Dancing Blues win national championshipThe Dancing Blues recently claimed the title of American Dance/Drill Team Col-

legiate National Champions for Division II on March 23.The competition took place in Denton at the University of North Texas. It was hosted

by the American Dance/Drill Team organization and featured collegiate dance teams from across the region. Dance teams from 17 states competed in this year’s competition. To earn the national honor, the Dancing Blues were judged on content/choreography, show-

manship/presentation, execution/precision and technique.“Honestly when we won I couldn’t tell you what happened,” said Maggie Isaacson,

senior exercise physiology major. “We were screaming really loud and some of us seniors were crying because we’ve been through so much and have never really won anything. It was a moment we will cherish forever.”

Though the Dancing Blues have competed in several regional competitions, this was their first time competing in a national compe-tition in the past 10 years. continued on page 2

The Dancing Blues pose with their hard earned award.

Every spring, Washburn hosts Apeiron, an event that al-lows students either individually or in groups to showcase their re-search, scholarship, and creative activities in a setting similar to a professional meeting.

Students are welcome to share their scholarly work from any field of study in the form of poster exhibits, oral presentations or exhibitions/ performances.

This year, Apeiron is sched-uled April 19 and will be host to students from a variety of stud-ies such as nursing, social work, business, mathematics, sociol-ogy, theatre and English.

“The best way to think of it is a conference on campus that students can present above and beyond scholarly work, above and beyond what we would see in a regular classroom,” said Shaun Schmidt, associate proffessor and

Apeiron chair. “We have folks from all areas across campus: graduate, undergraduate, all lev-els are welcome. It is a great way to ‘raise the scholarly atmosphere on campus.”

For her Apeiron presenta-tion, Tara Wallace, a social work graduate student is presenting a body of work about her research on self care for professionals stu-

dents. She completed a survey with 91 students about the im-portance and their knowledge of self-care.

“For example, I as a full-time student, full time employee with 15 hours of academics, 40 hours of work and at least 25 hours of internship in a week, it can get stressful,” said Wallace. “As a lot of my peers and I have

discussed and one of the things that I always go back to is ‘What am I doing to deal with that? What am i doing to exercise self care? My study proved that not many of students do.’ ”

She hopes to team up with a community organization to fur-ther educate individuals and even businesses on the importance of self care in order for people to be able to function better at work.

“I am considering publish-ing the paper and Apeiron will provide a bigger platform and au-dience for me to share my work,” said Wallace. “It will be a good experience for me and will ex-pose my work to a diverse group of individuals so that I can get some feedback and critique.”

The Blues hired Mandy Pru-ett, a former coach of the KU Rock Chalk Dancers, to choreo-graph a routine which they used to win a regional competition at Missouri State University last summer, 2012. They then spent nine months polishing the routine before taking it to nationals.

“I absolutely did not expect to win,” said Angie Price, coach. “It’s really hard to know how the

judges are going to think. I was in shock but in my opinion they were the best performance.”

The Dancing Blues were first out of eight schools competing in that division. They were also recognized as having the second highest cumulative grade point average of all the Division II teams competing at the event.

Now that the competition is over, the Dancing Blues are pre-

paring for tryouts. Since this is the biggest senior class the Blues have ever had, they are looking for new members.

Anyone interested in trying out does not have to sign up but is expected to come and learn a routine to perform that same day. The judges will be looking for technique, performance ability and execution.

“Dancing Blues is one of the best experiences I’ve had in col-lege,” said Becky Addington, a

recent business graduate. “It was a rewarding experience and I’m glad I ended my dancing career with a National Championship.”

Tryouts will be this April 21 from noon to 6 p.m. in room 125 of the Washburn Dance Center. For more information contact An-gie Price at angie.price@wash-burn.edu.

Washburn’s Big Event starts with a small idea: Helping others. But that small idea is a big deal.

This year the event takes place from 9:30-3:30 p.m., Saturday, April 13 It provides the students of Washburn University with the opportunity to say “Thank You” to the community of Topeka for their continued support throughout the years.

The Big Event started at Texas A&M University as a day of a day of community service, and has expanded to multiple colleges across the nation. Washburn S t u d e n t G o v e r n m e n t A s s o c i a t i o n m e m b e r s brought the event to Washburn after they returned from attending a conference at Texas A&M a few years back and learning about the success of the program.

“I thought that it could really work on Washburn’s Campus and I thought that it would be a cool idea,” said Shelbie Konkel, chief of staff for the Washburn Student Government Association. “Last year sites like Lowes donated supplies, and we were able to volunteer at 19 community sites, places like the zoo, Topeka West and Helping Hands Human Society.”

Washburn has traditionally had a day of community service, most formerly known as Bods in the Street.

“We stopped doing it, but then there were some students that said no, this needs to be a part of our campus community, our campus culture and they brought the Big Event to Washburn,” said Jessica Barraclough, director of

Student Activities And Greek Life.

“Last year was the first year that we hosted Washburn’s Big Event and we had just under 200 participants. This year we already have over 300 people registered for the event, and we’re going out to more sites as well.” Said Neumann.

While last year’s event utilized the United Way webpage

for registration, this year was self managed and over 160 individuals were registered within the first 24 hours.

“We’re having a tremendous turnout this year,” said Konkel.

The morning of April 13, students and volunteers will arrive on campus, meeting at Whiting Field House, sign in and be fed as part of a kick off event, then be bused to various service spots around Topeka to begin their jobs. In addition to T-shirts for each volunteer, Frito Lay and Planet Sub are donating food for the second year in a row. Student organizations receive points for attending the event toward their community service credits.

“It could be going to Helping Hands Humane Society and helping with the animals; taking a dog for a walk, going into the play area for exercise, or brushing their fur,” said Neumann.

They have gone out to different school districts and painted the school’s playground. Sometimes it’s just going to a park and picking up garbage or pulling weeds or planting flowerbeds. Anything from

putting packaged can goods together for pick

up by the needy, or cleaning up parks.

A lot of different oppor tuni t ies within Topeka.”

A n y o n e is welcome to join in, students or

o t h e r w i s e . I n t e r e s t e d parties are encouraged to

participate despite registration for this

year being closed.“We have a waiting

list since registration closed, [but] if people are still interested, sign up, we are getting more sites to work at. It’s gonna be an awesome day to just have some great fellowship with a diverse group of students,” said Chase Sachs, campus and community affairs director, and head guru in charge of this year’s The Big Event.

4 The Review April 3, 2013 washburnreview.org

Most studients think that the Admissions Office is simply that office on the first floor of Morgan. Letters from them when students are still deciding on where to go to college. They do much more than that and Kris

The position handles re-cruiting, targeting of new demo-graphics of students and part-nering with different university departmental heads to seek out potential students for their vari-ous programs.

“It focuses the direction of recruitment, where we need to focus on as far as are we going to look at increasing direct from high school students. If so, how many are we bringing in from community colleges [and] really streamlining the recruitment pro-cess,” said Klima. “We look at particular areas [such as] Kansas City, Wichita, that kind of thing depending on what the university is looking for.”

A big part of her job is in-

creasing the number of students who attend Washburn, and some-times that includes a certain de-mographic.

“Hypothetically, if an in-stitution wants to increase their students in computer information science, what can we do with the faculty to target that population to then bring more CIS majors on the campus,” said Klima. “Working with faculty and other administrators to identify where we want to grow and increase our student profile.”

This is what admissions does.“Our office looks at ways to

do that,” Klima said.Her office takes a look at a

variety of factors before pursuing a type of student for recruitment, with the end goal of improving the student and university dy-namic.

“There are so many different populations that we work with, one isn’t necessarily better than the other, they’re just different,” said Klima. “I haven’t been in this position long enough to have solid goals, just focusing on the

fall.”Klima has been with the

university for seven years, and is herself a graduate of Washburn, with a bachelor’s degree in mass media. Most recently she was the associate director of admissions before taking over the reins as director of admissions.

“It’s a great opportunity. It’s nice to have already been accli-mated to the environment and the campus and the procedures at the office, and looking at ways to improve those and carry for-ward,” said Klima. “I think our office wants to partner with a lot of the departments on campus to make sure we’re recruiting the students that are going to be suc-cessful and that is going to make Washburn make that next step. The students are what make this institution.”

She took over the new post in January.

Mulvane names new instructor

Left to right: I-CAR International Board of Directors Secretary Dustin Womble, I-CAR CEO and President John VanAlstyne, Eric Showalter, Sharlene Showalter, and I-CAR Board Member James Spears at the 2013 I-CAR South Central Region Volunteer and Instructor Conference.

Mulvane Art Museum is go-ing to welcome a new director, Connie Gibbons, on the first day of June.

Gibbons has been studying in Drury College in Springfield, MO since 1980. She got her bach-elors of science in photography in 1984. Later in the same year, she continued her education at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. She majored in photography and art history and graduated in 1987 with a Master of Fine Arts. Ac-cording to Delene Van Sickel, administrative office assistant in Mulvane Museum, Gibbons is currently working as the Execu-tive Director of the Nicolaysen Art Museum and Discovery Cen-ter in Casper, WY. She will take over the duties of director from June 1.

Other than her expertise in art research and museum col-lections, Gibbons also possesses good social skills such as staff de-velopment, community outreach, fundraising and public speaking. She has taken a variety of muse-um-related executive positions. Her work experience stems from Lubbock Fine Arts Center, TX. Gibbons served as an assistant di-rector from January of 1984 and was promoted to director in 1987. She stayed in this position until 1994, when she took the job of director of the Cultural Arts De-partment.

In the following 16 years, Gibbons has served as director of River Music, executive director at B.B. King Museum, and execu-tive director at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. Most of her duties involved direct planning of orientation documen-taries and acting as a liaison to other museums and art organiza-tions. In January 2011, Gibbons began working in Nicolaysen Art Museum, where she is still work-ing.

Gibbons’ joining adds a huge asset to Washburn’s VPAA office.

“We are excited that Connie will be joining the Mulvane Art Museum,” said Nancy Tate, asso-ciate vice president of the VPAA

office. “She brings a wealth of experience from a wide variety of venues. We look forward to her visionary leadership as we strive to bring wonderful exhi-bitions to the museum which appeal to a wide variety of audi-ences.”

Tate has served a short term as interim vice president in 2010 and assumed her current duties in fall 2004.

Randy Pembrook, vice president of academic affairs, appreciated Gibbons’ communi-cation skills as well as her rich experience in museum adminis-tration. He noted that Gibbons has been instrumental in developing partnerships and has enthusiasm for educational outreach to the community.

“Her work in curating, writ-ing grants, and leading accredita-tion efforts will be invaluable to Mulvane and to Washburn Uni-versity and we enthusiastically welcome her to Topeka,” said Pembrook.

Mulvane museum is holding the exhibitions including Small Deaths, hand-colored photo-graphs by Kate Breakey and Re-discovered, paintings and prints by William L. Haney, until June 9. On April 5, Mulvane museum will hold the Art Department Stu-dent Exhibit, an annual exhibit featuring works by Washburn University Art Department under-graduate students.

For more information, con-tact Dena Anson at 785.670.1711 or check the news release at wash-burn.edu/news/2013/03/Connie-Gibbons-director-Mulvane-Art-Musuem.html.Xuelu Pan, xuelu.pan@washburn.edu, is a freshman English major.

Eric Showalter, Auto Colli-sion program instructor at Wash-burn Institute of Technology, has received the Lon Baudoux In-structor of the Year award for his work keeping vehicles running, and teaching Tech students how to do the same.

“I feel pretty honored,” said Showalter. “It’s nice to be appre-ciated.”

Showalter, a nine year vet-eran of Washburn Tech and 1976 graduate of Kaw Area Vocational School, is an Automotive Ser-vice Excellence Master Certified Technician, and an accomplished automotive manager through the Automotive Management Institute. The Kaw Area Voca-tional School would later become Washburn Tech.

Showalter is also certified with PPG Paint, OSHA 10, and holds I-CAR Platinum certifica-tion as a steel structural and non-structural technician, estimator, and refinish technician. On top of

all that, Showalter is an accred-ited automotive manager through the Automotive Management In-stitute.

“Cars advance so much each year, if you don’t continue train-ing on them each year you’ll find yourself way behind,” said Show-alter.

The award comes from the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR). I-CAR is an international, nonprofit organization which focuses on helping the automotive industry achieve higher levels of technical training.

Showalter is also a member of the Washburn Tech Recycled Rides committee, the Car Show/Care Closet committee, volun-teers with United Way and is an advisor for SkillsUSA.

Washburn Tech’s Recycled Rides program is hosting a vehi-cle refurbishing session on April 12 through 14 on their campus. Tech instructors and students will be working on two vehicles at the same time. One car has engine problems, and the other needs

body work repaired. The first one will be given to a recipientat 9:30 a.m., May 9 at the Capitol build-ing. The second vehicle will be given out the following day, May 10, on campus, during their an-nual car show and barbecue.

“This is a great way to donate time to work and help students improve their skills,” said Show-alter. “We’re having May 9th’s event at the legislature building to showcase what we do as tech students and instructors.”

Showalter’s been a “car guy” since he can remember, so the choice to return to his alma mater was natural.

“It’s kind of fun to go back and teach at the place you gradu-ated from,” said Showalter.

The car show on and barbe-cue May 10, will be at the Wash-burn Tech campus, in the parking lot of Building K, on the northeast corner of campus.

Congress and President Obama signed the Monsanto Act last week,

“What do you think about this?”

Connor Montague, sopho-more, chemistry

“I believe we should what is in the food we are eating because it is too risky not to know.”

“Obama should have read the bill. They should definitely be monitored. Why should one person be allowed to decide what’s in our food?”

BOD ST

QUESTION: My roommate snores so loudly I want to ask her to sleep at her boyfriend’s house. We sleep in different rooms but I can hear her any-way. Also, the other night she came home trashed and made a huge mess and knocked over stuff and hasn’t cleaned it up yet. What do I do with the roommate from hell?

ANSWER: Roommates are sticky situations. When you’re in college, you can get stuck with all

kinds of people. The most obvi-ous advice I have for you is to ac-tually TELL your roommate that things aren’t exactly “as you’d envisioned.” It could be just that she doesn’t realize her behavior. A lot of times when people are first in college, they go a little crazy with the freedom. Not to mention the fact that she proba-bly doesn’t know she snores (as most people are too polite to tell you). Not subtle way: hand her a box of “BREATHE RIGHT” strips. Close your door at night. Play soft music or get a fan for “white noise.” Make a joke out

of it, but try not to hurt her feel-ings.

As for the rest of it, I nev-er advise people to be passive aggressive. If you do, that will set the tone for the rest of your friendship. If this is the only time she’s come home wasted and makes a ruckus then simply chat with her about it and be a good friend. You never know, you might come home equally as out of it one of these days and you probably don’t want her jumping down your throat.

However, if this is a regular thing, there are other things to consider. One, if you guys live in dorms and not off campus, there are options. Two, a lot of times colleges enable you to change dorms at the end of the semester (some even require it) depending upon the university.

That said, if it’s really unbearable right now, the best thing you can pos-sibly do is TELL THE TRUTH. It’s amazing how many times we

avoid straight conversation out of fear of looking bad or mak-ing the other person angry. That does absolutely no good. If the two of you are going to be stuck together for the rest of the year, getting in actual communication now might save you both a lot of grief later.

Of course she might get upset with you: she might be reacting to the fact that she’s embarrassed that she sounds like a freight train at night. She also might be mindful of your feelings and curb her behavior. Either way, at least you’d be get-ting good sleep.

April 3, 2013 The Review 7

Tricia PetersonWASHBURN REVIEW

As of last week, we are all guinea pigs for Monsanto and all of the other agribusiness corpo-rations that produce genetically engineered products.

This may come as a shock-ing proposition especially under the leadership of the most ‘so-cialist’ president this country has ever seen. Last week Congress passed a continuing resolution, a kind of stopgap piece of leg-islation to allow the government to continue functioning. Within that resolution snuggled neat-ly between section 734 and 736

was a corporately manufactured masterpiece that provided for Monsanto and its big business buddies protection from being sued if their genetically modified products prove in the future to be hazardous to human consump-tion.

When businesses make a bad bet, they go out of business. When they make a good bet they cash in big. When they hurt inno-cent people by defrauding them, that’s when the courts drag them into the back room and doles out punishment. Last week Congress and the president told the courts that Monsanto could essentially

produce its product without fear of lawsuit.

If I were to sell some un-suspecting schmuck a taco laced with a substance that may or may not be deadly, I just didn’t take the time to find out, and stet schmuck dies, I get tossed in jail, probably put on trial for man-slaughter and sued by the vic-tim’s family for wrongful death. As of last week, Monsanto can do the same thing and instead of the government stepping in to stop them from harming the consumer, Monsanto gets to con-tinue making its product with the blessing of our government.

While there is no evidence that genetically engineered foods pose a danger to humans, the truth of the matter is we don’t understand the dangers prod-ucts pose to us. We don’t know if these modified foods cause cancer, mental defects, physical defects or mental illness. This bill allows Monsanto to flood our markets with genetically mod-ified foods and nobody knows what effects these foods will have on consumers in years to come.

I am not advocating for ge-netically modified foods to be banned. The simple fact of the

matter is that, as it stands, there is not enough evidence to un-derstand the possible dangers of genetically modified foods. I do know that if a genetically mod-ified food causes me to be more likely to have some rare form of cancer or make me more likely to develop some chronic illness I am more than happy to take time to investigate the dangers of these products.

Until we understand what these genetically modified foods can do to a human body, I’m go-ing to be suspicious of any fruits and vegetables that come with a trademark.

Bill disregards public health, safetyWashburn ReviewWASHBURN REVIEW

Tricia Peterson, patricia.peter-son@washburn.edu, is a senior mass media major.

Last week President Barack Obama and Congress pissed me off.

While everyone was worry-ing about equal marriage rights he signed the

Agricultural Appropriations Bill, which has been dubbed “The Monsanto Protection Act” – and that’s exactly what it will do, protect this corporation from taking responsibility for its ac-tions.

According to many media outlets, members of Congress signed the bill without knowing what they were signing. Also, the bill wasn’t reviewed by the Agri-

cultural or Judiciary Committees at all and the part of the bill ad-dressing these chemical compa-nies was introduced anonymous-ly as the larger bill made its way through. Congress is being ac-cused of backroom dealings and I am not surprised.

This bothers me because this bill and the way it came into law was shady. The companies like Monsanto will now get away with feeding the public crops they haven’t tested and they won’t know what the side effects will be. The bill is only in effect for six months, but I am sure they will find some way to extend it or rewrite it and slip it past those who can stop it, just like they did this time.

What it provides is a way for companies to continue selling their genetically modified and genetically engineered seeds and products to farmers while they are still in court, approving the seeds for distribution. This will allow the company to dodge any legal responsibility if the seeds are found to cause cancer, health problems or any other significant health risk.

Critics of the bill, myself in-cluded, think that it’s just a way to let the companies get away with placing unapproved prod-ucts on the market. I want to know what will happen if these products cause health issues and start affecting the public health. The answer, unfortunately, is

nothing. They will get away with it and be able to legally sell the seeds and use them in the food market. This makes absolutely no sense to me, whatsoever. It’s a blatant disregard for public health and safety, I can’t believe our government let this happen.

This bill comes from a long line of bills before it, allowing Monsanto, the company that owns Round Up and Round Up Ready Seeds, to plant crops be-fore they were approved and sell the food even after the food was invalidated in court. This already sounds ridiculous to me and I am eating this food. Round Up Ready Seeds are modified to resist the Round Up pesticide farmers spray on the crops. The

fact that they are putting chemi-cals into our food to resist other chemicals they are spraying on our food makes me uneasy al-ready, and this bill doesn’t help.

There is a petition that has been signed by over 250,000 people asking Congress to veto the bill. If you are like me and want to know what you’re put-ting into your mouth is safe, I en-courage you to sign the petition. Here’s the link: http://signon.org/sign/tell-obama-to-cease-fda.fb1?source=s.fb&r_by=2105328

8 The Review April 3, 2013 April 3, 2013 The Review 9washburnreview.org washburnreview.org

Writing, cinematography, editing, sound, photography and a bit of advertising aren’t all the skills that Jeri Fowler loves to work with.

When she’s not busy with “school, school and more school,” as she’ll tell anybody, she’s working on promoting a product that’s been in the works for the last five to six years.

Writer’s StoryBoards are a deck of cards designed and developed by Fowler to help writers overcome writers block and assist with character development.

“They’re really interesting,”

said Matt Quick, junior mass media major. “I have a theater background and for me, I thought they could be used more as an improvisation tool for improvisational comedy or improvisational scenes for actors because you can pull a character and make up an entire story.”

Quick would recommend the cards for teachers in the acting department to use a warm up tool, for writers looking to develop a story or for anyone looking to generate ideas or content in general.

“They’re really fantastic cards,” said Quick. “I didn’t really understand how to use them at first but then she [Jeri] explained to me that there really are no rules for

these cards.” The Writer’s StoryBoards

weren’t originally created for a profit, or even for others. Fowler came up with the idea for the cards by accident, early on in her writing. Fowler enjoyed writing and creating stories, but also had a passion for movies. After buying a number of books on screen writing, Fowler fell in love with the writing, but often found some of her stories lacked conflict or sagged in the middle.

“I just wanted something where I could draw a card and randomly have some ideas to throw at my characters,” said Fowler. “I looked for a product that would do that. I didn’t need a new story,

I needed something that would fit into this story. I did them because I needed them.”

The StoryBoards originally started as a list that kept going and going. After evolving from that, Fowler came up with the current beta model. An anonymous professor assists Fowler by using the cards with two of his screen writing classes at a nearby university. The intro class utilized the cards more than the advanced, leading Fowler to believe that the more advanced a student is in screen writing, the less likely they may be to utilize the cards.

Fowler was originally an integrated studies student, only switching majors to mass media recently. Fowler’s new emphasis is film and video, although she enjoys just about every aspect of it.

“I was going to integrate film, advertising, web development and photography all together and it was hard to schedule all of those departments,” said Fowler.

After switching from being an integrated studies major, Fowler is happy with her switch to mass media.

“I enjoy every aspect of it. I haven’t found my niche yet and I don’t know which one of those areas I really excel in,” said Fowler. “I don’t know where my future is, but I like the fact that I’m getting my feet wet in all of those different areas. At this point, I’d be happy doing any of it or all of it.”

Right now Fowler is spending a lot of energy on her Kick Starter campaign for the Writer’s StoryBoards. The campaign launched Monday, April 1 and will last 30 days. The goal is to reach

$12,000.At several monetary

increments, ranging from $1 up to $1,000, those that pledge will receive a form of compensation. A deck of updated cards, up to several decks, T-shirts and lastly even a story written with you as the hero, by Fowler. All levels receive a heart felt thanks from Fowler.

“I’m a terrible writer,” said Fowler, jokingly.

Fowler goes on to say that she enjoys the challenge of screen writing because every word has to do its purpose and how structured the art of overall screen writing is.

Although, Fowler speaks modestly about herself and her writing, it’s hard to argue that she’s not a hard worker. In the current semester, Fowler is taking a majority of courses in her major, including digital filmmaking II, digital cinematography as well as cinematic storytelling.

As far as future plans, Fowler has a second deck of Writer’s StoryBoards in the making. As the current deck mainly focuses on internal conflicts and plot development, the second deck will mainly focus on internal conflicts and character development.

As of 10 p.m. Tuesday evening, the campaign had 17 backers and $665 pledged.

Whatever use a writer, actor or entrepreneur may have with the cards, their use is apparent in a variety of ways.

“I pull all these cards out and the story pretty much writes itself,” said Quick. Kelly Hurla, kelly.hurla@wash-burn.edu, is a senior mass media major.

10 The Review April 3, 2013

“Yo Joe!”That signature battle

cry was a familiar one at my house, as my brother and I spent literally thou-sands of hours absorbed in G.I. JOE. Reading the com-ics, watching the cartoon, and playing with the action figures. So when Stephen Summers announced the movie a few years back I was giddy with anticipa-tion… and worry.

Lets face it: childhood nostalgia is powerful mojo. Screw it up and you’re in big trouble. “G.I. JOE: The Rise Of Cobra” was… well, big dumb fun. I sat through it with a goofy grin plastered on my face as it unspooled, very re-minded of the weekday cartoon. But it wasn’t a good movie. (Just like the cartoon wasn’t good, and you’re hearing that from a guy who owns all of it on DVD, but it was fun).

So now comes “G.I.

JOE: Retaliation” with a smaller budget, a different director and several major cast changes.

And I couldn’t be hap-pier.

While the new film trades in the goofy camp that made the first film what it was for a more real-istic take, it works so much better. This isn’t high art or anything, we’re not going to be discussing Retalia-tion come Oscar time, but it was a good action flick. And it stuck much closer to the spirit of G.I. JOE. If Rise Of Cobra reminded me of the cartoon, Retali-ation very much reminds me of the hours my brother and I spent playing with the toys and action figures. We frequently went off the reservation, not rehashing cartoon or comic plots, but inventing our own outlandish story arcs that would inevitably feature a new Cobra super-weapon in their bid for world dom-ination. And then we’d

throw the Joes in the deep end and hope they could swim.

A n d that’s what d i r e c t o r Jon M. Chu has done here. Chu, known for “Step Up 2” and 3 has been a fan since his child-hood, and not only treats the source ma-terial with respect, but directs the ac-tion scenes like a choreo-graphed dance. Nowhere is it more evident than the mountain top cliff scene featuring Snake Eyes (mar-tial arts expert Ray Park—who will be in Kansas City at PLANET COMICON this weekend) and Jinx VS

a pack of Ninjas. (I think the proper terminology is a clan, but pack works for me). It’s jaw droping-ly beautiful.

On a side note, Par-amount delayed the re-lease of this film over nine months to accommodate a 3D conversion (you know,

so they can squeeze a few more bucks out of every-one who sees it that way). I went to the standard 2D presentation, and with the exception of the mountain cliff scenes, can’t imagine the 3D up conversion real-ly did all that much for it.

My advice, save a few bucks and go 2D.

The film gives a brief overview of the events of the first film, then leaves those waters behind. The Joes are sent on a mission to retrieve nuclear devices from a war torn country, then betrayed by the com-mander in chief (a dual role played by Jonathan Pryce) who is actually Co-bra henchman Zartan in disguise.

While most of the out-fit is wiped out and killed and then blamed for going rogue, a few Joes survive the massacre and vow to get to the bottom of things.

Leading the survi-vors is Roadblock, very well portrayed by Dwayne

“The Rock” J o h n s o n . For a wres-tler, he’s be-coming a competent action hero. Fans will enjoy see-ing Lady Jay and Flint (al-though the former is used as so much eye candy, and the later has no personality or story arc) but it’s when the team turns to original General Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) that things start to look up for them.

So many little things work in this film, but most of all I’m pleased that the vehicles look like the ones I used to play with, the ac-tion scenes are well done, Cobra Commander looks like Cobra Commander, and the Joes feel so much more like MY Joes, Real American Heroes.

NOTO offers spooky addition to FFAWwww.washburnreview.org

Do you enjoy a night of shopping, drinking and dining? Or are you more of a fan of the spooky, the paranormal, and the unex-plained? Either way, the North Topeka Arts Dis-trict’s First Fridays have got you covered. The North Topeka, or NOTO, First Fridays are art walks that occur on the first Friday evening of each month, and feature food, drink, music, shopping, and of course, art.

The events usually draw anywhere between 500 and 1,000 people, but NOTO’s hoping to up those

numbers even more with their newest attraction, as up until now they’ve been void of any supernatural draw. That ends this Friday, though, as NOTO is add-ing a new feature to First Fridays, courtesy of Ghost Tours of Kansas. At every First Friday from now un-til October, Ghost Tours of Kansas will be your para-normal guide for $10, with tours that last an hour, start-ing at 5:30 and 6:30.

The tours offered ar-en’t just for the supernatu-ral buffs, either, as skeptics and non-believers will ap-preciate that each tour will include a small sampling of the history of North Topeka

that relates to each of the ghost stories being told.

“I’ve had the North Topeka tour for eight years now, and as this particular area has cleaned up over the years it has a lot of great shops and a lot of great his-tory,” said Cathy Ramirez, founder of Ghost Tours of Kansas, and native North Topekan. “The tour will be a walking tour that cov-ers several blocks of North Kansas Avenue and Great Overland Station, and I’ll be sharing all the [ghost] stories and the history.”

The approximate walking distance of the tour is one mile, so comfortable shoes are encouraged. Fur-

thermore, the first set of tours will be hosted by Ramirez herself. The recurring tours over the next few months’ First Fridays will be led by tour guides in her employ at Ghost Tours of Kansas.

Additional in-formation about the NOTO Arts District and First Fridays can be found at notoarts-district.com, while more information about Ghost Tours of Kansas can be found atghosttoursofkan-sas.com.

Shaun CollinsWASHBURN REVIEW

I recently had the opportuni-ty to watch an interesting flick.

“American History X” came out in 1998 and was written by David McKenna (“Get Carter,” “S.W.A.T.”) and directed by Tony Kaye. It stars Edward Nor-ton (“Fight Club,” “The Incredi-ble Hulk”) as Derek Vinyard, a former neo-Nazi skinhead that learned the error of his ways while serving hard time. When he is released after three years in the big house, he emerges a changed man, no longer the hateful supremacist he once was. Now that Derek is out he is up-set to find out that his younger brother Danny Vinyard, played by Edward Furlong, (“Termina-tor 2: Judgment Day”) has been following in his f o o t s t e p s . Now Derek must help his broth-er avoid making the same mis-takes he did.

One interesting thing about this film is that it does not follow a strict chronological procession of events. It has numerous black and white flashbacks to both what Derek did to get sent to prison and what happened to him while he was there. A lot of these flashbacks are very unsettling, if not outright disturbing.

Throughout these flash-backs the viewer is subjected to scenes of hate crimes, rape and even murder. It’s all very pow-erful in its execution, though

at times it can feel a bit heavy-handed.

In the sections of the film that are set in “modern day” (1998) you’ll see Derek contin-uously attempt to teach Danny that racism isn’t the answer. It takes a fair amount of time to get through all the brain-washing Danny’s been subjected to, but Derek eventually gets through to him, though the film still has a tragic end.

The film tries to send the message that racism is bad, which is definitely a message worth sending. The problem is that if you trace ev-erything back chronologically,

the situation that start-ed Der-ek down the path to be-coming a racist

was the killing of his father by some black men. Which inadvertently makes the events of the mov-ie the fault of these black men. While this does somewhat jus-tify Derek’s racist outlook on life and makes him into a trag-ic character, it also blames the black community in a film trying to combat racism, which is a bit of a mixed message.

Another thing that adds to this mixed message is that throughout the movie, there are only two black characters that ar-

en’t presented as an instigator or a ghetto hooligan. One of these characters is Lamont, played by Guy Torry, a young man in prison who shares laundry duty with Derek. The other character is Dr. Sweeney, the principal of Danny’s school, played by Avery Brooks (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”).

Overall, “American Histo-ry X” is a good film that tries to send a good message, but gets lost in its own story. If you’re go-ing to see the film, then do so be-cause of the interesting and trag-ic story, not for the message it attempts to send to its audience.

Whispers about new app Brian CervantezWASHBURN REVIEW

Apps are growing rapidly by the day. One of these new apps is called “Whisper.”

It is an app where you take a picture and put a comment on that picture. Users can then reply with an image and a comment with their own pic-ture. Users can re-spond to that picture as well. This can keep going as long as you want. This app is a fun and interesting way to con-nect to people out there.

“I think it is very interesting and a creative way to interact with other people,” said Taylor Schiefelbein, freshman art major.

This app can be used by all ages and doesn’t take much to learn. When posting your first picture and caption, the app gives you a guide to make it as simple as possible.

In the app you are anony-mous and no one knows who you are, but the only problem I have seen with this was when I tried the app, some users reply with a mean spirited comment. This is the only problem I had with this app because once someone did something mean, someone else would retaliate with anoth-er mean comment. With this go-ing on, in the app it seems like it could be a new version of cyber bullying.

The app needs to have a way

to hold users accountable for their actions, so the comments do not get out of hand.

The good thing about this app is it is free to download. It’s also started spreading to differ-ent forms. One of these ways is colleges are doing one where it can be used with students from

certain colleges. One thing I have

seen when using the app, is that users often post pho-tos with comments about want-ing a relationship.

The thing that impressed me the most about the app was that there are no limitations to what you can think of for comments on pictures, and it’s great seeing what users come up with for their replies.

For improvement with the app, I think it would be great if they add updates to make it func-tion at optimal efficiency.

“I would rather use Pinterest because it is more organized and has more do it yourself crafts,” said Abby Lechner, freshman social work major.

As you can see, many have their own opinion of Whisper. Check it out and decide what you think for yourself.

APP REVIEW

There’s something in the air. Springtime brings March Madness, and that madness brings about feel-ings of support and com-petitiveness. Right now, we’re rooting for the un-derdog.

Now, I must admit that I’m not the biggest follower of March Mad-ness. I don’t slather my-self in body paint or buy specialty t-shirts, but I’m considering it this year, be-cause somebody else has made it to the Final Four. It’s an impressive feat.

I’m even considering going down to Wichita this weekend, to watch Saturday’s game with old friends. Nine-seed Wich-

ita State is pitted against one-seed Louisville, which should be interesting to watch. The Shockers are on a roll, inspiring that Kansas pride I’m feeling all over. It’s a different kind of pride, one that hasn’t been felt since 1965. It’s a nice change from the norm (read: KU).

My cousin Stan, a newspaper writer in Wichi-ta, overheard a woman and her young daughter talking in a Kansas Sampler store. The daughter pointed to a KU shirt and said “I want a KU shirt.” The mother ushered her away quickly and said “You don’t want a KU shirt. They lost.”

Ouch. At least they tried.

But the support for WSU has been tremen-

dous. Pizza Hut (a Wich-ita-based business) will give away free pizzas to all WSU students if they win the title. You can’t lose when there’s free pizza on t h e menu.

So, t h e S h o c k e r s have the support b e h i n d them, b u t what do they bring to the table?

Aggression. They’ve

been playing angry, and it’s helped. March Mad-ness is exactly that--mad-ness, for players

a n d

fans. Polite-

ness

goes by the

wayside, and aggres-

sion becomes your best friend, especially if you want to win the whole thing as much as they do. Paired with aggression,

they have a solid…Defense. They’ve

been a solid brick wall against teams like VCU, Iowa, and Creighton during regular season play. They won those games. Louisville’s defense is equally amazing, so the challenge will be trying to avoid the full-court press. The Shocker’s offense is also doing well, destroying LaSalle and Gonzaga in previous games, and build-ing themselves up for their game against Louisville.

The horrifying injury to Kevin Ware’s leg during Louisville’s last game will set them back, but also in-spire them to play harder. A team driven by injury versus a team driven by happy motivation. Should be fun to watch.

The New York Times’ statistician and blogger Nate Silver gives Louis-ville the win, with a 55 percent chance. Wichita St. comes in fourth with 4.7 percent, but that’s based on mathematical formulas, not by those undetermin-able things like fate and luck and state-wide sup-port.

So, go ahead and jump on the bandwagon. I am. Go Shockers!

Wichita State Squares off with Louisville

The Lady Blues took a step back after earning their first true win of the season against Lincoln University.

The Lady Blues trav-eled down the Kansas Turnpike to face-off with the Hornets of Emporia State University. The Blues fought hard but could only

come away with two wins, falling 7-2 to the Hornets.

Freshmen Gwen She-pler and Nzingha Banks were beaten 8-3 in No. 3 doubles to ESU’s Somer Schmidt and Tiffany Khounsombath. In an in-tense match, the dynam-ic duo of junior Sophie O’Neill and sophomore Casyn Buchman were un-able to come away with a victory in No. 2 doubles.

Kayla Fraley and Alex Crowe of ESU managed tp fend off Buchman and O’Neill, winning 9-7.

Freshmen Jodie Blackim and Kirsten Hol-le got the Blues in the win column, winning 8-5 in No. 1 doubles. Washburn was unable to keep the momentenum going into singles play.

Schmidt defeated Washburn sophomore Ra-

chael Hageman 6-0, 6-4 in No. 6 singles play. Shepler couldn’t get past Crowe in No. 5 singles, losing 6-3, 6-1. Holle was almost able to get her second win on the day, narrowly losing 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 to ESU’s Jen-nifer Gerhardt.

The Lady Blues got their second win from Buchman, who is making her return back to action after spending the last few

months with the Washburn basketball team. Buchman spanked Khounsombath in No. 3 singles, 6-1, 6-2.

Blackim was less for-tunate in No. 2 singles. The freshman from Oklahoma couldn’t carry over her success from doubles play, losing 6-2, 6-0 to Taylor Smith.

After much success the last couple of matches, O’Neill hit a rough patch.

She was defeated 6-0, 6-4 in No. 1 singles. Washburn (1-11, 1-4 MIAA) will host Midwestern State Univer-sity 2 p.m. Friday at Wash-burn’s Tennis Complex.

The Ichabod golf team will have to wait at least another week to get back on the green.

The Bods traveled to Edmond, Okla. for the Central Oklahoma Classic, only to have it canceled because of mother nature.

“It was about 38 degrees, steady rain and a 20-25 mile per hour wind,” said Nathan Hoefflin, senior golfer for Washburn.

Meteorologists predicted sloppy weather, but that didn’t stop UCO from attempting to hold their event.

“We knew it was going to be wet and cold, but it was worse than what we expected,” said Hoefflin. “We ended up playing about five holes before they called us off the course. There was just too much standing water on the course for us to play so they just canceled the whole thing.”

The Central Oklahoma Classic was suppose to be a two-day, 54-hole event but lightning and rain forced the players to leave the course for safety. Both days of play were canceled because the weather was not expected to improve this week.

With the cancellation, Washburn has only participated in one event this spring, the SoCal Intercollegiate Championships in La Jolla, Cali. The Ichabods finished in the back half of the invite, placing 11 out of 16 teams.

Washburn will not get to participate again in an event until April 15 when they travel to Missouri for the Missouri Southern Invitational, the only event before the Bods take to the golf course for the MIAA Golf Championships. Hoefflin and the rest of the Ichabods will have to get back to the practice course, something they have been doing all spring.

“It’s really frustrating, especially for us seniors because

it’s our last semester of college golf and we have hardly played,” said Hoefflin.

Hoefflin is one of three seniors on the t e a m along with Sam Schulte and Brian Walker. The rest of the team consists of redshirt freshmen and true freshmen.

The Ichabods were looking for someone to step up after Riley Piles, a first team all-MIAA selection. The experienced Hoefflin was expected to pick up some slack, but he has struggled with consistency this season, finishing anywhere from seventh place to 79. The senior from St. Cloud, Minn. has plenty of underclassmen pushing him. F r e s h m a n R o n n i e McHenry has provided a boost this

season for the Bods. McHenry has managed to place in the top 25 in every event he has participated in. The Topeka native placed 13 in the SoCal Intercollegiate

Championships, the best place of any of the Bod

golfers. His play earned him MIAA

golf athlete of the week.

Although McHenry and Hoefflin have been solid

for the Bods, Washburn has

been shuffling around to find their top five. Redshirt Tyler Wright saw a lot of action in the fall, but did not participate in the SoCal Championships. Fellow redshirt

freshman Trey Siegel has also

seen a lot of time on the green for the Ichabods. Siegel got off to a hot start, finishing in the top 10 in his first four events. In the SoCal championships Siegel finished 25, the second best position for the Bods.

It doesn’t help that Washburn has had to travel for every event this season. The Ichabods are not hosting an event this season, which takes away any home course advantage. The Bods may be familiar with the course they practice everyday on, but will not be able to compete against other teams on it. Instead the Ichabods are forced to practice just like they have done for much of this spring.

“Practicing can be fun, but we all just want to get out there and compete as much as possible,” said Hoefflin. “That’s what we live for.”

The Topeka Road-Runners could have taken the last Friday and Satur-day off versus the Wichita Falls Wildcats.

Instead, they wrapped up the NAHL regular sea-son on a positive note.

Topeka (39-14-7) played its last two games of the regular season al-ready knowing they had clinched second place in the NAHL South Division. But the RoadRunners kept on the gas, winning 2-1 Friday and 4-2 Saturday at Kay Yeager Coliseum.

In Friday’s contest, forward Peter Halash start-ed the scoring for Topeka at 9:46 when he batted the puck out of the air past goaltender Evan Cow-ley. Later in the period, at 13:17, forward Tyler An-drew scored a powerplay goal to make it 2-0.

While the shots re-mained close Friday, To-peka’s goaltender Spencer Viele held strong until

17:02 of the third period when Wichita Falls cut the

lead to 2-1. Even with a late rally attempt, Tope-

ka held on for the victory. Shots on goal for the con-

test were 25-24 in favor of Topeka.

In Saturday’s game, Wichita Falls struck first at 11:11 of the second period when forward Kyle Bau-man found the back of the net. Just over two minutes later, forward Ross Luedt-ke scored to tie the game at one. It was one of 19 shots the RoadRunners mustered in the second period.

In the final period, To-peka poured on the offense as forwards Kyle Sharkey, Sean Gaffney and Tyler Groat all scored, making it 4-1 Topeka. Wichita Falls scored a goal with 14 sec-onds left, but it was too little too late for the Wild-cats.

As the season ends, Topeka now moves onto the first round of the NAHL South Division playoffs. They will face the third seed Texas Tornado April 6 and 7 at Landon Arena. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. and 6:05 p.m. respectively.

16 The Review April 3, 2013 www.washburnreview.org

Washburn baseball and softball looking to turn things around

All About the D: Junior second baseman Katie Schro-

eder looks to throw a runner out. The speedy Schro-

eder has been a terror on the base path, successfully

stealing the next base six times for the Blues.

Coming Together: Sophomore Deidra Jones watches the

pitcher as she gears up to run to third base. Jones is leading

the Lady Blues in batting average this season, hitting .441.. She

also is top on the team with 15 runs batted in.

Laying it Down: Washburn might need-

ed to start playing some small ball. The

Bods have struggled to get their bats go-

ing. The Ichabods have been outscored

by their opponenets 210-124.

Every Pitch: Freshman Dan Gabler holds his

breath while in the middle of his delivery.

Batter Up: Katie Schroeder gets in position to take a

pitch. The left-handed hitting Schroeder has been hit

six times this season, the most by any Washburn play-

er. She is also the only player to hit a triple this season.

No Stealing: Senior Richard Swan makes

a throw down to third base. Swan has been

patient, getting walked 11 times this year.
