Transcript
The business department held an informational meeting April 2 to get people interested in two minors that were added last fall.
In the fall of 2012, the busi-ness department ended its general business minor and added two new minors, management and sports management.
“We wanted to make one that
was more useful across campus,” said Denise Farag, assistant pro-fessor of business.
The management minor will give students a background in leadership and also let students gain experience with people skills.
“The management courses have provided me with leadership tools that will help me lead teams in the international environment,” senior Johnathon Bosch said.
The sports management minor
is set up as an interdepartmen-tal minor with the business, eco-nomics, philosophy and health, human performance and athletics departments.
The faculty were interested in making the minor because they found that students connected with class materials more when using sports examples.
“I wanted to minor in sports management because I have played sports my entire life and
hope to work in the sports busi-ness industry,” senior Rachel Dewolf said.
These minors are not exclusive-ly for business majors.
For further information about the sports management minor, contact Farag. For more informa-tion about the management minor, contact Sharon Wagner, chair of the business department.

The administrators in charge of student hous-ing at Linfield have come out with a new rule regarding college-owned apartments: only third-year students or 21-year-olds can register for apartments.
This means that even if a student has junior standing credit-wise, but isn’t necessarily a third-year, he or she isn’t eligi-ble for apartment hous-ing.
My issue with this new regulation is that this severely limits hous-
ing options across the board.
It basically states that upperclassmen and low-erclassmen who wish to room together in a col-lege-owned apartment are not allowed to.
Before this informa-tion was sent out, I had made plans with another student who is going to have junior standing by the end of this year, to room together, maybe along with some others. We were going to aim for living in an on-campus apartment.
Now, we have to completely re-think our plans, since that option is no longer available to us.
This new regulation has no place among the others already imple-mented.
Four-person apart-m e n t s — q u a d s — a r e apparently usually the last to fill up, and a few are even left vacant after the registration process each year.
In other words, there are apartment spaces that are being wasted, and this new regulation
does not solve that prob-lem.
It makes no sense! The college apart-
ments cost more than dorms so the college would be getting more money from students who have the opportu-nity to live in these apart-ment spaces.
How does this new rule justify the math?
This problem seems to go hand-in-hand with the lack of any co-ed room-ing options, although the latter was decided by the college trustees rather
than the housing depart-ment.
Both rules brutally restrict housing options for students, and the motives behind them are either quite vague or unfairly subjective in nature.
Instead of making the housing process more efficient, they will lim-it students’ decisions and create unnecessary resentment.

The Mid-Year Safety Inspections occurred this past week and now stu-dents are left wondering, will I get my stuff back?
The Mid-Year Safety Inspections were sched-uled to occur Tuesday, April 2 through Friday, April 12.
During the safety inspections, resident advisors go into apart-ments and dorm rooms to look for safety con-cerns.
The list of safety con-cerns is a long one, which includes broken window locks and covered smoke detectors. Also, all pro-hibited items are taken from the student’s room, even if he or she is not there.
“RAs conducting inspections will be accompanied by at least
one other staff member, and residents do not need to be present for inspections to occur. All prohibited items are con-fiscated and you should not expect items to be returned,” said Esper-ance Ibuka, area director for Residence Life, in an email sent to HP apart-ment residents.
The fact that students should not expect their items to be returned is where we see the prob-lem.
Although these items are on the prohibited list, they are still owned by the student whose room they were taken out of. Some of these items were expensive or presents from family members. Either way, the resident advisors shouldn’t be allowed to confiscate
them forever. For example, one stu-
dent’s Keurig Coffee Maker was confiscated when it was found in a dorm room.
A Keurig is an expen-sive item to be confis-cated. In addition, this particular coffee maker was a gift from a family member.
How is the student supposed to explain to the family member that it will never be returned?
And where exactly do these items go? Why can’t they be returned at the end of the year?
We understand that these items are being prohibited for students’ safety, however, long-term confiscations are not the answer.
By taking away a personal item for a long
time or possibly forever, a distrust between stu-dents and resident advi-sors will grow.
Ultimately, hostile feelings may be more of a concern than the origi-nal confiscated item.
By no means should the prohibited item just be allowed in the dorm.
However, permanent confiscation or long-term confiscation shouldn’t be the appropriate step of action.
Perhaps a fine and warning should be the first course of action, followed up by another inspection to see if the item was removed.
If the item was not removed, then more seri-ous consequences could then be issued.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Lionel Parra/Illustrator
One of Linfield’s lega-cies is the opportunity for students to attend lectures and seminars by intelligent, professional, and sometimes, famous people. We get to learn about a huge variety of topics and issues from important people all across the nation. Not every college is as fortunate as ours.
But looking through the pages of the Review, or look-ing at posters on the walls, there is a problem. An over-whelming majority of these notable lecturers are men. And these men sorely lack the ability to inspire me in ways that a female speaker can.
As a woman, having man after man attempt to inspire and move me begins to feel counterproductive and rather exhausting. In the world that we live in, having a woman to draw support and hope
from is really important to me.
Recently, I’ve begun learn-ing what any ambitious wom-an wishes to ignore. The field of journalism is largely occu-pied by men. I don’t feel like I can connect to a male jour-nalist and ask him questions, at least not in the way I could to a woman who has similarly been through what I have. This issue becomes more present for me every day, and it gets really frustrating.
I even almost censored
myself in this article, think-ing of future male employers reading it. If I come off as too aggressive or opinionated, they might be less likely to hire me. But then I remind myself—that’s the point!
In male dominated fields, which includes almost every career field, it is espe-cially important to have female allies and mentors. Each woman’s experience is unique, yet still shared among other women. It is essential for women in col-lege to learn from mentors who have been through what they have.
Let me digress and back up a little. Linfield does bring speakers who talk about all sorts of human rights, includ-ing women and LGBT issues. But I’m not just talking about women who talk about issues like feminism and empower-ment, that’s a given. Who I
want to see are women in professions like business, journalism or politics.
Now I have to ask myself, is this a coincidence? Do women just not have the availability to travel to schools? Or, is there more? I don’t blame event coordi-nators or administration at Linfield at all. I believe it’s because patriarchy is still so deeply etched in our soci-ety. It is highly possible that women don’t get as many chances to speak publicly.
So I encourage, or rather challenge, Linfield’s faculty, staff and administration to reach out and find more inspi-rational women. Find women in the sciences, math or poli-tics.
We already learn so much from our guest speakers, let’s learn even more.

Modesty is the best policy for spring, summer
COLLEGE LIFE
As a life-long Star Wars fan and believer in George Lucas, I was upset last year when I found out that Disney would be buying Lucasfilm and taking over the Star Wars dynasty.
Don’t get me wrong, Disney has some quality products, but I did not like the idea of someone other than Lucas overseeing the “Universe Far Far Away.”
As announcements were made regarding additional Star Wars movies, seven, eight and nine, I was filled with speculation.
In my view, there did not need to be any more movies. That part of the
franchise was over, it was time for the expanded uni-verse to take over.
However, recently, I began to get excited for the new movies.
It began as curiosity. I really wanted to see what Disney would do with them. They are making
some pretty good Marvel movies that I’ve enjoyed watching the past few years.
Soon my excitement grew, and I could not wait to be in line at the movie theater when the seventh movie comes out. This all changes with the recently announced shut down of LucasArts Entertainment Company.
That little kid in me feels betrayed. I grew up play-ing video games devel-oped by LucasArts and wanted to see new games developed under Disney’s ownership.
But no, it has other
plans. Lucasfilm announced
that it is taking internal game development out of the market. Because of this, the company was required to lay off its staff.
This country does not like it when big companies layoff workers, but there has been little comment on this front.
Why is the layoff of these workers less impor-tant than when a company like HP lays off a ton of workers?
It shouldn’t be, and the fact that it is really is mak-ing many people upset, including me.
Some would say that it is more important because of the prominence of the company and the number of workers who are laid off.
I do not agree with that. Any worker laid off is still a worker laid off and just as important.
Companies like Dis-ney will do anything in its power to make every-thing as profitable as pos-sible. While profitability is important, so is our work force.
I am sad to say that my views of Disney and its handling of Lucasfilm with the shutdown of LucasArts has made me reconsider
my views of the merger and upcoming renewal of the Star Wars movies.
I will not see the movies in protest of the practices of Disney. I will not show my support or give my money to a company that is being so disrespectful.
How do we know that it will not piece by piece dismantle and shut down every part of the Lucasfilm Company?
I do not want to see something I have grown up loving destroyed in the name of big business.
April showers bring May flowers...well not when it comes to spring and summer fashion. Each year, I dread when the sun comes out because, frankly, the clothes go out the win-dow.
Why is it that girls in particular feel the need to skimp it down to the bare essentials?
News flash, ain’t nobody wanna see that! Especially that guy you want to have a summer fling with.
Cropped tops may have been in style last summer, but those are long gone, just like the amount of fab-ric it took to make them. Instead of these tiny pieces of cloth, try a loose top.
The most popular tops this season are shear so you do not have to worry about over heating. Also, for those of us who are not necessarily bikini body ready yet (and never will be), it gives us room to hide that security blanket we use to protect our abs.
Working down the fash-ion ladder, short shorts and skin tight cotton skirts were all the rage in the past, but this year is so not the case.
Thank God, because most girls’ triceps were more defined than a body builders from constantly pulling their skirts down. Try a maxi dress, instead.
Yes, some body types cannot work this trend, but don’t immediately disre-gard it if you are not tall. A key part of fashion is trying different things out and seeing what works for you.
Now on to colors. Last year, it felt like my eyes were getting attacked and
assaulted by a neon cat’s rainbow poop stream, but this year is not the case. Neon colors are out and cool colors like blues and purples are in.
White is also a strong color, which plays in our favor, ladies, because it reflects the sunlight (no pit stains here!).
Just like the seasons, trends have changed. Instead of bearing it all like a stripper hungry for a dol-lar bill, this season it is all about being classy like a lady.
Modesty is the best poli-cy so don’t be afraid to cov-er up. It leaves something to the imagination. Plus, no one could pass up hav-ing a fabulous pattern on a maxi dress.
Also, being more cov-ered up means we have to apply less sunscreen. I would rather have my body equally pale than have half of my stomach tan and not the other.
There is a time and a place to expose all that skin, and when you are at the pool seems like the most appropriate time.
At the end of the day, summer fashion is one of those situations where less does not mean more so put some clothes on.
Linfield’s Circle K club participated in an interna-tional week of service April 1-5.
Service events through-out the week included a campus cleanup, making stress balls, working in the Linfield community garden, tabling in front of Graf Hall and having a movie night.
“It’s a week for other people to get involved [and] a great way for us to connect as a club,” said senior Kath-arine Holm, co-president of the Circle K Club. “We were having fun the whole time.”
On April 6, Circle K also participated in a ser-vice event painting and cleaning the yard at the Henderson House, which was put together by the McMinnville Kiwanis Club.
“They’re really great. They fund us a lot and give us a lot of support,” Holm said.
Circle K is sponsored by the McMinnville Kiwanis Club, which is an adult
community service organi-zation similar to Circle K. The Kiwanis Club donates money, helps with projects and participates in commu-nity service activities along-side Circle K.
The Circle K Club has about 20 active members, and Holm is hoping that this service week will help raise awareness and increase membership for the club.
“We have a wide variety of active people, and it’s going really well. We’re sort of rebuilding the club this year,” Holm said.
Other charities the Cir-cle K Club fundraises for include the Kiwanis March of Dimes and the Eliminate Project.
The Circle K Club is also planning to host a bonfire fundraiser toward the end of April to raise money for
the Kiwanis children’s can-cer program. There will be raffles, music and food for everyone who attends.
“I would encourage everybody to get involved with Circle K,” Holm said. “It’s a really great way to give back, have fun and meet new people.”

to student behavior. Junior Brynnan Hyland
further expanded on Baker’s question, inquiring about why there is stress on interac-tions between students and CPS.
Wale confirmed that she has heard this from a percent-age of the population. How-ever, she has also heard a lot of positive feedback.
“I think there is confusion of CPS’ intent in how we’re treating and working with students. Our goal is integrity and respect. We expect that
in return,” Wale said. “It’s a hard line to walk in providing services and holding students accountable for their actions.”
Another student inquired about CPS’ role as a neutral observer, making the point that many students feel like CPS goes on fishing expedi-tions.
“We make lots of contacts that aren’t necessarily for pol-icy violations,” Wale said. “If a student is walking down the street looking intoxicated or having challenges, then that is suspicious.”
Mackay agreed saying that if a student goes out of their way to avoid a CPS offi-
cer or administrator then this seems suspicious and will be checked out.
Because many of the ques-tions were based on students’ personal experiences, junior Maggie May, ASLC secretary, suggested creating a griev-ance form as a way for stu-dents to air their frustrations with the appropriate college officials.
All of the representatives at the forum were open to this suggestion.
“I think we achieved what we set out to do, which was to start a conversation between students and administration. There was a good balance
between legitimate questions and a chance for students to get things off their chests,” said Nic Miles, outgoing ASLC president. “I would have liked to have more stu-dent representation, but the students who did come have loud voices and will spread the word well.”
The other half of the forum focused on college policies, clarifying who creates poli-cies, who reports policy viola-tions and who determines a policy violation.
Mackay said that the Dean of Students Office, Student Policies Committee and Fac-ulty Committee, President’s
Cabinet and the Board of Trustees are the only sources on campus that create college policies.
From there, reporting poli-cy violations is left up to CPS officers, residence advisors, area directors, faculty and other community members.
He made this distinction from who determines a policy violation because the over-whelming consensus of the group was that students are unclear about policy enforce-ment. Only the College Con-duct Board, Peer Conduct Board and a college conduct officer from the Dean of Stu-dents Office determines if a
policy violation has occurred, Mackay said.
The second half of the PowerPoint presentation reviewed the college’s Medi-cal Clemency policy.
Mackay focused on key issues that have been circulat-ing around campus, regarding confusion about the policy.
He clarified that the school’s policy does not entail calling the McMinnville Police Department during a Medical Clemency. If an officer is avail-able, they are automatically dispatched when EMTs are requested.
Nobel laureate to visit Linfield
A Nobel laureate will speak about how astronomers have traced the history of the solar system April 8.
The co-recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics, Brian Schmidt, will give a lecture at 7:30 p.m. in Ice Auditorium hosted by the Oregon Nobel Laureate Symposium.
Schmidt was the leader of one of two teams that started to search for the answers to our solar system’s history in 1998. His group was called the High-Redshift Supernova Search Team.
Schmidt attended the Uni-versity of Arizona and Har-vard University. He is a pro-fessor and astrophysicist at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Aus-tralian National University.
The Oregon Nobel Laure-ate Symposium was estab-lished at Linfield in 1985 as a means to bring Nobel laure-ates to campus.

This past summer a school project was taken on titled “Governing the State-less: New Perspectives on the Plight of Burmese Refu-gees in Thailand.”
A total of five students went on the trip to Thailand to learn about the problems in Burma, also known as Myanmar.
The group was led by Patrick Cottrell, assistant professor of political sci-ence.
The students who helped him work on the project were seniors Morgan Chris-tiansen, Bridget Grant, Kole Kracaw, Leanne McCallum and William McHenry.
The project is funded by a research grant from the ASIANetwork.
In return, the group will submit a number of research papers about its findings.
The papers will be sub-mitted to undergraduate journals, and the students will present their finding in presentations.
The Burma, VJ documen-tary was shown April 3. The movie talked about critical issues in Burma.
The country is under one of the harshest military rul-ers out there. Filming the
documentary was extremely dangerous because no one is supposed to film anything.
The people of Burma are frightened to even talk about the government for fear of its secret police find-ing out and arresting them.
Getting the footage was even a struggle because it had to be smuggled out of the country.
At one point, the govern-ment turned the Internet off to try to find these under-cover reporters and stop them.
All at the same time, peo-ple were peacefully protest-ing in the streets.
The Burma government responded by beating and imprisoning it’s own peo-ple.
After the people still did not give up, it turned into a massacre.
This put an end to the protests, but citizens are still fighting to get knowledge into the world of how unjust the government is.
After the documentary, Cottrell answered questions about the film and the issues going on in the country.
He talked about speak-ing with Burmese refugees who tell their horror stories of the government.
“The leaders in Burma are so wealthy, that recent-
ly something came out on Wiki-Leaks where a son of a leader was trying to per-suade his father to buy Man-chester United,” McHenry said. “This is all going on while its people are starv-
ing.”The corruption and need
for power has turned the country into a prison.
“The Burmese people are suffering and the rest of the world just doesn’t know,”
Kracaw said. “Spreading awareness of this atrocity will create pressure on the government to change and help the people.”

those students who live on campus graduate at higher rates than students who live off campus,” Mackay said in an email. “Students who live on campus are generally more engaged in campus life and have high-er cognitive development in many areas than stu-dents who live off-campus. On campus students have more exposure to a diverse living community than stu-dents who live off campus. On campus students have closer access to resources to help with their success: RAs, library, academic advising, counseling, learn-ing support services, etc.”
Mackay and other administrative officials have noticed that students are concerned about the changes and that they may no longer meet the criteria to move off campus prior to their fourth year at Linfield.
This is not the first year changes have been made to the exemption factors. Last
year, the financial exemp-tion amount was increased by $2,500.
In previous years, the mileage for students living at home reduced from 60 to
30 and finally to 20 miles.To respond to student
concerns, the administra-tion has agreed that old exemption rules continue to apply to some existing
situations, while the new exemption rules will apply to all future situations.
If a student lived off-campus this year and will not meet the new criteria,
administration will allow them to continue living off campus as long as they meet the previous criteria again.
Administration will be
following this grandfather clause for any student who was exempt last year as a result of the financial crite-ria.
“Some students have been taking extra classes during Jan Term and sum-mer sessions in order to achieve senior status (94 or more credits) in order to meet the former criteria and move off campus. As a result of conversations with students, we will allow any student who reaches senior status (94 credits or more) by the start of fall semes-ter 2013 to file a housing exemption,” Mackay said in an email. “This will be a one-year only exception to the new exemption criteria. This will not apply to the 2014-15 academic year so please do not base academ-ic plans on the assumption that you will be approved to move off campus with-out meeting the standard three-year residential requirement at Linfield.”

The decision of what to do after graduation is always a tough one. New graduates often follow their passion, and that is exactly what one alumnus did.
Tom Branigar, a 1974 Linfield graduate, shared his experiences of working in the presidential archives from 1977-2008, as well as the changes made to the record keeping process during the years, April 4 to a small number of history majors and other faculty.
Branigar took his pas-sion for history from a his-tory minor to working in the presidential archive at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kan.
“I was at the right place at the right time,” Branigar said. “It was a great honor to get to work at the Eisen-hower Library.”
After finishing his degree at Linfield, Branigar attended Western Wash-ington University, where he pursued his masters in Archives and Record Man-agement. It was just as he finished his degree at West-ern Washington University when the news of three job openings at the Eisenhower
Library reached him.“[The Eisenhower
Library] had Western Wash-ington graduates work for them before, and so they knew the reputation of the school and the archive pro-gram. So I was lucky to be there at the time I was,” Branigar said.
Branigar had access to documents from the Eisen-hower administration, and he explained that George Washington set up a rule that the presidential records of any given president were the personal processions of that president.
“George Washington took a very British idea and made it his own,” Branigar said.
It wasn’t until Jimmy Carter’s presidency that this would shift the own-ership of the records to the federal government. This caused a divide in the col-lection of documents today.
Branigar said that much has also changed since the introduction of digital doc-uments.
“Its a whole new age, and there was actually an incident when a bunch of documents had been destroyed, but since it was originally sent by email, they were able to recover
them,” Branigar said.According to Branigar,
the main users of the Eisen-hower Library are graduate students writing their dis-sertations, historians writ-ing biographies and gov-ernment officials.
While Branigar worked for the Eisenhower Library, he became an expert in the Eisenhower genealogy.
“In Germany, Eisen-hower is like the last name Smith in America, every-one has it. So I have a lot of
people who think they’re related to President Eisen-hower,” Branigar said.
Branigar said that the most interesting document he came across was one he referred to as “the smok-ing gun” memo. This doc-
umented the destruction of all the files from Eisen-hower’s transitional head quarters at the Commodore hotel in New York.

Oregon wine
A new study conducted at Linfield College found wine consumers around the United States enjoy Oregon wines for their handcrafted qualities.
Sharon Wagner, professor of business, asked more than 1,000 consumers and 300 distributors, writers and buyers in the U.S. why they believed people buy Oregon wine and what they expected when they drink it.
The study found that consumers view Oregon wines as having a handcrafted appeal owned by small fam-ily farms. More complete findings will be available after publication.
As a result of conversations with students, we will allow any student who reaches senior status by the start of fall semester 2013 to file a housing exemption.

When I entered Jazzman’s, he was staring out the window, lost in thought. He greeted me with a huge, familiar smile. In fact, junior Dillon Casados’ face is one that nearly every Linfield student is familiar with. He invited me to sit down, ready and excited to talk about his freshly acquired position as president of the Associated Stu-dents of Linfield College. Students elected Casados and junior Jake Baker for president and vice presi-dent for the 2013-14 school year March 12. Running on the platform of community, Casados promised to create an even closer environment for students to grow and feel included. “I’m not sure Linfield would be where it is without the students,” Casados said. “I want to be an open line of communication for the student body. With how much they contribute to Linfield, I think it’s important that they have a voice and that their voice be heard.” Casados isn’t wasting any time. He plans to jump in and begin shadowing former ASLC president senior Nic Miles to learn the ropes and better understand the role he is about to undertake. Casados and Baker are shaping the new Cabinet and plan to hold Cabinet meetings before Senate. “One of my main goals is bringing together a cohesive group within the Cabi-net and Senate so we can reflect on the stu-dent body and how we get involved with the school and participate in the community,” he said. “We want to encourage the students to come together as a community and let their voices be heard. I really want to make that happen so students can truly enjoy their four years here.” Casados understands some groups may feel underrepresented. To this, he said, “It’s a matter of students expressing con-
cerns and ideas on how they can change it so we can make it happen.” As Casados talks about Linfield and the students, his eyes begin to come alive with excitement. As guaranteed in his cam-paign, Casados spends an hour or so every day in Jazzman’s or Dillin. He invites stu-dents, alone or in groups, to have a conver-sation with him, sharing ideas or just keep-ing one another company. “I want to bring the Linfield commu-nity closer together,” he said. “I want to let the students know I’m here to listen.” Casados learned the value of friendship from his family, whose unity inspired him to share the love with everyone around him. “My parents have been nothing but supportive of who I am and my experi-ences,” he said. “Through the unconditional love they’ve shown me, I’ve been able to relay that to other people. I want to show unconditional love to other people, in all aspects of humanity.” Growing up in Utah, Casados said he doesn’t believe he was pushed hard enough. As part of only 1 percent of his graduating high school class going out of state for col-lege, Casados had to learn how to challenge himself. He wanted to jump out and experi-ence the world. “I was put in a position where I had to push myself. A lot of my peers weren’t thinking about college, but I knew I wanted to go. I stopped doing what everyone else was doing and started paying attention to my grades. I established a little environ-ment for myself to succeed,” he said. As a freshman, Casados had no idea he would someday be the president of ASLC. He wanted to make new friends and established a goal to meet one new person a day.
“With that goal in mind, I saw the power behind communicating with people and hearing each others’ ideas. I think the goal subconsciously influenced me to want to be president someday,” he said. Casados has been a part of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity since 2010, with leader-ship positions like vice president and trea-surer. Casados said he’s enjoyed being able to be a part of the growth of the organiza-tion. “We went from a whole lot of noth-ing to a whole lot of something,” he said. Casados is majoring in philosophy, his passion, and minoring in finance and economics, which is for practical reasons. When it comes to the future, Casados wants to invest and build a real estate organization with his brother and sister. “Ten to 15 years down the road, when we’ve built financial security, I’d like to travel the world, write books and talk to people, motivational type stuff,” he said. Casados said he is interested in some-day building a community where individuals who are qualified in their fields and dedi-cated to helping the common good can come together and influence each other, share ideas and start working toward the world’s problems. “I’m starting to understand the idea of the interconnectedness of humanity and how it ties in to people coming together achieving their goals,” he said. Casados hopes to one day influence the world community, starting small with Linfield and getting bigger. He is letting his passions drive him. Passion together with drive, he says he doesn’t believe it’s possible to fail.

While some Wildcats were catching up on their z’s, lying on a tropical Hawaiian beach or catching up on missed episodes of their favor-ite T.V. shows, some Wildcat Alternative Spring Breakers (ASB) were playing with wolves. A group of 10 students and two faculty members ventured to the Sangre De Cristo Mountain range in Westcliffe, Colo., to Mission: Wolf, a non-profit organization nestled deep in the valley. Each year, thousands of wolves are displaced across the United States, many of which are killed by humans or cannot survive in the wild. People purchase wolf pups from game breeders to raise as pets. However, more often than not, they quickly realize wolves are not meant to be pets. This is where Mission: Wolf comes in. Mission: Wolf is a sanctuary that houses 38 captive wolves and wolf-dog mixes. The sanc-tuary provides the wolves with a safe place to live. Mission: Wolf seeks to connect people with nature through hands-on interactions with the wolves. The full-time volunteers at Mission: Wolf improve human-animal relationship by teaching basic body language and animal behavior skills. It believes a better human-animal connection is the key to our peaceful coexistence. There are more than 250,000 wolves in captivity and less than 10,000 wolves in the wild in the United States. “The wolf conservation movement is a lot more vast and problematic than I had made it out to be in my mind,” said junior Kaleigh Ansdell, an ASB participant. “We as humans have histori-cally attempted to control nature and it has put a
dangerous wedge between us and our connection to the land we live on. We have to understand the natural world around us, appreciate the natural world, respect it and grow with it.” Freshman Jessica Baker valued the experi-ence because she learned about the conservation movement in a way that she could have never been taught in the classroom, through face-to-face contact with a wolf. “There is still hope for the future of the spe-cies and the environment,” Baker said. “What we learn in class is usually pretty depressing, but seeing the passion and difference these few vol-unteers make, not caring about money, was truly spectacular.” Senior Lori McEwen was inspired by the full-time Mission: Wolf volunteers. “Realizing that there are people out there who do things out of the good of their heart, not for the money, was incredible,” she said. “It re-ally made me realize that I need to follow my

passions, regardless of the money that will result from it. Following my passion is what will make me the happiest, and ultimately, make my life the most meaningful.” During the week-long trip, the inspired ASB members worked hard, mitigating fires, building horse fences, hauling and chopping wood, install-ing solar panels, digging post-holes, mucking, repairing roads and socializing with the wolves. “We worked hard, grew together, learned together, laughed together, and we got to interact with not only wolves, but some pretty awesome people as well,” Ansdell said. The ASB members developed a special friendship with the staff at Mission: Wolf. Our Wildcats were praised for the passion they brought to the wolves and sustainability. The group was commended for its efficiency and posi-tive spirit. “I was repeatedly informed by the Mission: Wolf staff that the Linfield students were hard working, efficient, well-prepared, personable and friendly,” said Janet Peterson, associate profes-sor of environmental studies and co-advisor for the trip. “By well-prepared, I mean that they had researched the cause and were able to engage in meaningful discussions about the issues. They had the right clothing and gear, they maintained posi-tive attitudes and they always had smiles on their faces.”
Being a part of ASB was a rewarding experience for all who went. “It’s important to participate in ASB because it gives you a chance to get outside of yourself for a week and make a direct impact on the world,” Ansdell said. “You can see the difference in peo-ple. No matter how tired or sore or sun burned, ASB participants return from their programs with a new breath and strength.” One of Ansdell’s favorite moments during the trip was when a huge, black, amber-eyed wolf smelled her face and teeth and peered straight into her eyes. McEwen said the best part about ASB is the opportunity to meet great people who share simi-lar interests. “Everyone gets so busy when class is in ses-sion,” she said. “Spring break is a great time to give back to the community and volunteer.” A few of McEwen’s favorite parts of the trip were meeting the full-time volunteers at Mission: Wolf, learning to hacky-sack and being greeted by the wolves.
“Seriously, there’s nothing like looking into the eyes of a wolf,” she said. The group jammed to Mumford and Sons every day during its three-hour drive to Mission: Wolf in its 15-passenger van. It ended each long day’s work cooking for each other on a small kitchenette. On the last night, the ASB participants and the Mission: Wolf volunteers made home-made pizza and played music together. For Ansdell, the only hard part of the trip was saying goodbye. “Being out there, surrounded by one of the most beautiful mountain ranges, in the presence of such awe-inspiring animals, accompanied by a wonderful group of inspiring people, and having the chance to make a positive and direct impact—that’s hard to leave,” she said.

A student is bent over a piece of glass, his hands smothered in paint. He has one eye closed, intensely focusing the other on a spe-cific spot.
When he accomplishes what he intended, sopho-more Ivan Colin steps back to see his work before it goes to the roller.
He looks at the combina-tions of orange, blue and green, considering every detail, as it gets covered with paper, ready to print.
On April 4, members of Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts came to Linfield to give a workshop on creat-ing monotypes: a form of art where anything is paint-ed on to a piece of Plexiglas, put through a roller and transferred to paper, creat-ing a one of a kind print.
Crow’s Shadow is a non-profit organization aimed at providing opportunities to Native Americans through artistic development.
Master printer for the organization, Frank Janzen, worked with students in art classes to help them create these one of a kind prints.
“Everyone has their own style, everyone has their own way of creating,” Jan-zen said. “There are just so many different things you can do with this kind of art,
and the students really ran with it.”
Colin agreed, saying how this form of art is incredibly therapeutic.
“There are no boundar-ies with this, Colin said.
“You start with a line and go with wherever it takes you. You can push different effects, use any device and once it’s done, you think what you’ve cre-ated is one way, but put it through the roller and it comes out entirely differ-ent.”
This thought process was evident throughout the entire production room.
Students made a wide variety of things, such as a handprint, faces, flow-ers and the Earth, all while using their own techniques.
“Everybody can do something different to express themselves, and that’s what we try to do,” Janzen said. “Art is expres-sion, and everything is art. Everyone in here can do something, anything, and it will always come out differ-ent. It’s beautiful.”
Janzen showed the stu-dents different techniques of rolling, using stencils, shadow work and color combinations to help get them started.
Students took his instruction to heart when looking at their work. Some flicked their paintbrushes,
used their hands or made ghost prints, all creating something unique.
When going through the roller, students could decide how they wanted their image to look. The harder the pressure from the press, the deeper the colors would come out on the piece.
And that’s one of the things students liked most.
The prints were their creations, and they decided how the pieces ended up and what they wanted to do to make it their own.
As Colin stepped back
to look at his piece before it went through the roller, looking to see ways he could enhance the images, he tilted his head.
“I like how I can be here to create what I want and what’s important to me alongside people who feel the same with what they do,” he said.
“There’s so much to be grateful for with opportu-nities like this, it’s a bless-ing.”
A former Linfield the-ater major returned to the spotlight, accompanied by a new cast and crew, during Miracle Theatre’s produc-tion of “Frida, un retablo” on April 5 in the Marshall Theatre.
The Portland-based Mir-acle Theatre brought the play, which was a part of the Lacroute Arts Series.
The Miracle Theatre was founded in 1985 by Dañel Malán and her hus-band Eduardo Gonzalez. In 1989, the two created Teatro Milagro, a bilingual touring program.
“Frida, un retablo” starred Malán, Daniel Moreno, Ajai Terrazas and Linfield alumna Tricia Castñeda-Gonzáles Lee.
Castñeda-Gonzáles Lee graduated from Linfield in 2009 with a degree in the-ater arts. She has worked with Miracle Theatre for two years and appeared in several productions.
She has also performed with theaters in Portland,
such as Defunct Theatre, Willamette Shakespeare, Portland Playhouse and CoHo Productions. She is also a pre-school teacher.
The cast of “Frida, un retablo” was versatile, as only four actors performed the roles of numerous char-acters. Terrazas, for exam-ple, would switch from playing a straight-laced art vendor with a heavy New York accent to an elderly version of Frida within minutes.
Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico City in 1907. She is well known for her self-portraits and notori-ous eyebrows “taking flight like the wings of a raven,” said Moreno in the opening minutes of the play.
She is one of Mexico’s acclaimed visual artists. She possessed extreme pride for her Mexican heritage and is still commonly referred to as Mexico’s daughter.
However, some may not know the whole story of Frida and the pain and suffering that plagued her every day.
She contracted polio
when she was seven. When she was 18 she suffered a tragic accident when a trol-ley car struck the bus she was riding in. A metal rod struck her abdomen, dam-aging her spinal column, pelvis, collarbone, right leg and foot, left shoulder and two ribs. Her injuries pained her every day and led to a morphine addiction that endured until her final days.
“I’ll be happy to be alive if I can paint,” said Castñe-da-Gonzáles Lee, quoting one of Frida’s famous lines.
Frida also experienced hardship in her social life. Her husband Diego Rivera, played by Moreno, was also a famous artist. She coped with being in his shadow.
Rivera also had a terrible habit of cheating on Frida, most infamously with her sister.
It eventually led to the end of their marriage in 1940, although he remar-ried less than two months later. Because of the mud-dled relationship with her husband, Frida was known to have a sting of affairs in
her history with both men and women.
The Miracle Theatre shed light on the important, but perhaps unfamiliar, sto-ry of Frida’s strife.
The actors from “Fri-da, un retablo” recounted Frida’s entire interesting, exciting and sad life in a unique way.
Castñeda-Gonzáles Lee played a young Frida in the prime of her career and thrilling life. Terrazas played the role of Frida as an elderly lady. And Malán acted as Frida’s spirit. The three different versions of Frida were frequently on stage at once.
The three characters would speak to each oth-er almost as if they were voices inside of each oth-ers’ heads. It allowed audi-ences to understand Frida’s complex, conflicting and troubled spirit.
A student from the audience enjoyed learning about how Frida’s struggles influenced her art.
“I definitely think that with everything, your hardships make you who
you are, and it really molds you into the person that you become, senior Krystal Galarca said.
“And so she is a living testament of that; you can take a tragedy and make it something wonderful that can really be an inspiration to others.”
The performance was brightened with moments of humor.
At one point, Moreno marched up to a student in the first row, grabbed her hand and partnered her for an impromptu dance num-ber.
The arguing between a young Frida and Rivera conjured laughter, espe-cially with the mention of one of Frida’s famous say-ings: “I suffered two grave accidents in my life. One in which a streetcar knocked me down… the other acci-dent is Diego.”
The production was a short and sweet 50 min-utes and allowed for no moments of dullness.
The actors interlaced Spanish and English, which is customary for Mira-
cle Theatre, to create an authentic representation of Frida’s life.
The backdrop was beau-tifully painted with bright colored flowers, skeletons, and of course, self-portraits of Frida.
The Miracle Theatre integrates pressing world issues into its performanc-es. It combines Spanish language and music and features the Latino culture to demonstrate its diversity.
Miracle Theater added to Linfield’s continued efforts to increase diversity and exposure to the fine arts. In doing so, it also handed Linfield an opportunity to learn about the amazing life of Frida and to understand the Latino culture.
“I really enjoyed it. I always enjoy seeing out-side artists come in, Galarca said.
“And I really enjoyed the mix of culture that was blended into the work.”
After 40 years dedi-cated to tireless transla-tion, readers can indulge in the book “The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff.” It was recently published by Eng-lish professor Katherine Kernberger who discussed its contents April 4 in the Nicholson Library.
Kernberger’s moth-er spent nearly 20 years translating and editing the work of Marie Bashkirtseff, which was written mostly in French. Unfortunately, her mother passed away before she could finish.
Kernberger took charge of her mother’s project in 1991 and has finally com-pleted it after an additional 20 years of perseverance.
Bashkirtseff was born into a wealthy family in the Ukraine in 1858. She was famous for painting, sculpt-ing and keeping a diary throughout her fleeting life. She developed tuberculosis and perished just before she turned 26.
Bashkirtseff began keep-ing a journal when she was 14. In her book, Kernberger features only a fragment of Bashkirtseff’s complete diary that encompasses 106 notebooks.
Kernberger named her book after the countless passions that Bashkirtseff pursued.
“She wants so be remem-bered by several genera-tions,” Kernberger said. “And she sets out to make her mark on the world in several ways.”
Kernberger said that Bashkirtseff believed she would succeed at all things she tried.
“Ambition. The domi-nant trait of my character is ambition. For which I would sacrifice all,” Bash-kirtseff wrote.
Kernberger said that Bashkirtseff’s confident self-conception was sup-ported by those around her. She was constantly admired by her family and members of her community.
“I am completely in love with myself,” Bashkirtseff said.
Even though Bash-kirtseff was privileged, she found it difficult to receive an education, espe-cially one equal to the type offered to men.
“Marie sets out to get her own education. Hir-ing and firing, on occasion her governesses and tutors, Kernberger said.
“Working to learn lan-guages thoroughly enough to speak, read and write well in French, Italian and English, along with her native Russian. And study-ing history, physics, chem-istry, things not normally within the interests of young women.”
Bashkirtseff was infuri-ated by the oppression of women during her era. She longed for equality among men and women.
Kernberger said that Bashkirtseff often wasted her time on thoughtless activities. She fixated on shopping and having luxu-rious clothing.
“The preoccupation she
wastes most time with, however, seems to be her endless list of crushes and flirtations,” Kernberger said.
She liked to pursue scan-dalous men, and seemed to lose interest in any man who began to show interest in her.
Bashkirtseff often felt alone in the world because no one understood her intelligence.
Bashkirtseff aspired to be an opera singer above all things. However, symp-toms of her illness began to develop, and she lost her voice for more than a year.
So Bashkirtseff looked toward a career as an artist.
“I must devote myself to painting,” Bashkirtseff wrote. “Because it creates an imperishable work.”
Bashkirtseff and her fam-ily moved to Paris where she attended an arts school called Académie Julian. She created an extraordinary amount of art during her short time in Paris.
Her most famous work includes a portrait of Paris children called “The Meet-ing” and a portrait of her fellow art students working named “In the Studio.”
She passed away in 1891 when she was 25.
It took great ambition to finish translating Bash-kirtseff’s own ambitions. And the Kernberger family will forever be recognized for such devotion to Bash-kirtseff and her work.
English professor Katherine Kernberger discusses her recently published book, “Marie and her Passions,” on April 4 in the Nicholson Library. Kernberger’s mother began the process of translating Matie Bashkirtseff’s journals 40 years ago. Kernberger took on the job for her mother, and now the product is finally finished.

Professor unveils book after 40 years of translation
Experience and contagious positivity shone through dur-ing a discussion of Jill Tim-mons’ new book April 2 in the Nicholson Library.
Timmons’ book, “The Musician’s Journey: Craft-ing Your Career Vision and Plan,” was released March 19 through Oxford University Press.
It is a product of Timmons’ life-long career performing and mentoring in the field of the fine arts. She hopes its con-tents will supply musicians with resources necessary to achieve the career of their dreams.
Timmons began craft-ing the book’s idea nearly 15 years ago, while teaching at Linfield. Timmons was a pro-fessor for more than 30 years, starting in 1981 and retiring in 2012. She is an emerita music professor, meaning that she retired from an active position but still holds the official title. She also remains in the Lin-field community as a mentor for music students.
“I think she is one of the
most inspirational teachers I have had,” said sophomore Ian Cox, who is majoring in music. “You can tell she has so much knowledge and passion in several areas.”
Timmons upholds an accomplished pianist career. Her talents guided her to performing throughout the world in Chile, Spain, France, Australia, Germany and Swit-zerland. She is frequently heard on NPR and records her own music.
Timmons has worked with numerous artists and music organizations, includ-ing non-profits, entrepreneurs and students. Timmons said that those connections have shown her how to have a suc-cessful career.
“Some of this I bring from my own experience, but part of this is also an observation of other people and how cre-ative and innovative they can be in pursing their dreams,” Timmons said.
During years of work-ing with diverse individuals, she detected a theme pres-ent throughout such interac-tions. She said that all of the artists struggled with one of
two things. Some had trouble defining who they were as art-ists in terms of passions, mis-sions or reasoning for being artists. Or, others struggled to craft a plan to transform their artistic passions into careers.
Timmons said that each person is better at one of those areas than the other. Some people enjoy a nonlinear life-style full of contemplating cre-ative and new opportunities. Others are skilled in manag-ing time and being organized.
“You have to have these two things together,” Tim-mons said. “And they actually form a continuum. And that’s
the foundation of my book.” Timmons calls it the vision plan continuum.
“This is, essentially, a new road map for musicians. If you can authentically describe and be in touch with what it is you want to do with great passion, what your calling is if you will, and you make a plan, you’re living as an entre-preneur. And if you’re like most musicians in this pro-cess, you will have a thriving career.”
Timmons’ book offers advice on crafting a vision. She directs readers to online worksheets to help grind out the complex process of doing so. She also advises artists on how to construct a plan that uses that vision to have suc-cess. She provides informa-tion on running a successful business, such as how to write a mission statement and what kind of staff to hire.
A portion of her book is dedicated to marketing. Tim-mons’ marketing starter kit can be found on her website. Timmons also wrote a section about grant writing.
“You can’t function unless you’re going out and find-
ing money for your projects,” Timmons said.
Another section of the book is slightly unrelated to the other topics.
Timmons said that part of being a successful artist is being capable of shifting how the brain works. Sometimes that means having to change an entire belief system.
Timmons said it is com-mon for artists to feed them-selves false information that is often negative or discour-aging. She also said that per-forming in a temporal world induces anxiety because it is impossible for artists to fore-see the quality of their future performances.
“All of this goes back to the brain and how it works. You have to create new neuropath-ways and create new habits,” she said.
Timmons provides exten-sive scientific research con-cerning such subjects within her book.
“I think it is central to being an artist,” she said. “If something is not working in life, you have to make chang-es.”
Timmons’ book discusses
research developed in 2011. The National Endowment for the Arts and the Strategic National Arts Alliance Project (SNAP) from Indiana Univer-sity conducted studies that excited Timmons. The studies gathered data about the lives and careers of arts graduates in the United States. It exam-ined nearly 13,000 artists from more than 150 arts programs.
SNAP demonstrated that arts alumni generally have the same levels of enjoyment and satisfaction of their schooling and professions as under-graduates from other fields of study.
Data also illustrated art-ists’ employment projections for 2008 to 2018. The United States labor force is expected to increase by 10 percent. The profession’s category that includes artists is expected to increase by nearly 17 percent.
Timmons is confident that her plan works because she has lived it herself, and she has seen many other people carry it out.

Up-and-coming Brook-lyn rapper, DyMe-A-DuZ-in, is making big waves in the hip-hop game with his new mix-tape “A Portrait of Donnovan.”
The rapper is part of the Brooklyn collective Pho-ny Ppl, known for its live instrumentals and having members so young they couldn’t get in to some of the clubs they were booked to play.
DyMe-A-DuZin has enlisted Plain Pat (Drake, Kid Cudi and Alicia Keys) to oversee the production of his first solo project, along with some other big names like Emile Haynie and Har-ry Fraud.
The mix-tape certainly has the production feel of something akin to Kid
Cudi, but the rapper soon establishes his own prow-ess on the mic with his first track, “It’s Alright Now.”
The song has a slow hook where DyMe assures the lis-teners, “It’s alright now, at least right now,” as he puts the rap game on notice with a quick fire and fierce first verse.
Although the album fea-tures many underground rap sounds, it blends a nice pop sound that could hook any popular music fan, par-ticularly the song “Memo-ries.”
However, the album shows its most promise when it pushes the bound-aries and channels the new-er sounds that are taking over hip-hop today.
DyMe enlists the help of fellow Brooklyn spit-ters PRO ERA for the track “Swank Sinatra.” He adopts
the golden era ’90s sound of PRO ERA with a slowed down track and a smooth beat; horns move the melo-dy along under precise and smooth raps.
“A Portrait of Donno-
van” focuses on a variety of subjects but mainly the struggles faced by a young up-and-coming rapper. DyMe-A-DuZin raps about his skills on the mic, the struggle to make it in the
rap game, making money and even the absence of his father.
On the song “Father’s day,” he details life growing up with a father who was in jail. He talks about missed graduations and holidays and the struggle faced by his family.
He raps, “And I’m reminded every Father’s Day, years of birthdays you never sent a call my way, years I needed male advice, and you were gone away. ‘Have faith, God is your father.’ That’s what my mom would say.”
It’s an eclectic album that has something on it for everyone.
“A Portrait of Donno-van” lays down the foun-dations for what could be a powerful rise to the top for DyMe-A-DuZin.
On “Wake up Free” he
raps, “Mista mista don’t you tell me what to do, you might be bigger bigger but I got aspirations too.”
DyMe wants to make it and with the work he puts in on this album success is certainly within reach.
This project is a success and a great look at what is coming for hip-hop. A$AP and Kendrick Lamar are leading the charge, and with talent like DyMe-A-DuZin close behind, the rap game looks like it is in store for a resurgence of the golden era.
DyMe goes on tour in Europe starting April 11 in Ireland and his mix-tape, “A Portrait of Donnovan,” can be downloaded for free on his website at www.iam-dyme.com

stantly making out with her boyfriend in our room while I am there.
I am extremely uncom-fortable with it and con-cerned that it will become a huge problem and escalate to intercourse while I’m in the room.
What should I do about it?
--This seems to be a com-
mon complaint around campus. It is understand-able that people, especially new couples with the new-found freedom of college, want to be around each other and intimate almost constantly.
It is, however, not OK for you to be put in an uncom-fortable position because of
it, especially when it’s in your living situation.
While it does make you uncomfortable, and them having sex or showing excessive PDA with you there is unfair to you (and basically really rude), you can’t prevent them from doing it at all. That would be unfair to your roommate when she lives there just as much as you.
Stand up for yourself. Tell your roommate that
you are uncomfortable and not okay with the atmo-sphere they are creating. You live there too.
Be nice about it, of course. Talk to her when it’s just the two of you in the room or schedule a time when you can talk. Most likely, they just don’t real-ize that it bothers you.
One solution for you to suggest is a schedule for when you can leave the room available for them, maybe every couple of nights or a couple of times during some days.
You could go do home-work at the library or hang out with other friends.
Let’s be realistic; not everything happens on a schedule. In these cases, they could let you know with a text message warn-
ing you of a last minute quick use of the room.
Even in apartments with multiple rooms, things can get uncomfortable.
If noise is an issue, pri-vately let your roommate know that the walls are not sound proof.
Something definitely needs to be said and worked out between you and your roommate.
Everyone wants to have a good experience in col-lege and dorms are already intrusive enough.
If your roommate refuses to compromise, inform your residence advisor.
Daniel Keyes’ classic novel, “Flowers for Alger-non,” is a science fiction drama that should be really good, but is just not.
Charlie Gordon, a men-tally disabled man who undergoes surgery as part of a psychological study in order to raise his IQ, nar-rates “Flowers for Alger-non” through a series of progress reports.
As his IQ rapidly rises after the procedure, he is forced to learn how to become an entirely new person nearly overnight.
With the help of a cast of psychologists and doc-tors, Charlie faces a series of challenges, such as sex-ual relationships and trying to convince the academic world around him that he
is more than just a patient; all while being watched by “old Charlie.”
Charlie finds solace in the only other living thing that knows what he is going through, a small white mouse named Algernon.
“Flowers for Algernon” is interesting in the begin-ning because when Char-lie was mentally disabled, he had an extraordinary personality that the reader could connect and sympa-thize with, but as his IQ rises, his personality becomes more robotic and loses the ability to be per-ceived as a believable human being.
The entire novel has a feel that something amaz-ing and mind-shattering is going to happen and make all the boringness worth it, but nothing ever happens.
Then, the novel just
ends, leaving the reader disappointed.
However, “Flowers for Algernon” does shed some light on touchy subjects, especially for the ‘50s, such as the care of mentally handicapped patients and reaching sexual maturity.
It is the touchy subjects that caused the novel to come under scrutiny from literary critics.
In the ‘70s, school boards in British Columbia and Alberta banned the novel from its high school class-rooms after parents com-plained that it is “filthy and immoral.”
However, I’m pretty sure double beds on the televi-sion were also considered filthy and immoral so one generally shouldn’t pay attention to the opinions of ‘50s parents.
In 1958, Keyes wrote
“Flowers for Algernon” as a short story for “The Maga-zine of Fantasy and Science Fiction” and in 1966 adapt-ed the story into the novel.
In addition, “Flowers for Algernon” has been adapted in numerous mov-ies, television shows, radio shows and one Broad-way musical, which, after listening to some of the soundtrack, can only be described as offensive and terrible.
Usually, banned books are edgy and fun, but “Flowers for Algernon” is neither of those things.
No offense, Mr. Keyes, but this is a story that should have remained short.
Rain washed out the Wildcat golf teams April 7, ending the Northwest Con-ference Spring Classic a day early.
The men’s team fought through the rain and was able to earn itself third place during the first day of com-
petit ion. All of the Wildcats on the m e n ’ s team fin-ished in the top-25.
The top ranked golfers for the men’s teams were sophomore Ryan Nolan,
who tied for fourth with Pacific Lutheran Univer-sity’s Seth Nickerson and Whitworth University’s Oli-ver Rudnicki. The score for fourth place was 73 strokes, only one stroke above par.
Freshman Adam Ruban tied for ninth place and only out-scored sophomore Taylor Klopp by one stroke. Ruban only had 76 strokes, four
s t r o k e s a b o v e par, while K l o p p f inished with 77 strokes.
Tommy S c h m i t z finished eighth with 80 strokes and Kyle Hargrave finished one stroke behind
Schmitz but finished 24th.While the men’s team
finished close to the top, the women fell into seventh place.
The ‘Cats’ top performer for the women’s team was senior Brinn Hovde, who finished ninth with a score of 83, which is only 11 strokes above par.
Freshman Maggie Harlow
tied for 16th with 87 strokes. Junior Alexandria Smith
came in 25th and sophomore Malika Reynolds tied for 36th place.
Both of the Wildcat golf teams will compete at the Willamette Cup Tournament on April 14.
The Linfield men’s ten-nis team lost 9-0 and 8-1 on April 5 and 6, and it remains winless on the season (0-11 NWC record).
The team faced Lewis & Clark College (6-11, 5-7 NWC) on Friday and lost every single match. The Pio-neers won the three doubles matches by the same score of 8-4. The closest singles match was a matchup of Lin-field No. 4 sophomore Joel Trousdale and Lewis & Clark No. 4 Ryotaro Tokura. Toku-ra won the match 6-4, 6-3.
“My serve was spot on for both of the matches and that definitely helped…given the same matches again the results could be reversed,” Trousdale said.
Linfield No. 1 senior Zach Lyons lost his singles match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4.
Pacific Lutheran Univer-sity (10-5, 8-1) entered the weekend ranked No. 14 in the latest Division III West Region rankings. Lyons and sophomore Lukas Kleinman won their doubles match
by a score of 8-5 to give the ‘Cats their lone weekend victory. With the win, Lyons and Kleinman improved to 4-2 on the year as a doubles duo after making the switch in the middle of the year.
The other two doubles matches ended with the familiar score of 8-4 in favor of Pacific Lutheran. The Jason Bower/Taylor Dickey duo defeated sophomore Micah Roos and freshman Tim Hawkins, while the Mitch Yanello/Jake Yannello duo defeated Trousdale and freshman Alex Mangan.
Despite Pacific Lutheran being the better team, the ‘Cats put up more of a fight in their singles matches compared to the day before against Lewis & Clark. Lyons and Kleinman pushed their matches against Pacif-ic Lutheran’s Luke Olson and Sam Angel to three sets respectively.
Lyons won his first set 6-2 but dropped the last two sets by scores of 6-4 and 6-3. Kleinman won his first set as well, with a score of 6-3, but fell in the final two sets 6-2, 6-1.
When asked about the team’s attitude, Trousdale said, “Team morale isn’t at it’s greatest. It’s definitely hard to keep morale up after losing so much.”
He added, “I’ve definitely seen improvement so I try to focus on the positive. Grum-bling about the past doesn’t help anybody.”
The ‘Cats are running out of time to score a team vic-tory this season. They have just one remaining confer-ence game on the schedule, and it’s against Willamette University (6-9, 6-4 NWC) at 4 p.m. April 12 in Salem. Linfield also has a match versus California Tech Uni-versity on April 28.
Willamette defeated Lin-field on March 2, 6-3, which is one of the closest contests the Linfield team has had this season (it also lost 6-3 to Puget Sound and George Fox). Lyons and Kleinman won their singles matches and their doubles match during the Willamette con-test.
Panther’s home game, gaining one goal each half, scored by senior Brittani Drost in the first half and sophomore Shelby Duarte in the second.
Freshman and regular goalkeeper Erika Phillipo returned to the field after sit-ting the last four games out due to an injury. She saved 11 attempted goals, bringing the total attempted goals made by Chapman to 44.
Losing by a smaller mar-gin on March 27, the Wildcats lost 17-4 to the Whittier Poets.
“During the first game,
our com-m u n i c a -tion broke down at one point, and they had a huge r u n , ” K r o p p said. “We focused on that in our second game and we played our best defense of the year.”
The Wildcats were excited to see how their play benefit-ted from the increase in defen-sive support.
“We had some really nice transition fast breaks that we scored off of,” Kropp said. “So we know we can be really
good, we just need to keep our confidence and com-munication up. If we do that, I think our last two games can go much better and differently than the first times we played Pacific and Puget Sound.”
The final game of the lacrosse season will be an away game at 6 p.m. April 12 against Pacific University in Forest Grove.

Lacrosse: Wildcats struggle to pull in wins this season
Freshman Alex Mangan returns a hit against the Lutes’ Jake Yannello. Mangan fell to Yannello with a score of 6-1, 6-0. Pacific Lutheran won overall with a score of 8-1.
Women’s tennis, in match-es April 5 and 6, first lost a home-court match to Lewis & Clark College, 8-1, then redeemed itself in an away game against Pacific Luther-an University, winning 6-3.
Inside, due to bad weather on Friday, the ’Cats lost two of their three doubles match-es early on, leaving sopho-mores Kelly Watanabe and Kaila Nip on the No. 3 court to win the only point of the afternoon for Linfield in their doubles match against the Pioneers.
Linfield recently lost a match to Lewis & Clark in a 7-2 match March 22.
“We played very well,” sophomore Katie Krieger said. “We weren’t really expecting to win against a team ranked second, but we did our best and we were happy with our level of com-mitment.”
At the Pacific Lutheran campus Saturday, women’s tennis was ready to make up for the loss of the day before and played its hardest, win-ning by the three points it needed to compete for the No. 4 position in the North-west Conference.
“I knew it was going to be a close match,” said sopho-more Gretchen Jernstedt, who won her singles match on Saturday. “I tried not to think too much while I was playing because putting more pressure on myself might have affected how I was play-ing.”
The team, which was
down 2-1 after the doubles matches, did not let the score discourage it going into the singles matches, when Jern-stedt, Watanabe, Nip, junior Caroline Brigham and senior Lexi Thomas all won against Pacific Lutheran.
“The bus ride back was really fun. It’s always good bonding with the team, and it was even better since we were
excited that we accomplished our goal,” Jernstedt said.
Next up for the Wildcats is a home match against Willa-mette University on April 12.
“Right now we’re in the number four spot,” Krieger said. “We still haven’t played Willamette, but we’re excited and confident going into that match.”
Linfield played Willamette
earlier this season, winning 7-2 against the Bearcats.
After the match against Willamette, the Northwest Conference Tournaments will begin the weekend of April 20 and 21, and they will con-tinue the weekend of May 10 and 11.
April 8 is on the short list for best sports days of the year.
The men’s NCAA cham-pionship game between Louisville and Michigan, two fantastic and dynamic teams, will bring a wild, unpredictable and fabulous college basketball season to a close. Plus, the Seattle Mariners play their home opener (with Joe Saun-ders on the mound for the M’s. Joe Saunders! Feel the excitement).
But do you know what else happens tomorrow (who knew Mondays could be this exciting)? NCAA Division III week begins.
Did you know NCAA Division III week existed before I just told you now? I did not know about it until I received an invite via Face-book to attend. It turns out that this is the first Division III week in history.
According to Jeff Cope-land from NCAA.org, “Division III week is a time to celebrate the accomplish-ments of student-athletes.”
More than 30 percent of Linfield students are student athletes so it is no secret that athletics are important to this school. If the school is to follow Cope-land’s advice, the amount of celebration should be substantial all week long.
But at first glance, I felt that Division III week was not fair to the students at the school who do not play sports. After all, the majori-ty of students, in fact, do not play sports here at Linfield. How come student-athletes should be celebrated while student-musicians, for example, should not?
Well, no specific week has been created for stu-dent-musicians or any oth-er group. That is the sim-ple answer. But the other answer is because of how deeply ingrained athletics are in our culture.
Although there are many things in life that are more important to survival than athletics, athletics give people an outlet for energy, passion and competitive spirit. Athletics can uplift a massive population, while inspiring an individual at the same time.
Athletics are also one of the only effective ways to
connect different genera-tions. Although athletes are bigger and stronger now, the games are played in the same manner. Time travel is begrudgingly impossible at the moment, but you could go to a baseball game in 1913 and the basic on-field rules would be the same as what you see today.
Athletics can be an engine for social change and political discussion. Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947, and the black power salute on the medal podium by Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the 1968 Summer Olympics, come immediately to mind.
Athletics also give opportunities to people to have fun and build rela-tionships and have experi-ences they never thought possible.
Copeland says that the NCAA national office will be focusing on its partner-ship with the Special Olym-pics during the week. Lin-field will be exhibiting this partnership at 1 p.m. April 13 in the Ted Wilson Gym-nasium. A Special Olympics basketball tournament will be held in the gym, and it costs just $3 to attend.
If you can, go and spend that $3. The people par-ticipating will be enjoying themselves through the power of athletics.
Although we should appreciate every student at Linfield at all times, NCAA Division III week makes more sense than I thought. It’s no wonder it is starting on one of the best sports days of the year.
Athletics are powerful so take a second this week if you can to appreciate the work our athletes put into their craft.

Paavola a 16-2 record.In game two, the Wild-
cats remained down until the sixth inning, where they upset the Bruins by scor-ing six runs in the seventh inning.
Sophomore Erin Carson hit her first career homer, bringing in the two game-winning runs for the Wild-cats. Yamamoto also hit a three-run home run.
On April 6, Catball won its first game 11-0 and sec-ond game 9-8. Junior Karina Paavola added two addi-tional wins to her record this season, making it 26-5 and 18-2.
In game one, the Wild-cats had a four-run lead by the end of the first. By the end of the second, Linfield secured a dominant nine-run lead against the Bruins.
After striking out five bat-ters with no runs or walks, Paavola was switched with sophomore reliever Mon-tana McNealy to secure the
win for the Wildcats.Prestianni and Garcia
both hit a pair of doubles in the first and second innings. With senior outfielder Megan Wallo and Carson hitting two singles.
In game two, Yamamoto hit a two-run home run, giv-ing the Wildcats a 3-2 lead in the fourth, answering to the Bruins who had a 2-1 lead following the first. The Bruins responded with two
runs in the fifth. During the sixth, Presti-
anni hit a homer to trigger the Wildcats to score three runs. George Fox’s offense responded with a home run of its own plus additional runs, giving the Bruins an 8-6 lead.
In the seventh, the Wild-cats started off with a single by sophomore Grace Mid-dlestadt, followed by anoth-er from Wallo. A double
from Garcia, drew in two runs. A single from Carson allowed the Wildcats to make their last run, securing the win.
The Wildcats will next face Willamette University at 5:30 p.m. April 10 in the Del Smith Stadium. This will be their last home game for the regular season.
Sophomore Erin Carson hits a two-run home run during the second game against George Fox on April 7, earning the Wildcats their fourth win of the weekend, 8-6.

“When you are a coach, your family makes sacrific-es,” Doty said. “It’s been a family affair.”
After leading two teams to conference champion-ships in 1999 and 2001, Doty said he is now ready to try new things in his life.
He will continue to teach classes for the Human Health and Athletic Perfor-mance Department and also oversee internships for stu-dents.
Doty has helped find opportunities for players to get involved on campus and is now helping other students receive the same opportunities.
“The things that I will take with me are the experi-ences with the student ath-letes,” Doty said.
Former players from all over, including ones from Iceland and England,
remain in contact with him, following their college careers. Reconnecting with players and seeing how they are following their col-lege careers is something that Doty enjoys.
“He has devoted as much time, energy, and effort into the Linfield men’s basket-ball program as he possibly could,” Pine said. “When you drive past the HHPA, it doesn’t matter if it’s a weekday or weekend, 6 a.m. or midnight, there is a good chance you will see his car parked in front of Cook Hall.”
Although Doty has com-pleted his time with the men’s basketball program, this does not mean he is done impacting students’ lives at Linfield.
“It just seemed like the right time for me, my wife, my family and the right time for the basketball pro-gram,” Doty said.
It was a day for the record books for the women’s track and field team at the Jenn Boyman Memorial Invita-tional held at Maxwell Field on April 6.
Sophomore Hannah Greider set the 10th best 5,000-meter time in Lin-field history with a time of 18:12.99, and freshman Rachael Gernhart posted the eighth best mark in Linfield history in the triple jump, spanning 35 feet and one and three quarter inches.
Leading the way for the women were the relay teams, with the 4x400 meter and 4x100 meter relay teams both taking first place. In the other sprinting events, soph-omore Halsie Peek finished second in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.43 seconds and third in the 200-meter, running a 26.24 seconds.
In the throwing events, junior Anna LeBeaume fin-ished second in the discus, throwing for a mark of 35.63 meters, and first in shot put, 12.65 meters and hammer throw, 45.52 meters. Junior Courtney Alley finished third in the discus with a throw of 34.54 meters.
Junior Siena Noe finished out the top-three finishes for the women’s team in the 5,000-meter, finishing third with a time of 19:02.61.
For the men, senior Lester Maxwell placed first in the 800-meter. Maxwell ran the fastest time recorded for any Northwest Conference com-petitor, running the two laps in 1:55.28.
“All of those boys work really hard and have had a lot of external influences, like injury, that have kind of
been holding them back so it’s great getting to see them compete well,” Alley said.
The ’Cats showed their dominance in the throwing events with senior Drew Wert and freshman Stephan Hordes taking the top two spots in the shot put with throws of 13.31 and 12.96 meters. Sophomore Morgan Ewing took the top spot in the javelin, throwing 51.50 meter and senior Kyle Pfeif-er placed third in the ham-mer throw, tossing the object
48.91 meters.The next meet for the
Wildcats is the Pacific Luau meet scheduled for April 13 in Forest Grove, Ore. The first event starts at 10 a.m.
“Its always impressive to see people post qualifying standards or season’s best times or distances when the weather is not conducive to competing,” Maxwell said.
The Linfield baseball team took two of three games from Pacific Lutheran University on April 6 and 7, winning 12-8 and 10-2 and losing 3-1.
In game one on April 6, the doubleheader featured a matchup of two of the best pitchers in the NWC. Sopho-more Chris Haddeland (7-1, 1.02) emerged victorious for Linfield, while Max Beatty (5-3, 2.44) was knocked around by the ‘Cats in his worst outing of the season. Haddeland struck out 11, a career high, in seven innings, while giving up just three hits and three walks.
Beatty, who missed all of last season after being diag-nosed with cancer, pitched five innings and gave up nine runs (eight earned) on 13 hits and two walks, while striking out six. Beatty had given up a total of eight earned runs the entire season before this game so he saw his ERA balloon from 1.33 to 2.44. Beatty was named the top professional prospect in Division III last season by Baseball America, but the Linfield bats were not intimi-dated.
Linfield scored three runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings en route to building a 12-0 lead. Senior Tim Wil-son, juniors Jake Wylie and Kramer Lindell all had three hits on the day, and Wylie, Lindell and junior Nick Fish-er combined for 10 RBI.
Senior Clayton Truex had two hits for the ‘Cats, and senior Kyle Chamberlain continued his hot hitting with two hits, as well. Fisher and sophomore Corey Van-Domelen combined for the six walks Linfield accumu-lated during the game.
When asked about the success against Beatty, Fisher said “Beatty’s fastball was his best weapon, and he just wasn’t throwing it very often. We could sit on his off-speed pitches and make him come to our zone, and…he elevated a lot of those pitches.”
Aside from the hitting, a troubling trend continued for the Linfield bullpen, with the combination of sopho-mores Joe Stevick, Kyle Bil-leci and junior Garett Speyer combining to give up seven runs (six earned) on two hits and seven walks. Neither Stevick nor Billeci recorded an out, but Speyer eventu-ally closed the door on Pacif-ic Lutheran’s chances. This comes on the heels of a shaky bullpen performance in the 9-7 loss to Puget Sound on March 30.
The second game of the doubleheader ended in a 10-2 Linfield victory, high-lighted by seven strong innings from sophomore Aaron Thomassen (7-0, 1.18 ERA) and 12 more Linfield hits.
Thomassen struck out seven and walked just two, while giving up six hits and one earned run. Freshman Cody Erautt pitched the
final two innings, striking out three and giving up one earned run.
The ‘Cats chased Pacific Lutheran starter Cory Nel-son after just 4 1/3 innings. Nelson gave up eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and three walks. In a tale of the number three, Truex lashed three hits, senior Jordan Har-low scored three runs and Wilson collected three RBI. Linfield smashed 10 doubles in the two doubleheader games combined.
During Sunday’s 3-1 Lin-field loss, Pacific Lutheran starting pitcher Trevor Lub-king (7-1, 1.82 ERA) was throwing a no hitter through 5 2/3 innings before Fisher broke it up with a single to
center field. Lubking threw a season high 135 pitches, while striking out nine, and although Lubking entered the game with just 11 walks on the season, Linfield stretched its league leading walk total nonetheless. He issued six walks and six hits but scattered them through-out the game. None of the hits went for extra bases.
Linfield made Lubking and the Lutes sweat it out in the ninth inning, however, by loading the bases. Wylie, the NWC leader in RBI came up to the plate and put a good swing on a pitch, but there would be no clutch hit for Linfield on this day, as it landed safely in the glove of the left fielder.
“The entire weekend was just a wet, cold, grind-it-out kind of series…Today was definitely frustrating because the entire season, even in games where we weren’t all there offensively, it felt like every game our bats were about to finally get the big hit we needed…but today it didn’t, sometimes that’s just the nature of the game,” Fisher said.
Linfield starting pitcher junior Zach Brandon (4-2, 2.86 ERA) had a decent out-ing, striking out six in six innings while giving up three runs, but he ended up taking the loss any-how. Junior Justin Huckins pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth innings and
struck out three. Linfield pitchers combined to strike out 32 Pacific Lutheran bat-ters in 26 innings, which is well above their season K/9 rate of 7.7.
With the 3-1 win, Pacific Lutheran snapped its six-game conference losing streak, while the loss pushed Linfield into a tie in the loss column with George Fox.
The ‘Cats travel to Califor-nia next weekend for three nonconference games—two against Pomona-Pitzer and one against La Verne. La Verne shut out Linfield ear-lier this year, 6-0 in the first game of the season.
Sophomore Corey VanDomelen slides into third during the doubleheader against Pacific Lutheran on April 6. VanDomelen scored three runs for the Wildcats during the series.
In an away game against the University of Puget Sound on April 7, lacrosse lost 21-6, making it 0-8 for the season.
The Loggers had a previous win against the Wildcats this season, winning 19-4. Sophomore captain Rebecca Kropp went into the game excited by the chance to play with the team.
“We definitely have the skill and determination to play with them,” Kropp said. “Our attack has been working on moving the ball quicker and being a bigger threat, making the other team play defense.”
While the Wildcats have had a tough season, a close bond has formed between the mostly new members of the team.
“I think we will only lose two seniors next year so we have practi-cally the whole team coming back,” Kropp said. “During games and at practice we all treat each other as equals and everyone always has something to offer no matter how experienced they are.”
Two away games in Southern California marked two more losses for lacrosse during spring break, but as Kropp explains, the team was not disappointed with the games.
“We played really well,” Kropp said. “Our first game was rough because we had two subs and Chap-man had a full bench… so it was like we were playing two different teams.”
The Wildcats lost 25-2 in the
Catball secured its No. 1 con-ference ranking after sweeping two doubleheaders against George Fox University on April 6 and 7.
On April 7, the Wildcat soft-ball team won game one 12-3 and
game two 8-6. The results closely resembled the games from the day prior.
In game one, the Wildcats start-ed with four runs scored in the first inning. Junior Haylie Watson and sophomore Lisa Yamamoto both scored home runs, giving the Wildcats a 9-1 lead, and the Bruins never caught up.
Junior Ashley Garcia helped drive in four runs and scored two herself for the Wildcats.
Junior Karina Paavola with the assistance of freshman reliever Maddy Dunn only allowed the Bruins to have four hits and giving
The men’s basketball team held senior night Feb. 16 for all players leaving the team to say their good-byes and receive hon-ors from the program. However, one person was left out on this night. Head coach Larry Doty, or “Dotes” as players and other students know him as, is retiring after 26 seasons of coaching the Wildcats.
“It’s the fastest 26 years I have been through,” Doty said.
The tenured coach has held his position the longest in program history. He also recorded the most victories in program history with 330.
He was the last full-time fac-ulty and head coach hired by the school.
Doty attended West Linn High School, then Linfield for his undergraduate and master’s degrees, during which, he was a three-sport athlete, playing foot-
ball, basketball and baseball.“I had a great experience here
as an athlete,” Doty said.During his senior year playing
basketball, coached by Ted Wil-son, the team had the program’s all-time best scoring record with 2,676 points in 28 games. The team’s average was 95.6 points per game.
After having positive experi-ences with basketball in both high school and college, Doty stepped
into coaching himself.He coached the West Linn
Lions men’s basketball team. The team took fourth in the state dur-ing his final year of coaching.
As soon as he saw an opening for head coach at Linfield, Doty quickly applied for the position.
During his time as head coach, Doty made sure the men that went through his program had positive experiences.
In addition to the 100 hours spent to prepare for about 26 games a season, the team spends time bonding through fundrais-ing events, volunteering and team trips.
“We end up doing those kinds of things because we spend a lot of time together,” Doty said.
His players know him for all of the stories that he shares with them, which helps him standout as a lively individual.
“[Doty] is somebody who teaches his players much more than just the game of basket-ball. He is constantly teaching
his players life lessons as well,” senior Dakotah Pine said.
Doty’s son Dominic Doty is also a member of the basketball staff. He has served as an assis-tant coach for the past six years, in addition to his four years as head coach for women’s soccer.
“I think every son grows up wanting to be like their father. I was just lucky enough to be a part of his legacy, Dominic said in an email.
“I can’t begin to tell you all the things he has taught me or all the ways he has impacted my experi-ence as a coach today. I wouldn’t know where to start. But what I can say is that I am what I am as a coach and a person today because of him.”
Doty’s family was constantly sitting in the stands cheering him and Dominic Doty on at home games.
