Campus construction into next millennium
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
Tired of the noise of pile driving while trying to
swdy? Upset when the computers in the library get
turned off for a day? \\bndering when all of this con­
struction is going to end?
ConstructiOn on the Aubrey R Watzek Ubrarywill
be finished this August, said Michael Sestric, lewis &:
Clark facilities planner. At the same time Senior ErichPaeltsch said the con­
struction is too much too fast "It's a good idea but why
should we push the issue? ," he asked. .
The next 6 months ...
Within the next six months, four major construc­
tion moves will be made.
First, the Watzek infiD, the area in the center of the
library, will be finished and ready for move in by June

Vern Rutsala, professor of English, said it looks like
we're going to have to grin and bear the construction.

Williams resigns as VP of Academic Affairs
by Trina Schoenberg
Evan Williams resigned from his postion ofYice
President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the College
said Michael Mooney in the monthly faculty meeting
February 8. Evans was not present at the meeting.
Due to "administrative restructurin g" Williams p0-
sition has been eliminated.
"In discussing this transition, Vice President Wil­
liams and I have agreed that this is the right moment
for him to return to teaching and to take on some spe­
cialized administrative tasks that suit his interests and
the' College!; needs," said Mooney in a letter to the cam­
pus community. The new dean will be selected by a committee apt
pointed by Mooney.
A f'aculty member voiced concern. about the ablitiy
of a committee of appointed members to choose a dean
that is representative of all faculty. l1e also suggested
the possibility of having some of the members be
elected. Mooney dismissed the offer and replied that
elected members "would not be appropriate." The
President felt confident that the members he had se­
lected could aply represent all faculty views.
It was also announced at the faculty meeting that
a new dean would be selected from within the college.
Mooney stated, '1 want to find leadership from within.
I've come to respect the quality of the faculty here." According to the letter from Mooney to the cam­
pus , the new deans responsibities would be to "pre­
pare and implement an academic and financial plan
for the long-term development of the undergraduate
college ... will need to be a member of the tenured
faculty with a solid record of teaching and research,

Forty first-year students drop Inventing America
'by Jenny Deller
Forty swdents dropped Lewis &: Clarks
only reqUired course for first year students
within the first four weeks of its second semes­
ter. Kate Grant, Director of Academic Advis­
ing and Academic Suppon,John Callahan, Di­
rector of Inventing America, and Mervyn
Brockett, Registrar, met to address the proce­
dure for handling fuwre drops and the need to
notify those who already dropped of the con­
sequences of their decision.
During the add/drop period at the begin­
ning of the semester, the Registrar's office hon­
ored all drops of Inventing America as it would
a.'"1yother course at LC. All that swdents needed
was the signawre of their advisor and they were
taken off the class lists.
Callahan thinks, from personal contact
News with first year swdents and their advisors, that
aside from those who have not rewmed to LC
for the spring semester and those who have
taken a leave of absence, the swdents who have
dropped Inventing America plan to transfer by
fall of their sophomore year. He says that the
issue of dropping Inventing America was un­
anticipated by the planning committee.
"Inventing America is what we have to
do. Here's this issue we really haven't antici­
pated. Well, how do we deal with it? So in the
American way, you invent a pragmatic way to
deal with experience: Callahan said ..
Callahan is concerned that first-year stu­
dents might not realize the rules regarding such
a graduation requirement in order to gradu­
ate, Core 110 and III must be taken. Substi­
wtes such as The History of American Art and
Music in the United States ar~ only suitable for transfer swdents with sophomore standing.
"I would not want . . . this to become a
son of implicit back door where swdents say, '1
thiilk 1 can get out of this requirement, so I'll
drop it and then if 1 stay at Lewis &: dark, I
won't take it: Students should know that won't
work," Callahan said.
According to a source in the Office of Aca­
demic Affairs, it has not been decided what will
happen if a student who has dropped Invent­
ing America this semester decides to stay at LC
indefinitely.
In the future, Callahan hopes "that the
registrar's office doesn't take drops for Invent­
ingAmerica without asking theswdent to have
a conversation with me."
Registrar Mervyn Brockett stated that In­
venting America is complicated by two dimen­
sions: it is a requirement for first year swdents
Features Valen1;ine5 Editorial as well as a graduation requirement
"At the beginning of the semester, tradi­
tional means carried over, and no particular at­
tention was paid to this new wrinkle," Brockett
said.
He added that in the fuwre, if swdents
want to drop Inventing America, they must
speak with him first
Brockett said that he would counsel against
dropping the course, not only because he feels
it reduces a swdents options, but because upon
deciding to remain at LC, a student "would then
need to appeal to take the course under special
circumstances: He added, "\\e're not trying
to be policemen or cramp anyone's discretion,
1 just hope it won't be a complicated and messy
thing for them:

lower. The contractor, who was at fault, paid
for these repairs.

Caldicott -1995 Pamplin speaker
by Oryx CDhen
Dr. Helen Caldicott is coming to Lewis &:
Oark Conege Monday, February 13th, to speak
as the inaugural speaker in the newly founded
Robert B. Pamplin Society of Fellows Lecture
Series. The lecture, entitled "Technology, Spiri­
tuality and the Future of our Planet," free to
students and the public, in the Chapel.
Caldicott's appearance and lecture at LC
will be the culmination of a process. that be­
gan early last semester. Students received
nomination forms in their boxes last semester
that enabled them to nominate possible
speaker choices.
After receiving an excellent response from
students, the Pamplin Fellows met weekly to
narrow down the nominations to around seven
realistic possibilities, which included such
names as Jonathan Kozol, Dr. Herbert Schiller,
60 minutes anchor-woman Leslie Stahl, and
playwright Tony Kushner. The Fellows invited
them, either direct1y or through their agents,
to speak in February. During the break, the
Fellows contracted Dr. Helen Caldicott to
present the inaugural lecture.
Bess Groter, a first-year student at LC,
nominated Caldicott, and is enthused about
being able to meet her. Groter missed seeing
Caldicott when she lectured at the n~taurant
in Mendocino , California, where she worked.
Since then, she has read Caldicotts "If
You Love This Planet," and has come to ad­
mire he,· work. "She suggests good steps that
people can take in order to save this planet,
and I find her writing very inspiring;," Groter
commented .
Caldicott is the author of two other hooks,
"Nuclear Madness," and "Missile Envy. ~
Throughout her career, Caldicott has been in­
strumental in educ;ating people throughout the
world about·the devastating effects of nuclear
war on this planet.
She is the founding president of Physi­
cians for Social Responsibility, the founder of
Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament,
and a member of the 1986 Nobel Prize win­
ning International Physicians for thc~ Preven­
tion of Nuclear War.
In 1985, Caldicott addressed audiences
worldwide on the consequences of nuclear
weapons build-Ups. In the spring" she lec­
tured on campuses from the University of
Massachusetts to the University of lRed1ands
in California. In the fall, Caldicott embarked
on a European tour where she lectured in cit­
ies including Bonn, Berlin, Munich,

lives in detrimental ways. She suggests that
recent generations are spending more and
more time in front of the television set, and
not enough tirrie thinking critically about con­
temporary issues. In the mean time, our planet is suffering, there is a hole in the ozone, spe­
cies are dying out, and our water is becoming
more and more polluted. She suggests that,

New Chief Justice
by Corinna Ann Buchholz
Christopher Bulger sits in a sterile white office in front of a computer
trying to sort out his predecessor's filing system. "Well, I won't be here long,
not after the Templeton Restructuring," said Bulger of the white walls. And
the filing system heS trying to figure out is that of Randy Fox, the previous
Chief justice.
Meet Christopher Bulger, Lewis &: Clarks Chief justice for the Spring
1995 tenn.
Bulger was elected Chief justice by a two-thirds majority of the peer
review board (pRB) after Fox decided not to come back to LC for personal
reasons. "I wanted the position because this is the kind of thing I like, and,
not to sound arrogant. I think I can do it well," Bulger said.
Four other people from the peer review board also ran for the Chief
justice position.
leah Berman, member of peer review board, said PRB held a meeting
with ASLC President Gordon Lavinge and Michael Ford. Seven of the 12
board members were present at the meeting, and of those seven, four were
interested in the Chief justice position: Through a series of secret ballots
and eliminations, Bulger was chosen.
"It'll be a change, I hope he can handle the job," Bennan said, "It was a
very close vote."
Bulger said that theres not much he plans to do differently as Chief
justice except have a better filing system and be much more accurate and
attentive to details such as deadlines. "I think Randy did a really good job as
Chief justice," Bulger said.
In response to claims that the Peer Review Board doesn't represent the
Lewis &: dark Community. Bulger said "I don't mow who you think we
are, but we have a very eclectic group, every person has a variation of opin­
ion and perspective . Vk have international students, liberal students, con­
servative students-if those labels even mean anything."
"If the sanctions we impose seem too hard, then realize that the boards
main concern is safety." he said. "Would you like to live in an unsafe envi­
ronment?" he asks."We also spend a lot of time trying to make the punish­
ment fit the crime," he added.
Bulger is a third year Political Science, German double major and plans
to go to Germany next year with the LC group. •

Humanities Building wiD begin June
1995, with a scheduled completion
date of August 1996, approximately
14 months.
Construction will also continue
during finals, "we cannot stop for fi­
nals," Sestric said, -and the reason
we do not is simply because every
day counts".
The construction contractor has
promised to do what he can to keep
the noise down during finals. Last
teon it turned out they could stop
pile driving during finals and work
on other less noisy projects and they
will try to do the same this term.
The next three years ...
The class of 1998 will see con-struction for most of the time they
will be here. In june of 1996 con­
struction will begin on the student
apartment style housing and finish
approximately one year later. Sestric
speculates that the next project will
have to be the parking structure.
Sestric thinks the library con­
struction is the worst of it, though.
"The library is right in the middle of
the campus, like open heart surgery;
once we do this, the rest of the stuff
is on the edges, it seems like it will
be a little more tollerable. •
Long Term ...
The Master Plan includes 10
to 12 new construction projects, in­

ber of studt~ts who want to trans­

"If you start seemg these num­
bers, then you need to look at the
course and ltalk to the students while
they're stilllilere to see what is wrong
with their c:xpertence at Lewis and

Grant suggested a meeting with
Callahan and Brockett to see if they
could ltarn anything from these stu-sponsibility of voting on a range of
issues from consumer protection to
the endangered species act.
Have you ever wondered just
how they determine how they're
going to vote? Basically they vote
for the most persistent. vocal con­
stituency.
On February 14th the Oregon
Conservation Network (OCN) is
planning to storm the capitol with

dents and give them the correct in­
formation regarding their decision.
They decided that a letter
should be issued from Callahan to
all students who had officially
dropped the course to encourage
them "to stop by the registra~ of­
fice to confirm that your dropping
Inventing America is your consid­
ered and final action."
Yet it is unclear under what cir­
cumstances students can drop In­
ventingAmerica. Callahan acmowl­
edged the fact that many students
who have dropped are simply think­
ing of transferring and stated that
he disapproves. His future decisions
will be based on the students per­
sonal thoughts on the matter and
how weD the student has considered
their situation.
In his letter, however, Callahan
stated "The registrar's office has in­
fonned me that you have dropped . ASLC
On February 7 the Council
first discussed the planned poll
in regards to the Templeton re­
structuring. Responses from this
poll will be used to gauge stu­
dent opinion towards money
. being spent on the proposed
moves of Templeton offices.
The council also examined
questions on a poll regarding
next year's yearbook. Both polls
will take place February 22.
The next subject was rules
of ASLC elections, Specifically;
candidate eligibility. It was de­
cided all rules regarding candi­
date eligibility are sufficient and
no additions are necessary. ASLC
Election packets are available at
the Student Rep office, they are
due Feb. 22 and elections will
be held Marcll 8.
Finally a proposed ASLC
forum was discussed. jon Roth
presented the idea of holding
another forum, but structured
differently. The proposed forum
will be one that allows students
to voice their grievances, and
even commendations about

student government . This forum
is scheduled for Wednesday; Feb­

America because you absolutely,

Lewis &: dark at the end of this aca­
dernic year:
There are students who have
dropped InventingAmerica in order
to fulfill requirements that are nec­
essary for overseas trips this fall. This
could prove risky for overseas ap­
plicants if it officially stands on cam­
pus that those who have dropped it
-absolutely, positively intend to
transfer from Lewis &: Clark at the
end of this academic year."
Callahan, himself, does no~ feel
that the recent drops by first-year
students are necessarily negative. "If
you have a requirement then it~ go­
ing to be contraversial. . . . I think
this particular course would be
rather stale if there weren't a mix of
opinions about it, if there weren't
some resistance ." •

Templeton slated to gain greater student focus
by J. Cory Curtis
In response to studentls com-.
plaints regarding Templeton, ASLC
and a special Conversion Commit­
tee have looked into ways in which
Templeton can be molded into a
building that better suits the needs
of Lewis &. Clark residents.
Prompted by overcrowding in the
Trailroom. Templetonls "airport style"
atmosphere, the loss of profit in the
Dubach Dining Room and the need
for Student Media to find permanent
and visible locations, these commit­
tees have proposed changes.
Wednesday. February 22, ASLC
will hold a referendum to detennine
student sentiment regarding the pro­
posed changes. '7his is the most
comprehensive and well discussed
plan that the LCcommunity has seen
in a long time, .. said ASLC President
Gordon Lavigne. After poll results
are completed, ASLC will discuss the
restructuring further and the pro­
posal will be voted upon by the
Collegels Capital Budget Committee.
That Committee, made up of admin­
istrators, will determine whether
funds should be allocated to the
project The time has come to resolve a plan
and make the building as accessible as possible
to students and student groups
secure atmosphere for the eqUip­
ment." said Coritma Buchholz, co­
editor of The Pionur Log.
The proposed location for The
Pionur Log in Templeton is the ex­
isting Bon Appetit office, across from
the Student Commuter lDunge. As
mentioned, this location will deter
theft and allow more exposure for the
student rW1 publication.
If the Templeton move becomes
reality. "Picture This Productions"
and LOY will also find a new home
near the log offices. Currently LOY
is housed in the basement of the
Gallagher House amidst leaking walls
and a poor work environment.
Under the plan, they will move
into the OSPIRG and SOFA offices.
OSPIRG will move to a location in
the residence halls and SOFA will
move into the current Student
Representativels office near the Infor­
mation Desk. This will create a 1V
studio for LCIY. With the prospect
of expanding LClVs services on
campus, this new location will allow for a more central viewing and re­
ceiving area.
Syne11~a, The literary Review,
Pol)glot, Meridian and Yiem lGmtah,
the school~ , yearbook. will also move
to Templeton . These publications
will move into the current computer
resale room. The computer resale
depamnent will move to the new li­
brary. Thc~ benefits of the literary
journals and the yearbook on the
main floor will inevitably create more
involvemelilt and lead to a higher
quality finished product.
The final and perhaps greatest
impact of the Templeton restructur­
ing plan iSi the proposed move of
KLC. The current plan invovles
KLQ moVl~ up from the lower level
creating a space for Financial Aid to
move in from the Manor House. 1be
KLC board is now exploring the op­
tions of m01Mg to the main floor. The
greatest COJ!lcerns of the KLC staff are
equipment upgrades and budget re­
quests being made to accomodate
their delicate transmitting equip-ment.
KLC would occupy the space
where the current Dubach kitchen
and the Commuter Lounge now are.
This is an almost exact swap, with
KLC maintianing the same amount
of square feet from the existing stu­
dio. The intended outcome would
be that of increased listenership on
campus because the station would
become a much more integral part
ofTempleton and student life.
The darkroom in Gallagher will
move into the ASLG Chief Justice!;
office. That office will consolidate
with other ASLC offices. The Stu­
dent Media darkroom will be used
by The Pionur log, the yearbook staff
and student groups that have ex­
pressed an interest in using a com­
munal developing space.
The Dubach Dining Room, cur­
rently reserved for faculty and staff,
will also be removed according to the
plan. Bon Appetit food services runs
the dining room and is currently los­
ing money on the operation. Fac-
PIO LOG uhyand staff would have one of the
Thayer Rooms set aside for two hours
everyday.
Dubach would be transformed
into a student lounge, with windows
on the north wa1llooking into KLC
studios. Proposed ideas include the
ability for student an to be incorpo­
rated within the lounge.
The remaining concern with
Dubach are the 250 meetings that are
scheduled for the room every year.
Of those, nearly 60 involve graduate
school events and classes.
One of the biggest complaints
on campus is the lack of communi­
cation and interaction between the
CashierS Office, the RegistrarS Office
and Financial Aid. Often students
find themselves going between these
three offices several times to even get
a Financial Aid check. With KLC
moving from the lower level of
Templeton, their space would be
freed for Financial Aid to move into.
This would eliminate the frustration
that occurs between the offices by
placing them all in close proximity
to one another.
The Writing Center, which is also
on the lower level of Templeton will
move into the new library where it
will be of easier access to studentls
who are working on papers. That
space will then accommodate Career
Services and their support staff. * This plan has been a true cul­
mination between students and staff,
arrived at with both parties
invovlement Michael Ford, Dean of
Students and Director of Campus
Ufe is, "Very pleased with the stu­
dent initiative on this project, as weD
as the response from administration."
Due to the amoWlt of projected new
construction taking place on campus
over the next several years, this pro­
posal encompasses many of those
organizations that will be displaced.
Ford says, "Its never easy to make
decisions regarding space use on this
campus, as therels not enough qual­
ity space to go around. This proposal
represents thoughtful work." STUDENT

Future of yearbooks existence, budget in question
by Anne Bergman
Over the last three years, about 900 year­
books, given out free of charge, have not been
collected. Considering the yearbook!> allotted
budget of $26,400.00 this means that about
$6,600,00 worth of books per year have been
collecting dust (which is more than the Pio
Log!> annual budget). The future of the year­
book is currently being discussed.
ASLC will conduct a student poll on Feb.
22 to monitor the students interests, and their
responses to a different design and a possible
supplemental fonn of the yearbook (CD Rom and/or video).
Cory Curtis, Communications Board
Chair, recalls past problems that might have
caused the low student interest ~es have
been a year late due to slow editors, and in
one instance, pictures and text were simply
sent to the publisher to be put together.
Shanna Christie, present yearbook edi­
tor, hopes to solve some of these problems
with the upcoming yearbook. According to
Christie, only 900 copies, as compared to the
usual 1,200 copies, will be produced. She says
that the yearbook will be out on time -estimably a week before graduation, and that
a more aggressive distribution will be pursued.
Copies will be available in front of the book­
store.
Christie also promotes a different con­
tent of the coming yearbook. She says it will
include more text, an index and a table of con­
tent, well covered sport and ov~rseas sections,
and a special section with newsworthy events.
The yearbook will also have 30, as opposed
to past yearS 12, color pages. "People will be
surprised by what!> covered" she concludes.
Christie is not happy about the poll. "The
What you need now is a break -Spring
Break. So enjoy a Coca-Cola product
and let the games begin! Play the 1995
Spring Break Peel & Win Game and win
II SOO Bucks for Spring Break
from the Coca-Cola Company."
You could also win a cool T-Shirt or coupons for C(Ka-Cola products.
So check out the 1995 Spring Break peel
and win game pieiCes. They're on Coca­
Cola products found in the specially
marked vending machines on campus.

people are talking about cutting the funding
before they have even seen this issue." Pr0-
posals include a skinnier budget of $14,000.00
and a yearbook with fewer pages.
Christie and Curtis agree on the impor­
tance of having a yearbook. Curtis says that
it £ills two purposes: it can both provide a
reference for faculty with pictures and names,
and it's serves as a great memory to students.
He has experienced students that "called five
years after graduation and asked for their
yearbook". •
Drug & Alcohol
policy rumors
refuted
by Barbara Swan
You may have noticed, campus is alive with
talk of a NEW drug and alcohol policy! Could it
be in the future students could be boozing it up
in their donn rooms?
Currently, the drug and alcohol (D&A)
policy states that "The college prohibits the un­
lawful use, abuse, sale, purchase, transfer, pos­
session, manufacture , distribution, or dispens­
ing of drugs or alcohol by students and employ­
ees on college property or as part of any college
activitY-"
Confusion about the policy provoked a
group of students, facuhy. and representatives of
the law school to form a D&A Committee. Their
goal is to make the policy easier to understand .
"It shouldn't be a problem if a student gets
caught drinking and didn't know the rules; says
committee student member of the cohlmittee,
Seth Hoflberg. He believes that the policy is too
broad and e3S'f to misunderstand.
Many students do not know that Lewis &.
Clark is not a "dry campus,· meaning not a com­
pletely alcohol-free campus. Students over 21
are allowed to have alcoholic beverages in their
rooms. Some school-sponsored events can have
alcohol present
One question that the committee is dealing
with is; what happens when a 21 year-old is
roommates with someone under drinking-age?
Can the 21 year-old keep alcohol in a room
shared with someone not of legal drinking age?
What LC has always done is mimic Oregon
Law, which prohibits the sale or delivery of alco­
holic beverages to persons under 21. However,
some people feel that not even students of legal
drinking age should be able to drink on cam­
pus. "If you want to drink, there are always places
to go. You don't need to do it in your tiny dorm
room,· said Hoflberg. He feels that it would
make it easier on Resident Assistants, campus
safety, and everyone involved if LC became a
completely dry campus.
That is not likely to happen, according to
Michael Ford, Director of Campus life and Dean
of Students. "The changes will be minor to the
overall policy, and reflect more clarity." He says
that not much about the policy will change.
Many people feel that it's really a private
versus public issue. If a student is quietly hav­
ing a beer in the privacy of their dorm room and
the door is shut, campus safety is not going to
break the door down to "bust" you, according to
Bill Curtain, Director of Campus Safety. How­
ever, if a student has a ~ with the door open,
slhe is in violation of the law and something will
be done. "Don't break the law in open view,"
said Curtain, "and we'll honor your private
space."
No one is sure when the new policy will be
ready to take effect. It will be distributed to ev­
eryone through campus mail when finished. • I

Godot definitely worth a look this weekend
As noted in the program notes for
the Lewis and Clark Theater Departments
production of Samuel Becketts Waiting for
Godot, there has been an almost limitless
number of interpretations of the possible
meanings of the play since its creation in
1948. Beckett himself once responded to
the question about meaning by grabbing a
copy of the play and reading it from start to
finish.
I mention this only because I feel there
is a thin line between a work of art that offers
up a pleasing enigma to the public and one
that becomes infuriatingly maddening in its
cryptic nature. No small praise can be given
to the cast and crew of this Godot for staying
on the more enjoyable side of the division
and essentially leaving it up to the audience
to make what it will of the play. What they
instead have focused on in the poweful
emotions that the play is capable of producing
in the right hands: moments of slapstick and
pratfalls coexisitng alongside (and sometimes
simultaneous with) moments of utter
hopelessness and despair. Godot could
correctly be termed a "comedy of pain."
Trying to explain the plot of Godot in
some ways reinforces the old adage that "you
simply had to be there to understand ." The
play essentially revolves around two
characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who
spend their days out in the middle of a barren
(save for one tree) landscape, waiting for, well,
they're not exactly surewhat for. Supposedly
a man named Godot is scheduled to rendez-From right to left,

vous with them, but on this point, they're
not exactly sure either. He may have alt1eady
come, or he may not be coming for a long
time.
Either way. Vladimir and Estragon lhave
a lot of time on their hands (indeed, in a
wonderful stroke of imagery. the minimal, but
intricate stage reveals itself to be a melted,
distorted watch) and the play covers two days
in their lives as they reveal pieces of
themselves. Their dialogue is sometimes
serious, sometimes not, sometimes lo~~cal,
sometimes absurd, but always entertaining
and accessible. This is in large part to the
aforemention ed physical aspect of the show,
Boys on the Side showcases
Goldbergs dramatic talent
The trailers for Boys on the Side have mar­
keted it as a cross between Thelma and lDuise
(without as much controversy) and Terms of
Endearment (with the same amount of
teaIjerking) and the actual movie does not vary
much from this fonnula. Luckily. strong act­
ing from both the leads and supporting char­
acters make up for the script~ numerous de­
partures into cliched melodrama .
Whoopi Goldberg, Mary louise Parker,
and Drew Barrymore are the unlikely com­
panions who find themselves thrown together
on a road trip from New York out to Southern
California. Goldberg is a lounge singer hop­
ing to make a fresh start out recording in San
Diego, Parker is a sickly real estate agent who
has decided to relocate to Los Angeles, and
Barrymore is Whoopi's friend, who the other
women liberate from her marriage to a drug­
dealing abusive lout Although the previews
have taken liberties to disclose some of the
movieS surprises, it will suffice to say that each
of the women has a Msecret" which in some
way or another contributes to the outcome of
the film. This is definitely a movie that im­
proves upon reflection. While viewing it, I
felt a little too aware of the plot manipulations ,
especially a courtroom subplot that is hack­
neyed beyond belief. But in retrospect, ele­
ments of the film, especially the characteriza­
tions, seem more realized than they could have
been.
As noted, the acting is the film~ ace card. Whoopi shows her adeptness at drama that
has been little seen since The Color Purple and
she refrains from injectIDg too many one~line
asides. She ends up creating a refreshingly
unique individual, memorable for her person­
ality and not her politics. If this is anybodyS
break-out movie, though, it is Parker's.
After five years of uneven acting (good in
Grand Canyon, wonderful in Fried Grun To­
matOes, a little too mannered in The ai~),
she has some quietly spectacular scenes (in
particular, pay attention to the way she takes
control of the action at Barrymore's hcruse).
The only downside comes at the end, when
she is given some moments that are just a little
out of her range. Still, this should get her even
more stirring roles in the future.
Barrymore once again plays a ternpestu~
ous free spirit, but even if it feels like typecast~
ing, at least she's perfect for the part. Her I_oaks
aside. she brings both an exhilaration and a
down-~rth quality to the role that make
her enjoyable to watch.
Herben Ross, director more recentlly of
Stul Magnolias, once again shows a flajlr for
directing female ensembles, but this time the
script (by Dan Gordon) does not paint all the
men as buffoons or dopes. Matthew
Conneghessy as a cop that Barrymore falls in
love with is especially noteworthy for the gpofy
sincerity he adds to the mix.
As the word tearjerker implies, the _end­
ing makes no bones about going for the tear
glands, but at least it feels more honest in ar­
riving at that point than it could have. Un­
even though it 'is, Boys on the Side is strong
enough to just recommend with two and a
half stars. • the highlight of which is Estragons (Moss
Kaplan) five minute-plus effort to remove his
boot at the play's beginning. This old-style
physical comedy is also reflected in the play's
delightful costumes and makeup which place
Vladimir and Estragon alongside such silent
movie favorites as Cllaplin and Keaton.
These absurdist variations on The Uttle
Tramp are even more engaging for their
humanity and their friendship . Kaplan and
Alex Moggridge (as Vladimir) establish this
bond early on and hold it firm to the play's
end. Despite the characters repeated vows
that it would be best for them to separate,
the two actors establish such a vital
connection between their creations, they
make the audience understand and believe
that these two individuals truly need each
other and indeed, each is aU the other has (well, with the exception of a few radishes
and a carrot).
Over the course of the two days, the duo
do encounter several other characters: Pozzo
(Nicholas S. Pepper) and Lucky (Thomas E.
Smith), a master/slave relationship whose
semi-reversal of roles in the second act allows
for endless discussion in contrast to Vladimir
and Estragons lot, and Boy (Thea English) a
"spokesman" for Godot who makes an
appearance at the end of each act.
By the playS end, it is perhaps debateable
whether Beckett is urging mankind to cling
on to hope in the face of futility and
meaninglessness or laughing at the world for
doing so, but the spare beauty of the finale,
as realized by the production is thrilling and
chi.Iling. Even if your weekend is busy. change
plans and include Godot on your schedule .•

Performed in Tribute to Dresden
Fifty years ago this week, the East German city of Dresden was the target of a mas­
sive Allied bombing. On Feb 13 and 14, Dresden suffered three waves of bombing that
killed at least 40,000 civilians. The city had been considered one of Europes most
beautiful cities and was undefended at the time of the attack. TIle devastation was wide­
spread and immediate. Despite Allied claims that sought to defend the militaristic strat­
egy behind the attack, historians insist that the bombing occurred at a point when the
wan outcome was no longer in doubt
lime has not lessened the pain and controversy that surround the yearly com­
memoration. This year, there will be more events than ever before to remember the half­
century anniversary. and criticism is derisive. Some leaders believe that Gennany has a
lesser right to gain global empathy because of its agitative role in the war.
Roman Herzog, the president of Gennany. has denied any sympathetic intentions
and said, "For me, Dresden is an occasion to radically reject war."
Matthew levinger, professor of East European History at Lewis &. Clark, empha­
sized the contemporary belief that the bombing was a "needless attack on a civilian
population, that served little or no military purpose: and went on to say that Dresden
should be remembered less as an isolated event, and more as a -symbol of the horror of
warfare."
On Tuesday evening the Lewis &. Clark Wind Ensemble will join the Pacific Crest
and Warner Pacific Ensembles in a performance of Daniel Bukvich's Symphony No.1:
"In Memorium, Dresden, Gennany." The perfonnance will take place at McGuire Audi­
torium at Warner Pacific College, 2219 S.E. 68th, Portland, at 7:30 p.rn. TIle concert is
free and features other works played by each ensemble, but focuses on the Bukvich
composition.
The three-movement work musically re<reates the confusion, chaos, and ultimate
devastation of the fire bombing on Feb 13, 1945. Members of the ensemble whisper,
speak and finally scream the German words "help", Msmoke" and -fire-stonn". The im­
pact of the piece is moving, and leaves the listener with a aural impression of Dresdens
physical as well as emouonal destruction . • the Pioneer 7
Piccollo Mondo Satisfies Those Massive Italian Cravings
BY CHARLES TURNER
ItS Tuesday night and either you
need to get off campus or you simply
cant face another can of tomato soup
from the cupboards. You dont want
to make a huge effort which means
you want somewhere close, but
maybe a little cozy. Piccolo Mondo
(5331 SW Macadam in John's
Landing) fits the bill. It would be a
comfortable place for a first date
(Valentine' s is just around the
comer) or to chat amongst friends.
TIu: Spaghetti Factory has been the
choice of students over the year to
satisfy their Italian cravings, but
quiet conversation just cant be had
. in the bustling building.
The atmosphere like the food,
is Italian. Bottles of olive oil adorn
each table as a companion to the
fresh bread that is brought to the
table and replenished as needed.
The menu spans the gambit of Italian
delicacies. There are numerous
pastas from $8.95 to $12.95 including the Pesce Miste which I
choose. Prepared with scallops,
crab and prawns on linguine egg
noodles, the generous portion left
more than enough for lunch the next
day.
I had planned to start my meal
with the Mozzarella Fresca ($4.95)
served on grilled bread brushed with
olive oil. The waitress forgot to put
the order in and my friend ate his
salad while I sat and watched. She
apologized and put the order in, but
it didnt arrive until we were well into
the main course. They made
amends by offering not to stamp my
Entertainment card (see note) when
we paid the bill or refunding the
$4.95. I decided on the card since I
plan to return. Another couple of
LC types who were there at the time
described their service as
"moderate. "
Although the service may have
fallen a little short, the food was
really quite excellent. My friends
Filetto D'Bue (filet mignon) was
cooked just the way he had ordered
it and the $5.95 Caesar salad was
generously portioned and tasty. They serve both dinner salads and
meal accompaniments ranging in
price from the $3.75 mista salad to
ana Guiseppe for $10.95. Some
meals include soup or salad are
served :). la carte.
The menu doesn't stop with
pastas and beef. There are three
seafood entrtes including a fresh fish
of the day (priced accordingly). Both
prawn items are priced at $15.95,
the most expensive items on the
menu along with the filet mignon.
There are also pmduyand veal menu
items. The "Regional Favorites"
include two vegetarian options;
Cappellini Primavera (garden
vegetables, fresh herbs, garlic and
parmesan cheese in an olive oil and
white wine saUCl~) for $12.95 and
Melanzane ana l?armigina (baked
eggplant) for $11.95. Lasagne and
two ravioli dish alll included here and
all include soup or salad. I'd say go
to Piccolo Mondo for a nice quiet
evening and sonie: excellent food and
save the SpagheUi Factory for that
floor function when you don't mind
standing outside for an hour. Piccolo
Mondo accepts reservations at 248-

Public Broadcasting should be

Kirtley refutes charges of PBS'
elitism, dtes unsurpassed quality
To the Editor:
I believe that Public Broadcasting provides a unique service
to Americans and should be supported without question. I
grew up, as many did and still do, with educational programs
like "Sesame Street" and "The 8ectric Company." I still watch
Public Broadcasting and listen to NPR on a regular basis. I
wanted to contribute to what I believe to be an invaluable public
service, so I went to work at Oregon Public Broadcasting. This
past smnrner I worked at OPB on a FRONTIJNE documentary.
I still work for the Production department at OPB pan-time.
As a result of my experience at OPB, and of my personal
enjoyment of Public Broadcasting. I felt compelled to respond
to the recently published Forum article, "Proposal to Cut
Funding for PBS Warranted. "
The first critical remark made in the article attacked PBS
for "using federal funds to lobby for further fedecil funds." As
a private, non-profit organization PBS is allowed to use 5% of
their resoun:es for "lobbying." They currently use less than
1 %. When I asked OPB about the use of their air time, they
replied that they were responding to an overwhelming number
of memberS inquiries. Using their air time is the most effective
way to communicate with and answer the queries of viewers.
The article continues on to argue that PBS is geared toward
the "cultural elite," with the brunt of the expense aimed at the
middle·class. According to Maynard E. Onne, President and
CEO of OPB, "An annual federal invesnnent of just $1.09 per
American ... has spurred nearly six times that level of private
support." In other words, the government pays just over one
dollar per American to provide Public Broadcasting. Private
suppon from individuals and organizations provides almost
six times the amount of funding from the government.
The claim regarding "Public Television and Elitism" was
recently confronted in an editorial article in 1k New York
TunesOanuary 26). The article states that a poll conducted in
january by the respected Opinion Resean:h Corporation of
Princeton found that out of 1005 Americans in a bipartisan
sample, "nearly 85 pen::ent of the respondents said Congress
should either maintain public televisions funding at current

Please limit letters to 350-500 words levels orincrease1t...SuPJport for public television was broadly
bipartisan, reaching 80 percent among Republi~s, 86
percent among independents, and 90 percent among
Democrats." Congress needs to listen to its constituents and
their desires and continue, if not increase its support of Public
Broadcasting .
A further argument against elitism pointed out by The New
York TImes is the fact that poorer stations such as W]WJ-lV in
Beaufon, SC receive mOlre funding than the wealthier stations
suchasWNET-lVinNewYorkOty. WJWJ receives 55.3% of
its budget from government funds, while WNET receives only
]..78%. As stated in 1k New York Ttmes editorial, "The collapse
of government funding would lead to a truly elitist system,
with the richer regions halving access to quality and educational
programming and the poorer regions left to the mercy.of the
market-place: Indeed, the poorer stations would collapse,
leaving viewers in these areas with even fewer quality television
options.
Why is Public Broadcasting so important? PBS provides
the best childrens programming around. Paid cable provides
some educational programs, but is completely out of reach for
the children and adults who need it most The programming
is also free from COtnml~n:ial interruptions and distractions,
which may detract from the educational message. PBS provides
educational and infonrultional programming that cannot be
found anywhere else. PBS provides unparallelled news
coverage, without the sensationalism of commen:ial news
programs. As stated in Onnes OFlgon Focus article, "Oregonians
can study for their GED or earn college credit through OPB:
It is the lower and middle class who will suffer the most if
these programs were to disappear. Fans are already supporting
these excellent programs, however the vast majority of
educational programming would disappear without federal
funding, because the proograrns are not commen:ially viable.
Public broadcasting is devoted to serving the public with
the highest quality programming. This does not sound like
"the mouthpiece for the wonders of modem big government."
This sounds to me like a resp~msible organization serving the
needs of the American public. The people of America, and the
government , couldn't ask for a better deal.
I urge you to write Ito your Congress Representative and
tell them that you suppon Public Broadcasting . Its in all of
our best interest:

Gaffs radiant production of Godot
illuminlates Fir Acres Theatre
To The Editor:
Salvador DaB, the flamboyant Catalan eccentric, and
the recluse French writer Samuel Beckett who shares his home
town Dublin and much more with james joyce: What do they
have in common? Thanks to the intuition of Judy Goff, they
both join their artistic fon:es and speak to us in a powerful,
unmistakable voice about tight, uncomfortable boots, meta­
physics, ways to eat carrots and turnips, the passion of Christ,
suicide, and the unending game of waiting for Godot Who is
Godot? No one lmows, not even Samuel Beckett But the play
is not about Godot, be he Salvation, Death, or anything in
between. It is about waitiing, about time melting away like the
surrealistic watches Dali painted in the early Thirties, and which
inspired Goff to build the entire stage into a giant, melting
watch. This transformation of the familiar Fir Acres stage stuns
you even before the play begins.
"Nothing to be done," exclaims Didi when the cur­
tain goes up. And yet, what could be just as well the playS
conclusion is no less than the opening line of two acts brimful
with slapstick comedy a:nd humor of the weird, black kind.
But it is also the first of many rather bitter than sweet apho­
risms on life!; miseries.
To quote the di.recton; blurb: "No other play of the
20th century has been so written about, studied, analyzed,
criticized, debated, dissened, and 'interpreted .... I would like
to add: "admired ." This is not the first time I have seen En
attotdant Godat, and I hope it won't be the last time either. In
fact, I think I I'll go back this week for another lesson in wait-ing, even though I think the costumes of the two bums are a
bit overdone. Besides and before being bums, they are every
man and woman, vagrant or tax-paying home-owner . I could
just as easily see them -and have -in leotards, which would
enhance their already remarkable play-acting and give the play
the intended universal meaning.
More than fony years after its premiere, En attendant
Godot has also become a history lesson. In the late Forties and
early Fifties, France and most of Europe lay still in ruins after
the catastrophic bankruptcy of totalitarian ideologies, pseudo­
religious myths, and plain stupid nationalism and racism. The
answer of Beckett's generation, however, was not nihilism. It
was the search for a new spirituality, a radical break with the
Old. After the politicians and generals were done destroying
the very fabric of European culture, radical intellectuals of the
first hour like Sartre or Beckett refused to be burdened again
with all the obscene J1Vlterial things an traditions which make
our lives so complicated. In their denuded plays and novels,
and in their poetry they voiced the fears and aspirations of a
generation of disillusioned, yet passionate followers. Did they
succeed? Not for long, I am afraid. But for a brief moment
there, in the midst of all their demented experiments, a beam
of light and hope shone through. You can still see it flickering
this week in Fir Acres Theatre. "They give birth astride of a
grave, the light gleams an instant, then its night once more"
(pozzo, Act II).

KLe move may result in more harm than good
To The Editor,
KLC plays an integral role in student life
on the Lewis and dark campus. For stu­
dents it is not only a outlet for entertainment,
but also infonnation . We entered into a con­
versation with ASLC President, Gordon
Lavigne, in good faith, willing to look into the
feasibility of including KLC in a possible plan
to restructure the Templeton college center.
Over the course of numerous meetings
and discussions, the proposed restructure of
Templeton has become very troubling to the
KLC Board for several reasons. After consid­
ering the possible benefits and consequences
we have decided that we would like to retain
our current space. Our decision was made
after considering these issues:
1) Our current space is presently located
in a portion of Templeton where sound and
decor are not interfering with other depan­
ments or meeting spaces in the building. The
chances of being relocated in a prominent
portion of Templeton (Dubach) gives rise to
many new concerns over complaints relating
to sound levels. KLc!; audio could easily be­
come a problem for users of the Geary, Gray
and Monteith roorns as well as the infonna­
tion desk and remaining Dubach areas. Even
if proper acoustic insulation were installed
during construction, the problem of sound
escaping from the area when doors are open
and closed would remain a problem.
In addition, KLC is a student-run medium
where decor plays an impottant role in pro­
viding a creative atmosphere to work in. If
KLC were moved upstairs to a prominent lo­
cation we would undoubtedly face difficulty in maintaining our freedom to decorate the
studios and other areas that are visible to
people walking through Templeton in the
manner we prefer. A college radio station must that could very easily be done incorrectly.
Correcting mistakes in wiring could keep the
station off the air for long periods of time and
add yet more cost to the budget.
The Board an<] staff of KLC
are very satified with
the current facility.
It serves our operational and
functional needs and gives us a high
degree of rr ownershiplJ ...
look like a college radio station. As the dis­
cussion on a possible KLC move widened to
include representatives from Physical Plant and
Student Affairs, we have heard conflicting
opinions concerning the amount of control
KLC would actually have over decor.
2) Probably the biggest concern to the
members of the KLC Board relates to KLG
studio, production and transmitting equip­
ment. KLC has a complex and intricate net­
work of wiring and conduits that are neces­
sary to broadcast our signal to the campus.
This vast system of connections was accumu­
lated and connected over many years of op­
eration. To move the network of wires is not
only an expensive proposition, it is a project It is also known that KLCs transmitter is
wen over twenty years old and presents a tech­
nical problem if moved. Of the numerous tech­
nicians that have consulted with KLC over the
years, all have expressed conCern over the pos­
sible moving of the transmitter. This is a major
concern, since the quoted costs of purchasing a
new transmitter are well over the $10,000 mark.
3) At the outset, one of the KLC Boards
major considerations in looking at the proposal
was that of increased space. In KLCs present
location we have barely enough room to keep
up with our expanding need for CD storage and
office sptce. The proposed plan would actu­
ally cut the total area by 93 sq ft. This greatly
reduces KLCs capacity to expand our present services.
4) Equipment upgrades were another
important factor in justifying a proposed move.
The only approved money (on a contingent of
the plans approval) is $25,000 from the ASLC
Budget and Finance Board. This would not
even cover the costs of obtaining a new trans­
mitter and re-establishing the electronic con­
nections between studio components in the
new location. Funhermore, the sentiments
expressed in several recent meetings weren't
supportive of the extensive equipment up­
grades the KLC board felt were essential to
approve the planned move.
5) The cost.of the Templeton restucturing
is a definite concern for not only KLC but the
entire LC community. The justification for the
enormous expense of the projeCt hasn't been
demonstrated to our satisfaction . Because of
the specialized needs of a radio station (acous­
tic insulation, special windows, raceways for
wiring) the cost of just remodeling the physi­
cal space (not including equipment wiring and
specialized cabinetwork for the electronic com­
ponents) is about twice the per-square foot cost
of remodeling a typical office space.
The bottom line is this: The Board and
staff of KLC are very satisfied with the current
facility. It serves our operational and functional
needs and gives us a high degree of "owner-
-ship" over the decor and other aspects of the
station environment. It doesn't make sense to
spend-scarce College resources on a move that
would bring few benefits to KLC students and
other members of the Lewis & Clark commu­
ni\)' and possibly entail many drawbacks.
KLCBoard
Hobbs misinformed about Fords the student/s involved and any person they would like to be
there with them, the PRB which consists of 12 of your peers,
the Chief Justice, a Campus Safety officer or RNRD may be
present, Michael Ford is present on occasion, thats it no one
else. Each person involved in the case talks about the charges
and Everyone is dismissed ! Only the 5 voting Board members
remain. The door is locked and we discuss the case. I'm sorry
that you thought that Michael Ford, the Chief Justice or any
other Administrator was whispering sentences in our ears. The
5 of us decide and vote on the sanctions that WE feel comply
with College Policy in each specific case and when we are all in
agreement we pass those sanctions and go home. I don't see
how the evil Adrninistrat10n really had anything to do with
that process other than sitting in a chairand listening .. If you
feel your student run judicial system is so disasterous, pick up
a petitition and run for the position of Chief Justice. Maybe
you'll get a clue that it is the students who make the decisions,
not the administration. role in Peer Review Board proceedings
To The Editor:
I recently read an all campus E-mail that had been posted
on the messages. After reading th e message I felt that I should
respond to the "accusations" that the messages held. I am an
appointed member of the Student Peer Review Board, I want
to compliment those of you who wrote in the Pio log and
printed that extremely nice picture depicting your student iu­
dicial system. When I saw it I laughed. Not only do I think
that you are grossly rnisinfom .ed but if you really wanted to
get your message out I wonder why you didn't apply to serve
on the board? First of all, I believe that the Pio log is an excel­
lent way for students to discuss issues, as long as the stories and opinion articles are the truth. Where did the idea come
from that the Administration figures out the sentences only to
have the PRB accede them, to qlOute Nathan Hobbs recent mes­
sage. The Administration, which by your definition means
Michael Ford, are the "evil" ones. Not only does Michael Ford
have nothing to do with the sanctions given to students, but
even if he really. really wanted to have something to do with
the sanctions he couldn't. I suppose I shouldn't assume that
any of you have done your homework regarding the proce­
dures of the Peer Review Boardl. I mean I wouldn't want to ask
you to speak intelligently about the issues you have writen
about, but for your informatio n: a case is brought to the PRB,
Rock calls for continued,
uninhibited e-mail use
Is the Administration attemping to gag the
student body and censor the campus media?
To the Editor:
I just finished reading Mr. Fords letter,
and found many aspects disturbing. Michael
Ford does point out many aspects of the
Barnett situation that have not be brought to
the attention of the LC community and I thank
him for that I don't want to rehash the whole
Sean Barnett incident Unfonunately the de­
cisions are made, peoples lives have been af­
fected, and the damage is done. I write to
respond to the ideas set fonh by Michael Ford. I find that his justification of the schools ac­
tions towards Sean are inadequate and shal­
low. Further I find his attempt to destroy and·
intimidate students into funher discussing the
situation the exact actions that Jeff points out
I hope that this will not further the personal
attacks, but instead allow the administration
and students who supponed the administra­
tion in the suspension of Sean Barnett to un­
derstand how they have created a perception
of bureaucrats and authoritarianism . The first issue I wish to address is the at­
tempt of Michael Ford to forbid the discus­
sions of Sean Barnett on e-mail and more im­
portantly the message board. Instead this
would only leave the newsgroups available for
some son of electronic discussion Oc.general).
Why? Well lets look to what Ford said in his
article in the Jan. 27th Pio-log. "Mr. Shaw
then violated both the spirit and the intent of
the electronic message board system by ap­
pealing Mr. Barnetts case to the community
through the e-mail message system." Really
Mr. Ford? Messages (rnsgs) are set up for what
reason? As the help file says: -
I) Please only post messages of interest
to the community. such as events.
2) Sale items, rides, roommate situations,
etc., are OK with good subject lines.
3) Use a helpful subject line. Don't force .
the reading of your message.
4) lit-for-tat discussions should take place
in 'news'. See 'help news'.
5) Anonymouslforged messages, ranting
& raving will be removed. Bonnie Tompkins
6) Personal opinions should be posted to
news, not to rnsgs.
Well Ford could make a very strong ar­
gument that Jeff Shawl; arguments were "tit­
for-tat" and further more that it is only per­
sonal opinion. But this would suppon Jeff
Shaws claim that the administration is bu­
reaucrats and authoritative. As stated in the
messages help file:
Q: Why not use News?
A:. Not everyone reads news. News read­
ers are complicated to use.
This means that Ford wants the discus­
sion moved to where it is not easily accessible
to the community. 'NOT EVERYONE READS

Hobbs questions student impact on LC policy
Lewis & aaTh Community:
last year, there was one issue that concerned the suspension
of Sean Barnett whether or not the suspension itself was fair. ]n
responding to this issue, Jeff Shaw and Michael Ford have man­
aged to uncover another. ] can state that other issue as a ques­
tion: does lewis &% Clark have adequate student representation?
The events of last semester and the response from Michael Ford
lead me to believe that the answer is an obvious no.
Michael Ford chooses not to respond to student concerns
of the process of the Peer Review Board, instead, he chooses to
respond to Jeff Shaw. Mr. Ford's letter is an attack not only on
Jeff but also on student involvement with the administration .
What I find most offensive about the way this entire affair oc­
curred is the parental attitude of the administration toward the
student body, especially those that might take issue with the way
certain event might concern them.
JellS thesis ofhis "diatribe" was that the administration (with
the Peer review board) had assigned a punishment that did not
fit the crime. Nothing that Mr. Ford wrote addressed that cen­
tral claim; to the contrary, I believe this more after his letter than
before. The parental attitude of the administration comes out in
statements such as that "he just didn't get it" as a justification for
Sean's singular suspension. Sean wasn't punished for what he
did that night; he was punished for his perceived attitude to­
ward the events of that night.
So what? Why do ] contend that this issue has uncovered
another? In Mr. Ford's letter, he attacked two key forums of stu­
dent participation in the campus process. The first of these is the
electronic message board and e-mail system of our college. Jeff
was accused of violating the ·spirit and intent" of the message
board, an accusation that was soundly refuted by Justin Rock on
the msgs board, as well as by the stated policy of the system itself.
The second of these forums is the Pionur Log, which was referred
to as a "tabloid," "immature," and unworthy of our respect. So
what about our options as concerned students?
-The ASlC was proven by two of its own members last
year in the same tabloid Pio Log as unresponsive and irrelevant
Even if it were endowed with real power, the system allows no
system for contact or feedback from average students. ] suppose
that we'll hear often about the huge amount of student money
that Budget and Finance has to distribute, but, take you and
your 13 closest friends and you have just represented the amount
of monetary contribution that B and F has to spend. The $75
million fundraising drive currently underway will likely have
little to do with any class represented today at lewis &% Clark.
-The Peer review board acceded to administration recom­
mendations for all charges and sentences for the "fire alarm three."
Despite claims to the contrary, the PRB is not run by students. ]t
is an unelected board (except for QriefJustice) and I would love
to direct my comments to the chief justice, but I learned two
days ago that Randy Fox had resigned and that his replacement

... am aware that Sean is suspended. And Michael Ford is
right., 'Enough is enough.' But enough is not enough when
injustice falls on deaf ears. Enough is not enough when these
injustices are not taken seriously enough to ensure that they
won't occur again. Enough is not enough when it is only stated
by the administration in order to quiet the masses. The ad­
ministration and the Peer Review Board erred in Sean's suspen­
sion. They were unjust in their decision. There are only two
Specific aspects that need be discussed.
First., yes Mr. Ford, when Sean went to his first Peer Re­
view Board he did not apologize and kiss butt. And further
you are right he did not act remorseful. Sean told me he didnt.
There were also reasons behind this action. Reasons that were
substantiated by this holy law book that everyone keeps quot­
ing without actually quoting words or pages. The PathFinder.
I keep hearing everyone quoting it, but] have read both Seans
charges and the PathFinder and there is no justification what­
soever for the suspension of Sean Barnett The PathFinder states:
"The discipline system is divided into two types-major and
minor. Major offenses are those which may result in suspen­
sion or expulsion from the College (for example, arson, of­
fenses of a minor nature may result in more substantial penal­
ties. Minor offenses include those which cannot result in the
maximum penalties of suspension or expulsion but rather lesser
penalties such as disciplinary warning, probation, restitution,
or community service. " pg. 108-11 a
Now Mr. Ford and Peer Review Board, show me anywhere
on Seans charges that said his actions were either a minor or
major offense. Further look to the actions themselves and see
what category they fall under. Michael Ford writes in his Janu-(appointed by majorilty vote of the unelected PRB) was being rect how out of touch our advocacy system is. Destroying the

ary 27th article, "Sean Barnett was charged with disorderly con­
duct, underage consumption of alcoholic beverages, public
intoxication, misuse of fire safety equipment, property dam­
age, and violation of his residence hall contract." Hrnmm.
Mr. Ford these are NOT major offenses according to the
Pathfinder . None of these fall under the spirit set forth by
the Pathfinder as a major offense. Now it could be argued
that since Sean had multiple offense it could then be treated
as a major offense. But this is not the case the Pathfinder
dearly states, "Minor offenses include those which cannot
result in the maximum penalties of suspension or expulsion. "
. I must admit the words more substantial are ambiguous , and
for this reason the PatltFinder should be clarified, but as stated
clearly Sean was nev'er informed of whether his case was to
be treated as minor oflfenses or major offenses, and after read­
ing there descriptions he concluded that they must be minor.
And as Michael Ford conceded , that, "Barnett did not receive
the letter until the day before the hearing", and this left him
with no time to seek c:larification. This ambiguity can not be
called justice.
The final contention that I wish to deal with is the idea
that Sean was not remlorseful. This was the case. NOWHERE
in the Pathfinder does it say apologies are necessary in order
not to be suspended. Nowhere does it even state that being
remorseful is a consid4mition when deciding the punishment.
I think it clear that th·e Peer Review Board went power hun­
gry and couldn't follow the laws that ] have heard the admin­
istration preach. Finally, when Sean was heard for his ap­
peal, Michael Ford is right that "Sean had done nothing in
the three weeks since his initial hearing.· Why would this be
the case Mr. Ford? Anyone who knows Sean, knows that he studies most of the time. These three weeks were near the
end of the term and Sean was faced with a decision. Fulfill
some of the punishment requirements or continue to do well
in school. This was the tradeoff. Sean chose to continue to
do well in his academic achievements rather than fulfill his
community service. This though does not show that Sean
was guilty, this shows that the Peer Review Board was harsh
and plebeian when deciding his punishment. Furthermore ,
no where in the Pathfinder does it state that during appeals
the Peer Review Board looks to the "remorse" shown through
the convict's actions. An appeal is to reexamine a case, not to
see what has happened since then. Seans compliance with
decided punishments is not what should have been exam­
ined at the appeal, but the case itself. Again, injustice was
served.
I don't want to leave you thinking Sean was innocent.
Sean did a stupid thing. What the Peer Review Board and
Administration did though was an atrocity. I don't think Sean
should not have been punished. Rather a deferred suspen­
sion, lots of community service, and other punishments that
would help create a just community rather than a endless
retributive system. In one of Seans notices it stated roughly
that this term would give Sean a chance to think about what
he did. All it is doing is allowing him to become more angry.
more hostility to build up within the lC community and fur­
ther exacerbate the gap between the students and the admin­
istration (including the Peer Review Board). This is not jus­
tice. I hope that next time a student comes before the Peer
Review Board they read the Pathfinder before they preach it,
and try to find true justice, not just retribution.

Fords comments illustrate need for
Peer Review Board reform
By Joe Grunman
In recent weeks, there has been an ongoing dialogue about
the state of the student justice system here at LC. For the
opening of this dialogue we have my esteemed colleague Jeff
Shaw to thank. His vigilant stance immediately and students would have total control over it In
his letter two weeks ago Mr. Ford spoke often of the Buckley
amendment and the rights of privacy it entails in PRB hear­
ings. While this Buckley amendment seems like a safeguard
for the student, it actually lulls, students who face PRB hearings
into a false sense of security and leads
the student to abdicate his or her against the sanctions against Sean
Barnett has drawn both fire and
support from students. The
administration implicitly has stood in
staunch oppostition to Shaw through
the actions of their official mouthpiece
on this issue, Michael Forei. Without
trying to sound too biased, I side with
Jeff Shaw and his grievances against
Peer Review Board (PRB) on the
Barnett case.
Mr. Ford~ diatribe in the Log two
weeks back certainly didn't help
persuade me or any other students
who may not have been quite ready
to cry foul. Ford~ generalized attack
on the old regime that ran the Pio Log
last semester is a cheap shot and
warrants an apology. When
throwing around
such extreme
statements such as
"yellow
journalism II, rights.
My suggestion to any student
accused of a violation and therefore
subject to a PRB hearing is to waive
your Buckley amendment rights,
bring a tape recorder and invite all
your friends to the PRB hearing. A
long standing aspect of our criminal
justice system has been the account­
ability of the judiciary. Having your
peers present to wibless the proceed­
ings insures fair treatment by the ju­
diciall body that will bedeciding your
case.
As a member of both staffs, I re­
sent having the paper that I and many
others put hours of hard work into
attacked in such a general fashion.
When throwing around such e:xt:reme
statements such as "yellow journal­
ism: it is important that the indi­
vidual who is alleging this (in this case it is important
that the individual
who is alleging this
provides examples
of such
indiscretions. My second suggestion is one that
will lftave to be effected by student
elected officials and administrators.
America's judicial system utilizes ju­
ries and not elected or appointed
members (at least at the lower lev­
els). The PRB should be a more tem­
pomy body consisting of people who
don't have such a political mentality.
A Peer Review Jury seems like it
Mr. Ford) provide examples of such
indiscretions . In this case, Ford just wildly threw Jhe label
around and made no such illustrations.
Many of the members of the staff that Mr. Ford attacked
are no longer working for the Log. Maybe that fact is exactly
the reason Ford decided to tum the focus of this whole argu­
ment on the Log. Attacking people who no longer are in a
position to defend themselves is especially easy: Perhaps these
people are owed the apology first.
Having said all this, it is now important to move for­
ward and ber)n considering how to change the existing sys­
tem so as to avoid such harsh sentences being handed down
to students. Sean Barnett is not the only student I mow of
who w.lS sentenced to such a harsh penalty for a minor in­
discretion. If, in fact, I am gaur)ng student concern over
this issue correctly, then it is time to reform PRB.
My first suggestion for reform is one that can be enacted would be better suited to adminis­
tering justice to students.
This would lead to a greater
cross section of t,he campus community having a stake in ad­
ministering fair justice to its peers. Perhaps those who had
previously experienced the student justice system would even
end up deciding cases. This jury would be randomly chosen
and voluntary. The jury would decide cases for a semester and
be disbanded, and a new jury would be formed
Regardless of whether or not you agree with my sketchy
proposals on PRB reform, PltB should be changed so as to
make it more accountable. A golden opportunity will be pre­
sented to students to begin thiIs reform in a 'matter of weeks.
The ASLC elections will provide students with an opponunity
to ask would-be student leaders how they would improve the
state of the student justice system. When the opportunity pre­
sents itself, speak up and chan.enge the candidates, and foltt
them to address how they would help us and not themselves

For those in Waslllngton its become just a bigjoke
By Phil Duong
Ever since the last elections, politics in
Washington DC have become ... well, a bigjoke.
I dont mean cynically (well OK, at least not
entirely), but literally. We have highly seasoned
politicians making highly offensive statements,
being surprised if it creates a row, and then want­
ing to retract their statements under the guise
that they were merely jokes, misunderstand­
ings, or slip-ups.
Take, for instance, last November right af­
ter the elections when our incoming Senate For­
eign Relation Committee chainnan, Sen. Jesse
Helms was quoted warning President Bill Clinton
that he'd "better have a bodyguard· if he visits
any of the military bases in North Carolina. "Mr.
Clinton better watch out ifhe comes down here."
After creating quite an uproar, attracting the
interest of the Secret Service, and fOrcing Senate
Majority Leader Roben Dole to say, "The presi­
dent is welcome to come to any state. Thats the
way it should be,· Helms issued a grudging state­
ment of regret. The statement should "not have
been taken literally.·
More l'P.Cently, we have the January 28th
incident regarding House Majority Leader Ri­
chard Armey calling one of his party's most fre-quent critics, Rep. Darney Frank, a ·fag. • By the
way, Frank is a homosexual.
. Arrneywas having an interview with repon­
ers about his plans to write a book when he made
the homosexual slur. He originally called the in­
terview to express his plans to donate the profits
for an upcoming book deal to charity to avoid
the kind of critisims leveled by Frank at House
Speaker Newt Gingrich for wanting to accept a
$4.5 milliion advance for his book. "Dont need
to listen to Barney Fag ... Barney Frank ... ha­
ranguing in my ear because I made a few bucks
off a book I worked on.·
Later, when asked by reporters about the
comment, Armey quickly issued an apology. "I
do not want Barney Frank to believe for one
moment 1 would use a slur against him. I have
trouble with alliteration. I was stwnbling, mwn­
bling. ... Barney Frank is a friend of mine. I dont
use the word in personal conversation . 1 would
not use such an expression, and 1 dont approve
of anyone who does this.·
Armey apologized again later that night,
"'Ibis was nothing more than an unintentional
mispronunciation of another persons name.·
On a much smaller and home grown note,
further exemplifying this trend of making of­
fensive statements and then retracting them can be seem with our own LC Conservative Oub.
In an apology of its own in last week's issue of
the Log for an ad they placed in last term's Log,
Reuben Green stated, "The advertisements were
based on satrical hwnor and were not to be taken
for literary fact, nor to directly anger of offend
people.·
It's almost as if seemingly experienced and
seasoned politicians have all the sudden been
plagued with momentary lapses of reason and
common ~unesy. All those years of carefully
cultivated political grooming and ediquette
seems to be failing them at their time of glory
and power. And what we've been left with are
incidents of offensive statements made and then
retracted in the name of "it was only a joke,·
and a rash of petty and vindictive name-<:alling
usually only heard on and reserved for shows
like Rush Umbaugh and other conservative ra­
dio talk-shows.
Maybe at the freshman level, these politi­
cal offenses might be understandable. But these
are not green politicians fouling up. These are
senior members of Congress who dont get to
their positions of power by making mistakes
(especially not with the press).
For our sakes, lets hope that these are re­
ally just mistakes,jokes and misunderstandings . Because the alternative would mean a carefully
crafted, vindictive, and decieving form of p0-
litical sparing condoned at the higher echolons.
This could be a start of a ·strategy of hattred
and division; as Rep. Nita Lowey described it.
To end with, we have a speech by Gingrich,
given on Janauary 7 call "Renewing American
Ovilization· at Reinhardt Junior College.
-What does combat mean?" said Dr.
Gingrich, who managed to avoid military ser­
vice. "If combat means being in a ditch, females
have biological problems staying in a ditch for
30 days because they get infections, and they
dont have upper body strength.
"I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare.
"On the other hand, men are basically little
piglets -you drop them in the ditch, they roll
around in it,doesnt matter, you mow. These
things are very real.
"On the other hand, if combat means be­
ing on an Aegis class cruiser managing the com­
puter controls for 12 ships and their rockets, a
female again may be dramatically better than a
male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a
chair all the time because males are biologically
driven to go out and hunt giraffes.·

Foreman scores big: on and off court
by Kerry Konper
You can see the strain in his face
as he hustles after a loose ball, he
grabs it and throws it back to a team­
mate. He comes to a quick stop,
turns, runs back across court to the
comer and drains a three off a pass
from a fellow Pio. He raises his arms
in victory with a great sense of pride
as a boyish grin crosses his face. The
intensity that was in his face seconds
earlier, has disappeared and he starts
taunting the other team.
No, this is not a scene from a
recent Pioneer basketball game, it is
simply a three-point drill in Wedn~
days practice. Although Dinari Fore­
man would never taunt another
team, he creates an aunosphere that
is loose and fun for his young Pio­
neer teammates , but before the fun
comes work.
Foreman, grew up in Rich­
mond, California, spending many of
his days playing on local play­
grounds. He was a short chubby kid,
who, luckily for Bob Gaillard and his
Pioneers, hit a growth spurt. But
during those days of being the
"shortest kid" he learned a shot se­
lection that today terrorizes NCIC
opponents.
"If you didn't score you got
kicked off the court, I had to learn
to hit hook-shots, jumpers and de­
velop quick release. Those guys
didn't care, they would swat the crap
out of you. I played against guys
who were much better that me, guys
who could compete with anybody."
His years of being swatted have
paid off in a huge way. Foreman is
currently averaging 26.7 points per
game, tops in the conference and
forth in the nation. He is also sec­
ond in the conference in rebound­
ing. He has been the leading scorer
in all twenty three Pioneer games.
With all his accomplishments he is
the clear favorite for MVP honors in
the NCIC.
"I wouldn't trade him for any­
one in the conference," Gaillard said
of his all-star forward. "He shows
so much leadership during games
and in practice."

for everyone he faces, but also has a
confidence that makes it possible for
him to compete with anyone. While
at Napa Valley Junior College, he was

Young Pioneer swimmers look to national tourney
by Jamie Diamond
Hidden away in the dark re­
cesses of the Pamplin sports center
lurks the Lewis & Clark Pioneer
sWim team. This ten member group
of elite athletes has been working
hard on swinuning, lifting weights.
and competing since October. This
team of five men and five women,
lead by the masterful tutelage ofhead
coach Don King and assistant coach
Margaret Mallott, have paddled and
sttoked through such fierce compe­
tition as Unfield and Willamette.
The 94/95 swim team is made
up entirely of lower classmen; six
freshmen and four sophomores .
This yean team, which is made up
entirely of young pups, makes the
future of LC swinuning look prom­
ising. This young and upcoming
team is headed up by sophomores;
Bjorn Larson, MaryBeth Christo­
pher, Tia Henderson and Sarah
Schmidt
Larson, who specializes in the
200 freestyle, 50 freestyle, 200 indi­
vidual medley, 100 butterfly; 100
freestyle and 100 breaststroke,
scored a second place finish in the
200 individual medley and first in
the 100 butterllyagamst Willamette .
Larson also holds the season~ best
times in all of his 'specialties' .
McCulloch, a freshman, is on all four
relay teams, holds the LC seasons best iD the 100 backstroke and 200
. backstroke. McCulloch has also
achieved a time good enough to
qualify him for an optional swim at
the national toumeyin the 100 back­
sttoke(57.84). Gray; another frosh­
swimmer holds the LC season~ best
at the 200 breaststtoke with a time
of 2:57.38. Matt Buchanan, also a
first year, is on the 200 and 400
medley relay and the 200 and 400
freestyle relay. Freshman Warren
Pereira from Bombay, India, rounds
out the 'men~ squad
The Lady Pio swim team boasts
some solid swimmers including na­
tional qualifier Sara Schmidt.
Schmidt, who holds the yearS bests
in eight events, placed first against
Willamette in the 100 backstroke in
a time of 107.86. Schmidt qualified
for nationals in this event in a time
of 104.41 and she qualified for an
optional swim in the 200 backstroke
in a time of 2:20 .46.
Fellow sophomore MaryBeth
Cluistopher holds the LC season~
best in nine events, including a sec­
ond place finish against Unfield in
the 200 freestyle. Tla Henderson,
also a sophomore, holds six LC
season~ best including the 100 and
200 breaststroke. Henderson placed
fourth against both Willamette and
Unfield in the 100 breaststroke .
Sarah Triplett and Suzanne Uberman, both freshmen, round out
the womens squad. Triplett scored
a fourth and a second place finis'll
