KLC forced to move in Templeton restructuring
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
and Justin Francis President Gordon Lavigne said it is a "done
deal ... KLC will be moved".
If all goes as planned, KLC will be forced
to move without their consent
The Templeton _ Conversion Committee,
made up of administrators, staff and some of
the offices who will be effected by the move,
recommended the move in a meeting,
Thursday. March 23. Though the vote was
unanimous, representatives from KLC, LCIV
and the Pioneer Log did not suppon the
recommendation. Mervyn Brockett, assistant vice president
and acting registrar is in favor of the move.
MI'm sure it will make a big difference if Y011l
could have those three offices closer [Financild .
Aid, the CashierS Office and RegistrarS office],,"
he said.
Matt Shennan, KLC General Manager,
said, ·Communication comes from people, nOit
location."
Michael Mooney passed his suppon on
to the Capital Committee, and the plan is now
under consideration. If the Capital Committee
budgets the reconstruction proposal, KLC will
be moved this summer. In response to the decision to move thle
station, KLC petitioned students, and wrote :a
letter to the Pioneer Log. KLC collected mOlle
than six hundred signatures on petition stating:,
"We, the undersigned, believe that KLC should
not be moved from its present location."
While this plan is not finalized, ASLC Some people involved in thl~

Paperwork to replace
arena style registration
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
T he~ will be no arena registration this Spring. Instead
students will fill out two forms, first an advanced selection
form an then another registration form. I -e change is a
result of student dissatisfaction with the arena registration.
"Last term there was quite a lot of dissatisfaction , frustra
tion with the arena. So, what we're going to try to do this
tenn is dispense with the arena," said Mervyn Brockett, assis
tant vice president and acting registrar.
After students fill out their advanced selection form, all
students will be placed into their first class, and then all stu
dents will be placed in their second class.
It is done this way so students will have a better chance
9f getting at least one of their first choices. Selection will stiD
be made based on class standing and the random lottery.
MA very high percentage of students will get their first
course," Brockett said.
The advanced selection form will be in student's boxes
next week. Students then have two weeks to return the form.
Students must get their advisorS signature on their request
After spring break, students will receive a preliminary list of
the classes they got into and another form to sign up for more
classes. Pia Basketball

Lavigne said this show of suppon will not
change his mind concerning the move. "There!;
not 1800 signatures that will change that view,"
he said.
On March 8, a poll will ask students'
opinions about the restructuring. However,
Lavigne said, the student poll is
inconsequential because the poD gauges moves
which will happen regardless. Othermembers
of ASLC said the poll will matter and students'
opinions will be taken into consideration.
"I don't think students really care where
KLC is," Lavigne said.
There are pros and cons to all sides of the
issue. If KLC moves upstairs, they have been
promised a new transmitter and general
equipment. One of KLC's main concerns,
however, is that they have not received these promises in writing.
"The only thing we have received in
writing, is that we won't receive anything in
writing, ~ said Matt Sherman, KLC general
manager.
The three main concerns of the station
are as follows:
1. No guarantees have been put in
writing.
2. Promises have been consistently
broken and KLC has been lied to.
3. The cost to the college is too great.
President Michael Mooney said KLC is a
very small point in a larger plan. "It really
cannot be taken out and analyzed separately."
he said.
Lavigne said he does not think KLC has
presented their real reasons for not moving.

A second change in registration concerns the registra
tion announcements students normally receive. The regis
tration announcements booklet will be "less daunting.·
"We're trying to get students an easier form to read,"
Brockett said. VP for 5MB chosen amidst controversy
The booklet will be a guide to registration. Also, the
registration booklet will be reissued in the Spring with all
additional changes in classes, times, etc. to make for more
accurate inf~rrnation. In years past, there has been only one
issue of the Registration Booklet.
Brockett said there are some positive aspects to arena
registration, such as being able to sign up for a class instantly
or talk to a teacher about the class. However, Brockett also
heard many complaints .
"The arena led to a lot of desperate and irrational kinds
of thin~, students just signed up for anything to get out of
there," he said.
"Arena had been criticized and there were several articles
in tM Pionur Wg about it. People had reached the point
where they felt it was not useful," Brockett added. • by JeJna McCuistion
Jason Alexander was filnally voted in as the new Stu
dent Academic Affairs BO~lrd Vice President (SAAB) on
Wednesday March 1st. This mid-semester election resulted
from the resignation of Andrea Stubbs, the former VP. Her
resignation occurred early in February as requested by Gor--
don Lavigne, the ASLC President. The question of the po
sition vacancy has remained unanswered until this week.
SAAB is an organization that allocates money to stu
dents who submit proposalls for independent research in
three areas; conference grants, independent research, and
as visiting scholars. There a-re 18 board members, one rep
resenting each depanment with a Vice President that also
acts as a Student Council member.
Lavigne asked Stubbs to resign on the basis that she had broken a number of the ASLC bylaws that outline Coun
cil member guidelines. He said that Mshe was not fulfilling
the responsibilities of her position. ~
In section 2 of the ASLC bylaws, it is stated that should
an ASLC council member fail to attend two or more of the
regularly scheduled meetings, the MPresident may ask the
~Student Council memberto resign." According to Lavigne
and Amber Ontiveros, SAAB board member and Vice Presi
dent of Budget and Finance, Stubbs had not met this re
quirement.
Ontiveros added that Stubbs had nOl been notifying
board members of upcoming meetings nor had she sent out
agendas, both responsibilities of the position. The VP is
also reqUired to attend scheduled office hours.

by Marni Handley
Tuition for the 1995-96 school year is ris
ing by 6.5% due to new regulations . The Board
of Trustees recently approved a schedule of
tuition and fees, under which the average
Lewis & Clark student will be paying $21,890
for tuition and room and board.
For the 1995-96 school year basic tuition
will rise to $16,820 from $15,800 this year.
This is the greatest increase since 1991 when
tuition rose by 7%. The cost of room and board
(based on the 14 meal plan) will be $5,070,
up from $4,790. The total increase of tuition,
fees, room and board will be 1,300.
Students studying in off-campus and over
seas programs will be experiencing the great
est increases. In general program costs are ris
ing by $700. Those traveling to Munich for
the 1995-96 year long program there, will be
paying $14, 700 in basic costs. This is around
$900 more than students paid for the current
school year.
These amounts were set by the Budget
Council, made up of the deans and the presi
dent of lC. They start by estimating the num
ber of students who will by paying tuition next
year and try to balance that with the predicted
expenditures.
The schools expenditures will be higher

counting depreciation as an operating expense,
as well as changes in retirement benefits. In
addition to normal increases, these regulations

CglfWM rr. PIlI 1, IMI VP -
representative, and Ontiveros claim that
Stubbs had missed her hours at times making
it difficult for students to reach her. But Zakahi
stated that missing office hours was fine based
on whether or not the VP really inappropriate ."
Stubbs argues that her obligation was to
SAAB, not to ASLC. She did say that -there

2f3 majority vote.
Alexander was suggested but not agreed
upon. The position was then opened up to
anyone that was interested. Shelby Uritz , a
former 5MB VP, Eric Patesch,
thought that attendance was
necessary and that "we are stu
dents trying not to flunk out of
school."
Stubbs said that she had
no choice in the resignation and

Zakahi defined a breach of ethics as the
"embezzlement of money or making biased
decisions," for example.
Stubbs was unclear as to what Lavigne was
referring to, and Lavigne did not define what
was implied in the interview either. Zakahi
did not understand how this applied to her.
He said, "yes, Stubbs did not fulfill her duty to
ASlC but the way in which they went about
her resignation and the question of ethics was and I had very different ideas about where my
priorities should lay."
Zakahi agreed that ASLC was not a prior

laws that the SAAB VP is a Counci l! member
and all bylaws apply to that person like any
Council member.
After nearly a month without a VP and
with grant proposal applications due, ASLC
finally electedJason Alexander, a fonner 5MB
board member. As outlined in the bylaws, After this , Alexander was
recommended to ASLC. Lavigne recom
mended Alexander on the basis that he would
bring a "fresh and logical perspective".
Alexander was not elected by the needed 2f3

we'll just keep asking them for

give it to us. I think that if they

we'll just repeal it like we did

Romulus Johnson, senior "I haven't read it,

the balanced budget, I mean,

Warner faced a tough decision: spend the night
at Freds or try calling for a ride. He decided
on the latter, but it was a lot harder than he
thought.
Warner called Campus Safety and thought they would be eager to help a student in
trouble.
Campus Safety would not pick him up
and Warner faced returning to LC under his
own creativity. A friend on campus was able
to locate a ride back to LC for Warner.
This raises the question, who is respon
sible for the safety of students in times like
these? Campus Safety responded with sev
eral reasons why there were unable to go to
Fred~.
First, they said their service vehicles were
not equipped for snowy weather and sending
I someone out would put campus property and
staff personnel in danger. Secondly; when
school is officially closed, safety vehicles do not
run.
The main reason Campus Safety gave for
not retrieving the student was a policy issue.
The Campus Safety staff is only responsible
only for students on campus. Personnel could
be fired' for not being available to hdp an on
campus student in need.
No exceptions are made to this policy.
Campus Safety is solely responsible for the
safety on students on the LC campus. •

Driving
alternatives
by Maren Souders,
for the cutemative trlD1SPOrtation group
Do you commute to school? Did yon have
trouble finding a parking space on campus to
day? Have you ever parked illegally; and got
ten a ticket for it?
Driving to school can be a hassle. While
it may seem convenient to drive, it is frustrat
ing to cruise looking for a parking space, hop
ing you 'can get to class on time. Cars are also
a major source of air poDution, which contrib
utes to global warming. Traffic congestion not
only frustrates those driving in it, bu~ eventu
-ally requires expensive measures to alleviate.
And cars use fossil fuels which will be gone in
a few decades.
Everyone knows about these problems,
which have the potential to become cata
strophic. Everyone a1so has the oppotturuty
to be a part of their solution 1bere are alter
natives to driving alone which can contribute
toward making our environment better.
Carpooling. biking, and busing are solu
tions which people from campus already use.
There may not be designated carpool spaces
this year but carpooling can save you money
on gas as weD as being a good way to socialize
while you commute. 1here is a carpool match
ing bOard near the mailboxes in Templeton,
right next to the computer store. Also in the
works is an e-rnail-based carpool program.
Taking the bus is another great way to
socialize. Or, you can read or do last-mlnute
homework. If you've never taken the bus and
you don't know how it works, don't be ner
vous-just give it a try. It goes to Fred Meyer
and back every half hour, and it~ only a dollar
to ride. The college subsidizes monthly bus
passes at 20%, so a two-zone pass only costs
$26.40 instead of$33. (Buy them upstairs from
the info desk, in Kate Schweitzerl; office, at the
end of the previous month or the first week of
the month.) If you live on campus, hop on the
bus to do your shopping at Safeway or Fredd~
or,go downtown. While you're still living on
campus is a good time to get to know the bus
system.
Bicycling, of course., is emissi~free, and
it's also good exert:ise. Bikes can be an excel
lent fonn of basic transportation, in addition
to their recreational uses.
For some people, driving alone is the only
practical option for getting to school. But the
vast majority of us have other alternatives. It
makes sense to take a loo~ at them, and to use
them at least some of the time, for a host of
ttasonS. No more parking hassles is just one
ofthern. • ~Pag.6 NEWS the Pioneer Log -F Tidal: March 3, 1995

Bird sisters hope to make people tlllnk twice about driving drunk
BY ALYSON SMITH
What kind of man would write a book
about how to get drunk drivers off the hook
after causing two young womens' backs and
necks to break while he was driving drunk?
The man who rear-ended Arwen, and Sierra
Bird, while he was driving home drunk from
a local Bar and Grille. His name is Kevin
Neilson, and he isn't serving time. He just
can't obtain a license for three years, and he
owes the Birds' a mere., in comparison to the
damage, $150,000 restitution.
Do the Bird sisters feel angry and venge
ful now that their lives have been irreconcil
ably altered; Sierra, who now suffers from oc
casional memory dysfunction; and Arwen,
who is paralyzed from the waist down? No,
they have struggled through a veritable bell
and have come out on the other side with a
positive message. like Arwen says, "[their]
message is best heard among people [their]
own age-, these people include all of us, and
the message is, "if you've been drinking, don't
drive-. Most of us can probably think of a
time or two when we knew we shouldn't have
driven after drinking. but did anyway after
convincing ourselves that we weren't too drunk
and that it would be too much hassle to find
another safe way home. Well, when yOu take
a look at Arwen, you might feel angry and
decide that Kevin Neilson is a worthless per
SOIl. Instead, take a look at yourself and make
finn decision to never again drink and drive.
ItS not like we're in bigh school anymore, mom
and dad won't be asking why we didn't drive our car home after a night on the town.
On February 23, 1993, Arwen was driv
ing herself, and her sister Sierra, horne after
being at a LC party. At that time, Sierra was iil
Senior in bigh school and Arwen was a Frosh
at Lewis & Clark. They were traveling at about
45 mph when they were rear-ended. Kevin
had been driving at about 70 mph, while rac'
ing a car in the other lane. This was right afta
leaving the Lake Oswego Bar and Grille. Nei,
ther Arwen, nor Sierra, can remember exactly
what happened, although it was apparent to
everyone at the scene, that the car had lifted
up off of the pavement and then had rolled
down the embankment. The car was so
wrecked that Arwen and Sierra were stuck
inside the cab for 40 minutes before the jaws
of life" could cut the top off of their car and
pull them out. Meanwhile, Kevin played ilt
off cool and none of the cops thought to giVf~
him a breathal~r test. They all thought thalt
the girls were so drunk that the accident was
their fault. Four hours later, when one cop
decided to give Kevin a breathalyzer test, his
BAC. was still .12. Don't forget, the legal
limit iri Oregon is .08, and his was .12, four
hours later. Until this day, Kevin claims tht~
accident was the girls' fault He likes to be··
lieve that Arwen pulled in front of him. Go
figure.
Sierra and Arwen have truly learned the
truth behind the saying, "anythingtha tdoesn ~t
kill you makes you stronger." After the acei-·
dent, Sierra, in a neck brace, went on the play
the lead in her high school play. Arwen Spenlt
six weeks in the hospital learning about her
-paralyzation and how to take care of herself.
And, after taking a semester off from Lewis &~
Clark, Arwen enrolled at PSU for summer "
anything that
doesn't kin you
manhesyou
stronger. "

school. She didn't want to get behind, and she
was eager to get back into life. Together, they
learned how important they are to each other,
and how much easier recovery was for both of
them since they still had each other to lean
on.
Unfommately. Kevin has only sent them one letter. It was typed, they feel, by his law
yer. Instead of cursing him for being a mis
take to humanity, Arwen and Sierra feel that
he can be the icon for what not to be. Next
time you're out for a drink or two, don't just
think twice about not driving, just don't drive,
pmoo. •

Sick of pizza delivery? Heres a
new idea if you are stuck at home
The Platt form • 1S accepting There is nothing more convenient that having food delivered to
your door. There is a good reason most college students memorize the
phone number of Pizza Hut or Dominos before they master the art of
long distance dialing from the dorms. Room Service has taken the idea
one step further. Now instead of being limited to pizza, you can order
through Room Service to a number of the are:a~ restaurants. Now,
there is a hitch and iB an.expensive one. For each restaurant you order
from you'D be slapped with $9.90 delivery fee if it~ being delivered to
the 97219 zip code. Pretty steep if you are just ordering for yourself
and a friend, but get some people together and give it a try. Our food
arrived exactly an hour after I picked up the phone. applications for new managers.

This was the second time we had food delivered to the house, so
ordering is easy as directions are stored in their computer. I picked up
the phone at 8:00, gave my order and in a few minutes they called back
with a total and an estimated time of arrival. Forty-five minutes turned
out to be an hour, but in the hour plus it would have taken to go out
and eat I'd had a shower, read some microeconomics, checked my e
mail, made some phone calls and eaten a hot dinner.
We ordered food from Taj Mahal, but it doesn't seem fair to review
the food as it is well traveled by the time it gets to the plate; just like
Mom~ cookies don't taste quite as good by the time they reach you
through the mail room. Sometime in the future I'll try to go down
there and do a review in the restaurant.
Obviously you can't order without a menu which means that you're
going to have to plan a little before your first order. I'D take a copy of
the booklet down to the info desk so that you can go down and look at
it or you can call Room Service at 643-9993 and ask them to send you
one. Tune for LC tc
LC gears up to s~
through the trials
-AS I. PRE ENT -
ASLC has become an intricate combination of
students, student government members, faculty.
administration and beyond. The goal of the ASLC
President is to manage and maintain this network as to
provide the best access and opportunity available to the
Lewis Est Clark student body. A plethora of resoun:es
and knowledge remains behind many doors on the
campus -practically untouched by those who can
benefit from it. The ASLC President has the ability to
direct these benefits to those who can use them. In
. running for President I fully intend to be a spokespt. .. "
son for those who desire it -directing concerns and
requests to the proper avenues. The ability to listp..n and
in tum convey related information are of the most
valuable assets to the ASLC PresidenL With dedication
to and understanding of the issues, Student Council
has the ability to greatly enhance the educational
e.xP'"..rience of this college. The first thing you should know about me is that I
hate politics. By "politics," I mean procedural game
playing that seeks to exclude the people it is supposed
to be for. This kind of politics isn't only bad for
everyone on campus, but it makes it no fun to be a par
of the system at all.
The root of the problem is a system that rules
from above without listening to student sentiment
This is something I think needs to be changed, and
thats why I'm running. Here are three things I can say
for sure: First, I'm going to put student interest first
and foremost Any idea I have is going to be designed
with student needs in mind, and subject at all times to
approval by the students. Second, I am an honest guy
who is not going to be influenced by traditional
political deal-making . I'm not going to compromise
what I think is right for the LC community for
anything. Third, if I didn't see a reason for change, I
wouldn't be running. I am running because someone
has to change the current structure from within. Giver.
limited space, I can't list all my ideas, but I can be
reached at 977-2847 or at email shaw for those with
further questions.

Kevi.l. Je¥¥ __ e~ Jo.\ (c*k
In light of the new two-year boarding contracts, there is a greater necessity for
students to be adequately informed. The increase of students on campus should be
reflected in the amount of events being offered to them. As a first year student I found it
difficult to find a variety of activities to attend. I also viewed a lack of interaction with
the surrounding community. I desire the office of Vice President for Information and
Programming, so that I may enhance the current system of providing information and
activities for the Lewis Est Clark community. My oP!Y promise is to do my best in
creatively planning and infOrming events for Lewis Est Clark College. I have been the VP of Information and Programming since the beginning of this
semester. Since I have been in this office I have learned the process and know what
needs to be done and changed. One thing that needs to be changed is the sense of
community on campus. lbough not directed by ASLC Bylaws, this office can serve as
the center from which such events may occur. I am establishing a network through
which more academic information may be forwarded to the students. I am also
working on more speakers appearing at L&C.

Any questions can be addressed to me at LC box 509. Hey there my name is Sarah Strafford, and I am a

while I have the intentions of one day becoming the

what I will push for.

KLC fights to save their freedom from
shortsighted restructuring plan
Administration's plan
would waste both
money and resources
To the Editor,
On February 23, 1995, the planning committee for the
restructuring of the Templeton College Center voted to rec
ommend moving KLC, the student run radio station at Lewis
&. Clark College, as pan of a plan to restructure Templeton
This decision was made against KLC~ wishes. When KLC en
tered into talks about the by the Capital Committ.ee. The money that they are proposing
to devote to KlC colllld be better used on other building
projects. Or it could be reallocated to something the college
needs more desperately. such as financial aid. The benefits
from moving KlC are small and unclear, and they do not war
rant such a large expenditure.
A leading reason for KLO refusal to move is the fact that
we, the Board of KLC, have been given false guarantees, and
lied to repeatedly about our options. Gordon Lavigne prom
ised KlC equal or greater space upstairs, which we desper
ately need for CD storage and our ever expanding amount of
technical equipment As the plan stands now, we would lose
space (75 sq. ft.). We were repeatedly assured by Gordon
Lavigne from the outset of
possible move, we were led
to believe that it was only a
preliminary discussion of
the matter. KLC agreed to
discuss the move with the
understanding that we
would not be forced to
move. but would beaDowed
to withdraw at any time if
plan did not adequatelyad
dress KLC's concerns and
needs. Presently. KLC is be

somewhere between
$100,000 and $200,000 . Gordon~s statement wa~~
clearly incorrect
These costs include physical construction, rewiring, sound
proofing, windows, and necessary equipment required for the
new space. This is a totally unnecrssary expenditure for the
"benefits· as outlined by the admiJ;ristration and Gordon
Lavigne. Why should the student body stand for this unnec
essary waste of money? What better uses could this money be
put to? The money set aside is for the construction on campus

ment, as well as good visibility. I<I..O current decor would be

moving to the middle of Templeton will bring new regulations
on decor. The people proposing this move have failed to ad
dress this concern -req1llests for written assurances for visual
autonomy have been repeatedly denied.
The idea of this "restructuril)g'" was to give lewis &. Clark .
College a better sense of ·communi~ by placing aD of the
student media together "lith aD of the ASlC offices. The move
would also make the basement ofTempleton a Student finan
cial Center by grouping 1!he Cashi~ Office, Student Financial
Services, and the Re.gistirarS Office together. By moving Stu
dent Financial Services together with these offices, the admin
istration and Gordon hoped to make it more convenient for
students. Students use these services together at the begin
ning of the term when the Cashierli Office is upstairs nc:xl to
the Thayerme.eting rooms. KlO proposal would put Student
Financial Services wheI1e the commuter lounge currently is,
right around the comer from where the Cashien Office is dur
ing the beginning of the 1lerm. KLC~ proposal to have Student
Financial Services upstairs would make it even more conve
nient for students when 'the offices are the busiest. and would
save hundreds of thousands dollars for the college in unneces
sary moving costs .
Without moving KLC, Student Financial Services and the
Cashi~ Office would be separated by a staircase, and the col
lege would be able to use: these hundreds of thousands of dol
lars for more beneficial construction around campus. KLC
supports the restructuring ofTempleton, and bringing the rest
of the campus media into Templeton, but we cannot condone
the waste of money and questionable technical feasibility used
in a forceful move ofKlC There is no point in moving KLC.
Only a small minority O1f the administration (Michael Ford,
Michael 5estrlc, Wayne lPederson, and Dennis Madson, plus
the other miscellaneous interests on the Templeton Restruc
turing Committee), and Gordon Lavigne suppon this forceful
move of KlC We are appealing to students and faculty who
are tired of seeing money-wast ed on this caJ'npus, and ask you
to be vocal by supporting KlC

A little knowledge and a chainsaw make a dangerous duo
To The Editor,
1 am rarely one to expound on the joys of
ignorance, but in some cases, 1 am unfortu
nately forced to take the staIXl that indeed "Ig
norance IS Bliss." It was reported recently
that the school now has two members ofPhysi
cal Plant who are certified arborists. 1 was
happy to learn that the administration had
spent money on the education needed to beau
tify the campus and 1 had hopes that the
lmowledge would be put to good use. How
ever, it appears nothing new has been learned
other than which trees to cut down and the
proper way to do it. Au, TIS

SfA-,.~··· ro,a. ~ow ...
On my trip from Templeton to my donn
room this afternoon,I noticed 13 trees, or shall
1 say stumps, that had been cut since our ar
rival to campus this school year. Five of which
were cut down following the recent snow. 1
will likely be rebuked by Physical Plant (and
in fact 1 encourage that they respond so that I,
and my fellow students, might better under
stand their reasoning) that they have not cut
near that many' trees down. However, as the
familiar bumper sticker states ·Stumps Don't
Ue." 1 am additionally frustrated with the rea
soning 1 have been given for the cutting of the
trees. On another ocasion, following the recent
snow, 1 questioned a Physical Plant member
on their reasoning concerning the tree that
used to exist next to the stairs leading up to no sense to me. I had always been under the
impression that trees naturally bend under the
snow. Trees do indeed exist in the mountains
where it snows far more often than here in has braved the e1emen~ and survived longer
than the others? That a tree is "too old" surely
can't be one of the reasons that Physical Plant
learned during their arborist education for the
removal of a tree. 1 haven't noticed that there

planted in the coming months to replace the
15 trees that have met their demise at Physical

Administrations plans ignore student opinion
To the Editor,
Back in November; ·kI.c entered into negotiations to possibly move
KLC. We were told we would not be moved without our consent Since
then much political turmoil has clouded the issue. 1 will try to clear
things up.
Politics aside, the objective issue is whether the college should spend .
$150,000 to move KLC upstairs, or have a staircase between the CashierS
Office and Student Financial Services. As a student 1 am willing to walk
those stairs the one or two times 1 do walk between those offices per
semester. As a student 1 would not benefit much from moving KLC. 1
think the money should be used for more important "capital projects", or
should be reallocated to something else -like more Financial Aid (an
extra $800+ per undergrad student). More persona11~ I<LC was lied to.
Now I<LC is being moved without consent from KLC or from the stu
dents at large. Just the fact that KLC is being FORCED to move is reason
enough for me to oppose this move.
1 am in favor of restructuring Templeton, but 1 am not in favor o£ a
forceful move of KLC.
-Uland Pdcson To the Editor,
1 am a DJ at KLC as well as a freshman, which means I'm a guinea
pig for the -new reic:h" of Lewis & Clark. The thing that bothers me
about the KLC move is the same thing that bothers me about the two
year residency requirement, -the change to semesters, the Campus life
RNcampus safetyl student harassment committee. 1 am bothered by the
fact that all the decisions made regarding these issues, were or are being
made against the common will of students. The administration is start
ing a war with the stlildent body by putting the students wants and con
cerns on the farthest back burner in order to make way for the new 75
gazillion dollar goal they are trying to reach, which will ultimately change
the image of the schoo,l to something no student, not even "Flash Gordon,"
has any say in shaping. 1 wonder if good professors and small classes are
worth being dicked around for the next four years.
Hopefully student government will realize that although KLC isn't
very popular, they are less popular and less accessible. Why not put all
the administrators in there offices, or are those going to be used for
dorms next year?

Trees fall victim
to Physical Plant
To The Editors,
1 have a question about the
trees. Where are they all going? I'm
not alone in noticing that everyday
it seems another tree has fallen to
the chainsaws of Physical Plant,
without any apparent reason for
their destruction.
First it was the tree by KLC that
had been partially rooted up in the
snow. That was almost understand
able. Then it was the tree between
Platt and Howard, whose carcass has
been lying there for a week as a re
minder of the destruction done.
Then it was the tree by the side stairs
up to Templeton Yesterday I heard
the chainsaw again, but have not
been able to locate the victim.
Is there any logic behind this
destruction? Will Physical Plant try
to appease my anger by saying that
they are ~utifying" the campus
by slowly extenninating its most
beautiful feature? 1 certainly hope
that there is a plan to replant, possi
bly even more trees, Knowing Physi
cal Plant's tendency toward
"minimalism" , 1 doubt this is the
case, but 1 do hope this pattern of
senseless destruction will cease.

Sound unlikely? In es
sence, the Mafia of the
Templeton Restructuring
Cominittu is doing exactly
that to KLC, upholding yet
another instance in a long se
ries of ignoring the obviously
stated desires of students. It" s been made
painfully clear over the
past three years that
students have no voice
in the deCiSion-making
process on campus. $200,000, assuming that nothing
is damaged in the move. KLC also
suffers a loss of 93 square feet
speaking as a DJ, I can attest that
this would be a bad thing. CD and
record storage is actually a lot
more demanding than many
people think, and with a library
that grows faster than it shrinks,
the loss of storage space isn't a
benefit
So what benefits would the
KLC move bring about? More
How did all this come about? When the project began,
KLC ~ assured that everything was still conceptual, that they
wouldn't have to move if they didn't want to, and that every
one would be ham Now it seems the committee is singing a
different tune: last week, they voted unanimously to move KLC
to Dubach, whether KLC wants it.or not. All that awaits is a
rubber stamp from the Manor House and itS'a done deal. The
irony of it is that a grand total of 2 students were among this
vote-one of whom could be seen as little more than an exten
sion of the administration anyway~d yetJean Kemp-Ware~
office is still ,billing it as a student -run initiative. Go figure.
Right from the beginning, of course, anyone with eyes
could have seen that there would be problems. The first sign
was when KLC was asked to take it on faith that the equip
ment they were promised as a reward for playing ball would
actually materialize. Call me crazy. but whenever I enter into a
business deal involving more than about $50, I like for there
to be a written record of some kind so that everyone~ clear
about what~ going on and to avoid possible hassles down the
line. And if everyone involved intended on making good on
their promises, why would the Manor House be afraid to state
on the record that KLC could have what they were promised?
This is an especially important question in light of the ever
increasing cost of the Signature Project, already tens of mil
lions of dollars over budget-nOt all of which is accounted for. , . participation in KLO Maybe, but
it~ a gamble at best, and KlC is already the best-represented
and staffed of the studf:nt media. So we could get the finan
cial Aid office into the basement of Templeton-would it re
ally kill anyone to hav«~ to walk up the stairs? Sure beats the
stroll down to the Manor House.
Sounds to me like a silly decision. But that~ not going to
stop it from being made, without KLO; approval. It~ been
made painfully clear over the past three years that students
have no voice in the decision-making process on campus, but
in this case the restruC1turing committee is reneging on some
very specific promises. What next? Will tuition fees stan jump
ing without warning or justification? Will potentially trouble
some students simply be asked to leave in the same manner as
Evan Williams?
This is not only a dangerous precedent to be setting, it is a
stupid decision to be making. But it~ already been made, for
all intensive purp05(~; any remaining doubt as to the
commi~ intentions :should be assuaged by last week~ vote,
or Michael Fords on-the-record statement that KLCs counter
proposal was Ka crock of shit," or Gordon Lavigne~ on-the
record statement that even if every student at LC signed a pe
tition against the decision, he would ignore it
So be warned. Worit and hope for the best Graduate or
transfer as soon lIS you can, while you still can.
And in the meantime, be very. very afraid. •
ASLC elections present students new opportunities, hope
by Joe G1W1man
Next ~esday. March 8, LC students
will again be given the opportunity to go to
the ballot boxes and vote for a new cast of
ASLC council members. Last Wednesday the
candidates for office toured the dorms around
campus in order to hit the stump and articu
late their individual positions on a number of
issues. 'Within the pages of this issue of the
Pio l.Dg you will also find a shon statement by
each candidate. If you are finding that these
statements are to vague to be helpful when
deciding who best fits the job, fear not, I took
it upon myself to go to these campaign
speeches and in this edition of the Pio l.Dg f~
rum page I will endorse the candidate best
suited for each job.
After some pointless hall council banter,
our most gracious MC, Tla Henderson, got
things staned off by introducing all the candi
dates. Appropriately encugh the most impor
tant position, ASLC president was first on the
agenda. The candidates are Cory Curtis and
Jeff Shaw. When you juxtapose these two can
didates it is easy to pinpoint some glaring dif
ferences. Both candidates paid lip service to
"Student \bice," without really going into any
specifics. Shaw did, however, seem more able
to speak to student concerns. He differenti
ated himself from Curtis who stressed strength
ening ties between ASLC and the administra-tion, a policy we have seen:tried repeatedly
under the current administration, leading to a
number of decisions made without any stu
dent input Shaw advocated strengthening
student autonomy in not only the ASLC but
in all student organizations. Shaw will most
certainly speak to the issues which face stu-
, dents and advocate what student will is on
,any issue. This will be a refreshing change
enduring a year which could easily be blbeled
as disastrous for student rights on camp\llS. Jeff
Shaw should be elected president
Next carne the position of 5MB chair
(Student Academic Affairs Board). Shelby
Uritz is running for this position unopposed.
Shelby has a long record of serving in ASLC
and her experience should serve her well in
this relatively unpartisan yet highly bureau
cratic office. \bte for Uritz unless you have
someone else better in mind, in whicll case
she will win anyway.
Running for VP of Budget and Finance
are Charles Turner and Brandon ~lkahi.
Zakahi was not able to attend the stumping
sessions but was able to contact me by phone
and articulate his stances to me. Esse1rttially
these candidates offer us a choice in priorities
and procedure. Turner favors reexamining
funding of all the club sports. He stated un
easiness with the current system of writing a
blank check for each club spon and not fol-lowing up with the proper check up proce
dures to see whether or not the funds are be
ing spent wisely. He also made it clear that he
favors the status quo and would change little
about the way B&F, a highly bureaucratic or
ganization, runs. Zakahi, on the other hand
places a premium on club spon funding. He
places less emphasis on funding volunteer pro
grams. He would also stop the expensive
Templeton reconversion until more student
consultation is done. Finally Zakahi favors
loosening up the procedure of B&F, making it
easier to get chartered and gain funding. Along
these lines of argument Zakahi earns the vote.
Zakahi seems more open and receptive to re
form and streamlining than does Turner and it
is high time B&F become more user friendl)!
Vote for Brandon Zakahi
Chief Justice of Peer Review Board (pRB)
rivals the ASLC president as the most impor
tant position students can elect This yean
election offers students a wonderful opportu
nity to rebuild PRB and make it more account
able to giving students fair justice. Nathan
Hobbs has put his neck on the line by propos
ing some daring ideas for PRB reform. Whether
or not all of these proposals are plausible or
not remains to be seen, but many of them will
stick and all of them will be debated. Leah
Berman has good intentions for rurming for
Chief Justice but just lacks the vision that Hobbs has at this point in time. After a year of
controVersy, PRB is in desperate need of an
overhaul and Nathan Hobbs is the man.
The position ofVP of IP (information and
programming) is betweenJon Roth and Kevia
Jeffrey. Ms. Jeffrey was not present to make her
pitch for the job but Mr. Roth was, he may as
well have stayed home. He really offered no
real reasons to vote for him. His main message
was that he would do a better job of "getting
ASLC information out.· The only think Mr.
Roth forgot to tell us was how he would do this.
If you know Ms. Jeffrey and like her vote for
her. If you are ambitious, this seems like a good
opponunity to stan a write in candidacy and
try to get yourself a nice ASLC job.
Finally we have'the office of Student rep
resentative. Three of these are elected but only
two candidates showed up. I was informed
that there are in fact three candidates rwming.
Only one of the two candidates who showed
up seemed to offer any innovative ideas. An
drea Williams brought up proposals such as
making a meal plan optional for second year
students and fighting to make Inventing
America a one semester class. Matt Cooper
spoke only in generalities and really gave me
no real reason to vote for him. So when it
comes to voting for a student rep. vote for
Williams and write yourself in, you may just
win. • r the Pioneer o 13
KLC vs the Adnrinistration, just who is right?
KLC has support of the students in KLC and the Administration
their stand, that should count should kiss and make up
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
KLC should not be forced to move
from its present location.
There are numerous reasons why
KLC should not be forced to move, some
are as follows:
1. KLC was told they would not be
forced to move, and it was their decision
to move or not.
2. KLC has good reasons not to
move.
3. The board who voted to move
KLC was misinformed by Amber
Ontiveros and Gordon Lavigne, members
ofASLC.
4. There is overwhelming support
to NOT move KLC.
5. It will cost between $100,000 and
$200,000 to move KLC.
6. 1be rest of the Templeton Restruc
ture moves could go on without KLC.
KLC was told they would not be
forced to move, and it was their decision
to move or not. From the beginning of
the Templeton Restructure Committee
(IRC) meetings, KLC was told it had the
option whether to m9ve or not. KLC has
it in the minutes of their meetings that
they had the option to move or not to
move. Gordon Lavigne, ASLC president
said he does not remember if he made
such a promise to KLC or not. It is also
in the minutes from the TRC meetings:
they asked KLC numerous times whether
they definitely wanted to move or not,
and KL.c said no, they were still looking
into it.
After KLC looked into the matter,
had many discussions, and got estimates
from contractors, they decided not to
move. They gave this decisjon in writ
ing to the TRC and published a copy in
the Pioneer Log stating their reasons for
not moving.
'Once KLC decided not to move, they
were insulted by members of the Tce
board. Their decision was disregarded
and they were told they would be forced
to move.
Second, KLC has good reasons not
to move. One reason is the loss of space
(Gordon promised KLC would have
equal or greater space if they moved, they
are actually losing 93 square feet.) KLC
feels their decor would be regulated if
they moved upstairs to a more 11isible.
One administrator when looking at KLCs
current decor, said ·Oh, you'll have to
tone this down if you move upstairs.
Also, KLC likes the space they have now
and don't want to move.
Misinformation is the third reason
KLC should not be fo~ed to move. The
whole Templeton restructuring was pre
sented to the TRC last Thursday as an
·all or nothing deal-. Members of the
committee were not presented with the
option of moving the rest of the offices,
but not moving KLC. Since the meet
ing, Gordon has said it is not an all or
nothing deal. ~ rest of the moves could
go forward without KLC moving.
Also, the board was told the move
had ·overwhelming student support -by
Amber Ontiveros. When asked what stu
dents supported the move, Gordon said
ASLC supported all the moves without
KLC, SAAB supported the move, as did
the COMM board. This is false. ASLC
did not vote to move KLC, and if a vote
was taken now, they would more than likely vote to support KLC in their deci
sion not to move. The Communication
Board supports KLC and does not want
to see KLC moved. At least two of the
SAAB members, as well as the receotly
forced-to -resign head of SAAB do not
want to see KLC moved. The board who
voted to move KLC were given false in
formation and therefore did not have all
the facts when making their decision.
Fourth, there is overwhelming sup
port NOT to move KLC. The COMM
board including LCIV, the Pioneer Log,
~ literary Review, Synirgia, The Year
book and the Meridian, the Plattform ,
SOFA, members of ASLC and
SAAB all support KLC
and do not want it
to be moved.
KLC has
collected
almost
600
sig-
n a
tu res
to NOT
m 0 v e
KLC. KLC
held a meeting last
Wednesday to s~pport
KLC 40 to 50 students showed
their very strong support of KLc... I
would appreciate it if for once student
voice was listened to, instead of the stu
dents being told "this is what~ best for
you, you do not know what you want.-
KLC is a very expensive office to
move. Some of their equipment includ
ing the transmitter cannot be moved, and
must therefore be replaced completely.
The wiring and equipment adds up to
between $100,000 and $200,000. The
cost will probably be around $125,000.
This reason alone may be enough reason
not to move KLC up a flight of stairs.
Finally, the rest of the moves in
Templeton can go on without moving
KLC. The rest of the media wiD still be
put on the second floor,' creating a bit
more of a sense of community. Offices
will not be moved off campus or into
trailers ifKI..C does not move, everything
else will still go as planned.
While this whole plan was a good
one in theory, it is not good at all in prac
tice. The losses incredibly outweigh any
benefits the college may gain by forcing
KLCtomove.

by writing to any of these people: Michael
Ford, Dennis Madson, Michael Mooney,
Gordon Lavigne or the PIonur lDg. • by Kiley Dumas
KLC should move. The situation sur
rounding the move ofKLC has been messy
and unproductive. Both sides claim the
other misled them and treated them un
fairly, sometimes even lying. However, ig
noring the poor processes that have been
used, the overall goal surrounding the
Templeton Construction Plan is fairly solid.
I believe KLC should move for these rea
sons.
1. They will receive a new transmit
ter, and possibly newer, more "21st Cen
tury" equipment .
2. KLC will have more visibility with
their new office space.
3. The college is will
ing to make con
cessions that
would in
crease the
quality
o f
trans
mission.
4. It
would be un
fair for the rest of
Templeton to sacrifice their
current space and be the only
group that does not have to move.
5. The level of depanmental cohesive
ness will be greatly enhanced for all.
There are two aspects in this issue that
I would like to address. The first is that
both sides are at an impasse and cannot go
further without engaging in fist fights, and
the second addresses what is being said and
how much of it is hearsay and how much
of it shows the lack of constructive com
mUnication being used. ,
The move by KLC has been an emo
tional and high tension issue for the last
six months. People have been silenced and
lied to, the administration and the KLC
Board have been at each others throats for
quite awhile, with no ground gained or
given by either side.
I think it is time for both sides. to
apologize for any misconceptions that have
been made and any problems that have
been created. Tensions and emotions are
flying left and right, with no real facts com
ing clear, and both sides ending up argu
ing on supposition and hearsay. They need
to start over.
Both sides are at an impasse, and un
til they recogniu that fact, only hardship
and arguments will come from negotiations
or discussions. The KLC Board recently
had a forum regarding the need to save KLC from the administration . I went to it in
hopes of becoming more informed and
gaining a better understanding of the is
sues. What I found was that KLC feels they
have been treated poorly and unfairly by
the administration, and they believe the ad
ministration will tell no truths regarding
the move. They also feel that they are pow
erless to negotiate.
On the other hand, the administration
feels that KLC has been unreasonable and
uncooperative. They feel that KLC will not
budge and there will be no cooperative
move on the behalf of1<LC.
My second point addresses the ben
efits of the overall move by KLC and every
other department that is affected by the re
modeling of Templeton Center. I believe
that KLC should move for the benefit of
the whole. When you look at the overall
issues surrounding the shuffling of
Templeton, no one would want to be in
convenienced. 1£ it wasn't for the benefit
of everyone involved, no one would really
want to move, but all of the groups involved
recognize the utility of the overall plan and
therefore consent to the inconvenience.
Keep,in mind that I advocate that the
process itseH was very unfair. The methods
implored by both sides were not conducive
to obtaining positive goals. Maybe Gordon
Lavigne made mistakes in his methods of
handling the situation, but that does not
mean the whole process should suffer for it
That is where my problem with KLC
comes from. What makes their right to
space more important than any other group
or department? They feel they have been
lied to, and that they were told they would
not have to move if they didn't want to.
Everyone involved has made mistakes, and
both sides, I would think, would agree that
mistakes have been made. I~ time to tran
scend towards the common goals of both
sides and set aside past blunders.
, It seems to me that if the administra
tion put their offers in writing KLC would
be happy. 1£ that is what it takes, then it
should be done. While I say that past mis
takes have been made, the problems won't
go away if we just ignore them. In starting
over both sides need to remember past mis
takes and keep them in mind during the
negotiating process. Through this avenue
both the administration and KLC can find
a path that leads to positive goals for both
sides. Sure, maybe KLC will have to move,
but the administration could offer some
quality amenities that would make the
move less painful.
The one significant problem I have is
that KLC seems to think they have a right
to their current space. They do not They
don't own the building and the only claim
they have to the space is the fact that they
have been down there for 30 years. Some
times change is good, like ~into a
, new house. It may be a litt1e smaller, but
the quality of the space is enhanctd. New
facilities will create a better prOduct.
KLC also believes that they have a right
above and beyond what other groups have.
Why should KLC have the right to con
tend their change while every other group
can't, or isn't willing to for the betterment
of the whole.
Keep in mind that my whole point is
that while the process has been poor (to
say the least), the end goals have signifi
cant value. If both sides can recognized
that fact, then a solution will follow. • ·C-

Foreman, Lam lead Pios in nail bitter victory
by Jamie]. Diamond
(PampUn Sports Center) They
did it again. The mens basketball .
team used clutch shooting and ma
ture play to beat Willamette Univer
sity and advance to the NAIA II na
tional tournament.
The Pios lead for 17 of the 20
first half minutes, yet found them
selves tied 29 all at halftime. The
Pios came out strong after the inter
mission and built a seven point lead
off of baskets by Dinari Foreman,
Brandon Nicholson and a 3-pointer
by Rick Gonzales. Willamette for
ward Jason Thompson responded to
the Pio outburst and canned a 3-
pointer. After a Pio turnover, Th
ompson again found his 3-point
perch and canned another from the
left comer. Carl Schreck tried to re
spond, but his 3-pointer just
rimmed out and Willamette was off
again. With 13:46 left in the game
Thompson spotted up and hit his
third consecutive 3-pointermakin g
the score 45-44 Pios.
The Pioneers could have folded
up their tent right there, but camp
ing season would have to wait.
Perry lam fed a cutting Foreman
who swished net and gave the Pios
some needed breathing room.
Willamette then took the lead
off a powerful two-hand dunk by
Duray Thirdgill. Next time down,
Foreman corralled a rebound,
kicked it out to Schreck, who
calmly stroked nylon from beyond
the arc. Willamette answered right
back with a 3-pointer of their own
by Dave Snyder which gave the
Bearcats a two point lead at 56-
54. Rudy Crew goes up for a perfect jump shot.
Next time down the floor the
Pio offense seemed to sputter, that
is until Gonzales realized the shot
clock was down to two seconds.
Gonzales silenced the Beareat aowd
with an in your face buzzer beating
3-pointer to give the Pios the lead.
Whitney Brake gave the Pios some
clutch scoring and the lead in
creased to four off of his two buck
ets.
After two made Willamette
free-throws, the score was 61-59
Pios and the game was ~ry much
up for grabs. Thats when Foreman decided to grab it. Foreman got the
ball from lam just to the left of the
Trailblazer emblem, looked down at
the ban and launched. After just
missing the ceiling speaker,
Foremans shot rainbowed in (or
three big points and staned an J.8-6
Pio run.
After dialing 1-800-clutch,
Foremans chest pounding antics got
the aowd back in the game and off
went the Pioneers. Next time down
Foreman came up good from eight
feet after a nice inside feed by
Gonzales. After a aruple Willamette
free-throws, Gonzales spotted up
and kept the Pio surge going with
an NBA trey of his own. Gonzales
put the Pios up by six with 4:43 left,
but by no means was this one over. Brandon Nicholson stole a
Willamet 1te pass and got the Pios
back on their side of the court. The
Pioneers couldn't find a good look
at the basket and the shot clock was
winding down. lam got the ball
near the 3-point stripe, blew past his
defender :and drained a 17 footer to
put the Pios ahead by 8 with 3: 12
remaining.
After a Pioneer timeout, the
Pios again struggled to get a sholoff
£rom their set offense, and again they
caned on the heroics ofUm to save
the day. l.am took his defender to
the hoop, found a crack of daylight
and somehow made a 12 foot
double cllUtchingjumper to put the
Pios up by nine with 2:18 to go.
Willmnette made a 3-pointer to
Mark Pietrok's Health Tip
Having trouble with summertime carcinogens?
Yes, you guessed it. Its time for another impor
tant 'tip' from everybody's favorite athletic trainer.
Have you noticed the great Portland weather we've
been having? Well, for those who haven't cracked
open the blinds for the past week, it's been sunny.
With sunshine there is a chance to over-tan and this
weeks 'tip' should allow for sunny enjoyment coupled
with a few helpful precautions to keep in mind.
Sun is our friend, but taken for granted, the old
fire-ball can damage our health. Every spring college
students just like yourselves take to the beaches and
parks to darken up from the big yellow ball. Darken
ing up, however, is not necessarily a healthy habit, it
can become harmful. The ¢inning ozone layer is
added incentive to heed the follOwing advice.
Avoid sunlamps: Tanning parlors and sunlamps
do the same thing as the sun itself, they still increase
your chance of skin cancer.
Know when UV rays an strongest: Between 10 a.m.
and 3 p.m. is a good time to avoid the suns rays.
Also higher altitudes should increase the amount of precaution .
Undastand sunblock and use it: Even cloudy
weather can bring on a sunburn. Use sunscrean or
sunblock if you plan to be outside for more than a
few minutes. Just walking the dog or cleaning out the
above ground sewage tank can cause a bum in less
than 112 hour.
Sunblock guidelines:
1) Use sunsreen lotion containing PABA.
2) Make sure your sunscreen is of SPF 15 or
higher.
3) Apply sunscreen aJil hour before going into
the suns rays.
4) Sunblock wears off when you swim so reap
ply often.
Its easy to just run outs,ide unprepared, but with
only a few minutes of prep.aration you can be more
prepared to take on the suns powerful rays. So until
next time, get a hat, put on some SPF 15 or higher
sunscreen and just remember, "Regulators ....... Health-
Up'" + get within six, but thats the closest
they would ever get. Strong Pio de
fense and clutch free-throw shoot
ing by Lam, Foreman and .
Nicholson preserved the win down
the stretch.
-Foreman led the charge with a
game high 23 points and 5 re
bounds. lam tore loose for 17 to
go along with 5 assists. Nicholson
had 10 points to compliment his 12
boards and Gonzales' 12 points
came in handy off of 4-7 3-point
shooting.

seemed as if the Pios were going to run away
with this one.
WiIlamette center Jenny Joseph made an
effort to carry her struggling team as she scored
the next two buckets for the Beartats and added
a free throw. Pioneer center Stacey Cottle was

KLC forced to move in Templeton restructuring
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
and Justin Francis President Gordon Lavigne said it is a "done
deal ... KLC will be moved".
If all goes as planned, KLC will be forced
to move without their consent
The Templeton _ Conversion Committee,
made up of administrators, staff and some of
the offices who will be effected by the move,
recommended the move in a meeting,
Thursday. March 23. Though the vote was
unanimous, representatives from KLC, LCIV
and the Pioneer Log did not suppon the

Paperwork to replace
arena style registration
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
T he~ will be no arena registration this Spring. Instead
students will fill out two forms, first an advanced selection
form an then another registration form. I -e change is a
result of student dissatisfaction with the arena registration.
"Last term there was quite a lot of dissatisfaction , frustra
tion with the arena. So, what we're going to try to do this
tenn is dispense with the arena," said Mervyn Brockett, assis
tant vice president and acting registrar.
After students fill out their advanced selection form, all
students will be placed into their first class, and then all stu
dents will be placed in their second class.
It is done this way so students will have a better chance
9f getting at least one of their first choices. Selection will stiD
be made based on class standing and the random lottery.
MA very high percentage of students will get their first
course," Brockett said.
The advanced selection form will be in student's boxes
next week. Students then have two weeks to return the form.

After spring break, students will receive a preliminary list of
the classes they got into and another form to sign up for more

Lavigne said this show of suppon will not
change his mind concerning the move. "There!;
not 1800 signatures that will change that view,"
he said.
On March 8, a poll will ask students'
opinions about the restructuring. However,
Lavigne said, the student poll is
inconsequential because the poD gauges moves
which will happen regardless. Othermembers
of ASLC said the poll will matter and students'
opinions will be taken into consideration.
"I don't think students really care where
KLC is," Lavigne said.
There are pros and cons to all sides of the
issue. If KLC moves upstairs, they have been
promised a new transmitter and general
equipment. One of KLC's main concerns,
however, is that they have not received these promises in writing.
"The only thing we have received in
writing, is that we won't receive anything in
writing, ~ said Matt Sherman, KLC general
manager.
The three main concerns of the station
are as follows:
1. No guarantees have been put in
writing.
2. Promises have been consistently
broken and KLC has been lied to.
3. The cost to the college is too great.
President Michael Mooney said KLC is a
very small point in a larger plan. "It really
cannot be taken out and analyzed separately."
he said.
Lavigne said he does not think KLC has
presented their real reasons for not moving.

A second change in registration concerns the registra
tion announcements students normally receive. The regis
tration announcements booklet will be "less daunting.·
"We're trying to get students an easier form to read,"
Brockett said. VP for 5MB chosen amidst controversy
The booklet will be a guide to registration. Also, the
registration booklet will be reissued in the Spring with all
additional changes in classes, times, etc. to make for more
accurate inf~rrnation. In years past, there has been only one
issue of the Registration Booklet.
Brockett said there are some positive aspects to arena
registration, such as being able to sign up for a class instantly
or talk to a teacher about the class. However, Brockett also
heard many complaints .
"The arena led to a lot of desperate and irrational kinds
of thin~, students just signed up for anything to get out of
there," he said.
"Arena had been criticized and there were several articles
in tM Pionur Wg about it. People had reached the point
where they felt it was not useful," Brockett added. • by JeJna McCuistion
Jason Alexander was filnally voted in as the new Stu
dent Academic Affairs BO~lrd Vice President (SAAB) on
Wednesday March 1st. This mid-semester election resulted
from the resignation of Andrea Stubbs, the former VP. Her
resignation occurred early in February as requested by Gor--
don Lavigne, the ASLC President. The question of the po
sition vacancy has remained unanswered until this week.
SAAB is an organization that allocates money to stu
dents who submit proposalls for independent research in
three areas; conference grants, independent research, and
as visiting scholars. There a-re 18 board members, one rep
resenting each depanment with a Vice President that also
acts as a Student Council member.
Lavigne asked Stubbs to resign on the basis that she had broken a number of the ASLC bylaws that outline Coun
cil member guidelines. He said that Mshe was not fulfilling
the responsibilities of her position. ~
In section 2 of the ASLC bylaws, it is stated that should
an ASLC council member fail to attend two or more of the
regularly scheduled meetings, the MPresident may ask the
~Student Council memberto resign." According to Lavigne
and Amber Ontiveros, SAAB board member and Vice Presi
dent of Budget and Finance, Stubbs had not met this re
quirement.
Ontiveros added that Stubbs had nOl been notifying
board members of upcoming meetings nor had she sent out
agendas, both responsibilities of the position. The VP is
also reqUired to attend scheduled office hours.

Lewis & Clark student will be paying $21,890
for tuition and room and board.
For the 1995-96 school year basic tuition
will rise to $16,820 from $15,800 this year.
This is the greatest increase since 1991 when
tuition rose by 7%. The cost of room and board
(based on the 14 meal plan) will be $5,070,
up from $4,790. The total increase of tuition,
fees, room and board will be 1,300.
Students studying in off-campus and over
seas programs will be experiencing the great
est increases. In general program costs are ris
ing by $700. Those traveling to Munich for
the 1995-96 year long program there, will be
paying $14, 700 in basic costs. This is around
$900 more than students paid for the current
school year.
These amounts were set by the Budget
Council, made up of the deans and the presi

Stubbs was unclear as to what Lavigne was
referring to, and Lavigne did not define what

did not understand how this applied to her.
He said, "yes, Stubbs did not fulfill her duty to
ASlC but the way in which they went about

Campus Safety leaves LC student in the cold
by Cynthia MalIeck
lewis fit dark student, Mike Warner,
waited two and a half hours in front of Fred
Meyer for Bus 39, destined never to corne. He
took advantage of the school closure, due to
snow a few weeks ago, to go to Fred~ to shop
for a few hours.
Unforumately, the bus ran into a ditch and
Warner faced a tough decision: spend the night
at Freds or try calling for a ride. He decided
on the latter, but it was a lot harder than he
thought.
Warner called Campus Safety and thought they would be eager to help a student in
trouble.
Campus Safety would not pick him up
and Warner faced returning to LC under his
own creativity. A friend on campus was able
to locate a ride back to LC for Warner.
This raises the question, who is respon
sible for the safety of students in times like
these? Campus Safety responded with sev
eral reasons why there were unable to go to
Fred~.
First, they said their service vehicles were
not equipped for snowy weather and sending
I someone out would put campus property and
staff personnel in danger. Secondly; when
school is officially closed, safety vehicles do not
run.
The main reason Campus Safety gave for
not retrieving the student was a policy issue.
The Campus Safety staff is only responsible
only for students on campus. Personnel could
be fired' for not being available to hdp an on
campus student in need.
No exceptions are made to this policy.
Campus Safety is solely responsible for the
safety on students on the LC campus. •

Driving
alternatives
by Maren Souders,
for the cutemative trlD1SPOrtation group
Do you commute to school? Did yon have
trouble finding a parking space on campus to
day? Have you ever parked illegally; and got
ten a ticket for it?
Driving to school can be a hassle. While
it may seem convenient to drive, it is frustrat
ing to cruise looking for a parking space, hop
ing you 'can get to class on time. Cars are also
a major source of air poDution, which contrib
utes to global warming. Traffic congestion not
only frustrates those driving in it, bu~ eventu
-ally requires expensive measures to alleviate.
And cars use fossil fuels which will be gone in
a few decades.
Everyone knows about these problems,
which have the potential to become cata
strophic. Everyone a1so has the oppotturuty
to be a part of their solution 1bere are alter
natives to driving alone which can contribute
toward making our environment better.
Carpooling. biking, and busing are solu
tions which people from campus already use.
There may not be designated carpool spaces
this year but carpooling can save you money
on gas as weD as being a good way to socialize
while you commute. 1here is a carpool match
ing bOard near the mailboxes in Templeton,
right next to the computer store. Also in the
works is an e-rnail-based carpool program.
Taking the bus is another great way to
socialize. Or, you can read or do last-mlnute
homework. If you've never taken the bus and
you don't know how it works, don't be ner
vous-just give it a try. It goes to Fred Meyer
and back every half hour, and it~ only a dollar
to ride. The college subsidizes monthly bus
passes at 20%, so a two-zone pass only costs
$26.40 instead of$33. (Buy them upstairs from
the info desk, in Kate Schweitzerl; office, at the
end of the previous month or the first week of
the month.) If you live on campus, hop on the
bus to do your shopping at Safeway or Fredd~
or,go downtown. While you're still living on
campus is a good time to get to know the bus
system.
Bicycling, of course., is emissi~free, and
it's also good exert:ise. Bikes can be an excel
lent fonn of basic transportation, in addition
to their recreational uses.
For some people, driving alone is the only
practical option for getting to school. But the
vast majority of us have other alternatives. It
makes sense to take a loo~ at them, and to use
them at least some of the time, for a host of
ttasonS. No more parking hassles is just one
ofthern. • ~Pag.6 NEWS the Pioneer Log -F Tidal: March 3, 1995

Bird sisters hope to make people tlllnk twice about driving drunk
BY ALYSON SMITH
What kind of man would write a book
about how to get drunk drivers off the hook
after causing two young womens' backs and
necks to break while he was driving drunk?
The man who rear-ended Arwen, and Sierra
Bird, while he was driving home drunk from
a local Bar and Grille. His name is Kevin
Neilson, and he isn't serving time. He just
can't obtain a license for three years, and he
owes the Birds' a mere., in comparison to the
damage, $150,000 restitution.
Do the Bird sisters feel angry and venge
ful now that their lives have been irreconcil
ably altered; Sierra, who now suffers from oc
casional memory dysfunction; and Arwen,
who is paralyzed from the waist down? No,
they have struggled through a veritable bell
and have come out on the other side with a
positive message. like Arwen says, "[their]
message is best heard among people [their]
own age-, these people include all of us, and
the message is, "if you've been drinking, don't
drive-. Most of us can probably think of a
time or two when we knew we shouldn't have
driven after drinking. but did anyway after
convincing ourselves that we weren't too drunk
and that it would be too much hassle to find
another safe way home. Well, when yOu take
a look at Arwen, you might feel angry and
decide that Kevin Neilson is a worthless per
SOIl. Instead, take a look at yourself and make
finn decision to never again drink and drive.
ItS not like we're in bigh school anymore, mom
and dad won't be asking why we didn't drive our car home after a night on the town.
On February 23, 1993, Arwen was driv
ing herself, and her sister Sierra, horne after
being at a LC party. At that time, Sierra was iil
Senior in bigh school and Arwen was a Frosh
at Lewis & Clark. They were traveling at about
45 mph when they were rear-ended. Kevin
had been driving at about 70 mph, while rac'
ing a car in the other lane. This was right afta
leaving the Lake Oswego Bar and Grille. Nei,
ther Arwen, nor Sierra, can remember exactly
what happened, although it was apparent to
everyone at the scene, that the car had lifted
up off of the pavement and then had rolled
down the embankment. The car was so
wrecked that Arwen and Sierra were stuck
inside the cab for 40 minutes before the jaws
of life" could cut the top off of their car and
pull them out. Meanwhile, Kevin played ilt
off cool and none of the cops thought to giVf~
him a breathal~r test. They all thought thalt
the girls were so drunk that the accident was
their fault. Four hours later, when one cop
decided to give Kevin a breathalyzer test, his
BAC. was still .12. Don't forget, the legal
limit iri Oregon is .08, and his was .12, four
hours later. Until this day, Kevin claims tht~
accident was the girls' fault He likes to be··
lieve that Arwen pulled in front of him. Go
figure.
Sierra and Arwen have truly learned the
truth behind the saying, "anythingtha tdoesn ~t
kill you makes you stronger." After the acei-·
dent, Sierra, in a neck brace, went on the play
the lead in her high school play. Arwen Spenlt
six weeks in the hospital learning about her
-paralyzation and how to take care of herself.
And, after taking a semester off from Lewis &~
Clark, Arwen enrolled at PSU for summer "
anything that
doesn't kin you
manhesyou
stronger. "

school. She didn't want to get behind, and she
was eager to get back into life. Together, they
learned how important they are to each other,
and how much easier recovery was for both of
them since they still had each other to lean
on.
Unfommately. Kevin has only sent them one letter. It was typed, they feel, by his law
yer. Instead of cursing him for being a mis
take to humanity, Arwen and Sierra feel that
he can be the icon for what not to be. Next
time you're out for a drink or two, don't just
think twice about not driving, just don't drive,
pmoo. •

Sick of pizza delivery? Heres a
new idea if you are stuck at home
The Platt form • 1S accepting There is nothing more convenient that having food delivered to
your door. There is a good reason most college students memorize the
phone number of Pizza Hut or Dominos before they master the art of
long distance dialing from the dorms. Room Service has taken the idea
one step further. Now instead of being limited to pizza, you can order
through Room Service to a number of the are:a~ restaurants. Now,
there is a hitch and iB an.expensive one. For each restaurant you order
from you'D be slapped with $9.90 delivery fee if it~ being delivered to
the 97219 zip code. Pretty steep if you are just ordering for yourself
and a friend, but get some people together and give it a try. Our food
arrived exactly an hour after I picked up the phone. applications for new managers.

This was the second time we had food delivered to the house, so
ordering is easy as directions are stored in their computer. I picked up
the phone at 8:00, gave my order and in a few minutes they called back
with a total and an estimated time of arrival. Forty-five minutes turned
out to be an hour, but in the hour plus it would have taken to go out
and eat I'd had a shower, read some microeconomics, checked my e
mail, made some phone calls and eaten a hot dinner.
We ordered food from Taj Mahal, but it doesn't seem fair to review
the food as it is well traveled by the time it gets to the plate; just like
Mom~ cookies don't taste quite as good by the time they reach you
through the mail room. Sometime in the future I'll try to go down
there and do a review in the restaurant.
Obviously you can't order without a menu which means that you're
going to have to plan a little before your first order. I'D take a copy of
the booklet down to the info desk so that you can go down and look at
it or you can call Room Service at 643-9993 and ask them to send you
one. Tune for LC tc
LC gears up to s~
through the trials
-AS I. PRE ENT -
ASLC has become an intricate combination of
students, student government members, faculty.
administration and beyond. The goal of the ASLC
President is to manage and maintain this network as to
provide the best access and opportunity available to the
Lewis Est Clark student body. A plethora of resoun:es
and knowledge remains behind many doors on the
campus -practically untouched by those who can
benefit from it. The ASLC President has the ability to
direct these benefits to those who can use them. In
. running for President I fully intend to be a spokespt. .. "
son for those who desire it -directing concerns and
requests to the proper avenues. The ability to listp..n and
in tum convey related information are of the most
valuable assets to the ASLC PresidenL With dedication
to and understanding of the issues, Student Council
has the ability to greatly enhance the educational
e.xP'"..rience of this college. The first thing you should know about me is that I
hate politics. By "politics," I mean procedural game
playing that seeks to exclude the people it is supposed
to be for. This kind of politics isn't only bad for
everyone on campus, but it makes it no fun to be a par
of the system at all.
The root of the problem is a system that rules
from above without listening to student sentiment
This is something I think needs to be changed, and
thats why I'm running. Here are three things I can say
for sure: First, I'm going to put student interest first
and foremost Any idea I have is going to be designed
with student needs in mind, and subject at all times to
approval by the students. Second, I am an honest guy
who is not going to be influenced by traditional
political deal-making . I'm not going to compromise
what I think is right for the LC community for
anything. Third, if I didn't see a reason for change, I
wouldn't be running. I am running because someone
has to change the current structure from within. Giver.
limited space, I can't list all my ideas, but I can be
reached at 977-2847 or at email shaw for those with
further questions.

Kevi.l. Je¥¥ __ e~ Jo.\ (c*k
In light of the new two-year boarding contracts, there is a greater necessity for
students to be adequately informed. The increase of students on campus should be
reflected in the amount of events being offered to them. As a first year student I found it
difficult to find a variety of activities to attend. I also viewed a lack of interaction with
the surrounding community. I desire the office of Vice President for Information and
Programming, so that I may enhance the current system of providing information and
activities for the Lewis Est Clark community. My oP!Y promise is to do my best in
creatively planning and infOrming events for Lewis Est Clark College. I have been the VP of Information and Programming since the beginning of this
semester. Since I have been in this office I have learned the process and know what
needs to be done and changed. One thing that needs to be changed is the sense of
community on campus. lbough not directed by ASLC Bylaws, this office can serve as
the center from which such events may occur. I am establishing a network through
which more academic information may be forwarded to the students. I am also
working on more speakers appearing at L&C.

KLC fights to save their freedom from
shortsighted restructuring plan
Administration's plan
would waste both
money and resources
To the Editor,
On February 23, 1995, the planning committee for the
restructuring of the Templeton College Center voted to rec
ommend moving KLC, the student run radio station at Lewis
&. Clark College, as pan of a plan to restructure Templeton
This decision was made against KLC~ wishes. When KLC en
tered into talks about the by the Capital Committ.ee. The money that they are proposing
to devote to KlC colllld be better used on other building
projects. Or it could be reallocated to something the college
needs more desperately. such as financial aid. The benefits
from moving KlC are small and unclear, and they do not war
rant such a large expenditure.
A leading reason for KLO refusal to move is the fact that
we, the Board of KLC, have been given false guarantees, and
lied to repeatedly about our options. Gordon Lavigne prom
ised KlC equal or greater space upstairs, which we desper
ately need for CD storage and our ever expanding amount of
technical equipment As the plan stands now, we would lose
space (75 sq. ft.). We were repeatedly assured by Gordon
Lavigne from the outset of
possible move, we were led
to believe that it was only a
preliminary discussion of
the matter. KLC agreed to
discuss the move with the
understanding that we
would not be forced to
move. but would beaDowed
to withdraw at any time if
plan did not adequatelyad
dress KLC's concerns and
needs. Presently. KLC is be
ing forced by the adminis
tration and ASlC President
Gordon Lavigne to move

and they have been disre

that promise by voting to

These costs include physical construction, rewiring, sound
proofing, windows, and necessary equipment required for the
new space. This is a totally unnecrssary expenditure for the
"benefits· as outlined by the admiJ;ristration and Gordon
Lavigne. Why should the student body stand for this unnec

put to? The money set aside is for the construction on campus

our operational needs and gives us a high degree. of -owner
ship· over the decor and other aspects of the station environ
ment, as well as good visibility. I<I..O current decor would be
in jeopardy if this move were to take platt. KlC is afraid ilia
moving to the middle of Templeton will bring new regulations
on decor. The people proposing this move have failed to ad
dress this concern -req1llests for written assurances for visual
autonomy have been repeatedly denied.
The idea of this "restructuril)g'" was to give lewis &. Clark .
College a better sense of ·communi~ by placing aD of the
student media together "lith aD of the ASlC offices. The move
would also make the basement ofTempleton a Student finan
cial Center by grouping 1!he Cashi~ Office, Student Financial
Services, and the Re.gistirarS Office together. By moving Stu
dent Financial Services together with these offices, the admin
istration and Gordon hoped to make it more convenient for
students. Students use these services together at the begin
ning of the term when the Cashierli Office is upstairs nc:xl to
the Thayerme.eting rooms. KlO proposal would put Student
Financial Services wheI1e the commuter lounge currently is,
right around the comer from where the Cashien Office is dur
ing the beginning of the 1lerm. KLC~ proposal to have Student
Financial Services upstairs would make it even more conve
nient for students when 'the offices are the busiest. and would
save hundreds of thousands dollars for the college in unneces
sary moving costs .
Without moving KLC, Student Financial Services and the
Cashi~ Office would be separated by a staircase, and the col
lege would be able to use: these hundreds of thousands of dol
lars for more beneficial construction around campus. KLC
supports the restructuring ofTempleton, and bringing the rest
of the campus media into Templeton, but we cannot condone
the waste of money and questionable technical feasibility used
in a forceful move ofKlC There is no point in moving KLC.
Only a small minority O1f the administration (Michael Ford,
Michael 5estrlc, Wayne lPederson, and Dennis Madson, plus
the other miscellaneous interests on the Templeton Restruc
turing Committee), and Gordon Lavigne suppon this forceful
move of KlC We are appealing to students and faculty who
are tired of seeing money-wast ed on this caJ'npus, and ask you
to be vocal by supporting KlC

A little knowledge and a chainsaw make a dangerous duo
To The Editor,
1 am rarely one to expound on the joys of
ignorance, but in some cases, 1 am unfortu
nately forced to take the staIXl that indeed "Ig
norance IS Bliss." It was reported recently
that the school now has two members ofPhysi
cal Plant who are certified arborists. 1 was
happy to learn that the administration had
spent money on the education needed to beau
tify the campus and 1 had hopes that the
lmowledge would be put to good use. How
ever, it appears nothing new has been learned
other than which trees to cut down and the
proper way to do it. Au, TIS

SfA-,.~··· ro,a. ~ow ...
On my trip from Templeton to my donn
room this afternoon,I noticed 13 trees, or shall
1 say stumps, that had been cut since our ar
rival to campus this school year. Five of which
were cut down following the recent snow. 1
will likely be rebuked by Physical Plant (and
in fact 1 encourage that they respond so that I,
and my fellow students, might better under
stand their reasoning) that they have not cut
near that many' trees down. However, as the
familiar bumper sticker states ·Stumps Don't
Ue." 1 am additionally frustrated with the rea
soning 1 have been given for the cutting of the
trees. On another ocasion, following the recent
snow, 1 questioned a Physical Plant member
on their reasoning concerning the tree that
used to exist next to the stairs leading up to no sense to me. I had always been under the
impression that trees naturally bend under the
snow. Trees do indeed exist in the mountains
where it snows far more often than here in has braved the e1emen~ and survived longer
than the others? That a tree is "too old" surely
can't be one of the reasons that Physical Plant
learned during their arborist education for the
removal of a tree. 1 haven't noticed that there

Administrations plans ignore student opinion
To the Editor,
Back in November; ·kI.c entered into negotiations to possibly move
KLC. We were told we would not be moved without our consent Since
then much political turmoil has clouded the issue. 1 will try to clear
things up.
Politics aside, the objective issue is whether the college should spend .
$150,000 to move KLC upstairs, or have a staircase between the CashierS
Office and Student Financial Services. As a student 1 am willing to walk
those stairs the one or two times 1 do walk between those offices per
semester. As a student 1 would not benefit much from moving KLC. 1
think the money should be used for more important "capital projects", or
should be reallocated to something else -like more Financial Aid (an
extra $800+ per undergrad student). More persona11~ I<LC was lied to.
Now I<LC is being moved without consent from KLC or from the stu
dents at large. Just the fact that KLC is being FORCED to move is reason
enough for me to oppose this move.
1 am in favor of restructuring Templeton, but 1 am not in favor o£ a
forceful move of KLC.
-Uland Pdcson To the Editor,
1 am a DJ at KLC as well as a freshman, which means I'm a guinea
pig for the -new reic:h" of Lewis & Clark. The thing that bothers me
about the KLC move is the same thing that bothers me about the two
year residency requirement, -the change to semesters, the Campus life
RNcampus safetyl student harassment committee. 1 am bothered by the
fact that all the decisions made regarding these issues, were or are being
made against the common will of students. The administration is start
ing a war with the stlildent body by putting the students wants and con
cerns on the farthest back burner in order to make way for the new 75
gazillion dollar goal they are trying to reach, which will ultimately change
the image of the schoo,l to something no student, not even "Flash Gordon,"
has any say in shaping. 1 wonder if good professors and small classes are
worth being dicked around for the next four years.
Hopefully student government will realize that although KLC isn't
very popular, they are less popular and less accessible. Why not put all
the administrators in there offices, or are those going to be used for
dorms next year?

Trees fall victim
to Physical Plant
To The Editors,
1 have a question about the
trees. Where are they all going? I'm
not alone in noticing that everyday
it seems another tree has fallen to
the chainsaws of Physical Plant,
without any apparent reason for
their destruction.
First it was the tree by KLC that
had been partially rooted up in the
snow. That was almost understand
able. Then it was the tree between
Platt and Howard, whose carcass has
been lying there for a week as a re
minder of the destruction done.
Then it was the tree by the side stairs
up to Templeton Yesterday I heard
the chainsaw again, but have not
been able to locate the victim.
Is there any logic behind this
destruction? Will Physical Plant try
to appease my anger by saying that
they are ~utifying" the campus
by slowly extenninating its most
beautiful feature? 1 certainly hope
that there is a plan to replant, possi
bly even more trees, Knowing Physi
cal Plant's tendency toward
"minimalism" , 1 doubt this is the
case, but 1 do hope this pattern of
senseless destruction will cease.

Sound unlikely? In es
sence, the Mafia of the
Templeton Restructuring
Cominittu is doing exactly
that to KLC, upholding yet
another instance in a long se
ries of ignoring the obviously
stated desires of students. It" s been made
painfully clear over the
past three years that
students have no voice
in the deCiSion-making
process on campus. $200,000, assuming that nothing
is damaged in the move. KLC also
suffers a loss of 93 square feet
speaking as a DJ, I can attest that
this would be a bad thing. CD and
record storage is actually a lot
more demanding than many
people think, and with a library
that grows faster than it shrinks,
the loss of storage space isn't a
benefit
So what benefits would the
KLC move bring about? More
How did all this come about? When the project began,
KLC ~ assured that everything was still conceptual, that they
wouldn't have to move if they didn't want to, and that every
one would be ham Now it seems the committee is singing a
different tune: last week, they voted unanimously to move KLC
to Dubach, whether KLC wants it.or not. All that awaits is a
rubber stamp from the Manor House and itS'a done deal. The
irony of it is that a grand total of 2 students were among this
vote-one of whom could be seen as little more than an exten
sion of the administration anyway~d yetJean Kemp-Ware~
office is still ,billing it as a student -run initiative. Go figure.
Right from the beginning, of course, anyone with eyes
could have seen that there would be problems. The first sign
was when KLC was asked to take it on faith that the equip
ment they were promised as a reward for playing ball would
actually materialize. Call me crazy. but whenever I enter into a
business deal involving more than about $50, I like for there
to be a written record of some kind so that everyone~ clear
about what~ going on and to avoid possible hassles down the
line. And if everyone involved intended on making good on
their promises, why would the Manor House be afraid to state
on the record that KLC could have what they were promised?
This is an especially important question in light of the ever
increasing cost of the Signature Project, already tens of mil
lions of dollars over budget-nOt all of which is accounted for. , . participation in KLO Maybe, but
it~ a gamble at best, and KlC is already the best-represented
and staffed of the studf:nt media. So we could get the finan
cial Aid office into the basement of Templeton-would it re
ally kill anyone to hav«~ to walk up the stairs? Sure beats the
stroll down to the Manor House.
Sounds to me like a silly decision. But that~ not going to
stop it from being made, without KLO; approval. It~ been
made painfully clear over the past three years that students
have no voice in the decision-making process on campus, but
in this case the restruC1turing committee is reneging on some
very specific promises. What next? Will tuition fees stan jump
ing without warning or justification? Will potentially trouble
some students simply be asked to leave in the same manner as
Evan Williams?
This is not only a dangerous precedent to be setting, it is a
stupid decision to be making. But it~ already been made, for
all intensive purp05(~; any remaining doubt as to the
commi~ intentions :should be assuaged by last week~ vote,
or Michael Fords on-the-record statement that KLCs counter
proposal was Ka crock of shit," or Gordon Lavigne~ on-the
record statement that even if every student at LC signed a pe
tition against the decision, he would ignore it
So be warned. Worit and hope for the best Graduate or
transfer as soon lIS you can, while you still can.
And in the meantime, be very. very afraid. •
ASLC elections present students new opportunities, hope
by Joe G1W1man
Next ~esday. March 8, LC students
will again be given the opportunity to go to
the ballot boxes and vote for a new cast of
ASLC council members. Last Wednesday the
candidates for office toured the dorms around
campus in order to hit the stump and articu
late their individual positions on a number of
issues. 'Within the pages of this issue of the
Pio l.Dg you will also find a shon statement by
each candidate. If you are finding that these
statements are to vague to be helpful when
deciding who best fits the job, fear not, I took
it upon myself to go to these campaign
speeches and in this edition of the Pio l.Dg f~
rum page I will endorse the candidate best
suited for each job.
After some pointless hall council banter,
our most gracious MC, Tla Henderson, got
things staned off by introducing all the candi
dates. Appropriately encugh the most impor
tant position, ASLC president was first on the
agenda. The candidates are Cory Curtis and
Jeff Shaw. When you juxtapose these two can
didates it is easy to pinpoint some glaring dif
ferences. Both candidates paid lip service to
"Student \bice," without really going into any
specifics. Shaw did, however, seem more able
to speak to student concerns. He differenti
ated himself from Curtis who stressed strength
ening ties between ASLC and the administra-tion, a policy we have seen:tried repeatedly
under the current administration, leading to a
number of decisions made without any stu
dent input Shaw advocated strengthening
student autonomy in not only the ASLC but
in all student organizations. Shaw will most
certainly speak to the issues which face stu-
, dents and advocate what student will is on
,any issue. This will be a refreshing change
enduring a year which could easily be blbeled
as disastrous for student rights on camp\llS. Jeff
Shaw should be elected president
Next carne the position of 5MB chair
(Student Academic Affairs Board). Shelby
Uritz is running for this position unopposed.
Shelby has a long record of serving in ASLC
and her experience should serve her well in
this relatively unpartisan yet highly bureau
cratic office. \bte for Uritz unless you have
someone else better in mind, in whicll case
she will win anyway.
Running for VP of Budget and Finance
are Charles Turner and Brandon ~lkahi.
Zakahi was not able to attend the stumping
sessions but was able to contact me by phone
and articulate his stances to me. Esse1rttially
these candidates offer us a choice in priorities
and procedure. Turner favors reexamining
funding of all the club sports. He stated un
easiness with the current system of writing a
blank check for each club spon and not fol-lowing up with the proper check up proce
dures to see whether or not the funds are be
ing spent wisely. He also made it clear that he
favors the status quo and would change little
about the way B&F, a highly bureaucratic or
ganization, runs. Zakahi, on the other hand
places a premium on club spon funding. He
places less emphasis on funding volunteer pro
grams. He would also stop the expensive
Templeton reconversion until more student
consultation is done. Finally Zakahi favors
loosening up the procedure of B&F, making it
easier to get chartered and gain funding. Along
these lines of argument Zakahi earns the vote.
Zakahi seems more open and receptive to re
form and streamlining than does Turner and it
is high time B&F become more user friendl)!
Vote for Brandon Zakahi
Chief Justice of Peer Review Board (pRB)
rivals the ASLC president as the most impor
tant position students can elect This yean
election offers students a wonderful opportu
nity to rebuild PRB and make it more account
able to giving students fair justice. Nathan
Hobbs has put his neck on the line by propos
ing some daring ideas for PRB reform. Whether
or not all of these proposals are plausible or
not remains to be seen, but many of them will
stick and all of them will be debated. Leah
Berman has good intentions for rurming for
Chief Justice but just lacks the vision that Hobbs has at this point in time. After a year of
controVersy, PRB is in desperate need of an
overhaul and Nathan Hobbs is the man.
The position ofVP of IP (information and
programming) is betweenJon Roth and Kevia
Jeffrey. Ms. Jeffrey was not present to make her
pitch for the job but Mr. Roth was, he may as
well have stayed home. He really offered no
real reasons to vote for him. His main message
was that he would do a better job of "getting
ASLC information out.· The only think Mr.
Roth forgot to tell us was how he would do this.
If you know Ms. Jeffrey and like her vote for
her. If you are ambitious, this seems like a good
opponunity to stan a write in candidacy and
try to get yourself a nice ASLC job.
Finally we have'the office of Student rep
resentative. Three of these are elected but only
two candidates showed up. I was informed
that there are in fact three candidates rwming.
Only one of the two candidates who showed
up seemed to offer any innovative ideas. An
drea Williams brought up proposals such as
making a meal plan optional for second year
students and fighting to make Inventing
America a one semester class. Matt Cooper
spoke only in generalities and really gave me
no real reason to vote for him. So when it
comes to voting for a student rep. vote for
Williams and write yourself in, you may just
win. • r the Pioneer o 13
KLC vs the Adnrinistration, just who is right?
KLC has support of the students in KLC and the Administration
their stand, that should count should kiss and make up
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
KLC should not be forced to move
from its present location.
There are numerous reasons why
KLC should not be forced to move, some
are as follows:
1. KLC was told they would not be
forced to move, and it was their decision
to move or not.
2. KLC has good reasons not to
move.
3. The board who voted to move
KLC was misinformed by Amber
Ontiveros and Gordon Lavigne, members
ofASLC.
4. There is overwhelming support
to NOT move KLC.
5. It will cost between $100,000 and
$200,000 to move KLC.
6. 1be rest of the Templeton Restruc
ture moves could go on without KLC.
KLC was told they would not be
forced to move, and it was their decision
to move or not. From the beginning of
the Templeton Restructure Committee
(IRC) meetings, KLC was told it had the
option whether to m9ve or not. KLC has
it in the minutes of their meetings that
they had the option to move or not to
move. Gordon Lavigne, ASLC president
said he does not remember if he made
such a promise to KLC or not. It is also
in the minutes from the TRC meetings:
they asked KLC numerous times whether
they definitely wanted to move or not,
and KL.c said no, they were still looking
into it.
After KLC looked into the matter,
had many discussions, and got estimates
from contractors, they decided not to
move. They gave this decisjon in writ
ing to the TRC and published a copy in
the Pioneer Log stating their reasons for
not moving.
'Once KLC decided not to move, they
were insulted by members of the Tce
board. Their decision was disregarded
and they were told they would be forced
to move.
Second, KLC has good reasons not
to move. One reason is the loss of space
(Gordon promised KLC would have
equal or greater space if they moved, they
are actually losing 93 square feet.) KLC
feels their decor would be regulated if
they moved upstairs to a more 11isible.
One administrator when looking at KLCs
current decor, said ·Oh, you'll have to
tone this down if you move upstairs.
Also, KLC likes the space they have now
and don't want to move.
Misinformation is the third reason
KLC should not be fo~ed to move. The
whole Templeton restructuring was pre
sented to the TRC last Thursday as an
·all or nothing deal-. Members of the
committee were not presented with the
option of moving the rest of the offices,
but not moving KLC. Since the meet
ing, Gordon has said it is not an all or
nothing deal. ~ rest of the moves could
go forward without KLC moving.
Also, the board was told the move
had ·overwhelming student support -by
Amber Ontiveros. When asked what stu
dents supported the move, Gordon said
ASLC supported all the moves without
KLC, SAAB supported the move, as did
the COMM board. This is false. ASLC
did not vote to move KLC, and if a vote
was taken now, they would more than likely vote to support KLC in their deci
sion not to move. The Communication
Board supports KLC and does not want
to see KLC moved. At least two of the
SAAB members, as well as the receotly
forced-to -resign head of SAAB do not
want to see KLC moved. The board who
voted to move KLC were given false in
formation and therefore did not have all
the facts when making their decision.
Fourth, there is overwhelming sup
port NOT to move KLC. The COMM
board including LCIV, the Pioneer Log,
~ literary Review, Synirgia, The Year
book and the Meridian, the Plattform ,
SOFA, members of ASLC and
SAAB all support KLC
and do not want it
to be moved.
KLC has
collected
almost
600
sig-
n a
tu res
to NOT
m 0 v e
KLC. KLC
held a meeting last
Wednesday to s~pport
KLC 40 to 50 students showed
their very strong support of KLc... I
would appreciate it if for once student
voice was listened to, instead of the stu
dents being told "this is what~ best for
you, you do not know what you want.-
KLC is a very expensive office to
move. Some of their equipment includ
ing the transmitter cannot be moved, and
must therefore be replaced completely.
The wiring and equipment adds up to
between $100,000 and $200,000. The
cost will probably be around $125,000.
This reason alone may be enough reason
not to move KLC up a flight of stairs.
Finally, the rest of the moves in
Templeton can go on without moving
KLC. The rest of the media wiD still be
put on the second floor,' creating a bit
more of a sense of community. Offices
will not be moved off campus or into
trailers ifKI..C does not move, everything
else will still go as planned.
While this whole plan was a good
one in theory, it is not good at all in prac
tice. The losses incredibly outweigh any
benefits the college may gain by forcing
KLCtomove.
Support KLQ decision not to move
by writing to any of these people: Michael
Ford, Dennis Madson, Michael Mooney,
Gordon Lavigne or the PIonur lDg. • by Kiley Dumas
KLC should move. The situation sur
rounding the move ofKLC has been messy
and unproductive. Both sides claim the
other misled them and treated them un
fairly, sometimes even lying. However, ig
noring the poor processes that have been
used, the overall goal surrounding the
Templeton Construction Plan is fairly solid.
I believe KLC should move for these rea
sons.
1. They will receive a new transmit
ter, and possibly newer, more "21st Cen
tury" equipment .
2. KLC will have more visibility with
their new office space.
3. The college is will
ing to make con
cessions that
would in
crease the
quality
o f
trans
mission.
4. It
would be un
fair for the rest of
Templeton to sacrifice their
current space and be the only
group that does not have to move.
5. The level of depanmental cohesive
ness will be greatly enhanced for all.
There are two aspects in this issue that
I would like to address. The first is that
both sides are at an impasse and cannot go
further without engaging in fist fights, and
the second addresses what is being said and
how much of it is hearsay and how much
of it shows the lack of constructive com
mUnication being used. ,
The move by KLC has been an emo
tional and high tension issue for the last
six months. People have been silenced and
lied to, the administration and the KLC
Board have been at each others throats for
quite awhile, with no ground gained or
given by either side.
I think it is time for both sides. to
apologize for any misconceptions that have
been made and any problems that have
been created. Tensions and emotions are
flying left and right, with no real facts com
ing clear, and both sides ending up argu
ing on supposition and hearsay. They need
to start over.
Both sides are at an impasse, and un
til they recogniu that fact, only hardship
and arguments will come from negotiations
or discussions. The KLC Board recently
had a forum regarding the need to save KLC from the administration . I went to it in
hopes of becoming more informed and
gaining a better understanding of the is
sues. What I found was that KLC feels they
have been treated poorly and unfairly by
the administration, and they believe the ad
ministration will tell no truths regarding
the move. They also feel that they are pow
erless to negotiate.
On the other hand, the administration
feels that KLC has been unreasonable and
uncooperative. They feel that KLC will not
budge and there will be no cooperative
move on the behalf of1<LC.
My second point addresses the ben
efits of the overall move by KLC and every
other department that is affected by the re
modeling of Templeton Center. I believe
that KLC should move for the benefit of
the whole. When you look at the overall
issues surrounding the shuffling of
Templeton, no one would want to be in
convenienced. 1£ it wasn't for the benefit
of everyone involved, no one would really
want to move, but all of the groups involved
recognize the utility of the overall plan and
therefore consent to the inconvenience.
Keep,in mind that I advocate that the
process itseH was very unfair. The methods
implored by both sides were not conducive
to obtaining positive goals. Maybe Gordon
Lavigne made mistakes in his methods of
handling the situation, but that does not
mean the whole process should suffer for it
That is where my problem with KLC
comes from. What makes their right to
space more important than any other group
or department? They feel they have been
lied to, and that they were told they would
not have to move if they didn't want to.
Everyone involved has made mistakes, and
both sides, I would think, would agree that
mistakes have been made. I~ time to tran
scend towards the common goals of both
sides and set aside past blunders.
, It seems to me that if the administra
tion put their offers in writing KLC would
be happy. 1£ that is what it takes, then it
should be done. While I say that past mis
takes have been made, the problems won't
go away if we just ignore them. In starting
over both sides need to remember past mis
takes and keep them in mind during the
negotiating process. Through this avenue
both the administration and KLC can find
a path that leads to positive goals for both
sides. Sure, maybe KLC will have to move,
but the administration could offer some
quality amenities that would make the
move less painful.
The one significant problem I have is
that KLC seems to think they have a right
to their current space. They do not They
don't own the building and the only claim
they have to the space is the fact that they
have been down there for 30 years. Some
times change is good, like ~into a
, new house. It may be a litt1e smaller, but
the quality of the space is enhanctd. New
facilities will create a better prOduct.
KLC also believes that they have a right
above and beyond what other groups have.
Why should KLC have the right to con
tend their change while every other group
can't, or isn't willing to for the betterment
of the whole.
Keep in mind that my whole point is
that while the process has been poor (to
say the least), the end goals have signifi
cant value. If both sides can recognized
that fact, then a solution will follow. • ·C-

Foreman, Lam lead Pios in nail bitter victory
by Jamie]. Diamond
(PampUn Sports Center) They
did it again. The mens basketball .
team used clutch shooting and ma
ture play to beat Willamette Univer
sity and advance to the NAIA II na
tional tournament.
The Pios lead for 17 of the 20
first half minutes, yet found them
selves tied 29 all at halftime. The
Pios came out strong after the inter
mission and built a seven point lead
off of baskets by Dinari Foreman,
Brandon Nicholson and a 3-pointer
by Rick Gonzales. Willamette for
ward Jason Thompson responded to
the Pio outburst and canned a 3-
pointer. After a Pio turnover, Th
ompson again found his 3-point
perch and canned another from the
left comer. Carl Schreck tried to re
spond, but his 3-pointer just
rimmed out and Willamette was off
again. With 13:46 left in the game
Thompson spotted up and hit his
third consecutive 3-pointermakin g
the score 45-44 Pios.
The Pioneers could have folded
up their tent right there, but camp
ing season would have to wait.
Perry lam fed a cutting Foreman
who swished net and gave the Pios
some needed breathing room.
Willamette then took the lead
off a powerful two-hand dunk by
Duray Thirdgill. Next time down,
Foreman corralled a rebound,
kicked it out to Schreck, who
calmly stroked nylon from beyond
the arc. Willamette answered right
back with a 3-pointer of their own
by Dave Snyder which gave the
Bearcats a two point lead at 56-
54. Rudy Crew goes up for a perfect jump shot.
Next time down the floor the
Pio offense seemed to sputter, that
is until Gonzales realized the shot
clock was down to two seconds.
Gonzales silenced the Beareat aowd
with an in your face buzzer beating
3-pointer to give the Pios the lead.
Whitney Brake gave the Pios some
clutch scoring and the lead in
creased to four off of his two buck
ets.
After two made Willamette
free-throws, the score was 61-59
Pios and the game was ~ry much
up for grabs. Thats when Foreman decided to grab it. Foreman got the
ball from lam just to the left of the
Trailblazer emblem, looked down at
the ban and launched. After just
missing the ceiling speaker,
Foremans shot rainbowed in (or
three big points and staned an J.8-6
Pio run.
After dialing 1-800-clutch,
Foremans chest pounding antics got
the aowd back in the game and off
went the Pioneers. Next time down
Foreman came up good from eight
feet after a nice inside feed by
Gonzales. After a aruple Willamette
free-throws, Gonzales spotted up
and kept the Pio surge going with
an NBA trey of his own. Gonzales
put the Pios up by six with 4:43 left,
but by no means was this one over. Brandon Nicholson stole a
Willamet 1te pass and got the Pios
back on their side of the court. The
Pioneers couldn't find a good look
at the basket and the shot clock was
winding down. lam got the ball
near the 3-point stripe, blew past his
defender :and drained a 17 footer to
put the Pios ahead by 8 with 3: 12
remaining.
After a Pioneer timeout, the
Pios again struggled to get a sholoff
£rom their set offense, and again they
caned on the heroics ofUm to save
the day. l.am took his defender to
the hoop, found a crack of daylight
and somehow made a 12 foot
double cllUtchingjumper to put the
Pios up by nine with 2:18 to go.
Willmnette made a 3-pointer to
Mark Pietrok's Health Tip
Having trouble with summertime carcinogens?
Yes, you guessed it. Its time for another impor
tant 'tip' from everybody's favorite athletic trainer.
Have you noticed the great Portland weather we've
been having? Well, for those who haven't cracked
open the blinds for the past week, it's been sunny.
With sunshine there is a chance to over-tan and this
weeks 'tip' should allow for sunny enjoyment coupled
with a few helpful precautions to keep in mind.
Sun is our friend, but taken for granted, the old
fire-ball can damage our health. Every spring college
students just like yourselves take to the beaches and
parks to darken up from the big yellow ball. Darken
ing up, however, is not necessarily a healthy habit, it
can become harmful. The ¢inning ozone layer is
added incentive to heed the follOwing advice.
Avoid sunlamps: Tanning parlors and sunlamps
do the same thing as the sun itself, they still increase
your chance of skin cancer.
Know when UV rays an strongest: Between 10 a.m.
and 3 p.m. is a good time to avoid the suns rays.
Also higher altitudes should increase the amount of precaution .
Undastand sunblock and use it: Even cloudy
weather can bring on a sunburn. Use sunscrean or
sunblock if you plan to be outside for more than a
few minutes. Just walking the dog or cleaning out the
above ground sewage tank can cause a bum in less
than 112 hour.
Sunblock guidelines:
1) Use sunsreen lotion containing PABA.
2) Make sure your sunscreen is of SPF 15 or
higher.
3) Apply sunscreen aJil hour before going into
the suns rays.
4) Sunblock wears off when you swim so reap
ply often.
Its easy to just run outs,ide unprepared, but with
only a few minutes of prep.aration you can be more
prepared to take on the suns powerful rays. So until
next time, get a hat, put on some SPF 15 or higher
sunscreen and just remember, "Regulators ....... Health-
Up'" + get within six, but thats the closest
they would ever get. Strong Pio de
fense and clutch free-throw shoot
ing by Lam, Foreman and .
Nicholson preserved the win down
the stretch.
-Foreman led the charge with a
game high 23 points and 5 re
bounds. lam tore loose for 17 to
go along with 5 assists. Nicholson
had 10 points to compliment his 12
boards and Gonzales' 12 points
came in handy off of 4-7 3-point
shooting.

three pointer in the bottom of the net. This
extended the lead to 13-2 and for a moment it
seemed as if the Pios were going to run away
with this one.
WiIlamette center Jenny Joseph made an
effort to carry her struggling team as she scored
the next two buckets for the Beartats and added
a free throw. Pioneer center Stacey Cottle was
