crisscrossing Science Episode 110: Electile Dysfunction
No full textIn this episode, Mike Crosser (professor of physics at Linfield University) and Chad Tillberg (professor of biology at Linfield University) invite Chuck Dunn (professor of mathematics at Linfield University) back into the studio to discuss voting systems and which ones are the fairest, from a mathematical point of view

Gene Manley Interview
No full textThis interview is an oral history conducted by Rich Schmidt with Gene Manley. This interview took place at Linfield University on February 28, 2020.
The interview was conducted as part of Linfield University\u27s project celebrating the 65th anniversary of The Streak. Linfield\u27s football team has not had a losing record in a season since 1955, an unprecedented run of success. These interviews are with people who contributed to the 1956 Linfield team that won the conference championship and began The Streak.
Linfield team working on this project include: Matthew Hodges (\u2706), Rich Schmidt, Kevin Curry (\u2792), Mike Lempner, Kiana Anderson (\u2720), and Zell Burke (\u2723)
Weather and Climate Summary and Forecast: January 2020 Report

Soil Chemistry and Ground Cover in Urban Forests
No full textIn 1993, I began doing research at 25 permanent study plots in Forest Park in Portland, Oregon. In 2003 and 2013, I found high mortality of trees in Forest Park including seedlings and saplings (recruitment). To determine if the lack of recruitment was an urban phenomenon, I added three control sites in the Mount Hood National Forest in 2013. Significantly lower numbers of young trees were found in the urban forest than at rural sites. In 2015, I found deeper O horizons, higher C/N ratios, and higher levels of soil respiration at more rural sites. Last summer we collected soil samples at all sites to test for a wider range of elements. We are still processing the soil samples so they can be analyzed and will send them to the Central Analytical Laboratory at OSU later this semester to test for calcium, magnesium, and aluminum, in addition to carbon and nitrogen. To better quantify impacts of urbanization on the forest, we also measured ground cover by herbaceous plants and shrubs, downed woody debris, and canopy cover at all sites.
We found significantly deeper O horizons, higher rates of soil respiration, and lower levels of electroconductivity (EC) at rural sites than at urban sites. We believe changes to the soil may be related to the lack of recruitment in urban forests and are looking forward to getting the chemical data back from OSU later this spring to see if there are any differences among locations relative to urbanization. We also will be analyzing the other data we collected. The herbaceous data will be especially interesting. A major die-off of sword ferns has been noticed in the Pacific Northwest, and comparing the data we collected last summer to that previously collected will help determine if the die-off has spread to the Portland area

Artist\u27s Statement This exhibit explores spaces that are not clearly defined. I look to convey images (as well as the entire gallery space) that contain and hold power that is difficult to put a finger on. The concept seems simple--find inspiration and get on the PATH. Traveling from theory to practice however, generally involves uncertainty and change. The direction is bound to deviate.
I attempt to inspire awe with my art. I cultivate a bold imagination, and I am always open to breaking the rules. The struggle, frequently, is to say enough but not too much. Intelligence appears within the materials and the moment. I attempt to listen and to be a channel. I undulate and move through space as does the SKY. I listen and pause until the moment is right. I begin with very little direction regarding images. Observation followed by questions. Answers eventually arrive and I feel as if I am a small boy making a new discovery. If I listen close enough and/or long enough I am moved as if I was in a DREAM.
I enjoy the process. Depending on the media, I sometimes work with deconstructed and reconstructed images, organic lines and forms. Carving requires time and is extremely physical. Painting can happen in a moment. Additive and/or subtractive treatments become very fluid. The challenges and rewards are unimaginable.
Being a maker is central to my core and I find it incredibly necessary for life. Working in a variety of media is a great way to inform ourselves about abilities, strong points or weaknesses. In this exhibit I am exploring painting and ceramics which are both new twists for me. As for “next moves,” I would also like to try weaving and dying natural materials.
I hope this show encourages students (and we’re all students) who struggle to find their voice, or who do not yet understand just how much freedom we have as artists.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/arts_path/1002/thumbnail.jp
