Regina Marie Budden WASHBURN REVIEW Family, work, class, student organizations, professional organizations, more work, homework, crash, wakeupanddoitallagain.

That has been my schedule for the last few years ever since I got to college. I’ve been using my low wages to pay for a string of tiny apartments and unhealthy groceries as I push myself through the university system.

Now, it’s going to stop.

That’s right, next Saturday, I graduate and join the prestigious group of Washburn alumni...as well as joining the unemployment statistics, at least for a few months. I’m terrified. I keep waking up and worrying what it will

be like to not have a bi-weekly paycheck. What if I move in with my parents again? What if I fail epically and can’t afford to pay back my student loans?

Then I calm down, drink some water and remember that I won’t have time to worry about that until finals are over and I can devote a substantial amount of time to my mounting panic attack.

The thing is, even with my impending poverty looming over me, I don’t have the time to confront it. Professors always caution that in the real world, people have to learn to juggle a million different tasks at once. The truth is, while you may have to juggle a million different things, you will be paid for it and those tasks will be related. No longer will you have to figure out how to switch from algebra homework to writing your essay on the rise of Communism all in the two hours between your classes and your second job.

I mean, let’s face it, GenY and the Millennial generation are constantly criticized for our emphasis on multitasking. But, with the daunting tasks mentioned previously, how does one NOT multitask? The demand on our

time is not realistic. I attended a banquet last week where Kerrice Mapes, a recent Washburn grad, spoke about how, after embarking into the real world with a 9-5 job, she began two magazines in her spare time because she didn’t have enough to do.

Granted, Mapes is a bit of an overachiever. However, that says a lot about the lives we are expected to lead in college. The hustle and bustle is unrealistic.

There is hope for me yet. Looking past the unemployment period, I see myself working 8-5, five days a week, and then going home, cleaning the house, and reading a book (do you remember reading for fun? I miss it).

So, as this is my final column, I must say that although I’ll miss the college lifestyle, and I’ll certainly miss this newspaper, I’m going to leave with no regrets. College is hard if you do it right, and if I made it through this year... well, real world, bring it on.

Seizures + finals= unsuccessful week

Richard Kelly WASHBURN REVIEW I fell to the ground, only to be caught at the last moment before I struck it full force: This is how I finished my finals week for the fall 2009 semester.

Sitting in Basic Media Writing class, with Lisa CobleKrings, I was expected to take part in a group presentation in class. I was in the mass media lab

in the basement of the Henderson Learning Resource Center. It was Dec. 10, a Thursday, and it was my last final of the semester. Appropriately, I was breathing a sigh of relief.

However, between the anxiety of public speaking and apparently not enough sighing of relief, I began to feel interesting symptoms. As I sat, preparing to present our mock product we’d created, complete with an advertisement for it, I started to worry.

With a racing heart, panicking thoughts and an odd sense of déjà vu, I passed out.

I woke up to the sounds of my name being called and worried looks of my classmates. A paramedic stood over the top of me. Frightened, I asked “what happened? Is everyone okay?” I was oblivious I was what everyone was so concerned about.

Described by my classmates,

C A M E R O N‘ S

I had fallen and been caught at the last moment, only to be laid on the ground as I convulsed. My symptoms apparently included drooling as well. I was so shocked to hear this news, but was quick to ward off the paramedics. I thought I was fine and could go through my presentation.

I did. I made it through quite diligently and with my nerves subsided; I was done with finals for the fall semester.

But I wasn’t done with seizures. The next day, I was admitted to the hospital after having two more seizures. However, these were different from the previous day’s seizure. I had the same prior sensations but following them, I had drooled, talked and sat blank-faced but had no convulsions.

To also clarify, I remember nothing in between the sensations prior to a seizure and the

attempts to recall them afterwards. I had them every single day for the next month. Usually they were small seizures, known as petit mal, but there were also a few larger seizures, known as grand mal.

I found out later that I had been having them for some time before the Dec. 10 seizure and had just never known because I couldn’t remember.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering ‘why are you telling me all of this?’ Answering that as succinct as possible, the neurologists informed me that much of my problem was overworking myself, not sleeping enough and was far too stressed for my own good and this is something most of us deal with during finals.

Have you ever just felt so drained during the last few weeks of the year that you feel a little worried by how unhealthy

your lifestyle may be? Looking back, I know that my stress and time management was terrible.

I’d never much considered that before.

Now, you’re in the middle of “Success Week,” meaning you’re probably experiencing “Stress Week.” Watch yourself. Truly, I mean it. I spent six months without a license, mostly due to a lack of managing stress. I found out that a neurological condition sat dormant until stress induced the seizures, but still, don’t risk it.

It’s a problem easily avoided. Just breathe, remember to get sleep and actually eat some food that doesn’t come from a vending machine or the Corner Store.

It’ll all be okay.

Day of transformation displays student projects Brian Dulle WASHBURN REVIEW

For most college students, college is a truly transformational experience. A few Washburn students recently had a chance to exhibit those experiences.

Last Friday, about 20 Washburn students presented their Washburn Transformational Experience for the Day of Transformation at the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center. For the WTE, a student can choose between four different categories which are leadership, scholarly/ creative, community service and studying abroad.

International travel Washburn student Kat Conoley had the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam, France, Switzerland, Austria and then the city of Maastricht in Netherlands. She was also able to make several weekend trips to places such as London and Paris.

“I’m an anthropology major and I want to be an archeologist and the city of Maastricht is actually founded on the ruins of a Roman city which was a large part of why I wanted to go to Maastricht specifically,” said Conoley Conoley said that her interest in studying abroad did not flourish until she was placed with a roommate in the Washburn Village who was from Austria and was studying abroad at Washburn.

“We became good friends and she said that I should come visit her and study at her university and it inspired me to want to study abroad,” said Conoley.

“I spent the next year and a half talking to the business department about studying abroad, saving money, finding out information and when I was told you could do a WTE it was a good stepping stone to help me get there.”

Conoley said that it was the greatest thing that has happened in her life and the best decision she has ever made.

“I’ve grown so much and learned so much, I have made new friends and it really helped me figure out what I wanted to do and what kind of person I wanted to be and how to get there,” said Conoley.

ning on using the free store as her WTE. “It wasn’t until Rick Ellis [WTE community services director] told me that I should use the free store as my WTE that I actually thought about it,” said Elliott.

Going back to give back Washburn student Chris Seele’s project was titled “Going Back to Give Back” and went back to his hometown of Rossville, Kan. to help volunteer at a baseball diamond as an umpire and help out with children with developmental disabilities.

“Growing up I played some baseball and went to grade school there and I thought it would be a great idea to go back and help fix things up,” said Seele Seele said umpiring was a unique experience umpiring because he had never done it before.

“People always assume it’s easy but, oh man, some of those parents were horrible,” said Seele.

Seele said when he first started working on his project it was required to do a WTE to graduate. But when he was halfway finished, he was told he did

not have to do it anymore.

“I had so much fun doing it I wanted to finish it up,” said Seele. “You learn a lot, especially working with mentally handicapped kids, you have to explain more to them and also you can’t expect them to get it the first time so it has helped me with patience and explaining things to them.”

All four WTE’s Washburn student Erica Koepsel took the opportunity to complete all four sections of the WTE. Through the Bonner Scholars Program she was able to do the community service project. Through the Leadership Institute, she completed the leadership section. Through her psychology major, she was able to do the scholarly and creative section and this past fall semester she travelled to Nicaragua.

“It was a lot different than I expected, I thought it would be more of a service-oriented trip but it was actually more of a culture emergence trip,” said Koepsel. “We did a lot of learning about some of the opportunities they have for community members, a lot about the revolution and how that changed it and our involvement in the revolution so that was a lot of an historical part.”

Koepsel and her group went to the rural part of Nicaragua and lived with a family for four days with no electricity, no running water and the family cooked for them.

“We had trouble talking to them because I am not fluent in Spanish by any means,” said Koepsel. “We spent a couple of days out on an island in the middle of a lake, climbed a volcano and it was really just a huge adventure in general but a lot of learning about the culture.”

Koepsel always knew she wanted to study abroad.

“This was a great opportunity to do something different and travel to a country that most would not think to travel such as Europe,” said Koepsel. “It was a trip you could certainly make a difference with.”

This late in the game, some may wonder if they can still register to participate in the graduation ceremony. The answer is yes, however they must contact the auditors ASAP at audits@washburn.edu or in the office of the registrar. Additionally, buying the cap and gown late will incur extra costs because of expedited shipping, and their names will not be in the program.

What to wear

cutoffs and a tank top would be equally tacky if the graduate is dressed for a cocktail. Above all, attendees should remember that it is a day for the graduate, so upstaging or embarrassing outfits should stay in the closet.

Ceremony etiquette One’s gown will most likely cover most of what he or she is wearing. However, it is still important to dress to the occasion. Granted, graduation means different things to different people, and apparel may range from cocktail dresses to khakis with a polo.

What a graduate chooses to wear should reflect the importance of the event, but not be uncomfort-

able. For instance, women should remember that, if they plan to be on their feet post-ceremony, high heels may be a bad choice. Additionally, although there is no law against jeans and a T-shirt under the gown, graduates who choose this casual option may lead other participants to wonder why they showed up at all.

Magic smother Piasa in debut Richard Kelly WASHBURN REVIEW

A slow start gave way to a strong finish on Saturday for the Kansas Magic’s exhibition match.

Maybe the more important story was how Saturday’s game may affect the indoor soccer team coming to the Kansas Expocentre permanently.

With an estimated attendance of 1,500 to 1,900 fans, the Magic took to the field in an exhibition game against the Illinois Piasa, winning 7-3.

B.J. Latas, Magic owner, said despite wanting 4,000 fans and coming up short, he was overall happy with Saturday’s outcome.

“I’m satisfied. It was a good game,” said Latas. “I know we can get more people here, we just need time to do it. We have a great team and we just want to showcase professional talent here in Topeka.”

Despite scoring just once in the first quarter and three times in the half, Nick Garcia, a former Major League Soccer player, thought the Magic came out with good tempo.

“I thought our start was fantastic,” said Garcia. “Obviously we didn’t have a few extra goals like we could’ve and should’ve had but we stood strong and per-

severed here at the end.”

In the second half, Kansas never surrendered the lead despite Illinois clawing within one goal before Kansas struck for three straight goals to finish the contest. Kansas had five different goal scorers, with Klaus registering two.

While effort had much to do with its victory, fans also maintained involvement throughout the contest.

“It was great to see a lot of people out here cheering,” said Randall Porter, Magic coach.

“I think that helped us, as well.

We’re very excited about the future possibilities based on tonight’s attendance and the way we played.”

Porter also knows that the opportunity to house a team in Topeka isn’t definite, but he hopes Saturday was a step in the right direction.

“It’s out of my hands what happens,” said Porter. “But I hope that tonight showed we play exciting, good soccer and people will come out and watch. What happens in the future is out of my hands. I hope we’re here but it’s for someone else to answer, not me.”

“We came back, but we just didn’t quite get it done. To me it’s kind of a flop of days. We took advantage of our opportunities on Friday, and they took advantage of their opportunities on Saturday.”

Junior outfielder Marcus Peavler scored the first run against Emporia on an RBI double from Andy Petz and is quick to praise his fellow teammates.

“I played pretty good Friday, but everybody really did,” said Peavler. “That’s probably why we won, because everybody played well, offensive and defense. We had a lot of big hits.

After a doubleheader at Fort Hays State University on May 3, the Ichabods come home to close the season in a four-game series against Pittsburg State University on May 7 and 8.

Key Nutrition unlocks personal health planning Michelle Boltz WASHBURN REVIEW Washburn alumni Taneshia and Carl Horton opened Key Nutrition on January 17, 2011. They provide a plethora of services for nutrition, diet, and physical wellness.

Wellness coaches, a nutrition club, Herbalite herbal teas, protein shakes, and supplements are a few of the options for visitors looking to benefit their health.

Key Nutrition recently took part in Washburn’s Wellness Fair in 2010, and received a lot of interest, as well as gaining other opportunities in other wellness fairs in the community.

“Our business is steady, and increases weekly,” said Horton.

Key Nutrition was one of the sponsors of the 5K on April 30 at the Washburn Law Building.

Key Nutrition will also be in the Prairie Band Health Fair on May 25 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

WATUP hosts a party Michelle Boltz WASHBURN REVIEW

Washburn artists throw a great party. Semiannually, the Washburn Art Team of United Potters host a throwing party held in the ceramics room, located inside the Art building. The throwing party took place on April 29 from 4-8 p.m. Refreshments were provided, and the event was free and open to the public. This was WATUP’s third semester of hosting throwing nights, and has been with great success.

“We have a pretty steady flow of people, a smaller group has more individualized attention,” said Kris Roberts, member of WATUP for three years.

During throwing night, participants have the opportunity to release their creative energy into creating their own unique piece, whether it is by coil method, or to give clay a spin on the potter’s wheel.

“One can combine techniques for their creations,” said Roberts.

Throughout the evening,

members of WATUP provide demonstrations and offer advice for those that want to give the potter’s wheel a whirl, or any questions participants have about ceramics.

The coil method is best used for making mugs, vases, bowls, or sculptures. Coils can be left in the general design, or can be smoothed out. Other patterns used are a basket-like weave, or rolled into little balls to create a pebble effect.

With any ceramics creation, it is important to keep the clay moist to prevent drying out.

When bringing the hands off the clay, it is advised to do so slowly so that the creation doesn’t collapse. “It’s better for it to be too thick than too thin, it can be cut down,” said Roberts.

WATUP’s next throwing night will take place in the fall.

Washburn currently offers two ceramics classes per semester, one in the day, and one for two nights a week.

have ongoing weight loss challenges,” said Horton.

“Our current one ends at the end of May, and will start another one in July. People usually get excited about losing weight in May and June, but tapers off in July and August. They like to keep consistent with their weight loss.”

Key Nutrition’s protein shakes range from 180-250 calories, and provides 15 grams of protein and energy. They have 50 recipes and the most popular flavors are blueberry muffin, white chocolate Reese’s, pina colada and Orange Julius.

The herbal teas are thermogenic, which means that with each 8-ounce glass consumed, a person could burn 80-100 calories from each serving. Their shake and tea combination, along with supplements, can help with weight loss. All shakes are vegetable and herb based, and can also be combined with soy or almond milk.

In May, Key Nutrition will

launch a new line of products called Herbalife 24, based on a seven-product line that is geared for athletes. Herbalife 24 is based on cellular nutrition science, and is all-natural. If a client is interested in becoming a distributor of Herbalife, the membership is $60, and would receive a 25 percent discount on products.

Another unique service that Key Nutrition provides to its clients is their grocery shopping service. To utilize this service, customers can e-mail groceryshop1620@gmail.com. Key Nutrition is located behind Tortilla Jack’s in the Campus Shopping Center at 1620 S.W. Washburn Ave. Beginning June 1, their extended hours will be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

They are closed on Sundays. For more information, stop by, or call (785) 215-8810. They also have a Facebook and Twitter page.

jazz, it could even be folk-rock.

“There is usually a large crowd when there is live music,” said Sandra Ready, Washburn sophomore art major, who is also an employee at the Classic Bean. “I think it is good because they usually have community donations, and local artists who come in.”

Ready also talked about how great it is to work at Classic Bean while she is attending Washburn University seeking her art degree.

“I definitely like it a lot,” said Ready. “The boss is great about working with my

school schedule.”

Tocher Lecture explores art, Christianity Michelle Boltz WASHBURN REVIEW

The 2011 Tocher Lecture will take place at at 7 p.m. May 5 at Grace Cathederal inside of the Cloister Gallery. This year’s featured artists will be Makoto Fujimara and Tian Lin. Fujimara will be hosting this year’s lecture. Fujimara is the founder of the International Arts Movement, which was formed in 1992.

The 2011 Tocher Lecture will be titled “Practicing Resurrection: Art and Life,” in which

Fujimara will explore how the cultivation and appreciation of fine art traditions inform Christian faith and practice.

Fujimara recently completed a project, “The Four Holy Gospels,” an illuminated edition of the first four books in the New Testament, and was published

by Crossway Books. This edition was released in honor of the 400th anniversary of the Authorized Version of the King James Bible. Fujimara is recognized worldwide as a cultural influencer by both faith-based and secular media. Fujimara’s aim

for this project was nothing less than to depict the greater reality that the Bible speaks of—for the pure sake of integrating faith and art in our current pluralistic multicultural world.

Tian Lin is a junior art major, currently studying at Washburn University.

“At the end of my study experience here, I’d like to give an art show to display my works, and be able to share my wonderful experience in the United States,” said Lin. Lin’s hometown is in Taizhou, China. She got her inspi-

ration for art while attending high school, and studied drawing, watercolor, and watercolor for three years. When Lin entered Zhejiang Normal University, she studied a number of media in art, including printmaking and Chinese art. Her favorite medium to use in art is oil painting.

“Here at Washburn, I am finding many more opportunities to study and appreciate more closely, the masters’ works in galleries and books,” said Lin. Lin will return to China in July 2011 to continue her stud-

ies in art.

Following the lecture will be a book signing by Fujimara, along with a reception. The Tocher Lecture is free, and is open to the public. The Grace Cathedral is located in the corner of 8th and Polk at 701 S.W. 8th Avenue.
