sanctions three
students
by Judy Zawatzky
Sanctions were meted out to three Lewis & Clark stu­
dents by the Honor Board on Tuesday. One student will be
suspended spring semester and two will be on academic
probation until the end of this academic school year.
These measures were unanimously decided upon during
hearings held on Oct. 23. Stemming from incidents which
occurred last year,
the cases involved
"I think the deliberations
were fair. The Honor Board,
if anything, was very fair to
all parties involved. II
Laura Provinzino,
Honor Board Chair two incidences of
plagiarism and one
case of forgery of
faculty signatures
on college docu­
ments.
The three cases
are setting prece­
dents for the col-
Cherry pickin' favorites lege. Only one hear­
ing has been held prior to this, according to Honor Board
Chair Laura Provinzino . The Honor Board itself is currently
in its third semester of existence. Six key characters in this semester's main stage play, The Cherry Orchard, by Anton Chekhov,
fine tune their lines and blocking for the play's approaching opening day. (L-R: Erin Renfroe,
Colesie Tnarp,}ustin Sanders, Stephanie Writt, Shawn· Kilburn, Jenny Deller). One issue the young board wants to tackle deals with
hearing cases as expediently as possible. The board will be
discussing this soon, according to board member and assis­
tant professor of political science Robert Eisinger. The two
cases of plagiarism, both of which were brought to the board
by one professor , occurred last fall. However , the cases were
not filed with the board until the end of the academic school
year. At that point it was too late for the board,to hear the
cases. The late filing of the forgery allegation also prevented
that case from being heard. The play tells the story of Lyubov Andreyerna , an aristocrat who loses her treasured
cherry orchard by her own superficiality. Her family was going bankrupt and could not keep
the orchard. The irony of the play is that Lyubov loses it to Lopakhin, an old family friend with
no social standing who had recently become very wealthy. The Cherry Orchard is a dark com­
edy that portrays the social and economic upheaval of the time.
The Cherry Orchard was Chekhov's last play. He died of tuberculosis shortly after the script's
completion. The hearings themselves have been interpreted in vary­
ing ways. "I think the deliberation s were fair. The Honor
Board, if anything, was very fair to all parties involved,"
said Provinzino. The Lewis & Clark student production opens Friday, Nov. 13, and runs for two weekends.
Tickets are $6 for general admission; $3 for senior citizens, alumni, and non-LC students, and
$1 for the LC community.

Students discuss dangers of eating disorders

Ken Lewis carries 'I Have a Dream' message to students
by Midori Wilson-Seppa
Last Thursday night, students and faculty from Lewis
& Clark had an opportunity to speak with one of the
co-founders of the "I Have a Dream" Foundation, Ken
Lewis. He spoke not only about his view of leadership
but also what kind of an impact responsible and pas­
sionate leadership can make in the world.
Lewis is actively involved in many issues involving
social justice and social action both within his immedi­
ate community and beyond. He co-founded the "I Have
a Dream" Foundation which works to give every child
a fighting chance to succeed through education . He has
served on the social action committee for Temple Beth
Israel and as president of the Oregon Ballet Theatre.
Despite this list of activities and organizations , Lewis
was surprisingly down-to-earth and approachable.
His initial question of the evening, "Is leadership
important ?," launched a flurry of responses from the
audience and was met with an overwhelmingly posi­
tive response from students. The discussion led into
brainstorming about qualities that are essential in some­
one who can change lives through their leadership abil­
ity, a theme that returned at various times throughout
the evening. Among the characteristics that students
suggested were responsibility, respect, pride, ability to
empower, humor, humility, and courage.
Interestingly, the traditional view of leadership re­
quiring social connections and money was sharply
downplayed by Lewis. He maintained that money and connections were actually not necessary and that some
of the most influential people in the world were able to
accomplish an amazing amount of good without money
to push their ideas through. These people succeeded be­
cause they believed in the merit of their ideals and were
willing to fight for unpopular ideas or positions, a stance
that takes both courage and inspiration.
With warm humor and a critical eye, Lewis challenged
students to formulate their own definition of what quali­
ties make for a good, not merely a strong, leader. Cour­
age and humility were repeatedly lauded by Lewis as the
essential characteristics possessed by the people he most
admired in his life. "That [humility] and integrity are
probably the most important qualities any person can
have," Lewis said.
In the course of the talk he spoke specifically about a
number of people whO have made a difference in his life
because of their commitment to their beliefs, their hu­
mility and their integrity. Lewis mentioned both Ralph
Nader, college friend and neighbor as well as grassroots
consumer advocate, and Tom McCall, former governor
of Oregon, as guiding influences in his life. Their cour­
age was inspirational and the passion that drove them
changed thousands of lives, including Lewis' own.
Lewis underscored several times that the desire to
reach out beyond the boundaries of the "self' was a de­
fining characteristic of an inspirational leader. "Part of
the richness of life occurs when the payoff to you is just
satisfaction but the payoff to others is that it changes their
lives," Lewis affirmed.

eating normally was. People with anorexia and bulimia
sometimes eat large amounts of food and other times
you don't eat at all. It was difficult to know what a
healthy amount of food was.
Richard, who is now a pastry chef, refuses to be­
lieve that eating disorders stay with people for the rest
of their lives. Nick Meder, a sophomore at LC who
experienced anorexia during a year of high school,
added that food is always a part of your life, but the
obsession won't be with you forever. Meder, who ate
less than 500 calories per day during a year of high
school, now has no problem eating at Burger King
twice a day.
Lindsay Hyde, an RA who helped organize and put
on the talk along with three other RAs, said, "I think

ders] are a common problem. People will know that
there are other people going through the same thing
and that resources are available." ... Eating Disorders, from Page 1

The students charged with plagiarism were not as
pleased with the board. "It seems to me they were
pretty sure I was guilty anyway and were going
through this as a formality ," Matt Rasmussen, charged
with plagiarism , said.
The second student with the same charge feels that
he has been wronged as an international student. To
allow for his right to privacy, the student will be re­
ferred to as Smith. "Overall, I wasn't all that happy
with the decision. I screwed up on a minute detail,
and they've taken that to the top. How do they expect
international students to know every minute detail of
how the policy works?" Smith asked.
On the issue of international students, Eisinger
points out that they must have a certain level of lan­
guage proficiency to be accepted by the college. In
addition, first-year students and intemational students
are made aware of the Academic Integrity Policy and
Procedures Handbook . Provinzino spoke to all of the
Inventing America students about the policy during
the opening invocation ceremony. She also met with
those international students in ISALC who have less
S!Jf~Inf! """fflr .. meK",ajn rile policy.
Despite the fact that the board has put sanctions
upon three students, Provinzino said that these were
"educational" sanctions. Those charged with plagia­
rism have been asked to revise their papers and then
to resubmit them to the board. The student who will
be suspended will have a chance to reevaluate his
education at the college. The measures taken by the board as educational sanc­
tions are in addition to those taken by the professor . Smith,
for example, received an "F' in the course.
"The Honor Board does not have authority over grades,
which is within the locus of the professor, but the Honor
Board would look to give a sanction above and beyond the
grade that has been given by the professor," Provinzino
said.
In addition to holding hearings, the board is also work­
ing on building a database of all students who have been
accused of misconduct by a professor . A professor may file
a student's breach of the academic integrity policy with
the board but not have the case actually heard.
''The reason we initiate these forms is that even if the
professor decides to handle it alone, we still want to have
some sort of central record," Provinzino said. A central­
ized record system will allow the board to track those stu­
dents who are violating the academic integrity policy in
more than one course.
In the cases of the student forgeries, three students were
charged last year. Only one of those students returned. The
other two have had their files flagged. By flagging their
files the college h~ a way to implement the Honor Board
prior to contact or re-enrollment with the school, accord­
ingto Provinzino . If those students chose to re-enroll, they
must have a hearing.
Pending cases for fall of 1997 involve allegations of
cheating on an examination . The two students accused of
this have not returned to the college. Support Services for Eating Disorders:

Give Oregonians a choice on
death, vote 'no' on 5 I
commentary by Mike Folland
If Measure 51 is passed, the Oregon
Death With Dignity Act (Measure 16) will
be repealed. Measure 16 allows a termi­
nally ill patient who has less than six
months to live the choice to obtain a
physician's prescription for a lethal dose
of medication in order to hasten his death.
A person should have the choice of
whether or not he wants to end his life
soon. This decision should be made be­
tween a patient and his family with the
advice of a doctor and not the state. It is
impossible for the state to say that under
no circumstance can a person obtain a le­
thal dose of medication because there are
so many different situations involving ter­
minally ill patients.
Many terminally ill patients lose all
control of their bodily functions. The in­
ability to control when one urinates is em­
barrassing for him and his family. A per­
son should not have to be humiliated like
this, especially during the last days of his
or her life. A person wants to die with dig­
nity and not humiliation .
Some patients are so sick that they be­
come vegetables in which case they be­
come complete ly dependent on someone
else to keep them
alive. Doctors and One definition of suicide that New
Webster's Dictionary gives is, "an action
for which one is responsib le and which
damages one's career or reputation irrepa­
rably." Getting the assistance from a doc­
tor to end one's life is a way of keeping
the reputation that a person had when he
was unaffected by the disease. The per­
son wants to be remembered as he used
to be and not as a lump of flesh in a hos­
pital bed. One can use Measure 16 to pre­
serve the memories of his career and repu­
tation for those that knew him.
Measure 16 gives people a sense of se­
curity and relief that if they do reach the
point where they can no longer tolerate
the pain caused from their illness that they
have the option to hasten the end of their
life. It allows people to focus on living
their life and not to worry about the pain
that they will experience in the end.
Some argue that Measure 16 is wrong
because teenagers will get the idea that
society is promoting suicide. This is ri­
diculous. The law is specifica lly for ter­
minally ill patients who have less than six
months to live.
Voting against Measure 51 will provide
the deserved comfort for terminally ill
patients and their families.
Primary source family members
spend a significant
amount of time on the
patient. The energy it
takes to keep the pa­
tient alive can become
exhausting. It is much
easier on the family if
the patient can die

seeing him in pain. Source: Oregon voter's pamphlet
Measure 51 Repeals law allowing terminally ill
adults to obtain lethal prescription.
Often, a patient can
use as much morphine
as he desires. He can
use so much morphine
that he becomes
oblivious to what is
going on around him.
It makes more sense
to end the person's life
than to keep him alive
when he is unaware of
reality.

Assisted suicide law needs to
be repealed, vote 'yes' on 5 I
comment ary by Antonia Giedwoyn
Assisted suicide is a Pandora's box
waiting to release its dangerous contents.
Much like the mythological box, the most
misleading element about Measure 16 is
its surface appearance . On first glance the
legislation seems logical, and humane in
nature. In theory, I wholeheartedly sup­
port the idea. In an ideal society, an indi­
vidual should have the right to end his or
her life when she or he wants with ex­
treme physical pain and minimal hope for
recovery.
Unfortunately , the world is flawed, and
so is Measure 16. Thus, voters should sup­
port Measure 51, which is aiming to re­
peal Oregon's assisted-suicide law.
The possibility of having Measure 16
reaffirmed fills me with fear. I would like
to be able to grow old peacefully, with
the assurance that if I become ill, I will
be taken care of. There is a reason this
issue was sent back to voters for recon­
sideration: Measure 16 is flawed.
Imagine that you are in the position of
a terminally ill individual. Perhaps you are
72 years old and suffering from cancer.
You have always loved life and believe
in living yours as long as possible. How­
ever, those around you make it increas­
ingly difficult to do so. Your relatives are
pressuring you to "end the pain." They
would love to collect their inheritance this
month. Your physician urges you to "stop
your suffering." With HMOs, the motto
of the medical community has become might seek God or their guardian angel
as a last hope. You, sick and forsaken,
begin to view yourself as a financial bur­
den. You don't want to be a burden. Out
of a sense of guilt, you announce your
decision to have your life terminated .
Even families who love the patient, and
for whom inheritance is unlikely or irrel­
evant, nonetheless must care and or pay
for the sick family member.
What about those patients whose de­
pression clouds their judgment? What
about the mentally incompetent , maybe
those with Alzheimer 's? These people are
no longer capable of making a sound de­
cision. There exist a million "what ifs,"
many of them very compelling.
A doctor I know shared a piece of in­
formation many people may not be aware
of. There have always been ways of get­
ting around the prohibition of assisting a
patient's death. This doctor, in special
cases when he felt it right to allow the
patient the option of ending his or her life,
gave the patient that very option. "I know
you said you're in a great deal of pain,"
he would explain, "so I'm prescribing
these pain killers. Be careful. If you take
more than the allotted amount, they can
kill you." In most cases, doctors can uti­
lize advanced medication to control pain.
If nothing works, however, patients al­
most always have enough medication to
overdose and kill themselves.
Thus, Oregonians should vote yes on
51. Measure 16 simply leaves too much
potential for abuse.
"the less money spent
per patient, the better."
This means that it is in
the best financial inter­
est of HMOs, and doc­
tors as well, to see to it
that a patient dies as
quickly as possible. EDITORS-IN-CHIEF: Jeremy Brown, Katy Davidson
NEWS EDITOR: Angela Nusom
So you, lying sick
and helpless in your
hospital bed, begin to
doubt whether you
even possess a right to

supposedly closest to

motives to "ease" you

http://www.l clark.edu/ -piolog Fall and Thanksgiving breaks: too short or too many?
• Shortness of LC breaks are a
ioke
commentary by Sam Stone
One Day? One lousy day for fall break,
two for Thanksgiving . Who's kidding
who? I've skipped class and gotten longer
vacations . Hell, my high school used to
give us a week off just for the local Ro­
deo. "Two days ... What am I supposed to
do, make a trip to the store and back?"
asks senior prognosticator Matt Ehrmann.
Really, how useful is it having three or
four days off for vacation? I live in up­
state New York, getting home requires a
full twelve to fifteen hours of travel. Yet,
every year my parents badger me to come
home and celebrate Thankgiving with
them. I'd love to be able to accept, but
four days is just not enough time.
Once, as a foolhardy newcomer to Lewis & Clark, I did
agree to make the trek
across country. After
twelve hours of being
packed into an over­
crowded airplane like a sardine
in a can, I was ready to commit
a felony, not consume apple pie.
I was so irritable from jet lag and
educational stress that by the
time I left my mother wanted me
to make an appointme nt with a
psychiatrist to deal with my "an­
ger problems ."
These short breaks, however,
aren't fair to anyone -even if you don't
Ijve thousands of miles away. School isn't
easy. My advisor informs me that for ev­
ery hour I spend in the classroom I need
see nap time, page 8 • Get rid of these
breaks and make
Christmas longer
commentary by
Linsel Greene
One day? One day spent rest­
ing, and another two days of lax
behavior at the end of Novem­
ber? What the heck for? If you
want a break, skip a class. Don't
make the rest of us suffer
through these breaks. "I want to
get more out of my classes.
What is this break meant to do?"
asks senior academic scholar Gleen
Sinleer.
I mean, how useful are a couple days
off anyway, sitting secluded in the middle
of the fall semester. Every year my par­
ents and I have to deliberate about who is going where for Thanksgiving, and for
what? Let's get rid of this useless "vaca­
tion" altogether.
Thanksgiving is truly just another
American made excuse for laziness. Sit­
ting around, watching television ,
eating ... this is what people feel the need
to do with their breaks. Have we no work
ethic?
I know that I would much rather dis­
card this useless time off and place those
days at the end of summer vacation,
thereby allowing the more work-oriented
of us to maintain full time jobs. That ex­
tra cash can real Iy hel p support us students
throughout the year. Or perhaps they could
remove that insignificant fall break day,
and add it to our Christmas break, so we
could beat the Friday night, Saturday

Build where it makes
environmental sense
The parking lot issue is one of pro­
found importan ce. The cultural integrity
of Lewis & Clark is at stake.
The proposed parking lot represents
the circumvention of communication with
the student body by the administration.
The Adminjstration 's current application
for a permit to build was done with no
prior discourse . With the amount of
money students pay to attend this college,
one would think that students have a right
to participate in the evolution of LC.
The administration should immedi­
ately withdraw their application for a per­
mit to build. It is more important to cater
to the students and take the time to utilize
their input than to hastily push the permit
4.IoII.U"III!IM- .U.IIil..WJ'I"r. The administration also
needs to provide a letter to the students
apologizing for its miscue. Included in
their letter, the administration must prom­
ise to incorporate the student body in any
further action by changing their bylaws
to make student participation mandatory.
The proposed parking lot reveals the
hypocrisy by which LC operates. This
school, particularly the Northwest School
of Law's Environmental Law Department ,
is highly regarded for its environmental
credo. Yet, the administration assumes the
stance of "do as I say, not as I do." They
have deemed it necessary to pave over
some of Tryon Creek State Park's critical
Q
BONE ho.lloweefl is

/ habitat areas within what little wooded
refuge still exists.
For LC to be the institution it professes
to be, it needs to alter its consumerist prac­
tices. LC needs to become more environ­
mentally aware of its actions. The park­
ing lot must be built elsewhere. Viable al­
ternatives are being ignored.
LC is taking the easy way out of a park­
ing problem by saying build, build, build.
If we must build, let us build within the
confines of the institution rather than in­
fringe on the lands of the pUblic. Let us
build where the aesthetics of the campus
will not be destroyed. Let us build where
it makes environmental and economic
sense. By working together, students, fac­
ulty, and administrators, we can come up
with an appropriate solution to the pro­
posed parking lot.

Speaker deserves
praise not criticism
I would like to respond to Jon
McConnel's Oct. 3 letter to the editor
("Civic Leader's Ostensibly Good Work
Saddens Alumnus") criticizing Ron
Gould's volunteer and civic activities. I
also attended the talk and came away with
a wholly different perspective.
McConnel finds business involvement
in volunteer and civic organizations highly objectionable . In his view, business
intrusion is not justified even if it contrib­
utes to the public good. The simple alter­
native to corporate involvement is corpo­
rate non-involvement. The private sector
could just as easily keep 100 percent of
its profits and withdraw support of such
beneficial groups as the United Way, many
of which are funded almost entirely by
private interests. Most people would agree
that business support of civic and chari­
table organizations is preferable.
It is sad that McConnel is critical of
organizations with such commendable
goals. The Multnomah County Caring
Committees , established by the Leaders
Roundtable , aim to increase the high
school completion rate and improve ac­
cess to health care while decreasing do­
mestic violence, reducing teen pregnancy,
and lowering the percentage of economi·
cally disadvantaged residents. That these
goals are worth pursuing is beyond de­
bate. Such groups are most effective in
bringing about positive change toward
these goals because they are comprised
ofleaders with influence over policies that
effect relevant issues. Members of the
Leaders Roundtable have the skills and
resources to get things done. McConnel's
viewpoint that business, professional , or
political leadership should preclude in­
volvement in volunteer and civic work is
unrealistic, counterproductive, and exclu­
sionary.
Civic and volunteer organizations such
as the United Way
and the Caring
Committees are
making a positive
difference in
Portland, and
they owe much of
their success to fi­
nancial support
from the business
world and volun­
teer time from lo­
cal leaders. People like Mr. Gould should be com­
mended, not criticized, for their involve­
ment in these worthwhile groups.

The learning disabled
work hard
I am writing in response to an article
on the language waiver "controversy "
published in the Oct. 17 issue of the Pio­
neer Log.
In case you don't have the article on
hand, I'd like to point out a few bits that I
found particularly important and deserv­
ing of reemphasis . First, before qualify­
ing for the language waiver, students
must, to quote the article, "under[go] a
battery of twelve to fifteen tests" admin­
istered by "a psychoeducation al special­
ist outside LC." Once their language re­
quirement is waived, students "must sub­
stitute their language classes with inter­
national studies courses." This is not an
excuse to get out of taking requirements.
I have had extensive experience work­
ing with students with learning disabili­
ties. Over the past three years I have
worked in the Writing Center as a peer
consultant as well as for Student Support
Services as a notetaker and tutor for LD
students. Since my freshman year I have
worked closely with about six or seven
students in subjects ranging from physics
to music to paper writing for various
classes, and I've never seen one of them
use their disability as a crutch. Most are
the hardest-working students I've ever.en­
countered. They put in more effort that
I've ever even thought about.
I don't think people fully realize the
struggles LD students go through each
day. For example, I'm currently working
with a student on her senior thesis. Lately,
we've been working on her two-to three­
page introduction. Before she even comes
to me, she goes through four or five drafts,
which takes about ten hours spread out
over three days. She brings the draft to
me, and we go over it together for at least
two hours, and we work it into a clear
and understandable piece of writing.
Those three pages take at least a week,
and we're not talking perfection here,
but simple clarity.
My point is not to say that students
with learning disabilities are less bright
than other students; they are every bit
as intelligent. But they do have differ­
ent ways oflearning which sometimes
require more time. They generally
work harder than other students I know
and are committed to getting an edu­
cation, not a free ride.

Romantic interest in others comes out in flirts
by Jessica Tanner
Chuck slyly glances across the classroom
and meets the seemingly penetrating gaze
of Veronica. A moment later, Chuck notices
Veronica staring out the window. Was she
trying to flirt or simply taking note of
Chuck's new green plaid Oxford shirt?
Who knows how long the mysterious art
of flirting has existed? Many are at odds to
even define flirting. According to Webster's
Third New International Dictionary, the
verb. to flirt, means "to play at courtship,
act the lover without serious intent, to trifle
amorously, especially in discourse, or to
evince superficial interest or liking." An­
other definition, from Daniel Snow of Teen
Advice Online, reports that "flirting is a
form of communica tion that shows appre­
ciation, attraction, and/or interest."
So, just how does one flirt? Senior Am­
ethyst Brown said to "try and make eye con­
tact for more than a few seconds and not
look away." Another student, who wished
to remain anonymous, said she tries to "stare
just a little too long."
Eye contact is more important than
words.
"I can't stand cheesy lines. If I'm going.
to flirt with someone , I'll use intense eye
gestures and eye contact," said freshman
Matt McCarthy . "Successful flirting is more
than staring or giving obvious compliments .
It entails developing sophisticated playful
looks. Flirting is not an exact science." Senior Jeremy Davit attempts to woo sophomore Sasha Raupp with his flirtatious demeanor.
Several students mentioned ambiguity
between flirtation and friendliness.
Senior Elizabeth Henderson said, "It de­
pends on the way it's said and not what is
said. If you like someone . you'll interpret
more, bur if rhe opposire is flUe, rhen you
might be paranoid that it's more. It's hard
to distinguish sometimes because some
people are naturally more affectionate ." Junior Mike Bachman agreed that the
difference between flirting·and friendliness
is found in the interpretation . "It depends
completely on the sender and the receiver.
The person who is receiving the action must
decide if the action is one of flirtation or
not."
Despite ambigious answers as to what
defines flirting, most students agree that
there is a very fine line between flirting and
friendliness . The mysterious element could
be eye contact. Flirting Advice:
F: Fun; Flirting is for fun.
L: Usten; Always be attentive to your target
I: Interest; Flirting shows interest
R: Responsibility; Don't be a jerk. Don't grope with your eyes.
~ T: Trust; Flirting is based upon trust.
S: Smile!

Lisa Locker follows political ambitions
• LC sophomore works for
women's couse in DC.
by Angela Nusom
Growing up with the idea that she didn't
have to follow the normal path to education
and life goals, sophomore Lisa Locker has
made a place for herself in the world of
women's political action.
Working for six months in Washington,
DC, before returning home to Lewis &
Clark, Locker delved into research with
"Emily's List," a political action committee
for pro-choice democratic women. Spurred
by a intrinsic interest in politics and drive
to make a difference, she participated in
political research on behalf of the Demo­
cratic party.
"I've always been interested in politics
and especially women's issues. We can't
have a democracy without equal represen­
tation of men, women, and races in Con-
"Feeling really strongly
about something,
that's when you can
do anything ...
If I try my hardest, I know
something will happen."
gress," she said.
In giving her time to support women's
groups, Locker feels she can make a differ­
ence in society's perceptions of the impor-tance of equality and women's issues.
As an example, she referred to the ob­
scure IUD birth control device which caused
huge numbers of women to become com­
pletely sterile. The purpose of this device is
to cause an irritation in the uterus, prevent­
ing the egg from embedding. Widespread
sterility resulted from use ofthis device, and
Locker finds the lack of action taken on their
behalf deeply frustrating .
"If it had happened to men it would be
all over in the papers," she said passionately .
Instead, this occurrence is widely unknown
to people, and little was done to the owners
of the business, who later filed for bank­
ruptcy after compensating only a fraction
of those harmed.
This incident is a primary example of
why Locker said she feels it is so important
to have a more equal distribution of men and
women in Congress, and why action must
be taken for women's health issues.
The neglect Locker refers to inspires her
conflicting feelings toward government.
While she wants to be involved politically,
the flaws and injustice in the system divide
her sentiment toward it.
''I'm very disillusioned with the politi­
cal system," Locker said. "So, I'm more
searching for the ideal democracy, instead
of wholeheartedly supporting the current p0-
litical organization."
Her work at Emily's List to research and
expose what lies behind the campaigns of
opposing Republican candidates furthered
her desire to remain politically active.
Following her work with this organiza­
tion, Locker was hired by the Women's Le­
gal Defense Fund (WLDF), which offered
her a position and is willing to wait for her
6 ' Pioneer Log October 3 I, 1997 to complete her undergraduate degree.
Through her political action experience
in DC, Locker discovered what she wanted
to do. Majoring in political science with a
minor in· gender studies, she intends to
graduate from LC and return to DC to re­
sume her work with the WLDF.
Her more specific focus will be on
women's health issues, such as HIVand the
Family Medical Leave Act ,which mandates
that women who take leave due to childbirth ,
taking care of an ill loved one, or personal
illness, will have jobs when they return.
Until her return to DC, Locker spent her
time working with Cascade AIDS Project
"I've always been interested
in politics
and especially women's issues.
We can't have a democracy
without equal representation
of men, women, and races
in Congress."
(CAP) as an intern.
As women are the fastest growing group
of HIV victims, and political issues sur­
rounding AIDS are many, the relevancy of
her work with CAP to her future goals is
strong.
"It is important to help in every way you
can," she said. "It seems like such a waste
of life not to help others who may not have
as much as you." In keeping with her family's strong
democratic principles , Locker desires the
woman's voice to be heard. Like her grand­
mother, who was the head of the Women's
Democratic Club, she intends to dedicate
herself to women in politics.
"Feeling really strongly about something ,
that's when you can do anything," she said,
"It's feeling passionately in a cause. If I try
my hardest I know something will happen."

www.kaplan.com Beating the CD club mail-order mafia
by Ben Eichenberg
One day I was sitting in my room thinking to myself
how terrible it was to be ajunior in high school. On top of
this calamity was the depressing fact that my sister had more
CDs than I did. This was something that I could not allow
to continue. The next time I saw my friend Nik I presented
my problem to him. He suggested a simple solution to my
problem: he would sign me up for the CD club that he just
used. This mail order club happened to be Columbia House,
and that is where my odyssey began.
The first deal I signed up for through Columbia House
was the "buy one CD, get eleven free" deal. This is what is
known by those in the know as the "good deal." I must
have had beginner's luck. What you have to do when con­
sorting with the mail-order Mafia is to figure out the aver­
age cost that you are paying for each CD. I didn't know this
at the time, but if I had I would have figured out that I was
paying around $16 plus the average $2.50 shipping and
handling fee for a total of $18.50 for the first CD. Each
additional CD was just the $2.50 shipping and handling
fee, for a total of $28.50. All together that is $45 for 12
CDs, a little under $4 a CD, and the beauty of the deal was
that there was never an obligation to buy any more CD's
from them ever again!
This deal was available much more frequently back in
the good old days when the CD Mafia was a family-run
thing that a man could trust. Nowadays , this sweet deal is
almost impossible to find. The mail-order Mafia instead
offers a different deal that may be a little more photogenic,
but doesn't work out as well for the CD buyer.
Get II CDs for just one cent! Of course, the small type
at the bottom tells you of something completely different
-the 6 more CDs that you are now obligated to buy at
regular club prices (usually $14-18 a disc) during the next
three years. Let's do the math, shall we? Eleven CDs for
one cent, plus $2.50 shipping and handling per CD, that
makes $18.51. Now you get to add on the $16 average price
for the 6 CD's that you are obligated to buy at some future
date (I have to pull up the little computer calculator for this
one): plus the $2.50 for shipping and handling, of course.
That comes to a grand total of $111, add $18.51 to that and
you get a grand total of$129.51 for 17 CDs. That's an aver­
age of $7.62 per CD, almost four dollars per CD more than
the other deal.
Still, you might be saying to yourself that $7.62 for a new CD isn't bad at all. And now you are all signed up with
a CD club of your very own. Every month they will send
you a music magazine with its selection of the month and
some deal like "buy one CD at regular club prices, get as
many CDs as you want for just $3.99. Of course, we can
interpret that as saying "buy one CD at $18.50, get as many
as you want for just $5.49." Of course, the more CDs you
buy, the better your average gets. In order to get back to
that great original club price of$7.62 you have to buy around
ART BY AUBREY LYON
ten CD's total. Of course, there are good monthly deals and
bad monthly deals. The best one that I ever saw said "buy
one CD at regular club prices and get three free" (that was
from BMG, I will talk about the different clubs later). But
even that doesn't equal the "good deaL"
The real downside to the monthly membership is the
"Selection of the Month." In addition to the magazine and
potential monthly deals, the CD club is nice enough to send
you the regularly priced selection of the month (review:
that means $18.50), regardless of whether you want it or
not, if you fail to return the order form with the little box
that says "send me nothing at this time" checked.
Take it from me, you will always forget to mail it in on
time. In addition to this you have to start adding on a 32-
cent stamp every month to the total cost that you are paying
for your CDs. There is a very simple way around this, sort of a secret that I managed to figure out one day when I was
just totally fed up with the selection of the month crap.
ljust sent them a very polite letter asking them to please
assume that I did not want the selection of the month, since
I was often out of town and didn't always get a chance to
answer my mail promptly. Worked like a charm. Now all of
my order forms come with a little note on them that says
"you need not return this form, no selection will be sent to
you automatica lly. Try it. Il works.
Oh, and by the way, expect your CDs to take at least a
month to arrive. That $2.50 shipping and handling isn't put
toward speed.
Additionally, you can't know what the CD that you are
buying sound like, so you're best bet is to make sure that
you have heard the albums that you are ordering somewhere
before you order them, and that you are still going to want
them in a month.
Another way to get free CDs once you are a monthly
member is to sucker your friends into lelling you sign them
up for the bad deal (II for one cent). At this point the CD
Mafia will reward you by sending you 5 "free" CD's for
just $2.50. Not bad for a little fast talking. You might even
sell them to CD Warehouse for $4 a disc and make $7.50
off each friend that you sucker.
There are several clubs out there, but the two oldest (and
the only ones with which I have any experience) are BMG
and Columbia House.
In general, the differences between them are fairly mini­
mal. Columbia House is a little bit more expensive and of­
fers fewer deals. As a trade-off, Columbia House offers a
much better selection of CDs.
You won't find everything you want, but chances are
they will have something you want in their 10,000 CD col­
lection. (I just got a nice little alphabetized booklet with
6,000 CDs in it. For an even wider selection you can visit
their web site.)
As a final note, I thought that I would mention some­
thing that I have heard of but would never try mysel f. People
actually sign themselves up for the introductory deal under
another name.
This is obviously mail fraud and will likely earn you
. some broken kneecaps or a nice nap with the fishes cour­
tesy of the mail-order Mafia, but you would get those extra
5 free CDs for signing up a "friend," plus that sweet intro­
ductory deal all over again ...
Students shine a little light on Shadow Hills
by Katy Davidson
It's been called "The LC Slums" and "Shadow Hell,"
but senior Tamar Salomon has found a simple solution to
the name game. "I just call it Shadow Hills," she said.
Salomon, along with seemingly every other upperclass­
man at Lewis & Clark College, is a proud tenant in the
Shadow Hills Apartment Complex, about a half mile south­
east of Fred Meyer on Vermont Street.
After fulfilling the two-year residency requirement, most
LC juniors and seniors seek housing away from campus.
They disperse throughout Sellwood, Multnomah Village,
and John's Landing in search of a quaint shelter to call their own. Many, so it appears, choose to call Shadow Hills their
"own."
According to Jacleen Kasserman, the assistant manager
of the complex, about 25% of Shadow Hills' residents at­
tend either LC or Oregon Health Sciences University . She
said there are 220 apartments and each one holds an aver­
age of two people, making a total of about 440 residents.
Of these, there are between 50 and 75 LC students.
Kasserman said the other tenants represent a spectrum
of ages, from thirty-year-olds through the elderly. Though
it seems possible that so many college students living near
each other would cause disruption and pandemonium in
the complex, Kasserman maintained that all the Shadow
Hills residents are "very well-behaved
GET IN SHAPE!

The negative nicknames , "The LC
Slums" and "Shadow Hell," stem from the
sheer number of LC students that live
there; they are not a comment on the qual­
ity of the complex, according to Salomon.
She listed several positive aspects about
her community. IMMEDIATE PART-TIME JOBS

Rayburn wows Club Stamm once again
by Colin Ryono
If one was cynical enough to question or doubt the va­
lidity of Mike Rayburn's honor as "America 's Best Acous­
tic Act" (as voted by Campus Activities Today), his perfor­
mance in SOFA's Club Stamm would certainly silence any
such opinion. Rayburn is an extraordinary peformer and
Lewis & Clark was lucky enough to host his second perfor­
mance here last week.
One could visibly see the immense
concentration on Rayburn's face
as his eyes never wavered
from the instrument he held against him.
In his act, Rayburn is able to seamlessly combine both
comedy and serious guitar, and with each of these elements,
keeping his audience constantly at attention and entertained.
He opened with two instrumental pieces, one written by
J.S. Bach and the other a Rayburn original. One could vis­
ibly see the immense concentration on Rayburn's face as
his eyes never wavered from the instrument he held against
him.
Song parodies were an integral part of Rayburn's act as PHOTO BY GINA KEUEY
Rayburn entertains students at Club Stamm. he had one famous musical artist(s) do their version of an­
other artist or group song. These satires included Randy
Travis doing Pink Floyd and Bob Marley doing Garth
Brooks' "Friends in Low Places." Also included in
Rayburn's comedic side was the male reaction to Alanis
Morrissette's (infamous) "You Oughta Know" and the some­
what off-color (but hilarious) country song parody "You
Done Me Wrong But At Least You Done Me."
His style is undoubtedly unique as he is able to bring
sounds from his guitar that one could not imagine. One of
the many highlights of the show was a version of the Charlie
Daniels Band song, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," a
tune originally intended for the fiddle.
However , Rayburn described how (after the song was
requested at a show in the far past), he picked out the fiddle
parts on his guitar, successfully adapting the energetic and
rousing tune.
He also did a hypnotizing version of "Pachebel's Canon"
which Rayburn introduced as "the culture fix of the
evening."
He also played a few songs from his latest album en­
titled "Better Days." Indeed, after the show, a large part of
the obviously impressed crowd gathered around the table
near the entrance to purchase the music they heard.
Rayburn gave a marvelous performance to the Club
Stamm crowd and one hopes that he returns for a third time
to entertain another LC crowd.
Campus journals provide something for everyone
by Wendy Clark
There are many opportunities at Lewis
& Clark for literary and artistic expression,
both in and out of class. Budding authors,
artists, poets and others can now publish
their work in three campus journals .
Synergia, the Meridian, and the Lit Review.
Synergia
Synergia focuses on gender issues and
fundamental human relations . The works
they choose may be romantic, or simply
those that explore the taboos in society. The
first thing Synergia looks for is quality; the
second is gender relations.
"Gender issues should definitely be in
there," said co-editor Mitch Nakaue. Co-edi­
tors Jessica Citti and Elizabeth Thiel agree.
The third item is variety, followed closely
by originality. Most of the other journals
follow a similar pattern when choosing sub­
missions.
Usually, Synergia consists of 26 works
of writing and eight to ten pieces of art, and
it is a book about 50 to 70 pages long. Sub­
missions should be turned in to box #153,
typed in a size 12 font, by Friday, Novem­
ber 14. The finished publication should be available around the second week in March,
or at least before the Gender Symposium.
Like the other journals on campus, the
ASLC communications board funds
Synergia, so it is free to the public.
Meetings are every Monday at 4 pm in
the Akin study. Students interested in par­
ticipating in the production aspect of
Synergia are welcome to join, according to
Nakaue.
A typical meeting entails the discussion
of submissions . The co-editors remove the
entrant's name from the piece, then it is cop­
ied and handed to the members for reading.
Afterward, the members dissect the piece
for its strong and weak points. At the end of
the semester, a vote is taken and entries are
chosen.
Meridian
"The Meridian is the 'journal of interna­
tional affairs and cross-cultural issues,'" said
co-editor Rebecca Moran, "so we are look­
ing for any work that pertains to our sub­
ject."
Head of the international affairs depart­
ment Bob Mandel advises the Meridian. It
accepts papers, essays, overseas journal en-tries, international student thought-essays ,
political cartoons, photography, and more.
Work is reviewed anonymously, as in
Synergia, but in this case by the editorial
board.
The deadline for submissions is Thurs­
day, November 20. Works should be turned
in to box #152 with a name, e-mail and
phone number.
Moran said interested students should e­
mail her at moran@lclark .edu. Freshmen
and sophomores can be a part of the layout
committee; juniors and seniors can be on
the editing board.
UtReview
The Lit Review is cross-departmental ; it
seeks nothing but quality work. It is a one­
credit class taught by Jack Hart, Head of the
English department , and students can regis­
ter at the beginning of the semester.
Meetings take place once a week and dis­
cussion is conducted in a similar manner as
Synergia and the Meridian. Each member
receives a packet of anonymous works, pre­
pared by co-editors Lisa Gerlits and Emily
Heynen, and is allowed one week to read
over them. At the following meeting they have open
discussion. Each member votes on the sub­
missions .
Each year is different, but the Lit Review
averages 80 to 100 pages of fiction, poetry,
photography , and experimental works. The
deadline for submissions is Monday, De­
cember 1.
Submissions should be typed and turned
in to box # 137 with a cover letter specify­
ing the author's name, box number, e-mail
address, and phone number.
The journals need this information to
avoid charges of plagiarism . They have to
be able to contact the original writer or art­
ist of the piece and gain permission to pub­
lish it, though they can publish works under
"anonymous" if it is requested.
Editors agree that the important thing is
just to submit.
"If you think it applies, submit it," Citti
urged.
The journals also do other activities dur­
ing the school year. Synergia is considering
sponsoring a movie night or a dramatic read­
ing. The Lit Review sponsors "Oral Endeav­
ors," a night of dramatic (or other) readings.

CcrEditor-in-Chief Year of the Horse is for the die hard fans
PHOTO COURTESY OF REPRISE
Year of the Horse: Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Live plays at Cinema 21 from November 7-13.
by Marianna Ritchey
I didn't think I wanted to know anything about Neil
Young before I saw Year of the Horse: Neil Young and Crazy
Horse Live. Now, having sat through it, I realize that I know
less than I did before.
My friend and I decided to go because we got free passes,
in return for which, one of us had to write a review. "One of
us" turned out to be me, I think mainly because I talked the
most during the showing.
The film begins, oddly enough, with trippy, washed-out
footage of each member of Crazy Horse talking about the
experience of playing with Neil Young.
They look laid back and fairly unhealthy, with the no­
table exception of Pancho, who is as fat and sassy as al­
ways, even behind his perpetual sunglasses.
You can almost smell the cigarette smoke in the room. Ralph talks endlessly about what a huge honor it is to play
with Neil. Pancho expresses annoyance at the idea that
"some director" can take his "little camera" and just put his
finger on "what exactly is Crazy Horse." Neil is cute and
personable, looking pop-eyed at the wrong side of the
screen.
Aside from the fact that Crazy Horse contains four of
the world's strangest looking people, the band also stands
out because Neil Young is described as "The Godfather of
Grunge." The flames, however, continue to rise, as does the laugh­
ter of the band. Then Neil berates the waitress for putting
flamables so close to his cigarette.
This was admittedly hilarious, and I sat back hoping for
more, but what I got instead was another fifteen minutes of
concert tape. I realized at that point that this is a movie for
Neil Young fans, not for people seeking to learn more about
Neil Young. If you like Crazy Horse, this movie will make
you happy. If you are unfamiliar with Crazy Horse, it will
only confuse and disorient you.
The best part of the Surely his "Tide" brand
tee-shirt and deliberately
stringy hair are indicative of
this title, as well as the mu­
sic of Crazy Horse, which
apparently relies heavily on
the use of a single chord for
several hours at a time. Aside from the fact that Crazy Horse
contains four of the world's
strangest looking people, movie comes when Neil
and his friend, Ken, are sit-
ting in a van discussing the
Old Testament. Ken is ex­
plaining that the Old Tes­
tament is before Christ, and
it's full of God being angry
at people for being bad. The first song in the film,
which turned out to be more
of a videotaped concert than the band also stands out because
Neil Young is described as
'The Godfather of Grunge." "So he's always killing
a rockumentary, was "Fuck It Up." After about ten minutes
of it, my mind began to wander. There is only so much of
the 0 minor chord a body can hear before zoning out. I
started thinking: Has Neil ever not had sideburns? How long
does it take to make those big candles? Is this still the same
chord?
My friend began giggling during the fifteen minute rock­
star ending during which Neil beat on his guitar with a
rolled-up flannel shirt. "The standard Neil Young foot
stomping move makes me laugh," she said. "He's just so
rigid. He's built like a tank." Which didn't make sense to
me. When I think of people who are built like tanks, I think
of George Foreman, who, let's face it, would probably give
old Neil a run for his money.
At any rate, the movie continued with infrequent inter­
ludes of the band backstage and on the bus and doing vari­
ous band-oriented hijinks.
One of these included a scene from the seventies in which
Crazy Horse is eating at a nice little table in a hotel room in
Glasgow, Scotland. Neil proceeds to set fire to the paper
flowers in the center of the table for an unidentified reason.
As the flames grow higher, the band gets more and more .
excited, saying "oh shit" and "look what you did, Neil,"
while attempting to put napkins on top of the blaze to make
it stop. them with plagues and
stuff," says Ken, reading a passage from the book, then ex­
plaining, "See, God wants your dogs to be full of the blood
of your enemies who you've just butchered." A moment of
silence, and then Neil says, "Wow." Then more silence.
Then, "It's like one time I planted all these trees, and they
didn't tum out the way I thought they would, so I chopped
them all down."
"Yeah."
"Heavy."
This was a very cute moment for me. I also liked the
clip from an early eighties rehearsal in which the entire band
screams at each other for about five minutes, ending with
the line, "Ralph, I love you. I love you, man."
The proof is in the pudding. This is a movie for huge
Crazy Horse fans. This movie teaches you nothing about
the band, apart from the dates of all the members who over­
dosed on drugs and died.
By the end of it, you are very fond of Neil, just because
he's so cute and weird-looking and old, but you don't re­
ally know him. And that's okay, I guess. If anything it forces
you to respect them all for being in the business so success­
fully for so long.
So in a way, I suppose you'd call this film inspirational.
But in another more accurate way, you'd also have to call it
pretty boring.
Moog Cookbook's lat~st attempt is unappetizing
by Meegan Thompson
Listening to The Moog Cookbook's newly released Ye
Olde Space Bande is like connecting a Nintendo to a stereo
system and cringing with each leap of Super Mario. It's
like fingernails scratching down a blackboard, like hearing
cats in heat in the alley behind your house when you're
trying to sleep. You get the idea. It's just not a pleasant
experience .
As Arts Editor for the Piolog, I am privileged in that I
am often deluged with mail (which makes up for the lack
of it in my personal LC box), including movie passes and
CDs. This has its perks, of course, even if it just means that
I get the thrill of opening several envelopes in one sitting.
It also has the potential to be dangerous , as it proved to be
recently when I thought that the cover of Ye Olde Space
Band "looked cool." forty-four seconds of electronic covers of such classics as
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama ," Led Zeppelin's
"Whole Lotta Love," and KISS' "Rock 'n' Roll All Night."
Admittedly , I am not a fan of these songs in their original
forms, but even listening to them with as much of an open
mind as possible in these circumstances was excruciatingly
painful.
COVER ART COURTESY OF RESTLESS RECORDS I ambled back to my cozy room in Copeland and popped
the sucker into the CD player. Screech! Boom-da -boom,
screech! Quickly plugging in my headphones out of cour­
tesy to my neighbors, I endured forty-three minutes and When the last note abruptly ended, bringing to mind the
disturbing image of a dying frog, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I had made it. If it weren't for the prospect of the infamous
fifty-dollar fine, I'd have chucked this pathetic attempt of
music out the window. Trying to describe the pl:'lsating
rhythms of the Moog's latest effort would be pointless, as
one is only able to truly experience the pain by actually
listening to it all the way through. Needless to say, I'd rec­
ommend focusing your energy on more important issues,
such as making sure that your toenails are nicely clipped
and filling out comment cards in the Bon when you feel
strongly about what was served for dinner. Just skip Ye Olde
Space Bande and pretend that it doesn't exist.
Two days is a nap not a break
... nap time, from page 5
to be spending at least three hours doing .
homework . In other words, if you take a
standard 16 credit course load you should
be spending 48 hours a week doing
homework. (If anyone actually manages to
do this please call the science department,
you're needed for an experiment on anal
behavior.) With a workload like that, not
to mention all the other little stresses of
college living, it's a wonder that more
people on this campus don't go postal.
Our minds, like our bodies, need rest
occasionally. I have three major papers
and a couple of tests lined up right after
we return from Thanksgi ving. Either I
spend all four days of my Thanksgiving
break romantically attached to my
computer, or my grades suffer. Some vacation.
I understand that the school wants to
maintain the length of its Christmas break
so that foreign students can have a chance
to visit their families, too. So leave
Christmas alone. We have an enormous
summer break. How evil would it be to
cut three days off summer and give us a
week for Thanksgiving? Better yet,
eliminate fall break, cut a week off
summer and give us two weeks at Thanks­
giving. The new break could begin the
week before Thanksgiving and would give
overseas students enough time to head
home as well.
So please, if you're an administration
God hearing this little plea, be kind. Give
us what we need. "Don't tease us," says
Senior Abra Ancliffe. One day, even two,

morning rush. Nothing better than taking a
mostly empty plane on Thursday for your
journey home.
Also, Thanksgiving break, as everyone
knows, is by some freak occurrence,
magnetic with regard to paper assign­
ments and tests which all accumulate and
focus on those days when we return.
Elimination of the "off time" would allow
professor s the leeway to distribute work in
a more varied manner.
Personally, I like to have a really set
schedule. It is nice to know exactly what I
can expect from an upcoming week.
Vacation time like Fall break and Thanks­
giving throws a spanner in my internal
schedule. The break acts like a two second
blackout, switching all of our reasoning skills off momentarily, and severely
damaging the mental schedules we have
set up. Getting rid of this nonsense would
allow for us to promote mental stability on
campus.
And while we are at it, what is spring
break for? Let's get rid of this ridiculous
concept. Put that ten days onto Christmas!
Then Jewish families can better celebrate
Hanukkah , we can really party on New
Year's, and we can avoid the painful
Oregon winters (OK, so the latter is lousy
for Wisconsin residents).
Administrator s, give us what we need.
Less breaks, and longer ones. Let's avoid
these little snippets which only serve to
further pull people away from their
studies. I like the idea of December
off ... that's not a break-it's a holiday.
Oaober 31, 19?7 Pioneer Log 9 World Series finale
one for the ages
• by Colin Ryono
believe in the Church of Baseball.
And any fellow baseball fan that was fortu­
nate enough to see game seven of the World
Series between the Cleveland Indians and
the Florida Marlins will now undoubtedly
stand in line to renew his membership in this
Church.
They will also certainly agree with me
that this game was one for the ages.
To summarize, the Florida Marlins tri­
umphed over the Cleveland Indians in seven
games to become the 1997 Baseball World
Champions, the quickest expansion team to
do so in baseball history.
The Indians were ahead 2 to 0 through
most ofthe game, but the Marlins came back
to send it to extra innings.
Then, in the bottom of the eleventh, with
two outs up on the board and with the bases
loaded, a shortstop, a mortal man named
Edgar Renteria, cracked a line drive into
center field, just beyond the reach of the
pitcher to drive home Craig Counsell from
third and win the game for the Marlins.
There was laughter and screams. There
were tears and silence. There were smiles
and grown men kissing one another. And
there were backs turned indignantly and
expressions of stunned disbelief.
It became a game of
endurance, a game to see who
would make the first mistake, to
see which pitcher would let the
ball leave his hand with the
wrong speed or to see which
batter would see '·'his pitch."
There was Jim Leyland, a manager who
has spent more than thirty years in the game
yet had yet to experience glory anything
close to this magnitude, running around the
field, holding up the "number one" finger
to the fans of Miami and screaming his grati­
tude up at them.
This was a game that somehow was able
to tear at my insides while warming my heart
at the same time.
Never before have I experienced such a
single entire game that could made my heart
pound against my ribs so hard. When the
game went into extra innings, my mind ex­
ploded, as I knew and everyone in that sta­
dium knew that it could all end so very
quickly now.
It became a game of endurance, a game
to see who would make the first mistake, to
see which pitcher would let the ball leave
his hand with the wrong speed or to see
which batter would see "his pitch." It be­
came a win-or-die situation, where the "to­
morrow" was several months away.
This is why I love baseball. This is why I
love sports. I love it because that night I sat
alone by myself watching the Florida man­
ager Jim Leyland run around the field, half
crying and half laughing, and feeling some­
thing that I doubt words can fully express.
I love it because of the pictures from the
Clevela'nd bench, those who had to lose for
there to be a winner, reflecting quiet re­
strained sadness.
This was baseball at its finest; for this
game to be this way: so dramatic, so emo­
tional, So human.
I defy those of you who dislike sports
and baseball to not see how this singular
game truly expressed fully the heart-rend 7 '
ing human drama of athletic competition .
But I am here to let you know, as a de­
voted member of the Church of Baseball,
that this was one for the ages. Sports

Linfield shuts out LC
by David Kolek
The Lewis & Clark Pioneers were beaten
49-0 by the Linfield College Wildcats in
McMinnville on Oct. 25.
The Pioneers, coming off an impressive
34-0 shutout victory against the University
of Puget Sound the previous week, simply
could not muster any offense in this con­
test.
Linfield got off to an early start and never
looked back against LC. Wildcats' quarter­
back Brian Higgins ran an efficient 3-minute
drive which culminated in an eight-yard
touchdown scamper from runningback
Brandon Flood.
Flood would score four touchdowns in
the first half as the Cats built a 35-0 lead.
The Wildcats added two more touch­
downs in the second half to reach the final
score of 49-0.
The bright spots on the LC side offen­
sively came from Jesse Ortiz and Aaron
Schmidt. Ortiz ran for a game-high 125
yards on 19 carries, with one fumble.
Schmidt caught five passes for 51 yards on
the day.
On the defensive side of the football,
Beau Lehnerz had 9 tackles and teammate
Koko Hunt added 8 more.
LC freshman quarterback Drew Jordan had a tough day against the Linfield defense.
He completed 8 of 17 passes for 71 yards
and had two interceptions . The Pioneers
only managed 145 yards of total offense for
the game.
Despite this setback in what has been an
exceptional freshman year, Jordan is still
ranked second in the NCIC in passing, av­
eraging just less than 200 yards a game this
season.
Ortiz ranks first in the NCIC in all-pur­
pose yardage at this point in the season with
a staggering total of 1477 yards for the sea­
son, an average of 211 yards per game.
Schmidt and teammate Casey Easterly
rank third and fourth respectively among
NCIC receiving leaders.
Linfield's victory continued a streak of
21 straight victories over LC which dates
back to 1973.
The Pioneers saw their record in the
NCIC drop to 1-3, while Linfield improved
to 2-1.
The Pioneers have just two games left in
the 1997 season.
They play their final home game of the
season this Saturday, Nov. I, at I pm at
Griswold Stadium.
They close out the season the following
weekend when they meet Eastern Oregon

game at LC
by David Kolek
The Lewis & Clark football team plays
its final home game of the 1997 season this
Saturday, Nov. I at Griswold Stadium.
This game signals the end of the football
careers of eight talented seniors who have
contributed greatly to the last four football
seasons for LC.
The seniors are: defensive back David
McLain, linebacker Beau Lehnerz, tight end
Casey Easterly, running back Jesse Ortiz,
linebacker Jeremy Cox, linebacker Joe
Davis, defensive end Ben McKinley and
offensive lineman Travis Christian .
All of these players have been depend­
able contributors to the Pioneer cause. Head
coach Chuck Solberg, offensive coordina­
tor Mike Fanger, and defensive coordinator
Gerald McEldowney will be hard pressed
to replace their hustle, experience and tal­
ent.
The staff remembered unique qualities of
each player.
"Dave McLain has a lot offun when he's
playing football. He's got tremendous
strength for his size and is always around
the football," McEldowney said.
McEldowney noted that, "Beau
[Lehnerz] is one of the toughest guys on the
team and thrives off physical play."
Of Casey Easterly, it was said that he was
a very versatile player that was always ready
to compete.
When asked about Jesse Ortiz, Fanger
responded, "Jesse Ortiz is one of the best
all-around players in recent Lewis & Clark
history."
Jeremy Cox is known as the heart of the
LC defense. "He reads blocking patterns
extremely well and has a great nose for the
ball.
McEldowney remembered Joe Davis, a
starter and major contributor on special
teams as, "the type of athlete that coaches
appreciate. He will do anything that will help
his team."
"Ben [McKinley] is a team-oriented
player and shows a lot of class on the field."
The final senior, Travis Christian, has
been a starter for three seasons for the Pio­
neers. "Travis is an excellent leader, has a
great personality and is a good guy to have
in the locker room," said Fanger.
These seniors, representing a core on
both the offensive and defensive side of the
football will be difficult to replace.

10 Pioneer Log October 3 I, I 997 Severed skin spurts blood everywhere
-Sports Editorial: Pondering the
horrors that can result at the
height of competition.
by David Kolek
'Tis the season to be scary, even in sports.
As Halloween approached this week, I found
myself buried deep in thought about the
scariest things I had ever witnessed in the
world of sports.
Close your eyes for a moment, and try to
think of your own worst memory while I
share a few of my own.
The first thing that came to my mind was
the infamous compound fracture suffered by
quarterback Joe Theisman on Monday night
football.
No one who heard
that game, and I repeat connected to his body, or perhaps his foot
no longer had bone supporting it.
Let's switch sports now, and let the hor­
rors continue!
When I was in high school I saw a bas­
ketball player go up to dunk a basketball and
catch the meat of his finger on the rim.
When gravity pulled him back down, the
skin of his entire ring finger stayed on the
rim. Oh, the blood that was spilled on the
court that day!
So this is all fun and games to you truly
macabre people out there? How would you
like a little murder and mayhem?
Somewhere in Europe a hockey player
was' literally killed when an opposing player
jabbed the player with his stick in the chest,
collapsing his rib
cage.
Anyone re­
heard, will ever forget
it.
The sound of his
leg literally fracturing
in half echoed gro­
tesquely across the air­
waves. "I will also never forget seeing
the blood, seeping through his
white uniform, from where the member the trag­
eqy at a soccer

people were killed

through his fragile skin." Innocent sports
fans, many of
them children,
were mangled as others trampled their pros­
trate and suffocating bodies. I will also never
forget seei ng the
blood, seeping
through his white uniform, from where the
bone had undoubtedly burst through his
fragile skin.
In that same vein, no pun intended, Tim
Crumrie's unfortunate fate in the 1989 Su­
per Bowl is a notable horror story. Early on
in the game, Crumrie's leg was mangled
during a routine play.
The replay showed in agonizing detail
his ankle flopping around in directions that
defied logic.
It looked as if his shoe was no longer

@ Champoeg State Park Nov. 1 11 am The nature of Poekoelan, the martial art practiced by many LC students,
is generally in stark opposition to the violence described in this article.
blood-spurting incident of a different color.
This friend was barreling down a snowy
hill with reckless abandon when she collided
head-on with another skier.
She awoke in a gushing pool of her own
blood. The crimson flood soaked into an
ever-expandin,& stain on the pure Colorado
powder.
With every beat of her heart, more blood
pumped from her severed veins. . With every torn ligament, every severed
tendon, the body count increases. The hor­
ror mounts with each new grotesque injury
and every new collapsing bone.
Good luck Trick-or-Treating this week­
end and if you plan on participating in any
sport: beware!
You could become the next victim and
spend the rest of your life in agonizing pain,
regretting you ever got out of bed!
Women's golf swings into action
by David Kolek
The Lewis & Clark women's team has
been dodging raindrops since their season
began in September .
Yet, they have ignored the bad weather
and managed to put together an impressive
record thus far.
The Pioneers took part in the South Con­
ference Tournament on Sept. 29 and Sept.
30.
The tournament, which took place at
Michelbook Country Club, also involved
Linfield College, Pacific University and
Willamette University.
The LC aggregate team score was 368
for the first day of the tournament. Individu­
ally Jody Merz pulled with an even 100,
Lindsay Paquay finished with 111 and Kaya Stone closed out with 157.
LC was in third place after one day of
action.
On the second day the Pioneers could not
field enough players and thus they were
forced to forfeit. Merz finished that day with
106 and Stone brought her second day total
down to 153 over eighteen holes.
On Oct. 8, LC played Linfield in a dual
match at Michelbook Country Club, but the
match was rained out after only three holes.
Although LC was leading in all three
matches before rain, the tournament will not
be rescheduled until the spring.
On Oct. 13, LC met Pacific University
at the Oswego Lake Country Club. LC
stunned the conference champions of a year
ago by ending the match in a tie.
