Early spring weather cut short by surprise snow

though many students enjoyed the

The decision to close school af­

to open school at 9:30 am on

It was fonunate that the snow
days were during the spring semes­
ter. The fall schedule provides even
lesS leeway to make up missed days.
Snow days are made up to provide
both students and instructors with
the pre-designated classroom in-struction time. The institutions
which accredit a school are not so
much concerned about the actual
number of days a school is in ses­
sion, as they are with the intensity
and quality of the courses which are
offered.
Evan Williams, Dean of Aca­
demic Affairs, commented, "We

Shared
responsiblity,
shared fines
byJen Cox
From ink stains on furniture to a miss­
ing VCR, Copeland, Forest, and Platt-Howard
residents were fined a grand total of almost
$1700 for the condition of the residence halls.
Even though this is much less than in years
past, there is unrest among those fined. Stu­
dents were fined up to $120 for the excessive
messes and damages.
A common sentiment of the students is,
'Why were we fined for things we didn't do?"
145 students are being charged for incidences
involving few or solitary individuals. "I don'
think its fair," complained one Platt resident.

up after themselves." Inventing America

Many feel that their peers are shOwing a
lack of respect by not accepting their responsi­
bilities. In other words, the guilty parties should
be held accountable for their actions. "If I did
something, I would pay for it, " adds freshman
Diana Krizrnan of Copeland. "I wouldn't want
everyone to have to pay for something I did." Forensic squad wins in trio of tournaments
Another question among the residents is
"Where is the money goingr Krizman asserts
that the damages in her dorm room, which
former resident Elliot Baron paid for, have not
beeJl repaired.
IGley Dumas reported similar incidents in
the Log, claiming that although students who
have lost their keys have paid for the locks to
be replaced, they haven't been. The only ex­
cuse offered for this is that Physical Plant is not
known for its speed on solving such problems,
but they will get around to them eventually.
One student, Micah Jackson, suggested
using excess hall funds to repair damages in­
stead of charging innocent residences of the
halls.
However, as another resident pointed
out, this would not alleviate the problem,
and the same innocent students' money

The Lewis & Clark Forensics squad added
to their year-long success story with several solid
victories during their last three tournaments.
The Parliamentary team of Brenna Bell and
Kiley Dumas traveled to Bellingham Washing­
ton to attend the Western Washington Invita­
tional Tournament. There they took first place
in Senior Parliamentary Debate. Dumas and Bell
also captured first and second place in speaker
awards. Bell participated in the William o. Dou­
glas competition, an annual event that is unique
to the Western Washington Tournament. She
panook in events that challenged her speaking
ability, but centered around the fonner Supreme
Court justice, Vvilliam Douglas. She took third
place.
The ~tem States Tournament was held
the next weekend at the Janzen Beach Red lion Hotel. It is an annual event that is attended by
all of the top teams on the west coast and it was
Portlands tum to host. LC sent a full contingent
of competitors to match abilities against some of
the finest schools on the west coast.
There were three teams entered in Senior
CEDA. Jeff Shaw and Leah Castella took the top
two speaker awards and advanced to semi-finals
undefeated. Two teams entered Senior Parlia­
mentary Debate. Freshman Ryan Thomas took
tenth place in speaker awards. The team of
Dumas and Erich Paetsch tied for fifth place in
competition and barely made breaking to quar­
ter -finals.
In the category of individual events, com­
petition centered around individual speaking
ability and oral interpretation, the LC Squad did
very well. Zennie Scholz took second in Junior
Poetry reading. fourth in Junior Dramatic Inter­
pretation and teamed up with Mary Lynn Veden to take second in Junior Duo Interpretation.
Veden also captured third in Junior Poetry and .
fourth in Junior After Dinner Speaking (ADS).
Damian EckhardtJacobi placed fourth in Senior
ADS. Erinlynne Desel made it to semi-finals in
Senior Prose and teamed up with Kyle Hunsicker
to place third in Senior Duo Interpretation .
Hunsicker also made it to semi-finals in Senior
Prose.
The team as a whole captured third place
in Sweepstakes; an award which recognizes over­
all team effort and combines placements in both
debate and individual events.
This last weekend LC sent their three top
CEDA debate teams to the Hean of America
tournament at the University of Kansas in
Kansas City. This tournament is ranked
among the highest in the country with com­
petition being very fierce. Castella and Shaw

1995 Women's Bills
Announced
Several lawmakers and other advo­
cated for women's causes held a news con­
ference on February 13 at the Capitol to
present the Oregon Women~ Health and
Wellness Act for 1995. The Act is a pack­
age of bills for women and on women's is­
sues that covers the areas of justice and
safety, economic justice, and health care.
Issues targeted include health care access,
child care reform, support enforcement and
domestic violence. "It's time to work to­
gether to solve these problems facing
women every day," stated Sen. Jeanette
Hamby, R-Hillsboro. "I believe there is sup­
port in the House and the Senate for many
of these concepts. We must put these ideas
into law."
Education "Turning the
Comer"
Citing rising test scores in reading,
math and science, and a declining drop­
out rate, U.S. Secretary of Education Rich­
ard W Riley in a speech on February 1 said,
"We are, at long last, turning the comer,
moving from being a nation at risk to a
nation with a hopeful future." However,
he said there are still many problems :
"Overall achievement is still too low .. and
I am increasingly concerned about a grow­
ing trend to de-emphasize the value of out
nations wonderful system of higher edu­
cation." Riley said assuring access to higher
education must remain a national priority
and pointed to the new direct lending pro­
gram, which is making college "more af­
fordable and accessible, and saving taxpay­
ers money."
Tipped Workers Wage Freeze
Rumors are that the House Uibor
Committee will hear legislation to cap the
minimum wage for people who earn part
of their wages through tips.HB 2543, pro­
posed by the Oregon Restaurant Associa­
tion would permanently cap the minimum
wage for tipped employees at $4.75 an
hour and allows restaurant employers to
reduce part of a food servers wages when
tipped income enables a person to earn a
wage higher than the minimum wage.
Jane Lesser, Oregon Student Lobby legis­
lative Director mentioned that passage of
this bill is likely unless opposition is dem­
onstrated .

Cable television installed in campus dorms
by Trina Schoenberg
Students who live on campus now enjoy
the benefits of cable 1V in their dorms. The
project to install cable into the main lounges,
some classrooms of Akin, Odell, Stewart,
Copeland, The Rusty Nail, Platt, The
Plattform,Howard,Juniper, Manzanita, Tama­
rack, Hartzfeld B and D dorms and the Resi­
dent Director apartments began in mid-Janu­
ary and was finished early this week. cable thini. The committee moved cable to
second because it was easier to install and l~
costly. The cost of the project which includes
fiber optic cable, cabling to the sites and con­
version equipment will be $16,000. only to provide cable 1V for various locations,
it will also enable the campus to network
rooms to the Colleges mainframe. room will be re-cored and re-keyed through­
out the resident halls. Total cost of the project
is estimated at $27,000 for equipment and ap­
proximately $2500-3000 for additional labor
from locksmiths to assist with installation .
Money for both of these projects comes from Sites will receive basic service unless the
individual hall governments want to pay 01:­
tra for premium channels. In regani to the "key project", a new pat­
ented keyway system has been oniered which
is scheduled to arrive in early Marclt and in­
stallation to begin shortly thereafter. Every room rent dedicated this year. *
The delay of cable installation was due to
unexpected structural problems with the
buildings. "Forest was easy to do, but build­
ings with cinder block made it difficult to lay
the wire," commented Rick DeBellis, RD of
Forest Hall.
The project to put cable into some of the
campus dorms began with the "Improving
Campus Ufe Committee" in 1992-93. The
committee polled students about the campus
facilities 'that were offered and asked them to
list the things they would like to see on cam­
pus ..
Students highest priorities were study
lounges which were put into Copeland, Stew­
ard and Platt-Howard halls. Students rated a
new lock system as their second priority and The cable was not
ready when students re­
turned from winter break
because the company in­
stalling the cable, TCT,
works on a fiscal year and •
their previous year's bud-.
get was not yet finalized,
which would not allow
them to begin on another
project. Brian Lawrence,
Director of Telecommuni­
cations on campus also
said, "The buildings are

On Monday Physical Plant did
some rush hiring to help out the nor­
mal grounds crews, offering $10 an
hour to shovel snow. Around 25 stu­
dents, a majority of which were only
temporary employees, helped out in
the clean up. In situations like this
the crews have a standardized prior­
ity list which they follow. Physical
Plant and the roads around it are the
first to be cleared.
The small John Deer plow was then used to clear paths to Fields Din­
ing Hall. Because it was obvious that
school was going to be closed the c1ass­
room areas were given less priority.
The John Deer is used on roads
and bigger pathways around campus.
The smaller pathways had to be
cleared using shovels and chemicals
which acce~rate melting.
Howani Dean admitted that the
equipment is inadequate for the
amount of snow that fell. After this
stonn PP will consider buying more
equipment for future storms. •

Ethan Aumech, junior " When you have a group as

very difficult for a sense of

Inherent in that mobility is a bit of
a challenge in creating continuity.

OSPIRG-
Three lewis & Oark students managed
to escape the icy grip of Portland on Valentines
Day last week and jou~eyed to Salem, the City
of love and Statehood. There, they joined with
others from the Oregon Conservation Net­
work-a coalition of almost 50 environmen­
tal and public interest groups-in urging our
legislators to "Keep Oregon Oregon."
To preserve our quality of life for the next
136 years of statehood, groups such as OSPIRG,
1,000 Friends, the Oregon League of Women
Voters, and Water Watch descended upon Sa­
lem to voice their opinions on several impor­
tant issues.
While OSPIRG's meetings centered around
toxies reduction and defense of Oregons Recy­
cling Act, several groups discussed preserva-tion of historic places, use of the Gas Tax for
public transportation, defense of Measure 18,
and keeping the state's Endangered Species Act
Strong. The legislators for our district (Senator
Dick Springer, Representative Gail Shibley, and
Governor John Kitzhaber) were eager to hear
their constituency's positions on such topics,
so please write them!
Hustling through the halls of the lcapitol
building, I was heartened to see the gm!n and
white buttons at every tum, proclaiming love
for Oregon. Most legislators were quite happy
to see us, as was the governor-who said after­
ward that he would veto any bill which nega­
tively impacted Oregonians' quality of life. All
thanked us for our attendance and input into
what should be, after all, our process--the for­
mation of laws for our benefit and protr.ction.

Are you interested in doing something dif­
ferent this Spring Break? The" Student Com­
munity Outreach Program (SCOP) is offering
an alternative break opportunity in San Fran­
cisco. This trip,led by students Eric Beene and
Jeremy jones, will focus on the issues of hunger
and homelessness. Trip participants will spend time volunteering in various non-profit agen­
cies that work to decrease poverty and
homelessness. The students will also take part
in discussions with community leaders. The
group will be staying at a community agency.
The trip provides an opportunity for
action, reflection, and education. It is also a
chance to relax, get to lmow new people, and
have fun. A participant from last years trip
said, "Signing up for this trip was one of the
best things I ever did at LC. I learned a lot
about homelessness and San Francisco. I felt
I made good use of my time and still had
time to relax as well:
This alternative break will take place
from March 18th to March 25th. The trip
fee of $150 will cover transportation, food,
and lodging. A partial deposit is due today,
February 24. However, there might still be
spaces available, so come to the Volunteer
Service Center ASAP for more information.

Gingrichs contract coming to a college near you
by Cynthia MalIech
Any student receiving federal financial aid
in order to help pay for tuition should stan find­
ing alternative ways to pay for their education.
Under the Fiscal Responsibility Act, the
104th Congress plans to pass "a ~ limi-
tation amendment.· '
The Congress will cut all funds that were
awarded to· students as Federal Work Study,
Perkins loans, Stafford Loans, Federal Supple­
mental Educational Grants (FSEOG) and State Student Incentive Grants (SS]G) as well as in
school interest exemptions.
Half of the current funds, which hdp both
low and middle income families, are proposed
to be redirected towards paying off the national
debt while the other half will be redirected into
the Pell Grant program. However, students n~­
ceiving funding through Pell Grant funding wiJ)
only receive about a $200 increase.
If the campus-based programs are dimi­
nated, students from the middle-class families would be hit pamcularily hard. ]n both the
Perkins loan program and the work-study pro­
gram, over 70 percent of the dependent students
are from families with incomes of over $30,000.
The general govenunent currently covers the
interest on subsidized Stafford Loans, Federal
Direct Student Loans, and Perkins Loans to "help
make college accessible and affordable for low
and moderate income students to encourage them
to complete their education, and to ensure that
they don't face too heavy a dept burden upon

the mission dramatically.
Students who rely on interest -exempt loans
to attend college will see their cost of attendance
rise significantly if they are charged interest while
they are in school. Removing the interest ex­
emption would increase the amount of indebt­
edness for every student borrower. The extra
cost over the life of the loan is due to intertSt
being accumulated while the student is attend­
ing school, and then added to the loan principal
before repayment. This results in charging in­
terest upon interest.
The average Supplemental Grant for the
American student is $745, the average work­
study is $1,065 and the average Perkins loan is
$1.342.
A student receiving a package of aid that
includes average awards from all three programs
would loose $3,152. This is a change that will
potentially effect every one of the 6 million
American students who receive federal student
aid.
The student funds that are planned to be
cut have yet to pass through Congress. Stu­
dents wishing to voire their opinion on the i~
sue may contact their local representatives ana

Inventing America
event challenged
by Alyson Smith
Monday night, Inventing America (lA) stu­
dents were invited to attend an adjunct to 1A, as
a means ofbroadening ~their cultural awareness
of the Ovil War by singing songs of that era.
Students were'also invited to an "alternative" cul­
tural experience set up by two lA students. This
experience was intended to show a wider view
of music of that era. One was faculty approved
and the other was not.
Jake Thomas and Stan Barter, who invited
other students to the alternative adjunct, did not
want to create more controversy, they just
wanted to have a voice in the way they are be­
ing educated: After talking to their professor,
they researched less Americanized music of the
Civil war era and came up with music that they
fdt needed to be shared. It was inevitable be­
cause students had to make a choice concern­
ing which function they would auend. In order
to·let students know about the alternative, a
message was posted in all lA students e-mail
boxes. Events were to include a spttch on the
necessity ofindividualism, inspired by transcen­
dentalism; and a drum circle and speech telling
of how slaves communicated through drums
when they were not allowed to speak in words.
Professors had to address this act of rebel­
lion and on Monday during an lA lecture. Pr0-
fessor John Callahan acknowledged that some
compromise would take place because both
events could not occur at the same time. He
expressed that what Thomas and Barter were
doing was respectable and they could work
something out.
As it turned out, the programs were com­
bined, and lasted longer than orir)nally planned.
The program took place in the chapel and be­
gan with African drumming and a speech from
Thomas and an explanation of the meaning of
drumming in African-Americans ' lives during
the Civil War.
Callahan took the stage and thanked Tho­
mas and Baner for adding to the cultural expe­
rience and the original program proceeded . "]t
was great to see students get off their asses and
have a say in what's going on, and it was also
great to see faculty welcoming it. Hopefully,
these guys will be an inspiration to more action
like this by the students," said student Signe
Erickson. • Page 6 ~~ ~ .... _ .............. th.e.P.iio.ne.a .. ln .. §.--.. F .. n.·dia,y,.F .. eb.ru .. a~7.2 .. 4.,.1.9.9.5 .... ~
Get ready for the hype, the Academy Awards are upon us
Once again, that time of the year that is
both manna and hellfire for extreme movie fans
(and a source of puzzlement to most of the
free world) has anived. I am course refening
to the upcoming 68th Annual Academy
Awards. Nominations were announced re­
cently; which of course leads to an intense
amount of speculation and hype, hype, hype
in the month and a half before the awards are
presented (this year on March 27th). As with
every year, the nominations revealed some
surprises (both good and bad) and a fair
amount of met expectations . So without fur­
ther adieu, here is my take on what should
win in the major categories (as to what will
win, it~ never certain. If you find yourself get­
ting'cynical in that area, I have only two words­
Anna Paquin):
Best Picture-The nominees are Fomst
Gump, Four Weddings and a. Funeral. Pulp Fic­
tion. Quiz Show and ~ Shawshanh Redemp­
tion. All of these nominees made my top 15
movie list, so I really can not complain about
any of the choices. I realize that Forrest Gump
has the momentum of the ages on its side (and
I did rate it number two on my list), but I
would be a hypocrite not to select Pulp Fic­
tion, since it is number one. The best shot it
has is if the Academy voters: a) actually see
the movie and b) set aside their preconceived
notions of its "brutal violence" and "contro-versial plot", and realize that the reason it in­
spires those initial reactions is because every­
one associated with the picture cared enough
to invest it with their all. It has its impact,
because of the integrity of those involved, and
because it was the funniest, most entertain­
ing, most quotable movie in ages.
Best Actor: The nominees are Tom Hanks,
Nigel Hawthorne , Morgan Freeman, Paul
As with every'
'year, the
nominations
revealed somB
surprises (both
good and bad).
Newman andJohn Travolta. Since I have not
seen ~ Madness oJ King Grorxe, I can not
vouch for Hawthorne, but of the remaining
four, Travolta deserves it, not only for show­
ing that he can still be chosen for ~lt roles,
but for what he achieved with his performance.
I truly believe there is not another actor out
there who could have brought enough inher­
ent sweetness in him to make Vmcent Vega as
likable a character as he becomes. Vmcent
may have a drug problem, he may be a cold-•
blooded killer, but anyone who spen.ds that

much time in the john reading "Modesty
Blaise" can't be all that bad (even ifit does prove
his undoing).
Best Actress: The nominees are Jodie Fos­
ter, Jessica Lange, Miranda Richardson,
Winona Ryder, and Susan Saran don. Since I
have not seen lange or Richardson's perfor­
mance (and lange is considered to be the front­
rurmer), I have to be honest and select Foster.
Yes, she~ won twice already; but she deserves
it. Whether you consider her performance in
"Nell" to be Oscar show-boating or not, her
versatility is evident in every frame, and the.
emotion she bring;; to the role is stirring.
Best Director: 1be nominees are \\body 6~ttP.
Allen, Kryzstof Kieslowski, Roben Redford,
Quentin Tarantino , and Robert Zemeckis .
Although this is an even tougher call for me
than Best Picture, I select Tarantino by a tight
margin over Zemeckis (for Gump) and
Kieslowski (for the rapturous foreign film Rrd).
"Pulp Fiction" is a wholly original creation
(even despite its inspiration from fifty years of
pop culture) which one hopes will influence
Hollywood filmmaking positively for many
years to come, and Tarantino should be ac­
Imowledged for his achievement.
All that remains now is to enjoy the tidal
wave of media coverage and get ready to cel­
ebrate (and/or jeer) on March 27th.

The setting isn't romantic in the slightest, but listening to Eric
Oapton sing the blues after a long day is a great way to unwind.
There~ no need to dress up or down as the clientele is as diverse as
the selections of pizza. Tables are cleared, but you1l need to pour
your own water and gather your silverware from the stand up by the
register. Beverage choices for those under 21 are limited to soft
drinks (pop?!) and water, but there is complete selection of bottled
beers and wines.
There isn't any point in trying to list or describe the menu. There
are about 30 different pizzas served in two sizes. The smaller ones
are almost all within a dollar or two of $10 and the larger average
around $15. The smaller pizzas if accompanied byasidesalad ($2.75)
will easily feed two. Four people would be content with a large in
most cases.
If you like pizza, Piuica.to has a pizza you will like. For the
health conscious, there are cheeseless pizzas. For the meat lovers,
a moStly meat pizza. There are various vegetarian selections as
well as pesto based pizzas (a little heavy on the garlic).

Rutsala shares his creative talents with LC students
While perusing through the literature sec­
tion at the campus bookstore, you may have
noticed an unassuming little book of para­
graph/poems, its cover deftly illustrated with
a man lifting a barbell. It is tittle-Known Sports,
the ninth book of poetry published by Vern
Rutsala, professor of English at Lewis &. Clark.
Rutsala grew up in the pacific northwest
and attended Reed College. Soon after he
graduated in 1956, Rutsala was drafted into
the army and upon his return, he attended
the WriterS Workshop at University of Iowa
where he received his M.FA In 1961, he re­
turned to Ponland and received the position
that he now holds at Lewis &. dark. He pub­
lished his first book of poetry, The Window, in
1964.
Rutsala began writing poetry in high
school.
"Its been said that all adolescents are p0-
ets," Rutsala commented and wryly added, "I
guess the ones who never get out of their ado­
lescence continue to write. "
By the time Rutsala attended Reed, he
knew that he wanted to write poetry; for his
senior thesis he wrote a collection of poems.
His only problem was, as he stated, "How
was I going to make a living?"
At University of Iowa, he taught standard
freshman composition while participating in
the WriterS Workshop, which he described as
"the big time." At the time, creative writing
programs were scarce, and Rutsala found the experience of working with other very talented
and serious writers extremely valuable.
During his first year in Iowa, he took a
course in which destructive criticism seemed
to be the primary aim of the professor; the
following year he was taught by Pulitzer Prize
winner, Donald Justice, who provided a very
encouraging atmosphere, which is what reserved for first drafts of poems but often in­
cludes quotes and comments about something
he's read recently.
Rutsala stressed that a poet must be ready
for things, for "anything tan trigger a poem.
You might overhear a comment somebody
makes or a word might stick in your mind."
He conjectured that perhaps the "myste-
"( need to do it [write poetry] ...
( don"t feel right if ("m not doing it,
so not more than a few days go by
when I don"t write something . .1J
Rutsala strives to bring to the classroom to­
day.
Specializing in Modem British literature,
Rutsala has found that MIt has been a very good
balance for me to be a writer and a teacher."
Rutsala enjoys a lively classroom and
looks forward to his classes, but commented
that "You never really learn anything until you
have to teach it."
Rutsala finds that his responsibiliti~ at
Lewis &. dark rarely interfere with his writ­
ing and tries to write every day.
"I need to do it [write poetry) ... I don't
feel right if I'm not doing it, so not more than
a few days go by when I don't write some­
thing."
He keeps a notebook which is usually rious" ori~ of creativity lie within tl}e sub­
conscious, and once spent an entire year in
London writing about his past in the Pacific
northwest.
"It was as if I had to get 6000 miles away
to write about something that was right in front
of me. That's why I called the process myste­
rious," he said. "I see poetry as an invention.
Obviously, any art is self-expression to a de­
gree. The thing that gets you going is the ex­
cuse to write a poem and often times your ini­
tial idea has nothing to do with what results."
What resulted one summer were 80-90
poems, which Rutsala eventually worked
down to the 30-35 poems that now appear in
his book, \\.blJdng Home From the Icehouse.
Such revision is not uncommon for Rutsala, and he believes that most of writing
is re-writing .
He commented that "there have been
maybe two or three [poems) in my life that
pretty much worked from the first draft."
Rutsala always likes to have drafts to work
on; as a young poet, each poem felt like his
last.
"Its like you're going from oasis to oasis
across a very dry desert. Is there ever going to
be another oasis , another poem," he chuck­
led.
In order to avoid this dilemma, Rutsala
likes to work on several things at once. Cur­
rently, he is working on three manuscripts : two
books of poetry and one book of essays. He is
also working on some fiction, which could
possibly tum into a fourth manuscript . Next
year, Rutsala win also be teaching a senior semi­
nar on the literature of World War 1.
Rutsala finds that he likes to have an un­
interrupted two to three hours in which to
write and drolly upholds his "revolutionary
theory: I think all people in governm~nt
should have to spend an hour a day writing
poetry. I think some of them might begin to
stretch it out to two hours, three hours; thereby
they'd leave us alone."
For someone who has been writing p0-
etry for over fony years, it seems almost too
easy to assert that others should not be intimi­
dated by doing it. But if you've ever taken
Rutsala!i extremely down-to-earth course, In­
troduction to Poetry and Poetry Writing. you
know that Rutsala sincerely believes that "Writ­
ing poetry is a good way to find out who you
are. ... everybody's got some poems: •
Charles Baxter-a relative stranger MUSIC TALKS
BY 'ILL L. PETERSON
Mournffig Tuesday set
to rock the Rusty Nail
With several gigs under their belt and a swdio date set for
next month, Mourning Tuesday is proving that much more lies
ahead. The five-piece band is made up of LCsJoel Middleton on
vocals and acoustic guitar, Dave Noyes on keyboards, Jason
Rodgers on guitar, Lon Whittier on bass and Evan Louden on
drums. They hope that their new demo will earn them visibility
and a chance to become one of Ponlands prominent bands-mi­
nus the attitude.
The group has been through some changes since Joel and
Dave met two years ago in a Platt lounge, but the sound now
reflects a conscious effort to meld acoustic and electric sounds.
Joel has been affected by Southern rockers Lynnard Skynnard, the
Black Crows and Bay area singer Ouis Whitley. Daves influences
range from classical to punk to jazz, while Evan favors the sounds
ofPearlJam and live. Lon and Jason, both from Challis, Idaho,
have been playing together for the past four years, and bring in­
fluences from the Seattle sound, metal and jazz. (I guess its plain
to see why these guys don't even try to agree on a cover!)
As with most original bands who work from within-writing
songs, lyrics, and then arranging them-Mourning Tuesday plays
only their own music. Although Joel writes the majority of the
songs, they all work together to create the ultimate direction a
song will take, and benefit from the pools of experience.
Their live sound is genuinely unique, if not provocative. There
are moments when it seems as if you're listening to a lone guitarist
singing of love and angst in a coffeeshop, when suddenly the full­
ness of the band rises up from underneath- getting them kicked
out of any self-respecting coffeeshop, but definitely gaining your
attention.
If you missed them last week at the Plattform, here's where
they'll be this week:
Feb. 28, Mourning Tuesday plays at Mt.Tabor Pub, with B-Foot
Tender and Com Rocket, 9 p.m.
March 2, The Rusty Nail, Cody Weathers opens, then Mourn­
ing Tuesday plays two sets (electric then acoustic), 9 p.m. by Anne Bagman
Meet Charles Baxter, poet and
fiction writer, pnllised over the na­
tion. Creator of c:haracters such as
Aunt Ellen who writes her own bible
for a time when God is alive,
Maureen who is tilred of men's voices
and naive Cooper who invites a
homeless man to his house. Baxter
comes to campus Feb. 24-27, to lec­
ture and read foml his works as part
of LC's CollegeS A~ Alive Series.
Baxter is a dliverse writer. He
has written three c:ollections of short
stories (Hannony of the World,
Through the Safety Net and A Rela­
tive Stranger), two novels (first light
and Shadowplay) and one poetry
book. He was also the co-chair of
the 1994 Share our Strengths Writ­
ers Harvest, a national organization
that gives money to the hungry. He
currently teaches creative writing and literature at the University of
MiChigan. Baxter has won several
awards for his writing, including the
prestigious lila Wallace-Reader 's
Digest Foundation Award for Writ­
ers in 1991.
Baxter's most recent novel,
Shadow Play, deals with an ecolOgi­
cal reconstruction of a small town.
The unemployment rate is high and
the inhabitants are desperate for
work. The big bad company comes
in and act as the moral devil, pm­
vidingjobs but without showing any
environmental concerns. The young
protagonist must make tough
choices. The book sets the sparkling
ethical and moral concerns of the
'90s on fire, and raises question
about human nature the reader
might not want to answer.
BaxterS strength is characteriza­
tion, he gets into the head of the man Photo by Miriam Bakley
of the street, the person behind us
in line to the post office. These main­
stream Americans are exposed to the
scariest of ail secrets: they get to
know sides of themselves they have
been suppressing . Personal crises
and mano-depression cloud the
pages of his work, but share room
with warm humor and biting irony.
His lyrical and rhythmic language
lures the reader into his tales and
make it impossible to put them away.
Baxter's reading will be Friday,
Feb. 24 at 7:30 in the Council
Otamber. Cost is $B general admis­
sion, $5 for senior citizens, students
and alumni and $2 for the LC com­
munity. The fee goes to Arts Alive

short story collection, A relative

Hey, who needs financial aid anyway?
Contract with Americas short-sighted
budget cuts threaten Americas
soundest investment -education
Do you 1rnow anyone who can get you a job, quick? If
so, you better call them up and see if they can get you one
soon.
If you are like a third of all college students your edu­
cation is in serious jeopardy. If the Republicans go through
with their plans in the Contract with America, you could
be out on the street. As a provision in the Fiscal Respon­
Sibility Act (one of ten in the contract), huge cuts will be
made in both federally
funded and federally sulr be the poor and the middle class, but eventually the rich
will be hun when colleges and universities are forced to
raise their tuitions to make up for a sudden lack of stu­
dent income.
Looking furth,er down the road this policy could have
drastic effects on the U.S. as a whole. As the studies have
shown, those with. a college education make more money
than those without. So we as a country would be faced
with a dwindling college-educated population who are
making more money. and an increase in the number of
people working in lower payingjobs.
In addition, reports indicate that nine of the fifty states
have said that the loss of SSIG would mean the loss of
their entire grant program, while most of the others would
see their programs severely crippled.
Are you pig-bitin'
mad yet? Well, check this
sidizeJ loans. The main
programs on the chop­
ping block are the Federal
Supplemental Educa·
tional Grant (FSEOG),
State Student Incentive
Grant (SSIG), Federal
Work/Study Program
(FWSP), and the Federal
Perkins loan. It is im peratiye out. Trends have shown
that student loan cuts
tend to precede increases
in college tuition rates. To
compensate for the di­
minished government
suppon, schools shift the
fmancial burden onto the
student. that student aid is kept at
current levels,
if not increa~d.
The government
would also stop paying
interest on the Stafford
loans while the recipients
are attending school. This
means that in addition to
paying off the actual loan
amount when you get out,
you would also have to
pay the interest that has
built up on the loan for
four years. This, as op-The message from the
Republicans is that
education is not a priority,
and the people who are
trying to get an education
are expendable . Granted, in the shon

likely be making even less than their counterparts are
making now, which means less tax revenue to run the
government.
With less mOoney coming in. the government is back
to what got us into this mess in the first place. Its yet
another example of the government trying to save a little
money right now without considering the dire straits their
actions will place: us in a few years down the line.
We need more than a qUick fix that our children (or
younger brothers; and sisters, for that matter) will pay for.
In the process of trying to shave a few dollars off the debt,
we are forsaking the very people who might be capable of
helping us out in the long run.
It is imperative that student aid is kept at current

the Pioneer Log KLC shows maturity
To the Editor,
I have just finisheii reading the letter from the KLC Board
in the Log, and I can see that there are going to be some troubles
coming out of this. I feel that the views of a non-board mem­
ber of KLC should be expressed.
In February of '94, I came to this campus for the first time
as a potential student. I loved the atmosphere of Lewis & Clark
as soon as I got out of the taxi. Over the w~kend, everything
I saw about the school convinced me that this was the place to
be. But, I must say, one of my deciding factors was my visit to
KLC.
I've al~ays been interested in music and radio. And when
I walked by KLCs windows and saw that someone was in there
doing a show, I decided to go in there and check it out. The
DJ. Matt Sherman, gave me a shon tour, told me about what
KLC does, and even let me introduce a song on the air. Need­
less to say. I was hooked.
Now, staIting my second semester at LC, I am involved
with KLC on almost a daily basis. The location and the decor
of the station make KLC what it is (in my mind) as much as the
CDs and the people.
I'm glad that the Board has decided not to move. The move
would have, in my opinion, turned an open-minded, free-willed
environment into a clinical "institutional" governed not by play­
ing music and having fun, but by looking good and satisfying
the status-quo .
I'd like to thank the KLC Board for making their decision
in a timely and adult manner. It has saved one of the things I
love most about Lewis & clark College.

"Family values" a dangerous label for candidates
byJeffShaw
"Family values" is potentially one of the most loaded the­
torical terms in use.. For the most part, we hear these two words
from prospective candidates for political office. The beauty (for
them) and the danger (for us) of this term is how nebulous it is:
family values can never be concretely defined. This has an im­
mediate implication for political observers come election time:
be wary. One person's family values can easily become an en­
couraged, even mandated, lifestyle.
First, lets discuss examples of family values rhetoric in our
everyday political lives. Most everyone-in this state at least-is
familiar with the tactics of the Oregon Gtizens Alliance (OCA).
Part of the DCA political agenda is to marginalize and disempowtr
one group of people~osexuals . They are, perhaps, the most
troubfutg and dangerous example of family values rhetoric. Un­
fonv.nately for us, they are also the most obvious. DCA tactics are
as stlaightfotwanl as they are frightening--to juxtapose onelifesty1e
against another, and declare one "right," and the other "wrong,"
or "immoral." It would seem that such an obvious and necessarily
divisive tactic would meet with litt1esucx:ess from the Oregon vot­
ers: but if this is true, why do the OCA get so many votes? Why do
we have to keep tuoUng them away from victory every year?
The answer is because the tenn -{amily" appeals to some­
thing in most people. It is one of the words that connotes the
smell of apple pie wafting out of the oven and Utt1e League games.
Everybod~ ideal childhood; the kind none of us actually had, collective anxiety closet. Not so. Sure, there are the visible ones
like the OCA. .. but the messag~ I would like to convey here is
that there are other, equally cIIangerous -{amily values" candi­
dates and measures that may have more mainstream appeal than much. Ralph Reed is a nonnal-looking, young, and clean-cut
guy who looks like everybod~ kid brother. He is also one of the
higher-ups in ·the Clllistian Coalition, one of the family-values
touting organizations who is attempting a conservative revolu-
Traditional family practices have been used to justify
everything from homophobia to keeping women in the
home to demonizing single parents. tion at the grassroots of this country. Reed ad­
mits that their strategy is to take over the coun­
try on a loca1level, with candidates and mea­
sures moderate on the surface, but fundamen­
talist belOw. Reed calls his allies "stealth candi­
dates." By this he means that when they say
"family values," there is a deeper agenda there
intended to draw support from the more con­
servative elements of society and not alienate the
more moderate. If you think this is alarmist on
but most like to think about while idealizing those years. Thus,
if a political group can get such a word to be identifiW with
some of the items in their agenda, more power to them. the DCA, but are probably equally as dangerous.
State Represenative Kevin Mannix has proposed a bill that
would prevent single mothers from seeking artificial insemina­
tion. He justifies this by appealing to "family values," that single
parents are not the ideal parents. But when you look a little deeper,
it becomes clearer that candidates like Mannix and his proposals
are really trying to do more than make the 9O!; a throwback to the
"traditional nuclear family" days of theSO's: what they're really
trying to do is set a precedenlt to roll back reproductive rights
themselves. In couching his appeal in terms of family values,
Mannix is trying to conjure up images of white-headed Grandad
and his \\bther's Originals. It llooks more to me like a paternalis­
tic government trying to constrain people's choices.. It looks to­
me like Dan Quayle waving hi!. finger at Murphy Brown. my part, think again. Reed has been quoted as saying such things
by sources as mainstream as lime Magazine.
The troubk js, family values are a pretty subjective thing.
Even worse, many things people have gotten used to calling fam­
ily values are ~lly just traditions that should be superceded by
new knowledge. After all, traditional family practices have been
used to justify everything from homophobia to keeping women
in the home to demonizing · single parents. The appeal behind
famj)y values is tradition: the fact that things have always ~
this way, remember? But this is also its danger: things that have
been this way for so long may be dominant social patterns that
should be changed. "We're flying below radar ... you don't know its ·over until
you're in a body bag." Reed has said.
The message here is not that candidates touting the family
are necessarily evil, or even regressive of most civil rights agen­
das. It is just a call for progressives to adopt a let-the-buyer­
beware approach to candidates who use tenns like family values
as an all-encompassmg label. Demand Specifics. Demand agen­
das. Demand accountability. And if you don't get it, make sure
those candidates don't get your vote.
There are plenty of examples other than Kevin Mannix's bill
md the DCA. It's your job and mine to make sure that behind
the rhetoric of apple pie, there isn't a group of politicians with Too often, people assume that the things rve just described
are things of the past, or close to being flung out the door of our The traditional family groups themselves have admitted as agendas like theirs. •
Resources available for sexual assault survivors
by Suzanne Brown and Jeff Shaw
Sexual assault is a growing problem, not
only in our cities and rural areas, but on our
college campuses. Rape is one of the most im­
portant and divisive issues facing contemporary
society. Fortunately, a number of organizations
exist to combat private trauma as well as public
misconceptions . One such organization is the
Rape Crisis Center, Incorporated, located in
WashingtonCounty.
The center was started in 1977 by a group
of about ten volunteers and has since grown
into a thriving set of approximately thirty indi­
viduals. The primary objective of the organiza­
tion is to give immediate assistance to survi­
vors of sexual assault Additionally. the center
provides information and speakers to survivors,
their family, and members of the community.
List year, advocates accompanied survivors to
a hospital and/or police station on forty-five
separate occasions, as well as answering eight­
hundred-twenty-five calls to the crisis line.
Organizations like this as well as others
exist in the community to provide support and
resources. This is panicularly important in view
of recent statistics that one in every four women
Will be sexually assaulted by the time they reach
the age of eighteen. Without help, survivors of sexual assault
face extreme problems. Women who are as­
saulted may have internal injuries, and will
nearly definitely have emotional trauma as a
result of the incident.
Even more alarming, studies show that a
rapist will usually be responsible for five to ten
sexual assaults. A rapist who offends once is
likely to rape again, and each unreported inci­
dent increases the risk that someone else will
be attacked.
Another purpose organizations like RCC
serve is to dispel myths commonly held about
sexual assault. For instance:
~Rape is not an act of passion or sex. 80%
of rapists have partners, and 60% are married.
·Rape is not a stranger to stranger crime.
Only 28% of cases handled by the Washington
county RCC were stranger to stranger cases.
·Women are not the only people at risk.
Men and women are both raped and sodomized
by violent perpetrators .
·Rape is not a spontaneous crime. It is
usually a planned out event, where the rapist
acts out a fantasy or scenario.
·Rape doesn't just occur in dark alleys. In
fact, only about 10-15% of rapes take place in
areas we most expect. The most common places
are in and around the victim!; residence. While -this is only a passing glance at a
widespread and complex problem, a first glance
is the starting point to larger action. Rape is a
common problem that we all share and have a
duty to combat Included below are resources
that we hope you will never need. They are
also places to volunteer, which we can't encour-
age enough. •

Pios whip Whitman again~ Willamettes next
by Chris Ott
When the Lewis & Clark
Mens Basketball team took the
coun for the flrst time in late No­
vember, many people questioned
their ability to compete in the
tough NCIC. After all, LC gradu­
ated three Senior staners, includ­
ing First Team All-American Derek
Foster, from last year's Final Four
Team. The LC Faithful hoped that
the broad shoulders of All-Ameri­
can Dinari Foreman would be
enough to carry the young Pioneer
team.
Three months later Foreman
and his Pios clinched the confer­
ence title and opened the first
round of the Play-offs with an im­
pressive 91-68 win over the
Whitman Missionaries this past
Wednesday in Pamplin Spons
Center.
The Pios jumped out to an
early lead and never looked back.
Freshman guard Brooks Meek
opened up the scoring with a three
pointer igniting both the Pios and
the crowd. Five minutes into the
game the Missionaries found
themselves down 11-2 and called
a timeout to try and catch their
breath.
Junior Guard Brandon
Nicholson made sure that the Pios
continued where they left off when
he stole the ball at mid-coun and
convened it for two points at the
other end. Senior guard Rudy
Crew carne off the bench and tore
net from well beyond the three
point arc putting the Pioneers up
25-11 with ten minutes left to play
in the flrst half. Whionan called
two more tirneouts within minutes
of each other, but to no avail as
the Pios refused to slow down. A
few plays later Nicholson again
made a steal and found freshman
center Whitney Brake who
slammed the ball horne with a
powerful two-handed dunk. Two
more trips down the coun was all
it took for freshman Rick Gonzales
to find the three point stripe and
bring down the rain. Foreman
continued to be a presence inside

Hey all you bright young go­

This weeks tip deals with that great
big muscle right in the middle of
your upper chest, yes you guessed
it, the hean. Our hean is very im­
ponant to us and I'll try to give you
some good ideas on how to keep the
old time piece in tip top shape.
High blood pressure is one term
associated with bad things relating
to the heart. For an average, healthy
young adult, blood pressure should
be in the 120/80 category. Physi­
cians agree that blood pressure above
140190 constitutes hypertension .
Hypertension affects more than 60
million AmeriCans a year. Many of
the causes of hypertension are un-known, however, taking on a few
easy habits can weigh in your favor.
Your diet is imponant; limit the salt
shaker and saturated fats. Try to at­
tain a weight that is healthy, which
means eating a balanced diet and
exercising regularly. Also, alcohol
and tobacco use can possibly cause
stress.
Hypertension is also called the
Silent Killer, most people don't even
know they have the problem. There­
fore it is a good idea to have your
blood pressure checked by a physi­
cian on a regular basis.

helped slim the Pio lead to 23, but
with only 2 minutes remaining it
was too little too late.
Five Pioneers finished the
game in double flgures with Fore­
man and Meek leading the way
with 1 B points each. LC shot a blistering 46% from the three
point line. The freshmen trio con­
sisting of Meek, Carl Schreck, and
Gonzales led the three point on­

3 for 5 respectively.

beating Whitman College 62-60
they achieved sole possesSion of

Trailing for most of the game,
the Pios cut into the Whitman lead
early in the second half. Free-throws
by April Honl and a three point
bomb by Misty Fillbach cut the lead
to a 34-28 Whitman advantage .
Then with 12:52 left in the game
Eliza Getches followed suit and
drained a trey of her own to bring
the Pios within 4.
Soon after, Heidi Winters
checked into the game and was in­
stant offense. Wmters hit two jump-ers from 12 feet out to continue the
Pio comeback. After a couple empty
trips down the court, Michelle Gray
corralled a rebound, found the 3-
point arc and caught net.
Amy Woodward made good on
four straight free-throws and Gray's
3-pointer off of a Fillbach pass got
the Pios within 2 with 4:19 remain­
ing to play.
After Getches made good on
two free-throws the Pios finally took
thelead 57-56. With under a minute
to go Fillbach built a four point lead
on 3-point.er with the shot clock run­
ning down. Next time down the

good on one of two free-throws to
give the Pios a 61-58 advantage with

twenty young men cheering wildly
for the Lewis and Clark basketball
team. On the night in question we
were doing our usual cheering,
when the almighty Pacific Univer­
sity Campus Security decided to take
us out of the game for awhile. The
security officer first asked us to come
out in the foyer to speak with him,
then after resistment from us as a
group, he gave us his reason; he
needed to stamp our hands. So, as a
group we followed him out, then at
this point he proceeded to question
us, making me feel like a criminal. I
didn't know that cheering is consid­

that I would return to the game, con­
