ASLC Update
by Shannon Chaney
Welcome back to school ev
eryone! Aren't we all just ever
so happy to be back? No com
ment here. Council got quite a
bit done before we all parted for
Turkey day. Satya finished her
proposal for a current events
forum and talked with some
local masseuses to get cheap
rates for massages during finals
in the library. Hannah is work
ing on LC OlympiCS and getting
the gym hours extended. The
Transportation and Parking
Committee meeting was post
poned, so the new parking ap
peal process has not been pre
sented yet. ISLC has all the
countries represented for the
International Fair, but has yet
to choose a logo and theme be-cause they could not decide.
Cody worked with Jon Eldridge
on getting a proposal for extend
ing the move in and move out
times at the beginning and end
of the school years for upper
classmen . Council is trying to get
an online trading post set up for
buying and selling books and al
lowing students more freedom
when it comes to buying class
books. RAG asked council for
ASLC's support in bringing
Laughing Horse books on cam
pus for the first three days of class
of next semester, council ap
proved. The newly created Stu
dent Art Council had their first
meeting last week and are going
to look into getting more say for
the students on the display in the
Gallery of Contemporary Art. Lastly, Dusty and Julian are pre
paring for a.n election regarding
making the school climate neu
tral. Students will have the
choice to a.) raise student fees
by $30 to have LC become cli
mate neutral, b.) raising student
fees $5 to meet Kyoto Protocol,
or c.) not raise fees. This vote
will occur at the end of the first
week of the spring semester. In
the mean time opportunities will
be provided to allow the student
body to educate themselves on
climate neutrality .
So there you have it, council
is getting stuff done even with
out student input. Imagine what
we could do if we actually heard
from you! Feel free to stop by
any Tuesday, 5:15 p.m., Dubach
Student Lounge. Campus coffee shop
finds new grounds
Mr. Bean's Coffee Shop
has moved from BoDine to
the first floor of the library
to make room for
communications and
sociology /anthropology
offices.
by Jovanna Schussel
Anyone who tried, in vain, to
visit Mr. Bean's Expresso in
BoDine upon returning to cam
pus met with a disappointment.
The popular coffee shop, where
students can go for coffee,
snacks, or just to hang out, has
been moved from its original 10-
cation.
This has been done to make
room for temporary offices for
members of the communications
and SOciology/anthropology de
partments while their offices in
the Albany building are being
renovated. This project has been
in the planning process for some
time, and now the renovations
in Albany and the temporary
changes to BoDine have begun.
Mr. Bean's was moved to the
staff lounge on the lower level
ofWatzek Library. This is a tem
porary location for the business,
which will probably remain
there for about 18 months while the renovations are underway.
"We want people to know
that we are here and let students
know that they have a place to
go," said Kristy Glennon , super
visor of Mr. Bean's.
Mr. Bean's reopened on Mon
day, November 19, but since this
was right before Thanksgiving
break, many students are not yet
aware of its change in location.
The shop is currently gearing "-----We want people to
know that we are
here and let students
know that they have
a place to go
Kristy Glennon -----"
up for Christmas with new items
on the menu, such as eggnog
lattes and hot apple cider. No
other menu changes have oc
curred otherwise . The staff
lounge is actually convenient for
the staff of Mr. Bean's, because it
is equipped with a sink and a
dishwasher .
"It's great for students to have
a place to sit down and hang
out," said Glennon .

~he Pioneer Log is funded by your
~tudent fees. Student-led NGO addresses challenges
by Andrew Zahler
For two months last summer,
senior Katie Phares got to see a
side of life previousl y unimag
inable to her. As a volunteer
with World Camp for Kids,
Phares traveled with nine
American coworkers in South
ern Africa, providing two-day
educational camps for children,
many of them orphaned by the
AIDS virus.
World Camp for Kids began
in the summer of 2000 during a
week-long service project orga
nized by LC alumna Brenna
Dorrance (2001) and Laura Ivey,
a student at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill
(UNC-CH). Dorrance and Ivey
met during their studies with
the School for International
Training (SIT) in South Africa
and opted to collaborate on a
HIV/AIDS educational camp for
children. The two students re
turned to the U.S. to organize
and solicit funds for a more am
bitious project for the follOwing
summer.
With help from Phares and
UNC-CH student Baker
Henson, Dorrance and Ivey suc
cessfully incorporated World
Camp for Kids as a non-govern
mental organization (NGO).
The group recruited six other
volunteers to perform what
Dorrance calls "grassroots activ
ism at its core." They secured.
funding from friends and fam
ily, as well as through a lelter
writing campaign . Additional
assistance came from NGOs, lo
cal organizations in Africa, and
the General Allocations Board of
ASLC, which granted the pro
gram $1000.
The ten volunteers spent
their first week in Africa travel
ing and transporting materials to
Durban, South Africa, the site of
the first camp. From there, they
traveled north into Botswana
and Zambia, then east to
Malawi.
Dorrance, Phares and the
others set out with the desire to
make a positive impact in the lives of disadvantaged child.en
in Southern Africa. Their mis
sion statement emphaSizes com
munity pride, education about
local issues, and giving children
"aspirations for the future." In
many cases, the children they
worked with had lost their par
ents to AIDS.
Statistics in the CIA World
Fact Book for 1999 provide
merely a glimpse at the crippling
effect of HIV/AIDS on African
nations. In South Africa, an es
timated 4.2 million South Afri
cans live with HIV/AIDS in a
population of 43 million. In
Botswana , 290,000 out of 1.5
million people live with HIV/
AIDS. In Zambia, it is 870,000
out of 9.7 million, and in
Malawi, 800,000 out of 10.5 mil
lion.
In Durlban and other stops,
Phares, Dorrance and the other
volunteers witnessed a more hu
man side of the toll.
"[It was difficult] faCing the
hundreds of children everyday
who were AIDS orphans and had
no choice: but to live in the
school houses together," Phares
says. "I had no concept of what
life was like for them, and fac
ing that pain day in and day out
while accomplishing everything
the company [World Camp for
Kids] needed me to was an ex
treme challenge ."
The camps' curriculum con
sisted of a variety of interactive
workshops, which covered HIV/
AIDS, the environment, health
and hygiene, and art. Many of
the workshops used games to
make the children active partici
pants in the learning.
Despite relatively smooth op
erations (only two workers be
came ill), a few challenges arose.
In Durban, one boy threatened
the voluntleers and other chil
dren. Furthermore, the supplies
that the volunteers had brought
to distribute, including
toothbrushes, were at times
more attractive than lesson
plans. "We were really naive to
think they [the children] all
wanted to learn," Phares recalls. PHOTO COURTESY KATIE PHARES
LC senior Katie Phares and a girl from the Chipalas school
in Malawi participate in a water-conservation obstacle
course at the end of a day camp.
"Mostly they just wanted the
stuff. "
Planning is underwa y to con
tinue World Camp next year,
with 10 LC students and 20
UNC-CH students Signed up to
participate . The summer 2002
program will expand its geo
graphic reach to include Latin
America at the same time it nar
rows its focus to camps in
Malawi and Honduras .
Phares values her experience
with World Camp for Kids for
providing an opportunity for
personal growth, and a change
of perspective .
"Being a math major, I have
been accused several times of
seeing the world in an altered
point of view, that is, I see a prob-lem and I simply try to find the
solution," she says. "I think that
math has contributed to that, but
I think watching World Camp
for Kids grow into what it is has
given me reason beyond a doubt
to believe that we can al\ do out
part against the huge issues fac
ing our world today."
But Phares also emphaSize s
that World Camp for Kids was
far less an individual than a team
experience, and retains tremen
dous respect for the company.
"It's an amazing thing to see
something start with just three
sentences of a mission statement
and become what it has today,"
Phares says. "I believe whole
heartedly in its potential to be
an incredibly effective NGO."
Til rallies LC tennis with humor, expertise, accent
by Casia Freitas
Considered one of the top
tennis clinicians in the world,
Gundars Tilmanis ("Til" for
short) has been coaching the
men and women's varsity tennis
teams at Lewis &: Clark College
for the past ten years. Til has
coached players of ranging abil
ity levels all over the world for
the last 37 years, including many
nationally ranked players. At LC,
he teaches the intermediate/ad
vanced tennis classes.
Til describes his philosoph y
for his varsity players by saying,
"I don't get hung up on the
[player's] win-loss record; I get
hung up on their effort, playing
smart, and hustling." ' .
"He truly enjoys what he does
ou t there on the court every day,"
senior Cayley Bell says of Til.
"Whether it's a tennis class, or a
team practice, I always look for
ward to Til's good humor, his fun
drills, and his enthusiasm for the
sport." The internationally recognized
Gundars "Til" Tilmanis has
coached LC tennis for ten years.
Til suggests that competing
with "controlled aggressiveness "
is important to success in any
sport. "Control, by itself, is usu
ally 'not doing enough.' Aggres
siveness, by itself, is often 'over
kill.' Extremes are rarely right,"
Til says.
Til's part-time position at the
College allows him to travel all over the world to speak as a cli
nician for both the United States
Tennis Association (USTA) and
the International Tennis Federa
tion (lTF). Til has written three
books on tennis, one of which
is used as a textbook by the lTE
Til also represents Head/Penn
sporting equipment.
"In one month I'll make a trip
somewhere around the world to
speak, I'll coach my Lewis &:
Clark teams, my 36 junior play
ers and my ladies group in Lake
Oswego. The variety keeps me
going," Til says.
Til's innovative , energetic
style of coaching has drawn
praise throughout the tennis
world. To spice up the learning
process, Til pulls out racquets
with oversized heads, long
necks, double heads or handles,
walking sticks, etc. "I try to work
them naturally into presenta
tions," he says. "If you have to
force it, it doesn't work. Those
racquets have been all over the
world with me." Born in Riga, Latvia and
raised in Melbourne , Australia ,
Til grew up hearing the sounds
of bouncing tennis balls day and
night from the tennis club next
door. Intrigued , Til was soon
walking 1.5 miles and taking a
train every Saturday for tennis
lessons.
"I loved to play tennis, even
though I wasn't very good at it. I
liked the feel of it," Til says.
After graduating from the
University of Melbourn e, Til
came to the United States in
1966. He received a Master's De
gree in PhYSical Education from
the University of Oregon, where
he walked onto the varsity team
and was their top ranked player
for two years.
Til has a heart for tennis and
the community . In the early
1980s, Til worked closely with
Arthur Ashe and Larry Tabak to
establish the pilot program for
instruction of tennis into inner
city schools, the first school be
ing in Portland .

Recognizing the masculine mystique
by Clifton Fels
For years now, a question that
has plagued feminists is the na
ture of male resistance to female
change. Why are so many men
disturbed by the prospect of
women's independence?
For years, many men have
resented it, feared it, and fought
it, and not always conSCiously.
However, when you consider
what men have lost over the last
sixty years-a useful role in pub
lic life, a way of earning a de
cent and reliable living, appre
ciation in the home, respectful
treatment in culture-the more
it seems that men of the late
twentieth century, and early
twenty-first, are falling into a
status oddly similar to that of
women in mid-century .
The fifties housewife,
stripped of her connections to a
wider world and invited to fill
that void with shopping and the
ornamental display of her
ultrafemininity, could be said to
have morphed into the nineties
man, stripped of his connections
to a wider world and invited to
fill the void with consumption
and a gym-bred display of his
ultramasculinity. The empty
compensations of a "feminine
mystique " are transforming into
the empty compensations of a
masculine mystique , with a ci
gar club no more satisfying than
a ladies' bake-off, the Nike Air
Jordan no more meaningful than
a bottle of Chanel NO.5. The real question , 1 think, is
that instead of wondering why
men resist women's struggles for
change for a freer and healthier
life, why don't men engage in
their own struggle? Why haven't
men responded to the series of
betrayals in their own lives with
something the coequal of femi
nism? When the enemy their fa
thers sent them to crush turned
out to be women and children
cowering in huts, when the cor
porations their fathers promised
would buoy them downsized
them, when the women they
were told wanted their support
instead got jobs, when every
thing they were taught about
masculinity turned out to be a
crock, why did these sons do
nothing?
Women responded to the
"problem with no name" (as
Betty Friedan called it) by nam
ing it and founding a political
movement, by beginning a pro
cess of freeing themselves . Why
haven't men done the same? The
real mystery behind the so
called "masculinity crisis" (as
it's been called in the news for
b . hnny k.
If George wins.
I'm moving to Canadal the last decade) isn't that men are
fighting against women's libera
tion, but that they have refused
to mobilize for their own-or .
their society's-liberation .
Many women complain that
men just don't want to give up
the "reins of power." But really,
that doesn't apply to most men
who individually don't feel the
reins of power in their hands, but
its bit in their mouths. More
likely, many men are simply
clinging to a phantom status of
control and cultural importance .
To understand why men are
reluctant to break with codes of
manhood, we should understand
how strong the social constraints
on men are. It's not just women
who are bombarded with cultural
messages about appropriate gen
der behavior . In the past half
century, Madison Avenue, Holly
wood, and the mass media have
operated re:lentlessly on men,
too. The levd of mockery, suspi
cion, and animosity directed at
men who step out of line is pro
found, and men respond pro
foundly-with silence and pas-
sivity.
If Oubya gloes to war,
I'm movin!} to Canada! .. If men don't respond, per
haps it's because society has
proposed no route for them to
venture down. There have been
pseudo-alternative visions of
masculinity , none of them re
ally satisfactory. The so-called
men's movement , clinging to
its caveman cliches, was a bust.
The Promise Keepers were just
living fantasies of past fanta
sies, and the gay culture, as it
gets more and more absorbed
into the larger corporate struc
ture, really has no voice in
challenging masculine roles.
But wait. Didn't the women's
movement make its own way,
without any assistance-with
a lot of resistance, actually
from the dominant culture? So
why can't men act? Are they
that paralyzed, that confused,
that resentful, that ignorant ,
that stupid, that prideful, that
domineering, that hopeless? I
suspect not, but who knows at
this point what it will take.
What do you say, should there
be a Myn's Center in the
works?
Who knew Canada

Falun Gong: persecuted far and wide
by Sarah Cook
In 1992, Mr. Li Hongzhi in
troduced the public to Falun
Gong, a peaceful mind, body,
and spirit practice based on the
principles of Truthfulness , Com
passion, and Tolerance. Since its
introduction , it has benefited
tens of millions of people in 40
countries. Unfortunately , 7 years
later, in July of 1999, the Chi
nese government launched a vi
cious campaign to eradicate
Falun Gong. Over the past two
and a half years, tens of thou
sands of ordinary citizens who
practice Falun Gong have been
arrested, tortured, and jailed
without trial, and at least 319
have died.
But that's happening in
China, on the other side of the
world, so there's no reason to
care, right? Wrong. It's spread
ing here too.
On September 7, three men
attacked a group of practitioners
in Chicago who were in the
middle of a hunger strike to pro
test the persecution . At least a dozen mayors from cities in
California, Illinois, Washington,
Maryland and Michigan have
reported pressure from Chinese
officials to rescind proclama
tions honoring Falun Gong, of
ten while mentioning the im
portance of U.S.-Chinese trade.
"The whole thing sounded like
a propaganda pitch to me," said
Tod Satterthwaite , mayor ofUr
bana, Illinois, who ignored the
Chinese demands . Unfortu
nately, others have yielded. In
1999, mayors in Seattle, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Bal
timore -all important shipping
centers -revoked proclamations
honoring Falun Gong.
But you do not even have to
look as far as Seattle. Let me tell
you a story. Once, there was a
girl who received a phone call
from her boyfriend one Monday
evening. He was calling to tell
her that he was in jail in Beijing.
She immediately called his par
ents and a friend, who contacted
the media and called people
who might be able to help in ob
taining his release. She didn't get much sleep that night, but then
again neither did he, since he was
being interrogated, slapped, and
kicked by the police in Beijing.
For the next 36 hours she took
her cell phone with her every
where, just in case he called to
say he was all right. Finally, on
Wednesday afternoon the call
came from his mom saying that
she had heard from him and he
was safe.
This girl doesn't live in China
- I live in Portland , and I am a
student at Lewis &. Clark. My
boyfriend isn't Chinese - he is an
American-Israeli citizen. V'v'e are
both Falun Gong practitioners
and the persecution in China is
very real to us. If we were Chi
nese citizens, he would have
been sentenced to three years in
a labor camp'or taken to a men
tal insti tu t:ion to be "re-edu
cated", and I may never have heard from him again.
This isn't about politics.
This isn't about foreign policy.
This isn't about trade agree
ments. This is about freedom.
This is about doing what's
right. This is about putting an
end to brutality, violence, and
corruption, and replaCing them
with truthfulness , compassion,
and tolerance .
What's the first thing you
can do? Educate yourself.
Come to Council Ch.ambers on
Monday Dec 3 at 7pm and learn
more about the practice and the
persecution . They're counting
on your ignorance to allow
them to continue this horrid
treatment of peace-seeki ng in
dividuals. I hope you will feel
afterwards that this directly
concerns you and you will want
to find out about simple ways
to help. What is
it. about

Alums find new work at LC
by Sierra Jenkins
Though the vast majority of
LC graduates go to work else
where following graduation ,
alumni also return to campus as
staff, a few who "return" right
after graduation . Greg Walters,
Director of Human Resources ,
roughly estimates that 5-6%--or
35 out of 600 lewis &: Clark
employees--are alumni. Of these,
he believes that most go away
after graduation and find their
way back fairly early in
their careers.
Lewis &:
Clark does
not ac
tively
r e -
cruit
gradu
ates, he
says, but
the Informa-
tion Technology
and Admissions
departments do hire
former students at high
rates.
For most recent graduates
who return to campus, the cir
cumstances just worked out.
Dayna Kirk, who works in
CSAW, graduated in May, and is
employed as a temp worker. As
a student, she had worked as a
student organizer for health-re
lated services her senior year.
When the position was vacated,
Kirk was offered the job, a con
venient situation for the interim
period while she applies to medi
cal school.
Special circumstances also
applied to the case of Noah
Kersey, who was recently hired
as an Administrative Coordina
tor for College Outdoors . Noah knew that he was going to be in
Portland for a while, but didn't
have any plans to look for work
on campus. The woman for
merly holding his position was
offered another job and had to
leave suddenly , so Noah applied
for the job, along with approxi
mately fifty other applicants. Joe
Yuska, director of College Out
doors, says that Noah's familiar
ity with CO's programs and com
puters was an advantage . "We
look for the
best person
out there.
Noah was
certainly
qualified
for the
po s i
t ion
and
h e
aro
could step n
on short notice
and hit the g r 0 u n d
run n i n g , " Yuska said.
"There are advantages to
both [hiring alumni and hiring
from elsewhere] . With one, you
get new blood, new ideas, and
with the other, you get the fa
miliarity with all the depart
ments, and a knowledg e of how
to get things done," Yuska said,
echOing the sentiment of many
staff in hiring positions on cam
pus. Being an alumnus and knowing people helps, but hav
ing the qualifications for the
position is certainly first and
foremost.
As for the Information Tech
nology department, where cur
rently 7 out of 22 staff members
are alumni, most people leave
and come back later, or pOSSibly
transfer from other departments
on campus, though a few are
hired immediately after gradua
tion.
Kelly Wainwright, alumnus
and director of client services,
says that lewis &: Clark's atmo
sphere, with its emphaSiS on
learning, is what drew her back.
"The goal isn't to make such and
such money on a given day. It's
to help a class or a person,"
Wainwright said.
Another reason people might
return, she said, is that currently,
there is a lot of fluctuation in the
technology industry and LC of
fers some stability. It is a transi
tion between being a student and
being a profeSSional here, she
adds. "It's different. At first, I had
to work extra hard because I was
working with faculty and I had
to change the way they saw me
in their mind's eye from being a
student to being a profeSSional,"
Wainwrig ht said.
Overall, every circumstance is
different. lewis &: Clark alumni
come to work here on campus
for many of the same reasons
they might choose to work any
where: a good atmosphere , an
enjoyable position, a nice loca
tion, good pay. Being an alum
nus undeniably helps in at least
getting an interview here, but
the person ultimatel y has to
prove how much they learned in

More-hours and bigger pa),checks
lure students to off campus jobs
by Joe Clock
"I like to be independent of
school institutions ," said sopho
more Sara Taylor, explaining
why she works off campus. Tay
lor, like a number of other stu
dents, is drawn to work off cam
pus by the higher wages avail
able, the freedom to work more
hours, and the opportunity to
spend some time away from lC
during the week.
Taylor works at the Petit So
phisticate in the Lloyd Center
mall selling business clothes to
small women. Taylor began
working at the Pelit Sophisticate
last May, and worked there
throughout the summer. When
school began she chose to con
tinue working there, finding it
more appealing than the jobs
available on campus. Senior Melissa AlmqUist
works off campus for similar rea
sons. She has worked as a server
at The Keg, a restaurant and bar
specializing in steaks and chops,
since the beginning of last June.
Almquist enjoys waitressing,
finding the job challenging both
phYSically and mentally .
AlmqUist also earns more work
ing at The Keg than she would
on campus, saying, "I could
make a living working at The
Keg, a good one."
Another important advantage
to working off campus for
Almquist is the opportunity to
spend time away from campus.
She said, "I really enjoy work
ing off campus because it gives
me a new perspective on life--it
takes me off the intellectual
cloud."
Working off campus, for both
4 Pioneer Log November 30, 2001 Taylor and Almquist , has its dis
advantag es. Both find them
selves strained at times by the
time commitm ent their jobs re
quire. Both work on weekends,
sacrifiCing their free time to
work. "I don't get to chill with
my gente [people] on week
ends." Taylor said, expressing
her frustration about lOSing time
with her friends to her job.
Almquist complains that af
ter working Fridays and Satur
days, weekends do not leave her
feeling rejuvenated. Taylor also
finds herself trying to fit home
work into her schedule around
work, class, and teaching for her
Educatio n in Modern Society
class.
Both Almquist and Taylor
have cars, and neither find trans
portation to and from their jobs
to be serious concerns . CSAW offers job help with
connections and workshops
by Colleen Welch
I was frantically writing an
essay in the library when lover
heard a few seniors discussing a
classmat e who had already
found a job. These seniors were
amazed that this person was so
ahead of the game. As a procras
tinator extraordinair e, I can cer
tainly understand putting off an
essay or an assignment, but wait
ing until the last minute to find
your path after college seems
about as dangerous as waiting
until June of your senior year to
apply for college. The career de
velopment program, as part of
the Center for Service and Work,
is offered by lewis &: Clark Col
lege as a bridge between college
and so-called "life."
This is the first year that the
career development program at
lewis &: Clark College has been
included in CSAW; previously, it
was part of the Career and Hu
man Resource Developmen t pro
gram. The move has prompted
CSAW to improve and remodel
the program. Director of CSAW
Shan nan Fasold says that goals
for the program include bring
ing more undergraduates, espe
cially small groups, into the ca
reer development office. The re
organization of the program has
also involved an assessment of
how lewis &: Clark's career de
velopment offerings compare to
those of other schools. Fasold
says that the offerings of LC's
career development program are
on par with many other colleges
of the same size and type, al
though it is difficult to know
how many seniors in a given
class use the career development
office, as no statistics have ever
been gathered. She also adds that
the resources are primarily used
by current students and recent
alumni. Rarely do those chang
ing jobs mid-life use the pro-gram, as they already have a
broad network of contacts
within their field.
Fasold suggests that under
graduate students become in
volved with CSAW as early as
possible. For those who are not
sure which desk they want to be
sitting behind in ten years,
CSAW offers tests to determin e
a student's preferences and tal
ents. Students can also be put in
contact with alumni in their area
of interest, both for networking
and information purposes.
Alumni site visits offer the op
portunity of experiencing first
hand potential workplace envi
ronments. Recently, students
journeyed to the office of a mar
riage and family therapist as part
of this program. Workshops are
also put on periodically to help
students write profession al re
sumes and cover letters or shine
at a job interview. Informal
"Brown Bag Sessions" allow stu
dents to chat with visiting
alumni, discuss certain careers,
or receive information about
graduate schools. Finally, the
CSAW web page includes exten
sive links to possible internships
and full time jobs.
Fasold admits that the effec
tiveness of the program is depen
dent on the motivation of stu
dents to wander into the CSAW
office and sign up for an inter
view, brown bag session, or
workshop . In the future, the ca
reer development office, with
CSAW, may stuff incoming and
returning student packets with
information . Fasold says that
the career development team in
CSAW is "making lots of head
way as far as students becoming
aware of who we are." The pro
gram could also be improved
with a thorough examination of
how many students actually use
the resources, and how effective
they find the programs. Advertisement Pioneer Log

Incubus live: fun, but hardly worth the ticket
by Aaron Landau
Incubus belongs to Mike
Einziger. One of five in the band,
Einziger brings some of the more
inventive guitar work heard on
modern rock radio. There is tal
ent elsewhere in the band, but
it's his arsenal of twisted chops
that keeps Incubus from being
indistinguishable from an al
ready homogenous genre.
Accordingly, their Nov. 15
show at the Salem Armory be
gan with a Single spotlight.
Einziger stood alone at far-left
stage, sporting a phenomenally
large blonde afro and casually
pushing out the first chords of
Incubus ' opening set. The
crowd, of course, went nuts;
even the high-school boys try
ing to impress their girlfriends
seemed giddy. Before long, the
rest of what is now one of mod
ern rock's most popular' bands
joined Einziger and tore into
"Privilege" from their recent CD
Make Yourself.
It was a dramatic but almost
tiredly familiar opening to what would turn out to be more of the
same: hit after hit of funk-in
fused radio-rock , played exactly
the way the audience had heard
a hundred times before.
"Pardon Me," the band's first
attack on the Billboard charts,
was an early climax to the show.
It's a decent song; even those
who seemed to be there just to
see opening act Onesidezero
were bobbin' their heads. But the
song was performed exactly as
it was recorded, note for note,
scratch for scratch.
Eventually, the lights came
down, the drummer , bassist, and
DJ each took their places back
stage, and two bars tools were set
front-and-center. Lead singer
and percussionist Brandon Boyd
joined an acoustic-clad Einziger
for a brief unplugged set, cover
ing both "Mexico" and their re
cent hit "Drive." I paid particu
lar attention to the second song;
there's a slight choke in the vo
cal on the recorded version, and
I was curious whether Boyd
would pull the song off cleanly
before a live audience . Instead, From left: Einziger, DJ Lyfe, Boyd, Pasillas, and Katunich put on a less-than stellar show.
as if practicred, the slip found its
way into exactly the same note.
If this was less-than-inspiring
music, it was stunning in its ac
curacy.
Drumm,er Joe Pasillas,
basssist Alex Katunich , and DJ
Lyfe (Gavin Koppel) again joined Boyd and Einziger for the
latter half of "Drive." As the
band continued with the remain
der of Incubus' set, Boyd slowly
took off his shirt and half the
audience went nuts. It was as if
it were all Boyd could do to keep
the show interesting . Unfortu-nately, I hadn't come for Boyd's
chest, and the music wasn't
enough to keep me at the Ar
mory past the show's halfway
mark.
Until Incubus plays a show as
interesting as their songs are
catchy, stick to the CDs.
Quirky Moon Theory a diamond in the rough
by Erin Haick
Moon Theory's self-titled CD
found its way into the Piolog
office along with a half dozen
others. While some of these
disks will never see the light of
day (and for good reason), Moon
Theory came as a great surprise:
an independent, intelligent band
with clear influences, but with a
sound all their own.
Vocalist Kaeti O'Ghara and
producer TSO make up the San
Francisco-based rock band.
Lulling the listener with smooth,
intricate beats and O'Ghara's
flighty vocals, the songs never
theless come around to punch the listener with a hard, tight
chorus, never forgetting that
they are a rock band first and
foremost.
Opening with the guitar
driven "Insomnia" , Moon
Theory quickly establish their
sound: a complex blend of
triphop beiltS and rock arrange
ment, all under the bewitching
voice of vocalist O'Ghara .
O'Ghara's voice combines ele
ments of Portishead , Bjork, and
No Doubt's Gwen Stefani, fre
quently filtered through vocal
distorters. However , O'Ghara's
voice is so flexible that actual
machines are not often needed

6 Pioneer log November 30, 2001 to achieve the warped sound
emanating from the speakers.
Songs like "Shapeshifter" and
"Primevil" establish Moon
Theory's spiritual bent-a kind
of new age: mysticism mixed
with cyber-age sensibilities .
Other tracks, like "Thirst No
More" and the particularly ex
cellent "Feed your Master",
which neatly equates capitalism
and consumerism with a raven
ing, multi-headed monster, dem
onstrate the politicalleanillgs of
the band.
The ill-placed and jarring
"Blasphemy' '' is the album's most
obvious problem. Starting as a fierce, guitar driven rant, the
music is interrupted as "agents
of the FCC' invade the studio
where Moon Theory is record
ing, and struggle ensues while
the band is dragged off on
trumped up charges. While the
song does have a disturbing ele
ment, and should be applauded
as a statement against growing
problems of the music censor
ship, in the context of the album,
it knocks the listener completely
out of the flow of music that has
thus far been created. Such ex
periments are better left to hid
den tracks, or an ending that can
be programm ed out. The album might also benefit
from one more strictly-rock
number. After "Blasphemy," the
sound slows into down tempo
trip hop territory, and while the
songs are still good, the indi
viduality that shows through so
well in the earlier tracks is miss
ing until "Shapeshifter " re
sumes, three songs later.
The closing track "Savior"
moves away from the political or
spiritual fare of earlier songs as
a simple love song. The lyrical
material is not overly ambitious ,
but the instrumental sensuality
is still there, and Moon Theory
finish with a flourish.
LC JazZ: small size, big talent
by Joe Clock
I went to Evans Auditorium
on Friday evening, Nov. 15, ex
pecting to hear big band jazz.
The band that took the stage,
however, was not very big. Al
though the Lewis &: Clark Jazz
Ensemble is smaller than it was
in the past, it is made up of a
group of talented musicians that
both improvise well and play
well together.
The band suffered its great
est losses in the brass section,
and was left with only two trum
pets and one trombone . In re
sponse Friday's program in
cluded many song arrangements
featuring the saxophone section.
Even with the small brass sec
tion, however, the band was still
able to achieve an even balance
between saxophones and brass.
The band covered a wide va
riety of musical styles in the ten
songs that comprised the con
cert on Friday night, and played
some obviously difficult songs
very well. They stayed together
through the fast, syncopated
rhythms of some songs, and
slowed to the softer ballad style
of others.
Director David Becker said that the Jazz Ensemble had been
fOCUSing on improvisation this
semester, and throughout the
concert nearly every member of
the band was featured.
The band's theme of impro:
visation culminated with their
final number, "Mercy, Mercy,
Mercy" a song that the band ob
viously knew well, and that fea
tured a solo from nearly every
member, including an impro
vised dialogue between Eric
Miller's trumpet and Leslie
Kernochan 's saxophone .
Kernoch an and Miller were
two of the more impressive so
loists in the concert overall.
Miller's trumpet solos were var
ied and creative, and did not lose
themselves in complexit y.
Kernochan is an extremely tal
ented saxophone player, and
each of her solos sounded
smooth and natural.
The rhythm section has the
most members in the Jazz En
semble, and throughout the con
cert they matched the talent of
the rest of the band. Drummer
Jesse Brooke took a few solos,
playing creative solos that
started subtly. As his solos be
gan I wouldn't really notice that the band had dropped out and I
didn't miss them. The solos
would build and filled their
space well.
There were also some im
pressive bass and guitar solos
Friday night. Bass player James
Zdrowski played some interest
ing solos, and guitarist Dan Wil
son showed off his talent a few
times.
Pianist Galen Clark also
played a few solos, demonstrat
ing his musical skill and famil
iarity with jazz and the piano.
Several other members of the
band had a chance to show off
their talent, and none were dis
appointing.
The only problem the Jazz
Ensemble showed came out of
the strength of their rhythm sec
tion. At times, the rhythm sec
tion took attention from the
saxophones or brass as they
played the melodies and it
would have been better if they
had been a little quieter.
Although theJazz Ensemble
is not exactly a big band, it fea
tures several talented musicians,
and can put on a fun, informal
concert containing some high
quality music. Where's the money, LC?
by Liz Hummer
In an ideal world money
wouldn't matter. But as they say,
money makes the world go
round, and varsity sports at
Lewis & Clark College are no
different. Sports teams need suf
ficient funding to maintain qual
ity programs and offer a fulfill
ing athletic experience to the
students who watch and partici
pate on the eighteen varsity
teams.
Considering the variety of the
sports offered at LC funding is
distrubuted across teams with
distinctly different needs.
Contrary to what some may
think, money is not dolled out
to the successful teams, leaving
the smaller and less prestigious
squads with the spare change.
PhYSical Education & Athletics
Director Steve Wallo explained ,
"There's a lot of formality to the
process we've developed over a
long time to determine what's
fair, and it's a very complex pro
cedure."
The first aspect that must be
considered is a team's opera
tional budget.
This budget includes uni-forms, equipment, and other ev
eryday needs to keep the pro
gram running. Obviously, the fi
nancial requirements of a large
football squad with lots of equip
ment will exceed those of a ten
nis team.
Although the amounts may
differ, however, the athletic de
partment works hard to make
sure that all of these needs are
met equally. This equal treat
ment is integral, Wallo believes,
for a strong NCAA Division III
athletics program.
Every couple of years, each
varsity coach goes through a full
zero-base budgeting process.
Each coach presents his or her
basic financial needs for the year
to establish a base operating
budget.
This is the time when Wallo
and Associate Director, Judy
McMullen , reevaluate what it is
that each coach sees as being the
base funding level for his or her
sport, and then try to make de
cisions as to what funding seems
fair.
One coach may request the
very best equipment and uni
forms, while another may be
very cost-conscious. Differences such as these must be balanced
in order to develop a fair base
budget for each sport.
To help determine what
amount of funding is fair for
each team, 'Wallo also evaluates
the funding of other Northwest
Conference (NWC) schools.
There are no NCAA or con
ference rules or standards for
funding, leaving room for finan
cial disparities between com
petitors.
"It is important that LC fund
its sports at a similar level as
other colleges in order to stay
competitivle," explained Wallo,
"although this is not the decid
ing factor in the base budget
ing process."
In addition to the base oper
ating budget for each team, it is
determined what purchases can
be spread out over several years
in order to prevent any large
spending spike in a given year.
Coaches give a four-year pro
posal for this cyclical budget.
The football team may buy
new jerseys one year and new
pants the next, for example,
while the track program may
invest in new rain gear one year
and new uniforms the next.
"We try to maintain those cycles
as much as we can to make sure
that we're taking care of each
sport as equitably as we can,"
Wallo said.
As complex as the opera
tional budgeting process is, it is
only a fraction of a team's total
expenses . Travel costs take up
most of ea·ch sport's funding.
To determine travel budgets,
it is again helpful to look at how
competing schools are funding
their sports' travel. "It is impor
tant for LC to fund travel at a
relatively equal level as other
schools so as not to be at a re
cruiting disadvantage ," Wallo
said.
Working to attract potential
athletes does not outweigh con
cern for current athletes, how-Upcoming Pioneer Sports

ever. The athletics department
has made a bigger financial com
mitment to sports for their travel
to guarantee that student-ath
letes wi.ll not have to do a lot of
the fundraising themselves.
"With the academic require
ments at LC, together with their
athletic commitment, the last
thing we need our student-ath
letes doing is selling candy bars
door-to-door ," Wallo said.
Due to limited resources, and
in order to make sure that this
funding for travel is distributed
fairly across teams, out-of-region
trips are cycled through teams
from year to year.
The men's basketball team,
for example, went to Hawaii last
year, resulting in a large travel
budget. This year they have a
much smaller travel budget.
Women's basketball , track &
field, women's golf, and baseball
all have higher travel budgets
this year to cover costly out-of
region trips, but their travel bud
gets will decrease next year
when other sports have that ad
vantage.
The formula for calculating
how much money each team will
get for any travel is exactly the
same across sports. There is set
per-diem food and lodging al
lowance per athlete. Wallo is
also currently working on set-"--. /
ting a plane fare maximum for
out-of-region trips in order to
maintain as much equality be
tween teams as possible. Any
trip requiring higher airfare will
require additional fundr aising.
"This is just one example of
how we're continually tweaking
our system to make sure it has
fair and eqUitable across the
board as we can," Wallo said.
In fact, the LC athletics de
partment funds its athletics in a
somewhat unique way. "We base
our budget on policies and pro
cedures [such as the per-diem
allowances], instead of offering
a bottom-lin e dollar amount,"
Wallo explained.
In the latter structure, a coach
may decide to use the money on
all new uniforms and offer no
travel, while another coach may
travel a team a lot in worn-out
uniforms . The student-athlete,
in this case, may be treated quite
differently in each sport, leaving,
at the very least, the perception
of inequality in funding. How
ever, in reality the funding is dis
tributed quite fairly.
The LC athletic department,
on the other hand, makes every
attempt to use a systematic and
objective budgeting process to
make sure all sports are equita
bly funded across gender lines
and from sport to sport.
Pioneer basketball begins, but where's the bang?
by Zach Mann
The wait is finally over. Lewis
& Clark College basketball is
upon us. Or is it? Based on the
attendance of the inaugural
game of the 2001-2002 season
one might think to the contrary.
A mere 650 faithful fans popu
lated the bleacher style seats of
the Pamplin Sports Center on
what should have been the most
raucous night since the grand
opening of Krispy Kreme.
A preseason home opener for
this highly anticipated season
should have been enough to get
the crowd excited and rowdy.
Instead, a nervous quiet re
sounded over the LC section
while loud cries of enthusiasm
resonated from the opposition 's
tiny crowd. The uproarious
crowds of last year were nowhere
in Sight.
I cannot blame the Pio fans
entirely for their lack of spirit.
The game itself offered little in
excitement and lacked any re
semblance of what I expected to
see from the Pio's this year. One thing that attributed to
the lackadaisical pace of the
game was how many three
pointers were taken in the game.
It seemed like both teams
wanted to test themselves and
see how their shots were at this
early stage in the schedule . Get
ting confidence is one thing but
the long rebounds and sloppy
fast breaks was what the results
were.
Both teams shot so many
bricks from behind the arc that
they could have rebuilt the Ber
lin Wall by halftime. LC shot
twenty-four percent from trey
land going 6 of 25, while their
counterparts from Cascade shot
3 of 17 for a game low 18 per
cent.
Even without all the three's,
the game lacked the quickness
and ball movement that teams
need to win on this level of play.
The offense looked out of sync
and not until the last few min
utes of the game did the defense
get aggressive and press the Cas
cade team.
Senior guard Scott Davis led both teams with 25 points and
four steals. Fellow senior guard
Jeff Auxier displayed the most
hustle as Jne shot 5 of 6 in the
first half and grabbed two offen
sive rebounds that were con
verted for points. ForwardJohn
Mietus was the other spark plug
for the team, contributing 8 re
bounds and 12 from the three
point line, going 2 for 5. At the
other forward position, Colin
Oriard led the Pioneers in re
bounding with 11, blocks with
two, and assists with four.
The Pio's played well enough
to beat an undisciplined Cas
cade team 87-72. Two
games were played
over the Thanksgiving
break bringing LC's
record to 2-1. Their
national ranking, ac
cording . to
d3hoops .com,
dropped from three to
eight. A close and dis
appointing loss to
Westminster of Utah
(4-4) in Lewiston,
Idaho was not enough to put a damper on the holiday
weekend as LC went on to beat
their next opponent, Lewis-Clark
State College, in overtime 111-
105. The Pio's shot 100% from
. the field during the extra period
out firing their opponent to win.
Davis led the Pio's in scoring
with 26 while Auxier went 4-4
from behind the ark including a
three in OT. Oriard had his best
performance of the year contrib
uting 20 points on 8 of 11 shoot
ing including two three's and five
points in the extra time. He led
the team with 12 rebounds and,
42 tiring minutes. Davis was named to the All
Tournament team for his acco
lades in his team's two games. A
heavy weight of a national rank
ing may be more of a burden
then a blessing, in my humble
opinion.
Not to add any pressure to
this team, but a successful sea
son would be nothing less than
then a trip back to the Sweet 16.
This pressure is undoubtedly
warranted and anxiously waiting
behind this jittery and excited
ball club is a champion waiting
their turn to step into the spot
light.

ASLC Update
by Shannon Chaney
Welcome back to school ev
eryone! Aren't we all just ever
so happy to be back? No com
ment here. Council got quite a
bit done before we all parted for
Turkey day. Satya finished her
proposal for a current events
forum and talked with some
local masseuses to get cheap
rates for massages during finals
in the library. Hannah is work
ing on LC OlympiCS and getting
the gym hours extended. The
Transportation and Parking
Committee meeting was post
poned, so the new parking ap
peal process has not been pre
sented yet. ISLC has all the
countries represented for the
International Fair, but has yet
to choose a logo and theme be-cause they could not decide.
Cody worked with Jon Eldridge
on getting a proposal for extend
ing the move in and move out
times at the beginning and end
of the school years for upper
classmen . Council is trying to get
an online trading post set up for
buying and selling books and al
lowing students more freedom
when it comes to buying class
books. RAG asked council for
ASLC's support in bringing
Laughing Horse books on cam
pus for the first three days of class
of next semester, council ap
proved. The newly created Stu
dent Art Council had their first
meeting last week and are going
to look into getting more say for
the students on the display in the
Gallery of Contemporary Art. Lastly, Dusty and Julian are pre
paring for a.n election regarding
making the school climate neu
tral. Students will have the
choice to a.) raise student fees
by $30 to have LC become cli
mate neutral, b.) raising student
fees $5 to meet Kyoto Protocol,
or c.) not raise fees. This vote
will occur at the end of the first
week of the spring semester. In
the mean time opportunities will
be provided to allow the student
body to educate themselves on
climate neutrality .
So there you have it, council
is getting stuff done even with
out student input. Imagine what
we could do if we actually heard
from you! Feel free to stop by

Student Lounge. Campus coffee shop
finds new grounds
Mr. Bean's Coffee Shop
has moved from BoDine to
the first floor of the library
to make room for
communications and
sociology /anthropology
offices.
by Jovanna Schussel
Anyone who tried, in vain, to
visit Mr. Bean's Expresso in
BoDine upon returning to cam
pus met with a disappointment.
The popular coffee shop, where
students can go for coffee,
snacks, or just to hang out, has
been moved from its original 10-
cation.
This has been done to make
room for temporary offices for
members of the communications
and SOciology/anthropology de
partments while their offices in
the Albany building are being
renovated. This project has been
in the planning process for some
time, and now the renovations
in Albany and the temporary
changes to BoDine have begun.
Mr. Bean's was moved to the
staff lounge on the lower level
ofWatzek Library. This is a tem
porary location for the business,
which will probably remain
there for about 18 months while the renovations are underway.
"We want people to know
that we are here and let students
know that they have a place to
go," said Kristy Glennon , super
visor of Mr. Bean's.
Mr. Bean's reopened on Mon
day, November 19, but since this
was right before Thanksgiving
break, many students are not yet
aware of its change in location.
The shop is currently gearing "-----We want people to
know that we are
here and let students
know that they have
a place to go
Kristy Glennon -----"
up for Christmas with new items
on the menu, such as eggnog
lattes and hot apple cider. No
other menu changes have oc
curred otherwise . The staff
lounge is actually convenient for
the staff of Mr. Bean's, because it
is equipped with a sink and a
dishwasher .
"It's great for students to have
a place to sit down and hang
out," said Glennon .

~he Pioneer Log is funded by your
~tudent fees. Student-led NGO addresses challenges
by Andrew Zahler
For two months last summer,
senior Katie Phares got to see a
side of life previousl y unimag
inable to her. As a volunteer
with World Camp for Kids,
Phares traveled with nine
American coworkers in South
ern Africa, providing two-day
educational camps for children,
many of them orphaned by the
AIDS virus.
World Camp for Kids began
in the summer of 2000 during a
week-long service project orga
nized by LC alumna Brenna
Dorrance (2001) and Laura Ivey,
a student at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill
(UNC-CH). Dorrance and Ivey
met during their studies with
the School for International
Training (SIT) in South Africa
and opted to collaborate on a
HIV/AIDS educational camp for
children. The two students re
turned to the U.S. to organize
and solicit funds for a more am
bitious project for the follOwing
summer.
With help from Phares and
UNC-CH student Baker
Henson, Dorrance and Ivey suc
cessfully incorporated World
Camp for Kids as a non-govern
mental organization (NGO).
The group recruited six other
volunteers to perform what
Dorrance calls "grassroots activ
ism at its core." They secured.
funding from friends and fam
ily, as well as through a lelter
writing campaign . Additional
assistance came from NGOs, lo
cal organizations in Africa, and
the General Allocations Board of
ASLC, which granted the pro
gram $1000.
The ten volunteers spent
their first week in Africa travel
ing and transporting materials to
Durban, South Africa, the site of
the first camp. From there, they
traveled north into Botswana
and Zambia, then east to
Malawi.
Dorrance, Phares and the
others set out with the desire to
make a positive impact in the lives of disadvantaged child.en
in Southern Africa. Their mis
sion statement emphaSizes com
munity pride, education about
local issues, and giving children
"aspirations for the future." In
many cases, the children they
worked with had lost their par
ents to AIDS.
Statistics in the CIA World
Fact Book for 1999 provide
merely a glimpse at the crippling
effect of HIV/AIDS on African
nations. In South Africa, an es
timated 4.2 million South Afri
cans live with HIV/AIDS in a
population of 43 million. In
Botswana , 290,000 out of 1.5
million people live with HIV/
AIDS. In Zambia, it is 870,000
out of 9.7 million, and in
Malawi, 800,000 out of 10.5 mil
lion.
In Durlban and other stops,
Phares, Dorrance and the other
volunteers witnessed a more hu
man side of the toll.
"[It was difficult] faCing the
hundreds of children everyday
who were AIDS orphans and had
no choice: but to live in the
school houses together," Phares
says. "I had no concept of what
life was like for them, and fac
ing that pain day in and day out
while accomplishing everything
the company [World Camp for
Kids] needed me to was an ex
treme challenge ."
The camps' curriculum con
sisted of a variety of interactive
workshops, which covered HIV/
AIDS, the environment, health
and hygiene, and art. Many of
the workshops used games to
make the children active partici
pants in the learning.
Despite relatively smooth op
erations (only two workers be
came ill), a few challenges arose.
In Durban, one boy threatened
the voluntleers and other chil
dren. Furthermore, the supplies
that the volunteers had brought
to distribute, including
toothbrushes, were at times
more attractive than lesson
plans. "We were really naive to
think they [the children] all
wanted to learn," Phares recalls. PHOTO COURTESY KATIE PHARES
LC senior Katie Phares and a girl from the Chipalas school
in Malawi participate in a water-conservation obstacle
course at the end of a day camp.
"Mostly they just wanted the
stuff. "
Planning is underwa y to con
tinue World Camp next year,
with 10 LC students and 20
UNC-CH students Signed up to
participate . The summer 2002
program will expand its geo
graphic reach to include Latin
America at the same time it nar
rows its focus to camps in
Malawi and Honduras .
Phares values her experience
with World Camp for Kids for
providing an opportunity for
personal growth, and a change
of perspective .
"Being a math major, I have
been accused several times of
seeing the world in an altered
point of view, that is, I see a prob-lem and I simply try to find the
solution," she says. "I think that
math has contributed to that, but
I think watching World Camp
for Kids grow into what it is has
given me reason beyond a doubt
to believe that we can al\ do out
part against the huge issues fac
ing our world today."
But Phares also emphaSize s
that World Camp for Kids was
far less an individual than a team
experience, and retains tremen
dous respect for the company.
"It's an amazing thing to see
something start with just three
sentences of a mission statement
and become what it has today,"
Phares says. "I believe whole
heartedly in its potential to be
an incredibly effective NGO."
Til rallies LC tennis with humor, expertise, accent
by Casia Freitas
Considered one of the top
tennis clinicians in the world,
Gundars Tilmanis ("Til" for
short) has been coaching the
men and women's varsity tennis
teams at Lewis &: Clark College
for the past ten years. Til has
coached players of ranging abil
ity levels all over the world for
the last 37 years, including many
nationally ranked players. At LC,
he teaches the intermediate/ad
vanced tennis classes.
Til describes his philosoph y
for his varsity players by saying,
"I don't get hung up on the
[player's] win-loss record; I get
hung up on their effort, playing
smart, and hustling." ' .
"He truly enjoys what he does
ou t there on the court every day,"
senior Cayley Bell says of Til.
"Whether it's a tennis class, or a
team practice, I always look for
ward to Til's good humor, his fun
drills, and his enthusiasm for the
sport." The internationally recognized
Gundars "Til" Tilmanis has
coached LC tennis for ten years.
Til suggests that competing
with "controlled aggressiveness "
is important to success in any
sport. "Control, by itself, is usu
ally 'not doing enough.' Aggres
siveness, by itself, is often 'over
kill.' Extremes are rarely right,"
Til says.
Til's part-time position at the
College allows him to travel all over the world to speak as a cli
nician for both the United States
Tennis Association (USTA) and
the International Tennis Federa
tion (lTF). Til has written three
books on tennis, one of which
is used as a textbook by the lTE
Til also represents Head/Penn
sporting equipment.
"In one month I'll make a trip
somewhere around the world to
speak, I'll coach my Lewis &:
Clark teams, my 36 junior play
ers and my ladies group in Lake
Oswego. The variety keeps me
going," Til says.
Til's innovative , energetic
style of coaching has drawn
praise throughout the tennis
world. To spice up the learning
process, Til pulls out racquets
with oversized heads, long
necks, double heads or handles,
walking sticks, etc. "I try to work
them naturally into presenta
tions," he says. "If you have to
force it, it doesn't work. Those
racquets have been all over the
world with me." Born in Riga, Latvia and
raised in Melbourne , Australia ,
Til grew up hearing the sounds
of bouncing tennis balls day and
night from the tennis club next
door. Intrigued , Til was soon
walking 1.5 miles and taking a
train every Saturday for tennis
lessons.
"I loved to play tennis, even
though I wasn't very good at it. I
liked the feel of it," Til says.
After graduating from the
University of Melbourn e, Til
came to the United States in
1966. He received a Master's De
gree in PhYSical Education from
the University of Oregon, where
he walked onto the varsity team
and was their top ranked player
for two years.
Til has a heart for tennis and
the community . In the early
1980s, Til worked closely with
Arthur Ashe and Larry Tabak to
establish the pilot program for
instruction of tennis into inner
city schools, the first school be
ing in Portland .
2 Pioneer Log November 30, 2001 ===============================::::::::::== 'F a ru m =, =====P=io=ne=ler=L~og======
Recognizing the masculine mystique
by Clifton Fels
For years now, a question that
has plagued feminists is the na
ture of male resistance to female
change. Why are so many men
disturbed by the prospect of
women's independence?
For years, many men have
resented it, feared it, and fought
it, and not always conSCiously.
However, when you consider
what men have lost over the last
sixty years-a useful role in pub
lic life, a way of earning a de
cent and reliable living, appre
ciation in the home, respectful
treatment in culture-the more
it seems that men of the late
twentieth century, and early
twenty-first, are falling into a
status oddly similar to that of
women in mid-century .
The fifties housewife,
stripped of her connections to a
wider world and invited to fill
that void with shopping and the
ornamental display of her
ultrafemininity, could be said to
have morphed into the nineties
man, stripped of his connections
to a wider world and invited to
fill the void with consumption
and a gym-bred display of his
ultramasculinity. The empty
compensations of a "feminine
mystique " are transforming into
the empty compensations of a
masculine mystique , with a ci
gar club no more satisfying than
a ladies' bake-off, the Nike Air
Jordan no more meaningful than
a bottle of Chanel NO.5. The real question , 1 think, is
that instead of wondering why
men resist women's struggles for
change for a freer and healthier
life, why don't men engage in
their own struggle? Why haven't
men responded to the series of
betrayals in their own lives with
something the coequal of femi
nism? When the enemy their fa
thers sent them to crush turned
out to be women and children
cowering in huts, when the cor
porations their fathers promised
would buoy them downsized
them, when the women they
were told wanted their support
instead got jobs, when every
thing they were taught about
masculinity turned out to be a
crock, why did these sons do
nothing?
Women responded to the
"problem with no name" (as
Betty Friedan called it) by nam
ing it and founding a political
movement, by beginning a pro
cess of freeing themselves . Why
haven't men done the same? The
real mystery behind the so
called "masculinity crisis" (as
it's been called in the news for
b . hnny k.
If George wins.
I'm moving to Canadal the last decade) isn't that men are
fighting against women's libera
tion, but that they have refused
to mobilize for their own-or .
their society's-liberation .
Many women complain that
men just don't want to give up
the "reins of power." But really,
that doesn't apply to most men
who individually don't feel the
reins of power in their hands, but
its bit in their mouths. More
likely, many men are simply
clinging to a phantom status of
control and cultural importance .
To understand why men are
reluctant to break with codes of
manhood, we should understand
how strong the social constraints
on men are. It's not just women
who are bombarded with cultural
messages about appropriate gen
der behavior . In the past half
century, Madison Avenue, Holly
wood, and the mass media have
operated re:lentlessly on men,
too. The levd of mockery, suspi
cion, and animosity directed at
men who step out of line is pro
found, and men respond pro
foundly-with silence and pas-
sivity.
If Oubya gloes to war,
I'm movin!} to Canada! .. If men don't respond, per
haps it's because society has
proposed no route for them to
venture down. There have been
pseudo-alternative visions of
masculinity , none of them re
ally satisfactory. The so-called
men's movement , clinging to
its caveman cliches, was a bust.
The Promise Keepers were just
living fantasies of past fanta
sies, and the gay culture, as it
gets more and more absorbed
into the larger corporate struc
ture, really has no voice in
challenging masculine roles.
But wait. Didn't the women's
movement make its own way,
without any assistance-with
a lot of resistance, actually
from the dominant culture? So
why can't men act? Are they
that paralyzed, that confused,
that resentful, that ignorant ,
that stupid, that prideful, that
domineering, that hopeless? I
suspect not, but who knows at
this point what it will take.
What do you say, should there
be a Myn's Center in the
works?

Falun Gong: persecuted far and wide
by Sarah Cook
In 1992, Mr. Li Hongzhi in
troduced the public to Falun
Gong, a peaceful mind, body,
and spirit practice based on the
principles of Truthfulness , Com
passion, and Tolerance. Since its
introduction , it has benefited
tens of millions of people in 40
countries. Unfortunately , 7 years
later, in July of 1999, the Chi
nese government launched a vi
cious campaign to eradicate
Falun Gong. Over the past two
and a half years, tens of thou
sands of ordinary citizens who
practice Falun Gong have been
arrested, tortured, and jailed
without trial, and at least 319
have died.
But that's happening in
China, on the other side of the
world, so there's no reason to
care, right? Wrong. It's spread
ing here too.
On September 7, three men
attacked a group of practitioners
in Chicago who were in the
middle of a hunger strike to pro
test the persecution . At least a dozen mayors from cities in
California, Illinois, Washington,
Maryland and Michigan have
reported pressure from Chinese
officials to rescind proclama
tions honoring Falun Gong, of
ten while mentioning the im
portance of U.S.-Chinese trade.
"The whole thing sounded like
a propaganda pitch to me," said
Tod Satterthwaite , mayor ofUr
bana, Illinois, who ignored the
Chinese demands . Unfortu
nately, others have yielded. In
1999, mayors in Seattle, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Bal
timore -all important shipping
centers -revoked proclamations
honoring Falun Gong.
But you do not even have to
look as far as Seattle. Let me tell
you a story. Once, there was a
girl who received a phone call
from her boyfriend one Monday
evening. He was calling to tell
her that he was in jail in Beijing.
She immediately called his par
ents and a friend, who contacted
the media and called people
who might be able to help in ob
taining his release. She didn't get much sleep that night, but then
again neither did he, since he was
being interrogated, slapped, and
kicked by the police in Beijing.
For the next 36 hours she took
her cell phone with her every
where, just in case he called to
say he was all right. Finally, on
Wednesday afternoon the call
came from his mom saying that
she had heard from him and he
was safe.
This girl doesn't live in China
- I live in Portland , and I am a
student at Lewis &. Clark. My
boyfriend isn't Chinese - he is an
American-Israeli citizen. V'v'e are
both Falun Gong practitioners
and the persecution in China is
very real to us. If we were Chi
nese citizens, he would have
been sentenced to three years in
a labor camp'or taken to a men
tal insti tu t:ion to be "re-edu
cated", and I may never have heard from him again.
This isn't about politics.
This isn't about foreign policy.
This isn't about trade agree
ments. This is about freedom.
This is about doing what's
right. This is about putting an
end to brutality, violence, and
corruption, and replaCing them
with truthfulness , compassion,
and tolerance .
What's the first thing you
can do? Educate yourself.
Come to Council Ch.ambers on
Monday Dec 3 at 7pm and learn
more about the practice and the
persecution . They're counting
on your ignorance to allow
them to continue this horrid
treatment of peace-seeki ng in
dividuals. I hope you will feel
afterwards that this directly
concerns you and you will want
to find out about simple ways
to help. What is
it. about

roughly estimates that 5-6%--or
35 out of 600 lewis &: Clark
employees--are alumni. Of these,
he believes that most go away
after graduation and find their
way back fairly early in
their careers.
Lewis &:
Clark does
not ac
tively
r e -
cruit
gradu
ates, he
says, but
the Informa-
tion Technology
and Admissions
departments do hire
former students at high
rates.
For most recent graduates
who return to campus, the cir
cumstances just worked out.
Dayna Kirk, who works in
CSAW, graduated in May, and is
employed as a temp worker. As
a student, she had worked as a
student organizer for health-re
lated services her senior year.
When the position was vacated,
Kirk was offered the job, a con
venient situation for the interim
period while she applies to medi
cal school.
Special circumstances also
applied to the case of Noah
Kersey, who was recently hired
as an Administrative Coordina
tor for College Outdoors . Noah knew that he was going to be in
Portland for a while, but didn't
have any plans to look for work
on campus. The woman for
merly holding his position was
offered another job and had to
leave suddenly , so Noah applied
for the job, along with approxi
mately fifty other applicants. Joe
Yuska, director of College Out
doors, says that Noah's familiar
ity with CO's programs and com
puters was an advantage . "We
look for the
best person
out there.
Noah was
certainly
qualified
for the
po s i
t ion
and
h e
aro
could step n
on short notice
and hit the g r 0 u n d
run n i n g , " Yuska said.
"There are advantages to
both [hiring alumni and hiring
from elsewhere] . With one, you
get new blood, new ideas, and
with the other, you get the fa
miliarity with all the depart
ments, and a knowledg e of how
to get things done," Yuska said,
echOing the sentiment of many
staff in hiring positions on cam
pus. Being an alumnus and knowing people helps, but hav
ing the qualifications for the
position is certainly first and
foremost.
As for the Information Tech
nology department, where cur
rently 7 out of 22 staff members
are alumni, most people leave
and come back later, or pOSSibly
transfer from other departments
on campus, though a few are
hired immediately after gradua
tion.
Kelly Wainwright, alumnus
and director of client services,
says that lewis &: Clark's atmo
sphere, with its emphaSiS on
learning, is what drew her back.
"The goal isn't to make such and
such money on a given day. It's
to help a class or a person,"
Wainwright said.
Another reason people might
return, she said, is that currently,
there is a lot of fluctuation in the
technology industry and LC of
fers some stability. It is a transi
tion between being a student and
being a profeSSional here, she
adds. "It's different. At first, I had
to work extra hard because I was
working with faculty and I had
to change the way they saw me
in their mind's eye from being a
student to being a profeSSional,"
Wainwrig ht said.
Overall, every circumstance is
different. lewis &: Clark alumni
come to work here on campus
for many of the same reasons
they might choose to work any
where: a good atmosphere , an
enjoyable position, a nice loca
tion, good pay. Being an alum
nus undeniably helps in at least
getting an interview here, but
the person ultimatel y has to
prove how much they learned in
their four years at lewis &:
Clark.
More-hours and bigger pa),checks
lure students to off campus jobs
by Joe Clock
"I like to be independent of
school institutions ," said sopho
more Sara Taylor, explaining
why she works off campus. Tay
lor, like a number of other stu
dents, is drawn to work off cam
pus by the higher wages avail
able, the freedom to work more
hours, and the opportunity to
spend some time away from lC
during the week.
Taylor works at the Petit So
phisticate in the Lloyd Center
mall selling business clothes to
small women. Taylor began
working at the Pelit Sophisticate
last May, and worked there
throughout the summer. When
school began she chose to con
tinue working there, finding it
more appealing than the jobs
available on campus. Senior Melissa AlmqUist
works off campus for similar rea
sons. She has worked as a server
at The Keg, a restaurant and bar
specializing in steaks and chops,
since the beginning of last June.
Almquist enjoys waitressing,
finding the job challenging both
phYSically and mentally .
AlmqUist also earns more work
ing at The Keg than she would
on campus, saying, "I could
make a living working at The
Keg, a good one."
Another important advantage
to working off campus for
Almquist is the opportunity to
spend time away from campus.
She said, "I really enjoy work
ing off campus because it gives
me a new perspective on life--it
takes me off the intellectual
cloud."
Working off campus, for both
4 Pioneer Log November 30, 2001 Taylor and Almquist , has its dis
advantag es. Both find them
selves strained at times by the
time commitm ent their jobs re
quire. Both work on weekends,
sacrifiCing their free time to
work. "I don't get to chill with
my gente [people] on week
ends." Taylor said, expressing
her frustration about lOSing time
with her friends to her job.
Almquist complains that af
ter working Fridays and Satur
days, weekends do not leave her
feeling rejuvenated. Taylor also
finds herself trying to fit home
work into her schedule around
work, class, and teaching for her
Educatio n in Modern Society
class.
Both Almquist and Taylor
have cars, and neither find trans
portation to and from their jobs
to be serious concerns . CSAW offers job help with
connections and workshops
by Colleen Welch
I was frantically writing an
essay in the library when lover
heard a few seniors discussing a
classmat e who had already
found a job. These seniors were
amazed that this person was so
ahead of the game. As a procras
tinator extraordinair e, I can cer
tainly understand putting off an
essay or an assignment, but wait
ing until the last minute to find
your path after college seems
about as dangerous as waiting
until June of your senior year to
apply for college. The career de
velopment program, as part of
the Center for Service and Work,
is offered by lewis &: Clark Col
lege as a bridge between college
and so-called "life."
This is the first year that the
career development program at
lewis &: Clark College has been
included in CSAW; previously, it
was part of the Career and Hu
man Resource Developmen t pro
gram. The move has prompted
CSAW to improve and remodel
the program. Director of CSAW
Shan nan Fasold says that goals
for the program include bring
ing more undergraduates, espe
cially small groups, into the ca
reer development office. The re
organization of the program has
also involved an assessment of
how lewis &: Clark's career de
velopment offerings compare to
those of other schools. Fasold
says that the offerings of LC's
career development program are
on par with many other colleges
of the same size and type, al
though it is difficult to know
how many seniors in a given
class use the career development
office, as no statistics have ever
been gathered. She also adds that
the resources are primarily used
by current students and recent
alumni. Rarely do those chang
ing jobs mid-life use the pro-gram, as they already have a
broad network of contacts
within their field.
Fasold suggests that under
graduate students become in
volved with CSAW as early as
possible. For those who are not
sure which desk they want to be
sitting behind in ten years,
CSAW offers tests to determin e
a student's preferences and tal
ents. Students can also be put in
contact with alumni in their area
of interest, both for networking
and information purposes.
Alumni site visits offer the op
portunity of experiencing first
hand potential workplace envi
ronments. Recently, students
journeyed to the office of a mar
riage and family therapist as part
of this program. Workshops are
also put on periodically to help
students write profession al re
sumes and cover letters or shine
at a job interview. Informal
"Brown Bag Sessions" allow stu
dents to chat with visiting
alumni, discuss certain careers,
or receive information about
graduate schools. Finally, the
CSAW web page includes exten
sive links to possible internships
and full time jobs.
Fasold admits that the effec
tiveness of the program is depen
dent on the motivation of stu
dents to wander into the CSAW
office and sign up for an inter
view, brown bag session, or
workshop . In the future, the ca
reer development office, with
CSAW, may stuff incoming and
returning student packets with
information . Fasold says that
the career development team in
CSAW is "making lots of head
way as far as students becoming
aware of who we are." The pro
gram could also be improved
with a thorough examination of
how many students actually use
the resources, and how effective
they find the programs. Advertisement Pioneer Log

Incubus live: fun, but hardly worth the ticket
by Aaron Landau
Incubus belongs to Mike
Einziger. One of five in the band,
Einziger brings some of the more
inventive guitar work heard on
modern rock radio. There is tal
ent elsewhere in the band, but
it's his arsenal of twisted chops
that keeps Incubus from being
indistinguishable from an al
ready homogenous genre.
Accordingly, their Nov. 15
show at the Salem Armory be
gan with a Single spotlight.
Einziger stood alone at far-left
stage, sporting a phenomenally
large blonde afro and casually
pushing out the first chords of
Incubus ' opening set. The
crowd, of course, went nuts;
even the high-school boys try
ing to impress their girlfriends
seemed giddy. Before long, the
rest of what is now one of mod
ern rock's most popular' bands
joined Einziger and tore into
"Privilege" from their recent CD
Make Yourself.
It was a dramatic but almost
tiredly familiar opening to what would turn out to be more of the
same: hit after hit of funk-in
fused radio-rock , played exactly
the way the audience had heard
a hundred times before.
"Pardon Me," the band's first
attack on the Billboard charts,
was an early climax to the show.
It's a decent song; even those
who seemed to be there just to
see opening act Onesidezero
were bobbin' their heads. But the
song was performed exactly as
it was recorded, note for note,
scratch for scratch.
Eventually, the lights came
down, the drummer , bassist, and
DJ each took their places back
stage, and two bars tools were set
front-and-center. Lead singer
and percussionist Brandon Boyd
joined an acoustic-clad Einziger
for a brief unplugged set, cover
ing both "Mexico" and their re
cent hit "Drive." I paid particu
lar attention to the second song;
there's a slight choke in the vo
cal on the recorded version, and
I was curious whether Boyd
would pull the song off cleanly
before a live audience . Instead, From left: Einziger, DJ Lyfe, Boyd, Pasillas, and Katunich put on a less-than stellar show.
as if practicred, the slip found its
way into exactly the same note.
If this was less-than-inspiring
music, it was stunning in its ac
curacy.
Drumm,er Joe Pasillas,
basssist Alex Katunich , and DJ
Lyfe (Gavin Koppel) again joined Boyd and Einziger for the
latter half of "Drive." As the
band continued with the remain
der of Incubus' set, Boyd slowly
took off his shirt and half the
audience went nuts. It was as if
it were all Boyd could do to keep
the show interesting . Unfortu-nately, I hadn't come for Boyd's
chest, and the music wasn't
enough to keep me at the Ar
mory past the show's halfway
mark.
Until Incubus plays a show as
interesting as their songs are
catchy, stick to the CDs.
Quirky Moon Theory a diamond in the rough
by Erin Haick
Moon Theory's self-titled CD
found its way into the Piolog
office along with a half dozen
others. While some of these
disks will never see the light of
day (and for good reason), Moon
Theory came as a great surprise:
an independent, intelligent band
with clear influences, but with a
sound all their own.
Vocalist Kaeti O'Ghara and
producer TSO make up the San
Francisco-based rock band.
Lulling the listener with smooth,
intricate beats and O'Ghara's
flighty vocals, the songs never
theless come around to punch the listener with a hard, tight
chorus, never forgetting that
they are a rock band first and
foremost.
Opening with the guitar
driven "Insomnia" , Moon
Theory quickly establish their
sound: a complex blend of
triphop beiltS and rock arrange
ment, all under the bewitching
voice of vocalist O'Ghara .
O'Ghara's voice combines ele
ments of Portishead , Bjork, and
No Doubt's Gwen Stefani, fre
quently filtered through vocal
distorters. However , O'Ghara's
voice is so flexible that actual
machines are not often needed

6 Pioneer log November 30, 2001 to achieve the warped sound
emanating from the speakers.
Songs like "Shapeshifter" and
"Primevil" establish Moon
Theory's spiritual bent-a kind
of new age: mysticism mixed
with cyber-age sensibilities .
Other tracks, like "Thirst No
More" and the particularly ex
cellent "Feed your Master",
which neatly equates capitalism
and consumerism with a raven
ing, multi-headed monster, dem
onstrate the politicalleanillgs of
the band.
The ill-placed and jarring
"Blasphemy' '' is the album's most
obvious problem. Starting as a fierce, guitar driven rant, the
music is interrupted as "agents
of the FCC' invade the studio
where Moon Theory is record
ing, and struggle ensues while
the band is dragged off on
trumped up charges. While the
song does have a disturbing ele
ment, and should be applauded
as a statement against growing
problems of the music censor
ship, in the context of the album,
it knocks the listener completely
out of the flow of music that has
thus far been created. Such ex
periments are better left to hid
den tracks, or an ending that can
be programm ed out. The album might also benefit
from one more strictly-rock
number. After "Blasphemy," the
sound slows into down tempo
trip hop territory, and while the
songs are still good, the indi
viduality that shows through so
well in the earlier tracks is miss
ing until "Shapeshifter " re
sumes, three songs later.
The closing track "Savior"
moves away from the political or
spiritual fare of earlier songs as
a simple love song. The lyrical
material is not overly ambitious ,
but the instrumental sensuality
is still there, and Moon Theory
finish with a flourish.
LC JazZ: small size, big talent
by Joe Clock
I went to Evans Auditorium
on Friday evening, Nov. 15, ex
pecting to hear big band jazz.
The band that took the stage,
however, was not very big. Al
though the Lewis &: Clark Jazz
Ensemble is smaller than it was
in the past, it is made up of a
group of talented musicians that
both improvise well and play
well together.
The band suffered its great
est losses in the brass section,
and was left with only two trum
pets and one trombone . In re
sponse Friday's program in
cluded many song arrangements
featuring the saxophone section.
Even with the small brass sec
tion, however, the band was still
able to achieve an even balance
between saxophones and brass.
The band covered a wide va
riety of musical styles in the ten
songs that comprised the con
cert on Friday night, and played
some obviously difficult songs
very well. They stayed together
through the fast, syncopated
rhythms of some songs, and
slowed to the softer ballad style
of others.
Director David Becker said that the Jazz Ensemble had been
fOCUSing on improvisation this
semester, and throughout the
concert nearly every member of
the band was featured.
The band's theme of impro:
visation culminated with their
final number, "Mercy, Mercy,
Mercy" a song that the band ob
viously knew well, and that fea
tured a solo from nearly every
member, including an impro
vised dialogue between Eric
Miller's trumpet and Leslie
Kernochan 's saxophone .
Kernoch an and Miller were
two of the more impressive so
loists in the concert overall.
Miller's trumpet solos were var
ied and creative, and did not lose
themselves in complexit y.
Kernochan is an extremely tal
ented saxophone player, and
each of her solos sounded
smooth and natural.
The rhythm section has the
most members in the Jazz En
semble, and throughout the con
cert they matched the talent of
the rest of the band. Drummer
Jesse Brooke took a few solos,
playing creative solos that
started subtly. As his solos be
gan I wouldn't really notice that the band had dropped out and I
didn't miss them. The solos
would build and filled their
space well.
There were also some im
pressive bass and guitar solos
Friday night. Bass player James
Zdrowski played some interest
ing solos, and guitarist Dan Wil
son showed off his talent a few
times.
Pianist Galen Clark also
played a few solos, demonstrat
ing his musical skill and famil
iarity with jazz and the piano.
Several other members of the
band had a chance to show off
their talent, and none were dis
appointing.
The only problem the Jazz
Ensemble showed came out of
the strength of their rhythm sec
tion. At times, the rhythm sec
tion took attention from the
saxophones or brass as they
played the melodies and it
would have been better if they
had been a little quieter.
Although theJazz Ensemble
is not exactly a big band, it fea
tures several talented musicians,
and can put on a fun, informal
concert containing some high
quality music. Where's the money, LC?
by Liz Hummer
In an ideal world money
wouldn't matter. But as they say,
money makes the world go
round, and varsity sports at
Lewis & Clark College are no
different. Sports teams need suf
ficient funding to maintain qual
ity programs and offer a fulfill
ing athletic experience to the
students who watch and partici
pate on the eighteen varsity
teams.
Considering the variety of the
sports offered at LC funding is
distrubuted across teams with
distinctly different needs.
Contrary to what some may
think, money is not dolled out
to the successful teams, leaving
the smaller and less prestigious
squads with the spare change.
PhYSical Education & Athletics
Director Steve Wallo explained ,
"There's a lot of formality to the
process we've developed over a
long time to determine what's
fair, and it's a very complex pro
cedure."
The first aspect that must be
considered is a team's opera
tional budget.
This budget includes uni-forms, equipment, and other ev
eryday needs to keep the pro
gram running. Obviously, the fi
nancial requirements of a large
football squad with lots of equip
ment will exceed those of a ten
nis team.
Although the amounts may
differ, however, the athletic de
partment works hard to make
sure that all of these needs are
met equally. This equal treat
ment is integral, Wallo believes,
for a strong NCAA Division III
athletics program.
Every couple of years, each
varsity coach goes through a full
zero-base budgeting process.
Each coach presents his or her
basic financial needs for the year
to establish a base operating
budget.
This is the time when Wallo
and Associate Director, Judy
McMullen , reevaluate what it is
that each coach sees as being the
base funding level for his or her
sport, and then try to make de
cisions as to what funding seems
fair.
One coach may request the
very best equipment and uni
forms, while another may be
very cost-conscious. Differences such as these must be balanced
in order to develop a fair base
budget for each sport.
To help determine what
amount of funding is fair for
each team, 'Wallo also evaluates
the funding of other Northwest
Conference (NWC) schools.
There are no NCAA or con
ference rules or standards for
funding, leaving room for finan
cial disparities between com
petitors.
"It is important that LC fund
its sports at a similar level as
other colleges in order to stay
competitivle," explained Wallo,
"although this is not the decid
ing factor in the base budget
ing process."
In addition to the base oper
ating budget for each team, it is
determined what purchases can
be spread out over several years
in order to prevent any large
spending spike in a given year.
Coaches give a four-year pro
posal for this cyclical budget.
The football team may buy
new jerseys one year and new
pants the next, for example,
while the track program may
invest in new rain gear one year
and new uniforms the next.
"We try to maintain those cycles
as much as we can to make sure
that we're taking care of each
sport as equitably as we can,"
Wallo said.
As complex as the opera
tional budgeting process is, it is
only a fraction of a team's total
expenses . Travel costs take up
most of ea·ch sport's funding.
To determine travel budgets,
it is again helpful to look at how
competing schools are funding
their sports' travel. "It is impor
tant for LC to fund travel at a
relatively equal level as other
schools so as not to be at a re
cruiting disadvantage ," Wallo
said.
Working to attract potential
athletes does not outweigh con
cern for current athletes, how-Upcoming Pioneer Sports

ever. The athletics department
has made a bigger financial com
mitment to sports for their travel
to guarantee that student-ath
letes wi.ll not have to do a lot of
the fundraising themselves.
"With the academic require
ments at LC, together with their
athletic commitment, the last
thing we need our student-ath
letes doing is selling candy bars
door-to-door ," Wallo said.
Due to limited resources, and
in order to make sure that this
funding for travel is distributed
fairly across teams, out-of-region
trips are cycled through teams
from year to year.
The men's basketball team,
for example, went to Hawaii last
year, resulting in a large travel
budget. This year they have a
much smaller travel budget.
Women's basketball , track &
field, women's golf, and baseball
all have higher travel budgets
this year to cover costly out-of
region trips, but their travel bud
gets will decrease next year
when other sports have that ad
vantage.
The formula for calculating
how much money each team will
get for any travel is exactly the
same across sports. There is set
per-diem food and lodging al
lowance per athlete. Wallo is
also currently working on set-"--. /
ting a plane fare maximum for
out-of-region trips in order to
maintain as much equality be
tween teams as possible. Any
trip requiring higher airfare will
require additional fundr aising.
"This is just one example of
how we're continually tweaking
our system to make sure it has
fair and eqUitable across the
board as we can," Wallo said.
In fact, the LC athletics de
partment funds its athletics in a
somewhat unique way. "We base
our budget on policies and pro
cedures [such as the per-diem
allowances], instead of offering
a bottom-lin e dollar amount,"
Wallo explained.
In the latter structure, a coach
may decide to use the money on
all new uniforms and offer no
travel, while another coach may
travel a team a lot in worn-out
uniforms . The student-athlete,
in this case, may be treated quite
differently in each sport, leaving,
at the very least, the perception
of inequality in funding. How
ever, in reality the funding is dis
tributed quite fairly.
The LC athletic department,
on the other hand, makes every
attempt to use a systematic and
objective budgeting process to
make sure all sports are equita
bly funded across gender lines
and from sport to sport.
Pioneer basketball begins, but where's the bang?
by Zach Mann
The wait is finally over. Lewis
& Clark College basketball is
upon us. Or is it? Based on the
attendance of the inaugural
game of the 2001-2002 season
one might think to the contrary.
A mere 650 faithful fans popu
lated the bleacher style seats of
the Pamplin Sports Center on
what should have been the most
raucous night since the grand
opening of Krispy Kreme.
A preseason home opener for
this highly anticipated season
should have been enough to get
the crowd excited and rowdy.
Instead, a nervous quiet re
sounded over the LC section
while loud cries of enthusiasm
resonated from the opposition 's
tiny crowd. The uproarious
crowds of last year were nowhere
in Sight.
I cannot blame the Pio fans
entirely for their lack of spirit.
The game itself offered little in
excitement and lacked any re
semblance of what I expected to
see from the Pio's this year. One thing that attributed to
the lackadaisical pace of the
game was how many three
pointers were taken in the game.
It seemed like both teams
wanted to test themselves and
see how their shots were at this
early stage in the schedule . Get
ting confidence is one thing but
the long rebounds and sloppy
fast breaks was what the results
were.
Both teams shot so many
bricks from behind the arc that
they could have rebuilt the Ber
lin Wall by halftime. LC shot
twenty-four percent from trey
land going 6 of 25, while their
counterparts from Cascade shot
3 of 17 for a game low 18 per
cent.
Even without all the three's,
the game lacked the quickness
and ball movement that teams
need to win on this level of play.
The offense looked out of sync
and not until the last few min
utes of the game did the defense
get aggressive and press the Cas
cade team.
Senior guard Scott Davis led both teams with 25 points and
four steals. Fellow senior guard
Jeff Auxier displayed the most
hustle as Jne shot 5 of 6 in the
first half and grabbed two offen
sive rebounds that were con
verted for points. ForwardJohn
Mietus was the other spark plug
for the team, contributing 8 re
bounds and 12 from the three
point line, going 2 for 5. At the
other forward position, Colin
Oriard led the Pioneers in re
bounding with 11, blocks with
two, and assists with four.
The Pio's played well enough
to beat an undisciplined Cas
cade team 87-72. Two
games were played
over the Thanksgiving
break bringing LC's
record to 2-1. Their
national ranking, ac
cording . to
d3hoops .com,
dropped from three to
eight. A close and dis
appointing loss to
Westminster of Utah
(4-4) in Lewiston,
Idaho was not enough to put a damper on the holiday
weekend as LC went on to beat
their next opponent, Lewis-Clark
State College, in overtime 111-
105. The Pio's shot 100% from
. the field during the extra period
out firing their opponent to win.
Davis led the Pio's in scoring
with 26 while Auxier went 4-4
from behind the ark including a
three in OT. Oriard had his best
performance of the year contrib
uting 20 points on 8 of 11 shoot
ing including two three's and five
points in the extra time. He led
the team with 12 rebounds and,
42 tiring minutes. Davis was named to the All
Tournament team for his acco
lades in his team's two games. A
heavy weight of a national rank
ing may be more of a burden
then a blessing, in my humble
opinion.
Not to add any pressure to
this team, but a successful sea
son would be nothing less than
then a trip back to the Sweet 16.
This pressure is undoubtedly
warranted and anxiously waiting
behind this jittery and excited
ball club is a champion waiting
their turn to step into the spot
light.
