Little Free Libraries spread literacy

A current program in Topeka is making it easier for Topekans to read by giv-ing them easier access to used books. People can even drop off their own books, if they want, in the little house-shaped boxes found in various neighborhoods around town.

This program, Little Free Library, Ltd., began in Wisconsin in 2009 as a way to build the community and promote literacy with free book exchanges within neighborhoods.

Kimberly and James Daugherty heard about the program and built one for their front yard. They liked the message the program was trying to spread and decided to participate. They didn’t know that it would take off like it did.

“It brings people together at the location in the neighborhood to talk,” said Kimberly Daugherty. “Instead of just rushing in and out of your house, you kind of start talking [to each other] about books and then you start talking about other

Women Empowerment no-ticed the library and got in contact with the couple, asking them to build 20 more libraries for around Topeka. The non-profit organiza-tion has a reading program for at-risk teenage girls; meaning girls at risk for contracting HIV, teen pregnancy or not graduating high school. The group found that the more they introduced young women to books, the more ex-cited they became about college and taking care of themselves. This program would help do just that and bring the community to-gether, as well.

“Our first idea was 20 but now we would like to do 50 be-cause there are just so many neighborhoods that could really benefit from them,” said Daugh-erty.

This program also benefits the environment because it pro-motes the recycling of books and a place to get used books instead of buying new ones.

“It is green in that you are re-cycling your books instead of just throwing them away - you can just go in and take one for free and leave one for free,” said Daugh-erty. “The bottom shelf is all for kids books and the top shelf is for adult books. So it’s for all ages.”

They are also using as many recycled materials as they can, to build the little libraries. They encourage anyone who wants to donate materials to drop them off at their house, 5716 SW Westport Circle here in Topeka. This is where they build the libraries.

“If somebody wanted to volunteer to help build, we do build days where we get as many people that are interested as pos-sible [in the summer] and then we set up like a Saturday where we pull everything out of our ga-rage and people come and help us build and paint,” said Daugherty. “If students are interested in vol-unteering sometime, they can do that, too.”

Bita Givechi, a senior busi-ness marketing major at Wash-burn painted a box that is located at 225 SW Yorkshire Road. She

worked for Safe Streets when they started the utility box paint-ing program last summer and wasn’t ready for an entire utility box and figured the library would be a good starting point – and good for the community.

“Doing community art gives you ownership of your neigh-borhood or your community or wherever that box goes, so I made mine Kansas themed to try to tie it into local values and being proud of where you are from,” said Givechi.

She also felt that it was a great opportunity to make other people’s lives better even though she may not necessarily see it.

“It was a really cool oppor-tunity to engage with people who I will probably never meet,” said Givechi. “Because they will be interacting with the box with-

out me ever knowing and you never know how many people are touched by a book that comes from a stranger, so I just thought it was a really cool chance to do something like this.”

The Weather Channel and the History Channel have both interviewed Brian Thomas about his expertise in astronomy and about his knowledge of disaster scenarios. He is also an associate professor in physics and astronomy at Washburn and a well-known physicist who studies an element called carbon 14.

“Most of my work involves how the Earth is affected by radiation from space,” said Thomas. “Lots of different kinds of events are fascinating. Something recently that my collaborators and I have been looking at [is] what may have caused an observed change in carbon 14 about 774 AD.”

Carbon 14 is an isotope of the element carbon and it radioactively decays over time. It is produced in the atmosphere by high-energy radiation in space and the levels were changed during this time period. Although they aren’t certain, Thomas and his collaborators believe that a solar flare was the cause of this increase in carbon 14.

“We’ve proposed that the best explanation is a solar flair,” said Thomas. “The way that we’ve done that is we’ve inferred from the carbon 14 that’s present, the kind of energy and kind of radiation one would expect. The one that fits the best is a solar kind of event.”

Thomas has loved nature and math since a young age. He remembers spending a lot of time outside and visiting national parks.

“I was always interested

in nature,” said Thomas. “I liked doing math and I liked understanding just how things worked at the most basic level and that’s what physics is really about – understanding the most fundamental properties.”

For anyone who is interested in learning about the sciences but isn't strong in the requirements needed to become a physicist, there are other options.

“There are two ways to approach the sciences,” said Thomas. “One way is to ‘do’ science, and that requires going through a lot of math and a lot of science classes. The other is to approach it from a more conceptual level. Learning about it and understanding it in a more general, descriptive way.”

At Washburn, Thomas teaches both general education level courses and upper-level physics courses. He chose to teach at Washburn because of the small classrooms and because teaching is a top priority. He also gets to teach a variety of students who are on various levels.

“I really enjoy teaching something like astronomy because it’s an introductory course and most people coming in know nothing about astronomy so I get to translate the big ideas into a different language or a different way of describing it,” said Thomas. “I enjoy that and I like translating [the information]. It’s also fun to teach the physics majors too because we can get more into the details. That’s one thing that is a nice balance here is that I get to a little bit of both.”

Thomas received his bachelor’s degree from the University of the Pacific, in California, and received his Ph.D. at the University of Kansas. At Washburn, he teaches different courses.

Thomas glows on radiation Boyd studies horsesMadison PowersWASHBURN REVIEW

Lee Boyd has been a professor with the Washburn University biology department since 1981.

She has a bachelor of science from St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a master of science from the University of Wyoming studying the mustangs, and a doctor of philosophy from Cornell University. She currently teaches BI 100: Intro to Biology, BI 255: Human Physiology, BI 110:General Zoology, BI 315: Vertebrate Zoology, and BI 202: Biology of Behavior, and does research with her students.

One study that she conducted over several years was the behavior of the Przewalski’s horses (Equus ferus przewalskii). These ancestral horses have 66 chromosomes, two more than the domestic horses (Equus caballus), which gives them enough genetic variation to be considered a separate species. These animals were completely extinct in the wild in 1968, but successfully reintroduced in Mongolia in 1992. Currently an estimated 375 horses exist in the wild at 3 different sites in Mongolia.

Boyd moved to Topeka to study these horses at the local zoo. She wanted to compare the behavior of the Przewalski’s horses in the wild with the P-horses in captivity. To do so, she had to travel to Mongolia on several different occasions.

“I felt like coming home, when I stepped off the plane in Mongolia. It looked like the west, it reminded me of Wyoming,”

said Boyd. “The people there are very friendly, and it is kind of like Kansas, which is a rural area and everybody helps everybody.”

She stayed with the Mongolian people, and during their interactions learned about their culture and their traditions as horsemen.

“They were very interested about our cowboys,” said Boyd. “They were very disappointed that there weren’t as many as there once were, and that they don’t do any cattle drives anymore.”

Besides sharing the different horse cultures and discovering many similarities, Boyd also gathered uncommon culinary experiences, all of which she brought back to Washburn to share with her students.

“Yesterday in the physiology lab we were talking about lungs, and I would tell them that I have actually sampled some lung in Mongolia, and the students said 'ugh,' and that ugh-factor was kind of fun,” said Boyd.

The knowledge gained about international travel, different cultures, conservation and reintroduction is appreciated by the students.

“I have taken the Biology of Animal Behavior class with Dr. Boyd and I think her experiences in working with those horses make her flourish in those types of classes,” said Trey Moss, a senior (marine) biology student. “I think it’s cool, I would like to work in a different country, I just hope my animals are more wet.”

Question: I’ve never been one for confronta-tion but there is this girl in my class who is always on her cell phone watching YouTube or on Facebook and she’s directly in front of me. It’s very distracting and while I’d love to also be on Facebook or whatev-er instead of dealing with a boring class, I’m paying lots of money to be here. She’s not the only one ei-ther. There’s this row of girls who are always chat-ting in side conversation

while I’m trying to listen. I’ve moved several times but they’re so loud that it doesn’t seem to matter. The teacher is too nice to say anything, but it’s re-ally annoying. It’s almost summer so hopefully I don’t see these girls again next semester but I’m a freshman and I bet this is going to happen more and more so how do I politely tell people to quit wasting my time when I’m trying to learn?

Answer: Here is the beau-ty of it, you’re absolutely right: only a couple more weeks and you’re free of it all. That said, this speaks to a much larger is-sue we have in our classes right now, which primarily has to do with the overall insensitivity and brazenness of the student body toward each other. It’s downright rude to be on Facebook during class. If you’re bored, it’s be-cause you’re not pulling the con-versation to you, or being invest-ed in your education.

All of that being said, as for the confrontation of the whole thing, out of class, ask the ring leader of the group (there is al-ways one) to either a) knock it off or b) sit somewhere in the back where it’s not as disruptive. How do you tell them to quit wasting your time when you’re trying to learn? Easy: tell them to quit wasting your time when you’re trying to learn.

Now, more than likely, she’s not going to care about your academic aspirations as she’s already on Facebook and hav-ing side conversations. How-

ever, if you approach it nicely, you might be surprised. If that doesn’t work, talk to your teach-er about what can be worked out (which sounds totally junior high and seems like you’re suddenly a tattle tale, I digress).

Here’s the thing: your ed-ucation is your responsibility. Everyone here is 100 percent accountable for their grades and how much they get out of their classes. I understand that some teachers are more proficient than others, but if you’re failing your classes while skimming the inter-net on your phone, it’s your fault. Frankly, it’s rude, tacky, and we all see you do it. More and more professors are having to outlaw laptops and other devices in classes because people like you don’t know when it’s appropri-ate to make duck faces at your friends.

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 answer.

Tricia PetersonWASHBURN REVIEW

It should be noted that The Review rarely chooses to publish stories that are about themselves, so an event that causes news worthiness within our small group has to be of particular note for us to deem it worthy to print.

Just such an event has hap-pened and it’s about money. See the truth is Student Media oper-ates a roughly $100,000 annual budget and most of that money comes from student activities fees. The student activities fee is something comparable to student taxes - all WU students have to pay the fees and the fees go to support campus organizations, such as CAB, WSGA and obvi-ously, Student Media. We in Stu-dent Media are incredibly thank-ful for the money we receive from this and use it as drive to put forward a high quality prod-uct.

So what’s the big deal? While The Review has been meeting deadline after deadline to get the paper out weekly, the AirBods crew has been putting

shows out almost daily, the KAW yearbook has already missed two of their page submission dead-line. Due to various budget cuts to make up for fiscal oversight by faculty members and the board of Student Media, (who is comprised of WU faculty and students), staffers of The Review and AirBods have takena 10 per-cent pay cut from their semester salaries.

Despite having reached an agreement between yearbook staffers and the faculty advisor about not getting paid until pag-es had been submitted, staffers for the KAW ended up getting paid anyway. People who have worked hard all semester, who have been meeting deadlines and putting out product agreed to pay cuts, but when it comes to taking

the money from KAW, the work-ers were paid their salaries.

The Review workers, as well as members for the AirBods team, feel incredibly slighted. We feel like the KAW yearbook has misused money that comes from students, have slacked off important deadlines and blew off signed contracts that state that they should be working and give explicit repercussions should deadlines not be met. What’s more is we have been told by our faculty advisor that there is noth-ing we can do. To get the book done, this is the only way.

In addition to all this we have asked that we get that 10 percent put back into our salaries since the KAW editor in chief quit, but our advisor says that we can just work on the yearbook if

we want to get extra money. The thing is, many of the workers for The Review have already put in work for the yearbook - pictures and stories have been used from The Review for use of the book.

We understand there is noth-ing that can be done, but we aren’t happy with the way it’s turned out.

So despite having budget cuts another deadline has been met and here is your weekly paper. We can do work, we can meet deadlines and we use the money that has been trusted to us by students, properly. So here’s another paper and next week will be our last for the year. Pick it up, read it and let us know what you think about it. That’s all we can do, right?

The Review speaks out about money problems

Washburn ReviewWASHBURN REVIEW

Tricia Peterson, [email protected], is a senior mass media major.

Recently, The Equality House has caused a lot of com-motion in Topeka, and for a good reason.

Located across the street from one of the most hate-ful churches in the world, the house has become a symbol of peace, equality and community in a short period of time.

I have lived in or near To-peka for my entire life, (though I lived in Arizona for a year), and this is the most positive reaction to the Phelps and their hatred that I have ever seen. And believe me, I have seen many people retaliate and have myself, on occasion, screamed out at the picketers

for them to “go back to school, and get a life!” among other not-so-nice comments. Every time this happens all we are doing is fighting hate with hate and I have longed for a way to fight hate with love. The Equality House is the perfect answer for this long-ing, and I think many Topekans could agree.

For those of us that have lived in this city and traveled to others, we know that people tend to group everyone that lives in Topeka with the Phelps and their lifestyle views. I have personally changed the minds of many Ari-zonians in my short time I lived there. I have had people ask me if I “was one of those fag-hat-ers,” and I was appalled. At first I was angry that I was lumped into this group I detested, but I had to remind myself that people didn’t know any better and they had never been here. Many times I have had to express my own beliefs and then explain what the Westboro Baptist Church is and that it’s just a small group of peo-ple in the town who feel this way.

Now, I feel like the rainbow house speaks for us. It is a way to show the nation that Topeka isn’t full of bigots we are not all a part of the WBC. We want to fight

for equality, community and em-powerment.

The house isn’t only a sym-bol it’s a working non-profit or-ganization called Planting Peace and the rainbow house isn’t its only endeavor. By visiting their website, plantingPeace.org you can see that they have tree plant-ing programs, tropical rainfor-est preservation, sponsoring for orphans and orphanages among many other things. They have also gotten involved locally in Topeka with ArtsConnect and Women’s Empowerment Group, to name a couple.

The house even has a wel-come sign on the lawn inviting people to take pictures or come talk to the owners. Every time I drive by, there are people stand-ing out front or driving by taking pictures. I have become obsessed with following them because for years I have wanted to find a positive way to fight the neg-ative vibes. If you’ve ever read The Big Orange Splotch you will know what I mean when I say I hope this trend continues down the block. Wouldn’t that be somethin’?

Hey everyone. This will be a pretty short one because we ar-rive in Takoradi, Ghana tomorrow morning and I am running pretty low on energy so I want to be sure to get a good night of sleep.

I got back from my home stay around 10:30 a.m. on the fourth morning we were in South Africa. Kaitlyn and I had reserved most of the rest of that day to do some shop-ping, so after we showered and had a quick lunch on the ship we headed out to find a taxi that would take us to Green Market Square. Our taxi driver told us that actually wasn’t the best place to go, so we listened to his advice and let him take us to a place where a lot of the locals shop. It was actually closer to the ship than the market we were planning on going to. On the way there, we passed Hillsong Church and he told us about the Good Friday services they were having there the next morning. Neither of us had really thought about the fact that the next day was Good Friday, but we de-cided we really wanted to go.

After doing a little bit of shop-ping, our driver took us back down to the Waterfront where we found some WiFi to do some research for classes (yep, we had to do that) and call our families. Then we found a place for dinner and called it an early night so we could head back to the ship and see if we could find anyone that wanted to go to church with us in the morning.

We found a couple of other girls to come along, so we woke up

early and went to the 8 a.m. service. I had an amazing, life-changing ex-perience there that morning and I just want to say thank you so much to everyone that has been praying for me and supporting me.

After church, I went with my friends Kaitlyn and Cali to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner for 18 of his 27 years behind bars during the apartheid. We had to take a 45 minute ferry ride out to the island. You would think that after being on a ship for three months, I would be used to rocking in the waves a little bit. In my defense, this was much smaller than our big ship. It was like Hawaii to Japan all over again. The waves were awful. I was not feeling too well by the end of it and was re-ally happy when we arrived on the island. They actually cancelled the rest of the tours after ours because of how bad the waves were.

Our tour guide had actually been a prisoner there himself for several years during the apartheid. He first took us on a walking tour of the prison and then on a bus tour of the island where we got to see the houses the prison workers used to live in, the school used for the chil-dren of the warden and the guards and a couple of old churches on the island. The school is no longer running, but current Robben Island staff members and their families live in the homes.

After our very rocky trip back to the Waterfront, I met up with my friends Gabby and Kaitlyn to go to Two Oceans Aquarium. I love aquariums. It wasn’t a very big one, but it was still a lot of fun and I got to see penguins. It closed at six and we got there a little before five, but still had plenty of time to go through it all.

After the aquarium, I headed

back to the ship to get ready for the program I signed up for, “Evening Cape Town Jazz Safari.” I was re-ally excited.

There were about 15 other people on the trip so it was a pretty small group, but I have found that I actually enjoy trips more when there are less people. We took a short 20 minute drive to one of the townships where we were warmly welcomed into a home and treated to a wonderful dinner and a jazz performance by several local mu-sicians. They were incredible. It was great to relax and enjoy dinner while being in the company of such amazing and talented musicians. I bought their CD before we left.

I’ve discovered that I really love African music. I bought sever-al different CD’s over the course of our 6 days there and plan on getting more when I get back to the states.

We were supposed to continue

our evening at a Jazz Club called the Mahogany Room. However, when we arrived we realized there had been a miscommunication with our reservations so there were no seats for us. That was pretty disap-pointing, but at least the first part of the trip was fantastic.

On the last day, I decided to stay on the ship to catch up on some sleep, journal, and reflect on all of the experiences I had in South Af-rica. It’s hard to find alone time on the ship so I like to take advantage of it sometimes. I had the most in-credible time in South Africa and I know I’ll be back again someday. I don’t know how or when, but I know I will. It is such an amazing place.

We had six days on the ship between South Africa and Ghana. The end of the voyage is starting to come up really quickly and I have a lot of work to do in my classes for final projects and exams. I will probably have to spend a couple of nights in port on the ship studying because I have three finals right af-ter Ghana. It can be pretty stressful at times. It’s hard to believe that the voyage is coming to an end so soon. After Ghana, we have one more stop in Morocco before debarking in Spain. It has gone by way too quickly.

Tomorrow I have a field lab with my music cultures class. We are going to a drumming and dance workshop. I can’t wait.

Steven Spielberg had a huge 1993, between the awesome spectacle and box office bonanza that was “Jurassic Park,” and the destined for Oscar gold, emotionally power-ful “Schindler’s List.” One of these films would make a great candidate for 3D conversion, and one has Nazis.

It was no surprise that “Jurassic Park” was given the go ahead. Spielberg himself has admitted that he really has no desire to see any of his “classic” directed films get the treat-ment (so no rolling boulder from Raiders in 3D) but that he did feel “Jurassic Park” was the one excep-tion. And while I breathe

a sigh of relief since I do NOT want to see “Jaws,” “Close Encounters” or the “Indiana Jones” movies get 3D paint jobs, I was very curious about Jurassic Park, as I agree with Spiel-berg’s sentiment that this is definitely one film that felt right for it.

3D still holds an in-teresting stigma for me. Part of me knows that it’s a gimmick. A very lucra-tive (from the studio stand-point) gimmick, but still a gimmick none-the-less, on par with a flea circus. It’s poke you in the eye fun, but not cinema. Now I like to be poked in the eye every now and then, so I do partake, but I also usually try to reserve these forays into films that re-ally warrant it. “Avatar” and “The Hobbit,” having

been shot in 3D were fantastic. “Star Wars: Episode I: The Phan-tom Menace” was a disappointment, as the slapping on of 3D effects seemed very haphazard. (And REALLY? I mean, 3D was prac-tically INVENTED for Star Wars. These are movies that ab-solutely should be phenomenal in the format. C’mon guys, get it right!) Yes, I went and saw “Ti-tanic” up-converted, which was done very well, “Clash Of The Titans” was NOT.

So “Jurassic Park” held both fascination and worry for me.

I am pleased to say that it holds up very well not only as a 3D convert,

but also as a 20-year old movie.

The story, based on Michael Crichton’s best selling novel, deals with an amusement park with genetically engineered di-nosaurs getting loose and wreaking havoc on a re-

mote island. The film stars Sam Neil, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern as an in-trepid group of scientists who arrive to put a stamp of approval on the park, and instead fight to survive its deadly wonders.

The 3D conversion was done with care. I was amazed the opening pieces of the film look as good as they do, individual trees pop and stand out against the background and the whole film has a definite feel of depth to it, not so much poke you in the eye, but real immersion. I admit to losing that sensation lat-er in the film, which could have been a result of get-ting lazy with all those complicated special FX, or just that I got wrapped up in the story all over again and forgot to be looking

for things that popped.It was amazing to see

the film on the big screen again (yes, I’m old enough to remember seeing it in theaters upon first re-lease) and a lot of fun to watch the audience react to laughs and surprises we knew were coming. We all laughed at the “if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don’t eat the tourists” joke, and all jumped at the ve-lociraptors in the kitchen. Those moments are all here, all preserved.

Unless of course, you’re one of those unfor-tunates that has never seen Jurassic Park, in which case… what are you wait-ing for?

Game flaws outweigh the benefits

“Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity” is the most recent entry in the Pokemon Mystery Dun-geon series of role playing games.

In this series rather than playing as a Pokemon train-er, a character who catches and trains Pokemon, you play as a Pokemon. You and your partner Pokemon then form a rescue team dedicated to beating evil Pokemon, reclaiming lost items and rescuing helpless Pokemon from the world’s randomly generated Mys-tery Dungeons.

As I played through “Gates to Infinity,” I inevi-tably began comparing it to its predecessor, “Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explor-ers of Sky.” While “Gates

to Infinity” does have a few changes that aren’t too bad, on the whole the things that were removed or changed between “Explorers of Sky” and “Gates to Infini-ty” really weigh the game down.

In “Explorers of Sky,” and all the other previous Pokemon Mystery Dun-geon games, the player would take a brief person-ality quiz at the start of the game that would determine which species of Pokemon they were. This really made me feel like I was meant to be that Pokemon. “Gates to Infinity” does away with this entirely and just has the player pick from a list of Pokemon. Additionally, In “Explorers of Sky” you had 19 Pokemon you could end up playing as, while “Gates to Infinity” only has five.

Continuing with my complaints about the player

Pokemon, in “Explorers of Sky,” the player’s Pokemon was usually mute, with the partner doing most of the talking. This let me identify with the player Pokemon, as I could project myself onto this blank slate of a character. In “Gates to In-finity,” the player Pokemon can talk, which in itself isn’t really bad, it’s just off-put-ting when I’ll be thinking one thing and the character will say something com-pletely different.

Another problem I had was that the Pokemon char-acters never stop talking, every time you go to a shop they have two or three screens of unnecessary blathering before you actu-ally get to the shop menu, and with a text speed that’s so slow that I have a welt on my thumb from holding the speed-up button, that gets real annoying, fast.

While there are exceptions, like the Scottish Herdier, or the ever energetic Emolga, I usually just don’t care what the characters have to say, as I don’t care about the characters themselves.

The most infuriating part about the cutscenes is the rampant overuse of flashbacks. I kid you not, more than once a cutscene flashed back to something that happened literally less than ten minutes before.

The gameplay itself stands up well enough, though there is the occa-sional unfair death, whether it’s brought on by enemies, or stupid AI partners. But there is an inherent flaw in the structure of the mis-sions that occur in the Mys-tery Dungeons.

The Mystery Dun-geons themselves are bro-ken up into floors, with stairs leading to each new

floor, for a total of between five and 15 floors. Only one mission can occur per floor, but multiple missions can occur per Dungeon. The problem with this is that once you’ve complet-ed a mission, you can’t do any more in that trip to the Dungeon. This is infuriat-ing, as previous games in the series let you take on as many missions per trip to a Dungeon as you want-ed, allowing you to receive a plethora of rewards for completing the missions. In “Gates to Infinity,” you’ll be lucky if you get four re-wards per Dungeon.

My final problem with this game was its story. There’s a startling lack of major conflict until you’re around two-thirds of the way through the game, and towards the end there’s a plot twist simply for the sake of having a plot twist.

When this game’s story is compared to its prede-cessors, it falls drastical-ly short, especially when compared to “Explorers of Sky,” which managed to implement a time-trav-el plot without it feeling forced and did plot twists right.

Overall, “Gates to In-finity” is not what I hoped it would be. The battle system is meh, the story is barely there, the mission structure’s atrocious and there are very few likeable characters. If you’re really wanting a Mystery Dun-geon fix, save your money and replay “Explorers of Sky.”

I expected better of you, Nintendo.

Recently I went to see the horror film “Evil Dead.”

This movie did a good job in intensifying the fear for the audience. It is everything a hor-ror movie should be. It has some predictability, but it also has scenes that I did not see coming.

The movie follows the char-acter of Mia, played by Jane Levy. She is at a cabin with her friends and brother where they have her take a pledge to get off drugs. While there, they discover an old cellar where they find the Book of the Dead. When Eric,

played by Lou Taylor Pucci, reads a phrase from it, things get much worse because he re-leases an evil demon and it gets crazy from there. I do not want to say any-more, because it will give away the movie.

One thing that struck me was the cinema-tography. This was evident in different scenes throughout the movie. In one scene, it was pitch black and as the possessed character was

coming forward, the light would focus on one spot of the face. This was great, be-cause it gave me that creepy feel-ing and made me feel like I was there. Another scene I enjoyed was an overhead view of the tree line near the beginning of the movie which started upside down. This scene gave me a feel-ing of hovering and it was some-what distorting to me, because I felt like I was actually upside down for those shots.

The actors played their parts well to make the situation believ-able, which gave a sense of seri-ousness to the movie. The great thing about the actors was they

were not known actors. Having too many known actors can make the movie lack substance.

Along with the actors, the music for the movie had my adrenaline going. It wasn’t fear though, it was simply my en-joyment of horror movie music, which in my opinion can make or break the movie.

The sound effects were amazing. I liked how at certain moments the movie had an air siren that would sound off and instantly I knew that this scene was about to get crazy.

I won’t say too much about the different ways the direc-tor, Fede Alvarez, portrayed the death scenes in this movie, but they were amazing because he went to the extreme and did not have cheesy gore scenes.

“Evil Dead” is a movie that made me remember why horror movies are one of my favorite genres. The one recommenda-tion I have is to not bring anyone under the age of 18. It also is not for someone who does not like horror movies.

Fans of the old “Evil Dead” movies will enjoy this movie as much as I did, but don’t just take my word for it.

‘Electra’ plays again this weekend

Brian CervantezWASHBURN REVIEW

This weekend, I went to the premiere of “Electra,” the theatre department’s fourth play of the year.

Ten years after witnessing her mother, Queen Clytemnestra, and lover, Aegisthus murdering King Agamemnon’s, Electra’s father, Electra’s desire for revenge leads her to desire bloody action.

Overall the play was fantastic. The acting was great. Electra, played by Samantha Heath, had great expressions and mannerisms.

The stage, though very minimalistic, was set outside the house and did not draw away from the acting. The set had a ‘less is more’ aspect to it.

The only criticism I have is the costumes. They threw me off and it took me awhile to get beyond the oddity of the costumes and get into the fictive world of the play. I did not understand why the charac-ters would be wearing such ‘fancy,’ prom-like clothes in the morning before the sun had risen as the setting of the play.

The costume of Clytemnestra, the mother of Electra played by Arissa Utemark, though my favorite character wore my least favorite costume. Wearing a full body nude leotard with a baby blue tunic that only covered the front and back with a very large tribal looking necklace.

Also, some of the accessories the characters were wearing were out of this world. Electra’s duct tape color, Chrysothemis’ (Lexi Lem-ons) Chinese style umbrella and Clytemnestra’s necklace are just a couple of examples.

If you would like to see Electra, you can go see it Friday or Satur-day, April 26 & 27 at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. April 28. The play is free to Washburn students with a Washburn ID and $8.00 to the general public.

The No. 38-ranked-Washburn Ichabod tennis snuck into the NCAA Di-vision II Men’s Regional Tournament as an at-large pick.

Washburn is coming off of a third place finish in the MIAA Tournament after defeating the No. 49-ranked University of Nebraska-Kearney 5-2. The Bods were knocked out of the championship

match after losing to the No. 39-ranked South-west Baptist Bearcats 5-4. The Ichabods (13-7, 5-1 MIAA) were unable to get an automatic qualifying bid since they didn’t win the MIAA tournament, but

they managed to snag an at-large spot.

The No. 3-seed-ed Bods will travel to Maryville, Mo., to square off with No. 2-seeded Northwest Missouri State University. The winner

will advance to the Nation-al Tournament in Surprise, Ariz. May 8-11.

The Bearcats of North-west Missouri got the best of the Bods in their only match this season. North-west Missouri defeated

Washburn 5-2 on April 10 in St. Joseph, Mo.

Weather reared its ugly head again, this time causing the final day of the MIAA Golf Championships at Paradise Golf Course in Smithville, Mo., to be canceled.

The mix of rain, sleet and snow caused MIAA officials to cancel the last day of play. The tournament was able to get in two rounds of play, which became the final rankings leaving Washburn sitting in fourth place out of twelve teams.

The Ichabods were led by newly named MIAA Freshman of the Year Trey Siegel who shot a 2-over par. He shot a 73 in both rounds for a score of 146,

placing him in eighth place overall for the tournament. Siegel has finished in the top five three times, while cracking the top 10 on six different occasions.

Fellow freshman Ronnie McHenry tied for 17th after shooting a 149 in his two rounds of play. McHenry shot a 74 in his first round and then had a 75 in his second and final round. Siegel and McHenry have been the most consistent golfers for the Ichabods this season.

Redshirt freshman Max Lazzo saw his first action of the season, stepping in for senior Sam Schulte. Lazzo tied for 24 place after going even-par. His first round score of 72 landed him tied for seventh, but he fell in the

rankings after shooting a 79 in his second 18 holes.

Seniors Brian Walker and Nathan Hoefflin played in what could be their last tournament as Ichabods. The duo tied for 28 after both carded a 10-over par. Walker started off behind, shooting a 78 in his first 18 holes. He was able to shave off four strokes in the second round. H o e f f l i n s t a r t e d o f f

2-over par with a 74 before carding a 78 in his second attempt.

Central Oklahoma came away with

the title, going 8-under par

as a team. Washburn f i n i s hed 25 points b e h i n d t h e Bronchos and just

two spots away from

third place Lindenwood University.

C e n t r a l O k l a h o m a a l s o cleaned up individually with three

players earning All-MIAA honors, including MIAA Player of the Year Dillon Rust. Rust went on to win the MIAA tournament going 7-under par while two of his teammates claimed the second and third spots. The Mules of Central Missouri, who finished second in the MIAA tournament, also faired well individually. They placed four golfers on the All-MIAA team.

The talented Siegel finished third in the All-MIAA standings with 42.5 points, 6.5 points behind Rust. Schulte was the only other Bod besides Siegel to make the All-MIAA team. Schulte’s 15 points in the designated conference events earned him the 12 spot in the conference

despite missing the MIAA Golf Championships.

Washburn will have to wait till next week to see what their fate is for the NCAA Division II tournament. The Ichabods are sitting in the third spot, behind Central Oklahoma and Southwestern Oklahoma in the Central Region.

If the Ichabods stay in the rankings, they will get to travel to Kenosha, Wisc., for the NCAA Central/Midwest Super Regional at the Strawberry Creek Golf Club.

For the second time in my life I saw something that stunned me; a terrorist attack that left Americans in disarray and baffled.

To this day I cannot forget everything that hap-pened on that fateful day in September of 2001. Now there is a new day that will forever be engraved in my memory, the day small explosives sent shrapnel fleeing like rockets into spectators while the blasts knocked runners off their feet.

The Boston Marathon bombings have been the topic for the past week rightfully so and most peo-ple are ready to move on, but it is still hard to fath-om.

Since their inception

sports have always been a chance to get away, a chance for people to be en-tertained. The Greeks used the Olympics to celebrate their religion and show off their masculinity. The Romans captivated spec-tators by pitting gladiators against each other, or even against lions. The idea was to show off the wonders of the human body and to provide entertainment to the populus. Although the sports have changed the basic principles still re-main.

On April 15, two bombs exploded at the finish line of one of the world’s premiere events, the Boston Marathon. At-tacks like these at a sport-ing event are not unfamil-iar. Eleven members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventu-

ally murdered during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. But most of today’s gener-ation is too young to recall that incident or weren’t even born yet.

What makes the Bos-ton Marathon so surreal was that it took place in our backyard. Nothing sends a wake up call bet-ter then having loved ones brutually killed or have their limbs torn off. Yet, during thar frightening time people came to geth-er, just like they did almost 12 years ago.

Runners and spec-tators not hurt by the ex-plosion rushed to the in-jured, providing whatever medical care they could. There was no political ar-gument over what to do. Nobody focused on their sexual orientation nor was

gun control the problem at hand. All those issues were put on the backburner. For the time being all that mat-tered was trying to save those who were savage-ly attacked. America was once again united with two causes at hand: save their fellow citizens and find those responsible for.

Sporting events were suspended in the Boston area as people tried to find the culprits. The whole city of Boston closed down un-til this past weekend, when America was able to find some closure with the capture of both of the sus-pects. With them no longer on the streets, sports were allowed to continue.

Teams all across the nation showed their suport with banners, stickers or patches commerating those tragically injured or killed.

The New York Yankees even played the famous “Sweet Caroline,” the song traditionally played by their arch rivals the Bos-ton Red Sox. The singer of “Sweet Caroline,” Neil Diamond, even visited Boston to perform his song during one of their games. The whole city of Boston flocked to Fenway Park to see their beloved Red Sox when things seemed like they couldn’t get any worse. The American flag became even more preva-lent in stadiums and gyms everywhere.

Sports once again be-came an outlet for those devestated by the attack, even though it happened during a sporting event.

Life will continue to move on. Americans will continue to disagree over politics and the Boston

Marathon will be just an-other event in history. But for at least a week Ameri-cans came together, putting their differences aside. For the second time in my life I got to witness how sports can bring people together across the nation, giving them something to cherish.

The American way of life is similar to running a marathon. There will be pain. There will be times a sense of never seeing suc-cess. There will be times we want to quit. But we always find a way to cross the finish line.

The weather this spring has not been kind to the Washburn softball team.

The Lady Blues have spent a good chunk of their 2013 season cooped up in the confines of the Petro Allied Health Build-ing because of snow and rain. The poor conditions already cost the Blues two games earlier this sea-son. Two of Washburn’s games at the Southeastern Oklahoma State Tourna-ment, against Ouachita Baptist University and the University of Arkansas at Monticello, were canceled because of rain. Now the Lady Blues might have another doubleheader can-celed because of an unusu-al snow storm that hit the midwest.

Washburn’s double-header with Southwest

Baptist schedule for April 23 was pushed back a day

because of rain. But snow started falling April 23

the doubleheader to get pushed back another day.

Washburn (9-31, 5-17 MIAA) is trying to break

a 11-game losing streak against Southwest Baptist (4-42, 0-22 MIAA), anoth-er team in desperate need of a win. Southwest Bap-tist has not won in their last 36 games. Both teams find themselves at the bottom of the conference with Washburn No. 14 and Southwest Baptist sitting dead last at No. 15.

The Lady Blues last victory took place on April 6 when they won the first game of their doublehead-er with Pittsburg State University. The Blues have a shot to get six more victories, giving them a chance to hit double digits in the win column. Their season rounds out with doubleheaders against Tru-man State on April 26 and Lindenwood on April 27.
