Washburn’s SAI chapter wins national award Whitney Clum Washburn Review whitney.clum@washburn.edu
Washburn’s Sigma Alpha Iota chapter has gained national attention and for their outstanding philanthropic work and for exemplifying the standards that their fraternity espouses. The women’s music fraternity was chosen among 227 fellow chapters to win the Katherine Becker National Collegiate Chapter Achievement Award. According to SAI’s mission statement, the organization’s main goals are encouraging, nurturing and supporting music in women of all ages, races and nationalities. In light of their numerous regional and state awards in recent years for their performances and work with their community, they have lived up to their mission statement. As such, recommendation letters, which are necessary in order to win these awards, poured in from regional and state officers for Washburn’s chapter based on its philanthropy and activities that it has both hosted and engaged in. The province award was a certificate for the Theta A province, where Washburn was chosen among four chapters. The second award, the regional award, recognized them as the top performing chapter in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The aforementioned Kath-

erine Becker award was for the entirety of the United States. Josey Trimble, senior music education major, said that her fraternity’s Voices of American Women concert played a large role in earning her chapter its many accolades. “This year, we got the award for the Judy Coder concert Voices of American Women,” Trimble said. “I worked with Jessica Knieff and Anna Glover for a philanthropic concert last year, and that was based around American women, so all of our songs were by American women. It was an empowerment thing since composers all over the world are generally men.” Despite being a small-
er chapter comprised of 16 members, SAI is quite active in the community. According to Trimble, her fraternity hosts Washburn’s annual middle school solo and ensemble festival, and is constantly coming up with new ways to encourage music education in the community. “So far this year we’ve done a Girl Scout badge workshop to have girls earn different skills,” Trimble said. “We are doing a Relay For Life to raise money for our national philanthropy and we’ll have a booth there to help fund raise our annual middle school solos and ensembles festival. It’s like the high school ones, but it’s more relaxed ... it’s to get the experience and
perform out in public.” Along with all of the benefits to the community, merely having membership in SAI adds quality to the college experience, according to Sydney Donaldson, junior music education major. “I was the kind of girl who thought they would never join a Greek organization,” said Donaldson. “I thought greek girls were all ditzes, then I found out that SAI was a professional fraternity...All of the girls in SAI were so warm and encouraging. I felt all of their love and support.” SAI has made it easy to get involved with its many activities. Despite being a music fraternity, neither a music major nor minor is
required. To gain membership, each person must pass at least one of the music classes available on campus, maintain a certain grade point average and undergo training over the fraternity’s history and goals. “I feel people around campus don’t know about this opportunity,” Trimble said. “A lot of people take music classes. You can take the Enjoyment of Music class and be considered. It’s a great opportunity to be involved in music in the community. We are always looking for more women. It’s really fulfilling. It’s always good to see a smile on their faces if you like helping out with younger people and love music.”
and women at an alarming rate, and this invisible industry is thriving in Kansas. On the attorney general’s website, Kansas is identified as an originating state for human trafficking, which means children in our home state are at a higher risk of being affected by human trafficking than in others. According to Derek Schmidt’s, Kansas Attorney General, website, experts view human trafficking as the second largest criminal enterprise in the world, second only to the illegal sale of drugs. More than 83 percent of human trafficking involves domestic survivors, the majority of them being children. Freedom’s Promise, a non-profit founded and based in Tennessee, is an organization working to prevent human trafficking in Cambodia through community building initiatives. Amber Cunningham, founder, shared insight about some of the misconceptions surrounding human trafficking.
“When a lot of people think of human trafficking, they think that it is an overseas problem or if it’s happening here, it’s immigrants who have come over for that purpose,” Cunningham said. Cunningham explained that the human trafficking industry is not one that discriminates against ethnicity, economic background or where you live. All children are at risk. She said that I-70, which runs through Topeka, is a popular corridor for human traffickers, particularly those transporting children. “Don’t assume that because we’re in the heartland of America that we’re safe, because we’re not,” Cunningham said. To combat that this, it is imperative that parents and educators become aware of how children are being targeted and exploited. Traffickers are trained to pinpoint vulnerabilities in children, such as isolation and disengagement, to identify them as targets for sex trafficking, according to
Cunningham. While there is a strong need for preventative education against human trafficking, strengthening victim advocacy programs is equally as important. Dorthy Halley, division director for victim services in the Attorney General’s office, talked about how difficult it is for survivors of trafficking to transition back to normal life outside of the sex trade industry. Halley said that for those involved in prostitution, many of them were first introduced to the industry as children. This is a lifestyle that they are used to, and without an education to fall back on, survivors often believe that a life outside of sex trafficking is beyond their reach. “Even though they don’t have chains around their feet, they are enslaved,” Halley said. Halley has direct experience with survivors of human trafficking. She says the trauma that these women and children have experienced is extremely
complex. There is no way of knowing the danger the survivors are in if they cooperate with law enforcement. When survivors testify against their traffickers, they may be putting their lives in danger and not enough is being done to protect them, according to Halley. Halley referenced a study that was done in New York City that found that one of every eight children trafficked in New York over a five year period originated from Kansas. She said that it is hard to know the accuracy of this study, though, as so many cases go unreported and survivors often say what their traffickers told them to say. “We know that Kansas has a problem,” Halley said. “It is so underground that it is hard to know how big that problem is.” Topeka has one of the highest rates of human trafficking in the nation, according to Emily Steimel, public education coordinaTrafficking on page 2

Trafficking continued tor for the YWCA in Topeka. She says that the current Attorney General’s platform on human trafficking has helped to bring this issue to the surface. “The average age is 12 to enter human trafficking,” Steimel said. “Over half of young women being trafficked are being trafficked by someone they know.” The YWCA has a variety of resources for survivors of human trafficking in addition to preventative education programs for teachers on the warning signs of trafficking. They educate throughout the community and collaborate heavily with Restore Hope, the Topeka Rescue Mission’s human trafficking unit. Sharon Sullivan, professor of theater, has dedicated much of her life’s work to fighting violence against women and children. She says that human trafficking is a natural extension of the work she has always done. She discussed the pros and cons of backpage. com, a website that is commonly known for its link to human trafficking. This website is known for featuring ads selling sex, many of these ads featuring minors. What is so controversial is that this website regularly features ads such as these, yet this crime is not being prosecuted. Max Kautsch, attorney, explained the legal loopholes that the website utilizes. “Backpage.com and its ilk defend the practice of posting ads that promote human trafficking on the basis that such sites are third-party publishers and thus immune to prosecution under the Communications Decency Act,” Kautsch said. However, Sullivan explained why this platform
can actually help the fight against human trafficking. Backpage.com’s servers are located in the United States, so when law enforcement sees an ad for someone they suspect to be a minor, they can issue a warrant. The website regularly cooperates with providing information, according to Sullivan. “There is an advantage to keeping [backpage.com] open for law enforcement,” Sullivan said. “Nobody believes that if [the website] closes that there won’t be anymore ads. They’ll just
to their trafficker. “The stigma of prostitution hurts real people,” Sullivan said. “We treat them like trash.” Sullivan is involved in many organizations that work to fight human trafficking, such as the Topeka Center for Peace and Justice. This organization has a sector called Stop Trafficking and Resist Slavery. STARS focuses on providing free education about human trafficking throughout Shawnee County. Additionally, they have a Victim Assistance fund that helps cover needs that cannot be paid for by grants or other federal funding. Sullivan recalled an instance in which a survivor was positively influenced by this fund. “There was a woman, a girl really,” Sullivan said. “She was 16 or 17 and her pimp wanted her to have red hair to make her more sellable.” Sullivan said that after having escaped the world of sex trafficking, the woman was attending job training. Each time she looked in the mirror, she saw the person her pimp wanted her to be and all she wanted was Image courtesty of YWCA Northeast KS to have her natural color and personal move to another place.” identity back.

Community feasts at Greek Food Festival Terry Richardson
Washburn Review terry.richardson@washburn.edu
You just can’t beat authentic Greek cuisine. Visitors lined up bright and early, well before the 11 a.m. start Oct. 7 for the 13th Annual Greek Food Festival at the Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Christian Church. As the church lawn filled with people, volunteers held a group prayer before setting up a production line to prepare food for the food festival that would last until 3 p.m. “This is my first time here,” said Ksenija Zetalkins, festival attendee. “I can’t wait to see how good the food is.” Zetalkins said she had initially heard about the Greek Food Festival from her friends who had attended the event in past
years. After seeing the event being shared on Facebook, too, she decided to visit the festival herself. The event’s Facebook page advertised the eclectic menu of traditional Greek food being sold. A plate cost $16 per person, and came with an entree and three side dishes.
“The closest Greek restaurant is in Kansas City. So this is a real treat.”
“I am interested in the baclava,” Zetalkins said. “Their desserts are a lot different than western desserts.’
Physical menus were passed down the line and made available to attendees before they placed their orders. After ordering, attendees paid and were given a number. Tables were set up where the crowds could dine together, but to-go options were also available. “The closest Greek restaurant is in Kansas City,” Zetalkins said. “So this is a real treat.” Many Topeka residents actively seek out food festivals and community events such as these. “I try to catch everything in Topeka,” said Alison Beebe, festival attendee. “There is always something fun going on.” While food was being served on the east side of the church, Greek pastries and coffee were available for sale in the church’s basement.

CAB and HALO host Loteria, grocery bingo Natalie Croze
Washburn Review natale.croze@washburn.edu
The campus was abuzz as Washburn students gathered to compete in Grocery Bingo. Grocery Bingo occurred Oct. 4 in Stauffer Commons, where students played to win groceries, toiletries and electronics. Washburn University Campus Activities Board and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization partnered to organize the event, which was a mixture of bingo and Loteria, a type of Spanish bingo that uses pictures instead of numbers. CAB and HALO frequently team up throughout the year to host events such as these. Anneleise McEvoy, mass media major, was responsible for buying the groceries and coordinating advertising for the event. “To prepare, we went to Wal-Mart and we got a bunch of groceries,” McEvoy said. “Students can [win] groceries, instead of buying them.” McEvoy encouraged students to attend events like these because of the prizes
and for the social aspect. “It’s free food,” McEvoy said. “You wouldn’t want to pass that up, and people are already making friends at different tables.” Students were able to win more than just food items, including toiletries, gift cards, dorm room essentials and electronics. “We have a couple of big prizes, like a bike, [a key locator], a Polaroid camera and a printer,” McEvoy said. Over 100 students attended the free event, most of whom left with at least one prize. Throughout the night, the games alternated between bingo and Loteria, where the game leaders alternated between English and Spanish when calling out numbers and pictures. Josslyn Brown, sociology major, attended the event and won a small bag of assorted snacks while playing Loteria. “It was really fun,” Brown said. “It was really hyped. Honestly, it was one the most fun events, so step out of your comfort zone [and go to the next one].”

Editor in Chief *Jessica Knieff
Journalists needed now more than ever Donald Trump tweeted “The Fake News media is officially out of control. They will do or say anything in order to get attention – never been a time like this!” in May of 2017. Whether you support Trump or not, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to detect “fake news.” Since the 2016 election, the terms “fake news,” and “alternative facts,” have become common hashtags, tweet topics and led to many debates. Alternative facts are, simply put, lies and the opposite of facts. Twitter, Facebook and even mainstream media have all been victims of the fake news stories. Hours after the Las Vegas shooting, fake news stories spread on social media. People were looking for information, and
without even knowing it, accidentally spread stories of ISIS involvement, multiple shooters and photos of a man wrongly identifying the shooter on twitter and Facebook. Yet, not even the reporters and the news is immune to fake stories. Some of the alternative news stories include photoshopped images of the Seattle Seahawks burning an American flag and a shark swimming streets during Hurricane Harvey. It is imperative that we as consumers and journalists learn the differences between fake and real facts. A couple weeks ago, WU Student Media held a skill shop focused on educating students about alternative facts, propaganda and how to think critically about news stories. One of the things we

The basis of the Code of Ethics is to “Seek Truth and Report It.” This includes taking responsibility for the accuracy of our work, providing context, identifying sources clearly and gathering, updating, as well as correcting information. Writers and editors for the Washburn Review take extreme care in what is
written in the paper and work to follow the Code of Ethics. This includes issuing apologies when mistakes are found; working to keep opinions out of the news and making sure that the facts are true, not “alternative.” While fake news continues to permeate our culture, it is our job as consumers to be educated and our job as reporters to change current perceptions of journalism and the media.
Pence fumbles in reponse to NFL protests Charles Rankin Washburn Review charles.rankin@washburn.edu
This week, as has happened for three straight weeks, members of various NFL teams kneeled, sat, stayed in the locker room or showed others forms of protest during the National Anthem as it played in 14 stadiums around the country. These acts are nothing new as Colin Kaepernick began this act during the 2016 preseason. Something about this week’s protests was different however. Vice President Mike Pence attended the game being hosted by the Indianapolis Colts. Following protests by around 20 players, Pence left the game shortly after the
National Anthem. On Twitter, Pence explained his decision by saying, “I left today’s Colts game because [the President] and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag or our National Anthem.” It was revealed that President Donald Trump had asked Pence to leave if any player protested. The only problem here is that the Colts were playing the 49ers, the very same team that Kaepernick was playing for until this season. Trump, Pence and nearly everyone else knew that there were going to be protests at this particular game. It was so apparent to Pence’s team that he was going to leave that
Advertising Managers *Ariele Dutton *Erica Faulkinbury
they told pool reporters who were accompanying the vice president to not go into the stadium because the vice president “might” leave the game early. Moreover, Pence traveled to this game from Las Vegas and then left to travel to Los Angeles afterward. If you know anything about U.S. geography, you know that LA is west of Las Vegas and that Indianapolis is much further east. I think it’s stupid every time I have a connecting flight in Dallas when I’m traveling to places like Minnesota or Chicago. This administration has been embroiled in scandal upon scandal, one of the latest being the resignation of the secretary of health and human
services, Tom Price, for using an expensive, private plane for official government trips. And now the president is having his administration use the government’s planes to fly 1600 miles out of the way for the benefit of a political cause. We live in a nation that is already divided on nearly as many issues as there are people. Political stunts like this one are not the way to bridge those divides. When disasters such as mass shootings, hurricanes and wildfires threaten to take the lives of hundreds of Americans this is not the time to make a statement that will undoubtedly divide the very nation this administration is striving to lead.

Music department recital season in full swing Sarah Miller
Washburn Review sarah.miller6@washburn.edu
The campus is alive with the sound of music. Three senior music majors held their senior recitals over the weekend of Oct. 7-8 in White Concert Hall. Seniors Cale Paquette, Jason Lewin and Michael Reynolds performed for friends, family and faculty. The senior recital is a culmination of the years that a student has spent obtaining a degree in music, whether it be in music education, music performance or a bachelor of arts in music. The recital is required for students with these emphases to graduate. It is not uncommon to use footage of these recitals for future auditions for graduate schools or other performance based competitions they plan to enter. “I would compare the se-

as well. It was after Rodriguez and her friends went to the Warped Tour that the idea of incorporating music was conceptualized. They connected with bands like The Gospel Youth and Stack Like Pancakes, as both bands played songs that talked about issues related to mental health. Since ideas can be expressed in a more empathetic manner through music, Rodriguez thought using music was the best way to connect students and to inspire them. “Music really has a way of reaching into a person,” Rodriguez said. “I’m very much into the punk rock industry, and there’s a lot of songs that are like, ‘This is how you should be taking care of yourself, but also I relate to you.’” In “Protection” by Movements, one of her favorite songs, the lead singer belts out lyrics about not being able to verbalize the thoughts swimming in his mind. “He does it in the middle of the song,” Rodriguez said. “It’s a whole amazing

Hope Through Headphones is partnering with To Write Love on Her Arms to present a mental health float in this year’s homecoming parade. Hope
Through Headphones is also organizing a benefit concert in March in the hopes of raising enough money to turn itself into a non-profit. Students from the University of Kansas and the University of Central Florida have approached Rodriguez to discuss starting their own branches of Hope Through Headphones. With 1 in 5 college students likely to suffer from mental illness, Hope Through Headphones looks to reduce the stigma against mental health and replace it with a culture in which mental health is treated with respect and legitimacy.

A talented surgeon (Colin Farrell) experiences his life slowly descending in to madness after a young boy (Barry Keoghan) he takes under his care begins to terrorize him and his daughter. Directer Yorgos Lanthimos makes his triumphant return to drama after his critically-praised romantic satire “The Lobster” came out in 2015.

‘Blade Runner 2049’ exceeds all expectations Andrew Shermoen
Washburn Review andrew.shermoen@washburn.edu
Ridley Scott’s 1982 technoir masterpiece “Blade Runner” was one of the best films ever made. The original is my favorite film, and now 35 years later, the sequel, “Blade Runner 2049,” dared to tango with its predecessor. It was without a doubt the best movie of the year so far. Caution for spoilers. In the years since Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) departed the blade runner department, the environment of Los Angeles has changed dramatically. Replicants are now allowed to live on earth, as they are much easier to recognize and their ability to form emotions has supposedly been removed by Niander Wallace (Jared Leto), the new leader of replicant manufacturing. K (Ryan Gosling), a blade runner, begins investigating a replicant freedom movement, which leads him to uncover a secret that threatens to destroy humanity’s perception of life as it stands today. The man with the answers he needs is Deckard. Denis Villeneuve is a careful director. Every single shot of his work is measured and balanced to convey everything he desires. Villeneuve and Roger Deakins, his frequent col-

laborator and cinematographer extraordinaire, have brought to life an absolutely stunning world. Its darker outside shots capture a bleak society that is overcrowded and obsessed with consumerism. This semi-perpetual bleakness is broken up by the constant neon lights which serve as their only hopeful images. Wallace Corporation directly contrasts this, though, as it is flooded with dazzling light that shimmers and ebbs like a twisted gold pool. These choices of lighting and color scheme perfectly convey the film’s mood and Villeneuve’s ideas about
humanity’s descent into madness. Humans still cast a downward eye towards replicants, calling them “skinjobs” and forcing them to remove all evidence of humanity from their person. We realize early in the film that K is both a replicant and a blade runner, an effectively subtle metaphor towards governments forcing people to fight and kill their own kind. Alongside this theme are multiple others which resonated with me: the power of miracles, the inevitability of revolution, the power of choice and the destructive power of humanity’s hubris. Villeneuve’s film postulates
that free will is the most important facet of human life. Such a hopeful opinion of humanity makes for an engaging narrative into an otherwise bleak world, but “Blade Runner 2049” pulls off its brief moments of optimism as well. If Villenueve’s opinion of what constitutes humanity is the ability to choose and make choices not in your self-interest, then most of the artificial characters in this film are more human than those actually made of flesh and bone. Speaking of which, the characters in this film are splendid. Gosling’s K is stoic, frightening and infec-
tiously charismatic. He’s a tender soul, and Gosling’s ability to subtly convey the moral war going on in K’s mind makes for one of the most intriguing arcs of the story. Ford effortlessly jumps right back into the sarcastic and self-loathing Deckard perfectly. He’s been beaten down by society, the hunter becoming the hunted. Leto, too, is surprisingly good as the villainous captain of industry. His god complex and creep factor is through the roof as he carelessly creates life and dispatches it whenever he sees fit. Truthfully, there isn’t a moment in “Blade Runner 2049” that isn’t absolutely stunning from a visual perspective. Deakins’ command of mixing computer-generated and practical effects makes for the most beautiful film in years. Everything about “Blade Runner 2049” is handled spectacularly. The well-balanced commentary on humanity’s capacities for good and evil, the haunting industrial score from Hans Zimmer, Deakins’ beautiful cinematography and the all around incredible acting make this film not just a worthy sequel, but the best film of 2017 so far.
Beginner’s guide to pairing coffee, food Colleen Kelly
Washburn Review colleen.kelly@washburn.edu
Pairing coffees with foods which complement their unique flavor profiles is an art. There is a plethora of coffee options available to consumers – everything from flavored lattes to brewed coffee. The easiest way to pair a food option is through a simple technique called mirroring. What you are essentially doing is identifying a dominant flavor in the drink and picking out a food that features similar notes. When doing so, ask yourself if the coffee tastes sweet, bitter, nutty, fruity, smoky, earthy or citrusy. Brewed coffee comes in three types of roasts: blonde, medium and dark. Blondes typically have a lighter body and more mellow flavors, making them easy to pair with savor or subtly sweet options such as lemon cake, avocado toast or almond croissants. Medium roasts are balanced, smooth and the easiest to pair with a bacon breakfast sandwich, butter croissants or a sesame bagel. Dark roasts have a fuller body and bolder flavors, mak-
ing them ideal to pair with chocolate croissants, cinnamon oatmeal or cheesy breakfast sandwich. There are thousands of coffee blends out there, and some will break these general rules based upon the country the beans originate from and the company which produced it. Latin American blends are known for their nuttiness, acidity and hints of cocoa; African blends are citrusy and floral; Kenyan blends are fruity; Asian/Pacific blends are herbal and acidic; Guatemalan blends have strong hints of cocoa, caramel and dried fruit. To wit, a typical Guatemalan dark roast will likely feature strong notes of dark cocoa and dried fruit, making a chocolate brownie or a blueberry scone equally good choices. Luckily, most bags of coffee beans advertise their unique flavor

Blondie: One of the featured coffees at PT’s at College Hill is their Ethiopian blend. The blend was a lighter medium roast with notes of lavender, dried papaya and honeydew. Due to the fruity and floral notes, a brown sugar and cinnamon blondie was paired with it to bring out the lighter flavor profile.
profiles. The guess work is already done for you when ordering a flavored latte, as you already know what the drink will taste like and just need to pick a pastry to compliment your syrup of choice. The inherent milkiness of a latte lends itself to sweeter choices rather than savory ones. If you select vanilla, caramel, irish cream, mocha or white mocha, the sweetest options on any menu, you’re more likely to enjoy a cookie, a brownie or cake with your latte. Nutty
flavors such as hazelnut or toffee nut are best paired with savory or salty-sweet pastries, such as cheese danishes and almond croissants. Spicy syrups or teas such as cinnamon, brown sugar or chai are best paired with foods one might associate with fall, such as apple fritter, pumpkin bread or cinnamon rolls. If all else fails, never hesitate to ask your local barista for a sample and their insight. As a barista myself, one of the best parts of working in a cafe
is getting to experience endless coffee flavor profiles and getting to experiment with pairings. Helping you make informed decisions is just part of the job. I love it when I talk a customer who usually clings to white mochas into a blonde roast with honey and seeing their face light up. Know your parameters (like whether or not you prefer certain flavors over others) and be open to experimentation – you may just find your new favorite morning drink.

Top five picks for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Tambour Bieker
Washburn Review tambour.bieker@washburn.edu
The time has come for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct its new members. There are 19 nominees this year, ranging from The Cars to LL Cool J. According to the official website, nine of these acts have been previously nominated. Fans are allowed to vote for five nominees at a time, and the current standings have Bon Jovi in the lead. As a lifelong music enthusiast, I have some fairly strong ideas about who should be inducted this year. Rage Against the Machine, Bon Jovi, Radiohead, Judas Priest and Nina Simone are, in my eyes, the most deserving. I’ll break it down and explain what their contributions have meant to the world of rock.
Rage Against the Machine Aptly named, this band exemplifies the nature of
protest, protest against the government to be specific. In the 1990s, bands like Rage helped to express the feelings of the American youth under the Clinton administration. With such hits as “Testify” and “Renegades of Funk,” the group gave voice to the frustration and disenchantment of the nation’s youth. Tom Morello, the band’s guitarist, has gone on to work with several other groups since the start of Rage’s hiatus, including Audioslave and Prophets of Rage.
Bon Jovi
If you live in America and have never heard a single Bon Jovi song, I don’t believe you. Some people may recognize the theme song to the TV show “Deadliest
Catch” as being Bon Jovi’s hit song “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Others may regularly belt out “Livin’ On a Prayer” at their local karaoke bar every week. In any case, Bon Jovi is an American rock staple. Whether we like it or not, Bon Jovi is an iconic music group and deserves this recognition.
Radiohead
Radiohead is more than just a reference from a Katy Perry breakup song. They are one of the most remembered bands from the 1990s. Although the group is mostly known by its song, “Creep”, they have many other songs with high notoriety. Thom Yorke, the band’s vocalist, has worked with many talented musicians. He also formed a band for charity called Atoms for Peace. The group
also included Flea, the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who is already a member of the Hall of Fame.
Judas Priest This year is the first year Judas Priest has been nominated, despite its first eligible year being in 1999. One of its most recognizable and enduring hits is “Breaking the Law.” They are one of the most prolific metal bands of all time, influencing former inductees such as Pearl Jam, which was inducted in 2017. It only makes sense that Judas Priest be inducted as well.
Nina Simone
Nina Simone: The High Priestess of Soul, a nick-
name Simone has continually earned, helped to inspire the African-American population in the 1960s. While she was first eligible in 1983, 2018 is the first year she has been nominated. Her work is still widely celebrated by the Rhythm and Blues community today, and Kanye West has helped keep her voice alive through frequent sampling of her music. One of her major hits was “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free”, which is featured on her 1967 album, “Nina Simone Sings The Blues.” Induction into the Hall is an extremely limited honor every year, but many talented musicians have been fortunate enough to go through the ceremony. Who do you think should be nominated in the coming years? Interested in seeing the other fourteen nominees and casting your vote?

Faithful Washburn football fans pack the stands to watch the Ichabods take on another opposing team on their home turf.
WU football beats Missouri Southern for fourth straight win Trevor Beurman Washburn Review trevor.beurman@washburn.edu
With a fast start to impressive defensive performances last time around at Yager Stadium, the Ichabods looked to continue their defensive prowess with a victory over winless Missouri Southern State University Lions. WU football continued its streak with the team’s fourth consecutive win Oct. 7 in a home game against the Lions. The Ichabods put on another fast start to their defense, with a third and out offensive drive for Missouri Southern on their first try. The Ichabods would jump on top of the game by that point as the offense made their way down the field for 68 yards. Blake Peterson, the starting quarterback for the Ichabods, put on an offensive show on the first drive with a smooth pass to the end zone to wide receiver Jake Horner past the defense. The Ichabods took an early lead as Perry Schmiedeler added on the extra point to make it 7-0. The Ichabods did not stop there. On the second drive for Missouri Southern, D.J. Olmstead continued his
intercepting abilities and picked off a pass to the Missouri Southern 45 yard line to start the second drive for the Ichabod offense. “You know we got out there and did it again,” said Zach Willis, running back. ”We just have to come out and play our game every week.” With the Ichabod offense back on the field, the fast start for both sides of the ball continued. Washburn football steamrolled down the field on six plays for 45 offensive yards to the end zone to earn a 14-0 lead as Zach Willis found his way past the pylon. Eventually, the game settled for both teams as Missouri Southern put up some resistance against the Ichabods to end the first quarter. To start the second quarter, the Lions finally found a groove on offense with a drive towards the end zone. The Lions journeyed all the way down below the Washburn 10 yard line for six points punched in by Missouri Sotuhern’s Scott Brayden for a 81 yard drive. With the score set at 14-7, the Ichabods got the ball back on the 25-yard line and drive all the way down the field for 75 yards of offense and another score
in the end zone to settle the score at 21-7. The Lions answered back, however, and the Ichabods saw another scoring drive pass their defense to the end zone. Before halftime the Lions put up seven more points to make the score 21-14 with 1:07 remaining in the first half of the game. The score held for the first half and the Ichabods went into the locker room up by only seven points after their fast start to the game. “We definitely had a couple chances we would have wanted back, but that is just all about the in game development,” said Jake Horner, wide receiver. To kick off the second half of the game the Ichabods started on their own 25-yard line. Looking to start fast out of the gate once again, the Ichabods moved the chains over and over again for another touchdown by running back Zach Willis setting the score at 28-14 with 10:20 left in the third quarter. After Washburn football added on to the scoreboard, the Lions had no answer to another three and out drive lasting 1:36 of the third quarter. Washburn got the ball back on their own 26 where
they went four and out, giving the ball back to the Lions for great field position. The Lions took advantage and tore through the Washburn defense for another touchdown after a 24 yard completion to Southern Missouri’s Coleman Shemar for a 28-21 score with 6:40 remaining in the third. The momentum shift lasted only 12 seconds for the Lions, however, as Blake Peterson would connect with James Brania-Hopp for a 75 yard completion that resulted in a touchdown on the ensuing drive. The score ended up being 35-21 with the Ichabods leading by two scores with 6:28 left in the third quarter. The Ichabods continued to take control of the game as the Lions gave it right back with an errant pass on the first play right to D.J. Olmstead for a pick six, making it 42-21 with 6:11 left in the third quarter. After another three and out from the Lions, the Ichabods continued to plow down the field on offense. Eventually, Washburn were stopped at the opposing 25 yard line going four and out and returning the ball to the Lions to end the third quarter.
To start the fourth, the Ichabods returned to a dominating defensive attack. The Ichabod defense started the quarter off with a sack and then forced a three and out to bring a punt back to the Washburn offense. The Washburn offense then started on their own 47 with 14:08 left in the game. The offense were given a holding penalty on Micheal Lickteig, and did not get much going for their 13th offensive drive of the game as they went three and out to return the ball back to the Lions. The rest of the fourth quarter was all Washburn as the Ichabods went on to seal its fifth win on the season and its fifth win in conference with a 49-21 final score. The Lions remain winless on the season, recording their sixth loss and pushing the Ichabods closer and closer to breaching the AFCA top 25. Up next for the Ichabods is a road trip to Hays, Kansas where they will face off against the Fort Hays State University Tigers at Lewis Field. The Tigers are undefeated on the season and should prove a pivotal game for the entire MIAA conference.

Washburn volleyball defeats Pittburg State, falls short to UCO Cassie Nichols
Washburn Review cassie.nichols@washburn.edu
The Ichabods faced ups and downs this weekend as they took on the Pittsburg State Gorillas and the Oklahoma University Bronchos. The Ichabods took on the Gorillas Friday, Oct. 6 in a home game where they blanked the Gorillas with a 3-0 win. This victory improved the team’s overall record to 12-6 for the season. The Ichabods dominated the major
aspects of the game with a better overall hitting, serving and kill record. However, the Ichabods suffered a tough loss to the undefeated Bronchos during their next match Saturday, Oct. 7. Although Central Oklahoma won 2-3, the Ichabods did not make their opponent’s victory easy and consistently outhit them through the match. Chris Herron, head volleyball coach, was proud of his team’s overall performance this weekend. “I thought that we had
good effort all weekend,” Herron said. “We played much better Saturday than we did on Friday, we just played a better team. The freshman have some growing up to do. I’m not one for excuses, but they are getting better. I have a good group who works hard. I never have to worry about my players working hard.” Coach Herron is looking to use the loss as a teaching moment and move forward to improve as a team. “We expect to get better
every single day and every single practice,” Herron said. This weekend also brought recognition to Allison Sadler, freshman setter, who was received the Hy-Vee Student Athlete of the Week award for the second time this season. She outset her career high of 60 assists from the previous weekend with 62 assists in a single-match performance. “Being Student Athlete of the Week is really exciting for me but honestly my team helped me
so much,” said Sadler. “We went to five sets and they all worked so hard to give me good passes and helped me get assists. I couldn’t have done it without them.” WU volleyball is currently 12-7 overall and 3-4 in conference play. The Ichabods will next face a conference matchup 7 p.m. Oct. 18 against the Southwest Baptist University Bearcats in a home game where they look to improve their MIAA record.

‘Domesticator’ begs attention on campus Julia Eilert Allie Broockerd Steven Dennis Washburn Review
The Domesticator is a recent addition to the sculptures present on Washburn’s campus, courtesy of Scott Wallace. The piece features a dog balanced on top of two spheres, looking down toward the ground. “It looks more like a chess piece to me, it’s very unique,” said Derrick Bentham, sophomore criminal justice major, “I like the dog on top of it.” The statue stands between Morgan Hall and the Memorial Union. It peers at pedestrians, calling for perspective and questions as to the meaning of the piece. “I was thinking more of how you have to be something you’re not to try to impress the world,” said Allison Elsbernd, senior. Opinions across campus have been varied, but the piece has been noticed. “It kind of looks like a dog taking a dump,” said Cyrus

The exhibit features artists from the state of Kansas and beyond. “I’d be interested in knowing the casting process of it because it has a seam down the middle,” said Carl Dillman, a Washburn alumni with a BA in anthropology. “It looks whimsical and lighthearted.” Each of the selected sculptures received an honorarium of $1,500 for their presentation. “It’s different,” said Jeanna Lee, Washburn alumnus. “I don’t know what it means, but I’d like to.” The art piece’s true meaning is to be determined by its audience.

you ever find yourself hurting because you have lost someone, just remember to reminisce on the good times and know that someone here at Washburn loves and cares about you. My fellow Ichabod, I now challenge you to go out of your way to tell at least five people that you appreciate or care about them whether it is another student, faculty member, or friend/family member. Watch how it shapes your own attitude by being thankful, and who knows? You may even make someone’s day. If you see me around campus let me know how it goes or if the challenge had an impact on you personally. I’d love to hear about it! Thanks for reading and remember it’s always great to be a part of the Washburn Family.
