ONE FIVE ZERO 2015 saw Washburn University celebrate 150 years as an institution of higher learning. Like the previous 149, this year was marked with equal amounts of trial and triumph, struggle and success. As individuals, we were challenged to reach new levels of personal and academic achievement. As Ichabods, not only did we meet these goals, but many of us reached heights previously thought unattainable.

Staying true to the motto “Not for Ourselves Alone,” the last several months saw people from all walks of life come together to ensure that no obstacle would go unconquered. If one Ichabod fell, another would be right there to pick them up. If one Ichabod was hungry, another would be right there with a plate of food. If one Ichabod suffered injustice, a legion would rally behind them in support. Communities were born through controversy and a shared dedication to equality, integrity and basic human decency created bonds that will undoubtedly remain unbroken for years to come.

This year was about so much more than going to class, taking notes and passing the final. This was a year characterized by personal growth and making a meaningful contribution to the common good. This year was about so much more than simply being part of a 150 year tradition. This was a year that presented each of us the opportunity to redefine what it means to be an Ichabod and lay the foundation for tomorrow’s legacy.

With 150 years of history behind us and infinity on the horizon, we must remember to remain informed by the past, aware of the present and prepared for the future. And never forget,

#WeAreWU.

During the March to End Rape Culture, students pass through Lot 9 carrying decorated cardboard signs. The intention of the march was to raise awareness about rape culture in the United States. STAND, or Students Together Advocating Nonviolence in Dating, organized the event. The demonstrators march around campus and chant the phrase “Yes means yes and no means no whatever we wear, wherever we go.� The March to End Rape Culture was one of several events this year meant to combat sexual violence on campus.

Construction

By Cynthia Rose

2014 saw the beginning of construction of two buildings on the Washburn University campus. Morgan Hall began construction for renovation in February and will become the new welcome center.

Construction of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation Forensic Science Center, which will share approximately 10 to 12 percent of the building with the Criminal Justice Department, began construction in May. Both are scheduled to be completed in 2015, the year of Washburn Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sesquicentennial.

The KBI Building will have some adjunct professors from KBI teaching at Washburn on the criminal justice side of the building.

Some Washburn students will be able to intern on the KBI side. The two will also share a central part of the structure. Washburn and the KBI worked together for years to develop the project.

The KBI Forensic Center will allow new programs to be

developed for the Criminal Justice Department. Forensic scientists gather physical and other evidence to analyze and help solve crimes. One notable setup is related to digital forensics. It will target hackers who use computers and other mobile devices for pornography, embezzlement and other criminal activity.

Morgan Hall construction saw the displacement of classes and offices to other buildings, Memorial Union and Henderson Learning Center. Some of these offices and classes will return to Morgan Hall, but others have found their new homes and will stay.

Morgan Hall is scheduled for May. Some interior offices have already been completed.

Other offices such as the office for President Jerry Farley will be available for occupancy before the May deadline.

The KBI Forensic Science Center will be completed in time for 2015 fall graduation.

The top level of the tower at Morgan Hall, which was for roof access, will be coming down after construction is finished in the area.

Family Day Often times, as a family drops their child off at university, they are not completely aware of what their children will experience and be exposed to while on campus.

However, Washburn University has developed a day to invite families of students to come and experience the learning and social environment their children live in while on campus.

Family Day, held each September is packed full of games, activities and events for all ages.

Events and activites include story reading, arts & crafts and face painting.

Later in the day, students, along with their friends and families, gathered outside of Yager Stadium for a tailgate party leading up to the big homecoming game between the Ichabod football team and the Pittsburg State Gorillas.

From the activities, to the football game and simply just being on campus, families were truly able to see what being an Ichabod is all about. All who attended were able to walk away with smiles and great memories.

Washburn University students are among tens of millions of people worldwide taking part in the phenomenon that is League of Legends.

League of Legends is an online multiplayer battle arena game, in which teams of five compete against each other, each player controlling a “champion.”

There are over 120 champions to choose from in the game, each with different abilities.

Some universities offer scholarships for League of Legends players, and as far out as that may seem, it’s a very financially practical idea.

Why? League of Legends players win money in tournaments nearly every day across the world.

And the prize for the World Finals champions?

$1 million.

ALS Awareness Phi Delta Theta fraternity hosted a variety of events to raise awareness and money for ALS research.

“This is our philanthropy week,” said Jake Gregg, President of Phi Delta Theta. “We’re raising money for the ALS association in honor of Lou Gehrig. He was a member of our fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, in the early 1900s. As many people know, ALS was named Lou Gehrig’s after him.”

That week, Phi Delta Theta hosted a variety events including Pie-aPhi, which collected donations to cream a member of Phi Delta Theta in the face. Besides Pie-a-Phi, they tabled at a baseball game, hosted a

Article and photos by Stephanie Cannon

pasta dinner night at their fraternity and finally had a Dunk-a-Phi and fish fry to round off their week of ALS awareness.

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is believed to affect around 30,000 Americans, with 5,600 new cases being diagnosed each year.

According to the ALS Association’s website, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The symptoms not only progress with time but they’re devastating to those who have the disease. The ALS Association addresses the symptoms, stating that the progressive degeneration of the

motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.

When the neurons die, a person’s brain is no longer able to respond and can no longer move muscles.

In the last stages of the disease a person may no longer have any control of their muscles, leading to total paralyzation.

Dyllan Calderwood, Charlie Shuck, Benjamin Talley and Colby Woodland were running the Pie-aPhi event.

“I feel bubbling in my ears, but it’s for a good cause,” said Dyllan Calderwood after being creamed

Young Americans for Liberty This year the student organization Young Americans for Liberty hosted an event to raise awareness about criminalization in the United States. Brian Ashley and Matthew Becker created a jail cell and booking backdrop so that students could pose for photos while learning about the risks and issues American citizens face on a daily basis.

“Essentially, we’re trying to raise awareness about over-criminalization in the United States,” Matthew Becker said, a senior political science major. “We have five percent of the world’s population and 25 percent of the total population of incarcerated people.”

Issues like this have become a part of the national spotlight this school year alongside reports that have included police overstepping their bounds and harming those in their custody.

“Generally, the idea is innocent until proven guilty, and it actually goes to show

that’s really not the case and we’re trying to help highlight that,” said Brian Ashley, a senior mass media major. “If nothing else, [we want to] give students some basic information on what they can do if they find themselves in a situation like this.”

Ashley advised students to know their rights and to be confident in what they do in order to protect themselves, including tips about how to deal with the police.

The tips, printed on a business card, included things you could say to the police, such as “I do not consent to any searches” or “Am I free to go, or am I being detained?”, and a list of ten points about how to deal with the police, number one being always be calm and cool.

“Once you get part of the system, it’s a lot harder to get out of it,” Ashley said.

“But the nice part is . . . there’s a lot of things you can do before any of this happens.”

The Mulvane 2015 is the 90th anniversary of the Mulvane Art Museum on Washburn’s campus. In 1924 the museum first opened its doors to the public and the students at Washburn University.

The museum is named for Joab Mulvane, a railroad tycoon who donated $50,000 to build the Mulvane on the Washburn University campus.

By 1940 the museum owned 57 works of art. Today the collection is more than 3,000 strong. This year the museum has showcased many of the artworks it has accumulated over its 90 years and 40 of those works of art were chosen to represent the collection in the “Masters of the Mulvane” exhibit.

“These 40 works represent some of the best of our collection,” said museum curator Julia Myers.

“We have artwork going back from the 16th century forward.

We have a self-portrait by Rembrandt and we have a piece

by Miriam Schapiro, a leader in the feminist art movement. It is a really significant work from her.”

Myers pointed out that the collection comes from many places locally and around the world. “We have so many different

By Cindy Rose Photo by Chelsea Howe nationalities represented here, from Switzerland to the Flathead nation.”

The Mulvane has paintings from such notable “masters” as Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso.

There is a painting by Francisco de Goya and several other notable artists’ works in The Mulvane’s permanent collection on display for the anniversary.

“It is really important for us to have this exhibit because we have a collection that many people don’t know about,” said Connie Gibbons, director of the museum.

“We have a responsibility to show, share and talk about it.”

The Mulvane has showcased many artists from Kansas and is proud to hang artwork from local artists including those from former students and professors.

In the basement of the Mulvane is the Art Lab that welcomes children of all ages and brings art to schools in the area that would not otherwise receive art education because of government cutbacks. The Art Lab is a free enterprise that is widely used by the young and old of the community.

The sculpture, titled “Scaled Reflections,” was constructed on the front lawn by Mark Monette’s Design II class. It was an interactive sculpture that tied in and reflected student artwork inside. #$%&$'($)*

Theatre

By Grace Foiles

The Washburn University Theatre Department has produced several classic pieces this season along with a few exciting contemporary pieces. The year began with Samuel Beckett’s absurdist tragicomedy “Waiting for Godot,” followed by three short student written plays: “Petrol” by Cal Phoenix, “Choices” by Austin Swisher, and “Stick Winter” by Kerry Wright. Next came a production of “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, a show about the Salem witch trials, which paralleled the Red Scare in America during the Cold War. The department’s subsequent show was a contemporary piece titled “The Other Place” by Sharr White. The show followed

44

the struggle of a woman with early onset dementia and it was performed as reader’s theater where all performers carried their scripts and remained onstage for the entire performance. Then came Tennessee Williams’ classic drama “The Glass Menagerie,” which told the tragic story of the Wingfield family, struggling to survive in St. Louis during the Great Depression. Over the summer the university is put on “Mauritus,” a high-stakes drama about stamp collecting. Whether it’s putting on classic or contemporary pieces, the Washburn Theatre Department is a hard-working and passionate department dedicated to theatre.

Student speaks at TEDx-Topeka When the organizers of TEDxTopeka reached out to Phillip “Brail” Watson about speaking at their first-ever event, participation was the furthest thing from his mind. In fact, he almost overlooked the invitation altogether.

“I was asked in a random email and had no idea what they were talking about at first,” said Watson. “I was busy at the time with two or three concerts coming up, so I figured I would come back to it, which probably meant I was going to forget about it.”

However, fate intervened in the form of a chance encounter with a friend involved with the event who managed to persuade Watson to take part. Between classes, his involvement with the five different string and vocal ensembles and a slew of other artistic and business endeavors, Watson managed to come up with a presentation that landed him a spot as one of TEDxTopeka’s featured speakers.

While this might not be the traditional approach to altruism, Watson, a dual vocal and cello major who graduated in May, believes the community needs to take a new look at an old problem.

A born performer who has made a name for himself on the local hip-hop scene, Watson used music to help drive his message home by ending his presentation in song.

“I want to show people that every little bit helps,” Watson said. “The time that you spend to mentor a kid helps, the fact that you donate your time and resources to show someone that you care helps, and the fact that those people aren’t beyond help should give you an incentive to do that

knowing that it will end up paying back.”

His chosen topic, while rooted in personal experience, was one that he feels the Topeka community as a whole should examine.

“Topeka has an unbelievably high crime rate for its size. Knowing some of the people who commit those crimes, being in some of the neighborhoods where a lot of crime occurs and working in the school system, I can see where a lot of that stuff comes from,” Watson said. “I want to shed light on the other side of the tracks. I want to show that a lot of these people are giving back to their communities; they’re giving back exactly what was shown.

“There’s a jazz group called Acoustic Alchemy who wrote a piece called ‘Playing for Time,’ and I wrote a mash-up piece over the top of that titled ‘Giving Back.’ I’m going to rap, I’m going to sing, then I’m going to do a cello solo over the end of the song,” Watson said.

TEDxTopeka took place Wednesday, Nov. 12 at the Topeka Civic Theatre. The presentations were filmed and posted online to be shared with the global TED community.

“I’m doing a presentation called ‘Giving Back.’ The whole premise behind it is that giving back is kind of a selfish act and it’s destroying our city,” Watson said. “The idea is that you can only give back what you’ve been given.”

Where the musician in Watson strives to entertain, his main goal at TEDxTopeka was to enlighten and give the audience a different perspective on how they can give back to the community.

Library

By Cynthia Rose

( Mabee Library has been going through growing pains and changes since the new generation of college students began attending college, beginning around the time the millennial generation began attending Washburn University.

The librarian of the old days was the archetypal lady in the bun who shushed everyone to stay quiet. “But the librarian of today is about engaging and has a genuine concern for student success,” said educational librarian Sean Stacey.

‘The librarian of the past provided a service,” said Sean Bird, associate dean of libraries. “The librarian of today is not only about service but also about fostering, building and maintaining relationships.”

The Center for Student Success opened in Mabee Library in November 2013. Its aim is to bring services and retention into the library, which has been part of the university initiative since 2012. Students, especially those who are undeclared and new students, are able to see advisors, do placement testing and become involved in the First year Expe-

rience.

FYE is a program that supports the academic and social transitions for all first-year students. It involves support and promotes empowerment to ensure student success.

Mabee Library has moved and expanded its tutoring center to the third floor and a new quiet room has also been added there.

The needs of the Millennials and beyond are being met head-on at the library. More computers are becoming available to use or rent so a student doesn’t have to haul a computer to the library, and iPads are becoming available through limited use.

“The student of today is much different from a generation ago,” Bird said. “New students are adept at community.

They are hyper-social. Technology makes us huge but it also makes us very local. We recognize people’s lives are more complicated now.”

Mabee Library is working to provide a whole range of services to meet the needs of the new generations as they arrive at Washburn University.

Mock Trial wins at regionals The Washburn mock trial team had a long season this year, making it to what were essentially the national semifinals.

The journey began in August when the American Mock Trial Association distributed the case that all mock trial teams would be arguing over the course of the season. More than 200 hundred universities compete in mock trial.

Washburn took part in three tournaments in the 2014 fall semester.

“The first semester of every year is usually working out the kinks of the case,” said senior Devon Tarantino, treasurer of Washburn’s mock trial team. “AMTA’s also going to release some case changes to make some minor corrections to smooth the case out evenly [and] make sure both sides are weighted evenly.”

Washburn’s mock trial program is split into two teams: team 1118 and 1119.

Tarantino said both teams were “equally stacked.”

“There was not an A team or a B team, a varsity or JV team,” she said.

Washburn law students, assistant professor of communication studies Jim Schnoebelen and attorney Danielle Hall coach the

teams.

Tarantino said the teams began preparing for regionals in November and continued through January.

During this time, the team fine tuned its strategies and solidified who would be playing which role during the tournament.

In the tournaments, each team has three students acting as attorneys and three students acting as witnesses. Both teams must argue both sides of the case that was released by AMTA at the beginning of the school year.

“Basically, second semester is when you start to hammer down,” Tarantino said. “That’s when, you know, teams are in preparation mode because regionals is right around the corner. So regionals happens; it starts in February.

It could be any weekend in February. Washburn hosts it every single year the third week in February.”

This year, Washburn saw great success at regionals, with team 1118 pulling off an 8-0 sweep over schools such as Kansas State, Creighton and Air Force.

Both Washburn teams earned a bid to go to the Opening Round Championship Series, which was

held March 13 through 15 at Hamline University in Anoka, Minnesota. There, Washburn met up with Creighton again, but the tournament also included schools such as Gonzaga University, Drake University and Florida State University.

The Ichabods were less fortunate in the ORCS with both teams unable to earn a berth to nationals.

“It didn’t go as well as we had hoped,” Tarantino said about the ORCS. “Yeah, it was disappointing. However, for the seniors, it won’t be the last time they’re in a courtroom, most likely, and for the juniors and sophomores and freshmen we have on the team, they will be able to compete again next year and hopefully get to nationals.”

Tarantino said mock trial is something that all aspiring attorneys are anyone who wants to be an advocate should be a part of.

“Anyone who wants to do trial advocacy and be in a courtroom and wants to advocate for clients, and has a passion to advocate, then they should definitely do it, because it gives you great first-hand experience like no other,” she said.

Porter and Mikkelsen After a month-long campaign that saw three parties vying for student votes, the team of Blake Porter and Malcolm Mikkelsen have been elected the new leaders of Washburn Student Government Association.

Porter, a junior finance/ economics major from Belleville, Kansas who served as WSGA Budget Director, will assume the role of WSGA president on April 22 with Mikkelsen as his vice president.

Running on a platform that would see WSGA become an open forum for students’ ideas and concerns, the new administration looks to give Ichabods a voice on campus matters.

“We obviously have our own policies that we’d like to enact, but we weren’t elected to just do what we want,” Porter said. “A big part of what we want to do is address students’ concerns. That might seem like a vague platform, but a lot of students we talked to really enjoyed hearing that.”

To help get students engaged, Porter would like to open the doors to the WSGA office and offer free food to students who want to come in and share their ideas.

“We want to bring them in here and make it a nonintimidating environment where they can speak,” Porter said.

Along with increased student involvement, the pair would also like to see Ichabod pride taken

to the next level. Mikkelsen, a freshman psychology and economics major from Topeka, feels the best way to achieve that is working from the inside out.

“I’d like to see a redesign of the Union,” Mikkelsen said. “We really want to make sure we get the Washburn pride that we ran out campaign on started here.

This is the central hub of campus, so we want to make sure it starts here and build on it across the rest of campus.”

Although their campaign will kick off with only a few weeks left in the semester, the pair plans to start addressing a few issues right away.

“Our big thing is to have an open forum in the WSGA office before the semester ends,” Porter said. “That way, we can have something to build on and put some ideas in place as we get ready for the fall. There are a few issues; sexual assault, we’re going to try to address that before summer, as well as smoking on campus.”

As he readies himself for his new role, Porter had this to say to Washburn students.

“If you see me on campus, do not be afraid to come up and talk to me. I would love to hear your ideas. If you just want to talk about Washburn, I’d love that as well. I know we’re elected now, but that’s no reason for us to stop listening to what everyone has to say.”

WTE

By Derek Richardson

On November 14, 2014, dozens of students showcased projects they did for the Washburn Transformational Experience. The WTE is a type of independent study for students to follow their passion in depth. It goes “beyond everyday classroom experience” and allows students to create projects that reflect their interests in at least one of four areas: community service, international education, leadership, and scholarly or creative.

Projects this year ranged from volunteering to help the homeless, to researching doctor-nurse perceptions in the workplace as well as how different home improvement companies influence consumers with their commercials.

TJ Weber, a senior in communications, did a study on president Obama’s speech on the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. He based his research off a book called “Deeds Done in Word,” written by two communications scholars.

“There’s nine different types of speeches it breaks down,” Weber said about the book, which covers presidential speeches throughout his-

tory till when it was published in 1990.

“One of the chapters is war rhetoric and what they determined were the five major characteristics of presidents from George Washington to George Bush,” Weber said.

“And after close readings of [Obama’s ISIS speech], I determined whether or not he used these characteristics.”

He found that Obama used two of the characteristics quite a bit. One of them shows that the use of force is justified through the story that he is telling and the other shows he seeks the powers as commander and chief of the military.

“What the study showed me more than anything else is that we need to relook at these characteristics,” Weber said, adding, “Should the words that presidents use affect how we define situations?”

Just across from Weber was another student, a senior in anthropology, Patrick Barry.

He did a project titled “The Performance of Irish Republicanism: Martyrdom, Celtic Identity, and International Solidarity.”

In Memory Coach Steven Anson

(1954-2014)

Washburn lost longtime head baseball coach Steve Anson to a tree trimming accident at his home in Topeka this past year. For 35 years, Anson was head coach for the Ichabods and had winning records throughout his career. During his long time as coach, Anson became well known and well liked in the baseball community. He was noted as one who always had a smile on his face.

“He was always volunteering and wanted to do what was best for Washburn,” said Loren Ferre, Washburn athletic director. “He was just a special person,”

Cal Melick

(1948-2014)

Cal Melick served as a Washburn librarian for 35 years. Melick was a lifelong cyclist who lost his life while riding his bicycle when hit by a pickup truck passing another vehicle. He was known as an accomplished and lifelong cycling enthusiast.

Melick was well known among Washburn students. “He was without question the face everyone expected to see when they walked through the front doors,” said Washburn dean of libraries Alan Bearman.

Kaw Valley bicycle club memorialized Melick with a ten mile bicycle ride in his honor.

Jean Kathleen Johnson

(1946-2014)

Jeanie Kathleen Johnson lost her battle with cancer in September 2014. She came to Washburn University in 1989 where she worked in the admissions office. She also served as the Campus Visit and Event Coordinator.

Jeanie came from a musical family. She was a member of the sweet Adelines chorus for nearly 40 years, with which she travelled and competed. Friends and co-workers remember her as genuinely kind and helpful.

Glenda Taylor

(1954-2015)

The Washburn community was heartbroken at the loss of Glenda Taylor, the beloved, inspiring professor and chair of the art department. Glenda was tragically killed June 7, 2015 when hit by a truck while riding her bike during warmups for a race.

In her free time, Taylor and her friends traveled to many places. Her most recent trip was to Peru with her friend Kelly Watt, an assistant professor of art history.

“She is one of the most exciting people I have ever known.,” Watt said.

Bob Kennedy

(1950-2015)

Tuesday, April 21 was a dark day as long-time computer and information sciene adjunct instructor Bob Kennedy passed away. For more than 20 years Bob taught classes on computer literacy and introductory programming for Washburn.

“He was always willing to help out when we needed him to teach a class,” said Bruce Mechtly, chair of the computer and information sciences department. “I think it’s not an exaggeration to say that Bob was one of the kindest people one will ever meet.”

In the fall, Washburn football games attract a vast crowd to Yager Stadium. Washburn has a skilled team of players who play their hearts out on the field. There were 6 home games played in Yager Stadium and 7 away games this past season. The Washburn Ichabods finished with a 4-7 record.

Many events take place during or around Washburn football games. One event was established as a fun

way for Washburn University and Emporia State University to collect cans of non-perishable foods for a food drive. This event is called “Can Emporia” for Washburn, and “Can Washburn” for Emporia.

The two schools compete to collect cans for their respective food pantries. At the “Can Emporia” game this season, the Ichabods demolished their rivals, the Hornets, with a final score of 36-10!

M Basketball Washburn men’s basketball split

their 32 game season right down the middle with 16 wins and 16 loses, going 10-9 in conference play. School spirit helped push the Bods to a 12-3 home record, while they struggled on the road, going 3-10 outside of Lee Arena. The team averaged 71.1 points per game, while giving up an average of 68.1 to opponents and grabbing about 34 rebounds per game. Team leaders Kyle Wiggins and Alex North saw their names added to the record books with both players reaching 1,000 career points.

Overall, Washburn was ranked in the top five in the MIAA in rebounds, assists, blocked shots and steals. The team finished the season in Kansas City, Missouri with a 71-61 loss to Northwest Missouri State at the MIAA Tournament quarterfinals at the Municipal Auditorium.

The Washburn women’s tennis team finished the 2015 season with an overall 4-14 record, going 3-7 in the MIAA. The team was led in singles and doubles by junior Jodie Blackim, who finished with 11-12 and 16-9 records, respectively, and Blackim and senior Casyn Buchman formed the best performing doubles team, with a record of 12-5. Buchman was the only senior on the 2015

team, meaning the Ichabods will see a lot of returning talent in 2016. Blackim, Nzingha Banks, Kirsten Halle, Gwen Shepler and Ashlyn Sutton will be returning next spring to lead the team as seniors. The team is coached

by Lance Lysaught, a former Ichabod tennis player. Lysaught was named head coach of both men’s and women’s tennis is 2014.

Softball

By Adam Vlach

Washburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball team opened the 2015 season winning nine of its first 12 games. The 19 Ichabods were led to a winning season by pitcher and sole senior Lauren Thimmesch. Finishing 14-12 in the conference and 2724 overall, Washburn finished with an overall .529 winning percentage.

Junior pitcher Marina Quimby led the team in batting average with a soaring .394. Thimmesch took first on the team with 45 RBIs and 16 home runs. With Thimmesch having graduated, the team now looks to five seniors - Quimby, outfielder Haylee Marsteller, infielder Sierra

Kemp, pitcher Taylor Kemp and infielder Taylor Zimmerman - for leadership going into the 2016 season. Those five will lead the same team, except for Thimmesch, with the addition of five new freshmen players.

The team made it to the MIAA tournament in the 2015 season, but fell in the double-elimination event to Pittsburg State University and the University of Central Oklahoma. The team now looks to return to the tournament in 2016 under the instruction of head coach Vanessa Becerra and push further than in the past year.

Baseball

By Adam Vlach

After losing the legendary head coach of 35 years Steven Anson in the summer of 2014, the Washburn baseball community was anxious to see how the team would respond in the 2015 season. Not only did the team respond well, they made history.

Under the leadership of new head coach Harley Douglas, The Ichabods started out their season for the first time in history with a 14-0 record. In March, Washburn reached the No. 6 ranking in the National Collegiate Baseball Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poll of top 25 Division II teams in the nation. Led by 14 seniors, the

Ichabods finished with an overall record of 33-20, finished fourth in the conference going 22-14, and making it to the MIAA tournament semifinals where they finally fell to the defending conference champions No. 2 seed Emporia State. The team finished with a team batting average of .306, 54 home runs, and outscored opponents 382-298 despite having 15 fewer at bats.

With 13 juniors and sophomores returning, the Ichabods are looking to bring back plenty of experience to build on for the 2016 season.

There is one team at Washburn that attends multiple sports. The Washburn cheerleaders made themselves present and visibile at dozens of basketball and football games. As one sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season closes and another opens, the cheer squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season continued from the fall into the spring, with the team pumping Ichabod spirit into the stadiums and arenas. Between athletic stunts and catchy cheers, there was never a lack of entertainment at sporting events, even during halftimes and timeouts.

While the athletes retired to the locker rooms during half time, the Washburn community can almost always count on entertainment during intermission from the Washburn Dancing Blues. The dance team performed their approximately 2 minute routine at dozens of football and basketball games. The Dancing Blues, coached

by Angie Price, began working on their routine in the summer of 2014 and worked continuously throughout the sports seasons to perfect it, giving everyone at the games something to enjoy while waiting for the competitions to resume.

Karis Selk signs on to Washburn It takes someone special to be asked to play both volleyball and basketball by a university. It takes someone very special to be asked that at the age of seven. But that is just what happened to 7-year-old Karis Selk.

A ceremony took place Thursday, Oct. 2 at Washburn in which the volleyball team and the women’s basketball team adopted Karis as an honorary member of both teams, allowing her to have her own locker, participate in game warm-ups and sit on the bench during the games.

After opening words, Karis’ mother Stephanie Selk spoke to a packed room about the beginning of Karis’ journey. “(Karis) is seven years old now, but she was five years old when she was first diagnosed with brain cancer during November 2012,” Stephanie Selk said.

“An MRI showed that she had three tumors in her brain and metastasis to her spine. On November 16 she had her first brain surgery…and started chemo.”

Stephanie Selk went on to tell how much more chemotherapy and radiation Karis had to endure. But then she delivered the good news.

“Then, October 2013, she was declared in remission, and we’re almost a year out.”

Karis is still being monitored, but the doctors are confident the cancer will not come back.

Following this speech, Karis signed two letters of intent: one for Washburn volleyball and the other for women’s basketball.

After Karis signed her name, as her parents, siblings, Washburn volleyball coach Chris Herron and women’s basketball coach Ron McHenry watched, the two coaches also signed the letters. This was followed by a loud round of applause.

This was, of course, a very emotional event, especially for Karis’ parents.

“This means a lot,” said Kyle Selk, Karis’ father, fighting back tears. “More for her. She’s been through a lot. Getting out and seeing all these kids – look how –” he said, motioning to Karis laughing with the players.

“We’ve done things with community in years past,” Herron said. “We’ve done some reading programs. We’ve done some what we call ‘lunch buddy’ programs, but this is our first time obviously being involved in something like this.”

Karis and the Washburn teams came together through a program called The Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. The foundation was formed in 2005 in honor of Jaclyn Murphy, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2004. The foundation’s goal is to improve the quality of life, in one way or another, for children with pediatric brain tumors and their families.

Karis, who is the cousin of Washburn volleyball freshman Taylor Selk, has already experienced Washburn athletics. She summed up her thoughts on Washburn in two words.

“Go Ichabods.”

A Brief Historical Timeline

By Katie Wade & Martha Imparato 1859 – 160 acres of land purchased

by John Ritchie was donated to the development of a congregational college in Topeka.

1861 – On January 29, Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state. Just three months later, on April 12, the Civil War began.

1865 – In January, trustees met in Topeka to draft the charter for Lincoln College. According to Article I, the college would “commemorate the triumph of Liberty over Slavery in our nation, and serve as a memorial of those fallen in defense of their country.” 1 The charter was approved in February along with the college’s appraisal of property and assets.

1866 – Lincoln College officially

began classes on January 3. Enrollment consisted of 38 high school students: 22 men, including one African-American man, and 16 women. The first two college students, Addison Davis and Perley Griffin, enrolled in September.

1868 – Addison Davis was the first

ever to receive a diploma from Lincoln College. He was the first and only graduate at commencement in June.

1868 – Ichabod Washburn do-

nated $25,000 to Lincoln College in October and in November the Board of Trustees voted to change the school’s name to Washburn College in his recognition. Ichabod Washburn died in Worchester, Massachusetts on December 30, just two months after his donation.

1870 – Now Washburn College, en-

rollment increased to 43 students. In April, trustees voted to abolish what was known as “The Ladies Courses” and determined that the course of study should be the same for both genders. John Ritchie’s donation of 160 acres of land was decided to be the permanent site of the institution in June.

1872 – For two years, the college

rented space from a downtown grocery store where class was held until the building on campus grounds was completed in 1873.

Ichabod Washburn

1873 – Mrs. Ann Washburn, the

late Ichabod’s wife, donated $2,000 to Washburn College this year “as an addition to the endowment fund of the college, and especially as a nucleus for the endowment of a Ladies Department [likely for women’s dormitories].” 2!

1874 – The college officially moved to its permanent site on the land donated by John Ritchie. One three-story building, not even fully completed, functioned not just as classroom space, but also as dormitory and office spaces. A bell, now known as “The Old Bell,” donated

by Charles Boswell, was placed on top of the building in 1880 to toll the passing hour and announce football victories. This building was later named Rice Hall in 1902.

1879 – Washburn College played its first baseball game in March, splitting with the University of Kansas in a doubleheader.

1890 – Female students protested in February not being allowed to attend the state oratorical contest at Kansas State Normal School (now Emporia State University). Male students allegedly joined the protest, as well, placing red flags around the campus. Washburn student Samuel Naylor won first place at the contest.

1897 – The first edition of The

Washburn Review was printed in February. The first paper publication was The Washburn Argo which started in 1885. Beginning in 1887, there were two papers, the rival being the Washburn Reporter which started in 1887. The two merged in 1892.

1897 – In October, St. Mary’s Col-

lege backed out of a football game against Washburn College claiming it was because a black player was substituted onto the field.

1900 – The first men’s basketball team was organized during the fall se-

mester. They played just four games. The team was organized again in 1906 and continued on from then. The first women’s basketball team was organized in 1901, but after faculty expressed concern, the organization of the women’s sport fell apart in 1906. The team reorganized in 1909. Women’s basketball had a difficult time being recognized at the intercollegiate level at first. It organized and disbanded several times because of faculty concern.

1903 – The observatory building

opened in September and was later named Crane. The college received an anonymous donation of $50,000 on Oct. 30, 1901. The donor was later identified as the astronomical observatory, Zenas, and the donation went toward the building of the observatory on campus. The observatory was renovated in the summer of 1942.

1903 – Washburn College protested segregation in October after the K.C. Medics said they would only play so long as no black men played.

Washburn’s manager Leach refused to participate in the football game unless Walter Caldwell, a black Washburn team member, could play in the game. The K.C. Medics forfeited. “Anyone can see that it would be to the Medics advantage to deprive us of Caldwell for he is a star and they know it, but what is more important than that he is a man and we know it.” 3

Washburn Football Team, 1903
