WASHBURN REVIEW

The Dancing Blues recently claimed the title of American Dance/Drill Team Collegiate National Champions for Division II on March 23.

The competition took place in Denton at the University of North Texas. It was hosted by the American Dance/Drill Team organization and featured collegiate dance teams from across the region. Dance teams from 17 states competed in this year’s competition. To earn the national honor, the Dancing Blues were judged on content/choreography, show-

manship/presentation, execution/precision and technique.

“Honestly when we won I couldn’t tell you what happened,” said Maggie Isaacson, senior exercise physiology major. “We were screaming really loud and some of us seniors were crying because we’ve been through so much and have never really won anything. It was a moment we will cherish forever.”

Though the Dancing Blues have competed in several regional competitions, this was their first time competing in a national compecontinued on page 2 tition in the past 10 years.

The Blues hired Mandy Pruett, a former coach of the KU Rock Chalk Dancers, to choreograph a routine which they used to win a regional competition at Missouri State University last summer, 2012. They then spent nine months polishing the routine before taking it to nationals.

“I absolutely did not expect to win,” said Angie Price, coach.

“It’s really hard to know how the

judges are going to think. I was in shock but in my opinion they were the best performance.”

The Dancing Blues were first out of eight schools competing in that division. They were also recognized as having the second highest cumulative grade point average of all the Division II teams competing at the event.

Now that the competition is over, the Dancing Blues are pre-

paring for tryouts. Since this is the biggest senior class the Blues have ever had, they are looking for new members.

Anyone interested in trying out does not have to sign up but is expected to come and learn a routine to perform that same day.

The judges will be looking for technique, performance ability and execution.

“Dancing Blues is one of the best experiences I’ve had in college,” said Becky Addington, a

recent business graduate. “It was a rewarding experience and I’m glad I ended my dancing career with a National Championship.”

Tryouts will be this April 21 from noon to 6 p.m. in room 125 of the Washburn Dance Center.

Aperion lets students present research

Farai Harreld

WASHBURN REVIEW

Every spring, Washburn hosts Apeiron, an event that allows students either individually or in groups to showcase their research, scholarship, and creative activities in a setting similar to a professional meeting.

Students are welcome to share their scholarly work from any field of study in the form of poster exhibits, oral presentations or exhibitions/ performances.

This year, Apeiron is scheduled April 19 and will be host to students from a variety of studies such as nursing, social work, business, mathematics, sociology, theatre and English.

“The best way to think of it is a conference on campus that students can present above and beyond scholarly work, above and beyond what we would see in a regular classroom,” said Shaun Schmidt, associate proffessor and

Graphic courtesy of Apeiron committee

Apeiron chair. “We have folks from all areas across campus: graduate, undergraduate, all levels are welcome. It is a great way to ‘raise the scholarly atmosphere on campus.”

For her Apeiron presentation, Tara Wallace, a social work graduate student is presenting a body of work about her research on self care for professionals stu-

dents. She completed a survey with 91 students about the importance and their knowledge of self-care.

“For example, I as a fulltime student, full time employee with 15 hours of academics, 40 hours of work and at least 25 hours of internship in a week, it can get stressful,” said Wallace.

“As a lot of my peers and I have

discussed and one of the things that I always go back to is ‘What am I doing to deal with that?

What am i doing to exercise self care? My study proved that not many of students do.’ ” She hopes to team up with a community organization to further educate individuals and even businesses on the importance of self care in order for people to be able to function better at work.

“I am considering publishing the paper and Apeiron will provide a bigger platform and audience for me to share my work,” said Wallace. “It will be a good experience for me and will expose my work to a diverse group of individuals so that I can get some feedback and critique.”

Washburn’s Big Event starts with a small idea: Helping others.

But that small idea is a big deal.

This year the event takes place from 9:30-3:30 p.m., Saturday, April 13 It provides the students of Washburn University with the opportunity to say “Thank You” to the community of Topeka for their continued support throughout the years.

The Big Event started at Texas A&M University as a day of a day of community service, and has expanded to multiple colleges across the nation. Washburn S t u d e n t Government Association m e m b e r s brought the event to Washburn after they returned from attending a conference at Texas A&M a few years back and learning about the success of the program.

“I thought that it could really work on Washburn’s Campus and I thought that it would be a cool idea,” said Shelbie Konkel, chief of staff for the Washburn Student Government Association. “Last year sites like Lowes donated supplies, and we were able to volunteer at 19 community sites, places like the zoo, Topeka West and Helping Hands Human Society.”

Washburn has traditionally had a day of community service, most formerly known as Bods in the Street.

“We stopped doing it, but then there were some students that said no, this needs to be a part of our campus community, our campus culture and they brought the Big Event to Washburn,” said Jessica Barraclough, director of

Student Activities And Greek Life.

“Last year was the first year that we hosted Washburn’s Big Event and we had just under 200 participants. This year we already have over 300 people registered for the event, and we’re going out to more sites as well.” Said Neumann.

While last year’s event utilized the United Way webpage

Graphic courtesy of Micah Offermann, WSGA

for registration, this year was self managed and over 160 individuals were registered within the first 24 hours.

“We’re having a tremendous turnout this year,” said Konkel.

The morning of April 13, students and volunteers will arrive on campus, meeting at Whiting Field House, sign in and be fed as part of a kick off event, then be bused to various service spots around Topeka to begin their jobs. In addition to T-shirts for each volunteer, Frito Lay and Planet Sub are donating food for the second year in a row. Student organizations receive points for attending the event toward their community service credits.

“It could be going to Helping Hands Humane Society and helping with the animals; taking a dog for a walk, going into the play area for exercise, or brushing their fur,” said Neumann.

They have gone out to different school districts and painted the school’s playground.

Sometimes it’s just going to a park and picking up garbage or pulling weeds or planting flowerbeds.

Anything from putting packaged can goods together for pick up by the needy, or cleaning up parks.

A lot of different opportunities within Topeka.”

Anyone is welcome to join in, students or otherwise.

Interested parties are encouraged to participate despite registration for this year being closed.

“We have a waiting list since registration closed, [but] if people are still interested, sign up, we are getting more sites to work at. It’s gonna be an awesome day to just have some great fellowship with a diverse group of students,” said Chase Sachs, campus and community affairs director, and head guru in charge of this year’s The Big Event.

WASHBURN REVIEW

Most studients think that the Admissions Office is simply that office on the first floor of Morgan.

Letters from them when students are still deciding on where to go to college. They do much more than that and Kris The position handles recruiting, targeting of new demographics of students and partnering with different university departmental heads to seek out potential students for their various programs.

“It focuses the direction of recruitment, where we need to focus on as far as are we going to look at increasing direct from high school students. If so, how many are we bringing in from community colleges [and] really streamlining the recruitment process,” said Klima. “We look at particular areas [such as] Kansas City, Wichita, that kind of thing depending on what the university is looking for.”

A big part of her job is in-

creasing the number of students who attend Washburn, and sometimes that includes a certain demographic.

“Hypothetically, if an institution wants to increase their students in computer information science, what can we do with the faculty to target that population to then bring more CIS majors on the campus,” said Klima.

“Working with faculty and other administrators to identify where we want to grow and increase our student profile.”

This is what admissions does.

“Our office looks at ways to do that,” Klima said.

Her office takes a look at a variety of factors before pursuing a type of student for recruitment, with the end goal of improving the student and university dynamic.

“There are so many different populations that we work with, one isn’t necessarily better than the other, they’re just different,” said Klima. “I haven’t been in this position long enough to have solid goals, just focusing on the

fall.”

Klima has been with the university for seven years, and is herself a graduate of Washburn, with a bachelor’s degree in mass media. Most recently she was the associate director of admissions before taking over the reins as director of admissions.

“It’s a great opportunity. It’s nice to have already been acclimated to the environment and the campus and the procedures at the office, and looking at ways to improve those and carry forward,” said Klima. “I think our office wants to partner with a lot of the departments on campus to make sure we’re recruiting the students that are going to be successful and that is going to make Washburn make that next step.

The students are what make this institution.”

She took over the new post in January.

Mulvane names new instructor

WU Tech instructor wins award

Xuelu Pan

WASHBURN REVIEW

Mulvane Art Museum is going to welcome a new director, Connie Gibbons, on the first day of June.

Gibbons has been studying in Drury College in Springfield, MO since 1980. She got her bachelors of science in photography in 1984. Later in the same year, she continued her education at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. She majored in photography and art history and graduated in 1987 with a Master of Fine Arts. According to Delene Van Sickel, administrative office assistant in Mulvane Museum, Gibbons is currently working as the Executive Director of the Nicolaysen Art Museum and Discovery Center in Casper, WY. She will take over the duties of director from June 1.

Other than her expertise in art research and museum collections, Gibbons also possesses good social skills such as staff development, community outreach, fundraising and public speaking.

She has taken a variety of museum-related executive positions.

Her work experience stems from Lubbock Fine Arts Center, TX. Gibbons served as an assistant director from January of 1984 and was promoted to director in 1987.

She stayed in this position until 1994, when she took the job of director of the Cultural Arts Department.

In the following 16 years, Gibbons has served as director of River Music, executive director at B.B. King Museum, and executive director at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. Most of her duties involved direct planning of orientation documentaries and acting as a liaison to other museums and art organizations. In January 2011, Gibbons began working in Nicolaysen Art Museum, where she is still working.

Gibbons’ joining adds a huge asset to Washburn’s VPAA office.

“We are excited that Connie will be joining the Mulvane Art Museum,” said Nancy Tate, associate vice president of the VPAA

office. “She brings a wealth of experience from a wide variety of venues. We look forward to her visionary leadership as we strive to bring wonderful exhibitions to the museum which appeal to a wide variety of audiences.”

Tate has served a short term as interim vice president in 2010 and assumed her current duties in fall 2004.

Randy Pembrook, vice president of academic affairs, appreciated Gibbons’ communication skills as well as her rich experience in museum administration. He noted that Gibbons has been instrumental in developing partnerships and has enthusiasm for educational outreach to the community.

“Her work in curating, writing grants, and leading accreditation efforts will be invaluable to Mulvane and to Washburn University and we enthusiastically welcome her to Topeka,” said Pembrook.

Mulvane museum is holding the exhibitions including Small Deaths, hand-colored photographs by Kate Breakey and Rediscovered, paintings and prints

by William L. Haney, until June 9. On April 5, Mulvane museum will hold the Art Department Student Exhibit, an annual exhibit featuring works by Washburn University Art Department undergraduate students.

WASHBURN REVIEW

Eric Showalter, Auto Collision program instructor at Washburn Institute of Technology, has received the Lon Baudoux Instructor of the Year award for his work keeping vehicles running, and teaching Tech students how to do the same.

“I feel pretty honored,” said Showalter. “It’s nice to be appreciated.”

Showalter, a nine year veteran of Washburn Tech and 1976 graduate of Kaw Area Vocational School, is an Automotive Service Excellence Master Certified Technician, and an accomplished automotive manager through the Automotive Management Institute. The Kaw Area Vocational School would later become Washburn Tech.

Showalter is also certified with PPG Paint, OSHA 10, and holds I-CAR Platinum certification as a steel structural and nonstructural technician, estimator, and refinish technician. On top of

all that, Showalter is an accredited automotive manager through the Automotive Management Institute.

“Cars advance so much each year, if you don’t continue training on them each year you’ll find yourself way behind,” said Showalter.

The award comes from the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR). ICAR is an international, nonprofit organization which focuses on helping the automotive industry achieve higher levels of technical training.

Showalter is also a member of the Washburn Tech Recycled Rides committee, the Car Show/ Care Closet committee, volunteers with United Way and is an advisor for SkillsUSA. Washburn Tech’s Recycled Rides program is hosting a vehicle refurbishing session on April 12 through 14 on their campus.

Tech instructors and students will be working on two vehicles at the same time. One car has engine problems, and the other needs

body work repaired. The first one will be given to a recipientat 9:30 a.m., May 9 at the Capitol building. The second vehicle will be given out the following day, May 10, on campus, during their annual car show and barbecue.

“This is a great way to donate time to work and help students improve their skills,” said Showalter. “We’re having May 9th’s event at the legislature building to showcase what we do as tech students and instructors.”

Showalter’s been a “car guy” since he can remember, so the choice to return to his alma mater was natural.

“It’s kind of fun to go back and teach at the place you graduated from,” said Showalter.

The car show on and barbecue May 10, will be at the Washburn Tech campus, in the parking lot of Building K, on the northeast corner of campus.

QUESTION: My roommate snores so loudly I want to ask her to sleep at her boyfriend’s house. We sleep in different rooms but I can hear her anyway. Also, the other night she came home trashed and made a huge mess and knocked over stuff and hasn’t cleaned it up yet. What do I do with the roommate from hell?

ANSWER: Roommates are sticky situations. When you’re in college, you can get stuck with all

kinds of people. The most obvious advice I have for you is to actually TELL your roommate that things aren’t exactly “as you’d envisioned.” It could be just that she doesn’t realize her behavior.

A lot of times when people are first in college, they go a little crazy with the freedom. Not to mention the fact that she probably doesn’t know she snores (as most people are too polite to tell you). Not subtle way: hand her a box of “BREATHE RIGHT” strips. Close your door at night.

Bill disregards public health, safety Washburn Review

WASHBURN REVIEW

As of last week, we are all guinea pigs for Monsanto and all of the other agribusiness corporations that produce genetically engineered products.

This may come as a shocking proposition especially under the leadership of the most ‘socialist’ president this country has ever seen. Last week Congress passed a continuing resolution, a kind of stopgap piece of legislation to allow the government to continue functioning. Within that resolution snuggled neatly between section 734 and 736

was a corporately manufactured masterpiece that provided for Monsanto and its big business buddies protection from being sued if their genetically modified products prove in the future to be hazardous to human consumption.

When businesses make a bad bet, they go out of business.

When they make a good bet they cash in big. When they hurt innocent people by defrauding them, that’s when the courts drag them into the back room and doles out punishment. Last week Congress and the president told the courts that Monsanto could essentially

produce its product without fear of lawsuit.

If I were to sell some unsuspecting schmuck a taco laced with a substance that may or may not be deadly, I just didn’t take the time to find out, and stet schmuck dies, I get tossed in jail, probably put on trial for manslaughter and sued by the victim’s family for wrongful death.

As of last week, Monsanto can do the same thing and instead of the government stepping in to stop them from harming the consumer, Monsanto gets to continue making its product with the blessing of our government.

While there is no evidence that genetically engineered foods pose a danger to humans, the truth of the matter is we don’t understand the dangers products pose to us. We don’t know if these modified foods cause cancer, mental defects, physical defects or mental illness. This bill allows Monsanto to flood our markets with genetically modified foods and nobody knows what effects these foods will have on consumers in years to come.

I am not advocating for genetically modified foods to be banned. The simple fact of the

matter is that, as it stands, there is not enough evidence to understand the possible dangers of genetically modified foods. I do know that if a genetically modified food causes me to be more likely to have some rare form of cancer or make me more likely to develop some chronic illness I am more than happy to take time to investigate the dangers of these products.

Until we understand what these genetically modified foods can do to a human body, I’m going to be suspicious of any fruits and vegetables that come with a trademark.

Editor in chief questions Monsanto bill, criticizes government

Tricia Peterson

WASHBURN REVIEW

Last week President Barack Obama and Congress pissed me off.

While everyone was worrying about equal marriage rights he signed the Agricultural Appropriations Bill, which has been dubbed “The Monsanto Protection Act” – and that’s exactly what it will do, protect this corporation from taking responsibility for its actions.

According to many media outlets, members of Congress signed the bill without knowing what they were signing. Also, the bill wasn’t reviewed by the Agri-

cultural or Judiciary Committees at all and the part of the bill addressing these chemical companies was introduced anonymously as the larger bill made its way through. Congress is being accused of backroom dealings and I am not surprised.

This bothers me because this bill and the way it came into law was shady. The companies like Monsanto will now get away with feeding the public crops they haven’t tested and they won’t know what the side effects will be. The bill is only in effect for six months, but I am sure they will find some way to extend it or rewrite it and slip it past those who can stop it, just like they did this time.

What it provides is a way for companies to continue selling their genetically modified and genetically engineered seeds and products to farmers while they are still in court, approving the seeds for distribution. This will allow the company to dodge any legal responsibility if the seeds are found to cause cancer, health problems or any other significant health risk.

Critics of the bill, myself included, think that it’s just a way to let the companies get away with placing unapproved products on the market. I want to know what will happen if these products cause health issues and start affecting the public health.

The answer, unfortunately, is

nothing. They will get away with it and be able to legally sell the seeds and use them in the food market. This makes absolutely no sense to me, whatsoever. It’s a blatant disregard for public health and safety, I can’t believe our government let this happen.

This bill comes from a long line of bills before it, allowing Monsanto, the company that owns Round Up and Round Up Ready Seeds, to plant crops before they were approved and sell the food even after the food was invalidated in court. This already sounds ridiculous to me and I am eating this food. Round Up Ready Seeds are modified to resist the Round Up pesticide farmers spray on the crops. The

fact that they are putting chemicals into our food to resist other chemicals they are spraying on our food makes me uneasy already, and this bill doesn’t help.

There is a petition that has been signed by over 250,000 people asking Congress to veto the bill. If you are like me and want to know what you’re putting into your mouth is safe, I encourage you to sign the petition.

She’ll Take Your Feedback: Jeri Fowler appreciates the input guests give at her Writer’s StoryBoards live event. The event encouraged users to test the deck of cards Fowler created and give feedback.

WASHBURN REVIEW

Writing, cinematography, editing, sound, photography and a bit of advertising aren’t all the skills that Jeri Fowler loves to work with.

When she’s not busy with “school, school and more school,” as she’ll tell anybody, she’s working on promoting a product that’s been in the works for the last five to six years.

Writer’s StoryBoards are a deck of cards designed and developed by Fowler to help writers overcome writers block and assist with character development.

“They’re really interesting,”

said Matt Quick, junior mass media major. “I have a theater background and for me, I thought they could be used more as an improvisation tool for improvisational comedy or improvisational scenes for actors because you can pull a character and make up an entire story.”

Quick would recommend the cards for teachers in the acting department to use a warm up tool, for writers looking to develop a story or for anyone looking to generate ideas or content in general.

“They’re really fantastic cards,” said Quick. “I didn’t really understand how to use them at first but then she [Jeri] explained to me that there really are no rules for

these cards.”

The Writer’s StoryBoards weren’t originally created for a profit, or even for others. Fowler came up with the idea for the cards by accident, early on in her writing. Fowler enjoyed writing and creating stories, but also had a passion for movies. After buying a number of books on screen writing, Fowler fell in love with the writing, but often found some of her stories lacked conflict or sagged in the middle.

“I just wanted something where I could draw a card and randomly have some ideas to throw at my characters,” said Fowler. “I looked for a product that would do that. I didn’t need a new story,

I needed something that would fit into this story. I did them because I needed them.”

The StoryBoards originally started as a list that kept going and going. After evolving from that, Fowler came up with the current beta model. An anonymous professor assists Fowler by using the cards with two of his screen writing classes at a nearby university. The intro class utilized the cards more than the advanced, leading Fowler to believe that the more advanced a student is in screen writing, the less likely they may be to utilize the cards.

Fowler was originally an integrated studies student, only switching majors to mass media recently. Fowler’s new emphasis is film and video, although she enjoys just about every aspect of it.

“I was going to integrate film, advertising, web development and photography all together and it was hard to schedule all of those departments,” said Fowler.

After switching from being an integrated studies major, Fowler is happy with her switch to mass media.

“I enjoy every aspect of it.

I haven’t found my niche yet and I don’t know which one of those areas I really excel in,” said Fowler. “I don’t know where my future is, but I like the fact that I’m getting my feet wet in all of those different areas. At this point, I’d be happy doing any of it or all of it.”

Right now Fowler is spending a lot of energy on her Kick Starter campaign for the Writer’s StoryBoards.

The campaign launched Monday, April 1 and will last 30 days. The goal is to reach

$12,000.

At several monetary increments, ranging from $1 up to $1,000, those that pledge will receive a form of compensation.

A deck of updated cards, up to several decks, T-shirts and lastly even a story written with you as the hero, by Fowler. All levels receive a heart felt thanks from Fowler.

“I’m a terrible writer,” said Fowler, jokingly.

Fowler goes on to say that she enjoys the challenge of screen writing because every word has to do its purpose and how structured the art of overall screen writing is.

Although, Fowler speaks modestly about herself and her writing, it’s hard to argue that she’s not a hard worker. In the current semester, Fowler is taking a majority of courses in her major, including digital filmmaking II, digital cinematography as well as cinematic storytelling.

As far as future plans, Fowler has a second deck of Writer’s StoryBoards in the making. As the current deck mainly focuses on internal conflicts and plot development, the second deck will mainly focus on internal conflicts and character development.

As of 10 p.m. Tuesday evening, the campaign had 17 backers and $665 pledged.

Whatever use a writer, actor or entrepreneur may have with the cards, their use is apparent in a variety of ways.

“I pull all these cards out and the story pretty much writes itself,” said Quick.

NOTO offers spooky addition to FFAW

Colton Goeffert

WASHBURN REVIEW

Do you enjoy a night of shopping, drinking and dining? Or are you more of a fan of the spooky, the paranormal, and the unexplained? Either way, the North Topeka Arts District’s First Fridays have got you covered. The North Topeka, or NOTO, First Fridays are art walks that occur on the first Friday evening of each month, and feature food, drink, music, shopping, and of course, art.

The events usually draw anywhere between 500 and 1,000 people, but NOTO’s hoping to up those

numbers even more with their newest attraction, as up until now they’ve been void of any supernatural draw. That ends this Friday, though, as NOTO is adding a new feature to First Fridays, courtesy of Ghost Tours of Kansas. At every First Friday from now until October, Ghost Tours of Kansas will be your paranormal guide for $10, with tours that last an hour, starting at 5:30 and 6:30.

The tours offered aren’t just for the supernatural buffs, either, as skeptics and non-believers will appreciate that each tour will include a small sampling of the history of North Topeka

that relates to each of the ghost stories being told.

“I’ve had the North Topeka tour for eight years now, and as this particular area has cleaned up over the years it has a lot of great shops and a lot of great history,” said Cathy Ramirez, founder of Ghost Tours of Kansas, and native North Topekan. “The tour will be a walking tour that covers several blocks of North Kansas Avenue and Great Overland Station, and I’ll be sharing all the [ghost] stories and the history.”

The approximate walking distance of the tour is one mile, so comfortable shoes are encouraged. Fur-

JOE: Retaliation” with a smaller budget, a different director and several major cast changes.

And I couldn’t be happier.

While the new film trades in the goofy camp that made the first film what it was for a more realistic take, it works so much better. This isn’t high art or anything, we’re not going to be discussing Retaliation come Oscar time, but it was a good action flick.

And it stuck much closer to the spirit of G.I. JOE. If Rise Of Cobra reminded me of the cartoon, Retaliation very much reminds me of the hours my brother and I spent playing with the toys and action figures.

We frequently went off the reservation, not rehashing cartoon or comic plots, but inventing our own outlandish story arcs that would inevitably feature a new Cobra super-weapon in their bid for world domination. And then we’d

throw the Joes in the deep end and hope they could swim.

A n d that’s what director Jon M. Chu has done here. Chu, known for “Step Up 2” and 3 has been a fan since his childhood, and not only treats the source material with respect, but directs the action scenes like a choreographed dance. Nowhere is it more evident than the mountain top cliff scene featuring Snake Eyes (martial arts expert Ray Park— who will be in Kansas City at PLANET COMICON this weekend) and Jinx VS

thermore, the first set of tours will be hosted

by Ramirez herself. The recurring tours over the next few months’ First Fridays will be led by tour guides in her employ at Ghost Tours of Kansas.

GI. Joe explodes in box office Shaun Collins

WASHBURN REVIEW

“Yo Joe!” That signature battle cry was a familiar one at my house, as my brother and I spent literally thousands of hours absorbed in G.I. JOE. Reading the comics, watching the cartoon, and playing with the action figures. So when Stephen Summers announced the movie a few years back I was giddy with anticipation… and worry.

Lets face it: childhood nostalgia is powerful mojo.

Screw it up and you’re in big trouble. “G.I. JOE: The Rise Of Cobra” was… well, big dumb fun. I sat through it with a goofy grin plastered on my face as it unspooled, very reminded of the weekday cartoon. But it wasn’t a good movie. (Just like the cartoon wasn’t good, and you’re hearing that from a guy who owns all of it on DVD, but it was fun).

So now comes “G.I.

a pack of Ninjas. (I think the proper terminology is a clan, but pack works for me). It’s jaw droping-ly beautiful.

On a side note, Paramount delayed the release of this film over nine months to accommodate a 3D conversion (you know,

so they can squeeze a few more bucks out of everyone who sees it that way).

I went to the standard 2D presentation, and with the exception of the mountain cliff scenes, can’t imagine the 3D up conversion really did all that much for it.

My advice, save a few bucks and go 2D. The film gives a brief overview of the events of the first film, then leaves those waters behind. The Joes are sent on a mission to retrieve nuclear devices from a war torn country, then betrayed by the commander in chief (a dual role played by Jonathan Pryce) who is actually Cobra henchman Zartan in disguise.

While most of the outfit is wiped out and killed and then blamed for going rogue, a few Joes survive the massacre and vow to get to the bottom of things.

Leading the survivors is Roadblock, very well portrayed by Dwayne

“The Rock” Johnson.

For a wrestler, he’s becoming a competent action hero. Fans will enjoy seeing Lady Jay and Flint (although the former is used as so much eye candy, and the later has no personality or story arc) but it’s when the team turns to original General Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) that things start to look up for them.

So many little things work in this film, but most of all I’m pleased that the vehicles look like the ones I used to play with, the action scenes are well done, Cobra Commander looks like Cobra Commander, and the Joes feel so much more like MY Joes, Real American Heroes.

WASHBURN REVIEW

I recently had the opportunity to watch an interesting flick.

“American History X” came out in 1998 and was written by David McKenna (“Get Carter,” “S.W.A.T.”) and directed by Tony Kaye. It stars Edward Norton (“Fight Club,” “The Incredible Hulk”) as Derek Vinyard, a former neo-Nazi skinhead that learned the error of his ways while serving hard time. When he is released after three years in the big house, he emerges a changed man, no longer the hateful supremacist he once was.

Now that Derek is out he is upset to find out that his younger brother Danny Vinyard, played

by Edward Furlong, (“Terminator 2: Judgment Day”) has been following in his footsteps.

Now Derek must help his brother avoid making the same mistakes he did.

One interesting thing about this film is that it does not follow a strict chronological procession of events. It has numerous black and white flashbacks to both what Derek did to get sent to prison and what happened to him while he was there. A lot of these flashbacks are very unsettling, if not outright disturbing.

Throughout these flashbacks the viewer is subjected to scenes of hate crimes, rape and even murder. It’s all very powerful in its execution, though

at times it can feel a bit heavy-handed.

In the sections of the film that are set in “modern day” (1998) you’ll see Derek continuously attempt to teach Danny that racism isn’t the answer. It takes a fair amount of time to get through all the brainwashing Danny’s been subjected to, but Derek eventually gets through to him, though the film still has a tragic end.

The film tries to send the message that racism is bad, which is definitely a message worth sending. The problem is that if you trace everything back chronologically, the situation that started Derek down the path to becoming a racist was the killing of his father by some black men. Which inadvertently makes the events of the movie the fault of these black men.

While this does somewhat justify Derek’s racist outlook on life and makes him into a tragic character, it also blames the black community in a film trying to combat racism, which is a bit of a mixed message.

Another thing that adds to this mixed message is that throughout the movie, there are only two black characters that ar-

en’t presented as an instigator or a ghetto hooligan. One of these characters is Lamont, played

by Guy Torry, a young man in prison who shares laundry duty with Derek. The other character is Dr. Sweeney, the principal of Danny’s school, played by Avery Brooks (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”).

Overall, “American History X” is a good film that tries to send a good message, but gets lost in its own story. If you’re going to see the film, then do so because of the interesting and tragic story, not for the message it attempts to send to its audience.

Wichita State shocking the nation

AJ Dome

WASHBURN REVIEW

There’s something in the air. Springtime brings March Madness, and that madness brings about feelings of support and competitiveness. Right now, we’re rooting for the underdog.

Now, I must admit that I’m not the biggest follower of March Madness. I don’t slather myself in body paint or buy specialty t-shirts, but I’m considering it this year, because somebody else has made it to the Final Four.

It’s an impressive feat.

I’m even considering going down to Wichita this weekend, to watch Saturday’s game with old friends. Nine-seed Wich-

ita State is pitted against one-seed Louisville, which should be interesting to watch. The Shockers are on a roll, inspiring that Kansas pride I’m feeling all over. It’s a different kind of pride, one that hasn’t been felt since 1965.

It’s a nice change from the norm (read: KU).

My cousin Stan, a newspaper writer in Wichita, overheard a woman and her young daughter talking in a Kansas Sampler store.

The daughter pointed to a KU shirt and said “I want a KU shirt.” The mother ushered her away quickly and said “You don’t want a KU shirt. They lost.”

Ouch. At least they tried.

But the support for WSU has been tremen-

dous. Pizza Hut (a Wichita-based business) will give away free pizzas to all WSU students if they win the title. You can’t lose when there’s free pizza on t h e menu.

The New York Times’ statistician and blogger Nate Silver gives Louisville the win, with a 55 percent chance. Wichita St. comes in fourth with 4.7 percent, but that’s based on mathematical formulas, not by those undeterminable things like fate and luck and state-wide support.

So, go ahead and jump on the bandwagon. I am.

Go Shockers!

Paired with aggression,

Defense.

They’ve been a solid brick wall against teams like VCU, Iowa, and Creighton during regular season play.

They won those games.

Louisville’s defense is equally amazing, so the challenge will be trying to avoid the full-court press.

The Shocker’s offense is also doing well, destroying LaSalle and Gonzaga in previous games, and building themselves up for their game against Louisville.

The horrifying injury to Kevin Ware’s leg during Louisville’s last game will set them back, but also inspire them to play harder.

A team driven by injury versus a team driven by happy motivation. Should be fun to watch.

So, t h e Shockers have the support b e h i n d them, b u t what do they bring to the table?

come away with two wins, falling 7-2 to the Hornets.

Freshmen Gwen Shepler and Nzingha Banks were beaten 8-3 in No. 3 doubles to ESU’s Somer Schmidt and Tiffany Khounsombath. In an intense match, the dynamic duo of junior Sophie O’Neill and sophomore Casyn Buchman were unable to come away with a victory in No. 2 doubles.

Kayla Fraley and Alex Crowe of ESU managed tp fend off Buchman and O’Neill, winning 9-7.

Freshmen Jodie Blackim and Kirsten Holle got the Blues in the win column, winning 8-5 in No. 1 doubles. Washburn was unable to keep the momentenum going into singles play.

Schmidt defeated Washburn sophomore Ra-

chael Hageman 6-0, 6-4 in No. 6 singles play. Shepler couldn’t get past Crowe in No. 5 singles, losing 6-3, 6-1. Holle was almost able to get her second win on the day, narrowly losing 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 to ESU’s Jennifer Gerhardt.

The Lady Blues got their second win from Buchman, who is making her return back to action after spending the last few

months with the Washburn basketball team. Buchman spanked Khounsombath in No. 3 singles, 6-1, 6-2.

Blackim was less fortunate in No. 2 singles. The freshman from Oklahoma couldn’t carry over her success from doubles play, losing 6-2, 6-0 to Taylor Smith.

After much success the last couple of matches, O’Neill hit a rough patch.

She was defeated 6-0, 6-4 in No. 1 singles. Washburn (1-11, 1-4 MIAA) will host Midwestern State University 2 p.m. Friday at Washburn’s Tennis Complex.

Weather causes issues for Ichabod golfers Luke Warnken

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Ichabod golf team will have to wait at least another week to get back on the green.

The Bods traveled to Edmond, Okla. for the Central Oklahoma Classic, only to have it canceled because of mother nature.

“It was about 38 degrees, steady rain and a 20-25 mile per hour wind,” said Nathan Hoefflin, senior golfer for Washburn.

Meteorologists predicted sloppy weather, but that didn’t stop UCO from attempting to hold their event.

“We knew it was going to be wet and cold, but it was worse than what we expected,” said Hoefflin. “We ended up playing about five holes before they called us off the course. There was just too much standing water on the course for us to play so they just canceled the whole thing.”

The Central Oklahoma Classic was suppose to be a twoday, 54-hole event but lightning and rain forced the players to leave the course for safety. Both days of play were canceled because the weather was not expected to improve this week.

With the cancellation, Washburn has only participated in one event this spring, the SoCal Intercollegiate Championships in La Jolla, Cali. The Ichabods finished in the back half of the invite, placing 11 out of 16 teams.

Washburn will not get to participate again in an event until April 15 when they travel to Missouri for the Missouri Southern Invitational, the only event before the Bods take to the golf course for the MIAA Golf Championships. Hoefflin and the rest of the Ichabods will have to get back to the practice course, something they have been doing all spring.

“It’s really frustrating, especially for us seniors because

it’s our last semester of college season for the Bods. McHenry golf and we have hardly played,” has managed to place in the top 25 in every event he has participated said Hoefflin.

Hoefflin is one of three in. The Topeka native placed seniors on the t e a m 13 in the SoCal Intercollegiate Championships, the best along with place of any of the Bod Sam Schulte golfers.

seen a lot of time on the green for the Ichabods. Siegel got off to a hot start, finishing in the top 10 in his first four events. In the SoCal championships Siegel finished 25, the second best position for the Bods.

It doesn’t help that Washburn has had to travel for every event this season. The Ichabods are not hosting an event this season, which takes away any home course advantage. The Bods may be familiar with the course they practice everyday on, but will not be able to compete against other teams on it. Instead the Ichabods are forced to practice just like they have done for much of this spring.

“Practicing can be fun, but we all just want to get out there and compete as much as possible,” said Hoefflin. “That’s what we live for.”

‘Runners play host to rival Tornado in NAHL playoffs Richard Kelly

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Topeka RoadRunners could have taken the last Friday and Saturday off versus the Wichita Falls Wildcats.

Instead, they wrapped up the NAHL regular season on a positive note.

Topeka (39-14-7) played its last two games of the regular season already knowing they had clinched second place in the NAHL South Division.

But the RoadRunners kept on the gas, winning 2-1 Friday and 4-2 Saturday at Kay Yeager Coliseum.

In Friday’s contest, forward Peter Halash started the scoring for Topeka at 9:46 when he batted the puck out of the air past goaltender Evan Cowley. Later in the period, at 13:17, forward Tyler Andrew scored a powerplay goal to make it 2-0.

While the shots remained close Friday, Topeka’s goaltender Spencer Viele held strong until

Shots on goal for the con-

In Saturday’s game, Wichita Falls struck first at 11:11 of the second period when forward Kyle Bauman found the back of the net. Just over two minutes later, forward Ross Luedtke scored to tie the game at one. It was one of 19 shots the RoadRunners mustered in the second period.

In the final period, Topeka poured on the offense as forwards Kyle Sharkey, Sean Gaffney and Tyler Groat all scored, making it 4-1 Topeka. Wichita Falls scored a goal with 14 seconds left, but it was too little too late for the Wildcats.

As the season ends, Topeka now moves onto the first round of the NAHL South Division playoffs.

They will face the third seed Texas Tornado April 6 and 7 at Landon Arena.

Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. and 6:05 p.m. respectively.
