AIDS forum raises
campus awareness StudE~nts will vote on
propc)sal to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by Kate Ablutz
International AIDS Aware­
ness Week was brought power­
fully to campus last Wednesday
in a student-organized forum
on the effects of AIDSIHIV in
our community and the world.
The forum featured testimoni es
of people with HIV and AIDS, a
medical specialist , a lewis
&"Clark College student and
alumni involved in AIDS activ­
ism locally and worldwide.
First to present were three
women from the Women's In-
tercommu nity AIDS Resource
(WIAR- pronounced 'we are'),
a Portland nonprofit organiza­
tion that provides counseling
and assistance to local women
and their families affected by
AIDS. The women shared mov­
ing stories of their own physi­
cal, emotional and social
struggles with AIDS and HIY.
Next was Dr. Paul Lewis, a
speCialist in pediatric medicine
and infectious disease, who
runs a clinic for children with
AIDS and HIV in Portland . Dr.
Lewis discussed the huge ad-vances in AIDS treatment and
vaccination in the past few years.
With today's treatment and edu­
cational programs, "An optimist
would say we could eradicate this
disease in this country," he said.
His description of the global
epidemic was far less hopeful. In
sub-Saharan Africa AIDS is the
leading cause of death, he said,
with an estimated 3.4 million
new cases of HIV in 2001 com­
pared to 45,000 new cases in
North America.
The forum was organized by
5 lC students who are a part of
World Camp For Kids, a non­
governmental organization
founded and run in large part by
lC students. World Camp leads
educational programs for chil­
dren in some of the countries
most terribly effected by the AIDS
epidemic (for the full story on
World Camp for Kids, see the
Nov. 30, 2001 Pioneer log).
lC students are also active in
local programs to help those ef­
fected by HIV/AIDS . These activi­
ties were represented at the fo­
rum by recent LC alumnus Dayna
Kirk, who is deeply involved in
local AIDS activism. Among the
organizations she works with is
For Us Northwest, which hosts
an after school program for kids
with HIV/AIDS or with family
members who have it. Another is
Africa AIDS Response, a group
working to raise money and sup­
port for desperately needed medi­
cal facilities in African countries.
For information on these pro­
grams, World Camp for Kids, and
other volunteer programs, con­
tact Terry Tolly, the CSAW health
advocacy student coordinator at
tooley@lclark.edu . by Joe Clock
On Dec. 5 ASlC held a forum
to inform students about their
proposal to raise student fees by
ten dollars in order to make
lewis &" Clark compliant with
the Kyoto Protocol on green­
house gas emissions. Students
will vote on the proposal in Feb­
ruary.
To follow the Kyoto protocol
lC would need to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions to
seven percent below their 1990
level, which according to a col­
lege funded research project
conducted last summer by stu­
dents and professors , is a reduc­
tion of 3,250 tons of carbon di­
oxide from the college'S current
level.
The proposal would reduce
the college'S emissions by pur­
chaSing offsets from the Climate
Trust, a nonprofit firm. By pur­
chaSing "onsets" the college
would be funding projects out­
side of lC to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions through renew-able energy, forestry projects,
and upgraded heating systems
among others.
The "offsets" that the college
would buy from the Climate
Trust would cost five dollars for
every ton of carbon dioxide. Sev­
eral firms sell "offsets" and ASlC
has found the Climate Trust's
"offsets" to be well monitored
and well enforced.
In February ASlC will hold
an online election to determine
whether the student body sup­
ports this proposal. They have
already received 35 signatures in
support of the proposal in order
to hold the election. If a major­
ity of the student body approves
of the proposal ASlC council
will request the increase in fees
from the Board of Trustees at
their February meeting, and if
the board approves the increase
it will take effect in fall of 2002.
Student fees are currently $200.
If the proposal were accepted
the college'S greenhouse gas
emissions would be calculated
each summer and approved by
a facult member.

New residence hall tours show what blueprints can't
by Liz Miller
The source of misery to
many Forest residents, dis­
turbed by the sound of con­
struction , the new residence
halls, are now open for tours. A
tour of the construction site can
help potential future residents
of the new halls get a better idea
of what they might be getting
into when they apply to live in
one of the new units. Sandi
Bottemiller, Director of Resi­
dential Services, said, "We feel
like it was important to get stu­
dents up there to see it. It's easy
to talk about it, but seeing it is
something else." Tours have
been offered weekly and will
continue to be until March 15,
2002, the deadline for applica­
tions, and then be continued
only as long as student interest
continues.
A tour includes, along with
a stylish hard hat and safety
glasses, a trip through one of the
partially complete residenc e While construction continues on the new residence hallsr
tours give a sense of the size of rooms and the general
layout of the apartment style units,
houses, including opportuni ties
to examine both a two-bedroom
and four-bedroom unit. Barring
inclement conditions, the tour
also includes a trip to the site of
the future convenience store and
cafe, located on the first Ooor of
one of the buildings . The tours
are lead by a member of the con­
struction staff and Bottemiller ,
who describe what the skeleton
walls will eventually enclose and point out details like wall out­
lets and phone jacks. Students
on the tour can walk through the
rooms to get an idea of how big
they are and where the bath­
room, closets, and kitchen are
located.
Incidentally, the tour may
also include treks through mud
and puddles (sometimes on
Ooors), so wear your good walk­
ing shoes, and climbing up tem-porary scaffolding ladders -an
unnerving experience for those
a little frightened of heights.
It is a trip worth taking for
students who consider making
the new residence halls their "----We feel like it was
important to get

dence halls]. It's easy
to talk about it, but

prints and sketches are not
enough, a tour is an excellent
way to get a good representation

2 Pioneer log SAAB SC4DOP Crime Beat
by Buzzy Nielsen
Well, folks, this will be the
last SAAB Scoop of the semes­
ter. Last Thursda y, we had our
final SAAB meeting of the semes­
ter. Please allow me to take this
opportunity to thank you all for
what has been a marvelous se­
mester in SAAB. We couldn't do
what we do with your support.
And now, without further ado,
l'lltell you a bit about the grants
that we funded.
Assuredly you have all heard
about Dr. Kellar Autumn 's re­
search on geckos. Well, sopho­
more psychology and computer
science double major Amanda
Gassett is directly researching "----Remember, next
semester we have
more money to fund
your amazing
projects. Performance
applications will be
due between the 6th
and 8th weeks of the
semester, and Re­
search applications
between the 1 Oth
and 12th weeks.
Conference and Visit­
ing Scholar applica­
tions will be reviewed
on a weekly basis. -----"
the geckos with Kellar. Just last
week, she received $506 to at­
tend the Society for Integrative
Biology 2002 ·Annual Meeting.
She will not only get to network
with many professionals , but she
will also attend many sessions.
The one of particular interest to
her is on adhesion , led by Dr.
Autumn and his colleague. At­
tending this session will greatly
help her in her position as se­
nior researcher in the lab next
year and help her focus her own
area of research regarding gec­
koso
Have you ever wondered
what it's actually like to be in
graduate school? Well, several
Natural Science majors will soon
find out thanks toJunior Chem-istry major Lynelle Tarter, who
received a grant of $200 to bring
Tina Saxowsky, an LC alumna,
to speak about her graduatc
school experiences and her re­
search in biochemistry. Tina's
talk will surely help many stu­
dents interested in hearing the
real scoop about what graduate
school is like.
Ever have problems with
your memory? I know I certainly
do, especially when I'm study­
ing for a test. Well, Kate
Gessford, Rosalee Rasmussen,
and Jason Huff, all senior bio­
chemistry majors, are trying to
find out why. They are research­
ing the protein responsible for
long-term memory formation .
Each of t.hem has been accepted
to a poster competitio n at the
2002 Experimental Biology
Conference in April. They will
present their various aspects of
research and compete against
other schools. They will also
have an opportunity to network
with professionals in biochem­
istry. They will surely represent
LC well!
That's all I have for grants.
Remember, next semester we
have more money to fund your
amazing projects. Performanc e
applications will be due between
the 6lh and 8th weeks of the se­
mester, and Research applica­
tions between the 10th and 12th
weeks. Conference and Visiting
Scholar applications will be re­
viewed on a weekly basis. Check
with me for exact weekly dead­
lines.
Finally, I just wanted to give
you a heads up about what top­
ics SAAB plans to address next
semester. First, I'm sure that you
all have plenty to say about In­
venting America. Well, we want
to hear it because we'll be re­
viewing that program nest se­
mester. Inventing America is up
for review next year, so we
thought we'd-jump on it and dis­
cuss it early. Second, we plan to
address the issue of general edu­
cation requirements. How many
should we have? What should
they be? If you have opinions on
either of these topics, feel free
to email me at saab@lclark.edu.
Again, thank you all for a
great semester, and J hope that
the end of the semester goes well
for all of you. Have a peachy
winter break, now, ya hear? by Julie Layton Couch

ASLC Update
by Shannon Chaney
It has been a busy week for
ASLC council, here is what went
on. The ROPs for Charter &:
Budget Commission are being
reviewed and Lakin is also look­
ing for new members for CBC.
Chief Justice Julian updated
some climate neutrality data for
the upcoming election and went
to a meeting with Laughing
Horse Books, a bookselling co­
operative in Portland . The elec­
tion plan has changed and the
elecLion will now be for raising
student fees by $10 to meet
Kyoto Protocol. Buzzy attended
the CAP meeting on behalf of
SAAB, and final report forms
also went out to students whose
grant cycles are ending. The
plan for getting masseuses in the
library during finals hit some
rough water, but Satya is not let­
ting that stop her. Satya also sent
out her Current Events Forum
proposal to the faculty. Hannah
is still working on LC Olympics
despite the general lack of inter­
est on behalf of studenlS and hall
councils. ISLC has decided on
the theme and logo for the In­
ternational Fair. GAB is working
on a new application and also
there is a possibilit y of an online
application in the future to re­
duce paper waste and time.
Council discussed some ways to ease the planning ofLC Olym­
pics in the future. Currentl y the
whole ordeal rests mainly on the
shoulders of Hannah Bryant, the
Hall Council Liaison. Cody had
idea of creating a student group
to be the driving force behind
the event in the future -Coun­
cil should not institutionalize
any event. There was also dis­
cussion on the topic of Council
restructuring . The possibili ty of
removing the ISLC Representa­
tive from Council since ISLC is
more of a student group, and
replaCing the empty position
with either a general Vice Presi­
dent or splitting the current VP
for Budget &: Finance position
into two: Treasurer and GAB
Chair. Some title changes will
also occur: the ChidJustice will
become the PRB Chair and the
VP for Student Academic Affairs
will become the SAAB Chair.
Discussion on this topic will re­
sume in the spring. At the last
meeting, Julian asked for
Council's approval to send an
email to the faculty requesting
their booklists so ASLC could
put them online to give stuclents
a chance to buy their books early
and from the source of their
choice. In the future booklists
might be listed on department
pages or even at the end of class
deseri ptions on the registrar 's
web page.

Women's basketball wins big
by Zach Mann
They Oew from thousands of
miles away. Stayed in hotels for
three nights. Yet, they" still had
to eat the delicacies that are Bon
food. The Bon Appetite classic
held at Pamplin Sports center
was the basketball Mecca of Or­
egon this past weekend pitting
two teams from the East Coast
against two powerhouses of the
Northwest Conference . Lesley
College of Massachusetts and
the College of Notre Dame of
Maryland made the transconti­
nental excursion to the rains of
the Northwest.
After a split in the first tour­
nament of the season, Lewis &
Clark were looking to make a
statement at home. Energized
out of the gates, they were on the
verge of breezing to a first round
victory against the College of
Notre Dame Gators. sixth year
head coach Missy Smith, who
watched in vain as the comfort­
able lead of twenty points slowly
dissolved in the second half, at­
tributes the loss of composure to
a "Oat defense," poor execution
on offense, and a lack of team
defense.
The Gators took advantage of
this situation hitting a barrage of
three point shots, eventually ty­
ing the game with just over two
minutes to play. The expressions
on the faces of the Pi as tQld the
whole story. Never trailing the
entire game, LC was faced with
a dramati.c task to gut out this
victory against a resilient foe.
A missed Gator free throw
with 18 seconds left allowed the
Pi os a chance to tie with a two,
or win with a three. Pushing the
ball down the court, Kim
McBride hit a posting Brynn
Henkel who, over the top of her
defender, dished the ball to
freshmen Talia Hristou who laid
it in for two as time expired
sending the game into overtime
with a score of 64-64. By now,
the crowd had become restless. The chanting of "Defense!" a
thought that never crossed the
minds of the Pio faithful had
now become routine in this tight
affair. A bad taste began to
spread through the mouths of all
who came to support the ladies
in white.
The momentum entering the
overtime was on the side of the
Pioneers after the game tying
shot settled in. A rejuvenated
bench and an endless supply of
nervous energy allowed LC to
jump to a four-pOint lead, 68-64
in the first minute of OT.
Battling again, Notre Dame
used the Pios aggressiveness to
their advantage , shooting free
throws and putting Henkel into
foul trouble while already deal­
ing small forward Diedra Wilson
her fifth foul. The swing in
tempo came after a Gator guard
hit a three to tie the game at 72.
Later, trailing by two, Henkel
went to the line with under a
minute remaining. Her free
throws tied the game at 74. Af­
ter a turnover and a foul, fresh­
men guard Kayla Bewersdorff
was unable to convert on the 1
and 1, sending the game into the
difference making second OT.
The game was now entering
its third laborious hour. The
players were exhausted and the
coaching staff was still stressing
defense and execut'ion. Like two
heavyweight boxers, these two
teams took blow for blow with­
out staggering until the end. The
biggest blow was lOSing Henkel
in the second OT on her fifth
foul. The Pi os were still reeling
from the loss of Wilson in regu­
lation and now lost their most
experienced ball handler.
McBride and the rest of the
team responded with energy and
a sense of urgency realizing that
this game was not going to make
it into a third overtime. A minute
remained when McBride was
fouled on her drive in the lane.
Making both free throws, the
Pios regained the lead at 80-79. The next possession ended in a
turnover as a traveling call on
the Gators put the ball back into
the hands of McBride who was
fouled immediately. Going to
the line for a chance to put LC
up by three, a split at the stripe
was all she wrote giving the hot­
handed Gators a chance to win
with a three pointer.
The crowd was feverishly
chanting "defense" as Notre
Dame weaved through the de­
fense. With 16 seconds remain­
ing, Gator guard Amanda
Poppleton with a hand in her
face nailed her third three
pointer of the night to put the
Gators up by one.
With no timeouts remaining ,
the scoreboard kept flashing
numbers that continued to be­
come smaller and smaller. End­
ing up in t.he corner, the ball
nestled nicely into Bewersdorff
anxiously waiting hands.
"We needed to score. It was
not something I ever expect
myself to ble in. It's a great feel­
ing," said Bewersdorff describ­
ing the feeling of a hitting the
game-winning jumper.
The Gators still had five des­
perate seconds to score. A failed
three at the buzzer allowed the
coaches , fans, and the ex­
hausted players to finally crack
a victorious smile.
The eventual positive out-.
come of the marathon match up
proved the heart and leadership
of this team. An easy win the
next night over Lesley College
enticed the opposing coach to
ask if his own coaches could
"suit up" midway through the
second half.
With eight new players lac­
ing up for the Pios, in many
ways they are still rebuilding .
Coach Smiith is aware of the
negativity surrounding the term
rebuilding and emphaSizes that
this team is "Turning it around
and compe ~ing." After winning
only four games last year, al­
ready three victories are under Upcoming ' Pionee'rSports

their belt with mostly new faces.
Five transfer students are lay­
ing the foundation for this youth
movement, none more important
then sophomore standout guard
Henkel, who is leading the Pi as
in scoring and assists. Making her
home in Missoula , Montana, she
always wanted to play college
basketball.
"It was always my dream to go
Division I out of high school."
This dream landed her at the
University of San Francisco
'where she was gaining experi­
ence at the college level. Seeing a
better opportunity to enjoy the
sport and be closer to family,
Lewis & Clark became a more
convenient and enjoyable fit. "My family is by far the most
important people in my life. I
know they are my biggest fans,"
said Henkel during a pre-game
workout.
In regards to playing at the
Division III level now, "It is not
about the division. It's about the
coaches and the team. I am
happy where I am and I am
happy that I transferred ,"
This unselfish attitude will al­
low the Pios to garner respect
and notoriety as they trek
through the demanding and ex­
hausting season. Now, not only
will the men's team get Pamplin
rocking but also the women will
turn up the heat on cold winter
nights on Palatine Hill.
Note to LC students: sports better than porn
by John Koehn
This is just a brief message
to lC sports fans. Just a small
editorial to the student body.
This is just how I see it, and I
could be wrong. Call it a
causal observation or an un­
solicited comment~ry. Call it
what you will, but hear ,me
out.
Here at Lewis Est Clark, ,
"there are nine varSity sports
for bot.h men and women. In
addition, there are many
quality club sports programs.
A huge portion of students
here participate in athletics.
The question that I have
for you out there reading this
is: how often do you get out
to support your classmates?
When was the last time you
took in a Pioneer athletic
event?
We've got a nationally
ranked basketball program
here atle, and that's not all. . J This upcoming season brings
not only men's and women's bas­
ketball into the spotlight, but
varsity swimming as well. LC's
excellent tennis program begins
its season in February, and the
other spring sports are npt far
behind.
Aside from varsity sports, the
men's hockey team will soon
take the ice in Portland, and
other club sports, such as La­
crosse are eagerly awaiting the
start of their seasons.
So take the opportunity to
check out a game or two. Make
the walk down to Pamplin
Sports Center and check out
some hoops. Perhaps you could
even bear the trek down to the
tennis dome to take in a match.
Hell, you might even like it.
Don't complain that you have
too much work or are too hung
over. The lC ~thletes are just as
stressed (and no comment on
the hangovers) as you. are;
Maybe you hate sports and are too enamored with your video
games. Kudos to you, but once
you've finally beaten Tony
Hawk for the eleventh time, try
devoting a fraction of your at­
tention to a swim meet.
Maybe you hate sports but
you enjoy yelling things. Well,
why not yen things at a basket­
ball game? The fate ofLC sports
does not rest on your shoulders
-the tealll5' will win or lose re­
gardless of !your presence.
Think albout it like this: the
AClU will not wither and die
in pathetic apathy if you don't
donate your yearly five dollars.
But you, the good liberal that
you are, donate still. Because
you care. So donate a little of
your time to an lC sports team.
I applaud the support that
the athleti(!; teams give to their
fellow programs here at lC. For
instance; those of you who were
out this faI[ to see the football
"team battle it out; you might
havenotil ~ed the volleyball girls-front and center cheering
on the football team. Anyone
who knows Pioneer athletics
knows that the biggest fans ofLC
basketball are the football play­
ers. While they might be raucous
and rowdy, they help invigorate
the sometimes stagnant atmo­
sphere of Pamplin.
There are always athletes at .
plays, music performances, and
lectures who not only support
their fellow students : but who
enjoy being a part of this com­
munity. Why not retu.m the fa­
vor and check out a hockey game
or a swimming meet? Do your
part to become a member of the
LC community. Although cliche,
it's the season to give, and your
support would be very appreci­
ated.
Now while we might not be
able to fill the bleachers like
Safeco in September, it would be
great to see an ocean of orange
and black rooting for Victory. We
might'not have cheerleaders or ...
December 7, 2001 well, cheerleaders -but we've
got some damn fine athletic
programs . So come down
from your tree sitting or your
(insert corporation de jour
here) protest and make your
way to a Pioneer game.
QUicker than you can say
'Jack Daniels" you'll be hav­
ing more fun than Robert
Downey Jr. at a frat party.
0.0 you disagree? Is porn
better than sports? Write the
Piolog at box 121 with your
comments.
What? You don't want to
destroy our environment? Then
email piolog@lclark.edu with
comments.
You refuse to conform to the
capitalistic society by using a
computer? You can call x7146
and we will ignore your call.
What? Poor, dumb, and tele­
phone-less? Tough luck punk.

ity and foresight.
I introduce this fable to offer
a different perspective on the
idea of charity. Too often in this
society, the economically disad­
vantaged are labeled to be lazy
and irresponsible. We regard
charity as an act of condescen­
sion in which the well to do
"ants" shepherd the poor "grass­
hoppers", who for some arcane
reason deserve their poverty in
the first place.
But charity can be a positive
force that fills gaping holes in the
patchwork quilt that is eco­
nomic opportunity in the United
States. Although the organiza­
tions and services that receive
this support operate year-round,
charitable giving typically
reaches a highpoint during the
holiday season, when guilt or
good will spurs consumers to
think more kindly toward the
needy.
Don't worry: they're not really hippies
by Heather Mooney jocks, and 7 percent outdoorsy
Rich hippies. One of the most
beautiful college campuses in
the US. Low school spirit. Highly
active campus. Love of the out­
doors. Upper middle class and
liberal. Laid back with romance ,
filled with rumors. More or less,
that is how LC is described in
college books.
That's great and all, and it
seems to add up to a pretty ac­
curate description, but I really
wanted to know what the cur­
rent student body thinks. So I
created a shoddy survey that was
distributed randomly to various
students at the Bon and in front
ofWatzek. Two Intro. to Sociol-
ogy classes were also given sur­
veys but only 6 of roughly 40 re­
turned them. In the end, about
25 students from each class were
surveyed. Let's first see what the
results were, and then we'll fig­
ure out what to make of them.
How much of a party school
is LC? 41 percent claimed some­
what, 31 percent a fair amount,
24 percent a httle bit, 3 percent
not at all and only 1 percent
claimed extremely.
More interestingly is the re­
sponse to the question of what
images are portrayed at LC. 59
percent of students said hippies.
Of that 59 percent, 7 percent
were dirty hippies, 4 percent
were naked hippies and 14 per­
cent were rich hippies. 17 per­
cent of the students said liber-
als, 14 percent radical activists,
7 percent stoners, 7 percent types and artists. Academics re­
ceived only 5 percent. When
asked which of these images are
the most prominent 40 percent
said hippies or yippies (yuppie
hippies).
Here's what I think. Our cam­
pus is predominately pseudo­
hberal, jeans and T-shirt wear­
ing kids. We really have no hip­
pies. As many claimed on our
surveys what we have or call
hippies on this campus are re­
ally "trustafarians ", "hippies in
jeeps" or "yippies". Oddly
enough, because everyone else
more or less does their own so­
cial thing, the hippies are the
ones with the most distingUish­
ing images, so they get pegged
as the typical LC student when
in fact, it's not really that way.
Another fallacy I would like
to point out is regarding our \i.b­
eral stance and strong political
activism on campus. When stu­
dents were asked what the most
predominate political view on
campus is 71 percent said lib­
eral yet 21 percent of that had
negative adjective enhance­
ment: 8 percent left wing, 7 per­
cent was anti-government, 7
percent democrat, 5 percent
green party, 1 percent republi.­
can and 1 percent anti-capital­
ists.
I think the only reason every­
one thinks this campus is lib­
eral is because the liberals and
the radical activists are the only
ones making the noise. They
make tons of it all the time, but do they really ever accomplish
anything outside of this campus
aside from making signs and stig­
matizing our campus political
identity? I claim that our cam­
pus is really not that liberal be­
cause of all the discussions I've
had with fellow students. Their
viewpOints have been surpris­
ingly conservative.
It makes sense too. Of course
a more realistic mentality of this
" The only reason ev-
eryone thinks this
campus is liberal is
because the liberals
and the radical activ­
ists are the only ones
making the noise. ------" campus is conservative. Look
at our lack of diverSity. We
have very little economic ,
racial or social diversity. Stu­
dents recogniz e this. Not
only are our grounds pol­
ished, well trimmed and in­
credibly manicured but so is
our student body. It's full of
upper class, pseudo-liberal
kids. One student put it best.
"This is a school for upper
middle class kids with a tinge
of rebelliousness in them."
Here these "rebellious and
liberal" kids can, among the
same homogen eous group of
kids, smoke the weed Ollt,
explore a bit of those radical
ideas and then graduate right
into the status quo. Great. If
that's what you want, then do
it, but at least acknowledge
the reality of your situation.
December 7, 2001 by Aaron Green
Okay guys, I'm frightened.
Some of you are apparently run­
ning around in my head. That, or
we're living freakishly similar lives.
Last week I told you all about my
(current) love problems and asked
for advice. A few of you either take
a vested interest in my love life,
or are professional advice givers.
Some of the best advice I received
was (rom a reader who said:
"If I were Aaron Green, I'd talk
to Evan and explain that while he's
only interested in drunken ran­
dom sex, I'm interested in,
well .... him. And if he gets all de­
fensive or uncomfortable or what­
ever, write him off as a user. But 1
have a feeling that since this hap­
pened twice that there is obviously
some kind of connection . He's
probably just been hurt recently,
so try to take it slow and maybe
he'll come around."
Precisely! At least, that's what I
thought until Thursday rolled
around and everything changed.
What started as a chance street en­
counter ended up being a 12-hour
substance 'n sex marathon. And
when I say marathon, 1 mean
marathon . As exhausted as I was
(I'm sure that he was tired, too), I
stayed up the night worrying . I fi­
nally rea1ized, as this reader did:
"1 think you need to stay away
from the bar! It'll be so hard, but
you have to divert yourself, and if
you do go back, you might have
something interesting to talk
about besides the bar."
The point, of course, is that the
problem and the solution were in
front of me the entire time. Nei­
ther of us took a chance to know
one another on a level outside of
the bar; we always had the alco­
hol 1O loosen us up and to make
us say and do things that we
wouldn't normally do. This son of
makes me sad. 1 wish that I had
the strength to approach a guy
without having alcohol fuel myac­
tions. Instead, Evan and I haven't
talked since Thursday, and I'm not
putting money on a future rela­
tionship.
So my decision this week has
been to take alcohol out of the
equation. I'm not saying that it's a
permanent thing, but that I need
to be able to find myself and "be"
that person, because drunken
hookups are all that will happen
when I'm not myself. Ugh.
Frankly, it sounds like more work
than it might be worth. At the very
least, however, it'll be an experi­
ment (and I'll get to see first-hand
the effects of alcohol detox).
Don't worry, kids -I'm not turn­
ing all sentimental on you! In fact,
my favorite piece of advice was: "If
the booty is good, enjoy it for what
it is: hot ass." Words to live by! As
most of you now know, those are
words that I have (and do) live by!
But just remember -set expecta­
tions with yourself before you start
setting them with other people.
Because there's nothing worse than
feeling like a cheap whore after a
night (or a day, in my case) of fun­
filled, substance-fueled sex. Well,
there are, but that's a completely
different subject.

R-E-S-P-E-C- T: try to move beyond grade 3
by Erin Haiek
Maybe I missed the sign at the
start of the year. Everyone
knows, with the hectic pace of
starting classes, activities, and
everything else, it's possible I
missed this important an­
nouncement : Now entering
Lewis & Clark High School.
Given the respect and matu­
rity currently being demon­
strated by some of the student
body, even if no announcement
was ever made, the label still rits.
I speak, of course, of the ram­
pant vandalism and graffiti that's
been cropping up on campus.
Between graffiti in the bath­
rooms, fire extinguishers
sprayed through hallways, and
broken vending machines across
campus, LC has apparently re­
gressed away from the maturity
that college is supposed to both
teach and epitomize.
Because some things might
go unnoticed in a busy sched­
ule, here's a recap. For starters,
the copy machine in Templeton
is now debit because of repeated
problems with stolen money.
The vending machine in
Dubach lounge has been broken
three times since the beginning
of Spring 2001, each time cost­
ing around $200 with repairs
and lost goods. Fire extinguish­
ers are a nice $75 to refill, not
including this does not include
chemical damage to dorms and
bUildings.
Clearly, it's a case of lack of
respect. We're told over and over
again that the college is our
house, and "why would some­
one destroy part of their house?"
Whether you believe that or not,
Pig!
" it is a matter of respect for
the rest of the students,
who use facilities pro­
vided by the college, even
if you yourself do not. It's
also a maller of respect
for the hard work that
created the bUildings and
keeps them clean and
useable.
Only a few years ago,
the campus was fired up
by talk of helping janitors
unionize ; the current
rash of vandalism shows
no interest in serving
anyone except them­
selves. The perpetrators
seem to think that every­
thing is here for their per­
sonal, uninterrupted use,
whatever the cost in
money or time.
If the idea of respect
doesn't hit home, maybe
increased students fees
will. Lamentation fills the
air every spring when we
discover how much more h d' b 'Id' our education will cost us Graffiti like this has been found in Templeton, Watzek, and various ot er Aea em Ie UI Ings

Cayley Bell: the face behind the lens
by Edmund Donnelly
Senior Cayley Bell's experi­
ence represents the endless edu­
cational possibilities at Lewis &:
Clark College. An English and
art double major, he is extremely
involved in photography , and
has been able to pursue his ar­
tistic interests extensively while
also building a strong academic
foundation.
Bell attended high school in
Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he
first became interested in pho­
tography . After graduating, he
traveled throughout Europe,
mostly in Italy and France, and
began to realize that photogra­
phy could be used as a form of
serious artistic expression rather
than as a mere pastime. Focus­
ing on "cityscapes," he photo­
graphed scenes that he felt
would "capture the essence or
character of a place." "Florence
was the pinnacle ," he said. "I
loved the architecture and the
incredible amount of artistic his­
tory in the city." While it has
never been a serious career con­
sideration, photography became
a passion for him during this
trip.
Initially, Bell was frustrated
by the inaccessibility of photo
classes at LC, though he has
been encouraged by the expan­
sion of the program over the
years. He cites the addition of a
student-run darkroom in the
Platteau , along with photo
classes becoming more acces­
sible and diversified, as the most
positive changes he has ob­
served.
Bell also says that working
with Robert Miller, the head of
the photography program , and
Susan Davis, the head of the
dance program, has helped "ex­
pose him to the arts at Lewis &:
Clark," as well as the wide range
of artistic possibilities available
to students. "It is because of
this," he says, "that I have been Cayley Bell, pictured above, has explored his interests in both art and English at LC. His picture of the cathedral Mont­
Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, at right, reflects his interest in architecture, a direction he plans to explore after
graduating this spring.
able to become artistically con­
nected with the student body."
His favorite photographic op­
portunity is the Dance Extrava­
ganza, where the fluid, elegant motion of the dancers provides
enormous artistic possi bilities
and challenges . He has two ex­
amples of this displayed on his
wall, each of which shows bright, streaked figures seem­

class. He believes that it is an
important balance in any sched­
ule, and can reveal hidden tal­
ents regardless of how artisti­
cally inexperienced a person
may be. Though his carecr plans
do not involve photography in
any way, it is a passion that he is
thankful he was able to develop
throughout his education.
At this point, he is essentially
fOCUSing on two directions after
graduation. One possibility is
architecture school, and he plans
to attend an intensive six-week
program at Harvard School of
Design to determine if architec­
ture would be a viable career
path. He is also considering film
school, explaining that he has
"always been interested in mov­
ies and the process of making
them." Though he admits that
he doesn't know what element
of filmmaking he will focus on,
Bell may depend on his English
major to help him write screen­
plays. Regardless of what he
chooses, however, photography
will always be an important part
of his life, and he says that this
is due in large part to the educa­
tional opportunities he found at

Art prof exhibition: greatest thing since sliced bread?
by Andrew Zahler
Standing in the Margo
Jacobsen Gallery in Portland 's

tonight," Yes, a professor of art

Her exhibition, titled "Daily

most spectators would take for
granted, a Single slice of white

colorful, innovative images. And

childhood , Yes explains, she was first attracted to the idea of "tak­
ing something routine, and mak­
ing it not routine."
In pursuit of this goal, Yes cre­
ated several series of ten paint­
ings dedicated to a theme or idea
that challenges our utilitarian
conceptions of bread. For ex­
ample, one set of paintings in­
corporates plastiC bread bags
from around the world, calling
into question the Americanness
of sliced bread. By incorporating
bright colors, Japanese calligra­
phy, and African patterns into
other series, Yes draws attention
to white bread as a social image.
Other groupings vacillate be­
tween playfulness and serious­
ness. All demonstrate imagina­
tion, creative uses of mixed me­
dia, and precision of style. The
show includes motifs of the
American flag ("All American
White Bread Series"); noses
("Smells Good Series"); birds
("Bread as Bird Food Series");
African tribal patterns ("White
Bread Trying to Fit In in Africa
Series"); art movements ("Fau­
vist White Bread Series"); and
8 Pioneer Log December 7, 2001 kitchen implements ("Toasters
PastiPresent Series").
The works were all painted
on relatively small canvases (8"
x 7"). The size and 'number of
the paintings is Significant. In
the fall of 1999, Yes led the LC
New York City program. She
developed the idea of creating
one bread painting every day for
the duration of the program­
one hundred days. By the end of
the program, Yes had covered the
walls of her hotel room. Because
of space Iim~tations , the paint­
ings were necessarily small. As
the name implies, "Daily Bread"
applies this same pace of produc­
tion to the course of a year.
According to Yes's statement
on her website, "I like to think
of myself as holding a mirror to
society, offering food for
thought," she says. Whether
frivolous or questioning of
accepted sodal norms, all 365
paintings in the "Daily Bread"
exhibition force the viewer to
regard white bread from
completely unantiCipated
perspectives . COURTESY PHYLLIS YES
In these nine selection5 from the "Wonder Pop Series," art
professor Phyllis Yes combines white bread with the pop
art movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Fritzman adds humor to philosophical inquiry
by Liz Hummer
There is a framed photo of
philosophers Michel Foucault
and Jean-Paul Sanre in philoso­
phy Professor John Fritzman's
office. This picture is interesting
because it shows the two men,
who disagreed philosophically,
together at a protest.
"They seem happy," FriLzman
says, "but what I like about this
picture is that it looks to me like
Sanre is laughing at someone
who just fell in the mud-it 's a
son of malicious chuckle. But
Foucault has just put on the
back of Sanre something that
says, 'I'm an Existentialist. Kick
me,' or something, because
Foucault's really laughing."
This is just a glimpse of the
humor that Fritzman brings to
the philosophy department at
Lewis & Clark College. Beneath
the jokes, however, nows an un­
deniable intelligence and pas­
sion for philosophy that
Fritzman passes onto his stu­
dents.
Fritzman has taught a range
of courses including Aesthetics,
Logic, Social and Political
Theory, and Feminist Theory
since his arrival at LC in 1999.
On sabbatical this semester, he
has recently published an article
entitled, "Return to Hegel," in
which he rethinks his previous
criticisms of the philosopher
discussed in an earlier article,
"Escaping Hegel."
Hegel, a nineteenth- century
German idealist, is one of
friLzman's favorite philoso­
phers, along with Kant, Marx,
and Nietzsche. This is no secret
to one who has seen Fritzman's
office, complete with a stuffed
Nietzsche adorning a bookshelf
and cartoon depicted Marx on
the door. No one would accuse
Fritzman of taking himself too
seriously.
Fritzman 's path to LC is no
more usual than the man him­
self. He was born and grew up
in Salem, Ohio, a town that "is famous for two reasons," he says.
"One is that it was founded by
Quakers , and it was then a ma­
jor station on the Underground
Railroad. Secondly, it was the site
of the second women's rights
convention." It is no surprise
that a man who defies conven­
tion should come out of a town
that did the same thing.
As the time for college coin­
cided with the Vietnam War,
Fritzman chose a school with a
traditionally peaceful stand,
Eastern Mennonite College in
Virginia. Although the small, re­
ligious school was in line with
Fritzman 's political views regard­
ing the war, it was very conser­
vative. "If someone smoked or
drank or danced they were im­
mediately and permanently ex­
pelled from the school," he ex­
plains.
After graduati ng in 1977,
Fri tzman spent several years at
a Mennonite seminary i.n Indi­
ana. "I wanted to go into phi.loso­
phy," he says, "and at the time,
it seemed sensible to first go to
seminary." Fritzman worked as
a groundskeeper at the seminary
and took some philosophy
courses at the Universi.ty of
Notre Dame along the way, along
with a year of Latin study.
Eventually, he made it to
graduate school at Purdue Uni­
versity, which is also in Indiana.
He chose the school because it
is one of the few pluralist schools
in the nati.on, meaning i.t allows
students to study both Anglo­
American philosophy and Con­
tinental (mainly French and Ger­
man) philosoph y. The choice
was made easier by the four years
of funding the institution gave
to Fritzman.
The job market for philoso­
phers was quite bad, Fritzman
says, upon his graduation from
Purdue i.n 1991. He spent one
year teaching at Washington
State Universi ty, followed by an­
other year teaching at Nonhern
Illinois University. These spurts
of employment gave way to a
period of three years in which

... but we would love your help next semester. ~ Philosophy professor John Fritzman's educational and career paths have taken him to
Eastern Mennonite University, a Mennonite seminary, the University of Notre Dame and
Purdue University.
Fritzman had no steady teach­
ing job. Consequently, to sup­
port himself while teaching ad­
junct in the evenings and on
weekends at some small Chi­
cago-area colleges, Fritzma n
worked full-time at a
telemarket.ing firm.
As part of the customer com­
plaints section, Fritzman had to
deal with unhappy customers
who had purchased vacations
plans or car breakdown plans
that the company sold. "Believe
it or not, t.hey sold dismember­
ment policies," Fritzman says.
"You can sell anything over the phone and some numbskull will
buy it." He maintains, however ,
that he has no interesting stories
of irate customers, "just a lot of
cursing."
After leaving the world of
telemarketing , Fritzman as­
sumed a teaching position at
Southwest Missouri State Uni­
versity for two years, before
coming to LC. When asked why
he decided to teach at LC,
Fritzman simply responds,
"They offered me a job." Upon
further inquiry, however,
Fritzman divulges, "I was very
impressed wi.th the students and the fact that many of the them
are on financial aid, which
seemed to me to indicate that the
College thinks it's important to
have a di.versity of students, at
least an economic kind of diver­
Sity."
Fritzman himself certainly
lends di.versi.ty to the Philosophy
department, injecting humor
and intelligent debate into the
faculty and students , and there
seems to be no end in Sight. Af­
ter applying for over 800 jobs in
the years since graduate school,
Fritzman has decided, "LC is a
good place to be."

SutureSounds' Agent a work in need of progress
by Aaron Landau
For all the controyersy LCs
electronic music program has
raised in past years, it's impor­
tant not to ignore the talent its
students can produce. Albums
such as Laurel Brauns' Swimming
have shown the community that
the hours spent in the basement
of Evans are certainly not spent
in vein.
The most recent production
to draw from these hours of
mouse-tapping is Suture Sounds
Agent, largely written and pro­
duced by past LC student and
Portland Dj Roy Wada (trading
under the name "the Arkitek").
But as is too often the case with
Portland 's independent music,
Agent is a big, glossy package
that overlooks too many of the
details.
Taken as a whole, the album
represents styles ranging from
hip-hop to 303-driven synth
tunes, and meanders plenty
along the way. But one force
brings all of electronic music's
styles (and all of the silly techno­
geeks that compose them) to­
gether under one roof: beats.
And overwhelmingly, this is an
album about beats. So beats is where we begin.
Because Agent is presented as
more a pastiche than a focused
concept, the members of Suture
Sounds tread on shaky ground
that too often produces very or­
dinary music. Think of it as a
survey course: you'll be study­
ing a wide number of concepts,
but you'll rarely get past the
most general, introductor y
ideas. Likewise, each one of the
rhythms presented on Agent feels
like an introduction to its re­
spective genre.
The problem with doing this
is that it all-but-kills any poten­
tial for originality. And even
more so with the beats on Agent:
too many of them sound like
they're sampled directly. So not
only has it all been done before,
it's all been done well enough
already.
Building on established beats,
however, is nothing grim in it­
self. It certainly didn't kill Beck's
Odelay or Dj Shadow's
Endtroducing . However , there's
one thing both of these artists
understood that Suture Sounds
seems to struggle with: good
sampling. Whereas the better
sample-based music out there
will use old cuts to accentuate

O,le film to rule them all
by Erin Haick
The hobbits are coming. In
droves. Peter jackson's first of
three big screen adaptations of
jRR Tolkien's epic novel The Lord
oj the Rings is only a couple
weeks away from release, and
the excitement is building to a
fever pitch-it's like Christmas,
birthdays , and a vacation
wrapped up in one. The wait is
killing me.
Lord of the Rings has thus far
been one of the few classics of
the 20th century as yet un­
touched by a filmmaker. For
those unfamiliar with the re­
cently voted "Most Popular book
of the 20th Century" , the plot
concerns Frodo, a hobbit, and
the journey he takes from his
idylliC home in the Shire to the
dark land of Mordor, there to
hurl the One Ring of power into
the fires of Mount Doom whence
it was forged. A fairly simple
journey story on the surface, a
look at the trilogy-over 1,000
pages with three fully invented
languages and four ages worth
of history and mythology woven
into the t.ext-quickl y demon­
strates the trouble of transform­
ing the world of the mind into a
world of t.he screen.
New Zealander Peter jackson
is here to try. With a past ovure
which swings from Dead Alive to
Heavenly Creatures, jackson, a
declared Tolkien fan, has under­
taken to interpret , transform ,
and at times streamline a story
with has sold over 90 million
copies worldwide and inspired
over 400 websites. Needless to
say, the demands from the fans
dwarf the demands of the stu­
dios, and the fans seem split­

crew across New Zealand until
she was served with a trespass
notice, while regulars at TolkienOnline.com have a
16,000 signature petition which
pleads with jackson not to vio­
late the integrity of the text.
The filming of the trilogy it­
self sets records for filmmak­
ing-for the first time in cin­
ematic history, three linked films
have been filmed simulta­
neously. As we speak, 12 days

emotion, real terror, and a tac­

isn't buying a country for this
movie; he's bUilding an entire

It's a risky move also for New

sidiary of Time Warner/AOL: if
Fellowship bombs at the box of­
fice, the studio is stuck with two
more films shot in a similar style.
Thankfully, word on the street is
anything but: according to David

lates all of those great things that
just might be true about human
nature-not the petty and ter­
rible greivances that people do
to one another on a daily basis,
but a grand, sweeping essay
about courage, honor, loyalty,
and steadfast ness, all wrapped
up in a story of thrilling excite­
ment and heartbreaking , poi­

be, rather than the failings of
what we are. ============================= ~~ ==================~ ~~·o~n~e~e~r~L~O~~==
iLCornpositore takes the stage -urn, sort of
by Elizabeth Miller
For the best view of an opera
a person may ever have, a stu­
dent can attend one of the show­
ings of a twentieth century op­
era, put on by members of
iLCompositore. iLCompositore .
is a group consisting primarily
of students in the advanced com­
position class, led by music pro­
fessor Forrest Pierce. They en­
gage in various music activities
around campus: students com­
posing, performing, and, most
recently, coordinating the show­
ing of twentieth century operas
on film.
Senior Blair Edmiston has
taken a leadership position in
the showings; he reserved the
room and organized videos,
choosing some particularly
good, hard-to-find operas. Audi­
ences have consisted primarily
of music students, frequently
composition class members, but
other LC students are encour­
aged to attend. Operas included
in the series this fall are: Salome,
Pelleas and Melisand e, Wozzeck,
JemHa, and Three Penny Opera.
When you go, expect to find
a good seat, an attentive audi­
ence, a welcome arena for your
choice in refreshments , options
for discussing the opera, and all
the traditional trappings of an opera. Expect fantastic vocal tal­
ent, expressive music, and excel­
lent costumes and sets. Unless
you use your binoculars from
the second row, you'll never get "-----Exposing people to

a view like this at a live opera,
and you will definitely never get
such a deal on tickets: attending
a film is free. The final film for
fall semester is Three Penny
Opera, which will be shown
Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 9 pm in
Miller.
Three Penny Opera is more a
theatre piece than an opera, and
was included with that in mind.
The program should be continu­
ing next semester with 20Ih-cen­
tury operas like Nixon in China,
Eruoperas, and Peter Grimes,
and-provided there is enough
student interest-could run on into coming years. "There is re­
ally no reason to do it if it's just
going to be one or two of us,"
said Kevin Thomas, composition
student and member of the au­
dience for JenUfa. He admits that the· movies
aren't the same, but he says the
point is still clear: "It's a very
simple enterprise, it's a mission
to save the world."

one more way to expose students
on campus to art. Pierce said,
"Exposing people to beauty on
a daily basis is the dignity of our
lives, and any way in which we
can do that is to the betterment
of the college."
Why opera? Well, according
to Pierce, "Opera is the world's
greatest live entertainment, and
if you can't have a real, live ex­
perience, the next best thing is
to show films of these operas." proach, Edmiston , speaking of
the virtues and flaws of the se­
ries, said, "Yeah, sure, its not
live, but you don't have to dress
up to go, you don't have to ap­
plaud during the 5 minute en­
cores and you can bring and be
noisy with your refreshments .
Also, you can see some of the
best performances of the operas
this way. I don't think that I'll
ever see a group perform
Wozzeck as well as the Vienna State Opera."
For music students , opera is
appreciated for its blend of art
forms and its ability to be overly
dramatic , combined with ex­
travagant sets and costumes . "I
like the idea that a person can
sing a whole aria when they're
bleeding to death and people in
opera die for no reason, like of a
broken heart, and that doesn't
happen in movies anymore, "
said Thomas.
As for the other activities of
iLCompositore, there is a con­

said, "Blair Edmiston has plot­
ted out a really scholarly and
very well-thought-out series of
operas." There is a "happening ,"
an event combini ng theatre,
dance, art and music, that is also
being coordinated , but no date
has yet be set.
The audience of LC opera
fans may still be developing , but
these students' aspirations are
obviously full-grown . "Compos­
ers are really servants of the
community ," Pierce commented .
''They're individuals whose main
purpose in life is to bring new
beauty into the world."
HVampire Hunter": in comparison, original bites
by Erin Haick
Sometimes, but not often, the
sequel is the superior movie.
The odds are clearly stacked
against such an occurence­
when the original film is flawed,
how does a sequel both maintain
the audience 's interest in a film
that wasn't so good, and con­
tinue to build on a pre-estab­
lished story line? Vampire Hunter
D: Bloodlust accomplishes this
feat, working within, but apart
from the constraints of the origi­
nal while creating an engaging
plot with multi-faceted charac­
ters.
In the world of Vampire
Hunter D, vampires rule the
night, and have legions of
shapeshif ting bad guys to back
them up. Fortunately for hu­
mans, there are vampire hunters
for hire, ready to rid the town of
such a menace, for a price. D is
a dhampir, a half-hum an, half­
vampire who is espeCially good
at his job. In Bloodlust, farther
in the future than the original,
vampires are dwindling through
the constant predations of
bounty hunters.
When a lovely young lass
named Charlotte Elbourne gets
kidnapped by the notorious vampire Meier Link, her father
and brother hire the best to get
her back. D hits the trail in
search of his nemesis. Swathed
in a huge-brimmed black hat
and black cloak, D ably plays the
strong and silent type, but a sar­
castic symbiot living in the palm
of his hand speaks plenty.
("What's the sound of one hand
yapping? " it moans in one
scene.)
Meanwhile, a band of human
hunters called the Markus
Brothers -including a bristly,
tough woman Leila -hit the
same trail, hoping that D doesn't
get in their way. It turns out that
Charlotte has actually fallen in
love with Link, and the two are
escaping her family for life to­
gether in The City of Eternal
Night. Link also picks up a trio
of protectors, the shapeshifting
Barbarois, and much of the film's
narrative is following the flight
of Link and Charlotte, while the
Barbarois duke it out with D and
the Markus band.
The original D, while enter­
taining, was strangled by the fact
that D was to rescue another girl
who had been captured by a
vampire . The problem , plot­
wise, was that D knew where the girl was being held, so the
movie consisted of his re­
peated attacks on the
vampire's castle. Bloodlust
improves greatly by mak­
ing D look for the vampire
in the first place, and fur­
ther improves by adding
another set of hunters into
the equation, so the two
bands playoff one another
and the bad guys. Cruel as
it might sound, having six
hunters rather than one
means that several of the
"good" guys can die for
dramatic tension (anime,
which is about as subtle as
a blowtorch , responds well
to this type of plot devel­
opment). When the
combtants finally reach
the castle, haunted by the
spirit of the ancient
vampiress Carmilla, the
tension is sufficiently high,
and the action suffiCiently
different, thall a real climax
is achieved.

by the ghost of a mad
Countess. The human part
of the tale shines through
when all of these pale next

Bloodlust far more than the
Original, and there are even
breaks from the action to

that a person might go into
the business of vampire
hunting. Dark humor oc­

Charlotte throws her arms
