Linfield College

Closest game of the season ends with a Linfield victory over Pacific University, 28 to 22

As fall turns to winter, we notice a few more guests on campus. No, not prospective students or visiting lectors, smaller guest who tend to bug people. Fruit flies. There have been serval complaints made by residents in the Hewlett-Packard apartments of having fruit flies occupying their living spaces. Environmental Services Super-

intendent, Tim Stewart, says that fruit flies are not uncommon at this time in the season. “They’re common, especially at this fall transition time, this is when we’re getting hit hardest, always have, not just us at Linfield but the whole area and so their very prevalent right now,” Stewart said. “With such a mild launch into our winter, they are really prolific right now.” While the fruit flies maybe sticking around the area for the time being, there are steps that students

can take to prevent or get rid of the fruit flies. The first thing students should do is put in a work order, said Director of Facilities and Auxiliary Services, Allison Horn. “There are some things you can do on your own, but if you need experts to come, you should put in a work order,” Horn said. Javier Mendoza, Cleaning Services Supervisor, is the expert in facilities services who deals with any pest problems on campus.

“The first thing you should do is take the trash out, that the most important in,” Mendoza said. Mendoza also touches on the importance of also tending to the recycling. As the Linfield campus works to become greener, it is also important to remember to rinse recyclables so they don’t attract flies. >> Please see Flies page 6

Car share means not having to own vehicle Olivia Marovich New editor Linfield’s U Car Share program gives students an affordable alternative to having their own car on campus. The only problem is most students have never heard of it. Established in 2011 the U Car Share program is a branch of U-Haul Rentals and offers students the use of either a 2012

Ford Focus, or a Toyota Hybrid 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students can set up a payment plan during the online registration process, accessed at ucarshare.com. The cost is $4.95 an hour or $62 a day and includes gas. Cars can be reserved on the Linfield page of the U Car Share website or through the new mobile app, “UCarShare” for students who are already registered.

“I have a car on campus, but it’s always hard to find a spot to park, especially by the HP’s where I live,” junior Megan Beach said. “It would be great to have the option of taking a car that I knew I wouldn’t have to search for a spot to park.” “There are two parking spots over by the Withnell Commons that Linfield sponsors,” said senior and Campus Brand Manager for the U Car Share Program

Robin Fahy. “This means you don’t have to fight for a parking spot either.” The car share program is another way that Linfield promotes a green and sustainable campus environment. Students can carpool with these vehicles to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. >> Please see Car Share page 4
