Making a new course: A Washburn exclusive

Washburn Review charles.rankin@washburn.edu

Teaching with TV: The Netflix documentary, ‘Making a Murderer’ is being used as a veritable fountain of examples for how complicated the world of criminal justice can become. The series will be used as an outline for the class.

Whitney Clum Washburn Review whitney.clum@washburn.edu

Students everywhere, rejoice. Instead of a book, the required material for one of the summer Criminal Justice course is a Netflix subscription.

Starting July 2, Controversial Issues in Criminal Justice will go over issues presented in the Netflix documentary “Making a Murderer” that plague the criminal justice system over a period of five weeks. These issues include subjects such as wrongful convictions, the CSI effect, forensic evidence on trial, different roles in the courtroom, and new complications in criminal justice caused by the media and technology.

“When I first started here, we were encouraged to find for our summer classes these innovative type courses, and there’s always things that come up in class that I want to cover…But if you design a class like this one, like the controversial issues class, you can spend a lot more time digging deeper into the subject matter,” said professor Melanie Worsley, who created the course.

“Within Criminal Justice, there’s always kind of these hot topic issues to talk about, so it gives me a chance to really explore those types of issues.”

“Making a Murderer” encompasses many of the issues in the criminal justice system that make headlines in the news. It follows the story of Steve Avery, a man charged with attempted murder and sexual assault and spent 18 years in prison before being exonerated with DNA evidence.

He ended up racking up another murder charge a few years later, while his civil suit against the county for wrongful imprisonment was still

pending. The true story incorporates many of the elements that will be discussed in the class, and since aspects of his case are still active, the discussion around the case could change as the class progresses.

During the class, students will be able to see examples of nebulous situations that have been discussed in previous classes and explore them in a real-life case with real-life wrenches thrown into the circumstances that surrounded Avery’s case.

“I’ve been able to incorporate a lot of the forensic investigations type things into the class from the role defense attorneys and prosecutors play in discussing forensic evidence to the use of forensic evidence at trial,” said Worsley.

The class will connect with other courses taught in the criminal justice department and beyond so students from other disciplines can have more exposure to the justice system, how forensic evidence works and how some of these issues can have an effect on our culture as a whole.

“I think there’s a lot of controversial issues occurring with a lot of cases today. It’ll be interesting to see those type of topics be addressed,” said sophomore physical therapy assistant major Jesse Renfro. “It sounds a like a very interesting class.

I’d be very interested in taking it.”

Since the class is taught as a summer elective course, it is allowed to have more of an innovative topic, pulling together bits and pieces of information taught during the school year and placing it within the context of an ongoing case. Ultimately, it helps teach students how to take information they learned in class and apply it to the real world.

Farleys host internet security-themed roundtable dinner Andrew Shermoen Washburn Review andrew.shermoen@washburn.edu

A number of students from different backgrounds, both culturally and scholastically, gathered at the President’s home Feb. fifteenth to enjoy an evening with Jerry and Susan Farley along with special guest speaker, Jim Tagliareni, Chief Information Officer of Washburn.

Tagliareni opened up the floor of the round table by asking students if they realize the things we do everyday online that can put our privacy at risk. Privacy can be breached not only by people who wish to steal information and use it for their own gain, but also by individuals revealing their own personal details openly for people to access.

“We willingly give up data as much as data is being taken away,” Tagliareni said. “One in four social media users have posted personal info of a sensitive nature online.”

Tagliareni also spoke about how online crime that calls for the trading of data is much more profitable than the standard crime that may be seen in typical robberies or thefts. After giving his introduction into the topic of how to make sure the internet

is being used as a safe and healthy space, Tagliareni posed several questions to the group to address once they split up into smaller groups for dinner and discussion.

Students proceeded to get plates of lasagna and began to answer the questions that Tagliareni presented to them.

In one group, he conducted a discussion with President Farley and brought up how he himself had experienced two breaches in online security.

Farley specifically mentioned how even if you take precautions after a breach, there can still be risk.

“Even if you delete your account and cut up your card, the info is still out there,” President Farley said.

Zac Surritt, junior public administration major, brought up that when it comes to finding ways to defend ourselves, we need to be aware of the context of each situation.

“It depends on a case by case basis,” Surritt said. “If someone gives away a small bit of info, it may not seem huge, but [it] can be used to access other, more sensitive information.”

After the discussion finished within the smaller groups, a large group discussion led

by Tagliareni took place.

Campus united: The Washburn attendants of last week’s Farley Roundtable was a diverse set of students academically.

Students with biology, education, social work and business majors attended the dinner and discussion, and while they started out not agreeing on certain subjects, they did find a consensus by the end of the evening and all gladly posed for a group photo.

Students conversed and came to a consensus about many facets of internet security. Specific discussion around the topic of the security debate surrounding the San Bernardino shooter of last year came up as students evaluated the ethics of a company providing a government organization with a backdoor into a cellphone.

“The minute that you set into case law that a phone must be unlocked in extreme situations, then it opens it up to misuse,” Jayson Quicksall, junior biology major, said.

“Then what constitutes an

extreme situation?”

Quicksall also questioned if providing access to a phone is given then what are we providing access to?

“What kind of things are we giving up,” Quicksall asked. “Facebook, email, everything?”

Despite their different opinions on certain matters, the students agreed with Tagliareni that the best way to help people secure their privacy online is to provide them with proper education.

A few students came up with the term “Home ec for the future.”

At the end of the evening, Tagliareni asked students if, despite all of the negative and frightening discussions they’d had about the internet, these technologies had provided any positives.

Students enthusiastically began to discuss advances in communication, medicine, vehicle assistance, finance and information gathering.

The evening may have been focused on discussing on how the internet can be dangerous, but one thing is for sure, the students agreed it is also a powerful, useful and positive tool.

WSGA moves to shorten campaign time at Feb. 14 meeting Charles Rankin Washburn Review charles.rankin@washburn.edu

WSGA passed an amendment to its bylaws related to the length of its campaign process during its weekly meeting Feb. 14.

The meeting was headed

by WSGA President Alexis Simmons as Vice President Scott Weinkauf, who usually

runs the meeting, was not present due to an illness.

The amendment will reduce the length of campaigns for the yearly WSGA election from four to three weeks. The amendment was proposed to be more in line with other Kansas universities, who all have election cycles shorter than four weeks and to lessen the burden of candidates who are

running.

The amendment will not affect campaign materials, such as flyers, posters and buttons, which can still be produced in the four week time frame prior to voting.

These materials will not be distributed until three weeks before the election.

Senators Bayley Baker, Paul Mismaque and Adam Thew were appointed to the

student election board, who will oversee the election and campaigning process.

The senate also allocated funding for six student organizations. Club Mathematica was allotted $300 for food at its upcoming math lectures, French Club was allotted $760 for a trip to the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, the Philosophy Club was allotted

$1050 for food at its meetings and T-shirts, PTKAW was allocated $900 to send three students to attend a convention and the Student Development Grant was allocated $900 to send three students to a conference.

Born of stress, built for catharsis Yash Chitrakar Washburn Review yash.chitrakar@washburn.edu

Of all the incredible capabilities the mind has, its most interesting is perhaps its ability to hold many contradictory thoughts seemingly simultaneously.

This facet of the mind, however, can lead to a stressful existence, which can be at times overwhelming.

“Overwhelmed” is the title of Jenna Reed’s favorite painting in her art exhibition titled “Coping.” The exhibition runs from Feb. 19 to Feb. 23 at the John R. Adams gallery in the art building. It features portraits and paintings that capture the complexity of themes like anxiety, stress and Reed’s coping mechanisms.

“Overwhelmed,” for example, is a self-portrait in which her face is covered, almost suffocated, by three sets of hands. The hands truly overwhelm the face desperately tries to reach for escape.

The exhibition is divided into two halves, to mimic the bifurcation that the brain goes through when under stress-that nagging feeling of apathy and the pull from the stressors. The right side comprises realistic self-portraits that showcase Reed’s coping mechanisms while the left sees a lot of abstract work, representing her breaking away or letting loose.

The two sides are brought together by a mixed media

sculpture, a work made of crisscrossed strings gradually unraveling into a clearer, less busy pattern, in the middle.

The work is called “Thought Process” and was made in collaboration with Sam Veal.

The right side has interesting installations like “Desperate” that show three figures representing herself looking, as the title suggests, desperate. The three figures are partly superimposed, one facing right, one away from the viewer, and one upwards, which give a sense of the passage of time where one loses focus of the present and time seems to meld together.

The left starts off with a completely abstract oil painting called “Less Control,” which comprises a melange of lines and triangles, all following the color scheme of the exhibition: pink, red and brown. Reed used a palette knife to create this painting and plans to keep using it in the future for its expressive nature.

“The palette knife forces you to be more expressive, which [is] the direction I want to head in,” Reed said.

Since Reed is a senior art education major, she also incorporated education as part of this exhibition. Most of the artwork on display have QR codes which, if scanned, will direct audiences to YouTube videos that detail the work process for that particular work.

Photos by Kraig Dafoe

Proud artist: Jenna Reed stands in front of her favorite painting in the exhibition, titled “Overwhelmed.” Reed’s work will continue to be displayed in the art building until Feb. 23.

Reed is an organized person out of necessity and said it has almost become a habit.

She has to stay organized to minimize stress. For her, art is one of the avenues to release that stress.

“If I had to do something I know, what is there that I know better than myself ?” Reed said.

This exhibition was born of stress, but it surely seems to have released Reed of some of the stresses and given her a sense of catharsis, as so much of art intends to do.

From 7 p.m.-9 p.m on Thursday, Feb 22, at the Art Building, Jenna Reed will be holding a reception.

4 Opinion February 21, 2018

Editorial: AR-15 giveaway is not a discussion The Facebook page for Tyler Tannahill for Congress announced Feb. 13, “As an avid sportsman, I’m excited to announce our first AR-15 Giveaway.”

One day later, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida would lose 17 students to a shooting, done with the same type of gun that Tannahill was raffling off. Tannahill, a candidate for Kansas’ 2nd Congressional District, defended the decision to continue the raffle and told CNN that his campaign considered ending the giveaway but ultimately

decided not to.

“We have to sit down and have these tough discussions,” Tannahill said in the interview.

“I’m a staunch believer in the Second Amendment, and I don’t think those rights should be infringed, but how do we keep our children and teachers safe in schools?”

On the day of the Douglas High shooting, Tannahill posted a link on Facebook to FASTER, a nonprofit program by the Buckeyes Firearm Foundation, that according to the website, “gives teachers and students violence response training,” in the event of a

shooting threat.

Yet another guest in the CNN segment, Virginia-based conservative talk show radio host John Fredericks disagreed with Tannahill’s form of discussion. Fredricks said the giveaway was “in really bad taste.”

“Come on man. It doesn’t make any sense. You’re not having a legitimate conversation when you’re giving an AR-15 for free,” Fredricks said.

Tannahill’s excuse’s of rights and “violence response training” is the continued pathetic response of legislators

who are ever too careful to not indict the very people who put the money into their campaigns.

Saying #NeverAgain, a hashtag used in conjuncture with the Douglas shooting, means supporting Congressional candidates and leaders who are willing to enact legislation to counter the threat that assault rifles pose.

A quick Google search will give you lists of members of both the House and Senate who are currently receiving donations from the NRA. A bit more research will lead you to their messages about

the Las Vegas massacre, with statements on “thoughts and prayers,” and support for the victims in the attack.

There is a time for thoughts and prayers, but it is time to act and implement legislation that does a better job of stopping these types of events.

With midterms coming up, it is imperative that we as voters inform ourselves about what candidates believe, what groups they are funded by and what legislation they are pushing. Never should Tannahill’s insensitive form of “discussion” be the norm of our Congress members.

Letter to the Editor: Students take advantage of church parking University UMC (United Methodist Church) is happy to provide parking spaces to Washburn students, however some parking spaces are marked Reserved for Church Business, the Admin. Asst., and Pastor. Every day students are parking in the reserved spaces and even the disabled spaces without having a disabled plate or placard.

When students park in the reserved spaces, there is no parking when people come here for church business to park. We have been placing a notice asking students not to park in the reserved spaces. Some students pay no attention to the notice and continue to park in the

reserved spaces.

We are now writing down the license plate number of the cars illegally parked. After the owner has been issued one notice, and parks in a reserved space, they will receive a final notice. If they are parked in a reserved space a third time, we will have the car towed at the owner’s expense.

While we do not wish to have cars towed, we can not continue to have students park in the reserved spaces. Please respect the church’s reserved spaces and do not park in them. Please do not leave your vehicle over night.

There are occasions where the lot will be closed to students. Twice a year when

we have the Thrift Sales, when there is a funeral and other

“Every day students are parking in the reserved spaces and even the disabled spaces without having a disabled plate or placard.”

-Stacey Cooper special occasions. The lot is roped off the evening before the event at 9:00 p.m. so please

be out of the lot by 9. When we know in advance of the lot being closed, we will put notices on the vehicles.

Also, would you respect the parking lot and not throw trash form your vehicle. The trash makes to parking lot look bad and church staff must clean it up.

If we continue to have these problems we will have to shut the lot down for Washburn students to park here. We want to avoid shutting down the lot, so please do not park in reserved spaces and keep the lot clean.

Thank you.

As the men’s basketball team finished up the final part of their regular season, they struggled to put away some MIAA opponents. Their first matchup saw them facing off against Emporia State Feb. 13.

Washburn started off with a close contest that lasted throughout the entire game. In the first half, the Ichabods were only behind the Hornets by two points with a first half score of 27-29.

The leading Ichabods at halftime were senior, Cameron Wiggins with nine points, senior, Brady Skeens with four matching junior, Javion Blake’s four as they heading into the close matchup that ensued in the second half.

The second half was were the Ichabods battled it out with the Hornets to try and end up with a win after a heartbreaking loss to Northwest Missouri State the previous week.

“We came out lackadaisical, we felt like we took the foot off the gas, we were ahead early and we just could not pull it off,” senior, Tyas Martin said.

The next game for the Ichabods was against Southwest Baptist University Feb. 17 as the Ichabods were looking to rebound from their most recent losses.

The Ichabods started the first half with a score of 38-41, trailing the Bearcats by three at halftime. The leading scorers for the Ichabods in the first half were Skeens with 14, along with

Wiggins’ nine and Blake’s five.

The leading scorers in this contest were Skeens with 32, Martin with 17 and Wiggins with 22.

“We kind of took the foot off the gas these last two games, but hopefully we can prepare for these road games ahead as we get closer to Kansas City,” Blake said.

Up next for the Ichabods is a matchup against the University of Central Oklahoma. The Ichabods face off against the Bronchos at 7:30 p.m, Feb. 22 in Hamilton Field House.

Washburn looks to finish on a high note as their regular season concludes.

“He came back and won in straight sets,” Hunter said.

“That was good mentally for him, because it was a tough situation to be in with everyone watching.”

Hunter played a solid singles match, taking a win in the No. 2 spot at 6-3, 6-0. Haase defeated Ottawa’s No. 3 player 6-0, 6-2. Eidenmueller, Brill and Dicu also defeated their competitors in straight sets.

The men now hold a team

record of 3-1 and are looking for a successful rest of the season.

“We’re on the right track,” Hunter said. “We lost our first match of the season, but I think it was a good stepping stone to pick it up later.”

The women also finished 9-0 over Ottawa with sophomore, Logan Morrissey and junior, Alexis Czapinski winning the No. 1 doubles spot 8-1.

and start playing conference matches, we’ll get a whole lot better.”

The Ichabods have no plans to slow down as they progress through the season.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how well we end up doing. Even in each match, it’s always so fun,” Gonzales said.

Up next, the men will face McPherson College at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23. Women will tackle Tabor College at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 24 at the Topeka Country Club. Washburn looks to add on to impressive wins against Ottawa University.

Opinion: Business and Technical Writing should replace EN 300 I understand the concept of being a well-rounded student. I believe that the purpose of taking general education requirements is to expose students to relevant information and to make sure we leave college with some concept of how the world works. It makes sense.

What I don’t understand is forcing students to take two semesters of composition. To me, Advanced Composition felt like an extension of Freshman Composition. I didn’t feel as though I learned

anything particularly new.

There is a class, however, that has the potential to help students after they graduate and are released into the career force. This class is Business and Technical Writing, and it should replace Advanced Composition.

What was the most memorable general education class you’ve taken at Washburn?

the basics of correspondence in the workplace. Mary Sheldon, the professor, is a professional who many businesses have called in for help when they are faced with barriers due to employees being unable to effectively communicate with consumers.

Sheldon emphasizes the importance of using positive language when trying to get results, whether that be from co-workers, a boss or a client.

Throughout the semester, students also get help creating resumes and cover letters.

The class is centered around preparing students for the professional world.

Learning to write a research paper is a valuable skill, but not necessarily a skill that needs to be taught for two semesters. Of course students majoring in psychology or biology, who are performing research of their own, should need an in depth look at writing a research paper. The rest of us, however, need to be ready for the real world.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your soft-hearted self is drawn to a tempting offer. But your hard-headed half isn’t so sure. Best advice: Do it only after every detail is checked out to your liking.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your inventive mind should help you find a way to get around an apparently impassable barrier and make yourself heard. Your efforts get you noticed by the right people.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re enjoying this creative period. But by midweek, you’ll need to emphasize your more pragmatic talents as you consider a risky but potentially lucrative move.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An unexpected rejection could turn into something positive if you pocket your pride and ask for advice on how you can make changes that will make the difference.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Lion’s heart gives you the courage to push for answers to a job-related situation. Stay with it. You’ll soon find more believers coming out the ranks of the doubters.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your curiosity pays off this week as you push past the gossip to find the facts. What you ultimately discover could lead you to make some changes in your plans.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A new sense of enthusiasm helps get you out of on-the-job doldrums and back into a productive phase.

Family matters also benefit from your more positive attitude.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A bit of nostalgia is fine. But don’t stay back in the past too long or you might miss seeing the signpost up ahead pointing the way to a new opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) If you feel you need to take more time to study a situation before making a decision, do so. Don’t let anyone push you into acting until you’re ready.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) As the Great Advice Giver, the Goat really shines this week as family and friends seek your wisdom. Someone especially close to you might make a surprising request.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Spiritual concerns dominate part of the week before more worldly matters demand your attention. An old promise resurfaces with some surprises attached.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’re in a highly productive period and are eager to finish all the projects you’ve taken on. But don’t let yourself get swamped. Take a breather now and again.

Taking out the trash: A new trash compactor and recycling compactor can now be found on Washburn’s campus. This recycling compactor was placed behind the Union.

Talking trash: WU innovations Julia Eilert Washburn Review julia.eilert@washburn.edu

Everyone remembers that scene where Sulley thought Boo was crushed by a trash compactor, right? While shuddering at that might be the appropriate reaction, compacting has greatly benefited Washburn’s facilities so far this year.

“We went to a new compacting system in order to reduce the amount of dumpsters on campus,” said Associate Director of Facilities Services Eric Moss. “The university produces waste, and the containers that the waste goes in are not very pretty to look at.”

Washburn installed trash and recycling compactors in November and they have been running well since.

“It makes the campus look better,” said Moss.

“It’s pretty convenient for the staff too. They have a key, they open the chute, put the items in there, close the door, and push the button.”

Lights come on when the compactors are seventy-five percent full, letting workers know it’s time to empty it.

There has been a minor problem with the lights not coming on, but it hasn’t been a huge issue.

“We used to collect things separately out in the bins in the parking lots- for cardboard and paper and mixed paper,” said Energy and Sustainability Manager, Kristine Hicks.

“What we’ve done now is

in general, as Hicks brought up in the new China’s Green Sword, a ban on some post consumable plastics.

With China’s Green Sword, the issue is the that there is now a ban on exporting contaminated recyclable material. This means that any materials with food, liquids, plastic foam, plastic bags and a variety of other contaminants can be rejected for the recycling process.

This poses problems with Washburn’s singlestream recycling, as an entire bin can be rejected for a single contaminate.

“That’s the challenge we have on campus that students could really help with,” said Hicks. “To learn a little bit more about how to keep the recycling stream clean, free of contaminants.”

Moss agrees that there are a few simple things students can do.

“If recycling materials go in the recycling container, and trash goes in the trash container, then that keeps our streams separate,” said Moss. “So, to me, that’s the best thing that students can do, or that’s a good starting place.”

“That’s the challenge we have on campus that students could really help with. To learn a little bit more about how to keep the recycling stream clean, free of contaminants.”

- Kristine Hicks combine them into one stream.”

The compactors are doing great, but one thing that could use some work is the way recycling is done on campus

The Hello, I am Adam Thew, a sophomore here at Washburn and a senator for WSGA. I firmly believe that a key element of any organization working to its full potential is the idea of meritocracy.

This includes universities as well. One reason I became a senator was to learn more about what policies were currently in place, what views policies reflect, and how well they serve the students of Washburn. While meritocracy is typically used in the context of

Post

individual achievement, an ideal I hold as well, it can also be used to gauge current and future policy decisions.

The reasoning behind why I support this view for our university is that for an organization the outcome of its actions is what matters. An action can be done with the best of intentions, but if it has no tangible results then that action was meaningless to those the organization exists to serve. Without results the group is not serving its members, and is in

consequence failing its only real obligation.

Since the results are what ultimately determines the merit of student government policy, the most effective way to create policy is to have the results students want as the starting point. To focus on this, I encourage students with concerns on campus to talk to senators or consider running for student government themselves.

A handmade tale: Zines come in a variety of sizes and topics, as evidenced by this diverse collection found in the Colorado College Tutt Library. Attendees of the workshop will be able to use ideas like these to create their own zine templates.

Upcoming zine workshop helps to promote social justice at Washburn Charles Rankin Washburn Review charles.rankin@washburn.edu

Achieving social justice might seem like a daunting task, but one faculty member at Washburn is hoping to help students take a step in the right direction by creating something real and tangible.

Dennis Etzel, English lecturer, is leading a zine workshop 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Feb. 22 in the Art Lab at the Mulvane Art Museum.

Students who attend will have the opportunity to begin work on their own zine, and to give voice to a social justice cause they care about.

According to Etzel, “zine” is a slang term for a homemade magazine. He said that this is a beneficial format to use to help pursue social justice.

“They are an inexpensive way to get one’s message out,” Etzel said. “It’s quite a trend now.”

Etzel’s inspiration was a similar project at the University of Central Arkansas and he is using the same template. The project’s website gives a broad example of what a zine can be.

“Zines can be comics, stories, recipes, drawings, poetry, essays, interviews, diary entries, or anything else

you can imagine,” the site says. “Zines are reproduced inexpensively (typically photocopied) and shared to help raise awareness to a cause or simply to shed light on important issues of the times.”

Etzel is hoping that everyone attending will be able to leave with a template for a zine, as well as other zines.

“In this case, it [will be] made with one sheet of paper making eight pages,” Etzel said.

This isn’t the first time Etzel has used literature and art to help with social justice causes and it is not planned to be his last. He serves as the faculty advisor for Hope Through Headphones, an organization that uses music to help promote mental health.

Later this semester, Etzel will be working with Jericho Hockett, assistant professor of psychology, to edit a book of poems speaking out against serial assault, which will be released in April.

Etzel is excited for the zine project and is hopeful it will be beneficial to the community.

“I hope [they] can come to see a kind of DIY way to create a book that holds the power of a voice for social activism,” Etzel said.

“They are an inexpensive way to get one’s message out.

It’s quite a trend now.”

Homepod, I for incomplete

Matt Boland

Apple enters the highly competitive race of smart home speakers with its new HomePod, but trips and falls on its face inches from the finish line.

Apple’s $350 HomePod is the most narcissistic product Apple has ever made. For starters, if you own an Android phone you can stop reading this review now. Don’t buy the HomePod, it isn’t for you. The HomePod only works if you have an iPhone.

Have an iPhone but subscribe to Spotify? Don’t bother, the HomePod only works with an Apple Music subscription.

Have smart home devices that aren’t compatible with Apple’s HomeKit? Well the HomePod will simply pretend those devices don’t exist, sorry Nest users.

Now if you are one of those people who are an Apple loyalist and are still considering purchasing the HomePod, I’ll break down my first week with it.

The first thing you will notice is the sound of the speaker. This is hands down the best sounding smart speaker I’ve heard. The HomePod packs a punch.

Everything sounds crisp and clean and it sounds good anywhere you set it. This is because the HomePod uses six built in mics to sense where it’s at in room. It can detect walls and directs the sound away from the wall. And if you move the device it’s fine because the HomePod knows it’s been moved and does the same process again so the user always has the best sound quality.

So the speaker of the HomePod sounds great, and it should, but the “smart” aspect of this smart speaker is its weakest component. Siri just can’t do what Alexa and Google Assistant can. Siri on the HomePod can do basic things you would expect from a smart speaker, like play music, give you the weather, turn on and off lights but it’s also very limited. Siri can’t make calls from the HomePod, it can’t give you recipes and can’t even set more than one timer at once.

Another glaring issue is that the HomePod can’t differentiate between voices, so anyone can tell the home pod to send a text from your phone and it will do it without hesitation. You can turn off this feature so no one can send texts from the HomePod, but disabling a useful feature seems counterintuitive especially when your product is already lacking features.

At this point, I wouldn’t recommend the HomePod to anyone, even die hard Apple fans. The HomePod just feels incomplete, there are too many features that are missing to justify that price tag. Now, could the HomePod get better?

Yes, and it should if it wants to compete. The hardware is fine, the speaker is great, Apple just needs to work on the software and hopefully with software updates the HomePod will be worth revisiting.

The Apple Homepod can be purchased at several techbased retailers for $349.99. It cannot however be purchased through Amazon.

Venmo or a variety of gift cards.

This app is simple to use, and it has a surprisingly large range of retailers it can work with. From Walmart to Joann, there’s nearly an endless amount of stores it applies to. It is also convenient that it works with apps, rather than just online stores. The GPS does run in the background, so if you’re not aware of this it can drain your battery, but a quick trip to the settings can fix this. Ibotta is worth checking out, especially if you’re buying your own groceries.

Deepfakes strip dignity Andrew Shermoen

Washburn Review andrew.shermoen@washburn.edu

A new artificial intelligence program allows people to digitally impose another person’s face onto someone else in a video. The way it is being used could lead to disaster.

This AI faceswapping technology has been available to the public for some time now, but it wasn’t until recently that the actual version of faceswapping known as deepfakes have become a significant problem.

Deepfakes are when someone takes images of someone else’s face and uses the faceswapping AI to digitally impose that person’s face onto pornography.

Several versions of these videos popped up online recently, appearing in subreddits dedicated to the subject of creating deepfakes using famous actresses. The reason being that you have to have many different images at different angles to create a realistic image and since actresses or models will have lots of different pictures of themselves online, it is very easy for people to create the videos.

This puts a specific risk toward many women working in industries where they are photographed often. Daisy Ridley (“Star Wars: The Last Jedi”), Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman”) and Sophie Turner (“Game of Thrones”) are just a few of the actresses who have been targeted by deepfakes, according to a report from Esquire.

The creation of deepfakes

present several problems, the biggest of which is the legal issues behind the non-consensual nature of deepfakes. The actress whose face is being digitally imposed has not allowed the video creator to use their likeness and therefore has not given consent to be shown in this matter.

To many people, seeing these videos might confuse them and they may believe that the actresses in question are the actual women in the video. Parents could forbid their children to see the next movie starring their favorite actresses because they saw them in a porn video. This could cause a loss to studios, meaning the actresses could be out of work simply because of a misunderstanding and someone trying to sully their reputation.

That being said, deepfakes pose a threat that goes beyond just actresses or models, but to potentially anyone. We live in a vastly social world and people post photos of themselves online all the time.

A person could potentially take your photos and create a deepfake video of you and simply use it to embarrass you in the form of revenge porn, use it as blackmail or extort you for money. Not to mention that deepfakes don’t only limit themselves to porn, someone could swap your face and put you onto the body of someone committing a crime.

Faceswapping, when done for comedy sake like putting Nicolas Cage into every movie (a novelty act which has its own subreddit), is harmless.

Yet many are choosing to use it in very harmful and devious

ways. Something must be done to punish or hinder people from creating deepfakes.

Danielle Criton, a law professor at University of Maryland, told Wired that there is very little in terms of currently existing law that can be done to prevent the creation of deepfakes and to punish those who make them.

“It falls through the cracks because it’s all very betwixt and between. There are all sorts of First Amendment problems because it’s not their real body,” Citron said.

So, at the moment, deepfakes can not be stopped through legal action. We must rely on banning from websites where deepfakes are frequently posted. This specific way of hindering deepfake creation has been very successful.

Reddit has taken down the deepfakes subreddit and made an amendment to their rules regarding revenge porn that said any “involuntary pornography” would be removed from the site.

Twitter has suspended accounts that share media of an “intimate nature” without the consent of the person depicted in the video. Even the world’s largest porn media site, PornHub, made a huge announcement that they were working towards removing deepfakes from their website because it violates their rules about non-consensual content.

Deepfakes will continue to be an issue online in our society, but some companies are taking the right steps to make sure that deepfakes are stopped in their tracks and to prevent anyone else from being targeted, but the law has yet to catch up with the issue.

Cashback apps: downloads that are worth your time Washburn Review julia.eilert@washburn.edu

Sometimes making ends meet can be a struggle for busy college students, but the internet is filled with easy ways to make money that can help you solve your finance problems.

The only problem is that finding which ones are worthwhile can be an arduous process.

Here’s the top cashback apps that anyone can use- treat yourself with some basically free money.

1. Ibotta

Ibotta is a cashback app that can be downloaded for free.

Before shopping, users find and add cash back rebates to their accounts. After shopping from stores, restaurants and even apps, you simply send a receipt and link your loyalty card. Cash can then be received through PayPal,

2. Receipt Hog

Receipt Hog is a free cashback app that functions differently than Ibotta, and is set up more like a game than a money-saving app. Instead of looking for deals, users

just upload pictures of their receipts to earn coins and spins on the virtual slot machine.

Your receipts “feed” the hog, giving the app its name.

Coins that are swapped in for cash can then be distributed through PayPal or Amazon gift cards.

While very different from Ibotta, Receipt Hog is a fun way to earn extra cash without any premeditation. The app also stores your receipts if you choose, making it double as a spending tracker.

Receipt Hog is a straightforward idea that doesn’t take much time at all. New users do have to be approved for an account, but the process is quick and painless. It can be a great way to make your wallet thicker.

3. Ebates Ebates is a more common, free cashback app with an online interface as well. Unlike the previous apps, Ebates gives you savings directly. After making an account, you can browse discounted deals and earn different amounts of cash back while shopping online. It has a recently added feature that allows users to link cards with their account and earn cashback when they shop in stores too.

Ebates acts as more like a

discount shopping site than anything else, but it has great deals that can be paired with the other apps mentioned. It also works with many retail stores such as Sephora, and even with travel sites like Expedia. Since it has a large platform, there’s something everyone can use with Ebates.

4. Dosh The next app is Dosh. This app is the most “hands-free” of the four. After securely linking a debit or credit card to their account, users simply use the card normally and earn cashback on the app. There are no limits, and the app has discounts for booking hotels through it as well. Cash can be transferred to a bank account or PayPal, but there’s also an option to donate to charities directly from the app.

Dosh is arguably the easiest to use, as it requires no pictures, planning, or upkeep.

Altogether, it is a considerate app for people who don’t want to spend time searching for savings or deals.

All four of the apps mentioned can be downloaded onto iOS and Android systems, and are completely free. There are plenty of cashback apps out there, these are just some of the best contenders. Why not give some free money a try?

10 Features February 21, 2018

‘Monster Hunter World’ gives great RPG thrills Do you like wielding giant swords, maybe you want to fight gigantic and strange monsters? Then might I suggest Capcom’s new video game “Monster Hunter World.”

In the newest installment of the “Monster Hunter” series, you take on the role as a fifth fleet hunter entering a new world full of flora, wild felines and yes, giant, hulking monsters.

When you start a new game, you create a male or female hunter with dozens of choices for how they look and sound.

When your done creating your hunter, you create your Palico, aka adorable little cat sidekick.

Yes, now you can make your real life kitty in a video game and go monster hunting together.

If you ever get past creating your adorable little friend, you’ll find yourself on a ship bound to the new world.

After some elder dragon shenanigans, you arrive in the middle of a weird and wild jungle. After a short tutorial, which includes your first bout with deadly creatures while you are unarmed, you make your way to headquarters where you are given weapons, armor, friends and the materials you will need to begin your monster hunting quests.

In “Monster Hunter World,” there are 14 weapons available for you to use and learn. While

you can use these weapons at any point in the game, I’d recommend trying all of them in the training grounds at the very beginning, and then picking one to specialize in and master before moving on to others.

This game relies more on player skill than the type of weapon or equipment used, although these are highly important, and something higher level players do not want to ignore. Picking a weapon that has a play style you’re comfortable with and enjoy using at the beginning is key to your success in the game. For beginning players the best weapons to start the game off with would be the Greatsword, Longsword and the surprisingly fun Insect Glaive. For those who are looking for more of a challenge, look no further than the Hunting Horn. This weapon can be considerably challenging to learn how to use properly.

Once your weapon is chosen, you’ve eaten your meal and admired your cute Palico companion, your ready to set off hunting the monsters of the game. Unlike some most open world games like “Skyrim” or “ARK,” the map in “Monster Hunter World” is not completely open from the start. As you progress in the story, more and more of the large world map begins to open up for you to go and

explore in. This really gives the player the feeling of finding the undiscovered corners of a new and exciting world.

Although hunting giant, scary (and sometimes hilarious) monsters is the main focus of the game, there are many other things to discover as well.

There are interesting plants that can give you unique buffs for your quests, natives who dwell in the new world for you to make contact with and locations which are both gorgeous and fun to explore.

Progression in the game focuses mainly on killing higher and higher level monsters to acquire higher level materials which you can use to create better weapons and armor. You will often have to kill the same type of monster several times to gain enough of the materials required to create a full set.

This can, at times, feel like grinding through levels, but the fighting and tracking is different enough each time that it never gets to the point of being irritating.

Along with new gear, headquarters will also continue to evolve as you play, allowing you to have more and more options of how to complete quests, and research the monster you have decided to hunt. You’re going to want to get to know where things are in Headquarters before leaving for adventure, as you will be spending a good amount of

Colossal: The titular beasts of “Monster Hunter World” are not your average battle.

Many monsters like this Elder Dragon known as Nergigante are towering beasts that will require a lot of preparation to defeat. Taking down a monster may prove difficult, but the best way to increase your odds is to mount a structured attack with some allies.

time preparing for a hunt before you actually leave to complete it.

Even if you do everything right, remember to grab a meal, repair your gear, upgrade it, grab potions and sell loot, you might still encounter things that are difficult for you and your feline friend. Fortunately “Monster Hunter World” can be played in online co-op mode. You can either join a game with a group of your friends and take on hunts together, or you can tag along with a group of strangers. Hunting with others is a lot of fun and rewarding if your team works together to fulfill party roles and keep the monsters off balance.

“Monster Hunter World” is an exciting and challenging

game that asks its players to think critically about how they complete quests, rather then just giving tasks to complete.

The game does not hand hold you through the journey, but it also does a good job of giving you the things you need to accomplish your mission and give the player the feeling of being a Hunter surviving in the wilds.

“Monster Hunter World” is currently out on Xbox One and Playstation 4, and it will also be out on PC in the fall of this year.

‘Black Panther,’ one of Marvel’s best In his third feature film, talented director Ryan Coogler takes a famous Marvel character and creates an incredible allegory for racism, pain and anguish that transcends modern-day superhero filmmaking.

Set in the aftermath of the Sokovia Accords and “Civil War,” new king T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) must take the throne of his kingdom and decide how exactly he is going to rule the country of Wakanda.

More than just a small impoverished monarchy in the heart of Africa that the world believes it to be, Wakanda is a secret utopia that is more vast and powerful than any other nation on Earth. This is all thanks to its vast supply of Vibranium, a valuable extraterrestrial metal that is incredibly strong, which they have used to create incredible breakthroughs in fabrics, stealth, flight, weaponry and even medicine.

Before long T’Challa is beset by an enemy from America going by the alias Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) who knows of the secrets of Wakanda and sees himself as a more worthy candidate for the throne. With the help of his loyal general of the guard Okoye (Danai Gurira), a talented spy, his former lover Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and his scientifically ingenious sister Shuri (Letitia Wright), T’Challa must stop Killmonger from taking his home while also repairing the rift the latter has driven through his people.

“Black Panther” already has all the individual elements that audiences love about the

films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The action isn’t the best that has ever graced the Marvel film series, but it is still visceral and exciting.

Watching T’Challa flip and glide through the air, bullets reflecting off his suit and his claws digging, slicing and dicing his enemies is just a small piece of fight scenes featuring Okoye who wields a spear in some incredibly interesting ways. One of the best moments of the film is when she throws it through the back window and then the windshield of a moving vehicle only for the vibranium spear to impale into the ground and destroy the entire car as it runs through it. Add the really incredible battle scenes between the two warring factions led by T’Challa and Killmonger and you have some really great action moments.

Even if the action isn’t as

spectacular as some of the past movies, the actual drama behind why the fighting is happening is some of the absolute best that the Marvel films have ever offered.

T’Challa and Killmonger aren’t just nemeses, they are the two sides of the same person. In a way, the two main characters of “Black Panther” are one in the same, but they were forced into two different types of lives. Killmonger, in particular, is the strongest character here and he exists as a metaphor for the pain and suffering that young AfricanAmerican men deal with on a daily basis. He loathes the colonizers who took his land away from him and he despises the history of violence and oppression that his people have experienced for generations.

For him, Wakanda stands as a symbol of a place that let down his people. If Wakanda wasn’t so secretive and shared

the wealth with black people all over the world, then, in Killmonger’s mind, years of oppression and racism could’ve been avoided.

T’Challa represents the other side of Killmonger. He’s a man who sets his eyes on what is best for his people, but refuses to complicate matters by involving outsiders. He keeps the peace, but if he only knew what his people outside their borders were going through, he would have no choice but to help. This is the moral dilemma that T’Challa wars with throughout the movie.

Killmonger is the greatest Marvel villain in any of the movies. In fact, he deserves more credit because he’s one of the most interesting and well-structured villains in film from recent memory. He’s an anti-hero through and through and one whose message actually finds you rooting for

Andrew Shermoen

him. Killmonger’s methods are evil, but his motivation is sound and understandable.

This tension and these issues being addressed are some of the deepest that Marvel has addressed in a long time.

While “Black Panther” has individual elements that could be considered flaws, they somewhat pale in comparison to the movie’s intent and how well it executes its commentary on the societal pressures constantly facing black community.

The action may not be perfect, the pacing at the beginning may be a tad bit too slow for some people, but what the movie is saying makes all of these potential flaws fade into the background. Should a film be critiqued on every single minute flaw it has, or should it be considered a groundbreaking piece of filmmaking based on what it is doing as a whole? I think the latter is the best approach to criticism and evaluation of film and based on that criteria, “Black Panther” is a really incredible work of blockbuster cinema.

Masterfully performed by all involved, staged in an incredibly beautiful setting and providing a culture of people with a film that celebrates what makes them unique, as well as digging deep into themes that many films dare to tread, “Black Panther” is a must-watch movie and it is certainly one of the best, if not the best, Marvel movie to date.

February 21, 2018 Features 11

National Chili Day: Recipes for chilly days Chili is a dish that is loved and celebrated by Americans every year on Feb. 22. The earliest written recipe of chili came from J.C. Clopper, a Pennsylvanian who owned land in Texas during the 1800s. Clopper regularly made trips to Texas to tend to his land and documented his travels along the way. In his diary, he detailed a common habit of poor families he came into contact with. Families who sold meat would rarely keep very much for themselves. What they did keep would be cut up and made into a stew to create a meal with more sustenance. Although there are disagreements as to where chili originated, it has been adopted by Americans and modi ied by every dad who truly believes that his recipe is the best.

Here are a few variations to try out.

White Chicken Buffalo Chicken Classic 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 cans (14 ounces each) chicken broth 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1-1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper 3 cans (14.5 ounces each) great northern beans, drained, divided 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Sliced jalapeno pepper, optional

In a large pot over medium heat, cook chicken and onion in oil until lightly browned. Add garlic and cook one minute longer. Stir in the broth, chilies, cumin, oregano and cayenne, then bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low. With a potato masher, mash one can of beans until smooth and add them to the saucepan. Add the remaining beans to the saucepan.

Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until chick-en is no longer pink and onion is tender.

Top each serving with cheese and if desired, jalapeno pepper.

2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded 1 (15 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes 1 (15 ounce) can hot chili beans in sauce 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained 1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce 2 carrots, chopped 2 stalks of celery, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth 1 tablespoon olive oil Over medium heat, sauté the carrots, celery and onion in the olive oil. Add in the remaining ingredients and allow to simmer for 15 minutes before serving. Add toppings like blue or cheddar cheese and sour cream if desired.

2 pounds lean ground beef 1 can tomato juice (46 ounce can) 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounce can) 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounce can) 1 1/2 cups onion, chopped 1/4 cup Bell Pepper, chopped 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon white sugar 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon Salt 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/4 cup chili powder Place ground beef in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain and crumble. In a large pot over high heat combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low.

Simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

If using a slow cooker, add all ingredients and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Mulvane works to preserve ancient art Steven Dennis

Washburn Review steven.dennis6@washburn.edu

Washburn University’s Mulvane Art Museum is now showing its latest display, “Endangered Art.” “The exhibition showcases works from the Mulvane Art Museum’s permanent collection,” said Shannon Sweeney, collections manager of the Mulvane. “These works are in need of conservation and frames.”

A painting, like any other tangible work, does not last forever. Paint chips, frames crack and canvases stretch.

Each work that gets damaged requires special maintenance to correct these issues.

“What we hope by having these works on view is that the public, Washburn students and Washburn faculty and staff will help us fundraise money to get these works conserved,” Sweeney said. “We want the community to feel a sense of ownership with the works on our collection because it really is here for everyone.”

The exhibition features about 30 paintings, primarily from late 19th century and early 20th century American artists, in need of repair in one way or another.

Conservation: The Mulvane Art Museum, adjacent to Garvey Fine Arts Center is currently showing their gallery on Endangered Art. This gallery features many of the Mulvane’s oldest pieces which require upkeep. The gallery is used to inform people on the work that needs to be done to refurbish these paintings and is also asking for funds to be donated to repair them as well.

Clarisse Madelene Laurent’s untitled portrait of a man embodies this exhibit well. The oil painting has improperly aligned structure bars, causing the canvas to twist over the years. This issue, combined with the lack of a varnish, causes the paint to chip and flake off.

“As a museum, it is our responsibility to bring this

work back to some of its former glory,” Sweeney said.

However, to achieve their goal of restoring these paintings they need money, which they hope to amass through a grant and donations from the public.

“We decided to do an exhibition and, in correlation with it, a fundraising initiative to, over the course of the

next year, hopefully raise the funds necessary to conserve these artworks,” said Rebecca Manning, co-curator of the display.

Repair and conservation of paintings, especially when major damages are in play, is not a simple task. A great deal of thought is put into the details of each piece, all the way down to the frame.

“Frames are artworks themselves,” Manning said.

“Usually museums and cultural and educational institutions try to make sure that frames are appropriate to the period of the painting.”

The Mulvane Art Museum plans to use this as an educational opportunity for the public as a whole.

“We have plans for a kind of a lecture series,” Sweeney said. “Where a conservator will come in and talk to the public and the students about all of the different facets of conservation.”

Being a painting conservator, however, takes more than a steady hand with a brush. There are plenty of prerequisites to enter this field of practice to ensure that the masterpieces of museums remain in pristine condition.

“Conservators… have to have Bachelor’s degrees in chemistry, studio art, and art history,” said Sweeney. “We are hoping to really reach out to all different departments, on the university too, because there is such a science behind art conservation.”

The “Endangered Art” exhibition is currently ongoing at Mulvane Art Museum until June 3.
