It wasn’t just the Linfield athletics competing this weekend.

The Wildcats also sent five groups of students to compete at the annual International Collegiate Programming Contest on Nov. 2 and 3 in Newberg, Ore. One Linfield group earned the site championship for the first time.

The Linfield team, made up by seniors Graham Romero and Guy Neill and junior Amanda Gibbon, competed against 112 other teams, and were the only group on the Oregon site to solve five problems. They finished 20th overall.

“For the competition, there were 13 different problems given to be solved all varying in difficulty,” Gibbon said in an email.

“This year's theme for the problems was Star Trek. One problem that we solved was called 'Enterprising Escape' and we had to figure out how long it would take for the Enterprise to escape from different classes of Klingon ships depending on the Enterprise's position among them.”

“The goal of the competition is to solve as many problems as possible in the shortest amount of time. There is a 20 minute penalty for each incorrect submission,” Gibbon said. “They give you balloon for every problem you solve and it feels really good to look around and see that your team has the most balloons.”

Other teams competing included the University of Oregon, University of Portland and Lewis & Clark College.

The students competing had many weeks and weekends of training to prepare for the competition. >> Please see Computer page 6

Effect of literature in the WWII trenches Rosa Johnson Copy editor While the English department was hosting its annual undergraduate literature conference on Nov. 1, guest speakers attended and lectured for the event.

One of which is the Instructor of Composition and Literature for Portland Community College.

Nicholas Hengen Fox spoke in honor of this year’s Program for Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement with the theme of “Legacies

of War” in mind with his lecture, “Reading & Weeping: Books in the Trenches During World War II.” Fox discussed soldiers’ emotional effects by pocket novels they received from the Council on Books and Wartime.

The CBW provided stories that were approved by the army for soldiers to read during service.

This publishing movement resulted in the paperback boom during the war. Armed Service Editions, which are smaller and portable

books, were popularized and easier for soldiers to take into battle.

“Books went everywhere and soldiers acted positively,” Fox said. Popular titles such as “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald and “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” by Betty Smith were a part of the post-war counterculture that soldiers were able to indulge in.

Fox read fan mail that authors received and analyzed the letters. Delving into how readers interpret stories personally Fox examines one case, a military

man named Davis Clifton. Clifton read Smith’s novel and wrote the author an emotional response, “[Clifton is] a zombie that feels joy and gratitude, it’s an emotional transformation,” Fox said.

Fox said that according to a study, those who read literature are able to understand people better. With Fox’s focus on the idea of self-expression that contradicts the stereotypes of men in the mili>> Please see Reading page 6

Students give back during Halloween We all know how the stereotypical college Halloween goes, from the skimpy costumes to the spooky parties.

However, Linfield has proven—yet again—to go beyond this typical college stereotype and instead use this holiday as an opportunity to join together and give back to the McMinnville community.

Christmas is no longer the only giving season.

Linfield students give back and donate to the community on this holiday as well.

This Halloween, like the many ones before it, students went out of their way to be charitable volunteers, and it should be recognized.

For example, Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Si Delta organized a haunted house on Oct. 25.

The entrance fee was either three dollars or two cans of food.

The money was donated to the Henderson House and the food donations went to the Yamhill Community Action Partnership.

This is an annual event that shows a perfect way to combine the Halloween spirit and the spirit of giving.

Another great event the school hosts annually is the trick-or-treat tour on campus, during which local children sign up to go trick-or-treating through the dorms on Oct. 31.

This is a great chance for students to interact and get involved in the community.

It is also a great chance to show the community as

a whole that Linfield students care for more than just themselves.

Seeing students give back on a holiday that is primarily known for its partying and pranks shows how truly dedicated students at Linfield are.

We hope that this trend continues and the season of giving is no longer just during Christmas, but instead year round. If anyone could do this, it is Linfield students.

TRAVEL

Media influences American stereotypes It was 3 a.m. in Paris and a deep-voiced woman in knee-high leather boots was whispering in my ear at the bar.

“You’re American?” She asked, making the “can” sound like “cain” in that very French way. “Have you ever read ‘50 Shades of Grey?’”

Now, I may just look like the kind of person who enjoys novels about sadomasochism—I don’t, for the record—but I couldn’t help but wonder about the first part of the question.

What did my being American have to do with it?

How is America viewed by the international community based on the media we produce?

And more generally, how do we compartmentalize different groups of people because of how the media tells us to see them?

The United States is the second largest producer of films worldwide, after India’s Bollywood, and the

Olivia Marovich News editor vast majority of popular music artists are from the U.S. or U.K. This overwhelming amount of media means our country has a lot of influence over what people locally and internationally are watching.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” as much as the next person—that’s actually true; I really, really like that show—but what I don’t like is the potential for our country to fall into a American stereotype based on our media.

I mean, are we all seen as over-weight, over-sexed gun-loving flag-wavers?

America has its faults, and trust me, I acknowledge them, but it seems harsh to judge us all in such broad strokes. The most common questions I received about my home country while abroad were about guns.

Who did I know that owned a gun, do I own one, who do I know who had been shot? I’ve never even held a gun, and while some of my friends have, none of them have ever been hurt by one.

Poor little suburban white girl, right?

I don’t use this example to show you how mean Europeans are by labeling me as a violent American, but to show the dangers of allowing media to inform us about other social groups.

Stereotyping can run rampant in a world where most of our information is entertainment and people make assumptions about others based purely on the ideas someone else put in their head.

America definitely has

a fascination with violent media. I think the clearest example is in the reversecensorship of “A Clockwork Orange,” a novel by the British Anthony Burgess written in 1962.

When Burgess brought it to an American publishing house he was convinced to omit the last chapter, when the main character see’s the error of his ways and gives up his life of crime.

Boring, right? That’s what the publishers thought, and the novel was distributed in America with an ending that left the protagonist reveling in his wanton ways.

The film inspired a movie

by Stanley Kubrick and created a cultural phenomenon that, when interpreted by some, seems to glorify rape, robbery and murder.

I’m not saying that films like “A Clockwork Orange” should be banned or censored.

But I think it’s telling that even 51 years ago Americans were thought of as a violence-loving people.

Our media has only become more bloody in the years since then and there is no way to say that this level of violence doesn’t have an effect on us.

The point is, however, individuals are more than just the sum of our parts. I can like “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and both versions of “A Clockwork Orange” and still be an American.

In that same way people from all different countries and all different areas of the world can have their own unique personalities.

I think if we all made an effort to be more conscious about how we allow media to influence us, we would all be a little bit less like the French woman who labeled me as an American sexfreak.

“No I haven’t,” I responded, taking a sip from my drink. “But have you read the latest Nicholas Sparks?

Now there is a writer worth discussing.”

MUSIC

Social movements are apparent in music Political Movements take many forms. Political movements form to respond or originate from something popular that has been occurring for centuries.

This form is demonstrated through a piece of musical composition that a composer or artist writes that is intended to spark interest in a topic or is in response to a political action.

There are countless examples of this in all genres of musical literature.

An example in today’s music industry is the release of Jay Z’s latest album, “Magna Carta Holy

Jonathan Williams Opinion editor Grail” one of the most popular tracks “Holy Grail,” that features Justin Timberlake, is encoded with many messages.

It discusses the challenges of fame that all celebrities face.

Jay Z mentions Mike Tyson and M.C. Hammer in

his song lyrics as two examples of what the media and fame have done to them.

Kanye West, and his hit song in collaboration with Jay Z, “No Church in the Wild” is another example of the power of lyrics.

This song challenges traditional views of religious worship.

Though rap is sometimes looked at as the “low brow” end of music, the lyrics in songs are thought out and powerful.

The Beatles culture brought about and contributed to the civil rights and teenage rebellion seen in the 1960s- to 70s.

They were not socially accepted in the United States when they first became popular but overtime began to be one the most popular bands of the century.

In today’s music scene, people don’t tend to associate political and social beliefs to the compositions of classical composer such as Beethoven and Sibelius.

Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture was written for Heinrich Joseph von Collin’s tragedy, titled “Coriolan.” Gaius Marcius Coriolanus Coriolan was an ancient Roman leader.

Often classical compos-

ers were commissioned to write works for political figures and monarchies.

Sibelius’s Overture “Scenes historiques I, Opus 25” is a composition reflecting the turbulent history of Finland.

In her article, Glenda Gloss argues that this work

by Sibelius was written in a “time when Finland was an autonomous Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire”.

“As the Finns ‘awakened’ politically, their artistic life flourished in reciprocal fashion,” Gloss said in the article Jean Sibelius and Finland’s Awakening. Gloss is a professor of

music history at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.

There are many views and ideas expressed through music. Some are hundreds of years old while others are in response to pop culture today.

It is important for audiences today to understand and appreciate the significance of lyrics and compositions from today’s music and older music to understand the ideas and messages the artist or composer is presenting.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability class to be offered during Jan Term Alaire Hughey Office of Sustainability Hiking, kayaking, gardening, foraging, tracking, and natural art: sounds like the stuff that only exists in the dreams of a college student, laden with finals and too much homework.

False.

This January, Sustainability Coordinator Duncan Reid will be teaching an ENVS 298 course entitled “Local Stewardship” that will include all of the above.

Class will be held off campus at Westwind, a 529-acre wilderness area situated in the Salmon River estuary on the Oregon Coast.

Students will be housed in a hostel-like lodge that lies at the foot of the Coast Range, nestled into an old pine and spruce forest.

According to Reid, this gorgeous reserve “evokes an irrepressible impulse for stewardship.” And that is exactly what he intends to teach.

Through hands-on projects and lectures taught by experts such as Lissa Wadewitz, Ned Knight, Joe Wilkins, and professionals from Trackers Northwest.

Students on this Jan Term trip will learn environmental, social, and personal stewardship.

What is stewardship, you ask?

In the eyes of Reid, it is “a capacity of caring that is contained within the context of the well-being of the whole.”

This idea is absolutely crucial in a world of environmental and social disconnection, and is necessary for any sustainable community.

This month-long course will give students the oppor-

tunity to find a real connection with place, community, and self on a deeper level than is traditionally explored.

This investigation will come through their experience based adventures as well as the study of coastal ecology, native plant identification, group dynamics, nature writing, local history, and connection with native cultures.

This class will take a holistic approach to inspiring and practicing stewardship, while appealing to a variety of senses, learning styles, and qualities of being.

The activities of the course will challenge group and individual goals and ideals for resilience and sustainability.

Prerequisites?

Enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and a little thick skin through the Oregon Coast wetness. Reid invites those “already interested and passionate about sustainability and stewardship, as well as students who are just exploring their interest, especially international and first year students.”

This course will give students of all backgrounds and majors a new lens in which to view the world and a new way to relate to their human and non-human communities.

Just to sweeten the deal, this domestic travel course only costs $2050, including room, board, and transportation. If you’re interested, you can register on Webadvisor from Nov. 4-7.

Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to explore the values and ideas of stewardship on the wild sands of Westwind.

EDUCATION

Four year plan changes every year

In front of me is a planner, course catalogue, my laptop with the spring schedule open and an ever growing list of things that I have to take in order to graduate.

As a freshman, this is quite overwhelming. Not only is Linfield asking me to plan out my next four years but I might not want to do anything close to what I’m studying now. At this point, I don’t even know what my weekend plans are.

When I came to campus a week before school started, it seemed that everyone and their adviser were celebrating the people who didn’t know what they wanted to major in. Advisers would tell their pupils it was a good thing that they had no idea, because they could do anything they wanted to find their passion.

Then the faculty would suddenly throw the statistic at you that the average college student changes their major approximately three times.

Stephanie Hofmann Sports editor Sure, this may comfort those who came into the whole college experience with some questions, but it instantly petrified me. What if I was one of those people who did not know what they were doing?

For all anyone else knew, I just hid it really well behind a fake major. After what seemed like hours of people assuring me that I was fine, I still had my doubts, but I was willing to continue on. That was until one day in Colloquium when they told us about the “fun” new assignment called

the four year plan. Being an overachiever, I decided to get a head start on it that night— this was a mistake. I began to highlight what felt like half of the catalogue, panicking over not knowing what would be offered every year and trying everything in my power not to take science classes. This could only equal distress.

That’s what I get for trying to be productive.

I know that I’m not the only one who does this. Every day I see people in my dorm running up and down the halls asking what people thought about the class that they are in or asking if they know any easy upper level classes, which seems quite contradicting.

Slowly, you see everyone question if they even want to be in their chosen major or enrolled in college at all. It’s like the speakers in the beginning of the year knew all the freshman were going to be

freaking out this semester so they told us ahead of time that we would survive.

Looking down at my four year plan, completed to the “T” with question marks and spaces that say “put whatever Linfield Curriculum course is available here,” I wonder if this is really actually helping anyone.

Now I don’t feel like I do not have any idea what I’m going to do over the next couple of years, but I also don’t feel like I have it all figured out either.

As I talk to upper classmen about what they did with their plan they usually respond with “I should find that” or “I changed it completely the next semester.”

So I guess we don’t have to figure it all out right now, because it seems like it’s going to change tomorrow anyway.

Upcoming student talk on summer spent in Peru Ryan Morgan Senior reporter

A student will be speaking about his summer experience in Peru, where he worked to make more plantbased medicines available at local pharmacies.

The project was led by Linfield Tom Love, professor of anthropology, and director of the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California Berkeley, Doug Sharon.

“I was studying abroad in Ecuador during spring semester and was looking for an opportunity to stay in South America longer, and this [project] gave me that chance,” senior Sam Gauksheim said in an email.

Gauksheim studied medicinal plants and their use in Peru’s health care system by talking with doctors and other medical professionals.

“We [were] working to establish a supply line of medicinal plants from the mountains where they are grown down to the coast where I lived,” Gauksheim said in an email. “The goal is to make more plants available to patients at the pharmacy in the clinic, while

promoting sustainable farming practices and hopefully creating an income for the people growing them.”

Gauksheim spent seven months in Peru and experienced some of the Peruvian traditional medicines.

“My host mother often treated me with teas of different herbs she bought or harvested from our back yard,” Gauksheim said in an email. “I am a true believer that these plants can be used to decrease people’s dependence on pharmaceuticals.”

“If people have been using them for hundreds of years to cure their ailments, then why should we stop now?” Gauksheim said in an email.

Peru has a decentralized health care system. The largest provider, Peru’s Ministry of Health, provides for 60 percent of the population. A variety of other smaller providers provide the remaining population. This system is left with a high degree of overlap and a lack of coordination according to the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization attributes Peru’s growing demand for alternative medicines on Peru’s poor health care system.

Photo courtesy of Sam Gauksheim Gauksheim lived with his host family for five months in the town of Trujillo, Peru. He also went to a hostel where he worked on an ongoing project headed by Professor Tom Love and director of the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California Berkeley Dr. Doug Sharon.

Gauksheim will address the use of traditional medicine in the public health sector of Peru.

“Having the opportunity to stay in South America for

another couple months made me realize that much more how important culture is in our world,” Gauksheim said in an email.

“Many people couldn’t

story,” Paddock said in an email.

The lecture relates to this year’s PLACE theme of “Legacies of War.” Paddock said, “‘Taps’ is a song of remembrance that has come out of war— it was born to commemorate and honor the fallen.”

Paddock expects a strong emotional response to her presentation.

“The audience for the lecture will learn about the history of ‘Taps’ including anecdotes; strong emotion may be evoked by audience members w h e n understanding what is the meaning of ‘Taps’ and for whom it Paddock is sounded. Those present at the lecture will learn of the significance of ‘Taps’—what it means to veterans, to their families, and to Americans in general,” Paddock said.

Breen will present her findings in the field of collaborative learning.

“This faculty lecture will review the findings of a qualitative study using transcript analysis to clarify the value of Online Collaborative Learning Theory as a way to assess collaborative discourse in online

courses,” Breen said in an email.

Breen commented on the results of her study: “The findings of this study support the use of the phases of the theory as a framework for assessing online collaborative discourse.

“The lecture will focus on the philosophy underlying the theory, findings and recommendations for teaching,” Breen said in an email.

Breen noted the importance of a distinction between cooperative work and collaborative work, and said in an email, “Collaborative work is more difficult to achieve.”

S h e stated Breen her lecture’s application to students, saying in an email, “It is important to evaluate the student's ability to collaborate to prepare them for today's workforce.

Collaborative discourse can lead to quality individual work as well as group work.”

The “Cat Talk” trio faculty lecture will be held at 7 p.m. on Nov. 6 in Riley Hall room 201.

imagine living in another country where they don’t speak ‘our’ language, but it was honestly the most important part of my time here at Linfield,” Gauksheim

Professors to present research at Cat Talk Plane crashes Helen Lee Photo editor Three Linfield College professors will give lectures presenting their research in an upcoming “Cat Talk.”

Professor and chair of psychology Tanya Tompkins, professor of music Joan Haaland Paddock, and assistant professor of nursing Henny Breen, will discuss findings from each of their research projects.

Tompkins’s lecture will feature information from a pilot study she conducted on 80 undergraduates.

“The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a humanizing approach that incorporates video-based contact and perspective taking in reducing stigma toward transgendered (TG) individuals,” Tompkins said in an email.

The study participants were divided into two groups, either the “humanizing condition” or the “education-only” condition.

“Participants in the humanizing condition evidenced less transprejudice and a greater desire for social contact following the intervention, whereas those in the education-only condition showed no significant change,” Tompkins said in an email.

Tompkins cites the pilot study as an opportunity to inform her teaching.

“As someone who teach-

es about the TG experience in both my introductory course and seminar course in abnormal psychology, I worry about how best to convey information in a way that recognizes that TG individuals who experience profound gender dysphoria can be categorized as suffering from a mental health disorder without overpathologizing gender variance in a way that heightens stigma,” Tompkins said in an email.

Paddock’s talk will include information on the origin of “ Ta p s ” as well as a performance of the song the way it was played 150 years Tompkins ago during the Civil War. Paddock’s presentation is titled “‘Taps,’ The National Song of Remembrance: A Short History of America’s Most Famous Bugle Call.” “‘Taps’ is the song of remembrance for soldiers who have given their lives in the line of duty in war.

“There are only 24 notes in this song that stirs the souls of comrades and family and friends who remain.

I will speak of the history of ‘Taps,’ how it evolved, and some of the stories which are more mythical than true

into McMinnville home, pilot dies Olivia Marovich News editor

A kit plane flew into a McMinnville house on Oct. 28 and resulted in fatality for the pilot, though no one else was injured.

The crash occurred around 1:25 p.m. The woman who owns the home on 22nd Street received no injuries and neither did her pets. Even though she was only three feet from the site of impact when it occurred, according to the McMinnville News Register.

The homeowner has chosen to remain anonymous.

The only damage besides the plane wreckage was to the roof and garage of the home.

When authorities arrived on the scene the pilot, 56-year-old Sheridan resident Charles W. Yochelson was pronounced dead.

The crash is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Association and the National Transport Safety Board.

Communications & Media Relations Manager and FAA Northwest Mountain & Alaska Regions Representative Allen Kenitzer said on Oct. 30 that the NTSB was taking the lead on investigating the cause or causes for the crash.

Kenitzer said that the

NTSB posts a preliminary report on their website within a week or two of the accident, but it can take months to discover the probable cause of an accident.

“Accidents do happen, sometimes they are avoidable and sometimes not,” said Linfield junior and licensed pilot J.B. Lange. “I would guess that the pilot might have been having trouble with his landing gear but it’s unclear. The true cause may never be known.”

The plane was a Lancair brand, single-engine aircraft.

The model is a Lancair 0-235 and is classified as experimental by the FAA. The Lancair company website had no information about the crash as of Nov. 3.

Lange heard about the crash on Tuesday Oct. 29 early in the morning. Lange flies planes of similar size here in McMinnville although the planes he flies are structurally different from the kit plane involved in the accident.

“The difference is like buying a car from the dealership or buying the pieces of the car and assembling it yourself,” Lange said. “A kit plane is something you buy and make yourself.”

Spooky fun held on Halloween for students Olivia Marovich News editor The first Hallow Fest, hosted by LAB and the Hawaiian Club, provided students a place to have safe fun on Halloween.

Hawaiian Club is known for hosting the annual Lu’au at the end of the year, but the club has planned more frequent service events during the year in addition to Lu’au.

“This is our first year

with a formal executive board,” Hawaiian Club President and senior Mariah Torres said. “With everyone’s help and ideas we’ve been able to plan this event and other service events, club activities and member bonding experiences.”

The proceeds of the event went to the club, which will use part of the money to plan a Thanksgiving dinner for the members who cannot fly home for the week-long holiday.

“I’ll have stayed in McMinnville for all four Thanksgivings I’ve attended Linfield,” senior Ashley Kimi said. “It will be nice to have a group dinner since I’m not going home for the holiday.”

Most members of Hawaiian Club are from Hawaii, which makes the club a great place for students far from home to find support for homesickness.

“I love Hawaiian Club, and I can use it as a resource

for knowing what clothes to wear in this weather and where to get food from home,” freshman Lauren Seki said.

Hawaiian Club is not exclusively for Hawaiian students, however. According to Torres, students who aren’t from the islands are welcome to join.

“It’s a great way to learn about a new culture and meet new friends,” Torres said.

Hallow Fest, held in the

upper gym, included a costume contest won by sophomore Jordan Gardner who dressed as a jester. She won a bag of Milky Ways and a ribbon.

Also the film “Hocus Pocus” played.

Other activities included trick-or-treat bag decorating, a touch-and-feel station, face painting and a caramel apple bar.

A fuse was blown early in the evening, but eventually power was restored

and orange cotton candy and popcorn was available to students.

Though mostly students attended the event, it was open to the public and appropriate for children.

The club plans to host the event again next year.

“Our mission is to spread aloha through Linfield and we hope with more interactive events we’ll be able to do that,” Torres said.

Bands prep for Civil War, Veterans Day concert YuCheng Zhang Senior photographer

Two area bands will present a concert commemorating the Civil War and America’s veterans.

The Linfield College Concert Band and Second Winds Community Band will present “Legacies of War: Echoes of the 1860s- Civil War Music and Veterans Day Concert.”

Joan Paddock, professor of music, talked about the background and preparation of this concert.

“Mark Williams, the Second Winds Community Band director, and I, have worked since this last summer on planning the program, which began with the idea and the date which is the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln.

“We know we wanted to address Civil War. Also, Linfield College is involved with PLACE Program (Pro-

It is a perfect timing. It never happened that the students and

Second Winds have combined to be a full band altogether. It is a true collaboration. Also, Mark Williams has invited Mike Donahue, who is the retired news anchor of KOINTV, he is going to be our narrator throughout the whole program.”

Paddock wishes that the

students in band could learn from this experience.

“I want my students in the band to learn the repertoire and become better players through the process of learning the pieces and understand how the music was being constructed, why is so exciting,” Paddock said.

Paddock expanded on her thoughts about what the audience should take away from the event.

“I want to bring students and audiences the music in this time period and the history background. Also, we are honoring our community’s veterans,” Paddock said.

“Our program will bring great beauty of music and challenge people to think what it means to given one’s life to this country, and what it means to serve whether we agree with war or not.”

Students agree that it is important for Linfield to be involved with the McMinnville Community.

“Often times, I feel like there is a huge disconnect between the college and the McMinnville community, as we tend to stick to our little Linfield bubble and engage ourselves only with what we know,” junior Malley Nason said. “This concert has been such a great way to combine the personalities and talents of the community members and college students and I am so very grateful for the entire experience.”

The Linfield College Concert Band and Second Winds Community Band will present “Legacies of War: Echoes of the 1860s- Civil War Music and Veterans Day Concert” on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 3 p.m. in the McMinnville Community Center.

The Linfield teams have improved since last years competition.

Linfield’s first team earned second place back in the 2012 after completing three problems, and they earned 33rd overall.

While the Linfield’s

team earned first, George Fox University took the award of best college at the Oregon site, out scoring the Wildcats by one problem.

The Bruins finished 19 problems, averaging 107 minutes per problem, while the Wildcats only averaged 75 minutes per problem and they finished 18 problems.

“The rest of the Linfield teams did really well too,” Gibbon said. “Every team solved at least three problems and in total we all solved 18 problems which is the best Linfield has ever done.”

International, exchange students adjust to Linfield

Nohheon Park

Sophomore Nohheon Park studied at a university in the middle of Seoul, South Korea. He decided to study at Linfield for two semesters because he wanted to experience somewhere different from his university back at home.

“I also wanted to experience small classes,” said Park, who is a business major. “The biggest class that I am taking has 14 students. The major classes in Korea have at least 70.”

Park is happy that the professors here at Linfield

know his name, because in his university in Korea, professors teach about three classes a day, each with 70 or more students.

“I also wanted it to be a private school not a public school,” Park said about his decision to attend Linfield.

A senior at his university had also studied abroad at Linfield and recommended it to Park.

“He said that Linfield was good,” Park said, “that it was a small college, and the people were kind.”

Linfield isn’t the first place that freshman Xiochuan “Amanda” Ma has studied abroad.

She attended a public school in Minnesota and a Catholic private school Wisconsin her junior and senior year respectively.

Ma was born in China and lived in the city of Jinan before studying abroad.

She chose Linfield College during her senior year in Wisconsin because she’d heard about it from a family friend.

The financial aid here at Lin-

field also made it an easy choice.

“I was just like why not,” Ma said about her decision to attend Linfield, “since I was already familiar with the educational system here.”

Ma enjoys the liberal atmosphere that the Northwest has to offer.

At her Catholic private school in Wisconsin, she attended mass with the rest of the class. At Linfield, there are no religious obligations.

After this year, Park will return to South Korea and finish his schooling.

“[Americans] don’t say everything,” van’t Hoff said. “In Holland, my friends said everything that came into their minds, all the stupid things. Here, they’re more careful in what they say.”

Van’t Hoff only has a visa that will allow him to stay in the United States for a year, but he is planning to apply to scholarships in order to be able to study at Linfield next year.

Stian Melheim

For senior Stian Melheim, also known as Steve, this is his last year in college. He came to study abroad at Linfield from Norway.

“I chose the U.S. because people here are open-minded and interested in each other,” Melheim said. “In my home, people aren’t nearly as social.”

Melheim also explained that he did not face much of a cultural shock, having learned about the United

mer by returning to China with her family.

With the experience from her time abroad it made her used to living in the United States.

“It’s hard to go back to China,” Ma said.

Ma finds time zones in the United States interesting because China has one time zone based on its capital city, Beijing.

“I have a friend in Florida,” Ma said, “and even in the same country it is two hours of time difference.”

This is van’t Hoff’s first year in college and he still isn’t sure what he wants to study. Although he has a few classes he has found interesting.

Culturally, van’t Hoff has noticed a difference in how friends communicate here compared to Holland.

The hardest task Melheim had to confront quickly became all the homework he has received from classes here.

“In college in Norway, you don’t do homework.

Most of the courses just have finals,” Melheim said. “I hadn’t done homework since 2006.

You sort of have to do it in a specific way. Mostly, it’s the whole time manage-

ment thing. It might be easier for someone who is a first year in college.”

This summer, when Melheim graduates he plans to move back to Norway. Melheim is still unsure of what he will do after school.

“I will probably try to find a job,” Melheim said.

“I might go for a masters later, but I want to get an income first.”

The Observatory The second-oldest building on campus withstands the challenges of time Gilberto Galvez/Features editor

B

uilt in 1882, Pioneer Hall has led a continued reign as the oldest building on campus. But the second-oldest building has faced the threat of demolition a few times and has also been moved to different locations around campus.

The Observatory, built in 1883-1844, now stands

near Withnell Commons. The Observatory has a long history along with different reincarnations, from an actual observatory to a convenience store to a place for student bands to practice.

“The money for the construction [of the Observatory] came from A.W. Kinney who was an early member of the Board of Trustees and helped raise money for

Pioneer Hall also,” said Rich Schmidt, director of resource sharing. “The original cost was $2,500.”

For the first years of its life, the Observatory served its original astronomical purpose. Its initial location was in what is now called the Quad where a majority of the academic buildings are. The move to its current home on the off side of campus oc-

curred after a student protest saved it from demolition in the early 1960s.

“Its location has moved several times,” said Allison Horn, director of auxiliary services. “Legend has it that one of the moves involved the entire football team to move it from one place to the other.”

A thesis essay by Katherine Pitman-Huit, a 1988 alumna,

ures said that the Observatory was pulled by hand and placed on top of a trucking platform, under this were rolling logs that transported the building.

If the Observatory had been demolished, the telescope would have been integrated into Graf Hall.

Though the protests kept the Observatory from being demolished, the telescope was still put into storage.

“It remained a working observatory until 2001, when it underwent a renovation and the telescope was removed,” Horn said.

“It has served a number of purposes over the years, from a convenience store to its current use as a music practice place for students.”

The telescope was removed because of light

pollution from McMinnville and other cities.

The brightness made the stars difficult to see, but any attempts to demolish it have failed.

“The students protested—mainly through The [Linfield] Review— feeling that it should be preserved for its historical value, since it was the second-oldest building on campus and both a popular spot for students and a unique thing for a small Baptist college in McMinnville to have,” Schmidt said.

In its current reincarnation, the Observatory serves as a place for student bands to practice.

“The key for [the Observatory] can be checked out from the library circulation desk after a bit of paperwork. It has

allowed student bands a place to practice and not disturb their neighbors on campus. The college had a need for all of the student bands on campus to have a place that they could practice about five years ago and the Observatory was identified as that space. A good deal of amazing music has been the direct results of that space for students,” said Dan Fergueson, director of college activities.

There aren’t too many plans for the Observatory in the future, but it seems to be doing well as it is. Fergueson has heard a few things about it becoming home for the Stainability Club but nothing is concrete with the Observatory.

Play reflects effects of war Mariah Gonzales Culture editor “Ajax in Iraq” is a production that reflects the universal issues soldiers face in relation to war.

The play will run Thursday and Saturday on Nov. 7-9 and 14-16 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. at the Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall.

The play takes Greek hero and soldier, Ajax along with a modern day female soldier, A.J. Together it tells the similar narratives of the two characters’ stories through art and song.

The characters’ each go through a betrayal of a respected person in their lives and turn against their own armies.

During the play Athena, who is the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, presides over the play exploring the challenges the characters face in understanding war.

Some of the dialogues from the production have the exact words from interviews that the playwright conducted with Iraq war veterans. “[The play] raises issues about veterans and issues about women in the military,” said Associate Professor of Theatre Arts, Janet Gupton. “[And also] some of the struggles that all soldiers face when they are asked to fight for their country.”

There will also be two different post-show discussions held on Thursday Nov. 7 and 14 that are free of charge for admission and open to the public.

The discussion “Women and the Military: Serving in Uniform or Supporting at Home” on Nov. 7 looks at the struggles women face as soldiers or wives of men in the military.

The talk “Veterans: Serving Those Who have Served Us” is about the challenges that soldiers face returning home.

The production is part of Linfield’s Program for Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement Initiative.

The PLACE Initiative’s general theme for the 2013 and 2014 year is “Legacies of War.” The play is sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Communication.

The PLACE Initiative takes a general subject, like war, and integrates the different Linfield departments by having each department host or sponsor and event that engages the Linfield and McMinnville communities in the topic.

The Linfield Theatre’s first production earlier this year “Legacies of War” and this play is the department’s contribution to the PLACE Initiative’s general theme of war.

“This play presents an artistic view of war that asks different questions or presents [war] in a different way instead of reading a book about being a soldier in Iraq,” Gupton said.

In preparation for the production the cast and professors participated in militarylike activities to get a better understanding of what it is like to be a soldier and the

Including meeting women veterans, attending the Suzanne Opton exhibit in the Linfield Art Gallery that contains photographs soldiers and veterans and doing a four-night boot camp similar to the physical workouts to those of the military.

“The students and myself, as faculty, we’ve learned to put a human face on people in the military and try to understand what it is that they go through,” Gupton said.

“And hopefully [the play] will help to create empathy in what people go through in order to protect those who cannot protect themselves.”

‘Guggle’ creates curiosity, confusion around campus Mariah Gonzales Culture editor

Rosa Johnson/Copy editor “Guggle” was made by four art students. The creation has been placed at various campus locations.

Rosa Johnson/Copy editor It is encouraged that students interpret “Guggle” in their own way. Guggle’s meaning is not obvious.

Four students from Linfield’s arts and visual culture department created a figure called “Guggle.” Guggle looks like a big cigarette box, but what is the purpose of the art form?

Guggle has been placed at various spots around campus. And Linfield students have various opinions about Guggle.

“I saw it and it caught my eye but I had no idea what it was for. Cigarette disposal maybe?” junior Casey Thein wrote in an email.

“I thought it was a funny word, which is how it caught my attention, and it was on my mind randomly throughout the rest of the day,” sophomore Maria Gibbons said.

However, the creators of Guggle will not give away its purpose.

“Guggle is all about having fun,” one of the creators of Guggle junior Lionel Par-

ra said. “We as a group of aesthetically based artists are attempting to bring art outside of the pretentious, high brow art world and make art free and readily accessible to everyone.”

Parra even uses the term Guggle in the cartoons he creates for The Linfield Review.

Along with Parra, seniors Kate Straube, Alyssa Dykgraaf and freshman Douglas Sundman are also affiliated with the Guggle movement.

“The work does not need to be understood, it just needs to be experienced.

Guggle is the movement that drives this point. We make what we want, and you can draw your own conclusions,” Parra said.

Even though the significance of Guggle will remain unknown, it has a successfully received various impressions on campus.

Student fiddles her way to success Mariah Gonzales Culture editor

A Linfield nursing major won first place at the Oregon State Old Time Fiddlers Competition for the last two years in the young adult division.

Junior Tabitha Gholi has been playing the fiddle since the fifth grade and still enjoys it to this day.

Gholi also plays other instruments such as the classical violin, viola and the mandolin.

Gholi started getting into music in fourth grade when she began attending an after school curriculum called “The Strings Program.”

A year later, her current fiddle teacher Eileen Walter performed at Gholi’s elementary school along with backup guitar and bass.

“I was like oh my gosh, that is so cool. I want to do that,” Gholi said while reminiscing on her reaction of Walter’s performance.

“So I called [Walter] up and I started taking private lessons for the fiddle.”

Above all of her musical passions, Gholi’s favorite instrument to play is the fiddle.

“It’s just my thing. It is so much fun,” Gholi said. “I really get into [fiddling]. It’s my genre.”

Gholi travels around the nation participating in other solo and group competitions, including the National Old Time Fiddlers Competition in Weiser, Idaho.

Gholi placed seventh in the Young Adults division; along with these accomplishments she is active with the Linfield musical community.

Gholi also participated in the Linfield College Concerto Competition and received the opportunity to perform a solo piece with the Linfield Chamber Orchestra as accompaniment.

In 2012 Linfield alumna Jessie Goergen set up the band the Jessie Goergen Crew, Gholi currently fiddles for them. Gholi and Goergen often travel on the weekends to different bars and competition performances around Oregon.

Gholi joined Goergan’s band beginning summer 2013 after she played with the band during the opening of the Macklemore concert during Wildstock in 2012.

Gholi’s said that she hopes to make it into a nursing school in Nashville, Tenn., where she and the Jessie Goergen Crew plan to move to in attempt to “make it big,” as Gholi said.

The band recently won the Oregon State Texaco Coun-

A professor of philosophy from the University of Memphis will discuss research into replicating the experiences astronauts have in space.

Professor Shaun Gallagher will also discuss aesthetic, religious and spiritual experiences. In a lecture titled, “Exploring Inner Space in Outer Space,” Gallagher will discuss the results of a scientific study in which a research team used stimulation to replicate experiences of astronauts during space travel.

Recording the results of the study, astronauts described deeply aesthetic,

spiritual or religious experiences of awe and wonder.

Gallagher will also discuss his scientific approach to creating the desired experiences in a large number of subjects. The following evening, Gallagher will host another lecture, which will be geared more toward an academic audience.

In this second lecture, Gallagher will speak about the unusual effects that people experience through perceptual contact with the world. The lecture is titled: “Making Enactivism Even More Embodied.”

Gallagher’s areas of research include phenomenology and the cognitive sciences.

Gallagher is not only the Lillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Excellence in

Philosophy at the University of Memphis, he is also an honorary professor of philosophy at both Durham University in the United Kingdom and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

University of Copenhagen is the largest research institution in the country.

Gallagher was awarded the Anneliese Maier Research Award in 2012, a five-year Humboldt Fellowship.

The first lecture, “Exploring Inner Space in Outer Space,” is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7 in Jonasson Hall. “Making Enactivism Even More Embodied” is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Nov. 8 in Jonasson Hall.

‘A Clockwork Orange’ filled with ‘ultraviolence’ Paige Jurgensen Columnist Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novel, “A Clockwork Orange,” is highly controversial as the central character and narrator, Alex, greatly promotes random acts of violence, gang-rape and general anarchy.

Alex, a teenage boy, is the leader of a small gang of hoodlums, whom he fondly refers to as “droogs.”

In England where the droogs take part in nightly crime sprees, such as, but not limited to: robbery, rape and assault.

Alex is definitely a sadistic sociopath, if not

a psychopath, as he takes great pleasure in his acts of “ultra-violence.”

It seems that it is the only thing that he truly enjoys, other than classical music, specifically the symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven.

However, after severely beating his droogs, Alex becomes the victim of his own gang. During a home invasion, Alex assaults a woman and unintentionally murders her.

When he is attempting to flee the scene, one member of his gang manages to incapacitate Alex and leave him for the police.

Alex is sent to prison after being convicted of

murder and after a few years, is volunteered to take place in an experiment to “cure” him of his violent

visit in the near future.

urges. The question that is at stake is if a sociopath can ever truly be cured or merely deferred?

Surprisingly, Burgess is not fond of the novel. “We all suffer from the popular desire to make the known notorious.

“The book I am best known for, or only known for, is a novel I am prepared to repudiate: written a quarter of a century ago, a jeu d’esprit knocked off for money in three weeks, it became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence.

misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me until I die. I should not have written the book because of this danger of misinterpretation,” Burgess said.

When first beginning read the novel, it is a bit difficult to understand what is happening because the language is mostly made up slang that takes a while to figure out.

For instance, Alex often uses the phrase “rooker,” which apparently means hand. Burgess derived the slang from the Russian and Slavic languages.

A warning to potential readers is that the novel

is extremely graphic and viciously describes gangrapes of several women.

It is difficult to determine whether or not “A Clockwork Orange” can be described as a good or bad novel but can mostly be described as shocking.

The novel is definitely a journey into the mind of a sociopath, and perhaps even a glimpse into anarchy.

In my own experience with the novel, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth and an underlying suspicion of anyone who is super in to Beethoven.

Miley Cyrus creates unique swag in music Ivanna Tucker KSLC Assistant Music Director After all the backlash about her crazy fashion sense and interesting choice of tongue movements, Miley Cyrus’ album “Bangerz” showcases a new sense of her musical style that actually makes her unique, but still needs improvement.

Released on Oct. 1, Bangerz gave a new definition to what we know as pop music. Cyrus’ album also has influences from country and hip hop.

Executive producer Mike Will Made It helped Cyrus create a tone for her “debut” album, as she refers to it, that drags her far away from her Hannah Montana persona.

Bangerz starts out surprisingly with the soft slow song “Adore You,” which shows a more mature and emotional Cyrus that people tend to not see.

“We Can’t Stop” was the first single off of the album that still continues to receive mixed reviews. The song resembles early 90s R&B

Photo courtesy of thesource.com with simple pop lyrics that just get stuck in your mind.

Her vocals still sound like they did in her late Hannah Montana days so it’s hard to connect to her saying lines such as “To my home girls here with the big butt/ Shaking it like we at the strip club.”

The song still remains one of the best pop songs of 2013 because it is nothing like anything that has been released this year.

“SMS” featuring Britney Spears is a huge disappointment. It is a complete mess with the tracks beats and lyrics seeming thrown together.

The song is trying to mesh

Cyrus’ new sound with Spears’ signature sound and does not fit well. It’s filled with cliché and questioning lines like “They ask me how I keep a man/ I keep a battery pack.” The beat makes no sense and sounds awkward. This song should not have made it onto the final cut.

The next track “4x4” has a country feel to it and sounds like a hoedown. Nelly features on the track like he has for other country artists.

This song is completely different from the other tracks on Bangerz and just sounds awkward, but can potentially grow on some-

one if they are into oddballlike songs.

“Wrecking Ball” is the most powerful and baring song on Bangerz. Cyrus’ vocals on the power ballad shows a maturity that makes the record a breakup song that everyone can relate to.

The constant bass in the background adds emotional intensity that makes it the standout of the album.

Cyrus’ rap skills are shown on the track “Love Money Party” featuring Big Sean. Its haunting beats and Cyrus’ fast paced lines make the song catchy.

With Big Sean on the record, Cyrus created her own unique swag that pushes her into the hip hop category.

Other artists featured on Bangerz include Future and French Montana.

Bangerz is compiled of complete randomness and it is working in Cyrus’ favor.

Some songs however just didn’t sit well because they are so cluttered with funky beats and random lyrics.

Wildcats pass off game ball in Rip City Relay Ryan Morgan Senior reporter A ceremonial Portland Trailblazers game ball made a stop at Linfield College on its 216 mile journey to Moda stadium for the Blazer’s opening night on Nov. 1.

The ball began its journey on Oct. 29 in Coos Bay, Ore., and will end in Moda Stadium, the Blazer’s home court, on Nov. 2. The relay is an attempt to get the community excited about what the Trailblazers are doing.

At the start of every Trailblazers game, fans pass the game ball down from the 300 level seating. The relay expands the tradition statewide in an attempt to bolster fandom outside the city of Portland.

The relay was deemed “Rip City” after one of Portland’s many nicknames.

“Rip City” was allegedly coined by Bill Schonely, the Trailblazers’ play-by-play announcer, after a particularly difficult jump shot put the Blazer’s back into contention for the win during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971, the Blazer’s first season.

“The Portland Trailblaz-

ers are Portland’s team obviously, but they’re really Oregon’s team,” President Thomas L. Hellie said at the event.

“I think that it’s quite fitting that this event should be traveling from city to city in Oregon and especially fitting that it should be coming to McMinnville and Linfield College,” Hellie said.

“Linfield itself has a storied in athletics as well as academics,” Hellie said.

Linfield had two alumnae directly involved with event.

Mandy Sitz, who helped organize the relay event, and Katie Hollen who now works for Moda Insurance.

Both women are from the class of 2003, according to Hellie.

“We are grateful to them for remembering us,” Hellie said.

Larry Yoder, head of McMinville’s city council spoke after Hellie.

“It’s a pleasure to be a part of this part of the relay.

I am so glad that you were able to make McMinville and Linfield College one of your stops,” Yoder said to the Trailblazer representatives in attendance.

“We have a great partner-

girls, and we worked really good together,” Coopock said.

Ludin and Coopock both expressed just how much it has meant for them to be on the team all these years.

“I definitely wouldn’t have gotten to meet everyone I’ve met, if I hadn’t joined,” Ludin said. “I met my best friend, Shayli, when we joined freshman year.”

“We started playing together freshman year, and we became best friends,” Coopock said.

While the two seniors plan on moving back home after graduation, they both have plans to stay involved in volleyball.

Ludin hails from Bozeman, Mont., and plans to return home after graduation. However before the school year is over, Ludin already has plans to coach a club volleyball team in McMinnville, this spring.

With the help of her health education major, Ludin also explores the possibilities to coach when she returns home.

Coopock will be returning home to Temecula, Calif., upon graduation with a degree in psychology. While

she has no set plans for volleyball in the future, Coopock is sure she will continue playing, as volleyball is a big part of her hometown’s culture.

“I live in southern California, so I will probably still play when I get home,” Coopock said. “I’ll play beach and indoor. It’s really popular down there.”

The final home game against George Fox University ended in defeat for the Wildcats, as the Bruins won 3-0.

The Wildcats also played against Pacific University Nov. 2, where the teams battled for the win. Linfield claimed victory over the Boxers, winning three of the five sets.

Linfield will play its final away games Nov. 8 and 9.

The Wildcats will face off with Whitman College at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 in Walla Walla, Wash., followed by a game against Witworth University at 7 p.m. on Nov. 9 in Spokane, Wash.

The Wildcats remain in last for the Northwest conference with a 3-11 record.

Volleyball seniors play at final home game, lose 3-0 Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor The Wildcats celebrate the two seniors at the final home game of the season on Nov. 1.

The volleyball team’s two seniors are Kelsey Ludin and Shayli Coopock.

Ludin has played for Linfield since her freshman year, and has started every season.

Ludin and Coopock agree that their junior season was their favorite of their careers.

“We had a really good season last year,” Ludin said.

“It wasn’t even our best season, I think, but we just had a lot of fun.”

Football: Wildcats battle for number one spot << Continued from page 16 sive side of the ball.

The Linfield football team spends a great deal of time at practice during the week, working out how they will take on their next opponent, and have shown every week that this pays off.

When asked what he thought the key to winning the game against Willamette

was, Sophomore running back Tavon Willis responded with one word: preparation. Freshman running back Spencer Payne attributed part of the win to the linemen.

“Our linemen had a really great game,” Payne said.

He also said, “Our defense is amazing”, referring back to the two interceptions they had in the game.

Linfield will take on Puget Sound University next in the AT&T Hall Of Fame Game. This game is at 1:00 on Nov. 9 at Maxwell Field.

They will hope to continue their perfect season, as well as take over the number one spot in the Division III football standings.

Men’s basketball loses Women’s soccer falls to in season starting game second in conference Drew Mahrt Senior sports reporter The Linfield men’s basketball started their season with an exhibition game against Western Oregon University on Nov. 1. They lead going into halftime, but could close out and finished with a 70-64 loss.

Linfield outscored its opponent by five, leading 43-38 and finishing with a 15-3 run in the last five minutes of the first half, but couldn’t manage to hold off the Wolves in the end. They played well on defense, but could seem to get the offense rolling again in the second, as they were outscored by 11.

They had an excellent performance coming from freshman guard Ryan Potter, as he scored 20 points in the loss. He went 6-8 from beyond the three-point line and added two more from free throws, making a perfect 2-2 from the char-

ity stripe. Potter also finished the game with three rebounds, two assists and only one turnover. Junior guard Adam Myren also had a solid game coming away with 12 points and four rebounds.

Even though freshman

Junior Chris Dirks guard Tanner Brill couldn’t get the hot hand with his shots from the field, he kept his nerves under control and went 6-6 from the free throw line, as well as adding three rebounds and two assists.

Linfield shot a decent 57.1 percent from the field

and a great 66.7 percent from past the three-point line, but dropped these stats down to 27.6 percent from the field and 26.7 percent for three in the second.

The Wildcats finished this game with a 40.0 shooting percentage and a 44.4 three point percentage. They did a bit better from the free throw line, shooting 75 percent making 12 out of 16 attempts, but this couldn’t help them to victory.

The men will play in the Bon Appetit Classic against Old Westbury University at 7 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the Ted Wilson Gymnasium, followed by a game against Portland Bible College at 5 p.m. on Nov. 17 in Portland, Ore. Their first regular season game will be at 8 p.m. on Dec. 7 against George Fox University. This game will be played away in Newberg, Ore. Drew Mahrt can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.

Stephanie Hofmann Sports editor The women’s soccer team had back-to-back away games this weekend winning one on Nov. 2 in a close match against George Fox University, 1-0 and the team lost the next day, Nov. 3 against Puget Sound University, 0-2.

The Wildcats’ win on Saturday Nov. 2 wasn’t an easy one. The girls made 36 attempts on goal during the whole game.

They only scoring in the second half by the teams star shooter senior Emily Fellows. Fellows made 12 attempted shots leading the team.

The defense was up like usual, only letting George Fox get close enough to shot seven times all of which were deflected by sophomore Kallina Haase.

The team continued on their trip away by going to play Puget Sound in

Senior Emily Fellows Tacoma, Wash. The team attempted to shoot nine times, but none of them resulted in a goal.

The Loggers were able to get around the Wildcats defense two times, both in the first half and were able to keep the ’Cats at bay for the rest of the game.

This is the second lost that the women’s team has had all season.

This loss however did more than wreak their stats.

It moved the Wildcats down to second in the Northwest

Sophomore Kallina Haase Conference below Puget Sound by that one game.

The ’Cats will stay away for the rest of the conference season.

The Wildcats are still playing games away. Next week’s game against Lewis & Clark University will be in Portland, Ore. on Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. and another against Pacific Lutheran University at 11 a.m. on Nov. 9 at Tacoma, Wash.

Men’s soccer improves each year Drew Mahrt Senior sports editor Linfield added two losses to their record during the weekend of Nov. 2, moving them to sixth in the Northwest Conference and sending their record to 8-8-2.

The Wildcats took on the Whitman College Missionaries on Nov. 2, but came away with the loss due to three Whitman goals late in the second.

While Linfield did score their first goal since Oct. 20, they still couldn’t manage to keep their opponents from scoring. They lost the game 4-1.

Linfield also took the loss against Whitworth University on Nov. 3, with the final score being 3-0.

Linfield sits at an 8-8-2 record and, with only one game left, hopes to stay above .500.

Linfield has, however, officially improved from last year to now. The Wildcats’ record last year was 7-11, whereas this year

Freshman Wyatt Lay they have eight wins with a game left to go.

The Wildcats have finished in sixth place during five out of their last six seasons, but are showing major improvement as of late and giving hope to a fifth place

or better season next year.

The freshman talent has been a huge factor in Linfield’s improvement, as their second leading scorer

Freshman Jorge Rodriguez freshman Nicholas Autencio has contributed five goals, just three behind the team’s leading scorer.

Freshmen keeper Jorge Rodriguez and defender Wyatt Lay have also been key parts of the Wildcat

defense. Rodriguez has recorded 50 plus saves this year even with missing four of the games, and has done a fantastic job of keeping Linfield’s opponents from racking up high scoring games.

Lay has been a brick wall on defense rarely letting his man get by him. He has played the full 180 minutes in the majority of his starts, and has earned every minute of that.

Linfield plays Willamette in their final game of the year. While this may not be a championship deciding game, it is still a key game to the Wildcats season, as a win will take their record to 9-8-2, putting them above .500. This game will be played at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 9, here at the Linfield soccer field.

Swim makes a splash at relay Helen Lee Photo editor

Linfield’s swim team had their first meet of the year at the Northwest Conference Sprint Meet on Nov. 1, as well as the NWC Relay Meet on Nov 2.

The NWC Sprint Meet was hosted in Tacoma, Wash.,

by Pacific Lutheran University. Linfield placed in the top 25 in six of the 10 events, and in the top 10 for one of them.

Sophomore Ian White was the star of the show for Linfield, placing eighth in the men’s 50-yard backstroke with a time of 26.25 seconds.

He also placed 14th in the men’s 100-yard IM race, finishing with a time of 57.09 seconds.

Sophomore Nikki Overton also did well for the Wildcats, placing 26th twice in the meet for her 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard IM. Overton was three seconds behind the 100 IM winner Jackie Beal, a freshman from Whitworth University, with a time of 1:06.20, and two seconds behind the winner Tai Hallstein, a freshman from Whitman in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 26.69 seconds.

Despite their Nov. 2 meet loss, the Wildcats have high hopes for the rest of the season.

“I got a best time in the 100-yard IM and my times for

the 50s were OK. It’s still early in the season and I had a really long day on Friday and I think it showed in my races,” freshman Anna Korn said.

Korn placed 37th in the Nov. 1 Sprint Meet in her 50-yard backstroke with a time of 32.14 seconds. She also placed 84th in the 100yard IM with a time of 1:12.54 seconds.

“My times weren’t as fast as what I was going my senior year of high school but I took the summer off and I’m just starting to get back into it,” said Korn.

Junior Ian Coker also shook off the loss and said, “We had some good performances and got to see how the rest of the conference looked. It was nice to start the season with a low-pressure meet.”

Coker’s 1:00.53 100-yard IM ranked him 45th in the Nov. 1 Relay Meet, and he hopes to improve throughout the season.

“I would like to be a top 16 finisher at conference in the 200-yard freestyle and a top eight finisher in the 1650yard freestyle. I also hope to get faster and have personal best times in all my events at conference,” Coker said.

The Wildcats have their next meet at 6 p.m. on Nov. 8 at home against Whitman College.

Pacific may have the chance to break Wildcat’s streak So I love my Wildcat footballers as much as any other student here at Linfield, but did you know there’s a chance that Linfield may not get a bid for the Northwest Conference Championships?

And who would be the threat to Linfield’s winning tradition? The answer is 45 minutes away in a little town called Forest Grove. If Pacific University somehow pulls off a win over Linfield during their last game of the season on Nov. 16, it would cause a three-way tie between Pacific University, Pacific Lutheran University and Linfield College.

Now, having a three way

Sports Commentary

Camille Weber Sports columnist tie between these teams doesn’t seem so bad, but Pacific’s season does seem to have a potential effect on our football team’s chances of advancing to the Division III playoffs.

According to NCAA Division III rules, each conference has their own set of rules in the event of a three-way tie for first place. In terms of who advances to the Division III playoffs, it turns out Pacific has a good chance of getting the qualifying bid if a three way tie were to happen.

So far, the Boxers are 4-1 in the Northwest Conference.

Their one loss was against Pacific Lutheran where they lost by one field goal in the last minutes of the game.

So should the Wildcats be concerned? My Wildcat pride says “of course not” but we need to look at the facts.

Their win over Lewis and

Clark College Nov. 1 gave the Boxers seven wins for the first time since 1972. This also gives the Boxers three conference wins for the first time since 1988.

In addition, one of Pacific’s quarterbacks, senior T.C. Campbell, has the potential to give the Wildcats a tough time in their final game of the season. Campbell was featured in an addition of Call My Play, a San Francisco based company that specializes in providing professional play-by-play commentary to highlight athletic achievements, in a section entitled “Pacific Play of the Week.”

Campbell was highlight-

ed after he turned a 10-yard loss into an 11-yard gain, and then scrambled again to find wide receiver, Jakob Lawrence in the back of the end zone for a touchdown in the Boxers’ 21-6 win over Chicago on Oct. 26.

It seems that the Pacific football team has put themselves in the most ideal position to threaten the Wildcats’ expected NWC play off. However, we haven’t lost a game to the Boxer’s in decades. And we do have the 58 season winning momentum behind us. Let’s face it.

It’s the norm for Linfield to get into the play-offs. The Wildcats have earned eight

trips to the NCAA Division III Playoffs in the last twelve seasons – advancing to the quarterfinals three times.

Our Wildcats have even made it to the semifinals once and won the NCAA Division III National Championship in 2004.

It’s interesting that Pacific University actually has a chance to challenge Linfield’s winning streak norm but let’s face it, our Wildcats aren’t going to let any team in the NWC get in their way from taking their 59th straight winning season.

Wildcats slash Bearcats, 56-15 Drew Mahrt Senior sports reporter

The Linfield Wildcats bring home the win again, defeating the Willamette University Bearcats 56-15 and improving their record to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in conference.

This win tied Linfield with the University of Mount Union for first in the country in Division III. Linfield’s record of 7-0 ties Mount Union in the standings, and the Wildcats 56 point game on Nov. 2 also tied them with Mount Union for total points this season.

Coach Joseph Smith mentioned that he will be “spreading the ball around to a few different backs” during the game against Willamette. Linfield had a total of eight different rusher is the game, five of which carried the ball multiple times.

Senior quarterback Josh Yoder had a spectacular game against the

Bearcats, exploding for six total scores in the game. He carried the ball 26 times for 175 yards and four touchdowns, as well as adding 13 pass completions for 171 yards and two more scores.

Yoder’s favorite target in the game was senior wide receiver Charlie Poppen, who caught five passes for 53 yards and a score.

Senior running back Josh Hill also had an impressive game, totaling 23 touches for 168 yards and a touchdown and adding 37 more yards receiving.

Linfield offense totaled 622 allpurpose yards, 451 of which coming from the rushing attack and the other 171 through the air. They won out the time-of-possession battle by 19 minutes, controlling the ball for 39 minutes compared to Willamette’s 20, and also recorded two interceptions on the defen>> Please see Football page 14

Cross country continues road to Regionals Stephanie Hofmann Sports Reporter The cross country teams competed in the Northwest Conference Championships meet on Nov. 2 in Spokane, Wash.

The men’s team ended the race fifth out of nine conference school runners. Leading the Wildcats was freshman Michael O’Neil, who finished 11th with a time of 25:45.16, just over a minute slower than the leader of the pack from Willamette University. Following O’Neil, sophomore Alex Mangan finished 14th with a time of 25:49.21 and Junior Calvin Howell ended in 22th with a time of 26:12.26. The team finished with a total amount of points of 128.

“I think that this meet shows that we’re resilient as a team

and should be optimistic for the future,” Mangan said in an email.

“There were a lot of underclassmen and juniors that stepped up.

Hopefully we can use this race as a springboard to motivate us for next season.”

The team leaders of this season, Howell and senior Joe Gladow have been working with injuries for the past couple of weeks. They now have two weeks until the regional meet in California to get back in shape and be ready to run at the top of their game.

“I believe we had a shot at winning the conference title this year, we were just a little too banged up and injured so it didn’t happen,” Howell said in an email. “Cross Country is different from any other sport, there is no tournament or season to decide where you finish

in the conference. We have 8000 meters to decide how good we are and sometimes we’ll have an off day and not perform to our capabilities.”

The women’s team ended the race fourth out of the nice schools there at the meet. Leading the girls was senior Hannah Greider who finished 11th with a time of 23:00.58. Following her was senior Sienna Noe who ended in 13th with a time of 23:03.32 and senior Katie Skinner who finished 16th with a time of 23:12.14.

“This weekend I think we all put in our best efforts, and you can’t ask for more than that,” Greider said in an email. “However, while the team didn’t have a bad day we also didn’t have a great day, and if everyone had been feeling their best I think we could have taken

the title, so getting fourth place was a bit of a disappointment, though nothing to be ashamed of.”

The teams will head to the NCAA Division III West Regionals race in two weeks on Nov. 16 in Claremont, Calif.

“I really hope that our team realized from the meet that we can be conference champions,” head coach Travis Olson said in an email. “As coaches we preach it all the time, when you toe the line you should feel like we are going to win as a team and I think they did that in Spokane. We have created a great atmosphere but need to continue to try and get better as a whole, which I have no doubt we will.”
