The Indian knows his village
and feels for his village as no
white man for his country,
his town, or even for his own
bit of land. His village is not
the strip of land four miles
long and three miles wide
that is his as long as the sun
rises and the moon sets. The
myths are the village, and the
black and white killer whales
that herd the fish to the end
of the inlet the better to gob
ble them. The village is the
salmon who comes up the
river to spawn, the seal who
follows the salmon and bites
off his head, the bluejay
whose name is like the
sound he makes-'Kwiss
kwiss.' The village is the talk
ing bird, the owl, who calls
the name of the man who is
going to die, and the little
white speck that is the
mountain goat on Whoop
Szo. -Margaret Craven

6 At a school where academics take precedence over
sporting events and time is an especially dear
commodity, showing up for daily practices and
games takes a good deal of self-discipline. For
twenty young women on Lewis and Clark's soccer
team, however, the opportunity to escape study
pressures and work with others toward a common
goal was well worth the commitment of time and
energy.
Soccer provided a space in each day for turning
minds loose and letting bodies take over. "You don't
think about what you're doing. It's like putting your
brain into cruise control and just letting it happen.''
Through physical involvement, the pressures and
intensity of college life were relieved, allowing the
girls just a little time to breathe freely.
Success for the team required much hard work
and ettort spent in developing individual skills, but
even more significant was the team's ability to
combine these talents and function as a unit.
Working closely in a team situation was a valuable
experience for each member, engendering
discoveries within themselves as well as one
another. Relationships which began in sweat and
competition were carried off the field and added to
the daily routine of campus life.
Although the ·women of LC's soccer team had
quite a successful season, it wasn't whether they
won or lost, or even how they played the game. The
importance of soccer was wrapped up in the
underlying benefits of physical activity and group
participation. These provided the incentive
necessary to bolster individual dedication and keep
team spirit high. a: w C, z ::, :c

8 It's hit-hunger. Time to take a break from studying:
munchie time!
After a long evening of studying at the library, after
an evening of conversing with friends, after a well
earned nap-out come the munchies!
The setting, a dorm room, the floor lounge, or even
the Trail Room, Plattform, or Rusty Nail. The menu:
gourmet delights of freshly buttered popcorn, hot
herbal tea, sausage pizza, and chocolate chip
cookies, or soup, hot chocolate and donuts;
whatever is handy. The purpose: to eat, talk about
the day and complain about homework, and to sit
back and relax and enjoy.
Munchie time: the traditional way to take a break
from studying. w C

12 Providing in:sight into the benevolence of Napoleon
Bonaparte contrasted against woman's cunning
wit, George Bernard Shaw's The Man of Destiny was
the first of five plays presented by the Theater
Department. The one-act comedy, which ran from
October 30 through November 4, focused on a short
episode in the life of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Though Slhaw himself did not view this as one
of his best pllays, his unique portrayal of Napoleon
was both humorous and entertaining. The
production i1ncluded just four cast members: David
Halliburton as General Napoleon Bonaparte, Len
Stevens as Giuseppe Grandi, William Jordon as The
Lieutenant, and Julie Grant as The Strange Lady. z

14 It was mid morning before sunbeams began slicing
through the fog which usually accompanies a seaside
sunrise. Within the lodge, forty-one voices were heard as
a unit, tripping down the scales of a Handelian choral
arrangement. At frequent intervals the music would stop
and one voice would rise above the rest,"I want people to
remember us as the choir with diction. There must be
more 'm' and more 'f' In the word magnify. Pronounce the
second syllable as you would the word 'knee,' and don't
forget to emphasize consonants."
The director's words were well heeded by some.
Others, however, were mesmerized by the roaring noise
of waves crashing down upon sand. Yet others sat
focusing, then refocusing reluctant eyes, still feeling
ettects from the night before. All were intent upon
personal attempts to Inconspicuously turn and capture a
glimpse of sun upon surf.
Rehearsal went on in spite of the sun, because that's
what it takes to become an ensemble. There would be
time enough for the sun and the sand and the surf and
most Importantly. for knowing one another ... but later.
The now of that time was devoted to music, for music
was that which had brought us together. Choir provided a
special place to combine our talents, creating a unique
beauty for us to share with anyone willing to listen. t--a: -Q. en

16 U~wis and Clark's football team forged through a frustrating
suason, with as many downed defensive lineman as toppled
teilephone poles in Portland. The Pioneers were plagued with
injuries during the fall season, with up to six first-string players
always sidelined. LC's gridders fought hard, undauntedly
meeting their foes with strength and spirit, but the 37-member
teiam, led by captain Jon McNerney, ended the season with a
dtiscouraglng record of 2-6.
Head Coach Fred Wilson's Pioneer charges attracted
weather-braving fans at the Saturday home games. Griswold
Stadium resounded with rally squad chants, pep band fight
songs, and encouraging cheers from students, alumni. and
parents. "It's really rewarding to know there are people out
there rooting for us," one team member commented.
Special features during the grid season were Supa Saturday,
with a picnic lunch on the field, Homecoming, including
cioronation and float parade, and LC's Athletic Hall of Fame,
honoring athletes from Early Pioneer days. In addition, SOFA
director Steve Fendrich trained with the team, although he
mmained on the bench. Going to Saga was part of every students' routine at
Lewis and Clark and for most it brought a welcome
break from studies. Saga had a "come-as-you-are"
atmosphere that allowed individuals the chance to
chat with friends in a casual, relaxed way.
Mornings brought a solemn crowd, desperately
trying to wake up for dreaded eight o'clock classes.
Lunch saw people rushing in and out and trying to
make one o'clock classes, or all afternoon study
sessions. At dinner they came through wired about
the day's events, yet set to consume a leisurely meal.
A pleasant chat with friends seemed relaxing after
another busy day.
Getting into Saga was often a problem for those
who forgot their 1.0. cards, so, as a solution
everyones' numbers were given to the attendent.
People swarmed into the dining room and warmly
greeted the Saga attendants. People provided the
atmosphere and flavor of Saga even when the food
didn't.

20 One didn't have to be a varsity jock or a physical
education major to be involved in athletic activity at
Lewis and Clark this year. From football to fencing,
and squash to social dance, the Health and Physical
Education Department offered a wide variety of
activity courses. With approximately 45 offerings
each term, as well as readily available recreational
facilities, LC students had endless opportunities to
keep physically fit. A stronger incorporation of recreational activities
under intramurals began winter term. Sue Peterson,
Intramural Program Director, explained that the
emphasis and expansion of recreational and
intramural opportunities hoped to encourage
greater involvement of students who did not
ordinarily turn out for the structured varsity
program. LC's athletic program made physical
activity whether for competition or relaxation,
available to all. Kathleen Gardner

But the angels are older
They can see that the sun's setting fast
They look over my shoulder
At the vision of paradise contained in the light
of the past
And they lay down behind me
to sleep beside the road til morning has come
Where they know they will find me
With my maps and my faith in the distance
Moving further on.

I meant to do my work today-
But the brown bird sang In the apple-tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand
So what could I do but laugh and go?

Thus the real treasure, that which can put an
end to all our poverty and all our trials, Is never
very far; there is no need to seek it in a distant
country. It lies buried in the most intimate parts
of our own house; that is, of our own being. If it
is behind the star, the center of the life and
warmth that rule our existence, the heart of our
heart, if only we knew how to unearth it. And
yet-there is this strange and persistent fact,
that it is only after a pious journey in a distant
region, in a new land, that the meaing of that
inner voice guiding us on our search can make
Itself understood by us. And to this strange and
persistent fact is added another: that he who
revels to us the meaning of our mysterious
inward pilgrimage must himself be a stranger,
of another belief and another race.

44 Sand castles on the beach, popcorn and
peanut butter at weekly dorm meetings,
frisbees, toilet brushes, extra-strength
cleanser, and cooperation ... these are what
make up the Stewart Co-op. It's a "different
kind of place," as dorms on campus go, where
people take time for each other in addition to
classes, studies, and SAGA.
"In the middle of October we found ourselves
caring about neighbors and roomates the way
we cared about old friends and family." Funny,
how cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming the
lounge could bring people so close together.
Actually, maintenance duties were much less
a part of Stewart than the attitudes of students
who lived there. Responsibility and
cooperation were key factors in planning and
implementing activities, as well as in simply
living together. "Everyone was included in
discussions of every issue. If there was a
disagreement we worked together in hor 9S of
making a compromise."
Stewart was a social place where open doors
invited friends to step inside and shoot the
breeze for a break in study. There was always
someone to listen; someone to care. And if wild
and crazy happenings suit the mood better. a
party was easily found.
People matter in Stewart Co-op. Perhaps this
was what made it just a little bit special, as well
as a good place to live. ..J <l

Hail to thee, 0 proud Odell
Reverently of thee we tell;
Through the ice and through the blaze,
Come we now to sing thy praise:
Home and hearth to noble Flounders,
D.L. Dealers' flies and grounders.
Home of south door's Muddy Lake,
And the well-known Study Break.
Land where weapons are but pillows;
Land of birds on window sillows.
Home of pool shark and of clown,
Organists, and men named Brown.
Home of singers and of fiddlers,
Movie-makers and thumb twlddlers,
Scientists who madly scribble,
Athletes who double-dribble,
Artists, joggers, cookie bakers,
Actresses and cabinetmakers.
Home to those from far away
And a port for those who stray.
Hail to thee, 0 favored Hall-
May e'er your spirit confound us alll
-John and Mindy Doyle Akin is a hall of many facets. Under the leadership of
Resident Director Marian Michner, the women of
Akin experienced some exciting events together.
Highlighting the year was the solar eclipse on
February 26. The dorm travelled to Eastern
Washington to watch the sunrise, and the
remarkable sight of total solar eclipse. Other dorm
activities included a groundhog day (secret)
ceremony, a journey to the ocean, a trip up the
Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls and Eagle
Creek, and an inter-hall talent show. Each floor
experienced the year together-floor dinners.
Christian Fellowship, excursions downtown,
movies-memories. A woman in the Yakutat country said something which displeased the
frogs, and she was taken away by them. Next spring a man saw her
among the frogs. So the people drained the pond and recovered her. She
had been living on black mud like the frogs, and after her people got all of
this out of her, she died. From this, according to some, the Kiksa'di claim
the frog crest and names.
A Kagawantan chief having died one of his friends called upon the
Kiksa'di to take care of his body. The frog people, hearing this, thought
that they were meant, and when the corpse was being burnt a big frog
jumped out from the place, made a noise, and then jumped into the
flames. Afterward they captured slaves for the dead man, and, when they
put food into the fire for him, they named the frog as well. A popular response to the
modern dance and ballet
classes enhanced the
possibility for the
continuation of a dance
program. Pianist, Michael
Vuchlich, complimented the
dancer's footsteps with a
classical touch of Chopin
and contemporary Scott and
Joplan ragtime. The classes
taught by Jackie Bennet,
specializing In modern
dance, and Kathy Lausche,
in ballet, were filled to their
maximum capacity of thirty.
Jackie gracefully inspired
her dancers, utilizing
various African and modern
dance forms. "Students were
enthusiastic for such an
early hour," Jackie
commented. Kathy focused
on techniques developing
the stretch and strength of
her dancers.
An accomplished modern
dancer, who has studied
dance in Paris, Elinore
Coleman hosted a dance
workshop "The Master
Dance Class," February 1.
Elinore revealed her
repertoire of unique
interests in improvisational
dance and experimental
multi-media theatre. The
Master Dance Class gave
students an insight to a
diverse spectrum of unusual
and fascinating dance
techniques. The dance
workshop and classes
encouraged the future
development of beginning,
intermediate and advanced
classes, and theatrical dance

68 Who is Godot? When this question was asked of
Samuel Beckett, author of the absurdist masterpiece
Waiting for Godot, he answered: If I knew I wouldn't
have written the play."
Fir Acres Theatre approached Godot from an
unusual viewpoint-it stressed behavioral and base
values by pinpointing the character's essential
humaness. (These qualities are often overlooked in
intellectual European productions.) The end result was
a textured performance in which Gogo and Didi were
portrayed as decaying icons of our unforgiving culture,
seeming dull and doomed in their unfortunate senility.
Such character's preoccupations provided comic relief
during these futile times of waiting for salvation which,
at best, are infuriatingly abstract. The set was a hell
hole of scatological images: A bilious swamp encased
by a pimply landscape and illuminated by a shredded
sky.
The performances were energetic and specific with
the major acting loads falling on Ann Houle (Gogo) and
Dirk Van Dall (Didi). Rick Menegat and Stacey Olson
played Lucky and Pozzo and Louise Rafkin was the Girl 1--en ->

this year serving up their homemade pizza to thousands

ao It's an1 early foggy morning. The lone runner moves through
a canopy of trees suspending the days waiting activities.
Hair flowing In the breeze and chest heaving from an
encounter of a steep incline or possibly the exhilaration
used at one of the stations, the runner is greeted back into
civilization by the sounds of stereos, radio-alarm clocks,
show13rs and distant voices drifting from within the dorms.
The1 Swedish running trail is a retreat even for people
whos,3 motivation is not physical. In fact, many have found
composure, solitude and revitalization by walking or hiking
along the trail. For all, to be with nature for a moment is an
impor1ant element of the day.
Many will spend time on this two and one half mlle trail that
was initiated by physical education majors. At first it was dark. There was
neither wind nor rain. There were
no people or animals. In the
middle of the water, on a piece of
land, sat Qawaneca. He sat by his
fire breathing the smoke of
burning cedar. On the edge of the
land stood another god. Looking
northward, he saw an ash tree.
Looking southward, he saw a red
cedar. The ref ore the ash and red
cedar are sacred above all other
trees. Qawaneca chose three rocks and two
pieces of earth. He threw one rock into the
water. Then tJe listened. It went down,
down, down! ,He threw another rock; then
the third. Then he threw a piece of earth. He
listened. He t/-i,rew the other piece of earth.
After the fifth throw, mighty waves arose.
They dashed against the land, then
receded. Thus were the tides formed. All this time it was dark. Qawaneca tried to make
daylight, but could not. Then he called all the birds
to a great council. He asked them how to make
sunlight. Only one bird knew. He said in the far
north was the sun. Two wild geese had been there. n(J '4 -
Qawaneca pulled two hairs from his
head and threw thf~m on the ground.
They became snakes. Soon there
were many on thE~ land and in the
water. They made1 storms by blowing with their mouths. One long
serpent coiled itself five times
around the world, so it does not fall
apart. ~ ...J

104 (Wednesday night: late) For $200 the fraternity would do just about
anything-and there they were on a cold and rainy night shoveling
splintery red barkdust into red, maintenance wheelbarrows. They gym
was being transformed into the annual Sawdust festival.
(Thursday morning: early) Inside Pamplin a strange metamorphisis
had rapidly taken place. Amidst the pounding of hammers, the jokes
and voices of artisans, organizers, and assisting students creaited a
humming of activity that was to last for the days and nights to ,come. By the time the festival began you could hardly recognize
the gym structure, which by then was hidden beneath layers
of pottery, jewelry, ceramic whistles, weavings, flowers and
even a small herd of stuffed unicorns. The tastes and smells of
the sawdust festival tempted even the most stringent of
dieters' palates with treats of bagels with cream cheese,
teriyaki steak, Tillamook cheese and avacado sandwiches,
brownies. cookies and more. By and large it was an
irresistable affair.
(Sunday evening: late and rainy) All good things must end,
and so did the festival. With cars somewhat lighter and
pockets comfortably fuller, the artisans took to the road
once again. They gym's conversion was a Cinderella-like
process ... load after carload of barkdust-this time on its way
out to be eventually shoveled and raked on to spring
deserving flower and shrub beds around school. w > 0 m

110 Lewis and who?
Q: Why was a liberal arts college in Portland, Or. represented in the 1979 intercollegiate
sailing national championships?
a) 13ecause Portland is known world-wide for its large bodies of water and its warm, steady
brnezes, and thus attracts many sailors.
b) !Because the school's large student body causes creates competition for team positions
and provides for a great depth of talent.
c) 13ecause that school's P.E. department like many around the country recognizes sailing
as a Varsity sport and offers great support to its sailors.
d) None of the above.
l'f you chose "d" congratulations you are now as baffled as the rest of the Pacific
Northwest. However there are a few people who know the answer to the question which
lin1~ers in such sailing Meccas as Seattle and Victoria. They are the ones who watched the
rain run down their empty sails. They are the ones who drifted and watched as near-by
ho1Jses sent up straight columns of smoke which seemed to support the ceiling of clouds. I
am referring, of course, to those people who both raced up on the Northwest circuit and
provided a backdrop of competition at the many practice sessions. They know how far a little
decjication and practice can go against huge universities with gigantic waterfront
complexes. More importantly they know how much they owe to the students who support
the sailing program and especially to Robert Wilkin who has helped us from our day of
conception.

It is cold on the river at this hour. The warmth of the sun comos slowly; long after the light has touched us. Golden
light glistens off our varnished oars and reflects in the puddles they leave as we lift our blades out of the water. We
row up the channel through the last of the damp fog that char;acteristically hangs in isolated spots just above the
water's surface.
We feel fortunate because not all days are as enjoyable or as beautiful as this particular spring morning. At other
times it can be rainy or icy and our hands will seem to freeze against the rough oar handles. Each of us have cursed
crew at one time or another. The feeling of hail hitting the b,ack of your neck would make anyone question the
purpose of their being there. We've felt frustration and discouragement, but after each practice our determination
to better our efforts increases. We feel like we are all doing what we do best; that we have a personal confidence
developed from the knowledge that every muscle moves in perfect unison, in perfect balance with seven other
bodies and a sixty foot shell of red cedar. Rowing is an art wherie. somewhat likeZen, the mind and the body become
one. tU)

114 The men's and wonnen's track and field
teams performed very well despite
some handicaps, according to Head
Coach Eldon Fix. Having coached the
Pioneers for 33 years, he remarked
about the 78-79 season, "We had some
fine performances, but we had some
disappointments too." Unusually cold
weather and lack of students turning
out were some of the Pioneer's
problems. Coached by 1978 LC graduate Linda Dickinson, the women's tennis team
made an impressive showing at the NCWSA Regional Tournament, taking
fourth place overall. Susie Hunt and Dana Barnes qualified for national
competition In the second-position double seed. Fine performances were
made throughout the season by singles players Pam Lowen, Hunt,
Barnes, Shaun Bull, Sandra Johnson, and Betsy Cody.
LC's men's Tennis team swept through the NAIA District 2
Championships, placing first as a team. Coach Tony Evans' Pioneers
qualified seven out of nine individual first places and two doubles teams
for national competition in Kansas City. Competing in nationals were
Peter McKittrick, Jeff Schunk, Skip Wells, Wes Lawrence, and Randall
Brenn. w to

118 Kayaking amidst the remote Islands of Barkley Sound in Pacific
Rim National Park, students from Lewis and Clark tracked the
trails of Nootka Indians and sea lions. Barkley Sound, located on
the west side of Vancouver Island, is renowned for Its rugged
coastline of stratified granite formations and fiords. On one
occasion the group crawled on hands and knees through a dense
forest of cedar, hemlock and salal and observed a massive herd of
barking sea lions, pups and fighting bulls. Others investigated the
summer fishing and whaling sites of ancient Indian villages, while
beachcombers discovered bright arrays of multicolored starfish
and moonsnalls, and dug for clams and mussels. Evening meals
were often a lavish feast of these gourmet delicacies. Kayak
exr,editions, hikes, observation of wildlife and peaceful moments
of contemplation and sketching provided the explorers of
Barkley Sound with many opportunities to enjoy the awe
Inspiring beauty of the great outdoors. u,

126 ► This spring the Lewis and Clark community had the
opportunity to listen to several prominent people
speak on the theme In Search Of Humanness. This
was the title of LC's Spring Forum Series, sponsored
by the Asssociated Students of Lewis and Clark and
other organizations. Speakers ranging from
Michelle Rosaldo and Harold Taylor to Eugene
McCarthy and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke brought
hundreds of people to their lectures, all held in
Agnes Flanagan Chapel. In addition to the lecture
each speaker gave there were also informal talks and
interviews with classes and campus organizations
The Forum Series utilized the talents of freshman
Jan Nelson to Interpret each speech for the deaf.
Speakers and lecture themes were chosen by the

True education Is the learning that reveals to
man the order, the cooperation and beauty, the
harmony and discipline that exists in
nature ... in the universe ... and teaches
him, through his own disciplines, his reason,
imagination and eventually his wisdom, to play
his part in creating a higher order and a deeper
harmony. This kind of education ... is man's
weapon, so that the magnitude of his own
inventions and discoveries shall not overwhelm
him.

156 Tucked deep among the shadows
of the majestic fir trees of Lewis
and Clark, lies Hartzfeld Hall. On a
clear day, you can look south
from Templeton Center and see
four sturdy red-brick structures
peeking out through the trees.
Some say you can see them on
cloudy days, as well.
The four units, given such
creative names as A, B, C, and D,
house students who have
dedicated their junior and senior
years to building their human
minds to a climactic point of
academic supremacy. It is a domain where Socrates
is discu~sed more than the
weather; where solving America's
energy crisis is Friday night fare;
and scrabble and chess are
played while sipping vintage wine
and nibbling on various cheeses
of the world.
But among the books,
intellectualism, and search for
truth, lies a base of emotional
trust and love which greets all
who enter each unit. A smiling
face, a gentle snort, gattaw, or
chuckle, or the helpful advice of
older and wiser upper-class
people await those who venture
into Hartzfeld Hall.
-Steven Fandrich There can be no doubt that Copeland Dormitory is one of the livliest of
Its species on the LC campus. From coed to international floors the
residents are known for their outrageous parties and activities. Its
cohesiveness is due to a diverse collection of spirited personalities.
Being the largest dormitory could be detrimental to creating
successful large scale social events but the organizers and leaders of
Copeland were able to put their size and diversity to good use. Typical
of Copeland's escapades during 78-79 were the Copeland Olympics.
This afternoon affair involved nearly 200 residents and was dedicated
to retiring A. D. Diane Savage. The events were appropriately zaney
and brought the Spring term to a joyous conclusion. : : .: ···: ···: .. . ....... . :··: : .· . ..:.. ·: : .. : .. . . . . . : : : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A 1979 A sense of escaping, but then again a fall. Falling off the hill
Palatine Hill. Tumbling. There is a group of us, but then we are
each alone. Laughter covers up our fears, for some of us there is a
strange lightness in our limbs. We board. (Stewardesses smile to
cover their frowns: They know our type.) The flights are long, the
air conditioned air feeding our lungs as we slowly realize our
journey to come. At this point thoughts and images of friends and
family are clear, concise. Later they blend into a haze, the word
America becomes an ideal. A place of freedom and riots, and
hamburgers. Almost there now we see the sun rise on the horizon.
We crowd the windows, day breaks. We reallze we have already
seen the sun rise today, but now is today yeasterday, or was it
tomorrow? It Is an omen. Something happens to you If you see the
sun rise twice on the same day.
Days of farrilly, foreign words bouncing through you mind as in
a pinball ma<;hlne. There are three rooms, bathrooms, all
containing different fixtures. I am assigned to one without a toilet.
(Salvation comes in the form of a douche.) There are birds to be
eaten, small blackbirds from the yard. Urchins from the sea,
broken on the jagged rocks, exposing orange eggs. Eat.
(Intestines squirm on plates, waiting for ingestion, and I wonder
how you can put intestines in intestines?) Friends become
lmpor.tant, sometimes for refuge from the harsh sounding words.
(When are they talking about you?)
Different days. Days later. The days of waiting for letters are
past. At once things are natural. Things are right. Words connect,
fuse with the part of the brain that diclphers. Clothes wear out,
hair grow, weight Is put on or taken off. There is some sort
metamorphisls. A shedding, we are snakes.
Days follow. Days of beaches, trains, mountains, trains, buses,
tours, fatigue. Fatigue. Sometimes home sounds good.
Sometimes we have no sense of home. Life Is rich (our pockets
poori Our minds full, new growth. Returning to the center. Things
fall apart. We travel eight inches on the map. Another train station.
Both stations sell stale ham sandwhlches. (And so does the
station In Bakersfield, CA.) One day we climb the walls of a
medlevalclty, it is after midnight, we are locked out of the hostel.
We are soldiers, spys, transformed by the moonlight. Dogs nip at
our heels. We climb through windows and doors, into the fortress.
The enemy knows not. (And they said it couldn't be done.) Days of
hot sun, burning bodies, breasts, buttocks. Virgins under dappled
clouds, we hear the scorch of our flesh and revel in it's browness.
(Someone mentions Portland:rain:there Is nothing to do but
laugh.)
We live, each cell breathes. We write postcards between the
lines, and for some it doesn't matter If the lines are read. The lines
are in heart. There Is immediacy.

The yearbook staff at school has asked me to write a few lines
about our theater trip to Manhattan last fall. Should I write about the
bums who piss in the subway stairs, or the Wednesday matinee blue
haired ladies' clubs, or the never-ending screech of taxi brakes and
honking horns, or the cockroaches in the bathroom at night (don't
deny it-we kept one as a souvenir), or the rows of porno theaters, or
the personable waiters at Charlie's down the block, or the other desk
clerks who wouldn't give us our mall even when we asked nicely, or
the cops on horseback who never actually rode anywhere, or the
German tourists who would cram the elevators beyond capacity and
then giggle furiously, or when some of us saw Henry Fonda In
Smiter's Deli and Liza Minelli and Yul Brenner in Charlie's, or when
the crosstown buses would start off on a green light and shove
exhaust in your face, or the contortionist comedians at the
I mprovlsatlon Cafe, or the awesome amounts of money we'd pay for
three shots of Jack Daniels, or the drug dealers who would. amble
around muttering, " ... coke ... joints ... black beauties ...
back-to-school joints ... ", or the colorful punk rockers
who would sneer at us clean-cut kids, or how Herm and Gil at
Cafe de la Bagel would give us free pizza if we smiled at them long
enough, or"the insanity of otherwise stable folks on Christopher
Street in Greenwich Village on a Friday night, or the way Bob Porter
would escape to Pennsylvania every other weekend, or the time we
got lost in the subway system and ended up in Queens, or the way
we'd marvel when Mike the bellman from Staten Island would say,
"Youse guys ... ?"
Or should we perpetuate the myth that New York is sinking under
the weight of its own skyscrapers? Maybe what they don't know
won't hurt them.

landmarks in D.C. and it's surrounding area
(i.e. Mt. Vernon, Charlottesville, Monticello,
Richmond, James;town, Williamsburg) ... A
great deal of energy was exerted by all
participants in all directions at all times. "We
enjoyed the trip in direct proportion to the

6 At a school where academics take precedence over
sporting events and time is an especially dear
commodity, showing up for daily practices and
games takes a good deal of self-discipline. For
twenty young women on Lewis and Clark's soccer
team, however, the opportunity to escape study
pressures and work with others toward a common
goal was well worth the commitment of time and
energy.
Soccer provided a space in each day for turning
minds loose and letting bodies take over. "You don't
think about what you're doing. It's like putting your
brain into cruise control and just letting it happen.''
Through physical involvement, the pressures and
intensity of college life were relieved, allowing the
girls just a little time to breathe freely.
Success for the team required much hard work
and ettort spent in developing individual skills, but
even more significant was the team's ability to
combine these talents and function as a unit.
Working closely in a team situation was a valuable
experience for each member, engendering
discoveries within themselves as well as one
another. Relationships which began in sweat and
competition were carried off the field and added to
the daily routine of campus life.
Although the ·women of LC's soccer team had
quite a successful season, it wasn't whether they
won or lost, or even how they played the game. The
importance of soccer was wrapped up in the
underlying benefits of physical activity and group
participation. These provided the incentive
necessary to bolster individual dedication and keep
team spirit high. a: w C, z ::, :c

12 Providing in:sight into the benevolence of Napoleon
Bonaparte contrasted against woman's cunning
wit, George Bernard Shaw's The Man of Destiny was
the first of five plays presented by the Theater
Department. The one-act comedy, which ran from
October 30 through November 4, focused on a short
episode in the life of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Though Slhaw himself did not view this as one
of his best pllays, his unique portrayal of Napoleon
was both humorous and entertaining. The
production i1ncluded just four cast members: David
Halliburton as General Napoleon Bonaparte, Len
Stevens as Giuseppe Grandi, William Jordon as The
Lieutenant, and Julie Grant as The Strange Lady. z

14 It was mid morning before sunbeams began slicing
through the fog which usually accompanies a seaside
sunrise. Within the lodge, forty-one voices were heard as
a unit, tripping down the scales of a Handelian choral
arrangement. At frequent intervals the music would stop
and one voice would rise above the rest,"I want people to
remember us as the choir with diction. There must be
more 'm' and more 'f' In the word magnify. Pronounce the
second syllable as you would the word 'knee,' and don't
forget to emphasize consonants."
The director's words were well heeded by some.
Others, however, were mesmerized by the roaring noise
of waves crashing down upon sand. Yet others sat
focusing, then refocusing reluctant eyes, still feeling
ettects from the night before. All were intent upon
personal attempts to Inconspicuously turn and capture a
glimpse of sun upon surf.
Rehearsal went on in spite of the sun, because that's
what it takes to become an ensemble. There would be
time enough for the sun and the sand and the surf and
most Importantly. for knowing one another ... but later.
The now of that time was devoted to music, for music
was that which had brought us together. Choir provided a
special place to combine our talents, creating a unique
beauty for us to share with anyone willing to listen. t--a: -Q. en

16 U~wis and Clark's football team forged through a frustrating
suason, with as many downed defensive lineman as toppled
teilephone poles in Portland. The Pioneers were plagued with
injuries during the fall season, with up to six first-string players
always sidelined. LC's gridders fought hard, undauntedly
meeting their foes with strength and spirit, but the 37-member
teiam, led by captain Jon McNerney, ended the season with a
dtiscouraglng record of 2-6.
Head Coach Fred Wilson's Pioneer charges attracted
weather-braving fans at the Saturday home games. Griswold
Stadium resounded with rally squad chants, pep band fight
songs, and encouraging cheers from students, alumni. and
parents. "It's really rewarding to know there are people out
there rooting for us," one team member commented.
Special features during the grid season were Supa Saturday,
with a picnic lunch on the field, Homecoming, including
cioronation and float parade, and LC's Athletic Hall of Fame,
honoring athletes from Early Pioneer days. In addition, SOFA
director Steve Fendrich trained with the team, although he
mmained on the bench. Going to Saga was part of every students' routine at
Lewis and Clark and for most it brought a welcome
break from studies. Saga had a "come-as-you-are"
atmosphere that allowed individuals the chance to
chat with friends in a casual, relaxed way.
Mornings brought a solemn crowd, desperately
trying to wake up for dreaded eight o'clock classes.
Lunch saw people rushing in and out and trying to
make one o'clock classes, or all afternoon study
sessions. At dinner they came through wired about
the day's events, yet set to consume a leisurely meal.
A pleasant chat with friends seemed relaxing after
another busy day.
Getting into Saga was often a problem for those
who forgot their 1.0. cards, so, as a solution
everyones' numbers were given to the attendent.
People swarmed into the dining room and warmly
greeted the Saga attendants. People provided the
atmosphere and flavor of Saga even when the food
didn't.

20 One didn't have to be a varsity jock or a physical
education major to be involved in athletic activity at
Lewis and Clark this year. From football to fencing,
and squash to social dance, the Health and Physical
Education Department offered a wide variety of
activity courses. With approximately 45 offerings
each term, as well as readily available recreational
facilities, LC students had endless opportunities to
keep physically fit. A stronger incorporation of recreational activities
under intramurals began winter term. Sue Peterson,
Intramural Program Director, explained that the
emphasis and expansion of recreational and
intramural opportunities hoped to encourage
greater involvement of students who did not
ordinarily turn out for the structured varsity
program. LC's athletic program made physical
activity whether for competition or relaxation,
available to all. Kathleen Gardner

Thus the real treasure, that which can put an
end to all our poverty and all our trials, Is never
very far; there is no need to seek it in a distant
country. It lies buried in the most intimate parts
of our own house; that is, of our own being. If it
is behind the star, the center of the life and
warmth that rule our existence, the heart of our
heart, if only we knew how to unearth it. And
yet-there is this strange and persistent fact,
that it is only after a pious journey in a distant
region, in a new land, that the meaing of that
inner voice guiding us on our search can make
Itself understood by us. And to this strange and
persistent fact is added another: that he who
revels to us the meaning of our mysterious
inward pilgrimage must himself be a stranger,
of another belief and another race.

44 Sand castles on the beach, popcorn and
peanut butter at weekly dorm meetings,
frisbees, toilet brushes, extra-strength
cleanser, and cooperation ... these are what
make up the Stewart Co-op. It's a "different
kind of place," as dorms on campus go, where
people take time for each other in addition to
classes, studies, and SAGA.
"In the middle of October we found ourselves
caring about neighbors and roomates the way
we cared about old friends and family." Funny,
how cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming the
lounge could bring people so close together.
Actually, maintenance duties were much less
a part of Stewart than the attitudes of students
who lived there. Responsibility and
cooperation were key factors in planning and
implementing activities, as well as in simply
living together. "Everyone was included in
discussions of every issue. If there was a
disagreement we worked together in hor 9S of
making a compromise."
Stewart was a social place where open doors
invited friends to step inside and shoot the
breeze for a break in study. There was always
someone to listen; someone to care. And if wild
and crazy happenings suit the mood better. a
party was easily found.
People matter in Stewart Co-op. Perhaps this
was what made it just a little bit special, as well
as a good place to live. ..J <l

-John and Mindy Doyle Akin is a hall of many facets. Under the leadership of
Resident Director Marian Michner, the women of
Akin experienced some exciting events together.
Highlighting the year was the solar eclipse on
February 26. The dorm travelled to Eastern
Washington to watch the sunrise, and the
remarkable sight of total solar eclipse. Other dorm
activities included a groundhog day (secret)
ceremony, a journey to the ocean, a trip up the
Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls and Eagle
Creek, and an inter-hall talent show. Each floor
experienced the year together-floor dinners.
Christian Fellowship, excursions downtown,
movies-memories. A woman in the Yakutat country said something which displeased the
frogs, and she was taken away by them. Next spring a man saw her
among the frogs. So the people drained the pond and recovered her. She
had been living on black mud like the frogs, and after her people got all of
this out of her, she died. From this, according to some, the Kiksa'di claim
the frog crest and names.
A Kagawantan chief having died one of his friends called upon the
Kiksa'di to take care of his body. The frog people, hearing this, thought
that they were meant, and when the corpse was being burnt a big frog
jumped out from the place, made a noise, and then jumped into the
flames. Afterward they captured slaves for the dead man, and, when they
put food into the fire for him, they named the frog as well. A popular response to the
modern dance and ballet
classes enhanced the
possibility for the
continuation of a dance
program. Pianist, Michael
Vuchlich, complimented the
dancer's footsteps with a
classical touch of Chopin
and contemporary Scott and
Joplan ragtime. The classes
taught by Jackie Bennet,
specializing In modern
dance, and Kathy Lausche,
in ballet, were filled to their
maximum capacity of thirty.
Jackie gracefully inspired
her dancers, utilizing
various African and modern
dance forms. "Students were
enthusiastic for such an
early hour," Jackie
commented. Kathy focused
on techniques developing
the stretch and strength of
her dancers.

dancer, who has studied
dance in Paris, Elinore

workshop "The Master

68 Who is Godot? When this question was asked of
Samuel Beckett, author of the absurdist masterpiece
Waiting for Godot, he answered: If I knew I wouldn't
have written the play."
Fir Acres Theatre approached Godot from an
unusual viewpoint-it stressed behavioral and base
values by pinpointing the character's essential
humaness. (These qualities are often overlooked in
intellectual European productions.) The end result was
a textured performance in which Gogo and Didi were
portrayed as decaying icons of our unforgiving culture,
seeming dull and doomed in their unfortunate senility.
Such character's preoccupations provided comic relief
during these futile times of waiting for salvation which,
at best, are infuriatingly abstract. The set was a hell
hole of scatological images: A bilious swamp encased
by a pimply landscape and illuminated by a shredded
sky.
The performances were energetic and specific with
the major acting loads falling on Ann Houle (Gogo) and
Dirk Van Dall (Didi). Rick Menegat and Stacey Olson

ao It's an1 early foggy morning. The lone runner moves through
a canopy of trees suspending the days waiting activities.
Hair flowing In the breeze and chest heaving from an
encounter of a steep incline or possibly the exhilaration
used at one of the stations, the runner is greeted back into
civilization by the sounds of stereos, radio-alarm clocks,
show13rs and distant voices drifting from within the dorms.
The1 Swedish running trail is a retreat even for people
whos,3 motivation is not physical. In fact, many have found
composure, solitude and revitalization by walking or hiking
along the trail. For all, to be with nature for a moment is an
impor1ant element of the day.
Many will spend time on this two and one half mlle trail that
was initiated by physical education majors. At first it was dark. There was
neither wind nor rain. There were
no people or animals. In the
middle of the water, on a piece of
land, sat Qawaneca. He sat by his
fire breathing the smoke of
burning cedar. On the edge of the
land stood another god. Looking
northward, he saw an ash tree.
Looking southward, he saw a red
cedar. The ref ore the ash and red
cedar are sacred above all other
trees. Qawaneca chose three rocks and two
pieces of earth. He threw one rock into the
water. Then tJe listened. It went down,
down, down! ,He threw another rock; then
the third. Then he threw a piece of earth. He
listened. He t/-i,rew the other piece of earth.
After the fifth throw, mighty waves arose.
They dashed against the land, then
receded. Thus were the tides formed. All this time it was dark. Qawaneca tried to make
daylight, but could not. Then he called all the birds
to a great council. He asked them how to make
sunlight. Only one bird knew. He said in the far
north was the sun. Two wild geese had been there. n(J '4 -
Qawaneca pulled two hairs from his
head and threw thf~m on the ground.
They became snakes. Soon there
were many on thE~ land and in the
water. They made1 storms by blowing with their mouths. One long
serpent coiled itself five times
around the world, so it does not fall

104 (Wednesday night: late) For $200 the fraternity would do just about
anything-and there they were on a cold and rainy night shoveling
splintery red barkdust into red, maintenance wheelbarrows. They gym
was being transformed into the annual Sawdust festival.
(Thursday morning: early) Inside Pamplin a strange metamorphisis
had rapidly taken place. Amidst the pounding of hammers, the jokes
and voices of artisans, organizers, and assisting students creaited a
humming of activity that was to last for the days and nights to ,come. By the time the festival began you could hardly recognize
the gym structure, which by then was hidden beneath layers
of pottery, jewelry, ceramic whistles, weavings, flowers and
even a small herd of stuffed unicorns. The tastes and smells of
the sawdust festival tempted even the most stringent of
dieters' palates with treats of bagels with cream cheese,
teriyaki steak, Tillamook cheese and avacado sandwiches,
brownies. cookies and more. By and large it was an
irresistable affair.
(Sunday evening: late and rainy) All good things must end,
and so did the festival. With cars somewhat lighter and
pockets comfortably fuller, the artisans took to the road
once again. They gym's conversion was a Cinderella-like
process ... load after carload of barkdust-this time on its way
out to be eventually shoveled and raked on to spring
deserving flower and shrub beds around school. w > 0 m

110 Lewis and who?
Q: Why was a liberal arts college in Portland, Or. represented in the 1979 intercollegiate
sailing national championships?
a) 13ecause Portland is known world-wide for its large bodies of water and its warm, steady
brnezes, and thus attracts many sailors.
b) !Because the school's large student body causes creates competition for team positions
and provides for a great depth of talent.
c) 13ecause that school's P.E. department like many around the country recognizes sailing
as a Varsity sport and offers great support to its sailors.
d) None of the above.
l'f you chose "d" congratulations you are now as baffled as the rest of the Pacific
Northwest. However there are a few people who know the answer to the question which
lin1~ers in such sailing Meccas as Seattle and Victoria. They are the ones who watched the
rain run down their empty sails. They are the ones who drifted and watched as near-by
ho1Jses sent up straight columns of smoke which seemed to support the ceiling of clouds. I
am referring, of course, to those people who both raced up on the Northwest circuit and
provided a backdrop of competition at the many practice sessions. They know how far a little
decjication and practice can go against huge universities with gigantic waterfront
complexes. More importantly they know how much they owe to the students who support
the sailing program and especially to Robert Wilkin who has helped us from our day of
conception.

112 Rowing. A sensation? An obsession? A sport? Questions likE1 thesearise in each of our minds as our shell slices
through the perfectly smooth water, leaving a straight riddle1 marked out by four puddles, four on each side.
It is cold on the river at this hour. The warmth of the sun comos slowly; long after the light has touched us. Golden
light glistens off our varnished oars and reflects in the puddles they leave as we lift our blades out of the water. We
row up the channel through the last of the damp fog that char;acteristically hangs in isolated spots just above the
water's surface.
We feel fortunate because not all days are as enjoyable or as beautiful as this particular spring morning. At other
times it can be rainy or icy and our hands will seem to freeze against the rough oar handles. Each of us have cursed
crew at one time or another. The feeling of hail hitting the b,ack of your neck would make anyone question the
purpose of their being there. We've felt frustration and discouragement, but after each practice our determination
to better our efforts increases. We feel like we are all doing what we do best; that we have a personal confidence
developed from the knowledge that every muscle moves in perfect unison, in perfect balance with seven other
bodies and a sixty foot shell of red cedar. Rowing is an art wherie. somewhat likeZen, the mind and the body become
one. tU)

teams performed very well despite
some handicaps, according to Head
Coach Eldon Fix. Having coached the

about the 78-79 season, "We had some

problems. Coached by 1978 LC graduate Linda Dickinson, the women's tennis team
made an impressive showing at the NCWSA Regional Tournament, taking
fourth place overall. Susie Hunt and Dana Barnes qualified for national
competition In the second-position double seed. Fine performances were
made throughout the season by singles players Pam Lowen, Hunt,
Barnes, Shaun Bull, Sandra Johnson, and Betsy Cody.

118 Kayaking amidst the remote Islands of Barkley Sound in Pacific
Rim National Park, students from Lewis and Clark tracked the
trails of Nootka Indians and sea lions. Barkley Sound, located on
the west side of Vancouver Island, is renowned for Its rugged
coastline of stratified granite formations and fiords. On one
occasion the group crawled on hands and knees through a dense
forest of cedar, hemlock and salal and observed a massive herd of
barking sea lions, pups and fighting bulls. Others investigated the
summer fishing and whaling sites of ancient Indian villages, while
beachcombers discovered bright arrays of multicolored starfish
and moonsnalls, and dug for clams and mussels. Evening meals
were often a lavish feast of these gourmet delicacies. Kayak
exr,editions, hikes, observation of wildlife and peaceful moments
of contemplation and sketching provided the explorers of

126 ► This spring the Lewis and Clark community had the
opportunity to listen to several prominent people
speak on the theme In Search Of Humanness. This
was the title of LC's Spring Forum Series, sponsored
by the Asssociated Students of Lewis and Clark and
other organizations. Speakers ranging from
Michelle Rosaldo and Harold Taylor to Eugene
McCarthy and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke brought
hundreds of people to their lectures, all held in
Agnes Flanagan Chapel. In addition to the lecture
each speaker gave there were also informal talks and
interviews with classes and campus organizations
The Forum Series utilized the talents of freshman
Jan Nelson to Interpret each speech for the deaf.
Speakers and lecture themes were chosen by the
Interdisciplinary Forum Series Committee
consisting of twelve students, five faculty and staff,
and chairperson Stacy Rout. Special page credits

When I was six years old, I wanted to be a
garbageman. No kidding. The reason I wanted
to be a garbageman was because whenever
they picked up the garbage at my house, they
were always friendly and cheerful and they
would talk to me and make me feel good. Ya
know, people are sure paid a lot now days to
make other people feel good ...... .

True education Is the learning that reveals to
man the order, the cooperation and beauty, the
harmony and discipline that exists in
nature ... in the universe ... and teaches
him, through his own disciplines, his reason,
imagination and eventually his wisdom, to play
his part in creating a higher order and a deeper
harmony. This kind of education ... is man's
weapon, so that the magnitude of his own
inventions and discoveries shall not overwhelm
him.

156 Tucked deep among the shadows
of the majestic fir trees of Lewis
and Clark, lies Hartzfeld Hall. On a
clear day, you can look south
from Templeton Center and see
four sturdy red-brick structures
peeking out through the trees.
Some say you can see them on
cloudy days, as well.
The four units, given such
creative names as A, B, C, and D,
house students who have
dedicated their junior and senior
years to building their human
minds to a climactic point of
academic supremacy. It is a domain where Socrates
is discu~sed more than the
weather; where solving America's
energy crisis is Friday night fare;
and scrabble and chess are
played while sipping vintage wine
and nibbling on various cheeses
of the world.
But among the books,
intellectualism, and search for
truth, lies a base of emotional
trust and love which greets all
who enter each unit. A smiling
face, a gentle snort, gattaw, or
chuckle, or the helpful advice of
older and wiser upper-class
people await those who venture
into Hartzfeld Hall.
-Steven Fandrich There can be no doubt that Copeland Dormitory is one of the livliest of
Its species on the LC campus. From coed to international floors the
residents are known for their outrageous parties and activities. Its
cohesiveness is due to a diverse collection of spirited personalities.
Being the largest dormitory could be detrimental to creating
successful large scale social events but the organizers and leaders of
Copeland were able to put their size and diversity to good use. Typical
of Copeland's escapades during 78-79 were the Copeland Olympics.
This afternoon affair involved nearly 200 residents and was dedicated
to retiring A. D. Diane Savage. The events were appropriately zaney
and brought the Spring term to a joyous conclusion. : : .: ···: ···: .. . ....... . :··: : .· . ..:.. ·: : .. : .. . . . . . : : : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A 1979 A sense of escaping, but then again a fall. Falling off the hill
Palatine Hill. Tumbling. There is a group of us, but then we are
each alone. Laughter covers up our fears, for some of us there is a
strange lightness in our limbs. We board. (Stewardesses smile to
cover their frowns: They know our type.) The flights are long, the
air conditioned air feeding our lungs as we slowly realize our
journey to come. At this point thoughts and images of friends and
family are clear, concise. Later they blend into a haze, the word
America becomes an ideal. A place of freedom and riots, and
hamburgers. Almost there now we see the sun rise on the horizon.
We crowd the windows, day breaks. We reallze we have already
seen the sun rise today, but now is today yeasterday, or was it
tomorrow? It Is an omen. Something happens to you If you see the
sun rise twice on the same day.
Days of farrilly, foreign words bouncing through you mind as in
a pinball ma<;hlne. There are three rooms, bathrooms, all
containing different fixtures. I am assigned to one without a toilet.
(Salvation comes in the form of a douche.) There are birds to be
eaten, small blackbirds from the yard. Urchins from the sea,
broken on the jagged rocks, exposing orange eggs. Eat.
(Intestines squirm on plates, waiting for ingestion, and I wonder
how you can put intestines in intestines?) Friends become
lmpor.tant, sometimes for refuge from the harsh sounding words.
(When are they talking about you?)
Different days. Days later. The days of waiting for letters are
past. At once things are natural. Things are right. Words connect,
fuse with the part of the brain that diclphers. Clothes wear out,
hair grow, weight Is put on or taken off. There is some sort
metamorphisls. A shedding, we are snakes.
Days follow. Days of beaches, trains, mountains, trains, buses,
tours, fatigue. Fatigue. Sometimes home sounds good.
Sometimes we have no sense of home. Life Is rich (our pockets
poori Our minds full, new growth. Returning to the center. Things
fall apart. We travel eight inches on the map. Another train station.
Both stations sell stale ham sandwhlches. (And so does the
station In Bakersfield, CA.) One day we climb the walls of a
medlevalclty, it is after midnight, we are locked out of the hostel.
We are soldiers, spys, transformed by the moonlight. Dogs nip at
our heels. We climb through windows and doors, into the fortress.
The enemy knows not. (And they said it couldn't be done.) Days of
hot sun, burning bodies, breasts, buttocks. Virgins under dappled
clouds, we hear the scorch of our flesh and revel in it's browness.
(Someone mentions Portland:rain:there Is nothing to do but
laugh.)
We live, each cell breathes. We write postcards between the
lines, and for some it doesn't matter If the lines are read. The lines
are in heart. There Is immediacy.

C, z -Dear Richard,
The yearbook staff at school has asked me to write a few lines
about our theater trip to Manhattan last fall. Should I write about the
bums who piss in the subway stairs, or the Wednesday matinee blue
haired ladies' clubs, or the never-ending screech of taxi brakes and
honking horns, or the cockroaches in the bathroom at night (don't
deny it-we kept one as a souvenir), or the rows of porno theaters, or
the personable waiters at Charlie's down the block, or the other desk
clerks who wouldn't give us our mall even when we asked nicely, or
the cops on horseback who never actually rode anywhere, or the
German tourists who would cram the elevators beyond capacity and
then giggle furiously, or when some of us saw Henry Fonda In
Smiter's Deli and Liza Minelli and Yul Brenner in Charlie's, or when
the crosstown buses would start off on a green light and shove
exhaust in your face, or the contortionist comedians at the
I mprovlsatlon Cafe, or the awesome amounts of money we'd pay for
three shots of Jack Daniels, or the drug dealers who would. amble
around muttering, " ... coke ... joints ... black beauties ...
back-to-school joints ... ", or the colorful punk rockers
who would sneer at us clean-cut kids, or how Herm and Gil at
Cafe de la Bagel would give us free pizza if we smiled at them long
enough, or"the insanity of otherwise stable folks on Christopher
Street in Greenwich Village on a Friday night, or the way Bob Porter
would escape to Pennsylvania every other weekend, or the time we
got lost in the subway system and ended up in Queens, or the way
we'd marvel when Mike the bellman from Staten Island would say,
"Youse guys ... ?"
Or should we perpetuate the myth that New York is sinking under
the weight of its own skyscrapers? Maybe what they don't know
won't hurt them.
-Deedee Deedee-Etta. The three month course led us through
outstanding galleries, museums and historical
landmarks in D.C. and it's surrounding area
(i.e. Mt. Vernon, Charlottesville, Monticello,
Richmond, James;town, Williamsburg) ... A
great deal of energy was exerted by all
participants in all directions at all times. "We
enjoyed the trip in direct proportion to the
effort we putinto it." ... Wild times were had at
Cathy's Woods H;3lloween party, Mr. Smiths
Piano Bar, Room 411 and all over
Georgetown ... "It was a hell of a time and
we'll have to do it again."

166 "The country side around here is some of the
most beautiful in Kenya, and all the
Californians say it reminds them of home. We
are about 22 miles from Homo Bay which is on
Lake Victoria. The fields are covered with
maize and beans and sugar cane plants. I had
my first taste of sugar cane the other day.
Banana trees grow all over and are very cheap
and we eat them by the ton-banana
pancakes, banana fritters, bananas plain,
banana scones etc. There are a lot of different
bananas here and some are even green."
"Everyone walks here and the women carry
everything on their heads which makes for
good posture. We are staying in a large
compound with Japheth Angila and his family.
Japheth is pretty rich as he has a truck (a small
Toyota) which he drives Into Homo Bay every
day for work. Japheth's wife had her ninth
child, a baby boy, yesterday. Families around
here are very big and polygamy is still
common."
"As a whole I am really learning a lot about
people and myself. When I first got to Kenya I
thought I would never get used to all the smells
and flies, but now it Is natural ... In the
country the people seem a lot happier and
money is not such a big thing. There is still a lot
of subsistence farming though the government
is pushing for cash crops."

After four room changes and a major exodus we
are now located in Chungking Mansion. I've decided
that "urban" Is "urbatn" as far as "Western" cities go.
The difference comies in when you try to order
something to eat or you ride 15 minutes away from
the city on a train full of Chinese faces and a little boy
stands to piss on thi~ floor behind the bench where
you sit while his mc,ther helps him, and then you
arrive at the train station constructed of plywood in
search of a Buddhist temple and no one can speak
English. 170 Away from the hue and cry of Hong Kong here in
Macau. The ocean sea breeze blows through the
room on a 100% humidity day. The furniture is old,
the ceiling high, the service lazy and friendly. Rest.
China had been an exciting time. We received the
most in1credulous looks of surprise and curiosity
wherevor we went. In some ways we felt as if we were
merely the next wave of "foreign devils" who came to
oppres~, the people ... The women of China are
beautiful; their cheeks are flushed with the chilly air
and the1ir long black hair is tied back and restricted
modestlly in pigtails. The children are happy and
plump. -We walk

You come to expect the contrasts of Pen.I, but you
never get used to them ... Living in a fine house with
a wealthy family and walking downtown past the
corner garbage pile with yesterday's left-overs, last
week's paper and a dead dog. Riding a bus through
middle-class suburbs into the Industrial outskirts of
the city and beyond that to the "pueblo jovenes'
where people live in houses made of reed mats. No
water, no electricity, the floors in some still furrowed
from the last planting of what was once a corn field.
The hike to Machu Picchu offered us a view of
Perl.I we will never forget. Blue, grey and white peaks
wrapped in clouds seem to stretch forever.
Breathtaking. Magnificent. Unbelievable.
Astounding. Beautiful. All the words are inadequate
to describe the feeling of euphoria we share,
standing there on top of the world. 176
