Faculty discusses
Inventing America Halloween Hoots
classes, but by others who will
by Benjamin Waterhouse learn from them."
On Wednesday, Nov. 5, the
faculty of lewis &: Clark College
did not vote on a propositi.on
by the Inventing America Task
Force to replace the controversial
core course with "a set of broadly
conceived, co-taught, interdis­
ciplinary first-year courses that
will introduce students to the
humanities and social sciences,
leaving open the possibility of
courses that will include the sci­
ences as well."
Wednesday 'S well-attended All courses would share com­
mon foci: namely, critical think­
ing skills, analytical reading
skills, extensive expository writ­
ing, essay examinations, public
speaking, and research skills.
The individua l sections of any
given course would meet at the
same time and would share at
least fifty percent of the readings
in common.
PHOTOS BY SHANNON BRADY faculty meeting lasted a little over
two hours, in which time the is­
sue at hand-the Task Force's
proposal-was hardly discussed .
Instead, a number of unfriendly
amendments were debated. Interim President Bragdon
expressed his high hopes for the
meeting: "It's great that [the pro­
fessors] are so enthusiastic over
the core course," he said. "No
preSident is going to be forcing
the issue, no dean is going to be

sibility [for replaCing inventing The Halloween spirit lives on in Renaissance man Yu Hou(left) and magistrate Tristan

ation of multiple "cluster classes"
taught jointly by three or more
faculty members, who would
work cooperatively to build cur­
ricula for their individual sec­
tions. "Eventually, " the proposal
reads, "the goal is to establish a
diverse set of courses of enduring
value that can be staffed not only
by the faculty who create the a new
core class for first-year students
is, he said, his primary goal for
his year of presidency: "I have
failed if [the faculty] cannot
come up with a new program. n
Ben Westervelt , the head
of the Inventing America Task
Force, presented the proposal for
the new core course. He said he
had spent much of the week wad-ing through Inventing America­
related correspondence, not all of
it friendly: "We've been accused
with a lot of things, and our work
has been described with all sorts
of colorful language. "
He expressed hope, however,
that the resolution-the prod­
uct of a years work by the Task
Force-would finally be voted
upon.
Westervelt, on the behalf of
the Task Force, proposed to make
an exemption to the general rules
of procedure to require that the
proposal receive a two-thirds
majority vote to pass, as opposed
to the usual simple majority, thus indicating an enthusiastic back­
ing by the· faculty.
"Inventing America was
passed by a very small majority,
just barely more than fifty per­
cent. That is why it has been so
-weak; there was not ~l\ough fac­
ulty support," said Juan Carlos
Toledano (Hispanic Studies).
Westervelts proposal was
greeted with mixed reactions.
Many faculty members were
hesitant to change the usual way
of doing things. Stepan Simek
finally forced a vote, and the re­
quest for a two-thirds majority
was denied by a margin of two
votes, with 42 in favor and 22 opposed.
Another amendment pro­
posed a two-semester , writing­
intensive seminar course for first­
year students. The proposed
amendment was greeted with
widespread hostility.
"We were charged with creat­
ing a replacement for Inventing
America, not with creating a re­
placement for Inventi.ng America
and then creating a replacement
for the replacement " said o~e
member of the Task Force.
The meeting was adjourned at
5:20pm. The issue will, barring
further delays, be decided at the
meeting next week.
Coming Out Week followed by mixed reactions
by Anne Winchell
Coming Out Week, organized
by United Sexualities, began Sun­
day, Oct. 26, and ended Saturday,
Nov. 1. The event featured dif­
ferent activities every night, and
promoted awareness of all sexual
orientation s. Though successful,
Coming Out Week left many stu­
dents feeling alienated due to the
aggressive promotion .
laura Wright hosted the
Queerluck on Sunday in the Trail
Room, beginning the events. "We
ended up with more food than
people," said Kestryl Lowry('07) ,
Events Coordinato r for United
Sexualities . "We started giving it
away to everyone passing by."
On Monday, Queer 101 was
held in Stamm. The round table
discussion had a panel of 5 stu­
dents and Andrew Bernstein,
Assistant Professor of History.
Many students felt that the event
was an excellent chance to find
out about the differences and
similarities of gay and straight
lifestyles.
Tuesday featured an all day
dragathon, where students chal-lenged gender roles in their
clothing during the day. One of
the students to dress up, Jonas
Roy('06), said, "I used the dra­
gathon as an excuse to wear a
skirt." Lowry was pleased at the
number of people who did dress
up, saying, "I saw a lot of right."
Friday and Saturday 'S events
were o~f-cam pus adventure s. On
Friday, the group traveled down­
town to Portland State Universi­
ty's Boo Ball, an event put on by
their gay-straight alliance group. a queer ally." United Sexualities
worked hard to make Coming
Out Week a memorable event,
and succeeded in raising aware­
ness of the group, even if many
students were offended by the
promotion .
-------------------------------United Sexualities put
up many posters and tabled
outside of the Bon at lunch
and dinner, Monday through
Friday. "They were harass­
ing me," said Terry Stratton
(,06). "I asked them if they students dressed up who I
didn't expect." "It's not just a queer thing.

When asked which event --------- --------------------­
was her faVOrite, Lowry laughed.
"Well, I'm a little biased," she
said, explaining that she orga­
nized the game show, Guess
the Het, on Thursday evening
in Smith Hall. The game con­
sisted of a panel of off-campus
students, one of whom was het­

ask any questions except direct
questions relating to sexual ori­
entation. "It breaks down a lot of
stereotypes," Lowrey said. "Only

went to a womyn-owned and
operated erotic boutique." The
store, It's My Pleasure, was also a
part of the Rubberwear Party in
Forest earlier this year.
lowry estimated that between
20-30 people participated in
each evening's event, and said
that this was about on par with
other campus events. "It's not just
a queer thing," said lowry. "It's
the idea of examining yourself
and coming out as queer, or as sexual student remarked that she
wanted to go back in the closet
after seeing UniSex.
Matt Price('06) summed up
the feelings of many when he
said, "It wasn't that they made
me uncomfortable. But the
method of presentation set me
against whatever they wanted
even before I knew what it was.
If that was an honest representa­
tion of UniSex, it was a total tum
off." He described their presenta­
tion as having an "annoying tele-marketer calling you at dinner
and won't hang up attitude".
"I feel like UniSex is try­
ing to make homosexuality the
first thing about a person," said
Marianne Weidel('06). "It is part
of who they are, but not the first
thing." She supports gay rights,
but feels that United Sexualities
discriminate s among other mem­
bers of the gay community, mak­
ing the less flamboyant members
feel uncomfortable.
In defense of UniSex, Roy
explained, "Some people were
offended. The posters were ag­
gressive, but it didn't bother me."
Kristen Godwin('07) said that
United Sexualities was "pretty
good about getting across the
point" and complimented them
on their enthusiasm. "I think its
cool that they were there," she
said.
United Sexualities has meet­
ings every Wednesday at 7:00pm
in Thayer, and welcomes every­
one to join in. lowry, summing
up UniSex's activity, said, "We're
an active club, we have fun and
we want to include everyone ." ~P~io-n-ee-r~------rvevvs-------------

THE PIONEER lOG IS FUNDED BY YOUR
STUDENT FEES. by Anna Forsher
Greetings! Autumn is here: the
fallen leaves, the brisk breeze ...
and the SAAB Arts &: ExpreSSion
grants! Two Saturdays ago, the
board heard fantastic presenta­
tions from some of LC's most tal­
ented artists, and allocated funds
for a number of exciting projects.
Here's the scoop:
Yukari Kaihori is completing
her Senior Project in Studio Art
by making a triptych of acrylic
painted canvas panels. The sub­
ject matter is meant to reflect
Kaihoris multicultural back­
ground and experiences, includ­
ing elements of nature, religion,
and culture. The panels will be
presented in Hoffman Gallery at
the end of next semester. Kathryn
Hyman's photographi C work is·
meant to capture different phe­
nomena of light that express di­
vine glory within nature. Hyman
has been taking black and white
photographs since last summer
for this project, which is closely
connected to her interest in Art
Ministry after graduation. The
photographs will be presented
in Hoffman Gallery at the end of
next semester.
Jason Khalsas Senior Project
is based around the concept and
philosophies of a mandala, which promises to be the first of its kind
on the LC campus. He will be
creating a piece with a ten-foot
diameter that will lie across the
floor, utilizing approximately 900
pounds of red-brown and white
clays, terra cotta, and porcelain.
Khalsa's work will also be on dis­
play in Hoffman Gallery at the
end of next semester.
Jessica Knowles' Senior Recital
on Nov. 6 in Evans Auditorium
involved "collaborative piano,"
which includes chamber music
and accompaniment. She played
a duo for flute and piano, four
vocal songs, and a Mozart quin­
tet for winds and piano in a very
unique venture that reflected her
studies in the Music Department.
Dave Wallace's Senior Recital
requires him to sing twelve songs
in French, Italian and Latin, with
an accompanying cello, harp,
harpSichord, and piano. The
recital will include two pieces
that Wallace has written, one of
which is an electronic mix that he
composed in the Electronic Mu­
sic Studio; it will be set to three
separate videos projected onto
the auditorium's walls. Wallace's
recital will take place on Mar. 13,
2004, in Evans Auditorium .
Michele Anderson will be put­
ting together a 45-minute recital
for her Senior Project in music composition. She is utilizing the
talents of her friend Peter, with
whom she formulated the idea,
Lewis &: Clark College alumni
Emilia Allen, Brien Hemann, Say­
uri Sazaki, and the LC choir. The
pieces she has written deal with
the subjects of greed and vanity.
Anderson's recital will take place
on Nov. 16 in Evans Auditorium .
Kim Reil is creating large color
photographs for her Senior Proj­
ect. She has been taking pictures
that depict the connection be­
tween consumerism and patrio­
tism within Portland's suburban
communities; one example is an
American flag flying adjacent to a
McDonalds' flag. This idea came
from her overseas trip to Seville,
Spain, last semester. Reils photo­
graphs will be on display in Hoff­
man Gallery at the end of next
semester.
Best of luck to all of the above­
mentioned grant recipients in
their respective endeavors! Be
sure to check out these awesome
projects and performances!
Also, we'd like to remind you
that the deadline for Research
Grant applications is Friday, Nov.
14, at 2:00pm. If you have ques­
tions about submitting an appli­
cation, either stop by the SAAB
office or drop an email to us at

ASLC UPDATE
by Aron Phillips
Bob Dylan said, "He not busy
being born is busy dying." This
will be the theme for the Associ­
ated Students of Lewis &: Clark
this week, as we keep on truckin'
our way through first semester.
Now, with midterm stress subsid­
ing and Lebrons debut over with,
there is a lot that we should catch
you up on. ASLC has been do­
ing some cool things. The main
controversy these past few weeks
has been surrounding the well­
known campus terrorist organi­
zation known as the TAT (Thayer
Action Team). These liberators
have been fighting to transform
Thayer into a student lounge.
Yes, a lounge for students! After
many hours of deliberations and
peace talks with the adminis­
tration, the kick-off date is set: then contact us and let us know.
Thanks to all who contrib­
uted their time and thoughts, the
Presidential Search Committee
meetings took place last week
There was great attendance, and
the feedback is being compiled as

Provost Forum was disrespected
completely. With only one stu­
dent attending (a writer for the
Pioneer Log), it was somewhat dif­
ficult for there to be any sort of
forum. So, in the future, please
attend the Provost Forums, as
they are for your benefit. Bring
any problem you have forward
and present it openly and freely,
and get some direct responses .
Thanks so much for getting in­
volved with the committees (they
are almost all filled) and for your
pursuits so far this year. Through
SAAB, all of week to OSPIRG, enabling one of
their members to attend a confer­
ence.
The Diwali festivities went
very well fOf ISLC, and the food
was well received by the students
and the Bon. Also, from what
I heard, the movie was well at­
tended and enjoyed. ISLC's next
pursuit will address Tibet, so stay
tuned for future updates.

Letters to t
Forest Resident Di­
rector comments on
"terminated" Resident
Assistants.
On Halloween, the Pioneer
Log ran a cover story regard­
ing changes to the Forest Staff.
Unfortunately, the scenario pre­
sented came from talking with
two fonner Forest RAs, and was
not cross-checked with my­
self-despite my offer to "con­
firm, [deny], or answer ques­
tions" the Log might have.
I will therefore address the
more Significant misrepresenta­
tions of events that the Log was
led to believe were accurate. In
doing this, I am limited by con­
cerns of respect and confidenti­
ality-the same considerations
that prevent me from openly
discussing any of our private
disciplinary or personnel mat­
ters.
I also choose to respect the
former RAs' desire to remain
anonymous-notwithstanding
the sharp irony that, despite
their distain for "cover-up [sl",
the details that I have refrained
from sharing over the last four
weeks pertain much more to
the frankly embarrassing par­
ticulars of their behavior than
anything else.
While it is true that part
of the Alcohol Policy and the
RA Employment Contract
violations did include the
three "drinking in one of their
rooms," the extent of the viola­
tions were more damaging and
serious than the Log-and
thereby the LC Community­
have been led to believe. The
version of my involvement is
likewise misleading.
I was initially informed
about the situation by a mem­
ber of my staff, who was bound
to do so by the solemn promises
we have all made as members
of Residence Life. I then re­
sponded to the scene, where I
gathered enough information
to independently confirm that
violations had occurred, with
or without anyone else's state­
ments.
I was subsequently ap­
proached separately by two wit-nesses, who provided much more
detailed accounts of events-ac­
counts which matched the initial
report, my observations, and the
scenarios -that the three ex-RAs
eventually presented . It is signifi­
cant that while all seven of these
accounts match and support each
other, they do not fit the events re­
counted to the Log.
These events resulted in a
variety of consequences, for the
three ex-RAs and others. In the
case of the three, it is mislead­
ing for them to claim "we were
terminated -[withoutl a choice."
After a number of conversations
with the three, and very difficult
discussions at the professional­
staff level, they were informed
that their choices had not only
violated College Policy and their
Contracts, but had in fact made
it all but impossible for them to
effectively do their jobs, as well
as hampering the job abilities of
others.
The three were then told that,
since they could not effectively
do their jobs at this time, they
would be given the opportunity
to resign-otherwise their em­
ployment would be terminated.
The three were told that they were
welcome to reapply for RA posi­
tions at a later point in time, when
the choices they had made would
not have such a debilitating im­
pact on their abilities.
All three offered their resigna­
tions.
None of the three appealed the
decision.
All three were originally hired
because I and other members of
the Residence Life staff fought for,
and believed in them. The choic­
es that ultimately resulted in the
three ceasing to be RAs, abandon­
ing their communities and staff
were their own-the choices they
made when they decided to do
things that they had been clearly
told were incompatible with the
demands and duties 'of their posi­
tions. Ignoring their choices, and
reaching a different conclusion
would be hypocritical; we must
hold ourselves to the commit-
4 ments made to each other.
While I regret that they made
these choices, and wish that I
could have helped them choose differently, the choices were al­
ways theirs and theirs alone to
make.

Disappointed in Pioneer
Log Riverdale coverage.
I was surprised that the Pio­
neer Log was willing to entertain
the complaints of unnamed and
outspoken "neighbors" over the
new lighting and Griswold Sta­
dium, as published in Volume
68, Number 4, "Griswolds new
lights spark controversy, fine. "
As Riverdale is my alma ma­
ter, I was disappointed that the
Pioneer Log failed to give it a fair
and equal voice in the name of
sparking "controversy."
The Pioneer Log went insofar
as to cite the City Charter viola­
tion by name, the fine amount,
a laundry list of complaints lev­
eled by anonymous "neighbors"
and the tuition to attend River­
dale High School, but never
once did it mention Riverdales
stance in the matter or its his­
tory of politely listening to criti­
cism and making changes based
on it.
As a publication that prides
itself on promoting diverse view­
points, it was intriguing to see
that the Pioneer Log had no inter­
est in reporting the other side of
this story.

Is being a vegetarian re­
ally all that healthy?
Traditionally, humans have
always eaten meat. As we age,
some people choose to omit this
protein source from their' diet.
There are many reasons behind
making this decision, some of
which can be harmful and un­
healthy, most likely the opposite of the intended effect. In writing
this article, I am not attempting to
criticize any of the various forms
of vegetarianism, nor am I try­
ing to promote eating meat. My
purpose is to raise your awareness
of some of the issues surrounding
the veggie versus meat debate,
to enable you to make your own
informed decision regarding your
health.
Advocates of vegetarianism
claim that by omitting animal
products from your diet expo­
sure to genetic modifications
and pesticides is greatly reduced.
However, research has shoWl}
that the soybean industry is one
of the biggest supporters of the
use and continued research of
genetic modification. Soy farmers
also use many types of pesticides ,
none of which are removed be­
fore tHe beans are processed into
various soy products. Unless you
only buy organic soy products,
you are not reducing your con­
sumption of GMOs or pesticides
in any way. ~cent laws now
prohibit soy products from carry­
ing the organic label unless strict
standards regarding th~ non-use
of genetiC modification as well as
pesticides have been followed.
Another common claim is that
in omittinp animal products you
reduce y,~r exposure to hor­
mones ~d antibiotics that the
meat indlfstry feeds its animals.
While mlmy huge commercial
ranches use products, a
growing market is found in the
many organic .ranches that supply
their region with organic animal
products:' For meats to carry the
label of prganic, the ranch must
never use hormones or antibiotics
on their animals. The livestock
must also be fed foods they natu­
rally eat (such as grass not com
for cows), as well as be provided
pasture for their animals to roam
about freely.
Being vegetarian and healthy is
hard. Not impossible, for it can
also be hard to eat meat and be
healthy. However, many of the
proteins, vitamins and minerals
that are in various meats are dif~
ficult if not impossible to find in
a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians, es­
pecially vegans, must be attentive
to what nutrients are lost by omit-ting meat, and know of ways to
put those nutrients back into
their diet.
There are many options to
try besides the beef, pork and
chicken of our childhoods.
These, as well as the exotic buf­
falo and ostrich, are all organic
products I've seen at many lo­
cal supermarkets. And while
organic products are slightly
more expensive (by a couple of
dollars), there are many places
around LC where you can find
organic animal products at a
reasonable price. So get out to
your favorite market, and cook
up something good for dinner
tOnight!

Clarifying Kyoto proto­
col misconceptions in
the Pioneer Log.
This is a response to John
Koehn's uninformed article on
Kyoto compliance .
First, John claims that "we
emit little more than a stale
odor." In reality, last year we
emitted 36,822,189 lbs of C02
eqUivalent from electricity, natu­
ral gas, air travel, commuting,
and other sources.
The . press release lacked
numbers because its purpose
was to announce our accom­
plishment to the press: link
at the bottom of the release
said "for more information,
VlSit www.lclark.edul-seed/
kyoto.html." If John had both­
ered to follow that link he would
have found information about
this campaign, including exact
emissions numbers and a list
of emission reduction efforts.
Furthermore, contrary to his ar­
gument, our emissions have de­
creased in the natural gas, com­
muting, and other Categories.
Second, John asks if we had
a bake sale or passed around the
hat to raise money. This year we­
raised $1,400 outside of what
the Chartering and Budgeting
Committee (CBC) allocated to
SEED. On October 7, there was

-students and teachers, friends
and colleagues . However, meet­
ing my own students who once
took my Russian classes at Lewis
&: Clark is especially joyfuL
As I wrote in my first letter,
I met with Josh Fjeseth, an LC
graduate from 2001. Josh made
this city his home almost two
years ago. At first, he decided to
stay here after his overseas pro­
gram ended to continue his study
of Russian, but a few months
lat~r, he found a job at the St.
Petersburg branch of the German
law firm Beiten Burkhardt.
For a while, Josh worked as
an English-language editor. He
was in charge of organizing, ed­
iting, and proofreading anything
and everything that the firm did
in English, including contracts,
articles, and advertisements. He
also did some translations .
More rec~ntly, Josh has begun
doing more research-related work
for his firm, investigating aspects
of Russian law. As for his future
plans, Josh is in the process of ap­
plying to the International MBA
program at the Stockholm School
of Economics (they have a branch
in St. Petersburg) .
He lives with his Russian girl­
friend, Margarita , and he doesn't
want to leave Russia for quite
some time.
I met Josh and Margarita at
a cafe on Nevsky Ave, the most
fashionable street in St. Peters­
burg, just across from a large
building -a business center for
several Western firms, including
the office where Josh works.
I don't know how many Amer­
ican firms there are in St. Peters­
burg, but I heard on TV that there
are more than 700 American
businesses in Moscow alone. It
seems to me that LC:: Russian
minor graduates can count on
finding some job vacancies if they
want to work in Russia, and it is a
very great place to live.
I met with some current LC
students who are studying here

used to be called the Smolny PHOTO BY TATIANA OSIPOVICH

Before seeing my three stu­
dents there Oossie Bristow, Nate
Jones and Nikki Zimmerman) ,
I discussed the academic and
cultural activities of the program
with its American leaders, who
have managed it for almost 8
years.
While I really appreciated the
quality of the program 's academ­
ics, my students were more im­
pressed with their opportunities
to experience things far beyond
traditional classroom activities.
"Russia has been such a great trip
so far!" said Nikki. "I couldn't
have made a better choice than
to come here. I've already done
so much, and the program's only
half over! I've already been to
Estonia, various places around
the St. Petersburg area, Moscow,
and Riga, Latvia. We also have a
ten-day break coming up at the
beginning of November where I
will be traveling solo to Moscow,
some small cities such as Rostov-Veliky and Yaroslavl, and then to
Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan . If
I have time, I might even make it
. to Siberia."
In fact, Nate decided to do just
that -he is traveling to Lake Baikal
by train during his ten-day break!
And Jessie plans to explore more
culture-and art-related activities
in Russia's two capitals, Moscow
and St. Petersburg .
I asked the program's leaders to characterize the LC students
whom they have taught here for
many years by asking them how
our students differ from other US
students in their program.
They thought for a while, and
finally said that most of the LC
students who have come to St.
Petersburg are adventurous and
independent, and they are good
fellow-travelers. I agree with their
opinion. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

groups are not required to

lectures and John's inaccurate
article all help to educate stu­
dents about a wide range of is­
sues. Education is not taking
second seat to social issues; it
is occuring because we are ad­
dressing social issues.
Koehn's article on Kyoto
compliance was inaccurate
and demonstrated a lack of
understanding of key issues.
Confusion is understandable;
the issue is complex. How­
ever, the article was unaccept­

Higher learning:
Facing your fears
by Media Guy and Sensitive
Feminist
There is some sad news here in
the land of Higher Learning. For
one, you, our devoted readers,
will have to wait one more week
for our "advanced techniques."
Also, Sensitive Feminist has
been in a horrible accident and
was unable to participate in this
weeks article. I am not at liberty
to discuss much, but let's just say
I have never seen a panda bear
cry before. So, here is this weeks
one-sided view on things.
Higher Learning,
Okay, usually I am a confident,
assertive person, with the ability to
make new Jriends, and .... ask people
out on dates. Recently I have Jallen
under the spell oj one oj those awJul
debilitating crushes. I am always
bumping into him on campus and
I melt into a puddle oj crushed out
conJusion and am rushing to the
nearest exit rather than asking him
out on a hot date. What's the deal???
Please help, Higher Learning ...
Campus Reality Under­
mines Sublime Hopes in Every
Respect
Well. hello there CRUSHER.
Apparently, you have no clue
what you are talking about. If you
are confident enough to not care
in any other situation, then why
do you care now? This is ridicu­
lous. This is obviously a deeper
issue than you think. It could be
that, with your assumed self-con­
fidence, you underestimated one
important thing: intimidation. It
is in the belief of Media Guy that
you are intimidated by this per­
son. So, to get over this, you have a few possible routes.
The first route is completely
internal. Try to understand why
you are feeling intimidated .
Think back to your past. Is there
anyone in your past that this
person might remind you of? If
that is not the case, what exactly
is there about your love bug that
stands out the most as a source of
intimidation? Does he walk on
water? Can he tum water into
wine? Can he heal lepers with
a Single touch? Even if he can
do all that, he would still need a
nice bit of whatnot every once in
a while, so why shouldn't he go
for you?
The second route is a bit eas­
ier, but also a bit more of a cop
out: alcohol. You could always
get some liquid courage in you
to make the deed easier to bear.
We at Higher Learning do not
think that this is the best route to
lead to those sexy ends, but it is
still a means of getting over your
problem.
The third route is a reverse
intimidation blitzkrieg . It is a dif-
. ficult maneuver and is probably
be the wackiest option you have.
This also requires you to figure
out what about the potential love
slave gives him so much power
over you so that you can shatter
those misconceptions and get
some results. Get him into your
territory, or figure out how to
surpass his wall of intimidation,
much like the Nazis did to France
in World War II by Sidestepping
the Maginot Line. To do this,
hype yourself up. Take control
of the reins of the wild horse ride
your life is spiraling toward. In
other words, suck it up, ask him
out, and rock his world.

Something Corporate: an adolescence revisited
by Jeff Marshall
On Saturday, Nov. 1, Some­
thing Corporate rocked the Rose­
land Theater. From the crashing
opening strains of "Straw Dog" to
the last hanging notes of "(Hur­
ricane) The Formal Weather Pat­
tern," the crowd was with them,
with the majority of it singing
along at the top of their lungs.
Crowd energy can make or break
a live show, and this contrast was
apparent in my reaction to Some­
thing Corporate's tour mates, the
RX Bandits.
I arrived at the show too late to
catch anything from the openers,
Mae and The Format, but fellow
concert-goers assured me that I
had missed nothing. On came
the RX Bandits with something
that started in a laid-back reggae
feel and slowly accelerated into a
post-third-wave ska-punk groove
(think latter-day Goldfinger) .
The music was pretty much par
for the genre's course-decent if
you like that kind of thing, but I
wasn't really digging it. The band
jumped up and down, the crowd
followed, and I felt. .. philosophi­
cal.
The subject at hand was the
youth of today. There's nothing
like going to pop-punk shows to
make me feel prematurely mid­
dle-aged. Everything I saw drove
new speculation . As I watched teenaged girls crowd-surfing , di­
recting themselves toward secu­
rity guards, I wondered if any of
them realized that crowd-surfing
used to be a method of getting on
stage, if any of them remembered
a time when crowds would catch
stage-diving rock stars and carry
them on a sea of hands. I won­
dered how many others there re­
membered when a mosh pit was
something radically new and dan­
gerous that happened at major
rock shows, not the group of kids
jumping up and down with no re­
lation to the beat at every concert
that involves a guitar and drums.
And finally, did any of them know
how to skank? Did any of them
remember a time when the cool­
est kid in class was that first guy
who had learned a dance move
called "skanking" that was done
to this newfangled "ska" music? I
have to admit that part of my dis­
illusionment is due to the fact that
the first show I ever attended was
a third-wave ska band (the Aqua­
bats) at the Roseland, and there
was skanking galore. Saturday, no
one was skanking, and judging
by the chants of "RXB," they also
hadn't learned that only headlin­
ers play encores.
But then an upright piano was
wheeled out to center stage, and
Andrew McMahon of Something
Corporate took over. No piano
player should be allowed to be this much of a rock star. I know
that everyones first reaction is
to say "but what about Elton
JohnlBen Folds/whoever," but
I've never seen someone spend
so much time with one hand
pounding the piano while the
other fist pumps in the air, grips a
microphone stand, or adjusts his
unruly mop of dirty blond hair.
His seat didn't touch the piano
stool for more than two seconds
at once. He had two microphones
that he switched back and forth
between, repeatedly pulling them
off stands, laying them atop the
piano, and moving them back
during songs. And that piano
took some serious abuse. McMa­
hon stood on top of it screaming
into his mic at one point, sat on
the keys and slid his butt across
them, and jumped up and down
on the keyboard during "If You C
Jordan."
McMahon also established
a w.onderfu l rapport with the
crowd. Early on, following to
calls for him to play "Konstan­
tine," he responded, "I thought
we had decided that we were all
going to be mature here and just
trust us that we're going to play
the song." Later he asked, "Is it
too early in the set to say this is
the best show of our tour?" When
the crowd cheered, he joked,
"Did you just say yes it is? Moth­
erf---ers ... " When crowd mem-IMAGE COURTESY WWW.SOUN[).RIOT.COM

ruly attendee, McMahon Singled
him out, faced him d'own, and
got him to leave, bringing on fur­
ther cheers and applause.
Oh yeah, and the music ... ?
Fantastic. As is typical of the
genre, it rocks a little harder live
than on the album, but McMahon
can apparently play piano as well
while dancing around a stage as
in the studio, and the rest of the
Orange County group was locked
in throughout the performance .
As I mentioned earlier, crowd energy is integral, and it was high
throughout, peaking with fan fa­
vorites such as "Drunk Girl" and
"I Woke Up in a Car." The band
fed off the crowd, and the show
smoked. It couldn't even wreck
the mood when I saw two girls
who had been freshmen my senior
year of high school crowd-surfing
by-and reminders of home are
never a good thing. A line from
"If You C Jordan" goes, "High
schools over, high school's over."
Though it wasn't true for most of
the crowd, I for one, am glad.

by Ben Waterhouse
Having already established
themselves as the world's pre­
mier jam band, built a lunatic
follOwing of ex-dead-heads, and
successfully taken over a small
portion of the American music
industry, the Boulder-based String
Cheese Incident are trying some­
thing new: a carefully produced ,
overdub-heavy pseudo-concept
album to measure up to Dark Side
of the Moon and Sergeant Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band. The re­
sult of their ambitious undertak­
ing-Untying the Not-while not
quite as impressive as the works that inspired it, is still a damn
good listen.
SCI have had a busy few years.
Between non-stop touring, an
embroiled lawsuit against Tick­
etmaster, the creation of their
own record label, management
company, and ticketing agency,
and the recent mastering and
release of 57 live recordings in
their On the Road series, the five
tie-dye-clad Coloradoans have
been going non-stop. According
to lead guitarist Bill Nershi, the
new album came as a welcome
break: "We've been together a
long time, [and] we were begin­
ning to realize that if we kept do-

of the many innovations on this
spectacularly complex mix of old­
school improvisation and bold
experimentation.
Untying the Not is also SCI's
first fully studio-oriented album.
The band even went so far as
to hire a producer : "Youth,"
the trend-setting bass player for
Killing Joke. Despite initial dif­
ficulties, the recording ended up
being a success for all involved:
"This album is very much the
record that the band wanted to
make, we just needed help stir­
ring it up," Nershi said.
The album is fantastically var-ied, and enjoyable throughout.
The first track, "Wake Up," is an
atmospheriC, funky introduc­
tion vaguely reminiscent of Pink
Floyd's "Speak to MelBreathe,"
followed up by "Sirens," a happy­
go-lucky ska-jam that turns dis­
turbingly dark at the chorus. The
album is about half instrumental,
including some of the best tracks:
the Coltrane-esque "Orions Belt,"
the rambling spoken-word!
electronica of "Mountain Girl,"
and a moving rendition of "Lone­
some Road Blues" that gi.ves the
bluegrass standard a new twist.
"Tinder Box," a trippy, hard-driv­
ing condemnation of warfare, is
probably the best track on the
record, though it sounds nothing
like SCI material.
The only song on the album
that is really not enjoyable is
"Valley of the Jig," an annoying dance mix of "Red Haired Boy,"
a traditional Irish fiddle tune.
Other than that, the whole thing
is amazingly good, maybe even
mind-expanding. Alex Gray's en­
lightened aCid-trip cover design
would certainly seem to indicate
a certain transcendental character.
Seriously, this album is awesome .

Football team loses third straight Upcoming Pioneer Sports
by Zach Mann
With no score midway through
the first quarter, the Linfield
Wildcat fans were getting a little
nervous. Playing the third ranked
team in the country, LC's defense
stifled the high-octane offense of
Linfield spotting them just one
touchdown through the first
quarter and a half. Unfortunately ,
a second quarter fumble by quar­
terback Trent Thompson('04)
was picked up by a Wildcat who
waltzed into the end zone begin­
ning a flurry of scores ending
with a 27-0 halftime lead.
The game ended with a very
lopsided 55-0 victory for the
Wildcats. Continuing their dom­
inance over the Pios, Linfield has
now won 27 consecutive games
against LC.
Outnumbered almost 3:1
against teams like PLU and now
Linfield, LC has consistently
struggled with depth on the foot­
ball field. Injuries hit LC harder
than most teams who have three
or four backups at many posi­
tions. Not only does the team
suffer when a starter is hurt but allOwing players to rest or take a
series or two off is also out of the
question.
Also, there is no bench at LC
like other schools. Sure there are

Men's soccer team
alive and kicking
by Geoff Wallace
After working hard for three
years to create a respectable soc­
cer program at the college, the
mens soccer club is finally func­
tional and off to a roaring 3-1
start.
This year's team sports ev­
erything necessary for success: a
coach, LC alum Andrea Karpin­
ski, uniforms, equipment , and a
well-practiced group of players.
With the addition of lights
to Griswold Stadium, the team
has been given the opportunity
to practice straight through the
entire fall season, a valuable op­
portunity indeed if they're going
to make it through the tough road
ahead.
The men's soccer squad has
been thrust into two hardcore
leagues this season: the Portland Premier League, one of the best
mens leagues in the region, and
a collegiate league that consists
of Western Oregon University,
Portland State University, Oregon
State University, Reed, and the
University of Oregon.
Even if the oppositions line-up
proves too challenging, th.is year
will provide an excellent chance
for growth for this fledgling LC
team.
The team is primarily com­
prised of underclassmen , but
also has five juniors and three
seniors on the solid 16-man ros­
ter. Along with Coach Karpin­
ski, Hank Kilgore('05) , and Jason
Khalsa('04) have been providing
additional support as mangers.
Though the team doesn't have
any standout players.
With any luck, the team's de­
termination will lead to victory. probably be seeing action as a
Pioneer. A real "bench" exists at
Linfield where some guys see no
playing time.
I'm not trying to take anything
away from perennial powerhous­
es Linfield and PLU, but one can
see why they dominate league
play year after year. More players
does not necessarily make a team
more talented, athletic, or allow it
to win more games. It does how­
ever, allow for flexibility on the
field and gives the team a base to
work with for the future.
LC has shown a lot of heart
this season, enduring a tough
road schedule, and battling with
injuries to key players. Tomor­
row at 1:00pm, Willamette skips
into town, as the coveted Wagon
Wheel is up for grabs. Griswold
will be showcasing Pioneer foot­
ball for the last time this season so
don't miss your chance to see LC
break a 3-game lOSing streak and
get to .500 in conference play.

Harvard's Patterson opens Democracy Dialogues
by Leandra Bernstein
Last Wednesday, Feb. 4,
marked the commencement of
the Journey to Democracy Dia­
logues, a series of lectures fea­
turing well-known authors, po­
litical scientists, and professors
discussing civic responsibility in
politics. This week's lecture fea­
tured Thomas Patterson, Bradlee
Professor of Government and
the Press at Harvard University 'S
John f Kennedy School of Gov­
ernment, a highly acclaimed
author and expert in election
politiCS and the media's role in
government. Lewis &: Clark Col­
lege brought Patterson to campus
with the help of grants from Or­
egon Campus Contact, Learn
and Serve America, and LCs own
Political Science department.
According to its website
promotion, the Journey to De­
mocracy Dialogues are intended
to "strengthen Lewis &: Clarks
connections between democratic
engagement and civil responsi­
bility," as well as "to cultivate dis­
cussion about what it means to
be a SOCially responsible citizen."
In particular, organizers hope the
lecture series will promote politi­
cal participation among students. ihomas Patterson spoke
last Wednesday, Feb. 4, at
the first Journey to Democ­
racy Dialogues lecture.
Maggie· Sullivan('04) , student
organizer of the series, said,
"I think a lot of people are in­
volved, but a lot of people don't
get off the hill."
As the preSidential election
draws closer, many people are
concerned about the college de­
mographic and their participa­
tion in elections. Having written
extensively on voter partiCipa­
tion (or lack thereoO in his 2002
book, The Vanishing Voter, Patter­
son revealed some of the reasons why people have steadily been
disengaging themselves from
election politics. Among other
factors, Patterson discussed the
news media, which "is driven by
cynicism and sensationalism."
He referred to statistics of news
coverage beginning in 1968 that
showed a steady increase in neg­
ative coverage of political figures.
For example, in recent years,
for every one positive comment
made by the press about qeorge
W Bush's competency , there were
nine comments made stating
he was incompetent. Patterson
warned that the press is a "win­
dow into how we view politicS,"
and when the majority of what
the public sees is negative, it
will be reflected in their views
and their participation. Patter­
son continued, "If this is our
secondhand world, I think it's a
difficult world for the public to
negotiate. "
Patterson is somewhat op­
timistic about the upcoming
election, hoping that perhaps
the declining voter turnout will
turn a corner and begin to in­
crease. Citing the results from
the Iowa caucus in January, Pat­
terson 'pointed out, "the turnout
was double what it was in 2000,
Holbrooke visits Portland
by Beka Feathers
The World Affairs Council of
Oregon s ponsored a speech by
former U.N. Ambassador Rich­
ard Holbrooke Wednesday, Feb.
4, on the topic of "Unlikely Ad­
versaries: Europe, the U.s., and
the U.N." After his talk, the am­
bassador met briefly with several
Lewis &: Clark students who at­
tended the event.
"It was really incredible get­
ting to shake hands with some­
one who is that esteemed and has
that much internation al experi­
ence," said Elana Guiney(,06),
one of six students introduced
to the ambassado r by former LC
professor and Holbrooke aide
Mary-Ellen Glynn.
Guiney said she and the oth­
ers who met the ambassador had
gone to the talk secretly hoping
they would have a chance to
meet him. "When we went to see
the talk with Richard Holbrooke,
we thought there was a possibili­
ty that we could talk to him," she
said. "At the reception, Professor
Glynn offered to bring us inside
and introduce us to Holbrooke .
Obviously, everyone was really
excited about that."
The most interesting part of
the speech, Guiney said, was
Holbrookes examination of the
U.N., based on his personal
experiences. "Someone com­
ing from that position not only
knows what he's saying, but
has some inSights most people wouldn't think of," she said.
The ambassador focused on
three topics: the impact of the
U.S.'s invasion of Iraq on Europe
and the U.N-_, the intelligence
failure surrounding the alleged
weapons of mass destruction ,
and HIV/AlDs . He also fielded
questions from the audience
which dealt with everything
from his work in Bosnia to his
potential candidacy for Secretary
of State.
On Iraq, the ambassador
emphasized that Americans did
not understand how much the
invasion had affected European
sentiment toward the U.s., just
as Europeans did not understand
how much Sept. 11 had affected
Americans ' view of the world.
He called for more inclusion of
the U.N. and influential Iraqis
in the reconstruction efforts now
taking place in Iraq.
"Every critic of the admin­
istration on Iraq-liberal, con­
servative, international--every
critic says we need to give the
U.N. m·ore influence in Iraq,"
Holbrooke said, adding "there is
no possibility that the deadline
can be met."
The deadline to which he re­
ferred is the July 1 date set for
transfer of political control of
Iraq from American hands to
Iraqi.
The ambassador said that
the U.N. could, and does, serve
as more than just a legitimizin g
force, and that the U.S. should take that into account.
"I have never seen an issue
on which there was more mis­
understanding and more mis­
representat ion than the U.N.,"
he said. "We're talking about an
institution that has great value in
the world, if we know how to
use it."
Holbrooke was extremely crit­
ical of U.S. intelligence regarding
weapons of mass destruction ,
which he called "one of the great
historic failures of our intel­
ligence history," though he laid
much of the blame on Vice-Presi­
dent Cheney. He warned that
the U.S. could not afford to let
countries like North Korea, Iran,
and Pakistan believe that U.S. in­
telligence was faulty, lest they try
to take advantage.
Finally, the ambassador
turned to the topic of the global
HIV/AlDs epidemic, the cost of
which, he said, has been "cata­
clysmic." He advocated uni­
versal HIV/AlDs tests and com­
mended companies like Nike,
Inc., which provide testing for all
their workers.
The World Affairs Council has
two more speakers scheduled this
year in the International Speaker
Series. Gro Harlem Brundtland ,
Director General of the World
Health Organization and former
Prime Minister of Norway, will
speak on Mar. II, and Fareed
Zakaria, editor of Newsweek In­
ternational, is scheduled to speak
Apr. 20. and the young voter participa­
tion quadrupled." However,
Patterson also sees this increase
as the response to issues sur­
rounding the faltering economy,
the war in Iraq, as well as the
"horse race" between John Kerry
and John Edwards. "These issues
tend to animate
voters ... Wa r
tends to stir
the interests of
young people,"
said Patterson.
He also made
historical ref­
erence to the
1972 election
primaries when
promises for
ending the war
in Vietnam
provoked an in­
crease in voter
turnout, espe­
cially among
young Ameri­
cans. Putnam on Feb. 28, discussing
the decline in communit y in~
volvement and civic connect­
edness, and Katherine Cramer
Walsh on Mar. 15, who will
speak on public opinion, civil
oblilgation and political com­
munication.
The Journey

Dialogues will
feature ac­
claimed author
and political
scientist Robert Acclaimed author and political scientist
Robert Putnam will present the lecture
"Restoring the American Community " as

RANDOM QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"CHLAMYDIA IS NOT A FLOWER."
-JON ElDRIDGE drama underway
by Aron Phillips
The year is now 2004, which
means an election year. Already,
across the country we've seen
numerous presidential hopefuls
pushing their dreams into the
primaries , with many falling by
the wayside. This preSidential
madness isn't as far removed as
many of you may think; in fact,
Lewis & Clark College itself is in
the process of searching for a new
preSident. There has been talk
of Howard Dean being the front­
runner of this search, but those
rumors have been short-lived
and unfounded . Also, speaking
of preSidents, there was word of
former President Michael Mooney
last week as Willamette Week and
the Pioneer Log broke stories on
his impending return to LC.
As far as an election that YOU
can actually become preSident in,
there's the upcoming ASLC Gen­
eral Election. That's right: you
have the opportunity to run for
a salaried position with an office
in Templeton Student Center to
help better serve your fellow LC
. students. If this interests you,
go pick up a petition outside the
Student Representatives office
in Templeton (right around the corner from Council Chambers) ,
and fill it out by this Sunday, Feb.
15! There are numerous positions
available on the ASLC Council, so
don't worry if you don't want to
be preSident -yet. Also, the Peer
Review Board is still searching for
candidates to serve on the Board
this spring. So pick up an appli­
cation and apply today!
Other than working on the up­
coming election, the Council has
been putting together a proposi­
tion to change bylaws. These
changes range from all aspects of
Council life, from purely seman­
tic changes to the addition or sub­
traction of positions, as well as
general update and upkeep.
So, I encourage you to check
out these opportunities to get
involved in your student govern­
ment today. For all you new folks
on campus this semester, ASLC
meets every Tuesday afternoon
in Thayer (your student lounge
in Templeton ), at 5:00pm Feel
free to stop by and share some­
thing with us, or just sit to meet
your representati ves and see how
we operate. So please, I urge you,
pick up an application ASAP and
get involved right away! What
better way to change the system
than from the inside? Peace.
Group supports
campus diversity
by Valentina Grigoreanu
The Diversity Cluster. You've
heard of it. But maybe you cal~\
quite remember what it's all
about, or its focus. Today, we
hope to re-introduce you to the
Cluster. In the future we expect
to give updates on .programs, fol­
low up after events, and provide
more food for thought on diver­
sity issues.
Our official mission state­
ment: The Cluster serves stu­
dents and other campus com­
munity members by promoting
and supporting ongoing and new
multicultu ral and diversity-ori­
emed programming, events, and
learning opportuni ties. Inclusive
in its approach to cross-cultural
dialogue , it seeks to increase
communication l;>etween and
collaborate with campus groups
and individuals to cultivate open­
ness to, respect for, and appreCia­
tion of community members and
broader issues of diverSity.
The Cluster was formed last
year to help the campus com­
munity focus on issues of diver­
sity after a series of incidents that
clearly indicated a lack of civility
THIS and appreciation or understand­
ing of differences at Lewis &
Clark.
From that start, the Cluster
has sponsored and/or supported
a series of workshops and pro­
grams for the community: diver­
sity training for the Residence
Life staff and Student Life interns,
ISLC panel discussions, the film
"Trembling Before G-d" and di­
rector discussion, InterAct, an
Interactive Workshop on RaCism,
Native American Heritage week,
and the MLK celebration, just to
name a few. Future events sup­
ported or sponsored by the Clus­
ter will include Race Monologu es,
International Fair, Lu'au, Salsa
Fiesta, and diverSity training for
staff and faculty.

Templeton reborn The history, the whole history
As talk turns (yet again) to renovating the Templeton
Student Center we decided to get some student input
about what kind of changes should be made. After a
careful, scientific survey, we have compiled some sug­
gestions about what LC students would like to see in a

The Minority View by John Koehn
The most recent media-driven
mini-drama of the presidential
election has been George W
Bush's National Guard record. I
would first like to say that I find
it amusing that kids who haven't
been to class in three weeks find
something wrong with missing
a few National Guard trainings.
And, of course, all of the neo­
phytes on campus who wouldn't
give two minutes of their own
time to the defense of their coun­
try take umbrage with someone
who didn't make 100% of their
trainings.
The media, of course , love
this story. With Democratic Party
Chairman Terry McAuliffe saying
Bush went "AWOL" and miscre­
ant Michael Moore calling Bush a
"deserter," this story has become
an exaggeration that would make
Pinocchio jealous.
According to the respectable
Annenberg Public Policy Center
(as opposed to the pathetically
biased Moore), the' claim that
President Bush went AWOL from
his National Guard duties is more
myth than fact.
John Kerry's ideo­
logical views haven't
al b " _L " ways een as Sale
as they are today.
Bas d on in-depth int rviews,
reports, and pay-stubs , the An­
nenberg Center concludes, "The
fact is Bush was honorably dis­
charged without ever being of­
fiCially accused of desertion or
being away without official leave."
Additionally , according to the
National Guard's point system
(which I'm sure few Bush critics
actually understand), George W
Bush fulfilled his obligations.
While on the subject of bring­
ing up the past, I would like to
discuss a topic that has been
baSically ignored by the main­
stream news media. According to
a recently unearthed article from
a 1970 Harv.ard Crimson, cur­
rent Democratic frontrunner John
Kerry's ideological views haven't

to town for Lincoln Day ... But, dude, he

always been as "safe" as they are
today.
No, Senator Kerry hasn't al­
ways voted for things like the
Iraq war, No Child left Behind,
the Patriot Act, and tax cuts. In
fact, in the 1970 Harvard Crim­
son, Kerry said, "I'm an interna­
tionalist. I'd like to see our troops
dispersed through the world only
at the directive of the United Na­
tions."
That is a strikingly differ­
ent stance from President Bush's
philosophy . "America will never
seek a permission slip to defend
the security of our people," Bush
declared in the last State of the
Union address. lastly, while Senator Kerry
likes to talk about the influence
of "special interests" on the Bush
administration, columnist Chris­
topher Hitchens adeptly points
out that, "Kerry's revolVing-door
record with lobbyists and donors
is one to make Cheney and Bush
look like amateurs."
The bottom line is that anyone
can make a petty smear out of a
trivial piece of exaggerated histo­
ry. Maybe Bush missed a few Na­
tional Guard trainings and maybe
Kerry wanted to abolish the CIA.
What matters isn't who these
people were or what they said 30
years ago, but who they are and
what they are saymg now.

The 27th annual Portland In-
ternational Film Festival (PIFF)
begins today and runs through
February 2S, providing Portland
audiences a rare taste of world
cinema at its
best.
o r g a -
nized by the
Nor'thwest
Film Center,
this non-
competitive
festival fo-
cuses pri-
marily on
works cre­
ated outside
the U.s., and
represents
32 countries.
According to
Bill Foster,
director of
the NW
Film Cen­
ter, PIFF is
about, "per­
sonal vision and access to the
divergent ideas and experiences
that lead to individual creativity,
however deployed."
As in the past, many Lewis
& Clark students will be attend­
ing this festival, and individual
language sections are organizing
group outings. The B.ussian Pro­
gram wm be meeting on Monday,
Feb. 16 at 6:00pm to watch The Return, and the German Program
will be meeting Friday, February
20 at 6pm to watch Good Bye,
Lenin and on Saturday, February
21 at 5:45 to watch Distant Lights
This year includes a good mix
of both veteran filmmakers and
up-and-coming directors. Twenty
films are eligible for the Best For­
eign Film Oscar and 14 films are
the debut works of up-and-com­
ing directors. Along with many
features, PIFF will be screening
13 documentaries and 33 shorts.
A major highlight of this year's
festival is the large selection of
Italian films. The Italian film in­
dustry has experienced a major rebirth in the past five years, and,
to showcase this, PIFF will be
screening six new films by clas­
sic Italian film auteurs: Bernardo
Bertolucci (The Dreamers), Pupi
Avati (A Heart Elsewhere), Marco
Bellocchio (Good Morning, Night)
Marco Tul­
lio Gior­

Move over 8.8., Kaki's here
by Jeff Marshall
Forget everything you know
about acoustic guitar. Take some
of the greatest vi rtuosos of the last
century in a variety of idioms­
some kind of combination of Al
Di Meola, Leo Kottke, Django
Reinhardl,joao Gilberto, and An-
-dres Segovia all wrapped up into
one-and what you came up with
still wouldn't sound anything
like Kaki King. Her self-recorded
debut, Everybody Loves You, is a
tour de force. I don't like to exag­
gerate the impact of a recording,
but nonetheless ... nothing in this
world will ever again be the same
for me.
"Okay," you ask, "what exactly
is it that's so special about this al­
bum? Isn't it just some girl play­
ing the guitar? She doesn't even
sing on it." All of what you say is
true. The.only thing you will hear
-is a Single guitar-no vocals, no
band, and no percussion . That
only makes it all the more unbe­
lievable. There are points in the
album where you'll swear that
there is at least a four-piece band.
You'll hear two guitars, a bass,
and hand drums ... and it'll all be
Kaki King playing her beautiful
Ovation Adamas guitar.
Kaki King has recently re-
__ ceived enormous acclaim for her
unorthodox playing style. First,
she uses various non-standard
tunings, playing with the bass
strings of the guitar as many as six
half steps down. Then, she brings
her left hand up over the top of I

the guitar's neck (rather than curl­
ing it around underneath) and
also places her right hand on the
fingerboard, playing the guitar al­
most like it were a piano.
Finally, she slaps both the
strings and the body of the guitar
with both hands for percussive ef­
fects. Two-hand tapping has been
previously used for hard-rock so­
los on electrics, but the only real
precedent for what King does is a
guitarist by the name of Preston
Reed (who she lists as one of her
major influences). Throughout
the album, she taps out a bass line
with her left hand, a complicated,
multi-voiced melody high up on
the neck with her right, and play­
ing the guitar like a drum ... all at
the same time.
Okay, caveat time. I'm a total guitar nerd. And that is part of
what makes this album seem so
absolutely mind-blOwing to me.
But 1 think that even if you don't
play, you'll catch a large part of
the sense of awe in which I regard
it. Even ignoring the technical
aspects, it displays a shimmer­
ing beauty, at times transparent
and fluttery, and at times verg­
ing upon metal-esque speed and
power.
And the super awesome thing
about it is ... she's coming to Port­
land next week. You have two
opportuniti es to go see her-she
opens for Keb' Mo' at the Aladdin
both Wednesday and Thursday
(Feb. IS and 19). It's kind of
pricey ($35), but, trust me, it will
be worth it. Be there. Nothing
else matters.

Monster: Not your fa­
ther's serial killer movie
by Roza Tammer
Monster is the story of real-life
serial killer and prostitute Aileen
Wuornos and her lover, Selby
Wall. Wuornos was executed
in Florida in 2002 after having
confessed to killing seven men
who solicited her services. This
powerful piece of art is the de­
but of writer and director Patty
jenkins.
Aileen, played by model­
turned-actress Charlize Theron,
and Selby, played by Christina
The story is such
a morass of despair
and abuse that any­
thing more com­
plex would have
been distracting.
Ricci, meet in a gay bar. Selby is
a naive, passive, and somewhat
unsuccessful lesbian, and Ai­
leen, a suicidal and alcoholic sex
worker. They move in together,
and Aileen supports them both
by hooking on the freeway. Af­
ter being brutally beaten by one
of her johns, however, Aileen
becomes convinced that most
men are evil and vicious, and
begins a killing spree that even­
tually finances a house that the
two women share ..
While Ricci does a great job
portraying the manipulative ,
and ultimately betraying Selby,
it is Theron who really shines.
She has played the girlfriend
so many times that her role as
Aileen is startling, especially
combined with her unapologetic
performance and transforming
makeup.
jenkins' film is cleanly writ­
ten and directed, and her char­
acters are played out in a mat­
ter-of-fact way; the story is such
a morass of despair and abuse
that anything more complex
would have been distracting.
Instead, jenkins, Theron, and
Ricci focus on the emotionality
of the subject. Aileens desperate
justification of her killings by
Monster is a great
movie, though not
a beautiful one.
assuming that all of her custom­
ers are predatory and dangerous
and the frantic way she clings
to Selby'S destructive love shine
through most clearly.
Sure to spark conversation
about the death penalty, Mon­
ster is a great movie, though
not a beautiful one. Theron and
jenkins have already been nomi­
nated for and won many awards
at many international tilm fes­
tivals, film critics' assQciations,
the Golden Globes, and the Os­
cars. See this film-just not on a
first date. The Perfect Score no­
where close to perfect
by Dave Muller
Did you ever see a movie
that just made you want to
kick someone? Particularly the
writer, director, producer, and
all the actors? If you have not
experience d such bittersweet
exhilaration from an innocent
trip to the movies, go see The
Perfect Score.
The best part of my cinema
experience was bypassing the
box office line and showing the
zit-faced 16-year-old my "press
credentials ." All you suckers
who don't get free passes to
speCial screenings sponsored by
Z-105 (that's right, Z-105) will,
unfortunat ely, miss out on this.
After exclaiming , "No ticket to
tear here, sir!" everything went
downhill. (If I haven't thor­
oughly discourag ed you from
seeing this movie already, then
stop reading. Not only are you
the biggest sucker of them all,
but the movie will be "ruined"
for you in the follOwing para­
graphs).
So, a couple of wholesome,
white, teenage boys don't get the
SAT scores they need to get into
the colleges of their choice. In­
stead of just taking an extra-cur­
ricular test-preparation course
like any normal member of the
upper-middle class, these guys
decide to break into the head­
quarters of ETS (the SAT's par-
Adversi ty is faced,

blah blah blah.
ent conglome rate) and steal all
the answers.
But first, they are obliged to
expand their dream team to in­
clude the super-hot, goodie two­
shoes blonde, the angst-filled
rich girl who hates her father,
the Asian stoner who's secretly
a computer genius, and the star
basketball player with a scholar­
ship to St. john's riding on his
test score.
After 45 minutes of nonde­
script shenanigans , the crew suc­
cessfully infiltrates ETS and gets
the answers they need. Adversi­
ty is faced, love blossoms in un­
usual places, blah blah blah, and
then-get this-THEY DON'T
EVEN USE THE ANSWERS.
That's right, after risking their
lives and somehow succeeding
in their lame-brained heist, they
all decide not to cheat. Their
morals are too. strong and their
honor is uncompromising after
all. I actually booed out loud in
the theater.
So, if you're in need of a
quick lesson on what clothes
to wear, which bands to listen
to, and what roll to fill as an
lS-year-old American, then go
see The Perfect Score. If you go
for any other reason, be sure to
wear your steel-toed boots. +

Thrills & spills for Pio basketball
by Zach Mann
It was supposed to be about
redemption. It was supposed to
be about pride. It was supposed
to be a dogfight. Last Friday
night in Pamplin, an embarrass­
ing 83-48 defeat at the hands of
the Whitworth Pirates was what
it was.
The last time the Pioneer men's
basketball team played Whit­
worth was in jan. 2003 in Spo­
kane. Regulation was not enough
to decide the vic.tor, resulting in
a five-minute overtime period.
When the buzzer finally sounded,
a heartbreak ing one-poin t defeat
for the Pios was all they could
lake home \vith them.
This time around, on their
own court, the fairy tale could
have had a happy ending. In-.
stead, the Pios came oul flat and
were unable to overcome a slug­
gish first half that netted them 19
points of total offense. The Pios
made only eight of 30 shots in
that half, arguably their worst of­
fensive production of the season.
The Pirates, on the other hand,
could not miss. Converting 20 of
their 31 attempts from the field,
Whitworth shot at an amazing
64 percent, including 61 percent
from beyond the arc (8-13) in the
first half alone. PHOTO BY AARON VANDENBERG
