Students filled every inch of Ice Auditorium to watch an interactive comedy show about alcohol awareness April 13.

The performing comedians were Patrick McIntyre and Bryce Wissel, who did their best to make learning about being safe while drinking fun for students.

“Today we’re going to talk about booze,” Wissel said to open the show.

The show began with splitting

the audience in half and having one side shout “who likes to party,” while the other half responded, “we like to party.”

Once the audience was warmed up, the hosts called freshman Tyler Miller on stage to wear “beer goggles” that simulated having a .25 blood alcohol level. He was asked to perform simple tasks, such as catching a ball and walking a straight line, which was clearly hard while wearing the goggles.

The two hosts went on to explain that alcohol affects both your mind

and body.

“Whether or not you choose to drink is nobody’s business,” both McIntyre and Wissel said.

view, both applicants were required to submit an application, containing answers to supplemental questions, a résumé, examples of their work and two recommendation letters.

They were also asked to revise the Review’s budget and write a onepage response justifying the changes they would make.

“It was a difficult decision because we had to choose between two well-qualified applicants. The newspaper would have been in good hands either way,” Thompson said. “[Sigler] has a vision for the paper that is going to take hard work but seems realistic and achievable.”

Sigler said that as editor-in-chief, she hopes to increase readership around campus and have more of an online presence, through expressing

the importance of staying up on campus news.

“Even though we are a student-run Sigler newspaper we still play an important role on campus. It’s our job to inform students, staff, faculty, administration and alumni about what is going on around campus,” Sigler said.

Sigler has worked for the Review the past two years. During that time, she served as the copy editor for part of a semester and news editor for a year and a half.

In high school, she worked on

The 2013-14 Associated Students of Linfield College Cabinet was approved during the April 9 Senate meeting in TJ Day 103.

The new ASLC Cabinet consists of juniors Annika Yates, club director; Ali Smith, vice president of business and finance; Zane Carey, sports director; Nicole Paulachak, publicity director; freshmen Nick Knonen, student center director; Shelby Porter, secretary; and sophomore Alli Halley, vice president of programming.

The hiring committee included juniors Dillon Casados, ASLC president elect, Jake Baker, ASLC vice president elect, freshmen Julian Adoff, Savannah Smith, senior Harper Taylor and Dan Fergueson, director of college activities.

A total of 20 students applied for the seven positions.

“It was very intense during the evaluation process where we made our decisions,” Baker said in an email. “But in the end, I am very happy with those who were selected.”

Before approving the new Cabinet, tension rose as senators questioned why students were placed in positions they did not apply for.

“Everyone is in the best place for them to not only do their job well, but impact the future of ASLC and Linfield College,” Baker said. >> Please see ASLC page 5

The Linfield Review has hired an editor-in-chief for the 2013-14 school year, after assessing two applicants.

Sophomore Samantha Sigler, currently acting as the Review’s news editor, was chosen to fill the position.

Sigler was hired April 12, after undergoing an interview process with Brad Thompson, associate professor of mass communication; Lisa Weidman, assistant professor of mass communication; and senior Jessica Prokop, the current editor-inchief.

Junior Kelsey Sutton, managing editor for the Review, also applied for the position.

Apart from an in-person inter-

The Bronco Blaze at Parkrose High School for four years.

“It was encouraging having two students show interest in the position. For the past few years, we have only had one student apply,” Prokop said. ”The current staff has been trying to generate a greater interest in the Review, and it seems to be paying off.”

Sigler will assume the position of editor-in-chief in May. “I look forward to working with [Sigler] and her staff next year,” Thompson said.

Opinions

Students upset about housing regulations As students begin to scope out new rooms, decide which friend they want to live with and stare hopelessly into their savings account, it is quite obvious that housing registration is beginning in only 11 days.

An email sent out about off-campus regulations from Jeff Mackay, associate dean of students and director of Residence Life, has many students hoping that their dreams of cheaper rent and more freedom will pull through.

Mackay announced in an email that off-campus housing is now only available to students who are in their fourth year, 21 years of age prior to the start of the 2013-14 academic year, living with parent(s) or guardian(s) in their primary home of residence within 20 miles of the Linfield cam-

pus, married or in a registered domestic partnership or have a qualifying dependent living in the primary home of residence.

This is a change from the old exemption rules in which off-campus housing was determined by amount of credits.

Some students have expressed their outrage at the new exemption rules being released so late in the year. With only a month before housing registration, many students have already been making their arrangements months ago.

One student already signed a lease to live offcampus because the old exemption rules worked for this particular student. Now, the student has a house and is also forced into renting an on-campus apartment.

Other sophomore stu-

dents have been taking harder and heavier credit loads in order to meet the correct number of credits for off-campus housing. However, since they will only be juniors, the new exemption requirements do not apply.

These students have worked hard to get the correct number of credits or figure out extensive financial need situations in order to live off campus and save a little money.

Linfield is an expensive school, and it would be nice if students were given a break here and there.

With little warning, it is understandable why students are so upset by the new change.

To respond to student concerns, administration has agreed that old exemption rules continue to apply to some existing situations,

while the new exemption rules will apply to future situations.

If a student lived off campus this year and will not meet the new criteria, they will be allowed to continue living off campus as long as they meet the old criteria again.

Administration will be following this grandfather clause for any student who was exempt last year as a result of the financial criteria.

Hopefully, next time housing exemptions and regulations are changed, students will get a more advanced warning; otherwise, student trust and morale will continue to drop, and no one will be happy with where they are living.

MUSIC

Controversy questions state of hip-hop, rap

For all of you who frequent the frats here at Linfield, you’re probably familiar with the Tyga song “Rack City,” released in early 2011.

How would you react if you heard that Tyga was coming to Linfield to perform as the main act in this year’s Wildstock?

Probably quite differently from how Harvard students are reacting to the news of the artist’s performance in their annual Yardfest music festival April 15.

Many Harvard students are protesting the arrival of the controversial artist on their campus, whose lyrics they have called “explicitly and violently misogynistic” in an online petition urging students to eliminate Tyga from the lineup.

“Rack City” is undoubtedly sexist, uses offensive language and is named number nine on BET’s “25

Olivia Marovich Staff writer Best Strip Club Anthems.”

So, what is it that is making us sing along?

Have we decided to ignore the message in order to appreciate the beats in many of the popular rap and hip-hop songs of the day?

Has popular music lost its ability to inspire political and social change?

I believe these questions are central to the debate over hip-hop and rap lyrics today, which some people applaud as fun, danceworthy songs, while oth-

ers condemn them for their treatment of women, focus on drug and alcohol abuse, and general lack of artistic purpose.

The issue with putting hip-hop into either of these categories is that it ignores the varied history of the genre, which has never been accepted by those of the “high culture” set as legitimate art.

Critics would rather over-simplify this type of music as angry, violent, anti-feminist and homophobic, ignoring the music of artists like Tupac, RunD.M.C., Wu Tang Clan and many others.

These artists in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, known as the Golden Age of hip-hop, are remembered for their innovation and subject matter.

They stimulated change socially and politically for a generation that grew up in the wake of the Civil Rights

movement.

Hip-hop proved to be an important tool in educating and acknowledging the struggle of the black population in urban areas, with songs like Tupac’s “Changes” addressing drug use, police brutality and gang violence, that seemed inescapable in some areas.

Hip-hop never had a completely unified front on how to address these issues, or even on the changing sound of the genre, typified in the Common song “I Used to Love H.E.R.” about the rift between the East and West Coast rappers of the time, but at least they were addressing these problems.

Contrast that with quotes from artists of today, like Drake, who famously said that “we live in a generation where there is nothing necessarily to fight for politically.”

I would disagree with Drake. I feel there is still a strong platform for hip-hop artists to advocate for social change, as Macklemore proved in his single “Same Love” about equal rights for gays and lesbians.

While Tyga’s raps definitely push the boundaries of what is socially acceptable, it is the lack of a strong social message that makes songs like “Rack City” appear to be pointless violence.

Popular rap of the day, if not fighting for a clear message, is nothing more than fancy rhymes over strong beats.

What Harvard students are realizing is that music is not simply entertainment, but can become a powerful force for change in a world in desperate need of direction.

TECHNOLOGY

Linfield should strive to be a paperless community Being at the forefront of the 21st century, there is a wealth of great technology at the disposal of the college.

However, Linfield chooses not to use many of them. Students are not even required to own a personal computer. There are many things that can be done to change the way the campus deals with technology, which will only improve the communication lines between students, faculty and staff.

An area that can be easily changed by embracing technology is the amount of paper that students and

Julian Adoff Multimedia editor staff print.

Blackboard is a great way to share documents with students and also turn in assignments, but students print way too much.

As a student taking a lot of social science classes, I read hundreds of pages worth of Blackboard docu-

ments a semester. I read them on my computer or eReader, but there are a great majority of people in my classes that print everything out.

Some teachers even require that the documents be printed.

This is not only bad for the environment, but is a huge waste of money.

If students are printing this much, just imagine what administrative departments are printing. I expect it to be a lot.

The school would save a massive amount of money if there were to be a paperless campaign on campus.

It is impossible for the school to completely get rid of paper, but we should stop relying on it.

Modern electronics make it so easy for the school to curb its reliance on paper.

One tool that has been adopted by some teachers is the use of Google Documents.

This free word processor allows for collaboration on assignments and projects.

Google Documents can also be integrated into Blackboard. This seems like it would make life easier for students and professors.

Many schools are start-

ing to make tablets, like the iPad, part of tuition.

If Linfield were to do this, then students would be able to use them for reading Blackboard documents without printing and still be able to make comments.

They would also be able to save money on textbooks by having the option to buy digital textbooks.

Professors who use their own texts as materials can use programs like Apple’s iBooks Author to convert their books into easily shared ebooks.

It is obvious that there are many things that the

school can do to create a paperless environment.

Now, action must be taken for the change to actually occur and become a daily staple to the Linfield community.

There are some people on campus that are already starting to move in this direction.

Some of the current ASLC Cabinet members are starting to work on creating a paperless office.

Other departments needs to get behind this effort to save money and the environment.

‘The Bachelor’ dating experience is unrealistic Fresh off the elephant ride after the stunning proposal by a pond, everything seemed perfect in the lives of the newly engaged couple Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici.

If participating on a dating show wasn’t enough to start their relationship off on an unrealistic foot, then the events following don’t help much either.

Let’s start off with the fact that they had to keep their relationship a secret until the finale aired. This means no proper dates at Applebee’s, or if you are super classy, Olive Garden.

No putt-putt golf, no movies, no long walks on the beach, no nothing. You can’t even send flowers because the news would spread quicker than wildfire.

Oh wait, you thought no flowers were bad, how about not seeing each other at all. Talk about a set up for disaster.

The key to a relationship is that you spend time together. No relationship that has been kept a secret has been functional. Just watch an episode of 90210, you will understand!

In addition to the fact that these two love birds could not see each other for quite some time after shooting, Sean also decided to sign up for “Dancing with the Stars.” Um, come again, Sean?

Instead of doing the “sexy fox trot” with Peta Murgatroyd, you should probably be doing it with Catherine.

I mean, come on, what are you thinking?

Despite how strong you claim your bond is with your fiancée, a normal girl

Kate Straube Photo editor is going to get jealous of you swinging your hips and having fake (but probably slightly real) chemistry with another girl, especially one who is a skilled dancer.

We have all seen the tabloids claiming that their relationship is ending before it really began.

Who knows whether US Weekly can be trusted, but let’s be honest with ourselves, the situation does not play in the favor of Catherine.

Sorry, girl, but welcome to what just might be round two of the “Bachelor.”

If I were you, I would start learning some dance moves because it probably won’t be long until you have to compete with Peta for some one-on-one time.

Watch out for the rose ceremony in the near future because you might not be getting a rose this time.

Needless to say, I am hoping for the best. We don’t need another “Bachelor” couple hitting the dust, but the way their relationship is put together, they are being set up to fail before they even get out of the blocks.

As amazing as the “Bachelor” experience may be, it’s not realistic.

Sorry ladies, back to the bar.

POP CULTURE

Enough is enough for Hollywood remakes The older I get, the more I notice how theaters are running rampant with remakes.

With the highly anticipated new rendition of “The Great Gatsby” on the way, critics and moviegoers are realizing how remakes are becoming a staple in every theater.

Don’t get me wrong, I often enjoy remakes. However, it is disappointing that fewer and fewer movies are based off of original screenplays and innovative story telling.

Some say that nothing is truly original, that every movie is in some small way or another influenced by past movies and other forms of art, but that isn’t my main point.

I am saying that Holly-

Alyssa Townsend Opinion editor wood is lacking creativity, and it’s our generation’s job to pick up the slack.

The last three or four movies I’ve seen in theaters were either based on books or previous movies.

I enjoyed them all, but it seems to me that we are at a point in time when Hollywood’s creativity has hit an all time low.

I realize that recreating a movie or television show is a different form of creativ-

ity, but I’d like to see more movies or television shows that have an original plot.

The big screen isn’t the only place where this lack of creativity has taken place.

Two of the biggest shows on TV right now, “Game of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead” are based on a book and graphic novel series.

Not that they aren’t fantastic pieces of television, but I’d like to see more originally produced shows like “Parks and Recreation” and “Breaking Bad” dominating the air. These original shows tend to be more thought provoking and have characters that are much more relatable to the times.

Remakes often aren’t culturally significant anymore, or at least ruin the original movie or television show.

For example, “Joey” was a spin off from “Friends” that almost made me dislike Matt LeBlanc. That is hard to do!

Or, the newest serial killer television show, “Bates Motel” is definitely lacking creativity in comparison to its competitor and the newest original show, “The Following.”

By no means am I saying remakes are terrible and that content should be based on nothing but the creator’s imagination.

However, I hope creativity will spark again soon for Hollywood in hopes that a more equal balance between original content and remakes occurs.

Professor discusses cultural effects of energy decline Kelsey Sutton Managing editor Tom Love, professor of anthropology, gathered with students and faculty to talk about the energy constrained future of the U.S. Love, who is also a member of the environmental studies faculty, discussed the net energy cliff that he believes is dead ahead and its cultural effects April 10 in Riley 201.

“The oil crunch, the shortfall, is coming sooner than people think,” Love said.

Love said there are two types of mindsets when it comes to the end of the petroleum era. First, there are those who see this as a quick and inevitable threat to our daily ways of life.

“These kinds of problems threaten to knock out key subsystems, like long-distance trucking. It becomes almost impossible to do things like hauling bagged lettuce from Southern California to the other side of the country so store shelves might go empty.

These waves of unexpected collapse of subsystems looks like a whole house of cards model, things just fall apart,” he said.

But he also said many people see this as a slow crash and aren’t as convinced this will happen

anytime soon.

“People have a tough time responding to incremental change. They are more likely to respond to a sudden change, like the threat of war,” Love said.

“But if it’s creeping like climate change, it’s harder to mobilize people.”

Responses and solutions to the crisis will vary. He said that the solution will be uneven and heterogeneous. Some regions will be more proactive, such as the Pacific Northwest, with wind and solar power developments and hydroelectricity. This area may be well prepared to deal with a variety of challenges that may be coming.

Love spent the first half of his lecture emphasizing the decline of net energy.

Net energy is the flow of energy that’s left over after what’s used for the mining, drilling, processing and distribution of the consumption it’s actually intended for.

“The net energy is dropping. We’re spending more and more just to get the energy,” Love said, also highlighting the problem of the rate of extraction.

Reducing dependency on fossil fuels and cheap oil is the best way to deal with this problem. Americans will need to decrease their frequent mobility and con-

“The task is to reduce your reliance on driving.

Build habits and practices that will work in a postcheap oil era,” he said.

“Walking, public transit, locate yourself near transit services. Build community, cultivate relationships with

people, borrow stuff and reciprocate, work together.”

Love stressed the importance of students taking this problem seriously.

“It will affect you more than its affected people my age. You’re going to have to deal with some issues,” he said. “I like the way your

generation is quite pragmatic about it all. They accept what it is, roll up their sleeves and figure out how to deal with it.”

Love said it is easy to freak out about all of this stuff. But he encourages everyone to enjoy the gift of life.

“Take the appropriate steps, adjust your expectations and just enjoy life,” he said. “Take a road trip while you can, travel the world now. It’s a unique moment in history, why not enjoy it?”

New dean of nursing Linfield to participate in Earth Week selected at Portland campus for spring Kelsey Sutton Managing editor

Julian Adoff Multimedia editor Linfield hired a new dean of nursing, and she is expected to begin work sometime this spring.

Susan Agre-Kippenhan, dean of faculty, and a search committee headed

by Shaik Ismail hired Dr. Mallie Kozy. The interview process included faculty and students from the Portland and McMinnville campuses.

“She has an impressive background but also understands what she wants for the future of Linfield College. I believe she will succeed in being the dean of our nursing school,” senior Jordan Reed said.

The previous dean of nursing, Dr. Bonnie Sousiey, left Linfield in fall 2011.

Since then, Dr. Beverly Epeneter acted as the interim dean.

The committee and AgreKippenhan brought three candidates to the school for interviews and had them address the challenges that nursing education faces.

AgreK i p penhan reported that Dr. K o z y w a s able to connect national Kozy reports about education with reallife events. This impressed both the committee and Agre-Kippenhan.

Kozy easily connected with staff and students.

She is currently the department chair of the nursing undergraduate program at Lourdes University in Ohio.

“The university’s nursing program has many similarities to our own,” AgreKippenhan said. This will aid Kozy in the transition between the schools.

Both Kozy and AgreKippenhan talked about increasing the visibility of nursing on both the Portland and McMinnville campuses.

The Office of Sustainability will host a variety of events and tables to challenge the Linfield community to be aware of its impact on the environment. Earth Week is April 15-22, and there will be something for everyone.

“There will be a diverse array of events ranging from fun to not so practical events, to lectures that are educational. We’re trying to appeal to everyone this Earth Week, trying to send the message that sustainability is really accessible,” said Duncan Reid, director of the Office of Sustainability. “We’re trying to broaden the scope and definition of sustainability.”

On April 15, there will be an elimination-style game show in Dillin. There will be six contestants, who are hand-selected from the stu-

dent body. There will be a lecture April 16, discussing civil and environmental rights within communities, as well as a recycled art exhibit. The lecture on April 17 will be about ways to con-

Earth Week will culminate with the biggest event April 19, with a timed obsta-

pens to be Reid’s favorite activity. After the games, the music will start.

“Earth Week is a celebration, it’s a way to have fun,” Reid said. “I like the idea of taking some of these serious issues that we’re thinking about, and just having fun

and celebrating.”

If students are interested in signing up to be a participant in the Earth Games, there will be opportunities to sign up at the various tables.

Additionally, students can email freshman Alex Ogle or Reid. Contestants will be announced at the Cat Cab. Global Youth Service Day is April 20, and sign-ups for the day of volunteering will be available at the tables.

On April 21, there will be a local hike in Miller Woods sponsored by the Associated Students of Linfield College and Circle K. April 22 is a zero waste challenge day.

“This is hopefully the beginning of a more established program,” he said.

“We’ll be taking examples from the year before of what works the best and what doesn’t. It’s the first big year for Earth Week, and it won’t be the last.”

Tuition Students tell Alternative Spring Break stories Kiera Downs Free Day Copy editor coming to campus Julian Adoff Multimedia editor Student Alumni Association (SAA) plans to call attention to the financial assistance given to students at Tuition Free Day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 18 in the Fred Meyer Lounge.

Students pay 86 percent of their tuition. The remainder is paid with donations.

Each student receives about $7,000 in a “hidden scholarship” each year.

The date of Tuition Free Day coincided with the time of the year that donations start to pay students’ tuitions.

“To symbolize the gap in your tuition that you do not pay, we will have doughnut holes,” freshman Kathryn DeVore said.

SAA will aim to promote philanthropy by having a contest with clubs that attend the event. The club with the most members will get to choose a charity for SAA to donate $100 in its name.

During the event, Wildcat Productions will have a video booth for students to share the moment when they realized that Linfield was the right place for them. The video will then be sent to Linfield’s donors.

“Donors love hearing from students,” junior Mariah Torres said.

The Men’s Glee Club will be performing a song from Les Misérables during the event.

Alternative Spring Break (ASB) leaders gave brief presentations where the participants got to share a favorite moment April 10 in Jonasson Hall.

ASB is a week-long volunteer opportunity to serve the needs of different communities. Each group contributed more than 100 hours of service.

One group did youth empowerment in Seattle, Wash., and worked with four different organizations.

It worked with an organization called Youth Care.

Youth Care works with atrisk youth. It has programs that interact with these youth and even help them get their GED. Ryther is an organization that works with kids who have experienced trauma, been abused, or have an addiction. It even has “inpatient” or “on campus” housing for kids who need it. Ryther also works with families inside their homes and help kids transition in between.

This group also worked with a national organization called America SCORES. The goal of America SCORES is to empower youth both inside and out of the classroom with soccer as its main tool. This

First Place School helps low income families. It is the fourth organization this group worked with. The aim of the school is to teach both the child and the family. It focuses on the need of the student rather than where society says they should be.

Another ASB group worked with Habitat for Humanity and went to Tacoma, Wash.

It helped build foundations for houses, which comprised of a lot of manual labor. This group also worked alongside the families receiving the houses and AmeriCorps members in charge of construction.

This group had the opportunity to think critically about the issues these families faced and have discussions and reflections about it.

The third group worked with a wildlife organization in Westcliffe, Colo. It

worked with Mission: Wolf, which takes in wolves or wolf/dog breeds.

Mission: Wolf serves to help these wolves and educate the public about wolf conservation.

The participants did a lot of manual labor. Their tasks included fire mitigation and fence building.

They also got to meet the wolves.

ASB trips provided an opportunity for students to develop a deeper connection with Linfield students

and staff. They also learned about issues in society and how to help solve them.

Hopefully {we will] make the campus a better place for students.”

Nobel Prize winner takes audience on accelerated journey Sarah Mason Features editor “Humans love to understand the world around us,” guest speaker Brian Schmidt said.

Schmidt, a co-recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics and leader of the High-Redshift Supernova Search Team, helped students, faculty, administration and community members begin to understand the universe during the Oregon Nobel Laureate Symposium: The Accelerating Universe on April 8 in Ice Auditorium.

The visiting professor from the Australian National University took the audience on a “tour of the universe” to better understand cosmology in its entirety.

Schmidt explained the research and processes that led up to the 1994 discovery

that landed him and his fellow High-Redshift Supernova Search team members a Nobel Prize.

He began his presentation by discrediting the popular belief that the expansion of the universe is slowing down.

Schmidt’s team of 20 astronomers from five cont i n e n t s w o r k e d collaboratively to discover proof that the universe is in fact expanding.

The team of astronomers measured the universe’s behavior in the past billion years and compared it to that of the universe today.

During his presentation, Schmidt also discussed what is causing the universe to accelerate: dark energy.

Little is still known about this energy that is pushing the universe. However, Schmidt explained that the universe is a mix of approximately 30 percent normal gravitational matter pulling on the universe, 70 percent which is pushing the universe.

Dark energy is essentially invisible, making it difficult to observe. Schmidt

Schmidt concluded that the future of the universe is not dark matter. He said there is a battle between dark energy and dark matter, and as of now, dark energy is the future of the universe. As space continues to expand, more dark energy will push against gravity and thus create even more space and more dark energy.

He said that in the next 3.5 billion years, the nearest galaxies to Earth will collapse and form a super galaxy.

“One day, we will look out onto an empty universe,” he said.

Visting couple translate hardships in Guatemala Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief

Living through a civil war is one thing, but being apart of it’s history is another. For one couple, the Guatemalan Civil War brought them to their passion of service for the country and to each other.

Holly Martin Montúfar and Flavio Montúfar presented on their involvement in the Guatemalan Civil War from 1960 to 1996 on April 10 in the Pioneer Reading Room. The lecture was part of the PLACE program.

Holly began the presentation with some general background information about the citizens of the MayaMam village of Todo Santos Cuchumatán in Guatemala.

The citizens were a simple people who were closed off from most of society, as the village was surrounded by mountains. Holly found herself drawn to the culture as her previous husband and his family were villagers from Todo Santos Cuchumatán.

Todo Santos Cuchumatán

was rocked by the Civil War when a massacre occurred, leaving Holly’s husband’s family displaced but alive.

She has also worked with multiple organizations to increase the efforts for support for the victims of the war, such as the Institución Mam de Desarrollo Integral (IMDI) and the Forensic Anthropology Foundation of Guatemala (FAFG).

After Holly had finished her portion of the presentation, she shared the story of how her and Flavio met through their efforts for justice for those affected by the Civil War. Flavio and Holly met when Holly went to some excavations where Flavio was working in 2001.

After Flavio was divorced in 2006, the two fell in love during a trip to Todos Santos they took together, while accompanied by Flavio’s son, David, and film maker Olivia Carrescia. The couple was married in 2008 and now work together to gain awareness of the conflict in Guatemala.

“I joke that the true test of ability as a partner was

Flavio’s portion of the presentation included more involvement with the internal conflicts, and more specifically, the deaths caused by the fighting. He present-

ed his portion of the lecture in Spanish with Holly translating for him.

Flavio explained his initial involvement was the information he learned while working for a radio station in Quiché, Guatemala. He later started working for the Quiché fire department. His primary job was responding to those attacked and injured

because of the Civil War. Flavio also worked as the assistant to a medical examiner, putting him directing involved with the conflict.

He would respond to different excavation sites and would determine the cause of death of the bodies found all across the country.

Flavio explained that he was not able to write down

many of his experiences.

“My paper only has some general explanation of what is in my slide show,” Holly translated. “The explanation I’m going to give is not written in any documents because everything you experience in the middle of a war is written in the stone.”

are five categories to executing a sustainable event: waste, food miles, energy, space and transportation.

Starting off by looking at how to reduce waste, Holm suggested things as easy as recycling, composting and reusing, but also brought up BYOC (bring your own cup) events.

Holm also talked about the importance of buying local foods. By buying local foods, clubs don’t have to buy food that has traveled across the country or world. She referred to this—the distance of the food—as “food miles.”

“By choosing local foods, you are not supporting food that has traveled farther, which creates more emissions,” Holm said. “We are lucky cause we have a great

farmer’s market.”

Holm also suggested making events vegetarian or vegan because meat products are often more expensive when they are organic. But if a club is having meat products at its event, Holm said that making sure that the meat is local, grass-fed and free range is the key to being more sustainable.

Energy is also a major part in holding an event. From using an energy efficient venue to making sure the temperature is correct can lower an event’s energy usage.

“The key to educating others on the topic is by going out and doing it,” Holm said. “A venue owner might not even know how they could help.”

The two hosts listed multiple tips and tricks for students who do choose to drink throughout their show. The list included staying hydrated, going slow, clearing your schedule for the next day, staying with people you trust, not mixing alcohol and medication, and deleting ex’s numbers from your cell phone.

Throughout the show, the hosts asked students from the audience to participate in interactive games on stage.

Such games included the “body organ dating show,” in which two students were asked to answer questions for a $50 gift card.

“I thought it was great that they approached the sub-

ject with a good combination of humor and seriousness,” sophomore Rachel Axtman said. “It [made] it easy to relate to and keep everyone into it.”

Axtman was asked to go on stage to act out a scene in which McIntyre pretended to be an intoxicated friend embarrassing himself.

“I thought that the way they took direction from the students was very funny and creative,” Axtman said.

“I don’t know that it has changed any of my ideas about alcohol, but I think that it was a good reminder about the risks for everyone.”

The hosts also touched on the dangers of binge drinking and assault while people are intoxicated.

They asked students to

think of CAGE whenever they are concerned about someone who may be drinking too much. CAGE stands for cutting back, acting aggressive, feeling guilty and having eyeopening moments.

Later, the hosts explained that bodies can only metabolize one drink per hour and all the ways alcohol affects the brain.

Students were asked to also participate in a game where they had to stop Wissel from driving drunk, and two students with the best answers won $50 gift cards once again.

“If you are going to drink, you don’t have to be a dumbass about it,” Wissel said.

With sustainability becoming a top priority for society, one Linfield senior is using her internship to educate Linfield clubs about how to host green events.

Senior Katharine Holm held a presentation on how to make events more sustainable for clubs on campus with the help of freshman Riley Self on April 9.

Holm stated that “green events” are not only beneficial to the environment but to the entire campus as a whole.

“Running off of the world’s natural resources, while keeping a balance between economics, social standards and the environment,” Holm said.

Yoga instructor brings new insight U

Kaylyn Peterson/Copy chief

nder the philosophy that anyone can do Yoga, the new yoga instructor begins to find her place at Linfield.

Erin Bowman took over the position as the yoga instructor beginning this spring term.

Bowman has developed her philosophy for yoga since she started teaching in 2008.

“I believe that yoga should be accessible to almost everyone,” Bowman said. “It really is something that is evolutionary for people who stick with it and find the right style for themselves.”

She has worked with people who have limited mobility and are in their 50’s and 60’s.

“I worked with people who are rediscovering their body, and that’s really exciting,” Bowman said.

Bowman has also worked with athletes who have other types of limitations.

Growing up in the small coastal town of Lincoln City, Ore., Bowman took her first yoga class at the community center pool while in high school.

“I was definitely the youngest person in the class,” Bowman said. “The class was taught on the concrete pool deck, and all these older people were doing headstands on the concrete. I figured that if they

could do it, I could do it for sure. I quickly realized it was a lot harder than it looked.”

She initially started off attending Portland State University and later transferred to Oregon State University, where she continued to take yoga classes. It was also while she was at OSU that she met her husband.

During her time at OSU, Bowman became a buyer for a clothing store.

“It really took me off in another direction,” Bowman said.

“It was really nice because I was a broke college student.”

When Bowman came to McMinnville, she opened and ran a clothing store for 15 years. But in 2003, she sold the store. “[After selling my store], I went back home and had another baby,” Bowman said. “After that, I started to pursue my yoga teaching license, and I’ve been a teacher since 2008.”

Bowman lives in McMinnville with her husband and three daughters.

“I feel that not all types of sports are good for everybody, but yoga is truly one of them that can be good for anybody,” Bowman said. “It can really change your life and that’s what I love to see and be a part of.”

Students assist low-income i Laying the HABITAT FOR HUMANITY foundation for taacoma affordable housing Sarah Mason/Features editor

Alternative Spring Break participants traveled to Tacoma, Wash., to help Habitat for Humanity lay the foundations for four homes that will be a part of “The Woods” housing community.

“P

articipating in Alternative Spring Break provides an opportunity to use down time to help the community,” freshman James Harger said in an email.

Each morning at 8:45 a.m., the participants of the Affordable Housing service-learning program began their work day. The ASB worked alongside AmeriCorps members, Habitat for Humanity full-time volunteers and future Habitat for Humanity house residents to build affordable housing for families.

The group worked on laying the foundation for four houses. The houses will be a part of “The Woods” housing community, which will consist of 15 houses. The housing development will be complete in the next three to five years and will be home to low-income families.

One house in this community will be one of the largest homes in history for Habitat for Humanity. The home will be big enough for 12 family members to live comfortably.

“Habitat for Humanity is such a great organization,” freshman Julia Nguyen said in an email. “They don’t just build houses, they build homes. They give children a place to grow, adults a place to call their own and families a place to be together.”

Before moving into a Habitat for Humanity home, families are required to complete 500 “sweat equity hours.” Homeowners dedicate hours of labor to build their own homes and the homes of their neighbors. “Sweat equity” reduces the costs of paid labor needed to build a home.

During the service- learning program, ASB participants had the opportunity to meet and work with families completing their “sweat equity” hours.

“Seeing them work so hard really connected what we were doing to why we were doing it,” freshman Breanna Moen said Photo courtesy of Kit Crane in an email.

Freshman James Harger prepares the soil to In addition to begin laying down the foundation for a home.

working alongside future residents, Habitat for Humanity recipients donated meals to the group as a token of their appreciation.

“I think the best lunch came from a house recipient and mother of 10 children,” freshman Monica Molina said in an email. “She cooked us traditional Moldavian food, which was delicious and everyone was grateful for.”

Kit Crane, AmeriCorps mentoring coordinator, noticed her peers making connections between concepts, ideas and trends learned in the classroom with the social issues the group encountered during the service-learning program. ASB participants were exposed to lowincome families and encouraged to rethink stereotypes of homeless people by understanding what affordable housing actually offers.

The group learned that affordable housing means a lot of different things. For example, affordable housing means families do not have to fear eviction, they have a better commute to work, more time to study for school and better access to college, a safe community and hygienic living conditions.

As a leader, sophomore Vesta Namiranian enjoyed watching ASB participants reflect on their service-learning experiences and grow as conscientious citizens.

“The truth is, service is good for the soul,” said Andy Frei, area director of Residence Life, in an email. “People are meant to connect to and engage with the world. When we put in the time to be responsible stewards of our Earth and consider the needs of others, it puts our own place in this world into perspective.”

Visiting professor celebrates memories in his book Kiera Downs Copy editor A Lewis and Clark College professor gave a talk about his new book in Nicholson Library on April 11.

Kim Stafford’s new book is titled “100 Tricks Every Boy Can Do: How My Brother Disappeared.” In his book, he reflects on memories of his

younger brother who he lost to suicide.

Stafford presented a short film titled “Understory.” In the film he gave a brief narration of his brother’s life and path to suicide.

His book is a collection of 88 memories of his brother.

However, only one defines the moment Stafford realized he needed to write this book.

When Stafford’s son was 10 years old, he joked to his dad about pulling the tablecloth from under the dishes at a family gathering. This brought Stafford back to a time where his brother was the same age.

His brother had bought a pamphlet of tricks and flipped to the very back. The hardest trick was pulling a

tablecloth from under a wine glass.

After their parents had gone out, Stafford’s brother put their mother’s most expensive crystal wine glass on the table and yanked. The wine glass shattered.

As children, they developed a nightly bedtime “blessing poem.” They would say “Good night, God bless

you, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.” Even when they were apart, they would say it and listen, as if to hear the other’s poem in the wind.

Stafford has all of his students at Lewis and Clark College do an assignment he calls “so what?” In this assignment, the students must pick a memory and ask themselves why they remember it.

He says that every memory contains a fundamental meaning. He asks his students to try to find this meaning with at least one memory.

Stafford said if you don’t talk about the departed, you don’t have the opportunity to write books like his.

Improv duo entertains crowd with its chemistry, charm Carrie Skuzeski Culture editor Hands raised high and shouting “five, four, three, two one!” a crowd of Wildcats helped kick off a bundle of scenes for a duo of comedians from the Mission Improvables on April 12 in Ice Auditorium.

The comedians, Patrick McIntyre and Bryce Wissel, performed an alcohol awareness program called “A Shot of Reality” the next night on April 13. The Mission Improvables are an improv comedy group that tours throughout the United States.

After a brief preview by senior Evan O’Kelly, the Linfield Activities Board vice president of programming, McIntyre and Wissel stormed onto stage to Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop,” complemented by booty-shaking and hip thrusts.

The comedians, true to their company’s name, had Linfield students roaring

with hilarious, and often scandalous, acts of improvisation.

“I like how they really utilized the audience, and they got all of their ideas from us,” sophomore Lexi Heredia said.

McIntyre and Wissel asked the audience to shout out words for ideas of what to say or act out throughout the entire show.

The first scene, as one spectator suggested, took place in a video rental store.

McIntyre and Wissel were able to enliven the simple location by using audience shout outs and feeding off of one another.

Two students were pulled on stage for the next scene set in a McDonalds in Afghanistan. McIntyre and Wissel asked the volunteers to switch cell phones and find whichever text messages they wanted. The comedians randomly broke the scene to read the text messages and work them into their jokes.

A few scenes were crafted

so that McIntyre was forced to decode the scene he was performing. McIntyre was supposed to guess what ridiculous activity, fabricated by the audience, in which he was engaging in. Wissel allowed himself five minutes to demonstrate the outlandish activity using nonsense words and gestures, while McIntyre improvised along.

McIntyre cut the scene when he identified the activity in which he was involved.

There were three sessions of such an act, each with a different activity. One of these activities, that McIntyre accurately guessed, was playing ultimate Frisbee. But instead of a Frisbee, the twosome played with an imaginary unicorn. And rather than on a field, they were playing in hell.

“It was really impressive the fact that they could communicate completely with gibberish and motions,” sophomore Jessica Newton said.

Needless to say, random-

and Justin MacDonald, and drummer Chris Lucier.

After years of recording music and playing gigs, Eclectic Approach got its big break when it won the second season of OurStage. com’s musical competition, winning the chance to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live last October.

Even so, the band is no stranger to Linfield’s campus, having performed at a Pro Cat Cab in February 2012.

“This performance had more people and energy than last time we were here. Linfield is one of the more upbeat and fun schools we’ve performed at, Hadeed said.

“A lot of times it’s tough for people to dance without alcohol. It’s cool that students don’t have that problem here.”

Hadeed described Eclectic Approach’s musical style as a mix of rock, pop and dance with a little bit of hiphop.

“We’ve all been influenced by so many different people, like the Red Hot

Chili Peppers, Jimmy Hendrix and various country artists,” Hadeed said.

Throughout the performance, the band alternated between playing covers, such as Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion,” Dr. Dre’s “No Diggity” and Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters,” with its own songs, including its hit track “Cool.”

Another known favorite for the crowd was the band’s more humorous song, titled “Boobies.” The audience clapped along to the lyrics, “Boobies make the world go round.”

Other ways the band kept the audience engaged was by creating impromptu songs based on ideas that the crowd shouted out.

One song was about bacon-flavored condoms and another about jelly beans and hookers.

“That was very inappropriate of you guys to request,” Hadeed said, laughing.

Something else the band likes to do is have students come on stage for a jam session.

Seniors Evan O’Kelly and Jenny Morgan took the stage. O’Kelly played the electric guitar, while Morgan brought up her saxophone.

Hadeed shared with the crowd that it had been a while since the band played for an audience, as it’s been busy recording new EPs. Some EPs it played throughout the night, included “Hole in Your Heart,” “When She’s Gone,” “Midnight,” “Out of Control” and “All That It’s Missing.”

All of the new songs were well-received by the crowd who continued to dance, cheer and clap along to the music.

“We want people to have fun and dance, let loose and enjoy the moment. It’s hard to let loose so when people do that’s what we want to achieve,” Hadeed said.

Not even a couple sound check issues could dampen this band’s enthusiasm and ability to pump up a crowd during the April 11 Pro Cat Cab in the Fred Meyer Lounge.

Seattle-based band, Eclectic Approach, won over the crowd of about 60 students within minutes, inspiring people to get on their feet and dance in front of the stage area.

The band’s positive, high energy radiated throughout the performance with various band members jumping around, getting down and even playing while standing on top of an amplifier.

“So far of what I’ve heard, I like it. They are very lively,” senior Kira Weaver said. “Compared to other Cat Cabs, I’d say this year has been better. And this band fits in with other Cat Cabs we’ve had this year.”

Artist explores life with ceramics Carrie Skuzeski Culture editor A New York artist showcased ceramic pieces in her exhibit “Blonde Ambition” that will run in the Linfield Gallery until May 11.

Roxanne Jackson also delivered an artist talk April 10 in the Linfield Gallery to discuss the symbolism behind her various pieces.

Jackson examines death, transformation and the course of decay and destruction in relation to humans The majority of all of Jackson’s work was ceramic, although some were made using other materials, such as fiber, wire or papier-mâché.

Many of her pieces flaunted unexpected items.

She created two hollow

ceramic swans: one black and one white. The white swan was filled with a live plant, while the black harbored several lit candles.

“I think the swans are really gorgeous,” sophomore Maya Luque said.

“And I love that they can be lit.”

Three of Jackson’s sculptures featured synthetic wigs. But where one would expect to see a face underneath the wigs, she added inventive alternations. One had metallic and colorful protrusions that resembled crystals.

Another wig sat upon a long stick that reached more than three feet each direction. The stick was covered in a papier-mâché drapery with trickles of bright colors everywhere.

Patches of newspaper

were visible beneath the color, but intentionally so because Jackson wanted to show the materials she used.

Jackson said that the symbolism behind the wig sculptures do not necessarily pertain to the wigs.

“I think it’s more the distortion of the figure, kind of relating to the inner body.

Perhaps the viewer might think that I am representing the inner body and just the depth of a person, or the psyche,” she said.

Jackson said that many of the outside elements she added to the sculptures were based on natural forms, such as stalactites, crystals or other geometric forms found in nature.

“In my mind I’m kind of referencing this time that has to do with geology,”

Jackson said. “Its so significant in comparison to human life. So, I’m hoping that it implies another sense of depth, or something that is invisible.”

Jackson said it took about two years to complete all of the pieces in the exhibit. And creating the non-ceramic elements were much more time-consuming.

“For me, working with ceramic is fairly quick because it is so malleable.

And, I have worked with it for a long time,” Jackson said. “I work with the clay to the point that I see my idea happening in the clay.

And then that way, I can kind of respond to spontaneous ideas.”

York in Oswego, New York.

aim to convert others to their religion.

When anthropologists study a culture, they engage in participant fieldwork. They partake in many of the activities and behaviors that are customary to that group. It is often a challenge to remain objective in doing so, especially when participating in religious activities.

“With religion, there is not only not barriers,” Crane said, about working within a religious society, “There is the opposite of barriers. There is a desire to get people to join.”

Crane said that she frequently found herself in awkward situations when she studied the Buddhist culture.

She said that she had spoken to members of the group to establish that she was not a Buddhist. However, members of the culture interpreted her presence at religious ceremonies as a desire to join their religion.

Crane said that she had personal motivations for studying the Buddhist culture. She knew she was not necessarily ready to convert, but thought that having an

open mind about the religion would help her to be a better researcher.

Yet, Crane did not realize her openness to learning about Buddhism would raise invitations to convert.

“Being ambiguous is also a relationship,” Crane said. “I don’t know why I thought it wouldn’t be.”

Crane and Wiebel request others to attend a panel at an anthropology meeting in 2007.

Many people were interested in Crane and Wiebel’s ideas, and were eager to create a book about them.

“It just took us forever to get it all together,” Crane said with a laugh.

The book contains testimonies from anthropologists who have experienced pressures to convert to a religion. One of the contributors worked with Mormon missionaries. He was so moved by the ceremonies he attended that he converted to the Mormon religion.

There has only been a small amount of research published about this topic.

Crane said that in the past 30 years there has been a push to study the relationship between anthropologists and their fieldwork. Anthropologists usually remain in the group they are studying for more than a year and are unavoidably influenced by that group.

Talking animals teach meaningful lessons Paige Jurgensen Staff writer George’s Orwell’s classic novel “Animal Farm” is a book about talking animals for grown-ups.

“Animal Farm” is one of those books that every student has to read in junior high school and for that reason, most people don’t like it, which is dumb because this novel is fantastic because 1.)

Communism is super fun for everyone involved and 2.) at one point, a pig puts on some trousers. What’s not to love?

For those of you who SparkNoted the novel

instead of actually reading it, “Animal Farm” is about Manor Farm, a small farm in the English countryside.

After hearing a rousing prophecy from a dying boar, the animals of Manor Farm decide to join together to overthrow their master, Mr. Jones.

The pigs, led by Napoleon and Snowball, whom the animals more or less decide are the smartest of them all, rally the animals together and chase out Jones under the rousing mantra “Four legs good, two legs bad.” The animals vow to never let themselves be corrupted like humans who

“Animal Farm” book cover frequently work hard and share everything with one another; a solid idea that so rarely results in good followthrough.

The animals take over Manor Farm, changing the

name of their home to Animal Farm, and everything is great- for a little bit. In their new, self-sustaining home, Napoleon and Snowball begin struggling for power, which is surprising because usually new governments run so well. Napoleon, with the help of some vicious attack dogs, chase Snowball out of Animal Farm and Napoleon takes complete control. He is able to do so because most of the animals are too stupid or afraid to do anything to hinder his power.

If you know anything about 20th century history, you can probably guess that

the fate of Animal Farm is less than pleasant.

A unique aspect of “Animal Farm” is that it is illustrated, with roughly one picture for each chapter, with black and white pictures to help clarify the story in the reader’s mind.

Shockingly, “Animal Farm,” as well as Orwell’s other famous novel “1984,” were both banned in the Eastern Bloc until 1989.

Orwell wrote the novel in 1945 and used the novel to illustrate his criticism of Stalinism in Russia. The plot of “Animal Farm” is approximately parallel to the events leading up to the Russian

Revolution of 1917, just with more ducks and horses. Jeffrey Meyers, the author of Orwell’s biography, wrote: “virtually every detail has political significance in this allegory.”

This novel is so important to read because many of us were born just after the fall of Communism in Europe.

In addition, several countries that the United States is often in conflict with are communist countries or have communistic ideals, including one country that is currently threatening to bomb us.

How to talk about STDs with partners Dear Bailey, “I have an STD, and I don’t know how to talk about it. Do I even need to let someone know before sleeping with them if I plan on using a condom?”

-Yes, you must talk to your partner. A conversation should take place before the two of you have sex and that includes anal and oral sex and even genital touching.

Put yourself in their shoes: would you want to know ahead of time if there was an absolute risk of contracting a STD? You would want to know in order to be aware, prepared and to make good decisions.

And, it doesn’t automatically mean that sex is not an option. Instead, extra care and attention from each of you will be needed to have safe and healthy sex.

Having an STD does not make you a bad person.

Knowing that you have one is a step in the right

direction. Many people are unaware if they have an STD because symptoms are not always present.

Statistics show that as many as one in four teenage girls have some type of STD. And no, that does not mean that girls and women are only at risk, or that boys and men don’t spread them or need to worry as well.

It is an uncomfortable subject to talk about and can be intimidating to discuss with someone you want to be sexually intimate with, but you can do it. Talking will be much easier and you will probably feel safer with someone that you have spent

some time with and have gotten to know, as opposed to someone you just met.

Be aware that social media makes it easier to share private information and that if you want to keep things private to tell that to whomever you share with.

Plan what you want to say and have the conversation privately when neither of you are distracted, tired, stressed or busy.

You can start out by saying something like, “I really like you, and I want to continue seeing you, but I would like to have a conversation with you about being safe before we become more intimate.” Then tell them what exactly it is that you have: “I want you to be aware that I have… because I care about you and I want you to be able to make informed decisions about us and our relationship.”

If you need to, do some research on the STD beforehand so you are prepared

to answer any questions.

Some STDs, like herpes, can be spread by simple skinto-skin contact and that not shaving the pubic area helps prevent (not always stop) the spread by providing a kind of barrier. You could write down or print what you find or bring a computer so you can look things up together while you talk.

Be prepared for their response to be positive, negative or uncertain. Reassure your love interest that you care about them and that you will understand any decision they make.

If you decide to say this you must actually be understanding of any decision. Put yourself in their shoes again if you struggle with this. If it is too difficult for you to discuss it, find a support group.

The more you talk about sex the easier it becomes.

Talented siblings ascend to stardom Vanessa So Staff writer As history shows, sibling bands can carry success. The Jackson 5, The Beach Boys and Kings of Leon are just some examples of successful sibling bands.

The Band Perry, a brothers-sister band, released its second studio album earlier this month, entitled, “Pioneer.”

The talented trio consists of lead vocalist, Kimberly Perry, along with younger brothers Reid and Neil Perry, who sing background vocals as well as play guitar and drums. Neil plays mandolin, accordion and drums, while Reid plays bass guitar.

The Perry siblings were all born in Mississippi and began singing at a young age. They later moved to Alabama and Tennessee.

The band is best known for its song, “If I Die Young,”

“Is Your Love Big Enough?” album cover which became a commercial hit. The song peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard’s Hot 100, hitting the top spot on the country music charts.

The song was written by Kimberly.

“Pioneer” further showcases Kimberly’s songwriting abilities, as well as her brothers’, who all co-wrote nine of the album’s 12 tracks.

The album explores topics, such as obsession, revenge, love, and freedom that allow Kimberly’s vocals to take control.

However, the album also contains ballads that are introspective, displaying the band’s vulnerability. “Mother Like Mine” was written by all three siblings, and the song reflects the love and joy of their mother. The album’s self-titled single, “Pioneer” is a standout track and ballad. The track represents the bravery, confidence and freedom that The Band Perry tackles while recording this album.

Other notable tracks include the singles, “Better Dig Two” and “DONE.” Kimberly’s strong-headed attitude and southern country sass are convincing to listeners as she sings the lyrics that give her confidence. Listeners feel more confident along with her, whether they can relate or not.

Though the album is contemporary country music, it has a little bit of everything.

Throw in a little bit of rock, pop and bluegrass, and you get “Pioneer.” The 12 tracks appeal to both female and male audiences alike.

The album is meant to be played at large venues, or big concerts, but the album’s mix of ballads adds some balance and nice change of pace for The Band Perry.

The Band Perry’s confidence in its vocals, lyrics and production of “Pioneer” is astounding, given how it is only the band’s second studio album.

Be warned country lovers, The Band Perry is here to stay.

You can soon catch The Band Perry’s, “Pioneer” on KSLC 90.3 FM. You can also listen online at www.linfield. edu/kslcfm or stream the station on iTunes.

Baseball: Wildcats redeem Wildcat Sports Schedule themselves against La Verne << Continued from page 16 ing all six Linfield runs and driving in four RBI. Lindell added two stolen bases and Fisher added one, as well.

“It’s always fun to get the opportunity to play in California and in nice weather, so I just went up to the plate and had fun at each bat,” Lindell said.

Pomona-Pitzer, ranked No. 22 in the country entering the weekend, committed a staggering 14 errors during the April 11 doubleheader (it committed two in the game on Friday).

Game one, a 15-4 Linfield victory, was highlighted by a seven-run fourth inning where Linfield sent 12 men to the plate.

Game two ended 9-3 in Linfield’s favor, highlighted by an eight-run second inning.

“That was…the most errors I had seen in a day.

Their infield played really fast and had some strange hops…luckily for us, we caught a lot of breaks,” Lindell said.

The breaks were accompanied by the consistent hitting. The second inning featured two errors from

the Sagehens, seven Wildcat hits and two home runs—a three-run bomb by senior Clayton Truex and a two-run shot from Lindell.

Senior catcher K y l e Chamberlain crushed his first h o m e Thomassen run of the season in the sixth inning to round out the Linfield scoring.

All-American second baseman senior Tim Wilson went 5-10 during the doubleheader with five runs scored, two RBI and four stolen bases. Lindell went 5-11 with the home run, two doubles, four runs scored and five RBI, while Fisher went 4-9 with two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base.

Sophomore Aaron Thomassen (8-0, 1.08) and junior Zach Brandon (5-2, 2.98) started the doubleheader games.

Thomassen struck out six in five innings of work, giving up one unearned run.

Brandon threw seven innings, giving up three

runs on eight hits and a walk.

On April 14, the ‘Cats destroyed La Verne 13-1.

Freshman Cody Erraut made his first career start and got the v i c t o r y, going five innings and givWilson ing up just one hit.

Juniors Justin Huckins and Garett Speyer both threw two innings out of the bullpen to complete the game.

The ‘Cats racked up 20 hits on the day. Some standouts included Wilson and Fisher, who both went 4-6, and junior Nate McClellan, who went 3-5 and drove in three runs.

Linfield returns to conference play April 20 and 21 with the most important series of the season.

George Fox University (24-9, 17-4 NWC) will travel to Roy Helser Field for a three-game series. George Fox trails Linfield (26-5, 15-3) by one game in the NWC loss column.

Linfield baseball sees tough match up for home series You may not be aware, but the last home baseball series of the year will be a titanic collegiate clash this weekend.

There are two teams in the Northwest Conference this year that have been a step above the entire league, and each Linfield student has the chance to see them April 20 and 21 at Roy Helser field.

In my honest opinion, each Linfield student should attend. After all, how can one resist an epic collegiate clash?

One of the featured teams is Linfield. With a record of 15-3 in the NWC and 26-5 overall, Linfield is ranked No. 2 in the country.

The other team is George

Sports Commentary

Tyler Bradley Sports columnist Fox. With a record of 17-4 in the NWC and 24-9 overall, George Fox is ranked No. 17 in the country.

“We are all excited for the Fox series…we have been on the road…so being home will be nice,” junior outfielder Kramer Lindell said.

The seismic movements

from the series at Roy Helser field will be felt in the NWC standings. I’m not kidding, the standings might actually crumble to pieces. Roy Helser field will be shaking with intensity.

Needless to say, the stakes are high for these games.

“We want to win the series. If we do this and continue playing well afterward, we can put ourselves in a good position to win the league,” said Linfield starting pitcher, sophomore Chris Haddeland.

Haddeland, sophomore Aaron Thomassen and junior Zach Brandon have been one of the best starting pitching trios in the country this year. With ERA’s of

1.14, 1.08 and 2.98 respectively, Fox’s offense is in for a test of its own.

Linfield and George Fox’s pitching staffs need to be careful, however.

These two offenses are the best in the conference.

Linfield All-American senior Tim Wilson is hitting .444, Lindell is hitting .440 and junior Nick Fisher is hitting .421.

There is only one player in the NWC that has a higher batting average than all three of them, and his name is Josh Rapacz. As you might guess, he plays for George Fox, and his .500 batting average is the fifth best in the country.

Linfield junior Jake Wylie is tied for second

in the NWC in home runs with five. One of the other players with five home runs plays for George Fox. In fact, George Fox and Linfield rank 1-2 in home runs in the NWC. They also rank 1-2 in OPS, stolen bases and runs scored.

“Our bats have come alive…if we keep swinging it like we can, there is no one that can beat us,” Lindell said.

On the pitching side, the teams rank 1-2 in ERA and home runs allowed, but Linfield has the advantage on the pitching side (2.35 ERA compared to Fox’s 3.39 ERA), and this may be a key factor in deciding who wins the series.

Both teams have shown

they can hit, so the ‘Cats pitching and defense will have to continue the stellar work they have done all year.

“I am excited, it’s always fun to test yourself against a really good team…a prolific offense like George Fox,” Haddeland said.

The stage is set and the players will be tested.

Hopefully, the standings and Roy Helser field will be able to handle the intensity that this three-game series promises to supply.

You don’t want to miss it. Titanic collegiate clashes don’t happen often.

Men’s tennis fails to gain win in final conference match Tyler Bradley Sports columnist The Linfield men’s tennis team ended its conference season in familiar fashion, losing 7-2 to Willamette on April 12.

Sophomore Micah Roos and freshman Tim Hawkins collected a doubles victory for the ‘Cats with a score of 8-5. This was the third victory of the year for Roos and Hawkins as a duo.

“Tim and I both do a good job of motivating each other and not letting the other person get down,” Roos said.

In singles play, the Willamette No.’s 1-5 dispatched their Linfield adversaries with ease. Linfield No. 6 sophomore Lukas Kleinman did score a 3-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-7) victory to help the ‘Cats avoid a clean singles sweep.

When asked about his

response after dropping the first set, Kleinman said, “This was the first time I have ever lost the first set and come back to win so I had to battle through the thoughts of another comeback cut short.”

“Honestly, I struggled… the entire match, I’d beat him earlier this year so I knew I could beat him…

When it came down to the tiebreak, my serve was unstoppable,” he added.

With the loss, the team’s record fell to 0-12 for the year.

The only remaining game on the schedule is against Cal Tech on April 28 in Pasadena, Calif.

With his thoughts on next season, Kleinman said, “We know that nothing is going to come easy. Next season starts April 29, the day after our last match.”

Linfield will lose its No. 1, senior Zach Lyons, to

graduation, and sophomore Joel Trousdale will not play next year as he goes to Spain to study abroad. Everyone else on the roster, barring injuries or transfers, should return next season.

“We all had quality wins this season and instead of focusing on our overall record, we should build off what we did accomplish. We all know we have potential,” Roos said.

Kleinman echoed similar sentiments.

“The effort has been there all year…We have a lot of high character guys who have the skill set to be very solid players in this conference, and we definitely have the coaching, he said.

“There will be no excuses for not improving next year.”

<< Continued from page 16 Even if the scoreboard didn’t reflect it, our team improved immensely since the beginning of the season.”

Due to injuries, the Wildcats only had 13 players, one more than the requirement for play.

“Pacific had around eight or nine substitutes so if someone needed a break, especially in the midfield, they can catch their breath, observe the match and chat with the coach about tips for improvement, Cole said.

“It absolutely affected the game’s outcome because they all had this opportunity.”

Low numbers were nothing new for the team,

which dealt with many injured players unable to participate during the season.

“It was really frustrating,” f re s h m a n and reguDuarte lar goalie Erika Phillipo said. Phillipo was out for most of the season due to injury.

“I love the sport so it was really hard watching from the sidelines,” Phillipo said.

Sophomore Shelby Duarte scored the three Linfield goals for the relatively young team.

“We had a couple of members who had never even touched a stick before this season, Phillipo said.

“I think we will see a lot of returners next year, which will greatly help the next season picking up where we left Phillipo off this past season.”

The lacrosse players overcame their challenges in order to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

“Our goals for the season were to lay down the framework for a strong team in the years to come,” Cole said. “We absolutely achieved this.”

Wildcats swing in final regular season win Ivanna Tucker Sports editor

The women’s tennis team ended its last regular season tournament with a home victory. Linfield finished with an 8-1 win against Willamette on April 12 at the Linfield Tennis Center.

Prior to the match, the sole senior, Lexi Thomas, was honored.

The Wildcats won all but one of the singles matches.

Junior Caroline Brigham took down the Bearcats’ Denise Poltavski in both sets, 6-3, 6-2. She was the winner of both number one matches.

Freshman Kwynn Ecton beat the Bearcats’ Stephanie Matsuura winning the sets 6-3, 6-2.

Sophomore Kelly Watanabe defeated Mandy Carlson, 6-1, 6-1.

Sophomore Gretchen Jernstedt won against Lizzie Kubitz, leaving her scoreless in the first set 6-0 and win-

ning the second set 6-2.

Sophomore Kaila Nip won her match by default due to an injury to an opposing team’s player.

In doubles, the Wildcats swept the competition.

Brigham and Ecton both won their second victories in the number one match of the night, beating the Bearcats’ Sabrina Gutierrez and Denise Poltavski.

Jernstedt and Thomas had a tight match against the Bearcats, having to rally to tie the game and then gained a win with a final point, 9-8.

Nip and Watanabe also had a win, 8-1.

The Wildcats record improved from 6-5, 7-9 to 7-5, 8-9. They stand in fifth for the conference.

The Wildcats will next compete at the Northwest Conference Tournament on April 20.

The Wildcats won the match 8-1 against the Bearcats.

Senior inspires young tennis team to improve during season Chris Haddeland Senior reporter With one more match to go, the Linfield men’s tennis team has struggled through the season, posting a 0-12 record. This record can be attributed to a young team, with only two seniors, including Zach Lyons.

Lyons has played for four years at Linfield College and has been with the team through thick and thin. His freshman year, the team placed second in conference with an overall record of 13-7.

Lyons “I had always played a little tennis off and on when I was a kid, but I got serious about it when I started high school,” Lyons said.

“It was a good choice for

me because I was too small to play football, and I was tired of all the running in soccer. So, I figured hitting the crap out of some tennis balls would be fun.”

Each successive year the team has performed worse, dropping to a 6-8 record in 2011, 2-17 record in 2012 and now posting a 0-12 record.

Despite the losing trend, Lyons has done well, earning all league honorable mentions as a junior.

“My favorite memory was probably last year during our fall tournament where my doubles partner

and I were playing a tough team, tensions were pretty high, but we were able to beat them,” Lyons said.

“For the very last point, I hit one of our opponents in the face to end the match. It was purely accidental, but it was an epic way to end the match.”

Now as a senior, Lyons has a different role. As the team’s number one singles player for the majority of the matches and a member of the number one doubles duo, Lyons is forced to play the top competition in the conference, while leading by example for the young

team. Senior Kadin Hashimoto also stands as a role model for the young team, but only has one year of experience.

“It’s different, though, that it’s just Kadin and I because I was on the team when there were five seniors who all started at the same time and graduated together,” Lyons said.

“Since I’m the only one who has been on the team for all four years, I don’t get to experience that.”

Lyons currently posts a 1-10 singles record and a 5-7 doubles record.

Lyons looks to improve

on his season marks April 28, while the team looks for its first win of the season in Pasadena, Calf., against Cal Tech.

This will be the last match for the senior and the last match of the year for the Wildcats’ tennis team.

The competition starts at 1 p.m.

“Some of my best friends have come from this team,” Lyons said. “You learn a lot of things in team sports, and I think I learned many lessons that can be applied on and off the court.”
