Members of the LCSC Justice Studies Club and members of the LCSC Political Science Club met with state lawmakers as part of a joint field-trip to Boise Mar. 25 and 26. In addition to meeting

with Idaho Supreme Court Justice Eiseman and discussing his work with court reforms, students met with Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney, who talked about campaign finance reform and the transition to non-partisan office. Students were also able to meet with our local representatives, Senator Dan

Johnson and Minority Leader Dr. John Rusche to discuss some of the bills being considered in Boise. They rounded the trip off with a tour of the Old Idaho Penitentiary, which now serves as a historical museum, and ride-alongs with local police departments.

Sailesh the Hypnotist is making you very, very sleepy...

By Billye Dotsonof The Pathfinder

In his hand Sailesh held a sleep gun. This wasn’t a normal gun. It doesn’t harm and it doesn’t kill. All it’s going to do is, put you to…. “Sleep.” In his hand Sailesh held the power to put his victims back to sleep within a matter of seconds, one by one like a chain of hypnotized dominoes. In his voice Sailesh held the power to make his volunteers on stage believe a belt was a live snake, believe they were some very unique superheroes, and twerk on stage. It only got more obscene, ridiculous and hilarious from there.

MTV Europe has named Sailesh “The Best Hypnotist on the Planet,” and he also has several nominations for America’s Best Campus Entertainer of the Year under his belt. He has received roaring laughter with his comedic hypnotist act all over the world, and LCSC was no different for him. The Silverthorne Theater was packed full on Mar. 23, and there was no shortage of volunteers

ready to be the stars of the show. Sailesh made a spectacle of the LC students who volunteered, as they danced, performed guitar solos, played the drums on their fellow student’s butts, greeted aliens on Earth, and pretended the chairs they sat on were their new lovers. You had to see it to believe it, and seeing it was side-splitting, get your phones ready to video this, hilarious.

It’s here and then it’s gone. Spring break never seems to last long enough. You’re anticipating

it for weeks, then all of a sudden, it’s Sunday night and back to school and the real world Monday morning. The good news is, only six weeks left!

The rest of the semester will fly by and then it’s sweet summer time. Some will be moving on to full-time jobs, some will have summer school, and others will take the time to travel or relax.

Whatever you do, try to make the most of your time and do things that make you happy, because, what else is there in this world?

Dallas Callahan

If you are anything like me, you spent your Spring break stress-procrastinating.

1. Stress-procrastinate (verb): to watch Netflix, scroll Instagram countless times or otherwise waste time even though you know you have important homework or work to do. Instead of procrastinating with ease, you do so stressfully, with your daunting work looming in the back of your mind.

That is essentially all I did the entire break. Do some homework. Take an undeserved break to watch Netflix. Stress about all the homework I still had left. Repeat. At least it snowed while I was home so that the outside world had no chance of taunting me and tempting me to forget about all of my homework. Perhaps some of you had a similar Spring break experience to me, but for your sake I hope you spent it procrastinating regularly with no worries in the world.

Senate SummaryMeeting held Mar. 22, 2016


Senator Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton at the Nez Perce county Democratic Caucus, scoring 9 of 3 delegates for the county, with a voting tally of around 400 (Sander) to 150 (Clinton). The caucus was held at Jennifer Jr High School in Lewiston on Mar. 22 with over five hundred in attendance. Nez Perce County was one of many caucuses across the state, with the caucus in Ada county breaking national records for the number of caucusers in Boise.

Even before the day of the caucus supporters had lined up across the Boise State University campus to attend the Sanders rally at the Taco Bell Arena. College students, Vietnam War veterans and even labor unions, all turned out to support Sanders and a

petition to “Get Big Money Out of Politics” was also circulating among the awaiting rally goers.

All counties except Lewis county sent more delegates to Boise for Sanders than Clinton.

Results from Idaho totaled 78% for Sanders and the remainder for Clinton. Idaho will now send its 23 delegates-- 18 in favor of Sanders and 5 for Clinton-- onto the national convention in Philadelphia this July, where a candidate will be officially given the national party’s nomination.

Utah joined Idaho in favoring Sanders, while Clinton swept to victory in Arizona. Clinton still maintains a lead over Sanders with 1712 to Sanders’ 1011. However, with 2382 delegates required for either to claim victory, and 712 super delegates who could change their vote at any time, the likely winner is still impossible to call.

PATHFINDER.NEWSPAPER.9

By Amanda Wallaceof The Pathfinder

Have you ever read a book that you fell absolutely in love with and will always keep close to your heart? Have you ever heard that book was going to be turned into a movie or TV series, making you feel wary and desperate for the producers not

to ruin your favorite book? It’s something that’s happened time and time again. For me, this was the case with the “Mortal Instruments” series. When they announced they were making a TV series based on the books, I was disinterested to say the least. I have been let down by so many book to movie/TV adaptations. Often, they stray from the books, leaving out important events or details from the book. On the other hand, it keeps alive the books that I so dearly love, giving

me a chance to live them in a new way.

At first, I had this love/hate relationship with the idea of watching the new “Mortal Instruments” TV series, since I’d read the books back in high school. I didn’t want to get let down with another TV where they change the pace on the plot or leave out a vital detail

or character. I wasn’t sure they could pull this off in a TV series. When it aired in Jan. and as the series progressed, I was proved extremely wrong and I’m happy I can admit that.

If you haven’t read the “Mortal Instruments” series here’s a quick rundown: “Shadowhunters” follows Clary Fray, who finds out that she comes from a long line of Shadowhunters—human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. When Clary’s mother is kidnapped she must team up with

three other Shadowhunters: Jace, Alec and Isabelle, as well as her mundane (human) best friend, Simon. They go on search for the Mortal Cup, which Valentine (the main villain) wants to use to raise the dead and gain superior power.

My first thought of the series after watching it was “this is cheesy and the acting is bad.”

Although I kept in mind that the first seasons of TV shows aren’t always that great, and so I decided to give it some time. Usually I have a rule: If the show hasn’t showed any progression or development by the fourth or so episode, I stop watching. It seems unfair, but you don’t want to watch a dying show that shows no signs of moving forward. It seemed as if I would have to stop watching this one, but fortunately I was proved wrong again. As the series continued, I saw a promise, a glimmer of hope, that I didn’t see in the movie

adaptation. It improved and got better, and even got renewed for a second season. “Shadowhunters” is fantasy based, but doesn’t lack in the humor, romance, mystery, epic female characters, or even some bromances.

“Shadowhunters” airs on Tuesday nights at 9 pm on FreeForm (ABC Family.) Get caught up on the series on http://freeform.go.com/shows/shadowhunters/episode-guide/season-01/01-the-mortal-cup

To better serve students who are interested in completing a degree in a more timely fashion, Lewis-Clark State College will roll out a number of enhancements to its summer programs this year, LCSC President J. Anthony Fernandez announced on Thursday.

Included in the overhaul is an 18.5 percent reduction in the summer cost per credit for the next two years. Instead of paying $307 per credit, which is LCSC’s standard rate for spring and fall, summer students will pay $250. Summer financial aid is also available for qualifying students.

“This is the latest of many initiatives to provide increased access to higher education,” said Fernandez, who saw Lewis-Clark State graduate a record number of students last spring. “LCSC

meets students where they are and helps them get to where they want to go.”

The college has also taken a close look at its summer curriculum and has worked to build a menu of courses which better matches the needs of summer students. Available summer classes now include a broad selection of general education courses, both lower and upper division, along with program courses offered by the business, education and kinesiology, humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, nursing and health sciences, and social sciences divisions.

“LCSC is committed to facilitating timely graduation of our students,” said Lori Stinson, LCSC provost and vice president for academic affairs. “The enhanced and stable selection of summer session courses supports students in completion of their programs of study. Summer

session also lends support to our high enrollment majors and facilitates a smoother transition for students transferring from state and regional community colleges.”

Courses are available in both online and traditional on-campus delivery formats. In the future, administrators say LCSC will look to expand summer offerings even further to include additional programs and divisions.

Open registration for summer begins April 15, though currently enrolled LCSC students can register during advanced registration April 11-14. Summer school is divided into four sessions with the first running from May 23 - June 20, the second from May 23 - July 18, the third from May 23 - Aug. 8, and the fourth from June 13 - Aug. 8. For more information or to register call 208-792-2210 or visit www.lcsc.edu/apply.

Four art exhibits from area students will open at the Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts & History, located at 415 Main Street, at 4 p.m. on Thursday. The exhibits feature the work of students from LCSC as well as local high schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools, and will be on display from March 24 - April 30.

The LCSC Student Exhibition presents the artwork of Lewis-Clark State College students working under the direction of professor Ray Esparsen, with pieces created during classes in fine arts, as well as the work of students of graphic communications professor Brian Kolstad.

The Regional Junior &

Senior High School Student Art Exhibition includes digital photography, printmaking, oils, charcoal, pastels, watercolor, mixed media, and more from area junior and senior high schools.

The Stephen Lyman Memorial Children’s Art Exhibit honors the late Stephen Lyman who passed away in 1996 after a hiking accident. Lyman was an artist and wildlife enthusiast who specialized in painting the most elusive moments in nature. This exhibit, a collection of artwork produced by elementary students of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley and surrounding areas, celebrates dogwoods and the great outdoors that Lyman loved.

The Grizzlies’ Art Program (GAP) Exhibit is a compilation of paintings done by students of Grantham Elementary in Clarkston during the after

school program led by local artist Dana Aldis. The nine-week project features paintings of the goldfinch.

The 2016 Student Exhibits are brought to the Center for Arts & History by sponsorship from Dr. William and Roena Mannschreck, LCSC Student Affairs, LCSC Graphic Communications, Charles and Diana Brown, and through grants from US Bancorp, the Idaho Commission on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Open Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., the gallery features free admission but donations are welcome. For more information about the exhibitions or to schedule a docent tour, visit www.lcsc.edu/cah or call 208-792-2243.

muSic review

By Amanda Wallaceof The Pathfinder

Everybody has that one album or song that they fall in love with and just play on repeat over and over again. It basically becomes your anthem, after all the times you’ve listened to it. For me, that song is “See You Again” by Charlie Puth, ft. Wiz Khalifa. This song played during the credits of the recent “Furious 7” that they dedicated to Paul Walker. It’s definitely one you might tear up over. The lyrics really hit home for me, and I’m sure many other people can relate.

Charlie Puth is an upcoming artist, who has made a considerable amount of hit songs after his collaboration with Khalifa on “See You Again.” His debut album, “Nine Track Mind” features many more collaborations including Meghan Trainor on his summer hit, “Marvin Gaye” and Selena Gomez on “We Don’t Talk Anymore.” Puth was first discovered on Youtube by Ellen DeGeneres. He was attending Berklee College of Music, studying to become a jazz pianist at the time he was discovered. He graduated a year ago, although he did change his focus from jazz to pop. He moved cross-country

from New Jersey to L.A. to pursue his career. He took some

chances and put himself out

there, and lucky for him “See You

Again” was a shot worth taking. The studio and Atlantic Records

were looking for a song that would fit Vin Diesel’s emotional send-off to Paul Walker, and Puth’s song was the perfect fit for them.

All of Puth’s songs on his debut album, “Nine Track Mind” have these deep-meaning messages that almost everyone can relate to. “We Don’t Talk Anymore” is about two exes who aren’t on speaking terms; they were once close and now they are nothing. Both people of the relationship in the song are still reminiscing about the times they had, trying to figure out what went wrong. This breakup song offers an upbeat track that could make anyone start to sway on the dance floor, with a breezy, tropical house beat. This really sets this breakup song apart from others of the past. Puth and Gomez’ voices blend so beautifully and magically together; it makes you yearn for the “what might’ve been.” The song gets you deeply involved and intrigued in the story behind it. The rest of the songs on the album are just as good, with rich, soulful pop, rock and R&B sounds and lyrics. Let’s just say, Charlie Puth has put a spell on the music industry.

“Nine Track Mind” is now available on iTunes, Spotify and shelves.

Lewis-Clark State College

Press Release

Over the last six seasons, the Lewis-Clark State College men’s basketball team won 134 games, made three trips to the NAIA National Tournament, won three Frontier Conference Regular Season Championships and two tournament titles. Every year Austin Johnson was on the sideline, but that will all change next season as the long-time Warriors assistant has been named the Head Coach at Corban University.

“There is no way to adequately express my gratitude for the past six years spent at Lewis Clark State College,” said Johnson. “I would like to thank Lewis Clark State and the LC Valley community for an amazing, life-changing 6 years. I was fortunate to work with unbelievable administrators, faculty, staff, and students. I would like to specifically thank Brandon Rinta for giving me an opportunity to grow as a person and as a coach. He was the best mentor I could have asked for as I developed my coaching career. I also thank every player that took a chance on us as we began building a great program at LC State and for their commitment and trust. The athletic administration allowed us to flourish and gave us every resource necessary to build a championship team. Thanks to everyone involved along the way.”

Johnson begins full time as the Corban men’s basketball coach on April 1. Thanks in large part to his recruiting efforts and guidance LCSC had a record setting season. Lewis-Clark State set program

marks for 3-point field goals made (370), 3-point field goals attempted (369), 3-point field goal percentage (.421) and points scored (2,985). The Warriors also won their first national tournament game in 12 years.

“I want to thank Austin for pouring his life into this program for the past six years,” said LC State Head Coach Brandon Rinta. “Who he is as a person and a coach is one of the big reasons we have been able to have some success over the last four years. All of us are extremely excited for the opportunity he has earned at Corban. We are going to miss him here, but he is more than ready to be a head coach. It was just a matter of time before he moved on to his own program.”

During his tenure as assistant and associate head coach, five players have earned NAIA All-American honors and numerous others have garnered All-Conference and All-Academic recognition.

“Austin Johnson will be a terrific head basketball coach at Corban University,” said LC Athletics Director Gary Picone. “His strong character qualities combined with his passion to coach and educate young people will be obvious from his first day on the job. He has made a significant contribution to the success of our men’s basketball program, and I expect he will make an immediate impact at Corban University.”

Before coming to LCSC, Johnson spent two years as a graduate assistant coach at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Ill. While with the Leathernecks, Johnson’s duties included film exchange, video editing,

As a fan of Borat and someone that couldn’t stand his previous film, “Bruno”, I was glad to see Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film “The Brothers Grimsby” redeem the comedian/director. A crazy web of plot twists and satire come together with cutting edge action scenes and fantastic performances by the film’s leads to make a solid, if at times too over- the-top, comedy-action romp across the globe.

Taken as a comedy, the film is a solid, but as an action movie the film does an even better job. New cinematographic techniques from drones to Go-Pro fight scenes were interspersed here and there and combined with a fantastic

showing by Mark Strong. The film was one of the most original action movies of the year. Best of

all, this perfectly captured action was interspersed by the antics of the protagonist, Knobby, played by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Most of the film is over the top comedy gold, in classic Baron Cohen style reminiscent of “The Ali G Show.” As Baron Cohen told Trevor Noah of the Daily

Show, the director took many of the absurd events in the film and simply “worked backwards”

from them. I won’t spoil those here, but needless to say the plot’s twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat and laughing right until the end. The plot took the film to a variety of beautiful locations as well, from the savanna to the streets of Chile.

However, there were a few points where the film did take things into gross territory, which I also won’t mention here. “The Brothers Grimsby”

is definitely not one to let the kids watch. However, if you love vulgar satirical humor, ridiculous plot twists, beautiful cinematography and a good adrenaline rush, the over-the-top parts are more than made up for by the rest of the film. 3.5/5 stars.

Released by Ubisoft back in Feb., “Far Cry Primal” is the successor in a long line of critically acclaimed action adventure games. As a prequel though, it turns the clock back a bit further than most prequels have. Set in the ancient land of Oros in 10,000 BC, the Montreal team at Ubisoft took some liberty in recycling map elements from Kyrat in “Far Cry 4,”, but did a good job of differentiating it from the previous game. In fact, the game play was so engaging that I barely even noticed as I swung, threw and jumped my way around Oros’s hills and forests.

The map was just not a priority in-game, as focusing on gathering all the flint and animal hide right in front of me filled most playtime. That and avoiding the constant hunting expeditions by packs of wolves and lone sabretooths kept me more than occupied. In 10,000 BC, you can be hunted by predators lurking in the shadows of your torch flame, trap mammoths and woolly rhinos in glacier capped gullies, wage intertribal warfare and even build your own village.

The gameplay is varied and

the constant crafting upgrades help keep the gameplay varied throughout the campaign. From fire bombs dropped by your pet owl to using the double bow to light villages on fire from a mile away, the only downside to the massive variety of weapons in the game is the non-stop gathering marathon that the later levels can become.

The campaign has a solid storyline, but in the end I feel little connection to any of the other characters in the village. Unlike “Far Cry 4,” the main downside

to Primal seems to be a heavier focus on the gameplay rather than storytelling. While vision quests with the village shaman Tensay do help fill in some of the gaps, and there is a rich back-universe in Oros, the story still feels superficial and tacked-on. Overall, the romp around 10,000 BC was well-worth the time and money I put into it though, and if you enjoyed previous “Far Cry” versions, then this is definitely one to pick up. 4/5 Stars.

Thinking like a Social Scientist: a 2 ½ hour workshop covering the logic of quantitative, qualitative, and interpretive methods

The scientific study of human action and society, or “social science,” is not just for scientists. Everyone studies action and society as part of normal life. We observe general patterns, which social scientists call “quantitative” methods. We construct historical explanations of why particular things happened, which social scientists call “qualitative” methods. We interpret social norms, practices and beliefs around us, which social scientists call “interpretive” methods. Researchers do these things especially explicitly and carefully, but their methods are still just the ways in which everyone thinks all the time. Thus “thinking like a social scientist” does not mean

becoming a stuffy academic. It just means becoming a more conscious thinker.

Many kinds of non-academic careers directly employ the methods of social-science research, though often they don’t realize it. For example, consider how police and policy-makers approach problems of crime. Police data-crunchers sort through lots of quantitative data to look for patterns of crime. Detectives act like qualitative researchers in trying to solve particular cases of crime. Criminal lawyers, activists and politicians act like interpretive social scientists when they ask questions like, “Why is this a crime? Is it a serious crime? Should it be a crime?”

This workshop on April 8 will be from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in SGC rm 204, and it introduces students to these different modes of thinking in everyday life, and shows how “thinking like a social scientist” can sharpen our thinking for a variety of contexts.

Jacob Zanon drove in seven runs and helped the Lewis-Clark State College baseball team pound out 29 hits as the Warriors swept a doubleheader from Oregon Institute of Technology for the second straight day with 18-3 and 5-2 victories on Sunday.

The sweep moves LCSC to 30-5 on the season and 16-3 in NAIA West play, while Oregon Tech falls to 2-18 and 11-28 overall. The sweep also helps LCSC finish a grueling 13-game road stretch over 11 days with a 10-3 record.

As in Saturday’s sweep, the first contest on Sunday didn’t go the full nine inning as the contest was stopped after the eighth because of the 10-run rule.

The first three hitters in the Warrior lineup – Cabe Reiten, Robert Smith and Zanon, were a combined 9-for-14 with 10 RBI and eight runs scored in the opener. Zanon was a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate with four RBI and three runs scored. Smith went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs, while Reiten was 1-for-4 with three RBI and scored

twice. Hayden Meier, hitting fifth, went 3-for-5 with three RBI, while Cooper Golby was 4-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. He also had three doubles in the contest.

In all, LCSC had nine extra-base hits in the game, all doubles.

The Warriors scored two runs apiece in the first two innings to take a 4-1 lead. Meier had a two-run single in the first, while Smith and Zanon had RBI singles in the second.

After OIT scored twice in the bottom of the third to cut the margin to 4-3, the Warriors scored four in the top of the fourth. Reiten brought in the first run on a sacrifice fly, while Zanon and J.J. Robinson hit back-to-back RBI doubles. Meier singled in the final run for the 8-3 lead.

LCSC added three runs in the seventh on a two-out, two-run double by Reiten and an RBI single from Smith.

The Warriors then went wild with a seven-run eighth inning. LCSC had five hits and two walks in the inning and also took advantage of two OIT errors. An error allowed the first two

runs to score, while Smith drew a bases-loaded walk to force in a run. Zanon then doubled in two, while Esteban Bastidas had an RBI sacrifice fly. The second error of the inning allowed the final run to score.

LCSC starter Shane Desmond gave up seven hits and three earned runs in his three inning of work and recorded one strikeout. Peter Irvin pitched the final five innings to pick up the win to stand 2-1 on the season. Irvin allowed three hits and struck out two. He also faced just 17 batters, two over the minimum, over the five innings.

The 18 runs and 20 hits were both season highs for the Warriors. LCSC scored 17 runs in Saturday’s 17-2 triumph over OIT, and the Warriors previous high in hits was 19, which also came against OIT but in February at Harris Field. The 16 RBI tied a season high.

The second contest was close throughout as the Warriors used three pitchers in a pre-determined three inning split. Henry McAree allowed just two hits and two walks with two strikeouts to start the game, and Jake Barnett allowed three hits

and a walk with two strikeouts in his three innings. He also got the win to improve to 5-1 overall. Kevin Hamann pitched the final three innings and allowed five hits and two runs, but struck out four. He earned his first save of the season.

Zanon finished the second game 1-for-5 with two RBI, while Dylan Tashjian was 3-for-4 with two RBI. Zanon also stole a base and is now 19-of-19 on the season in that category.

Zanon also finished the four game series 10-for-16 with eight RBI and eight runs scored.

The Warriors broke a scoreless tie in the second game when Zanon homered to left to open the fourth. It was his seventh of the season, which has him second on the team. Julian Ramon hit a two-out single and Tashjian picked up his first RBI with a double down the right-field line.

LCSC added two more in the fifth for a 4-0 lead. Chase Hafer reached on a bunt single and moved to third on a double by Reiten. Smith followed with an RBI single and then Zanon’s fielder’s choice grounder brought in the other run.

Oregon Tech got on the board

in the seventh with the help of an error, but LCSC answered in the top of the eighth for a 5-1 lead. Meier was hit by a pitch with one out and scored on Tashjian’s second double of the game.

OIT added its final run in the bottom of the eighth but left 10 baserunners stranded in the game.

LCSC now plays eight of its next nine games at home. Next up is a four-game series at home against the College of Idaho, which stands in second in the NAIA West standings at 1.5 games behind LCSC. The first game will be Friday at 5 p.m. at LCSC’s Harris Field.

This year, the highest finishing NAIA West team outside of LCSC will play host to the conference tournament on May 5-8. The Warriors can’t host the tournament but will participate in it despite having an automatic berth into the Avista NAIA World Series. College of Idaho is 15-5 in league, while British Columbia is 11-6. The other three teams – Corban, Simpson and Oregon Tech – all have losing conference records.

After playing a pair of neutral site matches at the Biola Tennis Center the 20th-ranked Lewis-Clark State College men’s tennis team finally faced Biola University and finished their five-game in five days west coast swing with a 6-3 victory.

The win was the third consecutive and fourth in the last five days for the Warriors who improved to 9-6 on the season and 4-1 in Golden State Athletic Conference play. Biola is now 10-10 overall and 3-4 in the GSAC.

Playing singles first, the Warriors got out to a 4-2 lead, narrowly missing winning the match before doubles play. LC State won the first four matches

to finish as Sonam Phuntsok won 6-0, 6-1 at No. 6, Ignacio Salom won at No. 3 6-1, 6-0; Jeff Su defeated David Garcia 6-2, 6-0 and Andres Bustani won the fourth singles paring, 6-1, 6-3. Quentin Wacquez went three sets before falling 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 at the second position giving the Eagles a chance.

The Warriors quickly ended any notion of a comeback as Tony Chin and Phuntsok teamed up for an 8-2 victory at No. 3 doubles to seal the match. Yonas Woldetsadik and Su also won at No. 1 doubles, 8-5.

With conference regular season play over, the Warriors will face Whitman College on Apr. 9 and Whitworth University on Apr. 10 before traveling to Indian Wells, Calif for the GSAC Conference Tournament Apr. 19-21

“If I could study anywhere, I think I’d want to study in Spain. I’m just really interested about their culture; it’s a lot different than ours. I’ve been all over the world: Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines. Yeah, I think it’d be Spain.”
