Board of regents discuss ‘Penn State’ issue Tanner Ballengee

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Washburn University Board of Regents held their monthly meeting on last Wednesday, in the Forum Room of the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center. All but one member of the board were present, including Jerry B. Farley, president of the university.

Even the Ichabod mascot was in attendance.

On the consent agenda were revisions to the Washburn University Policies, Regulations and Procedures Manual, announcement of Honorary Degree candidates and several new degree proposals.

Farley gave some good news in his report, stating that students from Washburn Tech competed in the Kansas Skills USA Competition, which includes technical institutes from around the country, placed first place in the design contest in two states. Farley then mentioned that two Washburn seniors, Shawn Bryant and Blake Bryant, and Richard Liedtke, executive director of enrollment management, had been accepted into the 2012 Leadership Greater Topeka.

Farley then spoke briefly about other recent Washburn related events, such as students who had volunteered in Costa Rica and New Orleans over Winter Break and the “Alternative Spring Break” program, a donation to Washburn Tech from the Kansas Contractors Association and the finishing of the Mulvane Art Museum.

A few more reports were given before the board moved on to the agenda item: the first one was the revision to the sexual harassment policy of Wash-

burn. Parts were added to the policy to fine-tune the responsibility and action needed to be taken by Washburn staff in sexual harassment situations.

David Moses, a board of regents member who sat next to Farley, spoke up about the policy revisions concerning the language.

“I’m curious by what we mean by the language ‘must take steps to prevent its continuation,’” said Moses. “It could be misinterpreted.”

Moses said that he assumed that the revision was driven by the Penn State situation, in which Jerry Sandusky, Penn State’s former assistant coach, was accused of sexually abusing children and a few school officials were sanctioned for not reporting the alleged abuse. Moses said that he was curious if the chosen language of the revision meant requirement to physically break up any sexual harassment and violence that is witnessed. The writers of the revision said that the language had been suggested prior to the Penn State situation.

“I’m not so sure we want to mandate that,” said Moses.

The discussion over the issue went on for some time before the chair of the board decided that the revision should be dropped from the consent agenda and discussed more closely by a subcommittee at another time.

The two candidates for Honorary Degree were announced and approved by the board, including the honorable Christel E. Marquard, Doctor of Law, and Brigadier General Deborah S. Rose, Doctor of Public Service. Marquard graduated from the Washburn School of Law in 1974, has served on the board of regents from 2007 to

Cupcake Agenda: Washburn President Jerry B. Farley speaks before handing out cupcakes Monday. Farley, along with the rest of the Washburn Board of Regents, heard proposals on reforming Washburn’s sexual harassment policy last Wednesday.

2011 and has remained a supporter of Washburn and the Washburn University School of Law in numerous ways. Rose graduated from Washburn in 1982 with a bachelor of science in nursing, before beginning a career in the military. She has also been a big supporter of Washburn, and will receive an honorary degree along with Marquard at the May 2012 commencement ceremonies.

Next on the agenda was the proposal for a new degree: a doctorate of nursing practice. Packets of information were handed to the members of the board and a PowerPoint presenta-

tion was shown. This has been in the works for several years and is finally coming into action. After the presentation, the board approved the new degree and a short round of applause commenced.

A revision to the bachelor of science in nursing curriculum was then proposed and approved. Along with that was the proposal of two more new degrees, including the master of arts, human services degree for addiction counseling and the master of health sciences in health care education degree.

Lastly, the discussion turned to-

Sports

ward the department of labor, who in October of 2011 awarded Washburn University with a $19.6 million grant to expand on Washburn Tech and create and build six more technical schools and community colleges.

A proper site for the project was found and work will begin on it as soon as possible. The board approved and shortly after granted the meeting adjourned.

Washburn stomp Tigers, McNeill scorches nets Rob Burkett

WASHBURN REVIEW

Washburn’s basketball season can be summed up in two words: Will McNeill. With yet another outstanding game, the junior guard continues to show the talent that has put him in the conversation for MIAA player of the year.

Coming into the game against Fort Hays State University, the Ichabods had won five of their last six games, with the loss coming against current second seed in the MIAA conference, Northwest Missouri State University.

The Tigers looked to pick up ground as they attempt to put themselves in a top four position in the conference. That was not meant to be, as Washburn opened up the game on a 6-0 run. With opportunistic defense, a strong showing on the boards and a 26-point night from McNeill, the Ichabods led from wire-to-wire.

In the first half McNeill took the ball at the teeth of the Tiger defense, scoring 17 points while getting to the free throw line shooting 4-5 in the opening period and 6-7 overall for the game. Not content to simply carry the lion’s share of the offensive load, McNeill also hit the glass hard as well pulling down five rebounds in the first half and finishing the game with 8 total rebounds. The efforts of the star guard didn’t go unnoticed.

"Will was unbelievable," said Washburn head coach Bob Chipman.

Leaping Into Action: Junior guard Will McNeill plays lockdown defense during Saturday’s game against Fort Hays State University. McNeill scored 26 points against the Tigers.

"That was impressive, what he did out there. He scored in every different way.

He was the best player on the floor."

As the offense continued to flow through McNeill throughout the course of the game, his efforts on the defensive end of the court also drew attention as well.

“Dayee [Moses] has been their

hot player coming in so we were trying to get after him,” said Chipman. “He was off, but credit our defense because that was our focus. Sure enough, Will was on him. The neat thing about Will is he plays on both ends and he plays the boards.”

To many, drawing is a talent derived from the time spent enjoying a hobby. To others, drawing is nothing more than a useless idea. What does one member of Washburn University’s staff say about this question? According to John Paul, associate professor of sociology and art, art is a passion worth pursing always.

Paul, currently teaching both Sociology and Art, believes that his Drawing One course is a great way for beginning artists to delve deeper into their major.

“Its great to be in an environment

where one can be inspired (in an almost instantaneously way) by the work of another and this in turn creates a cycle of development, stimulation and encouragement that grows throughout the semester,” said Paul.

Teaching two different courses can be difficult, but Paul has found that practice makes perfect.

“This is my third semester teaching Drawing One, and across these semesters, I’ve had the students work primarily in replication,” said Paul.

However, he insists that his students do abide by the copyright laws with their choice of images.

Career services offer resumé appraisals Matt Kelly

WASHBURN REVIEW

For those planning to attend the Spring Career Fair in Lee Arena on Feb 15, the Resumé Roadshow will be held in the lobby of Memorial Union for students needing feedback on their resumés beforehand.

As usual, the Resumé Roadshow will be hosted on the Monday directly prior to career fair by Washburn’s career services department, the biyearly co-sponsors of the fair. This semester, it will be held on Feb. 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Resumé appraisals will be kept to about 10 minutes, so if a student’s resumé requires a complete overhaul, it would be best to schedule an appointment with career services.

“You can absolutely stop by our office, and we’d be more than happy to meet with you or help you with your resumé,” said James Barraclough, career services specialist, as he informed a mass media class about the upcoming fair. “My boss, Kent, has a saying: ‘career services is as easy as one two three,’ because our office number is 123 in Morgan Hall.”

For students who are still working on their resumés, Kent McAnally, director of Career Service said a good résumé shouldn’t just list off awards and accolades; it should include details on how the applicant has performed at anything from an internship to a part-time job.

“The thing we hear from employers is: ‘can you show us that you’ve accomplished some things?’” said McAnally. “That includes your work history. Can you show that what you did in

your work made a difference?

Can you quantify it? Can you show results? That’s critical as students present their information on a resumé.”

For some students, the ability to “show off” comes naturally, which can be helpful in writing a good resumé. On the other hand, some students struggle with finding things to “brag” about, despite having strengths of their own. Unfortunately, no matter how much help a student receives on a resume, it will always be his or her responsibility to decide which accomplishments are worth mentioning.

“Obviously, when we work with a student on a resumé, we don’t know everything about that student’s history, so about all we can do is prompt them to find what those accomplishments are,” said McAnally.

“Professional resumé writers are no different in that respect.

If you’re paying someone to write your resumé, you’re going to have to tell them everything to write, so why not do it yourself?”

There will be three members of the career services department at the roadshow. Appraisals will be “first come first serve,” so be prepared to wait a few minutes if necessary.

WSGA seeks future leaders Kelly Hurla

WASHBURN REVIEW

WSGA is gearing up for the spring elections and accepting applications.

Monday and Tuesdays WSGA election information meetings only lasted about 10 minutes and gave out detailed information on the paperwork and forms that those interested in running for 2012 elections were required to fill out.

Among the brightly color coded forms was a simple white piece of paper, yet it held equal if not greater importance. For those interested in running for WSGA senate, forgetting to sign the white piece of paper was an automatic disqualification from the running.

Each color serves a purpose. Rules and regulations, a petition that allows you to obtain signatures, nominations and to simply sign your name.

After following the rules and regulations correctly and meeting the qualifications, prospective senate members have options to help get their names closer on the ballot.

“There’s two avenues I can go. I can either be nominated by one of the activities that I’m a participant in, which is what this banana yellow sheet is for,” said Cassandra White, Freshman History major. White is a current member in the WSGA senate, considering reelection. “Then there’s the hot pink. He said magenta, but I’d say it’s more of a fuchsia. This is the old school petition to run, where you go around and talk to constitutes and just get people to sign. I do personally prefer this way, because not only

There’s nothing good about a faceless, nameless senate.”

Once elected into the WSGA senate, senators are then required to attend every senate and committee meeting. They can act as “liaisons” for organizations, communicating their wants and needs to the senate as a whole. These liaisons can help organizations with promoting events, paperwork or answering policy and other questions that may arise.

“It’s a great experience.

It allows you to meet so many different people because you’re not just limited to the people in the senate,” said White.

“The senate is just a forum.

Who you really talk to are your classmates, are your peers, the teachers and the administrators of the campus.”

Students new to WSGA were also a part of the meetings.

“We hold elections every year so that we can cycle in new students and make sure that we’re running efficiently,” said White. “It’s always good to bring in new ideas.”

It’s really good way to get involved with school, the campus,” said Chris Bird, Freshman. “Several of my friends are in it, and I’d like to do my best to make it even better than it already is. I don’t have any big ideas right now, but if something comes to my attention and I think that it needs to be changed or I need to say something about it, then I won’t hesitate to do so.”

Even after the green, orange, yellow, questionable fuchsia, the blue if you aspire for President or Vice President, you still have to gather up your nerves and not forget to simply sign your name on the white piece of paper.

Missionary free from captivity, resentment Cindy Rose

Summer Workman

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Washburn Student Government Association and Christian Challenge sponsored an event Feb. 1 at White Concert Hall with an address given

by Gracia Burnham. Burnham gave a compelling and inspirational speech about her experience in captivity in the Philippine jungle that began in 2001 and lasted for more than a year.

Burnham and her husband, Martin, had served as missionaries in the Philippines for 17 years while raising three children. They were celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at a resort when they were kidnapped by a terrorist militant group of Muslims, the Abu Sayyaf.

During their ordeal, they were marched through jungles, slept on the ground with only the clothes on their backs or old dirty rice sacks. They suffered from exhaustion, illness and had little to eat. They saw some of their fellow hostages set free and others murdered.

“As the days grew on and on, as we got hungrier and dirtier, as we suffered from lack of sleep because we could not get comfortable on the jungle floor, as we got dysentery and diarrhea, when there was no place to take a bath and no clean clothes to change into, I started feeling more like an animal than a human being,” said Burnham.

In the end, during a skirmish between the Philippine military and the Abu Sayyaf, Burnham was wounded and her husband was killed.

Since that time, Burnham has written two books and traveled around the country and other parts of the world telling her story. “[My husband] always knew what to say,” said Burnham. “I didn’t know what sort of man I was married to. I knew he was a neat Christian guy, but I never understood, before our captivity, his Christ-likeness, his thinking through things in a godly way.”

Burnham also spoke about how her relationship with her captors changed over time.

“I thought we were the good

Her husband died while in captivity but Burnham has forgiven her captors and reached out to them. Burnham has written two books about her experiences. guys and the Abu Sayyaf were the bad guys at the beginning,” said Burnham. “It’s hard to forgive when you think you’re the good guy. When (we) finally realize we’re all the same, we can start to forgive others.”

Burnham gave an update on some of her captors, who are now being held in a maximum security prison in Manila.

“The Martin and Gracia Burnham Foundation are working with them, doing projects like fixing the roof of their barracks to show them love,” said Burnham.

Burnham said her former captors send her letters and that her latest letter from a captor asked her to raise his two children.

However, Burnham’s captors have not officially apologized.

“I don’t know that he’d say he was sorry,” said Burnham.

“He’s sorry he’s in jail. I’m not sure he’s sorry about his Jihad, but he wants more for his children.”

The story about the Burnhams made headlines in the United States after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Burnham has been interviewed on several television programs since her return and continues to make appearances to spread the word of her story. She has written two books: “In the Presence of My Enemies” and “To Fly Again.”

Both books are available at the Washburn University Bookstore.

The education department continues to embrace upper level learning as they added Scott Myers to their faculty last fall.

Myers teaches graduate level classes to those students wishing to go on to further their studies in the education field in the areas of superintendent work. The current classes that he teaches are offered in the evenings.

Graduating from a masters program in building administration at Washburn and then receiving a doctorate in education leadership from Kansas State University, Myers focuses his class values on the prospect of continuous growth and reflection in learning.

After receiving his masters, Myers served as a high school English teacher, principal and superintendent as he is also a native of Kansas and grew up in the Topeka school district.

One of the many reasons that Washburn was a good opportunity for Myers was its close proximity to where he and his family already live. Because of this, he can easily be a professor at Washburn without having to relocate his wife and children, one of whom is still going through junior high.

When it comes down to it though, Myers feels that there are many reasons and inspirations that led him to becoming a professor.

Higher Education: Scott Myers focuses his graduate level education classes on his values of continuous growth and reflection in learning.

Myers recently became a contracted professor at Washburn. He received his masters degree from Washburn before receiving a doctorate from Kansas State University.

“I get excited about new learning,” said Myers. “One of my passions for life is to continue to grow academically and intellectually, and it really fits to serve as a professor since that is one of my true passions.”

Myers believes that public education is one of the number one ways to truly keep alive our nation’s democracy and hopes to start each of his students on this journey through leadership.

“I’m really drawn to Washburn and the department of education’s drive towards education in reflective practitioners,” said Myers. “It is something I want to instill in my students, because we’re not going to grow if we don’t reflect.”

Also reflected in Myers goals was to “help build capac-

ity of the next generation of school leaders” while he teaches at Washburn. Starting off as an adjunct professor a few years back, Myers just recently became a contracted professor.

He hopes to renew his contract at the end of the year and continue on the path of being a fulltime professor in the education department.

Officers of the honor society Psi Chi met with members of the WSGA last Wednesday and were approved for funding for Psi Chi members to travel to Maryville, Mo., and present at the Great Plains Psychology Conference.

“To take 24 Psi Chi members, it’s going to cost about $2,700,” said Jared Moser, president of Psi Chi. Other organizations helping to support students with costs of travel, fees and other expenses include the Washburn Transformational Program and the psychology department.

Psi Chi is an honor society for psychology majors who are in the top third of their class and have at least a 3.5 GPA in their psychology classes.

“They give us volunteer opportunities,” said Letecia Perez, senior psychology major.

She added that there are also many opportunities for students to enhance their academic resumés; one of which is the conference, which will be hosted by Northwest Missouri State University in March and lasts for two days.

Perez, along with 23 other psychology majors, have spent the last year researching their

topics.

“I designed an experiment and after next week, I am going to run my results and finish my poster,” said Perez.

Students will have a chance to present either an oral or visual representation of results from research they have done over the past year.

Perez, who participated last year, as well, is doing her project on

gender differences in math anxiety among college students, and she believes it’s projects like this that can benefit not only her, but every university student.

Student presenters will be showing their research to psychology professors from universities across the Midwest region. Some will be judging them, and students have an opportunity to earn honorable

recognition. Last year, Perez and her partner won first place.

Perez points out that honorable recognitions like this are what universities will be looking for when it comes to accepting a student to a psychology graduate program.

Psi Chi’s calendar of events this semester also includes participating in the National Alliance on Mental Health Walk in May with the psychology club.

Perez added that Psi Chi is also involved in many other volunteer opportunities throughout the community. They work closely with other organizations. Some of them include Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Family Service and Guidance Center and Breakthrough House.

Moser added that meetings for Psi Chi are held at noon on the second Friday of every month in Henderson 21, and everyone is encouraged to come.

Romney dominates Florida, Nevada Rob Burkett

WASHBURN REVIEW

A week after the first three primaries finished in the republican primary season, the first major test of the process presented itself to candidates.

With an attrition rate of more than one candidate per primary, the field has thinned out considerably since the Iowa caucus Jan. 3. Gone are the likes of Michele Bachman, Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry.

The field has narrowed down to the four main candidates: f o r m e r Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, Congressman Ron Paul and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum from South Carolina.

With Florida’s 50 delegates up for grabs, all the candidates made their way into the sunshine state to campaign. With the largest war chest of funds among the remaining candidates, Romney’s election organization was in full swing two weeks prior to any of his opponents touching down. With a concerted attack effort on the Gingrich campaign, combined with a strong showing by Romney in the two debates prior to voting day, Romney was able to come out victorious against his main rival. Romney finished the campaign in Florida with 46 percent of the vote, while Gingrich took just 31 percent.

The defeat didn’t seem to phase the Gingrich campaign as the candidate spoke defiantly after the results were tallied.

Failing to actually congratulate Romney, Gingrich went on to invoke the words of Abraham Lincoln.

“Now, you might ask — in the face of a 5-1 onslaught — how can that be true?” said Gingrich. “And I’ll give you

the answer. It was stated at a historic moment in 1863, in dedicating our first national military cemetery by the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who said we have government of the people, by the people, for the people. And we’re going to have people power defeat money power in the next six months.”

Romney, in contrast, acknowledged his three opponents before launching into what has turned into a steady drumbeat of attacks on the policies of President Barack Obama.

“Three years ago this week, a newly elected President Obama faced the American people and said that if he couldn’t turn the economy

around in three years, he’d be looking at a one-term proposition,” said Romney. “We’re here to collect.”

In the meantime, the other two candidates have taken a resounding beating at the hands of the more mainstream Romney and Gingrich.

With just 13 percent in the Florida primary, Santorum, a self-proclaimed family values candidate, failed to resonate with many voters.

Santorum followed up the performance with another dismal turn in Nevada, the next state up on the primary schedule.

Polling just shy of 10 percent overall, the social conservative has yet to come in better than a distant third place since his razor-thin win in Iowa.

Similarly, Paul has been taking as equally a bad turn in the polls as of late. With sevenpercent in Florida and a better showing of 18 percent in Nevada, the libertarian leaning candidate has been consistent in his resolve to keep speaking on issues that resonate with him and his supporters. Paul shows no signs of slowing his campaign, though his on the ground operations have started to dwindle as his reserves of campaign funds continue to be exhausted by the primary process.

Moving forward with three of the first five contests under his belt, Romney will try to take his momentum into Colorado tonight. With 36 electoral votes on the line, it figures to be another lively night of speeches by the candidates.

WASHBURN REVIEW

In 2008, Sen. Barack Obama had pledged to take public funding and shun the influence of what he referred to as, “the influence of specialinterest money in politics.”

What a difference four years will make in the life of a politician.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were no need for such organizations to exist or at least for them to not matter as much.

With the establishment of Priorities Action USA Action, advocates of the president are starting to ramp up their fundraising efforts in response to Republican efforts up to this point.

Karl Rove, former deputy chief-of-staff for the Bush administration, has been a busy bee helping to spearhead Republican fundraising. American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, both of which are Rove products, have raised $51 million in the past year.

This alarming move, at least to Democrats, has spurred a reversal of the president’s stance on the so called Super PACs. For those that don’t know, a Super PAC is a fundraising organization that is defined as an “independent expenditure only committee.” The organizations that fall under this classification have a few things that distinguish them.

First, they are allowed to take as much money in as they want from anyone who wants to donate.

Unlike with federal laws limiting donations directly to an election campaign to $2,500, these organizations are allowed to receive donations from corporations, unions and private citizens alike numbering in the tens of millions of dollars.

These organizations also

cannot talk to campaigns except through the media. So while this money might be ostensibly raised to support a candidate, whatever activities they might fund are not regulated by the people who are running the actual campaigns.

In the 2008 election season, Obama had pledged originally to take public tax payer dollars, which under current campaign finance laws would have put a cap on how much money candidates can spend.

When it became apparent that his campaign could raise an almost limitless amount of money, Obama reversed course and ran for the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

With the increasing proliferation of the fundraising abilities of the two major parties, concern has to be raised over the undue influence of large special interest influences on political campaigns.

While I am a proponent of free speech and people being able to support a candidate they believe in, one has to pose the question, “when is too much, too much?”

In the world of money equaling free speech, is there a breaking point at which voters are eventually pushed out of the equation?

A sensible idea would be to adhere to a more egalitarian system of campaign finance laws. If someone wants to donate $1 billion to a campaign then that is fine. However, what is wrong however with simply saying that candidates can only spend a certain amount of money in a campaign?

Think of it as a salary cap, which seems as about as American as it gets considering the NFL operates under one currently. No one seems to mind having a level playing field financially in sports.

With politics once famously referred to as a “political bloodsport,” perhaps its time to think about the idea of curtailing the out of control spending that occurs in an arena that has a more profound effect on our day to day lives than anything which could occur on the gridiron.

Film accentuates women’s struggle in Congo Kelly Hurla

WASHBURN REVIEW

“Ruined.” Among the many definitions found in Merriam Webster, there was one that stood out. It simply read: “the act of destroying, laying waste, or wrecking.”

The play covers adult situations and topics, but is ultimately for a greater cause than just entertainment.

“It’s about women in the Congo who have survived gang rapes, what happens to them

afterwards and their struggles to make a life for themselves,“ said Sharon Sullivan, associate professor of Washburn theatre department. “It sounds grim, and it is in a way, but the play also offers up some hope, as well.”

Covering some of the issues brought up in “Ruined,” the diversity initiative will be showing a documentary film entitled “The Greatest Silence: Rape In The Congo.” A major reason behind scheduling the play this particular month was for people to have the opportunity to be educated

Radcliffe leaves Potter behind Jordan Loomis

WASHBURN REVIEW

In Hollywood’s most recent horror film, “The Woman in Black,” director James Watkins gives a new twist to an old tale of misery and regret. Based on the 1983 novel by Susan Hill, also made into a stage adaptation and television miniseries, the newest adaptation to “The Woman in Black,” with new screenplay by Jane Goldman, is nothing but promising—if a good, old fashioned London horror story is what you’re looking for.

When widowed lawyer, Arthur Kipps, is sent to the small town of Crythin Gifford to put the affairs of the late Mrs. Alice Drablow to rest, he unknowingly walks into a horror story straight from the sickly marshes. Children are locked in their houses, unable to play outside or look a mere stranger in the eye. Why? The parents of Crythin Gifford are too afraid of a local secret that they refuse to tell, leaving Arthur Kipps to wallow in the marshes himself.

Especially when he crosses the marshlands to visit the broken and worn Drablow Estate, entitled Eel Marsh House, where he sees a mysterious woman, whose sickly face and mourning attire keeps reappearing amongst the shadows.

When Arthur begins to understand that the old mansion is not abandoned, the secrets begin to unfold and the identity of the mysterious woman is revealed, along with her deadly hostile habit. Children aren’t safe, neither are adults, from the woman in black.

“The Woman in Black,” like other gothic trademark horror

about these issues before attending the play. The documentary is available free of charge for viewing in the Kansas Room of the Memorial Union from noon until 2 p.m., Feb. 8.

“Ruined” will premiere at the Andrew J. and Georgia Neese Gray Theatre at Washburn University on Thursday Feb. 23 at 7:30 p.m., with encore performances Friday and Saturday evening, as well. Sunday, a matinee will begin at 2 p.m. After Friday and Saturday’s performances, the audience will have the opportuni-

ty to talk with the cast and other audience members about the issues that arise during the play.

Admission is free for students with their Washburn I.D. and $8 for general admission.

“We’re going to donate three dollars of every ticket to the City of Joy in democratic republic of Congo, which is an organization that helps survivors of these sexual assaults,” said Sullivan.

According to drc.vday.org, the City of Joy “will provide women a place to heal emotionally as they rebuild their lives,

turn their pain to power, and return back into their communities to lead.”

“Being African myself, I feel like this play is showing a side of the war that not many people get to see. It’s destroyed countless homes, lives and populations,” said Farai Harreld, a sophomore nursing major.

Harreld portrays the character Salima in “Ruined.” The play is bringing a small piece of another world for people to see.

The recommended audience is for those 16 and older due to

the adult language and situations that arise within the play.

According to Sullivan, the show is unlike anything Topeka has seen before.

“And even though there are a lot of sad things, it’s basically a story about hope and survival, the resilience of the human spirit and ultimately about our ability to love one another,” said Sullivan.

Exciting new things are happening in North Topeka’s Art District, and the future looks bright. Not only did Serendipity have its ribbon cutting last weekend as the newest addition to the fairly new arts district, but also some important information was shared about the future of NOTO. During the February First Friday Artwalk at the NOTO Community Arts Building, John Hunter, Washburn professor and co-chair of the NOTO arts district project, announced that an anonymous foundation from New York City decided to donate $50,000 in 2012 to go to the further development of NOTO. “We were contacted because of our website, by a foundation from New York City, they found NOTO,” said Hunter. “Through a series of steps back in May they sent a team here [and] they met with city leaders to see what they were doing at the time.”

The anonymous foundation will continue to give $50,000 a year for the next two years if in 2013 NOTO can raise its own $25,000 and again in 2014 if NOTO can raise its own $50,000 in that year. The first donation has already been incorporated into the 2012 budget, which will help in their development of their Saturday market. The new goal of NOTO leaders is to raise the $25,000 needed to obtain the additional funding by getting as many local artists and vendors to open shop in NOTO, and the NOTO Saturday Market, opening April

father was murdered in cold blood by Tom Chaney, played

by Jeff Corey. When Mattie discovers her father has been murdered, the shrewd tomboy seeks out a man with “true grit” to bring Chaney to justice.

When she learns of the reputation of trigger-happy drunkard/U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn (Wayne), she hires him to seek out Chaney. Their partnership is soon interrupted

by La Boeuf (Campbell), a Texas Ranger who seeks to bring Chaney back to Texas to hang for a separate murder.

After Rooster and La Boeuf attempt to leave Mattie behind,

she fords a river on her horse “Little Blackie” and follows them. Eventually, the trio set out together to chase down Chaney and his gang.

Overall, I thought the 1969 version of the film was a lot more entertaining.

While the 2010 version certainly was more aesthetically pleasing, John Wayne’s performance as Rooster Cogburn was both more comedic and more convincing than Bridges.

It earned him his only Academy Award. I thought the standout performances in the 2010 version were by Damon and Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Mattie

films, stuck true to its director.

Watkins (The Decent 2 and Eden Lake) succeeded in mastering the marvel of ghost stories and shadow play when the screen remains dark throughout film.

The film is both effective as a horror movie and ineffective, in my opinion, due to casting roles and ill attempts at scaring the viewers. To those who have seen the Harry Potter series, Daniel Radcliffe, who played Arthur Kipps, could not be taken seriously as a character who had a four-year-old child. Radcliffe’s youth and current famous image as the wizard who saved the world, conflicts with his image as a depressed father.

Visually, I found the film excellent. From the brilliantly planned moments that terrified any viewer to the small moments that brought the story together—Watkins did an excellent job. The only question left is are you brave enough to look into the mystery yourself? “The Woman in Black” awaits.

Ribbon Cutting: Chamber members, along with Serendipity owners Jenny Torrence-Harris, Shannon Bannerman and Chris Page, participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony for NOTO’s newest business.

7, will hopefully help do just that. “[The goal is to] help artists renovate the places, market the area on a national basis,” said Hunter. “[To] really promote something that is highly successful right here in Topeka, Kansas, our NOTO arts district.”

Serendipity, being the newest addition to NOTO, has much to offer to Topeka as well as the First Friday Art Walk.

It is a new event venue which will be participating in every First Friday, and can be booked throughout the month for business meetings, parties, weddings, or any event. There is a full bar, big screen televisions and room to bring in caterers.

“We have committed to every First Friday Artwalk, and plan to have live music every

first Friday,” said Patty Torrence, co-owner of Serendipity.

In addition to adding even more venues to the First Friday Artwalk, NOTO plans on attracting more vendors and artists to participate in their NOTO Saturday Market. Their goal is to compliment the downtown farmer’s market by focusing on arts, crafts and activities as well as representing our rich cultural diversity one can find in Topeka by attracting certain food vendors. They hope the people leaving the farmer’s market will continue their day by heading to NOTO. “We want there to be booths to sell food while people are looking at art and listening to live music,” said Anita Wolgast, co-chair of the NOTO Arts district project. “We are looking to do an art-type district focus-

ing on arts, and crafts….as well as have food that reflects that rich cultural diversity; [such as] Native American Indian tacos, German bierocks and Italian sausage.”

Because the NOTO Saturday Market is brand new, they are looking for a new logo, and are hosting a logo contest. The entry deadline is Feb. 27, and to find more information about requirements and entering, visit www.notoartsdistrict.com. The winning entry will be on display during April’s First Friday Artwalk at the NOTO Community Arts Center located at 922 N. Kansas Ave., and a $500 honorarium will be given to the winning artist.

Ross.

Wayne had some classic

ble-gun shootout on horseback, the Duke roared out “Fill your hands, you son-of-a-bitch!”

Just read the words, I guarantee you can imagine that sentence in a John Wayne voice.

Wayne’s acting was also perfect for one of the more emotional scenes, in which Cogburn tells Ross of his family. He tells about his only son, who never liked him much, and how his wife left him to go back to her ex-husband, a hardware store clerk. He said he told her “Goodbye, Nola, and I hope that nail-sellin’ bastard makes you happy this time!”

I definitely recommend seeing this version of the movie first if you haven’t seen the 2010 version yet. Both movies, despite being almost word-forword the same in some parts, are distinctly different movies thanks to the acting, scenery and cinematography.

Also, if you enjoy this movie, a sequel was produced in 1975 called “Rooster Cogburn,” with Wayne reprising the lead role.

Netflix: Original ‘True Grit’ a John Wayne classic Josh Rouse

WASHBURN REVIEW

After seeing the recentlyreleased 2010 version of “True Grit” on Netflix-featuring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin—I was excited to find that the original 1969 version of the movie was also available on instant queue.

The 1969 version, which was based off of a 1968 novel

by Charles Portis, is also a starstudded film, featuring John Wayne, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper. The plot centers around Mattie Ross, played by Kim Darby, whose

Classic War Stories: Members of the community gather to read, “Shared Stories of the Civil War.” There will be a second reading next Sunday.

History comes alive in a ‘Hipp’ way Tanner Ballengee

WASHBURN REVIEW

Like a blast from the past, Kansas history was brought to life last Sunday, Feb. 5, as citizens of the Topeka community gathered at the Ritchie House’s Cox Communication Heritage Education Center for the first of the “Shared Stories of the Civil War” performances that will continue on through the month of February.

The free-to-the-public performance consisted of six community volunteers reading from the first installment of the performances, titled “John Brown: Martyr or Madman.”

The volunteers were made up of four women and two men.

“I really love Kansas history,” said Ralph Hipp, evening news anchor for Topeka’s Channel 13 News, WIBW. Although he works every night to deliver Topeka its most current news through the television, Hipp still found time to be the narrator for the performance and will narrate the remaining three shows as well.

Hipp said that the performances are sort of like a play but more like a historic reading. He said that he is glad that events like this are still happening past Kansas’ 150 year birthday, and is interested in Kansas teens learning more about their state’s rich history and its unique role in the Civil War. Hipp stated that since he had volunteered, he began reading more about the main subject of the first story, John Brown.

“It’s been very helpful,” said Hipp. “I’m always finding

more out about the guy.”

The other three performances will be held on the remaining Sunday’s of February at the same time and location, at 1118 S.E. Madison.

The remaining performances are titled “The Underground Railroad,” “Guerilla Warfare: Bushwhackers and Jayhawks,” and “Quantrill’s Raid and Order Number 11.”

“The purpose is to familiarize the public of these events that helped shape up Kansas,” said Bill Wagnon, volunteer of the Shawnee County Historical Society and professor of history at Washburn University.

According to Wagnon, “Shared Stories of the Civil War” is a program of the Kansas Humanities Council and the Freedom’s Frontier group.

They commissioned a group of specialists to write a series of scripts from documents such as letters, diary entries, and articles around important events in 1850s and ‘60s that happened in Missouri and Kansas during the Civil War and the Border War. Wagnon stated that he feels programs that celebrate Kansas history like this are important to the community because they emphasize the legacy and impact of the historic events.

“They are posed in such a way that people who experience the stories are challenged to see the complexity of the event,” said Wagnon.

Musical Tuesday Shelby Atadgi

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Memorial Union has offered a nice twist to studying this spring as Kathy Reser, the director of the memorial union installs Tunes on Tuesday outside of the Outtakes Corner Store. For the past three weeks, there have been a variety of bands and genres pouring in on Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m to 1 p.m to offer students a ch.ance to. sit back, relax and enjoy listening.

“We want to keep this program going as long as it continues to be successful, and so far, I think it has been,” said Reser.

Reser and Janel Rutherford, assistant director of business services, began Tunes on Tuesday last spring and have continued it every semester since with success. During this time, students not only have the chance to expose themselves to new music, but they are given discounted sandwiches from dining services through the Outtakes Corner Store and one-time item offers from the Washburn University Bookstore. The idea is to encourage students and faculty to take time to enjoy themselves, even if only for a few moments, through the hectic schedule of college life.

“It’s really relaxing and a

great place to study in between classes,” said Jon Trotter, sophomore legal studies major.

This past week featured a trio called the Patrick Lentz Band.

The week before last was a duo featuring Brendan MacNaughton and Keith McGeeney. They featured a guitar/vocalist and bongo drums.

This band has been featured at Washburn on several occasions and has hopes to continue to come back to entertain in the upcoming semesters..

“We have always gotten a positive response,“ said MacNaugton. “The biggest thing is that we are able to play original music here and expose students to something they might not have heard before.”

You can find out more about the Brendan MacNaugton Band or listen to some of their original music by visiting brendanmacnaghton.com.

The upcoming dates for Tunes on Tuesday will be Feb. 14 and 28, as well as March 6. These dates will each be featuring new bands and continued lunch and bookstore discounts.

Local businessman has ear for Topeka The first in a three part series Josh Rouse

WASHBURN REVIEW

For Paul Schneider, owner of Rundown Recording Studios in Topeka, nothing less than the best is acceptable. Since Jan. 2009, when he opened up shop at 2515 S.W. 6th St., he has set a precedent of never settling for ‘good enough’ with the music he produces.

Schneider, who splits his time between producing albums for bands, being a full-time firefighter in Lawrence and writing his own music as a solo artist, takes a perfectionist mentality with his work. As a matter of policy, Rundown Studios refuses to produce anything less than radio-quality songs, including demos.

“What my goals are, much like Gizmo Pictures and other places in town, I feel that if we as artists, because really being an engineer or producer is an artist on this side, if we agree not to produce sub-level material then we will give Topeka or wherever we live a name in that industry, in that art,” said Schneider. “So instead of just taking peoples money and just giving them ‘good enough,’ I’m not a ‘good enough’ guy.

It’s never ‘good enough’ for me. If I can get a little bit better, I’m gonna get a little bit better.

So my future plans are literally that, just to continue to try to

push the envelope so eventually, instead of people going to Nashville to record, they come here.”

Schneider, who taught himself how to record music by trial and error, said his goal for perfection the reason he doesn’t hire other engineers or producers.

“I don’t take on other engineers or producers, I’m real picky about how it sounds, and part of that is because I am self-taught,” said Schneider.

“I didn’t go to school for this, but a lot of times I am the kind of person that feels that school sometimes can cloud you with its own perception of what you should know. For me, I wanted to know what I wanted to know.”

He began his recording experiments with his own music, but was soon being asked by other bands and musicians to work on their projects. Eventually, his workload got to the point where he decided his hobby into a business. Prior to moving into his studio, Schneider attempted to do the recordings remotely, ultimately deciding he needed a studio to meet his production standards.

“Mixing is hard enough anyway,” said Schneider. “Every instrument has its own timbre, every kick drum has its own timbre, every band is different in the manner that they

I just needed a more stable place, and so I started doing it at my house and then my wife kicked me out, and so I opened up the static studio.”

Since then, Rundown Studios has produced albums for a variety of bands and genres, including rock, metal, Chris-

tian music, classical, Celtic music and rap. Some of the bands Schneider has recorded for include Monk’s Wine, Head Change, Crisis 3.0, Order Number 11 and NeoCircus.

The studio recently finished up production on the Dead Sevens’ debut album, “Alienated,” and is currently working with the band on a follow-up album.

Schneider said he occasionally had to turn bands away if they

weren’t ready yet to produce a quality album, but that most of the bands that he’s encountered have been musically sound.

“I have been really lucky in the fact that the majority of bands, I would say that 80 to 90 percent of the bands that have come here, have already been pretty well polished and ready to go,” said Schneider. “So I’ve been able to work with some really good artists who haven’t

needed that development before we start that process.”

Sixteenth Annual Kansas Silent Films Cindy Rose

WASHBURN REVIEW

The 16th Annual Kansas Silent Film Festival begins on Friday, Feb. 24th at 7 p.m. in the White Concert Hall. Friday night kicks off with the 1914 comedy short “Pigs is Pigs,” starring John Bunny, after which two feature films will play.

Saturday, movies will begin at 10 a.m., with a 1917 short by Charlie Chaplin called “The Cure,” followed by a 1925 Walt Disney short called “Alice in the Jungle,” a live-action animated film.

All movies will be accompanied with live music, the same way it was done back in the days of the silent movies.

“Admission has always been free,” said Bill Shaffer, Producer/Director at KTWU and director of the film festival.

“We try to make it accessible to an audience with varied incomes. “ According to Shaffer, the crowds always impress the staff.

“We get a really interesting clientele. There are families, college students, older folks; not just film buffs. A lot of different folks come to see these,” said Shaffer.

W h e n commenting on his early years with the festival and and how it has evolved, Shaffer said he was a projectionist and helper.

The festival ran on a Saturday continuously “from 9 in the morning until 9: at night with no breaks for lunch or dinner. The only problem with that was the musicians got really tired.”

He still marvels at how they did it.

“But it’s changed since then, we have two different musicians who play piano,

two who play the organ and an orchestra who comes in from Colorado,” said Shaffer.

He believes the change has definitely helped.

“We added Friday nights bout seven or eight years ago.

It was just an idea we had so we could get started a little earlier,” said Shaffer. Now it seems to be the most popular. Friday night is usually comedy night. It’s really a very full house.”

Last year’s festival was a salute to the first Academy Awards held in 1928 and an actual Oscar from the awards of that year was on display.

Melies is a major character featured in Martin Scorsese’s new hit film “Hugo,” which is up for 11 Academy Awards.

His character is played by Ben Kingsley.

A recently discovered hand-colored version of Melies’ “Trip to the Moon” has been restored and was featured at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival last May. The Academy of Arts and Sciences ran it in September.

Right down the street from Washburn’s campus is French restaurant, Chez Yasu, and it’s the perfect spot to take your honey for Valentine’s day.

The atmosphere is quaint, with light yellow walls and various pictures of flowers all around. The tablecloths are white, with fresh flowers on each table, and for lunch they use paper napkins. For dinner they use linens, as well as a more expensive menu. Although the menu I was served is their everyday menu and will be different on Valentine’s Day, the food is guaranteed to be good no matter what you get. I have eaten here on many occasions in the past three years and have yet to be disappointed.

Recently I ordered the appetizer special, calamari sautéed in a lemon butter sauce,

which was delightfully tangy, but still rich and full of flavor.

Mushrooms and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice were the perfect compliment to the chewy-but-not-tough calamari.

I had to stop myself from eating the whole appetizer so I could save room for my entrée, which was the beef medallions on a bed of white rice, with the vegetable of the day. The vegetables served consisted of good portions of cooked baby carrots and sugar snap peas, which seem to be the chef favorite because those are what I remember having the past times I ate there. The beef was cooked to perfection and tender enough I didn’t need the steak knife provided with the dish.

With the class being two times a week, Paul’s students are quickly moving into the semester. “Our first major assignment is approaching rapidly,” said Paul, “We’re doing a large-scale portraiture.”

“While this is helpful in learning drawing, I’ve found that it can quickly become repetitive for students who aren’t stretching their own creative imaginations by altering the image and producing their own works,” said Paul.

Therefore, during his second semester teaching Drawing One, Paul changed his teaching tactics. “I added more individualized projects that challenged students to come up with their own ideas, and they did not disappoint,” said Paul.

Now, according to Paul, the course is divided into equal parts of experimentation in drawing techniques, replication and personalized creative projects.

Currently this semester and in the future, Paul has a few new ideas he’s waiting to unveil. “Hopefully, there will be more experimentation and the continued production of creative work,” said Paul.

Paul’s real hope is for a combined course that he could teach, instead of the two he’s separately teaching now. “I do hope to revive a “sociology-ofart” course in the future as a way to “blend” my core department with my secondary one in art.”

Blues break Top 10 following win Rob Burkett

WASHBURN REVIEW

Facing off against a team which the Lady Blues took down on Pearl Harbor Day, Washburn put the hurt on Fort Hays State University Saturday in Topeka.

Early on in the game, the Lady Tigers looked to execute a game plan designed to take the outside game of Washburn senior guards Ebonie Williams and Stevi Schultz away. Giving away the post to the Lady Blues turned out to be FHSU’s undoing.

With a powerful performance by senior center Cassie Lombardino in the first half, Washburn turned inside to find its scoring. Lombardino put in 10 points in the first half and finished the game with 12 points and 8 rebounds overall.

“They were pressuring on the perimeter and the wing so we wanted to get it inside,” said head coach Ron McHenry. “She was our pressure-release valve in the first half, getting us some space on the perimeter.”

While Lombardino battled underneath the goal, the steady hand of junior guard Laura Kinderknecht guided the Lady Blues. With timely shooting from outside, Kinderknecht went 2-for-4 from three point range, and led outside shooters with six points. The speedy guard also helped to keep the team flowing in their offensive sets, contributing three assists in the first half.

Kinderknecht finished the game with 11 points and six assists, with just one turnover. Saturday’s contest was the seventh start in a row for the St. Marys, Kan., product.

“We had [senior guard] Megan Lassley go down with an injury earlier in the season,” said McHenry. “She stepped in and

“She seemed like she was making up for it though in the second, when she really found her shot.”

As Williams and company continued to pound away from the outside, Washburn’s front line also went to work on the boards. Junior forwards Sierra Moeller and Tiara George each also chipped in six rebounds a piece. The work on the defensive boards helped to minimize the offensive chances for the Lady Tigers.

Shooting a red-hot 62 percent from the floor in the final period, Washburn pulled away as time expired. When the final buzzer sounded, the Lady Blues walked away from the game with a 75-55 win.

Washburn now turns its attention to the University of Central Missouri Jennies Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. in the MIAA Game of the Week. WU last locked horns with UCM on New Year’s Eve, when the Lady Blues took a hard fought win in Warrensburg, Mo., 74-66.

Led by senior forward Nicole Caddell, UCM will attempt to make up ground and position themselves for a top-three seeding in the conference postseason tournament. Caddell currently paces the Jennies with 15.8 points while pulling down 7.4 rebounds per game, placing her in the top six in the MIAA in both categories.

UCM has won eight of its last nine games, the last loss came against current conference leader Pittsburg State University on Jan. 28. No. 9 Washburn will defend their second place position in the MIAA conference standings 5:30 p.m. Feb. 8 in Lee Arena.

Floodwaters Rise in Whiting: Topeka Fire Department respond Monday evening to an activation of the fire suppression system in Whiting Fieldhouse. The system was activated after a malfunction resulted in one of the water nozzles coming off in the basketball practice facility area. The leak poured water onto the court, pooling on the floor. The gathered water seeped into the floor and leaked down into the athletics department weight room located directly beneath the court. Facility services were not able to readily describe the nature or extent of any possible damage.
