Washburn University celebrated National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Exchange, a student-run food pantry that provides assistance for Ichabods who are dealing with hunger issues.

“You can’t learn when you’re hungry and you can’t pay attention in class when you’re worn out from working,” said Kelsey Rose, senior psychology major, who was one of the driving forces behind the pantry.

Kathryn Nelson and Sara Escandon, took on the project as part of their Washburn Transformational Experience.

Rose said the idea was born two years ago during a conversation with friends and has been motivated to bring her vision to life after seeing how hunger affected those close to her.

“They were hungry, they were working full-time jobs and they were going to school,” said Rose.

“They were not last 20-somethings.

They challenged me to change my idea of what people in poverty look like.”

Rose and the others spent time

researching how hunger has impacted students in colleges across the country. Their findings revealed that student hunger was more widespread than they initially thought.

“Financial struggles are expected when going to college,” said Rose. ”But the discomfort of college students from the past five decades does not compare to the overworked and underfed students

that are trying to make themselves better today.”

To make sure The Exchange was fully stocked with food when the doors opened, the crew received a generous donation of over 4,000 food items from the Can Emporia food drive. The pantry also collected $700 from sponsors, which went toward the shelving on which the food sits.

“A lot of people and ideas came together to make this a reality,” said Rose.

The Exchange is open Mondays from 3-6 p.m. and Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. The pantry is open to all Washburn students and all donations are kept confidential.

10 year, 4 billion mile journey ends successfully, just as power fails Derek Richarson WASHBURN REVIEW

After a 10-year, nearly four billion mile journey, an unmanned spacecraft called Rosetta, carrying a 220-pounded lander dubbed Philae, caught up to comet 67P. The comet was described by the European Space Agency as looking like a rubber duck, rather than potato-shaped like most known asteroids. The comet has two distinct lobes, measures around 2.5 miles wide and has gravity 100,000 times weaker than Earth.

On Nov. 12, the Rosetta spacecraft released Philae for its descent to 67P’s surface. The lander was equipped with a small thruster to make sure that, when landing, it wouldn’t bounce in the weak gravity.

Shortly after 10 a.m. CST, Philae relayed the signal, which took 28 minutes to reach Earth at the speed of light, that it had touched the comet.

“Touchdown! My new address: 67P! #CometLanding,” tweeted Philae’s official Twitter, @Philae2014. The control room was filled with scientist and engineers,

washburnreview.org

some of whom had spent decades of their life working on this mission. They all leaped in the air with joy. There were cheers, crying and hugging all around. It was an historic day.

But then the signal showed that it was no longer on the comet. Engineers started looking at the data that was coming in. The thruster did not fire, and neither did the harpoons. Philae was in an uncontrolled bounce.

Unable to do anything but watch, the engineers could only wait. It would be another two hours before Philae would settle and hit the surface, only to bounce once again for another seven-minute hop.

“Maybe today, we didn’t just land once - we even landed twice,” said Stephan Ulamec, Philae lander manager.

The first images sent back by Philae were troublesome. Pictures showed the lander on a rocket with one of its three landing legs sticking up towards space. Making matters worse, it was in a shadowy spot, where the sun could not effectively charge the batteries.

“It’s amazing where we are,”

said Jean-Pierre Bibring, a Rosetta mission scientist. “We landed.

Please do not put the emphasis on the failure of the [landing] system.”

Philae had only about 67 hours of battery power, just enough for its primary mission. Scientist rushed for the next several days to get as much science out of it that they could.

Despite the glitches, the lander remained operational and sent back data that it gathered before power levels began to decline. “@ESA_Rosetta I’m feeling a bit tired, did you get all my data?

I might take a nap... #CometLanding,” tweeted Philae.

The mission yeilded a wealth of data for scientists and engineers around the world to chew on. It will likely rewrite textbooks in the years to come.

“The data collected by Philae and Rosetta is set to make this mission a game-changer in cometary science,” said Matt Taylor, ESA’s Rosetta project scientist.

Experience Success: Kristen Bricklemyer was one of several Ichabods to present at this week’s WTE showcase.

The Washburn Transformational Experience is a program designed to give Washburn students the opportunity to step outside of the classroom and create projects based on individual interests and goals.

Students shine at WTE showcase Derek Richardson

WASHBURN REVIEW

Each semester, Ichabods who take part in the Washburn Transformational Experience are given the opportunity to showcase their projects to students and faculty.

The WTE is a type of independent study for students to follow their passion in depth. It goes “beyond everyday classroom experience” and allows students to create projects that reflect their interests in at least one of four areas: community service, international education, leadership and scholarly or creative.

Projects this year ranged from volunteering to help the homeless, to researching doctor-nurse perceptions in the workplace as well as how different home improvement companies influence consumers with their commercials.

TJ Weber, a senior in Communications, did a study on president Obama’s speech on the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. He based his research off a book called “Deeds Done in Word,” written by two communications scholars.

“There are nine different types of speeches it breaks down,” said Weber about the book, which covers presidential speeches throughout history till when it was published in 1990.

“One of the chapters is war rhet-

oric and what they determined were the five major characteristics of presidents from George Washington to George Bush,” said Weber, “After close readings of [Obama’s ISIS speech], I determined whether or not he used these characteristics.”

He found that Obama used two of the characteristics quite a bit. One of them shows that the use of force is justified through the story that he is telling and the other shows he seeks more powers as Commander-in-Chief of the military.

“What the study showed me more than anything else is that we need to relook at these characteristics,“ said Weber. “Should the words that presidents use affect how we define situations?”

Kristen Bricklemyer, senior nursing major, developed a program to teach new nursing students to lead by example when taking care of patients by staying healthy themselves.

“I presented to level one students since that is the best time to really get them thinking about it,” said Bricklemyer, pointing out that in their busy schedule, nursing students can forget to take care of themselves.

“It’s a lot like a graduate project and so I felt like it was really good to get that experience as an undergraduate and to get help from a mentor,” said Bricklemyer. “It’s

cool that Washburn offers that because it gives people a chance to go outside of the normal curriculum and do something on their own a little bit.

Bricklemyer also points out that having WTE on a resume gives her something extra to talk about that is unique.

“It’s something that you can show that you have gone above and beyond and really put some time and effort into something extra,” adds Bricklemyer.

When temperatures took a nosedive last week, area residents responded by dusting off their winter gear to fight the freeze. However, the comfort of a warm coat is not a luxury everyone can afford and some have found themselves left out in the cold.

To help, a group of Ichabods has launched Operation Fleece Navidad, a winter clothing drive designed to spread the warmth during the cold Kansas winter. For the next several weeks, donations of new or gently used clothing are being accepted. Suggested items include fleece, coats, scarves, hoodies, hats, socks and gloves. Donors can drop off their items in the Petro Allied Health Center, the Student Recreation and Wellness Center or at the Mabee Library.

Operation Fleece Navidad was organized by a group of senior kinesiology students as a final project for their capstone class.

“This has been done because we heard about the numerous numbers of people who do not have the proper clothing for winter,” said Mallory Luney, student volunteer for Fleece Navidad. “The temperatures are already cold and we want to make sure they have clothes for the winter ahead of us.”

Graphic by Chelsea Howe

Students organized the drive for the first time last year and hope to make it a continuing tradition. Last year they brought in around 500 items, a goal they hope to top this year.

“Giving back to our community is very important to all of us,” said Luney.

Anyone who would like to donate items can stop by Petro Allied Health Center, the Student Recreation and Wellness Center or the Mabee Library, through Dec 5.

All donations will be given to the Topeka Rescue Mission. For more information, contact the Kinesiology department at kines@washburn. edu or 785-670-1459.

WU budget meeting held Fatima Oubaid

WASHBURN REVIEW

The Washburn community filled Henderson 112 yesterday in the first of two town hall meetings led by Washburn President Jerry Farley.

The second meeting will be held today at 3 p.m. in Henderson 100.

In lieu of opening remarks, Farley went to faculty and member attendees to ask questions or present concerns they had about upcoming budget issues.

Among these issues addressed was the enrollment and retention rates at Washburn. Farley discussed different incentives to

help students stay at Washburn, tuition plans that have failed and planning for the future.

Among these ideas were helping Topeka’s economic community appeal to bigger businesses in hopes to bringing them here and getting their support at WU. “We can’t change it [economy] so we might as well have hope for it,” said Farley.

Throughout the discussion, Farley maintained his position that Washburn’s conservative financial spending will help the university in these tough economic times.

Staying sane with one job at one time

This semester is nearly over.

Stress is rising with the list of due assignments, and it can lead to a feeling of being spread too thin. Is it even possible to finish everything that needs to be done? It’s not easy to focus on any single task when every class demands to be your top priority. As if that weren’t enough to balance, add the competing schedule of a job, or for those of you who live at home, carefully managing the expectations of parent landlords.

It’s easy for sleep and proper nutrition to be pushed further

down the list of priorities, but they are essential for being able to effectively accomplish anything. Don’t get me wrong, college is a time to push our limits during our peak physical age, but we must consider the quality of our work. We can all produce great things if given enough time, but we aren’t.

Remember what was drilled into us during standardized testing: “Don’t get hung up on a single question; keep working and return to it later.” Our brains tend to keep solving problems in the background, so we may

as well get something else done in the meantime.

For most college assignments, it takes so much time to finish 90 percent, and that same amount again to perfect the last 10 percent. Part of good time management is knowing when to accept the 90 percent and move on to something else, even if it’s a good night’s sleep. I prefer to be well rested and have an hour to produce a well-written article, instead of staying up all night writing and re-writing one that makes less sense as the hours drag on.

In my first years here, I was too stressed about my giant todo list to even chip away at it some days. I would get a bad night’s sleep and have nothing to show for it. Sometimes it seems like all the specific classrelated items we try to learn are less important than the metalessons of time management and staying focused. In truth, they are. Take it from a senior: The best way to make it through the semester is to focus on what you can do, one thing at a time. Don’t succumb to the irony of a to-do list that kills your motivation. Only think about everything when you’re planning a schedule, because if you think about everything all the time, nothing will be finished.

Focusing on one task until completion can be a difficult habit to start, because we gain a false sense of multitasking skills from jumping between

text conversations and social media, and thinking we’ll be just as effective when jumping between complicated homework projects.

While focus is important, don’t be completely closed off to where your mind wants to take you. If you’re knee-deep in one task, and suddenly have inspired ideas for an upcoming essay, definitely capture those thoughts before they vanish.

Everything is just as important as what you’re focusing on now, but our overall purpose is to make it through this semester, and the next, until graduation.

We can all get there by doing the job in front of us.

If this doesn’t apply at all to your life situation, tell us about it at wureview@gmail.com. Or spend that time doing the job in front of you.

Ichabods volleyball to face defending national champs

Tyler Feist Washburn Review

The Washburn volleyball team faced the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers in Lee Arena for the regular season finale Nov. 15.

It was the Ichabods’ last home game of the season and senior Marissa Cox’s last home game of her career.

The Nebraska-Kearney Lopers came to Topeka ranked No. 6 and with a 17-3 record in the MIAA and 25-3 overall.

But the No. 13 ranked Ichabods also boasted an impressive 16-5 MIAA record and 24-5 overall record. The stakes were high and the evening was set for an intriguing matchup.
