Lewis & Clark College: Pioneer Log / Mossy Log

By PAIGE ANDERSON
THE DEPARTMENT of
Transportation & Parking is citing
more vehicles for parking violations
than any year in the recent past.
Although many students, staff and
faculty are frustrated with parking
availability, Lewis & Clark still wishes
to maintain access to multiple forms of
transportation that are more eco-friendly.
Gabriel Montez, the transportation and
parking service manager at LC, manages
all of the parking and shuttle services, such
as the Pioneer Express, TriMet transit, hop cards and transport schedules.
In 2021, LC distributed the
most parking citations since 2018,
approximately 3,900 citations, nearly
double the amount they gave in the 2019-
20 school year according to department
statistics. Of those tickets, 77 citations

been extended until Dec.15, and provides

TEMPLETON Student Center,
which will be renamed
Stephanie J. Fowler Student
Center, has been under construction
since December 2021, and other
capital projects have started over the
summer.
In the coming months, Templeton
will be opening in phases. The first
phase, which includes the Trail
Room, coffee bar and market has
already been mostly completed.
There are still issues with the rollout,
but many of the services are now
open with limited hours which will
be expanded.
The second phase, which includes
much of the first floor and club
offices, is planned to open Oct. 7.
Workers started placing furniture in
this section of the building on Sept.
28. The rest of Templeton is expected
to be largely operational by the
beginning of spring semester 2023.
One of the main sections of
Templeton under construction was
the beloved Trail Room. The Bon
Appétit management mentioned the
challenge for students when only
Fields Dining Hall was open. According to Bon Appétit
management they had a very large
volume through the cafe. While the
lines looked longer, the actual wait
was shorter than it has been. The
meal hours were also expanded to
accommodate larger class sizes.
The Trail Room opened earlier
this month. Its updated design
features a brand-new ordering
system, grab-and-go snacks and a
coffee bar.
Future plans for the Trail Room
include late hours, alcohol service
Tuesday through Saturday and the
opportunity to schedule events in the
space.
This project will have many new
additions, including study spaces,
expanded dining options and
space for more student-led events.
However, it has also displaced a large
number of important offices that are
frequently used by students, such as
the mail room.
The mail room is now permanently
located in McAfee, which shares a
parking lot with Holmes Hall and is
near the now defunct Maggie’s Cafe.
Mail Services Manager Stephanie
Takashima said there was discomfort
in the change. “We definitely felt very displaced,”
Takashima said. “It’s been very busy,
but we are getting acclimated and
finding our roots.”
Despite some difficulties with
moving to the new building,
Takashima feels very optimistic
about the future of the mail room.
“It’s been challenging, but good. I
greatly appreciate that I was able to
have input in how the space is going
to be designed,” Takashima said.
“It’s a lot to map out, but I’m looking
forward to having everything placed
and organized, because you have to
be organized back here. I want it to
flow well, and I want the students to
be happy.”
Other offices, including those of
many student organizations, that
were displaced by construction will
likely be moved back into Templeton
in the coming months.
This construction project is the
result of architectural planning and
in-depth conversations with students
and the Lewis & Clark community
at large. Assistant Dean of Student
Engagement Rocky Campbell has
played a key role in the remodel.

This weeks episode delves into some
of the complexities and struggles that
come with being a college student.

By VENUS EDLIN
JEWISH MEMBERS OF the Lewis
& Clark community celebrated
Rosh Hashanah, the new year
and one of the High Holy Days, from
the evening of Sept. 25 until Sept. 27.
To commemorate the holiday,
Chaplain & Director of Spiritual Life
Hilary Martin Himan sent a message
to students through the Sept. 26
edition of the Bark. According to
Himan, 20% of the student body
identifies as Jewish.
“L’Shana Tova!, or, Happy New
Year!,” Himan wrote. “Last night
at sundown our Jewish community
began the High Holy Days with Rosh
Hashanah.”
According to Himan, on Sept.
27 PDX Hillel’s new Social Justice
Fellow and LC’s Jewish Student
Life Coordinator Maddie Herrup
led a conversation discussing what
meaningful Teshuvah looks like as a
means for social change.
Alaryx Tenzer ’23 was one of the
students who celebrated this year and
views Rosh Hashanah as a thoughtful
and introspective time. The holiday
is the beginning of the 10 days of
penitence that ends with Yom Kippur.
“Being the new year, there is a
definite sense of renewal, and it’s
celebratory,” Tenzer said via email.
“This year, I streamed services from
my synagogue on the East coast, and
hosted a brief family zoom with my
father’s side of the family, where we
did some blessings and caught up
with each other. It can be lonely being
the only one on the West coast, so it
was nice to connect on a holiday that’s meant to be
joyous!”
For Tenzer,
one of the
most important
parts of Rosh
Hashanah is
watching his
grandfather read
the Haftarah every
year.
“Last year, they
recorded him from his
home, but this year he
had just gotten a booster
shot so was able to go in
person again,” Tenzer
said. “He just turned 90
RQ6LQFHKHOLYHG
part of his childhood
in a Siberian
concentration camp,
there’s so much
history of people
wanting to stop his
Jewish practice; and I’m so proud
of him for sticking with it.”
Family is also important for Lily
Schaffer ’23 this time of year. Schaffer
streamed a service from her home
synagogue, but still felt homesick.
“Every year around Rosh
Hashanah, I get extremely homesick,”
Schaffer said. “I’m just sad because I
know that my family is all together
eating a huge meal, being together for
the new year and I’m up here alone. If
I want that big meal, I have to cook it
myself and I have to clean it all.”
Emma Greenberg ’23 relates to the
importance placed on family during
the holiday.
“Growing up it was one of rare days where my family was
all together without having to do
anything else or be anywhere (besides
temple),” Greenberg said via email. “I
didn’t do much to celebrate this year
except for my boyfriend (who isn’t
Jewish) surprised me with apples and
honey and the sweetest card when I
got home. It really meant a lot to me.”
Emma Greenberg ’23 relates to the
importance placed on family during the
holiday.
“Growing up it was one of rare
days where my family was all together
without having to do anything else or be anywhere
(besides
temple),”
Greenberg
said via
email. “I
didn’t do
much to
celebrate
this year
except for
my boyfriend
(who isn’t
Jewish) surprised
me with apples
and honey and the
sweetest card
when
I got
home.
It really
meant
a lot to
me.”
Eating apples with honey
is meant to signify a sweet, hopeful
new year. While this is the most
common tradition, other practices are
often incorporated. Eliana Essman ’25,
who spent the holiday this year eating
challah bread and matzo ball soup,
recalled her favorite tradition.
“My favorite Rosh Hashanah
tradition growing up was doing Tashlich,
a symbolic ceremony where you throw bread into a body of water, at the beach
with my family,” Essman said via email.
Unlike many Christian holidays,
class is still held on the Jewish High Holy
Days. However, LC has a policy where
students can observe these holidays with
no penalty.
“Going to work and school today felt
¿QHWRPH´*UHHQEHUJVDLG³,WKLQN/&¶V
no penalty policy for religious holidays is
actually one of their better ones. I know
I could have gotten time off from class
and work but it totally slipped my mind
to do so.”
Tenzer agreed that LC’s policy is
a good policy, especially compared to
other schools, though they wished this
information was communicated earlier.
This year Tenzer is taking one day off
during Rosh Hashanah, as well as for
Yom Kippur which begins at sunset
RQ2FW+HZRXOGOLNHWRWDNHPRUH
days off, but is worried about being
overwhelmed by work.
“However, despite permission to
miss class, there is still the expectation
to complete the related work,” Tenzer
said. “Since a Jew is told not to work
on the high holidays, I’m feeling a little
overwhelmed with the need to catch up.”
Schaffer also feels the tension in
making this decision.
“We have to choose between what
I would like to do to feel connected to
my religion and not feel as homesick
or go to class and still be upset that I’m
homesick,” Schaffer said.
According to Schaffer, even with the
no-penalty policy, it is not equitable to
have class on Jewish holidays because it
inconveniences Jewish students.

Steve Fund selects LC for mental health program
New initiative prioritizes equity, support for BIPOC students, headed by IME Director Joann Zhang
By VENUS EDLIN
THE STEVE FUND has selected
Lewis & Clark for the 2022
Equity in Mental Health on
Campus (EMHC) Initiative, a program
that focuses on supporting the mental
health of students of color.
7KH SURJUDP ZLOO NLFN R̆ WKLV
October and run through March 2024.
Its ultimate goal will be to complete
a needs assessment of LC in order to
determine concrete recommendations
for administrators to consider
implementing. Former Associate Dean
of Students for Health & Wellness John
Hancock inquired about EMHC in April
2022.
Director of Inclusion & Multicultural
Engagement Joann Zhang is the head
of the initiative’s steering committee DQG ¿QGV WKLV SURJUDP FULWLFDO LQ
supporting students.
“I hope this initiative will help
us learn more about the experiences
of students of color and how we can
begin to normalize mental health
support, expectations, healthy ways
of navigating stress and be liberated
from past traumas,” Zhang said via
email. “Getting mental health support
is essential especially as our country
becomes what feels so divided.”
Hancock, Zhang, Sam Flores ’23,
and Director of Clinical Services and
Acting Director of Counseling Services
Robin Keillor completed the application
this spring. According to EMHC
Program Manager Alyssa Aloyo, LC had
a strong application.
“We look for schools that have
demonstrated a commitment to prioritizing the mental health of
their students,” Aloyo said. “This
FRPPLWPHQW ORRNV GL̆HUHQW DW HYHU\
campus, but ultimately, we have to be
sure that there is an investment at all
levels from the campus leadership and
community.”
In addition to providing a needs
assessment, the Steve Fund will also
provide a campus coach for one-on-
one support and conduct Learning
Community meetings where LC
will meet with up to 12 other cohort
institutions. According to Keillor, this
unique structure was part of what drew
them to apply for this project.
“Sometimes we with all good
intentions will launch into campus
assessments, more insular, just
do it ourselves or maybe with one
consultant,” Keillor said. “I like this because it’s with multiple campuses and
multiple consultants and as a result,
then we can learn from each other.”

However, this program is not

color, so being cognizant of possible
generational trauma is important to the
approach Zhang wishes to take.
“I recognize trust will not be gained
in one setting or even two and that
is okay,” Zhang said. “My hope is
that students of color are still willing
to take things at their pace and will
feel empowered to share their truth
whenever that may be.”
Part of why the Steve Fund was
founded was to increase access to
mental health services given historical
inequities, which also informs the
EMHC structure.
“Each... committee is required
to have students represented - it is
critical to have student voices in this
process!” Aloyo said. “The Steve Fund
recognizes the history of inequitable
data collection and reporting, so
we work diligently with the campus
coaches and steering committees to
ensure the new and critical solutions
meet the needs of students of color and
are equitable and innovative models to
continue the work after the conclusion
of the initiative.”
Additionally, the EMHC initiative is
not just focused on traditional mental
health services, but also on the broader
factors that contribute to mental health
and wellness.“What I like about the Steve Fund
DQG WKLV LQLWLDWLYH VSHFL¿FDOO\ LV LW¶V
about recognizing the importance
of addressing mental health as a
community or it as a campus,” Keillor
said. “Because it’s not all about ‘let’s get
to see a mental health professional.’”
According to Zhang, some programs
at LC already focus on this type of
approach.
“A program I’d love to give a
shoutout to is the Counseling Center’s
“The Let Out” hosted by Mental Health
Counselor and BIPOC Outreach
Coordinator, Christabel Léonce,”
Zhang said. “Christabel hosts informal
conversations in the IME suite with
our BIPOC students to simply ‘let it
out’ with a mental health professional.
This gives our students of color an
opportunity to talk about life challenges
in a non-therapy setting.”
The Steve Fund and the steering
committee are looking forward to seeing

New commons to replace Corbett Circle this November
Heart of graduate campus’ new design includes places for students to socialize, study, relax outdoors
By ROSALIE ZUCKERMANN
THE CORBETT Circle on the
graduate campus is scheduled
to be revamped into the Grad
Commons starting in November.
Facilities Administrator David
Ernevad and Graduate School Dean
Scott Fletcher have worked with a
team of collaborators to bring the
plan to life. Ernevad primarily handles
logistical details such as procurement,
contracting and scheduling, whereas
Fletcher focuses on planning and
design.
“The new commons area
will help unify the
campus and will
act as a welcoming
gathering area for
students, faculty,
DQGVWD̆´(UQHYDG
said via email.
“It is designed
DURXQG WKH ÀRZ
of pedestrian
WUḊFWRWKHJUDG
campus’ various
buildings, as
well as areas for community members to
interact informally.”
The Grad Commons will consist
of multiple outdoor gathering
spaces and improved landscaping.
The Kalapuya Commons located in
the York Graduate Center already
exists as an indoor space for
students to study, socialize and
eat at the Food for Thought Cafe.
An outdoor commons will allow
students to have the option of
convening in the fresh air. The new
commons will also incorporate the
surrounding buildings including
York Graduate Center.Some of the new features include
concrete walkways, paved gathering
areas, grass turf, meadow areas,
benches, lighting, trees and storm
drainage swales. The drainage
swales, which will reduce runoff and
act as a natural filtration surface for
water, are part of an initiative to
make LC more sustainable.
Although the project is expected
to be complete in early November,
according to organizers the full
effect of the construction will be
appreciated this spring and summer
when the newly planted trees and
shrubs will have had a
chance to grow and
bloom.
“Dean Fletcher
has championed
the installation
of a new Grad
Commons as a
key development
in the history
and operation of
Graduate School.”
Ernevad said. “It
is also rooted in
the College’s Master Plan as the
southernmost point of a ‘spine’
that unites the three schools.
The commons will be the new
“front door” to the grad campus
and is designed to be a welcoming
gathering place for students, faculty,
and staff.”
The 2019 Campus Facilities
Master Plan accessible on the LC
website outlines the short and long-
term visions for all intended updates
and improvements to all three of
the campuses.
“The plan introduces a new
signature plaza within the existing Corbett House courtyard to improve
the sense of arrival to the Graduate
School campus, while a new 80-space
surface parking lot provides needed
parking capacity,” the Master Plan
states.
Three years after the completion
of the Master Plan, this new parking
lot has been completed and the
Grad Commons (referred to as a
signature plaza) is scheduled to be
¿QLVKHGLQ1RYHPEHU7KLVLVSDUWRIDODUJHURQJRLQJH̆RUWWREULQJWKUHH
interconnected campuses into the
future of liberal arts education.
Like the construction projects
on the undergraduate campus, once
the Grad Commons are completed,
Ernevad and Fletcher hope they will
have a lasting effect on unifying and
enhancing the community culture of
the Graduate School. However, in
the short term, access to the Corbett
Circle will be restricted and fenced in and some noise from construction
vehicles will be audible.
“The commons reflects the
Graduate School’s commitment
to community, collaboration, and
collegiality as key values.” Ernevad
said.
Despite minor inconveniences
due to construction, Ernevad and
Fletcher are confident that this
project will vastly improve the
Graduate School.

After renovation, Corbett Circle will be transformed into multiple gathering spaces interspersed with vegetation and bench es.By JILLIAN JACKSON
IN THE THREE weeks since Queen
Elizabeth II’s death on Sept. 8,
the Lewis & Clark community
is divided on whether to grieve or criticize the late head of state. The
queen, who assumed the throne 70
years ago, was the longest-reigning
monarch that Britain has ever had.
While the monarchy has long
prepared for the 96-year-old’s passing, David Campion, Dr. Robert
B. Pamplin Jr. associate professor of
history, said that it has nonetheless
left people reeling.
“In many ways, it’s the passing
of an era, and of that constancy she personally provided,” Campion said.
Now that this pillar of stability
is gone, Campion predicts that
some countries might leave the
Commonwealth, a network of mostly
former British colonies symbolically
led by the monarch.
“The colonial history of a place
like Jamaica and Barbados is
inextricably linked with economic
exploitation — in the case of
Barbados, the slave trade,” Campion
said. “Although (people from these
countries) might have been critical
of the institution of the monarchy
— and certainly of the unaccounted
for, rather dark chapters in British
colonial history — now that the
queen is gone, I don’t think Charles
commands quite the same affection
and respect.”
Here on Palatine Hill, the queen’s
death is a catalyst for conversations
about who the community holds
accountable for colonialism — and
why.
Bella Met ’23 is wrestling with
what Queen Elizabeth means to her
“very British” family.
“England is very much like the
United States, where people have
not been taught their history, and
they’ve been given propaganda about
what the monarchy is,” Met said.
Met, whose uncle is Welsh, has
no qualms about calling the queen
a colonizer. She does, however,
struggle with what she sees as a
lack of empathy toward those in
mourning. “It takes conversation to change
mindsets, and if you’re immediately
screaming at someone, ‘You’re
mourning an imperialist! You’re
such a bad person!’ Then you’re not
able to have those conversations,”
Met said.
Currently abroad in London,
England, Kit Graf ’24 is navigating
these conversations with those in the
country.
“Someone asked the tour guide of
our trip (to the Scottish Highlands)
how he feels about the queen dying,”
Graf said. “He said, ‘I’m not a
mourning person.’ You’re expecting
this epic thing and then you hear a
joke about it.”
Graf clarifies that while the
impact of the queen’s passing on
their study abroad experience thus
far is subtle, it is also omnipresent.
“Every street corner you walk by,
every ad space, was a picture of the
queen with the years that she lived,”
Graf said. “You would never forget
it.”
Just three days after the queen’s
passing, Graf and other LC students on
the London trip attended a service with
the Church of Scotland. According to
Graf, all the songs selected that Sunday
encouraged the congregation to seek
solace in their religious community
and in the United Kingdom’s resilience.
“The last thing we sang was the
national anthem, and we changed the
words from queen to king for ‘God Save
the King,’” Graf said. “It felt special to
be a part of that moment.” NEWS 3FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

said.
Students may be unsure of what the
FROOHJHGRHVZLWKWKH¿QHVWKH\FROOHFWfrom parking citations; these funds are
directed towards the Pio and access to
the TriMet system.
“We’re taxing individuals to drive
and putting it towards an initiative
that we think is better for the overall
community and environment, but the
narrative that the college is trying to
steal money from students is completely
false,” Montez said.
Montez is disappointed that the
shuttle options are often used just for
leisure, when they could be used for
commuting.
“We put a lot of work into where
we stop,” Montez said. “We put a lot of
work into the schedule and make sure
that it’s consistent. And we’ve put a
lot of work into modifying it, such as
adding the Sellwood route.”
According to Montez, the college is
trying to be the most environmentally
conscious it can be while still allowing
many students to park on campus.
“We pride ourselves on being a
sustainable college,” Montez said.
“We pride ourselves on having stated
sustainability goals, but I don’t feel as
if the appetite is there for a lot of folks.”
The backlash received by the
Department of Transportation &
Parking has been aggressive, with
verbally explicit notes left for Campus
Safety. Montez said he feels a lot of
entitlement within the student body
when it comes to their cars.
“A big part of my job is balancing
the expectations of students and faculty
and overall LC community with also
being empathetic and actually trying to
provide tangible solutions for folks to
get to and from campus,” Montez said.
“Just because you have a vehicle, does
not mean you’re entitled to parking.
It’s just not the way the world works
DQGVRDJDLQLW¶VDGLI¿FXOWEDODQFH´
Montez has always had positive
experiences speaking directly to
students and has found that when
challenged, students often respond
respectfully and in a productive way.
Gilbert agrees.
“I think the students are the biggest
solution to be honest with you,” Gilbert
said. “I think students really have a
good way with words, they read the
Bark, they read whatever and that’s
a good source of information coming
from students, for students.”Continued from Page 1
“When our current president,
Robin Holmes-Sullivan, came
to LC as vice president, she was
interested in speaking with students
and wanted to have a focus on the
student experience at LC,” Campbell
said. “She created something called
the ‘Student Experience Task Force’
and asked myself and my colleague
to help build a team of students,
staff, and faculty to examine the
student experience.”
In 2019, Campbell helped
run focus groups for new ideas
surrounding the student center.
“ S o m e o f t h e f o c u s g r o u p s w e r e
intentionally chosen communities at LC to make sure that their voices
were heard, and then there were
much larger town halls that anyone
could come to,” Campbell said.
With its many successes so far,
this ambitious remodeling project
has not been without its fair share of
challenges.
“There’s lots of hiccups in a
project like this,” Campbell said.
“Sometimes the smallest things
become really big challenges. I think
the world has gone through a very
dramatic change that impacts the
project in a lot of ways. There’s a lot
of construction-specific inflation,
and supply chain disruptions.
We have to create a lot of interim
solutions.”

“It would be really cool if Jewish
holidays can also be seen as the same
weight that like Christian holidays
hold,” Schaffer said. “I mean, I feel like
it’s also the same for Muslim students
where big holidays for them aren’t
recognized on the academic calendar.”
The cast of LC’s “Rent” production
also celebrated Rosh Hashanah, a
mainstage tradition that began with
last year’s “Passion Play.” According to
Mack Wille ’25, many of the “Passion
Play” cast are Jewish and paired with the
antisemitism in the second act, wanted
to take a moment to celebrate Judaism.
Though the connection to “Rent” is less
apparent, it was an important tradition
to continue. This year Emma Green ’24
and Ruby Guzman ’25 led prayer and
ate honey with their peers.
Wille’s role, Mark Cohen, is a young
Jewish man.
“The character that I play is a Jewish
Man, but that’s not like a huge part of
the show,” Wille said. “We just kind of
talked about some of the references that
are in the show that are related to that,
like there’s a reference to the High Holy
Days.”
For Wille, who grew up going to a
Catholic church, these experiences have
been a point of learning.
“This seems like a lot more love-
centered, beautiful religion than I’m

By TOR PARSONS
PORTLAND HAS its fair share
of famous residents, from Nike
founder Phil Knight to iconic
hipster bands like the Decemberists
and the Dandy Warhols. Northwest
Portland street names such as
Flanders and Lovejoy inspired the
names of characters in The Simpsons,
created by Portland native Matt
Groening. The villainous Sideshow
Bob’s rarely mentioned surname is
Terwilliger, from the street near the
Lewis & Clark campus.
However, during the month of
September, there are no Portland
residents as celebrated as the humble
Vaux Swift. These tiny birds, only 4.5 inches from wingtip to wingtip, descend
on Portland en masse in late summer as
they start out on their annual migration
from Canada down to Central America.
They take up residence by the
thousands in spaces where they can
nest vertically and regularly exit to eat
insects. They especially like chimneys,
due to the loss of hollow trees across
their region.
North America’s largest colony of
migrating swifts settles in the enormous
chimney of Chapman Elementary School
in Portland’s Northwest Alphabet District
from late August to early October. Inside,
they sleep in vertical rows of nests made
by gluing together twigs with their sticky
saliva. At dusk, the swifts, numbering
up to 30,000 at a time, come pouring out of the chimney to catch bugs in the
gathering darkness. At the end of the
night, as the stars begin to come out,
the massive clouds of swifts funnel
back into the chimney in several
waves, spiraling downward like water
sloshing down a drain.
For hundreds of Portlanders,
watching the swifts at Chapman
Elementary has become a time-
honored tradition. Local resident
Petra Alexander said the crowd that
gathered on Sept. 23 was the largest
turnout she had seen. She estimates
1,000 people were in attendance.
“I’ve been coming here for at
least 15 years, I think,” Alexander
said. “This (crowd) had definitely
reached crazy levels.” The swift-watching crowd is
multiethnic and multigenerational.
Grandparents, young couples with
infants, teenagers and everybody in
between spread out picnic blankets
and folding chairs on the hillside
of Wallace City Park overlooking
the historic school building. Nearly
everybody brought a picnic dinner,
a few people strummed guitars and
dozens of children slid down the
grassy hill on makeshift cardboard
sleds.
Not every attendee was a longtime
Portlander. Yulia Shipulina, a
Ukrainian-American charity worker
with Lutheran Community Services
Northwest, brought 14 Ukrainian and
Russian refugees to see the swifts.
Their picnic table was adorned with
blue and yellow balloons.
“We wanted to have this gathering
and invite them to see this tradition
of Portland,” Shipulina said. “We’re
sharing our feelings, worries, (and)
updates about life. I’ve lived in
Portland for five years, and I thought,
hey, it’s a Portland tradition to gather
over here to watch the swifts, so it
would be a great thing to show the
newcomers.”
The first flock of swifts appeared
around 6:30 p.m. and a hush fell
over the crowd as if the lights had
just gone down in a theater. They
formed shapes in the air that seemed
almost solid, moving like a single
organism rather than thousands of
tiny, chirping birds. It felt halfway
between watching a ballet and
watching the aurora borealis.
What makes the occasion all the
more theatrical is the appearance of
a villain: a local Cooper’s hawk who often attempts to snatch swifts out of
midair. To some, this is the highlight
of the night.
“I like the hawk,” said eleven-
year-old Ellie Hardigg said, who has
been taken to see the swifts nearly
every September since she was one
year old. “We’re on Team Hawk,”
Alexander said, when asked to name
her favorite part of the event.
Others use the swifts as a business
opportunity. Seven-year-old Maren,
who declined to give her last name,
has set up a stand across the street
from Wallace City Park where she
sells home-baked brownies and cans
of LaCroix soda for one dollar. She
estimates she makes $75 per night.
According to the Oregon
Audubon Society, which publishes
estimates of the number of swifts
at Chapman School per night, the
swift count tends to peak around
Sept. 20, but thousands of swifts
remain through the first week of
October. The annual number of
swifts has stayed roughly constant
since the Audubon Society began
counting in 2009, which they
attribute to community members’
tireless advocacy for the birds.
For instance, in 2003 several
local charities raised money
for Chapman School to get a
heating system that insulated the
chimney, keeping both the swifts
and the students at a comfortable
temperature.
The swifts have been coming
to Chapman School since at least
the 1980s, and Portland’s favorite
birds should grace the skies over
the Northwest District for many
more Septembers to come.

FSU begins initiative to ensure
safety at off-campus events, shows
By J FRANK
F EMINIST S t u d e n t U n i o n
(FSU) president Caroline Arnis
played a key role in bringing
Sexual Assualt Peer Advocatesto
house shows.
It all started in the fall of 2021.
After over a year of COVID-19
lockdown and a dormant party scene
at LC, students were eager to return
to social events. After a year of
lockdown, Arnis noticed a palpable
change in the music scene and its
culture of attendance.
House shows, open to non-LC
students are often farther from
campus became more popular, as
a handful of venues cropped up
which accommodated a crowd of a
few hundred people. There has also
been a considerable turnover in
student attendants, since incoming
first-years are coming out of the
pandemic. Because they completed
their junior and senior years of high
school in isolation, they missed two
years of socialization at a critical
point of development.
Many had missed a formative time
to experiment with sex, substances
and the social dynamics of parties.
From Arnis’ perspective, “they felt
like they were making up for lost
time,” but did not have experience in
practicing safe habits.
LC students, many underage,
drank beyond their limit with no
good way to get home and no friends
to rely on, all potential factors
in sexual assault. This situation
finally reached a tipping point on
Halloween weekend, which was when
Arnis decided to find a better way
to provide resources and promote
student safety at shows.
FSU already had SAPAs, students
trained to talk to and support
those who have experienced sexual
assault. Arnis added that many
SAPAs are themselves sexual assault
survivors who are interested in being
an empathetic and understanding
listener for others. However, during
COVID, students found SAPA’s
more difficult to access: the team were forced to move from their
office in lower Templeton to a less
accessible location under the chapel,
and for a time, they only offered
online appointments. Looking for
a more effective way to operate,
Arnis sought to establish a presence
at house shows. They hoped SAPAs
could help prevent sexual assault
and provide immediate support for
students in unsafe situations.
T h e g r o u p h a p p e n e d t o h a v e a
connection with members of popular
LC band Mr. Beautiful. Arnis reached
out and asked if the FSU could come
to their next show in an official
capacity, to which Mr. Beautiful
“enthusiastically agreed.”
From there FSU established
contact with an expanding web of
connections within the school’s
music scene, and began to show up
at DJ events, house parties and more
house shows – wherever students
went to party, the FSU would follow.
Arnis emphasized how vital Mr.
Beautiful’s initial support was, as
well as all the community members
who continued to welcome them to
events.
SAPAs’ presence at house shows
still operates primarily on the basis
of connections and word-of-mouth.
Students can also submit events they
think FSU should attend through a
google form that is linked in FSU’s
Instagram bio. At events, one or two
SAPAs (depending on the event size)
remain available at a table set up
somewhere unobtrusive in the back,
while one or two more mingle in the
crowd. Arnis explains that the table
provides an easy-to-find landmark,
while attendees can approach a SAPA
in the crowd more subtly if they are
uncomfortable being seen walking
to the table. For the same reason,
SAPAs do not wear uniforms, instead
posting a photo on instagram of the
SAPAs present at the event.
“We thought about wearing T-shirts,”
Arnis said. “But we didn’t want that to
come across like we were there to spy or
police.”
In general, FSU strives to make its
presence as unobtrusive as possible. “We’re not trying to stop people
from having fun,” Arnis said.
The group’s ethos is to center
marginalized people and those who
have experienced/are victims of
sexual assault, which came across
during my talk with Caroline. When
asked if they ever felt unsafe in this
role, they said they often do not
prioritize their own sa0fety because
despite identifying as non-binary,
they are aware of their privilege as
a white, femme person. They also
emphasized that the role of SAPAs
is not to act as security, but rather
to focus on supporting victims. To
that end, they show up 45 minutes to
an hour early and have a discussion
with the organizers, which includes
establishing who they can contact if
they encounter someone who needs
to be removed or even just talked to,
this normally means official event
security or hosts who are staying
sober and capable of managing
potentially dangerous situations.
“We’re never looking to start a
dialogue with the person causing
worries, even if they’re not actively
causing harm,” Arnis said.
Arnis has noticed a shift in culture
since FSU has established a presence
at house shows. They described
last year as a test run which proved
overwhelmingly successful. While
they can not positively affirm that
sexual assault has decreased, since
sexual assault goes extremely
underreported, they feel that “having
us there provides this energy which
stimulates a culture of community”.
Ultimately, a night goes well if
the SAPAs do not have to take any
action. The cultural shift occurring
is a large-scale effect of their
continued effort to listen to and
support victims and anyone in a
vulnerable or unsafe situation.
“People are more aware of each
other and the space they occupy,
and there is a new feeling of respect
and camaraderie which was lacking
this time last year,” Arnis said.
“People have dm’d us on Instagram,
saying they felt safer because we
were there.” LEO BERNSTEIN NEWMAN/ THE MOSSY LOG

Des pâtisseries amélioreront votre matinBy MO APP-SINGER
YOU HAVE HEARD of high
school yearbook superlatives.
Now, get ready for Mo App-
Singer's concert superlatives, the best
place for your non-definitive 2022
concert hot takes. From Outside Lands
to Lady Gaga, here’s the lowdown on
some of the best (and worst) shows of
the year, straight from someone who
has seen upwards of 45 live music
events so far.
Biggest Disappointment: Charli
XCX at the Crystal Ballroom
Charli XCX hopefully needs no
introduction. She is a quintessential
pop girl who gained a cult following
while making campy hyperpop with
Beyoncè collaborator A.G. Cook and
the late great SOPHIE. “How I’m
Feeling Now” is arguably one of the
best albums of 2020, and potentially
Charli’s magnum opus. Her newest
album “Crash,” on the other hand, is
less of an exciting collision and more of
a bland detour. To make it worse, the
hyperpop sensibilities are traded for
flavorless disco revival, reminiscent
of the blandest radio hits from the last
few years. The album feels tired, and
so does her set. I have heard people
praise her show as life-changing, but
I found myself smushed in the crowd
and ready to go home five songs in. It
is worth noting that Charli’s opener,
Baby Tate, was significantly better in
every way, from how she conducted
the crowd to the songs she played.
Baby Tate played all her best songs,
while Charli played “Crash” in almost
its entirety, which may have been fun
for people who liked the album more
than I did. Her lackluster visuals,
migraine-inducing strobes and limp
choreography, however, did little to
hide the fact that the music she was
singing was the most boring it has
been for years.
Biggest Surprise: Dorian Electra,
Lil Mariko and Death Tour at the
Wonder Ballroom
Dorian Electra is a flamboyant
musical genius and hyperpop-era
Charli XCX collaborator. They are
a nonbinary icon obsessed with
steampunk iconography, and have
made an entire album satirizing the
culture of online “incels,” or men who
claim to be involuntarily celebate
at the hands of women they wish to
date. I saw them play at the Wonder
Ballroom earlier this year alongside
sugary-sweet scream rapper Lil
Mariko and metal band Death Tour.
I was expecting a good time, but
Dorian delivered more than I ever
expected. Everyone seemed to be
dancing, screaming and singing along
the entire night. Death Tour’s raucous
performance of “PORN!” launched
mosh pits. Lil Mariko screamed
“Where’s My Juul,” and even those
without a nicotine addiction sang
along. Dorian closed out the night
with “Career Boy,” a song about
capitalism that even my mother loves.
I also got the final page of Dorian’s
setlist. It was a night to remember, to
say the least.
Coolest Lead Singer of an Indie
Rock Band: Spencer Peppet of The
Ophelias (Volcanic Theater Pub)
Small venues such as Bend,
Oregon’s Volcanic Theater Pub (VTP) are the backbone of my concert-going
experience. I saw The Ophelias at
VTP when they opened for the Bad
Bad Hats in late May, and instantly
became obsessed with their work.
The band’s wistful indie pop was
complemented by the intimate feel of
the venue, as I bought merch directly
from lead singer Spencer Peppet who
later read my poetry over Instagram
direct messages. Regarding the band’s
music, I recommend “General Electric,”
“Crocus” and “Moon Like Sour Candy,”
which are all great introductions to
their dreamlike sound. Check them
out and buy their music on services
like Bandcamp, as it is the best way to
support their amazing work.
Best Kandi Recipient: Laura Les
of 100 gecs (Outside Lands, at
the Binging with Babish Culinary
set)
Laura Les can do it all, whether that
is splitting your eardrums or cooking
chili frito pie at Outside Lands, an
annual music and culinary festival in
San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. She
is a member of the hyperpop duo 100
gecs. Her pitched-up wails on songs
such as “Money Machine” (alongside
Brady) and “Haunted” (a former
solo deep cut that was launched into
fame through HBO’s “Euphoria”) are
enjoyed by her dedicated fanbase.
A lot of her discography, including
the stellar extended play “hello kitty
skates to the fuckin CEMETARY,”
are only available on Bandcamp or
YouTube. Regardless, I implore you
to give her music a listen if you enjoy
brain-tickling noise.
At Outside Lands, she and Brady
were featured on the festival’s unique “Gastromagic” stage, where famous
chefs join billed artists in cooking
food for the eager audience. When
it came time for the gecs to take the
stage, they were accompanied by an
equally online chef, Andrew Rea of
the YouTube channel Babish Culinary
Universe (formerly Binging with
Babish.) Rea is known for his offbeat
charisma and real-life versions of
fictional food. I handed Laura two
pony bead bracelets from across the
barricade as she handed out chili
cheese frito pie. She put them on,
and the unbiased journalist in me
combusted while a squealing fangirl
rose from the ashes. She and
Brady also played a fantastically noisy
set later that day, which I was at the
barricade for. It was a euphoric day
for me as a huge fan of her solo work
and 100 gecs in general.
Best Festival with the Worst
Press: Coachella
Despite the negative press the
Indio, Calif. festival received this
year, I will defend my experience
there with my whole chest. Maybe it is only because I did not have to wait
for the Revolve Fest shuttle line or
get trampled by influencers trying
to make a TikTok during Weekend
One, but Coachella Weekend Two
was nothing like the experience I saw
documented online. It was the most
fun I think I have ever had, and there
were almost too many moments that
exemplified that feeling. There was
Kim Petras’ danceable rendition of
“Coconuts.” Baby Keem brought his
uncle Kendrick Lamar onstage for
"Family Ties," and Karol G performed
an emotional love letter to modern
South American and Latin music.
100 gecs were able to complete their
set despite being cut off halfway
through their biggest hit the weekend
before. Doja Cat performed a rock
switch up of “Say So” on the main
stage, and Belarus’s Molchat Doma
played “Sudno”' in a packed rave tent.
Coachella was a delight. So unless
your critique of Coachella surrounds
the festival’s contamination of
drinking water that has affected
migrant workers, or bringing up the
poor business practices (and bigotry) of Goldenvoice, I will stand by my
assertion that you clearly did not go to
the desert for Weekend Two.
Best Concert of the Year: Lady
Gaga at Dodger Stadium
What more can I say about Lady
Gaga that has not already been said?
She is an icon and a visionary. She
made the masterpiece that is ARTPOP
and tragically did not play a single
song from it on the Chromatica
Ball tour. Her costume changes and
backup dancers were extravagant. She
made me cry when she played “Born
This Way” cabaret-style on piano,
before triumphantly switching to the
dance pop version halfway through.
Everything about her performance
was carefully calculated, including
the wristbands given to the audience
that colorfully lit up to the beat of the
music. The light show was a spectacle
considering the size of the stadium.
There is not much to praise Gaga for
that is not already in print, but her
show was the best I have seen this
year, and as evidenced by this article,
I have seen a lot of live music so far.FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

BEYONCÉ released her seventh
studio album, “Renaissance,”
on July 29 to an expectedly
excited audience. Known for her
high energy pop hits and incredible
vocals, Beyoncé has once again
crafted a masterful line up of
both danceable and soulful songs
that is best listened to in order.
Beyoncé expertly crafts a narrative
which appeals to a large variety of
people going through different life
experiences. Songs like “PLASTIC
OFF THE SOFA,” “VIRGOS
GROOVE” and “PURE/HONEY”
speak to love both new and familiar.
“VIRGOS GROOVE” in particular
explores the duality of love, both
yearning to better understand the
subject of her infatuation while
also desiring him physically. This
is contrasted by songs like “BREAK
MY SOUL,” “MOVE” and “HEATED”
which empower independence
and support through friendship.
Beyoncé provides a nuanced listening
experience that not only provides
good music to dance to, but also a
variety of embodied experiences that
allows the listener to find power in a
number of different lived experiences.
When listened to sequentially,
the full narrative is understood,
from love to loss to love renewed.
Songs like “THIQUE” ring
particularly true for me. Lines like
“girl look at your body” and “that’s
that jelly” embody confidence in
bodies beyond the beauty standard. While Beyoncé fits firmly within
the body standard of today’s
Black society she still manages
to provide an anthem for anyone
experiencing body insecurities. It
tells the listener that they should
revel in their real body, which is a
shining light in the darkness of vapid
internet expectations of beauty. She
creates a sense of celebration that
makes me just want to jump on a
table and shake everything I got.
Taking inspiration from house
music, Beyoncé pays homage to
the culture that has helped shape
her career for over two decades.
“HEATED” uses phrases like “ten
ten ten across the board” and
“give me face face face face” to
exemplify the creative influence
ballroom has had on Black pop
music while also solidifying itself in
playlists for balls across America.
Later in the song Beyoncé
references her Uncle Johnny in
the line “Uncle Johnny made my
dress.” While this comment might
be lost on those who only listen to
the album in clubs or on their drive
to work, this is actually a reference
to Beyoncé’s older cousin who died
of AIDS when she was 17. Beyoncé’s
mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, wrote
about this on Instagram saying
“they took it so hard.” Uncle Johnny
was known for loving house music
and was directly involved in raising
Beyoncé and her sister Solange.
This album pays tribute to that love,
functioning as a pseudo-love letter
to her family member who has died. While Beyoncé is not openly queer
herself, she has been an icon for
self love and acceptance, appealing
to a broadly queer audience.
However, I would be remiss
to not understand the context in
which this album finds itself. In
her song “ENERGY” (feat. Beam),
Beyoncé says “only double lines we
cross is dollar signs,” referencing
her support for boycotts. However,
she had recently come under
fire for hosting a party at the
Chateau Marmont during a boycott
stemming from workplace toxicity.
Furthermore in her song “BREAK
MY SOUL,” she says “work by nine,
then off past five, they work my
nerves, that’s why I can’t sleep at
night.” This comment can seem a bit
empty when one looks at the wealth
Beyoncé has amassed in addition to
the fact that poverty is an abstract
concept to her, being that her father
was wealthy before Beyoncé was
successful. This is not to say that
her success is not well deserved
by any means. Instead, it begs the
question: Should Beyoncé be doing
more with her vast amounts of wealth
and influence? Is it important for
her to practice what she preaches?
Or is the music designed simply to
be relatable, a symbol of the ideas
already upheld by a community
who need someone to connect with?
While I do not have the answers
to these questions, I believe they are
important ones to ask when trying
to understand the legacy and impact
of these larger than life figures.FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

THE PORTLAND Zine Symposium
is an annual event celebrating
zines and printmaking that has
been running every summer since 2001.
This year, it took place on Sept. 17 and
18 at Portland State University (PSU).
During the two days, printmakers,
illustrators, storytellers and poets from
all walks of life congregated in the
Smith Ballroom at PSU to celebrate the
medium of zines. Zines are small printed
or hand-drawn booklets containing
anything from poetry to photography.
These creations are a staple of the
do-it-yourself (DIY) scene, which is
alive and thriving in the City of Roses.
Historically, zines have been a tool
of social connection for outcasts, punks,
artists and leftists. These small books
spread ideas, photography, poetry,
youth culture and information about
venues far and wide for the cheap cost
of printing a few hundred copies. Zines
can be about anything from anarchist
revolution to pickling artichokes.
They can contain photographs,

Art creating work full of feral queer
energy. I saw all sorts of printed goods,
and left with business cards galore.
Jordan Paddock, a photographer
and zine maker whose table was set
up right by the entrance, explained the
creative process that motivates him.
“It’s just as important for the
ultimate physical medium that people
are going to interact with, to be just
as much (a part) of an art piece as
the images themselves,” Paddock
said. “And what that means to me is
having a super high-quality feel to it.”
Additionally, Megan Delyani is a
professional writer by day, and zine
maker by passion. When asked about
her advice for those just getting started
with zine making she explained…
“Don’t be scared to put yourself out
there,” Delyani said. “You have to make
bad art before you can make good art, and
it’s really just practice makes perfect.”
Zine making is a broad medium,
and this event showcased that
diversity. If you are interested in zine
making, or even if you’re apprehensive
about the medium, check out the
symposium next year. At the very
least, you’ll leave with a renewed
sense of what makes Portland special.

work at PSU symposiumPortland Institute of Contemporary
Art hosts Time Based Art Festival
By CORR yN PETTINGILL
EVERY YEAR i n S e p t e m b e r ,
the Portland Institute of
Contemporary Art (PICA) hosts
the Time Based Art Festival (TBA).
The festival’s goal is to appreciate
modern artists and to display pieces
that revolve around the themes of
time, and what it means to live in
today’s society. TBA uplifts artists
who thrive on making contemporary
art and pushing the boundaries
and their abilities, reforming
expectations as to what we see in art.
Contemporary art is defined by being
made in the twenty-first century, but
is also created for the idea rather than
the aesthetic.
The TBA festival has been praised
for being one of the best festivals
for contemporary performance art,
and shows a wide range of diverse
performances such as dancing,
singing, culinary experiences and
drag shows. Beginning in 2003, the
events welcome everyone regardless
of background or knowledge of art to
experience and support their fellow
artists. The events scattered at a variety
of different venues spread across
Portland lasted from Sept. 8 to Sept.
18, and offered audiences for artists
from all around the world. While
select events were free, most range
between $10 and $30 for entry,
but can rise up to $500 for VIP and
exclusive access.
One of the first performances
presented was “NOTHINGBEING,”
a three-person dance choreographed
by Takahiro Yamamoto that explored
themes of transformation of the
self, not-feeling and surrendering
to the existence of life. The three
performers moved in and out of
unison, contorting their bodies and
then separating to different parts of
the floor, using props for sounds or
emphasis of emotions.
Each viewer might have a different
viewing experience by focusing on
different dancers at separate times
and connecting with their behavior
in unique ways. The three figures
expressed feelings of pain and
suffering by writhing on the floor,
slamming a pillow on the ground
and slamming their feet in a toddler-like tantrum. Their actions elicited
physical and emotional reactions
from the audience; the audience
jumped at some parts, laughed at
others and for a great deal of the time,
were completely silent.
Spotlights splashed their shadows
over the walls, exaggerating their
movements and arching over the crowd
dramatically. The fifty minute piece
highlighted a pain in transformation,
frustration and getting lost in one’s
own emotions before being brought
down and comforted by their friend.
The festival also included “Clown
Down 2: Clown Out of Water,” a
sequel to a previous work of famous
Portland drag queen Carla Rossi.
The performance is a part of the
Indigenous Residency Series (IRS),
and is all about climate change and
the horror of living on a distressed
planet, the IRS is a multi-year
program that included many different
artists.
Other events included showcasing
work by Sasha Wortzel, an opening
night performance by San Cha and a
presentation by UwU Collective. The
festival is planned to return next year.

the most dominant athlete of our
time. While having competed
professionally since 1995, she has won
23 Grand Slam titles, which is the most
in the Open Era and second most in the

all four major tennis championships
within the same calendar year. This
translates to 367 Grand Slam singles
matches won.
Williams grew up in Compton, Calif.
and was raised by Oracene Price and
Richard Williams along with her sister,
Venus Williams. Both of their parents
introduced them to the game of tennis
but Richard Williams, their father,
became their coach that pushed them
to excellence.
In 1999, Serena Williams won her

impressive records and pave the way
for other female athletes of color.
While all of Williams’ statistics
speak for themselves, she has also
PDGHDQLPSDFWR̆WKHFRXUW6KHKDV
broken records while experiencing
discrimination, health problems and
the birth of her daughter Olympia.
The path that Williams has paved will
allow more space for successful female
athletes that deserve the same level of
respect as their male counterparts.
Williams is the second highest-paid
female athlete in the world, behind
Naomi Osaka, and is number 31
overall. She has also used her fortune to
support other female athletes. Williams
has invested in numerous companies
owned by women to further support her
advocacy of women in sports.

Williams spoke out about the double
standard between male and female
athletes showing emotion during a
match. In the match, Williams faced

her to being penalized for expressing anger. She later said that when a
woman shows emotion she is perceived
as hysterical, but when a man does he
is seen as rational and there are no
repercussions.
Williams has also faced several
health-related issues. She has
knowingly been at risk for blood clots,
which led to complications when she
gave birth to her daughter Olympia.
Williams has recounted her near-death
experience and what it took to come
back to the sport after this incident.

she has accomplished in her career
are great on their own, but taking into
account the setbacks she has faced,
they become all the more impressive.
Williams has dominated women’s
tennis for over 27 years, and while
she just recently announced her
retirement, the legacy she has left on
not only the sport, but in the world of
athletics will carry on. By EMMA FORD
ON SEPT. 11, the Lewis &
Clark Department of Physical
Education and Athletics hosted
WKHLU¿UVWHYHUZHOFRPHEDFN&KDP3,2Q
event for student-athletes on campus.
Organized in cooperation with LC’s
sports teams and Director of Physical
Education and Athletics Mark Pietrok,
WKHHYHQWNLFNHGR̆WKHVFKRRO
year with a focus on supporting the
athletics community around campus.
Pietrok, who has been a part of LC’s
athletics department for over 34 years,
spoke highly of the event.
“We wanted students to take away
a good message, to get involved on
campus this year,” Pietrok said. “It’s
RQHRIWKHEHQH¿WVRIDVPDOOHUVFKRRO
our athletes get to be involved beyond
just their sports.”
7KH FRDFKLQJ VWD̆ ZKR RUJDQL]HG
the event had similar goals, according
to Pietrok. Building intercommunity
engagement is a theme this year.
The event also coincided with the
50 year anniversary of the passage of
Title IX, a law that criminalizes gender
discrimination in educational settings.
While athletics is not mentioned
explicitly in the text of the law, the
legislation gave women and girls the
chance to expand their inclusion in
college sports. After years of courtroom
battles, female participation in sports
has blossomed, becoming a natural
part of student life along with men’s
athletics.
“In sports, Title IX stands for
equality,” Pietrok said. “We considered
how, as a pretty important milestone, we
could acknowledge it at the beginning of
our year.”Students who attended the
afternoon event at Griswold Stadium
were addressed both by Pietrok and
President Dr. Robin Holmes-Sullivan.
After the speeches, students were divided into pods with other athletes
outside of their respective sport
and played icebreaker games before
competing against other teams in
events such as water balloon tosses.“We had a rock-paper-scissors
tournament, and a pretty good prize
for that one,” Pietrok said.
Attendees spoke highly of the
event, including football team quarterback Cruz Montana ’23.
“My favorite part about the event
was being put in a pod with athletes
from different sports who I had
never met before,” said Montana.
“I got to make friends with other
sports teams and now I have people
to root for when I watch their team’s
games.”
As the school year kicks off,
the athletic department’s focus on
community is growing.
“My hope for the athletic
community is that we continue to
get closer and support each other
by showing out at games across the
athletic department,” Montana said.
“Our football coach Joe Bushman
is trying hard to build school spirit
amongst the student body and
get people to come have fun at the
games. We know that the support
has to start within the athletics
department and I think this was a
big step in the right direction.”
“The most important thing about
being part of the athletic community
is the connections that everyone
makes with each other.” said swim
team member Elise Barton ‘26. “The
athlete event allowed me to meet so
many others that I wouldn’t have
met otherwise. For the swim team,
we see each other every day, so being
part of this team has helped me
make a lot of new friends and opened
my world to new experiences.”
With the passing of Title IX
50 years ago, athletics became
about more than technical skill
and competition. This year on LC’s
campus, our athletes are looking to
continue that legacy, and make their
collegiate sports experience better.

O1 -81( 21, the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) announced seven
cities, including Portland, that
qualified as finalists to host the
Women’s Basketball Final Four for
a 2027-2031 slot. This would be the
first time Portland has hosted this
event.
This provides a unique opportunity
for Portland to enrich its women’s
basketball scene, as the city is not
represented in any of the Women’s
National Basketball Association’s 12
teams. Becoming a host city for high-
level college athletes would therefore
be Portland’s strongest presence yet
in women’s basketball. Portland was
named a finalist for the 2025 and
2026 seasons, but ultimately failed to
secure it. Tampa, Fla. and Phoenix,
Ariz., respectively, were selected for
those years.
Site visits for each of the 2027-
2031 finalist locations began in
August, and will continue through
WKH HQG RI WKLV PRQWK 8QLYHUVLW\
of Portland would be the host site
if Portland is chosen. In November,
each finalist will give a presentation
to the Division I Women’s Basketball
Committee in Indiana. Several
organizations will be advocating for
Portland to be selected, including
Sport Oregon, the Rose Quarter,
7UDYHO 3RUWODQG WKH 8QLYHUVLW\ RI
Portland and the City of Portland.
Though Portland has never
been granted the honor of hosting
the Final Four, it does have an
established presence in NCAA
basketball. The 2019 NCAA Women’s
Basketball Regional was hosted in
Portland, and boasted some of the
highest ticket sales in the history
of the event. Before the COVID-19
pandemic halted all sporting events,
Portland was slated to host the
Regional again in 2020, and ticket
projections were even greater than
the previous year. In addition,
Portland has hosted several NCAA
Division I Men’s Basketball events, and will be hosting The Women’s
Basketball Regional in 2024 as
well as the Men’s First and Second
Rounds in 2026.
Despite having hosted fewer
events than many of the competing
cities, Portland’s past history of
hosting successful NCAA events
with high ticket sales are promising
for our chances of being chosen.
Hosting this premier event will
also benefit the local economy
and promote tourism. Every year,
the Women’s Final Four and the
associated Women’s Basketball
Coaches Association (WBCA)
Annual Convention result in an
average booking of 11,000 hotel
rooms, which will bolster areas such
as food and dining, hospitality and
many other facets of the economy.
This event could also be perfectly
timed, as the WNBA has recently
discussed expanding to one or two more cities by 2024, and Portland
was one of a dozen cities to land a
spot on the shortlist. Being selected
to host the Final Four may make
Portland a more attractive option
to house a professional-level team.
However, post-pandemic financial
instability has led the WNBA to
scramble for funding and investors,
so it is not clear at the moment
whether they will be able to follow
through with their goal and support
more franchises.
Though Portland prides itself on
being a great city for women’s sports,
with Portland Thorns FC tickets
often selling as well as Portland
Timbers tickets, its basketball scene
remains as male-dominated as
most cities. Hosting the Final Four
would help Portland to augment its
presence in women’s basketball, and
may even be an important factor in
bringing a WNBA team to the city.FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

SCOTT PISAPIA ’13 left his position at
Lewis & Clark as an assistant women’s
basketball coach last spring because
RIDQLUUHVLVWLEOHR̆HU±EHLQJDIXOOWLPH
marketing lead and founding member of
the fantasy sports app Phantasia.
Pisapia, who graduated with a degree
in communications (now rhetoric & media
studies), has always had a passion for
marketing. Though he enjoyed coaching at
LC, the job was not enough to support his
future goal of having a family.
“To be completely frank, I just wasn’t
making enough money,” Pisapia said. “I
saw a dead end for that career path.”
When he saw a website with job postings
for Web3, he was immediately interested.
He came across the Phantasia Sports job
posting which combined that interest with
his love of sports and marketing. He also
grew up playing fantasy sports.
“It felt like the perfect job,” Pisapia said.
“I was like, okay, I stumbled across this
job and (it) checks all three boxes that I’m
interested in. I applied and they got back to
PHZLWKLQDIHZKRXUVDQGLWZDVR̆WRWKH
races.”
Phantasia is a fantasy sports app
that uses blockchain technology to
payout its users’ bets. It is hosted
on the Solana blockchain and has its
own token, FANT, which is currently
worth $0.0042, or less than half of
a cent. It features both daily fantasy
contests and the more traditional
league format.
Unlike many of their competitors,
Phantasia charges zero fees to its
users. Additionally, it offers leagues

major draw for Pisapia.“I’m a real big tightwad, so I don’t
like spending money,” Pisapia said.
“I’m really frugal, but I love playing
for free so anytime there’s a free game
or if someone would invite me to their
league if it was free, I was in, but if that
cost money I was out. That’s kind of
how I was all the time growing up.”
Phantasia currently hosts fantasy
leagues across multiple professional
sports leagues, including the National
Football League, the National
Basketball Association and the
Premier League. Pisapia is rooting
for the Women’s National Basketball
Association to be added to the app.
As the marketing lead, Pisapia has
two other marketing employees under
his supervision. He has used many of
the skills he developed from coaching
to be a manager.
“We’re all in it together trying to
solve one problem,” Pisapia said. “ It
feels very similar to coaching, the only
GL̆HUHQFH,ZRXOGVD\LVPD\EHDOLWWOH
bit more collaboration and a little bit
less leading.”
Many of the other skills he uses in
KLVGD\WRGD\MREKHVDLGFRPHIURP
his experiences in his communications
classes and working on The Mossy
Log, which was The Pioneer Log at
that time. Though many of his friends at
larger colleges may have gained a wider
network, he said the networking skills
he developed at LC have made a huge
impact.
“They maybe knew more faces
on their campus, but I think I went
deeper with my relationships,” Pisapia
said. “That’s what I’m trying to do at
Phantasia. I don’t want to just scratch
the surface with the community of people that we’re trying to reach. I want
to see if I can go a little bit deeper and
make that connection.”
Additionally, Phantasia is not

after graduating called Roots Academy,
DQRQSUR¿WEDVHGLQKLVKRPHWRZQRI
Longview, Wash. The program focuses
on coaching youth across four sports,
including basketball. He plans to bring
Roots Academy to Portland later this
year.

Another experience that prepared
him for his job at Phantasia was
being hired by a friend who worked in
marketing at Nike.
Nick Robinson, who Pisapia
befriended at LC before he transferred to
Occidental College, was high up in Nike’s
marketing team when his friend Davante
Adams was drafted into the NFL.
“Nick was really high up at Nike, his
friend Davante was going to the NFL,
so they kind of came together,” Pisapia
said. “We’re doing some projects together

things like that. While I was coaching at
Lewis & Clark, Nick hired me on (at) his
company.”
Though Pisapia has left these
positions, he carries these skills forward
in his current role at Phantasia, where he
can be continually involved in several of
his passions.Former assistant coach of women’s basketball team, sports editor now apart of two successful start-upsPisapia ’13 launches fantasy sports company

Commentary: Portland Trail Blazers stuck
between past, future, must commit to rebuild
By NOAH REESE-CLAUSON
EVEN THOUGH D a m i a n L i l l a r d ,
the usual cause of watch checking
in the Moda Center, only played 29
games last season, Portland Trail Blazers
fans found themselves looking for the
time even more after his sidelining. The
Trail Blazers once again failed to choose
between rebuilding and contending and

injury prone. He missed the majority of
last season with an abdominal injury,
which he played through in the 2021
Olympic Games. This decision worsened
the injury and made him unavailable for
the team that employs him.
Additionally, Lillard signed a $122
million max extension before he could
reach free agency, making him one of the
highest earners in National Basketball
Association (NBA) history. Throughout
his career, Lillard has been praised for
his loyalty, but it is often forgotten that
loyalty in the NBA makes one eligible
for large contracts. This is not an attack
on Lillard’s character, just a reminder

addition to in their draft position. The
guard’s talent is undeniable, but at this
point he is no longer the best player on
a championship team, if he ever was,
and even if he remains healthy he stays
healthy he would fail to make the Blazers
contenders.
Still, Lillard is not the chronic
problem with this franchise. It is that

several notable moves through free
agency, trade and the draft to obtain Gary
Payton II, Jerami Grant and Shaedon
Sharpe.
Payton was excellent for the Golden
State Warriors last year, despite getting
LQMXUHGLQWKHSOD\R̆VSURYLGLQJH[FHOOHQW
GHIHQVHDQGEHLQJDQH[SORVLYH¿QLVKHU
While he is certainly a good player and a
step in the right direction for the Portland
backcourt rotation which has consistently
lacked defense throughout Lillard’s career,
his impact, particularly without an elite
facilitator, will be minimal.
Grant has been a consistent asset for
the Detroit Pistons, but failed to bring the

generously a championship third option.
When traded from the Denver Nuggets
to Detroit, Grant went from a fourth or ¿IWKRSWLRQWRDQXPEHURQHRUQXPEHU

role. Detroit decided to part with Grant
for four draft picks because he was not
on their timeline, with the rise of Cade
Cunningham and the promising young
talent around him. The Pistons moved on

and they were not winning, The Blazers
should have done the same with Lillard.

by far the most fascinating. He was the
seventh overall pick from the 2022 NBA
draft. Sharpe was a fantastic high school
player — as the number one shooting

¿QLVKLQJKLVVFKRROLQJ+HGLGQRWSOD\
a single game for Kentucky after talking
with Coach John Calipari, and the two
agreed that was the best decision for
him. Sharpe very well could be the best player in the draft, but he has not played
on a stage bigger than a high school
gym. Additionally, he is very far from
Lillard’s timeline, further indication that
the Blazers should have focused on the
future.
While Portland has improved their
defense and formed a trio of Simons,
Lillard and Grant, they have not done
nearly enough to contend in the Western
Conference. Additionally, they have
traded away several valuable picks in
favor of winning now, but not their
lottery pick for this season, injuring the
impending rebuild that they partially
committed to. The Trail Blazers not only
failed to decide between the future and
the present, they are not prepared for
either. This season, when it is getting
late in the fourth quarter and Lillard has
the ball, when someone inevitably yells
out “what time is it?” The overwhelming
response should be “time to move on.”
