MANY LEWIS & Clark students
were alarmed upon returning
to school, as posters have
been put up around green areas on
campus warning of recent cougar
sightings in the area. While cougars are
normally reclusive animals and rarely
seen in urban environments, it is still
possible for them to wander into more
developed areas.
LC students refer to the cougar as
“Jane Fonda,” the name on many of the
posters.
Part of LC’s appeal to prospective
and current students is its natural en -
vironment. The school is surrounded
by lush evergreen forests despite being
located within Portland city limits.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we
sent the message to the community and
posted the signage after receiving two
reports of sightings in August,” Director
of Public Relations Roy Kaufmann said.

made earlier this month at the graduate
campus. It is unknown whether the
sightings were of the same lone cat.”

gars have not caused any property dam -age on or around campus.
“One of the aspects of living
and learning in a forested campus
surrounded by nature is the interaction
with wildlife,” Kaufmann said. “It’s
more useful to be aware than to be
worried.”

place by the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).

signs for the cougar sightings,” said Jay
Jording, Manager of Facilities Support
Services.
One sign located on the path leading
from LC’s law campus into Tryon Creek
State Natural Area warns that cougars
have been seen in the area as recently as
Sept. 5. The signs’ top three guidelines
in the event of a cougar encounter are to
stop, stay calm and appear large. They
also state, “Face the cougar and do not
turn your back towards it. Do not run.
Running encourages it to chase.”
According to the ODFW website,
“Oregon is home to more than 6,000
cougars.” However, “sightings and
encounters are rare.” It also states,
“if in the very unusual event that a
FRXJDU DWWDFNV \RX ¿JKW EDFN ZLWKrocks, sticks, bear or pepper spray,
tools or any items available.”
Many LC students were concerned
by these sightings. One of the main
reasons that Bria McHugh ’21
enrolled at LC was the belief that it
was a relatively safe campus.
“I never thought cougars would
be on campus, and honestly, it makes
me feel very unsafe,” McHugh said.
Additionally, McHugh said she
does not feel prepared to deal with a
cougar encounter.
“I just feel like it’s very unsettling
to know that there’s that kind of
danger that’s out of everyone’s
hands,” McHugh said. “At the end
of the day, if a cougar tried to attack
you, it would.”
Other LC students, such as Amelia
Rogers ’21, met reports of local
cougars with skepticism.
“ I d o n ’ t t h i n k t h a t t h e r e a r e
cougars on campus,” Rogers said. “I
know that there is often displaced
wildlife, but the possibility of it
coming that close to buildings, lights
and people is very unlikely.”

LIBERAL ARTS colleges across
the U.S. have recently seen
a decrease in the number
of prospective students applying

balance (60.8 percent females in
comparison to last years 65.5 percent)
and 30 percent U.S. students of color.
According to “The Great
Enrollment Crash,” an article by
The Chronicle on Higher Education,
“students have been inexorably
marching away from the traditional
liberal-arts majors. One such report
from the American Academy of Arts
& Sciences noted that bachelor’s
degrees in the humanities represented
17 percent of all degrees conferred
in 1967, compared with 5 percent in
2015.”
The enrollment crisis directly D̆HFWVOLEHUDODUWVVFKRROVVXFKDV/&
due to the emphasis these schools put
on the humanities. Yet, according to
the Chronicle on Higher Education,
not only are degrees in humanities
decreasing, so are the number of
young people who see the importance
of higher education. “Even more alarming is the
perception among a growing
number of young people today that,
with escalating college costs and
GLPLQLVKLQJ SD\R̆V LQ WHUPV RI
guaranteed career opportunities, a
postsecondary education simply may
not be worth the huge investment,” the article says.

“There’s change happening out
there in terms of the whole ‘going
to college population,’ … the choice behavior is changing among students,”
Delahunty said.
Yet, in relation to other small
liberal arts colleges, Delahunty
believes that LC is doing well.
“There’s a kind of market correction
that is happening, and Lewis & Clark
will be far above that, wherever that
line is,” Delahunty said. “But for other
schools, lightly endowed schools that
are more under enrolled and have a lot
of capacity, it’s kind of a scary time.”

year class size will be smaller than the
numbers projected at the end of the
last academic year. As a liberal arts
institution that is heavily dependent
on tuition, rather than endowments
and government funding, the decrease
in prospective students has a direct
impact on the college’s budget.

protest the inaccessibility of the event as one
of the few wheelchair users on campus.
The annual Pio Fair provides Lewis

an opportunity to advertise and reach

“Student Activities apologizes to the

or had issues fully participating,” Feiner said
via email. “We chose the Great (Platt) Lawn

departments, and community partners, and
the 500+ students that attended.”
Sarit Cahana ’20, a representative of
DSU, addressed Feiner about the situation
directly and says she felt heard, but still
thinks the administration can do more to

“(Feiner) sent an email to someone else

next year and copied me on that email as
proof to hold him accountable for next year,” Cahana said.
The Disabled Student Union (DSU) set
up a separate accessible table at the top of
the stairs so students with disabilities would
be able to access their services.
Cahana says this is nothing new for
people with disabilities and that she is
accustomed to dealing with issues herself,
especially because faculty aren’t trained
with all facets of accessibility in mind.
“Most of the time, if you’re disabled, or
especially disabled on this campus, you’re
having to come up with creative solutions,”
Cahana said.
Lara Koyshman ’23 has Complex

because the only way down was through
steps,” Koyshman said. “Also, it was super
crowded, so it was hard to maneuver
around.”
Frawley believes the Pio Fair is a symbol
of a bigger issue of accessibility issues on
campus.
“It’s grass or disabled people — that is
the choice that the admin on this campus
make,” Frawley said. “(It’s important) for all
students to be able to access events that de-
hermitize them and allow them to be social.”
For events to be more inclusive of people
with disabilities, Frawley suggests that
accessibility be considered in the beginning
of event planning, and that planners need
to recognize “institutional and systemic
able-ism” at LC, the able-ism that leads to
inaccessible events.“We do not have the validation of
RXU VX̆HULQJ DV D FROOHFWLYH LGHQWLW\ RQ
campus),” Frawley said. “And thus, the
H̆RUW PDGH RQ ZHOFRPLQJ DQG LQFOXVLRQ
needs to be more than just sheer ability to
exist in the same space.”
Koyshman feels Student Support
Services does well in supporting students, but said LC could do much more.
“I want myself included,” Koyshman
said. “I want to make sure that myself and
other disabled students can have those
(events) available.”
According to Feiner, Student Activities
hears the concerns of students with
disabilities and is reevaluating next year’s Pio Fair location.
“As we work to coordinate meaningful,
inclusive and empowering events for all
students, we will strive even more to employ
universal design strategies,” Feiner said. “To
that end, we have already begun planning
to ensure that next year’s Pio Fair can
accommodate and be accessible to all.”FRIDAY , SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

LAST SPRING, t h e A s s o c i a t e S t u -
dents of Lewis & Clark (ASLC) unan -
imously voted to implement a text -
book subsidy which assists low-income
students in paying for their textbooks for
classes. The subsidy began during the Fall
2019 semester, and applications closed
Sept. 15.
68 students applied for the subsidy,
and $2,625 will be dispersed to all appli -
cants.
Community Service and Relations Co -
ordinator (CSRC) Mikah Bertelmann ’21,
Student Organizations Coordinator Nick
Gothard ’21 and former ASLC Senator
Alex Webb ’22 were all involved in the im -
plementation of the subsidy.

said. “At the moment, anybody with a Pell
Grant is eligible for the subsidy. Anybody
without it can justify why they should be
receiving the subsidy.”
Bertelmann elaborated on how much
money each student will receive with the
subsidy.
“The way it is set up now is that there’s
a certain amount of money we have, and
so every student that applies who is qual -

Bertelmann said. “It is not equal per stu -
dent, it is based on a percentage.”
The money for the subsidy came from
the Student Organizations Committee,
composed of members of ASLC. Gothard
elaborated on the process of allocating
funds.
“As soon as the bill was passed, Ka -
tie (Kruger ’21), who was the CSRC last
semester, included it in their budget application,” Gothard said. “I can not re -
member how much they requested, but
then when we allocated money to all the
student organizations in April, the Student
Organizations Committee funded a part of
the amount of money that Katie had asked
for, then that money is supposed to be
used for the subsidy.”
The textbook subsidy was originally a

“I created an ad hoc committee, to

Gothard further elaborated on the
actions taken by this committee which go
beyond the implementation of the subsidy.
“One element of the ad hoc commit -
tee was also reaching out to department

actions they have taken to reduce (prices)

“The way the bill was written was that
the subcommittee, which was formed at
the end of last spring, controls how it is al -
located in the fall,” Bertelmann said. “But,
in the spring, my CSRC Committee will
look at it again, re-evaluate the process
and see if we need to make any changes.”
Webb suggested that in the future, the
textbook subsidy could receive more fund -

“Once this process has been done a

I drank the Crystal Light: my survival story
Transfer student Alex Barr details her unique time living in a sorority house at the University of Oklahoma
By ALEX BARR
I CAME TO Lewis & Clark as a
starry-eyed freshman in 2017. It
took time, but I grew to love this
peculiar little school. Nonetheless,
I transferred to a school back home
in Oklahoma due to, you know the
cliché, family issues. Even though I
had planned to stay at the University
of Oklahoma for the rest of my
collegiate career, I quickly realized I
had long outgrown the rolling plains
of my home state. How? I can sum it
up in two words: sorority life.
Are you hearing the “Kill Bill”
sirens? “A sorority girl? On my

the keyboard as I sift through my
mental catalog of dirty laundry to air. I
honestly am not sure if I am allowed to
disclose these details. Unsurprisingly,
sororities dislike stories being told to
anyone who has yet to sample their
Kool-Aid, or rather their Crystal Light.
So, I will reveal only one sorority secret,
EXW,KRSH\RXZLOO¿QGLWDPXVLQJ
Most of the sorority girls I met
had their eye on the prize: a husband. More importantly, many girls in
P\ VRURULW\ VFUDPEOHG WR ¿QG RQH
quickly so they could attain the high
honor of a candle-lighting ceremony.
What is a candle-lighting ceremony,
you ask? On special nights when
the moon is hung just right, and the
stars align ever so perfectly, we hold the sacred candle-lighting ceremony
after chapter, which is the weekly
meeting of everyone in the sorority.
After enduring all of the mundane
announcements, the president asks
all the girls who are in a long-term
relationship to come to the front of
the room. They then stand in a circle and slowly pass around a lit candle
as they sing a lullaby. Eventually, one
girl will blow out the candle, meaning
she is engaged. A sea of high-pitched
screams ensues and convicted “I
knew it!”s are tossed about the room.
The commotion dwindles as we all sit
and listen to the “how he did it” story in attentive silence garnished with
collective sighs after the particularly
dreamy bits. Bear in mind these lucky
girls are usually in their senior year,
so they have just reached the ripe old
age of 22. I witnessed four of these
ceremonies in one year.
In the end, I obviously decided to
come back to LC. I missed my friends
terribly, and I missed the person I can
be here. I may poke fun at sorority life,
DV,¿QGLWHHULO\VLPLODUWRDFXOWEXW
I would be lying if I said I hated all of
it. Although I carry several stories like
this in my back pocket, I really liked
certain aspects of my sorority, and I
say this knowing it will likely ruin my
image as a non-conforming, small-
school girl. I met ambitious, funny,
genuine and caring women, each of
them more complex than the three
Greek letters stuck to their cars or
printed on their sweatshirts. Are there
systemic problems with sororities?
Undoubtedly, yes. Yet, I found myself
surrounded by women who cared for
me like family, or even, dare I say it,
sisters. Even now I cannot bring myself
to throw out the shirts that boldly
read “(redacted) sorority” across the
front. Will I wear one around campus?
Maybe. Who knows, I might even

Cultural norms are

By MILICA 67$1,â,û
T HE BON APPÉTIT student
workers are facing a challenge this
semester. They are considering
unionizing amidst the troubles that the
company is experiencing here at Lewis
&ODUN%HFDXVH)LHOGV'LQLQJ5RRP
WKH %RQ LV FXUUHQWO\ XQGHUVWD̆HG
Bon employees and student workers
QHHGWRSXWLQPRUHH̆RUWLQRUGHUWR
keep everything running smoothly.
However, the student workers are still
getting paid minimum wage, the same
amount as before.
History has shown that students
at private institutions have a right
to unionize. In 2016, the National
/DERU5HODWLRQV%RDUGUXOHGLQIDYRU
of Columbia University graduate
students who wanted to unionize.
This set a precedent that students of
private institutions may seek the same
treatment as their coworkers who are
full-time employees.
LC’s student workers also have
a great example in their fellow
coworkers. The Bon’s full-time
employees reached a historic deal with
the company at the beginning of the
year when they negotiated their wages,
KHDOWKFDUHEHQH¿WVDQGIUHHSDUNLQJpermits on campus. If student workers
unionize, they will be able to negotiate
their wages together with full-time
employees and demand adequate
compensation for their work.
Numerous student employees
declined to be interviewed for fear
RIEHLQJ¿UHGEXWRQHFDPHIRUZDUG
under the condition of anonymity.
“Bon Appétit isn’t legally bound to
pay us more than minimum wage,” the
student worker said. “At the moment,
the student workers are earning $12.50
per hour (minimum wage) and the
student leads are earning $12.75 per
hour. It is actually the school that pays
the company for our (student workers’)
wages.”
Students who are in a leadership
position in the dining hall and are
expected to show higher performance
only earn an additional $0.25, which
amounts to one dollar more per shift
than their fellow student coworkers.
This means that it is the college,
not Bon Appétit, that is responsible
for setting student wages. Student
employees would be incentivized to
keep improving at their jobs if LC
would recognize that compensating
them adequately for their work should
be a norm, not an exception. If the student workers unionize,
they will be able to negotiate fair
compensation not only for themselves
but also for the future generations of
student workers at LC. Taking into
account that the college relies heavily
on students as a secure source of
workers, LC should take them seriously
as employees. It is important to keep
in mind that student workers also
have other responsibilities — many
of them are athletes, members of
student government or clubs. If LC is
expecting its student workers to strive
to be better at their jobs and take on
more responsibilities as they are given
leadership positions, it should also pay
them accordingly.
U n i o n i z a t i o n o f t h e B o n A p p é t i t
student workers would mean that
they would have more security and
bargaining power in negotiating for
higher wages. It might also prompt
other LC student workers to mobilize
as there might be cases similar to the
one at the catering company. Not
only will they be able to negotiate
for higher wages, but they would
also have an opportunity to form a
security network that would protect
them from workplace harassment and
discrimination.By CAN ALTUNKAYNAK
WHEN I WAS in primary school,
a girl used to call me “skeleton”
regularly during class breaks.
That was our only interaction. She
would call me a skeleton and I would

that!” Today, I do not remember her
name or what she looked like, but I
remember how bad it felt being judged
based on someone’s beauty standards. I
remember how much it hurt when one
of my friends called my body that of a
“small, unhealthy boy” and made me
self-conscious about my appearance.
For months, I would look at the
UHÀHFWLRQRIP\ERG\RQDQ\UHÀHFWLYH
surface and judge myself.
Most of the time, we do not give
that much importance to small things
like this because they are momentary.
However, this does not mean that
ZHDUHQRWD̆HFWHGE\WKHP&XOWXUDO
patterns aside, there are general beauty
standards that exist everywhere around
the world and most of the time they are
accompanied by gender roles. Growing
up with a twin sister made me realize
how gender roles were at work in our
lives. Initially, these norms are not as
obvious because pink and blue are just
colors. But, over time, you are expected
WR GR GL̆HUHQW WKLQJV EDVHG RQ \RXU
identities and that is okay because your
parents say so.
Most people do not even realize that
gender roles can be highly problematic.
Gender identity is not problematic in
itself as that is just how you feel and
express yourself. However, when you
use it to get what you want in a culture
that has strict gender roles, you do so
through a system of abusing yourself.
For instance, when someone with a
female identity tries to be “sexy” and
when someone with a male identity tries to be “macho” in order to get something,
they do two things. First, they objectify
themselves under predetermined
cultural standards, and they push others
to engage in similar behavior. This
creates a toxic culture wherein people
abuse themselves and others in very
subtle but problematic ways. Just last
year in September, a father committed
suicide in Turkey, which is where I am
from, because he thought it was a shame
to be a man and not have any money to
buy his son pants. It is exactly the same
mentality that obligates people to be
certain ways when it comes to how they
look. That is why strict beauty standards
accompanied by gender roles can cause
mental problems like eating disorders
and depression.
There are other ways these standards
cause discomfort in people’s lives.
Apart from feeling “not good enough”
for the beauty standards in Turkey, I
was also disliked by my female friends
because I ate a lot but I could not put
on any weight. For them, that was a
good thing, but it was not for me. Many
people impose their own standards on
others and think that they are universal
truths. However, we cannot determine
the relationship someone has with their
body so we should respect how they feel.
Even models have valid insecurities.
That is why we should not make anyone
conscious of their body unless we know
they are comfortable with it, simply
because we do not know what we can
trigger.
We might still make mistakes
because the notion of beauty standards
is so ingrained in our cultures and
talking about how others look is a
very automatized behavior. However,
being aware of the problem, engaging
in conversation and trying to change
ourselves is a pretty good place to start.AMELIA MADARANG/ 3,21((5/2*

THE LEWIS & CLARK s t u d e n t
body expressed its opinions
through publication of a
newspaper long before the birth of
our beloved Pioneer Log. In 1871,
Professor Royal K. Warren of what
was then Albany College began
publication of Our College Missive, an
early edition of what we would call a
college catalog today. In 1877, just one
year after Warren ceased production
of the Missive, students revived the
publication under the same name,

run newspaper of Albany College.
Though only a few issues of the Missive
were ever published due to strict

appearance. Created by economics,
history and German professor Alfred
C. Schmitt, the new student paper was
set up as a joint stock company with
Schmitt serving as the president, senior
J.P. Smick serving as editor and twenty

dollar share apiece. The paper met its
expenses by charging a subscription
fee of seventy cents per semester
(publishing eight issues a semester).
In 1902, two years after Schmitt
resigned from the College, editors
of the paper published a brochure
called the ACTA, which, though not a
school sanctioned yearbook, is largely

yearbook series. Because the school
could not pay for both a yearbook
and a school paper, the ACTA was dissolved after just one publication. In
1905, the Albany College student body
organized and took over publication of
the Student, replacing the subscription

The new assistant professor of art
and studio head of digital media
at Lewis & Clark, Brian House,
comes from a background of both
technology and art. He is a new media
artist with a doctorate in computer
music and multimedia, whose projects
have included the recording of rat
voices under New York City, and
public spaces in which light bulbs
automatically tweeted overheard
conversations.
At LC, House is
teaching a course

intersections of technology and the
material world, often incorporating
sound. One of his projects involved the
use of location tracking on his phone
for the duration of a year, resulting in
a list of GPS coordinates.
“Using code, I translated the data
into a musical composition, then I put
it on a vinyl record, such that if you
listen to one rotation of the record,

OVER NINE MILLION people
follow the Humans of New York
Instagram account, @humansofny,
which is famous for posting profiles of
New Yorkers accompanied by short
interviews. Following in the footsteps of
the creators of Humans of NY, Adrian
Aliwarga ’21 has brought his own
version to Lewis & Clark. The Instagram
DFFRXQW #KXPDQVRÀHZLVDQGFODUN
features photos and stories from students
DQGVWD̆DW/&
Aliwarga had thought about starting
the Humans
of LC account
for a while. He
wanted to feature
individuals in
order for people
to learn more about
the backgrounds,
identities and
experiences of
other members of the LC
community.
The Instagram account
existed before Aliwarga took charge:
two alumni, Jackson Thein ’18 and
Geneva Karr ’17, previously ran the
account, but it was left inactive once
they graduated. When Aliwarga began working with Public Relations
and Communications (PubCom), his
supervisor, Michael Mannheimer, told
him about the account, and he decided
to pick up where they left off.
“It took quite a bit of time to start
bringing it back online,” Aliwarga said.
“I think we are getting good feedback
and good reactions from the Lewis &
Clark community.”
Finding people to feature on the
account has been a difficult task for
Aliwarga so far, and he has been
focusing on people that he already
knows. He is looking to branch out, in
order to find a wider variety of students
who have had
interesting
experiences at LC.
“We want
people who really
have interesting
stories to tell and
who have not been
here a while,”
Aliwarga said.
“Their stories are
still fresh; from the
trend it’s been mostly sophomores and
freshmen.”
In the future, Aliwarga plans to
include more upperclassmen and
faculty.While not directly associated with
LC, the Instagram page is regulated
by PubCom. Students individually
write the story that is posted, but
PubCom monitors each post. The
topics featured in posts cover a wide
range of subjects. In recent posts,
interviews have ranged from coming
out experiences to dining hall stories. Many stories have been very personal,
as those being interviewed have been
more than willing to share.
“I personally say to just tell me
a personal story that you would like
to share with the LC community —
something that you’re comfortable
with, anything personal that has
affected you greatly,” Aliwarga said. Aliwarga plans to increase the
number of posts on the account, by
including a wider range of people
interviewed and stories told. The first
step for him is finding more people
who are willing to be featured. If
interested in being interviewed, email
him at aaliwarga@lclark.edu.FRIDAY , SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

ADA BARBEE/PIONEER LOGRobin Holmes-Sullivan brings changes to LC
New Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students unveils big plans to improve school
By ROSEMARY HICKMAN
LEWIS & CLARK'S newly appointed
Vice President for Student Life and
Dean of Students Robin Holmes-
Sullivan is ready to start this year running.
Holmes-Sullivan has many exciting
plans centered around student life on
campus. She is particularly interested in
GHYHORSLQJ³WKH¿UVW\HDUH[SHULHQFH´DQG
looking at how to better integrate students
into life at LC.
“The most critical time (is) when
students start their college career,

Holmes-Sullivan said. “In order for
that to happen … our programming

foundation, Holmes-Sullivan is hoping
to address the retention rate at LC. She
IHHOVWKDWWKRXJKWKHDFDGHPLFR̆HULQJV
of LC exceed expectations, the social
experience sometimes leaves something
to be desired.Holmes-Sullivan hopes that in
improving the infrastructure and
RSSRUWXQLW\ IRU ¿UVW DQG VHFRQG\HDU
students, the rate of retention will
improve.
“If you do (the first year
experience) really well and make sure
that the students are really acclimated
… the odds of them retaining to the
second year go up astronomically,”
Holmes-Sullivan said. “We are
imagining a first-year experience
(that is) exciting and positive for the
students.”
Holmes-Sullivan has many ideas to
improve student life on campus. This
fall, she is emphasizing collaboration
between students and staff aimed
at incorporating student opinions
into the process of upgrading campus
facilities.
With student support, Holmes-Sullivan
aims to transform Templeton Student
Center into a true student union.
“We have a campus center that has

VRPH VWXGHQW VWX̆´ +ROPHV6XOOLYDQsaid. “There’s no coherence to that
experience (or) in that building … I
would like for us … (to make) Templeton
the hub of the campus experience for
undergraduates.”
Holmes-Sullivan plans to make
these changes through a program
called the Campus Engagement and
Programming Plan, in which a Student
Experience Task Force (SETF) made
up of students and faculty will plan
renovations of existing areas and create
new student spaces.
This team will work closely with
other student success organizations
and collaborate with the New Student
2ULHQWDWLRQ 162 DQG ¿UVW\HDU
experience task forces.
“We wanted to tie the student union
to the student experience and … get the
students engaged,” Holmes-Sullivan
said. “I (want) students (to) be leading
that process and using their voice to
help us.”
Holmes-Sullivan looks forward
to working with students to continue to
improve the student experience.

congregating on the lawn with 16 LC student artists selling their work

Editorial: mental health awareness in sports
The mental health stigma in professional sports is fading but NCAA athletes still need more help
By ANNIE ERICKSON
FORMER quarterback of the In -
dianapolis Colts Andrew Luck
stunned the professional sports
world when he announced his re -
tirement from the National Football
League (NFL) at just 29 years old.
Luck was once an upcoming star in
the league but battled a variety of
shoulder and head injuries through -
out his seven-year career. When Luck
announced that he was retiring, he
did not credit injuries but instead
emotionally attributed it to a loss of
joy in both himself and the game. He
announced that he needed to choose
himself, his health and his family over
football.
The most surprising factor following
his retirement was the overwhelming -
ly positive reaction. Apart from vulgar
boos prior to his press conference, fans
primarily thanked him and other pro -
fessional athletes applauded him for his
courage. In a sport where toughness,
physical dedication and a generally
machismo culture is the norm, this re -
action shows the promising growth of
mental health awareness in professional
sports.
This is further proven through
actions made by athletes in the
National Basketball Association
(NBA). In 2016, Cleveland Cavaliers
center and power forward Kevin Love
sparked a league-wide conversation
when he released an article through
the Players’ Tribune discussing his
own mental illness in 2018. He was
also met with extreme support, and
he encouraged other players to step
forward and share their story. Most
importantly, Love and players like
him caused the NBA to expand its mental health program. It is now
required that each team have a
licensed psychologist on their payroll.
Professional athletes were able
to stimulate real change in sports by
utilizing their individual platforms.
Kevin Love and Andrew Luck secured
million-dollar contracts and extensive
fan bases when they shared their sto -
ries. Each player had the agency and security through their professional
and financial status to demand and
create change.
But college athletes do not have
that agency. In fact, the National Col -
legiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
is determined to give players as little
power as possible. Athletes are not
compensated despite the significant
amount of revenue they create for their colleges. This financial exploita -
tion allows for colleges and the NCAA
to define and control an athlete’s im -
age on a national scale. Therefore, it is
more difficult for student-athletes to
create an effective platform to destig -
matize mental health in athletics.
This does not mean that the NCAA
ignores or undermines the importance
of developing strong mental health programs for student-athletes. It rec -
ognizes that what college athletes do
can negatively impact their health
and does create avenues for them to
get help. The NCAA Sport Science In -
stitute has actually created a Mental
Health Task Force in charge of provid -
ing athletes with outlets and medical
help.
However, college athletes are still
almost 20 percent less likely than
other college students to seek out
medical help according to a study
by Professors Laura Sudano and
Christopher Miles of Wake Forest
University. Unfortunately, this makes
sense. Division I athletes do not have
the agency to make decisions that
benefit their mental health. Since
college athletes are so indebted to
the NCAA and the program they
are playing for, athletes could
easily be afraid to come forward for
fear of getting kicked off the team
or damaging their professional
prospects.
Lewis & Clark and other Divi -
sion III schools are less likely to face
these obstacles because the athletes
are far more integrated into the life
of non-athletes and have similar ac -
cess to confidential mental health as -
sistance. Furthermore, LC is far less
reliant on athletics for revenue and,
therefore, athletes do not have to wor -
ry about financial exploitation and na -
tional vilification.
In order to improve mental health
awareness in college, simply develop -
ing programs is not enough. NCAA
college athletics must loosen its
stronghold on student athletes and
empower them to create their own
platforms to get help without fear of
consequence.RAYA DEUSSEN/PIONEER LOG

Cross country team welcomes new head coach
Established Division III coach returns to Oregon to take the reigns of the cross country team at LC
By ANNIE ERICKSON &
MATTHEW FELDMAN
FOR THE 2019-20 season, the
Lewis & Clark cross country team
welcomes new coach Matthew
Barreau.
Prior to his hiring at LC, Barreau
coached for eight years at Division III
colleges and was incredibly successful.
He has led his teams to nearly 100
conference championships while also
FRDFKLQJQDWLRQDOTXDOL¿HUVDQG
all-conference athletes. Most recently,
Barreau coached at Coe College in
&HGDU5DSLGV,RZD+LV¿UVWFRDFKLQJ
job was at Portland State University and
he is thrilled to return to Oregon.
“I’ve wanted to come back and coach
in Oregon, so this is a job I can safely
say is my dream job,” Barreau said.
Beyond the favorable location,
Barreau saw LC as a strong institution
because of the existing academic culture
and athletic opportunities.
“I think the matching of academic
excellence with the potential for athletic
excellence at LC is really intriguing,”
Barreau said. “There is nothing more
rewarding than when you can line up greatness across (athletic and
academic)”
In order to achieve this athletic
potential, Barreau has introduced a
coaching philosophy that is centered
around individual athletes. He wants
to instill the belief that all athletes are
capable of greatness.
“My coaching style is student led,”
he said “I think it is my job as a coach to
show people what they are capable of.
I want to show them that if they really
believe in something they can do it. I
think students here at LC understand
that academically and they understand
the opportunities available to them and
I want them to see that capability is
available in athletics too.”
Barreau emphasizes that his
coaching style is centered around
challenging athletes to push past what
they believe they are capable of. He
believes that this will translate into
a culture of success and long term
success. This does not mean setting
VSHFL¿F VKRUWWHUP JRDOV EXW LQVWHDG
uniting behind a singular team identity
that will create a successful future.
³,WKLQNZHQHHGWR¿QGDYLVLRQDQG
a purpose,” Barreau said. “If we think that we can be one of the top programs
in the country, we have to do things this
year that will help us set up for that.”
Thus far, the team has had a positive
response to Barreau’s philosophy. Etta
Moen ’21, a team member, believes
he has been instrumental in building
strong team goals.
“He has created new goals, news
focuses and more team driven culture,”
0RHQVDLG³,GH¿QLWHO\WKLQNZHKDYH
responded thus far to (the goals) and
am looking forward to what the rest of
the season brings.”
Ultimately, Barreau has lofty goals
for his team and wants to ensure that
each athlete on the team believes in
those goals. However, he recognizes
that it is up to the athletes themselves
to truly achieve this success.
“You have to get (the athletes) to
open their eyes themselves and create
opportunities for them to see their
capabilities,” he said.
Barreau believes that this team
can be the building block for years of
success. In short, he wants to create
a winner’s mentality through strong
relationships of trust with his athletes.
“If you align hearts and minds, special things happen — I am
confident this is a place where that
can happen,” he said. The next cross country meet is
on Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Pacific
Lutheran Invitational.

CAMPUS LIVING announced new
plans to shake up the on-campus
living experience at Lewis & Clark.
One group of lucky students will be a test

to create ample space for four individu -
als to live there, though the original bed
remains. Exciting features include one
window, four walls, a door and a sin -
gle bed to platonically share with your
roommates.
In anticipation of the overwhelming
excitement for squad dorms, Campus
Living plans to convert all of the forest
singles into squads by 2021, freeing up
space for about 200 more students. Stu -
dents who request a double at the start
of the 2020 academic year are fortunate
enough to be automatically entered into
a lottery to win a space in a squad.

a semester, or twice that of a double. A
statement from Campus Living reads,
“We believe the value of living in a squad
is at least double that of a standard
room. You simply can not put a price on
the close friendships you develop while
sleeping with three other people.”
Those placed in a squad have two op -
tions at the end of the academic year:
they can remain in a squad, or move to a
single in Copeland. Unsurprisingly, most
are expected to elect to stay in the squad.

are better than one, four are even better.
Byron Wibbles ’23 exclaimed his ex -

in the 2020-21 academic year. “I am thrilled for the warm winters and
moist springs,” Wibbles said after hear -

Despite some apprehension from stu -
dents, LC housing announced that by

be transformed into a squad to allow the
college to admit more students.

at Lewis & Clark: student
athletes and students have become
friends during their time at New Stu -

opportunity to socialize without class -

a chance to interact with one another,
free from busy schedules and the deep
cynicism that comes from living in the
residence halls for extended periods of
time. These interactions led to a myriad
of friendships, not in the least between
two unlikely groups: students and
student-athletes.
This revelation came as shocking
news to many members of the LC com -
munity, who, until now, had not con -
sidered the possibility of fraternization
between the two groups.
Abel Rivers ’20 recently witnessed
an athlete chatting genially with a phi -
losophy major.
“I’m gob-smacked,” she said. “Abso -lutely gob-smacked.”
Rivers, an English major and the
type of person who uses words like
“gob-smacked,” has not spoken to a
student-athlete for her entire college
career.
“Well, they are athletes, you know?”
Rivers said. “It is hard to make conver -
sation if they just want to talk about
football or whatever. And besides, it is
hard to get to know them when they are
always at practice or games.”
When asked if she had ever attended
a sports-related event at LC, she seemed
confused.
“Why would I do that?” she said.
Your intrepid reporter, who has never
touched a sport, hesitantly approached
a student-athlete for comment.
“I feel like there is some weird ten -
sion left over from high school,” Aden
Carey ’22, a member of the LC football
team, said. “Students never come to our
games. A lot of the non-athletes have
this weird thing going on where they
are apathetic on purpose, like they are
trying to rub it in our faces that we are
not cool anymore just because we play
sports.” Carey seems bitter that he no longer
revels in the attention which he once
enjoyed in high school. Now, that at -
tention is paid to those who were once

“I just started talking to Alyssa at one

The aforementioned Alyssa Martin
’23 took time out of her lunch to com -
ment. “What are you talking about?”
Martin said.

hickey like the work of art they (and
everyone else) knew it was. As of
now, the student has not spoken up
about the hickey or how they got it,
and they live in Copeland, so hon -
estly it is anyone’s guess as to how it
happened, but there are a few theo -
ries going around.
The most popular of these the -
ories is that another student gave
WKLV¿UVW\HDUVWXGHQWDKLFNH\7KLV
would mean that a highly talented
hickey artist is currently a member
of our school. The level of detail and
dedication represented in this con -
troversial work implies a great artis -
tic talent in said student. Students
on campus are calling this mystery
artist “Hanksy” (hickey and Banksy
combined) due to their mysterious
nature.
Many Lewis & Clark students are
apprehensive of this theory because
of its sinful nature.
“I do not believe any student at LC
would ever think about partaking in
SUHPDULWDOVH[´)UHGULFN2¶1HLO¶
said. “It is sinful and yucky.”
A strange, yet way more possible
theory is that the hickey is of divine
QDWXUH 7KH 2̇FH RI 6H[XDO 2F -
FXUUHQFHVVHQWRXWDQṘFLDOVWDWH -
ment. “No mortal human being would
be able to brandish another person
with sexual markings this beauti -
ful,” the statement said.
They believe that some sort of
QRQVSHFL¿F KLJKHU SRZHU KDV
granted this freshman the gift of the
perfect hickey.
Some students have a somewhat
controversial theory. They believe
that the hickey is not actually a
hickey, but actually a rash that de -
veloped after consumption of food
from Bon Appétit’s masterwork
kitchen. If this is the case, we should
be expecting to see many more hick -
ies that are similar – perhaps Da
Vinci’s The Last Supper or maybe
Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.
Bon Appétit has not responded to
these claims.
It was obvious that whoever (or
whatever) bestowed this work of art
upon this lucky freshman took their
time to make it absolutely perfect.
The night of passion that led to this
glorious rendition of the beautiful
classic must have been long and
grueling, but it was worth it.
The brilliant shading of the piece
suggests that the artist had gone
over multiple times with their mas -
terful technique. The minute de -
tails that are present in the hickey
imply some sort of tongue and/or
heavy sucking action. The patience
and pain tolerance that this young
student possesses must be that of
legends.
No one may know the true story
about this hickey, but there is one
thing we do know: no matter who or
what gave this freshman the hickey,
it is a gift and we should not take it
for granted. MAYA WINSHELL/PIONEER LOG
