Introducing, The Mossy Log.

Last academic year we had many discussions about our name and the legacy of the word "pioneer." Our previous editor-in-chief Ihsaan Mohamed led many of these conversations. After much community input from our survey, our editorial meetings and an Affinity Leader Luncheon we hosted, the decision was clear.

"Pioneer" had to go as it upholds the colonial legacy that led to the genocide of indigenous groups that continues today. Instead, The Mossy Log honors the nature and unique greenness of the Pacific North West.

With this name change, we do not intend to move past the harms our news organization has done, but instead continually commit to doing better moving forward.

-Venus Edlin, editor-in-chief

Meet another one of our opinion editors.

Isabel entered the world of journalism through Portland State Vanguard, where she reported on student government, the Portland Black Lives Matter protests and international news as a contributor and editor. After transferring to Lewis & Clark, she joined The Log as a News editor. Now in Opinion, Isabel aims to provide a platform for students to hone their argumentative skills and write thought-provoking pieces that respect others’ perspectives and experiences.

Isabel is a French major who plans to pursue a master’s in linguistics and possibly run away to Paris. Do not ask how she got into French — it is a long story for the longue durée. In her free time she enjoys hanging out with friends, long-distance running, biking and exploring Portland.

At approximately 8:15 p.m. last night, emergency services were dispatched to Lewis & Clark after the collapse of a brick tower. The incident came after six students used the column to support three hammocks around the historic grape arbor. One student died before emergency services could arrive and two others were injured.

At 12:35 a.m. administrators sent out an LC Bulletin about the events and offered resources for community members. Counseling is available for individuals who need support. Today, the campus has been mourning the loss of a student, one that came on the first day of class. More details to come.

Happy first day of classes, and welcome class of 2

Happy first day of classes, and welcome class of 2026! Are you curious about how to get involved with LC's newspaper The Log?

There are several ways. We will be tabling at Pio Fair on Sep. 2 from 3-5 p.m. and will be available to answer questions, give out goodies and sign people up as contributors. Additionally, we will continue holding our weekly staff meetings starting Sep. 5. Contact us or anyone on the editorial board to be added to our email list.

Good luck with the upcoming semester!

Meet another one of our news editors!

After a year of writing for The Log, Rosalie, a sophomore from El Cerrito, Calif., is delighted to continue her journalism journey as an editor. She is an English and Theatre major who enjoys writing, poetry, dance, acting and art. Rosalie is a dedicated speech and debate competitor, embarking on her sixth year competing and her second on the LC Speech Team. She is also a member of the LC Improv Troupe, and is involved with Fir Acres Theatre productions. Rosalie also enjoys a variety of grandmotherly activities such as crochet, baking, sewing, puzzling and playing board games. However, she also tries finding time to hike, bike and backpack.

Please welcome Leo Bernstein-Newman to the editorial board! We are unsure if he is a squirrel or human.

Leo, a rising senior, is a small woodland creature at Lewis & Clark. Though his species has yet to be identified, several Environmental Studies majors have been able to catch him using peanut butter and a humane mouse trap. Now in captivity, The Log has put Leo to use as the editor of the Features section. If you see him around campus do not hesitate to offer him a palmful of small berries and nuts to make him feel welcome.
