Dining changes coming to Linfield fall 2013 Samantha Sigler News editor Linfield facilities is planning more changes for Dillin Hall, Jazzman’s and Catty Shack for fall 2013.

Changes include replacing Jazzman’s with a Starbucks, altering the inside of Dillin Hall and making changes to the meal plans.

The changes are taking place after years of regional and national focus groups and surveys were

conducted to discover what students wanted around campus.

“The Starbucks will be a real, licensed Starbucks,” said Bill Masullo, director of dining services. “We will still have as many, if not more, students working there.”

On June 3, 2013, the inside of Dillin Hall will be completely gutted out to make way for new equipment and format.

There will be additional stations for students to choose from,

such as a vegan and vegetarian area, dietary concerns area and an international food station.

The salad bar will also double in size, and there will be a day and night dining area that includes a deli, bakery, espresso beverages, omelets, salads and grab-and-go items.

“There will be more opportunities to keep things fresh,” Masullo said. “It will bring out more of that restaurant feel.”

The seating area will also be

changing next year.

Facilities plans to expand and open up the seating area to make Dillin Hall be a place where anyone can come in and relax without feeling like they have to buy something, said Allison Horn, director of facilities and auxiliary services.

Linfield Chaplain David Massey was appointed board president of one of the leading ecumenical agencies in the country, the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO), on April 10.

Massey will serve as president for a year. During his term, he will do a lot of public representation of the agency, help with grants, and guide and plan different committee meetings, he said.

“It’s an exciting challenge to become more informed about ways we can better our communities. I will be at the front line of doing that at the state level, being the bridge builder for common outlets to serve and enhance life,” Massey said.

EMO is a “statewide association of Christian denominations, including Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox bodies congregations, ecumenical organizations and interfaith partners working together to improve the lives of Oregonians,” according to its website.

The agency strives to come together for a common purpose to heal. There are EMO agencies all across the country, but not all are statewide like Oregon. This EMO is broader based. It’s one of few that offer direct services, on the ground ministries, Massey said.

“This is partly what makes us unique. We are known to put faith to action, to cross theological boundaries,” he said.

EMO is organized around four committees: Public Witness Peacemaking, which focuses on legislative matters; Theological Dialogue, which focuses on generating dialogue between faiths; Community Ministries; and Environmental Ministries.

Massey first became involved with EMO as a member about 10 years ago. He chaired the Theological Dialogue committee for about five >> Please see Massey page 4

Donation requests annoy students, parents We all know that Linfield is an expensive school. Some people are paying for college themselves, while other people’s parents are footing the bill.

Paying for college can be challenging, and everyone definitely doesn’t want to be asked to give more money.

At a certain point, our wallets will run dry if we continue to be asked to donate even a little more.

This is especially true for parents.

They should not be asked to donate more money because they are already paying a lot of money for their child’s tuition.

So when Linfield representatives begin calling parents, it is understandable that students are expressing their annoyance.

One student said his parents were extremely upset when they were asked to donate money to Linfield only a few days after they sent in the tuition check.

The student continues to be annoyed because his parents have been called several times since.

We understand that Linfield thrives on and requires donations.

However, recent alumni, current students and their parents aren’t

the appropriate people to ask.

It often irritates these individuals, which will ultimately lead them to never donate money even when they are older and have the means to do so.

We think that only alum who have been graduated for at least four years or more should be contacted for donations.

They are most likely to be reminiscent of their college years and have the money to actually donate. A recent college graduate definitely doesn’t have the money to donate to Linfield.

They typically are

paying off student debt and trying to start careers so they can’t afford to donate the little money they do make.

In addition, there should be clearer guidelines on how to get off the call list.

An individual must specifically say “I want off the call list.”

Many parents and alumni are unaware of how to get off the call list, so perhaps if the person calling was clearer, people would be less annoyed by the caller asking for money.

CRAFTS

Creativity creates opportunity for stress relief Remember when you were a little kid and the most stressful things in your life were coloring inside the lines and cleaning up any messes you made.

Being college students, we take on a lot more stress, but reverting back to those childhood tasks might be what relieves the stressful times coming up.

With the semester taking a turn toward a stressful dead end, there are some easy ways to back out without losing your head.

Students are beginning to stress about projects, papers and tests, but taking 15 minutes to let loose your creativity, could help you do better to think and

Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief stay relaxed during these stressful times.

The easiest and simplest way to release your creativity is to simply take a pen, pencil or whatever, and draw.

It doesn’t matter what you draw, or even if it’s good; all that matters is you are not thinking about whatever you were last working on for 15 minutes

or so.

When time is short, or when your drawing skills really bother you, grab a coloring book from Dollar Tree, and color one picture.

Only one!

This allows you a creative outlet that requires little effort, without taking away too much time from all those important studies that you were worried about in the first place.

While letting your creativity flow during stressful school situations is useful now, it is not the only time you can use arts and crafts to unwind.

Stress is a part of our daily lives.

Whether it is caused by school, work, friends or family, crafting can give

you time to think.

There are plenty of situations that may lead to anger and stress.

Angry crafting is one of the quickest ways to get control of emotions and can often result in some interesting artwork.

Before anyone says that this is only for the ladies, guys can be just as crafty as any woman.

Maybe it won’t be on paper or in a coloring book, but get hands on and make something.

Perhaps someone likes to whittle. Or maybe someone really enjoys photography. Go ahead and make something new that you could be proud of.

Any type of creative outlet will work perfectly!

It doesn’t even have to be practical, and you can throw it away later if you don’t like it.

While classes, such as biology, history and calculus can numb the brain after a while, crafting can refresh your thoughts and ideas, and might even get you a better grade due to new ideas.

Once you get the creative juices going, who knows how original your ideas may be.

Your professors would probably appreciate it.

Now I can’t say this will be particularly helpful for art majors, but maybe some creative writing will work for you.

EDUCATION

GPA does not determine your worth as a student I feel that students, myself included, often get way too caught up in a small detail of the learning process: the dreaded grade point average (GPA).

While it is definitely important to work hard and strive for the best possible grade, it isn’t worth panicking about.

It is something that has taken me a long time to realize and accept. In high school, a GPA was incredibly important to getting scholarships and getting into college.

But now that we’re in college, it’s really about passing our classes and

Kelsey Sutton Managing editor learning.

I’ve often stressed myself out about my cumulative GPA, thinking that it determines what kind of student I am or how smart I am.

This is simply not true for anyone.

Many professors have

told me that employers hardly ever, if at all, look at an applicant’s grades or transcripts.

It’s about the experience and the knowledge you have, which can come in many forms aside from a letter grade.

Especially at a college like Linfield, the goal is to learn and expand your personal horizons.

Unless you’re applying for graduate school, which in that case GPA’s may be a large factor, try to remember this.

It is hard to get a 4.0, or even a 3.5, in college. I still haven’t quite figured out

why it’s so difficult, especially when it feels like I’m doing really well in a class, but it’s something I’ve had to come to terms with.

And I think we all should.

It doesn’t matter what kind of student you are.

GPA’s do not determine your worth as a student or thinker.

It is simply a combination of letter grades that are generated by numbers.

Your GPA doesn’t show how much you loved a class or how much hard work you put into a project.

And it definitely doesn’t take into account life’s

unpredictable events.

Some people are naturally good at taking tests and memorizing small details and concepts.

I happen to not be good at that, and sometimes it shows in my grades.

However, I am an active participant in all my classes, and I still gain a lot of insight and knowledge from each course. I am a hard worker, and often that is what matters.

You could get constant As on everything, but leave college without growing as a human being.

So next time you are drowning in homework,

trying to prioritize your classes and beginning to have a meltdown, try to relax.

Continue to work hard, but remember that no one in the real world cares if you got a C+ on that test or an A. They just care if you could actually pass the class.

In the end, it’s really the degree you earn that matters.

And earning a degree entails much, much more than acing every exam.

POP CULTURE

Psy generates confusion, not pop music hit

Just when we thought Psy’s reign over YouTube and pop culture would end, he released his second hit video “Gentlemen.”

This video is being called the sequel to “Gangnam Style” and features a brand new dance routine.

I was secretly hoping that he would become a one hit wonder and then pony dance off the music scene, but I guess my wish was not granted.

I can easily imagine why his new video got more than one million views in the first five days after it was uploaded. People were curious.

Is it possible for him to create another song of equal annoying-ness? Well ladies and gentlemen, Psy just proved it is!

Let’s start with the music itself. The song sounds exactly the same. It has the same beat, the same highly synthesized melody and follows the same structured formula.

I mean if you are into that kind of music, you can pay $1.29 on iTunes. Lets be honest, Psy probably payed $1.29 million to get that ridiculous video produced.

Speaking of the video, it felt like my eyes were being assaulted by multiple squirrels on steroids.

There was too much going on at once. It became almost impossible for the viewer to even enter this “magical and fantastic” world that Psy was trying to create.

I understand the motive to create this space where people can just party and go crazy, but is there such a thing as going too hard?

Also, his videos just don’t make sense to me.

Kate Straube Photo editor Half the time, I sit there wondering “what is going on?”

“Why are you dancing like that?”

“What is the point of all this nonsense?”

Eventually I just give up, and then feel the guilt of being one of the millions of views on YouTube that have made this video a worldwide sensation.

It is interesting to note though that Psy’s songs are not as popular in other countries.

Take South Korea for example.

You may find it hard to believe, but Psy’s video was banned by a South Korean TV Network for a “traffic cone violation.”

(Within the first minute of the video, Psy kicks over a traffic cone.)

Maybe the fact that we like this video reflects on us as a country. We thrive on drama and the extreme.

Psy’s videos do just that.

They provide us with a fake world where we can get lost and input our own fantasy.

Despite how annoying his videos may be, they have certain elements that Americans eat up like McDonald’s cheese burgers.

Well done, Psy, well done.

CAMPUS LIFE

Fingerprint readers would make campus safer It’s 3 a.m., pouring down rain, and you don’t have your swipe card to get inside your residence hall.

You can either: A) obnoxiously call and wake up your roommate. B) hope that someone doing a walk of shame will pass by soon.

Or, C) call College Public Safety to come let you in.

The problem is all of these options have less than ideal consequences. CPS does a great job responding to people when they are locked out of their dorms.

But I feel guilty distracting officers from their safetyrelated responsibilities to request help for getting into my building.

Security is a top priority for students, and it would be more beneficial for CPS, students and other mem-

Sarah Mason Features editor bers on campus if CPS were not responsible for helping us into the building.

I have a solution to this problem that will hopefully help all of the forgetful students out there who cannot keep track of their swipe card and find themselves weighing out the options above on a daily basis. This solution is a fingerprint reader.

It makes perfect sense to implement an electronic

fingerprint scanning device considering the benefits.

Students have to keep track of a lot. Not having to worry about a swipe card would be one less painful thing to keep track of. It would be more convenient for students because they would not have to fiddle around with their half-broken duct taped swipe cards, and CPS would not have to take time out of its schedules to come let students into their buildings.

Students are already paying enough for tuition so how does it make sense that students have to pay a fee every time they lose their swipe card? A fingerprint reader would also cut down on the amount of plastic our school uses. This new device would benefit

the environment as well.

Fingerprint readers would also keep unwanted and unauthorized people from accessing buildings on campus. One of the features of the fingerprint reader is that it is programmed to allow certain people into buildings. Also, the device can be set to limit access to only residents after a certain hour.

This solution is more convenient and safer for CPS officers, students and other members on campus.

Not to mention, it would be so nice to not have to stand outside in the pouring down rain weighing out the best option to get into your building.

American marriage is a political institution Kiera Downs Copy editor

An assistant professor of political science from the University of Oregon discussed social issues surrounding marriage over time and her book April 15 in the Pioneer Reading Room.

Author of American Marriage: A Political Insti-

tution, Priscilla Yamin discussed the purpose and meaning of marriage for many different people.

Yamin talked about what marriage has meant during different periods of time and how it has changed, as well as its political purpose.

She defined political institutions as a state governed entity that sets norms and practices and marriage

as a right and something that is representative of adulthood.

During the reconstruction era, 1865-1880, marriage was a form of racial status for freed slaves, but they could not marry someone from a different race.

In the progressive era, 1886-1915, marriage was viewed as an obligation to preserve “native” Ameri-

other cultures; people are put into more and more conflict.

“Especially here in America, we are at war with others constantly,” Bowers said.

“There is a feeling of friends versus enemy.”

To stop this growing feeling of conflict in our society, Bowers said we must focus on the idea of cultural commons, a face-to-face interaction and sharing of information between the generations.

“These are activities like food preparation, oral narratives, games, ceremonies, and art forms that are not performed for a monetary gain,” Bowers said.

Cultural commons vary widely between different cultures of the world, but the preservation of these traditions is important in fostering a community. People who have more relationships with those around them tend to be more physically and mentally

healthy, Bowers claimed.

Our highly modernized lives are influenced by the vocabulary of a capitalist culture, and our educators are a part of the system that promotes these words and values in our society.

“Words that are harmful to the cultural commons, such as individualism, markets, progress, change, rational thought and self-determination undermine the relationships that come with fostering a community,” Bowers said. “People need to realize that we are not autonomous beings.”

Bowers believes that educators can begin to make a difference by encouraging students to seek out activities in the community that have little to no monetary involvement and become less dependent on their consumerist society.

student learning, development and civic responsibility through co-curricular and curricular service opportunities.

According to its website, the Community Engagement and Service Office has partnerships with more than 100 community-based organizations.

Linfield students participate in service projects locally and around the world. Students help in the McMinnville School District with tutoring and after-school programs.

Students have also been a part of Yamhill County’s 10-year Ending Homelessness Plan.

“I like serving the community. Knowing that I can help students succeed and possibly make a difference in their lives keeps me coming back,” sophomore Casey Thein said.

Alternative Spring Break trips provide students with opportunities to help communities in different parts of the country. This year, students traveled to Washington State and Colorado during Alternative Spring Break.

Study abroad programs are a key component to Linfield’s service goals.

This year, Linfield was ranked No. 25 in the nation for

cans.

In 1967, Mildred and Richard Loving were sentenced to one year in a Virginia prison because they were an interracial married couple who violated the state’s Racial Integrity Act of 1924.

The U.S. Supreme Court then ruled the decision unconstitutional and reversed the act. Chief Jus-

tice Earl Warren was quoted saying that “marriage is one of the “basic civil rights of man.””

Yamin said that politics define marriage and that marriage shapes politics.

“I thought it was interesting how she [Yamin] explained marriage through history and how the idea and concept of marriage has changed,” freshman

Maddie Bergman said.

Yamin thinks marriage is what brings us together and that it’s about love no matter the gender or race.

Interracial marriage was once illegal, and Yamin said she thinks gay marriage will follow the same path and one day will be legal and without stigma.

Visiting professor discusses cultural conflict in the world Olivia Marovich Staff writer

A visiting emeritus professor spoke on the challenges of conserving cultural traditions in a technology-based world April 21 as part of the Walter Powell Philosophy Lectures.

Professor Chet Bowers, who formerly worked for Portland State University, titled his lecture “Educational Reforms that Address the Ecology of War” even before he knew that Linfield’s PLACE Program had the “Legacies of War” theme.

“The ecology of war is brought about by three main reasons,” Bowers said. “Ecological crisis, computer automation and globalization.”

As the environment suffers from our impact, new technology makes it increasingly more difficult to find employment, and globalization threatens the traditions of

Linfield honored for community service Tyler Bradley Sports columnist Linfield College was recognized by the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the sixth consecutive year for leadership in civic engagement and service-learning March 4 in Washington, D.C. Nearly 900 students volunteered almost 50,000 hours of service last year.

The Community Engagement and Service Office helps students find ways to serve communities. According to its office goals, it promotes

participation in Study Abroad programs by the Institute of International Education. For students abroad, Linfield sponsors service projects for health care, outreach to children and housing.

The President’s Honor Roll was established in 2006, and it annually highlights the role colleges and universities play in solving community problems.

This year, the Honor Roll includes 3.1 million students who provided 118 million community service hours.

ASLC launches new student website Julian Adoff Multimedia editor The Associated Students of Linfield College will soft launch a student activities website, Collegiate Link from company Campus Labs, branded for Linfield as The Den. Dan Fergueson, director of college activities, and ASLC sought to find a program that they could use to increase club and organization participation.

“We have seen a trend over the last couple of years that club life hasn’t been as

healthy and vibrant as it once was,” Fergueson said.

The ASLC Cabinet sat in on a presentation of the software. It was amazed at the variety of features that the software will allow.

Fergueson reported that the program will allow club leaders to reach out to club members, reserve spaces, look at their budget and many other things.

The hope of ASLC is that this will be another location for students to hear about events and become an active part of the Linfield community.

Individual students will be able to use The Den to track their involvement on campus by being on rosters for clubs and organizations.

Being on a roster will allow a student to be in better communication with the leaders of the club.

Fergueson said he is looking forward to the potential for the program to be the catalyst for other departments to move online.

“The students are always at the front of technology.

When they buy into a system like this, and get it off

and running, it forces the other hand of other departments on campus to come along,” Fergueson said.

The Den is fully accessible now to students with a Catnet ID at linfield.collegiatelink.net.

Fergueson did place a disclaimer on the product.

He reported that the site is a formal college site, and there will be processes for clubs to become active on the site. They must also be sanctioned by the college to be on the site.

years, which also gave him a spot on the board. Last year, he was asked to be president elect.

However, Massey’s interest in exploring other religions started long before his time at EMO. It actually began when he was a student at Linfield.

“I became aware that my religious journey was not the only route people could travel,” Massey said. “Respecting other people’s religion led me to discover and appreciate what other religions bring to the world through their teachings. I didn’t have to abandon my own convictions. I could come alongside other traditions where we had common

values.”

Massey said that Linfield’s connection to EMO will offer opportunities for student internships. “ I would encourage students to take advanMassey tage of the opportunities we have on campus to learn about other traditions. Get engaged and change the world.”

War against sex trafficking comes to Linfield Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief Linfield is bringing the war against sex trafficking to the students. Through the cooperative efforts of the Chaplains Team and the PLACE Program, the film “Volviendo” will be aired at 7 p.m. April 23

with a discussion and question session after the film.

The film is the result of three filmmakers traveling to South America to make a fictional film about a sex slave, but developed into a documentary about the victims of the Latin American sex trafficking in the countries they

traveled through.

The event will host a discussion after the film starting at 8 p.m. with one of the producers, Phillip Abraham, and a survivor, Jes Richardson.

The discussion will lead into a Q-and-A session with Portland organizations, including Freedom’s Breath, Mending

the Soul, Door to Grace, and others starting at 8:30 p.m.

Artwork from other survivors will also be showcased in the hallway of Melrose Hall for guests to view.

“It’s not just a documentary on what’s happening,” Chaplain David Massey said.

“It also offers a solution. We’re

trying to address the issue, and often times, people want to do something but don’t know how to do it. So we’re bringing the organizations that can help here.”

This is a free event.

Students debate about use of U.S. drone strikes Kiera Downs Copy editor Four students from the political science 361 current debates/U.S. foreign policy class battled it out over drone strike issues April 17 in the Pioneer Reading Room.

Sophomore Rachel Axtman and senior Will McHenry were teamed up against junior Jake Baker and junior Jerry Young. Axtman and McHenry argued the affirmative and Baker and Young argued the negative of the effectiveness of drone strikes.

Before the debate, the audience was asked to think about its own feelings on the resolution of drone strikes and why it held its opinion.

Axtman began the debate. In her speech, she said “no one wants to see another war or death” and that “drones are keeping a terrorist attack with the magnitude of 9/11 from happening.”

Although she was arguing for drone strikes, Axtman also said “we [her and McHenry] are not claiming that drones are the only option.”

During the two-minute cross examination, Axtman and McHenry responded to a question by saying “it is easier to take them [the enemy] out with drones than to bring in special ops.”

Baker delivered the first negative constructive

Kiera Downs/Copy editor Juniors Jake Baker (left) and Jerry Young participate in the U.S. policy debate about drone strikes April 17 in the Pioneer Reading Room. All students who participated in the debate are in the political science current debates class. speech. Baker argued that “U.S. drone strikes create new war conflicts” and that “the vast majority of militants killed were low-level insurgents that were of no threat to the U.S.” He also said that “U.N. officials declared that the U.S. drone strikes were not good for Pakistani sovereignty” and that “our own government [the U.S.] killed Americans and U.S. soldiers who were mistaken for insurgents.”

Baker and Young responded to a question during the two-minute cross examination by saying that no long term research shows that drones hinder military operations.

McHenry delivered the second affirmative con-

structive. In his speech he said that drone strikes were of low cost, and they [drone strikes] “put no U.S. soldiers at risk.” He also said that drone strikes are the “most effective tool of the U.S military arsenal,” and that it is the “cheapest method of combating terrorism.”

In the cross examination, Axtman and McHenry said that drone strikes were not a cause for retaliation and used the Times Square bomber threat as an example.

The second negative constructive was delivered

by Young who argued that “drone strikes aided militant recruiting.” He also said that “the U.S. drone strikes violated international law

in Pakistan” because the strikes were inside Pakistan borders and without its consent. Young said that drone strikes were “disapproved by nations across the world, including France, Germany, Egypt, and Turkey” and that countries affiliated with the U.S. lose trust from Pakistan because of these strikes.

During the two-minute cross examination, Young and Baker said they think that a country can claim sovereignty over areas outside of its control, but are within its borders.

In the negative rebuttal, Baker and Young said that retaliation increases after a drone strike and that “we [the U.S.] can’t see the people we’re killing.” They also

said that one in four deaths by drones are civilians, most of whom are children.

Axtman and McHenry said in the affirmative rebuttal that “Yemen and Pakistan have consented to drones” and Afghanistan consented to drones in areas in which it has no control. They also said that extremists are joining militant groups because of the lack of education and economic alternatives, not just because of drone strikes.

At the end of the debate, the audience was again asked to reflect on its feelings of the resolution and if its opinion had changed and if it had, why.

Masullo hopes that with these changes there will be more opportunities for students to do things in Dillin Hall, such as participating in cooking classes, having their classes taught there and having more student events.

“It will be a place anyone can come in and hang out,” Masullo said. “We want to foster that sense of community.”

Catty Shack will also be different next year, as it will be mainly “sundry items,” Masullo said.

It will still have fresh produce and various items that Albertsons sells.

As far as meal plans go, there will be three options for students to choose from.

The plan A includes unlimited meals plus $125 declining balance, plan B will have 12 meals per week plus $330 declining balance and plan C will have 100 block meals per semester and $600 declining balance.

Freshmen will automatically be assigned to plan A to reassure parents and freshmen that they will have enough to eat their first semester in college.

All meals inside Dillin Hall will also be all you can eat, Horn said.

Because Linfield College is working alongside Sodexo for these changes, none of the money spent will be taken from tuition money, Masullo said.

“We’re very excited to have a project at this scale with a committed partner like Sodexo,” Horn said.

“We’re really excited.”

Trumpet duo impresses ’Cats with fast tunes Carrie Skuzeski Culture editor

A mix of Wildcats and community members gathered in a lowly lit Ice Auditorium until a soaring sound hushed their quiet chatter.

The powerful sound of John Harbaugh’s trumpet signaled the beginning of the show.

Joan Haaland Paddock, Linfield professor of music, and John Harbaugh, professor of trumpet at Central Washington University, combined talents during a faculty recital called “Duo Trumpets” on April 18 in Ice Auditorium.

“This is such a treat to collaborate with my friend, John,” Paddock said.

John Harbaugh’s wife, Teresa Harbaugh, was also an important element of the recital. She played the piano and the organ during various pieces.

Paddock, dressed in a black blouse with subtle bronze sparkles, and John Harbaugh, in a sleek black suit, marched on stage for an opening piece. They played “For Awakening the Good Fat

Monkey King (Who always sleeps with one eye open).”

John Harbaugh launched the show with four pieces from “Concerto in D, TWV 51:D7,” accompanied by Teresa Harbaugh on the organ.

Paddock played her solo from “Concerto in Eb major, WoO 1, S49” with Teresa Harbaugh on the piano.

John Harbaugh took the stage alone again. Teresa Harbaugh joined him on the piano. This piece, “La Mandolinata,” carried a choppy tone.

Next, Paddock and John Harbaugh played their first full-length piece together “Airs de Triomphe.”

The duo often played extremely fast but were able to harmonize.

“I was impressed by their ability to not only skip octaves but to also scale through them,” junior Conner Varnell said. “Obviously these two have had much practice perfecting their niche.”

After a brief intermission, the duo performed three pieces from “Centennial Horizon” and “She’s Gone Away.”

Teresa Harbaugh performed a

SAGE addresses issues of Gender in SE Asia Kiera Downs Copy editor

BSU as a gift.

Expecting mothers are living in fear of having a daughter. Many Southeastern Asian women face this issue, which is evident in the documentary “It’s A Girl.”

Students Advocating of Gender Equality (SAGE) hosted the film, which was shown April 18 in Graf 100.

“It’s A Girl” focused on female gendercide in India and China. Many newborns are killed if they are girls and kept if they are boys.

Surviving girls are often abused and neglected and girls under the age of 5 have a high mortality rate. One in four girls do not live past puberty.

In India, 100,000 women are murdered annually because they did not give birth to a boy or their husbands were not satisfied with the dowry. Courts often ignore dowry crimes and crimes against women.

In 1979, the Chinese government enacted a policy that allowed a couple to have only one child. Rural families were able to have a second child only if their first was a girl.

The Chinese family planning police actually enforces the once child policy, and anyone can report on anyone.

The family planning police take the women who are ‘illegally’ pregnant and force them to have an abortion.

These women are also fined 10,000 Yuan ($1,500 U.S.). In the ’80s, parents were denied 10 percent of their income for 14 years.

Many people tried to go into hiding to have their ‘illegal’ baby.

In China, there are 13 million abortions per year and 500 women commit suicide per day.

Gendercide has increased sex trafficking, child trafficking and prostitution.

Some young girls are kidnapped by families to become the wives of their sons. Hundreds of thousands of baby girls are orphaned or abandoned each year.

“I am at a loss for words. I had no idea about the dowry system, and I didn’t know a lot about gender issues and women killing kids,” sophomore Alex Lazar said.

Visit www.causes.com/ actions and search female gendercide to sign a petition that encourages leaders across the world to address this issue.

Although there were not many students in the crowd,

Music leads to healing after the Bosnian War Sara Miller For the Review It is dark. The grey sky outside matches the gloomy feel of those hiding in the streets. Food is scarce to none. Help is a word that has lost all meaning. Buildings are in ruin from the bombs that have threatened Sarajevo. And yet, four brave musicians stand in spite of this scene and play for their people and the hope of their city.

This was the scene Dr. Dijana Ihas lived with for

three and a half years during the Bosnian War in the ’90s. Ihas played the viola in the Sarajevo String Quartet; a group that captured the attention of the Bosnian government, rewarding it with prestigious honors for its efforts of preserving human dignity, as well as the attention of the world.

“When we played, we juxtaposed the horrible things of the war with our beautiful music,” Ihas said when she came to visit Linfield on April 19.

She came to help the choir

prepare for its spring show.

“Even though spring is usually about spring fever and sun and happiness,” Anna Song, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities, said. “We are singing about things that are dark and opposing to that, and Dr. Ihas can hopefully help give everyone a better sense of what those things feel like.”

The group’s first show after the war began was a remarkable tale. Bombing sirens sounded as the quartet walked to its perfor-

mance. However, it decided to play anyway in front of an arbor of the bombed Jewish church.

It began playing for its families who were there when others, who had been running for the safety of their homes, stopped and began to listen as well.

“As I was playing, I began crying,” Ihas said.

“Because for the first time, I understood that music was not just entertainment, it is a basic necessity in life.”

The Sarajevo String Quartet played 206 shows during

those dark three and a half years; in broken churches and hospitals, but for people who were finally becoming unbroken.

“Music connects us with the meanings of our lives,” Ihas said. “It helps us find the pathway to self-actualization, and I think people are beginning to see that.”

The Linfield choir will host its Spring Choral Concert May 12, hopefully learning from Ihas and taking her words to heart.

Guest pastor enlightens students about human conflict, social issues Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief

In light of the recent devastation that rocked the United States last week, the Black Student Union’s guest pastor could not have come at a better time.

Pastor J.W. Matt Hennessee shared his views on the recent events and dealing with conflicts April 18 in the Pioneer Reading Room.

Hennessee is the senior pastor at Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church in Portland, Ore. The Black Student Union donated $200 to Vancou-

ver Avenue First Baptist Church, which Hennessee announced would go into its scholarship program for high school students.

Before Hennessee gave his sermon, the church’s choir sang three songs. Students were on their feet, singing and clapping with the choir.

With attendance high, Hennessee thanked everyone for choosing to come to the event. His main focus was central to the tragedies in Boston and Waco, Texas.

“What is troubling as an American citizen, that these kind of terrorist acts

April 22, 2013

take away one more part of our freedom, which is what makes us uniquely American,” Hennessee said.

With time for prayer, Hennessee was able to shed some light on the topic of human conflict.

“Everyone has conflict at some point in their life, it’s learning how to deal with it, that’s what I help with,” Hennessee said.

With the success of the event’s turnout, the Chaplains Team and the multicultural affairs office have discussed making plans for more trips to Vancouver Avenue First Baptist

Drag show pushes Sexuality Week into the spotlight Carrie Skuzeski Culture editor She had sass. She had style. She had six-inch heels on. And, she had a penis.

She was Scarlett Ecstasy, the host of Linfield’s first “Drag Show for Tolerance,” who undoubtedly left the audience wowed, inspired and perhaps a little shocked, but all in good fun, April 19 in Ice Auditorium.

The drag show was the final event during Linfield’s Sexuality Week, which was organized by FUSION Club.

The week was dedicated to promoting tolerance for individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning (LGBTQ).

Ecstasy, who’s name is Alex Sylvester when not in drag, brought her boyfriend Rennata Flambée and friend Ginger Holiday to perform the show. Accompanying them were nearly 40 members of the Gay-Straight Alliance from the University of Oregon. Ecstasy, Flambée and Holiday each performed their own routine.

There were four acts featuring eight Linfield students.

Sophomore Jeremy Odden took on the identity of ZaZa. Dressed in a red satin dress, high heels and a brown-colored wig, ZaZa wooed the crowd and danced to the jazzy “I Am What I Am” by La Cage Aux Folles.

Sophomore Ian Franceschi wore a sparkly blue sweater that perfectly matched his nail polish.

Franceschi, or I should say Tracy Summers, exuberantly danced to “Ready or Not” by Britt Nicole.

Next, it was FUSION Club’s president Aidan Willers’ time to shine.

Using the stage name Crystal Bowercox, he energized onlookers with scandalous and well-composed dance moves. Bowercox embodied Ke$ha flawlessly; from the tight, studded leather jacket and see-through leggings, to the sassy attitude that enhanced Ke$ha’s song “All That Matters (Is the Beautiful Life).” Willers, or Bowercox, was awarded the People’s Choice Award for best act at the end of the show.

Five students performed the final Linfield act and titled themselves All Directions. Sophomores Meghan Bauder and Caitlyn Hertel, junior Ariana Lipkind, and freshmen Joanna Buchholz and Emily Wells dressed as classy gentlemen in buttoned-up shirts and slacks.

Junior Caleb Taylor portrayed a young lady wearing a vibrant blue skirt. All Directions galvanized the crowd with synchronized choreography to “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction.

But the show represented something much larger than divas cracking sex jokes.

“For one, it’s an experience you’re never going to get any where else. Two, it opens your eyes to a whole new world. And, it was hilarious,” senior Bob Nix said.

It brought people from all walks of life together. It did not matter if you were gay or straight, how you usually spent your Friday nights, what clothes you were wearing or how silly you looked dancing along to the music. It was about bringing the Linfield community, and a few friends from the University of Ore-

Although the drag show was the main event of Sexuality Week, there were events earlier in the week that also reaped success. A condom bingo took place April 15, an LGBTQ Trivia day April 16 and screening of Brokeback Mountain on April 17.

Members from FUSION Club said that the mock wedding, which took place April 18, had the most participants than any past years they had experienced.

“It definitely went really well. I’m happy that so many people showed up.”

Willers said. “You got to love a wedding, right?”

of silence to protest bullying of the LGBTQ community. It lasted from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. April 19 and led up to the drag show.

“We’re trying to make lesbian, or gay, or bisexual, or transgender or questioning more societally normative,” Willers said. “We are trying to push it to forefront. Because we are not going away.”

Willers said that the LGBTQ community is growing worldwide as people develop the confidence to reveal their true feelings.

“We want to have Linfield be a more tolerant place. And, I think this drag show is one of the first steps to that.”

Joel Ray/Senior photographer A student studies her bingo card during Condom Bingo, which took place April 15 in T.J. Day Hall.

Small crowd does not hinder Earth Week performance Quinn Carlin Staff writer Earth Week ended with veggie burgers and a concert. The concert included a performance by alumni Jesse Hughey and The Jackalope Saints.

The veggie burgers disappeared quickly, and soon after, so did the crowd. Only a few students stuck around to listen to the talented Hughey, who graduated from Linfield in 2010.

The show was supposed to start at 5 p.m., but it was pushed back in hopes of more people showing up.

The event was supposed to take place outside, but uncertain weather conditions moved it to the Fred Meyer Lounge.

When Hughey finally took the stage, he spoke of living in Seattle and being

an artist . He was happy to be back at Linfield with new material for the small crowd.

His songs were a mix of folk and country music.

Some of his songs would have been perfect to be the background music for a lone motorcycle rider, trying to find his way across America.

Hughey talked about his band and the music they are working on. He promoted their new album that will soon be released. After his set, he ducked out before The Jackalope Saints set up its instruments.

“At first I was skeptical about the concert because I had never heard of him, but now I’m going to try to find his album,” junior Austin Denson said. “Students missed out on this event, big time.”

The five members of The Jackalope Saints played

unusual instruments, such as the mandolin and the cello..

The members were lead singer Chad Wells, bass guitarist GeeGee Bradley, guitarist Ron Tinkham, drummer Nathan Bush and guitarist Mitch.

The birthplace of the band was the back room of a grimy tattoo shop in East Dayton, Ohio. Its music is rock’n’roll with a folk twinge.

“They are transcending genres faster than they create them. I can’t wait to download their music,” senior Kole Kracaw said.

The band said that its musical influences range from Elvis Presley to Kiss.

It kept the crowd on its toes, even though it was a small one; the audience was still loud with applause.

Dead spin on classic results in disappointment Paige Jurgensen Staff writer Recently, it seems that zombies are the new vampires. This is becoming more evident with the Hollywood media trying to make monsters sexy and/ or lovable, just as they did with vampires, through necrophilic love stories like “Warm Bodies” and “Twilight.”

However, this kind of monster glorifying nonsense needs to be shut down. Why? Because the world is exposed to abominations like “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”

“Pride and Prejudice,”

Cover of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” written by Jane Austen, is a classic novel, originally published in 1813, which

will go down in history scarred with this “trendy” gore-filled remake.

The novel, which was adapted into a graphic novel, is the two-headed demon baby of Seth Grahame-Smith and Jane Austen, who surely would be livid if she saw her work used to pander to the fangbanging youth.

There are several points in the story where the words are identical of those in “Pride and Prejudice.”

The novel is a destruction of classic literature.

The Bennet girls and Mr. Darcy are remade as Ninja-trained assassins, who, between festive galas

and balls, are fighting any zombies they may come by (regardless of carrying a weapon or being unladylike.) The zombies are viewed as ‘unmentionables’ with an unfortunate and unavoidable disease, which a handful of the classic characters develop throughout the book.

The relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, who is a bit more blood thirsty than the original, and Mr. Darcy, who is pretty much the same in manner and arrogance, stays true to the original novel.

Jennifer Schuessler, from the New York Times, wrote: “The book, prob-

ably the first Austen/horror mashup to make it into print, is roughly 85 percent Austen’s original text, with references to monsters, putrefying flesh and ninja swordplay added on just about every page.”

Grahame-Smith has published two more spinoffs, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls” and “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After.”

It’s unsettling to think what other classic novels will be painted red with monsters. Will Huck Finn run away with a werewolf?

Will Moby Dick transform from a whale to a kraken

and be hunted by vampiric Captain Ahab? Authors of today should consider originality rather than adaptation.

However, the morbidly seductive artwork by illustrator Cliff Richards is wonderful, which surely contributed to “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” being added to the New York Times’ best-seller list.

Grahame-Smith’s work, if you can count blatant plagiarism as work, is merely fan fiction masquerading as a novel.

Partner connectivity increases pleasure Dear Bailey, “What is tantric sex? Is it like yoga for sex or the Kamasutra?”

Tantra is an old sexual practice that has different forms but the same philosophy. The Kamasutra stems from Hinduism and is not the same as tantric sex, though the two have been meshed together and confused.

Tantra comes from the eastern philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism and is based on the idea that sex is about the journey not the destination. It is more about the spiritual connection and unity between two people and is often used as a way to enhance that connection in and outside the bedroom.

Having an all-over, full body orgasm is the goal rather than one orgasm at the end.

The philosophies of

the Kamasutra and Tantra each have different cultural beliefs about sex, and Tantra is more focused on “spiritual orgasms” rather than physical, though practices do have physical benefits.

Tantric sex can help men who suffer from premature ejaculation, as it helps one connect with their own body and control pleasure. Tantric sex builds up energy, enhancing the sensory experiences of sex that require more time to create to be able to feel. Each person’s soul, mind, and body

are “weaved” together to of course connect them but to also unify them.

Breathing in sync while spooning is one technique for people to blend together. Sexologist Doctor Sari Locker suggests both people lie on their left side, spoon so that their front and back are touching and inhale, wait a few seconds, and exhale. Do this slowly and independently. Once you have a rhythm find your partner’s rhythm and bring your breathing in sync. Keep them together for five minutes.

Once you have the breathing down (because this is done throughout tantric sex) it’s about prolonging the orgasm by building up the senses.

I relate it to a kind of more sexual teasing: each of you are going slow and not quite giving in to the fast,

animalistic sex. Locker suggests this exercise: rest the penis inside the vagina without thrusting and just feel.

Then withdraw the penis and massage it along the outside of the vaginal opening and the clitoris. Repeat both actions as many times as you would like, coming to the edge of orgasm each time. When ready to orgasm, the penis can be at either position suggested above, continuing to massage on the outside or gently moving inside the vagina.

Many books have been written about Tantric sex, and are sometimes mixed with Kamasutra. But to help understand Tantra on a deeper level, a book suggested by author James McConnachie is “Kiss of the Yogini: ’Tantric Sex’ in its South Asian Contexts.”

New sounds combine with the old Hadyn Nason KSLC General Manager If music wasn’t already a hybrid of all different sounds, it especially can now be found by Lushlife’s newest mixtape, “Plateau Vision.”

With a psychedelic background, Lushlife combines sounds from the ’60s and 2000s to bring listeners an experience that has not been heard yet.

Lushlife incorporates guest artists to always keep listeners on their feet, wondering what crazy sounds this producer could come surprise people with.

“Plateau Vision” is a great example of what new hip-hop sounds like. By staying creative and using different eras of music for inspiration, Lushlife is only going to get better in the months to come.

Music website, HipHopDX.com, gave “Plateau Vision” a four out of five

Lushlife’s “Plateau Vision” album cover stars from people reviewing the album. This is a high rating for that website, which just shows that listeners are connecting to the crazy sounds.

Lushlife has been producing music and traveling in its native home of Phila-

delphia, while being able to record the entire time. This is a perfect example of how new hip-hop is evolving even on the road and across the country.

The first tract “Magnolia” captures the listener’s attention by showing its dif-

ferent and alternative rap sounds. This debut album is going to be a strong competitor in both the alternative and hip-hop genres of music.

What a great idea to combine two different genres to give listeners something new to hear that hasn’t been done before, which is exactly what Lushlife was going for when it was in production.

KSLC is about exploring new music, and this was not any different. Lushlife “Plateau Vision” is not for everyone, but for people, who appreciate raw hiphop, should check it out.

Keep listening to KSLC 90.3 FM to hear the latest music. You can also listen online at www.linfield. edu/kslcfm or stream the station on iTunes.

Former athlete sets to inspire students Chris Haddeland Senior reporter To conclude the National Collegiate Athlete Association’s Division III week, a guest speaker spoke at Linfield College to Wildcat athletes in Ted Wilson Gymnasium on April 15.

Will Keim, a former college athlete at the University of the Pacific, spoke about being successful, not only in sports, but in life.

Keim started his lecture by saying how great Division III sports are. Unlike Division I, Division III sports are not solely influenced by money, and focus on the academic side of the college experience.

Division III athletes may miss a few days of class because of travel, but it is nothing like Division I athletes, where softball players can miss up to 40 days in a trimester for their sport.

As Keim continued, his emphasis focused on how college students’ actions impact their future.

“You are setting the banquette table for the feast of the rest of your life,” Keim said.

Keim then spoke of different actions that everyone should incorporate in their life like thinking, feeling, hoping and loving.

One of the most important

actions that college students have to focus on is the thinking portion, as our actions can affect the rest of our lives.

Keim gave four things to think about before anyone makes a choice: why am I doing this, is it legal, is it consistent with my moral principles and what are the consequences. If students follow this process they will generally make good decisions.

Keim gave examples of success in other lives and his own, where he had lost 140 pounds.

To continue with the success trend, Keim talked about majors and how you should love your classes, because your work will be similar.

“Find something you love to do and do it well enough so someone will pay you to do it,” Keim said. “You won’t have to work a day in your life.”

Keim currently speaks all across the country and is the softball coach at Corvallis High School in Corvallis, Ore. This lecture concluded Division III week at Linfield College, where student athletes were celebrated for their pursuit of sport and academics.

making the score 2-2.

Both teams struggled to bring in runs during the fourth and fifth.

Linfield broke the silence in the sixth with a single RBI from junior Ashley Garcia, securing the win for the Wildcats.

On day one, the Wildcats took down Pacific University and Whitworth University, winning both 3-2, 12-0.

Paavola had gained a dozen strikeouts, earning her 20th win of the season in her seven-inning appearance.

The Boxers came in scoring a run in the first but the Wildcats tied the game in the bottom of the first.

Middelstadt walked and then made it to third on a wild pitch. A mishandled ball allowed Middelstadt to score a run for the Wildcats.

In the fourth, the Boxers hit a double RBI that brought them back in the lead, 2-1.

At the bottom of the fifth, senior Megan Wallo hit a single into the left field, bringing junior Katy Brosig home. Prestianni slammed a double to drive home Wallo, putting the Wildcats in the lead and claiming the first win of the tournament.

In the second game against Whitworth, Vande-

Bergh only allowed two hits and one walk in the shutout game against the Pirates.

The Wildcats got the bases loaded in the first inning, but the Pirates’ number one pitcher Riley Fitz struck out both Yamamoto and Garcia, leaving Catball scoreless in the inning.

During the second, sophomore Erin Carson scored the first run of the game. Prestianni hit a single to the right field, driving both Middelstadt and sophomore McKenna Spieth to home plate. She then went on to steal second.

Prestianni, Wallo and Yamamoto also scored runs for the Wildcats.

Another six runs were made in the fourth with two RBI from Prestianni and Garcia. Carson and Spieth both hit single RBIs, making the score 6-0.

The live selection show will take place at 6:30 a.m.

May 6.

Catball will next compete at the NCAA Regional Tournament on May 8 or 9.

The destination is yet to be determined.

“Each weekend our goal is to get better,” VandeBergh said. “We want to be playing our best at the end of the season so we hope to improve each time we step on the field together.”

Catball: One of the best in the bracket Post-season play is on the doorstep. There was a need for a lead. It was the final day where a home game was possible.

The No. 7 Linfield softball team needed to get something started if it was to avoid extra innings. But it had either been tied or trailed defending Division III champions Pacific Lutheran all game. The game was now tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.

Leading off the inning for the ‘Cats was one of just two seniors on the entire roster.

The senior, Karleigh Prestianni, coolly laced the second pitch into left field for a base hit. Just what the playoff doctor ordered (yes, there is a playoff doctor. Not sure about his/her pay grade, but it must be substantial). Prestianni would come around to score in the inning, and Linfield would not relinquish the 3-2 lead.

“We’ve seen [Pacific Lutheran pitcher] Kaaren Hatlen quite a few times over the years so I knew I was going to get something

Sports Commentary

Tyler Bradley Sports columnist inside…in the at bat and I got it on the second pitch…and it worked out,” Prestianni said.

With the win, Linfield took home the NWC tournament crown on its home field and clinched an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament.

After losing a lot of talent from last year’s team that finished runner up to Pacific Lutheran University in the National Title game, and with just two seniors on the roster, Linfield dominated the NWC this season.

When asked about the success of this young team, Prestianni said, “We lost a lot of talent from last year, but this team has been so much

fun to play on because everyone has so much heart…the underclassmen have stepped up huge, and it’s cool to see them growing up and getting better every day.”

It’s true, this team is by far the best in the NWC. It won the NWC regular season by seven full games. The top three leaders in batting average in the NWC are all Linfield players—sophomore Erin Carson, Prestianni and junior Ashley Garcia. The leader in home runs is Linfield sophomore, Lisa Yamamoto.

The three leaders in ERA are all Linfield pitchers—sophomore Montana McNealy, and juniors Karina Paavola and Shelby VandeBergh. Paavola leads the league in strikeouts by a staggering 40 total strikeouts. Linfield’s sophomore Grace Middlestadt leads the league in stolen bases.

Get the idea?

It has even saved its best play for the final half of the season. After a loss to Chapman University on March 22, Linfield has won 19 of its past 20 games. The team is on fire

when the games are beginning to matter more.

“I think we have a great shot in the postseason. It’s all about who plays good at the right time and I think we a have a very good opportunity to do that,” Prestianni said.

With the NWC tournament victory, Prestianni said, “today was like our real senior day.”

One of the perks of winning the league is hosting the conference tournament. Of course, hosting the tournament is only made sweeter by winning said tournament.

Now the ‘Cats embark on an NCAA tournament journey. They just picked up another perk: they are guaranteed a spot. Based off of the success of the team this year, if it is in need of a lead in the coming games, it can get the job done.

Just ask the rest of the NWC. This team is one of the best.

Men’s and women’s golf teams meet par during NWC Championships Quinn Carlin Staff writer For the men, it was a tough loss, finishing only five strokes behind Whitworth University, who won over all during the NWC Championships on April 20 and 21.

Linfield finished second with a score of 598 for the tournament. Helping with the second place victory were sophomores Taylor Klopp, R y a n N o l a n and Taylor Pirnke and junior A.J. Taylor, who Ruben all placed below the 22nd spot.

The main highlight was that freshman Adam Ruben shot a 71 during the tournament.

For the men, “the first day went well, the second day was a little bit of struggle,” Taylor said. “In the end, though, we pulled it together and got out of there with a pretty good score.”

After this tournament, the men’s team is now sec-

ond in the rankings, being brought up from its previous fourth place.

The University of Puget Sound follows the Wildcats by six points with a score of 604, who is then followed

by Whitman College with a score of 613.

The women did not compete quite as well, finishing the tournament in seventh.

The winner of the tournament was George Fox University, who claimed the fourth straight win in the NWC Championships.

Wildcats pounce on conference title Tyler Bradley Sports columnist

Linfield swept George Fox by scores of 6-1, 10-3 and 2-1 April 20 and 21 to clinch the NWC title.

Game one of the doubleheader was a pitching duel between Linfield’s sophomore Chris Haddeland and Fox’s Clay Gartner, but a sixrun Linfield eighth inning broke the game open.

Junior Nate McClellan led off the eighth and lined the first pitch he saw into rightcenter field. After freshman Finn McMichael replaced McClellan as a pinch runner, he took off on a hit-and-run play and senior Clayton Truex delivered with a base knock into right field. Senior Jordan Harlow stepped to the plate and smoked the first pitch of his at bat into left field to drive in McMichael and tie the game.

A sacrifice bunt from senior Kyle Chamberlain (who caught all three games this weekend) forced Fox’s hand, and they chose to walk senior Tim Wilson and load the bases for sophomore Corey VanDomelen. VanDomelen worked the count to a favorable 3-1 before hitting a hard grounder up the middle—just out of the reach of the second baseman—to plate two more runs.

A RBI single by junior Jake Wiley followed by a two-run

double by McMichael made it 6-1. The double was McMichael’s first career at bat and hit.

Haddeland (9-1, 1.12 ERA) struck out seven during the outing without issuing a walk. This was his sixth complete game of the year, and he needed only 100 pitches to do so against the hard-hitting Bruins. Enough can’t be said about the Linfield infield in this game and throughout the series. Haddeland issues a lot of groundballs, and the infield made zero errors and routinely made tough dribblers or scorching groundballs look easy.

Game two was a 10-3 Linfield shellacking highlighted by home runs from junior Kramer Lindell (who nearly had a second home run in the eighth inning), Truex and McClellan.

The best highlight of the game came in left field in the eighth inning. Wilson tracked a massive fly ball off the bat of George Fox first baseman Derek Dixon to the fence. He timed his leap perfectly and snagged the ball over the fence and brought it back in to record the out and prevent a two-run home run. The crowd erupted in awe on both sides, and the catch was a deafening blow to an already distant comeback chance for George Fox. Truex’s home run in the

There was no doubt about it clearing the fence, but the George Fox manager and team disagreed with two ball-strike calls from earlier in the at bat. The disagreement led to an ejection for the George Fox manager, and he continued to voice his

displeasure for the umpire’s decision making.

Game three on Sunday was an intense 2-1 extra inning battle that ended in Linfield’s favor. The winning run came in the bottom of the 13th inning. Wiley, 3-4 with two walks on the day, walked on four pitches, which sent

Lindell to the plate. Lindell roped one over the third baseman’s head down the line and it was fair by maybe a hair.

Wiley slid into home without a throw to seal the victory for the ‘Cats.

Wiley’s teammates mobbed him at the plate before moving onto Lindell

and piling on top of him near the pitcher’s mound.

Linfield heads back on the road April 27 and 28 to battle last place Lewis & Clark (9-27, 6-15 NWC) in a three-game series.

chick said. “I learned a lot and made a lot of new friends.”

Playing in the last game of her college career, senior Lexi Thomas reflected on her time playing for Linfield tennis.

“Having played for Linfield for three years and having great teammates along with great coaches, it will be strange not playing next year,” Thomas said.

Thomas has a record of 18 singles and 24 doubles wins during her time at Linfield.

“The score honestly didn’t show how well I played, which was disappointing,” Thomas said about her final match.

“I’m hoping that since I will be on campus for another year to finish my degree, that I can still possibly hit with my teammates and possibly help out as an assistant coach,” Thomas said. “I will miss my teammates and all the times we had when we were playing matches on the road, but they are memories that I will cherish.”

Some athletes may travel from state to state playing their sport. Senior Lynette Cole did much more than that as she traveled across the pond in 2011 to study abroad in the United Kingdom.

While in the U.K., Cole played lacrosse for Lancaster University.

“I wanted to play while I was abroad,” Cole said. “I would have played rugby if not for lacrosse, it just made sense.”

Playing for Lancaster University gave Cole the opportunity to work on her skills, as she was one of the top players for the team.

“I learned how to drive the ball,” Cole said. “I became more confident with the ball and the flow of the game came more naturally to me.”

Cole started playing lacrosse in college so the sport was fairly new to her, especially when she was abroad as a sophomore.

“The more contact with the stick you get makes you better,” Cole said. “I came back as a whole new player.”

Cole said her lacrosse experience in the U.K. was great, but the best part was the social aspect of the

“All my best friends [in the U.K.] played lacrosse,” Cole said.

The men and women’s lacrosse teams would hang out regularly and this is where they developed their friendships.

“The social aspect was

the best part,” Cole said.

Cole proceeded to say that every student should study abroad and maximize their experience by participating in different activities.

“Everybody should study abroad,” Cole said. “[While abroad] don’t be afraid to join clubs or even

sports.”

The Wildcats’ 2013 lacrosse season ended April 12. Cole concluded her college career by playing midfield for the team, starting every game.

Two of the games were a close call, but the Wildcats made sure to pull through in the end to secure their spot in the tournament.

“We were very excited to be playing the conference tournament on our own field, and it felt really good to win at home in front of our fans,” junior pitcher Shelby VandeBergh said.

In the final round of the tournament, the Wildcats took down Pacific Lutheran University, 3-2.

Catball faced the Lutes in the conference tournament and division finals last year. The Wildcats were left with a loss in both face-offs.

Junior Karina Paavola had four strikeouts on the Lutes and reliever Montana McNealy also had one as well.

In the second inning, sophomore Lisa Yamamoto hit a home run for the Wildcats, bringing in their first run of the game and tying the game 1-1. The Lutes responded with a home run of their own, pushing them in the lead.
