Kemper Foundation announces Linfield scholar Julian Adoff Multimedia editor Freshman Eric Lawson is now the fifth Linfield student to be named a Kemper Scholar in the past three years. He joins juniors Joe Gladow and Blake Densley, and sophomores Cody Purchase and Terran Sobel-Smith.

The Kemper Foundation announced this year’s Kemper Scholars on April 24.

Psych professor retires from Linfield after 30 years of service

Lawson and other freshmen applied during their first semester.

Each of the 16 Kemper Institutions forms a committee to look at the applications and provide the Kemper Foundation with three candidates for consideration. Linfield’s committee included staff, faculty and the past Kemper recipients.

Thomas Mertes, competitive scholarship advisor, commented on the importance of GPA in the

decisions that the committee made.

“I think this is quite an important point for students to take away.

Your GPA is an important yardstick for outside analysts to use in evaluating young scholars,” Mertes said.

Mertes also commented that Lawson had a well-rounded high school career and impressive first semester at Linfield.

Lawson is currently on the JV baseball team. He said that his experiences this year on the base-

ball team were central in his interview with Kemper president, Dr. Ryan LaHurd.

“We talked about how baseball players are a different type of athlete. We fail more than we succeed, but tomorrow is a new day,” Lawson said.

Lawson said that he learned from his brother that it is important >> Please see Kemper page 6

Greek Life gets competitive

Samantha Sigler News editor Eugene Gilden, professor of psychology, is retiring from Linfield after 30 years. “[Since] my very first day on campus one of the things that has remained is how attractive the campus is,” Gilden said. “It really looks like how a college campus ought to look.”

Before coming to Linfield, Gilden worked at various research positions and at Oregon Health & Science University in the medical psychology department.

When Gilden first began working at Linfield, he was not sure if this was where he really wanted to be working for the rest of his career. However, he ended up falling in love with the campus and the people.

“I had the thought that this would be okay for a first job, and I guess I was kind of right about that,” Gilden said. “It was my first full-time academic position.”

Gilden received his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, his masters degree from California State of Los Angeles and his Ph.D. from the University of Houston.

Although he began college as an anthropology major, after about a year, he found psychology to be more interesting and switched majors.

Linfield offers useful career opportunities Few things are more intimidating than graduating and stepping out of the Linfield bubble. Thankfully, the Office of Career Development does a great job of preparing seniors and other students for life after college.

Recently, students have had many opportunities to explore career options, network and visit with Linfield alumni about careers. With events like Lunch On Us, job search seminars, career fairs and online career resources, students can be well prepared.

The most recent event was Life after Linfield.

There seems to have been some misconceptions about what the event is though. It isn’t only a lecture about etiquette, rather it is an opportunity for seniors to network and ask alums questions.

An alumnus sits at a table

with students, alums give speeches and then at the end everyone mingles. Only the first lecture includes etiquette tips. Professors also attend the events and act as servers for the tables.

“I would definitely consider this opportunity beneficial. It’s a great way to mingle with your senior class, chat with Linfield faculty and meet alumni from all around,” senior Emily Zegar said.

The alums come from all majors, interests and careers, yet all have one thing in common. They want to help inspire graduating seniors.

Linfield graduates from Nike and The Oregonian were among some who were present.

“The alums are so encouraging, especially to some seniors who are unsure what they will be doing after graduation. It

gives these seniors hope,” said Lisa Weidman, assistant professor of mass communication.

“The most important thing I learned was to measure your success in happiness, not money. And even if you have a job, it’s always important to network and create meaningful connections with people,” Zegar said.

Ultimately, Life after Linfield was a success in the eyes of those who attended.

For future seniors, remember to utilize these resources and understand that this opportunity isn’t just an etiquette lecture.

There is more to the event that can help start careers and make lasting connections with alumni.

“I think the Career Development Department does an excellent job of hosting events for seniors

geared toward networking.

That being said, it is the job of the senior to take the initiative and meet with someone in the Career Development Department if they are seeking direction in their job search. They are a great resource to utilize,” Zegar said.

The Office of Career Development has customized assistance and many resources that can only be found at a smaller college, such as Linfield.

Take advantage of these opportunities and remember that they are available even after graduation.

“You don’t have to know what you want to do after college or what you need assistance with, they will help you,” Weidman said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why do I donate to Linfield College?

I donate because I want others to have the opportunity to experience Linfield.

The reason I was able to attend Linfield was because of scholarships, made possible by donations. I am so grateful to the donors

whose generosity and commitment to quality liberal arts education made my four years at Linfield possible.

I started giving

to Linfield the year I graduated — it was a small amount, something like $25. I know it wasn’t much, but I wanted to show my

support. I have continued to donate, even while attending graduate school, because I believe in the mission of Linfield. I donate so

future generations can believe in the mission too.

Morgan St. Jean Class of 2009 Washington, DC

Choosing to attend Linfield College was the best decision I ever made. Now that I live in Washington, DC, I proudly wear my red and purple gear and tell everyone about my experience.

The cost of a great

liberal arts education was not cheap—and tuition has continued to increase since I left. But giving back to a college that has given so much to you does not seem to me to be an issue related to your student loans or the length of time since

you graduated.

I firmly believe every Linfield student and grad should donate to Linfield. It doesn’t matter if you give $5 or $50—whatever you can afford is the right amount.

I look forward to

getting my annual call from a Phonathon student, learning about how they like Linfield and making my donation.

So why do I donate every year?

I donate because I believe the liberal arts

curriculum and amazing professors taught me the skills I needed to go to grad school and get a job. I donate because I believe the experiences I had at Linfield through Alternative Spring Break and other clubs changed

my life for the better. I donate because I believe a high-quality education is important and I want to help provide it for the next set of students.

TECHNOLOGY

Poor Internet connection continues around campus An issue that has plagued me during my many study sessions in Jazzman’s is the quality of the Internet connection in Riley.

While in Jazzman’s, I constantly find that the Internet has connection issues and makes studying an issue.

I often wonder how our tech department works constantly on the Internet, yet we still have so many issues with it. I know it is something that confuses me, as well as my peers here at Linfield.

The issues are not only in Jazzman’s. There are

Julian Adoff Multimedia editor parts of Renshaw Hall that do not have connection on a regular basis.

In this building, classes are regularly held so it is extremely concerning that inconsistent Internet occurs.

What if the Internet quit in the middle of a

professor’s lecture?

They may no longer have access to the different online resources they need to finish the class as planned.

In addition, the older residence halls have such a slow Internet connection.

Someone who lives in Frerichs Hall told me that the Internet crashed, and it was not solved for some time.

From what I have gathered, it seems that ITS relies on complaints to fix the Internet.

Also, Jane Failing Hall has inconsistent Inter-

net depending on what floor you are standing on, which way you are facing and the time of day.

We all know that around 10 p.m. the Internet is at its slowest as everyone around campus hops on Netflix or Hulu to get their regular intake of television online.

There is a real need for Internet on a college campus. We all have work that uses the Internet.

Rarely do assignments not require use of an online search engine, app or Linfield resource that is only found online.

The Internet is also

important when it comes to research and the amount that professors and students rely on Blackboard for assignments.

Blackboard has become a staple in the classroom that needs to be easily accessible.

Often times people begin to panic when the Internet fails during important online activities, such as registering for classes.

Internet failures during this could result in a student not getting the required class he or she needs.

There needs to be a new

system in place for maintenance of the Internet.

The Internet needs to not only be fixed when people complain.

The school needs to always work on expanding the capabilities of our Internet connection.

This is another one of the times that many students feel Linfield is on the defensive when it comes to progress.

We need to focus more on expanding our technology and not “fixing” our outdated products.

POP CULTURE

Swimmer Ryan Lochte’s new reality show sinks

All I had to do was watch the extended trailer on E! Online of Ryan Lochte’s new show “What would Lochte do?” to know that I had entered into a world shallower than a river during a drought.

Apart from his good looks and quick swim to fame, Lochte has little to offer besides annoying catch phrases and unoriginal fashion sense.

Let’s start off with his phrase, “jeah”. The way you are supposed to pronounce it is “JJJJJJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” and then “yah”.

Really let that “JE-” holler, otherwise you run the risk of sounding lame.

I think this catch phrase is lame because the “je-” part only makes me think of “chia pets”; those little animals that grow grass in specific places to imply fur.

Talk about so ’90s.

Now let’s talk about his fashion style. Lochte looks like a white boy trying to pull off the “Guido” look.

Call in all the sports related graphic tees and cargo shorts!

Let’s be honest people, the only thing Lochte looks good in is a speedo!

Lochte claims that his dinosaur green shoes with his name on the sole was his big break into the fashion world. Too bad I did not hear about them until now. Also, that color goes with almost nothing besides the color of envy that Lochte probably feels for himself.

I mean who wouldn’t want that life style?

Expensive cars, the incapability to find a normal date and your mom telling the whole world that you have one night stands.

Kate Straube Photo editor Jeah!...sounds like a dream to me!

Back to fashion though.

Lochte talks in the trailer about how he wants people to be “walking in his shoes” and he wants his fashion style to have the “Lochte edge.”

When asked “What is the Lochte edge?” he did not even know.

Well, I can tell you what the edge is...a ticket straight to Shallow Town.

Clearly the only thing Lochte has been asked in his budding career is how many medals he won at the Olympics, and judging by the trailer for his show, he does not even know that either.

Little word of advice dude, you should probably know the details about your claim to fame before you go on having your own TV show.

Lochte epitomizes everything that I find annoying about the human race, and I probably would not be done talking about it before he got off the podium at the Olympics.

But I’ll save that for another time. In the meantime, I guess the more important question is will I be indulging in Lochte’s new show?

Jeah....NO.

CAMPUS LIFE

Be smart, don’t ruin things for other people There are many rules that restate common sense, because people don’t want to think about consequences to their actions, whether these consequences are major or minor.

Why is it that people think it is a good idea to do dumb things and ruin it for the rest of us?

So many people complain about the legal drinking age, but drink illegally anyway. Have you ever wondered why the drinking age is 21?

Maybe it is because so many young people choose to be irresponsible about it.

They say they want to go out and have a good time, but what is good about getting so drunk so fast that you get sick, pass out and don’t remember anything?

Kiera Downs Copy editor What is it that people find so entertaining about trying to climb anything and everything?

Do they want to think they are Spiderman when they know they can’t stick to buildings and hang from bridges?

Or trees?

I like to climb trees, but other people don’t think, so they want to push the limits of how far up they can go or how much weight a

branch can hold, then they fall and get hurt or die.

Since when has that been a good idea?

Never.

Did you know that there is a policy against climbing trees on campus? I didn’t, and I know a lot of other people didn’t. I can see why there is this policy.

It is to keep people safe and to prevent damage to the trees.

Have you thought about the fact that if enough people used their common sense and were safe and considerate about many things that we wouldn’t need all of these laws and policies?

Then people turn around and blame someone else for their own lack of common sense. If you

order a hot coffee, you should expect it to be hot.

So when you spill it, expect it to burn you.

One woman successfully sued McDonald’s because she burned herself after spilling the hot coffee she ordered.

People need to use their common sense and realize that excessive drinking can kill you, you can get hurt if you climb buildings and you shouldn’t blame your actions on everyone.

The people in our nation need to take responsibility for their actions and not be so sue happy.

They also need to realized that other people pay for their lack of common sense.

Student wellness center to host sexual assault rally Jessica Prokop Editor-in-chief The Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Center, along with members of the Linfield and McMinnville communities, are hosting a Take Back the Night rally and march in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) on April 30.

The rally and march will take place at 6:30 p.m., starting at Walker Hall. The goal of the event is “to raise awareness about sexual assault, to demonstrate community solidarity and show support for survivors,” said Adria Godon-Bynum, the new coordinator for student health wellness.

“Take Back the Night is

an international event that includes a rally and march to protest and seek action to put an end to rape and other occurrences of sexual violence. It originated in Europe in the ’70s as part of the International Tribunal on Crimes against Women. Subsequently, marches and rallies were held soon after in response to egregious sexual violence

and staggering rape statistics,” Godon-Bynum said.

The idea behind these events was that women should be able to be out in their community day or night without living in fear, Godon-Bynum explained.

“Since then, the marches have grown to include men and boys in the recognition that girls and women, boys

and men and members of all communities are affected by sexual violence, and that in order to effect change, a community must work together to put a stop to these crimes,” she said.

Despite the fact that it won’t be dark during the event, the “night” symbolizes the silence and fear surrounding sexual violence,

Godon-Bynum explained.

Participants will have the opportunity to write messages of protest or words of hope on biodegradable balloons, which will be released at the end of the event.

“Break the silence, break the fear,” Godon-Bynum said.

Visiting professor discusses education in modern world Olivia Marovich Staff writer Following his April 21 lecture, an emeritus professor presented about his philosophical ideas surrounding education in the highly modernized world in which we live on April 22.

Chet Bowers spoke about how technology, such as print and computers, is undermining the cultural ecology of our world today, isolating people from their cultures.

“Ecology is how natural systems interact and their customs,” Bowers said. “It is the behavior of a natural system, and it means that we should think about everything in terms of our relationship with it.”

Bowers went on to explain how the creation of print has stunted the process of thinking about our relationships with the world by making our thought process stagnant like words on a page.

“Print can only provide a surface knowledge of the context of an experience,” Bowers said. “It is always dated and it can only provide a surface knowledge of events.”

Bowers believes that as students, we have been taught by the print and technology we consume to think in terms

of abstract ideas and not about the fluid world around us.

Thinking in terms of the ecology of our world can change this.

“There are three different types of ecological intelligence: personally centered, social justice, and natural systems ecology,” Bowers said.

Personally centered focuses on the individual and their wants and desires. Social justice is how our behaviors affect others and natural systems focus on our impact on the world.

“Since life is based on relationships, we have to think about the moral decisions included in those relationships,” Bowers said.

Part of the moral decision we face when we use technology is the amplification and reduction of certain characteristics, like when we use computers.

“Computers amplify our individualism and objective knowledge, but they reduce our specific knowledge and context,” Bowers said. “With computers, we are alone and together at the same time, which can be seen as either an amplification or a reduction.

However, technology is not neutral.”

“Computers and Internet can be a great tool for

But I agree with Professor Bowers that there are bad sides to everything. The Internet is full of distractions and false information.”

Bowers urged the audience to think of the implica-

tions that come with technology, those questions that sometimes our abstract way of thinking does not allow us to see, like how computerdriven technologies have reduced the need for workers.

The questioning of our technology-centered lives is what Bowers believes will help us better understand the ecology of our world.

Students in particular should

focusing on social psychology and its affects on everyday life.

“The major thing that I’m interested in, and I think that I have explored some, is the way that very subtle kinds of influence turn out to be quite powerful in our lives,” Gilden said. “While human beings do have agency [and] some level of free will, we are a lot more influenced by things that we’re unaware of.”

Gilden has given numerous lectures before, but he finds it “nerve-wracking” to give this final lecture because it is a different type

of audience, he said.

He won’t have time to establish a relationship with the audience, which he thinks is important when giving a lecture.

When asked to do the lecture, he was given wide latitude to talk about anything he wanted to, Gilden said.

Because of this, he has no idea if the audience will enjoy his final lecture, but he is still excited to see how students and faculty respond.

“Now all I have to do is execute it,” Gilden said.

think about the consequences of our use of technology and approach it with caution.

“It’s OK to use technology as a tool or resource,” Kenny said. “But, it’s not good to revolve your entire life around it. Use computers for work and research, have a little fun on Facebook or YouTube, but spend most of your time in the real world with real people.”

This sentiment mirrored Bowers’ thoughts.

“People need to be mutually supported in a community for cultural ecology to thrive,” Bowers said. “We exist not as isolated individuals, but within an environment of relationships.”

Visiting professor explains why John Locke still matters Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief The world has many great political thinkers, all being dead and not of the time. So why do they matter?

As part of the Frederick Douglass Forum on Law, Rights and Justice, a guest lecturer discussed why John Locke still matters April 25 in the Pioneer Reading Room.

“John Locke matters because ideas and the history of ideas matter,” said Kristy King, visiting assistant professor of politics from Whitman College. “[Ideas] constitute reality for us.”

Describing Locke as her “favorite, dead white guy,” King discussed how America is built on Lockeian ideas.

“Locke-ian ideas are important ideological fur-

niture in our mind in America,” King said.

Displaying just how Locke-ian ideas influence our thoughts, King showed a cartoon about how different common thoughts that Americans think stem from Locke-ian ideas that surround politics, social issues and economics.

Focusing on the social contract and two specific exclusion acts, King argued that “these exclusions continue to haunt, shape and direct political discourse in contemporary political views in America, today.”

King talked about Locke’s theory on property, stating that it was a natural right until the invention of money.

“Once money was invented, things start to go wrong,” King said. “People started to steal from each other, and suddenly you see an environment trans-

formed from a bucolic wonderland of quality and abundance into a state of war, where no one is secure in the body or possession so we need a social contract and state that protects our body and our property.”

King also discussed the private sphere and how Locke’s ideas impact women. With men out working the public sphere, women were left to tend to the home, the private sphere.

By looking at how sexual acts, abortions and childrearing are private from the legal obligations, King argues that Locke-ian ideas prove that women have more control over the private sphere.

The discussion was opened up to the audience for questions.

“It’s kind of interesting because there’s a combination of constraint and freedom at the same time,” Gilden said. “You’re constrained

by the boundaries of the academic calendar and the semester and things like that, but at the same time between each of the days within those constraints, you have a lot of freedom of how you’re going to spend your day.”

Although Gilden is ready to move on from Linfield, he will miss the opportu-

nities and relationships he’s had with people in all departments and areas on campus.

“I think at a lot of schools there are less opportunities for cross-talk among different departments and different parts of the faculty, but I came here at a time when there’s a lot of interaction

between people,” Gilden said.

Having past students furthering their careers and lives because of things that Gilden taught them or helped them with will also be something that Gilden will miss after retiring, he said.

However, Gilden said he is looking forward to traveling,

working with new research opportunities and participating in music opportunities.

“The top thing I’m looking forward to is being able to pick up and go from September through the end of May if I want to,” Gilden said. “Time will tell.”

Do you think all 18-yearolds should dedicate 18 to 24 months of military or civilian service?

This is the topic of discussion during Will Marshall and Tom G. Palmer’s debate at 11:45 a.m. May 6 in Riley Hall 201. Attendees will be served lunch at 11:45

a.m., and the debate will follow at noon.

The debate will center on programs requiring 18-year-olds to join military or civilian service. Such programs have been disputed for many years, and there have been a wide variety of proposals for the programs.

Marshall and Palmer will focus the debate on the program proposed by the

Clinton Administration.

Marshall is a central contributor to the progressive politics movement. He is the honorary vice president of Policy Network, an international think tank supporting progressive policy ideas. He has edited and co-edited numerous books, such as “Mandate for Change,” a policy blueprint bestseller used during Clin-

ton’s first presidential term.

Palmer serves as senior fellow at Cato Institute and director at Cato University.

He is the executive vice president for Atlas Economic Research Foundation’s international programs. At the foundation, he installed programs for a global network of think tanks in 14 languages. He regularly lectures on topics, such as

for him to get out into the world earlier in college.

“I am going to get to follow his advice and get started. I am a little bit afraid, but I have been taught to embrace it. It is a good type of fear,” Lawson said.

Lions and tigers and bear... carvings?

Sarah Mason/Features editor

It stands about 14 feet high and gives a thumbs-up to passersby.

It is carved out of a tree stump and stands adjacent to the Kappa Sigma Fraternity house facing College Avenue.

If you haven’t seen it yet, and have no idea what I am talking about, there is a life-size wooden bear lurking on the edge of Linfield’s campus.

McMinnville resident Jose Rojas has spent the last two and a half months carving a bear figure into a 16-foot stump in the Mendoza residents’ lawn.

“It was just a stump sitting there,” Esmerelda Mendoza said. “We didn’t know what to do with it until Jose, one of my husband’s coworkers, offered to carve it for us.”

Surprisingly, this is not Rojas’ first carving. He has quite the talent and has carved boa constrictors, totem poles, eagles and other Native American symbols into feather rock and wood for family, friends and business deals. Rojas chose to carve a bear because bears are a symbol for the wildlife and nature found in Oregon.

The bear carving was once the stump of a tall fir tree that was cut down eight to 10 years ago.

“When the tree was first cut down, my husband was sure someone would carve it someday,” Mary Wiemer, a neighbor, said.

A couple months ago, Wiemer peeked out of her first floor living room window across the street to where her eyes met Rojas perched on a ladder beginning to whittle away at the thick stump.

Rojas either sits perched on top of a ladder while he carves away at the wood, or he stands with a large chainsaw detailing the bear. He said he prefers carving in two-hour increments.

“He is a meticulous worker,” Wiemer said. “He is industrious with what he is trying to portray, and my husband and I are tickled to death for it to almost be done.”

Rojas said he enjoys mingling with the foot traffic that passes while he works. He said while he works, cars will often stop because they see the bear and it’s not something that they are used to.

The bear has attracted campus-wide attention, especially from members of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity who live next to the Mendozas.

“All I see is people pass by and take pictures,” Mendoza said.

“Especially the men that live in the fraternity house right behind the bear.”

Many passersby did not notice the trunk even existed before Rojas began carving it.

“We often don’t notice little things that slowly turn into something miraculous,” Wiemer said. “The carving is definitely a neat part of the community.”

Graduating seniors will teach for America Sarah Mason/Features editor

Each year, more than 40,000 college seniors and professionals apply for the Teach For America (TFA) program. A select few individuals are then given the opportunity to pack up their belongings, move across the country and spend the next two years teaching students in a randomly selected public school.

Two Linfield education majors, Noelle Beesley and Lori McEwen, and psychology major Kadi White are among the few applicants who were accepted by TFA for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.

The women began the competitive and nerve-wracking three-part application process in December 2012 and received notification of acceptance into the program March 2013.

The first round consisted of submitting a completed application, letter of intent and resume to the TFA program. Next, the applicants underwent a 40-minute telephone interview with current TFA members and alumni. The final round was held in Portland, Ore., and required the applicants to teach lessons, engage in group discussions and meet with a final interviewer.

After the final round, the applicants anxiously awaited their acceptance letters. Two weeks

later, Beesley, White and McEwen had been invited to join the TFA program following graduation.

Beesley will be relocating to South Carolina, McEwen will be moving to Memphis, Tenn., and White will be moving to the Mississippi Delta in June to begin a five-week training program before school begins in the fall.

McEwen became interested in TFA through a former Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority sister, Audrey Germer, who currently teaches in Phoenix, Ariz.

Her mother was a teacher so

she realized at a young age that she wanted to follow in her footsteps.

Marilyn Salter, a visiting professor at Linfield, has encouraged McEwen to let her personality shine through teaching. McEwen is excited to be a full-time teacher.

“The students I love working with the most are the ones who need a positive role-model,” McEwen said. “I love being that for them.”

Beesley took advantage of the opportunity to work for TFA because she wants to be a part of a social justice organization and help change education systems.

Growing up, Beesley was inspired by her second grade teacher, Mr. Wiersma.

“He made me feel like I was needed in the classroom,” Beesley said. “Like I was important, and like I was valued as a learner in his class. He always remembered

me, cracked jokes and set himself up as a positive role model I could turn to as a learner.”

She hopes to pass this feeling on to her students during her time in South Carolina and in her future with teaching.

For White, TFA is a bit of a different experience being a psychology major.

“The great aspect of TFA is that it doesn’t require you to have a degree in education,” she said.

“I applied because it gives me the opportunity to make a change that means something and makes long and short term differences.”

Although White does not have education experience, she is excited for what the Mississippi Delta has in store for her.

All three seniors enjoy helping others in need. TFA emphasizes not only educating children, but also making a direct impact on students’ lives.

Documentary sparks discussion about sex trafficking Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief What were you doing when you were 12 to 14 years old? Millions of women and children in Latin America are pulled into sex trafficking at this age.

The Linfield Chaplain’s Team hosted a viewing of “Volviendo,” a documentary by three young filmmakers about the perpetually growing problem of sex trafficking in Latin America on April 23 in Ice Auditorium. The event also included discussion with one of the producers of the documentary and a woman who survived sex trafficking.

Artwork from survivors was on display for guests to look at before the film. Words, including hope and healing, filled paintings and poetry

that were brought by organizations, such as Mending Soul and Freedom’s Breath.

Starting at 7 p.m., the documentary was introduced by Chaplain David Massey and alumna Sierra Stopper.

Stopper graduated in 2011 with a Spanish major and anthropology minor. After studying abroad during her time at Linfield, Stopper learned about the sex trafficking problem. Upon graduation, Stopper met Jes Richardson, who helped Stopper found the Volviendo organization. Stopper and Massey worked together with Portland-based organizations to make this event possible.

Volviendo originally started out as a feature film project by producer Phillip Abraham, Brittany Lefebvre and Diego Traverso.

“Volviendo” movie cover “We didn’t want to just make a documentary about the problem,” Abraham said.

“We followed them through their daily life. They didn’t hear the sad music. It was their life. We wanted to show people how they can work to fix it.”

The group traveled through Central and South America starting in Mexico. It

quickly realized that creating the fictional film based off of sex trafficking would not be as powerful as showing the world the multitude of the problem across Latin America through a documentary.

Many times, the filmmakers and crew put themselves in dangerous situations, including run-ins with pimps, those being trafficked and the authorities.

After the film, Abraham asked for words that would describe how the audience was feeling. Words, such as sad, hurt, ashamed and confused were suggested from different members of the audience, most expressing their lack of knowledge about sex trafficking before the film.

Richardson, a sex trafficking survivor, spoke after Abraham, talking about

how she was pulled in to trafficking and also how she survived it. Coming from a broken home, Richardson ran away and began working on the street.

“The abuse can come from anyone, a family member, a significant other, a pimp,” Richardson said. “He gave me attention, and as a teenager, I ate it up. It’s all I wanted.

And when he changed my name, it made me into an adult.”

Life was beginning to wear on Richard by the time she was only 18 years old, despite her driver’s license stating she was 23 years old.

“The only thing someone ever told me was ‘once a hoe always a hoe, and that’s all you’ll ever know.’ So I did the only thing I knew what to do.

I stayed in that life for three

more years. I didn’t know what else to do. How do you sit in front of a job application trying to fill out past job experience? It’s reality, and for three years suicide became one of the only options.”

It was at the same she was thinking about suicide that Richardson found herself at a clinic where she got the news of a positive pregnancy test.

“It wasn’t AIDs. It should have been. So many of my friends had it. I was pregnant,” Richardson said.

“Today, that child is 12 years old. She’s president of her sixth grade class, and she knows my story because it’s her story. It’s the fight in her that created the fight in me.”

Comedian’s humor creates strong connection with students Chriss Haddeland Senior reporter Laughter filled Ice Auditorium as the Wildcats were thrown into the comedy of a MTV show host April 28.

Linfield College had the opportunity to host comedian Geoff Keith, a star on MTV’s “Disaster Date,” for a night of inappropriate laughs and fun.

Keith told a variety of stories that made his audience laugh with mixtures of gender, racial and sexual humor.

Some of his jokes varied from this path but still made the audience chuckle.

“He had a wide range of jokes that were guaranteed to get someone to laugh,” sophomore Kameron Bates said.

“He was able to make the audience laugh because he shared parts of his life,” senior Zach Manley said.

“The stories were true and were not forced.”

Like any good comedian, Keith used audience

members as starting points to his stories, and he picked on those who obviously disagreed with his views.

This was the strongest point of his routine, which many audience members took to heart.

“The comedian was great,” sophomore Madisen Stewart said. “[Keith had] great interaction with the audience and shared many jokes relatable to college students and campus life.”

Bates agreed.

“He was good at bringing the crowd into his act,” Bates said.

The majority of Keith’s jokes came from his experiences with his ex-girlfriend and traveling.

These two common themes were ideas that the entire college-aged audience could relate to and brought laughs, and sometimes tears, to Linfield students’ eyes.

This was Keith’s second performance at Linfield.

He has already pub-

lished two albums “One Hard Nipple” and “Sloppy 900s.” Keith is currently working on a third album that is to be presumably as funny as his previous two.

Keith started performing in 2003, and for the first two years of his career, he performed at AA meetings, restaurants, bars and clubs.

He has also done shows in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Nevada.

Keith was also named 2011’s Hot Comic by Campus Activities Magazine, and he has worked alongside celebrities, such as Ashton Kutcher and Chelsea Handler.

each other and the country.

He talked about the evolution of jazz and the public’s reception over time.

People were beginning to see how this music represented the country we were becoming, and it continues to do so. There are many ways to examine the problems a community may face.

“When we look at conflict in community, it is so often about the way things have been and the way things could be. It’s also about individual versus the community, but that’s a myth,” he said. “The west was won by communities and people working together. Jazz allows us to look at the world this way.”

DuRoche talked about

jazz as a metaphor with the power to change who we are, how we belong and how we move forward as a community.

“Think about what jazz does. It unites our voices and energies. It unites us.

It tells a story. It allows multiple perspectives and allows us to be part of something. In many ways, it is democracy in action,” he said. “Jazz is a process of discovery. It asks questions.

It is participative and inclusionary. All these things we really want to have happen as a community.”

Along with DuRoche on drums, Portland State University professor Darrell Grant played the piano.

Jon Shaw, a native Portland

musician, accompanied the two on the upright bass.

The combo illustrated values of community by playing various improvised songs together.

The trio discussed the idea that you can bring together different personalities to accomplish anything.

It’s about having shared values and common purpose.

“Jazz brings the element of freedom, composition and individual agency,” Grant said. “The performer gets to contribute to the making of the piece as a whole. For a jazz musician, it’s a constant search for something new.”

Jazz musicians link creativity to community Kelsey Sutton Managing editor

As part of the Lacroute Art Series, three jazz artists visited Linfield to share their thoughts about how creative expression can build community April 22 in the Delkin Recital Hall.

After the interactive discussion, they played an improvisation set.

“I want to talk about jazz as revolution,” said Tim DuRoche, a musician, artist, writer and activist. “Jazz can be all things to all people. It is all around us.”

DuRoche started the audience out with a basic description of jazz, its most famous players and the influences they’ve had on

all shared their thought processes as they played uncharted music they’d never seen before. DuRoche discussed harmonies, cadences and chords, painting a picture of the way that people work together using improvisation.

“Jazz is collaborative, collective leadership, in the same way that leadership should be collaborative and flexible,” DuRoche said. “While in the midst of improvisation, you must explore the outer limits to take you further into the next level. Musicians must listen deeply to each other in order to function.”

DuRoche encouraged everyone to incorporate music or creative expres-

sion into every group effort, whether it is a company or volunteer organization.

“Jazz gives us this space where questions can be asked and something new can emerge,” he said. “The questions that jazz asks are comparable to those you ask when living in a community. How much risk are you willing to take? How much do you plan to participate? How invested are you in the wellbeing of the whole?”

Afterward, audience members got to speak with the musicians at a social with refreshments provided by the music department.

Country band rocks stereotypes at Linfield Quinn Carlin Staff writer

Joel Ray/Senior photographer Lead guitarist Ty Adams sings during the Pro Cat Cab on April 25. Adams performed alongside his fellow Aces Up members Jason Adams, Eric Banke and Barret Nelson.

Country music filled the air at Cat Cab as students were head nodding to some great tunes April 26. The band playing was Aces Up. The band was made up of four members all with different specialties, Ty Adams on lead vocals and lead guitar, Jason Adams on rhythm guitar, Eric Banke on the bass, and Barrett Nelson on the drums.

Aces Up described itself as a contagious blend of original blue collar country music mixed with unique sounds.

It was the Seattle rock scene with a small twinge of rebellion in the music.

The band is located in Seattle but travels all across the country to perform.

Its record label, Exact Records, is located in the country music capital of the world Nashville, Tenn.

The band was excited to come to Oregon and made a statement on its Facebook page, “Let’s see if Oregon can party.” Linfield showed them it can party and enjoy a great a time.

“I don’t normally like much country music, but I decided to show up and see what the band was about.

The band totally rocked,” junior Zach Lea said. “They totally broke the normal country mold and were able to incorporate an ele-

ment of rock that set them apart in my mind.”

Another audience member also enjoyed the music.

“The guitar players were awesome. They were super talented,” sophomore Jackson Horton said. “Two songs that really stood out to me were ‘Piece of Heaven’ and ‘One Lane Road.’

They were all in rhythm and played to the vocals, and the percussion set the pace of the music really well.”

The show went well and Aces Up seemed to enjoy Linfield as much as the students enjoyed the show.

Quartet remixes classics with Linfield musicians Kiera Downs Copy editor Four musicians from the Oregon Symphony joined together to form the Mousai Remix quartet that performed April 25 at Delkin Recital Hall.

Members of the quartet first met at a sight-reading party and realized that they enjoyed playing together.

Their goal is to play within the community.

They often play with children, in elderly homes and with the children’s outreach program for the Oregon Symphony.

They like playing in a

quartet because they like to mix it up and interpret the music how they view it, they said.

With an energetic start, Mousai Remix performed the first movement of W.C. Handy’s string quartet.

There was a sense of connection and it was evident that the performers enjoyed playing the music together.

Emily Cole is a violinist originally from Seattle and has been with the Oregon Symphony for two years.

Cole began playing the piano at 6 years old, but not by choice.

She eventually switched to the violin, where she first

studied under her mother, who is a violinist in the Seattle Symphony.

Shin-young Kwon is a violinist from South Korea and studied at the Manhattan School of Music.

Kwon began playing the piano at 3 years old, then at 6 years old, learned how to play the violin. She now plays the piano but only as a hobby.

Marilyn de Oliveira is a cellist from Brazil. She came to the U.S. to go to college and has been with the Oregon Symphony for four years.

De Oliveira has been playing the cello since she was 5

Spanish cuisine is only brisk walk away from campus Carrie Skuzeski Culture editor Students were immersed in the Spanish culture for an evening during “Taste of: Spain” on April 24 at La Rambla on Third Street in McMinnville.

La Rambla is a street mall in Barcelona, Spain. The local restaurant serves Spanish cuisine with a northwest twist.

La Rambla’s menu changes on a seasonal basis. Currently, it features dishes with diverse ingredients that combine to create fitting flavors.

For example, one of the salads is made with baby spinach, apples and ham.

The meal commenced with tapas, which are not similar to American appetizers. La Rambla has cold tapas, such as salted almonds, marinated olives, roasted beets and an assortment of cheeses.

Hot tapas include grilled cauliflower, stuffed mushrooms,

steamed clams, sautéed garlic shrimp, spice-rubbed steak and seared duck breast. Tapas will sometimes account for an entire meal in certain bars in Spain.

A unique part of the menu is La Rambla paella. It is a large dish originating from Valencia, a state in Spain, made with rice with shrimp, clams, chorizo, green beans, peppers, onion and saffron.

Patrons can order a large or small serving of paella to share with a group.

“I had learned about the Spanish dish paella in my high school Spanish class and it was fun to be able to try it,” Carey said.

For desserts, La Rambla offers churros, almond or chocolate tortes, vanilla custard, orange flan, apple bread pudding and ice cream with salted almond caramel or chocolate sauce.

Students reviewed that La Rambla’s prices are not too high, although it is a classy

restaurant.

“The restaurant was pretty upscale in my opinion. The lighting was pretty dim, and there were candles on the tables,” Carey said.

Students enjoyed the decorations, although the music did not contribute to the atmosphere.

“It is pretty dark and well decorated,” senior Nora Burnfield said. “The bar is really neat looking. The music, however, doesn’t really match the Spanish theme.”

Wildcats who participate in the “Taste Of” trips say they provide new tastes and opportunities, which is always a positive experience.

“For people who are interested in learning about other countries and cultures, the “Taste of” trips give them the chance to do so in a fun and really inexpensive way,” Carey said.

years old.

Her older sister plays the violin and her father told her that she could play the same instrument as her sister or something bigger. So de Oliveira chose a larger instrument.

Jennifer Arnold, who plays viola, is from Ohio and has been with the Oregon Symphony for eight seasons.

Arnold first started playing the violin. During a summer camp in high school there were not enough violas so the violins had to switch back and forth. Arnold decided to just stick with the viola.

The members of the Mou-

sai Remix string quartet think that the future of classical music as a popular genre is having an open mind in attracting an audience and encouraging it to look up what it’s interested in or pieces it’s heard, but also just having fun.

Linfield’s own string quartet then played “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber, which is often used in film and television.

It was used in “Sicko” (2007), “Elephant Man” (1980) and has been heard in episodes of “Southpark” and “How I Met Your Mother.”

The Linfield quartet consists of sophomore violinist

Sasha Meyer, junior violinist Lauren Pak, freshman violist Richard Liang and sophomore cellist Alyssa Townsend.

Mousai Remix and Linfield then combined their quartets to play “Adagio for Strings” again.

The members of Mousai Remix advised the Linfield quartet on how it can improve playing together and gave it some examples.

Mousai Remix finished the concert by playing the second and fourth movement of Handy’s string quartet.

Young voice sings of love in new album Tyler Sedlacek KSLC staff The topic of love often plagues the minds of young girls throughout their teenage years, but most cannot express it in such a delicate and soulful way as 17-yearold singer- songwriter Olivia Millerschin does in her new album, “Yes.No.Maybe So.” The Michigan songstress is set to open on a nationwide tour opening for Teddy Geiger starting this April.

Millerschin has a soulful voice similar to some of her folk-acoustic predecessors like Sara Bareilles or Colbie Caillat.

Millerschin’s songs have a light airy feel that is reminiscent of teenage summer days. She has a sound similar to that of acoustic group Garfunkel and Oates and, like the aforementioned, has a knack for humor with songs like “Screw Valentine’s Day.” Her music isn’t comedic, however. She has an ability to analyze love and look at life and success and the future; all things that kids on the brink of adulthood think about.

She doesn’t approach these subjects like a normal teenager, however. She has a maturity about her, and her voice moves you away from images of teen trou-

“Yes.No.Maybe.So” album cover bles to seeing her lyrics as truly relevant to the transformation into adulthood.

Although only 17 years old, Millerschin has gotten critics to take notice.

In her short career, she has been nominated for three Detroit Music Awards and performed at numerous festivals throughout the country.

The album hits its best moments early with her upand-coming hit “Screw Valentine’s Day” and is at its best on the fourth track “I Can Say.” The song tackles the perils of letting others dictate your path and hold you back from your future.

“I was once a tree, rising from the ground,” Millerschin sings. “Winter, spring, summer, or fall, I still grew tall till you cut me down.

Are you really happy now?”

The album has a bit of an up and down feel to me. It

isn’t well-paced and jumps from fast to slow and deep to light hearted without much guidance for the listener.

This pace certainly doesn’t take away from her talent. Millerschin is a well-versed songstress and the album has the ability to capture the attention of the listener for the duration.

To hear Olivia Millerschin’s “Yes.No.Maybe So.” tune into 90.3 KSLC or listen online at www.linfield. edu/kslcfm and look for her opening nationwide on the Teddy Geiger tour beginning this month.

Myths about pregnancy dispelled There are some pretty common myths about how women can get pregnant, whether by accident or intentionally. For example, getting pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat. While most college students probably realize the absurdity of this myth, there are others that seem legit. This may be because some are so similar.

A common myth about preventing pregnancy is if you have sex while a woman is on her period, she can’t get pregnant. While it might not be a common occurrence, this is not a practical preventative method. The egg is fertilized while it is in its descent down the fallopian tube. Sperm can live up to five days after being ejaculated into the vagina, and some women can become fertile four days after the beginning of their period.

This means that another egg has been released from one of the ovaries. This is similar to the myth of using the ovulation cycle to prevent or ensure pregnancy.

Women have varying cycles on an unseen level.

Ovulation at around 14 days after the start of a period is not a rule for most women. As mentioned above, fertility can occur in as little as four days. Therefore, this is not a reliable method to predict when a couple can conceive or when

it can prevent pregnancy.

The withdraw or pullout method is when a man removes his penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation.

This seems like it would work, except for that a little bit of fluid that comes out of the penis during stimulation. This fluid has a chance of carrying sperm in the urethra from a previous ejaculation. And we know how long sperm can possibly last.

It doesn’t require much sperm for a woman to become pregnant, either. In the end, only one little guy is required- or allowed- to fertilize, but because millions are in each ejaculation, there could be hundreds left in the urethra. And there is always a chance some could make it to the egg.

Positioning after or during sex does not have an effect on whether a couple

gets pregnant. To improve the chances of conceiving, some people believe that if a woman inverts herself it will help the sperm find its way.

Aside from lying down for a few minutes after sex, positioning will have no bearing on pregnancy chances.

Additionally, positions, such as standing, will not prevent a pregnancy either.

When there is a chance of becoming pregnant in any of the above scenarios, the idea that getting pregnant can’t happen from having sex once is easily dismissed.

In fact, there is even a greater chance of getting pregnant given the amount of time that a woman is fertile during a cycle and how long sperm has to find the egg.

Stories disturb even the darkest readers Paige Jurgensen Staff writer “Haunted” varies from other Chuck Palahniuk novels because it’s a series of 23 short stories that are tied into one larger story, rather than one unbroken story. However, it shares the same feature as Palahniuk’s other novels.

Once one is finished reading it, he/she experiences a weird desire to take a boiling hot shower to rinse off the filth and shame gained from reading “Haunted.”

Unfortunately, “Haunted” is so perversely twisted that it may be literally impossible to rid oneself completely of the indignity that the novel brings, and one must continue to live their life knowing that he/she is just as perversely heinous as all other Palahniuk fans.

The surrounding story of “Haunted” is of 19 individuals who sign up for a

“Haunted” book cover writers retreat and are then, unknowingly, locked underground with limited food and resources by their host.

They are charged with writing a great manuscript in three months before they are released.

After a moderate amount of protest, the group decides to lean into the experience under the idea that, after they are found, they can sell

their story for millions.

So, like any rational group of would-be writers, they willingly resort to such activities as murder, cannibalism and self-mutilation, essentially anything to make their story even more traumatic, and therefore, sellable.

Each of the individuals takes time out of their busy schedules of making babysoup to share their story.

One of the first stories, entitled “Guts” is probably the most well-known story from the novel, as it had been published previously in “Playboy.” The story is of a young man masturbating himself nearly to death and having his insides all but sucked out. According to Palahniuk, it is based on a true story he heard during a sex addicts anonymous meeting.

As a reader, you would think that the stories from

thereon out could not get any more terrifying, or dare I say, haunting, but you would be wrong in your assumption.

So ridiculously wrong.

The stories of “Haunted” are more than just gore and sex, but several, such as “Obsolete,” hits the reader psychologically and makes them look at their life and their choices, and perhaps, even send them spiraling into an existential crisis.

Palahniuk has an extraordinary ability to reach into a reader’s soul until he finds the darkest and most voyeuristic part of it before tenderly treating it to his work, which exposes full spectrum of human travesties.

Reading Palahniuk’s many works may send you to Hell, but at least you’ll know what kind of shoes to wear.

Seniors play with passion, leadership

of the Year and was a finalist for the Ad Rutschman Small College Female Athlete of the Year.

In both her sophomore and junior appearances, Prestianni started all of the games at third base.

During the 2011 championship game, she slammed a home run that allowed the Wildcats to get ahead.

This season, she hits .480, with 58 RBIs. Prestianni also had a career high of stolen bases with 13.

Being a part of Catball has been one of the high points of her college career.

“Not only have we accomplished a lot on the field, but I have gained so many best friends these past four years,” Prestianni said. “Our team is literally a family, and if I could go back and start all over from my freshman year, I would.”

Ridout is a three-year letterwinner for Catball.

After her parents signed her up for tee-ball, she continued to play.

While at Montesano High School in Washington, Ridout lettered 10 times in softball, basketball and soccer.

She served as team captain

for the softball team and was voted most inspirational player. Her team was also 2008 and 2009 state champions.

During her freshman year at Linfield, Ridout appeared in 31 games and batted .556 with her limited appearances. This season, she scored five runs for the Wildcats.

Her role this year is serving as a back-up outfielder and pinch runner.

“Catball has been a once in a lifetime experience,” Ridout said. “It is a unique experience to be around a group of people who all share a passion for the sport.”

Game two saw the ‘Cats pile up 11 more runs—the same total as sophomore starting pitcher Aaron Thomassen’s strikeouts.

Thomassen fired seven strong innings of two-run, eight hit ball. He didn’t walk any Pioneers on the day. Junior Justin Huckins and sophomore Joseph Stevick pitched the final two innings, ceding one unearned run and striking out two.

Sophomore Corey VanDomelen and Lindell both collected three hits on the day, and senior Nate McClellan went 2-5 with three RBI. The bottom of the lineup also contributed

to the destruction — seniors Michael Hopp and Jordan Harlow each had two hits on the day.

Junior Zach Brandon (6-2, 2.70 ERA) followed up his nine-inning outing against George Fox with a stellar seven-inning performance against the Pioneers. Brandon allowed eight hits and walked two, while striking out just one.

But, he gave up two runs.

Huckins and sophomore Garrett Miller both threw one inning out of the bullpen without allowing a run.

Junior Clayton Truex went 3-4 at the plate with two runs scored to cap a 5-10 weekend (with four walks). The entire team exercised patience at the plate in the 8-2 victory, drawing a total of 11 walks to go with seven hits.

Ivanna Tucker Sports editor The leaders of a softball team are not necessarily the pitchers. Seniors are often looked to as role models for younger teammates and are the ones the team look to for guidance. Seniors Karleigh Prestianni, Rachelle Ridout and Megan Wallo serve as key roles on the team as a third baseman and outfielders.

Prestianni is a three-time National Fastpitch Coach’s Association All-American and was also honored as a 2012 College Sports Information Director’s of America Academic All-American.

She began by playing teeball at a young age. When she was 8 years old, Prestianni began to play softball competitively.

“I always played on pretty good, competitive teams,” Prestianni said. “I just loved the game from the start.”

While at Grants Pass High School, she played softball

Prestianni and volleyball, earning six varsity letters. Her senior year, Prestianni was selected for all-state and helped lead the 2008 team to a state championship.

Prestianni was recruited

by Linfield, starting her junior year with head coach Jackson Vaughn.

“I knew I would get a good balance of school, softball and social life at Linfield,” Prestianni said.

As a freshman, she hit .424, made 19 home runs and 61 RBIs. Prestianni scored her first selection as All-American, was the team’s Rookie

time on the team, Wallo has jumped in with full force.

During her first season with Catball, she appeared in 36 games, starting in 10.

Experiencing postseason for the first time was one of her career highlights.

“It’s the part of our season that the whole team works for all year,” Wallo said.

“Being able to represent Linfield and the NWC across the country every year is something that a lot of people don’t get to ever say or do.”

This season, Wallo has scored 45 runs for the Wildcats and hit 18 RBIs. She has also made 18 completed stolen base attempts.

Each one of the seniors serves as veteran role models for their teammates. They can next be caught in action at the NCAA Regional Tournament on May 9.

“The three of us are leaders on the team, just in our own unique ways,” Wallo said.

Each Linfield starter joined in the scoring barrage in game one by notching at least one RBI and scoring at least one run.

Besides Wilson, the middle of the order — Wylie, Fisher and junior Kramer Lindell—dominated as usual, combining to go 8-13 with two walks, seven runs scored and five RBI. Sophomore Chris Haddeland (10-1, 1.26 ERA) picked up a quality start, going six innings and giving up five runs (two

“Being a part of the team two years ago when we lost to Chapman in the regional finals, I personally feel like I have some unfinished business to take care of when we go to regionals this year, Wilson said.

“Keeping the momentum we have been building by taking care of business next weekend in Lewiston will be an important factor to how we play in Texas this time around,” he added.

Athletes feel the tension of Freshman transfer leads Wildcats academics at semester end through conference tournament May is imminent. The end of the school year is approaching Linfield students as quickly as the Lakers were ousted from the playoffs.

This is the time of the semester when many classes enter crunch time (which is the name of a good song by J. Cole, in case you were wondering. Yes, you were wondering).

Instead of finding ways to channel adrenaline on the field or the court, students study, write, revise, question and do whatever it takes to succeed. All of this is sometimes accompanied with procrastination, while swearing under one’s breath and eschewing sleep.

But for student-athletes who compete in the spring, they experience the academic grind while grinding on the field or court as well.

It is literally crunch time for student-athletes at all times.

Sophomore Halsie Peek, a runner for the track team, said, “I found myself staying up late every night to finish up homework and getting up early to lift before class. This took a toll on my body, and it was sometimes difficult to get a good workout in while also staying alert in class.”

In no way do I envy the amount of work these athletes have to do, but I do admire the work these athletes do in every way.

How do student-athletes accomplish all of this?

“I constantly had to give myself cheesy little pep talks to get it all done. I think I’m a person who can get overwhelmed easily, but I always

Sports Commentary

Tyler Bradley Sports columnist know that I can kick it into overdrive to get it all done in time,” Peek said.

Senior Brinn Hovde, a member of the golf team and the cross-country team, said, “My planner is my go-to for keeping my life in check. If it wasn’t for my planner, I would be lost, and I’m sure I would be significantly more overwhelmed.”

Many student-athletes have to sacrifice certain aspects of their life for the good of their teams and for their own individual efforts.

“I always feel overwhelmed, especially toward the end of the school year.

Honestly, when it comes to playing a sport and trying to stay on top of your schoolwork, something has to suffer, and that’s usually your social life,” junior baseball player Nick Fisher said.

Hovde added, “The stress can get you a bit when you finally get to start your homework at 10 p.m. and you are realizing how much you have to do and how late of a night it is going to be. It can be a vicious cycle.”

The idea of stress is permanent at Linfield, and Hovde, Fisher and Peek are a few examples of what college can ask of a student-athlete.

Linfield athletes are at the top of the NWC in many sports. Linfield is also a fantastic academic institution. I only take part in one of those aspects (and there are many more aspects to Linfield, including but not limited to music, theater and community service).

As the end of the year approaches, each week is the same as the last. Schoolwork piles up just like the week before, and the days are seemingly four hours too short. Is it still impossible to make a day 28 hours long? It is?

Bummer.

But our student-athletes find ways to balance their time and crush their academic and athletic responsibilities regardless of the circumstances so the workload can definitely be completed. If they can do it, that should be inspiration to keep working.

“Being busy with track and having a heavy academic load has shown me just how much I can accomplish in a short amount of time… it’s important to take study breaks and enjoy a night of relaxation. Otherwise, we can easily get burnt out,” Peek said.

There is only so much time left in the school year, but heed Peek’s advice. Take a break and a deep breath right now.

Because soon it is time to put on the J. Cole song and get to work. The end of the year is near.

It’s crunch time for all of us now.

Tyler Bradley can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.

Chris Haddeland Senior reporter Entering any sport as a freshman is difficult, but entering half way through the year is even more challenging. Freshman Adam Ruben faced this challenge as a member of the ’Cats golf team.

Ruben joined the team in the spring after transferring from College of the Desert.

“The main reason I came to Linfield is because of its awesome education,” Ruben said. “The coach also was really nice to me when I was trying to figure out where I wanted to go in the spring. The golf program itself has a really good winning history, and I thought it could help me achieve what I want and to get to the next level of play I want to be at.”

From the start of the spring it was evident that Ruben was going to be one of the Wildcats’ top golfers.

In his first tournament with the ’Cats, Ruben shot 12 over par during two rounds, posting the best score for the Wildcats on the weekend.

“The experience so far has been really good. The team all year has been supportive, and we’ve all had fun this spring,” Ruben said.

Ruben’s success carried over throughout the rest of the season, where he shot the lowest score for the

Ruben Wildcats in three of the seven tournaments.

“The golf season went awesome this year,” Ruben said. “I owe it all to my teammates for making it a fun season and making it an enjoyable transition from last semester to this semester.”

Ruben came on strong at the end of the year for the Wildcats, finishing in first place in the conference tournament, his highest finish while playing at Linfield.

“Winning was awesome. The first couple of holes were a struggle, but I thought I did a great job of letting those go and attacking the rest of the course,” Ruben said.

The Wildcats finished second in the conference championship. The ’Cats finished five strokes behind Northwest Conference champion Whitworth.

Ruben took the individual title with two 71 rounds, finishing two under for the

weekend.

“I’m really excited to have won the NWC conference. Coming down the stretch, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was at and what anybody else was at,” Ruben said. “I was just trying to have fun and to not over think things because I know at the end of the day it was just another competitive round of golf, and I will have four more years to compete in the NWC Championship.”

Ruben still isn’t sure if he will be invited to the national tournament, but the idea of competing at division three’s top level is exciting for this freshman.

“I’m not sure if I get to go to nationals or not yet. Since I’ve been here for half a season, it’s going to be tough,” Ruben said. “I’m crossing my fingers in the hopes I get to go.”

The Wildcats ultimately did not reach their goal of winning the conference, making them back-to-back champions. The team has a great opportunity next year, with no seniors on the roster.

“What I look forward to next year is having a fun season with the team and hopefully bringing back the conference title as a team with them,” Ruben said.

Wildcats lose final match of season Tyler Bradley Sports columnist

The Linfield men’s tennis team played one more game against the California Institute of Technology on April 29 and lost 5-4.

This game’s score of 5-4 is the closest match the tennis team has had all year.

With the loss, the team record for the year ends at a brutal 0-13.

“It was nice to know what it’s like to lose a close one,” sophomore Lukas Kleinman said.

Senior Zach Lyons and Kleinman continued their success as a duo and dispatched their doubles opposition, 8-6. A second doubles victory for Linfield was taken by sophomore Micah Roos and freshman Tim Hawkins by a score of 8-4.

Lyons and Kleinman also won their singles matches.

Kleinman triumphed in a 6-2, 6-1 match, while Lyons prevailed in a 6-7, 6-2 (10-5) affair.

When asked about his success on the court in his two matches, Kleinman said, “My volleys were on point…my serve was not at

its best, it was good enough to let me attack the net often.”

When asked about his close three-set match, Lyons said, “When it got to the third set, I was extremely focused…I knew it was my last match so I told myself I was going to win no matter what.”

These were the final matches for Lyons’ career.

“It felt really good to get both wins. This season has been really tough so it was a really satisfying way to end my career,” Lyons said.

Lyons’ doubles partner, Kleinman, felt good about the end of his season as well.

“It feels good to go into the offseason with two wins.

I’ll be working a lot harder this offseason so I can enjoy this feeling more often next year,” Kleinman said.

The tennis team loses Lyons for good, but Lyons was positive about his four years on the tennis team.

“Thankfully I was able to use what I had learned from my four years to pull out the [final match],” Lyons said.

New coach takes risk for basketball program Sarah Mason Features editor

“I would not have left my entire family, a top program in the state of California and a home my wife and I bought a year ago, if I didn’t see an enormous amount of potential here for the men’s basketball program,” said Coach Shanan Rosenberg, former head coach of Foothill Community College’s men’s basketball program in Los Altos, Calif.

Rosenberg will begin his 20th year of coaching basketball for the Linfield men’s team this fall.

Before taking the position, he finished his 11th year at Foothill College.

“I have taken a program from ashes to the penthouse,” Rosenberg said. “I know there is great poten-

Rosenberg tial to build a tremendous basketball program and community here at Linfield.”

He plans to commute between Los Altos and McMinnville every two weeks while he finishes his faculty contract at Foothill.

In July, he, his wife and three sons will move into a house in the McMinnville community.

Linfield has been at the top of a short list for Rosenberg as far as coaching positions go so he was willing to uproot his family for this opportunity.

Rosenberg is eager to begin working with the team and develop a better understanding of his personnel.

“I have a lot to learn from the players and people here as quickly as I possibly can,” he said. “My goal is to put the best team in short order on the floor that can be as competitive as possible.”

Junior Cory Hendryx is looking forward to playing under Rosenberg’s leadership during his final season at Linfield.

“Coach Rosenburg brings a lot of basketball knowledge and energy to

Linfield College,” Hendryx said. “I feel that he will fit in well on and off the court, and I look forward to working with him.”

The Northwest Conference is not a new ball game for Rosenberg.

He had three successful years as an assistant coach at Lewis & Clark College so he is familiar with the other competitors in the conference.

“I enjoy coaching collegiate athletes because of their skill level and the intensity they bring,” he said. “No matter who I have out on the court, I will make sure the athletes represent high energy, are purposeful, spirited and selfless players.”

Rosenberg has been a part of the basketball scene for many years, and he is

able to bring both playing and coaching perspectives to the program.

He played one year of basketball at California State University Northridge and three years at University of California—Davis.

Rosenberg graduated from UC Davis with a degree in physical education and soon after joined the coaching staff at Cañada College in Redwood City, Calif., as the assistant coach for the men’s basketball team.

His coaching career began at 22 years old and hasn’t slowed down since.

Rosenberg held assistant coaching positions at Chico State University and Lewis & Clark.

He was then named the head coach at Foothill College, in which he turned a struggling program into one

of the top teams in the state.

The team ended the season with a 3.5 cumulative GPA. “I am a big believer in intrinsic motivation,” Rosenberg said. “It is important for my players to learn how to manage academic endeavors and put their energy into prioritizing their various commitments.”

Rosenberg hopes to bring similar success to the Linfield program.

“I want to honor the past but build toward the future,” he said. “I love the game in and of itself because it combines so many wonderful components. I want to use past leadership and legacies as a catalyst under my direction.”

’Cats stomp Pioneers in three-game series Tyler Bradley Sports columnist Another series, another sweep and another school record.

The Linfield baseball team finished off the best conference record in school history in a threegame series against Lewis & Clark that could only be described as “lopsided”.

The ‘Cats (32-5, 21-3 NWC) traveled to Portland and

destroyed the Pioneers 18-5, 11-3 and 8-2 and extended their winning streak to 10 games. The Pioneers fell to 9-31 and 6-18 in NWC play.

The talent disparity was never more evident than in game one of Saturday’s doubleheader. The ‘Cats scored at least one run in every inning except during the fourth. This included a seven-run sixth inning where Linfield sent 11 men to the plate. Senior Tim

Wilson (2 home runs on the year) and juniors Jake Wylie (6) and Nick Fisher (4) all blasted home runs during the game.

Wilson mashed and dashed in game one. He went 4-5 with three runs scored and four RBI to accompany four stolen bases.
