The McMinnville based commercial photographer, Bill Miller has created the “Ink” project as a side project to his commercial work.

Miller has previously created and shown photo-essays covering political, cultural, historical and architectural subjects.

Last fall Miller decided to create the “Ink” project about tattoos, he started shooting in September of 2013 and has done seven photoshoots to in the past eight months.

“The bias generally held of tattoos often manifests itself in negative socio-economic stereotyping.

I hope that people who see the photo-essay will walk away with a better understanding of the humanity involved. The people I photographed are teachers, professionals, salespeople, factory workers, and excons. Regardless of where they come from, who they are, or what they do — they are the same people that you see, and work with, every day in our community,” Miller said in an email.

The goal of exposing viewers to both the art and reasons why people would choose to get inked, to reduce negative bias and stereotyping of those who wear tattoos, according to Miller.

Miller contacted Linfield’s Chair of Psychology Tanya Tompkins partner in this project along with the participation of the mass communication department. Along with Linfield’s contributors, Miller contacted a videography company Meadowlake Studios who decided to make a documentary of the “Ink” project. >> Please see Ink page 6

Olivia Marovich News editor The Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Center hosted a lecture for Sexual Assault Awareness Month about how important it is for men to help prevent sexual assault.

Guest speakers Jon Davies, Ph.D., the director of the McKenzie River Men’s Center and Max Wolfard, cofounder of the “Be That Guy” campaign at the university of Oregon spoke to a standing-room-only crowd in TJ Day Hall about how society needs to stop treating sexual assault as an exclusively female problem.

“We shouldn’t be thinking about what society needs from men now,

but instead men should be asking themselves ‘what kind of man do I want to be?’ and ‘what keeps me from being that man today?’” Davies said.

Both Davies and Wolfard run organizations where men gather to talk about the societal pressures placed on them to be masculine and dominant, and how these stereotypically manly traits can lead to other issues, like the propensity toward sexual assault.

“I think the main message of the event was that men can be engaged in the issue without fear of being bashed or blamed,” said Coordinator of Student Health and Wellness Programming Adria Godon-Bynum.

“The majority of men are not per-

petrators of sexual violence and we should be doing everything in our power to engage these men in violence prevention. I think the message was that good men need to stand up and participate in violence prevention and that when they do we will welcome them to the table.”

A slideshow accompanying the lecture showed statistics that about 70 percent of college men demonstrate appropriate behavior, while 20 percent can be manipulative of a partner and 10 percent may at some point sexually assault or rape someone.

“Men as a group are seen as powerful,” Davies said. “But individually men do not feel powerful, and our culture links the ideas of power and

importance to sexuality. Men are, therefore, more likely to be sexual aggressors and are less likely to seek help for fear of being shamed.”

Davies compared the body image and beauty standard placed on women to the sexual standards placed on men, both of which are impossible and unhealthy to attain.

Wolfard spoke about the program he created the University of Oregon to help engage men in the Greek Life system in becoming allies for sexual assault victims and teaching them to be active bystanders when they see something bad happening.

New PLACE theme questions everything The recently revealed PLACE theme “How Do We Know? Paths to Wisdom,” for the 2014-2015 academic year gives incoming freshman and transfer students an interesting impression on what Linfield is all about.

Students of the current academic year have learned from this year’s PLACE theme to see war from a different lens, allowing for a better understanding of the world around them and perceptions of different cultures.

Although having a broad theme is great for finding speakers from varying backgrounds and having panel discussions on vastly different topics, it could be a daunting theme

for students to grasp.

The point of theme is likely designed for students to question everything about how people know what they know, and why they should believe what those in government say.

Topics in the humanities and the sciences will be brought to light through the theme making the college’s mission for students to understand the academic strength a liberal arts education holds.

The current PLACE theme has allowed students to see the different sides of war be that from a military, civilian, or governmental standpoint that they might have otherwise not thought of.

The book that incom-

ing students will have to read will be also play a key role on what freshman and transfer students begin to think about as they enter the academic year.

This year’s PLACE theme book: “Thieves of Baghdad” by Matthew Bogdanos had mixed results of interest towards the book’s topic.

The book is somewhat lengthy but provides readers with interesting information many had no idea that pertains to the Iraq war.

Linfield College was fortunate enough to have Bogdanos speak at the Convocation in August that marked the start of the academic year.

Those that read his book

found out what a multiversed person Bogdanos is.

He holds degrees in classical studies, strategic studies and law that have all contributed to his success as a leading colonel.

He embodies what a liberal education represents since he is knowledgeable in the humanities and applies what he knows into practice in his own life.

The theme should be successful as it has much to discuss for it to remain interesting for a year.

Next year’s required PLACE reading is “Ignorance: How it Drives Science” by Stuart Firestein, which is sure to get students interested in college.

Students should make editing a priority Writing papers is part of being a college student.

Not everyone likes to spend hours of their time making a rough draft, revising their paper, and possibly visiting the writing center to seek out someone who enjoys editing.

Professors cannot stress the importance of taking the time to read through and edit your paper.

When students have to write a four through seven page papers it is realistic for professors to expect to see a clean edited copy when they read it.

A 10 page paper should certainly be seen by a friend, the writing center, or someone knowledgeable in editing.

Editing a friends paper

Jonathan Williams Opinion editor is not only helpful to them, but it is also valuable for the person editing because they get to see how others write and become more skilled at catching common mistakes.

Reading a paper out loud is also helpful way to catch mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and sentence fluency.

Not everyone enjoys reading and writing as

most of those who studies the humanities do but it is important for all college students to understand that the way they write speaks to their own intelligence.

When students graduate from college potential employers in all fields are looking for people who have good writing and communication skills.

Without having mastered those two skills it could be difficult for recent graduates to find employers wiling to take them seriously in the professional world.

Writing is needed in all careers, so it is crucial for students to put effort into their papers even if they are not interested in the class or topic.

It is always worth taking

the time to edit and proofread your paper.

When students graduate from college it is great to have a large portfolio that demonstrates your writing abilities.

Graduate schools are looking for students who are strong writers that can assert themselves well over paper.

If a student wanted to apply for a grant to help them pay for school those that read their application are also going to be looking for someone with solid writing abilities who can clearly communicate their purpose.

Taking classes in college that promote critical thinking and writing will be extremely valuable as

students mature as thinkers and writers.

Even if your major isn’t heavily writing based it is always a good idea to take a wide variety of classes that will benefit your writing skills.

Science majors need to have good writing abilities as not all of their audience understands the sciences and need information written in an understandable form.

Students that major in the humanities or sciences should have sound writing skills that will hopefully prove to potential employers that they are analytical and have superb critical thinking ability.

Students shouldn’t dedicate themselves to one club When you first come to campus you constantly hear from everyone that you should join a couple clubs and get involved with the “Linfield Community.”

However once you join one club, you can’t hope to be a leader in any others.

As freshmen coming into the new world of college, most of us were trying to find a place where we belonged far away from home.

Little did we know the club, sport, or organization that we picked would be our only one.

In a small school environment it is easy to get to no everyone.

Stephanie Hofmann Sports editor Some students enjoy participating in multiple activities whereas others only want to dedicate themselves to one particular group.

Sure, you can join other clubs on the most basic level as a normal member, but once you try to get a lead-

ership position they immediately ask the question, “How are you going to be able to balance this position with the other things you are doing?”

When someone is applying for a position, it is more than likely they believe they have enough time to balance all of the things they are in.

Yet that question always gets asked and the position almost always goes to the person that is only going to be doing that one thing.

In my personal experience, it seems that the people that want to have a leadership position already have experience in other clubs

they are currently in.

The people who want to be leaders already are ones.

So it’s silly to rule them out automatically because you think they wont have enough time.

People who are use to being in leadership roles are equipped to balance their time between the many things they do, which often includes organizing different events all at once and making sure they are on top of all their assignments.

These are all traits that are being wished for on the application sheets, but rarely are they thinking about those traits when they see

what other clubs your in.

It’s gotten so bad that people have started to lie about the different clubs that they are involved in just to have a better chance at getting the leadership position that they want.

Student shouldn’t have to feel like they have to drop everything they are doing to get a position.

If a students wants to become active in a leadership role those that review applications should be openminded about their abilities.

They should be encouraged to use those experiences to help them with this new leadership role, instead of

pretending that they aren’t a part of something else.

People should embrace the different opportunities on campus because each one brings something different to Linfield and everyone should have the chance to be involved in them.

If a student wants to be a leader at Linfield then we should encourage them to take that opportunity and not ask them “If they have time for that?” because if they are showing interest in an activity they obviously think they have enough time to commit to the activity.

Sustainability

Earth Week proves to be a success for students at Linfield Nicole Lewis Office of Sustainability Hello my fellow Wildcats.

Earth Week has come to a close and what a fun-filled week it was.

We kicked off with great 10-mile bike ride around the nearby vineyards and farms off of Old Sheridan road.

It was a great study break on Sunday afternoon April 20, and luckily the sun made an appearance and was with us the whole way.

On Monday, April 21 we had the rad game show in Dillin Hall.

The game show is one of my favorite events because it’s a good way to learn interesting facts on how we impact the earth, how you can get involved with sustainability events on campus, and brainstorming ways to create a more sustainable campus.

Thanks to the participation from sophomore Ellen Massey, senior Dillon Casados, junior Trey Chui, senior Kaleigh Ansdell, senior Shelby Hollenbeck, and junior Joe Stevick.

The game show flew by with passion, energy, and laughs.

What happened next, you ask? Tuesday, April 22, was Earth Day and what better a way to spend Earth Day than at a dinner prepared with ingredients from a farm just 14 miles away.

After a fabulous meal, a discussion between the farmer, the chef, and food advocates ensued with a question and answer session with the students that came.

On Wednesday, April 23, there was the Stuff Swap Fashion Show.

Clothing was modeled as a way to advertise the stuff

swaps that are put on by Greenfield club every other month.

On Thursday, April 24, the owner of Tommy’s, the bike shop on Third street, came by to share some his knowledge on the world of bikes.

Do you know how to change a tire on a bike?

Neither did I, but I do know now which may come in handy some day.

Riding a bike is something that most college students do so having basic knowledge of it can be quite helpful for those that ride bikes.

The culminating events of the week brought Earth Week to a close on Friday with the Earth Games, barbecue and live music.

There were eight amazing teams who strongly competed in the earth games course set up on the IM field.

Luckily they all worked up an appetite and happily joined the barbecue in front of Walker soon after completing the course.

Delicious veggie patties were served which were sourced locally from Portland.

The men of Delta Psi Delta were fantastic in helping cook and serve the patties to everyone who was there.

Dancing and singing was a great way to let loose and celebrate the end of the week with the live music in the Fred Meyer Lounge.

What did you all think of the earth day events?

What would you like to see next year?

We value all of your thoughts and concerns so we can improve all sustainability events we put on.

Email your thoughts and ideas to sustainability@linfield.edu.

Declaring a major is a big deal for students

Any student who has declared their major knows that even with the strong verb in the phrase, there isn’t much of a declaration involved.

In fact, the whole thing is fairly quiet.

You pick up a paper from Academic Advising, you get that paper signed by your present advisor, then the your new one, and then you turn it back in. Simple.

But what if there was more to it?

Declaring a major is a big event in your college life.

Something should exist that points that out.

Ceremonies can either drag on becoming the most boring event anyone has ever attended, or they can be moments of honor for the people the ceremony benefits.

A ceremony for anyone

Gilberto Galvez Features editor declaring a major may sound like too much for the whole college, but if each department had their own ceremony for the newest members every year, declaring a major could be more than just the exchange of papers and signatures.

There is the question of what each department could do for their newlydeclared members, but maybe it would be better if each department had its own idea.

Every department becomes a world unto itself where things happen in a certain way, and people in the department, while not always agreeing, have a similar general view of the world.

It wouldn’t take much for each department to find what is important to them, so they can make that a part of the ceremony for the newly-declared.

It could be compared to fraternity and sorority initiation, but I see it as being simpler with less rules.

Instead of seeing it as a ritual the newly-declared must put themselves through, it can be viewed as the department welcoming the fresh recruits, new blood, into its system.

This process would help the newly-declared feel like a true part of the class.

They have been welcomed into the fold. At the moment, declaring feels like something so lonely, which could be a good thing.

Any choice of major needs to come from within, but declaring isn’t only the choice of a student’s path through college but the choosing of a department.

Certain classes in every major lead to the closeness between the people within those majors, but there is no reason not to start the connections early.

The ceremony doesn’t need to be much of a structured ceremony.

Candles aren’t really necessary.

But for students there should be more than just a slip of paper with your future on it.

Community takes back the night, raises awareness Olivia Marovich News editor

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month Linfield College hosted its second Take Back the Night event to show support for survivors of sexual assault and rape.

The event, sponsored by the Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Center, took place in the courtyard in front of Walker Hall, where students, faculty and community members gathered for a rally and eventual march around campus.

Take Back the Night dates back to Europe in the 1970s and seeks to symbolically take back the night from sexual predators and show them that women can walk the streets at night without the fear of being attacked.

Although nighttime attacks may not seem like a problem at Linfield, the issue of sexual assault is more pervasive than most people realize. Slips of paper were handed out to the crowd with sexual assault statistics, showing the one in six women and one in 33 men will be the victims of sexual assault in their lifetime, and approximately two thirds of assaults are committed by someone who knows the victim.

“I think it’s very important to bring up the issue of sexual assault because even on small college campuses, sexual assault is occurring, and not many survivors are reporting for various reasons,” said freshman Katie Daugherty.

“Events like Take Back the Night show these survivors that there are people who support them, and encourage them to report if they have been sexually assaulted.

It is important for students to know what resources are available to them, and to encourage students to be

active bystanders if they see someone in danger of being sexually assaulted.”

A group of Linfield students stood at the microphone and read poetry, articles and speeches about issues of sexual assault, including the ideas of victim blaming, how to be an ally, and how to deal with abuse after it has been committed.

County District Attorney’s Office Director of Crime Victim Services Yamhill County Debra Bridges also spoke, addressing the need for male allies to come forward and help show victims of sexual assault that they are not alone.

“I’m so pleased to see so many men in the audience,” Bridges said. “In the past it’s been like pulling teeth to get guys involved in these events but I think we’ve turned a corner. So thank you guys for coming, because you are the ones who can really make a huge difference in this entire movement.”

After the rally the large group of men and women walked a loop around Riley Hall and the IM Field shouting chants printed on the event handouts to show solidarity for victims and call for an end to the silence surrounding sexual assault.

The event ended with the crowd releasing blue and green balloons with messages written to survivors on them.

“I hope this event will raise awareness of this issue to the students here at Linfield,” Daugherty said. “This event could possibly even inspire students to join programs like C.A.T.S., and become active bystanders. Hopefully events like this and other Sexual Assault Awareness Month events get students talking about the issue and taking it seriously.”

masculinity so it’s not about physical strength,” Wolfard said. “We want to show that strength is about having the prudence and the wisdom not to raise your voice, but instead raise your persuasion and raise your argument. In this way we can eliminate the stigma against asking for help when it is needed.”

Linfield has the C.A.T.S. program, which provides similar information to incoming students in the fall of freshman year.

“The C.A.T.S. program provides sexual assault prevention education to incoming students, and gives information about sexual misconduct

policy, active bystander intervention techniques, ways to support survivors of sexual misconduct and how to report sexual misconduct,” GodonBynum said. “But I am always looking for ways to innovate it. We have always struggled to engage men in our program and I usually have about two to three times more women in my courses than men.” Godon-Bynum hopes that lectures like this will help stimulate conversation at Linfield about how men can be involved with sexual assault prevention and break down the gender stereotypes in our society that lead to sexual violence.

Ink: A documentary, gallery in the making << Continued from page 1

“The ‘Ink’ video project for us is a documentary of an artist who is interested in an ancient and very modern body art form, an artist who seeks to make the artistic experience a meaningful change agent regarding bias and stereotyping, and an artist who is reaching out, not only to the general community, but also to the academic community to leverage the art project for intellectual and knowledge building,” Mike Santone from Meadowlake Studios said in an email.

“Unlike some photo essays that tell their story exclusively through images, the “Ink” photo-essay matches each image with the explanation by the person wearing the tattoo,” Miller said. “My goals are to have them share the often deep-felt and significant reasons why they chose to have them and/or to share their experiences since getting them.”

“Another thing I’d like people to realize is that tattoos are really about celebrating. Celebrating overcoming obstacles or illness — the life of an individual — about love and family — and all those other significant and life changing events that make up all of our lives,” Miller said in an email.

Students from the psychology department will be using questionnaires at the opening night to measure bias/stereotyping of those with tattoos, according to Miller. While the psychology department does this, those enrolled in the mass communication Social Research Methods class are doing a content analysis of music videos, we can gauge what content is potentially shaping media consumers’ perception of tattoos. This, in addition to how people feel about them by visiting the gallery, gets us closer to discovering how tattoos are per-

ceived in our society and how they affect human behavior, according to student instructor of the “Ink” project senior Katelyn Henson.

“Tattoos are very popular in our society. When we are not pinning them on Pinterest (by ‘we’ I mean young adult females), we see them on TV and many other media, and it is also popular for younger generations to get them. Because there is such an allure to tattoos, the mass communication department was particularly excited to have the opportunity to work with the psychology department to try and understand tattoos better. I think that this is why researching tattoos is really cool - we are trying to understand what they mean to our society,” Henson said in an email.

Students and staff with tattoos will be able to contribute to this project next photo-shoot will be at 1:30 p.m. on May 2 in the Fred Meyer Lounge.

“One thing that has surprised me is the change in my own life. The artist always strives to affect the viewer through their art. I too hope that is the case with ‘Ink.’ However, the reverse is also true, in that it has had a significant effect on my own.

After photographing so many people and their tattoos and listening to their stories I decided that I too wanted – no, needed to get a tattoo; so, at the age of 68 I got my first tattoo,” Miller said in an email.

Research Experience and Pizza will be held at 11:55 a.m.

May 2 in Pioneer 102. Miller will provide background on the Ink Photo Essay Project and members of both the psychology department and mass communications department will be sharing results from recent research relating to the broader project.

Student actress keeps it ‘Grimm’ Gilberto Galvez/Features editor Gilberto Galvez can be reached at linfieldreviewfeatures@gmail.com Hollywood is full of actors and actresses trying make it. For anyone not in Hollywood, it can be even more difficult. Sophomore Aparna Parthasarathy, who uses the stage name Aparna Brielle. She calls Portland her home, where the amount of auditions can be less than ideal. Even then, Parthasarathy has been able to find some acting jobs in the vicinity, most notably on an episode of Grimm, which will air May 2.

The allure of being on stage came to Parthasarathy at a young age.

“I always did performing arts when I was younger. I started out with dance actually. I did Indian classical dance, ballet, jazz and all that stuff,” Parthasarathy said.

“My favorite part of it was the performance aspect. I always—I know it’s a cliché, but I used to put little shows at home. They were mostly based on Harry Potter because I’m embarrassing like that.”

Most of the projects Parthasarathy has been involved in were smaller independent projects: web series or smaller commercials.

“With TV shows, you’re competing with

people from LA, the bigger the part the higher the competition. My very first audition was for Gone with Amanda Seyfried.

Grimm is really hard to get in the room for, so it was really fun to get in there and do the work,” Parthasarathy said.

One of the reasons she ended up on Grimm was because it is a show mostly local to Portland. Parthasarathy found it as one of the most enjoyable projects in her acting career so far.

“It was just the most overwhelming thing because I’ve never been on a set that big, and it was a lot of work. I didn’t mind it. It was one of those times that I was happy to wake up at 6 [a.m.] after going to sleep so late,” Parthasarathy said.

It helped that all of the actors and people on set were very friendly to each other; no matter the part they held. Performing in front of the camera isn’t the only sort of acting Parthasarathy is invested in.

“I like TV, film and stage. If I could have a successful career in either of those formats, I’d be happy,” she said.

At the same time,

Parthasarathy is interested in writing and producing some of her own work, but acting is definitely her main focus.

Scheduling is always a difficulty for a fulltime college student is attempting to also have a full-time, offcampus job, but it is even more difficult when that student plans to graduate a year early without coming in with any transfer credits. Parthasarathy knows it all first hand.

“I have to save up my absences. At the beginning of the term, I try to get a feel for my professors. It can be strenuous, but it is a lot of time management,” Parthasarathy said.

Parthasarathy will graduate with a major in marketing. She plans to use skills gained in marketing classes to promote herself.

“In this business you can’t just wait for opportunities to come to you; you have to get them yourself,” Parthasarathy said.

After she graduates, Parthasarathy plans to move to California in order to be closer to the heart of the industry.

Sophomore Aparna Parthasarathy takes her seat on the set of Grimm. In the episode she plays a troubled teen.

All photos courtesy of Aparna Parthasarathy Parthasarathy pauses to take a picture on the set of Grimm with members of the cast and crew. This was her first time in a full on production.

This is one of Parthasarathy’s head shots that she uses for professional purposes. She was first scouted by an agent at age 15.

Then, just as you’d wrap a box normally, you’ll fold up the bottom (without taping it to the box) and then tape up the folded edges and sides. Next, take a whole puncher and make two wholes on each side of the bag where the handles will go. Now this won’t hold a heavy present but it can get the job done for small gifts.

To create the bow, you’ll need to make about 10 rings out of newspaper. Then you can just start layering them.

Newspaper Nails

Party Decorations

This is as simple as creating shapes and stringing them together. You can also make flowers, hearts and just about anything on a toothpick for food decorations.

For those who like to do their nails, decorating your nails with newspaper can be fun alternative to plain colored nails. First you must put down a base coat of white or clear. Then after it starts to dry you dip them in nail polish remover for a few seconds. After that you’ll apply newspaper to the wet nail– if the paper does not become saturated by the liquid on your nail apply a dab of nail polish remover to the top of the newspaper. Then finish with two or three coats of clear nail polish.

Origami

Instead of going out to buy expensive origami paper, newspaper can be used in its place. While it’s thinner than normal origami paper it can get the job done.

Mod-podge Mirror/ Anything By tearing up newspaper, you can take Mod-podge, or any glue and water solution, and decorate the borders of mirrors, picture frames, or really anything. There is not much to it other than to keep gluing.

But be warned, this is a messy project.

Quick and Easy Tips Moving Supplies

Wrapping your breakables in newspaper, you can prevent things from breaking when moving from the campus housing back home.

Shoe Deodorizer

By stuffing wet/stinky shoes with newspaper, you can dry and absorb any moisture or odors.

Window Cleaner

Instead of buying paper towels to clean your window, newspaper can be used in its place. It is as simple as that.

Garden Supplies

Fire Starters

This is a simple one for all those who like to go camping or have a fire place. Take a sheet of newspaper and fold it into a strip about one inch across and the length of the whole paper. Then take the two ends and fold it to make equal lengths. Then start twisting, and finish by tying it off with twine. Having a few of these on hand can help kickstart a fire.

Newspaper is very versatile in gardens. But the most popular use is to create a weed barrier.

For a weed barrier, first you will need a bucket of water and old newspapers. First make sure you have five or six layers or paper together. Next fold the section of paper in half.

Dip the folded newspaper section into the water, making sure it is completely wet. Once the paper is soaked, remove it from the water, and gently unfold it. Now your ready to create your barrier by simply lying the 5 or 6 page sections on top of your soil. When you lay the next section down, allow it to over lap the first section about one inch. Repeat these steps until your garden or flowerbed is covered with newspaper. Then create holes in the newspaper where you’ll place the plant to grow. After filling in each hole with more soil, cover the newspaper with more soil, so it’s not an eyesore.

This can also be done with paper bags.

In 2003 Jackson won the liturgical category at the inaugural British Composer Awards and won a second award, in the choral category, in 2009.

Since 2010 Gabriel Jackson has been associate composer to the BBC Singers, resulting in a series of substantial commissions, including “In Nomine Domini” for the 2010 BBC Proms and “Airplane Cantata” for choir and pianola.

Other recent commissions include “The Glory of the Lord,” written for the Papal visit to Westminster Abbey in September 2010, a new work to mark the Tallis Scholars’ 40th anniversary, and, for Easter 2013, a full-length Passion for the Choir of Merton College, Oxford.

Student shares artwork at Starbucks Rosa Johnson Copy Editor

The next time you are grabbing your daily dose of caffeine you will be able to see one of Linfield’s own student’s artwork.

Hanging on the walls of the Starbucks across from Albertsons are drawings done by sophomore Doug Sundman.

“I arrived at my painting class taught by Professor Ron Mills, and was pulled aside by one of my good friends [junior] Megan Justice.

She gave me a form to fill out to have my work shown for a month in Starbucks, and said that the opportunity is open to all that fill out this form,” Sundman said in an email.

Sundman is excited about his work being featured and also encourages other people who are interested in art to fill out this form.

It is free to exhibit your work at Starbucks.

With pieces in a variety of media and sizes, Sundman worked in pencil,

“

pen, pastel, and acrylic.

The Starbucks’s gallery includes one pencil self-portrait, one pareidolic pencil on watercolor paper, one pareidolic pen sketch, one 40-minute study of a model with acrylic on canvas, and one blue-white and one black-white observational sketches.

Most of the pieces are from observation or are naturalistic drawings, but

have been up in Starbucks since the beginning of April and will stay there until the end of the month on April 30.

Sundman is open to selling specific pieces if people email him and ask, but would prefer if he has a connection with the person it is going to.

“I would say Guggle is an inspiration for me, as well as all the art majors here at Linfield putting in long nights to complete their works,” Sundman said in an email.

As Vice President of ClubArt, Sundman finds opportunities for student involvement in the arts around the McMinnville community.

Sundman also invites and encourages to students to attend ClubArt meetings held on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. in the Miller Fine Arts Center.

You can visit Sundman’s work at the Starbucks at 829 Keck Dr, McMnnville OR 97128.

International student shares experience from hometown Jonathan Williams Opinion editor

International students often travel to Linfield College because of its great academics and student life.

Freshman Vince Van’t Hoff from Amsterdam gave an insightful talk titled, “Holland, so far, but still so close!” that emanated with passion and love for his friends and the entire Linfield community.

He said to a pact audience composed of mainly friends and those involved with the International Programs Office to “Try everything” when you study abroad.

Van’t Hoff spoke of his own experiences since he has traveled through most of Oregon and Washington and has even visited Alaska with one of his close friends from Linfield.

His talk was centered

on the differences between Holland and the Netherlands as well as his experiences at Linfield.

He explained that Holland is better known and that people get confused about the Netherlands.

Holland is in the Netherlands even though most people refer to the Netherlands as Holland.

The Netherlands has 12 provinces with two of them being North and South Holland.

Van’t Hoff explained that the Netherlands is 7.5 times smaller than Oregon.

He went on to explain that the national language of the Netherlands is Dutch and that their national color is orange as many probably saw in the 2014 Sochi Olympic games.

The Netherlands is an extremely flat country that has no mountains.

Van’t Hoff explained that because of their proximity to the sea they cre-

er they like.

Van’t Hoff also mentioned that the Netherlands is quite accepting of the LGBT community since the country was the first to allow gay marriage back in 2001.

“Holland is a melting pot of people from 1,001 different backgrounds,” Van’t Hoff said.

Van’t Hoff explained that his home city of Amsterdam where he was born and raised is vibrant and booming with business.

Van’t Hoff’s sister plays water polo and his dad works for the mayor of Amsterdam while his mom works in human resources and helps those in need.

Anyone who knows Van’t Hoff at Linfield would quickly agree that he is always friendly and loves to be with his friends.

With his experiences at Linfield he said that this has been “The best year of my life.”

Van’t Hoff explained that he enjoys hanging out with his brothers in the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity in his spare time and likes to play soccer as that is the sport he has played for

much of his life.

“Linfield has a great sense of community that you don’t see in Holland,” Van’t Hoff said.

Van’t Hoff continued to say people are less prejudiced at Linfield and are more open-minded.

Community service is not really something that people do in Holland so he has enjoyed giving back to the McMinnville community with his friends from Linfield.

Van’t Hoff said that he wants to become an airplane pilot but is still is not entirely sure what he wants to do.

Van’t Hoff concluded by thanking the audience of his friends for coming and said that he has learned that, “College is definitely more than drinking beer on the w e e k -ends.”

Entertainment

‘Frozen’ evolves fairytale stories,family entertainment Special Lovincey Columnist The newest animated film, “Frozen,” embodies traditional Disney metaphors in an empowered and modified light by undermining conventional fairytale tropes.

Back in 2013, “Frozen” became the highest-grossing animated film of all time; creating a buzz around Disney’s two new Princesses and they’re still being talked about.

The popularity of this film amongst not only young girls but also men and women across the spectrum of age, is accredited to the unconventional telling of the story of

two royal sisters, Anna and Elsa. 2013 was definitely a year of female bravery and protagonists and “Frozen” happens to have two female protagonists.

According to an article of Bitch Magazine, “It’s notable that the last three princess movies (Tangled, Brave, and Frozen) all featured central relationships with two females who are related to each other. It would be nice at some point to explore friendship between girls who aren’t related, but as it is, the two leads have a good and complex relationship.”

“Frozen” is not a story of falling in love, but learning to love. This in itself is untraditional of any Disney prin-

cess film. The filmmakers took a traditional fairytale trope of finding true love between a princess and her prince charming and made it about the sisters.

There are many moments of mockery towards falling in love and love at first sight.

Such as when Anna wants to immediately marry a prince she’s hardly known for a day -clearly an overused trope in Disney princess fairytales. Elsa doesn’t have some “already been done” romantic storyline, and the film doesn’t end with a happily ever after wedding.

Disney focuses on a stronger message here, true love at the root but not in the classical ways of traditional Dis-

ney films. Another fairytale trope that’s undermined in addition to this is the true loves kiss. It’s mentioned, but as the story folds out, the audience grows to see that true love doesn’t have to equate to a prince coming to save the day with his lips.

True love means sacrifice for those we love, and without giving away any spoilers, Anna and Elsa prove this from the beginning to the end.

“I thought the movie was very well done. Best soundtrack Disney has produced in awhile as well.

The twists at the end keeps the audience engulfed in the movie until the very last second and it shows a good

juvenile that is beyond the cute factor. It’s just kind of creepy. And why is it creepy? Fake lesbianism.

Essentially the entire song is about engaging in lesbian activities, of which the extent of which is not exactly clear However, Avril is very earnest about showing the girl in question (and getting shown her’s) her “kitty.”

This is just another song that lessens the importance of sexuality and instead turns what is a struggle to some people into a trivial event in which “We won’t talk about tomorrow.”

It’s obvious that this video was not made to be malicious towards the homosexual community or the Japanese people but that is just kind of how it turned out.

In reality, Avril probably just thought she was making a fun music video because she is probably just kind of a vapid person. And

when you actually binge watch a solid number of Avril’s more upbeat music videos, you begin to realize that “Hello Kitty” is pretty on par with the other trash that she has released, the only difference is that this particular trash is also culture insensitive.

This music video is great in the same way that the girl that you hate gets broken up with and then gains twenty pounds is great. It is a train wreck that I literally never want to stop watching.

Alas, there is a rumor floating around that it may soon be deleted from the common music video streaming sites, like YouTube and Vimeo. So, if you haven’t seen this trash, rush online and watch it.

But be wary, because this song has been stuck in my goddamn head for like a week.

‘Hello Kitty’ music video offends Paige Jurgensen Columnist

Seemingly, no one has talked or thought about Avril Lavigne since her hit song “Girlfriend” died out years ago. But now Avril is back and it seems that she of all people can talk back because of her latest song “Hello Kitty” from her new album.

There is so much wrong with this music video. The most obvious, is that the music video is loosely in the genre of J-pop. This means, that Avril is dressed up in Lolita-esque fashion and is hanging out with Japanese women.

Well, “hanging out” is not quite the right phrase, rather “using Japanese women as props.”

The women are dancing in the background with the facial expressions suggesting that they hate both Avril Lavigne and their lives. Avril’s video is appro-

LOLOLOL.” That response, along with the actual video and song, makes one question the age of Avril Lavigne (she’s almost 30.) The first line of the song is “My mom’s not home tonight…”

And I’m just like “Well, duh, you’re a damn married woman.”

message that the prince doesn’t always have to save the day in the end.” Sophomore, Elizabeth Malain said after recently seeing the film.

And worthy of some praise and recognition is the mutual consent between Han and Anna when a kiss is taken place, something all too often lost on screen.

On the downside, this film didn’t fix everything that’s wrong with Disney.

It raises some questions of beauty standards the fact that the princesses of this film and some past Disney princesses relatively look consistently alike. Not to mention the lack of diversity that’s seen in the film.

These drawbacks mirror the

standards of media in general. Not even animation wants to defy the status quo when they’re willing to defy they’re own tropes and stereotypes.

This Disney film gives the audience that of its classics: the castles, heroic heroes, princesses, catchy music and the funny (sometimes annoying) sidekick, but there is a lot that’s been modified in the telling of this story. “Frozen” is an evolved Disney story that’s fitting for a new generation. It’s different and much more worthy of being called family entertainment.

Fall Out Boy makes a comeback Ivanna Tucker KSLC

After a three year hiatus, rock band Fall Out Boy released their comeback album “Save Rock and Roll.” The four-member band consists of Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley.

Their 2008 album “Folie a Deux” was a flop and it seemed like the end for the band. In April 2013, Fall Out Boy released this new album as a challenge to change their sound to be more modern and drift away from their previous “emo” persona.

“The Phoenix” is the first track on the album. It’s powerful strings and percussion instantly lets the listeners know that Fall Out Boy is back. The track consists of Wentz screaming over the music and makes it seem like a battle cry song. Definitely a solid choice for an

’Cats finish season on low note Drew Mahrt For the Review

Spencer Beck/Staff photographer Junior Chris Haddeland pitches during the games against Lewis & Clark on April 26. The baseball team is continuing on the road to the regionals competition with a NWC standing of 22-2.

Baseball: Wildcats keep winning games as regionals gets closer << Continued from page 16

Nate McClellan, two RBI’s from Wiley, and a home run by senior Clayton Truex for two RBI. Then, in the bottom of the sixth inning, senior Kenny Johnson hit a single to right field driving in sophomore Eric Lawson.

The last and final run of the game came in the bottom of the eighth, with a ground ball to second base by sophomore Kekoa Kaulukukui.

However, the last game was nothing like the first two. The ’Cats dominated

the field on April 27 with a 21-1 victory over the Pioneers. The first run for the Wildcats came in the bottom of the second inning on a sacrifice bunt by Lawson.

Nonetheless, it was the third inning that truly changed the scope of the game. In the bottom of the third inning, the ’Cats scored a total of ten runs. The first run came from a Pioneer defensive error. Then, senior Kramer Lindell singled down the left field line for two RBI’s. Shortly after, junior Jo Carroll earned an RBI from a single and Lawson’s single drove in one more run and a defensive

error by the Pioneers added one more. With a home run

by Fischer, Linfield added four more runs to the scoreboard and thus ended the third inning. But it wasn’t over yet. The ’Cats scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning with an RBI from Fischer and a home run

by Wylie. The next inning added one more run with an RBI from McClellan on a single to center field.

The last four runs came in the bottom of the seventh inning with RBI’s from senior Garett Speyer, Kaulukukui, sophomore Finn McMichael and freshman Ryan Pladson.

With a sweep victory over

Lewis and Clark, there is no question that the ’Cats baseball team is focused on the post season.

“Going into the postseason I think we can begin polishing nearly every aspect and getting all facets of the game to come together,” Lawson said. “When we play a complete game, that is when we are at our best.

So we simply have to keep working on bringing it all together and playing the way we know we are capable of.”

It’s an exciting time to be a Wildcat and there’s no

Linfield’s men’s golf team participated in the Northwest Conference championships on the weekend of April 26-27.

The team had one top-ten finisher and three toptwenty finishers, but could only manage to place fifth out of nine team.

While the team was disappointed in their finish to the season, there is a silver lining. As described by Junior golfer Logan Munson, “most of the team will be back next season and I think we should be able to compete for the conference championship.”

Munson was the best scorer for Linfield in the tournament, shooting a 74 followed by a 79 to end nine over for the tournament and place eight individually.

A.J Taylor and Taylor Klopp were then next best, shooting 12 and 14 over after both days and finishing 16th and 20th, respectively.

Linfield will only be losing two players to graduation (A.J Taylor, Tommy Schmitz) heading into the next season, so the majority of the team will stay in tact, including the top four golfers according to the season end statistics.

Taylor Klopp averaged an impressive 76 strokes per round, leading the team

13

in the end of year averages.

Kyle Hargrave and Kevin Kawasaki were very close behind Klopp, averaging 78 strokes per round. Hargrave was unable to make it to the conference championships.

The Wildcats also have a few very promising freshman that will be in the mix of the tournament team for next years squad.

Nathan Pellatz, Evan Kasberg and Sam McClain are three freshman that averaged right around the 82-83 mark all year, and definitely have a shot at improving their game and becoming some of Linfield go-to players in the next couple of years.

The team finished fifth in the finals tournament and in the NWC rankings over all. This was the lowest finish the team has seen in 20 year, and the team will certainly be putting in some extra practice hours over the summer to improve for next season.

Looking forward, next year will be the teams chance to be a power house in the golf league.

With the team keeping their top four players, and also having few underclassmen that have shown very high potential, Linfield could see a high finish in the standings for its men’s golf team.

NCAA make athletic reforms John Jeansonne Newsday

Already the results of Friday’s Northwestern football players’ vote on whether to unionize — unlikely to be known for months — don’t appear to matter.

Amid the wide-ranging conversation on treatment of college athletes, at full boil since the March 26 National Labor Relations Board ruling that Northwestern athletes qualify as college employees, a vague panic appears to have set in among Northwestern and NCAA officials.

As both the school and NCAA have campaigned vigorously against unionization, including Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald characterizing a “yes” vote as a personal affront, they simultaneously have moved to provide interestingly timed new benefits and perks.

The iPads it recently gave its players, Northwestern contended, were unrelated to the impending vote, and the NCAA announced a plan to grant autonomy to its five largest conferences for funding scholarships and handling health care and other athletes’ issues.

On Thursday, the NCAA added a food bonus: Its scholarship athletes now will be provided all the snacks they want beyond the usual three meals a day.

The point is that, no matter where this leads, “every football player in the country can now say, ‘You can’t mistreat me, or I’ll form a union,”” Abrams said. “I’m not convinced that a union is a good idea. But I do think the NCAA is a mess.”

In a Huffington Post blog earlier this month, Abrams suggested that the NCAA is about to go through some form of “reconception.” Aside

from the Northwestern case, a June 9 trial is set for former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon’s antitrust lawsuit related to the use of player names and images, and sports labor attorney Jeffrey Kessler filed a class-action suit in March arguing the NCAA unlawfully caps the value of players’ athletic scholarships.

The NCAA’s tortured logic of calling its athletes “students first” essentially was shot down in the NLRB decision that cited players’ workloads of 40 to 50 hours a week, while the NCAA and its coaches and athletic directors keep the billions of dollars in profit.

“When you read (the NLRB decision),” Abrams said, “you feel for how much this is a full-time job for the kids. Then they’re going to go to physics and chem?”

He recommends a voucher system for athletes “to complete their pre-professional

playing careers, then go to college. They still would be part of the student body, even though they certainly are employees.”

On Thursday, the full NLRB board agreed to review its regional ruling, and that panel’s conclusion will be made public before Friday’s Northwestern vote is unsealed. (Possibly not for a month or two.) Legal experts overwhelmingly expect the original decision allowing unionization to be upheld.

A “yes” vote by players likely would result in Northwestern refusing to negotiate with the new union, which would send the dispute to the U.S. Court of Appeals, adding as many as 18 more months to the process. A “no” vote theoretically would end the exercise.

Except, as Abrams said, “already, life has changed.

This is not going to go away.”

’Cats finishes season with a win, loss Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor The women’s tennis Northwest Conference Championships fell from the Wildcats paws when facing off with Whitman College on April 27.

Despite a 5-3 win against Whitworth University, Linfield could not bounce back from a shutout win by the Missionaries.

Four unfinished matches worked against the Wildcats singles, as the only two matches completed ended in favor of Whitman.

With two doubles teams falling to the Missionaries, the final doubles match between junior Gretchen Jernstedt and freshman Courtney Mostul versus Jenna Dobrin and Hannah

Palkowitz was the closest of all the matches of the day. Jernstedt and Mostul pulled in close finishing the first round 9-8, requiring a tie-breaker where they fell 7-4.

The Wildcats captured the first day of the competition from the Pirates.

Senior Caroline Brigham won her singles match due to her opponent needing to retire. Other singles matches one by Linfield were junior Kaila Nip and freshmen Marisa Kume and Mackenzie Fraser.

The only Linfield victory for doubles was won by senior Caroline Brigham and Fraser, winning 8-0.

Overall everyone performed well, everyone has bad days and those who did performed great in other events,” Edge said. “For the girls team, one of the strengths came out of (senior) Anna LaBeaume who won the shot put and my first place finish in the 100-meter hurdles competition. Ellie Schmidt also did really well and took second in the 200-meter race. Next up, giving those who are close to nationals to make it there—to keep competing and improving our times and marks. I couldn’t be happier with how I’ve done this season. I say everyone did amazing and we all showed up to compete.

It was a great weekend for the Wildcat track and field team.”

A closer look at the ‘Pay for Play’ controversy

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about the controversy surrounding Northwestern University football team’s authorization to unionize. The decision was granted by the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago claiming that the Northwestern University football players have the right to unionize based on the amount of time (50-60 hours a week) that they dedicate to the sport without monetary compensation.

There are a lot of facets to the pay for play controversy I would like to clear up.

The fact that revenue generated from sporting events can help fund other facilities of big institutions is actually not true.

Although there is an enormous amount of revenue generated by Division I

Sports Commentary

Camille Weber Sports columnist schools, there are also a lot of expenses such as facility maintenance, medical expenses and coaches salary before the school can make a profit. However, 82 percent of Football Bowl Division (FBS) schools actually take a loss after the season is over with the average loss of about $11.6 million.

The money big institutions revenue usually comes from state funding and gets

organized into a college general fund. This fund is used for academic purposes and other aspects of school life. However, the money that is made in sports does not go back into the college.

The college board of trustees determines how much of its general fund helps to support college athletics, but to say that revenues from Division I sports is responsible for funding a substantial amount of academic expenses is incorrect.

However some higher revenue sports like basketball and football crosssubsidized their profits to other less popular sports programs. In this way, higher revenue sports such as football and basketball can help fund less popular sports like golf and tennis.

There are limitations on how much athletes

can receive according to NCAA rules and regulations. For example, athletes are not allowed to re-sell team apparel for profit of any kind while they are affiliated with the team.

There were also regulations on food for Division I athletes, however after a backlash from students in 2012, the NCAA has since changed the regulations on how much food players are allowed to consume.

One of the things the Northwestern football team want to earn from their authorization to unionize is workmen’s compensation through more four year scholarships. There are two different types of scholarships. There are equivalency scholarships for nonrevenue sports and head count scholarships that are typically used for high gen-

erating revenue sports. The equivalency scholarships are divided amongst the players on a team and are renewable every year. These scholarships are utilized by sports teams because there are typically less players and less competition between athletes to receive spots on the team. Head count scholarships on the other hand are usually 85 full-ride scholarships with no compensation for walkon players. The sports that utilize these scholarships (such as basketball and football) use these scholarships because football and basketball bring in a ton of revenue and players are usually not willing to play for a Division I sport team without a full ride scholarship.

So Northwestern football players want four year

scholarships for their student athletes, is that really a bad thing? Well, it actually can be. One of the major concerns for the NCAA is that athletes will take the offer of a guaranteed four year scholarship and choose not to compete after the first year.

It is evident that the controversy over Northwestern University football program’s pay for play is much deeper an issue than initially anticipated. A lot of these issues are deeply ingrained in the culture of modern day sports. The culture entails that making money is just as important as the enjoyment of the sport and I think that this is where the problem in modern day sports lies.
