Strategic Initiative Projects approved by President
BY ADRIAN GUERRERO
Staff Writer
Amidst the hubbub over VESP
and "austerity measures" such as
lay-off , there has been· a recent an­
nouncement that tens of thousands
of dollars will go towards econd
Round Strategic Initiative Projects.
The projects are being implemented
by the administration as a strategy
ro secure Lewis & Clark's legacy
and_ public profile and, through
chat, its financial stability.
The tracegic Initiative Projects
(SIP) are a part of President Barry
Glassner's goal co innovate new
ways for the college co maintain a
good public profile. "Over time,
he's responsible to direct effoi-rs,
endeavors and change of the insti­
tution," explained Vice President
and Provost Jane Atkinson.
The initiative works like chis: a
call for SIP ideas is sent out co che
deans, and these ideas are then re­
viewed by the Executive Council.
Ultimately, Glas ner has the re­
sponsibility co select-which proj­
ects will receive money, for which
there is a separate college fund sec
aside specifically for chis purpose.
The projects are selected largely
on how they are expected co en­
hance the college's profile. "Pro­
motion is part of our strategy,"
said Atkinson. The projects also fie
into larger initiatives of the college,
such as admissions strategies.
A sum of 8,000 dollars was al­
located coward the production of

Tamma Carleton ('09), the 2011
recipient of a Rhodes scholarship.
This video is being used as pare of
a revamped admitted student out­
reach program, initiated by Interim
Dean of Admissions Jim Sumner.
"We're crying some new ways of
reaching out co potential students,"
said umner. "The Tamma Carleton
video is being released co admitted
students over a five-week period,
speaking on different issues such as
leadership and academics."
The video is being sent out in
conjunction with an online chat
developed for admitted students co
have their questions answered by
college members such as Dean of
Students and Chief Diversiry Of­
ficer Celestino Limas, President
Glassner, ASLC President Dich Pamp ('l l) and professors.
By using a more interactive ad­
missions process, the College hopes
to attract more students. On Sum­
ner's initiative, Associate Dean of
cudents Latricia Brand said, "he
understands the importance of not
only a diverse student body, but
the kinds of things char are neces­
sary co make Lewis & Clark more
noticeable."
Another project invests 8,000
dollars in connecting co the K-8 lo­
cal student population. The project
is especially being aimed ac local
high school students of color. "A
shift chat I think we're seeing is chat
there's at lease more of an interest
in understanding our local student
of color population," said Brand.

The Shape of a Girl
BY ROBIN KUIK
Staff Writer
In conjunction with chis year's
Gender Studies Symposium, Rikki
Wynn ('12) and Ana Erikson ('10)
put on Joan MacLeod's short play
The Shape of a Girl.
The monologue is about ;
young girl, Braidie, revealing to
her brother, Trevor, char she bul­
lied her childhood friend Sophie.
Through a series of stories, ranging
from young summer camp memo­
ries co sneaking into a house, Brai-die shows how seemingly harmless
childhood activities can be twist­
ed into directly bullying a friend.
Noc only does chis bullying ruin
their friendship, bur it impacts o­
phie for the rest of her life. One of
the more shocking stories spoke
of how the friends used co play a
game in school where each of the
children had a penalty day, started
by another bully, Adrian. On the
penalty day, no one could speak co
the person who had a penalty.

ent at the meeting and confirmed

SOFTBALL TEAM LOSES
DESPITE HOME RUNS
BY ALIX FINNEGAN
Staff Writer
What started off as a rainy Sat­
urday afrernoon at the Huscon
ports omplex ended just as dis­
appointingly for the Lewis & Clark
ofcball ream, who dropped two
con ecutive games co che Whit­
worth Pirates. The first game ended
9-0 in six innings, and the second
was an 8-3 loss. This puts che Pios'
standing at 0-8 in conference and
2-12 overall:
Whitworth jumped ahead 2-0
in the cop of tl1e first inning, scor­
ing RBIs by Jamie Brunner and­
Caty Lieseke. The Pirates contin­
ued their scoring streak into the
next two innings, ending che third
inning ahead 5-0. A four-run sixth
inning by Whitworth ended the
game, giving Pirate pitcher Em­
ily Anderson a four-hie shut-out,
despite a valiant effort from Pio
pitcher Natalie Rose (' 13).
The second game followed much
the same pattern, with Whitworth
caking a strong six-run lead in the
first three innings. The Pios cried co
come back in the fourth, making up
one run off a triple by Jamie Moon
(' 11) and a subsequent single by.
Caitlin Basilo ('14).
Ashley Grieg scored two home
runs for Whitworth in the sixth in­
ning, bringing the score co 8-1. LC
tried to battle back in the boccom of
the seventh inning with solo horn-•
ers from both Caroline DeVincenzi
('12) and Jec'aime Mullins ('l 3), but
the rally wasn't quite enough. Final
score was 8-3 in favor of Whitman.

formance, were represented in the seven fi­
nalises. A committee:; comprised of students,
faculcy and staff evaluaced the speeches afcer
each presentation and eventually decided on
Wednesday char Aukeem Ballard, a Commu­
nications major from Tacoma, Wash., was
the graduace who best fie the bill.
In his speech, Ballard reflecced on his and
his classmaces' reaccion to scacements made
ac their initial freshman convocacion by a
faculcy member, who cried to inspire them
by proclaiming, 'Here you will learn how to
save the world.' Aukeem spoke abouc the
ambiguicy in such a statement, but empha­
sized thac his peers, whether ready or nor,
muse be prepared to save the world, and thac
it is quire imperative they find their own
way to do it. Aukeem looks to do this in the
field of education. In the speech, Ballard also
discussed the importance of education and
how his mother instilled this in him. "No
one can cake our education from us," he said,
clenched hand raised ac his side.
The idea of a senior speaker selecced by
his or her peers was first introduced co_ Le"'."­
is & Clark commencement ceremonies m
1995 by Michael Ford, the current associate
Vice President of Campus Life. "1 chink the
perspective shared in these remarks p~ov!des
a window to the class as a whole and insight
about what it means to experience the Col­
lege. An invited Commencement speaker
just doesn't have that perspective," said Ford.

usrainability's role in educacional insti­
tutions is abouc co become a topic of discus­
sion as the Suscainability Task Force (STF)
attempts to bring the scudent body into con­
versations about the fucure of sustainability
at Lewis & Clark.
Under the leader hip of director of Envi­
ronmental Scudies Jim Proctor and Associate
Vice President of the Office of Public Affairs
and Communications Tom Krattenmaker,
the STF has been meecing throughouc the
year to discuss suscainabiJicy at LC. The e
discussions have resulted in plans to shifc
the focus of sustainability away from just the
campus, and co embrace a wider focus en­
compassing the educational mission of L
and its work on a range of scales.
A series of subcommittees, focusing on
everything from student life to campus oper­
ations, has been meeting to drafc statements
and commitments regarding sustainability
at rhe school. Student and faculty from all
three schools and staff from facilitie , cam­
pus living and other departments have all
participaced. Other prominent members in­
clude ustainabilicy Manager Amy Dvorak,
Associace Vice President of Facilities Richard
Becegga and Vice -President of Finances Carl
Vance, among many others.
"Ir's supposed to dissolve at che end of the
year," said Student Representative Caitlin
Piserchia ('13), explaining thac sustainabil­
ity would be integrated into new structures
on campus. The intent is for sustainability

sentative Julia Huggins (' 13). "This is exact­
ly the opportunicy for people with random

portunicy for thac to gee heard."
"ff we do it right," Jim Proctor said, as

be known as an institution with fresh ideas
and effective practices related co sustainabil­

Chapel addition completed and set to open
BY JAKE SIMONDS
Stoff Writer
After more than eight months of con­
struction, the Diane Gregg Memorial Pavil­
ion will open Mar. 28. Although currently
waiting on a permit for full occupancy, the
remarkably well-lie, unique space is all bur
officially complete. Formal dedication will
cake place Apr. 17, and afcer that, the space
will be open to the communicy for schedul­
ing.
"Campus events will have their hands full
scheduling [the space]," predicced Chapel
Direccor Mark Duntley, who sees the multi­
purpose space being used for small group
meetings, including spiritual life groups ea­
ger to get QUt of the "cavernous" main cha­
pel; dancing, because of the solid wooden
floor; and erformances by student-led the­
atre groups. "The Gregg" will sear about 80,
and Duntley believes a formal yet practical
space of this size will find a niche on campus.
In the main chapel's original design, ar­
chitect Paul Thiry included a smaller medi­
cation chapel char was scrapped before con­
suuction beg.an due ·co lack of funding.
Those original plans collected dusc until
2007, when principal donor Glenn Gregg
(CAS '55) initiated the project in memory
of his recently deceased wife, Diane, who he
met on Palatine Hill. Because of donations,
this project did nor cost students anything,
and created the opportunity co move for­
ward on something the school mighc be re­
luctant co fund otherwise. Said Duntley, "If
you had cold me cen years ago this was going
to happen, I'd have called you crazy. People
talk of things we need on campus, and [the
pavilion] was never very high on that list. We
might not need this, bur we can u e it, and
that's pretty cool."
Now complete, D1mtley points our char
the addition feels like it was here all along.
Walking from the main chapel to the Pavil­
ion feels natural, and as one enters the space,
large bay windows allow cons of natural
light, enough co suffice even on the rainiest
Portland days. Wood milled from the three
old trees cue down for construction panels
the walls. "[The uees) are still here. They're
in a different form, they're nor living and I'm
sorry about that, bur I just think ic's just. .. "
Duntley paused for a moment. "Ir's beauci­
ful, because char was the wood of this par­
cicular place, I loved chose trees."
The octagonal space feels open, and upon
walking in, one sees a freestanding wood­

The inside of "The Gregg," which will seat approximately 80 people. The space will be multi-purpose and will
be available for any campus group to book.
which provide orientation within an other­
wise direcrionless space. As Duntley noted,
the "Gregg Pavilion" is not the future of ar­
chitecture, which is pare of what he thinks
makes it so interesting.
Constructing "the Gregg" from old de­
signs while remaining faithful co the original
plans was difficult. aid project superinten­
dent Clark Scholl, "As challenging as the sire
has been, it actually ba-s gone well. We had
a very unique design, and unique designs
[present] challenges, but [challenges were
overcome) very well by the ream."
Scholl described his interactions with
Lewis & Clark staff as "fantastic," and felt
the building tenants were very accommodat­
ing. Said Scholl, "They had co contend with
a lot of construction nuisances and char' not
always fun."
Duntley concedes char at rimes the con­
struction nuisances were inconvenient and a
bit challenging. For instance, the day of chis
interview, his office was coo loud for conver­
sation, o he talked with this reporter in a
lobby. Despite the trouble, he speaks high­
ly of all involved in conscrucrion. "Clark
[Scholl]'s been great, the construction peo­
ple, our facilities staff, everybody's done their
best. They've cried to be accommodating and
make ir work for everyone," aid Duntley.
"The changes are all for rhe better, and
while most of us resist change on some lev­
el because we prefer the familiar, I was on
board with this from the beginning and I'll
be very glad when it's really done." PHOTO BY MAGGIE MCDERMUT
The construction of the Gregg Memorial Pavilion has
spanned eight months, but is finally completed. For­
mal dedication of the space will occur on Apr. 17. THE PIO EER LOG, MARCH 18, 2011
Japanese students rally together after news of disasters at home

A 9.0 earthquake off Japan's Ease coast
was che beginning of a series of disasters lase
Friday, including several severe aftershocks, a
23-fooc tsunami, a volcanic eruption and a
nuclear reactor explosion. Although Student
Life sent an email co the LC community Fri­
day afternoon assuring char all of our study
abroad students in Japan, all of our Japanese
students' families and alumni currently resid­
ing in Japan are safe, many students, faculty
and staff reported loss of sleep and countless
hours spent worrying, attempting co contact
family and friends in Japan and watching the
news.
Ir is impossible co provide a full summa­
tion of the deaths, injuries or damage at chis
time. According co The New York Times, as of
Tuesday the estimated death count was over
2,000, bur additional thousands were miss­
ing. The repercussions continue co worsen.

destroyed buildings and cities; hundreds of

Kim Takinami ('13) reported difficulty

She said char United States citizens have
more access co information about the series
of disaste~s than Japanese citizens do at the
moment, and she has been relaying informa­
tion, such as che dangers of the nuclear radia-cion, co her friends and family at home.
The 30 Japanese students and many other
members of the LC community rallied to­
gether in the wake of the disaster.
"The aftermath of chis quake is devastat­
ing and unbelievable. We feel both hopeless
and useless, just watching che news online,"
wrote che studencs in a joint statement.

New Dean· of Admissions and Financial Aid selected
BY ALIX FINNEGAN
Staff Writer
After a long search through many quali­
fied candidates, President Barry Glassner an­
nounced Lisa Meyer as the new CAS Dean
of Admissions and Financial Aid. Meyer is
currencly Vice President of Enrollment at
Whittier College and will be taking over as
Dean chis summer.
The position combines che former Dean
of Admissions position with che responsibil­
ity of overseeing financial aid for the under­
graduate college; after che former Dean of
Admissions Mike Sexton left Lewis & Clark,
the two were combined as pare of a general
reorganization by the College.
Eli Fabens ('I 1), an undergraduate stu­
dent who has been involved with admissions
for seven consecutive semesters, said chat
chis combination helped narrow the com­
mittee's search. "We were looking for a va­
riety of things," Fabens said, "one of which
was experience in financial aid in terms of figuring out where things should go, and we
wanted experience in admissions in terms of
techniques co gee kids interested in Lewis &
Clark."
Additionally, interim Dean of Admissions
Jim Sumner said much of Meyer's appeal
comes from her combination of"high couch
and high cech."
"These days,'.' he said, "finding someone
who can both effectively talk with students
and parents and urilize websites, social net­
working and the like is rare."
Before working at Whittier, Meyer was
Di:;an of Admissions and Associate Vice Pres­
ident for Institutional Image ac University of
La Verne in California, as well as Director of
Admission at Pitzer College. According co
Associate Director of lncernacional Students
and Scholars Brian White, ~ho was also on
the search committee, the focus on financial
aid experience was paramount. "[Financial
aid] isn't just a cool co gee students on cam­
pus; it covers all four years you're here. She

it needs co be drug-free."
Regardless, he believes the College is cak­
ing seeps in the right direction: "I chink nor
having caution cape and police officers down
there co start with ... char is scarring off on an
immensely better foot than whar we had lase
year," said Fabens.
In addition co chis discussion, ASLC
passed a bill approving a committee char will
handle che surplus from the optional student
green fee, which allows the College co pur­
chase clean energy. Fabens explained char Fa­
cilities, the department currencly handling
the green fee, "didn't wane it co become what
the student fee is ... Ir's nor char they don't
crust us. They wane co remain in control of
it, bur they do have a desire co work with us,
co find our what students wane the surplus co
go cowards." This commircee char wilJ man­
age the surplus includes an ASLC senator, an
ASLC approved student Sustainability Coor­
dinator and LC raff.
A resolution designed to create two stu­
dent summer internships co keep the campus
gardens in shape (co be paid for by the sur­
plus fund) was passed. This ASLC resolution
will be given co the surplus committee, who
from here on out will handle all proposals re­
garding the money.
'.'The LC Co-op is interested in partner­
ing with the Garden Club and creating some
sorr of collaboracion effort for the vegetables

incorporated into the Co-op," Lang added.

The Garden Club hopes to see progress

the Lewis & Clark community co participate

If things go as planned, participants in
the Spring Into Action day of service will

co different locations on campus, turning

just the Garden Club's, but they are for ev­
eryone co come rogecher to use and appreci­
ate. "We would encourage students co come
together to learn about gardening as a com­
munity; co pick individual plots co devote
time to during che week and grow the food
char they wane co grow. These plots aren't
necessarily for Garden Club, although we are
somewhat in charge of looking over chem.
We wane anyone who has an interest co come
out and garden. Imagine growing our own
food right here on campus, not shipping in
from thousands _of miles away. Knowing
where it comes from, how it was produced
and che complexity of ics beauty ... it just
makes sense." Story continued from page 1
"Carl is correct, he did nor contact any
contractors. But he did have an individual
contact three different contractors,' said
King. T~o of chose contractors submitted
bids lower than che current Grounds budget.
"After char meeting Monday, I choughc
chat meeting would ease the grounds crew's
minds, and it definitely didn't," said King,
referring co the Mar. 7 meeting between
Vance and Facilities staff. "Their morale is
as low as I've ever seen it," he concined. Sev­
eral students, including current and former
facilities employees, wrote letters co admin­
istration. Many appeared at Barry Glassner's
fireside char on Monday. They wore signs
saying, "I support grounds, the administra­
tion, and dialogue."
Any intent to make a plan co outsource
grounds had been laid ro rest by Monday, Mar. 14. In a phone interview, David Ellis,
who serves as a legal advisor for the inscicu­
cion, said "I talked with both Carl and the
Pre idenc lase Friday and they both agreed
char we are nor going co be outsourcing the
grounds." He explained that although a plan
had never been officially proposed, now "it
is nor even being considered."This news
was received with much relief by Facilities
staff. "I chink the support of the students is
overwhelming," said Bishop. "I can't express
thanks enough co people char showed a pas­
sion ... and an interest in the school char
they're ac."
Still, he said, a business is a business.
"Pare of our job is co make sure that we're
using all of our resources efficiently and chat
we continue to go after our goals as a depart­
ment," said Bishop. "We understand char it
is a business, and 'char we need co focus on
doing our job." 4 Opinions THE PIONEER LOG, MARCH 18, 2011
Symposium sparks
student opinions on gender

Technology changes the way that
we interact with the world around us.
It changes the nature of our identities
and how we express ourselves.
The panel "Gender in Cyberspace,"
presented by Monique Halgar (' 11),
Daisy Frearson (' 13) and Andrew
Janeba (' 11), examined how gender
identity and sexuality is mediated by
increasingly advanced technologies.
One of the conclusions they came
to was that these oftentimes anony­
mous forms of communication allow
for increased gender Auidiry. While
I'm a proponent of changing the way
this society categorizes gender, these
technologies are nor the path ro lib­
eration. Anonymity and the ability to
recreate yourself in an online world
degrade the quality of relationships
that we have in realiry.
The issue here is one of auchentici­
ry. In her presentation, Frearson made
the claim that on line identities should
be considered as significant and au­
thentic as identities in reality.
There is an aspect
of human interac­
tion that cannot be
replaced in an on­
line format.
I'll admit that, often times, your
online life can affect your reality, and
chat relationships in cyberspace can
contribute to your social life. How­
ever, I think there i a vast discrep­
ancy in the authenticity of real life
identities and relationships, and those
formed in a virtual world. There is an
aspect of human interaction-facial
expressions, eye cont;icc, gestures­
that cannot be duplicated in an on-line format. There is always going to
be a difference berween how people
interact in reality, and how people
interact online where you can make
yourself into whatever you wane co
be. le seems to me that the more time
people put into online social interac­
tions, the less adept they become in
real social si ruarions.
Despite the value that some peo­
ple may place on online relationships,
people ultimately need genuine hu­
man interaction in their lives. You
can't replicate intimacy or comfort or
any other feeling that requires physi­
cal interaction online. If we. forger
how to become close with people in
reality, which requires so many more
components chan just ryping in a char
box, then we'll miss out on the most
essen~ial human relationships.
More often l 've found that ano­
nymity rums people into jerks. We're
all familiar with the trolling phenom­
enon, where an anonymous forum
user finds ways co conuadict, embar­
rass or be rude to ocher users. The in­
ternee seems to bring out the rude,
perry and base side of people far more
often than the genuine or caring.
So yes, maybe we can have more
Auid gender identities and sexuality
online. We can freely seek out plea­
sure without consequences, we can
role-play with different sexes and we
can transcend the gender dichotomy
in an online world. Bue ulcimacely,
these changes aren't going to mean
anything until they are manifested
in reality. Perhaps the internee can be
a starting point to explore different
ways to conceptualize our own identi­
ties, but unless we connect these two
realities and use those experiences to
enhance how we relate co· each other
in the physical world, these internet
personas will be nothing more than
another form of escapism.

Uma Narayan's presentation,
"Who Doesn't Wish To Rescue Poor
Third World Women?: Some Suspi­
cious Centerings in ½Ontemporary
Feminism" was a necessary slap in the
face for Lewis & Clark idealism.
Narayan argued that current proj­
ects for development and uplift, like
microlending, actually reinforce gen­
der inequaliry. Narayan makes a valid
point. W~ need to move away from
single-issue can1paigns to a focus on
challenging che entire exploitative sys­
tem of international capitalism.
Western movements to "rescue"
Muslim women are based on racism
and anti-immigrant x~nophobia. For
example, a clo_se look at anti-veiling
laws will show that they are actually
a violation to a woman's right to free­
dom of religion, use of public spaces
and use of public institutions like
schools. •
Second, the veil is clearly being
singled out from functionally equiva­
lent clothing, like nun habits, under
the justification chat Muslim women
are the victims of patriarchal men.
Herein lies the real problem: attacks
on the veil are motivated by the de­
mon ization of Muslim men; veils are
seen more as a threat co Western civi­
lization than to women's rights.
Instead of focusing on women­
specific false solutions, serious femi­
nists need co dismantle the founda­
tions of these systemic inequities.
Similarly, where microcredic loans are hailed by che UN, IMF, Citibank,
and many feminises as a "pa1~acea to
third-world suffering," they are ac­
tually bolstering international wage
slavery. Most of these women go into
debt or do nor maintain control over
the funds themselves and resort co
debt recycling to pay off their dues.
Microcredit also reduces government
expenditures on public services, edu­
cation and health care, devalues local
currency, affects employment and in­
creases food insecurity by supporting
crop specialization.
Microcredit loans
are actually bolster-
-ing international
wage slavery.
Narayan articulated the point well
when she said, "(microloans] justify
shifting responsibilities for securing
employment and provisions onto
poor women, as scare responsibilities
for public provisioning and protec­
tion from unemployment are disman­
tled."
.Programs like microcredit have ul­
terior motives in chat they are often
accompanied by exploitative third­
world structural adjustment policies.
Third world women are being pauon­
ized with microloans from Western
liberals. On the role of a college president
BY DYLAN DISALVIO
Staff Writer
There is an alarming
difference berween how
a college's president and
its students view their
school's operations. The
difference is worth not­
ing: presidents act as
managers of the finan­
cial engine powering
our education, and their
actions have a very sig­
nificant impact on our
lives. Among the consid­
erable hullabaloo of
President Barry Glass­
ner's upcoming inaugu­
ration, set co rake place
Apr. 7-9, there is sur­
prising silence and lack
of awareness about what
it is the president of a
college actually does.
Essentially, they ace
as CEOs. A president
is the highest-level ex-­
ecutive officer of the
institution and reports
direcrly co the Board of
Trustees. To Glassner
and most any ·college
president, che school is
viewed as a business chat
needs co make money.
_ Thus, in performing
their job, no student in­
teraction is required.
To Glassner's credit,
however, attempts have
been made to connect
with students: he re­
cenrly participated 111
a Fireside Chae, and
all are welcome at his
upcoming inaugracion
and inaugural bash. He
was a professor of soci­
ology ar the University of Southern California,
so it's not as though he's
strictly a businessman
who came straight from
a giant corporation co
manage our school-at
lease, 111 this way, he's
nor completely discon­
nected from the per­
spective of a student
body.
Bur regardless of his
efforts or experience,
his job is a high-level
managerial one, and it
necessitates a different
perspective chan teach­
ing or attending an in­
stitution.
I'm talking about
priorities here, folks. To
a college president, an
expense is an expense:
it doesn't matter to him,
for example, if the cost
comes from executive
bonuses or from science
equipment. Either way,
money is money, and
the College must stay
aAoac.
For students, there is
a big difference berween
executive bonuses and
science equipment. To be honest, I
couldn't care less about
Barry Glassner; if the
college could somehow
run without paying a
president co manage it,
I think that'd be great.
What I care about is sci­
ence equipment, SAAB
grants, musical instru­
ments, campus events,
updated computers and
shuttle service co down­
cown Portland.
The values of the
students and those of a
college's president are
diametrically opposed.
Everything that makes
our education more rich
and whole makes a pres­
ident's job as captain of
our financial enterprises
more complex and dif­
ficult.
Only by making
themselves consisrenrly
available, taking them­
selves our of their offices
and perhaps entering a
classroom can a presi­
dent hope to orchestrate
the institution in a way
that is most beneficial
for students.
Sustainability is Sexy
A weekly column dedicated to environmental issues
Youth organizations need to mature
Young adults gather at SPROG, a Sierra Student Coalition summer training PHOTO COURTESY OF RACHEL YOUNG
BY RACHEL YOUNG
Staff Writer
"Aimless" and "misguided" are generally the de­
scriptions I give to environmental activist organiza­
tions, especially those founded and driven by youth.
Though I hope co be employed by these agencies in
the near future, I have to criticize the youth-driven
environmental and climate movement.
Thes.e youth organizations generally have little to
no tangible positive influence towards solving en­
vironmental and climate crises. As a result, many
youth-based non-profits fairer and their leaders be­
come frustrated. Unfortunately, their frustration of­
ten rums into a belief that the source of their prob­
lems are structural and that by rearranging structure
of the organization, greater efficiency, CO)Timunica­
tion and retention will result.
This impulsive restructuring is a completely un­
derstandable inclination: many youth-based groups
will reorganize annually, write new by-laws, srart
new tasks forces and expend huge amounts of en­
ergy doing so. Despite all of this work, attempting
co streamline the group often does nor-prove effec­
tive, because the problems were nor organizational
to begin with. This means that whatever tribula­
tions occurred in the previous structure carry over
co rhe new one.
Youth organizations have a rapid turnover rare
because these organizations are dependent on vol­
unteers. As a result, very few employees will have
been around long enough to understand the down-falls and shortcomings of non-profits, while sea­
soned employees must spend their time training
new members. To compound the problem, each
new set of leaders has their own ideas about how to
structure and org . .nize the group.
The problem wirh youth organizations is three­
fold. Firstly, when dealing with youth volunteers,
there are problems with commitment, retention,
avoiding burn out and keeping people excited.
Secondly, the campaigns often lack strategy and
practicality, and are poorly thought out. The cam­
paigns lack luster because youth-based non-profits
have limited financial resources and there is a defi­
ciency in creative thinking.
Not all organizations have these problems, but
national yourh groups such as the Energy Action
Coalition constantly fall prey co bad campaigns
with unimaginative tacrics.
Lastly, if the solutions and policies being advo­
cated for are nor addressed with rigorous thought,
they are often impossible to achieve and are con­
strained by normative, governmental institutions.
Climate change is the perfect example of an issue
that is nearly impossible to comprehend and solve.
le is global in scale, it requires commitments from
nearly every person on the planet. The threat is
gradual and extends beyond a single lifetime.
Though there are some good things to learn from
experiences with such groups, more often than not,
frustration and regular refiguring of th·e structure
constrains the groups and they end up making little
to no impact. THE PIO EER LOG, M RCH 18, 2011 • Opinions 5

The National Institute
of Health (NIH) defines
obesity as having a BMI of
above 30 and connects it co
other health concerns like
long-term diabetes, heart
disease, joint deterioration
and sleep apnea.
Since when did
society start
labeling a sexual
attraction to
larger women as a
fetish?
The latest polls show char
over 63 percent of Ameri­
can adults are categorized
as overweight or obese, and
chat between 16 and 33 per­
cent of children are in rhe
same boar. By the above definition,
I am obese. Yes, vegerable­

of 185 pounds. I find chis
definition co be a bit of­
fensive. Society's view of
women is skewed and unre­
alistic-women muse all be
a certain size, and that size
muse be desired by men­
bur why does it have co con­
tinue this way? Since when
did society scare labeling a
sexual attraction co larger
women as a fetish?
I've recenrly learned char
I'm not alone in my views
on the subject of weight
acceptance. Known as "far
feminism," "far-positive
feminism" or more broadly
as the "far acceptance move­
ment," feminises across the
world have ganged up ro
fight for their right co feel
beautiful. While they have
many goals as a social move­
ment, "fat feminists" aim co reduce- ruscrimination
against larger women in the
workplace, society and even
at the doctor's office.
While women a.re bio­
logically inclined co have
more body fat than men
for childbearing purposes,
many overweight women
feel their doctors treat chem
differently because of the
number on c_he scale.
Ana many organizations
such as the National Associ­
ation ro Advance Fae Accep­
tance (NAAFA) a.re fighting
issues inducing discrimina­
tion, wage disparity and so­
cial pressures related ro the
overweight and obese.
Medical professionals
may determine the clinical
definition of obesity, bur
the way we treat the over­
weight and obese is com­
pletely up co us as a society.

trangely enough, the
United Scares is nor recog­
nized as a strong country for
education, regardless of the
number of private schools,
colleges and universities we
have and despite the high
educational standards we
proclaim.
How could this be? Be­
cause die American educa­
tion system is one of the
greatest cams that the gov­
ernment offers ro its con­
sci ruenrs. It is nothjng shore of a blessing that the public­
schooled sc_udenrs at Lewis &
lark have gotten this far.
The oft-dismissed idea
that "money can buy every­
thing" may, in fact, be true
when comparing the furure
of a child educated through
the public school system ver­
sus a child educated in pri­
vate school.
Across the nation; pub­
lic classrooms are filling coo
quickly for teachers co keep
up, making one-on-one rime
berween students and teach­
ers nearly impossible.
Small student-teacher ra-tios foster a sense of order
in the classroom, mitigate
behavioral problems and as­
sist students' ability co learn.
This i crucial in a generation
in which learning rusa.bilities
such as ADD ~d ADHD
are becoming more com­
mon.
To compound the prob­
lem of overcrowded class­
rooms, under the 2001 "No
Child Left Behind" educa­
tion law enacted by former
President George W. Bush,
funds were being cur for
the schools that failed co •
meet government standards.
Doesn't this seem backwards?
If a school is srruggling to
meet standards, shouldn't
that school receive more
funding co help them Gatch
up?
An unfortunate result of
this system of monetary re­
ward, is that teachers had
no choice bur co reach co the
test; that • is, focus the cur­
riculum on how co pass stan­
dardized tests rather than on
important skills like critical
thinking.

LC History: Alumna Major Per$pectives: Arlen Nishida
General Jeanne M. Holm (' 49) BY JULIA STEWART
BY MICAH LEINBACH
Staff Writer
Last week, the 30th annual Gender Sym­
posium looked towards the future of gender
in society. This week, the LC History col­
umn looks coward one remarkable story of
gender struggle in the past wich a focus on
alumna Jeanne M. Holm ('49), che United
States Air Force's (USAF) first female gen­
eral.
Born June 23, 1921 in Porcland, Holm's
early life is largely undocumented, one face
we know is chat prior to military service
Holm was a pcofessional silversmith.
On May 15,1942, the Women's Army
Auxiliary Corps was established by Con­
gress, allowing women a chance to serve in
che military. Holm would enlist as a truck
driver, but by l 943 she had been commis­
siorred as a 17,ird Officer, her first official
military rank.
"We felt like pioneers ... we knew we
were breaking new ground," she said. Holm
later reflected on her fitsc experience in che
military wich a scacement that uited her
alma macer nicely. •
17,coughouc World War II, Holm com­
manded and trained a regiment of female
service members, having moved from rainy
Porcland to sun-baked Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga.
As che war came to a close, Holm left her command of a miJjtary hospital in favor of a
civilian life. She attended Lewis & Clark as a
first-year in 1946.
But the scare of the Cold War would draw
her back to military service. The first crisis
co incur casualties resulted in Holm being
called back into accive service, and he was
forced co leave her studies after two years.
She returned nearly a decade lacer, in
1956, to complete her degree. In che time
between, she served in Berlin, helping co
oversee che airlifts over che Soviet blockade.
Holm became che first woman to accend
the Air Command and Scaff School. ACSS
wa the Air Force's college for field officers,
and clearly Holm did something right. She
would come co serve under three presidential
administrations, write a book on women's
role in the military and act as one of che mili­
tary's leading activists for women in service.
Holm has coo many accolades co list, but
the high number alone demonstrates her
life of service and success. One impressive
achievement is the USAF Center for Offi­
cer Accession & Citizen Development was
named after her.

been patrolling the "streets" of campus co en­
sure our safety for che pasc 11 years. He plans
to spend another 15 3/ears as a campus secu­
rity officer until he can retire at age 67.
"I have always admired the police and fire
department and che people who are out chere
helping," said Nishida. Although he consid­
ered-pursuing chose jobs, he wanted to avoid
the politics that .his policeman brocher-in­
law warned him were involved. In working
at a college campus, Nishida said chac he en­
joys che "camaraderie between the officers,
scaff and scudencs."
Nishida spends a large portion of his day
behind the wheel of the large-and-in charge
Campus Safety pick-up trucks. The sustain­
ably-minded folk on campus may wonder
why a Toyota Prius wouldn't be jusc as ef­
fective. "Trucks are beccer to haul che barri­
cades we use for special events," said Ni hida.
"Also, we do transportation of injured peo­
ple. Thar's why we have the four-door trucks
instead of the small two-door ones."
In his eleven years, Nishida said he has
only had co go into action cen rimes. "Once

PB & J sandwiches get an upgrade
BY DARYA WATNICK
Features Editor
In NW Portland, peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches get a gourmet
makeover at PBJ' .
hane and Keena, the dynamic,
upbeat couple who run the PBJ's
food cart, starred their cart in 2009
as a way to supporc the local organ­
ic markers and serve quality ingre­
diencs that are fun and delicious.
Their menu reflects that mis­
sion. The couple make their own
nut butter and they use both al­
mond and peanut butter on the
sandwiches. The jams come from
Hood River, the hazelnut butter
from rhe Willamette Valley, the
chocolate from Ashlam:i and the
bread from Portland.
weer Tart, Cream of the Crop
and Hor Hood are a few names of
the sandwiches offered at PBJ's.
The ingrediencs and names are
certainly wacky; they could be de­
scribed as the Voodoo Doughnuts

rer sprinkled with white chocolate

ventures beyond the typical sweet
sandwich toppings: in between the
thick slices of challah bread is black
cherry jam, jalapeno, apple wood
smoked bacon and peanut butter.

categories: sweet, savory, spicy and
tart. Keena said Shane was the
brains behind the unique concoc­

our new ways to pair the ingredi­
ents.
"There is also a secret, hidden
menu of sandwiches that I've cre­
ated. Certain customers always ask
for a specific one, so I'Li make those
for them," said Shane.
Choosing just one sandwich is
difficult at PBJ's. I ended up try­

Sandwiches range from $4 to $6. Want a sick internship?
Act like you're trying to score a hot date •
BY NATALIE BAKER
Editor in Chief
Internship deadlines loom large
across our drizzly campus like far,
cash-dripping rain clouds. The big­
ger the internship, the more in­
timidating and unattainable it can
seem. In fact, ic's about as scary as
asking someone out. Keeping that
sexy internship-dare parallel in
mind, here are some simple rips for
turning your dream internship into
reality.
1. Know what you want.
Imagine how ridiculous it would be
to run around the cafeteria telling
every person in line for dinner that
you're single. It would cake you
two hours, the food would all be
gone by the time you finished and
everyone would officially know
that you're crazy. The same goes for
internships. There isn't enough time
in the world to apply foJ everything.
Think about what your strongest
skills and greatest interesrs are, then
use your inceresrs to determine what
type of company/organization you
should apply to and your skills to
determine what type of internship
you want. If you're passionate
about the environment and a good
writer, it makes way more sense co
pursue an editorial internship at
Greenpeace than a coffee-running
gig at Random House. _
2. Craigslist is creepy. Maybe
you'll find a two-week gig washing
dogs or a 32-year-old bicurious line
dancer who only digs phone sex. May­
be you'll find a homicidal axe man.
What you probably won't find is the
ultimate internship. For way better
luck, check out the National Intern­
ship Consortium at nic-csm.symplic-iry.com and check in with 3CE for
login information. NIC is a database
filled with real internships for college
srudenrs and recent graduates. •
3. Show genuine interest.
E-mailing a hiring manager
nothing bur your resume and a
generic cover letter is akin to adding
your crush as a friend on Facebook,
but never acrually talking to them.
When applying for an internship
you need to customize every
document you send so that you
seem not just like a good person,
bur a good march. Thar means
cutting your high school Jamba
Juice gig from your resume and
explaining in your cover letter why
you're excited about that particular
internship. And don't pull that "To
whom it concerns" crap. Do the
necessary research to find ou~ who
is hiring you.
4. Make them want you. You
know the game. You are hot shit,
available and interested, but you
are not desperate. In your intern­
ship application, be open about
what you like abour the company
and how you think you could con­
uibure a lot to them while gaining
necessary experience and skills. Bur
don't say you'd do anything for this
internship. Don't .call them inces­
santly. Don't bug them every week,
asking if they've decided yet. It just
makes you a stalker.
5. Cover your bases. If you
think there is one and only one in­
ternship that is right for you, you
could be setting yourself up for
some serious disappointment. To
guarantee yourself a productive
summer, apply for at least three
killer internships, four midlevel
positions, and a total shoe-in.

Living Rheum -Photo of the Week
Student band Living Rheum

part of the Gathering of the
Goof Punx music festival Margo Conner (' 12)
BY ZIBBY PILLOTE
Arts Editor
This weekend, Portland honors
DfY folk punk with the Gathering
of the Goof Pu nx, which featur a
slew of local bands.
Lewis & Clark band Living
Rheum will join the fun Saturday
night at The ea Shanty along with
lraqasauru , Andrew Link & The
Foreman Grilles, Lee Corey Os­
wald, Angries, Hail Seizures, AU­
TRY!, Foor Ox and Nymphobrani­
acs & Company.
Living Rheum is made up of
Jon Satin ('13), Dan Byers ('13),
Ian Wollman ('J 3), Daniel Nick­
erson ('14), Daniela Jimenez ('14),
Oshi Wills ('14), Ian Griffith ('14)
and Kyle Moderhak (non-student). Much of Margo's photogra­
phy captures moments of every­
day life.-snapshors of chopped
vegetables and deserted roads
blanketed in snow, strangers
gazing into vase equariums and
portraits of miniature coys. Ev­
eryday or otherwise, what many
of her photos have in common
is their ability to evoke a sense
of profound cranquility, and
this particular photograph is of
no exception. The hand's un­
usual posture in conformance
with the pear it holds is almost
medicative, standing against
a background free of noise or
context. Sure, it's just a hand
holding a piece of fruit, but
with the photo's intentional fo­
cus and composition, it precise­
ly such simplicity that makes it
powerful.

The band combines accordion,
stand-up bass, brass, violin, banjo,
guitar and ocher elements, creating
a unique style of folk punk.
"For lack of better words, I guess
we play folk punk or goof punk or
something, whatever it is. We like
having fun, having sing-alongs, and
I intend co be able co crowd surf

As of now, the band has a lim­
ited amount of mu ic available for
Ii tening on lasc.fm, myspace and
bandcamp, but hope to have their
first full-length album available for
sale at the Goof Punx show. The
music is lyrical, fun and definitely
catchy. The Newspace Center for Photography exhibit "iPortland" features photos exclusively taken on an iPhone.
"I never w:ant to stop playing
music and being pare of the DIY
and punk community," said Sarin.
"Ir's a really nurturing community
to be in. J couldn't have picked a
better one ifl even had the choice."
The night is bound co be a non­
stop goofy folk party. Even with
eight bands playing over the course
of four hours, your ears won't wane
a break. Come support your talent­
ed peers who, according to Sarin,
are concerned with "friends, nor

1he newest artistic cool is now
in your pocket; it could be a phone
call from your mom or it could be
a digital camera. This past week,
a new show opened at Newspace

to run until Mar. 24, involves the
work of eight local photographers,

is as if the photographers were emu­
lating the traditional process while
simultaneously caking a huge shore­
cur in the accessibility and conve­
nience of an iPhone. As a whole, the
photos' main focus is the photog­
raphers' families and familiar land­
marks around tl1e Ro e City. "You
will notice in the exhibition things
you might see every day as you crav­
e! through Portland. Structures and
details of the everyday now become
graphic and mysterious," said on­
nenmair in one press release.
This mysterious aesthetic was
achieved through the numerous photography apps diat are available
for the iPhone, including some of
the most popular photo add-ons:
"Shake-it Photo," "Tile Shift Gen­
erator" and "Hipsramatic." The
effect of these apps moves away
from rhe notion that they were ef­
forclessly taken on an iPhone and
give them a much more warm and
familiar feel. The show succeeds ac
creating a dialogue about the union
of art and communication in the
interfaces of modern technology.

The Shape of a Girl
Continued from page 1
Everyone bur the person with the
penalty was marked with "FP" for
flea proof; everyone bur Sophie.
Braidi·e goes on to relate how chis
experience was similar to a story in
the newspaper about four girls who
killed another girl when bullying
had gone too far. The thing that
struck her die hardest was chat these
girls were so incredibly normal, Brai­
die never initiates any of the buJly­
ing, but doesn't do anything to stop
it because she simply wanes to fie in. This is the case for the majority of
people who witness bullying.
In Wynn's Actor's Nore, she said,
"Bullying is a serious issue and some
schools refuse to intervene, especial­
ly when it comes co emotional bul­
lying. Emotional bullying usually
won't disrupt the overall school day."
This play was incredibly compel­
ling in many ways. The solitary ac­
tress on stage speaking only co her
brother, who the audience is ex­
pected to assume is there with her,
allowed her to tell the entire story
without interruption. Arts9

Cassettes," the original purvey­
or of music trading culture, the
precursor to CDs (the rich man's
8-crack) and the Internee, allowed
people to copy their favorite tunes
and easily swap them with their
friends. Whether it was a mix or a
Grateful Dead bootleg, tapes have
been-an important part of musical
history. While cassettes don't ex­
actly offer audiophile sound qual­
ity, the medium has monumental
importance. Cassettes gave people
the freedom to copy and trade mu­
sic on their own for the first time,
and in turn allowed musicians to
cheaply copy and distribute their
own music for the first time.
Now, nearly 35 years past rhe
initial popularity of cassettes, there
is a resurgence of musicians re­
leasing their music on the "dead"
medium., Though some, find chis
medium of recording restrictive,
cassettes are tradable, and the lack
of a skip button forces the listen­
er to appreciate the work in its
full form instead of song by song,
something that many are now ac­
customed to. Portland has placed
itself at the height of this resur­
gence with a wealth of rape labels
actively releasing music from all
across the spectrum.
To start, Eggy Records has been
a major center for cassette culture
in Portland. Eggy's releases are all
over the place, spanning from ex­
perimental co pop. All Eggy tapes
are beautifully issued with silk­
screened covers.
tunned Records moved from
Long Beach, CA co Portland this
past year and has quickly estab­
lished itself amongst the most im­
portant labels in Portland. Featur­
ing dubbed out jammers Edibles,
synth-monger High Wolf and the
psychedelic experimentations of
Plankton Wat, Stunned is helping
to document Portland's far out ex­
perimental music.
Hate music made in studios?
Portland has its own rape label ded­
icated to releasing live recordings.
UHU tapes was inspired by an af­
fection for live sound and a frus­
tration with the lack of energy in­
side of studio made music. UHU's
pressings are very small, usually
around 50 tapes, so snatch them
up whenever you see them. They're
full of energy and dubbed by hand.
The curiously named Karam­
azov Tapes is a collectio_n of the
weird. While most of its bands do
not hail from our city, it releases
extraordinarily interesting music.
Much of it is long form and heavily
experimental, often featuring float­
ing synths or swirling dubbed-our
saxophone lines.
Tapes are a symbol of music
trading culture, and lee's be,honesr:
when your hard drive dies, what
will you ever have to show for those
70,000 songs you downloaded? •

Will Provost ('13) prefers KLC radio to his previous college radio experience.
BY HAYLEY TRIVETT
Arts Editor
What kinds of music do you play?
I like co feature new and emerg­
ing artists. It's an indie rock show
moscly. My favorite band is WHY?,
so they gee played a lot on my
show. Today, I've played Discover,
Miike Snow, Cat Power and Aphex
Twin. I also try to play bands chat
are playing around Porcland soon,
so I played Grouper today.
How were you involved in the radio
station at the sr;hool you transferred
from?
I rransferred from Universiry
of che Pacific. I worked at a ra­
dio station (KPAC) similar to this
one, but this one's much nicer. I
like chat it has records and CDs in
stock. le wasn't chat hip of a school,
so I had the only indie music show.
Do you ever play records?
I play almost exclusively mp3s.
I found a Built to Spill record in the Cave the other day. Other than
that, I'll play The Smiths on vinyl.
The Cave rocks. It's my favorite
pare. Ir's awesome to see that much
music in one place rhar is at our
disposal.
Do you have plans to host Live music
on your show?
I want ro be able to record the
live performances first. I know
bands would be down to play, bur
I want to be prepared on my end.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I've talked to Gus Griswald about
it. If people can listen to it later,
then more bands will start wanting
ro do it, and then all of a sudden
we have a collection of cool record­
ings from the Lewis & Clark radio
station.
Do you have any improvements you
want to make?
I wane to be able to do Podcasts.
I like to ger people involved. I'd
like to have local artists or more LC
artists on the show. Do you have any strange stories?
I was blasting music in [the
studio) and someone came in and
asked me to turn my music down.
I thought to myself, "what are you
doing working at a radio station?"
What do you think of the KLC stu-
dio? •
I have people to come hang out
a lot. Ir's a nice area to be social and
enjoy music. I like the graffiti, it
adds a really nice vibe. Some of the
stuff is so funny. My favorite one is,
"make it a fish sandwich."
What made you want a radio show
at LC?
I'm a music connoisseur. When
I'm nor at a radio station, I'm blast­
ing music in my hall with rhe door
open. You can ask my neighbors.

LORD SAVE US FROM OUR ... INTOLERANCE?
BY ALIX FINNEGAN
Staff Writer
Wearing an Oregon Universiry
football jersey and Nike sneakers,
Dan Merchant doesn't look like a
man overly concerned with reli­
gion.
Yer as rhe director of the-docu­
mentary Lord Save Us From Your
Followers, Merchant leads a cin­
ematic journey through faith, cul­
ture wars and people's perception
of faith in America.
Brought to Lewis & Clark by
Interfaith, Hillel, Agape and New­
man Club in conjunction with
Campus Living, this is the second •
rime Lord Save Us has shown on
campus.
In 2008, Lord Save Us played
for the first rime on any college
campus and played for the second
time for any screening of the film.
Three years and I 06 screenings
later, Dan Merchant's documen­
tary returned to LC ro spark con­
versation. "How are we suppo ed to have
a conversation when everyone is
talking at once?" said Merchant be­
fore the film showed.
In his travels across the coun­
try, Merchant has confronted sre­
reorypes, asked rhoughr-provok­
ing questions and talked to a wide
range of people about faith-from
left-leaning comedian Al Franken
to the devoucly-Catholic Senator
Rick antorum ro LC's own Vice
President for Public Affairs and
Communications Tom Krarren­
maker, whose appearance onscreen
was received with cheers and ap­
plause.
When asked what words rhey
associate "Christians" with, the
people interviewed gave answers
like "Cru ades," "judgmental" and
u • n conversion.
When asked the same thing
about "Jesus," the answers centered
around things like "love," "forgive­
ness" and "compassion."
America has one idea ofChrisci­
aniry and another idea of Jesus; ac-cording co Merchant, it's chis gap
between Christian actions and Je­
sus' ideals rhar stigmatizes religion.
"I think rhi~ documentary is
in line with Lewis & Clark's mis­
sion: exploration," said Ali Crow­
ley (' 12), who is a member of L 's
Interfaith Council. "We encour­
age students of all faiths to edu­
cate chems@l.ves [about different
faith ]."
The Q&A section hosted after
the film brought up several intrigu­
ing questions, including confront­
ing Muslim srereorypes, involving
chiLdren in the religious debate and
advice on becoming better Chris­
tians.
"I think what's important is lov­
ing each other," said Merchant,
"and I'm not making this shit up.
I'm blatancly plagiarizing it.'
Even in the heart of Portland,
a ciry characterized by strip clubs
and atheism, Merchant's message is
clear: it's nor religion that's devas­
tating, it's peoples' unwillingness to
talk about it. NOVEL

Such a miracle occurred this se­
mester in the form of The Poison­
wood Bible by Barbra Kingsolver. I
can safely say this book is now one
of my favorites, and I'll undoubt­
edly read it again, over and over.
Over the course of the book, I
laughed out loud, felt the urge to
punch a character in the face and
even cried a little.
The novel follows the journey
of the Prices, a missionary family
in the lace fifties who moves co che
Congo.
The story is cold through che
eyes of che women of the Price
family: Orleanna, the mother; Ra­
chel, the eldest; Adah and Leah,
the twins; and Ruth May, the
youngest.
I have read books in the past
chat cell a story from different per­
spectives, but this story stood out
for how differently each of the
women spoke their thoughts and
developed individually.
Through each distinct view­
point, the reader can clearly see how each character develops and
changes through their own eyes,
and also through the eye of each
female all other characters.
The narration from both moth­
er and daughters supplies a range
of differing perspectives and capti­
vates che reader.
The Poisonwood Bible inter­
weaves a complicated sec of sco­
rylines from each woman's de­
velopment, family dynamic and
relationships, the political situation
in the Congo and daily life of the
village.
The combination of rhe differ­
ent story lines creates a rich tapes­
try of emotion and paints a vivid
picture of sociery in the Congo.
The Prices become so connected
to the Congo that the furure of the
family and the future of the polifi­
cally turbulent country are inher­
encly linked.
The story often deals with sub­
jects that are painful to read about,
but that are portrayed in such a
way that encourages the reacier co
continue.
The powerful narrative sryle
and shift between speakers kept, me
glued co the page.
I felt real emotional connec­
tions to each character, whether it
was harred for the abusive father
or marvel at the innocence of the
youngest daughter,
The Poisonwood Bible combine
history, anthropology, policies, bot­
any and a well-cold story into one
amazing read.
Ac more than 500 pages, it does
nor go by quickly, bur if you are
someone who wishes to spend sig­
nificant qualiry time with a novel,
I believe chat it's well worth the ef­
fort.
Reading chis book is a thought
provoking experience that requires
rime to reAecr and, if possible, dis­
cussion.
On your next vacation, grab
thi book and get ready for one hell
of a literary experience.

A guide to buying the best climbing shoes for your climbing style
BY MEGAN MORIN
Staff Writer
When your coenail begins co gee filed
on the climbing wall because it is poking
chroug"1 the giant hole in your shoe, you
know it is cim co give in, lay down che
dough and buy a new pair of hoes.
Though I have gone through many pairs
of climbing shoes in my day, this lase pair was
one of my favorites -La portiva women's
Muira lace-ups. They fie me perfectly and
held me precariou ly on many small foot­
holds during some of the scarier climb I've
sent. Bue there comes a rime when you have
co move on. For me and anyone else looking
co either replace a pair of shoes or gee inco
bouldering, now is a great rime co buy: last
year' model are all on sale.
When buying a pair of climbing shoes,
there are a few things co consider. First, al­
way buy what seems like a half size coo small
because most hoes are made with leather
and will screech. Finding rhe perfect fir is a
careful balance: don't go wich a shoe char you
can barely get your foot inco, because as soon
as you srand up, you'll be in agony. Don't
go with one that feels comfortable che first
rime you put ic on, either. The hoe should
be right and put a fair amount of pressure on
your coes when you first buy ic.
Also, consider the shape of your foot; if
you have a narrow heel, cry co find women's shoes, as they rend co be narrower- nothing
is worse than your heel slipping our when­
ever you go ro heel hook. Always jump on
their demo wall if Ehe score has one; walking
in climbing hoes is a poor represencarion of
their meric.
Nexc, consider the cype of lase that is ap­
propriate for your climbing scyle. If you rend
co do a loc of technical bouldering that in­
volves overhangs and technical fooc place­
ment, an aggressive curved last wiU give you
the precision you need. If you're doing a loc
of vertical, delicate climbing, find shoes thac
have precise edges.
If you're doing a loc of uadicional or
mulci-picch climbing, find something that
balances comfort wich power, as you'll be
wearing them for long periods of rime. For
crack climbing, shoes thac cover your ankles
may be a good invescmenc.
Also consider overall quality. Do some
research on the cypes of rubber char differ­
enc companies use and read product reviews
or calk co your friends about how differ­
enc brands hold up. In my experience, La
Sporciva has the highest quality rubber and
offers very well conscrucced shoes. Madrock,
Evolve and Moncrail are on the lower end of
quality but are great inexpensive options for
less demanding climbers.
Email mmorin@Lcuzrk.edu with any
questions about shoes, climbing or outdoor
activities.
Madness, this is March
An overview of the top NCAA pies and what to expect from this year's
tournament changes
BY ANTHONY RUIZ
Staff Writer
Ir's March, and you know what chat
means, righc? Ir's rime co change the clocks,
spring break is peeking around the corner,
and 1 hope you wore green yesterday, or you
could still be nursing pinch marks!. Lepre­
chauns and vacations in Cabo aside, the
NCAA is hosting the granddaddy of courna­
ments, commonly referred co as March Mad­
ness. This year's cournamenc will be unlike
any ocher: the field now has been expanded
co encompass 68 reams, instead of che cra­
dicional 64. There has also been a change in
this year's format of che rounds. This year,
eight reams will battle ic out for the final four
spots in the traditional 64-ceam cournament.
This round will be called che First Four.
The addition of the First Four round gives
bubble ream a chance co _accually play one
another and earn a spoc, making for more
entertaining TV than any selection show
could. Other than the addition of another
round, che format remains largely che same.
There are scill four regions: Ease, West,
Southwest and outheasc. In each region, a
number one seed is selected based on their
record and strength of schedule during the
regular season.
Thi year' number one seeds are Ohio
care (Ease), Kan as ( outhwesc), Pircsburg
( outheasc) and last year's champions, Duke
(West). In addition co che number one seeds,
there are 15 ocher reams per region seeded
based on record, strength of schedule, and
finishing placement in their conference.
[f you have been sleeping through the
March Madness hype rhus far, you've already
missed a considerable number of games.
To dare, ac lease 20 games are in the books,
with another 16 slated co happen coday! If
you have any inceresr in watching whac some
call the greatest ream spore, I would recom­
mend waccning the UNLV-Ulinois marchup
conighc at 6:20 p.m.
After nearly losing ouc on winning the
Mountain Wesc conference by rwo points,
che Running Rebels of UNLV have a lot to
prove against the scrappy Illinois ream from
the Big Ten conference. UNLV and Illinois
are closely marched in points per game, as
well as seeded eighc and nine respectively.
As for courney favorites, Ohio care seems
co be everyone's early pick co win it all. Super
freshman Jared ullinger is having a domi­
nating eason, averaging 17 points and 10
rebound per contest. Ocher chan losing rwo road games co Purdue and Wisconsin,
tl1e Buckeyes have won 32 games this .year,
including winning che Ben Ten Champion­
ship. This being said, don't counc our de­
fending champion Duke just yet. Duke has
a much easier region chan Ohjo Stace, and
• would only have co fear competition from
San Diego race and Texas co reach yet an­
other Final Four, while Ohio Scare faces se­
rious competition from Kentucky, yracuse
and North Carolina.
Every year there is a team thac pulls off
a couple of huge upsets, leading thousands
of fans Aocking co chis "Cinderella" ream.
We all remember George Mason in 2006 be­
coming the·firsc "Mid-Major" ream in over
25 years co reach the Final Four, as well as ey­
ing ac 11 for the lowest ranked seed co reach
the Final Four. Lase season, fans hopped on
the Butler bandwagon after they upsec num­
ber one seeded yracuse. Butler made ic all
the way co the acional Championship game
before running ouc of time against Duke.
This year, many fans are searcning for the
next George Mason or Bueler co shock the
world. My sleeper pick for chis year is Uni­
versity of Oakland. While Oakland plays in
a much weaker conference than their first
round opponent Texas, they have something
Texas doesn'c-momenrum. Oakland went
17-1 in the ummic League this season, in­
cluding winning cheir lase eight games in a
row.
In comparison, Texas has gone a medio­
cre 4-4 in cheir la c eight, including losing co
a non-cournament ream in Nebraska. Oak­
land also knows how co score, averaging over
85 a game, as well as breaking the 100-poinr
mark nine rimes this season. Oakland's e­
nior Keith Benson should also be able co
march up well with Texas' leading scorer Jor­
dan Hamilcon. They both average over 18
points per game and have consistently come
up big later on in games.
Lastly, if you have noc yec filled our your
bracket, ic's not coo lace. You can still pencil
in che games char happened ea·rlier in che
cournamenr and say you "knew they were
going co win," or you "had a hunch a 16
seed would give thac number one trouble."
Whichever you do, make sure you wacch the
absurd number of games this year. Ac least ar
this level, player still know how co pass the
ball and will accually get called for traveling
once in awhile. Hardball with an athlete
Q&A featuring Jose Nevarez ('13) of cross country and track & field
BY FIONA CORNER
Sports Editor
Why do you 1·unf
The feeling you get at the end of a race
when everyone is lined up on the sides
cheering and you cross the line, no matter
what place you're in, is a feeling unlike any
other. Don't gee me wrong: winning i al­
ways great and feels awesome, bur finishing
is an accomplishment on ics own. Ir rakes a
special rype of person co be able co run day
in and day out despite whac the weather is
like outside or how you're feeling (within
reason, of course) and just push your body
co cesc its limi'rs.
W'hat do you love about running?
I love the feeling that you gee. once you
finish a run or a hard workout. You feel re­
ally good about yourself and it ju c makes
the rest of your day that much better. Run­
ning is also a very tightly knic community of
people because only a runner can under­
stand why we run.
W'hat do you like better, track or cross
cottntryf
Anyone can cell you that I like crack
much better. I am not a long distance run­
ner; I can go our for some longer runs and
do the workouts and even race bur I don't
enjoy it as much as a speed workout or
shorter, faster runs. To make ic simple, I am
much h~ppier when I am going fasc. I am
also much better at crack. Coach David Fix
recendy cold me that I'm nor even a middle
distance runner, which is how I am classified
in crack; I'm a hybrid berween a sprinter and
middle distance.
W'hat frustrates yott about running?
It really frustrates me when I don't have a PHOTO COURTESY OF JOSE NEVAREZ
good race or workout because I feel like I
wasted all che energy I put inco ic. It is al~o
very frustrating that you have co plan every­
thing on how much you ear and whac time
you go co sleep and how long you sleep, not
coo lictle or not coo much, because it all af­
fects your performance che next day. I also
hare injuries; chey happen quire often.
W'hat do you like to do in PDXf
I like co go our and cry the fine cuisine
of Portland with my friends, such as Taco
Bell, The Grilled Cheese Grill, chai food,
The Hoecake House and Froyo (we like co
rcy ouc various locations). Every Wednesday
night, we get Froyo.
W'here is yottr favorite place to run?
Ic depends on where I am in Portland.
My favorite places co run are Tryon and
Marshall Park. Back home in ouchern
California, I like co run on the bike path
char is along me beach because the breeze
feels good on a hoc summer day.
Do you listen to music when you run?
If I run alone, I always listen co music.
I have a large array of thing I listen co; it
depends on the rype of run. Longer runs
require music with a mix ofbeacs so char 1
don't end up running coo fast, and workouts
reqwre music chat really gees me pumped.
Athletes discuss
definitions of masculinity
and femininity
BY ALIX FINNEGAN
Staff Writer
As part of the Gender Scudies sympo­
sium char ran Mar. 9-11, four athletes came
cogecher in a roundcable discussion citied
"L&C Athletes Talk about Gender and Sex­
uality."
Panel members Kayla Ernewein (' 14),
Christina Herring ('11), Brandis Piper ('12)
and Marr Yelin ('11) cook on issues such as
masculinity and femininity in spores, che
struggles of balancing them and how gender
ILLUSTRATION BY KATE OWENS
and sexuality affect team dynamics.
Ernewein, who plays volleyball and
swims, spoke about the differences berween
che two spores. "Jr's a loc mo(e accepcable co
be girly in volJeyball, bur because of char, we
do have co fight co show chat we're achleces,"
she said.
"In swimming, though, a lane full of
fast girls is nor the same as a lane full of fast
guys."
The panel all agreed that traditional ideals
of men and women gee in the way of sports,
though the definitions of masculinity and
femininity were more difficult co agree upon.
Piper proclaimed char "being secure wich
yourself and what you know" characterized
both masculinity and femininity, while Her­
ring connected her idea of masculinity co her father and his ability co·be a successful role
model.
On the disconnect berween traditional
and modern definitions, Michael Messner,
"If strong, powerful and
assertive is masucline, then
you're damn right I want to
be masculine!"
a Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies
from the University of Southern California
and one of the symposium's keynote speak­
ers, said, "l understand the struggle with de­
fining masculinity and femininity; in coday's
culcure, ic's a moving cargec."
Audience member Kristi Williams, the
Associate Direccor of Academic Advising,
spurred an interesting discussion: "A wom­
an will really be an athlete when sh.e's noc
a 'female athlete."' Yelin felt that this idea
changed by sport.
In swimming, "we don't say Rachel [Caz­
den] is the fastest female athlete; we say Ra­
chel is the fascesc swimmer." Herring, howev­
er, pointed our the disparities mat still exist,
pointing co attendance of women's basket­
ball games as proof.
"We had a much better season than the
boys this year," she said. "Bur they still had
more fans until the end."
Despite che struggle co balance mascu­
linity and femininity in spores, however,
both the panel and the audience were able
co come co che conclusion char changing the
role of both weren't a bad ching.
In relating an anecdote about a srudenc in
one of his classes, Messner said, "After class
one day, one of my female students came up
co me.
She said, 'If strong, powerful and assertive
is masculine, then you're damn righc I wane
co be ma culine!' And I think chat's the acci­
cude co adopt here." .J ... 12 Backdoor THE PIO EER LOG, MARCH 18, 2011
