'Something is happening at Linfield' cover story in 'Northwest,' the Sunday Oregonian magazine 4/28/1968

--Something is happening at Linfield. The college is quiet, peaceful and green, a story book sort of college ... yet, it swings.

--Students are losing the feeling of being sheltered from what is going on in society.

--The art and drama departments are advanced to an extent their existence in a small church-operated college is paradoxical.

--The college has put on art exhibitions that other schools might think far out.

--Some argument remains as to whether this is a changed attitude or just an expansion of a normal and modern process of awakening.


--The head of the Drama Department hopes to move the theater into a closer association with the audience, absorbing them into the whole of the play.

Northwest magazine
to feature Linfield

Northwest magazine, weekly section of the Sunday Oregonian will run an article April 28 entitled, "Something is Happening at Linfield."

The story which will be about two pages in length was apparently manufactured after Northwest writers visited here last week for an article on the college student which was run in their April 21 edition.

The article will likely include pictures, but no further details were available.
