WASHBURN REVIEW

Need knows no season.

Washburn students have been filling Topeka’s needs year-round. This generosity is needed most during the holidays, and Washburn’s student organizations have stepped up their efforts as the year comes to a close.

The Washburn Review

Question: So I broke up a fight between some drunk girl and her boyfriend and by the end of the night they were back to sucking face. Why is it okay for girls to beat on guys but guys are “women beaters” or abusive or whatever? Why is that okay?

Well, my friend, this is one of the many gender dichotomies impacting our western world.

This is something that isn’t popularly talked about, or discussed.

Gender is not black and white.

There are many kinds of men, as there are many kinds of women.

However, a cultural bias regarding women as “weaker” feeds

into this quandary, resulting in men who are smacked around or abused by their girlfriends and are considered “wussies” if they stand up for themselves.

The moral of the story is this: it is acceptable for women to abuse men (and for men to abuse women) because we allow it. As a society, we ignore signs of abuse because most of the time we don’t want to get involved. The truth is that it’s NEVER “okay.” In many states now cases of domestic violence result in both people being carted off to jail while the authorities sort it out who did what.

However, the bigger ques-

Opinion BOD “Trying to find time to meet up with all the different groups that I have. Also, have to do group projects/presentations all at the same time.”

ST ST

tion is this: when did it become okay in society for anyone to abuse anyone else? When did we decide that we hold sway or power over someone else’s body in such a way to demean them or make them lesser? When did suppression become the status quo? When did we learn that hitting and dominance makes us “men” or “stronger”? When did silencing your partner become just something to do when they “step out of line”?

The problem is we see each other as objects, or something to control. Humans covet possessions and sometimes those possessions come in the form of other humans: it’s why men punch other men for hitting on their girlfriends, or why girlfriends puncture tires when their lovers are unfaithful. I am blowing this out of proportion, and using gross generalizations, but you get the point: we do crazy things when it comes to love. However, we aren’t fixed objects. We are not possessions. We are people: equals, partners and to be appreciated and honored, not controlled and subjugated.

People stay in abusive relationships for many reasons.

I won’t go into all of them, but the fact still remains, when it comes to love it’s not about pulling punches, it’s about not ever throwing them, no matter what gender you are.

hunger, learn about ‘other 85 percent’ Rahul Venkat

WASHBURN REVIEW

ing.

The disparity was contrast-

A dinner last Thursday in the Memorial Union was advertised as a banquet, but it turned out to be a feast for a few and a hunger salve for others.

People entering the Washburn Room drew their seating lots at random. Half sat on burlap mats laid across the floor. They were allowed a serving of bland rice, no second helpings and no utensils.

Another 35 percent had simple chairs but no tables. They were allowed two servings of an edible meal consisting of rice and beans. They were given utensils.

A final elite 15 percent were segregated from the rest of the room and seated at cloth-covered roundtables. These diners enjoyed a four-course meal comprising salad, bread rolls, a main entrée and cheesecake for dessert.

But even among these elite diners, several seats went empty, representing at once the abundance and the wastage of food in the first world.

The event last week was the annual Hunger Banquet hosted by the Oxfam America Club of Washburn.

As part of its larger mission to eradicate poverty, Oxfam combats the causes of famine. Washburn’s chapter educates people about food and famine issues, and it encourages people to contribute with gifts of time and money.

Angelique Flinn, a senior dual-majoring in biology and human services, organized the Hunger Banquet. She believes a sensory experience is an important way of getting the message across.

“The Hunger Banquet is a very visual representation of the world and of the different income levels,” said Flinn. “I think having that visual aspect to it and being able to see that 50 percent of the people here in this room would be

Roughly 85 percent of the world’s people live on less than $3 per day. considered to be living in poverty really opens people’s eyes.”

Washburn’s Oxfam America Club had a visible presence with this year’s banquet. Wyatt Robinett, a sophomore biology major, co-presented opening remarks with Flinn. In his portion, Robinett gave acknowledgement and praise to the people attending the banquet.

“Your presence here today shows that you are concerned.

You want to learn more. You want to make a difference,” said Robinett.

Robinett cited that despite the vast wealth in the United States, one in every five American children live below the poverty line.

“Everyone on Earth has the same basic needs. It’s the circumstances into which we were born that are different. Some of us are born into relative prosperity while millions, through no choice of their own, are born into poverty,” said Robinett.

The focus then shifted to the middle one-third who live with uncertainty and instability.

“You live on the edge,” said

Robinett. “It would take only one drought, failed harvest, or serious illness to throw you into poverty.

Your job pays a paltry amount. It allows you just electricity and a few years of schooling for your children, especially if they are boys.”

People seated on the floor, representing the world’s majority, were told that their entire lives were about survival.

“You earn $2.70 a day. Every day is a struggle to meet your family’s basic needs,” said Flinn.

“Finding food and water can consume your entire day. It’s quite likely you don’t get your minimum number of calories your hard-working life requires.”

Mark DeGroff, communica-

tions director for the Topeka Rescue Mission, spoke for a few minutes at the invitation of the Oxfam America Club of Washburn. He described how the depressed economy has plunged many citizens, formerly in the middle class, into the lower class.

“We’re talking about people we might go to school with, attend church with, or see at the grocery line in Dillons as they’re buying a smaller amount of food,” said DeGroff. “We’re not talking about ‘them’. We’re not talking about ‘somebody else’. We’re talking about our neighbors.”

Reaching for it all: Senior Hillary Hughes looks to put one over the net during a match early this season. Washburn will square with Kearney in the first round of the NCAA tournament Thursday in St. Paul, Minn. UNK has beat WU in both meetings this season.

Lady Blues gear up for last hurrah Luke Warnken

WASHBURN REVIEW

The task is pretty clear cut -- win and move on, or lose and fly back home early.

For the Washburn (31-3, 15-2 MIAA) volleyball team, winning their first round match against the University of Nebraska-Kearney means more than just moving on in the NCAA tournament, it is a sign of redemption.

“This is probably the most revenge we’ve had on anybody, yet,” said Abby Whittman, a junior setter.

Twice this year, the Lopers have defeated the Lady Blues, both gut-wrenching losses for Washburn. In their first contest, the Blues won the first set 25-22 on Kearney’s home court. But the Lopers rallied back to take the next three sets and the match.

A few weeks ago, the Lopers came to Topeka with home court advantage in the MIAA tournament on the line. For the second time, Washburn came out strong, this time taking the first two sets. The

tough-minded Lopers got things together and were able to overcome 28 errors and a poor hitting percentage to defeat the Lady Blues.

The loss was a tough one to swallow for the Blues who would go on to lose to the University of Central Missouri in the semifinals of the MIAA tournament. It was the first loss for the Lady Blues by a team other than UNK. Despite losing two of their last three games Washburn looks prepared to make run when it matters most with the team they want to beat the most up first.

“It’s at a neutral site so it’s pretty much anybody’s game,” said Whittman. “I feel like we’ve become more prepared for this match then any other match.”

Washburn will have to travel to St. Paul, Minn., for the NCAA Central Region Tournament after powerhouse Concordia-St. Paul earned the No. 1 spot in the region. Washburn, who is playing in it’s ninth straight NCAA tournament, will square off for the third time against the

Lopers this season, but for the first time in NCAA tournament play. Asked if the travel would be a distraction for the Lady Blues, Whittman was blunt with how she felt.

“I honestly don’t,” said Whittman.

With only three losses on the season Washburn was still only able to muster up a sixth seed in what is arguably the hardest region in the country. But Concordia-St. Paul and the rest of the teams must wait as Washburn has unfinished business with Kearney.

“We just have to take it one game at a time and we’ll just worry about that next game,” said Whittman. “We have to put our focus on Kearney.”

Seniors Jessica Fey, Jessica Kopp and Hillary Hughes have been vital parts of Washburn’s team and would like go out on a good note.

“We know that we can we just have to show everyone else,” said Whittman.

Holiday giving: WU students give, get in return continued from page 1 For a decade, Giving Trees have been erected by Washburn’s Catholic Campus Center to fulfill Christmas wishes for needy Topeka children. Each tree ornament, tagged with a specific needs list item, is selected by a participating staffer, student or visitor, with a request for him or her to purchase the item.

Since its inception, the Giving Tree project has expanded from the CCC to multiple and prominent locations on campus, including the recreation center, International House and the Leadership Institute.

Anna Frantz, a senior English major who coordinates the Giving Tree efforts, spoke about the project.

“I think a lot of people like to get involved because it’s pretty simple,” said Frantz. “Giving doesn’t require much time, and you don’t have to wrap the presents. You go out and spend maybe five or 10 dollars to make a child happy.”

Frantz added that during the holiday season warm winter clothing is most in demand, such as coats, pajamas and shoes. She also stated that donors recognize the need for entertainment and recreation items for children.

“The children like the fun things as well, because every kid likes receiving more than just the basic essentials, and Christmas is the one time they can actually get something for fun,” said Frantz.

Barry Feaker, director of the Topeka Rescue Mission, appreciates how Washburn students give their time, money and effort to help his charity. He is also mindful that college students are busy, and that competing demands stretch their energy and time in many different directions, especially as the semester comes to a close.

“Around the holidays we have more volunteer needs than we do during other times of the year. A group of students may decide, ‘We don’t have time to volunteer during the semester. We’ll be home during the break, but we still want

to help the effort’,” said Feaker.

“There’s a needs list on our website, and students can always help by donating food, toys and other items from the list.”

Rick Ellis head of Learning In The Community, an office for community engagement and service. LINC matches aspiring volunteers and donors with opportunities for volunteering and donation. Ellis said a student wanting to know how to serve should consider LINC their best resource.

“If you’re looking for ways to help, come to our office in Benton 405,” said Ellis. “We provide connections. We have ongoing relationships with 100 different social service agencies in Topeka, and we help students by helping them find out what they want to do and by helping them tweak their choices.”

Ellis also said that non-holiday and year-round needs also can be coordinated through the LINC office. He mentioned academic tutor positions and programs to provide access to healthcare, such as the charitable Marian Clinic, which is partly staffed by Washburn students who are selected from a competitive pool of qualified students.

Another campus group, Washburn Student Government Association, participates in other group charity efforts and sponsors its own. WSGA participates in the Giving Tree project mentioned earlier in this article. For the project, WSGA’s busy office offers both foot traffic and visibility.

WSGA also leads a charity drive named Can Emporia, a friendly competition with its athletic and academic rival Emporia State University. This year WSGA raised over $17,000 in canned goods and donations, which will be divvied between the Topeka Rescue Mission and Let’s Help.

Eric Benedict, WSGA president and a senior majoring in political science, said he is glad to continue a tradition established five years ago by his predecessors.

“It was in response to a need in Topeka that was going unfulfilled. It’s especially meaningful

given that Washburn is unique as a municipal institution,” said Benedict. “The city gives a lot to us, so I think it’s nice to give back to the community which has helped the university become what it is.”

Other helping organizations include Washburn’s Greek societies. Fraternities and sororities embrace service as a pillar supporting a balanced college education.

Washburn’s fraternities and sororities all are major collectors for the Can Emporia campaign, and they all run philanthropy and service drives of their own.

Sorority Zeta Tau Alpha is noted for its year-round effort to raise money for breast cancer research. Think Pink Week and the pink ribbon is Zeta’s signature event and symbol.

Apart from its breast cancer efforts, they have been active during the holiday months of the year. In November, it participates in WSGA’s Can Emporia effort, and in December it contributes to CCC’s Giving Tree.

“I live a very fortunate life, and I have all the things I need.

It’s really important to me to give to others who may not have that,” said Alanna Seymore, ZTA president and a senior nursing major.

“So the sense of giving back is really what’s most important to me.”

Alex Haug, Delta Chi’s philanthropy chairman and a junior history major, wants to expand Delta Chi’s presence at homeless shelters and food banks. Haug tied his chapter’s desire to serve with the seasonal need and the longstagnant American economy.

“The demand is there because it’s the holiday season, and because the weather starts getting rough this time of year,” said Haug. “The economy is not very good right now, and people need all the help they can get.”

Haug’s concerns were reiterated by Ellis.

“Families get by as best as they can,” said Ellis. “Right now, most people in need are not out of work, but they’re underemployed.

They’re either working part-time jobs, or they’re working for less

The map, (to the right) shows places on campus where one can donate to the needy for the holiday season. than a living wage. There are a significant number of people who are ‘working poor’ in this town.”

Despite grim current economic prospects, Ellis’s work continues, as does Frantz’s work with the Giving Tree Project. Frantz believes American culture has an ethic of contribution during tough times.

“I know there’s kind of a stig-

ma about Americans, that we can be selfish and self-centered,” said Franz. “But at the same time, I feel that during the Christmas season Americans do want to give a lot, and I think it’s really neat to see it in action.”

Coming to a Court Near You: Last Friday, Washburn revealed the basketball and volleyball court in Lee Arena was to be named Schendel Court after Schendel Pest Services and Washburn came to an agreement over naming rights for the court. From now on, press releases or broadcasts from Washburn will call it Schendel Court in Lee Arena.

Washburn reveals newly named Schendel Court

Luke Warnken

WASHBURN REVIEW

Money speaks loudly, especially in the sports world which draws in a lot of revenue. Why? Because people love to go watch games and will drop plenty of bills to view history.

For m a n y companies this is a perfect chance to market their product to a large audience and for sports enterprises, even universities such as Washburn, to make a quick buck.

Last Friday Washburn took a step forward in the moneydriven world by selling the naming rights of their basketball and volleyball courts in Lee Arena to Schendel Pest Services, a Topeka-based company.

“Schendel Pest Control approached me possibly wanting to do advertising,” said Brent Hogan, Washburn’s marketing and special events coordinator. “We sent them our sales booklet. That was the first thing that drew their attention.”

The move is not an odd one in today’s sports world.

Many sports complexes around the country have changed their names after a company dropped a lot of money for naming rights.

The San Diego Padres now play in Petco Park while the Blue Jays of

Creighton University, Hogan’s alma mater, compete on First National Bank Court in the Qwest Center. It was just a matter of time before Washburn would find a sponsor to buy naming rights to the basketball and volleyball courts in the Petro Allied Health Center.

“Brent Boyles is a great supporter of Washburn University and wanted to give back and also wanted to have some marketing opportunities for himself and Schendel Pest and Lawn Service,” said Hogan.

What does the move mean for both Washburn and Schendel? From now on whenever Washburn broadcast basketball games or volleyball games it will no longer just be at Lee Arena.

The teams will now play on Schendel Court in Lee Arena, a phrase people should expect to hear for at least five years. The move was only fitting for Schendel Pest Services.

“We did it to show the Topeka community that we’re here and that we are going to stay here even

Pest Services. “We are fully invested in Topeka and especially Washburn. We have three or four alumni working here at Schendel.”

Lee Arena houses 4,150 p e o p l e and has gained more recognition as Wa s h b u r n ’s volleyball and basketball teams though continue to do well. The we got success of Washburn bought out Graphic by Linnzi Fusco, Washburn Review athletics only opens by a national comthe door for more publicity for pany,” said Amber Smith, marketing manager for Schendel Schendel Pest Services who

would like to see their name associated with the university.

“I think it will just benefit us by the alumni tying our name to Washburn and knowing that we’re full invested into Washburn,” said Smith.

The new court decals were placed just in time for Washburn’s Topeka Capitol Plaza Hotel Thanksgiving Classic where Washburn’s women’s basketball team won both of their games.

The next team to play on Schendel Court will be the men’s basketball team who host Bellevue University this Saturday.

Washburn continues to upgrade Lee Arena Luke Warnken

WASHBURN REVIEW

The last couple of years Washburn University has made strides in trying to upgrade and promote their sports facilities.

Recently Washburn built the McPherson Booster Room which oversees Lee Arena. The room houses a bar, tables and chairs, couches, and even has a flat screen television mounted on the wall which has cable television.

The McPherson Room allows for people to watch the game in a nice, comfortable atmosphere while also providing a great place for media conferences to be held.

Washburn also came to a five-year agreement with Schendel Pest Services over naming rights of the volleyball/basketball court in Lee Arena. The court is now to be called Schendel court after the company decided to become a sponsor for the university. The court naming is only one move the Washburn athletic and marketing departments have made thus far.

“There is a lot of different

The university has put out some money by mounting flat screen televisions all throughout Petro Allied Health Center.

Hogan, who has only been with Washburn since August, has already sought out to promote Washburn sports more to the community.

The TV’s that went up in Lee arena are advertising TV’s,” said Hogan. “Those TV”s went up sorely as advertising to showcase when our games are, what’s

institution Hogan believes the university can sell it’s sports teams just as a bigger school.

Getting more of the community interested in Washburn athletics, who have been doing very well, can be a great selling point for coaches.

“It gets our students more enthusiastic to play in front of the 4,000 people,” said Hogan.

“When you get a packed house and it’s booming, it makes it even more of a fun atmosphere.”

Hogan and the rest of the athletic department also have other creative ideas for gaining more sponsorship. Even the smallest intricacies of a game can be marketed.

“That dunk is brought to you by a certain company or that dig was brought to you by an excavating company,” said Hogan.

“We’re looking to expand on that.”

RoadRunners overcome sloppy play to steal two from the Tornado Richard Kelly

WASHBURN REVIEW

It looked to be a frustrating night for the Topeka RoadRunner son Sunday.

Early in the third period, the score was 1-0, and the RoadRunners were struggling to find offense.

Of all things, a penalty kill changed the momentum in favor of Topeka (17-5-3). Down a goal, at 6:57 of the third period, forward Drew Kariofiles took a slick pass from forward Kyle Sharkey and tapped the puck past goaltender Hunter Leisner to tie the game.

Sharkey then scored on a wrap-around at 12:46 to grab a 2-1 lead. For the remainer of the contest, they were able to hold the advantage, winning 2-1 at Landon Arena.

Moments after defenseman Trace Strahle was called for tripping, Scott Langer, RoadRunners head coach, said he told his team to make the best of the situation.

“We said it as soon as they

left the bench ‘it’s time to get something special going,’” said Langer. “Those guys [Kariofiles and Sharkey] were pretty determined on that penalty. It’s nice when it works out that way. We had needed a shorthanded goal.”

Langer said the mentality difference on the bench was immediate following the goal.

“Once they scored that goal, our guys went nuts,” said Langer.

“You could tell our entire game changed.”

Sharkey said he also felt the momentum shift.

“Any time you score a shorthanded goal, it’s huge,” said Sharkey. “It really lifts the guys up on the bench.”

At 15:57 of the first period, forward Nick Blase scored the lone goal allowed by goaltender Spencer Viele in the contest.

Viele stopped 27 of 28 shots on the night to improve to 12-2-2 on the season with a league best 1.61 goals against average.

In the second period, both teams had several good chances, but neither could find the back of

the net.

The third period, like all three games this weekend, brought the most excitement.

The RoadRunners scored all five of their weekend goals in the third period. While only scoring five, Topeka only gave up four goals on the weekend in three games against Texas (17-9-1.)

“We’re just not giving up a lot of goals, which is nice to see,” said Langer. “Now we just have to put both parts of the game together and I think we can really do some damage.”

The RoadRunners also won Saturday when Sharkey scored a similar goal to Sunday’s contest.

Topeka’s only major mistake of the weekend was a goal allowed with 11 seconds left in Friday’s contest, allowing Texas to grab a 2-1 victory.

“We were 11 seconds from a big weekend, and that’s unfortunate,” said Langer. “But we found a way to get back two [games] and move ahead of [Texas] in the standings, and that was the goal.”

Soaring Above the Competition: Forward Drew Kariofiles (12) tumbles over goaltender Hunter Leisner after scoring the tying goal in Sunday’s contest, as forward Kyle Sharkey (23) celebrates. Kariofiles goal sparked Topeka, who scored a second goal at 12:46 by Sharkey, to win 2-1 at Landon Arena.

Topeka now sits tied with the Amarillo Bulls for first place in the NAHL South Division.

Amarillo currently has three games in hand on Topeka. The RoadRunners return to Landon Arena this Friday and Saturday against the Wichita Falls Wild-

cats. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. both nights.

Senior artist exhibits story of tradition Kelly Hurla

WASHBURN REVIEW

From the rough texture of ceramics to the feel of a canvas or gingerbread, Mona Morrissey has always paid attention to the feel of things around her.

Morrissey’s senior art exhibition is titled “Mothers and Daughters: A repeating history.” The exhibit will remain on display at the Art Building through Dec. 14.

The exhibit in part chronicles what Morrissey has learned through the quest of completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in art education but also her experiences as a mother, among other parts of her past.

“I wrote this story a long time ago that I kind of dedicated to my daughter and it took on this fictional quality,” said Morrissey.

“I’d always wanted to illustrate it as a graphic novel or something like that, but I am not trained to be a graphic artist.”

For the past five years and on back, Morrissey focused some of her skills on making gingerbread

houses. Due to the market for that line of work only being prominent once a year, Morrissey had plans to pursue other options.

“I wrote it [the story] for my daughter, but I actually realized after I finished

Morrissey grew up valuing something simple enough as the feel and appearance of veins in someone’s hands.

“My mother and I, we actually used to sit in church and she would show me how she’d do tricks with her hands,” said Morrissey. “So when we’d sit in church, she’d really appreciate that I had veins she could mess with.

If she needed to draw blood, it’d be easy.”

The exhibit itself is compiled of various pieces of oil on canvas, digital prints, photography and a large installation piece for example.

“It seemed to have a lot of say about the subject Photo by Mike Goehring, Washburn Review as opposed to just writing it that it was actu- painting the picture,” said ally kind of an ode to my Jared Benson, junior art mother,” said Morrissey. major. “Each picture is a “Some of the same things story in itself, but as a sethat you say about your ries I’d say that it works. kids, you can actually say Some pieces were stronabout your parents too.” ger connecting-wise than Having a mother others, but as a total body working at Menninger’s as of work I’d say that it was a lab tech or phlebotomist, fairly strong.”

Beyond The Threshold Of Passing: Senior Artist exhibit “Mothers and Daughters: A repeating History” is displayed on both levels at the Art Building. (Above) An installation piece, titled “I Still love to pinch all the little fat parts,” demonstrates the longing for family, even after death. (Left and Below) Various oil on canvas paintings from the exhibit are also displayed. Morrissey enjoys telling a story through her art.

Morrisey struggled with the overall theme of the exhibit, wondering if it would connect to every member in it’s audience.

“I know that my theme only really addresses mothers and daughters, and I feel bad about that,” said Morrissey. “Any man that comes to the show may feel lost and I feel bad that I wasn’t able to really include the male point of view or perspective.”

Contrary to Morrissey’s prediction, at least one man didn’t appear

to be bothered from the mother/daughter theme.

“I’m a dad, so I can kind of relate,” said Benson. “I know it’s not the same thing, but being a parent still plays a role.”

When the exhibit commences, Morrissey will be more focused on her next semester of student teaching.

The gallery talk will be held today at noon in the art building. For those with or without an art background, the gallery reception for Morrissey’s

exhibit will be held Friday, Dec. 7 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. also in the Art Building. The reception will tie into December’s First Friday Art Walk.

The gallery is available for viewing Monday - Thursday, 7:30 a.m.

- 10:30 pm. The John R. Adams Gallery is located in the Washburn University Art Building at 1746 SW Durow Drive.

Boca Cafe brings new flavor to College Hill Tricia Peterson

WASHBURN REVIEW

Featuring local art and handcrafted light fixtures that catch the eye – such as the cheese grater lamps hanging above the food line – the Boca Café is quaint and inviting. The menu consists of artisanal sandwiches and salads, a soup of the day and three vegetarian options. Although it may seem simple the menu items each have a special twist and tons of flavor.

The first salad I tried was called the Drunken Salad with marinated tomatoes, sliced artichokes and brandy-soaked mozzarella tossed in mixed greens. The dressing is a simple balsamic vinaigrette that compliments the ingredients nicely. The sun-dried tomatoes seem to be made on-site as well as the croûtons that are made out of their focaccia bread.

I like their croûtons because they aren’t hard like pre-bought croûtons. They are crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside and soak up the dressing just enough so they aren’t soggy, and at the same time they aren’t so crispy they cut your mouth.

It’s called the Drunken Salad because the mozzarella is soaked in E&J brandy and when eating the salad the taste of brandy is there but is not overpowering.

For lunch, the salad came with a small cup of their soup of the day. This time it was tomato-basil.

The soup was thick and bright red, with a hint of basil. I was impressed with the soup and salad, so I decided to come back for more.

On my second visit, I

ordered the special of the day, a Monte Cristo sandwich.

This sandwich has sauerkraut on it, which I personally don’t like but kept on there, smoked turkey and provolone cheese.

I also chose to have it made on focaccia bread – if you don’t like focaccia bread, they have several kinds to choose from. The best part was the raspberry jam that was spread on the bread, but I also liked having it on the side for dipping. I ended up liking the combination with the sauerkraut so I am glad I forgot to ask for none – some things are just meant to be, and I really think the sauerkraut was one of those things.

It pairs nicely with the sweetness of the raspberry jam and the smokiness of the turkey. No flavor overpowered the other. They blended well together to make a perfectly balanced sandwich.

For sides, the café offers the soup of the day, rice chips, chickpea chips or a salad. There are many other choices on the menu than what are listed here, and next week they will start a whole new breakfast menu.

I highly recommend checking this place out.

Not only is it right next to campus, (across the street from Burger Stand, at SW 16th and Lane in the College Hill development) but it’s also affordable for college students. On Mondays, with your Washburn ID, they give you a free drink and 10 percent off your meal, although the prices aren’t that bad anyway.
