n Looking back on a century and a half of academic excellence and diversity
Derek Richardson WASHBURN REVIEW
WashburnUniversitywillcelebrate its sesquicentennial on Friday, Feb. 6, 2015. In anticipation of the 150th anniversary, celebrations were split into four yearsstartingwiththeacademic year beginning in August 2011. Each academic year focused on one of the four era’s in Washburn’shistory.Thisyearfocuses on the last 25 years and looks towards the future.
The Lincoln Harmon Lecture will be the irst of many sesquicentennial events over the next nine months. The lecture is one of many special events instituted for the anniversary. This year, the speaker will be Steven Hahn, professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania. His lecture is titled “What the SlavesThought of Lincoln” and will be held on Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Washburn Room of the Memorial Union.
Other upcoming events include a student concert in April called “WU Stock” and a Grand Graduation on May 16, but the big events will be held in Oct. 2015 during Homecoming weekend. On that weekend, the Morgan Hall Welcome Center and Sesquicentennial Ichabod Plaza will have its grand opening followed by the Homecoming football game against the University of Central Oklahoma.
Martha Imparato, who started working at the library 25 years ago, is director of special collections at the Mabee Library. She is in charge of university archivesandhasbeenhelpingto collect relevant history relating to Washburn’s past and bring it to the present.
“It’s very exciting to be around for that milestone in the University,” Imparato said of the sesquicentennial.
Some of the most exciting things she said she’s witnessed at Washburn have been when JerryFarley,theuniversitypresident, arrived as well as seeing new building construction and campus beautiication efforts.
Imparato’s mission is to categorizealltheuniversitypublications that she can, including the yearbook, alumni magazines, newsletters and more. Some of the oldest things the university has include the original Lincoln College records.
Washburn was founded in 1865 as Lincoln College by a charter issued by the state of Kansas and the GeneralAssociation of Congregational Ministers and Churches of Kansas. In 1868, the school was renamed
WashburnCollegeafterIchabod Washburn pledged $25,000 to the school.
Since there were hardly any high schools in Kansas at the time and high school was a college requirement, the irst year of Lincoln College only served as a high school. The following year, a couple of students transferred into the college from the high school. Only one person, Addison Pease Davis, graduated from Lincoln College before it was renamed. He was a pris-
oner of war in the south before theCivilWarended.In1868,he transferred in as a junior.
“We’ve been non-traditional from the very beginning,” Imparato said of Davis being a transfer student.
Imparato said that Washburn has been a forward thinking school from its start. The Articles of Association in the Incorporation of Lincoln College

FBI trained oicers head WUPD
Studentsundertheimpression that Washburn police were just gloriied security guards may want to rethink their assumptions.
Campus police are, in fact, exactlywhattheysoundlike--licensed police oficers who carry irearms and have the power to arrest.
“We have 15 full-time certiied law enforcement oficers on staff,” said Chris Enos, Captain of the Washburn Police Department. “What ‘certiied’ means is that we get the same training, thesameauthority,asanypolice oficer in the state of Kansas. The only real difference is our jurisdiction.”
Their staff also includes a phone service that students can use to reach police 24 hours a day,aswellaspart-timehelpfor events such as football games.
Enos, a current Washburn student seeking his undergraduate degree in criminal justice, has recently returned from extra training at the FBI National Academy, which is seen as an honor among police.
“For Washburn, having a graduate from the National
Academy, is very prestigious,” Enos said. “There are very few universities that have graduates from the program and we actually have two.”
Dean Forester, the Washburn Campus Chief of Police, is also a NationalAcademy graduate.
National Academy training is important because the training teaches oficers how labor laws apply to law enforcement, advanced investigative interview techniques, hostage negotiation and other general information the FBI feels is helpful for police oficers in investigations as well as in their day to day lives.
“It’s a good program for me because it gives me training you wouldn’t normally get here in Kansas,” Enos said.
In order to be eligible to receive the training an oficer must be a lieutenant or higher and it takes a year or two longer to get into the program itself.
At no cost to Washburn, the classes taken also count as college credit from the University of Virginia, helping Captain Enos and other members of law enforcement that are seeking their degree in criminal justice.
“This training is great for FBI outreach to local law enforcement,” said Enos. He continued
me to know him and for him to know me before he even gets here. ”

Hughes said that for the last 15 or so years the campus has been transformed due to Farley’s vision for the campus. Both Hughes and Imparato have noticed the trend of students wearing Washburn gear more often than in the past, and that there is a lot more school pride.
“Students out on the lawn throwing frisbees,” said Hughes, “that’s something I wouldn’t have seen when I was a student.”

Students to visit Russia
Abbie Stuart WASHBURN REVIEW
Thirty years ago, Gordon McQuere, professor of music with a research specialty in Russian music, spent a semester in Moscow during the years of the Soviet Union. Last year during his sabbatical, McQuere returned to Russia to study the language. By the timehecamebacktoTopeka,heknew he had to share his love for Russia withothers.
“It’s such a wonderful place to visit and it’s so timely in the world,” McQuere said. “Washburn has never taken a group to Russia, so it seemed likeagreatopportunity.”
McQuere and Dmitri Nitzovstev, associate professor of economics, are going to take a group of students to Russia from May 22-June 3. The trip will be a part of a “Music in Russia” course, which can either be taken as a general education course or count towardsamusicmajor. Theclasswill meet on Wednesday from 5:30-6:45 fromMarch23-May15.
The cities that the group will visit are St. Petersburg, Moscow and Petrozavodsk, Nitzovstev’s hometown.
“We just didn’t want the students to see a showcase of the country,” Nitzovstev said. “In Petrozavodsk, they can see kind of the Topeka sized city, except with Russian soil, and they can always see the everyday life of musicians and of music students. I
think it will be a very transformative experience.”
McQuere and Nitzovstev shared that they hope to use music to enable students to understand Russia better. Discussions about the role music has played in the past and present in regards to Russian life, culture, politics, religion and international perceptionwillbeapartofthepre-trip course.
“Understanding Russian music is impossible without understanding Russian history, Russian culture, Russian everyday lifestyle, Russian politics, Russian economy,” Nitzovstevsaid.
“Musicbecomesthecommonfactor that allows us to tie it all together,” McQuereadded.
The trip is estimated to cost $3300 with International WTE scholarships available. Additionally, students need to prepare to pay additional expenses, such as acquiring a Visa and passport iftheydon’thaveone.
There will be two informational meetings about the course and trip. They will be on Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 5:30, and on Monday, Feb. 9 at 4:30. Both will be in Garvey 220. People interestedinthetripareencouragedto attend.
Military veteran project
In 2011, while serving overseas, staff Sargeant Jamie Jarboe was shot by a sniper,paralyzinghimfrom the chest down. His wife Melissa Jarboe, now the executive director for the Military Veteran Project, wastakentotheDepartment of Defense hospital where they were treating him for hissevereinjuries.
Sgt. Jarboe endured numerous surgeries and struggled for his life. He required special surgery on hisneckforaninjurycaused by the bullet. Melissa could see they needed another opinion and petitioned for him to be transferred to a civilianhospital.
After long days and nights of research and care, Melissa found a hospital and surgeon who was capable of performing the procedure. Dr. Stephen Yang had done the surgery many times with successful outcomes at Johns Hopkins Hospital. However, all 72 of Melissa’s transfer petitionsweredenied.
A ray of hope shined onto the situation. Surgeon General Patricia Horoho was able to help Melissa and her husband get their transfer accepted, and Sgt. Jarboe was sent to Johns Hopkins for the surgery he desperatelyneeded.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Melissa was told that the medical insurance would not cover the cost. But for Melissa, it was not an option to give up. She soldandliquidatedanything shecould,lefthercorporate job and cashed out all her retirement funds. This was enough to cover most of the medical bills from the procedure.
21,2012,Sgt.Jarboepassed away. Before he passed, he left Melissa with three inal requests: to care for fellow service members, to never go back into the corporate world, and to remember how beautiful she was and go on living her life with joyandlove.
She has kept her word to him by creating the MVP. Through the MVP, Melissa has been able to reach out and help countless families and veterans.
The project provides transitional housing for veterans and their families and comprehensive support services including outreach and assessment as well as emergency services and case management. Melissa explained that the vision of MVP is to empower veterans with lasting results, help them go to college, get degrees and reintegrate them into the community. Rehabilitation and reintegration for combatveteranshelpsbring veterans and their families back together. To date, the program has assisted over threethousandcases.
The Military Veteran Project has also come up witheffectivetreatmentsfor thosewhosufferfromPostTraumatic Stress Disorder to improve their function and reduce symptoms. Many of our returning soldiers suffer from PTSD and are overmedicated, making it even more dificult for them to return to a normal life. MVP has come up with several ways to assist and educate veterans, which include planning out a routine schedule, which helps with PTSDsymptoms.
A case manager from MVP can aid the veterans with the paperwork for gettingintoacollege.Battle
smoothly and successfully. Roughly 70 percent of their caseload suffer from traumaticbraininjury,many of them caused by IEDs. They use aqua therapy and other treatments to help withdaytodaylife.
Another hurdle returning soldiers face is having their military credentials not recognized by companies, making work hard to ind. MVP has been working with several businesses, includingWestStarEnergy, to help transfer the skills learned in the military to civilianjobs.
Melissa made a point of impressing that support for these men and women is vital for them to thrive once they are back in the everyday life. Over the next several years, Melissa would like to be able to have adequate stafing, and togrowandtrainmoremen and women for the Battle Buddy system. She also wantstomakepeopleaware of VA and Department of Defense cutbacks that are seriously affecting the aid ourveteransreceive.
“We’re training men and women how to come home from war, and reminding them they are the pillars of the community,” Melissa said when asked about the impact MVP is having on veteransandtheirfamilies.
The MVP and Melissa Jarboe have come a long way since 2012 and continue to support and make a difference in the lives of many through their numerousprograms.

To Mars in 10 years economically viable
ThestatedgoalofNASAisto gotoMarsbythemid2030s.The irst of the vehicles that might take us there, the Space Launch System and Orion, won’t ly people until at least 2021 with the current budget realities. That is over seven years away, or nearly two presidential terms. The political landscape will be totally different by that time, so there is a risk of cancellation before hardware can even get to the launch pad. What NASA needs is a 10-year timeframe for a goal of going to Mars.
NASA’s proposed 2016 budget is just over $18.5 billion, but not all of that is spent on
space exploration. Only $4 billion goes to developing exploration hardware, like SLS and Orion, and another $4 billion goes to the International Space Station. If it is assumed that all infrastructure in low earth orbit will be privatized, including ISS, that gives NASA $8 billion a year for deep space exploration. The reality is that NASA needs at least twice that amount to develop all the hardware needed to send humans to Mars.
GoingtoMarsin10yearswill give the economy a huge boost, much like what happened with the Apollo program in the 60s

and 70s. To get to the moon by 1969, the country had to create whole new industries to get there. The economic gains from that program are still being felt today with microprocessors and satellite technology, but more importantly, Apollo inspired a generation of students to go into careers in science and engineering.
It can be expected that a Mars program will have similar results, only this time there is an emerging private spacelight industry to help lower the cost of getting there. NASA can use the same partnership that is currently being used to promote
a private human spacelight industry to help sustain a human presence on the red planet.
The problem with saying that NASA is to go to Mars in 20 years is that the program can lose focus. If you have a 10year timeline, you have to focus on what it takes to get there and little else. There’s no need to create a fancy solar electric propulsion system or “better radiation protection” when we already have the technology to get people to Mars safely. We only have to decide that it is timetogo.

Grocery shopping on a budget
How to eat on $40 a week
Getting fed without going broke
Most college students have two main issues when it comes to inding something to eat; a lack of money and a lack of time. However, with proper planningandbudgeting,thetask is manageable.
Grocery shopping for a college student on a shoestring budget is easier than one might expect. The key to shopping on a budget is to make a list of necessities and avoid grabbing anything extra. When making your list, be sure to choose items that are both versatile and inexpensive.
Four basics that can go a long way in the kitchen are milk, bread, butter and eggs. These simple ingredients can be used for countless recipes. If all else fails, whipping up a plate of scrambled eggs with a side of toast is not only a good source of protein, but also delicious.
Classics like peanut butter and jelly or lunch meat and cheese sandwiches are always good options as well.
For the carnivores out there, meat is another all-important essential. While chicken and beef can tend to be a bit pricey, the diligent shopper can easily ind both items on sale if trips to the store are timed right.
Grabbing a few boxes of Hamburger Helper or Pasta-
Roni can bring some much appreciated lavor and variety tothetablewithoutbreakingthe bank.
Pasta and rice are two more budget-friendly items that be used to make many different dishes and deliver more than enoughcarbstokeepyoufueled for inals. Toss in a can of tomato sauce or packet of pesto mix and you’ve got a quick and easy meal that, with the right presentation, could pass for a gourmet platter.
Those who don’t mind the simple things in life can’t go wrong with a basic box of macaroni and cheese, package of Ramen noodles or frozen pizza.
With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, stocking the cabinets with nutrient-rich choices is of the utmost importance. This is whereoatmealcanbecomeyour best friend. One box of oatmeal packets and a water faucet can equatetoatleastaweek’sworth of breakfast. The cereal killers of the world can get much more bang for their buck by choosing generic options over name brands.
Another breakfast necessity is that piping hot cup of coffee that so many need to get going in the morning. While popping
into the coffee shop on the way to class might be the easiest option, that convenience comes at a cost. Instead of blowing your caffeine budget on one or two lattes, pick up a pound of instant coffee. Add a bit of milk and sugar and the only noticeable difference will be in the extra money in your pocket at the end of the week.
Before heading to the store, make a list of everything you’ll need for week and stick to it. Adding impulse items to the cart is the best way drain your budget. Plus, you run the risk of having that extra food spoil before being eaten.And nobody likes throwing money in the trash.
The receipt pictured on the right gives an example of how a student can stock up for the week on a grocery budget of $40.
Of course, inding time to cook three meals a day can be dificult when classes and studying are factored into the equation. For those times when you can’t waste time in your own kitchen, a list of local restaurants that offer student discounts can be found below.
Be sure to keep your eyes out for happy hour deals and daily specials as well. Happy shopping!
Student friendly restaurants
Food is an important part of many cultures, including the American culture. Friends, families and coworkers will commonly go to restaurants and talk or discuss business over a meal.

Opinion: Important takeaways of Super Bowl XLIX
to lose the least?
There are two things I won’t remember from Super Bowl XLIX.
I won’t remember Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch punching it in from the 1-yard line to win the game for the Seahawks.
And I won’t remember a young boy learning to ride a bike, catch cooties, travel with his dog or get married.
I will remember the struggles of the left shark, but that’s an entire topic of its own.
Next year is Super Bowl 50, so I would expect big plans, but whatever they do, this year’s gameasawhole,fromadstothe halftime show to football itself, will be hard to top.
One thing that would make it better from the start, though, would be seeing some teams in the Super Bowl that we haven’t seen for a very long time, or ever. With this years matchup consisting of the defending champions and a team that now haswonfourofthelast14Super Bowls, it had a much “same ol’, same ol’” feeling.As for myself and many I talked with, the question was, who do you want
The halftime show will be hardtobeat.I’mnotahugeKaty Perry fan; she was good but not great. But the costume changes, lighting, choreography, and stage mechanics – pretty much everything other than Katy Perry – astounded me.And then therewasMissyElliot.Thatwas a blast from the past. Please go back to the past.
But the show was good, and I will remember it, which is more than can be said for past years.
The game itself was great. It started out slowly, which I was glad to see because I did not want to see a blowout like the previous year. This game was actually fun to watch, up until theveryend.Theverysickening end.
The media have already run segments and articles on the goal-linedecisionoverandover, so there is no point in adding to that mountain of discussion.
But I must admit, when Marshawn Lynch said in his press conference that he was only “here” so he wouldn’t be ined, I thought “here” meant at the press conference, not on the team. I stand corrected.
Despite the pathetic ending fortheteamIwantedtolosethe least, I at least got to see a ight. Thatwasprettycool(noonegot hurt).
I almost didn’t watch the Super Bowl this year, but it seems I made the right decision.

Ichabods sufer heartbreak loss, redeemed in Fort Hays State game
Kevin Lewis WASHBURN REVIEW
The Washburn Ichabods men’s basketball team faced off against the Nebraska-Kearny Lopers at home Jan. 29.
The beginning of the game was a little rough for the Ichabods, who started in a three point deicit. They soon corrected this deicit by tying up thegameatsevenpointswith17 minutes left in the half.
Washburn stayed with the Lopers for the entire irst half, never letting the Lopers get a lead of more than three points the entire half. The game was tied nine times and the lead changed between the Lopers and the Ichabods ive times. A tiedscoreof34pointsattheend of the irst half left fans highly anticipating the second half.
The second half started similarly to the irst, leaving the Ichabods trailing. Washburn picked up the pace, keeping the score within two points.
The lead changed 10 times in the second half. The game went on with the score tying for
another nine times. As a result, regulation ended with the score tied at 76 points. This led the teams to another intense period of the game.

Former assistant coach and former Washburn baseball player Harley Douglas is the new head coach for the baseball program. The Bods will look to lean on some of the experienced players but will also rely on some new faces this spring.
After going 26-24 overall and inishing seventh in the MIAA last season, Washburn was picked to inish ninth in the conference by all the coaches in the 2015 preseason poll. However, the players and coaches are feeling determined and optimistic about this upcoming year.
Douglas said that the players had adapted well to having a new head coach this past fall. Having someone who was already a part of the coaching staff become the

it easier for the players to really buy in to the newly run program, Douglas said. When asked what the focus of this offseason was, Douglas explained that getting all the players to adjust to the speed of college baseball was the main focus.
After an entire fall season of observing his players, Douglas believes that the team’s greatest strength is its speed and leadership.
According to Douglas, theareathattheteamneeds to improve on is throwing strikesandgettingthefew stragglers to buy into the commitment to the team.
The team will have six seniors and other experienced players that are ready to lead. Douglas believes that some of the key returners from last year are Kyle Carnahan, David Gaunt, Parker Gibson, Corey Gragg and Connor Crimmins. He also has conidence that seniors Eric Schmid and Hank Wellborn should be able to lead the pitching
as being the head coach, Douglas described his job as a lot more than just coaching baseball. The job requires dealing with student athletes, maintaining a budget and also trying to recruit players for upcoming seasons.

Students present research at Capitol
Grace Foiles WASHBURN REVIEW
Washburn University students will be presenting their undergraduate thesis at the CapitolBuildingonWednesday, Feb.11alongwithstudentsfrom the Kansas Board of Regents universities.
Five projects have been selected from Washburn for the Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol. These include: Chelsea Cates’ “No One Else Can Take Your Place: Factors predicting LGBT suicide risk”; Susie Fields’ and Travis Bussen’s “Rehabilitation, Retribution, and Recidivism at the Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex”; Haley Harris’ “Turnt up on Religion: The relationship between various aspects of religion and substance use”; Mary Ralston’s, Rebecca Maason’s, Madison Wiegers’, and Jack Van Dam’s “‘The dreamers’” Daring to dream”; and CaseyWoodward’s “No One Listened.”
“I will be presenting my research over LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) suicide,” senior psychology major Chelsea Cates explained. “For my project I created a surveyonSurveyMonkey,which grouped factors that have been linked to LGBT suicide (mental health history, depression, family support, etc.) according to the bio-psychosocial model in order to igure out which
most highly correlates with LGBT suicide. For example I put family health history in the biological category, depression proneness in the psychological category, and number of LGBT support groups attended into the socialcategory.Iranaregression analysis and found that psychological factors predicted suicide above and beyond the other two categories.”
It is Cates’ hope that her research will “open the eyes of Kansans and improve mental health care for LGBT people.”
Chelsea went on to explain, “I chose this topic for my thesis because I am lesbian and many of my friends are LGBT, so the topic is close to my heart. I’m hoping that the research will help others like me to get the psychological care that they need.”
Haley Harris, a senior psychology major, and one of the participants in this event explained her project.
“My project is titled ‘Turnt up on religion: The relationship between religiosity and substanceuse’.Iamresearching the previously shown inverse relationship of religiosity and substance use, particularly the private and public factors of religion and the aspect of social support. Pretty much my hypothesis was that those who exhibit a higher degree of religiosity, particularly private religiosity, will be less likely to use/abuse substances, and
then religion would be the predominate protective factor in this relationship, even over social support. The results support this hypothesis.
“I chose this topic because substance use, especially alcohol, is a prevalent problem among the college population and religion offers a unique perspectiveintheresearchabout college students and substance useandwhatworksasprotective factors against substance use,” Harris continued. “Furthermore, faith-based treatment is an upand-coming area of mental health treatment and offers unique alternatives for dealing withproblemssuchassubstance use and I hope my research can contribute to this area.”
This will be the third annual Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol and projects will be set up in the rotunda where peoplecancomeseetheproject.
Harris is most excited for the chance to present her research in a “public and inluential setting,” which gives students the opportunity toimpactlegislationandchange ways of thinking.
While both Cates and Harris expressed nervousness over giving their presentations, both are also looking forward to the opportunity to do so.

Washburn student to spark inspiration with
Chelsea Howe WASHBURN REVIEW
Fans of ceramic art can soon enjoy the BFA senior exhibition of Ryan Caldwell. His three-dimensional work sparks inspiration for even just the everyday person unfamiliar withtheworldofceramics.

One of the many ceramic pieces featured in the Continuum art exhibit.
which in the artist’s words means, “a continuous changing of events, from one thing to the next. You can’t tell it’s very different, but from beginning to end, it’s completely different.”
This is relected in Caldwell’s own experience at Washburn, graduallygrowingasanartist.
Every student in Washburn’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program must explore a variety of mediums. Caldwell has experience with drawing, painting and graphic arts but lostinterest.
“Then I discovered sculpture and ceramics, and fell in love with the material,” Caldwell said. “The process grabs my attention and really consumes me.”
“In a painting, you can add layers and more stuff on top. Withclay,youhavetoworkwith it from wet to dry and the iring process. It’s more systematic; youhavetoletitspeaktoyou.”
This particular show will feature works such as ovals and spheres with soft brick and kiln elements inside them, which have been ired multiple times.
“These pieces are about the sheer magnitude of process in a loose and expressive treatment, andthesmallmicrodetailsIcan
get on the surface,” Caldwell saidaboutthegallery.
This emphasis on material processisnotentirelylimitedto ceramics. The upstairs portion of the gallery will show his paintings, drawings and prints, mostly done before his ceramic phasebegan.
“He’s been thinking about this all semester,” said Glenda Taylor, Washburn’s art department chair who serves as faculty advisor to Caldwell.
“He’s got really quality work, a varietyoftypesofceramicwork, paintings and prints as well. I think it’ll be an outstanding show. He’s been very selfstarting, done a lot of research on his own to ind techniques he wantedtoexplore.He’sthought carefullyaboutwhathewantsto express.”
The press release for this showsays,“Eachmarkcaptures a moment of spontaneous decision making that creates a narrativewithinthepiece.”That combines with careful thought to leave Caldwell’s pieces with anunderlyingtension,anurgent expressiveness which demands theviewer’sattention.
