' Trail' leads students to chocolate Open house encourages social justice conversations, education Ashley Gill GUEST WRITER

gillan@Plu.edu

An estimated 75 students abandoned the sidewalks of campus last Thursday and traveled the annual Chocolate Trail instead. For the second year in a r w the Women's Center and Diversity Center held a joint op n house caJled "Follow the Chocolate Trail." From 3-5 p.m. on Sept. 13, students went back and forth between the Diversity Ce ter and Women's Center answering trivi , playing games and eating chocolate. tudents dipped marshmallows, drenched strawberries and layered with Graham crackers chocolate from overflowing fountains.

Students simultaneously were able to see how the Diversity Center and Women's Center work together for similar goals. "I think the most important part of this, the Chocolat Trail, for me, is bringing together everybody," sophomore Mckenzie Sumpter said. "It's bringing together all types of people from all different backgrounds, ethnicities, groups, to enjoy a common thing like chocolate." Open houses have been an annual event since the Women's Center opened 23 years ago, and the Diversity Center was introduced to campus 1 1 years ago. These events present the centers as welcoming environments for all students, notify students of upcoming events and

introduce the staff. "It's not just about diversity, it's not just about women," sophomore Nicole Jordan said. "It's about building a community in PLU and providing a r .source for the students, a safe place and just support for everyone." Diversity the Since Center and Women's Center both publicize that they work toward social justice, Jennifer Smith, director of the W men's Center, and Angie Hambrick, director of the Diversity Center, decided during fall 2011 to connect the two centers to highlight that mutual goal. Follow the Chocolate Trail is a "good time to think ab ut issues of social justice, equity, diversity and sustainability," Smith said.

"I think the most important part of this, the

Chocolate Trail, for me, is bringing together everybody." Mckenzie Sumpter sophomore

"Chocolate is an easy way to

draw people into that," Smith

added. Connecting the open houses allows students understand to resources available at both centers and how they mutually promote social justice education. A goal of the open house is for the centers to be viewed as not only informational, but also safe places to relax, volunteer and meet new people. Hambrick, director of the Diversity Center for seven vears said, "We see ourselves in artnership with other places on campus, like the Women's Center, as being one of many hubs where these types of dialogs and conversations can happen." The Diversity Center

and the Women's Center collaborate on a series of retreats induding the Students of Color retreat on Sept. 21-22, the Women's retreat Oct. 5 and 6, Men's retreat on Oct. 6, the Queer Student retreat Oct. 1 3, and a Coalition retreat on Oct. 27, which brings together all four groups of students from previous retreats. The Diversity and Women's Centers also work together to put on the Se + series along with Lute Fit and the Health Center. The first event is Ocl 1 and will address the topic of

fetishes.

The two cent s also bring authors, documentaries, workshops and other events to campus throughout the year.

The Federal Copy Rights Act states that when movi are rented or p urch a stl d, the rights to show those movi .s publicly, a ide b: m hom viewings, does n t come with the mOVle itself. Purchasing the movie, and purchasing the copyri gh t s for public viewings are separate from one another and must b purchased separately as well. To match the guidelines set when showing movies on campus, themes, apparel and signage inherited similar restrictions as well. "To make sure consistency was across the board, we made the change," Olsen Krengel said.

Fair offers local volunteer options Jesse MaJor Gm::ST. WRITER •

mAJor.la@plu.edu

First-year Peyton Schmidt searched for her chance to volunteer in the community at the volunteer fair on Tuesday, Sept. 18. Whil� walking through the Anderson University Center, she was able to representatives talk to approximately 10 from organizations that offer volunteer opportunities to students like Schmidt. This would not be her first time volunteering. Schmidt previously volunteered for L'Arche Farm and Garden in Tacoma, which provides farm and garden work to people with developmental disabilities. After her experience, she was looking for more opportunities to volunteer. Schmidt attended the involvement fair earlier this fall and didn't find the volunteering options she was looking for. The volunteer fair was a "great opportunity to find out about volunteer options," Schm idt said. "I really like

helping people and supporting my community in any way I can." Although she likes supporting her community, Schmidt said she is limited by not owning a car. Joel Zylstra, director of the center for community engagement and service, said there are many options to volunteer locally and the CCES provides transportations to many events. Not only are a lot of volunteering opportunities near bus routes, many of them are near campus as well, Zylstra said. opportunity One service includes through Pacific Lutheran University Safe Streets, an partner organization with a mission of empowering individuals, families, youth, neighbors and organizations to create safe neighborhoods. Through Safe Streets, students can help promote a positive community around campus, Zylstra said. Tutoring students at Keithley Middle School is also an option, Zylstra added. tutoring, he said, When volunteers can connect with

the students they are helping and can see the challenges that the children have overcome. In some Parkland schools, 100 percent of students receive free or reduced lunch, Zylstra said. Students who volunteer may be able to connect a to volunteer experience experiences in the classroom and the broader PLU experience. "Learning is at the center of volunteering/' Zylstra said. "It's one thing to just volunteer for a couple of hours. It's another to think about it in relation to classes."

Junior Laticia Gingras, co-director for CCES, said that as citizens PLU students should contribute to society. At PLU, students are privileged and should break

out of the 'Lute Dome,' Gingras said. PLU students have the potential to change the perception of Parkland through volunteering, she added.

his wue Patrioa . This IS glonou�, Thomas Krise said. "We could n't have had a better day up here to k ep the tradition alive." The tradition be gan in 1896 when the PLU band climbed to Camp Muir with their instruments to celebrate the construction of the new school. The hike only became yearly event, howev r, when Rev. Nancy Connor and Rev. Denni Sepper came to PLU. For the past 18 years, Campus Ministry has taken students up to Mt. Rainier every fall. Campus Ministry covers all costs, including transportation and entrance fees. The trip attracts many first years and international students. This year's tum-out was the best in years, Connor sa id The group fill ed a school bus and two campus ministry vans. The group drove nearlv two hours to reach Paradise Nationaf Park where the hike began. Two miles of steep incline followed, leading to Panorama Point. "I almost thought about not

coming, but I'm glad I did," senior Una Aas-Helseth said. "This is the best weather we've had in th pc st four years," Connor said. Rain prevented the group from reaching the top during the 2010 hike, Conner said . Th� y were forced to stop al Camp Muir, a quarter of th length of Sunday's hike. Sights al ng the way included views of valle ys, waterfalls, rivers and the occasional marmot sunning itself an a rock. Stud nts were cheered on by Campus Ministry staff as they completed the last leg of the journey up to Panol'ama Point. The hikers were then allowed time to rest and eat snacks and sandwiches provi ed by Campus Ministry. At Panorama Point, Connor gathered the grou p together for a orshi p . Soph more moment of Peter Swanson read the invocation, Psalm 121, beginning with, ''I lift my eyes t the hills." Ciara Eickhoff, another sophomore, led the group in a rendition of "A Mighty Fortress is Our God," the same song played by the PlU Band 116 years ago. After a group photo, the hikers dispersed down the mountain for the swifter downhill trek. "It's amazing to see God's creation. I feel his presence," first-year Ali ce Li said after the service.

e With e Unive Amelia Heath FOCUS EDITOR h alham@Plu.edu The hot-button issue of h alth care in the nation's capital has now hit close to home. Near the end of spring semester last year, the Office of the Preside t anno un ced that Pacific lutheran U n i versity would no longer offer to hard waive health insurance studen ts In its pla ce, the uni versity created the Wen ne s Ac cess Plan, at a mandatory fee of $300 per stu dent each year. The plan was created by Sheri Tonn, vice president of finance and operations, Laura Majovski, vice president of student l i fe and dean of students, Matt Freeman, dir tor of the health and coun seling c nters, as well as Chris Rice, fitnes center coordinator, Erin McGinnis, director of dining and cu linary services and Laurie Turner, director of athletics. Tonn said PLU's previous health insurance plan made no mon e y for the univ rsity beca use almost everything was paid out in premiums. With the Wellness Access Plan, the msurance purchased by the university is self funded. With claims that have a lower cost than the ins rance premium, Tonn said, "we could actually get some of that money back" and build a reserv for claims that cost more than the p re mi u m . A little more than fifty percent f the student fee goes to. the self-ftmded pTograrn and the rest goes to n ew wellness and nutrition programs. The plan was creat .d in a little more than on month.

!lieberam@Plu.edu Life as a first year can suck. You are the lowest on the totem pole. You get last pick for nearly everything. Meanwhile you are trying to navigate in a stormy sea, surrounded by strangers, without your parents - or your cat - for su pport. It is frightening business. Here are the top ten most frightening things about being a first year:

the bed - So you haven't ince you were four, but you bly haven't slept in a twin four . Most of us have s 10 ur . - and we won't even mention what a fright that was - so it is a bit of a distance if you fall off. When you do, it probably will not leave much of a mark. A small fracture at the most. Better hope your roommate is nice enough to walk you to the health center.

GUEST COLUMNIST mcclaisl@plu.edu

Among many other first year students, I read a book this summer as a participant in the Common Reading Program. This year the book chosen was "Into the Beautiful North" by Luis Alberto Urrea. It is about the journey of a girl and her friend from their small Mexican town to the United States. Their mission: find men and bring them back to defend their town from banditos. The purpose of the Common Reading Program is to give first-year students a foundation for cOlmecting to a variety of people they've never met. "It was a nice opportunity to get to know other first years in an academic setting," first-year Haley Ehlers said. The book was a wonderful way to start a conversation with other first years. It gave us an opening. We were able to bond over the book, though not in the way that the designers of the program p r o ably exp cted. 1 imagine they wanted us to connect by ta l king about our o pinions on di fferent cenes, or what we thought of the ending - you know, really discuss the book like we might do in a classroom. In this aspect the program failed miserably. "I would rather meet people on my own terms

Most of the bonding I heard regarding the book was shared relief between students who had not read it. student Sometimes a expressed pity if he or she read the book but a new friend had not, because there were several events during orientation devoted to the book that were mandatory. A lot of students thought the reading was optional. Then when they arrived, they were shocked to find that it was essentially compulsory. events during Two orientation were devoted entirely to the program. A panel of professors gave their opinions about the book and small group discussions followed. Many of us were led by the professoT of one of our fall courses. Tho e who hadn't Iead the book felt panicky during discussion, not wanting to embarrass them se l yes in front of their new professors. My main critiqu e of the program is i ts Wlclear expectations. We we ren ' t told that it was m andatory to read the book; it was presented to us as optional. But overall, the p rogram worked . It gave us something to bond over, something we could use to breach s cial gaps and start conversations about the fact that we did not complete our first assignment.

e1ysr@plu. du FY EDITOR

BQys, girls, se h my! For some, o U ege is a my riad of temptation and hithert untouched "£ [bidden fruit." Regardle of religious affiliation, however. Pacific Luth�ran Universi ty is relatively progressive in promoting safe sex Programs like the Sex + (Usex positiv e" ) series as well as Health Center services provide a framework for r ponsible action and healthy conversation a bou t 'ex But as with any good policy, the challenge comes with applica tio in order to establish consistency . Here I see room for improvement. Residence hall b a throoms across campus all fea ture nifty little boxes, ideal for the distribution of condoms . . . or, I guess, Dum Dums? The contents of these boxes are left to the discretion of Resident Assistants. So in the heat of the a clandestine moment, trip to the bathroom may be orne a "choose your own adventure." Condom placement shou1d be mandatory in all residence

hall batlu:ooms, along with infomlational ma terial about other b irth control methods, SITs and sexual violence. RAs are the primary link between u nive rs I ty policy and on-ca m p us studtmts, and should have a bigge r role in p romotin g safe sex. Admittedly, PLU is ahead of ma ny religiously-affiliated institu ·ons in promo ting "sex-positive" culture. I just wonder how PLU's promotion of safe sex hasn' t fully trickled down into its most tangible applicatio� personal protection in the hands of students. Jennifer Smith, professor of women' s and gender studies and director of the Women's Center, said she encourages making condoms a ailable in ev ery residence hall For Sm i th, it "send the message that sexual well being is a v alue carried across the urriversity," she said . In reference to the Women's Center's supply, Smith adds that " oftentimes, we put stickers on them that say ' Go t Consent?'" IT your RA happens to be among those who seemingly value dental decay-or perhaps the abstract artistic statement made by an empty box - over safe sex, know

that condoms are available at both the Health Center and the Women's Center. Or maybe down the h 11, i f you're ludy My point is: conSIStency is key . The ability to rely not nly on an institution but on our peers for support regarding sexual heal th and general well-being is jmmensely meaningful - and m my opinion likely to be more impactful. A brochure can be well-worded, b u t it cannot be compassionate. First years in particular need to be directed t important .resources, as the flurry of new faces, places and expectations can become overwhelming. RAs and oth er student leaders should not 1ffiderestimate the role they play in resident well-being, an d it is imperative that th y not shy away from issues of sexual health, even if such discussions are slightly out of their corniort zones. These conversations bridge the gap between policy and pe rsonal growth for e veryone involved . Safe sex i�n't just .individual prero ga ti ve; it's a community concern. So let's "get busy."

mejlaekk@Plu.edu Many of us roll our eyes at unrealistic plot lines or characters in television shows. A case-in-point is the NBC comedy series "Community," which depicts an experience very different from student life at Pacific Lutheran University. The series focuses on students and their lives at a fictive community college. True, Greensdale (:ommunity College, is no private university, but one would expect aspects of the typical college experience to translate. As with most portrayals of college life, "Community" fails to depict students consistently studying. Not seen on "Community" are the late nights of cr amming, the stress of tests, and the consequences of not preparing. Then again,

makes sense that some of the grimmer facets of college don't make the cut. That the college life

by their differences. They all bring a number of unique aspects to their relationships. Allison Sophomore McClure said the show does "accurately represent the diversity found on college campuses with its character set.' Sophomore Drew Johnson agrees that the show's diversity is its most realistic aspect. "Everyone at PLU has their own quirks and flaws, just like the characters in 'Community.'" "Community's" diversity encompasses the inclusion of non-traditional students, such as 66-year-old Pierce Hawthorne, played by Chevy Chase. However, "Community" may have missed the reality mark when it comes to this student. "Many of the older students that appear in 'Community' seem not to care

about receiving an education," Johnson said. McClure agreed, saying that Pierce was more of a stereotype than a student. "Contrary to Pierce, there is a certain respect and dedication shown by our non traditional students who are coming back to further or finish their education rather than to simply have something to do." McClure said. Of course, polite and academically committed students don't make for the best television, hence "Community's" decision to part with reality. To an extent, every character on "Community" is an exaggeration. However, this does not diminish the importance of highlighting so many different types of people. In comedies, embellished characters are the rule, but it is the people "Communi ty" chooses to embellish that make it different.

quarterback Chad Hurst did not play due to injury. Backup junior quarterback Will King started the game under center for Redlands. W'Ith a backup quarterback, Redlands marched down the field on the game's opening drive. On the fourteenth play of the drive, junior cornerback Jonny Volland read a wide receiver bubble screen and intercepted King on the Pacific Lutheran three yard line. This was the only time Redlands sniffed the end zone in the first half. Following the turnover, the Lutes got their chance to score. Coach Scott Westering dialed up a speed option between sophomore quarterback Dalton Ritchey and junior rungnin back Brandon James. James picked up 37 yards on the play. The Lutes ran for 1 89 total yards Saturday.

outside running game was due to the exceptional blocking by sophomore receivers Herr, Kellen Westering and junior Jon Zeglin. Sophomore WI'de receIver . Austin Hilliker said that coaches Dane Looker and Gavin Stanley "emphasized a lot of attention on cut blocking this week." The Lute's opening drive was stalled, however, when Ritchey targeted sophomore receiver Kyle Warner on a curl rout, but senior cornerback Brandon Morris of the Bulldogs broke up the fourth down pass attempt. PLU scored first at the end of the first quarter after junior free safety Sean McFadden forced a Bulldog fumble on the Redlands 26 yard line. Two plays later, the speed option worked again, and with a seal block from Westering, Bran30n James was able to

in front 6-0. Senior kicker Nick Kaylor pushed the lead to 7-0. The Bulldogs ran only two plays on their next drive before PLU senior outside linebacker Erik HOlum . pIC. ked off King's pass and scored from 44 yards out. It was the first touchdown for the Lutes defense this season. The defense then forced the Bulldogs to punt after four plays. After receiving the punt on their own 23 yard line the Lutes needed only 88 seconds to travel 77 yards, furthering the lead to 21-0. Quarterback Dalton Ritchey connected with Kyle Warner on a post rout from 30 yards out. The Lutes scored one more time in the second half on an II-yard pass from Ritchey to sophomore tight end Lucas Sontra during the fourth quarter. Redlands did manage to put 14 · ' on a defense

held the Redlands offense to 288 total yards, forcing four turnovers and sacking King three times. "We made of mistakes . a lot the prevIOUS ' week agamst Cal Lutheran, we corrected them and it was apparent on Saturday," senior defensive end Thomas Haney said. The Lutes are id1e this week, but play host to the No. 3 Lirlfield Wildcats at Sparks Stadium on Sept. 29. Pacific Lutheran has lost the last 10 games against the Wildcats but isn't backing down. "We understand the challenge that Linfield presents to us but we are going to prepare in the only way we know how and that is continuing to improve in comparison to ourselves and we willlet the game take care of itself on the 29th," sophomore safety Greg Hibbard said.

1 Don't drink and draft This could be the cardinal sin of fantasy football. It could cause the car wreck that would be your fantasy football season. Rega rd] 55 of how many old ones you've had you should be fine throug the first couple of roun d s. Most leagues show you the best pla y rs a ilable. However, once you start getting to round eight the "belligerent busts" tart showing up. You feel like Terrell Owens is going to have a good year? T.O. is not in the league right now. Oh, the Browns kicker, Phil Dawson, will surprise people this year? Dawson is owned in less than f ur percent of all ESPN leagues. Matt Hass lb c is going to lead the Titans to the Super Bowl? No. Please draft responsibly.

2. .ev r CI velao B

raft

To be fair, rookie running

back Trent Rich rdson has performed pretty well in his fit t two games in the NFL. Richardson ran for 109 yards and a touchdown Sunday. But Browns jokes are too easy. Dra fti ng a Browns p l ayer would require following one of ilie NFL's worst teams. Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden threw four interceptions in week one. lt is tough to score fant a sy points when the Br wns defens is on the field the whole game. And don' t even lhink abo u t picking up the Browns'

'defense. It is owned in just over four percent of all ESPN leagues. What can a Brown do for you? Not much.

3. Avoid aulo-draftin t all 0 Auto-drafting all but forfeits any chance of winning your league. Players that are missing substantial time because of injury are left in the "best player available" lists and y u will get stuck with a couple of the injured. And you, the "informed drafter," should know that those lists are merely someone else's opinion. Yes some people paid a lot of money to make those lists, but no champion follows that template. Call in sick. Say your dog at your homework. Claim you "complet ly forgot about that d ntist appointment." If you are goi g to enjoy your fantasy season, you had better be planted in your chair when that draft starts.

4. lIekers and delense hav more value Iban vou thlnl For some reason, the stereotype exists that you need to wait until the last couple rounds for these two roster spots. Not at all. Nothing drags a team down like a klcker who can'l kick or a mediocre defense. Games are decided y field goa l .

5. T ere I n ne d I lalle IW Quan rb eks rlv The quarterback you draft first only has one bye week in the whole season. You don't need to draft a quarterback to fill tha t one week. You are not drafting quarterbacks that y u think are going to be b nched by their coach. Sure, injuries happen, but that is what the waiver wire is for. Drafting a second quarterback in the early or even middle rounds only prevents you from drafting a running back or wide receiver that will score points for you weekly. A second quarterback will collect dust on your bench all season. In my second league, a fdend drafted Drew Brees at six overall and Cam Newton at 22 overall. Not only was I shocked that someone would do that, but I was pretty upset because I was planning on taking Newton at 23 overall. Call it karma. Call it irony. But that double-quarterback drafter is 0-2.

6. Don1 draft V r team round a p d termln d name There are 1 6 teams in the NFL Each tea m ha 53 p layers on their active ro ter. TI1at is a

Steven Hauschka, is a fun name, but he is owned in barely over one percent of all ESPN fantasy leagues. Don't draft him unless you are content with your team being named after a player not on your roster. "Cleaning my out Clausen," is another example. Jimmy Clausen is a backup quarterback for the Carolina Panthers and in all likelihood will rack up zero fantasy points this season. However, if you have a good player with a name you can work with, go for it.

If you are invited to a league, you are invited for a reason. Your friends want you to play. Don't be the person who breaks these rules, finds themsel s in the cellar f the league, and gives up on the season halfway through. It is significantly more enjoyable for everyone ill the league if a ll the members are actively participating. It establishes parity in the league: there aren't a couple of teams that can't even compete weekly, and there aren't a couple of teams that run away with the league.

II re rs

Saints

many of us this is a touch decision to make on draft day. The Saints are an air-it-out offense and Drew Brees is the all-time NFL I ader m career passing yar s. Another seemingly interesting part of Brees's game though is that he likes to For Iway

throw to a different receiver, running back or tight end every game. If he could throw to his lineman, he would. Marques Colston, the Saints best known wide receiver, may have 110 receiving yards on Sunday. But it might be the last time he does that for a month. The name of the game in fantasy is consistency, and the Saints wide receiver statistics are as consistent as the Washington weather.

9. Your teall n me m be m morable

There are few things in fantasy football more annoying than looking to see who you are playing this week to find that you are playing "Team Jones." Your reputation within your league only goes as far as your team name will take you. And I can tell you "Team Jones," isn't receiving many popularity points within its league.

10. n vou Win, brag There is no excuse not to brag in fantasy football. In the rare event that I can't pull off a victory on a given week, I am going to avoid the person who beat me. You may already know, however, that hen am jump! ant, I w'U go out ,f my way t o remind tha t person 1 beat them. The I ag1.1e ch a m p i o n has bragging righ ts for an entire year.

who is starting his tenth year as baseball head coach, said. Discussion about a new infield started in 2011. PLU will join Linfield as the only other school in the Northwest Conference with an artificial infield. With the turf installed, practices can be held year round, provicting a place for community baseball teams to practice during the summer. Playing sports in the Northwest can prove to be a challenge - it is no secret that the winter and spring bring rainy days and muddy fields. Playing in this weather can be an obstacle for most outdoor . sports, forcing prac ces inside or cancelling them altogether. "In the past we've ha d to spend the majority of January, February and March practicing mdoor ," Loomis sai d . "We fully expect that the new infield wi l l allow us to

over natural fields. While an afternoon of rain can leave a field muddy and sli ppe ry, a turf field enables the water to d rain fast r an allows the players to play and practice withou t ' terruption. "Playing on turf is just a

The perk s of trying d e rpr nist s is l o u u m C . ew ge nr s by teen n o ve l Kelsey Mejlaender

GUEST WRITER

mc:;jIaekk@Plu.edu I want to share the experience of reading a story. This is more than a review - it is a recommendation. I just finished the short novel, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. The story, set in the early 1990s, focuses on high s h 01 freshman Charlie, who writes a series of letters to an anony ous individ ual about hi fit t year. Before you reject "The Perks of Being a Wall flower" for being a novel only for high school students, I should tell you the movie version, which carne out last week, stars E m ma Watson from "Harry P tter," Logan Lennan from "Percy Jacks n and the Olympians" and Ezra Miller from the horror film "We Need to Talk About Kevin." The point is, not only are some of these young actors pretty famous, but none of them are actually high school students. So, if such ' old' and fajrly well-respected actors

can snag parts in the movie adaptation, the book cannot be that bad. And the truth is, it was actually rather incredible. Now, I do not typically read literature from this genre. I usually go for thrillers and fantasy. This column gave me an excuse to read a book for fun though, and I had been on planning reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" for a while I because knew Emma was Watson going to be in the movie. And I am really glad I did. Perks "The of Being a Wallflower" is the kind of book you read when you need to feel at peace. The protagonist, Charlie, is the most endearing character I have ever encountered.

This book has a lot of things that would make some people - especially those who like banning books - shudder with disapproval. Swearing, smoking a variety of things and sex are prevalent in the book, but none of these elements were overbearing or referenced in a way that made me think the author, Chbosky, w a s including them just b e c a u s e that is what everyone e x p e c t s teens to do. I started the book not expecting to like it. The simplistic writing style that seemed to be more reminiscent of a sixth grader's than a high school freshman's definitely irked me. However, as the book progressed, his writing

improved and the character became well defined. Soon enough, my former frustration vanished. When I started reading this book, I took notes. About 40 pages in I stopped and the last line I wrote was "this kid is just the sweetest." I laughed a lot, both when the author probably intended readers to and when he did not. To the authors credit, the book has remained timelessly humorous and poignant. Take this line from page 33: "And a really bad song about love that had the word 'baby' in it." Some things never change, ri ght Justin Bieber? Because this book is about adolescence, it has a lot of sober moments as well. And for those who are wondering: I did cry. I wouldn't call the though, book depressing because I set it down feeling, as the author wrote, .. a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time." That may sound dreary, but I promise it is not - you will have to take it in context.

Because this book is about adolescence it has a lot of sober moments as well and for those who are wondering: I did cry.

thinking makes irritation impossible. Besides, the goody-two shoe types are not usually so relaxed about experimenting with drugs.

Arrow

Premieres Wednesday Oct.

10 on CW at 8 p. m.

Arrow is about multi-billionaire, a Oliver Queen, who survived a shipwreck and was left stranded alone on an island. He was believed to be dead for five years efore being rescued and taken back to his lavish lifestyle. Oliver used to be an obnoxious playboy who had no respect for others, not even his faithful girlfriend. In

addition, he was part of a selfish, corrupt family. However, his five-year experience away from the city gave him time to do some soul searching and Oliver made a complete tum around in his life. His new goal is to right the wrongs of his corrupt family by killing off other corrupt individuals in the big city.

The Voice

Monday cj Tuesday on

NBC at 8 p. m.

Radio and TV personality · Carson Daly hosts a singing competition where contemporary artists blindly choose singers to be coached on how to thrive in today's music industry. In . the grand finale, one singer is chosen to receive a recording contract and their coach gets to say they discovered "The Voice." Coaches in The Voice include pop rock heartthrob Adam Levine. Joining him are soul singer Cee-Lo Green and pop icon Christina Aguilera.

Country sweetheart Blake Shelton also serves as a coach. We have a couple of twists to look forward to in this new season. Each coach now gets to choose 1 6 singers for their team whereas before they were only allowed 12 per team. In the recent trailer, the coaches keep hinting at a new opportunity in the competition to trade singers between the four coaches. This would essentially allow coaches to steal singers from other coaches later in the competition.

How

MoruJay on CBS at 8 p. m.

This is a story about a group of five best friends living in Manhattan. Just about everything having to do with love goes awry. This sitcom is told in the form of "flashbacks," as main character Ted Mosby tells his kids, in the year 2030, how he met their mother with his four best friends by his side. How I Met Your Mother stars Neil Patrick Harris, which is a foolproof ingredient for entertainment. Odds are we still out find won't

It's Lhe m st wonderful lime of the year Not Chri Stn1 as. Fall The NFL season is three weeks in. College fo tball is already off to an .intriguing tart. And the MLB playoff race i on its final lap. N body m their right mind, living outside of Phoenix, thought the Arizona Cardinals would b 3-0 with victories over the New England Palriots and Phllad lphia Eagles. The replacement officials have proven to be more of a source of entertainment than a ource for officiating games. On Sunday Night Football l wasn't UTe if we were walching a football game or an interesting new game called " watch the unqualified referees allow the Ravens and Patriots to do whatever they want." Monday Night Football this week was a beast of its own. The referees seemingly dtd all but pick the winner in a 14-1 2 Seahawks win. In college football, few thought the Oregon State Beavers would be 2-0, knocking off two ranked teams, no. 1 3 Wisconsin and no. 1 9 UCLA. And the Andrew Luck-Ie s Stanford Cardinals beat no. 2 USc. Th be.! t part is we till have nine weeks of the regular season rem aining. In Major League Baseball, including today, there are six day of regular season baseball left to be played. This is the first s a n that two wildcard teams fT m ·ach league will advance to the po tscas n.

If you can' t watch an Oregon game, just d1eck your Facebook feed . 1 p r mise you half o f your £ d win consist of people lalking about Oregon's "new" uniforms and game updates. On SatuTday, Nov. 3 the Ducks travel to Lo Angeles to take on no. 13 USc. The Ducks are currently ranked no. 2 This matchup has already been dubbed the preview for the Pac-12 championship game. Whether the two teams meet again in the postseason r not, it is a m sl watch.

Prediction: Last year the Trojans went into Eugene and ended the Ducks' title hopes with a 38-35 victory. The Ducks were no. 4 in the country before the loss. Senior quarterback Matt BaTkley is playing one of his last hom games ever in a Trojan unit rID. H kn ked off the Ducks la t year and he will do it again. Oregon has an improved defense but the Trojans will end the Ducks national title hopes for a sec nd straight year in a shootout.

That's a tough ne 1 comprehend 'The Rams have been domg a superb job of bdng a placcmat for the NFC fot the past several years. This series brings out even the least committed ahawk fans.

The Seahawks against the Rams dating back to 2005 . With a resurgent Seahawks defense and an exciting new quarterback in Russell Wilson it is tough to pick against Seattle. So I won' t. The Seahawks will win in a dogfight Sunday as the Rams have shown igns of life under new Head Coach Jeff Fisher. And no road game is ever easy - unless you are playing the Browns. n we k 1 7 the Seahawks will be fighting fOT pl ayoff positioning and the Seahawks don't lose at home.

"The idea behind Hour of No Power is to encourage people to not use it for an hour and realize it can be fun." Tasks like unplugging a laptop charger not in use or turning off a power strip is a "friendly way to decrease energy usage," Pfohl said. At the event, students were encouraged to fill out sustainability pledges and reflect on how much energy they use on a daily basis. Sophomore Stephanie Mock, who attended Hour of No Power, said she is glad to see the university focusing on another aspect of sustainabi ity besides recycling. "I think it's great that PLU is trying to be as sustainable as possible," Mock said. "It's nice to focus specifically on electricity. I think its good for awareness and to save some power."

mejlaekk@Plu.edu The latest book by J.K. Rowling is anything but magical, abandoning Harry Potter for dull adult literature. "The Casual Vacancy" is about the unexpected death of a prominent citizen, Barry Fairbrother, in a small English town called Pagford, and the gossiping, emotional heartache and political scheming that occurs afterwards. Part of the conflict centers on whether or not a poorer part of town should continue to get assistance. the dominate Adults majority of the character cast. There is no main character, as perspectives switch from townsperson to townsperson, sometimes multiple times in one chapter.

moral ambiguity doesn't have to drain the personality out of characters either. No one in "The Casual Vacancy" is witty, comedic or really notable in any way. While the book's best aspect is its treatment of socioeconomic clashes, both the rich and the poor characters dim the potential for any meaningful impact. Perhaps I'm just too young, or too American to appreciate this novel, but I have a hard time seeing how anyone could think this is a work of any great caliber. Even though I didn' t like the book, doesn' t mean you shouldn't read it. Every bad review in the world couldn't have stopped my hands from flipping through the pages because this is J.K. Rowling after all, the world's first billionaire novelist. But wait till you can get it in the library - it doesn't deserve a spot next to our favorite boy wizard.

Senior Ethan Manthey, public relations director of GREAN, suggested vegetarianism as a great way to help the nvironment because of "how much energy goes into raising a cow versus growing grain."

While

I appreciate the article "Lutecare"

Mast's abQut the

new Wellness Access Plan, my opinions of the article currently mirror my opinions of the plan: well int ntioned, but p orly executed. It is m st deeply offensive Ulat the Mast decided to describe the visi ts to the Health Center under the new plan as "free," saying that they ar "removing charges . . . for services provided." These visits are not free, and the charges have not been removed . They are paid for b y the more than $40,000 that each student pays to attend PLU, and by the new Wellness Access Plan fee. It is an insult to the intelligence of the student body to describe these services as anything less than "at no additional cost." My other concerns include

that the majority of the information presented was made available to students by mid May . While it is nice to have it su mmed up in one article, the Mast shol1ld be more than just a fact-compiler, and should comment on more aspects of the plan, such as other options the university could have considered, and why they thought that thi was the best option, as well as a vari ty of student opinions. On that note, the article ends with a quote from a first year saying that he thinks it is great that he will not have to pay copays for the health center. Many of us share in his relief. However, there are still a number of students who are frustrated by this additional fee, concerned about how it could be included in the ever-increasing tuition, and are now without health insurance. these Overlooking opinions and issues is extremely unprofessional and biased, and I hope that they will be adequately addressed in an upcoming issue. -

They manifest realistically diverse I vels of commitment to their schoolwork, from Annie's perfectionism to Jeff's 'Tom Sawyer-worthy' aversion to effort, and this is reflect d in their class performance, i ncluding the very real p os sibility of failure for the less diligent. So while the stress and effort related to being in college may not be the focus of the show, they're not absent either experienced Having both real and community college, and having actually watched the show, I can't think of a more accurate fictional portrayal. The column chooses to specifically single out one character, Pierce, as unrealistic, and "more of a stereotype than a student" for being unrepresentative of 'non-traditional' college attendees. It completely ignores Shirley, a mother of two returning to school, who clearly displays the "respect and dedication" they criticize Pierce for lacking. It's still unclear to me why they cite him as especially unrealistic. He happens to be rich, white, old and .

'Buddhist,' but just like Shirley (middle-class, black, 40s and very Christian) and every other character, he fits squarely into some of those stereotypes, and outright defies others. Kind of like real people do. As I think the author wa trying to say in their con lusion, the d pth and humanity of Community's character set, as individ uals and as they relate to each other, is one of the things that makes the show great. I say 'I think' th at s what the author was tryjng to say, because I'm still not entire ly '

sure. r don't

think it's an opinion piece, because I don' t see an opinio n, but it's not informative either, because the author never gives the reader any idea of what the show is actually like, or why so many of us love it so much. We're told that the characters don't study, but nothing about what they do. We're told they aren't realistic, but nothIDg about what they are. There certainly aren't specific examples anywhere. At the very least, the column could have mentioned that if you want to see for yourself what all the fuss is about, "Community's" fourth season premieres Oct. 19 at 8: 30 on NBC.

The Lutes have played two games on its new field winning by a combined score of 7-0 over George Fox and Pacific. Tonight will be extremely competitive. This is the first true home, night game for the Lutes, who are going to play with tremendous energy in front of what is sure to be a large home crowd. The

two teams play contrasting styles. 1 he Lutes prefer to play uptempo while the Loggers enjoy slow, d efensive games. It is hard to pick against a quick Lutes team playing on turf under the lights. The "blacked out" crowd's energy will propel the Lutes to a crucial Northwest Conference victory.

As hard as it may be to

believe, Pacific Lutheran fall athletics are already one month lnto their seasons. The football team sits at 1-2, 0-1 . The two losses for the Lutes came from the hands of nO. 3 Lin fi ld and n w o. 8 California Lutheran. The L utes victory came over O . 25 Redlands. The Lutes are the lone team in the conference to have played only three games. The volleyball team is currently ranked no. 17 in the nation with a 12-2, 6-0 m ark. The Lutes two losses I ave come to now no. 10 Puget Sound in a non-confer nce matchup and to Colorado College in Colorado Springs on Sept. 8. The soccer program's power rankings will come next week. As PLU fall sports enter the meat of their conference schedules, where do the Lutes stack up against the rest of their conference foes?

l . Linfield Wildcats 4-0, 1 -0 tie for first place

At no. 3 in the country it is impossible to see the Wildcats at any spot other than no. 1 . The Wildcats overcame an early 14-0 deficit to knock off the Lutes last weekend. Linfield certainly looked beatable but the Northwest Conference champion of the past three seasons found a way to win.

Reigning Offensive Player of the Year junior quarterback Keith Welch is once again tmder center for the Pioneers that are scoring over 38 points per game. The Pioneers finished second last season after knocking off the Lu tes 34-32 in Puyallup.

3. Pacific Lutheran Lutes 1-2, 0-1 tie for fifth place

The Lutes have dropped two of their first three game but have played a mu rderou s opening schedule. The Lutes feU at home to no. 1 1 California Lutheran and no. 3 Linfield. The Lutes defeated no. 25 Redlands in California Sept. 15. The schedule doesn't get any easier for the Lutes this weekend as they travel to Oregon to take on last season's runner-up Lewis and Clark.

4. Willamette Bearcats 4-0, 0-0 fourth place The Bearcats round out the remaining unbeatens in the NWC. Willamette opened their season with a solid 58-34 win in Texas at Hardin-Simmons. Willamette played Pacific in a non-conference game on Sept. 22 and thumped the Boxers 51-17. The Whitworth Pirates, no. 5 in my rankings, await the Bearcats tomorrow.

5. Whitworth Pirates 5-0, 1 -0 tie for first place The Pirates are undefeated five games into the season but have played a relatively weak schedule. Whitworth has won two games in California but it played La Verne and Whittier, two of the weaker teams

If early season results tell us anything it appears that the two Tacoma schools will be fighting for the NWC title this season. The Lutes took it to the second place and no. 10 Loggers 3-0 Wednesday opening up a two-game over UPS. The Lutes are for real.

ranked no. 10 but will drop after falling to the Lutes Wednesday. Now trailing the Lutes by two full games the Loggers will need help from within the NWC to surpass the Lutes.

3. George Fox 6-7, 4-2 tie for third place

It i.s fair to say that the Bruins struggled in non conference play but found i stride within the c nfines of the NWC schedule. The Bruins could join the championship conversation but will have to pull off a few upsets along the way. The Bruin come to town to play the Lut s tonight at 7 p .m. The game co Id determin e if the Bruins are going to compete for a NWC title or not. Three c nference losses this early in the season might be too much to overcome.

4. Pacific Boxers 5-9, 4-2 tie for third place The Boxers had a nightmare start to their season dropping their first seven matches but have won five of their last seven matches. The Boxers beat George Fox, no. 3 in rankings, 3-2 on Sept. 14. H wever, each of Pacific's conference victories have come in five sets and it was swept aside by PLU and UPS.

5. Lewis and Clark Pioneers 6-9, 2-4 tie for fifth place

The Pioneers lost their first four matches but are on a mini two-match winning streak 2. Puget Sound 1 1 -4, 5-2 after defeating Whitworth and Whitman last weekend. The first place . Pioneers are .500 at home and The Loggers are currently on a neutral site. Road games

6. Linfield Wildcats 7-7, 2-4 tie for fifth place

The Wildcats played better than their no. 6 ranking in non conference action going 5-2 but Linfield has been the victim of a brutal schedule to open NWC play. The Wildcats have already played Puget Sound, Pacific Lulh ran, Pacific and G orge Fox, dropping all four matches. Liniiel d is in the midst of a five-match skid.

7. Whitworth Pirate 5-8, 1 -5 tie for eighth place How the mighty have fallen. the winning After conference championship the past two seasons the Pirates are already out of the playoff picture.

The types of bikes taken

mainly "mountain bikes or crossovers one crul er and one BMX," were varied,

rep rted slolen Wilgus said. None were registered with Pacific Lutheran University. All of the bikes were reported stolen from different

localions on campus and each of the five bikes had been secured with a cable lock. "The cable locks had been

cut and as far as we can telt each [theft] occurred during dayl ight hours," Wilgus said. Students sh uld "avoid cable locks," Wilgus said . Wilgus recommends studen ts use case hardened steel or U locks, as they "are harder to get through." Any o n e can purchase U locks at a varie ty of businesses from sports stores to Walmart.

Feminist Student Union gets 'Fresh, '

Tabling event asks students to take off their makeup, feel beautiful

Ta lor Lunka WRITER.

hmkatn@plu.edu

Feminist Student Union members together joined to show they do nol think women need makeup to feel beautiful. On Oct. 5, the Feminist Student nion (FSU ) tab led in the Anderson Uni versi ty Center Friday afternoon selling t-shirts and asking students t o take off their makeup and write down why th y are beautiful on signs. Stud ts and staff wer photographed wi th thea " I love my fresh face because . . . " signs and the p ictures a re posted on the F minist Student Union's Facebook page. Students wrote a range of reasons, from "my sense of humor" to "my collection of books." TIle signs will be put into a c llage and hung in the Women's Center. The day, dubbed "Fresh Friday," was an a F ce idea the FSU chose from http ://www · website the missrepresentation.org/ . The site describes a social action campaign inhonorof the film "Mis Representation," a docum ntary that cha l lenges some of the portrayals media. of women in th According La the site, the campaign's mission is to hift p eop l e s consciousness, IllSpire and indivi dual '

th e ir

wants students to know that the valu of a per on "d oesn't lie in their appearance." Ewton said she thinks a person' s val ue li lies in their personality o r their inte lli gence" an d iliere is no need to wear makeup all of the time. Th FSU wants studen ts to reflect on th e w ay the media views beauty because it has a huge affect on the way people see themselves, Ewton said. Senior Nina H artsel, a member of the FSU who participated in Fresh Face Friday, said she "refuses to let the media define who I am." "I want my friends, family and community to know they are beau tiful and precious even if they don't fit a narrow, air brushed ideal, " H artsel said. "I want to mange the way beauty is defined in our society . I t should b e a celebration of health, diversity, joy, love, community and the miracle that is living." By taking a day to g aga i nst the me d ia 's messages and removing their makeu p, " women are empowered to define beau y in whatever way is real and honest to them, " H artsel sai d . Junior Kortney Scroger, co-Ie der of the FSU, said the pu rpo e o f Fresh 'ace Friday

is made up of two parts. TIle first is to simpl y app reci a te beauty and recognize th that veryone posse ses. TIle second is to shine light on how media depicts beauty, Scroger said. The campaign's purpose is nol to tell people that makeup is bad . The FSU j ust wants people l feel beautiful without it, Ewton said. Scroger said th at Fresh F a ce Friday is a refl c.tion of the FSU becaus it "promotes acceptance." "The fact that all w men are be a utifu l, all people are beautiful, unique an d equal. FSU seeks to promote equality, raise consciousness and to uplift spirits," Scroger said. The FSU will help the Women's Center host the event "Love Your Body D ay" on Oct. 17. It will take place in the Anderson University Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include a "Be(YOU) titul" runway show plus other activities to help students with their self confidence.

"It's about loving who you

are and not what other peopl think about you," Ewton said

Facebook to determine who can take the "most creative photo with their shirt" and the winner will get a prize. Contact the FSU at fsu@pl u . edu for any questions or if you are interested in joinin g the cl u b.

unn Exclui;ive press screening leaves columnist laughing in theface ofdanger Kelsey Mejlaender COPY EDITOR

mejlaekk@Plu.edu With Halloween just around the comer, a horror film seemed like the perfect way to spend an evening. The Tacoma Film Festival, which ran from Oct. 4- 1 1, gave the Australian movie "Crawl" its Washington state premiere last week. I was invited to preview the film. Horror, however, never made an appearance, allowing hilarity to steal the stage instead. The film focuses on waitress Marilyn Bums, portrayed by actress Lauren Dillon. Bums is taken hostage in her horne by a killer, played by George Shevtsov, who has a love for cowboy hats. She's waiting for her boyfriend to visit at the time, not knowing his car has broken down. The villain is a contract killer who ac 'dentally hits the stranded boyfriend with his car and

later kills him. The murderer then becomes obsessed with finding a new ride, since the accident totaled his car. He breaks into

Marilyn's house looking for keys to her motorbike. The film was confusing because few of the killer's actions add up and the premise is heavily based on coincidence and chance. The story is set in Au s t r a l i a , so there were at least some cool accents, even if it did make running a couple the of characters' mumblings even more incoherent. is As typical in horror films, Marilyn's house is in the middle of nowhere, so she can't run to the neighbors for hel p . The deadliest feature o f this film was its pacing. It was a bit like watching a movie in slow motion. In this regard, the film

was aptly named. Other than that, the title "Crawl" made little sense, as there were only a few " crawling" scenes, none of which mattered and seemed like they were included simply

nothing to plot or character development, both of which could've used a boost. In one case, Marilyn's friend drops a cake off at her house, not knowing Marilyn has already been taken hostage. cake The is later stepped on - and that's it. The friend isn't cap tured, theme of the film was 'pointless d o e s n ' t r e a l i z e things happen. ' Marilyn' s stuck in her house with a mediocre m u r de r e r , nor does cake the trip up that murderer later.

characters is pretty much a requirement of the horror genre at this point, Marilyn Burns seemed particularly dim. She has a gun upstairs in a drawer, a fact she seems to forget as she creeps around her house at a snail's pace thinking she heard something. This might be forgivable, except it happens twice, so you'd think she'd be smart enough to grab the gun the second time around. Even the villain lacked brains, not to mention any facial expression. A stone faced killer could be terrifying, but this guy just looked like he had one too many shots of Botox. To top it all off, the music was rather ridiculous. It pretty much consisted of three chords that were played over and over again. This movie's a laugh to see with friends when you're in the mood to chat more than watch. But d on't trap yourself in a theater to see this one. That would be the real horror experience.

GUEST WRITER

In past years, someone vvaIkU1g be�d Eastvold Auditorium might hear a music student practicing through an open win ovv in the voice studios. Such surp rises can no longer be hea rd as the voice studios, previously in Eastvold, have been moved to Trinity Lutheran Church to make vvay for the construction taking place in Eastvold. The voice studios moved from Eastvold to Trinity Church in January to prepare two of phas fOT the construction on Eastvold. Senior lecturer LeeAnne Campos said the move went very smoothly. "I don't miss the old studios at all, " Campos said. "The rooms ar:e bigger than our spaces in Eastvold and are more comfortable," Campos said. "Since so many of the part-time music faculty are novv teaching in the same general area, vve get to see each other more often." Overall response to the

has

been positive. Megan Zink, who had never practiced in the old Eastvold studios, say she actually prefers that the studios are at Trinity. "The comm unity there [at Trinity] is very welcoming," Zink said.

sailing away on multip le high n tes it can get very distracting!" she added. Hovv ver, "it isn't a horrible situation. In fact, it's kind of fun, listening to vvhat everyone else is doing." Another concern for some is the distance from campus. While Trinity is only about a block from campus, it is much further from Mary Baker Russell Music Center than Eastvol d is. "M st f my students are music majors, so they spend most of their time in MBR," Campos said. "It's q uite a long vvalk an there vvere a couple of stormy days last spring vvhen mv students arrived vv�t and cold." The move to Trinity is permanent, at least at this stage. Renovations in Eastvold vvill continue illltil 2013, transforming the building into the Karen Hille Phillips Center for Performing Arts. The center vvill contain the already completed studio theater and scene shop, as vvell as 630 nevv seats for the auditorium, elevator access to all floors and an art gallery in the main lobby.

The bill

ASPLU Senate Bill 2 will set asid man y and planning efforts to host th first PLU "Community Dialogue Day:' a panel dialogu focused on the Lutedome, PLU ' s pl ace in the Parkland commu nity and, most notably, the use of the phrase 'Parkland youth' - more commonly known by the acronym 'PY.' The bill was initially proposed by PLU senior Chelsea Paulsen as part of her senior project for conflict resolution, ASPLU Public Relations Director Hillary Powell said. Since the bill's inception, ASPLU has assumed responsibility for the event, utilizing Paulsen as a resource. The event, slated for mid- to late N vember, will bring together PLU staff and students, associated student body members from Washington High School as well as the Washington H.5. principal to discuss PLU's relationship with the Parkland community and how PLU can be a more welcoming environment for Parkland community members, Ian Metz, ASPLU president, said. And at the forefront of ASPLU's Community Dialogue Day is the dissolutio of the term 'PY.'

The battle

While the m ajorily of PLU community members who have voiced opinions on Sena te Bill 2 h ave e pressed su ppoTl for the measu re, some students have expressed disapproval over ASPLU's plan, sp cificaUy the $1,000 set aside t host it. ''It [$1,000] se ms really bi g to me," junior Jessica Welch said. Senior Jeff Tolman echoe Welch's opinion, sayin tha t $1,000 "is quite a bit of money" to bring com m unity members to the universlty for an

event, especially when the event will be most beneficial to those community members. Tolman said he thought the essence of ASPLU's Communi ty Dialogue Day was "a good idea," bu t he d'd noL think the event "will be helpful" for the PLU community. "PLU can improve our outreach programs," Tolman said. "But PLU needs internal improvements . . . the main priority right now should be PLU focusing on itself." Melz argue the event is mutually beneficial for both the PLU and Parkland communities - PLU will become a stronger part of Parkland and Parkland residents will feel more welcomed by PLU, he said. AdditionalIy, Metz said the "majority of the student body doesn't think it [the term Lutedome] is a good thing." StilI, there are students like Tolman who hold a contrary view. "There is a little bit of justification with 'Lutedome,'" Tolman said, citing the price of PLU tuition as a valid reason for PLU students to feel they are a part of a private community. Tolman did not say, however, that he supported any social boundary between PLU and the community. "I just don't think we should be spending money to host something like this," he said. But M tz st ad by the use of student p rogrammin g funds, affirming "this is a chance to spend money on som�thing meaningful." Me1z said he and his colle agu es in ASPLU wer concerned with PLU's appearance t the Parkland comm unity, particularly that co mmunity members "don't nefe sarily feel welcome" on the P L U campus. Opposi tion to the bill came as a surpris to Metz, who said he encourages oppose shld en s "to look at the p 'vilege they enj y" as students of a private university. "I d n't think it's fai to limit that to

people who don't have the privilege to attend here," Metz said. As for the funding, the $1,000 is set aside to provide meals for the invit community members a Metz, a certified dialogue facilitat r, said comfort is paramount to pen ialogue, He also stressed the $ 1 ,000 in ASPLU funds is simply a bu dget cap for the project, and that he does not bel iev the event will cost anywhere near that cap. Senate Bill 2 was tabled last Tuesday, but Metz said he expects the bill to pass in senate next Tuesd ay, Oct. 16 "with unanimous support." He invited any students with questions or concerns to contact ASPLU online or in person.

Woman moderator still asked to stay in the past

Kelsey Hilmes OPINION EDITOR

hilme kl@plu.edu

Not once in my lifetime has a woman moderated presidential a debate. This sobering reality was spotlighted in the media this summer as three high school students petitioned on http:// change.org! for a woman moderator in the 2012 election debates. Imagine the empowerment young women felt in August the Commission when Debates Presidential on selected CNN's chief po . tical Candy correspondent Crowley as moderator. It was an achievement well overdue. The last - and only - woman to ever host a presidential debate was 1992's Carole Simpson. In a frustrating election brimming with Planned Parenthood cuts, panels entirely of men debating birth control in Congress and cries of a "war on women," a woman moderator is perfectly appropriate. It's a shame her voice won't actually matter. incred 'ble the Picture disappointment of the three young women, the 122,344 voters who signed their petition and myself when we discovered that Crowley woul d n t be asking her own questions at the debate. Rather, Crowley wil l be hosting a "tow meeting style" debate, holding the

counterparts ask candidates questions face to face and man to man, Crowley serves in this debate as nothing more than a vessel for the queries of a lesser educated audience. I suppose we should have seen it coming. In the 1 992 debate, Simpson, the fir t female and black to moderate, was also the first person to moderate a town hall debate. It seems an unlikely coincidence that the town hall debate was introduced at the exact same time as women moderators. In an article for The Atlantic, Simpson recalled tl1at she was repeatedly told her debate would be an 'Oprah style' show. The audience members asked the questions, while a voice in her ear-piece told her who to take questions from. Crowley will inevitably operate under the same limitations. By marginalizing Crowley and limiting her influence in the debate, we have lost the opportunity to present young women with a role model in politics. Even worse, three young women and all who petitioned were told their voices matter just as little as Crowley's does. It's not hard to see why Crowley was given such an unimportan t role. The problem lies with the sixteen men and one woman on the Commission on Presidential Debates, who choose the moderators and the roles they will play. It lies in a 2012 study of politics in the media, which states that men are quoted five times more often than women about 'women's issues.' It lies in an apathetic country tha forgot to care until three high school studentS reminded it to. On Oct.. 16, I will a cept the stunted victory women have been given and tune in to watch the debate. 1 only hope that by 201 6, 1 will see � woman ca lling the shots at a m ajor presidential debate.

shoupnu@Plu.edu The Paonc Lutheran soccer

programs are on the verge of doing something they haven't done in even years. TIle last time both the men and wo men's prol?fams finished in the top fo ur lD th e Northwest Conference was in 2005. That year the men's team finished fourth and the women finished th.i rd. The men have not finished out of the t p four in the NWC since 2002 when they finished sixth. After a fifth place finish in 2006, the women have alternated between sixth and seventh place finishes yearly. The women are currently riding a mini two-game win streak and have only lost one of their 10 matches this season. They currently sit in fourth place in the NWC at 4-1-5, 2-1-

The men have won five of their seven conference mafches and sit in second place in the NWC at 6-4-2, 5-1-

fIowever, conference always standings don' t accura tely Tank teams. For that reason I'm ranking the NWC men's and women' soccer teams as promised last week. As always - ladies first.

The Wildcats are currently

third place, but that is mislea din g . At 9-1-2, 5-1-2 the lone loss for Unfield came in a 1-0 d e cisi on to con ference leader, Puget SOund . Red-shirt junior forward Emily Fellows is undoubtedly the best player ill the c nference. F Haws leads the

conference with 12 goa ls, 26 points and 93 shots. The next highest number of shots in the conference is 39.

2. Pug�t Sound, first placelie The NWC championship trophy has made the Puget Sound campus home. The Loggers have won the N WC the lasl 10 seas ns. The Loggers are current1y 7-3-1, 6-1-1 but have eased their grip over the NWC. Puget Sound has two narrow 1-0 victories over a mediocre Pacific Boxer team and over a one-win George Fox team.

3. Whitworth, place tie

At 6-5-1, 6-1-1, the Pirates played horribly in non c nference but rebounded in their conference portion of the season. The Pirates triumphed in onl y one of their past three matches.

6. Pacific, sixth place Owning a record of 5-4-3, 3-4-1, the Boxers have had a tough time deciding if they enjoy winning, losing or tying games this season. The Boxers are one point behind the Pioneers and Lutes for fourth place but have lost three of their last four matches.

7. Whitman, eighth place The Missionaries are currently 3-8- 1, 2-5-1 . Thei r 1-0 victory over Willamette put them ahead of the Bearcats at n o. 7.

Approximately 250 fifth Pacific graders invaded Lutheran University on Tuesday for the Parkland Education Project Tour Day. Students from Brookdale, Christensen and James Sales elementary schools came to PLU for a day of fun and learning. The field trip is part of the Compass to Campus program. This program originated on the University

of Wisconsin's Green Bay campus as a way to reach out to at-risk youth and the surrounding communities. After the program spread to Western Washington PLU and University, Franklin=Pierce School district decided the program would be an effective way to create a more coordinated bond between the communities here as well. In the program, college students visit nearby schools with large populations of fifth graders

who may belong to a group that has been traditionally and underrepresented disadvantaged. PLU students then encourage them to attend high school and eventually college. PLU's School of Education, the Franklin Pierce School District and the Center for Community PROSPECTS CONTINUED PAGE 4

The main characters are Emily Webb and George Gibbs, played by senior Myia Johnson and first-year Michael Krenning respectively. In the first act titled Daily Life, the audience is introduced to the small lown's quirks and perks. Love and Marriage, the second act, follows th romance between Emily and George, while the third act, Death, deals with loss. Ibroughout the play, the Stage Manager, played by Evan Hildebrand, addresses the audience pen1y, repeatedly breaking down th fourth wall and directing chara ters to speak to tl"le audience. It's not overdone and is often hilariously appropriate. At the end of act one, he tells the audience it's time for intenni sion and they can "go off ampus and smoke now." This is one of many w ys in which the play demonstrates its unique flair. Lori Lee Wallace writes in her 'Note from the Director' that the play bucks traditional genres a d is "deceptively subtle."

In the first act, the only sets are two ladders and two tables with a few chairs each. Later acts take away more set pieces than they add.

The limited sets allow the audience to focus on the cast's performance, a truly enj yable experience. A hysterical piece in act one involved the Stage Mal1ager intr d ueing a professor to explain basics facts about "our town." However, poor Professor Willard, brilliantly portrayed by Avelon R goonanan, is so nervous to speak that he shakes violently, stutters and gives the Stage Manager terrified wide-eyed looks as he tries to escape the attention.

distant "better life." Rain patt ring on a tin r oof, weekly bucket b a ths, concrete latrines and c oking in a wooden 51 ack made m y months living i n Oaxaca, Mexico feel like an intense cam ping trip. For me, life in Tierra Blanca . - a ty in Oaxaca state Wlth a p opu lation of UO - was a dramatic change in pace, hygiene and di t.

Dissecting Dialogue Day:

Editors discuss newly passed ASPLU bill

Stop stigma towards the community

Ben Quinn POOTO EDITOR

quinnbj@Plu.edu Stigma is a funny word.

A stigma was once a mark,

tattoo or branding forcibly applied to the skin of a criminal or outcast to display theiT pariah status - in ancient Greece, don't worry. If you are a Christian, then you may have heard this word before in the form of "stigmata," the holes in each of Jesus' hands where he was nailed to the cross. Hester Prynne had a stigma in "The Scarlet Letter." So did Harry Potter. Erving Goffman, one of the giants in sociology, described a stigma as symbolic - visual or otherwise - denoting a social failing or the idea that one has a "spoiled identity." We know, through

socialization, avoid to someone with a stigma. He or she is not to be trusted . That person is "them." How do we keep them out? By building a dome. Here at PLU, our dome is the Lutedome. Our "them" is the Parkland Youth. When you build a dome, each brick must be uniform. No jagged surfaces, no cracks, no signs that tell a story of how that brick was created or how it got in the wall. Think about that brick for a moment. Now think about a member of the Parkland Youth (PY). What does he or she look like? They keyed your car, didn't they? Clipped your bike lock? Maybe they robbed a nearby convenience store? It doesn't matter what they did, because each member of the PY shares each other's crimes. We use a template of these people's life story - their actions, their demeanor - to build a wall, with each piece as uniform as a brick. We can't leave the Dome because they line it - each with their similar crimes and their featureless faces. Each

spoiled. to The first step mass stigmatization is dehumanization. We're really good at that. But exactly who the Parkland Youth are is less clear. Are they the youth who live in Parkland, or are they just those "hooded thugs" who broke into the house next door? Are you willing to

surprise you: I don't support "Community Dialogue Da y ." bridge Establishing a between us, in all of our indebted glory, and "them," for he purpose of trying to stop calling them "them," and to foster greater acceptance of our institution in the Parkland community, cannot happen with just one dialogue. Put it in perspective. A grand is just a drop in the bucket of running a college - we each pay $300 per day for each class here - but it is still too much for one dialogue. Effective communication is an ongoing process. You can't reconcile your differences in a day. Go out into the community. Don't be afraid to talk to people out on the streets of Parkland. Learn their names and their stories. You11 soon find that they don't share each other's crimes. They compete in a daily struggle just like we do. We can't break down the Lutedome in one fell swoop. Only by removing one brick at a time will PLU find its place in the community.

Effective co mmunication is an ongoing process.

deny them their agency, their life stories or their humanity, for the sake of keeping some of them out? Take a look in the mirror. We are a population of students who can only cite "the high price ofPLU tuition" as a reason for keeping others out of a community - a community that supposedly prides itself on diversity. I guess "they" stole six bikes last year. With that in mind, I'm going to say something that might

developed. The idea is fille d with great

in tentions, but unfortunately the issues su rrounding the adoption of the "PY" label are more complex than a bill can

fix.

According to the Pierce County Sheriff's department, there were 483 crimes within a half mile rad iu s of Ting)estad la t year. That included 244

property crimes, 1 14 motor vehicle thefts and 22 violent assaults. As much as Campus Safety would like us to think otherwise, Parkland is not a particularly safe place. We do have an open campus, but actively promoting non to students PLU use our campus is questionable. We can not escape the truth that some of Pierce County's crime will spread onto campus if we significantly increase the integration between PLU's campus and the surrounding area. Tru t!'LfuUy, the idea of careful integration with the surrounding community is great, but in its cu rrent f rm, the legtslation supposedly meant to help address that is far from even good . Beginning as senior Chelsea Paulsen's capstone project, ASPLU beard tIle idea of a Community Dialogue Day and ran with it. Washington High School students, staff and members of surrounding neighborhoods will meet with ASPLU President Ian Metz, members of ASPL U and PLU tudents and staff. This is all

great until we realize we are spending $1,000 of student tuition money. First, the overwhelming majority of high school student governments are made up of the movers and shakers, not the individuals

the bill started as Paulsen's capstone. Paulsen will still get capstone credit for it. Eva Johnson, the be-all and end-all for ASPLU's parent organization, not to mention dean for student developmentptronglymmmented against unwittingly setting a precedent that ASPLU funds student Capstones at in the meeting on Sept. 25. This comment was not addressed and Metz quickly moved the bill to a later committee. Senate Bill 2 is a textbook example of a good idea gone wrong. PLU needs to work on community in olvem en t and we mus t not forget our mission statement. While there are many ways to do this, Mr. Metz, thJs is not one of them . Too ma ny questions still exist about the relationsh ip between tlus legislation and Paulsen's Capstone, and if this is a precedent that should be set. Senator Tho ma Kim said that they needed to cli....ClI_S whether this was something students wanted their mone\' being , pent on. I'm a student. No.

After Samantha North, the 2011 AVCA West region freshman of the year, went down wi th a knee injury during warm-ups, senior Brianne Vincent was thrust into the starting role. Vincent pl ayed a pivotal role in the match, racking up 37 assist , 2 solo blocks and 5 block assists. Haley Urdahl also had a huge game, acquiring a career-high with 18 kins as

Saturday will m ark the 87th mat hup for Tacoma supremacy between the Pacific Lutheran and Puget Sound football programs. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. at Peyton Field at Baker Stadium, the Logger s home field. Lutes enter the The weekend after beating no. 19 Willamette, 41-27, in the biggest win of the season. The PLU-UPSrivalry was once significant enough to be played in the former Kingdome in 1977 and 1978 . Later, it moved to th Tacoma Dome in 1 983 where the schools played until 1993, w i th the exception of the 1991 season. However, the rivalry has lost glamour since the early 1 980s simply because of the Lutes' dominance over the Loggers. The l.utes are 26-3 against the Loggers since 1 983 and have won 23 of the last 24 meeting with the L ogger The Logger!; last beat the Lutes in 2005, 23-13, at Spark Stadium . The Lutes finjshed 3-6 that season. Puget Sound picked off Lute::>' quarterback Chris Maine fOUT times that game but needed a late third quarter and early fourth quarter touchdown to sneak pa t the Lute . outscored L utes The the Loggers 171-91 in the subsequent six games. .

2012

Last week, the Loggers fell to Whitworth in Spokane 70-1 1 yes, 70. Th Loggers went into the locker Toom at h lftime trailing 49-0. Itis the third straight sea son th Loggers have given up 68 points or more in a single game. Last season the Loggers gave up 73 points to Linfield. The Loggers are being outscored this season by an average score of nearly 54-23. In six games this season, the Loggers held their opponent W1der 55 points nee. That came in a 30-7 thumping handed by Sewanee. Sewanee is a NCAA Div. ill university in Tennessee and is 3-5 this season. In Puget Sound's last game before the Whitworth disaster, the Logger were ern hed 6221 by Pacific - at home The gam stands as the lone conference victory for the 2-4 Pacific Boxers.

Loggers

Down seasons are a p art of sports. They happen. Calling the 2012 Loggers season a bad season . would be a compliment. The Loggers are 0-6 and have not won a game since the second-to-last ganle of the 2010 season. Puget Sound finished 0-9 last year.

The Mast Monday Night Football pick 'em league picked games last week despite the fact that The Mooring Mast did not run . In anti-climactic fashion, everyone correctly picked Chicago over Detroit, so there was no change in the standings. This week features a tougher decision: the 5-2 San Francisco 4gers travel to the desert to play the 4-3 Arizona Cardinals. leader, league Our Gutierrez, was so perplexed he waited until the last possible minute to submit his pick. In other news, I warned you once, I warned you twice, but I'm renaming The Mast Monday Night Football pick 'em league. Are you ready? The Post-Sunday Society. Boom.

' em

The Post-Sunday Society standings could shuffle for the first time in a month if Arizona wins Monday. Loomis would leapfrog Gutierrez. It would be the first time this season a name other than Gutierrez would sit atop the standings. . If San Francisco wins, Ritchey will have a winning record for the first time th i s season and Dickerson, H gensen and McDaniel would be tied for second place at 5-2. ickoff is at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

game. The Lu tes are scoring over 31 p oin t s per game. On the d fensive si of the ball, the Lutes have the second best scoring defense in the conference, allowing 24.3 points per game. And the Lutes have forced a conference leading 23 turnovers this seas n.

Why the Logger will win... The Loggers defense is allowed to play with 13 p layers. Puget Sound has been dreadful on the defense side of the ball, allowing more than 560 yards per game including more than 306 rushing yar s. The Loggers will need to put together its best defensive effort in the p a s t few years to quiet the L u te trio of Ritchey, James and Warner. While the Loggers' defense has been regrettable, their offense has been respectable. Averaging 308 passing yards per game, the Loggers own the second-best passing attack in the onference However, they have also thrown a conference leading 15 interceptions. '

Prediction

In the last three games, the Lu tes have scored 3 1 points, 41 points and 4J points. With the offense die ing, the Lutes will have their highest scoring output of the season. The Lutes will avoid a letdown alter a huge win Saturday and will push their winning streak over Puget Sound to seven games in a con incing victory. Falling behind early, Puget Sound will rely solely on their passing game and will manage to put a few points on the board.

The pressure is starting to mount ior Gutierrez. He is one incorrect pick away from losing his spot in first place. As for Gutierrez's hair, he wasn't sure how to pick this week, receiving zero compliments. As a Seahawks' fan, Loomis would prefer that both teams lose, but NFL rules prevent that from happening. A tie is always possible though.

Whitworth lead s the conferen ce with 29 points and an i mpressi ve record of 9-0-2. In ord er for PLU to obtain first pla ce in the Northwest Conference, Whitworth

The Wildcats of Linfield were able to take ad van tage of several miscues by the Lutes in order to score two goals in the opening 26 minutes. Linfield's first goal was scored by Tyler Sedla cek, his third goal of the season. Sedla cek scored off a de flectio n from his tea mmate, first-year sensation Domenico Del P re te .

Ritchey ran for three touchdowns and completed 16 passes on 28 attempts for 1 95 yards and targeted sophomore wide receiver Kyle Warner for a 17-yard touchdown. He also made connections with six other receivers during the game.

Hilliker will be implemented in the offense with the loss of Westering. Ritchey ran the ball 14 times for yards 64 and junior running back B r a n d o n James had carries 12 for 47 yards.

The shifty defender was able to elude tacklers and return the take-a-way 80 yards for a Pacific Lutheran touchdown. The senior now has 5 interceptions on the season. a "With offense talented like that, you know they are going to make plays," sophomore free safety Greg said. Hibbard The "thing is to make them one dimensional and take away their run game, which takes away their ability to set up the pass and we were able to accomplish that in an all around def nsive effort." Hibbard had a team high of 9 tackles on defense. The win for the Lu tes earned them second place, behind Linfield. in the Northw t Confe� nee.

The Sojourner advocates encourage students to explore, evaluate and apply. Stuart offers multiple students ways to explore the study away options by attending a 1 01 session or stopping by the Wang Center to get information and look at the available brochures. Jung and Stuart recommended that students email them or one of the other two Sojourner advocates, Jennie Greb and Kenny Stancil to "narrow down program options." this During process, students need to meet with their academic adviser to make sure they are " on time and on track with their major," Jung said. If help is needed with program options, meeting with a study away adviser will help students get started with the

process, Jung said. Anna Loose, a first year student, said she thinks "nothing quite offers the same global perspective as actually being put into a different culture and foreign environment." She said studying away "puts the concepts you learn in the classroom into life and helps you apply those classroom concepts into the real world." The application process for study away depends on the program. Stuart said most require programs application, an transcript, personal statement and faculty recommendations. The next deadline is March 15 for students who want to study away anytime the in 2013-2014 school year. The J-term 2014 deadline is April 12. To research available programs and locations, meet with a study away adviser in the Wang Center.

Dining services replaces broken conveyor part Valery Jorgensen GUEST WRITER

jorgenvl@plu.edu As lines formed to drop off dishes, frustration grew in the Commons. After 1 1 days, the accumulator - a mechanical system that conveys dishes to the kitchen - has been fixed. The accumulator broke on Oct. 19. Director of dining and culinary services Erin McGinnis oversaw the repair. When the part broke, a technician from 3 Wire - a company that specializes in food and beverage service parts - came to campus. He found a broken chain driver, a part that allows the accumulator to continuously rotate. A lack of clear communication resulted in delivery delays and a disgruntled dining services. After students dined, they waited in line to scrape food plates, dump liquids and stack dishes. McGinnis SSid students were inconvenienced and that she shares their irritation. "We are really, really frustrated with them [3 Wire] as a service provider," McGinnis said. The delayed repair also disrupted employees who had to leave the dishwashing station to assist students in emptying dishes. By Oct. 26, the part had been ordered but not delivered. 3 Wire told dining services it would be in by Monday. The part arrived and was fixed on Tuesday, allowing the dining hall to return to normal. McGinnis said the accumulator was installed in 2004 and has a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years. To avoid this happening again, McGinnis said dining services will look into keeping spare parts on hand for future repairs. Dining services said it hopeďż˝ to avoid further mishaps.

Do not even glance at the next sentence if you intend to play "Assassin's Creed m" and didn't go to the midnight release Monday night and devote 11 hours to it in two days like I did. It was Tuesday afternoon, and I was attempting to squeeze a few hours of gaming in before my night of commitments commenced. My friend, an avid "Assassin's Creed" fan who had yet to start his game, was sitting on my bed, watching as he had done six hours the night before. dropped jaws Our simultaneously. Ubisoft blew us away with one incredible plot twist. Before playing as the advertised Connor, a Native Americanand the last character in Desmond Miles' ancestral journey through the assassin order, the game has you play as Haytham Kenway, an upper-class British aristocrat who boards passage to the colonies in search of a shrine left behind by "those who came before." As Kenway, you assassinate several targets the game very clearly presents as 'bad' characters, and you are enthralled by Kenway's charm and solid moral compass. Then your world is turned upside down. Kenway? He's a templar. That's right - you've been killing assassins, and Desmond is just as shocked to find out. Kenway's gameplay dramatically ends there, and

Well-played, Ubisoft. In terms of the actual gameplay, ACm is a little hit-and-miss. There are some incredible additions to the feel of the game,

don't knock it if you can't rock it. Once I got past my honeymoon with ACm, I did begin to notice some subtle changes in the gameplay that I don't wholeheartedly support.

No more light jogging out of an awkward accidental civilian assassination. What ACm lacks in control depth, it more than makes up for in eye candy. The landscape is beautiful and, dare I say, even comparable to one of Bethesda's "Elder Scrolls" games. The best part: Connor can free-climb trees. I know it seems like a given, but I can't begin to communicate how many times I yelled at Ezio and AltaIr, our previous assassins, for falling over when they bumped into a tree. I'm sorry, you can free-climb the Sistine Chapel but you can't climb a d--- tree? Thanks for fixing that, Ubisoft. Egg and your face were certainly in alignment for a while. Overall, the game is incredible and everything we had hoped for. Now I just have to finish it before Dec. 21 .

Columnist rates: including an over-theshoulder camera angle that makes free-running through the streets of colonial Boston truly exhilarating. I like to play a little epic background music to enhance the chase. My

suggestion: the theme song from the 1960 hit "The Magnificent Seven." Try it out before you judge me, and

second set of options with the right trigger. The kill cameras are incredible, but the incredibly linear fighting style gets old fast, and doesn't offer as much player engagement as the previous four installments of the Assassin's Creed series.

Bookstands set for takeover of top teen literary titans Kelsey Mejlaender COPY EDITOR

mejlaekk@Plu.edu

The recent big-screen explosion of "The Hunger Games" and the tween-driven success of the almost complete "'TWilight Saga" have made a lot of story lovers wonder what's next. Whether you're a fan of apples or arrows, it's impossible to deny both of these novels-tunled-movies are incredibly popular and profitable. Since moviemakers are now raiding their teens' bookcases for inspiration, it's interesting to wonder which one will strike box-office gold next. "Beautiful Creatures:" the next "Twilight?" Like its sparkly vampires "Beautiful predecessor, Creatures" is a supernatural love story. Written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the book was released in

December 2009. It follows protagonist Ethan Wate as he becomes intrigued by the mysterious Lena Duchannes. Lena is a Caster - essentially a witch whose powers will be claimed for either the light or the dark when she turns 16. There are many similarities to "Twilight," from the small town setting to the hints the supernatural half of the couple may be dangerous. Despite the male protagonist, this does not seem like the type of book guys would read, or at least admit to reading. The unwavering devotion Ethan gives Lena and the way his world revolves around her is just one shade short of the drug addict-like relationship of Edward and Bella. Not to mention Ethan is constantly complaining about his small town - yet another unpleasant Bella characteristic. Overall the book was underwhelming and dragged

on far too long at over 500 pages. With the tepid beginning - I had to force myself to continue - and some shaky loopholes, the book was nothing extraordinary. Then again, "Twilight" is no literary masterpiece and its bringing in buckets of money. Admittedly, the movie trailer looks intriguing. The film's best hop e for actual quality is the stellar supporting cast. Oscar award winning actresses Emma Thompson from Harry Potter and Viola Davis from "The Help" both have roles. Even skilled actors can't always save a weak plot, however. Whiny protagonist check. Bad writing - check. Phenomenally popular box office hit - let's hope not. "Diver�nt:" the next "Hunger Games?" With a dystopian setting, youthful competition and a strong female lead,

"Divergent" is reminiscent of "The Hunger Games." The book was written by Veronica Roth and published in May 2011. The plot centers on Tris Prior, who lives in a city where everyone is divided into five factions. At age 16, the citizens take a test that determines which faction fits them best. Tris' test results are inconclusive, proving she is actually Divergent and a threat to the society. Leaving the faction she was born in, Abnegation, she chooses to become an initiate of Dauntless. But the secret she harbors haunts her, putting her life at risk. Similarly to "The Hunger Cames," this novel is written in the present tense and involves quick-paced action and violence. The characters must undergo an initiation process to become members of their faction, which pits the 16�year-olds against each

other in a Hunger Games like style. However, the book lacks the emotional depth of "The Hunger Games" and sometimes feels too rushed. Still, it was enjoyable and definitely a must for fans of the dystopian genre. The "Divergent" movie is still in pre-production, but should arrive in theaters in March 2014. It's rumored Shailene Woodley from "The Descendants" will play Tris and Alexander Ludwig, who played Cato in "The Hunger Games," hopes to portray Tris' love interest. Though the book contains many of the flashy exterior elements of "The Hunger Games," its failure to forge a deep emotional connection with readers may leave the movie's box office numbers flagging.

Documentary director shares untold immigration stories with PLU

Camille Adams GUEST WRITER

adamsce@Plu.edu The award-winning documentary, "The Other Side of Immigration," brought Pacific Lutheran University to students the border examining immigration from an array of perspectives. Creator of the film, Roy Germano, gave a presentation to various classes and students on Friday. His hour-long film was screened later that evening. The documentary is the winner of the 2009 Politics on Film Founder's Award. First year Anna Loose, an attendee of Germano's presentation, said, "He was a great speaker who presented the information well and made you feel emotionally involved in the issue." His lecture focused on the trials and tribulations of crossing the U.S. border through the desert. The film, on the other hand, features interviews with members

Although the film proposed a change from within Mexico, during the question and answer session, Germano addressed ways Americans could make a difference. He said he believes that through policies like the DREAM Act, Americans can improve U.S. immigration policies by making citizenship more attainable to certain groups. He also stressed the importance of temporary work visas, explaining many Mexicans would prefer to alternately work in the U.S. and live in Mexico every six months. Germano currently works for One With Mexico, a non profit organization which sponsors development and educational programs in Mexico.

' Twilight ' reading sheds light on ome stic violence in pop culture Rachel Diebel AacE REPORTER

diebelra@Plu.edu Real life met the Hollywood silver screen Oct. 25 at the "Twilight" dramatic reading. Faculty took on the roles of Edward, Bella and Jacob in front of a crowd with about 50 students and staff. The dramatic reading was a fundraiser for the Women's Center. were Nominees announced several days beforehand, and students could pay a dollar to vote for which staff members they wanted to portray the leading characters for the reading held in the Cave. The Cave was decked out in black with stars hanging from the ceiling. There was a tent and sleeping bags to help set the stage for the scene they were performing, which takes place on the top of a mountain. Continuing with the "Twilight" theme, the Women's Center provided apples for the audience to munch on. Professors Neal Yakelis and Brenda Ihssen and Tingelstad Resident Director Carlos Solorzano portrayed Edward, Bell a and Jacob, respecti' ely. TI1ey perfonnecl two scenes from the "Twilig t" novels, complete with costumes and props. Yakelis donned fake fangs and glitter while Solorzano sported a fake tattoo and a wig. The scenes were

chosen because they were intended to reveal the inequitable nature of Edward, Bella and Jacob's relationships. purpose The of the event was to raise awareness of domestic violence in pop culture. To demonstrate this, attendees were asked to shout "red flag" and "bad wolf" whenever Edward or Jacob said something controlling. After the readings, a video outlined 15 of signs domestic violence. Following each description of domestic violence, a scene from one of the "Twilight" movies played. The film attributed all IS signs to Edward and Bella's relationship. A relationship only has to show one sign to qualify as abuse, according to the film. video, the After advocacy intern for the Women's Center Kelsey Greer led the staff panel in a discussion on the implications of domestic violence in pop culture. The panel included the three faculty actors pI s a few others who were nominated but not elected to play the roles. Greer posed questions such as, "If it's just a fantasy novel, what's the problem with showing a bad relationship?" Senior Nina Hartsel sees said she the relationships in books like "Twilight" as a negative influence on young girls in particular. "All chick lit for young girls is like

that," Harstel said. "It's bad because they don't know what relationships are supposed to look like yet, and 'Twilight' is not setting a good example." First-Year Becca Sunoo said, "I think it's really important to talk about stuff like this. It's not something people like to shine a light on." Faculty gave their opinions on "Twilight" and gender portrayals as well. "I was surprised by how the eroticism [in the film] is created through [Bella's] vulnerability," Professor Adela said Ramos, one of the staff members on the discussion panel. "I think it's really problematic that that's the case. It's troubling how it might be educating women to be vulnerable." But the most important question: team Neal or team Carlos?

Restaurants are jud ge d according to th complexity of the menu, how much raw food is used and how much food is co k<.>d in adv ance. This detemlines h w many inspections p r year are required. During this insp ec tion, there ate two types of violation : blu and red. Blue violations are low Ii k. Red violations are high risk an d can con tribu te to foodbome illnesses. Points are given o u t for differen t v iolations in each category . A follow-u p ins pection is req UITed when the total number of red points is greater than 35.

MANAGING NEWS EDITOR tr ndsjk@plu.edu

In this lovely, but stressful, span of time between midterms and finals, registering for new classes is probably the last thing on our minds. Yet - maybe due to timing alone - I can' t help but think the chance to start anew sounds wonderful As registration approaches, let's all be alert, safe and smart about the classes we choose. 1. Pay attention to the requirements of your major and do so early.

1 cam to Pacific Lutheran University 97 percent certain

I would be an English major. Because of that 3 percent hesitation, I dabbled in general education courses (gen-eds) like nobody's business and finished year one with only four English credits completed. And because life is funny, during my gen-ed meandering I decided to tack on a communication major and a women's and gender studies minor to my now declared English major. Now, I had a lot less room for wandering. Stay on track. Regardless of class standing, make sure you're working with an adviser or professOl: in picking classes. If you're a full-time student, take a full schedule. Another fantastic resource for course planning is the 'What-If Analysis' on BannerW b. Select a major or minor, and the program will show how close you are to completion based on classes you've already taken. Using this feature, I realized I'm only three classes away

Plan ahead IlIr class registration from turning my women's and gender studies minor into a major, should I want to reconfigure my degrees.

2. Pick at least one class you know without fail you will like.

I'm not athletic, but I love yog�. By taking the yoga PE class, not only will I gain one more PE credit, but I will also get to do something I love that I don't often have time for. Sign me up, please. Or pick a class taught by a professor you already like: YQU need something to look forward to, even if it's at 8 a.m. on Monday. Undeclared or undecided . Find something you think you might want to turn into a major, like another psychOlogy class, because you're enjoying 101 this semester.

3. Be flexible prepared.

and

Let's be real here: the yoga class is really popular. Even

with my junior standing, it may fill up before I can register. In all my registration experiences, I have never been able to sign up for everything I wanted exactly when I felt like taking it. This happens for a variety of reasons: two classes are offered at the same time, one class actually needs a prerequisite or I'm the 21st person trying to sign up for a class with 20 slots and no waitlist. To ensure no delays, take care of holds on your account, keep your access code handy and have back up classes in mind before registration. Know what else I love? Tenni . If yoga fills up, you bet I will be out on the courts next spring. Some degrees don't have the flexibility of my three programs. Make sure you have back-up courses in mind and are folfowing the path of your major with as few obstacles as possible. Plan ahead.

I'd like to bring your attention to a section of the Pacific Lutheran University 2020 plan, with regard to creating a diverse, just and sustainable community: "The university should articulate a clear understanding of PLU's aspirations as a diverse, just and sustainable learning community with a commitment to local, regional, national and global outreach and an ongoing commitment to a diverse learning community of faculty, staff and students." We believe that spending money - in this case a minute fraction of our operating budget - on community outreach is an excellent use of PLU funds. By supporting events such as Community Dialogue Day, we are involving students, faculty and members of the surrounding community in discussion about the future relationships between PLU and Parkland. It would cost a lot more than $1,000 to pick up the PLU campus and move it to a "safer" location. Parkland is where we live, and there is nothing to gain in the long term by isolating ourselves. Our best strategy is to create a better relationship with our neighbors. The only precedent we are setting is that ASPLU will do the work it takes to make PLU a better place for students. We are meeting long term goals for the university, and I believe that is an admirable use of tuition money.

Tacoma champions Football team bests Loggers, again Steven McGrain SPOIn'S WRITER

mcgraist@Plu.edu

The Lutes scored 35 unanswered points against Puget Sound Saturday en route to a 41-14 victory. The win spoiled the Loggers' homecoming and pushed the Lutes' winning streak over their cross-town foes to seven. "This team has done a remarkable job at truly competing against our best selves," senior captain Erik Hoium said. He added the goal every week is "to get better and compete at a higher level. With that as the constant goal, it's impossible to overlook anybody." The Loggers have not won a Northwest Conference game and have been outscored 368154 including Saturday's

loss to 1he Lutes. -

The quick-striking Pacific Lutheran offense did not find its rhythm until the second quarter. Each time the Loggers would score, the Lutes were quick to respond with a touchdown of their own. Sophomore quarterback Dalton Ritchey connected sophomore wide with receiver Kyle Warner for a 42-

I t is JUdgment day - the day when an entire season's worth of work is mea ured. All fall sports conclude their conference schedules this weekend with the exception of the cross country teams, which wrapped up th . r seas ns Saturday at the N orthwest Conferen e "Meet. Junior Alan DenA del finished second in the men' race. The football t m h sts Whitworth tomorrow aft:emo n before flying to California next weekend to play Menlo College in a non-conference matchup. The volleyball team concludes its regular season tonight, p laying fifth-place George Fox in Newberg, Ore. The men's soccer team travels to the other side of town tomorrow to play Puget Sound in its season finale. The women's soccer team will say cheers to its 2012 season after hosting Willamette tonight and playing at George Fox tomorrow. As grades are assigned, will the fall teams run home to show parents their report cards? Or will they "forget" their report cards, hoping their parents dionot realize it is the end of the semester?

Football, B+ The Lutes sit in second place in the NWC with a record of 5-2, 4-1, but a loss to Whitworth tomorrow could potentially drop the Lutes into a third-place tie. . Riding a four-game win streak, the Lutes receive a high B because of a difficult start. However, the 1-2 start to the season is more of a testament to the Lutes' strength of schedule. In week one, the Lutes fell 37-23 to California Lutheran University. The Kingsmen are 6-1 this season and ranked no. 8 in the country.

In week three, the Lutes suffered their last loss-ta-date, falling 31-24 to Linfield. The Wildcats are ranked no. 3 in the country a t 7-0. To receive an A, to win a conference championship and to play in the postseason, these were the games the Lutes needed to win. Ha Lutes defeated th California Lutheran, a strong case could be made for the Lutes to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Had the Lu es defeated Linfiel d, a win tomorrow would secure the NWC championship and guarantee the Lutes a playoff berth. But the two losses leave the Lutes on the outside looking in. B plus is a fitting grade for a 2012 team that was one victory away from greatness.

Volleyball, A The Lutes won their fifth conference title in seven seasons this year. Lutes volleyball has simply become a force in the NWC. The NCAA tournament looms for the Lutes, who have coasted through the 2012 season. However, the Lutes are 1-6 in the tournament since 2004, losing their last five matches. Last season, the Lutes owned a 2-1 lead over Occidental College of the Southern California Intercollegiate Conference before dropping the final two sets and punching their ticket horne. A pluses are not awarded in college, but if the Lutes pull out a couple victories in the West Region tournament, the 2012 Lutes will be deserving of one.

Alright I lied. Last week I said the standings would shift, and they did, but the change was insignificant. Gutierrez remains in first place while Loomis still sits in second. The only change was Hagensen, McDaniel and Dickerson joining Loomis in second. Lance Lute dropped from second to a tie for sixth with Ritchey. There is a possible drastic shift in the standings this week. Gutierrez, the Post Sunday Society's leader, is the only participant that selected Philadelphia Monday. If he is right, he opens a two-game lead over the field. If he is wrong, He falls into five-way tie for first place. Looking ahead, I see only one game that could change the standings. That game

occurs Nov. 19 when the Bears travel to San Francisco. Monday's outcome could potentially decide if there will be a single Post-Sunday Society champion, or if the crown will be split into fractions. As always, kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

Women's Soccer, C The women's soccer team is headed for its sixth straight season finishing in sixth place or lower. At 4-5-7, 2-5-7 the Lutes sit in seventh place in the NWC. A seventh place finish would typically warrant a lower grade, but for the women's soccer program, the C is relative. The Lutes are finishing their first season under new head coach Seth Spidahl and played with 13 first-years this season. The 19 total points for the Lutes this season is the most the team has finished with since 2006. The seven ties for the Lutes gave them a share in . a national record for most ties in a season. The report card has a C, but 2012 was an above average season for the women's soccer pro gam.

NCAA tournament. At 10-6-2, 9-3-1, the Lutes were haunted by a phantom loss to sixth-place Linfield and an in bility to knock off conference champion, Whitworth, in two chances. The Pirates are rank d no. 1 5 in the country. In August, the Lutes were picked by the NWC coaches to win the conference ior a second straight season. A win tomorrow against Puget S und locks up s ond place for the Lutes. A loss plac � them in third and a draw places the Tacoma schools in a second place tie. If the Lutes avoided the upset loss to Linfield and managed to claw out a victory against Whitworth, the 2012 season could have a completely different look. But mediocre results in the non conference portion of the season and three conference losses earn the Lutes a B.

Gutierrez's tearn concludes it season this weekend but his Monday Night Football picks are in mid season form. This week may be the indicator if he, and his hair, can keep it up.

Some who have cerebral palsy can't walk - they are confi n ed to wheelchairs. As stated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website , cerebral palsy is a group of disorders tha t a ffects a per on's ability to move and maintain balance and posture . However, one PLU student deosn't let the disease run his life. A j unior at Pacific Lu theran University, Kroy Miller towers over his companions and Standing at six p rofessors. feet seven inches, M ille is ne of the tallest students at PLo. When you notice him walking around campus, his gait is different (rom other people. Th at i because his entire right hemispher has cerebral palsy lip pIe wh d en t know me will come up to me and ask me if they can do anything to help, but I say that I'm fine and that I can take care of myself," Miller said. "I don't like to be dependent." '

N nnal ly, peeple who have cerebral pal > don't partake in Spl rts. Miller, however, isn't like most p e ople with erebral palsy. Mill er grew up lovmg sports, participating in s ccer, ultimate frisbee and baseba l l as an adolescent. Michael Miller, Kroy Miller's father, said, " We [my wife and 11 always told Kroy that he could do anything and we BUpp rted him in his sp rts endeavors." Playing sports with cerebral , alsy is not an easy task th ugh. Miller has to adjust based on w hat he can an can't do with his righ t arm and leg. In baseba ll, Miller throws with his lefL hand an catches with his le ft hand. To do this, he has to grab the top of the baseball glove with his ri gh t han in order to throw with the left hand. Mill r also has to adapt to the sport of ltirnate fri b e in order to excel at it. "I was in band in high school and I saw people p l aying it [ultimate frisbee]," M iller said. '1 have always been decent at throwing the frisbee, so r finally learned the game of u l ate frisbee and how much fun it is to. play." Miller had to overcome much adversity in order to be where he is today. If he hadn't received four surgeries, he might not be able to run or walk as he does today. Miller '

has had thre� su rge ri cs on his right leg and ne on his right arm . JIe had his first leg surgery w hen he was m third grade. The doctors stretche.d his AchiUes tendon and rotated his right foot so. that his stride would be m re balanced. Miller had his second leg surgery in igh th grade. Since Miller had grown so much since thir d grade, his Achilles tendon had to be stretched again. Miller had aIm su rgery in eighth grade as wel l Doctors switched some tendons a(OtUld in the hand so Kroy cou ld have more flexibility in his ann.

"It's very inspirational to see Kroy be so successful in athletics," David Loughiln, one of Miller's good friends, said. "What's r markable is that n t only can he play sports, but he can perform them in a way that almost makes you forget he has a disability." .

Goya said she conducts her personal life according to the same guideline, and doesn't "make assumptions about anyone." Although she said there aren't many resources out there, Goya told students at the event that she is available to answer any questions. The remaining two panelists were students who shared their own experiences with the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) community. Sophomore Nellie Moran, a student panelist who identifies as an LGBTQ ally said people in the LGBTQ community are "part of our humanity and we need to advocate for their rights as well." Students who have friends or family members exploring their gender and sexuality should affirm that "we're still going to be there for them," Moran said. Moran's older sister "came out, saying she was bisexual." Moran said she was uneducated about the LGBTQ community at the time, but has been "constantly learning" since then. "As an ally, you always have to have an open mind because you don't want to step on anyone's toes," Moran said. Moran is the treasurer for the Queer Ally Student Union (QASU) and is a self defined "strong advocate" for the LGBTQ community. coSmith, Sophomore Cady commissioner for QASU, said she wants students to know there is a support system at PLU standing behind the LGBTQ community, "no matter what help you need."She also told stu dents no ques ti on is an aw kward question.

Democrat Eric Herde loses state representative race Valery Jorgensen GUEST WRITER

jorgenvl@plu.edu

After months of double duty as a full time student and aspiring politician, Pacific Lutheran University junior Eric Herde lost his bid for State Representative on Tuesday. Republican Bruce D ammeier won the district 29 position instead. Herde ran unopposed in the blanket primary election on Aug. 7. Dammeier won the general election on Tuesday 60.94 percent to 39.06 percent. Herde fell short by 7,551 votes, according to the Washington Secretary of State webpage. "We don't have any student v ice in the legislature and that would ha e b en something I could have provide d," Herde said. However, he said he still plans to pursue a career in p libcs after graduation . He decided to run for office this fall because Dawn Morrell, a representative from district 25, "thought I would do well," Herde said. Though he campaigned in a prirnarily Democratic district and had the party affiliation advantage, Herde was the underdog agai..'lSt his older and more experienced Republican opponent. Herde started campaigning in June. The hardest part of the campaign, he said, was

raising money, because "it is really difficult to call someone up and ask them to give you money for politics. Especially with the perception p litics has nowadays." He added, "we IHerde and his team] knew from the start that I would have much less money than my opponent." Another major challenge for Herde was garnering name recognition as a first time political candidate. Sophomore Kjersten Braaten said she had "no idea wh Herde was" and was "surprised that a student at

PLU was running for such an important office." As a student, Herde said he was hoping to get "a fair amount of volunteers from PLU, but who knew college students hay a lot of homework?" Herde said he tried to raise awareness by "going out and knocking on doors." He said he "was very busy and definitely wasn't getting enough sleep for a normal person," but that it "is par for the course while in college or running for office." Herde is pursuing

majors in math, political science, Norwegian and studies. environmental Though he is in his third year at PLU, Herde said he entered PLU with enough credits that he has had "senior standing for a while now." Herde expects to graduate in spring 2014. Outside of class, Herde runs cross-country and works in the dining services office. Heading into election nigh t, Herde knew it "was going to take a lot to win, " and said from the start it "was going to be an uphill battle." Dammeier has years of experience in politics and has represened district 29 in the Washingt n state House of Representatives since 2008. He dead d to aim for State S nat in this election. Despite the outcome, Herde said the campaign was a learning experience and had a "positive" reaction to the race. He said he is proud f the fact that he was "about three percentage points higher than the last guy who ran against my opponent," and has "a I t more name recognition in the district now." Herde's plan for the near future is to focus on school and "catch up on homework." Herde said he has high 1 pes for his future in politics. "I think if I were to try again in two to four years I would do a lot better."

Pacific Lutheran University's step dance LuteNati n, team, organized two flash mobs at 6 p.m. The d ancers emerged from the Regency Room where they were practicing and began their routine almost at once. All the members of LuteNation were in costumes, ranging from a zebra to a "Grease" pink lady. They performed to an up-tempo versi n of Michael Jackson'S "TIuiller," playing on the Halloween theme flash mob with a classic. After "Thriller," LuteN tion performed a mor traditional step dance routine, with breakout moments for several members. The team also hosted a table with candy and more information about LuteNation for any observers who were interested. First-year LuteNation member John Adams said, "We did it to just do it, put our name out

there a little more and celebrat the spirit of Halloween." decided Lu teNatio to do the flash mob n Halloween because PLU has a tradition of inviting children to trick r treat through the residence halls.

Editor reviews best and worst remakes of classic movies

coPY EDITOR

Kelsey Mejlaender mejlaekk@Plu.edu

As much as we all love classics, sometimes it's nice to see our favorite 20th century movies get a face-lift. From updating special effects to modernizing social themes, improvements on even the best films can always be made. Unfortunately, some directors find it difficult to recapture the original movie magic. With the new version of "Red Dawn" due to blow up theaters Nov. 21, a review of recent remakes and a preview are in order.

1. Footloose - Original: 1984, Remake: October 2011 This musical drama is about a a cago teenager who moves to a small town where dancing has been banned. Protagonist Ren McCormak struggles to bring back dancing, which he sees as a vital fonn of expression. In the original, Kevin Bacon plays Ren McCormak while the remake features Kenny .

Annual stude nt - dire cte d musical packs black box studio theatre for a we eke nd of shows Rachel Diebel A&E REPORTER

dicbdra@Plu.cdu Luth ran Pacific Night University's annual of Musical Theatre (NOMT) brought down the house la t Friday despite pre-show comp lications. The e veni ng started off with disappointment for many. By 7 p. m., the line stretched at the entrance around the comer of Eastvold although Auditorium doors idn't open until 7:30 p.m. Many performers had complimentary tickets reserved for friends and family, which left very few seats available for general admission. the Construction on Eastvold main stage means that all productions this a 'on must take place in the Ka ren Hille Philhps black box studi theater where seating is limited. The shuffle was forgotten when the show began, however. This year's NOMT contained an engaging mix of sad and funny songs. When the songs were sad, they were heart-wrenching, including the show's title

piece "Falling Slowl y" from the movie-musical "Once," excellent which featured choreography by Jack Sorensen. Another " Freedom's was Child" from "The Civil War," whi h was preceded and followed by audio clips from John F . Kennedy's assassination, 9/11 and other justiceÂ related historical events. When the songs were funny, they hilarious. were Pitassi Marina gave a standout performance with her solo "My Strongest Suit," a song about well. dressing The audience also loved "Baptize Me" from "The Book of Mormon," a duet between Pitassi and Kraig Partridge.

In the end, the en lire cast joined hands for two final songs, "I Believe" and "Sunday," songs abou t the power of conviction, and an ordinary day in an ordinary life respectively. It was an interesting choice by director senior Alex Domine to end the show with a sweet, quiet song rather than a showstopper, but it worked. It was a typical Friday, but for the OMT cast and crew, it was a time to shine.

Pacific Lutheran University was recently ranked among the top U. S. master 's inst itutions to produce Fulbright scholars. The Fulbright institution, establi hed by the U. S. Congress in 1946, is the largest U. S. international exchange program to offer students, scholars and

profe sors the opportunity to participate in international graduate study, advanced research and teaching from the primary to university level worldwide. Guest writer Sonja Schaefer sat down with Linlei Zhu, Fulbright scholar and professor at China s Xidian University, to discuss the transition from teaching English in China to teaching Chinese at PLU and what she hopes to take back to her students.

" This is just one xample of the cultural y revealing statements one of this year's Fulbright Scholars shares with her friends back home in Xi'an, China. Through her posts, Zhu exemplifies the capacity of h I' generation to observe and then share ideas about culture and politics. At 28 years old, she comes from a generation that grew up with a constant economic growth rate of roughly 10 percent. "This generation of Chinese stu dents has more confidence than any other generation in modern times," Mahlon Mey r, visiting professor of history, said. "They are curious about the world and want to cormect with both Chinese and foreigners." This Fulbright experience is the first time Zhu has been to the U.S. However, she is not new to English. She studied English for 10 years and has taught EngHsh to Chinese university stLtdents for three years. Zhu s aid she becam familiar with many aspects of A merican '

RcgaTd less of your personal stance n these issues, Washington's stance was clear: smoking weed is somewhat more acceptable than same-sex marriage. Of the 39 co un ties in Washi ngton State, only two voted more in fa or of same-sex marriage than legalizing marijuana as of Wednesday night One was our n ighbor King County, the oth r was San Juan County. We had barely broken into the election results when 1-502 to legalize marijuana passed, with 55.2 percent of voters in favor of it as of Wednesday night. It wasn't until late Tuesday everting that same sex marriage pulled ahead and was projected to win. It was finally confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that it passed by a slim margin. It's a sad thing when y ur state is quick to legalize weed but more hesitant to legalize love.

The people avoiding exsanguination have no idea the trauma us donors go through. Blood is only the beginning. If you want to give your "good deeds" badge a gleam that could out-sparkle a "Twilight" vampire, consider bone marrow. The first image that comes to mind when bone considering marrow donation may be a long, wicked needle and pain that makes donating blood seem like child's play. The truth is that the donation is perfonned with anesthetic so there is no pain during the procedure. After the donation, many donors experience some fatigue and an achy feeling, which can be painful or easily ignored depending on the donor. Unlike donating blood, this is not something you do every 56 days. Many people who register to be donors may never receive the call to actually give bone marrow.

fathers warned about big states having disproportional influence over small states. Thus, the Electoral Collage was created. By having an Electoral College, candidates need a state campaign strategy rather than one focusing on the most p pulated states in the nation. The idea of the Electoral College fails. 10 the 2012 election, the swing state happened to be Ohio. The Washington Post foun.d that swing states Florida, Virginia and Ohio received more combined advertising dollars ilia 11 other 47 states combined. Because of the . E1ectoral College, pre dential candidates isolate their f s on key swing states. According to the Federal VOting A sistance Program, in 2008, critical swing states Florida and Ohio both had more than 66 percent of citizens voting, while larger s tates like New York and

Texas only had 59 percent and 54. 1 percent, respectively. Now more than ever, larger states are feeling as though their vote does not m atter . ill the Electoral Colleg , one Wyoming vote equals 4 California votes. In a fair democracy, everyone's vote is counted equally. Abolishing the Electoral force would College presidential candidates to focus on the individual voters rather than swing states. In the last two months of the 2008 election. the candidates presidential visited Ohio 62 times. Ohio was a hu� deciding factor in th i s election, because of the Electorai College. Ou r founding fathers ieared the i gnora nce of the people to choose their elected o fficials. The Electoral College was their way of adding a check and balance to th system . The founding fathers were right to think this. Our nation

This system m y have the 1 9th worked du ring century as poHtical parties started to gain influence, but it is now outdated and elitist. I know that SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea and I am knowledgeabie enough to cast my ballot for who I believe is the best candidate to represent our nation and my ideolOgies. Yet the Electoral COllege takes my righ as a voter away. Th Electoral College has overturned the popular vote three times in our nation's historv. Three errors in 55 elections is a iailu re rate o f five percent. We got lucky this election - the Electoral College did not overturn our votes. But we ha e not been lucky in the past. At least with the popular vote, every vote will count.

SOPHOMORE

As a Pacific Lutheran University student, I am a little cone med about some of the viewpoint expre sed in the story about the 'Lutedome.' It seems as though the intentions and opinions of Community Dialogue Day are jumbled. The students and ASPLU representatives referred to in the article did not efficiently speak on the issue of whether or not Community Dialogue Day would benefit PLU students. Senior Jeff Toulman had the right idea when he stated, "The main idea right now should be PLU focusing on itself." program The is essentially supposed to help Parkland residents feel more welcomed by PLU. However, I feel the opposing perspectives are overlooking the benefits PL U can gain from the program. In regards to the focus of terminating the term 'PY: it is important to reach out t PLU students who are direcUy affected by it. I believe some people are discrediting the program from what its fullest p otential can be, which may be a reason for th lack of supp rt. Comm unity Dial gue Day should not just be a program to make Parkland feel mo re resid en ts welcomed by PLU or for PLU to become stronger. Dialogue Communi Day should also be a program for PLU students who want to feel closer to the community and genuinely want to understand all the people who encompass the Parkland communjtv In order to achieve th ex pressed goal and purpose of Community Dialogue Day, th line between the PLU and P� rk1and communities mu st be blurred. There needs to be a genuine mu tual de. i re for ed cation on sought issues. It should be recognized that the PLU community students, consists of alumni, facul ty, professors and donors. If money designated to ou treach clubs and programs i rea!!y the probiem, that issue should be addressed to all the people who fund them. Those who are opposed to the program fail to see the benefi ts of Community Dialogue Day's potential, the benefits in discussions regardi.ng like issues campus safety and the benefits of conununi o/ progression in susta inability . M ybe my suggestions and opini ons are a stretch, but 1 think the main issue in Ulis article was not th e " c st of words," as the title of the a rticle proposed. From the information presented, 1 b l ie ve it was the issue of whether or not people care.

Cross Country

The women's soccer team ended a seven-game scoring drought, and its season, last weekend. The Lutes defeated both Willamette and George Fox with final scores of 2-0. The two victories improve the Lutes' season record to 6-5-7, 4-5-7. It is the first time since 2006 the team finished with a winning record. The perfect weekend began Friday when the Lutes hosted Willamette for the final home game of the season. It was the final home game ever for s · 'dfielder Mimi Granlund and senior defender Erica Boyle. The Lutes scored their first goal since the Oct. 7 game against the same Bearcats, in the 17th minute. Lauren Larson followed her blocked shot with an immediate goal for her team-leading eighth goal of the season. In the second half, Willamette pressured Pacific Lutheran and got off its first shot of the game from Shannon Scott, but first-year goalkeeper Marisa Gonzalez was there for the easy save. Larson nearly added an insurance goal but was denied by the outstretched hand of Bearcat keeper Nicole Price. Six minutes later, Larson and sophomore midfielder Hannah Bush assisted a Kristi D'Allesandro goal, doubling

PLU's lead in the 74th minute. It was the junior defender's first goal of the season. The defense also played a huge role in the victory, leaving the Bearcats with only three total shots and two on goaL Gonzalez easily blocked each one. After the game, the Lutes hopped on the bus for the trek down 1-5 to Newberg, Ore. to play George Fox in the season finale. The Lutes scored first midway through the first half when Granlund, playing her final game as a Lute, fed the ball down the middle to Larson. Showing off her athleticism by running past Larson finally deienders, scored against Bruin keeper Alyssa Montero for her ninth goal of the season. Larson's nin goals this season are second best in the conference. The Lutes maintained the 1-0 lead until the 80th minute when Hannah Bush, after an assist from Samantha Benner, beat a defender and scored from 15 yards out. Once again PLU's defense stood firm by limiting the Bruins to only four shots on goaL Lute keeper Gonzalez made all four saves, marking her eighth shutout of the season. The Lutes will return 28 players for the 2013 season.

Four interesting women 's soccer facts

2. Head Coach Seth Spidahl tied seven games in th i s, his first season at the helm. Jerrod Fleury, who coached the women's program for five years, tied seven games in his entire tenure. The seven ties this season matched the NCAA women' s �ingle-season record .

''I'm speechless at the way she is playing," North said. Last Wednesday, the Lutes hosted Puget Sound. A PLU win would have secured the conference championship. But the Lutes feU in straight sets, 0-3. They were given another chance two days later. The Lutes needed a win Friday over the BlUinS to earn an automatic bid to

the NCAA tournament. Because UPS won Sa turday, a loss

would have earned the Lutes a co conference championship and an NCAA tournament bid would be up to the opinion of the NCAA West Region Selection Committee.

"I believe we have the potential to beat them [Chapman] but we need to look at one point at a time," senior outside hitter Kelsey Pacolt said. If the Lutes escape the first round, they are guaranteed to face a familiar opponen t. Waiting for the Lutes would be Colorado College, who beat the Lutes 3-1 Sept. 8 in Colorado Springs.

Sustainability manager Chrissy Cooley presented the STAR system to the PLU sustainability department on Wednesday. This is the second year Pacific Lutheran University has submitted the STAR report. STAR stands for Sustainable Tracking Assessment and Rating system. Ther are three major a pects of this program: education and research, operations and planning

and administrative of engagement points. Throughout this process, PLU has recognized that ln the education and research section, campus is improving curriculum. However, PLU still needs to work on it, as sustainability tends to be left out of classroom lectures. PLU is also improving in operations, but still needs to improve sustainable transportation. "We are leading [in points], but everyone in the game is doing bad right now," Cooley said when addressing how PLU stands overall in

comparison to other schools with the same system. If PLU receives all the points and innovative marks, the school may reach the gold bar on STAR's rating system, with 65 points. If PLU does not reach this level, it will be in the silver category, but at a much higher level than last year. Before the Nov. 14 meetmg, President Krise Thomas signed a pledge that PLU would be carbon neutral by.

Television tuning to the past Editor takes remake review to the small screen, highlights new

renditions of some of television' s classic shows Kelsey Mejlaender COPY EDITOR

mejlaekk@Plu.edu

Just like movies, TV shows are often subject to the remaking frenzy. Though we may not have been alive or at least not doing much more than drooling - for the first airing of a show, older relatives may remember these classics. To them, the original may be irreplaceable, but for those of us who have spent more time in the 21st century, a remake may provide the needed boost to an old-timer series.

Original: "Dallas" CBS 1975-1991, Remake: TNT June 2012-Present

This soap was practically

a college requirement back in

its heyday, drawing students to congregate weekly for each new episode. The show followed one conflict-filled family, the Ewings of Dallas, Texas, and focused on the bitter rivalry between brothers J.R. and Bobby. In the remake, the backstabbing family shenanigans continue as the sons of the two brothers follow

in their fathers' footsteps. Actors Larry Hagman Patrick and Duffy reprise their roles as J.R. and Bobby respectively, Josh while H e n d e r s o n plays John and Ross Jesse Metcalfe p o r t r a y s Christopher brothers' the sons. W i t h inclusion of some of the original actors, the show's classic flavor is difficult to miss. The core qualities of the show are exactly the same, but the remake is contextually updated for 2012. John Ross and Christopher are simply new and younger versions of the original dueling brothers. and despite their attempts to end the inter family feud - and fortunately for every drama-loving viewer - they're ultimately unsuccessful.

"With inclusion of some of the original ac tors, the show's [ 'Dallas' ] classic flavor is difficult to miss."

Nothing beats a classic detective story unless of course you throw in a she1Iing's-worth of action to spice things up. In the classic 12-season serial, Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams are cops on a special Hawaii state police task force, following clues and stopping crime in a no nonsense fashion. In the update, actors Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan portray Steve and Danny. Both have a lot more muscle than their predecessors and little inhibition when it comes to beating up the bad guys.

When they fall in love, Vincent does not transform into a man, but remains in his beastly state. The new version drops the don't judge a book by its cover" moral, opting instead for a Hulk-like twist. Whenever supermodel Vincent, played by Jay Ryan, becomes angry, his face gets as scary as cheap television special effects can make it and he throws stuff around and punches walls. The moral of this story: don't agree to be the military's human lab rat even if you're depressed after your brothers die in 9/1 1 . Yes, the CW tactfully decided to tie a painful and life-changing its terrorist attack into supernatural love story. Although the remake has earned almost entirely negative reviews, the few episodes aired so far did not make me want to hurl tomatoes at my TV. Though the plot isn't groundbreaking, the show might beat watching static.

Opera m ay not be the default music on everyone's iPods, but Pacific Lutheran University's performance of liThe Magic Flut " was still a joy to see and hear. Mozart creat d the piece near the end of the 18th century, and it includes both spoken ialogue an singing. The plot f Hows Prince Tarnino, p layed by s ni r John Marzano, and his quest to rescu his love Pamina, the daug t er of the Queen of the Night, portrayed by sophomore Elizabeth Binkley. To assist him in the rescue, Tamino uses a magic flu te that has the power to "change men's hearts." Mu ic is appropriately the primary narrative mode. The University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jeffrey Bell-Hanson, performed with a natural fluidity that provided a strong emotional context Senior Mary A rdinglon, who played the actual music for Tamino's magic flute, said, "I love Mozart. I love classical style." The style certainly fi t the fantastical and mvttuc mood of the p l ay, as did other aspects of the

perf rmance

The sets were simple, but elegant. Five painted panels Wlth three sides enabled the backgr unds to alternate between rocky wilderness, for t and pillars. A screen was abo hWlg above the tage. Most often, it was used to disp l ay the lyrics a the pe:rlormers sang ..0 the audien e cou ld follow along, but it a lso howed pictures that weI thematicalJy relevant and even a clip of the protagonist runnin g through a forest to prefa ce his actual emergence On tage Comic relief wa a tron g element of the play and there were countless allUSIOns to m odem m.aterial. In one such case, Tamino' sidekick Birdman Papageno, played by Juhan Reisenth I, lamented that if he couW not find love, all he would have was his subscription to "playbird magazine." Papageno later began singing in

Gennan for a few lines - the original language of the opera - then shouted "nein, nein" and requested English. The screen projecting his German lyrics then displayed an apology and explained Google Translate was " activating." The opera's drama was best expressed by the exceptional performance of PLU alum Amy van Mechelen as Queen of the Night. He.r elabora make-up and costume combined with her powerful singing and stage presence allowed her to captivate the audience and set the tone whenever she ap peared . Though the play ran well past the promised tw -hour time range, the audience did not grow restless. Oftentimes, actors would en ter a scene by walking down the aisles of audience seating, really personalizing the performance. The dialogue was very modem an d helped keep everyone' attention. Th ugh the lyrics were crafted in more dated vernacular, they were asy to comp rehend, especially with the assistance of the projector. Neither the singing nor language inhibited the audience's understanding of the leading figures. Marzano said of hIS d aracter, Tamino, "be is ery unsure about the world .that he kind of entered" and tha t playing "all of those parts vith the love, and the confusion, and the nobleness, the bravery makes for a very c m plex character ,, " any story, "The As should Magic Flute" excelled in character developmE!nt, entertaInment value and the balance of c medytand drama Editor's Iwte- Mnlly of tile ro/ctl 'Wcre played by (we flctor who alternated /lights.

#collegestudentproblems: finding a way to keep up with your favorite shows. With a limited number of televisions in the residence halls, viewing shows live may not always be possible. For many, the choice comes down to Netflix, Hu JuPlus, standard Hulu or old-school DVDs. Rulu may be free, but viewing current episodes of our favorite shows requires a subscription. Both Netflix and Hu luPIus have their own set of advantage and shortcomings to consider beior investing in a subscription.

HuluPlus If you want to stay on top of curren t hows, Netflix DVDs can be inconvenient with the residence hall mail system. Rulu, on the other hand, only off rs five of the most recently aired episodes, unless you are a member of their private dub - Hulu Ius. For the same price as Netflix, $7.99 per month, you can get a HuluPlus subscription and watch past and present seasons of nearly any show you want. Plus, subscribers can watch new episodes of shows from most network just a day after they air on TV - usually only possible via illegal streaming. If you are a TV buff, HuluPlus is the best choice.

Along with current shows, you can watch every season of classics like "The Cosby Show," "Firefly" and "Spongebob Squarepants." However, if you are a diehard movie lover, the cinematic options Hulu Plus offers can be painful. While scrolling through the options, titles such as "Fetishes" and "Elvira's Movie Macabre" appear as highlights. Like YouTube, HuluPlus has taken to producing short webisodes. A new six episode series called "4 to gers," exclusive to HuluPlus, centers on the lives of young Subway employe s. Overt product plac ment aside, HuluPlus can be mmended for adopting this trending entertainment medium. For the same financial commitment as Netflix, a HuluPlus user can access archived seasons of classic television, just-aired shows, brand new webisodes and can view them all on multiple devices. For a TV-loving college student, HuluPlus is the way to go.

Netflix

Everybody knows about Netflix. Their red enveloped DVDs delivered to customers' homes are iconic. But how well does Netflix stack up to the competition? Netflix has many recommend a hon-wo rthy attributes, such as its pricing. For just $7.99 per month, users have access to unlimited video streaming.

A&E 7

Novice novelists rush to write

For an extra dollar per month, users can have DVDs sent to their homes as well. These DVDs are usually recent releases that aren't yet accessible online. Another positive aspect of Netflix is the usability of the site. It is well laid out and easy to navigate. Features like "My Queue" help keep the movies and TV shows you want to watch organized. There are also no commercials to delay viewing - not the case with Hulu or even HuluPlus. Until recently, a downside of Netflix was its sparse content. Few recent television shows or movies were available for instant watch. This problem has been remed' ed with one caveat: typically epis s of a show do not go up until the season is over. Unlike Bulu, where some episodes show up the day after ajring, Netflix posts whole seasons of a show at once. But once a TV show goes on Netflix instant watch, it typically stays there. With the free version of Hulu, users have nly a limited period of time in which to watch the episode. Netflix is even beginning to produce its own content. The series "Lilyhamrner" was Netflix's first original series, and the cancelled cult hit "Arrested Development" will find a new home there in the coming months. Overall, Netflix is well worth the price paid and will only continue to improve in the future.

This November, more than 200,000 people will attempt to do something a little crazy: write a novel. November is National Novel Writing Month, known as NaNoWriMo, a nationwide event during which anyone brave enough tries to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. The event began when founder Chris Baty and 20 of his friends decided to try to write novels over the course of a month simply because they were aspiring writers with nothing else to do. That spontaneous decision blossomed into a well-known annual event that has even led to publication for some NaNoWriMo participants. Popular young adult novels "Anna and the French Kiss" by Stephanie Perkins and "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern - which also has a Hollywood adaptation i the works - originated as NaNoWriMo projects. lilt's km of like running a marathon," first-year Dylan N hrenberg said, a participant in NaNoWriMo. "It can be really painful, but for some reason you keep wanting to do it. It's the same with writing." "It's hard," first-year Courtney Gould said, who is also rising to the challenge. "You realize you can sit down for an hour and only write 30 words." Gould said it is difficult to write when you doubt the quality of your work, "but you have to force yourself to not look back at it." argue Some that NaNoWriMo encourages poor writing because the focus is on quantity rather than quality. However, participants NaNoWriMo are encouraged to edit their novel once they have completed it and are

provided wi th re urccs and recommendations about the editing process. Because the event is about striving to complete a goal and not necessarily about producing superlative writing, many casual writers participate. Nehrenberg said that despite the hardships, NaNoWriMo is "a great motivator." He added, "I greatly enjoy writing, but I have to give myself the time to do it." This is Gould's third year participating in NaNoWriMo. She said, "it's just something my friends and I do every year." NaNoWriMo is in its 13th year, and every year the number of participants and the number of winners has increased dramatically. Though the event is not a competition, "winning" NaNoWriMo - successfully completing the 50,000word goal - is the ul timate aim for some returning participants ''It would feel r ally good [to reach the goal]," Gould said. She added that s'Ucceeding "would feel like a big accomplishment." The NaNoWriMo website provides support for anyone wishing to join in the month足 long journey to 50,000 words. Authors like Kate DiCamillo - "The Tale of Desperoux" - and Karen Russell "Swamplandia !" send daily pep talks via email. NaNoWriMo resources also include daily ideas about ways writers can take their stories in new directions or avoid writer's block. Regional managers hold write-ins and provide support for anyone struggling with the project. At Pacific Lutheran University, The Mark writing club meets on Tuesdays at 7 p.m., and holds write-ins for NaNoWriMo.

comer of life experience. While I acknowledge that such heart-wrenching stories drag us out of our suburban mentality and widen our world view, the constant repetition of such themes actually limits our world view. Now the world is simply in two parts: one part suburban and the other gore, violence and poverty. This method actually contributes to the "them and us" mentality regarding unfamiliar cultures. Such novels tell us we should be grateful for what we have, because they have it rough. Tolerance and compassion do not spring from such a lopsided view. 0ptimism described is by the highly ra tional as u n re a J i s t l , a sim p 1 i stic illogical or - a means of the ignoring "real" world.

An optimistic outlook results in extended life expectancy, better coping strategies, enhanced mental and physical health and success in heightened academics, sports and work.

It seems the glass is always half empty. In recent years, it seems as if pessimism has come to be associated with reason, while optimism is somehow seen as a sign of lesser intelJigence. If academic r e a d i n g selections are any indicator, the acadentic community would rather label war zones as Ute "real" world than the white picket fences that adorn so many lawns. I d n't believe "real" the world is only c mposed of the places where tragedy abounds. However, the books we are often required to read for class seem to only represent this negative portion of the world. Heading into my freshman year of high school, I was required to read "The Weight of All Things" by Sandra Benitez, a novel about the El Salvadoran civil war, and "The Iliad," Homer's war epic. That summer, I rea d more accounts of brutal, h rrifying deaths than I have in all of my literary experience. Yet the point of the assignment was supposed to be to identify the "heroic journey" and learn to apply it to my own life. Only focusing on the horrors of our world limits one's perspective to a small

siberam@plu.edu There is an archaic idea of the American family: blond, blue-eyed, heterosexual, 2.2 children with a white picket fence. Today, we are seeing an entirely different idea of the family, a new definition of "normal" if you will. With the passage of Referendum 74, Washington became one of 10 states to legalize gay marriage. While this is a momentous leap for human rights, it also allows for a broader vi w of the American family. ow, not only do we have the old idea of the heterosexu I couple, but a new and growing acceptance of same - sex couples. Ironically, with a divorce rate around 50 percent, there is a growing number of split families, and it is almost becoming more normal for parents to be divorced than together.

By wanting people to fit into these boxes, society denies some people the right to love who they want - whether that is someone of the same gender or a different race. Consider just 50 years ago when an interracial couple would likely have been attacked if they walked hand in-hand down the street together. Some people today want to do that to same sex couples and continue to look at interracial couples as if it does not quite seem believable. We are growing toward the day when there is no "normal," when one cannot simply say "I have a family" and people will assume one thing or another.

Lutes adva ce to N CAA tou rna ment for fi rst time i n Nathan Shoup

SPORTS EDITOR

Ii history told us anything, it told us the Pacific

shoupna@Plu.edu

Lutheran football team's season should have been over after the third week of the season. The Lutes sat at 1-2 with losses to California Lutheran and Linfield. But the Lutes rattled off six consecutive victories after the Linfield game, and for the first time since 2001 - PLU is playoff-bound. The Lutes were granted an at-large team into the NCAA tournament Sunday afternoon. PLU will play Linfield in McMinville, Ore. tomorrow at noon. "Our time to rise," sophomore tight end Lucas Sontra tweeted after the selection show. The 2001 Lutes squad was the last to recei e an at-Large bid into the tournament after losing a non con feren ce game and not winning the c nference. The 37-2 loss to California Luth ran at home in the season-opener seemingly cia ed the d oor on an at-large bid to the 32-team NCAA tournament. Two weeks later the Lute fell 31 -24 to tomorrow's first - round foe, Linfiel d . The Lutes would have needed to win the rem a inder of thei r games while Linfield would have had to lose twice in conference for the Lutes to win the Northwe t Con feren ce and receive an automatic bid to the tournament. The Wild cats h ave lost only seven regular sea on

games since 2005. PLU he ld up its end of the deal. Unfortunately lor the Lutes, "Linfield played a s trong sea on en TOU te to

a 9-0 record and a no. 3 na tiona l ranking.

The California Lutheran and Linfield losses certainly worked against the Lutes, but their strength of schedule was an ai de California L u the ran sits at 8-1 with a no. 8 na ti onal ranking. Falling to the no. 3 and no. 8 teams in the nation i certainly un de rstand a ble, if not respe ctab le . The Lutes' path to the playoffs was m aybe a little unor thod ox - dropping two of their first three games - but that is irreLevan t. The Lu tes are five wins away from a national ti tle and il's h ard to not get e, cite d about th is team. .

History of the Rivalry

...

Linfield owns a 21 -36-4 advantage over the Lutes, but that record doesn't demonstrate the Wildcats' the past d ecade . PLU has dropp d the 1a t 1 1 con tests to Linfield . The J t L u tes te m to knock off the Wildcats was

dominance over PLU in

the 2001 team - the one that received an at-large bid despite losing a non-conference and conference game. Sound familiar? That team defeated Linfield 31-20 in McMinville in the third week of the season before falling in the third round of the NCAA tournament.

Weather Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the low 50s with a 60 percent chance of rain. Unusual I know. But does the rain give one team an advantage? With a wet football, it is much more difficult to get the passing game going. This puts pressure on the run game. Linfield has been allowing just more than 70 yards per game on the ground while PLU bas been allowing 90 rushing yards per game. The Lutes are rushing for nearly 140 yards per game while Li nfield is rushing for just short of 155 yards per game. Linfield's Maxwell Field is turf, so mud will n t be a factor. The Lutes played in a deluge Oct. 20 at home against Willamette, but the ra in was not a factor. FLU ran for 1 57 yards an sophomore quarterback Dalton Ritchey rushed for three scores. Ritchey also threw for 1 97 yards in th downpour. Considering both �ms' strong TO hing attacks and run defenses, J don't think the weather gives either team an advantage. Seven Lutes were named first-team All Co ni rence selections Tuesday. The selections included two sopho m ores quarterback Dalton Ritchey and wide receiver Kyle Warn r - f ur ju ni ors - off ive lineman Chris Edison, d efensi ve linemen Mychael Tuia sa po, linebacker Jordan Patterson, safety Sean Mcfadden - and senior cornerback Taylor Angevine. Eleven other Lutes were named second-team or honorable mentJon selections. Linfield has its share of all-NWC p layers as well. Senior quarterback Mickey Inns was named offensive playerofthe year and linebacker Dominique Forrest was named defensive player of the year. Outside of the two players of the year for Linfield, th Wildcats had seven first-team selections, fi ve sec nd-team selections and two honorable mention s lections.

Prediction Linfield has owned PLU over the past decade, but the talent gap has shrunk. PLU led Linfield 14-0 early in the first quarter of their meeting in September befo! the Wildcats grabbed a 31-24 lead late in the game. The beauty of the playoffs is the reality that anything can happen. The fact that tomorrow is a rivalry game only adds to the possibility of the Lutes snapping the skid to Linfield. The Lutes football team is pumped up and so is the university as a whole. The losing streak to Linfield will end tomorrow. In the elements, close games often come down to turnovers and a team's ability to run the ball. The Lutes have intercepted a conference-high 1 9 passes and recovered 14 fumbles - also a conferen e high.

The Lu tes have been busy regrouping to make up for the graduation of two seniors last spring. The L utes graduated career a ssists leader Tames Conti and guard Marcus R aves but managed Lo recrui t fOU T fir t years to add depth to the basketbaU team. The first years coul d gain significan t laying tim if liley work ard in practice, sophomore forward Cole Parker said.

The Lu tes fini hed in a tie for fou rth place last yea r in the Northwes t Conferenc . This year, conference coaches project a fifth place finish for lhe Lutes in the NWC. But a top-her NWC finish

senior wing Cameron SchiUing, who earned an Conference All-Northwest honorabl mention last year. uWe absolutely pl an on finishing better than fifth, but the poll pick is the last thing n ou r mind," Parker said. "We're going to go oul and take each game one at a time." The Lutes played their fir t game Nov. 2 against D� l Seattle adfic

with

University (SPU). SPU proved too much for the Lutes to handle, however, as the Falcons triumphed with a score of 72-48. Senior guard Drew Eaniest led the Lutes in scoring, garnering 15 points. Earnest All-Conference achieved honors during the 2010- 1 1 season. Schilling tallied 10 points. The Lutes' bench managed to outscore SPU 13-10. SPU sh w d its a thleticism, outrebounding PLU 42-24. BecBu.se this was an exhibition game, the result did not count towards either team's reeor . "I think if we work h ard every day and get better every day an d focus n what we c an control," sophomore wing A ndrew Alness said, then " we have a very good chance of being one of the top teams in our league." Sixth-year head coach Steve Dick rson leads the Lutes. Dickerson comes from rich with background a baske tball success. Dickerson was a high sch 01 coach in the Columbus, Ohio area for 33 years. He managed to gamer more than 200 wins, including a state final appearance, a regional title, two district championships, nine sectional titles, four league championships and several regional and district awards.

White ribbons raise awareness against violence Erica Winscot

GUEST WRITER.

Lutheran Pacific At University, violence and emotional abuse against women and children is not overlooked. During the White Ribbon Campaign, which runs from Nov 25 through Dec. 6, participants pledge to never commit, ondone or remain violence silent about the that ha res ulted in scarrin g, mutilation and even death . Jonathan Grove, the M n Against Violence program the coordinator, started camp ign at PLU and has been leading it for seven years through the women's center. The campaign spread worldwide during 1991, when men all across Canada wore the white ribbon to signify they had taken the pledge. The white ribbon campaign is unique in that it is composed primarily of men. MAPPE (Men a Partners Equality), a Promoting student-led organization, is ,

hosting tabling throughout this week to spread awareness. Many men in the PLU community they said participate in the effort to stop violence towards women. "I don't want the actions of few boys to show for me as a man," sophomore Joe Basler, an advocate and PLU leader in this campaign, said. Grove said, " these are not issues to be owned by one party, one gender or one agency. These are hwnan issues and we all su ffer their consequen es." The Men Speak Out Faceboo k page and the women's center provide resources stud nts for interested in becoming more involved.

"I got to do behind the scenes and everything [as stage manager]," Van Mechelen said. A PLU transfer student, Van Mechelen said she recalled her challenging 20th century music history class taught by Professor Greg Bowers - who no longer teaches at PLU - as her favorite. She continued, "you kind of are upset that you have a really tough teacher, but then you end up learning a lot." Van Mechelen said a wide variety of classes are necessary because music students need to "gamer experience in other things besides just singing and performing." She said PLU gives students "a really gr at foundati n of theory and history and . . . that c an-d o attitude." After PLU, Van Mechelen e arned her Master degree in m usic from Colorado Sta te Universlty.

Comparing professional productions to PLU, Van Mechelen said the two were "very different" and the former had more defined roles. At PLU, Van Mechelen said, when working on props, sets and costumes "everyone comes together and it's a community thing" while in the Seattle Opera Company, people only complete the tasks assigned them.

Editor previews big screen adaptations offavorite old novels Kelsey Mt;jlaender

Adapting books to the big screen has been a trend in Hollywood since the early days of cinema. Though the box-office-breaking successes of young adult novels have been basking in the spotlight lately, three upcoming movies will give classic books the chance for fame. 1. "Anna Karenina" By Leo Tolstoy

Written in late 1800s Russia, this novel is famous for its exploration of faith and fidelity. The story follows title character Anna, who finds love and passion in an adulterous affair. The scandal starts a chain of events, affecting the other characters and hurtling Anna to a tragic conclusion. Highly detailed and intricate at over 1,000 pages, the transition to a movie is bound to drop a few plot points. However, this is not likely to take away from the cinematic experience, as the original could certainly have been mor c cise. Starn g A cademy Award nomi nees Keira Knightley and Jude Law, the e l aborate film is set to get a few Oscar nods. Scenes set in M o scow and St. Petersb u rg were di played in a 19th century theater, an interesting choice by Joe Wright, the cU red r. Though the m vie came ut in select theaters Nov. 1 6, it had not been released locally until today. The Tacoma Grand Cinema begins showing th film at 3 p.m. 2. "Les Miserables" B y Victor Hugo

Published in 1862, France, the book's title translates to "the miserable" and, like "Anna Karenina," ha a page count tha t make ' the Bible look like a light read. Both novel and movie follow felon Jean Val jean, a man who escqpes

poverty and his criminal record. A changed man who works to benefit others, Valjean is plagued by the dogged pursuit of Inspector Javert. The musical stage version in the 80s inspired the new movie, which is also a musical featuring the famed songs. Hugh Jackman stars, as does Academy Award winner Russell Crowe and Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway. According to The Huffington Post, an advanced screening on Nov. 23 received a standing ovation. Like Anna Karenina, this movie has a great deal of Oscar buzz and should gamer several nominations, if not wins. Originally set for a Dec. 14 release - the perfect celebration to end finals - the movie was pushed back to open Christmas Day.

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

A frequent member of high school required-reading lists, almost all students know the 1925 novel "The Great Gatsby."

As soon as Thanksgiving

is over, it becomes standard

practice to blast Christmas tunes and play Christmas

choose from, we thought we�d

Made in 1946, "It's a Wonderful Life" IS the black-and-whit fairytal story of George Bailey, a man who gets his wish lhat he had never been born and has to sti ck around and see the consequences. TIl movie was not w [J T cei v d when it came out, but it has �ince become a huge hit, wi tI, some holding annual screenings of the movie. "

Continuing With the strain of Christmas rom cams, "The Holiday" IS a movie no one should go wi tho u t viewing. A harried American businesswoman trades places with a broken-h arted EngJishwoman for the holidays.

quirky film "Santa Claus Con quers the Martians" belongs in the Christmas annals. This low-budget film can po sibly be found in your neighborh d Dollar Tree on a good year.

If conventional Chrisbnas movies are not for you, there are plenty of films that may not appear to be holiday themed at first, bu t upon closer inspection do have all the hall marks of a classi c Ouistmas movie.

around

The

office. The University Student Media -Soard, which oversees campus studen t media out! ts, Cormal received compJaints regarding aspects of The /vfast newsroom that weren' t changin� including understaffing, increasingly late production ni gh ts and low morale. Last week, several memb rs of The Mast attended a hearing of the complaints and were given an pportunity to refute the claims. The hea ring resulted in a vote by Media Board to remove Jack Sorensen fr m his po ition a Ed itor-in Chief, Following the deClsion, Jack filed an appeal with Laura Majovski, the vice president of student involvement and dean of shtdent lif . On M ond ay, Majovski decided t uphold Media Board' verdict. Media Board then appointed me, the managing new edit r, to the position of acting Edi tor-in-Chief through the end of the semester. During j-terro, the posi tion will become open for app lica tions and Media Board will interview and hire spring semester's Editor-in-Chlef.

On Thanksgiving, We express gratitu d e for all of the wonderfu l things in our lives. Yel, jus t hours later, people tram p le each other in an effort to get even more things for which they can be thankful. Black F ri day has become an infamous day in our nation be<.:ause f i Ls mass crowds, do r-buster dea l s and its general repu tation for consumer cllaos. It seem s that i n the past years, the number of vi 1 nt incidents including de a th s - have increased greatly. Instead of Black Friday, it should be called The Shopplng every one Games, where volunteers as tributes and throws themselves in to th shopping arena La maul ach other to death in pursuit of getting the best price. Every yea r, there are reports of deaths or hospitalizations due t people's dete mination to " core the best deals. Thi s winter sp urge has reached new levels of insanity.

But beyond B l a ck Friday, there is this bizarre attitude toward the accumulation of 'Stuff' . It has b ecome a sort of event. People wait in line at superstores to get their CDs tl e moment they drop, wait outside for the new i Phone t become available and, of cou rse, wa i t in bated anticipation for sales to start. The culture of our society has rea ch ed new lows if sp en ding m n ey and getting more things ha become an aetu 1 pasti me . Perhaps this mea that we are simply impati nt to gel thal new thing. We are, a fter all, the society of immed i a te gratification, One would th ink that we would be sa tisfied with our 'Stuff' by now, ra ther than this bizarre quest for mor and more lhings. Perh aps we could be happy with what we ha ve. However, as w too ften judge a person' s worth based on their material status, it is I gical tha t we would feel driven to pend like there is no tomorrow. It do s not seem there IS one perfect, easy solution to something like this beyond changing Ule men tality in America. And the nly way to change that mentality i to reject it, which does not seem to be happenin anytime soon. We hav� an ec onomy based on consumption, thus we have a society based on

Changing Mentality: While 61a �k fnday is typically seen as a day o(e. cessive pending, there have been a number ot movements to ha n ge where that ;pe� ding goes. Sm � l1

No merger i p erfect but I have been impIessed by the drastic cbange that Mast TV has gone through over the last 6 months. I have never seen so many enthusiastic students who. are excited about learning video prod uction and editing. Even th ugh the semester is w in ding down and those of us that are lucky enough to bE! stu dents are preparing for finals, Mast TV still has a few things being uploade d . Last night was our last episode of Ne ws @ Nine and if you missed the live show be su re to check ur website to catch up. Over the last couple weeks Ra chel Di bel and Camille Adams have been working hard o.n creating a web series. TIle season premiere of "Outnumbered" will release online Dec. 3 on both Facebook and Youtube. Even though you might not see much of us during J-term, we will be working hard with The Mooring Mast to prepare and plan for the next semester. Together we will begin the process of developing, creating and exploring the many ideas and opportunities that are available to our joint organization. As is the normal order of things at a university, Mast TV will be losing our Multimedia Editor to the horrible monster that is graduation. Makenzie Landis originally encouraged me to work at KCNS and as a previous general manager she has provided constant support over the years. The amount of work that Makenzie has done for the station and student media as a whole has made her irreplaceable and she will be missed. As sad as we are to lose Makenzie, we are excited to announce that the position of Multimedia Editor will be open for the next semester. 1 £ anyone is interested in that position r in working with video production of any kind pI ase feel free to contact me at either my personal email or at masttv@plu. edu for more information. For more information about Mast Student Television visit our website at h ttp://www. plLJ.e d u/ rna ttv or like our F acebook page for updates. As things continue to change and evolve I encourage an� one who has interest in working in student media to re ach out to. Jessica Trondsen or mysel f and we will do our best to d i rect y u to your area of interest WhCUl r it be ;oumaH m, vidcll production, photography or online editing. We will listen to any ideas you have. This is your student media. Take this opportunHy and m ake it what y u want it to be.

Conlrary to popu la r belief, 1 am not perfect I leep in past my alann occasiona lly, an awkward combination there 1 of dean and dirty laundry covering my bedroom floor - I beli v e the re is a carpet somewhere und�meath the chaos - and apparently I'm no extraordinaire at predicting athletic ev en t either. When I attempt to foresee how a game will end, 1 think about all the

variables. I ask myself, who is pitching? Where is the ga me all lsn' t that running back

injured? But after my poor showing this fall) I am considering a new method for fo recasting games - flipping a coin. On Sept. 28, r previewed what J believed WOt ld be the five m u st-see spo rting events of the fall. Let's see how I did .

l . University. of Qregon at Southem Ca'hfomla

In September, I said this game would be a preview of the Pac-12 C ampionship Game. When the two teams played Nov. 3, the Trojans already had two conference

losses. The game simply provided a road challenge for the Ducks. Th re was no foreshad owing . i ncorrectAdding insult t prediction-induced injury, I said USC's senior quarterback, Matt B arkley, would end the Ducks National Title hope s, d 'feating Oregon in one of his last hom games ever. Barkley did not even suit up for the game because of an injury. Oregon won the game 62-51. I did manage to predict the game would be a sh o tout, but I think most of the country foresaw that as well.

2. Rams-Seahawks series [ sai the Seahawks would struggle wilh the Rams Sept. 30 in St. Louis but pull ou t a victory. 1 was partially

correct.

Seahawk's quarterback Russell Wilson co m pleted the ball three fmes to St. Louis defensive backs and Seattle fell l3-19. Th two teams meet again Dec. 30 in Seattle, and I said Seattle would cruise into the playoffs and land the Rams a top five draft pick. At 6-5, the playoffs are a question mark for the Seahawks. At 4-6-1, it appears the Rams will avoid a top five draft selection.

3. Apple Cup

I said there was pote ntial that the Cougars w ou l d finish bowl eligible this season. A college football t am

mu st

finish with at least six wins to be considered bowl eligible. The Cougars finished the season 3-9. One of those wins was over Washington, Saturday. I said Washington's offense would be too much for the Cougar defense. Washington State shut down the Huskies, who arguably played their worst game of the s as n.

4. Civil War Let's be honest. Nob dy thought Oregon State was going to knock off Oregon. So J got this one right. [ eve predicted the game would be close at the half before the Ducks poured it on late. Oregon State trailed 20-1 0 going into the locker r om, hut fell 24-48. However, I said the winner of the game would likely be going to the Rose Bowl. At no. 4 in the nation, the Ducks aren't even going to the Pac-12 Championship game. Stanford and UCLA will enjoy that opportunity instead. The Ducks are likely headed to a BCS bowl nonetheless.

5 . MLB playoffs 1 said the Texas Rangers were going to beat the Atl ant a Braves in the World

Series. After a I a le season collapse, the Rangers were forc d to pla y in the wildcard game a no lost 5-1 to Baltimore. TI,eir playoffs were ver before they started. With a controversial infield fly call marring its playoff appearance, the Braves also lost the wildcard game later that same day. When I wo e up the morning of Oct. 5, my World Serle predictio was witl'tin the realm of possibility. When I wenl to bed that night - it was smashed.

Moving on I clearly had pr blems p re dicting ouicomes this fall, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop forecasting.

The law of averages says I'm going to have a good spring. Right? Shoup Shots and The Mooring Mast are taking a break until the end of J-term, so I will wish you luck predicting the college bowls this season. May you fare better than I have this fall.

Dalton Ritchey PL.U quarterback record: 8-3

Ritchey was the most underrated p articipant this year. He started the season 0-3 and correctly picked the final eight games. Maybe he just ran out of time. Or maybe he just enjoys having three losses - the PLU football team finished 7-3 this year.

Geoff /"oomis men 's baseball coach record: 7- 4

Loomis was arguably one Michael Vick concussion from winning a co-championship. He can fill the void in the spring when the baseball team begins its season.

Seahawk one though, like a real Washingtonia n would.

She could do no wrong. Eventually. In the first pick of the seaso , McDaniel picked the Broncos ov r the Falcons in Peyton Manning's return to Mon day Night Football. The Broncos fe!l 27-21. 1n the second pick of the season, McDaniel picked Green Bay over Seattle. You may call it the Fail Mary game, but the Packers, and McDaniel, were robbe of a victory in a 14-1 2, Seahawks win. l<ollowing the Seattle game, McDaniel correctly guess d nine games in a row. McDaniel the finished J

season 9-2. Over that same II-week span, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter went 7-4. Every week, McDaniel had the most animated picks. "I PICK THE PANTH ERSSSSSSSSSSSSS," she said in her email submission last week. These emails and other variations of it were constants throughout the season. Maybe it was her excitement that won her The Mooring Mast Monday Night Football pick' em championship. Maybe it was d� vout research for each game. Maybe it was pure l u ck. Either way, she is the first Post Sunday Society champion ever.

On Oct. 5, Hagensen sat at 1-2, and I said take note because she

would not have a losing record the rest of the way. Had the Eagles won Monday, Hagensen would have shared the conference title.

Some people simply can't handle the pressure. Sitting in first place at 6-1 Oct. 29, Gutierrez incorrectly picked the next three weeks before correctly picking Carolina Monday.

Dickerson finishes in a tie for sixth place in the Post Sunday Society, but he wins the best facial hair award outright. Although, it's wtlikeJy McDaniel and Hagensen would have fought for that award. Despite Lance's love for the sp otlight, he hovered arotUld . sOD the whole season, never re, lfy mustering any momentum or attention. Hopefully the unimpressi e finish does not carry over to his performances at basketball games this winter.
