Senate approves changes to ASLC structure Samantha Sigler Editor-in-chief The Associated Students of Linfield College Senate recently approved revisions to the ASLC Bylaws, which aim to change the structure of the ASLC Senate. Students will be voting on the changes in Fall 2013, and if approved the revisions will go into effect in Fall 2014.

The changes include restructur-

ing Senate to be similar to a class council model, which will include having 10 student representatives from each class rather than having 27 individual senators. Senators will also be elected freshmen year and hold the position for all four years at Linfield College. They will be allowed to step down if they go abroad or no longer wish to hold the position.

“I’m hoping it will bring more interaction between the student

body and Senate,” said senior Susana Fajardo, former ASLC vice president. “Students will be represented by class rather than club membership.”

The changes were officially approved May 7 after multiple discussions within Senate.

“It was a really good conversation,” said junior Jake Baker, current ASLC vice president. “It’s adding more numbers and perhaps making it more accessible to students.”

Two years ago Senate was also restructured, going from 90 to 27 members in the hopes of making Senate move more fluidly, Fajardo said. However, the ASLC Senate was not as connected to the student body as they wanted to be.

Fajardo hopes that the student body will approve these changes in the fall to allow each class to focus >> Please see Senate page 4

Students confused about summer housing As the semester draws to a close, everyone is scurrying to figure out their summer plans. Over 160 students have already decided to spend their summers working on campus. This includes research opportunities, working in Dillin Hall or working for multiple offices across campus.

Getting a campus job is often like hitting the jackpot. A student needs to only work 20 hours a week to be able to live on campus for free. Some students ultimately decide to work on campus because of the free room and board. When students are hired, they are often excited to work hard and live somewhat comfortably.

However, many of these students were shocked this year when they were assigned to live with strangers in dorms. The options for summer housing were incredibly limited and

even upperclassmen were assigned to live in Potter Hall and Frerichs Hall.

Upperclassmen especially expected more apartment options to be available.

“We have a large number of graduating seniors and soon to be seniors that are requesting summer housing. In the past, we have had students who are currently living in suburb housing that will live in a residence hall for the summer. We do not have enough apartment housing to house all suburb eligible students in the suburbs for the summer,” said Associate Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life Jeff Mackay via email to students registering for summer housing.

The email was sent late on Sunday night before registration the next day, leaving students with less than 24 hours to figure out their backup options. The chaos at registration showed that

people were ill-informed about summer housing. Students who originally wanted to live in a double apartment were scurrying to find a third roommate in order to just live in a triple in the dorms. Either way, students seem to have felt completely out of the loop.

Some of the students at summer housing registration were asking why the Hewlett Packard Park Apartments were not an option for summer housing.

These apartments would easily fit four students and even strangers would be happy to live together because each apartment would have separate rooms.

Mackay and others at registration said that the HP Park Apartments were not an option since they house visitors during conferences and camps, which bring in revenue for the college during the summer.

While this is a necessary

source of income, students were still upset that their needs were not being prioritized. One student asked why just one HP couldn’t be open for students. This would create a lot of extra housing and provide more opportunities for students to live in apartments.

Even though students are receiving free housing, it still would have been nice to know in advanced that housing options were so limited. Housing is often a factor when deciding where to stay over the summer and for that reason, students should have received the email about summer housing weeks in advanced rather than the night before registration. This would eliminate confusion and give students the opportunity to evaluate their summer job choices.

MASS MEDIA & SOCIETY

Enjoying violent movies doesn’t make you a psycho

I re-watched the “Breaking Bad” episode when Walt defeats Gus for the third time this weekend. “Could I possibly be a sociopath?” flashed through my mind as I realized I was watching three men get blown up in a retirement home. And, dare I say, enjoying it?

This is a constantly debated issue in America and all over the world today: violence and censorship in the media.

While no concrete studies have proven that violent television and video games leads to violence, organizations and advocates against media violence continue to believe there is a correlation.

The United States currently has no censorship laws about violence in the media, only censoring sex and sexual acts. While there is an age-rating system in

Olivia Marovich News editor place, violent material is more readily available to young people in our country than in many other places in the world.

So what does this mean for me, my “Breaking Bad” addiction and my neurosis about possibly being a sociopath?

I take comfort in the fact that viewers of violent material are a much larger number than the percentage of people who actually commit violent crimes.

We have to acknowledge our countries obsession with violence. It’s a very accepted part of our lives.

The “Saw” franchise made seven movies, and more blood and gore is available in media today than ever before. What is it that makes us drawn to violence?

A new study will aim to discover just that, and the results will be released later this year at the International Communication Association in London.

Some researchers believe that people may be drawn to the pain and suffering of others because it will offer some insight into their own motivations and the deeper meanings of their lives.

Others argue that by seeing negative after affects played out on-screen, people are less likely to turn

to violence in real life. The strongest argument in favor of violent media content remains that an average person would not be persuaded to harm someone else after simply watching or playing something violent. Only an individual who already had these tendencies would be pushed to that extreme.

Still, how does this apply to me?

Well, I think that writing this is a pretty good indication that I won’t be committing an acts of atrocious violence in my life, but as I said earlier, my main source of comfort is in numbers.

I am not the only person who enjoys “Breaking Bad.” Or Quentin Tarantino. And there is obviously a large enough audience for “The Human Centipede” that they created a whole second movie about is (dis-

claimer: if you are a person who watched either version of this film and found any enjoyment in it, please reevaluate your life choices).

So we can’t all be evil, right? I also find solace in the fact that at this point in history, we are doing pretty well as far as violence is concerned.

On the whole, our world is less violent at this time than it has ever been. I mean, we literally used to tar and feather people.

So I won’t fret anymore when I go to Netflix and immediately search for “Once Upon a Time in the West” when I’ve had a bad day. “Reservoir Dogs” when it was really bad. Because we all need to feel connected in misery sometimes.

NEWS

Alien invasion has potential to destroy American news In light of McMinnville’s UFO Festival that occurred this weekend, I began thinking about what would happen in light of an alien invasion. Once I began thinking about this, there was an example that shot into my mind.

On Halloween 1938, Orson Welles put on a radio play inspired by “The War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells.

In this radio play, there was an alien invasion in America, and the result was mass hysteria.

One study found that one in 12 people believed that the attack was real. Police stations and networks were

Julian Adoff For the Review receiving thousands of calls during the broadcast, but they did not know what was going on either.

I would like to know what would happen if this were to be tried again in the U.S. today. Looking at the ways that news is delivered today, the outcome would

have been quite different.

Time Magazine wrote an article on this in 2008 and said that Americans have grown too smart to be fooled again, but I disagree.

I speculate that the “news” would have not been transmitted by radio, but through television news sources. It would need to start in a very rural place otherwise no one would believe it.

Once the local news channels cover the alien invasion, a national news program like The Today Show could get a hold of the story and spread it even farther. It is very important that some

sort of national news with major credibility picks up the story.

At this point, social networks would take over in the spreading of this “news” to everyone’s friends.

In the 21st century, there is more scientific information that allows people to believe that there may be life beyond Earth. All of the ingredients needed to recreate this are here.

The reasoning that people cause mass hysteria is because of missing the disclaimer. It is very well known that when people post to social media, there would be many mistakes in

spreading the news. People would be likely to just post that there is a martian invasion on Earth, especially if they missed the disclaimer.

There would be people who tried to calm the public down, but without evidence that this is not happening, there is little that they could do to stop panic.

The use of the Internet would also amplify the hysteria beyond the U.S. boarders. The possibility of a global meltdown would be massive, and could have disastrous effects.

In this modern world, the possibility to use Facebook for evil is massive. It is pos-

sible that “The War of the Worlds” could cause an actual war and lead to military actions that could indeed cause massive destruction.

Even if destruction does not happen, both the local news station and the national news source would be blamed (even if the national news did not know it was fake).

This would change the face of American news by stripping away American’s trust in the news.

Either outcome would be disastrous to America. Either to its media, or to its citizens.

HEALTH

Take preventative measures to fight off breast cancer Cancer is one of the many diseases that’s a constant threat to society today. But the one at the front of everyone’s mind lately is breast cancer.

Angelina Jolie is known far and wide for her beauty and acting abilities, but more recently she has taken the spot light with the news of her decision to get a preventive double mastectomy. Jolie was tested for a rare mutant gene, BRCA1, which drastically increases the chances for getting breast cancer.

Due to Jolie’s discovery, she made the brave decision to cut down the risk of breast cancer by removing her breasts. But, this has caused many women to ask the question, “am I at risk?

Should I get this test?”

Before anyone jumps the gun and rushes out to go get the test to discover the BRCA1 gene, you should know it’s quite pricey— $3,000 according to a New York Times article on Jolie.

There are other preventive methods that women can take.

Breast cancer affects almost everyone in the world in one way or another.

Whether it’s you or a family member diagnosed with the disease, its victims are not limited to just women. Men can also be diagnosed with breast cancer — just look up former Cleveland Browns fullback, Ernie Green. It is important for everyone to be educated on their level of risk for the disease.

The first thing to do is to explore your family history.

While a family history of breast cancer isn’t always a guarantee diagnoses, it can be a good starting point. A Plan Parenthood nurse once told me that a good rule of thumb is to start getting a mammogram 10 years earlier

Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor than the age that your family member was diagnosed.

The second precaution a person can take is performing self-breast exams. There are many sources online that demonstrate how to perform a self-breast exam, making it easy and accessible for just about everyone.

Self-breast exams are by no means a way to locate all tumors and abnormalities, but it’s a good way to know what is normal for your breast. This way, if anything out of the ordinary does occur, the chances of you recognizing something out of the ordinary will increase.

The third, and simplest, thing you can do to be aware of your breast cancer risk is just talking to your doctor.

Doctors, especially ones who know you well, can discuss all your options to determine your risk level. This is their job, meaning they are used to any and all questions you may have.

As the medical world progresses, more and more of these types of test will appear. With the ability to determine what ailments may affect us in the future may be helpful, it is important to look all the prevention methods before making any drastic decisions. So while Jolie’s sacrifice was brave, there are other ways that everyday people can take to know how at risk they actually are.

POP CULTURE

Dove ad redefines beauty for viewers Body image is something college students struggle with on a daily basis. This issue spans the gaps of gender, race and age. It is something everyone has dealt with at least once in their life.

On April 14, Dove released the latest installment of its “Real Beauty” advertising campaign called “Dove Real Beauty Sketches.”

This video spread quickly through social media, with a vast majority of people praising the message.

Even though it has been over a month since the advertisement was released, it is still frequently popping up on my Facebook newsfeed. It obviously is striking a chord with people, especially women, and it is an interesting occurrence to say the least.

The video features women describing themselves to

Alyssa Townsend Opinion editor a professional forensic artist and he sketches them as they see themselves. Then, another person with whom the woman had briefly interacted comes in and also describes her to the artist.

The women then compares the difference between how they see themselves and how the others presumably see them.

Ultimately, this video is saying we are our own worst critics. This is entirely true.

We judge ourselves by the ideals society has set. Admit it, you have done it yourself. We have a tendency to see our flaws in comparison to the images of perfection thrust upon us by the media at large. Realizing this, and working to develop a more positive body image is a worthwhile endeavor and I applaud Dove for taking on this difficult mission.

However, there are a few things I would have liked to additionally see in the ad.

Although the main women in the ad showed a little diversity, older women were not used in the ad and all of the women were slim. There was not enough diversity of age and body shape to really make an impact on all types of women. By not using images of a wide array of women and types of beauty,

the ad has already lost a little significance.

I thought of this example when I was watching the commercial with my grandmother. As a strong and proud woman, she still said this commercial no longer applied to her because she was old. The advertisement did not upset her by any means, but I’m sure there is a woman out there saying, “great message, wish it applied to me.”

There is no one single definition of what beauty is.

Nobody can define it and I applaud Dove for carrying this message to a wide audience. However, I recommend that their next ad be more diversified and redefine what it means to be beautiful.

Graduates hope for pomp and jobs Michael Kanell The Atlanta JournalConstitution As strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” drift from college campuses this month, odds are improving that new graduates’ next stop will not be their parents’ basements.

Hiring isn’t strong, but it sure looks better than it has since the economy tipped into recession a little more than five years ago.

“For sure, I thought I would graduate with a job—definitely,” said Morgan Woodbury, 22, a senior at Kennesaw State University. “I think the job market is good right now.”

Her experience is evidence: Woodbury felt confident enough to turn down an initial offer from shipping service DHL. The company offered a different job with better pay and—with her graduation still a few days away—Woodbury is working in international sales in a territory arcing from Atlanta to Chattanooga.

“The pay starts with a pretty good base, plus an allowance, plus commission,” she said.

Job growth isn’t absorbing all of these new graduates, said Phil Gardner, director of the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. “There

has been steady improvement but it’s not enough to clear the new grad market.

We need some double-digit (job) growth.”

Still, the hiring outlook is improved. In 2009, when most of this year’s grads started college, the unemployment rate was cresting at 10 percent nationally. Since then, the national rate has ticked down to 7.5 percent in April.

And the job market is better on average for college graduates. Among people with at least a bachelor’s degree, the jobless rate is 3.9 percent.

Another hopeful sign: starting salaries for grads nationally are up 5.3 percent this year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. The biggest pay boost comes in the health care sector, while the highest starting salaries go to engineers, according to the NACE survey.

Business hires are averaging 7 percent more than a year ago.

Dennis Loubiere, 51, of Marietta, Ga., went back to school to finish his undergraduate degree after being laid off by a mortgage company amid the housing bust.

He graduated summa cum laude from Kennesaw State and stayed on to get a master’s degree this year in busi-

“There is definitely hiring going on,” he said. “For the first time in quite awhile, I actually feel confident that I can get a job.”

Technology and finance are the hottest sectors.

“We hire a ton of people each year,” said Bob Eichenberg, greater Atlanta market human resources leader at PwC, a global auditing, accounting and consulting company with about 1,250 employees here.

Experts in finance have been in steady demand, he said. “People still have to

have audits. They still have to file their tax returns.”

Grads with liberal arts degrees have to show that their skills “are transferable” to business needs, said Emory University senior Alexi Lauren New, 21, who majored in sociology and anthropology.

With so many unemployed Americans, companies can be very selective, so that argument is not an easy one, she said. “I think it’s a tough market out there.”

The Rockville, Md., native has a yearlong fellowship in Washington.

By last year’s commence-

ment, only 16 percent of Emory’s graduating seniors were unsure what they would do in the coming year, said Paul Fowler, executive director of the university career center.

About half of them ended up going on to more school.

The situation is about the same this year, but “we have seen a number of companies calling us out of the blue this year,” Fowler said. “That’s an indication that things are getting better.”

There is risk for graduates who do not find a position fairly quickly.

Students receive awards for participation in UMW Olivia Marovich News editor Several students and faculty members received recognition from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival for their participation in the UMW play performed in March.

Juniors Monterill Anderson, Madison Sanchez and sophomore Mariko Kajita received Irene Ryan nominations. Sophomore Jeremy Odden received the Meritorious Achievement Award Certificate of Merit for Multi Media Engineer, and senior Amanda Maxwell received Meritorious Achievement Award Certificate of Merit for State

Management.

Faculty recognition includes Linfield Professor of Theater Arts Ty Marshall who received the Meritorious Achievement Award Certificate of Merit for Projections, and guest director and Linfield alum Michelle Seaton who received the Meritorious Achievement Award Certificate of Merit for Direction.

“I’m not a theater major, or even a minor, but being in shows is something that I love to do,” Sanchez said.

“The theater community is half of what draws me in also, and I’ve seen a few talented friends get nominated for this award since I’ve been here. I never

UMW had it’s world premiere at Linfield March 19 and Rob Urbinati, a Linfield artist-in-residence,

wrote it using inspiration from some experiences of real Linfield students. It focuses on the themes of racism and bigotry that exist in a small, private college with a mostly white population.

“The students have been able to give continuous feedback with questions of language and generationspecific culture, said Urbinati, according to the press release on Linfield’s website.

“It empowers them and it helps me. If the dialogue sounds authentic, it’s due almost entirely to their input.”

Students discussed the culture and issues surrounding cycling May 16 at the Bike Co-op.

Junior Katherine Ann Takaoka has been involved with the Bike Co-op since it began, and is going to be next year’s manager.

There has been an increase in bikes on campus over the last few years and

members of the Bike Co-op wanted to know how it can improve and what students wanted from it.

The Bike Co-op was an old storage unit that Greenfield affiliated members transformed into the Bike Co-op with the help of a grant from the Oregon Campus Compact.

Members of the Bike Coop would like to have more discussions about biking as another form of transpor-

tation to cars and how we can make biking safer for people.

The cycling culture is also influencing fashion, especially in the ways in which pant legs get rolled up to prevent them from getting greasy or tangle up in the chains.

They also talked about how cycling can help promote the economy because if people bike, they are more inclined to spend more time

in shops.

Members of the Bike Coop would also like to create a better sense of community with bikes on campus, and they would like to help educate people about bikes, and how to fix them.

They are trying to increase the number of employees and help keep the co-op running more smoothly and more available to students with consistent hours.

Senate: ASLC aims to get students invovled << Continued from page 1

The Bike Co-op has loaner bikes, where students and staff can rent for a week at a time. Members of the Bike Co-op are hoping to have bikes they can loan for an entire semester beginning in the fall. They are also hoping to be open for at least a few hours on the weekend as well as being more connected with the Associated Students of Linfield College.

on issues that pertain to them.

“More general campus issues will be handled

by Cabinet,” Fajardo said. “[Class] issues will be handled by Senate.”

Issues such as lighting around campus and homecoming will be dealt with in ASLC Cabinet. Issues that are more specific will be addressed in Senate by differing classes. For example, the freshmen class senators would address any issues with colloquium.

“It’s a shift in focus and breakdown,” Fajardo said.

“We’re hoping it will build continuity.”

This summer Baker, along with other members of ASLC, will be planning different ways to educate students about the changes to the ASLC Bylaws before students vote on the changes in the fall.

“It’s either you have faith in the system or you don’t,” Fajardo said. “And I really believe in Senate.”

taking a poor-paying position you’re overqualified for—may handicap a young employee’s economic potential, said Carl Van Horn, director of the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University and author of “Working Scared (Or Not at All).”

Professor discusses importance of vaccination Quinn Carlin Staff writer It seems like if there isn’t a natural disaster that is killing the planets population off, it’s something that we are, or aren’t doing, like getting vaccinated for the flu.

Nancy Bristow, a history professor at the University of Puget Sound, chronicled the social and cultural

response to the devastating influenza pandemic of 1918 on May 13 in Jonasson Hall.

Her lecture focused on the culture of America as a whole and how it was not equipped to deal with any sort of sickness on that level.

She made the point more personal focusing in on individual people and telling their tales of the pandemic.

One culture that was

ravaged by influenza the most was the Native Americans. Bristol looked at one girl in particular, who had been given away by her parents to a Native American reform school. A place where they could make them “civilized.” Unfortunately, it turned into a breeding ground for the influenza. A series of letters from the school were sent

to the parents of this girl, assuring that their daughter would be fine and was in capable hands. It only took 48 hours for the next letter to be sent out, telling the parents that their daughter had taken a turn for the worse.

Then a telegram five hours later telling them that their daughter had died and had already been buried in order to quarantine the body,

and that they could try to exhume the body in a year if the courts allowed.

This was just one of a few stories that Bristol told. She was able to bring the lecture up to the present day and focused on how important it is for us today to get vaccinated. Bristol explained that a different strain of influenza always has a possibility of breaking out, and that we

need to do everything we can to protect ourselves.

“I haven’t been vaccinated for quite awhile but after hearing about all of this, I think I am going to go this week,” senior Jordan Baca Haynes said. “I thought I knew everything there is to know about the flu until I heard this lecture.”

Students present work at Annual Spring Symposium Shelby Porter For the Review

Nicholson Library was filled with chatter and posters May 17, as students stood side by side with their posters, discussing the implications of their projects at Linfield’s 21st Annual Science and Social Symposium.

Students from all years and majors who have conducted research this year presented their work at the symposium.

The projects ranged from gene manipulations to engineering to societal issues, and were judged by various judges.

Examples of projects included ones such as the project by freshmen Katie Rees, Austin Browning and Riley Self, who worked on a project that tested Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) silencing.

They placed a florescent gene from a jelly fish called Green Florescent Protein into a fruit fly.

This is an ongoing study with the results hoping to be collected by the end of the summer.

“If genes are in fact silenced, then there are several genes in our bodies that are not expressed,” Rees said. “We could use this idea to change the mutated genes by the RNA silencing

Junior Mary Depner had the same idea. She worked alongside Rees, Browning, and self manipulating fruit fly genes.

Depner added additional criteria to her study; she focused on Target of Rapamycin (TOR).

“TOR integrates signals from numerous cell-signaling pathways, responding to the presence of insulin, growth factors and amino acids,” Depner said.

Depner is working to discover if TOR plays an important role for microRNA functioning.

Further down the hall stood Linfield graduate Jenna Johnson and colleagues.

Their project focused on advertisement effects on women.

This study began last year, and finished this year with three studies.

The studies focused on

how women felt after viewing an advertisement.

Johnson concluded from the research that women felt more negative and focused more on their body type.

Students at Linfield have put a lot of time and effort into all these projects with

the hopes of finding a cause to something.

Faculty from all departments supported these students so that they could have access to resources and an advisor to help them along the way.

Upward bound asks students, faculty to give back Samantha Sigler Editor-in-chief Upward Bound is hosting its annual Give and Go event around campus, asking students and faculty to donate everything from furniture and appliances to food and clothing to help raise money for scholarships for graduating high school seniors.

Students can donate items by going to any of the residence halls and placing items in the blue bins.

For students who live in the Hewlett Packard Park apartments, blue bins are placed on each end of the building, and the students in the College Avenue, 540 or Blaine Street apartments can find blue bins inside of the laundry rooms.

With the donations given, Upward Bound first gives clothes and food to students and families involved in Upward Bound.

“Every family has a chance to take some food

with them,” said Greg Mitchell, director of Upward Bound.

Items that are not given to families are also offered to other charities, and anything leftover is then sold at the annual Upward Bound rummage sale to help raise money to give low-income graduating seniors scholarships for college.

“The secondary aspect is the green side of it. Very little of it ends up actually going in a dumpster,” Mitchell

said.

The Give and Go event usually raises about $5,000 in total, which is then split up between 10 to 15 senior students who help plan and organize Upward Bound’s annual garage sale. Two of the students receiving scholarships this year will be attending Linfield College next fall.

This year’s garage sale will be taking place in Linfield College’s warehouse on the corner of Booth

Bend and highway 99 from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on July 12, and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on July 13. For students who need help moving items to donate, Mitchell encourages them to call (503) 8832205 to ask for help.

“It’s going toward hopefully helping [the students] achieve their goal of going to college,” Mitchell said.

“That’s what we’re all about.”

Professor gives entertaining, personal last lecture When a student asked Dave Hansen if he would be interested in presenting a “Last Lecture,” his answer was a simple, “no, not really.”

This was in 1998, and was the second time in Hansen’s six decade career at Linfield, where he served as an economics professor and Wildcat athletics broadcast announcer, that he had been asked this question.

He eventually caved and agreed to give the lecture, essentially a reprise of his first “Last Lecture,” given in 1978.

The “Last Lecture”

series was created in 1978 as a way to give professors and faculty the chance to give a lecture on any topic they choose. The idea was picked up again five years ago by the Office of Alumnae Relations, run by Debbie Harmon, the director of alumni and parent relations, and Hansen’s daughter.

T.J. Day 222 was packed with students and colleagues from each decade of Hansen’s career here at Linfield when he took the podium, a set of large flashcards sitting on a music stand to his right.

“This is not, as I perceive it, a lecture at all,” Hansen said, loosening his tie and

undoing his collar button as the first flashcard read: THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TIME. “I don’t think I’m going to impart any knowledge, you won’t get much of an education from this, and I plan to stay away from anything remotely inspirational.”

Hansen explained that his first two “Last Lectures” had been quite personal, focusing on the knowledge and life lessons he would like to leave his two daughters. He approached this lecture as he believed a famous singer would approach their last concert, sharing some of their greatest hits.

“But as I reviewed my

record, I realized I don’t have any greatest hits,” Hansen joked. “So I decided to share some of my favorite stories.”

“I tried my best to remember what I really remembered [and] what I think I remembered that may not in fact be really true,” Hansen explained of the title choice “Twice-Told Stories—Most of Them True,” in the clear voice that won him so many fans as the radio announcer for Linfield sports games.

As Hansen continued his lecture, the flashcards changed to introduce new stories from his career.

DENNIS, another flashcard, told the story of a stu-

dent who could predict the outcome of sports games and became a school icon for folding up his chair and leaving when there would be a clear Linfield victory.

LINFIELD BASEBALL 1971, his next flashcard, was about the National Championship Series when Hansen and three others drove to Phoenix to see the team play, and then beat the team back to Portland to meet them at the airport.

As Hansen concluded his lecture, President Tom Hellie went to the podium to express his gratitude to the man who had devoted his teaching career to Linfield College, a career lasting from January 1969

to December 2012.

President Hellie also announced a new position in the process of fundraising, the Dave Hansen Chair of Economics.

The new chair currently has $1.85 million in funding, with the goal at $2 million. An anonymous donor contributed $1.3 million over the summer, proposing that Dave Hansen’s name be attached to the position.

“So although Dave Hansen won’t be teaching at Linfield anymore,” Hellie said, “we will always have a Dave Hansen professor of economics.”

Tara Lepp is among the Most Distinguished Athletic Trainers Kiera Downs/Copy editor

T

ara Lepp, professor of health and human performance and head athletic trainer, was one of nineteen people awarded with the Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association (NATA).

To be eligible for this award, Lepp had to be a NATA member in good standing, be a member for at least 20 years and had to be a board certified athletic trainer for at least 20 years.

To be considered, she had to be nominated by a peer. Lepp then had to fill out a 16-page application.

This application asked for everything she had done that relates to athletic training, including service, leadership, scholarship, research, publications, mentoring and media publications.

In 2011, Lepp was also inducted into the Oregon’s Athletic Trainers’ Society (OATS) Hall of Fame.

Lepp has been inducted into Linfield’s Athletic Hall of Fame three times. She was inducted in 2002, with the 1982 football team, in 2004, with the 1984 football team and again in 2006 with

E

very May, McMinnville abducts earthlings from across the galaxy to celebrate the second largest UFO celebration in the United States. There is history behind why the celebration is held in McMinnville.

At 7:30 p.m. on May 11, 1950, McMinnville resident Evelyn Trent noticed a “slow-moving, metallic disk-shaped object heading in her direction from the northeast” on her way back to her house from feeding the rabbits.

She hollered for her husband Paul Trent to come see the unusual flying object. He snapped a picture of the object after grabbing his camera from the house. Paul’s father also saw the object before it disappeared into the distance.

Paul’s photograph of the flying object received a lot of national publicity and was featured in “Life” magazine. There has been much debate over the authenticity of the Trent’s photograph. Skeptics say it is a hoax

and that the Trents staged the flying object to gain fame and fortune.

The interest surrounding this photograph has drawn crowds dressed in glowing green and

metallic alien costumes. And has welcomed sci-fi and extraterrestrial lovers from across the universe to celebrate galactic forms of life.

MacReads author transforms reality into fiction Kaylyn Peterson Managing editor

“This book is narrated by a 13-year-old girl, and I’m am clearly not a 13-year-old girl, nor have I been one,” MacReads author Pete Rock said May 16 in Nicholson Library.

Diving into the reallife events of a father and daughter that were discovered living in Forest Park in Portland, Ore., Rock developed the realistic fiction of his book, “My Abandonment,” told through the

voice of 13-year-old Caroline.

“I followed her voice a lot of the way,” Rock said.

Rock spoke about his inspiration after following the news of Frank and Ruth, a father and daughter that lived in Forest Park for four years, who had been discovered in 2004.

In writing through Caroline’s voice, Rock embodied her in order to understand her as a character.

“I spent a lot of time in Forest Park,” Rock said. “I went to the areas I thought

Caroline would have gone, and I sat in trees to see what she would have seen.”

Rock discusses writing “My Abandonment” in the voice of the opposite gender “I’m not a very autobiographical writer, I never have been,” Rock said. “I don’t want to write about a character who’s similar to me or has had similar experiences to me. I’m a creative writing author. I write to convince something is real, I don’t have to convince myself that those things are

real.”

“My Abandonment” has now sparked the interest of film-makers, and Rock will tour Forest Park with potential producers late this summer.

Rock also shared his newly released novel, “The Shelter Cycle.”

Also based off a true story, “The Shelter Cycle“ was inspired by Rock’s time working on a cattle and sheep ranch in Montana that was near a settlement of members from the Church Universal and Tri-

umphant.

Describing the Church Universal and Triumphant, Rock’s book is a dramatization of the experiences of the church members’ children.

“A lot of the people I talked to had been children of the church describe their childhood a happy, wonderful thing,” Rock said.

The book focuses on the experiences of one pregnant women, who is reflecting on her childhood in the church, 15 to 20 years after leaving the church.

Rock is a professor of creative writing at Reed College, and lives in Portland, Ore., with his wife and two daughters. He attended Deep Springs College, received a bachelor of arts in English from Yale University, and held a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University.

Students ‘chit-chat’ about study abroad trips Carrie Skuzeski For the Review Audience members were whisked overseas during Pecha Kucha on May 13 in Ice Auditorium.

The presentation means “chit-chat” in Japanese. It highlighted four students who participated in studyabroad programs. Senior Dana Hellie showed a slide show titled “A renewed love” to review her yearlong stay in Korea.

Sophomore JB Lange presented “In the land of AUS,” to reminisce on his Jan Term adventure. Junior Stephanie Raso discussed her visit in Austria with “Appreciating the world: my experience abroad.”

Junior Mariah Torres exhibited “From aloha to pura vida,” which recounted her semester in Costa Rica.

Appropriately named, the presentation featured a round of slide shows and allocated time discussion afterward.

Yet, comments and questions were encouraged throughout. Each slide played for only 20 seconds and switched to the next slide.

“I thought that Pecha Kucha was a great way to show different study abroad experiences because it gave people just a little taste of what each destination was like, without it turning into a really long boring presentation,” sophomore Megan Beach said in an email. “So it was nice that each presentation was only six minutes.”

Pecha Kucha was designed to encourage students to consider studying abroad themselves.

“There’s no easy way of explaining how my experience abroad changed me, but Pecha Kucha allows us to do this,” Torres said in an email. “It allowed me to share my story from start to finish on how my decision to go abroad was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

It was the first time the

another lecture by Dave Hansen, professor of economics, at the same time of Pecha Kucha, there were “a few members of faculty [who] attend[ed] and a good handful of students in each class,” Torres said in an email. “I’ve also already gotten feedback that this was inspiration for

a friend of mine to study abroad as well.”

All of the students agreed studying abroad was a decision with no regrets. It granted each one positive opportunities and knowledge.

“It’s the best learning experience you’ll ever have,” Torres said in an email.

“Never again in your life will someone pay for your airfare to study in a foreign country, nor take you to historical landmarks and paint a picture of history that is so rich and so specific.”

Students fill air with jazz, passion Mariah Gonzales Culture editor The Linfield College Music Department hosted its spring 2013 Jazz Night concert May 17 in Ice Auditorium. This concert was the final performance for Linfield’s Jazz Band, with the current senior band members.

Each senior received an opportunity to perform a solo throughout the performance.

Senior Evan O’Kelly played guitar solos. Various forms of talent in the band were highlighted during the concert because players from every section of instrumentation were featured, O’Kelly said.

“This was a great way to wrap up my performing career at Linfield,” O’Kelly said, who began performing with the band as a sophomore. “I thought all of the seniors played well and ended on a high note.”

O’Kelly plays the guitar in the band. “I just love

being able to hear something and then translate that to my instrument,” O’Kelly said.

At 12 years old, O’Kelly learned to play the guitar by listening to the music he liked. O’Kelly has also performed at Cat Cabs with fellow Jazz Band member, sophomore Christian Santangelo, and other musicians from Linfield.

Senior Lynette Cole, one of the trombone instrumentalists, considered Jazz Night a fantastic close to her last four years performing with the Linfield Jazz Band. Cole has been playing the trombone since she was in sixth grade. She has always had a strong love for the jazz genre.

“I always knew I’d play the trombone, as my older brother and dad played,” Cole said.

The Jazz Band performed a mixture of popular songs and music that students in the Linfield Music Department had written.

“Sao Paulo,” a wellknown jazz tune from Brazil, was the second song played during the concert.

The band also ended the performance with a Ray Charles hit song called “Hit the Road Jack.” While the audience was leaving the auditorium, the band busted out in the tune of “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore.

“The concert went great, but my opinion is kind of biased,” said the wife of trumpet player Bryan Shirley. Shirley is a local McMinnville resident along with a few other community members who fill-in for missing instrumentalists during concerts.

This may have been the Linfield Jazz Band’s last performance with the seniors, but it was not all the seniors’ last concert.

Some of the seniors had their Senior Recital on May 16 in Ice Auditorium.

Primachenko said she was happy to perform the recital because she loves sharing her music.

Primachenko is passionately devoted to music and playing the piano. She spends a great deal of time practicing each day.

“The piano is a masterpiece and it is truly a great instrument for me, Primachenko said.

“Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I understand that this is the most beautiful music to play and hear.

It always touches my soul and feelings.”

Primachenko said that her pianist career has taught her countless valu-

able lessons.

“I know that if I can memorize and perform this much music, I can do anything I set my mind to, Primachenko said.

Primachenko enjoys the atmosphere of Linfield’s music department. She said the faculty and students offer relentless support and empathy.

“During the last two years, the music department and the people in it have become like my second home, Primachenko said.

“It has truly been a great experience for me. I have a lot of friends in the music department and I will miss them.”

She explained that her most memorable moments as a music student were walking into the department’s building.

“You can hear the music around you,” Primachenko said. “I even have the favorite place to practice, it is practice room 114 and Delkin Recital Hall.”

She said that some of her favorite Linfield experiences were performing in piano duets and ensembles.

She also appreciated teaching piano through various internships.

“Another favorite experience has been when I was

taking music composition lessons, Primachenko said.

“While doing this, I got an opportunity to compose my own piece for the concert band and then conduct it with the group.”

Primachenko is thankful for her family, Linfield faculty, fellow music students and many more who have allowed her to learn and enjoy her time in college.

“I know that I want to share my music with others and show them that it is a great thing to learn.

I believe that music can shape and change your life, and I hope I can do this for others.”

Powerful voice sends listeners to the ‘80s Vanessa So For the Review

Suzanne Real tries to break into the rocker music scene with the band’s debut album, “Kiss Me Like a Man,” after its Oct. 13, 2012 release.

Hailing from New York, The Suzanne Real Band was brought together from a simple conversation between a father and daughter about pursuing and fulfilling their passion in music.

Backed by The Suzanne Real Band, lead vocalist Suzanne Reale catches listeners’ attention with her power hungry vocalsno

nonsense and provocative lyrics. Themes of being in love, craving independence and bouncing back from heartbreak dominate the grungy tone of the album.

The Suzanne Real Band’s website says the band draws from The Shirts, a popular ‘80s band that played at local New York hot spot CBGB. Suzanne Reale herself is described as an uninhibited singer, whose forwardness, edginess and bursting attitude match the vocal chops that she powers through in songs such as the self-titled album single, “Kiss Me Like a Man,” “Blood On My Hands” and “Can’t Catch a

Break With You.” Though most of the album’s tracks need no explanation, Suzanne Reale takes listeners on an ‘80s journey of love, heartbreak, power and independence.

The Suzanne Real Band’s rhythm section features John Amato and Bob Racioppo, who are responsible for the long, but impressive guitar solos that will have listeners of both the old and new generation rocking out to the band’s tunes.

The Suzanne Real Band aims to be a pure rock band with a blues influence and it makes reference to this in “Runaway.” The jazzy and

throwback ambiance of the ‘40s era are also felt in “Bad Habits.”

“Bleeker Street” and “Daddy-O” will have some listeners feeling nostalgic for ‘80s and ‘90s grunge music all over again.

Suzanne Reale draws comparison to Robyn, Pink and Cyndi Lauper with her vocals, sound and image.

Her soulful range of voices is brought to fruition by producer Ed Stasium.

ing for The Linfield Review, two letters to the editor have come in complaining about the subject matter. Both were from men who do not currently attend Linfield.

One letter, which might not have been published, was about an article I wrote on a Pure Romance party I went to. What I gathered from the letter was basically that women weren’t supposed to enjoy anything sexual. The second letter was at the beginning of this term and complained about my article on anal sex—which apparently also caused a little controversy on campus.

My response: I must be doing something right because the purpose of the column is to inform people about sexual topics that are rarely discussed in our society, and therefore aren’t always accepted.

Not everyone has the same sexual lifestyle. In fact, cookie-cutter sex might be less common than all the other sexual practices combined.

For instance, there are homosexual people in our small Linfield community, and homosexual men do have anal sex. Even some straight couples have anal sex sometimes! This is why I wrote about it. Avoiding the topic isn’t helpful when it comes to health and safety. Sometimes, younger people will have anal intercourse rather than vaginal because they don’t think that it is considered “real” sex.

This is dangerous because diseases can be spread easier through this method, even

when using a condom, than other types of sex. Sure, people could look this up, but not everyone would know what to research or if they even should because they don’t know there’s a concern.

I had support for my column from the select faculty and administrative members I told my ideas to. I also know that I have informed people about sexual topics.

After revealing who I was to some students, I was told that they had learned information from my articles. Which is exactly what I set out to do.

I don’t know if there will be a sex column in the future. There might be a specific position for it and there might not. I have a feeling it’s up to the applicants for columnists. If someone wants to write, go for it next year. And for those of you graduating, I will see you at graduation!

Ask Bailey says goodbye after three years

This will be my last article for The Linfield Review as I will be graduating at the end of this term.

My name has been published this term when, in the past, the article had been done anonymously. This has only been a recent change, however, as I have been writing this column for the last three years. I went to the editor my second year at Linfield proposing my idea for a column about sexual health and education.

Many other colleges have similar articles, some of which are more opinion based, which I wanted to stay away from. My intention was to be informative as much as I could, and yes, my opinion did slip in at times.

But I was not writing primarily for entertainment which is argued about in the sexual health community about school sex columns. My column got approved!

Apocalyptic novel worth resurrecting Paige Jurgensen Staff writer

Do you ever wonder if you’d survive the end of the world; a sweeping pandemic that destroys cities in a week’s time? What if that pandemic was sent by God? What if the survivors were picked to survive? Stephen King’s 1978 novel, “The Stand”, is, perhaps, the greatest piece of apocalyptic fiction to have ever been written.

Apocalyptic fiction is an immensely popular genre, and has been since the Book of Revelation. Arguably, the reason why is that everyone wants to believe that they would be the last man standing; a hero in bloody armor.

King’s characters must do more than survive, however; they must choose between the path of good and the path of evil.

After the “super flu,” a

“The Stand” book cover. weaponized form of influenza, is unleashed unto the population, a small number of survivors, who were immune to the disease, ban together in a series of small groups and try to rebuild society.

Eventually, two settlements are established, one in Boulder, Colo., ran by the saintly Mother Abigail, a prophet of God, and the other in Las Vegas, which is led by Randall Flagg, also

known as the devil. Randall Flagg, the Dark Man, is also a character in several of King’s other novels. He is recognizable by his initials always being ‘R.F.’ The survivors are drawn to one of the settlements, either by Flagg or Mother Abigail, in cross country pilgrimages.

Surprisingly, the devil has some nasty plans for the Boulder settlement and the two groups are forced to collide in a true battle of good versus evil.

In interviews with King, he says that the novel was inspired by “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

King states, “I had wanted to write a fantasy epic like “The Lord of the Rings,” only with an American setting… Only instead of a hobbit, my hero was a Texan named Stu Redman, and instead of a Dark Lord, my villain was a ruthless drifter and supernatural

madman named Randall Flagg.”

Like many of King’s stories, “The Stand” was adapted into a miniseries in the early ‘90s. The adaptation stays remarkably true to the original story as the teleplay was written by King himself. It contains a stellar cast of late-twentieth century must-have actors, like Molly Ringwald and Gary Sinise.

“The Stand” miniseries is available on Netflix Instant and everyone should watch it (but everyone should also read the book.)

“The Stand” consists of three parts in 823 pages, so, in between beach parties and brunch with your mom, or whatever people do during the summer, “The Stand” will keep undoubtedly keep you entertained.

Alumnus brings personal experience to coaching Sarah Mason Features editor

It was not a part of Jackson Vaughn’s agenda when he suffered a career-ending injury during his freshman year at Linfield College while playing for the football team. Because of his injury, he gained early exposure to coaching, and although he did not realize it at the time, it marked the beginning to a successful coaching career here at Linfield.

Vaughn, head coach of the softball team and assistant coach of the football

Vaughn team, has just finished his 17th year as the defensive coordinator for the football team, and his 12th year as the head coach for the soft-

ball program.

“I have a lot of ties, history and memories involving all of the teams in our conference,” Vaughn said. “Conference has not changed too much, and many teams have come and gone through the years. As a coach, I have realized the benefits of building a stable program.”

In his senior year, Jackson was finishing up his accounting degree. He had never considered teaching and coaching to be a possible career for him. However, after completing several job interviews, Vaughn realized

that sitting behind a desk all day would not be his ideal career. He then returned to Linfield in the fall for a fifth year to earn his degree in education. Luckily, he had taken education as a backup and had enough courses to finish in one year.

Vaughn assumed he would work as a teacher and coach at the high school level right out of college. At the same time that he was looking for a job, an opening at Linfield was made available, and Jackson took advantage of the opportunity.

“I enjoy the interaction

with players and the opportunity to teach and help athletes on a day to day basis,” Vaughn said. “Jobs in the office are just not as much fun.”

Vaughn enjoys working with athletes at the college level because he is impressed with their ability to balance schoolwork and athletics.

“The two sports I coach have been competitive at the national level,” he said. “It takes a lot of hard work to get there, while still trying to maintain somewhat of a social life.”

He urges athletes, espe-

cially those who participate in spring sports to take some time off when summer rolls around.

“It is important to let the body recover,” Vaughn said.

“I want my athletes to go do something fun now that school is out. Celebrate and relax. By mid-june it will be time to get back into working out. Athletes only have a four year span to maximize their talent and athletic careers. It is important to remember this during the off season.”

<< Continued from page 16

the lineup was Hopp. Wilson moved to left field and Hopp took over second.

“When [Wylie] first got hurt, I was getting my mind in the right spot…I was ready to step up and help my team…win. Usually it’s my defense that helps the team. Fortunately, my bat came to the plate this weekend,” Hopp said.

Against Pomona-Pitzer, Hopp went 3-5 with two RBI. In the 4-3 win against Trinity, he went 2-3 with an RBI. When the tournament was finished, Hopp was named to the All-Tournament team.

“From being a guy off the bench to become a member of the All-Tournament team is surreal for me. I’m glad the voters recognized me for a good weekend,” Hopp said.

Hopp joined Wilson, Haddeland, Thomassen and Fisher on the All-Tournament team.

Hopp was joined by other unsung contributors such as Joe Stevick, who made a quality start in just his second start of the season.

Don’t forget junior Justin Huckins, who made his first start of the season in the final game against Trinity before handing the ball to Haddeland.

And, of course, this team would not be as successful without sure-handed senior third baseman Jordan Harlow and senior catcher Kyle Chamberlain, who caught every inning this week except for the first six of the 3-1 win.

Those six innings were caught by freshman Kruze Mingus, who did not get to play much at all this year until this game.

“We stayed very confident even after the game one loss. We have yet to lose to a team twice this year, so we knew that Trinity had to play its best game for a chance to beat us,” said Wilson.

Every player stepped up in some way, so despite losing the first game of the day

3-2, the Wildcats showed resilience and responded against a team that many of the players said had the deepest pitching staff they had faced all year.

Resilience is great, but it is often spawned by unfortunate events, and without Wylie’s injury, Hopp may not have been in the lineup.

But Wylie did return for the final two games of the tournament, and he announced his presence with the goahead RBI single in the 3-1 win.

Wylie said, “In an important game like that, you just have to block the pain.”

When asked about what he will be doing to heal this week, he laughed and said, “Lots of ice. I should be able to sprint on it pretty soon.”

Speaking of ice, Haddeland may need some for his arm. It was clear that he had lower velocity during the 3-1 win, but he said he will be ready to go by the first game on Friday against Ithaca College.

Wilson, who was on the wildcat team that lost in the Texas regional two years ago, said, “it felt like we took care of some unfinished business that we left in Texas two years ago.”

They took care of business in Austin. Now they have business in Appleton. Just like Wylie hopes to sprint, this Wildcat team is excited for Appleton and they hope to win it all. The catch by Wilson was another event in what has been an amazing season.

So amazing in fact, that sophomore shortstop Corey VanDomelen said he “didn’t want to fall asleep because there is nothing that could make me any happier right at this moment. It’s pure joy.”

Well, there is one thing that could possibly be more amazing, and it is a Division III College World Series Championship.

Wildcats finish season Baseball: ‘Cats push with top marks in events through heat to gain win Ivanna Tucker Sports editor

The Wildcats had top finishers in all their events at the George Fox University Qualifier on May 16.

Junior Anna LaBeaume took first in the gammer with 154 feet, six inches. Junior Courtney Alley was runner up and almost 28 feet behind throwing 127 feet. Alley also placed first in discus uncontested.

Junior Kate Shear had a season-best performance in javelin, taking first with her 132 feet, three inches.

Freshman Joy Harpham won the high jump uncontested, jumping four feet, 11 inches. Senior Amy Bumatai and sophomore Amanda Gibbon tied for second in the pole vault, which was a career-best for Gibbon.

Sophomore Siena Noe finished second in the 1,500 meter with five minutes, 14.16 seconds. Sophomore Madison Trowbridge took third in the 5,000 with 21 minutes, 25.55 seconds.

On the men’s side, Morgunn Ewing won in the javelin, throwing 171 feet, 10 inches.

That defense, especially the outfield, had to deal with temperatures in the ’90s and a strong wind blowing out to left field. Sophomore Aaron Thomassen, the winning pitcher against PomonaPitzer earlier in the week, acknowledged that the wind was a problem all week, and so did Wilson and outfielders Lindell and junior Nick Fisher.

“It took right field out of play essentially…I just had to rely on good jumps and focus on getting way behind the ball. Fortunately, running down fly balls is one of my favorite things to do,” Lindell said.

Before Wilson made the final out, he had to make another catch at the wall, and in the game before—a 3-2 Linfield loss to Trinity— he was helped on the offensive side by the wind for an inside-the-park home run.

“I knew that I struck the ball well on contact and having the wind blowing out would make it a difficult play for their center fielder. I saw him catch it, so I slowed down a bit, but then I saw the ball come free as he hit the wall and it was off to the races from there. That was my first inside-the-park home run,” Wilson said.

“The wind was something we paid attention to all weekend. It was very stiff,” Fisher said.

Fisher also hit two home runs this week after moving up to third in the lineup.

This move was necessitated after junior Jake Wylie suffered a sprained ankle in the first game of the tournament.

Wylie, of course, led the team in RBI this year and was third in batting average.

A loss like this was handled with a resilient team effort for the next two games—an 8-3 win against PomonaPitzer and a 4-3 win against Trinity.

Junior Nick Fisher slides into second during the Pomona-Pitzer College on May 16. The Wildcats won against Pomona-Pitzer, 8-3.

Austin regional tournament in review Tyler Bradley Sports columnist

Game 1: Linfield – 2 vs. Texas Lutheran – 0 Sophomore Chris Haddeland (12-1, 1.06 ERA) started the opening game of the regional and threw his second shutout of the season (seventh complete game) en route to a 2-0 Linfield victory. It may have been his most dominant outing of the year—he gave up just two hits while striking out nine on 112 pitches.

The ‘Cats were hit with an injury to All-NWC first team outfielder, junior Jake Wiley, in the first inning.

After driving in the first run of the game with an RBI single, Wiley was thrown out while attempting to steal second on a hit-and-run play, and sprained his right ankle during the slide. Wylie was helped off the field and was replaced by senior Kenny Johnson.

Wiley’s RBI single and an RBI double from senior Jordan Harlow in the second inning were the only runs the ‘Cats could push across for Haddeland, but it was all he needed.

Game 2: Linfield – 8 vs. Pomona-Pitzer – 3

A big offensive contribution from senior Michael Hopp off the bench in replace of Wiley, as well as another stellar game from junior Tim

Wilson buoyed a nice outing from Aaron Thomassen and gave the ‘Cats an victory.

With Wiley unable to play because of his sprained right ankle, Hopp played second base while Wilson moved into Wiley’s left field spot.

Hopp went 3-5 at the plate with two RBI. Thomassen (12-1, 2.65 ERA) allowed seven base runners and two earned runs in his first three innings, but settled down for his final four innings to pick up the victory.

“The first couple innings were more of a struggle with the heat. Making the adjustment to 90 degrees and high humidity can be pretty difficult. Eventually I got into a rhythm and used a faster pace to get myself out of the heat,” Thomassen said.

He ended with a line of seven innings and seven strikeouts, and gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and four walks on 121 pitches.

Wilson reached base in four of his five plate appearances, driving in two RBI and scoring a run. Junior Nick Fisher launched a solo home run to lead off the fourth inning. It was his fifth home run of the season.

Game 3: Linfield – 4 vs. Trinity – 3

The No. 1 ranked ‘Cats emerged victorious against the No. 6 ranked Trinity

University Tigers behind solid pitching—including a surprise save for Haddeland on one day rest—and a four run first inning, highlighted by a three run bomb from Fisher.

Linfield began the game with three straight hits. Wilson and sophomore Corey VanDomelen singled and then scored on Fisher’s second home run of the regional tournament (his sixth of the season). The ‘Cats would pick up their final run of the inning—and the game—on a bases loaded walk by Hopp.

Wylie remained out of the lineup with a sprained right ankle.

The Trinity starting pitcher only recorded one out in the first inning before being replaced, but Trinity freshman Michael Walker entered in relief and pitched the remaining 7 2/3 innings without giving up a run.

Junior Zach Brandon (8-2, 3.09) pitched 5 1/3 innings effective innings and had to pitch out of jams caused by three errors — two from VanDomelen and one from Hopp.

Junior Justin Huckins pitched in relief and struck out one before handing the ball over to Haddeland for the final 1 1/3.

Haddeland had thrown a complete game just two days before, but the decision to send him out there was as much his own as the Bro-

sius.’

“If we won this game we were in the drivers seat, so taking care of business was super important. I was ready to go so they put me in,” Haddeland said.

Game 4: Trinity – 3 vs.

Linfield – 2

Despite an inside-thepark home run by Wilson and Wylie’s return to the lineup as the designated hitter, the ‘Cats could not eliminate the Tigers and move on to Appleton in this game.

With fresh arms at a premium, the ‘Cats sent sophomore Joseph Stevick to the hill to make just his second start of the season. Before the game, Stevick did not even know he would be starting.

“I was really excited when I was told that I would be the one to start the game,” Stevick said.

He responded with a quality start, and said he attacked the hitters with a lot of fastballs low in the zone while mixing in off-speed pitches for big pitches.

Unfortunately for Stevick, Linfield’s offense could only muster nine baserunners and two runs on the day. Fisher drove in Wilson with an RBI single in the sixth inning and Wylie singled right after, but a key and uncharacteristic double play off the bat of junior Kramer Lindell ended the inning.

“I felt pretty badly for

my teammates that I waited until the regional tournament to ground into double plays,” Lindell said.

The only other Linfield run came in a strange play in the eighth inning. On a 1-0 pitch, Wilson drove a pitch to the deep center field wall that appeared to be caught.

The ball actually dropped out of the glove of the center fielder and Wilson sped around the bases for the inside-the-park home run.

The ninth inning saw the ‘Cats put Lindell and senior Kyle Chamberlain on base, but Johnson struck out looking to end the game.

Game 5: Linfield – 3 vs. Trinity – 1

On the brink of elimination, another relief appearance by Haddeland, and some key hits with runners in scoring position from the offense propelled the team to the victory, and punched their ticket to Appleton, Wisc.

Linfield handed the ball to Huckins—the NWC leader in saves—to make his first start of the season, and he went 3 1/3 innings and allowed just one run—a solo shot by Trinity center fielder, junior Pat Hirschberg, in the second inning.

In a role reversal with Huckins, Haddeland (13-1, 0.99 ERA) entered in relief and went the rest of the way.

Just like his previous outings

during the week, he gave up zero runs.

His outing was also met with a 20-minute delay on the field after a disputed call ended the seventh inning.

The umpires called Wilson out after the ball hit him while he was running to second base. Linfield manager Scott Brosius protested the call, but dropped the protest so that Haddeland’s arm did not get cold.

Haddeland was undeterred, and he finished the final two innings.

The ‘Cats responded to Hirschberg’s home run in the bottom half of the second inning. Lindell walked and Truex was hit by a pitch.

They then moved to second and third base on a balk.

Harlow then grounded out to second base to score Lindell.

In the sixth inning, the hobbled Wylie stepped to the plate with two runners on, and after fouling off a few pitches, he lined a 3-2 pitch to left field for an RBI single. Truex would smoke a line drive to center field to drive in Fisher for the third and final Linfield run of the game two batters later.

A large celebratory dogpile occurred on the pitchers mound after the final out.

There was much rejoicing.

Pitcher’s inside look: Winning Haddeland: Player makes strong appearance at regionals regionals and moving to nationals

Tyson Takeuchi/Senior photographer Sophomore Chris Haddeland was selected as Northwest Conference Pitcher of the Year and first team all-conference. Haddeland also has the most wins in the division. << Continued from page 16 .99 with a 13-1 record.

Throughout the season, he has pitched seven complete games for the Wildcats, all of which were victories.

Sitting in the stands during a majority of the series, including the regional tour-

nament, are Haddeland’s parents.

“They have come to every series of mine,” Haddeland said. “It’s great to have my parents at games.”

Haddeland will next be pitching at the Division III World Series May 24-28 in Appleton, Wis. “I am looking forward to

us playing in the national tournament,” Haddeland said. “We are going to be competing against a lot of teams with depth. It’s going to be interesting to compare ourselves to top teams in the nation.”

Heat, wind, lightning, rain and some Texas barbecue. We were able to experience a little bit of everything in our trip to Austin, Texas.

After thunderstorms our first night, a heat wave set in, bringing record highs to the Austin area. Temperatures soared, reaching 97 degrees. And if it wasn’t hot enough, we were playing on an all-synthetic turf field, which increases temperatures even more. The heat came as a blessing first, followed by exhausted players.

The scene at Tornado Field at Concordia University-Texas could only be described as nail biting.

All our games, aside from Pomona-PitzerCollege, were decided by two runs or less.

The suspense built up each day, culminating in a winner take all championship showdown against Trinity University-Texas.

Just as the previous games, it was a pitchers duel, but we felt confident.

Haddeland

Trinity hit a bomb in the second inning, but we responded with a walk, a hit batter and a balk. As I entered the game, I was confident. I had already thrown 10 plus innings, but my arm felt fine and I had yet to surrender a run.

I was living dangerously through out my outing, allowing a batter to reach base every inning.

The defense behind me was strong as usual, turning two double plays in the process.

We finally broke the game

open in the sixth, stringing together four hits and scoring two runs.

At that point I was sure we were going to win. We were playing good baseball and although runners were reaching base, there were no true scoring opportunities.

The top of the ninth was the closest Trinity came to scoring again. After a one out single, the next to batters both flew out to deep left.

With a strong wind blowing to left field, both balls looked to have the potential to leave the park. Neither did.

As the ball was caught all sorts of emotions were running through my mind.

Relief, excitement and pure joy were all there. Before I could even process what had happened my teammates hit me. Everyone was on top of me, aside from senior Kyle Chamberlain, who was lying underneath me.

There was no better way to end the day.

’Cats baseball captures third program title Tyler Bradley Sports columnist Linfield Junior Tim Wilson settled under a fly ball coming down from the Texas sky once again, and he let the ball land in his glove.

Linfield fans everywhere could finally exhale. The ‘Cats did it.

Wilson’s catch was out number three in the bottom of the ninth of

a 3-1 victory against the Trinity University (Texas) Tigers. The Linfield Wildcats baseball team is now going to the Division III College World Series in Appleton, Wis. The celebration was, as junior Kramer Lindell described it, “pure elation.”

“It feels absolutely amazing. I don’t even know if it has sunk in to be honest,” Lindell said.

Senior Michael Hopp said, “When I saw Timmy making the catch, I just threw my hands up and ran to the dogpile.”

“I got smacked by all the players,” sophomore Chris Haddeland said, who was at the bottom of the dogpile.

Haddeland pitched the final 5 2/3 innings of the 3-1 victory.

He gave up zero runs on five hits

and struck out three. Because of his effort, he was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Austin Regional.

He also threw a complete game two-hit shutout on May 15, and picked up the save in 1 1/3 innings of a 4-3 win May 17 against Trinity. In total, he pitched 16 innings.

He gave up seven hits. He walked zero hitters and struck out 12. He

did not give up a run.

“I’m happy we have the opportunity to go to Wisconsin…it is a cool award, but a lot of the credit goes to my defense. We definitely wouldn’t be in the position we are right now without the defense,” Haddeland said.

High School, he earned first team all-state honors and played in the all-star series.

Last season, Haddeland was not in the starting rotation, with only a select few opportunities to spot start. He now has the first spot in each series.

“It’s pretty neat to know when you are going to throw exactly,” Haddeland said. “The circumstances are different for regional and national tournaments, meaning I can throw at any point.”

Over the course of the tournament, Haddeland made one start and had two relief appearances.

He pitched 16 scoreless innings, had 12 strikeouts and no walks.

Spending a lot time on the mound puts a lot of stress on a pitcher’s arm and shoulder. Haddeland had to spend a lot of time after games icing them to get ready for his next appearance on the mound. Athletic trainer Greg Hill stood as Haddeland’s go-to person following playing in the tournament.

“He did a good job this week-

end icing us up and keeping us healthy,” Haddeland said.

His pitching choices include a fastball, curveball, slider and change-up.
