Construction of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s Forensic Science Center project was approved in the 2013 legislative session, with approval from Washburn University, the Department of Administration, Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the City of Topeka and the Topeka Public Building Commission. Locating the KBI Forensic Science Center on Washburn’s campus benefits the criminal justice and forensic chemistry programs already offered at Washburn, in addition to allowing new programs in biology, digital forensics and forensic anthropology to be added to the curriculum. The new laboratory and its location will enhance the ability to train, recruit and employ students in the scientific disciplines and retain them in Kansas.
“We are hoping to have Washburn University students work with KBI. We know they have a strong science background here at Washburn, which we love,” said Mike Van Stratton, adjunct and lab director of the KBI. “It gives more opportunities to Washburn University students.” The KBI serves more than 400 local law enforcement agencies in every part of the state. Those agencies rely on the results of KBI examinations to assist the Kansas criminal justice system in keeping the citizens of Kansas safe. The lack of forensic science laboratory capacity was delaying investigations, allowing criminals to continue to commit crimes against innocent citizens. Building the Forensic Science Center provides the KBI a state-of-the-art laboratory focusing on efficiency, safety and functionality. Through the careful application of architecture, laboratory design
and space planning, the new facility improves productivity and increases capacity to process cases. The new laboratory allows for staff growth projected twenty years into the future. As the demand for scientific examination continue to grow, this facility will allow the KBI to take advantage of new technology to better serve law enforcement agencies. The building provides over 60,000 square footage of modular laboratory space for the KBI’s ten distinct investigative units including analytical chemistry, biology (DNA) and digital forensics. State of the art chemistry and biology teaching and student/faculty research laboratories will support Washburn’s growing forensic science programs. A 100seat, multipurpose auditorium provides a flexible venue for
Local law enforcement used flag football to raise money for the Kansas special olympics during their 12th annual Battle of the Badges event on Nov 8. Every year, the Topeka Police Department and the Topeka Fire Department compete in a game of flag football in order to raise money for Kansas special olympics. This year, they decided to bring in the Shawnee county Sheriff’s office as well as the Kansas Highway Patrol. Originally a controversy over members of the flag football team moving over to the other offices, having two more teams allowed the event to become a tournament instead of a singular game. “It started as just a friendly fun competition to bring the two departments together,” said Sgt. Jayme Green of the Topeka Police Department. “It lets us know we’re not as young as we used to be. Take an afternoon to play a game of flag football and then we usually go out to Glory Days Pizza afterwards.” In the first round of the tournament, the Topeka Fire Department beat the Topeka Police Department 14-6, and BATTLE: continued on page 3

Washburn SAAC hosts dodgeball tournament for philanthropy
For more information, please contact the Washburn SAAC at washburnsaac@gmail.com.
Washburn Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is hosting a dodgeball tournament in support of Make-A-Wish, an organization that is dedicated to granting the wishes of children faced with life-threatening medical issues. The tournament will take place on Nov. 22 at 3 p.m. in the Student Recreational and Wellness Center. The teams can be co-ed and consist of up to seven team members. It costs $35 to register a team for the tournament. Registration, consisting of both the team’s name and a list of the teammates, must be emailed to washburnsaac@ gmail.com by 10 p.m. on Nov. 20. Upon receiving the registration information, the team will be sent a waiver that needs to be signed by all members of the team and brought to checkin, which will start at 2 p.m. on Nov. 22. Teams who do not bring a waiver signed by each teammate will not be allowed to participate. The tournament will follow a bracket with each team playing the best three out of five games. The games will have a time limit of five minutes. Participants may collect dodgeballs from the center of the court once the horn sounds, but they must wait ten seconds before throwing them. If a person is hit below the neck, then they are out. If a participant catches a dodgeball, then the person who threw it is out. Dodgeballs may be used to block. For every $5 donation after the initial $35 registration fee, a team member will receive “an extra life.” There is a prize for the winner of the tournament. All proceeds from the tournament will go to Make-A-Wish.

washburnreview.org KBI: continued from page 1 education, training and outreach. Additionally, Washburn University will enhance their forensic science program which include criminal justice, forensic anthropology, digital forensics, chemistry, and biology. The working relationship with Washburn University is reinforced by the visual connection between the teaching laboratories on the second floor and the KBI’s labs and offices on that same level. Washburn students will be able to see Forensic Examiners at work employing many of the same instruments and techniques that they are being taught to utilize. “I think that the addition of the building will increase the number of students that apply to Washburn, especially forensic chemistry majors. One of the reasons that I applied was that I knew about the construction of the building,” said Michaela Miller, freshman chemistry major with an emphasis in forensic chemical science. “The fact that the KBI building is on Washburn’s campus, and that the employees of the KBI will be interacting with students, it gives opportunities for internships in the building.” A dig yard is on site for Washburn’s forensic anthropology program; with the ability to conduct classes to maximize instructor teaching efficiency. Custom graphics were com-
missioned for each lab to represent what the specialties and techniques of each lab section are. These graphics both serve as wayfinding and visually brighten the laboratory for the benefit of the day to day occupants. An RF shielded room (commonly called a Faraday box) is provided to allow the examination of connected devices such as cell phones and tablets. This room eliminates the possibility of remotely accessing devices that are being examined. Lighting was carefully selected to provide the right intensity that the KBI’s examiners need to carry out their daily work. Specialty lighting fixtures support a variety of examinations; from reviewing the color differences between two nearly identical pills to illuminating the underside of a vehicle for evidence. A Crime Scene Reconstruction room is displayed immediately adjacent to the main lobby. This room will allow the KBI to reconstruct a crime scene for many different purposes, including education, training, and blood splatter pattern identification. Its configuration; immediately adjacent to the lobby with large viewing windows; allows for the possibility of educational use by Washburn University or other agencies without necessitating access to a secure area. The building is designed to facilitate a range of highly sophisticated scientific equipment,
including a scanning electron microscope capable of magnifications up to 100,000x, genetic analyzers, mass spectrometers, and robotic devices to increase the efficiency of DNA analysis. The new facility has a commitment to energy efficiency with 23 percent reduction in energy consumption over baseline building, high performance envelope, generous natural light, high-efficiency lighting with occupancy controls, laboratory ventilation tuned by needs for each use, low flow variable-air-volume distribution with hot water reheat, two lab air handling units with 100 percent outside air, heat pipe heat recovery with bypass for recovery of lab exhaust energy to precondition outside air, two office air handling units with return air, high efficiency centrifugal chillers with variable speed drives and variable volume distribution pumping, cooling towers provided with VFD fan motors, and manifold lab exhaust-variable volume lab exhaust system limits the outside air required to be conditioned. “The concept for the new building is to serve the KBI and open opportunity to collaborate with Washburn University, and between the two, provide students with the forensic science field,” said VanStratton.

The final match was held pitting the winners of the two matches, the Fire Department and the Sheriff’s office, against each other. At the end of the day, the Topeka Fire Department came out on top, winning 12-0. The event also had several important guest groups show up. A group of local special olympics participants performed on the sidelines of the games as cheerleaders. The local special olympics softball team was recognized for their accomplishments during one of the halftimes as well. And,
during the halftime of the final game, the Topeka High drum line performed. “We also run the torch run in the spring to raise money for special olympics. We have a good crowd this year, but we would always like to get more people out here,” said Sgt. Kiley Rice of the Shawnee county Sheriff’s office.

President Obama is taking steps to close Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, but Kansas Senator Pat Roberts has threatened to put a hold on an appointee of President Obama if he follows through with the closing of the long standing prison. “For good or bad, the US Senate has to approve appointees and the senate has given individual senators something called the power to put a hold on appointees,” said Bob Beatty, professor of political science. “The Senate guards its power zealously, and individual senators can say ‘I want a hold on this appointee’, and they don’t have to give a reason. The leadership will generally respect that. That being said, I think if he wants to put a hold on this, it’ll definitely happen because the republicans control the Senate.” “The only thing the President can do is when the Senate is out of session, the President appoints the person, and they would get to have the job until the end of the next session,” said Beatty. “It’s called a recess ap-

Topeka honors veterans with third annual parade Andrew Shermoen
WASHBURN REVIEW
Topeka held its third annual Veterans Day Parade Saturday, Nov. 6, near the State Capitol building. The parade was sponsored by Military Veterans Project with help from other organizations such as Target and NuSound Hearing, and featured flags that lined the streets of the parade route, several parachutists with colored smoke, and army vehicles of all forms, including a tank and an infantry band. There were even several civil institutions dedicated to the military and veteran affairs. This included groups such as the Civil Air Patrol, the American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America, Women Veterans Health Care, and Topeka West Army JROTC. All these groups were followed by servicemen and women in uniform. Amongst them all was Bob Bach who was participating for the third year in a row. The 89-year-old World War II veteran was in his own car with his name plastered on the side. He began serving when he was 17 years old. There were several participants from the community who were showing their support of veterans and veteran services as they passed out candy on decorated floats and trailers. The Beverly Bernardi Post Conservatory of Dance had students performing dance routines

in red, white and blue. Topeka Metro decorated one of their busses with American flags and changed its destination sign to read “Thank You Veterans!” A van pulled a trailer advertising Washburn Law School, and affiliates handed out fliers advertising pro bono legal help for veterans. There was also a car campaigning for Bernie Sanders with people distributing fliers and candy detailing Sanders views on veteran assistance.
There were also several veteran specific groups at the parade, including a veterans-only biker group. Many veterans had driven out to view the parade wearing their uniforms and other clothing that denoted them as having served. These veterans were often stopped and told “thank you” by strangers. Several of the veteran attendees waved and shouted cheerily to friends participating in the parade. For many of the veterans, this was a good time to get together
with family. “The kids can see what the veterans do for us,” said John Lopez, a marine veteran who served for seven years. Many veterans were proud of the work put into the parade, and that it was important to see how many people supported them and were thankful for what they had done. Cailey Sanders, a freshman music education major who attended the parade said, “I feel like we could show more appreciation towards veterans;
they don’t get recognized very much.” Students and veterans feel the importance and the weight of both the city and the organizations who helped to organize this event. The citizens of Topeka put the parade on because they believe in the importance of the men and women who have served this country.

Mizzou: A test of the student’s power, and free speech Protests at the University of Missouri over racist hazing of the university’s African American students have sparked national attention, and the media has flocked to continue to update the nation on the situation. Students aligned with protest group Concerned Student 1950 and petitioned the president of the University, Tim Wolfe, to help solve racism on the school’s campus. During the school’s homecoming parade, protesters ran out to block the president’s car and voice their concerns to him. Wolfe did not respond to them. The student body president Payton Head then came forward with news that that Wolfe had smiled and laughed during the protest. “He laughed. In our faces. This is your president. This is America. 2015,” said Head. Following this, Con-
cerned Student 1950 came forward demanding an apology and the resignation of Wolfe, but no immediate response from the university administration was given. Reports indicate Wolfe later met privately with the group, but refused to meet their demands. It was discovered afterwards that a student used feces to smear a swastika in one of the residence halls on Oct. 24, and soon after graduate student Jonathan Butler began a hunger strike. The situation escalated when Wolfe’s response to a protester’s question led them to believe that he was blaming them for systematic opression. The football team promptly announced they would not play until Wolfe resigned, putting a one million dollar contract for a game at Arrowhead Stadium at risk. Wolfe announced his resignation a day later.

coming legal to carry on campus, and as of late, my fellow Ichabods, it’s not looking very good. Before I begin, I must remind all of us that it is not the fault of the universities, but the state government that this is now an issue. Governor Sam Brownback signed the bill that will soon go into effect, endangering us all. Thanks Brownback. The new weapons policy has a few main points, including completely prohibiting open carry of any weapon on campus, both in outdoor and indoor areas. Also, all individuals 21 and older may carry a concealed weapon to any location on campus. The only exception seems to
be when the building does not permit concealed carry for security reasons. In any case where such building exists, proper secure storage must be provided for weapons in that building. I’ll point out here that this specifies nothing for dormitories. Weapons are also not to be displayed in any situation except cases of self-defense or transfer to storage. Pretend for a moment that this all doesn’t sound absolutely nuts, and from a security standpoint, let’s think about where the policy currently seems to be taking us. The language conveyed in this new policy seems to focus predominantly on reactive measures, as opposed to preventative. I know for a fact that if I were in the position to do so, I would abolish the new policy in a heartbeat. There’s no good way to
pitch students on a campus carrying weapons, and in cases where students have been armed when a school shooting has occurred, it has done nothing for the situation. Take for example, the Umpqua Community College shooting this past year. It has been documented that multiple students on the campus were armed, and didn’t attempt to stop the shooter because they were afraid of being mistaken for the shooter themselves. If we can’t stop guns coming to campuses, at least utilize them in a preventative manner. The legislation should prohibit concealed carry, not open carry, and allow students to use deterrence to prevent shootings from happening in the first place.

Apps for success Shayndel Jones
WASHBURN REVIEW
Mobile applications have changed the way people receive information. Aside from the typical gaming apps, there are also apps that can help students survive college, such as study apps like Quizlet and money saving apps like RetailMeNot. Study apps can help students study individually and in groups while learning good study habits to succeed in college. Apps such as Skype and Quizlet have helped many students prepare for exams and presentations. Many think Skype is only a communication app, but because of Skype’s features such as text chat, video chat, video and file sharing, it can also be a study app. When it’s late, cold outside or students are studying last minute for an exam and need something from a classmate, Skype can be a saving grace. It allows users to chat with others while they send files, and once the file has been downloaded, users can help one another decipher their handwriting so they can actually use the notes. Quizlet is a general study tool that features millions of flash-

It includes hundreds of practice questions, flashcards, inapp purchases and almost 600 study lessons. Dragon Dictation uses accurate voice recognition software to instantly change spoken word into text. This works well if a student is in a time crunch and needs to quickly write an essay. Money-saving applications are helpful when students are beginning to learn how to budget their money and handle their bank accounts and finances. Walmart Savings Catcher is used by creating an account at Walmart.com; shoppers then enter their Walmart receipt number and the date of their visit.

Finding that ideal person to spend time with and get to know better is a thought on the minds of many Washburn students. Dating has become a prevalant lifestyle that constitutes for a percentage of many students’ time and energy during their college years. Natalie Bates, junior finance major, and Carson Roberts, junior finance and economics major, have been dating for nearly two years since they met through mutual friends at a party. Due to the stress already present on the shoulders of students, many college couples struggle to maintain a healthy balance between all the areas of their lives, including a romantic relationship. “We have kept a really good balance between our relationship, school and the sports we play,” Bates said. “I think it’s a good thing we both play [sports] because we both understand what a big time committment playing a collegiate sport is.” Bates and Roberts have been involved in the Washburn sports department since their freshman year. Roberts is a member of the golf team, while Bates excels on the volleyball team. Attending the same university has benefitted this couple in several ways over the years. Since their majors are so closely related, Bates and Roberts are able to study together as a method of spending time with one another. “I really enjoy going to the same school as Carson,” Bates said. “I can see how some people might like going to different schools to get some space from each other, but Carson and I are very good at hanging out a lot and then giving each other space when it’s needed.” Not every student has the lux-

Halloween candy adds decadence to desserts
Avery Ozier, senior elementary education major, placed all her leftover candy in a bowl by the front door of her apartment. This way she and her roommates could grab some on their way in and out of the apartment. "Surprisingly there is still some candy left in the bowl," Ozier said. "But I'm getting to the most stressful part of my semester, so I'm sure it won't last much longer." Some students thought outside the box when it came to making use of their leftover candy. Indigo Wilson-Schmidt, sophomore English major, used the candy as a replacement for money in some of the card games she played with her roommates.

All of these recipes make use of different kinds of candy left lying around after the holiday.

The most convenient recipe that trimphs over the others in popularity would be candy bark. When baking candy bark there is an abundant amount of flexibility in choosing what kind of candy to use. According to Michelle Buf-
fardi from the Cooking Channel, all you do to make Halloween candy bark is chop up your choice of candy, spread some melted chocolate on aluminum foil and then top off the warm, liquid chocolate with the assortment of chrushed candy. "I think using candy in recipes like this is a good idea," Wilson-Schmidt said. "It's a cool and creative use if you have candy that isn't your favorite." Leftover Halloween candy can be a simple addition to the traditional, go-to recipes like cookies and brownies. These two desserts are delicious on their own, but wouldn't suffer any if they consisted of some M&M's or crushed up Snickers and Butterfinger pieces. So next year if Halloween passes and you end up with uneaten candy, check out some of these creative recipe options, because there's no better way to increase the decandence of a dessert than to add in some extra sugary goodness.

49th annual CMA Awards surprise fans Shayndel Jones
WASHBURN REVIEW
Country stars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood returned as hosts for the 49th annual Country Music Association Awards. They opened the Nov. 4 show on ABC with a lighthearted skit paying tribute to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” “I think the show acknowledges the writers and everyone involved in the making of the music and producing the songs,” said Abby Wiebler, freshman business major. “A lot goes into this business, and it is nice to see the artists get recognized for their hard work.” The show began with a performance from guest artist, John Cougar Mellencamp and Keith Urban singing “Pink Houses” and “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16.” To kick off the awards show, Steve Martin and Edie Brickell presented the Single of the Year award with nominees, “American Kids” by Kenny Chesney, “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town, “I Don’t Dance” by Lee Brice, “Take your Time” by Sam Hunt and “Talladega” by Eric Church. Little Big Town won Single of the Year for the second time.
Following this award, performances by the Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney and Sam Hunt took place on the CMA stage. Darius Rucker and Miss America Betty Cantrell presented the Song of the Year award with nominees “American Kids” by Kenny Chesney, “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town, “Like a Cowboy” by Randy Houser, “Like a Wrecking Ball” by Eric Church, and “Take Your Time” by Sam Hunt. Country artists, Cam and Brett Eldridge presented the New Artist of the Year award. The nominees included Kelsea Ballerini, Sam Hunt, Maddie and Tae, Thomas Rhett and Chris Stapleton. The winner for New Artist of the Year was Chris Stapleton. “This award is a good way for an artist to get out there, and for their fans to gain a better perspective on them as individuals,” said Anastasia Bell, freshman art education major. Following this award, Carrie Underwood performed her new hit single, “Smoke Break,” and then pop sensation, Justin Timberlake and New Artist of the Year award winner Chris Stapleton performed “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Drink You Away” together, which was an
iconic event on the CMA stage this year. Following this performance, Florida Georgia Line performed “Confession.” Cole Swindell and U.S. Women’s World Cup Champions, Heather O’Reilly and Megan Rapinoe, presented the Vocal Duo of the Year award. The nominees included Brothers Osborne, Dan and Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Maddie and Tae and Thompson Square. The Vocal Duo of the Year award went to Florida Georgia Line, which was their third time winning this award. Following this award, Eric Church performed “Mr. Misunderstood,” Thomas Rhett and Fallout Boy performed “Crash and Burn” and “Uma Thurman.” Miranda Lambert performed her single, “Bathroom Sink” from her new album “Platinum.” Jason Aldean performed “Gonna Know We Were Here,” Kacey Musgraves performed “Dime Store Cowgirl.” Dierks Bentley and Lindsey Stirling also performed, and then the pair presented the Outstanding Female Vocalist of the Year award.

da Lambert was the winner. Following this award, three legends with 25 CMA awards between them, Brooks N Dunn and Reba McEntire, performed “Why Haven’t I Heard From You” and “Play Something Country.” The host of CMA’s Country Christmas, Jennifer Nettles, and star of ABC’s “Wicked City,” Erika Christensen presented Outstanding Male Vocalist of the Year. The nominees included Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Blake Shelton and Chris Stapleton. The winner for
Male Vocalist of the Year was Chris Stapleton. Reba McEntire presented the final award of the evening, which was Entertainer of the Year. The nominees included Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, and Miranda Lambert with Luke Bryan concluding the show with his win.
Rhee, played by Steven Yeun, and fans of the show have been searching for clues harder than a dectective. One theory is that Glenn’s companion was the one who had been killed and that the gore was the companion being torn apart on top of him, which he could have escaped by crawling away under a garbage bin nearby. The episode was shown two weeks ago, and since then another episode has aired with the focus on character Morgan Jones. Something subtle about this episode was that Steven Yeun’s name has been removed from the credits. Could this be a sign of death?
Possibly, but “The Walking Dead” theorists on Reddit will continue to find new ways for their favorite character to survive. When asked his opinion on the character Glenn, Colby Nelson, sophomore social work major, stated that he enjoyed the character’s growth throughout the series and his development as a leader. When asked about the show’s off-handed way of killing off main characters, Nelson said, “Wait… is Glenn dead?”

The Walking Dead sparks controversy Quinn Dewey
WASHBURN REVIEW
If anyone who is reading this is a fan of the AMC show “The Walking Dead” and is not caught up with the current season, there is a major spoiler ahead. “The Walking Dead,” a show that aired in 2010, is no stranger to killing off main characters like Hershel Green, played by Scott Wilson or Shane Walsh, played by John Burnshal. This season is geared to be one of the most daring by reintroducing a character from episode one, adding a new antagonist in the form of a rival group called “The Wolves,”
showing a side of the character Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln. that makes the viewer question the morality of his choices. The current season has portrayed a scene of a main character, who has been around since the beginning, possibly being eaten by the Photo courtesy of AMC horde of zombies that surrounded Zombie Attack: ‘Walking Dead’ character, Glenn Rhee, him.

'Peanuts' movie hits Concert showcases local hard with nostalgia youth ensembles' talents
Lisa Herdman

WASHBURN REVIEW
"The Peanuts Movie" has brought an overload of cuteness and epic adventure to theaters. When Charlie Brown notices a red-haired girl that moves in across the street from him, he falls in love. He pushes himself to become a "winner" to catch her eye. Meanwhile, Snoopy writes his own tale on a typewriter about his journey as an aviator to find his true love. The movie had great humor without going into slap-comedy or dumbed-down dialogue. In a few scenes, utter chaos erupts and the situation is funnier than what the character says. One scene in particular had Charlie Brown sliding down a hill uncontrollably on his sled, running through obstacles and somehow ending up back at his house. This comedy reminds me of when this comic first came out, and it put a smile on my face. I was happy to see that the character designs stayed true to the comic's roots, even though they were animated. I was afraid that this movie may become one-dimensional, but it carried itself well and always kept my interest. Snoopy wrote about going on an adventure on his doghouse, and the animation for his story was really well done with some

pretty intense action. The flying scenes added their own quirkiness to the movie. I also was really impressed by the take the movie had on love, making it more than just attraction. The movie stressed the point that being a "winner" is not the same as being a good person, too. It's phenomenal to see all of this in a children’s movie. This movie is full of charm, action and great humor for children and adults alike.

On Nov. 8, White Concert Hall hosted an event that showcased several ensembles of local young musicians. Many of the groups are directed by several Washburn faculty members, including Rebecca Meador, Karen Benda and Erinn Renyer. The program began at 7:30 p.m. and featured various ensembles spanning between middle school and high school students. One group in particular was the Washburn Cello Ensemble, a group of five Washburn students. They performed a beautiful rendition of Astor Piazzolla’s “Libertango,” arranged by Nick Halsey. This performance in particular not only showed off the ensemble’s impressive ability to handle such a difficult piece, but highlighted the high level of talent present that night, as well. The Topeka Youth Flute Choir performed two pieces. The first was simply titled “French Carol,” arranged by Carol Warner. Next, they played a wonderful rendition of the energetic and entertaining “March Militaire” by Franz Schubert, the piece was arranged by T.W. Swayzee. Despite the group being comprised entirely of flute players

and Schubert’s piece having been meant for a full orchestra, their adaptation still managed to capture its energy and excitability. A particularly fun piece was the Clarinet Collective playing “Cantina from Star Wars” by John Williams, arranged by Nathan Koch. Among all of the classical tunes, it was an entertaining surprise to hear the familiar sounds that commemorate Luke and Han Solo’s first encounter. Audience members were invited to take the stage and draw names of several players in the ensembles who received prizes to honor their participation and their musical talents. Music equipment and plaques were also given to students from different schools, and were in-
structed to deliver the gifts to their respective directors. The evening was capped off with the Cello Collective playing two pieces. First they played “Cancion de Suenos” by Carole Neuen-Rabinowitz. They concluded with the boisterous and dramatic “Blue Tango” by Leroy Anderson, arranged by Joan Harrison. The evening was able to showcase the magnificent talent and musicianship both in Topeka and the surrounding area. All of it was made possible through the organization and dedication of Washburn’s highly involved music department.

Mulvane hosts annual ‘Station Eleven’ excels Art Faculty Exhibition in intricate storytelling Shayndel Jones
WASHBURN REVIEW
Washburn began winding down the semester by hosting the annual Art Faculty Exhibition on Nov. 6. The show will run until Dec. 24 at the Mulvane Art Museum and is open to the public. The exhibit began with hors d’oeuvres and featured art pieces from participating full-time, part-time, adjuncts and emeritus art faculty members. Numerous Washburn alumni, students, faculty and Topeka residents alike attended the event to witness the pieces awaiting in Mulvane. Months in the making, the event introduced its audience to the faculty members’ creative lives outside of the workplace. The body of works were displayed beside one another throughout the second floor of the Mulvane. “It’s nice, especially because this is a faculty event, so students get to see that their faculty aren’t just teachers, but they get to see that their faculty are creating and working in the art world if they’re art students,” said Jordan Noller, student success lecturer in Washburn Experience and FYE. “If they
are business majors, they get to see that their faculty are coming from a business perspective. I like that the Mulvane does things like this, because it’s faculty oriented, but also students get to see their faculty in an environment outside of the classroom.” The artwork was created in various media, ranging from three-dimensional designs like Marin Abell’s boat built out of Eurasian Milfoil plants that was turned into a two-headed monster, two-dimensional works such as Ye Wang’s paintings and drawings, or somewhere in between as with Michael Hager’s printmaking and sculpture. “Marguerite Perret’s piece ‘Last Resort’ is such a moving and emotionally stirring piece, and so detailed,” said Julie Velez, senior art major, when asked about a favorite artwork of the night. Much of this year’s art show is dedicated to Washburn University’s Glenda Taylor, former professor and chair of the art department who was killed in a biking accident this past summer.

WASHBURN REVIEW
“Station Eleven” by Emily St. John Mandel is a cutting-edge, poetic novel about the possible apocalyptic future of earth. The story begins with Jeevan, one of the main characters, living in our modern-day world and experiencing a normal life. His life is comprised of the usual: a dispassionate relationship, a mid-life crisis and the longing for a purpose. At this time, the world is quite normal and exposes the superficiality of a normal life. In that beginning scene, the tension starts to rise and you feel a big changes are about to happen. Jeevan is sitting in the audience of a showing of the play “King Lear,” but the production is stopped short by the actor playing Lear, Arthur Leander, having a heart attack. Although Jeevan tries to revive Arthur with CPR, the actor dies. That very same night, the world begins to panic. A sudden violent flu begins to kill off hundreds of people by the hour. Within the next few weeks, only a handful of people are left alive, scattered across the world. About 15 years after the flu began, Kirsten Raymonde, who was a child actor before the collapse, is now with “The Traveling Symphony,” a nomadic band of musicians and actors that perform classical music and Shakespeare for their few fellow survivors. Coincidentally, before the collapse, Kirsten acted in the same play as Arthur Leander. This book chiefly focuses on Jeevan and Kirsten, but it also is focused on exploring other smaller connections across time between primary and secondary characters that they themselves might not even see. The book is an excellently crafted masterpiece. The plot is unpredictable and jumps between time and place between chapters almost confusingly. But as the story progresses, the depth of the story grows, and the thoughtful interconnected character arcs are revealed. The story’s themes deal mostly with the superficiality of modern life, the timelessness of the arts and the ways

Much Deserved Praise: Despite “Station Eleven’” being of an entirely different genre from his home element of fantasy, even the author of the Game of Thrones series, George R.R. Martin, has praise for “Station Eleven”, saying it is “Deeply melancholy, but beautifully written, and wonderfully elegiac . . . A book that I will long remember, and return to,” which is praise that any reader can understand greatly.
in which we affect others. Although the content is only minorly graphic (verbally, violently and sexually), the story still can be difficult to read at times due to the raw emotions and some unhappy truths. This book would appeal to a wide range of readers, particularly those appreciative of arts, theatre or music. “Station Eleven” has the potential to become timeless.

Ichabods hold RiverHawks to record low rushing yards in on-the-road win Lauren Pierce
WASHBURN REVIEW
The Washburn Ichabods (5-5) dominated the Northeastern State RiverHawks (2-8) 35-21 on Saturday in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The Ichabod defense held the RiverHawks to a school-record low -28 rushing yards, and 19 yards of total offense in the second half. Washburn’s record for an opponent low-rushing total is -32 and was set in 1990 against Southwest Baptist. The RiverHawks were the first to score with a 2-yard touchdown run by Cody Busby. Busby took advantage of a pass interference penalty and put the RiverHawks in the lead with three minutes left in the first quarter. In return, Washburn’s Derek McGinnis threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Bryce Chavis that tied the score with 1:22 left in the first quarter. Northeastern State took the lead early in the second quarter with a 31-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Thor
5-5 Long to Matthew Butler. After the ensuing kickoff, Washburn’s offense drove the ball down the field. Northeastern State’s Tony Newman intercepted a Washburn pass and ran it back for a 73-yard touchdown with 4:45 left in first half. No additional points were gained by either team before halftime, leaving the RiverHawks with a 21-7 lead. Washburn’s defense held the RiverHawks to 91 offensive yards in 35 plays in the first half while gaining 148. Washburn’s Brandon Bourbon was next to score with a 2-yard touchdown plunge making the score 14-21 with 2:01 left in the third quarter. During the first play of the fourth quarter, Washburn’s Connor Crimmins caught a 55-yard touchdown pass from McGinnis that tied the score 21-21.
Into The Woods a musical
“My touchdown tied the game,” Crimmins said. “It was a long touchdown so I was excited and I think it got the team excited as well because it gave us a lot of momentum.” After Shay Wooten intercepted a RiverHawks pass, Washburn scored on a 10-yard touchdown pass from McGinnis to Logan Lexow, making it 28-21 with 8:58 left in the fourth. The teams traded punts and with 2:15 left on the clock, Washburn’s Hayden Groves rushed in a 52-yard touchdown for a final score of 35-21. The win puts the Ichabods one game away from the end of their regular season. The Ichabods will honor this year’s 17 seniors in a pregame ceremony this Saturday, as a part of senior day.

WASHBURN REVIEW
On Friday, Nov. 6, the Ichabods swept Lindenwood 3-0 at Lee Arena. The Ichabods came out with a bang in the first set leading the Lions 6-1, then proceeded to stretch the lead to 13-4. As the Ichabods took the early lead, it helped them wrap up the first set with a final score of 25-16. In the second set, the teams were much closer, with the Ichabods up 12-9. A kill from Leanna Willer gave the Bods a run with a score of 18-10. When the Lions stopped the run with two points of their own, the Ichabods answered back with kills from Selk, Thompson and Vicory, putting the score at 23-12. The Lions couldn’t quite catch up to the Ichabods, putting the final score at 25-16. After intermission, the score was tied at 7-7. Back to back kills from Willer, Swan and Barrick gave the Ichabods some breathing room with a score of 14-9. The Lions battled back with a score of 22-20 before Vicory and Willer put up kills to put
26-3 the game at match point. A final kill from Thompson ended the rally, being her third kill of the match.

ri goalkeeper, while two of Central Missouri’s shots were saved by Washburn goalkeeper Kaitlin Minnich. “As a goalkeeper, you are in the back and can see the whole field. Because of that, it is your job to direct your teammates where to go or what to do in certain situations,” Minnich said. Washburn’s Bailey Wobig scored during the 62nd minute off of a drive from Sara Specht to Whitney Skinner, who passed it to Wobig before she scored Washburn’s only goal of the game and final goal of the season. All three women are seniors and the game was their last with the team. During the second half, Washburn took three shots, one of which scored them their goal. Central Missouri on the other hand took 14 shots and didn’t score a single goal with eight of the goals being saved by Minnich. Overall, Washburn scored their single goal off of four shots, while Central Missouri scored two goals off of their 21 shots. While the soccer season may be over, with the team’s 5-8-5
5-9-5 record in the regular season and one loss in the post season, high hopes still remains for next season. With the team’s highest scoring player being freshman Paige Swanson with four points, and a new coach with wins under his belt, Washburn soccer’s future looks bright. “My favorite thing about coaching this team is the personalities of all the girls and their desire to show up every day and compete.” Coach Chris Jones said. “We have something to strive for next year because they know they can do it.” Dylan McManis, dylan. mcmanis@washburn.edu, is a freshman English major.
