TMB launch: rolling out in style with 200 new bikes Charles Rankin

Washburn Review charles.rankin@washburn.edu

Topeka Metro Bikes’ fleet just got a whole lot bigger.

The bike-share service now has 300 bikes spread across the city, thanks to a partnership with Capitol Federal Savings Bank. Two hundred of these bikes were rolled out with a soft launch throughout the month of June, with official launch events at Visit Topeka and the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library on June 29.

Karl Fundenberger, the Topeka Metro bikeshare coordinator, said that the program began with 100 bikes in 2015, what he called the “red bikes.” One hundred more, sponsored by Capitol Federal and painted blue to match the sponsor’s color, were added in 2016, bringing the total to 200.

The “red bikes” had a noticeable paint defect and TMB’s vendor recalled them, which put the service back down to 100 bikes.

“We just got all the new ones in,” Fundenberger said. “We got 200 new [bikes], so we’re back up to 300. We’ve cleared where we were and now we’ve expanded.”

Capitol Federal representatives were on hand at the launch events as well. Tom Hagen, who works in marketing for the company, said that Capitol Federal was very excited to continue their partnership with TMB. “We started [the partnership] in 2016,” Hagen said. “In April, we had the big launch. There were the 100 ‘red bikes’ [and] we added 100 additional ‘blue bikes.’”

After the recall of the “red bikes,” Capitol Federal decided to sponsor an additional 200 new “blue bikes.”

Hagen said that there were many benefits in Capitol Federal partnering with TMB. “Captiol Federal supports not only financially stable neighborhoods and communities, but also happy and healthy communities,” Hagen said.

“These Topeka Metro Bikes are a great way to get people out and about, mov[ing] throughout the city in a safe way[,] also create a healthier option for some people and also a transportation option for some people.”

Hagen said that some people don’t have cars or can’t walk to some places and this offers an alternative for those people.

The new bikes have a few new features as well.

The new bikes are chain-driven, as opposed to the previous bikes which were shaft-driven. They also have new inverted brake levers, which Fundenberger said will take less pressure and grip strength to stop than the older bikes. Tires on the new bikes are also wider which will help on a variety of terrain, such as brick and gravel. One feature really stands out, according to Fundenberger.

“Our favorite new feature is a cup holder in the basket,” Fundenberger said.

In addition to the 200 new bikes, TMB also just reach a new milestone, with 5,000 total sign-ups for the program. The team was celebrating this milestone by wearing T-shirts to the launch events that had “5,000” printed on the front. They have been gaining 1,000 to 2,000 new sign-ups each year, according to Fundenberger.

The service has a wide variety of pricing options. An hourly plan costs $2.50 an hour, and is prorated by the minute. Monthly plans are $5. A yearly plan is $25. A $20 annual plan is also available for students, staff and faculty of Washburn University and Washburn Tech. The monthly and yearly plans allow the user two hours of riding every day.

Mental illness: an overdue conversation Joelle Conway

Washburn Review joelle.conway@washburn.edu

Jo began to feel as though her life would have been better off if she would have just continued drowning in her mental illness rather than asking to receive mental health services.

JJ’s story is one of many horrible results of the stigma against mental illness. Mental illness stigma is very real and prevalent in society.

For some, mental illness is such a broad, confusing concept. Defining what exactly is mental illness is ambiguous to many. Mayo Clinic informs the public about the fact that the general term “mental illness” refers to a “wide range of conditions that can affect mood, thinking and behavior.” More prevalent mental illnesses include depression, anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder (Mayo).

In addition, a common misconception of psychiatric disorders is that just because a person has a bad day that makes them depressed. Mental illness is only diagnosed as such whenever the mental health symptoms carry on over a prolonged period (Mayo). Proper diagnosing of an illness leads to appropriate treatment. Without treatment, mental illness can rapidly decline a person’s health state. Those who suffer from mental illness commonly struggle with more than just their psychiatric disorder. Patrick W. Corrigan and Amy C. Watson explain that mental health service users must work on overcoming their disease while also dealing with the stigma and stereotyping against mental illness from society (Corrigan).Accompanying the increase in diagnoses of psychiatric disorders, negative viewpoints against people who have mental illnesses have also increased.

The definition of stigma is “when someone views you in a negative way because you have a distinguishing characteristic or personal trait that’s thought to be, or actually is, a disadvantage (a negative stereotype)” (Mayo). Furthermore, mental illness stigma is someone viewing a person with a mental illness in an unfavorable light.

Stigma against mental illness conjures up a variety of emotions, such as shame, blame, hopelessness, and distress for those being targeted (The Government). A possible answer to why mental illness is stigmatized by society is simply because many fear what they don’t know. With the lack of public education on psychiatric disorders, it is relevant to believe that people fear mental illness simply because they are not informed. Many people express their fear of the unknown by acting in harmful, offensive and just plain mean manners to mask their own vulnerability. This fear later insinuates itself into a stigma against virtually the entire realm of mental health issues. Coinciding with stigma, dis-

crimination against those with mental illness is also prevalent in society.

Mayo Clinic’s website reports that discrimination can be either direct or indirect. One example of direct discrimination would be a person voicing a derogatory comment about mental illness in general or a person who has a mental illness. On the other hand, an illustration of indirect discrimination would include avoidance (Mayo).These discriminating attitudes represent a barrier to treatment-seeking people because of the fear of a judgmental society finding out about their mental illness.

The likelihood of a person opening up about their mental health decreases upon witnessing or receiving backlash based on their disorder (Mayo).

Any discrimination, whether it be deemed minuscule or substantial, is inadmissible and impacts an individual suffering from a psychiatric condition in an abundance of ways that fail to be able to be described concisely on paper.

Mental health should be important to every person. Taking care of yourself mentally, physically and emotionally benefits one’s outlook on life, social relationships, perception of self and much more! Stress is a part of life. Healthy coping skills provide a person with tools to help deal with stressful situations. Exercise is a great coping skill and benefits your overall health! Taking care of your physical health is one way to improve mental health. Here are some tips for better physical health: frequent exercise which releases endorphins, proper nutrition, getting a healthy amount of sleep, avoiding harmful substances such as cigarettes or excessive alcohol intake and drinking eight cups of water each day. Having a positive support system can also help mental health. “People with strong family or social connections are generally healthier than those who lack a support network” (UHS). Investing yourself in a hobby, journaling, hanging out with loved ones, being outside or playing with a pet are other mechanisms for relieving stress. Although it may sound corny, meditation is an excellent way to quiet the mind. If meditating isn’t your thing, try mindfulness or relaxation exercises to calm yourself.

The final piece of advice—seek help when you need it. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Despite the stigma surrounding mental illness, seeking help increases the likelihood of successful treatment of the disorder. Mental health professionals can help steer you in the right direction, whether that be therapy or medications fit for you.

Karl Fundenberger of Topeka Metro Bikes and Tom Hagen of Capitol Federal take a ride around the parking lot during the launch event for 200 new bikes in the TMB program. These new bikes have features, such as wider tires that can be better for the rider on terrain such at the brick seen here at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.

Fundenberger said that TMB wants to make it easy for Washburn students to use the system, and that they are always interested in hearing from students.

At 10 a.m. this Saturday, Aug. 25, TMB is hosting an event on the east side of Memorial Union called Max Out Metro. The event is described in an email and a Facebook event as a casual ride

near campus that will be under 5 miles, with a stop for lunch afterwards.

If you want to know more about the Topeka Metro Bike system, or if you would like to sign up for a plan, you can visit topekametrobikes.org.

There is also new sign-up kiosk available in the Ichabod Service Center in the Memorial Union.

Freshman survival guide: tips and tricks for success DeyJa Cardenas Washburn Review deyja.cardenas@washburn.edu

Goodbye high school, hello college. College is a place to gain an education and help put you on a career path but more so, college is an opportunity for new experiences and to build lifelong friendships. Together, we are all here to grow and learn as individuals. Be excited! You get to learn about yourself and other people. Reach out, get involved, talk to other students, have fun and be safe. We have created this student survival guide to help you jumpstart your Washburn experience.

Good luck on this school year and go Bods!

Think smart. Form a study plan. Meet with your advisor and determine what works for you.

Once you have a study plan, stick with it. Studying pays off, remember that you are paying a lot of money to be in the classes you enrolled in; don’t waste your opportunity to learn, and don’t waste your money. Always take notes in class, study, and be present. Form relationships with your pro-

fessors, talk to them about the areas you’re struggling in. Ask questions, either in class or email them, but ask questions. Your professors are there to teach, and if you don’t feel like you are learning the material in the way that you expected to then reach out to your advisor for advice or go to the free tutoring services in Mabee Library. Due to renovations the tutoring center is currently located on the lower level of Mabee Library. The tutors are friendly and passionate about helping you in every subject. They will assist you with everything from basics to studying for final exams.

Don’t be nervous, you will probably see other students in there with the same questions. Beyond this, skillshops are a great opportunity to gain new skills. Skillshops are required to attend for new students in the Washburn Experience class, but are recommended for all Ichabods. Pay attention and reap the benefits.

Washburn transitions to Guide app to help students succeed Charles Rankin

Washburn Review Charles.Rankin@washburn.edu

Beginning this semester, students have a new app to use to manage their college experience.

Gone are the days of the Ellucian Go mobile app as Washburn is transitioning into using a new system, Guide.

This change is ultimately designed to make things simple for students and faculty and to help students succeed.

“From a student success standpoint, students were telling us that MyWashburn was not very user friendly and the Ellucian Go app was not very user friendly,” said Alan Bearman, dean of libraries and the center for student success and retention.

Bearman said that the phrase that student’s used most often was that “it’s not intuitive.” Not only was it not user friendly, but the system also didn’t necessarily help the students in the way that they needed or wanted.

“The other thing we heard over and over again was that it doesn’t do anything to help me graduate,” Bearman said. “There was a lot of emphasis on the personal, which if you think about it, it makes sense... We want our apps to be personalized.”

The university went through a process to lookfor a better system. Faculty, staff and even a

few students went through it together and found EAB’s Student Success Collaborative to be the best fit for Washburn.

“When we went out and started thinking about what to do, how to promote student success, everywhere we turned people said SSC is a great collaborative,” Bearman said.

One of the students who was a part of the process to find the app was Erasmo Nunez, junior mass media major. He was brought onto the team by former WSGA President Alexis Simmons.

“She trusted me to be there and really advocated for students... and for what they need,” Nunez said.

The contract for the app and for EAB is for five years and will cost an average of $197,500 annually, according to a Board of Regents agenda from September of 2017. Nunez said that Simmons understood that this was a big endeavor for the university. “[Simmons] wanted to make sure that it would be done well and would be done consciously with students in mind,” Nunez said.

While there are many different aspects to Guide,

Bearman said that they wanted to focus on a few particular aspects initially.

“One of the most powerful things about it is communication tools,” Bearman said.

He said that students would tell them all the time that they get so many emails from the university thatthey can never tell which ones are actually relevant or important to them and which ones aren’t. The Guide app has sections like todos, events and resources that students can use to figure out important things about their college experience. The app even allows a user to click on a resource and be shown where to find it on a map.

“Now you can find buildings and offices on campus... all through the app,” Bearman said.

According to Bearman, one of the biggest hang-ups for students at Washburn are holds on their accounts.

“The [app] will tell you there’s a hold and it will tell you how to resolve it,” Bearman said.

Another feature of the app allows students to schedule appointments with faculty for things such as advising, which is another communication

aspect. Nunez agrees that it is a very strong asset of it. He said that as much as professors care for individual students at Washburn, they still have other students they’re advising and teaching, as well as assignments they have to grade, so using a system like this allows them to better communicate.

“It lets students and faculty have better rapport,” Nunez said. “Especially for first year students, they’re not used to the type of professional relationships that you can develop with your professors... a healthy relationship with a professor or a teacher in college doesn’t look the same as in high school.”

Bearman said that other features within the app, such as detailed class schedules and the ability to upload that schedule from the app to your own calendar are available now. Other features include syncing your personal calendars to the app and easier enrollment, which will be rolling out in the future as Washburn continues on with this transition.

The app is available in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store by searching Guide College Simplified. Bearman encourages students to download it. Anyone that has feedback or issues with the app can email sschelp@washburn. edu. There will also be meetings scheduled later in the semester for students to come in and offer feedback in person after Labor Day.

Washburn’s website gets a makeover Washburn spotlights Kristen Shook

Washburn Review natalie.croze@washburn.edu

If you have logged back into your Washburn account, you might have noticed a few changes.

During the summer months, the Washburn Information Technology Services department has implemented many changes to make the Washburn website friendlier for mobile devices. Patrick Early, director of public relations, explains that updating Washburn’s website to a more modern design was the goal for the ITS department.

“One of the biggest things we did was to start out with a real strong focus as to what we were trying to do. Our focus with the website was primarily towards perspective students to help them find in the university what they’re interested in, and find the courses to study and the aspects of student life in Washburn that would make this an attractive choice,” Early said.

Washburn’s website has been updated in such a way that it makes searching for your major and what majors will entail simpler than in the previous installment.

“I think one of the things we’re most proud of besides just the general look is the areas of study, it’s a great way to explore that you’re looking for what you’re interested in. It’s a great way to explore things to know if you’re interested in two or three things what might combine those things that interest you,” Early said.

Early also explained that the new ITS website format goes beyond showing Washburn’s academic options, but it also does its best to help students

Leadership Institute Fall Orientation The Leadership Institute Fall Orientation theme is inspired by the game RISK. The orientation is 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Aug. 24 in the Washburn A room of the Memorial Union.

All current Washburn University students are welcome to come.There will be free food and t-shirts. Along with tons of games, fun, and new friends. RSVP to leadership@ washburn.edu

Important dates for students The last day to change from audit to graded or A/Pass/Fail status is Aug. 24.

This is also the last day to enroll in a course without an instructor’s permission.

understand some of the terminology of the fields they’re going into.

“For instance, if you’re interested in maybe park and recreations running programs, you wouldn’t necessarily as a student think ‘oh yeah kinesiology’ that’s just not a term that they’re use to,” Early said.

In addition to the improvements made to the Washburn University website, Washburn’s website security protocols have also received a significant upgrade.

Web administrator for ITS, Chad Beatty, oversees the website and general web maintenance.

Beatty explained that there are different security measures that prevent specific kinds of hacking, which has made Washburn’s website more secure. While Washburn’s website didn’t have any major security problems in the past, the improvements made by ITS have made Washburn’s website more protected.

Future improvements to the website will also continue, Beatty explained, due to ITS excellent group cohesion.

“The coolest thing for me about this website is working with the web oversite committee. We all were kind of on the same page with where we wanted to go with it and we wanted it to be more interesting to look at,” Beatty said. “We wanted it to be more engaging for students… We were all just on the same page about what everything kind of needed to have a tendency to look like.”

Both Early and Beatty agree that the Washburn website will continue to be improved and stay upto-date for Washburn’s modern students.

Joe Perry, a local Topeka police officer, came up with the idea. He believed that the artwork would attract viewers, and therefore, lower crime rates in the area. Having people around would ward off criminals in the area.

“One way to change that [crimes] around is to bring people to the location, because bad guys don’t want to get caught, and they’re not necessarily scared of the police because we can’t be there 24/7, but the neighbors can be there 24/7,” Perry said.

Mental illness: continued

According to Mayo Clinic, upon diagnosis from a clinician, people felt a sense of relief to understand what was going on with their mind (Mayo).

Mental illness is often an imbalance of chemicals in the brain—NOT a personal incompetence. Receiving appropriate mental health care assists individuals in recovery and helps one live life to the fullest. Recovery is a journey that does not happen overnight. However, there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel. This is an important social problem with an impact on individuals with mental illness and comes at cost to society, and it needs to be handled as such. The people of the world can only change society if they change themselves, first.

The ostrich who buries its head in the sand does not make it not have to confront or acknowledge its issues.

Pretending mental illness doesn’t exist won’t make if *poof* disappear.

Battling the discrimination and stigma against mental illness starts with merely talking about it. “The more hidden mental illness remains, the more people continue to believe that it is shameful and needs to be concealed” (The Government).By just talking about it more, people can feel more open to bringing it up. The more conversations society has about mental illness, the more likely shame against talking about the topic will subside.

In the same manner, the labeling of persons with a psychiatric disorder needs to be stopped. Often, judgement and stereotyping coincide with labeling a group of people (The Government). By simply rewording a sentence from “she is schizophrenic” to “she has schizophrenia” can make a difference in the perception of those with these illnesses.

Let me say it louder for the people in the back: mental illness does not define who a person is. If you hear someone making fun of someone with a mental illness or mental illness in general, put an end to it. Just saying “Hey, that’s not cool.” Or “Cut it out” can make a difference and perhaps help that person not say inconsiderate comments like that anymore.

You’ve heard it since you were in Kindergarten: “The Golden Rule—

Treat people how you want to be treated”. Combating stigma is as simple as that. Would you like it if you were told to “stop looking for attention”? Would it hurt your feelings if someone downplayed your feelings and told you that “it can’t be that bad”? People need to take a step back and look at the situation through the other person’s eyes before they act in a potentially harsh, offensive manner. In a perfect world, each person we interact with would be nice, kind, considerate, mindful, generous, and more. However, we don’t live in a perfect world. Therefore, it is up to us and each individual person to make the world a better, more accepting place for those with a mental illness and everybody else.

A simple act of kindness has been proven to saves lives, says a study done

by PsychUStudies. Self-harm and panic attacks are less likely to happen to a person if they had someone, for example, told them to have a good day, a friendly hug, a pat on the back, made them laugh, or even gave a compliment like “Dannggggg, you’re looking good today.”

Even a smile could brighten someone’s mood. You never know what people are going through by just looking at them.

Sometimes those struggling with a mental illness seem “fine” on the surface.

No matter the case, ask your loved ones how they are doing. Simply showing others that you care for them can affect their mood and self-esteem.

Mental health should be a conversation for everybody, not solely those with a mental illness.

Being empathetic and kind to others may improve your, and their, outlook on life. Before passing judgement onto a person, remember that every single individual is going or has gone through something greater than what you know.

Rather than ridiculing, try having a conversation with the person.

Choosing kindness over hatefulness is the start to bettering society. “Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all” was said by an

unknown author. It is up to the people of society to make the change, and to make this world a better place for everybody on this planet.

Students, math department benefit from library renovations

Charles Rankin

Washburn Review charles.rankin@washburn.edu

Students returning to campus this week may notice some construction happening in Mabee Library.

Renovations to the third floor of the library began over the summer and will continue through the first part of the fall semester. What was once an open area for quiet studying is in the process of being turned into three new classrooms dedicated to the success of students.

One of these classrooms is designed to help students to succeed in math.

“Working with the math department, we’re going to change the way we teach introductory math at Washburn,” said Alan Bearman, dean of libraries and the center for student success and retention. “We’re going to use this special classroom designated to math for students to work on their math skills in a computer-based environment.”

Bearman said that this “math emporium” will be open with the library’s hours and will allow students access from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. which will give them the flexibility to help them succeed.

Kevin Charlwood, chair of the mathematics and statistics department, said that this new classroom was conceived as a student success initiative a little over a year ago.

“Because the Center for Student Success is housed in the library, that’s how we’re kind of partnering with them,” Charlwood said. “They

students that come in for tutoring on a normal day and up to 100 on days leading up to tests.

“Our lab in [Morgan] 252 is not very big, so basically what this will mean is an expansion on tutoring services,” Charlwood said.

Contemporary College Mathematics, MA 112, which was formerly known as Essentials to Mathematics, is changing to a more active and interactive format. Moving into this space will help students with this change.

“This new class space will have whiteboards all around the room, a short throw projector up front and there will be five configurations of six learning pods,” Charlwood said.

Each pod will have a desktop computer that will allow a student to login to an online learning system.

Charlwood said that adding a classroom allows the department to offer classes at the most popular times as well.

“A two in the afternoon class is just not going to do real well for a lot of reasons, and 8 a.m. is also not a popular time,” Charlwood said. “Just having that extra space for peak demand times photo by Charles Rankin is also very helpful so we can offer more classes Review Construction on the third floor of Mabee Library has been underway throughout the summer.

Welcome Washburn students, both new and returning. My name is Morgan Holloway and I am the Editor in Chief of the Washburn Review.

Whether you are reading this on the way to your first week of classes or you’re beginning your 30th year as a professor, I am excited you picked up the Washburn Review and I hope it won’t be your last.

From the Washburn website to the campus construction, everything seems to be changing.

The Review also has undergone major transformations. We have redesigned once again: we have increased the size of the paper, added a few black and white pages and have revamped the puzzles page.

If you have read The Review before, you know there are three major sections: news, features and sports. This year we have also added a new section called arts and living.

Within these sections, we hope to capture more stories of our student body as well as Washburn faculty and staff.

As the Student Media students worked on the first issue of the Review, I asked them to reflect on why they are here. Our motto clearly states, “news that matters to WU.” Our role at Washburn University has remained constant since 1885. Student Media exists to bring the truth to the Washburn community so they can make informed decisions.

Why should you read the Washburn Review?

We are Washburn. Student Media is made up of nursing students, artists, education students, mathematicians, international students and many more. We want to represent our campus in the newsroom, so diversity is vital.

You have a voice, but sometimes your voice isn’t always heard. In order to allow others to hear you, open lines of communication between us are extremely important.

Student Media welcomes all questions, comments, concerns, suggestions and tips you have for us. We will admit that we are all human and we are going to make mistakes, but we are committed to serving you with the best coverage of what is happening on Washburn’s campus.

We hope during your time at Washburn you can depend on us as a source of information, an opportunity to share your voice or learn about a perspective different from your own.

Pick up your copy of The Review each Wednesday on campus, read online at washburnreview.org and look for us on social media and different events during the year. Please come visit the Washburn Student Media Office in the Union Underground. We would love to hear your story ideas, feedback or just say hello. Feel free to email me at morgan.holloway@washburn. edu.

Washburn Review baylee.wolf@washburn.edu

Many Washburn students came into this year oblivious about their roommates. Before moving in, maybe they talked to one of their roommates, maybe they talked to two or maybe they moved in completely blindsided about who they would be living with for the next nine months.

Being able to tell a roommate horror story is not something we wish. When we find someone who would be the “perfect fit” for the other side of our dorm room, we should get to know them better and only make arrangements to live together if things go well.

If that scenario doesn’t occur before August, it is a great idea to get to know one’s roommates better. Make a list of expectations and concerns before or shortly after classes start, and before the stress and deadlines ensue. The best way to do this is to simply sit down with one’s roommates and talk.

Fill out the packet that covers expectations on studying, socializing, cleaning and sleeping that the resident assistants hand out. It forces the group to discuss what they expect and need from each other in the living situation. Following this, find or come up with a list of both light-hearted and personal questions to answer to enhance the group bond.

My roommates and I did this, and it definitely made us bond and it gave us a bright future together. Of course, we started with something light, like “what is your favorite color?” and we all took turns answering the question. Over time, we moved into more personal questions like “how

do you get in the way of your own success?” and “what events made you the person you are today?”

We made the atmosphere a comfortable space and we were all open to and accepting of each others’ answers. We made it known that if there was something we wished to not discuss, we would not be pressured to continue.

Not only did we bond, but we enjoyed our time together. It was both relaxing and interesting. Afterward, we all knew more about each other than we had before. We knew more about what we needed to do to keep peace in the room, and about what we expected from ourselves and from each other throughout the school year. We also learned how to help each other reach those expectations.

Being able to look at each other afterward and say “I never would have guessed that about you” put a smile on our faces and made us think about different activities we could do together.

Making these connections now rather than later in the semester, possibly after issues arise, not only prevents potential arguments and hurt feelings but it also makes the room feel homier. In turn, the occupants should have a safe space to relax, socialize and study in to make the school year a success.

Moving into college is stressful enough. Having at least one person, especially a roommate, that one knows or feels comfortable with provides the smallest bit of familiarity, but also a social connection. They can be someone to go to events with, to eat meals with and hopefully someone to confide in and trust. This could help make the huge transition from living at home with the people we have known for our entire lives to living in a huge foreign place a lot easier.

Best places to visit while at WU Baylee Wolf

Washburn Review baylee.wolf@washburn.edu

In pursuit of a quality education at Washburn University, students have been traveling from near and far to arrive at the place they will call home for the next nine months. Both new and returning students are attending the Welcome Week events, but soon many will crave to leave campus in order to enrich themselves in new, interest-fulfilling experiences. On a college campus, it is expected that students will have various interests and passions. While many hobbies can be discussed here on campus through classes and certain events, the surrounding city of Topeka, Kansas, has a lot to

offer as well.

This city of almost 130,000 has recreational activities for all. From the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site to coffee shops, like PT’s Coffee Roasting Co—a highly recommended place to hang out by Washburn students.

One is very likely to find at least one Washburn student at PT’s at almost any time of the day because of its popularity among our students and its location near campus. Therefore, not only is it a great place to grab an energy-booster, but it’s also a place to form new relationships.

Just like coffee, movies are another entertaining pastime for students to bond over. There are a few Regal Cinemas in the area to spend some time at with friends.

There are also plenty of ways to get active in Topeka.

“Lake Shawnee is always a fun place to go. You can go kayaking, hammocking, go on picnics, walks, runs, swimming . . . Another good place is the roller skating rink. Sometimes, there are a lot of kids there, but it is still a lot of fun to just go with friends . . . and have a night of skating and getting ice cream at The Pennant after,” Washburn senior, Madi McGinness said.

More enjoyable and entertaining activities include swing dancing at Jayhawk Theatre, visiting and learning about animals at the Topeka Zoological Park and getting your mini golf game on at Safari Golf.

“When school gets stressful, like during mid-

5 terms or finals week, I like to go to Petland with my roommate,” Alyson Hurt, a Washburn student said. “We like to play with the dogs. It really helps us de-stress and get our minds off of school for a little bit.”

Petland is located in the West Ridge Mall, a popular place of shopping in Topeka.

The Kansas state capital has both familiar and brand new activities to offer to its long-term andshort-term citizens. Topeka is many students’ “home away from home,” and places such as movie theaters, museums and coffee shops not only give them joy, but also may make them feel more at home.

Washburn Review Cassidy.Haag@washburn.edu

A brand new mural has taken place near the famous Monroe School, the basis for Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education.

Joe Perry, local police officer of Topeka, Kansas, made the new mural possible by making a call to ArtsConnect of Topeka in 2015. The mural is located north of the Monroe building on 15th St. and Monroe. Despite being the site of our nation’s first desegregated school, the area is also the site of many current crimes. With this mural,

Perry hoped that it would mean more watching eyes in the area as well as a decrease in crime.

The Monroe school became a historical landmark in 1954 as the first school to desegregate.

Sixty-four years later, the school has become a museum dedicated to honoring the Brown v.

Board of Education case. Located north of the building is a mural representing Topeka, Kansas.

The idea behind the mural was to make the art of the participants of the Living the Dream artwork contest come to life.

Sarah Fizell, the ArtsConnect director, took initiative and began creating the massive piece.

The mural is 130 feet by 30 feet, and it took three

years and $100,000 to create and finish.

“My role was to make sure that the lifts were here, the paint was ordered, the artists were paid, that the grant reports were filed, and the fundraising was done,” Fizell said.

Within the three-year time span, the mural took over 2,000 people from nine different countries to complete. The ages of the helpers ranged from young children to senior citizens. Volunteers also included the women’s correctional facility. Perry had envisioned all types of people to help with the mural as a way to bring people together and show that they can get along.

“The citizens paint it so they’re invested in it.

They want to protect it and people come to see it. Now, there’s all these eyes [from the mural] watching these criminals do bad things, they don’t want to get caught so they find some other place to be. This isn’t the end,” Perry said. “In the spring of next year the police department has commissioned ArtsConnect to put a mural on the police department.”

This mural was made as a way to decrease crime and get the community involved. It also represents what the Topeka community values as a whole: a safer, more welcoming area for people from all walks of life.

Senior checklist: are you on track to graduate?

Emily Unruh

Washburn Review emily.unruh@washburn.edu

As the school year begins, students are scrambling to get organized. For seniors, there is extra pressure to “get it right” as they begin to enter the workforce. Thankfully, Washburn is here to assist and inform seniors to get rid those anxiety dreams and ensure that you have prepared for your final year of college.

There are multiple resources that Washburn provides that help students graduate and enter the workforce. This year, make sure to check with Career Services for assistance with resume writing and their various events.

Students are invited to bring their resumes and participate in interviews to learn and practice their skills on Mock Interview Day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 4. The day covers a range of subjects such as appropriate clothing, how to ask questions in an interview and how to answer the questions addressed.

Career Services also offers various career fairs. Whether it is a big group fair, or degree specific, they allow students to meet potential employers. Individuals are able to interact with both businesses and graduate programs to find out what the best fit is for them. On any day,

Career Services is always a good resource to help build your resume and learn about what employers are expecting as seniors prepare to graduate.

There are also things you can do on your own time. The Office of Academic Affairs recommends completing internships, most before senior

All of this leads up to commencement at the end of your college career, which seeks to “celebrate, honor and recognize the achievements of all students.” If you are planning to participate in your commencement ceremony, you must submit your application for graduation to the University registrar’s office by the deadline for the semester you plan to walk. The fall deadline is September 3, and the spring and summer deadline is February 2. There are no rehearsals, but seniors will receive instructions in a letter and are instructed to arrive at Petro 125 approximately 45 minutes before the beginning of your ceremony. The fall date for Commencement is December 14, and the spring date is May 11.

Freshman survival guide continued: Prepare yourself. Look up a recommended supply list for college students, and get more than enough. Form organizational habits, such as color coding notes, setting reminders in your phone for important projects and meetings. Utilize the Washburn planner that was given to you; so each of your syllabi should have a course schedule, use that to note important deadlines and exam dates.

Also, it is normal to feel overwhelmed at the beginning of the year, and trying to find your classes around campus doesn’t help. Don’t be afraid to ask others where things are located. They’ve been in your shoes, and it’s an opportunity to socialize.

Download the “Guide” app to navigate around campus. Guide provides you an e-map of the campus as well as a pocket schedule of your classes.

Participate. One of the best ways to get comfortable in a new environment is to get involved.

Getting involved on campus is easy. Washburn has a ton of free events throughout the year to promote student involvement. These events often table Greek life organizations, student govern-

ment and even job opportunities around campus.

The Student Recreation and Wellness Center often promotes or has many opportunities for students, such as intramurals, Greek life events, fitness trainers, exercise programs and much more. Trainers will properly show you how to use equipment and even give you a personal fitness program. The facility is free for students and even offers great job opportunities for students.

Student health. Located in Morgan 140, the student urgent care center is open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The facility offers affordable vaccines, sports physicals, individual exams and testing and x-rays. Some exams or tests may cost a small amount, but it is a fraction to what would be paid at any other urgent care center. In addition to this, the facility offers free contraceptives. Protecting yourself is most important, and often this is ignored because of the cost. Fortunately, free condoms are located in Student Health and Mabee Library. While keeping your body healthy is important, your mind

needs just as much care. Located in Kuehne Hall, suite 200, counseling is free for students. The staff cares and understands that life can be overwhelming at times. We all need someone to talk to and a place to feel comfortable, so this is the perfect place for that. Schedule a consultation between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday – Friday. Drop-in appointments are open 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Money matters. Whether you are paying for all of your educational and living expenses, you received help through financial aid, or student loans or you are fortunate enough to not have quite as much financial responsibility; money management is important. You should begin forming good financial habits now. Washburn University encourages you to visit the financial aid office in Morgan Hall to discuss building a budget or financial aid plan.

Money matters tip: At the end of each semester Washburn gives you an opportunity to sell your books back to the bookstore for cash. This could be a great opportunity to save some money

for next semesters expenses.

Know your iCard. Your iCard has many functions on campus and it is extremely important not to lose it. It is the key to your suite and many other facilities. You have to have it to access your meal plan in Lincoln or Union Dining; this is when your dining dollars or block meals are used. It also holds all of your Bod Bucks. Bod Bucks are currency on your card that doesn’t expire as long as you’re a student. Bod Bucks can be used at the Corner Store, Ichabod Shop, Laundry Facilities, vending machines and many other places. If you bank with U.S. Bank, your checking or savings account can be linked to your iCard, which allows your iCard to function as a debit card. There are no fees and it can be used at any U.S. Bank ATM. In addition to all of this, you can use your iCard for discounts at many businesses in the Topeka area, and you can save up to 25 percent on merchandise on shopping apps like “Unidays.”

iSave Discounts Student discounts (iSAVE). Unidays is an online shopping app that gives up to 25 percent off student discounts for trendy clothes, accessories, electronics and more. This includes eye buy direct, Victoria’s Secret, PINK, H&M, Shein, Microsoft, Apple iTunes and more.

The Ichabod Success Institute: dream to achieve Abbie Barth

Washburn Review abbie.barth@washburne.edu

The transition from high school to college is never a simple one. Now, imagine being a first generation student that knows nothing about college and never imagined themselves attending.

These are the type of students that the Washburn Success Institute is trying to help.

The Success Institute is a unique program created here at Washburn to encourage high school students who were not on the path to college. The program offers more than just some free college credit: they also provide an opportunity for students to realize their full potential. Their key principle is to teach their students how to achieve their own version of success and inspire the rest of the campus to do the same.

“90 plus percent of them are still enrolled in

University…the retention rate for the rest of Washburn is half of that. Just that number is a success,” Student Success Lecturer, Steve Hageman said.

The students who join the institute every year are selected from the three main USD 501 high schools. Typically, seven to eight students from each school are chosen in the fall of their senior year, and then a gradual selection process begins.

The end result is a class size of approximately 20 students. These students attend a five-week course over the summer, followed by a two-year commitment to take specified classes together each semester to earn college credit and create a strong support system that they can lean on for their time here at Washburn.

“They, in some ways create their own support structures. Not a day goes by that we don’t see them… studying with each other and pushing each other.” Steve said.

This program is an opportunity that not only

helps disadvantaged students on their path towards a bachelors degree, but also impacts the community and inspires other students to forge their own path of success. Washburn wants to see their students reach their full potential and give back to the greater Topeka community.

The Ichabod Success Institute educates their

students on how to reach their full potential and then gives them the space needed to do that.

These students not only give back to the Washburn Community, but also to Topeka and Shawnee County, because without them, this program would not exist.

BlacKkKlansman: a film with a purpose

Nicholas Solomon

Washburn Review nicholas.solomon@washburn.edu

2018 won’t be over for a while, but this film is one of my top picks for the best one I have seen this year.

Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver and an impressive ensemble cast, not to mention being directed by Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman, a crime and biographical film, tells the story of an African-American policeman who aims to expose the local KKK chapter. Set in 1970s Colorado, this film is absolutely powerful. Several of its elements just click perfectly, but it just has one flaw that won’t be ignored.

Washington and Driver are both absolute powerhouses, this can’t be stated enough. I loved both of their characters, with Washington’s Stallworth being the star. Their chemistry was incredibly enjoyable. I would totally watch a buddy cop film starring the two of them. I haven’t seen Driver in anything besides Star Wars, so it was a nice change to see Driver not being Kylo. There is not a single cast member that didn’t do their job incredibly well. From Laura Harrier’s character, to the central Klansmen and everyone else, nobody

pulls you out of the experience. Accompanying these actors is a beautifully shot film, with the slight effect of it being in the 70s, which is reminiscent of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice, stylized shots that really stand out and the actors combined with the setting and mood create something very memorable.

The story is a fun and entertaining ride, mainly because of these characters, but also the themes and message. It is hard to explain, but the film balances its narrative and its message very well. My only huge issue with the plot is the pacing, but other things make up for it. This film suffers from pacing in the middle of the film that is just a bit lackluster compared to the rest of the film, but thinking back, I thoroughly enjoyed the middle section even if it wasn’t a perfect pace.

One of the best parts of the film is its

ending. It is the most powerful ending to a film I have seen since ‘Get Out’ and ‘Blade Runner: 2049,’ and honestly solidifies my opinion of the film as how stellar it really is.

The film also has some really funny moments at just the right times.

Washington and Driver, along with other cast members, provide great levity throughout the film, especially Washington. This is one of my favorite aspects of the film, as every single bit of comedy lands in this film, and I chuckled several times.

Everything just seemed to be clicking in all the right places, and Washington and Driver seemed to be naturals.

The film provides many instances that reflect society in contemporary times, some aspects being disturbingly similar, maybe even worse, as if time photo courtesy of collider.com

went by, but some humans didn’t change with it. Although these scenes can be serious, most of them are presented in a way that are really funny to witness.

The soundtrack has a few licensed songs, but is mostly an original score composed by Terence Blanchard. Its seedy 70s mood complementsthe rest of the film and adds to the soundtrack. While the score might have been repetitive at times, overall I enjoyed it and it definitely added to the movie.

If films like Slenderman can argue that films can just be bland fluff, BlacKkKlansman certainly argues that film can be used for a higher purpose than to make money. It provides a unique story with a very clear and human message that I’m glad to have seen and heard. Ron Stallworth is an incredibly memorable character (which I really think will put Washington on the map if he isn’t already is), and he has so many funny moments, as well as serious ones that combined makes a film that is very compelling. In the end, I wholeheartedly believe everybody should see this movie, and I myself will not forget about it anytime soon.

posed by Masahiko Kimura and Michiru Yamane, is no exception.

The last thing worth mentioning for this game is the re-playability: even after putting many

hours into the game on your initial playthrough, you are given a number of different endings that you can unlock through challenges, and, depending on what ending you get, you are able to unlock different items and game modes. The most notable is a new game plus mode, which lets you restart the game with the items and weapons you beat the game with, and Julius mode.

I still have a long way to go in beating Julius mode, but it puts you in the same map as the main game. You don’t get access to any magical powers: you’re given Julius and a whip. The whip is a staple of the classic “Castlevania” games, and, although not nearly as powerful as weapons in the normal mode, it is certainly the most fun. It changes the gameplay and it definitely makes it more challenging.

It can’t be stated enough how awesome a game “Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow” is, 13 years old or not. Its gameplay, the soundtrack, graphics and everything else are really fun. I have put tons of hours into the game due to how much fun it is, and, with the bonus content, I will definitely put several more hours in.

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow: 13 years and counting Nicholas Solomon

Washburn Review nicholas.solomon@washburn.edu

Thirteen years hasn’t made a difference in how great “Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow” is.

With the Netflix adaptation of the “Castlevania” series coming out in late October, it seems fitting to go back and review one of the best games in the series. Originally released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS and developed by Konami, “Dawn of Sorrow” is, if my math is right, the 20th installment of the influential fantasy action series centering around vampire hunters and their fight against Dracula. Like most “Castlevania” entries, this game is played on a 2D plane, but while even modern 2D games can be boring, this one is always a lot of fun.

A deep story isn’t needed for these types of games, but it is worth mentioning the playable character, Soma Cruz, who is supposedly the reincarnation of Dracula. Instead of taking place in Dracula’s castle, the plot of the game follows a cult trying to emulate Dracula’s castle. Soma is special because he is able to take powers from monsters he kills, and this reflects into the gameplay. The story is by no means a “Witcher 3” level quality, but it is enough to help cement the atmosphere of the game.

The gameplay of “Dawn of Sorrow” is nothing short of amazing. There is a leveling system, but the real fun comes with the weapon and magic system. You are given different types of weapons: a physical weapon (axe, sword, dagger, etc) and a magic weapon that the player unlocks after killing a monster. Some weapons grant an ability to attack, and some give access to a passive ability.

Both types are given a slot so they can be used simultaneously. These additions add a ton of playability to the game because you can collect certain souls to upgrade one of your physical weapons: each weapon has several different tiers that increase in power. It is important to upgrade said weapons because, while not immensely hard, the

game is certainly not easy.

The game involves jumping around the area and butchering a wide array of diverse enemies in your path. The thing about this game, though, is that instead of separate levels, this game gives you one big map, the entirety of the castle, and parts of the map unlock each time you defeat a boss. This map system works well with the game because every time you leave a room, enemies in the room you left will re-spawn. The only real annoyance in gameplay is when you have to use the touchscreen to open “seals” that you must get through to get to each boss. Some of these are incredibly annoying, but it could be much worse.

It all sounds simple, but with the amazing gameplay that never gets old and the awesome weapon upgrade system, I clocked a ton of time into this game. It is easily the most I have ever played on a portable console.

The graphics are important as well. Because it’s a side-scroller, this game isn’t pixelated, but its backgrounds have an awesome, almost 3D look to them with a great, unique and gothic atmosphere. Plus, parts of the castle have their own little aesthetics to them, and each one draws you in. One example would be the “Garden of Madness,” which is filled with a variety of plant-based enemies. Another room is a lab area filled with Frankenstein’s monsters and hordes of skeletons.

All of the rooms have a mix of their own unique enemies, and all areas share some enemies.

“Dawn of Sorrow’s” score is also noteworthy.

Several Castlevania games are known for their memorable soundtracks, and this score, com-

Washburn fall sports kick off

Soccer

Cross Country

After finishing last season with a winning 109-1 record, the Washburn women’s soccer team has spent their summer working on improving their skills for the upcoming fall. They have added 14 freshmen to their roster this fall with hopes that the new additions will compliment all of the returning talent.

Junior forward Emma Wetzel puts emphasis on their successful offseason training when predicting how high the fall energy will be.

“We really tried to develop on the ideas and intensity that was established last fall. We just got out of a very positive preseason. It was great combining the team we had in the spring with the new freshmen. I believe that we are setting up a solid foundation, not only for this season, but seasons to come,” Wetzel said.

Head coach Davy Phillips, who joined the program in the middle of last season, also has high expectations built around a familiar process. He instills philosophies as a foundation for success.

“Attention to details and putting in a couple wrinkles that will help unbalance defenses.

More specific detailed information is being used compared to last year’s big picture focus on how we want to play,” said Phillips.

Both Phillips and Wetzel agree that the team has high hopes to improve on their sixth place finish from last year while also working toward qualifying for the conference championship later in the year.

“The strength of our team comes from the fact that we depend on all of them. Certain players are asked to carry more responsibility within our

The cross country team has decided to meet its challenges head on this season, going above and beyond the successes of their past seasons.

There was a sensation of excitement in the air as the cross country team was reunited at the fall sports banquet last weekend. From the coaches to the newest additions to the team, it is clear that these athletes are ready to compete this fall.

For cross country head coach Cameron Babb, there are some high expectations that accompany this season. His athletes have been preparing all summer, using workout plans that he personally designed as guidelines, to ensure that the team will be in top shape.

“We finally have some upperclassmen that can take the reigns and know exactly what should be going on, and I think that is going to help a lot,” Babb said.

Babb also expressed his excitement for the team to hopefully reach nationals this season.

Senior runner Chryspus Muema has not only been going through rigorous exercise routines to prepare for the season, but also concentrating on his diet and sleep. He wants to ‘keep the ball rolling’ for himself, as well as the team. His beliefs that the newest additions to the cross country team will fit into the program well and have success are also strong.

“I’m excited to see how the new athletes will perform. During the first week of practice, we had a 5k time trial. Even though the weather condition was not in our favor, our team performed very well. Everyone ran good times, which ensures that we are in a healthy position

playing style. It’s a good group, a good mix of experienced kids who should carry some of that burden as well as some really dynamic freshmen,” Phillips said.

Seniors Ellie Karloff, Mackenzie Heiman, Paige Swanson and Cassidy Meadows, along with junior Olivia Grasso and sophomores Tera Lynch and Jenna Shortridge, have all been described as big names to watch out for on the field this season.

The Ichabods will have their season opener at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 31 in Fayette, Iowa, against Southwest Minnesota State University.

Football After using last spring to train and taking the summer months to prepare individually, the Ichabod football team was reunited as a whole on its home turf last week.

The reinforced daily routine for this fall will include teamwork drills, memorizing plays and, of course, conditioning to prepare for a season full of competition.

The Ichabods ended the 2017 season with a winning record of 7-5 and are motivated to make their 2018 record even better.

Senior wide receiver James “JJ” Brania has nothing but positive things to say about his teammates going into this season. He believes that if they stay focused and believe in each other, good things will come.

“Of course there’s only positive aspirations for the year, I believe in my team. We just need to focus one day at a time and not look too far ahead,” Brania said.

Craig Schurig, head coach for the Ichabods, also has high hopes for the upcoming season.

to excel this fall,” Muema said.

All signs point to a very successful year for the Washburn cross country team, and they appreciate support from the student body this season. The positive momentum generated by players like Muema, as well as the coaches, will have a role in favorable outcomes for the team.

The cross country team will open up its season Sept. 1 when they are scheduled to compete in the Southern Baptist University Invitational in Bolivar, Missouri.

Golf

Tennis Washburn’s tennis team has come together in full force to face awaiting challenges this season. Many new players fill the ranks of the tennis team with hopes of achieving excellence, motivated by standing alongside experienced college players, such as senior Alejandro Valarezo.

“This year, we’re definitely looking for a conference championship. I’ve been here three years already and this is my last, so that’s my number one goal.

I hope the team will be holding themselves and me accountable for everything,” Valarezo said.

The tennis team certainly has some stiff competition to deal with this season, but if their past record of 14-6 is any indicator, there’s a sure bet that they’re ready to give this season their all. The athletes and coaches are hoping that they can use their momentum from last year to excel this fall.

Head coach Lance Lysaught also expressed desire for his team to succeed this season. He believes that this team is prepared for the competition, referencing that many of his current players are All-Americans.

The improved tennis facilities, brought to Washburn by generous alumni donations, show the large amount of support that the tennis team

has in the community. There are great things expected from the tennis team and the high standards have given them an opportunity to have the privilege of practicing on one of the best places in the area to hone their skills.

“Our tennis facility now is probably, I would say for Division II, one of the best… If you go to the east coast or the west coast you’ll find facilities that are nicer, but our tennis facilities really are almost as nice as they are,” Lysaught said.

He shines light on the group of hardworking newcomers, as well as returning players, like starting junior quarterback Blake Peterson, offensive lineman Kyle Hinton, junior, and senior defensive lineman Austin Tilman. His only wish is to leave players more competitive than he found them.

“We want to see some of the young guys step in and show some competition for the veterans, you want as much competition as you can get on your team,” Schurig said.

Both Brania and Schurig agree that, although they have a tough schedule lined up, the team has outstanding potential to find success in the upcoming season.

The Ichabods will have a chance to showcase all of their hard work when they open up their season Aug. 30 against Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. Their first home game will be at 6 p.m. on Sept. 6 against Northwest Missouri.

The Washburn golf team has five tournaments scheduled for its fall season, but none of these games will be played in Topeka.

Volleyball After spending last fall being focused on overcoming injuries while still claiming a winning season with an overall record of 18-14, the Washburn volleyball team is back and ready to earn more victories.

Head coach Chris Herron centers their projected success around the importance on the health of athletes.

“Until last year, we had been blessed with very few injuries. Then last year, it was like the floodgates opened up. Right now we’re fairly deep at several positions and I want to stay that way,” said Herron.

Shayla Conner, a senior setter for the Ichabods, agrees with her coach about the importance of remaining healthy in order to have a successful season.

The fall season is quickly approaching, and like all other sports, Washburn tennis is set to have its best year yet. Helping lead that charge for the last time as a Washburn Ichabod is senior Ally Burr.

In high school, Burr was a Kansas 5A State Champion her senior year, along with being a four-time state qualifier. At Washburn, she has held a record of 40-42 in doubles and 29-24 in singles.

Burr began her tennis career when she was seven years old, and she has loved the sport ever since. She knew she wanted to continue her career in college, and Washburn was a perfect fit.

“I love everything about Washburn, from the faculty, to the campus, as well as the people that I am honored to call my classmates,” Burr said.

She believes that Washburn helps her, and student athletes like her, succeed in the classroom as well as on the court. Burr has been named on the MIAA Academic Honor Roll throughout her college career.

Despite the pressure from athletics and classes, Burr still finds time to be involved on campus.

She participates in numerous clubs and organizations, such as Students Today Alumni Tomorrow, Student Leadership Council, Leadership Institute,

As for her overall goal, she wants the team to gain a conference championship, then move on to regionals and ultimately compete at nationals.

Burr and her teammates are ready to hit the ground running this season, and hopefully we’ll see them on the nationals court in a few months.

competition. Although, Burr may have found an even better way to train for the upcoming season.

She and her teammate, senior Alexis Czapinski, were able to travel to New York for a different kind of workout. They helped teach a youth tennis camp at Army West Point. There, she was able to help give back to the game she loves and progress even further as an athlete.

“That itself was a great experience, bonding with her [Alexis] and also meeting some really high-level coaches,” Burr said.

As far as the upcoming season is concerned, Burr will be ready to make her senior year one to remember. She is excited to see how the team does this year and believes that this will be the best tennis team she has been a part of since she’s been at Washburn.

“I am looking forward to the chance to compete wearing the name Washburn with my girls one more time… We’ve been on the cusp of achieving some really great things for Washburn, we’re going after it,” Burr said. “I am looking forward to
