McMinnville locals dress up and trick-or-treat around Linfield’s campus Oct. 31 in celebration of Halloween. Students, such as freshman Kayla Claybaugh signed up to pass out candy while children traveled from dorm to dorm.

Linfield has started a new ini-tiative named the Program for the Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement (PLACE) that has both students and faculty excited for all the new possibilities open to the college.

“PLACE is an initiative that tries to bring the Linfield curriculum to life and engage both students and faculty development with the liber-al arts,” said Patrick Cottrell, assis-tant professor of political science.

The program is a collabora-tive effort of Linfield faculty with an overall purpose of enhancing student engagement and faculty development through the explora-tion of thematic connections among modes of thinking and inquiry.

Each year there will be a differ-ent theme for PLACE. This year’s is “Legacies of War.” Both students and faculty are allowed to suggest different theme ideas, and the cur-riculum committee will decide which to use for the year.

“[You can] think of this year’s theme being a thematic power strip that anybody who’s interested can plug into,” Cottrell said.

Both faculty and students are able to examine each year’s theme through different disciplines. The different themes will also each highlight, but not exclusively focus on, Linfield curriculum designa-tions.

This year’s theme is highlight-ing Linfield’s creative studies (CS) and individuals, systems and soci-eties (IS) curriculum designations.

Cottrell is teaching a seminar this semester, War, Politics and Society, that is being taught along-side an English course, War and Literature taught by David Sum-ner, associate professor of English, which best demonstrates using PLACE, alongside classes taught at Linfield.

The nursing program at Linfield College’s Portland cam-pus is both historic and success-ful. For the past six months, Rosa Gibson, class of ’12, has been working on locating and preserv-ing artifacts from the nursing pro-gram’s early days.

With the college’s support, she

has been able to organize and dis-play the collection.

“Most of the items were first on the Portland campus, being shuffled around various closets, said Rachael Woody, Linfield archives director.

“The first half of the collection made it to the archives 10 years ago, before the archives program at the McMinnville campus had been established. The Portland

campus continued to come upon old artifacts.”

The first collection opened recently and is located in Peter-son Hall at the Linfield Portland campus.

In January 2013, a second exhibit of the collection will be unveiled at the Willamette Heri-tage Commission in Salem, Ore., and will be on display for nine months.

Only 30 collections are chosen annually to be on display at the Willamette Heritage Commission.

Some of the most notable objects in the collection are dai-ly bulletins from the American Hospital Association, yearbooks, pamphlets about the hospital, alumni materials, binders, letters

Social media is a part of everyday life. Millions log on each day to post statuses, photos and other content for those they are associated with to see. Once this content is post-ed, others can easily find it.

When reviewing appli-cants, one of the first things bosses and supervi-sors look at are your social media sites. They will look at each photo and status you post and judge you based on that.

No matter how well your interview went or how good your resume is, this one aspect can cost you your chance at the job.

Your social media is a

representation of yourself. It is posted on the Inter-net, and millions have the opportunity to view it.

There are privacy set-tings that can help censor parts of your profile, but these only do so much.

Employers search through social sites look-ing for reasons not to hire

you. One photo from a bad night that someone is tagged in can cost a person their entire career.

According to “How social media can hurt your career” on CNN.com, one of the reasons that employ-ees are fired is for com-plaining about previous, current and future jobs.

Most people do not realize that these types of comments pose a threat toward their careers.

It is important to avoid bad-mouthing jobs and making announcements about other aspects of your job.

Jobs are not the only thing that can be affected by social media sites. Your

representation to the pub-lic can also be impacted. Each post says something about you.

It is important to pres-ent yourself in the best manner. Otherwise, your post can possibly become the next item of gossip for everyone to talk about.

Some have decided to not even have a Facebook account or use other social sites because of future job searches and the drama it brings.

However, what other people post can also have an effect. They can tag you in photos or posts and then people can search these.

This can do the same damage as the individual

posting content of them-selves. Remind your friends to be careful about what they post with you in it.

Simple things, such as broadcasting unstable aspects of your life or your crazy antics of the night before can leave a lasting impression on the people who see it.

Even though most people don’t care what people think about them, they probably should care about what their employ-ers think of them because this can make or break their chances at keeping or getting a job.

More and more students are refusing to call for medical help even in the most dangerous situations. Medical Clemency is Lin-field’s way of ensuring that students can get help after abusing a substance with-out the penalty of a strike from the school. Students can call for themselves or for a friend who is in a dan-gerous medical situation.

Medical Clemency is by no means a “get out of jail free card,” but instead is a way for students to get help safely with less chance of consequences than if they didn’t call in the first place.

Recently, however, minor in possession charg-es (MIPs) are being handed out instead. This is causing many students to lose faith in the Medical Clemency system.

“I am confused as to why we even have a Medi-cal Clemency policy when there is still a risk of stu-dents getting in trouble. Yes, I obviously know that

it is to keep kids safe, but why would people call when there is a risk of a MIP? A strike compared to an MIP is nothing,” junior Kendra Barton said.

Barton asked about this issue at the last Greek Safe-ty Patrol (GSP) training. While Linfield officials did somewhat respond to the question, students were left with little confidence.

Rebecca Wale, director of College Public Safety and Environmental Health and Safety, responded to concerns by saying, “Medi-cal Clemency was once used [to] help students who were in trouble. It attempted to create a trust-ing environment in which students felt safe to report a troubling issue. I am con-cerned that it is now being used by some to avoid tak-ing responsibility for their poor decision-making.

“Linfield is not immune from the laws that govern us all. I believe no one is above the law, and it is our civic responsibility to fol-

low the rules of civil soci-ety,” Wale said.

We do not think stu-dents are above the law. However, is Medical Clem-ency being falsely adver-tised as a free pass?

We think that while the police do have the law to uphold, students have the right to be fully informed of what really happens when they call Medical Clemency.

“If you become aware of a situation where someone could suffer serious harm or death from alcohol poi-soning, you are obligated to act to prevent a senseless death…While medics and the police are busy assist-ing you, people who need assistance due to circum-stances beyond their con-trol, may not get help they need or deserve,” Wale said. ”For example, this past weekend, all available ambulances in our commu-nity were busy responding to alcohol poisoning emer-gencies on the Linfield campus...These caused

some people needing emergency medical care to wait for more than 20 min-utes for help. The actions of Linfield students could have caused great harm to others.”

Perhaps medical clem-ency is not being explained well enough to both the students and the police. Either way, something needs to change before a drastic and dangerous event forces it to.

“I personally watched an experience where some-one called Medical Clem-ency, the girl was looked at and deemed OK to go home, and the person who called still got a MIP... A great example of how this program isn’t working. I think that as long as CPS and Res. Life are present in the case of Medical Clem-ency, the police need to stay out. They are threaten-ing the legitimacy of Medi-cal Clemency,” Barton said.

It seems to me that we’ve become a genera-tion of instant gratification. We want what we want, and we don’t want to wait. We can’t blame ourselves entirely. We live in a world that caters to this frame of mind.

The fast-paced environ-ments we live in are con-stantly throwing informa-tion our way, and we’re pressed to keep up and stay informed.

So, it’s not surprising that this has created an unrealistic, hyperactive way of perceiving things, especially how we perceive time in relation to goals and accomplishments.

This shouldn’t be iden-tified as purely negative. Some things we should be

able to get almost instantly, like a Big Mac or a spray tan.

However, when that frame of mind bleeds into other areas of our lives, such as our personal goals, it is extremely detrimental.

I’m a personal example of this mentality. One day, I realized that I wanted to quit smoking and start liv-ing a healthy lifestyle.

Healthy, in my head, meant that I needed to get a six-pack, as quickly and painlessly as possible.

So I bought some run-ning shoes, ate a protein bar, did five crunches and was furious that I didn’t see any results the next day—so I gave up.

Obviously that wasn’t realistic, but there are so many people who are stuck in the same unreasonable mindset.

We see successful peo-ple on TV and in maga-zines, and we see people post their achievements on Facebook.

But what we don’t see is the struggle and time it took them to get to that point; for whatever reason, we refuse to acknowledge

that. We need to reconstruct

our thinking and train our-selves to grow out of this instant gratification.

It’s neither healthy nor helpful. It took me two years to reach my goal of a healthy lifestyle—not the three weeks the fitness magazines advertised.

I quit trying many, many times, and every time I felt like a failure. Failure is human.

We need to accept our failures and accept that certain things take time, a lot of time and persistence. Big Macs and spray tans are instantaneous, but our goals and desires shouldn’t be.

Power-crazed Disney needs to return to its roots

LIFESTYLE

The Linfield student body obviously wasn’t exactly thrilled when the college’s new tagline was revealed in 2010.

In fact, our discontent was so widespread and vocal that the slogan was ultimately altered from “The Power of Small” to “The Power of a Small Col-lege.”

Despite our initial mis-givings, it seems that we’ve finally accepted, if not fully embraced the concept.

Being a small campus with a tight-knit commu-nity is something we are proud of, even if we find the branding that attempts

to communicate this to be somewhat lacking.

But on the other hand, the whole slogan feels more and more ironic recently.

When the new branding rolled out, many students questioned how much money was given to an out-side company to craft it and

wondered why the college didn’t first look within to the creativity of its students for ideas. And names like Nike, Barnes & Noble and Starbucks on campus don’t exactly scream “small.”

These are huge corpo-rations; the world’s larg-est athletic brand, and the nation’s largest book retail-er and coffeehouse, actu-ally.

Yet, the forthcoming change of our campus café has been heralded to us as not simply a Starbucks, but a “living room.”

So I take it that Wal-Mart is a mom-and-pop store, and perhaps the “din-

ing room” that Dillin will be transitioning into is a McDonald’s?

I’m not disparaging the business decision for Lin-field to collaborate with these companies, as I’m sure the prospects were lucrative.

I like these brands, and I’m sure other students do as well. I would even describe myself as a recov-ering Starbucks addict.

I don’t think Linfield is morally obligated to patronize only small, local companies in the name of consistency (even if that does sound pretty cool). I realize that might not be

viable for a number of rea-sons.

What I do question is the way this move is being spun. Considering the skepticism we had toward our college being paraded as little in the first place, trying to conform some-thing that obviously goes against the whole idea that “bigger isn’t better” with this image just doesn’t work. But frankly, it doesn’t have to.

Sometimes bigger is better, like when it comes to a venti white chocolate mocha, but not always, like when it comes to a huge class size.

We at Linfield know this. Maybe that’s why so many people were against being marketed so narrowly as “small” in the first place.

There’s certainly some cognitive dissonance involved here, as a college built on the philosophy of small but on the services of big corporations.

But it’s nothing we aren’t willing to wrestle with in the name of getting our beloved Frappuccinos on campus. So let’s just admit it: size matters, and sometimes small isn’t the most powerful.

Disney is taking over the world. There, I said it. With the recent buyout of Lucas-film for $4 million, the Walt Disney Company has add-ed yet another powerhouse to its line-up. While compa-nies are always expanding and working to gain more profit, the Walt Disney Company should stick to its roots.

According to a “USA Today” article from Oct. 31, previous owner George Lucas was not only paid $4 million, but also 40 million Disney shares.

With the control of the “Star Wars” franchise, the Walt Disney Company plans to release “Episode VII” in 2015, according to an article in “USA Today.”

But Disney’s not stop-ping there. It is also plan-ning to release a new “Star Wars” movie every two or three years following “Epi-sode VII.”

As I am not a “Star Wars” fan, and I’ve only seen a few of the movies, I don’t have the sentimen-tal attachment that I know many people do.

This being said, I do still feel that seven or more movies for the series is too many. And while Lucas put out six episodes of “Star Wars” (a fairly large num-ber itself), it has a dedi-cated following because of the original idea that Lucas envisioned.

With the series switch-ing hands, I feel that the movie will lose many fans.

Not saying I don’t like Disney, but the Walt Disney Company was founded on different ideas. Let’s just say I can’t picture Mickey Mouse using the force very well.

The trip to power that the Walt Disney Company

has taken has led to its take-over of several major chan-nels.

And while I was one of those children who loved Disney growing up, the Walt Disney Company has gone power-crazy.

Owning other major net-works like ESPN and ABC Family, the Walt Disney Company is the world’s largest media conglomer-ate.

One wonders what will stop Disney from buying out other networks.

The Walt Disney Com-pany was founded in 1923, and up to the ’90s, had somewhat kept to itself.

While I’m not saying Disney shouldn’t come out with new things, I think that Disney should stick to what it knows.

For almost 90 years, the Walt Disney Company has brought joy to many fami-lies all across the world. Rather than expanding its empire, Disney should work to create quality mov-ies and shows for families to enjoy.

So, Disney, step back from the other big-name channels and remember what you were founded on.

Find another way to bring smiles and laughter to families everywhere.

from the governor, scrap-books and articles about the medical field.

There are two framed

certificates awarded to Emi-ly Loveridge, who started the nursing program in 1890. One designates her as a registered nurse in the state of Oregon from 1911, and the other establishes

her as a licensed anesthetist in the state of Oregon from 1914.

Along with documents, the collection includes pho-tos of Loveridge, family, employees, students, phy-

sicians, nurses, alumni and patients.

The collection also holds nursing uniforms, a silver tea set, porcelain dolls and a variety of other objects.

When Gibson began the project, the collection was kept in 75 boxes.

“It’s amazing that the campus held onto every-thing,” Woody said.

Perhaps more interest-ing than the collection itself is the information that can be gained about the nurs-ing programs founder, Lov-eridge.

Originally trained in nursing on the East Coast, Loveridge was broken-hearted when her fiancé died of tuberculosis. She never married and always wore black. After her fian-cé’s death she decided to travel to Oregon on the Oregon Trail to help care for the sick.

When she first arrived to the hospital, she was shocked by the conditions of the facility. However, she was able to whip it into shape, and it became one of the best teaching hospitals in the Northwest.

At the time, there was no orphanage in Portland. Loveridge, who never had her own children, took it upon herself to adopt and care for all of the orphans.

The new Linfield nurs-ing exhibit not only offers a glimpse into the life of Loveridge, it offers a look into the founding and his-tory of the program that has helped so many.

Nursing: Preserved artifacts now on display for all

Higher education as we know it is about to come to an end. After all, there are no jobs for college gradu-ates, certainly not for liberal arts students. Moreover, even were such students employ-able, they come out of school so burdened with debt that they will never dig their way out. The educational equivalent of eight-track tapes, traditional colleges and universities will vanish almost entirely, replaced by slimmer, more technologi-cally advanced online and for-profit models.

As college presidents who hear such proclamations over and over again, we find our-selves suppressing the urge to yawn, and not because we lose sleep over them. Rather, we are reminded of Marcel Proust’s splendid observa-tion in “Remembrance of Things Past”: “The one thing

that does not change is that at any and every time it appears that there have been ‘great changes.’”

We take comfort in the fact that for more than a cen-tury predictions about the impending demise of classic higher education have met the same fate: They have been utterly wrong. Around 1900, David Starr Jordan, the founding president of Stanford, forecast the end of the liberal arts college. Others foresaw financial ruin for higher education during the Depression, when public colleges suf-fered 40 percent reduc-tions in funding and pri-vate institutions lost more than a quarter of their endow-ments and more than 70 per-cent of gifts from benefactors. Then came proclaimers of the end of educational excellence resulting from democratiza-tion associated with the GI Bill, followed by prophets of demographic devastation from the large baby boom

generation, and conversely, from the baby bust.

In short, there has been no scarcity of doomsayers. We thought that economists were bad at predicting. Next to educational pundits, they

have the vision of Nostrada-mus.

Present-day alarmists fare no better. Though college debt levels clearly are some-thing to monitor, the vast majority of students gradu-ate with relatively small debt burdens—about $25,000 on average—and about one-third leave college with no

debt at all. Meanwhile, the college premium—the ratio of college earnings to high school earnings—is at or near record levels and has been increasing decade after decade since the late ’70s.

While for-profit colleges enroll an increasing percent-age of all undergraduates, the demand for education at selective private and public universities and colleges con-tinues to grow, as evidenced by dramatic declines in the percentage of applicants they admit. And worry that online education will replace

the four-year undergraduate growth experience that takes place on a college campus seems as unfounded now as when first articulated 20 years ago.

Still, as the saying goes, even paranoids on occa-sion have people chasing them. The truth is that we don’t always sleep well at night. But what keeps us up is surprisingly similar to what we suspect kept up chancellors at Oxford University half a millen-nium ago: How can we best provide students with a balance of the practical skills they’ll need for the world that awaits them and the abstract wisdom

that will help them adapt when that world, and they themselves, change? How do we assist our students in their almost-universal desire to make a positive impact on society, while they are in col-lege and after they graduate and become leaders in their communities? What should be the role of our institutions

in addressing society’s most challenging issues?

And of course, our con-stant worry: Will we be awak-ened with word that a young person has done something reckless that harmed him or others, something we might have prevented? These are the issues that we wrestle with during our days and our nights.

One other thing worries us. There is a surefire way to make today’s dire predictions come to pass —if educational leaders feel compelled to lis-ten to scaremongers who are all too anxious to force us to adopt a new model that elim-inates outstanding professors and their passion for teach-ing, research budgets and the pursuit of new knowl-edge, the residential college experience and the core com-mitment to excellence that have made American higher education the leader in the world. If that were to hap-pen, we might end up with colleges and universities that aren’t worth saving.

Though college debt levels clearly are something to monitor, the vast majority of students graduate with relatively small debt burdens.

The two brothers from Grants Pass were big dream-ers with big follow-through. And it took their coffee busi-ness, Dutch Brothers, from a single push cart to a multi-million dollar West Coast net-work in just 20 years.

“There are now more than 200 locations on the West Coast,” said Rennika Doty, regional manager of the McMinnville shops. “And we continue to grow every day.”

There are two Dutch Broth-ers shops in McMinnville, one downtown on Baker Street and the other north on High-way 99W by Goodwill. And Doty confirmed a third is in the works.

“The rumors are true,” she said. “We hope to open a third location in McMinnville, which would be close to cam-pus.

“We are trying to work out the contract. It is not a done deal yet.”

If all goes well, the new shop will be located on a vacant lot on Highway 99W. The lot is close to the Albert-sons shopping center, which includes a Starbucks.

The expansion is welcome news to Dutch Brothers regu-lar junior Kendra Howard.

“Going to Dutch Brothers is fun because it’s not like a normal coffee shop,” How-ard said. “All the workers are so friendly, and the service is fast and really good. Hav-

ing a Dutch closer to campus would be great, so I could walk there before class.”

Doty, a Linfield alum her-self, said that she hopes that opening a shop near campus will spur the company to get more involved with the school. She said she is a big advocate for closer connec-tions between the company and the colleges it serves.

“We donate a lot of mon-ey to Linfield, and we are always running specials for the students,” Doty said. “But I always think there is more that can be done, and hope-fully moving closer will help that.”

Along with running stu-dent specials, Dutch Brothers hires a lot of students as baris-tas. Doty got her start work-ing as a barista while she was still in school, and said she feels lucky going to a job that she loves.

She said working in the shops taught her more than just how to make coffee. It also taught her to cherish the rela-tionships workers built with customers.

“It’s so easy to change someone’s whole day, or even week, by engaging in a short conversation and giving them some hope,” Doty said.

“Whether that is in a cup of coffee or a big smile. It doesn’t take much to go out of your way. I truly believe we change lives.”

For those of you whohavebeen luckyenoughtomake it five years withoutseeing one of these mov-ies, here is a quick run-down of the stories (with-out giving toomuch away,of course).

“ParanormalActivity4”moviecover

Known for the castles, royalty and history, Great Britain is one of the many locations that Linfield stu-dents can chose from to study aboard.

This fall semester, Lin-field has nine students studying at the University of Nottingham.

Junior Chelsea Ploof’s adjustment to Great Britain culture hasn’t been as diffi-cult as she predicted.

“I still get tripped up by the 24-hour clock and how they refer to time. Instead of saying 3:30 for example, the British would ask you to meet them at half 3. Or, they might even say half past or a quarter past and you have to determine what hour they are talking about,” Ploof said via email. “Also, currency is a challenge. I still get confused about the proper terms for each coin and the slang that is used to refer to pounds.”

When looking at the dif-ference in schools, fellow junior Alanna Stanton has noticed the teaching style differences between Lin-field and the University of Nottingham.

“The courses have a lot less mandatory reading [which] are much larger,” Stanton said via email. “They seem to take the approach of ‘here are about 30 additional books that have good info on the sub-ject we discussed in lecture, feel free to do more read-ing.’ You seem to in a sense

design your own course in a way. Focus on the parts you find really interesting.”

With more indepen-dence in their learning, Linfield students adjust to a new type of grading sys-tem.

“The British do not typi-cally have a GPA or let-ter grades,” Ploof said. “Instead, they receive marks based on percent-ages of the rest of the class. Their marks are also on a totally different scale than us. For example, 70 is superior here where as in the U.S., it would be seen as average work. In order to get a superior mark, you also have to go above and beyond the expected amount of work. Your over-all mark is usually depen-dent on only one exam or one paper. You have to con-duct a lot of independent study and determine what is important and what is not.”

While Great Britain is filled with historical cul-ture, those who come to Linfield from Great Britain see a lack of history behind the American culture.

Sophomore exchange student, Marit Berning grew up in Great Britain and in coming to Linfield has noticed some distinct differences in culture.

“The hardest thing about moving to America was getting used to the lack of historical culture,” Bern-ing said via email. “In Eng-land, even the sidewalks have been around for 200 years, not to mention all of

the buildings, statues are so steeped in history. Coming to America was an aesthetic shock due to the newness of everything.”

Another difference Bern-ing has encountered is the hospitality of Americans, more specifically those on the West coast.

“Americans are much more hospitable than Lon-doners (I can’t really speak for the whole of England),” Berning said. “Everyone seems eager to help here, and the general air is that if someone can go out of their way to make your day notably better, they will.”

While Great Britain and America are different, both Berning and Ploof, along with many other Linfield students, have positive experiences fueling their visits to each country.

“I have never felt so accepted and so at home while abroad before,” Ploof said. “Elements of the cul-ture that I was originally nervous about, only make the experience that much better. I love all the oppor-tunities and diversity that a big university has to offer, and I am really enjoying the social life. If I had to pick one word I would say opportunity. There are so many ways to get involved here. If you ever get bored of Nottingham or even England, all you need to do is just hop on a train or a plane and travel. The world is your oyster in the UK.”

Up-and-coming hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar released his second studio album and first major label debut, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City on Oct. 22 on TDE Records.

The album tells stories of Kendrick’s life and tales of living and growing up in the streets of Compton, Calif. The album is a follow up to his critically acclaimed first studio album Section. 80.

In the song “Compton” Kendrick says, “Now we can all celebrate, we can all har-vest the rap artists of NWA, America target our rap mar-ket, it’s controversy and hate, harsh realities we in made our music translate.”

Lyrics like this paint a perfect picture of the type of artist Kendrick is. He is someone who grew up see-ing the harsh realities of life in the streets and has the ability not to just highlight them but to analyze the repercussions of the lifestyle, both positive and negative.

His ability to craft the tales of the everyday man trying to make it day by

day can appeal and trans-late to anyone. Kendrick moves beyond the limits of the gangsta rap genre and speaks to the humanity in almost all music fans and especially hip-hop fans.

The album features pro-duction from big name pro-ducers like Just Blaze (who has worked with the likes of Jay-Z and J. Cole) and the Neptunes (who have worked with artists like Jus-tin Timberlake, as well as Jay-Z). The album also fea-tures appearances by artists, such as Jay Rock, Dr. Dre and Drake.

The album starts off on a slower note with two songs “Sherane” and “Don’t Kill My Vibe.”

“Sherane” is a story of a summer fling involving Ken-drick and a character named Sherane. They meet at a party and flirt but Kendrick has reservations about get-ting involved because of her gang-affiliated family. Kend-rick decides to continue the fling but as the song draws to a close he is confronted by Sherane and two hooded men waiting to surprise him.

The song gives a fairly

innocent look at summer love but also keeps the themes of street life and the dangers that constantly con-front Kendrick throughout the narrative of the album. The song has a laid back vibe but soon the album quickly picks up speed.

The album hits an incred-ible pace on the freestyle rap “Backseat Freestyle.” Ken-drick’s raps come fast and with a growl in his voice that demonstrates the grit and power he puts into his album. Past fans will recog-nize flows like this from his song on Section. 80 “Rigam-ortus.”

Many Kendrick fans may be disappointed by the lack of features from his Black Hippy compatriots Ab-Soul

or Schoolboy Q but the album is still strong. And “Money Trees,” featuring Jay Rock, will more than hold fans of the hip-hop super group over until they release a formal studio album.

The album is a great success and Kendrick fans will not be disappointed with the direction the artist has moved in since his first release on Section. 80. Music fans in general will also find a lot of positives in the album as long as they like hip-hop. It can keep the attention of the general rap fan or dig deep into the minds of the serious hip-hop aficionados.

Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City could be the strongest hip-hop release of 2012 by a young artist, who could be one of the first to save the genre and bring its consciousness back, while maintaining the reality and straight forward attitude that makes the rap so special.

This album is a must lis-ten and Kendrick is an artist that any serious music fan needs to explore further.

J.K. Rowling, acclaimed author of the “Harry Potter” series, is back with a new novel, “The Casual Vacancy.” But for this novel, you’ll have to put your wands away.

Rowling took the new novel as an opportunity to do everything she couldn’t do in “Harry Potter,” a children’s series. “The Casual Vacan-cy” is an adult novel full of F-Bombs, drug use and sexy British scandal.

“I just needed to write this book. I like it a lot, I’m proud of it and that counts for me,” Rowling said in an interview for “The Guardian.”

“The Casual Vacancy” is set in a rural town in modern day England called Pagford. The town is rocked by the sudden death of Barry Fair-brother, who leaves an open seat on Pagford’s town coun-cil. The town is politically torn between those who want to separate the Fields, a pov-erty-ridden side of town that is home to drug addicts and

bad seeds from Pagford, and those who want to keep it.

Several townspeople jump at the opportunity to take Barry’s vacant seat, which causes the ghost of Barry Fairbrother to intervene.

Rowling narrates Pagford by observing a handful of dysfunctional characters like, Samantha, the middle-aged woman that pines for her youth (and youthful boys), Krystal, the teenage daughter of a heroin addict/prostitute, and Cubby, the principal of the local high school who

is determined to protect the Fields after the death of his best friend.

Rowling has a distinct pat-tern to her writing. For about three-quarters of her novels, there’s a steady buildup of character development and plot thickening before, in the final quarter, there’s an explo-sion of events that leaves the reader stupefied.

During the first week, “The Casual Vacancy” became the 15th top selling novel from 2012 and within a month, sold more than one

million copies.The media is raving about

“The Casual Vacancy,” and not all of it is good. A fam-ily of Sikh’s in Pagford has caused a controversy. Many Sikhs appreciate the accurate portrayal of how Sikhs are racially discriminated against while some Indian officials, like Avtar Singh Makkar, want the novel banned in India.

“The novel contains moments of genuine drama and flashes here and there of humor,” wrote the New

York Times’ Michiko Kaku-tani. “But it ends on such a disheartening note with two more abrupt, crudely stage-managed deaths that the reader is left stumbling about with whatever is the opposite of the emotions evoked by the end of the ‘Harry Potter’ series.”

Rowling took a relatively boring topic, like small town politics, and transfigured it into a fast pace and fun novel.

Lamar’s album could save the rap genre

This week is it. The next president will be decided and all those annoying polit-ical ads will finally come to a close. At this point, it feels like they have been going on forever.

So what will happen? For only one day after this article runs will we be unsure. But sex and reproductive rights have been a huge part of this year’s political discus-sions. Many opinions and false facts have been tossed around and have become viral on Facebook and oth-er media. Before it became less relevant, I wanted to go through some of them.

The first statement that comes to mind was about the need- or lack thereof- for abortions in rape cases by Todd Akin. He claimed that doctors had told him that when legitimately raped, a woman’s body will prevent itself from getting pregnant.

One, this is not true. Some form of birth control is what would prevent a wom-an from becoming preg-nant after being raped. The body does not differentiate between rape and consen-sual intercourse and decide to stop a process.

Two, what is “legitimate rape”? He may have meant violent rape where it is clear the woman is being raped. This invalidates women who are raped through manipu-lation and guilt, which is also emotional abuse (see my last article).

Unfortunately, he is not the only one to believe this. Back in 1995, Henry Aldridge said those who are truly raped don’t get preg-nant because their “juic-es” don’t flow. Akin later claimed he misspoke, but never offered his alternative “medical advice.”

Some politicians have said that rape is God’s will. Richard Mourdock said recently that he believed life begins at conception and that even in cases of rape, abortions should not be allowed. One of his sup-porters, Sen. John Cornyn, agreed with Mourdock that life conceived in this manner was a gift from God.

Mourdock did say that he does not condone violence and rape. But when using the religion card, why is it not pointed out that rape is wrong? If life begins at conception, why is the after-

math punished rather than targeting the cause?

Gov. Mitt Romney has been wishy-washy on some issues, including when it comes to abortion and birth control. He has flipped on where he stands on abortion exceptions, from none to only cases of incest, rape and threat to the mother’s health or life. He has also report-edly said that he will get rid of Roe v. Wade and funding for Planned Parenthood.

Where he will land, nobody knows. But what statistics show is that more education about sex leads to less unplanned pregnancies and abortions. And stopping the problem at the source has shown more effective, not only in rape but a wide variety of other issues as well.

The Wildcats had a poor performance at the net, being out-blocked seven to two with an attack percent-age of .082.

Junior Kelsey Ludin led the ’Cats with 11 kills, Frazier had 35 assists and freshman Courtney Uyeda produced 35 digs.

This was the last game for lone senior Bethany Dickey. Dickey had four digs in her final appearance in a Wildcat jersey.

The Wildcats had a much different outcome on their game against the Whitman Missionaries on Nov. 2, sweeping the fourth-place team.

The first set was a nail-biter, going past the 25-point mark. With the set tied at 28-28, the Wildcats took over, taking the final two points on kills from sopho-mores Victoria Thompson and Kailana Ritte-Camara, winning the set 30-28.

The second set was close as well. Tied up at 24-24, the Whitman setter committed two bad sets in a row, giving the set to the Wildcats 26-24.

The Wildcats took the third set 25-22, sweeping the Missionaries.

The Wildcats were able

to get past the Missionaries, while being out-blocked 11-2.

“Our defense stepped up a lot and our hitters were really aggressive at the net. We also were able to side out really quickly and not give up runs of points, which helped us to keep the momentum through all three games,” Frazier said.

Ritte-Camara led the ’Cats with 13 kills and 24 digs and Frazier added 37 assists.

“It felt so good to finally get a win,” sophomore Courtney Wanamaker said. “I think it built everyone’s confidence and ended our season on a positive note.”

The Wildcats finished their season with a nine and 14 record, going four and 12 in conference and finishing eighth overall.

Despite winning two more games and setting a record, the Linfield women’s soccer team lost a close battle for the Northwest Confer-ence Championship to the University of Puget Sound Loggers.

The Loggers defeated Pacific University 4-0 Nov. 4 to secure their 11th con-secutive conference cham-pionship. The Wildcats take home second place and wait to see if they will receive an at-large bid to compete in the playoffs.

Sophomore Stephanie Socotch guided her team to a 2-0 victory against Whit-worth on Nov. 3.

Socotch, the lone scorer of the game, stepped up for

her teammates in what could possibly be the last game of her career, as she will be moving to the Portland campus to pursue a nursing degree.

“I didn’t let any stress get to me, I just played. I don’t even know what happened,” Socotch said about scoring the pair of goals. “I thought the game was an overall team effort, it wasn’t just me.”

For the fourth time this season, the ‘Cats retrieved a win in overtime, defeating Whitman 2-1 Nov. 2. Junior Emily Fellows can be cred-ited for scoring both goals.

Although the ‘Cats were lagging in the first half with Whitman leading 1-0, a strong second half gained them the win.

Fellows scored the final goal with only 30 seconds

remaining in the first over-time period.

“It was our last two games so everyone went out and tried not to stress about it and had fun playing the game we love,” senior Emily Allison said about the final games of the regular season.

The Wildcats, with the respectable record 16-2-2, have a heap of accomplish-ments from the regular sea-son to reflect on and be proud of. The ‘Cats have allowed only 10 goals to be scored on them. Early in September, the ‘Cats earned a spot in the D3soccer.com Top 25 nation-al ranking for the first time in program history.

Then, not even a week later, they landed a first-ever spot in the NSCAA Top 25. With their 16th win, the ‘Cats set a Linfield record for the

most wins in a season. This season also allowed

head coach Dominic Doty to amass more wins than any past women’s soccer coach at Linfield.

But the Wildcats still have a chance to continue on with their season if they receive an at-large bid to participate in the playoffs.

The 64 teams that will be selected to participate in the 2012 NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Champion-ship will be broadcast in a live video show at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 5.

Let’s hope the selection committee is impressed with the ‘Cat’s successful regular season, as the fate of the ‘Cats now depends on them.

splitting the uprights from 27 yards to send the ’Cats into the locker room up 13-0.

The second half belonged to Inns, who tossed all three of his touchdown passes in the third quarter.

Inns found junior receiver Deidre Wiersma for a short nine-yard strike on Linfield’s first successful drive of the quarter. After more defensive dominance on the other side of the ball resulted in a punt, sophomore receiver Char-lie Poppen hauled down a 28-yard lob from Inns to cap a seven-play drive that took less than two minutes.

Shortly before the end of the quarter, Inns and Wiers-ma hooked up again, this time on a 23-yard connection that ballooned Linfield’s lead to 34-0.

Wiersma topped 100 yards for the first time in several games, finishing with 133 yards to go with his two touchdown catches.

Yoder picked up right where Inns left off, tossing a 29-yard pass to freshman

receiver Evan Patterson less than a minute into the fourth quarter. Puget Sound tailback Austin Wagner responded by scoring the Loggers’ only touchdown of the day on a 19-yard run on the ensuing drive.

Yoder had one more trick up his sleeve, hitting sopho-more receiver Derek Priestly with a 19-yard missile to cap the score at 47-7. The backup quarterback’s final line was impressive: 58 passes com-pleted, 119 yards and two

touchdowns. Senior tailback Stephen Nasca led Linfield’s running back corps with 56 yards on the ground in his second game back from inju-ry, although Shaffer scored the game’s only rushing touchdown.

The ’Cats retained their hold on the No. 3 spot in www.d3football.com’s Top 25 poll this week in addition to their No. 1 overall ranking in the West region. Should Linfield win its season finale at home against Pacific Uni-

versity, it would be in prime position to receive a No. 1 seed in the Division-III play-offs and secure the home-field advantage that comes with it.

For some people, it takes years to find true love. For me, I found it at the ripe old age of six years old.

In 1999, I was introduced to a bracket—a March Mad-ness bracket—and I have been smitten ever since. If I could, I would put a ring on it. Hey, that’s a good idea!

The 1999 tournament was incredible. I picked the Uni-versity of Connecticut to win the tournament because I liked their Husky mascot and their Husky point guard, Kha-lid El-Amin.

El-Amin and Richard “Rip” Hamilton led UConn to the title that year, upsetting one of the best Duke teams of all time in a nail-biting cham-pionship game. I loved UCo-nn’s swagger, even though I

didn’t know what swagger meant at age six.

Like I said, I did know what love was at age six, and nothing sealed my love more than UConn’s Elite eight game in 1999.

I was rooting hard for my new team, but it seemed as if its salty coach and its swagger had hit a roadblock with some

random team from Spokane, Wash. You may have heard of this team by now, but in 1999, this team was the nation’s new darling.

That’s right, I’m talking about the Gonzaga Bulldogs. 1999 was the year that they made their mark. Dan Mon-son had a team without top talent that was taking UConn to the brink. They led by one point at halftime, and all of a sudden, I realized how much I cared about the outcome.

This game is exactly why basketball is unbelievable. Maybe more than any other sport, team chemistry and coaching can dictate the path of a team. You need talent to win, but a team like Gonzaga in 1999 used team defense and outside shooting to

shock the world. Could they do it to UConn

too?As the game was drawing

to a close, my parents didn’t know what to do with me. I was jumping up and down, cheering after every basket, pleading with the UConn players to pull victory out of the jaws of defeat. As I look back, I was kind of like a mini Jim Calhoun. OK, maybe I’m not as stubborn, but still, UCo-nn needed the win.

Sure enough, there would be no Final Four for Gonzaga. El-Amin dribbled out the end of the game and the Hus-kies continued their dance. Strangely enough, I was sad for Gonzaga. They almost ruined my championship pick, but I couldn’t help but

love how they played. As the next 13 years

passed, Gonzaga became a national power. Its fans show the passion that makes col-lege basketball so great, and it recruits top players.

As for UConn, who knows where El-Amin is. Hamilton is still in the NBA—no facemask anymore, unfortunately. Jim Calhoun just retired after two more national titles and lots of rants on the sideline.

Fortunately for me, Cal-houn’s retirement doesn’t mean I am retiring my love for the game. That UConn team ushered me into a life of car-ing too much for the games. I can’t handle waiting seven months from the end of the season until the beginning of the next.

Thank goodness the sea-son starts next week. Hope-fully this year will be a suc-cess, just as my first March Madness Bracket was. This year is going to be wide open. There is no clear-cut favorite (unlike last year where Ken-tucky and Mr. Uni-brow were unfair), and we could find a new team like Gonzaga in 1999 or George Mason in 2006 or Butler in 2010.

I have no doubt the sea-son will be a success. College basketball never fails. Find your UConn this year if you haven’t already, and you’ll see what I mean. You’ll fall in love. But don’t you even begin to think that you can steal my true love. It’s all mine.Tyler Bradley can be reached at

Football: ’Cats secure conference title with win

The Linfield swim team struggled to keep up with Whitman College and Whit-worth University at meets on Nov. 2 and 3 in Walla Walla and Spokane, Wash.

Although the race times were close, Linfield’s men and women were edged out by Whitman, with final scores of 127-78 for the women, 14-62 for the men.

Placing first in four of the 22 events, the Wildcats swam hard to land close behind in many of the races.

Freshman Nikki Overton finished the 1,650-yard wom-en’s freestyle in first with a time of 19:02. Sophomore Aidan Willers swam to first

in the 1,650-yard men’s free-style, clocking 18:58.

Sophomore Kelcie Kimura led the way with two wins. She finished first in the 200-yard women’s freestyle with a time of 2:01 and won the 100-yard women’s freestyle at 55.11.

Other Wildcats who swam fast and placed high include senior Megan Sandall, who placed second in the 50-yard women’s freestyle with a time of 26.28. She finished second in the 100-yard wom-en’s freestyle at 57.40.

Junior Lee Rivers finished second in the 400-yard men’s IM at 4:29.

Junior transfer Daniel Pal-lacios finished third in both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle with times of 24.11 and 52.06, respec-tively.

In the 100-yard women’s butterfly, senior Catherine Nakamura placed second at 1:04. For the men, senior Sean Iwamasa finished the race in second at 56.28.

Despite the close loss on

Nov. 2, Willers said the team kept the positive energy com-ing.

“I think both days we swam really well. I saw lots of my teammates getting best times and putting in a great effort,” he said. “People were cheering for each other and providing encouragement for each other.”

Exhaustion from the day before proved to be a chal-lenge for the swimmers in their meet against Whitworth on Nov. 3.

Whitworth dominated the results with final scores of 152-53 for the women and 172-32 for the men.

“Saturday was tough, being tired from Friday, but we still had some decent rac-es,” Willers said.

Overton finished second with a time of 2:02 in the 200-yard women’s freestyle.

Kimura finished first in the 50-yard women’s free-style at 25.54.

For the men, freshman Ian White swam to third with a time of 23.05.

Rivers clocked in at 2:04 to place third in the 200-yard men’s IM.

Senior Katie Main fin-ished in second in the 200-yard women’s butterfly with a time of 2:17.

“[Whitman and Whit-worth] are strong, resilient and fast. They have some good kids on their side and they put up a good fight,” Willers said.

For many swimmers on the team, maintaining tech-

nique and speed while tired is one of the biggest chal-lenges. This especially can be said for those who swim the 160-yard race, which consists of 66 laps.

“Some of us need to focus on getting our technique correct when we tire out,” Willers said. “As a distance swimmer, I understand this completely. It is so hard to do simple things 40 laps into your 1,650. Every little detail becomes a struggle.”

The Wildcats will swim again Nov. 9 and 10 against Pacific Lutheran University and Puget Sound University, this time at their home pool.

Swim team collects multiple top finishes at meets

Men’s soccer took a hard loss in its final game of the season against Willamette, losing 4-3.

In the 12th minute of the game, the Wildcats won a corner kick when freshman Domenico Del Prete‘s shot was knocked out of play.

The Bearcats came back with a corner shot of their own.

Sophomore Grant Lori-aux made a save when a Bearcats player tried to

send in a shot. Near the end of the first

half, a Bearcats freshman forward snuck in a shot, closing the first half in the lead, 1-0.

Two minutes into the second half, another shot was attempted by the Bearcats but was blocked. They rebounded and sent in another shot, doubling their score.

The Wildcats came back into the match want-ing possession. Five min-utes into the second half, Del Prete started a pass

series with senior Tyler Sedlacek, who passed it to sophomore Jake Baker and

made it back to Del Prete, who gave the Wildcats their first point of the game.

Del Prete gained posses-sion of the ball again and the freshman tied the game for the ’Cats, 2-2.

The Bearcats contin-ued to try to create scor-ing opportunities but were blocked off by the Wildcats’ back line. With 22 min-utes left on the clock, the Bearcats made two back-to-back goals, doubling their lead 4-2.

Linfield fought back, with Del Prete shooting in point-blank range but being blocked. The forward rebounded the ball and

scored with a rebound. Throughout the remain-

der of the game, the Wild-cats struggled to even out the match, with the Bearcats ultimately taking the win.

Loriaux made eight saves for the Wildcats.

Overall, this season the Wildcats finished with a record of 7-11-0, which is better than their 2011 record 2-14-1. Del Prete completed his first collegiate season as Linfield’s leading scorer.

“The power of a small college.” It’s a catchy slogan Linfield students and faculty come across on a daily basis. Since returning to Linfield after having a baby during her sophomore year, junior cross country star Siena Noe has fully experienced the power of Linfield’s small community.

Staff, community mem-bers, students and team-mates have offered com-fort and support for the 20-year-old single mother of 7-month-old Blaise.

After finding out before sophomore year that she was pregnant, she will admit she was devastated. Her par-ents thought the pregnancy would result in many missed opportunities for their oldest daughter. However, life for Noe has been far from that with help from Linfield.

After realizing that little Blaise’s father had no inten-tion of being a part of her son’s life, Noe realized there was no reason for her to stay at her parent’s home in Yakima, Wash., and decided it was time to venture back to Linfield.

“Things were not good at home with the dad,” Noe said. “I’m a single mom. I thought the dad would be around and that me stay-ing home would be best for Blaise. When it started look-ing like he wasn’t going to show interest, I knew I had nothing to keep me home at that point. And that’s when I started emailing Linfield.”

Noe never expected to be back at school after what she had gone through. She knew it was going to be dif-ficult getting back on track, but she knew it was the best thing for her and her son.

“I didn’t think it was real-istic,” Noe said. “Linfield has been really great about me trying to come back here and everything with my baby. I emailed some people trying to see if my academic schol-arship was still applicable if I came back, which it was.”

Noe also never foresaw that a former boss would

eventually be renting out of her home to her. Eileen Allen provided Noe with the opportunity to rent a bed-room from her home and occasionally look after Blaise when needed.

“I got really lucky when my work-study boss from freshman year, Eileen Allen, found out I was trying to come back [to Linfield],” Noe said. “I needed a place to stay where Blaise could come with me, and she offered me a place for really cheap. If she hadn’t offered me a place to stay, that would have been the deal-breaker.”

Allen watches Blaise when Noe has 6:40 a.m. cross country workouts and when Blaise’s nanny is not avail-able.

“I managed to find a nan-ny who was trying to open her own in-home daycare,” Noe said. “I was her first customer, so I got priority and Blaise gets to hog her schedule.

“She covers me during all my classes on Monday through Thursday,” Noe said. “It’s super nice because she lives right across from Linfield, so I can dart over there whenever I need to breast-feed. She’s really great and Blaise loves her.”

Between Allen and the nanny, there are still times when Noe needs a babysit-ter in order to make it to practice and meets and fin-ish homework for her com-munication arts major and Spanish minor. She is lucky enough to have constant offers to watch Blaise free of charge.

“I have some of my friends from the team who watch him on Fridays,” Noe said. “Everyone here, espe-cially my team, has been really supportive. There is no way I would have been able to pull all this off with-out their help.

“Everyone has bent over backward to make sure that I’m getting to all my classes and getting enough sleep,” Noe said. “I have people randomly offering to take Blaise free of charge, just so I can take a nap.”

If it weren’t for the gen-

erous Linfield community, Noe would not be able to run for the Wildcats like she had trained for all summer.

“Getting back into shape wasn’t fun,” Noe said. “But it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be because I had been itching to go running. Being pregnant, it was really difficult to be told that I couldn’t go running because it would hurt some-one else besides me. My doc-tor told me to wait six weeks after giving birth, but I was back to running by day nine. I was a little stir-crazy.”

She ran until she was six months pregnant, to which she attributes her ease in bouncing back. Noe contin-

ued to train all summer long, but is still shocked at how well the season is going for her personally.

“I managed to run first for Linfield two weeks ago,” Noe said. “I have been battling for second and third most of the sea-son. I don’t feel like I am in the shape I am supposed to be in. But I feel like I am keeping up with the girls who have been training more than I did. It makes me pretty optimistic for next season.”

Noe has used the nega-tive energy from her home-town and doubts from many people about her ability to attend college

and run cross country with Blaise by her side to fuel her competitive drive.

“I like that it’s just you out there,” Noe said. “When you race, if you have a bad day or a good day, it’s because of you. It’s been all about taking my principles and turning it into my driv-ing force. I kind of knew what my principles were, but they were tested. I have had to solidify my values, which has made it easier to compete and steer my course.”

Noe is grateful for her support system here at Linfield. The Linfield com-munity has truly made it possible for her to be back

this fall.“Being a student athlete

and single mom has been no walk in the park,” Noe said. “Being on campus with a ton of kids my own age makes it feel like all of campus is raising Blaise, which is really awesome.”

A lot has changed since sophomore year for Noe, and she is making the most out of her time at Linfield.

“I really have a driv-ing force to finish school and apply myself because I have someone else to take care of. It’s not just me,” Noe said.

Wildcats lose final game of season, 4-3

The Wildcats volleyball team played its final two games of the season Nov. 2 and 3. The ’Cats went one and one on the weekend against Whitman University and Whitworth University.

The Whitworth Pirates came to Ted Wilson Gymnasium on Nov. 3 to face off against the Wildcats in the final game of the 2012 sea-

son. The first set started off tight, putting each team at 16 points. The Pirates pulled away after two Wildcat errors, eventually taking the set 25-20.

The Pirates took the second set with more ease. After keeping close with the ’Cats at an 11-10 score, Whitworth capitalized on three Linfield errors, scoring six straight points to put the Pirates up 17-10. The Pirates won the sec-ond set 25-16.

The Wildcats wouldn’t let their season end without a fight. After the intermission, the ’Cats jumped out to a two-nothing lead, and would never give it up, only allowing Whitworth to tie the set once at 3-3. The Wildcats won the set 25-23.

The Wildcats kept up with the Pirates, forcing the game to go past the 25-point mark. But with the game tied 27-27, the Pirates finally pulled away. Whitworth

took the next two points with kills, winning the final set 29-27, ending the game and the Wildcats’ season.

“We just gave up a lot of unnec-essary points and didn’t play with the same fire that we had on Friday night,” sophomore setter Audrey Frazier said. “The last few points in the final set, we finally stepped up and made some big plays, but

Last week the NCAA released its first set of regional rankings for Division III football, and Linfield checked in at first place in the West region. The Wildcats didn’t disap-point in their first week atop the regional ranking, sending the win-less University of Puget Sound to a 0-8 ranking in a 47-7 victory.

The Linfield defense throttled the Loggers throughout, forcing five sacks and denying the opposition a touchdown until long after the start-ers had left the game.

Senior quarterback Mickey Inns had his most impressive game of the season, amassing 422 yards through the air to go with three touchdowns and a 69 percent completion rating.

Combined with a sharp game from junior backup quarterback Josh Yoder, Linfield quarterbacks set a single-game record with 541 total passing yards.

In the early going, it was senior kicker Josh Kay who got things going for the Wildcats, opening scoring with a 32-yard field goal to stake Linfield to a 3-0 lead.

Kay’s second attempt of the day was wide left from 32 yards, but freshman running back Jon Shaffer darted into the end zone from one yard shortly after to expand the lead to 10-0.

Kay got another opportunity late in the first half and capitalized,
