CPS hires two new officers

Student faces college policy, legal consequences

As we kick start the 2013-2014 school year, some new faces have been added to the staff of College Public Safety.

During the summer, CPS hired Greg Axe and Gregg Tullius as on staff as officers.

Prior to joining the Linfield team, Axe worked as a special campus public safety officer at Oregon State University. He also attended Linn Benton Community College and Linfield.

Tullius joined CPS after retiring from the Oregon State Police after 30 years.

“They are a great addition to the team,” said Rebecca Wale, Director of College Public Safety and Environmental Health and Safety, via email.

Wale has several things happening at CPS this year to help keep campus safe.

“CPS provides courtesy rides or walking escorts on campus for students, faculty and staff,” Wale said in an email. “Due to high demand for this service on weekends, CPS will sometimes use a college fleet vehicle to assist more students.”

CPS also asks students to program their phone number, 503-8837233 into their contact list. By calling this number, students can receive

A Linfield student who was arrested for drunk driving in May 2013 has returned to Linfield and Linfield’s football team.

Senior Colin Forman was charged with 10 Class A misdemeanors, in which he plead guilty to one count of second-degree criminal mischief and driving under the influence of intoxicants.

He was also charged with two counts of recklessly endangering another person and hit-and-run.

Although Forman was 20 years old at the time of the incident, his citation for being a minor in possession of alcohol was dismissed.

He was also sentenced with 96 hours in jail and two years of bench probation, a 90 day suspension to his driver’s license, as well as required attendance and completion of a safety driving class.

Forman also faced the consequences of both Linfield and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. As punishment for his actions last spring, the college has suspended Forman for 25 percent of the 2013 football season, according to Susan Hopp, vice president of student affairs and athletics. “[The consequences are] pretty standard sanction,” Hopp said.

help if they are locked out, have lost their ID card, or for any reason they might feel unsafe on campus.

“If a student is not carrying a cell phone, there are blue lights and emergency call boxes located across campus that automatically dial CPS when activated,” Wale said.

CPS is also responsible for making sure that Linfield’s parking lots are safe. Wale reminds drivers to keep fire lanes open. This year, additional overnight parking has been added to Keck Circle by the HP Park apartments.

“Over the next year, there will be additional loading zones established on campus to allow unloading while maintaining clear fire lanes,” Wale said.

CPS has improved the bicycle registry system. Bikes can be registered free of charge, by placing a bar code sticker on the bike frame. This makes it easier for the bicycles to be returned to their owners, according to Wale.

CPS also has a centralized lost and found that students can contact to see if their belongings have been returned.

“Its tied to the severity [and] it’s tied to appropriateness.

For some things, students would be dismissed from the team and or dismiss[ed] Forman from the school.”

The NCAA was also involved in the decision of how many games Forman would be suspended for and whether he’d be allowed to play this season.

Hopp explained the way in which student discipline is handled at Linfield, but she could not go any further into Forman’s record, as he is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. “In general, the philosophy behind student discipline issues, whenever possible, is it becomes a learning opportunity,” Hopp said. “We hold students accountable for college policies that they break.”

Forman did not respond to the Linfield Review’s efforts to reach him.

Cat Camp encourages overall school spirit The importance of school spirit is often overlooked in everyday life. Of course you hear the combined roar of students and alumni during the homecoming football game or championship baseball game.

But rarely do you hear students applauding their extraordinary peers who study abroad, tend to the community garden or receive a high grade point average.

Luckily, a new Linfield tradition, Cat Camp, focuses on instilling an all-encompassing Linfield school spirit into new students.

Aug. 22 marked the first ever Cat Camp at Linfield College. The football stands were filled with new students and their parents.

School administrators

and students rallied with the crowd through Linfield trivia and facts about the many successful programs here.

“Cat Camp was super fun. I learned a lot about Linfield thanks to Dave Hansen’s fun trivia session,” senior Michon Hunsaker said. “The entire event was really exciting and spirited.”

Rather than just focusing on a few specific programs, the event included details about all of the organizations at Linfield.

Academics, sports and arts were all highlighted and recognized for excellence during the event.

Many freshmen thought Cat Camp was a great way to kick off their time at Linfield.

“It was certainly informative and a good intro-

duction to Linfield,” freshman Zach Knight said.

“The cheerleading was great, and the speakers were all interesting and engaging.”

It was also a great chance for leaders at Linfield to be recognized for their hard work and dedication. Many resident advisors, peer advisors and Associated Students of Linfield College members were applauded during the event.

“At first I was a bit nervous at how the incoming students would react to Cat Camp. However, Cat Camp turned out to be a huge success. We had a great turn out with incoming freshmen lining up around the block…I believe we all received a feeling of being welcomed and at home,” junior Maya Luque said.

All Linfield students deserve to be recognized for their achievement in whatever they choose to focus on during their time at Linfield, and Cat Camp was a great introduction to inclusive and continuous school spirit.

“It was cool to hear about all the achievements, and it got me excited to be here,” freshman Ryan Potter said.

We challenge all Linfield students to continue Cat Camp’s mission by showing support for every student and program here at Linfield.

In doing so, school spirit will increase and Linfield will feel even more welcoming than it already does.

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES

Seniors hurdle over paperwork to graduate Already missed a deadline?

No not a homework deadline, but a registrar form deadline… I didn’t even realize it was due at the end of my junior year.

Let’s tack that on to the growing list of stuff I have to finish before I can graduate—just one email reminder would have been nice.

At the beginning of each school year, every student is plagued with getting back into the grove of being back at school, as well as jumping on growing piles of school work and catching up with friends that we haven’t seen in three months.

But as a senior, the start of our last year at Linfield is bitter-sweet.

Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor With the excitement and fear of having the end in sight, we have a lot to deal with.

We have deadlines, paperwork, thesis, capstones and etcetera to finish in just a short nine months.

While it is not necessarily their job to remind us about these types of deadlines, who else is going to?

We have not been

seniors before, and new advisors might not be familiar with everything that needs to be done.

The paper work necessary to graduate may be required, but it is not a recurring task that students have to perform each year, such as clearing our accounts, getting our semester stickers or registering for classes.

So us seniors are not sure exactly what is required of us.

This also does not fall onto the staff of the registrars office.

This should be included in academic advising’s responsibilities.

Academic advising is the office in charge of dealing with our majors, other than our advisors.

Just like the incoming students, there should be a check off list of things that need to be done before our huge occasion sneaks up on us.

Or even just a tab on the current students page on the Linfield website would be helpful.

Even with the forms online, there’s no guidelines or reminders of what else seniors need to do.

Instead of having to go look for three or four different things, in different places, it should be more simple!

One master form or website that lists all of the requirements would definitely make life easier for seniors and end all of the confusion.

What we don’t need

is scrutiny when we turn these forms in late, unsure of what we were supposed to do, and then told that we can’t turn it in until we fill something else out.

I think this confusion could all come to an end with three simple things: communication, updated technology options and patience.

Now we don’t need to be babied, but a little help would be appreciated.

Just like the big adjustment of coming into college, going out into the real world is scary and some times intimidating, we need the support of our small college.

COMMUNITY

Visit McMinnville, burst your Linfield bubble The beauty of downtown McMinnville is often forgotten by students who are trapped inside the Linfield bubble.

Professors and many others urge students to become involved in the McMinnville community, but too often students ignore the advice and rarely stray off campus.

As I walked down Third Street, strolled through the McMinnville Farmers Market and started an internship in the McMinnville community, I began to realize how important that advice is.

Alyssa Townsend Opinion editor The McMinnville community is incredibly welcoming and offers a chance for students to continue their well-rounded education outside of the classroom.

I too was stuck inside the Linfield bubble.

It almost comes naturally to spend the day in your dorm with your best friends, and even buying food is easily accessible on campus.

Additionally, weekends are spent with friends and weekdays are spent in the classroom, so going off campus seems almost pointless.

However, that is completely false.

By becoming more involved in the McMinnville community, students have the opportunity to network.

We are constantly

reminded that networking is crucial to enter today’s work force, and nowhere is better to start than here in McMinnville.

Community members recognize the name and valuable education that is offered at Linfield.

The community already has an established relationship with Linfield students.

These people could become future bosses, friends and even references.

Take the opportunity and use it to your advantage.

Additionally, graduate schools and employers look for students who are well-rounded and seek leadership outside of school.

Being off-campus is also a great stress reliever, especially for underclassmen.

Sometimes living in a small space with the same people every day can become exhausting and stressful.

Volunteering in the community or visiting downtown can be a great opportunity to escape your everyday problems and take a break from extensive

to-do lists.

I apologize if I am preaching about this topic too much, but it is something I wish I would have realized as a freshman.

Forget the McMinnville “townie” stereotypes and embrace the community for the welcoming place it is.

I challenge everyone who hasn’t done so already, to pop their Linfield bubble and make the most out of their time here.

You will be happy that you did.

LITERATURE

Reading can be incredibly sexy George R. R. Martin, author of the “Game of Thrones” series, wrote: “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies… The man who never reads lives only one.”

I am not entirely sure why, but at some point within the last couple of generations, reading has gone out of style and is no longer viewed as cool hobby.

In all fairness, every once in a while, someone will secretly admit to being a bibliophile; however, the bulk of young people today only read when it is required, which is a shame because there is appealing than having a book in hand.

Classic literature gathers dust on library shelves because people do not want to read and I just do not understand why.

Furthermore, when someone actually picks up a book, it seems that it is always a popular, mostly pornographic, novel that they loaded onto their Kindle for free.

Maybe I find this so confusing because I have an undying desire to discuss what I have read until I am able to get all of my pent up feelings out, and to actually have someone understand it. There is nothing I find more attractive in a guy than him being well read. If only guys like this were easier to find.

It’s not just about knowing a good story or two, or even being able to understand why half of my paycheck goes to Powell’s Books, it is about what reading can say about a person.

A person that reads is often patient, which is a much appreciated virtue.

In the age of technology, people are used to instant gratification and most well

Paige Jurgensen Columnist written novels will not deliver that.

Gratification only comes to readers after carefully reading hundreds of pages, an act in itself that should be gratifying.

Nobody should have to justify their hobbies, but there is something about a guy whose only passion lies in “pwning noobs,” that is ragingly unattractive.

On the other hand, a guy that can fit in a chapter or two of Kurt Vonnegut during their day, between gaining XP points, is definitely a guy that is worth leveling up with.

Reading should not be a rarity, but rather an expected characteristic.

In the days before television, it seems that everyone that could read, read.

Book clubs were not just an excuse for middle aged mothers to get day-drunk on wine.

Over the years, the majority of people have lost the appreciation for words, which is another reason why when someone is enthralled in a literary journey, that they are nearly irresistible.

So, for those of us that are bibliophile-philes, we must troll bookstores in search of hotties and occasionally make obscure references to our favorite George Orwell novel, until we find someone that also thinks reading is sexy.

EDUCATION

Exploring the world is a great opportunity Studying abroad is great! It allows you to get to know yourself, the country you’re in, the United States and your hometown a whole lot better.

I’ve had the opportunity to live and study abroad before coming to Linfield and I absolutely loved it.

You get a better understanding of another country, culture and way of life.

Even though we all think we have our own ideas of how other people live, it’s completely different than what we could ever imagine, regardless of how much research we do or how many people we talk to beforehand. Nothing can really prepare you for the new adventure that you will embark on while studying abroad.

Each study abroad

Kiera Downs Staff writer opportunity is different and you learn so many new things about yourself that you probably did not even know you could know about yourself.

Studying abroad is a lot easier and less stressful if you remain open-minded and go with the flow. The more you resist, the harder it is to enjoy yourself and have fun.

You will learn new ways of doing things you would

have never thought that may even be better than how you previously performed a task.

You will truly understand how fortunate you are to be able to study abroad or even to be receiving an education. You will realize all of the little things you took advantage of at home because you won’t have them while you are gone, and you will find a newfound appreciation for them.

I lived in New Zealand when I was younger and the experience was a lot different than when I studied abroad in Europe after graduating high school.

Life as a kid is much simpler than as an adult.

Kids have less to worry about and are much more accepting of strange things

compared to when you are an adult.

Now I am so glad I had that experience and I want to go back to New Zealand one day.

I chose to study abroad in Germany as a gap year after high school because the opportunity arose and I knew I wouldn’t ever get one like it again. I went not knowing anything about the German language, but I learned just by being there.

I learned so much more from my host family and my friends that I would have never been able to learn in a classroom. I also learned a lot about myself.

I am planning on studying abroad here at Linfield and I think that everyone should at least consider it.

Former student sentenced to three years in prison Samantha Sigler Editor-in-chief

After more than a year of court hearings, a former Linfield student pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in prison in May for sex abuse charges involving two girls.

Kyle McLennan, 22, a former student and football player, pleaded guilty to one count of seconddegree sex abuse and three reduced charges, including attempted first-degree rape,

attempted firstdegree s e x abuse a n d attempted firstdegree unlawf u l sexual McLennan penetration in Washington County Circuit Court, according to court documents.

In February 2012,

McLennan was arrested by Hillsboro police for allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with a 13-yearold girl when he was 17.

McLennan was indicted on three counts of firstand second-degree rape, six counts of first-degree sexual abuse, two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, three counts of firstand second-degree unlawful sexual penetration and five counts of third-degree sodomy.

Eighteen of those counts

are Measure 11 crimes that carry mandatory minimum prison sentences.

The court recommended McLennan serve his sentence at Columbia River Corrections Facility because of his age and family support.

He is to also serve 10 years post-prison supervision and has to register as a sex offender, complete a sex offender evaluation and treatment and is to have no contact with minors, according to court documents.

Court documents show that McLennan also engaged in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old victim when he was in high school between June 23, 2010 and June 22, 2011 and June 23, 2011 and Oct. 11, 2011.

McLennan was arrested in February after the 13-year-old victim reported their sexual relationship, which had occurred four years earlier, to a school counselor.

Through their investiga-

tion, police learned of the 15-year-old girl, who was listed as the second victim in the case.

McLennan agreed to pay restitution to the victims for counseling, but objected to the amount and nature of other expenses, according to court documents.

He will appear in Washington County Circuit Court for a restitution hearing later this month, according to court documents.

“Student government thought it was a great program and something that could change the culture of student life on campus,” Ferguson said.

Over the past few years, Ferguson, along with members of ASLC, had noticed a decline in participation in the near 45 clubs offered at Linfield.

“The student government, my office and some of the folks in student affairs had noticed a decrease in club life on campus,” Ferguson said. “We were trying to wrap our head around why, and what could we do to help fix that.”

Organizations are set up in one of two ways: the first being students can hit a “join” button on the organizations home page and

become a part of the mailing list. The second, used more by Greek organizations and for groups like Linfield Activities Board and ASLC

information to learn more.

Any registered group on campus can have a page on The Den, including ASLC, departmental clubs, Greek

club charter has not changed and still requires filling out paper documents, though programmers for The Den are looking into putting the documents required to do so online.

Ferguson plans to implement a larger campaign this fall to inform students about how to use The Den. “That’s the one thing we’re still working through, how to get students involved in it,” Ferguson said. “I know that over the summer all freshman received an email about it from their Resident Advisor that talked about The Den and how they could use it, but we will need to do a bigger publicity campaign.”

When students join a club, they have the option of filling in their personal infor-

mation and phone numbers, which are kept private and used by club leaders to send text messages instead of email.

“I think it will help club leaders to get the message out to students,” Ferguson said. “I’d like to think that students are checking their emails regularly, but our club leaders tell a different story.

This would just be one other way of getting the message out there to club members.”

Ferguson has high hopes for The Den in attracting students to get more involved in the Linfield community.

“There is a club or one waiting to be founded for every student to get involved in on this campus,” Ferguson said.

Website offers students a new way to get involved Olivia Marovich News editor Linfield’s new website, The Den, launched this fall with the purpose of getting more students involved in campus organizations.

With The Den, Linfield students can sign up for clubs on campus and have their information entered into the club mailing list, allowing them to join different groups on campus.

The concept for a social networking site that allows students to see the clubs and organizations offered at Linfield was created during the Spring of 2012 by the Associated Students of Linfield College, student government and Dan Ferguson, Director of College Activities.

President, states should look to Oregon for creative college funding ideas Katherine Long The Seattle Times Two dozen Northwest Indian tribes are working with the University of Washington, Bothell, to create tribal-centered academic lessons for high school students.

The Tribal Education Network initiative will work to integrate tribal stories and values in a program that aims to get more Native American students to college, and to help them earn college cre-

dentials while in high school.

“We long for people who are traditionally oriented because of their upbringing, yet who are excellent as scholars,” said Jim Thomas, chairman of a committee for the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians and a member of the Tlingit Tribe of Southeastern Alaska.

The project is still very much in the early stages. The goal is to create a pilot project with 60 or 80 students next year in several tribal communities.

It was inspired by the UW’s annual tribal summit, said Deanna Kennedy, an assistant professor in the UWBothell’s School of Business and a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.

It grew out of discussions between academics and tribal leaders about ways to forge a closer bond between the state’s academic institutions and the tribes.

Lynn Palmanteer-Holder, a tribal leader and representative of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reserva-

tion, said one area of emphasis will likely be business and economic-development courses— an area of interest to many tribes.

“We need to generate revenue, and invest back into our communities,” she said.

She said many groups often talk about partnering with the tribes, but “we want something concrete.”

“This group at Bothell really understood that,” she said.

“I’m pretty excited about it.”

Native American students make up a small percentage

Princeton Review calls Linfield“Best in the West” Olivia Marovich News editor The Princeton Review named Linfield College as one of the best 125 colleges on the West Coast in their “2014 Best Colleges: Region by Region”.

One of the “Best in the West” schools, Linfield was selected after a review board rating.

The rating was based on institutional data, indepen-

dent student surveys, campus visits and reports from high school counselors and covered a wide variety of subjects including academics, study abroad programs and campus community.

Linfield is one of only 10 private, liberal arts colleges in Oregon, has 47 majors and about 2,600 students in its three programs: liberal-arts and sciences, nursing and adult-degree programs.

The Princeton Review is

a standardized test preparation and admissions consulting company that evaluates schools and creates tests for student achievement in the United States and 21 other countries.

Linfield is one of 378 colleges featured in the 2014 print version of The Princeton Reviews report, which includes information for students considering their options for higher education.

The report includes 62

categories for ranking colleges including jock and party schools, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender friendly schools, most religious schools and best college dorm rooms.

Linfield has been recognized by the Princeton Review for three of the last four years.

The Princeton Review also featured Linfield in as one of the top green schools back in May 2010.

of the college enrollment in Washington.

In fall 2010, about 5,300 Native American students were enrolled in Washington colleges, and made up less than 2 percent of all enrollments in public and private schools and community colleges, according to the Washington Student Achievement Council.

About 47 percent of Native Americans who graduated from high school enrolled in college within a year of graduation in 2009.

Thomas said it makes sense for the tribes to connect with the smaller branch campus of the UW because, while it shares the UW’s prestige, it’s a smaller setting and thus a better fit for Indian students who grow up in small tribal communities and can be overwhelmed by a large campus.

Leaders of the initiative envision incorporating tribal values by teaching academic subjects using real-life scenarios developed by experts from the tribes and the UW-Bothell.

Freshmen write essays for competitive scholarship Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor

Before the school year even starts, the incoming students work hard to show their writing skills for the chance to win free books for the semester.

The incoming freshmen were given a common summer reading book, “The Thieves of Bagdad,” by Matthew Bogdanos. In the book, Bogdanos tells of his commitment to recover Iraq’s cultural artifacts looted from the Iraq Museum in the chaotic days follow-

ing the U.S.-led invasion to capture Baghdad from Saddam Hussein’s government.

In response to the reading, the new students were challenged to answer this prompt: “In the book, Bogdanos gives several examples of his own indulgence in the “irrational tenth” that may have not been prudent at the time but did lead, later on, to valuable intelligence or opportunity.

What does the “irrational tenth” mean to you? Give an example in which you have indulged the “irratio-

nal tenth” in your life and compare it to Bogdanos’ own approach to solving problems. Or, conversely, discuss why indulging the “irrational tenth” is, in your opinion, too dangerous to exercise, regardless of the potential reward.

How does the “irrational tenth” potentially lead to useful knowledge? And, if you believe that it does not, why is the “irrational tenth” detrimental to one’s growth as an educated citizen of the world?”

The prompt was written by Brian Winkenweder,

associate professor of art history and visual culture.

Taking first in the writing contest was Megan Schwehr with her essay titled, “Defining the Undefinable: The Irrational Tenth.” She was awarded free textbooks for her fall semester classes from Barnes and Noble Linfield bookstore, according to Ellen Crabtree, interim director of academic advising.

Finley Brogan’s essay was untitled, but it still grabbed the second place prize of a $250 gift certifi-

Former president’s husband dies Sarah Mason Editor-in-chief The Rev. Robert Bull, husband of Vivian Bull, former president of Linfield College died at the age of 92 on Aug. 31.

The Rev. Robert Bull will be especially remembered for his archaeological findings and teaching career at Drew University’s Theological School. He received his doctorate and master of sacred theology from Yale University, doctor of letters and bachelor of arts from Randolph-Macon College and his bachelor of divinity from Duke University,

according to Drew Magazine.

In 1955, he was hired by Drew University to teach the history of the Christian faith. The same year the Rev. Bull joined the DrewMcCormick expedition for archaeological work in Tell Balatah, Jordan.

According to Drew Magazine, in 1970, the university promoted him to full-time status, and then in 1968 appointed him the director of the Drew University Institute for Archaeological Research.

He worked at the university for 37 years before moving to McMinnville in 1993

when Vivian was named president of Linfield College.

During Vivian’s 13-year term, Rev. Bull was involved in the McMinnville community and had a presence on the Linfield campus.

He was a speaker during Hillside Manor Retirement Community’s learning series, led community prayer breakfasts and lectured at Linfield on various occasions.

After Vivian’s presidency at Linfield, the couple moved back to New Jersey in 2005. Vivian assumed the position of Drew University’s associate dean of the

College of Liberal Arts for the next eight years.

LAB reaches out to students with field day Olivia Marovich News editor Part of the welcome week program, Linfield Activities Board hosted a field day on Aug. 29 to inspire students to get more involved on campus.

Due to weather conditions, the event did not feature the outdoor activities of a rock-climbing wall, obstacle course, soccer or Frisbee.

Instead. LAB members gave out free ice cream, as well as pens and stickers to promote the organization.

“It wasn’t the type of event I had in mind, but we still got the word out about LAB,” said junior Allison Halley, ASLC vice president of programming and chair of LAB. “The event would have been a fun, energized way to meet people and get them involved.”

LAB offers students a wide array of free or inexpensive events during the year to get involved in campus life.

Events include free shows with professional comedians

and musicians, student performances and free movies in Ice Auditorium. They also offer trips to Trail Blazers’ basketball games, white-water rafting and local McMinnville restaurants.

“The events LAB throws are amazing,” Halley said.

“We offer so many great opportunities for students

“Our publicity is getting more expansive with The Den, Facebook, Wildcat Weekly and Twitter on top of our traditional way of publicizing,” Halley said. “We have plans to reach out to students monthly and really create a face for LAB that is posi-

The more people know us, the more they’ll want to support us, at least that is our hope!”

LAB members also advertise their organization by wearing shirts designed by junior Kacie Copeland, ASLC Secretary that have the slogan “Ask Me What’s Happening” printed on the back. They hope the shirts will get organization members and students talking more about the events on campus.

“The chairs that have been hired this year are so diverse.

They all represent a different part of the student population and will prove to be walking advertisements,” Halley said.

“I really want to be in the students’ faces this year.”

ASLC is still looking to fill positions in cabinet this year.

“It illustrated the similarity of embracing the unknown in performance to being something unteachable, and more something that comes with knowing yourself and the choreography given to you,” Brogan said.

Rounding out the competition in third place was Helen Lee. Her essay titled, “The Irrational Tenth: An Irrational Process with a Rational Basis,” earned her

a $150 gift certificate to the bookstore.

Guidelines for the contest asked the participants to define and discuss the significance and/or danger of the “irrational tenth,” include examples to support one or more position, considering the advantages and or disadvantages of indulging in the “irrational tenth,” and finally, to discuss possible outcomes and implications to the question.

Washington Monthly gives top rating a reception Linfield following the service.

Washington Monthly, a nonprofit magazine for politics and government, recently rated Linfield as a “Best Bang for Your Buck” school.

Linfield was included in the liberal arts section of the review, and was included in the list of schools that give lower income students the ability to earn a degree at an affordable price.

Washington Monthly

rates colleges annually based on criteria of fostering scientific and humanistic research, promoting an ethic service to country and how well it provides social mobility to students.

Only 349 schools out of the 1,572 colleges in the college rankings were part of the list.

Gold Rush hopes for rush of Linfield students

Sarah Mason/Copy chief

McMinnville has a new coffee shop in town.

On June 15, Gold Rush Coffee began serving their signature Italian Coffee and Soft pretzels to customers during their grand opening.

Gold Rush features a wide variety of beverages and a selection of warm snacks. The shop brews its own Italian blend of Caffé D’arte, a coffee roasting company located in Seattle. Gold Rush serves a bold drip coffee that is hand pressed, setting them apart from other coffee shops in town.

For those non-coffee drinkers they have fruit smoothies, Oreo Freezes, Italian sodas and tea drinks.

Gold Rush has an array of flavors including almond, Kahlua, Irish crème, passion fruit, and its featured fall flavors are pumpkin spice and salted caramel. The shop is open to new syrup flavor re-

crème and plain salted.

They even feature hot dogs wrapped in warm pretzels. Gold Rush also has assorted cookies, muffin tops and sandwiches.

Some of their most popular items are the Carmel Marvel and pizza pretzels.

“We have a good tasting coffee that isn’t just all sugar,” junior Tori Nickerson said, a barista at Gold Rush. “We brew a high quality coffee and many items on our menu are not sold at other coffee shops in town. I think our coffee is definitely worth trying.”

Nickerson’s classmate and sorority sister, junior Carlie Price, is also a barista at Gold Rush.

The two are excited for Gold Rush’s dollar discount day for those girls wearing letters from one of Linfield’s four sororities on the Wednesday during recruitment, Sept.

11.

The local shop wants to show support for Linfield’s Greek System.

The Gold Rush baristas describe Tom Hunt, the owner of the shop as generous and experienced in the restaurant business.

“He has a few deals in the work,” barista Kate Blanchard said, who is a student at Chemeketa

Community College. “He is super generous, and very open to specials and other promotions.”

The shop is located on Highway 99 in the parking lot of AutoZone.

“I think that because we are located in the middle of town, we don’t get as many Linfield students customers,” Price said.

The new Starbucks on campus is a convenient espresso stop for students; however, the baristas argue that Gold Rush’s prices are lower than most shops in town and their menu items are different.

“I think it would be really cool to have Linfield students more frequently at Gold Rush,” Nickerson said. “Coffee is an important part of a students life and we want to help students satisfy their cravings.”

For information about specials follow Gold Rush on Twitter @GoldRushMac and like their Facebook page Gold Rush Coffee Co.

Gold Rush’s hours are Monday thru Thursday 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 5:30 to 9 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

News flash: you are a grown up

Graphic by Lauren Pak/Graphics designer Paige Jergueson/Columnist

Take a “fun” class

You are going to be treated like an adult, so you might as well act like it. Seeing a student get mad at a professor when they will not let them turn in an assignment late or lowers their grade for consistently skipping classes. Although, most Linfield educators are friendly and, generally, tend to care about their students’ well-being, it is not their job to hold your hand and make sure you do your assignments. Do not senselessly hate on a professor because they expect you to meet the requirements of the class. Do not think that you are some sort of special snowflake that can turn in work and show up to class whenever you feel like it. Surprisingly, professors actually know what they are doing and definitely know more about life than you do. Stay classy and do not start a blood feud with a professor that gave you a poor grade on a poorly done essay.

College is four years of your life, which is a lot of time and a lot of classes. Of course, Call your mama it is always important to focus on your major or whoever cherished you as a and minor, but it is also important to branch small child, on a regular basis. out. The entire point of a liberal arts college They love and miss you and want is being able to explore the different realms to make sure that you are eatof subjects that exist. Consider taking a class ing and not getting herpes. You on the sole basis that it sounds fun. So what would be surprised how happy it if the class is not a major requirement or will make your parents if you call a part of the Linfield Curriculum requirethem out of the blue, do not end ments? College is your time and your life so the conversation asking for monyou should be trying to enjoy it, at least a ey. This rule does not only apply little bit. The worse thing that could happen to freshman, but to everyone. is that you really do not care about poetry.

The best thing that could happen is that you could unlock a hidden talent for painting and become the next Van Gogh. No one should be taking 16 credits of difficult classes that keep them up at night. Learning is important, but Don’t over extend yourself. so is enjoying what you learn about.

So, you just pledged to join a sorority or a fraternity? Plus you work ten hours a week on top of a full credit load? And you signed up for several clubs? Spoiler alert: you are going to burn out. Having a social life and hobbies is awesome, but there is nothing wrong with getting into pajamas at four in the afternoon and having a quiet evening in. So, always leave time in your weekly schedule to relax because you will need the time to breathe as the semester goes on and the workload grows. There is so much to do at Linfield, both academically and socially, but it is impossible to do it all and keep your sanity. Try taking one or two evenings a week to do nothing. Catch up on your favorite Netflix series and get a good night’s rest. Your body and your soul will thank you for the break.

Take notes like your life depends on it.

Joey Gale Senior

The biggest lie ever to one’s self during an hour and a half lecture on a subject that one was supposed to read about, but did not, is “I will remember it.”

Write down everything. If the professor took the time to add it onto a powerpoint or takes the breath to mention it during class, chances are, it is important.

Furthermore, after fifteen weeks of monotonous lectures and attempting to “remember it,” you will not remember anything, especially during finals week when you’re trying to remember (or learn) a semester’s worth of knowledge. Fall semester of freshman year is the time to learn how to learn in college. Set up solid study habits now because later will most likely be too late.

Although it is not true for all classes, it is generally a solid rule of thumb to keep, and cherish, a course’s syllabus. Many syllabi, especially the eightpaged heifers, include exam dates, reading lists, office hours, and pretty much anything else you might need to know.

Treat yo’ self.

Linfield classes expect a lot of hard work from their students and as the semester goes on, the work will only get harder and more infuriating. This means, that breaks and treats are completely justifiable and necessary to success. Reward yourself for surviving a test or a particularly rough day. Grab a treat from the new Starbucks in between classes or, if your style is more ‘go big or go home’, pig out on your favorite fast food meal without caring about the excessive amount of calories. School is hard and life is hard. Sometimes a brownie or a burger or a manicure or a milkshake will make life a little less hard. Most importantly, never feel guilty about a treat. Remember: you are a beautiful human being that works hard and deserves nice things for your efforts, be it writing an essay of simply getting out of bed.

However, this does not necessarily mean testing your liver’s limits every weekends. No one wants to be the person that has thrown up in the dorm hallways more times than is socially acceptable.

Alissa Runyon Sophomore

Let high school go.

Michael Burk Junior

Congratulations, you make it through high school and have matriculated onto something grander and way more expensive. The worst thing anyone can ever do ever is not letting the past be the past. Do not stay hung up on the kids you went to high school with, especially if you are never going to see them again. Go ahead and change who you were in high school if you want to. No one here knows about what a dork you were.

Never compare your life to someone you once knew. It does not matter if someone else has a better GPA than you or is seemingly more active in their college years than you. Focus on your life. The one exception to this rule is Facebook stalking people that used to be mean to you from time to time and saying, “Well, at least I’m not pregnant.”

Furthermore, and this may sound brutal, if you have a significant other that you went to high school with, who may still go to high school, chances are it is not going to work out.

One, or both of you will find someone new and more exciting.

Sometime during the semester, or possibly the next month, you will realize that your promise ring does not mean squat. If you feel like someone from your past is tying you down then let you go because you do not need negativity in your life.

Wine expert educates community on viticulture Mariah Gonzales Culture editor

Professor Gregory Jones of the Environmental Studies Department at Southern Oregon University will be giving a lecture on how climate change has affected the growth of grapevines, and in turn, the production and quality of wine. The lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 11 in Ice Auditorium.

Jones has spent the last two decades studying wine and grape production.

He has done analysis on the climate and soil of many Oregon regions and has determined different varietals of grapes that can grow in such places. For instance, from his analysis of the oil and climate in the Bear Creek Valley, Jones determined that Merlot, Syrah and Viogneir grapes could be grown there due to a warmer climate in this region.

These grape types have expanded the grape varietals that are typically grown in Oregon, which include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.

The climate is continually warming, which has allowed the wine industry to expand to Oregon. Such climate change can create future

“In the 50s and 60s it was almost impossible to grow wine grapes in Oregon,” Jones said.

Jones has done a variety of projects pertaining to viticulture in other countries, he even received a fellowship to do work in Australia. He also studied port wine during a year long sabbatical in the Douro Valley located in Portugal.

In 2009, Jones won Person of the Year from Oregon Wine Press Magazine and was named one of the top 50 Influential People in the wine world by Decanter Magazine.

Currently, Jones is working on projects in Spain, China and Italy. He also teaches a few classes at Southern Oregon University, including meteorology and Scientology.

Jones is also working on a book about regional grape growing in Oregon.

Among all these duties, Jones still finds some freetime to enjoy going to the coast and mountain biking with his wife and two sons.

“We are sports oriented people,” Jones said.

Jones also enjoys drinking his wine as much as he enjoys studying its cultivation. Jones’ interest in wine was sparked during his first

career as a chef.

“Wine is like food,” Jones said, who made it a priority to learn about wine and food pairing in the kitchen.

“Wine was a big part of

what I did in the kitchen.”

Jones also drinks wines to the season. He drinks red wines in the winter and lighter wines in the summer.

But when asked what his

favorite wine was Jones said, “I can say that I like good wine.”

The talk was followed by a showcase of Wei’s artwork in Miller Fine Arts Center.

Wei’s gallery consisted of multiple works and photographs based on self-expression. A portion of the gallery focused on an old method of Chinese medicine called Cupping Therapy, which is used to relieve bodily tension. She learned this practice while growing up in Taiwan.

“I have [a] desire to express my Chinese self,” Wei said.

Wei was born and raised in Taiwan.

“I am a descendant of Chinese immigrants from China,” Wei said. “I look different and sound different than the Taiwanese.”

She received her bachelor degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and obtained her master degree in art photography from Syracuse University. Wei is also a professor at Pacific Northwest College of Art. “I think Wei’s photographs of the Cupping

Therapy are a unique way of showing the historical significance of her culture,” audience member Dan Hellinger said.

Wei also displayed another set of photographs that contrasted with her pictures of Chinese self-expression.

These photographs were of opaque socks on women’s feet. The socks are worn by mostly lower-class Chinese women who have the belief that the socks are transparent.

“It represents Chinese

philosophy of contradiction between opaque and transparent, [the Chinese] find a way to have [the two terms] coexist,” Wei said.

“To believe that something is transparent when it is not is delusional.”

Wei also discussed the differences between the American and Chinese cultures.

American artists create artwork that stands out, which reflects individuality in the culture. However, Chinese culture is more collective and unified which is reflected

in the art. Wei said that she learned Chinese art in school by copying her teachers and doing exactly what they did.

Wei attempts to create portraits that do not portray negative messages, but instead expresses the differences between her two cultures. “I liked how she portrayed strong passion about her culture and showed it in her artwork,” junior Isabella Porporato said.

asked Frost, “I know eating organics is really good for you compared to conventional methods, but it’s usually more expensive; what advice would you give to help students eat organic on a college budget?”

Students who came to this discussion left concerned about the food they eat, but also questioning the affordability of an organic lifestyle while in college.

Duncan Reid, the sustainability coordinator at Linfield, encouraged people to “create a culture out of sharing food and participating in the Linfield Garden.”

Many students do not know about the Linfield Garden, or that they can simply walk in and take produce.

Junior Danielle Grenier urges students to contribute to this culture.

“If you ever want to host

an organic food cooking party where you cook a whole bunch of food from the Linfield Garden, go talk to your residence advisor. We would get that all paid for and you don’t need to worry about for organic prices. This is definitely something that could happen, but we just need student interest. We’d be happy to facilitate all the intermediate steps,” Grenier said.

Freshman Kadie ToddDurfee and others who participated in the “War on Agriculture” discussion are at different stages of involvement in sustainable agriculture, but the overwhelming amount of them said they would join the Garden Club as a direct result of Frost’s talk.

Former organic farmer fights genetically modified organisms Helen Lee Photo editor

Scott Frost, an Oregon organic farmer for 38 years impressed a message to Linfield students about the importance of eating organic; both for health reasons and to support local communities on Sept. 5 . He speaks out against genetically modified organism-based companies such as Monsanto, and he acts as a proponent of organic farming.

Frost took the audience through a brief summary of United States industrial agriculture, pointing out that some of its fundamental elements have roots in warfare, such as the cyanide-based pesticide Zyklon B, which was used in Nazi gas chambers.

“We ingest 8,000 to 10,000 chemicals per day in our food supply, and not many of these

are actually useful or good.”

Frost said.

“After World War II, companies that produced cyanide-based gases and other products started selling to farmers,” Frost said. “Monsanto is the leading edge of the destruction of the world, and many of are familiar with all the things they have done.”

Frost went on to stress the current dangers of products used in industrial agriculture, citing recent bombing cases.

“Do you know what the Oklahoma City bomber used?

Community, students support an organic Linfield Ryan Morgan Senior Reporter The office of sustainability drums up support for a new project to organize an organic farm on campus.

Several members from the office of sustainability participated in “The Sustainable Food Systems Internship Program” over the summer, working with several local farms to examine their natural production techniques.

Zena farm was one of the first farms that interns visited, which is supported

by Willamette University.

Zena is completely student-run and has already been integrated into Willamette’s food distribution system. Those at the office of sustainability hope to model a new organic farm for Linfield, modeled after Zena and Willamette.

Junior Sofia Webster helped organize the campus farmers market in an effort to raise awareness and support for a new organic garden on Sept. 3, and felt that Linfield might even “have a better chance [for an organic farm than Willamette] because we have a lot of space...and... such a small student body, so we can get word out really easily.”

The farmers market, which featured booths from the Linfield community

garden as well as several other of the local organic farms that interns visited during the summer, including Gaining Ground Farm and River Ridge Farm, was a success in raising awareness for a new organic farm.

“There’s obviously a desire from the student body to have fresh local food,” Webster said.

An unofficial poll tallied on a blackboard at the event showed a total of 59 people in favor of an organic garden, with nobody openly opposed to the idea and only three people requested more information on the subject.

A second blackboard at the event encouraged student involvement by asking “What would a farm at Linfield mean to you?”

Some of the chalky, handscrawled answers helped reflect the overwhelmingly positive response to a campus farm: “I’d know what I’m eating;” “Healthy students;” “Fresh food for students;” “Fresh fruit for home cooking.”

“A farm could be a good way to show that [Linfield] is a part of this agricultural area that we kind of have been displaced from as an institution,” Webster said. “I don’t think [there is] much of a [connection] between the two, but there’s a huge...opportunity there for us to be part of it.”

Ryan Morgan/Senior reporter Students vote on whether the Linfield’s Farmers Market was a success. A majority of the number of tallies in favor of an organic farm on campus, showing student’s enthusiasm toward an organic Linfield.

The market may become a permanent fixture of campus life depending on the interest of the farms who were involved and student support.

“Whatever form of farm...on Linfield campus... [or] near Linfield campus there’s going to be students who benefit greatly.

Administrators and staff, as well,” Webster said.

Multicultural department creates internship opportunities Mariah Gonzales Culture Editor Linfield College’s Multicultural Department recently created an internship position.

Amy Bumatai, a recent graduate of Linfield College, is the first person to hold this title.

One of Bumatai’s main duties is advising studentlead multicultural groups.

Director of Multicultural Programs, Jason Rodriqguez, and Bumatai help to direct such groups with event planning and other major projects or tasks.

For instance, Bumatai is assisting multicultural student organizations with big projects, including Hispanic Heritage Day, Native American Heritage Month and Multicultural Reception.

Bumatai said that her job also includes helping people and students understand culture and diversity. She also acts as the multicultural department’s receptionist.

One of Bumatai’s main projects is helping to develop and establish mentor

and mentee relationships between Linfield’s freshmen and upper classmen through Linfield’s new Wildcat Intercultural Network (WIN) Program.

The multicultural internship was created with the recent expansion of Linfield’s Multicultural Programs Department that has moved to the third floor of Riley Hall.

“We are constantly [expanding] the office and looking for ways to celebrate the wonderful diversity at Linfield College,” said Rodriguez.

Rodriguez has worked with Bumatai for the past two years while she was cochair for Linfield’s Hawaiian Club’s Lu’au. This is where he noticed Bumatai’s strong work ethic, positive attitude and ideas for diversity and multiculturalism at Linfield.

“Brenda DeVore Marshall recommended Amy chat with me about my career path and opportunities in Multicultural Programs and next thing you know, Amy is the intern for Multicultural Programs,” Rodriguez said.

Bumatai graduated with a major in intercultural communications from Linfield in May 2013. She wrote her thesis on diversity and higher education.

“I really like student affairs and working with college groups,” Bumatai said.

Another one of Bumatai’s current projects is working with the Asian American Alliance group to create a Chinese New Year event. She is helping the group take the necessary steps to make it a campus wide event.

The Multicultural internship has a chance of being offered next year in Linfield’s Multicultural Programs department.

“It is my hope that eventually there will be an Assistant Director or Program Coordinator of Multicultural Programs as a professional position in addition to an intern,” Rodriguez said.

“Choke” on Victor Mancini’s sexist troubles Paige Jurgensen Staff writer Chuck Palahniuk’s 2001 novel, “Choke,” is an oddly satisfying cocktail of sexual depravity, psychological conundrums and wasted food.

When his mentally unstable mother becomes fatally ill, Victor Mancini quits medical school and begins a slightly more lucrative endeavor: pretending to choke in order to have someone save him.

The logic behind Victor’s madness is that when someone saves him, they automatically feel responsible

“Choke” is based off true stories from author’s sex anonymous meetings. for him and sometimes, his overdue bills.

However, Victor is not

tricking his saviors for selfish purposes; he uses all the money he collects in order to pay for his mother’s hospital bills.

Ms. Mancini, Victor’s insane mother, who often doesn’t even recognize her own son, is housed in a hospice center and treated by the very inventive, and very pretty, Dr. Marshall.

Victor’s mother is not always shown as a dying woman, but in addition to the first person account of Victor’s story, the novel includes a series of flashbacks, usually involving his mother liberating him from a foster family.

When Victor is not dying in public, he is working as a tour guide for a living history museum with his best friend, Denny, or making new friends at sex addicts’ anonymous meetings, where he is fervently avoiding his fourth step.

Victor’s story is not one a directional journey and does not necessarily have a distinct beginning, middle, or end but his is a tale of selfsabotaging self-discovery.

Like many of Palahniuk’s characters, Victor is often lost in existential thought.

He often wonders what the value of his existence is and theories about why he

finds it necessary to insert himself into anyone that will allow him to do so.

Unfortunately for the reader, Victor is very much an unlikable character.

Because of his unstable childhood, he is unable, and perhaps unwilling, to maintain a healthy or lasting relationship with a woman.

He is a manipulative sexist who does not have a plan for his life. Essentially, he is that one guy that everyone regrets dating.

Palahniuk, a Washingtonian and alumni of the University of Oregon, is an award winning author whose immense work of

literature has inspired three films.

His hobbies include travel observing addiction support groups.

Much of the novel is based off of stories that Palahniuk heard while he was in sex addicts’ anonymous meetings, which he frequented as a form of research.

Which, as is common knowledge to Palahniuk fans, is also a large part of his most famous novel, and later film, “Fight Club.”

Sustainability: big part of Linfield Duncan Reid For the Review Welcome back, Wildcats!

I hope you are all ready for a great new school year. This year we have a lot on tap as far as sustainability projects and events go. But first I believe an introduction is in order. My name is Duncan Reid, and I am the Sustainability Coordinator here at Linfield College. I graduated from Linfield in 2010 and I now serve the community by working with students, faculty and staff on sustainability projects of all kinds.

You can consider me to be your sustainability counselor of sorts.

If you have questions about sustainability programs or simply want to discuss an idea please do not hesitate to reach out and contact me. You can

usually find me in my office (Cozine 109), in the garden or walking around campus.

Come and say hi sometime!

For those of you who are new to our campus community, you may have noticed that sustainability is an integral part of our community at Linfield. The Green Team talked to colloquium groups during your orientation programs and provided opportunities for recycling and composting at the welcome picnic. For those of you who I haven’t had the chance to get to know here are a few things that are happening this year with sustainability: First off, as a part of our Zero Waste project, we are piloting a few new recycling and composting bins in a few buildings on campus including Elkinton, Frerichs, T.J. Day, HHPA

and Riley. New bins will also shortly be featured outside of Dillin next to the solar powered trash compactor. Please help us by using these bins properly.

If you have questions or comments about these we would love to hear them.

You can also look out for opportunities to participate in these new systems at upcoming campus events.

One thing to note about the compost: our compost goes to feed local pigs so please do not throw anything in there that a pig couldn’t eat. Thank you in advance for helping us reach Zero Waste!

This week has been busy for our office. Thank you to all of you who have come out to participate in the farmer’s market, the wood fired pizza dinner, the lecture on “The War on Agri-

culture” and the gardening workshop. These are just the first of many events that we have already planned for this semester.

Coming up this month: 9/13-15, 2 p.m. Friday–2 p.m. Sunday, Greenfield Retreat, Westwind (Oregon Coast) 9/18, 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m., Sustainable Agriculture Internship Presentation, T.J. Day 219 9/22, 3 p.m.-5 p.m., Composting Workshop, Renshaw 106 Feel free to contact me for more information about any of this.

Wildcats run ahead at preseason meets Ivanna Tucker For the Review The cross country team has shown a strong start to its season with the men’s and women’s teams having high placements at meets.

Both finished first at the Linfield Harrier Classic on Sept. 7, a dual meet against George Fox University.

On the women’s side, they had superior performances despite missing key runners.

Senior returner Hannah Greider finished in the top spot with 24 minutes, 28.01 seconds, only 11 seconds in front of the George Fox runner. Freshman Marisa Kume finished in third in her second college career performance.

Seniors Katie Skinner, Claire Hann and junior Madison Trowbridge rounded out the top-10 finished for the Wildcats.

On the men’s side, senior Joe Gladow led the 8K, finishing first with a time of 27 minutes, 12.05 seconds.

Freshman Michael O’Neil trailed in behind Gladow, claiming second.

Soccer: Looking strong in preseason games

Juniors Flint Martino, Calvin Howell, freshmen Chris Roth and Adrian Clifford also finished in the top-10 for the Wildcats.

“We ran well but we expect better performances out of ourselves,” junior Chad Linnerooth said.

At the Lewis & Clark University Dual Meet on Aug. 30, Gladow and senior Siena Noe were the top runners for the Wildcats.

Noe finished with the time of 19 minutes, 13.4 seconds. Gladow was in control during the majority of the race but Pioneers’ runner Jarrod Nixon came up from behind near the end forcing him to finish in second with 21 minutes, 15.3 seconds.

The men’s and women’s scores were combined at this meet, which the Wildcats lost by one point.

After first race, the cross country team takes a trip to Camp Kiwanilong in Astoria, Ore. They hang out as a team and also participate in a run that is a Linfield tradition.

Assistant coaches Greg Mitchell and Chris McIsaac

also ran it when they were on the team.

“Camp is a great place to foster team building,” junior Ian Lundgren said.

“It’s all about time. At the midpoint of the time, we have to turnaround.”

The team together runs three miles to get to the location, do an interval workout and then run thethree miles back.

Team members’ interval workout goal is to make it to a jetty near shore shoreline by the halfway point of the workout and then make it back to where they started in a certain amount of time.

“It’s a hard workout that not many can complete, only a handful of male runners can complete the workout every year,” Linnerooth said. “Only one female has actually touched the jetty in time.”

The Wildcats will next compete at the Northwest Classic in Eugene, Ore. On Sept. 20 at 5:15 p.m.

Womens’ soccer starts off season undefeated

Helen Lee/Photo Editor Senior Emily Fellows scores a goal against Howard Payne at the Aug. 31 which the wildcast won 4-0. The girls go into the next rounds of games undeafeated as they talke on Pacific Unifersity on sept. 18.

Drew Mahrt Sports Reporter Linfield’s women soccer team started their 2013 season off strong with a win, defeating Warner Pacific 3-1.

After a slow start being down 1-0 going into the half, the Wildcats came out with a vengeance in the second where precision accuracy with their passes and well placed shots on goal eventu-

ally put them in the lead.

Senior Emily Fellows got the Cats started, scoring their first two goals within seconds of each other, and sophomore Tegan Grunwald gave the team an insurance goal a few minutes later.

It was then the defense who ultimately kept Linfield ahead with a few excellent stops by the goalkeepers, sophomore Kallina Haase and senior Amy

Hammerquist, and lockdown defense from the entire team.

Linfield won its second game of the year as well. The first half put them up 4-0 and they kept that momentum going into the second playing perfect defense yet again and holding Howard Payne scoreless.

They went on to score one more goal, giving them a 5-0 victory and improving

their so far flawless record to 2-0.

Fellow recorded another goal for the Wildcats, her third of the season, giving her a 1.5 goals-per-game scoring average after her first two games.

The Wildcats also got some help off of their bench, with juniors Laurel Huth and Emily Ing scoring their first goals of the season.

Coach Dominic Doty’s

New head women’s tennis coach aims to win conference Samantha Sigler Editor-In-Chief After ending last season on an off-note, Linfield’s women’s tennis team has high hopes and expectations for their new head coach this season, and vice versa.

Lisa Macy-Baker, Linfield’s new NCAA Compliance Officer and head women’s tennis coach, has spent the last 12 years working as both a special education teacher and a women’s tennis coach at Mountain View High School in Bend, Ore., McMinnville High School and Duniway Middle School in McMinnville.

“So far Lisa is well liked by our team,” junior Gretchen Jernstedt said in an email. “I think she will bring some fresh ideas and plans, while also staying open to our feedback.”

Macy-Baker was “born and bred” in McMinnville and has been playing tennis competitively since her freshmen year of high school. Macy-Baker considers it her “first love” in regards to sports.

“I took my first private lesson from Linfield’s number one tennis player at the time,” Macy-Baker said.

Macy-Baker grew up in McMinnville and later attended Oregon State University after receiving a full-ride basketball scholarship. She played basketball her freshmen year, but quit due to the lack of support she received from her coaches while they were under investigation for violations.

“I learned a lot from that exper i e n c e and it helps me now as a coach,” M a c y B a k e r said.

“I know that I want to make sure my freshmen are well supported and well taken care of.”

Macy-Baker plans to meet with freshmen players on a weekly basis to ensure they are receiving the nec-

essary support to succeed— not only on the courts, but in the classroom as well.

Other plans for the sixweek fall season include player perform a n c e evaluations, spring season preparation and outdoor practices as often as possible before the rainy season.

“Our long-term plans are to maintain the excellence that has been this program,” Macy-Baker said.

I learned a lot from that experience and it helps me now as a coach.

- Lisa Macy-Baker

”

“Last year was a bit of an off year...But [if] you look at the history, they have won the conference [title] six out of the last 10 years.”

Practices are scheduled everyday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. She has also planned various 6:00 a.m. conditioning sessions and time for weight lifting. According to Jernstedt, this year’s practice schedule is slightly different than last year’s.

The women’s tennis will play their first preseason tournament in late September, and will have various inter-squad matches throughout the season.

Macy-Baker also plans to have the team participate in McMinnville’s Runtoberfest, a community run on Oct. 5 that raises money for the McMinnville Education Foundation.

“We want to optimize the team experience,” Macy-Baker said. “Tennis is often viewed as an individual sport, but the way it’s set up at this level, it is truly a team sport.”

Samantha Sigler can be reached at linfieldreviewseditor@gmail.com.

Wildcats, projected to finish as the number one team in the Northwest Conference, are definitely meeting standards so far this season with a total point differential of 8-1.

The women’s soccer team hopes keep up this hot start through the rest of the season and prove the projections right by finishing on top.

Linfield’s next matchup

is against Oregon Technical Institute on Sept. 11, as well as their next game against Corban University Sept. 14, will be played away from Linfield.

They play at home again on Sept. 18 at game will be at 7:00 p.m. against Pacific University.

Wildcats score despite being short on numbers Stephanie Hofmann Sports Editor

The volleyball team may be a few girls short, but that isn’t stopping them this season.

The team has been preparing for this season for the past couple of weeks with practices from 4-6 everyday and morning weight lifting practices a couple days a week.

“We want to focus on each play at a time,” Junior Audrey Frazier said. “One of our goals this year is to expect to work to win. We want to be successful and have committed to putting in the time and effort it is going to take to get there.“ The 14 member team went to the California Invitational on Sept. 6-7 on a high note with an undefeated preseason score of 3-0. They went to face new opponents and hone in on what the team needs to work on for the rest of the season.

“We will improve on our game from last weekend,” head volleyball coach Shane Kimura said. “There will be tougher teams there. We can see what are the teams’ strengths and weaknesses. We can also see what we need to

Photo courtesy of Kelly Bird Junior Kaliana Ritte-Camara prepares to stike the ball for a serve at Newberg, Ore. on Aug. 31. improve on when we come back.”

The teams’ next game is an exhibition match against Blue Mountain Community College at 7 p.m. on Sept. 10 at the Ted Wilson Gymnasium.

“Our main goal is to prove everyone wrong,” Frazier said. “We’re expected to finish eighth in conference this year, but we know we can do better and we plan on it.”

Football: Seperation’s not an option for twins << Continued from page 16

the third floor of Mahaffey.

In high school, despite taking different classes, the twins had the exact same grade point average, down to the thousandth.

Their free time is spent together of course, playing baseball, Mario Party with their older sister Amanda who goes to Oregon State University, shooting targets, hunting birds, squirrels and deer and fishing for salmon and trout in the Willamette River behind their house.

You would think that spending every waking moment with someone that looks and thinks the exact same way as you, would get annoying; however this is not the case for the Lewi.

“It’s weird when we tell

people that we never want space from each other,” Mitchell said. “Most siblings can’t stand to be around each other all the time, but for us its more weird when the other twin isn’t around.”

The longest the boys have spent apart is one week, which was during this past summer when Dylan participated in the Les Schwab Bowl for football.

“Mitch didn’t go, and it was terrible,” Dylan said.

“He sent me a text as soon as I left the driveway. A couple days after I left Mitch texted me that whenever he saw a picture of me around the house, he told me that he felt like he was trying to forget about me or like I had died or something.”

On rare occasions, the twins are apart. Mitch has a girlfriend, which often forces Dylan to be a third wheel while they hang out. Also,

the twins’ parents separated when they were 2 years old, forcing them to spend half of their time with their mom and half with their dad, sometimes splitting up for nights at a time.

“If we do split up it’s only for one night because thats all we can handle being away from each other,” Mitchell said. “We have been extremely fortunate in the sense because they still live close to each other, we still have family dinners and they still come to our scrimmages together, which makes it as easy as possible on us.”

According to the twins, there is absolutely nothing they don’t agree on. As freshman on the football team this year the Lewi want to be coachable, accept their roles on and off the field and practice hard all the time.

Sarah Mason/Copy Chief Dylan Lewis (right) and his twin Mitchell Lewis have done everything together, so going to Linfield together was always the plan. jersey number one from the safety position and Dylan will be number 13 from the corner position. The boys have been playing football since the first grade, and have been on the same team ever since. The Lewi broth-

ers love playing on the field at the same time, big surprise.

“People always ask me what its like to be a twin,” Mitchell said. “And I’m like what is it like to not be a twin?”

“People are like, “You guys are weirdly attached to each other,” Dylan said.

“And I’m always just like “Yep, you don’t really get it.”

Football team concludes preseason with competition

The football team competes in many competitions as an end of preseason tradition, such as the cannon ball contest, relay races and synchronized swimming.

Audience members scored the athletes in front of the whole school. This tradition took a new turn this year, by the team asking for donations to help local charities.

Helen Lee/Photo Editor Sophomore Josh Wong focuses on kicking the ball at the Aug. 31 game against Howard Payne, which the Wildcats won 2-0. The mens’ soccer team has gone through preseason undefeated landing them the third place in the Northwest Conference going into their next game Sept. 13.

Wildcats claws through preseason Ivanna Tucker For the Review Men’s soccer has taken off this season with a 3-0 record with twelve freshman on the roster.

The Wildcat goalkeepers, junior Grant Loriaux and freshman Jorge Rodriguez, had a clean sheet during the game against Walla Walla on Sept. 7, helping the Wildcats leave the Wolves scoreless 7-0.

Rodriguez made three saves and faced six of the Wolves’ goal

attempts in the second half. Loriaux also made a save in the first.

The offense dominated with five different players scoring goals for the Wildcats. Sophomore returning letter winner Domenico Del Prete and freshman Brian DeGrandmont both scored two goals.

Del Prete made the first goal of the game and DeGrandmont followed up with both of his goals back-to-back. With assists from freshman Nicholas Autencio and junior Jake Baker, the Wildcats’

helped send a penalty kick right in and gaining another goal for the team.

Autencio scored for the Wildcats less than a minute later. Del Prete scored the last goal of the game, making the gap even further for the Wolves.

The Wildcats started the weekend with a 2-1 win over Oregon Technical Institute on Sept. 6.

offense stayed strong with strong moves at the goal.

At the 29-minute mark, senior Michael Swain slid in a low kick in the right corner, giving the Wildcats a 4-0 lead by the break.

The Wolves’ defense tried to keep up with the ‘Cats already having nine goal attempts. In the second half, they continued to struggle to get onto the scoreboard.

Within minutes of the second half, the Wildcats seemed like they did not lose steam as Baker

Sarah Mason/Copy Chief The Lewis twins, Mitchell (left) and Dylan stand together from football to making the choice on where to go to college, they do it as one.

The Lewi finish each other’s sentences, share the same wardrobe, room together, take the exact same classes, are both freshman on Linfield’s football team and both never get tired of being around each other, like ever.

Freshmen Mitchell and Dylan Lewis are unmistakable identical twins. The twins are often referred to as “twin” or “Lewi,” a term derived from the plural of Lewis.

The twins both stand at six and a half feet tall and have light brown hair. One of the only noticeable differences between the two is a darker brown patch of hair on the back of Mitchell’s head, which is not visible under a football helmet.

“When we were born one of my toenails was painted red to keep us straight,” Mitchell said. “For all I know our parents could have confused us and I could be Dylan.”

The mixups never get old for the twins. Mitchell and Dylan are notorious for sneaking to the bathroom to swap clothing, causing confusion among their friends, babysitters, substitutes, sports opponents and teachers.

“We’re bad,” Dylan laughed.

“Its kind of funny and really easy to confuse people. Sometimes I have full conversations with people who think that I’m my brother and I just don’t even correct them.”

The confusion and double-takes surrounding the twins have continued since their arrival at Linfield four weeks ago for football. The

twins recalled their first week on campus, when they felt as if there wasn’t a single person who didn’t give them a second glance.

“Even the guys on the football team were a little surprised about how close we are,” Mitchell said. “I think they get it now that we consider ourselves a package deal.”

Playing football without each other in college was never even an option for the Lewi. In fact, the twins never even considered going to different colleges. When asked what it would have been like to play football with out each other, they answered in unison that they wouldn’t be playing if that were the case.

“Choosing a college was a group decision for us,” Mitchell said. “We visited University of Oregon and Western Oregon University, but we didn’t feel like they were schools we wanted to spend the next four years at together. ” The Lewis brothers felt good vibes from the football coaching staff and players at Linfield.

“We liked Linfield because the team is close and feels like a family,” Dylan said. “The community felt similar to Sheldon High School, where we just graduated from.”

In addition to their identical looks and shared interest of football, they have identical academic goals and hobbies. They are both majoring in business, have the same class schedule, work on homework together and even share a room on >> Please see Football page 15
