The following statistics are for the McMinnville campus.

There was one case of forcible sex offense in 2012, going down from nine the previous year and no cases of non-forcible sex offense.

The most dramatic increase was in the number of drug law arrests, rising to 11 last year from only two in 2011. The number of robberies also doubled from three in 2010 to

six last year.

The largest number of offenses is seen in liquor law referrals and drug law referrals, respectively citing 114 and 32 offenses last year.

Another notable increase was in illegal weapons possession referrals, which increased to three after having none for the two previous

Students discover more about wine during summer program Gilberto Galvez Features editor

Students who participated in “The Linfield College Oregon Wine Industry Experience” found ways to further their interests and find new ones this summer.

The program was set up by Linfield Center for the Northwest

to give Linfield students a taste of the wine industry. Seniors Shelby Duarte and Kelly Carmody both participated this summer and are still participating in the program.

This summer students visited vineyards and wineries around Oregon, learning everything about the wine-making process.

“We learned about all areas of

the wine industry, such as winemaking, food and wine pairing, biodynamic farming, how to drive a forklift,” Duarte said. “We got a general overview of all the subjects and to hear a lot of different wine makers.” >> Please see Wine page 4

Alumni events for returning graduates of Linfield were among Homecoming week’s many festivities for Wildcats old and new.

Directors of Alumni and Parent Relations, Debbie Harmon Ferry and Travis McGuire, were responsible for coordinating the alumnirelated reunions for people in the classes of ’53, ’63, ’73, ’83, ’93 and ’03.

Additional affinity alumni group reunions were planned for graduates who have spent time in the Peace Corps, served on Linfield’s alumni board, or studied abroad in Costa Rica.

“We have events planned for alumni who majored in political science, business or economics and communications or mass communication,” Ferry said.

“Lastly, we have helped coordinate reunions for members of Phi Sigma Sigma, Theta Chi and Delta Psi Delta sorority and fraternities,” Ferry said.

Sororities and fraternities at Linfield have worked with directors of alumni and parent relations to organize events with their past members.

These gatherings happened before and after Linfield’s victorious Homecoming football game at various places around campus.

“As an alumni, I can say I love homecoming and seeing friends. I plan to participate in events both Friday and Saturday,” said Jeff Mackay, associate dean of students and director of residence life.

Mackay has helped account for the arrival of 700 alumni and friends of Linfield who came to campus by coordinating residence hall tours, and explains to students.

Each alumni event featured its own special perks, and the >> Please see Homecoming page 5

Review office hours

Nontraditional students enhance Linfield Many traditional students recognize who the nontraditional students in the Adult Degree Program are.

However, they may not realize what the benefits of having these nontraditional students in a classroom are.

Nontraditional students can bring diversity and experience into a classroom setting that other students might not have. They may also have children or different situations at home that provide them with a different perspective on life, education and career endeavors.

Because of these reasons they have the ability to bring new perspectives and opinions to discussion in classes.

Additionally, having these nontraditional students in class create great networking and learning

opportunities. Some nontraditional students have had a wide array of professions before coming to Linfield.

Unlike the average student, many nontraditional students are full-time students, workers and parents.

They can offer advice and insights into the world outside of Linfield while still being involved in the educational system.

“One of the benefits of having a nontraditional student in a traditional classroom setting is that it gives the traditional students insight to experiences that the nontraditional student may bring to classroom discussions. The dynamics of age, experience, and expectations from the nontraditional student should to be woven within the class by the professor leading and

facilitating classroom activities. This will possibly give both the traditional and nontraditional students the ability to understand and learn from each other,” said Jim Garaventa, Division of Continuing Education academic advisor, in an email.

Despite these added benefits, we believe that traditional students do not necessarily understand how to interact with nontraditional students since they live different lifestyles and often times live off campus.

“The disadvantage that may occur is that the nontraditional student may find himself or herself feeling isolated from the rest of the class due to age, experiences and a sense of not being part of the on-site Linfield community. I think professors and students can overcome

this by making them feel welcome,” Garaventa said.

The best way to get the most out of Linfield diversity on campus and in the classroom is to be open to new and nontraditional students.

Traditional students should be encouraged to make nontraditional students feel welcome and a part of the Linfield community.

The benefits of their attendance and participation in class help create a holistic learning environment, which is exactly what all of us are hoping to get from a liberal arts college.

So embrace the dynamics of a classroom full of traditional and nontraditional students, you will ultimately gain the most from your classroom experiences.

RELATIONSHIPS

The pros, cons of dating in a small college It is the peak of your sexual prime; you are finally in the college environment.

You have a fresh start and you are available, this could be a positive and a negative aspect depending on your situational standpoint.

Pros: With less people enrolled at a private college, you get to know people much more personally. Meeting multiple people at the same time can become intimidating when you are in a massive group of other students.

By going to a small school, the likelihood of getting the attention on yourself is ideal for getting that special someone to notice you from across the room.

It is also likely that people you know may have a connection to this person. Networking through

Rosa Johnson Copy editor friends on a small campus is easy and quick. Sure, you could Facebook stalk them, but nothing competes to getting information on your love interest through an actual person.

Now that you are finally one-on-one with this potential mate, you can get a better understanding of them as a person.

This could be your possible soul mate, most people meet their lifelong lovers in college, the importance of

having compatibility with this other person is vital.

Living on an enclosed campus makes visiting this person simple. Plans can be made to meet up for Starbucks in between classes or you can visit each other’s dorm rooms.

Just make sure you hang something off the doorknob to let your roommate know that you are both bonding.

Cons: Let’s say you went to a fraternity party over the weekend and you were not exactly your sober self.

If you do not want to remember what went down with someone, then this is where these interpersonal connections can turn its back on you.

Gossip is a given when everyone knows each other.

The talk could harm, or if you are lucky, better your

reputation. Your name and actions may always be associated with the other person’s. If you mess up, everyone will know all of the details of how it went down.

With this tight-knit community, it is hard to escape seeing the other person around. Sure, you can pretend to be on your phone while they walk by, but that will not stop the fact that seeing your ex is unavoidable.

Living in dorms, you tend to always run into the person before you are presentable for public viewing.

Especially if you live in coed housing, or are involved in a fraternity and or sorority, temptations could be overwhelming.

It is college and a lot of people are not always ready to find their future

spouses, so commitment is not always guaranteed.

Getting attached is definitely unpleasant when you are not monogamous with this person, in actuality they will sleep with anything that is just as willing.

Either way, dating in college is supposed to be enjoyable as long as it is healthy and you are getting some action. It does not really matter what an article in the school newspaper says.

If you find yourself reading this article, you were probably questioning your confidence of the relationship in the first place.

In the end, it is a liberal arts school in Oregon, there is not much else to expect anything other than sexually frustrated students.

CAMPUS LIFE

Student audiences should show more respect

As a member of the Linfield Review staff, I’ve attended many events on campus.

Most of them are beyond words, inspiring and full of facts I’ve yet to learn in any classroom.

Often times I find myself wishing that more people would go to them and take away the same feelings as I do.

However, with this hope, comes consequences. Many professors are now requiring their students to attend events and speakers, which is great, except for when they really have no interest in being there in the first place.

My most current example

Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor of this is the freshmen colloquiums requiring its students to attend the “Voices of Hiroshima” lecture.

I was ecstatic to see the turn out at the beginning of the event. Every seat was filled and students were asked to sit on the ground lining the stairs and railings

of the balcony.

However, this was shortlived, because after the first speaker had finished the telling of his story—his life and the affects of Hiroshima on his family—many students had gotten up and left during the transition to the next speaker.

This continued for the rest of the event and after each speaker, the audience got smaller and smaller.

I couldn’t help but feel disgusted by the behavior exhibited by these students.

The speakers, many of whom this was their first trip to America, were excited to tell their stories.

It was a chance for them

to share not only their stories from Hiroshima, but also share their culture as a whole.

Their faces and posture clearly showed they were excited to be given this opportunity to talk to students.

Why couldn’t the students leaving show that same excitement?

The answer is simple and applies to many events here at Linfield. The students leaving didn’t actually want to be there in the first place, they were only required to go.

They stayed just long enough to show their presence, get enough information for a quick essay and other short responses.

Another incident I heard of was at the Maxwell McComb lecture on Sept. 24.

After sitting through part of McComb’s speech, students in the front row got up and left Riley 201.

Many different Linfield departments work very hard to get all the visiting speakers to come lead discussions and give leacture to the student body and McMinnville community.

It is understandable they want people to attend, and the only way professors and faculty can guarantee an audience is by making it mandatory for their students to go.

Now this brings up the

issue of a quality audience versus the quantity of the audience.

It is an issue that there really is no answer to yet.

Either the audience is filled briefly or the audience is small and is hooked on every word.

I only suggest, everyone here at Linfield thinks about how it looks to these distinguished guest.

Let’s all have a little respect and stick out the events we go to.

Besides, if a class is requiring you to be there, shouldn’t you be there the whole time anyways?

SUSTAINABILITY

Composting on campus helps local pigs, farms Nicole Lewis Office of Sustainability Guess what?

Composting on campus continues with the residence halls!

There are currently 13 halls with brand new compost buckets.

We’re making strides with composting at the football games, the garden and Dillin Hall as well.

If you didn’t already know, Dillin Hall’s preconsumer and post-consumer food waste is picked up by a pig farmer and fed to pigs on a local farm.

Since the food is sent to a pig farm, all types of food scraps are acceptable, but compostable containers and napkins are not.

Just think, what could I feed a pig? And compost accordingly.

At the Linfield Community Garden, composting is a little different.

The compost is made in a large tumbler and is used directly in the garden.

The garden compost can take fruits, vegetables and some fibrous materials such as paper or yard debris, but cannot take meat or dairy products.

The new compost bins around campus and the bins in the residence halls follow the same rules as Dillin Hall and all food is acceptable.

Grover Hall is off to a great start according to freshman Alaire Hughey, Grover Hall’s green chair.

“It’s been less than a week since we set up the bins and there is already

a substantial amount of food scraps just waiting to be eaten by some adorable pigs,” Hughey said.

This is an exciting time for Linfield because sustainable efforts are becoming increasingly more visible on campus.

This year is also a fresh start for the green chair positions in each hall.

They play an active role on campus this year by having bi-monthly meetings to focus on goals and projects for the upcoming months.

This week will mark the first week that each green chair has a compost bin to care for.

Every week, they are responsible for emptying the compost.

Knowledge about composting varies among people and awareness is growing.

Now that you have a little more information, you can take advantage of all the composting opportunities because it is all around us.

Let’s work together as a campus and continue towards Zero Waste.

This weekend at the homecoming football games, please use the recycling and composting facilities available and say hi to the Green Team volunteers.

Last, but not least, don’t forget to check out Linfield Sustainability on Facebook for weekly updates!

MEDIA

Media creates our social norms

How many times has someone told you that whatever you do isn’t normal?

It happens to a lot of people and for different reasons.

It might be because of the things they do and do not enjoy, but everyone has their concept of normal and are a little threatened by anything that challenges that concept.

Where does the idea of normal come from?

It comes from the TV shows we watch, the books we read and the music we listen to.

Every piece of media put out into the world is a message. Artists knowingly and unknowingly put their beliefs into any work they create.

Consumers also conscious and subconsciously pick up these beliefs, slowly creating social norms.

These norms can be about

Gilberto Galvez Features editor anything from what constitutes boy versus girl toys, to what our concept of beauty is.

Gender norms are a perfect example. Joss Whedon, creator of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and countless other shows, was once asked why he kept writing strong female characters.

His response was, “Because you’re still asking me that question.” With that answer, Whedon pointed out one of the things that is wrong with our modern American

culture. We are always surprised when a strong female character makes it either to any form of media.

This means there are countless books, movies, plays and other forms of media out there with a weak female protagonist that is influencing modern society, convincing us that femininity is a weakness.

There are many artists like Whedon who are combating this norm, but this could just as easily create a new norm.

Not all strong female characters are as well-rounded as Buffy Summers, Veronica Mars or even a majority of the characters in “Orange is the New Black.” Some female characters might as well just become stereotypical macho males with boobs.

It is the little things that consumers have to watch for.

Ke$ha may sexualize men in her music much like men have sexualized women for generations, but is that really the battle we want on our hands: A fight over which gender can sexualize the other the most?

When we know where we are getting our social norms from, it is much easier to experience any sort of media with at least an ounce of intelligence.

An intelligent consumer doesn’t blindly follow along but questions everything, every character and every character’s action.

An intelligent artist makes sure they realize the messages they are sending and I hope that more and more artists follow in Whedon’s footsteps.

Advising lecture for pre-med students Tenure Ryan Morgan Senior reporter

As if getting accepted into medical school was not hard enough, students who are accepted have around 80 hours of study per week to look forward to.

Pre-medical advisor for Linfield, Anne Kruchten, associate professor of biology, illustrated some of the requirements and difficulties for students entering the medical field at an informational session on Sept. 30.

Kruchten focused on the entrance into schools of four popular fields of medicine:

pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dentistry and pre-pharmacy.

“You cannot get around this, you have to have good grades [to be accepted],” Kruchten said of pre-med programs.

“That does not mean [that] if you get a B or a C in one of your classes this year that life is over,” Kruchten said.

For those of you who are underclassmen, “[Schools] want to see that as you adjust, you keep improving,” Kruchten said.

While it is common knowledge that high scholastic achievement is a cornerstone

of entering medical school, Kruchten also said that medical schools are actually looking for students that have valuable skill sets outside of academia.

Effective written and verbal communication skills are also valued by medical schools, Kruchten said.

“Four years from now when you apply [to medical school,] you are going to have to write a personal statement and in two pages, you have to explain exactly why you are ready to be a doctor,” Kruchten said.

Job shadowing medical professionals will also give

you an edge over other medical school applicants. Medical schools will value not only that you have gained valuable experience, but that you were able to make contact with people outside your comfort zone, Kruchten said.

Another option along the lines of job shadowing would be to take a job over the summer that involves interpersonal skills. For example, employment at a customer service desk if you can tie that experience into dealing effectively with people, Kruchten said.

Of course, even with all of the experience that comes with job shadowing, students

must still take MCAT and other like tests to enter medical school.

Once in school though, doctoral programs will require at least 80 hours of in class and outside study hours per week.

“This is not an easy path,” said Kruchten.

For those of you who are interested in medical school and missed this pre-medical advising event, contact academic advising at aad@linfield.edu to be put in touch with one of the four pre-med advisors at Linfield.

“It would be amazing if I could get a job in the wine industry,” Carmody said. “That’s something I’m going to pursue. I definitely want to do something in videography and graphic design. I feel like there’s a lot of room in the wine industry for that.”

Carmody would like to possibly make videos or labels for wineries. She and her roommate senior Caren Siegel, who is also a participant in the program, created some wine labels this summer.

They received advice from Andrea La Rue of Nectar Graphics on how to improve them and plan to use them in the spring.

Duarte is a marketing major and hopes to acquire a marketing job at Ponzi Wine Bar. “If there isn’t anything available through Ponzi, I will reach out to other wineries,” Duarte said. “I really like the wine industry here.”

Amy Orr, George A. Westcott III distinguished professor of sociology, will present a lecture on the role of tenure for professors and whether it is necessary in the present day at 7 p.m. on Oct. 9 in Riley Hall 201.

It is titled “Academic Tenure: Needed Protection or Outdated Tradition?”

“I imagine that there will be a very diverse range of reactions to what I will say,” Orr said. “I anticipate that people may feel intrigued, angry, surprised, happy, frustrated, relieved and various other emotions. Perhaps some will even feel empowered. In the end, I at least hope that we are all better educated.”

Orr is the chair of the sociology and anthropology department and has worked at Linfield since 2001.

Her work often focuses on inequalities due to race and sex and especially how those inequalities apply to the classroom.

“This might be one of the most important faculty lectures that I present,” Orr said.

“This issue of academic tenure is critical.”

Academic tenure is the position a professor can reach after a certain number of years at a university, and typically the time allotted to reach tenure is a specific number of years. Tenure means that a professor cannot be fired unless there is a just cause for doing so.

Established in 1905, tenure is different between colleges and universities, but once a person reaches tenure it is quite difficult to fire them.

Its creation was seen as a way for professors to speak their minds and develop their own opinions apart from the official opinions of the college or university they worked for.

This allowed for more freedom of speech and a break from rigid authority on college campuses.

This process takes into consideration their teaching effectiveness, professional achievements and service to Linfield, their profession and the community.

“Overall, I believe that the issues that I will discuss affect every college and university, though at varying degrees.

Linfield is not an exception.

I imagine and hope, that members of the Linfield community will be able to apply what they learn to our own college,” Orr said.

Wine: Possible internships for all participants Both Duarte and Carmody did not really understand wine until they participated in the program.

“When I started the internship, I definitely wasn’t a big wine drinker, but I’ve tasted so much wine now,” Carmody said.

“I’ve come a long way from thinking it tastes like bad grape juice. It definitely has all these flavors and undertones to it.”

“I didn’t [like wine] at first,” Duarte said. “But once I started in the program, I tasted good wine.”

For the harvest, Duarte and Carmody work with two different wineries. Carmody interns with Dominio IV, a winery on Fifth Street, and Duarte has a job working in Ponzio Wine Bar’s tasting room.

“I’m learning something new every day,” Duarte said. “My wine manager who has been in the wine industry for 35 years also says there’s always something to learn.”

The Oregon Wine Experience Program also finds a way to tie into a student’s interests.

According to Duarte, most of the participants are marketing majors and using the experience as an opportunity to get some real world experience.

Spring Term 2014, the students are allowed to find an internship that interests them.

Carmody is an electronic arts major, which is a combination of mass communication, computer science and the fine arts. Her hope with the wine industry experience is to get a job advertising different wineries and vineyards.

Professor’s hard work pays off with recent awards Paige Jurgensen Columnist It is every writer’s hope that their determination and hard work will lead to publication and hopefully, acknowledgment.

Lissa Wadewitz, an associate professor of history, is one example of hard work paying off.

“The biggest challenge, I think, is persevering. It takes a lot of time and energy, and when you’re teaching as much as we teach, it means really the summer is your main time to write and to fill research holes, so I think being able to stay up on that at the same time as teaching is a real challenge energy wise,” Wadewitz said.

Her “Nature of Borders: Salmon and Boundaries in the Salish Sea,” was published in July 2012, after nearly a decade of preparation.

A year later, Wadewitz found about her win of the Hal K. Rothman prize from the Western History Association and a few months later, she also won the John Lyman Award from the North Society for Oceanic History.

“It is wonderful to find that these different organizations see the value of the story that I was trying to tell

and the value of the information included in the book as well,” Wadewitz said.

“I have had several people contact me and tell me how useful they found it, for contemporary issues surrounding fishery management, which is really gratifying,” Wadewitz said.

According to Linfield News, the John Lyman Award is given to “recognize excellence in the publication of books that make significant contributions to the study and understanding of maritime and naval history.”

Being a historian as well as a writer goes hand in hand, according to Wadewitz “it is pretty common for historians to write books, that is not true of all disciplines.”

As anyone who has ever taken a class with Wadewitz knows, she tried to impress the importance of well written work to her students.

“Trying to write a book that you don’t want to be boring is also a challenge, so thinking about narrative and thinking about ways to engage readers and to have it be a history book and a serious history book, but also be something that people might also want to read, I think, was also a real challenge. Hopefully I succeeded,” Wadewitz said.

Erin Heltsley/Freelance photographer Assistant Professor of History Lissa Wadewitz holds up her book “The Nature of Borders.” Wadewitz has recently received two awards for her book, which was published in July 2012 and details the history and troubles with the current boundaries of salmon fishing on the Salish Sea off the coast of Washington and Canada.

This outlook certainly affected the success of Wadewitz’s debut novel.

One of the best things

about Linfield is that so many of our professors are recognized authors in their field and as students it is

our duty to take advantage of resources like Wadewitz.

In order to learn how to be, not only successful in the

academic world, but also in the real world.

Students saddle up for competition Gilberto Galvez/Features editor

Sophomore Maddie Bergman came to Linfield College with the expectation that she would compete in horse jumping, having done it for 10 years already. Senior Chris Fellers was a junior when Bergman entered college and he had just began participating in competitive horse jumping when he started college. Together, Bergman and Fellers joined a group of trainees trained by Feller’s father, Rich Fellers who is a professional horse jumper and owns Rich Fellers Stables Limited Liability Company.

“I’ve always been around horses, but I wasn’t really that interested in it,” Fellers said. Fellers and Bergman train and compete in the same locations.

“It’s not necessarily a team sport,” Fellers said. “My dad trains us and we go to competitions together.”

Bergman had been in contact with Rich Fellers before she came to Linfield, exchanging emails the summer before her freshman year.

“His dad is pretty famous, so I’d always admired his dad,” Bergman said. “It worked out really great that I was able to go to Linfield and train with his dad.” Bergman has been riding horses her whole life, but she started getting into the more competitive side of riding about six years ago. Fellers on the other hand, had been into sports, but not horse jumping until he started college.

“I’ve always just been in sports,” Fellers said. “I got into the riding for the sport aspect of it. When I started riding a couple years ago, that’s when I started competing.”

“In high school I was just focused on the sports, played basketball and track,” Fellers said. “I didn’t really find interest in the riding, so I just left it. Then I picked it up and it’s really addicting. I really can’t imagine not doing it now.”

Bergman and Fellers, as mentioned before, train together with Rich Fellers. They work on dressage with the horses and set up courses for the horses to jump through. Recently they have been Photo courtesy of Les Peterson to Canada and in October the duo Sophomore Maddie Bergman competes in Langley, British is going to Del Mar, Calif. for two Columbia, Canada.

Mystery novels reveals tension between modernization, culture Mariah Gonzales Culture editor Murder, intrigue, romance and myth makes for a thrilling, page-turner novel.

Tom Peek, author of the novel, “Daughters of Fire,” will be doing a book reading on Friday, Oct. 11 in Nicholson Library at 7:30 p.m.

The plot of the book features three Hawaiian women who work together and use their traditional Hawaiian roots to come up against the Western modernization in Hawaii in an attempt to protect their Hawaiian culture and their culturally sacred land.

Peek said that his novel picks up Hawaii’s story where James A. Michener’s “Hawaii” left off.

While Michener’s novel conveys some of the issues Native Hawaiians faced from colonization until statehood—when it was published—it misses some of the greatest changes in the islands since that time.

“Daughters of Fire” portrays the current impact of Hawaii becoming a state in 1959.

Three of the consequences of statehood were expan-

sion of tourism, military and real estate development.

Peek gave the example of Kahoolawe Island off of Maui that was used for the United States Navy’s bombing practice.

This became a problem for the Native Hawaiians because that island is sacred to them.

Expanded tourism and real estate development also became problems during statehood because resorts, buildings and houses were built on what Hawaiian culture considers sacred grounds.

Not only are these subjects a main part of the book, but the novel also portrays insight into the traditional Hawaiian culture, traditions and beliefs as a whole.

The book also reflects an overarching struggle of Hawaii maintaining its traditional culture and practices in a modern day world through one of its main characters, Maile, who is half Hawaiian and half Chinese American, and struggles with her identity between her American and Hawaiian cultural traditions.

The book’s cover pic-

tures Pele who is the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes.

Culturally, the Hawaiian see Pele as a sacred and creative force.

The three women in the novel “as Native Hawaiians who still honor and practice their culture, respect this revered deity and in that sense are ‘Daughters of Fire’ as is Pele,” Peek said.

“Pele is an important deity in contemporary Hawaiian culture, especially for people on the Big Island, which still has active volcanoes—one of which is erupting right now,” Peek said.

“According to Hawaiian elders and cultural practitioners, Pele is primarily a creative force--not an angry force as Westerners often portray her—who builds islands, though she can destroy things if she feels betrayed or is compelled to protect the islands,” Peek said.

Peek wrote this novel using fictional characters who deal with actual contemporary problems that some of his personal friends have experienced.

“Daughters of Fire” took Peek 10 years to write, and five different Native Hawaiians reviewed what

with the influence of Western modernization.

Peek said that he wrote the novel for the American audience, meaning people who are not from Hawaii, so that the audience can

understand the current conflicts and turmoil in Hawaii.

Author reveals life of slave woman during Civil War Paige Jurgensen Columnist When one thinks of the American Civil War, the common image in our minds is of dirty nineteenth century Americans firing muskets in bloody battlefields and carrying worn flags.

But does anyone ever think about the women of the civil war, especially the slave women?

Dr. Lois Leveen, of Portland, did to the impressive extent that she wrote “The Secrets of Mary Bowser,” published in 2012.

Nicholson Library hosted Leveen for a lecture and reading of her novel on Oct. 3.

Already an author of several academic publications, as a professor, Leveen was thrilled of the opportunity to write a novel that would be read by more than just academics.

“The Secrets of Mary Bowser” tells the story of a slave woman that was freed and sent north to receive and education, only to make the choice to return to the southern states in order to become a spy for the union.

Posing as a slave, Bowser worked in the confederate

“

white house for Jefferson Davis and used her position and extraordinary memory, to deliver crucial secrets back to the union.

Unfortunately, Mary Bowser, despite her incredible story, had very little information saved about her. Leveen saw this as an opportunity to create characters that she believed their inspirations would be

out in her lecture.

“Slave people were individuals. They were different from one another… I want people to think about being a slave, about the differences between urban slaves and plantation slaves,” Leveen said.

What must it have been like to have to be forced to leave one’s family in order to obtain freedom? Freedom, before the end of the civil war, was to be taken at the cost of solidarity.

Mary accepted this cost, which might have led to the accepted costs of the risks she took when returning to the south as a spy.

“One of the things that I realized while writing the novel is that being a slave is great training for being a spy… You are told that you are one thing, property, while you know you are another, human,” Leveen said.

Leveen’s telling of Mary Bowser’s heroic story is an inspirational blend of fiction and history.

Slave people were individuals. They were different from one another.

proud of.

“There was no conclusive evidence about Mary’s family, so I got to invent who they are,” Leveen said.

Leveen’s novel forced her readers to think about slavery, not just about the concept, but about what being a slave actually meant and what it must have been like.

Slaves lived and worked in more places than just large plantations in the Deep South, but also in urban cities, often as skilled laborers, a fact that Leveen pointed

New program provides cultural outreach to high school students Mariah Gonzales Culture editor “One benefit I gained from studying abroad [in Costa Rica] was the ability to experience and understand a different way of life that people have but still appreciate it and learn from it,” senior Sydney Waite said.

Waite is the leader of the Modern Language Department’s new outreach program called Language in Motion.

Language in Motion is a new Linfield community engagement program that was started in April 2013. The program is part of the Northwest consortium, which is made up of a group of colleges in the Northwest that participate in Language in Motion.

The group consists of Linfield College, Pacific University and Lewis and Clark College are the leading colleges of the program.

The consortium founded the program with a grant from Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, which helps

“

fund private higher education along with other interests that include secondary education, health care, religion and public television.

The program’s mission, according to the web page, says that it “enriches, and energizes [foreign] language and culture teaching and

“inspire local high school students to learn another language and study abroad,” Itomitsu said.

The program unites colleges and public schools, allowing college students to do outreach that will hopefully lead to creating connections between college and high school students, increasing the high school students interest in language and culture by demonstrating the benefits of attending college, learning and studying abroad.

“As a whole, the program hopes to spread the importance of language and culture in our society today and also the importance of experiences in other countries and with other languages and cultures,” Waite said.

Part of Waite’s job is to recruit student volunteers and to prepare and give presentations at local high schools or organizations to share her abroad experience.

The program hopes to spread the importance of language and culture.

The monster defined in literary classic Paige Jurgensen Columnist

Everyone knows the horrifying tale of Frankenstein, the hideous monster that for some reason, super hates fire.

The monster was created by a mad scientist and his wacky hunchbacked sidekick out of grave-robbed body parts.

The poor damnable creature is persecuted and exiled by terrified villagers that are armed with pitchforks and torches.

However, that story is merely a Hollywood retelling of Mary Shelley’s original novel.

Shelley’s debut novel, published in 1818, began with the narration of Captain Walton, an explorer of the northern arctic regions, as he finds a starving and nearly frozen to death man, whom Captain Walton may or may not have immediately fallen in love with.

The man shares his dreadful tale to the Captain about how he ended up in his present situation.

The man, Victor Frankenstein, was a Swiss scientist and academic that longed to create a way to hinder death.

How he manages it is left unclear, but the result of his mad reveries was

Photo courtesy of Amazon the reanimation of a creature that stood eight feet tall, with long black hair, and nearly translucent skin that revealed most of his innards.

Frankenstein rejects the monster and flees his lab.

Time passes and Frankenstein is called home after his young brother is found murdered.

On his journey home, he catches a glimpse of the monster near his hometown and suspects the monster had something to do with his brother’s murder.

Wrecked by the thought that his creation was responsible for the death of a child, Frankenstein joins his family in dismay.

When Frankenstein retreats to the mountains to seek solidarity and comfort, he is confronted by his creation.

The monster tells Frankenstein his terrible story about how he was shunted out by his father and creator, only to be thrown out by society.

Miserable and alone, the monster, wandered around the country trying to make sense of his existence and longing for a friend.

However, during his wanderings, he made a series of mistakes that could happen to anyone, such as murdering a few people and setting fire to a cottage.

Frankenstein thereafter finds himself in a predicament where he must choose whether or not to create

another monster, so that the first may not be alone.

Frankenstein’s creature is a reanimated corpse, but was he truly a monster? He learned to speak and live, as well all do, and perhaps he may have even been a part of society if he had not looked like a walking nightmare.

Perhaps Frankenstein’s creature was not a true monster, but rather just a lonely man that could not find a place in this world, and who among us has not felt that way? Who among us is not capable of becoming a monster?

Teen musician has unique talent Vanessa So KSLC Music Director When I listen to songs that are penned and sung by teenage artists, I’m in awe. They possess an ability and talent that I wish to have.

Singer, songwriter and musician Garrett J. Brown bursts into the music scene with his debut album “Priorities” was released on June 21, 2011.

Having an ear for music, Brown wrote his own lyrics and taught himself how to play piano, harmonica and guitar at a young age.

Hailing from Vermont, Brown earned his first big break when he won the 2009 Burlington First Night Rising Star Talent Search with “Passerby,” which is included on his album.

He also was named “Artist with the most potential” after performing at the Hard Rock Café in Boston.

“Tuesday” both opens the album and introduces a young Garrett J. Brown to the music

world. Brown utters “we are who we are and there’s no changing that,”which assures listeners of a self-aware artist who is grateful for his oppor-

“Kickback” is a catchy and upbeat tune that will have friends tapping their feet.

Brown aims to please crowds of all kinds as his sincere lyrics resonate to audiences of all ages.

In the self-titled track, Brown demonstrates his maturity in his song writing as he sings, “it’s not the stages you’re in, the places you’re in

or the people you’re with, it’s what you’re feeling.”

Mastered and produced by Jeff Lipton and Robert Loyot, Brown’s “Priorities” delivers an essence of folk, rock and jazz for a versatile crowd.

The production team somehow creates an intriguing balance of Drums, guitars, harmonicas and saxophones, which distinguish Garrett J. Brown from other 17-year-old musicians.

Brown closes his album with a relaxing acoustic tune, which includes lyrics that demonstrate a social need for change.

Though some of his lyrics are clichéd, Brown offers an interesting sound for musicians his age that are not commonly heard of on the radio.

against. The offense started to shine to full potential in the fourth quarter once [Josh] Yoder took over with his feet which led to holes in their pass defense. The receivers made some incredible plays and our stable of running backs punished the Lutes all game.”

The ’Cats defense didn’t let the Lutes get comfortable once on their home turf. Linfield intercepted four balls and one in particular senior Brandon Funk achieved 31 yards after a quick catch.

“I think our defense stepped up big time,” junior Colin Nelson said in an email.

“It’s tough to get a shutout regardless let alone one of the best teams in the country. Then being able to force five turnovers was definitely a huge key to our success. It helps us a ton from the offensive side

knowing that even if we aren’t having our best game that the [defense] will keep us in it and give us a shot to win.”

After a strong start to the conference season the team will take a bye week to catch up on their health and condition themselves for the upcoming game.

“We are [going to] use the bye week to make sure we all get healthy and ready to go for the second half of the season,” Nelson said in an email. “We have had a tough schedule up until this point with the travel and the quality of teams we have played and it will definitely be nice to rest up a bit.”

After the bye week ends, the team will be headed straight into the conference season in an away game against Whitworth University Pirates on Oct. 19 in Spokane, Wash.

Cross country leads fourth in Conference Camille Weber Sports columnist

With better weather on Oct. 5 in Salem, Ore., the cross country team finished in fourth place among the Northwest Conference competitors in addition to their tenth place overall win totaling 269 and 285 points, respectively, on the men’s and women’s sides of the Cardinal race.

Runners such as seniors Joe Gladow and Sienna Noe helped paced the runners at the Willamette Charles Bowles Invitational at Bush’s Pasture Park.

Gladow finished with a time of 25 minutes, 48.91 seconds in his 8000 meter run finishing only 56 seconds behind race winner junior Calvin Howell.

Howell not only broke the top 50 spots by finishing in 40th place, but also with a time of 26 minutes and 13.30 seconds.

On the women’s side, Noe finished as the Wildcats’ No. 1 runner for the first time this year finishing her 5,000 meter race with a time of 18 minutes, 52.12 seconds. Fellow senior Katie Skinner came in 13 places back with a time of 19 minutes and 11.41 seconds.

Some of the newer Linfield runners also performed well. Sophomore Alex Mangan and freshman

Michael O’Niel finished 64th and 68th respectively with Mangan clocking in at 26 minutes and 40.20 seconds while O’Neil finished in at 26 minutes and 48.64 seconds. Freshmen Marissa Kume also contributed to the team by finishing with a time of 19 minutes and 31.04 seconds taking the 70th place spot while fellow freshmen Adrian Clifford rounded out the scoring on the Linfield men’s side with a 90th place showing in 27 minutes, 20.40 seconds.

Although the ’Cats didn’t place as high as they wanted to, the team is still positive that their chances to perform well for the rest of the season are still strong.

“We had some good performances from several individuals on both the men’s and women’s sides but overall we were hoping for a better team performance,“senior Joe Gladow said. “That said, we’re still a month out from our championship races, so I think we’re in a good position to compete for a Conference title on both sides.”

The team’s next competition will be held this coming Saturday, Oct. 12 at the George Fox University Invitational, held at Willamette Mission State Park in Salem, Ore. Camille Weber can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.

Volleyball team gets scratched out by Bruins, Boxers Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor The Linfield volleyball team get torn down by the George Fox University Bruins and the Pacific University Boxers on homecoming weekend, Oct. 4 and 5.

A Wildcat win slip through their paws and into the hands of Pacific on Oct. 5 with a tough three set loss.

Starting the first set, the Wildcats were slow to start, earning the first point off a service error by Pacific.

The ‘Cats regain their footing momentarily earning kills by sophomore Shayli Coppock, juniors Kailana Ritte-Camara and Victoria Thompson, and freshman Molly McTaggart. Bringing the score up to 5-8, Linfield fought to catch the Boxers, but Pacific managed to stay ahead. The set ended 20-25 and a Pacific University win.

The second set was kicked off with an attack error made by Ritte-Camara,

followed by a kill by Pacific, quickly earning the Boxers a two-point lead. Shortly after, Coppock earned Linfield’s first point of the set.

Tying several times during the set, but in the end the Wildcats fell 21-25.

The final set against Pacific started off with a Wildcat lead, with Ritte Camara earning the first kill of the set. For the first few points, Linfield kept up with the Boxers but they slowly pulled ahead, burying the Wildcats 15-25.

“Communication was good, but I think in volleyball there is always room to improve,” Thompson said in an email. “We just need to find that fire we have when it’s game point and apply it throughout the whole game.”

Linfield also faced off with George Fox on Oct. 4 in Newberg, Ore. The ‘Cats once again could not find their finish against the Bruins going 0-3 sets.

“The communication at the George Fox game was pretty good. Because Coach Shane changed the lineup, it required a lot more communication and teamwork to perform the way we did,” freshman Casie Gaza said.

The first set ended 16-25.

The second set finished with a score of 20-25, and the final set was won by the Bruins, 17-25. Despite this lose, the Wildcats know what they need to work on next game.

“We just need to beat the mental part of the game,” Thompson said in an email.

“We all have the physical side down and have amazing potential, we just need to execute now and put that potential to use.”

The Wildcats will play their next four games at home, starting with Whitworth University on Oct. 11 at 7 p.m., followed by a game against Whitman College on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m.

The two golf teams played at the Culturama Classic at The Reserve on Oct. 5-7 in Aloha, Ore. The woman’s golf team started the tournament off strong with two players in the top ten.

Freshman Abigail Heringer was tied for fifth place with a 78 and sophomore Maggie Harlow was at tenth place with an 81 by the end of the first day.

“I thought it went pretty well,” Heringer said. “It was a tough course and there were a lot of bunkers.

We were all pretty happy with how we did.”

On the second day, the team ended with daily score of 361, which was eight points lower than the previous day, and a total score of 730.

A highlight from that day was Heringer who was keeping it consistent with a score of 78 and getting seventh place, leading the team with a total score of 156.

The team finished fifth out of seven other schools.

“I think we did okay,” Harlow said. “We hit the ball well a lot, but it just didn’t show in our scores.

Overall it was a nice weekend with some good weather.”

The team is taking a week off for practice where

they will work on their short game and keeping themselves focused until they face Lewis & Clark University at their duel on their home course, Michelbook.

“We want to work on our mental game,” head coach Brynn Hurdus said. “That’s something we can always work on and that’s part of the reason our scores are so low. They always have a positive attitude, but we need to work on keeping it there during tournaments.”

The men’s golf team’s tournament started on Oct. 6 and will continue on till Oct. 7.

The team ended the first day in sixth place out of 11

teams. Key players were junior Kevin Kawasaki who is at tenth place with a score of 74 and junior Taylor Pirnke left with a score of 78.

“It could have been better,” Pirnke said. “A couple of guys ran into some bad holes and that made our scores increase. I think we started to get the hang of it and we will do better tomorrow.”

The men’s team will continue their tournament tomorrow and will be playing a previously canceled tournament at The Reserve on Oct. 20-21.

Team learns the hard way that spots are earned Sports Commentary

Camelle Weber Sports columnist Last week, there was news that a Utah high school football coach suspended his entire team over poor discipline and cyberbullying.

When I first heard about the coach’s radical decision I thought it was impressive that he stood so firmly against those issues. But

another thought also went through my head: did the coach take disciplining his athletes a little too far?

Here’s a little more of a backstory. Union High School football coach Matt Labrum had grown frustrated with reports of his players skipping class, receiving poor grades and allegedly cyber-bullying a fellow student.

After the cougars’ loss against rival Judge Memorial Catholic High School, head coach Matt Labrum told all of his players that they were no longer a team and that all the athletes had to turn in their jerseys.

In total, 80 boys left the locker room with their head held low and some in tears,

but amazingly both the athletes and their parents were not angry with the coach’s decision. Some parents commented that the coach was just giving the kids a good life lesson by trying to change these boys into men.

And how exactly are the coaches attempting to do that?

Well, after the team had been disbanded, the coach held a 7 a.m. meeting the following day on how the players could earn their spots back. In a letter written and signed by all the coaches, it outlined that the players had the opportunity to earn their spots back by cleaning-up streets around their community as

part of new team-mandated community service work, mandatory study hall sessions, in addition to attending character classes during hours when they previously would have been practicing.

In addition to cleaning up the teenagers’ acts, the coach also re-assigned new captains which were based on a vote by the team. Only two of the original seven were voted back as team captains.

“We looked at it as a chance to say, ‘hey, we need to focus on some other things that are more important than winning a football game,’” Labrum told the Deseret News. “We got an emotional response from

the boys. I think it really meant something to them, which was nice to see that it does mean something.

There was none of them that fought us on it.”

After days of community service, most of Utah football team reinstated, just in time for the Cougars’ homecoming game. The coach is praised, not only by the community, but by the nation as a role-model teaching his players that there is more to football than getting wins.

Union High School head coach’s philosophy reminded me of Linfield’s head football coach, Joe Smith’s philosophy. In one of my earlier articles this year, I wrote about what makes

overall standings.

Linfield’s first game against George Fox was a close one, but the ’Cats managed to come out on top with a late second half goal scored by freshman Nicholas Autencio, his third score of the season.

Freshman keeper Jorge Rodriguez managed to block five shots, only allowing one to get past him.

Linfield took 17 shots on

goal against George Fox’s 18, but the extra shot for George Fox wasn’t enough to come back against Linfield’s stellar defense.

Playing against Pacific, Linfield managed to win by two with the final score being 3-1. They score one of their goals in the first half and two in the second.

Senior Jake Baker started the Wildcats off scoring their first goal around the 25 min-

ute mark coming from a penalty kick. That goal gave him three on the year.

Sophomore Ivan Colin scored his first goal of the season in the second half.

After three shots, he finally managed to find the back of the net coming off of an assist by freshman Eric Conte, who passed the ball back to set him up.

Linfield’s third goal of the game came from a similar

play. Sophomore Domenico Del Prete set up freshman Brian Degrandmont, who scored his fourth goal of the year. Degrandmont now leads the team in scores.

Rodriguez had another fantastic game against Pacific, recording eight saves.

Junior keeper Grant Loriaux made an amazing save in the end of the game when he subbed in for Rodriguez.

He saved a penalty kick from

a successful team. Coach Smith explained to me about the four pillars that helps make a team successful: team, excellence, attitude and class. Coach Smith also emphasizes that “If the team fails, it is always a combined product of every member of that team.”

So in retrospect, the suspension of the football team at Union High school was an example of a coach’s tough love towards his players in order to teach them a life lesson which can be implemented not only on the field but throughout their adult lives.

Men’s soccer breaks losing streak with two wins Drew Mahrt Senior sports editor The Wildcats men’s soccer team played against the Pacific University Boxers and got their second win in a row on Oct. 6, their first coming against the George Fox University Bruins on Oct. 5.

These two wins helped push the team above .500, as they now stand at 5-4-1, pushing them up to fifth in

about 20 yards out, just barely getting a finger on the ball to deflect it away.

Linfield plays their next game against Willamette University at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 12. The game will be an away, as they will be playing in Salem, Ore.

’Cats celebrate Homecoming with a win Stephanie Hofmann Sports editor The still undefeated football team shut out the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes 29-0, on Oct. 5.

The ’Cats faced the long-time rivals the Lutes for Linfield’s homecoming game. This is the longest winning streak that either of the teams have had with 13 straight wins for the Wildcats starting all the way in 2003. The team also tied there past largest margin of victory and this is

the 39 win out of 64 games against the Pacific Lutherans.

“Anytime you play a team with a history you have to look at their team’s continuity,” head coach Joe Smith said. “After playing them for so many years it can almost bring back too much information. It creates an interesting schematic guessing game.”

Before the game had taken place, the Lutes were set at 11th in the nation with Linfield going ahead at second place. Still any game between a team

in the top-15 is sure to be a game changer.

“There was definitely a lot of pressure riding on this game, but not necessarily because it was homecoming weekend,” sophomore Brian Balsiger said in an email. “The pressure came from facing an elite conference team contending for a conference title. If there was ever a game to get excited about it was this one.”

The game started in a tug-of-war competitions with both sides getting their turn with the ball, before senior

Josh Hill ran it into the end zone with 24 seconds to spare. After that, no other points were scored until the forth quarter where Linfield gain its final 22 points. The offense constantly pushed forward and was only tripped up by fluke mistakes and a few penalties.

“The offense came through when it mattered,” senior Kyle Wright said in an email. “PLU’s defensive scheme is tough to block and to sustain drives >> Please see Football page 13

Women’s soccer remains conference leaders Drew Mahrt Senior sports reporter The Linfield Wildcats women’s soccer team played against the Willamette University Bearcats on Oct. 6 bringing home their ninth win of the year, defeating the Bearcats 4-1.

They split their goals evenly throughout the game, scoring two in the first half and two in the second.

It was senior Emily Fellows who got the team started about 20 minutes into the game with an unassisted goal, finding a wide open net when the ball came her way after a deflection. That was Fellows’ 11th goal of the season.

Linfield’s second goal came shortly after off the foot of freshman Kendra McSheridan, her first of the year. This was another goal that was caused by the Bearcats keeper, as she dropped a corner kick right at the feet of McSheridan who found the back of the net.

Linfield’s third and fourth goals came from junior Ellie Schmidt, off of an assist by Fellows and senior Sara Miller, her second, which was an unassisted score that took a bounce off of the post before finding its way into the goal.

Willamette did try to come back in the end, but it was far too late.

They scored their one and only goal of the game on a midfield boot that flew over the Linfield keepers head.

Linfield had an astounding 20 shots, 11 on goal, in comparison to Willamette’s four. Their defense
