Blunt truth: Eric A. Voth, left, and James B. Jacobs, right, debated last week on legalization of drugs. The two had very contrasting points of view on the situation.

complete victory in the primaries, and all that remains is the Nov. 2 elections.

But he won’t stop there, because the campaign is only the first step in his political journey.

“I really want to focus on fiscal responsibility,” said Love. “It’s got to be about people, and not all about politics.”

That attitude is what Mullin sees will get Love far in politics.

“We disagree about a lot of things, politically,” said Mullin. “But I always liked working with him in WSGA because he was dedicated to working things out for the people we represent.

He takes that seriously. Sometimes he takes a long time to talk things over, just because he wants to understand his decision completely, inside and out.”

Mott said a lot of that was what attracted Love to the Leadership Institute.

“He got really energetic when we discussed how sometimes you face decisions that are right versus wrong, but other times it is right versus right,” said Mott. “Then you have to understand that someone is going to lose. And you have to know how it will affect all of these people. That’s what got Garrett really interested, was learning how to make those tough decisions.”

Love’s tough decision-making days may be coming, but for the moment he’s content in meeting as many people as he can on the campaign trail and occasionally stopping in to help with the corn harvest at his parents’ farm.

His quick climb up the political ladder may have started with WSGA, but that hasn’t prepared him for everything he may face.

“WSGA was the biggest factor in why I was confident to run, but I wouldn’t say that’s what qualifies me for it,” said Love. “It’s very different in some ways because if I win there will be a lot more responsibilities, and more people that I represent.”

There is one more difference about this race, aside from the responsibilities, seriousness and size, that keeps confronting Love.

“People keep asking how old I am,” said Love.

Last Wednesday, Washburn shifted their focus to a timely topic.

The Washburn Law Federalist Society sponsored a debate with the topic, “High Time: Should We Legalize Drugs in America?” The debaters were New York University Law Professor James B. Jacobs and Topeka doctor and drug policy expert Eric A. Voth.

Jacobs serves as professor of Constitutional Law and the Courts and the director of the Center for Research in Crime and Justice. He was also appointed to the advisory board of the National Institute of Corrections by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

The board is an agency that is part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Jacobs took the side of Prodrug legalization during this debate.

Voth serves as the chairman for The International Drug Strategy Institute and has a medical practice in Topeka. Voth earned his medical degree at The University of Kansas Medical School. Voth wrote an article for “The World and I,” entitled “America’s Longest ‘War.’” He took the side of anti-drug legalization during this debate.

The debate began with the question, “What would the world look like if all drugs that are commonly criminalized now such as cocaine, heroin, and meth were to be made legal?”

Jacobs had the opportunity to begin on this question. While he admitted his view has changed over the years and that there is no simple answer he did have some suggestions.

“We are living through a period of mass incarceration which is very much on my mind, 2.2 million people in prisons and jails on any given day in the United States,” said Jacobs. “About one-fourth of that population is there because of the drug effects.

“Let’s say roughly half a million people incarcerated for taking drugs, possessing drugs and selling drugs, trafficking drugs and then going through the prison system being acculturated to that and going back on the streets, being assigned away to the criminal underclass.”

He said that it would be better if all drugs would be legal but “with hesitation.” His suggestion would be that if all those who had been in prison for drug use, possession, etc. would no longer be in jail there would be less “racial profiling,” “less police corruption,” and “take away the monopoly

[of the drug market].”

Voth on the other hand believed that making drugs legal would lead to many problems such as more drug related accidents.

“Realize that drug use is not a victimless event and the whole issue around drugs really loses the fact that drugs create their own demand,” said Voth. “It’s not like wheat, it’s not soy beans, in other words if all of a sudden you have a mass supply of those things or prices go down, you have a flow of use or maybe a little increase of wheat sales, but with drugs one of the major things, that I see in treating over 4,000 addicts is that one of the major factors that holds them back is the cost of the drug.

Voth also said that demand with drugs falls into how much can be bought and how much is needed to pass out or overdose.

This means that if anything is done about drugs and affects the demand, “the floodgates use will go up” In the second half of the presentation, the question was “What about marijuana, alone, putting the other drugs aside, should it be legalized?”

Jacobs argued that though there are many negative affects to drugs ,the government should not have control over what a person should be able to do.

He then went on to discuss how many people have done drugs and still be successful.

“There are millions and millions of people who have taken illicit drugs, and lived happily ever after and grow up to become doctors and lawyers, and law professors, and business men and congressmen, and presidents of the United States,” said Jacobs. “And they don’t become addicts, they don’t become abusers. Yes, there are some who get in trouble with these things but there are some who get in trouble with every kind of substance and activity.”

Voth argued that drug use changes a person’s ability to make responsible decisions.

“Let’s talk about freedom from repression,” said Voth. “I would venture to comment that there is nothing as repressive as addiction. The addict that quit smoking, that can’t give up heroine, that can’t walk away from his marijuana, that can’t quit drinking, and his life has been enslaved. He has been made a slave to a substance.”

“Oh, Lordy! Look who’s 40!” The Washburn Catholic Campus Center ends its celebration of its 40th Anniversary with a Mass on Sunday conducted by the priest who began Mass at the center back in 1970.

Vince Krische returned to the University Catholic Campus Center after 40 years to conduct Mass in celebration of the momentous anniversary.

Washburn students and Topeka citizens gathered together for the Mass in the Washburn Room.

Krische explained the beginning of the Catholic Center, when he, Archbishop Ignatius Strecker, and the Pastor of the Most Pure Heart of Mary Parish drove to the corner of 17th Street and Jewell Avenue and asked to purchase the house from the woman who lived there, all three standing in black suits wearing Roman collars.

Timothy Lake WASHBURN REVIEW

After replacing her home they turned the newly purchased house into the Washburn Catholic Campus Center.

The center began when the University was much smaller, and when the resources of Topeka were more able to help, and it was easier to get people involved, however the center is still able to retain a large following among Washburn students, and citizens of Topeka.

The toughest time for the center was in 1996 when there was no chaplain, very little student activity, and little community support. Topeka priests attempted to revive the center by allowing students to take on greater leadership roles, and through grass roots movements and lead to a much more active center.

Krische said that there wasn’t a chapel for Catholic students so they would have a “church in a box” and go around to the various buildings.

Today there is a chapel inside the center.

Krische explained that he hopes that in the future that every university would have a house of Catholic studies, that would teach theology, philosophy, and history.

The Center will continue to offer classes on Catholicism, and continue its service projects in the future said Patti Lyon, Director of the Catholic Campus Center.

Lyon said that one of the most important things for the growth of the center would be a full time priest so that they would be able to have daily Mass.

Lyon said that she invites all Catholic students to get active at the Catholic Campus center, including attending Mass, enrolling in classes, and taking part in the service projects.

Menninger discusses F-5 tornado Robert Miller WASHBURN REVIEW

Some events that occur in a community’s history can have long lasting effects on its citizens. One author has written a book in an attempt to capture that moment.

On June 8, 1966, at 7:20 p.m., an EF-5 tornado struck the campus of Washburn University. Eleven of 13 major buildings on the campus were destroyed causing a total of $8 million worth of damage. Among the victims that evening, there were 16 fatalities. Forty years later to commemorate the anniversary of this tragic event, author Bonar Menninger wrote the book, “And Hell Followed With It: Life and Death in a Kansas Tornado.”

The book tells the story of the tornado that left many people wondering if the campus of Washburn could survive such a powerful tornado. The book also features indelible images taken that document the tornado’s destruction of Topeka as a whole and within the Washburn community.

After so many years some asked why Menninger felt the need to write a book about such a subject.

“I just felt like it was a story that needed to be told before everybody was dead that was in

Chaos: Bonnar Menninger explains the conditions of Topeka’s 1966 tornado. As a native, his book deals with the carnage of the event. it,” said Menninger “I needed to do something on the side that would be fun.”

While writing the book Menninger reached out within the Topeka community to find survivors of the 1966 tornado.

Menninger would record all of his interviews to refer back to them if need be. He recalls some of the emotional aspects of his interviews with the survivors. Menninger would start off getting a little background information from the survivor he was interviewing, once that

was over and they began to discuss the tornado, things would get really emotional.

“When I’d start talking about the tornado, you could feel how emotional the people really are,” said Menninger.

According to Menninger, the interviews would get so emotional that he recalled two interviews he did with two women who survived the tornado in which one woman cried and the other started shaking just at the thought of the word tornado.

As a resident of Topeka during the time of the tornado, Menninger was only a young child when the tornado struck but says he was on vacation at the time. “We lived on 29th [Street] & Jewell [Avenue], we went on vacation the Sunday before so we missed all the excitement, that’s probably why I wrote that book.”

Menninger offered a simple truth when asked what lessons came from such a historic event “Respect Mother Nature, she’ll kill you,” said Menninger.

President’s Press -paid for byWSGAWe started off Monday with the Homecoming Ball which turned out to be a great event. The DJ was very good and took requests all night, and you had to fight for room on the dance floor! Tuesday evening was the Ichabod Race, and the weather was much nicer this year so it proved to be more of a foot race getting to the different buildings.

Wednesday evening was the text message competition at the library, where Blake Bryant won an iPad! Thursday began with the WU Chef competition where we had 6 teams competing and a lot of really neat cakes being decorated!

That night, we saw some awesome performances at Yell Like Hell. Friday night we had our big pep rally, Friday Night Madness, to get everyone excited for the big game against Northwest the next day, which took place right after the parade.

Wow! What a busy week! Our football team lost by one point, so we wish they would have won, but they sure played hard!

Congratulations to my Vice President, Mr. Lucas Mullin for being the 2010 Homecoming King and to my Budget Director, Miss Taylor McGown for being the new Homecoming Queen!! And a big congrats to all of the Homecoming candidates and finalists! Thank you for all you all do for Washburn.

We had a very good group this year. Hope you all enjoyed Homecoming week and hopefully can get some rest this week.

Homecoming week culminates Busy week capped with queen crown in crowning of king and queen Ashley Nadeau WASHBURN REVIEW

Kelsie O’Connell WASHBURN REVIEW Washburn University’s annual Homecoming crowning took place Saturday, Oct. 23 as the Ichabods took on Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. As each candidate lined up along the football field, the results were revealed.

Taylor McGown, nominated by Washburn Student Government Association, took the crown as 2010’s Homecoming queen. McGown, from Mound City, Kan., serves as president of the Bod Squad, a biology mentor for students, as well as budget director for the WSGA . McGown is a junior majoring in biology at Washburn.

“It’s very surreal,” said McGown of the win. “There were a lot of really good candidates up [to win].”

McGown said that because she woke up late, she didn’t even have to time to think about winning. As President of the Bod Squad, McGown said she had to get the tailgate up and going before the game, which was a priority concern.

Humbled by the win, McGown said she did not expect to win. Yet, she feels her victory was a great honor.

“It feels really good to know that the students felt that I was the one they wanted to see and to represent Washburn in that way,” said McGown.

Alongside McGown, senior Lucas Mullin took the crown as Homecoming King. A senior majoring in public administration, Mullin felt honored by the win as well. Also nominated by the Washburn Student Government Association, Mullin serves as vice president of the WSGA and is a member of Phi Delta Theta.

“I’m very excited,” said Mullin. “It’s a very big honor.”

Mullin said he knew the day was going to be good, regardless of whether or not he won. Not only is Homecoming

WSGA vice president adds royalty to list Ashley Nadeau WASHBURN REVIEW

Grinning ear-to-ear while posing for photos after being announced King and Queen at the Homecoming football game, Lucas Mullin and Taylor McGown could not look happier.

“Winning homecoming King is more than just receiving a top hat and a plaque,” said Lucas Mullin. “Every one of the candidates has poured themselves into Washburn in some way, and it was such an honor to make it that far.”

A senior public administration major, Mullin serves as the vice president of the Washburn Student Government Association, is a member of Phi Delta Theta and Order of Omega honor society and a board member for the Community Resource Council. Participating in these, any other activities, allows Mullin to be involved in many campus events, including Homecoming week.

“Since I was chair of the homecoming committee, I had the opportunity to plan homecoming from the beginning,” said Mullin. “It was a great process to go through and I enjoyed planning the schedule of events throughout the week,” he said.

As chair, Mullin met every week with the other committee members from April until Homecoming. The committee worked to decide on the homecoming theme and its events.

“We looked at recommendations from previous years to see if it was an event we wanted to keep, a tradition, or if we wanted to throw in new things.

This year, we kept all the traditional events such as the ball, Ichabod Race, WU Chef, Yell like Hell, and Friday Night Madness,” said Mullin.

Regina Budden WASHBURN REVIEW

I scan the menu. Endless pancakes, eggs galore, and meaty sausages run together.

My friends groan and roll their eyes as I take my time deciding what I will torture my stomach with on this particular outing.

I’m on a late night IHOP run with some friends, not terribly hungry, but hungry enough that the usual fries and small root beer from McDonald’s won’t cut it. And I’ve been trying to eat healthier, so as not to get diabetes or heart disease (or both) by age 23. The Tilapia is appetizing, with its side of potatoes, broccoli and a soup or salad. Too bad I can’t eat all that at any meal, let alone a late supper. Scanning the tri-fold once more, I visually stumble upon the Kids’ Menu, where a half of a fish and a small serving of broccoli catch my eye. Perfect.

Healthy. Portion-controlled.

We order. The waitress looks at me. I’m not kidding, I really do want the child-sized serving. Not because of the price, but because I know I won’t overeat like I am so wont to do at a restaurant where the meal is suited to Vikings, not bored college students.

“I’m sorry, that’s for 12 and under only.” She underlines “only” in the air with her pen, then waits irritably for the next three minutes it takes me to find something. I finally settle with a biscuit and four pieces of bacon, well done. I give a two-dollar tip. Whatever happened to “the customer is always right?”

Perhaps this rendition of my experience is a tad dramatic (I tipped $2.03, according to my receipt), but this speaks to a bigger problem. American health continues to deteriorate, but portion sizes keep growing.

It is understandable to think that the customer wants more bang for their buck, but I personally would rather have less bang and less buck and slightly smaller thighs. More people are eating out on a regular basis, and it is outrageous for restaurants to expect and encourage customers to eat an entire small farm animal every time they dine out.

Customers don’t really want to take home leftovers, otherwise they would have dined in that evening anyway and eaten last night’s green beans and twice-cooked chicken. No one really wants to buy a $7.99 meal and only eat $5.27 of it. My peers have also complained about overeating when they eat at restaurants. We are conditioned to eat everything in front of us. Restaurants prey on this response by placing more in front of us to begin with, and lowering the temperature of the room so that diners’ bodytemperatures drop and they feel hungrier.

What seems ridiculous about this overeating phenomena is that I have observed it doesn’t apply to what we generally think of as fast-food restaurants. This is in part because it is more acceptable to order the meal in parts, such as ordering a Big Mac but small fries.

Or no fries, if you want. And, although the multiple voices over the drive-through speaker scares me, I am inclined to suggest McDonalds over a restaurant next time I’m cruising for some late night sustenance.

IHOP, I know that with your late night hours you get a lot of drunk people and kids with the munchies, but next time, just let me eat off the kids’ menu.

Reality TV is utterly entertaining, enlightening trash Editorial Board WASHBURN REVIEW

Americans unashamedly love and watch a lot of reality television. Reality TV is a social experiment and it is interesting to see how people act toward one another when cameras are around. Trashy or pure, there is a message behind every reality show - some even teach life lessons.

PROS: Creates a lot of good: Shows such as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and The Biggest Loser provide a platform for people to change their lives, even for the people watching the shows. Reality TV inspires people to help strangers, volunteer and commit to making their lives better.

Portion control

Opinion • Wednesday, October 27, 2010

“

“

This only happens for a very, very tiny group of people, who need to move on with their lives after their eighth, ninth or tenth run at reality TV. There are better things to watch: Enough said.

All in all, there are good and bad reasons to watch reality TV. It is entertainment and a look into random peoples lives that is utterly fascinating to me. Americans will continue to watch all of my reality TV shows until there are no more (which likely won’t ever happen) If you haven’t watched any reality TV, try one or two and you may just be surprised how much you like to see human interaction at its finest.

But keep in mind, don’t act like the trash.

Marching bands walk the walk for festival AD alumni share

passion for rock

Elise Barnett WASHBURN REVIEW

Washburn University’s Yager Stadium came alive with energy and excitement as parents, students and community members gathered for the annual Capital City Marching Band Festival.

Wednesday Oct. 20, the marching band festival, showcased half-time performances by eight local high schools. Judges at the festival rated the schools on various aspects of their performance.

Mission Valley High School’s marching band began the night with a blues-inspired collection of three pieces. What the Mission Valley Vikings lacked in size, they made up for with spirit and enthusiasm.

Next, Highland Park high school Marching Scots took the field along with Highland Park’s dance team. For the first two numbers of their performance, the dance team performed small routines off to the side of the band. The last number brought the dancers and band together in a mosaic of fun and precise coordination.

The Osage City Marching Indians and color guard rocked the house with their show entitled “Rock of Ages” which featured the song “Carry On My Wayward Son” originally performed by the rock band, Kansas. The crowd roared as the band sang the opening lines of the song leading into their instrumental interpretation.

As the night progressed, the bands grew larger and the routines more theatrical and overall dynamic. The second half of the festival featured all 5A and 6A high schools including Leavenworth, Shawnee Heights, Topeka West, Seaman and Washburn Rural.

Washburn’s own Marching and Dancing Blues closed the festival with a riveting performance that included a performance by the Washburn Faculty Brass Quintet.

Overall the festival was a high-energy collection of music showing what the northeast Kansas area marching bands are capable of producing.

The Capitol City Marching Band Festival was sponsored by the Washburn University Music Department with help from Manning Music of Topeka.

Mulvane brings Day of the Dead to life Kate Arroyo WASHBURN REVIEW Washburn’s Mulvane Art Lab started their celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with a Family Day activity on Saturday, Oct 23.

The Art Lab was open to the public for a free activity that included demonstrations on making traditional decorations for Day of the Dead, which is a holiday celebrated in Mexico on Nov. 1 and 2.

The Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrating loved ones who have passed away.

It is believed their spirits return one day of the year to be with their families. All Saint’s Day, Nov. 1, is when the spirits of children return and All Soul’s Day, Nov. 2, is when adult spirits return.

Families and communities have a variety of ways in

which they celebrate this holiday and honor their dead.

Many towns have parades and outdoor festivals during this holiday, with performers dressed in skeleton costumes and masks.

Bakeries and vendors sell cookies and candies shaped like bones, skeletons and skulls. Making and decorating sugar skulls is a common activity in many homes. Besides enjoying these treats for themselves, people will leave them as offerings for the spirits of their loved ones at altars decorated with favorite foods and articles of the deceased.

A favorite decoration is papel picado, which literally means ‘punched’or ‘perforated’ paper.

Brightly colored banners of delicate tissue paper are hung everywhere during Day of the Dead. Creating cut paper art is an ancient tradition that originated in China with

the invention of paper in the year 105. Over the centuries it spread to Japan, Central Asia, and with the Moorish occupation of Spain from 714 to 1492, the art found its way into Europe. The conquering Spaniard’s brought this to the Americas as well as the Catholic holidays of All Saint’s Day and All Souls Day. The Aztecs had already developed their own paper from tree bark pulp and had a tradition of paper cut images as part of their religious ceremonies. Eventually, as in many countries, the native beliefs and practices merged with Catholicism and its holidays. Papel picado is a folk art tradition that has remained part of these celebrations for centuries.

The Mulvane Art Lab is keeping this tradition alive in our community by offering an opportunity to make your own

papel picado banners and other decorations. Two visitors to the Family Day event were Jennifer and Gustavo Ibarra, who spent several hours patiently creating beautiful and imaginative decorations to display in their home for the Day of the Dead holiday.

Jennifer, a sixth-grade student “you make a big celebration for your family and relatives that have already passed,” Jennifer said. Jennifer and Gustavo made papel picado banners, ofrendos (small altar-like decorations), paper flowers and other decorations during their afternoon at the Art Lab. The Mulvane Art Lab will continue to offer Day of the Dead decoration making through the end of October.

Day of the dead: The Mulvane Art Lab recently hosted Family Day activities celebrating the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos. The festivities honor loved ones who have passed away.

The Washburn International Club will present the fifth annual Celebration of Cultures at White Concert Hall on Nov. 6 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The event is free to the public, although goodwill donations will be accepted to support activities of the International Club.

The International Club terms its mission as making the international presence more visible on campus and help build stronger ties between international students, American students and the Topeka community by sponsoring activities both on and off campus. The office of interna-

tional students works with 185 students from 40 countries.

Students will be performing traditional and modern dances, singing and instrumental performances that represent their home nations. There will be a variety of display tables as well as Chinese calligraphy and paper cutting demonstrations. The program will also include an international fashion show and a martial arts demonstration. This student driven and directed event was very successful last year and should be a popular part of Washburn‘s family day activities.

Siting Pretty: Gary Star, owner of Garry’s Berries, shows off one of his many props. The annual Fall Festival includes a corn maze, pumpkin patch, haunted house and several other activities.

Gary’s Berries scares up Fall Festival activities Kate Fechter WASHBURN REVIEW

If you go to Gary’s Berries, located east of Topeka eight miles off 24 Highway, you may end up with a new fall tradition.

Gary’s Berries has an annual Fall Festival with many activities, and they are continuing to expand.

Gary’s Berries began in 1993 when owner Gary Starr and his family bought the site in 1993. They turned it into a fruit farm and used it as a project where home-schooled children raised fruit like strawberries and raspberries. This lasted until 2003, when it was no longer profitable.

The Fall Festival began in 2000, with Starr adding a corn maze and a pumpkin patch.

“We had a green army tent and four people helping us, and that was it,” said Starr. “It has expanded since then, and we have evolved to just the Fall Festival.”

Until it flooded in 2005, the festival was located on a creek bed on the site. In 2006, it reopened at its current site, Photo by Linnzi Fusco, Washburn Review located on higher ground.

Washburn’s defense, regarded as one of the stronger units against the pass in Division II football in the preseason, struggled early on. It gave up Josh Rouse 15 passing touchdowns in the WASHBURN REVIEW first four games. Pierre Desir, sophomore defensive back, had Much like U.S. President difficulty living up to his preHarry S. Truman’s famous season All-American hype, as saying, “the buck stops here,” it appeared several of the big Washburn’s defense knows plays against Washburn were they are responsible for keep- blown assignments by Desir. ing Washburn in the hunt for However, Schurig stressed that a bowl game this postseason the early woes were not solely as they take on his fault.

tackles and picking off his third pass of the year.

“He’s a very fine player,” said Schurig. “He can make up a lot of ground in a hurry and can go attack the football, so hopefully we see that a bunch in these next games.”

However, the rest of the defensive secondary seemed to be having problems of its own.

Following the Central Missouri game, in which the defense allowed 447 passing yards and four touchdowns, the Ichabod secondary improved statistically every game, culminating in an impressive game against Pittsburg State in which they allowed only 85 passing yards and no touchdowns.

“I kind of attribute secondary coverage to offensive line play,” said Schurig. “If one guy’s out of sync, the play doesn’t work. Same thing with the secondary coverage, if one guy’s off then they have a chance to get you. That happened early in the season and since that time we’ve been a little bit more disciplined in our coverages and hopefully that continues.”

Robert Burkett WASHBURN REVIEW

After coming off a tough loss in their previous game, in what some were terming an “upset” the Washburn Lady Blues volleyball team bounced back over the weekend with back-to-back wins.

Coming into the game against rival Truman State, Washburn was stung on the road by a Northwest Missouri State team that was just at a .500 record for the year. That loss set the stage for the weekend as the Lady Blues went to work leading up to the games.

“We have a great deal of respect for Truman State,” said Chris Herron, Washburn head volleyball coach. “It seems like since I’ve been at Washburn it’s been us or them as far as winning the conference.”

With an opponent of the

caliber of Truman State, it was vital for Washburn to get out early and play well in front of a pinked-out Lee Arena. The Truman State game was the Lady Blues game supporting breast cancer awareness.

Washburn came out early in the first set led by Aubri Renshaw, freshman outside hitter and Hillary Hughes, sophomore outside hitter, each of which scored four kills to give the Lady Blues a first set win 25-17.

In the second set, Truman State took the momentum back as they led the set in total attacks at net 97-71. Washburn used their defensive prowess to fight off the aggressive play led

by Molly Smith, senior libero and Hughes with 10 digs each.

Breanna Lewis, junior right side hitter along with Mollie Lacy, junior middle hitter threw up a wall of defense as they

blocked a combined five shots at net during the set.

Combined with the defense was an offensive effort that finished out the set with a five-point rally that allowed Washburn to create breathing room and eventually take the set 25-19.

After a brief intermission, Truman State came out and looked flat as Washburn scored the first five points of the third set. Truman State though held on and weathered the early jump ahead of the Lady Blues that combined with some sloppy play that included three consecutive attack errors that brought Truman State back into the set and swung momentum in their favor. Despite the late push in the set to come back, the Lady Blues fell in the third set to Truman State.

In the fourth and deciding set Washburn turned to Renshaw once again as the Lady Blues put on a dominant performance in the final set. Leading the set with 4 kills, Renshaw who finished out the game with 14 kills overall led the Lady Blues offense on a seven point rally early on in the set that broke the back of Truman State and all but sealed the victory for Washburn who won the set 25-20 and took the match 3-1.

Afterward the Lady Blues expressed their relief at getting a big win.

“It was a good bounce back for us after losing at Northwest,” said Renshaw. “Coming together as a team and playing as hard as we did coming off a loss, it was a great win for us.”

Renshaw’s play did not go unnoticed either.

“I can’t say enough good things about her,” said Herron.

“She’s oblivious to pressure.”

Washburn then followed up the next day with a decisive 3-0 win over Missouri Western to finish out a successful weekend and position themselves second in the conference just one game behind Central Missouri in the MIAA conference standings as the season winds down.

Washburn is on the road to the University of NebraskaOmaha Oct. 26 before returning home for a showdown against conference leading Central Missouri Oct. 29 at Lee Arena.

Last year’s Friday Night Madness champions, the men’s basketball team, took a decidedly different approach to this year’s contest in a real crowd pleaser, even exploiting a backflipping 10-year-old boy in the process.

“This year, we decided to give audience members an opportunity to dance and give them a chance to win a couple prizes,” said Bobby Chipman, sophomore forward. “We randomly did pick out people, and it happened to be a young boy with some dance moves. He got the crowd on their feet, and I was impressed.”

Dual sport athlete shines Robert Burkett WASHBURN REVIEW

Someone once wrote that, “for all things there is a season.” In the case of one of Washburn’s newest athletes, the season never really ends.

Sami McHenry is a redshirt freshman, currently serving as a defensive specialist for the Washburn Lady Blues volleyball team. When the volleyball season begins to draw near an end, another facet of McHenry’s athletic career begins to kick into gear as she assumes the role of newcomer to the Lady Blues basketball team under the direction of her father, head coach Ron McHenry.

The transition is one that is new for the freshman at the collegiate level but yet is familiar for a variety of reasons.

“I’ve honestly done this all my life,” said Sami McHenry.

“My parents have always given me a variety of different things to do so I feel like that has helped prepare me for taking everything that comes at me.”

In the case of her mindset, some find her single-minded

determination to be a success at Washburn all too familiar.

“Her sister, Dani [McHenry Schmidt] was a great twosport athlete also at Washburn,” said Chris Herron, Washburn head volleyball coach. “So I think it’s just something in the McHenry D.N.A.” In fact, when she chose to come to Washburn Sami McHenry contemplated if she wanted to pursue both sports and sought counsel from her sister. “[Dani] just told me to do what I wanted but to not regret anything later so I decided to go for it,” said Sami McHenry.

While she has prior experience as a multi-sport athlete in high school, McHenry has still had to make the adjustments that come with moving to the next level and wanting to be successful in both sports.

“I’ve had to study a lot more with picking up two [coaching] systems and get myself prepared for both sports,” said Sami McHenry. “I also have to get myself into running shape because conditioning for both sports is different so it’s a

little bit of an adjustment.”

As for basketball, coach McHenry looks forward to the experience which he had similarly with his older daughter, Dani (McHenry) Schmidt, current Washburn assistant volleyball coach.

“With the life of a coach you don’t get to see your family as much as you’d like sometimes,” said Ron McHenry. “So a little selfishly, I really look forward to spending more time with her as she goes through school here.”

At the same time though, coach McHenry appreciates the task before his daughter as she assumes the role of player on his team.

“She really does face a pretty massive learning curve,” said Ron McHenry. “Playing at this level is a whole other experience, especially with having to play catch up being a month behind [of her teammates].”

RoadRunners show sporadic effort Richard Kelly WASHBURN REVIEW

The offensive outburst only lasted one night.

A day after firing away at St. Louis Bandits goalie Jimmy Hanby and burying five goals in the final period to win 6-3, the Topeka RoadRunners couldn’t replicate the same effort, falling 3-0 Saturday night at Landon Arena.

In Friday night’s match up, Topeka (8-4-2) took an early lead 14 seconds into the contest when Michael Hill buried a rebound off a Nate Milam shot. But only 18 seconds later, St. Louis’ Chris Ciotti tied the match at one, deflating the RoadRunners’ early momentum.

St. Louis (10-3-2) took a 2-1 lead at 16:01 of the first period when Joe Kalisz found the back of the net, which would stand until 9:54 of the second period when Russell Finch gave the Bandits a 3-1 lead.

Michael Hill scored another early-period goal 34 seconds into the third period. Halfway through the third period, the

RoadRunners were hit for a four-minute penalty, but two shorthanded goals by Jordan Davis and Nate Milam respectively while down a man gave Topeka a 4-3 lead.

A goal at 13:27 by Andrew White and a late empty-net goal

by Daniel Dupell finished off Friday’s match.

Early Saturday, Topeka looked like the same team who had outplayed St. Louis in the third period the night before.

But nevertheless, 4:59 into the game, Brad Smith found the back of the net, giving the Bandits a 1-0 lead. Topeka lead in shots 10-2 after the first period.

During a late second period Topeka power play, Drew Slaton found himself on a breakaway and flipped the puck backhanded into the back of the net at the 16:46 mark of the second period to increase the Bandit lead to 2-0 For Topeka head coach Scott Langer, it was frustrating to come out firing and be trailing.

“I thought system wise, we were really good the first two periods and to be down

was frustrating,” said Langer.

“Our first goal was really soft and then a pretty big breakaway takes the wind out of your sails.

They capitalized on a few mistakes. We only gave up 13 shots and got shut out. I don’t know how many times that’s going to happen.”

A third period shot appeared to go off the crossbar and stay out of the goal, however the goal light came on, but play did not stop. Upon stoppage of play, head official Lucas Martin spoke with the goal judge and it was confirmed a goal at 3:11 to make it 3-0.

Langer was still in question following the play and noticeably frustrated by the call.

“The third goal never went in,” said Langer. “I’m not even sure how anyone can get that wrong. That amazes me. At that point, the game’s over and it’s in the hands of the official and the off-ice official who made that call. But we have to support our goaltending and our defense more. We’re only allowing 13 shots. We’ve got to score some goals. We weren’t tenacious enough on the re-

bound tonight.”

Topeka fired nine shots in the final period and 23 on the night in the loss. Rasmus Tirronen picked up a win and a loss on the weekend, giving up six goals on 37 shots overall.

Langer knows he’s got a young hockey team with a lot of new players and doesn’t expect the team to excel overnight. However, he wants to see change happen promptly.

“We’ve lost some games here early on and we’re not used to how we’re losing them,” said Langer. “I don’t like it. It’s really not part of our identity or our culture. These guys are either going to figure it out or some other guys are going to figure it out for them.”

Topeka returns to the road this week to take on the Springfield, Ill. Junior Blues. They then return home the following weekend to play the New Mexico Mustangs, which begins a six-game homestand.

BODS: Changes in secondary present challenge Continued from page A7

However, the Ichabods took a significant hit when they lost Casey Curran, senior safety, likely for the season with an ankle injury, and with Michael Wilhoite, senior linebacker/defensive end, occasionally trying to fill in at safety against Northwest Missouri State, the Bearcats took advantage of Curran’s absence.

“It’s real funny because everyone was worried about D-linemen being a holdup and thought nobody would be able to pass on us, and then it was

like flip-flopped,” said Wilhoite. “It was like teams were just airing it out on us and killing us with the pass but nobody could run on us. Then finally we had a game [against Nebraska-Omaha] where we finally played a team that was going to challenge us with the run. They said ‘We’re not going to throw the ball, we’re going to run.’

We knew that from watching the tape, we were prepared for it and we did a very good job against it, I thought.”

While Wilhoite understandably didn’t flourish filling in for the injured Curran against

one of the top offenses in the MIAA, he has found some success spreading around to other positions on the field.

“He’s big enough to play D-end and he’s got some speed things that help us out there so on certain teams that like to throw the ball, moving him up and giving him some pass rush responsibilities is a big plus and he’s definitely strong enough to do it,” said Schurig.

Wilhoite said that after playing only linebacker for the first five years of his college career, it was a nice change of pace to switch in at defensive

end every now and then to apply the pass rush.

“I never did it before but I really enjoyed it,” said Wilhoite. “It’s something I really enjoyed, it’s like a new challenge for me. When they first told me about it I was very excited to do something different because I’ve been doing the same thing for so many years that it was just like ‘Now I get to do something different and get to show maybe another talent that I have.’”

While the secondary has struggled to regain its composure, the defensive line and line-

Blues beat Bearcats in Yager Mike Knipper WASHBURN SID Washburn’s Caysie Beetley scored her first collegiate goal 51 seconds into the second half to propel the Lady Blues to a 3-0 win over Northwest Missouri in Yager Stadium Saturday night. Washburn will be back in action on Thursday at Emporia State.

Beetley’s goal was one of three by the Lady Blues as Washburn’s Lauren Henry added her third goal of the season and Megan Buckley scored her second goal of the season in the 87th minute capping the scor-

backers have exceeded expectations, holding rushers to only 3.7 yards per rush. This number was considerably lower, 3.2 yards per rush, before the Pitt State game where the Gorillas rushed 53 times for 346 yards and five touchdowns.

“I think our front has started to play well,” said Schurig.

“The inside backers and outside backers are really doing a good job on the run game.”

The linebacking squad has had its fair share of injuries, however. Michael “Bear” Hollins, junior linebacker, hasn’t played a down since incur-

ring a shoulder injury in the Central Missouri game. Luke Schuckman, fifth-year senior linebacker, has been battling concussions. He said he got one against Abilene Christian in the home opener and then had another one against NebraskaOmaha.

“We’re all kind of banged and bruised, in a way, but we’re fighting through our injuries and doing the best we can to win our next game,” said Schuckman.

Ashley Klone picked up the shutout win in net with her 15th career shutout and her second shutout of the season in net collecting two saves. The 15th shutout also sets a school record passing former WU netkeeper Jenna Hatlestad. Beetley finished with three shots and Ashley Hynek, Danielle Sicard and Henry each had two.

Washburn (4-7-3, 4-6-2 MIAA) outshot the Bearcats (2-9-4, 2-8-3 MIAA) 13 to 3 holding a 12 to 0 advantage in the second half going with a strong southern breeze.
