Campus Overcrowing Crisis; Myth or Reality?
by Trina Schoenberg
There has been a lot of talk
about the problem of overcrowding
in the dorms next year due to the
new two year residency requirement
created in 1993 which will take ef­
fect with the class of 1998. "This new two year requirement will create
some high den~ity liVing, which is of concern
to some ~~tudents.1J ranging from 95% in 1985-86 to
100% in 1987-88, due to higher
enrollment, actl,la11y caused students
to get along better than worse be­
cause there were fewer options for
students to move around, they have
no choice but to get along.
Currently there are 845 stu­
dents living on campus: 468 first
years, 190 sophomores, 86 juniors,
52 seniors, 45 ISALC students and
4 "others" which includes 3 teach­
ing assistants and one college out­
doors intern. The current campus
capacity of "bed space" available is
937 which leaves plenty of leeway
for moving around With the new
two year residency taking effect next fall, there will be an estimated 999
expected residents seeking housing
on campus in September. To
accomidate the increase of on cam­
pus students Ponderosa will be con­
verted back into donn space. Quads
which were fonnerally only counted
as triples will be revaluated with four
bed spaces which will increase the
bed space for the fall of 1995 and an estimated 50 sophomores overseas
will create enough space to
accomidate an those estimated to live
on campus. Whelrl questioned about
the issue of more: overseas trips be­
ing gone in the fall than spring,
Michael Ford, Director of Campus
Ufeand Dean ofStudents responded
by saying, "We're: just going to have
to live through that." Ford is also going on the assumption that from
the record in previous years, some
students just will not show up. The two year requirement was
created for several reasons. The ad­
ministration wants to create a more
residential campus rather than a
commuting one. Michael Ford feels
that the experience of living in the
dorm is -an educational one, one
that students should have for more
than one year." A two year require­
ment would create a more mature
presence on campus, one that would This new two year requirement
will create some high density living
which is of concern to some stu­
dents. Ford claims that high den­
sity living, as was experienced in the
mid to late eighties when Lewis &:

Library catalog access possible

by cynthia MaIleck
For those students who have not yet had
a chance to return to the library this semester,
they should be glad to know that they won't
have to look through the card catalog again.
All but a few items in the library can be found
by the computer system now in place.
Where the card catalo~ used to be there
are four computers ready for use. Students
can also access the directory by logging onto
Internet.

library has a book without even walking out

modem) log onto the LC network and get onto

By this time next year, Lewis &: Clark
students may be hanging out in a student
lounge, listening to KLC in i~ new location,
and doing a bit of one-stop shopping, with
the cashier's office, business office, and
registran office in one convienent location.
All this and much more is part of a pro­
posal currently being made by the LC Con­
version Committee. This committee, made
up of members of the Administration, Staff,
Communication Board, KLC, and Student
Government, is in charge of the Templeton
Reconstructuring, which currently includes 18
or so moves both in, out, and within
Templeton
The current proposal includes the setting
up of a Student-Union like atmosphere within
News Templeton Michael Ford, director of campus
life and dean of students, said the moves are
being made "to better service (the students),"
and "the motive of this is very student service
driven.
By next year, Templeton may look entirely
different than it does now. If the conversion
committeee proposal goes through as currently
planned, the cashien office, business office,
and registrar's office would be on the lower
floor of Templeton. the main level would be
occupied by various media, including The Pia­
nur Wg, KLC and Lov, and a student lounge
would finally be created. ASLC President Gor­
don lavigne, who originally proposed the
Templeton Restructuring and is a member of
the committee, said the moves could begin as
soon as March or April, and hopefully finish
by ~ md of the coming summer. Dubach, the faculty dining room, will be
eliminated. KLC will be moving into the
Dubach kitchen space and the current com­
muter lounge. The Dubach dining area will
be made into a student lounge. Bon Appetit~
office will be moved upstairs, and The Pionur
Log will move into the old Bon Apetit office.
In total, at least 18 offices will be moved in a
domino effect.
In years past, attempts to get rid of
Dubach have been met with strong faculty
op~ition. However, "there~ always a trade­
off in space issues," Ford said.
Ford wants people to know that "this is
still in the proposal stage, the money has not
yet been allocated. "The proposal still has to
go in front of the the Capital Budget Com­
mittee, who will either grant money ~r deny

Check out the return Michael Ford responds Newmaln still has Catherine Broyles Go down to the library catalog: Watzek

when you are on the right track), and then
type the secret password: "lib". After that, the
program is actually quite self explanatory and
is similar to other library computer systems.
You can look for a book, periodical, or
document by author, title, call number, sub­
ject, keywords, government documents , or, if
you know it, the International Standard Book

is "a littfe complicated right now, but good."
Getting everynew user a library card takes
time, but she expects that after everyone gets
used to the new program, it will be less time
consuming for workers as well as users. It
looks like the library has definitely taken a big
step in the right direction. •

Long is aware that the lights
. were "not met with a good feeling,"
Students were complaining about
the amount of enery and cost of the
lights, so the company was called to
take them down. hassle with cords laying on the lawn.
Long stated that "it seemed like a
good time to do it" considering the
donation had been made. by Jefna McCuistion
Anyone near the library, Manor
House, or even casually driving past
campus at night at the start of the
term was likely to notice the Christ­
mas lights. Put up December 2, the
lights were still glowing brightly into
the first month of the new year. Lack
of awareness on campus as to where
th~ _.lights came from, why they
were on all day and who was paying
for the cost did not give students a
wann fuzzy glow~ but was met with
animosity and concern.
The lights were a specific gift
from a donor "who wmted to bring
cheer to campus," says Marion Long.
assistant to President Michael
Mooney, and coordinator of the
lighting project. The cost of the
lighting was approximately $10,000,
with an additional $50,000 cost to
repair the gas line that was hit while
digging the trenches for the wiring.
The contributor chose this kind of
donation for several reasons. Since fall semester tenninated .so close to
the holidays, the lights were seen as
a way to brighten the time that stu­
dents would normally be home.
Unlike a ~ the lights could be
enjoyed on more than one occasion,
while additionally diverting atten­
tion away from the chaos of the con­
struction site.
The contract with the lighting
company; Hollywood lights, was
origina1lyfor one month. At the end
of December, the lights were to be
taken down and aD the bulbs dis­
carded so they would not bum out
on the next client. The lights re­
mained up because the company
does not need this particular equip­
ment right away and offered to let
Lewis 1St Clark keep them up until
they begin to burn out The admin­
istration thought it would be a nice
way to light up the dreary campus
until then. This could have been
until mid-February or longer but
they were taken down earlier this . Student concern developed
from a lack of understanding of why
the lights had been on so long, why
the morey was spent in this way; or
why the campus looked like the .
Main sure~t electric pat:ade at
Disneyland . These questions are
reasonable since the student body
did not know the details about the
, lights, espedally when most people
looked at them with their own bank
accounts in mind or considered lost
educational opportunities.
Accompanying these glowing
holiday beauties were trenches for
the wiriltlg. TheSe were dug not
specifia1l)r for the lights, but for "mul­
tipurpose~ " reasons says Long refer­
ring to those times when outdoor
concerts are held on the lawn be­
tween the~ Manor House and the Trail
room and power has always been a Will there be future lighting in
the holiday season? There is a pos­
sibility that the tradition will be es­
tablished though the college would
do it a little differently. Long sug­
gested that physical plant could pur­
chase bulbs for a "nominal cost" and
would likely decorate only "lower
bushes and trees, maybe one taller
one," though students seem to pre­
fer lights on only the shoner vegeta­
tion anywa}C It is something that will
be decided in the years to come.

With this promise we can reduce the labor cost to clean the
dirty places. If these beautiful1anes of lewis &: aark were the

De Grossman, Cynthia Malledl, JeJna McCuistion, Jill L. I am an ISALC student, and I am very proud of being a
member of this college and a resident of Oregon. I arrived at
Lewis &: Clark in August. The air was so clean that 1 did not
wony about air pollution. The trees were so abundant that I
felt I was becoming a pan of nature as everybody feels in Cr­
egon. The situation changed as the seasons marched on. With
the onset of rainy winter WE:f!er, cigarette smoke has become
a problem. The atmospheric depression seems to be the pre­
vailing weather characteristic of this area, so the smoke proJ>.
lem seems to have become worse. I know that we must admit that the rights of the smokers
also exist and have to be protected in the correct ways; never­
theless, the execution of the rights of smokers does not need to
hano other people's health and the right to enjoy unpolluted
air. We never talk loudly in the opera theater even if we would
1ike to; we want to be courteous , not to hano others because
we respect our neighbors. We listen to music loudly at night in
our apartment only to the extent that it does not bother the
neighbors; we think TtStndning ourselves in this way is corn­
mon etiquette necessary to live together with other people in
society. In the same way. smoking in public places and throw­
ing butts onto the lawn should not be done by those who value
the beauty of nature and its conservation , and by those who
say "How are you?" from the bottom of their hearts. Peterson, Alyson Smith.

The students who follow behind or.pass by them are help­

become a large wastebasket filled with cigareue butts .
Vk have to seek the students: voluntary agreement not to
smoke in public places or at least when walking op. campus. We
have to have our own volunarypromise not to throw cigarette butts
or any other refuse on the lawn or hills of our beautiful college. I think we have to think about this issue for the sake of
the entire Lewis &: Clark community. I want to thank all the
students who never smoke when with others or when walk­

... prosecution in addition to the campus
judicial process. He was confronted with evi­
dence submitted from student residents who
named him as involved. He denied it. He
lied to Campus Safety officers and to me dur­
ing our initial investigations. He was scared,
and he tried to cover his tracks. This is not
the kind of behavior most people at this col­
lege would view as "principled ", as Mr. Shaw
chooses to characterize it.
However, to Mr. Barnett's credit, he finally
came forward to claim responsibility for his
behavior, as did one other student involved,
and they told the truth about their actions in a
meeting with Bill Curtin, Director of Campus
Safety. on October 21. Mr. Shaw is correct in
his infonnation that there were several other
incidents that same night involving the mis­
use of fire extinguishers as well as the pulling
of false fire alanns. Sean Barnett and two other
students faced Specific charges related only to
incidents in Plau Hall.
A number of other students involved in
misusing fire emergency equipment have not
come forward. They know who they are, and
some of their friends may choose to protect
them. In Platt Howard Hall this semester, four­
teen false fire alanns has been set, and many
of those alanns prompted a response from the
Portland Fire Bureau. It!> a sad state of affairs,
highly disruptive to residents to the Fire Bu-reau, and very dangerous for residents of
Southwest Portland who cannot be served for
legitimate fire emergencies because the Fire
Bureau is busy with false alarms on campus.
A word about the charges in the case in­
volving Sean Barnett In all student conduc:t
cases, in my role as Dean of Students, 1 exam­
ine the relevant facts as compiled on written
reports, and I then recommend charges to the
ASLC Chief Justice. In my judgment, the
charges in the Barnett case are appropriate to
the situation and are not repetitive in nature,
as Mr. Shaw has contended. Sean Barnett was
charged with disorderly conduct, underage
consumption of alcoholic beverages, public in­
toxication, misuse of fire safety equipment,
property damage, and violation ofhis residenc:e
hall contract. He didn't -just have a few beeJrs
and briefly discharge two fire extinguishers '·,
as Mr. Shaw contends. He was found to be
responsible for each of the separate violations.
All students, including Mr. Barnett, are
subject to the College!> standards of conduct
published in the Pathfinder, Additionally. if a
student is a resident, that student has signed a
separate contract in which the College is very
specific regarding conduct in the residenc:e
halls. Mr. Barnett!> conduct also violated those
written standards. If he were not a residerlt
student, he would not have been charged with
violating his residence hall contract. Whe:n
you rent a room or an apartment, you sign a contract with your landlord, and you agree to
certain things. That's the real world
On October 31, I also sent OriefJustice
Randy Fox a copy of the statement of charges
which I sent to Mr. Barnett, and in that letter I
directed Mr. Barnett to meet with me to fur­
ther discuss the charges, to clarify the process,
and to insure that he understood his rights, as
detailed in the student handbook, The Path­
firukt. I follow this same procedure with ev­
ery Peer Review Board case. Mr. Barnett re­
ceived his letter from me on October 31 (his
signature of receipt is on file in my office). In
that letter, he received all written materials that
would be provided to the Peer Review Board
for his hearing, including a report detailing
his confession to Bill Curtin on October 21.
He was also told in that letter that his hearing
would be scheduled by the Peer Review Board,
and he would be notified in writing by Mr.
Fox. Mr. Barnett did not follow up on my
, directive to come to my office until a couple
days before his hearing date.
Mr. Fox sent the hearing notification let­
ter via campus mail to Mr. Barnett on Novem­
ber 4, six days before the date of the hearing,
November 10. Mr. Shaw states that Barnett
did not receive the letter until the day before
the hearing. That may be the case, but he cer­
tainly was not surprised by any of this, as he
had full knowledge of the charges and that a
hearing was inuninent The Peer Review Board Sincerely,
KwangSooOh
and my office did not violate his rights, and
we behaved in a manner which is fundamen­
tally fair to Mr. Barnett, as we do so with every
student charged in this judicial process.
At the hearing itself on November 10, he
had an opportunity to be heard by his peers,
and after his testimony the board members
deliberated for over four hours regarding ap­
propriate sanctions for Mr. Barnett and the
other students involved in the hearing. The
board can impose a number of sanctions in­
dependent of consultation with, or approval
by, me. That authority is outlined in the fith::
firukr, They did so, and in my judgment, the
sanctions they imposed are thoughtful , edu­
cational in nature, and where property dam­
age was caused, the accused students were
directed to repay the College for the damage.
The Board also recommended that 1 in­
voke a disciplinary suspension for the Spring
tenn in the case of Mr. Barnett They did so
because during the hearing Mr. Barnett did
not demonstrate that he Wlderstood the grav­
ity of what he had done, nor did he assume
responsibility for the consequences to others
of his actions. In short, "he just didn't get it."
I accepted the Board's recommendation
for a disciplinary suspension and sent wriuen
notification of the suspension to Mr. Barnett
and to the Registrar on November 18. The
suspension will take effect Spring tenn. I
-................... IIAIIIEIT At 70, Newman Still Has What it Takes in Nobody~ Fool ~
Two recent movie arrivals to
Portland, "Legends of the Fall" and
"Nobody's Fool", are both being
highly touted as possible Academy
Award contenders. Despite this
common bond, however, the films
are as different as a Nerfball is from
a sledgehammer. While "Legends" is
soap opera material elevated to epic
proportions with in your face mu­
sic, action, emotion, and perfor­
mances, "Fool" is a quietly captivat­
ing character study filled with wann
humor and life lessons. That each
film is successful in achieving its
goals is a testament to the possibili­
ties of two wildly diverse filmmak-
ingstyles. .
"Legends", based on a no­
vella by Jim Harrison, examines the
fottunes and misfottunes of the
tightknit ludlow fami1yin Montana,
primarily during the decade between
1913 and 1923. Narrated by One
Shot, an Indian friend of the family
(which contributes considerably to
thesto~ mythic qualities), the pr0-
logue introduces us to Colonel
ludlow (Anthony Hopkins), a long­
time Anny officer who finally quits
service after seeing the abomination
of the govemment~ polides towards
the Indians. With his wife and three .
sonsAlfred, Ttistan. and Samud. he
hopes to carve out an existance on
the vanishing frontier of the West.
However, the isolation soon proves
to be too much for Mrs. ludlow and
she heads back east, essentially leav­
ing the ludlow men alone.
Flash forward a few years
and the sons have now grown up.
Samuel (Henry Thomas) is return­
ing from college for the summerwith
his' fiancee, Susannah Oulia Onnond) to introduce her to the
family. Colonel ludlow, Alfred
(Aidan Quinn), and Tristan (Brad
Pitt) are all equally captivated with
her, and for one brief moment, the
world is at peace. But then, news of
the Great War in Europe reaches
Samuel and, despite his fathm and
Susannah~ objections, he insists on
enlisting. Alfred and Tristan join out
of obligation of looking after him,
and the consequences of these two
dedsions plunge the family int~ a
nightmariSh period which will bring
about immense pain and suffering,
tom loyalties, and not a few deaths.
Toss in with this raging passion and
swift and brutal action sequences,
and "Legends" truly crams eveything
including the kitchen sink, into its
two hour r:wmmg time.
Brad Pitt is the center of the
movie and proves that he is capable
of carrying the burden, even though
at times, the story makes him out to
~ an ahnost supemuman avenging
angel. Since his relationship and
conne¢on with One Shot, as well
as a subtheme which ties Tristan~
soul in with a bearin the woods, hint
at some supematuml qualities, these
daring feats do not seems entirely
hokey, but are still dramtica1ly shaky.
In what he has referred to as
his "first \\btem". Hopkins is essen­
tially slumming. but since he is an
amazing actor, it is high-quality
slUmming. Plus, he gets to cuss and
act ornery. which is fun in itself.
Julia Onnond is dazzlingly haunted
as the woman driven mad eventu­
ally by her love for the brothers, and
this is imponant, since she needs to
have this depth of passion in order
to make the brothers' reactions plau­
sible.
For my money, though, the
true star of the film is Aidan Quinn,
who is not onscreen as much as Pitt, . but wh0S4~ tum as Alfred, the eldest
brother, and the one who feels the
most removed from his family. burns
with a tTllgiC intensity that simply
commands "Legends". In his efforts
to make :something of himself, he
ends up undOing his family. and de­
stroying his own happiness.
True, "Legends" is entenain- .
ment of tl~e slickest sort: essentially
repackagiing the epic for the mall
crowd. But it is nearly impossible
to not give in to the frenzy and sim­
ply overlook the films efforts to cover
too much ground. With actions for
the guys ~md romance for the ladies,
its the ultimate date movie to boot.
I give "Legends of the Fall" three
stars.
"Nobody's Fool", on the
other hanld, goes the opposite route,
concerning itself more with the atti­
tudes and actions of its characters
than in filling itself up wiu. too much t,
plot. It is set in the fictional com­
munityolrNorth Bath, New York, the·
kind of tOIWll that eXists onlyin mov­
ies or books, where everyone is a
quirky individual and even the old­
est of rivalries are tendered with
grudging. admiration.
At the center of it all is
Donald ·Sully" Sullivan (Paul
Newman) an on-again, off-again
constructdon worker who is down
on his luck enough to be a boarder
in the gw:st room ofhis former pe
school ~lcher Oessica Tandy). Over
the holidays. Sully finds himself get­
ting recolnnected with the son he
abandonted at birth (Dylan Walsh),
who is n.ow experiendng his own
marital ·difficulties, engaging in a
game of ()ne-upsmanship involving
a snowbllower with his boss, Carl
(Bruce Willis), and Oirtingwith Carls
long-suftiering wife, Toby, (Melanie
Griffith).
Over the course of the tale, little inddents do pile up, but none
that could be predicted from the
start. We feel instead, as if we are
seeing life from Sull~ point of view:
starting out rather aimlesS and can­
tankerous and ending up a little
moresatisified, and a little less lonely.
At the age of 70 (and play­
ing a 6O-year old, no less), Newman
delivers one of his most engaging,
spirited per£onnances, lifted even
higher by the indescribable natural
charisma he brings to the pan. It is
enjoyable to watch him at work, es­
peciaDyin the scenes he shares with
Tandy. who, in her final film, infuses
the screen with her own inimitable
chann and grace. Robert Benton~ meandering,
leisurely paced script and direction
might have faltered in the hands of
less capable actors, but instead it
becomes an acting showcase and
succeeds as the kind of film that
wishes only to leave the audience
with a warm glow. Ana earns it ad­
mirably. I give "Nobod~ Fool" three
and a half stars.

Immortal Beloved Revea1s Beethovens Personal life
In a world where we're so
used digging up old bones, its no
surprise that even the 19th century
composer ludwig van Beethoven
has his life put to the test of public
scrutiny.
British writer/director Ber­
nard Rose delves into one of the most
well-researched areas of musicology
as he takes his tum at naming
Beethoven~ "immortal beloved."
The mystery of the "im­
mortal beloved" provokes and in­
spires. She is Beethoven 's
unrequitted love. Any self-respect­
ing composer/song-writer dedicates
at least a ditty or two to ~ gem of
all emotions. Rose has grabbed onto
this notion along with the 90s sen­
Sibility of a "tell-all tale" and re­
warded his eagar audiences with a
personal glimpse into the private life
of Beethoven. The story doesn't
make his life any less tragic, only
more human.
The film begins in 1827, the year of Beethoven'S death.
Shindler Oeroen Krabbe), his assis­
tant, has discovered that he has
willed all ofhis wordly goods not to
his surviving brother, but to his "im­
·mortal beloved. II Having mown no
ant romantic love to have struck
Beethoven~ heart, Shindler (like the
many scholars and biographers who
have dedicated their careers to solv­
ing iliis mystery) takes it upon him­
self to find her. The story unfolds
from here, as Shindler re-traces
Beethoven~ steps back to the Swann
Hotel in Karlsbad where a meeting
between he and the "immortal be­
loved" supposed took place in 1812.
Jeroen Krabbe (Shindler),
who played Bamra Streisands piti­
fully adulterous husband in the
PrinaofTu1es, brings truth and com­
passion to the film as Beethoven~
right hand man. He is as committed
to Beethoven upon his death as he
was in his life, and serves as the
audiences lens into the u~folding
mystery.
Gary Oldman (Beethoven)
stunningly rises to task of bringing
one of the most complicated person­
alities in history to life. His body moves as the great composerS must
have, wilth a sense of being apart
fonn Othl~, in a different world We
see an abused and frightened child,
a sexually-appealing young man, a
jealous IOlver, an egoist, and an emo­
tionally-lrocky genius. Oldman is
believabl,e and keeps us constantly
"Certainly the
story and players
are not the only
dements that
make this film
powerful; the
soundtrack is filled
with Beethoven's
rnost loved and
renowned works."
wary.
And finally the women of
this film, though cursed with a twisted combination of vanity and
pride, shamelessly support Oldman
in their brilliant performances.
Isabella Rossellini, Johanna Ter
Steege, and Valeria Golino play the
three women who Shindler has cast
as the likeliest recipients of the "im­
mortal beloved" letter.
Cenainly the story and
players are not the only elements that
make this film powerful; the
soundtrack is filled with Beethovens
most loved and renowned works.
Rose choreographs the music into
the sto~ so that we see a gentle,
passionate Beethoven playing the
-Moonlight Sonata" and an aged Beethoven listening to his final sym­
phony. The music is always there,
but only in these few occasions does
it move beyond the forefront of the
background. Rather, it accompanies
Beethovens actions and lends itself
to their justification. When the film
does attempt to bring insight into
Beethovens rich compositionai styie,
it offers only glimpses. .
I doubt that fans will love
him less though, even if his music is
sometimes overshadowed by the
plot. If Immortal &Iovtd does one
thing well, it is it~ ability to illumi­
nate the life of one man and make
us hear his music differently.

Broyles Opens Eyes Of the LC Community to the Needs of the Blind
by Alylon Smith
Catherine Broyles brings
unique meaning to the idea that a
dog is mans best friend. For the past
month, she has been a best friend to
Alexi, a 4 month old guide dog in
training. Perhaps you have seen
them around campus and wondered
what exactly CatherineS role is in this
puPPrS life and future as a seeing
eye dog.
Right now, Alexi has it fairly
easy. She lives in Catherine's donn
room, eats 3 times a day, and has
the privilege of being able to be any­
where on campus including build­
ings and restrooms. Alexi is in a 1~
18 month phase of her guide dog
training; the only things she has to
learn are simple commands like "sit",
"stay", "don'tchew", etc. CatherineS
goal is for Alexi to reach a place of
relative maturity. By the time that
her initial phase is over with, Alexi
should be a self-assured dog, one
that is confident, loyal, and abIe to
make intelligent decisions for its' fu­
tureowner .

deadline
March 3 At the end of the 1~ 18 month
training phase, Alexi will have to
pass a test in order to become a blind
persons guide. At this point, Alexi
will be able to understand and act
upon simple verbal commands in
omer to lead her future owner to
places like the bookstore or the bar­
bershop.
"She has taken
something she enjoys
and foreseen its ac­
tion as a statement
about sodal aware-
ness here at Lewis
and dark."
It is not unusual for Catherine
to be doing the community such a
service. She is very involved with
assisting people in the community.
A prime example of this is her posi­
tion of Resident Advisor for the
Community Service floor here at
lewis and Clark. Off campus she is
CUrre:ltly helping to plan a Senior
dance for Senior citizens at a local Nursing home.
One might wonder how
Catherine got involved in training
guide dogs. It just so happens that
she is the first in five generations of
Broyles that haV1~'t needed a guide
dog. Being so familiar with guide
dogs, Catherine decided she would
train one. No rean~ she and her fam­
ily were at a !£air and saw the
GUidedog Inc.
booth and decided
to send away for
information .
Guidedogs Inc. is
a non-profit orga­
nization with sev-eral branches. The most con~ent
one for Catherines family to be in­
volved with was the Multnomah
County Guiding Eyes Club. Even­
tually, they were given the option to
train a labrador, a golden retreiver,
or a Gennan Shepard, which they
chose. They enjoyed training it so
much that Catherine decided that
she would like to co-raise another
dog with her sister and that is how
she began training Alexi.
Catherine ha$ gone beyond
simply pursuing enjoyment in train­
ing guide dogs. She has taken some­
thing she enjoys and foreseen its ac­
tion as .. statement about social awareness here at lewis and dark.
She has become a leader in social
awareness by paving the way for
blind people to attend school here
in a comfortable atmosphere. By fa­
miliarizing the students and faculty
with having a dog in places no dog
has been before, she can "see [the
administration] making a move to­
ward more accessibility" in all parts
of the campus and for all physical
differences. Catherine believes that
this campus is ready for blind people
to be a part of its diversity. Hope­
fully, that will happen soon thanks
to Catherines fOresight and efforts.

A Time For Pride: Indonesia Remembered
Lewis & Clark Community:
Moments admittedly are rare in college
life when academic reserve gives way to exulta­
tion and pride of campus. But twenty-six Lewis
& Oark students in Indonesia brought me this
kind of experience, which I feel compelled to
share, because it reinforced for me what educa­
tion at lC can represent.
Our students gained substantial under­
standing of another cultuTe--Qctually. several
other cultures----another language, and another
part of the world. Equally, they gained mastery
over important dimensions of themselves-un­
derstandings of limitations and potentials im­
mediately useful to their continued careers on
campUs and possibly useful for a lifetime. The
critical meshing of character and aptitude ac­
celerated before their eyes. They became larger,
more interesting people.
I have gotten to witness these educational
transformations over the past year and a half,
since students first began to inquire about the
Indonesia program and to take courses in prepa­
ration. Now that the program is over I shall
enjoy for the next two and a half years the post­
trip maturation of project papers and senior the­
ses, continued development of language fluency,
and other intellectual spin-offs from the months
abroad. This continuity, this sustained intenec­
tual intimacy, is a teache~ dream. LC is rare
among institutions of higher education to foster
this form of higher education. Our students included philosophy, history.
biology, fine arts, psychology, Hispanic studies,
economics, anthropology, music, polittal sci­
ence, foreign language, religious studies and self­
designed majors. First-semester sophomores,
undecided about majors, joined final-Slemester
seniors, just as experienced international trav­
elers jOined individuals who had never been out
of the U.S. Rural and small town backgrounds
met urban and suburban sophistica~es, and
Porsche jockies joined blue-collar polpulists.
Ethnic minorities faced new identity challenges
in stereotyped fOreign images of Amerians.
In Indonesia we experienced the standard
scenario-intensive language study, urdversity
lectures on culture, history and contemporary
issues, major performances in the arts and field
trips to must-Slee monuments and historic::al sites.
But we also lived in four separate Indonesian
cultures during the three and one-half mc:mths­
Javanese, Moluccan, Minahasan and Balinese.
Ethnic, racial, religious, economic,linguistic and
other contrasts were vivid, as were the fotteS of
nationalism, regionalism, and development.
Occasionally we grimaced as less attractive ex­
ports of U.S. media stared back at Us in con­
torted mimicry to shatter our preconceived no­
tions of precious tradition and authenl!ic local
culture. Our understanding of political s;ystems,
cultural integrity and international relationships
became more complex and nuanced.
Some of the best learning surely occu~
as individuals pursued personal projects and interests or tested themselves against the all-too­
ready challenges that living in Indonesia pre­
sented. Coping with sweat, mosquitoes, dys­
entery, raging skin infections and bouts of fever
was unavoidable . More remarkable, each indi~
vidual found the fortitude despite these discom­
forts to embark on personal adventures. Two­
somes or threesomes traversed the country-to
the leakey orangutan reserve in Central
Kalimantan (Borneo), to upriver villages in East
Kalimantan, to the Baliem Valley in the moun­
tains of Irian Jaya Ondonesia New Guinea), to
the spice islands ofTernate and Hahnahera, and
to the isolated, malaria-infested interior of
Ceram. A number of individuals climbed high
mountains and vokanoes or ventured to tiny
islands by canoe to examine special flora and
fauna or to find communities less touched by
modernity. Yet some went to Jakarta to witness
the APEC conference, perhaps to see an Ameri­
can president in action abroad. All brought back
to the group as a whole added dimensions of
meaning for our joint venture.
Toward the end of the semester, in Buleleng
province in northern Bali, we moved to the more
han~ experience of art, artisanry and per­
formance in a culture where the romance of
human mystery perhaps infuses daily life more
than anywhere else on earth. Seven of our stu­
dents, supported by Balinese artists, even put
on a full evening performance of traditional
dance and gamelan before a packed village au­
dience. We shall never forget the squeals of de-light and repeated applause for what was said
to be the first such performance by foreigners
in this part of Indonesia.
. Could a teacher ever feel more proud of
his students, I wondered, as the program came
to a close. Then I realized that the deepest feel­
ings of accomplishment derived from something
which had to be ascribed to the group as a whole.
Somewhere in the warp and the web of our
group fabric lay an appreciation by individual
participants for one another, warts, wisdom, and
all. despite very different values, interests, his­
tories and personalities, we knew we had cre­
ated something coherent and precious, if wholly
illusory and momentary. Should academic value
be attached to this accomplishment? Maybe not,
but I am convinced that none of us could have
learned so much, advanced so far, had it not
been for this element of hard won mutual re­
spect and affection.
I returned to campus with a heightened
sense of pride to be at an institution fully com­
mitted to the value of of£<ampus educational
experience and to struggle to integrate this kind
of experience with more conventianal academic
life. My family and I share some~g special
with our twenty-six students, but all of us, I
believe, now have an enlarged vision of what
we owe to the lC community.
Sincerely.

of time that we began to notice deep-rooted, fundamental differ­

.. .accepted the Board's recommendation
because I have immense respect for this group
of students and for this process. Board members
are thoughtful, fair, mature individuals.
representing a broad spectrum of students on
this campus, and their decision was both ~gh
and fair.
Over the past two years, the College has
worked with ASLC to create this student judi­
cial process, and we have chosen to entrust sig­
nificant student conduct responsibilities to stu­
dent peers. They have earned the respect of
this administration . We will support their deci­
sions, and when necessary. we will insure that
sanctions are completed in a timely fashion.
This Board is unfairly characterized in a
December 12 log editorial cartoon as a couple
of 1950ish &Ozzie and Harriet-straight-arrow
conservatives bent on· serving up cavalier and
unfair punishment without a thoughtful analy­
sis of the facts. Nothing could be further from
the truth. It is unfortunate that the Pioneer lq
editorial writers demonstrate such a lack of re­
spect for their fellow students on this
campus ... those who dedicate long hours to in­
sure that student discipline remains in the hands
of the students. It's a tough and thankless job,
but ovu 75 students applied to serve on the
Board and a substantial number were inter­
viewed by the Mr. Fox for the 12 appointed
board positions this year. One final comment. In his December 12
editorial, Mr. Shaw continues to sugg;est that
M ... the administration is scapegoating and rail­
roading a student whose compliance pmved to
be his undoing. -Sean Barnett appealed his sus­
pension. He has a right to do so. He met with
Dennis Madson and presented additional infor­
mation indicating that his actions on the night of
October 14 were an aberration, not a ~Ittem of
behavior. He presented several letters of:support
from former residence hall staff members, friends,
and a faculty member. Dr. Madson then recom­
mended in writing to the Peer Review Board that
they review the case again, and Dr. Mad:~
ommended that Mr. Bametts suspension..l&.Jk:

done by the Board and its Chief Justice, :and act­
ing on behaH of the administration, b: would
not overturn the decision of the studel1lts. Yet,
he recommended that the Board re-visitits deci­
sion and re-consider the suspension .
The Board agreed to hear again from Mr.
Barnett, and his appeal was heard in early Ib
cember. Board members read his material, ~
tened to his personal appeal, and thell asked
him to detail what actions he had takelrt to ac­
complish the other sanctions (service, fines, pa­
per, etc.) that were to be done by the end of the
term. He had done nothin&. in the three weeks
smce his initial hearing. even though he had
earlier agreed to fulfill those sanctions by the
end of the Fall semester. He continued to demonstrate his disregard
for this student process and his lack of respon­
sibility for the consequences ofhis actions. For
this and other reasons, the Board did not accept
the recommendation from Dr. Madson for a
deferred suspension, and they recommended
again that the Spring semes~ suspension be
invoked, with two provisos ... that Mr. Barnett be
given until the end of the Spring semes~ to
complete his sanctions, and that he not be tres­
passed from campus during the Spring semes­
ter (a standard operating procedure during the
period of a suspension.) .
Mr. Fox notified Mr. Barnett personally of
this decision after the hearing. Dr. Madson ac­
cepted the finai recommendation from the Peer
Review Boani on December 6 and notified Mr.
Barnett in writing of the appeal denial and p~
visions of the suspension.
Thats the story. Not a happy ending. It
does, however, demonstrate that the student
judicial system is squarely in the hands of the
students, that the Peer Review Board is &for real-,
and that students are responsible for their con­
duct and will be held accountable by their peers.
It also demonstrates the College administration
will support Board decisions, even when they
may be unpopular to some vocal students.
So, Mr. Shaw and other e-mail
correspondents ... attack me and my fellow ad­
ministrators if you want, call us names, stere0-
type us as bureaucrats with &expensive cars &(for the record, I drive a 1978 Honda with no hea~,
a bad transmission, and a front door that only
opens from the outside), drone on about the
abuses of administrative power, Mfight the
power" .. you're missing the point
If you disagree with a decision made by
the Peer Review Board regarding the suspension
of Sean Barnett (after now knowing the relevant
facts in this particular case), please register your
complaints with Orlef Justice Randy Fox (email
rfox) ..
If you don't like how the system is being
run, apply to be considered for the Peer Review
Board or run this Spring for the ~ position
of ASLC: Orlefjustice . Students decide who will
run the Board and who will be on the board,
not the administration. Once they are chosen, I
work with the Board as their advisor, but they
make their own decisions.
And while your at it, write a letter to the
Pioneer ~ new editor{s), PhU Duong (and
Corinna Buchholz), and ask Mr. Duong to de­
liver a student paper to this campUs next term
worthy of the respect of this entire community.
I am hopeful that Mr. Duong will bring a level
oflong-overdue maturity to the paper. I'm tired
of tabloid journalism. The continuing saga of
Mr. Jeff's Shaw's &Soapbox- regarding Sean
Barnett is a case in point Enough is enough.
Sincerely.

Administration Finalizes Decision: Soldberg Gets The Call
by Chris Ott
After seven years as the defen­
sive coordinator GlUck Solberg was
finally named head coach of the
Lewis and Clark football team. The
announcement came after many
months of anxious waiting by play­
ers, students, alumrus, and Solberg
himself. The Pioneers struggled
through a tough season this fall
when the program was thrown into
disarray by the firing of Head Coach
Tom Smythe, just two days before
the season opener. Solberg was put
in the tough position of interem head
coach and tried to restore a little or­
der to the disrupted team.
Now that Solberg has officially
gained control of the team he is con­
fident that the Pioneers will be able
to get the progt?ID back on track.
With the additi~n of a new head
coach there will undoubtedly be
some changes in the structure of the
program. Solberg feels that these
changes will be minimal. One
change that Solberg stated was es­
tablishing a stronger running game.
"I'm not going to say that we're
goingto be a running team, beca\15e
we're going to be a wide open foot­
ball team, but it might appear that
we are putting more emphasis on the
run."
Another change will be the per­
manent addition of Mike Fangor to
the staff, a fonner LC standout quar­
telbaek who helped coach the Pios
last season. will be able to improve on lasts
seasons record through positive at­
titude and hard work. He intends
on incorporating more regimenta­
tion into the program with a better
structured off season and early train­
ingcamp.
The delay in selecting Solberg
as the head coach has put the Pio­
neers a little behind in their recruit­
ing. Although the recruiting process
was never stopped, it was difficult
for the coaches to talk to the recruits
about the specifics of the prop.
Now that the decision is final Solberg
feds that theywill be able to still have
a sucessful recruiting season and
generateastrongincomingfreshmen
class to accompany the Pioneer vet­
erans.
The Pioneer football program
will not be the only organization to
undergo changes next season The
Mount Rainier and Mount Hood
football leagues will be restructered.
The leagues had been seperated with
the Rainier league containing the
Northern most schools and the
Mount Hood league. incorporating
the schools in the South.
Next season they will be di­
vided with the state schools in one
league and the priVate schools in the
other. Le~s and Clark will be
grouped with the University of Puget
Sound, Linfield, Whitworth,
Willamette, and Pacific Lutheran
University to create a formidable
league. Defensive
