KLC burglarized, station off air
by Jeremy Brown
Sometime between last Friday night and just before
four p.m. Saturday, someone entered the KLC radio
studio and stole the station's 2oo-disc CD changer and
two turntables and apparently damaged the station's
I8-disc changer. Before the burglary, the 200-disc
changer was broken and in disuse, but steps were be­
ing taken to repair it.
KLC General Manager Zachary Taschdjian said the
Whoever stole this didn't
just steal it from the
station, they stole it from
the whole LC community.
Zachary Taschdjian
KLC General Manager stolen equipment
was worth $2500
and that it "com­
prised the entire
body of our
broadcast abil­
ity."
The station
has not been
broadcasting
since the theft
and doesn't plan to resume shows until until next week
at the earliest.
"Whoever stole this didn't just steal from the sta­
tion, they stole from the whole LC community,"
Taschdjian said. The equipment was paid for by the
ASLC budget, which comes from student fees. .
"It's very unfortunate someone would take advan­
tage of the whole student body," Dean of Students
Michael Ford said.
Taschdjian and Ford both characterized the theft as
a "crime of opportunity" because only a few select
items were taken and there was no evidence of break­
ing and entering.
KLC Music Director Murray Cizon said he doubts
a DJ burglarized the station because the entire station
staff knew the 2oo-disc CD changer was broken and it
would have been a waste of their time to take it. "But
I am of the opinion a student did this," he said. "It was
someone who was somewhat familiar with the equip-PHOTO BY BIBI TUCKER
Murray Cizon, Music Director and Travis Southworth-Neumeyer of KlC radio
ment."
In order to recoup funds necessary to replace the
equipment, KLC is relying on Adviser Stuart Kaplan's
help and creative fundraising. Elektra Records already
donated promotional materials- to KLC, including an
autographed Bjork CD. Cizon said the station plans to
raffle or sell the CDs for money.
According to Campus Safety Director Bill Curtin,
it is difficult to investigate a crime of this nature. "Un­
less we get information from somebody, there's an in­
vestigation but it's too wide open," he said. "These
people are probably going to get away with this." Taschdjian urged anyone with information about the
theft to contact Campus Safety.
KLC is now working with Campus Safety, particu­
larly with Officer Charles Knapp, on security issues to
prevent future thefts. "There will be a lot of changes at
KLC," Taschdjian said. "We're going to be a lot more
stringent." The station is already rekeying its doors and
monitoring its key inventory.
Curtin urged all student groups to avoid a casual
attitude toward security in light of the KLC theft.
"That's the lesson to be learned here," he said.
Master plan organization underway
by Evan Elken
The Master Plan Project, Lewis & Clark's grand
scheme for renovations over the next decade, was dis­
cussed in detail at a forum in the Agnes Flanagan
Chapel on Tuesday.
As opposed to last week's public hearing in the
Council Chamber covering the proposal for a new park-
Date to remember:
November 25 the parking
lot proposal goes to
Portland City Council.
Interested students are
welcome to attend and give
their suggestions. ing lot next to
the softball
field at the
Huston com­
plex, the
Master Plan
as a whole
was outlined
in some de­
tail.
Most of
the current
dormitories
are slated for the wrecking ball. Platt-Howard,
Hartzfeld , Forest, Stewart, and Odell will all be re­
placed with new dorms and apartments . The apartments
will be intended to attract upperclassmen, being avail­
able to them exclusively. The plan will increase the
total beds on campus by 440.
New facilities such as coffee shops and dry clean­
ing will be brought to campus, and if that doesn't bring
more students, the idea of a third year residency re­
quirement is under consideration. More students living on campus will reduce the
amount of traffic in and out of the premises and also
reduce pollution from such moving about.
There are" to be large-scale changes to the on-cam­
pus parking situation. All of the 'spaghetti ' style park­
ing will be done away with. To pick up the slack, a
parking structure will be built directly behind Pamplin
where the tennis bubble now stands. There will be an­
other structure where Physical Plant stands currently,
and underground parking in the locale of Platt-Howard,
with new living arrangements above the garage.
The philosophy behind the new parking setup is to
make LC a pedestrian campus. Cars will no longer be
weaving around campus scrambling for parking spaces.
An open-air amphitheater w.i11 take the place of the
parking lot behind Templeton, and Templeton itself will
be replaced by something called the Student Union
serving essentially the same purpose.
The Law School stands to benefit from the Plan as
well. An extension of the Library's east side is on the
drawing board. This extension will cut into the forest
adjacent to the library.
A large recreation area will be created on the land
directly north of Griswold Stadium. It will provide
ample open fields for use by the students, something
which LC has forever lacked. Many trees would be
cleared to bring this part of the plan to fruition. Also, a
slice of the land for the recreation area is labeled as
protected land.

town Portland. Members of Jobs with Justice,
Justice-Do It Nike, and other progressive groups
joined to voice their protest against Nike's ex­
ploitation of workers in Indonesia, Vietnam and

There was an automobile accident behind Stewart
which only involved a neighbor of the college. The
neighbor backed their vehicle down the embankment
into the back iQf Stewart Hall.
Campus Safety received a complaint of a marijuana
smell coming from a room in Spruce Hall. A film case
with a bud of marijuana was tumed over to Campus
Safety. The marijuana was placed in an evidence locker.
A report was taken and copies were tumed over to Resi­
denceLife .

. Campus Safety observed approx. five LC students
drinking alcohol on the Gate 1 road while watching the
football game. Students were asked to dump the alcohol
and were escorted into the game. One student refused to
comply with the alcohol policy. A report was written
and a copy was forwarded to Residence Life.
Stude:nts share research at poster conference
by Dan Meliza
The scene in Olin Lounge at 7 pm on Wednesday,
Oct. 15, was not the usual quiet array of students prepar­
ing for their next physics or chemistry exam. Posters
bearing titles like "Distribution and Dynamics of tPN
GFP Transport in PC 12 cells," were set up on easels in
the center of the room; at least 50 students, alumni, fac­
ulty, and staff were there, talking in small groups gath­
ered around each of the posters. President Michael
Mooney, Dean Jane Atkinson, and several donors made
their appearance at about 7:45.
The event was Lewis & Clark's second annual Poster
Conference, an opportunity for students who engaged in
scientific research over the summer to share their find­
ings with the college community. Much of the research
presented was conducted at LC, using funding from the
Murdock Charitable Trust. This fund, among its other
endeavors , supplies money to small colleges to support
undergraduate research. Other posters were presented by
students who did their research at institutions or in the
field elsewhere in the nation or the world.
Posters are something of a cross between an art dis­
play and a formal research paper; they usually have col­
orful pictures and diagrams arranged to explain the re­
sults of the research, as well as sections of text that detail
the questions that the researcher is attempting to answer. Poster conferences also place considerable emphasis on
verbal presentation to people with a wide spectrum of
familiarity with the subject of the research. Each of the
students presenting at the LC poster conference was on
hand for half of the event to answer questions and to
explain his or her research-to anyone, from a physics
professor to a general chemistry student to Mooney or
Atkinson.
Professor of chemistry Evan Williams was excited
about the opportunities the poster conference provided
for an honest exchange of ideas. "This is genuine," he
said, a~d emphasized that students were engaged in the
real practice of science, not just discussing things they
learned in lectures.
The research projects varied significantly in empha­
sis and discipline, ranging from studying biological pro­
cesses, physics analysis, and chemical research designed
to reveal the structure of proteins.
Undergraduate research experience is becoming in­
creasingly important for students who plan to go to
medical or graduate school. But not everyone who pre­
sented a poster plans to follow these career paths. This
breadth of interest reflects the fact that far from being
merely an opportunity to become experienced in scien­
tific technique, research teaches people how to think
scientifically, how to look critically at data, and how to
cogently present difficult concepts. These are skills that
scientists should not be allowed to monopolize.

by Michael Folland
"Jacob, where did you get those divine shoes? You
look fabulous!" exclaimed Andy Holder, admiring Jacob
Blumer's beard, which complemented his silver mini
skirt, top and plastic grapes hanging from his sandals.
These two, along with other Lewis & Clark students,
dressed up in drag for croquet on Friday October 17 in
order to support National Coming Out Week.
Carry Diamond, the President of United Sexualities,
said the importance of the week is "for gays to become
more visible on campus. Also, to bring out visibility for
those that are straight but want to support gay people."
On Friday afternoon , many women came dressed in
suits, ties, and painted-on mustaches while men dressed
up' in dresses, skirts, wigs, and wore make-up . After play­
ing croquet, everyone had a chance to strut and show off
what they were wearing. PHOTO BY GINA KELLEY

In addition to drag croquet, there were also other
events that went on during the week in order to raise gay
awareness . On Wednesday an information table con­
tained brochures on gay support groups and organiza­
tions such as The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). On Thursday, the Straight But Not
Narrow talk gave students a chance to reflect on experi­
ences of being gay.
Jason Callahan , Resident Director and Unisex advi­
sor, feels this week was important because it gives people
a chance to see that homosexuals are the people who
you work with everyday.
One of the goals for National Coming Out Week is to
end some of the stereotypes that people have of homo-

The largest controversy still lies in the construc­
tion of the proposed parking lot, which is really just
an extension of the old lot, adjacent to the softball
field. The area is not only protected, but is home to a
small wetlands area and many trees.
Jane Atkinson has openly acknowledged that the
construction of this lot with such little notice to the
student body for debate is contradictory to the spirit
of an institution that prides itself on being environ­
mentalJy conscious and aware. However, many argue
that the twenty-five foot swath of land is insignificant
in comparison with the benefits of a 175 space lot. attended. The administrator of the event took respon­
sibility for the 'misfortune, attributing it to poor ad­
vertising. On the other hand, it nevertheless reflects
poorly upon the LC student body that such a pressing
issue with direct effects upon their well-being is all
but ignored.
There was a strong sentiment among those attend­
ing that another similar Master Plan forum should be
held, with thorough advertising in advance, to inform
and gather opinions from the LC students.
On November 25, the parking lot proposal will go
to the Portland City Council. Students should attend
if they wish to voice their opinion. sexuals. Melissa Rudd, a member of United Sexualities
and Lesbian Avengers, said, "The only way to break
down stereotypes is to discuss labels and sexuality. There­
fore, it's important to talk to parents and friends and to
come out in order to make the world know that not ev­
eryone is heterosexual and stereotypes don't hold true."
According to Sierra Hutchinson, "Sexuality isn't
about who you're sleeping with, its about who you are
willing to care about and devote yourself to."

Senior lecturer: A recipe for stratification?
by Dan Meliza
One of the less noticeable changes in this year's cata­
log is the appearance in the list of faculty of a new title,
"Senior Lecturer." It replaces in part a number of rather
unwieldy titIes, from "visiting assistant professor" and
"lecturer in the College," and actually represents a new
class of employment at Lewis & Clark. However, the
creation of this new employment category may have
implications beyond the need for these faculty to order
new business cards.
"Trust has been given them to teach.
They should be
given the same status as tenure-track
faculty." .
Elliott Young
Assist. Professor of History
The title of "visiting assistant professor" was espe­
cially unwieldy in light of the fact that it was being ap­
plied to people who had been teaching at the college for
over a decade. Prefixing "visiting" to a title meant that
the faculty member was not in a tenure-track position,
but it failed to address the difference between profes­
sors who are actually visiting and faculty who are here
in a more permanent capacity.
In response to this discrepancy, the creation of the
position of Senior Lecturer was undertaken last year by
the Academic Council. Persons holding the title of "Lec­
turer" are now eligible after five years to become Senior
Lecturers. Like tenure-track faculty, they will be re­
viewed every other year for salary increases.
David Savage, Dean of Arts and Humanities, re-marked that the position of Senior Lecturer was created,
"to provide recognition and a more regular way of evalu­
ating faculty who are teaching primarily in the arts. We
wanted to recognize that in the arts, frequently the best
teacher in that art or craft is not a Ph.D."
However, the full implications of ' this new employ­
ment category did not corne to light until the issue of
voting rights was considered!. Currently only tenure-track
professors have voting rights at faculty meetings. At this
year's first faculty meeting, Savage made a motion to
extend the vote to Senior Lecturerers.
In the process of debatin,g this motion, it became evi­
dent that there was concern that the College may have
created not merely a single employment category, but a
"Senior Lecturer track" thatt runs parallel to the tenure
track. This is a critical consideration, given the nation­
wide trend in higher education toward hiring temporary
faculty instead of filling tenure-track positions .
Assistant professor of history Elliott Young has a
unique perspective on this, having been appointed to a
tenure-track position just this year. At the faculty meet­
ing he raised the point that the Senior Lecturer position
may institutionalize this trend toward stratification. "Glo­
bally, academia is increasing the number of temporary
and adjunct faculty. This creates a two-tiered system
where some people are paid more and have greater job
security," he later said in an iinterview. He also mentioned
that only about 30 percent of higher education faculty
nationwide are tenure-track:.
"I arrived. 2 months ago ,and I can vote," Young said.
"People who have been hene 12 years can't vote. This is
absurd." He emphasized that giving the vote to Senior
Lecturers is important, but that it fails to address the real
issue of stratification.
"Trust has been given t!hem to teach," he said, and
felt that this ought to be retle:cted not only in voting rights
but in equitable pay and job security. "They should be given the same status as tenure-track faculty."
Richard Rohrbaugh, professor of religious studies,
also feels that the issue of voting rights is a side issue,
until the faculty have clarity on what the new category
means. "These people exist," he said. "Giving them sta­
tus and voting rights recognizes this. But the other side
is that it creates a two-tiered faculty."
Rohrbaugh recognizes the practical aspects of the
existence of non-tenure-track faculty. "In the best of all
worlds, we would move all positions to tenure-track. But
we probably cannot do without these totally. They allow
[the college] to expand and contract. The unfortunate
thing would be to use the category as an excuse not to
hire a tenure-track professor."
At the faculty meeting, President Mooney echoed this
concern. "It's awfully dangerous," he said, "to get in the
position of accepting two kinds of [faculty]."
Savage emphasized, however, that a Senior Lecturer
track will not be created outside the arts later noting,
"It's not intended to created a tier of second-class citi­
zens, but rather to move in the opposite direction ."
When asked about Chana Cox and Susan Kirschner,
two individuals outside the arts who now have the title
of Senior Lecturer, Savage said that they were given that
title to recognize many years of teaching at the college.
He emphasized that no future hires outside the arts will
be in the Senior Lecturer category.
Chana Cox, senior lecturer in humanities, said she
was unaware of the discussion over voting rights. She
feels that the classification of Senior Lecturer "is some
acknowledgment that we are a permanent part of the fac­
ulty. If anything this seems to be a move toward democ­
racy." She also emphasized that faculty stratification al­
ready exists throughout academia, and if anything, LC
has made enormous steps toward equity by recognizing
the commitment of non-tenure-track faculty and treat­
ing them with full salaries and benefits.
October 24, 1997 Pioneer Log 3 ~~~ Forum
Lewis & Clark: breeding slack babies?
• Slackers need to stop their
complaining
commentary by Judy Zawatzky
Slackerdom -we have all been there.
However, the extent to which the fog of
slack enshrouds the college appears to be
slightly out of control.
Except for those lucky stude nts blessed
by the fairy of "Never-ending financial
aid," most of us pay a hefty sum to attend
to this place of higher education. For this
reason, the phenomenon of not studying
or being unprepared for class boggles the
mind. Sure, the unexpected does happen.
Big tests and papers definitely have a way
of sucking vast amounts of time. We all
slack sometimes. When an entire class is
slacking though, things are getting out of
hand.
Here is my biggest beef -students
who do not do their homework and then
have the gall to complain all through class
that the course is too hard. The atmosphere
of the class becomes strained with anger
and frustration. Thankfully , there is a
simple cure for this frustration. Guess
what? The odds are that if you do the work
and prepare for class, the class will not
seem as difficult as it once did.
Further complicating the situation, it
is completely disrespectful to the profes­
sor and other students to waste time on
covering material that should have already
been studied. Why should the rest of us
to sit through the ranting and complain­
ing of those who slack? Ideally, class
should be spent covering new material or working with, and
expanding upon,
studied material.
To put it another
way, we pay about
$400 per semester
credit. Why on earth then would
one not study? Make the most of
your payments. Cash in education­
ally on these exorbitant fees.
Maybe you are an English ma­
jor and couldn't give a darn about
that lab science course required by
the college. You probably put more
study time into actual areas of in­
terest than the lab class. Fine, just don't
bog down the class with questions that can
easily be found by doing the reading.
While the trend in slacking is pretty
understand able with required classes (but
certainly not in Inventing America), the
fact that it happens in 300-level courses
is bizarre. (Granted, to fully participate
in the liberal arts education students
should not slack in the required courses,
but there are only so many hours in a day.)
Presumably , by the time a student is
taking a 300-level course, he or she is
probably taking it for a major or a minor.
To take this presumption one step further,
one would guess that students tend to en­
joy the classes taken for the major. So
then, why not do the work?
We are students. Our job is learning.
Numerous other activities clutter our time
and vie for our attention, but, as students,
our studies come first.
If you are going to slack, don't com­
plain. • Slackers
act as
comic relief
in class
commentary by
Linsel Greene
Slackers --They have ar­
rived, and are here in ful\
force. Protect your children,
hide the family dog, and make
sure that you turn your TV s
off, or they'll end up sitting
on your couch watching Scooby-Doo .
Nothing makes me smile like a whole
class which is, after a Mystery Science
Theatre 3000 marathon weekend, com­
pletely unprepared for any sort of ratio­
nal discussion. The best thing about it is
watching these people squirm about,
dodging questions and trying to present
an image of togetherness.
It is truly enjoyable to watch both sides
of this ridiculous tirade. The slackers com­
plain about work being too difficult, even
though they haven't opened their books.
I have news for you, it gets harder when
you actually do work. For al\ those hard­
working students who actually read all of
the material Partovi assigned over the
weekend and get their well-deserved "A­
" on their papers, think of the slacking of
your comrades as an opportunity to ex­
press your exceptional knowledge of the
topic.
I enjoy the rantings of slackers as a
mid-class break, allowing me to better for­interlude, much like the numerous clowns
and porters of Shakespearean tragedy, act
as comic relief for my otherwise banal
classes. Ideally, these "students," for lack
of a better term, would talk themselves
into corners more often, stating opinions
diametrically opposed to the literature we
are supposed to be reading, and being
called on it by professors . Nothing in­
creases my respect for a professor more
than when s/he asks a student a question
like, "Have you been listening at all?'' or
"Have you even bought this book?"
My personal favorite is when students
are actively insulted, especially by other
students. Nothing like a session of class
spent laughing at a student's expense.
I can understand why upperclassmen
in high level courses avoid work. They
usualJy know this material backwards and
forwards anyway. They have done their
hard time already. In a sense, it is their
right to do so. When incoming freshman,
in 100 level courses pretend like they
know what they are talking about, I get
angry. The little sports haven't got the
sense to tie their own shoes.
I like to look at these people and laugh.
Usually the people who are slackers are
not capable of reading the material as­
signed anyway, and if they did they would
get virtualIy nothing from it, so why
bother reading it at all?

This humorous For these "higher-than-thou" students
who feel that the entire world is centered

also paid his fee, and has as much right to
speak as you. The question on everyone's
mind is, "What are you here forT' I'm

http://www .lclark.edu/ -piolog Coverage of crew van
accident inaccurate
I write in response to the October 17
front page Pioneer Log story written by
Michael Folland. The story contained
some inaccurate information, particularly
regarding the alleged mechanical problem
with the steering, and it did not mention
that the roads were wet and that the acci­
dent happened on the Terwilliger curves,
a very dangerous part of Interstate 5.
Furthermore, the writer did not attempt
to get the complete story, as he did not
interview anyone from Campus Safety,
Facilities Services, the crew team coaches,
the Athletic Department, or myself.
We are all grateful that no one was in­
jured and that students returned safely to
campus.
Inspection of the vehicle maintenance
records shows that on August 15, 1997,
the vehicle involved in this accident (P-
9) received new brakes, replacement of
the right front tire, balancing of all tires,
and a front end alignment. No problems
with the front end or steering components
were noted at that time. P-9 passed its
safety check conducted by the van pool
maintenance technician on September 19.
It is the policy of Facilities Services
that no vehicle exhibiting an unsafe con­
dition will be used until the unsafe condi­
tion is corrected. Inspection ofP-9 vehicle
driver comment cards shows no uncor­
rected unsafe condition.
After the accident, the van pool main­
tenance technician inspected the vehicle.
Accident damage was apparent, though
there appeared to be no obvious problem
with the front end or steering. A report
from Russ Chevrolet stated that no prob­
lem was found with the front end or steer­
ing components. Damage incurred to the
vehicle during the accident consisted of
body dents, front end misalignment, and
tire shredding.
On Thursday, October 9, I convened a
meeting with staff members to discuss
several issues prompted by this accident.
We talked about a number of issues re­
lated to van use. Among these issues are
the following:
I. Steps in place to insure ongoing van
maintenance. 2. Procedures for student
clearance , training, and certification. 3.
Extent of van use by student groups, var­
sity athletics, academic programs, club
sports, college outdoors and residence
halls 4. Role of coaches/advisors related
to driving of vans. 5. Accident protocols
for administrative response. 6. Procure­
ment of new vans/replacement of fleet!
timelines 7. Cost of van use and implica­
tions for users.
Among the ideas we discussed are the
following:
* Reduce the number of authorized van
drivers from over 400 to a much smaller
and more manageable group.
* Authorize drivers only after manda­
tory "behind the wheel" training, in addi­
tion to current clearance through Campus
Safety and video training through Occu­
pational Health and Safety.
* Review van training programs in
place at other institutions which share
similar transportation challenges .
* Create a pool of trained and cer­
tified student drivers independent of
those student drivers affiliated with
specific clubs or organizations.
We have wrestled with the issue
of providing adequate transportati on
for College sponsored programs .
The College has dedicated addi­
tional resources this year to upgrade
the van pool with new vehicles.
We take seriously the many is­
sues raised by this recent accident, Letters to the editor
and we are concerned uppermost with the
safety and welfare of the college commu­
nity as they travel to and from College
sponsored activities ..
We welcome your ideas and sugges­
tions. Please contact me directly at x7115
or email me at mford.

Learning difference,
not disability
Last week's Pioneer Log article "LC
Language Waiver Spawns Controversy"
was slanted and did not speak fairly for
students who have a learning disability . I
completely disagree with using the word
"disability" for students who simply learn
differently and who struggle in a class­
room setting that focuses on certain styles
of learning. This word reaps negative con­
notations that spur controversies like this
one regarding the language waiver.
For those who think that students are
using this as a cop-out please ask your­
selves, who in the world would like to la­
bel themselves with such a term intention­
ally? This term has to be used is so that
students can legally receive the type of
learning that is suitable and equally legiti­
mate for themselves.
While the article accurately expressed
my positive attitude on the issue it failed
to mention my struggle. I feel responsible
for expressing the other side because the
article focused on me (although I was not
aware that it would). Instructor of Span­
ish Cecilia Benenati was quoted as say­
ing, "If [a student] doesn't study very
much and doesn't pay attention, maybe it
will pass as a disability." With an over­
seas trip depending on my grade in my
French III class I guarantee that I studied
very hard and I paid attention in class. But
because these efforts were not evident on
tests I was probably perceived to be the
type of student that Benenati described.
(Please note that even though I had to
withdraw from the Nancy program I cre­
ated my own overseas trip to France that
following summer. I spoke French every
day, not perfectly but decently. I am ca­
pable of learning a foreign language.)
Also, Robert Sternberg, professor of
psychology and education at Yale.
Sternberg said that the foreign language
waiver was "extra credit for doing poorly"
(grrrrrr). I do not see this waiver as less­
ening Lewis and Clark's educational stan­
dards in any way.
After my confidence waned into a
transparent mist and my image of myself
as a completely inadequate student devel­
oped into a nightmare, I reached a break­
ing point. My other classes had also
slipped because of the immense amount
of time that I was dedicating to French. I
reached an all time low emotionally and
academically. This was when I was tested
for a learning difference and, not surpris­
ingly, I was diagnosed with one.
I would like people to realize how posi­
tive the effects of this testing can be. The
results isolated some specific areas where
I learn differently and now that the areas
have been pinpointed I have found ways
to work around them and with them. I deserve this education and I deserve to
have my needs met just like everyone else,
even if that means that I need to go about
it by using different methods.
We are meant to learn in different ways
and we are meant to express what we have
learned in different ways and that is one
of the most deeply and simply beautiful
characteristics of education.

ASLC is aiming to
provide soap
This semester, the issue of soap in the
residence halls has risen again. In an at­
tempt to address this pressing issue, we
at ASLC have taken it upon ourselves to
resolve this issue in a timely manner.
It is our view that it is not the respon­
sibility of ASLC to provide soap for the
halls. However, to facilitate the need for
immediate action and due to the lack of
response in past years, ASLC has decided
to fund the purchase of soap from the
Residence Halls for the immediate future,
if no other means are available.
There are four reasons that ASLC rec­
ognizes a need to address the issue of soap
in the Residence Halls:
I. In all four Hall Councils, the issue
of soap has received unilateral support
from the residents.
2. The lack of community soap dis­
pensers in the Residence Halls is a sani­
tary issue. We are concerned for the health
and safety of the LC community.
3. Some residence halls or floors cur­
rently have handheld soap dispensers.
These are provided by the RAs, through
either student fees, Hall Council funds,
or Residence Life's programming budget.
These are not the appropriate sources of
funding to provide soap. These funds are
intended for activities and programs to
further community spirit.
4. The position of the school in the past
has been that the residents should provide
their own soap. But stu­
dents who visit the
halls do not carry soap.
The majority of stu­
dents do not provide
their own soap, making
this rationale a failure.
We are confident the
school will create a
plan to provide for the
long term needs of the
students. Our concern
is for the immediate
need for soap in the
halls this semester. In
accomplishing our goal
of allowing the students
to practice adequate hy­
giene, we have re­
searched the most cost­
effective and quickest
options available.
ASLC believes that
soap needs to be placed
in the residence halls
now. However, to en-
able the school to re­
search and investigate
alternate options, we
will not implement the \bro.ndirJ purchase of soap immediately. This is in
the hope that a more appropriate source
of funding through traditional means can
be located in a timely manner. This also
allows time to pursue the bureaucratic
system of the school.
Speaking as elected representative of
the student body, I wish to extend our
thanks and appreciation to the staff ofLC
for the support they have given this is­
sue. We are confident that the adminis­
tration and staff will do all that is neces­
sary to address this pressing issue in such
a way that both our long and short terms
goals are met.

Christian Fellowship
apologizes
On October 2, Christian Fellowship
and the Chaplain's Office sponsored a
concert by Vision Africa, an African sing­
ing group. The event, held in Stamm, was
different than we expected .
The anticipated concert was to include
fifty minutes of African music and five
minutes detailing God's amazing work in
the band's life. Due to a communication
problem that is still very perplexing to us,
the band chose another musical program .
Christian Fellowship and the Chaplain'S
Office would like to apologize to anyone
who felt misled about this event. While
we affirm the gospel message these men
shared, we are sorry that the music ad­
vertised in the Bon, Trailroom and on our
posters was not presented.
For those who enjoyed the concert,
thank you for being open to a unique ex­
perience. We hope that everyone who
came appreciated the music and saw these
African musicians' enthusiasm for God.

October 24, 1997 Pioneer Log 5 Fe at u re S =========================:J
Door from Watzek leads to underworld
by Dante Goldsmith
I assume you've heard rumors of an
extensive tunnel system festering beneath
the campus. Perhaps an unreliable donn
neighbor of yours recounted a drunken
tale of intrigue that supposedly took place
deep within one of these mythological
subterranean passages.
I cannot vouch for the validity of such
debaucherous stories.
I can state, however, without an ounce
of uncertainty, that the tunnels do exist,
and their scope is extensive.
You instantly distrust such a boastful
statement as being equally unreliable,
until that is, you grasp my sober and de­
tailed account of a personal descent into
the Lewis & Clark catacombs .
It began on an innocent night of curi­
ous boredom atop Palatine Hill . The tan­
talizing possibility of seeing the band
Mourning Tuesday at the Plattfonn for the
eighth time was unpalatable to the group.
One person mentioned having access to a
key to the library and an interest in set­
tling the tunnel existence debate.
Just after midnight we entered the
Aubrey R. Watzek library secretly. Mo­
ments later we were in a pitch-black room
deep within the bowels of the library. The
only light in the room seeped from be­
neath an unmarked door. With our hearts
beating faster, we opened the door to re-veal a stairway.
The stairs led down.
The Watzek tunnel,
as I refer to it, is a nar­
row maintenance shaft
built to allow easy ac­
cess to the heating,
plumbing and electrical
systems of the building.
Enonnous pipes, some
heated to dangerous
temperatures by the wa­
ter running through
them, make traversing
the tunnel difficult for
the inflexible.
There are lights, but
these are only illumi­
nated when mainte­
nance workers are
within the structure.
Thus, flashlights prove
to be invaluable.
The entrance to the
tunnel in Watzek is ac­
tually a T-junction. In
one direction, the tunnel
leads down toward
Olin. It terminates,
however, where the old boiler room once
stood.
A fertile tract ofland now occUlpies this
area. The steam that diligent scie:nce stu­
dents have no doubt observed escaping
from a non-descript metal grating repre-marked door that every LC
athlete has unknowingly
passed at one time or an­
other.
The new humanities
buildings offer an equal
number of similar mainte­
nance tunnels, some even
larger and better illumi­
nated, which also tenninate
in Watzek.
Everyday you walk to
your classes atop a wonder­
ful cobblestone avenue of
education, you tread di­
rectly above the tunnels.
You walk unknowingly
past innocent doors in your
donns, gymnasium and li­
brary without the slightest
knowledge of the caverns
that lay just beyond.
These tunnels are a re­
ality. They offer the adven­
turous a new frontier to ex­
plore.
To a less noble extent
they offer the inebriate
ART BY AUBREY lYON denizens of this college a
sents the tunnel tenninus.
In the other direction, the tunnel slopes
upward to the Pamplin Sports Center. This
section has a 90 degree turn which tenni­
nates within the bowels of the building.
This is where we exited, through an un-secret forum to celebrate their own stu­
pidity.
These structures represent a subterra­
nean world that extends its cavernous na­
ture across the far reaches of the LC cam­
pus.
Nora Beck combines art and academia
by Katy Davidson
Synthesis seems to be a major theme
in Nora Beck's life.
The professor of music learned disci­
pline from playing basketball and passion
from playing piano as a child. Now, as a
teacher, she is known for combining art
with academia and encouraging students'
creative endeavors.
Beck's leave for sabbatical last semes­
ter, her approaching bid for tenure, and
her upcoming LC overseas trip to Lon­
don, have placed her under the latest spot­
light.
Beck said she always felt a part of the
academic world. She grew up in Queens,
New York, until she was ten, then moved
20 miles north of Manhattan to attend
Scarsdale Public High School.
"Growing up, teachers and teaching
were the most important things to me,"
Beck said. "I always wanted to learn."
She spread her desire for knowledge
beyond the doors of the regular classroom
and began taking piano lessons at age
seven with a teacher in New York City.
"My piano lessons were very impor­
tant to me, too," she said. "I felt it was a
place I could be expressive as a young
person. I tended to be quite shy and mu­
sic was a way to explore myself."
She said her mother originally wanted
her to be a pianist, so she arranged the
teachers and the lessons.
"She was a stage mother. .. she always
wanted me to perfonn and I was always
really shy. It was torture," Beck said.
The "torture" turned into a passion
eventually: Beck took lessons until she
was 25.
Beck also spent her childhood living
periodically in Italy with her family, and
discovering a'love for basketball.
"I felt this was all part of a tapestry I was becoming," she said.
She has been bilingual in Italian and
Engfish since her birth. Beck's mother is
Italian and her father, an art history pro­
fessor, spent his sabbatical in Italy when
she was a child. She said her father also
loved basket­
ball so he
taught her how
to play when
she was little.
Occasionally,
though, the
basketball and
piano lessons
became activi­
ties of conflict­
ing interest.
"I'd jam my
fingers during
basketball
sometimes and
I couldn't play
for my piano
teacher," she
said.
Beck said
her piano
teacher gave
her exercises
for the left hand
when she
jammed her
right wrist some time off. "I didn't want to be an aca­
demic at first because my father was an
academic and I didn't want to do the same
thing. I took some years off after I gradu­
ated from college," she said.
She originally got ajob as a secretary,
then another job
monitoring the
parts division at
the Fiat car com­
pany headquar­
ters.
After some
time in the real
world, Beck said,
"I really under­
stood what most
of America does
and how limiting
it felt to me."
She decided to
return. to her
schooling at Co­
lumbia Univer­
sity, where she re­
ceived her Ph.D.
once.
Beck played
four years of "The thing
about being an
academic is it's a
wonderful free­
dom. I felt like I
didn't have any
freedom in the 9
to 5 job. But it
gave me wonder­
ful perspective. PHOTO COURTESY OF NORA BECK

When every­
one was falling asleep in graduate semi­
nar, I was busy taking notes in the front
row with a big smile," she said. basketball at Barnard College, where she
was named a "Small School AlI-Ameri­
can in Division 3." She said that playing
basketball gave her self-disciplin,e. "
I've always felt that discipline is the
most important part of an education,"
Beck said.
After her run at Barnard, Beck took Beck said she generally encourages
students to take some time off before they
go back to school.
Now in her fifth year at LC, Beckjust
returned from a sabbatical to work on a collection of music and art in 14th-cen­
tury Padua, Italy, at the Newberry Library
in Chicago. She said she was able to "put
together a good chunk" of her latest
project. She also traveled to Padua for
three weeks last semester to complete
some on-site research.
"Singing in the Garden: Music and
Culture in the Tuscan Trecento," a book
Beck completed before she left for sab­
batical, is in the process of being pub­
lished and should come out in five or six
months.
Next up for Beck is a trip to London;
she is leading the LC overseas group next
semester. Following her own tradition of
integrating education and creativity, she
decided each student would have the
choice to work as an intern or draft a
manuscript for a novel for his or her final
project. The idea for the novel developed
after thinking about her own past.
"I kept thinking, 'what was I doing
when I was 211' I was obviously writing
a diary as many people write diaries when
they go overseas, but I thought, 'why not
take it one step further?' You can use your
daily life and the new life you have around
you as part of the story," Beck said.
No matter where her teaching brings
her, Beck uses creative tactics to educate.
She said she was raised in an environment
where the artists and the academics were
the same people. Since there was not a
division when she was younger, it feels
natural to combine the two today, she said.
"My goal is for the student to be ex­
pressive and take ownership of the mate­
rial; to find their own meaning in it," Beck
said. "
I want students to really know the ma­
terial, not memorize it. That's also why I
use creative methods to teach. That's how
I feel you really learn it. My greatest joy
is to see a student learn."

Piolog staff debates best local haircut
Michael Folland
After my good
friend Brian Evans
told me that I could
get a haircut for $10
dollars at Wayne's
Barbershop, I de­
cided to go ahead
and do it.
This was difficult for me to do because
I have depended on the same hair stylist,
Janice Nelson, since I was four years old.
But, my hair hadn't been cut for nearly
two months and it looked like a mop.
When I walked in, there was an old
man sitting in a chair watching football. I
assumed he was a customer, but he sat me
in a chair and asked how I would like my
hair cut.
I said that I needed it trimmed and kind
of short, but not too short.
While he whacked away with his scis­
sors, my hair fell down in clumps. I started
to wonder if this was a bad idea. He
seemed to pay little attention to what he
was doing with my hair.
He didn't seem to love his wife who
he said was a "son of a bitch"because she
always got lost and couldn't follow direc­
tions. He was also annoyed with her be­
cause he could never win while gambling
with her around.
When he found out that I was from
Utah and not a Mormon, he exclaimed,
"You're from Utah and you're not a Mor­
mon? That ole Brigham Young (who led
the Mormon pioneers to Utah) sure would
be disappointed!"
After all this talk he finished my hair
cut. It was butched.
I'm looking forward to Christmas
break when I can get my hair cut by Janice
who knows exactly how I like it. Jessica Tanner
I had been
thinking of get­
ting my hair
trimmed since the
beginning of July.
I'd had bad trims
in the past from
$10 mall stores and was reluctant to re­
peat such an experience. Economically, I
would rather get my hair cut less often
and pay $25.
I stopped by Steven Anthony's: A
Progressive Salon and was able to get an
appointment for that afternoon with Sandi.
I had a bit of a moral dilemma with de­
ciding to go to Steven's because the name
is so lame. I've made fun of the name for
years.
Just what is "a progressive salon?" Am
I now progressive because I got my hair
cut there? Or is my hair now progressive?
Should my political beliefs change be­
cause I was a customer at the progressive
salon?
In any case, Sandi started out with a
scalp massage. However, her fingers were
cold and it was more of a scalp push, if
that makes any sense.
Since Steven's is an "Aveda Concepts
Salon," she used some quality-smelling
products on my hair. She was quite chatty
and sociable, which is a good thing in my
book.
I received an excellent haircut from
Sandi. I have naturally curly hair and
when most stylists try to style my hair, it
ends up with a frizzy white trash look.
However, I am being completely hon­
est when I say that Sandi styled my hair
cuter than I ever imagined possible. I
know I sound like a snob, but I must ad­
mit the curls were very cute. I recommend
Sandi at Steven Anthony's . Jeremy Brown
"Oh, you're a stu­
dent at Lewis &
Clark?" I was asked
by my friendly, red­
haired, rotund hair­
dresser at Supercuts
on Barbur Boulevard.
"I went there once. I was driving and I
took a wrong turn or something!"
Want banal conversation and a pedes­
trian hairstyle? Then Supercuts is the
place for you.
Upon my return from a trip to China, I
was distressed at the high prices of hair­
cuts in the US. I got a classy cut for $0.25
in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia and a work­
manlike cut for $1.00 in Urumchi, Uighur
Autonomous Region. And when I got
home in July, I simply had a friend buzz
all of my hair off at no charge.
This spontaneous summer decision led
to a sticky fall situation-my hair was
growing out haphazardly and split ends
were giving me fits. Left with few other
choices, I headed to Supercuts at 10075
SW Barbur. I could have gone to Great
Clips, also on Barbur, but that would have
entailed a difficult left tum against oncom­
ing traffic.
I had called ahead to alert the recep­
tionist to my imminent arrival (293-9467)
and I was able to sit down immediately.
My stylist was originally from Medford
and followed my instructions well. I
wanted to keep the hair on the top of my
head the same length but wanted the sides
and back clipped short. I had cultivated
my modest sideburns for months and
urged my stylist to protect them. She ful­
filled my rather simple requests flaw­
lessly, though without flourish or flair.
I was generally pleased with my hair­
cut, but disappointed with the price: $10.
I paid with my debit card and was tricked
into paying a $1.00
tip. I was so sur­
prised to see a Katy Davidson
My hair is not
very sacred to me,
but hearty life expe­
riences are. Late last
month, when my
naturally blonde
locks began showing
signs of what I have come to call "the
nesting effect," I decided to take a stand.
"Who knows?" I thought, "Maybe I'll
meet some new faces along the way."
So there I was, alone on campus with
nasty near-dreadlocks and very little
money. I decided to get in my car to pe­
ruse the Portland's own Rodeo Drive,
Barbur Boulevard .
Winding down Terwilliger, I passed
Wayne's Barbur Shop and Steven
Anthony's Progressive Salon. Someone
told me Wayne only gave crew cuts, no
matter what gender sat in front of him. I
did not want a crew cut. Someone else
told me Steven Anthony's was a "progres­
sive place for progressive people." I be­
came nervous and scared, then sped up.
About eight minutes later, I found
myself in a tizzy in Tigard. Then, next to
the enormous orange bubble letters of
"Cub Foods," I noticed a smaller sign that
humbly read, "Great Clips." Hallelujah!
Excited at the sight of a cheap and prom­
ising haircutting establishment, I pulled
into the parking lot.
Greta greeted me at the front counter,
then immediately sat me down in an el­
evator chair and asked how I wanted to
cut my hair. I told her I did not want a
crew cut, I just wanted a healthy trim.
I remember being impressed by her
amiable, yet straight-forward attitude. As
she snipped my golden strands, she told
me of her college days and her pet bunny
rabbits. I described my dreams and goals
and my feelings on deforestation . After
ten minutes, I felt and looked like a new
person. My hair was the perfect length and
I had learned about a new human being. CATLIN GABEL

Religious discipline underlies Cole's ~t~.~,~
by Angela Nusom . ....••.. Instead, Cole
A strong interest in Hinduism and Bud­
dhism as a practical religion underlies pro­
fessor Alan Cole's motivations in his up­
coming book.
Cole's book examines the interrelation
of the Buddhistbelief system and family,
drawing on discipline ideals.
''I'm fascinated with the history of
Buddhism and I'm interested in how lit­
erature presents ideals which people carry
out in discipline practices," he said.
Cole's interest in learning and exam­
ining the subject began in high school.
When he attended Middlebury College,
he slowly began a transformation from
studying physics and geology to philoso­
phy, finally settling on religion, where his
fascination with Buddhism grew.
Drawing on his travel to India during
his senior year, Cole developed an inter­
est in Tibetan Buddhism. Following his
return, he spent six months in a Tibetan
monastery in New Jersey.
"I was very serious about finding out
the traditions," he said.
In contrast to the common American
misperception of monasteries, Cole told
of one monk who had a great sense of
humor. He remembers the monk greeting
him with the pinch of a cheek one would
expect from a grandmother or aunt. One
year later, Cole coincidently met him
again, this time in a Tibetan monastery
during his travel to Tibet.
Following his trip to Tibet, Cole re-concentrates on pre­
senting to his stu­
dents the unmasked
version oftrue Bud­
dhism.
He said, "I really
try to show people
Buddhism from the
ground up." Dis­
cussing gender,
family, and power
are among his class
goals.
Cole also sup­
ports the idea that
the make-up of
Christianity and
Buddhism are very
similar to one an­
other.

Cole also spent an extensive amount
oftime in Taiwan conducting research for
his dissertation. During this time he also
realized his passion for writing and re­
search.
"I had seen Chinese Buddhism up close

teaching through perspectives that exam­
ine the gender implications, power issues
and American Buddhism.
Though there has recently been a surge
of interest and fascination with Eastern
culture and religion, Cole believes the
American perception and fantasy of Bud­
dhism is not accurate.
"I saw a good deal of American Bud­
dhism from the inside, and I saw it was a disciplines' practices becomes apparent.

a writer, or even have a talent for it, he
finds himself already with two other ideas

Viva E.rotica spins a web of sex and art
by Ann Rivinus
Viva Erotica is definitely a filmmaker' s
film. The movie follows Cheung (Kwok
Wing Leslie), a young film director, as he
struggles to make his living and preserve
some of his artistic integrity in the Hong
Kong film industry. His last two films
have been box office flops, and after a two
year vacation in the land of the unem­
ployed, a friend of his calls him with a
movie offer. Once the actual filming begins, a col­
orful cast of characters is introduced . Each
character has his or her own story, andl
while effort is made to include aspects of
their private lives into the plot, they are
quickly pushed by the wayside as the
plight of the filmmaker takes main stage ..
While this does open the door for the:
moral of the story, it also works to detach
the moviegoer from the film altogether .
For those in the audience who are unable
to identify with Cheung's artistic frustra-·
tion, the movie begins to drag on. which adds to
the eroticism
of the film as a
whole. The
characters and
the setting pro­
vide the viewer
with the ability
to look in on a
story without
feeling as if
they are part of
it. The sub­
titles, however,
can make a full
understanding
quite difficult. Viva Erotica is playing at Cinema 21 Oct. 28-30. tn

I a.. The only problem with the offer is that
he will be directing a piece of soft porn
brain candy. Cheung considers himself an
artist, but with the helpful prodding of his
"male provider" pride, he takes the job.
Swords are drawn and the stage is set
for the age old battle between artistic in­
tegrity and money. With Cheung's em­
ployment record, however, it is no won­
der that money makes its way to the
winner's circle this time. All hope is not lost, though, as there:
are many moments of great humor in the
film'which are, for the most part, able to
lasso any wandering thoughts and herd
them back to the turmoil at hand. In the
end, this saves the film. What turns out to
be a typical story with a very typical end­
ing manages to keep itself afloat by actu­
ally entertaining its audience. They flash on and off the screen at the
speed of light, and are sometimes mis­
spelled and poorly translated. ing Viva Erotica would be excellent way
to spend an evening. But, for those who
prefer the brain candy Cheung was forced
to produce in the film, stick to American
fluff.
Viva Erotica has a surreal foreign flare So, for those who enjoy an entertain­
ing foreign film with an interesting cast
and some off-color humor, then watch-
Foggy Notion Boys go topless at Plattform
by Katy Davidson
Foot stompin' and shirtless, Lewis & Clark's own
Foggy Notion Boys played a benefit show for the stu­
dent group "Students Engaged in Eco-Defense" (SEED)
at the Plattform on Oct. 19. The theme of their first on­
campus show of the semester was "topless night."
The band features Nat Keefe on guitar, John Davis
on bass, Micah Ownbey on banjo, Jeremy Davit on man­
dolin, Eric Yates on the flute, and Matt DiFrance sca on
"gut bucket" (cable drum).
Concerning the recent Plattform show, Davit said, "It
was Nat's idea to go topless. Not many people have
themes for their shows; we wanted to spark the relation­
ship between the crowd and the band."
The Foggy Notion Boys have been feeding that spark
for the last two years.
The band formed in the spring of 1996 under the origi­
nal name of "Pickin' n' Sangin.'" It began with Keefe
on banjo, DiFrancesca on guitar, and Davit on mando­
lin. The band line-up occasionally rearranged itself be­
tween shows in its early history. Jesse Withers, a junior
who is now in Zimbabwe, played guitar and bass, and
Marianna Ritchey filled in on banjo.
Last fall, Davit left to study for a semester in Kenya
and Keefe travelled to Nepal, so the band was put on a
one-semester hiatus. When the two returned to LC,
Pickin' n' Sangin' hit the stage again, this time with
Ownbey on banjo, a freshman at the time.
"It worked so well with Micah; there was great chem­
istry," Davit said.
The name "Pickin' n' Sangin ", came from a Keefe
family trip to Yellowstone National Park one year. Keefe
said he was in parking lot outside a concert with his fa­
ther, his uncle Tom, and cousin Asa, when a man ap­
proached them and asked if they wanted to "do a little onto the road. Ownby's mother,
a Utah resident who saw the
band perform on campus last
spring, lined up some shows in
the Salt Lake City area when she
returned home. Davit said they
played in a lOO-year-old venue
called the "Sagewood Barn,"
which used to shelter llamas, at
a bookstore, and at Westminster
College. Withers also set up a
gig in his hometown of Denver.
During what Keefe described
as a "really good time in my
life," last summer's shows seem
to have provided the Foggy No­
tion Boys with some hearty
memories .

Jeremy Davit, Nat Keefe, and John Davis strip down and At the Westminster College
show, Keefe said all his aunts,
uncles, and cousins came up on
stage to sing a song they had
written together called "Horse of belt it out during their recent show at the Plottform.
pickin' and sangin. ",
Then, after spring semester last year, the boys started
to reevaluate the name andl what it meant to them. With­
ers' mom, a recognized musician, told the band it
sounded kind of like they "played for kindergartners,"
Davit said. Withers' boss at a music store told him he
always wanted a band called "The Foggy Notion Boys,"
alluding to one of the oriiginal bluegrass bands, "The
Foggy Mountain Boys." His boss said Withers could use
the name for "Pickin' n' Sangin'" ifhe wanted it and the
name has stuck ever since.
Last summer, the boys took the show off campus and the Human Face." Keefe said the
Sagewood Barn show happened the same day the Utah
Jazz played the Chicago Bulls in the NBA finals and
"no one came" because everyone was at home watching
the game.
"Each show had its highlights ," Davit said.
Now back on the LC scene, the Foggy Notion Boys
plan to whoop it up a little more. They have been play­
ing most of their old bluegrass favorites, but also some
of Keefe's material from a former band.
"We like playing with the texture of the American
string band. There's something pure and elemental about
that," Keefe said.
Pianist Nakamatsu's talents delight PSU
by Kevin Gonzales
Last Saturday and Sunday, Portland was fortunate
enough to host a gifted musician -the visiting per­
fonner, Jon Nakamatsu, who gave a piano recital at Port­
land State University. His repertoire attracted an audi­
ence that filled the concert hall for both performances;
his talent could certainly attract such large gatherings
on a continued basis.
On Saturday, the audience was immediately capti­
vated by the opening piece, a Prelude, Fugue, and Varia­
tion, Opus 18 by Cesar Franck. Its solemn yet delicate
melody set the atmosphere for Sonata No.1 in C Major
Op. I by Johannes Brahms. This piece, as well as the
following one, Carnaval , by Robert Schumann, allowed
the pianist to demonstrate his dynamism and passion.
As student Markus Imhof noted, he seemed to have an ability to "pull" thick and sonorous chords from the pi­
ano, instead of hammering through the difficult sections.
Following a difficult movement, and even during brief
rests, Nakamatsu would suddenly pause, and threaten­
ingly brandish clenched fists high over the piano. This
gave particular flavor to Chopin's Grande Polonaise
Brillante, which lent itself well to the hands of a theatri­
cal performer.
On Sunday afternoon, Nakamatsu opened with
Beethoven's Sonata in E Major, Op. \09, followed by
two more Chopin Polonaises. Nine Bagatelles by Will­
iam Bolcom, commissioned for the Tenth Van Cliburn
Internatio nal Piano Competition, proved to be a wild
ride though musical history, blending airs of DeBussy ,
Chopin, Beethoven, and more. The e were performed
with great. kill and ostensible enthusiasm, and were pre-sumably among the pieces that Nakamatsu played when
he won the competition in June. The recital did not end
with the etudes by Stavinsky, nor the two pieces by Liszt,
but continued with three incredible encores including
Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu and a polonaise, popu­
larly dubbed Heroic . These were performed flawlessly
on both Saturday and Sunday, leaving the audience in a
state of awe and enchantment.
For those who were unfortunate enough to miss
Nakamatsu's performance, it may be of interesllo know
that he is scheduled to appear at the Theatre de Chatelet
in Paris on December 5th. If you fail to obtain a plane
ticket, later this month you might watch for Playing With
Fire, a documentary on PBS in which he is featured. The
next PSU piano recital,-presenting Angela Hewitt, will
occur Nov. 22 and 23.

The season that
blows matters most
-Sports Editorial: The cold winds of fall
usher in vibrant times in all of sports.
by David Kolek
Watching the leaves come down this week made me
think about the four seasons our lovely world takes us
through. To be honest I was plagued with a pressing ques­
tion as the crimson leaves floated to the ground.
I wondered what I would say if someone put a gun to
my head and demanded to know my favorite season of
the year.
I realize this is a strange way to start a sports story.
Right now you're probably wondering if tirelessly cov­
ering the Lewis & Clark sports world has gotten to my
brain.
This may be the case, but that's not what we're talk­
ing about right now. I beg you to bare with me. I am
about to make the kind of briliant logical argument that
would delight any respectable professor of Inventing
America.
Back to my dilemma. There is a gun to my head and
I have to decide what my favorite season is.
My first thought is to blurt out "spring." The buds of
burgenoning new flowers burst open with colorful vi­
brancy. The world triumphantly sheds the icy bonds of
winter. Love itself, the poets would have you believe,
floats on the spring winds.
Then my cynicism strikes. In the long run, what do
poets know about the real world?
Nothing.
To be quite honest I don't think they would be good
poets if they did have a firm grasp on reality.
Now, let's get back to the gun to my head. With the
cold steel pressed against my temple, I think I would
chose our present season, fall, as my favorite.
Through the eyes of a sports fan fall is when life truly
springs eternal. Fall is when the dormant athletes of
such professional sports as football, basketball and
hockey emerge from their off-season cocoons and begin
to thrill us in their respective venues.
The National Hockey League has already been play­
ing for a month. The crushing sounds of bodies slam­
ming and pucks flying warms the blood against the ap­
proaching winter cold.
Michael Jordan, his "supporting cast," and the rest of
the NBA are deep within their exhibition season.
Fall is also the time when amateurs, little leaguers'
and sports enthusiast s of all ages and genders head down
to the local field or basketball court.
They brave the colder winds, and in the case of Port­
land, the incessant rain. Piles of leaves are quickly swept
away to make room for a game of two-on-two . Games
of muddy touch-football pervade in frequency.
I can't be the only person on Palatine Hill that re­
members braving stiff winds as a youth to swing a bat,
kick a soccer bowl up a frozen field, or dribble a ball
with freezing hands.
It may have seemed annoying at the time. Now, as I
reflect back, I think that starting at any other time of the
year would be completly wrong. There is something in­
herently correct about freezing to death on a windswept
soccer field. It makes sense to feel the sting sweep
through your arms when you connect with a fastball.
It doesn't build character , as your parents might have
tried to tell you, but rather it allows you to join the mul­
titude of generations that suffered before in the cold
winds. It is this weather, more than any other, that en­
courages a person to get off the sidelines and into the
game. Sports
Football pummels UPS

LC quarterback Travis Vlach avoids the rush and finds an open receiver against UPS
-LC wins first NCIC game of the
season in ~ront of homecoming crowd
by David Kolek
The Lewis & Clark football team beat NCIC ri­
val University of Puget Sound 34-0 on Oct. 18.
This victory at Griswold Stadium came before a
large crowd of alumni which made the trip to Pa­
latine Hi1I for LC's Homecoming Weekend .
LC started well against UPS and proceeded to
systematically take control of all facets of the game.
The offense and defense both worked together to
bring about this total victory.
Midway through the first quarter of action LC
went on a scoring strike so quickly, it would have
been missed if one had stepped out for nachos.
Drew Jordan hit Jesse Ortiz for an 88-yard touch­
down reception .. One play and the Pioneers took the
lead at 7-0.
Before the quarter ended, the Pioneer defense
added a drive of its own. LC's Dave McLain, a
senior defensivt: back, intercepted a UPS pass deep
within LC territory and returned it for a staggering
86-yard touchdown return.
The quarter closed with LC out in front 14-0.
The Pioneers did not rest with this advantage ,
they continued Ito add more to their lead.
Thanks to good defense the Pioneer offense found
themselves in good scoring position just before the third period ended.
Jordan, who would finish with 353 passing yards,
took advantage of this field position by connecting
with Aaron Schmidt for a 25-yard touchdown pass.
Schmidt would add another touchdown to his sea­
son total midway through the fourth quarter. On this
drive, it was LC quarterback Travis Vlach who found
Schmidt for a 36-yard touchdown.
The LC defense, which stymied all of the Logger's
attempts to cross the goal line, would add one more
touchdown to the total.
With less than a minute remaining in the game,
junior defensive back Koko Hunt picked off a Logger
pass and took it back for a 52-yard touchdown return.
LC's decorated running back Jesse Ortiz finished
with 66-yards rushing and another 110-yard receiv­
ing. Jordan enjoyed the most prolific game of his
young career, completing 16 of 31 passes including
two touchdowns .
On the defensive side, which supplied 14 points of
offense, freshman Andrew Carr stood out with eight
tackles and one sack.
McLain finished with six tackles and two inter­
ceptions, including the one he ran back for a touch­
down.
The runaway victory represents LC's first win
against an NCIC league opponent.
LC will look to continue their winning ways on
the road this Saturday, Oct. 25 against Linfield Col­
lege.

No meet scheduled Volleyball blocks losing trend
By Raina Kiewel
The Lewis & Clark volleyball team fell
to the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes
last Saturday, culminating a five-game
losing skid.
Beginning with a tough four-game loss
at home to Linfield College, the Pioneers
took the show on the road, dropping
matches to
Whitman ,
Whitworth , Cas­
cade, and PLU.
With the final
loss on Saturday
go the hopes of a
post-season
playoff berth for
LC. At 1-9 in the
NCIC, Lewis &
Clark shares last
place in the
league with Pa­
cific University .
While com­
petitive in both
of last week's
matches , the
Pioneers fell
short of the elu­
sive "W," with a
one games to
four defeat at Cascade and a 3-game
sweep at PLU.
On Wednesday, LC saw solid perfor­
mances against Cascade College from
sophomore Kasey Cordell, and seniors
Holly James and Jana Shorb.
Cordell led the way with 10 kills, 2
service aces, 16 digs, one solo block, and
7 block assists. James, taking over as out­
side hitter opposite Cordell, contributed
11 kills and 18 digs, while middle blocker
Shorb added 15 kills, 6 digs, and one block
assist.
In light of these impressive perfor-mances, the loss was all the more diffi­
cult to stomach, particularly since the Pio­
neers swept Cascade in three during their
earlier confrontation at home.
Of the loss, Cordell said, "It's just so
frustrating because we have so much tal­
ent [this year]."
Up in Tacoma on Saturday, the Pios'
big girls in the middle dominated play.
Shorb had 11
kills and 3 block
assists.
Her counter­
part Christina
Holloway , a se­
nior from Hood
River, powered
in 8 kills, 2 solo
blocks, and 2
block assists.
Holloway leads
the team in
blocks with 47
and Shorb is on
top of the kills
department with
211.
After the dis­
appointing per­
formances on
their long road
trip, the Pioneers
are looking to finish the season on a posi­
tive note.
James commented , "We have a tal­
ented squad with a lot of
confidence ... we're hoping to turn it
around at the end of the season and power
out with some wins." Shorb added, "All
the ability is there, we just need to put it
all together."
