by Joe Clock
On Oct. 29 Khldhlr Hamza,
an Iraqi defector who worked to
develop nuclear weapons for
Saddam Hussein, will speak to
the lewis & Clark community.
Hamza will speak about the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and is­
sues related to them. He has
spoken about biological and
chemical weapons before, and
may cover them in his talk at
lC. He also may address what
he believes may be Saddam
Hussein's involvement with
Osama Bin laden.
Hamza defected to the
United States in 1994, and is
currently touring the country
speaking about Iraq's nuclear
and biological weapons,
Saddam Hussein, and American
poliCies and relations with Iraq.
His memoir Saddam 's Bomb
Maher: The TerriJying Inside
Story oj the Iraqi Nuclear and
Biological Weapons Agenda will
be published next fall.
Hamza is a scientist who was
educated at MIT and taught at
Florida State University, but
Hussein coerced him into re­
turning to Iraq to develop
nuclear weapons by threatening
his family. After his defection
Hamza gave the CIA and the
media a great deal of informa-Khidhir Hlamza worked to develop nuclear weapons in
Iraq. In 1994 he defected to the United States
tion about Hussein's weapons pro­
grams, goals, and character.
After Ilhe Sept. 11 attacks
Johanna Appel and SOFA began
making arrangements for Hamza to come to lC. Appel said that
SOFA wanted to bring Hamza
to lC because of his unique
perspective on terrorism and
biological weapons .

SCOOP
by Buzzy Nielsen
This Sunday, SAAB reviewed
six performance grant applica­
tions from Art students . There
were many wonderful projects.
Ceramics major Elizabeth
Cain was awarded $639 to pro­
duce an intriguing display for
the Senior Art Show. Elizabeth
is interested in how art can be
used to tell stories, she intends
to tell her personal stories by
creating ceramic totems. These
simple stories will depict signifi­
cant observations of hers and
what motivates her.
When we throwaway small
items, tools, and other such
things, photograph y major
Adam Burke uses them to cre­
ate his masterpi eces. Adam re­
ceived a grant for $400 to pro­
duce unique photo images of
"found" objects, simple items
that other people throwawa y.
Adam's photograph y causes one
to think about the everyday ob­
jects that surround us and the
inspiration that can come from
them.
Morgan law received a grant
for $300 to combine his inter­
ests in smokers and painting .
Morgan will create a series of
paintings for his senior Art
project exploring the subcultu re
of smoking through body and
skeletal structure . He would like
to explore the motivations of
smokers through his works and
will undoubtedly shed some in­
teresting light on the subject.
Finally, Heather Meyer, a
drawing major, is interested in
the city bus, speCifically the vast
diverSity of people and experi­
ences on the bus. Heather is try­
ing to capture this diversity
through her detailed drawings of
individuals that she sees on
buses. She was granted
$1,737.25 in order to complete
and frame her works for her dis­
play in December. Her work
definitely attests to her attention
to detail and ability to capture a
moment.
ASLC Update

dents.
The meeting on Oct. 16 con­
cerned campus planning with
Michael Sestric. The long term
goals of campus planning are to
create more and better quality
space for students for academ­
ics, residence , and athletics.
You are more than welcome
to attend any and all Council
meetings, every Tuesday, 5:15,
Dubach Student Lounge. ASLC gives students a voice
by Elizabeth Miller
ASLC is the organization that
creates the opportunity for Lewis
and Clark College to be a school
run for the students and by the.
students, to a point. The main
goal for ASLC is to improve stu­
dent lHe on campus, or "to im­
prove student life by working to
achieve goals that serve the stu­
dent interest." Anyone is wel­
come to come to the meetings
on Tuesday at 5:15 in Dubach.
"That's where we all get together
and tell each other what we've
been doing so we all know and
we discuss topics that might re­
late to all of us," said Cody
Hoesley, ASLC President. "Dif­
ferent people serve different
functions," said Hoesley, "Then
we have our four student reps
who have very small specific
functions which gives them a lot
of ability to tackle projects.
We've got all these specific
projects then, of course, the
other part of it is maintaining all
these specific groups which is
what a lot of the daily work of
those people without the real
structured jobs is."
"A huge project that we're
working on this year with ASLC
is reorganizing student govern­
ment. That entails making some
amendments to the ASLC by­
laws and the rules of procedure,
some of the different boards and
commissio ns of ASLC." Dusty
Hoesley said, "I think a major task for ASLC this year is mak­
ing sure that students are in­
cluded in the shared governmen t
decisions. To make sure that stu­
dents are included in everything
from campus planning to more
or less administrative or .execu­
tive decisions. Just that students
are really represented not just
within student groups but stu­
dents are represented on campus
with the administration. And
making sure students are on
pretty much every commillee
that exists. One of the things
we're doing this year is making
sure that there is a student on
every committee that we could
possibly get a student on."
"Students do have a lot of rep­
resentation, but a lot of the stu­
dents who are serving the stu­
dents aren't chosen by students
or elected by students they're
chosen by the administra tion,
the staff, or the faculty," said
Hoesley. On some committees,
such as the committee to prepare
for the events to commemo rate
the bi-centennial of the Lewis
and Clark Expedition and the
Committee on Academic Priori­
ties students are either forgotten
to be included in committee or
a decision as been made to ex­
clude students. "We're not on
some of the committees that re­
ally have a sweeping impact on
the institution and that's some­
thing we're hoping to try to
change so that students are never over-looked. "
The projects on the ASLC
website, a list open to new sug­
gestions and members Cody
Hoesley st.resses that students
mention aspects of the college
they are displeased with their
student representatives to at­
tempt to change it or to under­
stand why it has to stay the way
it is. Dusty Hoesley says, "The
two fold charge for ASLC for the
year is to make it so ASLC really
does represent the students and
really can make changes with the
college. I think those are two
primary goals and in addition I
think another main theme
would be defeating student apa­
thy. I know this freshman class
is particularly involved and
we're hoping we can take that
and instill people with even
more excit.eme nt and enthusi­
asm for changing their school
and for getting projects under­
way. The upperclassmen tend to
be more apathetic and just resign
themselves to the fact that they
can't change anything and we're
really hoping that people don't
just say that but rather say, 'I can
change that and here's how I can
change thaL'" Both Hoesleys be­
lieve that students should make
ASLC work on the changes they
wish to see made. Cody Hoesley
said, "BaSically ASLC kind of
being a voice for student change,
or a voice for the students is the
bottom line."
Barak speaks about war and peace Cannadine
lectures on
British Empire Former Israeli prime
minister Ehud Barak
opened the World Affairs
Council of Oregon's
International Speaker
Series on Oct. 15.
by Sierra Jenkins
Bya twist of luck, at 6:00 on
Oct. 15. I found myself heading
towards Arlene Schnitzer Con­
cert Hall to see Ehud Barak,
former prime minister of Israel.
As I stepped off the bus, I was
anxious about finding my way
and getting there on time; Barak
was scheduled to speak within
ten minutes of my arrival down­
town. I soon found that these
were useless concerns. Police
stood at every corner in a three
block radius of the concert hall.
the streets were closed off, and
the line to get in stretched
around the block. I felt like the
small town girl who does not
know the magnitude of unfold­
ing events. I shimmied around
protesters and cops to slip into
the line. I distracted myself dur­
ing the hour long wait by read­
ing the fliers and pamphlets dis­
seminated by various protesting
organizations , most concerned
with Israel's treatment of the Pal­
estinians and failure to recognize
a Palestinian state. The line was
sucked through the gauntlet of
waving signs, and after a quick
purse search and the soft caress
of the metal wand, we were in.
I had no idea what to expect
as I waited in the upper balcony. In his speech Barak addressed the American war against
terrorism as well sas Arab-Israeli conflicts.
Would Barak speak honestly
about his actions? What exactly
was it that made everyone so ex­
ci ted to see him? Would he tell
people in Portland something
that he would not tell anyone in
other major cities? What would
he even talk about for a couple
of hours?
The head of the World Affairs
Council of Oregon took the
stage, giving a lengthy introduc­
tion highlighting many of
Barak's accomplishments and
fGrmer offices. Finally he fin­
ished and Barak stepped out
from the wings. His stage pres­
ence was immediately evident;
he began his speech by threat­
ening to sing as an alternative to
the canceled opening choir.
Barak's tone was friendly and
open although he used the rhetoric of a politiCian. for the
most part, he spoke in broad
terms about ultimate political
goals. He expressed sympathy
for America after the events of
Sept. 11, and spoke of the con­
flict using Bush's militaristic vo­
cabulary calling the fight against
terrorism the first world war of
the twenty-first century. Barak
said, "We must summon the face
and courage of the greatest gen­
eration of World War n and the
patience and perseverance of
those shown in the Cold War."
As to his own strategy in fight­
ing against terrorism , Barak ad­
vocated dealing with terrorists as
forefathers dealt with pirates.
Every pirate vessel is a target and
is not allowed into the port. Any­
one who harbors terrorists is iso­
lated by the rest of the world. Barak said that he felt that the
free world is in good and stable
hands to deal with this crisis.
Moving into issues more spe­
cific to Israel and Barak's actions
as prime minister, he spoke
about the Camp David summit.
Many of the protestors outside
the concert hall were concerned
with the continuing settlements
in Gaza and West Strip. displac­
ing even more Palestinians.
Barak's response to this criticism
is that Arafat should not be con­
cerned with buildings when they
have been trying to reach a peace
agreement for 18 months. He felt
the two outcomes of the summit
were that the domain in which
an agreement will be made was
defined, and Arafat was un­
masked for what he is in a
bonafide effort to make peace. In
the long term. Israel wants to put
an end to its reign over other
people, but also to shape an Is­
rael that will secure a Jewish
majority. One of the most strik­
ing statements Barak made was,
"It takes two to tango. War can
be imposed by one, but for
peace, you need two."
These were the words that
stuck with me as I returned to
the real world outside of the con­
cert hall. Actions speak louder
than words. Hopefully , world
leaders can come to hear their
own words and be able to trans­
late the truth of abstract to ac­
tion, and maybe the words of a
powerful man from a distant
country can change the ideas of
a small-town girl. by Sierra Jenkins
On Oct. 31, the History De­
partment welcomes Professor
David Cannadine, the Director
of the Institute of Historical
Resarch and a Professor of His­
tory at the University of London.
As the 39th Arthur L.
Throckmorton Lecturer, Profes­
sor Cannadine will discuss
"Ornamentalism: How the Brit­
ish Saw Their Empire." He has
long been a leading authority on
the life, ways, and political ma­
neuvering of the British aristoc­
racy, his book, The Decline and
Fall of the British Aristocracy, is
the definitive study in the field
and winner of the Lionel Trill­
ing Prize. Cannadine's most re­
cent book is a stimulating ex­
amination of the relationship of
class hierarchy to the imperial
en terprise.
Cannadine argues that in rec­
reating the traditional British
hierarchy overseas, the British
were less concerned with race
than with caste distinctions ,
sometimes favoring native rulers
over the criminals, fallen aristo­
crats, and failed professionals. In
reinforCing these hierarchies ,
ornamentalism was integral; fre­
quent and regular rituals con­
veyed sociological visions in an
intricate network of "imperial­
ism as ornamentalism."
David Cannadine's lecture
will begin at 3:15 in Council
Chambers on Oct. 31.
Odober 26, 2001 Pioneer Log 3 Charitable haunted house revamps genre
Organizers of he
Harkness Haunted
House, including LC
alumni Ned Harkness,
promise visitors an
unique, interactive
experience
by Andrew Zahler
You have just walked into a
perfectly normal-looking house
party with four to seven of your
closest friends. Without
warning, the door you entered
through slams shut. A ghastly
stranger leads you up a dimly lit
flight of stairs, where a deranged
old man explains your
potentially life-threatening
situation : somehow, the punch
at this party has become terribly
spiked. And that's when the
zombies attack.
The above vignette illustrates
the experience of a typical
visitor to last year's Harkness
Haunted House in Southeast
Portland, organized by brothers
Ned (a Lewis &: Clark College
alumnus) and Devin Harkness,
and their cousin Reed Harkness .
While haunted house
attractions have long been a

Zombified alumnus Andy
Lilley ('01) lent his talents
to last year's haunted
house, a benefit for the
"No on 9" campaign. facet of Halloween celebrations ,
the Harkness production brings
a revolutionary approach to the
genre. In lieu of peeled grapes,
wet noodles and shticky
sound tracks, the Harkness focus
is on creating an elaborate story
that involves every visitor.
This year, the Harknesses
have switched venues and
themes, setting up in an art­
house near Portland State
University known as PSWhat?
The premise is that of a haunted
circus sideshow , complete with
fortuneteller and an assortment
of creeped-out carnival games. In
a flyer created to solicit support
from local businesses, the
Harknesses assert their mission
statement: "We bring our
community together to create a
huge, scary, mysterious ,
interactive work of art that is fun
for everyone."
The Harknesses rely on a
committed core of friends and
family, creative concepts and the
element of surprise to entertain
visitors. Although these tight­
lipped impresarios are careful to
safeguard their secrets, they did
release the following synopsis of
this year's haunted house to
entice donors: "You enter a dark
tent and encounter a strange
fortune-teller who may not be
telling the whole story. After
being rescued by an unlikely
savior, you find yourselves
drawn into the twists and turns
of a sinister fun-house and an
even more SlTIlster plot
involving-but I've said too
much already."
Audience involvement, the
Harknesses contend, is what
separates their show from the
colossal corporate spectacles put
on by larger organizations.
"We make each group's
experience unique and special,"
Devin Harkness explains. "They
get their own experience-their
own show. The old-school
haunted house was something
you walked through and looked
at. There you're just an
observer."
"It's an interactive adventure
where the group has to
participate in getting themselves
out of the haunted house 'alive'," PHOTOS COURTESY OF HARKNESS . HARKNE SS clo HARKNESS

Ned Harkne -;s elaborates .
In addi'lon to elaborate
performan -.:e and audience
involvement this year's haunted
house will be an aesthetic
experienc e .IS well, featuring
several intri' .ne murals designed
by artists '\\ ho have worked in
the graphiC arts field.
The hilunted Harkness
tradition began when a twelve­
year-old Devin constructed a
tunnel of empty refrigerator boxes in the basement of his
parents' house in Shoreline ,
Wash. Over a decade later,
Devin, Ned, and Reed have
transformed these early
experiments with cardboard into
an art form through a process of
"trial and error," as Reed
Harkness puts it.
The Harknesses honed their
craft in the early 1990s, putting
on haunted houses centered on
a particular theme. In past years, the themes have included an
insane asylum, a wedding from
hell and a haunted hotel. Last
year's haunted house, the first
after a four-year hiatus, revolved
around a zombie house party
theme.
Ever since they began
charging an admission fee, the
Harknesses have donated all
proceeds to charity. Last year's
haunted house benefited the
"No on 9" campaign , run in
opposition to a controversial
ballot measure proposing to ban
all references to homosexual
lifestyles in Oregon schools'
curriculum. This year, the
Harknesses have selected Harry's
Mother, a Southeast Portland
temporary youth shelter, and the
Bicycle Transportation Alliance
to receive haunted house
proceeds.
As the name suggests , the
Harkness Haunted House has
always been a family affair.
Parents , aunts and uncles,
siblings, cousins and friends
have joined efforts over the
years, filling roles ranging from
financiers to actors to crowd
control. This year, the cast of the
Haunted House will include over
30 friends and family members .
The Portland Area will feature
several haunted house
attractions this Halloween , but
the Harkness' are not worried
about competition . According to
Devin Harkness , the unique
interactive focus of the Harkness
Haunted House will draw new
converts as well as repeat visitors
looking for a unique experience .
Referring to the popular series
of children 's books, Devin
Harkness says, "It's a real-life

Only scarier.
Endowment growth attributed to Mooney, boom economy
by David Archer
Like any business, a liberal
arts college needs to make more
money than it spends to survive.
And like any business, more
money generally results in a bet­
ter product. At Lewis &: Clark
College, most of the money used
to pay for operations is derived
from tuition, which partially
explains skyrocketing college
costs of the last decade. When
College President Michael
Mooney assumed his position in
1989, the endowment was val­
ued at roughly 22 million dol­
lars. As of the second quarter
2001 Oune 30), LC's endow­
ment was valued at 138.8 mil­
lion dollars. A portion of the
endowment's increase can be at­
tributed to donations from in­
dividuals and institutions. But a booming stock market accounts
for most of the portfolio 'S gains.
Early in Mooney's tenure, LC's
administration altered the in­
vestment policy from one that
allocated money to a variety of
investments including cash, real
estate and bonds, to one that in­
vested almost all of the endow­
ment in equities (stocks). The
administration reasoned that,
taken over any 25-year period of
the last century, stocks outper­
formed bonds, cash, and any
other major form of investment.
Whether it was excellent fore­
Sight or luck, likely a mix of
both, the change enabled LC to
take full advantage of the Single
largest increase in the history of
US stock markets.
Right now LC invests roughly
97 percent of the endowment in
equities, while the average insti­
tution of higher education's en-
4 Pioneer Log Odober 26, 2001 dowment illvests only 53 per­
cent of their money in equities.
To ensure gruwth and avoid the
fluctuations I 'f everly-capricious
markets, the endowment is in­
vested in a diversity of compa­
nies. Currenlly 28 percent of the
endowment .s invested in stocks
that tend 1.0 have high earnings
growth rate' (most of which are
"tech stocl ,"), and another 26
percent in "value" stocks, which
tend to be larger companies with
stable profit streams.
The genc,ie goal of the invest­
ment polic\ is to beat the Con­
sumerPric:e Index (CPl), a mea­
sure of US Ilflation, by 5 per­
cent, and f, r each specific sec­
tor within in the endowment to
outperform its respective index.
For example, the endowment's
small-cap ~: ocks (companies
worth less th.1n 500 million dol­
lars) shOll I d outperform the Russell 2000, a broad index of
the smallest companies in the US
markets.
Through two quarters of
2001, LC's endowment lost more
than the median endowment,
probably due to the high prqpor­
tion of funds allocated to
"growth-stocks ." The current
economic downturn should not,
however, be cause for immedi­
ate concern to LC. Short term
market declines are inevitable
and accounted for in the invest­
ment policy, as long as the US
economy continues to grow over
the long term the endowmen t
will benefit.
Despite the previous decade's
gains, LC's endowment is still
smaller than comparable schools
of the region. Reed's endowment
is valued at roughly 325 million
dollars, and the University of
Puget Sound's is roughly 180 million dollars. According to
Mooney, LC fulfills the three re­
quirements commonly used as a
measure of a college'S financial
eqUilibrium : maintaining a bal­
anced budget, avoiding deferred
maintenance on buildings, and
maintaining an endowment that
is beating inflation .
"We are a financially stable
institution ," Mooney said, but
"we don't have the running
room" to ignore budgetary re­
strictions . The school has yet to
achieve "financial flexibility ,"
which is considered to be an
endowment worth double the
annual budget. LC's endowment
currently is only 1.75 times
larger than the 80 million dollar
annual budget. Ideally, the ad­
ministration would like an en­
dowment of 400 to 500 million
dollars in order for the College
to function as desired. Ongoing~ctivism @ LC

gotiations with the large Tennes­
see-based PictSweet Corpora­
tion for a fair contract that guar­
antees the largely Hispanic labor
force basic job benefits.
Since PictSweet purchased
the Ventura plant in the 1980s,
the conditions for its workers
have steadily worsened. Wages
are paid per piece, not by hour, and wages have only risen by 3
cents per piece since PictSweet' s
takeover.
The work of picking mush­
rooms is difficult. Pickers spend
long hours in rooms lit only by
the pale glow of their headlamps,
suspended by harnesses from the
ceiling because the stacks of
mushroom beds are layered
eight feet high and the beds are
wet and slippery. They are per­
petually crouched over to cut the
fungi in their hurry to earn live­
able wages. Therefore, many
workers suffer back problems
and eyestrain, but cannot afford
the medical plan the company
currently offers.
The UFW union contract de­
mands a decent wage increase, affordablr medical coverage, a
pension plan, and basic respect
on the JOIl. The workers com­
plain of discrimination and ver­
bal abusl and work with the
knowledge that the managem ent
admittedly cares only about get­
ting the product out on time, not
about the well being of its
workforce.
Pressure at LC is needed to
encourag.· the College's admin­
istration I, I listen to the workers'
needs. A successful boycott of
PictSweCl mushrooms instigated
by the Ul'W in the state of Cali­
fornia hac eliminated all major
buyers in that region, but the
corporati In has sought other
contracts further afield, so the
UFW is looking to expand the boycott across the nation. At LC,
the Bon Appetit food service
joined the boycott in the spring
of 2001, and the Fred Meyer re­
tail chain (whose unilateral pur­
chasing authority is based in the
Portland area) is the next big tar­
get. Since the Bon Appteit cam­
paign, the PictSweet plant 10-cated in Salem has also seen at­
tempts to organize , which have
also been vigorously opposed .
This will doubtless be a continu­
ing struggle, espeCially given the
long fight of Willamette Valley
workers against the Norpak
Handling eorporation for simi­
lar reasons.
Take Back the
Night speaks out
by Jessica Breiman
Tree-sit protests timber sale According to the website
www.iglou.com/tbtn /
history.htm, Take Back the Night
started in Germany in 1973 as a
response to a series of sexual as­
saults, rapes, and murders .
Women were told to stay in their
homes at night, but they refused.
The women marched through
the city with lights and chants,
exploring the dark, dangerous
corners of the city and reclaim­
ing their streets from sexual vio­
lence. come and express themselves on
posters, which were displayed in
the chapel. The activities tradi­
tionally culminate with a meet­
ing in the chapel that includes
student performan ces, a keynote
speaker, and a student speaker.
After the chapel event, par­
ticipants meet outside for the
march. They light candles, pick
up signs, and start chanting. The
march proceeds on a designated
route around campus with stops
for songs, poetry, and speak­
outs .. At each of the stops, a stake
is placed in the ground as a re­
minder that sexual violence is
not acceptable here or else­
where. After the march, survi­
vors, supporters, and others con­
gregate in one of the residence
hall lounges for a speak-out. The
room is dark, and anyone whose
life has been touched by sexual
v.iolence is invited to tell his or
her story in privacy and ano­
nymity. Not a word leaves the
lounge, but every word spoken
is heard and acknowledged with
respect and support by those
who will really listen. by Paul Saunders
If you're an eeo-friendly sort
of person, and you pay attention
to tidbits of news involving en­
vironmental defense, you might
have heard of Eagle Creek (or
maybe not). Either way, here's
the lowdown : Eagle Creek is a
timber sale on the southwestern
slope of Mt. Hood and the site
of an extended direct action
campaign attempting to prevent
logging.
Direct action can take on
many forms, but the raw sense
of the term is any action that
directly affects the intended re­
cipient. In the case of Eagle
Creek, the action is in the form
of tree-sits, and has previously
included multiple road block­
ades. The Eagle Creek sale borders
the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilder­
ness, and contains sections of
old-growth stands of trees, areas
of forest that have never been
logged. Of the original forests
that once covered the Oregon
Cascades , only 3 percent remain
uncut. Native forests provide the
most complex and stable ecosys­
tems possible in the Northwest.
The Eagle Creek watershed also
provides drinking water to
nearly 2 million people in Lake
Oswego, West Linn, and Oregon
City. Clear-cutting of this area
would greatly deteriorate the
water quality available to resi­
dents of these cities. According
to the Watershed AnalYSiS, con­
ducted by the Forest Service it­
self, only 10 million board-feet
of timber per decade could be

October 26, 2001 Pioneer Log 5 Stewart nurse continues to
hauntcampus and ... kill?
The Stewart Nurse, who
first appeared in 1950,
continues to terrorize
College residents.
by Megan Flowers
During the 1950, Stewart Hall
had a full time live-in nurse
where the current RD lives. The
Nurse would be seen throughout
the days walking around the
halls checking on students.
There were keys in her posses­
sion that let her into every room.
Her squeaky nurse shoes could
always be heard up and down the
halls.
During the holidays of 1954
some students remained on cam­
pus as the roads were too bad to
travel home on. One of the re­
maining students was a young
man who became ill. At least, ev­
eryone thought he was sick be­
cause the S t e war t
Nurse was
heard with her
squeaky
shoes
walking up
the hall one
night towards his
room. The other stu­
den ts were used to her
visits with warm soup and
tea. When the boy didn't ap­
pear around the halls for a few "-----I am uncomfortable
divulging any specific
facts, as I fear it will
perpetuate an unac­
ceptable degree of
terror and pandemo­
nium.
Jon Eldridge ----"
days no one questioned it'; they
simply assumed that he was still
sick. The Nurse however , was
gone. gical scalpel was found near his
bed.
It was later revealed that the
Nurse and the dead student had
a possible connection . In the 50s
many students would go up to
Alaska and work on the oilrigs
in order to save enough money
for the school year. The boy had
done just that. The husband of
the Stewart Nurse had been
killed by one of these viSiting
workers. Whether or not the boy
had been directly involved with
the death of the husband has yet
come to light.
As the Stewart Nurse could
not be found the campus soon
fell back into its normal activi­
ties. During the 60s two more
students were mysteriously mur­
dered in their Platt room. Stu­
dents reported having seen an
elderly woman in a w hit e
outfit with
ex­
it in g the
build-
i n g .
Found in
the room
was another
surgical scal-
pel. In 1954 each
nurse's medical bag had come
with six surgical staples.
These scalpels had been dis­
continued in the late 50s. The
scalpel found in the dead girls'
room matched that of the 1954
Stewart Nurse's medical bag. Be­
sides these two findings, there
was no other connection be­
tween the girls and the Stewart
Nurse. These scalpels had been
discontinued in the late 50s. When the boy's roommate re­
turned from holidays he discov­
ered the boy murdered in his
bed. The only clues were that
other students had heard the Two main questions remain

sides the Stewart Nurse? And, if
it was the Nurse, how did she

get into the student's room? The
locks have been changed repeat­
edly and Platt was not even built
during the Nurse's time on cam­
pus.
ConSidering that the Stewart
Nurse was in her forties in 1954
she would have reached the
hundred-year mark these
past years. At this point in
time the Stewart Nurse has
hit every complex. The four
murders follOwing the 60s
all have similar circum­
stances. Three more sur­
gical scalpels
from 1954
at were

scenes and residen ts

white near the rooms of the mur­
dered students.
Jon Eldridge , Dean of Stu­
dents, will only comment that,
"I am uncomfortable divulging
any speCific facts, as 1 fear it will
perpetuate am unacceptable de­
gree of terror and pandemo­
nium." The cold hard fact is this,
there have been sightings in the
last few years and there is one
surgical scal pel left. Mrs. Akin: A tidy
spi rit, but doesn't
care for men
by Jovanna Schussel
Ghost stories are not only
for Halloween; for some resi­
dents at Lewis &: Clark, ghosts
are things that are part of ev­
eryday life in the dorms. This
is the case for current and
former residents of Akin Hall.
Akin is one of the many in­
famous halls on campus that
is rumored to be haunted. The
ghost that inhabits Akin is
friendly, but in the same sense
a bit creepy for anyone who
lives there. Her nickname is
Elise and she is known to be a
very tidy spirit. Last year be­
fore school started, Resident "----It was scary at the
beginning of the
year. When we were
in the bathroom, I
always expected to
see another face in
the mirror. It always
felt like someone
was watching you.
Emily Matlin
former Akin RA ----"
Assistants Emily Matlin and
Tiffany Meier felt her pres­
ence all around them as they
prepared the hall for the resi­
dents. "It was scary at the be­
ginning of the year, because
we were the only ones there.
When we were in the bath­
room, I always expected to
see another face in the mir­
ror. It always felt like some­
one was watching you," said
Matlin.
The Resident Assitents
(RA) also noticed that the
vacuums in their rooms
moved to different places; sometimes the two would
walk into their rooms and find
the vacuums in the middle of
the room.
When Matlin returned to
her room after Thanksgiving
break, all of her shoes had
been lined up in a row at the
foot of her bed. Right before
the other residents moved in,
Matlin and Meier had to check
all the rooms, tum the lights
off and lock the doors. The
next morning some of the
doors were wide open with the
lights on.
The same type of spooky
events happened this year to
the curr.ent RAs during New
Student Orientation. Locked
doors opened and closed on
their own, washing machines
would not work and then sud­
denly turn on, and weird
noises were heard in the pipes
and in the basement. "There
was a table in the basement
that had always been there. I
went downstair s alone at night
[to move the table 1 and as
soon as I moved it I heard a
loud humming noise. Every
time I moved the table it made
that noise," said Usman Ally,
current RA in Akin.
Rumors have circulated
about who the ghost is, but
there has never been a defini­
tive story to explain the mys­
tery. Some rumors suggest the
ghost is a girl who committed
suicide in Akin (although
there is no record of this
occurence) or that it is Mrs.
Akin, the woman who donated
the money to build the hall on
the stipulation that it would be
an all-girls dorm.
Others postulate Mrs. Akin
does not like males, and is
more apt to do things when
males are present, as Ally and
former RA Billy Alexander
found out. Akin is now a co­
ed dorm, and rumor has it that
Ms. Akin is extremely upset.
Spruce joins roster of campus supernatural locales
by Andrew Zahler
On a typical evening, resi­
dents of Spruce Hall at Lewis &:
Clark College may be involved
in any number of activities.
Whether studying, sleeping, or
shacking up, however, Spruce
residents ought to keep in mind
one terrifying pOSSibility : they
may not be alone.
Despite serious investigation,
details surrounding the Nov. 29,
1999, sighting of mysterious
woman at approximately 23:30
hours remain sketchy. In the
"Crime Beat" of the follOwing
week's Pioneer Log, a Campus Safety account of the incident
described an elderly woman,
dressed in white, who was seen
walking through a door in up­
per Spruce. Upon investigation ,
Campus Safety officers discov­
ered that the door was locked,
and led to closet space that had
not been used in years.
Jon Eldridge , Dean of Stu­
dents, has been at the forefront
of investigations into the Sight­
ing. "While no concrete proof
has come to light-despite thor­
ough investigation-it is sur­
mised that the Spruce incident
... may be related to the on-go­
ing pursuit of the elusive
6 Pioneer Log October 26, 2001 'Stewart Nmse,'" Eldridge said.
Accordin.g to Eldridge , the
Stewart Nmse phenomenon,
document ed as far back as 1954,
has ge'nera ted special fi les at
Campus Safety, the Multnomah
County ShClriff's office, and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Eldridge is not at liberty to
divulge fact..; pertaining to these
files. Yet he does offer some gen­
eral characteristics of suspicious
activities of which students
should be wary. Signs of the
nurse could include "an ex­
tremely elde:rly woman dressed
in white (sometimes described
as a nurse's' miform), the sound of her squeaking shoes, and the
sense that something terrible is
about to happen."
Asked how "terrible" this
something could be, Eldridge
offerredno specifics and an omi­
nous warning: "Don't ask ques­
tions you aren't prepared to have
the answer to."
In interviews , current Spruce
residents professed little knowl­
edge of supernatura l occurences
in their hall. One sophomore
resident, speaking on the condi­
tion of anonymity, simply cov­
ered her ears in denial of "any
ghost stories." Several residents
mentioned that the closest thing to supernatura l activity they had
witnessed was the oddity of their
hallmates.
Sophomore ZackJeibmann , a
Spruce resident since Sept. 2000,
described a persistent "tuna fish"
smell in the hall corridors.
Eldridge warns that although
the facts of the case may be hazy,
students across campus should
take certain precautions given
the possibility of supernatural
activity.
"I highly recommend that
students keep their room doors
locked and report any suspicious
activity to Campus Safety," he
said. .I\..

Welcome to the Business: Tragedy Incorporated
by Clifton Fels
The events of September 11
have meant different things to
different people. Some of us
have experienced a renewal of
patriotism, some a renewal of
self. There are those, however,
who have capitalized on the
events to make money and earn
publicity. This ranges from
mass-producing flag-slathered
crap to . .. asking LC alum to
give the school money?
Yes, that's right. The school's
fundraising machine is working
in overdrive to raise money for
the Annual Fund (gifts from
Alumni that help pay for stuff
around here), but this time it's
using September 11 to do it.
In mailings currently being
sent to thousands of Lewis &:
Clark graduates, a letter from
Michael Mooney states, in part,
the following : "In the days since
the terrorist attacks of Septem­
ber 11, the Lewis &: Clark com­
munity has experienced shock,
anger, fear, and grief ... In these
difficult times, the purpose and
value of the liberal arts are re-vealed with particular clarity. ..
It is in this spirit that I make this
annual appeal for your support
... your gift helps Lewis &:
Clark pursue this important
calling.'" Now I
don't want to call
Mooney a charla­
tan--the Annual
Fund is a legiti­
mate and useful
chunk of
change--but
doesn't it seem a
bi t tacky to use
the terrorist at­
tacks in an ap­
peal for money?
The campus has
hosted a forum
and a benefit
concert, granted,
but what "impor­
tant calling" are
we pursuing in relation to Sep­
tember 11 in particular that re­
quires Alumni cash? Despite the
good that comes from a giant,
swelling Annual Fund, I find it
atrocious that we would use this
fundraising technique . But, hey,
whatever works, right? And that's the real problem.
This stuff works. Skilled
fundraising is really the skilled
art of manipulation . If you look
at the size of the endowment pre­
and ost-Michael Moon
presidenc y, it's clear he does in­
deed have a knack for
fundraising , as we have more
money now than ever before.
Therefore , this letter of his is a
reasoned , targeted instrument.
He knows it will work, he's good
at this sort of thing. This kind of emotional appeal, simplifying
things almost to the level of "you
give us money, we do good stuff
that isn't terrorism" is also be­
ing practiced on an even wider
scale.
"----There are those,
however, who have
capitalized on the
events to make
money and earn
pUblicity. This ranges
from mass-producing
flag-slathered crap to
... asking LC alum
to give the school
money? ----"
A senator from Alaska (along
with just about every other Re­
publican) is using the attacks as
a reason why we need drilling in
ANWR, a National Missile De-fense Shield, and increaSingly
curtailed civil liberties. This
kind of behavior is far more in­
sidious than any fundraising
scheme, or any fake charity
group asking for money. This
kind of manipulation forces
people into the position not only
of "you're with us or against us",
but the position of "You're with
the Republicans or you're with
the terrorists ".
The events of September 11,
the Anthrax scare, and our cur­
rent military campaign are com­
plicated and emotional enough.
For anybody to capitalize on
these tragedies for monetary or
political gain is heinous ,
whether it's to build some drills
in a wildlife refuge or whether
you're goal is to raise money
from Alumni. So let's just wait.
Let's wait and see how much of
this money we are raising will go
to help our "important calling."
I'm still curious what this "im­
portant calling" is, but I'm sure
that definition will change when
it comes time to raise money
next year.
Letter to the Editor. What is it about Green?
Chinese Government sources
claim that Falun Gong materi­
als containing Anthrax were sent
to an American company in
Beijing, thereby attempting to
frame Falun Gong as a terrorist
organization . Does this make
sense? What does a peaceful
meditation practice based on
compassion have to do with
Anthrax? Why would anyone
sending Anthrax be foolish
enough to identify himself? Why
is this report coming out now,
when the 3,000 journalists in
Shanghai for the APEC meeting
could be fOCUSing on China's
human rights issues?
Who to believe? The Chinese
government ran over its own
citizens with tanks. It claims
there is no torture in their jails
and labor camps, despite contra­
dictory reports from both the
U.N. and Amnesty International.
Jiang's regime fabricated a self­
immolation incident (clearly
seen whenJanuary 's footage was played in slow motion). It even
legalized a death penalty for ex­
posing the establishment's
crimes. This government tightly
controls its country's media, and
repeatedly refuses international
investigations .
Jiang's current scapegoat is
Falun Gong, a practice that ad­
vocates truthfulness , compas­
sion, and tolerance . Jiang has
labeled Falun Gong's founder, a
two-time Noble Peace Prize
nominee, an "enemy of the
state". In over two years of hor­
rendous persecution , Falun
Gong practitioner s have not pro­
videdJiang with even one act of
violence. Relying on the public'S
ignorance and apathy, however,
Jiang is fervently trying to por­
tray these people as terrorists .
With a little information and a
clear mind one can easily see
what's going on. Who are the real
terrorists?

Pioneer Log October 26, by Aaroln Green
I'm back, ladies and gents,
and like: it or not, it's looking
like rIll here to stay. Now I
know that I prOmised a col­
umn on STDs this week, but
somethl g a bit more pressing
came up that I felt obligated
to share with you. I'm in a di­
lemma, olks, and it's all about
sex with ~our (in this case, my)
ex. We've all (excluding the istry that had always made
things so right between us.
My ex lives 600+ miles
away, so I never thought that
we'd do anything other than
say hello, grab a drink, and go
our separate ways: both
thanking god that the relation­
ship was over. Instead we
reminisced about the good
times we had together and
apolOgized (mostly him, since
I can do no wrong) for all of
majority of the fresh-..--__ -.....,..,---_~---_- _ __,
men, I ;assume), had
those b:reakups with
that ceTtain someone
who, well, was a fabu­
lous lay. Or maybe even
not so fabulous as much
as nice, or sometimes
just reall needed.
Now, I'm usually the
one who ends up hating
most, if ot all, of my
exes, so it's never really
bee~ a R oblem for me '----~~~~--~ ~------'
to not want to shtupp
them evt:r again. My beloved
pattern, however, has failed rqe.
1 recently went out with the
man who (most recently) broke
my hearlJ (on my 21st birthday,
no less) .0 get some of that in­
famous "closure." Several
hours of' unexpected laughs
(and m ny cosmopolitans)
later, however, we found our­
selves responding to that chem-the bad times. I won't go into all
of the details, but I found out
why make-up sex is the best.
Sex with your ex is like a great
drug that you just want all of the
lime. Neither of us wants to be
together at this pOint, and the
sex was to be purely as friends
(sort of like Vikings, you
know?). But here's the catch: sex
with your ex can't work, because there's always feelings in­
volved. Invariably one of you
will want to get back together.
I'm not going to name names,
but if o.ne of us wanted to get
back together, all fingers
would point my way. So now
I'm back where I started: hurt,
confused, and really horny.
I think I'll use this little ex­
perience as another of my in­
famous notes to self: do not
have sex with an ex. The 2
hours of sheer ecstasy (hey, I
warned you that it was fabu­
lous!) aren't worth the days of
pain that follow. My best ad­
vice: if you're considering hav­
ing sex with your ex, try to re­
member all of the things that
led the relationship afoul. 'If
you're hell bent on doing it,
though, talk it out with your
ex and set some really clear
guideline s for both parties.
And if that doesn't work, take
a really cold shower.
Well, I've used up my fair
share of column space this
time, so remember to keep
sending in those questions to
agreen@lclark edu! And as
soon as I finish my investiga­
tive research, I promise to
blow the cover off of those
pesky STD's. Ciao.

But, aside from their pur­
ported educational purpose, there is a difference between
these signs and common graf­
fiti-these are signs, which can
easily be removed when the
event has passed and present
their ideas in a respectful form,
whereas graffiti insists that some
poor schmuck will spend an ex­
tra hour or two cleaning up. Last
Friday, this difference was appar­
ently confused by someone who

Skyline janitors' unionization
only a few years ago, how
quickly we forget. For a time,
students on campus became
aware of t.he vast number of
workers who clean the dorms
and classrooms so that we stu­
dents can learn. For someone
to cover (and continue to cover,
as I'm writing this) the bathroom

activist propaganda written.

It can be refreshing to
worry about things like
freezing to death for a
change. Over Fall Break I
went with nine others on a
College Outdoors back­
packing trip to Zion Na­
tional Park in Utah. I found
myself concerned about
freezing on a regular basis,
since I didn't bring enough
warm layers.
Being very much the na­
tive Californian wuss, 1 am
often cold when not wear­
ing three or four layers at
night. My friends at LC like
to joke about my affinity for
bundling up, but the issue
became far more serious on
my Utah trip. I could
scarcely find enough layers
to keep me warm in my
sleeping bag (and bivy sack
and inner liner) under the
stars in the cold Utah desert.
Going to Zjon reinforced
in me aD understanding that
being out in nature reveals
what truly matters in life. life or death? With survival?
Grades, aSSignments, and study­
ing for tests consume us,' dis­
tracting us from a more funda­
mental reality that underlies our
very existence. Only in separat­
ing ourselves from this college
otherworld does the importance
of physical survival become so
apparent.
How often do we appreciate
the fact that we have a roof over
our head, food to eat, the facili­
ties for sanitation and cleaning,
and enough clothes to wear?
Not Abercrombie and Fitch nec­
essarily, but clothing that pro­
tects our bodies and keeps them
warm? I am the first to admit
that I often take such basic ne­
cessities for granted.
Escaping into the "real
world" reveals a truth like no
other. Natures shoves creation,
life, artd your sense of some
higher beinglpower (if you be­
lieve in such things), right be­
fore our eyes. It connects us to
our basic self, and it is then that
we become most alive.

LC football feeling homesick
by Zach Mann
The Lewis CSt Clark College
football team was on the road for
the second time in as many
weekends , taking on rival
Linfield University. The Pios
battled the roaring Wildcats in
their homecoming game.
The contest, which was diffi­
cult to watch, proved to be the
second straight loss for the Pio's.
Linfield and PLU are two of the
top west coast Division III foot­
ball schools who happen to play
in the Norwest Conference. Los­
ing to them is something that
most teams have become accus­
tomed to.
With 34 seconds remaining in
the 1" half, the Pio's were still
alive in the game. An inspired
Mickey Rosendahl carried the
ball with tenacity and passion,
running over would be tacklers
with stiff arms and jukes taking
the Pio's into Wildcat territory.
Trailing by 14, Anthony
Azadeh fought for a first down
on a crucial third and nine with
precious time ticking off the
clock. His hard earned second
effort resulted in a fumble, end­
ing their promising drive. Af­
ter the turnover , the second
straight in as many possessions
for the Pio's, the Wildcats aired
it out 38 yards for their 35'h point of the half.

for three interceptions and no
touchdowns. Jason Hililcd both
teams with his 140 yards on
eleven catches and Rosendahl
led the Pio's on the ground with
100 yards on 19 rushes with two
touchdowns.
The LC defense was not as
bad as the numbers may suggest.
They pressured the quarter­
backs, caused turnovers, and DB
M.J. Ballinger returned a fumble
for a touchdown . Even the time
of possession was in the favor for
the Pio's, 35 minutes to 25.
Time of possesion did not
matter for Linfield's offense is
based on the big play and they conSistently made them with
touchdown passes of 48, 38, 54,
and 23 yards. Their ground at­
tack was even more effective at
scoring as they scampered to
touchdowns on carries of 1, 2,
4,45, and 39 yards respective ly.
They also distributed the ball
to ten different receivers, limit­
ing the Pio's ability to double
team and cheat towards one
player in particular. All this
added up for a lop-sided loss.
This week, the Pio's return
from their adventures on the
road and reconven e on the
friendly turf of Griswold Sta­
clium where they will take on

LC player profile: Neil Weare Women's
golf news
by Liz Hummer
Neil Weare loves running.
What many sports use as
punishment in practice, Neil
chooses to do out of his own
free will. Is he crazy? No, he's
just a cross-country runner.
And he?s a good one, too,
racing into the Lewis &: Clark
record books as the new fast­
est runner in the 8K race,
with a time of 24 minutes and
30 seconds achieved at the
Willamette Invitational on
October 13. As captain of the
cross-country team, Neil has
also won two other
invitationals and placed in
the top ten in every race this
season.
He looks to be one of the
favorites at Conference this
weekend, October 27, and at
the following Regionals on
November 3, which is the
qualifier for Nationals. If all
continues at the same speedy
pace, Neil has a very good
chance of placing well at the
national level.
Neil, who grew up on
Guam from the age of nine,
has always enjoyed running.
"As young Little League
player, my favorit.e part was
running around the bases,"
Neil recalled. He began run­
ning competitively on a team
in seventh grade, and
emerged as one of the top
middle-distance runners on
the island in the middle of
high school. "When you live
on an island that's only five
miles long, though, running
distances isn't too much fun,"
Neil remarked . Sticking to track competi­
tions, Neil had several opportu­
nities for international compe­
tition hving on Guam. As a jun­
ior in high school, he won the
gold in the 800-meter and the
silver in the 1500-meter races at
the Micronesian Games, a com­
petition between the islands near
Guam. He went on to win the
bronze medal in the 800-meter
race at the South P~dfic Games
in 1999.
Even with these successes
under his belt, Neil maintained,
"When I came here I started out
not being that exceptional, but
quickly worked my way up." In
fact, Neil knew very little about
the cross-country and track pro­
grams when he decided to come
to LC. Not recruited in the tra­
ditional sense, because "Coach
doesn't really spread his web all
the way out to the U.s. territo­
ries," Neil felt he would have a
good opportunity to run at LC,
in the midst of beautiful sur­
roundings and a internationally­
focused academic program.
He joined a men's cross-coun­
try team consisting of mostly
freshman and sophomore run­
ners, all with enormous poten­
tial that has blossomed in these
latet y'ears. Neil said, "It's been
fun to stick with the training
program and see the incredible
improvements ," in both himself
and the team.
Neil thinks that both the
men's and women' s squads have
excellent chances in the upcom­
ing final competitions . The
men's team at its strongest with
several seniors, and the women's
team is full of many young, tal­
ented runners, which Neil be-

lieves could parallel the devel­
opment of the men's team over
the1ast few years. This could not
happen, however, without the
help of Coal h David Fix, whom
Neil calls "all incredible coach,
but moreso, an incredible indi­
vidual"
What h( and other runners
have accomplished through the
guidance of Coach Fix serves as
an example 10 the younger team
members : "Here's what you can
achieve if you have a vision and
are commitled to that 'Vision,"
Neil eiXplained. ._
Neil's vi, ion is not limited to
running, of lourse. He has suc­
ceeded academically and intet·
lectu~llly as well, being recog­
nized as a member of the
Pamplin Society. Neil feels that
the Society "is a good role model
for what can be accomplished"
by any stut! mt, and values the
challenges alld support that have been doled out in equal mea­
sure by his fellow members .
As an International Affairs
major, Neil hopes to work on
Guam or in Washington D. c.,
focused on territorial issues,
a cause very close to home.
He plans to return to the is­
land, in fact, after graduation
to work on the campaign of
RobeTt Underwood, the U.5.
Congressman for Guam.
Neil also plans to train for
the 2004 Summer Olympics,
in which GUam can send one'
man and one woman track
competitor "as' a wild card."
No matter what the outcome ,
let's hope that a runner as tal­
ented as Neil will never be far
from "feeling so powerful and
light on your feet that you
almost feel like your flying."
These are the moments , ac­
cording to Neil, that make
him love running. by John Koehn
After a shining come-from­
behind victory in her first-ever
collegiate tournament in
McMinnevilie on September 17
and 26, Lewis &: Clark freshman
Mari Kotake shot back to back
rounds of 82 for an impressive
final score of 164. This score
lead the Pio's and the rest of the
schools as she earned the presti­
gious "medalist honors" at the
Northwest Conference Women's
Fall Golf Classic, golf coach Tom
Gailbrath said. The tournament
was held October 21-22 at
Tokatee Golf Club in Blue River,
Ore.
Defeating her closest oppo­
nent by a lofty eight strokes,
Kotake wasn't threatened as she
played the back nine. As a team,
the Pioneers finished in second
place behind Linfield. Sopho­
more Rose Williams placed 10th

Andre Williams -Silky
(1998)
The title of Andre Williams'
seminal album Silky means
"soft and glossy like silk, n
which is a very fine, soft or lus­
trous fiber or garment. Such is
the man and such is the album.
Williams' roots are in Detroit,
Mich., or more specifically in
1950's Motown, singing pop
soul tunes and marketing
them to an increasingly diver­
sified audience. Today, Will­
iams is an artist whose work
spans counLry, gospel, experi­
mental, as well as his rhythm
and blues roots. need is satiated frequently or
else he is really looking hard
for a date tonight 'and every
night. Certainly this man
needs a good stiff drink, to
which later songs will attest.
Next, Williams sings about
cars and legal troubles. In
"Bring Me Back My Car
Unstripped" he laments his
stolen car, and in "Car With
the Star" he laments his ille­
gal activities and where they.
have landed him.
We also hear two country
tunes, the unpopular bewail­
ing "Only Black Man in South
DaKota" and the dogged cri­
tique of Western musical val­
ues in "Country &: Western
Song." Then, back to more
love songs, such as "Pussy
Stank," in which he cries "so
does marijuana," "Let Me Put
It In," in which he wants to
engage in vigorous inter­
course, and "Everybody
Knew," in which his woman
cheats on him and everybody
knew but him. by Colleen Welch -------
Last ni:.;ht, after wandering
around C1 creepy warehouse
district In SE Portland , I
stumbled into the funky B
Comple:\ , where my newest
favorite band Phantom Planet
opened kr America Hi Five.
I left befC' .. t.: the feature band
even stepi)ed onto the stage;
their sh,'w couldn't have
topped r:lantom Planet's im­
pressive explOSion of energy
and eccelltricity .
This r xperience was the
culmination of a seqence of
events th" 1 began last year.
late onc night, a friend con­
vinced me to shirk my
responibilities to view what
he called the best comedy of
the nineties, "Rushmor e,"
starringjason Schwartzmann,
among others. After my sec­
ond vie\-, ing of the film, I
knew that my friend was
right; I I Iped the movie and
began SCI luring the web for
signs ofJason Schwartzman.
I soon di~ ~o\lered that jason's
talent is not only limited to
acting; hI is a drummer in a·
band ba~ed in los Angeles
called Phantom Planet. My
search for jason continued as
I boughl their first and only
CD, Phantom Planet is Miss­
ing, pU' out by Geffen Records. Finally, I bought tickets to
see this elusive man in person here
in Portland.
With this background , I ex­
pected Phantom Planet to produce
more of the shallow, pop-alernative
sound that can be found on their
CD. I had developed a minor, amus­
ing crush on the hypnotiC jason
Schwartzman, and I only went to
the show to see him get his drum­
ming groove on. As I suffered
through a truly bad openinng band
called Timber, I scanned the crowd
to see what sort of people listen to
Phantom Planet. All ages were
there, from toddlers to seventh­
grade goobers to drunk forty-year
old women. By the time Phantom
Planet took the stage, about a hun­
dred people had gathered in he
stark, intimate atmosphere of the B
Complex .
My thirst for jason was satisfied
immediately in the performance, as
he jumped on stage and blasted the
skins, sending up a cloud of glitter.
I was quite impressed with jason's
ability. Although I know very little
about drumming , he played with
enthusiasm and force that were dif­
ficult not to enjoy. The rest o·f the
band was also delightful , and I
found myself watching the rest of
them as well. The band was made
up of two guitars, a bass, and of
course, the drums. Although their
musical ability was average at best, watching them was always en­
tertaining . Each member of the
band was enjoying himself, and
their wacky antics kept the au­
dience screaming through the
ten-song set. The lead guitarist
let audience members strum his
guitar while the bassist and the
other guitarist head-butted in
the back-ground . later, the dy­
namic players swapped instru­
ments, jason doing vocals and
the bassist taking the sticks. Fi­
nally, the show ended in Phan­
tom Planet being ambushed by
American Hi Five; the other
band jumped onstage and taped
Phantom Planet's legs together
as they threw rolls of toilet pa­
per on stage and into the audi­
ence.
The charisma of each mem­
ber of Phantom Planet made
their concert great. Their newer
music has taken a positive turn
toward a more edgy, harsh
sound, which sounds more
genuine than their first tunes
did. Going to the concert was a
perfect mid-term week diver­
sion. join me in a couple of
months, when Phantom Planet
is next coming to Portland. Even
if you're not a jason
Schwartzma n fan, I'm sure you'll
be a Phantom Planet fan by the
end of the night. Their energy is
simply irresistable . On this album, we hear
Williams' pain, we hear his
agony and we hear his hope.
The first song, "Agile, Mobile
&: Hostile," is an affirmation
of his place in the music in­
dustry, telling critics and igno­
ramuses alike that he is back
in business and that he is here
to stay. The next two songs, "I
Wanna Be Your Favorite Pair
of Pajamas " and "Bonin',"
capitalize on his particular
sexual relevance and vitali~
exchanging ballad sentimen­
tality with rocking formality. The last song's unconven­
tional rhythm section, blaring
and nearly obnoxious noises
coincide with his beleaguered
b u 0'. Williams cre­
ates an atmosphere of want­
ing, of wanting love, of want­
ing requited love, of wanting
sexual love and of wanting to
move forward into the 21st
century. He wants to embrace
gender equality with meaning­
ful sexual intercourse between
willing and active panners
rather than aged misogynist
wino horny bastards who just
want to get laid. Arts & theatre news briefs
Williams does make a
strong transition into his pre­
vious troubles, lack of finan­
cial support and unsuccessful
love life in "Through It All,"
in which he explains how he
has been through it all and is
now here, doing what he does
best, which is singing the
rhythm and blues.
And he sings best about
what he sings about in the next
song, "Looking Down at You­
Looking Up at Me," which is
about sex. The man must have
