Jake Schrickuws 'Thk Battalion BY TRAVIS IRBY The Battalion A dversity can be a catalyst in people’s lives, forcing them to take measure of their strength. Carl Lintner faced incred ible adversity when he was diag nosed with testicular cancer, but he drew, strength from the experience. Lintner, a graduate student in architecture, is the holder of a fel lowship from the American Insti tute of Architecture and American Hospital Association, one of only three awarded each year.
