The 2015 Business Expo and Career Fair was held in the Williams Conference Center on Oct. 16, and those who participated were eager to reap in the benefits.

47 vendors were present at the event, all from varying businesses and areas of expertise. Companies ranging from Clearwater Paper Corporation and the Lewiston Fire Department to Family Home Care and Washington State University were prepped and ready to talk to students and faculty about what they do and job opportunities at their businesses.

Potlatch #1 Federal Credit Union (P1FCU) had representatives from their company actively looking for LCSC students and grads to join their team. They are interested in having those folks work for their team because P1FCU is a company that is extremely involved in the community, and granting jobs to qualified locals is yet another way to give back.

“LCSC is a good school,” Human Resources Representative, Erin Hitchcock said when asked why P1FCU was interested in LCSC students. “We are already a proud supporter of the LCSC Warriors and having alumni to be a part of the business backs that even more.”

P1FCU was also one of the many companies holding drawings for

students and faculty, and had fun items to give away. Integrated Personnel Inc., a staffing agency, was holding a drawing for a Brava’s gift card and a camo baseball cap.

Brett Wilponen, an LCSC alum, is the office manager and an employment contractor of the Lewiston office for Integrated Personnel Inc. He was glad to be back at LCSC and assisting the campus community find employment.

“We are looking for good people to place in permanent positions.” Wilponen said.

Some companies were also offering applications to students on the spot for open internships and job positions. Pacific Empire Radio has several internship openings available, including a radio marketing consultant/sales position, and they are looking for qualified LCSC students to fit the bill. More information on that can be found by going to pacempire.com.

Along with the vendor career fair, there were also many seminars and workshops available for potential employees. These included “Resume Tips & Tricks”, “Interviewing”, “Self Assessments”, and “Customer Service”.

Those searching to better their job search skills weren’t the only ones

getting helpful tips. There were also an assortment of workshops and seminars presented for employers, including the “Road to Success”, “Workplace Wellness”, “How to Combat Turnover”, and “How Technology Has Changed Workplace Communications”. Many qualified business men and women were present to share their insights and tips, including Justin Jones from Cambia Health, and Debra Lybyer, the director of Career and Advising Services at Lewis-Clark State College.

OpiniOn

Midterms are fast approaching.As usual, the stress of the semester is starting to hit students full

force. Big tests, papers and presentations are all beginning to pile up. Activity in extra curricular activities is starting to dwindle as we scramble to keep caught up on school work.

As a senior, my dreaded disease of senioritis is starting to flare up. I’m sure this is the case with many others as well. Don’t let it get the best of you!

We’re almost there. Work hard and get it done. Dallas Callahan

A change of pace can be just what I need sometimes, even if it’s

something simple like going home for the weekend. Getting stuck in

routine is easy to do, so I took a much-needed home vacation this

weekend. Getting to see family and friends just made everything slow

down for a while. I didn’t worry about homework, or who I was going

to hang out with. I spent time relaxing and enjoying the company of

my family. I got some delicious home cooked meals, and before I knew

it I was back on the road for another eight-hour long drive back to

the Lew. It really can be the simple things that put it all back into

perspective for me.

See Elections, page 3

By Elijah Phippsof The Pathfinder

As the choosing of primary presidential candidates draws ever closer for the two main political parties, it is becoming ever increasingly important for us voters to decide who we support. For the Democrats, it seems like the choice will be between Sanders and Clinton, while for the Republicans…it’s pretty much between about half of the candidates still running. For voters who are registered as independent, it’s whichever candidate that gives us the longest chain. The sad thing is, the difference between the lengths of these chains seems to be in the centimeters for this coming election.

In the end, it’s always the same thing; we can either choose A or B and hope that our choice wins. That being said, what about options C through Z? For this, I am referring to other political

parties, more commonly known as “third parties” within the United States. News involving the upcoming election seems to only focus on the candidates of the main two parties, but what about the presidential candidates of the Constitution Party, Green Party, or even the Communist Party USA (yes, this actually exists to this day)? How many of you reading this actually know that these third parties exist, and how many presidential candidates are running for these parties? For most, if not all of you, the answer is probably “no idea” to the last question.To be perfectly honest, I would not be able to answer it either.

As of right now, to my basic knowledge, only three presidential candidates are running for the 2016 elections in Constitution Party, which is the third largest political party in the United States based on registered voters. However, in none of the elections that have occurred within the

lifetime of the mass majority of students at LCSC has there been a third party candidate that has gained enough votes to receive any Electoral Votes.

For those of you who know how the Electoral College works or have read my opinion piece in the last Pathfinder issue, you already know the reason why; in order for candidates to gain any Electoral Votes during the presidential election, their political party must receive the majority of votes within a state, and the only way to win the election is to have the majority of Electoral Votes. Because of this, the winning candidate takes all of the Electoral Votes of a state in which their party gained the majority of voters, leaving everyone else without a say.

In the 2012 elections, Republican voters within Idaho won with a majority of about 64% of the vote, which left about 32% of the Democratic voters, as well as the small percentage

Senate SummaryMeeting held Oct. 13, 2015

Elections, page 2 of voters that vote for third party candidates, to be left with no say as to who gained all 4 of Idaho’s Electoral Votes. In a state like Idaho, with a population of less than 2 million, and only having 4 of the 538 Electoral Votes, this doesn’t seem like much of an issue. The thing is, this is the same issue that nearly all the other states have in common, and is a

big deal when considering how many voters are essentially having their say ignored when it comes to who gets their states Electoral Votes. A great example of this is the 2012 presidential elections in California, in which the split was about 60% Democrat and 37% Republican. That means, in a state with the population of 38.8 million and having 55 Electoral

Votes, only three fifths of voters decided where all of California’s votes went towards.

As a result of this, huge percentages of voters have little say in the end of who receives their state’s Electoral Votes. I think we can all agree that the current Electoral College System is severely bugged. The main reason is simple and sad; through

this system, the majority gains the most say at the expense of the minorities’ voices. Nothing proves this more than the current state of third parties when it comes to the presidential elections. Instead of being considered as another option to the horrors that the two main parties offer, they are pushed to the side due to being nearly irrelevant. American

politics being split between two separate extremes, the current system makes it so that there is hardly any room for those who might see things differently. As such, third parties, as well as either of the two major parties that are minority in certain states, often have little say over who gets to be the next president.

Sexual Assault Awareness and Title IX on campus

By Mercedies Prunedaof The Pathfinder

Domestic Violence month and sexual assault go hand in hand.

Title IX is required by the government to be enforced at every college in the United Sates Department of Education. Dawn Byers is the designated coordinator of Title IX for LCSC. As coordinator, she creates a program for those who have not only been sexually assaulted, but creates awareness. She also makes sure the process of notification, investigation, and grievances is followed. Her mission is not only to be here to help students at the school, but also to more importantly “make a culture change”.

How is LCSC trying to create prevention against sexual assault?

The hardest part about prevention is not only making that culture change, but making students aware. LCSC has many different ways of prevention through education, policy enforcement, and a process for

student, faculty, staff and visitors to report Sexual Assault cases. At the beginning of the fall semester for New Student Orientation Dawn gives out information. There are also pamphlets handed out with information on what steps you can take if you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted. You can also find information at the Welcome Fair each year, and even signs posted around campus. If you are interested they do offer online training for those who want it. Also, every employee on campus is required to do sexual assault training. There is some talk as to whether or not they are going to require every student to do a short sexual assault training.

What if you are sexually assaulted?

First of all file a report! It does not matter where you are assaulted. Even if it has nothing to do with the school, if you are a student or employee at LCSC, they are here for you. If you are assaulted, you can go in and speak with Dawn. She is there to get

Phi Alpha club is cooking something up for the greater good.

Phi Alpha is the social work honor society on campus. On Oct. 14, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. the club set up a food booth next to the fountain on campus. What was on the menu? Homemade tamales for $5 each.

The club isn’t keeping the profits just for themselves. The proceeds from the sales are going to a good cause.

“We’re selling them for charity,” Bre’Annen Larson, the club president, said. “The money is going to the children’s home.”

There is also a sign-up sheet circulating around campus for anyone who’s interested in placing an order of homemade tamales. By signing up, one can buy a dozen tamales for $25.

Phi Alpha’s next event will be an appearance at the annual Pumpkin Palooza event on Halloween, located in downtown Lewiston. They will have caramel apples and Oreo cupcakes for sale. The club will also set up to sell tamales once again, but the

date is yet to be determined. For more information about

what the club has in the oven for

the semester, contact Bre’Annen at [email protected].

Guest Submission

By Okey GoodeLCSC Professor of English

What’s the most important thing you can do for most of the courses you take? GET THE RIGHT BOOK(S). Buy, rent, or download the exact edition shown on the LC Bookstore web page, where the book is identified by its ISBN (International Standard Book Number).

Like many of my fellow instructors, I spend time, effort, and thought in choosing the books I will build the course around. In my literature classes we refer to the text in detail for specific evidence to support our ideas, to examine cultural conditions and attitudes, and to consider the use of language. If you don’t have the book or have the wrong edition, you can do none of those essential things and will take little from the class.

Different editions of books can have different pagination, making it hard to quickly locate specific sections under discussion. Works in translation can sometimes vary so widely as to present an entirely different sense of a story, play, or poem. Even some texts with similar titles have different content. For example, Stoker is a horror film with Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska; “The Stoker” is the opening section of Franz Kafka’s strange 1920s novel Amerika; “Stoker” is the title of a short story I wrote (not remembering Kafka’s) named for Bram Stoker, who wrote Dracula. They share nothing except the

title.Most of your instructors are

very aware of the ungodly price of textbooks and strive to order the least expensive reliable texts available (although some courses have no options or must use a standard edition). Instructors must select texts three months before a course begins. We have already chosen and ordered books for the courses you will take in the spring.

In my classes (such as World Classics, ENGL 257, a core literature option), READING THE BOOK is the heart of the course. Not having the book with you wastes your time and mine because the point is not for me tell you what to think about the book’s ideas (although teaching that way is much easier) but to discern, scrutinize, and discuss your understanding of and perspective on those ideas. And as one aim of literature is PLEASURE, you don’t enjoy what you don’t read. (You may not enjoy what you do read, but that’s another matter; if you have the book, at least you’ll know why.)

Buying, renting, or downloading your books through the LC Bookstore is a good way to ensure getting the right book. If you acquire your books elsewhere—which may or may not be worth the time, effort, and risk for the money you might save—select the book by its ISBN, not the author or title. That number will guarantee that you get exactly the edition or translation that your instructor ordered for the course. Do us both a favor.

Buy the book!

Lewis-Clark State CollegePress Release

While many Idaho colleges are indicating a decline in enrollment, Lewis-Clark State College has seen an uptick in its headcount according to the Oct. 15 numbers released by the college.

Thanks, in part, to a 4.1 percent increase in students coming straight from high school, LCSC’s total headcount is 3,633, a modest increase from a year ago. Overall, new entering students are up by 8.8 percent. Due to a policy change by the Idaho State Board of Education, Tech Prep students (high schoolers earning technical college credits) are no longer included in total headcount. This adjustment is reflected in

the percentages listed.“It’s encouraging that we have

the largest first-year class in several years, and overall headcount is up, bucking a trend at many colleges,” LCSC President J. Anthony Fernandez said. “Enrollment remains a primary focus at Lewis-Clark State College and this is encouraging.”

LCSC continues to serve a largely first-generation population, with 68.8 percent of its student body composed of first-generation college students. Meanwhile, the diversity of its student body is increasing as well thanks to a 12 percent increase in racial and ethnic minority students.

“With an improving economy, federal and state policy changes,

and increased competition for students, it gets more and more challenging for colleges and universities to maintain, let alone grow, enrollments,” said LCSC Vice President for Student Affairs Andy Hanson. “This fall’s enrollment reflects the hard work LCSC’s faculty and staff do to offer a curriculum that is engaging and relevant. Students recognize the quality of our programs and services and know that LCSC will provide a quality educational experience.”

The Oct. 15 report comes after Lewis-Clark State set records for both graduates and degrees awarded at spring commencement.

LCSC enrollment is up, according to official numbers

you through it all. You are then offered free counseling right here on campus. Going to the police is certainly an option too. If you just needed someone to talk to, but you do not want to do anything about it; they respect that.

Coming up on Oct. 27 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Oct. 28 from 3-4:30 p.m. in SAC 112, there is a talk called Domestic & Sexual Assault Awareness Understanding, Prevention, and Support. “A panel of experts discusses the scope and consequences of assault and services available to the survivors.”

The Good Fight It’s an enchanted land of dust and devilshot and hurried, soft and settled. Whereflowers bloom at night or after the rainto keep their fragile petals safe from thesun. As a kid I’d climb high rocks, red likerust. Toward heaven, my hands raw fromgripping sandstone. The sun seemed closerin the desert, brighter, hotter. A heat that ...is unparalleled in form. I climbed withoutshoes, it was my routine to untie thempull my socks off and run. Up and far asI could go into the crags and dips ofancient formations sprung out of the sandthat gave such character to the dry untamed.I remember thinking at the time, as thewind was at it fiercest, high up and hiddenin the rocks that this was where the earthmet with the sun. That their communionthere was whole and created life out ofbleakness. I remember thinking that thiswas a place of my gods, hands scrapedfeet burning. These are the places I willalways go back to. These are my home. My god is the wind.And the peace thatcomes with it.

You baked those cookies for me.

I just wanna be yourfreedom of religion.“Call me when youget this.” It’s too muchto ask, but I’m ahopeless romantic.Dreaming about singingkaraoke, alone in a bar.Wake up and it’s thesame thing, except inthe car. You wonderwhy my voice is gone,I wonder where you’vebeen all along. “I don’tknow if this will makeany sense to you, butI think I’m in a tragedy.”It’s midnight and I’mtrying to find you. Areyou trying to find metoo?

Let me just preface this review with stating, I am not a fan of science fiction movies. The whole aliens, space, monsters thing really isn’t for me. That being said, “The Martian” is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. No, seriously.

Mark Watney (Matt Damon, at his best) is a botanist, working with his crew on Mars. An extreme storm hits, and Mark is thrown away from his team when hit with flying debris. The team assumes he is dead, and leaves Mars, departing on a ten-month trip back to Earth. Watney miraculously lives through the storm, which is just the beginning of his worries. Mark now has to try to survive on Mars, alone.

The film is definitely not short on star power. Damon’s costars include Jessica Chastain, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Pena, Donald Glover, and Sean Bean. Ensemble casts haven’t had much luck in the box office in recent years (see “Valentine’s Day”, for example), but somehow, it works here. Each person works within their role and fits their character.

Next up is the soundtrack. Although Watney seems to hate only having disco tunes to get him through while stuck on Mars, the music in the film is completely unordinary. The score for this film is straight out of the 70’s, and will keep audiences grooving throughout the entire two and a half hour movie. The sound of “I Will Survive” is ever so fitting to Watney’s predicament, and his quips about hating disco make it all the more enjoyable.

The cinematography and CGI in “The

Martian” are incredible. The scenery that is created on Mars is incredibly beautiful. There is one scene in particular that shows a breathtaking Mars sunset, painted with purplish skies. The scenery in the film almost makes it seem as if being stranded on Mars wouldn’t be that bad.

Overall, the film provides everything audience members should be looking for in a cinematic experience: stellar performances, groovy music, gorgeous scenery, edge-of-your-seat suspense, plenty of surprising laughs, and just plain awe. “The Martian” provides all these, and takes audience members on a journey they won’t soon forget.

“The Martian” hits the mark

The Fourth Wall Art Studio and Gallery opened its art studio for the community to come paint bowls on Wednesday, Oct. 14 for the YWCA’s annual SOUPort Our Shelters event on Friday, Feb. 26.

Members of the community were able to paint a bowl with any design they wanted. There was a rainbow of colors to choose from, and an endless amount of creative ideas flowing from person to person.

Painters were able to contribute to the event, even if they were not able to attend the event later on.

Eight cases of bowls were painted that night, totaling 64 bowls painted. Over 30 people from the community attended the painting event, which is the most there has ever been. At one point during the night, there were not enough chairs and stools left to sit on, so people had to stand over the tables if they wanted to paint – and everyone was happy to do that! As long as they were able to paint, they were able to adapt to the circumstances.

The next, and last, bowl painting event will be on Wednesday, Oct. 28 from 6-9 p.m. at the Fourth Wall Art Studio and Gallery! For just $25, you can purchase a soup lunch, as well as one of the painted bowls! All finances goes to the shelters and benefits people who are in need. So, stop by and paint a few bowls, or even attend the SOUPort Our Shelters event on Friday, Feb. 26.

LCSC to host State Board of Education Meeting

By Amanda Wallace of The Pathfinder

Always wanted to check out Shakespeare plays? Don’t want to go to the Idaho Shakespeare festival? And want to go out of town for four days? Then you’re in luck because the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is ten hours away from Lewiston and it’s worth the long bus ride along with the bond experience. Many lucky students attended the 80th Anniversary of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival this past weekend. It started bright and early on Wednesday morning and finished bright and early in the morning on Saturday. In between those days, I had a great experience. Students found themselves not wanting to leave the beautiful, breathtaking taking city of Ashland, OR. There are some certain plays that people cannot get into and that’s okay because not everyone would like the same plays. Or it would be a dull world, and nobody would be different or have reasoning why they like that play.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival was founded by Angus L. Bowmer back in 1935 in

Ashland, Oregon. Bowmer used to stage Shakespeare’s plays with his students at the SOU (Southern Oregon University, used to be the Southern Oregon Normal School) before his vision expanded to include teaching the thousands of people who came to OSF who came each year. It’s apart the oldest and largest professional non-profit theatres in the nation. Bowmer proposed producing a “festival” of two plays during Ashland’s Fourth of July celebration. Shakespeare’s Twelfth night and The Merchant of Venice during that weekend. Twelfth Night would run both Friday, the second of July and it would close on Sunday, the Fourth of July while The Merchant of Venice would play on Saturday night, the third of July. Thus creating the Shakespeare festival in Ashland, OR. The city gave Bowmer a sum of $400. So he made the reserved seats cost $1, with the general admission $.50 for adults and $.25 for children. The prices, the festival covered its own expenses while performing in the Elizabethan Stage (which is now called the Allen Elizabethan Theater). The theater was built in place of the original Chautaque

building that Bowmer was struck by the resemblance between the walls of the Chautaque and some sketches that he had seen. The City told Bowmer that they would hold boxing matches held on stage since the city feared that the plays would lose money. Although, it was the boxing matches that lost the money instead of the plays.

Over the years, the festival grew and we are fortune to have two professors who has a class that they offer here. The faultily members who teach this class is, Dr. Peter Remien (a Shakespeare scholar in the humanities division.) and Nancy Lee-Painter who happens to be the professor of Theatre. They were asked a series of questions about OSF (Oregon Shakespeare Festival).

Q: What drove the both of you to start this class together and take the trip to Ashland?

Remien: “The idea for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival class began with a conversation that Nancy and I had while we were carpooling to campus from Moscow. Nancy had been an actress in the festival and we were excited about the idea of giving students the chance to experience a world-class repertory theater.”

WEB Zombies takeover LCSCBy Mercedies Pruneda

of The Pathfinder

You may have noticed last week students running rampant, strapped with nerf guns. No need to worry, this was all set up as a part of an activity on campus called WEB (Warrior Entertainment Board) Zombie. This is the third year this game has taken place. If you weren’t able to join in on the fun this year, don’t worry there is always next year. This semester students had such an amazing time that it continued on longer

than planned. WEB Zombies is a real life

rendition of the television series “The Walking Dead”. Of course, just like any other game there are rules and different activities taken place throughout the event.

The game starts out with all students as humans, and a select few (Team 0) who are the original zombies. The originals begin infecting participating humans by tagging them around campus at any time. Once you become a zombie, you then wear a red bandana and it is your job to

try and tag other humans to change them to zombies. For every person they change into a zombie, they receive 100 points. Sounds simple, but they are required to feed (tag someone) on at least one person every 24 hours. If they do not, then they die. It may sounds pretty easy to be a zombie hypothetically at the top of the food chain, but if you are hit by the originals (Brandon, Eric, Cody, Stacey or Duncan) you are stunned for two hours. If you are a zombie and you hit one of the originals first you get

a certain amount of kills and a revival card. A revival card turns you, the zombie, back into a human.

As a human, you have a nerf gun, red bandana for identification and a brain ball, which you use to stun a zombie before it touches you. You are also required to take part in missions in order to gain points. One of the main missions is called “Running Naked”. This is where you have to run from the Administration building, all the way to Sam Glenn with absolutely

no weapons. This is where strategy all comes into play, because unlike the show “Walking Dead” these zombies can run! Just like the zombies you are also targeted and targeting the originals. If humans are tagged by the originals you lose 100 points. If you manage to tag them before they tag you, you gain 500 points.

Ultimately the more points the better! Gaining point’s gives you the opportunity to win prizes. For more information, contact WEB.

PATHFINDER.NEWSPAPER.9

COmmentary

By Taylor Marshallof The Pathfinder

Week six in the NFL season has come and gone, and five teams are still undefeated. The Packers, Patriots, Panthers, Broncos and Bengals all have yet to lose and are playing great football.

To see these many undefeated teams at this point in the season is truly impressive. However this trend will not continue as these teams will continue to play tougher and tougher teams and a few of these teams will play each other at some point this season, ending the winning ways.

New England and Denver play week 12 and if both teams remain undefeated, one will lose in that game. Green Bay and Carolina play in three weeks, and again one team will lose that game as well.

The Denver Broncos are a huge surprise at this point. Quarterback Peyton Manning has played horribly, yet the teams’ defense has been stellar, keeping them in the games and a few times winning the games for Denver. The best defense in the league has time and time again created turnovers and scored four touchdowns themselves.

But the Cinderella run will soon end for Denver, as they play the Packers next week, followed by tough games against the Colts, Chiefs, Patriots and eventually the unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals. The Broncos have lucked out playing a week schedule but if Manning continues to play this bad, the Broncos run of winning will soon end.

Carolina went into Seattle

this past week and played the struggling Seahawks. The Panthers have been under the radar so far this year but Sunday’s win over the defending NFC champs put this team on the map. Carolina trailed late in the game and superman quarterback, Cam Newton, led them on multiple scoring drives including the game winning drive.

With less than two minutes left on the clock Newton worked the ball downfield against the vaunted Seattle defense and threw a strike down the seam to tight end Greg Olsen who made a great catch and sealed the victory for the Panthers.

Cincinnati is also a surprise team at this point. The Bengals have one of the more talented rosters in the league, but quarterback Andy Dalton has continuously been the player holding this team back from being great in past years. This year Dalton has been great, spreading the ball to all his weapons and finally playing at the level that his team needs him to be at.

The Bengals and Panthers have been great but I look for them to lose some games here soon and fall from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Coming into the season, the teams ranked number one and two in the league were the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. These two have done nothing but win this season and it would be no surprise to see these teams remaining undefeated deep into the season.

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are the two best quarterbacks in this league and they lead their teams with gusto and brilliance. Of all these teams, the Packers and Patriots are no fluke, they are the two best teams in the NFL and they will be vying for the Super Bowl title when this season is all said and done.

So far this NFL season has been an excellent one. And to see all the teams winning like this is truly remarkable at this point in the season. Look for some of them to lose and a few to keep on winning.

Who will rise and who will fall?

Lewis-Clark State College Press Release

The Frontier Conference released its weekly award winners on Monday afternoon and a pair of Lewis-Clark State College student-athletes, Rachel Cundy and Kennadie Clute, were honored for their performances the week ending Oct. 18.

Cundy, who earned her second such award this season, was named Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Week for her finish at the Inland Empire Challenge on Saturday. The North Lakewood, Wash. Senior finished ninth in the 86-runner field, finishing with a 5-kilometer time of 17:38 to help lead the Warriors to a four-place team finish. In less than ideal conditions, Cundy continued her impressive season as LCSC’s top performer.

On the court, Clute also earned her second weekly award this season, being named Attacker

of the Week for her 18 kill performance in the 3-0 sweep of Montana Tech. A 6-foot-1, senior, outside hitter from Spokane, Wash., Clute has been an all-around player all season for the Warriors, as she hit .400 in the contest while averaging six kills and 2.3 digs per set. She also had the lone solo block for LCSC.

Clute will look to continue her impressive season this weekend as the Warriors host Montana Western at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22 before welcoming No. 6 Rocky Mountain to the Activity Center at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 as part of Homecoming 2015.

Cundy and the cross country team have three weeks off before they travel to Great Falls, Mont. to compete in the Frontier Conference Championships.

On Oct. 12, Lewis-Clark State College hosted Tammy Crawford, Ph. D. to talk about career opportunities in sports. This lecture was part of Dr. Bob Frederick Sport Leadership Lecture Series on LCSC that emphasized sports and leadership. A little background about Dr. Crawford: she is currently serving as a Clinical Assistant Professor and Program Director for the Sports Management Program at Washington State University. In the past years, Dr. Crawford changed the WSU rowing club into an intercollegiate-varsity team and became the head coach from 1990-2002.

An interesting thing in the talk was that Crawford spilled the beans to the audience that when she was a freshman in Washington State University, she changed her major four times, and never planned to pursue a professional career in sports. This fact was very eye-opening- how real life and dreams can come up next to each other during the college stage.

Crawford then revealed several opportunities to pursue a career in sports. People might think pursuing a career in sports would mean becoming an athlete, which this not always true.

Consider this, how is an intercollegiate sports team made? How do people know if there’s any home game in a university, and where to get the fans to support the team? How to keep the varsity team succeeding in their practices? How to recruit the athletes for the varsity team? How

to get other teams to compete with your team? How to manage a trip for the team to compete? How to keep the student-athletes performing well both in the sports and academically? All of these question Crawford brought up became the idea of sports in business that created more job opportunities to work with. Crawford talked in depth on each possibilities and opportunities on those questions.

Towards the end of the talk, Crawford advised the students to go for at least B+ on their classes while at undergrad school, because a master degree is necessary to achieve at some point. Regardless how smart you are, Crawford also mentioned that having a skill set - how do you engage and communicate with people- are also needed in order to be succeed. Crawford also told the students try many different things, because you won’t know whether you’ll like it or not until you do it. Build a connection with people, make a good impression - you don’t realize how people actually notice whether you dressed appropriately or not, whether you come on time or not, and how you understand the revenue on the field you’re studying at until it comes down to getting a job. Also, be a problem solver!

Tammy Crawford presents in 2015 Dr. Bob Frederick Sport

Leadership Lecture SeriesLee-Painter: “When

Peter Remien came to LC as our Shakespeare scholar in the Humanities Division a little over two years ago, I immediately approached him about working together to take students to OSF and to do it as a class. Our planning sessions were easy to arrange because we are neighbors in Moscow and commute together to campus. Peter did the leg work to apply for an institutional development grant and make this trip an official class in the LC catalogue and now we work together to coordinate travel, lodging and additional funding for the trip. Since LC has gone to the OSF before, our Humanities Chair, Martin Gibbs was very enthusiastic in supporting this trip and making it a class. This is our second year traveling as a class and the first year we coordinated with UI to charter a bus so we didn’t have to drive students in vans-which is so much nicer that we profs get to relax on the bus with students and discuss the productions we saw. We’ve already reserved tickets for next year and so look forward to seeing Yeoman of the Guard by Gilber and Sullivan, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Twelfth Night and Hamlet by Shakespeare.”

Q: Did you have a previous experience with the festival in Ashland or a different Shakespeare festival?

Lee-Painter: “As far as my own experience with OSF-well I’ve been going to see plays there since I was an undergraduate student some 30 plus years ago. But my most intimate experience with the festival was as an actor in the company back in 2002 when I was in The Winter’s Tale and a brand new production called Handler by Robert Schenkkan which opened what is now the Thomas Theatre. Handler was

directed by OSF new comer, Bill Rausch who is now the artistic director of the festival.”

Q: What’s LCSC’s history in going to this festival?

Lee-Painter: “The University of Idaho has the Rex Reynold fellowship that enables one UI student to be a member of the OSF acting company every year for at least one season. UI regularly takes students to the festival to see the shows and meet with the Reynold fellow that year. Several years ago a small group of LC students went with UI to the festival and I wanted to do it again but had a hard time organizing it all by myself as I organize the opportunity to take LC students to our Kennedy Center American College Theatre festival every year as well.”

Q: What was the administrator’s reaction to this?

Remien: “The administration was extremely supportive from the onset and we have been really fortunate to have gotten support from the Institutional Development Grant and the Associated Students of Lewis-Clark State College (ASLCSC). LCSC tends to foster collaborative education because we are small

and student-focused. The trip has inspired virtually every student who has participated.”

Along with the plays and: Much Ado about Nothing, Guys & Dolls, Long Day’s Journey into Night, and Pericles. Not only that, we had a chance to have a discussion session with Jeremy Peter Johnson who played Skye Masterson in Guys & Dolls. With each play, it brought its own uniqueness and so amazing moments that stays with you long afterwards. They amaze you how they transform Shakespeare world and turned it into this breathing taking set. Everyone who was involved, has done an incredible job with every challenged they face every day.

Anyone who is passionate about the arts and theater should check out the Oregon Shakespeare Festival if you have the chance. You will not be disappointed, but instead you would be highly impressed and leave with wanting more from them.
