Planned Parenthood closure affects students Samantha Sigler Associate editor Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette closed its McMinnville office located at 130 N.W. Sixth St. after operating for nearly seven years.

After the organization conducted its annual evaluation of Planned Parenthood affiliates, the agency decided the McMinnville center was not serving as many people as they had hoped, and

they could no longer justify keeping the center open.

“The health care landscape is an ever-changing world,” said Liz Delapoer, director of marketing and communications at Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette.

“We are constantly looking at our operations across state and looking at what makes sense to meet the needs of families who don’t have access to health care.”

The McMinnville clinic offered

contraception counseling and prescription, cancer screening, HIV and VD testing, morning after pill prescription, pregnancy testing and administration of annual exams for women and vasectomies for men.

“For those students who were using Planned Parenthood as their source of reproductive health care, I think it will be a source of inconvenience,” said Dawn Graff-Haight, professor of health education.

“Sometimes that inconvenience is the difference between being protected and not being protected, which is why I advocate for condoms.”

For students and community members who were using the Planned Parenthood clinic for repddroductive health care, Delapoer recommends using one of their other locations, with the >> Please see Closure page 4

There are over 150 people currently held in Guantanamo Bay detention camp and each year, over $1 million is spent to keep Guantanamo open.

The question of whether or not the Guantanamo Bay detention camp should remain open was posed at the 3rd annual Frederic Douglass Debate.

The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located in Cuba. It was established in 2002 to detain extremely dangerous prisoners, to interrogate the prisoners held there in an optimal setting and to prosecute prisoners of war crimes.

At the Guantanamo Bay detention camp there have been accounts of waterboarding, intimidation, threats to attack loved ones and various torture techniques. As a result of accounts like these, there is a question as to if the camp should remain open due to human rights boundaries that have been breached.

Bringing terrorists to justice is said to be the main goal of the detention center.

The question of whether or not it should continue to remain open; as well as if it is protecting the United States citizens, if kept open, was the focus of the debate. Both sides to the debate were addressed and presented with poise and passion.

Students were energized to talk about the debate and the topic of closing the detention center. Not only the panelists but the audience participated and posed questions and further arguments in an open forum.

EDITORIAL

Disrespect in halls is peeving to students Students who have lived in a residence hall during their freshman year know that it can be a fun, but also challenging, experience to live in a dorm building.

Not everyone will agree with each other on what is too loud for music, or when it’s okay to go running down the hall yelling after 10 p.m.

Living in a residence hall is supposed to teach students how to live in a community, and more importantly, how to solve conflicts with others.

After spending a year living in a residence hall, many students would hope to have an easy experience living in them during their sophomore year.

Unfortunately, this is

May 12, 2014

not always the case.

It seems it is hard to escape immature peers that can’t understand that not everyone wants to be awake after 1 a.m.

When most state schools allow students to live wherever they like after their freshman year, students at Linfield are expecting to have a good experience living in a residence hall again after their freshman year.

Freshmen who live in the residence halls often forget that there are sophomores and occasionally juniors who also live in the halls.

It is not uncommon for first-year students to do things that can affect the entire hall.

Recently, students living in Jane Failing residence hall experienced vandalism to the building.

In cases in which a student(s) responsible of an incident cannot be identified, an entire hall could be charged for any damage done.

This is irritating to all students, no matter what year in school they are.

It is not only an inconvenience for students living in a residence hall for a second year, but it is also discouraging for those that know that they will be living in a hall for an another year.

Being respectful of your neighbors is something that should be developed in college, if not sooner.

When students graduate, vandalism to a house or apartment they are renting will carry similar consequences to those in college.

Often, if the landlord finds that whoever they are renting to has caused damage to the home, they will fine them.

Additionally, if people are having a party at their home, and there is loud music or underaged drinking, they can receive charges of noise disturbance and furnishing to minors.

Students need to pay attention to those that they share a residence hall with and be courteous to them.

Cuts to SNAP program could cause local hurt Jake Baker For the Review

On Nov. 1, 2013, a temporary boost to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program expired.

The total cut to the program is estimated to be $5 billion for the 2014 fiscal year. Since Congress allowed the expiration of the boost it has created unintended consequences for small farmers across the country, and here in Oregon.

Oregonians will not be immune to many of the problems created.

Over the past decade there has been a 490 percent increase in SNAP sales at farmers’ markets.

In 2009 there were fewer

than 1,000 markets authorized for SNAP, but in 2011 this number pushed past the 3,000 mark.

In Oregon, from 2011 to 2012 SNAP redemptions increased by 21 percent.

Not only are there more places to spend SNAP benefits on locally produced agriculture, but people are doing this with increasing frequency.

The decrease in funds will have a major impact on those already receiving benefits, and on those looking to enter the program.

While citizens have shown an increasing commitment to buying locally, the cut represents a new threat to this movement.

In Oregon, there will be $84 million less to be spent

on food, according to state estimates.

In 2012, Oregon SNAP recipients spent over $700,000 of their benefits at farmers’ markets.

Local charities are already starting to gear up for the expected rush to food banks and soup kitchens.

It is known that the benefits don’t last all month long and the cuts only exacerbate this reality.

SNAP recipients will have fewer benefits and will be forced to reevaluate how these are spent.

An $84 million shortfall will result in decreased SNAP sales at farmers markets.

Local farmers may lose thousands of dollars in revenue.

This will impact local farmers, purchasers, and the food system in general.

The federal government should pass legislation to increase the benefits for SNAP recipients or subsidize purchases at farmers’ markets.

Not only will this benefit SNAP recipients, but it will also help cover losses that will be felt by farmers if these cuts hold.

The amount of benefits used at farmers’ markets

by Oregon citizens is less than one percent of the total benefit usage.

However, it is important that all people have access to this type of food.

Local growers need be able to access all demographics of people, especially those most in need.

These cuts have unintended consequences that will affect citizens, farmers, and the local food movement.

People everywhere deserve access to fresh produce and food.

As the obesity rate in the United States is high, the only way that it will decrease is by giving access to people who don’t have access to healthy foods.

People in poverty are often forced to turn to unhealthy food.

If we want to get serious about changing our food consumption patterns, than we need to reevaluate the cuts made to social programs.

Culture

Recent trends in advertisements have gone too far The United States is drowning in advertisements. Everywhere you look you can see some company’s name: bathroom stalls, floors and ceilings.

But where can the line be drawn before it goes beyond informational to annoying to invasive.

Before the Internet, radio and television, advertising was limited to newspapers.

It was the major form of funding for the publications and its employees.

When television emerged, advertising shifted and soared above print in effectiveness. In 2014 Marketing Fact Pack by

Kaylyn Peterson For the Review Advertising Age, TV was stated as being the largest advertising medium at 39 percent.

In the same article, newspaper were surpassed by the Internet by 4.5 percent for the first time.

With families moving

into an age where everything has to happen as fast as humanly possible, messages need to be just as fast and newspapers are not able to keep up.

With the old ways of advertising slowly losing life, advertisers are looking for new ways and places to mark. This can mean anything from logos on napkins to sporting endorsements.

If you haven’t noticed, all the classic sport stadiums of the “good ol’ days” are losing its names and being replaced by big company names. The Moda Center comes to mind, as

it was once called the Rose Garden. And while these facilities need more support financially, it takes away from the community feel to the stadium. Many other stadiums have seen this happen, such as MetLife stadium in New York and AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

While newspapers, Internet and television ads can be annoying, naming sport facilities and other buildings can get confusing.

The public can choose to look at the television, Internet or newspaper, sports facilities are places to gather and celebrate a sport not

a company.

Another location that seems to be inappropriate for advertising is in large shopping centers. As a place with many options, why put more strain on consumers when they’re browsing.

Advertising is a sneaky game that many do not even know they are playing and consumers can’t do much about.

So when looking for news or when you’re trying to communicate with others, maybe reverting back to the old way can protect from some of the advertising down poor. Go pick up

a newspaper or write a letter. This could also lead to the revival of newspapers and the de-clutter of the Internet. People can control where businesses advertise, you just have switch things up sometimes.

I can’t say much of what to do about the sports facilities other than embrace the teams that play inside and the sports themselves.

Despite this opinion, you will still find new and unusually located advertising, so watch your head, feet and wherever else they might fall.

Celebrate Mother’s Day for a different reason Heather Brooks For the Review Mother’s Day is often celebrated by sending sweet-smelling, colorful flowers or rich and delicious chocolates to the women that have loved and cared for us.

Mothers risk their life and health to give their children a chance to live.

That may sound dramatic, but the facts show that around the world, at least one woman dies from issues related to pregnancy and childbirth every minute.

Pregnancy and childbirth is the leading cause of death and disability for women in their reproductive years.

These deaths results in more than a million children left without mothers

every year and, tragically, most of these deaths could be prevented by access to modern medical care.

This is not just an issue in third-world countries.

Mothers risk their life and health to give their childern a chance to live.

Maternal Mortality rates are twice as high in the United States as they are in Europe.

Motherhood is also the leading indicator of poverty for women.

There are amazing organizations that aim to reduce maternal mortality rates by

and Nicholas Kristoff, endorses several organizations with the same goals.

These organizations, such as Thistle Farms, The Brave Collection and The Umoja Uaso Women’s Fund, make and sell products to support women who face unimaginable obstacles.

The National Retail Federation expects that Ameri-

cans will have spent nearly $20 billion dollars on gifts for Mother’s Day this year.

I am not saying that we should abandon the traditions we have to celebrate our own mothers.

I would encourage everyone to show their love and appreciation for their mothers but maybe we could find ways to show support for all mothers, and not just on one day out of the year.

Perhaps we should consider Kristoff’s advice: “Let’s think about moving the apostrophe so that it becomes not just Mother’s Day, honoring a single mother, but Mothers’ Day — an occasion to try to help other mothers around the globe as well,” Kristoff said.

Students will present findings at upcoming PLACE lecture Kaylyn Peterson For the Review Linfield wraps up the topic of war after two years in a final PLACE event with student-lead talks.

Spanning disciplines the PLACE program has students thinking in and outside of the classroom.

History courses have been combined with Spanish courses, mass commu-

nication mixed with art and so on.

Now as the two-year topic is brought to a close, students will give presentations from their legacies of war-themed class.

“Legacies of War and the Liberal Arts: Learning from Difference” will be held at 4:30 p.m. May 19 in Ice Auditorium.

One group chosen for the PLACE event was from

assistant professor of religion David Fiordalis’s Tibetan Buddhism class.

Fiordalis is also co-chair of the religious studies department.

Senior Steven Crowder and juniors Laura Lichti and Megan Hadley were selected by Fiordalis out of all the groups in the class for their presentation on Tibetan self-immolations.

“Tibetan self-immo-

lations are a response to the systematic oppression of the Tibetan people and their culture by the Chinese government,” Lichti said.

“The theme of PLACE is legacies of war, and these acts are an example of such legacies,” Lichti said.

Students from Associate professor of English Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt 9/11 literature class will also

present at the previously mentioned “Legacies of War and the Liberal Arts: Learning from Difference” lecture on May 19.

The class will hold a reflection on the week that they are putting on: “Repercussions of 9/11 and the War on Terror.”

The reflection will be at 4:30 p.m. May 20, in T.J. Day 219.

During May 14-20 there

will be visual and interactive art on the Linfield campus that demonstrates the after-math of events that occured on September 11, 2001.

Kemper scholar recipient excited for internship in Chicago Olivia Marovich For the Review The Kemper Foundation has selected a Linfield freshman to receive one of its prestigious scholarship awards.

Freshman Tatum Chidlaw will receive an annual scholarship of up to $10,000 and have the opportunity to work two summer internships during her time at Linfield.

“I definitely thought that this opportunity was too good to be true in the first place, so I was having a hard time believing it could actually happen for me,” Chidlaw said.

“When I read the email on my phone from Dr. La

Hurd I definitely squeaked a little bit and almost started crying in Dillin. Then I immediately called my dad to tell him the good news.”

Chidlaw found out about the scholarship at the annual Discover Internships and Career Development Fair, or DIVE Fair, at Linfield.

The fair is hosted by the Career Development Center and aims to help students find ways to gain work experience while they are still in school.

Chidlaw said she was drawn to the opportunity for this scholarship because of her interest in living in Chicago, where the foundation is based and where she would have one of her internships.

this program, I knew I had to try my hardest for this chance,” Chidlaw said. “I

dream of living in Chicago and broadening my horizons.

The Kemper Foundation selects first-year students from 16 colleges across the country to receive this annual award.

It is awarded to students who demonstrate strong motivation toward service and community involvement and have a wide range of interests.

“They really emphasized in the information from the Kemper Foundation that they seek students who have diverse interests and are open to new experiences,” Chidlaw said.

“I felt like this suited me well because I have always been passionate about a wide range of things, and so I made sure to discuss this in my application and inter-

view.”

Chidlaw said that she is excited for the opportunities provided by this scholarship, and she would urge any new students to apply next year.

“Receiving the Kemper Scholarship means opening a door to a whole new world,” Chidlaw said.

“I will get to live in a city, work and live with a group of all new people, and learn how to intern for the organization.

I don’t truly know exactly what to expect, but that’s what I like about it. I am so enthusiastic about this opportunity I hardly know what to do with myself.”

be closed, still be relevant in 2014? Guantanamo bay needs to close; its operation goes against U.S. interests, international law and undermines human rights,” junior Erling Overa said during his debate.

The only student that presented the opposing side, to keep Guantanamo open, was freshman Mikayla Frei.

“Guantanamo Bay is still necessary to face the enemy with important resources as well as keep key players from contributing to efforts against the U.S.,” Frei said.

“Closing Guantanamo will be a complicated process that will take time which is why it is currently crucial to the American public’s safety to keep Guantanamo open,” Frei said.

The audience brought up

the complications with simply closing the detention camp. Many agreed that the detention center should be closed, but that the process for doing so is complicated.

Obama in 2010 made a promise to close the camp; however, Guantanamo still remains open.

The audience talked about the issue of the camp being created as a result of the expansion of presidential powers. However, the hinge of the issue comes from the presidential powers currently not having the ability to close the detention camp.

“The issue of whether or not it should close is one issue. The issue of how to close it is another,” said senior Joe Gladow.

The Linfield Review continues to make new strides and successes Helen Lee Editior-In-Chief The Linfield Review won eight awards at the annual Oregon Newspapers Foundation Collegiate Day conference on May 9.

The Review has a record of success at the conference, which the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association held at Linn Benton Community College this year.

The ONPA-sponsored event is an educational opportunity for collegiate reporters, and features an awards ceremony.

Oregon college newspaper staffs heard from keynote speaker Brent Walth, managing editor for news of the Willamette Week, on changes in the journalism industry.

Students also heard about investigative and mobile reporting, as well as ethics, from Les Zaitz, senior investigative reporter at The Oregonian; Chelsea Wicks, Eliza Collins, and Kim Uong of The Daily Emerald; and Peter Korn, reporter for the Portland Tribune.

Editors, reporters, and photographers for the Review earned awards in a variety of categories, ranging from “best section” to “best sports photography.”

News editor and junior Olivia Marovich took first place in the “best section” category. Although she will not be continuing with the Review, she will serve as ASLC’s publicity director for the 2014-2015 school year, and values the experience she gained while working for the newspaper.

“I am very thankful to receive this award. I feel very proud and grateful to have worked with such a great staff this year,” Marovich said.

Managing editor and senior Kaylyn Peterson placed second in “best headline writing” for her headline about the opening of Sushi Kyo Express in McMinnville.

The headline was “new sushi restaurant splashes into McMinnville.”

Peterson has been on staff for three years as a freelance reporter, sports editor and copy chief before working as managing edi-

tor this year. She credits the newspaper as her “driving force” during her time at Linfield, and will miss the Review after she graduates.

“Headlines are probably the most fun part of newspaper because you get to be witty, so you get to come up with fun, enticing headlines. I feel like I’ve learned a lot while working for the Linfield Review, and I found future opportunities in an area I never thought I would have joined,” Peterson said.

Staff photographer and freshman Spencer Beck took second in “best sports photography” and senior Tyson Takeuchi took first.

Beck enjoys photography as a creative outlet, and was promoted from freelance photographer to staff photographer at the start of the spring semester.

“While in the past I’ve won smaller photo contests, it is incredible rewarding to be receiving statewide credit for my work,” Beck said.

The Linfield Review also placed second in “best photography,” third in “best house advertisement,” third in “best website,” and third in “general excellence.”

Copy editor and freshman Rosa Johnson represented the Review at the conference along with editor-in-chief and junior Samantha Sigler, sports editor and freshman Stephanie Hofmann, and photo editor and freshman Helen Lee. Johnson will be the 2014-2015 managing editor, and said the conference “allowed the staff of the Linfield Review to venture into the journalism field in order to see the variety of publications.”

“It [the conference] has inspired our future staff to strive for a better newspaper in order to benefit the students, staff, and faculty of Linfield College,” Johnson said.

The Review’s staff hopes to continue its winning streak at the ONPA next year.

From Sergeant to Earnest

F

reshman Murphy Jackson has been acting ever since middle school.

His first two major plays at Linfield involved two very different characters. One of them was a sergeant turned rapist. The other was a lighter, comedic character: Jack from Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Both of them proved to be starkly contrasting roles.

Q: Why did you decide to try out for the two plays this year?

A: Well, when it comes to trying out for plays that is an easy answer. You have to try out for everything when you’re an actor. Jobs are hard things to come by, and I think it might be good experience to dive into whatever project presents itself as an opportunity for me. Also, it is just ridiculously fun.

I know the people who will be at these auditions and consider them all my friends (hopefully I’m not overstepping myself with that one). But in college, trying out for a play is just like getting kids together for a play date. Yes, it is all maybe a competition for a role in said play, but that is never an issue when it comes to working and enjoying the company of these people.

Q: How would you describe the two characters you played?

A: Heaven and hell, which really isn’t the right way to put it, but it is sort of close to it. Sergeant is one of those horrible experiences you go through, but have so much to learn from that you can’t really blame him. That role became a sort of civil service, with a story to tell about what people within our armed forces might be dealing with without our knowing.

Of course, the experience was fun overall because that is the reason why I act, but when I was sergeant on stage there was this anger and the need to take back what control he felt like he was losing. So that was a deep role with a lot of meaning and message to give out. Earnest on the other hand was this, “art for art’s sake.” There you’ve got motive, purpose, and the green light to enjoy yourself. Wilde just sort of hands out this script to everyone and says, “Don’t mess it up to badly, which is really impossible because it really is just that good.” So for Earnest there really isn’t a lot to think about except for how does some one conduct comedy through them. Hopefully the answer is to just enjoy acting it yourself, because if you’re having fun the audience should also be having fun.

Photo courtesy of Linfield College Jackson is onstage as Jack in Linfield’s production of “The Importance of Being Earnest.”

Q: You played two very different characters in the two plays. How was preparing for Ajax in Iraq different from preparing for The Importance of Being Earnest?

A: Five words. Boot camp and tea time. To prepare for Earnest there is just a lot that has to happen with the mind. You have to get it into your head that this is how you should walk and talk. Which we had the amazing Janet to do the watching on our walking, and her ridiculously talented husband, Ted, to teach us the language part.

Otherwise, it was drilling on comedic timing, how to discover which ideas, and what one would expect from a play. In Ajax the drilling was actual drilling. We had cross fit trainers come in and give us a taste of what it was like to be a soldier and even then it doesn’t compare to the real thing. Then, it was watching movies on why we were in Iraq, what the effects of war were on our society, and interviews with veterans and others who had ties to the war.

This whole process just gave us a sense of what it was that we were trying to play. I know that for me the subject of war, it wasn’t a distant problem anymore; it was something that needed to be discussed and faced by all people on all fronts. Something that just needs to be ended so we can all get back to the issue.

Q: How do these two characters compare to characters you have played before in high school or otherwise?

A: Since high school there has been a recent trend to the roles I’ve been getting.

Out of the last four major shows I’ve been in I’ve been the villain for three of them. Callahan in Legally Blonde, King Claudius in Hamlet, and Sergeant in Ajax in Iraq, so Earnest was a bit of a refresher. It is never a bad thing to be a villain, and the truth is that it is sort of freeing to just be awful letting out your anger in your acting.

But for those last couple of shows there has been this darker sexual spin (especially with Ajax where it was just sexual violence at its peak) so it’s been pretty interesting.

Q: What characters would you like to play in the future?

A: If I continue with the villain thing, then I’d like to do either the in-control evil villain, or out of his mind killer. Like Vic Vega from Reservoir Dogs where he dances to a hippie song then cuts off some guy’s ear. If I got to choose then easily it would have to be an omnipotent narrator character like the Athenai in Ajax or the Rooster minstrel from the animated disney Robin Hood. That guy was my hero.

Max Milander Milander has wanted do play-by-play since his freshman year. The hard part was always figuring out where he would be able to actually complete his dream job. Table Rock Sports looked like the right place, but it did take a bit to find it.

“In January, I had finished an informal interview with Brian Bishop, who works for KTMT 580 in Medofrd as their sports/news director.

My idea was just to talk to as many sports and news directors in Oregon as possible about what they’re looking for out of recent college grads in the business,” Milander wrote.

Bishop gave Milander Pete Belcastro’s, the co-owner of Table Rock Sports, contact info.

Belcastro agreed to an interview, and Milander drove six hours both ways to the interview.

“He did treat me to a slice of pie, so I guess it was worth it,” Milander said.

Belcastro offered Milander two possible jobs, one with Grants Pass High School or one with

Eagle Point High Schoo were very certain.

The Fulbright Scholarship came from those two interests. Lipkind studied abroad in Vienna fall semester 2012, so she already knew the city.

“Originally, I hadn’t planned on doing research. I just wanted to teach abroad, but I soon realized Austria only offered combined grants for both research and teaching assistantships,” Lipkind said.

It was then that she turned to her other interest.

“I’ve always been very involved with LGBT organizations and LGBT youth support and throughout the past year I have come to realize that my interest is more than a hobby. I can see myself making a huge difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth,” Lipkind said.

Caren Siegel Siegel became involved with the wine industry on accident after being accepted into the Oregon Wine Industry Experience Internship.

“I didn’t expect to like the experience as much as I did, but I’ve learned so much, and I think it has definitely been one of the more valuable experiences I’ve had in my four years at Linfield,” Siegel said.

Aside from the internship, Siegel has been prepared for her job at Coeur de Terre vineyard by majoring in creative writing.

“Surprisingly, a variety of majors built up the wine industry in Oregon to what it is today.

I met so many people over the summer who were successful wine makers and vineyard owners who were history majors, English majors, math majors, etc.,” Siegel said.

Singer-songwriter shares his story, French culture Gilberto Galvez Culture Editor

A French singer-songwriter visited Linfield May 8. The event, hosted by French Club, promoted French culture, and singer-songwriter Eric John Kaiser performed his own songs throughout the event, telling his story and the stories of various famous French musicians.

Kaiser began by mentioning that he was born in Paris but has lived in Portland since Aug. 2006. The first song he sang was one of his own, “L’Odyssé,” which told his story.

The first famous French musician Kaiser described was Charles Aznavour, one of his favorites, and he sang “Emmenez Moi” by Aznavour.

Kaiser continued on by telling more of his story, mentioning that he left Paris for Portland because of a girl. He wrote a song about his trip to Portland.

“The day I left Paris, I had a cab waiting for me. In the

rush, I forgot my guitar and chose to walk, so I wrote a blues song about it,” Kaiser said.

The song he wrote about it was called “Le Pari.”

“Of course, it didn’t work out with the girl. I wrote a song about how men don’t understand anything about women,” Kaiser said about his song “Le Puzzle.”

Kaiser then told the story of Edith Piaf.

“Piaf means little bird, and the legend says that she was born on the streets. Her mom was a street singer. Edith’s grandmother worked in a brothel in Normandy,” Kaiser said.

He chose to sing “La vie en rose” by Edith Piaf. After that, he introduced songs by Jaques Brel, Yves Montano, Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Hallyday, Claude François.

Hallyday and François both took American songs and adapted them into French.

“He started playing music in the sixties, adapting American music into French,” Kaiser said of Hallyday.

“Claude François is kind

of a French disco artist if you have to put him in a box,” Kaiser said.

Both of the artists didn’t neccesarily translate American songs. They adapted the melody with different lyrics and meanings in French.

The last song of his own that Kaiser sang was “Tandem.”

“I think a relationship is like riding a tandem bike. You have to be two to pedal, two to decide where to go, and if someone gets off, there’s no more relationship,” Kaiser said.

Kaiser introduced his last song, “Non, je ne regrette rien” by Edith Piaf with a personal story.

“One day, I met this beautiful lady, and she became my wife. And we sing together, so I’m going to play you our wedding song,” Kaiser said.

You can find Kaiser on Spotify as well as most of the other artists that Kaiser mentioned throughout his presentation.

Senior Recital: Zach Davis

Rosa Johnson/Managing editor Geometric shapes decorate the outside of the Bike Co-Op. Mitch Horning worked on the window paint.

Fresh start comes into shape for Bike Co-op Rosa Johnson Managing Editor

Yucheng Zhang/Senior photographer Zach Davis delivers his senior recital after completing his composition recital in the fall. Davis will be attending the Mannes College of Music in New York City this fall.

A fresh coat of paint has come to Linfield’s Bike Co-Op along with a new manager.

Senior and current manager of the co-op Katherine Takaoka has been with the co-op since it first opened in fall of 2009.

Before the Bike Co-Op was established, the space was just storage, starting off as a student-run initiative that was sponsored by outside funding through the Oregon Campus Compact Grant. In the spring of 2010, Takaoka joined forces with adjunct professor of art Totem Shriver’s studio practices class to use the mural on the Bike Co-op as their collaborative project.

Shriver led a First CLAS group in painting the front

of the Bike Co-op. Currently, the Co-op is painted all white with a pastel geometric pattern inspired by the artist Sol LeWitt who specializes in wall drawings and murals.

Since the windstorm hit the Bike Co-op with a lot of damages including cracking one of the windows, local sign painter Mitch Horning handpainted the new Bike Co-op sign and this inspired the most recent makeover for the Co-op. Horning also painted windows for other local business on Third Street such as Community Plate.

Horning is eager to do other painting jobs on campus such as the Game Room and CIC. The current mural is also being done by Shriver’s art class and is expected to be finished by the end of the current semester.

With this project finishing

up the Bike Co-op has hired a new manager in order to continue helping students have access to sustainable transportation. Freshman Wyatt Lay was chosen because of his enthusiasm and his prior experience with bike repair according to Takaoka. Within the upcoming year the Bike Co-op aspires to become paperless by having all of their forms available online, making more bikes and bike locks available and purchasing through local retailers like Tommy’s Bike Shop on Third Street.

“It’s a student-run space with an opportunity for artistic expression,” Takaoka said.

“We enjoy using local resources to create the involvement for sustainability projects.”

‘Scott Pilgrim’goes from comic to movie to game Paige Jurgensen Columnist Between 2004 and 2010, author Bryan Lee O’Malley introduced the world to Scott Pilgram and his group of diverse secondary characters.

The “Scott Pilgram” series is a collection of six volumes, originally released in black and white but later released in full color. The comics a young bass player, Scott Pilgram, who starts out his adventure by dating a seventeen year old schoolgirl turned groupie, Knives Chau, and trying to find success in his band

Sex Bob-omb. Until one day he encounters a beautiful, alternative, woman named Ramona Flowers.

For a bit Scott juggles both Knives and Ramona, but eventually sticks with just Ramona. However, with all of Ramona’s great attributes, she does have one very small flaw: her evil ex’s. A group of seven evil ex’s actively try to stop Scott from being with Ramona from being together, so in order to further his relationship with Ramona, Scott must defeat all seven of the ex’s in battle.

The comic book series is visually based off of the Jap-

Photo courtesy of e.wikipedia.org anese manga style, which sparked a little bit of controversy saying that O’Malley was trying to “rip-off” or Westernize the style, how-

ever that eventually fizzled away. Japanese comic artists, such as Koji Aihara, defended O’Malley by stating “I did feel the inspiration from Japanese manga, but it did not strike me as a ripoff of manga style, but a very unique way of expression, I found it a very interesting work. I appreciated you using your own style of expression. Also, I thought your use of solid blacks was very skilled and attractive.”

The story of “Scott Pilgram” was an immediate success. In 2005, O’Malley won the Doug Wright Award for Best Emerging Talent for “Scott Pilgram’s

Precious Little Life,” the first volume of the series.

Since 2005, O’Malley has just kept winning awards for the series. Overall, Scott Pilgram was ranked number 69 in the 100 best comic book heroes and the series itself was number 85 on “The 200 Greatest Comic Books of All Time.”

The story of “Scott Pilgram” is probably best known for the film adaption in 2010, Scott Pilgram vs.

The World, starring Michael Cera as Scott Pilgram and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers. The movie was a critical success and essentially the entire thing

is gif-ed on Tumblr. Unlike most film adaptions of anything literary, the Scott Pilgram movie stays fairly true to the original comic book story.

In addition, in 2010 “Scott Pilgram” was released in video game form called Scott Pilgram vs. The World: The Game. The video game, upon being released, was available for download for a reasonable price which allowed it to be played by a large audience and the game was reviewed positively by the critics.

ABC renews ‘Scandal,’ ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and more Yvonne Villareal Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES _ ABC, the only network to have bypassed handing out early renewals for its series, is finally feeling generous.

Returning for the 20142015 season are “Scandal,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Once Upon a Time,” “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” “Resurrection,” “Castle,” “Revenge,” as well as comedies “Modern Family”

and “The Goldbergs.”

Among the #soobvious renewals is that for “Scandal.” The buzzy soap starring Kerry Washington didn’t slow in its third season, storyline-wise, or buzz-wise. And it translated in the ratings, with it averaging a 3.0 among the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demo and 9 million total viewers. Numbers that increase significantly when DVR viewings over seven days are factored in.

Rhimes’ other addictive soap, “Grey’s Anatomy” will return for an 11th season. The veteran medical drama remains a force on ABC’s slate. This season saw the exit of original cast member Sandra Oh. Meanwhile, fantasy drama “Once Upon a Time” got a life extension even while its Alice in Wonderland spinoff got the boot earlier in the season. Its third season took a slight dip, averaging a 2.2 among the 18-49 demo

on crowded Sunday night.

And newbies “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” survived the cut. The renewal of the “S.H.I.E.L.D,” despite its modest ratings, was not unexpected. And it comes in conjunction with the pickup of another Marvel property and Captain America spin-off “Marvel’s Agent Carter.” As for freshman drama “Resurrection,” the show about dead people returning to life in a small town, has been

a strong performer in the demo.

Also returning to the network is modest-performing “Revenge” and long-running procedural “Castle.” The Monday night drama, which averages 10 million viewers in its current run, will return for a seventh season.

On the comedy side, vet “Modern Family” and newbie “The Goldbergs” are the first laffers on the network to score renewals.

“Modern Family,” an Emmy force and strong ratings performer, will return for a sixth season. While ‘80s-set “The Goldbergs,” a semiautobigraphical comedy from showrunner Adam F. Goldberg and executive producer Seth Gordon, will return for a second season after a strong first season.

It launched to a 3.2 in the young adult demo and has managed to surpass Fox’s “New Girl” in live-plussame day airings.

Pharrell Williams keeps fans and the radio happy with new album Vanessa So KSLC If you think you’ve been seeing or hearing Pharrell Williams all over your televisions and radios lately, it’s because you definitely have. Better known by just his first name, Pharrell has been having a phenomenal year, which has carried over from 2013.

His collaboration with Daft Punk earned him a Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the hit “Get Lucky.” Not only did “Get Lucky” burn the charts, but Pharell’s collaboration with Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” stayed atop the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for several weeks.

Coming off the success from 2013, Pharrell is ready for the spotlight as he releases his sophomore album, “GIRL.” The critical and commercial success of his Despicable Me 2 penned-track, “Happy,” accomplished many goals that he never thought were possible.

In a recent interview with Oprah Winrey, Pharrell says he still finds the success surprising after being in the music industry

Photo courtesy of pharrellwilliams.com for more than 20 years, “It’s overwhelming, because it’s like I love what I do.” He continues, “I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long that I could make it to this point to feel that [referring to “Happy”].”

Though a departure from his hip-hop band N.E.R.D, “GIRL,” still has the funk, soul and recognizable beats that his production team The Neptunes would create.

“GIRL” opens with “Marilyn Monroe,” a track

that is not about who you think it’s about. Introduced with orchestral strings filled with a skittering beat and a bumping bass line, the lyrics depict hopeless romantics and finding the perfect woman. “[I] sort of [wanted to] reverse the connotation behind these statuesque standards of what beauty has to be,” Pharrell says of the lyrics.

It wouldn’t be Pharrell if he didn’t include a collaboration or two. Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus

and a standout track with Alicia Keys make the album.

“Know Who You Are,” which tackles the problems of knowing one’s self-worth and ambitions, is led by a funky bass line, with a relaxed, island and feel-good vibe.

“GIRL” follows some of the same formula that the likes of Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke and Daft Punk did a year before. Bringing back the ’70s and ’80s, neo-funk and soul is always refreshing, but the bars were set high for Mr. Producer of the Year. Will he be able to top “Happy”?

Pharrell Williams’s ”GIRL” is available for digital download on iTunes and available for purchase in stores. You can also check out “GIRL” on KSLC 90.3 FM and listen online at www.linfield. edu/kslcfm or stream the station on iTunes.

Linfield’s sports broadcasting program rapidly progressing Stephanie Hofmann Opinion editor

Photo courtesy of Nicole Paulachak Retiring swim coach Gary Gutierrez stands after the NWC Championships with seniors Lee Rivers and Chris Mapp at Federal Way, Wash. on Feb. 16. This will be his final year of 16 years coaching the Linfield Wildcats.

Linfield’s swim coach retires and leaves behind a legacy to admire Ryan Morgan For the Review The head coach of Linfield’s swimming program will retire after this 20132014 season.

Gary Gutierrez, also Linfield’s aquatics director, has had a successful 16-year career as head coach of the swim team.

Gutierrez has headed Linfield’s swimming program since 1998. He is the lon-

gest tenured coach in the program’s history.

Gutierrez was named the Northwest Conference’s women’s coach of the year in 2002.

He was also named the Northwest Conference’s men’s coach of the year in 2005 and then again in 2009.

Under Gutierrez’s guidance, Linfield swimmers set 13 individual records and one relay record.

“[Gary] is a wonderful guy. I had a great year with him,” freshman Christopher Hu said.

“I enjoyed my year with Gary. I learned a lot from his knowledge on swimming technique,” freshman Jonathan Williams wrote in an email. “He helped my breaststroke a lot.”

Gutierrez graduated from the University of Oregon in 1977 with a degree in romance languages. He

proceeded to attain the requirements of a second major in physical education from the University of Wisconsin in 1979.

Gutierrez will remain at Linfield as a part time instructor in the HHPA department.

A national search is underway to find Gutierrez’s replacement.

No matter how far away from campus you are you can still be kept up to date with every home sporting event.

This is the promise of the sports broadcasting program for KSLC. Over the past couple of years this clubs has gone from a couple of guys only doing three sports all year to a staff doing at times four sports a week.

“Pure student dedication and love of doing it,” Assistant Professor of Mass Communications Michael Huntsberger said. “That what gets people on the air and want to continue improving it.”

Huntsberger, the adviser of KSLC, remembers coming into the program four years ago to a ghost of a media program. From there with student’s dedication and love for sports they were able to get not only KSLC off its feet, but the sports broadcasting program. General Manager, senior Jerry Young came in right when the program was changing. He worked with six other guys to bring the broadcast off its feet.

They knew they had succeeded when they were covering a playoff football game in 2012, where 1500 people were listening to them.

“At first we were just doing it for fun and then two years later we had 1500 people listening,” Young said. “It was crazy.”

It wasn’t a smooth ride to 1500 listeners, because like any craft it takes awhile to get down. Once each of the students were able to be on the air they were able to correct their mistakes and make the broadcast that much better.

“Developing those habits was a challenge,” Huntsberger said. “You are terrible when you start, but then

you get better. We were able to give people many opportunities to get airtime, which helped. They could listen to what they did well and then try to get better.”

The students that made these big changes are almost all graduated now with the final round of students leaving this year.

After putting four years into the program it’s hard to not want to listen.

“I will be listening to the next couple of years,” Young said. “I’m curious how they will do without them being able to call me and have them be on their own when something goes wrong. I will defiantly keep listening.”

The sports broadcasting program will have a lot to listen to next year with them doing play-by-plays for a total of nine sports including football, baseball, soccer, volleyball and basketball. With many of the top broadcasters graduating this year, airtime is opening up for the next generation of sports reporters.

“We need to continue to get more people involved,” Huntsberger said. “We are going to lose a couple of people, but then others will see the opportunity and join. It just comes from people that we know that we exist. Just to hear that it continues to grow so we can provide the broadcast, but also improving the quality.”

As students come into the program and make it better, there is one thing that never fails. It’s a group of people that love sports and want to talk about it.

“It just kind of keeps going,” Huntsberger said.

“We more that we do it, the more people get into it.

The thing that Linfield does that makes it great is it has students that really love sports.”

Sports Commentary

ABC’s Steve Osunsami, Brown does not see her blindness as merely an obstacle that can be moved and jumped over. “I think everyone struggles with something in life,” said Brown. “This is my something.”

Brown’s vision is almost completely gone. The most she is able to see is as much as what normal visioned people can see looking down the whole of a dark straw. So how is she able to not only pole vault, but be one of the best pole vaulter’s in the country?

There are nine steps that Brown takes in order to compete at her highest level. First she walks with her

guide dog, Vador, to familiarize herself with her surroundings and memorize the route from pit to starting line. Next, Brown counts her steps like any other polevaulter, but marks her starting point with the lid of her chalk container so she can find it easily with her foot.

Her Coach then lays artificial turf next to her lane.

Brown is still able to make out the difference between dark and light colors, so the difference between the turf and her lane helps her to run straight. Brown then takes down the 81 foot run way and counts each of her steps, planting on stride six and jumping on stride seven. A beeper which Brown

Blind pole vaulter surprises at state finals We’ve all heard about athletes who were challenged to beat the odds to continue to compete in the sport they love. For high school Junior Charlotte Brown, it was her blindness that she had to learn to accept and adjust in order to aim high and compete in her second Texas State track and field class 3A Championship.

Charlotte Brown’s vision has been deteriorating at an alarming rate since last year’s State Competition. She’s been losing her site ever since she was 16 weeks old. Doctors have been baffled by her condition ever since and despite multiple surgeries to try to save her vision, none of

Camille Weber Sports columnist them worked. Last year, Brown was diagnosed as legally blind right before the State Competition. Despite the news, Brown was able to compete and took eighth place in the Texas State Competition clearing 10ft 6in.

In an interview with

tucks between the pads and the planting box helps guide her to the vaulting box. Her coach also acts as a back-up to the high pitched beeper.

After planting the pole into the vaulting box, Brown is up in the air and is able to clear the bar.

This year Brown finished in a two-way tie for fourth with a clearing height of 11 feet 6 inches, a remarkable one foot improvement since last year’s competition.

Although she admits to have jumped higher during practice, even her competitors are impressed with Brown’s perseverance.

“The biggest way I can describe it is that everybody knows her from pole

vault, but she [also] runs the last leg of the mile relay.

We were fortunate to beat her once, but we know we have to have a lead on her because when she’s coming down that homestretch and driving her arms, let me tell you, that competitive spirit is impressive.”

So next time you Wildcats are lacking motivation to overcome an obstacle whether it be on the field or in the classroom, just remember that there are individuals all around us who are re-writing the rules, defying the odds and succeeding despite the hardships.

Student athletes excel during summer camp Alec Wisthoff Sports editor With football starting their morning practices once again they look to improve, not just their program, but also those of high schools within the area.

The Linfield Wildcats football team is hosting two summer camps for local high schools within the area from June 15-18 and from

Coach Joe Smith June 19-22. There are 800 kids attending each camp, making this largest camp ever recorded with over 1600 campers total.

“Coach [Ad] Rutschman started the team camp in the late 80s I believe,” Coach Joe Smith said in an email.

“When I first started coaching in 1993, it was already going strong.”

One of the main reasons for this camp is to develop relationships between the high school athletes and staff. The camp encourages each high school team to develop trust and pride within their team.

“I get to be around football for eight full days, running around, teaching others about the game I love,” senior Tim Edmonds said

in an email. “I get to spend time with my coaches and teammates where we are able to develop stronger relationships with one another.”

With the cost of the camp being as low as possible and 32 schools attending, this camp will offer the most bang for its buck. Each camp will give team instruction and individual periods with the Linfield staff.

“During the positionspecific sessions, I would use the knowledge and techniques I’ve learned while playing at Linfield and put the high school players through drills to relay that knowledge and techniques in hopes of forming them into better linebackers,” senior Dominique Forrest said in an email. “During the team scrimmage, teams are placed into a controlled scrimmages and Linfield players and coaches take on the role of referees.”

The camp gives the Linfield players a chance to give back the knowledge they have gained while playing for Linfield. The camp allows the next generation of high school athletes to experience how college football differs from high school.

“It feels awesome to have kids look up to you and know your preparing the next generation of high school football athletes,” Forrest said in an email.

“It’s an awesome experience for the high school players, us Linfield players and coaches.”

another heartbreaking loss with score 7-6. The ’Cats were scared in the top of the first inning as they gave up two runs in the top of the first and second putting them down 4-0. However, they responded with two runs in the bottom of the second from a home run by senior Haylie Watson.

With the scored at 4-2, there was no doubt that the ’Cats were remaining hopeful. However, a three run inning at the top of the fourth costed them as they

would never catch up to Redlands seven runs. The Wildcats responded with four runs at the bottom of the fifth inning with a home runs from senior Ashley Garcia and Watson. Nonetheless, they came up one run short of a tied game and potential win.

Duman notes, “We had a successful season and we accomplished many great things.” Although the Wildcats fell short of their hopes this post season, there’s no doubt that they will have great seasons ahead.
