Linfield trains for LGBT awareness Rosa Johnson Copy editor Linfield College is not ranked in Oregon’s top-10 Friendly Campus Climate Index for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community. Campus Climate is an environment where you can be yourself without judgment; it is Linfield’s ultimate goal to achieve a ranking within FCCI.
ASLC to vote on two new club charters
Senior Elizabeth Guzman Arroyo is the student coordinator of the Wildcat Intercultural Network, and she established ways that staff and students could spread awareness for the LGBT community through Safe Space Training on Oct. 14. “We need to shift the Campus Climate to a welcoming environment,” Arroyo said. Safe Space Training began in spring of 2013. The Director of
Multicultural Programs, Jason Rodriquez, joined Arroyo in making the program along with junior Ariana Lipkind, the co-president of FUSION. “[Safe Space Training] spoke to me and I wanted to know more about it and it inspired me,” Rodriquez said. “Dammit, I want this and we need it in this school.” Definitive issues the LGBT communities occur daily were covered in Safe Space training.
Arroyo defined a variety of phobias directed towards those of bisexual orientation, of those with blurred gender roles and those who are attracted to the same sex. Tokenizing, or the assumption of making a member represent a group through stereo typing them to the LGBT community was discussed along with >> Please see Safe space page 6

The Associate Students of Linfield College will vote at 7 p.m. on Oct. 22 on club charters for a Spanish club and a Celiac Disease Educational club. The “Celiac Disease Foundation U Linfield College” was formed this year, however, Spanish club has existed for some time. This year it was realized that only Spanish Club did not have formal recognition by the ALSC. “[Spanish club] existed and people were meeting, but we realized that they weren’t formally chartered. They were a group of students functioning as a club, they just didn’t have recognition by ASLC and access to [ASLC] funding,” senior Annika Yates club director for ASLC said. Spanish club was granted a temporary charter by ASLC, the permanent charter was overlooked after the initial six-week trial period and never transferred. “Once [a club is] chartered you get a temporary charter for six weeks. Your six weeks are basically [ASLC] giving you all the same funding and opportunities as regular clubs have. Just to kind of show that you have interest, you have a couple meetings, maybe an event to show that you have support and that it’s going to be a club that’s sustainable for the long-term,” Yates said. “Toward the end of the six weeks we take a look at the progress and the Senate votes on if they want to give a permanent charter,” Yates said. If students have ideas for clubs, they can fill out charter packets found on the ASLC forms and resources page on the Linfield >> Please see ASLC page 5

Linfield supports students’ differences Is Linfield an accepting campus? This is a question that many students ask themselves daily. Recently, Thomas Durein, former Greek advisor at the University of California, Berkeley, discussed being gay in Greek Life and made students think even more about acceptance and attitudes at Linfield. This event was sponsored by the gay-straight alliance group, FUSION, who hosted the event at Linfield as part of national coming out day, a day celebrating the choice of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender to share their sexual orientation. Just the fact that this
event occurred on Linfield campus proves that Linfield is growing as a whole and beginning to truly accept and celebrate diversity. It is nice to see that Linfield is continuing to expand and enhance open discussions about sexual orientation. Part of this improvement is a direct result of FUSION. FUSION’s mission is to maintain an atmosphere in which all participants feel safe to express opinions regardless of sexual orientation. FUSION has been successful as a organization because it aims to educate and help everyone on the Linfield campus.
According to the FUSION organization website, “FUSION is open to all those interested and willing to return the respect with which they will be treated, regardless of sexual orientation.” Because the club is open to anyone and everyone, despite sexual orientation, it has really helped educate and promote awareness to the general Linfield community. Since education and awareness is the first step to understanding and acceptance, it is crucial that an organization on campus is working so hard to inform everyone. It is important that students here at Linfield feel
supported not only by administration and faculty, but also by their peers. We hope that through education and discussion students on campus feel safe and welcome. We hope that through open discourse students feel comfortable sharing their stories, whatever it might be. Thanks to events like the one Durein spoke at, students are getting educated about current social issues and applying what they are learning to their everyday life, while at the same time improving Linfield as a whole. -The Review Editorial Board

NEWS
Newspapers sacrifice quality to be first Journalist Walter Lippmann remarked almost a century ago that democracy will fail “if there is no steady supply of trustworthy and relevant news.” However, today’s news reporting is increasingly sacrificing accuracy for speed. The majority of large newspapers and other sources of news have Facebook and Twitter accounts, breaking news texts, and numerous additional channels that have added a building sense of urgency to journalism. The New York Times’ main Twitter feed has more than 280,000 followers, the Wall Street Journal has more than 19,000, and the Chicago Tribune has more than 5,200. As the mass news media go digital, they are progressive-
Helen Lee Photo editor ly becoming more instantaneous and concerned with scooping every other news outlet. With the power of instant retractions and updates, as opposed to the expensive print medium, many online news sources no longer feel a responsibility to getting all the facts correct before posting. News sources such as
Cable News Network and Fox News are now less concerned with the accuracy of their updates and more concerned with beating out the competition. Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, highlighted some of the problems with today’s urgent 24-hour news stations by bashing on CNN’s misinformed and bumbling reporting on the recent Washington Navy Yard mass shooting. Stewart said during his television program that “for every all too familiar American tragedy, you can be sure the news will exacerbate it with yet another Force Five Wrongnado.” Keeping up with the times and going digital is fine, but not if the cost is accurate jour-
nalism. Inaccurate news can travel fast on social media. A prime example of this is the premature reports of U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young’s death on Oct. 17. The Tampa Bay Times reports that a St. Petersburg blogger and political consultant, Peter Schorsch, posted about Young’s death on Twitter at 1:34 p.m. on Oct. 17. Minutes later, NBC’s Luke Russert tweeted the same news. News outlets were scrambling to break this news to their readers. Even members of Congress sent out preliminary tweets of condolence: Rep. Bill Long from Florida posted “Very saddened to learn of the passing of Rep. Bill Young of Florida—the perfect Gen-
tleman—our thoughts and prayers go out to his family,” which was deleted later. However, 30 minutes after Schorsch’s post, Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam C. Smith confirmed that Young was alive. It wasn’t until Friday evening that Young actually died. Although this error was neither the first nor the last mistake to hinder the credibility of reporters, it was certainly a noteworthy one. As a reporter, I understand the breaking newstype urgency that newspapers face. Despite this, it is my belief that quality and accuracy should never be sacrificed for the sake of being first.

MUSIC
Modern musicians lack authentic emotion The meaning of music has deteriorated by music companies and has left a shallow imprint on society. Within the hour, the same song is heard on multiple occurrences. Usually it is about getting wasted, laid or does not even have a point at all; catchy choruses are the only goal. Music has been a part of human culture since we have developed the sense of sound. Evolution is supposed to have mankind adapt to become better, but as time goes on our lyrics have lost their true position in expression. Inappropriate and awful sounds are being publicly
Rosa Johnson Copy editor played to the ears of the people and less bad words are filtered each year. The output quality is low and artists no longer have any natural talent besides their appearance. Their actual voices are disguised by digitalized auto-tuning which hides the possible talent that
they could actually obtain. Without the ideal look, performers would not be able to survive the cruel world of critics and paparazzi. The music industry focuses on what can make them the most money, not about the songs that you can cry to after a major break up with your significant other, but whatever fills their wallets. Revolutionary artists never focus on what would get them to the top of the charts, they perform for their passion of entertainment and music. Bands that had their own unique sound would change their tunes just to appeal to the mainstream sound every
record label wants. With everyone trying to be the same, individuality is hard to come across each musician tries to be weird to get attention, but they are all merely reflecting one another. Since musicians are all producing similar songs as one another, they become predictable to other artists which makes them appear flat. Ballads about love or depression become deformed and morph into songs with similar topics of partying. There is always an underlying worry that a favorite band will be corrupted after being played on the radio.
Without the public in mind, the only ones to enjoy these repetitive beats are the record companies and radio stations. Reoccurring artist are on each frequency. People used to rely on radios for genuine entertainment and facts but today it is just a hoax. Talent can be found as easily as it can be ruined. Many bands and other artists feel the need to change themselves so they can fit the ideal mold that feels necessary in order to become famous. Copycats and unoriginal ideas are being tossed back and forth. Media companies make it seem that a musical artist
has to be weird in order to be known. Now that being an oddball is cool, everyone is doing dressing strangely or acting bizarre which is deceiving to their actual character. Everyone is wearing excessive makeup and revealing clothing to get attention from the media. It is not art anymore to the audience. Anyone can post a video on Youtube and become famous for what they love to do but only a few that our society accepts will make it to the top.

EDUCATION
Double majoring can be lead to major problems
Gilberto Galvez Features editor Linfield provides a plethora of chances for students to experience in-class learning, other than those belonging to their designated majors. The Linfield Curriculum forcefully gives students the chance to find new areas of interest. This could lead to a debate over what major one should complete. Making a decision is difficult for some students especially when one decides to double major. There are good and bad reasons to double major along with alternatives to double majoring. Before a student decides to double major, they should debate their options. They must decide how much of a workload they are comfortable with and how their two majors could overlap. Overlapping majors of two scholarly fields that interest you makes it easier to double major. Common double majors are Math and Economics or International Relations and a language. These majors have connections that make it easier to major in them at the same time. A bad reason would be not being able to pick just one major. If a student tries to double major in two completely different fields just because they aren’t able to stick to one, they will soon find
themselves swamped and unable to complete it all. Some students may be comfortable with an extreme workload, but others might think they would be able to handle when they really can’t. In the end, a major usually doesn’t affect the jobs that are available to you as a graduate. If employers are pleased, they could easily major in one field then enter graduate school with the idea of studying a completely different discipline. Students who do this bring a different perspective than those students who major in one discipline then attend graduate school with the same discipline in mind. This broadens the horizons of anyone involved. Another alternative to double majoring is double minoring. Double minoring is less of a workload than double majoring, but a student still receives an education in the disciplines they wish. A student could major in the field they enjoy the most and minor in the field they were considering double majoring in along with another minor. Students who double major either have overlaps that will cut the work they do to half or have decided that they can handle the extreme workload double majoring provides. Students may feel as if it has a beneficial impact on their work life after college or that they need it in graduate school, but no matter the major more degrees can be useful in the hands of the right person.

CAMPUS LIFE
Relax by spending a weekend at home
This past weekend the streets on Linfield campus were bare. Parking was no longer a hassle and the campus seemed as quiet as a mouse. Some see this as a good thing and some see this as problematic because it has the potential to effect weekend social activities. No matter how you feel about the occasional weekend flight home by the masses, it is important to realize how physically and emotionally healthy it is to take a break. Many people left campus after the past few weeks of midterms because leaving campus can be a huge stress reliever. Seeing your parents can make anyone feel better, sim-
Alyssa Townsend Opinion editor ply because you know they support you 100 percent. Also, parents do a great job at putting things in perspective. Additionally, getting off campus is a good chance to take a break from other stress factors at Linfield. Because of all the stress of midterms, many people begin to get irritable and tensions run high.
Living in such close quarters while being on edge is a bad equation for friendships, so going home can help clear your mind and remind you that you shouldn’t be a hermit when on campus. A weekend at home also will also help your body. As well as know very well, college students aren’t the best at getting eight hours of sleep a night. According to the University of Georgia Health Center’s research, “On average, most college students get 6 - 6.9 hours of sleep per night, and the college years are notoriously sleep-deprived due to an overload of activities. Recent research on college students and sleep indicates that insufficient sleep impacts our health, our moods, our
GPA and our safety.” Even though getting enough sleep during the week is often just unachievable, going home is a great chance to get some extra sleep and become rejuvenated for the week to come. Also, just think about all the great home cooked food you’ll get by visiting home for a weekend. That is almost worth the trip alone. Even if you live out of state, you should still find some time to get off campus and relax. Visit a family member who lives close by or go home with a friend. Test after test can take a toll on your psyche, so try relaxing weekend at home. It can do wonders.

Electoral vote is more than just preference Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor
The act of voting can be a confusing process, but understanding how people vote has been defined and shared by a guest lecturer. Zlatan Krizan, associate professor of psychology at Iowa State University, discussed the reality of voting predictability in his talked titled, “Wishful Thinking in Political Elections,” on Oct. 18. Many can honestly say that they vote the way their fam-
ily and friends vote. According to Krizen, as humans, we surround ourselves with likeminded people. “Voting, today, is ultimately social behavior,” Krizan said. “It’s not some sort of isolated incident, it requires people. Voting and who you vote is driven by learned behaviors and social beliefs.” Another behavior Krizen noticed about voters was the fact that they “are never dispassionate about the future.” “We always have ideas of what will make a better or
worse future,” Krizen said. “So when we predict things, we have an idea of where we want the future to go.” Hitting on the titled subject of “wishful thinking,” Krizen touches on how correlation does not always equal causation in voting. “While it is an absolute fact that there is a link between preference and expectation, preferences are not indicative of expectation,” Krizen said. Krizen worked with the 2010 California marijuana legalization initiative, which
initially failed, to measure the correlation between expectation and level of knowledge. While polling before the November vote, the number of supporters expecting the law to pass was higher than those against the law. However, as time closed in on the deadline, those against the legalization of marijuana maintained their expectation of the measure failing, while those who supported the measure started to lower their expectation for the measure passing.
“If you want to find an agreement between those in favor and those who are opposed, basically those who are in favor and have higher knowledge eventually become pretty neutral. And those who are against and have lower knowledge ended up in the same place,” Krizen said. Krizen also determined the most change in support happens during the month of October, prior to the voting deadline. It is during this time, when
polls see a switch from high support to having doubt towards their stance. “What we see over and over again is that for expectations, we think things are going to go our way, even when they really won’t,” Krizen said. Krizen’s work has proven that campaigns really do matter. While they don’t necessarily change the minds of voters, it increases expectations.

Colleges look into sex assault policies lic to satisfy the Clery Act requirement. In 2011 Linfield reported nine cases of sexual assault that occurred on campus and one case in 2012. Data from the previous three years is included in the report as part of the Clery Act requirement. “To clarify, there were two forcible sex offences in 2012,” Rebecca Wale said, director of college public safety and environmental health and safety. “One occurred in student housing and one occurred at a non-campus location.” All Linfield freshmen are required to participate in a sexual assault training session run by the Consent Awareness Training Squad. “I learned 100 percent more about sexual assault than I knew on the first day of class through CATS, so I would say that it is very useful for freshman to take,” sophomore Adam Bullard said. “I would say it is pretty strong and effective and as long as we have students taking it seriously. It is only as strong as its representatives make it.”
Olivia Marovich News editor The recent release of the federally mandated Clery Act report has brought up controversy about the way sexual assault is handled and reported on college campuses. Both the University of Southern California and Occidental College have admitted to under reporting the number of sexual assault cases that occurred for the 2012 academic year. If investigated by the Department of Education, these schools could face fines of over $450,000. Investigations into these two colleges were slowed by the government shutdown, but they started a trend among other schools to review their policies on sexual assault. All colleges and universities that participate in the federal financial aid program are required to comply with the Clery Act, a part of the Title IX antidiscrimination law. Linfield recently made its Annual Security and Fire Safety Report available to the pub-
In the CATS training students are urged to file either an anonymous or formal misconduct report form if they feel they have been the victim of a sex offense.

“CATS has given me the knowledge and skills to help advocate for people in some of the most difficult times in their lives,” sophomore Justin Frederick a CATS leader said “I want to change the culture here at Linfield. Many people think this topic is humorous or not a big deal because it has never happened to
Sexual assaults on college campuses have a tendency to go unreported. Many researchers attribute this to the culture of victim-blaming, when the victim of a crime is held partially or entirely responsible for the offense against them. “I believe that more can always be done to prevent
sexual assault, that our community can take more steps to interrupt the cycle of violence but these steps need to come from the ground up,” Adria GodonBynum said, the coordinator of student health and wellness programming at Linfield. “Overwhelmingly sexual assaults involve people that know each other and the concept of stranger danger is outdated and inaccurate.” Linfield uses The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting, prepared for the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education to define sexual assault. The handbook defines forcible sex offenses as “any sexual act directed against another person, forcibly and/or against that person’s will; or not forcibly or against the person’s will where the victim is incapable of giving consent.” “Unfortunately sexual assault remains the most under reported crime in the United States,” GodonBynum said. “Our community is not unique in this manner.

They do not have a category for sexual assault, but had 12 accounts of rape and 69 accounts of other sex offenses during 2012 for the entire McMinnville area. Although many accounts of sexual assault and violence go unreported Godon-Bynum believes that this trend can be stopped if people change their attitude toward sexual assault. “I think it is vital for all students to know that sexual assault is not solely a woman’s issue,” GodonBynum said. “Prevention efforts must include men and boys.

Human ecology discussed by furloughed adviser Ryan Morgan Senior reporter
Science adviser to the director of the National Park Service used controversial examples aimed at an inciting audience engagement to illustrate the complexity of human ecology. In a talk titled, “The Ecology of Hope and Devastation,” Gary Machlis , science advisor to the director of the National Park Service and professor of conservation at the University of Idaho, used cocaine production in Colombia as a relatable example to articulate
the far-reaching effects of human actions on a global, and environmental scale on Oct. 14. Machlis presented a PowerPoint slide with the recipe for the manufacture of cocaine. After letting audience’s excitement climax over the slide, Machlis added the caveat that it was “for illustrative, teaching purposes only.” The chemicals used in production of cocaine are seeping into the water supplies far upriver in Colombia, Machlis said. The more demand there
is for cocaine, the more cocaine is made. Machlis connected these two ideas to argue that the water quality of Colombia could be directly tied to a person’s cocaine habit anywhere in the world. “Human ecology has to look at the dark side of things and how something in this part of the world has a strong effect on something far away,” Machlis said. Machlis drew on his experience working with panda’s in China to teach the audience about how human interaction with nature can disrupt delicate
ecosystems. “You also have to understand territory,” Machlis said when referring to the studying of human ecology. To illustrate this point, Machlis presented a slide of the map of gangs of Los Angeles. “You don’t have to be an ecologist to figure out the areas where it’s not safe to be,” Machlis said while explaining the overlapping territories of rival gangs. The dangerous overlapping-territories affect the habits of people in that environment based upon the perceived areas of safety.
“The struggle for turf is an ecological matter whether it’s wolves in Yellowstone [National Park] or people in Los Angeles,” Machlis said. As social scientists have come to accept the driving force of human exploitation of resources upon change of ecosystems, there has been an effort to understand those resources beyond face value. “This looks like water behind a dam,” Machlis said, gesturing to another slide, “but, that dam is not just damming up water, it’s concentrating economic wealth, political power.
There’s all of these other things that are happening besides just the water. “The challenge is to apply that kind of thinking to the real world problems of the day, to apply them in ways that can actually make a difference,” Machlis said. Continuing with the trend of countering real world problems, Machlis left the audience with one example of how individuals could make a difference: developing a solar-powered refugee tent, like the one designed by IKEA earlier this year.

Safe space: Promoting LGBT community issue information << Continued from page 1 micro-aggressions, intentional or unintentional verbal or behavioral insults that make a member of the LGBT community feel unwelcome. Each of these terms were defined in the meeting along with other acceptable and unacceptable terms. Arroyo said that due to the stress of society, gay people are more prone to alcoholism, drug abuse and developing mental illnesses such as depression. These issues were focused on the Linfield campus itself when heterosexual privilege was discussed. Also known as heteronormativity, it is when members of the LGBT community are oppressed and do not get the same rights as heterosexuals. Linfield does not have any gender-neutral bathrooms or housing, these disadvantages affect Linfield’s ranking for FCCI. Among those in the crowd was Dawn Graff-Haight, professor of health education who teaches the Human Sexuality course at Linfield. “I think [Safe Space training] is awesome, it would be great for orientation to raise awareness,” Graff-Haight said. Graff-Haight fought for three years for the creation and active practicing

CATS spreads the awareness of alcohol and consent with students, there is talk of wanting to add Safe Space training to the CATS program in order to spread awareness for the LGBT community. Graff-Haight supports having every student and staff member to take Safe Space training to raise LGBT awareness. “I’m really pleased to discover how accepting and open campus was went I came to Linfield 17 years ago, but the alliance for everyone could always be better, people still don’t get it and we need more awareness,” Graff-Haight said. Arroyo brought up the “Start, Stop and Continue” exercise, which is the act of starting positive habits that will help the LGBT community, stop prejudice and oppression while continuing a good support system that the LBGT community needs. “Instead of people being bystanders, they should be upstanders,” Graff-Haight said while promoting healthy habits and ceasing discriminatory behaviors for the LGBT community. “We’re all people and every human being should have a right to be who they are,” Graff-Haight said.

Study nooks hide all over campus Gilberto Galvez/Features editor
Midterm week finds most students frantically studying everywhere, and an easy place for students to study is the Nicholson Library. But what happens when someone else takes your favorite library study space? The library, Starbucks and the Fred Meyer Lounge aren’t the only places outside of your dorm room you can study in. Hidden around campus are all sorts of nooks where you can get your thinking caps on. Each academic building has their own, or even multiple, spots. You could just as easily study outside, as long as it isn’t raining. Sophomores Kiera Thurman and Kiera Downs study outside when the weather is nice. “It was nice because we’re more with the trees and the grass and stuff,” Downs said. Senior Melissa Green studies in the lounge of the Vivian A. Bull Music Center while completing her work study there. “It’s really quiet,” Green said. “There’s usually hardly anyone here. Sometimes, I’ll hear someone practicing piano in the background.” Green also studies in the lounge of the second floor of Walker. “I’m an anthropology major, so it’s my territory,” Green said. Students can study almost anywhere, just make sure that you have easy access to the building whenever you may need it. You might end up having to study in the library some days, especially on the weekends when the academic buildings are closed to general student access.

As soon as the Old Oak fell, Tim Stewart, Linfield’s environmental services superintendent, organized a team to collect every bit of the beloved tree. “We saved every last scrap including sawdust,” Allison Horn, Linfield’s director of facilities and auxiliary services, said. “I saved everything,” Stewart said. “People thought I was nuts. I had cleaning services out there with brooms and dust pans.” Pieces of the Old Oak were milled on site in order to be prepared for future building projects. “We had a mobile sawmill come in and start cutting it up into planks,” Stewart said. “We didn’t know

Choir soloists present Liederabend for students Mariah Gonzales Culture editor
Members from the Linfield Concert Choir sang solos of songs that related to love and intimacy at Liederabend: An Evening of Art Song on Wednesday, Oct. 16. “Lieder began around the break of the 19th century when music became intimate,” Anton Belov, an assistant professor of the music department said. “[And] Lieder simply means song.” The event was prepared by Belov and Natalie Gunn, professor in the music department.
Liederabend is German for a recital, but is also signifies an evening of song. It is a traditional that stems from the 19th century in Vienna, Austria. A liederabend takes place in an intimate atmosphere like a living room or grandeur of a concert hall. The songs performed were all in different languages including German, French, Spanish and Italian. “Since art song as a genre is primarily focused on entertaining the middle classes, composers wrote about themes that would be more universal, such as love and the loss of it,” junior and soprano in the
choir Delaney Bullinger said. Each soloist was accompanied on the piano by Susan McDaniel, who is new faculty member the music department. Before each song the soloist would recite a quote in English related to the subject of the song. From these songs the audience could get a sense of each song’s meaning and significance. “The world is going into slumber, but the pain in my heart never sleeps,” senior Gulfem Tornular said, a mezzo-sporano in the Concert Choir who sang “Gestillte Sehnsucht” by

McDaniel accompanied Tornular on the piano and senior Tabitha Gholi on the violin. There was also a humorous quote recited by Bullinger before she sang the song “Quel Galant M’est Comparable” by Maurice Ravel, who was a French composer in the late 19th and early 18th centuries. “Look at me. I’m the most handsome man in this town. I can have any of these women I want, but I choose you,” Bullinger
said, making the audience laugh. The choir students began practicing their songs since the beginning of the semester. Each student met with Belov and Gunn once a week at individual times. Junior and baritone in the choir Ryan Thompson said that the choir hopes to make Liederabend an official event that occurs once a semester. Thompson performed “Das Wandern” by Franz Schubert, an Austrian
music composer. “I really enjoy how playful the melody and lyrics are [in “Das Wandern”], as I essentially get to be a farm boy enjoying the simple pleasures of hiking around the German countryside,” Thompson said. “I can definitely relate to the song as I am a pretty happy-go-lucky guy myself that enjoys taking in the beautiful landscape of the Willamette Valley every now and then.” Mariah Gonzales can be reached at linfieldreviewculture@gmail.com

Linfield will soon be opening its latest exhibit, “Of Earth, Of Fire,” a pre-Columbian ceramic exhibit from Elvin A. Duerst, an agricultural scientist, who donated his work to Linfield College in 2007. “The collection was donated after Duerst passed away by his family, and what is on display is about [two-thirds] of it,” Keni Sturgeon, adjunct professor of anthropology and sociology said. “We created the exhibit that is on display using and focusing on his collection of objects.” The exhibit will feature indigenous visual art of the Caribbean, North, South and Central America from the 16th Century. The ceramics from this era have helped anthropologists read the culture of such native cultures, including philosophies, aesthetics, religions, world views and cosmologies.

‘The Stud book’ uses metaphors to represent reproduction Special Lovincey Columnist A studbook refers to a breeding registry for captive animals. In “The Stud Book,” author Monica Drake uses metaphors to represent the endless human reproduction and parenting on a small and crowded planet. In the ensemble piece, the novel ties the lives’ of multiple characters dealing with modern parenting and family life issues of the Pacific Northwest into one another. “I enjoyed lacing individual stories together, seeing how they play against one another. As a story in part about population, it seemed necessary that the book be populated,” Drake wrote in an email. “My goal, and my interest, was to see how people live side by side, sometimes annoying one another but always with love,” Drake said. About 20 years ago, Drake was an intern studying animal behavior at the Oregon Zoo in Portland. She spent a majority of her time observing three infant elephants as they grew up. “Sometimes I felt like a very hands-off babysitter, just watching those
big, darling babies play and writing down their actions,” Drake wrote. Her motivation for “The Stud Book” didn’t come until later down the line, when returning back to the zoo with her own child. “On any sunny day, the zoo is crowded with children, running wild, and most of the animals in the cages are endangered. If you read the signs in front of the enclosures, you start to notice that one of the main reasons animal populations are dwindling is human encroachment,” Drake said. Drake recalls her experience returning to the zoo, by then the infant elephants were grown up and one of the elephant even had his own offspring. “Usually, even as you try to read those words there will be a child climbing on the sign, or slapping the enclosure, kids everywhere,” Drake said. “It’s an incredibly mixed emotion, I think, to love human babies and children so very much and take them to a zoo, where this onslaught of babies-human population at large, really--is highlighted as a serious environmental concern,” Drake said. In her novel, the motivation of zoo animals and the
correlation it ties to humans drives the story. “I wanted to write about that, but also to find the human in humanity, in the struggle of trying to find and manage our place in the world,” Drake said. Though Drake doesn’t have an intended message for her novel, “The Stud Book,” she does hope for it to raise a few questions about population, the decision to have children and the question of biological diversity. “In other words, how we’re all going to live together, all these people, in exponentially increasing generations. But also, I hope readers might find a few laughs and enjoy the book,” Drake said. Drake also hopes that people will read her book because she truly thinks readers will enjoy it and take something from her novel. Drake is also the author of “Clown Girl,” a novel winner of the Eric Hoffer Award, which is also known as an Independent Publishers Award. The author of the novel, Drake, will be discussing “The Stud Book,” Thursday, Oct. 24, in the Austin Reading Room in Nicholson Library at 7:30 p.m. Special Lovincey can be reached at linfieldreviewculture@gmail.com.

Khayat speaks on respect, race relations, responsibility Sheena Barnett Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, Tupelo
Respecting others and working on a team fueled his successes as chancellor at the University of Mississippi, Robert Khayat told an audience at the Lee County Library on Sunday. Khayat charmed a full house when he spoke as a part of the Helen Foster Lecture Series about his new book, “The Education of a Lifetime.” Khayat, who served as chancellor from 1995 to 2009, saw jumps in enrollment, increased numbers of honors stvudents, the addition of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and a growing operating budget under his leadership. One of his biggest challenges, he said, was the removal of the Confederate flag. Ole Miss’ image suffered because of the flag, and he received death threats and hate mail over the controversy. “My parents believed in

treating people with respect,” Khayat said. His recalled when his Lebanese-American father was asked to move to the back pews of the church when he was a child, and said he strove to treat others with respect because of moments like that one. “The way [Ole Miss] was perceived had to change; we had to be inviting, and open,
authority and respect were the rules we tried to follow.” He also spoke about his upbringing in Moss Point-“I’ve had a different kind of life, kind of like Huck Finn,” he said--to his education, from his time playing for the Washington Redskins to the biggest challenges he faced at Ole Miss. The audience chuckled as he recalled stories from his early years as an Ole Miss student trying to understand chemistry and going to an Elvis Presley concert. Khayat said he sees Ole Miss, and Mississippi, improving every day, especially in race relations. “The love and affection between black and white people is extraordinary. The anger and resentment between black and white people is extraordinary. We’ve got to meet in the middle of that, and I think we can,” he said. “I grew up in Mississippi, and I wanted us to feel good about ourselves, and wanted others to feel good about us.”

That’s not hard.” He looked on his fellow administrators at Ole Miss as a football player looks at his teammates. “I was chancellor, but I was on a team.

‘Watchmen’ defies perception of superheroes Paige Jurgensen Columnist
What does it take to put on a costume and attempt to save the world? Perhaps some overly sculpted muscles, awesome sewing skills or a severe personality disorder. Alan Moore’s graphic novel, “Watchmen,” is a psychological mystery about masked crime fighters. The story begins with the murder of a retired vigilante, The Comedian, a decade after vigilantism was outlawed. His fellow crime fighter, Rorschach, is convinced that it was not
merely murder, but a part of something deeper: the annihilation of all masked fighters. With World War III pending, Rorschach a mysterious man with a take-no-prisoners attitude and the only remaining active vigilante left in New York City, makes it his mission to go and warn his former colleagues: Nite Owl, the Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias. Meanwhile, Dr. Manhattan is the world’s only superhero that holds power over all matter and who is employed by the United States government, is facing accusations that he is caus-

Silk Spectre. No character in this intense graphic novel is what anyone would define as emotionally stable. They are all trying to live a mundane life while attempting to avoid the violent reality that is their past, present and future. What sets “Watchmen” apart from other superhero comics is that it is undoubtedly real, or as real as any comic can be. Moore does not portray his heroes as heroes, but rather as flawed individuals that desperately feel the need to save the world, for better or for worse. In addition, Moore allows the reader to see the world as the crap-
py, violent and over all mean place that it is and the reader is force to ask him or herself: is this worth saving? “I suppose I was just thinking, ‘That would be a good way to start a comic book: have a famous superhero found dead.’ As the mystery unraveled, we would be led deeper and deeper into the real heart of this super-hero’s world and show a reality that was very different to the general public image of the super-hero,” Moore said, who kind of looks like an insane mountain man or may or may not eat babies on the regular. The novel is exquisitely illustrated by Dave Gibbons.
Gibbons was able to make Moore’s intense story something beautiful to look at and impossible not the read. On a personal note, when reading through the novel, Gibbons artwork struck me so deeply that I found it completely necessary to have a piece of his artwork tattooed on my calf because I felt if I had to live one more second without it I may just explode. “Watchmen” is horribly violent, crass and sexually explicit like many graphic novels, but it holds a quality that many cannot say they possess: truth.

and one near the end of the first half. The freshmen now has eight total goals on the season. Autencio added another goal to his total as well, placing him second on the team list for goals this season. The win against George Fox also marked Jorge Rodriguez’s return from the injury list. A notable statistic in this game was the extremely high number of fouls called on both teams. Linfield and George Fox combined for 36 fouls during the course of the game, tallying seven a piece in the first half and eleven in the second. There were a few occasions where the referees were forced to step in to stop potential fights, and George Fox was issued a red card early in the second half. Linfield plays University of Puget Sound at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 at home, followed by a game at 2:30 on Oct. 27 against Pacific Lutheran University, also at home.

Soccer’s fast pace equals more injuries As I was watching the men’s soccer game on Oct. 19, not only did I see our Wildcats crush Pacific University 4-2, but I also noticed how physical soccer was as a sport. The players never seemed to stop moving. They were always chasing after the ball, dribbling the ball past the opposing players and even sliding aggressively in attempt to switch team possession. If you haven’t caught on yet, soccer was not a significant part of my life. It wasn’t popular where I was growing up. And I admit that last Saturday was my first time watching a soccer game. Despite what others have told me about the pace of the game, I actually enjoyed the slower pace. Even though the game wasn’t as fast-paced as football or basketball, I felt like the excitement never really
stopped. It looked like all the players where consistently being competitive and never stopped moving. I would like to emphasize this point because it pretty much blows me away. Pretty much every player, excluding the goalie, had to go from running with stamina to short spurts of sprints and heavy footwork. Not only did they have to make that transition, but the players had to do so quickly to maintain possession of the ball. Even though I am fairly uneducated when it comes to soccer, I do know as a runner of that particular variety of movements is very demanding on your lower bodies. I became curious of the types of injuries soccer players faced because of the nature of the sport and so I did a little research. Some injuries are pretty
Sports Commentary
Camille Weber Sports columnist predictable. The top four most common injuries include sprains, strains, fractures and knee injuries. After ankle sprains, medial collateral ligament sprains of the knee are most common. Muscle strains are also a common injury soccer player’s face. Most strains occur most commonly with groin muscles, hamstrings and quadriceps. Although muscle strains are often over-looked as small and annoying pains, muscle
strains do keep players off the field as it can lead to more serious injuries in the future. The majority of soccerrelated fractures happen in the lower extremities. Although fractures can be very serious, an easy way to protect a player from fractures is to ensure that proper protective gear, shin guards, are being utilized. As knee injuries are dominant in runners, it makes sense that soccer players also have to deal with a substantial amount of knee injuries. In fact, knee injuries are the most common type of major injury in soccer. Many knee injuries, especially ACL ruptures, occur away from contact. They are often the result of putting too much of a load on the knee joint during the sudden stops and starts. One of the most surprising injuries in my opinion are head injuries. I assumed that
if soccer players knew how to head the ball properly, that they wouldn’t have to worry about head injuries. Well to my surprise, head injuries have become a cause of concern for some members of the soccer community. In an article found in Medical News Today entitled “Soccer Headers can lead to brain Injury,” advanced scans show that soccer players who head the ball frequently have changes in the white matter of their brain that mirror those seen in traumatic head injuries. This finding is causing a lot of concern for soccer fans, especially since according to U.S. Youth Soccer statistics estimated that about 3,020,633 youth are participating in soccer this year alone. So knowing the top five injuries in soccer, what are the most dangerous positions? According to Ortho Northeast, a website that special-
izes in injury information and treatments, the most dangerous positions on the field were forward and goalkeeper. Forwards accounted for 28 percent of the injuries, as forwards are expected to have speed, good footwork, and a powerful shot. Goalkeepers on the other hand accounted for 18 percent of injuries as goalies have to have good positioning, fast reaction and good ball handling skills. These are just a few interesting things I found in terms of injuries in soccer. I have new found respect for the game of soccer and regret not discovering the beauty of the sport earlier. However, for all of those looking to pick up the sport, remember to have fun and to keep these potential injuries in mind. Camille Weber can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.
Wildcats lose against conference leaders, 3-0 sets

Helen Lee/Photo editor Linfield’s volleyball team celebrates after outside hitter Kailana Ritte-Camara (16) spiked the ball to score a point during the second set of the Oct. 18 match against the University of Puget Sound. Ritte-Camara had five kills during that match. The Linfield Wildcats will face the Willamette Bearcats on Oct. 25 in Salem.
Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor The Wildcats face another crushing blow against Pacific Lutheran University and Puget Sound University on Oct. 18 and 19. The volleyball team finished the weekend earning their ninth conference loss, 3-0, against Pacific Lutheran. “Some challenges the team faced this weekend was beating ourselves,” Junior Kailana Ritte-Camara said in an email. “We just have to minimize our unforced errors on our side
of the court, and to capitalize on free balls.” The first set started in favor of the Lutes, but was followed by the first Linfield kill by junior Victoria Thompson. Ritte-Camara earned the second kill of the set. However after a short lead, Pacific Lutheran regained the lead. The set ended, 25-14 for the Lutes. The Lutes quickly took control of the second set, except briefly when the ’Cats were tied at the ninth point due to a service error on Pacific Lutheran. Pacific Lutheran took the set,
25-20. The third set also went to Pacific Lutheran with a momentary lead by the Wildcats thanks to kills by Thompson and freshman Molly McTaggart. However, the Lutes won the final set, 25-20. “I think we played really hard this past weekend, and we had moments of great volleyball,” RitteCamara said in an email. “So if we just clean it up a little but, we will be a great team. We have so much talent, we just have to be consistent enough to show our potential.”
The Friday match against Logger ended with a loss for the Wildcats. Puget Sound has been slotted to win the conference title once again with a NWC record of 9-1. The Loggers won Friday’s match 3-0. Oct. 18’s match was also featured as a “Pinkout” event through the combined effort of the Linfield Athletic department and Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. The Wildcats wore pink jerseys in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, while members of the ZTA sorority handed out pink ribbons to spectators.
Helen Lee/Photo editor Sophomore Zoey Hendryx wrestles the volleyball away from her friend during the pinkout Oct. 18 mid-game “Musical Volleyball” version of the musical chairs game. Hendryx won a free pizza for her efforts. “We had an awesome time for the pinkout game because we know how important it is,” RitteCamara said in an email. “We supported it by wearing pink jerseys, which we loved. Some girls also used pink tape to honor the pinkout.” The team will next compete against Willamette at
7 p.m. on Oct. 25 in Salem, Ore. On the following day, the Wildcats will face off with the Lewis & Clark Pioneers at 7 p.m. in Portland, Ore.

Wildcats secure 58 year winning steak Stephanie Hofmann Sports editor At second in the nation, the football team beat the Whitworth University pirates 51-17 at Spokane, Wash. on Oct. 19. The Wildcats blew the Pirates out of the water by 34 points overall
which secured their 58 consecutive winning steak. The steak started in 1955 and through some close calls the team has kept it this whole time. Since Linfield has won its past five games out of 11 total, they are now winning more than they could possibly lose. “It means a lot to keep the streak
going another year,” Junior Colin Nelson said. “We are a part of a very special program and we all recognize that.” Looking back on when these two teams have met before, this is the sixth straight wins against the Pirates and its all time series record between the two teams is 32-5-2.
The Linfield offense held its own this game with 51 total points, the first touchdown being in just the first five minutes of the game. Some notable players were senior Josh Yoder with 16 rushing with a total >> Please see Football page 13
Men’s soccer fights its way to a win Drew Mahrt Senior sports reporter The Linfield men’s soccer team increase its win streak to five after defeating Pacific University, 4-2, and George Fox University, 3-1. With freshman keeper Jorge Rodriguez still out in Linfield’s game against Pacific, their offense came through and got the Wildcats the win. Junior keeper Grant Loriaux saved four of Pacific’s six shots on goal and helped his team get downfield quickly with his powerful kicks from the goalie box. It was freshman Brian Degrandmont who led the Cat’s to victory, scoring two on their goals. One of which came about two minutes into the game, and the other early in the second half, which was ultimately the game-winning score. Nicholas Autencio also contributed to the win by scoring his fourth goal of the season. This goal came a few minutes after Degrandmont gave Linfield the lead and helped take a little pressure off of its defense and keeper. Degrandmont was also the star of the game in Linfield defeat over George Fox on Oct. 20. He contributed another two goals, with another score within the first five minutes >> Please see Soccer page 14
