Oregon will be offering the first two years of community college free to recent high school graduates in the fall of 2016.

It is one of the best things that could be done for first-year stu-dents but may not be the best thing for many colleges, including Linfield.

This could unintentionally dis-criminate against students in their first two years at other universities by funding only the first two years for community-college students.

One question that may arise in the coming school year is whether or not Linfield is going to be offer-ing more financial aid to combat the competition this new grant presents.

Dan Preston, the Vice President for Enrollment Management, said, “The college has not determined budget levels or tuition prices for the 16-17 year. At this point we don’t expect any major changes to the scholarships or grants awarded by the college. We always make -

With new ownership and a cut-ting edge vision, the former Jake’s Deli may soon bring an entirely new meaning to campus greenery.

Steve and Mary Allen, previ-ous owners of Jake’s Deli, served their customers and the commu-nity for many years.

As of Nov. 4, however, the building was sold to a group that plans to sell recreational mari-juana.

McMinnville’s City Council held a meeting to revisit the ques-tion of whether the city should ban recreational marijuana dis-pensaries.

When the question was brought up earlier, it met little

to no opposition. The same held true for the Oct. 27 council meet-ing.

The News-Register said, “Linfield College President Tom Hellie urged the council to ban sales within 1,000 feet of the col-lege” as “rumors of a marijuana dispensary moving into the for-mer Jake’s Deli site at the edge of campus concerned him.”

But when the council voted, only one member opposed allow-ing recreational marijuana sales in McMinnville.

The rest voted to allow recre-ational sales in the city.

Councilor Alan Ruden said recreational sales should “flour-ish unrestricted,” according to the News-Register’s report on the meeting.

However, Mardi Mileham, Lin-field’s Director of Communica-tions, said Hellie did not ask for a ban on recreational sales. “What Dr. Hellie was suggesting was to afford Linfield the same kind of buffer [as public K-12 accord-ing to Oregon Liquor Control Commission law] because of the minors that come on campus,” Mileham said.

She explained that the minors coming to the Linfield cam-pus include McMinnville High School students and others taking classes, or taking tours with the Admissions Office. Even elemen-tary age and younger children come to musical performances.

The new owner of Jake’s, Wayne Stocks, is working with co-managers Payton Curry, Jenni-

fer Zarezadeh, and Becca Hawes to open Green Heart Oregon.

Green Heart Oregon plans to offer a dispensary and other facilities in the building, some of which will not be focused on the psychoactive effect of the plant.

The new owners bring differ-ent sets of expertise to the table in the form of a chocolatier, tinc-ture specialist, cooks, and juic-ers. Some of these skills may be unusual in relation to a marijuana dispensary. The specialties are what excite Curry about opening in Jake’s former location.

Curry described the front and center aspect of the business that will be a “Cannabis Juice Bar.”

With locally grown berries and fruits from Farmer John’s in McMinnville, Curry plans to

blend fresh cannabis to form “a product that will not get you high because it is just raw nutrients. Juicing cannabis raw with lemon or coconut juice [as an example] offers probiotics and nutrients good for the stomach Ph levels,” he said.

Zarezadeh, a co-owner who will also be selling her homemade candles, described the juicing benefits of Cannabis as “homeo-stasis” and talked about the non-psychoactive effects of the Cannabidiol, or CBD, that have been shown to reduce epileptic seizures in children, treat schizo-phrenia, and help Crohn’s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

The International Agen-cy of Research on Cancer released new information recently saying that red and processed meats can lead to cancer.

The World Health Orga-nization announced that it has found that eating a lot of processed meat such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs, and ham can cause cancer.

Eating too much beef, pork, lamb, and other meat from mammals can also probably cause cancer as well.

The IARC classified the consumption of pro-cessed meat as “carcino-genic to humans” and consumption of red meat

as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The IARC has not evaluated the cancer risk, only the hazard.

The case was re-opened to review pre-existing research to determine the potential causes and evalu-ate the risk of cancer.

It may seem strange to think of red and processed meat as causing cancer because Americans eat so much of it.

Because of this it is hard to imagine such a well known food could cause such a serious illness.

As a person who has never been a fan of red meats, cutting that out may be easier than pro-cessed meats.

Lunch meats, bacon and sausages will all have to

be cut out since those are the ones that have actually been proven to cause can-cer.

Having a clean bill of health sounds better than bacon.

Although mainly classi-fied as a cause for colorec-tal cancer, red meat was also seen to cause pancre-atic cancer and prostate cancer.

Processed meat was said to be carcinogenic to humans based on evidence that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer.

The proteins that are formed during cooking red meats is the part that is carcinogenic.

The IARC recommends to use medium to low heat

when cooking red meat. High heat can over-

cook or char the outside of the meat. If the meat gets charred do not eat the charred bits.

Cooking meats at lower temperatures can reduce this risk of these problems, but there is still the hazard from the processed meats.

Meat provides the majority of protein intake but it can be substituted by heathier meats, nuts, seeds, dairy and vegetables.

This isn’t the end of the world, although it may seem like that to some people.

Overall, red meat consumption should be reduced because before this statement was released, eating it had been

linked to heart disease, and higher cholesterol levels. Also, processed meats con-tain unnecessary additives that have been proven to harm our bodies.

Before this people used think that the correlation between smoking and lung cancer was hard to believe, but attitudes changed over time. Maybe the public’s attitudes will similarly change towards heavy meat-eating.

The most important fac-tors to focus on is maintain-ing a healthy body weight, taking care of yourself and staying physically active.

Linfield spends a lot of time and money on the PLACE theme and events each year.

There are committees set to pick the common read book, time spent planning events and booking speakers and an abundance of pro-motion.

But how much are students appreciating the work that goes into this?

This year’s PLACE theme, “Air, water, earth and fire: the ancient elements on a changing planet” was a complex theme to under-stand at times.

The events surrounding this were largely science based, which interested some but not all.

This is why it was important to connect the theme to something that every student can appreci-ate—sustainability.

Linfield works hard to be sus-tainable and create an understand-ing of what it means to be sustain-able.

The connection between the

theme and something that every student can care about is important when determining who should come speak, especially for the larg-er events that many colloquiums require their students to go to.

There were workshops that pro-vided students with the opportu-nity to explore sustainability as it relates to the theme, which allowed for more student engagement.

Requiring students to go to these events is beneficial because it provides students the opportunity to learn something that they might not seek out on their own, but it doesn’t do any good if students do not pay attention and are not respectful to the speaker.

Talking during a presentation and leaving before they are fin-ished is disrespectful to the speak-er and not appropriate.

Students need to be better audi-ence members.

It is understandable that not everyone will be able to connect with every subject and science may

not interest everyone, but the pur-pose of PLACE is to engage stu-dents in different subjects within the liberal arts.

These events offer students the opportunity to learn about some-thing they may not have sought out themselves for a short period of time rather than taking a class on it.

While this exploration is impor-tant, it is most beneficial when students can connect the theme to something that they are passionate about.

PLACE needs to find a way to make these connections clearer so students will be more interested.

For PLACE to work it does not just take a committee finding a speaker that every student will engage with because that is nearly impossible.

It takes students finding a way to connect with different fields of study and PLACE providing that avenue for the connection to work.

The anonymous social media app “Yik Yak” has been a game changer for students, providing quick and easy access to information circulating around campus.

Frequently described as an “anonymous Twit-ter”, Yik Yak is free and accessible to all students.

Posts range from opin-ions on the entrées at Dil-lin to reports of on-cam-pus events.

Freshman Sarah Bell says that it “makes you feel more connected to other students, espe-cially when everyone is

stressed about exams.” The app creates a

safe place for people to express concerns and ask questions that they may otherwise feel uncom-fortable addressing.

It is not uncommon to see posts asking for advice on what classes to take or places to go on campus to make friends.

The app shows stu-dents that they are not alone in their thoughts or opinions, and can be a support system in times of stress or despair.

The trending posts on the app are often a good indicator of hot topics on campus.

For example: follow-

ing the UCC shooting there was a plethora of support posts circulat-ing the app, showing the school’s unity and com-passion.

The app promotes a sense of community among various types of students, and is an easy way to make informa-tion or opinions known throughout the student body.

The non-exclusive style of Yik Yak has been a contributing factor to its popularity and success on the Linfield campus.

The armor of anonym-ity is worn by everyone on Yik Yak and people are shooting hate as if they are invincible.

The evolution of social media has seen its upris-ings but the day has final-ly come where the con-sequences of words are almost entirely erased.

Yik Yak is a social media app that comin-gles the sullen spirits of desperately single people alongside party info and assorted jokes.

It is a silly place where everyone is told the value of their thoughts by way

of the “upvote.” The lawless landscape

of Yik Yak could be a place where students receive information and jolly tidbits but, much like any other form of online media, hate sur-faces quickely.

It is unfortunate that negativity explodes in such a manner but the reality is that Yik Yak is consistently polluted with misogyny, bigotry and overall distaste.

Even sadder, despite the policing capabilities of the “downvote,” nega-tive posts remain a preva-lent blight on the app.

Psychological studies have found where diffu-

sion of responsibilities and deindividuation are permitted, human behav-ior reaches extremes.

There are those who spit out off-color and offensive phrases because they think it is funny but as the anonymity of the poster is preserved the group subjugated to their bigotry also remains unseen.

Face to face these things would never be said but distance makes the heart grow fonder and the insults grow harsher.

There is a lot of debate as to whether or not the art department is getting as much attention as the sports department.

From experience and observation, the sports, sciences and arts are get-ting the same amount of publicity, but why do more people attend foot-ball games than gallery exhibits?

The Theater and Art department’s Admin-istrative Coordinator, Vicky Ragsdale, says, “It’s up to each depart-ment to publicize their events.”

The arts are covered the same ways that sports are covered, how-ever, the turnouts at a gallery exhibits are not as well attended as a sports events.

The National Endow-ment for the Arts found

in a study that if a person had not attended a live performance or had gone to a gallery before they graduate college, then nine out of ten of those people never went to one as an adult.

Ragsdale incorporated a Linfield perspective to the study: “One of our responsibilities is to build audiences for the future … and fulfill that life-long learning experience for students.”

According to the FAQ section on the Linfield Review, at least 30% of the student body are par-ticipating in a team sport. That’s about one third of Linfield that finds an interest in sports.

The locations of the art and music departments may be discouraging to those who don’t have a strong desire to check them out.

However, Freshman Lili Stott suggested that if

people had a visual pre-view of what a gallery exhibit or performance contains, it could be an eye-catcher for people that are not involved in the arts.

However, the music and theater departments get large auditorium-sized audiences that include both Linfield stu-dents and McMinnville residence.

The music department publicizes the same way as the fine arts and sports department.

Senior Doug Sundman argues that there is a dif-ference of engagement between the two events.

“Art asks the viewer to confront something whereas sports games just asks viewers to invest time during the viewing. There’s no effort, it’s a spectatorship versus an active observation.”

Senior Julian Adoff says that Merit Berning,

the curator in residence, “is talking to people to put art throughout the campus. She even put in a proposal to put some-thing up in Walker Hall to get student art in there.”

Adoff also says that by putting student art throughout the campus, they are starting to build a collection of student art, which will eventually become alumni art.

Sports enthusiast Matt Totaro says about sports, “there’s movement, it’s fast paced and it’s unpre-dictable.” Totaro added, “Sport is its own art form.”

Perhaps it’s not that the arts aren’t getting enough publicity, sports just seem to be the more popular event interest at Linfield.

Change your waste habits for Zero Waste November

By Sarah StarkOffice of Sustainability

Happy No Waste Novem-ber! The Zero Waste cam-paign at Linfield began in 2013 and is constantly striv-ing to reach that goal.

We need your help! Initially, Zero Waste might

seem daunting or even a bit confusing to many students.

It’s actually easier that you think.

Look at your trash, see what kinds of things you are throwing away on a regular basis, and brainstorm some alternatives.

There are many ways to change your behavior in order to produce less waste.

According to EcoWatch, the average American throws away 185 pounds of plastic a year.

More often than not, you will find plastic packaging, take-out containers for food, cups and lids from Starbucks, etc. in your trash can.

Opt out of purchasing things that are wrapped in plastic packaging at the store and bring your own cloth bags or jars instead.

Last spring during Earth Week, Zero Waste “guru” Bea Johnson came and spoke about her lifestyle.

In one year her fam-ily generates only one jar of waste! Check out her blog: zerowastehome.com

Her mantra includes an additional “R” that is: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle.

If you can make the deci-sion to refuse waste in the first place, you don’t have to worry about where it is going to end up.

She says it has caused her to live a more meaning-ful life, based on experiences

instead of stuff.Every single time we

purchase something, we are sending a signal to producers that we value what they are offering.

If we can choose to pur-chase products that use less or zero packaging, made of recycled materials, organic, fair-trade, etc., even when it is a bit more expensive, we are sending signals to the producers and our economy that we value those charac-teristics.

One purchase may seem insignificant, but if we start making these changes now as individuals, we can inspire a collective action that will have a significant impact.

That’s what Zero Waste is about: shifting our culture away from excess and over-consumption, to a healthy, meaningful and sustainable future.

Tips for Zero Waste: bring your own bags/mugs, buy fresh, unprocessed foods, buy clothes second-hand, make your own bath prod-ucts, and bring tupperware with you to restaurants –you may get some strange looks, but remember you are set-ting an example for others!

Try to avoid purchasing anything that will end up in the landfill. It will force you to be creative and resource-ful.

If this seems too difficult, try recording what you are throwing away and see if there are patterns you can alter to reduce your waste.

Remember, start with changing one habit.

Marijuana: Great Heart Oregon plans for December opening

-ting its crop from a farm belonging to owner Wayne Stocks who operates only 7 miles from Jake’s location.

“We’re not opening this place up right away just to sell pot,” Curry said, “We still want to accommodate the community.

“We could open a big giant smoke shop, bong place and all that jazz but it’s not what McMinnville deserves and it’s not what

we came here to do,” he said.

“We want to truly educate the community on nutritional cannabis. We’re going to have evening seminars where we sit down and talk about what we’re doing at our farm,” Curry said.

“Before we even make a dollar,” he said, “we’ll be open for a month teaching, because we’re not coming and blowing out the walls and making this a garbage

box store.“We’re not allowing

weirdness, because the community doesn’t allow weirdness.”

As Curry explained, the front entrance will open on to the juice bar and a con-sultant who will answer questions.

A large cooler just behind the front counter will hold chocolate for sale and contain medicated and unmedicated goods.

In the northernmost

part of the building, Curry and Zarezadeh described their vision of having a health official or expert in marijuana-therapy, offering consultations, suggest-ing dosages and treating patients with topical Can-nabis.

In Curry’s vision, back toward the front door, past a soda machine and regis-ter, there will be a larger area that includes the medical and recreational dispensaries.

The sales part of the store will be separated from the front area by a door and curtains. The back parking lot will also have an entrance, moni-tored by security per-sonnel, to the marijuana dispensary counters.

The OLCC, which regu-lates marijuana in the state, allows license applications to begin Jan. 4.

According to a phone conversation with Curry, Green Heart Oregon plans

to open for a “community night” on Dec. 1.

This open house will have refreshments with owners and co-managers present to answer ques-tions and share their vision.

No sales will take place and no recreational mari-juana will be on site.

Moore’s legacy brings scholarship to studentsBy Katelyn

PrendergastFor the Review

Parker Moore is honored with the new Parker Moore scholarship, which is avail-able for Linfield College stu-dents.

Sophomore, junior and senior Linfield full time stu-dents who are in good aca-demic standing are eligible

to apply for the $2,500 schol-arship.

Applications are available for both the McMinnville and Portland campuses.

The scholarship will be applied to Linfield tuition and fees for the 2015-16 aca-demic year.

The Parker Archie Moore Endowed Scholarship Fund was created to provide sup-

port to deserving Linfield students.

It is aimed to support students who demonstrate qualities, characteristics, and interests similar to Moore.

The scholarship is in memory of Parker Archie Moore, a business manage-ment major, resident advi-sor, member of the Linfield football team and friend to

many. Moore died from a ran-

dom and unprovoked act of violence in November 2014.

He is remembered for many things, but his smile, faith and friendship inspired many.

Applicants will be evalu-ated on their leadership activities, involvement in co-curricular activities, abil-

ity to overcome hardship or adversity, and a statement of how they intend to “pay it forward” and make a differ-ence in the world.

The scholarship is open for applications and closes on Nov. 16.

Students may retrieve the scholarship at the Financial Aid Office, Office of Student Affairs, or by contacting Keri

Dixon, kdixon@linfield.edu or Lisa Burch, lburch@lin-field.edu.

Relationship between energy, environment examinedKellie BowenFor the Review

A farmland manage-ment expert weighed sev-eral pros and cons of the turbulent relations between energy and environmental savings.

Jason Bradford gave a speech at Ice Auditorium on Thursday evening titled, “The North American Food System in an Energy-Con-strained Future,” which focused on agriculture as a way we interacted with the environment.

A wide array of students attended his speech, from political scientists to biolo-gists to environmentalists to journalists.

The speech was also a PLACE event.

Bradford, a managing partner at Farmland LP, a “sustainable farmland investment fund” accord-ing to their website, said that industrialized farming is using more energy than it is creating.

He also pointed out that the use and production of fossil fuels and synthetic fertilizers are taking up

energy and potential agri-cultural land.

He used a slideshow to aid his presentation and accompany his speech.

Bradford pointed out that back when people did all the picking of crops – which, as he explained, was called peasant agri-culture – there was more human labor per acre as opposed to people us-ing machines to do all the work, especially on hundred-acre crops.

Bradford said, “What’s interesting with industrial agriculture and synthetic fertilizers in particular is that we then have the capacity to not set aside land and recover as much. We can take fossil fuels, convert mineral wealth that was extracted in one place, deposit it on the land, and have high heels going without allowing that land to regenerate more endemi-cally ... lower diversifica-tion on the land, very high heels but very low inputs.”

He continued to explain how work such as pro-cessing, fueling, running the tractors and getting synthetic fertilizers takes

up enormous amounts of energy.

It takes “more energy to produce and tend to the crop than the crop itself has to offer.” But the amount of farmers has decreased while the farm fuel use has gone up.

However, “there has not been enough demand for their compost … a lot of it is still getting landfilled.”

It also takes a lot of fuel for people to take their compost to the deposits then take that compost to the plot where it is needed.

Sophomore and sustain-ability enthusiast Gabi Esparza said, “I liked how he explained how we’ve burned more fossil fuels and create more human bio mass at the expense of wildlife.”

There is still work to be done, and lots more to research to create a perfect agricultural system.

College: 2016 high school seniors may choose community college over Linfield due to free tuition

- adjustments to award-ing plans but this new program won’t cause us to significantly overhaul anything about what we do with aid awarding.”

Concerning new ap-plicants for the school, Preston said, “The biggest problem we could face is that Oregon high school seniors who might enroll at Linfield will choose a community college instead. If we change anything it would be to connect earlier, and more frequently, with qualified students at Or-egon community colleges who may have interest in Linfield.”

It is important to make the first two years of col-lege as affordable as pos-sible because that is when

students are still trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives.

This would pay for two years of community and technical colleges for first-time U.S. students.

This program will only be available to students who have received an Ore-gon high school diploma or GED in the spring or sum-mer of 2016, have applied no more than 6 months after graduating, have been an Oregon resident for at least 12 months prior to community college enroll-ment, and have a cumula-tive high school GPA of 2.5 or better.

These requirements may only help a select amount of students that apply. This may hurt others such as adult learners and other

aspiring students not from the 2016 graduating class.

What many students may not know is that free isn’t really free in this case.

Tuition along with costs of living, transportation, books, housing and food can add up to even more than the funding covers. This may not be a factor considered by students applying for this new program.

The continuation of the free community college program will be dependent on the next legislative cycle vote.

Students gain professional broadcasting experience

Above: Junior Mass Communication major April Meads and Nelson pose for a photo after a game they covered together. Right: Nelson looks on as he provides comments and play-by-play updates to listen-ers during a basketball game.

Emily Eisert Staff Writer

Students have the oppor-tunity to develop skills and gain practical experience through Linfield sports broadcasting.

Senior Kevin Nelson has developed a passion for broadcasting in his time at Linfield.

Nelson began broadcast-ing his sophomore year after deciding to act on something he had always found interesting but did not know what opportuni-ties there were for him.

He was taking Broadcast Practices with Professor Michael Huntsberger when his interest in broadcasting grew.

After hosting his own radio show throughout the semester, Professor Hunts-berger told him about do-ing sports broadcasting in the spring for baseball.

“I hopped in the booth, and right then I knew this is what I want to do,” Nel-son said.

He started with observ-ing, which turned into call-ing a few inning, which then turned into a whole game.

His sophomore year was also the year the Wildcats won the regional champi-onship at home, a game that Nelson looks back on as one of his favorites to broadcast.

Linfield was hosting the regional playoffs, and Nel-son covered four games in 12 hours.

“That’s where it all took off,” he said.

This game solidified his love for sports broadcast-

ing. He has always had a passion for sports and had originally come to Linfield for baseball.

Nelson ended up not playing baseball but still loves the sport.

“I’m not the best writer and I’m not the best athlete, but I thought if I can com-municate the passion I have for sports that would be re-ally cool, “ Nelson said.

Nelson says that his goal is to paint a picture for his listeners.

His work with baseball expanded to volleyball, men’s and women’s basket-ball and softball. He trav-els with the team, which allows him to experience broadcasting in a variety of locations.

Nelson says one of his favorite places to broad-cast from is Whitworth for basketball because the fans are so passionate that the stands shake, and he can feed off their energy during his broadcast.

Nelson says that the best part of this job is know-ing that parents who are in Hawaii or Colorado that cannot come see their ath-lete play are able to feel like they are at the game through Nelson’s play-by-plays commentary.

He also says that one of his favorite parts is when parents come up to him and say how much they appre-ciate the hard work he puts into his broadcast.

Nelson’s partner for volleyball, April Meads, agrees. She recalls a time when a parent said how much they love to listen.

“One mom and dad even baked us these amazing

brownies just to say good job,” Meads said, “That was one of the best compliments you can get.”

Both Meads and Nelson see a future for themselves in broadcasting.

Nelson would like to do similar work he does at Linfield for larger schools.

He says that he is willing to take a job related to what he wants to do such as so-cial media to get his foot in the door.

Meads plans to continue broadcasting at Linfield un-til she graduates and then would eventually like to go into basketball broadcast-ing.

“Broadcasting has been a dream of mine for a very long time,” Meads said.

Linfield has provided both Nelson and Meads with the necessary experi-ence to help them reach their goals.

“We make it as profes-sional as possible,” Nelson said about Linfield sports broadcasting.

Nelson urges students who are interested in broadcasting to give it a try because you never know if you will love it.

He says that there are still things he can work on, but he does his best to make every game better than the last.

“You’re never going to be perfect, but if you can elimi-nate your errors as much as possible than that is where you feel really good about yourself and that makes it all worth it,” Nelson said.

Controversial jokes about abortion were first met with some apprehension and then laughter on Saturday night.

Comedian Steve Hofstet-ter who rose to fame with his YouTube channel and is a writer for College Humor as well as a host on “Laughs” on Fox Networks, began his set with jokes about how small McMinnville is.

He said he had four hours to kill before the show so he toured McMinnville and didn’t know what to do with the next three hours and 57 minutes.

Hofstetter did not shy away from more controver-sial topics like abortion dur-ing his show.

Taking a female empow-erment stance, Hofstetter used a variety of public fig-ures and politics to make his point.

He discussed the con-troversy over funding for Planned Parenthood as evi-dence that many politicians do not support women.

He explained that nine-ty seven percent of what Planned Parenthood does is women’s health and three percent is abortions.

He drove home his point by saying that if ninety sev-en percent of funding went toward penis pills for men there would be no question about funding.

The moment that was met with the biggest laughs was a story about a man who had been to one of his shows and waited outside for him only to say, “I’m pro life” while smoking.

Hofstetter replied by saying no you’re not then explained that he was not because he was smoking. The man said he could smoke if he wanted to and Hofstetter said “you’re right, your body your choice.”

Another highlight of the show was the special guest appearance by the dog Hof-stetter is fostering, Walter.

He said that people often like to say that dogs are prac-tice for children to which he explained all of the differenc-es between dogs and children

and said these people must not be very good parents if they practice with dogs.

Hofstetter catered part of his show to Linfield by asking questions about the school, which led to a more interactive show.

Learning that Linfield is a Division III school known for its outstanding football team caused Hofstetter to tell sev-eral jokes about how unim-pressive that is.

He concluded his show with a question and answer section in which he said he would answer all questions honestly.

Audience members asked questions about how he met his wife, his opinion on poli-tics and his most embarrass-ing moment.

An audience member asked for Hofstetter to bring Walter the dog on stage and he concluded the show by talking about fostering his 11-year-old dog.

Morrison explores untold story of black love and life in ‘Beloved’

By Adam MyrenSigma Tau Delta

What is it like to be a black person in the United States? A black woman? A black woman in the mid-19th century? There have been countless authors who attempt to portray this strug-gle and scholars who try to explain it anthropologically, but if you ask Toni Morrison, there is a side being ignored. In her 1987 novel, “Beloved,” she lifts the veil revealing the untold side of “sixty million and more” African-Ameri-cans’ struggle.

The novel was immediate-ly recognized as a profound piece of American Literature. The year it was published, it was a finalist for the National Book Award, and the follow-ing year won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In a New York Times survey, literary critics and writers honored it as the best piece of American fiction from 1981 to 2006.

“Beloved’s” critical suc-cess comes from the new light it shed on the already existing slave narrative. Questions of what is a black woman to society, what is a woman to her children, was life worth living as an Afri-can American in this time period, and ultimately, is a black life worth taking, are explored by Morrison.

The protagonist, Sethe, is the mother of multiple children, however only one

child remains living with her. Sethe’s mother, Baby Suggs, is the matriarch of the family who spends almost a lifetime in slavery until her son buys her freedom for the final eight years of her life.

The present plotline begins with Sethe and her daughter living in freedom, which ought to be a peaceful existence. However, it was ruined by the haunting spirit of Sethe’s first daughter, who she killed.

The novel flashes back between multiple time peri-ods to convey the treacher-ous past that slavery has imposed on these women.

The concept of slavery is best conveyed by Morrison as a fate so evil that a mother would rather saw her daugh-ter’s neck to death, than allow her to live the life of a slave.

This is the choice that haunts Sethe and Denver in the form of the baby that was killed - Beloved. This baby is reincarnated in the most recent plotline and searches out the Suggs family, Sethe in particular. The character of “Beloved” can be seen as a personified portrayal of the psychological torture that a black mother goes through to avoid the terrors of slave-life.

Working on the basis of being a slave narrative with the historical evidence of Margaret Gardner (a slave who was in a similar position and chose to kill her baby in

1856), Morrison tackles the question of how black love differs from the love that exists in unoppressed society.

The love experienced by people who live their lives in the margins is, as Sethe describes, “thick.”

This thick love is problem-atic, because rarely would a contemporary citizen of America accept the brutal murder of one’s child as an act of love.

But thick love implies the ability to endure. By endur-ing, Sethe teaches the reader how attacked black lives and love are.

The brave choice to descend into the grimy, blood-splattered, moral pits of slave-life was Mor-rison’s unveiling to the liter-ary world a side of the black struggle that most were too afraid to acknowledge.

Morrison was rightfully awarded for her ability to give the world a portrayal of evil and oppression in an artistically genius way that included the historical, phys-ical, familial, gender, and psychological pains of being a black woman in mid-19th century America.

To read “Beloved” is to have a new understanding of love, a new understanding of courage and ultimately a new understanding of pain.

The Wildcat men’s soccer season ended with a heart-breaking double-overtime loss to Willamette University on Saturday, losing 3-2.

Linfield (9-11, 5-11) was looking to finish with a .500 overall record, after securing the best record under head coach Chuck Bechtol last week against Whitman Col-lege.

The Willamette Bearcats (6-11-1, 5-8-1) were out for revenge and got it, as they lost the previous matchup be-tween the two teams in a 2-0 match in October.

The Bearcats started out

strong, scoring the first goal of the match in the 28th minute of the first half. The goal came from Christopher Barnes off the assist by Tyler Yates.

Barnes’s goal was the only score of the first half.

Linfield was able to an-swer back early in the second half, with Ivan Colin, ’16, scor-ing less than five minutes into the half to tie the score.

It was Colin’s second goal of the season and the final score of his Linfield career.

The Wildcats were able to create a lead in the 68th minute when Brian Degrand-mont, ’17, scored off the assist from Moi Diaz, ’18, to go up 2-1.

He and Diaz both finished the season with seven goals, which led the team and is fifth

highest in the conference.Diaz’s assist was his fifth

on the season, which tied him with Alexander Gosselin-Bockel, ’16, as the team leader and at fifth in the conference.

Willamette did not let the lead last long, with Jesse Thompson scoring less than 10 minutes later, also assisted by Yates.

At the end of regulation time, the teams were tied at 2-2 and headed to their first overtime.

No goals were scored in the first overtime period, al-though both teams had shots that were close to being on goal.

In the sudden death sec-ond overtime, Linfield did not have a chance to take a single shot, despite taking 25 total

shots to Willamette’s 16. The match ended when

the Bearcat’s Alan Hernandez found the back of the net from 18 feet out in the 105th min-ute, winning the match for his team 3-2.

Willamette finished the season tied for fourth place with Pacific University, one spot ahead of the fifth place Wildcats.

It was the final career match for five Linfield se-niors. Brandon Brooks, ’16, Piikea Kailio, ’16, Tyler Repic, ’16, and Colin all started in their final match in Wildcat uniforms.

Seniors’ battle Willamette in final game Caylee Larkin/For the Review

Ivan Colin ‘16 moves past a Willamette University player during the Wildcats’s final game on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Linfield.

Bruil was a three-year team captain, three-time South Puget Sound League all-star and the SPSL MVP following his junior year.

He brings to Linfield an all-around skills set, partic-ularly excelling in shooting, defense and play-making ability.

Rosenberg plans to run a very fast-paced, aggressive play style this season.

“We want to play fast on both sides of the floor, the most tenacity and the most aggressive mindset in the conference,” Rosenberg said.

“It’s not really run-and-gun,” he said. “It’s really more … ‘sprint and be in-telligent, sprint and be mindful.’”

This new play style will involve press and full-court defense and a wide open, team oriented defense.

With how fast-paced the ’Cats plan to go, they will likely have a rotation with ten or more players getting regular minutes and consis-tent scoring numbers.

“We’re looking at a team right now that I think could have five players in dou-ble-digit scoring and even

eight or nine guys in the six to fourteen point range,” Rosenberg said.

As far as fixing their mistakes from last year, Rosenberg believes the big-gest issue is being able to finish games.

“We need to take games where we have a lead three quarters of the way through the game and be able to close it. I think this team is going to be put in a number of opportunities to win games it’s just going to come down to whether or not we can close them out,” Rosenberg said.

Facing this season, it would be nice to see the Wildcats return to the glory days of the 1960’s and 70’s, when they were coached by Linfield legend Ted Wilson, after the run of more chal-lenging year’s the team has had faced lately.

But the return of Lin-field being a powerhouse team may not be this year, but will certainly be in the next few years. However, one thing is for sure: Rosen-berg’s young, fast-paced team will be one of the most fun to watch in the North-west Conference. Joe Stuart can be reached at linfieldreviewsports@gmail.com

Basketball: Men’s team gears up for start of season <<Continued from page 12

By Aspen BrooksFor the Review

Linfield fell to sixth in the Northwest Conference after two consecutive defeats at the hands of Pacific Lutheran University and George Fox University.

200 fans turned out for Linfield’s senior night on Friday, honoring Caiti Barrie, Quin Takashima, and Court-ney Uyeda as they played in their final home match.

Seniors from both teams were recognized before the match began, and a special ceremony for the three senior Wildcats took place after the match ended.

The Lutes beat the Wild-cats in three sets, winning 25-16, 25-15 and 25-20.

Barrie led the offense with seven kills, followed by Mol-ly McTaggart, ’17, and Jamie Talbo, ’18, with five each.

Talbo also contributed 14 assists and seven digs, and Uyeda had 12 digs and the largest contribution to the team total of 39 for the night.

Both teams went into the first set with high energy and battled back and forth through eight lead changes until the Lutes pulled away to win 25-16.

The Wildcats’ offense struggled in the second set with a hitting efficiency of -.074, allowing the Lutes to win 25-15.

Although Linfield picked it up in the third set with a match-high of 12 kills and a hitting efficiency of .093, it

was not enough to prevent the Lutes from triumphing 25-20 to win the match.

In the post-match senior recognition ceremony, the three senior Wildcats received signed volleyballs, framed jerseys and piles of leis while words from their teammates and their own reflections on their time at Linfield were shared.

Takashima, who was de-scribed as “fun, outgoing and playful,” earned a career total of 576 digs and 50 service aces.

Barrie’s teammates de-scribed her as “intense, crazy, but most of all, caring.” She credited her teammates and coaches for making Linfield feel like home after trying out two other colleges.

Uyeda earned 1,288 digs and 291 assists throughout her Linfield career. She holds third place in the Northwest Conference this season for digs per set and total digs at 4.8 and 451, respectively.

On Saturday night, Lin-field lost their final match of the season to George Fox in three close sets, losing 25-27, 19-25 and 24-26.

Eryka Keoho, ’19, led the offense with 11 kills, fol-lowed by 10 each from Barrie and McTaggart. Despite the loss, the Wildcats’ offense outperformed the Bruins’ with a total of 45 kills to their total of 39.

Uyeda and Takashima contributed 16 and 14 digs respectively to the team to-tal of 70, which was higher

Football: Wildcats flood the end zone in downpour

Linfield. This was a game of

finality. In terms of the regular season it will be the last time the ‘Cats storm Maxwell Stadium.

In terms of collegiate football careers, some will soon be coming to a close but others are just being born.

What remains steadfast about Linfield’s football program is its ability to produce quality men and quality players.

“I feel pretty sur-real right now. I mean my career has flown by but it’s nostalgic because all my boys are here,” Knecht said.

“I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a person here at Linfield. The coaches here and faculty and everyone around me have molded me into the person I am today. I think I’ve grown as a football player but more as a person and I feel pretty good about that.”

The Lady Linfield Wildcats hosted the Pacific Lutheran Lutes, who gave them yet another challenge.

On a rainy and chilly Sat-urday afternoon, both teams were slipping and sliding all over the muddy field, to say the least.

The Wildcats and Lutes were extremely even on possession of the duration of the game.

The Lutes edged the Wildcats on shots and cor-ner kicks by just a few.

After a scoreless first and second half, the Wild-cats proceeded to go into overtime, which they have encountered multiple times this season.

The first and second overtime were scoreless, resulting in a tie 0-0 on the day.

Emma Vukic, ’16, had some beautiful dribbling toward the goal and had several shot on goal at-tempts.

Sami Moellmer, ’19, had some beautiful passes and connected with Ally Bush-man, ’19, as well but were unable to get a goal.

Goalkeeper Elisa Randel,

’19, registered seven saves for the Wildcats.

Marisa Specht, ’16, said, “I’m very proud of how we played today, we were able to hold our own for the entire 110 minutes.”

“Today was the day when we realized it is im-portant to be at our A game the entire 90 minutes even though the elements were against us,” she said.

Specht, a senior, said, “Soccer has been everything to me at Linfield. My best friends have come from it, I was kept healthy and I don’t know where I’d be without the support system of my soccer sisters and coaches.”

On Sunday, the lady ’Cats took on the George Fox University Bruins at McMinnville High School’s Wortman Stadium due to a muddy and unplayable field at Linfield.

It was cloudy during the first half and as the second half began, scattered show-ers occured throughout the rest of the game.

Vukic scored twice on the final day for her in a Wildcat jersey.

Linfield took the lead in the 25th minute by Vukic scoring on a connecting pass by Ally Bushman, ’19, who got the assist.

Bushman passed from the wing to Vukic who kicked from 18 yards out. Vukic scored from the same spot several minutes later assisted by Moellmer.

Randel had eight saves on the win and Linfield had 20 shots to George Fox’s 15.

Linfield is graduating eight seniors this season: Specht, Vukic, Brianna Nor-ris, Makenzie Peterson, Re-gan Cox, Rachael Gernhart, Miranda Hire and Emilie Kongsore.

Five of the eight seniors have started at least once this season.

Notably, Emma Vukic is second in goals scored with eleven, and Rachael Gern-hart is sixth in goals scored with six among Northwest Conference teams.

Specht, Vukic and Cox have started every game this season, and Gernhart has played every game this season. All eight graduating seniors started the game as part of senior day.

Linfield finishes the sea-son 7-5-4 with 25 points and placed fourth in Northwest Conference standings.

and Sara LeveringFor the Review

The Linfield men’s and women’s swimming teams faced the Whitman College Missionaries on Nov. 7 after both teams lost to Whitman last year.

The women captured the win, winning by 45 points, after losing to the Missionar-ies by over 100 points last season.

Second year head coach Kyle Kimball said, “I honestly couldn’t be happier with how the women performed.”

He also mentioned that captain Elizabeth Fry, ’16, did a great job in her distance races in both the 1,000 yard Freestyle, placing first and the 500 yard Freestyle, finishing second.

Evette Dow, ’19, captured her first win as Wildcat, win-ning the 500 yard freestyle in 5:21.92.

The women came out strong in the mid-distance events. In the 200 individual medley, Kaedi Fry, ’19, came in first and Tahni Kakazu, ’19, took second.

In the last event of the day, the relay team consisting of Rita Cohen, ’17, Elizabeth Fry, ’16, Kaedi Fry, ’19, and Nikki Overton, ’16, won the final race with a winning time of 3:45.73.

“I’m very excited and proud of the women’s team for stepping up and shocking the Washington schools with our win,” Elizabeth Fry said.

The men have improved immensely from last year, but

unfortunately fell to Whit-man by a mere 7 points, after losing to them by over 100 points last season.

The men had a strong start Friday night, winning the 400 Yard Medley Relay. The relay was swum by Alex La Rosa, ’19, Victor Brasil, ’17, Neirton Olivieria, ’19, and Trevor Gourley, ’19.

Most notably, La Rosa captured first place in the 200 yard butterfly, finishing with a time of 1:54.63, which was fast enough to break the men’s team record in the event. James Adams, who set the previous record in the event in 1997 with a time of 1:55.25, was also at the meet and was inducted into the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Brasil helped the men’s team by capturing first place in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 2:12.45.

In the 400 freestyle relay, Oliveira, Hayden Cooksy, ’17, Matthew Hanson, ’18, and Ian White, ’16, managed to beat the Missionaries with a first place time of 3:15.75.

“The men raced their hearts out,” said Kimball. He also mentioned that the men were out-touched on a couple races.

“Even though the guys came up short, we put up a really good fight and swam hard. As a team we were great and it was really en-couraging to start the season,” captain David Brody said.

The Wildcats had a show-down against Whitworth University on Saturday on both the women’s and men’s teams.

The women’s team won 113-92, whereas last year they lost 128.5-77.5. The men lost this year 123-82, compared to the 155-46 lost last year.

For the women Kakazu, Kaedi Fry, Overton and Rita Cohen, ’17, took first in the 200 yard medley relay in 1:53.40.

Dow won the 1,650 free-style in 18:14.16 and Elizabeth Fry placed first in the 200 yard freestyle with a time of 2:02.85.

Kaedi Fry won the 400

yard individual medley in 4:42.26, while Cohen took first place in the 100 yard butterfly, clock in at 1:02.69 seconds.

Dow also won the 100 and 500 yard freestyle events on Saturday.

In the last event of the day, Katherine Andersen, ’18, Kakazu, Erin Nelson, ’18, and Overton took first in the 200 yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:43.60.

“The women did amazing this weekend,” Cohen said.

“We all recognized our jobs and some people stepped outside of their comfort zone to help the team, which is amazing to see.”

In the men’s races Griffin Yerian, ’19, Brasil, Oliveira, and Ian White, ’16, took sec-ond in the 200 yard medley relay with a time of 1:38.33.

In the 200 yard freestyle, La Rosa took first, while teammate Oliveira took sec-ond in the 50 yard freestyle.

Oliveira won the 100 yard freestyle in 48.62 seconds,

while Brasil helped the men out again, winning the 100 yard breaststroke in a blister-ing 57.84 seconds.

To cap the meet off, Mathew Hanson, ’18, Trevor Gourley, ’19, White and Cooksy took first place with a time of 1:29.00 in the 200 yard freestyle relay.

Northwest Conference Rankings

The Puget Sound Loggers were trying to use a butter knife to cut down a mighty oak in Saturday’s game against Linfield.

Rain fell from the sky in sheets for Linfield’s final home game of the regular season. Regardless of the downpour, the Wildcats put on a tour de force of their program that illustrated its strength from the freshmen to the senior class. In honor of all of his hard work throughout his Linfield career Tom Knecht, ’16, started at quarterback for the Wildcats and wasted no time in putting together a scoring drive.

An eight-yard pass from Knecht to fellow senior Brian Balsiger put the ’Cats on the UPS 35 and Spencer Payne, ’17, took care of the rest with a 32-yard rush into the end zone.

Linfield’s defense cut the Log-ger’s first possession short at seven seconds after safety Mikey Arkans, ’17, intercepted a pass from UPS quarterback Hans Fortune at the UPS 23-yard line.

Despite their stellar field posi-tion, the ’Cats were held to a 33-yard field goal from Michael Metter, ’17.

On their next possession the ’Cats only needed 18 seconds and Payne’s legs to reach the end zone. From the Linfield 26-yard line Payne rushed downfield outmaneuvering and outrunning every defender in his path. The 74-yard rush con-cluded with Payne leaping over two UPS defenders and trotting across the goal line.

In total, Payne finished the day with 210 net rushing yards with three touchdowns, something Lin-field fans have grown accustomed to seeing.

Alongside Payne with three rushing touchdowns was wide receiver Johnny Carroll, ’18. Car-roll’s hands were on fire despite the heavy rainfall. In the second quarter alone Carroll had three touchdowns, two of which were fantastic leaping or one-handed grabs in the corner of the end zone.

“Every day receivers are out here working on one-handed catches and two-handed catches. You never know when someone is going to grab your arm or you have to make a play,” Carroll said.

’Cats saw through Loggers for final home stand

Justin Grodem/For the ReviewSpencer Payne, ’17, fights through the Loggers’ defense. He ended the game with 210 rushing yards and three touchdowns to defeat the Loggers.

“The biggest difference [between] this week and last week was we came out every day, and we practiced with buckets of water and dunked our balls in them and we put butter on our balls. We did everything we could to make the balls as hard to catch as possible.”

Carroll’s final touchdown recep-tion came with 0:21 left on the clock and sent UPS into the half scoreless

against Linfield’s 52 point lead.The Loggers started off with the

ball in the second half but once more their possession was chopped down by an interception. Defensive tackle Sam Gomez, ’19, read the play so well that the pass seemed to fly into his hands as if it were intended to.

“I was hearing Eli Biondine behind me calling ‘watch the screen!’ so I read it and he pretty

much threw it right into my hands. I wish I could’ve scored but it hap-pens,” Gomez said.

From a freshman in Gomez to a senior in Knecht, there were ample examples of Linfield’s talent.

The highlight of Knecht’s final regular season game at the Catdome came at the end of the third quarter as he ran the ball 14 yards for a touchdown.

The ’Cats concluded their scoring onslaught after running back Gabe Caskey, ’19, punched into the end zone with a four-yard run to bring the score to 72-0.

UPS managed to squeeze in a 32-yard field goal with 5:10 remain-ing in the game. When all was said and done the score totaled 72-3,

Wildcats face the season with optimism, energyBy Joe StuartFor the Review

The Linfield men’s basketball program has definitely taken its fair share of hard knocks in recent his-tory.

The Wildcats are coming off a 4-21 season in 2014-2015 and have only recorded two winning records in the last ten seasons. But from the

point of view of third year head coach Shanan Rosenberg, there will soon be a change in this pattern.

“I think we feel like we can be a playoff team. We’d like to finish in the top four in the conference,” Rosenberg said.

“This is the first year where we don’t feel like we’re building from scratch. We’ve definitely got some pieces in place that are going to give

us a chance to climb up the league.”Players like forward Jordan Clark,

’18, guard Chase Walker, ’18, and center Mason Rodby,’17, are players who played key minutes last season and will be some of the important pieces on this young Wildcats squad that features nine incoming players.

Rosenberg added three trans-fer guards to shore up a backcourt that struggled to hold its own in the

Northwest Conference last year.Possibly the biggest incoming

name to watch for this season is transfer point guard Austin Daniels, ’17, who has excellent quickness, speed and ball-handling ability for the Division III level.

There are also many strong fresh-men this year as well.

“We have six freshmen who I think could all play for us. Obviously

some are more ready-made than oth-ers, but we’ve got six that are pretty darn good,” Rosenberg said.

From the new freshmen recruits, one of the most highly-anticipated players is Riley Bruil, ’19, from Sumner High School in Lake Tapps, Washington.
