Every year, students enroll in a capstone course in the English department compile Inscape Magazine; a literary journal featuring poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction and visual art from the region and beyond.

Washburn University undergraduate s t u d e n t s founded Inscape Magazine in 1972. It began as a literary publication for students and the surrounding T o p e k a c o m m u n i t y but has now merged with the academic curriculum for English majors with a creative writing emphasis, at Washburn.

The editorial process of the magazine takes place in EN384: Publishing Lab, the capstone course for English majors with a creative-writing emphasis.

“It is completely run by

students, who make all the decisions about everything from submission process, to content, to design,” said faculty advisor and writer-in-residence, Tom Averill. “It offers students a complete taste of what it’s like to have a literary magazine.”

The annual submissions period is Aug. 1 to late October. The deadline for the 2013 Inscape Magazine is

W e d n e s d a y , Oct. 24. The 2013 issue will be published in the spring semester with a release party in April of 2014. There is no entry fee and individuals may submit one fiction piece, one nonfiction

piece and up to five poems. According to senior

English major, Elise Barnett, the review process is blind. Meaning that the names of the authors do not appear on the work that is submitted until it has been accepted for the magazine. All submissions to Inscape are considered for

the Inscape Magazine Award, given to one fiction, one nonfiction, one poetry and one art contributor from each issue.

Averill says that in the past several years, Inscape has gone from a journal of Washburn students and the Topeka community writing to an international journal of very high quality. Submissions can be made at the Inscape Magazine website, inscapemagazine.org.

“Inscape is a small magazine with a lot of heart,” said Barnett. “This year’s staff is really dedicated to creating something unique and inspiring, something that branches away from what people think of as ‘typical Midwest.’”

A group of five Washburn University nursing students are interested in making Washburn a smoke-free campus. For a class project the students decided to conduct the campus-wide survey to see how students, faculty and staff would react to a smoke-free campus.

Josh Schell, Erin Thomas, Erin Morris, Kate Wise and Don-ald Sortonis are the students be-hind the Washburn Smoke-Free Campus Interest Survey. The main concern regarding smoking on campus is evident; it is about having healthy students and fac-ulty at Washburn.

“[One] benefit [of making Washburn smoke-free] would be not having to walk through someone’s smoke when on cam-pus,” said Wise. “Usually this is unavoidable and over time, secondhand smoke can cause serious health problems in peo-ple who don’t smoke. Also, this could potentially get some stu-dents and staff to cut back or quit smoking.”

The Washburn Student Health Services on campus of-fers students pamphlets and bro-chures with valuable information on how to quit smoking, and the many health hazards associated with smoking. Any student may also talk with the nurse practi-tioner to discuss their options when they are trying to quit smoking. The nursing students conducting the interest survey

hope that their project raises awareness and makes way for any future programs to help stu-dents and staff quit smoking.

“Another goal of ours is to raise awareness of the effects of secondhand smoke by posting information on campus with ap-proval,” said Schell.

In December of 2009 the city of Topeka passed the Clean Indoor Air Ordinance No. 19315. According to the city of Topeka, the primary purposes of the ordi-nance are to improve and protect the public’s health by eliminat-ing smoking in public places and protect the right of non-smokers to breathe smoke-free air.

“I don’t have anything against smoking, it’s a personal choice and I respect that,” said senior marketing major, Shea Kirsop. “The only thing that af-fects me is when I walk through the smoke, though rarely does it even bother me.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tions, nearly 50,000 Americans die each year from lung cancer and heart disease attributed to secondhand smoke exposure.

“Although smoking and sec-ondhand smoke have been prov-en to have negative effects on the overall health of society I feel it’s our choice if we want to smoke or not,” said Chris Hill, freshman kinesiology major. “It’s one of our rights as an American, to be free. We also pay to attend school here, it should be our choice.”

In July of 2010 Kansas is-sued a state-wide ban on smok-

ing that Washburn’s campus clearly falls under. Kansas was the 35th state in the nation to restrict smoking in public areas. The state-wide ban states that it is illegal to smoke in indoor places, including restaurants, job sites and bars. The part that principal-ly pertains to Washburn is that it is illegal to smoke within 10 feet of a doorway or open window of

an establishment where smoking is prohibited.

“I personally have tried to get the campus, specifically WU-Police, to enforce the pol-icy of smokers to be at least 10 feet away from building entranc-es…with no avail. They said they were enforcing that poli-cy already. But I didn’t see any changes,” said junior biology

major, Anthony Davis. “If Wash-burn’s campus was smoke free, I believe that people would be happier and healthier.”

The group is planning to meet with WSGA to find out what future steps they need to take to make Washburn a smoke-free campus. The survey started Sept. 26 and will end Oct. 10. The group plans on sharing the

results of the survey after it clos-es. Students can find a link to the survey on MyWashburn under personal announcements.

Nursing students create smoke-free campus survey

Each year, Emporia State University offers a class re-garding playwriting and screen-writing, in which students have the chance to meet a playwright or a screenwriter at a scheduled reading and talk.

“We try to bring in a play-wright or a screenwriter to help enlarge our students’ view of the art and trade of writing for stage and screen,” said Kevin Rabas, Associate Professor and Co-Director of ESU’s Creative Writing program.

This year, ESU will be hosting Penny Weiner, pub-lished playwright and Wash-burn professor.

“Weiner will read from her plays as well as talk about issues and elements in her craft,” said Rabas. “She’ll talk about what it takes to write plays, from their initial genesis through workshop and script-in-hand readings to their even-tual full production.”

Weiner recently directed a script-in-hand reading of a collaborative adaptation of the work of another Kansas native, Gary Jackson. The reading of “Missing You, Metropolis” was an innovative and extraor-dinarily unique one, and there’s a possibility Weiner might cite her recent experience at ESU next Friday.

“I’ll be in classrooms, doing workshops, discussing structure, character and theatri-cality,” said Weiner.

In her own classes at Wash-burn, Weiner is known for ap-proaching the art of playwriting with passion and enthusiasm.

This event will not only be a platform for education and exploration, it will also serve as a showcase for some new work.

“I’m requesting to use the work of two former students and might work with a piece I’m developing,” said Weiner.

Because the event is free and open to the public, Rabas hopes the entire community – academic and otherwise – will be able to take advantage of such a great opportunity.

“We expect that students, faculty, staff and community members will come and enjoy Weiner’s presentation,” said Rabas. “Attendees will come away from her reading and talk inspired and filled with essen-tial playwriting knowledge. That is my intuition, expecta-tion and hope.”

For a night of education and entertainment, head to ESU’s campus for the reading that will take place from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., Oct. 12 in Plumb Hall.

Washburn organization Zeta Tau Alpha is hosting their annual Think Pink week Saturday, Sept. 29 through Thursday, Oct. 4. The week is based on collecting donations in unique ways for breast can-cer education and awareness, their national philanthropy.

“All over the country, ZTA chapters work hard to raise funds for breast can-cer education and awareness because it’s something we can advocate with genuine passion,” said Shelby Rob-ke, Think Pink chair. “Many women in our chapter here at Washburn have a personal connection to someone who has battled breast cancer, so we care about raising funds to help those who continue to fight.”

Think Pink week start-ed off with the ladies of ZTA tabling at the football game last Saturday. The following Monday, Oct. 1, ZTA hosted a skating party at Sk8away at 815 SW Fairlawn Road.

The Big Man on Cam-pus Contest was held Tues-day, Oct. 2. This is an annual event in which eight fraternity men compete for the title of “Big Man on Campus.” The men had several performance events judged by a selected judging panel.

The last event of Think Pink week will take place Thursday, Oct. 4 at On the Border Mexican Grill, at 1235 SW Wanamaker Road. ZTA will be handing out flyers for the event in the Memorial Union. If you bring the fly-

er into On the Border from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., the restaurant will donate 10 percent of your bill to breast cancer education and awareness.

“Each year Zeta Tau Al-pha strives to make it bigger and better than the last,” said Robke. “One of the keys to continuing success for Think Pink Week is publicity; getting the word out about the work ZTA is doing is one aspect of fundraising upon which we can always improve.”

By law, Washburn Uni-versity is governed by a nine member board of regents. The board of regents met Thurs-day, Sept. 27 in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union.

The president’s report in-cluded the recent announce-ment of Washburn Univer-sity’s enrollment numbers.

Washburn’s enrollment de-clined 1.36 percent. This was noted as being a result of the new admissions criteria Wash-burn adopted a year and a half ago. It was also noted that the high school graduation rates have been decreasing and may be a factor in the enrollment.

The president’s report also included a summary of the success of the recent career and graduate fair held on Sept.

12 and visit from Joe Drape, a New York Times journalist and author of the book “Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen.”

Also discussed was a pur-chase of a simulator for the school of nursing and a grant KTWU channel 11 received for a back-up power system. The board of regents meeting concluded with a presentation

from Gordon D. McQuere, dean of the college of arts and sciences. His presentation in-cluded a summary of the col-lege of arts and sciences and assessments of the quality of programs and quality of facul-ty in the college.

Last Tuesday in Hender-son 100, a debate on the top-ic of same sex marriage was held.

John Corvino, a gay man, professor of philosophy at Wayne State University, Mich., and promoter of gay rights was on the pro-gay marriage side of the debate.

Corvino’s opponent was Maggie Gallagher, a newspa-per columnist, writer of sever-al books, former president and former chairman of the board of the National Organization for Marriage, an organization that opposes gay marriage, as well as domestic partnerships and civil unions.

Corvino started his argu-ment by making a point about how gay marriage doesn’t take anything away from peo-ple who want a traditional marriage.

“Marriage licenses are not some sort of finite re-sources, that one we run out of them they’re gone,” said Corvino. “Giving marriage to gay people does not mean taking it away from straight people.”

Corvino continued by saying that some of the rea-sons that he and other homo-sexual individuals want gay marriage are because of the benefits a marriage provides. One of these benefits is “next of kin” which allows a partner to visit and make decisions for

their significant other if they have had to be hospitalized. Corvino then clarified that the marriages he is working for are “civil marriages, not re-ligious marriages,” meaning he’s not asking the govern-ment to force Catholic priests to marry same-sex couples. Corvino also addressed the “slippery-slope” argument, which boils down to “If we’re going to allow same sex mar-riage, why not polygamy, in-cest, bestiality?” In response, Corvino said that these are different types of marriage and should be judged on their own, calling out people who use this argument as “chang-ing the topic.”

Gallagher’s first act when she took the stage was to ask

where the attending students stood on gay marriage. This was accomplished by a show of hands. When asked who was in support of gay mar-riage, almost all of the hands in the room went up (Hender-son 100 can seat 150 people and was almost full.) When Gallagher asked the room who was opposed to gay mar-riage, four hands went up. When she asked who thought it was “none of their busi-ness” approximately 10 hands went up.

“I think the place to start is to recognize that marriage is a virtually universal human social institution […] between male and female, I like to say at least one man and one woman, because quite frankly,

polygamy is a fairly common variant among small tribal so-cieties,” said Gallagher.

Gallagher continued by saying that marriage as an idea boils down to “three persistent truths”, the first of which is that humans are at-tracted to an act that creates new human life.

“Newsflash: Sex between men and women makes ba-bies,” said Gallagher.

The second of these truths Gallagher proposed was “Society needs babies,” to continue to exist. Lastly, the third idea was “children need to have a father as well as a mother.

Other concerns that Gal-lagher voiced were that, if gay marriage became legal, busi-

nesses like foster homes and wedding planners that chose not to serve same-sex couples would be seen as bigoted, or worse be forced by the gov-ernment to serve those cou-ples. She also feared that gay marriage would become the norm.

Copies of “Debating Same-Sex Marriage,” the book co-written by Corvino and Gallagher, is available for purchase, courtesy of the Washburn Bookstore. Cor-vino and Gallagher hosted a brief book signing after the event.

Washburn alumnus Chris Goering, Associate Professor of English Education at the University of Arkansas and founder of LitTunes.com, will deliver the 2012-2013 Klem-mer Lecture, which is set to take place at 4 p.m. Thurs-day Oct. 11 inside Carol Chapel.

Presented by Wash-burn’s English department, Goering’s speech is titled “Reversing the Education-al Apocalypse: An Arts and Literacy Way Forward.” The speech will address what Go-ering calls the “educational apocalypse” our public ed-ucation system is currently experiencing. As a former English teacher at Washburn Rural High School, who also served as assistant football, debate and forensics coach, the importance of maintain-ing a productive public ed-ucation system is not lost on Goering.

“I happen to believe fully in the power of public educa-tion and the vision of our fore-fathers for creating a country through our school system,” said Goering. “What has be-come apparent to many, my-self included, is the fact that many large corporations are taking anti-public education stances. A fact due to their influence (money) that could

seriously cripple public edu-cation in America.”

Goering cites a voucher system recently put into place in Louisiana that threatens to undermine public education and create a private school monopoly as an example of the many problems our public schools are facing. He admits

that lessening the grip the cor-porate world has over schools won’t be an easy task; the pro-fessor feels that the power of music and art could play vital roles in the struggle.

“I’ll use this talk to ad-vocate for an arts and literacy focus in the curriculum and also in the discussion about education through the caveat of music,” said Goering. “In short, I’m keenly interested in the research possibilities opened up when educators

start writing songs about their experiences.”

Aside from being a re-spected educator and lectur-er, Goering also writes and records his own music. In 2009, he released an album entitled “Where He’s Going” and hopes to have new mate-rial available sometime next year. However, it’s the con-vergence of his two passions for which the professor has become most well-known. In 2007, Goering launched LitTunes.com, an open-ac-cess, commercial-free col-laborative online community that offers ways to integrate popular music into the class-room.

With contributions from educators across the country, LitTunes.com has become a valuable resource for teach-ers of all grades and subjects when trying to motivate and engage students.

Though inspiration for LitTunes.com is based in teaching methods Goering used while teaching at Wash-burn Rural, the website won’t be the focus of his presenta-tion at the Klemmer Lecture. However, the professor is looking forward to his re-turn to Washburn, where he played football for a year and a half and was an officer in the Washburn Chapter of Sig-ma Tau Delta English Honor Society.

“My time at Washburn

was nothing short of fantastic, so it is an incredible honor to be asked to return, especial-ly given the past outstanding Klemmer Lecturers of the past, some of whom are my heroes,” said Goering. “My parents attended in the 70’s and it was always highly re-garded in my home. It still is for the simple fact that the quality of the teaching was so high--we had terrific faculty members in the English De-partment and many of them I still consider to be personal heroes.”

As a presenter at the Klemmer Lecture, Goering joins a list of highly-respected names in the fields of litera-ture, education and writing. Danny Wade, associate pro-fessor of English, mentions the likes of Ted Kooser, Tom Romano, Sir Christopher Ricks and Sherman Alexie as previous presenters. The Klemmer Lecture is named in honor of former Washburn English instructor and found-er of Inscape literary maga-zine, Jo Ann Klemmer.

“Without Jo Ann’s contri-butions, the Klemmer Lecture would not be possible,” said Wade. “As a result, she con-tributes to our professional development and growth as English professors.”

Two weeks from now, Oct. 16, Washburn Universi-ty will welcome new talent amongst the student body as the Washburn University Campus Activities Board wel-comes comedienne Tracey Ash-ley to the Bradbury T h o m p -son Cen-ter at 8 p.m. The event will be free.

T h r o u g h -out the last year, CAB has welcomed other comedians such as B.T., from the critically ac-claimed HBO movie “Suck-ers,” who visited Washburn University a year ago in No-vember. CAB also welcomed comedienne Melissa Vil-lasenor, from America’s Got Talent, last January. Ashley will be the first comedic act booked by CAB at Washburn University this semester.

Known as the semifinalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Stand-ing 5” and as “Best Female Performer” by the Campus Activities Magazine, Ash-ley now performs on college campuses and at other come-

dic events around the coun-try. Ashley has entertained in over 100 campuses so far throughout her career.

Covering everything from her marriage, race, up-bringing, and personal en-counters with others, Ashley’s performance has been called a humorous hit on college campuses everywhere. Why?

Simply because Ashley strongly believes in the phrase “laughter is the best medicine.”

From always know-ing that she wanted to

make people laugh, to making it happen,

Ashley worked hard to hone the perfor-mance she’s per-fected and now all of that hard work

has paid her a good fortune and soon she’ll share it with the students of Washburn University.

Tricia PetersonWASHBURN REVIEW

Election season pairs poorly with Facbook

Question: I’m hav-ing sex with a guy I can’t stand, but I can’t seem to stop. What do I do?

This is a loaded question which causes me to ask one of my own. The real question here is: why do you want to stop?

If it’s because you see him as a jerk (or slimeball, or be-neath you, or whatever the case may be), but he makes your toes curl, then what’s the issue? If it’s not abusive and you’re safe emotionally as well as physical-ly, stop worrying about it. All is fair in love and war, and from the sounds of it, you two are playing “clash of the titans.”

Not so simple though if you want to stop because you’re left feeling ashamed or bad about yourself after you guys are done. Or worse, he makes you feel bad about yourself in some way. If that’s the case, there are huge red flags, particularly probing at self-esteem issues or indicators that you’re punishing yourself for something.

You should examine what your motivations are and figure out why exactly you keep com-ing back and what the drive is to self-destruct. In this context, there is definitely something to pay attention to.

Another dynamic would be whether or not you want to stop and you actually can’t. If you have a physical compulsion and climb on him to itch that scratch simply because he’s there, you’re looking at some kind of sex addiction, which would al-lude to the previous answer as something to really examine.

So, rather than asking me what to do, ask yourself why you do it. But as I said, if it’s the first one, safely get what you guys need to get, roll over, and go back to loathing in the morn-ing.

If you would like Raz’s ad-vice, email your question to [email protected]. Look for this column every week on this opinion page for your an-swer.

“What do you think about the proposed smoking ban?”

Alex Money, freshman, engi-neering

“It takes away rights and there would be a riot.”

Heather Gary, sophomore, English education

“In favor of the ban.”

“Neutral, it should be the choice of the students.”

“I want smoking to stay because most peo-ple stress without their nicotine.”

“I definitely don’t like smoking, however, I think it’s taking away a certain freedom from students who do smoke. I don’t agree with the ban.”

It’s election season and all the assholes are out. Not that they aren’t out on any regular day, but it seems like they have more to say during this time.

Usually I am a huge Face-book checker, always posting, always commenting and liking different things. Lately though, I have avoided Facebook as much as I can, only posting Instagram photos and fluff. Every morning I wake up and get on my phone to check the “news” my friends post. Lately, I just don’t do it. If I want to be happy when I wake up, I avoid social media alto-gether.

Whether it’s Obama or Romney sending an email for money, or an uncle or sister posting “Why You Shouldn’t Vote For Obama/Romney,” I don’t want to hear it right when I wake up. The people that really bother me are the ones who post five or six different posters or articles that say the same thing, and they all come from the same

source. I always want to com-ment, but that is fueling the fire.

I think that is what annoys me the most – I can’t comment and argue because then it will start this three-day debate be-tween you and that friend, on a public forum. Then you always end up arguing with a friend of your friend’s, whom you don’t even know in “real” life. This has happened, and when I final-ly meet this person face-to-face, it’s always awkward, and it’s like, ‘do I like this person and give them another chance even though they really pissed me off on Facebook, or do I judge them for everything little thing they wrote in their arguments?’

Personally, I think it’s your own decision who to vote for and would rather people keep their opinions to themselves. Stop trying to convince me to vote for someone, and leave me alone. I tried posting some-thing political the other day and immediate received three long paragraphs about what that person thought about my post. Then, other friends posted their arguments and this went on for two days. I never even posted a rebuttal, and that is when I de-cided, no more.

All this being said, I really do like that people my age and younger are paying attention to the election and caring about it. I don’t want people to think I don’t. Just keep an open mind that there are opinions other than your own.

Community art projects not only bring the community together, they also make the community a better place.

Betsy Roe, adjunct art instructor at Washburn University and associate curator at the Alice C. Sabatini Art Gallery in the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, is in charge of a new community art project called “Seams Like Van Gogh.” Last week, members of the community helped to build the recreation of the famous artwork.

“It’s a community art project, which means, it benefits the community and involves the community,” said Roe. “You don’t have to be an artist, it’s a participatory type of artwork.”

This project will be unveiled at October’s First Friday Artwalk Oct. 5, and will be available for viewing until Oct. 14 at the Yeldarb Gallery. Participating groups include Teens Taking Action and TSCPL Teen Advisory Board, with additional support from MB Piland, Yeldarb Gallery, NOTO artists and Topeka Rescue Mission.

“The clothing that’s

been donated was initiated by the teens taking action, so it’s incorporating things that are already existing in the community,” said Roe. “Then the clothing goes to the Topeka Rescue Mission. We are getting lots of different areas [of the community] involved. This is an outreach of the Topeka Library and the Sabatini Gallery - community building is the biggest intent of this project.”

The project participants started by collecting winter clothing for those in need beginning in early September. Even though the project is almost complete, there are still many chances to donate

clothing. Collection boxes are being painted by

teens in the community and one is currently available in Yeldarb Gallery. The clothing donated was used to “paint” and re-create a large-scale mural of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night.

After the display is taken down the

c lothing w i l l

b e donated to the Topeka Rescue Mission for those who need winter clothing. The clothing

will not be harmed during this process.

Roe likes to bring the community

together with art, and this was the perfect way for her to do so. Her

classes at Washburn, as well as other classes required the students to help roll clothing up, wrap it with string and then place the clothing in the correct

place on the mural.“I thought it was quite interesting because it’s using a different medium to display art,” said Mike Vasquez, computer

science major and a student of Roe’s introduction

to art class. “Sitting there alone you actually get to think about how things are going to look how everything is going to sit. Basically how each piece is going to coming together to make a whole different picture than what you are looking at, I thought it was kind of interesting.”

For more information, the project has its own Facebook page called “Seams Like Van Gogh,” the URL is facebook.

com/SeamsLikeVanGogh. For those who didn’t

participate this year, but would still like to, Roe encourages those interested to donate clothing. She hopes this will become a yearly project.

The Yeldarb Gallery is located at 900 N. Kansas Ave.

Ghost Tours of Kansas is a business owned and operated by Cathy Ramirez, a native of North Topeka. This year marks her eighth year running the ghost tours business.

A ghost tour event consists of loading people onto a bus or trolley which then proceeds around a designated area. The tour will make 10 to 12 stops per tour where the guide tells stories of the haunting at each location.

Each tour will also have one to two areas where the vehicle is unloaded for the passengers to take photos and possibly have their own hands on experience.

Ghost Tours of Kansas also offers a Psychic Fun and Feast which includes a dinner in a haunted restaurant, history and ghost story presentation. The night is then topped off with personalized psychic readings for each guest by Topeka psychics Lena Townsend or Jo Flowers.

Tickets for bus tours typically run $17 per person during the off season, November to September, and $20 per person during the peak season in October.

E v e r y d a y - L e g a c y Paranormal from Wichita and Kansas Paranormal Research Society of Topeka are responsible for the majority of the investigations that contribute to Ghost Tours.

“When Cathy hears about a business having activity and wants to be included on

the tours, she usually sends a team within that region to go and investigate,” said Renee Solis, an assistant case manager and investigator at Everyday-Legacy Paranormal. “When everything comes together on the tour, it has the history, the ghost stories from witness or employees of the company

but also personal experiences investigators had at that location.”

Ghost Tours currently does tours of Holton, Leavenworth, Manhattan, Atchison, Wichita, Abilene, Lawrence, St. Joseph Missouri and three separate Topeka tours: West, North and Downtown. By 2013, Ramirez is hoping to add Dodge City, Kansas City, Shawnee and Emporia to the list.

“Each tour is different and tailored to the exciting history and haunts that are featured,” said Lena Townsend, owner of Peaceful Whispers business and registered metaphysical practitioner. “A perfect example is the Abilene tour, it offers an old west feel and

guests get to carry lanterns while on the tour to really take them back to that old west feel.”

Ramirez has six different speaking engagements scheduled at various libraries in Topeka and the surrounding area in October.

“I attended Rochester Grade School and was always on the lookout for the Albino Lady,” said Ramirez. “I suppose that is what peaked my interest in ghosts.”

Ramirez’s interest in the Albino Lady and other ghost stories continued as she started going door to door to businesses and public places to collect, compare and research stories. Her goal was to find the history as to why a ghost would dwell on such places.

“Fire, suicide, murder, love triangle, drowning, any number of events. Eventually I joined up with ghost hunters to help confirm stories. Putting Ghost Stories, history and evidence together makes for one great tour.”

Ramirez has recently written a book titled “Where’s the Ghost?” which chronicles the challenges and successes she has faced being a ghost hunter and starting the Ghost Tours of Kansas.

More information and a full list of tour dates and events can be found at www.ghosttoursofkansas.com as well as links to all of her allies in paranormal investigations.

White Concert Hall will host a concert featuring both the Washburn Orchestra and Wind Ensemble. The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 4. It will feature a guest appearance by bass player, James VanDemark, a bass instructor at the Easton School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. VanDemark will be playing with Washburn violin instructor, Diana Seitz. The Orchestra, containing approximately 55 students, will play two classical pieces.

The first classical piece will be “Hungarian March” by Hector Berlioz. The second piece the Orchestra will play is the overture of the opera “Ruslan and Lyudmila” by Mikhail Glinka.

T h e second half of the

c o n c e r t

contains only one piece, to be performed by the Wind Ensemble. This ensemble is comprised of 49 members. The 49 players will play James Barnes’ Third Symphony.

Barnes, a composer of and instructor at the University of Kansas, was commissioned by the United States Air Force Band to write this piece after the death of his infant daughter.

“The third movement is his tribute to her,” said Norman. “It’s one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard.”

Jon Ward, a Washburn student who is a junior in music education, will be playing the trumpet in Barnes’ Third Symphony and described it as “One of the most moving pieces I’ve ever played.” The Orchestra and Wind Ensemble Concert will last approximately an hour and a half, and admission will be free.

Less than one week after the orchestra and wind ensemble concert, another

will take place at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 10. The Capital City

Marching Band Festival will feature nine high

school bands from towns as far away as Kansas City.

The bands will be rated by

a team of five judges, but not in a traditional competition style, as it is just a festival . The judges in question will be representatives from universities across the state, including Kansas State University, Fort Hayes University and of course Washburn University. After all nine high school bands have played, the event will end with a performance by the Washburn University Marching Band.

“All profits from the festival will benefit the activities that the [Washburn] bands do,” said Norman.

Examples of activities may include, but are not limited to, commissioning new pieces of music and funding another high school marching band festival that will take place in January.

The admission fee to the Marching Band Festival will be $7 for adults and $4 for children above age six, as well as for students from outside of Washburn. Admission for children six and under is free. The Marching Band Festival will also have free admission for Washburn students who present their Washburn ID.

Topeka’s NOTO Arts District is about to welcome an old, but yet new friend to the neighborhood. When the longstanding watering hole at 917 N. Kansas Ave. celebrates its grand re-opening and will officially become known as J&J Gallery Bar during October’s First Friday Art Walk.

Known most recently as Ruffneck’s, the business is doing much more than simply changing its name. Owners Jona and John Rupnick, both Prairie Band Pottawatomie Tribal Members, intend on making J&J Gallery Bar a major part of the arts and entertainment explosion currently going on in NOTO. By giving musicians, performance artists and visual artists all a place to showcase their skills, J&J is offering a new twist on the local bar scene.

One of J&J’s most striking features is the rock wall, dating back to the building’s construction. This wall is to be affixed with track lighting and serve as a place for Native Americans and other contemporary artists to show and sell their wares. The back area boasts a black light art room and live music stage. The atmosphere is unique and sets J&J apart from other NOTO businesses.

“J&J Gallery Bar will be the hip newest addition

to the booming NOTO arts district exhibiting works from the art world’s emerging and established artists,” said Jona Rupnick, who has been one of the driving forces behind the re-branding.

Though Rupnick arrived in North Topeka prior to the NOTO fever sweeping over Topeka, her choice of location was no coincidence. Settling on this historic stretch of N. Kansas Avenue after the original Ruffneck’s, located in Emmett, Kan. was lost in a fire; Rupnick decided that North Topeka would be the best place to start anew.

“I chose this area, for one, because of the cost,” said Rupnick. “The rates are very reasonable and I like the old buildings. Another reason was that I knew there had been discussion about a riverfront project, arts district and possible casino. That’s what got me motivated to buy and get established in this area.”

The bar owner admittedly took a gamble with her choice of locale, due to the area’s less-than-stellar reputation, and the move had many close to her shaking their heads in doubt. However, it seems as if her decision has begun to pay off in many different ways over the last several months.

“We see a lot of new faces, especially on First Fridays. I’m excited about the changes because it’s brought in a lot of revenue as well as new

people that wouldn’t normally be down here,” said Rupnick. “In addition to that, I’ve been able to connect with a lot of performers and artists that are excited about what’s going on down here and want to be involved. We’re all able to connect with each other and find a place to work together. I’ve always been an art advocate. I really enjoy everything going on here.”

J&J has already hosted a number of local bands and featured a diverse array of area artists. Every Thursday night, local musician Judd Mason hosts an “anything goes” open jam session and Rupnick plans to continue featuring live music, both inside and in the back courtyard, which will allow passers-by to witness the diverse array of art J&J has to offer.

The grand re-opening is a two-day event set to kick off during this weekend’s First Friday Art Walk and carry over into Saturday night. Friday night will feature chainsaw performance artist Matt Fund and music by The Cleaners in the courtyard from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday night, J&J will play host to local acts Confined in Flesh, Hawg Stompr and Midgetpounder.

After an embarrassing loss last week to 0-3 Central Okla-homa, the Washburn Ichabods found a way to redeem them-selves.

On Family Day at Yag-er Stadium, the Washburn Ichabods held strong against Southwest Baptist University with a 42-14 victory.

Washburn took to the board first as sophomore quar-terback Mitch Buhler passed to junior tight end Tore’ Hurst for a 13-yard TD pass. Southwest Baptist countered soon after with a 9-yard touchdown recep-tion by Just Duhaney, tying the game at 7-7.

The Ichabods pushed ahead 21-7 as junior running back Hayden Groves and Hurst both scored a touchdown.

Freshman receiver Jordan Hart soon followed suit as he took a 47-yard pass from backup quarterback Joel Piper in for a touchdown to bring the Ich-abods lead to 28-7 at the half.

The third quarter remained idle as both Washburn and Southwest Baptist held each other offensively for all mo-ments of play.

Washburn came back strong at the start of the fourth

as redshirt freshman, Kameron Stewart, took possession and ran in a 2-yard run putting the Ichabods at 35-7 against South-west Baptist.

Stewart broke the bound-ary this season as the first Ich-abod football player to go over the 100 yard mark. A feat, not only remarkable for a fresh-man, but also impressive as his 104 yards were on 20 carries.

“It’s key to our offense

and Kameron did a great job,” said Craig Schurig, Washburn head coach. “We should be consistently getting down those yards.”

Stewart was called upon after starting running back Donnie Lockhart and second team running back Groves both went down with injuries. The quiet-spoken Stewart seemed surprised at being the first to break the century mark.

“We always talk in practice about being the next man up and I just tried to do that,” said Stewart. “I feel like I have to go out and do what coach expects of me. I have to go out and do what the team expects of me, every game. No exceptions.”

Southwest Baptist an-swered early in the fourth quar-ter to bring the score to 35-14. But redshirt freshman receiv-er Connor Crimmins snagged a 19-yard touchdown pass pushing the score to 42-14 as Washburn got its sixth win over Southwest Baptist University.

The Washburn coach-ing staff was happy with their team’s fourth quarter per-formance, one of the team’s strongest throughout the entire game.

“I was very happy with how we played in the fourth quarter,” said Schurig. “I was pleased with the balance we had between our offense and defense. The defensive line held their own against South-west Baptist strongly and did

a great job shutting down their base offense.”

Schurig was not the only one who thought his team played much better against SBU than UCO.

“I also thought this game went really well,” said Buhler. “We came out strong as a team and ran the ball very well on our offensive end.”

Buhler, who struggled at times in last week’s loss at UCO, was proud of how the team has improved over time.

“We were a lot stronger on our offense today and it was a great emphasis overall being able to move the ball as well as we did,” said Buhler. “The main concept of our offense is our movement down the field so we will definitely continue pushing this hard in our next game.”

Washburn (4-1, 4-1 MIAA) held the Bearcats to only 145 yards in the game while racking up 408 total yards. The No. 20 ranked Bods travel this week-end to Jefferson City, Mo., to play Lincoln University (0-5, 0-5 MIAA).

Bods revenge first loss of season with blowout of SBU

Bearcat Blowout: Washburn’s Jaime Myers (31) returns a punt against Southern Baptist last Saturday at Yager Stadium. The Bods took care of the Bearcats easily with a 42-14 win. Myers, a redshirt freshman linebacker, had two tackles and had 46 yards off of eight punt returns.

In a world where statistics

mean everything, the only true number that counts in sports is the one in the win or loss col-umn. Moral victories are great ,

but actual victories speak much louder. Respect isn’t earned by punching in numbers and try-ing to find the “right” formula, even if Moneyball says other-wise. Winning defines a career.

For Washburn head vol-leyball coach Chris Herron, winning is something he and his team have become accus-tomed to. The former Benedic-tine College coach earned his 400th career victory last Friday after the Lady Blues defeated Fort Hays State University 3-0. For Herron it was just another game. He didn’t even realize he was close to reaching another coaching milestone.

“I would not have known had my mother not accidental-ly e-mailed me and said con-gratulations on win 400,” said Herron.

It was a nice gesture by Herron’s mother. The only problem; it was only win num-ber 399.

“Then she sent a text, and I didn’t get it immediately,” said Herron. “I had already read the email.”

Herron’s didn’t realize that Washburn’s win over North-west Missouri State Universi-ty was only win number 399. But it didn’t upset Herron very much.

“I had no clue what she was talking about,” said Her-ron.

Win 400 was the least of Herron’s worries as the Lady Blues geared up for a shot at No. 1 ranked Univeristy of Ne-braska-Kearney. The win over the Tigers the night before the UNK game gave Herron a re-

cord of 400-85. Herron’s stun-ning .825 winning percentage is one of the top in NCAA his-tory among Division II coach-es. Herron, an intense coach on the court, was modest about his achievement.

“It means I’m old and I’ve coached a long time.”

Herron has had a prolific coaching career at WU. In 11 season at Washburn Herron has accumulated 325 wins and only lost 56 times. The Lady Blues have made it to the NCAA tour-nament nine out of the past 10 seasons. Washburn has had at least one All-American in nine of the 10 years and have won the MIAA four times during Herron’s regime. After a 32-3 record last year, Herron and the Lady Blues have all eyes on a national title.

“This senior class, I just think so highly of them as peo-ple, as players,” said Herron. “They’ve had to put up with me. They have my dying re-spect.”

The outcome of last Satur-day’s match may not have been in Washburn’s favor, but the no ranked No. 4 Lady Blues are looking to add on to Herron’s already outstanding career. A national championship would be a nice addition.

In the biggest game of the season thus far in Divi-sion II volleyball, the No. 3 ranked Washburn Lady Blues came out ready to play hard-ball. The Blues showed no fear when they stepped on the court to face off against the No. 1 ranked University of Nebras-ka-Kearney Lopers at UNK’s Health & Sports Center.

“We were ready to play,” said Chris Herron, Washburn head coach.

Washburn shook off any jitters and rust from their game the night before. The Lady Blues trailed early in the open-ing set but Washburn was able to claw their way back, claim-ing the first set 25-22 behind a stellar performance by senior hitter Jessica Kopp. Kopp tied her career high with 15 kills, but the Lopers responded and

proved why they were top team in the country by winning the next three sets to win the match.

“We passed well. We served well,” said Herron. “Usually when that happens, you win.”

In the second set the game was tied at 21-21 after 17 ties in the set. Washburn was un-able to take the lead and steal away the second set as they fell 25-21. The third set was déjà vu for the Lady Blues who again found themselves tied with UNK at 21. And for the second time the Blues were not able to pull through losing 25-23. Washburn dropped the fourth set for their first loss on the sea-son.

“In this case we didn’t swing it well,” said Herron. “We did those two things [pass and serve], but man did we make a lot of hitting errors.”

Washburn did a phenome-nal job in the first set, holding

the Lopers to .020 hitting per-centage and just .189 for the whole match. But a poor fourth set that resulted in the Blues hitting .000 cost WU tremen-dously.

“The bottom line is that if you play small in a big game, that reflects on you as an ath-lete,” said Herron. “You can’t play small in big games.”

Washburn’s .115 hitting percentage and 28 team errors left room for error and ulti-mately cost Washburn a chance at handing UNK their first lost of the season. Standout seniors Hilary Hughes and Jessica Fey both struggled as Hughes fin-ished the match with an abys-mal .020 hitting percentage and Fey ended with a not-to-good .040. Three Washburn players finished below .050, a stagger-ing number.

“We out blocked them, we out dug them, we just didn’t hit well,” said Herron. “It’s a

fine line when playing the No. 1 team in the country. Things have to go your way.”

Both teams came off of sloppy performances the night before. For the first time this season UNK was forced into a fifth set before defeating a pesky Emporia State Univer-sity. Washburn played a much more improved Fort Hays State University Tiger team looking to catch the Lady Blues look-ing ahead. The Blues managed to escape the trap game with a 3-0 win, but the game was not pretty in the eyes of their head coach.

“We just kind of played well enough to win the first two games. There wasn’t any umpf,” said Herron. “In game three yikes. We were down 20-10 and down 24-17.”

Kopp was her consistent self, posting 11 kills and 11 digs. Fey had a much better performance against the Tigers

with 12 kills on .304. It was an ugly performance for the Lady Blues, but enough to get the win.

“To win at 24-17…it just doesn’t happen. I don’t know if we beat them or if they lost,” said Herron. “I didn’t feel like that we gave our best effort. We were looking ahead to the next night. They were anxious to play to Kearney.”

Now the Lady Blues must respond after losing for the first time this season. Wash-burn returns home Oct. 5-6 as they host the Lady Blues Fall Classic. The 10-team event will have some familiar faces in teams like MIAA foes Em-poria State and Missouri West-ern State. With a straight face Herron turned down the idea of another let `down.

“It’s not the same, because on Friday, kids are in class,” said Herron. “There’s not going to be the gigantic crowds that

we’ve had.”The No.4 Washburn Lady

Blues (14-1, 5-1 MIAA) will look to avenge their loss and keep a 42 home match streak going against Southwestern Oklahoma State University and Southeastern Oklahoma State University Friday.

“We hope kids can pop in if they don’t have a class,” said Herron. “We certainly appreci-ate all the people that have at-tended our matches.”

The Lady Blues will round out the Fall Classic against Harding University and South-ern Nazarene University on Saturday. Washburn will re-group for another run at the Lopers later this season.

“We look to playing them [Kearney] again,” said Herron.

Veteran linebackers lead the way for the Washburn defense

Standing Strong: Washburn was able to steal away the first set against the No. 1 ranked UNK Lopers, but hitting errors ultimately doomed the Lady Blues who fell 3-1. Washburn lost 22-25, 25-21, 25-23, 25-16 and fell a spot in the AVCA rankings to fourth. Washburn will look to rebound as they defend a 42 game home match winning streak as the Lady Blues host the 10-team 2012 Lady Blues Fall Classic at Lee Arena Oct. 5-6

When one of Washburn’s linebackers make a play it usu-ally has a ripple effect through the whole team.

To the individuals that make up this group, it’s just business as usual.

That is because these guys are constantly making plays. Whether it is during practice or a game, there is always one in a position to make a big play.

Success for the LBs starts with the leader of the group, Jahmil Taylor. He has set an example for the underclassmen to follow. Taylor views himself as a hybrid type of linebacker who can play physical but also drop back and use finesse as well.

“I’m inspired by and grew up wanting to be Ray Lew-is,” said Taylor. “He plays the game with passion and does it because he loves it. He has an amazing level of dedication.”

Taylor also points out that he likes the fact that a former teammate of his gets to play on

the same field as Lewis every Sunday for the Baltimore Ra-vens. Cary Williams has played in the NFL since 2008 and was drafted by the Tennessee Ti-tans before ultimately finding a home in Baltimore as a starting cornerback for the Ravens.

“I’m pretty envious of Cary because he has the op-portunity to play with one of the greats and he came from the same place as I am at right now,” said Taylor.

Taylor has sat out the last two games because of injury, but he isn’t too worried about his absence being a problem.Willie Williams is an outside linebacker that Taylor sees a lot of talent in. He has watched the redshirt junior from Berkeley, Mo. improve every year that he has been at Washburn.

“Willie Williams is a great athlete and can play almost any position on the field,” said Tay-lor. “I think he is finally starting to incorporate the mental aspect of football into his game.”

Williams grew up in a sub-urb of St. Louis and didn’t play football until his freshman year

of high school. “Where I lived not many

people played organized sports,” said Williams.

Williams high school ca-reer was very successful and he was named to the all-metro and all-state teams at linebacker.

Williams decided that going to school in Topeka to major in history was the right move for him.

“I lived and went to school in a mostly all black area so I came to Washburn to get a cul-ture shock and to see what a small town lifestyle was like,” said Williams.

He has incorporated his big-city lifestyle into his game-play and has become a very vocal leader of the defense. He also gets a lot of his inspiration from the same player Taylor does.

“I look up to Ray Lewis because he is vocal and still makes plays,” said Williams. “He goes full speed all the time and is a vocal leader. He leads by example and that’s what I try to do.”

Jaime Myers and Bryce

Atagi round out the lineback-er quartet. Atagi plays middle linebacker with Taylor while Myers, a redshirt freshman, plays opposite of Williams on the outside.

Myers, a coverage type of linebacker, uses strength and speed to disrupt opposing of-fenses. He credits his success at the collegiate level to strength and conditioning coach, David Trupp.

“He does a great job get-ting us ready,” said Myers. “He knows how the body feels and knows the lifts necessary for us to perform well.”

Myers is very impressed by the leadership he sees in his fellow linebackers and believes they are guys to emulate in his future growth.

“Like every team we make mistakes but what’s good about this group of guys on our de-fense is we have the leaders to step up and tell everyone ‘hey we need to step it up’ or ‘hey this is not how we play,’” said Myers.

Myers grew up in Norman, Okla., the home to the Okla-

homa Sooners. His childhood memories are filled with watch-ing them play and trying to rep-licate their success in his own play style.

“I was a Sooner fan grow-ing up. All I could remember is being a child walking around on Saturdays hearing everyone yell ‘Boomer Sooner,’” said Myers. “Everyone I hung out with played sports so every day it was football or basketball or tag. We just liked to be active kids.”

His thorough understand-ing of the Sooners and how they play the game has taught him that the key to being suc-cessful is to not be selfish.

“There is no one greater than the team so I’m just trying to do my part and give the team my best effort,” said Myers.

Myers really enjoys the company of his fellow line-backers, especially that of Ata-gi. The aggressive play style that Atagi has is truly inspiring to Myers.

“Bryce is an aggressive player and has a full speed, knock you out type of mental-

ity,” said Myers. “I love it, he knows how to make plays and it helps our defense out.”

Atagi is another vocal leader on the defense who sees it as his duty to rally his players to get them in the right mindset.

“I like to lead the charge and be loud,” said Atagi.

Atagi, a redshirt junior, is a native of Shawnee, Kan. where he excelled at both run-ning back and defensive back in high school. He ultimately made the decision to play at Washburn because they gave him the opportunity to play the position of his choice.

The man of Samoan de-scent started as a sophomore for Washburn and has become a vital part of the defense’s iden-tity. Taylor and Atagi share a special bond that has created an effective run-stop tandem.

“Whenever we are on the field together, we are always on the same page and know what each other is doing,” said Atagi.
