WASHBURN REVIEW
Public smoking and the rights of smokers vs. non-smokers is an ongoing and often heated debate But what of the rights of those who don’t smoke? Cassandra White, president of the Washburn Student Government Association (WSGA) feels one solution is to have dedicated smoking installations. “The White/McAfee administration is not looking to ban smoking on campus,” said White, “We are just trying to relocate it. Right now it’s in the middle of walkways, doorways, and the ten feet rule is not being adhered to.” The plan, still in the information gathering stage, is to have about five to six different locations around campus where installations, which she described as having a concrete slab foundation with benches and ashtrays, would be set up to have an overhang
to keep smokers out of the elements. Currently, smokers are not provided with shelters. “When it rains, or snows, they are in the doorways,” said White, who also noted that a number of students from various areas, primarily around Morgan Hall, Mabee Library and Henderson have been complaining about the smoke. White said her administration is trying to find a happy medium. “We are walking the line between those that think smoking on campus is fine as is, those students, faculty and staff should be able to walk around campus as they please, and the students faculty and staff that wish to ban it, entirely,” said White. Janae Fairborn, though not a WU student, frequents campus multiple times a week. She agreed that while smokers should have the right to smoke, it sometimes inflicts upon others’ freedom to not be around it.
“It’s hard to balance everybody’s freedom,” said Fairborn. “I would say designated smoking areas are a great idea.” Some of the tentative locations that White is looking at placing installations include the west enclave of Morgan Hall, between Henderson and the Library, and areas around Petro that aren’t damaging to athlete health. White wants the shelters accessible, especially for the faculty. “If they only have a 15 minute break in their day, and they want to go out and smoke, we don’t to make it to where they have to walk twelve minutes to go wherever they are trying to get to.” said White, “Our main concern is just getting it off the pathways” Aside from the instillations, the plan would be for smoking to be prohibited on campus. White and her administration plan on talking with members of
faculty and administration about the plan. “We don’t want to pursue anything that isn’t capable of coming to fruition,” said White. “We really can’t do anything to alter the face of campus without their support.” WSGA hopes to hold an open forum before winter break for students, faculty and staff to voice their opinions about oncampus smoking. “This is something that is so important for everyone on campus to be engaged in,” said White. Students are welcome to share their thoughts with WSGA via email at office@mywsga. com. Additionally, students can attend the full senate meetings, which meet every Wednesday at 6:30pm in the Kansas Room in the Memorial Union.

America Recycles Day is a day of awareness regarding our environment. Created by the organization Keep America Beautiful, the program aims to educate persons on the impact they have on their environment and suggests activities that challenge those persons to make changes that will benefit the world around them. Businesses, campuses, organizations, or individuals can pledge to recycle online or choose to host an event in their community on or around Nov. 15. While Washburn does not plan to host an America Recycles Day event at this time, campus officials does encourage its students to live a lifestyle of environmental awareness. Washburn’s sustainability program includes policies on recycling and waste. The purpose of such policies, according to the Washburn website, is, “The key for a successful recycling program at Washburn is the participation and support from the administration, faculty, staff and students. With our dwindling natural resources, landfills and global warming, recycling will benefit everyone in our community with a cleaner environment, a more attractive campus, an economic advantage for the university, and move the campus towards sustainability.” In partnership with the Shawnee County Recycling Department, Washburn currently has three large recycling containers located on the south side of Henderson Learning Center. There are also smaller recycling bins located throughout campus. Washburn has also worked to improve energy efficiency in various buildings around campus. Many of these changes come as a result of student voices wanting to make Washburn more environmentally responsive. Kellis Bayless is a professor

in the Washburn biology department and the faculty advisor for the Ecobods, a student organization dedicated to creating environmental awareness and responsibility on campus. “The Ecobods is a student organization that focuses on…any sort of environmentally friendly stuff. Recycling, energy efficiency, the pollution issues,“ said Bayless. While the group’s active focus varies from year to year, it does make use of Earth Week and other environmentally focused days of the year to educate students on how they can make changes in their daily lives to improve their environment. The easiest way, according to Bayless, is to be aware, take responsibility, and make use of the resources that are easily available. Bayless is also convinced that students have strong voices and more power than they think they do. If the administrators heard from students that environmental issues are important, they would be more likely to increase involvement and improvement. “America is much less polluted than it was…in the early ‘70s and that comes directly as a result from people being more conscious about what they are doing get involved, get active and don’t be afraid to share your ideas,” said Bayless.

Three years ago, Harry Briggs, now a senior communications major with a health emphasis, began working on Sight Ball, a golf ball aimed at helping golfers improve their aim. “The other goal is just to help golfers improve,” Briggs said after saying that he would like to see his product on all types of golf balls as another goal of his. “I feel like this is just a training aid that you can take from the putting green or the practice green onto the golf course.” The idea for Sight Ball came to Briggs about three years ago while he was working at Sycamore Golf Course in Spring Hill. He noticed that, while dozens of training aids were available, there were no training aids on the actual golf ball. From this initial realization, Briggs went on to spend the next three years developing Sight Ball, a golf ball that is dedicated to helping golfers improve their aim, stance, club positioning, and focus. After going through couple of prototypes, the final design
of Sight Ball has six sights on it. “You use it by choosing one sight to point at your hole. Once you set that one up, this sight will be pointing at your feet, which will help you get a good stance position. You can place your club right here, directly behind this sight…and up here is your
“He’s been a very big help to me,” Briggs said. Sight Ball, although geared towards beginners, can help any golfer improve their aim. “It’s a practice ball and those who practice with it…will gain a whole new perspective in aiming their ball,” said Briggs. Briggs can personally testify to this as he says that Sight Ball has helped him improve his aim. Although Sight Ball is still patent pending, people can order Sight Ball online through www.sightball.com. Once Briggs get the patent, he going to try to get it out to companies such as Titleist, Ping, and Callaway. He’s also been invited to the Kansas City Golf Show in February, where he hopes to show future investors his product. Briggs began golfing in middle school, but he says that golf runs in his blood. To illustrate this point, his cousin, T.J. Vogel, made his first Masters appearance last year. “It all comes from my mom’s side and I inherited my dad’s side of golf where you just…try to beat the crap out of it,” Briggs joked. “I’m working on it,” he added.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman visited campus on Wednesday , Sept. 17 to speak with students about the importance of getting involved with the democratic process. Orman is campaigning to unseat incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts.
Grace Foiles WASHBURN REVIEW
Last week, Independent Senate candidate Greg Orman paid a visit to campus to speak with students about state politics and the upcoming election. While Orman was at WU to campaign, he also discussed the importance of dismantling, what he considers a hyperpartisan system currently in place at the State House. As an independent, one of Orman’s biggest challenges stems from a deeply ingrained partisan attitude amongst voters. A longstanding ‘right vs. left’ mindset has, in his opinion, muddied the political playing field. “The most common criticism we hear from Republicans is ‘he’s just a Democrat.’ Democrats, on the other hand, tend to say ‘he’s just a Republican.’ I guess in this hyper-partisan environment, the prevailing thinking is that if a candidate isn’t from one’s own party, he/she must be from the other party,” said Orman in a statement posted on his campaign website. One of Orman’s main points in his speech to WU students involved campaign finance reform. “We purposely decided not to take PAC money, not to take special interest money in this race because we wanted to go to Washington beholden only
to the voters of Kansas,” said Orman. “We didn’t want to feel like we had any obligation to any special interest.” The lack of young adults who take part in local elections was another concern the candidate tried to drive home to his audience. “Young people vote about 40 percent of the time, while people over the age of thirty vote almost two- thirds of the time,” said Orman during his speech. “if you don’t vote, ultimately you’re going to find yourself in a position where you don’t have a say over our country’s policies and our country’s politics.” While Orman did welcome questions from the audience, who gathered in Henderson 100 to hear his lecture, he was hesitant to comment on his stance regarding many of the issues currently heating up the political landscape. Instead of commenting directly, the candidate suggested that the audience refer to his campaign website for answers. A native of Stanley, Kan., who now resides in Olathe, Orman is vying for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Pat Roberts. For more information on the candidate and his platform, visit www. ormanforsenate.com. Grace Foiles, grace.foiles@ washburn.edu, is an undeclared freshman.
There are 600 duties required of the Kansas secretary of state when they take on the role of a public representative. Many of these are purely administrative matters that can be divided into two main divisions. The first main division of duties is to help businesses by answering questions, helping them fill out reports and other functions that help keep the flow of business healthy in our state. The second main division is to be a fair and impartial elections officer for the state of Kansas. On Thursday, September 18, the Democratic candidate for Kansas Secretary of State, Jean Schodorf, visited Washburn University to address and inform the students and local community of the importance of the job and what she would bring to the position if she were elected. Schodorf has many new ideas and plans she would like to implement if she is elected to the office. “I have a three part plan. The first part of the plan is to ensure a full time secretary of state for Kansas,” said Schodorf. “The second part is to make a onestop shop for businesses as well as a goal to have 24-hour turn around for any questions and information these businesses or potential businesses might have.” Another part of Schodorf’s plan is to look into establishing a task force of business owners that would identify and address the needs of local and small businesses. “There should also be a program to educate businesses on identity theft and other online issues,” said Schodorf. “We also have to streamline voter registration laws so there aren’t this huge holes in the law that are preventing valid American citizens from exercising their right to vote.” According to Schodorf this

means much more of a hands on approach. “I want to work with the county clerks, which means going out in the state to visit and work and change the law for the better,” said Schodorf. The candidate emphasized the importance of making sure that Kansas has a clear elections process across the board. “Everything has to be for the state of Kansas because this is a full time job,” said Schodorf. “This job isn’t just a day job, it’s 24/7/365, and with the problems that are happening in the Secretary of State’s office now it’s just falling apart and it will take a lot to restore that office for the people.” Schodorf also spoke of her concerns with of the way the office is being handled by the current Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach. She addressed the controversies that have stirred to the surface dealing with the non-transparency of Kobach’s private practice as well as the situation surrounding the legality of Kobach’s refusal to allow democratic candidate Chad Taylor to withdraw his name from the ballot when he pulled out of the Senate race earlier this month. “There should be no personal agendas and one should recuse one’s self if there is a conflict,” said Schodorf. “Right
now everything is shadowy at the Secretary of State’s office. We don’t know where the secretary is, if he’s there, what state he’s in, who his client for his private practice are because he refuses to release any of that information. If you are elected as a public servant for the people of Kansas you are supposed to work for the people of Kansas and do the job you’re hired to do.” In addition to speaking to Washburn students during her visit, Schodorf also spent time in Memorial Union eating lunch with and directly engaging potential voters. The Wichita-based Democrat is running against current Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Schodorf is running on a platform based on state voting reform, increased identity protection and new opportunities for small businesses.

Donuts after dark Mark Feuerborn WASHBURN REVIEW
Generally speaking, 3 AM sounds like an unpleasant time to be at work. However, that is not the case for freshman history major Ben Albertson. Ben has had the interesting experience of having worked nights at a donut shop: Paradise Donuts. “It had just opened up by my house, I went and applied, and when I went and turned it in, the manager asked me if I would be interested in working nights. I needed a job, so I said I’ll take whatever I can get.” said Albertson. Ben described shifts that entailed coming into work at midnight, and staying until six in the morning. He was in charge of baking all of the donuts required to supply two different shops in Wichita.
“One big batch of dough would make about twelve dozen, and on a busy night we’d make up to eight batches of dough.” On average, he believes they made almost one thousand donuts. Weekends were generally the busiest nights of the week, and Wednesdays would also become very busy, at random. “It had a drive through, which was kind of a new thing, so people would use that on their way to work.” said Albertson. “I went back and visited, and they’ve hired a bunch of new people.” At the time, Ben would work with just two other people to make around one thousand donuts. His boss worked with him every night. Ben was what could be considered a “sculptor” of the dough. He would make the appropriate circle shape, run the dough through a machine to get the classic ring, and then send it to the fryer. Specialties like bear claws and long johns were a little bit more complicated. “You had to put extra ingredients in them, and they took a whole lot longer to make.” said Albertson. Ben was supposed to use every little bit of dough that he could. After running a regular donut through the machine to stamp out the ring, he would also immediately make donut holes.

“Whatever was left after making everything, you’d put it in a bucket and they’d use it to make sausage rolls, which was just sausage rolled up in donut dough and baked.” Albertson’s job also had a few perks he enjoyed. “Whenever there was a mess up - they called them a ‘blooper’ - whenever there were bloopers they were free, anyone could have them.” Ben’s favorite donut at Paradise Donuts was a blueberry cake donut with a crumble cake topping and glaze, which he often hoped he could get as a “blooper” while working his shifts. The pay was also nothing to complain about. “It was $8.50 an hour, so it paid pretty well; They paid the night people a lot nicer than the morning people.” said Albertson. After working a shift, Ben said he would come home around seven in the morning, and proceed to sleep through the morning and afternoon. “My parents were pretty understanding about it, I’d sleep until maybe 1 p.m. and then I’d get up and do whatever else I needed to do for the rest of the day, then stay up and go to work at night.” said Albertson. It took awhile for Ben to adjust to the sleep schedule Paradise Donuts gave him, and he had to adjust once again when coming to Washburn. Regardless, Ben’s experience at Paradise Donuts was a unique one, and he was happy with his time there.

Advice for Students Q: I’m having trouble getting along with my roommate. We used to be such great friends I don’t know what happened. Everything she does bothers me and I can’t stand being in the same room as her. Even the littlest mess of hers bothers me. I just feel like she has changed and I don’t want to live with her anymore. How do I keep myself from punching her in the face? A: Most people have that one roommate. You know the person you thought you wouldn’t have a single problem with because you were best friends and then out of the blue you hate
each other. The fact is, no matter how close you are people always change. When choosing a roommate you have to take into consideration more than the fact that you guys are best friends. You need to ask yourself is this person going to be respectful of me and my belongings, will they match my cleanliness expectations or will our personalities fit over a long period of time. Obviously your roommate didn’t meet the criteria. For me, I knew my current roommate would be the only one I wanted to room with because I knew she would respect me, which is the most important quality in a

roommate. You’re not going to get along every single second but at the end of the day if you have someone who can respect you and your belongings it makes it easier to live with them. Now that you know how to pick a better roommate next time, lets return to the issue at hand. If your roommate bothers you that much then you need to get into a different living situation as soon as you can, or as soon as your lease will allow. But if you can’t leave for a while try and make the best of it because there’s honestly not much you can do. Try and find things or hobbies to keep yourself preoccupied and away from your roommate. Whether that’s studying with classmates in the library, going to the SRWC, or picking up extra shifts at work utilize the excuse so it doesn’t feel like you are just not being
home. You could also actually try and talk to your roommate about how you feel and maybe fix things back to normal. Usually when the tiniest thing upsets you and doesn’t get resolved then everything will start bothering. Try and keep an open mind about the situation and be cautious of what you do. After all, she does have access to all your personal belongings. Be classy and respect her no matter. Best of wishes and hopefully you’ll be smarter when choosing your next roomie.

Is Topeka safe? Anyone who has tuned into the local news with any regularity lately has been exposed to a seemingly endless string of headlines spotlighting tragedy and tumult occurring in the Capital City. Accounts of senseless shootings, fatal auto accidents and other horrific acts of human atrocity appear to have become par for our local media’s course as of late. For newcomers to the area, it might seem like Topeka is more a crime-ridden cess pool than it is the prospering city of opportunity it’s being sold as by local leaders. While crime rates might be lower now than they were at the
turn of the century, recent incidents, and the massive amount of media attention they’ve garnered, only supports to the notion that the former is far more true than the latter. So is Topeka really that bad? If perception truly is reality, then an argument could be made that, yes, Topeka really is that bad. Is this just a case of the media sensationalizing tragedy for the sake of selling a story? Are we, as information consumers, overeating at a buffet of calamity? Perhaps we are, but the notion of an increasingly violent Topeka is not without merit. According to NeighborhoodScout.com, which tracks crime rates across
the country, Topeka is only safer than 5 percent of the cities in America and experiences almost twice the amount of violent crime as the rest of Kansas. These statistics are alarming to say the least, but also pale in comparison to nearby cities like Chicago and St. Louis. While there’s no easy answer to the current crime problem in Topeka, there’s also no reason to avoid the city streets altogether. And paranoia can only feed into the idea that Topeka is an unsafe place to live. As you head out for fall break, remember that caution and diligence are keys to survival and , most importantly, the good definitely outweighs the bad.

Annual family day at Washburn Gabriela Rodriguez WASHBURN REVIEW
Often times, as a family drops their child off at university, they are not completely aware of what their children will experience and be exposed to while on campus. However, Washburn University has developed a day to invite families of students to come and experience the learning and social environment that their children live in while on campus. Washburn held its annual Family Day Sept. 20, which was packed full of games, activities and events for all ages and gave parents and other family members the opportunity to get involved in their loved ones campus life. The day kicked off with
story reading and face painting in Mabee Library, followed by inflatables and carnival themed games on the lawn of the Union, a pre game tailgate and finally a home football game match up between the Washburn University Ichabods and the Pittsburg State Gorillas. Families came from near and far to enjoy all of the activities offered throughout the day, and spend quality time with the students. One student in particular who attended with her family was Washburn Law student Meredith Fry. Both of Fry’s parents are Washburn University Alumni, while Fry and her sister are currently enrolled on campus. Not only was Fry and her family there to enjoy the days activities,
they were also there to receive the honorable Family of the Year Award. “The game is my favorite part of Family Day,” said Fry. Fry also went on to explain that Family Day is a very beneficial to attend because it engages the family in the their child or loved ones place of study. Just as any event, Family Day would not be possible without the help of volunteers. Many of the Universities clubs and organizations came out to help with running the games, mingling with the guests, and making sure the event ran smoothly. Students lent their time and talents all throughout the day, and contributed to providing a fun and positive atmosphere for all of the families and guests on campus.
The Washburn University Golf Team was one of many groups that came out to volunteer. “Our coach told us to be here so we came, and we’re having a lot of fun,” said undeclared freshman Carter Berry. Berry and his teammate sophomore accounting and finance major Alex Green spent the day running one of the many bouncy houses, and supervising the children as the played. “I love seeing all of the kids and smiles on Family Day,” said Green. “It’s just a really good environment overall.” Whether young or old, Family Day at Washburn offered something for every age group to enjoy. It was a day dedicated to spending time with family, and allowing students to introduce their
family to their new friends, classes and life on campus. It serves to unite two important aspects of a students life, their family and their school, in order to ease transitions and make the university experience more enjoyable for all who are involved. Overall, Family Day 2014 had a respectable turn out. From the activities, to the football game and simply just being on campus, families were truly able to see what being an Ichabod is all about. All who attended were able to walk away with smiles and great memories to share in the future.

Washburn soccer ties with Hornets to break losing sreak
Anzhelika Tolstikhina Washburn Review
The Washburn soccer team returned to Topeka with improved results compared to the previous performances With many new players straight out of high school, the team made a lot of progress in all areas during their matches, especially in terms of preventing opponents from scoring. On Friday, Sept. 19 the Ichabods traveled to Emporia State University where they came out with a 1-1 standoff. Both the Hornets and the Ichabods fought into the heat of double overtime. Washburn broke its
four game losing streak by defending the attack of a strong opponent who has a total of three victories and only one loss to Winona State University. Despite the aggressive approach of Emporia State in the beginning of the match that led to the goal scored by Grace Linton on 15th minute as well as three corner kicks in the first three minutes after kickoff, Washburn responded in the 59th minute with a goal scored by Devon Schmitz who hit the cross bar after a pass from Sara Specht. The goal
was crucial in determining the outcome of a 110-minute game for the Ichabods. As in the past, the Bods showed a strong work ethic. Although Emporia State outshot Washburn 24-9, including a 7-3 advantage on goal shots and 9-1 corner kicks, the ball still couldn’t hit the net for the Hornets more than once. On Sunday Sept. 21, Washburn faced off against the University of Nebraska at Kearney. This time, though, the game ended in favor of the Lopers with the score 1-0. The Bods had

multiple chances to make a goal, especially in the second half getting eight shots, but could never hit one. The number on the scoreboard didn’t change until 61st minute when the game’s single goal was made by the Lopers’ freshman fielder Marika Van Brocklin. Washburn will return to action 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26 at home against Lindenwood. A n z h e l i k a Tolstikhina, anzhelika. tolstikhina@ washburn.edu, is a sophomore nursing major.

Washburn stormed by Pittsburg State, working to bounce back Adam Vlach
Washburn Review
The Ichabods (1-2) on Saturday were almost stormed out and for the first time since 1998, they were shut out. The Pittsburg State University Gorillas (3-0) dominated Washburn from the beginning, and despite a 75 minute storm delay, finished the game with a 42-0 victory. Washburn had previously never been shut out under head coach Craig Schurig. But the Ichabods are looking forward now. Running back and team captain Vershon Moore had some inspiring words regarding the team’s mentality. “What we (the captains) saw on game day, especially when we started getting down, was a lot of guys tend to get their heads down, or getting down on themselves. Basically what we told them is, you’ve got to find a reason to be out here first of all. If you don’t know that reason why you’re out here playing football, then you got to do something else.” Washburn plays at Missouri Southern
Saturday, Sept. 27. Washburn has not played them since 2011. Schurig said Missouri Southern runs a completely different offense than Pittsburg State. Pittsburg State on Saturday did most of its damage through the air, whereas Missouri State racked up over 300 yards on the ground this past weekend. This shift in defensive schemes is something that Schurig believes will help the team focus. Schurig also said that the crowd and student section has been very good this year. “We’ve had a great atmosphere here the first two games,” said Schurig. “We hope they keep coming back because we know we can play a lot better.”

Recreational effects of taking one hour to clear your mind Anzhelika Tolstikhina Washburn Review
A generation of high-speed information flow. Any piece of news today lives for about three hours. No matter what kind of information flies through the window -a big, world wide piece or a small family oneits existence has considerably reduced in its term. Squeezed to the size of a dot. Even five years ago a good piece of news walked all over the Internet for weeks. People could talk about the same topic for days, scanning it through different angles, dissecting the issue into pieces, squezing out new facts, discussing and arguing until burnt out. Now, even the sources that provoke the emotions to the highest degree die within a few hours, or the sharpest news that raises a lump in the throat dissapears within a day. This issue applies not only to the events covered by the media news, but also domestic situations. This issue reflects in almost every aspect of our lifes whether it comes down to understanding the topic in class or taking time to research about a proper exercise technique. Perhaps the biggest promotion that Washburn University
continuously tries to ingrain in students is the development of critical thinking skills. But many of us are still caught up in high school mentality when the goal is to sit through the day without getting in trouble or getting bad grades. Unfortunately, when professors repeatedly explain the importance of taking time to question every bit of incoming information and the intention for every action, many students let the advice run past their ears as long as they won’t get tested on a particular topic. As a result, we blindly believe the tittle-tattles and the mass media news, even though it is not a surprise that in both cases the information is greatly amplified to make a profit through destabilizing public emotions. Because students do not want to exhaust themselves by going to tutors or communicating with teachers, they often settle with grades that do not reflect their potential, but definitely reflect the lack of effort. What happened to us? Was it that we became callous or superficial? Or both? How come we cry for a little bit at the sight of body parts scattered across the field of wreckage, but never grieve for a long time afterward? Why even 10 years ago was it theat murder could plunge the whole
country into mourning for the entire week and now death is a fact which we carry on without much thought upon hearing about? Even when it comes down to domestic news, it’s the same. Is there something wrong with us? Honestly, there is nothing wrong with us. But being around too many events, there is too much information required for each individual to stay on top of. The endless stream of news does not let people hang on to a particular piece for a long time, let alone that in 21st century an average American student is expected to take at least four classes per semester, excel in all of them, work, be involved in extracurricular activities, deal with roommates, and wash dishes. We simply do not have time to reflect on anything, do not have time to think, understand, and perhaps, to forgive. Everything is very, very fast. Events follow each other with incredible speed, and we- people of the Information Age - are required to be about each of them. Our brains just do not have time to process everything and in the end, people begin to percieve reality as not meaningful, but fragmentary. A hundred years ago, postcards traveled across the state for a week, and now it takes a second. Most people
died without ever seeing a murdered body because they did not own TVs and the Internet did not exist either. In contrast, now days, we are used to seeing crushed skulls and riddled bellies. We have seen all of that, and even more. Certainly, anyone can chop off an Internet wire, throw the TV away and become an ousider of modern society. But most of us are not willing to carry such a burden and in my opinion, a pointless one too. One of the logical solutions is to take at least an hour to exercise every day, whether it is a walk outside, swimming or weightlifting. The choice depends on one’s preference. Long line of e-mails or the pressure coming from all the expectations that society puts on us can hit like a rockfall creating a feeling of helplessness. Although the strongest of people have managed to survive under such conditions, it is very important to understand that humans are not robots and our systems eventually shut down. Escaping for a little bit, changing locations and clearing out the thoughts play a role in recharging an individual with new energy. For people who do not associate the trip to the gym or workout in general with anything but a painful kind of event, not
even speaking about pleasure, simply can choose the activity that sounds enjoyable. In this situation the goal is not to add more responsibilities on our shoulders but create a recreational time. It is important to understand that the activity should be recharging rather than exchausting. In the end, how increadible is it to realize what a big difference a simple one hour walk or a yoga session can make in terms of interrupting the speed that the Information Age has created for our generation, if you think about it? Just one hour can drop your stress levels while increasing the ability to cope with a demending lifestyle of the 21st century.

A blog by Katie Wade
When What You Do for Fun Isn’t Fun Anymore: If you have spoken to me within the last week, you know that I am going through a major period of burnout. I’m feeling zero creativity and zero productivity. I even made a little YouTube video about this in recent days. Ah, burnout. It’s something we will all face and struggle with at some point. How did you decide on a
major? Probably because it was something you were good at and enjoyed and thought you could do forever. My thing is writing. I’ve been writing little stories since I was a kid, but I didn’t decide it was what I wanted to do with my life until just a couple of years ago. I love it. So much. I get a tremendous high off of completing projects and then getting them published. I’m driven by the overwhelming sense of accomplishment I get from finishing a piece. And… honestly, I don’t know if this is straight up pride or just healthy motivation…but when people tell me that they like my writing, I want to write more. It feels good. It feels right. I enjoy it. And I don’t want to stop. Now I’m at a point where I’m not just writing for fun. I am majoring in both history and mass media, so all of my major homework is assigned writing. I’m also taking a foreign language this year…so more
writing. On top of that, I write for and maintain this blog for the Washburn Review. Yay. Writing. So. I’m just feeling burnt out. My creativity is at an all-time low and it’s not even October. I’m worried. I catch myself wondering how I am going to keep this up. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to stop. I really love what I do. I’m not rethinking my dreams or anything. But I’m at a point where there is so much happening… It feels like all of these words are being ripped from my mouth and there are none left for me to say for myself. It’s exhausting. So what do you do when the thing you do for fun isn’t fun anymore? What do you do when it starts to feel more like a chore? How do you get your spark back for the thing that burns you out? I usually need to take some time to refocus my energy. I have to take a break from the thing and

pursue something else creatively for a little while. Fall break is coming up this weekend and it is just what I have been needing. So, maybe I’ll focus on videos or practice my photography skills. Maybe I’ll finally get started on my ‘To Be Read’ book pile. Or…maybe I’ll just buy a new coloring book. However I choose to spend the break, I am excited to come back refueled with energy and creativity for the thing I love to

Original student-written play performed at Washburn Theatre stage Cindy Rose
WASHBURN REVIEW
“Open Book: Three original plays to wrap your mind around,” was staged on September 19 through 21 in the Andrew J. and Georgia Neese Gray Theatre at the Garvey Fine Arts Center. It debuted three original plays by Washburn University student writers. The actors played to the audience with “book–in-hand.” “The blocking and set were suggested but kept to a minimum,” said Associate professor and director of the plays, Penelope Weiner. “The rehearsals began three weeks ago.” Surprisingly natural and not awkward to watch, the scripts did not get in the way as the plots played out. The plays were intelligent, impressive and imaginative. All three plays lasted a total of ninety minutes. Weiner teaches playwriting class at Washburn and said
she loves the things young people create. “I chose what came out of that class that I’d like to see staged. They felt close to ready.” Weiner, who writes plays herself, said “I love working on new plays and helping [playwrights] communicate with new young actors on new work. I love the surprises,” said Weiner, “That’s what I love about my job. It’s always different.” Weiner urges students to take playwriting class to find the natural writer in themselves. She feels most students will find their inner playwright and be surprised. The first play, “Petrol,” was written by Cal Phoenix, a senior English major, who has never before had a play staged. “The girls did a pretty good job,” said Phoenix of the actors. “It’s hard to fake a pretty good job and do those British accents. It’s been fun and a nice little experience. The actors did a good job.”
Phoenix wrote the play two years ago and feels it doesn’t represent her now as a playwright. The play is about two girls waiting in a London Underground station after

anything would come of the play at all. It was a bad little story, so I’m glad I was able to re-appropriate it into a play.” The Third play, “Choices,”

Ilias releases other worldly album from down under Patrick Barry
WASHBURN REVIEW
First impressions matter, especially when you are not familiar with an artist. My first time hearing Ilias’s work was over a cup of coffee one morning. As the first track played I found myself sliding further into a state of relaxation. He had my attention. Ilias is an AlgerianAustralian producer, composer, and multiinstrumentalist based out of Sydney. He plays everything but the string arrangements on his new album, “All the Way Up”. The album is currently available on iTunes. “All the Way Up” is a personal journal set to music. The concept is both simple and respectable. There is no missing the sincerity and personal connection to the music. The album is about a woman, a subject with which many of us could relate. The lyrics are well written

All the Way Up: Algerian-Australian composer, producer and musician, Ilias released a new album titled “All the Way Up.” Ilias composed and performed everything on the album except the string arrangements. in an honest and direct “Someone Like You”, he style. In the opening track, sings, “you said take it slow
and we’ll see where we go/ so I did what I do, and I lost you.” It’s sincere and helps maintain the feel of a personal journal. The album has a great ambiance. Some of the tracks that are purely instrumental create a feeling of weightlessness. The songs let my thoughts drift away, but not to the point of leaving the lyrics behind. From start to finish the album flows nicely with a few shifts that fit the album like a well-written bridge to an individual song. It’s the best album I have acquired from that part of the world since Neil Finn’s “Dizzy Heights”. I was most impressed by his musical talents. He doesn’t simply know how to play his guitar; he knows his guitar as one would know an intimate partner. You can especially hear it during the parts without lyrics. He is one with his instrument. It’s refreshing to
hear a musician that obviously appreciates their instrument in an age where the vast majority of the new material you hear is so synthetic or reliant on samples. The album as a composition does a magnificent job balancing moods. I would describe it as an amalgam of blue and red vibes that blend like a sunset. Its pretty to listen to and effectively conjures emotional states that are both melancholic and hopeful. I was impressed by the album and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates music as an art and not just as fodder to fill the popular American radio frequencies. I am eager to hear more from the artist in the future, I feel that his work merits an audience. Patrick Barry, patrick.barry@ washburn.edu, is a senior anthropology major.
