Issue No. 3

Delta moves forward Jonathan Williams @linfieldreviewnews The brothers of Delta Psi Delta are adamant they will be able to rush new members in the spring.

The fraternity fell short in academics last semester, causing them to be put on probation.

The oldest local fraternity in the Northwest did not make the GPA requirement last semester when they accumulated a 2.86 GPA missing the standard of 2.91.

The current 11 active brothers in the fraternity are working hard this semester to erase the question of them being not able to hold rush events during the spring semester.

Delta Psi Delta president Michael Zier commented that the fraternity’s GPA shortfall last semester “wasn’t for a lack of trying.” Internal cohesion is one of Zier’s main goals for the brothers so they won’t have to deal with academic and chapter dysfunction in the future.

Zier is a senior at Linfield completing a major in economics. He is also a member of the forensics team.

Zier has implemented required study hours of two hours per night for all brothers in the fraternity as well as four times during the semester in which brothers are required to visit each of their professor’s office hours.

The brotherhood wants to work with other fraternities on campus to create study groups for different classes.

Zier wants Linfield students to know that, “It’s never too late to rush, we are a very mixed fraternity with brothers involved in athletics, music, and extracurricular academic pursuits.”

Delta Psi Delta is based upon four core values. Their values include scholastic achievement, fraternal fellowship, social development and Christian manhood.

The fraternity is planning to be involved in a variety of community service events this semester.

They are planning on volunteering for Taste of Service, a clean up for the wellness trail, putting on a haunted house with the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and other Greek life projects put on with the Associated Students of Linfield College.

“Many people have already expressed interest in becoming a new member in the spring,” Zier said. If the fraternity meets the GPA requirement, students will be able to rush in the spring.

“Potential new members are invited to attend community >> See Delta on Page 6

EDITORIAL

Jan Term required for new students It was announced a couple of weeks ago that January Term is going to be required for the students who will be entering Linfield College next year.

This will help the Linfield community come together more and give students the chance to become more academically secure.

Normally when Jan Term would come around, Linfield is a ghost town. Fewer than half of the students are on campus and it’s normally too cold to go outside willingly, so not a single student will be walking around.

When the rule takes effect next year, the Linfield community will come back too.

Now, when there is a basketball game or a concert

September 22, 2014

in Ice people will actually show up which hasn’t happened in years. Before, even if everyone did show up that did Jan Term it would only fill up half of the courts.

Now that every student will be required to take Jan Term, student sections will be louder and student activities will be more full.

Another great thing about the Jan Term ruling is that students wont have to deal with the awkward lag between Christmas break and the spring semester.

Two months is too long of a time in the middle of the academic year. The summer break is an expected break that people can plan other classes to take or have a job. This winter break is at a

weird time, because no company will give someone a job during this time and no other college does a break like this so you can’t add more credits at another college.

So now that people are going to be here for all of Jan Term, they won’t have the weird lag in their academic calendar.

This will also give students the chance to take classes that are only offered during the short semester.

There are classes such as “Economics of Star Trek” with professor Randy Grant and a InDesign class in the mass communication department that aren’t offered at any other time.

There are also classes that are basic requirements for

different majors that in Jan Term students are able to take in just a month.

This is really helpful if a student is falling behind in credits or decided to change their major during their sophomore year.

They are able to catch up in a beginner class without having to waste a whole semester.

Overall, the changes to the January Term requirements will help the Linfield community come together in a normally dull period and provide students with the chance to go farther with their academics.

Letter to the Editor

As a student in the mass communication department I was taught components to make a good story: 1.Timeliness 2.Personal story and 3. Proximity, so congratulations editor-in-chief you have learned the fundamentals of a news story. But in regards to the article about the sexual assault that happened on campus, a story about a fellow student who survived a traumatic event, some discretion and respect should have been shown.

The amount of personal information that was disclosed in this article is sickening. No, the SURVIVOR’S (not victim) name was not mentioned, but every other detail was. Linfield is a university of a mere 1,700 students on the McMinnville campus, it

is no secret that stories and large events such as this are widely known. Which means the other students who know the survivor will probably now know that she “had difficulties controlling her bowl movements and urinating,” because this article showed no mercy when detailing the actions of the night.

The healing process of a survivor is heartbreaking and will take an incalculable amount of time. As someone who has witnessed the healing process, I cannot imagine the feelings that the survivor is dealing with just to heal from this traumatic event and now is faced with knowing that every student at Linfield (as well as the surrounding community because of the online portion of the Review)

knows about exact details of this night. As a mass communication student I agree with free press and the importance of alerting the public of the events around them. However, more steps should have been taken to maintain the sensitivity of this topic and the privacy of the student.

The Linfield staff that approved this article does not hold the student’s safety and well-being in high standards.

This article lacks support for this or other students that have been affected by a similar event.

I am disappointed and frankly ashamed to be a part of a department or college that allows for such lack of good judgment and journalistic integrity to take place.

Let’s Talk About Sex Left. Right. Right. Right.

Left. Oh my gosh that person is hot *frantically swipes right.* These are the sounds of Tinder.

This amazing app gives you the ability to pick out your own batch of guys or girls that you want to meet all in the comfort of your dorm room, boring history class, lunch hour at Dillin or a comfy coach in Starbucks.

No longer can singles use the excuse that there are no available people around to meet since the invitation of the best matchmaker in the world.

Tinder has taken off in the last couple of months as a place for single to get to know the people on the other side of that smart phone before actually meeting them.

The time from texting to meeting is getting shorter every week. As people get more comfortable with how Tinder works and the people on it, the more people are opening up to that way of life.

This handy app has

Stephanie Hofmann @linfieldreviewopinion made it possible to meet new people with a simple swipe to the right. Now singles everywhere don’t have to rely on friends of friends or someone’s ‘really cool’ cousin in order to have a fun night with someone.

People are now meeting for a lot more than coffee.

Tinder hook ups and some that even lead to real relationships are becoming more common.

By taking away the awkward event of being rejected Tinder allows everyone to put themselves out there. This lets people connect with people that they would have never gone up to before and make a connection.

It’s the safe Internet dat-

ing service for the common college student. People no longer give people a stink eye for saying that they met up with someone on Tinder.

It’s not like meeting someone awkwardly on Facebook or even weirder Instagram. Tinder has become a completely reasonable way to meet up with people.

This doesn’t mean that you could just jump into the world of Tinder and meet every random person that you match up with.

It’s important to remember that is this an online site and there are weird people out there like murderers.

So while it is fun to meet up with people, the first place should be an open one around a lot of other people, because let’s be honest some people are sketchy.

Tinder is the new way for people all around the Linfield world can get together and have fun.

So get out there ‘Cats and start swiping right.

Politics

Staffer encourages political activism by supporting Measure 88 People’s safety should be a government’s highest priority. In fact, it might even be the reason we have governments at all, for structure and assurance. A new measure, Measure 88, is a on this year’s upcoming Oregon ballot. Part of its focus is on safety, road safety to be specific The measure would allow for undocumented people in Oregon to obtain a driver’s card. The driver’s card is solely for the purpose of making sure that we have

Gilberto Galvez @linfieldreviewculture only certified and insured drivers on roads. It won’t allow them to board planes, enter a federal building, to register to vote or anything

else that would federally require proof of citizenship.

Some people who would apply for this card are already applying for citizenship. This would allow them to safely drive to work in the meantime, making easier for them to contribute to the local economy and to be prepared as citizens once they have gone through the process.

If people need to get to work, especially in rural areas, they will drive. It isn’t much of a choice. It is a

necessity. Driving without a license increases safety risks for everyone, not just the driver.

Anyone injured by a driver without insurance, would have a hard time covering for the injury, but a driver’s card would allow for people to buy insurance, keeping roads safe.

A vote for Measure 88 is a vote for safer roads. Everyone on the roads would be affected. Even if it doesn’t affect you directly, you might have friends who have fam-

ily members that would directly be affected by this measure.

Ultimately, it is important for everyone to vote. If you haven’t registered to vote, MEChA is currently doing a voter registration drive in Dillin.

Go register. Maybe fill out a pledge to vote yes on Measure 88 or just stop by to ask for more information. Anyone at the table would be happy to talk to you. There can always be a slight fear surrounding political activ-

ism. It is the fear that everyone out there might not be interested in what you have to say.

In fact, this fear can surround more than just political activism. I know that I myself have dealt with it too.

But it is far better to speak out than to regret not speaking out. If you are passionate about something, don’t temper that passion completely because you think it might be too much for some people.

Campus Life

Students misled by advertisement of work study

Looking for a job on campus? According to the Department of Human Resources, “it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.”

When each student opened their financial aid package they read over the total amount of money they would be able to make through on-campus employment. With parents breathing down their necks, loans that will need to be paid off in the back of their minds, and the obvious need for snacks, this amount of money no matter how high or low looks extremely promising.

Shelby Sweet @linfieldreview And when starting out, it seems just as easy as they say. Make you resume, find what fits into your schedule, fill out the application and there you go. But, when looking at the listed options, it is extremely limited.

With just over 1,600 students, one can only imagine how many are looking for a work study position.

It seems as if this opportunity is advertised so frequently and right from the start before some have even stepped foot on the campus, that it can be misleading.

Reading how much money they can make and finding out about how “easy” it is to find a position that fits them, often leads students to think that they are bound to get a job.

The part that is left out of this process is the ratio of students to positions.

As week three of school comes to an end, there are just a handful left.

Upperclassmen have jobs nailed down from the past, students who don’t need to make changes to their schedules are able to reserve their spots quicker than those who are still trying to figure it out. And let’s face it, many of us still haven’t figured it out.

Words have gone around saying that the number of work study positions this school year are looking much smaller than the listings from last year.

What does this mean for

students who have yet to find a job or for those who are waiting until next year?

Don’t get me wrong. The idea of a work study job is wonderful.

Not only is working here on campus convenient, but it provides so many chances to learn and grow. Valuable lessons can be taken from the work that is being done and the faculty that students will be alongside.

Students are told that this is one of the best ways to make connections for their futures and get prepared for what is to come. Linfield students are all in all pretty

lucky to have this opportunity.

But are they being told something that may not happen?

The high expectations students have when applying for work study could very well be coming from how painless they are being told it is.

So watch out Wildcats. If the rumors about less work study being available in the future are true then it might be harder to get a job that works for you, no matter how easy they say it is.

The event was put on to raise money for the Homeward Bound Pets shelter, which is Oregon’s longest running no-kill shelter. Sophomore from Linfield Ryan Morgan was the first finisher in the 5k race. Morgan is a business major and is a brother and house manager in the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Understanding students’ FERPA rights Samantha Sigler @linfieldreviewnews Students’ privacy rights at Linfield College are protected under FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) — but many students do not fully understand what these rights are, or what they mean.

There are three main rights students have in regard to their education records, said Diane Crabtree, college registrar, and Ellen Crabtree, director of Academic Advising, in an email: 1) The right to inspect their records.

This means that a student

can view their records in the Registrar’s Office (or other office managing the records). This usually doesn’t matter to most students, but if the need ever arises, it is good to know that students have this right.

2) The right to seek to amend inaccurate or misleading records.

This means that students have the right to ask us to change records that they think are inaccurate. This does not apply to grades or decisions made by Linfield; however, those have other processes with which to appeal.

3) The right to control access to their records.

This means that students

can give permission for a part of their record to be disclosed to someone else and that students get to decide whether or not Linfield can disclose their directory information. This includes basic information, such as ‘is this person a student at Linfield?’

The biggest misunderstanding for students is the different levels of releasing information, according to Diane and Ellen.

“Students may misunderstand the difference between consent to release directory information versus consenting to release academic information,” Diane and Ellen said in an email.

“We think they also get

confused about the process by which they can give or withhold consent to release information. The consent forms are on WebAdvisor.”

FERPA’s main benefit is giving students the power when deciding whether Linfield is able to disclose private information, according to Diane and Ellen.

This includes directory information, such as whether a student is even attending Linfield College. This is helpful when students are being stalked, are estranged from their parents or simply do not want others to know they are attending Linfield.

However, there are several unintended consequenc-

es that may harm students.

If a student has placed a hold on their directory information, this means that Linfield cannot acknowledge to a third party that the student is indeed a student, according to Diane and Ellen. This includes verifying enrollment and graduation for potential employers.

Linfield also cannot publish the student’s name in any publications, including athletic programs and the commencement program.

“The good news is that a student can change their decision regarding disclosure of directory information at any time on WebAdvisor,” Diane and Ellen

said in an email. “Control of their own information is a responsibility that students must figure out how to manage. A student’s consent to release information doesn’t obligate the institution to provide regular updates to the outsiders (including parents). We encourage students to develop effective ways to communicate with appropriate outsiders about academic and financial information.”

Farmer’s market wraps up the harvest season From top left freshman Alex Brown (right) visits the Linfield Farmer’s Market on Tuesday, Sept.

Shelby Sweet @linfieldreviewnews Sept. 16 was the last farmer’s market students will have at Linfield until next spring.

The Linfield farmer’s market has been a way to connect students to the Yamhill County community through fresh produce and green environmental choices. “This market offers

fresh, organic, healthy, vibrant foods that we wanted to bring here for students to see,” said Duncan Reid, sustainability coordinator.

There was fresh produce ranging from zucchini to grapes at the market Tuesday. Along with bundles of fresh flowers and even some fermented foods. Students browsed the tables to check out the healthy foods and converse with some of

the vendors.

“All of these wholesome, organic foods are harvested from the McMinnville area.

Some from the Linfield garden just on the other side of Renshaw, Growing Wild located in the Willamette Valley, and the Yamhill River Farm located in Sheridan,” Reid said.

Each of these farms and our garden believe in local, sustainable food sys-

tems where fresh crops can be grown and distributed throughout the community.

Not only do these foods taste better, but they are also much healthier than alternative food that could be genetically modified.

By purchasing from local farms, the McMinnville economy can be strengthened and thrive.

Although this Linfield farmer’s market was the

last for a while, there is a year round farmer’s market at the Grange every Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Another option would be the market downtown off of Third Street which is on Thursday’s from 1-6 p.m.

Attending these markets is an enjoyable and easy way to get involved and support the McMinnville area.

“If anyone is interested we have plenty of oppor-

tunities for you to get involved. You can work in the garden, the markets, or student CSA. There is also an internship program available in the next month,” Reid said. If you have any questions or wish to get involved contact Reid at sustainability@linfield.edu.

Linfield remains tied to its liberal arts education Jonathan Williams @linfieldreviewnews Linfield College like other private liberal arts institutions places an emphasize on taking a wide variety classes no matter what a student decides to major in.

As the media and STEM initiative are placing a greater importance on science based degrees Linfield remains confident in providing the best wellrounded education for its students.

By the numbers reported on the annual Fact Book from the college for 2013, the number of majors in the sciences has stayed relatively the same throughout the past nine years.

The same can be said for

the number of majors in the English, history, philosophy and sociology/anthropology departments.

Vice president of Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty Susan Agre-Kippenhan said, “Linfield is committed to providing the best education for its students.”

When the college looks to higher a new professor the competition for that position is extremely high.

“We look for professor’s that can teach not just major’s in their department but also all of the students that are completing a Linfield Curriculum credit through their class,” AgreKippenhan said.

The college has been able to add four endowed posi-

tions which allows the college to higher more professors.

The science departments are important to the success of Linfield students because of the number of nursing majors that have to take principles of biology and general chemistry as well as additional science classes to complete the nursing major.

The college is interested in building a new science building possibly in 2018 because, “Science is always changing and our facilities need to be able provide the best environment for students,” Agre-Kippenhan said.

“Linfield wants to create literate students across all fields,”Agre-Kippenhan said.

The college is continually trying to accommodate student interest. An example of this is the addition of the biochemistry major.

The way Linfield’s academic programs are set up allows students to double major in a wide variety of majors.

One third of students participate in athletics at Linfield. Over half of the students at Linfield major in a pre-professional field.

Agre-Kippenhan said, “Students often major in fields that people they know have completed or because it was something they knew they were interested in before the came to Linfield.”

“It takes a great base experience and professor in a

class for a student to choose a different major than what they had originally planned,” Agre-Kippenhan said.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics 15 percent of students at Linfield complete a STEM related major compared to 20 percent at Willamette University and 29 percent at Whitman College.

Other local private institutions were included in the bar graph.

“These statistics help us see where Linfield is at compared to similar colleges and universities that provide some of the same resources. These statistics don’t really worry us ... they give us an idea of what

students are interested in pursuing at Linfield,” AgreKippenhan said.

The college uses the Linfield Curriculum as well as the Program for Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement to promote the liberal arts and to make sure students are educated in a wide variety of fields.

As the media influence on which major will make a student most financially secure after college, Linfield remains an institution that prepares students to proceed into any field they choose because of their liberal arts education.

Garza is suspended from Linfield until both college conduct proceedings and the criminal case are resolved, she wrote.

“The definition of sexual misconduct at Linfield does not stop at actions prohibited by law. It also includes unwanted kissing, unwanted touching, or unwanted sexual contact,” she wrote.

Linfield has resources to try to prevent and address cases of sexual misconduct, including training programs such as the Consent Awareness Training Squad, anonymous Misconduct Report Forms, and a Sexual Misconduct Response

Additionally, “All new students must participate in an educational program in compliance with the standards set forth in Title IX and Campus SaVE Acts, combining sexual assault and substance abuse prevention in a comprehensive online training program,” Mileham wrote.

“Our goal is to protect students and to ensure a safe and livable environment for students,” Ron Noble, director of College Public Safety, said.

There were five sexual assaults in the 2013 calendar year and two sexual assaults so far in the 2014 calendar year, according to Noble.

The police investigation is ongoing.

Linfield takes ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Mikenna Whatley/Features editor Our Ice Bucket photographer sophomore Michaela Fujita impulsively decides to join in the fun of the challenge and is being iced by sophomore Haley Oliver.

If you’ve logged onto any kind of social media account within the past few months, or even just watched the news, you’ve inevitably heard about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

According to the National Library of Medicine, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that controls voluntary muscle movement.

The goal of the ALS Ice Bucket challenge is not just raising awareness, but also collecting donations for ALS research. The challenge is to either dump a bucket of ice water over yourself and donate $10 to the ALS Association, or to donate $100.

Either way, awareness and monetary donations were both achieved in copious amounts, a portion of which came from Linfield.

Though Linfield may be small, its students still have the power to make a difference in tons of powerful ways - the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is just one of the many.

ASLC: More than an acronym Mikenna Whatley/Features Editor

Mikenna Whatley can be reached at linfieldreviewfeatures@gmail.com Passion - the driving force behind any effective position or organization.

Passion is exactly what motivates the Associated Students of Linfield College. ASLC President Trey Chiu and Vice President Ivanna Tucker have a passion for making student voices heard.

“I feel that it is important for students to feel that they are a part of something,” Tucker said. “Students should have a say in what they want to see in their college experience.”

Tucker’s initial reason to run for ASLC Vice President was to give students an effective liaison to feel connected to the decisions that are made by student government.

“I’m essentially the voice of the students to the Board of Trustees,” Tucker said. “I give them a chance to have their opinions heard by the administration.”

Tucker wants to maintain a heightened awareness of what Linfield students want as she continues on with her vice presidency throughout this school year.

Chiu’s preliminary reasoning for wanting to be ASLC President was to not only step out of his comfort zone, but encourage other Linfield students to do the same.

“My time [at Linfield] has changed me as a person,” Chiu said, “and that is a direct result of doing things that I wouldn’t normally do.”

Chiu, like countless other students, came to Linfield his freshman year mainly for the athletic scene. Once he got more involved in everything that this school has to offer, however, his life completely transformed.

“I want to encourage others to sort of step out of their bubble,” Chiu said.

“I want to help facilitate those ‘aha!’ moments for others through all of the assets we have at our disposal. There is a lot that can be done.”

One of Tucker and Chiu’s common reasons behind their passion for their positions is making sure that ASLC is effectively using students’ money towards a better college experience for everyone.

Tucker and Chiu are constantly planning events that they hope will be well received by the student body. They want to make Linfield students feel like part of a community, while at the same time improving the image of the college.

“One thing that’s happening this semester for sure is a community service event for the campus,” Tucker said.

This event will involve Linfield students making packages and sending materials to local Yamhill County non profits. Tucker and Chiu hope that through this type of service event Linfield will begin to feel more connected to the outside community.

“We want students to feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves,” Tucker said.

Chiu is also excited for what’s being planned by ASLC for Halloween.

They are still in the preliminary planning stages and can’t disclose too much information on the subject, however.

Tucker is awaiting Homecoming with excited anticipation. ASLC has some great things planned for that week and they hope for an awesome student turn out.

“I love the Linfield Wildcat spirit, and we want to amplify that through Homecoming,” Tucker said.

There are many steps that ASLC has to go through in order to make any kind of event happen on campus. The planning process takes a large amount of external help.

“Humans are like ants in a lot of ways,” Chiu said. “You can’t get anything done alone.”

For any event, whether it’s through ASLC, the Linfield Activities Board, or any other organizational entity on campus, the planning process involves communication with faculty and staff.

“There’s always someone who knows more than you do about what you’re trying to plan,” Chiu said. “Seeking their advice is the best way to go.”

When Chiu or Tucker comes up with an idea for an event, a large portion of their planning is done with guidance from their adviser, Dan Fergueson.

Fergueson is always very supportive of Chiu and Tucker’s ideas, but makes sure to push them to figure out a lot of the preliminary planning steps on their own.

“We need to reserve the space, get approval from advisers, and do all of the publicity,” Tucker said.

Almost everything sponsored by ASLC is paid for by a budget funded by student activity fees. Things like The Linfield Review, the bike co-op, the game room, clubs and Wildstock all fall under that student activity budget.

“We are in the process of developing a graphic that shows where everyone’s money is going to show to students,” Chiu said. “That will be coming out in the near future and will be a clear, definite resource for students.”

Each year every position’s budget is reevaluated to make sure that Linfield students’ money is being used in the most effective way possible.

Featu

The Linfield Activities Board, for example, is allotted a large sum of money that allows them to pay for on-campus concerts, movies, entertainers and Wildstock, as well as off-campus activities like hikes, white water rafting, trips to Portland and more.

ASLC Cabinet projects have their own budget that goes toward things like maintaining the office and providing work-study and stipend positions for students.

Athletics also has a budget that allows Linfield students to get into home games and matches for free.

These are, of course, just a few examples of the way that the student activity fees are allocated in the best way possible. It is important to note that these budgets are not set in stone and change every year.

Aside from dealing with money and budget keeping, Chiu and Tucker spend much of their time dealing with other ASLC-related work.

“Officially, we have 10 hours per week,” Chiu said. “We have eight office hours, an hour-long senate meeting, and an hour-long cabinet meeting.”

But Chiu and Tucker’s ASLC responsibilities extend far further than those 10 hours per week.

“It’s a lot,” Tucker said, “But it’s all about how much heart you have in your position. We’re placed in these roles to be a voice for the students, it’s our job to fully take that on.”

Chiu and Tucker are constantly maintaining and scheduling future events, coming up with new ideas, and working alongside other ASLC members.

“It’s neat how well everyone works together,” Chiu said. “It’s a great dynamic that really contributes to the efficacy of the team as a whole.”

Tucker agrees that the ASLC cabinet is a very cohesive group of individuals who work well with one another.

“We hired these people because we knew they were good at what they did,” Tucker said, “But also because we knew they would work well with others.”

Another group that Tucker works very closely with is the Student Senate, which has representatives from every grade level who meet once a week to discuss the needs and concerns of their particular class.

One way Chiu is working to make sure things run smoothly at Linfield is by looking at other colleges to see what they have done to successfully solve problems. This way, he can work to mirror those successful tactics to solve similar problems at Linfield.

“For me, the most challenging aspect of my position is working around the red tape,” Chiu said. “And by that I mean constraints, and learning the hard way what we are constrained by, and running into road blocks that hinder achievements we want to reach. It’s tough, but not anything insurmountable.”

Tucker finds it most challenging to instill the same passion she has for making Linfield a better place in others.

“I’m very passionate about my position and making sure my vision is carried on,” Tucker said. “It’s hard to get people on the same level of passion and commitment. You need to make people feel accountable for themselves, but also for me, the senate, and the student body.”

Tucker has found that an effective, yet sometimes hard way to make sure things run smoothly is not being afraid to have crucial conversations with students who maybe aren’t putting their best work forward.

“It’s hard working with your peers,” Tucker said. “But you have to have those conversations or else no one will grow. And we want everyone to grow. I do not want us to be stagnant.”

For the most part, Chiu and Tucker have an understanding and appreciation for the things that ASLC is constrained by. However, what does get to them is when students complain on the outside, but never actually make their opinions heard by student government.

“I can’t force students to make their opinions heard by me or Trey or the senate,” Tucker said. “But it’s important if you want to see a change, you need to make it known. If students continue to complain and not let their opinions be heard by the right people, there will be no change.”

Tucker and Chiu want to encourage students who have complaints or concerns about how things are going at Linfield to let one of their class senators know.

“No one ever has anything to talk about in senate meetings about complaints, but we know they’re out there,” Tucker said. “I want people to be comfortable making their opinions known.”

Student senators are meant to be a liaison to groups and individual students so that everyone can voice their opinion in an effective way that can create a positive change.

“Some things can’t be handled, but they should still be addressed,” Tucker said. “And there may be something that can be done, but we can’t even try unless we are made aware of the concerns.”

Without ASLC, there would be an enormous disconnect between the administrative body and students. Chiu works to make sure that disconnect does not happen.

“Without ASLC there would be a missing link to decisions made at the top level and the opinions of the students,” Chiu said.

Chiu finds it important to consider the constraints or reasons for decisions that students may not be fully aware of. He wants to make it clear to students that administration does not just do things for no reason.

“It seems confusing if you don’t know the background,” Chiu said. “By me meeting with the administrative body, if a student voices their opinion to me I can tell them why things are done a certain way. It’s a relay system of information.”

Chiu and Tucker are constantly out seeking the wants and needs of the student body, outside of the nine members of the ASLC cabinet.

“It’s hard to make decisions with just nine people,” Tucker said. “Having the outside voice of students coming in can get rid of any ASLC bias.”

Chiu is adamant about making sure students aren’t afraid to step outside of the box and do things they haven’t done before.

“You need to go out and have those experiences that will become more applicable to how you want to lead your life,” Chiu said. “If Linfield has taught me anything, it’s that you always want to be branching out and planting new seeds of interest.”

Chiu and Tucker’s main goal is to go out and figure out what the student body wants, rather than just guessing. Through talking with students in this way, they encourage campus-wide support for one another.

“If you show your support, they’ll show you support,” Tucker said.

“That’s what Wildcats do.”

Wildcat Open Mic: Kyle Huizinga

Josie Tilbury/For the Review Jinahie lays down her spoken word poetry in the Fred Meyer Lounge. She focused on interacting with the crowd and creating a warm environment where people would feel confident when sharing stories of their own.

Poet’s warm presence creates a story-telling environment Cassandra Martinez @TLRCulture There are so many different shows Linfield has showcased, yet Jinahie’s live spoken word poetry performance was extraordinary.

Jinahie’s performance was captivating and powerful. Jinahie has the ability to bring the audience in as well as a warm presence, which made the audience respond to her well.

Her first piece she recited was titled “Atlantic,” which is a personal message to her father.

As she recited the piece, there were emotions of wanting and pain, due to this piece being about her father leaving her family.

The words she recited told how much she admired him, but then her voice changed to resentment and curiosity as to why he left.

The audience was captivated as well by her words, snapping along to the verses that spoke to them.

She also recited two other poems; one that is dedicated

to her grandmother and the other was about insecurities.

For the insecurities, she had four people from the audience come up and say what their insecurities were.

Jinahie made the audience comfortable and even interacted with them after the end of the show, such as having the audience do some Q&A and ask about her poetry and herself.

She gave hugs to the audience members and talked to each one of them individually, which showed the audience that she was a people’s person.

When she talked to the audience, she treated them as she was talking to her friends. Jinahie was so funny and amazing to talk to, she told the audience what drives her to do spoken word.

“I think writing down the words and our thoughts and how you feel about things is one thing and I think that’s beautiful,” Jinahie said.

She also mentioned that it’s all about bravery, “I think when we have the brav-

ery and when we are brave enough to be vulnerable, we say our story and we speak it.”

Jinahie loved the audience as they gave her questions; she doesn’t leave the audience wondering and kept their expectations. She also mentioned how spoken word is connected to her and her artistic side.

Jinahie said that the poem finds her and how she thinks of art, “I don’t think of art as something that I do or artist do. I think the art does that; that might sound funny but art has given me a voice, art has given me an identity and not the other way around.”

She expressed the statement with certainty. The audience could tell that she meant what she said about her poetry finding her, she concluded with this statement “And so I think in that sense, my poetry found me and will continue to find me and will continue to create me.”

Courtesy of Maya Luque Senior Maya Luque poses her sculptures for a picture. She focuses on abstract and instillation art and never knew how involved she would become with art.

John Christensen/For The Review Freshman Kyle Huizinga kicks off the music at the first 2014 Open Mic Night in Fred Meyer Lounge on Sept. 18.

Abstract art captivates student’s imagination Rosa Johnson @TLRCulture Many people limit their idea of what art is to painting and drawing realistically, but senior Maya Luque breaks the boundaries and creates masterpieces of her own.

Unlike most art students Luque never took any art classes before college and she never expected to find art like how it found her.

Before her freshman year Luque won first place in the Competitive Art Scholarship, and this was her first exposure to the art department.

“Part of the Competitive Art Scholarship was to draw a still life on the spot, most of the people next to me were drawing realistically and I went abstract with it. I for sure thought I didn’t place at all because everyone else was so talented,” Luque said.

Luque is majoring in thesis track studio art and minoring in philosophy and visual culture.

Her primary focus is on instillation pieces and she hopes to be able to install pieces in galleries.

After graduating this spring, she is hoping to be able to attend grad school at Claremont University in California in order to get her masters of fine arts.

Luque found out about Claremont because her adviser and professor of art Ron Mills attended there for his graduate degree.

Luque hopes to either work in advertisement or become an art professor as well one day. She has been a Teacher’s Assistant for adjunct professor Totem Shriver and adjunct professor of drawing Lisa Johnson so she has already had some experience helping out in the classroom.

Luque advised to those who are afraid to major or minor in the arts that there are alternatives to being involved.

“A lot of people believe that they’ll never get a job if they major in art, but it isn’t always guaranteed that you’ll get a job if

you major in math or biology either. By being an art major you show that you have a different approach to thinking and that you are capable of coming up with new and unique ideas,” Luque said.

Luque encourages those with and without art experience to de-stress and express themselves through art and that it is a great studying break.

“I know a lot of people only come on this side of campus for the library but even if you just spend 10 minutes in between studying painting you’ll feel better,” Luque said.

Luque also points out that students don’t have to be enrolled in an art course to have access to the art building.

As long as students ask a professor beforehand, they can give students’ student ID number to Campus Security so they can have 24/7 to the art department.

Mic Cooney/For the Review The Devil, played by Junior Travis McKenna, attempts to trick his way into heaven as pizza delivery boy in “The Gate.” John, played by sophomore Murphy Jackson, walks up to accept the pizza. “The Gate” is a story about heaven and hell and the choices that lead people to either.

‘Slight Distractions’ initiates new Theatre year Gilberto Galvez @TLRCulture

“The Blonde and Other Slight Distractions” is an anthology of five short plays. Separately they all seem incongruent, drawn together only because the same person wrote all five of them, but they do go well together, and the Marshall Theatre took on the endeavor of making them work seamlessly for their fall icebreakers.

“I think that it’s because they’re so random that they go together,” junior Travis McKenna said.

Sophomore Madilyn Bechtel, the stage manager, added, “Originally, they were separate plays, and they were all award-winning plays. In this version, yes they were meant to be played together.”

The purpose of these fall icebreakers is to integrate the new theater students and to allow student directors to shine with their own short plays.

“Yes, we try to either have students direct an icebreaker right away to get folks involved, or last year we brought in a group and put something up in a week.

We don’t want to wait until November to have a production. I think the directors did a good job in a short amount of time and I feel that the newcomers to the program got a great chance to get involved onstage and off right away,” Janet Gupton, associate professor of theatre arts and resident director, said in an email.

The other play Bradley directed was “One Last Time,” starring freshman Marcos Galvez as Allen and sophomore Parker Wells as James. It’s the story of Allen wanting to give a squirrel, who he saw as his only friend, a funeral and James’ attempt to understand how he can help.

Granato directed the last of the five plays, “The Gate.”

Jackson acted as John; French language teaching assistant Camille Brunot acted as Mel and McKenna acted as the Devil.

In the play, John attempts to enter the gates of heaven, but there is “an asterisk” by his name, something keeping him out. As he argues with Mel, who is painting the gate, the Devil keeps trying to sneak in through the gate. It’s a humorous act, added to by the actors’ skill.

“The play itself is kind of random bits of people’s lives.

It’s not an accident that the last scene of the play ends up with someone deciding between heaven and hell.

For a lot of people, that’s it.

That’s the end game. That’s the kind of questions that the playwright wants us to leave with, to understand the important of the play as a whole and not as singular scenes,” McKenna said.

It was a fitting end, just as hilarious and as full of story and meaning as any of the plays that came before it. Separately, each play had its own complete story, but together, they created something a lot bigger.

Tall Heights and Ballroom Thieves perform for students Luis Santillán-Guzmán @TLRCulture The indie-folk band Tall Heights returned to the Linfield stage to entertain the student body, with old, new and unreleased songs on Thursday Sept. 11. Tall Heights shared the stage with the Ballroom Thieves, a Bostonian folk-rock band who graced Linfield with their fresh, unique blend of musical style.

Tall Heights’ music was reminiscent of bands like Mumford and Sons with a unique tang of artists like Vance Joy. Any fan of folk music would not only enjoy them, but also appreciate the simplicity of the two-man band. The musical style was impressive from slow, old-world songs to some of the fast paced, modern folk in Mumford and Sons.

At the end of the concert, Linfield students clamored for an encore and the band came back onstage to play a few more songs.

Most of the performance came from Man of Stone,

their most recent album, and their debut album, Rafters. However, those who were familiar with Tall Heights were given a few surprises. Tall Heights debuted several new previews of upcoming songs, including one titled “Only.”

The release date of these coming songs was not announced, but these songs won’t disappoint.

Ballroom Thieves, the opening band, also debuted some unreleased songs and played many from their album “The Devil & The Deep.”

While both bands had that quintessential folk vibe, Ballroom Thieves had more of the strong rock influence we see in many other bands. As a result, you can expect some of their music to be sometimes more fast-paced than Tall Heights. However, towards the end of their performance the set encountered technical difficulties. Without worry or hesitance, the Ballroom Thieves stepped off the stage and began playing inside the crowd,

unplugged. They proved that their slow, lyrical ballads were just as good as the rest of their musical repertoire. The band also often interjected with their sense of humor.

“Are you a religious school?” asked Devin Mauch, singer and percussionist for the band. “So we’re allowed to say bad words, right?”

After a brief audience response, the band introduced their following song.

“Our next song is called ‘Wild Woman.’ It’s about a woman...who is wild... in the Mowgli sense...no offense to small Indian boys,” Mauch said.

Afterwards, both bands set up candle-lit tables, giving students the opportunity to buy their albums, buy T-shirts and other merchandise, or just strike up a quick chat.

This event was hosted by the Linfield Activities Board.

Ballroom Thieves’ bass player passionately plays one of their songs. The genre of songs ranged from Civil Wars to Mumford and Sons.

Thomas (Dylan O'Brien), who is deposited into a community of young men in a post-apocalyptic world.

After learning that they are trapped in a maze, he joins fellow "runners" to try to escape.

The film, which was directed by Wes Ball and cost about $34 million to make, had a large young-adult turnout: About 65 percent of the audience was younger than 25.

"The Maze Runner" follows the release of "Divergent," which met expectations in its opening weekend, grossing $56 million. The first "Hunger Games" film opened at more than $152 million in March 2012, and its sequel "Catching Fire" opened in November 2013 to $158 million.

Illustrating the audience overlap, the official "Hunger Games" Twitter account has exchanged tweets with the "Maze Runner" account. The "Hunger Games" account tweeted Thursday: "Head to theaters this weekend to see the #Mockingjay Part 1 official trailer, playing before @ MazeRunnerMovie!"

The film had a male lead in O'Brien, known for his role as the best friend to Tyler Posey's character in the "Teen Wolf" series on MTV. O'Brien, one of Hollywood's young heartthrobs, has more than 2 million followers on Twitter.

"He was perfect for the role," Aronson said, noting his ability to draw in both male and female audiences.

The gender breakdown for the film was fairly balanced, with female moviegoers making up 51 percent of the audience.

"His appeal resides on the female side but he's also a very strong leading guy," Aronson said.

The movie received a grade of A-minus from audience polling form Cinemascore and earned generally positive reviews from critics.

As of Sunday, it had notched a positive 63 percent "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Meanwhile, Universal Pictures' "A Walk Among the Tombstones" fell short of the studio's mid-to-high teens forecast.

"I don't know what to say about why it didn't (meet expectations)," said Universal's head of distribution, Nikki Rocco. "But I have to say the truth of the matter is the picture was made for a very acceptable price, so it's not all that devastating to the producers."

The Neeson action film cost about $28 million to make. Rocco said the film was popular among adult audiences and Neeson fans.

About 77 percent of the audience was 25 and older.

"The main reason they went to see it was they wanted to see Liam," Rocco said.

"Just not enough of the Neeson fans came."

Warner Bros.' "This Is Where I Leave You" also fell short of analyst and studio expectations. The character-based comedy-drama, which cost about $20 million to make, has a star-studded cast that includes Jane Fonda, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne and Corey Stoll.

Based on the best-selling novel by Jonathan Tropper and directed by Shawn Levy, the film follows four siblings who reunite after their father dies. The film returns to a genre that's not done often these days the kind of family dramedy popularized in films such as "Terms of Endearment."

As of Sunday, "This Is Where I Leave You" had a 43 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences gave the film a B-plus on CinemaScore.

In their second weekends, Sony's "No Good Deed" and Warner Bros.' "Dolphin Tale 2" finished at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.

Director Sam Miller's "No Good Deed" added $10.2 million, raising its total gross in the U.S. and Canada to $40.1 million.

The family film "Dolphin Tale 2" took in about $9 million over the weekend, bringing its total gross in the U.S. and Canada to $27.1 million.

John Christensen/For the Review

‘Maze Runner’ easily takes No. 1 at box-office, grossing $32.5 million Saba Hamedy Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES Adaptations of young-adult books proved their might again at the box office this past weekend as "The Maze Runner" sped past the Liam Neeson thriller "A Walk Among the Tombstones" and the Jason Bateman-Tina Fey comedy-drama "This Is Where I Leave You." Despite somewhat slow sales for its Thursday night and Friday matinee shows, "The Maze Runner" finished strongly to gross an estimated $32.5 million in the U.S. and Canada, solidly meeting expectations. "A Walk Among the Tombstones" was second with $13.1 million. "This Is Where I Leave You," which took in $11.9 million, was third.

"Sometimes you just have to be patient," Chris Aronson, 20th Century Fox's head of domestic distribution, said of numbers that built through the weekend for "The Maze Runner."

The studio had cautiously predicted an opening of $20 million to $30 million in the U.S. and Canada. But "The Maze Runner" did so well that Aronson said Sunday that the studio was picking up the film's sequel, "The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials."

Based on the best-selling thriller by James Dashner, "The Maze Runner" follows

Men’s Soccer: Tough loss against UC-Santa Cruz

Spencer Beck/For the Review Junior Brandon Brooks kicks the ball forward in the game against UC- Santa Cruz.

There was immediate heat when the men’s soccer team took the field against the UC-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs on Sept. 16. The Banana Slugs took the field in defiance of their lethargic name and scored an unassisted goal within the first nine minutes.

The ‘Cats came back ferociously merely three minutes later. A Wildcat drive took Brian DeGrandmont, 5, to the far right. He then offered a dramatic diving cross to Moi

by Jack O’Keefe, 32. This sent the two teams into the half locked in a tie with one goal apiece. The second half began much slower, with the first shot on either goal coming in the fifty-eighth minute. The Wildcats had a quality drive, cutting through the Santa Cruz defense, until it unfortunately concluded when a Santa Cruz player fell and snared

Nicholas Autencio, 8, who had to leave the game with an injured ankle.

Momentum continued to shift in the Banana Slug’s favor when they scored a second unassisted goal with seventeen minutes remaining in the game.

As time expired the scoreboard reflected a 2-1 loss for the Wildcats. Despite facing the unfamiliar formation of the Banana Slugs, Linfield managed five shots on goal and six saves.

competitor the past few years when it comes to our conference. Do you think that this game could potentially give way to who will win the conference this year?

I think it is still extremely early on in the season to say that this game is the deciding factor of conference champs.

It is definitely one step closer for the winning team but there are still a lot of games to be played and goals to be scored.

As a team how will you all go into this upcoming conference match up? Are there any certain rituals or traditions that the team uses to get pumped for games?

We want to be really well prepared for every game so just taking care of our bodies and doing the rights things (stretching, drinking water, getting enough sleep). We don’t have any set rituals or traditions but I do think one thing very different about our team this year than in past

years is our ability to balance having a lot of fun but getting the job done as well. I think just keeping the mindset of wanting to do really well but also remembering why we play soccer is really important in our preparation for each game.

As a senior what would you like to see this season and how do you think you can achieve that?

I would obviously love for us to win conference as we have been so close every year

I have been here. I think this team is 100 percent capable of it if we stay focused and remember to play our game.

We have a really talented, special and hard-working team this year and I think we all really deserve the win. I cannot think of a better team to be a part of my senior year so all in all I really just want to enjoy the time I have left with these girls.

Senior shows high hopes for the new season Alec Wisthoff @LinfieldReviewSports This interview is with senior Lindzee Baker.

With a very decisive win over Pacific, how does the game compare to the upcoming one with Puget Sound?

We try to treat every game the same and not focus on who the competitor is but really just play our game and keep it mind what we are in control of. However, UPS definitely as an air of hype

about the game considering the last 3 years but the weight of each game is just as serious as the next.

Are there some tactics that will have to be implemented against Puget Sound that weren’t used against Pacific?

I don’t know about tactics but I would definitely love to have a shut out whereas Pacific was able to score a goal on us.

I know that Puget Sound has been a extremely close

Men’s golf gets new blood for the fall season Ross Passeck For the Review

As this year’s seniors entered their final year of golfing for Linfield they were met with a sizeable freshman class. Fortunately the size of this incoming class paled in comparison to the talent they brought to the program.

“This class had the potential to be compared to some of my best freshmen classes since I took over the team in 2001,” Coach Greg Copeland, said. Though what was particularly dis-

tinguishable about this season was the quality of veteran talent that accompanied these freshmen. The seniors in particular had left a mark on Linfield’s golf program.

“This year’s senior class was also one of my best freshmen classes so the potential for a great year was a real possibility,” Copeland said.

One of the seniors that helped embrace and develop these freshmen had multiple tournament wins under his belt. He also took

pride in a spot on the Academic All-American team last year. Taylor Klopp had valuable insight into what it meant to be a freshman on this team.

“From high school to college was a huge transition, just lifestyle wise, so I struggled my freshman year in the fall and I didn’t contribute until the spring. It was overwhelming as a freshman but over the winter I really had time to digest what college golf was all about,” Klopp said.

Klopp’s experience as a

freshman certainly aided him in being a leader as a senior. Even Klopp was following in another great golfer’s shoes.

“Having a role model definitely helps, and as a senior that was what I was trying to do,” Klopp said.

The overarching consensus from seniors, freshman, and the coach was that this team had excellent chemistry.

“All the freshmen on the team, we all gelled together really well. I think that we fit in with the older kids

pretty well also,” freshman Logan Davis said. Team chemistry was vital as competition for spots, especially with so many talented players, was fierce.

“I think the team chemistry will be strengthened by the competition, not hurt by it,” Copeland said.

With the team’s chemistry and caliber of talent there was good reason for expectations to be set high for this season. Every member of the team was a contributor in one way or another

“There were probably 12 people on the roster that could have been in the top five [to travel] any given day,” Davis said. Expectations matched the abilities of this team. “I’m increasing my expectations every day,” Copeland said. A conference title was certainly in the cross hairs of every member of the program.

“As a team there was no reason that we couldn’t win the conference championship,” Davis said.

back, All-SEC receiver Amari Cooper and 241-pound tailback Derrick Henry, Alabama piled up 645 total yards the most-ever by a Gators opponent.

The most yardage gained previously by a UF opponent was 629 by Nebraska during a 62-24 Gators’ loss in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. But that game was for a national title against a dynasty that won three national titles during a four-year span.

Saturday’s game, however, was in the fourth week of a season that will determine Muschamp’s coaching future at UF against an Alabama team with question marks.

The Crimson Tide, winners of three of the past five national titles, remain the gold standard in college football. They also showed

surprising vulnerability during their opener against West Virginia’s up-tempo offense and entered Saturday with an inexperienced quarterback and banged-up secondary.

Add to that four turnovers by coach Nick Saban’s squad that led to 21 UF points and the Tide were ripe for an upset before a capacity crowd of 101,821 at BryantDenny Stadium.

Instead, with the game tied 21-21 the Tide’s offense took control of the game against Muschamp’s vaunted defense _ one of three units to finish in the top-10 nationally the past three seasons. Meanwhile, Driskel and Roper’s up-tempo offense were as ineffective and inept as the punchless units of Muschamp’s first three seasons.

Driskel finished 9-of-28 passing for 93 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

The Gators managed just 200 yards and ran 55 plays after piling up 101 points, an average of nearly 600 yards and 90 plays a game during wins against cupcake Eastern Michigan and SEC patsy Kentucky, last weekend in triple overtime.

Alabama, on the other hand, piled up video-game like numbers. Sims led the way with 445 passing yards and four touchdowns, three of them to Cooper, who ended the day with 10 catches for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

Henry finished with 111 rushing yards that included a 3-yard touchdown that capped a 16-play, 71-yard that consumed 7:15. Henry’s biggest play on the drive,

though, was a 29-yard reception on a screen pass when the Tide faced third-and-23 from the UF 32.

The play Alabama’s fifth third-down conversion of the drive. The Tide finished 12 of 16 on third down while UF was 2 of 12 on third down.

“We couldn’t stay on the field,” Muschamp said. “We couldn’t get off the field defensively.”

The problems began early for the Gators’ defense.

On the Tide’s first play from scrimmage, Sims connected with running back Kenyan Drake for an 87-yard touchdown pass. Drake found himself matched up with middle linebacker Antonio Morrison, who was caught flat-footed, while senior safety Jabari Gorman was late on the play as Drake

coasted to an easy touchdown.

The Gators would rebound behind opportunistic plays on defense.

UF nickel back Marcus Maye forced a fumble by Drake that led to a 28-yard touchdown from Driskel to Valdez Showers on thirdand-7. On Alabama’s next possession, Gators’ safety Keanu Neal returned a fumble by receiver DeAndrew White 49 yards for a touchdown, giving UF a 14-7 lead.

But Neal went from hero to goat on the next possession. On first-and-10 from the Alabama 21, Sims found Cooper for a 79-yard touchdown, courtesy of broken coverage by Neal.

“It was a game of big plays,” Driskel said. “Alabama had a lot more than us.”

Alabama piles up 645 yards in 42-21 win over Florida Edgar Thompson Orlando Sentinel TUSCALOOSA, Ala. UF’s offense, long the bane of coach Will Muschamp’s Gators, did nothing to remove its scapegoat label during Saturday’s beat down at Alabama.

But move over Jeff Driskel, Kurt Roper and Matt Jones, you have some company.

The Gators’ defense, long Muschamp’s baby and his team’s identity, was outmanned, outcoached and out of gas by the merciful conclusion of the No. 3 Crimson Tide’s 42-21 win.

“As the game went on,” a battered Muschamp said, “we just wore down.”

5 Sports News

of the past two weeks 1.Domestic Violence in the NFL

Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy, and Jonathan Dwyer are just some players who are being looked into for domestic violence charges by the NFL. With the NFL cracking down on domestic violence, as viewers, when will we be able to know what is the truth and what is just smoke? Ray Rice and the elevator footage of him beating his soon to be fiancé is clearly true, but what about Adrian Peterson and the allegations of him “abusing” his son when it seems to clearly just be discipline?

2. Goodbye Goodell?

With the amounting cases of domestic violence piling up and Goodell’s knowledge of Ray Rice’s domestic abuse way before the video was leaked might mean we have seen the last of the “oh so great” Goodell. Late last week Goodell finally came out of “hiding” and gave a not so clear conference on what he’ll try to do and to apologize for how he has handle these cases.

3. A Winner like No Other With surprise upset winner Kei Nishiokori winning his quarterfinal and semifinal matches in five sets makes him the first person to ever do that. He is also the first male Asian player to make to the finals of the U.S. Open. However it was Marin Cilic, the 15 seed, who surprised everyone and took first place. This was the tournament of a lifetime for Cilic and he is embracing it with all the joy he can give. Cilic won in straight sets against Nishiokori 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. We may not see results like this from a major tournament for quite a while.

4. USA dominates FIBA LAs usual the Unites States Men’s Basketball Team showed exactly why the USA is the best country for basketball during the FIBA World Cup. The United States walked through the tournament winning by over 20 points per game. The United States played Serbia in the finals on the 14 and won 129-92.

5. Sorry, Seahawks The Seahawks, however, just couldn’t find their Super bowl style defense. The Chargers won in a close victory 30-21.

Russell Wilson threw for 202 yards with two touchdowns, but it was Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates who could not be stopped. Rivers threw for 284 yards with three touchdowns while Gates had seven receptions, 96 yards, and all three of Rivers touchdown passes. The Chargers showed just why they are looking to be a playoff contender once again.

Spencer Beck/For the Review Sophomore Nicholas Autencio moves the ball away from the UC- Santa Cruz players. The Wildcats lost the game 2-1. See page 13 for more photos.

O’Neil sets the pace in early cross country meets Jonathan WIlliams @LinfieldReviewNews

A Linfield cross country runner was named Northwest Conference Athlete of the Week after his fourth place finish at the Linfield Harrier Classic where he was the first finisher out of the Northwest Conference.

Sophomore Michael O’Neil who finished the Linfield Harrier Classic in 27 minutes and 6.06 seconds on August 30 at Joe Dancer Park in McMinnville was the NWC Athlete of the Week for Aug. 25-31.

O’Neil’s time was 40 seconds faster than what he ran last year at

the same meet. His goals for this season are to make top five at the Northwest Conference Championships meet as well as to make top 20 at the regionals meet.

O’Neil is a philosophy major with a potential history or political science minor.

“This season is different because I am at the front of the pack and am more of a leader on the team this year,” O’Neil said.

O’Neil commented that, “The guys team is looking really good, we are hoping to finish in the top 3 at the conference meet.” He also mentioned that the Northwest Conference is highly competitive

so it always an interesting championships meet.

There are a lot of new runners this year creating a bright future for the team to develop and mature in the years to come.

So far, the team has been mainly injury-free as opposed to last season when the team was plagued with many injuries.

The team has four more meets to get in the best racing shape they can before the Northwest Conference Championships meet.

O’Neil attributes his success to his coaches at Linfield. Head coach Travis Olson and assistant coach Greg Mitchell have helped him

mature as a runner.

“Coach Olson has a very laissez faire approach, he is always telling us to just race,” O’Neil said.

Olson emphasizes to his team the importance of listening and taking care of your body.

O’Neil also commented, “Coach Olson is known for always saying to compete.”

O’Neil also named teammate junior Alex Mangan as someone that helps push him to be better.

Cross Country athletes like other athletes are often cross training to improve their overall fitness.

“We run year round, lift weights and do water running to stay fit all

O’Neil also said, “Ice baths are great way to get your body ready before a meet.”

“We train through all of our regular meets and start to taper around two weeks before the Conference meet,” O’Neil said.

O’Neil hopes to “leave a mark on the Linfield running scene” by the time he graduates from Linfield.

The Cross Country team’s next meet is the Willamette Charles Bowles Invitational on Oct. 4 at Willamette University.
