WASHBURN REVIEW

Theft is a recurring problem at Washburn University - police report data shows that it accounts for an estimated one-fourth of all crime on campus - and unfortunately exhibits and classrooms in the Art Building are part of this statistic. Various works have disappeared as Senior Exhibits have run their course. As a final project and chance to conduct a professional display, many senior art majors host a Senior Exhibit in the

Art Building. Amber Coultis is one such senior who hosted a show last month called “Duplicate,” which featured conceptual designs including a layout and props from a futuristic space cafe. She reports that some of her pieces were stolen during her exhibit. “My first week, I think it was that Tuesday, one of my lapel pins that I got custom designed for the cafe of its logo was stolen,” Coultis said. “The last Friday of the exhibit, I look up and one of my very first thermoses that I had designed for the project had been stolen.”

Coultis said that she had heard of previous incidents of theft during exhibits and she is frustrated the thefts are continuing. “I spent a whole semester on that project,” Coultis said. “I was a little heartbroken. I put trust in people that they aren’t going to go pick up something from an art exhibit. It’s a sort of respect I don’t think everybody has for art.” As mentioned, Coultis’ experience was not a singular incident. She noted that thefts have also been reported in the Art Building’s classrooms. “Last year, the basic photo

imaging class had these really cool [kaleidoscope] images printed on foam-core, and quite a few of those disappeared,” Coultis said. Harvey Flowers, a student who was in that class, confirmed his foam-core work was taken, as well his backpack at a later time. “Our instructor put them on display in the [upstairs] hallway and a week later it was just gone,” Flowers said. “[Another time] I set my backpack on the floor near a bench to use the restroom, thinking it was safe because ART: continued on page 4

Washburn University saw multiple staff changes since spring break. The university named JuliAnn Mazachek as vice president of the Academic Affairs office, replacing Randy Pembrook, who received a new position as chancellor at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. “I am very pleased that JuliAnn has accepted this new challenge,” said Jerry Farley, president of Washburn University. “She has an extensive knowledge of Washburn and understands both the challenges and opportunities that face us. I think she is an outstanding choice for this critical position leading academic affairs. She has a thorough understanding of the academic community and is totally committed to student success.” Mazachek joined Washburn University in 1998 as assistant professor of accounting and became dean of the Washburn University School of Business. “I am thrilled to have the privilege of working with President Farley, the faculty and staff across the institution as we look at new and innovative ways of providing an outstanding education for our students,” Mazachek said Mazachek later served as president and CEO of the Washburn University Foundation, assuming the role in 2002.

April Flute’s Day brings young musicians to Garvey Jessica Knieff

CONTRIBUTOR

This April Fools’ Day, over 50 youth flute players came to Washburn for the annual April Flutes’ Day, hosted by the WU Flute Association. April Flutes’ Day began in 2006 and brings fifth through 12th grade flute players from the Topeka area to campus to learn. This year the event featured short presentations from members of WUFA, performances from attendees and WUFA students, a masterclass by Mary Holzhausen and crafts. Alicia Schoenberger, WUFA president and junior music education major, has been involved with April Flutes’ Day for three years as a student.

“Although they are different ages and ability levels, April Flute’s Day gives flute students the opportunity to learn and meet new people,” Schoenberger said. Students engaged in activities, coaching sessions and enjoyed a skit about the do’s and don’ts of solo and small ensemble festivals as they prepare for future performances. Many WUFA members are music education majors, so this also gave them experience with teaching students about the principles of flute playing. “The university flute students also have the ability to teach and learn new things themselves,” Schoenberger said. Freshman music education major Michelle Sieve has experienced April Flutes’ Day both as

an attendee and now as a member of WUFA. “Starting in sixth grade, I attended almost every year through my senior year of high school,” Sieve said. “My senior year I performed a solo for the group coaching sessions that helped me to prepare for solo/small ensemble festivals.” For the past three years, attendees have made charms for their flute cases, and Sieve says she still has all three of them on her flute case. She belives her positive experiences at April Flutes’ Day influenced her decision to attend Washburn. Music Professor Rebecca Meador, helped bring April Flutes Day to campus. “In the end, we are trying to create a sense of community so

Washburn Dancing Blues win national championship Yash Chitrakar

WASHBURN REVIEW

Angie Price, coach of the Washburn University Dancing Blues, holds the philosophy that a dancer should always aim to give the performance of a lifetime. This approach led the Washburn University Dancing Blues to win the American Dance and Drill Team Collegiate National for the third time Mar. 25. “Dance should be entertaining,” Angie Price said. “It should be precise and the dancers must have perfect coordination.” The Dancing Blues are a dance group who perform dance styles like pom, jazz, hip-hop and contemporary. Their primary mission is to serve the university and the community. They have performed in six football and 23 basketball games in the past year. Apart from games, they busy themselves with other events that include Traditions Night, Homecoming and more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------

They also do charitable work, such as encouraging runners in the Heart Walk, an event that raises funds to save people from heart disease and stroke. They give children opportunities to dance through various programs, while raising donations for organizations like the Capper Foundation, an organization that helps children with disabilities. The Dancing Blues started preparing for the competition in the summer of 2016, with a dance routine by Josie Price Dease, choreographer. The Dancing Blues practiced for more than 200 hours for the competition. “The rigor of the practices was such that each member had to know the dance by heart,” Angie Price said. “So, if I woke someone up at two in the morning, she had to be able and ready to perform the dance. “ The group competed in two categories, the hip-hop category and the open category, in the coliseum-like hall of University of North Texas.

had for dancing. “It’s nice to win, but it’s nicer when you love what you do,” Angie Price said. Yash Chitrakar, yash.chitrakar@washburn.edu, is a freshman English major.

ART continued: department calls for extra security of the security cameras. I forgot to grab it when we went to class and realized maybe an hour later that I had left it in the hallway. I went back and it was gone.” Jessica McAtarian also reported that her guestbook for visitors to sign was taken during her December exhibit, “A Muse of Fire.” “I had a small, leather-bound sketchpad for guests to sign,” McAtarian said. “I came in one morning and the journal was missing. I had to go get another one, and ask previous guests to resubmit their comments.” Michael Hager, assistant professor of the art department, said that the art department is aware of the thefts and notes the incidents occur at random in the building throughout the years. “It’s a hallway gallery, which is nice because we get a lot of people looking at art, but you’ve got the flipside of that: an open building is an unsecure building,” Hager said. “It is a balance that changes. Sometimes we have no problems at all, and sometimes we have two or three semesters where a lot of things happen at once.” He said the faculty have even had tools and art stolen from their classrooms.

Stolen: Amber Coultis designed a thermos, left, and lapel pins, center, for a futuristic diner she called “Tomorrow Cafe.” Both items went missing during her exhibit, and she reports game boxes she designed were also rummaged through. Harvey Flowers’ foam-core skull print series, right, was taken from a display in the upstairs hallway.

“Our cabinet that holds all our tools was open, and on the floor was the lock that had been cut,” Hager said. “All the tools were there except one cordless drill and its case, and a reciprocating saw.” McAtarian noted she knew of similar incidents. “I’ve heard complaints from teachers and students alike that finished ceramic pieces, paintings and prints are stolen at the end of the semester off the shelves,” McAtarian said. Hager said that for a long time, the Art Building did not have security cameras, but cameras were installed when

a television was stolen from a wall in the Art Building hallway. He indicated this security is vital for students with exhibits to have an effective education. “It’s our capstone,” Hager said. “Having a gallery space specifically for the students is a must. It’s looked at also as a very good and essential recruiting tool [for incoming students].” Now, he believes further security measures may be necessary that may reduce the interactivity of exhibits. Disabling 24-hour access for art students may also be a last re-

sort if rate of theft increases. “When Amber had those pieces taken, it was kind of a wake up call,” Hager said. “There’s going to be only one solution to that, and that’s putting them under glass cases.” Coultis said that she would like to see more support from the university for security. “[The cameras] came out of the art department budget from what I understand, rather than the university paying for it,” Coultis said. Alexis Simmons, the newly elected president of the Washburn Student Government Association, gave a statement

today with a plan of action to combat theft in the Art Building. “We are very glad students reached out to us about this,” Simmons said. “We plan to meet with WUPO and the art department to talk with them about student safety concerns within the Art Building. Students should feel their work is adequately respected, and part of that is going to be satisfactory security measures. We have no doubt the university will work with students to resolve this problem.” Coultis also advised victims of theft in the Art Building to take action. “I don’t think people understand that they can go to the police department on campus and report the thefts,” Coultis said. Ultimately, Hager said that choosing interactivity or security in an exhibit is the artist’s call, and to know the risks. “Where is the balance? There’s no answer to that,” Hager said. “You have to be aware that [art] is something other people want. If they want it bad enough, they will break the law to get it.” Mark Feuerborn, mark.feuerborn@washburn.edu, is a junior mass media major.

STAFF continued: affairs, treasurer, director confirmed to work with the foundation until a successor is determined. Jim Martin agreed to officially take on the role of vice president of administration and treasurer. Martin held the position in interim after Rick Anderson received a position at the University of Texas in Rio Grande Valley. “In today’s environment in public education, finance and business operations play a critical role and it was imperative that we have just the right person for this position,”

Farley said. “Jim has corporate, teaching and university business experience. I have enjoyed working with him these past six months. He has proven to be a great leader. We are extraordinarily fortunate to have someone of Jim’s stature and experience and I am pleased that he has agreed to continue to serve the university in this role.” Martin formerly acted as senior vice president of Westar Energy, Inc. before coming to Washburn. He is also the

Henrietta and G.W. Snyder Jr. Professor in the School of Business. “As an alum, I was very excited when the School of Business asked me to teach here in 2004,” Martin said. “In August of 2016, when I initially accepted the interim vice president’s position, I made one of the stipulations that I could continue teaching, albeit fewer classes. I am fired up about the chance to work with Dr. Farley on some of the challenges facing Washburn today. I

am equally fired up about the chance to continue teaching at a university that values good teaching.” Blake Cauble-Johnson joined the Washburn University family as director of the Student One Stop. Cauble-Johnson served as the Director of Strategic Growth for the real estate office, Re/Max Infinity. He also has former university experience as Assistant Director Of Financial Aid and Scholarships for the University of Kansas. He was an Attorney

at Law for Oleen Law Firm. “We are looking forward to Blake’s leadership and service in support of student success,” said Richard Liedtke, executive director of enrollment management. “Take a moment to stop by and say hello and welcome Blake Cauble-Johnson to our Washburn family.” Ryan Thompson, john.thompson2@washburn.edu, is a senior English major.

One in a millenial odds Creators leverage their platform for voice

Alex M. Hounchell

WASHBURN REVIEW

It feels like everyone in their mid-20s has dabbled in one creative form of expression or another. People have created YouTube channels and uploaded content. They have instagram accounts to show off their photography skills. They have a blog to show their ability to write. I believe this drive comes from the times we live in. As a traditional college student, I’m constantly bombarded with negativity. Today on the news, there

was a shooting. Tomorrow, it’ll likely be the same. I’ve come to expect the negativity. Just like I’ve come to expect that I may never have enough resources to do all the things I’ve dreamed of. At the same time, it feels as though my voice is never heard. I’m not sure if my voice is unheard psychologically or if it is because people much older than me are in positions of power. On top of that, in this day and age, information can be shared on a dime. I get notifications on the moment my favorite YouTuber uploads a video or my favorite actor sends a tweet. In this age, anything can change in a moment. An idea can trend instantly and anyone’s idea can

trend. We desire to be creators because it feels like we are all lost. Maybe in different ways, but still. Considering most people never make it into the entertainment industry, why would they try? Why would someone continue to upload videos to YouTube if only a maximum of 8 people ever see them? The answer is, creating isn’t just about the audience. People in their 20s desire to have their voice out there. The internet itself gives instant access to people who share our ideas. As a generation, we continue to be paid a minimum wage that doesn’t make sense anymore. We go to college in the hopes that we can make

Bods on the Block

enough money for survival. The sad fact is, we may never do that, because the world doesn’t make sense numerically. It makes sense then that we would seek to be creators. Creators are paid by the quality of their work through ad revenue, Patreon and products. This is one of the workarounds for traditional college students in this time. The more people pay attention to a creator, the more they pay to give their attention. Maybe this is the secret to why everyone I know has tried YouTube and blogging. Alex M. Hounchell, alexander. hounchell@washburn.edu, is a senior English major.

I think it depends on what people are going to do during the time off. I know many people who go to college right away, but then don’t know what to major in and end up wasting money. And then the money situation puts even more stress on them.

No, I made that mistake. I took a year off and came back and getting back into the routine, slaughtered my first two semesters. I failed all my classes, it was really hard trying to remember all the skills I learned in high school.

It depends on the person, personally I regret not doing it. There is a lot of pressure on you to figure out what you want to do. So maybe looking into something like gap year programs would be a good idea because people do not know who they are at 18.

“

No, because you get the needed break in the summer. The transition into college is easier if you go in from high school instead of taking time off and working, and then being like ‘Oh, now I have to go back to school.’

The Kids Aren’t Alright: Brexit, European Union explained Colleen Kelly

WASHBURN REVIEW

Brexit is officially underway. There are a few key distinctions to be made when delving into the Brexit issue. First, the United Kingdom is a sovereign (read: independent) union of states: Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is made up of England, Scotland and Wales. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are each governed by their own Parliament (a legislative elected body of officials) and First Minister (elected leader of Parliament) but ultimately answer to the Prime Minister (leader of the UK’s government as a whole). The three major UK political parties that had a hand in Brexit were the right-leaning Conservative Party (sometimes referred to as the “Tories” in the media), the left-leaning Labour Party and the Scottish National Party (its ideology is similarly liberal like the Labour Party, but emphasizing Scottish nationalism and close ties to other European countries). Since World War II, Europe began organizing itself into three European communities as a way to avoid extreme Nationalism. In 1967, these three communities joined to be collectively known as the European Communities. The UK joined the Community in 1973. It was in 1992, with the signing of the Treaty of Maastricht, that the European Union itself was formally created. Today, it is a political and economic union of 28 sovereign European states. The euro was was created and replaced the currencies of 12 members states in 2002. The UK retained the pound. Since 1975, the UK has expressed varied interest in separating from the EU. While membership ensures a sense of security in the EU’s

single market (which offers free movement of goods, services and people), many members have voiced dissatisfaction with the EU’s rulings in financial regulations, bailouts of other countries and refugee distribution. In a nutshell, the UK specifically wishes to break from the EU because many politicians believe that EU membership fees are too high (the UK paid $16.3 billion in 2014 alone), the UK would theoretically be free to make or reform its own laws without regard to EU restrictions or regulations and the UK would regain control of its borders and how it would subsequently respond to the Syrian Refugee Crisis. However, critics of the proposed Brexit argued that Brexit would be the downfall of the UK’s economy rather than save it. By leaving the EU, international trade with EU countries would become much more expensive for the UK to partake in, as well cause a vast displacement of EU citizens who work in the UK but are citizens elsewhere. As of current reports, these fears have proven valid in that the pound has reached a low not experienced since World War II and thousands of legal EU migrant workers (those in the medical profession in particular) have recently begun to return to EU countries to seek work due to fears that they will either be deported regardless after Brexit’s negotiations have concluded and the fact that a severe spike in hate crimes has arisen in the UK. After years of debate, in January 2012, David Cameron, UK Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party, promised an in/out referendum (a vote open to all citizens legally able to vote) should the Conservatives maintain their majority in the 2015 general elections. Keeping his promise despite his own vocal opposition towards Brexit, Cameron sanctioned the

European Union Referendum Act 2015 and opened the polls on June 23, 2016. Amongst its four nations, roughly 72 percent of the eligible population voted, the UK ultimately deciding to leave the EU with 52 percent of the votes. In response to the results, Cameron resigned from office just hours after the announcement was made. Theresa May was appointed the new Conservative Party leader June 11, 2016. Just two days later, May was appointed the new PM by Queen Elizabeth II. The UK government differs from that of the United States in that it does not appoint a Vice President (or in this case, a Vice PM) in the event of a PM being unable to lead, so the Queen is left to pick a PM. The Brexit results have since garnered worldwide speculation, as no other sovereign country has ever left the EU before, causing panic for EU migrants, international political ties and Europe’s economy as a whole. As of March 29, 2017, the UK government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. This provision means that once a country has decided to leave the EU, it is given a two-year time limit to complete negotiations for its future political and economic relationship with EU countries. If the UK fails to complete its negotiations, it would be forced to follow the World Trade Organisation’s regulations instead. This two year period can only be extended by unanimous agreement from all EU countries. Since the results of Brexit, Scotland has experienced its own unique political turmoil lead by the Scottish National Party. Since 1979, Scotland’s government has expressed interest in becoming its own sovereign country. This is not unheard of, as Ireland was split into two sovereign states in 1921, creating the Republic of Ireland (it’s own independent territory and EU member) and Northern Ireland (a territory of the UK that will soon break from the EU post-Brexit). The UK government awarded Scottish Parliament the power to hold a referendum for independence in 2014. The rationale for staying with the UK is much the same as the UK’s rationale for staying with the EU: there are no guarantees that their economy would be stable enough to stand on its own, nor do we fully understand the future political ramifications of having to redefine relationships with fellow European countries. However, pro-independence campaigners argued that the Conservative-controlled UK govern-

ment does not adequately represent Scotland’s political ideals, such as its more relaxed stance on immigration, the widespread sentiment that the Conservative Party has alienated the working class (represented largely by the Labour Party) and does not prioritize its economic needs such as funding for healthcare, welfare and education. Scotland’s votes were cast on Sept. 18, 2014, and BBC News announced that Scotland would remain in the UK (55 percent having voted to remain). Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish National Party, has since appealled to the UK government to conduct a second independence referendum in response to Brexit. With the majority of Scotland having voted against Brexit, Scotland’s government has expressed its interest in a second vote between the autumn of 2018 and spring of 2019 now that it is clear that independence is the only way to remain in the EU. Should Scotland leave the UK, though, it would still have to reapply to the EU. It would have to renegotiate its terms as new members, which would not guarantee Scotland the same privileges it has previously enjoyed (rebates on EU payments, easy travel and immigration among EU countries and maintaining the pound as a form of currency rather than the currently unstable euro). May released a statement on March 16 saying that she would not support a second referendum

for Scottish independence. “Just at this point, all our energies should be focused on our negotiations with the European Union about our future relationship,” said May in an interview with The Telegraph. “To be talking about an independence referendum will make it more difficult for us to be able to get the right deal for Scotland and the right deal for the UK.” In response to May’s opposition, Sturgeon clarified in a follow-up interview with The Telegraph. “I’m not proposing another referendum now, I’m proposing another referendum when the terms of Brexit are clear– before it’s too late for Scotland to choose a different path,” Sturgeon said. Both May and Sturgeon’s statements leave the public to one of two opinions: either May is simply trying to protect the UK as a whole and ensure that Scotland benefits from Brexit as well, or May is blocking a second independence referendum so that the UK can stay a more valuable bargaining chip in negotiations with the EU. With Article 50 currently underway, it will now take at least two years before the realities of Brexit become tangible, leaving Scotland in a state of limbo for its independence while the UK government focuses on its upcoming negotiations. A summit with the EU is set for April 29. Colleen Kelly, colleen.kelly@ washburn.edu, is a senior senior English education major.

‘Frexit’ looms over coming French presidential election Mark Feuerborn

WASHBURN REVIEW

Just as President Trump settles into office, France sits anxiously waiting for its own presidential election this coming April. In France, the presidential election takes place in two rounds. This is similar to the United States’ primaries, where political parties vote amongst themselves to select a candidate. It is different, however, in that France has multiple political parties as opposed to the U.S.’s Republican and Democrat powerhouses. The first round determines the two candidates from each party, the second round selecting the President. Of those candidates, five stand out for now: the Socialist Party’s Benoit Hamon, the Republican Party’s Francois Fillon, the National Front’s Marine Le Pen, En Marche’s Emmanuel Macron, and Left Party’s JeanLuc Melenchon. Polls indicate the leading candidates are Le Pen and Macron. Paul Mismaque, freshman marketing major and international student from France, has kept a close eye on his homeland’s election. “I think they have very different views, economically and socially,” Mismaque said. “Le Pen wants to quit the euro and European Union, and Macron wants to be further integrated into their system.”

Analysis: American University of Paris professor Waddick Doyle (left) and political analysts met in the French Sénat building in Paris, France to discuss rising trends in populism and nationalism among European poltical campaigns, including Marine Le Pen’s presidential campaign in France.

Macron, who formed his own party and identifies as “neither left nor right,” calls for a shift to renewable energy and less restrictions on French businesses. Le Pen’s party, National Front, has called for “Frexit,” much like the United Kingdom’s recent “Brexit” referendum. Le Pen shares Trump’s views on many social issues, a tier of her platform involving deporting all illegal immigrants and reducing the number of accepted immigrant applications from 200,000 to 10,000 in France. “Obviously she is from the extreme right party,” Mismaque said. “So she is trying to get the workers to go with this notion

that they’re trying to steal our jobs. For a lot of French voters, she is kind of a change, because like Donald Trump she isn’t doing things like normal politicians and likes to be in the center of the media’s attention.” What has made France’s 2017 election interesting is the ideology of the National Front is somehow resonating with the French people in a stronger way than previous elections. Le Pen and her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, did poorly in previous elections when their same nationalist viewpoints were viewed as more extremist, and Jean-Marie moved aside as the National Front’s leader when he was quoted as a Nazi sympathizer.

“I think the view of her party is really bad, even the regular right party is also fighting against her” Mismaque said. “When [people] say they’re going to vote for Le Pen, I think it’s because people are afraid. She’s trying to put a mask on, make her party seem more inviting. In a way, she’s making [nationalism] cool.” Indeed, Marine is distancing herself from the party and her father in campaigning. Posters and advertisements simply read “Marine 2017.” Mismaque said that he is doubtful the French will vote like the British on a “Frexit” referendum, but hypothesized the outcome if they seceded.

“I think if Le Pen wins, she’s going to face a big confrontation in Europe and even in France,” Mismaque said. “I don’t think it will collapse, but I think it will be a strong sign that you’re free to leave the European Union without economic pressure on your country.” France’s possible secession raises concerns on how some EU members may travel (France being a gateway between Spain and Germany). “I will assume that she will take back the borders and reinstate border patrol,” Mismaque said. “I think it will make things more complicated for the people. They will definitely have to worry about their work visas and identity control to make working in another country still possible.” Mismaque is hopeful for an election win for one of the parties besides the National Front. “Macron is not affiliated with another party, so Le Pen and Macron are really different than the Socialist and Republican parties,” Mismaque said. “But really the only one that bother me is Le Pen. You’re not sure of what she’s going to do and what she’s not going to do, as some Americans say with Donald Trump.” Mark Feuerborn, mark.feuerborn@washburn.edu, is a junior mass media major.

Italian parties experience power shift, PM advocates for unity Andrew Shermoen

WASHBURN REVIEW

Italy is undergoing major the remaining 27 member states met this past weekend in Rome to celebrate the Union’s 60th anniversary. While at the event Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni spoke against UK’s choice to leave and commented on the contentious political climate of Europe at the moment. “Unfortunately the majority of public opinion in the United Kingdom, it triggered a crisis of rejection,” Gentiloni said at the summit in Rome. “It brought forward the closed nationalism that we thought has been closed down in the archives.” Gentiloni’s own country is not without its nationalism as well and many Italians wonder if populist and nationalist tendencies might be the leading party of their administration in the next few years. Italy’s upcoming 2018 general election will see the powers of the house shifting as voters will choose which new or incumbent candidates

will fill every single seat of the two houses of Italy’s bicameral Parliament. Italy’s elections do not operate in a system where a few seats in our house are up for election every year. Italy votes on every single seat at once every few years. Meaning a large power shift can happen in the course of a night when the majority party is overtaken by a surprise election. Which is something frightening many Italian citizens at the moment. Lindsey Moddlemog, associate political science professor, believes that Italy benefits from the economic strength of the EU. “Overall, I believe the benefits of the union, freer movements of goods, services and workers and a stable currency, outweigh the cons,” said Moddlemog. Italy has recently seen a rise in members of populist parties such as the Five Star Movement and Lega Nord (also known as the Northern League). Both parties operate as the opposition portion of Italy’s main government. Meaning they have lesser number of seats in the

house but still represent opposing viewpoints against the majority. This upcoming general election could see a surprise turn as both Lega Nord and The Five Star Movement gain a large number of seats. This shift in Italy’s government would see the country take on a heavy anti-immigration stance, which would spell disaster for Syrian refugees who have sought Italy as a place to escape when crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The next step for the parties if they gained a majority would likely be to begin the process of removing ties with the European Union to turn Italy into a country focused on its own interests and not the interest of other European citizens. Many are skeptical that either party will successfully seize power, though. “I do not think any of them could gain enough votes to make up the dominant governing coalition,” said Moddelmog. “They will remain in the opposition. But, I also didn’t believe the British would vote to leave the EU.” Opinion polling from Italy

Movimento 5 Stelle: Beppe Grillo is an Italian comedian and actor that has been involved with Italian politics since 2009. He founded the Five Star Movement, which has the second highest amount of Deputies in the Chamber of Deputies branch of Parliament.

shows that the Democratic Party, which is the majority in the current Parliamentary structure, is still going to be the likely winner of the 2018 election, but the Five Star Movement is currently placing a close second with Lega Nord and Forza Italia maintaining a steady tie. We’ve seen in past elections that predictions are often not indicators of victory. If

Italy’s political system does turn towards nationalism, its citizens and politicians will likely face the same debate happening in the UK today. Andrew Shermoen, andrew. shermoen@washburn.edu, is a senior English education major.

Kenzie’s Beauty Corner: Quimat face brush review

Kenzie McCoy

WASHBURN REVIEW

Skincare is a harder subject to cover when taking into account everyone’s different skin types, allergies, sensitivities and preferences. Finding your perfect skincare regime is a difficult task, but so worth it in the end. Who doesn’t want healthy looking skin? Skincare tools are a little more universal, allowing people of different skin types to use them. I’ve found my holy grail of face washing tools. It’s both cheap and effective for most skin types: The Quitmat face brush. The Quimat brush currently retails for $17.99 on Amazon. com, whereas higher end, more expensive face brushes such as the Foreo generally sell for $119.99. I purchased the hyped-up Foreo mini cleanser a few years back. While the Foreo served me well for awhile, it recently stopped charging and therefore, stopped working altogether. I was extremely irritated that my

expensive skincare tool was no longer usable. When I first bought the Foreo, there really weren’t any well-reviewed alternative options available yet. That’s definitely not the case today, with a boom in facial cleansing tools available in the cosmetics industry. The Quimat is certainly the best that I have tried so far, though. I think cleansers such as the Quimat and Foreo are both great options in that their silicone designs are much less of a bacteria feeding ground than other brushes, such as the popular Clarisonic brush. The Clarisonic is made from a plastic design and goes for $129.99. After trying the Quimat, Foreo and Clarisonic cleansers, along with the silicone cleansers, I can tell you from personal experience the silicone options are much lower maintenance and cleaner for your skin. No more re-purchasing expensive brush heads for the Clarisonic for me. I simply wet my face and the Quimat’s brush, apply cleans-

er to the Quimat’s bristles and select an appropriate vibration setting to exfoliate with. The vibrations of the device help penetrate into pores, more than your hands, to get rid of dirt and makeup. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes and leaves my face feeling fresh and smooth. The product also claims to be 100% waterproof so that you can make it a part of your shower routine like I do. I love that this device is gentle enough to make my face super clean,

without any redness or stinging. To disinfect the Quimat, I run the brush sections of the device under hot water with dish soap. After using the Quimat, Foreo and Clarisonic, I didn’t notice much of a difference in their end result on my skin. The Clarisonic is just too high maintenance for the higher price to contend with the others, though. In terms of comfortable usage, the Quimat has a more natural grip to it as well, whereas the Foreo’s design was annoyingly slippery.

When it comes down to it, you don’t have to break the bank on beauty tools to get a quality product. The Quimat is as affordable as it is effective. I highly recommend that anyone interested in a quicker, more effective facial cleansing routine pick up a Quimat (available in pink and blue) as soon as possible.

‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ revamps monster hunting games Andrew Shermoen

WASHBURN REVIEW

Someone made a game with a strong-willed female protagonist who fights gigantic robotic creatures in a postapocalyptic setting? That’s the fastest I’ve ever pulled money out of my pocket. Aloy (Ashly Burch) is an outcast from a tribe that worships a deity they call “All Mother.” Her tribe is primitive, which is odd when you find the year is 3040. Aloy takes part in a series of trails so she may become a seeker, someone given the power to explore their world beyond the boundaries of her tribe’s land. As she explores within the game, she realizes she’s surprisingly important to her world and thus is being hunted down by someone called HADES. “Horizon Zero Dawn” was highly anticipated, but it’s a game you wouldn’t imagine packing the punch that it does either. It lacks the polish to be called a seminal masterpiece,

Hacker: A unique mechanic of “Horizon Zero Dawn” is Aloy’s ability to override machines to use as riding mounts or to help her fight in battle. To gain the ability to override larger machines, the player will have to delve into the fun dungeon-like Cauldrons, the areas from which the robots emerge which create the machines you fight.

but it’s still enjoyable enough to call it a worthy and incredibly fun addition to the open-world genre. The world itself is vibrant and colorful. Located somewhere in the upper west of the United States makes the environments of the game world varied and interesting. Deserts bleed into vibrant jungles and forests before running into massive mountains.

It isn’t your standard open world that keeps things simple with one generic environment type covering the map; it’s incredibly varied and colorful. The things inhabiting the game world are the real dazzling points though. Each metallic enemy is an absolute riot to fight. Fighting humans is a bit more of a drag though, especially since the game really wants you

to fight human enemies, but every segment involving this gameplay loop feels sluggish. It’s also worth mentioning that the bow’s accuracy when fighting human enemies seemed less useful compared to fighting the machines, possibly due to the smaller human character models. The most surprising virtue of “Horizon Zero Dawn” is its plot though. Aloy’s story

is rife with strong emotional moments. As you learn more about her life and purpose, you feel more drawn to her as a person. She’s vulnerable and affable, but also sarcastic and strong willed. She despises her tribe’s misguided religious fervor that shuns good people, and she has an infectious desire to explore. Overall “Horizon Zero Dawn” is a welcomed surprise. The game works flawlessly and fighting gigantic robot monsters feels just as fun as it sounds, but the extra polish added to the game’s story, characters, and environment design really shows off the quality of the game. For fans of open-world adventures, this game is an incredibly fun must buy.

Music department opens festival with piano recital Ryan Thompson

WASHBURN REVIEW

Washburn’s inaugural International Chamber Music Festival premiered April 4, with a piano recital held at Carole Chapel. The recital was from Pei-Chun Liao, a classically trained pianist that’s been perfecting her craft since she started playing at the age of three. “I didn’t really start enjoying piano until I was about 13” Liao said. The recital was the opening performance of a week-long festival featuring several familiar Washburn faces as well as professors from other universities. Liao is one of those professors outside of Washburn’s campus. Liao is a professor at the Taipei Municipal University of Education who has spent a large portion of her life travelling and playing music as a soloist for groups like National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Bacau Philharmonic Orchestra and Hunan Symphony Orchestra. While she has performed internationally Liao has never performed in Kansas “I’ve performed on the west coast many times,” she said. “But this is my first time in Kansas.” Liao’s recital was held in

Carole Chapel where several students gathered to participate and listen to her brief recital that consisted of three songs from very different styles. “Fantasia in C minor” by W. A. Mozart, “Ballade No. 1, in G. minor” by Frederic Francois Chopin and Robert Schumann’s “Carnaval, Op. 9.” All three pieces are notable due to their length and difficulty for the pianist tasked with performing them. Liao didn’t choose the pieces for their difficulty though. “The music is like characters. Espe-

cially the final piece, you can hear various characters and colors,” Liao said. “I thought people would be interested in the music because of these character changes.” Liao’s favorite piece was the Schumann, “It’s a lot like me because of how crazy it is,” Liao said laughing heartily. Liao’s recital at Carole Chapel is only the beginning of the Festival’s music-focused content though. Liao will be holding a Piano Masterclass at 11 a.m. April 8 at White Concert Hall. Mei-Chun Chen is also a visit-

ing musician from Taiwan who has previously performed in the Topeka Symphony Orchestra and is currently the sectional violist of The Taipei Symphony Orchestra. Chen will be holding an Upper Strings Masterclass at 6 p.m. April 6 in Garvey Fine Arts Center Room 229. Chen will also be performing during the Spring Romance concert at 7:30 p.m. April 9 at White Concert Hall. The Spring Romance concert will focus on the work of Johannes Brahms and Schumann

and will feature guest musicians Liao, Chen, Yu-Fang Chen, Sarah Kim and Matthew Beckmann. The concert will feature Piano Quartets from the two composers. Many of these guest musicians will also be participating in the Music with Friends concert at 7:30 p.m. April 7 and the Ars Nova – Night of New Music concert at 7:30 p.m. April 8. The Music with Friends concert will feature work from M. Ponce, Brahms, Frank Martin and guess composer Chin Ting Chan. The Ars Nova concert will feature work from Stephen Galante, James Mobberley, Joni Greene, David Biedenbender, Silvestre Revueltas and guest composer Mathew Campbell. The concert will feature the Washburn University String Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra and the Aequavus New Music Ensemble. The festival hopes to help students define their understanding of music and how it can bring people together from all over the world. “I hope the students of Washburn can join and celebrate with us during this music festival,” said Liao.

Cooking with Carney: Perfect Savory Cheese Ball •

Carney Ziegler

WASHBURN REVIEW

I’m overly anxious to share this recipe because it is one of my favorite tried and true, accident-proof recipes. I have made it several times and it never fails. For some reason, months back (when I was naïve), I had it in my head that I didn’t like cheese balls. This was probably because I’d only ever tried a couple different kinds and wasn’t a huge fan of them. But, a while back, I needed an easy, incredibly fast snack to take to a get together, and since I always have cream cheese in my fridge for the desserts I make, I decided to use it on a savory snack this go around. It was one of the best decisions I’d made. Honestly, I think I could have eaten the whole thing, it was that good. But, what was other best part? I’ve made several variations of this recipe and it’s still tasty. I rarely buy green onions, and I don’t like buying a big bunch for just half of a cup. So, I’ve made it without, and it’s still great. Rosemary has always been my favorite herb to use, but parsley

The perfect pair: Cheese is one of the most versatile ingredients and pairs with almost anything. If you don’t want to use crackers try serving the cheese ball with fruit slices, some toasted baguette slices (called crostini) and for some extra salt and crunch give pretzels a try.

is a perfectly suitable substitute for it if you don’t have rosemary in your cabinet. This cheese ball is also sweet. It’s creamy and cheesy, of course, from the cream cheese and cheddar cheese, which can be white cheddar or mild (and I suppose you could use sharp, but I’ve never tried it). The rosemary, green onions, and/or parsley give the perfect

savory aspect the snack needs. The craisins are my all-time favorite part of this. They are exactly what this creamy, herbfilled cheese ball needs because it provides the best balance of salty and sweet. Trust me when I say this is a no-fail, flexible recipe you will choose again and again, just like I do. You can make it in five minutes, and it’s enough

to feed several of your friends and family members. Try this creamy, salty, cheesy snack because you won’t regret it. Ingredients: • 8 oz. reduced cream cheese • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (mild or white cheddar) • 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions

1 teaspoon rosemary, optional • 1 cup craisins • 1 cup chopped pecans • Crackers, for servingw Directions: 1. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, green onions, rosemary and craisins until fully combined. Set aside. 2. Roll out a sheet of Press ‘n Seal or cling wrap. Spread about ¼ cup of pecans in the center. 3. Form cream cheese mixture into a ball and place onto the pecans on the cling wrap. Press remaining pecans onto the rest of the cheese ball, covering it as much as possible. 4. Cover cheese ball and refrigerate about 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Par 3: Allen brothers play golf for Washburn Cameron Wiggins CONTRIBUTER

Three brothers at Washburn have shared the same passion for all of their lives. Now they all play golf on the same team together. 21-year-old Colton Allen, 19-year-old Blake Allen and 22-year-old Garrett Allen are brothers from Lenexa, Kansas, attending Washburn on golf scholarships. The three Shawnee Mission Northwest graduates are an inseparable trio. “We’re all really close, the three of us are like best friends,” said Garrett Allen, senior finance major. Growing up playing football, basketball, baseball and soccer, the brothers recalled first picking up golf in California at a young age. “We were all visiting our grandma in California for spring break,” Garrett Allen said. “I think that is when we all fell in love with the sport. I didn’t realize I was good until around [my]junior year in high school.” Colton Allen, junior business major, said he knew he was a natural when he picked

up a club. The three had their share of highs and lows during the 2016-17 season. “I have started off a little rocky, but things are finally starting to fall into place,” Garrett Allen said. “The season is definitely going up from here.”

Blake Allen, undecide freshmen, said his game has been up and down all season, but has gained good experience. “I have been fortunate enough to play a lot as a freshman and that should help me moving forward,” Blake Allen said.

“I’m redshirting this year, so I am practicing and preparing myself for next year, and I am super stoked to get out there and kick some butt!” Colton Allen said. Despite being brothers and very close, the reasons they each chose to attend Washburn

were very different. “I came on a visit and really enjoyed the campus,” Garrett Allen said. “I knew that the golf team was very competitive nationally, which was a plus.” As for Blake Allen, he chose Washburn because it offered him the largest scholarship. Regardless of reasons, Garrett Allen said he loves playing with his brothers. “They are by far my biggest competition which just pushes me, each of us, every day to get better,” Garrett Allen said. “But also having the support for each other plays a big role in the confidence we have.” Although the three play golf for the school, they can’t seem to do anything else. “We play every day, even when we are not in season,” Blake Allen said. “We just can’t get away from it. We golf 12 months a year.” The brothers are certainly not bashful; Ask them who the best golfer of the three is, and they all will say, “I am!” Cameron Wiggins, cameron. wiggins@washburn.edu, is a senior mass media major

Synthesize This: Sports drinks enhances physical performance Column by Lindsey Case, a kinesiology student There have been extensive studies on sports drinks and how they affect performance. Scientific evidence suggests that the ingredients in sports drinks can have a positive correlation to physical performance when used correctly. Sports drinks were created in order to help athletes replenish fluids such as water as well as electrolytes and energy. Hydration is necessary to reach optimal performance. The longer and more intensely people exercise, the more important it is to stay hydrated. If fluids lost are not replenished, the heart will have a harder time circulating blood.

What is in sports drinks that can help the body attain more fluid and electrolytes? Primary ingredients include glucose, sucrose, fructose, or high fructose corn syrup. There are some drinks that can have a lot of sugar, which most people think is a bad thing, but for high intensity exercise it’s not. However, too much sugar can affect weight loss goals. If someone doesn’t factor the calories from sports drinks into their diet, weight gain could occur. To avoid this, one needs to drink the right sports drink for the activity.
