Race Against Breast Cancer raises money for breast cancer mammograms

Emily Juhnke

WASHBURN REVIEW

An estimated 2,000 people came out to participate in the Race Against Breast Cancer’s (RABC) 22nd 5K race Sept. 21. The event and the RABC organization raised money to provide free mammograms to citizens of Shawnee County and surrounding areas.

The race started and ended at the Washburn University Law School. It was scheduled to begin 9 a.m., but was delayed slightly due to a broken-down vehicle on the race course. The horn officially sounded at about 9:20 a.m.

“The Race Against Breast Cancer helps to aid in the detection of breast cancer at its earliest stages,” said Dawn Robertson, RABC administrator. “This is our major fundraiser. This is where we get the majority of our funds to pay for breast cancer mammograms over the course of the next year.”

Many runners and walkers gathered early for the on-site registration, dove release and other pre-race events that began at 7 a.m.

Technician urges campus to use correct WiFi Colton Goeffort

WASHBURN REVIEW

Students in this day in age use the internet quite a bit, from recreation to studies to getting in contact with a friend; it’s become a vital part of their lives. It’s for this reason that Erik Crouch, senior technician at ITS, wants to make sure students are connecting to the right network when they want to use their devices. “Some students are making a mistake when they see the available wireless networks.

We know it can be confusing, but we have three campuses we have to serve,” said Crouch.

Crouch went on to explain what each available connection is used for and which one students should be using when they need

to use the internet.

“When students connect their devices they should be connecting to the ‘Washburn’ network, though they’ll also be able to see the ‘WashburnGuest’ and ‘WUPrivate’ networks,” said Crouch.

The ‘Guest’ network is for visitors to the Washburn campus, people like parents, vendors and members of the general public.

“The problem with students connecting to the ‘WashburnGuest’ network is that it works by allowing a connection for 3 days but then you’re banned for 5 days to prevent people from the public just sitting around using our system,” said Crouch.

Crouch also explained that the ‘WUPrivate’ connection is for equipment that is owned

and operated by the University itself. A majority of the devices that connect to it are laptops and control equipment. The ‘WUPrivate’ network will not grant access to

unauthorized equipment and to save themselves some frustration they should not even bother trying to connect to it.

The process to connect a device to the Washburn network is relatively simple. To connect a device, a student just needs to open a web browser and try to connect to any website that

isn’t washburn.edu. They’ll be redirected to a registration page where they’ll need to input their MyWashburn username and password. After this is completed, students just need to simply reboot t h e i r device when prompted to do so. Alternatively, phone and table users can manually turn of their phone’s WiFi for a full two minutes, then turn it back on.

“The Washburn WiFi seems to work very well for the majority, but there are some places across campus where it’s pretty bad,” said Tai Bushbom, a Washburn

student using the correct WiFi connection.

Crouch explained that his major concern was that in few weeks of a large number of students were using the wrong network. “In the first few weeks we had about 500 students make that mistake,” said Crouch. In recent weeks the number has gone down, but not reached zero, though.

Writers workshop provides students with new tools Anzhelika Tolstikhina WASHBURN REVIEW

On Friday, Sept. 20 the Washburn Writers’ Workshop group had their third meeting in the Boswell Room of the Memorial Union. Students have been introducing their works of poetry and creative fiction to receive a critical response from other members and vice-versa.

“Anyone can come share and get advice,” said Kerry Wright, student leader of the event.

Such a “get together” is a chance to receive help from other advanced writers who are not

accustomed sugar-coating their opinions. During the workshop, they didn’t hesitate to tell the truth about what they thought needed to be improved.

“Those who choose such a path can’t be precious about their writing w h e n trying to get published,” said Cal Phoenix, another student leader.

These students sure show serious attitude about their work.

Most of them are dedicated to writing from an early age and are determined to reach the highest levels of performance as possible.

Unfortunately, the public tends to underestimate this field of work. At first sight, writing is driven entirely by a flow of inspiration.

To create a decent poem or fiction story requires no effort,

but only talent. However, there are many rules in respect of word placement such as taboos on conjunction disposal, ban of sentimentality and strong criticism for cliché.

Members of Writers’ Workshop group put their whole heart and soul into polishing their work. They have meetings every other Friday, during which they present an improved version of their work. Most of the time, it takes more than a year to create a decent poem or even a short story, but even then, no one can guarantee that the piece will be published.

The greatest deal about the Writers’ Workshop is that they work together towards the success and aren’t afraid of receiving criticism or of giving truthful advice.

As someone mentioned in the meeting, the effectiveness from those meetings is real, “like toilet paper real!”

New campus minister joins WU Jena Dean

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Washburn faculty gained a new member this year as Megan Otto, filled the position as campus minister. Otto, who began her career at Washburn just last month, leads Ichtus, the United Methodist Campus Ministry.

Otto, a native of Manhattan, Kan. and recent graduate of Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, comes to Washburn with high hopes of getting students involved and excited about college.

“Students are at a really great time to figure out what they want to do with their lives and who they really are,” said Otto. “I’m here to help them.”

Otto also wants to bring a few changes to Washburn student life and Ichtus, by incorporating art and colors to everyday life. Her goal is to add more personality and learning experiences into group activities.

“I’m very interested in how art plays a part in people’s lives,” said Otto. “That is something new that I have started experimenting with in Ichtus and with people that come to the house to hang out.”

WU to host activities for Family Day

Anzhelika Tolstikhina WASHBURN REVIEW

Before the fall completely takes over with cold weather, Family Day, held in honor of Ichabod’s birthday, will keep everybody’s hearts warm for a while.

It will be hard to keep up with the variety of events scheduled for the celebration, although everyone can make choices in accordance with their interests.

The beginning of the warm up plan will start with an early morning 5K run/walk on Sept.

28 at 8:30 a.m. with the motto “Rain or Shine” that will surely make the blood cells move faster.

Participation will cost $20 for walkers and $30 for runners, however children under 12 years old can join for free. For those, who will register the morning of the event will have to pay an additional $5 per competitor.

Throughout the time, popularity of this race has been gaining momentum not only because more and more people switch onto a healthy lifestyle, but also because all of the money that is raised will go towards the Alumni Association scholarship fund.

For the 2013-2014 academic year, 71 students have already received more than $30,000 in scholarships and now the Washburn Alumni Association

makes another effort in providing material support for students for the next school year.

Exclusively for celebration, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Ichabod Shop will be giving away gifts that WU students “have been waiting 150 years for” including sales on flash-drives, binders, clocks and other neat stuff and a special offer of a free window shade with a purchase of $75 or more.

Family Day is a chance for Washburn students to devote their time to have fun with their parents, cousins and friends, show them around campus and enjoy the cookout.

“I’m excited to see my family members and boyfriend,

reunite and walk around campus.

Such a joyful atmosphere of that celebration brings all the members together as we are a giant family of Ichabods,” said Kelsey Scheweer, communication major.

For such an occasion the university will host inflatable and carnival games at 11 a.m. and a picnic for the cost of $8.75 for adults, $5 for children 10 and under and free for WU faculty, staff and their immediate family with tickets from 11:30 a.m. at the Memorial Union lawn. Both events will end at 1:45 p.m.

Also, students will get a chance to wish Ichabod happy birthday, visit ArtLab at the Mulvane Art Museum, enjoy a cupcake and

get free lapel pin.

One of the best parts of the Family Day is the football tailgate, with the cost of $5 per person and free for children under 12 years old and dues-paid members.

Finally, everyone can enjoy watching the game, Ichabods vs.

University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos. The kickoff is at 2:37 p.m. at Yager Stadium with a pregame show beforehand. In case of any questions, the Information Table will be available starting at 10:30 a.m.

Race Against Breast Cancer continued... ... Continued from page 1 The Mulvane St. Francis Art and Wellness Class released the doves and also participated in the race as a team. It is a class of cancer survivors and that has been together for seven years.

“It’s a really great group of friends that have become family,” said Jane Hanni, team captain and assistant curator of education at the Mulvane Art Museum. “Art and love. That’s what it’s about. Art and love.”

Andrew Corbin, RABC’s 2013 honorary chair, addressed the crowd before the race began.

“It is truly a lifesaving event and we thank you so much for being a part of it, and we’re proud to be here,” he said.

Laurie Peterson participated in the race in honor of her mother who died of breast cancer. She was there as a member of the Mars Chocolate team.

They had the option either of signing up early online or onsite the night before and morning of the race. Robertson estimated that about 300 of the participants in this race registered on-site.

Team registration was $20 per

member. The early registration fee for individual participants was $25 per person. The fee increased to $30 per person after Sept. 12.

The RABC is a grassroots organization. They raise their

own money and do not accept any outside federal or state government funding.

“Unlike a lot of traditional charity-care programs, we do cover people that have insurance.

It’s just that they may be under-

insured,” said Robertson.

“Because we are self-funded we are able to pay for people who fall between the cracks. We don’t have to limit where those funds go.”

They are able to provide free mammograms to those in the community that qualify by contracting with hospitals in the area. Robertson said they provide about 600 free mammograms each year and that they have paid for over 65,000 total mammograms in their 22 years. Total, almost half a million dollars has been raised. All of the money raised stays in northeast Kansas. Their goal for this event was to raise around $72,000.

More information about the 5K Event, the organization, and donation opportunities can be found on their website at www. rabctopeka.org.

“We really appreciate the support of our local community,” said Robertson. “Without the support of area businesses and individuals, we could not help the community like we do.”

TWLOHA hosts Hope-n-Mic Night Kara Protasio

WASHBURN REVIEW

To Write Love on Her Arms is hosting Hope-n-Mic Night on the evening of Oct. 11. Students are invited to Billy Vanilly from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to share their talents and participate in the open mic night.

“We believe that every person is unique and talented in their own way and sharing those parts of us opens up a bigger platform to share our story in a meaningful way,” said Molly Walter, president of TWLOHA Washburn chapter.

If students are interested in performing spoken word, comedic acts, songs, dances, magic or anything familyappropriate, they should e-mail their act by 5 p.m. Oct. 4. This gives the organization time to review the material and make

sure it is appropriate in terms of the mission and vision.

“We wanted to partner with a local business and our secretary suggested Billy Vanilly, because who doesn’t love cupcakes?” said Walter.

Not only is the open mic night intended for entertainment and giving participants a chance to share their story, but also the music is a huge part of the original story and mission of TWLOHA. The founder of TWLOHA said once that “music makes us feel alive and reminds us it’s okay to ask questions and scream or cry.”

TWLOHA is hosting this event to raise awareness about the organization and also to remind people that their story is important.

“What they have been through is important and that it is

okay to be honest about what we are going through,” said Walter.

“The funds we raise from this event will go to help us further our efforts on campus.”

TWLOHA is a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and invest directly into treatment and

recovery. The organization wants to reach out more to campus and the community.

“We want to be the voice of hope on campus and encourage students to be open about mental health topics,” said Walter.

“There is a lie that suggests we’re supposed to have everything figured out and not struggle with college or life. However, this is not true and that’s okay. College is hard, life is stressful. But we’re

all human and it’s okay to ask for help when you need it.”

Anyone interested in participating or wanting more information can contact the organization at twloha.wu@ gmail.com.

Comedic speaker helps uplift Washburn students Robert Zimmerman WASHBURN REVIEW

Last week, Sept. 17, students had the opportunity to hear from motivational speaker, Elaine Williams, in the Washburn A & B room of the Memorial Union.

There are several organizations responsible for sponsoring and organizing events. Williams was brought here by the Campus Activities Board. CAB had to set up the event well in advance.

“They first contacted my agent and I said that I would love to come and speak,” said Williams.

Throughout the year, CAB hosts events and games on campus. Sierra Valdivia, junior was the one in charge of contacting Williams’ agent.

“The group last year went to a conference and chose Elaine out of a bunch of different comedians,” said Valdivia.

Like many speakers, Williams wanted to try and change the way students viewed things. She focused on drugs,

sex, alcohol and sexual assault.

Many speakers use personal stories as a way to connect to their audience. Williams was no different and knew that these topics were serious. However, she also used comedy to keep the audience engaged.

The statement, “think it through,” was seen by many as being the theme of the speech.

It was repeated multiple times throughout the evening. Williams provided tips on how to reduce stress and improve focus. She also gave advice about staying safe when attending parties.

“I hope they remember my rules, like always go out in groups and never leave your drink unattended. Even if it is just water,” said Williams.

The majority of the people in the audience were freshmen and peer educators in the WU 101 class. This is because the event qualified as one of many “passport activities” for their class. Students have to attend a certain number of events on campus, take a picture and put them all together in a portfolio at

the end of the year.

“The WU 101 class has helped to get more people especially in getting more freshmen involved,” said Valdivia.

As of now, Williams just does live performances but has an idea on how to reach even more people by using technology

to her advantage.

“I have some opportunities to be able to pitch my pilot for a web series which I am very interested in doing,” said Williams.

To find out more about Williams and her helpful tips, visit her website www. elainewilliamslive.com or her

Question: How do I get my roommate to do what I want?

Answer: Well, that’s a pretty sparse question. If you want your roommate to do goat sacrifices with you, that might take a lot more than say, go to the mall and get some shoes you think are “OH SO CUTE” and she thinks are hideous. Smell what I’m cookin’?

Here’s a better question.

When you want people to do what you want, do you: A) Ask them directly?

washburnreview.org

(Communication is key.)

B) Ask them subtly? (You don’t want to be pushy.)

C) Hint around for days until he/she does what you want/ doesn’t do what you want? (In this case, generally there is a big blow up, lots of hurt feelings and everyone leaves upset.)

D) Say what there is to say and let them be big people and choose whatever they choose?

I get it. Here’s the thing: it is up to you to be an adult and tell your roommate what you want, and then it is also up to you to have the maturity to deal with whatever she decides.

The best question is: is this workable? DOES THIS WORK FOR ME? Hey, some people really like having trashed roommates, they get to feel emotionally superior while also coming home wasted from time to time. Some people are messy, and that works for them. I don’t

If your roommate still is a big issue for you, get reassigned next semester if you’re on campus.

If you’re off campus, you’re in even better shape.

You are not allowed to get upset because your friends don’t do what you wanted to manipulate them into doing. We do things that upset people all the time, and our response is “I do what I want.” That’s human.

We all do it. So quit being high and mighty and just admit you’re human with the same flaws. Let people be. If it doesn’t work for you, get out. Make other choices.

Abercrombie & Glitch, editor disagrees with store objectives

Kara Protasio

WASHBURN REVIEW

Abercrombie & Fitch, or A & F, is a clothing company designed for teenagers and young adults. It was established in 1892 in the United States and has expanded its business all over the world. Abercrombie & Fitch discriminates against potential customers and its employees, who do not have the “A & F look”, which are skinny, beautiful people. This company discriminates appearances by race, size and disabilities.

A & F has many discrimination cases in its history as a company. In many circumstances, Abercrombie has hired people who are non-white to work solely in the stock room.

According to The New York Times, the clothing company would also hire attractive

white fraternity and sorority college students to work as models or sales representatives.

Abercrombie & Fitch settled a sex and race discrimination case in 2004 by changing “allAmerican - and largely white image by adding more blacks, Hispanics and Asians to its marketing materials.”

However, this did not end the discrimination of nonwhite employees. The most recent example is a lawsuit filed against A & F for firing a Muslim employee because she would not take off her headscarf while working. The judge ruled last Monday that the company “violated federal antiemployment discrimination guidelines” when Umme-Hani Khan was fired by a human resources manager. Khan’s headscarf was not considered the “A & F look”, and even though she worked in the stock room, it didn’t make any difference.

The A & F company has also discriminated against customers who are overweight. Women who wear anything bigger than a large or size 10 pants cannot shop at Abercrombie & Fitch. Women who are plus size are discriminated against because they don’t fit the skinny

description of the “A & F look” (Lutz, Abercrombie & Fitch Refuses To Make Clothes For Large Women 1). The company does not sell anything for men over double extra-large. This is to accommodate the athletic guys.

“It’s almost

everything,” said Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch (Denizet-Lewis 1). “That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores, because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, goodlooking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that.”

A & F is still focusing on skinny people even though plus size people make up a majority of the apparel purchasing population.

The clothing company also discriminates against employees and customers that have disabilities. Abercrombie & Fitch discriminated against a U.K. employee who had a prosthetic arm by making her work in the stock room (Lutz, 13 Reasons Why People Hate Abercrombie & Fitch 1).

In 2009, Riam Dean filed targeting 248 Hollister stores and won a lawsuit against the across the U.S. that features clothing company for forcing her imitation porch steps as a main to work in the stock room because entrance.” A judge agreed she did not fit the “all-American with the plaintiffs that A & F’s image.” She was not allowed Hollister did not comply with on the selling floor because her the American with Disabilities prosthetic arm Act.

Art, food and fun at Aaron Douglas Art Park Colton Goeffert

WASHBURN REVIEW

Aaron Douglas Art Park saw a large influx of people on Sept.

21, far more than it usually gets on an average day. The reason for this influx was the festivities that were a part of the eighth annual Aaron Douglas Art Fair. The fair had approximately 40 art vendors and around 10 tents where food was available for purchase from community organizations, as well as live music and activities for children and adults alike, including a community painting where people could add their own touches to an illustration of the fair.

The fair, which was held in

honor of Aaron Douglas, a famous artist and Topeka citizen, plays host to many talented artists who work in a variety of mediums, including jewelry, sculpting, pencil sketches, marker-based illustrations, mixed media pieces, oil paintings, acrylic paintings, glasswork and photography. A few booths also featured many pieces using different art forms created by a group, or even the same person.

The art fair also had a specific artist that was featured more prominently than the others, the show’s featured artist. This year’s featured artist was Michael Mize, a contemporary Christian artist.

As featured artist, Mize’s work appeared on promotional materials

including event staff t-shirts, posters and brochures about the fair.

The specific piece that was featured on these materials was based on a passage from the Bible.

“All of my artwork is based on my belief in the Bible and my faith in Jesus Christ, and this piece is no different. It’s actually based on Ephesians, chapter four, verses four through six,” Mize said.

Mize also seemed to be enjoying himself at the fair itself.

“It’s terrific! We’ve got great weather, beautiful music, and I can’t complain about the location, it brings a lot of good traffic. It’s just been fantastic,” Mize said.

Mize’s featured piece was raffled off at the end of the day,

and the proceeds would go to Trash Mountain Project, a Topeka based international non-profit organization that helps families in garbage dump communities.

Former Washburn student, Eleanor Heimbaugh also attended the fair this year and opened her own booth featuring a multitude of hand-thrown, hand-painted clay mugs and cups that are microwave and dishwasher safe. Heimbaugh graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in spring of 2013. A four-year member of the Washburn Art Student Association (WASA), this year Heimbaugh was no longer eligible to participate in their booth.

“It’s a great event, I’ll definitely be back next year,” said

Heimbaugh.

Asha Slack, a senior bachelor of fine arts student and member of WASA, was also in attendance at the event, working the WASA booth. Art on display from students included oil paintings and photography and featured students like Slack herself and another student at the event, Julian Jenkins.

“I’m enjoying the fair very much, and will more than likely definitely be here next year,” said Slack.

NOTO hosts arts auction for KTWU Kelly Andrews

WASHBURN REVIEW

The First Friday Art Walk in NOTO has become a regular event in the Topeka community and more specifically in the now well-known NOTO section of North Topeka.

“An Art Walk has been going on in the Topeka area with several area businesses for 25 years,” said Sarah Fizell, executive director of ARTSConnect.

Fizell continued to say that the event is now managed by ARTSConnect and has been in its current format for 6 years.

The upcoming First Friday Art Walk, slated for Oct. 4, promises to be just as engaging as the previous events but will have an added attraction; NOTO has invited KTWU to have an art auction there.

As stated on their website, the mission of the station is “KTWU provides programs and services that enrich the lives of

Art For The Highest Bidder: Tickets can be bought online at: www.ktwu. org/art-auction/. The auction will feature local artists and their works. those we reach.”

With that in mind, this auction has been planned not only to financially support the station but also to enrich the lives of the community.

“KTWU is the largest and oldest station in the state of Kansas,” said Laurie Buhlerauction director for KTWU. “The arts auction came about because we felt that the artists don’t get enough exposure and that their

products [and] creativity isn’t valued if you can’t see it, or experience it.”

KTWU will also have a “Lights, Camera, Auction,” held Nov. 8 to Nov. 10. This is the main fundraising auction for KTWU. “We pulled some of the art and arts items from the November auction and created this arts auction, hoping to get more exposure for the artists and

more money out of the pieces,” said Buhler.

Buhler continued on to say that people should come out to the Arts Auction because most of the artists will be present and you can meet the artists, see their works and that they have invested in KTWU and what they stand for in the community.

Additionally, this event provides a way for participants to reinvest in local businesses because supplies has been purchased from local food and beverage vendors. Additionally, at the Arts Auction there will be a live auctioneer conducting the auction itself.

For this Arts Auction, there are about 40 to 50 items of object d’art for sale.

For example, there are oil paintings, photographs of the Flint Hills and glass pieces. In addition to these, there are several vouchers or gift certificates for area businesses or services.

There is also an antique poster

from the original PBS series “Sherlock Holmes,” a package as donated by a founding member of the band Kansas; as well as some Machudo Cajons box drums, made for this event and much more.

The viewing of the items for sale will be from 5 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. and the auction will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets for the auction cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The auction will be held in the NOTO community center located at 925 N. Kansas Ave. Tickets can be bought online at the web address listed below.

The arts auction will support local artists and businesses.

The proceeds from the auction will benefit the educational programming that KTWU provides for the community on both television and online at KTWU.org.

Faculty member lectures on gender issues in the Czech Republic

Kevin Sullivan

WASHBURN REVIEW

Karen Kapusta-Pofahl, lecturer of sociology and anthropology, presented a lecture on the topic of “Between Civil Society and the State: The Liminal Position of Academic Gender Experts in the Czech Republic,” at 12 p.m. Sept. 19.

This presentation was part of the Brown Bag Story series that is going on this semester on

campus.

Her work dealt with the study of gender issues within the academic sector in the Czech Republic.

She participated in ethnographic research in the Czech Republic for 18 months.

Her program of research began in 2004 and ended in early 2006.

In the Czech Republic, there is a splitting of teaching and research. Most of the research is done at two research units. The

research institution was founded in 1990. Institutions like this are where Kapusta-Pofahl would have done most of her research at. She talked quite a bit about what all is currently going on in the field of gender issues and women’s studies.

In late 2004, a “Girls from Gender” article was published in the Reflux magazine in the Czech Republic. The title of it was Czech Women Preparing Gender Revolution. Another

gender issue that has developed is employers are currently not allowed to ask female applicants how many children they have or whether or not they are pregnant.

Researchers emphasize that gender issues activists, such as those in the feminist movement, need to engage in work with people other than just their colleagues. Teaching is an example of an activist activity because you can communicate feminist ideas to your audience

of students. This shows that protesting in the streets is not the only way to express activism.

There are other, more peaceful ways to express your opinions to the general public.

The lecture concluded with a general question and answer session. The presentation itself lasted about 30 minutes.

Washburn celebrates ‘best law teacher’ Rory Bahadur

Jennifer Lauber

WASHBURN REVIEW

Washburn University School of Law hosted a recognition ceremony and reception Sept.

19 at the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center to celebrate Professor Rory Bahadur’s selection as one of the top 26 best law teachers in the United States.

Bahadur is one of the elite law professors, and the only from Kansas, featured in “What the Best Law Teachers Do” (Harvard University Press, 2013). Recognition remarks were given by dean Thomas J. Romig and associate dean Aïda M. Alaka.

“Washburn University and Washburn Law both commit to excellence in teaching,” said Romig.

Romig presented a plaque to

Bahadur who thanked everyone that was present for sharing what he considered his ‘career defining honor’ and spoke of his appreciation to Washburn and colleagues for fostering one of the things he treasures most— teaching.

“Washburn Law should be honored, not me,” said Bahadur.

“Thank you to Washburn for valuing my passion.”

President Jerry Farley was also present for the ceremony referring to Bahadur’s recognition as remarkable.

“One of the things that makes our law school and university different than many is indeed the passion of the faculty members of Washburn,” said Farley. “We are really proud of him.”

Although many present at

the ceremony had good things to say about Bahadur, it is the words of the students who attended that helps prove such an honor is deserved.

Meridith Fry, 2L Washburn Law, said when she heard about the award she had no doubt Bahadur deserved such honor.

“You can see the passion he has for wanting us to learn. It comes through every day,” said Iasha Chaudhry, 3L Washburn Law student.

Taylor Concannon, 3L Washburn Law student, explained how Professor Bahadur was her first professor when she came to law school and appreciated how he set a strong foundation for the rest of her schooling.

“He immediately instilled in his students a passion to do well not just for themselves but

for him,” said Concannon. “He brings out a side of you so that you want to prepare well and you do not want to let him down.”

Alison Wood, 2L Washburn Law student who also took one of her first law classes from Brahadur, stressed that even though he is really great fun and exciting he makes students work really hard.

Because of Bahadur’s passion for teaching, Michaela Marine, a 2L Washburn Law student hopes to continue taking classes from him even if they do not pertain to future career plans.

“Even if that means I’m taking Maritime law and have no interest in it, I’d probably take it just because he’s teaching it,” said Marine.

President Farley is proud that Washburn Law has always

had the same tradition of excellent teaching. With faculty retiring, Farley stressed how special it is to see professors such as Bahadur.

“It’s our job to make certain that the faculty that we engage to take their place share all those values to carry on that tradition,” said Farley. “When you compare Bahadur against some of the faculty icons of the law school, he stands right up there with them.”

‘A Haunted House’ is a crazy parody on Netflix Brian Cervantez

WASHBURN REVIEW

Recently, I was looking for a movie to watch and I went looking through the New Releases on Netflix streaming.

The movie I found was called “A Haunted House.”

This is another parody movie that consists of horror movies that have come out in past years such as the “Paranormal Activity” movies and “The Devil Inside.”

I did not get to see it when it was released in theaters this past January.

The movie follows Malcolm, played by Marlon Wayans, who invites his girlfriend Kisha, played by Essence Atkins, to live with him. She brings a secret with her though, as a demon has possessed her since she was a kid.

The first thing I must say about this movie, is that it is not intended for young children to watch because it has an R rating.

The movie did not have the best cinematography with some of the lighting effects. There seemed to be too much light coming in during a scene where

a couple was supposed to be sleeping at night. The scene had them enjoying illegal activities while the spirit was in the room with them, but the brightness of the room made it distracting.

There also was not enough music in the movie to make it fun and enjoyable to watch for me. This was odd to me because usually when I see parodies, music is one of the things that’s done well, but that was not the case this time.

The camera shots were not the greatest either, because some scenes did not have enough headroom for the actors and this looked to be done on purpose, but I could not tell for sure. Some scenes seemed to last too long and I found myself moving around a lot because it did not grab my full attention. There were also a couple scenes that just dragged on too long.

The movie did have some funny moments, but I think the actors were a little over the top in some scenes. Granted, I know it was a parody, but some of the good parodies have been more serious and try not to make me

laugh at every given moment.

I felt like some of the scenes were just trying too hard to be funny, which made me get tired of them real quick.

I may not have liked everything about this movie, but I had friends watching it with me so it made it more enjoyable. It is more of a “bad movie night” movie.

I think if I would have watched this movie on my own though, I would have been bored with it too fast.

This reviewer gives “A Haunted House” a 5 out of 10.

However, don’t take my word for it and check it out. It is something to potentially watch with friends and laugh at how over the top it is.

The Ichabods took a win over Northeastern State and a 3-0 record, after Saturday night’s game in Tahlequah, Okla.

The final scoreboard was 48-3, with a win over the Riverhawks.

The now 0-3 Riverhawks came into the game with their starting quarterback and running back out, due to injury. Their offense couldn’t move the ball all night, only mustering 159 total yards of offense.

The Ichabod defense dominated the game for a third straight week and is now allowing just 11 points per game.

“We just had a great week of practice,” said Bryce Atagi senior linebacker. “We knew they were going to try to run the ball and out-physical us but we did a great job up front.”

The team’s struggle at quarterback last week seemed to resemble last year’s performance. In the first two games junior signal caller Mitch Buehler had looked strong, throwing for 545 yards and eight touchdowns while only throwing one interception. He seemed to be on track for an all-conference season, and still might be, but this week’s game was a big step backwards.

“We were just missing,” said Craig Schurig head coach. “They played us pretty tight in man coverage all night. We had some matchups that we thought we could go over the top on and we kept trying but we couldn’t get it.”

With just a 33 percent completion percentage and 168 yards, this game was Buehler’s worst game this year. He had two interceptions, which doubled his total for the season, but did manage to add a touchdown in the third quarter with a pass to senior tight end Tore’ Hurst. Backup QB Joel Piper didn’t fair any better in the time he saw, as he was just one of three passing for three yards. His one completion was a touchdown, but both of his incompletions were interceptions. He is now nine of 15 on the season, with half of his incompletions being turnovers.

Most of the time when a quarterback struggles, the offensive line can be partially to blame. That wasn’t the case this week and it hasn’t been all season. The experience the Bods have up front has been on display all season. They didn’t allow a sack this week while allowing a group of backup running backs to rush for 199 yards. The Ichabod big men have only allowed one sack all season and their running backs have had Jake Wingo harrold.wingo@washburn. huge holes to run through on their way to edu, is a sophomore mass media major.

WA S H

573 yards on the ground, for an average of 191 yards per game.

For the third week in a row the special teams coordinator, Jeff Schwinn’s guys have played a major role in the win. With the offense struggling the most it has all season, the lift from the special teams and defense added to the success. While he did throw for one the five Washburn interceptions, junior punter Aaron Hummer did pin the Riverhawks inside their own 20 yard line twice. Redshirt freshman kicker Justin Linn missed two field goals, but also made two more and sophomore Jaime Myers returned a punt 69 yards for a score.

The defense forced four turnovers during the game. Atagi intercepted his second pass in as many weeks and led the team in tackles.

“I told the guys before the game that if I got another interception I was going to take it to the house,” said Atagi.

He did just that returning it 35 yards for the score. They held the Riverhawks to 106 yards through the air and just 53 yards on the ground. They have gotten better each week and are a large reason for the Ichabods’ staggering 160-33 scoring differential. They have the most turnovers in the MIAA with 15, seven more than any other team.

The biggest take away from this game may have been injuries. Starting running back, sophomore, Sean McPherson injured his knee early in the first half and did not return. Schurig said that he doesn’t believe the injury is serious, but the fact that he wasn’t the only player to injure their knee might be. In fact, he wasn’t the only player at his position to do so. His replacement, fellow sophomore Donnie Lockhart, also sustained a knee injury in the third after rushing for a team high 92 yards. True freshman tight end Raymond Solis was the third Ichabod to be taken off the field after having his knee looked at in the fourth quarter.

While they may be limping back from Tahlequah after this week’s game, the 22nd ranked Ichabods are 3-0 and don’t play another team currently ranked inside the top-25 until November. Next Saturday they host the University of Central Oklahoma.

Last year the Bronchos upset the Bods 35-20 in Edmond, but this year they have to make the trip to Yager Stadium and are sporting a winless 0-3 record.

Cox optimistic about team

Megan Dortch

WASHBURN REVIEW

Marissa Cox thinks the future looks good for the Washburn Ichabod volleyball team.

Cox, a junior rightside hitter, became interested in volleyball when her sister Mandi, who was a Lady Blue from 20042007, played at a young age.

Cox decided she liked what she saw and wanted to pursue her own career in volleyball. At Central Heights High School, Cox earned four time all-area and all-region honors as well as two all-state honors throughout

her career.

Before her junior year at Central Heights, Cox wasn’t interested in Washburn.

However, the success of the team, campus and the overall atmosphere drew her in. Cox said even though Coach Herron is intense, he’s a great person to play for and the team is fun.

As far as success goes, Cox said the team is successful because players are in the right positions. Setter, Abby Wittman, is one example.

“Abby is a really good setter, she made all-MIAA last year. I think she gives the hitters good balls to be successful with,” said Cox. Cox earned all-MIAA honorable mention last season as a sophomore. For this season, Cox is hitting a .341 percent with 188 kills on the year so far.

“She contributes in every way possible,” said Tatiana Schafer, freshman outside hitter.

“She’s a leader who gets us all in the right mindset. We go to her for everything… she does it all.”

The Bods are a young team this year with new players trying to find their way into rotation.

Cox is confident that despite the inexperience, they are getting better each game and that will begin to show soon. Their goals are set high like beating Nebraska-Kearney and Central, and Cox is hoping that happens.

Off the court, Cox is a biology education major who likes to travel for fun when not getting together with the team.

“She is the funnest person to be around,” said Schafer. “She is hilarious all the time, cracking jokes and lightening the mood, it’s a great time to be around her and we all love it.”

Ichabods breeze past the Jets

Robert Zimmerman

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Ichabod soccer team had their first conference game against rival Emporia State on Friday. The team had trouble settling down and getting in to a good rhythm and fell 2-0.

Sunday, the Ichabods were back home against Newman University. This time things went the complete opposite as Danielle Curtis, senior, scored in the 6th minute off of a free kick.

“At Emporia state it took us about thirty minutes to settle down and find our rhythm and we didn’t have a very good attack,” said coach Tim Collins.

At halftime the Ichabods led 2-0 as Whitney Skinner,

sophomore, scored in the 38th minute. Coming out at half the Ichabods maintained their same momentum as Taylor Mayhew, senior, scored in minute 52.

This was a complete turnaround from Friday’s game.

“We had a lot more intensity in this game because Friday’s loss ignited a fire under team since we wanted to come out and get a win,” said Curtis.

The players even noticed their own improvements as the team eventually went on to win 4-0 with Curtis getting her second goal of another free kick in the 56th minute.

“The team put away their scoring opportunities this game,” said Collins.

While progression is being made, the players still feel like there are certain areas that can be improved in order to get more wins and have a better season.

“As a team I think we can continue to win and grow while learning to play off each other better,” said Curtis.

Some individual improvements can also become something the team as a whole has to work on in order to progress throughout the season.

“We should not rush

The Ichabods still have time to learn from missed opportunities. While some may seem minor, others might cost the team later on in the season as the level of competition increases and wins are at a premium as teams are vying for a conference title.

“The team had more consistency and settled down the score could have be 8-0 and we just have to practice taking better care of the ball,” said Collins.
