President to be decided in run-off
PHOTOS COURTESY OF GENE WIXSON AND SEAN JACOBS
Gene Wixson Sean Jacobs
No presidential candidate received a majority of votes in the ASLC general election, so
Gene Wixson (with 204 votes) and Sean Jacobs (with 265 votes) will participate in a run-off
election next Tuesday and Wednesday, from noon to 5 pm in front of the library.
The other candidates for president were Alex Brown, Kristen Flickinger, and Barry Joe
Stull. Amy Arnstein was elected VP for Student Organizations; Dan Metcalf was elected
Chief Justice of Peer Review Board; Eli Madrone, Heather Beaman, Brenda Dorrance and
Rebecca Dragul will be next year's Student Representatives (alternately, as Madrone &
Beaman will be going overseas in the fall and spring semesters).
Candace Maynard and Erin Bailey were elected VP for Budget & Finance and VP for
Student Academic Affairs respectively; they each ran uncontested. The OSPIRG referen­
dum passed with 438 votes in favor, 408 votes against (after several recounts by ASLC
President Pia Gilgen). This year, there were 912 total ballots cast (about 49 percent of LC
students), a considerable increase from past years. Last year, 656 ballots were cast (about
35 percent of students) .
Series of debates marks IA Symposium
by Colin Beck and
Kaysie Studdard
This year's International Affairs Sym­
posium, entitled The Power of Fear: Re­
assessing International Terrorism, started
Monday night with some fanfare and
jokes about the SWAT team rumored to
be in the parking lot. Each of this year's
six debates features two ideologically-op­
posed speakers and a moderator, who in
Professor Bob Mandel's words "fans the
flames" of conflict.
The first debate was well attended by
faculty, staff, and students, and President
Michael Mooney opened the Symposium
in person. The two speakers on Monday,
David Kopel of the Cato Institute and
Denise Minor of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, each gave a short lecture
on their position before taking questions
from the moderator and the audience.
The questions addressed ranged from
war as terrorism to the ethics of anti-ter­
rorist legislation.
Denise Minor presented her opinion
that international terrorism is a serious threat, with the example of the World
Trade Center bombing in 1993. Minor's
belief was that terrorism should be com­
bated with a proactive government and
legislative action even if it might curb
some civil rights. Although seemingly
eloquent, Minor was unable to discuss
many speCifics, brushing them aside with
"I am unable to comment on that at this
time." Her evasion left some members
of the audience curious as to what the
FBI is actually doing vis-a-vis terrorism .
David Kopel presented in a polished
manner, reflecting his experience work­
ing with juries in courtrooms . The audi­
ence seemed to appreciate his colorful
examples, but may have been left won­
dering how statistics on bathtub fatali­
ties justify a policy of inaction against
terrorism . Kopel's main argument was
that anti-terrorist efforts could create a
tyrannical government. When asked to
point to current examples of civil rights
infringement, he moved beyond a dis­
cussion of civil rights in Imperial Rome
to talk about the history of United States
narcotics laws since 1911. The attentive audience laughed often and freely, but it
was not always clear whether they were
laughing with him or at him.
Tuesday night's debate between Yonah
Alexander of George Washington Uni­
versity and Richard Ward of the Univer­
sity of Illinois was less of a debate and
more of an academic postulation . While
both speakers raised excellent points
about the nature of terrorism and terror­
ists, they, too, had few specific answers.
However, both were highly informative
and highlighted the growing threat of
domestic terrorism .
The speakers of the Symposium were
impressive in their knowledge of terror­
ism but seemed unable to satisfy the au­
diences' many queries. The speakers did
expand on their topics well, leaving core
issues in' the background. This might be
a calculated move to leave the audience
thirsting for more information and won­
dering, "If these experts cannot answer
our questions, who will be able to?"
Overall, this year's Symposium upholds
its impressive tradition of fine speakers,
student-involvement, and good turnout. Madonna's

ASLC election
conduct
questioned
by Colin Ryono and
Matthias Fripp
The Peer Review Board of Lewis &:
Clark's student government met in an
emergency session the day before spring
break and found that Sean Jacobs, one
of the candidates for ASLC President ,
had taken down a poster of another can­
didate, but dismissed claims that this was
done maliciously or as part of a pattern
of election tampering.
The Peer Review Board (PRB) did
not release the name of the candidate ,
citing the Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA or the Buckley
Amendment), which protects the confi­
dentiality of a student's grades, displinary
files and other academic records. How­
ever,Jacobs' name soon came out in cam­
pus discussion of the case, and his iden­
tity was later confirmed by sources fa­
miliar with the hearing.
On Mar. 17, during the election,
Jacobs was seen taking down a flyer of
another candidate by Bonnie Tompkins,
who is PRB Chair and a member of the
Election Commission . Tompkins
brought this information to Elections
Chair Matt Engebretson, and on Mar. 19,
the Elections Commission met with
Dean of Students Michael Ford to dis­
cuss the issue and how to proceed fairly
with the allegation.
see Election, page 2
Buckley Amendment
The Family Education Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA
or the Buckley Amendment) is
legislation that details students'
rights to access to educational
records and restricts Lewis &
Clark in the release and disclosure
of those records to third parties.
The Family Education Rights
and Privacy Act covers two
groups of Lewis & Clark students:
those currently enrolled at Lewis
& Clark College on either a full­
time or part-time basis, and
former Lewis & Clark students.
Educational records include files,
documents, records, and other
materials regularly maintained by
the College (or a party acting for
the College), which contain infor­
mation directly related to a stu­
dents.
The College should not permit
access to, or release of, educa­
tional records or any personally
identifiable information in them
to third parties without the prior
written consent of the student,
except under specific conditions
outlined in school policies on con­
fidentiality found in the Path­
finder. Peer Review Board
judges election conduct
from Elections, page 1
Ford suggested and Tompkins agreed that
the case be turned over to the Peer Review
Board, as the Elections Commission did not
necessarily have the jurisdiction to determine
the facts of the matter.
The PRB hearing on Mar. 27 was headed
by the new Chief Justice-elect Dan Metcalf,
because Tompkins was serving as a witness.
The Board heard a report by Jacobs, reports by
witnesses, and written statements by the four
other candidates running for President.
Other preSidential candidates have said
that they noticed a pattern of their election
posters being removed and Jacobs' posters ap­
pearing in their place. In an interview this
week, Jacobs responded that his posters also
often disappeared and other candid~tes' post­
ers appeared nearby. He said that it is com­
mon for staff and students to remove posters,
and since he was concentrating more than

uled to be held. Ten passengers set ~il
that day for a three hour tour. To re­
peat, a three hour tour.
VP of SAAB Bianca Miyata and Stu­
dent Representative Matt Engebretson
were renacting the "I'm flying" scene
from "Titanic" when the weather started
getting rough and the tiny ship was
tossed. If not for the courage of the fear­
less ASLC Council, the Minnow would
have been lost. To repeat for empmlSis; :

rescued several days later, howevq, by other candidates on putting up posters, his
naturally showed up more.
The board determined that Jacobs had
removed one poster in what Engebretson re­
ferred to as an exercise of poor judgment. In
the hearing.Jacobs explained his actions, say­
ing that he had thought that the poster was
within the 20-feet "no-campaigning " zone, too
close to the elections table.
Engebretson also said that there was "no
evidence to it being a larger part meant to al­
ter the election," and not enough factual in­
formation to warrant further investigation. He
refused to comment on the statements by the
other candidates or any other rumors regard­
ing the election .
The PRB recommended that the Election
Commission proceed with the runoff between
Jacobs (with 265 votes) and Gene Wixson
(with 204 votes). The runoff will be held next
Tuesday and Wednesday, April 7 and 8, from
noon to 5 pm in front of the library.

Consider candidates' character before run-off
from Kristin M. Flickinger
At the risk of being seen as writing
this letter in sour grapes, as a candidate
who is not in the run-off election, I have
chosen to address the recent happenings
in the race for the office of ASlC Presi­
dent. remove illegally posted signs. The fact
that a candidate partiCipated in such an
action, however, is the least of my con­
cerns.
My second concern lies in the fact that
this candidate received nearly 30% of the
vote from the student body. This is after
malicious practices had occurred against
other candidates, only one of which this
candidate was held responsible for. Fur­
ther actions which targeted the other
candidates most definitely gave one can­
didate an advantage in the election, re­
gardless of his association with these
practices . "-----­
Tampering with an
election is
something that is
unquestionably in
disaccord with all of
these principles, -----" As a candidate, I have a vested inter­
est in this subject. As a student, I demand
an answer for the actions which have
taken place. At a college such as lewis
&: Clark, it is reasonable to expect that
any student who would step forward as
a candidate, seeking the support of the
student body, would act in a manner
completely honorabl e, respectful, and
acceptable with regards to election by­
laws, current ASlC council members,
candidates, opponents, the student body,
and the lC community as a whole. My third concern is the decision
which resulted from a Peer Review Board
hearing concerning this alleged miscon­
duct. The board found the candidate in
question responsible for elections tam­
pering. This decision was a triumph for
the student body. My concern lies in the
fact that the board then made a conscious
decision not to disqualify the candidate
from the race. In addition, the board
made a recommend ation to the Elections
Commission that a run-off be held with­
out an additional primary election. in the run-off race to become student
body president of our school. reward a candidate for cheating. At this
point, it would seem advantageous to
remove other candidates' campaign ma­
terials in future races. In this election,
one candidate did so and received a
chance to participate in the run-off elec­
tion, regardless of the number of votes
received fairly. Tampering with an election is some­
thing that is unquestionabl y in disaccord
with all of these principles .
When I entered into this race, I had
the utmost confidence that the candi­
dates involved would act with integrity.
It was a great shock to me when I found
that one candidate had acted in a way
wholly contradictory to this confidence .
My first concern lies with the actions
in which this candidate engaged. The
action for which the candidate was held
responsible was elections tampering.
This tampering took the form of removal
of another candidate's campaign poster
which was posted legally. Whether or not
the candidate thought that it was posted
legally is irrelevant , as it is the responsi­
bility of the Elections Commission to My fourth concern lies in the fact that
the ASlC Elections Commission decided
to hold a run-off election without hold­
ing an additional primary election. This
leaves 30% of the votes cast for a candi­
date who has since been found respon­
sible of elections tampering . In my mind,
this is not something that is in accor­
dance with elections bylaws, or with the
ethics of many of the people who cast
their initial votes for this candidate . At
this time, this candidate is participating In addition, possibly the most trou­
bling issue is one concerning the disre­
spect for individual candidates, as well
as the elections process as a whole as
expressed through vandalism of cam­
paign materials . Many of the candidates
involved in the ASlC elections experi­
enced vandalism or destruction of cam­
paign posters. In the presidential elec­
tion alone, over 300 signs were removed
illegally. This type of action shows noth­
ing but disrespect for the candidates ,
elections, and the lC community.
As a candidate I feel that I have been
deprived of the opportunity to represent
my student body through a fair election.
As a student, I feel deprived of my right
to vote for the candidate of my choice in
a fair election, by both the candidate who
chose to violate elections bylaws, and
also by ASlC Peer Review Board and
Elections Committee , in their choice to I find it necessary, first of all, to in­
form the student body of the nature of
the events which have transpired sur­
rounding the preSidential elections; sec­
ondly, to encourage the student body to
consider the serious nature of these
events; and lastly, to plead with the stu­
dent body to carefully take into account
the new information before casting votes
for the person who will be next year's
ASlC President.
Please consider the character traits
you would like to see in a president , then
make sure you believe that you cast your
vote for a person who possesses these
traits.
Don't believe all the hype
from Sean Jacobs
I will be succinct and clear in my statement to the
editors and to the students of lewis &: Clark. I thought
that a sign of Kristin Flickinger 'S was posted within
the twenty feet of the poles, and as this is against the
campaigning rules, I removed it because I thought that
Bonnie Watkins and the other individual, who were
collecting votes at the polls, were not enforcing this
policy.
I did this intentionally in clear view of the two poll
collectors, as I wanted to make the point that the policy
was not being enforced . The words "Pick Flick" were
written on the tape which deSignated another point
beyond which posters were not to appear, and from
this I also gathered that the policy was not being en­
forced, as Kristin again was the only one with cam­
paign material in the area.
Instead of asking me what I was dOing, or giving me
a chance to explain, Bonnie qUickly approached
Michael Ford, reporting that she had witnessed a can­
didate removing a sign. This incident, without me
knOwing that I was suspected of anything, was decided
to be brought before the Peer Review Board. Only at
this time, when I had finally been told of what had
transpired behind my back, was I able to explain to the
Peer Review Board the truth of what had happened,
and to dispel the rumors and false assumptions that
brandn "------­
I have no control over rumors
or false allegations ... ----------" had been made.
At this point the board, who had all the facts, in­
cluding my testimony, voted unanimously in favor of
the decision that the incident was a case of poor judg­
ment, in that it was not my place to enforce such a
policy, but that it was an isolated incident, and that I
was innocent of any larger allegations . From here it
was advised that the results of the elections finally be
released, and that this be followed by a two way run­
off. I have no control over rumors or false allegations
by people who may be soured by the outcome of the
votes, but I can advise students to trust the facts and to
use their best judgment in sorting truth from allega­
tion.
I have done a lot for this school, and plan to con­
tinue to advocate the rights of the students as a leader
in this community, one of which most definitely in­
cludes the right to run in an election without having
one's name falsely dragged through the mud. lastly I
would say two things: Don't believe the hype, and two,
VOTE SEAN for PRESIDENT.

http://www.lclark.edu/ -piolog When it comes to safety,
awareness is crucial
commentary by
Emily Christensen
I wish I could agree with one
of my friends who recently ex­
claimed to me, "Lewis &: Clark
is the safest place to be. I can't
imagine feeling threatened
here." Try again, bucko. In the
last week I have been made
aware of several incidents which
would not categorize this cam­
pus, or this city, as an over­
whelmingly friendly place to
live. I am writing this article to
dispel the false sense of security
that we have in our community.
In the last several weeks, a
man who identifies himself as a
part-time LC student has been
spending a lot of time in the
music building. There have
been many incidents reported
by various women who have
been practicing alone in their
small practice rooms and looked
up to see a strange uninvited
man inside their room, block­
ing the door shut. All these
women were very startled to
have their privacy invaded in
such an abrupt way, and several
of these women are too fright­
ened to return to the music
building alone. Many of the
doors in these rooms do not
have locks on the inside of the
door, which makes it difficult
for students to protect them­
selves. Although this man is
supposedly a "friendly, nice
guy," his words do not match his
behavior . Last week this man
was forced to leave when an LC
woman and her mother com­
plained to the administration .
Just in the past three years,
there have been numerous rapes
committed ON CAMPUS which
have not been reported to Cam­
pus Safety. In many cases,
women have been embarrassed
to report the crimes because
they were drunk at the time they were assaulted . Even one rape
committed at LC is a major con­
cern for all of us, but the fact
that there have been several as­
saults just this year indicates a
HUGE problem that is abso­
lutely unacceptable .
During the past few years
there have been numerous re­
ports from women living in the
dorms who have received ob­
scene phone calls from strange
men. This semester those calls
seem to have escalated .
A female student was study­
ing in our very own Watzek Li­
brary last week when several
male PSU students sat down
next to her and began saying
very obscene things to her. She
left crying.
A few years ago, during a
Take Back the Night march
around campus, several male
students pasted pornographic
pictures in their path so the
marchers would walk past
them.
On a more personal level, a
few days ago I tried to use two
blue campus phones that are
located outside the Hartzfeld
dorms. Neither of them were in ART BY AUBREY LYON
working condition . If there was
an emergency or an assault on
campus, there are few reliable
telephones that a person could
depend upon.
Finally, today I rode my bike
downtown in the lovely sun­
shine and a man started to run
after me, saying "Hey baby, will
you give me a ride?"
All of these stories are true,
and all of them happened within
a six-mile radius of where most
of us live. Overall, I do think
that we are lucky to have a rela­
tively safe community, but it is
never okay to assume that we
are always safe wherever we are.
It is our right as students (and
faculty, for that matter), to know
what is going on in our sur­
roundings. If you hear any other
stories about unsafe situations
on campus or elsewhere, tell
your friends, announce them to
your classes, write an article,
and report them to Campus
Safety. Campus Safety does want
to know about these situations ,
and they need to know about
what is going on so that they can
help us stay safe. Knowledge is
power. Protect yourselves . Since life isn't fair,
candle policy stands
commentary by Antonia Giedwoyn
The smell of smoke wakes me from my deep slumber and
I scramble to get out of my room safely. As I throw my door
open, a thick cloud of smoke engulfs my room, rendering me
paralyzed with fear. Coughing, choking, gasping for air, I
grope my way down the murky hallway just to be greeted by
the enemy: gargantuan, greedy flames of fire. Horror-stricken ,
I flee in the opposite direction, but there too, find myself
doomed. Just as I begin to feel the heat of the encroaching
flames, I awake from the nightmare in a cold sweat. Alright,
actually this is not so much a recurring nightmare as much
as it is the one paranoia I have about living in the residence
halls.
Last Monday, this paranoia was re-affirmed after hearing
of a minor fire in the Howard Residence Hall. Granted, no
one was killed, burnt, or injured in this real-life fire . Granted
also, I may have sounded melodramatic in describing my
above fear. However , Monday'S fire bears testament that my
concern is not unfounded nor irrational. Accidental fires are
terribly easy to "start," but perhaps more importantly, equally
easy to prevent. Believe it or not, that is what the candle pro­
hibition policy aims to do-essentially protect us from our
own carelessness, or for that matter, the carelessness of oth­
ers. I, for one, support the infamous policy, and I'm not
ashamed to admit it.
In an ideal world, of course, fires and assorted disasters
would not occur. However, as the price of tuition indicates,
our world is far from perfect -very far. I haven't spoken with
the residents in whose room the fire occurred, but from what
I've heard, they were simply violating the policy for the same
reason that most residents do: because they want to, because
they feel like it, because they don't like the policy and as
long as they can get away with it (or so they think), they
don't care about another silly rule. Well, everyone should care
because fires endanger actual lives.
As far as I know, the story took this form: residents light
candle, residents leave burning candle in the room unat­
tended, residents' calendar falls off the wall and onto the
candle thus catching fire, fire trucks come and save the day,
or in this case, night.
Sure, it would be nice to burn candles wherever we want,
but when students live in the community of a residence hall,
the rules change and a need for individual responsibility in­
creases, making candle burning a dumb, potentially deadly
idea. What happened to respect, or common sense?
Burn candles in your own personal house and that's great;
if anything should happen, the owner faces the consequences.
In a residence hall however, should we all have to risk burn­
ing to death just to indulge one or two students' fancies?
Sometimes fire alarms fail to work, and sometimes deep
sleepers sleep through loud alarms, sometimes the firefighters
arrive once it's too late; what then? I shudder to imagine the
results.
Letters to the editor
Comments in story pertaining to
Hemp Club need clarification
As Coordinator of the Lewis & Clark Hemp Club I was
quoted in the March 13 Pioneer Log as saying the recent
refusal of ASLC to grant our group a charter for 98-99 was
"ridiculous and absurd" and "a gross miscarriage of justice."
I stand by those statements but wish to clarify them. I un­
derstand the LC Hemp Club was denied a 98-99 ASLC char­
ter because the committee voted against it.
What I fail to understand is the criteria used to deny the
club's charter, in spite of the communications I've had with
ASLC representa tives, and why there is no review process to
appeal decisions like the one made rejecting the LC Hemp

II Club Charter Application.
I was unable to participate in the chartering process for
97 -98 because I am a transfer student and was not enrolled
last spring when club charters and budgets were decided
on. As a new LC student, I sought to start a club here be­
cause I knew people were interested in the issues and I knew
how important student organizations can be. As a result of
my library research and knowledge of the history of can­
nabis hemp and marijuana laws I've spoken at events spon­
sored by student hemp clubs. I chartered the Portland Com­
munity College Hemp Club while a student there. I spoke at
the Marijuana Activists Regional Conference held here at
Lewis & Clark in January 1990. These events and my expo­
sure to information they provided and people I met have
G~+e\'\ \o..~
\ TtA."'e.. I inspired me to conduct research and share it both in and out
of academic settings.
Students here are interested in cannabis issues because
of their economic , social and legal importance and they are
being served by the LC Hemp Club, something that ASLC
should embrace and support. The information the club has
on it's reserve shelf has been used by students in their
coursework because the issues are relevant and timely and
the library collection of information on the subj.ect is mini­
mal. A search of the Watzek Library catalog under the sub­
ject
"hemp" reveals that there are fewer than a ten articles
available, only at the Law School. On the other hand, typ­
ing "Hemp Club" as a course title or professor in the catalog'S
reserves search function yields the call number of the file
of 59 archival documents from magazines, government
agencies and trade and scientific journals.
The club plans on increasing the reserve shelf collec­
tion, screening films regarding the issues and wants to host
more expert speakers. Yet ASLC says "No charter. No bud­
get. No appeal."
The ballot measures regarding cannabis will be before
Oregon voters this November. The decisions made will
impact all of our lives. The issues the LC Hemp Club seeks
to address will be in the public focus and the demand for
information the LC Hemp Club can provide will increase.
It is a shame that ASLC will not facilitate that important
exchange of ideas. It is an outrage ASLC, in one Single,
unreviewable decision, has taken that opportunity away
from student and the greater community .

Lewis & Clark Hemp Club Coordinator Spring break trips offer outlets for assistance
by Michael Folland
lewis &: Clark provided sev­
eral adventurous trips for stu­
dents during spring break. Sev­
eral groups participated in ac­
tivities like exploring the can­
yons of southern Utah, con­
structing a duplex in Bend, Ore.,
doing biology research on the
beautiful island of Santa Cruz,
and working on AIDS projects
in San Francisco.
College Outdoors led a back­
packing trip to Utah's
Canyonlands where the group
of eleven students often felt
dwarfed by the high canyon
walls and were awestruck by its
beauty. Some of the walls con­
tained Indian markings . Jenny
Hofftra, a freshman backpacker,
said, "I was amazed and deeply
intrigued by the fact that the
rock art had sustained the test
of time."
The group backpacked a few
miles each day and explored the
area on day hikes. Erik Knight
said, "The way the arches, can­
yons, and rivers combined to­
gether into one gorgeous scen­
ery made Canyonlands one of
the greatest places I'd ever been
to!" about each other just by telling
stories and talking about culture
and customs.
Another group of students
traveled to Bend where they
were able to get in a good mix­
ture of work and play. Kelly
Hayden, a freshman, said, "We
were able to help out during the
day, but then we had a chance
to explore Bend, which is a
beautiful area."
The trip was organized by
lC's Cen ter for Service and
Work (CSaW). The students'
goal was to help construct a
duplex for low-income hOUSing.
The students made sidewalks ,
built fences, and plastered walls.
Colleen McGraw said, "We
learned there is a lot more that
goes into bUilding a house than
just putting up its walls." Gene
Wixson, one of the leaders on
the trip, said the group worked
hard to finish the projects
quickly. The group of thirteen
people, ten of whom were
women, were cooperative and
worked well together. to eat a lot of good food after
building up a big appetite dur­
ing the day. According to
McGraw, the group ate 2 112
pounds of M&Ms in one night
and spent $30 dollars on "gorp."
A group of eleven students
and Kristin Richman, CSaW's
community service coordinator,
rode down to San Francisco
during spring break, where they
were involved with several AIDS
projects. The group was first
trained by the Shanti organiza­
tion which provides services to
people who have HIV
Two of the days were spent
working for Project Open Hand.
This organization gives nutri­
tional advice and free food to
people who have the HIV virus.
The students helped clients
shop for healthy food at a gro­
cery store. Throughout the rest
of the week, the group also
worked at the Tenderloin Aids
Resource Center and GIGI, a
support center for
transgendered individuals living
with HlY, and they worked on
the Names quilt project. They
also attended panels at the tenth
annual AIDS update conference.

Students get specifi<; with self-designed majors
by Jessica Roberts
So you came to college to look at the sociopolitical
implications of capitalism on Burmese ceramic produc­
tion, and you're stuck in classes on historical economic
theory and European art you couldn't care less about.
Or maybe you're fascinated by the ways in which
sexism influences funding for medical research, but
don't want to have to decide between Biology, Political
Science, and Gender Studies. After all, you pay enough
to go to college, can't you have it your way? The an­
swer is a resounding yes-provided you're willing to
commit to the time and work needed to make it hap­
pen.
With only a handful of graduating seniors (four to
six each year) the student-designed major program may
be one of lC's best kept secrets.
Stephanie Arnold is both head of the Theatre De­
partment and chair of the Honors Subcommittee, which
is responsible for student-designed majors. She points
out that while the program isn't for everyone , it is
an option which allows for a huge amount of flex­
ibility for motivated students who have a vision
they are committed to reaching which falls out-
side of the traditional curriculum .
She states that "there are always cross-disciplin­
ary approaches to subject matter, and the well­
prepared student may have a new way of integrat­
ing material that we can't support through the tra­
ditional majors-the program exists to allow stu­
dents to pursue their interests with the appropri­
ate flexibility and originalit y."
The student who wants to design a major must
be prepared to begin early and work hard. Stu­
dents must have filed self-designed major propos­
als by the beginning of their junior year, so work
with faculty advisers has to begin at latest during
sophomore year.
The major proposal must include a plan of
study and a justification for the necessity and
depth of the major, as well as a panel of three fac­
ulty advisers in the appropriate areas.
According to Professor Arnold, "a self-deSigned
major is not for the student who would like to be
doing a little bit of several different areas-you have
6 Pioneer Log April 3, 1998 to find subjects that really illuminate each other, so
that by studying the one, you really do understand the
other better."
Some student-designed majors become more or less
established, giving students ideas and precedents for
their own proposals .
Environmental Studies and latin American Studies
were popular self-designed majors before they were
accepted into the formallC curriculum, and in recent
years several students have majored in Art Adminis­
tration, involving Art, Business, and Economics.
Other self-designed majors are more specialized and
personal, such as Creating Fiction (involving English,
SoAn, and Theatre), or Gender and Performance (Mu­
sic, SoAn, and Theatre).
Finally, Professor Arnold emphasizes both the diffi­
culty and potential rewards of this nontraditional path:
"You need to have a good long talk with yourself about
whether you're willing to assume this kind of respon-"------------------
You have to find subjects that really
illuminate each other, so that by
studying the one, you really do
understand the other better.
Professor Stephanie Arnold ------------------" sibility for your undergraduate education, because
you're really spending the resources of your education
in a way in which you make more choices .. .I think
the results can be really quite profound, and I think
that the students who do pursue this path find it very
satisfying and stimulating, but it's also a little bit like
leaping off a cliff."
For students who are willing to leap into uncharted
territory in order to have it their way, they may find
themselves soaring.

leader on the trip, said, "Hearing per­
sonal narratives of how the disease has
impacted their lives was incredibly pow­
erful. "
Through the group's work, they ob­
served that transgendered and African­
American communities were under-rep­
resented. Often AIDS education is tar­
geted at middle class, gay, white males.
Women and African-American males are
two groups whose rate of HIV infection
is on the rise but are often excluded from
the picture.
Accorcling to Pierucci, one young man
who is HIV positive became close to the group and taught them a lot about liv­
ing with HlV He said, "A lot of people
are getting rich off this disease both in
the pharmaceutical industry and in the
larger support organizations. I have a lot
of hope, but I think we should always
be paying close attention to this."
Ten students led by joe Yuska, the
director of College Outdoors, traveled to
Santa Cruz Island. The group took a park
service boat over to the island which is
only 96 square miles. There are only 4
biologists who live permanently on the
island.
The students conducted biology re­
search by counting the numbers, vari­
ety, and heights of plants. In addition, they learned to identify the plants by
their Latin names.
The students camped out on the is­
land and when they were not research­
ing, they were backpacking, hiking, and
4-wheeling in jeeps along the ridges.
Evan-Holt said, "It was an awesome trip
because we went to a place that few
people see and were able to do biology
work at the same time."
One day, while they were riding in the
jeeps, there was a huge storm on the is­
land. Holt said he felt like he was atju­
rassic Park. Instead of dinosaurs, how­
ever, pigs inhabited the island. The group
went pig hunting because the island is
being overtaken by the number of pigs. When the students had completed
their work at the end of the week, six
airplanes flew the students off of the is­
land and back to the mainland .
By traveling to unusual places and
exploring new ideas, students continued
their education off of the LC campus
over spring break. Pierucci gave some
insight into her experience in San Fran­
cisco which seems to reflect how other
students felt about their trips. Pierucci
said, "All of us had moments where our
boundaries were pushed, where we were
out of our comfort zones. Those are the
types of experiences that really enrich
people, helps them to grow, and chal­
lenge them."
Flighty airline fumbles student's Maui vacation
by Michael Folland
Lindsay Rocks, a freshman , looked
forward to traveling to Maui, Hawaii,
with her family for spring break. In Maui,
her grandparents would celebrate their
fiftieth wedding anniversary .
Unfortunately , after leaving for the
airport the morning of Mar. 21, Rocks
quickly found herself in a living night­
mare involving numerous airplanes,
drunk men, bomb threats, and Elvis im­
personators .
Her taxi cab, which was supposed to
pick her up at 5 am, was late and that
was just the,beginning of a long journey
to MauL When she finally made it to the
airport, she checked in-or at least at­
tempted to.
The ticketer gave her the astonishing
news that her flight to Los Angeles, with
Reno Airlines, did not exist. The flight
was canceled several months ago, but she
had mistakenly been booked on the
flight. The ticketer spent half an hour try­
ing to find a flight to L.A. so that Rocks
would be able to catch her flight to Maui
with her family. Although she was able
to get on a flight which eventually took
her to L.A., she missed her original flight
to MauL
The ticketer attempted to reschedule
her flight with Delta to Maui, but all of
the flights were full. The ticketer bravely
hacked into Delta's computers and
scheduled Rocks on a flight to MauL
Rocks qUickly hurried to her gate. She
knew she would have to change flights
several times before reaching L.A., but
she did not realize the extent of the dam­
age done. The first flight ended up in
Reno, Nevada.
After getting off the airplane, Rocks
saw several strange people including an
Elvis impersonator whose girlfriend was
a show girl as well as an elderly woman
with a blue mohawk passing out quar­
ters for people who were there to gamble
at the slot machines. When Rocks arrived at the terminal
for her next flight, she witnessed a dis­
turbing scene consisting of thirty drunk
middle-aged businessmen in various
awkward bodily contortions as they
competed in a game of Twister. One o(
the drunk men joked that he hoped the
bomb in his suitcase would not go off.
The entire plane had to be evacuated for
a bomb search. Five of the men, includ­
ing the man who made the joke and four
others who laughed at him, were ar­
rested.
No bombs were found on the plane
and the flight, which ended up in San
jose, took off. When the plane landed,
Rocks only had one more flight to sur­
vive before she could get to L.A. and she
was able to do so with minimal incon­
venience. When Rocks reached the air­
port in L.A., however, she discovered
that she was at terminal three and needed
to be at terminal five, on the other side
of the horseshoe shaped airport.
Rocks desperately clam­
bered over two parking ga­
rages and ran over a highway
in order to get to her gate on
time. The she discovered
that Delta Airlines would not
give her a ticket because the
flight, which had been
overbooked because of the
hacking job done by the
Reno Airline ticketer, was
full.
After showing the agent
all of the cities she had been
through just to arrive at
LAX, Delta let her on the
flight. Rocks was the last per­
son to board the plane, but PO". .. a 1400CI

Flight problems ensued, however and
the engine of the airplane had to be over­
hauled for 45 minutes.
Rocks said, "At this point, I was com­
pletely stressed out and even thought
about asking the person I was sitting next
to if he would buy me a drink."
The flight was going to Honolulu and
Rocks would have to take one more flight
from Honolulu to MauL Rocks realized
the flight wouldn't land in time in order
for her to catch her flight from Hono­
lulu to Maui, which was the last flight of
the night.
Fortunately, the flight was held up for
the benefit of other passengers . Rocks
discovered that she did not have her
ticket to Maui because in L.A., when she
had checked in, the ticketer accidentally
took it from her.
After begging a Delta worker to let her
on and getting sympathy by explaining
that she was trying to reach her family
to celebrate their grandparents' fiftieth
wedding anniversary , she was able to get
on the flight.
She reached Maui only three hours
later than her original flight. After call­
ing her parents at the hotel, she was
picked up and reunited with her family.
Her parents were extremely worried
about her and her mother's eyes flowed
with tears of happiness when they were
finally united.
Rocks said, "My grandpa said I was
very brave. But, the moral of the story
is: if I had called the airline a couple of
days before to confirm my flight, I could
have rescheduled my flight to Los Ange­
les and there wouldn't have been a prob­
lem."

Cultural phenomenon Madonna shines again
by Andy Holder
A few weeks ago we were asked to
review the titillating new Madonna CD
Ray of Light for the Pioneer Log, and be­
ing an avid listener, we decided to give
it a go. (Please pardon our use of the
"royal we.") Since the album's debut,
we've been listening carefully to what
other people have to say about it, and
we have collected a delightful assortment
of quotes, all of them absolutely accu­
rate: "What a dreadful piece of crap!"
"Different, but still so Madonna." "Ma­
donna does electronica? More like Ma­
donna falls flat on her face." "Fabulous.
Absolutely fabulous!"
Delightful quotes.
How could we, a Madonna fan, a
drooling Madonna fan for that matter,
like that batch of quotes, some of which
are rather nasty? Well, you see, it goes
something like this. It's no secret that
Madonna has never been a great singer.
Sure, she can belt out "Don't Cry for Me
Argentina ," but Aretha Franklin she is not. It is also no secret that Madonna has
never been a fantastic musician. "Express
YourseIr' was great, but it didn't exactly
redefine anyone's notion of harmonic
structure . Her new album, though dif­
ferent, is no departure from the norm.
The same baby-doll sing-song voice
floats across lavish backdrops con­
structed by noted electronica guru Will­
iam Orbit. As usual, some of the tunes are quite
catchy. "Frozen," "Ray of Light," and
"Candy Perfume Girl" come to mind, but
others don't quite have the singalong
quality the best of Madonna always does.
Think Bjork gets sentimental.
But we absolutely love this album,
and do you want to know why? Its not
her voice, mUSicianship, or marvelous
new-space-girl makeover that gets us all
hot and bothered, it's Madonna the phe­
nomenon . Think of Madonna as a sort
of giant thresher, gobbling up pop cul­
ture, giving it a good kick in the pants,
and spitting it back out all neatly
bundled with Madonna t wine.
She plays with the relationship of her
music to its societal context. In the early
eighties she repackaged bubble gum
girlie pop, in the early nineties it was
perverted sex, now it is end-of-the-mil­
lennium electronic pop. It isn't her prod­
uct that's impressive, it's that she can re­
package and recontextualize anything ,
and in that respect her new album is an
incredible triumph. It's high time people begin to realize
that good music doesn't necessarily in­
volve a well-played instrument, a com­
plex and intellectually stimulating ar­
rangement of notes, or finely crafted lyr­
ics.
Music can also be "good" simply by
virtue of the ideas that stand behind it.
And Madonna, however popular or ra­
dio-friendly, defines herself as a mem­
ber of music's avant garde by almost com­
pletely investing the value of her music
in the idea of it, the threshing process
described above.
But we digress. Rush out and buy the
album Ray of Light if you are a diehard
Madonna fan like ourselves , or simply
want to experiment with something
other than the acoustic "I have a social
conscience " complaint rock that seems
to have invaded college campuses across
the nation. If, on the other hand, you
are content with your acoustic "I have a
social conscience " complaint rock,
please, don't trouble your pretty little
head with Madonna 's new album.
Clinton campaign dramatization stirs the soul
by Marianna Ritchey
Primary Co/­
Drs swept the
country away in
1992 with its in­
Sightful yet
slightly ficti­
tious view of Bill
Clinton's rise to
the top. The.
book, written by Movie Columnist
Anonymous
(which surely didn't hurt its appeal to a
curious public), follows a southern gov­
ernor, his wife and their entourage of
staff, advisers and campaign managers
as they make a bid for the u.s. presi­
dency. What's great about the book, and
what broadened its appeal, is that it tech­
nically is fiction. No one in the book has
a real-life name. You can read it and say,
"This Jack Stanton character is exactly
like Bill Clinton," and indeed the book
is extremely obvious in its depictions of real-life people, but it's so much more
fun than yet another dry political book
about the preSident and his little foibles.
Now they've made a movie. And the
movie is very good. John Travolta plays
Stanton, and his Clinton impression is
excellent- even down to the scratchy
voice and accent. Emma Thompson is
his better half, Susan, who embellishes
on Hillary's character and is obviously
the brains of the outfit. Performances
from Kathy Bates, Adrian Lester, and
Billy Bob Thornton of Sling Blade fame
create a rich tapestry that add to the
drama of Stanton's campaign.
Jack Stanton is somewhat of an
enigma. To all appearances , he's just an­
other sweet-talking politician who has
some problems with womanizing . But he
has disturbing moments of brilliance. At
Henry's (Lester's) first meeting with him,
Stanton is talking to a group of illiterate
adults who cause him to genUinely weep
with their bravery and sad stories. He
then tells an inspirational anecdote from

make people trust him, then continually
abuses that power by breaking promises ,
cheating on his dedicated wife and mak­
ing a general nuisance of himself by
throwing temper tantrums . At one point
Susan is forced to throw a bunch of keys
at his head. At times a powerful speaker
and an amazing people person, Stanton
is also remarkably childish and unaware
of the consequences of his actions.
Thompson gives one of the best per­
formances of the film. She perfectly con­
veys the mixture of strength , intelli­
gence, heartache , and anger necessary to
be a partner to a man like Jack. Thornton
is also a delight, playing aJames Carville­
esque political adviser who is wont to
go on "Momma-thons " and cry about his
mother at barbecue joints.
Henry, though, is the focus of the
movie. He provides the vehicle that il­
lustrates innocent , naive trust turning to disillusionment at the hands of a man
who is, after all, just a man. The film is
great in many ways. It gets the viewer a
little closer to what actually goes on in a
political campaign . It makes you think
about our leaders as people, with fami­
lies and weight problems just like the rest
of us. It shows you Clinton in all his
glory, neither a great guy nor a terribly
bad guy-just a guy with a gift for pub­

www.kaplan.com Familiar faces present fresh, lively comedy
by Josh Berezin
You might not expect to find comedy,
nudity, and artistic angst together on the
same stage, but each has a role in CoHo
Productions' latest, The Monogamist.
The play follows the marriage (or lack
thereoO of middle-aged couple Dennis
(Grant Byington) and Susan (Marilyn
Stacey). Their relationship is disrupted
repeatedly by their college-aged lovers,
the lightheaded but idealistic Sky, played
by LC student Megan Harris, and Repub­
lican womanizer Tim, played by LC
alumnus Chris Stack.
Dennis and Susan have been together
for almost sixteen years, although they
finally married only six months before
the start of the play. Susan is a professor
at Princeton University; Dennis discov­
ers her in bed with Tim, a student of hers;
madness ensues.
Well, not exactly madness. The script
addresses baby boomers' lack of sponta­
neity, personified by Dennis, the strug­
gling poet. He is the monogamist of the
play's title, whose artistic transformation
is closely linked to his sexual transfor­
mation. As he experiments with relation­
ships outside his marriage , his art finds
new media and modes of expression.
Although he is not more successful in
this new realm, Dennis finds that he can The Monogamist

never go back to his old persona; the
world has moved on.
At least, that's what I think the play is
about. It's easy to lose the more serious
undertones of the play in all the sex and
hilarity. Solid performances are delivered
by all the actors, however. It would be
easy to lapse into fiat, stereotypical rep­
resentations, especially with the younger
characters, but the actors generally man­
age to maintain depth in their roles.
The actors make strong choices
throughout the play that keep the audi­
ence paying attention. After Tim breaks
up Dennis's marriage, he tries to connect
with him on a basic man-to-man level,
very unsuccessfully. That Tim could look PHOTO COURTESY COHO PRODUCTIONS

at Dennis as a role model despite sleep­
ing with his wife is ridiculous , and the
balance of Dennis's anger and Tim's naive
optimism works very well.
The strong liberal bent of the script
is very present in this production. If
you're ultra-right wing, you'll be of­
fended throughout the entire play. It's a
little racy. But if you're the typical LC student, you'll enjoy the East Coast lib­
eralism the play is framed in.
The Lewis &: Clark connection of this
play is multi-faceted . Besides actors Har­
ris and Stack, the play is directed by
former LC professor Edgar Reynolds,
and during the March performances, the
role of Tim was played by LC student
Jacob Blumer.

tertainment me-
dia-who or what will be the Next Big
Thing? John Lennon frequently com­
mented on the notion of the NBT, and
who else was better qualified to do so?
Lennon himself was a member of that
cultural cadre for a large part of his early
adulthood . (NBTs, after a life span of a
couple of years, disappear or move on
to the next level-Cultural Icon.)
When I look back at the past decade, the NBT that looms over all others is the
musical phenomena "grunge." Interest­
ingly enough, the most recent NBT to
comment adeptly on the nature of the
Beast was Kurt Cobain. Like Lennon, he
was both fascinated and disgusted by
fame, but, unlike Lennon , his tolerance
for being in the limelight was pretty mea­
ger. Therefore, four years ago this month,
he effectively ceased being the living rep­
resentation of the Next Big Thing by
means of a shotgun. I wonder if he was
aware that the very act of killing himself
would only promote him past the next
level to that of Cultural Martyr. (Ironi­
cally, the same promotion was given to
Lennon in December 1980, but his in­
stigation of the act was considerably less
dramatic than that of Cobain.)
The rise and fall of grunge, ten years
from now, will be viewed much the same

possibly disco. The lack of direct involve­
ment will either make the youth of 2008
look upon the early 1990s with disdain,
horror, ironic humor, or genuine long­
ing for that most troublesome of recent
pasts -the Age That Never Existed
(think about how a large number of
people currently view the 1960s). So,
with a less sentimental or biased perspec­
tive, I think one can pinpoint the exact
moments (there were two) when grunge
"officially" began. The first was when
Nirvana signed to the record company
DGC, and the second was when
Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" de­
buted on MTY. Interestingly enough, the
death of grunge can also be pinpointed ,
but this time on three separate occasions
involVing three separate artists (deaths
tend to be messier than births, after all).
First, the suicide of Cobain in April
1994 provided a fitting statement for the
collapse of the musical status quo. Much
like his 1991 statement, "Here we are
now, entertain us," his death Signaled the
advent of a new generation and con­
sumer demographic (it still amazes me
how qUickly Bon Jovi and Def Leppard
vanished from the airwaves); his coup de
grdce that spring proved that he was the
master of the cultural metaphor . How
does the Next Big Thing end? It is killed,
for lack of a better term, by the same
media that created it. What Cobain did
was, literally, kill his role in the scheme
of things, removing one of the life forces
of what Time called "The Seattle Sound."
Second, the major label release of the
eponymous album by Seattle's Presidents
of the United States of America. These
guys were the anti-Kurts with Dr.
Demento lyrics about kitties and boll
weevils and grunge-pop played on mu­
tant basses and guitars. The folks old
enough to still care about such things
claimed that they were the death of the
all things Seattle, while the kids who
were too young to either enjoy Nirvana
or care, thought the Presidents were the
be-all and end-all. How else does a band
like that go multi-platinum? Third, the final nail in the proverbial
coffin of grunge was hammered in the
fall of 1996, with the release of Pearl
J~m's No Code' album. The grunge band
who played the Beatles to Nirvana's
Stones (by acceSSibility standards) re­
leased its first true flop with that record,
It's telling when you consider the sales
figures -Pearl Jam's previous album,
Vitalogy, sold seven million copies in its
initial run from 1994-5, while No Code
sold less than a million copies during the
run of 1996-7. An even more interesting
twist is the reversal between Nirvana and
Pearl Jam on the comparison made ear­
lier in this paragraph . Nirvana, albeit
forcibly, quit while they were ahead and
had some integrity, while Pearl Jam are
still hitting the stadiums and releasing
albums when better heads should pre­
vail.
Going by the date of grunge's death
in 1996, it's been almost two years since
the last Next Big Thing. Hence, our prob­
lem: who or what will be the Next Big
Thing? The Spice Girls and Hanson can
be discounted for the rather blatantly
short life span (both culturally and lit­
erally) that both of these groups had. Part
of me wants to say it's rap artists like
Puffy Combs and the Wu-Tang Clan.
They certainly have the white middle­
class market that makes these things
happen. However , the all-crucial media
cooperation isn't really there on this one.
(For the record, I am not trying to make
an insinuation on race and class; that is
for another column altogether.) The
media themselves tried last year to deem
electronic music the NBT. but the pub­
lic didn't bite with as much vigor as is
needed for such things. How about Lilith
Fair and female singer-songwriters? Un­
fortunately that's the wrong age-group .
(NBTs are, generally, determined by the
16-24 crowd. Lilith and its ilk are, for
the most part, in the so-called AAA
group: 25-35 year-olds.)
So, what are our options? At the mo­
ment, not much, but as soon as the beast
rears its head (assuming that happens
before May 3rd), I'll let you know.

Willamette sweeps LCr sidetracks strong spring play
by David Kolek
The Willamette University Bearcats swept the Pio­
neers in three straight games in Salem on Mar. 28-29,
dropping Lewis &: Clark's baseball team record to 9-
10.
The competition with Willamette began on Mar. 28
when LC traveled down to Salem for a double header
against the Bearcats, who improved their record to 16-
4 on the season after the three game series.
Coach Jerry Gatto had his number one pitcher, se­
nior Corey Maynard, pitch in the first game and the
right-hander from Eugene, Or. threw a gem.
In seven innings of work Maynard allowed just three
hits and collected five strike-outs.
Maynard also allowed four runs over the course of
the game, and this proved to be one more than LC could
muster in the contest.
The Pioneers opened scoring in the first inning when
freshman Rob Broberg singled in Kris Isaacs who was
on base with a walk.
LC added two more runs in the fourth inning. After
Brian Mitchel singled and advanced to second of a sac­
rifice, he was brought home by an RBI single from
Isaacs.
Isaacs would score moments later when Broberg
collected his second RBI of the afternoon off of an­
other single.
It would be the sixth inning, however, that the Pio­
neers would regret in this game.
Maynard hit the first two Willamette batters of the
inning, putting two men on with no one out. This un­
forced error came back to haunt Maynard and the Pio­
neers when the next batter socked a three-run home
run out of the park.
Despite a strong team performance which saw error
free defense in the field, the Pioneers dropped this one
to the Bearcats by a final score of 4-3. If the first game was a pitchers' duel, the second
stanza of the double header was the exact opposite.
The two teams combined for total of 29 runs in a wild
nine inning game which saw the Bearcats walk away
with a second victory by a final score of 16-13.
Junior Justin Duling got the start for the Pioneers
in the second game and had difficulty beginning in the
second inning of action. Duling, who has struggled at
the beginning of this young season, gave up eight runs
on six hits before he was relieved by Mark Donavan in
the fourth inning.
The Pioneers began to claw back into this game
when they scored three runs in the fourth inning to
add to a run they had collected in the second; despite
this, they still trailed 8-4 leading up to the top of the
sixth inning.
That frame saw Willamette add five more runs to
their lead, which must have seemed insurmountable
to the Pioneers at 13-4.
Do not underestimate the fight of this year's squad,
however.
The Pioneers battled back, adding two runs to their
total leading up to a productive eighth inning .
LC scored an unbelievable seven runs in that in­
ning, refusing to concede the game.
Despite these heroics, which saw LC junior Bryan
Hageman collect four RBI's for the game, LC could not
overcome the lead Willamette had built.
One day later, Mar. 29., the Pioneers traveled to Sa­
lem for the third game of the weekelld series against
the Bearcats. This game saw Willamette pile on 12 runs
en route to their third victory over the Pioneers. This
one went to the Bearcats by a final score of 12-3.
The Pioneers started the week of action in a differ­
ent locale, Claremont, Ca., where they took part in the
Claremont College Invitational Tournament.
Joined by eleven other teams in the sunny environ­
ment, the Pioneers finished third in the tournament, "--------------

barely missing a shot at the championship game.
The Pioneers beat California Lutheran University
9-8 and defeated Claremont-Mudd, the host school,
19-10.
LC also picked up a conference Victory by defeating
Whitman College 13-6 in California . The Pioneers
dropped games to former president Richard Nixon's
alma mater, Whittier College, as well as to Redlands
University .
Despite these loses, the journey to California was
successful for the Pioneers.
No Pioneer enjoyed more success than Maynard
who, after a slow start, rocketed to four consecutive
wins to improve his season record to 4-1, bringing his
ERA down to 4.14.
On the side of the offense, Isaacs continued his hot
hitting. He now stands at .400, with 26 hits for the
season along with two horne runs and 14 RBI's.
He is followed closely by Broberg, hitting .366 with
12 RBI's of his own.
Mitchell is hitting .343, has scored twelve runs, and
has nine RBI's on the season thus far.
Now, with the sunshine and movie stars behind
them, the Pioneers must focus on a tough NCIC con­
ference schedule .

The key to enjoying spring
by David Kolek
Spring is the greatest time of the year.
The sun is out more often and the
flowers are blooming. The air is filled
with the sweet nectar of mother nature,
while the songs of joyous birds caress
the ear.
The air is also filled with the curses,
grunts, and exertions of sweaty, athletic
men and women desperate to participate
in sports in the great outdoors .
You see, spending six months in per­
petual darkness, held down by the clouds
and incessant rain is unhealthy for the
athletic nature in so many.
When the weather finally turns in fa­
vor of these folks, they are out in full
force to enjoy the sunshine and the joy
of competition among friends. The muddy fields, and inundated bas­
ketball courts that come with the long,
cold winter mock those that long to be
playing, running, participating .
To put it simply, the frigid, wet
weather keeps people from enjoying the
fruits of hard work and accomplishment
that come with recreational activities .
Portland enjoyed an unprecedented
string of warm and sunny days just prior
Lo spring break and if old Mr. EI Nino
has his way, there are bound to be more
days like that in the near future.
The key to enjoying this weather is
rather Simple.
Get outside as fast as you can, play
hard, and then sit back and enjoy the
sunset.
Believe me, you'll enjoy it!
