What parking problem?: With construction on the parking lot near Petro Allied Health Center running behind schedule, students at Washburn have faced a daily challenge of finding a place to park. Rick Anderson, vice president of administration and treasurer, calls it a “walking problem, not a parking problem.”

WASHBURN REVIEW

Annually, the Topeka Chamber of Commerce sends a group of about 50 people to communities around the United States that are similar to Topeka in population size, economic and industry for ideas to revitalize our Downtown area. Washburn law student Angel Romero, along with Zach Snethen, were two people that went to Greenville, NC on September 15-17, 2011 to see how the Greenville community had revitalized their downtown area, and brought back some ideas on how we as a community could do the same. Greenville is well known for their biking community, and hosts the U.S. Cycling Tournaments every year. “Greenville is committed to keeping the community healthy, and have separate bike trails, similar to Shunga,” said Snethen. “We’re really proud of the work people in Greenville have done, they have a genuine passion for cre-

are currently transitioning with a design team to work with our community about what is unique about Topeka. “It’s a dynamic process. It needs to involve the whole community to make something unique for everyone to enjoy,” said Snethen. “We need to take ownership and take pride in our community to really creating a community, not just a cool downtown.” “We encourage students to keep up to date in our community for ways to get involved,” said Romero. “The best involvement is to be involved in activities and patronizing local-area businesses. Washburn students are just as much a part of the Topeka community,” said Snethen.

“It may be about changes, but it sounds boring. It’s an Evolution. Evolution of Adam. Me,” says senior artist Adam Koger. The Washburn Art Building on campus, currently houses Koger‘s “evolution.” The exhibit is required as part of Washburn University’s transformational experience for those graduating with a bachelor in fine arts degree. Koger’s emphasis for his degree is photography. It’s within these photographs and other works of art that show his own evolution. Koger’s first college experience was at Kansas State University. Koger spent four years at the university but

“I wasn’t looking for abandoned houses. They started drawing me,” said Koger. Shortly after beginning to photograph abandoned houses, Koger felt connected. “Two years ago, I became a single father,” said Koger. “The mother decided she didn’t want to be a mom. I was left to raise a (now four year old) daughter by myself and finish school. I felt kind of abandoned at the time.” To deal with these emotions, Koger channeled them through his photos, explaining that it was therapeutic for him to get that out through his art.

Bods earn road win

Another team fell victim Saturday to the momentum of the Washburn Ichabods as they toppled the Truman State University Bulldogs, 42-14. The Ichabods are now 6-0 for the first time since 1946, making head coach Craig Schurig the winningest coach in Washburn University history. The Washburn Ichabods are currently sitting at the No. 5 position in the nation on the American Football Coach Association top 25 poll. “It feels good for a team in the middle of the season,” said Schurig. “You‘re really just focused on one game at a time. We feel like we’ve played well and earned the wins that we’ve had. We feel like we could play better, but really you just try to focus on the next opponent, and try to get better for that next opponent.” Washburn’s defense was the first to take the field as they held the Bulldogs to just 20 yards of total offense in the first drive and had a sack by senior defensive end Dakota Palan-Johnson. Thanks to solid rushes and big pass completions, the Ichabod offense scored the first rushing touchdown of the game on a five-yard carry by senior running back Justin Cooper. Truman State’s following drive once again end in a punt after a joint sack by sophomore defensive end Adebayo Oladapo and junior defensive lineman Jayveri Kelly. The Ichabods tacked more points on to their lead after a four-yard touchdown reception by senior fullback Greg Schoenberg. TSU’s drive would be cut short by yet another joint sack this time by freshmen offensive lineman, Bryan Dale and Oladapo shutting out the Bulldogs in the first quarter, 14-0. Before officially getting settled into the second quarter the Ichabods received their third touchdown of the night by Washburn sophomore wide receiver, Ronnell Garner

WASHBURN REVIEW

Children and games will be a fixture this upcoming weekend, as Washburn gets ready to celebrate an annual tradition that brings people of all ages to the campus. Family Day is an event that students and their families look forward to each year. With a little bit of everything for everyone, the event is one of the highlights of the year. Traditionally, Family Day is celebrated earlier in the year, but due to changes in the football schedule this year it arrives in the middle of October. Among the events most anticipated this year are the inflatable carnival rides which children and Washburn students alike enjoy. While events like the childrens’ attractions are one outlet of enjoyment, other events off campus will also be part of the celebration this year as well. Topeka Civic Theatre in particular will take the lead as it features a variety of performing arts. Starting off on Friday, “The Witches” a youth play that tells the story of a boy and his grandma as they attempt to foil the plans of the Grand High Witch. On Saturday TCT will also feature an improv comedy performance by Laughing Matters Jr. a youth group that the theatre presents periodically.

“We wanted to help promote Family Day with some of our youth projects,” said Lynda Denton, administrative assistant. “Family Day is so much more than just what is happening at Washburn. The entire community is so family oriented.” The weekend will also feature two of Washburn’s most successful athletics programs with the Ichabods football team, currently No. 5 in the country, featured in a “Pink-Out” game against the University of Central Oklahoma during the afternoon. The football game will be followed by an evening exhibition of athleticism as the No. 5 ranked Lady Blues volleyball team will take on the University of Nebraska-Omaha in UNO’s final visit to Washburn before they move to Division I sports. The Family Day slate of events will finish off with a presentation at the Topeka and Shawnee Country Public Library by author Sherman Alexie as he discusses his book, “War Dances” which is the iRead book at Washburn this year.

WASHBURN REVIEW

“The very first thing I remember knowing about myself was that I was a girl, but born into a boy’s body,” said Stephanie Mott, who was born as Steven Mott. “The second thing I remember knowing about myself was knowing this meant I had to hide who I was.” She knew from the beginning that she was more like her sisters than brothers. Thus, the battle within herself begun. Mott struggled through her early years, thinking she couldn’t talk about it with anyone. When puberty hit, her body began changing in ways she didn’t want it to. The lines between boys and girls were becoming a lot more separated and defined. “It was the 1960s and basically impossible to be this way, definitely in Kansas,” said Mott. At the age of 17, she attended her first year at the University of Kansas. “Every moment of my conscious existence took place on the battlefield of who I am and who I thought I had to be,” said Mott. “Sometimes the battle lines seemed to be drawn between me and the God that created me.” Mott constantly lived in fear that someone would find out about her transgender identity. Within her first year at KU, Mott discovered alcohol. “It changed the way I felt. I didn’t have to feel that pain and I didn’t have the fear that torment,” said Mott. “I didn’t have to feel the shame and I didn’t have to feel the fear.” Over the next 30 years, Mott abusively used alcohol and drugs to hide from her reality. Fast forward to November 2005, when Mott became homeless. She moved to Topeka because of the quality of the Topeka Rescue Mission. Mott still struggled as a man, but trying over and over again to be something she wasn’t, was taking its toll. At the mission, Mott was able to get into treatment for alcohol abuse and start seeing a counselor about her gender identity. In July 2006, Mott was invited to attend the Metropolitan Community Church. “My second week there, the pastor read a verse,” said Mott. “It was 2 Corinthians 5:17, ‘Therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new

creature. All things are passed away behold all things become new.’” This was the first time that Mott felt it was okay with others and okay with God for her to be the woman she truly was. “I was greeted with this unconditional love that Jesus talks about in the Bible; this ‘I have love, you look like you could use some, here it is no strings attached.’” On July 23, 2006, Mott signed the attendance sheet as ‘Stephanie Mott’ for the first time. For Mott, Stephanie was truly born this day and she never looked back. Today, Mott attends Washburn as a senior in the Bachelor of Social Work program. For three and a half years, Mott has been the transgen-

She is also on the Board of Directors for the Metropolitan Community Church. In 2010, Mott and others founded the Kansas Statewide Transgender Education Project (K-STEP). She is the state vice-chair of the Kansas Equality Coalition and chair of the local Topeka chapter. For Mott, it’s important to share her journey for others to find out they’re not alone. “I have this ability to create that in the lives of other transgender people and also to provide education for people who quite frankly don’t have the opportunity to see and get to know somebody who’s transgender,” said Mott. “Often times they just really don’t understand, and people are a lot of times afraid of things they don’t often understand.” For more information about K-STEP, the Kansas Equality Coalition, or about transgenderism, contact Mott at stephtopeka@yahoo.com.

Honor society tutor students Fall brings vehicle challenges Michael Vander Linden WASHBURN REVIEW

Oswego Storage and Housing is considering building a new warehouse in New York. Oswego has 2 million common shares outstanding. The shares price at $11. Assume the risk free rate equals 4.5 percent with the beta equaling .75 and the risk premium being 11.5 percent. Estimate Oswego’s required return on its equity investment on the new warehouse. Most will admit they’d have no idea where to begin with this problem. However, there is a local organization helping students determine know not only where to start on these problems, but how to figure the entire solution. “Beta Alpha Psi is finance

and accounting society with a main goal of helping younger accounting and finance students with understanding concepts,” said Danyl Chapman, community service director of the club. Every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 11-1, Beta Alpha Psi is offering tutors to help these younger students. These tutors are not just any ordinary student either. They are some of the brightest students in accounting and finance majors. “To be involved with Beta Alpha Psi, you have to be a junior with at least 54 credit hours and maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher,” said Chapman. This includes 23 members already involved in the organization and 21 candidates look-

ing to join within the next year. This number of committed students to their education helps Beta Alpha Psi to maintain a schedule of events outside of just tutoring. “We invite various CPA firms from Kansas City and Topeka area to meet and talk with us,” said Chapman. “We will also be volunteering at Harvesters in November and bowling for Junior Achievements in October.” So, students that need help with accounting and finance, this group is more than qualified to help with any homework needs and are willing to help whenever needed.

WASHBURN REVIEW

Between broke students, faculty that haven’t received raises in four years and staff that works for minimum wage, fall always brings challenges to those driving on a budget. According to the AAA, the average cost of maintaining a car over an entire year breaks down to roughly $4.44 per mile. Much of that cost is accumulated during the summer months, but fall is when many experts say that drivers tend to spend their maintenance dollars. “October is one of those months where people get themselves ready for the winter months,” said John Neilson, director of AAA Approved Auto Repair. “The last thing anyone wants is to get stuck on the side of the road when the weather turns bad.” Neilson recommends that owners find a mechanic that they can trust and get in this month as many different auto repair businesses are running special deals in anticipation of the winter season.

“If you wait until something wrong happens with your vehicle its going to cost so much more than it would taking care of it now,” said Neilson. “This is true in two ways. First, its better to replace something before it damages other related parts on your car. Second, the prices that are out there for things like oil changes and battery replacements will be more expensive later on as well.”

Car Maintenance In addition to the routine maintenance for a vehicle, Neilson also recommends that owners take a look at their tire tread, as well. According to Neilson, many accidents at the beginning of bad weather season are attributable to poor tread on tires that reduce traction and increase the dangers of hydroplaning and loss of control on slippery surfaces like snow and ice. One of the other things that many are not aware of but that can cause undue stress to a vehicle is the loss of tire pressure as the temperature continues to drop outside. “We recommend that ev-

eryone check their tire pressure,” said Rick Wilson, manager of Midas on Topeka Boulevard. “People don’t realize that loss of tire pressure affects fuel mileage and can damage tire tread.” Wilson also said that his shop has seen an increase in traffic as people start to realize that the cold season is on its way. “Yes, we’ve seen a lot more people coming in or making appointments,” said Wilson. “Most people are coming in to get their belts and fluids checked right now.” Currently Midas is offering a special on their oil and filter change. The service normally runs $44.99 and is currently on special at $24.99. In order to take advantage call ahead to set up a time to get your car looked at by dialing 235-3461. “We hope that everyone will come down and take advantage of what we have to offer,” said Wilson. “Save yourself the headache of costly repairs and get in for some maintenance.” Rob Burkett is a senior mass media major.

Washburn needs to take parking situation seriously Ryan Hodges

WASHBURN REVIEW

As a resident of Washburn Village, I feel I must take exception with vice president of administration and treasurer Rick Anderson’s comments in the Sept. 21, 2011, issue of the Washburn Review. Contrary to Anderson’s statements, it is not easy to find a parking space near the Village. I recently walked, as I often do, from the Village to the sacrificing my valuable parking Memorial Union at around space and might not be able to 10 a.m. During this walk, I find a reasonable parking spot paid particular attention to the upon my return.

lot to call our own. I recognize that Anderson is fairly new to his position at Washburn, having only held the Vice President of Administration and Treasurer job since November, 2010, so maybe he isn’t quite familiar with the concept of what it means to be an Ichabod. One of the things that makes Washburn unique, and the primary reason why I chose to attend this university in particular, is that it has the feeling of a small community, rather than just being another mega-sized university. I was personally offended by Anderson’s insinuation that Washburn students are “lazy.” It isn’t a matter of walking across campus… I do it everyday. It is, however, about students being able to find safe and secure places to park in the general vicinity of campus. I understand that Anderson’s position here is more “bean counter” than academian, but his attitude toward the students of Washburn frankly concerns me. The parking situation at Washburn is not going to go away. And as we look at recordsetting enrollment this year and a future filled with expansion, it is vital for this university to address its students’ needs.

Dancing to success: Actress Julianne Hough credits her sucess and much of her fame to her appearance on “Dancing With the Stars.” Hough stars in the re-make of “Footloose,” which opens in theatres this Friday.

Hough plays it loose for film Brian Dulle

WASHBURN REVIEW

Most widely known for being a two-time winner of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” country music singer and actress, Julianne Hough, is getting ready to cut loose in front of audiences worldwide this Friday ainthe remake of “Footloose,” directed by Craig Brewer, comes to the big screen. Hough said that she owes basically everything to “Dancing with the Stars.” “I think that the exposure that I got and the fan base have been so amazing and followed me from day one,” said Hough. “[People] know, my music and my acting now, I definitely would not be (wearing that) today without that show.” Hough said that a lot of people don’t know that she has been singing, dancing and acting her whole life. “I think each career path that I’ve chosen has fulfilled something different inside of me,” she said. “This has been such an amazing experience doing ‘Footloose’.” Some audiences might wonder what it is like dealing with all the pressure of creating a remake to an incredibly beloved film. Hough said if she wasn’t confident, she wouldn’t be promoting this movie. “And I know Kenny Wormald and Craig Brewer. We are all on this tour right now and going around country,” she said. “And I think if we were worried, we wouldn’t be doing it.” Hough said when she first

found out they were doing a remake of an iconic movie like “Footloose” she was not looking forward to it. “It is really close to my heart. I grew up watching this movie and lived in Utah where it was filmed,” said Hough. “I thought nobody ever does remakes justice, but when I found out that Craig Brewer was attached, there’s nobody that could have done it justice the way that he has.” Hough said that there were many great moments in the making of the film. “I mean, all the dances were so much fun, because there was just good energy,” she said. “The cowboy scene, my mom and my three sisters are actually in, and so that was really fun having them on set.” Hough said that she knows for a fact, fans of the 1984 film will still enjoy this movie just the same. “We’ve been doing screenings around town, and diehard “Footloose” fans that are skeptical about this movie go in so ready to hate on it,” said Hough. “Then they turn around and come out of the theater loving this version. It was everything that they loved about the original and so much more.” Hough said one thing that she felt like she missed from the original film was depth to the character of Ariel, played by Lori Singer. She felt like she was just kind of a bad girl and was a trouble-maker. “I saw this version and saw that Craig had re-written her to show the depth that she has and the relationship that her and her

father have and then you see why he acts like he does,” said Hough. “I really wanted it to be my own, and when we were shooting this movie, we really felt like it was our own movie, that this was the first time we were ever shooting this movie and the scene and these characters.” Hough said there wouldn’t have been a better choice to do this film other than Craig Brewer. “I think that he is well known for his gritty movies and how real and honest they are. “Footloose,” back in the day, was not bubble-gum, but when you look back at it, it kind of seems a little cheesy,” she said. “But it’s very easy to make that cheesy again.” Hough said she is proud and thinks that people who saw the original are going to be impressed with the things that didn’t need to be there for a generation’s sake, making it more current, and she thinks the people who haven’t seen it are going to be surprised. “I think that in our time now, we kind of need a movie like this, she said. “There are not a lot of teenage movies that have a lot of morals and messages and heart. It’s all about the CGI, which don’t get me wrong, I love watching, but I think it’s hard to come across a good teenage movie.”

Known for using music to complement his storytelling, director and screen writer Craig Brewer brings back the 1984 classic film “Footloose” onto the big screen this Friday with the same classic story but with a different look to it. Brewer said that he knows how to put music together in a movie that is thrilling or compelling and is a huge fan of the original “Footloose.” “Not only was I into the soundtrack of the movie,” said Brewer, “but I actually figured out a way where I have one of those pop-loader VCRs, and I have these audio outputs on the back of the VCR, and I kind of put together that I could go buy a RCA cord from RadioShack and plug the VCR into the back of my boom box and I can make it a cassette tape copy of the movie, of the audio.” “So I actually had the dialogue and everything from “Footloose” on my Walkman when I would walk to school,” he said. Brewer said he knew he was going to need a balance of songs that were untouched from the original. “We begin with Kenny Loggins’ Footloose,” he said. “We also have Deneice Williams’, Let’s Hear It for the Boy, but we also remade these songs as well.” Brewer passed on the movie twice because he saw how they were going to be making it. “They kind of got the same team that had made ‘High

School Musical’,” said Brewer. “I shook my head saying ‘I don’t know what they’re going to do with that,’ but “Footloose” is more than a dance movie.” Brewer said when he decided to do “Footloose” he had to make peace with the fact that there was going to be a wall of hate coming his way. “That’s the prayer that I gave to “Hustle and Flow” and “Black Snake Moan” on every day of my shoot,” he said. “I have only known polarizing (stripes), and I have never known a (hiss).” “I’ve known people coming up to me later and saying they saw my movie on TV or on DVD and that it was really good and if they had known it was going to be like that, they would’ve gone to see

some of the cheesy songs,” Brewer said. “We live in a time where Red State-Blue State Divide is rearing its ugly head again and again, and I think that we managed to make “Footloose” more relevant today than it was in 1984.” Brewer met with the director of the original film, Dean Pitchford, to talk about the script. “I let him know that he made something for me when I was 13 that made me feel like I wasn’t alone,” said Brewer. “I told him what I wanted to do, and he was very supportive of me, and he’s seen the movie recently, and he loved it.” “As a writer, it was special to him to see a new interpretation of his ideas and to see that it worked more than 25 years later and that it’s still relevant.”

it in a movie theater,” said Brewer. Brewer said that he had never been more confident in his life as a director that he nailed a movie. “I nailed the “Footloose” remake,” said Brewer. “I think that nobody would’ve made it better than the team that we put together.” Brewer said that there is a tremendous amount of love for the original “Footloose”, but there is also an urgency to tell a movie that had the ideals and energy of the original “Footloose” that had the energy of the original. “I know I get eye rolls for that because people look at Brian Dulle is a senior mass “Footloose” as the big hair media major.

NBC, as usual, has nothing to offer anymore; I mean, if they’re desperate enough to keep “The Office” on the air in spite of the fact that it barely had enough momentum for two seasons and the main character bailed, they clearly cannot have anything good to bring to the table this fall.

The design of the corn maze changes every year, and this year’s design is a cow. For the little kids, Gary’s Pumpkin Patch offers a small tire maze that is easier and shorter to get through. Another kids’ attraction is the Cornpit Peril. Three thousand pounds of corn kernels were poured into a bin. Kids are allowed to crawl around and jump in. Gary’s Pumpkin Patch offers a five-acre pumpkin patch, so there are plenty of pumpkins for everyone. “Gary’s Pumpkin Patch has it all!

WASHBURN REVIEW

It’s like music to Washburn’s ears. What better way to get a music fix then come to this Friday’s Symphony Orchestra concert? This is one of the five orchestra concerts to be held this year, and it’s free. The Symphony Orchestra is made up of about 50 students. This includes music majors, minors and even non majors. “It’s a diverse body of very talented students,” said Chris Kelts, Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Orchestras. The concert will consist of classical and traditional symphony pieces. “I pick the music ac-

cording t o t h e educ a tional experience f o r playe r s

[or] if I think it will please the audience,” said Kelts. Music composed by Wagner, Mozart and Tchaikovsky are all in the evening’s lineup. Kelts further explains his decision making for the music by saying that some pieces include most of the instruments to make for more players. He also tried to find lesser known music with few players to give a contrast to the program. The Symphony Orchestra is Kelts’ largest ensemble group. He also teaches Enjoyment of Music, offers conducting classes, viola lessons and is responsible for overseeing and conducting the String Orchestra in addition to the Symphony Orchestra. “I wish more of the student body would take advantage of our free concerts,” said Kelts. “If you’ve never been, it’s a great experience.” The Symphony Orchestra concert will be held at White Concert Hall this Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Phases, almost everyone goes through one during their lifetime. Whether it is a childish phase, like carrying around a favorite toy, or a habitual phase, like smoking—it almost never has a good outcome. Especially, when the outcome is life threatening. Bernie McGrenahan, Los Angeles Daily News’ “Most important comedian in the Country today,” knows personally about how dangerous phases, such as high risk drinking, can affect one’s life. “At this age it’s not just a college phase,” said McGrenahan. “It’s a drinking problem.” The presentation consists of two separate shows; a 30-minute comedy show and then a 30-minute discussion about high risk drinking. “That’s my show,” said McGrenahan. “Come laugh and have a good time. Let’s do some comedy and relax.” Then, after the audience

Comedian jokes about serious issues: Bernie McGrenahan stresses a serious message through jokes in the Washburn Room Tuesday night. “My 19 year old brother shot himself, said McGrenahan. “Alcohol and drugs are no joke.” McGrenahan uses his personal stories in the hope of affecting one student if not many. Senior English education major John Henderson said that “the stories about his experiences with alcohol and how it affected him and his family personally were very powerful.”

One of the ideas behind the presentation is just for the audience to enjoy themselves. “I want everyone to have a good time,” said McGrenahan. ”But at the same time, I want students to be given the opportunity to address any problems they may or may not have at this present time with alcohol.”

shook the room with its dramatic intensity. Much of the highenergy could be atoned for the brass section. It was like one big thrill ride that as quickly as it started, it was over. To allow for the viewers to catch its breath, the Ensemble followed up with Miles Davis’ “Boblicity”, a composition very laidback and cool. It makes sense as the song was off of Davis’ Birth of the Cool album. The masterpiece maintained a lowlevel of intensity throughout. Michelle Flanagan made sure of this, keeping the song on the low with her piano playing. “Only You” by the legendary Count Bassie was next as Doty returned on vocals. The song deals with someone professing their love for the only person that they feel is right for them. The band accompanied her in an over-dramatic fashion. Another Bassie arranged song emerged as the band fired

through Deedles Blues. A call and response was present as Doty commanded her baby to “Come Back!” The ensemble would respond with an uproarious and flashy response. The WU Jazz Ensemble I concluded the show with “Gaining On You”, a fast paced and sizzling composition that got heads nodding. Treinen joked during the introduction that Andy Rhodes would wear the finish off of his brand new bari-saxophone. Rhodes did just that, leaving a few chunks left behind. The band continued with ferocious momentum and ended with a sonic-boom.

has laughed and begun relaxing, McGrenahan delivers his lesson. “Let’s deliver this serious message that has always been delivered in high school by power point slides,” said McGrenahan. “This time though, let’s make it important.” McGrenahan began his presentation, “The Happy Hour Comedy Tour,” 14 years ago. “I got into a lot of trouble as a kid,” said McGrenahan. “That’s what part of my show is based off of—my own past experiences and the current binge drinking and overuse of alcohol that is taking lives of students around the country.” Though, unlike most comedians, McGrenahan has a very serious aspect to his presentation. “I had three DUI’s by the time I was 20 years old,” said McGrenahan. “I went to jail for six months and dropped out of college in merely six months.” His personal experience is a huge concept to what McGrenahan wishes to teach students.

Last Thursday, the Washburn University Music Department presented “An Evening of Jazz” to the public. The program featured Jazz Ensembles I & II and Jazz Combo I all under the direction of Craig Treinen. The WU Jazz Ensemble II crew was up first, and they did not disappoint. Their opening of Alamode dazzled audience members with solos by Taylor Dunham on trumpet, trombonist Danielle Brown, Evan Coleman on tenor saxophone and Daniel McCready on guitar. Next was the sultry and casual Early Afternoon Blues led by the saxophone playing of Coleman and Amanda Kathrens. Jordan Ward also contributed to the composition with her slick piano playing. To conclude the night for Jazz Ensemble II was Duke Ellington’s Cotton Trail.

The song was very brass-heavy, including solos by trumpeter Caitlyn Priddy and trombonist Andrew Anderson. The WU Jazz Combo I entered the stage playing the funky and buoyant Lucky Southern. The group was comprised of tenor sax Casey Artzer, trombonist Easton Bell, Nusret Ozakinci with Bass, Sawyer Treinen on guitar and Lucas Whippo on the drums. The quintet was followed with “Every Time We Say Goodbye”, a bluesy and soulful song about bidding ado to the one we love the most. Taryn Doty added resonance to the song with her sultry vocals. During the song “All of Me”, everyone in the group complimented each other and begged to ask the question: “Will you not take all of me?” Last, but not least, was the WU Jazz Ensemble I. The opening number, “Gingerbread Boy”, began with a bang and

Receiver steps up for Ichabods Jordan Loomis

Bods bully Bulldogs, bring on Bronchos

Defense first: The Washburn Ichabods offense has been explosive after the first six games, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the defense that has lead the team get off to a 6-0 start. The Bods sacked Truman State a school-record nine times Saturday, including three by senior defensive end Dakota Palan-Johnson. Photo by Mike Goehring, Washburn Review

Continued from Page 1 for 72 yards. WUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second drive, after a quarter of big TorĂŠ Hurst receptions, set up the Ichabodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth touchdown as Washburn senior running back Justin Cooper put the Bods up 28-0. The sputtering Bulldog offense strove to start a spark that would ultimately remain unlit. The Ichabods had to utilize their punting unit after a 10 yard sack on Washburn senior quarterback Dane Simoneau by Truman State sophomore defensive end Matthew Smith. The Bulldog offense returned in pursuit of a score only to be disappointed by a sack for a seven yard loss by Kelly, followed by an interception by Washburn freshman full safety Calvin Kenney. Kenneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pick placed the Ichabods at the 30yard line in Bulldog territory. Unable to break into the end zone, the WU offense called upon Washburn junior kicker Jeremy Linn who failed to con-

necton a field goal from the 33yard line. The next two drives left both teams empty handed until the final 40 seconds of the half where TSU saw their first score even after a six yard sack by Palan-Johnson. Truman State senior wide receiver Andy Mundwillerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 34 yard touchdown reception revived the lifeless Bulldogs offense at the half. Time spent in the locker room seemed to only heighten the dynamics of the WU offense as they came out full speed on their first drive. In the first minute of the third quarter, Washburn senior quarterback Dane Simoneau hooked up with Washburn senior fullback Greg Schoenberg for a 36 yard touchdown reception, extending the Ichabodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 35-7. Midway through the third, TSU acquired its second score by sophomore wide receiver Dallas Grier, for an 18 yard reception. The third quarter ended with bouts of punting and yet another sack on Truman State

senior quarterback J.B. Clark, by Washburn senior linebacker Marty Pfannenstiel. The fourth quarter opened with a sack by Palan-Johnson, his third of the night. The final score of the game would be a 73 yard run touchdown by Cooper. Cooper had 19 carries for 168 yards with three touchdowns, which earned him the title of MIAA Athlete of the Week. Washburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense came away with points in each quarter of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, racking up 553 total yards. Simoneau went 17-for-29 for 275 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Garner had three catches for 139 yards and one touchdown. Hurst had four catches for 86 yards and Schoenberg had two receptions for 40 yards accompanied by two TDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Another teammate of Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is also adorning the recognition of MIAA Athlete of the Week. The Ichabod defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful performance set a school record with nine sacks

in a single game. The three that came from Palan-Johnson totaled 18 yards and earned him the MIAA accolade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to watch a lot of film last week, and it gave away tendencies of the tackles and basically the O-line,â&#x20AC;? said Palan-Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened is that after awhile of doing certain moves, you trick them into thinking youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do something else, and they do what you want them to do. You manipulate the O-line to have it your way, so I ended up getting sacks. Our defense was well prepared.â&#x20AC;? Washburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle to stay on top continues this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Yager Stadium with the Ichabods facing the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos.

One of Washburn Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three starting receivers, Matt Kobbeman, a sophomore majoring in criminal justice, has proven himself worthy to his coaches already, after only two games this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done very well so far this season,â&#x20AC;? said Washburn head coach, Craig Schurig. Kobbeman started his football career as a sophomore at Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka as a receiver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m home grown, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say,â&#x20AC;? said Kobbeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my friends and family supporting me so far throughout my entire career. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons as to why Washburn University was my first choice in a college.â&#x20AC;? When asked about the start of his college football career, Schurig said that Kobbeman spent his freshman year learning from one of Washburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current alumni. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Matt was a freshman, he red-shirted and worked underneath some very good playersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one of them being Joe Hastings, a current player for the San Francisco 49ers.â&#x20AC;? As a friend and mentor, Hastings has left a lasting impression on Kobbeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe taught me a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Kobbeman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just learning from him was everything to me as a freshmanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;He taught me how to see the breaks in a play, how to place and set up the defenders,â&#x20AC;? said Kobbeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, Joe taught me everything I know about playing as a receiver.â&#x20AC;? Kobbeman is still in contact with Hastings now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to talk to him as much as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to, but I actually just talked to him two weeks ago,â&#x20AC;? said Kobbeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing good.â&#x20AC;? Kobbeman has worked hard for his starting position

WASHBURN REVIEW

Change isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether it involves a new town, a new school or new people; it always requires the very best in a person. Washburn Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 2011-12 assistant volleyball coach, Taylor Pohlman, knows this. Coach Pohlman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin her career in volleyball at Washburn University. She began it during elementary school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to choose a sport to play, and regardless of the other sports offered, my first and only choice was volleyball,â&#x20AC;? said Pohlman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been pretty good at it.â&#x20AC;? After continuing to play volleyball all throughout high school, Pohlman was asked to go to a junior college in Tampa, Fla., where she played two seasons. She was recruited to play at Nova Southeastern University soon afterwards, where during her first season, she was injured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dislocated both of my shoulders, had my knees scoped and had a hip reconstruction,â&#x20AC;? said Pohlman.â&#x20AC;&#x153;After my injury, I knew I wanted to continue working with volleyball.â&#x20AC;? After graduation, Pohlman received some exciting news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had actually landed an assistant coaching job at a high school that was affiliated with Nova Southeastern University.â&#x20AC;? The head coach of that high school left before the season began, so Pohlman ended

They were district runner-ups and regional qualifiers, as well.â&#x20AC;?

WASHBURN REVIEW

The world has seen many heated rivalries over the years, such as Allies vs. Axis, North vs. South and Oprah vs. obesity. Last night, the Washburn University Lady Blues volleyball team settled another Turnpike Tussle, winning 3-2 against the Emporia State Hornets. The Lady Blues started off coming from behind to clinch the first set with the Hornets countering back in the second. WU nearly won set three in a close contest, but ESU made sure to answer by the end. However, WU came back to win the last two sets. “We won, but it doesn’t feel very good,” said Chris Herron, Lady Blues head coach. “I thought they out-played us, especially for the first three games. Even though we won game one, I don’t think that we played that well.” After a lackadaisical second set, the Lady Blues sensed the impending danger of defeat in order to take back the match in their home court.

“Game two, they beat us bad,” said Herron. “Game three, we made a great comeback, but there was no sense of urgency until it was 17-10, and then all of a sudden, we’re tied up at 25.”

Even after attaining a victory over WU’s bitter adversary, there are still several issues for the team to address going forward. “Winning doesn’t make everything better,” said Herron. “We have some deficiencies, obviously as a coach, I have to address. Each individual kid needs to get a little bit better. I need to do a little bit better job. “I take this win, and we got to run with it. I’m happy that we won, but never very happy with the way we played.” One of Herron’s biggest

disappointments of the match was his feeling that the Lady Blues did not show much positive playing or competitive spirit until halfway through the third set. “Even though we lost [set three], I thought we showed a sense of urgency,” said Herron. WU started on the comeback trail after they were able to slow down ESU’s right side in the middle of the match with well-played serves and blocks. “Their right sides were killing us in games one and two and half of three,” said Herron. “Then we were able to gather some momentum.” With WU’s next match against the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Herron has plans to ready his team. “We’ll have some nice practices the next couple of days,” said Herron. “Let’s put it that way. We’ll be ready.”

At age 9, little Mollie Lacy first picked up the game of volleyball. Even though it was not her favorite sport, she continued playing through her high school days and picked up a deep love for the game. Of course, growing up in Lincoln, Neb., she was impacted by the local Nebraska University Volleyball Team. “I went to so many college volleyball games growing up,” said Lacy. “I fell in love with the environment and wanted to be one of them.” It also helped her confidence when she had more success in high school than most can imagine. Throughout her high school career, her team won the state championship two years, and her local club team won the national championship. Personally, she was named an American Volleyball Coaches Association High School Senior All-American, Second Team Super State, First Team All-State and First Team All-City. Her legacy still lives on at Lincoln Pius X High School in Lincoln. She has held the school records for 452 kills in one season and a career total of 160 blocks since she graduated. With such great success, Lacy had opportunities to play volleyball at many different colleges. However, when she visited Washburn, something seemed to catch her attention. “I fell in love with the campus,” said Lacey. “It was the perfect size for me because I didn’t want a big university.” Another reason she said she wanted a small school was the chance to play, and she got

She ranked second on the team in attack percentage, and even earned the award of third team All-MIAA. Lacy continued to improve in her second year, leading the team in kills, kills per set and attack percentage. In fact, she not only set a school record, she led the entire conference and ranked fifth in the nation in attack percentage. These stats helped her earn first team AllMIAA, first team All-Region and even honorable mention All-American. She continued her success through her junior year and picked up another first team All-MIAA and first team AllRegion. However, Lacy is not one to brag about herself. In fact, the personal goals she had for herself were never the main focus for her. “Coach Herron pushes us all to be the best team we can be,” said Lacy. “All the things I did just fell in behind the success the team was having.” Nothing has changed for her mindset heading into her final season at Washburn either.

She wants to achieve success in winning conference, hosting conference, hosting regionals and hosting the Elite 8. This would mean continuing to win in the fashion they have. Currently, the Lady Blues sit at No. 5 in the nation with a record of 19-1. Typically, with an athlete like this, academic success is put on the backburner. However, Lacy matches her on-court play with her off-court performance. Lacy is currently finishing her nursing program at Washburn with a 4.0 GPA. This has earned her numerous awards including; three-time MIAA Scholar Athlete, three-time Academic Excellence Award, twotime MIAA Academic Honor Roll, Academic All-District and a CoSIDA Academic AllAmerican award. “I actually didn’t even have a 4.0 in high school,” said Lacy. “But my mom graduated with a 4.0 GPA, and I realize that academics will follow me after my volleyball career is over.” Michael Vander Linden is a freshman mass media major.

Pohlman then came to Washburn University after her previous coach, the head coach from Nova Southeastern University, received a special phone call from Washburn University’s current head colleyball coach, Chris Herron. “My head coach from Nova University actually knew coach Herron here at Washburn University,” said Pohlman. “So, when coach Herron called and asked if my head coach knew

anyone who would be available to help coach this year as the Lady Blues assistant coach, we went through the whole application process.” Two months later, Pohlman had landed the job. “I’m trying to help run the program now and it’s been a very interesting experience,” said Pohlman. “I’m still getting used to a few things, such as the needs of the team, the paperwork, and the time schedules but it’s been a lot of fun so far. I truly love it.”

He has 1.78 goals against average and a .925 save percentage, which are 8th and 14th in the North American Hockey League. Goaltender Eric Rohrkemper has also been strong for the RoadRunners. While he is 3-30 on the season, Rohrkemper has a 1.77 goals against average and a .915 save percentage. This is opposed to his 2.46 goals against average he registered last season with a .893 save percentage.

Plagued with difficulties in goaltending through portions of last season, the Topeka RoadRunners knew this season would have to be different with seven strong divisional opponents ready to take aim. Rookie goaltender Josh Hillegas may be the sparkplug the team needed. Hillegas stopped all 27 shots he faced on Saturday night as Topeka (6-3-1) overcame a slow start to defeat the Wichita Falls Wildcats 3-0 at Landon Arena. “It was pretty special,” said Hillegas. “It was very fun to be part of it.” With the win, Topeka swept the weekend series. They trounced the Wildcats 6-2 in their home opener on Friday night. During the first period on Saturday, Wichita Falls (2-7-1) fired 14 shots against Hillegas, but he was able to turn them all aside. Topeka only mustered nine shots on goal in the open-

Doucet scored his second goal of the season to put Topeka on top 2-0. During the second period, the RoadRunners reversed the shots margin of the first period, outshooting Wichita Falls 14-9 in the second period. In the final frame, the score would remain 2-0 until forward Robbie Davis landed the puck in an empty net to seal the victory at 19:16. The game was not without its fair share of physicality as three misconducts and one game ejection were handed out between the two teams. Eightytwo penalty minutes were recorded in total. Despite the win, Topeka head coach Scott Langer knows his team can perform better. His example of better play was Friday night’s contest. “It was just enough to win, certainly not the effort we had (Friday) night,” said Langer. “Some veterans took the night off, which is disheartening at this time of year. I thought Hillegas kept us in the game. He played well and gave us a
