Sparks fly in tense VP debate
BY CALEB DIEHL
Staff Writer
Lase Thursday at Centre College
in Danville, KY, Joe Biden finally
ignited the Democratic campaign
with scathing assaults and personal
appeals, while Paul Ryan sought to
reassure undecided voters that the
Republican cause carries reason
and purpose.
Biden contrasted Obama's aca­
demic introspection with brazen
questions. He said early in the
heated sparring that Ryan's state­
ments were "just a bunch of ma­
larkey."
Ryan responded with equal fer­
vor as he conjured apocalyptic for­
eign policy scenarios and crushing
domestic burdens. During a dis­
cussion of the timeline for inter­
vening in Iran's nuclear capabili­
ties, the congressman warned, "The
centrifuges are spinning faster."
Biden responded, "Lee's all calm down here."
The debate, held across an in­
timate table with both candidates
within easy reach of each other,
differed markedly from Governor
Romney and President Obama's
abstract policy discussions. The
topics moved inward from the
auto bailout to accidents involving
loved ones, tax policies to descrip­
tions of personal charity.
This fierce tontesr nevertheless
brimmed with tension and ani­
mosity. Biden satiated Democrats
by accusing Romney of the failures
that President Obama had failed to
discuss in depth previously. Biden
described the Republican ticker
as detached overseers who "bee
against America all the rime."
He particularly focused on
Romney's infamous dismissal of
the 47 percent of Americans who
he said are dependent on the gov­
ernment.
In response to the last attack, Ryan cooly retorted, "I think the
VP very well knows that sometimes
the words don't come our of your
mouth the right way."
Biden indeed stuttered and
stumbled over verbal tirades char
defined his outraged character.
Ryan countered with quiet intensi­
ty, bur the vice president's incredu­
lous laughter punctuated his slower
remarks.
Martha Raddatz of ABC News
moderated assertively but failed to
elicit significant agreements. She
noted that this was the first debate
featuring two Catholic candidates,
but that this common faith still led
each to opposing policy positions.
She asked both men to elucidate
their deeply personal stances on
abortion. Ryan said first that the
Obama administration is "infring­
ing on our fuse freedom-freedom
of religion" by burdening Catholic
institutions with healthcare regula­
tions. ILLUSTRATION BY SAMANTHA SARVET
Biden said he refuses to allow
his personal convictions to conflict
with the expression of other reli­
gious traditions. Ryan said private •
beliefs cannot be separared from
public decisions.
Tax policy offered one of the
starkest depictions of partisan ide­
ology in the entire debate.
Ryan said that a Romney ad­
ministration will "lower tax rates
across the board and cur loop­
holes."
Biden passionately refused to al­
low tax cuts for upper-class earners.
He asserted that the Obama ad­
ministration seeks to permanently
end rhe Bush-era tax curs and ap­
pealed directly to the camera with
earnest rhetorical questions.
After the second formal debate,
however, an American public left
with rapidly oscillating poll num­
bers and polarized verbal torrents
still seeks to answer its country's
most critical question.
Bon out of vegan contest in first round
BY JAKE BARTMAN
News Editor
Though Lewis & Clark received
the honor of being one of rhe thir­
ty-two small schools co be voted
on in pera2's annual "Most Vegan­
Friendly" contest, the school was
bested in the first round by Ever­
green College. The voring period
began on the 8th and was con­
cluded on the 16th and was open
co visitors of the activism group's
website.
Pera2, which is the youth-ori­
ented arm of PETA (People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals) cre­
ated the contest seven years ago.
Since that time, the number of veg­
etarian college students has risen by
about 50 percent and the number
of vegans has more than doubled,
according to Bon Apperir. According to the peta2 web­
site, "Four factors will be given
equal consideration when pera2
chooses the schools rhat will get
co move on co the next round as
well as the winners of the contest:
pera2's assessment of the quality
and variety of vegan food options
available, the total number of votes
that each school receives, the en­
thusiasm demonstrated by nomi­
nated schools in promoting their
nomination and/or available vegan
food options and feedback from
students on campus about their
dining staff's services and openness
co improving dining options for
vegans."
Four more rounds remain be­
fore a winner is chosen from
amongst the 16 remaining schools.

Neighbors angered, hut some see opportunity
BY JAKE BARTMAN
News Editor
Tensions between our school
and the greater community have
escalated recently as neighbors
have responded with anger to acts
of vandalism and or.her offenses
perpetrated by students returning
from off-campus parties.
The problem became especially
prominent on the last weekend of
September, which saw yards lit­
tered with broken beer bottles and
damaged mailboxes on che Sunday
following one off-campus gather­
ing.
Ac ch_e monthly Collins View
Neighborhood Association meet­
ing held at Riverview High School
that cook place o; the first Wednes­
day of October, frustrated residents
met with Associate Dean of Stu­
dents Jeffrey Feld-Gore and CVNA
student liaison Andrew McCarthy
('15). "It wasn't really the property
damage that upset people," Mc­
Carthy said. "It was more the
principle of the thing. This issue is
more an instance of a greater prob­
lem rather than a big thing in it­
self." of problems before they even hap­
pen," he explained.
Beyond the practical benefits to
be gained by building a bercer re­
lationship with the school's neigh­
bors, McCarthy says char he views
such an arcirude of expansiveness as
a part of the education he arcends
LC to gain. LC's relationship with its neigh­
bors has always been strained.
Neighbors tend to be bothered es­
pecially by the "lace night, noisy
parries" that occur in the area, ac­
cording to Gene Lynard, who is
the Crime/Public Safety Chair for
the Collins View Neighborhood
Association. McCarthy says thac
part of his role as the CVNA stu­
dent liaison is to help improve rhe
current srace of affairs. "Ir really connects to every­
thing," McCarthy said. "It's totally
what the liberal arcs are about. And
i"t's about connecting the docs be­
tween being both good and effec­
tive people."
"We wane the neighborhood to
be like an extension of the campus
community," McCarthy said.
McCarthy sees numerous po­
tential benefits in seeking to pro­
mote such a view among his peers.
"Ir helps to cur down on the risk McCarthy is nor the only stu­
dent who feels strongly about LC's
relationship with the larger Col­
lins View community. Arena Mo­
rillo (' 15) has been working hard to
promote awareness of the issues ac

laborate with Campus Living to

cently inflamed relations.
"I really want people to feel re­
sponsible for what they're doing,"
Morillo said. "We should feel ·bad
about breaking peoples' property
and lircering in their yards."
McCarthy chinks char the com­
ponencs necessary for greater iden­
tification with neighborhood resi­
dents are already present.
"The ingredients are there," Mc­
Carthy said. "Bur it's a two way
thing." McCarthy added char while
there are Collins View residents
who aren't interested in fostering a
better relationship with the school,
there certainly are residents who
are interested in changing things
as well.
"Many of the neighbors have
been responsive. to the idea," Mc-Carchy said. "They've been es­
pecially responsive to che idea of
building some sort of communi­
cation network." Bur ar the same
rime, many homeowners recog­
nize that the prevailing sense of
esuangemenc from the college
community isn't solely che school's
responsibility, according to Mc­
Carthy.
"They recognize char it's nor all

At the same rime, McCarthy
chinks char perhaps rhe more im­
mediate issues of the vandalism
chat has occurred recently can be
made into an opportunity co srart
a conversation about what exactly
ir is char makes getting along with
the school's neighbors such a de­
cidedly troubling affair.
"We're hoping co almost use it
to our advantage to raise aware­

agreed. "We can deal with chis is­
sue right now," she said.

Digging below the surf ace of
the Divest Coal Campaign
BY CALEB DIEHL
Staff Writer
Lewis & Clark srudencs ofcen profess to
being fervenc environmental activists. Now,
however, they are raking on 42 percenc of
America's electricity.
Divest Coal, a student coalition that seeks
to abolish the college's investments in coal,
recently enacted multiple petitions and pub­
lished an open letter to President Glassner in
the previous edition of the Pioneer Log.
Michelle Kim (non-student), the proj­
ect's organizer, hopes to supplant coal in­
vestments with shares of renewable energy
companies. She said, "We have cleaner alter­
native technology available."
She also acknowledged the implications
of opposing a distinctly American resource.
Our country has been labeled the "Saudi
Arabia of Coal" for its vast reserves. Over
90 percent of our coal production generates
electricity; most of the remainder is export­
ed. At the end of 2011, coal produced more
than twice as much electricity as nuclear
power did. Renewables scrounged up a pa­
thetic I 3 percent.
Coal usage declined drastically from 48
percent of electrical production in 2010 to
its share at the end of 20 l 1, but not because
the wind started picking up or the sun shone
brighter. The steadfast resource has instead
suffered because ir lost a considerable per­
centage of its marker share to natural gas,
which has flourished with the advent of new
modes of extraction.
America is still caught between a rock and
hard places that contain natural gas reserves,
while renewables make sluggish gains.
The Divest Coal Campaign did its re­
search. They know char no other college in
the nation has succeeded in similar ventures
but that this failure arose because rho e insti­
tutions sec unrealistic standards by categori­
cally condemning fossil fuels. LC students
are more down to earth, and nor just because
we have a large hippie population, a forest in
the middle of campus or a Divest Coal Cam­
paign. We are nor trying to forsake 70 per­
cent of our light and hear.
Kim hopes rhac ch is real isric srarri ng
point will precipitate larger di cussions. "We
want to park a systemic change, nor just get
people to rum off tl1eir light ," she said.
tudents who want to fully partake in rhe
ideology of Divest Coal, however, should
dim the lights halfway or, more correctly,
to 42 percent strength. Otherwise they will
continue to endorse the resource and cele­
brate its utility.
I also want to denounce the abominable
business practices and ethical disregard chat
define coal companies, bur [ want to do it on
my laptop. I would estimate l did about 58
percent prim research and interviewing any­
way, so I'm clear of hypocrisy.
Divest Coal wants to pursue an admira­
ble objective. They condemn unsustainable "Students who want to
fully partake in the ide­
ology of Divest Coal,
however, should dim the
lights halfway, or more
correctly, to 42 percent
strength."
and unethical business practices but do so
with uncertain logic. Their unwillingness to
ourUne specific positive investments presents
another problem.
They believe the financial expem who
manage the college's investments should ul­
timately choose sustainable companies on
which to bestow their confidence. Kim men­
tioned, however, that "financial managers
rend to work on short term gain and are nor
inclined to invest in renewables."
This is tantamount to handing the keys to
someone who I know will crash the electric
or hybrid car.
Some of the movemenc's commitmenc
and indecision are troubling, bur another
irresistibly compelling argument, common
sense, redeems them. The coal industry's
electrical and political power will probably
continue to decline, especially if the Obama
administration that has invested $80 billion
in green energy is reelected. Even if President
Obama doesn't prevail, natural marker forc­
es and public distaste of questionable ethics
herald a steep decline for coal, while renew­
ables make careful yet steady gains.
The coal industry furnishes America with
thousands of jobs, bur increased mecha­
nization has forced tho e numbers to de­
cline, and mine accidents have blown some
of them apart. Companies char were once
talwarr paragons of industry have filed for
bankruptcy. Working a way out of the col­
lapsing mineshafc now is not just symbolic;;
iris a good inve rment.
Kim claims, "We don't wane the school to
hurt financially; we want big coal to hurt."
Tuition coses and expenditures cannot be
held down by mound of coal.
Smart and reasonable tudents compri e
the Divest Coal movement an initiative that
bears considerable moral and financial impe­
tus. Caution, a word physically demonized
by rugged American individualises and green
energy acrivisrs alike, however, should be­
come a central concern. If Divest Coal suc­
ceeds, rhey must not expand their campaign
into an ideological conquest against all fossil
fuels. They muse redefine rheir logic, recog­
nize that renewable energy investing muse be
conducted gradually and assertively outline
alternative sources of revenue to support the
school's endowment through unstable eco­
nomic conditions. I fought the law and the law won:
drinking is fun, getting caught isn't
BY ZIBBY PILLOTE
Editor-in-Chief
Fall semester was dry until last week,
when the rain sec in-but nor in rhe meta­
phorical sense. As evidenced by the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission's annoying
presence on our campus, this semester has
been anything but dry. We've been inaugu­
rated in puddles of PBR, nor rain, and just
like wool socks take weeks to dry our, the
persistence of rhe OLCC seems unending.
[e's easy to blame Lewis & Clark for the
presence of the OLCC-thar is, if you don't
under rand college policy, which more often
than nor lines up wid1 "real world" law. Un­
derstandably, this is frustrating for the staff
of Lewis & Clark, who only trive to make
campus a safe environment for drinker and
non-drinkers alike. While they're easy to
blame, they aren't the ones who are to blame;
in face we should be blaming ourselves.
As Associated tudents of Lewis & lark
President Xander Blair ('13) stared in his
Oct. 5 e-mail to the student body, "[1l1e
OLCC] will continue this heightened en­
forcement until it stops producing results."
Blair continued to explain why the OLCC is
here and what they've been doing (dropping
by at houses, busting parties, searching in­
toxicated students en route and confiscating
fake IDs).
This came on the heels of two posters
hung in J.R. Howard Hall in the weeks be­
fore Fall Break, which outlined the college
policies on alcohol, Oregon laws regard­
ing minors in possession of alcohol and a description of a person's rights should they
encounter an officer. Students stopped and
scared on their way to class, and I would
hope that the posters had an impact.
The issue at hand is not students drink­
ing; it is students drinking irresponsibly and
all too often holding firmly to the belief thar
they are above the law. Ir is illegal anywhere
in Oregon to walk around with an open con­
tainer of alcohol. Though we are somewhat
isolated from Portland's urban center, char
doesn't mean we are isolated from these laws.
Fake IDs can be taken anywhere and even if
you didn't live on or around campus, or at­
tend LC ar all, the OLCC would still how
up ar your door to collect.
Before you write me off as being conde­
scending or patronizing, or become frustrat­
ed with me for celling you what you don't
wane to hear, let me cell you-I'm nor so in­
nocent. The difference between those who
have been searched, frisked or fined by the
OLCC and myself is char I've somehow
managed to be careful. While l chink it is a
blatant disregard of a studenc's rights to have
her body unlawfully searched while walking
back from a party, I'm nor blaming LC.
I applaud Blair, Campus Safety, Campus
Living and the Health and Wellness Office,
who have all voiced their concern over the is­
sue. Nowhere have these people condemned
drinking, and as Blair stared in his e-mail
"Nobody wants the OLCC here in force­
the college or the studencs." I would hope
char students would meet these concerns
with gratitude and respect, as it seems that is
what we are being given.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
The Campus Living Advisory Board
would like to remind students of the school's
medical amnesty policy. We feel that it is im­
portant to bring up this policy especially be­
cause it has been absent from so many of the
valuable articles and so much of the insight­
ful dialogue about the OLCC and the con­
flicts recently experienced with residents of
the neighborh.ood near our school.
The medical amnesty policy recognizes
char a student's health and well-being is the
most important thing co address in situa­
tions where college policy is being broken.
The policy was implemented to ensure that
any student who is in violation of policy bur
who is either in serious danger or with some­
one who is in serious danger should not hesi­
tate to call for help. The policy ensures that
those involved in such an incident will not
be punished as is usual.for breaking policy, because the health of those involved rakes
precedent.
Please remember that if you are in a situ­
ation where you or someone else is in serious
danger, you should ALWAYS call Campus
Safety immediately at (503) 768-7777, with­
out potential punishment being a consider­
ation. Remember that health and safety are
always the mosr important factors in policy­
breaking incidents, regardless of how policy
is being broken.
Thank you, and be safe!
Sincerely,
The Campus Living J\dvisory Board

Dear student body,
While painting our nails, we had a revelation. Lewis & Clark's stu­
dent body could benefit endlessly from our combined knowledge oflove
gained through reading Young Adule fiction, writing notes to our crush­
es and nor giving them co chem, and having friends who have been in
relationships and told us about chem. o please send us your questions
and we will give you our complete and totally objective and inexperi­
enced advice. Then you too can have unicorns queuing outside your
bedroom door.
I knew I was straight because:
-When I was in eighth grade,
I sent myself a candy-gram on Val­
entine's Day signed, "From your
secret admirer."
-I once had a boyfriend for
two months in tenth grade. After
he left an emotional message on
my home phone while I was eating
dinner with my family and then
btoke up with me over Myspace, I
lay on my bed listening to BFight
Eyes and drawing flaming hearts in
my journal.
-I own black underwear.
-I lived in Stewart.
-The only penis I've ever seen
belonged to a Reed student run­
ning through the library shouting,
"Your admissions office is not se­
lective!"
-Two of my housemates have
boyfriends. I knew I was gay because:
-When I was ten-years-old I
read Ella Enchanted twice a week
for four months.
-I told people I was dating Je­
sus in middle school.
-Actually, sometimes I told
people I was dating Pacrick from
Spongebob Squarepants.
-I have read every issue of
Cosmo since the 2004 July issue,
in which I learned to rub ice cubes
on my nipples co harden them.
Since then, I have acquired 3672
sex rips, which I have never used.
-I also own black underwear.
-I spend my Friday nights
watching videos of cats in my bed­
room.
-Christina Aguilera AND
Britney Spears still have mad
crushes on me.

weighs in on
choosing the
perfect apple this
fall and offers a
recipe for tarte
tatin, a French
take on apple pie BY KEVIN RYAN
Staff Writer
It finally feels like fall, and chat
means apples are in season. Apples are
a good source of antioxidants and fiber
and have been shown in some studies to
improve cognitive function. Originat­
ing in Eastern Turkey, the apple quickly
gained popularity in Europe and became
one of the staple fruits grown in Ameri­
ca in the 1800s.
Now, apples are about as American as
you can gee. Fall in the Pacific North­
west brings some of the best local apple
harvests possible. And what better way
to celebrate and rake advantage of the
fall apple harvest than with an apple pie?
For many, including myself, apple
pies are intimidating and labor inten­
sive. Fortunately, there is a solution:
carte tatin. This upside down tarte origi­
nated in France in the early 1900s and
has been a classic ever since. Essentially,
it'~ the French version of an apple pie.
As long as you have a skillet and a few
choice ingredients, you can make a tarte
tatin.
Before we jump into the recipe
though, we should consider the apple.
There are hundreds of rypes of apples,
many grown locally and organically. For
a tarte ta tin, we want. a slightly tart apple
that holds its shape fairly well and cara­
melizes nicely.
Granny Smith really is the best for a
carte ratin, although you could use other
apples with robust flavor and firm tex­
ture. Test ripeness by smelling the ap­
ples: if they smell fruiry, they're ripe. APPLES
fllgredients:
-4 ripe Granny Smith apples
-3/4 cup sugar
-.3 tablespoons butter
-12 inch sheer of pascry dough (make ic
yourself or buy puff pastry from
che freezer section)
-I lemon
-1 egg
,\fethod:
Preheat an oven to 400'' F.
Peel rhe apples. Cur them into quarcers
and remove the core. 1oss chem in a bowl
wirh the juice of half rhe lemon. This pre­

In an oven-safe skillet over medium low

XanEdu may cope with copyright
issues, but at the cost of students
BY LINDSEY BOSSE
Staff Writer
On the XanEdu website, you are greeted
with the peppiest 21st century marketing
lingo. XanEdu offers "purpose," "solutions"
and "resources," according to their drop­
down menus. They are "changing the course"
of student information reuieval through per­
petuating the transition of texts from print
to web. They promote online and app read­
ing.
You can actually give your professor's
name and email to XanEdu and they will po­
litely instruct your professor on how to make
readings available in app form. Now, XanE­
du knows your teacher, what courses they are
teaching and what materials they are using
to reach.
What used to be sent to the Copy Center
is now at XanEdu. What used to be posted
directly on Moodie is now password-locked
by XanEdu. Five-dollar course packets chat
were either purchased through your reacher
or sold in the department office can now be
found at the bookstore in XanEdu attire for
an unimaginable amount of money. There
are no more pastel course packet covers with
black pixelated images of something relevant
to the course, but there is an ISBN. Unless,
of course, your professor ordered the online
packet for which you pay the same large sum
of money in order to walk out of the book­
store with nothing more than a code. How­
ever, according to XanEdu's website, "On av­
erage, XanEdu course materials are available for less than half the retail price of a single
popular textbook."
What I marvel at is that we are not, in
face, getting textbooks from XanEdu-we
are getting course packets. Course packets
are filled with single-use articles, which are
educational, but by no means a textbook, yet
we are paying textbook prices for them.
So far, I see no revolution in the way in
which we are reading our work (although
the iPad craze is alive and well I haven't seen
the onslaught of iPad readers that XanEdu
expects these days). There are more crafty
people checking library resources to find out
if our tuition has already covered access to
certain articles whether they be online or in
a periodical. In XanEdu's eyes, that would be·
a serious seep back from the innovative and
technologically crazed education campaign
they're on.
Essentially, XanEdu has not revolution­
ized our education this year. It has confused
and frustrated teachers and students. It has
epic potential to modernize our resources
and bundle our material into easy-use on­
line packets, as well as print packers. How­
ever, these were services already provided by
the Copy Center and Warzek. Of course our
motive for using XanEdu was to eliminate
copyright issues chat were consistently being
looked over.
However, XanEdu's motives are elsewhere
and between Lewis & Clark's motives and
XanEdu's, nothing has really changed except
for higher complaints about money, print
balance and miscommunication issues. OCTOBER 23, 2012. 7PM

Movies aren't cheap, and after
an $11 investment toward some­
thing you might not even like, it
isn't absurd to expect more than
grimy seats and stale gummy bears
from rhe cheater you attend. Hope
is not losr--our city is one in
which independence thrives, and
theaters are praised for their vari­
ety of film , caliber of candy and
in some cases, bounty of booze.
Among them is the Living
Room Theater, located just down
the street from Powell's Books
in downtown Portland. Though
it may be flashy and just a little
prerentious, this cheater is ·cheap
and is often the only theater host­
ing certain independent films and
documentaries. The theater's con­
tent lends itself to the ambiance.
Once you purchase your ticket,
you select your sear from a seating
chart, claiming the plushy leather
chair of your choice. Plus, the the­
aters are mall, with each seating

All hail Ty Segall,
new King of Fuzz
BY CJ MACLEOD
Staff Writer
With a back catalog that seems to
double every few months, Ty SegalJ
continues to up the ante in the prolific
world of garage rock. Only 10 months
into 2012, he has already released three
LPs with three separate bands, contrib­
uted to coundess compilations and sin­
gle and toured the US and Europe. A
sense of urgency grips his new record,
Twim, released Ocr. 9 by Drag City Re­
cords.
On his most recent release, Segall
skips seamlessly from blissed-our ga­
rage pop to searing, sticky sludge. The
album's lead track, "Thank God For
Sinners," seems like it could have been
pulled from some unreleased Nuggets
compilation. Coming in at just under
three minutes, the perfect pop song
length, the crack delivers it all-searing
dual guitar leads, a shout-able chorus
and a driving rhythm section.
The great thing about Twim is that
unlike previous album , like Segall's
2009 self-titled release or 201 l's singles collection, the album is a study in dy­
namism. Furious, amped garage cuts
like "They Told Me To" sir perfectly
next to cracks like "Inside Your Heart,"
which by midway through enters into
a psych freak-out, led by a tumultuous
guitar lead and completed by a dron­
ing two chord vamp. The record's lead
single "The Hill" is a slice of blistering
pop, combining frantic chords and vo­
cals from Thee Oh ee's Brigid Dawson.
While this musical variety is wel­
come, SegalJ is most at home when he's
riffing through scorching three chord
garage cuts. The clear stand-our of the
album, "You're The Doctor," is reminis­
cent of a song like "The Drag" off of Se­
gall's 2009 self-citied release, feedback
solo and all.
The sheer creative output and qual­
ity ofSegall's work is staggering, but the
musical maturity evidenced on Twim
points towards a yearning to branch
out and conquer a wider range of musi­
cal styles. If he is able to expand° with
half che gusto that he has put into his
records thus far, music will be in a good
place. Arts & Culture

ARTS KLC SHOW OF THE WEEK
BY KATHERINE JERNIGAN
Staff Writer
Tuesday nights, things gee a bit cozy on KLC radio with
Christian Fechtmeyer ('15) and Loren Naldoza ('15). The
duo has made it their goal to expose the public to more jazz
and classical music. "We play songs chat you don't know
and then after you listen to it, you know it. It's almost ed­
ucational, but it's more listening to really great musicians
playing really great songs," Naldoza said. "We try to be kind
of informative. We tell about composers in both genres and
the significant players to bring to awareness [of] who they
are," Fechcmeyer added. We cell about composers in both genres and the signifi­
cant players to bring to awareness [of] who they are," Fech­
cmeyer added.
The first half of the show is jazz selected by Fechcmeyer. "I
like to pick songs chat are significant and have kind of been
in the jazz vocabulary," Fechtmeyer explained. Artists of such
songs include John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard
and Art Blakey. Naldoza then plays classical music chat can
be as mainstream as Mozart or as little known as Pierne.
Naldoza and Fechtmeyer aim to make their show profes­
sional and intimate with soft-spoken, thoughtful comments
on the music.

Volleyball drops two to George Fox and Linfield

Staff Writer
The volleyball ceain plans co
work hard and continue to im­
prove as they lose both their
marches last week. The Pioneers
lost the first game of the George
Fox march 25-16, bur they turned
things around for the second set,
which they won 25-17. They then
lost their momentum moving inco
the third and fourth games, which
rbey lost 25-15 and 25-17, respec­
tively.
The Pioneers had a similar
march against Linfield in which
chey cook the second sec and lost
the ocher three. "We gor the kinks
our rhe first game," explained Jen­
nifer Dowdy ('13). "So by the end
of the first gaine, we picked up a
little qir of momentum and car­
ried that into the second game,
and it really pushed us forward."
Against Linfield, rhe Pioneers
came back from a bacrscarr co nar-rowly lose rhe first set by four
points. In the second sec, the Pio­
neers kept a small lead for the ma­
joriry of the game, winning 25-
22. They then lost rhe third game
by 10 and rhe fourth by five.
Kayla Ernewei n (' I 4) believes
they could have turned things
around with a change in menta1-
iry. "Ir's about nor being satisfied
with what we did in rhe second
game," she s_aid. The Pioneers
have also suffered an unusually
high number of injuries chis sea­
son, and they've had co struggle
to adapt. "We're not using the
same sec over and over, so we're
nor getting used to each other,"
explained Alicia Callejo-Black
(' 14).
Despite the adversiry the Pi­
oneers have faced chis season,
they've shown chat when they
play co their potential, they can
compete in the Northwest Con­
ference. They face Pacific at

Bright spots for rhe Pio­
neers were receivers Jacob
Costantino ('I 5) and Con­
nor Imel ('15), who each went
over I 00 yards receiving. Keith
Welch also put up good num­
bers, completing 27 passes and
delivering three scores.
On the defensive side, Joe
Kopp ('13) continued his solid
season contributing 10 tackles,
upping his total to 39 tack­

The Pioneers are now one game away from beating their

Lax· bros here to stay
BY MADDIE LEE
Staff Writer
Lewis & Clark's little-known
men's lacrosse ream has committed
to the ambitious struggle for recog­
nition, not only at LC, but more
importantly, in the Northwest re­
gion.
"It's a very East Coast spore,"
explained Woody Johnson (' 15).
"It hasn't grown very much on the
West Coast."
In past years, the lacrosse sea­
son at LC has been virtually non­
existent. The team hosted scrim­
mages against LC alumni and the
Portland Rippers-a local amateur
men's team-bur they have been
unable to join a league.
The team is currencl>;: pursuing a
spot in the Pacific Northwest Col­
legiate Lacrosse League (PNCLL).
"This season is really about
building up the team," said La­
crosse Club President Wade Hig­
gins ('13). "We are working co
show we have a legitimate team,
and that we are fie co be playing [in
the PNCLL) again." LC lefc the PNCLL a year be­
fore Higgins came co the school.
Since his freshman year, the ream
has gone from having coo few
players co field a full ream co the
current roster of about 20. The Pi­
oneers also recently hired alumnus
AJex Tillson ('04) as their coach.
The Pioneers kicked off their
• season with a LAREDO (Lacrosse
Referee Development) tourna­
ment. There they played several
PNCLL teams including Western
Oregon and Central Washington.
The Pioneers proved co be cough
competition, and despite a lack
of wins, Higgins was happy with
their performance.
LC's next big event is the alum­
ni game during homecoming. The
game will rake place in Griswold
Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Between
Coach Tillson's contacts, Facebook
outreach and the alumni associa­
tion's resources, the ream expects a
good turnout. Spectators are wel­
come and can expect a riveting
experience watching what has of­
ten been called the fastest-growing
team sport on the West Coast.

John says that so far his junior
season has been his most memorable.
It was one of the best seasons the Pio­
neer Football team had since 1991,
to which Berokoff said, "Every week
was an even better, memorable mo­
ment."
. When asked if his athletic expe­
rience at Lewis & Clark has shaped
him in any way, he said that football
has made him more of a well round­

world. According ro John, "Sports in PHOTO COURTESY OF LCPIONEERS.COM

and make you realize how impor­

thing I am going co carry with me af­

Being a senior, Berokoff has ob­
tained an extensive amount of wis­
dom co pass on co his fellow team­
mates who are continuing their
journeys ar LC. Referring co the
underclassmen, he said, "They don't
really think about it now, but their
days, practice and games, are all
numbered. They just have co enjoy
the time they have here while they
can."
Nor only can players from foot­
ball utilize this advice, bur it is some­
thing for all underclassmen just start­

You can watch John Berokoff and
the rest of the Pio football team face

This is a situation that happens all-too often with Lewis & Clark's potential donors. They ride in here every weekend and
try to give us money. This money would theoretically be invested in Bon Appetite's nefarious "Bon-eggs," which currently require
1/3 of every student's tuition to finance. Yet we do not receive this money, because our wealthy donors have nowhere to park their
horses. And as a result, our school s financing is watery, just like the "Bon-eggs." This is inexcusable, my brothers and sisters. Our
school's founder, Pancho Villa, once said "If you can't taste the taco, then you probably aren't putting it in your mouth, if you know
what I mean." At times like this, I could not agree more.
So to avoid financial collapse and to foster rivers of "Bon-eggs," we need to convert a building into a stable. Let's consider
Albany, the building that used to be a stable. Our school's founder, Pancho Villa, once said "why is it that my taco is over here, while
your mouth is over there?" This quote could not be more relevant. Because we, as a student body, are like a bag full of cats. Cats,
who like tacos. And we will not get tacos, and we will not get "Bon-egg" waterfalls, until we escape from that cat bag in which we
lie, and turn Albany back into a beautiful stable. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." -
