Campus Calendar.........12

By Dallas Callahanof The Pathfinder

Student government stresses the issue of student involvement- or lack thereof- and small numbers present at the ASLCSC Senate Forums showcased this fact.

The annual ASLCSC Forums took place on Wednesday, April 6, and Thursday, April 7 in the SUB. Candidates took the stage and where asked questions by students about the LCSC campus and community, and what they were planning to do about issues.

One of the most prominent discussion pieces was the shortage of student involvement in ASLCSC, and on campus in general. Several of the candidates presented ideas on how to fix this, including turning Warrior Wednesday back into an ASLCSC centered platform, where students can communicate openly with student government.

“I think if we can get the exposure up and make it [Warrior Wednesday] more interactive, then that will help rebuild it.” Said Sean Cumpton, running for ASLCSC Vice President.

Freebies were also suggested.“I think what we need is

more initiative, like free things.” Presidential candidate, Leana DeMasters said, “College students run when there’s free food or free prizes, that sort of thing, so maybe if we did like a raffle, small and cheap, then students would be more willing to come.”

There was also the issue of communication. Students don’t feel as though they are informed enough about events that are going on. Andrew Baron, running for Senator, suggested an information Kiosk in the SUB. It was brought up that there already is an information calendar in the SUB.

“The calendar is never updated,” one LCSC student in attendance said. The student government will be working on having better communication with the student body about issues and events in the coming year, with more advertisements around campus and articles in The Pathfinder.

ASLCSC has also changed its Constitution.

“One of the reasons that we did a new Constitution for next year is so that we could downsize it [ASLCSC meetings] and make it possibly once a week instead of twice a week, which ups the importance, which makes it more

action packed at each meeting so that we accomplish more,” Cumpton said. “It would also make it more interesting for the students that do show up.”

From these forums, the awareness of the issues and student

concerns has been heightened. Elections for ASLCSC Senate will be today, April 13, and tomorrow, April 14, in the SUB Solarium and Sam Glenn from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Pathfinder policies

One week.One week until I’m in Las Vegas fulfilling one of my biggest dreams.

I can hardly believe that in seven days, I will be on a plane to a huge horseshow to compete in barrel racing with my little mare. It seems so surreal.

I’ve been counting down for about 40 days now, and when my calendar dinged this morning, only seven more days, it all hit me. This is really happening. I’m going to ride in one of the nicest facilities in the country against some of the toughest competitors of the West in my division.

I can’t wait!

Dallas Callahan

We near the end, of the school year that is. The time is flying faster than I could ever imagine.

Was it not just February, and did March even happen? As the weather warms up, I’m more tempted to spend my days outside enjoying the sun by Doks, playing volleyball by T-Hall, or taking trips to the Chestnut Beach. There are a ton of events coming up on campus like a comedian, the dance and of course, the Dogwood Festival. Campus is beautiful and I love seeing everyone spending time outside. After all those cold months and rain, I was practically dancing to spend time in the sun again. I always forget how happy spring really makes me. When I walk outside in the morning, it puts a spring in my step (pun kind of intended). The smell of the air, even though I have pollen allergies, is still one of my favorite smells in the whole world.

Basically what I’m saying is, I’m kind of sunburned and the pollen in the trees is making me sneeze about 1,000 times a day, but I’ve never been happier to have a sunburn and sinus issues.

OpiniOn

By Andrew Baronof The Pathfinder

There’s been a lot of talk about reforming the mental health system and the way that this country handles the use of illegal drugs lately. From being even tougher on organized crime, to new forms of justice administration like the drug courts, or legalizing marijuana there seems to be no end in sight to the problems that our society faces while dealing with drugs and trying to help those who struggle with addiction.

If you are caught using an illegal substance in the United States as well as much of the world, more often than not you will be offered the possibility of treatment, from addiction counseling services to receiving medications to help with withdrawal. These are

usually offered as well as or in place of prison time or parole, with jail time being much more likely for a simple possession of marijuana charge than driving under the influence. In fact, while many state-level ‘three strike laws’ mandate multi-decade jail sentences for repeat drug offenders, a triple DUI will only net you a mandatory 10 day sentence under Idaho law.

However, given the damaging role that alcohol plays in much of criminal behavior, there seems to be no similar discussion on how to deal with America’s secret criminal crisis: driving under the influence. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, two in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime and costs $132 million dollars a year in damage to roads, court fees, and other expenses

related to crashes that taxpayers end up picking up the tab for. The cost of alcoholism elsewhere in our society is staggering, with the Centers for Disease Control estimating that up to $249 billion dollars a year are lost to excessive alcohol consumption.

These costs far exceed any of the other harms associated with illegal drugs, so why are we compelling drug addicts into treatment and jailing them when up to three quarters of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive on a suspended or revoked license? While this might be a complex problem the answer seems to be simple: we need to align drug and alcohol policy. It’s time we stop giving alcohol a free pass, and compel alcoholics into the same treatments and punishments that we compel other drug users into.

Alcoholics are addicts too

We typically think of marshmallows as a store bought bag of sugary, super fluffy goodness often associated with campfires and s’mores. Yum! But, what if I told you marshmallows were actually used as medicine?

In ancient Egypt, they combined sap from the roots of a special plant with honey and enjoyed it as a medicinal candy. It helped with respiratory diseases from a soar throat to asmtha, and gastro-intestinal issues such as

stomach ulcers. The pink-flowered plant is native to salt marsh environments; hence the name “marsh mallow”. Some how, this ancient “candy of the gods” made to to France where they altered the recipe. The French added sugar and egg whites and whipped the sap into fluff. Today, mallow sap is generally replaced by gelatin because it is more readily available and has a much longer shelf life than egg whites.

Marshmallow sap also contains lauric acid (contributes to a healthy immune system), which is found in breast milk and is one

of the reasons coconut products have become so popular among the health and wellness world. So basically, real marshmallow is incredibly good for you! ….that is, if you can find it. If your mouth is watering for a light, fluffy treat you can feel good about, I happen to know where you can find the real thing. I make them (which explains my ridiculous knowledge of marshmallows)!

Staff Report

Students, staff and faculty of Lewis-Clark State College are going to host the Fourth Annual Art of Giving food drive and matching fundraiser hold in conjunction with the Art Under the Elms festival during the 32nd Dogwood Festival.

What has been dubbed the “Send Hunger Packing” campaign is an annual event that collects food and money for several Lewiston and Asotin food banks, including this year the Asotin County Food Bank, the Community Action Partnership, St. Vincent de Paul, The Roc – Rescue Mission, and the YWCA.

Last year the diverse campus groups making up the Art of Giving, with the help of matching funds, raised $1450 and approximately 1500 lbs. of

food.The Art of Giving is a way

for people to have fun while helping out the local food drive by either voting on their favorite can sculpture created by several campus clubs for a penny or entering a drawing for a basket of prizes for a dollar or two food drive items. In recent years clubs have created sculptures of a voting booth with a Lego White House on top, a copy of the Valley of the Kings, a giant bridge, and the LC logo.

This year, a variety of clubs including the Political Science Club, the Anthropology Club, Social Work, Engineering, and the Green Team are at it again. In addition to raising funds and cans during the festival, the Art of Giving volunteers, coordinated by coordinated by AmeriCorps VISTA members serving at LCSC,

will also collect food from the LC Valley community, especially the Normal Hill area around campus, on April 15 and 16.

During the festival, April 22nd to 24th the Art of Giving Committee will have a tent out on the LCSC campus lawn just in front of the college library near the administration building.

Death is Near, Life is StrangeWhen Death is nearAnd you find no escapeYou will realize thenThat you’re just mere bait

Bait that has been usedOnly to be once more abusedTo be tossed outAnd never found out

Life is a strange thingBoth worth gold and worthlessBoth lively and lifelessSo meaningful and timeless

Strange how such things can be trueTo be glad and filled with solemn doomTo be let doneAnd never be found

To ponder things we know notAnd ignore what we know littleOnly makes one’s mind brittleAnd tangles us in a knot

When Death is nearAnd Life is strangeRemember that nothing is a cageAnd the darkness can tear

By Hannah Mitchellof The Pathfinder

Some things in life are supposed to remain true. Birds are supposed to have feathers, parents are supposed to love their children, and love is supposed to mean something.

For Nat, these truths have never really been true. When he was born, his mother wrapped him in a large sweater and left him under a tree in the woods. His father skipped town, never to be seen again. The only reason Nat is alive is because of the man who found him under that tree, purely by accident, while hunting ducks.

Catherine Ryan Hyde’s, “When I Found You” weaves a poignant tale about a young man struggling to trust and rediscover the meaning of love and family.

After Nat is rescued by the hunter, Nathan McCann, is sent to live with his grandma. This should’ve been the

bittersweet end to a tragic tale, but Nat grows up sullen and cynical until his grandma throws up her hands in defeat and drops him off at Nathan’s house. Now Nat

has officially been abandoned by his last blood relative.

Nathan McCann finds himself acting as the guardian of a teenage delinquent with a blunt outlook

on life: everyone lies and everyone leaves, and there’s no sense in letting yourself trust anybody. The only way to live is to look out for yourself and fight.

Nathan takes on the challenge, standing by Nat through thick and thin, even when it puts his marriage in jeopardy. Hyde’s intense style brings all of the emotions to life vividly. From Nat’s anger and denial as he struggles to learn how to trust people again, to Nathan’s regret and self-doubt as he wrestles to find a real purpose to his life. Over the years, both begin to truly understand the definition of family. Hyde is truly the master of bittersweet realism.

Are you willing to risk losing a game in order to move one step closer to the goal or gain a few more points? Are you willing to play it cool and fall back at the first chance you get? These are just some of the choices many of our fellow students have to face every three weeks or so. Do you go low risk and ok-ish reward, or go high-risk and maybe get ahead of everyone else? Several hours’ worth of frustration and personal dilemma…that’s also full of laughter, fun, and a chance to relax for everyone (hey, that rhymed…kind of).

That’s right, last Thursday, the second-to-last Game Night for the semester took place in the Student Union Building. A night where nearly any board game you can image is available to play, whether the game is an old favorite of yours, one you never heard of, or one you heard of from a friend or from watching the TableTop series on YouTube.

For last week’s Game Night, I was able to play two fun games I had never even heard of before and were fun to play. The first was Dimensions, a game where players earn points by stacking balls on top of each other in order to gain points. After playing six rounds, the player with the most points wins. The more balls you stack, the more points you get at the end of the round. There is a pretty being catch to this however. At the start of each round, cards are drawn that show what the players can and can’t do when stacking the balls. For each rule a player breaks, he/she loses two points. With different rules being added each round, it quickly became a game of wit, what combination gave you the best outcome, rather than a game of trying to stack as much as possible.

The second game was Can’t Stop, a game far more straightforward than most other board games where you have to test your luck. Players must roll four dice and choose two combinations from what they

rolled in order to move up to three out of the eleven columns on the board, with the columns being numbered 2 through 12. This isn’t one of those “roll 8, move 8 spaces” type of game; the numbers a player rolls tell he/she which column they are moving their figures on. So if you rolled a combination that made a two and an eight, you could move your figure one space up the number two column and another one of your figures one space up the number eight column. You can roll as much as you like, but if you are unable to make a combination for the columns you have your figures on the board, then you lose all your progress and have to start over when it’s your turn again.

There were tons of other games that were at last week’s Game Night, including Batman themed Love Letters and Sushi Roll. The next Game Night will take place Apr. 28 in the downstairs of the SUB, and will be the last one for the semester.

Game Night brings students together

By Amanda Wallaceof The Pathfinder

Once upon a time, in a land far away, when the new generations of boybands were burning up the charts, Joe Jonas and his brothers were still together in the famous Jonas Brothers. Now Joe Jonas is in another band. There is this phenomenon called the Timberlake Paradigm that was created when NSYNC broke up back in the early ‘00s. This is when members of a previous boy band leave the group to pursue a solo career (i.e.) Justin Timberlake, Nick Jonas, Zayn Malik and now Joe Jonas. The middle Jonas has decided to follow in his younger brother’s footsteps and created a career outside of the Jonas Brothers.

This is where the group DNCE was born and formed. DNCE is a band that Joe started with his three closet friends: Jack Lawless, JinJoo Lee, and Cole Whittle. They released their first song, “Cake by the Ocean,” which is definitely a treat for your ears. The catchy tune makes it easy to get stuck in your head. Not only are the lyrics are catchy, but the

dance-rock-disco-funk sound definitely leaves you craving for more.

‘Swaay’ has four songs on the album, since it’s just a debut album to see how the fans would react to the band’s music. The first song, “Cake by the ocean” offers an upbeat bass line and a good steady upbeat from the drums, plus catchy lyrics. “Pay My Rent” offers a stone funk and torch song throb and it is one of those songs that you can be cleaning to. Throughout the album, they offer this sugary beat that could be a dentist’s enemy when you go in for a cleaning. Luckily enough, DNCE thought about that since one of their songs is called “Toothbrush.” Although, it’s not actually about brushing your teeth. It’s about leaving your toothbrush at someone’s place in the morning. However, don’t “Jinx” yourself by thinking that they don’t have a power ballad thump to a whimsical kazoo riff.

So, do eat cake by the ocean, pay your rent on time, leave a toothbrush at someone’s place, but don’t jinx yourself.

DNCE’s EP is now available on iTunes.

Can you lead your people through the turmoil of history? Can you lead a nation through the ages, through its challenges? Can you bring your country out of the many crises and have it exist through a never ending Golden Age? Can you build a civilization that can stand the test of time? These are the questions you must answer when playing Sid Meier’s “Civilization V.”

“Civilization V”, or “Civ V” for short, is a turn-based strategy game that first came out in 2010 and, as you can probably guess from the name, is the fifth game in the Sid Meier’s “Civilization” game series. In the “Civilization” games, you, the player, must choose a civilization in which to lead throughout the ages, through thick and thin, and maybe even nuclear holocaust (depending on if Gandhi gets the nukes first).

At the start of the game, you get to decide what civilization you want to play, with each civ having its own unique abilities and/or buildings, or units; Russia getting double the amount of strategic resources within its borders, Mongolia being able to have Khan instead of the average military general, and Zulus being able to become w o r l d - c o n q u e r i n g warmongering b*st*rds are just a few examples.

Because of their different abilities, each civ has its own playing style; Zulus

and the Aztecs (d*nm no good @#%*&$#!) are aggressive civs that aim to gobble as many other civs as fast as possible, while Morocco and Venice prefer to get rich through the trade routes and buy influence. Each civ is also represented by an important leader from its history, such as Washington for USA, nuke-crazy Gandhi for India, and Haile Selassie I for Ethiopia.

To win the game, that is if you didn’t quit because of a poor start, civilization must compete to meet the requirements for at least one of the five different victories: conquest, science, culture, diplomacy, or points. As such, you can win pretty much any way you want, whether it be by having your armies marching through the capital of the last civ that dared to defy you, launching a spaceship in order to colonize new worlds, being more hipster than everyone else, or convincing everyone that your civ should be the world leader.

As you can probably guess, I am a big fan of the “Civ V,” and I have played WAY too much of it.

There is one issue that I have with it, although it doesn’t really stem from gameplay. If you buy the game, make sure you get both of the expansion packs. The reason for this is that it makes “Civ V” a lot more re-playable and gets rid of some of the problems I had with the original game, such as always “forcing” the player to go to war in order to succeed. Each of the expansions greatly changes the game, with Gods and Kings adding religion and trade and Brave New World adding Ideologies and those pesky Zulus.

This, however, means that it will cost you a lot of money. The Complete Edition of the game, which you can find on the website Steampowered.com, is around $50. Might not sound like much, especially since you would be buying $150 worth of content for a third of the price, but considering that we are all poor starving college students, that fifty dollar bill can buy a whole lot of ramen instead.

From founding your civ’s first city to leading your civilization to a glorious game ending victory,

“Civilization V” lets you lead your civ, even if it takes forever

See Videogame, page 9

you gain a new experience each time you play “Civ V.” Just be forewarned, if you get the game, you will be spending HOURS playing it, and the phrase “one

more turn” will become your new saying. With all that being said, are you now ready to make a civilization that can stand the test of time?

Meeting on April 21- it will take place downtown at the Earth Day Celebration, not the normal meeting room in

the SUB.


The Lewis-Clark State College athletic department will hold auditions for national anthem singers and musicians on Thursday, April 21 to perform during the 60th annual Avista-NAIA World Series on May 27-June 2.

The tryouts, held at LCSC’s Harris Field at 4:30-6 p.m., are free and open to the public, and winners and participants from previous years are encouraged to audition again. Performers do not need to register ahead of time.

At the event all contestants will be asked to fill out a brief information sheet before either singing or playing the United States national anthem. Singers

will perform without music, unless accompanied by musicians.

Various College officials will serve as judges, and contestants will be informed of the judges’ decisions the following week.

Some performers who are not selected to sing during the Series may be invited to perform at LCSC home athletic events during the 2016-17 school year.

Those interested simply need to show up between 4:30-6 p.m. Contestants must know the words to the national anthem and be able to sing in front of as many as 5,000 people at an NAIA World Series game.

For more information or if someone is interested but can’t make the allotted time, please contact Zach Shore at 208-792-2289or [email protected]
