Last Friday, Washburn staff mem-bers and students gathered on the north Union lawn to witness the introduc-tion of the new and improved Ichabod mascot.

Following the appearance of Jerry Farley, Washburn President, and the cheers of eager staff members and alumni, the mascot danced and posed his way down the aisle in a grand at-tempt to show off his classic, yet up-dated, new look.

Washburn staff members, in par-ticular, were buzzing about the new Ichabod look, waiting in anticipation of the event.

“It was time for a new one,” said Kathy Reser, director of the Memorial Union.

As the crowd continued to look on, Farley spoke of Ichabod Wash-

burn’s commitment to education and the meaning behind the mascot.

“Isn’t it about the most unique one you’ve ever seen in the country?” said Farley. “We are not an animal of some kind. We’re not an insect of some kind. We are a real person.”

The mascot, important to the history of the school, has not been changed since the 1980s. With the pre-vious mascot’s outdated features, the change to the mascot was welcomed.

Students of all ages were drawn to the ceremony. Many of the new fresh-men seemed unsure of what the previ-ous mascot looked like.

“I had a general idea of what it looked like, but not down to the last detail,” said Alyssa Carver, freshman. “The new one looks good, though.”

The design of the Ichabod, origi-nally created by Washburn Alumnus Bradbury Thompson, was designed for the need of an updated look.

The new look includes the tradi-

tional blue suit, top hat, and more real-istic facial features giving the Ichabod mascot a humanistic feel.

“The other mascot was starting to fall apart, and it was time to change him,” said Amanda Hughes, assistant director of University Relations. “He had more puppet-like features. He had human hands and a plastic face. Now we’ve upped the quality.”

With the improved look of the Ichabod mascot, the question of the mascot’s attitude remains.

“Ichabod hasn’t changed at all,” said Hughes. “Ichabod is going to remain the same. He always will, be-cause that’s our tradition.”

Students will definitely feel more comfortable and accomodated for when they walk into a class on a warm or cold day this fall in two campus buildings.

During the summer, a large part of Morgan Hall and the Memorial Union were closed because of construction, which will improve classroom envi-ronments for students.

With the previous system, the ventilation was difficult to control, leaving classrooms too warm on fall afternoons.

The constructions purpose was to “upgrade [the] mechanical systems and ventilation system,” said Nelda Gaito, Project Manager at the Wash-burn Facilities Department

Washburn University didn’t want to close all of Morgan Hall at once in order to complete the ventilation work.So updates were spread over three summers. The lastest construction be-gan last summer; however, Morgan has been updated nearly every summer for many years.

“ L a s t summer we had done the previous round of renovation work and [the] three consecutive summers before that we had done classroom renovations, where we went in and painted, and put in new furniture,” said Gaito. “[We] kind of updated the classrooms. Then, before that we had done the ceilings and light fixtures in the corridors, so each summer we do something we know we can get done in 10 weeks.”

In 2009, the first and second floors of the north front and the east upper wing were renovated. The work this summer consisted of the east lower wing and the center wing. On the agen-da for the summer of 2011 is the venti-lation renovation of the west wing.

“With this system we are hop-ing we can take better control of the classrooms so the [students] are more comfortable while they are in there,” said Gaito.

Most ventilation systems become outdated after 15 to 20 years. Over the years, the system at Morgan has been “patched and cobbled,” together.

In contrast, a computer will be able to regulate temperature accord-ing to each room’s specific usage al-lowing the system to be more energy efficient.

“[When the computer knows a class or activity is coming] it will gear up and gear back when there is not a heavy demand,” said Gaito.

Student Orientation Counselors and CAB host 10th annual Casino Night for Welcome Week

Many new students now have a good understanding of Washburn Uni-versity and it’s only the first week of classes.

Sundaes on Sunday and the Big Screen Event of “Iron Man 2” capped off Welcome Week 2010, which pro-vided numerous opportunities for social engagement, trips around the university, and experiences that are

intended to relieve stress as classes be-gan this week.

For a student coming in who doesn’t know too many people, Wel-come Week can be a great way to open up doors.

“The SOC’s [Summer Orientation Counselors] and student leaders did a lot to help make us mingle, like at the Playfair and Rock the Rec,” said Kristen Onions, freshman. “It was just the fact that they were making sure we were introducing ourselves to each other and meeting new people and

changing our groups around.”Freshman Robert Miller said Wel-

come Week is a quick way to feel com-fortable with the university and know what Washburn is all about.

“When I first got here, it was like I already felt at home and connected with the people here,” said Miller. “I like the school a lot so far.”

For more reserved students, Wel-come Week may have seemed a bit overwhelming. While some freshmen were able to use the week to break out of their comfort zone, that could not be

said by all.“I think the biggest problem with

the freshmen is a lot of them are shy and scared and most of them from my dorm, they won’t home this weekend,” said Miller. “But I don’t think it has anything to do with the school. I just think a lot of them are scared. It’s a whole new experience, so they’ll get used to it.”

Welcome Week Fun: Lucas Mullin, Vice President of Washburn Student Government Association, joined the festivities of Washburn Welcome Week 2010. The inflatable obstacle course was just one of many activities for students to experience during their afternoon on the Union Lawn before rain drenched the city.

While Welcome Week events took place last week with social events being the focus, some students were hard at work preparing for a whole new process.

Traditionally, students just entering Washburn look for-ward to all the new faces and spend a majority of their first week getting to know new stu-dents and in some cases, room-mates, as they settle into life at school.

Across campus near the corner of 17th St. and Macvicar Ave., one building houses the exception that proves the rule.

Washburn School of Law, a school of tradition in its own right, typically skips forward past a majority of the social networking opportunities and moves straight into the reality of law school.

“[Students] have to read two books in advance of school and review a whole bunch of web material,” said Michael Schwartz, co-director for law teaching and learning.

In addition to the material, students are also put in situa-tions that give the students, “a microcosm of law school,” ac-cording to Schwartz.

“We have students go through the process of how to read law briefs as well as how

to write one,” said Schwartz. “We also have them experience what a law school exam is like so they get a taste of what’s expected before school really starts in full force.”

For students the differ-ence between their experience with under-graduate col-lege and law school is a definite con-trast.

“It’s not what I expect-ed,” said Will L a w r e n c e , first year law student “The entire week was centered around class-es.”

Among the biggest differ-ences that Lawrence noticed were some of the lessons that the faculty strives to convey during first week.

“The work load is much bigger than in undergrad school,” said Lawrence. “They say that for every one hour in undergrad school you should spend two hours studying but in law school, faculty said it would be more like a one to four hour ratio.”

Beyond the increased de-mands on students, some other activities are undertaken with an eye toward driving home professionalism and ethics as

the students embark on their law school careers.

“We divide the students into smaller groups and let them decide on a set of rules that they will abide by and will hold each other responsible for following,” said Schwartz.

“The groups then come up with an oath of pro-fessionalism that [Dean of School of Law Thomas Romig] nar-rows down to a single choice for the class. That oath is then administered

to the students by a judge or justice of [The Kansas Supreme Court].”

But at the end of the week, students feel like success is a more achievable task with all of the preparation the school provides.

“It’s a lot of time consum-ing work but I feel confident I’ll be able to get things done,” said Lawrence.

Scorch brings music, food to campus

The Union lawn was filled with the sound of students and staff, along with the rag-ing chords and vocals of “The Magnetics” as Scorch on the Porch began last Friday.

The band kicked off their set with a cover of “Shut Up and Let Me Go,” famously per-formed by the Ting-Tings. The band mixed and matched their own style into the song with a riff from “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus. They also dove into songs by: Tom Petty, Sublime, Gorillaz and others as well during their performance.

Some students could hear the festivities going on from in-side nearby buildings.

“I was in the cafeteria hav-ing lunch with friends and heard the band playing outside,” said Tricia Cares, freshman. “We

had to go outside and see what was going on.”

The newness of the event brought a bit of excitement for some students as well.

“There were a lot of people out there,” said Carlie Morris, freshman “I didn’t even know where to start.”

Along with the music, fes-

tivities included free cupcakes in honor of Ichabod Wash-burn’s 212th birthday. There were also sidewalk sales from the Washburn Bookstore, as

well as a seven-hole Frisbee golf course.

Scorch on the Porch has been a tradition for many years. With each outing come a differ-ent lunch menu and atmosphere, since many of the events have themes. Jerry Farley, President is a big fan of the Scorch on the Porch series, because he be-lieves that it is a good way for students to meet other students.

The Magnetics looked for encouragement as they rolled through their set, to which they received applause.

“Two thumbs up?” said one of the members.

The Magnetics continue their performances in the area including Manhattan and Kan-sas City

Kelsie O’ ConnellWASHBURN REVIEW

Law school brings heavy agenda for 1LsRobert BurkettWASHBURN REVIEW

Casino Night never gets old, according to some, as this Welcome Week activity re-cently celebrated its tenth year running.

Mary Bannwarth, the Campus Activities Board direc-tor of varieties and entertain-ment, said she felt the pressure when they started planning this year’s Casino Night because of the significance of the anniver-sary. Although the attendance was not a record—last year was slightly bigger—Bannwarth felt that it was just as successful.

“My favorite part was see-ing the amount of students that came because it’s not a manda-tory event,” she said, “There were a lot of people who stayed for the whole thing.”

Although various reasons drew different students, the so-cial atmosphere was a big influ-ence on attendance.

“I think it’s fun to get dressed up and meet people,” said Kara Peterson, a freshman who attended Casino Night with her roommate Alyssa Crawford. “It seems like a lot

of people are more accepting.”The girls were lured by

the prospect of new friends and winning a prize or two.

“A T.V. would be nice for our room,” said Crawford.

Junior Jane Billinger was there with fellow sorority sis-ters armed with green Greek wristbands and clothespins

decorated with sorority letters in an attempt to both recruit and have fun.

“It’s like a 50/50 sacrifice,” said Billinger, “These events are some of the best ways to meet incoming freshmen that we wouldn’t normally meet because we’re upperclassmen. I was recruited at one of these

events.”Part of

CAB’s fo-cus, said Ban-nwarth, was to show new and returning stu-dents that To-peka business-es have a lot to offer. This year, CAB members visited local businesses to ask for under-writing and donations, and were able to get Cici’s Pizza, Olive Garden, Chili’s, The Classic Bean and Juice Stop to be some of their main con-tributors.

The event was largely affected by the movement to go local by CAB’s switch from an Arkansas-based gaming company to Jacks and Aces Events, LLC, which is lo-cated in Kansas City.

“This company was some-what cheaper, and we were test-ing the waters to see who else

was out there,” said Bannwarth, “We wanted to see what more local businesses would be, closer to Topeka.”

Jacks and Aces supplied the tables for poker, blackjack and craps, as well as supplying a lighted entryway arch, Plinko game and a feathered showgirl.

“Our main focus was on little details this year, we want-ed to go with details to make it look sharp,” said Bannwarth.

Apparently this tactic worked out well, because Blake Bryant, a Washburn junior, re-turned for his third Casino Night and was anticipating “an overall better experience.”

“This year they’ve really gone out of their way to step things up,” he said. “I was re-ally excited to play Plinko be-cause I watched Bob Barker and ‘The Price Is Right’ every day from, like, age 4-10.”

Even though meetings be-gin tonight for Washburn Stu-dent Government Association, goals for the year are already in mind.

WSGA resumes its weekly Wednesday duties this evening. The allocations, spirit, campus affairs, and communication committees all meet separately after a briefing between them all. Senate meetings between all WSGA members will take place the next week, which will be the pattern of meetings for the semester.

Caley Onek, WSGA Presi-dent, knows that while it’s early in the year, each committee be-gins its planning for the year now, based off of the budget each of them has to work with. It’s hard to say what exactly

they’re planning on working on for the year, but Onek has some ideas of what they’ll focus on. She wants students to also play a role in those decisions, but knows while they have propos-als, none of them are definite. Nevertheless, committee mem-bers have hope for their ideas.

One of the ideas for the or-ganization is Bodbox, which is similar to the Redbox concept that allows for individuals to rent movies out of a machine.

“As of right now, we’re set-ting up our committees for our lecture series,” said Onek. “We know we’ll have a speaker in the fall at some point. That’s a pretty big one right off the bat. Also, we’ll be working on the Bodbox idea we have, which is something we want to see.

“The Bod Screens are

s o m e t h i n g we’re want-ing also, where we’d have dif-ferent TV’s around campus that do advertis-ing for student groups. I think Vice President [Lucas] Mullin actually spoke with Dr. [Alan]Bearman [Dean of University Libraries] and we’re going to try to work with him to see if

that may be a part-nership we could help to form.”

The candi-dates for Vice

President of Academic Affairs and the Vice President of Ad-ministration and Treasury will be on campus soon, according to Onek. She highly suggests students take advantage of the

opportunity.“Those people will be

coming on campus and we’re going to want students to meet them and ask them questions as well and be involved in that process,” said Onek. “Those are two really big positions on our campus and that’s something I hope students get involved with.”

Committee meetings also begin for other organizations soon. Some WSGA members are also active in other promi-

nent campus groups. Onek also was sure that this involvement will help WSGA know where to focus their attention for the year.

Much of the WSGA ex-ecutive staff is either new or is switching from another posi-tion.

“We have five members returning from our executive staff from last year,” said Onek. “Everyone, except our public relations director, is chang-ing position and that’s been a

big adjustment for us. It is dif-ferent responsibility. But we have some new faces this year, which I think will be great. I’m not worried though because the people that we do have I know have had experience with other leadership positions at Wash-burn.”

With seasons of change comes the inevitable, “new fac-es in new places,” at the begin-ning of the school year.

The mass media depart-ment, seeking to transform it-self into a place where students get a quality education in cut-ting edge media techniques, has added faculty this year.

Jaeyoon Park began her education about as far away from Topeka, Kan. as one can imagine. Park grew up in Seoul,

South Korea as many youth do, watching television and mov-ies.

Her natural interest grew during the 100-year anniver-sary of film, which was com-memorated in South Korea with numerous film festivals and screenings. After attending the different festivals, Park de-veloped a passion for film.

“I was watching two or three films a day and thinking this could be something I could do,” said Park.

After getting her bachelor’s degree, Park was accepted to Columbia University’s English

language program in New York City, a program renowned for its intensive study curriculum.

After Columbia, Park ap-plied to get her master’s degree at New York University but due to the financial realities of a school like NYU, Park went back home and earned her masters in South Korea.

After graduation, Park went to work in the television business in South Korea as a writer. The intense schedule of the industry however didn’t sit well with Park’s personal

goals.“In television you spend so

much time not even writing but just doing meetings and I just found there wasn’t enough time for self growth and reading like I enjoy,” said Park

Deciding that she wanted some-thing else from her professional life, Park applied

for admission to doctorate pro-grams all over the United States and was accepted at the Univer-sity of Kansas.

“When I was coming from the airport for the first time to

Lawrence, I just thought to myself, ‘what have I got my-self into’,” said Park “It was so dark compared to being home in Seoul.”

After working on her dis-sertation Park began looking for a position at a university and saw that Washburn was hiring. She applied and imme-diately stood out among the ap-plicants.

“Our department is mov-ing to have more emphasis on digital film techniques and her experience and background was perfect for what we were looking for,” said Kathy Men-

zie, chair of the mass media de-partment.

Park hopes that her experi-ences in the professional world, coupled with her extensive studies in film will allow her to find the success she has sought throughout her career.

“I look forward to meeting students and getting to know the Washburn community bet-ter,” said Park.

FRESH FACES

Washburn University stu-dents and faculty are now sat-isfied to know a much faster Internet system is powering the campus.

After hiring an outside consultant service last spring, it was determined that the Wash-burn Internet be updated to ac-commodate for increased us-age. The Kansas Research and Education Network, has now replaced the previous vendors for internet service. The band-width has now increased from 60mbps between both WUPub-lic and Tsunami combined to a speed of 1gbps for the new WUPublic connection through KanREN. KanREN also oper-ates for the Kansas Board of Regents schools, such as the University of Kansas and Kan-sas State University. The new Internet connection is now comparable to the speed pro-posed by the use of the Google Fiber Project.

Bob Stoller, Assistant Di-rector for Information Systems and Services at Washburn, com-pared the Washburn internet to any other utility the campus needs.

“It’s just like the electric lights and the plumbing,” said Stoller. “It’s a utility. People need it and they need it to work in a responsive manner. Wash-burn offers more and more on-line classes. If you’re on cam-pus, you have to go out over the Internet to access those things or if you’re off campus you need it to get in. You just don’t want something like this to be a trouble point.”

The response to the chang-es has been positive. The Wash-

burn School of Law was the first area on campus to receive access to the new operating system and noticed an immedi-ate difference.

“The law school building was the first one that moved over to the new system and immediately they were say-ing ‘oh, this is wonderful’ and were so excited about it,” said Stoller. “We’ve had very good response.”

Wes Law-rence, sopho-more, has seen a few problems with the Inter-net cutting in and out in orig-inal usage, but has been sat-isfied with its performance the last week.

“I do notice that web pages have loaded faster,” said Law-rence. “Especially in using YouTube, I certainly notice that videos load faster. I don’t have the pausing and stutter play I used to have.”

While ISS has not had a direct response from student housing, the new operating sys-tem is able to allow for students to have complete access to the Internet and all downloads at all times, which is different from the previous vendors.

Reception was updated to include areas that had almost no access prior to changes.

According to Lawrence, he struggled with access in the basement of Mabee Library and Henderson at points last year. And in updating, Garvey, Henderson, Carnegie, and Ma-bee Library have all been given

new wireless access points, which will now combine with the updated speed for a better all-around Internet capability at the university.

“Getting good signal strength has been made be-cause of more access points in the ceiling and then, once that

traffic reaches the access point, now it’s travelling over a wire so when it gets to the Internet, it’ll have a super highway traf-fic to run on instead of a Highway 75,” said Stoller.

The one-time cost for the design and construction of new wires, combined with

the equipment needed for the new updates cost the univer-sity$26,186. The new operating system will only cost the uni-versity roughly $23,000 more per year, while giving them a 1667% increase in bandwidth.

The contract that ISS signs with KanREN will be on a yearly basis and will depend on the performance of the service. Stoller does not expect any complications with service and expects the company’s contract will be renewed yearly.

With new, exciting steps come new responsibilities. Moving onto campus is no dif-ferent.

As if transitioning into a brand new environment wasn’t enough change, students now have to deal with budgeting their money. While students on campus have meal plans to help pay breakfast, lunch and dinner costs, some students will have to begin saving portions of their paychecks, pay tuition out of pocket, pay their own phone bills, and develop ways to end college debt free.

Daniel Furman, from Lee Summit, Mo., lived with one of his best friends’ parents for the last five years. Now in the LLC, Furman recently got a

job at Target for 15-20 hours per week. Furman was adamant about trying to support himself and not put any pressure on anyone else.

While he has some finan-cial aid, he’s otherwise fund-ing college completely on his own. So, his first step to saving money starts with cutting down on outside food costs. He said that’s one of his biggest ex-penses he has in a month.

“I try to eat here on cam-pus and save a lot of money do-ing that. I’d probably spend like $500 a month eating out other-wise,” said Furman.

He also is prepared to leave college with a small amount of debt but plans on keeping his finances fairly stable by saving at least some money from each paycheck.

Ryan Schademann of Kan-sas City, Kan. is also a fresh-

man living on campus for the fall semester. This is his first time living out of his home and is receiving a small amount of financial aid and assistance from his parents but is fund-ing the rest on his own. While he isn’t getting a job just yet, Schademann plans on doing so once he’s settled in to school.

Students are still getting adjusted to their college life, some of these realities have not sunk in completely with the prospect of moving out still ex-ists fresh in their minds.

“I don’t think its hit me yet,” said Schademann. “But up until now, this has just been exciting for me. I’ve been wait-ing for this for 18 years.”

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Picture a Facebook pro-file picture of a young man, muscles bulging, itty bitty body straining to look ripped without anyone being able to tell that he’s flexing.

Most guys from my high school have taken various similar photos and placed them prominently out there for the world to see and me to laugh at. Generally, when I see pho-tos such as this, I chuckle and move on, but the other day, my older brother messaged me a photo, and told me to look at the conversation that accompa-nied it.

I cannot repeat the entire conversation without sprouting chest hair, but it looked some-thing like this:

“I look so ripped, but I’m still gaining some weight,” guy 1

“Yeah, me too, man, but for me it’ll be losing weight,” guy 2

“Oh, bro., you have to just be dedicated,” guy 1

“Oh, I’m dedicated for sure, man,” guy 2

And on and on.As my head filled with near-

intelligent advice from “bro.” to the other (these men are not actually brothers) on how to get swoll and eat as much raw meat as possible, I realized that they were not actually parodying anything. This is really just how they talk. I also realized that they both referenced the P90X workout program. I immedi-ately dismissed it as a program

w h e r e you eat live cattle and lift cars for

fun, neither of which sounds like “my kind of thing.”

Eventually I saw a video of an actual P90X workout. One word: intense. What’s more, nowhere did Beach Body Tony say “meatheads only” or anything like that. Instead, I found a well-planned exercise regimen that seemed to be fit for a wide variety of people. It piqued my interest to see the diverse exercises that the sets were divided into, especially because a lot of my personal issues with exercising are be-cause the thought of devoting a half hour to an hour of my time to the same activities seems re-volting. Multitasking is a way of life, just like veganism or be-ing a plumber, and the variance of activities appealed to me.

However, the title alone, Power 90 days Xtreme, sound-ed like a disaster. Until my first day of class. Several people, normal people, mentioned that they were trying P90X, and al-though it has been kicking their behinds, they are digging it. These people are excited about working out, they “can’t stop,” and yet they all possess brains adequate for discussing things other than their times at the gym and the protein pills they are packing up on.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that all people who work out have thick skulls and drag their knuckles. It’s just comforting to know that some people have managed to find a balance between their workouts and having a real life.

However, don’t count on seeing me P90X-ing anytime in the near future. Or at all.

P90X:Not just for meatheadsBut not for everyone

The Greek symbols used in the graphic for “Sororities step up for sisterhood” are incorrect. Apologies to Alpha Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta.

The barbeque event tomorrow at Alpha Delta was incorrectly listed to start at 6 p.m. It will run from 5-7 p.m.

Giovani’s Pizzeria and Cafe is spelled with two N’s. Sorry for the confusion.

Corrections

With the beginning of the school year many changes take place throughout the country.

Leaves turn their colors, the clash of pads are heard as football teams take to the gridiron and sighs of relief as soaring temperatures drop from triple digits signal the beginning of fall.

Every two years though, another fall event takes place. One that people of intelligence and civic-mindedness seem to take less notice of with each passing.

The 2008 election not withstanding, non-presidential year elections are typically less

well engaged by the electorate. Without the perception of making a dramatic impact to the nation’s fortune that come in electing a new president, most voters choose to stay warm at home as results are tallied from those that show up.

No matter your political affiliation, the editorial staff this year challenges students of all ages, backgrounds and philosophical beliefs to embrace the chance to help determine in small part, the future of the country by participating through the right to vote.

Looking at the first two years of the Obama administration, one has to be keenly aware as to the effect that a Congress dominated

by one party has had on the legislative agenda.

For the first time in Supreme Court history, women make up a third of the makeup of the bench. Without a democratic congress it would be hard to believe that President Obama’s choices for the bench would have passed through.

One also has to take note of the healthcare law that was passed and realize that Congress in large part, not the president, was the architect of the passage of the law.

Stopping to learn a little bit about people who want to make potentially life changing and even world changing decisions in the name of the citizens of this country is the least that

one person should be expected to do. No one is being asked to make a major sacrifice here.

Mohandas Ghandi, noted spiritual and political figure of India once said, “Be the change you want to see.”

If we are to be a nation of great ideas and tolerance for all, should we not be passionate about those that represent our beliefs and desires?

The next time you see the news think about that first Tuesday in November and resolve to be the change you want to see and make a difference in that voting booth no matter what side of the political spectrum you stand on.

Electorate needs to involve itself in voting process

Onions said the orientation counselors knocking on student doors and the effort to inundate all students into activities made it a lot easier for students. She saw people who may have stayed in their rooms oth-erwise that became more social through all the events.

Onions and Miller thought the university did a good job

with the event. There was one main suggestion that Onions made though.

“The only thing I could see is to advertise more what the specific events are so we

know,” said On-ions. “I mean, with Catch the Bus, we didn’t really know what

it was until we got there. But it was explained well when we got there, just not really before that.”

Beyond the initial fun fac-tors of Welcome Week, there were also some valuable re-sources gained from the expe-rience, which Onions said was one of the best points of the week.

“This [event] helps adver-tise when the different groups meet and why you might prefer this group over another group or if you prefer hanging out with certain people or working in a different place,” said Onions. “Being introduced to the pro-

fessors when we’re walking on campus and going to the class-rooms, it lets us know that the professors are actually people. They’re not just there to teach us but to also help us connect and be a part of the university”

Just a hop and a skip away

from campus is World Cup Espresso and Cafe, located next to the Ichabod Laundra-Bar near the corner of 21st St. and Washburn Ave.

World Cup opened its doors in 1990, and is locally owned by Don and Glenda Leftwich.

Inside, one can find a warm, friendly atmosphere with comfortable nooks to relax in and unwind after a day of classes and work. Free Wi-Fi is available for use during business hours while Washburn students and faculty get a 10 percent discount for all food

and beverage purchases.World Cup offers freshly

brewed coffees, teas and smoothies, and also has decaf and organic teas available. They also order their own private blend of organic black Chai tea that comes from Boulder, Colo.

Two of their most popular frozen coffee drinks are the mocha kicker and the peanut butter snowball kicker.

Their smoothie flavors include: strawberry banana, cherry, mango, peach and green apple. Children and adults alike can enjoy making their own unique flavors and blends of smoothies.

For those students wanting to enjoy a snack with their

drink, Glenda Leftwich bakes the majority of World Cup’s baked goods from scratch. The items include breads, muffins, cheesecake, cookies and biscotti that are available every day.

Available Monday through Friday, the breakfast casserole, which contains: hash browns, sausage, cheese and egg is another menu favorite. Saturday mornings feature biscuits and gravy, and Wednesdays quiche is featured on the menu.

Shawn Rowland, a barista and crepe extraordinaire, started making crepes for breakfast and lunch in September 2009. They’re not just for dessert anymore.

“They’re customizable and made completely from scratch,” said Rowland.

Crepe prices range from $4 to $6. There are two menus offered, breakfast and a weekly lunch menu. Two of the most popular lunch crepes are the Southwest Chicken and a Mediterranean Vegetarian Crepe.

On the sweeter side, the Banana-Nutella and Banana-Bread Crepes are the top choices. On the weekends, the World Cup Western Crepe is the top seller. Crepes are available: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays 8 a.m.-noon, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays.

There are two new sandwiches on World Cup’s menu. The “Big Hot One” consists of half a loaf of garlic bread filled with ham, turkey, Colby jack and provolone

cheeses, which are then grilled. It satisfies the biggest appetite at $6.25.

The second sandwich is the “Homemade Chicken Salad”, choice of croissant or whole-wheat bread, is $4.55. They often sell out of chicken salad during lunch because of its popularity.

“We are family owned, and take a lot of pride in our service and that our customers are happy with our product,” said Rowland.

Tammy Dreasher, a loyal customer for the last five years, visits World Cup as much as possible, sometimes twice a day.

“I’ve been known to walk four miles just to get a coffee, and it’s nice to know that they know my face, and know what I want,” said Dreasher.

Kyle Moreland, manager, has had a special holiday tradition for five years where he performs along with other local-area musicians as free entertainment for the public. The annual event is called “Kyle Moreland Christmas.”

Moreland also produced a CD titled “Build Yourself a Boat,” which came out in 2006 and is $5.

Hours are 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

The second floor of the Mulvane Art Museum recently became more surreal. A new exhibit of Salvador Dali prints is currently on display for mu-seum visitors.

According to the Ency-clopedia Britannica, Dali was a Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist and designer born in 1904. His more famous works represent a unique, surrealistic style that visually explored the theories of Sigmund Freud on subconscious imagery. Melt-

ing clocks, burning giraffes and human figures with half open drawers expanding from them were among some of the more well-known subjects of Dali’s popular work.

The works featured in the Mulvane exhibit are more com-prehensible, but just as imagi-native. The feature of this exhi-bition is a series of 100 prints detailing the story of Dante’s “Divine Comedy.” Michael Hager, Exhibition Preparer for the Mulvane and adjunct pro-fessor for the art department, and Carol Emert, Curator of Exhibitions and Collections for

the Mulvane, are the master-minds behind this exhibit.

Hager explained that in 1951, the Italian government commissioned Dali to illustrate Dante Alighieri’s masterpiece for the anniversary of the late poet’s 700th birthday. When the project became public in 1954, the Italian people were so angered by the hiring of a Spaniard, that the Italian gov-ernment rescinded their com-mission. Dali finished the col-lection on his own accord and now 99 original prints and one copy show the complete story in the Mulvane Art Museum’s

upper level. Hager created the copy himself, and the Mulvane is currently in search of the missing print to complete the collection.

Each section of Dante’s epic poem is comprised of 33 cantos, except “Inferno” which has 34. While Dali’s collection has the same number of images per section, as there are cantos.

The story follows Dante Pilgrim on a three-day journey through hell, then up the moun-tain of purgatory and finally into the paradise of heaven. Da-li’s images depict each stage of the journey of Dante along with his three guides: Vigil, Beatrice and St. Bernard.

“Originally when prints were used for communication, they were made to be displayed like this at an angle on a table, not actually framed on a wall,” said Hager. “They were meant to be read like a book on a pul-pit. I am blown away by the fact these are all woodcuts. I, as a printmaker myself, find it hard to believe. There are over 3,000 blocks.”

Hager said Dali did not do the prints himself.

“He painted the originals in watercolor and then had a master printer, I think in Spain, do the prints,” said Hager. “The master printer chose to do it in woodcuts.”

The same master printer created the other prints in the exhibit as well. On one side of the gallery hangs a collection of prints illustrating pieces of the story of Don Quixote, and on the other side hangs elaborate, vibrant images of horses.

If visitors look closely at the horse, they can see that

some of the hard white lines on the images are actually places where the print has been em-bossed which created raised edges and gives the prints a shadow effect. Hager explained the process for embossment.

“They print the color and then they make a plate and add something to the top and then run it through the press with no ink and emboss it,” he said. “That’s exactly how they do greeting cards. With greeting cards they do it all at once. With this it has to dry for a week or a month.”

Hager continued, explain-ing that each print is from the same p r i n t i n g . When prints are made the printer will make a cer-tain number of each print. All of the horse prints are number 142, which means they are a com-plete set and a complete printing.

“These are one of the few complete collections in the world,” said Hager. “There are probably two more like this in the world. One of the reasons we got in touch with the mu-seums in Florida and in Spain was to tell them we had this, and they told us that we have something very rare. They can’t believe this exists.”

The Dali exhibit is definite-ly a once in a lifetime event for many people and the museum

is proud to own them. “This is a very rare, very

good thing to have and it’s ours,” said Hager. “It’s here in Topeka.”

In the small area between the two large galleries is an ex-hibit of bowties. These are not the common article of men’s clothing, but several artists’ in-terpretation on the subject.

This collection was com-posed in honor of Jerry Farley, Washburn University President. This collection is composed of paintings, photographs, pottery and glasswork.

The second upper gallery is currently featuring art-ist Joelle Ford and her col-lection titled “ R e i n v e n -tions.”

The style is a combina-tion of post-m o d e r n i s m and pop art. Ford uses or-dinary objects such as paint cans or paint can lids to cre-

ate works of art. “It is very pop,” said Hag-

er. “Pop artists normally paint-ed but they would paint these kinds of things.”

All three unique collec-tions will be on display at the museum until Sept. 26.

Dali’s World: Hager explained that the Dali prints were donated anonymously and had been in the basement, where the permanent collection is stored. The Mulvane is open Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesdays through Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 1-4 p.m..

‘Other Guys’ spoofs famous cop dramas

I will admit that the prospect of sitting through another movie starring Will Ferrell was hardly an intriguing one.

Granted, he did some great work up to and including “Anchorman,” but when he played essentially the same character for “Talladega Nights,” “Blades of Glory,” and “Semi-Pro.” I grew pretty sick of him. However, when I found out Ferrell was not playing a mildly talented yet incredibly arrogant simpleton my interest was piqued.

“The Other Guys” is the latest in a long line of films attempting to lampoon the buddy cop genre, but unlike most, it actually follows through.

While many comedy movies poking fun at the over-the-top violence of the genre wind up imitating it more than mocking it, “The Other Guys” just drinks from an open can of whoop-ass rather than trying to down it all in the last thirty minutes of the movie. Because of this, they get a lot more laughs out of the final act than they would have if they’d used it all trying to ramp up the action.

Will Ferrell plays Allen Gamble, a gullible pencil-pusher who ends up doing other detectives’ paperwork for them. Terry Hoitz, played by Mark Wahlberg, is Gamble’s short-tempered partner longing for the action and glory that his co-workers receive.

When Hoitz finally drags Gamble out of the office, Gamble still insists on pursuing

David Ershon, portrayed by Steve Coogan, on a failure to apply for proper scaffolding permits. Ershon, as it turns out, is a billionaire investment tycoon who is about to scam some poor suckers out of 75 billion dollars to pay off another company to whom he owes money.

Ferrell’s disarmingly offbeat character is not much of a stretch from that of his characters during his SNL days, but the fact that he has played the arrogant dunce so often during the past few years actually makes his performance here quite effective. Wahlberg, after having played a detective in quite a few other movies,

gives a nuanced performance to what easily could have been a flat character.

A l t h o u g h many would see it as a shortcoming, what I most admired about “The Other Guys” was that it never tried to push the emotional tension to the forefront of the storyline; a lot of comedies will intensify the emotional stakes between characters to elicit sympathy or manufacture a greater sense of importance and more often than not it kills the momentum of the plot. When Hoitz and Gamble argue, or when Gamble’s job interferes with his marriage it still plays more comical than dramatic.

I would hardly call “The Other Guys” one of the funniest movies I have seen this year, but it is the funniest cop spoof I have seen since “Hot Fuzz.”

“Turn Your Semester into an Adventure”

!

Every Saturday at Rock Creek Marina and Resort a two-man band gets the crowd going.

The Steve Kile band plays all genres of music; acoustic rock, country, rockabilly and the blues. The band also tries to entertain song requests.

Every musician has musical influences that shape their musical style. The Steve Kile band is no different

“My major musical influences are Lynyrd Skynyrd, Peter Frampton, Merle Hagget, James Taylor, Pantera and Steely Dan,” said Steve Kile.

The Steve Kile Band has been playing together for five years. Scott Goacher is the other half of the band, playing percussion and also sings.

The group has traveled and played gigs all over northeast Kansas. The band plays all different types of gigs, from playing in bars to playing at weddings.

“We have an event at Skinny’s Sports Bar and Grill on September 24,” Kile said.

Kile is a music teacher at Shawnee Heights where teaching kids is his number one priority. Goacher in contrast, is a private drum teacher. The band does write their own songs although they have not published any of them.

“I play the guitar with my hands, the foot bass with my feet and I also play the key board,” said Kile. “I have an excellent drummer and we both sing.”

The band plays in the

ballroom at the Rock Creek Marina and Resort, which is located right next door to Mulligan’s On the Lake. Mulligan’s On the Lake is open Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

“Our specialties are fried chicken and BBQ, we smoke our own BBQ right here at the lake,” said John Thelen, owner of Mulligan’s On the Lake. “We also serve all kinds of sandwiches and wraps.”

Mulligan’s as a company originated at a golf course, “I also own another restaurant, Mulligan’s, at Lake Perry Country Club,” Thelen said. “Both of the restaurants cater. We cater all types of events from parties and weddings to family reunions.”

The people who come to Rock Creek Marina and Resort get to transition between delicious food from Mulligan’s On the Lake and The Steve Kile Band’s great music.

“Our advice to people who want to start their own band would have to be practice,” Kile said. “They would need to learn to play songs from memory and to not use lyric sheets.”

There are so many exciting things to do at Rock Creek Marina and Resort. People come in off of their boats, get replenished at Mulligan’s On the Lake and get to enjoy a nice night dancing and singing along to The Steve Kile Band’s music.

Most Topekans have heard of a large piece of recreational real estate known as Gage Park. A section of that park some may not be familiar with is Hill’s Bark Park.

Collaboration between Hill’s Pet Nutrition and the Parks and Recreation Department of Topeka in 1999, turned a rundown baseball diamond in to a duo of parks for dogs. Since then dog owners of Topeka have been enjoying a safe and welcome environment in which their precious puppies can socialize.

In 2005, the Friends of Hill’s Bark Park Association was founded to serve as an advisory board to address any issues with concerning the park, to discuss and implement improvements to the park, and to organize fundraising events to help fund those improvements.

“Our big yearly fundraiser is called Bark-a-Pawlooza” said Mario Porras, vice president of the FOHBA.

Bark-a-Pawlooza, is held every spring while, the FOHBPA also holds a number of small events throughout the year. The park is still funded in part by Hill’s, who donated the money for a new pavilion to provide shade and

shelter to patrons on either side of the park. Construction on the pavilion was recently completed so rain and intense heat aren’t the imposition they used to be to owners at the park.

The park is divided into a small breed side and a large breed side. A list of which breeds are typically allowed in each section can be found on the information boards located in each side of the park.

Local dog owner Amanda Smith and her Asha, Great Dane-Boxer mix frequent the large breed side of the bark park. Smith has seen dramatic improvements in Asha’s demeanor.

“It has calmed her down so much. She’s not tearing stuff up at home,” Said Smith.

It is important for every dog to have a time and place to release that pent up puppy energy. For Smith and Asha that place is Hill’s Bark Park.

“I try to bring her every day,” said Smith

However, allowing ones dog to get some well-deserved exercise is not the only reason to visit the park. The experienced dog owner is a well of information.

Having a problem with chewing or digging? Ask fellow dog owners at the park and someone will have a remedy for you. Even many veterinary technicians bring their own dogs to play at the park.

“A lot of information is exchanged.” Added Smith,

“Everybody’s very social.” Current Washburn student

Rebecca Radziejeski and Max, her Labrador-Boxer mix also visit the park often. Radziejeski like the fact that “everyone is involved with the dogs.”

Regardless of whether you are a dog owner of not, every Topekan can take pride in the park and what it provides for the Topeka community.

“There’s a lot of pet owners out there and it just shows that Topeka really

cares,” said Porras. Hill’s Bark Park is more

than a local attraction. Dog owners who do not have a fenced yard or live in an apartment consider the park a godsend. All dogs are welcome at the park. There are no breed restrictions and the rules to the park are simple and posted both on the FOHBA website and on the fences in front of the park.

The next time you visit Gage Park, check out the bark-park, near the Tenth St. and Gage Blvd. entrance. If you like what you see and support the cause, drop a quarter in the donations box that sits between the two sides of the park.

“If everyone dropped in a quarter every time they came, it would be a big help.” Porras said.

GAGEPARK

What do you believe in? This year’s iRead is called “This I Believe”.

This book is full of others’ beliefs written in essay form.It may challenge your beliefs and opens your eyes to other people’s opinions. Some may make you angry, sad, happy or even change your belief on a certain subject.

In “Remembering All the Boys,” Elvia Bautista is a caregiver for the mentally handicapped and disabled. She believes that everyone deserves

flowers on their grave.She lost her brother due to

gang violence. However, she puts flowers on the grave of the person that killed her brother. She does this because she believes that cold, bare g r a v e s t o n e s look lonely, like people have forgotten them.

“In giving I connect with others,”said Isabel Allende, a novelist.

After losing her daughter who was in a coma for a year, Allende looked back on her daughter’s life. She “led a life of service.” Isabel felt like she needed to give back like her

daughter did. With all the love she had

for her daughter, she decided to give that love to others by

volunteering and giving money to charities.

While I thought that all the essays would

be opinions from the “average Joe” perspective, most are actually written by well known people. One example is Albert Einstein. Others are someone who specialized in writing. Also included are professors and authors. Some were Nobel Prize winners.

It was kind of disappointing. I think hearing from people you

have never heard of would be more moving than hearing from renowned people or writers.

Some stories moved me, made me upset or challenged what I believe. However, about halfway through the book, it seems as though every personal story and belief is the same. The book becomes monotonous.

It all sounds the same. The book is worth reading because it gives you a different perspective of beliefs. But “This I Believe” gets very boring and almost makes you want to stop reading the book altogether.

movies. To prove themselves worthy of reviewing “Scott Pilgrim”, they went through and reviewed notoriously bad movies for seven days of different genres based on the suggestions of their fans. They basically review bad movies, as their motto states, “so you don’t have to.”

Topekans Lister and Reynolds planned quite an awesome after party following the movie. Along with a live podcast, complete with

“nerdcore” pop quizzes over the hidden “nerdlore” throughout the film(hint: ALL of Scott ‘s T-shirts mean something), there were raffle prizes and an

improvised rap. Other than

Stir Fry’s recent event, they can be found on their

website, www.stirfrycinema.com or by following them on their facebook page.

Their weekly podcasts cover unfavorites, such as “Snakes on a Plane” and “Black Dynamite.” There is also a

blog about random thoughts that cross their mind while reviewing the movie.

Planning for their next event is a very exciting time for Stir Fry. They feel it was their largest yet.

After the movie half of the audience stood up when asked if they were with Stir Fry Cinema. The after party also was a big hit, with over 30 guests.

“This is great,” said Lister. “Our count is up. Usually our events are attended by four.”

The next chance to catch Stir Fry live will be at the

Breakroom on September 9th.They will be showing “Bubba Hotep” around 8:30 p.m., free of charge. As a matter of fact, Stir Fry draws zero profit from the events.

“The only profit we get is from the raffles,”said Lister. “But really it isn’t profit because we turn it around and spend it on more raffle prizes.”

OPINION PIECE

Transitioning from high school to college is a big dif-ference. Its apparent not only in academics, but also in athlet-ics. The freshmen on the Lady Blues soccer team are no dif-ferent.

During this time, students deal with leaving their comfort zone to experience new things. This can include leaving their family, friends, and home to better themselves in college where students can participate in sports and other extracur-ricular activities.

Freshman student-athletes are considered new meat. This can mean hazing or playing pranks on the new players. At most schools, be-ing a freshman means its time to prove yourself. One major differ-ence at Washburn is the upper classman on the soccer team are welcoming.

“It would be intimidating if the upperclassmen weren’t so supportive,” said Caysie Beet-ley, a freshman from Califor-nia.

Beetley said that she didn’t think being far away from her friends and family would be hard because she has new friends on the soccer team and her extended family isn’t far away. But being injured as hin-dered her a little in the LLC.

“The dorms are very nice but I am on the third floor and on crutches, while the rest of the team is on the first floor. This makes it a little difficult to hangout with the team,” said Beetley.

Another major part of mak-ing the transition is the extreme increase in competition.

“There is more competi-tion, but that makes it more ex-citing,” said Taylor Mayhew, a

freshman, from Overland Park. “It is definitely harder because the team and coaches expect more of athletes than in high school.”

With more competition come harder and longer practic-es. The Lady Blues soccer team held training practices two to three times each day to prepare the women for the beginning of their season. Their first practice started at 6 am and consisted of running the entire campus. Lat-er the team would go to a one hour weight lifting session and then a practice to end the day.

The upperclassmen strive to welcome new teammates and integrate them to the team, not just as individuals playing to-gether. The team made tie dye shirts to wear on game days as a team bonding activity. Group

activities are all attempts to con-nect the women as a whole and build commu-

nication, which will help the team in the long run make new friendships and also help them play better together as a group.

Life is full of transitions and they may be difficult but very rewarding in the end. The Lady Blues soccer team’s up-perclassmen have made the freshman feel very welcome by using simple gestures to invite them to activities; this has built friendships that may last a life-time and help the team’s suc-cesses on the field.

The Lady Blues play their first game is Sept. 3 in Austin, Tex. against St. Edwards Uni-versity. Their first home game is Sept. 9 in Yager Stadium at 6 p.m.

Ask any successful ath-lete and they will claim injury prevention and care are keys to staying healthy. That is why the Washburn University training staff is considered a vital tool to performing at the highest level.

The training staff is led by three primary doctors; John Burns, Steve Ice and Michael Rodriguez who are assisted by 31 student-trainers.

Stepping into the training room, athletes can be seen at work either rehabbing an injury or preparing for their upcoming practice or game. The sounds of tape being wrapped around the ankles or wrists of athletes can be heard, while the sound of the bikes, bands and ellipti-cal equipment being used to get muscles warmed up and stretched out before practice are a common theme. Colene Ad-

ams, sophomore student-trainer, believes student-athletes should take advantage of the facility before going on the field

“The envi-ronment is real nice compared to other teams in the confer-ence,” Adams said. “Athletes should use the room to help prevent injury and to make sure they can perform at the highest level.”

Burns also feels athletes must be smart on and off the field to stay successful.

“Athletes need to realize what they do in their daily lives affects their injury,” Burns said. “From what they drink, eat or do in their daily lives.”

One of the features about the training room is the Hydro-

Works machine that is located by the pool at Petro Allied Health Center. The Hydro-Works includes an underwater treadmill and three different water hoses that are crucial for rehabbing deep bone bruises, muscle strains and tears. The

machine can be used at any water temperature hot or cold and is only one of two m a c h i n e s along with C a m e r o n Unive r s i t y in the NCAA Division II level.

S e n i o r f o o t b a l l

player Michael Wilhoite uses the HydroWorks regularly and feels it’s a great addition WU athletics for its athletes to get back on the field.

“The HydroWorks have been very beneficial for my stress fracture I had on my foot,” Wilhoite said. “I basi-cally lived in it and in the pool

to rehab in the summer and now that time is paying off and got me back on the field.”

The staff also makes cus-tom mouth pieces for their ath-letes. These mouth pieces are specifically molded for their mouth and help prevent concus-sions. The trainers and student trainers also oversee practices to help assist in stretching and be on the site for in case pos-sible injuries occur.

Overall, Washburn has one of the best training staffs in the nation and what they do is sometimes overlooked. Fresh-man basketball player Jeff Reid puts it best on how a student-athlete should use the training room.

“Athletes should use the training room as needed, but not abuse it,” Reid said. “If you use the staff correctly it will greatly payoff for you on the court or field.”

Lettering four years in any collegiate sport is an accom-plishment, but for senior Lady Blue Jordan Shefte, it is just one of many accomplishments she has completed.

Shefte, a senior defend-er on the soccer team from Omaha, Neb., has started all 64 matches since her freshman year, which ranks seventh in Washburn history. Her attitude and hard work has made her a team leader and a captain for the team. The younger Lady Blues have looked up to her and realize why Shefte has been successful.

“You can always have fun with her because of her care-free attitude,” said freshman Lady Blue Danielle Curtis. “But when Jordan’s on the field she’s all business.”

Head Lady Blues soccer

coach Tim Collins contributes Shefte’s success to her smart and aggressive defensive play.

“Jordan has so much knowledge of the game,” Col-lins said. “It’s almost surreal that it’s going to be her final year playing for us, she is definitely a winner.”

S h e f t e , just recently became en-gaged to former WU student-ath-lete Steve Kinderknecht. The two met at WU in a mass media class, which is also Shefte’s major. Kinderknecht played baseball for the Icha-bods last year and graduated with a degree in physical thera-py program. He is currently en-rolled at Mizzou receiving his

masters in health promotions and education, while being a student physical therapist for the MU football team. He feels their time away will help them

grow stronger and help their future mar-riage in the long run.

“I’ve been her wakeup call at 6 a.m. for soccer camp because I had to be at the training room at 5:15 at MU for football,” Kinderknecht

said. “We have a schedule where we talk in the morning and lunch time and then Skype at night so we are still talking often which definitely helps.”

Shefte agrees and believes she found a good man for her to spend the rest of her life with.

“We complement each oth-er so well,” Shefte said. “The distance was scary at first, but it will all work out for the best in the end for both of us.”

For the upcoming season Shefte’s team goals include winning the MIAA title and to compete for a national title run. The Lady Blues were preseason picked fourth by the coaches, but Shefte believes this team could make more noise in the conference and national pic-ture.

“As long as we show up with a great attitude and go to work every day, we should have a good shot at achieving our team goals,” Shefte said.

Hannah CockerillWASHBURN REVIEW

Hannah Cockerill is a freshman social work major. Reach her at hannah.cockerill@washburn.edu.

Conference expansion has been a popular topic this sum-mer for the NCAA. While the Pac 16 never came to fruition, the trend toward expansion is still alive in Divison II.

The MIAA, officially ex-panding to 12 teams this year in every sport but football with the addition of Lincoln Col-lege, is looking to add a few more teams. The MIAA’s CEO Council decided in June to ac-tively pursue a 16-team confer-ence. In July, four more schools expressed interest in joining the conference—Central Oklahoma and Northeastern (Okla.) State from the 16-member Lone Star Conference, Nebraska-Kearney from the Rocky Mountain Ath-letic Conference and Linden-wood, Mo., an NAIA school from the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

On July 29, Central Oklahoma and Northeastern ac-cepted invitations extended by the MIAA to join the league. Nebraska-Kearney got the go-ahead from its regents to offi-cially seek membership in the MIAA, and will join if accept-ed. No official word has been given on Lindenwood, yet, al-though the Sioux City Journal reports that Lindenwood will join the MIAA in 2012.

“Everything that I hear is that it should be a go, so we’ll have those Oklahoma schools,” said Craig Schurig, Washburn head football coach. “I think it’s a good thing. It adds to the con-ference, obviously, with some new schools adding excitement to it. You just never know what can happen to a conference. You saw that with the Big 12.”

Schurig expected the changes to happen within a two-year timeframe if things go through as planned.

“You see some schools like the Big 12 where they were able to do it in one year, and Nebraska already leaving in ‘11,” said Schurig. “I believe we would ‘12, but there’s no telling if someone were to jump ship. Right now, 2012 is my best guess.”

Lincoln College will join the MIAA in football in 2011, cutting Washburn’s non-confer-ence schedule to one game, al-though Schurig said they have yet to schedule a non-confer-ence game for next fall. With a

bye week in the seventh week of the season, Schurig said it would be tough to fill the non-conference slot. Ultimately, he said Washburn may only play 10 games next season.

“[Lincoln will] be in our schedule next year, and that’s why we won’t be able to do the Colorado Mines game any-more, because Lincoln comes in and it rotates our schedule,” said Schurig. “Our first game next year will be a conference game.”

If the other two schools were to join the MIAA, the membership count would jump to 16 schools by 2013 (South-west Baptist doesn’t resume MIAA football affiliation un-til 2013), which would almost certainly require the conference

to separate into divisions. Even with 14 teams, divisions are still a possibil-ity.

“ T h a t ’ d be kind of neat, an East-West [format] with crossover games, that’d be pretty cool,” said Schurig.

“Hopefully we’d make it where you don’t really have any non-conference games to play, may-be Kearney comes in.”

With the possibility of the MIAA essentially becoming a super conference, it is unclear how the NCAA would react as far as regional alignment in the NCAA playoffs. At the end of last season, three Lone Star Conference teams made the playoffs in the Super Regional Four, while only one MIAA team (Central Missouri, 11-0, MIAA champion) made the playoffs in the same region. Abilene Christian, the No. 6 seed in the Super Regional Four and final team to qualify for the playoffs, had an 8-3 re-cord. MIAA schools Washburn, Missouri Western and Central Missouri had the same record but were not chosen by the committee. With the MIAA’s sudden growth spurt, the con-ference may be put into a dif-ferent region for playoffs.

“I’m not sure how that will work, there’ll probably be some sort of realignment,” said Schu-rig. “It definitely seems like our region is pretty loaded, but it’ll be interesting to see what hap-pens with realignment. Confer-ences change so fast.”

There will be high expec-tations for this upcoming year’s Washburn Lady Blues volley-ball team after being picked second in the MIAA preseason coaches’ poll and ranked No. 6 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association preseason coaches’ poll.Junior right side hitter Breanna Lewis, who should play a big role in the teams success, is thrilled by the news. “It is very exciting to know people think we’re that good, but we need to be able to back it up,” said Lewis. “Anytime you’re ranked really high, people are going to come out and fight harder and we need to come out and play our best game all the time. It’s going to be a tough time holding that spot but I think we can do it.”During the 2009 season the team went 33-5 and are pre-paring for the 2010 season the same way they always do. “Winning is an expectation,” said Chris Herron, head volley-ball coach. “Our kids come to school here as recruits because they expect to win. It’s about the mind-set of the player and if the mind-set of the player is not driven, then they do not play here. They come in ready

to win.”The 2010 Lady Blues team is returning with most of the start-ers from last season except one and there are three freshman. With the loss of Kate Hamp-son, who finished her career as Washburn’s all time leader in assists and ranks second all time in the MIAA in career as-sists, the Lady Blues are pre-paring the new players to take her place.“We do not worry about what we do not have but what we do have. It is not something we worry about, I would love to have Kate on the team every year, but I can’t,” said Herron.

The Lady Blues volleyball team has gone to the NCAA Tourna-ment six years in a row and is looking for a seventh trip but according to Herron, it is not something they are even think-ing about right now. “It is a team goal but we do not even think about it right now. We only worry about what is tonight and then the next night, and then the NCAA tournament will take care of itself,” said Herron.With the 2010 Lady Blues vol-leyball team being ranked No. 6 in the preseason poll, it’s a question of whether or not it will bring stress on the team.

According to Herron there is no pressure on the team this year.

“We have been ranked so much, we have not even brought it up. We do not talk about it at practice, it is just a rank. It does not matter, it’s where we are at the end of the year that matters.”

Weight room provides advantage

For over a semester, ath-letic teams at Washburn have had a new and improved weight room.

There are many advan-tages to having one of the best training facilities in the MIAA and possibly in all of Division II. Athletes thrive and improve their athletic ability in the weight room constantly.

With extra space, there is now the possibility of multiple teams being in it at one time.

“The new weight room is bigger so we can fit a lot more people and equipment in it,” said Joe Hastings, a se-nior football player. “The new

Sam SaylerWASHBURN REVIEW

equipment is state of the art and we get the full potential out of everything. I think we are very lucky to have the equipment and it gives us an edge over the other teams since their equip-ment is older.”

Whiting Fieldhouse, used as a practice and training gym, is above the weight room, and is percieved to be a great addi-tion for all of the athletes who use it. New air conditioning make training more comfort-able for the athletes. It is also is connected to the sports infor-mation department, as well as trophy cases for all of the ath-letic teams to be displayed.

“I like that it is an excel-lent recruiting tool,” says Tim Collins, head coach of the Lady Blues soccer team. “We can

show potential recruits all the extra space and equipment. I like that we can have multiple teams in their at once. No team ever says, ‘We need to use this now.’

The luxury of the new weight room comes with its own set of rules, but they appear to be agreeable to the players.

The reason for the rules is to keep the weight room a clean environment for everyone, as well as making sure it is safe for everyone.

“The rules are pretty obvi-ous ones and everybody pretty much goes by them,” says Hast-ings. “For example, there is no bad language. Also, a graduate assistant or coach has to be in there with the student-athletes at all times.”

The new weight room seems to be an improvement in every way from the ath-letes’ previous accommoda-tions. Along with the athletes, the coaching staff also seems ecstatic with the new arrange-ment.

“I like that there is a great atmosphere in there. Every-body gets along in there. They just need to do what they need to do and put everything back where they found, sometimes better than they found it,” said Collins.
