Brownback wins re-election

Republicans dominate Kansas midterm elections. Roberts, Kobach and Brownback all retain office.

Ryan

Despite trailing throughout most of the evening as election results rolled in, Republican incumbent governor Sam Brownback pulled out a last-minute victory over democratic challenger Paul Davis.

In a race that captured the attention of media across the country, Brownback eked out a narrow win, earning 49 percent of Kansans’ votes versus Davis’ 47 percent.

Pre-election polls and political experts alluded to almost sure win for Davis, who earned political endorsement from more than 100

GOP officials.

In winning, Brownback overcame national backlash for a tax plan deemed regressive by critics, a rapidly growing budget deficit and an education funding plan that detractors fear could put Kansas schools in dire straits.

Late Tuesday night, Davis conceded the race to Brownback, who will serve his second term as governor of Kansas.

Other races saw Republican

Pat Roberts win over Independent Greg Orman by a margin of eight points. Secretary of State Kris Kobach won out over democratic opponent Jean Schodorf, and republican candidates swept all four U.S. House of Representative seats.

Disaster strikes two space missions

Derek Richardson WASHBURN REVIEW

Ad astra per aspera - To the stars through difficulty. Not only is that the motto for Kansas, it is the motto for anybody pushing the limits of frontiers.

During the last week of October, that phrase hit home to the spaceflight community. Two accidents, both tragedies in their own right, highlight the very real dangers of spaceflight.

“You could see the shock wave ripple through the air...Debris leaving streaks of smoke behind them”

On Oct. 28, Orbital Sciences Corporation’s Antares rocket carrying the unmanned Cygnus cargo ship bound for the International Space Station suffered an anomaly seconds after launch in Virginia. It then fell back down to the pad in a spectacular fashion unseen in the United States in nearly two decades.

Three days later, Virgin Galactic’s WhiteKnightTwo airplane took off from the Mojave Spaceport in California carrying with it SpaceShipTwo, a vehicle in test-

for SpaceFlight Insider, was at the Antares viewing site just under two miles from the launch pad. He also had remote cameras positioned only a couple hundred feet from the rocket. He said the launch looked surprisingly bright, and assumed that was because it was the first night launch of Antares.

“Then suddenly, the flame turned yellow-orange and got far too bright,” said Severn. “That was the moment we knew something had gone catastrophically wrong.”

In a video shot by Severn and others watching in person, panic could be heard in the voices of the onlookers. In one video, a person can be heard warning everybody that it was going to be loud. At two miles away, it would be about nine seconds before the sound reached the crowd.

“You could see the shock wave ripple through the air,” said Severn. “Debris leaving streaks of smoke behind them. When the shock wave finally hit, you could hear people yelling to get back to their buses.”

Severn estimated the fireball to be about a thousand feet wide, based on size of the water tower next to the pad.

“As it fell, I was thinking fall left!” said Severn, hoping that the rocket would avoid destroying his cameras.

Influenza reported in Northeast Kansas

Ryan Ogle WASHBURN REVIEW

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has confirmed the state’s first case of influenza of the 2014-15 season.

The case was reported from an unspecified clinic in Northeast Kansas.

“We don’t disclose that sort of information,” said Aimee Rosenow, KDHE’s Public Information Officer, when asked where the case was reported.

“The first thing to do to protect yourself from getting the flu is to get the flu vaccine,” said Rosenow. “The other three things you can do is wash your hands, cover coughs and sneezes, and if you are feeling sick, just stay home and avoid contact with others.”

While the strain of influenza reported was not yet known, Rosenow pointed out that the majority of influenza cases reported last season were H1N1.

With flu and pneumonia responsible for more than 1,300 deaths in Kansas last season, health officials urge people to be cautious and pro-

Symptoms to look out for include fever, dry cough, extreme tiredness and achiness.

Jeff Corwin gets wild at Washburn

Katie Wade WASHBURN REVIEW

When he was just six years old animal conservationist Jeff Corwin flipped over a rock and encountered his destiny in the form of a small snake.

“And like a lightning bolt, I knew that whatever I did for the rest of my life, I’d be working with animals,” said Corwin.

Corwin shared with WU students and community members last Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. in White Concert Hall. A natural storyteller, he loves to entertain by sharing his experiences with others Corwin is passionate about educating others – a responsibility that he takes very seriously.

“[I want to] take these global experiences and share them in a way that empowers people to go forward themselves and make good choices,” said Corwin. “One of the best ways to do that is to take young people and connect them to nature, so they have fuel to push them forward. I want to introduce young people and their families to these wonderful things and show how they play an important role.”

Corwin brought several animals, including an alligator snapping turtle, a boa constrictor and a North American alligator – all saved by animal rescue organizations. For each animal he presented, he asked for assistance from the audience. Hands flew into the air as he asked for his next volunteer.

Corwin allowed his volunteer participants to handle the animals while he and his assistant handler, Mike, kept a watchful eye. Corwin uses audience participation to high-

light the notion that animals have lessons to teach us, lessons easiest learned when people and animals come face to face. He credits animals for teaching him to live in the moment and to take responsibility for caring for his planet.

“A robin is not thinking about its future. A whale shark swooping through a big loud of plankton isn’t thinking is it going to get enough calories. They just live in the moment, we don’t,” said Corwin. “But at the same time we do have that opportunity to say doing this today will affect me tomorrow. We as a species know that doing what we do today will affect our species and our planet tomorrow.”

As for students interested in the field, Corwin recommends getting the education needed to work in a science related field. Build your

Mother Earth News fair promotes sustainable living

Stephanie Cannon WASHBURN REVIEW

Mother Earth News is a nationwide publication, originating in Madison, Ohio, that began by specializing its content to the 1970s back-to-the-land movement.

The magazine focused on articles written from a do-it-yourself perspective and addressed such matters as gardening, hunting, home building as well as other sustainable ways to live in the world such as clean energy alternatives.

academic and field experience by going to school and making connections with people in the field.

“Really focus in on what you like. If you like bats, study bats. If you like bees, study bees. If you like conservation biology, study conservation biology,” said Corwin. “Build good relationships and really get out there and experiment and explore and make those connections.”

Corwin said his favorite parts of the job are the journeys themselves. He loves being in the field, experiencing powerful moments and being able to share those moments through his television series. He has almost 20 years of television experience under his belt and he’s currently the host of Ocean Mysteries on ABC.

“This whole process from being in the field, those magical moments, to editing and making something that people can actually bite their teeth into is something I love to do,” said Corwin. “My life’s a trip and it’s still producing.”

Today there is growing concern about such topics and according to the magazine’s current publisher and editorial director, Bryan Welch, readership has only increased in the last 10 years.

Even though one could say that the Topeka based publishing company is local, Welch disagrees.

“There’s nothing local about Mother Earth News,” said Welch. “It’s completely national. We don’t have any particular area of the country where we’re stronger than the other, it’s pretty wide-spread.”

While they have a diverse audience, Mother Earth has found a middle ground that allows them to connect with readers by taking a stance on advocacy issues.

“We have readership among all political leanings,” said Welch. though we do have much stronger readership among those who say they are very conservative or very liberal than we do from those in the middle. We have a tendency to attract those who have a very strong conscience about things and really strong opinions.”

Welch contends that his publication reaches beyond politics and addresses topics that everyone should be aware of.

“Everyone’s conscientious. A lot of politics is just about who looks and sounds like someone you’d trust,” said Welch. “But clean air, clean water, and making a better world for the next generations has a strong consensus among human beings and that’s what we try to speak to.”

Mother Earth News holds four annual events across the country, fairs that include product trials, networking opportunities with like-minded individuals, demonstrations and speakers who seek the opportunity to inform the public about new ways to be sustainable, clean and healthy.

One such speaker, David Gumpert, is a journalist and published author of the book “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Food Rights.” The author spoke about topics such as the lack of government oversight of GMOs and the rights of farmers to produce and sell raw milk and raw milk products.

“My goal is to educate people about what I call the food oligarchy,” said Grumpert. “We’re told we have issues of food safety and that we don’t have issues about GMOs, that everything is under control with GMOs.”

Gumpert also stresses that people and government must rethink old assumptions.

“We’re told that raw milk is completely dangerous and unsafe even though there are studies that suggest that raw milk has very important healing qualities in terms of helping kids with asthma and allergies,” said Grumpert. “Because we’re so bacteria-phobic we’re even getting rid of good bacteria as we try to sanitize our society.”

Overall, Mother Earth News tries to inform the public about current ways to live sustainably while acknowledging the budgets that most people have to work.

“Everyone’s conscientious,” said Gumpert. “A lot of politics is just about who looks and sounds like someone you’d trust, but clean air, clean water, and making a better world for the next generations has a strong consensus among human beings and that’s what we try to speak to.”

When someone is in great agony and, barring an act of God that won’t come, is going to die, is it better to let them die quickly or let them suffer for as long as is humanly possible?

Brittany Maynard, a 29-yearold newlywed was diagnosed in January with the most aggressive form of terminal brain cancer. She was told chemotherapy and radiation may prolong her life, but it would not save it. She was going to die and nothing could stop that.

After talking to her doctors who told her the truth, that dying was going to be a slow and painful process, she stopped worrying about what she couldn’t control –dying – and focused on what she could control; how she died.

Maynard moved from California

to Oregon, one of three states that has a “Death with Dignity” law. The law allows suffering, terminally ill patients to use prescribed medication to end their own life when they want – peacefully.

Last spring, Maynard began to have seizures and excruciating headaches. About a month ago, she told TIME Magazine that those symptoms were becoming longer and more painful.

She decided she wanted her life to end on her own terms. To be free of pain, and to be able to be sure she had all her friends and family with her when it happened.Then she made a bucket list of things to do.

Over the past six months she lived life to the fullest, traveling the world and spending all her time

BOD ST

“I feel like it was her decision and even though it impacted other people, she was the one with terminal brain cancer. No one really had a right to say “no you can’t.”

with her husband and family.

The date she had set to die was Nov. 1.

Leading up to that, she spoke on many occasions to media outlets about her decision, propagating her belief that one should be able to die with dignity, not incoherent and crippled by excruciating pain. At one point she said she might change the date to later than Nov. 1, but her symptoms grew worse.

When Nov. 1 came, she stayed true to her plan, took a doctorprescribed mix of barbiturates (painkillers), and she died as she intended — peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones.”

The country, and the world sent an outpouring of love and support to Brittany, but there were some

who sent hate and condemnation.

Matt Walsh is a 27-year-old with a blog that receives a great amount of attention because of the controversial content he posts. Lately, he is most notably known for condemning those with mental illness that who their own lives, as when Robin Williams passed away.

Now with Maynard’s death, he has made it abundantly clear through his posts that people who take their own lives are cowards, regardless of the situation or circumstances.

While his controversial remarks may generate more hits for his blog, they also generate hits to the already hurting hearts of the families of Robin Williams, Brittany Maynard and others who have seen no other way out but to take their own lives.

To be fair, in his Twitter bio, Walsh does post he is a “bourbon enthusiast.”

Then again, we don’t think any amount of alcohol could make us publically and emotionally abuse the families of suicide victims to gain followers and attention.

There are plenty of others who have posted comments on social

What do you think of Brittany Maynard’s decision to end her own life because of brain cancer?

media condemning Maynard’s decision. Maybe if she had read all of the wisdom from the tens of thousands of terminal brain cancer survivors and heard their first-hand experience advice via Facebook comments she would have changed her mind.

If you had the power to decide whether someone lived or died –giving them no say in the matterwould you exercise that power over them?

Apparently tens of thousands of people would have exercised the power of deciding whether Brittany Maynard could make that decision. Many people exercise that power over others anyway. We call them murderers.

But to bring it full circle, it comes down to one question: if a person were entirely engulfed in 2,200 degree fire, would you put them out of their agony, or would you be Matt Walsh and stand and watch until the screams stopped?

“I think maybe she should not have done it because with the medical technology we have today, there could have been a cure later on. It would’ve been better if she kept fighting instead.”

“I think ultimately it was her decision, so if that is what she wanted to do, then she should be able to do it.”

Washburn basketball faces KU in exhibition match

Tyler Feist WASHBURN REVIEW

On Monday Nov. 3 the Washburn Ichabod men’s basketball team got its first live action of the year as it traveled to Lawrence to take on the fifth ranked Kansas Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse. It was a soldout crowd with an intimidating atmosphere from tip off through the entire game.

The starting lineup for the Ichabods included seniors Algie Key, Alex North, Kyle Wiggins, Stephon Drane and junior Turon Parker.

The first two points of the game for Washburn came after Kyle Wiggins hit a step back jump shot early in the first half. After forcing a turnover, KU took a 9-3 lead and rode that momentum for the rest of the night and never looked back.

The first half was dominated by the Jayhawks, who had 28 rebounds and shot 52 percent from the field as they took a 42-13 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The first 20 minutes were rough for the Ichabods. They turned the ball over 10 times and only shot 17% from the field. Senior guard Korey Fisher led the Bods in scoring at the half with seven points.

Washburn had a much more impressive second half. For the remaining 20 minutes of the game the Bods battled and hung with the nationally ranked KU team. Washburn improved its offense efficiency with a field goal percentage of 39 percent and 40 points in the second half. The final outcome ended favoring KU with a score of 85-53.

With 14 total points, Fisher was the leading scorer for the Ichabods. Junior guard Kevin House also made a couple outstanding offensive plays

and finished with eight points. After an exhausting 30 minutes of playing time, senior Alex North fouled out with six points and seven rebounds. Washburn basketball head coach Bob Chipman was interviewed after the game concluded. Chipman said he was very impressed with KU’s defensive and shooting abilities. He commented that KU took Washburn out of almost everything they wanted to do in the first half. He also further discussed that Washburn will take bits and pieces of this game as a positive outcome and described Fisher as a “scoring machine.”

The next two exhibition match ups for Washburn do not get much easier. The Ichabods will travel to Norman, Okla. and Manhattan, Kan. to take on the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas State Wildcats.

The Washburn Ichabod soccer season came to an end with a 3-1 loss at Fort Hays State on Sunday afternoon in Hays. The match marked the final game for seniors Jenna Cunningham, Tori Fuglister and Valerie

Harms – four-year members of the Ichabod program.

The match was tied until the 19th minute when the Tigers’ Kylee Loneker scored her second goal of the season putting Fort Hays State on the board. The Tigers added another goal in the 28th minute on Hailey Davey’s fifth goal of the season.

Washburn, who finished the season 0-17-1 overall and 0-13-1 in conference play, scored before the half in the 40th minute on an unassisted goal by Hadyn Hutchinson, her first of the season when she took advantage of a Tiger miscue and scored into the lower right hand box of the net trimming the FHSU lead to 2-1

going into the break.

The Tigers (12-4-2, 10-2-2 MIAA) added their final goal in the 51st minute on Kelsey Steffens’ seventh goal of the season.

The Ichabods were outshot 25 to 8 in the match including an 18 to 1 advantage by the Tigers in the second half.

Emily Stauffer and Hutchinson each had two shots overall for Washburn. The Ichabods’ all-time saves leader, Fuglister, finished her career with seven saves against the Tigers recording 333 saves.

Moore leads Bods to victory over Hornets

Adam Vlach WASHBUR REVIEW

The Ichabod football team on Saturday, Oct. 31 snapped a three-game losing streak with an impressive 36-10 victory over Emporia State.

Washburn got off to a quick start. After forcing the Hornets to go three-andout, running back Vershon Moore racked up three first downs on Washburn’s first posession before running it in from two yards out to put the Bods up 6-0 just over four minutes into the game.

Moore scored again six minutes later on a 14-yard run out of the Wildcat

formation. The first quarter ended with Washburn on top, 13-0.

After more staunch defense and a field goal on a drive that took up over half the second quarter, the Ichabods were up 16-0 with just under four minutes remaining in the first half when Moore returened a punt 85 yards for his third touchdown of the game. The second half concluded 23-0, Washburn.

The Ichabods were shut out in the third quarter, with Emporia State scoring 10.

The Ichabods held on, though. Just a minute into the fourth quarter, Moore rushed for a first down

and Washburn history. He broke the school record of most all-puprpose yards in a game with that fourth quarter rush.

Washburn scored twice more, once by Moore and once by quarterback Zeke Palmer.

Moore finished the game with 306 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns.

The final score was 3610, Washburn.

Tonantzin Society presents exhibit at Mulvane Art Museum

Cindy Rose WASHBURN REVIEW

As part of its annual Dia de los Muertos celebration, the Mulvane Art Museum has partnered with the Tonantzin Society to present an exhibition featuring the mixed media artwork of Wayne Hilton on display now through Dec. 20.

Hilton’s work is inspired by the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and by a famous Mexican illustrator named Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913). It is a tribute to his death 100 years ago.

Posada was a Mexican political printmaker and engraver. His work influenced many Latin American artists and cartoonists because of its satirical and social implications. His large body of work included over 20,000 illustrations over his lifetime.

“Posada was an artist in the arts and crafts movement,” said Hilton. “Skilled Artisans gained recognition for their craft and

For creating Bods Feeding Bods, an organization that helps students who are struggling to get food while being a college student.

Why the idea: “I think that getting an education is hard enough and I don’t want anyone to ever have to choose between getting an education and providing for themselves or for their family.

Preparation for the organization: “I wanted to know how to make it possible. I had already completed a WTE with Dr. Mike Russell so I partnered with him as my faculty mentor. We spent last fall and last spring going through the steps that you would for a leadership WTE; doing research, seeing who is involved, going through the process of getting approval.

“It is exquisite,” said Janet Bailey, a Topeka resident and visitor of the exhibit. “The colors are so vivid, the way he puts together every square inch tells a story. The way all the colors blend together makes a statement with each figure.”

My Study System

Last week I wrote an article for the Review about the importance of preparing for finals early. Now I’m going to offer you some tips from my own study process and encourage you to develop your own. There are four main parts to my study process and it relies heavily on my in-class note taking.

Take good notes in class:

I depend on my notes to carry me through my process. If I’m not taking good notes, my system just won’t be complete. We are a bit over halfway through the semester and you might be feeling a bit of burnout. I know I am. Don’t allow the temptation to get the better of you. Instead, focus your energy on your note-taking. It may not help the day get more interesting or go any faster, but it will help you pick up and absorb the information presented.

Make a copy of your notes:

This is the most essential part of my own routine. I take ‘chicken-scratch’ notes in class. They look super messy – no one would ever want to

read them. In class, I worry less about the look of my notes as I take them. Instead, I focus on the information and make sure I have all the details I need. Then, each night, I copy those notes down on a separate sheet of paper. I structure them and color code them in a way that works for me. I’m a visual learner and I find that color helps quite a bit. Colored pens are my best friends.

Develop a schedule for reading your notes:

Now it’s up to repetition to get the information ingrained in your memory. Don’t let your notes sit idly by. Establish a routine and stick to it. Schedule a time to go over your notes for each class. It could be once a day, every other day, weekly, etc.

It’s up to you how often you need to review your notes. Prioritize the classes in which you need to brush up on your knowledge and skills.

Practice your tests:

The best way to prepare for a test is to practice the test. If your professor is kind enough to hand out a study guide, don’t let it go to waste! Use it to practice! Write out your answers. Have a friend or roommate quiz you. Time yourself. Also, look for gaps in what you know. It’s not in your notes? Ask your professor!

By developing a study system that works for you and sticking to it, you will be better equipped to handle finals week in December and you will save yourself a load
