WU’s largest workout Jake Wingo

WASHBURN REVIEW

The YMCA of Topeka invited Shawnee County residents of all ages and abilities to come work out with them at Yager Stadium. The event, titled Shawnee County Largest Workout, drew hundreds of Topekans to the football field for a workout led by YMCA employees, volunteers and Washburn students and athletes.

“It’s just a big community workout, a chance for people to come together and learn about resources in the community, and have a fun atmosphere to workout with 500 of their closest friends,” said Misty Kruger, public information officer for the Shawnee County Health Agency.

While the rain may have kept attendance down from the 800 participants last year, the fourth version of this annual event still got quite a turnout. While most of the focus was on the workout in the middle of the field, organizations also had booths set up around the track trying to raise awareness for multiple causes.

WU professor addresses Gettysburg Colton Goeffort

WASHBURN REVIEW

Sept. 17 Washburn campus saw the Bradbury Thompson Alumni center playing host to approximately 60 guests, including current students and alumni alike. The occasion was Constitution Day, a holiday celebrating the signing of the United States Constitution into law 226 years ago on the same day in 1787.

The ceremonies included

a speech from Washburn professor, Bill Rich, who specializes in constitutional law. Rich’s speech, entitled “The Gettysburg Address: Lincoln’s Freamework for a New American Constitution” celebrated Constitution Day as well as the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg address.

“The Gettysburg address is significant because it sort of laid out President Lincoln’s vision for changes that needed to be made to the Constitution,” said

Rich. “I’ll be speaking about the events that led up to those changes and then I’ll be talking the aftermath and the extent to which the changes Lincoln might have envisioned that either took place or didn’t come about, both in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, as well as in more current times.”

Shawn Leisinger, the executive director of the Centers for Excellence, as well as one of the organizers of the night, estimated the number of people to attend this year’s Constitution

Day celebration.

“We’ll see about 20 to 25 total Washburn law alumni, as well as another 25 to 30 for a total of between 60 and 70 before the night ends,” said Leisinger.

Students looking to attend a Constitution Day celebration will be able to attend next year, as any college that receives federal funds is mandated to have a celebration in honor of Constitution Day and according to Leisinger, Washburn has been respecting that mandate since it

was implemented 10 to 20 years ago.

In addition to the speech itself food and drinks were also available, including alcoholic beverages, one of the few times it is allowed on campus.

CAB brings grocery bingo

Katty Vasquez

WASHBURN REVIEW

Mondays are reserved for Monday Night Football. Tuesdays bring Tacos. Wednesday is Hump day. Thursdays are Bingo night; and Washburn campus did just that. CAB hosted its Grocery Bingo event last Thursday evening, providing a fun, safe and entertaining environment aimed to help transition students to the college life.

The evening commenced with a light, easy feel. Great music played as the attendees arrived and were handed a bag of candy as markers for their cards. Students were there to have fun and let chance dance with them. Everything was one big Cheshire grin until the first prize bag of groceries was awarded.

From that point forward, the heat was turned up high.

Students were aware of their

peers, their peers’ cards, as well as their own. As the night progressed hands shot up in the air, voices spoke urgently and “Bingo!” was called out left and right.

“It was awesome to win.” said Peter Gallion, sophomore and luckiest contestant of the evening. “These are two awesome prize packages. I didn’t have any expectations for tonight. I just came for the fun of playing.”

Gallion won two rounds of blackout bingo, taking home quite a load of prizes. These prizes included a bag of groceries and a gift card with a mystery amount taped to a case of water.

“The turnout was good.

Satisfactory. People got their groceries and had some fun while doing it. I don’t think there will be another one this semester, but there’s a good chance it will happen again in the spring. Safe bet,” said Sam Sayler, co-director of Varieties

and Entertainment for CAB. If anyone missed out on this semester’s grocery bingo, be on the lookout for more CAB events for opportunities to get involved and possibly win free groceries.

CAB also hosted ElaineWilliams Live last night.

Williams is a comedic motivational speaker.

The event is one of many CAB plans for the semester. For

New Christian organization at Washburn Emily Juhnke

WASHBURN REVIEW

Washburn’s newest student run, non-denominational Christian organization, Remix will hold its first meeting on Sept. 18.

Kelsey Wagers, president of the organization, said that her trip to the Global Leadership Summit conference this summer was a big part of her decision to start the organization. Her idea for the name, Remix, came from the inner transformation that happens when becoming a Christian.

“The Holy Spirit comes within you and God changes your heart, so you’re the same person, in essence, but you’re different,” said Wagers.

The meetings will take place on Wednesdays at 12:05 p.m. in Henderson 008. They will be largely discussion-based and will also include a mixture of Bible studies, activities and messages.

“Each meeting will likely be a little bit different,” said Wagers.

John Menkveld, senior pastor at Oakland church of the Nazarene in Topeka, will also help lead the meetings.

Menkveld previously lived in Denver where he participated in college ministry and worked as a young adult pastor. He moved

to Topeka about two months ago and sees his position in this organization as being more of a mentor role.

“I want this thing to be really student-led and studentdriven," said Menkveld. "I want to see students develop as leaders on campus and leaders in ministry. That’s my hope, that’s my passion, that’s my love. Just seeing students develop into those leaders.”

Menkveld recognizes that college is a pivotal time in many students’ lives when numerous big life decisions have to be made in a small time frame.

“You’re trying to find yourself, you’re trying to find your spirituality, and you’re trying to figure out what you want your career to be. It’s just such an important time,” said Menkveld.

Both Wagers and Menkveld want students to know that everyone is welcome, regardless of their religious background and beliefs.

“I want people to know that this is a place where they’re not going to be judged,” said Menkveld. “Just come as you are. Let this be a place where you can meet people and explore your faith and spirituality and what that means to you.”

For those that are already

New Remix: Remix is a new non-denominational Christian organization on campus. Anyone is welcome to come to the first meeting on Sept. 18.

Christians, Wagers said this could be a great way to become closer to God and grow in faith with other Christians. One of her goals for the semester is to make and lead disciples, whether that is through people strengthening their relationship with God or through gaining new believers.

“I believe in being missional.

Whether than means going over to Africa or some impoverished country, or at Washburn, which is a mission-field right here,” said

Wagers.

Menkveld wants to interact and collaborate with the other numerous Christrian organizations on campus.

“We’re all on the same team. We have the same mission.

We want to reach students just as they do. We don’t see it as competition,” said Menkveld.

For more information on Remix, students can feel free to contact Wagers at kelsey. wagers@washburn.edu or check

out their page on Facebook.

“We really want to first of all connect other Christians, and secondly just be there for the campus and the students,” said Menkveld.

Delta Gammas 'Do Good' with annual Pancake Feed Megan Smith

WASHBURN REVIEW

Nearly 300 people visited the Delta Gamma sorority house Saturday night following the opening home football game against Fort Hays State University. For at least five consecutive years, Delta Gamma has hosted a pancake feed to raise money for their philanthropy.

The proceeds go to support the Kansas School for the Blind, other causes for people with visual impairment and funding toward sight saving research.

Two hundred fifty to three hundred tickets were sold for the philanthropy event. Fiftyfive of the fifty-nine members of Delta Gamma worked shifts throughout the night from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., cheerfully welcoming their guests, serving delicious pink and blue pancakes, crispy bacon and orange juice.

“There wasn’t enough bacon," said Slater Champlin, junior forensic chemistry major.

"However, I love how these events can bring the entire campus, families and alumni together for a great cause.”

Last Saturday’s pancake feed was the first event of Delta Gamma’s Service for Sight Week.

“What I enjoyed most was getting the opportunity to see new people," said Cassandra White, vice president of foundation.

"We saw many different people from all over campus and it was fun to see them interacting with each other. I thought it was really special to have them there for such a positive goal.”

They have numerous activities going on through the week. For example, Sept. 19th,

you can buy a whipped cream pie for 50 cents and pie a DG member from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the Union Lawn. Also, get your game face on for Anchor Slam. Compete in the three on three basketball tournament at the SRWC from 12:30-4 p.m. on Sept. 21.

Business class contrasts our roles as consumers

Robert A. Weigand

In our roles as consumers in a global marketplace we’re able to buy products and services from many companies — sometimes a dozen or more in just one trip to the grocery store. This column, a first for the Washburn Review, will consider companies from the perspective of investors who buy and sell their stock in the hope of earning large returns.

The first graph depicts the percentage change in the stock prices of three well-known global brands over the past three years: Apple, Netflix and Amazon.com. All 3 stocks have

Graphics submitted with the column

earned the type of large returns investors desire: Apple’s stock is up 64 percent over the period, Amazon is up 89 percent, and Netflix is up 97 percent. With average annual returns ranging between 18 percent-25 percent, all three of these stocks have outperformed the broader stock market. While these returns are sometimes earned in a steady manner (Amazon), investing in stocks can also feel like riding a rollercoaster (Apple and Netflix).

Apple’s stock has finally started rebounding from the selloff that began in September 2012.

Although some have blamed the

untimely death of their founder Steve Jobs, the stock market rarely displays such a delayed reaction to news (Mr. Jobs passed away in October 2011). A more likely explanation for Apple’s stock price decline is the rise of competition, in product lines such as smartphones (the Samsung Galaxy). Apple also faces steep competition in tablets, even from itself. Many consumers are now buying cheaper iPads instead of more expensive Mac laptops. This effect, known as “cannibalization,” can result in lower overall sales revenue for a company.

The graph also shows that Netflix’s stock has had its ups and downs. Do you remember when Netflix announced a significant price increase in the summer of 2011? Their subscribers began a Twitter campaign threatening widespread cancellations, and the market reacted sharply. But the cancellations never occurred.

As Netflix continued growing its subscriber base (millions every year) and adding innovating programming like House of Cards, their stock price regained its upward trajectory.

What about Amazon? The stock has earned competitive returns while avoiding the preciptious ups and downs that have plagued investors in Apple and Netflix.

Does this mean that Amazon’s business and profit model is on more solid ground than these other companies?

The second graph shows the 3-year trend in Amazon’s quarterly profits (red line, left axis) and total sales revenue (shaded bars, right axis). If the graph is puzzling at first glance, you’re

paying attention. That’s because Amazon has earned a dubious distinction: while its sales grow every quarter, the company’s profits continue falling (they’ve actually lost money in recent quarters). Needless to say, this is a trend that bears watching. The stock market is unlikely to have infinite patience for a company that earns less as it sells more, so Amazon’s stock price could be overdue for the type of volatility we’ve seen in Apple and Netflix in recent years. If you currently own Amazon stock, you might consider selling some or all of your holdings and locking in a handsome profit. If you aspire to own Amazon, more attractive entry points below its current price of $300 share may be around the corner, as the market “corrects” Amazon’s price until it’s more in line with its ability to generate profits.

Opinion

Question: How do you get a raise at a job?

Answer: Well, this depends upon the job. One thing that we don’t understand as employees is that everything in business has a paper trail. Now, this is important because you have things going for you (potentially). Let’s break this down.

Traditionally, raises come at the 30 day mark (if you’re in training and your company

washburnreview.org

has that stipulation: primarily for nurses and other high intensity training situations).

After that, six months is standard, or a year. The year mark is the most popular.

Then two years, five years and ten years if that is your company policy. The first step is to distinguish what your personal companies policies are and work within them. A lot of times, we’re too lazy to actually figure out how our companies work.

First step: do your research.

This brings me back to the conversation about paper trails. If you’ve been at your

Opinion BOD

ST ST

job a minimum of six months, businesses generally do what is called an evaluation. You may or may not have gotten one of these. Evaluations are used to track and document employees progress. If you have gotten one (and it was a good one), ask for a copy. If it was a bad one, ask for a copy anyway. The reason I say this, is because you can use your evals to your advantage. If you were under par, or right at par, find out what your employer wants you to focus on for development. Bosses love this.

Being progressive about how you approach your job will set you apart from other people who are complacent and just want to get a paycheck, rather than excel.

Always set yourself apart.

If the eval was good: go to your boss (after you’ve done your research), and talk to them

After the Miss America pageant, we want to know...

“How do you feel about Miss America being of Indian descent?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t watch the pageant but I feel good.”

“I didn’t watch it, but “II like bearded think its great.” ladies.”

Chante Michell, junior, business admin.

Wesley Jones, sophomore, education

“I think she’s hot.

What difference does it make?”

“I think its okay. I’m not from here, so its nice to see something different.”

Alsuwailem Muhannad, senior, finance

“I’d rather Miss Kansas won because she was a better example coz she was in the military but it doesn’t matter that she is of Indian descent.”

about what steps you need to take in order to get a raise. This is generally well received, and your boss will say what they say one way or the other.

If the eval was under par: ACTUALLY FIX WHATEVER IT IS THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT. Do not, at this point, even remotely think about asking for a raise. You look like a greedy jerk who doesn’t care about the company. (Now, you may not actually care about the company, but when it comes to working with HR, that does not bode well for you).

Unfortunately, there is always redtape to go through. My formal advice is to work within the descriptions of your job and the policies of your company.

This will generally tell you how to best go about getting a raise.

Good luck!

Editor volunteers at Kansas State School for the Blind

Kara Protasio

WASHBURN REVIEW

This last weekend I went to the Kansas State School for the Blind to volunteer with its track meet. Yes, I said track meet. The Kansas State School for the Blind competes in track meets across the country against other schools for the blind. This meet was a practice meet for the national conference meet coming up in a few weeks.

Three other schools came to practice competing, including Missouri School for the Blind, Illinois School for the Blind and Minnesota State Academy for the Blind. They compete in running, shot put and jumping events.

This was an amazing experience for me. Not only did I have fun volunteering, but also it made me happy to see that these students don’t let their disabilities stop them from participating in activities. I enjoyed cheering

them on and seeing them respond when I would cheer them on.

There are three different classifications of blindness used for the track meet. The completely blind kids were group in class C. These students had to run in straight lanes with ropes on both sides of them.

Each student holds on to one rope and runs until they feel a tiny ball with their hand that signals them to stop. I got to time different students throughout the day. I was surprised at how fast they were.

The other two classes were partially blind students broken up into two different categories.

These students could run around the regular track.

I also got to help with the shot put. Someone had to stand in front of them for away (so they wouldn’t get hit) and clap for them. The students would use the sound of the clap to know where to throw the shot put. A group of my friends would record how far the student threw.

There was one enthusiastic boy from the Kansas State School for the Blind who was completely blind. He needed someone to help escort him into the ring and he joked about “how he couldn’t see.”

He was such an awesome kid; I think I fell in love with his personality. It turns out

that he could throw over 10 feet.

That is a lot farther than I could ever throw.

The last thing I got to help out with was timing, counting laps and cheering on students as they ran a certain distance around the track.

I had to introduce myself to who I was timing before they began and they would recognize my voice

whenever I cheered for them or told them how many laps they had left to complete. I got to meet a lot of amazing people doing this and I am glad I had the opportunity.

This was the first time I ever worked with people who are blind or visually impaired.

I had a great time spending with these students.

Fifteen of my fratenity sisters who went with me to the track meet, also had a great time helping out all the students. They too helped time, measure distances and cheered on the paticipants.

Some even got to help out in the garden during a break.

This experience gave me an awesome feeling because I know I helped out and I got to see how people who are visually impaired could have the same experiences as those who can see.

I feel good about volunteering my time for a good cause. These kids are amazing and very talented.

I can’t wait to help them again next year.

I got this opportunity through my fratenity, Delta

Gamma.

Delta Gamma’s foundation is called Service for Sight and this week we are raising money for the Kansas State School for the Blind. If anyone wants to come pie me in the face on Thursday to help raise money for these awesome students, please come to the union lawn and pay .50 cents.

Yes, I will take a pie in the face to help raise money for Service for Sight. You can stop by and pie any of us from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. It is worth the money.

There is also a basketball tournament called, Anchor Slam, that is three on three.

If you would like to sign up a team for this tournament you can at our table in the union this whole week during lunch. All the procedes go to Service for sight.

I’m glad I got to experience the track meet, because I know that I am raising money for worthy people who deserve it.

Car Wash for Justice takes a ‘bite’ out of grime Tate Long

WASHBURN REVIEW

On Sunday, Sept. 15, the Washburn Criminal Justice Association put on a fundraising car wash.

The car wash was a way for the association to make some extra money for association expenses and a group trip they are taking later this year. The car wash turned out to be a strong money-raising event for the group. Several people from the Topeka area came out to support the group, which made for a productive

day.

Why were they so ready to help, and ready to put themselves to work? For one great reason, to help raise money for their group. They mainly need the money for a trip they will be taking to Philadelphia.

This trip allows them to bond as a group and learn about their profession at the same time. This trip is very beneficial to the Criminal Justice Association, and to Washburn.

It allows the association to grow in a positive direction, which in many

ways benefits Washburn.

Brittany Maes, President of the Criminal Justice Association was leading this fundraising event on Sunday. “The money we get here today will help us with our trip to Philadelphia, and our other association fees,” said Maes. “I really love doing this event. It is a lot of fun and we get to see and meet some new people.”

This hard working group showed good leadership on Sunday.

With the assistance of the commu-

nity, it turned out to be successful.

Tracy Ewert, secretary of the Criminal Justice Association, was also having a good time on Sunday.

“Washing the cars is so much fun, but us bonding as a group is a huge benefit,” said Ewert.

There was no doubt that this group was bonding. Knowing that they needed extra money, they all stepped up together to get things done. The leaders of the association took no time on Sunday to get people to the fundraiser and to get their

cars washed for them. They showed the community, and Washburn, that they can work together for a common goal.

The 2013-2014 Criminal Justice Association will be working hard all year for their trip, and to pay extra fees. It will be no surprise to see more positive events from this team-based group.

Little free library promotes national literacy Farai Harreld

WASHBURN REVIEW

If you have any books lying around and are looking for a good cause to donate them to, Women Empowerment Inc. is having their third annual book drive throughout the month of September.

This book drive will benefit the Young and little women book clubs and the little free library project.

The Young and little women book club is Women’s Empowerment inc. local after school program that puts books in the hands young girls who need them the most. Book club members are matched with mentors within a structured relationship and the book club has nearly 400 members.

The little free library project was introduced in the hopes of reintroducing the habit of

reading in Topeka communities and is sponsored by the Women Empowerment Inc. and Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Topeka. The little free libraries are located in neighborhoods all over town.

September is national literacy month and this is the first year that book drive is citywide.

The drive is sponsored by several Topeka businesses such as Hills Pet Nutrition, American Family Insurance, Kansas Avenue Market and Washburn.

What started off in 2010 as a book club between two friends, has grown into an organization dedicated to the empowerment of women of all ages through programs such as book clubs and leadership summits as well as providing scholarships and education surrounding health diets, teen pregnancy and HIV. Women’s Empowerment Inc. is 100 percent volunteer based and pride themselves in

looking for ways to empower the city of Topeka and the female youth.

“We chose a book drive because books are easily accessible and many households have books they don’t need or are looking to give away,” said Sheyvette Dinkens, Women Empowerment executive director.

American Family Insurance agent Mashayla Hibler is on the board of Women’s Empowerment Inc. and believes that the book drive is a simple way to be involved with the community.

“We all have books at our fingertips,” said Hibler.

If you are interested in donating some new and gently used

children and adult books you can visit Kansas Avenue Market the entire month of September. They are open every Saturday from 10 to 3 p.m., Wednesday through Friday from 10 to 5:30 p.m.

If you would like to volunteer for Women’s Empowerment Inc. Contact

Sheyvette Dinkins at (785) 383 7084.

WU’s largest workout Continued from page 1 “I’m here passing out healthy recipes for our Kids a Cookin website,” said Lisa Martin county extension agent for K-state Research and Extension. “We use these every day for educating families about healthy eating. I think the event inspires the community again,

that we can be an active healthy community.”

Topeka was recently ranked as the eighth fattest city in the country. While that statistic seems surprising, events like this aim to help the people of Topeka live a healthier life.

“We just thought it would

be neat to see all the people. We do go to the Y and work out and do things but it’s kind of fun as a group,” said Topekan Kim Mills.

“It’s cool that they’re getting everybody out here and try to help fight obesity and get people exercising and stretch out. “ The health fair opened 30

minutes before the workout started at 6:30 p.m. and stayed open 30 minutes after.

All age groups were well represented as hundreds of kids hula-hooped and tackled football dummies while most of the adults, young and old, worked out together.

If working out more is something to aim toward, this coming New Year’s, make sure to come check out this event next year.

Washburn students and anyone in Topeka who are looking for something different to do on a Saturday, should look into the event called Movie on the Lawn. This event is sponsored

by Topeka Shawnee County Public Library, Downtown Topeka, Inc. and 785 Magazine.

This is the fourth year that Movie on the Lawn this event has taken place. The sponsors are looking to grow the event every year and encourage people of all ages to come out and enjoy the festivities.

On Sept. 21, Movie on the Lawn will be showing “City Slickers”, which is a movie about a man and his friends on cattle drive vacation. The star of this movie is Billy Crystal. For the event, people are encouraged to dress up in costumes if they want. For the showing of “City Slickers,” they can dress up in cowboy outfits or old country western type of clothing.

“The Goonies,” which was supposed to be originally scheduled for Sept. 14, is changed to Oct. 5. People are

“The event on the fourteenth was changed due to the capital construction and they weren’t going to be done with putting in

the new sod in time,” said Lisa Coble-Krings communications editor at Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.

As for the pre-movie fun, there will be different activities,

but none have been confirmed yet for the event because they are still working on the details. The movies will be shown around sunset or when it is dark, which at this time of year is around 7

and “Various Methods of Escape.”

On Hesitation Marks, Lindsey Buckingham (Originally in Fleetwood Mac as well as a solo recording artist) was a guest guitarist for “Copy of A,” “In Two” and “While I’m Still Here.” “While I’m Still Here” also contains portions of “Weary Blues From Waiting” by Hank Williams Sr. A recent article from the Rolling Stone website revealed that Nine Inch Nails had an installment in Vero’s “Tour Exposed” documentary series, where NIN fans can get an

inside look of how it all came together. NIN has already hit a handful of festivals so far this year, including Loolapalooza and Outside Lands.

On engadget.com, writer Billy Steele wrote about how NIN puts Kinnect (from XBox 360) and various other gadgets to use on festival tour, that handles motion tracking with captured movements projected onto a handful of mobile screens.

Between 2008 and 2013, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor wrote two scores with bandmate Atticus Ross for “The Social Network,” as well as for

“Girl With A Dragon Tattoo.”

In the “The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo” soundtrack, Reznor sang a duet with Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Immigrant Song,” originally sang by Led Zeppelin.

He also did “Is Your Love Strong Enough?” as originally done by Coil.

In August 2010, Reznor started a side project with his wife Mariqueen Maandig Reznor (who does lead vocals), as well as Atticus Ross, Rob Sheridan and Alessandro Cortini. The band is called How To Destroy Angels. To see more about the band, go to their website at www.

Movie on the Lawn is featuring this event that would bring families back to the days of the drive-in theater. The only difference is that people won’t be sitting in their cars, but in lawn chairs or on blankets. The event is free to attend and there is a rule that is important to follow when attending the event.

“If you bring lawn chairs, expect to put them on the sidewalk and the only thing that will be allowed on the grass are blankets,” said Coble-Krings.

This is an event for anyone who just wants to enjoy a nice relaxing night, watching some fun movies on the capital lawn.

Just remember the first movie on the lawn will be on Sept. 14 and the second one will be on Oct. 5.

They expect 50 to 120 people to show up for the event.

“I’m really excited, I think it’s a great idea. I’m totally pirating up for “The Goonies” if I can find the time,” said Bryce Korf junior, theatre major.

Nine Inch Nails: Hesitation Marks Michelle Boltz

WASHBURN REVIEW

Hesitation Marks, the latest CD from Nine Inch Nails, was released in stores September 3.

Trent Reznor and company don’t fail to dazzle their fans with their trance-like techno that makes their music stand out alone in greatness. Hesitation Marks is considered to be their “out of retirement” release since their last tour in 2008 with their album “The Slip.”

Some of my personal favorites from Hesitation Marks include “Copy of A,” “Satellite”

‘Rode’ gallops into Washburn

Jamie Schartz

WASHBURN REVIEW

The 2013 iRead book, “Rode,” was written by one of Washburn’s own, Thomas Fox Averill.

According to the forward of the book, Averill was first inspired to write this story while at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield, Kan. There he heard Doc and Merle Watson sing “Tennessee Stud” for the first time.

The folksong, sung in first person, tells the story of a man who runs into trouble with his sweetheart’s father, and then runs away on his horse, “The Tennessee Stud.” Eventually he returns home, rescues his sweetheart, and they ride away into the sunset. Averill gave names to all the characters, filled in the gaps, and “Rode” was

born.

Rode specifically tells the story of Robert Johnson, his horse “The Stud,” and his sweetheart Jo Benson. While Robert and Jo are secretly courting, he puts her in a compromising position. Seeking revenge, Jo’s father and brothers plant evidence to make it look like Robert killed a man. Robert is forced to leave Tennessee, the law, in the shape of a bounty hunter named MacDonald, on his tail.

During his travels, Robert meets a variety of characters from Charles Onnen, who refuses to ferry Robert and The Stud across the The Hatchie, a river near Memphis, Tenn. to Hiram Gillian, who offers the pair rest and work, to Lucky who double crosses Robert in La Concha near the Rio Grande. At one point, after several months

of travel, The Stud is stolen from Robert by Comanche Indians.

Robert, wandering through the New Mexico/ Arizona desert completely naked without a penny to his name, is taken in by Fray Antonio at the San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo, a failing outpost in the Texas territory.

There he steals a horse and horse and runs southwest until he meets and is hired to race horses

by Carlito. Eventually, Robert saves some money from winning races and summons enough courage to return to Tennessee and claim Jo. During his journey home he meets all the characters again, in reverse order. Like Robert, most of them have been changed by hard times. Some, like Hiram Gillian, offer as much help as they did upon their first meeting, others, like Charles Onnen,

have had a change of heart when it comes to Robert and his horse. When he finally reaches Tennessee, Robert literally calls for Jo to come out of her house and the ride away together.

There is no dramatic fight scene, or duel with pistols at sunrise.

That is, there is no trouble until right after Jo and Robert have been married by Hiram Gillian.

Then her brothers came wildly riding after the newlyweds, pistols ablaze. In keeping with the song however, Jo and Robert escape, ride into the sunset, settle in the Arkansas territory and live happily ever after.

In this reader’s opinion, the storyline of the book is original, and interesting. There are some places where it’s a bit dry, for instance was it really necessary to describe how hungry Robert is every time he is running between

“homes?” On the other hand, there is enough imagery to make the reader feel as if they are suffering right next to Robert.

There is also the point that this book was partly selected because it was not an overlychallenging read. The story line is basic, the words are small and the character development is small enough that it is very easy to detect the changes. There are no deep psychological twists that cause confusion, or require much deep thinking at all. In short, the book, while worth the read, is about a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, so it offers little challenge to those looking for something to stretch their imagination or challenge their intellect.

WASHBURN REVIEW

Tony Silvestri, lecturer of history at Washburn University, co-published a book with Dutch artist Anne Horjus based on a lyric poem that Silvestri wrote in 2001. Horjus is a well-known illustrator originally from Holland, and currently lives in Wisconsin. The book, “Sleep,” is written to music composed

by Eric Whitacre. “Sleep” is a choral book associated with both music and illustration, and introduces children to music and lyric writing. It is useful in a wide variety of subjects.

“Sleep” is an alternate text by Silvestri based on a famous poem by Robert Frost, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” that Whitacre wanted to set to music to be sung by a choral group. After being denied permission from Frost’s estate, Whitacre asked Silvestri if he could write a lyrical poem that

Bods look to move forward after tough tournament Megan Dortch

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Ichabods traveled to Golden, Co. Friday and Saturday for the Colorado Mines Classic where they faced four opponents and came out with a .500 record.

The Bods dropped to 11th in the AVCA to end a 53 week stay in the top 10.

“We are learning a lot about ourselves right now to get prepared for conference,” siad Sami McHenry, senior defensive specialist. “[We] need to take a loss every now and then to see what [we] need to work on.”

Washburn first faced 22nd ranked Central Washington where the Bods won the first two

sets and dropped the last three to lose in five sets. Freshman hitter Leanna Willer led the game with 19 kills while fellow freshman hitter Sarah Vicory added 11 of her own. Senior setter Abby Wittman had 42 assists and senior libero Kelsey Lewis had 22 digs.

Three players added at least five blocks; Willer with seven, redshirt freshman hitter Hannah Frierdich had six, and Vicory had five. The team had 54 kills on the game with a .177 hitting percentage while Central Washington averaged .132.

The Ichabods dropped three of five sets to Grand Valley State on Friday. Junior hitter Marissa Cox led the team with 24 kills

while Willer added 16. Senior libero Courtney Churchman had 25 digs and Wittman had a double-double with 19 digs and 54 assists. Washburn hit .144 percent on the game while Grand Valley State hit .147. This is the first time since 2006 that the Bods have lost back to back regular season matches.

Washburn went five sets with Tarleton State on Saturday but came out on top. Cox had 20 of the teams’ 65 kills while senior hitter Corrinne Stringer added 13. Vicory had five digs and Churchman had 24 digs.

Wittman added another double-double with 57 assists and 21 digs. The team hit .161 percent against .169 from

Tartleton State.

In the Bods’ final game of the tournament, they swept Western Oregon in three straight sets. Stringer had a team high 15 kills while sophomore hitter Korie Thompson had 10 of her own to add to 47 team kills.

Wittman had 36 assists. Lewis had 12 digs while Wittman and Churchman both added 9.

The Ichabods finished the match with a .317 hit percentage as opposed to Western Oregon’s .078.

With 189 assists this weekend, Wittman moved to fourth on the all time career assists list at WU. Her total is now 2,714.

Washburn is now 6-2 on

the season with a two game win streak to protect. The Bods will be in action again on Sept. 17 at Emporia State at 7 p.m. for the first conference game of the season.

“We want to come back with a W. We all really want this win after this weekend,” said McHenry.

Washburn players stun guests with laser tag event Ivan Moya

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Washburn Players organization hosted a laser tag and barbeque event at the lawn of the Mount-Vermont apartments on September 12. The purpose of the event was for the players to be recognized as an active organization on campus.

The Players greeted guests with hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and other types of food. Bryce Korf, theater major and president of the Washburn Players, believed that the mix of food and entertainment would be enough to bring people to the event.

“It’s basically fun and food.

Who doesn’t like fun and food?” said Korf.

Korf believes that the events not only helped with their recruitment goals but with their fund raising goals as well.

Guests were given the opportunity to donate by entering drawings and for their participation of the laser tag games. Guests had the opportunity to win gift cards from places like Dillons and None Other.

Donations were not limited to the guests either. The event

also received support from the Topeka community. Fundraising chairwoman Lexi Lemons played a key role in communicating with local businesses.

“There was a really great response in asking for donations,” said Lemons.

The Country Harvest Apple Market donated buns for the event and the store None Other donated a $20 gift card. The biggest contribution to the event was the use of the laser tag guns that are owned by a different organization at Washburn.

The Washburn Players originates from the theater department, and one of their goals for the semester is to increase the amount of exposure for the department. Korf candidly jokes that the only academic field people outside of Washburn ever hear about is the Law School.

“They have a theater department?” said Korf.

If their membership and funding increases the Washburn Players plan to buy scripts and supplies to perform performance sketches around the campus.

“We don’t want to be the people that just do homecoming,” said Korf, “We want to be able to go around campus and do more

The Players hope to create more theater-oriented events for the fall semester, like play readings. The Washburn Players will meet again for their biweekly

meetings on Sept. 25 at 3:10 p.m. at the theater lobby. For more information about the Washburn Players contact wuplayers. president@gmail.com

Ichabods face tough start to season

Robert Zimmerman WASHBURN REVIEW

This past week the Ichabods had a daunting task ahead of them as they started a three game stretch. On Wednesday, the team played at Rockhurst University.

Losing the game 2-1.

“We have to capitalize on the opportunities we have and continue to stay positive,” said Whitney Skinner, sophomore forward.

Friday’s game versus Augustana University was a thrilling and exciting game. Each team had plenty of opportunities to score but at the end of regulation time the score was tied at zero.

In soccer a draw is declared after two 10 minutes over time periods. The teams played to a tie in the first overtime and nearly played to a draw, but in the final minute of double overtime Augustana netted a goal to beat the Ichabods 1-0.

Going into Sunday’s game,

this could be used as either motivation or as a heartbreaking loss that could ruin an entire season.

“The loss on Friday could have been seen as devastating but that’s soccer and we know we have a good team,” said Tim Collins, head coach.

The team used Friday’s loss as a way to overcome adversity versus Colorado Christian. The Ichabods broke the scoreless ties when Devon Schmitz, freshman midfielder, scored from 10 yards out.

The team was not done scoring though, by half time, Brianna Ament, senior midfielder scored on a free kick from Lara Doescher, senior midfielder. The team led 2-0 at half.

The second half started off fast as Kate Combs, freshman defender, netted an eight yard score with an assist from Schmitz in the first minute of the half. This was the team’s third goal in a span of eight minutes.

The offense wasn’t only on fire,

but so was the defense as Tori Fuglister, junior goalkeeper, got her fifth career shutout and the team got their second shutout on this season.

“Shutouts mean a lot since those opportunities do not come up that often,” said Fuglister.

Ending the week on a high note was exactly what the team needed as they look to start conference play this Friday at Emporia State. Going into the game, the Ichabods have a record of 2-3 compared to Emporia State who has 1-3.

“It’s nice having a positive result going into our first conference game, but we have to be on our game because they are always strong at home,” said Collins.

Ichabods football skin the Tigers in first home game Jake Wingo

WASHBURN REVIEW

One word to describe the Washburn football team’s performance so far this season would be “domination.” Before the season ever started, the team already knew who they wanted to be.

“We want to be physical, smart and relentless,” said junior wide receiver DaJuan Beard.

“As a team we want to finish games and be able to physically dominate our opponent in all phases of the game, especially in the fourth quarter.”

The Bods have done just that. In two games, they have outscored their opponents 112 to 30 and outgained them by a combined 320 yards. They seem to take their opponent by storm at the beginning of each half, as they have scored a total of 60 points in the first and third quarter, without allowing a single point.

This week’s 54-17 drubbing of the Fort Hays State Tigers

was just as, (if not more impressive) than last week’s 5813 win over Nebraska-Kearney.

With wins over two conference foes in two weeks they now have made their way into the top-25 teams in the country, at number 22.

Saturday night at Yager Stadium the Ichabods dominated their opponent in every phase of the game.

On the ground, the offensive line opened up huge holes for both running backs making their return to the team this year. Junior Vershon Moore and sophomore Sean McPherson carried a combined 25 times for 191 of the team’s 206 rushing yards. McPherson shouldered most of the load with 17 carries, 85 yards and a touchdown.

Moore, playing in his first game this season was a great change of pace on his eight carries. He averaged over 13 yards per carry for 106 yards and one 65-yard sprint for a score.

Through the air, junior quarterback Mitch Buhler was impressive yet again. He

threw for 272 yards on 19 of 27 passes. At halftime, with the score already at 31-7, Buhler had tied the school record for passing touchdowns in a half, with four. The whistle blew and ended the game with five scores and no interceptions. He now has eight touchdowns to just one turnover, and looks to be poised to lead this team after struggling last year.

Buhler hit ten different receivers Saturday night. Senior Matt Kobbeman did lead the team in receptions with five, but it seemed like junior DaJuan Beard was Buhler’s favorite target in the clutch. All four of Beard’s receptions came on third down, and all were highly contested by the defense. His touchdown reception was a back shoulder throw at the front pylon and another one-handed catch on the sideline, for a first down, really got the sold out crowd into the game.

“It’s a great feeling to know that me and the quarterback are on the same page,” said Beard.

“He has confidence in all his

receivers that we’re going to come down with the catch, and we feel like every ball is our ball. If it touches our hands, we have to have it.”

Sophomore wide out Jordan Hart had another big play this week as he hauled in a 49-yard over the shoulder touchdown.

The long throw and catch was Hart’s third score of over 45 yards in just two weeks. He leads the team in receiving yards with 219, receiving touchdowns with three and yards per catch at 31.3.

The defensive starters looked strong for the second week, only allowing seven points and forcing four interceptions. They allowed 90 rushing yards after giving up over 180 on the ground last week. Head coach Craig Schurig was critical of the run defense in their blowout win last week, but whatever the problem was, it seemed to be fixed.

After a quick Tiger touchdown in the second quarter that made the score 10-7, it looked like it might be a close

ballgame. However, a missed field goal on their next drive swung the momentum back in the Ichabods’ favor.

“It was a huge lift,” said senior linebacker Bryce Atagi.

“We knew they were going to execute since [their defensive coaches] used to coach here so we knew we had to do our jobs.

We did it and we came out on top.”

Next Saturday, Washburn travels to Northeastern State to take on the Riverhawks.

“It’s a tough place to play [Oklahoma]. They played us very hard up here,” said Schurig. “We’re anticipating a really tough game. We need to execute the way we did tonight, but really when we execute offensively and defensively we have a lot of talented kids that can get the job done.”
