of the campus for many years,
and in 1990, two Lewis &: Clark
College students wrote "A Natu

Clark College Campus" for the
campus community and visitors.
The guide included an explana
tion of the Tree Walk, featUring
over 48 species of trees. Over the
last decade, however, the forces
of entropy have taken their toll
on the Walk. The College now
proposes to repair and reconsti

historical occurrences," Forzley
said.
Professor Hunt spoke for
roughly an hour, charting the
progression of human rights po
litically, legally, and SOCially. She
began with the drafting of the
Universal Declaration of Human
Rights in 1948 and the difficul
ties one has in using rational or
legal arguments to justify specific
human rights. She then directed
her lecture back to eighteenth
century France and charted the .
progression of "natural rigI)ts"
through the French Revolution .
Her analysis focused on lit
erary works and other widely
published French documents ,
which, she argued, led to "an
increasing sense of empathy be
tween psyches across space."
Some were less than im
pressed with this approach.
Joshua Conroy('06) stated, "I like ers such as Jonathan Swift did
this way before Richardson. I
just didn't think it had that much
realistic application."
Additionally , Hunt's European
perspective on human rights did
not sit well with all audience
members . Lewis &: Clark Pro
fessor Mark Rose objected to her
premise that the tangible doc
trine of universal human rights
originated in pre-Revolutionary
France. "Hunt failed to take a
comparative approach . She be
gan and ended with idea that hu
man rights are a purely Western
idea. She never even approached
the possibility that non-Western
cultures dealt with this issue as
well," Rose said.
Not everyone felt that her talk
was particularly Eurocentric .
Stubbs, despite his reservations
about the lecture, felt "[Professor

in honor of Professor Arthur L.

Admitted students experience Lewis & Clark life
by Scott Devlin
ChOOSing a college is one of
the hardest decisions a student
will ever have to make. Deci
sions about distance from home,
class size, academic programs,
and life in general must be made
in a relatively short period of
time. Fortunately, help is out
there.
For those students interested
in or wanting to attend Lewis
&: Clark, the Admissions De
partment has set up a program
exclUSive ly for students admit
ted under early action: College
Preview. This three-day program is college-life-intensive, with ad
mitted students fully immersed
in college classes and activities.
The program is coordinated by
the Admissions Interns: Kalyn
Ekstrom('05), Rebecca Lev
itt('05) and Kim Sackmann('04),
and Hollie Wilson, Assistant
Dean of Admissions .
At noon on Thursday, Feb.
19, 2004, students started arriv
ing from all across the country to
take part in College Preview. At
6:40pm, the admitted students
gathered in Stamm Dining Hall
to wait for their hosts to come
and get them. They went off
to the dorms to check in, get settled, and prepare for what lay
ahead.
This morning, students pulled
out their course schedules and
got ready for classes. Hosts were
expected to aid the prospective
students by getting them ori
ented to campus, making sure
they knew where they were go
ing, and ensuring that they had a
good time.
Students also took advantage
of visits to downtown Portland,
campus tours, meals at the Bon,
and many other activities and
events coordinate d by the Ad
missions Interest Group and the
College Preview hosts. According to statistics gath
ered by the Admissions Office, a
high percentage of students real
ly enjoy the experiences that they
have at College Preview and on
other Admissions Interest Group
events. When asked about her
experience with the program,
Jordan Small(,05) said,
"I participated in College Pre
view when I was a prospective
student. It was a great way for
me to really understand what it's
like to be in college--dorm living,
. classes, the food, and all those
other things that you can learn
only by being there. It's nice to be
able to give other students that same opportunity."
All students are encouraged
to interact with visiting students
while they are on campus, and
to make sure that their time on
campus is positive and enlight
ening. According to Wilson, this
years applicant pool is the larg
est in school history; 81 students
are currently scheduled to attend
College Preview.
If you would like to be a Col
lege Preview Host or Admissions
Interest Group member, which
provides lunch hosting, tours,
and overnight hosting, contact
Admissions or visit the admis
sions website. .--~P==-i:---o-ne-e-r----Y-----N e WS------ -

ginning of the semester. houses considered in this study
A close look at five houses are either within a mile of campus
that are currently on the market or within a mile of the EastlWest
in the LC neighborhood, how
ever, shows that the cost of living
in the new apartments may still
outweigh all the conveniences
that they provide.
Assuming that one person
lived in each bedroom and that
rent and utilities were divided
evenly, as is the case in the on
campus apartments, the cost
to a student living off-campus
would be $135 less per month
than living in the on-campus
apartments. This figure includes
phone with voice mail; high
speed internet access; water,
sewer, and garbage pickup; and
all of the utilities provided in
the on-campus apartments ex
cept electricity and heat, which
can vary widely depending on
the house and the habits of the
people that live there.
Although heat and electric
bills can vary widely, $135 is
conSiderab ly more than one
person's share of even the high
est bill. Thirty-five dollars is a
more likely number, although in
a well-in~u lated house, even this shuttle stop at the New Seasons
Market in Sellwood. Students
living in these houses would not
need to drive to campus, although
their bike ride or walk would be
a little longer than if they lived in
East, Roberts, or West, campus
would be just as accessible.
So, if off-campus living can
match the cost, the uti.lities, and
the convenience of living in on
campus apartments, the remain
ing advantage becomes the luxury
of not paying monthly bills. The
choice is yours. Would you rather
spend more or pay bills?
How I got the numbers above:
I found listings for the five
houses that this article considers
in an hour of broWSing through
the hOUSing listings on the law
schools website, classifieds in
the Willamefte Week and the Or-
egonian, and signs posted on bul
letin boards on campus. Three of
the houses I considered had three
bedrooms, one had two, and one
had four.
Assuming that, like in the on-
The Minority View house and added that to the con-
tribution to the monthly rent that
each student living in that house
would make to find a total cost
that each person would pay.
I chose to exclude electric and
heating costs from my calcula
tion of monthly utilities because
electric and heating bills can vary
widely depending on the size of
the house, the amount of insula
tion in the house, the effiCiency of
the heating system, and the habits
of the people that live there.
Then I multiplied the monthly
cost that each person would pay
for rent and utilities in each house
by the nine months of the school
year and added the portion of a
$200 cleaning deposit that each
person living in a house would
pay. An average of this num
ber came to $3,619.90. This is
$1,220.10 more than the $4,840
that it costs to live in the on-cam-
pus apartments for two semesters.
By dividing that number by nine
months, I arrived at the figure of
$135.57 that each person would
have to pay, keeping in mind that
part of it has to go toward his or
her portion of the electric bill. How much do you save

Bringing Moone back to LC
Nothing is perfect. This is
the nature of existence . How
ever, many of us have a very
difficult time accepting that
fact. We strive for perfection
in ourselves and seek to find it
in our everyday life. When we
encounter specific elements of
imperfection, we feel compelled
to do something about it, some
thing meaningful and effective.
Like complaining.
Unfortunately, a major area
of imperfection is the precision
of our language. Statements ac
curately described as complaints
become "suggestions " or "com
ments." The blue binder found
in Watzek library in between
the circulation and reference
desks is a prime example of this
and serves as an outlet for such
complaints. If I were in charge,
I would first change the title
from "Aubrey R. Watzek Library
Suggestions and Comments " to
"The Big Book of Whiny Babies
Whining about the Problems
with Their Impossible and De
luded Quest for library Perfec
tion."
So it's a bit colder near the
computers. let me call the
wambulance! The stapler
doesn't always work. How 'bout
an order of wamburgers and
French cries? Theres no toilet
paper in the bathroom . You
want a Weineken to wash that
down? I mean, seriously, what
do you expect? I know this isn't
the biggest school, but its large of interests ~ All the Luddites
still stubbornly resisting the cell
phone revolution can't stand it
when they hear someone using
theirs.
All the normal people who
are in touch with modernity,
however, sometimes need to
ask their roommate a question
or check the score of the Blaz
ers' game. Instead of saying,
"There has to be something that
can help to keep cell phones
out of the library. I don't know
what, but they are a problem,"
try saying, "What the hell is
my problem? As soon as I get
a cell phone of my own (which
is entirely inevitable), I will no
longer care. Boy, I'm glad I grew
up."
Really, the comment book is
a nice gesture. It allows people
to vent their frustrations , which
is certainly preferable to acts
of violence, like ripping a cell
phone from someones hands,
smashing it to pieces, and try
ing to shove the microchips and
wires down their throat.
So it's not completely useless.
But let us hope that the Watzek
comment book will inspire
some self-examination . The
next time you feel compelled
to use it, just say, "Maybe the
problem isn't with the library;
maybe the problem is with me."
If, upon such reflection, you
decide the problem is actually
with the library and not with
you, go ahead and whine. After
all, that's why the book is there. by Ian Evans
Recently, news broke in the
Willamette Week that President
Emeritus Michael Mooney had
decided to retain his post as Pro

Problems with Zero Awards
by Anne Winchell
As soon as the Zero Awards
were posted, several items
jumped out at me. The first was
that the number of zeroes in one
column did not match the num
ber of items listed. The second
was that Internation al Affairs
was not listed. Once I got past
these initial difficulties, howev~r ,
I began to wonder if they truly
accomplished what they were
meant to do.
The Zero Awards were given
to departments lacking racial
minorities . Many people might
think that the matter of race can
be a fairly personal question,
and not always obvious when
looking at people, so I naturally
wondered how BSU found out
about the racial makeup of the
school. It turns out that they use
the application that professors fill
out when applying to the college
that include checkbox es inquir
ing about race. Unfortunate ly,
checking a box does not always
indicate race, as the question is
not required.
The award that threw me the
most was the Music department.
Having attended several African
drumming performanc es, I was
under the impression that the
teachers were of African descent.
Partially correct. They are con
sidered a racial minority, but as
they are not tenured professors,
they were not counted in the Zero Awards. While I can understand
why BSU would want to exclude
non-tenured professors , given the
shifting nature of untenured fac
ulty, I feel that it hurts the validity
of the Awards.
Of all Ph.D holders in the
I wonder if [the Zero
Awards] trulyaccom
plished what they
were meant to do.
United States, according to the
2000 Census, 84% are white,
12% are Asian, and only 4% are
black. This creates a huge de
mand for professors of an ethnic
minority, since most colleges
want to diversify their faculty.
The part-time faculty members
who teach at multiple universities
are, in fact, increasing diversity,
even though they are not repre
sented in the Zero Awards.
The main message that I would
like to point out, and that I think
the Zero Awards overlook, is that
the problem is with the education
system and the unequal distri
bution of Ph. Os, not with the
academic departments of Lewis &.
Clark College. I think the awards
cause some readers to overlook
this fact, as well. Several depart
ments that received Zero Awards
have actively sought out faculty
of ethnic minorities , but, because 4 Pioneer Log, February 20,2004 other colleges looking for profes
sors of an ethnic minority can
often offer better deals, they have
not succeeded .
LC is not primarily white be
cause we want it to be. The de
partments continue to hire the
best people they can find, regard
less of race and gender, and the
sad truth is the number of quali
fied professors of an ethnic mi
nority is not equal to the demand.
Rather than focus on LC's failure
to diversify, the student body
and students everywhere should
instead seek to fix the problem
and even out the distribution of
Ph.Ds.
The Zero Awards are meant
to educate the College about the
fact that ethnic minorities are not
equally represented in the faculty
and to encourage greater diver
sity. However, I feel' that rather
than attacking the college for
their lack of diversity, they should
have provided a way to increase
the representation of ethnic mi
norities in colleges.
I congratulate all of the aca
demic departments that have
hired or tried to hire faculty of
ethnic minorities , even if they do
not currently have any on their
rosters.
The Black Student Union is
holding a forum on the Zero
Awards on Wednesday, Feb. 25,
at 5:30pm, where they will ad
dress many of the issues. that have
arisen due to the Zero Awards. PHOTO COURTESY OF WWW.LCLARK.EDU
Dr. Mooney resigned from
his post as college president
last year amid controversy
surrounding an investment
decision that cost the college
10.5 million dollars.
to contest those facts, though I
gather from other administrators
and faculty that, in his later years,
he was increaSingly autocratic (an
attitude culminating in the loss of
$10.5 million). But let us grant
him his excellent career at our
college.
That is not the issue
I also do not wish to deny Dr.
Mooneys credibility as a scholar.
His profeSSional academic ca
reer speaks of profesSionalism
and dedication to learning. He
gave valuable lectures at the Col
lege for years. Dr. Mooney was
a staunch advocate of the lib
eral arts education, and, in many
ways, embodied the ethos of the
liberal arts tradition.
So why do I object to the re
turn of Dr. Mooney as a professor
at this college? Simply put, his
time here has past. His grievous
abuse of power that directly lead
to the loss of $10.5 million in Dr. Mooney is over
staying his welcome.
College funds is inexcusab le. He
may have had the greatest inten
tions with the loan, but, unfortu
nately, there existed neither the
authority nor the sound financial
sense to back up his intentions.
He let the College and its students
down, and failed to admit his
wrongs until they were brought to
public attention.
The College, by not firing
Michael Mooney, pressing legal
charges, or even forCing his resig
nation (we are glad that he at least
had the humbleness to resign as
President of the College), has
already recognized the achieve
ments of Dr. Mooney that were
enumerated above. His years of
good service are precisely why se
rious action was not pursued.
But now Dr. Mooney is over
staying his welcome. There was
a significant amount of student
and faculty outrage at the events
of last year, and for Dr. Mooney to
return at this time would only be
disruptive and inappropriat e.
His return to a teaching posi
tion at this college will hinder the
search for a new preSident. dis
turb relations with whatever new
preSident is selected, and confuse
students, faculty, and staff.
The College has a long road to
recovery and reestablishing our
image as a respectable academic
institution. This latest news from
Dr. Mooney can only be seen as a
road block.

Senior takes on AI DS
by Leandra Bernstein
She's got the skills to raise
funds for medical and social ills.
Maggie Sullivan('04) has a list
o~ experiences and awards that
would turn the head of any ad
ministrator and a Political Sci
ence, Pre-Med double major that
would turn the stomach of any
student. Maggie is from St. Paul,
MN. During her time at LC, she
has conSistently made the most
of her experience by taking ad
vantage of the resources that the
college has to offer. "When I grad
uate," says Maggie, ''I'm going to
miss the people, my friends, the
faculty, but also the resources.
There's so much cool stuff like
SAAB grants, internships. So
many cool opportuniti es."
Maggie took advantage of a
study abroad program in Kenya
and Tanzania, where she discov
ered her current calling. "I saw
how AIDS had just devastated
the communities ." After returning
from Africa, she involved herself
in local HIV/AIDS organizations.
In 2002, she applied for a grant
to go to the International AIDS
Conference in Barcelona, where
she represented For Us North
west, a Portland based, non-profit
known internationall y for its
work with children infected with
and affected by HIV/AIDS .
Maggie has been the coordina
tor of events like AIDS Awareness Week, she was the Hunger and
Homelessness Awareness Week
coordinator in 2002 and the
Charity Ball Coordinator in 2001,
and she is an active volunteer in .
over half a dozen different char
ity groups.
Maggie's motivation for choos
ing her thesis on non-profit or
ganizations was rooted in her
involvement with local Portland
groups like Outside In and the
HIV Service Planning Coun
cil. While working personally
with injection drug users, Mag
gie taught and promoted AIDS
awareness and prevention strat
egies. During her involvement
with the Portland HIV Service
Planning Council, she worked
within a group of community
leaders who petitioned the gov
ernment and received $3.3 mil
lion in funds to provide better
medical care, hOUSing, and social
resources for people infected with
and affected by HlV/AIDS . "We
prioritize the money and use a
lot of it for indirect services like
hOUSing, food, substance abuse
programs , emotional help and
social workers, but we let the
members of the communities
decided where the money is most
needed."
So what does she do when
she's not out saving the world? "I
love to hang out with my friends,
read for pleasure. I'm just nor

When Stepan Simek, a self
proclaimed "drama queen,"
wasn't teaching Theatre at Lewis
&: Clark College or hanging out
with his trilingual family this past
winter, he could be found spend
ing countless hours on the "Port
land Christmas Revels". This pro
duction is put on in honor and
celebration of Winter Solstice.
"It is about an encounter, a
very strange moment when the
world is turning. It is dark and
cold and people and nature are
at the height of despair," Simek
said.
He is involved in the produc
tion as both the artistic director
of the play and the author. In
putting on the production, he
was graced with the talent and
presence of profeSSional actors,
15 children, soloists and a com
munity chorus of 60 singers.
The play takes on a new form
each year but still keeps some tra
ditional songs in the mix. "Some
thing new but at the same time
there are points of ritual," Simek
explained. "It is like the tradition
of the Winter Solstice."
Though he has been involved
in the play before this year, it was
exceptionally speCial for Simek
this time. He was able to work
with Michael Curry, who is one of the most famous puppet and
speCial effects deSigners in the
world.
Simek wanted. a special ef
fect for his play with a machine
and inside the planets rotating
around. He used this to have Gal
i1eo Galilei explain that the sun is
the center of the universe to an
Italian Renaissance queen.
He had heard about Curry and
decided to contact him. Curry,
who has won countless awards
(including a few Emmy's) and
deSigned Broadway sets including
Disney's 'The Lion King," agreed
to help out free of charge.
Curry lives in Scappoose, a
neighbOring town, and he chose
to share his gift with the commu
nity and collaborate with Simek
on the project, along with an LC
grad who, after the production ,
ended up with a full time job
working for Curry.
The play was a hit, selling out
all 800 seats all 10 nights at the
Scottish Knight Theater. It was
also named one of the ten best
live performances in Portland.
Simek, unfortunately, won't
be able to help out this year; he
is preparing to leave for his sab
batical in Prague next fall with his
family. If you want more infor
mation about Michael Curry, visit

Atmosphere ok, but openers had right Eyedea
by Alexis Gordon and Roza
Tammer
"EYEDEA!" shrieked the tube
top wearing, acrylic-nailed wan
nabe groupie standing next to us
in the front row at the Roseland.
The teeny-bopper from Gresham
extended her hand toward the
stage, in hopes that perhaps the
emcee of Atmosphere'S opening
act would touch her. Eyedea,
the emcee, and Abilities, his DJ,
have been gaining popularity as
label-mates with Atmosphere
on Rhymeslayers. Even though
they were only an opening act,
the crowd was as enthused to
see them as they were for Atmo
sphere. The group has a very
distinctive sound and put on a
great show. Eyedea's rhymes were
super clean, and Abilities is a very
skilled OJ, laying down some in
credible beats. Eyedea and Abili
ties had a good stage presence
and were not overly pretentious .
Atmosphere took the stage
next, and, unusually , this perfor
mance did not match their repu
tation for putting on great live
shows. They seemed somewhat
distanced from the audience, and
very narcissistically pOised. Slug,
the main emcee, was especially
self-aware, and his antics (such
as pointing his fingers in a gun
shape, and saying "boom," while
"shooting" the audience, for the
duration of two or three songs)
became distracting . Maybe this
is because they've been touring
for nearly two years straight, or
maybe it was the venue, The
Roseland, or maybe their popu-larity has attracted a new fan
base interested in idolatry rather
than love of the music. It was
disappointing, but not entirely
un-enjoyable . However, Eyedea
&. Abilities rocked just as hard
as Atmosphere and managed to
avoid Slugs posturing .
Atmosphere has two emcees,
Slug and Blueprint, and one OJ,
Mr. Dibbs. In the past few years,
they've become immensely popu
lar, and have unwillingly been the
leaders of a new genre, "emo hip
hop," a title that Slug resents. The
genre is known for its appeal to
Caucasian youth and indie rock
ers. Slug has always tried to re
cruit a more ethnically diverse fan
base and laments that he is often
viewed as a white rapper-like
Eminem-when in fact he is half
black.
Atmosphere revels in its wide
ly publiCized female fan base,
howe"ver. Unfortunately, many of
his female fans seem as enam
ored with his bOyish good looks
and apparent sexual accessibility
stemming from the recurrent ro
mantic themes in his lyrics as they
are with his music.
Realistically , Atmosphere can
no longer be considered straight
up, underground hip-hop, but
neither is it truly "emo hip-hop."
Stylistically, the group bridges the
gap between mainstream and in
dependent hip-hop: pop beats
contrast with an underground
lyrical style, and Atmospheres
albums are never over-produced .
Slugs style is an awkward but
successful hybrid of Nelly and
Aesop Rock. His high-profile Eyedea and his OJ, Abilities, opened for Atmosphere at the
obsession with his ex-girlfriend,
Lucy Ford, whose name graces
the cover of group's second studio
album, has made Slug the leader
of the damaged and angry.
The new album, Sevens Trav"
els, is fun pop, but, unfortu
nately, is not very innovative . The Lucy Ford EP and God Loves
Ugly were far better albums, but
Sevens Travels is a solid piece. It
does, however, lapse at times into
cheesiness, such as in the hook
of "Shoe~lug says, "Those are
your shoesffhese are my shoes!
We've got issues." Despite halter-topped
groupies and Slug'S self-important
posturing, it was a fun show. And
Slug wanted to make sure that ev
eryone gets this message: he hates
vegetarian cokeheads , but loves
Portland. That's good enough for
us.
Ensemble will mu-36 views of Noh-influen ced,
sically bring three intellectual comedic drama
centuries together
by Leandra Bernstein
At 3:00pm on Sunday, Feb.
22, in the Evans Music Building,
the Three Centuries Ensemble,
a quintet of highly praised and
accomplished musicians led by
Oregon Symphony violinist Jona
than Dubay, will perform classi
cal music spanning the course of
three centuries. The recital will
include pieces by Franz Joseph
Haydn, Bela Bartok, and Robert
Schumann, all quite talented
composers.
Promising the event to be "the
best thing going on Sunday after
noon," Associate Vice President
of Campus Life Michael Ford
strongly encourages students to
attend this unique performance .
"The repertoire is quite unlike
one that students would hear at
any other concert," says Ford. "If
students want to get a taste for
classical music, this is the perfor
mance to go to." The event is free
to Lewis &. Clark students, em
ployees, and alumni, and offers
the college a chance to hear what
Ford refers to as an ensemble of
"really superior musicians ."
The ensemble will feature Gregory Dubay, conductor and
cellist; George Shiolas and Robin
Vandyke Dubay; performing on
violin, Brian Quincey on viola;
and Carol Rich pianist. Each
performer has taken part in a
number of local, national, and in
ternational classical and chamber
music events prior to their par
ticipation in the Three-Centuries
Ensemble.
Michael Ford
strongly encourages
students to attend
this unique perfor
mance.
Jonathan Dubay teaches vio
lin as well as chamber music at
LC as an Adjunct Professor in
the music department . He has
been a featured soloist with the
Oregon Symphony twice and is
currently a member of the Essex
Quartet. Dubay has a long history
of performing chamber music and
recently recorded the 44 duets of
Bela Bartok with Three-Centuries '
violinist George Shiolas. 6 the Pioneer Log, February 20, 2004 I had big plans for this Val
entines Day: In mid-December , I
discovered Pink Martini, pOSSibly
the most talented and wildly suc
cessful musical phenomenon ever
to come out of Oregon, would
be playing on February 14 at
the Schnitz, and my significant
other and I were going. Unfotu
nately, the concert was sold out,
so I embarked on a frantic search
for some artful way to spend the
evening with my significant other,
and happened upon Portland
Center Stages current produc
tion, Naomi Iizuka's 36 Views.
From the one-line plug, the
play did not sound especially
exiting, or even entertaining :
"When a rare Japanese pillow
book is discovered, the charac
ters in 36 Views are plunged into
a web of intrigue and fabrication,
jealousy and deceit." Big whoop.
But I was desperate, and seats
were still available.
Anyone who is not an East
Asian Studies major may not be
lieve that it is possible to make a
play about Japanese art interest
ing enough to keep the audience
awake. If you, 0 reader, are nod
ding your head right now, you are
wrong. 36 Views (the title refers to the 36 Views
of Mount Fuji
by Hokusai) is
a gripping dra
ma, a hilarious
comedy, a sat
isfying mystery,
and a piece of
post-modern
performance
mashed togeth
er, wrapped up
in rice paper,
and, presented
on a bed of
seaweed. It
is quite possi
bly one of the 36 Views will play through next Saturday.
best-crafted plays of which has
ever been my great pleasure to
partake.
The play begins at a New
York reception party for an enig
matic painter. He doesn't show
up, but a courtesans diary from
a medieval Japanese court does.
Academics and art dealers alike
are excited and intrigued by the
document, which promises to
revolutionize the perception of
early Japanese literature. But
nothing-and no one-is what is
seems to be.
The characters-an excessive
ly glamorous art dealer, his over
educated assistant, a cynical gen X painter, an ambitious young
professor, an aging "orientalist, "
and an incompetent investigative
reporter-are well-rounded and
compelling. The set and lighting
are minimalist , but pleaSing. The
dialogue is ingeniOUs . And, un
like in the last PCS production,
Sad dam Hussein does not make
an appearance.
36 Views will run through Feb.
28 in the Newmark Theatre at
the Portland Center for the Per~
forming Arts. Tickets are $16
for seniors and those under 25.
Performances are every night but
Mondays , usually at 8:00pm. Go.
See it. You won't regret it. t-~ ----- ---- -----~ --------

B-ball team tops Wi Ilamette
by Zach Mann
Three seconds remained . It
was only natural for Danny Win
chester to have the ball in his
hands. His trademark stutter
step separated himself from his
defender, allOwing him to release
a fade-away three. A silence fell
over Pamplin. Each fan stood as
if they already knew the outcome
of this previously tied game ..
Swish.
Willamette has notoriously
been the thorn in Lewis IS! Clarks
side. Earlier this year, LC was
handed their second confer
ence loss of the season in Salem,
unable to catch the scrappy,
clutch-shooting Bearcats down
the stretch throughout an incred
ibly tight game. Last season, the
Bearcats beat the Pios three times.
The final Willamette victory oc
curred in the Conference Tourna
ment, ending the Pioneers' Na
tional Tournament streak at three
consecutive seasons.
Last Saturday, it was the Pios'
turn to play the spoiler. For what
seems like the billionth time this
season, the Pios shot the ball at
an astonishing pace, building a
Significant and seemingly insur
mountable lead of 39-23 by half
time. With the trey falling miser
ably for Willamette, a comeback
relied primarily on shot selection.
Although they still shot poorly
from beyond the arc in the sec
ond half (1-8), the Bearcats took
four less attempts while convert
ing the same amount: one. While
the Bearcats were more patient and looking for the
easy basket, the Pios
tried to match their
first half success of
55% from the field,
including 64% from
beyond the arc. The
law of averages even
tually broke up the
phenome nal shoot
ing performance
by LC, helping the
limping Bearcats
creep back into the
game setting up the
dramatic conclusion.
PHOTO BY AARON VANDENBERG All-Conference
forward John Mi
etus('04) was not
going end his career
with a loss to WiI
lamette. In what
will surely be his
last game against
the Bearcats, Mietus
continued his push
for player of the
year with a 24-point,
ll-rebound perfor
mance. The statis
tics are even more
impressive than
they already sound. Forward Tommy Magnuson('06) soars
above a Willamette guard as he takes a
jumpshot during LC's 61-58 win. Mag
nuson and John Mietus('04) scored a
combined 37 points on the night.
First of all, it is another double
double, but more importantly,
his points accounted for 40% of
the team's total and his rebounds
made up more than a third. Also
contributing Significantly were
Tommy Magnuson('06) and Ryan
Wells(,06). Scoring 13 points and
bringing down five rebounds,
Magnuson was second only to
Mietus in both categories. Wells converted 4 of 8 three pointers,
one better than Winchester, who
was 3-7 [rom beyond the arc.
The euphoria of beating the
second-ranked team in the con
ference has since faded. The Pios
lost to George Fox on the road,
three days after their thrilling
win. The loss leveled the Pios'
record to 6-6 in conference and
13-8 overall.

historical occurrences," Forzley
said.
Professor Hunt spoke for
roughly an hour, charting the
progression of human rights po
litically, legally, and SOCially. She
began with the drafting of the
Universal Declaration of Human
Rights in 1948 and the difficul
ties one has in using rational or
legal arguments to justify specific
human rights. She then directed
her lecture back to eighteenth
century France and charted the .
progression of "natural rigI)ts"
through the French Revolution .
Her analysis focused on lit
erary works and other widely
published French documents ,
which, she argued, led to "an
increasing sense of empathy be
tween psyches across space."
Some were less than im
pressed with this approach.
Joshua Conroy('06) stated, "I like ers such as Jonathan Swift did
this way before Richardson. I
just didn't think it had that much
realistic application."
Additionally , Hunt's European
perspective on human rights did
not sit well with all audience
members . Lewis &: Clark Pro
fessor Mark Rose objected to her
premise that the tangible doc
trine of universal human rights
originated in pre-Revolutionary
France. "Hunt failed to take a
comparative approach . She be
gan and ended with idea that hu
man rights are a purely Western
idea. She never even approached
the possibility that non-Western
cultures dealt with this issue as
well," Rose said.
Not everyone felt that her talk
was particularly Eurocentric .
Stubbs, despite his reservations
about the lecture, felt "[Professor

Admitted students experience Lewis & Clark life
by Scott Devlin
ChOOSing a college is one of
the hardest decisions a student
will ever have to make. Deci
sions about distance from home,
class size, academic programs,
and life in general must be made
in a relatively short period of
time. Fortunately, help is out
there.
For those students interested
in or wanting to attend Lewis
&: Clark, the Admissions De
partment has set up a program
exclUSive ly for students admit
ted under early action: College
Preview. This three-day program is college-life-intensive, with ad
mitted students fully immersed
in college classes and activities.
The program is coordinated by
the Admissions Interns: Kalyn
Ekstrom('05), Rebecca Lev
itt('05) and Kim Sackmann('04),
and Hollie Wilson, Assistant
Dean of Admissions .
At noon on Thursday, Feb.
19, 2004, students started arriv
ing from all across the country to
take part in College Preview. At
6:40pm, the admitted students
gathered in Stamm Dining Hall
to wait for their hosts to come
and get them. They went off
to the dorms to check in, get settled, and prepare for what lay
ahead.
This morning, students pulled
out their course schedules and
got ready for classes. Hosts were
expected to aid the prospective
students by getting them ori
ented to campus, making sure
they knew where they were go
ing, and ensuring that they had a
good time.
Students also took advantage
of visits to downtown Portland,
campus tours, meals at the Bon,
and many other activities and
events coordinate d by the Ad
missions Interest Group and the
College Preview hosts. According to statistics gath
ered by the Admissions Office, a
high percentage of students real
ly enjoy the experiences that they
have at College Preview and on
other Admissions Interest Group
events. When asked about her
experience with the program,
Jordan Small(,05) said,
"I participated in College Pre
view when I was a prospective
student. It was a great way for
me to really understand what it's
like to be in college--dorm living,
. classes, the food, and all those
other things that you can learn
only by being there. It's nice to be
able to give other students that same opportunity."
All students are encouraged
to interact with visiting students
while they are on campus, and
to make sure that their time on
campus is positive and enlight
ening. According to Wilson, this
years applicant pool is the larg
est in school history; 81 students
are currently scheduled to attend
College Preview.
If you would like to be a Col
lege Preview Host or Admissions
Interest Group member, which
provides lunch hosting, tours,
and overnight hosting, contact
Admissions or visit the admis
sions website. .--~P==-i:---o-ne-e-r----Y-----N e WS------ -

ginning of the semester. houses considered in this study
A close look at five houses are either within a mile of campus
that are currently on the market or within a mile of the EastlWest
in the LC neighborhood, how
ever, shows that the cost of living
in the new apartments may still
outweigh all the conveniences
that they provide.
Assuming that one person
lived in each bedroom and that
rent and utilities were divided
evenly, as is the case in the on
campus apartments, the cost
to a student living off-campus
would be $135 less per month
than living in the on-campus
apartments. This figure includes
phone with voice mail; high
speed internet access; water,
sewer, and garbage pickup; and
all of the utilities provided in
the on-campus apartments ex
cept electricity and heat, which
can vary widely depending on
the house and the habits of the
people that live there.
Although heat and electric
bills can vary widely, $135 is
conSiderab ly more than one
person's share of even the high
est bill. Thirty-five dollars is a
more likely number, although in
a well-in~u lated house, even this shuttle stop at the New Seasons
Market in Sellwood. Students
living in these houses would not
need to drive to campus, although
their bike ride or walk would be
a little longer than if they lived in
East, Roberts, or West, campus
would be just as accessible.
So, if off-campus living can
match the cost, the uti.lities, and
the convenience of living in on
campus apartments, the remain
ing advantage becomes the luxury
of not paying monthly bills. The
choice is yours. Would you rather
spend more or pay bills?
How I got the numbers above:
I found listings for the five
houses that this article considers
in an hour of broWSing through
the hOUSing listings on the law
schools website, classifieds in
the Willamefte Week and the Or-
egonian, and signs posted on bul
letin boards on campus. Three of
the houses I considered had three
bedrooms, one had two, and one
had four.
Assuming that, like in the on-
The Minority View house and added that to the con-
tribution to the monthly rent that
each student living in that house
would make to find a total cost
that each person would pay.
I chose to exclude electric and
heating costs from my calcula
tion of monthly utilities because
electric and heating bills can vary
widely depending on the size of
the house, the amount of insula
tion in the house, the effiCiency of
the heating system, and the habits
of the people that live there.
Then I multiplied the monthly
cost that each person would pay
for rent and utilities in each house
by the nine months of the school
year and added the portion of a
$200 cleaning deposit that each
person living in a house would
pay. An average of this num
ber came to $3,619.90. This is
$1,220.10 more than the $4,840
that it costs to live in the on-cam-
pus apartments for two semesters.
By dividing that number by nine
months, I arrived at the figure of
$135.57 that each person would
have to pay, keeping in mind that
part of it has to go toward his or
her portion of the electric bill. How much do you save

the Pioneer Log, February 20,2004 3 -----Forum----
Bringing Moone back to LC
Nothing is perfect. This is
the nature of existence . How
ever, many of us have a very
difficult time accepting that
fact. We strive for perfection
in ourselves and seek to find it
in our everyday life. When we
encounter specific elements of
imperfection, we feel compelled
to do something about it, some
thing meaningful and effective.
Like complaining.
Unfortunately, a major area
of imperfection is the precision
of our language. Statements ac
curately described as complaints
become "suggestions " or "com
ments." The blue binder found
in Watzek library in between
the circulation and reference
desks is a prime example of this
and serves as an outlet for such
complaints. If I were in charge,
I would first change the title
from "Aubrey R. Watzek Library
Suggestions and Comments " to
"The Big Book of Whiny Babies
Whining about the Problems
with Their Impossible and De
luded Quest for library Perfec
tion."
So it's a bit colder near the
computers. let me call the
wambulance! The stapler
doesn't always work. How 'bout
an order of wamburgers and
French cries? Theres no toilet
paper in the bathroom . You
want a Weineken to wash that
down? I mean, seriously, what
do you expect? I know this isn't
the biggest school, but its large of interests ~ All the Luddites
still stubbornly resisting the cell
phone revolution can't stand it
when they hear someone using
theirs.
All the normal people who
are in touch with modernity,
however, sometimes need to
ask their roommate a question
or check the score of the Blaz
ers' game. Instead of saying,
"There has to be something that
can help to keep cell phones
out of the library. I don't know
what, but they are a problem,"
try saying, "What the hell is
my problem? As soon as I get
a cell phone of my own (which
is entirely inevitable), I will no
longer care. Boy, I'm glad I grew
up."
Really, the comment book is
a nice gesture. It allows people
to vent their frustrations , which
is certainly preferable to acts
of violence, like ripping a cell
phone from someones hands,
smashing it to pieces, and try
ing to shove the microchips and
wires down their throat.
So it's not completely useless.
But let us hope that the Watzek
comment book will inspire
some self-examination . The
next time you feel compelled
to use it, just say, "Maybe the
problem isn't with the library;
maybe the problem is with me."
If, upon such reflection, you
decide the problem is actually
with the library and not with
you, go ahead and whine. After
all, that's why the book is there. by Ian Evans

Problems with Zero Awards
by Anne Winchell
As soon as the Zero Awards
were posted, several items
jumped out at me. The first was
that the number of zeroes in one
column did not match the num
ber of items listed. The second
was that Internation al Affairs
was not listed. Once I got past
these initial difficulties, howev~r ,
I began to wonder if they truly
accomplished what they were
meant to do.
The Zero Awards were given
to departments lacking racial
minorities . Many people might
think that the matter of race can
be a fairly personal question,
and not always obvious when
looking at people, so I naturally
wondered how BSU found out
about the racial makeup of the
school. It turns out that they use
the application that professors fill
out when applying to the college
that include checkbox es inquir
ing about race. Unfortunate ly,
checking a box does not always
indicate race, as the question is
not required.
The award that threw me the
most was the Music department.
Having attended several African
drumming performanc es, I was
under the impression that the
teachers were of African descent.
Partially correct. They are con
sidered a racial minority, but as
they are not tenured professors,
they were not counted in the Zero Awards. While I can understand
why BSU would want to exclude
non-tenured professors , given the
shifting nature of untenured fac
ulty, I feel that it hurts the validity
of the Awards.
Of all Ph.D holders in the
I wonder if [the Zero
Awards] trulyaccom
plished what they
were meant to do.
United States, according to the
2000 Census, 84% are white,
12% are Asian, and only 4% are
black. This creates a huge de
mand for professors of an ethnic
minority, since most colleges
want to diversify their faculty.
The part-time faculty members
who teach at multiple universities
are, in fact, increasing diversity,
even though they are not repre
sented in the Zero Awards.
The main message that I would
like to point out, and that I think
the Zero Awards overlook, is that
the problem is with the education
system and the unequal distri
bution of Ph. Os, not with the
academic departments of Lewis &.
Clark College. I think the awards
cause some readers to overlook
this fact, as well. Several depart
ments that received Zero Awards
have actively sought out faculty
of ethnic minorities , but, because 4 Pioneer Log, February 20,2004 other colleges looking for profes
sors of an ethnic minority can
often offer better deals, they have
not succeeded .
LC is not primarily white be
cause we want it to be. The de
partments continue to hire the
best people they can find, regard
less of race and gender, and the
sad truth is the number of quali
fied professors of an ethnic mi
nority is not equal to the demand.
Rather than focus on LC's failure
to diversify, the student body
and students everywhere should
instead seek to fix the problem
and even out the distribution of
Ph.Ds.
The Zero Awards are meant
to educate the College about the
fact that ethnic minorities are not
equally represented in the faculty
and to encourage greater diver
sity. However, I feel' that rather
than attacking the college for
their lack of diversity, they should
have provided a way to increase
the representation of ethnic mi
norities in colleges.
I congratulate all of the aca
demic departments that have
hired or tried to hire faculty of
ethnic minorities , even if they do
not currently have any on their
rosters.

Awards on Wednesday, Feb. 25,

Dr. Mooney resigned from
his post as college president
last year amid controversy
surrounding an investment
decision that cost the college
10.5 million dollars.
to contest those facts, though I
gather from other administrators
and faculty that, in his later years,
he was increaSingly autocratic (an
attitude culminating in the loss of
$10.5 million). But let us grant
him his excellent career at our
college.
That is not the issue
I also do not wish to deny Dr.
Mooneys credibility as a scholar.
His profeSSional academic ca
reer speaks of profesSionalism
and dedication to learning. He
gave valuable lectures at the Col
lege for years. Dr. Mooney was
a staunch advocate of the lib
eral arts education, and, in many
ways, embodied the ethos of the
liberal arts tradition.
So why do I object to the re
turn of Dr. Mooney as a professor
at this college? Simply put, his
time here has past. His grievous
abuse of power that directly lead
to the loss of $10.5 million in Dr. Mooney is over
staying his welcome.
College funds is inexcusab le. He
may have had the greatest inten
tions with the loan, but, unfortu
nately, there existed neither the
authority nor the sound financial
sense to back up his intentions.
He let the College and its students
down, and failed to admit his
wrongs until they were brought to
public attention.
The College, by not firing
Michael Mooney, pressing legal
charges, or even forCing his resig
nation (we are glad that he at least
had the humbleness to resign as
President of the College), has
already recognized the achieve
ments of Dr. Mooney that were
enumerated above. His years of
good service are precisely why se
rious action was not pursued.
But now Dr. Mooney is over
staying his welcome. There was
a significant amount of student
and faculty outrage at the events
of last year, and for Dr. Mooney to
return at this time would only be
disruptive and inappropriat e.
His return to a teaching posi
tion at this college will hinder the
search for a new preSident. dis
turb relations with whatever new
preSident is selected, and confuse
students, faculty, and staff.
The College has a long road to
recovery and reestablishing our
image as a respectable academic
institution. This latest news from
Dr. Mooney can only be seen as a
road block.

Senior takes on AI DS
by Leandra Bernstein
She's got the skills to raise
funds for medical and social ills.
Maggie Sullivan('04) has a list
o~ experiences and awards that
would turn the head of any ad
ministrator and a Political Sci
ence, Pre-Med double major that
would turn the stomach of any
student. Maggie is from St. Paul,
MN. During her time at LC, she
has conSistently made the most
of her experience by taking ad
vantage of the resources that the
college has to offer. "When I grad
uate," says Maggie, ''I'm going to
miss the people, my friends, the
faculty, but also the resources.
There's so much cool stuff like
SAAB grants, internships. So
many cool opportuniti es."
Maggie took advantage of a
study abroad program in Kenya
and Tanzania, where she discov
ered her current calling. "I saw
how AIDS had just devastated
the communities ." After returning
from Africa, she involved herself
in local HIV/AIDS organizations.
In 2002, she applied for a grant
to go to the International AIDS
Conference in Barcelona, where
she represented For Us North
west, a Portland based, non-profit
known internationall y for its
work with children infected with
and affected by HIV/AIDS .
Maggie has been the coordina
tor of events like AIDS Awareness Week, she was the Hunger and
Homelessness Awareness Week
coordinator in 2002 and the
Charity Ball Coordinator in 2001,
and she is an active volunteer in .
over half a dozen different char
ity groups.
Maggie's motivation for choos
ing her thesis on non-profit or
ganizations was rooted in her
involvement with local Portland
groups like Outside In and the
HIV Service Planning Coun
cil. While working personally
with injection drug users, Mag
gie taught and promoted AIDS
awareness and prevention strat
egies. During her involvement
with the Portland HIV Service
Planning Council, she worked
within a group of community
leaders who petitioned the gov
ernment and received $3.3 mil
lion in funds to provide better
medical care, hOUSing, and social
resources for people infected with
and affected by HlV/AIDS . "We
prioritize the money and use a
lot of it for indirect services like
hOUSing, food, substance abuse
programs , emotional help and
social workers, but we let the
members of the communities
decided where the money is most
needed."

When Stepan Simek, a self
proclaimed "drama queen,"
wasn't teaching Theatre at Lewis
&: Clark College or hanging out
with his trilingual family this past
winter, he could be found spend
ing countless hours on the "Port
land Christmas Revels". This pro
duction is put on in honor and
celebration of Winter Solstice.
"It is about an encounter, a
very strange moment when the
world is turning. It is dark and
cold and people and nature are
at the height of despair," Simek
said.
He is involved in the produc
tion as both the artistic director
of the play and the author. In
putting on the production, he
was graced with the talent and
presence of profeSSional actors,
15 children, soloists and a com
munity chorus of 60 singers.
The play takes on a new form
each year but still keeps some tra
ditional songs in the mix. "Some
thing new but at the same time
there are points of ritual," Simek
explained. "It is like the tradition
of the Winter Solstice."
Though he has been involved
in the play before this year, it was
exceptionally speCial for Simek
this time. He was able to work
with Michael Curry, who is one of the most famous puppet and
speCial effects deSigners in the
world.
Simek wanted. a special ef
fect for his play with a machine
and inside the planets rotating
around. He used this to have Gal
i1eo Galilei explain that the sun is
the center of the universe to an
Italian Renaissance queen.
He had heard about Curry and
decided to contact him. Curry,
who has won countless awards
(including a few Emmy's) and
deSigned Broadway sets including
Disney's 'The Lion King," agreed
to help out free of charge.
Curry lives in Scappoose, a
neighbOring town, and he chose
to share his gift with the commu
nity and collaborate with Simek
on the project, along with an LC
grad who, after the production ,
ended up with a full time job
working for Curry.
The play was a hit, selling out
all 800 seats all 10 nights at the
Scottish Knight Theater. It was
also named one of the ten best
live performances in Portland.
Simek, unfortunately, won't
be able to help out this year; he
is preparing to leave for his sab
batical in Prague next fall with his
family. If you want more infor
mation about Michael Curry, visit

Atmosphere ok, but openers had right Eyedea
by Alexis Gordon and Roza
Tammer
"EYEDEA!" shrieked the tube
top wearing, acrylic-nailed wan
nabe groupie standing next to us
in the front row at the Roseland.
The teeny-bopper from Gresham
extended her hand toward the
stage, in hopes that perhaps the
emcee of Atmosphere'S opening
act would touch her. Eyedea,
the emcee, and Abilities, his DJ,
have been gaining popularity as
label-mates with Atmosphere
on Rhymeslayers. Even though
they were only an opening act,
the crowd was as enthused to
see them as they were for Atmo
sphere. The group has a very
distinctive sound and put on a
great show. Eyedea's rhymes were
super clean, and Abilities is a very
skilled OJ, laying down some in
credible beats. Eyedea and Abili
ties had a good stage presence
and were not overly pretentious .
Atmosphere took the stage
next, and, unusually , this perfor
mance did not match their repu
tation for putting on great live
shows. They seemed somewhat
distanced from the audience, and
very narcissistically pOised. Slug,
the main emcee, was especially
self-aware, and his antics (such
as pointing his fingers in a gun
shape, and saying "boom," while
"shooting" the audience, for the
duration of two or three songs)
became distracting . Maybe this
is because they've been touring
for nearly two years straight, or
maybe it was the venue, The
Roseland, or maybe their popu-larity has attracted a new fan
base interested in idolatry rather
than love of the music. It was
disappointing, but not entirely
un-enjoyable . However, Eyedea
&. Abilities rocked just as hard
as Atmosphere and managed to
avoid Slugs posturing .
Atmosphere has two emcees,
Slug and Blueprint, and one OJ,
Mr. Dibbs. In the past few years,
they've become immensely popu
lar, and have unwillingly been the
leaders of a new genre, "emo hip
hop," a title that Slug resents. The
genre is known for its appeal to
Caucasian youth and indie rock
ers. Slug has always tried to re
cruit a more ethnically diverse fan
base and laments that he is often
viewed as a white rapper-like
Eminem-when in fact he is half
black.
Atmosphere revels in its wide
ly publiCized female fan base,
howe"ver. Unfortunately, many of
his female fans seem as enam
ored with his bOyish good looks
and apparent sexual accessibility
stemming from the recurrent ro
mantic themes in his lyrics as they
are with his music.
Realistically , Atmosphere can
no longer be considered straight
up, underground hip-hop, but
neither is it truly "emo hip-hop."
Stylistically, the group bridges the
gap between mainstream and in
dependent hip-hop: pop beats
contrast with an underground
lyrical style, and Atmospheres
albums are never over-produced .
Slugs style is an awkward but
successful hybrid of Nelly and
Aesop Rock. His high-profile Eyedea and his OJ, Abilities, opened for Atmosphere at the
obsession with his ex-girlfriend,
Lucy Ford, whose name graces
the cover of group's second studio
album, has made Slug the leader
of the damaged and angry.
The new album, Sevens Trav"
els, is fun pop, but, unfortu
nately, is not very innovative . The Lucy Ford EP and God Loves
Ugly were far better albums, but
Sevens Travels is a solid piece. It
does, however, lapse at times into
cheesiness, such as in the hook
of "Shoe~lug says, "Those are
your shoesffhese are my shoes!
We've got issues." Despite halter-topped
groupies and Slug'S self-important
posturing, it was a fun show. And
Slug wanted to make sure that ev
eryone gets this message: he hates
vegetarian cokeheads , but loves
Portland. That's good enough for
us.

sically bring three intellectual comedic drama
centuries together
by Leandra Bernstein
At 3:00pm on Sunday, Feb.
22, in the Evans Music Building,
the Three Centuries Ensemble,
a quintet of highly praised and
accomplished musicians led by
Oregon Symphony violinist Jona
than Dubay, will perform classi
cal music spanning the course of
three centuries. The recital will
include pieces by Franz Joseph
Haydn, Bela Bartok, and Robert
Schumann, all quite talented
composers.
Promising the event to be "the
best thing going on Sunday after
noon," Associate Vice President
of Campus Life Michael Ford
strongly encourages students to
attend this unique performance .
"The repertoire is quite unlike
one that students would hear at
any other concert," says Ford. "If
students want to get a taste for
classical music, this is the perfor
mance to go to." The event is free
to Lewis &. Clark students, em
ployees, and alumni, and offers
the college a chance to hear what
Ford refers to as an ensemble of
"really superior musicians ."
The ensemble will feature Gregory Dubay, conductor and
cellist; George Shiolas and Robin
Vandyke Dubay; performing on
violin, Brian Quincey on viola;
and Carol Rich pianist. Each
performer has taken part in a
number of local, national, and in
ternational classical and chamber
music events prior to their par
ticipation in the Three-Centuries
Ensemble.
Michael Ford
strongly encourages
students to attend
this unique perfor
mance.
Jonathan Dubay teaches vio
lin as well as chamber music at
LC as an Adjunct Professor in
the music department . He has
been a featured soloist with the
Oregon Symphony twice and is
currently a member of the Essex
Quartet. Dubay has a long history
of performing chamber music and
recently recorded the 44 duets of
Bela Bartok with Three-Centuries '
violinist George Shiolas. 6 the Pioneer Log, February 20, 2004 I had big plans for this Val
entines Day: In mid-December , I
discovered Pink Martini, pOSSibly
the most talented and wildly suc
cessful musical phenomenon ever
to come out of Oregon, would
be playing on February 14 at
the Schnitz, and my significant
other and I were going. Unfotu
nately, the concert was sold out,
so I embarked on a frantic search
for some artful way to spend the
evening with my significant other,
and happened upon Portland
Center Stages current produc
tion, Naomi Iizuka's 36 Views.
From the one-line plug, the
play did not sound especially
exiting, or even entertaining :
"When a rare Japanese pillow
book is discovered, the charac
ters in 36 Views are plunged into
a web of intrigue and fabrication,
jealousy and deceit." Big whoop.
But I was desperate, and seats
were still available.
Anyone who is not an East
Asian Studies major may not be
lieve that it is possible to make a
play about Japanese art interest
ing enough to keep the audience
awake. If you, 0 reader, are nod
ding your head right now, you are
wrong. 36 Views (the title refers to the 36 Views
of Mount Fuji
by Hokusai) is
a gripping dra
ma, a hilarious
comedy, a sat
isfying mystery,
and a piece of
post-modern
performance
mashed togeth
er, wrapped up
in rice paper,
and, presented
on a bed of
seaweed. It
is quite possi
bly one of the 36 Views will play through next Saturday.
best-crafted plays of which has
ever been my great pleasure to
partake.
The play begins at a New
York reception party for an enig
matic painter. He doesn't show
up, but a courtesans diary from
a medieval Japanese court does.
Academics and art dealers alike
are excited and intrigued by the
document, which promises to
revolutionize the perception of
early Japanese literature. But
nothing-and no one-is what is
seems to be.
The characters-an excessive
ly glamorous art dealer, his over
educated assistant, a cynical gen X painter, an ambitious young
professor, an aging "orientalist, "
and an incompetent investigative
reporter-are well-rounded and
compelling. The set and lighting
are minimalist , but pleaSing. The
dialogue is ingeniOUs . And, un
like in the last PCS production,
Sad dam Hussein does not make
an appearance.
36 Views will run through Feb.
28 in the Newmark Theatre at
the Portland Center for the Per~
forming Arts. Tickets are $16
for seniors and those under 25.
Performances are every night but
Mondays , usually at 8:00pm. Go.

B-ball team tops Wi Ilamette
by Zach Mann
Three seconds remained . It
was only natural for Danny Win
chester to have the ball in his
hands. His trademark stutter
step separated himself from his
defender, allOwing him to release
a fade-away three. A silence fell
over Pamplin. Each fan stood as
if they already knew the outcome
of this previously tied game ..
Swish.
Willamette has notoriously
been the thorn in Lewis IS! Clarks
side. Earlier this year, LC was
handed their second confer
ence loss of the season in Salem,
unable to catch the scrappy,
clutch-shooting Bearcats down
the stretch throughout an incred
ibly tight game. Last season, the
Bearcats beat the Pios three times.
The final Willamette victory oc
curred in the Conference Tourna
ment, ending the Pioneers' Na
tional Tournament streak at three
consecutive seasons.
Last Saturday, it was the Pios'
turn to play the spoiler. For what
seems like the billionth time this
season, the Pios shot the ball at
an astonishing pace, building a
Significant and seemingly insur
mountable lead of 39-23 by half
time. With the trey falling miser
ably for Willamette, a comeback
relied primarily on shot selection.
Although they still shot poorly
from beyond the arc in the sec
ond half (1-8), the Bearcats took
four less attempts while convert
ing the same amount: one. While
the Bearcats were more patient and looking for the
easy basket, the Pios
tried to match their
first half success of
55% from the field,
including 64% from
beyond the arc. The
law of averages even
tually broke up the
phenome nal shoot
ing performance
by LC, helping the
limping Bearcats
creep back into the
game setting up the
dramatic conclusion.

forward John Mi
etus('04) was not
going end his career
with a loss to WiI
lamette. In what
will surely be his
last game against
the Bearcats, Mietus
continued his push
for player of the
year with a 24-point,
ll-rebound perfor
mance. The statis
tics are even more
impressive than
they already sound. Forward Tommy Magnuson('06) soars
above a Willamette guard as he takes a
jumpshot during LC's 61-58 win. Mag
nuson and John Mietus('04) scored a
combined 37 points on the night.
First of all, it is another double
double, but more importantly,
his points accounted for 40% of
the team's total and his rebounds
made up more than a third. Also
contributing Significantly were
Tommy Magnuson('06) and Ryan
Wells(,06). Scoring 13 points and
bringing down five rebounds,
Magnuson was second only to
Mietus in both categories. Wells converted 4 of 8 three pointers,
one better than Winchester, who
was 3-7 [rom beyond the arc.
The euphoria of beating the
second-ranked team in the con
ference has since faded. The Pios
lost to George Fox on the road,
three days after their thrilling
win. The loss leveled the Pios'
record to 6-6 in conference and
13-8 overall.
