The Linfield Review
Citation preview
She didn’t think she was capable of competing with an award-win-ning forensics team when she began college, sophomore Clara Martinez said.
But Martinez has been part of Lin-field’s forensics team since the begin-ning of her freshman year. The team recently participated in the Steven Hunt Classic tournament at Lewis & Clark College on Oct. 6 and 7, which featured several Linfield finalists.
Sophomore Stephanie Stovall was a finalist in the impromptu per-suasion category, while Martinez was a finalist in the analysis commu-nication section.
Before that, at the United States Air Force Academy Forensics Classic on Oct. 1, junior Chris Forrer received a first place in Open Program of Oral
Interpretation and second place in Open After-Dinner Speaking. Marti-nez placed third in Open Communi-cation Analysis.
Jackson Miller, associate profes-sor of communication arts, coaches the team.
Each tournament features indi-vidual events, such as extemporane-ous speaking, impromptu speaking and performing literature.
There are also British parliament
debates, which feature debates on controversial issues and current events.
“We have debate topics related to current events,” Martinez said. “Not all of the topics are about cur-rent events, though. Some are aimed more toward engaging students in philosophical debates.”
The team prepares for meets at weekly practices, where members catch up on news, write debate briefs
and practice speeches, said junior Linh Tang, who has participated in forensics since her freshman year.
“You have to be well-versed in current events if you want to be able to compete and do well,” Martinez said.
Being on the forensics team is time consuming and requires intense dedication, Martinez said. But the experience connects her to students at Linfield and from different insti-tutions who are equally passionate about debate and the art of commu-nication, she said.
“I meet so many different stu-dents from colleges because you spend so much time in tourna-ments,” she said. “We all share this love for competing and public speak-ing.”

”It will change your college life in a way you would never expect.
-Linh Tang Junior
“ Forensics team speaks out about experiences
The school is spending money on resistance repairs for the vandalized Linfield signs on campus, including the entrance signs on Booth Bend and Davis Street.
“The cost of repairs including new letters and staff time for instal-lation is just under $5,000,” said Brad Sinn, director of facilities and auxiliary services.
The money for these repairs comes from the facilities services operating budget.
While it is necessary to replace the Linfield signs, what is being done to prevent more vandalism from happening on campus?
“College Public Safety (CPS) has enhanced patrols as part of targeted enforcement measures and is work-ing closely with the McMinnville Police Department on this matter,” said Linda Powell, senior director of human resources and administra-tion/risk manager.
With the facilities services oper-ating budget at hand, it seems that it would be helpful to purchase additional security cameras near the entrance signs to catch the culprit behind these acts and to spot any other potential vandals that make their way onto the Linfield campus.
CPS, with as few officers as it has, already has a lot on its plate to deal with without having to increase patrols around the Linfield entrance signs. CPS officers can’t possibly catch everything that hap-pens on campus and that is where additional security cameras could help.
In the long run, security cam-eras would help CPS become more efficient by saving extra time and effort. Security cameras can spot what CPS patrol officers miss while they are dealing with other issues.
In the meantime, everyone on the Linfield campus can help keep
the school looking pretty and van-dalism-free by being on the lookout for any suspicious behavior.
“Such senseless vandalism wastes time and resources, and personally, I find it offensive and disrespectful to our Linfield com-munity,” Powell said. “We ask that all members of our community be observant and report any suspicious behavior to CPS or the McMinnville Police Department.”
Students shouldn’t simply take for granted what a clean and pre-sentable campus Linfield has to offer.
If everyone ignores vandal-ism when it happens, more and more money will have to be spent on replacing items on campus. The combination of purchasing additional security cameras and students reporting suspicious behavior to either CPS or the McMinnville Police Department
will help to maintain the beauty and integrity of Linfield College.

LINFIELD REVIEWThe EDITORIAL
Hi Chris and editors:Chris, I know you are
a provocative guy, so I would like to respond to your article about Greek Life. The article, which ran a couple weeks ago chal-lenged Greeks to be spirited and respond. And now, I challenge you to post this letter to the editor in your next Linfield Review. I’m sure you will find many Greek members would like to see a rebuttal.
I am a proud Phi Sig who knows that Rush is an important part of Greek Life, and every Greek mem-ber would agree with that.
But using football to get recruits? Let me start by explaining our recruitment schedule.
We practice for months in advance for Rush. Your assumption of correla-tion between Rush ending and Greeks not attending the game is fair, but your
causality is flawed.The cause of sisters not
being at the game? I wasn’t able to go home weeks prior to rush because we had prac-tices, so when I was able to go home after Rush ended, I did. Many other sisters did the same thing.
Combine that with the horrible weather and the sickness spreading across campus, and it’s fair to say that most of Linfield wasn’t feeling very spir-
ited for that game. Also, if we just want-
ed to put “butts in the seats” at meetings we wouldn’t require high standards for sisterhood, such as GPA, community service and involvement in campus activities. I am sure there were some enthusi-astic Greek members who wanted to get freshmen excited about Rush at these football games, but assum-ing that we’re all just try-
ing to “pick them up” is insulting to new mem-bers and Greeks alike.
Finally, I would like to say that Greek members were alive and well at the homecoming game this weekend, and it would’ve been that way with or with-out your article’s challenge. Because the Greeks love their ’Cats, but sometimes even the best fans deserve a break.

Dear Bailey,“How does someone
know when sexual assault has occurred and what should they do if it occurs?”
- Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,Sexual assault is present
any time a sexual act takes place that involves force, the threat of force, coercion or lack of consent. Feeling physical or emotional pow-erlessness are good indi-cators that you are in that situation. This also includes voyeurism and pornogra-phy. Just being placed in a situation where you fear
that an act of sexual assault will take place can be con-sidered a crime. The intent during sexual assault is almost always violence, not desire. As long as there is no verbal consent, it is consid-ered assault. Both partners need to agree to the sexual act.
Sexual assault is a
broader definition than rape because rape can be different depending on the state. In Oregon, rape is any unwanted sexual inter-course with any amount of penetration. Most sexual assault cases happen with someone that the victim knows. Also, most assaults could be stopped if the vic-tim simply screamed for help.
When either rape or sex-ual assault occurs, do not clean up at all. Don’t wash, change your clothes, brush your teeth or tidy up where the incident took place. If you decide to, report it to
law enforcement first. Call 9-1-1 if you are injured. The sooner you get it reported the more available evidence there will be. The next step is to get medical attention at immediate care or the E.R. right after calling the police.
After receiving medical help, when you are ready it is important that you receive counseling. All of these are of course optional but highly recommended. Reporting the assault could prevent it from happening to another person. What is important is your safety and the safety of those around you.
- Bailey
Column
Don’t wait to report sexual assault
Between elections, Occupy Wall Street, the death of Steve Jobs and the uprisings in Libya and the middle east, this is an important time for the up and coming generations to be informed.
Many can find it difficult while away at school to be as informed as they were back home. Students are without parents’ influenc-ing opinions and current events (whether welcomed or not), and have less access to daily newspapers and less time to watch news programs.
Whatever the case may be, it’s certainly unwar-
ranted for students to be uninformed with all the resources available in this time of technology.
Many turn to Twitter or Facebook or word of mouth for their news, which at least allows them to know what’s being discussed in the news, but these things
don’t quite help them understand enough to form opinions or ideas regarding the issues.
Not to make a general-ization, because this obvi-ously doesn’t apply to all students, however, the lack of knowledge about certain aspects of today’s news has come as a shock to me lately.
In many classes, top-ics like Occupy Wall Street and the elections have been brought up, and when stu-dents have been asked to volunteer to explain the rea-soning or speak about the candidates, the norm has been shy, unbroken silence.
We are all guilty of this response from time to time, and this is not to say that I, too, don’t remain silent and unconfident in my knowl-edge of Libya politics or Rick Perry’s campaign.
I’m a firm believer that once a problem is addressed, it is that much easier to solve it. And with all the resources avail-able, the current genera-tion simply needs to make a conscious effort to stay informed—for these issues are important to our lives and crucial to our country.
Women dressed in cloth-ing showing more than the social norm wander down the streets in multiple cit-ies. They clutch signs with the words “Slut Pride.” “Slut” is written on their bodies.
The term “slut” has been used bluntly throughout history to identify a woman who is thought to allow men to take advantage of her.
In Toronto, five women started a protest against the argument that rape occurs because of a woman’s appearance.
They started a protest series that spread rapidly throughout the world called “SlutWalks.”
Most people may think that this is just another way to show extreme femi-nist beliefs. However, this protest is more about the fact that women are being judged about the way they dress because they are seen as “targets for rape.”
The idea of this protest is not technically trying to get rid of the term “slut.” It is more about trying to fight against society’s expecta-tions of what a woman should dress like.
Women are not the only ones fighting for this cause. Men are also participating to help encourage the idea.
According to the Wash-ington Post, SlutWalks has become “one of the most successful feminist actions in the last 20 years.”
Rape is a sensitive sub-ject that has been becom-ing an issue all across the country.
There should not be an attachment to what a
person wears to consider them a “target.” Freedom of speech and expression exist.
If a woman wants to go around and bare it all, then she should go ahead. Soci-ety should not try to blame what they wear for an issue as big as rape.
These protests are doing more then just promoting feminism. They are inform-ing society of the ignorance that has risen over the centuries that involve the appearance of women.
The information that the SlutWalks has exposed has opened the eyes of millions with all the attention it is getting. This fight is not just for feminists, it is for all that are being judged because of the way they look.
If a person wants to look a certain way, it is not right for someone else to criti-cize their appearance. What they do is their business.
Society does not need to attach some stigma because a girl wears a lot of make up or likes showing a little leg or stomach.
Everyone has their own idea of what a woman should look like and what a man should look like, but attaching rape to it is too extreme.
Clothes serve as freedoms of expression

If you’ve been following the coverage of “Occupy Wall Street,” you know that the people are angry. The people are so angry that the protest has continued all across the country. It has spread both to large and small cities. Cities all over the country organized mass gatherings.
On Oct. 6, about 10,000 people gathered in down-town Portland to peacefully protest the corporate corrup-tion that our country has been suffering through for years. The parks were covered in signs saying things like, “If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention,” “End the war, End the Fed,” “We are the 99%,” and “Close your bank account.”
Many people spoke of their financial struggles and lack of well-being. Even a policeman took the stage to express his concerns about the corporate greed.
Our generation, the people born between the years of
1980-1995, is bigger than the “Baby Boomers.” We are the strongest group of people in the nation right now, and we have the power to make the government listen.
We want justice from the 1 percent (the corporations). We want political and social equality. We want democracy back in America. What hap-pens when we have children? What happens when we want to buy a house but can’t because we’re strapped with student loans? These are the loans that we have to pay to get an education to get a good job to barely keep us afloat in this suffering economy.
The current administration has sent the next three genera-tions into a downward spiral. When the big banks, such as Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, go down, where is your money going to go? The wealthy and corporations pay less money in taxes than the middle and lower classes do.
According to the Decla-ration of the Occupation of New York, the government and corporations have spent and donated large amounts of money on politicians and their campaigns instead of programs that fund the peo-ple.
These large entities keep us dependent on oil and throw us around with the prices. The government makes laws that benefit the banks.
They purposely keep the people misinformed and fearful through control of the media. They have under-mined the farms of America because of monopolization.
And through animal cru-elty, torture and confinement, the government has profited and kept these practices secret from us. These are only a few of the grievances listed in the Declaration.
The government privatizes everything. Water bottles, for example, privatize a worldly resource and turn it into some-thing that we pay for and think we “need.” While we can get water for free through our taps, we continue to pur-chase plastic water bottles that are a giant waste and threat to the environment. Why does the government do this? For a profit, of course.
Protests alone won’t change or solve the financial problems that our country is having, but they can spur a change. To begin our reform, we need to cleanse the gov-ernment of corrupt leaders and restore democracy to America.

Applause erupted as the ribbon to TJ Day Hall was cut, leading to the festivities inside.
Alumni, community members, students and faculty all gathered for the dedication ceremony of the recently rennovated TJ Day Hall on Oct. 8.
President Thomas Hellie opened the ceremony by thanking everyone for being there.
He then gave special thanks to other individu-als, such as Vivian Bull, a former Linfield presi-dent, Marvin Henberg a former dean of students, McMinnville Mayor Rick Olson and Jamie Watson, the head architect for TJ Day Hall.
Formerly known as Nor-thup Hall, the establishment was built in 1936, named for Linfield’s first president, Emanuel Northup.
The hall served as the library until 2003 when Nicholson Library opened.
It was at that time that ideas were being made for what Northup Hall could become.
TJ Day Hall was named for Professor TJ Day, who “had a passion for this school.”
He has shown decades of support by helping with the fundraising for many other halls on campus, such as Renshaw Hall, Riley Center, Vivian Bull Music Center and others.
With the building con-taining about 25,000 square feet, TJ Day Hall houses the departments of English, Business, Economics and Philosophy, as well as the Writing Center.
Classroom capacity has increased by 27 percent with the addition of TJ Day Hall.
Along with the building increasing classroom num-bers, TJ Day Hall will also
be Linfield’s first Leader-ship in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design (LEED) certified building.
“This is a special build-ing,” said David Hauge-berg, chair member on the the Board of Trustees. "It stands for Linfield’s mis-sion statement about the importance of a liberal art education.”
Though the hall will no longer be called Northup Hall, there is a memorial plaque inside for Northup.
The building embodies both history and the future. The south side appears new and modern, while the north side stays true to its original state.
TJ Day and his family attended the ceremony and thanked the audience for being part of such a special day. TJ Day received the honor of cutting the rib-bon before the reception occurred.

Linfield College’s 2010 Security and Fire Safety Report was released. Among other things, the report showed an increase in liquor law violations and both forc-ible and non-forcible sexual offenses on campus.
The report included the statistics from 2008 to 2010 and links to institutional policies concerning campus security.
The crime statistic con-cerns the reported crimes that occurred on-campus, in off-campus buildings
It also covered property owned or controlled by the college or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campuses.
In the McMinnville Cam-
pus, there was no report on criminal homicide, robbery and aggravated assault, arrests or referrals for dis-ciplining on weapons viola-tions last year.
For burglary, the report cases were reduced to zero last year from 2008’s 15 cases on and off-campuses.
However, there is a slight increase in the cases of arrests for liquor law vio-lation.
As for drug violation, larson and motor vehicle theft categories, reported cases re-appeared last year after having no record in 2009.
It also showed an increase in both forcible ad non-forcible sexual offenses on campus, with six out of 11 incidences happening in residence halls, though
there is a drop in non-cam-pus property.
The cases of referrals for discipline for liquor law violations and drug viola-tions also surged on cam-pus, especially in residence halls.
For the Portland Cam-pus, the number of report-ed cases in all categories is significantly smaller, with one forcible sex offense and motor vehicle theft in public property as well as two on-campus burglaries.
For the adult degree pro-gram, there was no report on crime at all.
The report also covered the methods of reporting incidents and emergencies, misconduct and missing persons.
It outlined the college’s system of notifying and
being notified of emergen-cies.
It also contained a bro-chure on how to respond to emergencies.
The report was prepared by the college’s College Public Safety (CPS).
Along with CPS’s work, other organizations collab-orated to create the report.
This included local law enforcement agencies, the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Environ-mental Health and Safety.
For more information or the full version of the report, go to www.linfield.edu/college-public-safety/annual-report.html or by contacting CPS at (503)-883-7233.
DigitalCommons@ Linfield completes successful first year
Linfield’s recently launched online repository has received a satisfying amount of attention in the first year of its existence.
The archive collects scholarly and creative works by Linfield faculty and students, displaying the works online at digi-talcommons.linfield.edu.
According to its website,
the archive has had 1,105 works submitted to date, and more than 7,000 works have been downloaded in the past year.
Since its creation, Digi-talCommons@Linfield has had visitors from 61 coun-tries and 48 states.
The online archive, which was organized one year ago, organizes con-tributed works into digital compilations. A visitor to the site can browse by col-
lection, discipline or author. The DigitalCommons@
Linfield homepage also provides collections of the top 10 downloads, the 20 most recent additions and a featured “Work of the Day.”
The repository is also home to collections like the archive of campus publica-tions and peer-reviewed journals, and the Linfield Authors gallery, which lists faculty who have published books.
However, literature is not the only thing fea-tured in DigitalCommons@Linfield.
For example, the 2011 Student Portfolio Exhibi-tion features the works of art from the 2011 Thesis/Portfolio exhibition.
In the section titled, “Student Scholarship & Creative Works,” site visi-tors can read about col-laborative sculptures and toothpick structures, and
they can see pictures of the sculptures built by the Introduction to Studio class during the 2011 January Term.
D i g i t a l C o m m o n s @Linfield provides opportu-nities to find information that may not be included in the repository with links to Linfield department web-sites, the Linfield library website, the Linfield maga-zine and the International Programs website.
Students and faculty can contribute content to the archive by contacting the Digital Commons coordi-nators Carol McCulley and Kathleen Spring at [email protected] or by submitting work online by clicking “Submit Research” on the DigitalCommons@Linfield homepage.

Even just between the eight girls sitting in an odd-shaped circle, the passion and excitement during the first community service roundtable meeting of the year was contagious.
The group met Oct. 4, mainly discussing the out-comes of Taste of Service and also brainstorming community service activi-ties.
This was the first of the monthly meetings, which, just like in years prior, invites all students inter-ested in community service to discuss ideas for ways to get involved. However, there has been a change since last year concern-ing community service at Linfield.
Change Corps has been initiated, bringing a new student perspective to the office of Community Engagement and Service.
A group of five students comprises the Change Corps, with two directors and three coordinators who are all dedicated to orga-nizing community projects and engaging students in service.
One of the corps’ direc-tors, sophomore Shelby Hollenbeck, said that the Change Corps has been an empowering change for Linfield.
“I think there’s a really big interest in community
service from students, but we didn’t have the staff to really make everything happen,” Hollenbeck said. “So now [we can] help pro-vide the school with more
opportunities and give the students more responsibil-ity to make things happen.”
The Change Corps works on projects, such as Taste of Service, Make a Difference
Day, Global Youth Day of Service, alternative spring break and others.
“We’re very broad,” Hollenbeck said. “We have everything from environ-
mental issues and sites to the youth and reading, to hunger and homelessness, we cover a lot of different projects and opportuni-ties.”
The core group meets weekly to coordinate new project ideas, discuss how they can improve, and come up with new ideas of how to engage more students in the community.
“[The Change Corps] are passionate about what they’re doing and they’re students who want to be involved and get other stu-dents involved in the com-munity,” Hollenbeck said. “Many people don’t know we exist because we’re a new program, but we are here and we’re here for students. We love to have other students involved and helping and volunteer in here or just give their input.”
Because having student involvement is such a huge part of their jobs and com-munity service as a whole, Hollenbeck said that having the once-a-month round-table meeting will help gain valuable input on how stu-dents feel about the projects and activities and to inform them of upcoming events.
“It’s important to have monthly meetings to keep the students aware and engaged on what’s hap-pening in our office—it helps let the students know what’s going on and get their opinion,” she said. “It helps us help them get involved.”

Forensics: Members share undebatably positive experiences
Joanna Peterson can be reached at [email protected].
Tang said the team has impacted her life in a variety of positive ways, from sharp-ening her public speaking skills to improving the way she balances school and extra-curricular activities.
“I would highly encourage students from all major and experience in public speaking skills to join Linfield Forensics Team,” Tang said. “You will get the kind of experience you have never had before. It will change your college life in a way you would never expect.”
Martinez said that at age 16, she never would have dreamed of being so engaged in public speaking.
“I didn’t know what to expect from college,” Mar-tinez said. “Neither of my parents went to college and I couldn’t picture what type of experience it would be for me.”
Martinez discovered the Linfield’s forensics team at
the activities fair during her first few weeks on campus. And even though she said she thought of herself as a shy student, she went to the first meeting and joined the team.
“I remember that the day before my first tournament, I was still hesitant to attend the tournament,” she said. “But [Miller] told me that the draft of my speech was ‘speechy,’ so I told myself I could do it. Now, after seeing how ter-rifying public speaking can be at first, I feel like I can do just about anything related to public speaking.”
Tang said she attributes much of her positive experi-ence to Miller and his wife, Kathleen Spring, for their dedication to the art of public speaking and to their invest-ment in the group.
“[Miller and Spring] have really been there for us, helped us to get great experi-ence, “ Tang said. “They have become our forensics mom & dad.”

Midterms are here and the stress level of students is rising from hours of additional studying added to their workload.
Classes begin to seem overwhelming because people do not know how to cope with exams and the stress that come with
them. Here are some ways to help with those issues.
Road to success during midterms
Do: Spread out studying sessions into small sections throughout the duration of the week.
Don’t: Put it off until the night before. Trying to grasp half of a semester of material in one night will not help lighten the load. It will only cause a student to stress even more.
Do: Eat healthy foods. Make sure your body is getting all of the right vitamins so you remain healthy and your brain is active during the exams. Good snack options include fruits, yogurt and nuts.
Don’t: Spend countless nights eating junk food because your brain won’t have all the nutrients it needs.
Do: Make sure to take time out to have a little fun from studying. Students need some fun in their lives when stress starts to pile up.
Don’t: Neglect your work so you can have fun. Your studies should be your first priority.
Do: Use the library as a place to study. It is a quiet location for people to gather and avoid distractions.
Don’t: Watch TV while studying in your room. It will be too much of a distraction. Log out of your Facebook account, or get a friend to change your password so you can’t log on until you’re finished studying.

Do: Spend some time in the gym. Yoga is the way to go to relieve stress in a calming matter. Right before studying, just sit down and do some stretches, mentally and physically preparing yourself for work.
Don’t: Stress too much about exams. Take on each exam one at a time, and study subjects in order of importance.
Do: Make sure to take time out to have a little fun from studying. Students need some fun in their lives when stress starts to pile up.
Don’t: Neglect your work so you can have fun. Your studies should be your first priority.
Do: Have a study group. It will allow you to be engaged by others and help you acknowledge the fact that you are not alone when it comes to studying.
Don’t: Allow people to be a distraction from actually getting things done.

On a trip sponsored by the Linfield Activities Board, Linfield students went to Portland on Oct. 8 to experience Portland Fashion Week.
Students who signed up in the CIC were provided with transportation to see the last night of the fashion week’s featured runway shows.
“It was a really cool event,” sophomore Kyra Rickards said. “The venue was really industrial and modern.”
According to the Port-land Fashion Week web-site, the event is the biggest fashion week in the Pacific Northwest and one of the biggest in the U.S. The week is known for its emphasis on sustainability and for bring-ing together designers from all over the world.
“I have been to the fash-ion week in different places in the world such as Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singa-pore,” junior Tina Chau Le said in an email. “Portland fashion week is very unique and interesting in terms
of organizing and fashion inspiration. I really enjoyed it because I am interested in designing and events.”
Five fashion designers, Jay Sario, Helen Sharp, Car-di Wrap, Michael Costello and Bryce Black: An Avant Garde Introduction, showed off their collections on that night of Portland Fashion Week.
“The collection I liked
the best was the black and white collection because of its unique ideas,” Le said in an email. “The sophistica-tion of the designer’s ideas was illustrated by the sim-plicity of black and white color scheme.”
Rickards said that her favorite piece was from Bryce Black.
“It was very couture, high-end. It had all this
black leather and feath-ers. It wasn’t something you’d actually wear, but it was more like an art,” she said. “It had all this interest-ing texture, and you could just see the craftsmanship. That’s really what couture is. It’s like fashion art.”
About 11 Linfield stu-dents attended the event, filling up all of the available spaces on the trip. Accord-
ing to Rickards, the group from Linfield got to sit in the third row. In all, around 200 people were in the audience.
“It was located near the waterfront, which brought a really cool and unique atmosphere,” Le said in an email.
Le said that she was also impressed with the way that LAB’s off-campus cultural events are handled.
“I want to add one more sentence about Nicole Szan-to,” Le said in an email. “I am impressed with her inter-national background and her perception about cul-ture. She is not doing obvi-ous culture events, but she thinks outside of the box about fashion and other things.”

It’s another edition of Watch This, Not That. I’ll compare “Win Win” and “Everything Must Go.”
Usually when I do Watch This, Not That, I’ll compare movies that have some-thing in common, like actor, genre or new release. This week, I decided to review two new indie films.
Indies aren’t usually overly exciting, but movie fans of character relation-ships and drama tend to enjoy these films more than others.
“Win Win” stars Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan (Holly from The Office). It’s the story of Mike (Giamatti) and his struggles to keep his law firm open, while still coaching the high school wrestling team and supporting his family.
Things take a turn for the better when the grand-son of one of his clients
shows up. Mike decides to take him in and allows him to wrestle on his team.
It turns out that the kid is an amazing wrestler and, in the end, helps bring out the best in Mike.
I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I was pret-ty happy with “Win Win.” I thought Giamatti did a great job and the story was strong.
“Everything Must Go” stars Will Ferrell and Rebec-ca Hall.
It’s the story of Nick (Ferrell) and an unfortunate turn of events. On the same day that he’s fired from his long-time job, his wife changes the locks and puts all of Nick’s belongings out on the front lawn.
Nick hires a kid to help him set up a yard sale in exchange for minimum wage and teaching the kid how to play baseball.
Nick has a strong drink-ing problem and must over-come that and several other
personality defects to move on.
I liked Rebecca Hall in “The Town” and was excit-ed to see her in this.
I also like that Ferrell can still have a serious role in a movie.
Overall, I was really excited to see “Everything Must Go” and was slightly let down.
“Win Win” was a solid movie from start to finish,
and it kept me interested throughout.
“Everything Must Go” has an interesting story and had a few laughs with it as well.
At the end of the day, I would recommend that you watch “Win Win” (8.0/10) and not “Everything Must Go” (7.4/10).

Piano and guitar duo pleases audience
A piano and acoustic guitar duo from Oklahoma serenaded the audience at the Oct. 6 Pro Cat Cab.
Shane Henry and Mag-gie McClure are both solo artists, but also perform as a duo.
The two of them came together musically after McClure opened a show for Henry when she was only 16 years old. They con-tinued opening shows for each other, with McClure occasionally doing Henry’s backup vocals and vise versa.
Three years ago, they
made the decision to come together as a duo.
“They were really good. Shane’s voice reminded me of a mix of John Mayer and Adam Lavigne, and her voice was just absolutely beautiful,” freshman Lin-nea Caso said.
The audience seemed to love Henry and McClure. They listened very atten-tively, clapped, danced in their seats and even sang along when Henry per-formed a cover of “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Michael Jackson.
“Linfield was such a fun crowd; they were all so sweet and attentive,” Hen-ry said. “Sometimes you
get crowds that just don’t care and talk through your whole performance, it was nice to have a crowd that cared.”
Both artists played origi-nal and personal songs from their albums, including a song off Henry’s album called “Portland,” about his sister leaving Oklahoma and moving 2,000 miles away to Portland.
“I loved them so much,” freshman Lexi Heredia said. “They’re both super talented. One of their songs really hit home with me and made me cry.”

Albuquerque band’s latest album does not disappoint
Of God and Science has recently released an album that will surely keep the anticipation high.
If you are looking to add some variety to your music library, “Black Rabbit” will not leave you short of this goal.
The band is made up of Julian Martinez, Jeremy Fine (bass) and Matt Domin-guez (songwriter), all who have collaborated to create a unique sound that is compa-rable to Radiohead and Pink Floyd. However, their sound is certainly their own in a new way.
After making their pres-
ence known through a circuit of local coffee shops in the South in 2001, their name became more common and
recognized. As they continued per-
forming, they developed their sound and have
released their most recent album, “Black Rabbit,” in Albuquerque N.M. Since its release last year, it has been making an impression on campus radio stations around the nation.
Every song on this album brings something new and refreshing to the table. Tracks such as “Wasteland” are made up of dramatic tones and rich instrumentals.
It embraces chill beats that could almost leave you in a trance, while the simple lyrics allow the rich melody to sink in.
Other songs have a much lighter feeling with uplift-ing vocals and sounds that flow through in a pleasantly peaceful manner.
The diversity within the tracks themselves will cer-tainly keep you on your toes as well.
A unique track, “Bugs are Good,” enhances a strong harmonizing of the group member’s voices.
Their vocal tones, in addi-tion to the prevalent antici-pation that it makes you feel, embrace you. Extensive instrumental components compliment lyrical parts seamlessly.
The simplicity that is con-veyed is a pleasurable sur-prise for this album.
With the alternating pace and energy that is demon-strated you could find your-self playing this song on repeat.
Overall, this album embraces variety throughout while maintaining a consis-tent sound, which says a lot about Of God and Science.
Smooth, trendy beats find themselves confiding in rich classic sounds, bringing a new experience to a com-mon, comfortable genre.
Their original tones accent a mesmerizing array of lyri-cal and harmonious delights that this album has to offer.
For some refreshing new melodies be sure to check out “Black Rabbit” on KSLC 90.3 fm. You can also listen online on our recently updated web page at www.linfield.edu/kslcfm.

The Linfield volleyball team had a split weekend, los-ing its first match but coming back to the top with a win on the second match.
The Wildcats lost to Pacific Lutheran University on Oct. 7 in Tacoma, Wash. They beat George Fox University on their home court Oct. 8 in Newberg, Ore.
The win improved the Wildcats to 8-9 overall and 3-5 in the conference standings.
Pacific Lutheran, with a nine-win streak under its belt, beat the Wildcats on Friday 25-17, 25-19 and 25-14.
The Lutes and Wildcats played a back and forth game to fight for the lead. The game started with a 4-4 tie but the Lutes pulled ahead again to a 12-6 lead.
Linfield came back with six points in a row, but the Lutes came back for the win.
In the second game, the Wildcats started strong with a five point lead. Freshman Vic-toria Thompson and senior Tara Hill spurred the quick start with kills.
The women struggled for the lead, but PLU pulled ahead in the end after tying the score again.
The third set remained close, but the Lutes delivered 12 out of the last 14 points of the game, taking the Wildcats out early.
Senior libero Samantha Lau performed well with 16 digs, freshman Audrey Fra-zier contributed 17 assists
and freshman Kailana Ritte-Camara had eight kills.
In five sets, the Wildcats beat the Bruins 19-25, 18-25, 25-21, 25-19 and 15-8 on their homecoming weekend.
Benefitting from the moves of Ritte-Camara, Thompson and sophomore Kelsey Ludin, the frontline had 17 kills, 10 kills and three assists, and 10 kills and six assists, respec-tively.
Defensively, the Wild-cats impressed as Lau dug 23 balls, freshman Courtney Wanamaker had 13 digs, and Frazier dealt out a whopping 43 assists, as well as four block assists.
“This weekend’s match-es showed how well we can work hard and push through,” Ritte-Camara said in an email. “Although we weren’t successful Friday night, we tried even harder Saturday to be the team we know we can be. By work-ing together, having energy and having fun, we pulled through Saturday night and won in five sets. I think it real-ly shows how much character we have. We will not give up until the game is over.”
The Wildcats are back at home Oct. 12 and 15 facing off against Willamette University and Puget Sound University.

This past week, the men’s soccer team played against Willamette Univer-sity and lost 0-3. With this being the Wildcats eighth loss after playing 10 games (one win and one tie were made as well), the team still isn’t ready to give up hope yet.
“Everyone has to get on the same page in order for us to be successful,” head coach Ian Lefebvre said.
The Wildcats, although the team as individuals are talented players, aren’t playing as a unit which is beginning to effect their performance on the field.
Along with having diffi-culties playing together as a team, a contributing fac-tor to the excess amount of losses appears to be the fact that the Wildcats are still a young team.
“[We’re] definitely good
enough, and definitely tal-ented enough,” Lefebvre said.
The only thing the Wild-cats need to work on now has become “finishing their chances” and making the goals that they intend to make on the field.
At the moment, the big-gest problem with the team is building confidence.
“We must have confi-dence in ourselves and one another in order to unite and start playing up to our potential,” senior Wil Hiles said in an email.
“Obviously something has to change,” Lefebvre said. “[We need to] focus on things that we need to focus on.” With this in mind, the Wildcats plan on fixing the issues this week
that they keep continu-ously running into such as communication and work-ing together as a team as opposed to playing as indi-viduals.
In addition to working on playing together as a unit, a plus for the Wildcats is that injuries are begin-ning to heal which allows more players to return to the field.
With all of these factors in mind, the Wildcats aren’t giving up and are continu-ing to push forward in an attempt to win the last few games of the season.
“We remain optimistic about the remainder of the season,” Hiles said. “We have too much pride in ourselves, each other and the program to throw in the towel.”
backs, the latter setting up a 45-yard dash to the end zone by junior tailback Stephen Nasca to put Linfield ahead 31-0.
“I pride myself on mak-ing the best of every oppor-tunity I’m given,” Nasca said. “When my name’s called I always want to be prepared.”
Senior cornerback Chris-tian Hanna sparked a scor-ing frenzy in the final six minutes of the first half by picking off a pass by Log-gers quarterback James Korn and returning it 33 yards for a touchdown.
Senior rover Taylor Skore picked off another Korn throw on UPS’ next series, and Inns fired a 37-yard touchdown pass to Poppen on the next play.
Senior defensive tackle Tommy Patrick fell on a fumble by UPS receiver Ross Zuhl to set up Inns’ final touchdown throw, a 25-yard bomb to junior Lucas Jep-son.
Robitaille added to the Loggers’ struggles by block-ing a punt that was run in 3 yards for a touchdown by sophomore safety Colin Foreman.
At the half, the ’Cats already lead 59-0.
“With a veteran second-ary, it’s a lot easier to keep the pass coverages up,” For-
rest said. “Turnovers are always something we want to improve on in-game.”
The starters left the field in the second half and gave way to the younger Wild-cats, but the scoring contin-ued nevertheless.
Sophomore quarterback Josh Yoder had a 10-yard touchdown pass to fresh-man receiver Colin Nel-son and freshman tailback Trevor Gomez scooted in for a score on a four-yard run, making it a 73-0 margin.
The Loggers finally found the end zone with third-string quarterback Braden Foley tossing a 7-yard score at the end of the third quarter.
Neither team scored in the fourth to leave the score at 73-7.
“You just love seeing the young guys get a chance to go play,” Smith said. “They get to enjoy the fruits of their labor after working so hard for us.”
Next week, the ’Cats travel to Forest Grove to compete against the Pacific University Boxers, a team still seeking its first victory of the season.
“We need to strive for perfect technique,” senior center Hayden Mace said. “Coach Smith preaches that it’s not who we’re playing, we’re playing ourselves.”

The Linfield Wildcats played two intense games Oct. 8 and 9, beating both the Pacific Lutheran Uni-versity Lutes and the Pacific University Boxers.
This week, the women had “lots of energy,” junior Christine Tamamoto said.
The Oct. 8 game against the Lutes had a rough start for the Wildcats, as Lutes player Sarah Gamache scored the first goal of the game. The first half ended with a score of 0-1.
The women stepped up their game during the second half.
Junior Anna Sours scored Linfield’s first goal, her second goal of the sea-son. This first goal was the beginning of Linfield dominance on the soccer field.
Freshman Zoe Langs-dorf scored the Wildcats’ second goal, assisted by Sours.
Linfield proceeded to score another goal less than 10 minutes later, this time scored by senior MacKen-zie Doty, assisted by Tama-moto.
Both teams attempted to score another goal, but no more shots made it into the net. The game ended with a 3-1 victory for Linfield.
While the girls clearly won the game, “we could’ve played harder,” Doty said.
The match against the Pacific University Boxers on Oct. 9 proved to be a closer game than the match on Saturday.
No goals were scored in the first half, though sev-eral attempts were made by each team.
Linfield goalie Apolonia Martinez and Pacific goalie Brittany Hartmann each saved five goals during the
first half.No goals were scored in
the second half of the game until less than 10 min-utes left, when Tamamoto scored the first and only goal of the game.
“It felt really good to score,” Tamamoto said.
The women’s soccer team has played eight conference games now and as the season reaches the halfway mark, training “gets harder,” sophomore Megan Kearns said.
Practices are two hours long on Tuesday through Friday. With all of these practices and games, bod-ies can get worn down, resulting in injuries.
Doty said that inju-ries challenge the team’s strength and change field dynamics.
“We have a boatload of injuries,” Doty said. “Six or seven starters are out with injuries, but it gives other players the opportunity to step up.”
In addition to the two weekend games against Willamette University on Oct. 15 and George Fox University on Oct. 16, the Wildcats also have a game against Lewis & Clark on Oct. 12.
“This is a really impor-tant week,” Doty said. “It’s vital for our well-being in the conference.”
The games on Wednesday and Saturday are both away and Sunday’s game against George Fox University is a home game.
Hey ’Cats. For those of you who have never had a chance to speak with him, head football coach Joseph Smith is a man of very few words.
Players have described him as a blue-collar, strong, silent leader and an inspira-tion to them every time he teaches them on the field.
In two full seasons of covering the football program for The Linfield Review, I’ve gotten a chance to speak to coach Smith frequently about football and learned a few of his standard lines when it comes to talking to the press.
He never talks about injuries, always pushes players to reach their potential and encourages them to focus on the game at hand.
It’s always a safe bet that in the course of any
given interview, these three things will come up at least once.
But last Saturday, I was surprised to find one of those cardinal rules was broken during my post-game talk with Smith.
When I asked him about a few new trick plays the team had tried to incorporate, a reverse on a punt return and an on-side kick, rather than giving the team line about playing to potential, he said something completely different.
After only four games in the season, Coach Smith said that the team is begin-
ning to try to elevate their level of play to match that of national powers Mount Union and University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
These two teams have met in the Division-III title game for the past several seasons and consistently produce Arena League and sometimes NFL prospects, so their talent and quality of play is self-evident.
But the fact that Smith is thinking to those teams this early in the season and breaking the “focus on the next game” rule means that he knows how special this team is, and he’s hungry.
I’m hungry, too, to see the
potential of this team when it clashes with national pow-ers.
Coach Smith knows the game of football intimately, and if he has that magic feeling with the this team, then I damn well do too.
Elevating their game will be difficult and require constant attention, but I have no doubt this program is capable of it.
In case you missed it, this team just set a post-World War II record for points in a single game, PATs kicked in a single game and scored touchdowns on offense, defense and two
different special teams scenarios.
Wow. I shudder to think what next week’s game at second-year program Pacific is going to look like. Does their scoreboard go up to three digits?
In any case, this is one season that you folks are not going to want to miss.
Magic is in the air, and Coach Smith, like the silent Jedi he is, can sense it. Can you?

The men and women’s golf teams hosted their three way tournament Oct. 8 at Michelbook Country Club. The teams went up against Willamette University and Pacific University. Both teams finished first.
The men’s golf team finished on top with a total of 305, which was only 17 strokes above par.
Senior Alex Fitch finished first
in the competition with only 69 strokes, three below par.
Two other top competitors for Linfield were freshman Ryan Nolan and sophomore A.J. Taylor, who tied for third with Willamette freshman Johnathan Ross. All together, the Linfield men had seven players in the top 10.
The women’s team had simi-lar results, placing them in first with a total of 339, which was 51 strokes above par.
The women’s team had six of its competitors place
in the top 10. Sophomore Danielle Lungren placed highest of the Linfield women coming in third with a total of 83.
Sophomore Alexandria Smith placed fourth with 84 strokes, while sophomore Hannah Chris-tianson and junior Brinn Hovde tied for fifth only two strokes behind her.
“It’s at our home course so we were all comfortable with the holes, which made things easier on us,” Hovde said. “This really allowed us to focus on making
good shots and help us score low as a team.”
The women’s team will be playing at the George Fox Invitational on Oct. 14 and 15 in Newberg, Ore.
The men’s team will have the weekend off, but will play again Oct. 22 and 23 at Heron Lakes Golf Course in Portland, Ore., for the NWC Classic.
Playing for a packed Homecom-ing-day crowd at Maxwell Field on Oct. 8, the No. 05-ranked Linfield Wildcats put on a clinic in a 73-7 rout with the University of Puget Sound Loggers.
The ’Cats dominated every aspect of the game, amassing 490 yards of offense while limiting the Loggers’ high-octane passing game to only 201 yards, four interceptions and two fumbles. The Wildcats did not surrender a turnover.
“I was really pleased with how our guys prepared all week,” head coach Joseph Smith said. “They had great focus. This was certainly as good a performance as a team as we’ve had in a long time.”
The scoring started early and continued at a staggering pace for the entire contest. Junior tailback Josh Hill darted 12 yards for the first Linfield touchdown to cap a drive that only took 1:01 off the clock.
On UPS’ next drive, sophomore linebacker Dominique Forrest sacked Logger quarterback George Ka’ai and caused a fumble, which was scooped up by sophomore line-backer Tyler Robitaille. A handful of plays later, junior tailback Aaron Williams scampered in for a four-yard touchdown to make the score 14-0.
“Our coaches did a good job of telling us where the holes would be,” sophomore receiver Charlie Poppen said. “They called the right plays at the right times.”
After another sack of Ka’ai gave Linfield another opportunity to score, junior kicker Josh Kay ham-mered a 49-yard field goal to boost the lead to 17-0.
Kay also set the all-time Linfield record for extra points in a single game by finishing with a perfect 10 for 10.
Junior quarterback Mickey Inns added a one-yard touchdown toss to sophomore tight end Jacob Pries-ter at the start of the second quarter, his first of three on the day.
Robitaille and Forrest each had interceptions of Logger quarter-
