Seniors Carley Willis and Alex Crume are Washburn’s 2014 homecoming king and queen.
At halftime of Washburn’s home-coming game against Missouri Western, Carley Willis and Alex Crume were announced this year’s homecoming king and queen.
“I was extremely surprised and humbled,” said Willis. “The first thing I did when they announced my name was hug my mom and dad. Mom was pumped.”
Willis, a senior mass media ma-jor with emphasis in contemporary journalism, was nominated by her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha. The nom-ination was as much of a surprise as winning the crown.
“There were so many other women in the sorority they could have nominated,” said Willis. “I wasn’t able to attend the meeting
when they nominated me and I was kind of shocked when I got a text with the news later that night.”
Crume, who was also nominated by Zeta house, was just as surprised as Willis to hear he had won.
“It was really exciting and hum-bling,” said Crume. “I wasn’t really expecting to win.”
For Willis, being crowned home-coming queen is merely a feather in the cap that has been her career at Washburn thus far.
The president of Order of Ome-ga, on PanHellenic Council and ZTA, Willis has spent time vol-unteering with the Topeka Rescue Mission, Newton-Salem United Methodist Church Harvesters and Race Against Breast Cancer. She also serves as the co-anchor for KSWU News, Washburn’s stu-dent-produced online news show, which broadcasts live from the
basement of Henderson every Wednesday.
Her experience with KSWU has been the inspiration for life after Washburn as her post-graduation goal is to become a TV news an-chor. Willis is also considering continuing her education to earn a master’s degree.
A senior math education major, Crume is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and, during his time there, has served as president, vice-presi-dent of recruitment and finance and president of Interfraternity Coun-cil. He currently serves as special events director of WSGA and is an active member and vice-president of Washburn’s Rugby Club.

Fourth annual Washburn etiquette dinner Monday, Oct. 20 tickets for
Washburn’s fourth annual Honors Program Etiquette Dinner were made avaliable to students, faculty and staff members. Tickets are being sold at the Office of Student Activities and Greek Life , in the lower level of the union, for $5 for students and $20 for faculty and staff. Tickets can also be purchased at the iCard Center using Bod Bucks.
The intention of the dinner is to teach students the ins and outs
of proper dinner etiquette over a five course meal. Instruction will be provided throughout the meal provided by Janis Kliethermes of Etiquette Kansas City.
Business professional attire is encouraged as students arrive for the 6:30 p.m. networking social and continue then continue onto dinner. Attending the dinner also counts as a WU101 Passport Activity so Freshman especially are urged to take advantage of the opportunity.
The event will start at 6:30

Seats will be assigned to allow students to interact with community members who share students’ areas of interest to allow for networking and exchange of ideas during the event.
The last two Etiquette dinners sold out so those interested should purchase their tickets as soon as possible.
Mulvane’s Cabinet of Curiosities opens this weekA cabinet of curiosities has made
its way onto Washburn’s campus and is avaliable for viewing this Friday, Oct. 24 from 4-6 p.m. in Mulvane Art Museum.
The term ‘Cabinets of Curiosities’ originated from the idea of rooms, as opposed to the furniture in which it seems they were named for, in which 16th to 17th century European
aristocrats collected scientific and ethnographic artifacts and set them up for display. The idea was that the items were unrecognized or unable to be catagorized so they captured the curiosity of the person who first observed them. Objects tended to fall into the modern day catagories of natural history, geology, ethnography, archaeology, historical objects, religious relics,
works of art or antiques.The Washburn exhibition
will include old and new, as the cabinents of the past would have contained. They will exhibit everything from football helmets from 1904 to wooden candlesticks recovered from the 1966 tornado. Different versions of Ichabod are included in this exhibition as well and the art center promises that
there’s going to be something on display for everyone and every taste so anyone who has their own curiosity about interesting objects from the past should plan to attend.

Today, elected homecoming roy-alty Carly Willis and Alex Crume will rightfully rule over the Wash-burn Review headlines. But in 1973, the post-homecoming head-line that captured the attention of campus did not begin “The Winner is...”
It read “And the Loser is...”In the 1970s, national and local
newspaper headlines rang out with the news of student protests, and the Washburn campus was no ex-ception.
By 1973, Washburn had elimi-nated the position of homecoming king, which had always gone to the star football player. Therefore, when George Gallion, a Benton Hall resident and freshman Polit-ical Science major from Garden City, applied and made it onto the short list of queens candidates that year, the Washburn community stood up and paid attention.
Gallion’s candidacy was only one of the issues besetting home-coming planners that year. Just a month before the big game, the Black Students Union demanded the right to crown their own queen during halftime, setting the powers-that-be scrambling.
In a report printed October 10 in the Review of a roundtable meeting with University President John Henderson, Student Council President Bernie Richstatter, and the alumni-backed Homecoming committee chair Gerald Barker, and others, BSU chairman Alonzo Harrison claimed that the club nev-er received the information packet and registration forms to partici-pate in queen elections. But he also felt they had no chance of winning anyway; pointing out that no black student had ever been elected to the honor in the history of Washburn homecoming.
The meeting was also important because sitting in the room was Gallion, a representative from Ben-ton Hall. A self-proclaimed radical from youth, Gallion was responsi-ble for changing the hair and dress code at his high school. At Wash-burn he found a new outlet for his activism. Gallion’s plot to enter the race for homecoming queen prob-ably began when he heard in that “any organization could run a coed for queen,” as long as the candidate met all of the requirements. He knew he met all of them.
In 1973, requirements for queen candidates were less stringent than
they are today. Hopefuls only need-ed a GPA of 2.0, be currently en-rolled for at least 12 credit hours and had to be members of the or-ganization that nominated them. There was no mention of gender, nor was there a category for men. Therefore, when Gallion was nom-inated by Benton Residence Hall, the male freshman was technically a legal candidate, and the student Homecoming Committee, one of two committees overseeing the event, allowed him on the ballot.
On October 17, Gerald Barker, Vice President of Development and chair of the University Homecom-ing Committee, held an emergency meeting, closed to non-committee members. Barker claimed it was in order to keep the meeting small, but students questioned his reasoning.
The administration argued that the BSU could crown their own queen anytime they wished, but honoring that queen at homecom-ing would require committee ap-proval. By a vote of 8-7, the BSU request was denied. The decision over whether to disqualify Gallion was deferred to the Student Coun-cil, which was having a meeting that same night. A motion was raised in the later meeting to elim-inate Gallion from the running by changing the requirements for can-didacy, but president Richstatter immediately ruled the motion out of order, “since the criteria for this year’s elections had already been set.” In that decision, the student council promoted students over the wishes of alumni and the adminis-tration.
It almost worked.Gallion and the other candi-
dates participated throughout the week in events held before the big game on Saturday Oct. 27, 1973, although no one knew for sure if Gallion would be allowed on the field during halftime. Many viewed Gallion’s efforts as the harbinger of change for the good, while others, mostly in the administration, feared losing alumni support for home-coming events.
Gallion won the popular vote, 141-106, participated in the pa-rade with all the other queens and donned a flower corsage pinned on him by his escort. However, Lee Dodson, Vice-president for Student Affairs, disqualified him days pri-or to homecoming. Ann Slover, the Zeta Tau Alpha candidate, won by default.
Dodson stated that Gallion was deemed ineligible based upon the dictionary definition of a “queen,”
and in response to the voices of dissatisfied alumni and parents and planned protests announced by an-noyed Greek houses.
To many students, the decision proved that the selection of Home-coming Queen was undemocratic. One opinion article asked, “Where is the University headed if money speaks more loudly than the student government?” In Gallion’s view, a student’s job in college was to question everything. He argued that college should be a community of scholars and professors backed by the administration, not ruled over by them.
By the time Gallion graduated in 1978, the University and the activi-ties around homecoming week had slowly become what he and others had envisioned: a student-centered tradition. This year, from the Top Hat competition to the parade, from the banner competitions to the Yell Like Hell pep rally, student voices could be heard all over campus in support of all things.
The new traditions of home-coming might even make Gallion proud.

After sweeping the playoffs in eight games, the Royals are in the World Series, something that many in the area haven’t seen in their life-times.
Royals fever has affected near-ly all of Kansas City, and the surround-ing area with-in at least a h u n d r e d miles. In fact, in a non-sci-e n t i f i c E S P N poll, 68 p e r c e n t of Amer-icans are rooting for the Royals with majorities in nearly all 50 states.
But as the Royals win, so do local businesses.
Businesses all over Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, and more are preparing to reap the economic benefits of a blue October. Dave Heinz, owner of Henry T’s sports bar on 21st and Washburn in Tope-ka calls it an “awesome extra bo-nus.”
“When a team is hot, there is more interest,” said Heinz. “The best example is when KU football was really good there for a while, and they went to the orange bowl.”
Closer to Kansas City, a Pizza Hut in Olathe, Kansas saw a huge business increase as well.
“We were caught off guard the first series because the [employee] schedule was done and we weren’t busy the first two games, just the third,” said Paula Martin, assistant manager, “So the second series we
overstaffed and prepped extra be-cause we knew it would happen again, and it did.”
Martin said the last game of the ALCS, which was on a Wednesday afternoon, saw the same amount of sales they might have gotten on a busy Friday, or Saturday.
Henry T’s was also prepared for a business increase.
“We’re a sporting event destination,” said
Heinz, “There was quite a bit of in-
terest through the end of the season. We were ready, we knew it was going to be a big deal. We
didn’t know they were
going to be as successful as they
have been.”Everybody is excited
about the Royals. Tanner Evans, a junior accounting major said he generally stays home because it’s cheaper.
“Big games like these I might go out,” said Evans, pointing out that he will absolutely spend more when his team is winning.
Evan’s prediction for the World Series? Royals 4 to the Giants 2.
Heinz also think’s the royals will win in six games, and that business will be crazy.
“For almost every playoff game, we’ve been full. I expect for the World Series, it’ll be more elec-tric,” said Heinz, “Its been a real-ly good atmosphere. It’s been full house for KU basketball for years, it’s really nice to have baseball.”

On Sept. 16, NASA awarded Boeing and Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) a contract that will result in sending crew, commercially, to the International Space Station (ISS) by 2017. The contract is worth up to $4.6 billion for Boeing, and up to $2.6 billion for SpaceX.
Since July 21, 2011, when space shuttle Atlantis landed at Kennedy Space Center, American astronauts have not had domestic access to orbit. The retirement of the storied space shuttle program forced US astronauts to hitch rides on the Rus-sian Soyuz capsule in order to get to the ISS, which costs more than $70 million per person.
This commercial crew program started in 2010 when NASA began conducting a multiphase program to stimulate the development of pri-vately operated crewed vehicles to low Earth orbit. The program, run by the Commercial Crew and Cargo Program Office (C3PO) at NASA, is built off the hugely successful Commercial Cargo Program, which stimulated the development of two uncrewed cargo spacecraft, which
now deliver cargo to the multi-bil-lion dollar ISS.
After a number of selection rounds, there were three companies vying for the final contract called Commercial Crew Transporta-tion Capability, or CCtCap. Those companies were Boeing with their CST-100 capsule, SpaceX and their Dragon V2 capsule, as well as Si-erra Nevada Corporation and their Dream Chaser space plane. NASA selected Boeing and SpaceX.
SNC, which had the only space plane in the competition, lost de-spite being cheaper than Boeing by nearly $1 billion. Following NA-SA’s decision, SNC filed a legal challenge, requesting a review of the selection process.
Keith Cowing, a former NASA engineer, who runs NASA Watch, an online publication devoted to the free exchange of information on space policy and NASA operations. He said challenges like this are nor-mal in the industry.
“NASA has been caught with their pants down in terms of may-be not having the most crystal clear procurement guidelines. The Gov-ernment Accountability Office is going to take a fresh look at that, and they may find out that NASA
didn’t give one company or another full consideration,” said Cowing. “I’m thinking that’s not going to happen, given that they kept delay-ing this thing.”
If the GAO doesn’t reach a deci-sion by Thanksgiving, it would be, at earliest, January before a ruling is made. Until then, SpaceX and Boeing have been ordered to stop work on CCtCap related work.
A decade ago, SpaceX and Si-erra Nevada were merely blips on NASA’s radar. Today, one compa-ny is awarded the second prize of a contract and the other comes close enough to challenge the selection.
“It shows you that new overtly commercial space companies, as opposed to monolithic ones like Boeing and Lockheed [are] able to muster proposals this scope and then argue over procurement,” said Cowing. “It shows that the industry has spawned a new arm of itself.”
SpaceX and Boeing both expect to begin un-crewed orbital test flights of their systems by 2016 or early 2017.

On October 29, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization will host its first ever soccer tournament fundraiser in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.
The tournament will follow a bracket style pooling system, with the winning team of each half hour game moving on, and is open to all who wish to participate, regardless of whether or not they attend Wash-burn.
“We’re open if anyone from the community wants to put a team to-gether and participate,” said Bianca Martinez, vice president of HALO and a senior biology major. “De-pending on what groups we get, we’re going to try to categorize too. Like if we get some younger kids, we’ll put them together to try to make it a little more fair.”
The tournament will be held on the soccer fields at the south end of campus. Registration is $8 per an eight person team, including the goalie. Registration forms can be found at the table HALO is set-ting up in the Union from Mon-day-Wednesday from 11-1 of this week and next week or by emailing [email protected]. All com-pleted registration forms need to be emailed to [email protected].
HALO is also looking for some volunteers to serve as referees for the event. People interested in refereeing should email HALO at the email address previously men-tioned.
The money raised by the event will go towards funding future HALO events. However, another goal of the soccer tournament is to raise awareness for Hispanic Heri-tage Month.
“In the past our fundraisers have revolved around food,” said Mar-tinez. “We thought this would be something different that we could also raise funds for.”
The idea for a soccer tournament came from the excitement over the World Cup this past summer.
“What really motivated us was that the World Cup was just this summer, so we were like ‘Hey,
that’d be kind of cool if we incor-porated that into our Hispanic Her-itage Month celebrations. That’s why we’re calling it HALO WU-rld Cup,” said Martinez.
In the past, HALO has also offered a variety of fundraisers, including the popular Latin dance class.
“A lot of students, after our first one [Latin dance class], kept asking ‘When are you guys going to have it again?’ and we’re just hoping the same happens with this [tourna-ment],” said Martinez.
Hispanic Heritage Month usu-ally runs from September 15-Oc-tober 15, but HALO is extending it to a little longer this year. The goal of Hispanic Heritage Month is to recognize the accomplishments of Hispanics. HALO tries to have weekly events during the month to promote Hispanic culture.
HALO meets even Thursday at
noon in the Cottonwood Room, which is located in the upper level of the Memorial Union. For more information about the tournament email [email protected].

Mark FeuerbornWASHBURN REVIEW
Washburn University lost both a fraternity and a soror-ity this year.
Delta Chi and Washburn’s Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority Chapter, designated as Al-pha Upsilon, decided to re-linquish their charters, with careful consideration upon knowing they were not meet-ing the standards of their respective national organi-zations.
Gary Handy, Assistant Di-rector for Student Activities & Greek Life at Washburn, shared more information on the matter:
“Making this decision is not done lightly and often not without careful thought and consideration,” said Handy. “Not a single mem-ber wanted to see their chap-ter close, but ultimately all members from both groups voted unanimously to close their organizations.”
The national organizations for Greek groups hold high expectations for their chap-ters and slip-ups are not un-common.
“All national organiza-tions typically have a tiered program that help chapters that are struggling in hopes of them moving back to good standing,” said Handy. “This program may include a series of probations or suspensions depending on how they are defined. With these proba-tions often also come visits from specialists or traveling consultants that work with a chapter on area(s) that they are struggling with.”
Both Delta Chi and Kappa Alpha Theta made diligent efforts to bring their orga-nizations up to the national standard.
The two made noticeable progress, but collectively returning to good standing is not easy. At times, there is simply not enough that can be done in the time given.
“Both Delta Chi and Kap-pa Alpha Theta struggled in two key areas, but in both these areas the members of these groups worked very diligently to improve, but unfortunately did not make the progress they needed to make to stay in good stand-ing with their respective na-tional organizations. Those two key areas were academ-ics and recruitment/retention of members,” said Handy
Academics can be difficult to maintain for any Greek or-ganization. Recruiting is not an easy task as well, as all of the organizations compete to get members.
Although Washburn Uni-versity saw an increase of twenty-three percent in members overall for Greek organizations, Delta Chi and Kappa Alpha Theta could not garner enough new members to meet national organization standards. It is quite possible that the other larger fraterni-ties and sororities simply ap-pealed more to recruits.
The largest fraternity on campus, Kappa Sigma, saw an increase of 15 members, while the largest sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, saw an in-crease of 40 members.Delta Chi first found a
home at Washburn Univer-sity in 2005 and received its charter from the national or-ganization in 2008.
The Alpha Upsilon Chap-ter began as Sigma Delta Psi in 1905, and in 1914, the Grand Council of Kappa Al-pha Theta let them become the Alpha Upsilon Chapter. The sorority and its multi-tude of alumnae recently cel-ebrated the chapter’s 100th anniversary in April.
With the history behind both of the Greek organi-zations, current and former members were shocked by the decision. Brooke Bren-nan, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, shared her thoughts on the chapter’s closure:
“The closing of Kappa Al-pha Theta came as a surprise. It was so devastating to hear a
chapter at Washburn for 100 years was closing its doors,” said Brennan. “Theta meant so much to all of the active members and previous mem-bers that I have no doubt the alumni chapter will continue to be active and thrive. Once a Theta, always a Theta.”
Brennan’s connection to the sorority was understood by Handy.
“The remaining members of both Delta Chi Fraterni-ty and Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority have responded in different ways as you might expect,” said Handy. “Once you are an initiated member of a fraternity or sorority at Washburn University you cannot join another, although I do not think any of the re-maining members of these groups would want to do so.”
Handy also cleared up some confusion for recruits who were considering either of the two Greek organiza-tions:
“If there were any new members (non-initiated) at the time of the closure of either of these groups then they would have an opportu-nity to join another group.”
Although the previous members of Delta Chi and Kappa Alpha Theta cannot join another Greek organiza-tion, they will still be granted alumnae status upon gradua-tion from Washburn.
Greek houses Delta Chi and Kappa Alpha Theta recently lost their charters and are no longer active at Washburn University. The decision left members of both houses wondering about their futures on campus.
Q: I’ve been in a decent, loving relationship for a while now but I’ve started having feelings for another guy who I am friends with. I hang out with my guy friend a lot and he is so sweet to me. He told me he liked me one day but doesn’t want to ruin my relationship if I’m happy. I care about them both so much and can see myself with either one. Is it possible to love more than one person?
A: Simply put, yes. It is possible to love more than person. People have different qualities and sometimes it is hard
to pick which ones you want in a person because, unfortunaty, you can’t have it all.
I don’t know which guy you have known longer but it sounds like they both respect you, which is important in any relationship. You want a guy who will treat you with respect and love. The bad side of that is that makes it much harder for you to say you like one guy over the other. If this was a perfect love movie one of them would be a super douche, making it easier for you to decide which one you want. But life isn’t a movie and things aren’t always perfect. It may be that you never pick between
either one of them and you end up with someone entirely different later down the road. Who knows where life will take you.
All I can say is if you are happy in your relationship then why question it? There’s obviously a reason you ended up with your boyfriend before your guy friend. But on the other hand I feel like if you were truly happy in your relationship you wouldn’t be searching for feelings in someone else. Your relationship should leave you satisfied and aware of those friend/emotional boundaries.
I can’t tell you who to pick or who to love. All I can tell you is that there is no shame in loving more than one person. With so many people in our lives supporting and loving us it’s hard not to have those feelings
sometimes. All you should focus on is being happy and if your guy friend gives you that then by all means be with him. But don’t lead both of them on, it’s not fair to either one. Talk to your boyfriend and let him know how you’re feeling. He may be able to help with your decision because he’s the only other person who truly knows what goes on between you two.

Review feedbackThis past week was
Homecoming, which is such an amazing experience. Not only do we mass media students get story opportunities handed to us, it also shows us what a great campus Washburn is.
Seeing everyone from every organization come together helps make people feel like they are part of something greater than just a student body. There are so many organizations that you never even see and watching everyone come out of their organization bubble to actually be a part of Washburn as a whole is amazing.
There were many Homecoming events to attend and students having a good time at all of them. It was the perfect relaxation from midterms and a great way to keep our campus connected.
We had a blast attending
and covering all of the Homecoming events. It was refreshing to get outside of our office and interact with other organizations in a more natural setting.

Student Media is here to let WU know what is going on.
Education is an investment. In a single lifetime it creates more pay for an individual, more productivity in society and a better chance for innovation when new ideas are infused into the conversation. Students learn when and why to question the status quo of their forefathers and generations meld together to create a common culture in society. So why do we feel entitled to profit off our students through loans, before they even get a chance to get their feet wet, and why are many of our parents and professors still working toward paying off their own student debt?
In nations, such as Germany, an emphasis has been placed on education. Not only do these countries believe that one is entitled to a free, or almost free, education, but their citizens also live to reap the benefits provided to their society as a whole. In fact, according to www.aneki.com Norway expends 9.0% of its GDP on education and according to www.prosperity.
com Norway has been rated as the “most prosperous” country since 2009. Their economy has the number one ranking on the site, with the U.S. ranked 24th and their GDP per capita is higher than the U.S., $65,639 versus $49,965.
Many talk of a new bubble as education costs continue to rise even as the prospect of jobs after college continue to be a problem for graduates. There are even for-profit colleges that exploit the fears of those who didn’t have the opportunity to immediately attend a state college after high school so that they’ll pay thousands and thousands extra using student loans and sometimes they won’t even receive legitimate degrees for their efforts.
Occupy Wall Street came up with a concept that both sides of the aisle seem to agree is a reasonable way to deal with the overwhelming social issue of student debt that lingers over our heads. Their idea, the “Rolling Jubilee” is a project that uses donations to buy distressed
debts, including student loans, which cost approximately $500 for $14,000 of debt that would otherwise be sent to collection agencies. Instead of collecting on this debt they merely absolve it, sending a letter to the random debtors that pardons them from their debt.
It’s a shame that the only way we can all agree to deal with the problem is by finding a loophole and exploiting the system to help relieve some of the most vulnerable populations of debt that was supposed to help better their lives and never lived up to their expectations.
If we used taxes the way they were meant to be used, distributing funds to institutions that benefit the greater society as a whole, then many of the social issues that we complain about every day, as we wonder why others resort to desperate measures to survive, would fade and become much less of a societal issue over time.

This past weekend might have been good in terms of warm and moderately sunny weather, but unfortunately not in terms of the scores of two Washburn soccer matches, one against Missouri Southern on Friday night in which the Ichabods lost 0-1 in overtime, and the second against Southwest Baptist on Sunday at 2 p.m., which resulted in a 1-4 loss.
Although the Ichabods hosted both of the games, they couldn’t achieve a victory that perhaps could have been the jumpstart they need to gain more wins. The Washburn soccer team, however, is not considered an unskillful one. In fact, fans see effort, drive and passion from the women during every game, which serves as the main reason for some people to keep coming to support the squad. Matches are intense and thus interesting to watch.
“[The Ichabods] play well and they have good chances to win,” said Robert Allen, a fan who has been cheering for Washburn soccer throughout its development at Washburn.
The Friday night game was scoreless for more than 91 minutes when both teams kept having
unsuccessful attempts to get that precious. Together the Lions and Ichabods combined for 19 shots total. Missouri Southern, however, outshot Washburn 11-8. The single goal was scored by Kelsey Haist from the Lions squad after she received the centering pass and kicked the ball into the lower left hand corner of the net in the second minute of overtime.
“I get a lot of inspiration from the team, especially this Friday night because I saw how much they fought. Even though the score was 0-0 for the most of the game, they still tried as hard as they could,” said Sara Taylor, forward for the Ichabods who got injured after the third game of the season.
The scorebox from Sunday match did produce positive results either as the Ichabods were defeated by the Southwest Baptist Bearcats 1-4. The intensity was even greater than on Friday night as the teams combined for 40 shots this time.
Southwest attacked in 33 shots, 16 of which were on goal. The Washburn goalkeeper Tori Fuglister, however, was able to save only 12. The 33 shots were the third-most in Washburn’s opponent history. The unstoppable bearcats also received 18 fouls in the match while Washburn was only
called for eight.SBU scored an opening goal in
the 10th minute, but Washburn came back and tied with their own goal in the 34th minute made by Sophia Sabala and assisted by Sara Specht. Shortly after, in the 36th minute, Southwest Baptist took the lead again when Elin Hammar scored another goal assisted by Karla Jemison. SBU added two more goals through an aggressive play and outshot Washburn 16 to 1, winning the game.
Washburn will face Fort Hays State this Friday at 5 p.m.
The Washburn volleyball team hosted the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats Friday night, Oct. 17 at Lee Arena.
The first set began with a competitive, back and forth match up. The score was even until the Bods went on a streak sparked by senior Marissa Cox’s seven kills. Washburn pulled away at the end resulting in a 25-17 victory.
The second set was a less impressive one for the home team. The Bods had a slow start and did not have a lead the entire set. After trying to play catch up, Washburn fell short, losing the second set 23-25.
In the third set, Washburn picked up the pace and held at least a four point lead during most of the set. Led by sophomore Sarah Vicory’s six kills, the Bods won the third set in a dominating fashion by a score of 25-13.
Washburn and Northwest Missouri State were neck and neck to start the fourth set. The Bods gained a steady lead and finished strong, beating the Bearcats in the
fourth set 25-18. The then-fifth ranked Ichabods won the match 3-1, improving their record to 18-2 on the season.
On Saturday, Oct. 18, the Washburn volleyball team played Missouri Western State University in a highly competitive Homecoming match up. Missouri Western was one of only two teams to beat the Ichabods this year.
All five sets were back and forth battles between the two teams. The Ichabods won the first set 25-20 and took the second set by a score of 26-24. Going into the locker room, the Bods had a comfortable lead of 2-0. However, the next three sets were a different story.
The third set went to the Griffons 26-24. Missouri Western also won the fourth set 25-18 and forced the match to go into a fifth set. The fifth set was one for the Washburn history books because the 46 point set was the highest scoring fifth set in school history. Unfortunately, after several ties and lead changes, Missouri Western won the fifth set 24-22 and won the match 3-2. The Missouri
Western Griffons improved to 17-4 and 11-2 in the MIAA on the season. The Griffons are now tied for first place in the MIAA. Washburn has a record of 18-3 overall and 10-3 in the MIAA this season. The Ichabods dropped out of first place in the conference after the loss.
Next Friday, on Oct. 24, the Ichabods will look to get back on track as they travel to Lindenwood University to take on the Lions.

RUSH: Quarterback Zeke Palmer hands the ball off to running back Vershon Moore. Unfortunately, Missouri Western for the most part shut down the run. Both of Washburn’s touchdowns on Saturday were
It was a bad sign for the Ichabods going into halftime of the homecoming football game Saturday, Oct. 18 with five turnovers and being led in passing yards by their punter, Aaron Hummert.
Washburn received the opening kickoff from the Missouri Western State University Griffons and started at their own 18 yard line. They quickly went three-and-out and punted, bringing down the returner at the Western 34-yard line.
Missouri Western drove the field and scored the first points of the game on a run with 9:49 to play in the first quarter, putting them on top 7-0.
The Ichabods received the ball and started their second drive at their own 28, but quarterback Zeke Palmer soon threw an interception which was returned for a touchdown. With that, Missouri Western had scored two touchdowns in 44 seconds.
After Washburn punted on their next possession, the Griffons hit a 32-
yard field goal to put themselves up 17-0, with still over a third of the first quarter to play.
Washburn managed to move the chains for the first time on their ensuing drive, but were eventually forced to punt, facing a fourth and six situation on their own 40. But the punt was faked, and Hummert hit wide receiver Connor Crimmins for a 52 yard pass, which he hauled in and took down to the Griffons’ 8-yard line.
This boosted the energy of the stadium, but that energy was quickly sapped when a pitch was fumbled at the 3-yard line which Missouri Western recovered.
The first quarter ended with one more touchdown by the Griffons and a third turnover by the Ichabods, the score 24-0, Missouri Western.
The second quarter started with a missed 50-yard field goal by Missouri Western. The kick had the distance but was wide right.
The Ichabods started with decent field position at their own 33. They were able to convert on a second and 16, but soon
after one of Palmer’s passes was tipped and intercepted, the fourth Washburn turnover of the half.
Washburn would later fumble the ball on their own 23, which was picked up and returned six by Missouri Western. After the PAT, the Griffons had now scored 14 points by returning turnovers.
The first half closed with a 29-yard field goal by the Griffons, putting them up 34-0.
Missouri Western received the kickoff to open the second half and put together a long drive, but it ended with a fumble which was recovered by Washburn—their first fumble recovery of the season.
Washburn could not make anything out of this opportunity and punted. The defense held off the onslaught they had seen in the first half and only allowed the Griffons one field goal by the time the fourth quarter began. The score was 37-0.
Washburn finally got on the board at the 13:21 mark in the fourth quarter with a 25-yard pass on fourth and 9 from Palmer
to wide receiver DaJuan Beard. This prevented Washburn from facing back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1984.
The Griffons added on more field and the Bods scored a second touchdown with 35 seconds to go in the game, but it had been clear long before who would be the victor.
The final score was Missouri Western 40, Washburn 14.

There is one mistake that exists among the majority of people who run. Many of us start running sharply and finish in an abrupt manner when the training is completed.
What I mean by that is, one minute you see a person entering the gym and the very next minute the treadmill that they are running on is making a loud noise, almost as though the machine is ready to break. The person looks like they are escaping from some mafia, armed to their teeth with tommy-guns, chasing after them.
When training without a basic warm-up the body perceives this as stress and unfortunately, this makes its effectiveness minimal. If you have ever had an appointement with a professional at the SRWC, for example, which can be easily arranged through filling out the Fitness Assesment packet, you were probably explained the importance of a gentle start and soft finish when it comes down to a cardio work out. The body will
give the correct response if you gradually increase the speed by warming up for at least five minutes before challenging your body.
At this point, you have to plan cardio training in accordance to personal goals. Let’s say a person wants to train his or her heart muscle for the more efficient pump that will result in faster exchange of nutrients and wastes, carbon dioxide
and oxygen to benefit their health. Then, they have to run at increased levels to put the emphasis of their aerobic work out onto a heart muscle. What if a person wants to loose weight or focus on decreasing body fat percentage ?
In that case, the speed should allow the person to be
able to simultaneously talk on the phone without choking. The speed of exercise is important to consider, due to the fact that human skeletal muscles branch into three different muscle fibers: fast twitch glycolytic, fast twitch oxidative glycolitic and slow twitch oxydative.
The types are distinguished by the speed of their shortening, but more importantly, depend
on different sources of energy gathered to allow for contraction to occur. Although the person burns some fat at the shortening of all three muscle fibers, the slow twitch oxidative type gather energy directly from fat.
In contrast, the two other types of muscle fibers
contract through the break down of carbohydrates in the form of glycogen first, and only after the primary fuel source is gone, begin to break down fats as the back-up energy source.
In general, the main goal of each individual before coming to the gym should be to prevent a possible harm of their body. Just one move so often leads to a significant injury, especially
when you have no muscle memory, which by term is consolidation of a specific motor task into memory through repetition. Thus, reading over an anatomy textbook before coming to the gym would give a good idea of how your body is structured.
For example, you see a person with big belly, nine months preganant,jump-roping. What is the purpose ?
Everyone has already heard the fact that crunches have a secondary affect on strengthening the abdomen, the appearance of which is directly achieved through the right diet, but many
people still decide to exaust themselves with all sorts of regular crunches, twisted crunches, bicycle crunches, double crunches, verticle leg crunches, raised crunches and many more, believing that this magic exercise will help them to loose fat exactly in the abdominal area. They don’t want to listen, period, and as a result getting their fit-ball crunches in instead of getting good-looking abs. It’s known that professional body builders only occasionally work on their abdomen to avoid muscle misbalance, but the ones who actually do have “6 pack” remain on a low-carb diet.
In the end, our body is our home, an Armageddon that you invest tons of materials, time, effort and funding into. The body is the home that is much more real than concrete, brick or wooden walls that we sleep and eat behind. If the structure of the wall will get destroyed, you might still survive but if the body is destroyed, you are dead. Am I being clear?
Even though the body is a home for each of us, strangely, many people still decide to live in clogged,
smelly shacks. Even our houses sometimes don’t look as filthy, flabby, fat and flaccid as our bodies. Why do you care much about the hue of the curtains while your most important house given by God is covered with an excess lipid layer?
It is as if you hung a chandelier and rejoiced that it’s hanging, not knowing that the thread will shortly break and the structure will fall on your head.

Viewers were given a chance to walk into the mind of William Drake recently, during his senior exhibit in the Washburn Art Building, called “Response and Expression.” The gallery featured pieces done with many mediums including sculpture photography, drawing, painting and printing.
Drake also held a reception for the exhibit, including a performance showcasing his music work on acoustic guitar, and contributing ambience as visitors walked through the gallery. This writer was given the chance to play alongside him.
William’s Artist Statement gives an idea of what inspires him, both visually and musically:
“I like to make art in the moment. The work may start with an idea to shoot for, but the outcome is not at all married to that idea,” said Drake.
A large and fitting influence for Drake in music is the avant-garde movement in the South. Avant-garde music entails rejecting the traditional ideas of music, such as the arrangement of pitches or chords in a perceived order. Avant-garde music is spontaneous, loose, and free, as performers often just play what they feel in the moment. The trick to avant-garde music is the
response between performers playing together. One musician must respond to what the other plays, making for a continuous rise and fall in heaviness of the sound created. For this writer, performing avant-garde on a type of hand-drum called a djembe with William was an interesting experience.
Drake boasted a vast collection of his work in his exhibit. There were many pieces, and quite a few stuck out.
One of the more noticeable works, which William seems to expand on in various mediums, involves mousetraps.
“In print, choice of imagery is taken from dreams, or what is around me every day. There is also a lot of purely abstract expression derived from the matrix or the way it is inked. Prints are torn, folded, woven, glued together, and drawn or written on,” said Drake.
The mousetrap piece was taken from a dream where William saw a single mousetrap tied onto a stick. He then went on to recreate it many times. Following that, he used the mousetrap in mixed media sculptures, prints, and photographs. The end result
gives a very unique series of art pieces, all with a different feel to them.
Another of Drake’s works, a charcoal drawing, depicts two people sitting next to each other, but facing different directions. William’s framed pieces are his strongest pieces, as he said in his artist statement. It is an eerie drawing, with both people in the picture looking tired but thoughtful. Although the two are right next to each other, both seem to feel alone. The piece is powerful in that it gives the viewer a feeling of forlornness. This charcoal drawing does
an excellent job of capturing the essence of loneliness and bewilderment. Many of Drake’s more abstract works can be interpreted in multiple ways, as his spontaneous approach leaves the pieces open to the viewer’s own ideas.
Drake thanked Washburn’s faculty and students for his time here, as he says it was a large influence on his work in the exhibit.
“It has been wonderful finishing up college here. The work is a response to my experiencing life during this time; everyday life, academic life.. As all this is taken in and made sense of or not made sense of, the work and the exhibit itself become an expression of this. This show is in large part for you.”

Topeka Rescue Mission impacts life of community member
Mark Feuerborn WASHBURN REVIEW
To some a bed and food seems like nothing but an everyday thing. To Lori Ross, a clothing assistant at Lets Help, it is something she is thankful for everyday.
Ross is a 55-year-old employee who found herself needing help from the Topeka Rescue Mission after family struggles and losing her boyfriend who was very close to her.
“After the death of my family my boyfriend took care of me.
He was all I had and then he died of a heart attack,” said Ross. “I always had a man in my life to take care of me. So when everyone was gone I realized I had to take care of myself.”
After losing her loved ones, Ross lived by the Kansas River in a tent. Shortly after the river flooded Ross found herself with nothing.
“I always told myself I would never go to a mission because it was beneath me,” said Ross. “But when the flood happened I found myself at the Mission’s door at 5 a.m. The flood took everything and it almost even
took me. They gave me dry clothes, a warm shower and a bed.”
Soon after, Ross got involved with the Service in Training program the Mission has to offer. Through the program she got a job at the Thrift Store at the Mission and was eventually able to get an apartment.
“I kind of messed that up by getting back into alcohol and lost my job at the thrift store,” said Ross. “But I was able to get sober with the help of the Mission and I realized I needed to change my life around.”
Ross now works for Lets
Help and resides at the Rescue Mission. She wakes up early every morning, catches a bus to Lets Help and works until after noon. She then rides a bus back to the Mission or goes to the Topeka Public Library.
“Everyone at the Mission are people-oriented and Christian,” said Ross. “They are very spiritual and they want to see you succeed. If it wasn’t for them I don’t know if I would really be on this planet.”
Ross says she plans on taking computer classes to learn and apply different places for a job opportunity. Her big goal
is to eventually have her own housing.
“I never thought I would see myself here [the Mission]. I went to Washburn, was educated and had good jobs,” said Ross. “Substance abuse will take you down a path where you can forget about a career and I hope the young students and people don’t wait to realize that when they’re 55 like I did.”

How My Passion for Makeup Began:
When I began posting on my blog and became more open with my passion and
love for makeup, I got asked the following question, “So, how did you learn to put on makeup so well?”
I guess I never really thought about that “where it all began” moment, but I decided to ponder the idea. Although I can’t say that I decided I was going to enjoy makeup so much in one day, I do remember having a similar thought. (Cheesy, right?)
As silly as it may sound, I remember, during my middle school years, binge-watching the TV show “What Not to Wear” and being in awe of Carmindy, the makeup artist
that transformed women’s views of themselves. All of a sudden, these women who were in need of some makeup tips felt beautiful and many of them swore to wear makeup properly from then on.
Who doesn’t want the skill of making yourself, and others, feel beautiful with makeup? I certainly did and still do.
After listening to Carmindy’s tips and tricks, I already knew some of the tips and tricks to making yourself look good with makeup.
Then came my discovery of YouTube. You can probably
say that I have an addiction to watching beauty guru videos. But, seriously, if you’re someone who is wanting to learn a few makeup tricks or wish to really further your makeup skills, hop on YouTube and start browsing.
My addiction started last Christmas when my boyfriend bought me my first Urban Decay eyeshadow palette, the Naked 3 Palette. I wanted to learn how to create some different looks with these eye shadows and I began searching
on Pinterest, which then lead me to a YouTube video. I was hooked from then on.
Now, I hop on my laptop almost every morning, grab my cup of coffee, and enjoy watching my daily dose of beauty videos. I learn something new from them everyday, although sometimes I have to resist (or give into) the urge of buying more beauty products that are being shown in said videos.

Ewan McGregor plays graphic designer Oliver who is coping with the recent death of his father and the death of his eccentric mother a few years earlier, along with the fact that his father came out of the closet at the age of 75 and started living life to the hilt within six months of the death of Oliver’s mother.
Oliver’s father is played by Christopher Plummer who won several awards for his supporting role in “Beginners.” Among them an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award. This movie was a sleeper that at least did not go unnoticed by the
awards shows.Plummer’s character, Hal,
contracts terminal cancer but is living his life as if he has all the time in the world, going on buying sprees and rearranging his library in the middle of the night with the help of his nurse. He rewrites the death of Jesus because the Biblical version is just too violent. He has a very young boyfriend (played by Goran Visnjic) who brings him great joy even as he lies dying in the hospital
All of this joie de vivre is bewildering to Oliver who never saw anything near this kind of happiness when he was growing up. The story is told in flashbacks that are captivating enough to keep your attention. It is a retrospective by Oliver, who
is sad throughout most of the movie, even when he meets his love interest Anna, an actress,
at a costume party where he is dressed as Sigmund Freud and she jumps on his couch for
analysis. The relationship that follows is as quirky as the way they meet.
Anna is played by French actress Mélanie Laurent and she and Oliver both share commitment baggage from past relationships. Laurent plays her part with charisma and appeal. I hope we get the chance to see more of her in the future. She and McGregor have an on-screen chemistry that makes the movie all the more believable.
Oliver inherits Hal’s Jack Russell terrier Arthur, who is a member of the cast with his one-liners in subtitles. Anyone
in the movie who talks to him
seems to understand him and vice versa, so the audience is let in on the banter.
The soundtrack is appealing and catchy for the tone of each scene in the movie, uplifting with a little 1930’s swing, or a little honkytonk or jaunty appealing melody. It lends an air of lightheartedness to a movie where the main character is grieving and sad all the time.
“Beginners” (2010) is a fun movie to watch and a genuine charmer. See it on Netflix. It is a great date movie. I give it four out of four stars because it just doesn’t seem to miss a step in its captivating storytelling.
