Nothing beats a good old fashioned Girl Scout cookie. Not only are they delicious but the proceeds go to a great program for young girls.

March 5, 2018
There are famously more guns in the United States than there are people. Implementing effective gun control in the United States is a daunting task. However, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try and it doesn’t mean that nothing can be done about the increasingly common mass shootings that...
Editorial: Make prospective students feel welcome
Review Editorial Board
March 5, 2018
The first Spring Visit Day of the month, March 12, for prospective students and their parents is fast approaching. Current Linfield students tend to sigh loudly at the mention of large tour groups walking slowly around campus and extra cars taking the already limited number of parking spaces. It’s...

March 5, 2018
Though it may seem that life at Linfield starts at the library and ends at Pioneer, there is a whole world of adventure that awaits outside of the campus boundaries.

Kendrick and co. slay ‘Black Panther’ soundtrack
Emma Knudson, Staff writer
March 5, 2018
Mastering a movie soundtrack such that it can exist as a standalone piece and buoy a film is a difficult feat. Too many soundtracks are so intertwined with the film that listening to it without the accompanying scenes to support it feels disjointed. It’s almost like eating spaghetti sauce without...

Tensions are rising here at Linfield – we’re in a budget crunch, enrollment is down, the price of higher education is rising – but this is exactly the time we need to band together in solidarity, not create meaningless divisions that will only serve to weaken us.

February 19, 2018
As a child, I was fascinated by olympians and the entire concept of the Olympics. In my young mind, the Olympics were the Royal World Championships for only a chosen few badasses for every sport ever made, even sports I never knew were considered sports—horse-back riding? Curling?

Valentine’s Day is here, and whether you find yourself dating, single, wanting to express your platonic or unrequited love to a friend, or you simply do not love the not-so-subtle capitalistic subtexts of this day, there are multiple ways to recognize Cupid’s Holy Day. This year, regardless of w...
What to do with the old bookstore
Angel Rosas, Staff Writer
February 13, 2018
Losing the original book store came as a surprise for most of us. However, what makes the move so interesting is all the possibilities for the open room. Whether or not you love or hate the new one-stop-shop bookstore you can't deny that having an empty room waiting for construction at the very least peaks your...
