The Lewis & Clark Community Counseling Center aims to serve people of all walks of life, offering a sliding payment scale to make
services accessible to all.
BY LINDSEY BOSSE
Staff Writer
The graduate school's Commu­
nity Counseling Center has been
open for almost nine months. The
center has seen around 300 clients
so far, averaging 38 co 40 sessions
a week. le is a community facility,
and therefore serves more than just
the Lewis & Clark community. In
fact, clients come from all direc­
tions in and outside of Portland;
some even drive more than an hour
co receive services.
Clients come co the center
through word of mouth or are re­
ferred by ocher services, such as
centers that have full waiting lists.

BY MORGAN LEIGH JONES
Staff Writer
The ASLC provides students
and student organizations with the
support and funds necessary co fur­
ther their endeavors. As an eager
first-year student, I was impressed
by the power and the reach of this
student organization.
Within ASLC a're various com­
mittees that register new clubs and
provide the finances chat each club
needs in order co kick into gear. In
other words, chis influential stu­
dent group provides an umbrella­
like framework for all of the oth­
er student organizations at Lewis
& Clark. The variety of the clubs
chat receive ASLC support ranges
from Swing and Ballroom Club to
Gardening Club ro Serious Club/
SCRIPTed to Ultimate Frisbee
Club and many more.
This past week, I cook a look
inside the Student Organizations
Committee of ASLC. They were
getting ready to assess the funding
of two brand new clubs on the ho­
rizon. The committee will organize
meals wilh club leaders and decide
how to distribute funds co these
groups through an application pro­
cess at the end of this year. rer has several parrner~hips within
Portland char help refer clients,
and works with graduate students
looking for more experience in the
field.
The center provides unique op­
portunities for the greater Portland
community, as services are provid­
ed on a financial sliding scale start­
ing at $10 a visit.
"[The clinic] is immersed in the
community because it needs to be,"
said Dean of the Graduate School
of Education and Counseling Scott
Fletcher. "It brings services to un­
derserviced communities." .
Currently, the center is mak­
ing a greater effort to reach out to
the LGBTQ community, assess­
ing what services are lacking in Lhe
lhe Pioneer Log has a long his­
tory at Lewis & Clark. For decades,
our small paper has been the on­
campus new source for students.
Our goal as a paper is to keep
students, staff and faculty informed
and involved as to what is going on
on campus and in the greater Port­
land community.
Since our humble beginnings,
we have been, and will always be,
a student-run newspaper. Students
write, draw, photograph, edit and
copy edit all of our content; stu­
dents manage all of our advertise­
ments and finances.
With Little (albeit helpful) in­
volvement from faculty and staff,
the paper has thrived as a testament Portland area and offering services
as they see fie. So far, they have ob­
served a lack of support, apart from
peer groups within the city, for the
male to female rransgender com­
munity. The center will reach out
co this community with profession­
al support.
"We identify needs and then do
our best to leave a footprint in the
community," said Director Antonia
Mueller.
The center also employs a spe­
cific method for therapy called the
cultural context model, which as­
sesses societal pressures in addition
to stories and symptoms. They are
pushing to serve more of the Lati­
no population by -providing coun­
seling in Spanish. In addition to
Editor's note
co the hard work and talent of LC
students.
That being said we are YOUR
newspaper. We rely on YOUR in­
volvement and readership to sus­
tain our existence. And more than
chat, we encourage it. Without
your work and support, we would
not exist.
Beginning today, Friday, Oct. 5,
office hours will be posted outside
of our door in Templeton. These
are times char you can approach
editing staff and cell us what you
chink the paper is lacking and how
we can better meet the students'
needs.
I am the first person to admit
chat I wane co improve lhe Pioneer speaking the native language of
Latinos who visit, clinic staff also
use the culrural context model to
assess stresses brought on by liv­
ing in a more white, middle-class,
English-speaking society when you
are a Spanish-speaking Latino.
This model is typical of East Coast
therapeutic treatment but is a nov­
el practice for the West Coast and
Portland.
The center is on Barbur, in a
building owned by the Confeder­
ate Tribe of Grand Ronde, who are
important partners with the cen­
ter. Due to their partnership, che
center works closely with the tribal
community and the relationship
is described by Dean Fletcher as a
"good collaboration."
Overall, srudents from all three
disciplines in the Counseling Pro­
gram-marriage, couple and fam­
ily and _addiction and professional
mental health counseling-all re­
ceive training and opportunities

Students are monitored by su­
pervisors who watch the coun­
seling sessions in another room
either via one-way mirror or live
camera recording. It's a useful way
for students to get experience and
feedback in real time. Many uni­
versi cies run their own counseling
centers, but LC's is quickly making
an impact in the region with low
rates, contemporary methods and
great experiences for students.

Green fee surplus used for students' sustainability projects
The 85 dollar green fee, instituted by the ASLC, covers 100 percent of campus electricity use.
BY MICHELLE CHERNACK
Staff Writer
Every year, undergraduate stu­
dents have che option of paying an
additional 85 dollars along with tu­
ition chat goes cowards the Green
Fee Fund.
The fund was scaned in 2003 as
a pare of the Green Power Initia­
tive co purchase Renewable Energy
Certificates (RECs). Now, with a
surplus of money, students have a
chance co apply for gran cs to fund
sustainability related projects.
"The green fee was institut­
ed several years ago by students
through ASLC legislation," said
Sustainability Manager Amy Dvor­
ak. ''.And in the past it was cheaper."
When it was first implemented,
the fee was 20 dollars and it paid
for the RECs that represented 30
percent of the college's use.
"In 2010, they raised it co 85
dollars co cover 100 percent of the
electricity use," said Dvorak. "That
was cocally·student led." The fee itself is voluntary and
one has the choice co ope out. Ac­
cording co the Green Power Initia­
tive page on the school's website,
"We were able to go
out and find varying
prices and options
for us for renewable
energy certificates
and we presented
those to ASLC last
year and got feed­
back from students
on which structure
we should [use] and
what fit the intent
and the values of
the green fee when
it was originally
started." 95 percent of students ani;1ually
pay the fee.
"The fee initially goes co just
buying those renewable energy cer­
tificates and then what we found
was our electricity use had gone
down, our enrollment and our par­
ticipation had gone up, so we had
chis place where we were getting
more money than we expected and
we needed less money co offset our
electricity use because (it] had been
going down for the lase five or six
years," said Dvorak.
That's when the surplus accu­
mulated.
"What we had was this surplus
for the first rime in chat green en­
ergy fee," said Dvorak. "So some
students put together a legislation
co create a fund committee co help
figure out ~hat co do with the re­
maining money and also establish
the fund based on the surplus so it
would be related co sustainability."
With the extra money available,
students have the opportunity co
apply for grants co fund sustain­
ability related projects. There is an application students must fill out
to win a mini grant of $1,000 or
less, a mid-sized grant of $1,001
to $10,000, or a mega grant of
$10,001 to $50,000. Only under­
graduate students are eligible to ap­
ply.
"When they first created the
fee, they were just thinking about
purchasing the renewable energy
certificates, they weren't even envi­
sioning a world where you would
have more money than you could
spend," said Dvorak.
The surplus was never as big
as it is now. It is parcly due to lase
year's larger class size and a higher
participation lase year, as well as the
65 dollar increase.
As a result, "we were able to go
out and find varying prices and op­
tions for us for renewable energy
certificates and we presented those
to ASLC lase year and got feedback
from students on which structure
we should [use] and what fie che in­
tent and the values of the green fee
when it was originally started," said
Dvorak. "And so through doing that,
we were able to gee a cheaper price
on the certificates which made the
fund even bigger."
Different energy providers were •
scoped out to gee options for pric­
ing and location of projects. When
cheaper companies were found,
more money was sec aside ro be a
pare of student projects ..
"We got this website up and the
application in place at the end of
spring term lase year," said Dvorak.
"Now the goal is to get as much
student feedback and enthusiasm
and have that provide the opportu­
nity for additional projects that re­
ally make sense and that are really
well supported by students."
Now all chat awaits is more ap­
plicants.
. "This is a student empower­
ment opportunity to gee the ser­
vices, the projects and the oppor­
tunities. This is for the students,
about the students, [and] all done
by students," said Dvorak. "It's a
pretty big fund that's available, so
the more the merrier."
Law students lead the way to
campaign finance reform
BY RACHELLE HANSON
Staff Writer
Mallorie Grehn and J .J. Eng­
land are rwo individuals who genu­
inely embody Mahatma Gandhi's
famous words, "Be the change you
wish co see in the world".
These Lewis & Clark second
year law students saw che issue of
campaign financing as a dire flaw
in American politics and cook ac­
tion by creating an online grass­
roots movement, $3 For Change.
Both Grehn and England, as
law students, are familiar with rul­
ings and Supreme Court decisions,
such as Citizens United, which
deal with the issue of campaign fi­
nancing.
• Through internships for politi­
cians and working on various cam-paigns in New Jersey, Wisconsin
and here in Oregon, each has also
gotten a firsthand glimpse into a
world where according to England
"wealthy donors ace as puppeteers
pulling the strings" when it comes
to political agendas. Early in their
political careers, both students
agree fully that finance reform is
"quite simply, one of the most im­
portant and intractable issues of
• " our nme.
Less than 30 days ago, after
hearing an online statement made
by President Barack Obama en­
dorsing campaign finance reform,
inspiration struck.
That night, they created a
website designed to target spe­
cific candidai:es who, like Presi­
dent Obama, publically endorse
campaign finance reform. People were then encouraged to donate
$3 dollar "money bombs" direccly
to these candidates, showing their
support. According to Grehn, the
"Both students
agree fully that fi­
nance reform is
'quite simply, one
of the most impor­
tant and intrace­
able issues of our
time.' Less than 30
days ago, after hear­
ing a statement by
Obama .. .inspiration
struck." goal of their $3 For Change pro­
gram "is co give people a means to
send a message."
Another point emphatically
stressed by Grehn during our in­
terview was the desire to keep this
grassroots online movement entire­
ly bipartisan.
She and England both believe
that neither the political agendas
of republicans nor those of demo­
crats have any chance of being ad­
dressed while big corporations are
using their campaign donations as
a means to promote their own self­
ish interests. Mose importantly, for
$3 For Change is the "matter of
bringing the agenda back co what
the voters actually want and care
about".
As the program is less than a
month old and is already gaining a good deal of support and media
exposure, Grehn and England are
both optimistic when looking into
the future. Iri the days preceding
the election this November, $3 For
Change will continue to try and
raise awareness and support sur­
rounding the issue of campaign
finance reform, and if the first 30
days are any indicator, will be very
successful in their efforts.
Grehn and England also both
expressed interest in teaming up
with an undergraduate student
who has a concern for politics and
is technically skilled in social media
and web development.
Those with any interest in intern­
ing/or $3 For Change are invited to

OPINION
Eating up pseudoscience: hysteria over maize
BY CALEB DIEHL
Staff Writer
Your food is eating you. According to
some environmental activists and granola­
eaters, your food is draining years from your
life and smiting you with fatal diseases. Even
worse, the food is controlled by massive cor­
porations who derive profit from our species'
pain. Generically modified food is easier and
cheaper to produce than organic alternatives.
Bue it might give you cancer.
A French study recently found that ge­
netically engineered corn caused cancer in
rats. Almost all corn in the United Scares is
genetically enhanced. Corn is also in almost
every modern food, so a concerned public
reasoned char carcinogens muse also be in
almost every modern food. The experiment
promptly incited panic.
The French scientists, however, hardly de­
serve their ride. Their methods were riddled
with inaccuracy and carelessness. The con­
trol group, for instance, was comprised only
of l O male and 10 female rats and was signif­
icantly smaller than rhe exper(menral group.
With large numbers, a discrepancy between
the number of subjects in each group is not
an obstacle ro statistical resting. Ten or 20
individuals, however, cannot create a large
enough sample ro allow the experimenters ro
generalize their results ro larger populations.
The study also used a variety of mice that
dominate cancer research because of their
tendency ro develop large rumors. Even
though experimenters recorded in a pa­
per published in The Journal of Food and
Chemical Toxicology thar "30% control
males (three in rocal) and 20% females (only
two) died spontaneously, while up ro 50%
males and 70% females died in some groups
on diets containing the GM maize," inade­
quate variability prohibits the experimenters
from generaljzing these results ro wider pop­
ulations without encountering resistance.
This is also science. Phrases like "some groups" and "only two or three" expose the
immaturity of the researchers' argument.
There isn't just "some" difference between
matter and energy or gravity on Earth and
in space.
The imprecise scientists managed ro raise
alarm with nothing other than single, de­
clarative sentences. They concluded that the
GM corn contained roxic ingredients, but
observed that, "The race of mortality was nor
proportional ro the treatment dose." So if
I gee a lot of arsenic inro my system, that's
probably better than just a little. Eat up your
arsenic just like your generically enhanced
vegetables.
The French should nor be celling us how
ro grow our corn. In America, we have entire
stares devoted ro growing corn, scares whose
only claim ro ignificanr achievement is the
production of corn. And if the roxicicy of
GM foods actually decreases as we eat more
of them, chat's an American solution. We
have most of the global obese population.
I don't really care if the science.was bad. I
don't care if lllY food might allow cancer ro
fester and knock years off my life. Because
of the proliferation of modern scientific re­
search, everything can give us cancer. The
sun has that mysterious power. So do plastic
water boccies, and maybe even soda.
One our of every two men will probably
develop cancer in chei,r lifetime, so accept it.
Cancer is almost inevitable. You might as
well enjoy your cancer-free time allotment
by soaking up the sun and eating the food
you wane.
Another problem arises when we concern­
place the face char we wouldn't even have rhe
chance ro develop cancer unless a giant in­
dustrialized superstructure fed us all. le has
about seven billion other people ro feed, and
it doesn't even accomplish that cask. Even
ostensibly organic foods are processed in
industrial complexes with methods that en­
vironmental advocates could question. Or­
game farmers cannot compete in the market
WOE IS ME
STUDENTS VS. OLCC
BY JAKE BARTMAN
Opinion Editor
You know, without the OLCC, we'd all
be dead in pool of vomit. Thank God they
managed ro snatch all the fake IDs chat they
did. If they hadn't, there would be teenag­
ers drinking all over the place, like we were
in France, or England, or Germany, or Nor­
way, or Spain, or Icaly, or any given Latin
American country, or -well, you gee the
idea. Without vigorous persecution of un­
derage drinkers, we jusr wouldn't~<: living in
America anymore (which, as we all know is
the Land of the Free and the Home of rhe
Brave).
Bur, in all seriousness, I have ro admit: I
wonder about those OLCC agents. I won­
der what they think about as they write $200
rickets for a 20 year-old walking back from
a parry with a BAC of .08. Are they hap­
py about it? Do they genuinely think that
they're doing a good deed?
It's hard ro say. Certainly they would
point ro the face that our community has
only seen two hapless parcygoers shipped off
ro the hospital for over-imbibing this year,
as though the definition of "preventative ac­
tion" is writing drunk kids tickers so char
they'll be smart enough ro drink and drive
the next rime they go ro a parry. Certainly
writing rickets teaches college srudenrs char
drinkjng is wrong and that they ought ro
grow up ro be grouchy cops who don't break but merely exploit the law, which is clearly a
much better way ro have fun on weekends,
and ro make some money, roo.
I chink the Opinion piece that graced
lase week's News section makes all this ex­
ceedingly clear. The article ought also ro be
praised for elucidating just how in the wrong
srudenrs are when they choose ro imbibe
before age 21: that drinking places one not
only in violation of national, state and lo­
cal laws, but even in violation of the code
of conduce they chemselve sign on entering
college, makes clear that drinkjng is an un­
speakable sin. le should have been obvious ro
anyone who signed the form that drinking is
highly immoral and that one cannot hope ro
preserve a scrap of integrity while doing so.
o, the heart of the issue is this: drinking
doesn't suddenly go from immoral ro moral
when one turns 21, thanks ro an arbitrary
law handed down from on high. The alco­
holic who chooses ro drink instead of buy­
ing food for his family may be immoral, bur
ir' hard to say the same of a college student
sipping a beer on a arurday night with a
few friends. What's been lose in the debate
inspired by the OLCC shir-srorm is recogni­
tion of the amusingly obvious idea that mo­
rality is not black and white, even if the law
is involved. Unless both parties can approach
the issue with this in mind, progress can't be
made, and further discussion is pointless and
irrelevant, just like NASCAR or the presi­
dential debates. if they fail ro modernize their methods. No
one i our there plowing fields with a horse,
harvesting the produce with their family and
crusted friends and stocking it by hand on
your grocery score shelves.
The latest medical scare has managed to
lavish even more attention on pseudo-sci­
entists who rormenr the infallibly ignorant
public with unsupported theories. Images
and sound bites released by the study have
circulated endlessly on the internet, the pur­
veyor of rabid stupidity, and allowed con­
sumers ro easily waste energy that could have
been spenr on finding deeper facts.
A number of complex health issues prob-ILLUSTRATION BY ALINA LARSON
ably reside within GM food. But our food
production and distribution systems have
seen no unconaollable epidemics, no apoca­
lyptic scenarios. The real faces cake rime and
effort ro surface. As a society eeking ro re­
sponsibly feed a rapidly inAacing population,
we cannot allow convenience samples and
internee trends to define the science of the
future.
Editor's note: Several news sources including
the Chiccago Tribune have since challenged the
French scientists mentioned.
Social media:
so what?
BY ZIBBY PILLOTE
Editor-in-Chief
I am really sick of hearing about social
media. I use it every single day, I check Face­
book, Twitter and lnstagram on my phone
between classes and the second I wake up. I
guess you could say I have some sort of ad­
diction, but the thing is, I know I'm not the
only one.
Our generation is one bred by social me­
dia. We are conditioned ro know the mun­
dan~ derails on one another's lives. We are
inexplicably curious about what someone
ate for lunch. We are hopeless slaves ro pixels
and 140-character blurbs. And many issues
char permeate our society can be linked ro
our addiction ro media-obesity, shorter at­
tention spans, messed up sleeping patterns,
the rapid decline in an interest in paper me­
dia, the list goes on and on.
And while this may seem bad, or scary, or
like the earth is shacterLng and the sky is fall­
mg because kids "don't read books," I think it
is kind of cool. I mean, I think I turned out
okay. I go to a good school, have a decent so­
cial life and have managed somehow to have
jobs and internships. I still read newspapers, -,
•Mm.~
in fact, I read 7he Pioneer Log in its enrirecy
at lease twice before it hits newsstands, and l
don't have any trouble sleeping at night.
Society's phobia of new media is un­
founded and boring. Social media allows
users ro connect instantly about current
events-Wednesday night's debate, for ex­
ample. I couldn't warch, but I was able ro
follow the events throughout thanks ro my
Facebook and Twitter feeds. And when the
Pioneer Express broke down last weekend, l
wasn't left in rhe dust because I follow rhe
bus on Twitter.
Ir is true that you have ro be careful about
what you post, and char you should be aware
char your Twitter is mosr likely the first thing
char comes up when someone Googles you,
bur this houldn'r stop you or discourage you
from raking advantage of social media. My
summer internship? I found ir on Twirrer.
My summer job? ame thing.
In my opinion, social media is a grear way
ro ler your colors show while still maintain­
ing a respectable image. This medium knows

Cheating: whose fault is it, really?
BY KATRINA STAAF
Staff Writer
According to councless testimonials and
a seemingly unlimited amount of research,
cheating has become a pervasive epidemic in
high schools and colleges across the United
Scates. These anecdotes and findings parricu­
larly point to a cu1ture of academic dishon­
esty in affiuenc private high schools, which
continues to influence graduates of such
schools as they embark upon their college
careers. Cheating throughout high school is
hardly a strange concept, since studenrs are
inherencly encouraged co compete with one
another in the hopes of gaining admission
An open letter from
the students
of the
Divest Coal
Campaign
Dear President Glassner,
On behalf of the Lewis & Clark Divest
Coal Campaign, we thank you for consid­
ering our request to meet with you. We are
looking forward to speaking with you about
ensuring that our ·endowment investments
uphold the college's commitment to respon­
sible practices in issues of ecology, economy,
and equity.
Currencly, the coal industry is the single
greatest emitter of greenhouse gases, and
linked to severe matters of public health-in
2009, researchers with Physicians for Social
Responsibility linked coal pollution to four
our of five of the leading causes of death in
the U.S. Addirionally, coal companies often
exerr a disproportionate share of their nega­
tive impacts on low-income and minority
communities. The need for action to address
these issues of di mace change and environ­
mental justice has never been more urgent.
LC has taken significant action to address
environmental problems in recent years,
culminating in, among other achievements, co their colleges of choice. I felc chac com­
petition-induced cheating was a prominent
issue at my New England public high school
because there is such a large concentration
of colleges in the regiot?; multiple qualified
students from the same high school will ap­
ply to the same prestigious college, bur the
college will only accept a limited quantity of
students from each high school. From this
perspective, the pressure on high school stu­
dents to outdo each other (even in the small­
est ways) is immense.
Bur the issue is far greater at private
secondary school institutions, based on
what I've heard from friends who attended
elite college preparatory boarding schools. Though many public school students are
college-bound, most private school attend­
ees aspire coward the Ivy League or presti­
gious liberal arcs colleges. There is also an
alleged attitude of enticlement in these
schools, in that a number of students ex­
pect an automatic advantage in the college
admissions process solely due to the great
reputations of their private high schools.
While college populations obviously con­
tain graduates of both public and private
high schools, a study by the Ad Council and
Educational Testing Service indicates that
the latter demographic cannot shed the dis­
honest tactics that have become second na­
ture: 75 ro 98 percent of students who cheat

in college developed the habit at competitive
high schools.
Ac LC, public school graduates com­
prise a majority of the student population,
which hopefully means that most students
have nor felt particularly compelled to cheat
during their academic careers. Furthermore,
LC is a private college with a rigorous honor
code intended ro promote the importance
of learning for the sake of learning. As with
any college, some students will do anything
co get ahead. Bur to my delight, I've encoun­
tered few individuals who do not share in the
universal liberal arts aspiration coward true
education; competition is for the confused.
our recognition by the Sierra Club as one of
the mosr sustainable schools in the country.
These are encouraging signs, bur as the coal
industry continues its egregious practices
with liccle incentive for accouncability, there
is much more we can do to further our prog­
ress as an environmentally conscious institu­
tion. There is no better opporcunity for our
school to demonstrate its leadership than to
rake action now and divest coal in favor of
environmentally and socially responsible al­
ternatives. Response to "Like a Bosse" in issue 1
As active campus community members,
we are dedicated co implementing sustain­
ability practices in all university operations.
By withdrawing financial support from the
coal industry and reinvesting in innovative
alrernacives, LC can set a strong and sym­
bolic precedent that no other college in the
nation has yet achieved. By ensuring chat
our college endowment funds are coal-free,
we have the opporcunity to demonstrate real
leadership in sustainability initiatives and
catalyze a systemic transition coward smarter
investment options for campuses across the
country.
We are excited about the prospect of
working with you co ensure that the college
exercises positive and sustainable investment
practices and look forward to hearing from
you to schedule a meeting about this press­
ing issue.
Sincerely,
Students of the Divest Coal Campaign at
Lewis & Clark Thank you for calling attention to the
lack of an online news source specifically de­
signed for students.
As you mention, The Source is designed
co keep faculty and staff up to dare about
important campus news and events. While
it contains a lot of information faculty and
staff need to know because we work here,
it also delivers nice-co-know content char
informs us about our colleagues and offers
ways for us to connect with the Lewis &
Clark community. The Source also eliminates
email overload, and exists to generally make
life easier for all employees.
So while there are many reasons faculty
and staff need their own news source, you
are absolutely right char studenrs have the
same need.
To this end-your ears must have been burning-the Office of Public Affairs and
Communications and the Office of the
Dean of Students are currencly working to
develop a site similar co The Source thar·gath­
ers news and events, announcements and
other pertinent information specifically for
students. We have hired students co research
best practices on how ro have better means
of communication at a college like ours. Ad­
ditionally, these students will help design the
new site, with the goal of purring together
content in a dynamic and helpful format.
If anyone is interested in helping create
the new sire or offering feedback when we
launch a beta version, please email sdife@
ldark.edu.
We appreciate your diligence as a reporter
and hope this helps shed some light on this
important matter.
Thank you and keep writing!
Best,

Inspired by a love for Seattle and screen printing, Mali Smith recently helped launch
the shirt company Urban Phlight. Beyond making profit, Smith hopes to recover some
student debt with the project and eventually do the same for others.
Tell us a little bit about the start
of Urban Phlight.
I have chis friend [Carly] from
high school who I used to do a
lot of screening with. We'd do it
really casually, like the first screen
we ever did we built che screen
ourselves and it was really shitty.
We were using chis tiny saw and
random stuff we found in her ga­
rage ... It was really rickety. But
[we were] just kind of experi­
menting wich what we could do
ourselves ... One of che things we
ended up making, I chink eicher
our last year of high school, or
freshman or sophomore year in
college when we were both home
over the summer, were the 206
shirts, which is the eattle area
code, with the hand [silhouettes].
It turned out really well [and] we
were really happy wich that de­
sign. We didn't really chink about
it for a long time, [until] recent­
ly. .. This summer we were hang­
ing our and she was like, "I really
want to start a shirt company."
And I was like "Ye.tll, I want to be
a part of chat." And we did.
How does your personal interest
in style and clothing influence
the line?
I thi~k chat's originally why we
liked making stuff -we could
make it and then we could wear
it. It was something that was
unique, it wasn't something char
was our there already, which I like
the idea of.
What was the inspiration for
the design?
We really love Seattle. I chink
we're fond of really anyone loving
where chey come from, which i
why we liked che idea of a whole line of shirts. But we really love
Seattle. And so kind of repping
your city is a fun idea to us. And
yeah, [Carly] was like "What if we
made shirrs wich 206 our of che
silhouet~ of hands?" And we did
it.
What ways are you trying to
promote your line within the
city you love?
We're trying to send a shirr to
Macklemore because we're big
fans of his... In high school,
we first scarred listening to his
sruff, when he was doing chese
little tiny shows, still kind of a
no-name guy. So that kind of
epitomizes my youch in Seattle.
Because he's gotten so huge in Se­
attle recen rly, and he's become not
only a really famous musical artist
he's become sore of a tyle icon as
well, we thought it'd be awesome
if we sent him a shirr, and if he'd
wear it that'd be spectacular. So I
actually sent him a Facebook mes­
sage, because he does nor have a
physical address. Back in che day
you used to be able to get their
fan mail address and send· chem
whatever you want, and these
days chat's just nor how it works.
So now we first have to work on
getting his attention, which I'm
sure a lot people are trying to do
char right now. If we get his ad­
dress we'd love to get him a shirr
and see bim rep it. I feel like he
would be down wich our mission
and our shared love of Seattle.
How would you react if you saw
him wearing one of your own
shirts?
I'd probably freak our. I'd be so
stoked. He's awesome. I think he's
a really fantastic human being. One of the things I really like
about your website is how
you're open with how you hope
to spend the profit. Could you
tell us a little more about that?
Ocher chan the fact chat people
like to make money, one of the
big reasons we are hoping to be
successful in chis endeavor is we're
boch students... [and] we both
have quite a bit of sruden~ loans.
We're hoping if chis is successful
enough ir'U help us get out from
under chose and do what we want
to do after school without being
crushed by debt... So I haven't
really had an outsider's perspec­
tive of, 'Oh, wow I like chis mes­
sage' or 'I like this.' I'm waiting to
hear char respon e still. The hope
is that eventually if we [are] suc­
cessful [with] chis we'll be able to
take what the busines will hope­
fully do for us and give ·char back
to ocher people. The hope is that
we'd be able to do, I guess it's nor
a scholarship, bur a debt repay­
ment plan for ~rudents chat are
getting out in the future, and be
able to help chem.
That's crazy ambitious.
Yeah, no it really is. And it's kind
of silly to chink about now when
we haven't gotten out of the red
yet, bur it would be really cool.
And l think it's cool to have a goal
in mind like that, ocher chan just,
"Lee's make a lot of money," bur
"Lee's make a lot of money and do
something good wich it."

Wondering
what to do
with that that
eggplant you
stole from the
Bon? Put it to
use in baba
ghanouj! Why must Pioneers pay so much to park?
BY KEVIN RYAN
Staff Write,
Baba ghanouj is at the heart of Middle
Eastern cuisine; it is an appetizer for almost
every meal, usually chilled and accompanied
by pica. Baba ghanouj roughly uanslaces co
"Eggplant Puree." Yes, it is usually spelled
with an "sh" at the end, but chat sound is ac­
tually further from the actual pronunciation,
which works better in an Am~rican tongue
with a "j."
This eggplant dip is extremely popular;
I can see why, given char it combines salty,
bitter, smoky, nutty and acidic flavors. Baba
ghanouj truly showcases all possible aspects
of an eggplant, and almost everyone has a
different opinion on how co make it: some
claim you must roast the eggplant on a grill,
ochers swear by adding paprika, the list goes
on. Like all good ethnic dishes, every family
makes jt a little bit differently.
The main ingredient in baba ghanouj is
eggplant. Since they are a member of the
berry family, eggplants become more bit­
ter as they grow, due co the accumulation
of more seeds. A little bitterness is good in
a baba ghanouj, but coo much can mess it
up completely. Medium sized eggplants with
taut skin indicate perfect ripeness for making
baba ghanouj. Tahini (roasted sesame paste)
is also very important when making proper
baba ghanouj. Ir's easy co find in most gro­
cery scores, usually in the ethnic foods aisle.
Finally, a food processor, blender or mortar
and pestle is ideal for mixing. l have all of
these items, but here I make it old school
with just a bowl and a wooden spoon. Ingredients:
-1 medium-w-l.1rgc eggplant
-1 kmon. juiced
-2 garlic cloves. minced
-3 rable;poons cahini paste
-11/~ teaspoons kosher salt.

-2 tahlespoons extra virgin olive oil.

Law school welcomes
Distinguished Visiting
Animal Advocate
BY BEAU BROUGHTON
Features Editor
Last week the Center for Animal Law
Studies at Lewis & Clark welcomed its first
Distinguished Visiting Animal Advocate to
campus. President and CEO of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty co Animals Los
Angeles (spcaLA), Madeline Bernstein spoke
at various animal law courses, as welJ as at
the Oregon Humane ociety while in Port­
land.
Bernstein, who has at least two decades of
experience in the field of animal protection,
also serves as an invaluable resource for chose
looking to jump into nonprofit manage­
ment. Bernstein shared some of her tips with
the Animal Law LLM seminar class during
her visit. She also shared recommendations
for anybody looking co become profession­
ally involved in the animal protection move­
ment and had some advice to share with 7he
Pioneer Log for any undergraduates looking
at law school and the nonprofit sector after
graduation.
"There's no privacy in running a non­
profit. You might as well walk out there na­
ked," claimed Bernstein, in chat nonprofits are inherently dependent on public support
and funding co maintain success. "You be­
come the property of the public."
As for the utility of an education in law,
Bernstein stated, "Anybody can look up a
law. Law school separates you from the aver­
age person because it teaches you how co be a
superior thinker." No matter your profession
after graduation, Bernstein promises "you're
going co be better [at it] because of your law
degree."
For chose undergraduate students who
may be looking co attend law school and
work in the nonprofit seccor, Bernstein noces
chat the critical chinking and excellent writ­
ing and reading skills encouraged by a liberal
arts education are highly valued. Regarding
social media and privacy, Bernstein surpris­
ingly does not recommend posting pictures
of yourself naked with a beer can. "Why? Be­
cause it's there forever."

Cars are one of rhe most expensive pos­
sessions we will ever purchase. According
co the 2010 Consumer Expenditure Report,
the average cosc of owning a car is $7184 a
year. This includes purchase, fuel, insurance,
maintenance and ocher coses related co own­
ing a vehicle. ongs by Wiz Khalifa, Merrie
and Pink Floyd have mentioned the paradox
of owning a car co gee co work and having a
job co pay for the car. It's a cyclical financial
battle.
At Lewis & Clark, the irony increases,
as employees must purchase parking per­
mits. Students and employees pay the same
for parking on can1pus. This seems fair, buc
also suang~. On the one hand, every single
parking place is held equal, with the excep­
tion of reserved parking spaces, which can be
$660 a year. On the ocher hand, the people
driving co school for work are paying just
as much as the people who are coming co
school to receive the education they fund
simultaneously. There is free coffee in the
break room, free access co computers and of­
fice equipment and there is even the oppor­
tunity once in awhile for employees co cake
classes ac discounted rates, yet parking stays
expensive.
Lewis&Clark
College I LC is by no means the only inscicucion
char charges their employees for parking. Ac
Portland State University, staff, faculty and
administrators pay monthly fees for parking
costing between $113 for a general parking
pass and $201 for a reserved space.
Conversely, employees at University of
Portland, including outside employees such
as Barnes & Noble and Bon Apperic employ­
ees, park for free.
Ac PSU there is more opporrw1ity for on
street parking downtown; however, there is
no colerance for on street parking around the
UP.
According co Reed's web ire, cars have ro
be registered, bur there is no information re­
garding parking permits (and in my experi­
ence parking as an outside employee, I have
very seldom received parking violations).
Of course chis does nor include the sum­
mer, when parking is free. Some employ­
ees drive in the summer and then attempt
co switch co a bike or bus commute for as
long as possible co avoid parking fees. Ocher
employees "risk it" by parking and praying
that they don't come back ro their car with
a slip-chis is a highly practiced ritual by
chose who are lace co work and therefore coo
flustered co search for a daily parking pass
machine. 9
Q&A

ANNA
GONZALEZ
The Pioneer Log sat down with the new Dean of
Students to talk about everything from her take
on the food offerings at Lewis & Clark to
residency requirements to her long-term goals,
including those rumors about a pub on campus.
BY BEAU BROUGHTON
Features Editor
The Pioneer Log: How will your past experiences at
other institutions lend to your work at Lewis & Clark?
Anna Gonzalez: Almost 20 years as a professional student
affairs staff member has really helped me get to know stu­
dents on different levels. It informs me in three ways. One is
chat I've learned to be able to appreciate the different com­
munities on a campus. There isn't one identity, and [I've
learned to] appreciate thac. The second piece is that ... I've
learned how to assess that effectively: noc just to listen co one
group, but to proaccively go out and u e different tools of as­
sessment. The third piece is then to actually use that knowl­
edge co make change. And change doesn't have co be big. I
came from big universities. And often times what I appreci­
ate is that change doesn't have co be big co make an impact,
and I'm learning that here.
I'm crying co make those litcle change that seem so little
yet so important. The Pioneer Express comes in at 7:06, the
Bon clo es at 7, and it's just depres ing co see the student go,
"I missed dinner!" So can we extend che Bon co be open until
7: 15? You know, it seems so small, bur how do we go about
making rho e small bur meaningful changes?
What are your primary goals as Dean of Students?
This year [I'm still] listening and learning, looking at
what are che needs of che campus, and in particular, our stu­
dents. And then advocating for those needs. o the shore­
term goals would be looking at che food and the food ser­
vice, and ... looking at judicial processes. How transparent
is the process for students? I've heard students wanting to
know just what the judicial process is about. And specifi­
cally with sexual assault issues, the new Title CX. So how do
we become good advocates for students, bur also have a fair
system for everyone? So I'm bringing in three colleagues in
Novemeber to look at our allies and advocacy program and
the judicial program. The third goal is looking ac ... how
well-prepared are our students for life after Lewis & Clark?
In your senior year are you prepared co [leave]? I'm not sure
we're doing as good a job as we can with chat. Those are my
three hon-term goals.
[ wane our srudencs to feel like they have a place and a
voice in the deci ions that we make. I'm just learning how I
can go about doing that.
What is your favorite thing about Lewis & Clark stu­
dents? How have your prior thoughts and assumptions
about the student body changed after working with us for
some time?
Oh, I love the students! The students told me, when I
interviewed [for this position], that they're really chill. And
I said, "Really? Thar's great." It's only week four and you are
all busy! I'm happy co say you are highly engaged, motivated
student leaders. Students here rake the initiar.ive co do things
and to lead. Ir's fascinating co me. eriously, there are things
going on every day, and if it's nor on campus they know how
co gee down the hill co Pordand and other places. I love char!
I'm like, "Oh my gosh!" I'm a little surprised, because when
they interviewed me [the students] were like, "Oh, we relax,
we cake walks at Tryon." I mean, I rake a hike at Tryon!
Ir's just fascinating how engaged students are. Students
have a serious ownership, like the paper _is a student-run
paper and the radio station is a student-run radio station. I
don't think people know that about private schools. THE PIO EER LOG
FEATURES
How can the student body improve its own on-campus
experience?
I think there's rwo ways. One is char, I feel like as admin­
istrators, we need ro be present co remind students co talk ro
us. I put the onus on me and on my colleagues and my own
staff It's not always easy to make change, bur we can cell you
how you can do that on your own or however you want co.
I chink students should also gee co know comminees, and
their representatives on committees. For example, we have
ASLC. We have a Sustainability Council that has student
representatives. I hope that these student representatives will
[do] outreach co other students. Bur if nor, I hope that stu­
dents go co their representatives, because they're representing
their voice. As administrators we sometimes can't gee out co
all 2,000 people, so we Look co the few elected folk.
What were your motivations for living on campus?
I love it! Every administrator should live on campus
[laughs]. We're a residential campus. Our first rwo years of
students have co live on campu . I wanted co know what life
i like here on the hill. I wanted co gee a sense of what hap­
pens, what goes on. You know, different people cell me, bur I
wan red co see it. Parr of me was r.his lack of disbelief. Part of
me was like, "What? What do you mean there's no place co
get a coffee until noon on undays?" They were right. Bur the
motivation [co live here] was the students themselves.
The Pioneer Express is great when it runs. Ir's highly
packed and dangerously filled Friday evenings and Saturdays,
so we're tracking usage and !erring Facilities know. During
the peak hours, how much would it rake co add a small bus?
I would have heard about it, bur it would have been hard for
me co really see it if I didn't live on campus. Ir's been a great
experience. Ir's been really fun. I'm gonna miss it [when I
move off campus].
What is your favorite thing about Portland?
I love Pordand! I'm a foodie, so I first have co say that [my
favorite thing]_ is the different foods. And you don't have co
be rich co cry all kinds of food in Portland. Thar's what I love,
that the food is so accessible. You can gee cheap bur good
ears.
I love the vibrancy. I love that there's music in every cor­
ner. There's always something going on. Portland is great
in the summer, and I kept wishing that students were there
in the summer. I love the different neighborhoods of Port­
land and wish char our students could see all of rhe different
neighborhoods because they're all just so different from one
another.
Now that we're done with summer, what are you look­
ing forward to most this coming school year?
I'm really excited co see ... eleven more weeks of student­
led events just throughout the fall, and throughout the rest of
the academic year. I'm more curious than excited co see how
students really balance academic life and this heavily engaged
co-curricular life. Because I think that's where, as Dean of
Students, I need co step in and figure out how to help them
if they need the help.
Student affairs is having four foci this year-wellness, aca­
demic and leadership development, co-curricular learning,
and diversity-and how do we do it all? Where are we suc­
cessful and on what points do we need co improve? OCTOBER 5, 2012

Where do you see Lewis & Clark in 10 years?
In 10 years I'd like co see Lewis & Clark College as the
campus that answers why liberal arts is important. Thar's ac­
tually one of the reasons I applied [co chis position]. I grad­
uated from liberal arts colleges for my undergrad, masters
and PhD, so I'm very liberal arcs-minded and I knew what it
meant for me as a student. I think it many ways I'm a better
humanise with my liberal arts experience. I think I'm a criti­
cal thinker. I question a lot. "Sorry, I ask a lot of questions,
I'm from the liberal arcs." Thar background is in me and I
learned that through all of that rime in a liberal arcs educa­
tion. I think it's important [co see] why it's important for me
and why it's important for the world. 10 years from now, our
students' successes and what our students are doing will be
the answer to why the liberal arcs i important.
[ a k my staff this, coo. Why do you work at a liberal arcs
college when you can work any place else?
And what's this rumor of you wanting to have a pub on
campus? We can't leave without you talking about that!
l believe that if students live on campus, we will have a
more engaged student life. There are shared experiences that
happen on the campus. I also believe that we shouldn't force
people after their second year [co live on campus]. We need
co provide the students with an outlet co make really ma­
ture decisions. I trust the student , and I cru r that they'll
hold themselves accountable to make chose right decisions. 1
haven't mer a student here yet who hasn'r done that.
Because you're a student at Lewis & Clark, we need co
have better offerings of food and entertainment and activi­
ties, and one of those is a pub. Ir would increase safery. If
students live on campus and they drink here they can walk
home, and I don't have co worry if they're drinking and driv­
ing up and down the hill. There's staff here. Their peers are
here. I'm not blind co the fact char students drink. I think it's
a face char college students do. I think that in the right atmo­
sphere they can do it safely in a legitimate place on campus
if they are 21.
I don't know if it's gonna happen, bur I'm hoping, and I
put that as one of my suggestions for the food review con­
sultant co consider and see if it's possible on campus. I think
char it's a place char we can show responsible drinking. The
institutions that I [previously worked at] had pubs for the
faculty and staff and students and the community and it was
a nice, safe, normative environment. We need co treat people
like adults. [ just think it will help enhance student life.
We don't need co pretend to think you just drink Kool
Aid and lattes, we need co think about how we can provide a
safe place for [the students who choose co drink].

2mo THE PIONEER LOG FEATURES
BY ZIBBY PILLOTE
Editor-in-Chief
Since 1839, people have been
using photography as a means of
artistic expression. Through the
ages, it's evolved quite a bit-from
color processing ro Polaroid instant
film-and in our modern age it
seems anyone is qualified ro take a
picture of anything; our pockets are
the new camera bag, our fingers the
new shutter.
This evolucio_n took time, and
technology is still catching up with
itself. Everyday we are inundated
with new apps and ways to use our
camera, new models, designs and
updates to keep our eyes and fin­
gers occupied. The most popular of
these technologies is lnscagram.
Launched in October of 2010,
the photo-sharing social media app
was only available for iPhone; in
April of 2012 the app expanded
across devices ro include the An­
droid operating system. Soon, with
just a few taps of the touchscreen,
millions of users across the world
could be connected instantly.
So what? Can't we do these
things with Facebook or Twitter?
"On Facebook you have ro be
someone's friend already to have a
conversation with chem," said Lew­
is & Clark's Director ofNew Media
Morgan Grether. "With lnscagrarn
and location tags, you don't have to
have any connection to someone
to start to have a conversation with
them. And its not about your per­
sonality, its about a shared experi­
ence in Madrid or somewhere."
Grether has nearly 190,000 fol­
lowers on lnstagram, but he doesn't
do it for the fame. "You can have
actual, fun, meaningful conversa­
tions with people over a location,
or the artistic side of the photo-
grether
Powell's City of Books I •
graph," he said. "That can lead ro
real friendships."
With an abundance of filters,
borders and cropping options
available, cellphone photogra­
phers can manipulate their photos
in new and fun ways. Wane a blue
tint? Try Nashville. Want more
contrast? Hit Lo-Fi.
"lt is so fun ro have people
pushing themselves artistically,
wanting co push themselves ro be
creative, and having the rools to
have themselves make something
interesting," said Grether.
With the location cag feature,
added in 2012, it is easy ro find
users around you-even LC has
a tag. Each days, students, staff,
faculty and visitors upload images
from LC. The Manor House, dorm
rooms, river parties and Bon meals
have all been subject ro lnstagram
sharing. Where Twitter condensed
blogging (allowing users only 140
characters ro say what they mean),
Inscagram condenses our daily
happenings. Photos of the football
game can be taken, edited and dis­
persed ro multiple different social
media sites in a matter of seconds.
And there, immortalized forever in
pixels, is a memory-a connection.
The social media has proven to
be a valuable tool, especially for
college students.
"I chink a huge part of learning
is not in the classroom with a pro­
fessor. You go ro college and you
have places like Maggie's where you
can strike up a conversation with
people and just talk ro people­
there need ro be more spaces like
that at LC, where people are en­
couraged ro talk to one another.
There's no reason people at LC
shouldn't be connecting over [th\s
technology)."
"Students can benefit from it in
'.ztbbypill
2mo the same way they can benefit from
other social media-by staying
connected," said Rafaela Castaldo
('15). "I appreciate the simplicity
of it."
Inscagram encourages users ro
connect with each other. Follow­
ing a trend that Grether helped ro
scare, lnstagram "meet ups" happen
all over the world. Users are able
ro gather together and talk, pho­
tograph and share stories and skills
together.
"It's a no brainer... you're all
hanging out in the same city, why
not all meet up and take pictures
together?" said Grether. "We do
Portland meet ups ac least once a
month ... we walk around Portland
and it's a very social thing. We're
extending this social medium be­
yond the device."
Do meet ups have a future at
LC? With so many students snap­
ping photos and sharing chem
across the web, it is certainly pos­
sible. With lnstagram, students can
create social environments wher­
ever they go. Two students study­
ing in Wanek could share a photo,
realize they are experiencing the
same mid-term stress, and connect
over a study break. The possibilities
are endless.
Though lnstagram is limited ro
Anroid and Apple operating sys­
tems, the app is growing everyday,
and since its merger with Facebook
in April, opportunity for expan­
sion is endless. An lnscagram app is
even available for Google Chrome,
allowing users to scroll through
their feed while doing homework
or checking Facebook.
"The app itself is a social medi­
um, not just a rool ro push things

Last year, Olivia Erlanger ('12) birthed a thought child with
10 white walls and endless possibilities. After securing a gram
from the Student Academic Affairs Board (SMB), she was able
to construct these walls as an outdoor arr gallery exhibit below
the reflecting pond. The walls have also been used to imitate the
Berlin Wall in Templeton and were recognized as one of the top
three exhibits during Reed's Art Week last year according to Porr­
landart. net.
The walls, when serving as a gallery space, recontextualize the
artwork that takes up the white space. Instead of being in a gallery
indoors, where viewers are constricted co tracing rhe edges of a
square, these walls break the cube-you could make a room from
the walls, bur why would you need co?
The walls have been the source of many opportunities for arr
enthusiasts on campus. They have given more space to student
artists interested in holding shows and have given students who
wish to curate the opportunity to learn planning and placing arr
events.
The first [ 0 U T E R] Space show of the year will take place
today in the Carriage Circle and will mark the opening of the _
wall's shows on campus for the year. There is no stated theme,
just an inaugural show to get the year starred and artists excited.
Member Spencer Byrne-Seres (' 13) notes that the group hopes
to do two co three shows a semester, but is open co doing more
if other students and groups are interested in using the walls for
their presentations. So far, the group char works on [ 0 UT E R]
Space is comprised of art srudents from all four years, bringing
experience, excitement and ideas.
However, the walls cake a lor of work. They muse constantly
be maintained-sanded, spackled, painted, etc. The group is cur­
renrly looking to gee 10 more walls to keep up with the high de­
mand and success in sharing artwork all over Portland with stu­
dents and professional Portland artists. Essentially, these 4 x 8 ft.
walls open o many doors for all sores of people who can think of
a possible project that would benefit from free flowing walls char
can be easily transported. Ir's a revolutionary idea as far as outdoor
galleries go, especially for the Lewis & Clark campus, bur also the

What does one look
for in an off-campus cof­
fee shop? A few char­
accensncs immediately
come co mind. Finding a
venue chat delivers is an­
other story.
Nescled on the Ease­
side of our lovely city, a
scone's throw from the
Northside, sics Three Friends Coffee House
and Cafe, which epitomizes these five quali­
ties and boasts a weekly open mic: Caffein­
aced Arc is a Monday night special in which
locals can take Three Friends's humble stage
and show off their unique work.
So, whac is ic chat we are looking for?
I. An eclectic variety of beverages of­
fered-hopefully many of which contain a
healthy jolt of caffeine.
2. Background music in che indie sphere.
I am sorry but I do not appreciate the cud­
chewing rwang of country nor the womp
womp of dubscep.
3. Natural sunlight coupled with com­
fortable seating both in
and outside of the coffee
shoppe. It's a warm day, I'd
appreciate some outdoor
furniture co sprawl out on.
Realized you are in Port­
land? Comfy couches, arm
chairs co sink into or even
a Auffy liccle poof satisfies
me.
4. The wond.erful and oh-so-Pordand
hipster environment. Conversations can gee
a bit pretentious but at lease one good "un­
discovered" local band or anti-animal cruel­
ty, anti-corporate, super-fair trade brand of
coffee beans will be uncovered and enhance
your cultural palace.
Three Friends certainly delivers. As its
name implies, chis coffee shop was founded
with a personal and intimate atmosphere
in mind. The feel extends beyond Three
Friends's raff and is illustrated throughout
the venue: a wooden bar boasting a deli­
cious variety of teas, coffees, bagels, sand­
wiches and countless tasty treats (vegan and
gluten free produces available); comfortable,
living room furniture chat welcomes every­
thing from a comfortable study space co a
tantalizing snooze spot; sprawling glass win­
dows chat enhance even the limited winter
daylight; and of course the barstool knook
turned intimate stage for Three Friends's per­
formances.
Three Friends is perfect for a study space
and, homework permitting, you may even
catch one of their events. If you are looking
co gee off the hill buc stay in the snug sweat­
pants vibe of your

her tender display and her exqui­
site vocals to Portland's Friday
night Backspace crowd.
BY CHANDLER JOHNSON
Staff Writer
Those who arrived at Backspace early in the evening last
Friday may have had the pleasure of meeting Laura Marling,
a quiet, humble British folk singer whose stirring lyrics and
unerring vocals never cease to amaze.
Backspace's intimate, funky atmosphere served as the per­
fect setting for her performance. The crowd, many of them
Lewis & Clark students, all seemed jazzed to be at the perfor­
mance and received Marling with unconditional gratitude.
At one point, Marling briefly forgot the chords to her
song, and the crowd responded more like a community of
friends than an audience, singing out the lyrics for her and
laughing good-naturedly. One passionate fan even knew all
the chords to the song and was able to help her through. In
no time at all, she was back on track, her flawless voice com­
manding the awe of everyone who had been laughing along
with her moments earlier.
Marling's performance brought the sense of community
and awe to Backspace that we always search for in music.

Oum Oum Girls' new EP is
not the End of Daze, but cer­
tainly sets up their forthcom­
ing LP to bring audiences into
that dream-like stupor.
BY CJ MACLEOD
Staff Writer
At just 18 minutes in length, Oum Oum Girls'
new EP End of Daze is something of a pop gem:
shore and sweet with just a hint of melancholy. This
i surprising, as only four of the five songs on the
EP are Oum Oum originals-the fifth song being a
cover of Strawberry Switchblade's "Trees and Flow-
" ers.
Since their first self-citied EP in 2008, the Oum
Oum Girls' sound has matured from jangly fuzzed
out garage pop to Pretenders-meer-The-Jesus-and­
Mary-Chain sweetness.
That's not to say that the new EP is without fuzz;
cracks like "Season in Hell" are propelled forward
with angular riffs drenched in buzz saw like fuzz.
These louder, fuzzed out moments are often juxta­
posed by the mellifluous croon of the band's front
woman. With a signature sultry whisper, Dee Dee's
voice coats tracks like the lead single "Lord Knows"
in a saccharine smoothness, equal parts Chrissie
Hynde and Phil Spector-era girl groups.
This sweetness is in stark contrast to the melan­
choly that the song's lyrics stress. The EP's leadoff
crack "Mine Tonight" laments over a sinister bass
line, "I've dreamed a death/ it's mine tonight." En­
capsulating all of these elements, the EP works as a
perfect slice of modern day pop music: all at once
• sad, sweet, sinister and beautiful.
Though relatively brief, End of Daze demon­
strates the power of good pop music with its abil­
ity to lure the audience in and leave them wanting
more. With the five tracks on End of Daze standing

Welch po s Pios past Puget Sound
BY ANTHONY RUIZ
Sports Editor
The Pioneers lit up the Loggers
last week, racking up 600 yards en
route to earning their first confer­
ence victory of the season. Lead­
ing the charge for the Pioneers was
quarterback Keith Welch (' 14),
who scored seven touchdowns
and accounted for 367 total yards.
Through the first 24 games of his ca­
reer at Lewis & Clark, Welch has ac­
counted for a taggering 39 rushing
touchdowns and 38 passing touch­
downs.
Also putting up impressive num­
bers was second-year running back
Curtis Shirey, who rushed for a ca­
reer-high 210 yards and averaged
over ten yards per carry. While brief­
ly trailing 14-7 early in the game,
Shirey broke a 62-yard touchdown
run that squared things at 14 all. LC
overwhelmed Puget ound all day,
onJy punting rhe ball once.
After taking a 27-22 lead into
the fourth quarter, the Pioneers
caught fire, scoring 28 fourth quar­
ter points including one on their
final drive that clinched the game.
Late in the game, Puget Sound was
able to trim the lead to six, trailing
only 48-42. As a final shot, the Log­
gers attempted an onside kick, but
failed. The ball was recovered by se­

Game one against the Boxers

ens rugby games will be held in the spring.
The ream's fuse game is scheduled for Nov. 3
at Willamette. Their home games will cake
place right here at Griswold Scadiwn.
As for ch.is semester, their fuse scrimmage
is during homecoming weekend on Ocr. 27
and will feature the traditional "prom drest
rugby game, with players wearing funky
prom dresses while cackling the opposing
team.
Alix Finnegan ('14) and Jessica Alberg
('13) are the captains fur ch.is year's team.
Alberg described the ream as "a big, loud,
cough, but loving fumily." Rugby is an em­
powering span in which ceammaces really
bon<l with each ocher, and communication is
key because it can also be dangerous.
"What I love about our rugby team is chat it bring;; cons of girls together, girls who
wouldn't know each ocher normally, whether
chat's just because they're different majors or
in different circles. It also bring;; girls out of
their shells," explained Alberg. "It shows a loc
of girls how much strength they really have,
what they really can do."
Every sports team has their traditions and
riruals. Rugby is famous for its song;;, so the
women's team has a lot of song;; and cheers
chat they like co sing before games.
After games the home team also hosts
a gee together for both teams "where people
sing fun song;; and gee co ear and basically
dear the air so there's no bad blood," shared
Alberg.
Junior rugby player Mari McClenahan
would like all LC srudents to know how
much fun rugby is. "Ic's all about hanging
out with some super cool people, running
around, cackling in the mud, singing some
great rugby song;; and just having an awe­
some time." Make sure co check out a game
and suppon LC's women's rugby, or even

Over che course of the 20 l 2 MLB
season, many storylines have come and
gone. From the Miami Marlins' failure
to reverse their fortunes with free agen­
cy co the emergence of the Baltimore
Orioles as contenders, this season has
had ics surprises. One of these surpris­
es has been the playoff appearances of
both the San Francisco Giants and the
Oakland Athletics and che absence of
the Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels in
the poscseason. How did chis happen? roles they needed (the Giants got CF
Angel Pagan from the Mets and the
A's got RF Josh Reddick from che Red
ox). In che long term, this has paid off
for the Giants and A's, as their addi­
tions played well over che season, while
the Angels' and Dodgers' new players
were inconsistent. Dodgers lost a 7.5 game division lead
µue to poor production from the.rest of
the lineup. The Angels cried to adapt co
Pujols' early struggles (.217/.265/.304
in April) by calling up Mike Trout. For

a 10.4 WAR and was an all-scar. have. Bochy airers his scarring lineup
to accommodate for lefty vs. righty
macchups, player performance, etc.
He also manages his bullpen well,
keeping pitchers in for just the right
amount of time so chat they are nor
overworked. While Melvin has argu­
ably less to work with than Bochy, he
still finds ways to make it work. The
team may nor have a high batting av­
erage (.237), buc they have a relatively
high RISP average (.262, seventh best
in the AL). He puts together starting
lineups chat belp the A's put up a fight

The Angels signed Albert Pujols and

hancing drugs, manager Bruce Bochy
re-calibrated the offense. When the A's

son, manager Bob Melvin shifted the
lineup around, which resulted in the
A's getting to .500 at the all-scar break.
When things have not gone their way,

contracts without time for creating
team chemistry. Meanwhile, che Giants
made small deals chat barely affected
their payroll and gave the new players
time to adapt to the Giants' clubhouse.
Greinke has performed well for the An­
gels, bur he only has a 1.1 WAR, which
is not a dramatic reversal of fortune for
them. While the Dodgers and Angels
have struggled with their managers,
"blockbuster" trades and sudden ros­
ter changes, the Giants and A's have
made the playoffs with smart manag­
ing and small acquisitions. Things are

WHOWJIS FRANK MANOR?
Even the dumb students know that Lewis & Clark College used to be called Albany College. Back then we were in downtown Portland. But that
was pretty mainstream, so we decided to move to the SW, which back then was more like the NW is now, especially around Hawthorne. But none
of this would have been possible without the generosity of Frank Manor. Who was this forgotten legend? Two contributors debate his origins.

Frank Mannor(as he spelled his name for many years)

•50s TV Personalitv
In 1957, a man named Frank
Manners started a television show
in which he taught the people of
America proper manners. Due to
the nature of the crazy rock and
roll youth at the time, the Frank
Manners show was incredibly
unpopular. However, parents felt
that proper manners were slipping
away, and the Frank Manners Show
became an icon for parents trying to
get their children to stop listening
co that darn Elvis and start leaving
room for Jesus on the dance Aoor.
But sadly a scandal,
famously called the "spaghetti
incident," exposed Manners's wilder ide and ruined his career. Reports
vary on the incident, but all agree that a waiter, spaghetti, fire crackers,
15 pounds of scallops and the shocking words "gosh darn it" were all
involved. Manners was blacklisted from the manner television circuit
forever. It was then that he changed his name co Frank Manor co avoid
murderous fans and angry television executives. He then purchas~d the
house on Palantioe Hill from the College and lived out the rest of his days
in peace on our own college campus. Finally, when he passed, Lewis &
Clark repurchased his house for an academic building and the legend of
Frank Manners was lost... until now.
