Black Student Union returns to campus Max Milander For the Review A reorganized multicultural club is striving to give black students a voice at Linfield’s McMinnville campus. The Black Student Union held its second meeting of the year Sept. 20 to discuss possible future club activities and leadership roles. About a dozen students attended.
Club co-president junior Monterill Anderson decided to restart the Black Student Union because of his past difficulties adjusting to college life at Linfield, among other reasons. “It’s obvious that there’s not a lot of black students out there,” he said. “And, I just wanted to create a safe environment where we could talk about issues relating to us and get new students adapted to the
lifestyle around campus. “There’s also a bias about what African-American culture is, so the club’s also for people who want to find out about what it’s really like.” Membership in the Black Student Union is not restricted to black students. Everyone is welcome to join regardless of racial or ethnic background. More than 20 students attended the Black Student Union’s first meet-
ing on Aug. 30. In both meetings, discussion revolved around what club members wanted the Black Student Union to accomplish. One of the top priorities for most members was creating a strong voice for black students around campus. Another popular suggestion was reaching out to young >> Please see Union page 6
Greek Life sees low numbers during rush Paige Jurgensen Staff writer Formal Recruitment for Linfield’s four sororities and four fraternities ran from Sept. 11-16. For the sororities, however, Formal Recruitment ended with less than ideal results. The first step in sororities gaining new members is Formal Recruitment, which lasts only one week at the beginning of the new school year. Next comes Informal Recruitment, which happens when a sorority doesn’t have it’s maximum number of members, which is 82 for all sororities. During Informal Recruitment, sororities can offer spots to up to 22 more women. None of the sororities had 82 members after Formal Recruitment and will continue to have open recruitment through the end of the semester and into the spring semester. The number of women matched into sororities this year was the lowest it had been in the last 10 years. “If you’re comparing this year’s recruitment to a 10-year average, or if you want to compare this year’s Formal Recruitment to last years,” said Carl Swanson, the Greek Life adviser, “in defense of this year’s Formal Recruitment, “The number of women we matched this year was lower than the number of women we matched last year. It depends on how you define success.” Throughout the week, 129 women signed up for Formal Recruitment. However, for reasons unknown to the Greek Life staff, more than 70 women withdrew, were not matched to sororities, or dropped out from recruitment. >> Please see Greek page 4

Junior Jeni Picken spends Animal Assisted Therapy Day visiting with animals from Pet Peace of Mind at the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing in Portland on Sept. 17.
Therapy animals spend the day visiting Linfield nursing students Jaimie McDonald For the Review Students learned about the benefits of using therapeutic animals to treat patients, after a gamut of therapy animals visited the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing in Portland for Animal Assisted Therapy Day on Sept. 17. Visiting animals included two llamas, Smokey and Rojo, as well as Chihuahuas, golden retrievers and a therapy cat. The llamas
were dressed in tutus, decked out in flowers and had their nails painted. Legacy Hospice, a medical group providing hospice care for terminally ill patients in McMinnville and Portland, tabled at the event. Its new program, Pet Peace of Mind, provides assistance and care for the pets of terminally ill patients. Junior Jeni Picken, a nursing major, stopped by the event after
class. For her “it was really happy and exciting.” Picken experienced the benefits of therapeutic interaction with the animals, saying it helped her release the stress of school for a few minutes. Picken also said the llamas “gave kisses and were fun to interact with...this was an experience that makes Linfield so unique.” Jaimie McDonald can be reached at linfieldreviewnews@gmail.com.

Costs outweigh benefits for Hall of Fame
Phone: (503) 883-5789 E-mail: linfieldrevieweditor@gmail.com Web: www.linfieldreview.com
When walking into the HHPA, you might not expect to be stopped dead in your tracks by the upgraded Hall of Fame and Hall of Champions. However, the Hall of Fame’s new decorum and two 55-inch touch-screen monitors have students stopping in awe and wondering where the heck the money that went into creating this spectacle came from. Luckily, the students don’t have to worry about whether the cost came out of their tuition, as the TopCat Club funded the $45,000 renovations. TopCat Club is an organization that raises money

for athletic advancements here at Linfield. While we thank TopCat Club for helping the athletic facilities grow and advance, we wonder why this money wasn’t put toward uses that would benefit a larger number of students rather than highlight just a few. “I think Linfield sports have accomplished a lot, so the Hall of Fame is a huge accomplishment that should definitely be highlighted,” sophomore Riley Denson said. “However, I do not think it is worth pouring as much money as we did into it.” “I think some of that money could have been put toward improving our
athletic facilities or used to bring on more staff members in the HHPA to expand the hours that it is open,” Denson said. This leads us to question if this renovation was made only in an attempt to recruit more students versus to help educate and improve conditions for current students. Why wasn’t this money used for better equipment in the gym? Or at least used for the equipment already ordered to arrive sooner? Could this money possibly have been used just for repairs in the weight room? These are just a few suggestions that would have
benefited more students rather than just recognizing a smaller group of students and former students. Linfield is a college filled with exceptional students, all of whom should be recognized and respected equally. The gym should be a place where everyone feels welcome and equal in working toward a healthier lifestyle. Ultimately, the Hall of Fame is a great chance to show school spirit, but did it really need to cost as much as it did. We think not. -The Review Editorial Board

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I don’t know what could be worse, being forever an outcast or never being free. Why do I even worry about this, right? I am a Mexican-American, 20-year-old female college student living in the U.S. I am free, I’m not an outcast, I could do as I wish and I have every possible opportunity available to me. Other young adults don’t have this freedom. There are about 2.1 million undocumented students residing in the U.S. About 65,000 of these students are DREAMers. They are undocumented children who are graduating at the top of their classes, yet are unable to afford col-
lege because the government refuses to fund the education of students who don’t have a signed piece of paper proving that they are citizens of the U.S. The DREAM Act is a bill that would not only allow undocumented students to receive financial aid, but it would also eventually grant them U.S. citizenship and permission to enlist in the military. Many undocumented students quit before they can even be told that they don’t qualify for the same opportunities as the rest of their fellow classmates. In the early years of high school, they learn that upon graduation they will be
restricted from receiving any form of government aid to attend college. As a result, they drop out of school and their talents get lost in the labor of farming and factory work. Critics of the DREAM Act complain that illegal immigrants are ruining the economy through welfare. They say that each year thousands of immigrants cross the border, find haven in a small town or city, and then proceed to feed their children with welfare checks that come from taxpayers’ annual income. However, immigrants aren’t the only group in society who benefit from welfare checks. About 61 percent of
welfare recipients are Caucasian. Congress refusing to pass the DREAM Act is not about the concerns they express. It is about the few who still seem to have an issue with race and progress in this country. Passing the DREAM Act would help improve dropout rates. It would encourage students to stay in school and graduate with enough success to proceed on to a postsecondary education. As a result, undocumented youth will one day purchase homes, cars and other goods. They will fill the job market with talent and the drive to move for-
ward in this economy. With a positive outlook, they won’t need the welfare that critics complain about. Many may say that because these people are undocumented, it should not be our responsibility as a nation to pick them up. But what does that say about us? Are we really willing to continue on this path of ignorance because, God forbid, our egos get broken down when there are more people to compete with? Point blank, work harder. We should be supporting the intelligent mind and be challenging it, not belittling it. -Blanca Esquivel
MEDIA & POLITICS
Online freedom of speech needs more regulation
YouTube is one of the top video sharing websites in the world. It has allowed millions to voice their opinions via video and share aspects of their cultures. Recently, an anti-Islamic video was posted on the website, raising controversy about the issue of free speech online. Following the posting, the U.S. Ambassador of Libya was assassinated, and three other Americans were killed. The website restricted access in Egypt and Libya. Other countries blocked YouTube completely. These incidents have caused debates about the issue of freedom of speech online.
Ivanna Tucker Sports editor People have the right to express their opinions and views on societal issues. However, there should be a limit on how far a person goes with their expression. When the Founding Fathers wrote the Bill of Rights, they included the amendment about freedom of speech so that people can
have a voice, not cause violence and tension between countries. YouTube should have better surveillance of the material that is being posted onto the website. With this video being posted for millions to see without realizing what it was actually representing, people question the actual authority YouTube has over the material on its website. According to the New York Times, YouTube decided to keep the video up because it did not meet the definition of hate speech. The website is said to prohibit hate speech, which has grey areas within the definition itself.
In this new digital area, the loose arrangements of freedom of speech can cause a worldwide crisis. There shouldn’t be extreme limitations on freedom of speech. However, there should be a more defined definition of what is not acceptable. Do we really want to cause more tension between countries? In the Supreme Court case “Bradenburg v. Ohio,” it was ruled that the government couldn’t punish people for using inflammatory speech unless it will initiate “imminent lawless action.” Even though the video did not explicitly do this, it did cause violence against the
United States to break out. This incident should cause the government to rethink the definitions that it has established and make them more distinct. There is no distinct connection showing that the video posting caused the havoc in Libya and Egypt, but it is one of the main explanations that people are using. YouTube should be more accountable for the content that is posted on its website. All the company has to do is screen and analyze what is posted on its site to ensure that it is not going to cause millions to become offended.

IMPROVEMENT
Strict rules leave students with dull dormitory rooms Upon arriving at college, there are so many new, exciting things. There are new people, new experiences and new surroundings. Even your living space is new, but new is not the same as exciting. Everything about a dorm room screams boring: the white walls, the dull grey, faintly patterned carpet, the plain window coverings. While we can cover the carpet to an extent and decorate the windows with a number of different curtains and fabrics, the walls can only be slightly hidden. In most residence halls around campus, the walls are
Kaylyn Peterson Copy chief a dull white color with little promise, and only a small number of dorms have rooms with accent-colored walls. Decorating walls can result in fines regardless of how we try to make the situation better. My suggestion is to allow the students to paint and dec-
orate the walls of their rooms as they see fit. Of course, this couldn’t go unregulated, that would just make for pure chaos. Now living off-campus for my junior year, this opportunity became a reality for me and I only had to follow a few rules. The rules are simple: if you paint, don’t do anything you can’t cover up, and cover the floors and baseboards and paint over it at the end of your lease. Where I live there are no restrictions on most other forms of decorating, allowing me to have Christmas lights in my room.
While I’ve experienced no fires caused by my Christmas lights, I have them plugged into a surge protector. It is not actually the light bulb itself that is a fire hazard, but the wall outlet that could short because of an overload. This brings me to the idea of regulating the use of decorative lights in dorms and the suburbs as well. While the lights sometimes do leave lines on the walls from use, if painting your dorm was allowed, this wouldn’t be an issue. Instead of prohibiting decorative lights, Res Life could work with students to make
them safe. There are a few colleges around the United States that allow their students to paint the walls of their dorms to make it seem more personal and feel more like home for each individual student. Since I don’t see Linfield taking such a policy change into consideration until after at least a few more years and many meetings on the topic, don’t go painting your room just yet. There are plenty of other ways to decorate your room without racking up fines. One cheap alternative is to decorate with fabrics in your favorite patterns and the new
trendy wall decals that are sold everywhere. Pictures of home and friends are obviously a musthave for living in a new place, as well as postcards, posters and tapestries. Using easy-to-remove wall stickers to attach everything will help you to avoid fines at the end of the year. Your time in college is supposed to be an exciting one, don’t let your dorm dull it down. You’ll be spending many hours in your room, so you might as well enjoy it.

TRAVEL
Foreign exchange students bring world to campus Traveling can be far too expensive—especially for full-time college students. Tickets to desirable destinations, such as locations in Europe or Asia, can cost upwards of $ 1,000—and that’s just the airfare. Lodging, food and other activities can make the price tag of traveling much too steep for a college student who needs to look through couch cushions just to find coffee money. It can be done, of course. Fortunately, many schools provide opportunities for students to go outside the country. However, for some, including myself, journeying the world will have to wait a while, but this doesn’t mean that other cultures aren’t available for exploration. If you’re not able to travel abroad for some time, and Google Earth isn’t cutting it for you, there’s another way. At Linfield, and most other universities, we are lucky enough to have access to vessels full of information about foreign cultures: people. They provide us with way more information and insight than a Wikipedia search or a book can. This semester, I am fortunate to be living with an exchange student from Norway. Before meeting her, I knew very little about the country. Every day, I ask her questions about the customs in Norway and find that she is very willing to answer all of them. I am exposed to a new language, new music, foods, clothing and customs every time we talk. “Last year I lived with a student from Tibet and learned a lot about where he came from, as well as
Chrissy Shane Features editor China’s oppression on his homeland. He also helped me with my Chinese,” sophomore Brian Hoover said. “It was a great experience.” Interacting with students from different countries can provide us with interesting perspectives about our own culture. In our family and groups of friends, we don’t often talk or question the culture we are all familiar with. Dialogue with exchange students can challenge our thinking about things that we normally hardly give a second thought. With many exchange students from all around the map on campus, there are plenty of opportunities to interact. Linfield has work study jobs that allow you to work with international students, as well as hosts culture weeks and multicultural receptions and other events that allow you to experience a different culture. Studying abroad is an amazing experience— everyone should be given the opportunity to do so. However, students shouldn’t limit their ability to learn about a foreign country to studying abroad. There are countless sources of information from around the world right on campus: your peers. Chrissy Shane can be reached at linfieldreviewfeatures@gmail.com.
SOCIAL
Linfield hellos help campus get friendly At the beginning of my freshman year I was asked multiple times if I had learned about the “Linfield hello.” At first, I had no idea what anyone was referring to, but was quickly enlightened. The class ahead of me, and many before that, had learned about this phrase in Colloquium. It essentially stands for the idea that nearly everyone you run into on campus says hi, regardless of if they know you or not. For whatever reason, teaching about the Linfield hello is no longer incorporated into Colloquium classes. Now, perhaps because of this, the Linfield hello is not entirely present in the culture on campus either. I have noticed, especially at the end of last year and this year so far, that people are increasingly keeping to themselves. Yes, Linfield is a small community and the majority
Carrie Skuzeski Senior reporter of the students are friendly. No one has ever been rude to me as I walked down the sidewalk, and I appreciate that many people do seem friendly. However, I cannot help but feel somewhat dismayed whenever I see people glancing awkwardly side to side or at the concrete or pretending to text in efforts to avoid a greeting. The worst is when I say hello to someone, and it’s obvious they heard me, but they seem to choose not to respond. I acknowledge that some people may not hear
perfectly, or are caught off guard, but it still can dampen my spirits a tad. I do not mean to be critical or bash people who do not go out of their way to say hi to strangers. Starting college can be socially stressful, and it usually takes a long period of time to meet a lot of people. I am a generally outgoing person but do not expect everyone to be that way. In fact, I prefer people to be different. The fact that everyone is unique and has their own traits and opinions is the reason I find communicating with others interesting. It is refreshing to speak with people who don’t chatter like I do, because usually whatever they say is well thought out. Most of the shy or soft-spoken people I know are caring. Every person has a right to live as they please, but it would be great to have a
friendly campus. Yet I must press on with the notion that our small college should pride itself on being tightly knit. Most people tell me they chose Linfield because they enjoy the small community feel. So it is our duty to make others feel welcome and noted. There are only 2,664 students enrolled at Linfield, and I like to take advantage of seeing their familiar faces. Saying hi or smiling to fellow passersby can make their morning if not their day. Let’s create a friendly campus atmosphere. Hellos, waves, winks, even the “what’s up” nod makes a difference. I am not sure why the Linfield hello lecture was removed from Colloquium, but I wish it would be reinstated. Perhaps we all need a friendly reminder to be more friendly.

Lecturer shares importance of nonproliferation Samantha Sigler News editor Nuclear nonproliferation is not a word most people use in everyday conversation. However, it was the topic of the night in the lecture by Chris Kessler on Sept. 19, in which the lessons learned from 35 years in war and the importance of 30 years of nonproliferation were emphasized. Kessler, private consultant at Northraven Consulting LLC and professor at University of Washington Jackson School of International Studies, explained who proliferators are and why it matters, why states seek nuclear weapons and what global zero, a world without nuclear weapons, would mean for the world. “Even if you think it’s something that shouldn’t be done, if it’s something that hasn’t been done and someone starts to do it, they’re proliferating,” Kessler said. Proliferators around the world come from Iran, Iraq, India, Israel, France, Russia and the United States. Kessler asked the audience to think about whether it is a question of who possesses nuclear weapons or if it is all about disturbances to international stability.
“The general argument is having this, getting this, seeking this weapon is a bad idea because it perturbs international stability,” Kessler said. “And international stability is a good thing. We don’t want more tension [and] conflict in the world.” Good examples of where the breaking point around the world may be in today’s society include Libya and Egypt. Using places, such as these as examples, Kessler also explained how stability isn’t always a good thing. “You’re always forced back into making value judgments of the context,” Kessler said. In addition to explaining proliferation and whom proliferators around the world include, how states use nuclear weapons in national strategy was also a big topic within the lecture. Often times, states use nuclear weapons for national security and international threats to balance power against other states. According to Kessler, having nuclear weapons also helps states to assert power and practice hegemony within the world. Nuclear weapons can also be used for nuclear

Kessler went on to explain that North Korea is a good example of a state that uses nuclear weapons to both keep its military happy and protect itself against other countries.
Although nuclear weapons are a prominent part of societies around the world, Kessler explained how some states are beginning to express a desire for global zero: a world in which no nuclear weapons exist. President Obama has also suggested that getting rid of all nuclear weapons
will not happen in his lifetime, although this is a goal he wishes to accomplish one day. Kessler went on to explain that because nuclear weapons have been made before, people will know that it will always be possible to make them again. “A lot of people, includ-
ing former secretaries of state, are arguing that we should get rid of all nuclear weapons in the world,” Kessler said. “But my questions is what’s going to be harder: getting there or staying there?” Samantha Sigler can be reached at linfieldreviewnews@gmail.com.
Linfield history professor receives teaching award Alyssa Townsend Opinion editor Linfield College wouldn’t be the well-recognized institution it is without the people who work hard every day to better its programs and students. Among these supporters is recent Edith Green Distinguished Professor Awardwinner Deborah Olsen. The Edith Green Distinguished Professor Award is given to one outstanding professor every year since its founding in 1980. Since being at the college in 1992, Olsen has held many positions necessary to the well-being of Linfield, including former
history professor, competitive scholarship adviser, and previous director of academic advising. Olsen is also known and praised for her role as supervisor of the Linfield Colloquium program, which helps assimilate freshmen into the college lifestyle, while at the same time making friends and learning about the plethora of opportunities available to Linfield students. “Once I took the academic advising role, I realized Colloquium needed to be organized and streamlined,” Olsen said. Olsen did just that by writing a recommended syllabus, doubling the salary
Olsen of advisers, and condensing the program. “I really wanted to strengthen the role of the advisers. I listened to them more to find out what was working. I then created an evaluation and revision com-
mittee to help Colloquium grow,” Olsen said. “Deborah Olsen was an incredible individual to work with. She helped design Colloquium, in an effort to help with freshmen retention and transition from high school to college. It gives them a sense of belonging and makes Linfield home. She organized Colloquium from the very beginning and it has now transitioned into the great program it is today,” Liz Atkinson said. Atkinson is a chemistry professor, as well as a Colloquium adviser who has previously worked with Olsen. As a competitive scholarship adviser, Olsen helped
many Linfield students apply and win the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship. “I helped students with scholarships by just setting deadlines and helping them realize it was going to take at least 20 rough drafts. I also loved to brainstorm ideas. It was my favorite part,” Olsen said. “She took on a 10-person job alone with the Fulbright Scholarship,” Atkinson said. Even though Olsen is no longer a competitive scholarship adviser, she has established a scholarship to help the students of Linfield even in her absence. The Deborah M. Olsen Public
Service Internship provides students with the opportunity to expand their education to practical use in the real world. By learning outside the classroom, students are preparing themselves for their future competitive field of choice. “I was totally surprised to win the Edith Green Award. It is important to me that my academic work was recognized even without a 10-year track,” Olsen said. “Linfield is a very special place in my heart. I have very mixed feeling about retiring. [I’ve] loved it all,” Olsen said. Alyssa Townsend can be reached at linfieldreviewopinion@gmail.com.
Greek: Formal Recruitment sees lowest turnout in history << Continued from page 1 “Last year we used the exact same system, we had the exact same number of women sign up and we matched over 75 women,” Swanson said. “The system
worked last year. It didn’t work this year. It’s hard for me to put my finger on it, but if I had to guess, I think it’s too time-consuming and complicated.” During Formal Recruitment, 48 women were matched with sororities.
Through Informal Recruitment, as of Sept. 19, an additional 16 were matched for a total of 64 new sorority members. “We ran the system the way it was supposed to be run, and at the end of Formal Recruitment, we were
able to match a high number of women with sororities,” Swanson said . “I don’t think the current generation of college women are willing to commit themselves to this complicated, time-consuming system that we use.”
Although numbers were extremely low during recruitment, Greek Life is still optimistic about the futures of Linfield’s sororities and fraternities. “If the Greek organizations live up to their mission statements and val-
ues,” Swanson said, “then what they’re about is scholarship, community service and sisterhood or brotherhood.”

Science department gets competitive Sarah Mason Staff writer Much like its nationally ranked sports teams, heavily sought-after nursing program and excelling music ensembles, Linfield’s science department is gaining a competitive spirit. In September 2011, three biology professors began an eight-month long process that would result in a near quarter of a million dollar grant. Professors Anne Kruchten, Catherine Reinke and Jeremy
Weisz, all assistant professors of biology, put together a clear proposal with an even clearer vision about how the National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program would benefit Linfield and the community as a whole. Their hard work paid off, literally, when the biology department found out it had been awarded the $223,182 this past August. After sitting down with a NSF sale’s representative and custom designing the new
microscope, students and faculty anxiously await its anticipated November arrival. “Seeing what you are studying and talking about in class makes the learning more experiential,” Reinke said. Reinke is in her first year as a science professor at Linfield. One of the aspects Reinke found most attractive about Linfield was the collaboration between students and faculty in research. Because of Linfield’s small student body, professors are able to work more closely
with students in the lab. With a higher quality microscope, students and faculty have more research capabilities and opportunities to publish their work in better journals. “The more we do, the more we get our name out there, and the more respect we get as Linfield for doing good work,” Weisz said. The more recognition Linfield can get in the science world, the likelier it is to receive additional large-scale grants. Big-name foundations,
such as the NSF, fund schools that demonstrate their ability to utilize large grants like this one. Better equipment will continue to strengthen the school’s biology department, making it more attractive to prospective students, especially those on campus tours. “We have a lot of really good equipment that students have access to,” Kruchten said. “Students on campus tours will see everything the science program has to offer.”
Exposure to such sophisticated equipment will help undergraduates in their futures at graduate school. Any Linfield student is allowed access to the microscope after the required software training. Upon the arrival of the new microscope, the science department hopes to invite the community to see just what the students and faculty will be up to.

Professors help women with AIDS Off-campus
apartments say yes to cats
Samantha Sigler News editor
Last summer, two of Linfield’s nursing professors spent their time attempting to stem the HIV/AIDS epidemic through volunteering in health clinics in Africa. Neal Rosenburg, associate dean of nursing, and Kim Kintz, assistant professor of nursing, spent three weeks traveling around in Douala, Buena, Bamenda and Shisong, Cameroon. While there, the two visited antenatal clinics where they helped take care of pregnant women who have HIV and women who were at high-risk of acquiring HIV. They distributed information and education on healthy modes of infant feeding in situations where resources are limited and encouraged women to practice exclusive breast-feeding. “This was my first visit to Africa [and] one of many to come in the future,” Kintz said in an email. “It was an incredible learning experience for me and one I think students would appreciate.” Rosenburg and Kintz also administered phase one of a psychometric study among the African women, which will gauge the level of knowledge, attitudes and beliefs they have about HIV and feeding options they have after giving birth. Rosenburg got involved with this project by making contact with several universities and non-governmental agencies after applying and being wait-listed as a Fulbright Fellow, a program that sends a graduating

Rosenburg initially received funding as a faculty member in 2008, which helped him with his first trip to Cameroon. “This was a cross-sectional study looking at knowledge, attitudes and
beliefs of HIV and stigma among Cameroonian nursing students,” Rosenburg said in an email. This was Rosenburg’s fifth time visiting Cameroon, and both Kintz and Rosenburg plan to return for phase two of the same study. In phase two they plan to have focus groups
to better study pregnant women. “I would highly recommend students to explore the opportunities to travel and become engaged in the research process with mentors along side them in the field,” Rosenburg said. Samantha Sigler can be reached at linfieldreviewnews@gmail.com.
When students graduate or move off campus, many will experience signing a lease for the first time and will sometimes have the option of keeping pets. Linfield is now giving the option of having cats in housing for those living in the Legacy Apartments. The Pet Pilot Program was launched for the 2012-13 school year, effective Sept. 13. “The cat policy was designed with two purposes in mind,” said Esperance Ibuka, area director for Residence Life, “as an incentive to increase students’ interest in the Legacy Apartments, as well as to enhance the experience of independent living that the Legacies offer, and as a study to determine the feasibility of service or therapy animals in college housing.” While the Pet Pilot Program welcomes cats to the Legacy Apartments, it does not come cost free. According to the Pet Housing Contract given to potential cat owners, there are two steps in the process that must be completed before a cat can enter the apartment. Other than filling out a contract, students also must pay a non-refundable $300 pet deposit, just as they would if they were living off campus. The other condition for allowing cats in the Legacy Apartments is a vet-
erinary verification, in which the veterinarian will check and record whether the cat has been spayed or neutered, received flea treatment, has all vaccinations and is generally in good health. Linfield Residence Life has the power to revoke participation in this program at any time if the conditions of the contract are not met, or the care of the cat or apartment is neglected. Also, as part of the contract, students agree to the cat being an “indoor cat” and agree that “residents will not abandon their cat at which time they no longer reside in the approved apartment, but will make every effort to secure a safe and permanent home for the animal.” “While some students have expressed verbal interest in the program, the housing office is yet to receive any official requests to participate in the program,” Ibuka said. “We anticipate receiving requests in the near future.” With the new option of having pets in the Legacy Apartments, the possibility of this option applying to other suburbs is out of reach for the time being. “At this stage, it is still early to determine the expansion of this pet policy into other suburbs,” Ibuka said. “Given that it is a pilot program, we plan to run it for a couple of years before we can consider branching out to other areas.” Kaylyn Peterson can be reached at linfieldreviewcopy@gmail.com.

Constitution Day Debate focuses on war on terror Jessica Prokop Editor-in-chief Although it has been 11 years since 9/11, many Americans are still questioning some of the actions that have taken place in the fight against terrorism. One major concern is whether the war on terror has undermined the U.S. Constitution. This was the question that two guest debaters were asked to discuss during the Constitution Day Debate on Sept. 21 in Riley 201. Steven Knott, professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, and Ofer Raban, associate professor at the University of Oregon Law School, presented their opinions and supporting evidence to a crowd of about 80 attendees. Raban kicked off the debate, arguing that the war on terror has undermined Americans’ rights and liberties. He pointed to the 4th amendment, the Due Process Clause and the 1st amendment as areas that have been violated by
America’s leaders since 9/11. In the process of the American government’s attempts to recalibrate the balance of things, it has assaulted the civil rights of its people more so than any other time in history, Raban argued. Raban used the Bush Administration’s secret surveillance program as an example of unreasonable measures. Raban explained that the Bush Administration did not have permission to spy on millions of Americans, and in December 2005, the New York Times ousted them for it. However, the Bush Administration argued that it did not violate the 4th amendment, and many Americans couldn’t prove that they were being spied on, so the resulting lawsuit was dismissed on personal grounds. In fact, the National Security Agency continued operating a data center to house recorded phone calls. And, until 2008, it was in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act, Raban said. Even Senator Ron Wyden was quoted as having said Americans would be
“
a full criminal trial,” Raban said. However, the Bush Administration often

stunned if they knew how their phone calls were being interpreted, Raban said. Raban also argued that the Bush Administration ignored the Due Process Clause that says no one will be denied life, liberty or property without ensuring some form of fairness and the 1st amendment. “Everyone is entitled to
bypassed such procedures if someone was perceived as an enemy combatant. For instance, political speech is supposed to be protected, even if it shows support to violent organizations. But, many people were punished for political ideas without proof of actually helping violent organizations. Even some animal
activists were accused of using terrorist tactics, Raban said. Knott disagreed with Raban’s position. He recently wrote a book that defends Bush’s actions. He said he thinks Bush and President Obama have acted within the Constitution. He pointed to Article II of the U.S. Constitution for support of his argument. “In certain unique situations, obedience to written law is not highest in consideration,” Knott said. Written law is not observed in several historical events, like Abraham Lincoln’s suspension of Habeas Corpus. “Sometimes you have to amputate a limb to save the whole body…this is the same for political systems,” Knott said. Knott argued that there are occasions when the president has to act on his own for the greater good. “9/11 was the pinnacle of a series of attacks in the last five years,” Knott said. “Bush asked, ‘How do we prevent this from happening again?’” At that point in time, the
government was convinced a similar attack would happen again, and it would be worse. There was talk of weapons of mass destruction, Knott said. Even Obama has continued many of Bush’s methods, Knott added. “If we are going to rethink the standards of our presidents’ greatness, we should just sandblast Mt. Rushmore and put up more constrained presidents,” Knott said. Raban rebutted, saying that there is still a question of whether it was justified to violate rights, and people need to distinguish the difference between the war on terror from wars like WWII. “The war on terror started with 19 lunatics. It’s not the same. There was no foreign military,” Raban said. “You throw yourself on American opinion. Checks exist in the power of impeachment,” Knott argued. The Constitution Day Debate was co-sponsored by the PLACE Legacies of War Pilot project and was catered by Ribslayer. Jessica Prokop can be reached at linfieldrevieweditor@gmail.com.

Grads serve Peace Corp in Dominican Republic Carrie Skuzeski Senior reporter Linfield College has prepared 14 graduates to serve in the Peace Corps. Opportunities after college can be hard to come by, but the Peace Corps can provide help in eliminating some of the search. Ashley Ensminger, class of ’09, is in the Dominican Republic serving as a Community Economic Development volunteer. She works with a women’s co-op in the production of dried fruits and
marmalades—the area’s specialty goods. Ensminger also aids the women in accounting, marketing promotions and quality control and helps them to improve general administrative processes. If any senior students are interested in joining the Peace Corps they should apply by Sept. 30 to qualify to serve when they graduate. Apply and be considered for an assignment launching in the spring and summer of 2013, by visiting www. peacecorps.gov/apply.
A Peace Corps recruiter will be on campus Sept. 26 from 2-4 p.m. at the internship fair. The recruiter will also host an information session from 4:30-6 p.m. after the fair. Peace Corps covers travel payments to and from the United States, a monthly stipend and health care benefits. It also offers volunteers money to readapt to life in the United States when they are finished with their service. Many universities team up with the Peace Corps to supply volunteers with graduate school benefits. If you would

nce a dirt lot on a field, the Linfield Community Garden is now well on its way to growing into something more thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of one core group of students. The Linfield Community Garden, which started as a project for the Garden Club a couple years ago, soon hit a road block when the club became less active. Taking note of the barren land, junior Lexi Sayer decided to lend a helping hand last spring. “It seemed terrible to let the amazing space go to waste,” Sayer said in an email. “When I started, I just hoped to get a couple plants in the ground.” However, with the help of a few others around campus, the project grew into “a full on thriving garden,” Sayer explained. Sayer recruited one of her former dorm residents, sophomore Alex Lazar, to help her during the summer when she would be away. Lazar was more than willing to jump aboard the project. Jessica Prokop/Editor-in-chief The two planted some starters donated by the Salvation Army Sophomore Alex Lazar examines the produce available to students and community members in the Linfield Community Garden located next to Renshaw Hall. Community Garden at the end of May. They also found some seeds in the shed to add to the mix. Neither had gardening experience, Lazar said. “We just planted and hoped for the best,” he said. “There were no plans beyond that.” While Sayer was gone during the summer, Lazar took over and tended to the garden with the help of junior Amanda Maxwell Sundman. Lazar and Maxwell periodically watered and weeded. “I couldn’t be luckier with the friends I have collaborating on this project,” Sayer said. “Alex and Amanda are superstars. They bring so much enthusiasm and passion to the garden. They are willing to not only contribute ideas, but a whole lot of hard work. They are go-getters.” The duo also worked with Bill Masullo, general manager of Linfield Sodexo, and Chef Noah Bekofsky for summer upkeep. They encouraged dining services to help itself to whatever was ready so it wouldn’t go to waste. “The best part of this garden is the amount of interest and collaboration it continues to inspire,” Sayer said. “We have faculty members from all departments weighing in: Dean Hopp, Bill and Noah, and students from all different disciplines.” Because of the growing interest in the garden, the group decided to make it a formal club again so it could develop a sustainability grant and receive financial assistance through the Associated Students of Linfield College. With its club fund money, the group purchased supplies, such as gloves, gardening tools and seeds. To generate more awareness of the space, the trio also created a Linfield Community Garden Facebook page and had a booth at the Linfield Activities Fair. When the first week of school rolled around, Lazar said he was a little worried about what the garden would look like. However, zucchinis, tomatoes, squash and other vegetables started to pop up. “Our work was finally starting to show,” Lazar said. By the second week, there was an overabundance of tomatoes. Lazar started encouraging people to pick them. Although the garden is open to everyone in the Linfield community, Lazar advises people to be reasonable about what they take. “If there’s a lot, take some,” Lazar said, “but no one wants to be the person to take the last piece.” Although the garden has come a long way since its start, Lazar said there is still a lot of work the group is hoping to do to improve the space. However, it hasn’t had a problem with recruiting additional help. In fact, a group of students, alongside Sayer, planted a wider variety of vegetables for winter gardening during Linfield’s annual Taste of Service event last weekend. Other improvements the club plans to make are adding pathways and benches throughout the garden, planting more raised beds and painting the fence. In addition, Lazar said that this fall, the Intro to Studio class taught by Totem Shriver, adjunct professor of art and visual culture, plans on making small wooden sculptures to put around the top of the fence. These sculptures will match the large-scale ones that already adorn the garden, donated from another art class last spring. “We have access to an amazing space on campus. There is so much potential,” Sayer said. Lazar agreed and added that “the hard part of all of this is that we aren’t gardeners. Jessica Prokop/Editor-in-chief We have no green thumb. We are total novices.” Students in the Intro to Studio class taught by Totem “Everything is new. It’s a learning experience,” Lazar said. Shriver, adjunct professor of art and visual culture, created sculptures, such as this one for the Linfield Community Garden.

LINFIELD STUDENTS JOIN THE STONE WOLF VINEYARD PACK Chrissy Shane/Features editor
I
f you’ve ever been in a grocery store and seen a Stone Wolf or Rascal Wine bottle, you’re looking at the workmanship of Stone Wolf Vineyards: a local winery located in Lafayette, just a 10 minute drive out of McMinnville. The grapes are grown at The Lindsay Estates, home to Stone Wolf Winery owners Linda and Art Lindsay, who planted the vines in 1985. Located in the coastal hills of the Willamette Valley, it is the highest vineyard at 1,100 feet. Being local is just one of the many things that makes Stone Wolf Vineyards special. “We’ve had a lot of Linfield students [working for us] over the years,” said Jessica Cechovic, director of operations at Stone Wolf. Linfield alumnus Zach Evans, who graduated last year, has been working with Stone Wolf since 2005 and continues to return to the winery despite a busy workload. “I like the atmosphere,” Evans said. “People are cheery and down to earth here.” While most students are getting into the swing of classes and football playoffs are beginning, the Stone Wolf Vineyards team is preparing for one of the busiest times of the year in winemaking: Crush, which is fast approaching. Crush is the long and meticulous process of turning the harvested grapes into wine. Once harvested, the grapes go through a series of processes: crushing, pressing, fermenting, clarification, aging and bottling. “It’s a rush to get as many grapes processed as possible,” said Evans, who often works at the distemper during Crush. Each process can be broken down into further painstaking procedures, which Stone Wolf Vineyards completes without a blemish with award-winning wines as the end result.

ts 2010 Rascal Pinot Gris won a gold medal in the 2011 NW Wine Summit and its Stone Wolf Pinot Gris was named Best in Class in 2011—just a few of many awards in addition to high-praising reviews that Stone Wolf has received. “We find it especially satisfying to carefully follow each lot of grapes from fermentation, to the bottle, to the glass,” said the team on the Stone Wolf Vineyards’ website. Junior Steffan Schirle, who is working his second Crush at Stone Wolf, feels the same way. “It’s really rewarding. I can bring my mom home a bottle of wine and say, ‘I made this,’” Schirle said. “I see the fruits of my labor… literally.” “It’s neat for them to be a part of something local while they’re in school,” Cechovic said. “It’s good job experience, and once you’re of age, you get to enjoy the work.” Evans’ experience has landed him an exciting opportunity to work in the wine industry. In January, Evans and Linfield senior David King will be traveling to Las Vegas where they will work for Southern Wine and Spirits, Nevada’s leading wine, spirits, beer and beverage distribution company. Although Evan is excited to put his economics major to work at his new job, he knows that he’ll always be a part of the Stone Wolf family. “I’m happy that I’ll be able to focus all on the wine industry, but I’ll definitely move back to the Willamette Valley,” Evans said.

‘I Love Lucy’ still cash cow for CBS
Culture
September 24, 2012
Season starts with ‘Old Saybrook’
Joe Flint McClatchy Newspapers
The last new episode of “I Love Lucy” was broadcast over 50 years ago, but the classic sitcom is still a cash cow for CBS. Speaking at Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference in New York on Sept. 20, CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves said “I Love Lucy” is still delivering about $20 million in revenue to the company’s bottom line. Reruns of the show still run on a regular basis on the cable channel TV Land. During much of the interview, Moonves stressed the value of CBS’ new and old content, particularly as new platforms such as Netflix and Amazon are spending heavily for product. “The world is a beautiful place, we’re going to get paid more and more and more,” Moonves said. That said, CBS is still more conservative than other programmers when it comes to selling content to online streaming services and Moonves does not plan on changing that strategy. For example, ABC parent Walt Disney Co. recently sold the first seasons of its dramas “Revenge,” “Scandal” and “Once Upon a Time” to Netflix. CBS does not sell episodes of any series currently on its air to a streaming service out of fear that it could hurt potential rerun sales down the road. “Syndication is still the big dog here versus the online stuff,” Moonves explained. One key reason CBS takes that approach is that its dramas such as “NCIS” and “CSI” have sold very well in syndication in part because the shows are not serialized but rather self-contained. Serialized shows such as “Revenge” don’t traditionally sell well in syndication but are popular on services such as Netflix where viewers can consume several episodes at once. Heading into the fall season, Moonves said he expects CBS to again finish first in viewers. The network, which also has the Super Bowl this season, is also predicted to lead the way in the key 18-to49 demographic. Despite that, CBS doesn’t always get the same critical attention that other networks receive. “We are the least-sexy network, we get less buzz,” he said, quickly adding, “all we do is get more viewers and more money.” Moonves said he would be interested in acquiring a general entertainment cable channel to complement CBS’ assets but didn’t see any deals in the near future because the price tag would likely be too high. “We’re not going to take our money and spend it in a silly manner,” he said.
Joel Ray/Senior photographer Sophomore Tim Singer threatens to kill his family and visiting couple in Linfield’s reproduction of Woody Allen’s “Old Saybrook.” The student production is a comedic play that deals with marriage, infidelity and forgiveness. The play was directed by senior Chris Forrer, who chose this play because of the insight it gives into our own personal relationships.
Paige Jurgensen Staff writer Linfield’s theatre season kicked off this past weekend with “Old Saybrook,” written by Woody Allen and directed by Linfield senior Chris Forrer. This was the first main stage production that Forrer has directed, although he has appeared in several other plays. Directing a main stage play was a longtime dream for Forrer and his passion for the craft was embedded into the final product. The first play of the year, known as the “ice-breaker,” is a chance for freshmen actors and actresses to assimilate into the theatre program. “Being that’s it’s a onemonth rehearsal period, there are certain caveats on what shows you can look at,” Forrer said about his play choice. “It needs to have pretty equitable gender distribution. This one has four men, three women. It needs to be within six to eight people because we like to get
younger people involved in the ice-breaker to sort of welcome them in and that play fit the bill.” “Old Saybrook” was fairly short, only about 45 minutes long, but each second filled the theatre with laughter from the audience. The stage was beautifully set down to every last candle stick and scandalous photo by the stage manager senior Daphne Dossett. The play is a witty show about a playwright, infidelity, and geese. The show included some harsh and sexual language that may not have been suitable for children. The show welcomed a newcomer to the Linfield theatre circuit: freshman Logan Mays. Mays played the comically awkward, Hal, who, along with his wife, Sandy (portrayed by sophomore Mariko Kajita), stumble into an awkward situation. Mays’ character demanded that he be able to play both funny and serious, which Mays exceeded in. He hails from Rocklin, Calif., and is

been in a big show before coming to Linfield. They have absolutely knocked it out of the park and I’m really proud of them.” The theatre department is already hard at work with it’s next performance, “Kickin’ Up Sand and Tellin’ Lies,” which is due to debut in early November.

Annual Peace Walk and Fair sparks conversations of change Kelsey Sutton Managing editor
Kate Straube/Photo editor McMinnville citizens take part in a peace walk Sept. 23. The event took place in the historic downtown district.
The Interfaith Advocates for Peace with Justice held its eighth annual Peace Walk and Fair at McMinnville Cooperative Ministries on Sept. 24. People brought signs advocating for peace and walked as a group up and down Baker and Adams streets. Drivers honked and waved as the peace walkers made their way around downtown McMinnville. Afterward, keynote speaker Paul Barker, Afghan-
istan Country Director of Save the Children International, talked about the current conditions in Afghanistan. He shared his opinion on a variety of topics including challenges in the path to peace, the war on terror, transitioning U.S. forces out of Afghanistan and the peaceful people of Iran. “Afghans need to use their forces to protect themselves. We can aid them, of course, but it needs to be done on their own,” Barker said. “Foreign militaries have overstayed their welcome in
Afghanistan.” The Peace Fair was held after the speaker, and people were invited to talk to the various organizations about their purposes. Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, George Fox Center for Peace and Justice, Amnesty International, Unidos Bridging Community, Hands and Words Project and the Yamhill Valley Peacemakers (YVP) were among the groups represented at the fair. “Peace is more than the absence of war. Peace is people being free enough and
safe enough to help each other,” said Ellie Gunn, one of the leaders of YVP. Gunn previously worked in the library at Linfield. She has been doing peace work for more than 45 years. “Peace needs to happen for everyone in this world to live together,” Gunn said. “Think globally, act locally. What we can do is to start in McMinnville.” Linfield students are always encouraged to participate in peaceful organizations and events in the community.

‘Pieces We Are’ set to release Oct. 16 Tyler Sedlacek For the Review Seattle music duo Kris Orlowski and Andrew Joslyn will release their second collaborative album, “Pieces we are,” on Oct. 16. Orlowski leads the band with his memorable baritone voice. The rest of the band consists of guitarist Mark Isakson, bassist Tyler Carroll, Aaron O’Neil on drums and Torry Anderson on keys. Orlowski’s collaborator on the project is violinist and composer Andrew Joslyn who is known for his solo work and his work with Seattle hip-hop artist Macklemore. The album, a five-song EP, consists of a mixture of
folk-rock backed by intricate sound-scapes from a 17-piece orchestra. Orlowski and Joslyn are both well traveled in the Northwest music community, and it shows in this album. It is rich in sound and Orlowski’s writing shows off the mind of an artist who is well invested in his craft. With folk-pop artists like Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers setting the tone for the genre it would seem easy to have this album get lost in the nooks and crannies of the music world. However, Orlowski and Joslyn have approached the sound with a much more complex hand for crafting a tune. Orlowski’s voice cap-
tures the attention of any listener and draws them in with lyrics about love, loss and carving out one’s path in the world. Orlowski’s band crafts upbeat folk-pop jams while Joslyn draws in the curiosity of listeners’ ears with intricate symphonic accompaniment. Joslyn’s talent doesn’t stop at composing. On the fourth track of the album Joslyn carries listeners through winding virtuoso violin solos showing the depth of his musical talent. The album’s focal point is its musical depth and ability to leave the listener feeling positive and desperately wanting more of a band that gives them so much more than just acoustic folk-pop.
Listeners should be sure to give the album several plays all the way through. The music itself is enough to capture attention and is incredibly complex. However, the exploration of life through Orlowski and Joslyn’s lyrics also deserves complete attention from the listener. This is an album that local music fans, folk-rock fans and serious music fans in general can not miss out on. It is a must listen in the Northwest music scene. To hear Kris Orlowski and Andrew Joslyn’s album “Pieces We Are” tune into 90.3 KSLC or stream the station online from www. linfield.edu/kslcfm.

Dangers lurk behind HPV “As a woman, if I have a partner with HPV can I get it if we use condoms? If we are both participating in oral sex without a condom, do I risk getting HPV orally? If I have HPV will I get cervical cancer?” Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most commonly spread STD. There are more than 40 types of HPV. About half of sexually active American’s will have one version of this virus at one time or another. It is possible that someone has the virus without having symptoms for years. Because of this, routine testing is important. HPV can cause genital warts and some cancers. Condoms can lower the
chances of contracting HPV when used properly and every time sex occurs. This includes oral sex. HPV can be spread with sexual intercourse, anal sex, oral sex and with simple genital to genital contact. Through oral sex the virus can infect the mouth and throat. There are also vaccines that prevent common types of HPV. Cervarix and Gar-
dasil are the vaccines that can be used for women, while only Gardasil is available to men. The shots for women also protect against cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is rare but extremely dangerous. Each year about 12,000 women are diagnosed with this cancer while 4,210 women die each year from it. If not caught early enough, the chances of treatment working and survival is significantly decreased. HPV can cause other cancers as well, some even rarer than cervical cancer including vulvar, vaginal, anal, penile and some head and neck cancers. About
17,300 cancer cases a year are caused by HPV. While the vaccine route is a good idea, there are some risks that accompany that choice. Some have become sick while a few deaths have occurred as a result of the shots, but both are rare. If you are interested in receiving the shots, do some research and talk to your doctor about the risks before you make an appointment. This information and more on HPV, prevention and cancers linked to HPV is at www.cdc.gov/hpv/ index.html. Bailey can be reached at linfieldreviewbailey@gmail.com.
Hosseini’s novel tears the heart Paige Jurgensen Staff writer “A Thousand Splendid Suns” is an enlightening novel by renowned author Khaled Hosseini about women in late 20th century Afghanistan, when the Taliban controlled the country. The novel is split into two parts, beginning with the story of Mariam. Mariam’s young life changed the day that she discovered that her mother has committed suicide and is forced to live with her uncaring father. Shortly thereafter, Mariam’s childhood is taken when she is married off to Rasheed, a man who is 30 years older than her. The novel follows Mariam throughout her adolescence and early adulthood, until she meets Laila. Laila, the main character of the second part of the
“A Thousand Splendid Suns” book cover. novel, was born and raised in the same neighborhood as Rasheed and Mariam. Laila, after the sudden deaths of everyone she could rely on, is forced to become Rasheed’s second wife. Although Mariam is at first bitter toward Laila, the two women must ultimately depend on each other to survive their miserable
lives under the ultimate control of Rasheed. What makes Mariam and Laila so extraordinary is that they do not intend to just survive Rasheed, but rather to escape him. The characters of “A Thousand Splendid Suns” are feminist heroines in a misogynist culture. Khaled Hosseini is an Afghanistan national who immigrated to America as an adolescent. Hosseini’s 2003 debut novel, “The Kite Runner,” was an international bestseller and was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film. “I also think that “A Thousand Splendid Suns” is, in some ways, a more ambitious book than my first novel,” Hosseini said in an interview in 2007. “The story is multigenerational, unfolding over almost 45 years, often skip-
ping ahead years. There is a larger cast of characters, and a dual perspective, and the wars and political turmoil in Afghanistan are chronicled with more detail than in “The Kite Runner.” “A Thousand Splendid Suns” sold more than a million copies in its first week and spent 75 weeks on The New York Times’ paperback fiction bestseller list. In addition, the novel was the top-selling book on Amazon in 2007. Both of Hosseini’s novels have sold more than 37 million copies. Hosseini tackles sensitive topics like spousal abuse, rape and sacrifice. The novel is heartbreakingly real from beginning to end and should be read with caution by the faint of heart.

’Cats’ rally earns first two NWC wins Chris Haddeland Culture editor The Wildcats dropped to fourth place in the North West Conference after two disappointing losses to league opponents. On Sept. 21, two undefeated league opponents were paired together. The 19th ranked (AVCA) Pacific Lutheran Lutes came to the Ted Wilson Gymnasium for a show down with the surging Wildcats, winners of five straight games. The game was dominated by the Lutes from the get go. After going up two to one in the first set, the Lutes scored 10 unanswered points, going up 13-1. Pacific Lutheran ran away with the first set, winning 25-11. The second set proved to be much more competitive as the teams stayed even up to 18 points a piece. But, after a kill by the Lutes and an error by the Wildcats, the momentum had changed. Pacific Lutheran finished out the set, winning 25-20. The Wildcats were unable to slow down the overpowering Lutes, as Pacific Lutheran won the final set 25-16.
The Wildcats had a difficult time getting the kills they needed. Linfield finished the game with a .072 attack percentage and being blocked six times by the Lutes. “Their height definitely gave them an advantage, it was hard for our hitters to hit around the block,” sophomore libero Courtney Wanamaker said. Wanamaker led the Wildcats with 15 digs. Although it was a disappointing defeat, Coach Kimura still had some positive things to say about his team. “Our team continues to play hard. We have some young players out there competing and our goal is always to get better.” The next night matched cross county rivals Linfield at George Fox. The two teams battled in an even matched contest, taking two sets past 25 points. The Bruins outlasted the Wildcats winning 25-22, 24-26, 25-21, 27-25. The Wildcats were bested upfront, losing the blocking battle 14-5. “We are still working to find consistency with our team. Our ball control was

Wildcats to a 7-4 record for the season and 2-2 in conference play. “I think these two losses are an opportunity to critique ourselves so that we lessen the not so good things we
do and continue the things we did great at,” sophomore outside hitter Kailana RitteCamara said. The Wildcats’ next match is Sept. 26 against Pacific in Forest Grove.
They finish up the week with a home stand Sept. 28 and 29 against Colorado College and Puget Sound. Chris Haddeland can be reached at linfieldreviewculture@gmail.com.
Soccer: Lady Wildcats Wildcat Sports Schedule struggle on offensive end Monday September 24
<< Continued from page 16 With multiple attempts at the goal, the women’s soccer team had issues with actually gaining goals that were easily missed. In the second half, senior Em Fellows gained her 10th goal of the season. The Wildcats took a tough loss against the 10-time conference champion Puget Sound on Sept. 22, losing 0-1. Within the first 10 minutes, the Loggers scored their single goal that kept
them in the lead for the rest of the game. Junior Christine Tamamoto barely missed an upper left corner shot on the Loggers. Collinsworth allowed the ball to sneak right passed her as the sole goal was scored by UPS junior Lauren Swanson. Offense on both sides was lacking during the first half, and the ’Cats continued to have issues on the Loggers’ side in the second half. With new determination, the Wildcats came into the
second half earning their first corner kick of the match, but still struggled to score. This game was a season low on shot attempts for the ’Cats, with only four shots taken, and Fellows did not earn a goal in the match for the first time this season. The loss caused the ’Cats to fall to fourth place in conference rankings. Next, the Wildcats are matched up against Willamette on Sept. 29 in Salem.

Take time outs to watch soccer games
Kate Straube/Photo editor Junior Hannah Greider is one of the women’s cross country team’s top runners. She trains by running an average of 50-60 miles per week in order to stay competitive.
Runner strides beyond expectations to reach goals Sarah Mason Staff writer What started as pressure from her best friend and a spontaneous decision to run for her high school cross-country team has now turned into a serious sport for junior Hannah Greider. With more than 50 races and a semester abroad in Ecuador under her belt, Greider is entering her third season as a Wildcat runner with admirable goals in mind. As a sophomore at Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, Wash., recreational soccer player, running club member, and track sprinter, Greider was wondering what the buzz about cross-country was all about. Her best friend, Danielle Lyons, who now attends Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., stopped showing up to soccer practices because she had made cross-country her top priority. Greider signed herself up for the team the following year and took off from there. She was a natural. Greider lettered three times in cross-country and competed in the 3A district championships three consecutive years. She ran alongside Lyons, who was then the top runner for the team, in all of these races. As the newest addition to the Scots team, Greider ran steadily as its number two runner. Six years after deciding to give the sport a chance
and never even considering running at the collegiate level, Greider is now training hard to earn a top spot in conference and regional honors. As far as the team goes, she said she would love to see them take first or second in conference. Placing high is not new to Greider who competed in the Monmouth, Ore., Fourth of July race this past summer. She took first place in her division in the mini-marathon with an exceptional time of 15:25. After much training, averaging 50-60 miles per week, Greider now competes with a time of 22:50 minutes for 6k races. Greider pins all her bib numbers to her bedroom wall as a constant reminder of all the blood, sweat and tears she has put into running during the past six years. When asked why she loves running cross-country so much, she was quick to answer. “The easy answer is because I love running and competing,” Greider said. “My team is pretty much my family. Being a part of the team keeps me balanced and focused on school and everything else.” Greider has a full load this semester. She is taking courses to fulfill her psychology major and Spanish minor in between training and practices. Not only is Greider a student athlete, but she also spends her spare time assisting her second floor Hewitt residents as a Residence Adviser. Needless to say, run-
ning is a good breather and a chance for Greider to get away from her hectic schedule and reflect. “Personally, running has been such a therapeutic exercise, it’s my time to think over my week and anything that might be stressing me out and I can do it just about anywhere,” Greider said. “I’ve learned a lot about myself because when you are running an hour by yourself every day, it kind of forces you to evaluate who you are and how you’re feeling.” How can such a mentally and physically trying sport be a means of therapy? Greider has a hard time distracting herself while running just like everyone else. When she isn’t strategizing about the next opponent to pass, she is focusing her mind elsewhere. “Sometimes I forget what I am thinking about and end up zoning out in the race,” Greider said. “In high school I distracted myself by talking in Spanish in my head.” Through cross-country, Greider has learned a lot about her work ethic and willpower. Her advice to freshmen and young athletes is to not count yourself out if you aren’t the fastest or best player. Greider is still baffled to find herself running for a college team. She is thankful to her best friend for introducing her to the sport and eager to possibly compete against her at regionals, where she also hopes to see her goals through.

I have a proposal for you. By you, I mean the people reading this column. If you are reading this column, thank you. If you are being held against your will to read this column, then that’s really unfortunate, and I hope someone can come save you. But, even if you are being held against your will, I still have the same proposal for you. Jump on the bandwagon now. Which bandwagon? The soccer bandwagon, of course. There are many bandwagons in sports that end up to be disappointments. The much-maligned Pittsburgh Pirates were 48-37 at one point this year, giving their suffering fans hope for their first winning season in 20 years. 20 years! Needless to say, the Pirates are good at losing. The Pittsburgh Pirates were welcoming random fans onto their bandwagon without a care in the world. People love a good underdog. But the problem with bandwagons is that they can crash into a ditch at any point in time. The Pirates have won seven of their last 30 games, and now the bandwagon looks as promising as a car ride with an inebriated Lindsay Lohan. Which, if you didn’t know, is not very promising at all. So, now that I’ve talked about how fleeting a bandwagon jump can be, why should you listen to me and throw yourself into the amazing game that is soccer? (A better question would be “Why are you
Sports Commentary
Tyler Bradley Sports columnist listening to me at all?” but don’t ask that question, please. Don’t do it!) Because soccer is taking America by storm. This bandwagon is foolproof— an incandescent light in the bandwagon world. Last year, ESPN’s ratings for the English Premier League (England’s top teams, probably the most popular soccer league in the world) skyrocketed. The European Cup for international teams increased its ratings in America during this summer, as well. Major League Soccer (MLS) continues to grow in popularity, and we need not look any further than the examples the Seattle Sounders and the Portland Timbers are setting here in the Northwest. I will describe the Sounders success to prove my point, mainly because Seattle is better than Portland in every way, but also because it shows how popular soccer has become. The Sounders are averaging nearly 40,000 fans per game at home. To put that in perspective, the Sounders would be in the Top 10 in attendance in the English Premier League, and the English teams have existed for more than 100 years. The Sounders are in the midst of just their fourth
season. Look, I realize that one team does not portend results for the entire country. But there is evidence that soccer is going to become one of the most popular sports in America in the next 10 to 20 years. The women’s national team was a star during the Olympics, and it’s not just because Alex Morgan and Hope Solo are attractive. It has as much to do with the fact that they play good soccer, and Americans love good soccer. Here at Linfield, our soccer teams are supported very well. It’s awesome to watch our teams compete in the beautiful game, and if you haven’t gone to see them, I highly suggest that you stop studying (because that’s the only thing we do here at Linfield, right?) and go cheer on our teams. It will be your first step onto the bandwagon that’s sweeping the nation. And unlike the Pirates’ bandwagon, the soccer bandwagon is not going to crash into a ditch. The Pirates can lose games— and they often do—but soccer is never going to lose what makes it amazing. The beautiful passing, a cracking header, a powerful tackle, announcers with British accents, a volley in the top corner, incredible fans and celebrations after every goal that would bring Terrell Owens to tears they are so fabulously outrageous. So jump on board with me. Soccer is here to stay, and the good seats on the bandwagon are filling up fast. Tyler Bradley can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.

Player embraces different cultures and experiences Ivanna Tucker Sports editor Prior to going out onto the field, the 5’9 soccer player writes down all the goals that he wants to accomplish. He turns on his music and places his Beats headphones on his head, playing his designated playlist that includes “Remember the Name” by Fort Minor to pump him up for the game. Senior Danny Snelgrow has been one of the standout players on the men’s soccer team this season and follows this routine before each game. After attending a few soccer games when he was young, Snelgrow fell in love with the sport. “[After watching the games], I started to become motivated to become the best that I can be,” Snelgrow said. Born in Iceland, he has been able to experience different cultures throughout his life due to his father being in the Air Force. Snelgrow has lived in Iceland, North Carolina, Japan, Idaho and now resides in Hawaii. While in Japan, he and some friends started to put together a soccer team and he learned about the determination of Japanese athletes that he admired.
“They just live the sports they play,” Snelgrow said. “They only focus on the one sport they are a part of.” He had the opportunity to host two American college students while in Japan and help them experience the Japanese culture. After living in Japan for about six and a half years, his family moved to Idaho. He played on his high school’s soccer and basketball teams. Outside of school, he also participated in Idaho Rush, a club soccer team during both seasons. Snelgrow showed his dedication by commuting to Boise for club soccer practice and then making the hour-drive back for basketball practice. Snelgrow was selected for first-team all conference soccer in high school. He also had the opportunity to play in the all-star games for both soccer and basketball after his senior year. When he first showed up at Linfield, he stepped onto the field with the typical cocky freshman attitude but was showed up with fouls on every play he made. His sophomore year, Snelgrow showed great promise with a record-winning season. During one of the matches, he made a program record with five goals in one match.
“It felt so good,” Snelgrow said. “No matter what I was doing, the ball was going into the net.” His junior year was a tough season for the team as a whole. Snelgrow found it hard to keep everyone positive. Now as a senior, he feels that the team is one of the closest that he has been involved in. “The atmosphere is more positive,” Snelgrow said. “Everyone is starting to believe that we are good.” This past summer, he participated in a Mexican league, along with fellow teammate senior Nizar Tarhuni. “It was a whole different style [of soccer],” Snelgrow said. He played for two different teams, one with local high school students and another with players ranging from ages 25 to 35. During the course of his soccer career, Snelgrow has discovered a lot about himself as a leader and as a player. “Now my game is at a mature level,” Snelgrow said. “I recognize the small mistakes and fix them so I am more competitive on the field.” Ivanna Tucker can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.

Men’s golf gets strong start during first tournament Kelsey Sutton Managing editor The Linfield men’s golf team came in second of five teams in the first tournament of the season Sept. 22 and 23. At the end of the first day, Linfield found itself second behind Corban University with a collective score of 301. Sophomore Taylor Klopp amazed everyone with his strong start. He began with an eagle on the first hole and hit birdies on the second and third holes. Klopp hit an even-par score on the fourth and another birdie on the fifth. He ended the first day
with a score of 71, just oneunder par. Sophomore Ryan Nolan shot a 75, earning himself sixth place. Freshman Kyle Hargrave tied for ninth with a score of 77, and sophomore Tayler Pirnke shared 11th place with three others with a score of 78. Day two of the tournament brought a tight back and forth between Linfield and Corban. Corban claimed the tournament title by one stroke. Linfield followed with a collective score of 599. Klopp landed in first with a total score of 143.
Hargrave
“I’ve been under pressure before, and today it just worked out. Today was just one of those consistent rounds. I played really well
Klopp coming down the stretch,” Klopp said. “I hope to improve my consistency. I want to work on staying level-headed.” Freshmen Adrian Koza
and Hargrave joined the team this season. There were only 12 spots on the team and 14 players. After a process of playing 54 holes, two players were cut. Hargrave got to play in the first tournament, but Koza didn’t qualify to play at a tournament just yet. “Being a new player on this team is amazing,” Koza said. “The upperclassmen are super supportive and are always giving me advice. Spending four years on this team will be a blast.” Hargrave had similar feelings about the nature of the team.
“It’s a little nerve-wracking not knowing people, but it’s fun getting familiar with all of the guys,” Hargrave said. “I’ve been practicing every day and asking questions. I’m excited to compete for a spot in nationals.” Hargrave may be new, but he didn’t let that affect his game. “Kyle played great for his first tournament,” Klopp said. “We have a lot of depth and potential as a team. I’m excited to try to defend our conference title.” Kelsey Sutton can be reached at linfieldreviewmanaging@gmail.com.

Kate Straube/Photo editor Freshman defender Regan Cox attempts to steal the ball during the game against Pacific Lutheran University on Sept. 23, winning 2-0.
The women’s soccer team’s untouched record was interrupted this weekend with a tough loss but remained strong in the following game. The ’Cats took a win against Pacific Lutheran on Sept. 23, with a score 2-0. Freshman Emma Vukic made her first appearance this weekend and scored a goal against the Lutes in the 21st minute of the game. Within the first minute of the game, junior Julia Vaughan charged for the goal in attempt to make a close range shot, but was saved. Defense remained strong as sophomore Taylor Collinsworth had no goals gained on her. In the last minute of the first half, the Lutes began to seem like a threat against the Wildcats as the Lutes’ senior midfielder Mimi Granlund took a high shot but missed, allowing the ’Cats to keep a clean slate going into the second half. During the first half alone, the Wildcats made 12 shot attempts against the Lutes, who only had four. >> Please see Soccer page 13

Ivanna Tucker/Sports editor Sophomore Grant Loriaux saves the ball after a close shot by Logger forward Oliver Field during the Puget Sound game Sept. 23.
’Cats defense attempts to remain strong Ivanna Tucker Sports editor Defense was a main focus for the Wildcats as they faced two losses this past weekend. The men’s soccer team had a close shot against Puget Sound, losing 1-0. Sophomore Grant Loriaux took sophomore Scott Goodman’s place due to being injured in the previous game. The Loggers put pressure on the ’Cats’ defense, but they remained resistant to their constant attacks. Multiple goals were avoided during the first half and ended with only one goal against them. Senior defender Brad Dupea was
yellow carded with only 23 minutes left because of a hard tackle. Both teams gained tension as they worked to keep possession of the ball during the second half. Sophomore Jake Baker had the team high in shots with three, including a cross that was blocked by the Loggers’ defense. Senior Harper Taylor almost tied the game when he sent a cross toward the right side and Baker took the ball, shooting and missing it just wide. The Wildcats faced a rough loss against Pacific Lutheran on Sept. 22, losing 3-0. Joe Rayburn, the Lutes’ keeper, earned his third shutout of the sea-
son. This was the ’Cats second game being scoreless this season. Within the first whistle, the Lutes came in strong, earning a corner kick. The Wildcats reacted by attempting a free kick just a minute later but did not get a good aim at the net. Goodman made a diving save in order to stop the Lutes from gaining a higher advantage in the first 30 minutes of the game. A scoring opportunity was created but was missed. Senior Danny Snelgrow tried to make a shot from the left side, but missed. The Wildcats had organization issues on the field, which allowed the Lutes to gain their first goal against them.
Goodman got injured while sliding to stop a shot. He continued during the remainder of the half. Seven shot attempts were made by the Wildcats during the first half. Loriaux took Goodman’s place in the second half and had to face multiple shots from the Lutes right at the beginning. As there were only five minutes left on the clock, the Lutes made one last goal by their freshman forward Sean Rigney. The Wildcats will be facing George Fox on Sept. 29 at home, starting at 2:30 p.m. Ivanna Tucker can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com.
