A state-of-the-art health care simulation center is set to be unveiled at 3 p.m., Nov. 12 at Washburn Tech. Students at Washburn Tech will learn to use the latest technology and practice their skills on new patient simulators that mimic real-life scenarios with different physical responses. “Our new simulation lab will provide students a safe and realistic environment to experience nursing scenarios,” said Jerry Farley, president of Washburn University. “This opportunity allows them to refine their clinical decision-making skills without adverse consequences, providing them with confidence and promoting patient safety.” To fund the addition, Washburn Tech and the Washburn School of Nursing received a portion of an $11.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor and the KanTrain project. Washburn and three other Kansas colleges received this award to promote training efforts for job-driven skills. The first grant Washburn received from this program was $19.6 million in 2011, awarded to Washburn to advance its manufacturing training department. Washburn Tech’s health care program provides training to students in nine different areas, including certified nurse aide and practical nursing. These programs give students the hands-on education required to be successful in their high-demand careers.

In an email released on Oct. 28, Washburn President Jerry Farley told faculty that Washburn University was accepting the extension granted by a clause of the Personal and Family Protection Act of 2012, which states that colleges don’t have to allow the concealment and carry of firearms on campus until July 1, 2017. After the Personal and Family Protection Act became law in public places in Kansas in 2013, college campuses across the state started to look at their own policies and decide what to do instead of banning all weapons on campus like they did previously. The rule currently in place at Washburn doesn’t allow students to carry any weapons on campus regardless of whether they are concealed or openly carried. Patrick Early, director of university relations, has been gathering information from other campuses around Kansas as well as the Kansas Board of Regents about gun policies. “We’re still in the process of gathering information,” Early said. “We’ve had a number of conversations with faculty and

staff and also the Kansas Board of Regents is creating a policy guide. We’re not a [Kansas] Board of Regents institution, but that’s one of the things we’re looking for as to what our policy should be. At this point we’re still gathering information, basically taking advantage of the provision in the law that extends the exception for universities so we can decide what is in our best interest for long term.” Farley has been looking into the issue. The administration at Washburn has been surveying random groups of students to gain feedback and is planning to take student and faculty opinions into consideration before making its decision. The faculty is being represented in town hall meetings where the administration will survey faculty and staff to find out how they feel about anyone over the age of 21 being able to conceal a weapon at Washburn. Farley and other members of the administration also have been talking to experts and other qualified members of the community, such as police departments, on the issue of guns on campus. “It had been a long standing policy on this campus, and on most other campuses I think,
that we prohibit conceal and carry on campus,” Farley said. “We did it until July 1, 2017 because it’s as long as we can do it. Why did we do it? Talking with people that are really knowledgeable about this like police, and the Washburn University Police Department certainly does feel that it doesn’t improve safety on campus. In fact it may make it a little less safe.” Farley also brought up other concerns about having guns on campus. “We’re concerned about it as well in residence halls,” Farley said. “Some people may be totally uncomfortable with having a firearm in the residence hall.” He continued with other possibilities such as accidental discharge and mentioned other possible security rules that may apply if guns in the residence halls are allowed such as safety locks, secure storage of the weapons and responsible transporting of the weapons. Farley concluded by mentioning the university’s decision is going to be whatever it finds to be safest for students and that safety for all is the main concern.

Washburn University hosts second annual Elevator Pitch Competition Sophia Oswald
WASHBURN REVIEW
Frequent Henderson elevator repairs frustrate students
Graphic by Devin Morrison

WASHBURN REVIEW
Frustrations continue to grow as the east elsevator in Henderson Learning Center underwent repairs last week. The issue lies in how inconvenient it can be for students who need to use the elevator, but can’t. When it’sunder maintenance, students who need the elevator have to use the service elevator in the center of Henderson. Because the east elevator is the public elevator in Henderson, it’s a considerable issue when it is frequently under repair. Jessica Rankin, elementary education and cultural anthropology major, said that the consistent construction is unfair to students who require the use of the elevator. “Every student should be able to access the elevators at all times of the day,” Rankin said. “This has been going on for too long. I find this to be frustrating because it’s unfair for the students who can’t use the stairs to have a more difficult process of getting to class.”
The broken elevators came at an inconvenient time with advising and enrollment this week. Students needed to be able to visit with their advisers to plan their next semester. Brendan Henault, who is pursuing an associate’s degree in design and technology, also finds the consistent repairs frustrating. “We have an elevator in that building for a reason,” Henault said. “I would understand if this was just a day problem, but this is going on much more than a day, which makes this a problem.” The latest round of repairs to the east elevator in Henderson were completed over the weekend. As of Nov. 3, the elevator was in working order again. However, students remain concerned as to the implications these continued repairs have on access and availability.

Washburn University’s second annual Elevator Pitch Competition finals round took place Oct. 29 in the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center. Alumni donated money to this competition to help the winners get started on their work toward their new businesses. Ralph Hipp, an anchor for WIBW, David Price, assistant professor of marketing, and President Jerry Farley all spoke at the event. Zach Haney, winner of last year’s Elevator Pitch Competition, spoke about how the competition helped make his business dream a reality. “There’s a lot of aspects to it,” Haney said. “I mean just being up here getting the experience to stand in front of people and present your business model, it really builds your confidence. The prize money helps too.” “It was a wonderful experience and I’m happy to hear that’s it’s grown the second year,” Haney said. Fifth place went to Cassidy Wines for her business that assists with the start-up of a screen printing business and she was awarded $1,000. Fourth place went to Matthew Palmer, Alex Moorhead and Scott Bucy for their idea for new novelty pajamas. They received $1,000. Third place went to Mark Feuerborn and Kaleb Marconette with their cigar box guitars landing them $2,000. LeighAnn Defendorf, Christina Foreman and Brista Robinson came in second with their idea for a new ice cream cone made out of potato chips. They received $3,000. Kristen Kogl came in first

Activists Unite: Take Back the Night participants begin their march, carrying signs that call for an end to sexual and domestic violence.
Students support survivors at ‘Take Back the Night’ Lisa Herdman
WASHBURN REVIEW
Take Back the Night, an event that gathered participants to march for domestic and sexual violence, was hosted by STAND on Oct. 29 outside of the Memorial Union. Washburn was chosen as one of the 10 schools in the United States to host “Ten Points of Light,” one of the locations that would hold a march followed by a candlelight vigil to promote awareness about both domestic and sexual violence. “It’s great to see people from all walks of life join together on campus to end the stigma that is sexual violence and sexual assault,” said Natalie Engler, sophomore criminal justice major. “We’re trying to erase the stigma of mental illness. It doesn’t need to be kept in the shadows anymore.” Engler also mentioned the presence of the group To Write Love on Her Arms on campus, and encouraged students join and to find others around them to talk to about physical and sexual violence, as well as mental illness. The march started after a performance from the Topeka High drum line. At the front of the march was University President Jerry Farley, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt and YWCA Center for Safety and Empowerment Director Marilyn Ault. The drumline tailed along the back end of the march playing their instruments. STAND, one group that assisted in hosting the event, helped to create and distribute signs for participants to carry in the march around campus. “Take Back the Night is a march and a vigil that helps show support for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It is important especially on college campuses because of the rate of sexual assault found on them,” said Monica McDougal, senior mass media major and STAND member. “It is so important to get this message out – we
shouldn’t be afraid to walk at night.” McDougal said the rate of sexual assault for college-aged women is one-infour, and that any support given to these survivors is important. “This is a serious problem across the entire country. We need to have a change in dynamic, and a change in culture,” said Farley to those in attendance. “It starts with things like this. These programs bring a focus to what the problem is.” Farley mentioned that the university is committed to doing what it can to make circumstances better. The programs that the attorney general is involved in are having a positive impact, and we want to encourage them to continue. After the march, the candlelight vigil included music, apple cider and cookies, and three survivors shared their stories. The participants lit candles and stood in a circle, before putting them into a tub full of sand to show support. Take Back the Night had nine other schools in participation with the event aside from Washburn. Other participants in the Ten Points of Light included Carroll College, Central New Mexico Community College, Claremont College, Fordham University, McHenry County College, Moraine Park Tech, Temple University, Rutgers University, University of North Texas and the University of Washington. “It’s a way for people to share their stories, and know how sacred their story is,” said Molly Walter, senior psychology major and TWLOHA founder. “We can show people that there are resources out there, and that they can get help. They encounter a situation like this and speak up since they know they are supported.” Lisa Herdman, lisa.herdman@washburn.edu, is a senior English and mass media major.

Washburn Review Staff Editor-in-Chief Stephanie Cannon Managing Editor Derek Richardson
Royals take the crown, Ichabods can take the top hat Spirits are soaring high for the Royals right now, as they have given a fantastic performance at the World Series this past weekend, and have brought the crown home to Kansas City this past Monday, Nov 1. A beautiful parade saw crowds flooding Kansas City yesterday, with Mayor Sly James reporting over 800,000 fans were in attendance. That is some real commitment to the team. It’s a great time to be a Royals fan, and a great time to be from Kansas City. This humble city has fostered pride in its fine baseball team for some time now, a pride that has spread across the state of Kansas, and that pride is now nationally recognized. Being a Royals fan, or rather, being Royal, is to be a genuinely great fan in general, and other sports fans could learn a thing or two from them.
Having said that, with the amount of spirit seen on campus for the Royals, it could be something to strive for. Ichabods should give that same kind of spirit they give to the Royals to their college team. Fans of the Royals in recent years have continued to support their team in both the tough times and the good times. This is what differentiates between real fans and those who simply hop on the bandwagon. Even with a loss at last year’s World Series, fans still came together to praise the Royals for a great season. Ichabods could be seen going crazy over the win this past Sunday, and fireworks lit up the Topeka night sky. It is within ourselves to rally not only for the Royals, but for our college teams as well, be it baseball, football, soccer, or any other college sport that the Bods are playing. We
guarantee that a Royal would tell us that they couldn’t do it without the fans cheering them on at every game, and the same could be said of the college players. School spirit is something that can motivate our teams to play some truly great games. It’s certainly within our teams’ power to win. In football for example, the Ichabods last claimed an MIAA championship in 2005, and they’ve made Division II playoffs in two seasons following that. It only makes sense that our student body should be present to share in the joy and pride when we win next. In years to come, we’ll be there when the Royals come to take the crown, and we hope to be there to see our Bods take the tophat too. Free admission at home games is always a plus, too. – The Editorial Staff

Good game Royals, great party fans Mark Feuerborn WASHBURN REVIEW
Stating the obvious, the Royals won the World Series this past Sunday, Nov. 1. Fans across both Kansas and Missouri went wild in celebration, over joyed that they brought home the crown. The best part of this win is the fact that Royals fans have shown undying support, even in the face of a 2014 World Series loss, and that support is now being rewarded. In spite of last year’s loss at the hands of the San Francisco Giants, Royals fans were still proud of their team for working hard enough to make it into the championship. They had good reason, too; the team had a better postseason record than the 2014 winners of the World Series. The fans recognize that the Royals work hard, and

even if they lose, the fans know the players did their absolute best. I can’t say the same about Mets fans. In covering the game the following morning, the New York Post headline read: “Mets blow it again, lose World Series; Amazin’ Disgrace.” It would appear as though the entirety of New York is outraged at their team, and every bumble by the team in the game is in the spotlight. Not only have the Royals fans shown support in times both good and bad, they know how to celebrate a win the right way. In 2014, in light of their victory, 40 arrests were made, nine police cars were damaged, and two people were shot in San Francisco. Comparatively, Chief Darryl Forte of the Kansas City Police Department tweeted “No fights or arrests during
celebrations. Exactly what we expected from our community. Great job by all.” Royals fans across Kansas continued to show good sportsmanship throughout festvities today, the only exception being at KU, where students tore down the football stadium goal post and dragged it to a lake for some reason, causing $10,000 worth of damage overall. Jayhawks will be Jayhawks. Granted, our rowdy Lawrence neighbors’ misbehavior still doesn’t quite compare to a San Francisco riot. Keep it up Royals fans, this is how baseball should be done.

Tied at 11-11, the Ichabods went on a run and took the lead with a score of 16-13. NWMSU rallied back to tie it at 17-17. Two kills from Korie Thompson put the Ichabods ahead by three with a score of 20-17. From there, NWMSU tried to battle back for the win, but was unsuccessful, handing the Ichabods the final win of the night with a score of 25-23. “Well the end of conference is coming up and all the games left are very important! The game against Western was a very important game because Western
was one of the top teams in conference that we had to eat in order to move up,” said Thompson on behalf of the weekends games. “So we came prepared and were locked in the whole game and wanted to beat them in three and we did! The next couple of weekends are just as important so we can win conference,” said Thompson. The Ichabods finished the weekend playing Missouri Western on Saturday. During the first set of the night, the Bods were ahead 6-4 when they let the Griffons take the lead with a 5-0 run that put the score at 9-7. The points went back and forth until the score reached 12-10. With a block assist from Kelsey Barrick and Sarah Vicory, the Ichabods regained the lead 14-13. After a Griffon timeout, the Griffons ascended back to take a lead of 18-17, but soon the Ichabods built back up to take the lead, 21-18. The Ichabods closed the set on a high note with a score of 25-19. The Ichabods opened the second set of the night with a 9-3 lead. The Griffons finally called a timeout, which led them to 11-10 lead. Tying it at 12-12, the Ichabods called a timeout to regroup and figure a new game plan. The Griffons pulled away to put the score at 18-16. The Ichabods went on a run to take the win of the second set with a block assist from Swan and Taylor Selk with a score of 25-20. The third set hit a tie at 9-9. After an Ichabod timeout, Washburn came back with a score of 14-12, forcing the Griffons to call a timeout. The Ichabods closed the set with a score of 25-20, claiming the match in a sweep. The Ichabods return to Lee Arena next weekend for the final two home games in the regular season, hosting Lindenwood at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 and Central Missouri at 3 p.m. Nov. 7.

‘Into the Woods’ deserves a moment in the spotlight
Dylan McManis
WASHBURN REVIEW
A traditional broadway staple, “Into the Woods” is a piece that has been performed by everyone everywhere. A large scale play in two acts that are hard to squeeze down to a size below two hours and 45 minutes, the play is logistically difficult to pull off on any size of stage. Washburn, however, pulled it off. The play will take place this weekend on Nov. 6, 7 and 8 as well as on Nov. 12, 13, 14 and 15 in the Andrew J. and Georgia Neese Gray Theater inside of Garvey Fine Arts center. What the Ensemble could pull off in the little parts of the show, they did. For those who don’t know, the Narrator actually plays a crucial role in “Into the Woods”, and making him turn off his phone at the beginning as a suttle indicator to me that I should turn off mine so I could enjoy the performance was subtle brilliance. The tree meant to represent Cinderalla’s actual mother being played by an actual person? It’s these little things that made me giggle a
little bit in excitement of the show. The show typically involves a large movable set that sets the stage to augment the actors’ performance. But this show didn’t need that. Instead, the set was made up of multiple movable, see through, metal stands that allow you to see the entire stage but still let the set crew adjust the stage during the show. By the way, that set crew? Besides the supporting actors controlling bird puppets, the set was changed seemlessly and made no infraction on the show’s actual performance. Now let me be clear for any of you who think that watching the movie version of “Into the Woods” is even moderatly acceptable: it’s not. The main reason why you need to see an “Into the Woods” show in person? Because there is something about great singing being performed in person that is absolutely breathtaking. The “Into the Woods” main theme is as always upbeat and this particular cast makes me wish I could get up and prance around on stage with them. “Agony” is supremely

chilling, while its reprise later on certainly gives a comedic feel with how seriously the two princes take the song that is essentially how they wish to get the girl, and then want to get a new girl. Princes, never can trust them. And it’s more than the songs that bring out such a vast amount of emotion from the actors, the emotions from certain actors such as Little Red Ridinghood and the Baker’s Wife made them stand out above the rest. Even the witch felt particularly alive with energy, wether she was being angry or remorseful. But the show isn’t getting five stars. It’s getting four. But before the questions start, here is my complaints. The Baker, one of the shows main characters sounds like he is asking a question whenever he speaks, his voice trailing off even in the middle of songs. The attitude in this show is great, and although he is an amazing singer, Jack feels more like a sassy college student than he does a naive young man when he speaks with others, especially his mother. And if that wasn’t enough, the show still couldn’t get over the main humps of “Into the Woods”, feeding large items to a fake cow, when something would happen on stage and we would hear about it, but wouldnt’t see it on stage, and the cumbersome awkwardness that accompanies the second act. Loved the show, now go watch it!

Concert highlights high school singers

WASHBURN REVIEW
This week, White Concert Hall hosted its 43rd Annual High School Showcase Concert, sponsored by the Civic Music Club of Topeka and Washburn University as a benefit for the Stacie Beavers Scholarship. There was a six dollar admission cost to raise money for the scholarship. The purpose of this concert was to showcase each intermediate singing group from the local high schools. There was no formal judging, the concert was purely for entertainment and to allow the groups to show off what they have been preparing for the upcoming competition season. In total, nine local choral groups performed at this event. The event preceded with a guest appearance from the Washburn Singers, directed by Dr. Kevin Kellim, and then followed by the Hayden Singers to kick off the event. Each group sang two to three different arrangements to show off their unique styles and ranges. The music varied greatly between uptempo, high energy pieces to slower, softer arrangements. The wide variety of genres and tempos present at the concert kept the audience engaged and
entertained. “I think all of the groups did a great job, and I really enjoyed how each song every school sang really contrasted with their other choice of song,” said Sydney Heinen, freshman undeclared major. “It helped show a range of style and it kept the concert interesting.” The high school groups ranged from freshmen and senior performers, and all were coed. Each of the choral positions – soprano, alto, tenor and bass– were achieved in this concert. People of all ages attended, from family and friends of the performers, to Washburn and local high school alumni. Many current Washburn music students were in attendance as well to show their support for the visiting groups. Many thought the concert went very well, as there were several standing ovations for soloists and outstanding choral performances. “I was surprised by the concert tonight. Every school was great,” said Paul Cabili, Topeka High School sophomore. “They all performed really well. It is difficult to pick a favorite group or piece from tonight.” Shayndel Jones, shayndel. jones@washburn.edu, is a freshman mass media major.

New photography professor lights up first semester Lisa Herdman
WASHBURN REVIEW
Most students have yet to meet Danielle Head, the new assistant photography professor who has brought her own artistic flair and inspiration to the university this semester. Head has been teaching at the university level for four years now. She attended Hampshire College for film, photography and video, and Indiana University for a Master of Fine Arts degree. She plans to introduce Advanced Digital Photography in the spring semester of 2016 to add to Washburn’s traditional wet photography practices. “Washburn is my full-time commitment, and I plan to stick around,” Head said. “I really love the area and all of the students I have been able to work with so far. It has been a really positive experience.” Before coming to Washburn, Head taught in graduate school. Indiana University invited her back to do some adjunct teaching after she graduated. “In my classes, I emphasize students developing their own voice,” Head said. “I’m here to help them express themselves and their ideas, and validate those ideas.” Head said that it was her interest to work with students and that she loves to see how other people’s minds work and help them articulate that through art. She is interested in helping students mix me-
dia as well and discover their own technique. Her work tends to be a mix of media– mixing sculpture, installation and photography. “Knowing that both traditional and digital practices are relevant today, my approach to photography is combining past, present, new and old techniques,” Head said. “Even if you’re working with film, you can relate it to contemporary subject matter, get immersed in your content and bring in other media to create work.” Head explained that in a lot of her work she thinks about how photography mediates our understanding of the past and historical events. She uses photography to create documentations of the past, but she incorporates fake or created objects, playing around with the idea of fact versus fiction. “Usually when we see a photograph we tend to believe it as true, and in my work I like to subvert that,” Head said. “I think by incorporating other aspects, it expands that fictional reality that I’m creating.” One series Head has created is “Within and Without,” featuring Oswald, a man that she has made up. Her photographs depict fake memorabilia of this artist. However, she intends the photograph to look like it was taken of a real collabora-

tion of objects from the past. Some of her work is currently displayed in Hampshire College as an alumni program, and the “Within and Without” series will be displayed at Washburn on Nov. 6 at the Mulvane Art Museum along with other faculty work. “I want students to know that it is important to really explore and identify your inspirations and influences,” Head
said. “The best work gets created when you’re exploring your own vision. What makes creative work unique is what the person brings to it.” Lisa Herdman, lisa.herdman@washburn.edu, is a junior English and mass media double major.
Bradley Cooper’s ‘Burnt’ leaves bland aftertaste Colleen Kelly
WASHBURN REVIEW
If there is one thing to take away from this, it’s that Bradley Cooper is a very charming man. “Burnt” follows the story of Adam Jones, an up-and-coming chef with a big reputation. The movie opens several years after Jones’ chaotic lifestyle lead him to lose his restaurant. In hopes of rebuilding his shattered life and career, he moves to London and starts working at a new restaurant with dreams of opening his own one day. This film did one thing beautifully and that’s food. There was such a love for the culinary arts present, from the way each dish was cooked and presented to the honest look into the pressures and competitiveness of the restaurant game. What bothered me, though, was the fact that the audience was just expected to believe that Jones (Bradley Cooper) was some culinary genius. Yes, the dishes he presented looked great and every-
one made happy faces when they ate this. If not for him, this film would have them, but I never bought it. crashed and burned. It would have been great to hear the Helene (Sienna Miller), Jones’ love characters talk about their dishes, what interest and sous chef, was incredibly worked and what didn’t. Instead, we interesting and brought a powerful presgot cheesy montages and a lot of shal- ence to the screen.

Don’t just tell me interesting character arc of the entire someone is awesome at their job, prove film, why wasn’t she the main character? it. There was certainly enough potential. Our protagonist Jones was all right, This was not a poorly made movie. The but he was a cliche like the rest of the acting was impressive and the film was story.

It was just boring to watch. I cared about Jones to some small degree, and he made me smile once or twice, but I chalk all of that up to Cooper’s talent. A seasoned actor (pardon the Colleen Kelly, colleen.kelly@ pun) like him is hard not to love, even washburn.edu, is a junior seconday in a role as simplistic and predictable as English education major.
