But
with little support even among
the liberal students of lewis &:
Clark, it seems unlikely that his
role will be as major as it was the
last time around. Ralph Nader: give him your
support -not your vote
by Josh Silverman
Ralph Nader -the consumer
advocate turned liberal prophet
turned election spoiler -is at it
again, ap.d this time hes doing it
alone. What gives?
Even those who supported
Nader in 2000 are quite puzzled
over his decision to run. But up
until a month, ago, Democrats
were rallying behind Dean. They
soon lost their nerve, fearing
Deans liberal politiCS made hirn a
less electable candidate, and duti­
fully shifted their support behind
Kerry. Once again, the Democrat­
ic Party is pushed to the right,
hoping to appeal to voters from
both parties. Neo-liberalism 2.0.
Enter Ralph Nader. Now
Kerry has to contend with lOSing
votes to disenfranchised liberal
Democrats as well, Democrats
who would like to see the party
retuITl to its more populist roots.
Nader's announcement to run set
off a hailstorm of criticism for
they fear he will once again act
as a spoiler. The Democrats are
terrified of this man, and frankly,
that's a good thing.
Many critics contend that
Nader's timing is simply way off -
th'at they generally agree with his
views but that they are not willing
to risk another four years of Bush.
But Americans care about politiCS

the temperature has fallen up

Nuclear arms proliferation is
"inevitable " in a global struggle
to defend scarce resources .
Sounds scary, doesn't it? And
as tbe Fortune article reporting
the Pentagon documents notes,
"In 2001 an international panel
of climate experts concluded
that there is increasingly strong
evidence that most of the global
warming observed over the past
50 years is attributable to hu­
man activities ". The power is
in OUR hands to keep these sce.­
narios from becoming reality.
One way you can begin to
make a difference is by joining

LiZ Fehrenbach, '05 once every four years. It is dur­
ing these election years that the
real political issues are brought
up, and when the politiCians are
forced to act receptively to the
voting populace. The fad that
people are scared means politi­
cians are noticing.
Democrats are afraid that
Nader's arguments might actu­
ally seem compelling to voters
-compelling enough to garner
votes -and this is going to force
Democrats to deal with these is­
sues and (hopefully) develop
compelling argumei·J.ts of their
own. This is going to force Kerry
to rely on more than the fact that
he is not Bush to maintain liberal
support, and this is a good thing
in an election that is going to be
spent courting center and right-
of-center voters. .
Nader has wisely chosen cam­
paign politicS as his soapbox, a
platform from which he can speak
and the parties are forced to listen
and respond. He is a campaigner,
not an electable candidate, but he
can use his position as a spoiler to
reposition the other candidates.
It is because of his outsider status
that he can campaign in a way
electable candidates only wish
they could. He can bring respond
to politically loaded issues -slave
reparatio ns, war in Iraq, universal
healthcare, capital punishment -
A response to Ryan Ess­
man of "Student Govern­
ment for Students"
I am deeply troubled by your
recent Pio-log letter to the editor.
I have concerns about the spirit
and legitimacy of the letter, the
group Student Government for
Students, and their accusations
against me.
I am currently the ASLC Stu­
dent Representative and Com­
mittee Coordinator . By failing
to nominate me as one of the
people who meets your "criteria"
you are, in effect, saying that I
have not met these criteria in
the way I have carried out my
responsibilities thus far. You are
asserting that I am "fractUring the
community with radical political
initiatives that will be undertaken
using student funds, regardless
of whether all students believe
in these causes." You are assert­
ing that I am in direct breach of
my responsibilities by attempting
to serve my own political ends
rather than the interests of the
students.
These are serious allegations
and I am deeply offended by
them. I have spent the past sev­
eral months working diligently
to improve this school and to
improve student's e.xperience.
Not once have I compromised
by job for personal political agen­
da? I have worked hard to open
Templeton up 24 hours a day
for students, I, along with leigh
Halverson, spent countless hours
negotiating and setting up the
, without the fancy footwork of a
polished politician . He has noth­
ing at stake.
It is because of this, however,
that you should not waste your
vote on Nader. He operates best
as a political mover, not a national
leader. The very fact that he re­
fuses to compromise on his issues
certainly makes him a man with
integrity, but not a man fit to run
the country.
In the best of circumstances ,
he is going to force some key is­
sues on both parties. He is go­
ing to force Bush to respond to
Republicans who are up in arms
with this administrations blatant
fiscal irresponSibility. He is going
to force Kerry to own up to his
voting records on the war in Iraq,
the Patriot Act, NAFTA, and Con­
tract With Americas Private Secu­
rities litigation Reform Act.
But this time around, Nader's
argument that there is nothing
subst.antial distinguishing the two
parties just will not fly, and many
who lent their vote to Nader in
protest in 2004 probably had no
idea what they were risking. Do
not let Nader steal any votes from
Kerry, but allow him to mold him
into a candidate worth electing.
Force him to get dirty. There is
more to being a good Democrati c
candidate than simply not being
Bush, but it is definitely a start.
Thayer Student Lounge, I serve
and give input to the Templeton
Advisory Board, the Templeton
Planning Committ ee, and the
Educational Technology Com­
mitte, and I show up to ASlC
meetings and make sure that
students are always number
one in our discussions . This is
a job that gives little financial
remuneration and less thanks.
I cannot claim to have been the
perfect Student Representative ,
but I have done the best that I
can. What personal gain can
you possibly accuse me of?
I am left in puzzlement.
There does not seem to be any­
thing to substantiate the claims
made against the names that the
Student Government for Stu­
dents decided not to print. In
fact, there seems to be evidence
contradicting those claims.
Due to limited space, I cannot
fully enumerate the evidence
in my, and my running mates,
defense. But the burden of
evidence lies with the Student
Government for Students , who
have not offered any. I, nor
any of the other candidates of
whom I am aware, were con­
tacted by this group. For now, I
must conclude that the Student
Government for Students is
doing little more than fracture
the community themselves by
aggregiously accusing honest
students of corruption . . .

Satire: Pamplin
Fellow Selecti'ons
by Charlie Blackmar
Last fall, once again eight
students received Lewis & Clark
College's highest honor when .
they were inducted into the Dr.
Robert B. Pamplin Jr. Society of
Fellows.
Although there are rumors
that the Pamplin Society selection
committee uses blindfolds and a
dartboard to determine member­
ship, the actual process is a com­
plex scientific formula similar to
America's electoral college, the
Miss America Pageant, and the
NFL quarterback rating.
Finalists are evaluated in a
number of categories, including
leadership, keg stand time, GPA,
badminton ability, a swimsuit
competition , the Pepsi challenge ,
and public speaking.
After the evaluation of the fi­
nalists, a comprehensive vote is
held. For the vote, each member

Paddle Club'teaches, plays
by Valarie Hunsinger
One of the newest and most
dangerous athletic clubs on the
Lewis & Clark campus is grow­
ing as rapidly as the rapids that
its members conquer. The Lewis
& Clark Paddle Club, which was
founded in 1996 by Sam Revo,
an experienced kayaker, was
created for all of LCs water junk­
ies. The club started when a it
received a grant to take students
on one trip. The next year, their
budget increased to a grand total
of $2,550. In 1997, Patagonia
and Wavesport become spon­
sors of the Paddle Club and the
club hosted the Indoor Pool Sla­
lom Nationals. The budget has
increased along with members ,
who have grown today to include
more than 300 people with in­
terests in paddling, 40-50
people who have partici­
pated in the club, and 20
regulars.
For those who were un­
aware that Lewis & Clark
had a Paddle Club, stop
by the Zehntbauer pool on
a Sunday night. The odd
occurrence of paddlers on hydrology, peelouts, eddy turns,
ferries, reading water, and basic
river safety. Once club partici­
pants have attended the three
required sessions, they can apply
their learned skills on the Sandy
River and at Clackamas Park.
The pool is just the start for
water enthusiasts. After acquiring
the necessary skills, the next step
is the intermediate course, which
teaches advanced hydrology, roll­
ing in rivers, and an introduction
to playboating. These courses are
held on beautiful local rivers in­
cluding the Lower Clackamas
and White Salmon.
The third stage, playboating
clinics, allows paddlers to do
amazing advanced skills such
as cartwheels and aerial moves.
In the fall, they took a trip to
Shookumchuck Narrows, Brit-
Sunday nights is what Lo-f:iiii~~~
gan Cookler describes as
"a necessity for learning
the basics." The LC Paddle
Clubs instruction follows
the logical progression of
the American Canoe As­
sociation and the World ish Columbia . Sam Revo, who
was recently featured >on the LC
webpage, describes this level of
achievement in paddling: "You're
about to paddle over a three-story
waterfall, and you don't have time
to think Adrenaline is pumping.
Instinct kicks in. Theres no time
to relax. You accelerate over the
second waterfall, keeping your
boat on top of the water, and
sprint toward the finish line."
The mission of the Lewis &
Clark Paddling Club (LCPC) is
to build awareness of the im­
mense river resources that are
provided for us in the !.'acific
Northwest. Their hope is to bring
people closer to nature through
water. For more information on
paddling, go to their website at

Blood of Christ overshadows positive messages
by Craig Beebe
Entering the movie theater for
The Passion of the Christ, I was im­
mediately hit by a wave of lively
salsa music, and the sight of cou­
ples learning to dance. The danc­
ing was a celebration of another
new movie, albeit one with con­
siderable less clout than the one
I was going to see, but I couldn't
help but stop and watch. Salsa
dancing mans eyes. The blood is so prev­
alent, sometimes the camera itself
looks bloody, as if it had gotten all
over the lens and no one bothered
to clean it up. In one scene, Ro­
man guards are splattered with
blood as they whip Jesus across
the back; and, just when you
think they are done, their leader
flips his hand over. As an audi­
ence of Jewish priests, Mary, and
a couple disciples look on, the
before a It would be hard to crucifix-guards then
flip Jesu~ and
continue beat­
ing him across

the next
two and a
half hours,
I knew, I
would be
in a dark­
ened room
with none
of the hap­imagine that a movie
as bloody as this one
would be acceptable for
so many people, were it
not about Jesus. But, in all
honesty, the
time period
really was very
bloody. Not
being a histo­
rian myself,
py excitement of those dancers in
the lobby. I would watch a man
get arrested, beaten, tortured,
and, eventually, put to death.
At the end, as I stepped into
the now-gray Portland afternoon ,
I was struck by how upset the
audience looked. Together, we
had sat through a film that was
likely difficult for much of the
audience . Many people were cry­
ing, moved to tears by the story of
Jesus' trial and death. Some just
looked sick.
The Passion has generated a lot
of criticism and controversy , es­
peCially for its violence and sup­
posed anti-Semitism. Mel Gibson
has claimed that he wanted it to
be as accurate as possible, so he
included every detail-the char­
acters even speak the languages
of the time: Aramaic and Hebrew.
Any complaints about the gore
and/or anti-Semitic tendencies of
the movie, he claims, are merely
a reflection of what is already the
well-known story of Jesus' trial
and execution. Coming from an
extremely conservative sect·of the
Catholic Church, Gibsons beliefs
clearly gUided him in the making
of the film.
Yes, it's bloody. Very bloody.
Like flesh being ripped from the
body and shown in all its gory
detail. Like crows pecking out a 1 can't really
say how accurate the amount of
gore actually was, but even with
a limited knowledge of the time
period, I can say that Gibson's
portrayal couldn't have been far
off the mark.
As far as the anti-Semitism
goes, I wouldn't say the movie
was overly hostile toward Jews.
As some people have pOinted
out, the Romans are portrayed
in a much harsher light, as sadis­
tic torturers who take an almost
sexual pleasure from beating their
prisoner.
If anything, though, I'd say
the movie is more anti-authority,
or at least serves as a tbol for not­
ing how figures of authOrity have
the ability to whip crowds into a
frenzy over trumped-up charges
and accusations. We watch the
group of Pharisees-Jewish high
priests with long, gray beards and
stone cold faces--exciting the
crowd before Pilate into calling
for Jesus' crucifixion, and we hear
the ominous music that tells us
we should dislike them. We see
Pilate running from responsibil­
ity, washing his hands clean of
Jesus' execution when he knows
he is certainly responsible. Later,
we watch the Roman guards beat­
ing and torturing Jesus, and we
are tempted toward hate for them
as well. The common people are

portrayed simply as people whose
lives are affected, but who are not
wholly responsible. They are
more acted upon than acto ring.
This is a hard movie to review,
because of the subject matter
and because of its effects on au­
diences. There are two ways to
approach it: one lOgical and the
other emotional. Logically, we
might say that the film speaks to
a certain period in history, and to
a certain demographic , but is not
altogether definitive in itself. We
might criticize its faults, examin­
ing it objectively, as any good
critic would.
For many Americans, though,
the emotional approach seems
more common. Entire churches
are going to see this film, to use
it in one way or another in their
ministry. Audiences are moved
to tears-a woman sitting next
to me gasped for air each time
Jesus was hit with a whip or fell
while carrying the cross. For
some believers, it seems, speak­
ing badly about this film is akin to
blasphemy. One need only look
at the average rating on Yahoo!
Movies to see how much audienc­
es believe what they are saying.
The average critics' rating: B-.
The average viewers' rating, after
over 27,000 reviews: A. Clearly
this movie is having a major effect
on a lot of people, regardless of
what the critics are saying. Keep­
ing in mind that over 80% of the
country claims to be Christian ,
this is unsurprising, even if seems
to differ from the reality here on
campus.
It would be hard to imagine
that a movie as bloody as this one
would be acceptable for so many
people, were it not about Jesus.
As a film, I thought it had a few
redeeming qualities-the acting
was decent, and I appreciated the
attention to detail in costumes
and scenery. Some of it was
cheesy-if anything other than
the violence was gratuitous, it was
the use of slow-motion , which
must be the lamest tool that film­
makers can employ. Apparently
Mel Gibson has a penchant for it.
I don't think The Passion is by Anne Winchell
When I went to see the Passion
of the Christ, I was shocked at how
violent the film was. Not having
been raised in a strongly religiOUS
family, I knew the Bible stories
but had never really thought
about the exact story of Christ's
death.
The movie had some good
parts. The flashbacks were, for
the most part, enlightening, and
the movie followed the Bible ex­
tremely well in all but one scene.
Luckily, I had some idea of the
story, because the film rarely in­
troduced characters. For the en­
tire film, Jesus is followed around
by two women and a man, with film was taken up by Romans
laughing and talking in untrans­
lated Latin while whipping Jesus.
After an hour of watching a
man being continually beaten,
I was ready to leave. Ribs were
shOwing, puddles of blood were
gathering, and he clearly should
have died several times. But
could the violence end? Oh no. It
was only beginning . By the time
Jesus was finally taken off of the
cross, I was just glad that Mel
Gibson wasn't making a sequel.
Probably the worst part of the
film was seeing a 6-year-old child
leaving the theater after me. I un­
derstand that this film is impor­
tant to many religiOns, but mak­
ing a child witness such horror

of what they
were doing.

stand how

All of the dialogue was in the
original languages, which was
very impressive and helped lend
an air of reality to the film. How­
ever, the dialogue was extremely
brief. The vast majority of the
the greatest film ever made, nor
is it the worst. But I do think it
has the potential to be something
larger than a typical film usu­
ally becomes, because of what
it might have to say about our
culture, which is more Christian
than some would like to admit.
Having initially been refused by
every major distribution compa­
ny, it is playing to full theatres all
around the country.
What does this say about the
American people? If anything, I
think it implies that this country
has been looking for a religiOUS

It gives people a chance to
view themselves as part of some­

argue is the whole point of reli­
gion anyway. For two and a half
hours, the audience is able to
escape the troubles of the world
outside, to immerse themselves in
the suffering of one man held by
many to be the Son of God, and,
Simultaneously, to feel redeemed
by what they are watching. In
Lhat way, The Passion is a very
powerful film, even if it fails to
meet the approval of many pro­
fessional critics.

Last weekend, the 3D Center
of Art and Photography opened
its doors to the public. Volun­
teer Les Konrad called the Center
"part gallery, part museum, and
part gift shop." Currently, the
Center has a 3D vision exhibit on
loim from OMSI, an extensive col­
lection of old stereo cameras and
Kodak View-masters, and a slide
show with 3D photographs from
all around Portland.
Words cannot describe the
charm of this small Center. The
volunteers were incredibly cheer­
ful and knowledgable . It would
be impossible to leave without
knowing more than you did be­
fore you came.
The Center is operated by the
Cascade Stereoscope Club. The
group is made up of about 80
members who operate tbe Cen­
ter on a volunteer basis. The
club branched off from a general
photography club ten years ago.

Tolhurst's "keyboards, beats, and

Levinson's "stirring vocals" in
their debut album Pe/fect Life
(www.levin hurst.com). Such a creative name for the
band (although I would have
gone with Tolinson) does little
to legitimize their music. After I
read the lyrics in the CD jacket,
I was prepared for the worst.

Basketball team breaks even Upcoming Pioneer Sports
March 5: by Zach Mann
Say it ain't so.
The Pioneer men's basketball
team will not be invited to par­
ticipate in post-season action for
the first time in 13 years, much to
the chagrin of several graduating
seniors.
Last Friday's· 68-50 destruc­
tion of the Pacific Boxers ended
the collegiate careers of two LC
super-stars .
Fresh off his Division 1II For­
ward of the Week honors, John
Mietus('04) scored 24 points and
grabbed 15 rebounds , his 19th
double-double of the season.
Mietus was 11 of 14 from the
field, including two blocks and
two steals.
His two blocks moved him
into a tie on the LC all-time
blocks list.
Danny Winchester ('04) also
made his last appearance in Pio orange. Winchester led all scor­
ers with 24, converting 7 of 13
three-point attempts.
He finished his career at Lewis
&: Clark as the all-time best free­
throw shooter.
At .886, Winchester broke a
34-year-old career free-throw per­
centage record held by Jim Rich­
ardson at .869.
. Both players were rewarded
for their play this season.
Mietus was named to the All­
Conference first team, coming up
a few votes short of Player of the
Year honors.
Mietus also made the All-Con­
ference first team in 2002, and
was voted onto the second team
in 200l.
Winchester received an honor­
able mention. Despite receiving
more votes than any other honor­
able mention, Winchester missed
being voted onto the second team
by a mere four votes. The Pios ended up winning
their last two games of the year,
including a 70-56 victory over
Linfield, which snapped the team
out of a three-game losing streak.
The Pios' final conference
record stood even at 8-8; their
overall record was 15-10.
Although the season was not
as successful as some had hoped,
signs of greatness were shown
throughout the season. Beat­
ing Lewis &: Clark State College
twice, a nationally ranked NAlA
team, was impressive to say the
least.
With three starters coming
back, and guard Nate Kaba­
nuk(,06) returning from injury,
the Pioneers will be poised to
make a conference title run next
season.

You CAUGHT MY EYE ...
Peas and radishes have
been neglected ...
Maybe we should do
some gardening together.
The ducks can help.
My haiku is bad
But I find you attractive
Will you print me now?
I think I've scared you a
few times in philosophy ...
but I'm not done talking
to you yet! Hot LC Redhead: I am a
boy in the audience who
can't distinguish you from
your character ...
That shirt you wore Tues­
day in Spanish looked
good. It would look better
on my dirty floor. I'll cook
breakfast.
You aren't a season, but
you still look like the
summer sun to me ...
Seen anyone interesting lately?
