WU participates in national week without violence Julia Eilert Washburn Review julia.eilert@washburn.edu
October marks the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. From Oct. 17 to Oct. 20, the YWCA, the Interfraternal Council, WSGA, STAND and Washburn University will be hosting the Week Without Violence. The event is annually held during the third week of October. “We want every week to be without violence, but it’s really about efforts to end domestic violence specifically,” said Tessa Graf, graduate research assistant and director for the psychological services clinic. “College-aged individuals
experience very high rates of domestic violence.” Domestic violence affects men and women, and while the numbers are higher for women, Graf explained that men are less likely to report, allowing the statistics to not be wholly accurate. “There’s a huge stigma against seeking help or being abused, especially for men,” Graf said. “One of the barriers is that people don’t know how to recognize [abuse.]” A Week Without Violence was established in the U.S. in 1999. Shelley Bearman, project coordinator and sexual assault educator/preventer, said that the event is meant to bring awareness and ensure people know how and where they can
seek help when they experience domestic violence. “If we could just encourage everyone to stand up and look out for each other, that’s what makes our world a better place,” said Bearman. This year, there will be at least one event everyday throughout A Week Without Violence. “The faculty and staff care about what’s happening with our students,” said Bearman. “This is a big, important issue. They see it, and they know the repercussions of it and want to help everyone have a safe learning experience.” The Week Without Violence will wrap up on Friday, with a march and rally starting at the capitol
building. After the march, hotdogs will be cooked and provided by the Topeka Police Department. “Everyone is welcome to come march,” said Graf. “There’s so much community support for it. We would love to see lots of Washburn people there.” There are many resources available for students on campus, including a victim advocate and counseling services, and resources in the community such as the YWCA. “We want to make sure that people know how to get help,” said Bearman. “That no one feels trapped, no one has to live through an abusive relationship.”

Washburn community marches in Take Back the Night Emily Unruh
Washburn Review emily.unruh@washburn.edu
According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women, and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while attending college. A group gathered on the evening of Oct. 12 on the north Memorial Union lawn to participate in Take Back the Night. Students, faculty and members of the community came together to march across campus, listen to the stories of survivors of sexual assault and hold a candlelight vigil. The goal of the event was to bring about awareness of sexual assault and relationship violence, and to show support to survivors. Various Washburn organizations such as Washburn University Police and the Washburn Student Government Association collaborated with the YWCA to create a night dedicated to stopping sexual violence. Jericho Hockett, professor of psychology, started the night off by addressing some of Washburn’s own sexual violence concerns. Hockett referenced recent
reports of rapes in Lincoln Hall, and addressed the trend of Lincoln being referred to as the “rape hall.” “To call Lincoln Hall the ‘rape hall,’ tells other individuals who experience sexual or relationship violence and are thinking of reporting that we won’t remember the fact that it takes courage to make those reports,” Hockett said. “[This] diminishes the voices of those
in which we as a community support survivors in ways that send a powerful message of solidarity and support. Erica Hastings, freshman, said that it was important for her to attend this event because sexual violence needs to be discussed more often and taken more seriously. After listening to several speakers discuss the impor-

who have reported and perpetuates a culture of fear among those residents who may live on campus that their homes are not, and never will be safe.” Hockett suggested that students call Lincoln the “hall of justice” or the “hall of the brave” instead. Hockett challenged students to look toward the future,
tance of the event, participants gathered together, holding signs saying “consent,” “No Excuses” and “no means no,” and chanted similar messages as they marched across Washburn’s campus. Members of the Topeka community came out to show support for the march on Washburn, including
Donna Schultz and Jamie Kendall. “[We came to] support college women so that they know people are here to be behind them [and support them] in reporting violence and making sure that it stops,” Schultz said. Not only were community members out to support, but students from Washburn and other universities attended in a sign of solidarity and support. Memerey Revels, sophomore, brought Mesa Weidenbach, a friend and freshman at Emporia State. “We are on a college campus and things like this go unnoticed,” Revels said. “If it goes unnoticed, we’ll have more victims.” For Weidenbach, the event was a little more personal, and was a form of healing. Take Back the Night allowed survivors to be surrounded by a supportive community, and Mesa said that it was important not only that she was supported but also that she supported others, too, because she knows that “they need it more than anything.” The evening finished with a story from a domestic
violence survivor, speaking about the impact her assault had upon her. She called for people to report instances of abuse and to support those who have spoken up. Afterward, Oshara Meesha and Linda Daniels, Topeka residents, brought drums and played a steady beat focused on calling a healthy spirit to the event as participants lit candles and sang “This Little Light of Mine.” While the candles were lit, the group shared a moment of silence, as everyone reflected on the message behind this event. WUPD then passed out cookies and hot chocolate, ending the event. Hockett said that she believes in a different future. “When rape occurs, it will be a rare instance,” Hockett said. “In that future, when it does occur, we can support and empower survivors.” Take Back the Night was focused on sending a powerful message drawing awareness to sexual violence and to say that no member of the Washburn community has to stand alone and unsupported in the face of sexual assault.

The fun at Washburn’s art department is never halfbaked. In an effort to raise money and encourage the community to engage in the arts, the Washburn Process Coalition put on Throw Night Oct. 13 in the art building. Students and members of the community came into the ceramics room to work with clay, make pottery and peruse the projects that art majors had worked on throughout the semester. “It just really lets people into the process,” Stevie Delgado, junior graphic design and ceramic sculpture double major said. “We love to show people behind the scenes and the work

Farley discusses new campus, iAlert system Allie Broockerd
Washburn Review allie.broockerd@washburn.edu
Washburn President Jerry Farley held an open meeting with members of the student body Oct. 13. for Fridays with Farley, his monthly event where he discusses current events with the student body in the Union Underground. Farley began this month’s discussion by reflecting upon his past experiences as a college student. He told students that he did not have much direction when he graduated high school. “I didn’t even know what
college was,” Farley said. “I came from a small town in Southwest Oklahoma and nobody I knew went and neither of my parents went. I liked to take tests, so I took the ACT and they wanted you to write down the three colleges you were the most interested in attending on it. I only knew two, because I had visited them when I was in the marching band. I wrote those two down and the next thing I knew I was enrolled at the University of Oklahoma.” Farley next discussed his struggle in deciding what

to major in while attending OU. “I didn’t have any idea what I wanted to do,” Farley said. “I changed majors several times. I wasn’t thinking about what a job would be like, I just took classes I liked. I started as a math major, then I decided I wanted to be a pilot. After that, I had a friend tell me I should be an aerospace engineer. Well, that was not a good move. I was not cut out to be an engineer at all. I eventually wound up in the business school in accounting.” Farley believes Washburn does a good job of helping students find their paths in life. Farley also spoke about an opportunity for Washburn to reach a wider part of the Topeka community. A building in east Topeka is set to be renovated into another Washburn campus. The new campus will offer introductory healthcare programs, tech programs, truck driving courses and aide in building trade skills. Students will also be able to take GED preparatory courses and the GED test.
These opportunities are part of Washburn’s effort to reach a larger portion of Topeka citizens who want to further their education. “The east side is not feeling the love from Topeka right now,” Farley said. “There have been complaints about no curbs, gutters or street lights in some areas. The idea of the building is symbolic as well as useful. We are willing to reach out and make education more convenient and bring attention to that part of Topeka.” The iAlert system includes text message, email and phone call services to inform students about incidents on campus was also discussed. Farley asked students their opinions in regards to Washburn University Police Department’s recent awareness notification bulletin sent via email in response to a sexual assault reported in Lincoln Hall. Police had concluded that this incident was not a threat to others on campus, as the incident involved parties who knew one another. However, the intended purpose of the
iAlert system is to send an alert to students during an event that may be a current threat to them, but the iAlert was sent out to keep students informed. Farley questioned students whether or not they felt the iAlert system had been used appropriately. Zac Surrit, budget director of Washburn Student Government Association and junior public administration major, said that he thought the recent iAlert raised awareness for sexual assault. “I personally like the way that the iAlert is being done now,” Surrit said. “Students feel like they are being heard. People are becoming more comfortable with reporting rape. WSGA immediately wrote a statement about standing in solidarity with the victim after the report of sexual assault.” Farley ended the conversation by encouraging students to get involved in the homecoming activities in the upcoming week. The next Fridays with Farley will take place at noon Nov. 3 in the Union Underground.
Homecoming ball begins royalty voting process Lieurance was announced as a candidate during the ball, and said that initially she wasn’t sure if she fit into the vision of what a homecoming candidate should be. “If you would have asked me my freshman year if I thought I would be a homecoming candidate, I would’ve said no,” Lieurance said. “My freshman year of college I felt like dropping out, I wasn’t involved in anything, it wasn’t good. As I got more involved, that changed. Now looking back on my last four years, it’s sad that it’s coming to an end.” Voting for king and queen candidates opened 8:30 p.m. Monday night during the ball. Votes can be placed through student myWashburn accounts. The crowning will take place during the homecoming game Oct. 21 against the University of Central Missouri Mules.

“Tonight, call me captain.” Caleb Soliday, sophomore political science major and chief of staff of the WSGA, said into a microphone to a rowdy crowd of students. Soliday worked as hype man and organizer for the Homecoming Ball Monday, Oct. 16. He donned a festive captain’s outfit, which fit into the ‘Bods at Sea’ homecoming theme. “I started with what we had last year, the photo booth, DJ and food,” Soliday said. “It definitely takes some networking to organize an event like this, but it turned out great.” The ball again featured a photo booth where students could pose for pictures with friends and the Washburn A/B room had been successfully converted into a dance floor. Most students danced under flashing lights.

recommendation forms and interviews with the nominees. “I felt like I had a good interview, but part of me also didn’t think I gave the answers they wanted,” said Jenny Lieurance, senior communication studies major. “I was nervous going into the interview, but then I realized the panel of judges were all people that I knew.”

WU values unite bods past, present Integrity, excellence, accountability, respect, collaboration and innovation. These core values are what homecoming is really about. The editorial team has spent a lot of time in the past few weeks looking through former yearbooks dating back over a century. Washburn pride is something that has prevailed through the generations and the unifying factors over the years are the values that we live by as a university. Campus is buzzing this week with the excitement that comes with homecoming. People are tired from late nights building floats, decorating top hats and creating banners. Offices around campus are covered in nautical decor and some of Washburn’s finest Ichabods are representing the university as royalty candidates. The culmination of all the

homecoming events however are tied together by the core values of Washburn. We are united by the binding values that make our college unique. As we go through homecoming week, take the opportunity to work with and meet people that you maybe otherwise would not have come in contact with. Say hello
to some alumni at the tailgate. They will be reminiscing on their homecoming days at Washburn and you likely have more in common with them than you realize. If nothing else, keep in mind Washburn’s core values as you go through this week. Exemplify what it means to be an Ichabod and remember
to take a moment to enjoy the festivities. These are the days we will look back on fondly and remember what it was like to represent our university with pride, a bit of competitiveness and with true Washburn spirit in the name of integrity, excellence, accountability, respect, collaboration and innovation.
Redefining scouting without gender Emily Unruh Washburn Review emily.unruh@washburn.edu
For more than a century, the Boy Scouts of America have been exclusively male. As of now, however, Boy Scouts will be allowing girls to join Cub Scouts starting next year. This divisive decision isn’t the only instance of push back that Boy Scouts has faced in recent years. In 2013, the organization put an end to the ban of gay scouts and in January 2017, formally announced that they would allow transgender children who identified as male to enroll as Boy Scouts. Allowing girls to join Cub Scouts continues the cycle of inclusion that Boy Scouts is working to improve upon. However, the question that
Advertising Managers *Ariele Dutton *Erica Faulkinbury
this decision brings to my mind is what this means for Girl Scouts. Two years after Boy Scouts began in 1910, Juliette Garden “Daisy” Low formed Girl Scouts. In a time when society allowed women very few rights, the mission of Girl Scouts was to prepare girls for the world through development of practical skills and outdoor activities. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have always existed in a sort of separate world, both more or less isolated from one another. Allowing girls to now cross that divide into Boy Scouts forces the two to redefine and update their relationship. What does combining the two mean for the separate organizations? If you were to ask Girl Scouts, they are less than happy about the decision.
Lisa Margosian, a spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts, said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune that she believes the decision will do harm to Girl Scouts. “So much of a girl’s life is a life where she is in a coed environment, Margosian said. “And we have so much research and data that suggests that girls really thrive in an environment where they can experiment, take risks and stretch themselves in the company of other girls.” I was unhappy in my own Girl Scout troop because we only learned how to do traditionally feminine skills, such as knitting and cooking. Meanwhile, my little brother learned survival skills and how to camp. Simply combining the two, however, fails to look
at the deeper problem within society: Female groups are made to conform to outdated patriarchal ideals of what women should be. It seems only in the presence of men do we have the ability to teach women strength. This isn’t to say that we shouldn’t have coed scout groups, or that the two organizations shouldn’t update their relationship, but I think that we first have to fix the deeper problem of why we segregate activities and skill building based on gender. If girls are unsatisfied in Girl Scouts, we should seek to understand why girls feel unhappy within their preexisting groups, not bash attempts to make children’s scouting experiences more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Washburn Review steven.dennis@washburn.edu
Washburn University’s jazz ensembles just can’t stop the beat this October. The concert, which took place Oct. 12 in White Concert Hall, featured Washburn’s three jazz ensembles. Craig Treinen, assistant professor and director of Washburn’s jazz studies, and Tom Morgan, director of percussion studies, conducted the concert. “The Concert Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble II, usually consists of freshmen and sophomores, so first year students,” Treinen said. “The vocal jazz group consists of vocal majors and non-majors. Jazz Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble I, is our top jazz ensemble, and it is usually full of music majors. There are some non-majors in there as well.” Throughout the night, the three ensembles performed a variety of jazz staples and

contemporary hits, including “Windows” by Chick Corea, “Love is Here to Stay” by George Gershwin and “Brazilian Love Affair” by George Duke. Treinen said that his students perform and are exposed to many different music genres and styles. “We will be playing a lot of jazz standards and some new, contemporary pieces, and then some pieces from some well-known artists,” Treinen said. “There’s all
different kinds of styles. We have a waltz, we have a funk piece in there, we have a couple of blues charts, a Latin piece. There is mixture of styles and varieties for everybody.” Additionally, many of the pieces that were performed featured improvised solos played by the students. “I think what inspired me to do jazz is that it’s never the same,” Treinen said. “When you play jazz and you’re improvising, it’s all
created and made on the spot. It’s always different.” Some of the students performing enjoyed learning and playing the eclectic set list. “I just love playing the music that we played,” said Ty’Rese Mendez, saxophonist and freshman music education major. Dalton Imhoff-Brey, freshman music performance major, said that he has enjoyed working with other music students on the
concert. “It’s just a lot of fun, just getting to hang with these guys and play some great music,” Imhoff-Brey said. “I would encourage a lot more people to come to it. It’s a great time.” Treinen brought out his saxophone and joined the Jazz Orchestra’s performance in their the grand finale as they played “Brazilian Love Affair” by George Duke. Treinen encouraged people who are new to the jazz world to step out of their comfort zone and attend the jazz ensembles’ next performance 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 at White Concert Hall. “If you have never heard a big band play before live, come,” Treinen said. “It’ll change your life forever.” Washburn’s jazz ensembles will return to the stage this winter for their classical and holiday themed concert.
Q&A petitions Washburn over gender identities Sarah Miller
Washburn Review sarah.miller6@washburn.edu
Please select gender: male, female, non-binary? Washburn University Queers & Allies, a student organization focused on raising awareness for those that are negatively affected by gender norms, has started a petition for the university to make some progressive changes to all its official forms: adding more options when one specifies their gender. Queers & Allies originally started this petition last year under the direction of Amanda McGuire, former Queers & Allies president and recent Washburn grad. “I decided to create this petition because I know a lot of people who don’t use binary pronouns,” McGuire said. “I myself have dealt with the frustration of only having two options, male or female, since I don’t identify as either.” Since last year, leadership has shifted to Michael
· Photos can include up to 3 people
Anschutz, senior English education major. He said that he feels prepared and excited to pursue the petition again. According to Anschutz, the club had difficulty finding support for the petition the previous year. Even though they had the support of many faculty and staff members, they fell short on student signature numbers. “When we started the petition last year, we had a lot of faculty that were interested,” Anschutz said. “We actually had to change the wording of the petition from ‘We the students…’ to include faculty.” Anschutz and the rest of the club hope to get several hundred signatures in order to show the university that there is a legitimate interest in this movement on campus. Even in the event that the petition does not succeed this year, the group aims to spark conversations about what it means to identify as a non-binary person.
“Even if we fail, I would be alright with that,” Anschutz said. “Because at least we started the process and got the information out to the public. Many issues in queer rights take years and years to happen, but someone has to start demanding equal treatment in order to get anywhere.” Queers & Allies is encouraging Washburn to be more proactively accepting of nontraditional gender identities. The university has an extensive inclusivity policy on discrimination, but McGuire still feels that Washburn is behind in the times. She believes that it should follow the lead of other universities and become actively inclusive by opening up official forms to people of all gender identities. Anschutz believes that raising awareness and making the university more inclusive would be beneficial to the Washburn community. “Logistically speaking,

Sharon Draper speaks at annual conference Tambour Bieker
Washburn Review tambour.bieker@washburn.edu
Washburn hosted the 24th Annual Writing Conference and Literature Festival Oct. 10 in Washburn A/B. Middle school and high school students from Emporia, Junction City and Topeka’s 501 district came to listen to guest authors and lecturers talk about young adult literature. This is the second year that Washburn has hosted the event. This year’s featured author and speaker was Sharon Draper, best known for her critically acclaimed novel “Copper Sun.” In Draper’s
speech, she told attendees that “quality takes time.” She said that “Tears of a Tiger,” her first novel, was sent to 25 different publishing companies before finally signing a deal with Simon & Schuster. “Tears of a Tiger” has since been translated into 22 different languages and has allowed her to travel around the world to speak about the importance of literature. Before becoming a published author, Draper was an English teacher for 30 years. She said that she always encouraged her students to read and write beyond the classroom. When asked by a student why she started writing,
Draper said that her passion drove her to pursue it. “[I’m not in it] for the money, that’s for sure,” Draper said. “You don’t make money starting off. You write for the love of writing.” This festival is put together each year by John “Jack” Bushman. According to Bushman, this year’s attendance was double that of last year’s. When making his selection for this year’s guest author, he said that Draper has been a longtime friend of his. In years past, featured authors included Robert Cormier, Jay Asher and Richard Peck. One of the goals behind the festival is to provide

literature and inspire a love of books and writing in today’s youth. At this year’s festival, Danny Wade, associate English professor, was awarded the Friend to the Writing Conference Award. The other main goal for this conference is to provide student interaction and a form of outreach to
help kids develop a love for reading. As a main part of the literature festival, a writing contest is held in order to give the students a chance to hone their skills in writing and give them an opportunity to win prizes for their stories.
selves, women are regularly subjected to sexual harassment and sexual assault. It isn’t right and more needs to be done to eliminate this toxic culture of abuse. Work should be an environment where women feel comfortable with their coworkers and safe to report instances of abuse. We need to come together as a society and take a hard, zero tolerance policy toward sexual harassment and sexual assault, especially in the workplace. When the allegations against Weinstein came to light, his production company’s board of directors did the right thing by believing the brave women who came forward and fired him. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made the right choice as well and expelled him. While these actions in
support of victims and cutting off their abuser’s power are a step in the right direction, it won’t change the problem as a whole. Despite similar allegations in recent years, AMPAS still allows Hollywood legends like Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby as members, while Casey Affleck won an Oscar the same year numerous allegations of sexual assault were brought to the public’s attention. More work must be done, but the firing and expulsion of Weinstein in an environment known for ignoring sexual assault and sexual harassment, means we are taking steps in the right direction to make a safer world for women in general. Women deserve to be protected and not penalized for telling their stories.
Weinstein, systemic harassment must go Shi’erra Lolar
Washburn Review shi’erra.lolar@washburn.edu
Rape and harassment in the workplace is very much a problem today, and not nearly talked about enough. Often times perceived as the victim’s fault, sexual harassment and assault is an issue that is overlooked and often swept underneath the rug. One particularly disturbing instance of this have been the recent allegations against Harvey Weinstein, a famous film producer whose company Miramax was behind hits such as “Pulp Fiction” and “Clerks.” Many of Weinstein’s victims are celebrities, many whom have starred in films he has produced. Actresses such as Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne and Gwyneth Paltrow have come for-
ward, alleging acts of sexual assault, sexual harassment and abuse of power. The point is, none of these alleged acts are OK. Whether a woman is a celebrity or not, they deserve to be heard and their experiences believed. Women have always been treated as second class citizens. Only in the last century have most countries allowed women the right to vote, seek employment and serve in the military. They have been told for centuries that their place is in the home, that their wants and needs come secondary to men’s. As such, when violence or abuse occur toward women, it is generally looked at as their fault. We frequently hear statements like “What was she wearing?” or “She was asking for it.” These are not only disrespectful,
but sexist and damaging to a survivor’s mental well being. When a survivor of sexual assault or sexual harassment comes forward and is blamed, it creates a culture which exempts abusers of all responsibility and further perpetuates the cycle of abuse. Statistics show that harassment in the workplace is a growing problem that is sorely ignored. In a recent study by the Association of Women for Action and Research, over 70 percent of women in the workforce have been harassed and 51 percent claim to have been harassed by a supervisor or manager. The report also stated that one in three females between ages 18 and 34 have been sexually harassed at work. Something must be done. While doing their jobs and making a living for them-
‘Destiny 2’ generic story, exciting multiplayer Xavier Strong
Washburn Review xavier.strong@washburn.edu
Since its release in 2014, “Destiny” has been one of the most divisive video games to date. After a tumultuous development cycle in which Marty O’Donnell, veteran employee of Bungie, sued the company after being fired, “Destiny” released with what seemed like barebones content, especially compared to previous games in Bungie’s development library, such as the highly acclaimed “Halo” franchise. After receiving intense pushback for the lack of a singleplayer campaign and the game’s necessity for intense grinding for random loot drops, Bungie promised fans that “Destiny 2”
would resolve these issues. “Destiny 2,” an online-only multiplayer first person shooter, allows players to play as three classes of character: Hunter, Titan and Warlock. The objective is to work with your clan and succeed in as many raids and strikes as possible on various hostile alien planets. The game relies heavily upon longterm strategy, resource management and intensive teamwork amongst players. For many fans, “Destiny 2” is a step in the wrong direction. Despite having a visually spectacular cinematic campaign, the story is uninspired and generic for the most part. It fails to explain any of the mythology behind the mysterious “Traveler” introduced in the beginning of the story or the origin of its pow-
er, instead relying on the expanded universe for answers. With no new enemy races, simplified skill trees, and a copy and paste feeling from the first game “Destiny 2” instead feels like what the original game was meant to be, and as such, a re-release instead of a progression in design, gameplay and story-telling. That being said, for newcomers, “Destiny 2” is a fantastic experience in gaming. With some of the tightest shooting mechanics to date, the smooth gameplay and diverse worlds and experiences awaiting in game will keep gamers engaged for quite some time. After finishing the story, players can revisit each planet to participate in public arena gameplay, compete in PvP multiplayer or chal-

lenge their teamwork with friends in the acclaimed Raid Mode. By far the most enjoyable yet frustrating experience of “Destiny 2,” Raid Mode forces players to use precise teamwork to defeat Callus, the formidable alien warlord, in a strenuous boss battle. With two announced
expansions, “Destiny 2” is worth your time as long as you were not heavily invested in an immersive, fleshed out campaign or a different experience from the first game. Enjoy it for what it is, not what it could be.

Space Celebration pulls children toward science Yash Chitrakar
Washburn Review yash.chitrakar@washburn.edu
The ice cream stall at the Ad Astra Kansas Space Celebration was the chillest place to be this weekend. Known for their inventive community projects and interactive experiments, Washburn Chemistry Club sold freshly made liquid nitrogen ice cream while doling out scientific facts to the general public. Their stall was one of fifteen at the event, which aimed to promote STEM programs in Kansas by focusing on space sciences. Janette Steinert, head organizer of the event, said the event was focused on getting children inspired in scientific fields. “We used space science as a medium because it makes use of all facets of science: chemistry, physics, engineering etc,” Steinert said. “We want kids to be interested in science.” Sarah Lamm’s presentation, “Red Planet, Red

Planet: Let Curiosity Scan It,” exemplified the event’s goal. Lamm showcased the various Girl Scouts who had taken an early interest in the sciences and had grown up to become astronauts. She also talked about what ignited her own interest in astronomy, and how being born in rural Kansas allowed her to view starry skies unobscured by light pollution. “Space Weather,” the other presentation of the night,
demonstrated the extreme weather conditions in space and explained how they affect earth. Apart from the presentations, the stalls, too, attracted children with live experiments and demos. Greg Inkmann, representing the Foundation for Aeronautical Education, hosted a free radio-controlled trial flight at his stall. He said that the presentation gave children the scientific know-how to begin learning how to fly a
real plane. A food science stall set up by Kansas State University’s food science institute sampled out astronaut food to event attendees. The foods were made my mixing dehydrated food powders and water in plastic bags. Another popular stall quizzed attendees on middle school and high school level science trivia. Chris Orensen, professor of physics at Kansas State, ran the stall and hosted demonstra-
tions explaining how light works with an assortment of lenses, polarizing filters and crystals. Tim Bruner and Nathan Maresch, Topeka locals, showed off their drone and remote-controlled autopilot plane. The stalls weren’t the only attractions, though, as crowds gathered to view the various gemstones, geodes and fossils on display. The event ended with a viewing at Washburn’s Crane Observatory. While rain made it difficult to view stars through the university’s telescope, attendees were still impressed by the tour of the observatory. According to Steinert, this year’s event was a bigger success than anticipated. “Around 350 to 400 people attended today,” Steinert said. “Last year, we had 250.” It was a proud day for both the Washburn community and STEM programs.
‘Cuphead’ delivers stunning visuals, difficulty Andrew Shermoen
Washburn Review andrew.shermoen@washburn.edu
“Cuphead,” also known as the game with so much charm that despite its main goal of ripping your heart out and crushing it between its unforgiving hands you still want to thank it for the experience. You play as Cuphead, the eponymous lead character and gambling addicted young lad with a particularly odd cranium. After one too many dice rolls, Cuphead (and his brother Mugman who is controlled in the game’s co-op mode) become indebted to the Devil himself. In order to avoid selling their immortal souls, they opt to collect on the contracts of all of the Devil’s other debtors instead. Cuphead embarks on a perilous journey to locate the monsters who must pay the ultimate price, and hopefully Cuphead can acquire the strength to beat the master of trickery himself. “Cuphead” is built around

extensive and incredibly varied boss fights. The general gameplay loop is simple: pick a boss, shoot, jump, dash and parry until your fingers bleed. If you want to succeed in “Cuphead,” you’ll need to seriously master every aspect of Cuphead’s kit. These bosses are hard, but they are fair. When you fail, you know it’s your fault and not just an overpowered boss. Each boss battle is packed with new, exciting and varied combat that keeps you always guessing and learning to develop new strategies to help you
defeat the more than 20 bosses that make up the game’s central loop. Outside of the normal boss battles, the game also has multiple platforming, run n’ gun levels as you have to progress through increasingly difficult levels heavily saturated with enemies and dangerous obstacles. These levels are just as varied, difficult and fun as the boss battles, but lack the cinematic appeal of the superior boss fights. No matter which part of the game you’re in, the big draw of “Cuphead” is, of course, its absolutely
beautiful visuals based on classic 1930s cartoons. Every frame of the game was meticulously hand-drawn, its overworld for navigating which levels to tackle is painted in watercolor with a measured hand. Every frame of animation is beautiful and packed with joie de vivre. The overall difficulty of “Cuphead” often makes for a frustrating experience, but the game never reaches the point of being truly infuriating due its charming character designs, beautiful animation, breathtaking jazz score and impressive
attention to detail. Even when you’re struggling, you can’t help but have fun. “Cuphead” isn’t perfect, though. The game’s artistic design oftentimes gets in the way of accurately communicating the presence of items that deal damage to you. Parts of the unique scenery of “Cuphead” get placed in the foreground of the game screen, which often obstructs your view of attacks that would otherwise be easily avoidable. Colorfully vibrant, fantastically difficult and infectiously fun, “Cuphead” is a definite must-play for this year. That being said, “Cuphead” is an intimidating experience not only because of its difficulty, but because a large portion of the game’s fandom will bully those who aren’t experts at the game. Don’t let them affect your experience, though. Throw yourself into the game and enjoy the whimsical ride.

Bods battle for third in MIAA Soccer faces 2 opponents The Ichabod football team looks to bounce back from its first loss since week one of the season when the team takes on Central Missouri University for Homecoming. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. in Yager Stadium as the teams battle for third place in the MIAA standings. Both teams enter the contest with identical 5-2 records. Washburn dropped a hardfought 37-20 decision to then No. 8-ranked Fort Hays State last time out snapping the Ichabods’ four-game winning streak. On the other side of the ball, the Mules are coming off a 71-22 win over Missouri Southern for their Homecoming game putting up a school-record 726 yards of total offense. The 71 points scored by UCM in the win was the highest point total by any MIAA school this season. Washburn has twice played the Mules on Homecoming at Washburn and has gone 2-0, but have not played the Mules since the 1996 season. In the game, the Ichabods will be looking to snap a fivegame losing slide to the Mules not beating Central Missouri since a 36-21 win over the Mules in Topeka Sept. 26, 2009. Ichabod junior linebacker Derrick McGreevy continues his outstanding play this season and is ranked second in the MIAA in tackles at 10.6 per contest, which also ranks him ninth in all of NCAA Division

II stats. Senior safety D.J. Olmstead collected his MIAA-best sixth interception against Fort Hays State returning it 60 yards for a touchdown and in the process snapped a Washburn record for the most interceptions returned for a touchdown in a single season with his third against the Tigers. The record was previously shared by by Fletcher Terrell (2005), Dave Bowen (1970) and Zuri Stokes (1996). The Ichabods are having a solid year in the return game with a pair of cornerbacks being ranked in both punt returns and kickoff returns. Corey Ballentine is ranked 15th in the nation and second in the MIAA in kickoff return average at 29.8 yards per return and Josh Wright is ninth in the nation in punt return average at 15.8 yards per return. Both Ichabods are also members of the Washburn track and field teams. The Ichabods are looking for their second-straight Homecoming win after beating Missouri Western last season 16-13.
The women’s soccer team returns home for a pair of matches this weekend as the team will play Missouri Western University Oct. 20 and Northwest Missouri State University Oct. 22 in Yager Stadium as part of Homecoming activities. The Ichabods have not played a home match since Oct. 1, but went 3-1 on a fourmatch road trip with the only loss coming last time out to No. 1-ranked Central Missouri in a 2-1 loss. The Ichabods enter the weekend sitting in fifth place in the MIAA standings with 12 points going 4-3-0 in
conference matches. The team is 8-3-3 this season under first year head coach Davy Phillips. Ellie Karloff Ellie Karloff leads the Ichabods with 10 points this season scoring five goals. Paige Swanson has scored four goals and in net for Washburn, Kaitlin Minnich has a 1.05 goal against average with six shutouts this season with 73 saves.
It has been five years since the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks have met in any competitive college matchup. Ever since the end of the acclaimed “Best Rivalry in College Sports” in 2012, MU and KU fans alike have been clamoring for its return. Well fans, it is finally here. It was officially announced Oct. 3 that the Kansas Jayhawks and the Missouri Tigers would face off in an exhibition game at the Sprint Center to support hurricane relief. While the tickets will not be allocated to online sales until 10 a.m. Oct. 18, and they are sure to sell fast. In fact, recent talks have placed the Border War, or Border Showdown, back into the spotlight recently with the Missouri Tigers – Staff Reports Athletic Director Jim Sterk.
The Missouri Tigers have stated that they desire to bring the acclaimed rivalry back, but there is someone who sets quite a reputation at KU that will not budge about the dormant Border Showdown. “I’m sure there will be a time where Kansas and Missouri play again. I don’t know when that time will be,” said Bill Self per Gary Bedore of the Kansas City Star. While this may not be a formalized return of the once great rivalry of the Big 12, you will definitely see high competition in this exhibition match.

Washburn Review trevor.beurman@washburn.edu
The WU golf team hosted and competed in its invitational Oct. 16-17. They kicked off the two day competition with a strong lead on day one. Even though they only held a one shot lead, the Ichabods bounced back from a disappointing first round. “I have played 12 holes so far, five over,” said Colton Allen, junior. “I started with a triple and a double, then went even par on the last nine, so
hopefully I can turn it around and get a couple of birdies to improve my round.” Allen, tied for 59th place, had a first round that ended five over and a second round that finished with him going eight over on the day. Blake Allen, sophomore and Colton’s brother, finished the first day with an impressive two under on the first round and three under on the second round. He lead the Ichabods and the entire field into day two, holding the Ichabods in their one shot lead position.
While the Ichabods gave a strong team performance at their invitational, the University of Central Oklahoma was not far behind. Wesley Jackson, senior at UCO, was the second best golfer of day one, as he scored a four under in the first round and an even par in the second. Also grappling for the top spot in the Washburn Invitational were Winona State University and Lindenwood University. “We’ve been playing alright,” said Carson Roberts, WU golf
assistant coach. “I’ve seen a couple of bad breaks, but they have all rebounded well.” The rest of the starting five Ichabod golfers of the day have seen rebounds in the second rounds as well. Jared Burns, sophomore, recorded a one under par in his first round while earning an even par in the second. Brooks Brown, junior, tied for 32nd place, as he put up a five over in the first and a three over in the second. Rounding out the starting five were Brock Falley, junior, who set
in a six over in the first, and four over in the second, and Turner Wintz, junior, who set in an eight over in the first and eleven over in the second. The Ichabods overall took third at their invitational, Lindenwood won first place and UCO took second. While his team came in third, Allen distinguished himself by winning individual title. The Ichabods will next compete March 5-6 in Las Vegas, NV at the Las Vegas Desert Classic at Royal Links Golf Club.

Yoga provides numerous health benefits Alicia Newberry
Contributor alicia.newberry@washburn.edu
Many college students are stressed out and overwhelmed with projects, papers, quizzes, and exams. It is recommended that students spend at least two to three hours outside of class studying for every one credit hour in which they are enrolled. That could amount to 30+ hours of additional studying. A college lifestyle is busy enough: work, family, volunteering, cooking, cleaning and maybe a social life. Let’s face it. College students do not understand what it means to stop and take a deep breath. One way to combat the stress, fatigue and weariness of college woes is yoga. Yoga is a holistic approach to excersize that integrates the oneness of mind, body and spirit. Practicing yoga daily promotes self-regulation and teaches body awareness and mindfulness. Tracy Routsong, professor of
communications studies, regularly practices yoga. “(Yoga) gives me 50 minutes of the day to refocus my attention and my energy so that I’m ready for my round 2,” Routsong said. Routsong not only recognizes the benefits of yoga as a professor, but also acknowledged the daily stress a college student may experience in regards to making it to class on time and being prepared. The International Journal of Yoga conducted a study to determine how yoga affects alertness and academic performance. They discovered that students who engaged in the yoga module academically outperformed their counterparts who did not practice yoga. The study indicated that yoga facilitates a reduction in anxiety and improves overall concentration. They also presented with lower stress levels. Yoga and meditation have the ability to change perception, attention and
cognition—which are all necessary components for being a successful college student. Here at Washburn University, yoga is offered as an activities class through the Kinesiology Department in the Petro Allied Health center. Instructor Angie Price provides her students with various vinyasa’s. A vinyasa is a flowing sequence of poses that synchronizes the breath with each posture.

Hi! I’m Erasmo Nunez, WSGA’s Campus and Community Affairs Director. I think it’s time we sit down and talk about something very serious in our lives as college students, and that’s mental health. October 10 was World Mental Health Day, making this the perfect time for us reflect on how we view and address mental health, as well as how we see ourselves in this on-going narrative. I personally used to visit often with a counselor in my youth to discuss issues I would have due to anxiety and my attention hyper-active disorder which affected my studies in school. As I matured I began to view my mental health less seriously than I should. It’s common among college students, especially those who get involved in extra-curricular activities on campus, to begin to feel honestly overwhelmed during midterm
season. So I have taken the time to sit down and think up some tools I utilize to deal with my stress which in turn helps with my anxiety. 1. Check Lists Save Lives Trust me when I say this, even if you are unorganized, if you sit down and write out all the things you need to do, it may seem super overwhelming. But once you sit down and start getting things done you feel little busts of joy as you check things off that list. This is a super simple tool helps me accomplish tasks without overthinking too much. 2. The Weekends Are Truly Amazing After being constantly busy Monday to Friday working that 9 to 5 to please the man, or whatever, you need some time to get relaxed in whatever way you think is best suited for you. Maybe that means not checking e-mails or not doing homework until Sunday at noon. Take advantage of every second. I know procrastination isn’t the best option, but it’s better than never having time off. 3. Plan Ahead, and Thank Yourself Later Time management is key to leading a busy lifestyle, stress free.
out the day. Some activities that can help keep you active and also qualify as exercise is anything that makes the body move, such as mowing the lawn, gardening, walking the dog, cleaning the house, etc. These are very simple goals that will dramatically reduce your risk of accruing the many disorders associated with a sedentary life. Some of the most common problems are hypertension, dyslipidemia, prediabetes/diabetes, and obesity. To reduce the risk of such diseases, follow the ACSM guidelines of an active lifestyle and avoid sitting for long periods of time. It has been found that sitting for long periods of time can increase the risk of acquiring some disorders associated with sedentary lifestyle. If you’re good at it, you’ll plan a time of the week each week where you don’t have anything to do but hang out, or do homework. If you remember that you like having Thursdays off, don’t schedule anything after your last class. This gives you time to do whatever during the week and gives you a little goal to reach the weekend. We all have days where things are just slow. Take advantage of those days. 4. Counseling Washburn offers free counseling services to students - take advantage of it. Most people know it’s there but they just don’t go. If you are struggling or just need someone to vent to and be on your side then you should go. Everyone talks about it, but not enough people actually follow through. Don’t let the first time you go be in the event of you breaking down. It’s so worth it to research and find out what resources are available to you as a student. Fall is a challenging time of year for people, and stress can pile up. I want you all to know that you will make it through and you have my support.
One way to reduce this is by getting up and walking around at least once an hour to break up the amount of time we sit. This one minute of standing and moving resets the metabolic systems in your body, which causes lipid profiles to drop. Over the past three years, you’ve seen this idea
being implemented into smartwatches like the Apple Watch that reminds you to stand every hour. You can have technology, researchers and doctors telling you to do these things but it’s ultimately up to you to make an achievable plan of action and get started.
