UN comes to Linfield, offers opportunities

By Elizabeth Stoeger Staff Writer The Linfield United Nations Association (UNA) chapter, which was founded and is run by students, is the first and only collegiate chapter in Oregon.

Bella Aung, ’18, is president and founder of UNA: Linfield chapter. She began the process of creating a chapter with a phone call to UNA headquarters in Washington, D.C. “I wanted to install an official United Nations Association chapter at Linfield because as a social science major with an interest in working with International non-profits, I find it very difficult to find appropriate networking opportunities in McMinnville. I also wanted to contribute to the diversity and awareness of pressing global issues on campus,” said Aung.

Once she made the initial call and was approved, she recruited a team of three students in leadership

positions as well as 10 official members. They also had to create a social media presence.

The entire process took about three months with UNA headquarters, then the chapter had to be approved by ASLC. The goal of UNA is to “contribute to the United Nations’ humanitarian and advocacy work all over the world, increase awareness of international politics and social issues, and offer students opportunities to engage in intellectual discussions about various global events,” Aung said.

Kiana Ringuette, ’17, co-founder and vice president, added that the objective was “to really connect students with broader global issues that are priorities for the United Nations—and hopefully to make a contribution to those causes.”

As vice president, Ringuette will help plan activities, work out logistical details, and recruit new members. She is most looking forward to all the events and “really engag-

ing students from a variety of backgrounds.”

Ringuette said, “I hope this will bring an awareness to the Linfield community, that students will realize the importance and relevance of issues such as the refugee crisis.”

“Given Linfield’s emphasis on study abroad and global awareness, I think this will naturally fit the aims of students who want to broaden their perspectives and learn more about international projects.”

Abby Thomas, ‘17 is the new treasurer for the UNA-Linfield chapter.

“I got involved this summer when a few fellow Linfield students reached out to me about the opportunity,” she said when asked about how she began being interested in helping start the Linfield chapter. When asked about what she was looking forwards to most, Thomas had this to say: “I’m exited to meet more students on campus, hopefully have some great political discussions that go beyond just our current election.

We have so many bright students

here, and I would hope this could engage and bring an outlet for many of those who want to pursue international careers or just gain a broader and better understanding of our world and their place in it.”

To get involved, students can attend monthly events and participate on social media. To become a member, contact Ringuette (kringue@ linfield.edu) with any questions regarding membership or how to get started.

Membership is free for any student under 25.

The first Linfield UNA event will be on Oct. 24 at 5 p.m. in Riley 201. Micah Spangler from UNA headquarters will “bring awareness of the refugee crisis and how students can help via the United Nations Association chapters,” said Aung. Light refreshments will also be served.

Associated students of Linfield College also known as ASLC built a smartphone application for the Linfield community.

ASLC is the student-run government organization committed to ensuring that student’s voices are heard at Linfield.

Besides advocating for the student’s voices, ASLC is improving on campus communications.

“The application was launched this summer after successful team work from the ASLC board of creating ideas and designing templates “ said Cruz Morely, VP of the programming.

The ASLC agenda includes giving the student body better access to the events happening on campus streamlining communications with clubs and other student activities.

The app also decreases the number of emails to students and allow clubs another opportunity for event publicity.

The contemporary app has all the features that are involved with ASLC, such as, the Cabinet, Senate, Linfield College Activities Team (LCAT), and ASLC sponsored clubs like the Active Minds at Linfield College, French Club and more.

Other interesting features inclue Intramural Sports (IM), Highlight Reel, Events, and Social Media where you can get linked up with Facebook and Twitter.

Baiss Kopecka ‘18 believes that the app “is very user friendly and simple. I love the calendars and how you can subscribe to one” The notification policy is the latest feature. With the app on your smartphone you can always get updates of events scheduled to happen.

“I feel more involved on campus, and it gives me something to do. This is pretty important to me, allowing me to get involved and meet new people” stated Jacob Andrews, ‘20.

I would encourage everyone associated with ASLC to download the app, as so far more than 600 people have had the app installed in their phones.

EDITORIAL

Do not appropriate others in your Halloween costume, respect students

Next weekend is Halloween, and The Linfield Review would like to remind our student-body about appropriate Halloween attire. The term cultural appropriation should be addressed on our campus and throughout the entire country. Cultural appropriation can be simplified as dressing up to look like a particular culture for non-traditional events.

Some do not consider it disrespectful, but there has been a long history of Americans dressing up as other cultures from lengths of mockery to the world of fashion. Examples of cultures being depicted in the fashion industry include tribal prints on clothes. People buy these things because they like the print but often lack understanding of the prints historical context or meaning. Another example of cultural appropriation is black face, where people paint their faces or bodies to play the of

an African American charachter for the night.

The issue is that cultures are not something for people to act out and enjoy “for the night” because with culture there are traditions, history, and oppressions that many of these true natives do not get accredited or respected for.

You might look extremely cute in that hula skirt, sombrero, afro, or feather headdress; but these are people’s cultures, which you are not respecting by playing “dress up” with. There are a lot of oppressions minority have experienced in America, including their cultures being frowned upon and unaccepted.

For someone that has not experienced these oppressions, and to dress up as a culture they lack the respect and understanding of, is bluntly cultural appropriation.

Cultural appropriation happens outside of Halloween, and can be seen on a daily basis.

For instance, many black natural hairstyles such as afros, braids and curls have not been emitted socially acceptable in America’s history. They have even been implied as unacceptable and unprofessional in the “workplace,” but when the Kardashians start wearing cornrows and Marc Jacobs models strut with dreadlocks, these styles are all of a sudden beautiful and creative.

Let’s remember that one’s culture is not your fashion show. Please, do not dress up as somebody else’s culture for the benefit of your one night costume and Instagram post! After all, Halloween is supposed to be filled with jokes, scares and dress up- but not another person’s culture.

Election review: Donald Trump is no man Leonard Pitts Jr. Tribune News Service

Look, I’m a guy, all right?

So I’ve spent a lot of time doing guy things in guy places: barbershops, locker rooms, even men’s prisons. Back during my music critic days, I hung out backstage with a veritable army of rock lords and soul men.

But I have never, not ever, not once, heard a man speak the way Donald Trump and Billy Bush do in that 2005 outtake from “Access Hollywood” that was unearthed Friday

by The Washington Post. You’ve seen it, I’ve seen it, alien creatures in Alpha Centauri have seen it, the astounding clip that required the august New York Times to use the f-bomb and occasioned a lively live debate on CNN over repetition of a certain feline synonym for the female genitalia.

In the clip, Trump speaks with casual crudity about his propensity for sexual assault, about how he kisses women without permission as though their bodies were his entitle-

ment, how he grabs them by the pudenda like, one assumes, grabbing one’s dog by the leash, one’s bag by the handle or otherwise taking control of one’s property.

“And when you’re a star,” he says, “they let you do it. You can do anything.” All while Bush is giggling dementedly along, playing Milhouse to Trump’s Bart Simpson — except that Bart has a better moral compass and Milhouse a sturdier backbone.

A day later, CNN reported on a 2004 radio interview in which Howard Stern wonders if it’s OK to call Trump’s daughter Ivanka “a piece of a--,” and Trump says, wistfully, “yeah.” It’s hard for me to conceive of any father who wouldn’t want to smash the face of the man who described his daughter thus, but Trump goes with it.

His defense to all of this, echoed by his coterie of sycophants, is that boys will be boys. It’s just “locker room” talk, they say.

It ought not be news to anyone by now that the Republican nominee for president is a sentient tower of excrement in a red power tie. But for-

give me if, as a guy, I take particular offense at his attempt to conscript me and mine as conspirators in his loathsomeness, to make us guys human shields for his repugnant juvenility.

Don’t get me wrong. I claim no sainthood for my gender. We are not strangers to raunch. And I’m sure your average server at Hooters could tell tales of male misbehavior that could curdle your milk.

But nonchalantly boasting about sexual assault? Casually concurring with some professional letch that demeans your very own daughter to your very own face?

Don’t put that on us. There is nothing inherently male about that.

No, that behavior reflects the stunted emotional maturity of a then-59year-old frat boy, a pampered rich kid who never grew up.

And how telling is it that a raft of Republicans, headlined by Sen. John McCain and House Speaker Paul Ryan, has withdrawn support for their nominee since the video was released? They were able to stand with him through his bigotry, his Islamophobia, his bullying, his

misogyny, his mockery of a disabled man, his endorsement of violence, his manifest ignorance and his general noxiousness, but boasting of sexual assault was the deal breaker?

Why? Of course, those GOP leaders are all profiles in courage by comparison with the one in three American voters who still, astonishingly, consider this piece of scum worthy of the Oval Office.

Fine. That’s their right, and democracy requires no IQ test. But let them not rationalize Trump’s god awfulness by retreating into the fiction that this is just How Men Are. Donald Trump is no man. He’s just a really poor excuse for one.

Leonard Pitts Jr. is a Pulitzer Prize-winning, nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and author of multiple books.

Readers may write to him via email at lpitts@miamiherald.com. He is scheduled to speak at Linfield College in February.

How college students feel about making the first move

By Camille Botello Staff Writer USA Today recently released a study stating that while in college, 28 percent of students find their spouses, rising to 60 percent at religious affiliated schools.

Many students at Linfield and across the nation will meet their “other half” in college, but what’s often forgotten is how these relationships start. When questioned about making the first move, Linfield students openly offered their experiences.

In general, girls seem more scared of taking initiative.

“I think it’s a preconceived idea that girls are supposed to wait for

guys to make the first move,” one said. “It’s almost more masculine, making the first move.”

Question: Have you ever made the first move?

“I made the first move and he didn’t respond. I flirted and hinted and there was still no response, so I decided to give him one last chance. I kissed him the next time we hung out, and we’ve been together for almost a year.”

“Were you scared?”

“Oh yeah,” she laughed.

One girl in particular delved into the gender role aspect of making the first move.

“I think the media also plays a big part in it. In the movies you always see guys making the first

Surviving midterms Megan Ditore Staff Writer

It is that time of the year where everything seems a lot busier.

Midterms are upon us. There are many things you can do in order to fully prepare and tackle those mid semester tests.

One of the most important things to remember is to stay healthy; get a goodnight’s sleep, exercise and put foods in your body that will make you feel good; foods with high protein and low sugar. Try to be moderate with caffeine and drink lots of water. You need to be physically prepared for the exam.

Linfield Counsellors Amy Halloran-Steiner, Scott Kimura and Suzannah Townsend said break it down, “Break your day into chunks and schedule it up. Include meals, brain breaks, exercise and (of course) study blocks. Plan out for the week, then review your schedule for each day to make sure it suits your needs. Everything is more manageable when broken into pieces. Then just stick to the schedule!”

Go to class regularly so that you do not fall behind. If you have questions about a lecture, ask your professor. Most professors are more than willing to help. Also, stay caught up with your homework in order to fully understand what is going on you have to do your work

outside of the classroom too.

Do not cram the night before the exam. While this is the way many people study, it is not the most effective. Start a week in advance and cover different material at a nice pace to where you will recall what you have learned while taking the test.

Come up with a study plan; ask your peers if they want to study with you. Organize your thoughts on how you want to prepare for the test; make flashcards, an outline or just read out of the book, whatever is the best method for you.

Director of Student Health & Wellness Patricia Haddeland said, “stick to routines, when people are stressed, staying in familiar routines is both comforting and gives mental space for new knowledge.”

Don’t stress about your midterms, the counsellors said, “Keep it all in perspective. These are midterms and you will do your best.

Nothing is “make or break.” In a year, you won’t remember what you got on your midterms. Just calm down and try your best to show what you know. You are enough.”

Remember to smile, breathe, laugh and concentrate on passing those midterms.

Debate moderators critiqued Camille Botello Staff Writer Presidential debate moderators are the most important positions in the political journalism profession, more so this year because interest is at a high.

Lester Holt, the anchor of NBC Nightly News, hosted the first debate held on Sept. 26.

Holt struggled with controlling the pace of the debate, mostly due to constant interruptions by republican nominee Donald Trump.

Holt tried to let both Trump and democratic nominee Hillary Clinton answer their questions in full, which resulted in the debate going over time and the candidates, mostly Trump, taking advantage of Holt’s leniency.

The second debate was held on

Oct. 9, and co-hosted by ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Raddatz and Cooper weren’t tolerate of either candidate going over their time limit, interrupting, or not answering a question to their satisfaction. Their moderation style was more efficient and effective, and it made the debate easier to watch.

Chris Wallace, Fox News anchor, hosted the final debate on Oct. 19.

Wallace used his humor to dilute insults during the third debate, and held Clinton and Trump accountable for previous statements and scandals. He reminded audiences that voting is a privilege and it is what makes this country strong.

Election day is Nov. 8.

move on girls. If you’re a girl and get rejected it’s like it’s ten times worse because you not only went against societal ‘norms,’ but you also failed.”

When young men were asked about their opinions on making the first move, their answers were far more scattered.

“It’s just expected from society for us to make the first move so we’re just used to it,” one football player said.

“Sometimes you don’t know if someone’s interested or not, so if they make the first move it helps,” another revealed.

“Everything is open ended. I will ask a girl on a date, but if she gets to it first that’s cool. A girl

making the first move is attractive to me because it shows drive and courage,” one upperclassman stated.

Question: Are guys scared to make the first move?

“I think anyone finds it nervewracking to some degree,” one freshman confessed.

“I guess there’s always a healthy amount of nervousness, but if you’ve done it a few times it’s not as bad,” another said.

Question: How does it feel to have society putting pressure on guys to make the first move?

“It can be pretty frustrating, just the feeling of always having to put yourself out there when it should be more mutual,” on football play-

er said.

“I would appreciate girls making the first move more often. It should be more equal,” stated another.e.

There’s no definitive answer to the questions that inspired this investigation, but knowing that not many people find making the first move easy is comforting. It’s easy to silently crush, but a lot of the time it’s worth it to explore that interest further. As one optimistic girl said: “it sucks to get rejected, but it sucks to never try and never know.”

The election of scandals Camille Botello Staff Writer Scandals have been a part of United States politics throughout history. Past presidential scandals include President John F. Kennedy’s affair with Marilyn Monroe, the secret sale of weapons to Iran during the Reagan administration, burglars from President Nixon’s re-election campaign hired to wiretap phones and steal confidential documents in the Watergate hotel, and President Bill Clinton’s affair with his 22-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky.

This election cycle is no different. Both candidates have their fair share of scandals.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has been accused and convicted of multiple scandals throughout his career.

The most prevalent crime to date has been the many sexual assaults and vulgar comments about women. Trump was caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women recently, and is also facing a lawsuit against Jane

Doe who states that Trump raped her when she was 13, according to The Atlantic magazine.

It also states that Trump was sued by Jill Harth, a host of The American Dream beauty pageant, for sexual harassment. In the suit she also claimed that Trump tried to keep black women from entering the contest.

The Republican nominee has also been faced with allegations of housing discrimination. In 1973 the Department of Justice sued Trump and his father for discriminating the tenants of their New York sites, the Atlantic magazine stated.

After the opening (2005) and shut down (2010) of Trump University, a school aimed to teach students Trump’s real estate and business skills, many students claimed it was a scam. According to the Atlantic, New York is suing Trump for allegedly embezzling $40 million from students.

The Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, doesn’t have the cleanest record neither.

Clinton used a private email account and server during her

time as Secretary of State, and only turned over some of the lost emails to the State Department for public record, as reported by the Atlantic magazine. In the 2016 election, Clinton has been questioned repeatedly about these emails.

Four Americans were killed in 2012 at a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the Atlantic stated.

Republicans accused Clinton of inadequately protecting them, and implicated that she was aware of the terrorist attacks before they happened.

This is the first presidential election many first and second year Linfield students are able to vote in, contradiction and radicalism are topics voters will have to consider during this election cycle. Voters have to decide if they want a president with zero political experience who degrades women and minorities, or if they want a president who keeps affairs from the public.

This is what American politics have become.

Linfield recognized for community service excellence

By Megan Ditore Staff Writer Linfield was recognized for leadership in civic engagement and service-learning from the Presidents of Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

This is the sixth time that Linfield has been given this honor

since 2008. Director for Community Engagement & Service, Joni Tonn said that she is not surprised that Linfield has been awarded this honor. For her job she gets to track the service that the Linfield Community does; “They do a lot” she said.

Interfaith service coordinator, Laura Pyeatt ‘19 said, “Being a

student at Linfield has provided me with connections all around the McMinnville community.

Community service is an important part of my life and I am so thankful to be a part of a school that values it as much as I do.”

Tonn hopes that “people find something that they care about and find a way to connect it to the

community.” There are so many ways to serve your community.

At Linfield a lot of people are really community focused, and are oriented towards helping those in need. Tonn said, “Linfield provides opportunities for not only students but for everyone in the Linfield community to get out of the classroom and serve.”

“It is nice to be recognized for what we do; because it is a lot.”

Tonn said. Find something that you care about, discover your own values and apply them to the community.

Politics panel provides foreign perceptions of U.S. election

By Cassandra Martinez Staff Writer As the media circus frenzy of coverage for the upcoming election continues to boil, professors discussed how other countries view the United States presidential election.

The first panelist at the Pizza and Politics panel discussion on Oct. 13 was professor Love from the Sociology and Anthropology dept.

His segment was about how U.S. politics, campaigns, and government officials are overall viewed globally by other countries.

He then specifically talked about how Latin Americans felt about the politics in America.

“Latin Americans, are, by in large, are surprised that we in the United States are surprised that politicians are characters. Self-interested on the take of representing certain various classes and other interests. Their surprised that we’re surprised,” said Love.

Love then talked about issues that the candidates hardly or never mention during the debate, namely the environment.

Love talked about the importance of protecting the environment and he used the example of fossil fuels and how products such as oil have consistently reduced energy return, meaning that people won’t get as much energy out of fossil fuels over

time as they will out of alternative energy sources.

The next speaker was Visiting Scholar and Debate coach Qiang Zhen, who is visiting from China and is part of the Communication Arts department at Linfield.

She talked about how the presi-

asked them a counter question, “If you mother and your wife fell in the river at the same time, who would you want to save first?” Zhen asked.

She then asked the Linfield students the same question about Clinton and Trump and a lot of them said neither.

The third speaker was Professor Mertes from the history dept.

Mertes stated that he would look at both sides of the argument on foreign policy.

He then talked about the two main points that both parties in the presidential debate agreed on. “The

“The two key commitments of this political consensus is that the U.S. must reign supreme in the world, whether it’s first among equals or the world’s only supreme power. Secondly, the world must be made for the expansion of capitalism, and capitalism must be protected where it’s taken root.”

dential debate was being perceived by the Chinese and started her presentation looking at the differences between the debate experiences from China and the United States.

She then said that when she was asked who she would vote for or what candidate she preferred, she

Visiting assistant professor Zhen later discussed how social media influences discussions about the debate.

She also discussed the pros and cons about each candidate the Chinese discussed the most, and whether it was about their policies or characteristics.

two key commitments of this political consensus is that the U.S. must reign supreme in the world, whether it’s first among equals or the world’s only supreme power. Secondly, the world must be made for the expansion of capitalism and capitalism must be protected, where it has taken

root,” Mertes said.

He then talked about how these principles are viewed to other countries as dominance and persuasion, so other countries could strive to be like the United States.

The final speaker for the event was Professor Pat Cottrell from th political science dept.

He started by saying that his presentation was mostly about whether or not the world was in a state of crisis, especially in the United States.

His main approach was about liberal order and what makes liberal order. He mentioned the political philosopher Immanuel Kant and how he described liberal order.

“You can think of liberal order as consisting of three pillars. The first pillar is based on democratic values.

The second pillar is this notion of capitalism - free trade, liberal economic order, and open markets. Of course in the middle, then we have national institutions and law, to uphold the liberal order,” Cottrell said.

He stated that liberal order is important because this notion had only been existing since World War II and the United States became the primary example of being able to bring the modern day World Trade Organization.

Photos by Griffin Yerian/staff Members of the Linfield Choir sing at their fall concert on Oct. 23 where they premiered the piece “When Justice Reigns” by Linfield music professor Andrea Reinkemeyer.

Choir: Concert shows Linfield vocal talent, dedication

By Mickayla Bay-Washington Staff Writer Vocally inclined Wildcats raised their voices to promote peace at the Fall Choir concert in Ice auditorium on Oct 23.

The main event was an original song straight from the minds of lyricist Janine Applegate and Linfield music professor Andrea Reinkemeyer.

“We knew we wanted the words to be relevant to young people, and perhaps to connect to social justice in some way,” Song said in a previous interview with the The Linfield Review.

The song entitled “When Justice Reigns” definitely struck a chord with the audience.

The combination of vocal control, seamless harmonies, and meaningful lyrics complimented by the powerful statements sever-

al Linfield College Concert Choir members made.

Every so often a vocalist would shout “ police brutality” “ sexual assault” and other problems that are visible in our nation today.

The Linfield College Concert Choir shared the stage with the Women’s Vocal Ensemble as well as the Wildcat Men’s Glee Club.

“The concert went super well.

It was fun performing with Men’s Glee [ Club] and I know the rest

The Women’s Vocal ensemble sings during the fall choir concert on Oct. 23 in Ice auditorium.

of Women’s Choir really enjoyed participating,” said Hannah DeVyldere, member of the Women’s Vocal Ensemble.

Both the ensemble and the Men’s Glee Club performed well.

Each group showed that they could harmonize effectively.

During the ensemble’s rendition of Alice Parker’s “ Invocation of Peace” members of the audience commented that the song would be well placed in the

soundtrack of Lord of the Rings movie.

As a whole, the Fall concert was a success. It very effectively communicated the Linfield community’s interest in finding answers for all the egregious events that continue to happen in the nation.

Breast cancer awareness month a reminder of prevention, statistics

By Natalie Kelley Staff Writer October doesn’t just stand for corn mazes and pumpkin spice lattes, it also stands for something much more important – Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This month is dedicated to bringing awareness of the disease that is the second leading cause of death among women, affecting more than 246,660 women each year, killing more than 40,000.

One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer and,

on average, every two minutes a woman is diagnosed and every 13 minutes, one woman will die.

Even though the numbers are much smaller, men can also be diagnosed with breast cancer.

About 2,600 men are affected each year, and 440 die.

Not all risk factors, such as genetics, age and family history, are controllable, but some risk factors are.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation states that some of the controllable factors include a lack of physical activity, a poor

diet high in saturated fat and low in fruits and vegetables, being overweight or obese and frequently drinking alcohol.

These are all factors that college students, can work on decreasing.

Females are also advised to do breast self-exams at least once a month. Step-by-step directions on how to perform a self-exam can be found on The National Breast Cancer Foundation’s website.

Environmental Film Festival Kellie Bowen A&E Editor

This week, there was a film festival that showcased four environmental films: “Cowspiracy,” “The Big Fix,” “DamNation” and “Inhabit.” There was also a panel, community members held a discussion and dialogue at the end of each movie. If you missed the environmental film festival, take a look at two of the reviews.

Halloween costume tips and tricks

By Kellie Bowen A&E Editor On Oct., 20th and Oct., 21st students had the oportunity to shop on campus at the Linfield Theater for their Halloween costumes.

A group of students were shopping for attire to fit Batman, Robin and the Joker. Other students were shopping for accessories to other trendy and creative costume plans.

Laura Johnson said that there were not any particular trends of costumes that students were picking.

“What I did was take pieces that were in the theater and put them together, like that Alice [in Wonderland] costume was something that I put together to sell as an Alice costume,” Johnson said.

Another source that students can use to help generate costume ideas is through social media. Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest are among the mediums people can use to find creativity within their costume plans.

“I usually go to Pinterest to get ideas for makeup,” a sophomore student said.

Going to thrift stores and second hand shops like the Goodwill and New to You, are of value to student’s living expenses, and needs for a cheap costume options.

There are other second hand shopping places in Portland, that might help you get the best of your costume.

- Rerun on -Village Merchants - House of Vintage - Savvy Plus - Better Bargains Thrift Store - Free Geek Thrift Store An additional place to look for Halloween wear is online. The only issue with buying online, is the timeliness of shipping. Some places to order costumes online include Amazon, Ebay and Value Village.

There is nothing like finding an inexpensive and creative costume idea. In order to be original, one must plan ahead and stratagize their costume. Group costumes can also be fun.

Finding the right accessories can make a generic costume, special. The goal to costume creations, is being able to be identifiable to the common trickor-treater or passer by.

Indy band plays for ‘intimate’ audience Annika Lindberg Staff Writer

Beach Fire brought upbeat music and great lyrics to Linfield.

Instead of the typical white folding chairs, red plush chairs were lined up for a more intimate cat cab. A small number of students were there which allowed the band members of Beach Fire to interact with them.

The lead signer, Sloan Martin, talked to the crowd while the band was setting up. He immediately noticed Starbucks’ closed door and exclaimed, “Oh they closed the doors! Is that allowed?” Martin noted how the closed doors makes FML “awkwardly too quiet.”

The two hour show was split into original songs during the first half and covers during the second half.

Martin introduced his original songs by stating “we’re getting our old ones out of the way.” Beach Fire played a multitude of upbeat songs with great lyrics such as “the comeback kid” and “two shots”.

Unlike other cat cabs, Beach Fire took a five-minute break in the middle of their set, and asked the audience if that was ok. “Do

you mind if we take a five minute break? Then we’ll start our second set” Martin said. It was an unusual format for a Cat Cab. Martin joked that their next song is called “junk in your trunk.

Just kidding, it’s called funk in your munk.”

Another original song is called “French Afro” and Martin instructed the audience to “ask your friends and they will know what that is” joked Martin.

Martin took a break for the final few songs and his back-up singer, Will Kinky took over. He performed an array of songs: “Latch”

by Sam Smith, “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley, and finished the set with “I’d Rather Go Blind” by Etta James.

Russell Hendrickson was thoroughly impressed with Beach Fire.

“It was a nice way to spend the evening. I enjoyed the band, and was really interested in the unique style they were going for,” said Hendrickson.

The mix of cover songs and original songs made this a night to remember.

Alex Jensen Staff Writer “Not about sustainability but about thrivability.” Thursday night Cowspiracy, was featured by the Environmental Film Fest.

Cowspiracy is an amazing eyeopening documentary about the animal agricultural industry and its impact on the environment.

I was blown away by all the astonishing statistics one is that it takes 660 gallons of water to produce one hamburger, which is insane.

The film follows Filmmaker Kip Andersen around in his investigation to why the world’s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about the cattle industries harm on the environment.

Every frame more and more information was uncovered exposing the negatives in animal agriculture and the relationship between them and environmental groups.

Andersen built Cowspiracy on interviews with the heads of major environmental organizations, researchers and animal agriculturalists.

The interview captured these executives actively beating around the bush. After it seemed Andersen was about to give up hope, he was able to get a head of an environmental organization to open up.

Realizing that many activists who stand up to cattle-industry have been killed, Andersen was confronted with a conundrum.

If producing this film was worth potentially putting himself on the shot block. Ultimately he concluded that exposing the cattle industry was more important.

In the end, Anderson came to a conclusion “If I can’t do it [kill an animal] then I don’t know if I want someone doing it for me.” He became a vegan.

The audience leaves with a new look on the world and the notion that if environmentalist live what

they profess, they can help save the environment.

Following the movie the film fest put on a panel discussion featuring Linfield’s own Professor Dawn Graff-Haight and Chad Tillberg and community members Norm Birch and Jennifer Reinmuth-Birch.

Based on the panel discussions about movie interactions and profession backgrounds the importance of education into a three-dimensional character was reiterated.

The Big Fix Friday night featured The Big Fix (2012) part of the Environmental Film Fest. The Big Fix, is an enrapturing exposé about the negligence and short-cuts that led to the Deep Horizon rig stationed off the coast of Louisiana exploding in April 2010.

Several workers were killed and nearly 5 million barrels of oil was spilled into the Gulf of Mexico., which killed and harmed millions of marine animals.

One of the most serious contentions of the film is that BP uses a massive amount of Corexit, oil dispersant which more toxic to humans and wildlife than oil.

The Filmmakers provided good evidence that BP is still using Corexit, even though they were told to stop. The film presents devastating evidence that the air and water have been contaminated, in Louisiana.

Directed by Josh Tickell and his wife, Rebecca Harrell Tickell, The Big Fix, begins with the history of BP oil than focuses on Tickell’s home-state Louisiana.

The film preludes to corruption of “Big oil” in the United States and especially in Louisiana.

The Tickells investigate the gulfs coast and snoop around areas declared off-limit. They discover washed up oil in the night which then has been plowed under during the day. The nice pristine sandy

beaches give the illusion that the issue no longer exists.

They find what they say is an extensive cover-up between BP and the federal government.

Film experts say that the oil well is still leaking and was not properly capped enlarging the dead-zone.

It was discovered that there was a 300-400 meter long lake that sits under 400 meters of water in the Gulf of Mexico.

Tickells present evidence how the residents’ livelihoods and health has been decimated due BP’s misjudgments.

Harrell Tickell herself after spending much time in chemically polluted air began to have skin ailments and repertory conditions.

The Big Fix, begins to run amok in the end hitting more on conspiracy tones lessening the larger issues.

The indictment of human greed and oil industries hold on politicians, leads to a weird scene sequence where politicians are compared to strippers.

In the end, the film rallies to a point that is all too similar in most enrapturing documentaries.

The call to action showed by countless images of protests simultaneously talking about people standing up. But the film does make some strong possibly accurate claims on conspiracy.

Again after The Big Fix, showing the Environmental Film Fest had a panel discussion. The panel featured Linfield Professor’s Ned Knight, Bill Fleeger and Tom Love.

Last years film festival included the showings of “Growing Cities”, “Plastic Paradise”, “The Economics of Happiness” and “TINY”.

The 2016 film festival was made possible with the sponsorship of the Linfield Sustainability Office, the Activities Board, the Linfield Environmental Studies Program and the Linfield Art Department.

Cassandra Martinez For the Review

“The Madwoman of Chaillot”

by Jean Giraudoux and adapted

by Maurice Valency, gave us a new perspective on who can be the hero.

The hero of the play and their band of misfits take on the powerful system of the society they occupy and take back what’s theirs.

The Madwoman, known as Countess by her friends, is the protagonist of the production. Accompanied by her band of colorful vagabond friends, she takes on the evil president and his cooperation pals in order to save the city of Chaillot.

This play is ultimately is about the small guy fighting the big guy, Robin Hood vs. King Richard,

Leslie Knope vs. Pawnee and so many other references that can be made about this story.

The play is not just a contemporary play about society, but also mentions some significant political issues. Not to mention an audience member can easily connect some of these colorful and interesting characters with actual people in our reality, possibly politicians or businessmen.

Another arena to expect the show to excel in is the beautiful set design and the costumes, which were created by the wonderful and talented Ty Marshall and Laurel Peterson.

Marshall created a beautiful two-sided set for both act one and act two, which switch for each act via the revolving stage. Peterson’s costumes are not only colorful and unique, but also capture

the character’s personalities very well. Let’s not forget about the sound design by Rob Vaughn and lighting design by Rachel Kiefer, who is a Senior Theatre Arts major here at Linfield College.

The play is directed by Theater Professor Janet Gupton, whose latest work at Linfield College Theater was directing last Fall Semester’s “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare. “The Madwomen of Chaillot” opens on November 3 and is also showings on November 4-5 & 10-12 at 7:30 PM, with a matinée on November 6 at 2:00 PM.

Modern Slavery in U.S. Mickayla-Bay Washington For the Review

‘Madwoman’ makes her way into theater

•

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Because of the appositive within the 13th amendment it’s no longer acceptable to deny people jobs, medical care, or education if they aren’t white, yet it is okay to deny them these rights if they are a “criminal”. The documentary opens with a quote from President Barack Obama, “The United States is home to 5% of the world’s population, but 25% of the world’s prisoners. Think about that.”

The movie “ 13th” , a Netflix production directed by Ava Devernay, centers around the clause in the 13th amendment which makes it possible for individuals to still be enslaved, by mass incarceration. After slavery was abolished, the South suffered economically because free labor of Black’s was no longer constitutionally acceptable.

Using outstanding cinematography as well as moving testimonials, from prominent thought leaders in the Black community, Devernay and her associates recite the history of race relations in the United States.

As the film progresses the audience is forced to see that not much has changed in America.

The “...except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted…” , clause of the 13th amendment has allowed prisoners to be con-

sidered modern day slaves.

It a citizen commits a crime, one should be held accountable and you should be required to pay a debt to society. Yet corporations and law enforcement have taken advantage of this societal agreement. Black and brown people are often arrested and convicted in higher quantities than their white counterparts.These convictions are important for politicians pockets, systemic oppressions, and private owned businesses.

In essence, imprisoning individuals and forcing them to make products for national retailers is a form of modern day slavery.

Not even five decades ago this kind of free labor would be called by its real name, slavery.The film brings awareness to a dark truth in America.

“The Birth of a Nation”

By Amantha Hood Editor-in-Chief

“The Birth of a Nation”, was released on Oct 7th, 2016. P Nate Parker, produced a film which summarizes Nat Turners heroic abilities to attempt to surpass slavery in a nation built on systemic corruption. He was born a South Hampton County, Virginian slave and traveled to other plantations to preach the word to slaves.

Slave drivers wanted Turner to preach about obedience, listening and working hard for the benefit of their profit and the use of slaves to build businesses for them.

A scene glorified a slave driver shattering a slave’s mouth with a hammer and forced food in him by sticking a tube down his opened throat. He was using the protester as an example of what happens to disobedient slaves who will not work.

This slave chose starvation rather than living in these conditions. The slaves who were disobedient were shackled, whipped, and left in unruly living conditions if not killed.

Turner witnessed the conditions of slaves throughout America and used preaching instead to uplift and bring the slaves together in revolt.

His wit often went past the white man’s ears, as some did not understand that his words were going to soon cause slave rebellion.

In August of 1831, Turner led the largest slave rebellion in American history. Turner and his men killed as many slave masters

and families as possible, whilst freeing the slaves per plantation.

The local Virginia militia killed the group and ended the revolt.

Turner was caught by a farmer, and hung along with other leaders.

More than fifty slaves were killed after being captured. Turner was on the run for two months before he was hung. After Turner was lynched, his body was skinned and his flesh was made into grease. His skin and bones were given to white families resembling white triumph over the slave rebellion.

The movie is important to our existence today. – “Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”

’Cats fall to Pirates, block Missionaries

By Natalie Kelley Staff Writer The Linfield volleyball team fought hard on Friday in their game against Whitworth in Spokane, Wash., but despite their efforts the Wildcats still fell to the Pirates.

The first match ended with a score of 25-14, but the last two matches were much closer, ending with score of 25-21 and 25-23.

“We just had a slow start, which effected the result of the game,” Sophomore Tiara Huffaker said.

The Wildcat ladies still worked hard on the court, especially Huffaker who had eight kills, which is a team high for the game.

Sophomore Darian Stedman also played strong, recording seven kills. Senior Molly McTaggart and sophomore Taylor Peterson both recorded five kills for the Wildcats.

“The first game was rough, but we moved on. Game two and three could have gone either way, but we just couldn’t get over that hump. We battled hard in those two sets, and it showed that we can play with the best in our conference. We just have to be consistent and execute,” said Peterson.

After a tough loss to the Whitworth Pirates Friday night, the Wildcats came back strong Saturday while playing against the Whitman Missionaries in Walla Walla, Wash.

Linfield lost the first set with a close 21-25, only to come back and win the second set 25-15.

Malia Riggs/staff Senior Casie Gaza serves the ball in a previous match.

The third set ended with a 21-25 score once again, but the Wildcats finished strong, winning the last two sets, 25-17 and 15-9.

“We passed better Saturday night. We also brought more energy. Friday after the game we talked as a team about continuing to hustle and give effort, but execute better.

Malia Riggs/staff Senior Casie Gaza, 10, sets the ball to freshman teammate Mackenzie Courtney, 16.

“We did that, which was a good turnaround.

Improvement wise, we are putting things together. A good pass is leading to a good hit. Everyone is doing their best play at the same time,” said McTaggart.

Sophomores Darian Stedman and Taylor Peterson as well as senior Molly McTaggart truly car-

ried the team to victory. Stedman had 18 kills while McTaggart had 14 and Peterson had 10.

During the fourth set, Stedman and sophomore Tiara Huffaker each recorded a kill, driving the fifth set of the match.

“I’m proud of how we competed and stayed with it. A five set match is tough. It was a good last

road game win,” said McTaggart.

This win brought the Wildcats to sixth place in the NWC. Next, the Wildcats will play Lewis and Clark at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct., 28 at home in the Ted Wilson Gym. Natalie Kelley can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com

Athletes grow from Linfield Lions to Linfield Wildcats Kaelia Neal Staff Writer

Kaelia Neal/staff Caden Wakefield (left) and Connor Waite (right) walk out from the Linfield Wildcats’ football locker room.

Two high school athletes started off playing football together as Lions. Now a smaller cat but a bigger level of game, both play together as Wildcats.

Connor Waite and Caden Wakefield went from Linfield Christian High School to Linfield College, which has often led to confusion and amusement among their family and friends. “They ask if they’re related. It’s the number one question they ask,” Waite said.

Wearing their Linfield Christian High School gear, which they often do, is what really sparks up the questions among the students at Linfield College. “I wear it and when I pass people they’re like, ‘hey, where did you get that from?’” Wakefield laughed.

Waite and Wakefield began playing flag football at a young age, which led to them falling in love with the game.

As the two are just a grade level apart, Waite and Wakefield played high school football together down in Temecula, California. Waite was the quarterback while Wakefield was a linebacker.

“We had an all right team. We went all the way to the semis,” Wakefield said.

The two enjoyed Linfield Christian High School and described it as similar to Linfield College. “It was a family setting,” Waite said.

For Waite, the name of his high school and college did not play a factor in his college decision. “It was football for me. I didn’t hear about this school until someone told me about Linfield football,” Waite said.

On the other hand, Wakefield said the two schools having the same name did have a small influence on his college decision.

But like Waite, football was the main reason he chose to attend Linfield College along with the atmosphere. “I went on a bunch of recruiting visits and this [Linfield College] had the coolest campus,” he said.

Waite is a majoring in psychology and is a quarterback for the Wildcats, while Wakefield is majoring in finance and recently switched positions to a defensive lineman. The two athletes are now part of the successful Linfield football program, which is on its way to 61 straight winning seasons.

“We’re really disciplined, and we prepare really well. I’d have to say that’s out biggest strength,” Waite said.

Wildcats claw Bruins, end losing streak

By Camille Botello Staff Writer The Linfield men’s soccer team came up short in their game against the Pacific University Boxers on Saturday.

Starters Jorge Rodriguez, Brian DeGrandmont, Isaias Flores, Joey Gracheck, Wyatt Lay, Marshall Denley, Rhys Lendio, Austin Bebee, Isaac Archer, and Jake Smith began the game with strong defense and multiple shots on goal.

“I felt like the team was a cohesive unit and it was all about pride at this point in the season,” captain DeGrandmont, ‘17, said.

The ball stayed back early in the first half, then DeGrandmont received a pass from his defense, charged the goal, and scored.

The ’Cats continued to push towards Pacific’s goal, but one breakaway from the Boxers tied the game at 1-1.

Shortly after, DeGrandmont scored again from around the 20-yard line, regaining Linfield’s lead.

The first half ended with Linfield ahead, 2-1.

Early in the second half, a Linfield handball resulted in a penalty kick for Pacific. Boxer Matt Kimball took the kick, and Linfield goalie Rodriguez Toro, ‘17, made a miraculous save.

Another Pacific goal late in the second half brought the game to a tie again at 2-2.

A few yellow and red cards caused substitutions on both sides, changing the game in the final minutes.

The second half ended in a 2-2 tie.

“We fought very hard, and our constant communication led to everyone being engaged and anticipating on all plays,” DeGrandmont

said.

As the game went into overtime, the ’Cats had many breakaway attempts and shots on goal.

“Probably the biggest points were our possession of the ball and being patient with going forward. Our movement defensively and offensively was really good as well, along with our work rate,” Chris Palmer, ‘18, said.

With only 28 seconds left in overtime, the Boxers managed to score their third goal, giving Linfield their sixth home loss.

“As far as overtime, I don’t know why we struggle. Honestly I think we just get really unlucky. There have been some unfortunate goals scored on us,” Smith, ‘17, said.

Things turned around for the ’Cats on Sunday in Newberg.

Linfield scored twice in the first 12 minutes against the George Fox Bruins, setting the pace for Sunday’s game.

“We scored first in both games this weekend, which was definitely the result to our success on Sunday,” DeGrandmont said.

Wyatt Lay, ‘17, and Rhys Lendio, ‘17, scored Linfield’s two goals against the Bruins, with assists from Austin Bebee, ‘18, and Dylan Shepherd, ‘18.

Lendio, Flores, ‘20, and Gracheck, ‘17 combined for 11 shot attempts for the Wildcats.

“The team has grown immensely.

It’s unreal how much progress we’ve made from the start of the year,” DeGrandmont said.

The game ended 2-1, Linfield.

The Wildcats will host Whitworth and Whitman back to back this week to end the regular season.

“We came out strong and were ready to play today. We looked like we had a flow and things started to come into place,” Bailey said.

In the 63rd minute, a kick from Mary Cait Moriarty, ‘20, to Shelby DeRocher, ‘18 notched a goal for the Linfield Wildcats making the score 1-0.

Quarterback Sam Riddle led the Wildcats to a tenth straight victory over the Whitworth Pirates as well as 61 straight winning seasons. With five touchdowns, Riddle threw for a career-high 381 yards while completing 25 out of 40 passes without an interception. In honor of his fallen teammate, Parker Moore, Riddle wore jersey number 35 during the game.

’Cats top Whitworth, secure 61st winning season Ian Cooper Staff Writer On Saturday, Oct., 22, the Linfield Wildcats faced another obstacle on their way to winning the conference title once again, this time almost having it stolen by the Whitworth Pirates.

However, the ’Cats persevered and were able to capture their 61st consecutive winning season.

“I thought we played a great first half. The second half was filled with mistakes. Whitworth is a great team that is very explosive,” quarterback Sam Riddle,

’17, said.

The score and the end of the day was the Wildcats 45, Pirates 31. Though, Whitworth’s passing offense was touted as being one of the most impressive in the country among Division III schools, Linfield took them to task with a will.

Though only being 25-40 for completions on the day, Riddle had a field day, throwing five touchdowns for just under 400 yards with no interceptions.

Combined for the day, Linfield’s offense had over 660 yards, rushing for around 250 yards

and a touchdown, with all of this spread amongst six different rushers and nine different receivers.

Suffice to say, the Pirates were outgunned in this match, which didn’t mean they went down without a fight.

Whitworth struck first in the game, causing the Wildcats to play catch-up immediately. Ultimately, they did and at the end of the first half Linfield led 28-10.

They would only score twice in the second half, while kicking a field goal to make their final score 45.

Whitworth on the other hand

pushed back, and while the Linfield defense allowed 21 points to be scored, they refused to allow the Pirates back into striking range.

This was a slugging fest between two very good teams in a battle for the leadership of the Northwest Conference, as before this game both teams were perfect in conference play (3-0.) Linfield now stands alone, having defeated the only serious challenge to the goal of getting to the postseason.

Erick Douglas III, ’17, “Our O line played well and dominated

the line of scrimmage the entire game. Our defense played really well, and were able to make some big stops. Our kicker Will stepped up and kicked well,” he said.

Next, catch the Wildcats on Saturday at home when they face the county rival the George Fox Bruins who are currently sitting in third, right behind Whitworth with a record of 3-1.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30pm.

“I think that they just came out aggressive and ready to play and we weren’t prepared and couldn’t find our rhythm. Once we were down a goal we started to get down on ourselves,” Goalkeeper Sarah Bailey, ‘18, said.

Pacific Lutheran’s Rachel Ross, ‘19, scored early in the game in the fourth minute from a cross kick making the game 1-0. Then Ross scored a second time in the second half in the 51st minute, assisted by Liz Griffith, ‘19.

In the 55th minute, a goal was made off of a corner kick. The goal came from Machaela Graddy, ‘18 assisted by Lena Moreno, ‘17 notching the score 3-0.

The final score came from Kristi Kaneta, ‘18 off of another corner kick shot by Moreno in the 71st minute.
