nt An Introduction .....
We have taken a great step in producing this book. It is not only different in approach
from yearbooks this school has seen in the past, it contains the vitality of the school that
has seldom been presented in past publications.
We have not attempted to be encyclopedic. We have, instead, tried lo find moments
throughout the school year that would express something of what goes in and what comes
out lo make a college.
Therefore, we have been subjective in our approach, picking al random snatches of
life on campus that will give a glimpse of the year's events and their participants.
We have included commentary rather than exposition, because in one sense the photo­
graphs more than speak for themselves, and because there is a great deal worth comment
at the school that is Lewis and Clark College.
---The Editors Registration
Beanied and cmbarassed by new sur­
roundings, freshmen fought their ball
point way through registration queues.
Fol lowing were upperclassmen who
had aged and sobered suddenly over
the summer, but still retained their
overfrit'ndl~ acquaintances, shoving in
shuffling lines, quick jock speech,
nashing pins jewelled and chained
and protruding f'rom newly bought
sweaters. Smokily t\\Ct'dctl and smiling
waning ummer smiles, professors
participated in Lhc agonizing paper­
work, grumbling about turning into
accountants for the sake of academic
freedom. The registrar listed 1,:343 en­
rollees, 100 facult), induding expedi­
tions into ~tcxico and France. Happenings
One evening during reading week a
large group of people, most with con­
fusion in their eyes, gathered in the
cafeteria and stood for fifteen min­
utes. Then a woman in shirt and pants
by the name of Ann Halprin said a few
words. Slowly people began moving
about, placing chairs on tables. Final­
ly when all the chairs had been placed
on tables a line of people with funny
expressions in their eyes walked slow­
ly around the tables. Some people
crawled under the tables. Still others
sat on the chairs that had been placed
on lop of the tables and pretended to
read books. One or two people walked
stiffly about reading outloud. After
the chairs had bee n taken off the
tables Ann Halprin and others said it
was a big success. One or two stu­
dents said there's nothing like relax­
ing and being beat and zen and Jack
Kerouac-Allen Ginsberg-discoteque
and wild and letting yourself go. The
next day several professors commented
that it was one of the finest things
that has happened here. Reading Week
First Reading Week of the year was
devoted to existentialism and its intri­
cacies and simplicities. Coming to
school both to compound the former
quality and explain the latter, were
Dr. William Barrett, whose book, "Ir­
rational Man," was protruding from
hip pockets and hip conversations
during the week; Herbert Blau,
talented theater director from San
Francisco's Actor's Workshop; and
Ann Halprin, experimentalist dancer
from San Francisco.
Existentialism and its influence on
contemporary arts and letters was the
main topic of conversation and think­
ing, and students were exposed to
contemporary works for a magical
week before returning some to more
mundane situations before test tubes,
dissection tables, account books and
public opinion polls. Freshly stimulated by rapt, week-long attention
to existentialism, freshmen and sophomores at­
tended to less serious but perhaps more exciting
and more popular chores. The curious rite of prov­
ing manhood involves not slaying a bear or walk­
ing on hot coals, but in dragging one another Tug-of-War and Manhood
through mud, encouraged by delighted excited
screams and giggles from edge-of-the-foray maid­
ens who were going to spend the aftemoon on
their letter-writing but decided to come down to
sec the fun. Manhood proved, all went home sog­
gily. Language Learning and the Lab
With rows of huddled, earphoned students inton­
ing in tongues to its tape machines, the language
lab probably became the most promising of the
new facilities on campus, which included Japa­
nese baths, more grass-green carpets, and pro-mises promises. Presided over by one of the few
student supervisors in the college, the lab was
popular, versatile and expensive. IL owed much of
its allraction to arriving and departing foreign
study participants and to the activities of the
growing college language departmenl. Frank Elliott Bearded, well-dressed, and constantly
smiling beneath his heavy-rimmed glass­
es, LC grad Frank Elliotl retumed afler
nearly a decade of painting in Italy, Ger­
many and Australia. His exhibit, which
he said was housed in one of the best, although unplanned, galleries in Portland,
the freshman dorm recreation hall, was
most interesting and provocative as a
documentary of the maturing of artistic
talent.
--Vern Rutsala
Vern Rutsala is impatient and powerful, and
an observer. He picks out experiences and
builds on them with an equal talent for choos­
ing words. In his first published collection,
The Window, the poet does not see the world
through stained glass, or rose-colored glass,
or smoked glass. His view is through a magni­
fying glass. ot distorted. But examined
closely. What he sees are little things. He
feels them. He sees them as adding to a big­
ger, equally grating existence.
He is a Lewis and Clark voice not lionized.
He should be read more. His power lies not
in praising beauty, but in ferreting out ugli­
ness He come to grips with un-beauty with
his spotlight, from his view from his own
Window. His impatience is classical. Arn it
is penetrating:
How does the mind deal with this
malignant time, these years that grow
fat on death and slake their thirst for
chaos every decade? .....
-----"Gilbert & Market" The
Brass Pot Homecoming Displays Perhaps the most outrageous part of Homecoming
at Lewis and Clark is Lhat few p e rs on s come
home to see it. It is provincial, local and pre­
sided over by undergraduates, and it is seldom
different. Usually. The festivities negotiated by
the entrepreneuring skills of John Venator were
more original, perhaps even more memorable for
those attending than in past autumns. The Brass
Pot night of entertainment filled the Commons
with coffeed and coiffed students, and original
and local entertainers that superseded the usual
long-playing record types. Attractions included ..... and the Queen herself.
Mike Russo and Ron Brentano, fol k singers;
Senor and Senora Estaban Antonez, flamenco
guitarists, and enthusiastic Carol Subotnick, a
real jazzy singer. Phi Alpha won the display con­
test trophy for constructing its exhibit along the
weekend's theme, "What A Way to Go." Visiting
parents and alums were treated with special open
houses and coffee times at the various resident
halls, and with the trnditional afternoon football
game. ight time revelers danced in Templeton
Commons, and were visited by Queen Val Harmon. Sometimes win, sometimes lose .....
Football has become the great American coll­
egiate traditi~n. Pompous, garnering a great
deal of attention and money, never questioned,
football teams capture everyone's fancy and
pull a lot of wool over proud schools' eyes. Joe
Huston's teams have been no exception at LC
and this year with a 4-1 conference record h;

Coach Joe Huston . , Intramural
Intramural is prob ab 1 y the
healthiest of the sports pro­
grams on campus--and cer­
tainly the roughest. lt is the
healthiest because in mos L
cases there is no power-hun­
gry coach leading his pawns
into battle for t'he sake of a
win-loss record. Healthy be.,
cause it covers a wide range
of sports, usually including
the same players each time ....
something l i k e an athletic
repertory !heater.
It is rough because part1c1-
pants are uninhibited by rules
and often make up their own,
thereby forgetting the long­
forgotten-anyhow dictum: "It
matters not if you win .... etc."
Intramural sports are most ap­
pealing because of their de­
mocracy. They do not give
rides to former high school
athletes, nor tum down a
player because he is bad. All
he needs really is spirit. Long-distance Runners.
They call the sport cross-country
track. It is gruelling, silent, difficult,
has little recognition ---the ideal,
spartan existence. The runner, the
athlete, the masochist who partici­
pates usually demands fulfillment of
personal goals. His coach's bead is full of figures from past, ancient, for­
gotten performances, but it all depends
to the athlete on his own work, his
personal, private, tortuous loneliness
which demands and expects everyone
a winner. Bob Bauer

Coach Eldon Fix To
End the
Death
Penalty In mid-October the college was host to the
National Conference on Capital Punishment,
attended by legislators, religious leaders,
law enforcement officials and educators.
Guest speaker was Clinton Duffy, fonner
warden of San Quentin. All of a sudden, it
seemed, capital punishment became an
issue, for in Oregon especially, with the
ballot proposing its abolition (duly carried
out by the voters a month later), the sense­
lessness and cruelty of it was bared. November Elections
The November election brought out
the party faithful on campus. Pam­
phlets, placards and promises greeted
the season, and debators wised by
reading party slogans tried to define
the Texan and the Arizonan, brought
matters to an emotional head, and de­
cided that if the voting age were
lowered to 18 they would vote with
their parents, not their professors.
Local politicians, including Portland
Democratic organizer Robert Stoll,
visited students to tell them of the
workings within a party and to enlist
their help. Young Republicans, many
embarassed by their national standard
bearer, concentrated on local politics,
and proved hard work can overcome by
helping fill the Oregon House with
GOP. Democrats rodeTexas coattails,
confident, with bated breath, on ma­
jorities already achieved, and went to
victory parties early. Both political
organizations followed up the election
w it h speakers who explained or
boasted why they won or lost. ;
He was funny because he could say sex without
blushing and he had one of those exaggerated British
accents only blokes in the movies use. His patter
kept an overflow crowd crowing, but those who have
read him consistently were bored and embarassed. It
seems that l have heard this song before, and why
does he lower himself to being a standup comic when ..... and a Punch-drunk wit ...
he could sit somewhere on Grub Street reviewing
books and people with a smirk. One gets the notion
that a Malcom Muggeridge audience is in the test
lube of a British comic's study of people, being
roasted not over a gas flame, but by Punch-drunk
wit. And he couldn't care a whit. . .... and busy people waiting.
On cold, damp, foggy mornings the gardener sits in
his open Jeep waiting for his work crew, and the sun.
!:?or it takes both the day break and some back-break­
ing sodbusting to keep the campus in trees and
flowers on a budget consisting mostly of contribu­
tions. The air and fog can whirl through the open Jeep and bring a taste of morning, and sometimes,
looking across the street at well-heeled neighbors
whose azaleas are brighter and more numerous, you
think it might be better to retire to the beach some­
where and be a weekend gardener. And the wife could
help pick out the plants. And then the sun comes out
and with the fog those thoughts are burned away. Adult School
For those who would "like to learn a
little more," the LC Adult School met
Thursday nights to find out a little
more about what was going on in the
outside world. Most persons attend­
ing were eager to make good use of
$35 courses, and met with professors
after class over coffee cups.
Sometimes the search for knowledge,
the demand for inquiry at the college,
is not its own excuse for being, but is
approached in the manner an advertis­
ing man sells his can of beer, his bar
of soap, his shiny chrome. Despite
some pretensions always added by the
official voice of the school, students
at the Adult School were able to find
their tuitions a bargain because of
quality faculty and subjects of im­
mediate and local concern.
Current problems confronted by con­
cerned scholars for the benefit of en­
couraging inquiry--it still sounds
like college propaganda, and perhaps
this time proved true. At times, you know, the schedules get a bit crowded,
and then there are a couple of dances a week apart.
And then for a month there is nothing. The annual
Lambda Fall Fantasy swirled into ovember to ac­
company falling leaves and nighttime and frosty­
fogged mornings. Templeton Commons provided the
Fant.asy. In other parts of town pajama-ed couples
attracted the attention and stares of nighttime Pajamas, and fall leaves I
strollers and inhabitants of Portland's west side a
Theta Chi appropriately enough furnished a malt;es 8
factory for the annual Pajama Dance. One can im~
agine dozens of the usual ~early f~atemal leers and
comments made when twmly attired nightdress d
c?uples a~ive~, but the da~ce' s atmosphere p!.
vided a diversion for romantic, mid-term student s. ... and dancing. Sorority Rummage
To raise money for scholarship needs
takes work and time. And doing it by
selling rummage takes patience and
energy. Alpha Gamma, one of the
college's three sororities, did it suc­
cessfully one fall day, sending odds
and ends back into the world, and
scholarship money into their ix>ckets. The Theatre at Fir Acres
The theater at Fir Acres, under the supervision of Leon Pike
and William z. Iron, got 1ts season underway with "A Phoe­
nix Too Frequent," staged succinctly on a relatively bare
stage, with simple, classic costumes.
Its second fall production, directed by drama student Alice
Walker, was a children's fairy tale, "The Red Shoes," done
before an audience of mostly children, loyal Fir Acres fans
and some faculty.
The theater on campus is one of the few areas for real artis­
tic expression at the college, and it has been aided by talent
on stage and behind the scenes. Fewer departments at LC
have more creative personnel who live their life as do
greasepaint-stained and klieg-bumed veterans of the cam-
pus theater.
And fewer areas on campus encourage the same sort of self.
expression. Bolstered by a USO tour of "Destry" and reports
of its hard routes to satisfaction, the drama department was
able to begin its season with some zest in its hind pocket.
Theater is difficult in this country because of the difficul­
ties of rounding up an audience and then trying lo please
with strength once it is in one's clutches. Therefore, one is
reluctant, but one must often resort to old stand-bys.
Too, there is the cost of staging, and buying rights to cur­
rent theater works that might add meaning to what potential
audiences in the college community would like to see.
Although in evidence there is a crop of would-be actors, the
theater has never spawned or encouraged would-be drama­
tists to be produced on campus. There is always a place to
begin, always a point at which encouragement is necessary
no matter what the product.
Relevancy is always important, and some stereotyped safe
campus drama is always foisted upon a nodding, bleary-eyed
audience. This has not been the case in the main at Fir
Acres, to the theater's credit.
Unfortunately, as is the case too often on this hill, much
that is creative is done either to amuse one's self or to
drive in a point to a blank, unblinking wall. This has been
the case at times with the theater, with only theater people
getting the advantages of fine, creative work.
Provincialism, often, begins at home.
The theater is most valuable because it exists on campus.
To some it is a waste of time, but one can al ways say that
some is not worth while in the first place. But to the other,
the potential audience, the theater at Fir Acres is potential
excitement, actual enjoyment. And students often must work ........ . Some 300 students are employed at the college, as
part of the necessary machinery of the institution.
Money helping scholarship requirements oils some of
the machinery, students after extra cash do the rest. The services performed keep the physical plant oper­
ating, and help contribute to the semi-independence
of the school. Bloodmobile
It easily becomes, and rightly so, an
emotional clarion call for help to the
less fortunate, but too far distant.
Giving blood is not for any immediate
need many times, except as a remin­
der of the daily car crashes and some­
time floods. Our detached existence
forces it to become a contest. Automobiles
When schools grow they must go somewhere. And
that means displacing someone Someone who will
protest. Someone who is left out. Sometimes, in
cities, buildings become parking lots. Sometimes,
at colleges, parking lots become buildings. Or lawns.
Or playing fields In its newly sohpisticated stale, the college has hired a traffic patrolman. With a
molorscootcr. And tickets. And someday a uniform.
A traffic commission sits to review violations and
detennine problems. And all the while the college
keeps growing. And students keep parking; some•
where. And they keep building more cars. .:. , . .

International Students
They come from around the world, but they're not so
other-worldly as sometimes presented. The college's
population of foreign students are good friends. To
themselves, and to fellow students. Many times they
are presented in the unsophisticated manner as being
freakish, strange objects, up for exhibition. They are far from home. But, being students, their home is the
academy. Each Wednesday the foreign student lunch­
eon brings them together, along with many domestic
students who have studied abroad. This provides a
forum for exchange of views and experience. They
seem most memorable, however, as fellow students.

• The Library
Housed in creaking, bursting, inade­
quate a 11 e y s, the college library
awaits its new home with book shelf
quietness. IL is the haunt for those
■ doing assigned, dogged excerpts. A
hasty refuge from a November rain
shower. Its noises magnify with each
hum or the electric clock. Always
exasperating, it is a library for every­
one. A library for no one. It is an in­
genious use of existing facilities, and
a crowded tangle of tables and ath-
letic legs. The library promises. And
gives. It sends due notices. It cata­
logues and cardifies. It sometimes
miraculously fills the need. IL is
growmg. Visiting Poets
Sponsored by the English department, the series or
poetry readings began with departmental readings of
English, German and American poets, and continued
with Irishman Richard Murphy, and American poet Jean Burden. The poetry interrupts the wall-to-wall
twilight or Tamarack Lounge, which sometimes looks
out over its wooded domain with hope, rather than
mediocre squatting, adding to the eye-level view of
trees. Construction
It pleases everyone, but it seems to
go so slowly. There is noise and dust,
and lots of paint and cement-spattered
men, but when will it be finished?
You can visualize just where the new
drinking fountain will be, if you can
read the blueprints and then look
quickly to the bony boards and cold
cement floor. The heavy, grunting
trucks rumble, raising dust that surely
gets into food. The men slant their
long ladders against the naked build­
ing facade, slapping on paint with
measured abandon. It soon takes
shape. If you don't look at it for three
weeks in a row. By mid-November the
men are replaced with a less hardy
breed, who move inside, out of the
rain, to erect scaffolds and brown­
stained boards. Their tar pots still
boil, but now it smells like something
constructive. They'll be done soon. -President's Convo
For some reasons known only to the
phenomenon called Sacajawean, the
November convocation devoted to
President John R. Howard and his
usual speeches and chats with stu­
dents was given over to a debate
about school in session the day after
Thanksgiving.
In a meeting where many po l icy
questions of seemingly more vital im­
portance could be raised, one really
wonders about quibblings such as ex,­
tra Fridays. President Howard and
his convos have become a paired insti­
tution, many times old hat, but still
vital and needed for communication. ..... and a concert at Christmastime ... .. ... ending with rain.

., Most often the season Winter conjures is full
of dull, drippy, short grey days, with dark­
cold nights to follow. Time for digging down
to studies missed last term. Time for basket­
ball, the books unread, the girls unhustled,
lhe beer in back seats undrunk. Fires are
warmer, electric blankets turned higher, rain
from eaves and trees drippier.
What snow there is comes in short, impressive
sto1ms. It equalizes the countryside, making
an all-white, even coating of the scene. It
affords an opportunity for contemplation,
quiet walks, irksome mischievous snowballs.
It makes everything wet when out of its ele­
ment. It makes everything equal and white in
its place.
Winter is long, drawn out, but makes an op­
portunity for concentration. Plans loo go
awry ---after a large and loudly played
Reading Week the season before, the opposite
occurs in winter. It is also monotonous-­
the same sweaty, cheering, sometime winning
basketball games, with the same articles
with the same adjectives in the same school
paper's same sports pages. There are diver•
sions, mostly privately made; there are op­
portunities for greatness, usually missed. ..... ' ' ,., .. , ,, ' ..

' Giving Help ...
There is something about a child in
need--a child who is deprived­
that has urgency and calls for special
effort. When the deprivation shows
itself as part of a sickness indigenous
to a community, it calls for a special
mission of help. The mission itself is
not charity, it is protest. It is not
mastenninded by radicals, but by con­
cerned persons who want to share
their abilities and comforts in a piti­
fully small but meaningful way.
The work is quiet, slow, requires
patience and understanding. There is
no crowds and popcorn sellers and
pink-cheeked, leggy chorus girls for
an audience. It is personal and dy­
namic in a very special way. The
school is represented not by brainless
athletic force but by sympathetic re­
bel! ion against the accepted, the con­
vention of ignorance.
Organized under the superv1s1on and
wing of Dr. Freeda Hartzfeld, the
tutoring program among the slow lear­
ners of Portland's egro school popu­
lation is part of the quiet, hesitant
revolution at the school. Not militant,
these tutors still have some of the
drive and concern that marks a dis­
senter, one who cannot accept the
dreary present.
Work is slow and oftentimes dis­
couraging. The kids do want to learn,
they stay after school, they love their ... to those who need.
new-found friends who take them on
special trips and tell them about

Some of the tutors want to be psychol­
ogists, some teachers, some don't
know. All have concern, deep and
warm concern for persons in trouble.
Boys 15 years old and not able to

their beginning, heaven help them.
The quiet, unheralded, dogged, next­
to-impossible work goes on. o one
really knows what will be accom­
plished. Perhaps not really so much
as the conference basketball trophy or
the highest GPA in the dorm or the
shiniest g.d. Chevvy in the lot. Some­
times only a smile because of a visit
to the green and freshly Springed cam­
pus on the hill is the reward. The Pioneer Log
Student journal ism at Lewis and Clark
has never reached great heights be­
c-ause of the •journalistic' stigma at­
tached lo Pioneer Log offices. The
Log has strived to be the model for
textbook examples, but has never been
the real voice of students. It has been
a weekly bulletin board but has not
been a medium for stirring campus
thought.
Plagued partly by a succession of
editors, the Log did have some high
points: one or two rousing slurs by
Fetty; some clever words by Brian
Mount; some well-researched but often
bloated articles on problems in Asia
by Jim Ash, and probably the best
and thank goodness continuing feature
---pages of student prose and poetry,
handled by Bob Phillips. The Log
also for the first time was in posses­
sion of steady and talented sources
of photographs to combat the proverbi­
al thousand words.
Grid Toland was editor for the first
two terms, and played Kerouac-at­
large spring term. Dave Waterbury
finished out the year.
Usually failing consistently to write
strong campus comment in its editorial
pages, the Log failed to raise eye­
brows, tempers or Administration re­
specl for student leadership.
The Log at times fell into the trap of
being a tool of Palatine Manor, with
stories of glorious Administration ac­
complishments and programs for ex­
pansion. In short, often times the
paper was not consi tently a student
organ.
But then no one attempted a coup d'
etat, so mediocrity continues. J SCORE
Student Committee on Racial
Equality (SCORE), under the
direction of senior Tom Glenn,
and other avid supporters of
action in the ci vi 1 rights move­
ment, opened a chapter at LC.
The group functioned ideally:
for once students at the school
did something on their own
spirit, were caught up in a
national movement with a pur­
pose. Speakers from the Port­
land Negro community were
heard; civil rights volunteers
visited the school. Productive
bull sessions inspired.
Important too, was support from
faculty and departments. In­
quiry was the keynote. Terry Shinn, a wonder, another guy Model Security Council
--With participants coming from far-flung West
Coast colleges and universities, the annual
model United Nations security council was
seated at LC. Facing some of the major pro­
blems confronted at the real working grounds
in New York, the delegates were backed in
their arguments for their respective countries
by months of research.
Annually the event draws support for inter­
national affairs majors, but, as on the real
scale, from few other areas in the community.
The council's precepts presuppose the United
Nations as a lasting body, and most of the
work done is academic argumentation. But
the spirit that formed the parent international
organization twenty years ago is still in evi­
dence, and glosses over many troubles there
might be. This spirit allows for a lasting
body, and insures that the argumentation is
perhaps the best and only route to follow in
disputes.
Students participating m the model council
help keep alive also the college's attempts
to become an international institution, a task
which still will take some doing. --Basketball
Not quite living up to performances of
the past few years, the college basket­
bal I team fell into third place in con­
ference standings and stayed there,
ending the season with an 8-7 record.
Top player on the team seemed to be
its junior center, Al Leake, who
gathered among many superlatives, the
selection as Lillie All-American.
Basketball has long proved to be one
of the biggest drawing cards for LC
sports fans. Mainly because the
teams usually never lose. Dean Sem­
pert and his squad faced some pre­
season injuries which didn't help any,
and were forced to contend with a
tight WC race, fought pretly much
down to the wire by the teams in­
volved.
It used to be that long winter nights
in a hot gymnasium were the perfect
answer to the college student. Now,
there is (it's about time) an increasing
number of academic and social activi­
ties with which the sport and its sup­
porters must contend. Losing is one
of them.
onetheless, basketball will probably
continue to make a name for the col­
lege.

Coach Dean Sempert The small, nearly unheard-of wresllmg learn
under the direcuon of Pat Clock, one of the
college's former stars, gained a host of
district and national honors for Lewis and
Clark athletic record books. Perhaps one of
the most gruelling and precise of the many
sports on campus, wrestling must combine giant stamina \\ith a certain amount of bal­
ance and precision. The sport probably has
the oldest rooll:> of any at LC, and classic,
too, is its folio\\ ing. Most matches go un­
noliced, but for the special few each time
who come to see puffing, grunting giants for
purely personal reasons. I
J Each Thursday night the Trail Room turned
dance noor and echo chamber with distorted,
writhing bodies and twanging, loud popular
sounds. A school group known as 1 arr1ssus
and The Mirrors were the Pied Pipers: they
led the children off on their imitation of what

Un<lcr the guise of new quar­
ters in the senate chamber, the
student senate received new
impetus and status for its
existence. It continuC'd to be
the mill for appropriattons for
ASLC functions and allhough
it no longer spent outlandish
funds for too well-known
record stars, the bod} under
the gavel of President Mike
Kohlhoff main!} talked and pro­
vided liltle encouragement for
improvement of common, ster­
ile situations in student legis­
latures.
Fortunately, the senate was
able to work with a compara­
tively larger budget than past
sessions, but most funds were
swallowed up in similar ap­
propriations hikes.
Sadly, serious debate was
never entertained on the many
campus c r i s es confronting
American colleges and univer­
sities the past year, and per­
haps that fl'lct is telling on the
lack of involvement and com­
municationswith other schools.
Allhough official duties of the
senate are contained mainly
in distributing funds and initi­
ating student projects, the
senate predictably failed as
campus lc>ader. Instead the
student communit} really had
no leader or set of leaders.
Per usual, Joe Apathy was
given credit and blame for lack
of rentral excitement on cam­
pus, but no leadership was in
evidence from which the stu­
dent bod} as a whole could
expect guidance. " ... Joe Apathy was given credit .. '' " ... predictably failed as campus leader.·•
I Judiciary Board On paper, sllldcnls arc laking
command and uc·tmg us their
own leaders. In practice, it
soml•times 1s a bit more comp­
licated, \\ ith lesser courts lo
deal with, and an obscuring set
of legalities which fight both
defendant and court.
.. Peer Group Control," shouts
the administrauon, with happy
innocent eyes toward public re­
lut10ns. "Inquisition," shouts
bark tho~c who ahva}s shout
back. "Peer Group Control," decit.les the board itself, using
capital, verbal lellers.
The argument is vital, for it is
classic. It is concemed with
control. Students are admini­
slring laws, but they are laws•
that they have not themselves
made in every instance .
The Board itself seems diffi­
cult lo take serious at times,
but then, it is a step in a posi
tive direction.
To escape the weather .... Umbrellas at rest during Civ classes .... . ..... anywhere there is room. Great God Brown, a problem of masks I
Eugene O'Neill's play, Great
God Brown, dealt mainly with
masks man wears. Not neces­
sarily falseness, but the
thought of evil lurking in the
background, a quick change of
temperament that easily de­
stroys.
The cast at Fir Acres pulled
off the difficult work qujte
well, working on a multi-level
stage and combining the play­
wright's sound effects with
quick mood changes brought on
by the masks.
Since a great deal of the pla~ 's
1 impact seemed to deal with
makeup, lighting, sound-­
more so than many dramas-­
technical aspects of the pro­
,. duction were stressed.
One of the few 20th Century
American playwrights chosen
in the drama department's wide
range of productions, the
O' eill work added welcome
strength to the Fir A c re s
repertoire. \\'inter athletics also include skiing
and S\\imming, two far-re mo, ed
sports. Both require their own L:>Pe of
slam ma, their own specialized loca­
tion. Barney Becker was ski coach,
Mike Hosokawa was S\\imming coach. Winter Athletics
Neither sport is given the usual
amount of college glamor, and most
wins and losses go unnoticed except
by participants, which sounds ideal. Winter Reading Week
Winler reading week came in a
less speclacular way Lhan Lhc
all-star casl the term before,
bul nonelhele!:.s l he re was
strength to be had in the top­
ics proposed.
Mosl subjects centered on Lhe
book, One Flew O,er the
Cu ck o o' s N e s l, b) Oregon
author Ken Kesc), \\ho fanciei:;
himself a beat set loose in an
as), lum. Some ps) chologists
came lo te 11 us whether it is
we or \lr. Kesey who lives in
a boob)-hatch.
Since there rcalb was no carni­
val atmosphere as with Lhe
highly successful fall reading
week which f ea tu reel man) go­
ings on, winter crowds were
somewhat thinner, but seemed
just as interested in partici­
pating.
Reading weeks are founded on
Lhe correct premise--that all
students at one time or another
should be concerned and be
Lhinking about the same things.
'l'he original aim of commillccs
in charge of the programs was
to call in experts and well­
known authors and philosophers
on given subjects. This is per­
fect. It helps orient students
to a wider grasp of even such
a \'asl topic as existentialism.
The problem reading weeks
will have if the) are allowed to
continue are immense, for if
students expect big names thc>)­
will sh~ awa~ from local per­
sons who perhaps ha, e j usl as
much to say. The problem
compounds itself into the old
tangle of keeping students
satisfied once the) have been
gh en the germ of an idea. Per
haps one reading week a term
is not enough. Perhaps e,en
one meeling a "eek to carr)
through topics for discussion. ..... discussions ..... and classes .

The music department's annual choir
lour Look place in early spring. Its
itinerary Look the choir as far south
as San Diego.
Playing mostly one-night stands, the
choir members li,ed in a bus, lived
with each other, learned the together­
ness required to produce music for
days on end.
Under the direction of L. Stanley
Glarum, the Lewis and Clark choir
has always been one of the college's
prized possessions, representing the
school nationalh for the Presbyterian
church, and regionally and locally on
many occasions. Backbone und workhorse, butt-of-it-all, the
faculty is o powerful cross section of know­
ledge. Meeting probably more oflen outside
of classrooms lhan inside, the faculty is re­
sponsible for planning e\'enls, passmg on

As in aJI large groups, lhere are the good and
the bad, the popular and not, the lazy and
ambitious. They include poets and scientists,
politicians, authors. Primarily, they are ap­
proachable humans. Baseball
The college baseball team compiled an over·
a11 win-loss record of 14-13 and finished
third in Northwest Conference standings,
under the leadership of Coach Fred Wilson.
Baseball, the all-American game, has in
recent years nol apparenth appealed lo all
Americans. Frequently, empty stands are the rule, and although sports l}pes insist domed
stadiums and corporate TV 1s the solution,
nucndance is still low. At the college,
school baseball teams still get free bus rides
to their park, \\hile stranded thealer-goers,

Problems of ethics in inter­
nal ional a ff airs was the oc­
casion for a conference on the
situation 1n Viet l am. Three
south Asians participated: Or.
Ami} a Chakravart} of India;
Dr. Tran Van Chuong of South
Viet Nam, and Sir Les I ie
Munro of New Zealand.
With a topic that would demand
a spate of questions, the four
day conference drew outside
interest as well as student
participation.
The conference was important
because students became a­
ware of the scope of the situa­
tion in Viet am; the con­
ference was important because
two, perhaps three viewpoints
were heard from the guests,
and certainly a wide range of
opinions on the problem were
given seed; the conference
was important because no
spokesman from the United
States was present, telling
something of the quandry into
which the U.S. has mired it­
self.
The conference started no big
student movements, but it was
perhaps a springboard for
organization of an S.O.S.
chapter later in the spring, and
parllc1pation in a national
teach-in on Viet Nam.
In its own way, the conference
through its exchange of ideas
was attempt at producing in­
formation and discussion about
an increasingly shaded and
cloudy subject. Unfortunately,
perhaps, there were no con­
clusions reached, no stand
taken. But that again is some
indication of the difficulty of
arriving al a sol id stand with
onl} opinion and few facts on
which to stand. The

l WUS Week
WUS means World University Service. It has
a fund-raising program that is a popular cam­
pus gimmick that means an entertaining way
of getting money. This year's WUS week had
more gimmicks and more entertainment than
usual but fell short of its goal. Under chair-man Phyllis Jenks, the WUS committee cooked
up another auction, added a turtle race and
competition for favorite professors. WUS is a
cause, a good cause, and it will come around
again next year. Allen Gates, Senior Recital
In the music deparlment, a senior must per­
form before he can be granled his degree. The
concerl Allen Gates performed in the spring
was representative of Lhe many senior reci­
tals at the college--well done, encouraged
b~ the allendance of a re,, friends and de-voted music department supporters.

the team found its place, more

about what college means to me versus what
people say it means. They drew an audience
because students know Lhem and trust their
wit and are impressed by the scope of their
intelligence and truthfulness. Boime said Boime and Ratte
college is a something between a carnival

Lloyd Reynolds is a calligrapher who loves
to teach. He is in love with alphabets, which
sounds a curious problem until one is able to
hear his lecture. He visited Lewis and Clark
with his handwriting exhibit to extol! the
story of fine handwriting. To those who knew of the Reed professor's passion, the visit was
rewarding, Lo the many who were unable to
hear his lecture, view his exhibit, the loss is
one that will be unfelt, and but another gem
within one's grasp that got free. Ill
Otto Sack Day
ln memory of a man few stu•
dents if any knew, the school
was cleaned up. Somehow,
even though Ono Sack is just
a day to most, it is reason
enough.
The college grounds arc worth
keeping clean, alLhough each
year it seems more trash and
weeds build up to an impos­
sible depth, and the campus
grows to a greater expanse,
and fewer show up. But it al­
ways looks cleaner b~ night,
and the food tastes good after
a day's bit of work, and I
never really would ha\e
studied an}wa} so why not
clean up the place.
Usually there is competition,
and each group says its area
is cleaner, but that's just a
ruse to keep a work force go­
ing. The end product is what
we're after. April showers bring May Fetes .... .. ... and May showers.

Gallows Humor
The final offering of Lhe regular
school year by the drama department,
"Gallows Humor," dealt with con­
demned men and their final hours.
The work offered some insights into
death row inmates, and dealt with
ambiguities of persons facing a cer­
tain, regulated end to their life.
The dilemmas centering on men and
their intimates, and their relation lo a
death they know will arrive on sched­
ule, provided a perf eel situation for a
farre Art Festivals
Springtime means shakmgout dust and polish­
ing Lhe place. Lewis and Clark did it by
staging one or Lwo or three presentations of
the finer things---art, musie, the donce.
One of these offerings was by the women of
Lake Oswego, who used the college's facili­
tie:,, for their annual fine arts festival, com­
plete with ballet, paintings on the college center's walls and concerts al Evans.
Another art:s presentation dunn~ spring was a
concert on the terrace at Palatine Manor. The
sun shone to help drc1\l. an audience, and,
combined with orchestrations, persons who
might not ha\e enlered a concerl hall on cam­
pus dropped b) at noontime to hear the music.
A good beginning. Another person ,,ho told sludenls he could

The placemenl office has become
standard fixture at a college. It finds
you a place lo go to spend the resl of
your life after ~ our four-yenr interim
al school.
Colleges hme become mills to fct•d
big biz, they say. Al I the bosses need
do Lo find their junior executl\.CS 1s lo
go lo college placement sen ice.
The} also sa~ Lhat's what a lot of the
noise down at Berkeley was about. ll
is a frightening feeling to know four
years of college are for some hod~' s
company to benefit from, and th a L
man} of the ideas professors tr~ Lo im­
plant in one's skull will never be
called for again.
Lewis and Clark in most ways is not
such a tool of research grants from
corporalions, or training grounds for
salesmen. But those al the school who
do not become teachers or coaches or
go on Lo graduate school make use of
the placement office. Its fac1liL1e::.
offer a ,,1de ,ariel:t of posiLions, but
somehow 1L is all Loo cruel. 1l dashes
down the idealism of four years'
sLUdy---study which is fraught w i Lh
ideas, not bread and butter.
It's good for finding a summer Job,
too. Commencement
There were 257 persons listed to be conferred degrees in
Griswold Stadium June 13. Among them were 22 given de­
grees with honors, a high percentage for the school. Honor­
ary degrees were presented to Howard F. Lowry, Robert V.
Hansberger and William G. Beattie. Looking backward, a
frightful preoccupation, the long road seemed shorter. i
