On Indigenous People’s Day, campus vandalized in protest of colonialism • By Amelia Doyle & Leo Bernstein Newman

On Tuesday evening, several buildings on the Lewis & Clark undergraduate and graduate campuses were vandalized. The tags came in response to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is a holiday that occurs on Oct. 10 and is recognized by the state of Oregon.

LC students and staff awoke the following morning to find various buildings tagged with large messages written in graffiti. This is not the first time campus buildings have been tagged with similar messaging and iconography on Indigenous People’s Day, previously known in Oregon as Columbus Day. Previous instances have occurred on Jan. 25, 2021 and Oct. 11, 2021.

Now in captivity, The Log has put Leo to use as the editor of the Features section.

Lewis & Clark released new update photos of construction underway on Templeton Campus Center. To accommodate construction, power in the building will be unavailable on Aug. 6. According to LC's websites and estimates by Bremick Construction, the Trail Room is on track to open for the beginning of the fall semester. The Trail Room will offer extended hours for morning coffee, dinner and late night until 10 p.m. In order to accommodate these changes, Maggie's will be closed and reutilized according to an email sent to the community on July 22. Templeton Way is also currently blocked off to all car traffic, but paving is estimated to be partially complete in time for New Student Orientation and move-in.

“Though it is located in a strip mall just 10 minutes from campus, Zha Nan Taiwan Bistro feels a world away from Lewis & Clark. Soft Taiwanese pop plays over the speakers inside and brightly lit bottles of soda, sake and imported beer sit in neat rows on long, wooden shelves. The atmosphere is relaxed and choosing what to order from the lengthy menu is both the most exciting and difficult part of the experience.”

"As the COVID-19 crisis continues to impact the Lewis & Clark community, Nadeen Ezzeddine ’22, a student at the Graduate School of Education and Counseling, wrote a letter asking administrators to reconsider financial burdens on students. The letter, signed by over 150 students and alumni, was sent to President Wim Wiewel and the deans of the three campuses on April 13.⁣
⁣
The letter’s signatories urge LC to reconsider the campus-wide tuition increases for the 2020-21 academic term, which trustees approved in Nov. 2019. Additionally, the letter asks administrators to discount tuition for all future terms that use remote learning, which include summer classes.⁣"

"After the college announced it would move all classes online to help slow the spread of COVID-19, students living on-campus were urged to go home if possible. About 150 students are still living in the apartments or Holmes Hall. According to Associate Director of the Office of International Students and Scholars (ISS) Bridget Flaherty, about a third of them are international students and U.S. third-culture kids (TCKs). ⁣
⁣
'(Director of ISS Brian White) and I did what we could to help some students return to their home countries, as well as work with the Overseas and Off-Campus Programs staff to get some of our students back to the U.S. from their programs when they couldn’t go home,' Flaherty said via email. 'Our current focus is figuring out who can go home when the semester ends, and who may still need support here over the summer.'"⁣

"Stories have trended across the internet on sites like Twitter and TikTok, showing students coordinating whole classes to prank a professor, changing zoom backgrounds to photos from 'The Office' and accidentally singing songs to their whole class when they thought they were on mute.

At Lewis & Clark, students are finding ways to entertain themselves during Zoom classes. In some cases, students have forgotten to turn off their cameras or microphones. Genevieve Basile ’23 was one of these students.

'I had started my five step Indian head/scalp massage when I thought my camera was off,” Basile said. “I don’t really mind that they saw. I just thought it was funny and then turned off the camera.'"

"I cared more about Bernie’s 2020 campaign than any political campaign in my lifetime. For months last semester, I canvassed for him in Oregon, and this January, I spent a month knocking on doors in freezing weather for him in Iowa. I spent the next month volunteering for him in Nevada, California and Washington. My sleeping situation alternated between crowded hotel rooms, air mattresses and, at one point, a small cubby on a sailboat. Along the way, I met organizers that will be lifelong friends and voters whose stories will stick with me forever.

I am not disappointed that Bernie, specifically, did not get to be president. I am disappointed because everyone in this country deserves healthcare, a stable wage and a planet that will continue to sustain life. And I am disappointed, because I believe it is by fighting for these rights, not by compromising on them, that we can defeat the right-wing politics that have slowly taken over this country for decades."

Let us be honest with ourselves. While we may want to use this time to do some spring cleaning or dust off a skill that has been in disuse for years, we probably will not. The extra time we have in Portland, home and elsewhere will mostly be filled with us laying on our beds, laptops open, in search of some mindless entertainment to keep our hearts lighter in this dark time. Here are some suggestions for your viewing pleasure.⁣

As I look into the remainder of my senior year, I feel a sense of overwhelming loss. This year, there will be no graduation; there will be no last day of classes, no senior social and no sense of celebration. Lewis & Clark is a vibrant community filled with caring and kind people, and I am incredibly sad that for my last few months here, I will remain at a distance. Despite that, however, I am incredibly grateful to be at a school like this one during a crisis.
