Fans cheer before the start of the football game against the University of Texas Sept. 19. Willie the Wildcat led a parade of motorcyclists around the field entertaining the 43,174 people who watched the Wildcats defeat the University of Texas Longhorns 41-7. Fans had a larger stadium to look forward to as the athletic department planned to expand the stadium by 7,000 seats, completing the $12.8 million expan- sion for the first home game in fall 1 999.

osquitoes, low waters and a blazing August sun could not spoil 12 students' canoe adven- ture.

During Labor Day weekend, Sept. 5-7, group mem- bers — including six foreign exchange students — par- ticipated in the Buffalo National River canoe trip spon- sored by the Outdoor Adventures Committee.

The canoe trip was one of five excursions to various parts of the country sponsored by OAC, a Union Pro- gram Council committee. Jana Hall, OAC member and senior in wildlife biology, said committee members planned all aspects of the trips.

"Committee members brainstorm ideas, and each individual picks one they would be interested in leading and organizing/' she said. "For the canoe trip, I was responsible for calculating trip costs, mapping the trip and making reservations."

Sarah Griggs, OAC member and junior in communi- cations sciences and disorders, said the trips provided opportunities for students they would not have other- wise.

"We provide activities people can't normally do, and we can usually offer them at cheaper rates," she said. "They provide an opportunity to meet new people, too."

The canoe trip in the Arkansas Ozarks cost each participant $60, which included transportation, canoe rental, equipment and food. After participants met Sept. 2 to determine tent partners and meals, they were ready

Sept. 5 9 a-m- ~ After sandwiching 12 people and their gear into a 15-passenger van and shoe polishing "KSU porn stars" on the windows, the group began the eight-hour trip to Arkansas. Students talked about cultural differences the exchange students observed.

"I was very confused," Hans Jacobs, an exchange student from the Netherlands, said. "My roommate was speaking very enthusiastically about something, but he kept saying it was 'the shit.' I wondered if he needed some sort of medical attention." 6 p.m. - The van rolled into the campsite at Tyler Bend campground. Six tent set-ups later, campers began cooking shish kebabs, potatoes and 'smores over the grill and campfire.

"The food was OK, which means really good in Germany," said Ulrike Hillmer, German foreign exchange student and graduate student in foods and nutrition. "I liked the marshmallows together with these crackers and chocolate."

10 p.m. - The group turned in for the night after a couple hours of conversation and excitement about an armadillo sighting.

"I saw the first armadillo the first afternoon in camp, while we were all eating dinner," Steve Butler, freshman in fisheries and wildlife biology, said. "I woke up sometimes, in the middle of the night, and there were about a dozen of the little guys running all through the campsite. Most of the armadillos I've seen have been smears on the highways while I've been driving through the South."

Sept. 6 10 a»m- - The campers headed east on the Buffalo River in six canoes. The goal

was to cover as much of the 16 miles as possible Sunday and finish the trek by noon Monday.

1:30 p.m. - The group took a break on the shore for lunch and pumped drinking water from the high spots of the river. Lack of rain had left the river low, and group members often had to drag their canoes through shallow spots.

"Sometimes I thought 'we will never reach our destination of our trip,' " Hillmer said. "You could swear a bit, but that was all. We just had to accept the fact that the river was in such a condition."

3:30 p.m. - Andrew McCoy, junior in civil engineering, discovered a rope swing, and campers took turns flinging themselves into the water.

About 20 minutes later, the group encountered three poisonous snakes — two water moccasins and a copperhead, which sped the pace of those dragging their boats nearby.

"They usually just mind their own business, but one was real aggressive and struck at my oar," McCoy said. "I got out of the boat to keep them to shore while everyone else passed. While Steve and I were looking up close at the water moccasins, a copperhead came out from under the rock to our feet."

5:30 p.m. - The group stopped for snacks and decided to row for two more hours. The leaders estimated they had covered 11 miles at that point.

"I had conferred with a member who had gone the previous year and the canoe outfitter, and they both informed me it would take approximately 11 hours to canoe," Hall said. "We feared we would not make our destination in time, so we pushed the group on the first day."

7:30 p.m. - After pitching camp, the canoers roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the campfire. A tipped canoe and water in the bottoms of boats left some equipment wet.

"My plastic bag apparently got a hole in it and my sleeping bag got wet while canoeing, and it didn't dry out before evening," Griggs said. "I had to sleep without one, and it got kind of chilly."

Sept. 7 7:30 a.m. - The group broke camp and packed the canoes. The canoe

outfitters were meeting the group at the Maumee North area at noon, so the group left early because they did not know how much distance they had to cover. 8:15 a.m. - As group members prepared themselves for another four hours of rowing, they unexpectedly reached their destination.

"I didn't expect to get done so early," Butler said of canoeing the distance in less than 10 hours. "It seemed like we were all in some sort of race."

Noon - The canoe outfitters arrived, and the group loaded their gear for the ride home. 9:00 p.m. - After eight hours on the road, the van reached the K-State Student Union.

"The trip went better than could be expected," McCoy said. "Everyone got along and learned from each other instead of finding ways not to get along like humans so often do."

"They sure weren't kidding about that."

mm ocal recognition helped area bands achieve success outside Manhattan. Ruskabank, a ska band made up mostly of students, began in the fall of 1995 with David Spiker, senior in music and vocalist, and Donny ves Laroque, senior in music education and pianist. The other six members joined by February 1996 and had their first rehearsals in the basement of Marlatt Hall. "People sent us hate letters," Spiker said. "We weren't able to (play) anywhere but parties. Everyday I'm amazed by it. Now people ask, 'Hey, when are you playing next?' "

Ruskabank played their 100th show Oct. 9.

"Manhattan is the best place to play," Dave Studnicka, trombone player and junior in geography, said. "Ninety-nine percent of our fans are in town. We have a great following. The whole town comes out and supports us."

Eric Melin, drummer for Ultimate Fakebook, another Manhattan band, liked being small-town based, but also recognized the difficulties it brought. "I like being from Manhattan," he said. "But it's easier to get noticed in a bigger city, so it's a challenge."

The distance between Manhattan and larger cities, like Kansas City and Lawrence, caused some discord between Ultimate Fakebook and other bands at the April 11, 1998 Klammies, a Kansas City and Lawrence area music award contest. The band was nominated for five awards and won four: Song of the Year, Band of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Alternative Rock Band.

"There was bitterness that we weren't from Kansas City or Lawrence," Melin said. "It was like we were from the area but really not."

Ultimate Fakebook, consisting of Melin, Bill McShane, vocals and guitar, and Nick Colby, bass guitar, formed in 1994. Their first CD, "Electric Kissing Parties," was released in 1998. The band also won a regional competition in Chicago, receiving $30,000 in prizes, including 40 hours of recording time and Disc Makers Independent Music World's title of Best Band in the Midwest.

"It was a weird stroke of fate that we ended up winning," Melin said.

Pomeroy, a Manhattan funk and hip-hop band, took the grand prize of $400 in the OPUS Live Band Competition Sept. 18 in the K-State Student Union free- speech zone. The 12th annual contest, sponsored by the Union Program Council's Eclectic Entertainment Committee and KMKF-FM 101.5, named Pomeroy the best of seven entries.

"We were really happy because it showed a lot of people around the area that Pomeroy is for real," David Fairbanks, lead vocalist and senior in mass communication, said. "It gave us more confidence. It reinforced the notion in our heads that we were good enough to win."

Melin said awards were nice but weren't what made him enjoy music. "It's in my blood," he said. "If I got my arms chopped off, I'd be unhappy because I couldn't play the drums. That's all I really want to do." Members from Ruskabank agreed.

"It's all about starting from nothing," Laroque said. "If you have a lot of success, great, but it's all about playing the music."

Heather Emig, senior in diatetics, received sky-diving lessons from her brother and sister for her 22nd birthday. The lessons started with four hours of classwork and ended 3,000 feet above Wamego City Air- port in a Cessna 182.

The 18 class members began their sky-diving experience in the K-State Student Union, learning the basics, such as parachute terminology, how to operate the parachute and emergency procedures.

Emig listens to instructor Jesse Magaha explain how to identify the landing zone from the air dur- ing class the morning of Oct. 3.

' efore sky diving students are ready to jump, they must practice landing. In the landing zone at Wamego City Airport, the group practiced parachute landing falls, or PLFs. PLFs, simulated an actual landing. Sky divers took a couple steps, jumped into the air, landed on their feet, rolled to their knees, hips and then onto their backs to avoid injury.

FALLING

the jump

After new students completed the classwork and hands-on training, they were ready for their first jumps. The first jump was by static line — a strap attached to the pilot chute and the plane. As the jumper fell away from the plane, the strap started canopy deployment by pulling out the pilot chute. The pilot chute then pulled out the main canopy. This process allowed first- time jumpers three to four seconds of freefall before the main canopy opened and slowed descent. After the canopy opened, an experienced jumper on the ground directed the students to the landing zone at Wamego City Airport via a radio installed in the students' helmets. After the jump was completed, the jumper recieved a logbook where each jump could be recorded.

With information about her first jump recorded, Emig looks over her parachute jump logbook. The logbook included information about each jump, like location, altitude, jump aircraft, date, wind conditions, jump master and notes about the jump.

Emig looks back at Correll waiting for the final command to jump. After crawling out onto the wing support, students waited for the jump master to say "dot," at which time the student looked at the "X" taped on the wing directly above their head. While looking at the "X," the student let go of the plane.

Before sky diving students are allowed to jump, they must take a test covering all the informa- tion in class about parachutes, their functions and emergency procedures. The students formed a circle around a trampoline in the hangar to complete the test.

poetry reading became interactive for the first time Oct. 8, and a full house at Java Espresso and Bakery appreciated the change.

The poetry reading, sponsored by the Union Program Council Arts Committee, centered on an interactive theme to attract audience members and increase participation.

"We are trying to include the audience," said Bronwyn Rounds, junior in fine arts and Arts Committee chairwoman. "This is a test to see if it works." The event included two Mad-Lib sessions in which participants contributed to the poem's words. Jake Kruge, senior in mass communications, and Rounds called out parts of speech, and audience members responded with words that sometimes brought laughter.

"This is going to be weird," Melina Hemphill, junior in family sciences and human services, said in response to the word "tentacle."

The surprise at the end was finding out the poems were the "To Be or Not 1 To Be" speech from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from the musical "Evita." Rounds read the students' versions of the poems as the audience laughed at the word choice.

Between open-mic sessions, committee members passed out notepads, pencils and a list of random words from Magnetic Poetry — words backed with magnets used to form poems on refrigerators and other magnetic surfaces. The audience was instructed to use the words on the list and take three minutes to write an original poem.

The room became quiet as the audience put pencil to paper, the only sound other than the cappuccino machine's distant churning. After three minutes, Rounds and Kruge invited the audience to share its work.

Some poems caused the audience to break out in laughter, while other serious poems left the group silent. "These are really deep. It must be like a poetry reading or something," Kruge said, laughing. Students read poems they wrote themselves, while others read from their favorite writers. The audience responded with encouraging words after those reading took their seats.

Hemphill read a poem about the random things children say. "Last time they said it was going to be extemporaneous, so that's what the poem was about," she said, "kids just rattling stuff off."

The interaction helped students become acquainted with others. Brent

Anders, sophomore in psychology met Rounds, his girlfriend, at the readings.

"He was smitten with me," she said with a grin and look in his direction.

In addition to giving students an opportunity to meet new people, the

poetry readings gave participants a skill they could use later in life.

"I think it helps people overcome their fear of speaking in front of people," Kruge said. "Everyone is encouraged to come up and read or say hi, because it's fun."

Several people shied away from reading their poems, but some made it a point to venture to the podium.

"It's a lot easier to get up when other people are making fools of themselves, too," Hemphill said. "I'm shy. This is my one chance to raise my voice."

ARMED WITH SLEEPING BAGS, LAWN CHAIRS, ID CARDS AND A LOVE OF FOOTBALL, STUDENTS CAMP OUT IN ANTICIPATION OF PRIZED TICKETS

PANIC

l_lne of the most anticipated football seasons in K-State history quickly turned into a nightmare for hundreds of students before the team even played its first game.

Groans filled Bramlage Coliseum at 12:45 p.m., Aug. 29, when Steve Stewman, junior in fine arts, purchased the final sheet of student season tickets and strolled into the coliseum parking lot after waiting six hours. He originally planned to buy tickets for himself and his roommate, but when he was told there was only one ticket left, he took it for himself.

"I feel bad for my roommate, but I feel lucky," Stewman said. "I'm just hoping to be discrete until everyone is gone."

Stewman was fortunate.

While Stewman and 8,828 others left Bramlage with cheers of KSU Stadium already ringing in their ears, ticketless students wandered away with bitter memories.

"This system does not work," Mike Borgelt, junior in theater, said. "There's got to be a better way."

The ticket craze began Aug. 27 at 4:30 p.m. when the first group of students set up camp to secure their place in line. Throughout the course of the night, students trickled into the parking lot, and sleeping bags, mat- tresses, coolers and Pizza Shuttle boxes began to dot the sidewalk leading to the Bramlage ticket office.

More than 4,700 students from all grade classifications purchased the $160 combination football and basketball season tickets on Aug. 28. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics said those students supporting both the football and basketball programs should have first priority when buying tickets. After that, priority for the $98 football tickets was based only on class standing.

Athletic Director Max Urick said he knew it was impossible to keep every student happy with the new ticket system. With ticket demand growing to an all-time high, Urick reasoned, "seniors have been here for four or five years, so obviously they should get first opportunity."

When deciding upon a new system, Urick said the athletic department took many factors into consideration. Department officials asked for input from Student Governing Association, the ICAT board and students. They also read critiques from the previous year to determine what students said worked and what didn't work.

By daybreak on Aug. 29, the second day of ticket sales, a line of anxious seniors spanned to Kimball Avenue and began to wind its way into the Vanier Football Complex parking lot. The crowd slowly moved toward the doors of Bramlage, awaiting an opportunity to buy just football season tickets. Juniors followed seniors at 10 a.m. to buy what was left of the coveted tickets.

ticket sales

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20

Athletic department officials applauded the adoption of identification scanners, which prevented ticket sales staff from writing thousands of social security numbers and quickened the ticket-buying process. Scanners al- lowed 700 purchases an hour.

Although additional scanners would be used during the 1999 ticket sales to increase productivity, a rule permitting students to purchase tickets for up to three other students of the same class level with proper student identifi- cation cards was debated.

While many students took advantage of the policy allowing them to purchase tickets for friends, some saw it as an opportunity to make a profit and sold extra season tickets at prices ranging from $150 to $500 a sheet.

"I don't think scalping entered any of our minds," Carol Adolph, inter- collegiate athletic agency manager, said. "We looked at the pros and cons during meetings, and that issue never came up. We learned very quickly and were very disappointed."

Just like tickets, the supply of $30 ICAT passes diminished quickly. During combo ticket sales Aug. 28, more than 2,500 passes were sold, prompting the ICAT board to increase the number of passes available. Even after increasing the original supply by 300, the ICAT board was left with about 200 of the total 2,800 passes on Saturday morning. ICAT Olympics Sports Director Toni Parks, junior in mass communications, said the demand for ICAT passes surpassed expectations.

"We were expecting to sell about 600 the first day and have a good 1,400 left the next day," Parks said. "It was amazing. We never expected it. It totally broadsided us."

Since K-State football headed into the season as a top-ranked team, Adolph said she knew ticket demand would far exceed its supply.

While K-State dealt with growing pains of athletic success, molding a fool-proof ticket system would consume athletic department officials' time for the rest of the season.

"Parents called angry that their children didn't get tickets," Adolph said. "I asked them if they could think of a better system. They didn't have an answer. For right now, neither do I."

Juniors wait outside the corrals in line for season football tickets Aug. 29 in the Bramlage Coliseum parking lot. Corrals were set up to keep students of the same grade classification together and to reduce line jumping. Students with a senior or above classification received priority on the second day of the sales. Juniors were still in line when the last ticket was sold, leaving underclassmen who had not purchased combo tickets, ticketless. The ticket sales process went faster because the sales staff did not have to write out thousands of social security numbers. The athletic depart- ment purchased new identifica- tion scanners to help keep lines moving. The scanners allowed 700 purchases an hour. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

Steve Stewman, junior in psychology, smiles at his luck when he hears he will receive the last football ticket. Stewman waited in line for more than six hours Saturday. "I got here at 6:30 a.m. Someone told me the wrong line, so I went through the senior line. Then, I had to go back to the junior section and go through the line again," he said. "I came with my girlfriend, who is a senior, and she got her tickets and left with the car and my keys." Stewman received tickets, but he was unable to buy another set for his roommate.

ick's Legend

Story of East Stadium's ghost

According to legend, Nick played football in the 1950s. While playing in a game, he broke his neck and was taken to the area now known as the Purple Masque Theatre.

Nick's parents were called to take him to the hospital, but they were involved in a fatal car wreck on the way to the stadium. Nick died in the theater while waiting for his parents.

According to the legend, the ghost of Nick still waited for his parent to arrive.

Although Pat Patton, research specialist for the University Archives, discovered that Nick never existed, the legend lived on.

Jo Miller, speech communica- tions, theater and dance instructor; Tyler Lansdown, junior in theater; and Jacob Brown, junior in mechanical engineering, perform the play "Fantasy." Lansdown, who wrote the play "Superman Theory," said he was surprised by the turnout for the event. "I didn't think so many people would be here," he said. "This is kind of crazy. I'm nervous. I just wrote this a few days ago." (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

Charlotte MacFarland, associ- ate professor of speech communication, theater and dance, holds a candle and tells the legend of Nick, the ghost, before the tour of Purple Masque Theatre. MacFarland got the idea for Midnight Madness from New York University and hoped it would increase awareness about the theater department. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

d of haunted theater draws audience to plays.

U

"sing the legend of the ghost of East Stadium to draw an audience, the theater department hosted a night of student-written plays based on a ghostly or supernatural theme.

From 11:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., Oct. 16, more than 80 people ventured into the Purple Masque Theatre, located in East Stadium, for Midnight Madness.

"It's an attempt to create something free and fun," Charlotte MacFarland, coordinator of the event, said. "Something entertaining and a little bit risky."

Students anonymously wrote plays and submitted them before the event began. Each play, about three to five minutes long, was uncensored, unedited and performed by audience members who sight read the script. The only stipulation was the play had to mention the word "ghost," "spirit," or center its theme on the supernatural.

"The scripts were great," Chris Piatt, junior in theater, said. "People had a good time. The audience was very responsive. This is the reason we love theater."

Some students based the whole script on a ghost story while others only mentioned the word "spirit" once.

"The scripts were not written until two or three days ago," Piatt said. "To see so many cold readings was great. It was good to see the crowd into it."

The idea of Midnight Madness came from other schools who had similar programs in their theater departments. MacFarland said she thought it would be a good way for students to have their works read, as well as increase awareness of the theater department.

"A lot of colleges around the country are doing this," MacFarland said. "We want- ed to try it here at K-State."

Following the play, Megan Nelson, junior in theater, led the audience on a candlelit tour of the theater, telling the story of the ghost, Nick, who ' ' ~ ~~~~ — — —

she suspected still lived in the theater.

According to legend, Nick was a football player who died of a broken neck in what is now the Purple Masque, during a football game.

"I'm real sensitive to spirits," Nelson said. "I can usually tell where he's at. He's upstairs right now."

Nelson led the group upstairs to a hallway. Nelson said she sensed Nick was angry because of the large audience. When the group began to leave, someone screamed.

"He's not real happy that we're here," Nelson said. "He took the candle from my hand and threw it to the ground."

Nelson explained it wasn't her — nor others — first encounter with Nick.

MacFarland recalled rehearsing one night and seeing a figure. When she tried to chase after it, it disappeared.

Another late night, Nelson said she saw a shadowed image of a young man wearing what looked like a football uniform.

Although the plays were the focus of the evening, the story of the ghost attracted most of the audience members to the event, Piatt said.

"All of us knew from the beginning that the Nick story would be a great crowd draw," Piatt said. "We just knew it was a creepy place to hang out. That's what people want."

Audience members laugh at one of the plays. Some authors chose to remain anonymous, but most took credit for their works. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

After arriving in Branson, Mo., Jan. 19, Carraway said the women attended rehearsals, which lasted about eight hours each day, and had required publicity events in the evenings.

"A lot goes into getting ready for this caliber of a pageant," Carraway said a few days before the pageant. "We sometimes don't return until 11:30 or 12 at night, and that's the time when we're supposed to return messages and do the things we need to do. I took my pillow to rehearsal this morning because I was so tired."

Security was tight, and guards accompanied candidates any time they were in public, Carraway said.

"This pageant is huge, so we had 24-hour security," she said. "I literally could not go to the restroom without having a security guard escort me."

Duke Myers, Carraway's grandfather, said due to the security, family members did not get to see Carraway much before the pageant.

"They kind of kept the girls away from the general public," he said. "We had to sign her out to see her, and we only got to see her for a few minutes here and there between rehearsals."

Caraway was not a stranger to the pageant circuit. She won the Miss Kansas Teen title at age 16 and was crowned Miss Kansas USA Sept. 26 in Wichita. She said those experiences gave her confidence.

"I think once you reach this level, you don't really get nervous," she said. "I was actually more scared because I didn't get butterflies. I think that you're so prepared and you have rehearsed this thing so many times that it just seems like it's another rehearsal."

Kristy Waggoner, Carraway's roommate and senior in elementary education, said Carraway's confidence was noticeable to the audience.

"She is very comfortable onstage," she said. "There's a look on the girls who are uncomfortable and scared, and Amanda just doesn't have that look."

Though she was confident onstage, Waggoner said it was especially important for Carraway, whose parents and sister died in a car accident when she was 15, to have family and friends attend the pageant.

"Amanda is such a strong person that she could go on and do this alone," she said before the pagent. "But I think she'll be more relaxed if she has everyone there to support her."

Family and friends attended the preliminary competition, which included the one-on- one interview, swimsuit and evening gown events. After the final event Feb. 1, Carraway said all she could do was wait.

"It's hard because our scores are locked in the computer, tabulated and already determined," she said. "It's out of my hands now. I feel like I did the best job that I could do, and whatever is meant for me will happen."

Monty Beisel, Carraway's boyfriend and sophomore in journalism and mass commu- nications, said Carraway's pageant director was optimistic after preliminaries.

"He told me that he thought Amanda had a real good chance of winning the preliminary swimsuit competition," Beisel said. "That would be big because I know she will do well in interview and is excited about her dress for the evening gown. I think she has a real shot."

Carraway said she was disappointed when she was not chosen as a finalist, but she was not disappointed in her performance.

"I did the best I could, and I wouldn't have changed anything," she said. "I think things work out how they are supposed to."

Christa Quinn, Carraway's former roommate and senior in accounting and marketing, said she hoped Carraway could take some time off after the pageant.

"I know the last couple of weeks have been really hard, and she is very tired," she said. "I hope she can take a break for a while now and spend some time with her family."

Carraway said she did not plan to take time off and would remain busy with her duties as Miss Kansas USA. She also intended to pursue acting and modeling.

"I have a feeling there is something bigger and better waiting," she said. "I just need to find it."

UPC sponsors free event allowing students to make

Students discovered there was something out of the ordinary going on in the K-State Student Union Courtyard when they saw people walking away with extra hands.

Union Program Council sponsored the Feb. 1 event, which gave students the opportunity to make wax molds of their hands or small candles in a glass globe.

Students made wax molds by dipping their hands into a vat of hot wax six times to form a sufficient coating.

The naturally white molds could then be col- ored by dipping them in red, blue, yellow or purple wax. Students were also able to create their own unique candle by arranging the miniature paraffin wax beads.

Heide McBride, Union Program adviser, said members became interested in the event after see- ing the candles and molds made at Wax and More's booth during the National Association for Campus Activities.

"They have an exhibit hall where you can talk to vendors," McBride said. "Our students tried it out and thought it would be a cool thing to bring here."

McBride said committee members liked the event because of its uniqueness.

"It's something new, and it's not like anything we've ever brought to K-State," McBride said. "Plus, it's something that people can walk away

with something to show. When people go to a lecture or see a comedian, they can say they learned something or that he was funny, but with the candles they can actually have something to show people."

Betsey Stetler, junior in art education, said she had mixed feelings before she made a wax mold of her hands, poised as if in prayer.

"I walked by and watched for a while, and I couldn't decide if it was neat or tacky, but I wanted to see what it felt like," she said.

Throughout the day, the line for the event stretched to the entryway of the Union Bookstore. McBride said more than 400 students participated, 150 making candles and another 250 to 300 making wax molds.

Whitney Haefner, senior in journalism and mass communications, said there were several rea- sons the event drew a large crowd.

"It's a nice stress reliever when you are running around all day," Haefner said. "Plus the fact it is free is great."

Some students planned to give their creations away but, Glenn King, sophomore in open option, said he had other plans for the wax hand molds he made.

"I'm going to take them home and put them in my room," King said. "That way I can sell them when I'm rich and famous."

Whitney Haefner, senior in journalism and mass communications, said the event provided a gift al- ternative for the upcoming holiday. "It's near Valentine's Day, and a candle could be used as a reminder to a friend or boyfriend that you care," Haefner said. (Photo by Jill Jarsulic)

First year for Job Expo considered success for students, employers

The Union Courtyard had more traffic than usual Aug. 25 when students stopped to look for a job.

The first Job Expo, sponsored by Career and Em- ployment Services, was an attempt to match students with 56 prospective employers. Organizer Mary Marston, of Career and Employ- ment Services, said the event met that goal.

"We hoped to have lots of em- ployers and students interact," she said. "Some employers had lots of job openings, and they were filled by the end of the day."

Marston said the idea for the event came from student and em- ployer input. Students requested a way to find a job and employers had trouble finding part-time help.

"They asked us to help," she said. "It meshed together."

Employers took a position at a table in the courtyard and waited for students to come to them. Stu- dents looked through the jobs available and if they were inter- ested, dropped off a resume or filled out an applica- tion. Jorge Sainz, junior in graphic design, said having employers in the same place made it more convenient for students.

"It's a lot easier," he said. "There are a bunch of people here, instead of me having to go to every business wasting gas."

Melissa Huenink, freshman in biology, stopped to browse the tables after seeing a sign advertising the event in the Union Bookstore. She found a job with

"I probably wouldn't have applied if they weren't there," she said. "I wouldn't have wanted to go all the way out there."

Marston estimated more than 500 students stopped to look at the employers' tables.

"I need something with pretty flexible hours," Mia Fraydouni, se- nior in elementary education, said. "Something that pays pretty well." Employers empathized with those needs.

"I'm a former K-State student, so I know students are always looking for part-time employ- ment," said Sharon Davies of Sykes, a computer software help service.

Employers also used the op- portunity to inform students and the community about their compa- nies.

"We want to let everyone know what kind of jobs there are in a nursing home," Janice Blazek, of Alma Manor, said. "We want to go past the stereotypes people have. They think there are just nurses. They don't think about dietary and housekeeping."

Although it was the fair's first year, Marston said she received such a warm response afterward that she was making plans for next year.

"It was successful," she said. "Several employers ran out of applications, and any student who wanted a job found one."

WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT THE FUTURE,

but what does it really have in store for K-State's campus?

In this special section, the Royal Purple staff went to the students and faculty and asked them where the next millennium would take us.

In the classroom, students could expect tech- nology to play a larger teaching role. They would continue to notice an increase in the different types of classmates as more non-traditional stu-

dents returned to school.

Health issues could also be brought to the forefront as K-Staters continued to search for a cure for cancer. Thanks to K-State textile re- search, students could also reduce their risks for skin cancer by wearing the right clothes.

Wherever the next 100 years takes us, K-State students and faculty sat on the forefront of the knowledge that would lead us there.»

Before Brian Shirley started his home- work, he took time to paint his daughters' fingernails and toenails purple.

Brian, senior in milling science, and his wife, Launa, graduate student in accounting, were among the 23.1 percent of students considered non traditional. The two had been married since Oct. 5, 1996, and had 21/2 year old identical twin girls.

Brian and Launa said raising children while attending school full time was a strain as most schoolwork had to be put off until the girls went to bed at 10 p.m.

"It wasn't as hard when they were younger. You got shorter sleep intervals, but they didn't do that much," he said. "This year, they are old enough that they want to play with you."

Brian said people were surprised to dis- cover they fit the non-traditional description — 25 years and older or younger than 25 years and married.

"You sit there with your peers, and ev- eryone is your age, and they automatically think everyone is like them and doesn't have kids," Brian said. "You just get tired of every- one going, 'Oh my God, you have kids, and you're married?' "

The number of students like the Shirleys grew over the years. In 1978, 1,294 students were non-traditional. In 1998, there were 4,834, a 16-percent increase, Nancy Bolson,

By Maria Johnson and Jeff

director for adult student services, said.

She predicted the percentage of non-tra- ditional students would increase with the availability of Web classes and an increase in night classes.

Unlike the Shirleys, some non-traditional students were from a different generation. Leif Urseth lived in Putman Hall for three years, and the residents knew him for one simple reason: he was nearly 30 years older than most of them.

Urseth originally wanted to live off cam- pus, but when his roommate dropped out of graduate school, he decided to live on cam- pus.

"When you've been out in the world for 20 years and you go back to the university there's some cultural shock," Urseth said. "When I was in the university, a good Smith- Corona typewriter was top-of-the-line, and now it's computers."

Like the Shirleys, Urseth said he didn't regret going through college as a non-tradi- tional student. He said in many ways it had been a positive experience for him.

"It's very interesting to think that I have good friends of the generation older than me, good friends of my generation and now good friends of this generation," Urseth said. "I wouldn't do it any different than the way I've done it. In the process I've picked up some very good friends."

BioServe Space Technologies helped send K-State research into space.

K-State teamed up with the University of Colorado to form BioServe Space Technolo- gies, which looked at ways of using space to benefit people.

"BioServe is a commercial space center that uniquely blends the talents of university faculty members, university scientists, gov- ernment and industry," Laurine Speights, marketing and program development man- ager, said. "We try to tap into discovering new technologies and processes within mi- crogravity that can benefit life on earth."

One BioServe project was conducted by Peter Wong, professor of biology. Wong studied converting cereal plants like wheat, corn and rice into nitrogen-fixing plants, such as soybeans, alfalfa and clover.

Wong's experiments went into space with Ohio Senator John Glenn on the Oct. 29 flight of Space Shuttle Discovery STS-95.

"The prime focus of Dr. Wong's research is growing wheat seedlings in microgravity conditions and seeing if they could fixate a bacterium stream where nodules can form on the plants, so they can absorb the nitrogen and hold it," Speights said. "Having that capability in cereal crops would not require so much nitrogen fertilizers, which is a very expensive cost to farmers. Wheat farmers would be in seventh heaven."

>>

The BioServe project was established in conjunction with the University of Colorado.

TO SPACE

Wong's main interest was helping Kan- sas agriculture.

"My fondest hope is to think that I'm really a plant scientist interested in agricul- ture," Wong said.

BioServe received $1 to $2 million each year and worked with various companies developing new technologies that were sent into space on a shuttle.

"A large part is public relations, so we try to build up rapport with industries," Speights said. "Because people think of space, they think of sci-fi, and they're not in touch with the progress that has been made. So it's a long, educational process we have to go through in bringing industry in and join- ing us to sponsor research."

Chief BioServe scientist Terry Johnson said a space station would be built to accom- modate longer experiments.

"Right now, shuttle flights are about a week long, and you can't really carry out long-term plant growth experiments," Johnson said. "But if you have a permanent- ly orbiting laboratory, your experiments can last months, even a year."

Johnson predicted students would work at the completed space station.

"Our vision is that when the space station is built and functioning that many of the workers carrying out experiments will be wearing purple T-shirts," Johnson said.

Wong's experiment orbited earth for nine days beginning Oct. 29 on the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-95.

IN A NEW

When Lisa Bietau had a parent-teacher conference with fourth-grader Hannah Clark's parents, Hannah wasn't worried. The Eugene Field School student had some- thing to show her parents.

Hannah had a portfolio.

"You have them so you can look at them when you get older," Hannah said. "You can look at your work, and you can find things you did good."

Hannah, and an increasing number of elementary students across the nation, dis- played their progress using a portfolio.

Angelina Adams, senior in elementary education and sixth-grade student teacher at Amanda Arnold Elementary School, said faculty were beginning to teach portfolios as an alternative to traditional testing.

"It's becoming more and more common- place," she said. "A standard 'A' just does not show individual growth."

Professors taught how to use portfolios and other measures to better show parents and students what was learned, Adams said.

"I've had conferences with parents of students who need a little help," she said. "I can bring in examples from my students to show what areas need improvement."

Adams said professors didn't have a cer- tain way portfolios had to be used, but in- cluded them in a group of alternatives, like

journals, checklists and observations.

David Penka, senior in elementary edu- cation and second-grade student teacher at Amanda Arnold, said portfolios comple- mented traditional testing.

"I will use a combination of (letter grades and portfolios)," he said. "You will still do paperwork, but you can incorporate student work and hands-on types of things as op- posed to just working out of a textbook."

Penka said K-State was just beginning to teach portfolio use.

"We had a lot of speakers come in and talk about portfolios, and I thought it was interesting," he said. "Hopefully, K-State will develop a class on how to use them because right now it's not very structured."

Keri Custer, senior in elementary educa- tion and first-grade student teacher at Amanda Arnold, agreed.

"Everyone talks about it but we haven't seen enough yet," she said. "I would use them if I could get more experience."

Mandy Fouts, senior in elementary edu- cation and student teacher at Amanda Arnold, said using portfolios made her more competitive in the job market.

"You have to separate yourself as a teacher," she said. "They're looking for something different. You have to mix and shake things up a little."

Lisa Bietau, now a fourth- grade teacher at Eugene Field School, first used portfolios at Amanda Arnold.

FROM SUN'S

Protecting skin from exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays was as simple as know- ing what to wear.

To ensure consumers knew what to wear on sunny days, a textiles student and profes- sor worked on a project that could lead to labeling a shirt's sun-protection ability.

"There are some problems with sun- screens. Like if you go swimming, it washes away, and you need to reapply it every hour," Magesh Srinivasan, graduate student in human ecology, said. "So clothing is an alternative to that."

Like sunscreen's sun protection factor, or SPF, designations, Srinivasan said clothing's protection value could be measured by ul- traviolet protection factor, or UPF.

"Right now the UV protection of textiles and clothing is a very important area in the textile industry because of the problems with skin cancer," said Barbara Gatewood, professor of clothing textiles who served on a committee looking into the issue for the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. "We've been interested in it for about two years"

Interest came as skin cancer cases began to increase, Srinivasan said.

Some doctors had already used clothing to cover people who were so sensitive to the rays they could get lesions from spending five minutes in the sun. Srinivasan helped

validate that practice for the general public with his work, going even farther to investi- gate which dyes best blocked rays.

"It has been suggested that darker col- ored fabrics, especially dark blues and blacks, provide better protection than lighter colored fabrics of other hues," he wrote in a paper presented to the A ATCC Sept. 22-25 in Philadelphia. "However, few studies have examined the UV absorption of different hues within specific application classes of dyes."

He explained that while a red fabric sample might have a UPF of about 51 and purple might have a UPF of about 29, it didn't mean that red was always more pro- tective than purple. He said the chemical makeup of the dye affected cloth's UPF more than color, a previous misconception.

Srinivasan's research included scanning different colors and dyes to measure their UPF at a specialized computer in Justin Hall.

Despite all of his work on the project, Srinivasan said many people didn't realize the risks of developing skin cancer, the most common form of cancer.

"People don't get the gravity of the situ- ation," Srinivasan said. "The main thing is people becoming aware of using fabrics for sun protection. We need to catch the aware- ness of the public and then immediately the industry will serve people."

Magesh Srinivasan, graduate student in human ecology, began studies measuring the UPF of different cloths.

The university invested in computers and technology to help students learn in ways they felt comfortable and prepare for the next century.

"If you are taking a course like College Algebra and you're best able to learn in a visual plus written format, it ought to be presented in that way," Elizabeth Unger, vice provost for academic services and tech- nology, said. "If it was discovered that you don't have a good grasp on negative num- bers or imaginary numbers, the computer module you are coping with recognizes that and goes out and gives you a review of those imaginary numbers."

Students retained 10 percent of what they heard in lectures, making it important to create an environment more suited for their needs, Unger said. Professors integrated technology into classrooms through Power Point demonstrations and small group dis- cussions via listserves, Unger said. Resi- dence hall rooms had two ports where stu- dents could connect to the Internet. Six fra- ternity and sorority houses were also wired to receive Ethernet connections in 1998.

Still, the university could achieve more, Unger said.

"I can certainly see as far out as being able to project holographic images and let stu- dents exist in a virtual environment," Unger said. "For instance, we could project holo-

graphic images of a dance, where you could take out one of the dancers and put in a K- State student and let them dance with Baryshnikov or Fred Astaire."

To help students with classes, the univer- sity established K-State Online in the sum- mer of 1998. It provided information such as syllabi, professor biographies and slide shows relating to class topics. Students en- rolled in World Wide Web classes could log onto K-State Online, listen to their professors as they lectured on campus and e-mail ques- tions during the lecture.

"It gives students who aren't quite as verbal a chance to think about their ques- tions and then ask them," Justin Carlson, multimedia coordinator for the Division of Continuing Education, said. "It really levels the class participation. Most classes are dominated by 10 to 20 percent of the class who are type-A people, but professors with Web classes say that isn't true."

Unger said, technology was not meant to dominate. It should assist teachers without hindering their classroom progress.

"What is important is student learning and forefront research. The technology should almost be invisible. It should be am- biguous and everywhere," Unger said. "It should be so easy to use that you don't even think about it any more than picking up the telephone. That's the goal."

K-State became one of first schools on Internet 2, which ran 140 times the speed of the World Wide Web.

Residence halls had Ethernet connections so students could access the Internet from their rooms. Technology spread across campus allowing stu- dents to do things like enroll from K-State's homepage using their computers. (Photo illustra- tion by Clif Palmberg)

THE CURE

Mersmann and Jake Palenske

The K-State Center for Basic Cancer Re- search won a major battle in the fight against cancer, when researchers there isolated a protein they said could stop the growth of cancer cells.

For almost 20 years, K-State researchers worked to identify the protein, purify it, characterize it and find out how it worked.

CeReS-18 was a protein that caused nor- mal cells to stop growing and die when they reached each other. Cancer cells lacked that protein.

"We have purified a protein that no one else has," Heideh Fattaey, research scientist for the center, said. "We have been working with the protein for a while now, trying to figure out how it works and why it does what it does to the cells."

However, lack of sufficient funding stopped the center from furthering clinical research.

They applied for a patent with the hope that after it was received a corporation would become interested in the product and fund research and development of the pro- tein.

Cancer cells, normal cells that continued to grow after they reached each other, caused the formation of tumors. Because cancer cells kept growing, scientists figured they lacked the genetic information, or pro- tein, which caused them to die naturally.

Radiation was first used to reduce pain. In 1998 it was used to cure 40 percent of all cancer cases.

"This protein kills cancer cells apoptotically, in a natural fashion," Fattaey said. "We basically force the cells to commit suicide."

There were two ways for cells to die, necrotically and apoptotically. When cells died by necrosis, there was an inflammation of the tissue. Most bruises and bumps caused the necrotic death of cells. Apoptosis was the natural way a cell knew when it was supposed to die, similar to a leaf falling from a tree in the fall.

In addition to isolating the protein, K- State scientists worked on a way to geneti- cally engineer the molecule to produce it in mass quantities. They took the DNA from the protein and put it in bacteria. The bacte- ria read the genetic information as its own, thus creating the protein.

The center was founded in 1980 as a nonprofit organization, using funds from private and public donations to aid cancer researchers. Dr. Terry C. Johnson, center di- rector, said the organization had three points of focus in their fight against cancer: re- search, education and outreach.

"Progress against cancer has to be made in small steps. There are rarely huge break- throughs," Johnson said. "We hope to pro- vide assistance to those researchers who are making the small steps in the search for a cure."

Students help Red Cross save lives with blood

Once the dust settled, K-State had bagged more blood than the University of Kansas during the American Red Cross Blood Drive, Oct. 5-9.

Students competed with KU, which had its fall blood drive in conjunction with K-State's, in a successful attempt to regain the traveling trophy. The competition began in 1993 as a means to increase involvement, said Mark Barkman, senior in international business and marketing and stu- dent coordinator for the K-State blood drive.

Nancy Powell, donor resource consultant for the North-Central Plains Region of the Red Cross said more than 1,000 people volunteered to do- nate. Most of those turned away did not have a body temperature within guidelines or took medi- cation at the time.

"We were trying to find something to spur more donors," Barkman said. "We needed to ini- tiate something that would get more of a flow back in."

Red Cross workers gave T-shirts to everyone who attempted to donate. The shirts, which dis- played the Powercat and Red Cross logos, were sponsored by local businesses. The supply of 1,000 T-shirts ran out on the last day of the drive.

"Everyone who did not get a T-shirt today will be sent one," Powell said.

Parking Services also motivated participation

by offering a $5 coupon — good for the week of the drive — towards an outstanding ticket. The offer was available to the first 1,000 people who at- tempted to donate. Some did not want the cou- pon, so everyone who did received it, Barkman said.

Amy Hipsher, sophomore in kinesiology, was one of more than 200 students in the Introduction to Human Development class who received extra credit for giving blood.

"I got extra credit in human development," Hipsher said. "Otherwise, I probably wouldn't donate."

Bob Poresky, associate professor of family studies and human services, said he offered extra credit for two reasons.

"One, students don't even know their blood types. Two, it's a good way to get them to help other people," he said. "Society works best when there's reciprocity."

Poresky expected about 100 students to take advantage of his offer, but two times that number turned out.

Like Poresky, Red Cross personnel were im- pressed by the turnout.

"I think the students here at K-State are very community oriented. I think the community gets out and is very supportive," Powell said. "It's a different atmosphere here."

A row of numbered pint donation bags sit, waiting to be filled with blood. At the end of the blood drive, more than 120 gallons of blood had been collected, which was enough to save between 2,880 and 3,840 lives. Immediately after collection, the blood was transported to the Red Cross's Central Plains Region center in Wichita and separated into its components of plasma, platelets, red cells and other derivatives.

'nlike many performers, Christopher Carter did not tell the audience what was on his mind. He told them what was on theirs.

Carter, a traveling mind reader, brought his show "Theater of Thought" to K-State-Salina Nov. 11 at the College Center conference room. The interactive performance, sponsored by K-State-Salina's Student Government Association, drew 65 participants.

"We were expecting anywhere from 50 to 100," Marcus Howell, junior in airway sciences and SGA activities director, said. "I had planned it for about a month and a half through his agents, ARIO Entertainment. He had been recommended by another performer who had been here before."

After being introduced, Carter said he did not want to be referred to as a psychic.

"I never, ever call myself a psychic because, to me, it brings up these 900 numbers you might have seen," he said. "I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to be confused with LaToya Jackson's psychic hotline."

The first tricks, which included predicting numbers and cards, were used to scan the audience, Carter said.

"All of the early stuff is the easy stuff that is giving me an opportunity to check everybody out," he said. "Some people are really easy to read and others are nearly impossible.

"It's an emotional thing," Carter said. "People who are extremely emotionally closed, everything they use to cover their emotions becomes a tool that you can read them with. And people who are open, I mean they're just a breeze."

Carter said he used applied psychology to evoke certain responses in some stunts. He used this technique when he asked the audience to imagine two shapes, one inside the other.

"I'll try to get people in the audience to think of a simple picture or design," Carter said. "They won't see me, but what I'm actually going to do is draw, with a gesture, the design in the air. I'm going to make it a natural gesture, and they're not going to know that I've done that, but it's going to register subconsciously."

The next tricks were more complex, and Carter could not choose the participants. After duct taping silver dollars to his eyes and putting on a blindfold, Carter successfully guessed three objects — a tennis shoe, lip gloss and a balloon — that audience members had gathered.

Audience members then wrote on index cards their names, something about themselves, a significant number and a question. The cards were put into a large bowl and randomly drawn. Still blind folded, Carter felt the cards and guessed information, ranging from siblings' birthdays to pets' names.

Carter gave information about Russ Essman, freshman in airway sciences, like his name, that he wanted to race cars and the answer to his question. Essman said he was "flattered" Carter read his thoughts.

"I think he has a talent. I think it's mind reading. I don't know how else to explain it," Essman said. "I asked him how old I was on the card, and the answer was 'old enough to know better.' "

Though on target with Essman, Carter said he sometimes could not gather any information from a person or got things wrong. He said dishonesty was also a problem.

"There are a lot of people that I get right, and they don't even tell me until after the show," Carter said. "They come up to me later and tell me I was right. I think, 'well, why in the hell didn't you tell me 10 minutes ago?' "

Howell said the things he heard after the show were positive.

"A lot of people really liked the show," he said. "I didn't hear any negatives."

Surprised by Carter's accuracy, Rebecca Rairden, laughs as he holds up the word she had randomly chosen from a book. Carter said mind reading was a skill anyone could acquire and practice. "A lot of what I do is try to manipulate people psycho- logically to get them to think what I want them to think," he said. "You can practice that on the bus, in lines, basically any time you talk to people." (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

Self defense class teaches women ways to protect themselves.

A large man grabbed her from behind. She quickly grasped his pinky fingers, twisted to her right and escaped — just as she was taught to do.

"Good job," the man said, and the rest of the participants applauded.

That was the scene Sept. 23 when West Hall sponsored a women's self-defense class taught by Tae-Kwon-Do black belt Dave Portnly.

"What we learned about rapists is that they grab you," Portnly said. "I'm going to teach you how to get out of that."

Portnly's introduction began a 45-minute session on women's self- defense.

"It is important for women to learn self-defense," Portnly said. "Not only to protect themselves, but so they can also develop confidence in themselves."

As a member of the Women's Rights Group, Portnly traveled nationwide to college campuses, teaching women in residence halls and sororities how to defend themselves. The Women's Rights Group, based in St. Louis, not only taught self-defense classes, but also helped women who had been raped find a public defender for their cases.

Since September and October had the highest incidents of rape statistically, Portnly said the September session at West was timely. Portnly showed simple but effective methods of escape, like pinching the attackers' underarms and grabbing their pinky fingers.

Erika Anderson, sophomore in general engineering, said Portnly's facts motivated her to be

more protective of herself.

"One in four college-age women are sexually

assaulted or raped," Anderson said. "I think it's made

me more aware of the things I can do if someone

approaches me and the ways I can protect myself."

Participants also discussed the characteristics

rapists looked for in victims.

"Easy access to you and easy access to taking your clothes off," Portnly said, explaining that many styles of women's clothing, including tank tops, halter tops, overalls and ponytails, made it easier to assault women.

Portnly said college-aged women were more likely than middle-aged women to be raped on a date by someone they knew. According to the National Coalition for Domestic Violence and the National Victim Center and Crime Victim Research Treatment Center, 84 percent of women knew their assailants.

"Dave really made me think about my safety on and off campus," Amanda Panning, freshman in secondary education, said. "I never really thought about how to get out of a dangerous situation before."

Emily Morrison, West Hall resident assistant, said she thought Portnly did an excellent job getting his point across.

"I think he made them stop and think and made them realize that rape can happen anywhere, and it can happen to them," Morrison said. "I think that is the key when you are dealing with any type of violence."

SONY PLAYSTATIONS MOVED OUT OF LIVING ROOMS AND INTO UNION STATION AS STUDENTS MET TO BATTLE FOR A NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP.

GROUNDS

ong snapper Brandon Knowles proved he could play college football both on the field and in living rooms.

Knowles, junior in social science, competed against 26 participants to win the EA Sports NCAA Football '99 PlayStation tournament Oct. 20 in Union Station. A fourth-quarter interception sealed the tournament win for Knowles. He said he did not expect to do so well.

"Me and James Garcia came here not expecting to win," Knowles said. "But I was lucky and had a couple of good wins and kept on going."

The tournament stopped at 32 Division I schools nationwide. Jeff Luhr, a production assistant for EA Sports, said every conference was represented. The winners of the 32 tournaments would be flown to two regional compe- tition sites: the West Coast Regional in Redwood City, Calif., and the East Coast Regional in Orlando, Fla.

Two winners from each regional competition would go to Tempe, Ariz., to compete at the national championship on Jan. 4, the same day as the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Cindy Higgins, Eudora, Kan., who helped with the tournament, said it was interesting to watch participants.

"Everybody is chewing gum," Higgins said. "And they are really in- tense."

The players had different styles — some of which proved more successful than others.

"I never play conservative, and I pull up fourth and goal from the one," Shad Shapland, freshman in open-option, said. "I figured I would play it right and kick a field goal, and I missed."

Shapland said he knew after the missed kick, the game was over. Then, like any coach, Shapland critiqued his performance.

"I have one play that I run, and I get a guy open every time," Shapland said. "I have had 10 people in, and they challenge my play, and none of them can beat it, but for some reason, I just totally lost concentration and left it in the wind."

As the night wore on, players grew tense and occasionally shouted expletives. Defeated players watched eagerly, thinking about missed oppor- tunities as those still playing became more intense.

"I will be back for basketball," Wes Wright, freshman in secondary education, said referring to the possible basketball tournament in the spring after he was eliminated from the football tournament.

Knowles said he could not attend the regional competition because of conflicts with football. Since he could not attend, runner-up Jason Bruce, senior in elementary education, took his place at the regional competition. Knowles said he wished him luck.

"The only thing I can tell him is to get a lot of practice before he goes, and I wish him the best of luck because I know there are going to be a lot of good players there," Knowles said. "If he just plays the way he did against me, he will be fine."

Identical twins confuse friends with looks that are a

by shanda parker

Julie and Valerie Kircher, Barry and Mike Bur- son, and Jenny and Melissa Conkling saw them- selves as no different from anyone else, but to others the three sets of twins were different be- cause they looked the same.

Barry, freshman in horticulture, and Mike, freshman in construction science, were members of Kappa Sigma fraternity. Barry said they did not talk about which fraternities they were rushing and coincidentally picked the same one.

"We both knew we were going to K-State," Barry said, "But it is a complete accident that we are in the same house."

This year was the first they had not roomed together after sharing a bedroom for 18 years.

"We lived together 24-7. It was a constant fight," Barry said. "Now we get along, and it is a change for the better."

The twins said they gave each other more trou- ble than anyone else. Mike said they grew up joking around and pushing one another to work harder. He said one minute they were at each other's throats, and the next minute they were fine, but that was how they communicated.

"We want to see each other do well." Barry said. "We don't want to see each other make mistakes."

Julie, freshman in architectural engineering, and Valerie, freshman in secondary education, said they enjoyed surprising people. The Kircher twins attended a Beta Theta Pi fraternity date party on Sept. 4, and acted like they had never met.

Their dates introduced them to others, and they pretended they didn't know each other.

"People believed it," Valerie said. "People would say, This is so weird. Are you sure you've never met? You look so much alike; you could be twins.' "

Jenny and Melissa Conkling said they didn't like just being know as the "twins" in high school. They chose separate colleges their freshman year, with Jenny going to K-State and Melissa to Truman State University in Missouri.

"I was excited to be going to separate schools," Jenny, junior in human resource management, said. "I wanted to be known as me and not just the 'twin.' "

Although Melissa, junior in human resource management and Spanish, transferred to K-State after the twins' first semester, Jenny said it was much easier to maintain her identity in college.

"In high school everyone knew us as twins. You just couldn't get away from it," Jenny said. "It's a lot different here, because even though we're in the same major and taking the same class, people don't get us confused. In college I've never had to answer the question, 'Which twin are you?' "

Jenny said she and her sister never had a prob- lem with each other. She said they always had their own identities to their friends as well.

"The problem I had was with other people," Jenny said. "I wanted them to see us as different people, not just twins."

The younger sister by only eight minutes, Julie Kircher sticks her tongue out at her twin sister Valerie Kircher. When the twins were born, Julie said family members were so surprised by the birth of a second baby they didn't believe her father when he first called to tell them the news. The two lived in Boyd Hall but did not share the same room so they could meet new people. Although they didn't live together, they said they were asked the same questions a lot. "They'll say, 'Are you Julie's sister?' " Valerie said. "Or they will say, 'I wonder why I have seen so much of you everywhere I look.' " (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

BETWEEN THE RECREATION COMPLEX, BRAMLAGE COLISEUM AND PARKING SERVICES, CHICO BECAME A FAMILIAR FACE TO STUDENTS

NOTORIETY

lmost everyone knew Chico, but few knew anything more. "I've never met anyone who knows so many people," said Joe Pensky, senior in finance who worked with Chico at Parking Services. "People would just walk up to him and say, 'hello.'"

His name was Albion Crichlow, and he came to K-State in fall 1993 after more than 20 years of military service as a medic. His duties took him to bases in Germany, Hawaii, California, New Jersey and eventually brought him to Fort Riley, Kan., where he met his wife.

Chico worked as an appeals officer for parking services and was in charge of security at Bramlage Coliseum while he attended school through the

benefits of the G.I. Bill. After graduating in May 1998 with a bachelor's degree in social science with a criminology emphasis, Chico stayed in Manhattan and took a part-time job at the Flint Hills Job Corps and Bramlage.

He said he was content living in Manhat- tan with his wife and daughter.

"People will bend over backwards to help you," he said. "It is very clean and safe." Emily Koenig, graduate student in archi- tecture, worked with Chico at Bramlage.

"He just has an air about him," Koenig said. "Everybody respects Chico. He makes himself known."

His involvement in so many aspects at K- State made him familiar to both faculty and students.

"He will do anything for anyone," said Sarah Scherer, senior in business, who also worked with Chico. "He's so interesting be- cause he's already lived such a full life." While saying hello and casting a smile to anyone who looked his way, Chico said he wasn't afraid to challenge someone he felt acted inappropriately.

"I have a lot of friends and don't have any problems with anyone," he said. "But if I'm around people who are loud and carrying on, I will challenge them to see what they're doing. I like to see everyone in unison with each other. I'm a mediator. People respect me for that."

Chico said he thought it was important to share his fitness tips with others. He was a semi-professional bodybuilder in the military and had several weight-lifting records, which remained unbroken at Fort Riley.

"Part of the respect I get is from my build," he said. "I'm always polite, but part of my job is to maintain law and order for Bramlage."

Scherer said students loved Chico for the way he expressed himself. "He would do anything for anyone," she said. "He is good hearted and concerned about everyone and their health."

Student takes holiday position portraying Santa

'anta didn't always come from the North Pole. Sometimes he came from K-State.

During the holiday season, Philip Thies, junior in elementary education, was one of five men who portrayed Santa Claus for Reflections Photography at Manhattan Town Center. Thies applied for the job in 1996 and 1997, but both years he was unable to fit it into his schedule. He said he was glad it worked out for 1998.

"I enjoy working with kids, and I've always seen how happy they are when they see Santa," Thies said. "I just hope I can make the day special for some of them."

Thies' first appearance as Santa came Nov. 21, the day Santa arrived at the mall. Before his 5 to 8 p.m. shift, Thies said he had some jitters.

"I'm nervous about the acting and talking to people walking by," Thies said. "I'm also kind of nervous about saying the, 'Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas' part. I've been practicing."

But after playing his shift as Santa, Thies said everything went smoothly.

"Things went really well with them," he said. "You had to answer

questions about gifts and pull stuff off the top of your head. That was

probably the hardest part."

Thies said children's reactions were entertaining.

"One little boy didn't want to come up to me at first. He would stand 10 feet away and yell questions to me," he said. "He wentback to his mom and kept coming back up. He probably did that 20 times. The last time he finally came up to me and said, 'OK, I like you now.' "

Children's reactions depended on their age, Susan McKinney, junior in elementary education and one of Santa's helpers, said. "The younger ones that are days or months old are very solemn and the 2-year-olds are scared because Santa is a stranger," McKinney said. "The 4- and 5-years-olds are excited and run up there smiling and yelling, 'Santa, Santa.' "

Jodi DeWeese, a photographer with Reflections Photography said it was common for kids to visit Santa more than once during Santa's tenure at the mall between Nov. 21 and Dec. 24.

"A lot of kids are afraid at the beginning of the year and will have to work

up to it," DeWeese said. "They usually come back on Dec. 22 to visit Santa."

The average age of children visiting Santa was between 5 and 1 0 years old,

DeWeese said. But those as young as four days, or as old as 30 years had

stopped to see Santa.

Thies enjoyed visiting with children of all ages, but he said holding infants made him nervous.

"With all of the padding you have and the suit, it is hard to tell if you actually have a hold of them," he said. "I told one mother she would have to lay her baby on my lap because I couldn't feel her."

Despite minor problems with his beard fitting incorrectly and a few scared children, Thies said playing Santa was fun, and he wanted to continue the job. He said knowing the children were happy was the best part.

"Just seeing their faces, a lot of them are excited from the get-go, and love you," he said. "Some of them you have to persuade a little, but after a while they decide you are an all-right person. The grins and stuff are just great."

Liver from Wagner Field, it's

hy joftl white

If playing Nebraska wasn't enough to turn Manhattan into a purple frenzy, ESPN Gameday put the celebration over the top.

In front of 12,000 purple-clad spectators, with tortillas flying through the brisk morning air, col- lege football analysts Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit broadcasted their nationally-tele- vised show live from Wagner Field.

"The show is very popular, and I think a lot of football fans all over the country watch the show every Saturday," sports information director Kent Brown said. "It's kind of a stamp that you've ar- rived when the Gameday crew shows up."

K-State didn't let ESPN down as fans lined up outside KSU Stadium at 6:45 a.m. to appear on the 9:30 a.m. segment of ESPN SportsCenter and the 10 a.m. Gameday Show.

"I wanted to be here first, and I wanted to be on national TV," Stacy Kissling, junior in family life and human development, said. Kissling was one of the first people in line at the gate of KSU Stadium.

Brown said the fan turnout was well beyond his expectations.

"Not knowing how many fans would show up kind of gave me a panic attack on Friday night because there could have been only 100 people," Brown said. "I expected a couple thousand."

During the show, fans behind ESPN's set re- sponded to various segments while watching Fowler, Corso and Herbstreit preview major games on the Jumbotron.

Brown said the Gameday crew had good things to say about the fan involvement.

"They said they thought our fans were as good as they've been around," Brown said. "They appre- ciate the fact that fans were watching the show and reacting to it rather than trying to disrupt it."

When previewing the K-State vs. Nebraska game, Herbstreit was booed when he praised Ne- braska. After he said K-State would win the game if they built momentum early, the crowd roared.

"You know how to turn the crowd around. Good job," Corso said to Herbstreit. "Now you know how I feel at all these places."

Corso, who earlier in the season had predicted K-State would play in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, donned the Willie the Wildcat head predicting a K- State victory.

Before Corso transformed into Willie, four secu- rity guards stood behind Herbstreit because of his prediction — a Nebraska win. He said it would be unlikely for K-State to run the table.

"If they can win out, and win their last three games against their opponents that have a com- bined record of 24-5 today, they will be standing at the end and be in the Fiesta Bowl." Herbstreit said. "But, unfortunately — make sure they hear this — unfortunately, I don't see them winning all three games."

The Wildcats disappointed Herbstreit, but en- thralled their fans as they ended Nebraska's 29-year winning streak with a 40-30 win.

RENOVATION PROJECT PUTS A NEW FACE ON THE STUDENT UNION, BUT AS CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSED MOST CHANGES TOOK PLACE

WALLS

1 he K-State Student Union was born in 1956, but it was reborn in 1998, with the beginning of a $11.3 million renovation project.

Improvements included new and expanded restaurants in the food court, an expanded bookstore, a computer store, a convenience store, new living room furniture in the Cat's Pause and even a hair salon.

"It will include a significant enhancement of our building to provide services and programs to members of the K-State family," Pat Bosco, dean of student life, said.

The project began in 1994 when student leaders visited colleges, which had recently renovated their student unions. After the trips, the students developed and presented a proposal to Student Senate, which passed.

Keeping the Union open during construction required a plan. The contractors and Union directors formed a 16-stage development schedule.

"It's just like taking your house and doing a bedroom at a time and a living room, and you're going to go downstairs and do the lower level and then the garage, then the exterior," associate director Jack Connaughton said. "We have those kinds of plans, and there's a timetable."

Each section would be temporarily out of service while the whole could still function. That meant students sometimes had to find different entrances.

"It's an inconvenience never knowing which door is open or blocked off," Sheralyn Woolwine, senior in family science and human services, said. "I'm excited to see what it will look like when it is finished."

Although original plans included expansion, Connaughton said the project ran out of money. Revised plans only included internal renovations.

"Roughly 60 percent of the $11.3 million is behind the scenes on what we call infrastructure — plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning — to make us a more efficient building," Connaughton said.

Additions had last been made to the Union in the '60s and '70s.

"During the last 20 years, there have been a lot of building code changes and fire code changes," Union Director Bernard Pitts said. "Before we did anything cosmetic to the building, we were obligated to bring the building up to code."

A new safety feature included fire alarm activated skylights in the courtyard, in addition to asbestos removal and replacement of old wiring.

Renovation of the food court included several new restaurants, such as Burger King, a bagel deli and the expansion of existing establishments.

"In the new food court, because we have such limitations in the present one, we're able to now update and bring in more economical and efficient equipment," Paul Stolle, food service director, said.

Other plans included an outdoor seating area between the Union and Seaton Hall with a fountain and stage. The bookstore would also be reno- vated, adding 4,000-square feet of retail space.

The 24-month-long project was scheduled to be completed in spring 2000, which would not be early enough for Bosco.

"I'm a very impatient individual, and these things just take an enormous amount of time," he said. "I wanted things done yesterday."

Student creates wine for many reasons; the biggest is friendship

Adam Elliott didn't like the temperature changes in his apartment. It wasn't because he was too cold or too hot. It was because he couldn't store his wine there.

Out of curiosity, Elliott, senior in agronomy, began making his own wine. He said he stored most of the finished bottles in his parents' basement because of the constant temperature level, unlike his apartment.

Elliott made his first batch in 1995. Since then, he had made more than 25 batches. He began with a simple recipe his grandfather used.

"He took a couple of pop bottles, grape juice, yeast, some sugar and put a balloon on the top. That's about all he did," Elliott said. "When the balloon swelled up and then went back down, he knew it was ready."

Elliott said he didn't have any mishaps his first time making wine, but the end result was very bitter.

"The first time I did it, it definitely had alcohol in it, but it really didn't taste like anything," Elliott said. "It was pretty crude."

Donna Roberts, the manager of Ale-N-Vino, a home brewery supply store in Topeka, said people had different reasons for wanting to make their own wine.

"There're two good reasons people want to start," Roberts said. "The first is the experience of making wine and the hobby of it. The other is to save money."

After the $60 cost of a start-up kit purchased from a home brewery store, each bottle of wine cost be- tween 75 cents and $1 to make, Roberts said.

Elliott said his costs were less. Many of the wine bottles he used were given to him by friends, and he used recycled apple cider jugs for the fermenting process. He said in the four years he had been making wine, he spent between $50 and $60 on his supplies.

People became more interested in wine making due to increased availability of supplies from stores and the Internet and the health benefits, Roberts said.

"It is now known to lower cholesterol and the blood sugar level," he said. "I also think people are getting back to old-time experimentation."

Since his first try, Elliott said he had refined his process. Part of his improvement was due to the use of a hygrometer, a device used to measure sugar concen- tration, in order to find the optimal concentration for yeast fermentation. Elliott said he also discovered combining fresh fruit, such as apples, mulberries and plums with grape juice, improved the taste.

Luella Elliot, Adam's mother, said Adam's recent wine was better than his first attempts.

"The first ones you could barely drink," she said. "He's improved a lot, and now you can enjoy a nice- size glass of wine."

Jace Kohlmeier, a friend of Elliott's who tried his wine, said he was impressed with his ability.

"It's pretty tasty," Kohlmeier, senior in computer science, said. "I'm not a big wine drinker, but the times I have had it, it has been better than what I have bought at the store."

After making wine for four years, Elliott said it became expected of him.

"I pick out a bottle of wine to have at Thanksgiv- ing," he said. "I guess it's started a tradition, and now it's one of the reasons I keep doing it."

Elliott said he shared wine making with his friends.

"We get together one evening if they have any- thing to talk about and talk for a couple of hours while we are getting set up," he said. "When you are done, you both get to enjoy the fruits of your friendship."

Making wine was part of his life, and Elliott said it would continue as his hobby.

"I definitely see myself continuing. It gives a nice end result," Elliott said. "If I have an evening, I can make a batch and set it aside. It's a relaxing hobby."

Parties were more than places to drink for non-drinking students

Students chose to quit boozing.

According to Bill Arck, Alcohol and Drug Education director, a recent Harvard survey concluded 18 percent of students had either never drank alcohol or had not drank in the past year.

"Overall, I think more and more students are choosing not to drink," Arck said. "Excessive drinking is down also. Most students I see who have received a DUI are usually right around a .1 blood-alcohol level. There aren't too many knee-stumbling arrests such as a .2 or .3."

The harmful effects of alcohol consumption swayed some students to not drink, Thomas Casper, junior in journalism and mass communications, said.

"I don't drink because I know the physical harms, like liver damage and brain loss," he said. "But my decision is based mostly on my faith in Jesus Christ."

Harmful mental effects also diverted students' interests, Marcie Mamura, freshman in English, said.

"I don't want to because I want to be in control" she said. "It's not worth it to me to lose advantages and opportunities in my life because of drinking."

With the Aggieville bar district located one block from campus, students were constantly reminded of the availability of alcohol .

"I transferred here from Missouri Southern, which is a small school with no dance club or bar scene," Casper said. "So people had to drive 2-1/2 hours if

they wanted to party. I think there is definitely more of a pressure to participate in drinking with Aggieville right around the corner."

Only three clubs in Aggieville were 18 and older

with the majority of clubs only providing service to

individuals 21 and older. Students under the legal age

could still attend off-campus

parties, which Mamura said

posed less pressure to drink.

"I'm only a freshman, so I can't get into a lot of bars, but at the parties I've gone to, I've never felt any pressure to drink," Mamura said. "I think there is probably less pressure to drink now than there was in high school. So I think you can go to parties and still have a good time."

Those who chose not to drink sometimes basedtheir decision on nothing more than its superficial qualities.

"Personally I don't even like

the taste of it," Rich Smith,

sophomore in journalism and mass

communications, said, "plus that it

makes you act stupid."

In 1996, there were 99 DUI arrests on campus. In two years, that number shrunk to only 10 DUIs from Aug. 1 to Dec. 31. No alcohol-related accidents were reported on campus, but Smith said an accident was perhaps the most severe penalty for drinking.

"1 would hate for me to be the person my friends have to grieve over from dying in an accident related to alcohol," he said.

Overall, I think more and more

students are

choosing not to

drink. Excessive

drinking is down

also.

STUDENTS WENT TO GREAT LENGTHS TO FIND A PARKING SPOT ON CAMPUS. THOSE WHO WERE SERIOUS ABOUT IT SOMETIMES WAITED HOURS.

SHARKS

he shark waited. Sitting perfectly still, it watched, sometimes for more than an hour, waiting for its prey. All at once, it saw an opportunity — an unsuspecting victim. It stalked, waiting for the perfect time to attack.

But this shark did not want to kill. It only wanted to park.

Parking sharks cruised parking lots across campus, in front of the K-State Student Union, by McCain Auditorium and in the lot west of Memorial Stadium. Students waited at the ends of rows for open parking spaces.

"I usually leave around an hour to an hour and a half early," Daniel'e Taylor, sophomore in theater, said. "Especially on days when it rains or snows. Those days are especially hard to find a spot."

Taylor drove to class everyday. She said she learned which lots to avoid and in which lots she would sometimes be able to find a spot.

"By Cardwell, I won't bother," she said. "I stick to the McCain and museum parking lot and Old Stadium. I know I can get a spot — well, usually."

Taylor said drivers had unspoken rules for parking spaces.

"It's kind of like parking etiquette," she said. "Whoever gets there first, gets the spot."

Turning on a blinker was the main way to claim a parking spot, Taylor said. But she said not all drivers followed the rules.

"One time, I had been waiting half an hour for a spot, and I had my blinker on," Taylor said. "But some gentleman drove around the corner, passed the car that was pulling out, and took my spot. I had to wait another hour for a spot. That was very frustrating, but I left a note on his car."

Alissa Hoover, sophomore in business administration, said she learned the times to avoid driving to campus.

"I usually drive in the mornings," Hoover said. "But I know when I go in the afternoon, I'll have to wait."

Darwin Abbott, director of Parking Services, said 7,560 student permits were sold, while 7,541 spaces were allotted for those permits.

"Obviously, students are wanting to park in certain lots," he said. "The lots by Durland and obviously the Union are always full, but they just don't want to go to other lots."

Mike Westenmeyer, sophomore in business administration, said he gave up trying to find a parking spot on campus. He bought a motorcycle because he thought it would be easier to find a place to park.

"With a motorcycle, you can just pull up, find a spot and walk to class," he said. "It's much easier."

Westenmeyer said even when he did drive his car to campus, he didn't have the patience to wait for a parking spot.

"I'm not a parking shark," he said. "Personally, I don't like to sit there and do nothing. I'd rather start walking to class than be sitting there waiting for a spot to open up."

Westenmeyer said he was often unable to find an open spot.

"It's always difficult to find a spot," he said. "It just sucks, basically."

hen going home for Christmas break, some students drove half an hour. Others flew to another state. Rutcharin Limsupavanich traveled through 13 times zones.

Limsupavanich, a native of Bangkok, Thailand, came to K-State in 1996 to pursue her doctorate in meat science. She said being from a foreign country required her to adjust to the culture and language.

"In Thailand we speak Thai, and all the textbooks are in Thai," she said. "1 wasn't used to the English. I can usually understand what people say. It's just hard to figure out what they really mean."

Limsupavanich assisted Don Kropf, professor of animal science and industry, with his Fresh Meat Operations class in fall 1998. Kropf praised

Limsupavanich for being mature and well adjusted.

"She's extremely thorough and defi- nitely the kind of person to volunteer more than I expected," he said. "People in Thai- land expect a lot out of these students, and I don't think they are going to be disap- pointed with her."

After finishing her doctoral studies, Limsupanvanich said she wanted to return to Thailand.

"I am on scholarship from our govern- ment, and I have to pay it back," she said. "I want to take my knowledge back and help my country if I can."

Being so far away from her family was difficult, she said. She typically traveled home once a year to see her family. To help her deal with homesickness, Limsupavanich said she attended Thai Student Association activities.

"There are about 24 students here, and we get together to talk, and if we have time, we try to have dinner together," she said.

Another student who knew what it was like to be far from home was Loubnat Affane, junior in hotel and restaurant management and anthropol- ogy. Affane left her home in the Comoros Islands in 1996 to pursue her education at K-State.

When she arrived in Kansas, she was shocked by the landscape, Affane said.

"What you see on TV is the big cities, and I expected it to be all big cities," she said. "When I came to this town, I was shocked to see a place like this existed."

Affane said she came from a family with six children and was the only one to come to the United States to study.

"They think it is a good thing that I get a chance to come here, and I'm learning," she said. "It's a good experience for me because I'm learning a lot I wouldn't have if I would have stayed at home."

Affane said she talked to her parents every two weeks but tried to restrict herself because an overseas call averaged $1 per minute

"Leaving your family is like one big goodbye, because you might see each other. You might not," she said. "That is what hurts. When you leave one place to go to another place, you leave with courage, and you leave with hope. The hope that when you go back you'll find things the way they were, and you'll see your family still alive and all right."

That is what has helped me, not being shy," she said. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

Two professors write hook using Coanh Snyder's

When Susan Scott, associate dean of student life, attended a high school leadership conference at K-State in February 1998, she said she did not expect to leave with an idea for a book.

After all, the featured speaker at the confer- ence was football coach Bill Snyder. She assumed he would only talk about how to win football games and how to be a leader in the world of sports, but he dispelled those stereotypes.

After hearing Snyder's insight on leadership, Scott approached Robert Shoop, professor of edu- cation administration and leadership, who had written several books. They took the idea to Snyder, hoping it could be used as a classroom teaching tool. It materialized as "Leadership Les- sons From Bill Snyder."

"The book is basically written for anyone inter- ested in going from where they are to some goal," Shoop said. "It's an inspiring story about what a person can do if they make a commitment and make specific steps to their goal."

Snyder made his mark on the football field when he was named Paul "Bear" Bryant National Coach of the Year for his labors with the football team, and now he made his mark in the classroom by helping develop a course of study.

"I was really interested in what Bob and Susan had done with the leadership program," Snyder said. "I think it's important for young people to have an opportunity to develop leadership skills."

The book was based on Snyder's set of 20 leadership lessons, which ranged from attaining goals to making decisions.

The book had six chapters with each contain- ing a lesson pertaining to the chapter's title. Shoop and Scott wrote a commentary from a theological perspective to follow each lesson.

"What Susan and I wanted to do was take the idea of leadership theory, as well as take conversa- tions with Coach Snyder, and put them together in a way that would be very user friendly," Shoop said.

Former players Kevin Lockett and Brooks Barta, Wildcat Sports Network announcer Greg Sharpe and Department of Intercollegiate Athlet-

ics director Max Urick contributed to the book, referring to ways Snyder's influence altered their lives.

Both Scott and Shoop taught a two-hour course as part of the leadership studies minor program called Introduction to Leadership Con- cepts.

"As a student, you can use the different pro- cesses to gain success in both the classroom and in the future," Melissa Schamber, freshman in open option, said. "The book is really accurate with what anyone should do, with respect to setting goals."

The profits from the sale of more than 15,000 books were donated to K-State in equal amounts to three areas: Hale Library, the student-athlete leadership fund and the leadership studies pro- gram.

With the money the leadership studies pro- gram received, it rented a house close to campus in order to have an official office, Scott said.

Both Scott and Shoop said the book benefited anyone striving to become a leader.

"Leadership is an issue that is confusing for many people," Shoop said. "Everyone has the potential to lead, and leadership can be taught."

By Robert J. Shoop and Susan M. Scott

"Leadership Lessons from Bill Snyder" was found in stores and in the classroom for Introduction to Leadership Concepts. "What con- vinced Coach Snyder to be involved with the project is that he is really committed to the students of Kan- sas State," Robert Shoop, professor of education administration and leadership, said. "When he learned that the book would be used as a textbook in the undergraduate pro- gram, that's when he made the commitment." The book was used beyond K-State everywhere from businesses to churches, Susan Scott, associate dean of student life, said. Scott and Shoop used Sny- der's principles of leadership throughout the book.

HOOPS FOR HUNGER AND OTHER SERVICE PROJECTS CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DURING OBSERVANCE WEEK.

LIVES ON

, \ early two weeks of events and community service projects Jan. 9-22 celebrated the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr.

Hoops for Hunger, a benefit for the Flint Hills Breadbasket was added to the week's celebration. The event pitted celebrities from the media and community against each other in a single-elimination shootout during halftime at the women's Jan. 13 basketball game.

"It was something I had been playing with in my head for a few years," Keener Tippin, co-chair for the Martin Luther King Jr. Observance Commit- tee, said. "I'd been thinking about doing it but never had a platform to do it on. Since we were focusing on community service, I thought it'd be a good year to put it together. I wanted it to be a success, but I really didn't know how it would go. The support from the community was overwhelming."

Fans donated more than 3,700 pounds of food and raised about $1,000, Tippin said.

"We just wanted to show people, or get people to realize hunger isn't something that goes away," Tippin said. "It's something that's a constant need, and we just wanted to use the King holiday to focus on Dr. King's belief to help out your fellow man."

Leo Prieto, senior in pre-law and Spanish, participated in the event.

"I don't even know if I can explain the feeling of just seeing all of these different people from different areas in the commu- nity and the media get together for a com- mon cause," he said. "That cause that day was to give back, whether it was food, non-perishable items or donations for the betterment of the commu- nity. Yeah, we were all competitive, but at the same time, we all knew it was a good cause."

The first observance week community service project was Jan. 18. About 200 volunteers shampooed carpets, worked at Stoneybrook Retirement Community or picked up litter in parks for two-hour shifts throughout the day, said Pat Hudgins, co-chair for the Martin Luther King Jr. Observance Committee. Hudgins said participating in the events was important for all students, faculty and community members.

"It's a volunteer thing," she said. "They've got to see that it's an observance that's important to them, and if they don't, they choose not to participate. It's as important as President's Day is to some people and Independence Day is to some people. It's not a black holiday, it's a Federal holiday, and it's just as important for us to observe." About 150 people attended a candlelight vigil at All Faiths Chapel fol-

lowing a memorial walk Jan. 18, Prieto said.

"It was really well put together. The historically black fraternities put it together, and it was nice," he said. "It was really good. Somebody came and said a few words and got everybody excited. It was nice to see Martin Luther King's legacy still lives today as we know it."

The keynote speaker for the observance, Dick Gregory, a civil-rights activist, spoke at McCain Auditorium Jan. 21. Gre- gory spoke about the need for people to stand up for what is right. He also talked about racism in the United States and specifically at K- State when he criticized the nickname of the football team's defense, "Lynch Mob."

"This has been the most vicious sexist, racist society that has ever existed on this planet," he said. "We do

stuff in this country that would make Hitler blush."

Tippin said the speech was controversial, but Gregory made important points.

"I think a lot of people had a closed mind to what he was saying," he said. "Dick Gregory, to me personally, is one of my all-time favorite heroes, so I was glad to see him come here. I think he's a man who has remained true to the human-rights activities throughout his entire career."

Prieto received the Commerce Bank award, which recognized distin- guished service to multicultural education, Jan. 20. The award was presented during the observance week because it represented Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideals, Prieto said.

"It was an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as Martin Luther King Jr. and to be a part of that," he said. "It was a part of the week. The award kind of symbolizes his efforts for the betterment of others and of society."

Prieto said he participated in the observance events because he believed in King's message

"I've always kind of followed Dr. Martin Luther King's philosophy," he said. "I've always been a strong follower of him, his peaceful demonstra- tions, what he's done to this country, and I just thought it was the least I could do. That's not enough, though. To preach it and practice it is the goal."

Student battles to protect rights, finds value in First Amendment.

Keen Umbehr won a Supreme Court case before he even entered law school.

In 1992, Umbehr, freshman in political science, sued the Wabaunsee County commissioners when they tried to close his trash-hauling company, Solid Waste Systems, in response to his critical columns about them in The Single Enterprise newspaper.

"I knew well the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment, especially the Constitution," Umbehr said. "I knew I was well within my rights to write what I was writing."

Umbehr criticized the commissioners for raising landfill fees without just cause.

"I researched everything and found there was no basis for the 100-percent increase," he said. "They just thought it was the right amount."

Umbehr took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor in 1996. The case expanded First Amendment rights for independent contractors to speak out against the government.

Umbehr lived with his wife, Eileen, and two of their four sons, in Alma, Kan. But he said living outside the country gave him appreciation for the United States' freedoms.

"Growing up in Nigeria and Angola, the First Amendment wasn't just something you learned about. It wasn't just a cliche," he said. "It was real. It was alive. Because all the way from first grade to when I was a senior in high school, I never got the American experience."

Though he returned to his trash-hauling business after the ruling, Umbehr said his experiences with law and politics stayed with him.

"Life seemed very boring," he said. "I couldn't get excited over anything. I liked the conflict and research of the courtroom."

What he needed, Umbehr said, was to become a lawyer. He sold his company Jan. 4, and started classes in the spring, earning credits toward a political science degree. Eventually, he said he planned to

study law at Washburn University and represent other First Amendment cases.

"It's good going back to school," Umbehr said. "I would suggest it to any adult. Other students ask me questions because, for some reason, they think I know it all."

His wife, Eileen, said his decision to go back to school had a positive effect on their family.

"Before, he went to bed at 6 or 7 and got up at 2," she said. "Now our whole life has changed because it's become more normal. I'm really enjoying having a husband who doesn't fall asleep during dinner or the news."

Although going to school gave Umbehr more family time, Eileen said they made adjustments to compensate for expenses and the income loss.

"Basically, we're living on the money left over from the business and being very frugal," she said. "In a joking way, we're kind of praying God will bless us with another 'loaves and fishes' meal."

But Eileen said Keen made the right decision.

"I've always felt he was wasting his talents," she said. "Working with your hands is nothing to be ashamed of, but it's hurt me to see him have to work so hard. I feel he's a real deep thinker, and I'm very happy he gets to apply that."

Dick Seaton, university attorney who represented Umbehr in court, said Umbehr's career choice suited his personality.

"Keen's a very unusual guy," Seaton said. "He takes things like the First Amendment very seriously — much more seriously than the average person. I have no doubt he will make a success of his career change."

Umbehr said he didn't regret his decision.

"I love politics," he said. "I want to make a differ- ence. I know how to get things done the right way. If you like to do something, you do it well. I firmly believe that when you do the right thing, God makes a way for everything to happen."

PARTICIPANTS TAKE THE ULTIMATE PLUNGE INTO 46-DEGREE WATER TO WIN AWARDS, HELP RAISE MONEY FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS GAMES.

WATERS

t was not an average day at the beach when 46 people took the plunge into 46-degree water.

Polar Bear Plunge participants lined the waterfront at Tuttle Creek State Park River Pond Feb. 27, and at the sound of the gun, ran into the water. Some were in the water only for a second. Others, like Tula's Out of Bound Sports Bar and Grill team, took its time in hopes of winning the Deepest Plunge Trophy. Either way, everyone got wet to raise funds for the Special Olympics.

"I thought this was for a good cause. I had always wanted to do a plunge," said Paul Dillbeck, junior in philosophy and member of the Tula's team. "It was more physically than mentally challenging.

"When I first hit the water I couldn't breathe, I was in shock," he said. "It freaked me out a bit. The extremely cold water made me realize how easily someone could drown."

The 2 p.m. community event was part of the Kansas Law Enforcement Torch Run and was sponsored by Tuttle Creek State Park, Riley County Emergency Medical Service and Police Department, Glen Elders Lions Club, Kansas Wildlife and Parks Department, and Kickers Saloon & Grill. Each participant paid a $50 entry fee and was encouraged to raise additional funds. The plungers raised $5,200.

"I was very pleased with the event," said event coordintaor Lt. Mike Quintanar, of the Riley County Police Department. "This is the first year for this event, and we basically went into this blind. I really didn't know what to expect, especially for Kansas. We just aren't known for polar plunges." After the event, plungers gathered at Kickers Saloon & Grill for the presentation of nine awards, including Best Costume and Deepest Plunge.

Participants dressed in a variety of outfits but most stripped to bathing suits. Quintanar's wife, Cheri, and son, Miles, dressed as Fred and Wilma Flintstone and received the Best Costume award.

"They didn't tell me the whole time this was going on what they were going to be dressed as," Quintanar said. "They kept it a surprise the whole time."

To receive the Deepest Plunge Award, a plunger had to swim to a buoy marked with an orange flag.

"It was a blast. I was excited to get into the water because we had been looking at it for so long," said Israel Cunningham, senior in social science and Tula's Team member. "We decided before the plunge we were going to get the Deepest Plunge Award. My mind was set on getting the flag on the buoy the entire time."

Although Cunningham did not get to the buoy first, his teammate Jason Wheeler claimed it as the team's trophy.

Haymaker, Marlatt, Moore and Putnam halls represented residence halls. Quintanar said he was happy with K-State's participation but said he was surprised no greek organizations and only seven females participated.

"I think our area here really has a lot of potential to make this a statewide event, to make it big," he said. "I would like to shoot for $10,000 for next year's plunge. We are looking at doubling the money and doubling the size."

EXPLOSION

An explosion at the DeBruce Grain Inc. elevator killed five people and injured 11.

Tons of falling debris trapped employ- ees, who were working in tunnels under the elevator, located southwest of Wichita.

A spark that ignited highly explosive grain dust was the apparent cause of the blast.

"Last year there were 16 grain elevator explosions in the United States with one fatality and 14 injuries, so this exceeds any- thing I've seen in a while," Tim Herrman, extension leader for the K-State depart- ment of grain science and industry, said.

Rescue teams made their way through an 800-foot section of one of the four 1,200- foot tunnels underneath the complex,

where men were believed to have been working when the explosion took place about 9:20 a.m.

The crews, working in three-man teams, used ultrasound and infrared equipment to guide their search.

The first two fatalities were discovered the day of the explosion, and rescuers found the remains of three more people two days later.

Because harvest had just begun, the workers were believed to be moving grain at the time of the explosion.

In December, DeBruce appealed a $1.7 million fine imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for safety violations related to the explosion.

Brian R. Rodrigues, 20, stationed at Fort Riley, was stabbed about 11 p.m. in Aggieville.

He was inside Last Chance when an altercation began, witnesses said.

Police arrested Carl William Mims for aggravated battery. He was later released on $25,000 bond.

Blanca Alcantar said she and the victim were together inside the bar when the assailant, who neither knew, approached them.

"He came up to me and said, 'Did you break the bottle?' and I said that I didn't know what he was talking about," Alcantar said. "Then he threw beer on me and hit me, so we went after him to see what his problem was, and my friend got stabbed."

Lt. Herb Crosby of the Riley County Police Department said the suspect fled from the scene of the stabbing and went into Silverado Saloon. Witnesses followed him into the bar. The suspect requested that the police be called, and then exited Silverado through a back door. Mims was found hiding under a car in a parking lot south of the Silverado.

Rodrigues was transported to the intensive care unit at Mercy Health Center on College Avenue.

Mims did not appear for his arraignment April 29 in Riley County District Court. Riley County Attorney Bill Kennedy said, at that time, no charges had been filed against Mims due to a lack of verifiable facts.

Kappa Alpha Psi was suspended in- definitely after an apparent hazing incident left alumnus, Ernest L. Harris Jr., in the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Harris, a December 1997 graduate, sus- tained back and kidney injuries after he was allegedly beaten at the home of a Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity member. Harris recovered after spending several days in the intensive care unit of the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Harris' father, Ernest Harris Sr., said after the beating that his son's injuries seemed to be caused by a severe beating or lashing with a paddle.

The chapter was suspended indefi-

nitely by Pat Bosco, dean of student life.

Bosco said the chapter violated the K- State Student Conduct Code. The code de- fined hazing as "an act which endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student . . . for the purpose of initiation, admission into, affiliation with, or as a con- dition for continued membership in, a group or organization."

Bosco said he treated the fraternity as he would any other student organization.

"We don't tolerate this kind of activ- ity," he said. "Never have, never will."

In October after reviewing the incident, Riley County Attorney Bill Kennedy said charges wouldn't be filed.

Millions of viewers and 50,530 fans in Busch Stadium watched Sept. 7 as Mark McGwire launched his 61st home run over the left field wall, tying Roger Maris' home-run record.

They watched as the St. Louis Cardinal rounded bases, hugged his son Matt and saluted the Maris family seated on the first-base side. Groundskeepers replaced the bases after McGwire rounded the bases.

It was an event many will remember for years, Matt Dwyer, sopho- more in pre-law, said.

"It was something momentous. My parents remember Roger Maris hitting his 61st, and I remember McGwire breaking the record," Dwyer said. "It will be something I can tell people I remember about my lifetime."

McGuire ended the season with 70 home runs, setting the new major league record.

The chase between McGwire and Chicago Cub Sammy Sosa to tie, or surpass, Maris' mark provided an enthusiasm for major league baseball it had lacked for several years, Dan Merker, senior in computer science, said.

"It reminds us that sports are fun, and we're all little kids at heart," Merker said. "It finally brought intensity back to baseball that has been missing since the strike in 1994."

University officials went to Atlanta in September to argue against sanctioning K- State for rules violations. Five months later, the NCAA reached a decision.

The NCAA announced Feb. 18 the De- partment of Intercollegiate Athletics' pro- bation would be extended for one year as a result of recruitment violations involving running back Frank Murphy.

"Frank Murphy has suffered from this episode and has acknowledged his respon- sibility for not exercising appropriate judg- ment," Coach Bill Snyder said. "He can now put the ordeal behind him."

After the department learned boosters gave Murphy money, they suspended him for four games and made him return the car

)hy violations

he purchased and donate the money.

The probation did not result in loss of scholarships or other on-field penalties.

Although the violation fell within a five-year period of rules violations in 1994 and 1997, the NCAA did not to impose repeat-violator penalties.

"In what is a model of institutional re- sponsibility, its staff immediately notified the NCAA and then launched an intensive investigation," Bonnie Slatton, acting chairwoman of the NCAA's Division I Committee on Infractions, said. "As soon as they had knowledge, they reacted quickly and decisively, and we saw no need for additional penalties."

THEATRE

\J o w O Ct I

Aggieville's Campus Theatre, a histori- cal and popular hangout for students since the 1920s, shut down July 16 after its last showing of "City of Angels."

Fred Vannoy, vice president and gen- eral manager of Carmike Cinemas, said the closing was the nature of the business.

"It's difficult for single-screen theaters to generate profit," he said. "They're not as efficient as multiple-screen complexes."

Dan Walter, textbook manager at Varney's Book Store and Aggieville histo- rian, said the closing would have a big effect on Aggieville. It first opened May 1, 1926, as Miller Theatre. Later, it changed to Varsity Theatre, Sosna Theatre and finally to Campus Theatre in 1951, Walter said.

"It's an important piece of Aggieville history," he said. "It was always a big deal."

Despite student discounts at the two re- maining theaters, many students said they missed seeing movies in Manhattan for $1.

"It's close. It's cheap. They showed good movies," Lance Truesdell, junior in open option, said. "I can't imagine how students are going to react to this."

Tara Ballard, senior in speech, said the theater made a nice alternative for students.

"It was even cheaper to go to the theater than to rent a movie," she said.

Varney's Book Store purchased the the- ater in December to expand their children's section.

COACH

J 1-6-98

K-State's most successful basketball coach died of apparent heart failure while vacationing in Santa Fe, N.M.

Jack Hartman, 72, coached the men's team from 1970 to 1986 with a record of 295-169.

Sports Information director Kent Brown said Hartman remained a faithful fan of the basketball program.

"He would drop notes to Tom (Asbury) about what he saw on the floor," Brown said. "He had coached so long, he noticed things that other people wouldn't. He was a good sounding board for Asbury."

Coach Asbury said Hartman would be missed.

"The older guys all know him," Asbury said. "Not only did they know who he was, they knew him, because Jack was around all the time. He was in the office, and he was at practice, and he was at gatherings."

President Jon Wefald said he knew Hartman personally, and Hartman had continued to remain active after retiring.

Hartman led the Wildcats to three Big 8 Conference titles, two Big 8 tournaments and nine seasons with 20 or more wins. His 31-year coaching record was 589-279. The National Association of Basketball Coaches named Hartman Coach of the Year after the 1981 season, when K-State made it to the NCAA West Regional Finals.

Gov. Bill Graves' re-election ended a 36- year jinx on Republican governors in Kan- sas.

Graves, 45, won with 73 percent of the votes, which made him the first Republican governor to be elected to a second term in 36 years. He also set a record for the widest margin of victory in a Kansas governor's race.

"There have been some fine, fine people who have gone down this path and not had this much success," Graves said.

Graves said his success was not due to political campaigning.

"I believe our success has little to do with politics and a lot to do with delivering great public service to the people of Kan-

sas," Graves said.

A candidate who succeeds at the polls but fails at public service is, ultimately, a failure in office, Graves said.

"I believe our success has little to do with politics and a lot to do with delivering great public service to the people of Kan- sas," he said.

Graves said Democratic opponent Tom Sawyer ran a good campaign and said he spoke with him briefly before delivering his speech.

"I commended him on a fine cam- paign," he said at his acceptance speech al the Kansas Expocenter, "and I wished hirr the best."

Delta Delta Delta sorority pleaded guilty of violating the Greek Affairs hazing policy during house activities Oct. 26, ac- cording to documents released by the Of- fice of the University Attorney Feb. 9.

Jennifer Kassebaum, associate univer- sity attorney, released three pieces of corre- spondence among representatives of Tri- Delt, the sorority's national office and Panhellenic Council. The letters detailed allegations made against the sorority for new member activities. They also listed the punishments imposed after a December hearing with the council.

According to a letter from council Presi- dent Lindsey Roy to former chapter presi- dent Lori West, Tri-Delt violated the physi-

cal abuse and improper requirements sec- tions of the Greek Affairs policy. Examples of abuse included paddle swats of any na- ture, including the "trading of swats" with active members, according to the letter.

After the Dec. 1 hearing, Panhellenic Council Executive Board agreed with the guilty plea and supported sanctions im- posed by Tri-Delt's national organization. It did not impose additional sanctions.

The sanctions imposed on the sorority by the national organization limited the sorority's social functions and required the implementation of various education pro- grams. The house was on social probation until January 2000.

an ate vote

After a month-long impeachment trial, President Bill Clinton was acquitted on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.

The charges stemmed from Kenneth Star's investigation into Clinton's affair with former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.

Showing unanimous support of Clinton, all 45 Democratic senators voted not guilty in the 50 to 50 vote on obstruction of justice as well as the 55 not guilty to 45 guilty vote on perjury charges.

Jim Franke, associate professor of po- litical science, said the partisan vote and outcome were not suprising, and it would have been hard to achieve the two-thirds required vote.

"Both ways it was almost a straight party-line vote," Franke said. "It wasn't even that close. There were never enough votes in the Senate."

Franke said the final result of the trial reflected what the American public wanted.

"The Republicans couldn't figure it out during the election of 1996, or through the whole trial that these were not new charges against Clinton," he said. "Many Ameri- cans didn't even want it to get out of the House, they just wanted it to go away."

Clinton, only the second president in United States history to endure an im- peachment trial, was at the White House when the votes were cast.

More than 200 student candidates filed for positions in the 1999-2000 Student Governing Association general elections, which was more candi- date filings than in the past five years.

There were seven tickets for student body president and vice president and 148 candidates for the 60 Senate positions.

The increase in numbers was due to increased publicity and word of mouth on campus, Gayle Spencer, coordinator of student activities, said.

"We've had lots of people go out and talk to students one on one to explain what we do and why they should consider getting involved," Spencer said. "We tried to hit some of the living organizations and tell them about the opportunities also."

Senate Vice Chair Jake Worcester said three main components contrib- uted to the response. They included the election advertising, the personal aspect of educating people as to why they needed to serve and opportu- nities that existed. Spencer said postponing the deadline one week also contributed to the increased volume of applicants.

Sarah Dillingham, adviser to the Elections Committee, said the num- bers reflected an increase in overall campus involvement.

"This is so wonderful. Students are showing that they want to get involved within their majors and on campus," she said. "This should have a positive impact on K-State."

Todd Simon, director of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communi- cations, mandated Feb. 4 that the show, which played urban music, be moved to an 8 p.m. to midnight timeslot to accommo- date listeners.

Claeys said he thought the decision was made because of pressure from the Black

Student Union or Mordean Taylor-Archer, associate provost for multicultural affairs. Taylor-Archer said there was no pressure. The decision ignited a campus-wide debate over when the show should air.

The station's problems did not end there. An internal audit, which was re- leased at the end of February, found the station spent $59,176 in May for Springfest '98, an outdoor concert featuring Tone Loc. They had expected to spend $15,000 to $18,000. Booking last-minute bands and giving out complimentary passes contrib- uted to the cost.

The report also found Springfest '98 was not the only cause of KSDB's debt. In January 1998, Len Potillo, the station man-

ager at the time, entered into a lease of a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. A fraudulent invoice was used to pay $499 of the down payment. Be- cause the vehicle was to be used for univer- sity business, a university official should have signed the lease. The report also found cellular phones were used with expenses totaling $7,600 during 1998 fiscal year.

On Feb. 25, Student Senate passed two bills to allocate money to the radio station, which would have shut down without addi- tional funds.

The privilege fee reserves account would be used to make a one-time allocation of $29,825 to help alleviate the station's debt. Other legislation involved increasing the amount KSDB received from privilege fees.

The $5.3 million donated by Alice Fiedler in honor of her husband went toward the construction of Fiedler Hall to give more space to engineering students. New dance studios opened in Nichols Hall, uniting the Department of Speech Communication, Theatre and Dance. The two facilities would house classes into the next century but were only part of the preface to the millennium. They were a step forward, remind- ing students why they went to class.

Classes

Students in Jeff Wilson's scuba diving class learned to reach the depths of the sea in landlocked Kansas.

Six students in each of two classes focused on preparing for Open Water certification during four-hour class periods Sept. 14-Oct. 24 in the Natatorium.

Wilson said most students took the UFM class to learn skills for upcoming trips.

"Most of my students took the class because they are planning a trip to the Caribbean," Wilson said. "I've had several students who took the class looking for a new experience."

Wilson said traditional students usually took the course as part of their class schedules, while older students took it for enjoyment.

"About 60 percent of my students are traditional students taking the class for credit," he said, "but I do have some students that are older who want a new challenge."

One of those students was Wayne Bailie, retired professor of microbiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine.

"I've always felt you need to keep expanding your mind," Bailie said. "Scuba diving was one way that I thought I could broaden my horizons."

Students had the opportunity to become certified in scuba diving and learn to handle emergencies.

"The hardest part of the class was going to the bottom of the pool and taking off the equipment and putting it back on," Matthew Birney, senior in life sciences, said. "It is difficult to maneuver the equipment around."

Amy Grasser, senior in elementary education, said scuba diving was for anyone interested in exploring the world around them.

"I am really excited at the chance to explore the ocean and see all of the different kinds of fish and the coral reefs," she said. "I think scuba diving is something that you can enjoy, and you can take it with you throughout your life."

high schools

from a distance

[*A*i

hundreds of miles away from cam- pus, students still learned Spanish from Chuck Thorpe's classroom.

High schools without resources to employ Spanish teachers found a solu- tion with Spanish via Satellite, which broadcasted from Dole Hall to 129 high schools in 13 states.

"Most of our schools are in rural ar- eas," Deb Wood, marketing director, said. "For a Spanish teacher to come and teach Spanish I and II for maybe 10 students, they're not going to be able to

afford to pay some- one to do that."

During its first 10 years of service, the course had 22,000 students. Wood said the program looked to- ward us- ing the In- ternet in the spring as a way to bridge the distance between students.

"We want to give the students easy access to the program," she said. "Then they can interact through chat rooms and bulletin boards."

Thorpe worked with the program since its beginning. He said it was never an issue that he taught to a camera.

"It's never been that big of a problem because I've never really thought of it that way," he said. "We talk to the stu- dents often enough. We have visits from them often enough. We talk to them on the phone often enough. I'm teaching to my students."

Wood said Thorpe was only on air about four hours a week, 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. for Spanish I and 1:30 to 2:15 p.m.

During production of Spanish via Satellite, Aaron Fisher, junior in mass communications; Jake Kluge, senior in mass communications; and Amy Grieshaber, senior in mass communi- cations, run the control room in Dole Hall. The program was broadcasted to small high schools in Kansas and states as far away as Virginia and Oregon. (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

for Spanish 2 on Tuesdays and Thurs- days, but he had to spend a lot of time preparing for class.

"He pretty much must plan the broadcast every minute because we've got 45 minutes to teach," Wood said. "He's got to have a run down for that broadcast for things to run smoothly."

Students helped with the technicali- ties of the broadcast. Amy Grieshaber, senior in mass communications, worked on the student crew as part of the graph- ics team, training to become a technical director for the broadcast.

"It's the experience," she said. "It's an excellent resume piece. This is my major, and if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have stayed."

Schools provided a teaching partner. The certified teacher was present during broadcasts and worked with students on non-broadcast days. Thorpe said he asked them to be a co-learner.

"As an adult, they bring all the advan- tages of someone who's already a good learner to the process," he said. "They (the students) have someone in the class- room who's figuring out (the language) along with them."

Thorpe said distance learning wasn't a problem when his students performed as well as, if not better than, students who had taken Spanish in a classroom.

"I'm really tickled every once in awhile by how good a job some of the students will do," he said. "It's not that I don't have high expectations of them, but it's so rewarding when you know they really have done it."

Thorpe also said it was important to make students feel a part of the program.

"We try to personalize to the schools, give them a sense of ownership," he said. "We always say this — and in fact we've said it so often, it sounds like a catch phrase, something on a piece of advertising — but we say, 'This can' t just be K-State's Spanish class. This has to be your school's Spanish class.' "

The show went out to 129 high schools in 13 states across the nation as an alternative to a full-time Spanish teacher.

The new dean of veterinary medicine returned to his home- town.

Dr. Ralph Richard- son grew up in Man- hattan and graduated from K-State's Col- lege of Veterinary Medicine in 1960. He later became a captain in the U.S. Army Vet- erinary Corps and led clinical sciences at Purdue University.

Richardson said it wasn't in his plans to come back to K-State, but he welcomed the invitation.

"I'm really excited about the opportunity here for education programs and collab- oration/' he said. "This is a university that is on the move, and I like being associ- ated with that."

Richardson set long-term goals for the college.

"I'd like to see a programmatic focus that's recognized na- tionally and interna- tionally. In other words - excellence/' he said.

He was excited about the educational opportunities, but he also he had great ad- miration for the peo- ple.

"The people are great," Richardson said. "KSU has very special faculty, staff and students."

Colleague Dr. Ron- nie Elmore, associate dean of veterinary medicine, was pleased to be working with him.

"He's enthusiastic, competent," he said. "He could have gone to other places, but we're lucky he chose

Students could enroll online from the comfort of home with the new enrollment system. KATS was first available for spring semester enrollment, and 37 percent of students participated. (Photo illustration by Clif Palmberg)

"Enroll naked: Use KATS."

This message, featured in the Conspiracy Theory cartoon in the Oct. 21 Collegian, represented some students' apprehensions about enrolling with the new K-State Access Technology System. It also informed students the system was ready for spring enrollment.

Students could enroll electronically via KATS at K-State's web site, by phone or at a kiosk. The new system allowed access to drop or add classes, check grades, check schedules and update addresses.

"It started off a little slow since they extended the senior and graduate period," John Streeter, director of information systems, said. "The older people are less likely to use it, while younger people are more likely to use it. There is more growth as they enroll. It was around 20 percent, and it is 25 percent now. Those are reasonably impressive numbers."

The system was an alternative to waiting in line outside the enrollment center in Willard Hall where employees typed in schedules and students received printouts.

KATS was intended to replace the paper method of enrollment, Streeter said.

"We hope everyone will enroll that way," Streeter said. "We hope they will go into the enrollment center, or they can go anywhere on campus or at home."

Some students opted to use the traditional paper method instead of the new system.

"I heard that it was quick and simple," Kevin Wanklyn, junior in mechanical engineering, said. "I was worried about it being new. I guess I am just old-fashioned that way."

Other students preferred the new enrollment method.

"I didn't have to go out because it was raining that day," Nicki Tidball, senior in social work, said. "The best part was that it was quick."

KATS was installed through a joint effort between Info Solutions of Phoenix, Ariz., and the Office of Information Systems. The company created the initial development, and the university handled further developments.

The system was available in stages, beginning fall 1997. The online enrollment was the second phase and began with a pilot project in early October for spring enrollment. About 750 people enrolled, and the numbers gradually increased. Streeter said the pilot went smoothly, and there weren't any problems in the system its first semester.

"Try it. You'll like it," Streeter said. "There isn't any reason to worry about it. On the Web, you've got to do it yourself. Someone doesn't do it for you like at the enrollment center. If you like to do things yourself, this is a very good thing."

braid — 1 by carrie koehn

Hiding in Rathbone Hall was a machine that could revolutionize air- plane manufacturing by creating safer, du- rable components.

Led by Yougi Wang, assistant pro- fessor of mechanical engineering, a team of undergraduate and graduate students de- veloped a 3-D braid- ing machine that wove industrial mate- rials. Wang said this process was superior to the 2-D process.

"In 2-D, the layers must be stacked to- gether because they are thin like a sheet," Wang said. "This laminated material is at a disadvantage be- cause sometimes it cracks, and this de- lamination is the most common cause of structural fractures."

3-D braiding al- lowed the creation of shaped objects, like I- beams. This elimi- nated the chance of layers separating, which created safer structures.

Although not yet on the market, Wang remained hopeful.

"The design is still conceptual," she said. "But we feel it is supe- rior to what manufac- turers currently use."

Fiedler Hall is scheduled for completion by summer 2000 as the last phase in the engi- neering complex that includes Durland and Rathbone halls. The addition would house a library, auditorium, study rooms and the De- partment of Civil Engineering. Engineering books from Hale Library would be put there. "The first floor is really a place for learning and knowledge transfer," Terry King, dean of the College of Engineering, said. "I think the modern view of a library will be as a node of knowledge exchange." (Drawing provided by Peckham Guyton Albers & Viets, Inc.)

helping to

for the future

Alice Fiedler was born in New York, some- thing about her suggested she might have been a native Kansan.

Friends described Fiedler as gener- ous, sensitive and kind — an angel with heartland values. In a word, they said Fiedler was gracious.

At a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 2, Fiedler cut a purple ribbon to start construction of the $12 million, 75,000- square-foot Fiedler Hall and library. The hall was the third phase of the engi- neering complex, which included Durland and Rathbone halls. Fiedler donated $5.3 million to the project in honor of her husband, George, a 1926 graduate of the College of Engineering who died in 1988.

"He told me one time that he wanted to do something for Kansas State Uni- versity for the education he received," Fiedler said. "It's essential to get that education, and it's also important what you do with that education."

Plans for the project divided the ad- dition into three floors with the general spaces of the library, auditorium and study rooms on the first floor, civil engi- neering offices and labs on the second floor and civil labs in the basement. Fiedler's $5.3 million gift, another $1.7 million in private money and $5 million in state money would finance the project.

"The world is going forward; it's go- ing to take these people who are getting an education to do that," Fiedler said. "Without this ongoing education, this world would be stagnant. I think any- thing of the magnitude of Fiedler Hall is

certainly something to enhance that ed- ucation."

The interior would feature a two- story lobby outside the auditorium and a balcony on the second floor looking through the two-story space to Rath- bone Hall's atrium.

The project was expected to be com- pleted by summer 2000.

"The first floor will be an integrated knowledge nexus," said Terry King, dean of the College of Engineering. "The library and the auditorium will have the capability to be connected to anywhere live in the world."

The library would contain Hale Li- brary's engineering books and journal collection.

Dan Rathbone, dean emeritus of en- gineering and director of the National Institute for Land Management and Training, served on the building com- mittee as Alice Fiedler's representative since his retirement.

"I think our complex, for our size, will compare with other institutions in the country quite well," Rathbone said. "This is going to be a tremendous addi- tion for us."

Gov. Bill Graves spoke to the more than 200 people who attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

"The most important role we cele- brate today and the one that in this day and age is almost taken for granted is our benefactor," Graves said. "Because of the generosity of people like Alice Fiedler, we do see the difference in our students. Every student on this day — every Kansan — owes a debt of grati- tude to Alice Fiedler."

learn with art

Wk County Grade School students had

the chance to have art class thanks to K-State students.

Forty students in Lynda Andrus' Art for Elementary Education class went to Riley County Grade School to demon- strate the concepts of contour drawings and still-life arrangements Oct. 13 and 15. Andrus' class worked with the Riley County Grade School to teach art be- cause the school curriculum did not in- clude an art program.

"We don't have an art program per se out here, so it's always beneficial for someone to come out here and teach some skills," Yvonne Lenhart, seventh grade geography and reading teacher at Riley County Grade School, said. "It's almost like having an in-residence art- ist, but this time we only had her for two days."

Lenhart said it was the fourth project K-State students had conducted with the school.

"The entire school, from preschool to eighth grade, took part in the project," said Andrus, assistant professor of art and area coordinator for art for elemen- tary education. "Five-hundred stu- dents. That was a big undertaking."

Riley County Grade School asked Andrus for help with the project.

"The school paid for all the materi- als," Andrus said. "We worked to- gether, and because they don't have an art program, they were open to any help they could get."

Andrus' students worked in pairs to create a still life of pumpkins and corn stalks. Each group then presented its

autumn still life to the grade-school stu- dents. The younger students followed step-by-step directions to draw and cre- ate a glue print of the still life.

"We talked about arrangement, and then they had to show the students how to draw," Andrus said. "Many of my students don't feel like they are good drawers, but when they taught it they did a great job."

Shanna Shaw, senior in elementary education, said teaching students from preschool to eighth grade was a chal- lenge.

"Different people learn differently," Shaw said. "What I expected the kids to get, just because it was easy for me, wasn't easy for them. You have to slow down and take things step by step."

Andrus' classes had been working on projects with the school for years. The first project, making quilts, began when the school contacted her in 1994.

"They called and asked if I would be interested in helping because they didn't have an art teacher," she said. "We have been doing different projects each year. They keep inviting us back, and we keep saying 'yes.' "

Andrus said the project was a good hands-on teaching experience for her students and gave the elementary stu- dents an opportunity to do something different.

"The students out there were thrilled because they got real art students to come and teach them," Andrus said. "They love K-State, too. My students were role models for them. The students really looked up to them."

Carol Kellett re- turned from Califor- nia to her alma mater to become the new dean of the College of Human Ecology.

Kellett graduated from K-State in May 1969 and received her master's and doctoral degrees in home eco- nomics education from the University of Missouri.

"People are very interested in the fact that I graduated from K-State," Kellett said. "I miss California, but I have family here and being my alma mater makes it easier, too."

Kellett said a prior- ity for her first year as dean was getting to know the faculty and alumni.

She said she would like to increase diversity by recruit- ing more students from different back- grounds and work on increasing funding for students in the program.

"I would like to in- crease the work with grants. Our program is the seventh largest in the nation, and it keeps growing," Kellett said. "By in- creasing the grants for graduate students, we will increase the fund- ing for the best and brightest students."

Birthing Center

children about animal births

. «

Children sat on wooden bleachers, transfixed on a pregnant Holstein in a 12-by-12 foot pen. They sat with their parents, patiently waiting for the cow to begin labor.

The K-State Birthing Center, at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, housed cows, sows, chicks and veterinary medicine students Sept. 11-20.

"Basically, we learned how to deal with the public and how to do so, so they understand it," Michelle Ravnsborg, fourth-year student in veterinary medicine, said. "The way we learn things isn't the way they'd understand it."

The center gave 40 students experience helping animals give birth and working with the public. At least one veterinarian and eight fourth-year veterinary medicine students manned the center at all times. The students were asked to serve two days at the center.

"They made us," Anne Haecker, fourth-year student in veterinary medicine, said, laughing, "but it's a lot of fun, and I think everyone enjoys doing it." The students said they enjoyed working with the public because of its interest in the birthing process. "The crowd likes anything out of the ordinary," Haecker said. "When we're palpating, they're really interested or else grossed out."

Dr. Loren Schultz, food animal resident, estimated 10,000 people stopped by the barn during the fair, most of them during births.

"Most people are from urban areas," Schultz said. "Only 2 percent of people in the work force are involved in agriculture. Approximately 40 years ago, 90 percent of the workforce was involved. Because of this, children don't have the opportunity to go to their grandparents' farm and watch these births. This is where they come to get exposed to this kind of thing."

Students worked to create turbochargers that consumed less fuel and let out fewer pollutants. Turbochargers were used to force more air into the engines, which increased horsepower, lowered emissions and lowered pollution. Working much like a jet engine, the turbocharger's fan pulled in air, raising pressure, and pushed it back out. (Photo by

in self-built lab

there was a god of industry, this was his stomach.

From an engine originally used for helicopters, metal tubes ran to the ceil- ing and across the K-State-Salina lab. The testing cell of the Natural Gas Ma- chinery Laboratory may have looked complicated, but its purposes were simple: make turbochargers that used less fuel and emited fewer pollutants.

"Pretty much everything you see here has been built by Salina students," said Traci Brentano, lab manager and doctoral student in mechanical engi- neering, pointing across the lab.

Lab staff used the testing cell to simu- late pipelines that pumped natural gas across the country. Mixing and match- ing components helped determine which turbochargers would match dif- ferent engines best, using less fuel and emitting fewer pollutants.

Since it began in 1997, the NGML was more than a College of Engineering institute. Staff members said it linked the natural gas industry to students needing practical experience.

Kirby Chapman, NGML director and professor of mechanical engineer- ing, said convincing companies to fund research wasn't easy, but the prospect of reducing both pollutant levels and the estimated $2 billion in gas con- sumed by pipeline engines nationwide helped. After scrapping research and design facilities, they needed outside information to save money, he said.

"I had to do a lot of convincing, a lot of presentations that we understood turbo machinery better than anyone else," Chapman said.

But his work established the NGML into what he said was probably the most extensive facility for this testing.

John Whaley, NGML designer and senior in mechanical engineering, said one job perk was the chance to make a difference in the industry and beyond.

"Whatever we find as cures to their

problems," he said, "it benefits not just the university, not just Kansas, but it can benefit the world in gas produc- tion."

A typical test began as Brentano hung yellow caution tape across the doorway, and everybody shuffled into the control room. The engine started with a growl, moved into a whine and dropped to nothing as it shut off again.

"Did you hear that whine?" Max Kniffen, senior in mechanical engineer- ing technology, asked. "Noises like that sort of take years off our lives here."

Kniffen and the others investigated the whine in time to find an oil leak. A groan echoed from a few staff members, but Kniffen said those hands-on experi- ences were his most valuable since starting at the NGML.

Brentano said Kniffen and the other students excelled under the light super- vision the program allowed.

"We just work where we give them a to-do list and a big schedule," she said. "The students who have worked here have done an excellent job. It's defi- nitely real world stuff."

They found the root of the oil leak and whine in the cell: a pump in a bad location. The test halted for the day, but Kniffen said it was a tip for the future.

Kniffen said with construction of a larger test cell planned for Manhattan's industrial park, oil flow was another problem for design teams to anticipate.

Brentano said the $900,000 project would produce a new cell, three-and-a- half times larger than the present one, able to test larger turbochargers.

Since January 1997, Tom Breslin, se- nior in mechanical engineering, said he worked on both the test cell and on the Manhattan design team.

"I like to see an idea go from here, " he said, tapping his temple, "to actually working. The trickiest thing for me is to do some engineering designs I haven't done before."

hen veterinary students visited Sunset Zoological Park they were able to do more than look at the animals; they helped them.

Fourth-year veterinary medicine students worked with animals at the zoo while participating in a three-week rotation with the Exotic Animal, Wildlife and Zoo Animal Medicine Service. Sixty percent of students in the college participated in the program.

James Carpenter, professor of Exotic Animal, Wildlife and Zoo Animal Medicine Services, said students vastly expanded their knowledge during their three weeks at the zoo.

"The first week they are getting accustomed to working with these animals that they aren't familiar with because they are non-traditional. They aren't exactly like cats and dogs," Carpenter said. "By the third week, they really begin to flourish in terms of their knowledge, their ability to manage cases and help in surgery."

Three students accompanied the two veterinar- ians and two interns in charge of the exotics pro- gram three times a week. At the zoo, they performed annual physical exams and blood tests on the more than 300 animals.

Having the students perform exams on the ani- mals was a vital part of the preventative medicine program, Ryan Gulker, Sunset Zoo curator, said.

"We probably do more for physical exams than any other zoo in the country," Gulker said. "It allows us to provide health care before an animal develops an illness. We aren't an ambulance ser- vice."

The experience was valuable to the futures of the

students who worked at the zoo, Connie Ketz, exotics program intern, said.

"Many times, vets can provide ser- vice for small zoos," she said. "More and more students are wanting to work with exotic animals, and this is a good way to give them the experience."

Troy Huelle, fourth-year veterinary medicine student, said Sunset Zoo was an excellent facility.

"In regards to Sunset Zoo, they are very tolerable with us. They see three new students every three weeks," Huelle said. "They are great about hav- ing people come in and work with the animals. A lot of zoos are very worried about people coming in and handling their animals because animals get stressed out so easily."

Students worked with all of the zoo's animals, including larger animals like the 46-year-old grizzly bear, Brownie. Donna Romanzi, fourth-year veterinary medicine student, said working with Brownie was exciting.

"Just being able to go up and work on a grizzly bear was very exhilarating," Romanzi said. "Being able to work with other vets who have knowledge of the animal, and to have them say, 'This is what we are going to do,' it was just incredible."

After sedating Brownie, most of the bear's physical exam was completed by students. They drew blood, vaccinated him, cleaned his teeth, trimmed his claws and weighed him with the help of veterinarians and interns.

The procedures were a learning expe- rience for the students, Gulker said.

"We've always had good experi- ences with the students," he said. "The doctors and interns always make sure they conduct themselves well. It's al- ways a teaching procedure. They are always out there showing the students what to do."

Carpenter said working at Sunset Zoo had many benefits.

"It's certainly good for the town folk because it is such a great site for teaching these young people about conservation and wildlife ethics," he said. "From a teaching point of view, it is just wonder- ful. It's a close proximity, and they have a great, talented staff of keepers and administrators who have very similar philosophies to us, that is to provide

probably one of the highest quality medicine programs in the country."

Having students assist at the zoo was a win-win situation, Gulker said.

"We have a cooperation with them that allows us to have a medical pro- gram that exceeds most of the zoos in the nation," Gulker said. "I've talked to col- leagues and other curators, and we have one of the best programs anywhere."

Carpenter said the program was highly regarded because of the personal attention the animals received.

"We have one of the best preventative medicine programs in the country," Carpenter said. "A lot of people say, 'How can that be compared to zoos like San Diego?' The reason is we have four veterinarians here and 300 animals, and we have a staff that has the same goals that we do. You compare that to some of the gigantic zoos. They may have a couple more veterinarians, but they have so many animals."

The Exotic Program wasn't always as well-known. The program between Sunset Zoo and the college began in 1989 when Carpenter applied for a faculty position in the Exotics Department.

"In 1989, the faculty realized that ex- otic animal medicine was a rapidly growing field and students needed op- portunities to work in it," Carpenter said. "They decided to hire a faculty member, so in 1989, I applied and was offered the position. I came Jan. 1, 1990. That's when we started formulating our relationship with the zoo."

Carpenter said he hoped the program would continue to grow.

"We would like to see if we could establish a residency in zoological medi- cine and eventually attract another fac- ulty member," he said. "As we do more research, as we do more teaching, the students expect more opportunities in exotic animals, wildlife animals and zoological animals."

Carpenter said after students fin- ished their rotations, he met with them and listened to their evaluations. He said many students enjoyed their time with exotics because of the hands-on experience and the challenge it posed.

"You never get bored. Two days are never the same," he said. "Tomorrow we are doing a bear. Today we have a rat, a bird and a Gila monster."

Veterans and soldiers gathered to dedicate a symbol of gratitude, standing as a result of cooperation among four campus departments.

Manhattan-area veterans joined the Air Force and Army ROTC on Veteran's Day to dedicate a flagpole in front of the Military Science building. The flagpole, which formerly stood in front of the post office in Dykstra Hall, represented appreciation for those who served their country on the battlefield.

"This flagpole is more important than just a piece of metal," Lt. Col. Robert Kennedy said at the opening ceremony. "It will rally our patriotism, our valor and our courage. It's a powerful symbol that will be here for years to come."

Members of K-State's chapter of the Association of General Contractors worked with Air Force Maj. Steven Dorfman and AFROTC Vice Cmdr. Andrew Resch to construct the base of the pole. ROTC cadets then sanded and painted the pole.

"We wanted to recognize what all of the veterans did for us," Resch said. "We wanted to honor all the support they've given us."

The flagpole replaced the previously-used pole, damaged in a storm.

"This is the perfect spot to display the U.S. flag," said retired Brig. Gen. Richard Fye at the dedication ceremony. "I'm proud of you for having done it."

Josh Vogel, senior in construction science and management and vice president of the Association of General Contractors, helped supply materials and manpower.

"Everything ran pretty smoothly," Vogel said. "The weather delayed us a few times, but other than that it went well."

Fye said he hoped having the flag more prominently displayed would create pride in students. He spoke of his own pride in the flag.

"I look at the flag, and I think how proud I am of this nation," Fye said, pausing to maintain his composure. "I hope you all come to revere the flag in the same way that I have."

Agricultural jour- nalism students gained real-life expe- rience at Midwest livestock publications through the Livestock Publications Council Mentor /Protege Pro- gram.

Students worked with mentors to learn about agricultural communications job.

"1 think it's a really super program for the students," Kris Boone, assistant pro- fessor of agriculture communications, said. "They're going to get to work one-on- one with someone and get to really pick their brain and under- stand what their jobs are like."

The program be- gan in 1996 as a pilot program, but Boone said this was the first year they had a year to look back to. She said it was a problem re- minding mentors how much free time students could devote to the program.

"They forget what students' schedules are like," Boone said. "They think students have a lot more free time, but it's moving along pretty well."

Jeff Sutton, junior in agricultural jour- nalism, said the pro- gram brought net- working opportuni- ties.

"I'm doing the things I need to pre- pare myself for the fu- ture, like meeting the people I'll be working for and building my resume and portfo- lio," he said. "Those kinds of things will definitely give me a head start on my fu- ture."

was a family affair when it came to the Brays, and going to class became a family event.

Kim Bray, senior in horticulture and May graduate, and her two daughters, junior Justin Bray and sophomore Thaine were in Plants for the Interior Environment together during spring semester.

"We don't study together for classes that we are in together, but if the girls are in a class that I had in the past, then I help them out," Kim said. "I think we all enjoy being together in class because it gives us someone to talk to, and if one of us is having a big problem with the class then we can work together."

Kim started her college career as a pharmacy major at the University of Missouri at Kansas City but quit short of graduation to raise her children. In 1993 she went back to school and commuted to class from Holton, Kan., while still working in Topeka.

In the fall, she moved to Manhattan to be closer to school and her daughters.

"It was strange going back to school 20 years later," Kim said. "Then, to have my daughters in my classes made it even stranger. I was used to having control over them, as their mother, and now they are my peers."

Her time away from school helped her decide what major to pursue when she went back. While away from school,

she developed a love for gardening. She would bring home the cheap, sick plants from the store and try to nurse them back to health.

"I knew I was going to have to work for the rest of my life," Kim said. "I wanted a degree that gave me a career and a path in life. Gardening was some- thing I knew I could do for the rest of my life."

Thaine and Justin said they both chose horticulture as their major par- tially because of their mom.

"We were influenced directly, yet indirectly," Justin said. "It wasn't an T think you should do this' kind of speech, but it was just something we were always exposed to, and we de- cided we really liked it."

The girls agreed it was strange hav- ing their mom in classes, but they didn't mind. Justin said since they were so close it didn't seem strange.

"We enjoy being together in class, but it's still strange," said Justin. "We're used to her being 'mom' and not being in our classes. She should be at home or at work, not in class."

Thaine said although they enjoyed working with plants and being to- gether, they were different people.

"We have different places we want to go and things we each want to do," Thaine said. "We'd love to have each other with us, but we are individual people."

Sigifredo Castro-Diaz used to tell people he had a date with Ricky Alvarez.

"That's what I used to say anyway, until my partner Ricky told me about idioms here," Castro-Diaz, an international student from Bogota, Columbia, said. "He said a date is with a girl, so now I say I meet with him or get together."

Castro-Diaz and Alvarez were paired through the Conversational English Program and became friends.

In its eighth year, the CEP assisted international students learning English. In return, American students received cultural experiences.

Bruce Belmont, CEP program coordinator, said the majority of international participating students were Asians, with some Europeans and Latinos.

"This is the highest year of involvement — 95 pairs," Belmont said. "That's almost 10 percent of the international student population."

International students learned conversational English and adapted to the culture quickly with their partners' help, Eleana Montero, international student from Maracaibo, Venezuela, said.

"Three months ago, all I could say in English was, 'hello, yes, how are you' and my ABC's," she said. "My partner, Mandy, helps me do my homework when I don't understand."

Mandy Jaggard, sophomore in secondary education, said it helped American and international students.

"I want to teach overseas," she said. "I thought it'd be beneficial to be around foreign people and learn different cultures." Castro-Diaz said the program helped him make friends. "It's one of the best things here for me," he said. "My life changed after meeting Ricky. He's definitely one of my best friends."

Jaggard said the cultures differed, but the people were similar. "I learned to speak slower without talking very loud," Jaggard said. "I love how no matter what language someone speaks, we all laugh and smile together in the same language."

elite — i

The College of Business reaffirmed its position among the elite when it was rec- ommended for reac- creditation.

The honor, first re- ceived in 1973, made the college part of the 25 percent of accredit- ed business colleges.

"This really is a certificate of quality," Yar Ebadi, dean of the College of Business, said. "It is really a stamp of approval."

The accreditation process began when the college submitted a self-study to the In- ternational Associa- tion for Management Education, and a re- view team visited campus Oct. 4-7.

"They actually look at everything," Ebadi said. "They want to make sure the quality is there."

The team visited classrooms, inter- viewed students and met with President Jon Wefald and Pro- vost James Coffman.

The team's only concern was the level of resources as enroll- ment had increased by 500 during the pre- vious three years.

"We've added three faculty positions in the current year," Coffman said, "and we have plans to add seven more positions in the next three years."

Ebadi said he con- tinually revised cur- riculum to keep it rig- orous and relevant.

"As a dean, I am often questioned by employers as to what can they do to get more of us," Ebadi said. "That's a great problem to have."

taking dance classes no longer scraped their hands on the studio ceilings in Ahearn Field House.

New dance studios, built in the base- ment of Nichols Hall, were constructed with higher ceilings. They also had sus- pended wood floors, larger floor space and a built-in sound system.

The new studios united the Depart- ment of Speech Communication, The- atre and Dance on Oct. 12. It was a dream for dance majors and instructors since the late 1980s, Jo Miller, instructor of speech communication, theatre and dance, said.

"It was worth the wait," she said. "Now we have them forever."

The dance program, originally part of the kinesiology department, formed in 1977. Dancers used two wrestling rooms on the third floor of Ahearn, which had been transformed into dance studios with a portable sound system and mirrors. But those studios lacked central air and insulation.

"The temperature was terrible," Miller said. "Sometimes it was so cold we couldn't have class."

The dance program split from the kinesiology department in 1987 to form the Department of Speech Communica- tion, Theatre and Dance. Luke Kahlich, former dance program director for 17 years, wanted to house all three pro- grams in Nichols.

"He (Kahlich) fought hard to get the space for the studios," Miller said. "Luke started the idea in the late 1980s."

That idea became a reality after pri-

foundation

vate donations and fund-raising efforts allowed construction to begin. Money from the Crumbling Classroom Fund also assisted the project.

"The funding was a partnership be- tween the university and the depart- ment," said Dave Proctor, department head of speech communications, the- atre and dance. "The difference is like night and day."

The Nichols studios had state-of-the- art suspended wood floors. They were built six inches above a cement base and functioned as shock absorbers to pre- vent injuries.

"The floors are a lot better physi- cally," said Amy Thompson, senior in theater and stage manager for Winter Dance. "They are safer on the joints of dancers."

Although they were designed for dancers, three of the four studios had vinyl overlays, making them multi pur- pose. This allowed theater students to use the studios for rehearsing, directing, acting and for improvisation classes, which joined the programs.

"It boosts your confidence," Michelle Brucker, sophomore in dance, said. "It makes you feel like they care about the department."

Several dance majors were also the- ater minors. The move allowed students easier access to both programs. It also improved communication within the department, Miller said.

"People feel more professional and respected," she said. "Your environ- ment can help set your mood, and I think that's what is happening here."

bones

By Joel Whit*

Michael Finnegan's office was proof he had traveled the world. Crossbows from Vietnam, hunting and fishing bows and arrows from Amazonian tribes, poison-tipped arrows from Africa and police patches from Kansas counties acted as reminders.

Finnegan, professor of physical anthropology and consultant in forensic anthropology, said K-State had allowed him to travel to almost every continent.

"They would let me pursue the types of things I wanted to pursue as long as I was productive in a scholarly/research sense," Finnegan said. "The university has been more or less supportive of the sort of thing that I do."

Michael Timberlake, head of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work, said Finnegan gave his time to the community.

"When people need his forensic anthropology expertise, they can call on him," Timberlake said, "and he's often willing to give it to them."

Alicia Shue, senior in anthropology, said Finnegan's connections were valuable to his students. "He helped me get an internship with KBI," Shue said. "If you're going into forensic sciences, he's the person to know."

Finnegan's best-known work was for the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department. In 1988, when the KCPD found human bones at the home of Robert Berdella, who was later called the worst serial killer in the history of the city, they called Finnegan for help. Throughout the course of six weeks, Finnegan helped identify two victims.

Finnegan said his assistance in the case helped the victims' families more than it helped put Berdella behind bars for life.

"My contribution was I was able to give them the age, sex, stature and race of both of those individuals and roughly how long they'd been dead," Finnegan said. "That gave the detectives a time frame to start looking for missing persons."

While he didn't display a souvenir of the Berdella case, police patches served as reminders.

recruiter

by shalia satter

To find assistant dean Dennis Wilson humming a song as he completed tasks wouldn't have been unusual. The newly appointed minority recruiter for the Col- lege of Arts and Sci- ences was also an as- sistant professor of music and director of jazz studies.

Wilson said his musical talent pro- vided him with an un- usual way to reach and interest students.

"I'm a professional musician," he said, "I'm lead trombone for the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band. I've got Grammy-winning al- bums and Grammy nominations for my- self. That will be my access to the schools."

He said that access would allow him to establish relationships by first speaking to guidance counselors and administrators. Then he would return in the spring to supply students with univer- sity information, cre- ating a bond.

Wilson said K-State was serious about re- cruiting minority stu- dents. He said scholar- ship money alone would not entice someone to attend K- State. He planned to travel and attract stu- dents to K-State by also emphasizing sup- port groups and orga- nizations dedicated to minority students.

"K-State is a uni- versity and should have a wide range of diversity. We need to put our best foot for- ward and just go out there and compete," Wilson said. "Diver- sity is necessary."

Margaret Brogada demonstrates a descrip- tive concept with her eyes in her intermediate Spanish class for professors. The class was designed to teach professors, enabling them to do research abroad and to keep up with the increasing number of international and bilingual students in their classrooms. Brogada said it was nice teaching a class where the students were so interested in learning. She said it was different at times, teaching a class to students with doctorates and masters, but she said having highly- educated students allowed them to discuss several different views and opinions of issues.

Students practice speaking Spanish in pairs during the Spanish for professors intermedi- ate class, taught by Brogada. Brogada, originally from Paraguay, observed a conversation between Franz Samelson, professor emeritus of psychology, and Donna Schenck-Hamlin, instructor at the agricultural experiment station.

Because it was a conversational class, the students rarely had written assignments. (Photo by

students arrived at their Spanish class early and spoke Spanish before it began. During class, these students, many of whom had masters and doctorates, di- rected their unwavering attention to- ward the person doing a job they were all familiar with. The students were pro- fessors.

The 37 professors asked to be in the first conversational Spanish class, funded by a joint venture between In- ternational Programs and the College of Agriculture.

"We've been hearing little bits and pieces about faculty wanting to learn Spanish for 20 years," Douglas Benson, associate professor of modern lan- guages, said. "In 1990, we sent out a little survey asking if there was enough interest for the class. We got seven re- sponses. We sent out another survey in October, and we had over 90 responses. There's no way we can meet that de- mand now, but we're working on it."

Benson said they had two classes, a beginning class with 21 professors, and an intermediate class with 16. The classes began the third week of the fall semester and continued for five weeks.

"I'm getting a refreshing of the lan- guage skills that I previously had but had been buried for many years," Jerome Lavelle, assistant professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, said. "I've enjoyed the in- teraction with faculty across campus who I had not met previously."

The classes were taught by two tem- porary instructors from the Spanish program. Ines Ugarte taught the begin-

ning class and Margaret Brogada taught the intermediate class.

"All of them are so interested in the class," Brogada said. "They're all Ph.Ds. They're all masters in two or three things, and there I am, just a teacher. All the knowledge that they have and the age difference between us, it's a place where it's really cool to know your stuff."

Benson said the professors were more interested in learning Spanish this year than eight years ago because of changes in the population.

"The whole western half of Kansas is Spanish speaking," Benson said. "The school populations in Garden and Dodge and so forth are now well over 50-percent students of color."

Because of these demographic shifts, International Programs and the College of Agriculture split the cost of the Span- ish classes. Because of this, about half of the professors were from the College of Agriculture, and International Pro- grams funded everyone else.

Benson said he thought the classes would eventually lead to professors be- ing able to help others and do more studying abroad.

"(It will) help allay the fear in the Midwest and at K-State about learning a language," Benson said. "Then give the faculty the tools they need to do their work."

Brogada said it was fun to teach the professors Spanish.

"It's wonderful. I love it," Brogada said. "They want to know so much, and I learn so much from them."

professor photos

grain dust explosions

Robert Schoeff used his camera for more than taking pictures. He used it to increase awareness of safety in the workplace.

When an explosion killed seven workers at the DeBruce Grain Co. elevator June 8, in Haysville, Kan., the retired K-State professor photographed the site.

Tom Tunnell, president of the Kansas Grain and Feed

Association of Kansas, communicated with Schoeff during the

investigation. Tunnell said Schoeff's job was to get

quality, fact-based information out to the media and

general public.

"Because of his history of grain elevator safety and grain dust explosions, we were confident that we would get factual information," Tunnell said. "In terms of experts in the area of grain dust and research, Bob is by far the foremost expert in the United States." Schoeff began photographing sites in 1968. "There was a real need for safety training," Schoeff said. "Because of my interest in photography and trying to solve safety problems, I took the job."

Schoeff converted the pictures he took into slides, and used them for presentations. When he retired from K-State in 1991, he moved his slides to his basement. At times, he photographed more than damage to the buildings.

Among the slides of the DeBruce elevator explosion, which he kept in his office, Schoeff pointed out two photos of men whose hands and faces were bandaged.

"This man survived," Schoeff said, pointing to one slide. "This one didn't."

Schoeff said since he began educating workers, the number of grain dust explosions decreased. He said he hoped the tragedies of the past could be avoided for the workers he spoke to.

"At every presentation I say the same thing," Schoeff said. "I tell them that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

honored by rachel powers

The St. Louis Sec- tion of the American Chemical Society honored a K-State chemistry professor with the 1998 Mid- west Award to a Uni- versity Distinguished Professor of Chemis- try.

Kenneth Klabunde received the award at the regional conven- tion Nov. 4-7 in Wich- ita. His colleague, Pe- ter Sherwood, also a distinguished profes- sor of chemistry, nom- inated him.

"I have always had a lot of respect for oth- ers who have won this award/' Klabunde said. "I thought that I wasn't going to quali- fy for this award be- cause I had been nom- inated a couple of times previously."

Klabunde won the award, a bronze me- dallion and a honorar- ium of $2,000 for his research and work with the synthesis and study of nano parti- cles. His atom synthe- sis led to the discovery of properties of nano particles, which help detoxify chemical warfare agents.

"I will probably use the money for travel to other scien- tific conferences." Klabunde said.

Trying to filter a distraction coming from one tape recorder, Holly Heyroth, freshman in education, listens to the story on the other tape recorder. "This is a task done to distinguish whether or not there are differ- ences in how males and females listen and divide their attentions," Kelley Leath, junior in psychology, said. The Experimental Methods class allowed students their first opportunity to develop and carry out experiments. "The course itself really is a pivotal course within the degree plan, because it's a prerequisite for most of the core classes that they'll take as a psych major," instructor Phil Kuehn said. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

Tape recorders playing stories by O. Henry, "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Last Leaf," were used in an experiment done by psychology students. Participants were told to focus on "The Last Leaf" and block "The Gift of the Magi." The experiment tested to see which gender could better filter distrac- tions. Kuehn said he didn't expect the results to match the hypothesis, because there was rarely a gender difference among psychology tests. "They (the students) are going to be able to next time around anticipate some of the concerns that were a part of this proce- dure," he said. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

experiment

attention span

, psychology students in Experimen- tal Methods dedicated their final project to finding out who could better filter distractions: men or women.

Sophomore Nikki Groneweg, junior Kelley Leath and junior Shonna Combs, conducted an experiment, which tested participants' ability to focus.

"This is a tough class," instructor Phil Kuehn, graduate student in psychol- ogy, said. "It meets every day of the week in one form or another. It's a five- credit class. Three days of the week they meet for an hour lecture with the lead professor. Twice a week they meet with me for lab. That's a two-hour time slot."

The final lab project required stu- dents to research a topic, form a hypoth- esis and then test it on volunteers from General Psychology classes.

"The topic for the project is really where they have their freedom," Kuehn said. "What I'm there for is to guide them down a path that would allow them to ask not only an interesting ques- tion but to do it in a way that is scientifi- cally sound."

Groneweg, Leath and Combs said they decided on their topic after watch- ing an episode of "20/20." The show featured a wife who complained her husband did not listen or pay attention.

Then they created the experiment. It tested whether males or females were better able to focus their attention on one subject with an obvious distraction.

"The common stereotype is that fe- males are better listeners than males," Leath said, "and in our culture, women are expected to divide their attention among many different things. Our hy- pothesis is that males will be able to filter distractions better than females."

To test their hypothesis, the students set up two tape recorders with a differ- ent tape in each. The participants sat in the middle of the room and listened to the stories being played from the re- corders. The experimenters instructed participants to focus their attention on

one story and block the other. The sto- ries were read in the same voice and were by the same author, O. Henry.

"One of them is called The Last Leaf,' and it's the one we'll be experimenting on for the people to listen to, and the distraction is 'The Gift of the Magi,' " Combs said.

One of the tapes started right away, and the other had a one-minute delay, so the participants in the experimental group could determine which story they were to focus on. The control group only heard one story. The participants then completed a comprehension test.

Group members said they discov- ered some problems with their experi- ment once they began. They were con- cerned about acquiring the same vol- ume for both tape recorders and about the difficulty of the questions on the comprehension test. Another problem they noticed was some participants leaned toward the recorder they tried to concentrate on, which made it easier to block out the distraction.

Kuehn said students learned by do- ing. Although he didn't think his stu- dents' results would support the hy- pothesis, he said he was confident his students learned valuable information from their studies.

"If we keep them from failing," he said, "they aren't going to learn as much as they could. The part that encourages me is they very logically went through the brainstorming process that arrived at the original question from which they developed this set of procedures. If they hadn't run the procedures, they wouldn't know about the flaws."

Kuehn said gender differences re- corded by psychological research were small, if existent. He said culture tended to create those gender differences.

"It's a learning experience for them," Kuehn said. "Since it doesn't turn out the way they expect it to, it causes them to raise the question of 'why,' and that's a natural part of the scientific process."

here were silk teddies, vulgar dance moves, promiscuous characters and Nazi armbands.

It was raunchy, lewd, nasty and just what Cabaret's director had in mind.

"We wanted to get the sense of the decay and degeneration that is part of '30s Berlin," said Lew Shelton, director and associate professor of speech communication, theatre and dance. "We also wanted to get an edge to the performance — sort of a sexuality, decadence and desperation on the part of the people, and a 'This is the way it is. There is nothing I can do about it.' "

Cabaret was set during the years prior to the Nazi takeover and World War II. Characters in the performance, for the most part, were unaware of the implications of what was happening around them.

The Emcee, played by Scott Chamoff, graduate student in theater, helped set the performance's tone, Shelton said.

"There's not a whole lot to like about the Emcee because he's not real heroic and doesn't have a whole lot of redeeming qualities," Chamoff said. "Becoming this nasty, cynical person was challeng- ing and in retrospect, one of the nicest things be- cause I was able to do this with him."

For Chamoff, getting into his charac- ter began at 6 p.m. when he first came to McCain Auditorium to prepare.

"When I had the whiteface on, I could detach myself from the character and let the character overcome my whole physical presence," he said. "From 6 o'clock on, I would speak with a Ger- man accent."

Diana Yamabayashi, senior in the- ater, got a feel for the time period from her character, Sally Bowles.

"Throughout the whole thing, she's a time bomb that's ticking, which is a metaphor throughout the whole play," she said. "The country is just waiting to explode."

The desperation also came out in the choreography, Shelton said.

"I told Jo (Miller, choreographer and instructor of speech communication, theatre and dance) I wanted it to be as tacky and as raunchy as we could make it," he said.

In the orchestra pit, cellist Luke Woellhof, sophomore in music educa- tion, said he enjoyed the kick-line music despite a close call with a shoe.

"It's pretty lively, and the dancers are all kicking around," Woellhof said of the music. "On the last night, one of the kick-line people lost a shoe, and it came flying at me."

Beyond the 29 performers whom the audience applauded were musicians or crew members who were rarely seen.

"We're looking at probably 80 to 85 people who have a direct effect on the show not to mention the stage and set crews," Jeremy Seemann, stage man- ager and senior in theater, said.

Some students chalked the work up to experience while others also received class credit for working on the show through Fundamentals of Technical Production, Drama Participation or Fundamentals of Stage Costuming. Each of the classes required students to work on a production.

"These classes are basically designed to give a review of what happens with the overall production," Seemann, who took Fundamentals of Technical Pro- duction fall 1997, said. "It's an excellent way to know what's going on."

Much of the set, a basement German cabaret, was built ahead of time and

then assembled on McCain's stage dur- ing the two weeks Cabaret's cast and crew had their run of the auditorium.

"The usual problem in McCain is this is used for so many things," said John Uthoff, set designer and associate pro- fessor of speech communication, the- atre and dance. "We're really allowed a very short time to put this type of pro- duction together."

That made for some long days and nights when the crew began construct- ing the set. Once the set was completed, lighting still had to be rigged to it. It was work most audience members didn't realize was so time consuming, Nathan Parr, lighting designer and senior in theater, said.

"They don't realize that a two-hour show they watch has 80 to 100 hours put into it. People think theater's a fluff job, but..." Parr said, not finishing his sen- tence as he stood on McCain's empty stage after 11 p.m. following the final dress rehearsal.

Another part of the production that came together in time for the dress re- hearsals were costumes.

"I loved it, especially because I was in the show," said Amy Verdon, senior in theater and costume shop employee. "Every time something new would come, I would say, 'Whose is this?' '

One of her favorite costumes be- longed to a lead character, Sally Bowles.

"It was a see-through robe, and we stitched red boas onto the sleeves," she said. "I wanted to steal that so bad."

Costumes like the robe gave another edge to the tone.

"When you see the costumes and when you get in your costumes, every- thing goes up a notch. The costumes add everything," Verdon said. "There's only so much you can do in sweats and a T-shirt."

For Cabaret, sweats and T-shirts were too wholesome. Songs like "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies" called for raunchiness.

"We talked about it a lot, what we wanted," Shelton said. "We looked at some paintings and pictures of the pe- riod and could see that quality in there, and it just sort of came out as they per- formed it. I'm really pleased that it has an overall unity through the tone."

greenhouse

local research

greenhouses gave students the oppor- tunity not only to grow some green, but to earn it as well.

Within the 14 greenhouses, more than 30,000 advanced experiments were conducted yearly, many of which worked to create the new white wheat variety. Successfully produced in 1998, white wheat was developed in part due to 13 students' help, Rollie Sears, agronomy professor and wheat breeder for K-State, said.

"They are really a vital part of the progress we make in terms of the wheat breeding program," Sears said. "Prima- rily, there is a lot of work we do that requires quite a bit of training. We give them responsibility when they come in, and they can just take off and get the job done."

Students said they enjoyed their work and felt they were a part of the research. Audrea Suther, junior in En- glish, said she was able to help harvest the white wheat varieties.

White wheat would be different from red wheat, the most common wheat used in Kansas, because of its shell. Since white wheat's outer layer was white, it did not need to be bleached at flour mills like red wheat. That meant savings for the mills.

"I feel that I'm very valuable," Suther, said. "The wheat I've personally touched could someday be the next big variety."

Sears said the five graduate and eight undergraduate students helped with al- most all facets of the program.

"Students help out in planting the seed," Sears said. "Some of the more experienced students that have been with us for two or three years even take part in taking notes for us."

Other student responsibilities in- cluded maintaining the greenhouses, filling pots with soil, checking for dis- ease and harvesting the plants.

"We've tried in the past to make our program as attractive as possible," Sears said. "We try to attract students when they are freshman or sophomores and encourage them to work with the pro- gram while they are here at K-State."

Sears said not just agronomy students worked in the greenhouse. English, agri- cultural engineering, computer science and music majors had worked with the program in the past.

"When we advertise, we try to en- courage students with agricultural backgrounds, primarily because a lot of the things we do deal with working with soil and with plants," Sears said. "Gen- erally, though not always the case, the students with ag backgrounds tend to like those kind of activities. Certainly, we've taken students from really the whole campus."

Sears said, although the students came from different backgrounds, they worked well together.

"It's really cool because the people who work here are so different, yet we all get along," Marie Bunck, freshman in industrial engineering, said.

Although much of the field work was done in the summer, experiments con- tinued throughout the year, Sears said.

"The fall, winter and spring are busy, maybe even busier, for the wheat breed- ing program than actually the summer is," Sears said. "We also use the winter to screen a lot of our materials for disease and insect pests."

White wheat's resistance to disease and insects would compare to red wheat's abilities because they differed by only three genes, Suther said. But to ensure continued improvement, much research was still needed.

"It's nice to contribute to a larger ef- fort," Suther said. "To know that the varieties we're dealing with today could, in a few years, benefit the farmers who are out on the combines now."

The houses, apart- ments, schools and businesses slowly en- circled the agricul- tural research land, partially owned and leased by K-State.

"In the near term, we will be able to maintain the land for research, and con- tinue using the land in other areas," Marc Johnson, director of K-State Research and Extension, said. "At least that is our at- tempt."

David Mengel, chair of the Agrono- my Department, spec- ulated about the land's long-term fu- ture.

"Over time, it's likely the space used for agriculture will be used for campus ex- pansion," he said, "but we will fight to keep it because it is great for teaching."

Various depart- ments used the land for hands-on learning. Professors and stu- dents used the 480- acre Agronomy Re- search Farm for re- search projects, labs and field trips.

"It's primary for research and teach- ing," Mengel said. "We have classes that meet out there. We have adult classes through extension, particularly in the summer, and there are programs for chil- dren."

Despite current us- age and speculation, the future of the land remained uncertain.

"I don't know of any current plans of non-university inter- est up there," Johnson said. "We have no plans to sell it."

Many laughed at the idea, passing it off as simply absurd: a major where students learned how to mow lawns.

"I get a lot of funny looks when I tell people what my major is," Quinn Struck, freshman in golf course management, said. "But when I explain myself, people usually find it interesting."

The new major, an extension of the Department of Horticulture, Forestry and Recreation Resources' turf management major, taught students not only about grass and trees, but also communications, public relations, hotel management and business.

"It deals with a lot more than mowing lawns," Struck said. "It has to do with chemicals, hiring of people — pretty much everything involved with running a golf course, plus mowing the lawn."

K-State was one of only three schools in the Big 12 Conference that offered the program.

"It really caters to what I'm looking for," Mark Spears, junior in golf course management, said. "I feel lucky to attend a university that offers this major. Plus, K-State gives me a unique experience with nature and a highly accredited program."

The program grew with the ground breaking of Colbert Hills, K-State's PGA-caliber golf course and the only course in the nation to be used strictly for a college curriculum. The course, partially funded by professional golfer and alumnus Jim Colbert, would also allow children who would not be considered stereotypical golfers to train. Each summer, 125 children would train for two or four weeks.

Although only the preliminary stages of the course were underway, the thought of completion was enough to make Jack Fry, professor in horticulture, forestry and recreation, smile.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for students to get hands-on experience on a championship golf course," Fry said. "There is no better place in the U.S. than K-State if you're a student interested in golf course management as a career."

Thanks to a doll with skin layers like a real dog, third-year students in veterinary medicine learned sur- gical skills without using live animals.

Dr. Ron McLaugh- lin, associate profes- sor of clinical sciences, said the Dog Abdomi- nal Surrogate for In- structional Exercises, or DAISE, served as a dry run for the re- quired abdominal ex- ploratory and spay/ neuter labs.

"The body wall of the DAISE is different layers," Dr. Jim Roush, associate pro- fessor of clinical sci- ences, said. "And when you suture a normal animal, you suture those layers of skin as you are com- ing out."

Students used DA- ISE, muslin stretched inside embroidery hoops, or sometimes even pig's feet, to practice suturing.

"Nothing com- pares to the real thing, but you're 10 steps ahead with the DAISE doll," Tiffany Magid, fourth-year student in veterinary medicine, said.

Students learned basic skills, like hold- ing instruments cor- rectly, then applied them to surgical pro- cedures.

Practicing their skills taught students how to leave good im- pressions on their fu- ture clients, Megan Ehlers, fourth-year student in veterinary medicine, said.

"The way pet own- ers judge the job you did is by how their pet looks after they get home," she said.

remembered when she was a cheer- ' leader in high school. She remembered when she could stay awake an entire night talking with girlfriends. She re- membered when she could attend school for full days, and she remem- bered when all that began to change.

At 17, Molly Casey was diagnosed with the terminal disease, lupus. Lupus, a connective tissue disorder, occurred when her immune system became hy- peractive and attacked normal tissue.

"In the beginning, I started getting really bad migraines, and all I ever wanted to do was sleep," Casey, fresh- man in social work, said of the symp- toms that appeared during her junior year in high school. "Then I got this rash all over my body. It was everywhere except my hands, feet and face. Once my joints started aching really bad, I knew it was something worse."

Doctors said Casey's disease was he- reditary, but she was adopted and did not know her family's medical history. While doctors searched for answers, Casey grew more fatigued. She was forced to cut back on school and activi- ties. She said it felt like her life was slowly falling apart.

Casey's boyfriend, David Piken, freshman in business, knew her when she was diagnosed. He witnessed her daily trials as she adjusted to the changes.

"Molly was really a nervous wreck. If she was down, she'd be really sad and teary eyed and tired. When she was up, she'd be dancing around, laughing and talking," Piken said. "I never knew if she'd be in school or at home crashing on her couch."

For months, Casey did not under- stand how ill she was. She said her doc- tors discouraged her from learning more about lupus because they thought the information would only scare her. She could not explain to people, or her- self, what was happening to her.

for her life

"I didn't feel like talking about it with anyone because it was so hard, so I kept everything inside," Casey said. "Before too long, I was in a state of depression."

It took time for Casey to readjust to her new schedule, medication and fre- quent doctor visits. Eventually, she said she overcame her sadness and despera- tion with the help of family and friends.

Casey graduated from high school on time through a reduced schedule and summer courses. College plans brought pressure and change, includ- ing living away from home.

"I learned a lot from Molly. I didn't even know what lupus was before I met her," said Mariah Smith, Casey's room- mate and freshman in physical therapy. "It took some time getting used to her schedule though because she naps so often. When she needed to wake up, someone would actually have to throw water on her face to even get her to stir. "

Casey had to speak with her profes- sors before school started. She was con- sidered a disabled student and received privileges, but with those privileges came responsibilities.

"My professors know I'm sick. When I'm not in class there is someone to take notes for me," Casey said. "But this makes it tough to make myself go to class. I know how important it is, but some days getting out of bed takes an awful lot."

Casey said she knew her disease pre- sented a constant struggle. However, it helped her realize a desire to help chil- dren facing similar situations by work- ing in a hospital with terminally-ill chil- dren. She said it could be emotionally draining, but it would be worth it if she could lessen one child's pain.

"For now, I've got to take it slowly. I don't know if I'll get sicker tomorrow. I've got to hope every day that it will go into remission," Casey said. "I know I'll always have it, and that's all right. I can just never let my disease have me."

Faculty salaries lag

professors leave

employment

K-State ranked last in the Big 12.

Though a strong competitor in football, cross country, livestock judging and debate, when it came to paying its professors, the university ranked last among other schools in the conference.

For the seventh year in a row, K-State's faculty salaries were the lowest in the Big 12.

"What happens is that we lose a significant number of people as they are getting promoted from assistant professor to full professor," said Ronald Downey, associate provost and director of planning and analysis, "because if they're successful, people want them."

Downey said many professors left because other institutions offered higher salaries with more benefits.

"You could be a professor here at K-State and like the school, your job and the classes," Downey said. "But $15,000 is a lot of money. If you're offered that much more, you are going to at least consider leaving."

In its Annual Report on the Status of Faculty Salaries at K-State, the Faculty Affairs Subcommittee said the average K-State salary needed to be increased 18.7 percent to equal the average salary of five peer institutions.

According to the report, the average salary at K- State was $48,693, while the average salary at a comparable institution was $53,517.

"If we want a good university, if we are trying to be competitive nationally, we should be competitive nationally in terms of salaries," said Talat Rahman, faculty senate president and professor of physics. "In the long run, it's the people of Kansas who are going to benefit."

Downey said in order to compete, the Kansas Legislature needed

to allot a consistent, above-average increase for three to four years.

"The problem has always been that the legislature has given

above-average increases," Downey said. "But then that's followed

by a couple of years of below-average increases."

In order to solve the problem, Rahman said Kansas citizens needed to be informed on the benefits of raising salaries.

"I think the problem is that the public and the legislature do not always know what the faculty does," he said. "We need to make it known to the people who pay the bills, what it is we do for them." Rahman said many people thought professors were only responsible for teaching a few classes each day. However, professors also met with and advised students served on committees and conducted research.

"This is something that should go home to Kansas," Rahman said. "These are people who aren't just sitting in their office and teaching. They're like ambassadors to the world, reaching out and teaching others."

increase in

attracts students

university affirmed its dedication to re- cruiting the best students when it an- nounced a $50 million scholarship cam- paign Sept. 18.

The KSU Foundation kicked the cam- paign off at a gala outside the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. They pre- dicted the campaign, which would con- tinue through June 2000, would provide up to $500,000 more in scholarships per year.

"The campaign was initiated because we believe that we need additional scholarship support to remain competi- tive in attracting new students to K- State," Pat Bosco, dean of student life, said, "but also to retain students who have done well academically at the uni- versity."

Besides retaining students, the cam- paign intended to increase the university's competitiveness.

"In the last 10 years, competition for students has increased drastically. The best and brightest were going to other universities. We needed to compete for our own kids." Richard Pearson, volun- teer head of the campaign, said. "We saw the demand coming up, and the university didn't have money to com- pete with."

Larry Moeder, director of student fi- nancial assistance, said that of the total $65 million given each year in student aid, only $5.4 million was university scholarships.

"While that's not the lowest in the state, we still could use more." Moeder said.

He said in-state universities, as well

as surrounding-state universities, had not only increased scholarships, but the emphasis they placed on scholarships, the amount of scholarships and student recruitment.

"We are quite simply not in the posi- tion right now to compete with some of the sizes of scholarships that some of the in-state schools are awarding," Smith said. "Out-of-state schools are also waiving tuition to help students, plus giving scholarship money on top of that. So, in some cases, they make it cheaper to go to an out-of-state school than we can make it coming to an in-state school,"

The campaign began partly because 70 percent of students were receiving some type of financial aid, Lisa Yi, senior associate director for student financial assistance, said.

"Most K-State students who receive academic scholarships also qualify for financial assistance," Bosco said. "There will be a few scholarships that will be need as well as merit specific, but the great majority will be merit-based schol- arships."

By November, the campaign had raised more than $30 million, Pearson said. He was confident that the remain- ing $20 million would not be any prob- lem.

"By raising a $50 million endowment, we can supply Kansas State University students with a quarter million to a half million dollars in scholarships per year." Pearson said. "It's important that young men and women get a college education, and we want them to get it at Kansas State."

Nationwide and at K-State, students and graduates found paying back their loans was easier than they as- sumed. The na- tional default rate hit a record low of 9.6 percent when universities saw substantial de- creases in students failing to pay back loans.

"The national trends are reflected here at K-State," Lisa Yi, senior asso- ciate director of stu- dent financial assis- tance, said. "Actu- ally, our default rate just went down one-hundredth of a percent, but that's nothing consider- ing the magnitude and the volume of the number of loans we give out here."

Julie Rosfeld, freshman in pre- psychology, was one of 14,000- 15,000, or about 70 percent of K-State students, who took advantage of gov- ernment financial assistance by taking out loans. She said she worried how she would finance her education.

"I don't know what I would do for sure if I wasn't re- ceiving aid," Rosfeld said. "Hav- ing debts right out of college won't be fun, but I think it's worth it. I know I'll get mine paid off as fast as possible."

The sounds of the 1920s and '30s echoed through Ahearn Field House while students learned dances from the era of speakeasies and zoot suits.

"It's something new," Elisha Kratty, freshman in open option, said. "Going from mosh pits and slam dancing to this is some- thing I think people are looking for."

The Ballroom Dance Club offered Latin ballroom and swing dance classes for credit spring semester.

"In a 90-minute class, I can easily teach the basics," Joshua Hernandez, class instruc- tor, said. "Later they have the option of tak- ing private lessons."

The class, limited to 40 participants, filled, and Hernandez said he turned people away. Kratty, club president, said the recent popularity of big band music stirred interest.

"It's fun," she said. "I've always liked dancing, and this is something new and ex- citing to do."

Members and non members took the classes. Many students said they enrolled in the class to learn a new dance form.

"I like the classiness of it all," said Mike Hodgson, December graduate who took the class with Katie Laux, senior in journalism and mass communications. "I think swing dancing is a little more formal than regular dancing. That's what appeals to me."

iw students

Kevin Siemers, senior in art and second- ary education, said he enrolled because he wanted to improve his dancing ability.

"It's fast paced," he said. "You get to do it with a partner. In a sense, you get to commu- nicate with another person in a much more formal manner."

Due to better publicity, club membership increased from 50 to 150 students, Kratty said. She said officers increased club recogni- tion by having an information booth in the K- State Student Union and posting signs.

"With the growth of swing dancing, the club has become a lot more active," she said. "We're a lot more organized now."

Hernandez said although the club started in 1997, it took a year to become organized and get the word out to students.

He said the club provided students with opportunities to learn different forms of swing dancing, including the Lindy Hop and Jive, which drew students to join. The club sponsored several activities throughout the year, including free lessons for members and trips to see professional dancers.

Many students who joined the club shared an interest in big band music and said its renewed popularity didn't surprise them.

"Anything that people have fun doing is worth getting back," Siemers said. "It sticks around."

Icthus members encouraged students to make a date with God for Valentine's Day.

The Christian-based group organized a retreat, "All About Love," for the holiday weekend to educate students about God' s part in relationships.

George Bocox, senior in accounting, said the retreat, at Living Water Ranch, was open to all Icthus members.

"We are going to be covering anything up to marriage," Bocox said. "We are looking for people who are in relationships and teaching them how to keep God in them. We are also looking for people not in relationships. It will teach them what to look for in a relationship and how to communicate when they are in one."

Rion Russel, sophomore in family studies and human services, said issues covered at the retreat were important to college students.

"I think it is great for students because we are at a point in our lives that we start to face the reality of getting married," Russell said. "A retreat like this can start to build a foundation for a marriage or a relationship down the road."

During the day Saturday, Feb. 13, the more than 50 participants were divided by gender to discuss dating and keeping a Godly relationship. That evening, they gathered for reflection and worship. Sunday, they watched videos of Tommy

Nelson speeches based on the Song of Solomon.

The weekend retreat benefited Icthus and its members, Bocox said.

"I think it was a good chance for the community to pull away and be with each other," Bocox said. "With the stress of school, you don't always get to be with friends. It gives us time as Icthus to be together and bond."

Many students, such as Russell, attended the retreat with their significant others.

"Both of us have a desire to have a Christian- based relationship with biblical values," Russell said. "By attending together we can learn how God is important in our relationship and what part we want him to play in our relationship, too."

The retreat was helpful for learning about one's self, Michelle Gras, senior in education, said.

"It' s about finding our security in God and not our significant other," she said. "I think it's good that we will learn more about that."

Although Icthus members worried the weekend might conflict with plans, Bocox said the timing actually benefited them.

"It's the holiday that most people think about who they are dating, and I think the retreat will help them edify God in their relationship," Bocox said. "Overall, it increased attendance."

For Major Steven Dorfman, summer was anything but relaxing.

An assistant professor of aerospace stud- ies and commandant of cadets for K-State's Air Force ROTC program, Dorfman received the Air Force Achievement Medal for his work in managing and coordinating the Air Force ROTC training camp, May 26-July 1 at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

"This was not an easy medal to get," Colonel Stan Weir, Detachment 270 Com- mander and professor of aerospace studies, said. "He worked 24 hours a day. He did an outstanding job."

Dorfman and Weir arrived one week be- fore the camp began to organize equipment and prepare. Once the camp started, they drilled and educated the 208 collegiate cadets.

The cadets awoke at 5:30 a.m., and as staff, Dorfman began his day about 4:30 a.m.

Cadets followed a basic schedule, con- sisting of physical training, drills, marches and sports activities in the morning, fol- lowed by academic and leadership training. Afternoons were devoted to teaching Air Force customs, courtesies and history.

"It's basically a 24-hour-a-day introduc- tion to the Air Force," Weir said. "Every cadet has to be in the Professional Officer's Course their junior and senior year. This is

eaa

something they have to complete first."

Dorfman coordinated the camp for ca- dets with no prior Air Force ROTC training. Another camp helped experienced cadets.

"It does its best to catch them up. Obvi- ously, experience means a lot," Dorfman said. "But this should put them education- ally, at least knowledge-wise, on the same level as the kids who have been in the pro- gram for two years."

Dorfman said problem-solving activities, like obstacle courses, built leadership skills.

"A lot of the activities develop team- work, pride in oneself and definitely chal- lenge the individual to do something they've never done before," Dorfman said. "It serves as an evaluation tool for the staff to see if they would make an effective Air Force officer."

To qualify for the Achievement Medal, Dorfman participated in two summers of activities training. However, Dorfman's first experience with the camp came in 1984 when he attended as a cadet.

The Achievement Medal was designated for achievements beyond what was re- quired. Weir said Dorfman did just that.

"He did an outstanding job leadership- wise," Weir said. "He was experienced from doing this last year, and he used that experi- ence very well."

Jazz music, stars fill weekend

ate Jazz Quintet experienced something femcollegiate musicans did. They backed up professional performers.

The quintet played with nationally known jazz performers — including Carmen Bradford, Kevin Mahogany and The Van- guard Jazz Orchestra — during the 1999 Kan- sas State University Jazz Festival Feb. 13. Dennis Wilson, assistant professor of music and festival executive director, said the Quintet's work was important to the performances.

"The K-State Jazz Quin- tet is the backbone and flag- ship of this program," Wil- son said. "They are the clos- est thing we have to profes- sionals. Without them doing the things they did during the festival, I would not be able to invite these artists and have them leave their accompanists at home."

Allowing the quintet to work with the performers was crucial Wilson said.

"The student connection is the most important part for me," he said. "My prom- ise to them is to have them work with the professionals as much as possible."

The professional per- formers had certain goals they wanted to teach the students.

"I want them to enjoy this music," Bradford said. "I want them to take it seri- ously. It's serious to sing. It's challenging, and it's a healing experience to sing."

Doreen Comerford, vocalist for the quin-

tet and graduate student in psychology, said the interaction with professionals during lectures and jam sessions was priceless.

"They give clinics, and I've gone to the vocal clinics and learned so much there," Comerford said. "It gives you a chance to ask them any question you have from, 'How do you deal with being on the road,' to any musical questions you have."

Professionals also shared knowledge stu- dents could not get in class, Comerford said.

"There is only so much you can learn from a textbook," she said. "Everyday we can go in and ask a professor about book knowl- edge, but it is nice to have a professional here to give us real-world knowledge."

Students involved in the quintet not only played back-up, but Robert Roman, gradu- ate student in music, arranged, "My One and Only Love," which Kevin Mahogany sang during the festival's concert.

"I've been studying jazz arrangement for four years with Dennis Wilson, and he asked me if I wanted to arrange a song," Roman said. "It's really hard when you are arrang- ing to get your music played, especially when you are a student. To have a festival like this and be able to have a professional perform a song I arranged is just incred- ible."

Other K-State jazz groups, such as Flute Juice, Concert Jazz Ensemble, Lab A Big Band and more than 17 ensembles from area high schools and community colleges, also participated in the festival.

The high school students were eligible to earn a scholarship from Berklee College of Music. The college awarded a scholarship to one student from each participating school totaling more than $10,000.

Scott Bradley, band instructor for Rock Creek High School, said he wanted to intro- duce his students to different types of music.

"You can go to a concert festival and listen to concert bands all day, but there aren't that many jazz festivals," Bradley said. "I want to give them that opportunity to hear other jazz bands and to get ideas that they can work on over the next few months."

Although the main purpose of the festival was to hone students' musical skills, another important part was to educate the students and the public about the roots of jazz and those who helped shape the music, Wilson said. To do so, Gov. Bill Graves declared the Festival's date, Feb. 13, as Sarah Vaughan Day throughout Kansas. Vaughan was a jazz singer born in 1924.

During the festival's evening concert, a previously unreleased Sarah Vaughan song, "I Have Waited So Long" was debuted.

National Public Radio's JazzSet with Branford Maraslis broadcast Vaughan's song, along with the performances of Bradford, Mahogany and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.

Wilson said attracting JazzSet, a nation- ally syndicated jazz show, was not difficult.

"The artists are top notch, all three of them," Wilson said. "The world premiere of Sarah Vaughan's song and the creation of Sarah Vaughan Day in the state of Kansas were attractive to them. I started planning this two years ago, and it took me five min- utes to convince them. Once I told them who I had for them, they said, 'Wow.' '

Wilson said having the broadcast also noted the quintet's success.

"JazzSet with Wynton Marsalis, doesn't go around the country doing this at col- leges," he said. "We are probably the only one they've done this for. They do their con- certs at Carnegie Hall, or the Lincoln Center, or the Kennedy Center in Washington. We have a big-time concert. This is a concert that could also be done at Carnegie Hall, with all the glory that Carnegie Hall brings with its name."

for fifth ti

Once the cards were counted and reasons given, the Livestock Judging team took home its fifth-straight win from the National Livestock Judging Contest in Louisville, Ky.

K-State broke the record of four consecu- tive wins it set in 1997.

In overall individual competition, Bryan Kasselman, senior in animal sciences and industry, won first place and Jamie Horrie, senior in animal sciences and industry, took second. Both competed against 180 contes- tants at the championship.

"It was a major accomplishment. It was probably one of the happiest moments of my life," Horrie said. "And if I was going to get beat by somebody, I definitely wanted it to be somebody on my team."

Kasselman was also pleased with his per- formance.

"I'm just glad I could contribute that many points to the team effort," he said. "I'd rather for the team to win than for me to win as an individual."

Each contestant could earn a total of 1 ,000 points. Kasselman received 945 while Horrie scored 942.

To win points, individuals judged classes of swine, sheep and cattle. Using judging cards, they ranked each class of four animals by desirable characteristics and told their reasons for the rankings to a judge. Individu- als' scores combined for a team score.

The day of the contest, members talked of getting the fifth-straight win.

"Everything was really tense, and you could feel the pressure," he said. "But the day of the contest, we were the team to beat. "

The top five teams in each species were announced before the overall winner at an awards ceremony the next day.

"There's lots of time you sit there, and you know you've won it," Horrie said. "But this was one of those where we were all sitting there with our fingers crossed, just hoping we had it."

As the top five sheep and swine teams were announced, anticipation dwindled.

"After we weren't in the top five, I wasn't really nervous. I was disappointed," Kasselman said. "All I had was hope after that. I didn't think we'd got it done."

Then the results of cattle were an- nounced. K-State won with 1,898 out of 2,000 points, beating out second place by 34 points — a large margin and enough to put K-State in first place.

"It was a nail biter," Scott Schaake, team coach and associate professor in animal sci- ence, said. "I don't remember it ever happen- ing like that. We were only mentioned in the top five of one species, and yet we still win the contest. And there were three other schools that were in the top five in all three species and didn't end up winning."

The city's chess club, which dissolved in spring 1998, reestablished as K-State-Man- hattan Chess Club in September.

"We got three students to start the club," Ray Paul, club president and senior in physi- cal science, said. "We got an adviser. We organized with a president and treasurer. We are thinking of adding a tournament director and advertiser, but it's too soon."

Paul said he began thinking about a new club soon after their meeting place, Dax Games, closed.

"I thought it was a great idea," Wendy Slate, treasurer and graduate student in edu- cation, said. "Being a campus organization, we had access to a lot of people we didn't have before."

The group started with five members in the fall and expanded to 17 in the spring. Some members were more dedicated than others, Paul said.

"We have about seven who usually come in," he said. "Under that, we have another three or four who come in and out."

Local Manhattan residents, students and faculty came together on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. in Union 205 to sharpen their skills.

"My family plays," Sharon Entz, sopho- more in milling science, said. "My brother, father and grandfather always beat me. I went away to college and worked to improve my game."

Members learned both casual and com- petitive techniques, but Paul said students could learn the basics in one meeting.

"It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to teach the moves," Paul said. "It takes another 30 minutes to learn to use the moves and play the game."

He said beginners benefited from attend- ing but could not expect overnight success.

"We start to teach basic structure of the game and the basic theory and defense," Paul said. "That is a stepping stone to their creativity."

The club didn't attend any tournaments fall 1998 because of its small numbers but organized a small tournament for March in Manhattan Town Center.

The club planned to use the mall tourna- ment as a fund-raiser. In addition, members paid $5 in dues to fund basic supplies.

"Most of the expenses are for fliers," Paul said. "There are club sets and boards, and books. Our library has 20 to 25 chess books that members can check out."

Participating in the club allowed mem- bers to socialize while expanding their minds, Paul said.

"It's good to have some form of chess for an academic background, " he said. "It re- quires a lot of analytical thinking, and it's a good recreation, especially for those who do a lot in school."

After studying on a campus that lacked a choir, about 15 K-State-Salina students filled the void.

In late October, Roger Steinbrock, assis- tant director of K-State-Salina College Ad- vancement, met with students interested in beginning the Salina Chorus.

"I think for a long time there were a lot of techies who loved computers and loved gad- gets and were totally wrapped up in that," Jon Watkins, chorus member and junior in land information technology, said. "The only reason they were here was to work on high-tech stuff. This shows we're getting a more diverse group of students."

Steinbrock, who sang in Men's Glee Club as a student on the Manhattan campus, said the group broke the misconception that K- State-Salina students were strictly technol- ogy-minded introverts. He said the campus was becoming a place for more traditional students with a variety of talents.

Watkins said he welcomed the group as he already sang in the Kansas Wesleyan University choir.

"It's always great to get together with those who have the same likes and interests in it," he said. "It was nice to see all the people I didn't know and find out they liked to sing as much as I did."

Watkins said the chorus wasn't up to the caliber of the other choir he belonged to, but

that was not its purpose.

"It's more just for personal enjoyment, just giving the students a chance," Watkins said. "(It's) something else we can get to- gether and do."

The choir found an audience at K-State- Salina events, such as the Dean's Holiday Party, the spring awards banquet and gradu- ation, where they sang the national anthem.

"It was a really nice setting, and the stu- dents did an awesome job," said Steinbrock, who led the group but said he didn't deserve the title of director. "They picked up the music a few days before and sang a cappella."

In addition to the recognition students got performing, Natasha Kennedy, fresh- man in aviation maintenance, said it helped her adjust to college life.

"Until I got in the choir, I would sit in my room and not socialize," she said. "After I got in the choir, they would ask me to come hang out with them."

After the group As first semester, Watkins said he hoped to increase membership and performances. He suggested targeting in- coming students at a welcome event.

"I'd definitely like to see the numbers grow," Watkins said. "Generally, the more people you have, the better the sound. It's always more fun to have more people with the same interests."

Belonging to two organizations in need of money gave Seiji Ikeda an idea: a fund- raiser that would benefit the Men's Rowing Team and Habitat for Humanity.

"We were just sitting around complain- ing about the funds for rowing, and we de- cided, 'Hey, why don't we do something about it,' " Ikeda, senior in fine arts, said. "We chose Habitat for Humanity to help us with it because both groups had similar needs."

Row for Humanity resulted. The event took place 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 16 and 17 in the K-State Student Union Courtyard.

Ninety-six participants rowed 1.14 mil- lion meters during the event.

"Some of the guys on the rowing team can row up to 15,000 meters," Will Long, Habitat for Humanity president and senior in biological and agricultural engineering, said. "Obviously, it's impossible for the Habitat people to do that, but we do our best and try to have fun."

Participants rowed on ergometers, row- ing machines the team practiced on when weather forced them inside.

"It's like a bike-a-thon, only people get pledges for how far they can row on the erg instead of how far they can bike or run," Megan Willey, senior in business adminis- tration, said.

Because the men's rowing team was not a

varsity sport, the club team needed to raise $34,000 a year to compete.

Of the net profit, 15 percent went to Habi- tat for Humanity. The rest went to the men's, women's and high school rowing teams.

"The set-up, structure and organization was much better than last year," Ikeda said "We did a good job meeting our goals."

All the money Habitat for Humanity raised went toward the student chapter of Habitat for Humanity in Manhattan.

"We're trying to raise about $2,000 to $3,000 for Habitat to help us build a house. That costs about $18,000," Long said. "Our goal is to build a house with money from just the Manhattan student chapter, and this event will help us reach that goal."

To give rowers extra motivation, each rower was randomly selected to compete on one of four teams. The red, blue, yellow and green teams competed to see who could row the most meters and raise the most money.

Participants collected pledges for every 100 meters rowed and fixed donations.

Local businesses, including Dillons, New York Bagel Shop and Streetside Records, made contributions to the event.

"We want to give back to the commu- nity," Amanda Kiefer, senior in political sci- ence, said. "We're also looking for a way to get recognized because we're such a new sport."

Some campus organizations found dif- ferent ways to raise money.

Park and Recreation Management Club members earned theirs stealing from squir- rels.

Members gathered acorns from Bur Oak trees on campus, at Tuttle Creek State Park and other Manhattan-area sites to sell to nurseries.

"We scout them out really early in the fall and decide which areas are going to be good," said Laura Sleichter, president and senior in park resource management. "We try to beat the squirrels to them, which is hard to do."

Sleichter said 20 to 30 club members gath- ered 2,000 pounds of acorns and sold them for 50 to 75 cents a pound.

"That's a lot of acorns, considering how little they are," Sleichter said. "We went out about four different times for around two hours at a time."

The Park and Recreation Management Club was not the only organization that found creative ways to raise money. KSU Metalsmithing Society members repaired jewelry and household items for a fee.

"We basically move the studio from the third floor of Willard Hall to the City Park in the Pavilion for a weekend," Elliott Pujol, adviser and professor of art, said. "We start on Friday afternoon and stay until Sunday."

The club used the money from the spring 1999 fund-raiser to go to conferences and bring in guest speakers.

Pujol said the club took polishing tools, torches, welding equipment and grinders to repair items. He said students brought in everything from statues to earrings.

"We have a motto that we use," he said. "We can't fix cats; we can't fix broken hearts, but we'll fix anything else."

As a way to fund trips and other activi- ties, the Bakery Science Club had weekly bake sales Wednesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. on the first floor of Shellenberger Hall.

"We bake on Tuesday nights," Melissa Frick, vice president and junior in bakery science and management, said. "We start around 4 and just bake until we're done at about 10:30."

Each week, 15 to 20 members made three to four batches of cookies, one batch of bread and one batch of another food, such as muf- fins or bagels, Frick said.

"We generally sell out," she said. "If we have monster cookies, they sell out by 3:30, and everything else is usually gone by 4:30."

Fund-raisers were a way for members to be involved and learn more about the organi- zation.

"This is a way for our students to learn more," Pujol said. "And it's a good fund- raiser as well."

One Karate Club member learned the self-defense sport crossed language barriers.

Takahisa Komatsu, a graduate of Hosei University in Tokyo, came to K-State to study English through the English Language Program. He took and then taught karate lessons through the club.

"Students generally come for about a week and a half," Charlene Gibson, karate instructor, said. "He decided to stay and study English."

Komatsu said studying karate in the United States didn't differ from Japan.

"Everyone knows karate, and it is one of the most popular sports in Japan," Komatsu said. "I am surprised that Americans know so much about karate."

Komatsu participated as a student in the fall and helped teach in the spring.

"He's a black belt, and it was different to have him as a student rather than an instruc- tor," she said.

Komatsu studied English but had diffi- culties communicating words, Gibson said.

"We sometimes have a challenge with the language," Gibson said. "But since all of our techniques are in Japanese, it still works out when he tries to get his point across."

Karate Club members practiced an an- cient form of self-defense known as Okinawan Gojo-Ryu Karate-Do. It origi- nated in Japan with peasant farmers who

needed to protect themselves from danger.

"They had to disguise it and make it very beautiful," Gibson said. "In case someone came along and saw them, they would think they were dancing."

The club met from 7 to 9 p.m., Mondays and Thursdays in Ahearn Field House. In- structors dedicated the first hour of practice to new members and reserved the second for advanced students.

Many members had no prior training in self-defense sports, but others had experi- ence in different forms of karate.

"I had no experience before coming up here except for what I had read and saw in the movies," Roy Monfort, sophomore in sociology, said. "I want to get into law en- forcement, so I thought it would be good to help me get in shape."

Members used numbers and commands to punctuate their workouts and learned Japanese terms for different blocks.

"We encourage students to listen to the count and think about it," Gibson said. "In a short time, they can at least say the numbers in Japanese."

Some students' previous knowledge of karate was derived only from movies and television, Monfort said.

"The movies tend to be a lot more flashy," Monfort said, "but I have a new appreciation for Jackie Chan."

to clean lots-

Black Student Union members cared for their adopted parking lot by picking up trash and making sure it was presentable to cam- pus visitors.

As the first organization to participate in the Adopt-a-Lot Program at K-State, the club cleaned the K-State Student Union parking lot twice a month.

Dwain Archer, BSU adviser, said the idea originated to help KSU Division of Facilities clean after events, like Homecoming and Family Weekend.

"Facilities keeps the campus clean, but after the event is over, they need all the help they can get," Archer said. "We help with that. We go out and clean up."

Until other organizations agreed to join, the group not only cared for the Union, but also cleaned parking lots by McCain Audito- rium and across the street from the Union.

"We've selected several lots around cam- pus to basically pick up trash and debris," Archer said. "It's like the adopt-a-mile pro- gram for interstate highways."

President Brandon Clark, junior in el- ementary education, said about 30 of the club's 120 members took 30 minutes to help each time. Even if they were just passing through, members made an effort to make

their lot look good.

"If we come across trash, we make it a point to pick it up," he said. "It's our lot with our name on it, and we don't want it to look unclean."

Darwin Abbott, director of Parking Ser- vices, said the program made students think.

"It makes people more aware. They're less likely to throw down a Coke can or a candy wrapper," he said. "They'll take a little pride in the university. It's one to be proud of. It's a pretty campus."

Clark said their sign in the Union lot, naming BSU as the lot's adopter, raised inter- est. Abbott said Phi Gamma Delta, Chi Omega and Golden Key also asked to join the program.

"We take a lot of pride in that we were the first student organization," Clark said. "People see our sign and now are calling to see how they can get involved."

Clark said although the lot required up- keep, the club enjoyed what they accom- plished.

"We wind up having a good time," Clark said. "We go out there and joke around and have fun. We make it a competition of who can pick up the most. It's a pretty fun experi- ence."

gtime Willie retires his job.

lie J fou I

e Superman/Clark Kent act ended after our years.

Jamie Adcock, senior in hotel and restau- rant management, revealed his identity as K- State's varsity mascot, Willie the Wildcat, when he retired after the Big 12 Champion- ship football game in St. Louis Dec. 5.

Adcock first tried out for the position with the cheerleading squad in fall 1995, and he said he didn't realize Willie's identity was supposed to be a secret.

"You're not supposed to tell anyone. I didn't know that," Adcock said. "So people knew that I'd tried out. Then the first game came, and everybody wanted me to go tail- gate, and I couldn't go. The people see me on the sidelines, and they want to know what's going on. It's tough to keep under wraps."

Adcock said his feistiness and creative abilities helped him think of ways to get the crowd's attention at games. He said standing on the Dev Nelson Press Box at football games, riding his motorcycle to appearances in costume and sledding down the aisles at Bramlage Coliseum were potentially dan- gerous situations, but that didn't dissuade him.

"1 get up on the press box, and if I fall, I'm a splattered pancake," Adcock said. "I never worry about self-preservation. It's all about the show."

Riding a motorcycle to appearances and during games while in costume was one tradition Adcock said he started but didn't know if it would continue.

"It's hard to ride a motorcycle with the head on," he said. "A cop called and said I shouldn't be doing that. They didn't think I could see very well, and you can't, but you

can at the same time. I could see well enough to do what I needed to do, and people aren't going to hurt Willie."

Adcock said he missed being Willie, but he retired because the time commitment re- quired wouldn't be conducive to graduating in the spring and finding a job.

"I've been here a lot longer than I should've been, and it's because of the little furry guy. I can only take about 12 hours a semester when I should've been taking 16 or 17 to get out," Adcock said. "As fun as it is, I'd like to be Willie for the rest of my life. That would be a riot."

Adcock wrote a year-end report listing about 150 appearances he participated in during his last year as Willie.

"I understand he had other commit- ments, and he's a student and wanted to graduate," Jim Muller, associate director of Bramlage Coliseum, said. "It's a heavy time commitment, and you have to be in good physical condition.

"It's a lot of work when you do it right like he did," he said. "He put a lot of work into it. He made Willie a unique character."

The junior varsity Willie inherited the varsity position when Adcock retired. The new Willie had been the junior varsity mas- cot for two years and worked closely with Adcock, who gave advice on how to play the role.

"I'm scared to not have him around be- cause he's been there and done that. Any question I have, he can answer," said Willie, whose true identity would remain a secret until his reign as Willie ended. "I associated that we were a team, and now it's gone. I am (continued on Page 171)

scared that if something goes bad or I need something at the last minute, I'll have no idea who to call. He was very good at it."

Adcock said he wanted his replacement to get big-game experience at the Builders Square Alamo Bowl Dec. 29. He also wanted to see a game from a different perspective.

"For the four years I've been here, I haven't really been able to watch a game," Adcock said. "I've been on the sideline. I enjoyed our team, and I really thought we had the best team in the nation. I just wanted to be a fan for once and not have to sign autographs and catch the last minute of a big play instead of seeing the whole thing."

The loss to Purdue was hard to take, Adcock said.

"Over the years I've been here, I've got- ten such a relationship with the guys," he said of the football team. "I don't know if me being out there would've helped them at all because I would see them in the locker room before they came out and stuff. I'm not say- ing I wasn't Willie, and I lost the game for us all. There's nothing you can really do in the stands. I could've had a part on the field, I think."

"I thought it was really neat that she'd taken the time to write that," said Beth, Kelli's sister and senior at Union Town High School. "It was a great way for Kelli to end her time at K-State. It was about the best present she could have given us."

Kelli said she nominated her family be- cause of the love and support they gave her.

"My parents have truly given me the roots I need to spread my wings and succeed at Kansas State University," Kelli wrote in her essay. "They have gone far beyond the call of duty by being my No. 1 fan in any activity in which I participated."

Chimes, a junior honorary, sponsored the essay contest to honor students' families. Stacy Witsman, Chimes programming chair, said the contest recognized families who did a good job supporting their children and K- State. Students submitted 500 to 1,000-word essays about their families. Chimes mem- bers judged the essays and announced the winners at halftime of the football game against Northeast Louisiana State.

"We were looking for a family that pro- vided support in both educational and social realms," Witsman, junior in political science, said. "We wanted a family with positive support."

Witsman said Kelli's essay showed her family possessed those qualities.

"Whether I was good at something or failed miserably, they have always been one step behind me," Kelli wrote. "To pat my back, or pick me up and dust me off and tell me to try harder."

Her father said she was often successful.

"She's pretty gifted overall," Joe Ludlum said. "But when she wasn't a star, we talked to her about how important it was that she be part of a team."

, Kelli's family echoed the love and sup- port she voiced in her essay.

"Kelli will always be my best friend and my hero all in one," Beth said. "The way she conducts herself, handles situations and deals with other people has always im- pressed me."

In her essay, Kelli noted her parents' sup- port of K-State and the faith they had in the school.

"They are tremendous supporters of me, their community and Kansas State Univer- sity," she wrote. "Because of the roots they have given me, my wings are strong enough to push me toward the future."

— for national

Andy Armbruster beat out 34 other candidates to become the National Central Region vice president and started his job at the 71st National FFA Convention Nov. 15 in Kansas City, Mo.

A junior in agricultural economics, Armbruster first ran for a national board position in 1997. He did not win and was determined to try again.

"I wanted to be a national officer in the FFA because it is a great opportunity to build young people," Armbruster said. "With many members, being an officer is a great oppor- tunity for servant leadership. Some people like math; some like business. I like servant leadership."

During the four-day application process, Armbruster completed seven rounds of personal interviews, a writing assessment, and a 100-question test on agriculture, FFA, parliamentary procedure and education.

Mary Kane, executive secretary of Kansas FFA Associa- tion, helped him prepare.

"We worked consistently on bringing out his strengths as an individual,'' Kane said, "whether it was thinking about his thoughts and his beliefs about agriculture, education, FFA and himself personally."

Abra Ungeheuer, junior in agricultural economics, and Brad Montgomery, senior in agricultural economics, also worked with Kane to prepare Armbruster for interviews. The three set up weekly mock interviews with a variety of local businesses and set up high school workshops for him to lead.

"I have known Andy for a long time," Ungeheuer said. "I knew he wanted to fill this position, and he was a good candidate for it. Preparing was something he could not do by himself. I sacrificed a lot to help him, but I knew he wasn't doing it for personal benefits. He wanted to take advantage of an opportunity and help others."

As the Central Region vice president, Armbruster planned to travel to 14 states, Washington, D.C., and Japan, spending 250 nights in hotels. He said drawbacks to the job included living styles and missing his friends.

"Fast food all the time and living out of a suitcase is not ideal," Armbruster said. "Life goes on for my friends at K- State, and I miss a year of spending time with them. When I come back, a lot might have changed."

During his travels, Armbruster promoted FFA and built partnerships for the organization. He also spent time visiting with school administrators and community leaders and working with FFA members.

Armbruster planned to return to school in spring 2000 because officers could not reapply for board positions.

"I think it's great," he said. "Working with great people and students and traveling to parts of America and the world that I probably wouldn't travel to on my own is excellent. This had been a goal of mine for eight years, and it is everything I thought it would be and more."

marching band's

The K-State Marching Band marched into history with record-high membership.

The band, in its sixth year under the direction of Frank Tracz, had 305 members, more than twice the number when Tracz first became director.

"I have to say, most of the increase extends from the leadership of Frank Tracz," Wayne Goins, assistant band director, said. "He's a great ambassador. Under his leadership, he's put the marching band on the map. I think the recruiting of Dr. Tracz going out to schools makes a big difference."

Tracz estimated he spent 40 percent of his time recruiting high school band members. He visited schools, wrote letters and called prospective students, but he said he wouldn't take complete credit for the band's success.

"Winning football games, then national championship hype and the fever, man that's got an awful lot to do with it. There's no question about it." Tracz said. "The football team's success has translated into a lot of people at this university's success and a lot of organizations' success as well."

Bert Clark, alto saxophone player and senior in management information systems, said Tracz had a big effect.

"You can't deny the fact that the football team has helped out," Clark said. "But also, Dr. Tracz's recruiting efforts and his excitement and work ethic that he puts forth

on his students really makes people want to be in the band."

Goins said the band's quality increased with its growth.

"What it has done is create a much higher level of competition," Goins said. "That means the level of the performance is going to be higher, because people are working harder to keep their seats, and that's always good. It makes the level of music go up across the board. It's wonderful."

Besides increasing the band's quality, Tracz said the success on the football field allowed the band to do more things and lure even more students with the excitement.

"There are more kids that are interested. It's a lot of fun to go play for the Wildcats on the football sideline," Tracz said. "It's affected the band in a positive way, and we're doing things that these students would never have done on their own, from a Big 12 championship game in St. Louis to the Alamo Bowl. We had a darn good time there. It was fun. We lost, but boy it was fun."

Despite the success, Tracz said the band had reached its size limit as it had just enough uniforms and instruments to go around.

"Right now, it's to the point that it's a hard task to learn all their names," he said. "I used to pride myself on being able to do that and this year, for the first time, I didn't know them all."

The Paw Print left its first mark in November.

That was when the Society for Creative Writers pub- lished the first issue of its student-produced literary maga- zine. Club members, who contributed all content for the 20- page issue, said they expected to receive works from outside the club and expand future issues.

"We would like to increase the size to about 45 or 50 pages," Teresa Huffman, president and sophomore in En- glish and pre-veterinary medicine, said. "That's the hardest part right now, trying to get people to submit stuff. We know there are writers out there."

If enough writers could be found, members planned to publish monthly issues during the school year, except De- cember and May.

"We have our deadlines set at the first of the month, and we print it in the middle of the month," Chad Hurlbert, vice president and sophomore in business, said. "With finals those months, it is impossible."

At the first of each month, editors compiled stories, poems, essays or artwork created by students or faculty members. All submitted entries were accepted, but editors reserved the right to modify work with vulgar, sexually explicit or offensive content.

"The goal was to provide a magazine to which everyone at K-State can submit their works and expect to get pub- lished," Melody Ortloff, editor and sophomore in English literature, said. "Other magazines are hard to get into, and ours is not. We publish just about everything that gets submitted under certain guidelines and standards."

In addition to writing and editing, members also pro- duced the magazine. Hurlbert donated $30 to fund the first printing costs.

"I haven't seen my money back yet," Hurlbert said. "But if it becomes a lasting legacy, I guess I can take the loss."

Copy Co offered a 50-percent discount for printing the magazine in exchange for an advertisement on the back page. Four bookstores sold the magazines for $1.50 each, and club members sold copies at a table in the K-State Student Union. Ortloff said proceeds from sales were used to offset publishing costs and fund workshops.

Published authors received a free magazine, which mem- bers said they hoped would increase recognition and contri- butions.

Works could be submitted on computer disk or via e- mail. The club also maintained a website, unvzv.geocities.com/ SoHo/Workshop/1981, which contained the magazine's online version.

Despite initial problems, Ron Dushane, junior adviser, said he was optimistic about the future of the magazine.

"I hope it's here for years and years to come, " he said. "So when we come in as senior citizens and alumni of the school, it will still be here and will still be going."

solar car creators

-to earn monev

Although only 22 engineering students were on the K-State Solar Car Team, anyone could contribute by taking advantage of the team's adopt-a-cell program.

A $20 donation adopted a cell on the solar array, the car's only source of energy and biggest expense. The donation covered the cell's cost, encapsulant, tabbing materi- als and mounting.

"It's good for the team because it allows the public to get involved with the car and feel some enthusiasm toward the car," Jason Northup, project manager and senior in me- chanical engineering, said in February. "We've sold about 100 so far."

Consisting of 706 cells, each requiring encapsulation, the solar array was the big- gest challenge the team faced. The fund- raiser helped defray the $200,000 to $300,000 cost, Mike Wilson, senior in electrical engi- neering, said.

The team entered its car, Apollo, in the June 20-29 Sunrayce, a biennial solar car race in which 40 collegiate teams competed to design the fastest, most efficient car. The race began in Washington, D.C., and ended 1,300 miles later in Orlando, Fla.

K-State's first solar car, Solution, placed 24th out of 36 in the 1997 Sunrayce. Team members hoped to improve upon the 1997 car to achieve a top-10 finish.

"In 1997, we wanted to build a simple car

that would finish the race," Damian Brandenburg, mechanical group team leader and senior in mechanical engineering, said, "but this year we want to make a car that's faster, more efficient and that won't break down as often."

The team encountered several chal- lenges in making Apollo superior to its pre- decessor, such as making the car more aero- dynamic. A standard car's drag coefficient was .3 percent, but Apollo's was .07 percent.

"Making the first car work took a lot of effort," Brandenburg said, "and we're work- ing at least twice as hard to make this one work better."

Making the car better required team members to use what they learned in the classroom, as well as to gain new knowledge.

"I've learned a lot of practical stuff about electronics, like soldering and other things that you just can't learn in the classroom," Eric Shumaker, electrical group team leader and senior in electrical engineering, said.

Northup said alternative methods of en- ergy, such as solar power, could be valuable in the future.

"I don't think that all cars are going to be completely solar powered or anything like that in the near future," he said, "but I think more of what we are doing is just opening people's eyes to new ideas that are out there and helping them see what is possible."

Sponsor betomes home for soccer team

eech, Lucky BrewGrille owner, under-

bd how tough it was to receive limited university funding for a sports club.

So when Eric Glover, president and se- nior in chemical engineering, asked Leech to sponsor the men's soccer club, Leech agreed. He said he remembered similar frustrations from his college days.

"I know how it is," said Leech, member of K-State's track team from 1982 to 1984. "It is tough not receiving much financial support from the university when you are on a team. Your budgets are small."

Leech helped pay for the club to travel to nationals in Statesboro, Ga. He also helped alleviate the cost of 20 pullover jackets to make the team look unified.

"They are good guys," Leech said. "I wanted to help out. I do not do much but what I can."

Glover said money was not the only ben- efit of having Lucky's as a sponsor. He said it sometimes felt like the university did not care about the team, and having Lucky's as a contact helped.

"Bob was pretty excited about getting involved with one of the teams around the campus," Glover said. "We use Lucky's as a meeting place, and it is nice since a lot of the guys go out there anyway."

The team had never had a sponsor, and Glover said he thought finding one was part of his duty as president.

"I think it is left up to whoever is presi- dent and whatever ideas they come up with," he said. "I just felt like we needed a place to be our sponsor and a place we could call ours."

Leech said he never expected the spon- sorship to help his business but wanted his business to be the club's official home

"I think it was a great idea for a sponsor," Charlie Hedgcoth, adviser of the men's and women's soccer clubs and professor of bio- chemistry, said. "It's nice to have someone in the community involved in the club."

Due to lack of university funding, the team faced its first year without a coach, Mike Remis, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said. Returning members coached the underclass- men-domi- nated team.

"Eric and I kind of took over coaching for the team," Remis said. "It was kind of hard because we are all such good friends. Freshman goalie Kyle McCawley It was a dives to block a goal Jan. 30. The challenge to team placed second at the tourna- help others merit. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) without running the team."

The club participated in 18 games in the fall and four in the spring, winning half. Members also competed in tournament play.

The club was host to 12 teams at the Chartrand Memorial Tournament, Oct. 9-11 at Anneberg Park. In the first game of the round-robin tournament, the men lost to the University of Kansas, 2-1. They went on to beat Highland Community College and Pittsburg State. A three-game point differen- tial of one goal eliminated them from further advancement.

"I think the Chartrand Tourna- ment was the best of all the tourna- ments we played in. We did better than I expected for how young our team was." - Mike Remis, junior in hotel and restau- rant management

"We did better than I expected for how young our team was," Remis said. "We usu- ally only have 10 or 15 fans show up, and we had about 40 for that tournament. There was a good showing, and I think that helped us." Seventeen members traveled to the Na- tional College Soccer Association tourna- ment Nov. 18-22 in Statesboro, Ga. The club played in the open division but did not ad- vance. Remis attributed the 5-4 Daytona Beach loss to inexperience.

"There were two divisions at nationals, one open and one competitive," Remis said. "At that tournament, teams were grouped together basically if they had played one another or not. We lacked the experience we had in past years, which placed us with teams we were unfamiliar with and hadn't played in past years."

The club played its only indoor games at the North American Indoor Soccer Championship Jan. 30 in Wichita. The team took sec- ond out of five teams.

"It's hard to play indoors because we never play in- doors together as a team," Glover said. "We did well, but we always know that we could have done better."

Jared Beeton, senior in park resource and management, said the team faced a challeng- ing and different season.

"We had a unique season," he said. "I really think extra funding helped. It was not to our advantage to not have a coach. That put extra stress on those who did coach, and we had more freshmen on the team than I can ever remember."

By donating their talents, Ruskabank, Horshak, Moneypenny and Porphyria helped Habitat for Humanity raise money and awareness Nov. 6 at the Wareham Opera House.

"This is the most successful year we had in terms of getting people out there," Jenny Wright, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, said. "But because of circumstance, we didn't do as well,"

The circumstances involved an unexpected expense of $300 for sound equipment, Wright said.

"We tried to get the sound equipment from the bar, but Lucky 's (BrewGrille) didn't have any," she said. "We asked one of the bands, but it didn't work in Wareham. That's why we had to rent."

In addition to the sound system expenses, there was an initial $450 Wareham rental fee, Elizabeth Verderber, senior in chemical engineering, said. To cover that fee, Habitat lowered the admission fee to attract more students, she said.

"We had a lot more attendance this year," Verderber said. "They used to be $15 tickets, and we lowered the price to $5."

About 120 people attended the event, compared to 40-50 people the previous year. Due to the high overhead, Habitat kept about $50 of the total profits, which went to the organization, Verderber said.

"They go to our Habitat chapter initially," she said. "Then they go to the Manhattan chapter, but they stay within the community. "

Despite the unexpected events, Verderber said she was pleased with the help they received with the fund-raiser.

"It was great that we got so much support from the community," she said. "It is a lot of fun, and it's good exposure for the bands. We were even on the news this year."

The bands also contributed to the fund.

"The bands sent in about $5 each, about $20 a band, more or less," Wright said. "It was what they would pay to get in."

Dave Devore, lead singer of Horshak and junior in architecture, said helping Habitat with the fund-raiser had positive aspects.

"It was a good cause, and that's always fun, " he said, "The opportunity to play at better venues and with better bands in town made it an easy decision. Money isn't always the most important thing."

The Department of Housing and Dining Services formed an ambassadors' program to give incoming students a differ- ent perspective on life at K-State.

Dana Grant Catania, enrollment management coordina- tor, said the group consisted of students who lived in resi- dence halls, were enthusiastic about living there and wanted to share their experiences with others.

Catania, along with Chuck Werring, director of Housing and Dining Services, started the group.

"It's been an idea that we've wanted to do for a couple of years now," Catania said. "We wanted prospective students to get a real student's view of what living in the residence halls is all about."

Both Werring and Catania said they wanted to give the students an honest view of the residence halls. Until this year, prospective students' questions were answered by Catania or another member of Housing and Dining Services.

"We wanted students to talk to students but not from a rose-colored-glasses perspective," Werring said. "That's not honest. That's not real."

Catania began the ambassador selection process in spring 1998. Applicants completed a series of short-answer questions, and Catania and other ambassador advisers inter- viewed them.

"We looked for someone who was having a good experi- ence within the halls," Catania said. "We needed someone who was not afraid to share that experience with others, someone who wanted to go out and talk to people."

The 14 ambassadors said they enjoyed working one on one with prospective students and giving students a differ- ent view of residence hall life.

"I've talked to a lot of kids and parents who didn't realize everything we had to offer," Nick Lander, sophomore in statistics, said. "I really think we have influenced a lot of people."

The ambassadors participated in on-campus activities, including senior days, college success seminars and All- University Open House. The ambassadors were required to participate in four events each semester.

"It's good to have students working with students, in- stead of just people from the university," Lander said. "It gives them someone to relate to."

One of the ambassadors' main duties was to give visiting students a positive impression of the people and school during tours and one on one conversations.

"We really try to give people that personal touch," Catania said. "We want prospective students to know that here, we care about them."

Werring said students liked the personal attention the ambassadors gave them.

"One person makes a big difference," Werring said. "I think it's important that there is a strong belief in that what we do is important. If you feel that passion, it shows."

When string players formed a new orga- nization in the fall, they set a goal to help fund a professional quartet residency.

That goal became a reality for the K-State chapter of the American String Teacher Asso- ciation with National School Orchestra Asso- ciation when the De Vinci Quartet gave the first performance of its five-day stay Feb. 12.

"It's really exciting," said Segen Smith, membership chairperson and junior in biol- ogy, following the performance for children. "We've all looked forward to it, but it seemed so far away."

AST A raised more than $1,000 to bring the quartet, quadrupling their original goal.

Members played in reduced-price quar- tets and cleaned string instruments, Henry Littich, president and senior in music educa- tion, said. They also received profits from two professors' seven-hour marathon recital.

ASTA members had their own marathon when quartets, partially composed of mem- bers, played at businesses.

"Basically we would just go into their business and play, and people would chuck $1 in a hat or $2," Littich said. "That worked really well."

Along with other students in the Depart- ment of Music, the group's 10 members at- tended recitals, lectures and a panel discus- sion put on by De Vinci Quartet members.

The quartet also had master classes where students could perform and be critiqued.

Littich, who brought 12 of his students to the children's concert, said that performance would be his favorite part of the residency.

"When kids are having a good time, it's fun to watch," he said. "It will just be fun to watch them and watch them learn some- thing, too, because I'll probably learn stuff I didn't know."

During the children's performance, the quartet played excerpts from pieces and showed art slides. Each defended a time period and allowed the audience to vote for their favorite era of music. The Classical Era won, followed closely by 20th Century music.

"I liked the way they argued," 4-year-old Garrison Olds, one of Littich's violin stu- dents, said. "I just thought it was funny because I won."

Cora Cooper, adviser and associate pro- fessor of music, said in the future, members could bring in their own students to perform at meetings, helping the students overcome stage fright. She said she hoped the group would give string players a place beyond orchestra to meet and build relationships.

"It's an excuse for us to get together and have a focal point," Cooper said. "The guys have taken off like wildfire. It is amazing how excited they are to do it."

Some thought the idea of a seven-hour recital was crazy, but they did it anyway.

David Littrell, orchestra director and professor of music, and William Wingfield, instructor of music, put on the 1 1 a.m.to6p.m. recital at All Faiths Chapel Jan. 29.

Littrell played the cello, and Wingfield accompanied him on the piano for the recital, which was equivalent to four normal recitals in one sitting. The two only took five-minute breaks every hour to rosin a bow, stretch or to get a drink of water.

Littrell said he wanted to share the sound of a cello he had just purchased.

"The idea for the marathon came from my getting this cello last May," Littrell said. "It was made in 1703. It's 300 years old."

Littrell and Wingfield chose pieces from a variety of composers. They played five concertos, 12 sonatas and six short pieces.

"At one time or another over the last five years, each of us had played those pieces," Littrell said. "We didn't intend this to be a Carnegie Hall performance. With our schedules, it would have been impossible for us to sit down and rehearse everything together, but we had played them all before, which made a huge difference."

Just as a runner prepared for a marathon, Littrell said they had to build up endurance and stamina for the event. The two practiced on their own when they could but only practiced together two hours before the recital.

"I have been more inspired to practice since I have had this fantastic, old, Italian instrument," he said. "The sound is incredible. It's like going from a Chevy to a Mercedes."

Littrell and Wingfield said they had no expectations for the event. They raised $240 from minimum $1 admission donations. The money helped alleviate the Department of Music's cost of bringing the Da Vinci String Quartet to campus in February.

"I thought this performance was a way for me to contribute to the cause of bringing the quartet to campus," Wingfield said. "I wanted to help and knew that the quartet was outstanding and wanted our students to be exposed to them."

Littrell said he liked to set big goals for himself, but when the idea was first presented, students doubted he and Wingfield would meet their goal.

"When I heard about the marathon, I didn't think it was possible," Chris Funk, junior in music education, said. "I didn't see how someone could play for seven hours straight."

Wingfield said he thought the concert was just another crazy idea Littrell developed.

"It sounded unusual," he said. "David and I have done things similar to this in the past. It was just another David idea. It sounded like it was a good idea, and I thought it would be fun."

Littrell and Wingfield both said the event was fun and was more mentally than physically exhausting.

"I was fine until the last 20 minutes," Littrell said. "I think if the concert were five hours, the same thing would have happened though. I could see the end in sight, and I was getting excited. By then, I was mentally shot and started to get quivery."

-entire show

Normally, dance majors' senior projects included something similar to choreographing a dance piece, but Janusz Jaworski's project included putting together an entire show.

Jaworski, KanDance president and senior in secondary education and speech, said he was the first to have a show. His show, Moving on: Dances upon Departure, was performed Feb. 5 and 6 in the K-State Student Union Little Theatre.

"Someone usually does choreography or research," Jaworski said. "But I'd already done that, so I put together an entire show."

Jaworski began working on the project in the middle of the fall semester. He was in charge of choreographing dances, promoting the event, selling tickets, lighting the stage, reserving the dance space and editing music. Jaworski said his job as president convinced him to go to KanDance for help.

"When I thought of the project, I thought of it as something that KanDance would want to be a part of, so that they could get their name out," Jaworski said. "I went to KanDance and talked to them, and it was like, 'Well, if we charge admission, then we can raise some money for scholarships.' "

The $270 made from the $3 admission price, went toward dance scholarships for participants after subtracting expenses, Jaworski said.

"Without their help, this would just fall apart," he said. "We pay the dancers, but they're called scholarships. They have to dance for them."

Jo Miller, KanDance adviser, said the project would have been tough for some people.

"It would have been too much for a lot of people, but he remains calm," she said. "I don't worry about him doing it at all. I have complete confidence in him."

Leslie Peterson, freshman in dance, said she admired Jaworski's decision.

"It shows how devoted he is to our department and our group," she said. "There need to be other people in the world to care that much."

It was hard to tell the audience's response, Jaworski said, but he thought the show went well.

"It's hard to tell how it went, either monetary or otherwise," he said. "Three or four people could show up and come away with a lot. One hundred people could come and not enjoy it. Do you go by money or response? I felt good about it, though."

roup increases with activities

To remind students of the nation's di- verse cultures, the Native American Student Body sponsored the first Indian Awareness Week, Nov. 1-7, during National Indian Heritage Month.

The event included a benefit pow-wow that raised money for the April pow-wow.

"The response was good," Dawnielle Robinson, coordinator of multicultural orga- nizations, said. "It was a great prelude to the awareness month in the spring."

Although the pow-wow wasn't as strong in attendance as the NASB desired, they said it raised awareness.

"It accomplished more than a cynic would fear but less than an idealist would hope," Harold Prins, adviser and professor of anthropology, said. "NASB took great pains for the events, and they were happy students were coming."

Tamara Goodson, president and senior in art, said involvement extended to depart- ments on campus.

"A lot of the teachers would send their classes to see some of the events for the classes they're in, like anthropology, history, English and dance," she said. "We had a dance exhibition. Classes were sent over to see that."

The dance exhibition displayed tradi- tional Native American dances in which

Goodson and her daughter, Christina, were featured dancers. Robinson said people came from Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita to watch the performance.

The four multicultural organizations, Hispanic American Leadership Organiza- tion, Black Student Union, American Ethnic Studies Student Association and NASB, sup- ported each other by having at least one member in the audience at all events spon- sored by the other organizations.

"The guys from HALO usually come and help us set up," Goodson said. "They're re- ally helpful."

NASB planned Native American Heri- tage Month in April to include an artist, nationally-known speaker and pow-wow.

"The spring pow-wow is a contest pow- wow," Goodson said. "People come from all over to dance for prize money."

Some people who had not been exposed to Native American culture joined in the festivities to learn about their own back- grounds, Goodson said.

"A lot of people come up to you at the pow-wow and say how glad they are that we do stuff like this so they can come and expe- rience it and get exposed to other cultures," she said. "It's interesting to them. It makes them feel good. That's what it's all about. A pow-wow is a celebration."

The singers wanted to go back to the unique sound of smaller groups they had known in high school.

Fifteen men auditioned and broke off from the 60 members of Men's Glee Club to form their own group, Cadence.

"A lot of the guys were involved in high school, and we really enjoyed singing in a smaller, tight group, and we wanted experi- ence with both," President Josh Bleeker, se- nior in psychology, said. "We decided to start up and make it work."

Gerald Polich, Cadence director and pro- fessor of music, said the idea had been in the works for a few years.

"It just started, but it's been thought about off and on," Polich, also director of Men's Glee Club, said. "We thought we'd give it a try."

Bleeker said the group wanted to enter- tain with a cappella and barbershop pieces, music he thought would be more intense and fun to perform.

"It's the brainchild of a couple of guys who wanted to sing a little bit more," Bleeker said. "It's the first year. It's definitely a learn- ing experience for all of us."

The group practiced twice a week but lost two members due to class schedule conflicts.

"The hardest part is getting together to practice," Bryan Wagner, senior in pre-law, said. "It's a hurdle we're trying to overcome to get it to work."

Bleeker said the group hoped Cadence would become a class members could enroll in. He also said he thought the group had done well to overcome their problems.

"With the time we've had, the songs have come out nicely," Bleeker said. "We want to practice enough to feel we had enough time to perform and pull it together. We need to give the guys a definite time to be there."

Wagner said the men had only per- formed twice in concerts but were close to the ultimate goal.

"We're mainly doing this because we love singing and entertaining," he said, "but we definitely want to perform on our own."

Polich said the men ran the group, but he came in occasionally to help.

"I think it's a good experience," Polich said. "They don't have someone up there telling them what to do. They have to do it themselves."

Waving her hands in front of

her face, Ferdoas Afani-Ruzik,

sophomore in political science

and anthropology, teaches belly

dancing to students Nov. 19 in

the International Student Center.

The Anthropology Club

sponsored the class as a way to

introduce students to a new

cultural experience. "We're really

trying to provide a service for the

students and the community,"

Anne Baughman, president and

senior in anthropology and

biology said. "We just want to

help them out." About 30 people

attended the three-hour class

that was offered for one night

only. "It's a cultural dance,"

Baughman said. "That's part of

what we're all about." (Photo by

Students practice belly dancing after being instructed by Afani- Ruzik. "It's a Middle Eastern dance," she said. "It's very unlike any western dance. It's very similar to Spanish dancing." The class was open to members and nonmembers. It cost $5, and the money was used to send members to conventions and bring in guest speakers. "Part of the reason we did belly dancing was as a fund-raiser," Baughman said. "We want to send people to nationals." The national convention was sponsored by the American Anthropological Association. "It's a social and academic club," Baughman said. "It's open to anyone, not just anthropology majors."

Learning expression through dance.

Instead of wearing harem-girl pants and hal- ter tops, Anthropology Club members wore jeans and T-shirts while learning the art of belly dancing.

"A lot of people think I wear those clothes when I dance," Ferdoas Afani-Ruzik, sopho- more in political science and anthropology, said. "I actually have a pretty conservative dress that I wear."

Afani-Ruzik taught a three-hour belly dancing class, sponsored by the Anthropol- ogy Club, Nov. 19 in the International Stu- dent Center.

She said many people had stereotypical images of belly dancers — that they wore little clothing and danced in rooms full of men. She said because of these images, the club was reluctant to sponsor the class.

"Traditionally, there's been a harem-girl stereotype," Afani-Ruzik said. "That was a big fear we had when we started the class. But once we got everyone there, we realized most of them just wanted to learn the dance."

H.C. Abudaqeh, vice president and se- nior in anthropology, said the club wanted to bring an interesting activity to students.

"We made it really clear this was some- thing for fun and not something risque," Abudaqeh said. "Ferdoas spoke about how this was not what many people thought of stereotypical belly dancing but something women do to relax and have fun."

Afani-Ruzik learned the dance while she lived in Saudi Arabia during elementary and junior high school.

"My father was an architect, and we lived a lot in the Middle East," she said. "I learned the dance first from an Egyptian. The Egyp- tians are excellent dancers."

Afani-Ruzik performed the dance at weddings and parties in the Middle East, but

she said moving to the United States gave her fewer opportunities to dance.

"It's not the type of thing you bring to a bar," she said. "If you belly danced in a bar, people would think of it as a strange thing. You just don't do it."

Abudaqeh said although they had reser- vations about teaching what many people considered an exotic dance, they wanted to educate students about different cultures.

"It's mainly a way to familiarize people with the dance and a different way to express yourself," Anne Baughman, vice president and senior in anthropology and biology, said. "We did it because it's fun and enjoy- able."

Afani-Ruzik said traditional belly danc- ing took place in a group of women at parties and other social settings.

"Everyone thinks belly dancing is for men to enjoy," she said. "But it's meant for women. It's a huge way to relax and relieve stress."

Most of the time, men were not allowed to watch the dance being performed, Afani- Ruzik said.

"Over there, there are no guys watch- ing," she said. "Here, it's a little less conser- vative, and if we know the guys, we dance with them sometimes."

Belly dancing originated in the Middle East and combined hand and body move- ments in a flowing pattern.

"It's very flowing and rhythmic at the same time, which is an interesting combina- tion," Abudaqeh said. "It uses body move- ments that very few other dances use, so it appears very exotic."

Afani-Ruzik said the dance included five

basic steps, which could be modified to cre-

ate variety.

"If you know the steps well enough, you can put them all together," she said. "You don't even have to be that coordinated."

However, Afani-Ruzik said those used to American styles of dancing had to learn new steps and movements.

"I found it was a very challenging form of dance," Baughman said. "They use muscles that we typically don't use in American dance."

Afani-Ruzik said after students became accustomed to dancing with their abdomen muscles, most had no problem performing the dance.

"They picked it up very well," she said. "Some were really good, and some had no idea, but they picked it up very fast."

The high interest in the cultural aspect of the dance surprised Afani-Ruzik, she said.

"Over there, it's just a normal thing," she said. "Over here, it's a big cultural thing that people are very interested in."

Abudaqeh said the club sponsored the class as a way to educate students.

"It's something different that we can't experience normally," she said. "It's some- thing we can't provide and participate in normally. We wanted to have that."

Abudaqeh said sponsoring the class helped fulfill a club goal.

"That's one of the missions of our club," she said. "To bring cultural awareness to our community and bring them something they wouldn't otherwise get to see."

in horse judging—

The Horse Judging Team accomplished two firsts at the 1998 All- American Quarter Horse Congress.

The team beat 22 collegiate teams Oct. 16 in Columbus, Ohio, to take first place and be the first K-State team to win the competition.

Julie Wolf, coach and graduate student in animal sciences and industry, said the team's performance did not surprise her.

"I knew that the girls were very talented individuals, and I knew they had the capabil- ity of doing well," Wolf said. "We were com- peting against other talented teams, but I had confidence in our team."

A quarter-horse judging team consisted of five members who judged 12 classes of four horses. The teams judged six halter classes and six performance classes. Halter classes focused on the horse's proportions, structure, balancing and muscling. The com- petitors could also score points through an oral reasons category, which allowed them two minutes to defend their scores.

"You learn to stand in front of someone under a lot of pressure and how to make a decision and stand by it," Teresa Douthit, senior in animal and sciences and industry, said.

A panel of five impartial judges rated the horses, determining the teams' scores.

The team finished fourth in halter and

second in both performance and reasons, earning a first-place finish overall.

Additionally, three members placed in the top 10 overall. Jennifer Hotchkiss, junior in animal sciences and industry, placed fifth overall; Douthit placed sixth; and Mandy McCormick, senior in animal sciences and industry, placed ninth.

Wolf said she was impressed by team members' efforts.

"The kids don't get school credit forjudg- ing, so it's on a voluntary basis," she said. "But it makes it better because they are more dedicated and more focused."

The team usually practiced three days a week, but they also practiced on weekends if a competition was close, Wolf said. Practices consisted of studying videotapes of horse shows and learning how to judge horses.

Maggie Martin, sophomore in animal sci- ences and industry, said she managed time carefully to allow for practice and classwork.

"Practices ended up being longer than I first thought," she said. "I would try and have everything done before I went to prac- tice."

Martin said the hard work paid off.

"It was worth all the effort. I regret that it is over," she said. "I met great people and gained skills that I can use throughout the rest of my life."

potter s gui draws students

The Potter's Guild gave students study- ing ceramics the opportunity to sell their artwork and attend a national conference where they could make a name for them- selves.

"One of the primary purposes of the Potter's Guild is to allow undergraduate and graduate students to sell their pots and raise money so that they can attend the NCECA Conference," Jerod Morris, co-president and graduate student in fine arts, said. "It's a good place to make connections for future jobs."

The annual National Council for Educa- tion of Ceramic Arts Conference took place March 16-20 in Columbus, Ohio. Money raised through the Potter's Guild enabled 15 students to attend.

The Potter's Guild sold their pottery and that of other artists at three annual sales, one in the fall, one before Christmas and one in the spring. The sales usually took place in front of the K-State Student Union.

"We usually sell small pots and bowls for around $5 each," Mika Negishi, graduate student in fine arts, said. "As a whole, we

usually earn a few thousand dollars from the sales to go toward our trip. It's enough to cover the cost for flying and hotel rooms."

The money earned from the sales was split between the Potter's Guild and the indi- vidual artist.

"The person selling their pot through us gets 70 percent of the price, "Morris said. "We get 30 to cover all of our costs and go toward our trip to NCECA."

The Potter's Guild also raised money with a raffle Dec. 3. A $3 raffle ticket bought a chance to win a piece of art.

"The prizes can be anything from an $800 gallery piece to a functional piece done by a graduate student," Negishi said. "We have pieces donated by graduate students, faculty members, former students and visiting art- ists."

The raffle, sales and demonstrations at the Union helped the group gain visibility on campus.

"We have demonstrations at open-house day in the Union," Yoshiro Ikeda, club ad- viser, said. "We inform incoming students about the art program and what we do."

After 10 months developing a prototype to enter in the Food Technologists Student As- sociation Product Development Competition, the Food Science and Technology Club almost lost its chance to compete when the product was missing before final competition.

"We had the product sitting by the posters. We saw it in a box. It was clearly marked, but it disappeared," said Fadi Aramouni, team adviser and associate professor of food science. "It was quite suspicious. Maybe someone thought it was samples."

During the last day of the June 20-24 competition in Atlanta, team members searched through dumpsters and talked to the custodial staff, but they could not find their product, the Chicotilla.

"We weren't sure what happened," Indira Reddy , graduate research assistant and team mem- ber, said. "I immediately contacted the person in charge of maintenance. I gave him the de- scription of the box; he radioed others to look for it. He took us to the trash compactor.

"We weren't sure if someone had taken it on purpose or accident, or if the janitor had thrown it away by accident," shesaid. "We basically scoured the entire conference area."

Team members unanimously decided to make the prototype again with pre-packaged, rather thanhomemade, ingredients. They had two hours

to buy the ingredients at a local grocery store and make the product in a team member's hotel room.

"We said, 'We'll go to the store and buy everything,' " Khaled Khatib, graduate student in food science, said. "(The team) did a great job making it from nothing. (They) didn't have the right materials. We asked the hotel manager for a microwave oven."

The team was able to use the microwave for the pre-preparation of the product, which was a homemade tortilla flavored with herbs and spices wrapped around a sweet and spicy raisin filling. The item was prepared in a pan the hotel provided. Then the members wrote out baking instructions for the hotel cook to follow.

"We made a lot, but we only needed two pieces," Reddy said. "Many weren't desirable, but we had a lot to choose from."

The disappearing product was only one defining characteristic of the Food Science Team. It was the smallest team out of the 20 finalists and invested less than $500, compared to the thousands other teams used in developing prototypes.

Despite the challenges, the team placed third for the third consecutive year, making it the only team to rank in the top three every year of competition.

"The judges commented on the character they showed," Aramouni said. "We were very proud of them."

The Wildcat Walk Escort Service walked farther than ever fall semester.

In its second year as a campus-wide pro- gram to walk students to their destinations safely at night, Wildcat Walk more than tripled its semester average of walks per month with 34 walks in October.

"When the freshmen come through ori- entation now, they get bludgeoned with our number over and over," Travis Johnson, co- ordinator of the service and senior in com- puter science, said.

Wildcat Walk also increased its advertis- ing in the Collegian, making its number, 395- SAFE, more prominent.

Brandy Oak, senior in agriculture eco- nomics, said she thought that contributed to the increased service.

"I think it's because we're doing a lot more publicity," Oak said. "I think especially people in the greek community have become more aware of it and use it a lot more than they have in the past. Plus, campus safety is also a big issue. I think people have been more scared to walk at night."

Johnson said the program began in the Derby Complex about eight years ago when volunteers' names were pulled from a jar at the front desk when students needed escorts.

The program expanded to the Kramer Complex before the Student Governing As- sociation stepped in with funding and broadened the program to the entire cam- pus. It was based out of Hale Library's 24- hour study room.

Johnson said when they received a call, the man and woman volunteer escorts on duty picked up a radio, arm badges and photo IDs before escorting students up to six blocks off campus.

"We're the only school in the Big 12 that's been able to keep an escort program running for more than one year," Johnson said. "And ours has been going on six, eight years now. "

He said other schools had trouble estab- lishing a volunteer base. But getting students to use the service was a bigger problem than finding volunteers to staff it, Johnson said.

"Usually we do not do more than one escort on a shift," Adam Sisson, freshman in biology, said. "There aren't as many as we'd like there to be."

Johnson said students used the service most Mondays and Tuesdays because of tests those nights.

"I encourage people to call," Sisson said, "because we need the support, not just for volunteers but from people calling in."

Events help students discuss death

ampus organizations sponsored events Oct. 5 to help students deal with a tragedy.

Students gathered at a candlelight vigil, gay-awareness program and memorial to address concerns sparked by the death of a 21-year-old Wyoming college student. Mat- thew Shepard, a gay man, died Oct. 12 after being severely beaten, tied and left in near- freezing temperatures.

Melissa Rodenbeek, instructor for the PI- LOTS program, helped organize a candle- light vigil Oct. 12 in the K-State Student Union free-speech zone. She said the vigil supported similar memorial events in Wichita and gave people a meeting place to talk about the incident.

"I think it gave people a chance to take a moment to reflect on Matthew's life as an individual," Rodenbeek said. "Since it hap- pened in a small community like Manhattan where everyone smiles and is friendly, ev- eryone was asking, 'How could something so horrific happen?' and 'What can be done so it doesn't happen again?' "

About 30 people attended the vigil, but Rodenbeek said the event made others aware support was available.

"The free-speech zone is there for stu- dents to express a point of view that may not otherwise get expressed, but a lot of times it is seen as a negative," she said. "This let people know there was support and a place to go to talk about the issue without being judged. I think it made people more comfort- able talking about it."

Students had another opportunity to talk about the death at Kansas State University

Association of Residence Halls' all-hall gay- awareness program Oct. 13 at Marlatt Hall.

Jennifer Buchanan, KSUARH multi- cultural program coordinator, said they scheduled the program to coincide with National Coming Out Day Oct. 11, but Shepard's death was also discussed.

"Because the Matthew Shepard incident was fresh in everyone's minds, a lot of people asked about safety on campus," Buchanan, senior in English, said. "They were con- cerned with the probability that something like that could happen here at K-State."

Bisexual and Gay and Lesbian Society members served as panelists for the pro- gram. After telling about their experiences coming out, they asked for questions from the audience.

Paul Donovan, graduate student in col- lege student personnel, was a panelist and said he wanted to provide an example as well as answers.

"I hoped to not only get the word out and educate people about gay, lesbian and bi- sexual people, but also to serve as a beacon of hope for people in the halls who are gay," he said. "I know what it is like to be gay and live in that environment. I sure would have liked to have a program like that when I was there."

Not all residents appreciated the pro- gram, however, Buchanan said. She said many residents opposed the event, and she heard some residents formed a hetero- sexual-awareness group in response.

program, and I can't be sure that it was because of the program, but it seemed to be a huge coincidence," Buchanan said. "Both hall directors were at the program at that time, so it was not a planned fire drill."

Although the gay-awareness program was disrupted, the Oct. 15 memorial at All Faiths Chapel went as planned. BGLS spon- sored the service, which more than 80 stu- dents, faculty and community members at- tended.

Donovan said it was good to see everyone pull together.

"I thought it was a very beautiful ser- vice," he said. "It was heart warming to see

was heart a11 of the suPPort for some-

one we had never even met. " Mary Renee Smith, BGLS president and junior in speech, said the memorial gave closure to Shepard's life and provided an oppor- tunity for people to talk.

Talking about issues was the first step in solving them, Pat Bosco, dean of student life, said.

"It's important for K- State to pause and reflect on this hideous tragedy," Bosco said at the memorial. "I hope that those in attendance as well as those who read this will be reminded that silence kills. It's important for us to speak up when we see or hear injustices in our home, school, church or where we work."

Shepard's death showed intolerance can start at any level, said Jeremy Mittel, BGLS vice president and senior in interior design.

"It didn't start with just a beating," he said. "It starts with jokes and comments. It ends in a beating."

Campus radio station DB92 became Wild- cat 91.9 when turned over to the students.

Before, a station manager ran KSDB-FM 91.9 with a student staff. Student Senate said an organization partially supported by stu- dent fees should be student run, and Jeremy Claeys, junior in journalism and mass com- munications, was hired as program director.

The changes came after Len Potillo, former station manager, was dismissed in the fall. The personnel matter was still under investigation in February, Todd Simon, di- rector of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications, said.

Running the station allowed students to expand their education, Claeys said.

"Now that it is run by students, it's an educational experience," he said. "We have a true laboratory setting for people to learn broadcast journalism."

The radio station canceled shows playing specific genres of music at various intervals and began playing a mix of music through- out the day. Claeys said this format made Wildcat 91.9 like a mainstream radio station.

"It's better overall," said Drew Maenche, DJ Drew and sophomore in journalism and mass communications. "It appeals to a whole mass audience now. When we had all the specialty shows, it kind of segregated our audience, and now we are appealing to a majority of people."

Although Claeys said the majority of the station's target listeners preferred the change, Black Student Union members were upset when the urban music show moved from 5-9 p.m. to 11 p.m. -3 a.m. Simon made an executive decision in February to move the show to 8 p.m. -midnight.

"We should 've talked to the minority students first," Simon said. "I thought the student staff and BSU would reach an agree- ment, but they didn't."

Simon said he wanted to leave decisions to the staff in the future. The station adjusted disc jockey's timeslots to accommodate the change, because some didn't know enough about urban music, Claeys said.

"We thought it would be the best ever semester for campus radio," he said. "This is a minor setback, and we will move forward. "

The new system gave students experi- ence needed after graduation, Claeys said.

"You have the ability to learn what it's like to be on the air in a real station," he said. "The broadcast experiences are greater now because students have more control over what's going on here."

Despite moving the urban show, Claeys said audience response had increased.

"Most of the feedback we've gotten has been very positive," he said. "We've gotten a lot more people calling in with requests." (additional information on Page 90)

K-State-Salina students earned admiration as the "big kids" when they went to Schilling Elementary School each week to mentor first through fourth graders.

The HOSTS program, Helping One Student To Succeed, paired students who needed extra help developing reading skills with adults from the community.

"I go for an hour, and I work with a first grader and a third grader, and we help them to read better," Melisa Woods, mentor and freshman in airway sciences, said. "They have assignment sheets, and we help them with their assignments and vocabulary."

K-State-Salina students joined the effort when Margie Carrier, Schilling's HOSTS teacher, asked K-State-Salina Ambassadors for help.

"Most of them were very, very positive and asked won- derful questions," she said of her presentation to the group. "A couple had been mentors in high school."

Carrier said they requested a grant for the program during the summer, and things got underway in November.

"The program now takes the place of the reading pro- gram," she said. "We just wanted to find a way to help our children succeed who were at risk or falling a little behind."

Mentors went through lesson plans including reading, literature, vocabulary and writing.

"They'd pick a book, and they would read out loud," Kevin Herndon, fall mentor and sophomore in airway sci- ence, said. "Some of the words were too big, so we had to teach them how to divide the word up and sound it out."

Forty-three of the elementary school's students had men- tors, which meant Carrier needed adults to fill 129 half-hour slots Tuesday through Thursday each week. Eleven students and one faculty member at K-State-Salina helped fill those spots.

Carrier said the mentors' time made a difference for her students.

"The biggest progress is for the child who is very shy or withdrawn is becoming more of a risk taker," Carrier said. "With some kids, I've seen great progress."

In addition to progress students made, she said the adults gained a lot from the experience, and she appreciated their help.

"They aren't education majors. Their fields or interests are in other areas, but I think they realize the importance of reading," Carrier said. "That is really neat that they can see that not just in their field, reading opens up so many doors."

Sensitive subject matter did not stop the Ebony Theatre group from producing two shows in the fall.

The plays "The Wine in the Wilderness" and "Rooms in the Dark" addressed mi- sogyny, racism, abortion and stereotypes.

"At first, I was like, T don't know? How are people going to react?' " Tiffany Lee, sophomore in theater and business, said. "You don't find a lot of theaters that address, quote unquote, real topics."

The troupe performed "Rooms in the Dark," by Ntozake Shange, during Violence Against Women Awareness Week, Nov. 1-6.

"The play covered so many stories that were personal to a lot of people," Donna Davenport, director and senior in theater, said. "If anything, it (the purpose) was for women to love themselves in their woman- hood and for men to begin to understand women's experience."

Scenes from "Liliane: Resurrection of the Daughter" alternated with poems from "for colored girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is enuf."

" 'Liliane' was about a woman going through therapy," Davenport said. "There were a number of instances in her life. She lost her best friend to a man who loved her. Her mother left her father for another man, and he told her she was dead. Basically, it's about a misogynist society."

The troupe also performed "The Wine and the Wilderness," by Alice Childress. It was a play about a black male artist who was raised in the suburbs and created three paintings representing black women.

"The first was the epitome of black wom- anhood," Davenport said. "The second was of a young girl, and it was the idea of girl- hood. The third, which was not finished, was of a ghetto woman."

The artist met and fell in love with a woman resembling the woman in his third painting. Lee, who played that woman, said the topics the play addressed were familiar.

"This was harder than most shows be- cause the stereotypes held against my char- acter were the same stereotypes I could re- late to," she said.

The actors weren't the only ones who responded to the material, Lee said.

"I remember one day, the guy playing opposite me said something really sexist," Lee said. "The whole crowd went, 'Oh my goodness. I can't believe that.' "

In addition to stimulating audiences to think, the roles gave the actors an opportu- nity to voice their opinions and beliefs.

"Ebony Theatre is an excellent opportu- nity for ethnic students to speak out through theater," Chris Sanford, lighting operator and senior in English literature, said. "It gives them a chance to express themselves."

llprds clashed with shields as fighters wear- ^■iKg full armor fought in the bear pit. Other fighters waited while women and children milled about, singing, dancing, cooking and sewing, all reliving the Middle Ages at the Regional Fighting Practice.

The Society for Creative Anachronism helped people in Manhattan and across the world relive medieval times.

"There are a lot of different groups that look at history. Many of those are re-creation — taking an exact episode of history and recreating it," Cindy Kraus, SCA member and alumna, said. "We take the creation part and don't put the 're' in front of it be- cause we create new, based on the old rules and mod- els."

The organization was broken into kingdoms. The Manhattan-area branch, called the Shire of Spinning Winds, was included in the Kingdom of Calontir. There were 54 members in the local chapter, including 14 stu- dents and many alumni. The kingdom included Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and part of Arkan- sas.

SCA chose parts of the medieval culture and times that interested them.

"We create the Middle Ages without the plagues, the bugs and all the bad stuff," Joanna Rouse, graduate student in English, said. "There is a chivalric ideal, and we are able to celebrate the arts. There is something for everybody."

Members adopted a Middle Ages per- sona.

"To play your persona, you have to know about it, so everyone involved is pretty much like a history major," Ann Marie Clay, fresh-

man in art and history, said. "We try to be as accurate as possible."

The characters ranged in creativity from Native Americans and Aztec warriors to Japanese samurais, and some members de- veloped their persona immediately, Michael Prohaska, Ogden resident, said.

"We don't try to contain creativity," he said. "We only require that everything be historical."

Alumnus Hal Kraus said many people wrongly compared SCA to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival because of the similari- ties in time period and costumes.

"The festival is a performance organiza- tion, and they're professionals who make a living performing to audiences," he said. "In the SCA, the emphasis is on participation."

The group earned recognition for its fighting practices and tournaments, Cindy Kraus said. SCA demonstrated fighting in Manhattan's Little Apple Festival for the fourth year.

"The fighting is on an honor system," Mike Burnett, Manhattan resident, said. "If you feel like a blow just glanced over you, you can keep fighting. If, for instance, you feel like it really cut into your arm, you have to fight without using that arm."

Minimum armor standards ensured safety and included a helmet with a one-inch bar plate, protection for elbows, wrists, hands, kidneys and groin, knees covered, close-toed shoes, and metal covering the neck.

"We have general specifications, or safety standards, " Prohaska said. "Despite us whacking each other, we've never had anyone die. We've only had injuries."

Prohaska said bruises were the most common injury, and other injuries were a result of weak armor.

"If you're going to get hurt in this sport, (continued on Page 224)

In the midst of battle, Alan Horn and Josh Warren, both Salina residents, move to strike swords. SCA began in 1966 when a group of people in Berkeley, Calif., wanted a theme for a party. Following the party, the Californians incorporated the idea into a nonprofit educational society. The organization was divided into separate kingdoms, and the Manhattan branch was known as the Shire of Spinning Winds and was part of the Kingdom of Calontir. (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

it's usually a finger bone that is broken," Prohaske said. "Usually a gauntlet fails."

The person who wore the armor usually was the one who built it. The only items the members bought were helmets and gaunt- lets.

"The material of choice for cheap armor is unsplit cowhide that's been soaked in wax," Prohaska said. "Or for people who wear a cover up on the outside of their armor, they use a chemical barrel. The plastic is cheap and solid, and it doesn't rot. We have to figure out how to make it work."

Weapons were also cre- ated with modern materials. Swords were made of rattan, which was similar in weight ratio to steel.

During a fight or battle, a marshal supervised the par- ticipants and their armor. If the armor appeared to be too weak or fall off, the marshal stopped the fighting imme- diately by yelling "hold."

The tournaments had different set ups, including double or single elimination and bear-pit fighting, where fighters continued until they lost or were too tired to con- tinue.

"All the stuff we do is real," Burnett said. "We don't pretend fight."

The society participated in other activi- ties typical of the period, including cooking, making armor and maps, calligraphy, sew- ing and embroidery.

"My mom, when I first started SCA, like a lot of parents, thought I was in a cult or something," Billie Reuss, senior in architec- tural engineering and French, said. "I knew I'd won when a year later I went home and was going to sleep, and I heard my mom tell my dad, 'They taught her how to cook, and she can sew now.' "

Besides weekly meetings and fighting practices, summers gave students more of a chance to participate.

"During the summer, we have some wars. The War of Lilies is a large medieval campout in which everyone's dressed head to toe for nine days," Clay said. "The best way to learn about it is to live it, and that's what we do as well."

Sophomore newcomer,

Korene Hinds, ended her sea- son strong, as she was the Wildcats' top finisher in the last four meets. She finished sixth at the Big 12 Champion- ships, and her season ended witha27th-placefinish inthe NCAA Championships Nov. 23 at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence. She ran the 5, 000- meter course in 17 minutes, 30.48 seconds.

On Sept. 29, the NCAA

named Annie Wetterhus, sophomore in mathematics, to the 1997 Academic All- America cross-country team. She also received special mention as one of six runners with a 4.0 grade point aver- age. On the cross-country course, she was the team's top finisher in four of the eight meets, culminating with a 113th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.

The week before the Oct. 31

Big 12 Championships in Lin- coln, Neb., senior Zach Davies was in no condition to be competing with the conference's best. "I was starting to get sick. I had no- ticed things weren't quite right," Davies said. "I didn't run the entire week before the meet." Despite the pain in his left leg, he ran the race and finished in 33rd place overall and third on the team with a time of 25:46.

Women's Cross Courtry

- ^Tt was a year of firsts for the women's cross country team.

The Wildcats earned their first Big 12 title, took first place at the 1998 Midwest Regional Championships, and Coach Randy Cole made his first NCAA National Championship team appearance.

"They're a talented bunch, eager to do well," Cole said. "What's exciting is they still have a lot to learn. That boded well for nationals, and it bodes well for the future."

On Oct. 31 in Lincoln, Neb., the Wildcats sped into the record books by being the first K-State team to win a Big 12 Championship.

The Wildcats clinched the title with a combined score of 78 — 21 points better than Colorado and 32 better than third-place Missouri. The win was the team's first confer- ence title since 1992 and its third conference championship ever.

"It feels pretty good," assistant coach Michael Smith said. "All we asked is for the girls to run to the best of their abilities, and when they do, that can bring the championship."

Sophomore Korene Hinds led the way for the Wildcats in the Big 12 Championships with a sixth-place finish. Sophomore Amanda Crouse and freshman Ekaterini Fotopoulou placed seventh and 15th respectively. Sophomore Annie Wetterhus, who placed second and first in two out of her first three meets, helped pace K-State with an llth-place finish.

"It's a great accomplishment," Smith said. "We're not surprised. We were quite certain that our girls were good enough to be in the top three."

At the Midwest Regional Championships Nov. 14 in Wichita, the Wildcats shattered any doubt they were for real by winning the title and clinching a berth in the NCAA Championships.

Hinds led the way for the Wildcats once again, placing sixth, while Wetterhus and Amanda Crouse contributed with ninth and 21st.

Then the Wildcats made their 10th NCAA Cross Country Championship appear- ance, ranking K-State seventh on the NCAA list.

Despite finishing 13th at the NCAA Championships at Rim Rock Farm Nov. 23 in Lawrence, the Wildcats had several runners who fared well, including Hinds, who grabbed 27th place.

"Korene Hinds ran extremely well," Cole said. "In this kind of race, everybody counts, and our people were fairly poised for a big event."

With K-State capping off a season that featured a Big 12 crown and four first-place titles, Wetterhus said the season's outcome shocked her.

"We knew we would be good, but we didn't know how good we would be," she said. "We had a great season, going out and finishing 13th in the nation. That is something to be proud of."

men's Cross Couotry

■ ^ Fifth place out of 12 was usually a little better than mediocre, but when the men's cross country team did it in the Big 12 Championships, it was something special.

The Wildcats had not come together as a team during a race until the Big 12 Championships, senior Brent Stover said.

"It was a situation where all year we struggled with everyone having a good race on

the same day," Stover said. "In that particular race, we weren't strung apart. We stuck together, and as a result, we had the best race all season as a team."

The effort of team members during the race exceeded expectations, senior Zach Da vies said.

"As far as the team goes, we did everything above and beyond what we were supposed to do," Davies said about the team's performance at the Big 12 Championships. "We got every ounce of effort out of every athlete."

Sophomore Brandon Jessop topped off his season by running to a team-leading 10th place with a time of 24 minutes, 55.9 seconds on the 5,000-meter course.

Senior Paul Birnbaum, Davies and Stover finished with 28th, 33rd and 38th places respectively, after running together in their own pack.

The Wildcats clinched the fifth-place spot with a total score of 153. They improved in the final Big 12 standings by four spots from the previous season.

Davies said the fifth-place team finish was significant because they did it with teamwork and effort rather than raw talent.

"With the exception of Brandon, no one on this team is a standout," Davies said. "We're just a bunch of Kansas kids going out to try their butts off everyday."

Two weeks later at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Wichita, K-State took 10th place. Jessop once again led the Wildcat threat with a third-place finish and time of 31 :01 .70 on the 10,000-meter course.

"The men ran steady but came up short for the goal of a top-five team finish," Coach Randy Cole said. "I was real impressed with Brandon's effort. He ran a near flawless race."

With that run, Jessop qualified for the NCAA Championships, where he took 97th place.

Cole said the future would be positive after Jessop's finish at the NCAA Championships.

"I was pleased with his performance," Cole said. "Overall, the future looks really good for the Kansas State Wildcats."

senior shows wildcat newcomers the way to the ncaa central regional in spring season

• ►When the spring tennis season started, there was a group of freshmen poised to become the stars of the team. But, senior Yana Dorodnova had other ideas.

She withstood the challenges of freshmen Eva Novotna, Natalia Farmer and Anna Pampoulova and became the second All- American in K-State tennis history.

"Yana was clearly the team leader," Coach Steve Bietau said. "She took care of business on her court, then took a very deep interest in how the entire team was doing and how the team could win."

At the Big 12 Championships, April 24, 1998, Kansas eliminated the Wildcats in the second round with a 5-3 score. Despite being eliminated, the team received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. But New Mexico ended the Wildcat's season in the first round of the Central Regional on May 13, 1998, at Provo, Utah, 5-3.

"This was one of the better teams ever at K-State," Bietau said. "We reached the NCAAs for the second time in three years."

One of the important factors for the team's success was Dorodnova's leadership and talent, Novotna said.

"She has a lot of experience and helped out a lot with advice," Novotna said. "She helped everyone. She was the leader."

At the beginning of the season, though, Dorodnova had not been certain how it would turn out.

"I wasn't sure at all that I would be No. 1 in the fall," Dorodnova said. "But as time went by, I realized that I had improved so much that I could still be No. 1."

On Feb. 21, 1998, Dorodnova beat Anna Svedenhov of Utah for her third consecutive win over a nationally-ranked player.

Dorodnova continued her hot streak on March 9, 1998, by defeating seventh-ranked Holly Parkinson of Brigham Young.

Then Dorodnova struggled on March 23, 1998, while playing matches in Las Vegas.

"Over spring break, we went to Las Vegas, and I had two very bad matches," Dorodnova said. "But I got my confidence back with a win over Colorado."

Although Dorodnova defeated her Colorado opponent, the team lost 5-4.

Dorodnova continued to post big wins throughout the Big 12 season, including a win over Kansas' Kylie Hunt, a former No. 1 player in the nation. Her strong season earned her a trip to the NCAA singles championships May 25-29, 1998, in South Bend, Ind.

Dorodnova quickly dropped the first set and was down 4-1 in the second to Vicky Maes of Arizona before bouncing back to win her first match of the championship.

The second round looked like a carbon copy of the first when Dorodnova dropped the first set and was down in the second before beating Katherine Nasser of Northwestern. With that win, she earned all- America status.

But Dorodnova wasn't finished.

She straight-setted Wisconsin's Barbara Urbanska 6-3, 6-3 on May 26, 1998, to qualify for the next day's NCAA Quarterfinals.

Dorodnova then played Duke's Vanessa Webb, the No. 3 player in the nation. It was Dorodnova's final match as a Wildcat, and she lost to Webb, the eventual NCAA champion, 6-1, 6-3.

Despite losing in the quarterfinals, Dorodnova said she was not disappointed in her overall performance.

"This was the greatest season of my life," Dorodnova said. "And I am glad it was the season to end my career."

THE PLAYERS

Senior Yana Dorodnova be- came the second Wildcat to compete in the NCAA singles championships. She was also the school's second Ail- American, and on May 25 she became the first Wildcat to win a match at the champion- ships. The last Wildcat to reach the championships, Karina Kuregian in 1994, earned all-America honors, but never won a match at the championships. Dorodnova was as successful in the class- room as she was on the court. The Intercollegiate Tennis As- sociation named hera Scholar Athlete for posting a 3.85 cu- mulative grade point average in social science.

The final season of Elena

Piliptchak's collegiate career reaped a number of awards. But she won the awards with her brain instead of hertennis racket. In addition to a 6-3 conference record in singles and a 7-7 doubles record with Dorodnova as her partner, she made the 1998 GTE Aca- demic All-District VII spring at-large team. Piliptchak, se- nior in accounting and fi- nance, was one of 10 student athletes named to the team. For the third consecutive year, she became an Aca- demic All-Big 12 selection and the first Wildcat to win special mention honors from the Big 12 three years in a row.

Portrait by Jill Jarsulic.

Call her Kim, Kimer or Meow, but one also had to call senior swing hitter Kim Zschau one of the greatest volleyball players in K-State history.

When Zschau became the first Wildcat to qualify to play at the USA National Team Training Camp in June at Colo- rado Springs, she met one goal Coach Jim McLaughlin set for K-State volleyball at his arrival in 1997.

"I remember at one of my first press conferences they said, 'Hey, what's you're agenda,' " said McLaughlin, who nicknamed Zschau both Kimer, for obvious reasons, and Meow, because she loved cats. "I said, 'Someday we're going to have a K-State player go from wearing purple to red, white and blue,' and Kim was the first one to do that."

At the USA National Team Training Camp, Zschau played with 17 other selected collegiate players for the A-2 team — the reserve unit for the top USA National Team. The team trained twice a day from late June to the first part of August. The team also scrimmaged against the USA National Team and the Canadian National Team.

McLaughlin said the experience at Colorado Springs gave Zschau the self-assurance she could play at the highest level.

"She just came back understanding there is a level above this," McLaughlin said. "It just gives you more confidence. You've been selected. You're one of the few that is going to put on a USA jersey."

Zschau said she brought back teamwork to K-State.

"I think what I learned the most was we were all at such a high level, it wasn't just about who could hit the ball the hardest," Zschau said. "It was more about teamwork and how we played together. That's what I got the most out of it and what I thought I helped bring back to our team."

When Zschau came back to Manhattan in August, she knew the team welcomed six freshmen, and she and senior middle blocker Val Wieck needed to do something to bring them together. Trying to get the freshmen to feel like they were not by themselves was one of her main goals, Zschau said.

"What was the problem in the past is it took so long for the freshmen to get into it," Zschau said. "So from the very beginning, we did a lot of bonding and trying to help them out so they felt comfortable because I know if you feel comfortable, you play a little bit better."

As a quiet leader, Zschau let her actions and court presence do the talking. The Big 12 Conference took notice, naming her a unanimous First Team All-Big 12 player.

Freshman setter Disney Bronnenberg said the entire team could follow Zschau's game.

"She sets an example in every aspect of her game: in blocking, in digging, in passing and in hitting," Bronnenberg said. "She's pretty disciplined, and to have that kind of leader on the court really helps."

It would have been too much to ask Zschau to take Wieck's job and be a vocal leader for the Wildcats because she could only say something motivational when it came naturally, McLaughlin said.

"Kim was exclusively by example, but when she spoke, it was really good stuff," McLaughlin said. "You don't want to force someone to talk more than they really want to. She's just Kim, and I like her the way she is."

team finishes with best final ranking behind senior leadership and upstart freshman

— ►Success for the K-State volleyball team didn't start on the court; it started in a residence hall room.

Freshmen Disney Bronnenberg and Lisa Mimick sat in a Moore Hall room taking advice from junior Linsey Luther about how to deal with the difficulties of adjusting to the rigorous practices and the new environment of Division I volleyball . Then senior Val Wieck, the team's vocal leader and model of confidence, entered the room.

"She walked into our room and said, 'If you need anything, I'm here for you,' " Bronnenberg said. "That's the way she is on and off the court."

Despite having six freshmen, the team started to gel, Wieck said.

"Out of my four years, I thought this team was probably on the same page more than any other team I played on," Wieck, a middle blocker, said. "We were so willing to do anything for the team."

That camaraderie paid off as the team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history and finished the season with the school's highest ranking ever — 23rd in the nation by the USA Today/ A VC A Coaches Poll.

If team members used the "get on the same page" analogy, then they first had to choose which book they were going to read.

"Every year you put together a plan, and within the plan you have to answer different questions. Some are much more pertinent or important than others," Coach Jim McLaughlin said. "Our No. 1 question was how to replace Devon Ryning."

The Wildcats lost setter Ryning to graduation. Her career 5,236 assists left big shoes to fill.

Bronnenberg stepped up to the task by not only leading the team in assists per game, but leading the nation as well. Her 15.54 APG set a new NCAA record, breaking the old record by .09 APG.

Before Bronnenberg started setting records, or even playing games, she received personal attention from McLaughlin.

"We trained Disney for 18 days before the first match," McLaughlin said. "I did not spend a lot of time on anyone else. I spent time on the team, but the focus was Disney."

Bronnenberg agreed on the importance of the exclusive attention in her development as the new setter.

"The first 18 days were really decisive for me," Bronnenberg said. "Basically, he sat me down before those three weeks and said, 'Look, you're going to learn how to set for me. You're going to have to learn how to run this offense.' "

Bronnenberg helped take the team to a regular season 18-11 record and a fifth-place Big 12 Conference standing. Then the Wildcats received a bid to play in the NCAA Tournament.

Playing in the Central Regional Dec. 4 in Provo, Utah, the team defeated Georgetown 15-9, 15-6, 15-7 to advance to the second round against Brigham Young.

BYU eliminated the Wildcats in a 15-6, 15-10, 17-15 sweep.

Although Wieck said BYU had more talent than K-State, she also said the Wildcats were hurt by the young team's lack of experience in post-season play. Freshman swing hitter Liz Wegner agreed experience played a part in the team's tournament perfor- mance.

THE PLAYERS

Against 22nd ranked Illinois

in the Bank of Fayetteville Classic Sept. 19, freshman setter Disney Bronnenberg accumulated 106 assists — a K-State and Big 1 2 record and fourth best in NCAA history for a five-game match. With that achievement, she be- came the first freshman to be named Big 12 Player of the Week. She also set a single- season NCAA record average of 15.54 assists per game.

Senior middle blocker Val

Wieck was First Team All-Big 12 for the second-straight year after finishing in the top 10 in the conference in ser- vice aces (fourth), blocks (sev- enth) and hitting percentage (10th). She set a K-State ca- reer record with 547 block assists. She was also named to the Academic All-Big 12 Honor Roll for the second consecutive season.

With a 3.54 grade point aver- age in nutrition and exercise sciences, junior swing hitter Dawn Cady was named to the second team of the GTE / College Sports Information Directors of America Aca- demic All-District 7 volleyball team and the First Team All- Big 12 Academic team. She was first on the team and fifth in the conference in kills with 483 and seventh in the conference in digs with 376.

"I was really nervous and really excited, and I might not have been as focused as I should have been," Wegner said. "The inexperience was a factor because I didn't know what to expect."

Because the young team needed leadership, Wieck and senior swing hitter Kim Zschau both held the reins. They played different roles — Wieck as the emotional engine and Zschau as the silent leader by example.

"We were a good combination," Wieck said. "If you had two quiet leaders, people would be confused on what needed to be done. If you had two vocal leaders, I think there would be too much information thrown at everyone."

The leadership of Wieck and Zschau car- ried the Wildcats through a tough three- game stretch at mid-season that could have broken the team.

The Wildcats traveled with their No. 21 ranking Oct. 31 to Norman, Okla., expecting to run over the Oklahoma Sooners, just as they did earlier in the season. However, the Sooners surprised the Wildcats by beating them 15-13, 15-9, 4-15, 16-14.

"I, like a lot of people, just went in assum- ing we were going to win like we did the first time," Bronnenberg said. "I think we really overlooked some of their strengths."

Wieck said the Oklahoma game opened the team's eyes to the randomness of Big 12 volleyball.

"One thing we realized is on any given night in this conference anybody can lose," Wieck said. "Before the Oklahoma match, we didn't realize that."

If the upset at the hands of Oklahoma wasn't bad enough, the team's next oppo- nent was against No. 3-ranked and unde- feated Nebraska — a team K-State hadn't beaten in 57 tries. The Cornhuskers made it 58 on Nov. 6 in Lincoln, Neb., with a 15-8, 15- 10, 16-14 sweep.

The team traveled back to Manhattan

after the loss and hopped on an airplane to

Boulder, Colo., the next morning to play No.

1 3-ranked Colorado. Before taking the court

against the Buffaloes, the battle-torn Wildcats' chances to win seemed slim. However,

after pre-game talks from Wieck and Zschau, the team almost controlled from the

beginning to the end of the match as they won 15-11, 15-11, 14-16, 15-9.

"We were going on a down slope, and we were all hurting. Some of us were sick and weren't feeling very well," Zschau said about the team's condition before the game. "We all came together and said we're in this together. We have to play for each other; we can't play for individuals. I'm hurting; you're hurting; you're sick; she's sick. We had to forget about all this and just go out there and play until the very end."

sunflower showdown, kansas cup provide rowing team with regional competition

► Halloween was a bad day to be a Jayhawk.

Before defeating the Jayhawks in football, the Wildcats handed a loss to the KU women's rowing team. K-State claimed its second straight Sunflower Showdown regatta at Clinton Lake near Lawrence. The Wildcats defeated KU 14-1 1, with victories in four of six races despite rough waters and cross-tailwinds.

"On days like that, it comes down to who has the most guts," freshman Josie McClellan said. "We had what it took."

K-State's novice four boat crushed KU by 33 seconds. In the novice-eight race, the Wildcats finished with a time of 6 min- utes, 5.3 seconds while the Jayhawks clocked in at 6:27.9. K-State won by 43 seconds in the second novice-eight race.

Senior co-captain Amanda Kiefer said a highlight of the regatta was the second varsity-eight boat, which won by 14 seconds.

"We had just raced the second varsity boat the week before and beat them by 1 second," Kiefer said. "So they were really anxious to beat us."

The origin of the Sunflower Show- down regatta and the Kansas Cup, the spring K-State dual, came from Coach Jenny Hale and KU Coach Rob Catloth.

Prior to the novice-eight race in the Kansas Cup, the team prepares the boat. The race took place at Turtle

During spring 1997, the two teams competed in a dual race, but the races were not named until fall 1997.

"We wanted to start our own tradition," Hale said. "We felt like we needed some tradition that would go on year to year."

Catloth said the races were formed to promote the sport in Kansas.

"It's a national rivalry between the two schools," Catloth said. "We wanted to use that in introducing the sport to the parents and fans because many of the freshman are walk- ons."

The races were a good way to measure the team's progress, senior co-captain Donna Harris said.

"The team looks forward to both of those because KU is the most obvious competitor we have," Harris said. "They are in the same state, and they're doing a lot of the same things we're doing. It's a comparison between how the two schools are doing."

April 18, 1998, marked the first Kansas Cup at Tuttle Creek Reservoir. K-State's first varsity-four and second varsity-four boats were victorious. The first varsity boat edged out KU by two seconds, and the second varsity boat won by 12 seconds. Entering the final race, the teams were tied, but K-State's first varsity-eight boat's 4-second lead gave them the points needed to win the trophy.

"The last race was the deciding factor," Kiefer said. "This was the first time we had the trophy for the race, so we really wanted to win."

Ruth Ann Wefald, former rower for an intramural team from 1958 to 1960 at Smith College and President Jon Wefald's wife, presented K-State with the Kansas Cup trophy.

"I think the race is extremely appropriate and has great potential," Wefald said. "It's really fun to be out by the lake seeing K-State and KU go head to head."

THE PLAYERS

Although she was the bow

seat oarswoman of the var- sity-eight boat, senior Tricia Stockebrand shouldn't have been able to compete at the Division I level. At just 5 feet, 7 inches tall, she was several inches shorter than the aver- age rower. She said her desire to win was a key to success. "I think a lot of it is desire, and I have a lot of desire," Stockebrand said. "I have to be able to put out the same amount of force as someone with more leverage."

Senior Rebecca Riemer was a

model of consistency for the rowing team. Coach Jenny Hale said Riemer always gave the same effort in the sixth seat of the varsity-eight boat. "She sits in the power seat in the boat," Hale said. "The thing about Becca is she's consistent. From race to race and from practice to practice, the team can count on her."

Senior Heather Brunk led the

team to a second-place finish at the Midwest Indoor Row- ing Championships on Feb. 15, 1998, in Lawrence. For the second time in her career, she became the varsity open women's division champion as she rowed the 2,000 meters on an ergometer, or indoor rowing machine, in a time of 7:27.7. She improved upon her previous season's time by 5 seconds.

FOR THE CROWN

There wasn't room for two on the top, but they both wished for it. When Melissa Lull, junior in kinesiology, and Amy Davisson, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, shook hands in the center of the mat before the match, one was destined to have bragging rights forever.

The two members of Alpha Delta Pi soror- ity were vying for the 136-pound-and-above division title in the intramural wrestling tournament.

"I thought it was kind of weird because Amy is a friend of mine," Lull said. "1 had a mindset of 'have a good time.' It wasn't seri- ous."

In less than two minutes, Lull tripped Davisson and pinned her in the first period of the match.

"I really wanted the title," Lull said. "I didn't want to beat her, but deep down I really wanted the title of intramural cham- pion."

Lull and Davisson wrestled in the tourna- ment for more than an individual title. Both were wrestling to score points for ADPi's intramural standings. ADPi and Kappa Al- pha Theta were the only sororities that had members competing in the tournament.

Despite the lure of the championship, entering the meet took some prodding. Lull said she almost forfeited on the first night of the tournament when she saw the bleachers around the mats filled with spectators.

"When I walked in, I just about flipped," Lull said. "They had bleachers set up, and people were watching. It made me not want to do it."

Lull decided to go through with it, and it paid off when she pinned Jami Nelson, senior in mass communications and Theta member.

For Davisson, who wrestled in 1997, the crowd was less of a problem than telling her parents she entered the tournament.

"My parents about died when I told them that I was doing it," Davisson said. "My mom said she was glad she was sitting down when I told her."

Michelle Jones, junior in industrial engi- neering, repeated her 1997 intramural wres- tling championship with a win in the 135- pound weight class, making it a sweep for ADPi. Jones wrestled once in the tourna- ment, defeating Julene Sylvester, sophomore in human ecology and mass communication

and Theta member, in the first round. She won her final match by forfeit.

Jones said persuading girls in her sorority to enter the tournament was not easy.

"It's kind of funny to see who we can get to do it," Jones said. "I don't know if girls think it's weird to do it, or if they're just scared. Most girls in our house are just scared."

Theta members signed up Betsy Robinson, junior in family studies and hu- man services, for the tournament because she won the 136-pound-and-above champion- ship in 1997.

However, Robinson's second year com- peting in the tournament was not as gener- ous — she lost to Lull in the second round. She said more contestants didn't enter the tournament because of the connotations of women wrestlers.

"For girls, you're a butch because you're wrestling hard, or you're a sissy because you're not wrestling hard enough," Robinson said. "Wrestling is not an effemi- nate sport."

Peters Recreation Complex, Melissa Lull, junior in kinesiology, takes down Betsy Robinson, junior in family studies and human services. "I won last year and I thought I would try it again," Robinson said. "I'm getting too old for this and it is really hard because they only have two divisions. There are some really big girls, and some girls who are over 130, but they aren't huge. It makes it hard for those of us who aren't big to compete." (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

Lull's arm is raised by the referee after she won the championship match of the 136- pound-and-above division on Oct. 1 . She compiled a 3-0 record in the tournament, which was the first time she had competed in an intramural sport. Lull said her sorority sisters pressured her to enter the tournament. "It just started out as a joke," Lull said. "I was sitting in chapter and everyone told me to do it. It was really a dare." (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

Landing a prized recruit took nothing more than good interior decor.

In spring 1997, Nathan Leeper, 1997 NJCAA indoor and outdoor track and field national high jump champion, walked into Coach Cliff Rovelto's office during a recruiting visit and was drawn in by the decor.

"I remember walking into his office, and he had all his all-America certificates hanging up on the wall," said Leeper, who was a freshman at Dodge City Community College at the time. "I was sitting there looking at how many

of them were in the high jump, and I'm not sure how many of them he's got in there, but a lot of them said 'high jump.' "

Exactly 17 all-America high-jump certificates stared Leeper in the face, telling him to choose K-State over Northern Iowa and a number of other schools.

One year into the Leeper era, the total on Rovelto's wall was up to 19 certificates. The first with Leeper's name came from a 12th-place finish at the 1998 NCAA Indoor Championships. The second was from a win June 4 at the NCAA Outdoor Champion- ships.

After making a bold prediction June 3 at the NCAA Championships, Leeper lived up to his billing.

"Between the Big 1 2 meet and the NC A As, I jumped at bars in practice that were pretty high, and I was making them," Leeper said. "I told Coach the night before that I was going to win, and he said, 'OK.'"

Leeper's prediction came true when he jumped 7 feet, 5-3 /4 inches to defeat a field that included four previous NCAA champions and three World Championship finalists. Rovelto said Leeper's poise was key to taking the gold at the national championship.

"I think he has a healthy respect for competition," Rovelto said. "He knows what they've done, but when the competition starts, he's not dwelling on what they've done. He believes he's capable of competing with them."

Leeper kept his confidence behind a stoic face, Sherry Leeper, his mother, said.

"He's always been kind of laid-back competitive," Sherry said. "He doesn't show a whole lot of emotion; he just seems to play the game."

Little did Leeper know that his ability to handle his emotions would again serve him well. This time it was on June 21 at the USA Championships, just eight days after his 21st birthday.

Competing against the best the United States had to offer, Leeper emerged as one of the final five jumpers by clearing 7 feet, 4-1/2 inches. Charles Austin, the American high- jump record holder, cleared 7 feet, 6-1 /2 inches on his second attempt while the rest of the competitors failed on theirs. Last in the jumping order, Leeper watched as each of his three opponents failed on their final attempts at 7 feet, 6-1/2 inches. After gathering his composure, he left the earth in a determined leap. When he descended to the mat, he looked above to see the crossbar still resting on the standards.

"I had one jump to make the team because I was going to get beat by misses. I had too many misses at the lower bars," Leeper said. "Everything just kind of fell right into place. It happened all at once, and I made it."

Leeper did more than take the silver medal and qualify for the USA national team: he earned something to hang on his own wall.

two teams display abilities despite injuries, finish high in national and conference meets

men's Track ono Field

P" When K-State finished fifth in the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, May 15-17, 1998, no one was more surprised than Coach Cliff Rovelto.

The week before the conference championships, the Wildcats were missing senior Jeff Martin because of a leg injury, sophomore Harold Price due to an ankle sprain and senior T.J. Turner from elbow surgery. Each of the three were expected to score points at the meet.

"We're going to have to have a heck of a meet to be in the top half of the conference," Rovelto said a week prior to the meet.

Two weeks after the Big 12 Championships, the Wildcats finished 10th in the NCAA Outdoor Championships, highest of all Big 12 teams.

Sophomore high jumper Nathan Leeper, sophomore decathlete Attilla Zsivoczky, junior sprinter Randy Melbourne and the 1,600-meter relay team each scored points for the Wildcats at the NCAA Championships.

Although Leeper took the gold and Zsivoczky took the silver in each of their respective events, Rovelto said he liked seeing the fourth-place finish of the 1,600-meter relay team the most. Sprint relays were traditionally dominated by teams from the southern regions of the nation, but the Wildcats' team, consisting of Melbourne and seniors Keith Black, Scott Galas and Perry McBride, placed fourth with a time of 3:05.31.

"One of the most satisfying things was the performance of our 1600-meter relay team," Rovelto said. "We were the only team from a northern school in the finals at the NCAA meet."

Women's Trock pno Field

^ Fielding a complete track team was customary for Cliff Rovelto, and the greatest measuring stick for the completeness of the Wildcat team was the Big 12 Outdoor Championships. Rovelto said the team proved its quality, depth and completeness with its performance in Columbia, Mo.

"This particular team established themselves as one of the top four in the Big 12," Rovelto said. "It shouldn't be taken as staying the same because the conference is getting better."

Sophomore Erin Anderson, who placed second in the Big 12 pole vault, said the team's preparation was directed at the Big 12 meet.

"All season Coach was working on us to be ready for that meet," Anderson said. "Coach gave us a good pep talk the night before the meet. He told us that everyone has a chance to score at the meet, and I think everyone did except for maybe one person."

The significance of the Wildcats' feat at the Big 12 Championships was evident after the NCAA Championships. The Big 12 Conference was one of the top conferences in the nation in 1 998 with four of the top-20 NCAA Championship finishers, including national champion Texas.

Sophomore Renetta Seiler was the only Wildcat to place at the NCAA Champion- ships with a fifth-place finish in hammer throw. Her finish was enough to place the team 51st in the Championships.

poor luck struck the women's golf team as it fought through the spring and fall seasons

■ ^Despite a successful fall 1997 season, the women's golf team struggled to cope with injuries and the accompanied pressure in spring 1998.

The team began to struggle after its No. 1 player and fall scoring leader, freshman Edie Murdoch, suffered a shoulder injury at the second tournament in Austin, Texas.

"Edie brought in some very good scores in the fall," junior Jane Yi said. "She's a very good player. We definitely missed having her scores."

In addition to Murdoch, several other players had nagging injuries during the five season tournaments, including Yi, sophomore Carrie Chambers and junior Mitzi Taylor.

"Those injuries affected our play," said Taylor, who was hampered with back prob- lems. "With me, sometimes it's hard to get through 36 holes."

Winter weather also limited the Wildcats, forcing practices indoors.

"Not being able to practice outside really hurt us," Chambers said. "It makes it hard for us to prepare for our spring tournaments because all we can really do is hit into nets."

The team then found a way to win as it placed third at the Fighting Camel Classic, in Buies Creek, N.C. Senior Ann Slater said the reason for the team's success in the Fighting Camel Classic was its relaxed play.

"That was a fun tournament," Slater said. "I think everyone felt less stressed out than at the other tournaments. Personally, I was a lot more at ease with my game at that tournament."

The Wildcats were unable to duplicate that comfort at the Big 1 2 Championships, where they finished in 11th place. The team entered the tournament hoping to make a statement but suffered through the first round with a score of 337, Slater said.

"It was very disappointing for the team," Slater said. "I think we all tried too hard. I think we had too many expectations. We all had a lot on our minds those first two days."

Most team members shaved a significant number of strokes from their first-round scores in the third round. By the final round, the team shortened its total score to 316. Yi paved the way, reducing her score from a first-round 93 to a 73 in the third round.

"I came into the tournament really wanting to do well," Yi said. "That first day I was so nervous, I just didn't play well. I was mad at myself for playing bad, so on the last day I kept my spirits up, and it turned out well."

Although the spring season had disappointments, one pleasant surprise was freshman walk-on Traci Benninga, who stepped in to fill the void left by Murdoch's injury.

Benninga said the opportunity to play as a freshman was bittersweet because she played at Murdoch's expense.

"Stepping in was definitely a big responsibility," Benninga said. "I was really glad to get the opportunity to play because it gave me great experience, but at the same time I hated it because it happened because Edie got injured."

The poor health carried over to the fall season. Murdoch's injury remained with her for the start of the fall season, which gave her redshirt status.

"When the season started, Edie wasn't totally healthy," Coach Kristi Knight said. "Rather than push her or sit her out for a few tournaments, we decided to redshirt her."

With the absence of Murdoch, Knight said Taylor led the team in the fall.

"For the most part, without Mitzi Taylor we would have been in trouble," Knight said. "She really stepped up and was a force."

THE PLAYERS

Sophomore Traci Benninga

went from being a walk on in 1997 to one of the Wildcat's top five players in 1998. "Traci did tremendously well," Coach Kristi Knight said of Benninga's quick rise to the top. "We didn't expect her to be able to jump in there the way she did." Her best finish of the season was a tie for 43rd place Sept. 21 and 22 at the Heather Farr Memo- rial in Louisville, Colo.

In three of the five fall tourna- ments, senior Mitzi Taylor was the team's top finisher. She led the team at the Chip- N-Club Invitational, BiglO/ Big 12 Shoot-out and Diet Coke-Roadrunner Invita- tional. Her highest individual finish, which was also the highest finish of any Wildcat, was Sept. 14 and 15 at the Chip-N-Club Invitational in Lincoln, Neb., where she ended in a tie for 15th place.

When Taylor wasn't the Wild- cats' top finisher in the fall season, senior Jane Yi was. Yi was never less than third on the team in any tournament of the season. She was the top finisher at the Heather Farr Memorial, whereshetied for 17th place, and at the Big 12 Fall Preview, where she tied for 27th place.

[•Ul»fiJIrtT

men's golf team is blown away to a forget- table conference finish by foul weather

^ In the world of sports, the battle was usually waged against opponents. As the men's golf team discovered, sometimes a team battled other elements.

In 1998, the men faced Mother Nature's wrath as windy conditions and rain followed the Wildcats.

"It seemed like in every single tournament, one day had some really strong winds, 30- miles-per hour and above," Coach Tim Norris said. "It seemed like we could have finished higher if we were able to eliminate the effects the wind had on our play."

Another element Norris had no control over was time. Between K-State's last tournament in 1 997 and their first spring match, the team had nearly five months of break time.

Even with daily practice, Norris said not having any real matches to sustain the momentum affected the team.

"We practiced every morning before class," Norris said. "We hit balls. We chipped. We putted over at Brandenberry . But there's just something about not being on real grass that takes away your drive."

Real grass finally became a reality on March 9 at the Louisiana Classic. The Wildcats returned to the state where they played their final fall tournament hoping to duplicate, if not surpass, their third-place finish at the Louisiana Tech tournament.

The Wildcats shot a combined 942 during two windy days and finished 14th in the 15-team field. Sophomore Brian Racette, who placed 15th after posting a 228, turned in the top individual performance.

After braving the elements all season, Norris hoped to receive mercy from the weather at the season's final event, the Big 12 Championships.

Playing at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan., the Wildcats found no mercy. Faced with wind and steady rainfall, the Wildcats once again battled the elements. After three rounds, the team posted a combined 967 — its worst score of the season. That put the Wildcats at the bottom of the 12-team field.

Senior Matt Murdoch said the weather conditions made playing difficult.

"The conditions at the Big 12 tournament were worse than any tournament I've played in," he said. "A lot of people who came to see the Big 12 tournament were forced indoors because of the weather.

"The wind chills were bad, and the course was too wet to play on," he said. "I'm surprised it wasn't called."

Although displeased with the team's finish, Norris found positive results in indi- vidual performances. Racette returned to form with a 231, which resulted in a season- high and personal-best 15th place.

"Brian was probably our best player last season, and it reflected in his play at the Big 12 tournament," Norris said. "He didn't have a particularly good first round, but he really battled back."

After a difficult first round, Racette posted a 74 on the second, which was the best score of the round. He said the weather was a factor in outplaying the rest of the field in the second round.

"The weather was really bad," Racette said. "Most people were whining and didn't want to play the second round, and I knew I could jump ahead if I kept my concentration and played through it."

THE PLAYERS

K-State won its first tourna- ment in more than three years largely in part to the play of junior Mark Sears. He won the individual title in addition to the team's title in the Wildcat Invitational on Oct. 9 and 10 at Manhattan Country Club. He shot a 212 to capture the first individual title for a Wildcat in nearly two years.

Junior Brian Racette helped

K-State's cause at the Wildcat Intercollegiate with a sev- enth-place tie. Racette shot a 72 in the first round, then struggled in the second with a 76. He bounced back in the final round by shooting a par 70. In spring 1998, his 15th- place finish at the Big 12 Championships was the sec- ond-highest conference fin- ish in K-State history.

Senior Matt Murdoch ended

his career with a 47th-place finish at the Big 12 Champi- onships. Hedidn'timproveon his conference finish from a year before — a 14th place, the highest finish a Wildcat ever turned in at the confer- ence championship — but he led the team in one spring tournament. On April 13 at the Diet Pepsi/Shocker Clas- sic in Wichita, he turned in his best finish of the season with a team-high 22nd place.

from scratch

transition year forces young players into lineup, offense and pitching struggle to win against powerful big 12 conference teams

^ After losing 10 seniors to graduation and two juniors to the Major League draft, Coach Mike Clark looked to his incoming class to play a key role on the 1998 squad.

Six freshmen, five coming directly from high school ranks, saw playing time. Playing in the Big 12 Conference, which included four teams that advanced to the NCAA Regionals, the Wildcats went through some growing pains. Overall, K-State freshmen earned 41 starts, and newcomers accounted for 40 percent of runs scored and 48 percent of home runs.

"We have had a couple of transition years," Clark said. "Last season got the younger guys some experience and helped improve their game."

K-State ended the season with a record of 20-32 and 9-19 in the conference. It was the first time the Wildcats finished under .500 in three seasons.

"The tougher schedule has helped our team," freshman infielder Scott Voos said. "When you play in the Big 12 Conference, you must come to play everyday. In high school, you might face a player of the Big 12 caliber once a season, but now you play them everyday."

Freshman Kasey Weishaar led the youth movement, earning 16 starts in the outfield. Weishaar hit .299, two home runs and drove in 10 runs. However, he struggled in conference play, batting only .233 against Big 12 pitching.

"I was glad I got the opportunity to step in and contribute early," Weishaar said. "I learned a great deal as the season went on. At the beginning of the year, we got to face our pitchers in practice, and that helped us to prepare, but occasionally we would run into some guys who could throw a little harder."

Redshirt freshman Mark English also stepped up for the Wildcats. He backed up senior Josh Marn at third base and batted .371 . His season highlight came March 13 when he blasted a pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the fifth inning that helped the Wildcats defeat Air Force Academy, 5-4.

Junior college transfers also played a key role for the Wildcats. Junior outfielder and pitcher Andy Silva, junior infielder Chet Savage and junior outfielder Quinn Cravens were mainstays in the lineup. Silva provided stopping power as the closing pitcher, leading the conference in saves with eight, and he pitched a team-low 2.66 ERA. Silva also played right field and was second on the team in doubles with 17. Savage started every game and was third in RBIs. Cravens brought power to the lineup, tying Marn for the team's home-run lead with nine.

Mixed in with the newcomers were three senior full-time starters: center fielder Eric Sommerhauser, catcher Yancy Ayres and Marn.

The Wildcats, who were last in the Big 12 in offensive output, fared worse on the road than at home. The team had a 3-18 record away from Frank Myers Field and batted .277. Two of the three road wins came April 25 and 26 in Ames, Iowa, where the team beat Iowa State. In the second win against the Cyclones, the Wildcats belted 23 hits and scored 22 runs for the team's largest offensive output of the season.

THE PLAYERS

Senior third baseman Josh

Marn led the team in hits, RBIs, runs scored, on-base percentage and tied for the lead in home runs. In the final conference standings, he fin- ished 1 3th in hits with 76 for all games and 14th in batting average at .369 in conference games. He was a first-team academic all-Big 12 selection. To be named to the academic all-Big 12, one had to be a regular player with at least a 3.2 GPA.

Junior outfielder Quinn Cra- vens hit nine home runs — tying for the team lead with Marn. His eighth-inning home run against nationally- ranked Baylor on April 21 at Frank Myers Field helped the Wildcats win 4-2. He was also the only Wildcat on the 1998 team to have a two-home- run game. His two-home-run performance came on April 17 in a 14-inning, 14-13 win against Cal State-Northridge.

Junior pitcher Mickey Blount,

who played only seven games due to an arm injury, led the Wildcats in strikeouts per in- nings pitched. He struck out 38 batters in 29.1 innings. His career-high 12 strikeouts cameon April 21 ina10-2loss against Baylor.

Lack of hitting experience was not the team's only concern, Clark said. Pitching experience was also at a minimum. Injuries to juniors Mickey Blount and Jason Wells decimated the pitching staff, which finished the season with a 6.32 ERA, and forced inexperienced players into the lineup.

"We didn't have the staff we had anticipated," Clark said. "Our pitching staff was shorthanded. Injuries to those guys really hurt our club. Those guys were our top two pitchers, and we basically had to send our No. 3 guy against other teams' No. 1 guy."

While the Wildcats introduced a number of new players, they said goodbye to their home stadium, Frank Myers Field. After the season, Myers Field received a new playing surface, grandstands, press box, locker rooms and office facilities. On May 5, Wichita State defeated the Wildcats 5-17 in seven innings in the final game at Myers Field as they knew it.

"I hate to leave the Frank that way," freshman infielder Josh Cavender said. "We tried our best to send the Frank out on a good note."

^ Ground was broken for Frank Myers Field renovations before the May 5 game against Wichita State. The ceremony included President Jon Wefald, athletic director Max Urick, director of development Ernie Barrett, Coach Mike Clark and team members. The new stadium was scheduled for completion by the start of the 1999 season.

In the 37 seasons the Wildcats played at Myers Field, they won 518 games and had only eight losing seasons. The stadium was built in 1961 to honor former baseball coach Frank Myers.

Myers' only season as the Wildcats' baseball coach was the 1940 season when they had a record of 10-6, placing second in the Big 6 Conference. He occupied many subsequent positions in the Department of Athletics. At one point in his career he was the assistant athletic director to Mike Ahearn.

the drain

wildcats allow no. 1 ranking, window of opportunity and dream season to slip away

- !► An announcement flashed on the two Sony JumboTrons, creating an explosion of screams, high fives and maybe even some tears of joy among the 20,000 K-State fans in the Trans World Dome in St. Louis, Mo. The message was simple — Miami 49, UCLA 45.

On Dec. 5, the final day of the college football season, when three undefeated teams would play consecutively on national television, UCLA fell from the ranks of the unbeaten.

"Everybody in the stadium saw the score, and I'm not going to sit here and say we didn't see it and it didn't give us a little boost, " senior offensive guard Jeremy Martin said after the Big 12 Championship. "If anything, it gave us a little boost. I think from then on, we knew we had to take care of business, and we just didn't get it done today."

To the Wildcat fans watching K-State, ranked No. 1 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll, play No. 10 Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship, the UCLA loss meant K-State would travel to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to play for the national championship.

However, at some point after that fateful announcement, the championship started slipping out of K-State's grasp.

A 65-yard drive late in the fourth quarter capped off by a 9-yard touchdown reception by Sirr Parker brought the Aggies, who trailed by 15 going into the final period, within two points of the Wildcats. On the two-point conversion attempt, Parker caught the ball out of the backfield again and tied the score at 27.

The Wildcats then put together a drive that ended with Michael Bishop unleashing a bomb that dropped into senior receiver Everett Burnett's arms. Time expired as Burnett landed on his back with the ball cradled in his arms two yards from the endzone.

In the second overtime, after both teams settled for field goals in the first OT, the Wildcats kicked another field goal and hoped their defense could stop the Aggies.

Facing third and 1 7 at the 32-yard line, Parker slipped out of the backf ield and split out wide to catch a bullet fired by quarterback Branndon Stewart. Parker broke two tackles and reached the ball over the pylon with Wildcat safety Lamar Chapman latched to his shoulder pads, ending the longest game in K-State history.

The touchdown also ended the Wildcats' dream, induced their pain and sent them to San Antonio to play in the Builders Square Alamo Bowl.

"The pain is there because there was such an investment. Such an emotional invest- ment made by all these young people, far greater than most have ever made," Coach Bill Snyder said, fighting back tears. "The greater the investment, the greater the pain."

Snyder said the loss was one of the most significant events of his life.

"In my 10 years here, I've lost a mother, I've lost a grandfather, the only two remaining relatives I had older than myself," Snyder said. "The tremendous accident that involved my daughter. I mean those are tremendous losses, tremendous losses, and this was, I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but I had the same kind of feelings."

Despite the anguish of the squandered opportunity, the 1 998 season became one of the defining chapters in the "miracle in Manhattan" football program turnaround.

Four All- Americans and nine First Team All-Big 12 selections wore K-State purple. They had the Paul "Bear" Bryant National Coach of the Year in Snyder and the Heisman Trophy runner-up in Michael Bishop. They beat their regular-season opponents by an average of 38 points-per-game, while going undefeated and holding the No. 1 ranking in the nation for the first time in school history.

After pummeling Baylor 49-6, the Wildcats were tied with Tennessee in the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches Poll on Nov. 8 for their first No. 1 ranking.

Although the Wildcats ranked No. 1 in one of the two polls used to determine the opponents of the national championship game, they were No. 2 in the Associated Press poll. Still, they trailed Tennessee and UCLA in what really counted — the Bowl Champi- onship Series standings.

In the inaugural season for the BCS, K-State not only needed to impress voters, but it also needed to impress the Pentium Processors. Along with the two polls, the Sagarin Power Rating, New York Times Power Rating and Seattle Times Power Rating each had a say who was the best team in the nation.

After eking past the 14th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes 16-9 on Oct. 10, a reporter asked Snyder how he thought margin of victory would play into the outcome of the season.

"Okinawa Free Press has a ranking that, depending on what color of socks you wear ..." Snyder said. "I honestly don't pay attention to them because I don't understand them."

Snyder showed his lighter side at that moment, but he expressed his disappointment with the team's performance against the Buffaloes.

"I don't think our football team is really pleased with the way we won the ballgame. I've been hearing all week, whoever says those things, about ugly wins. If there is such a thing as an ugly win, then you witnessed one today," Snyder said. "I don't think you're going to hear a joyous locker room."

Although Snyder wasn't pleased with the quality of the win against Colorado, the opposite could be said about the Wildcats' 40-30 win over llth-ranked Nebraska on Nov. 14. He might have even cracked a smile after he shed that monkey wearing a big red "N" off his back.

"I'm happy. I can assure you that, contrary to popular belief," Snyder said after the game. "I feel very good about this win. I'm humbled by it in all honesty because of the amount of time that it's taken to do this."

In what many called the "biggest game in K-State history," the Wildcats were faced with beating a team they hadn't defeated in 29 consecutive attempts. But on the unseason- ably warm November day in front of 44,298, the largest crowd in KSU Stadium history, the No. 1-ranked Wildcats were not denied.

The combination of Bishop and receiver Darnell McDonald struck first in the second half as Bishop fired a pass to McDonald. After catching the ball, he ran through three would-be tacklers and spun into the endzone with his arms reaching to the heavens. With that 17-yard touchdown, the Wildcats took their first lead of the game at 21-17.

The second connection came with 5 minutes, 25 seconds remaining in the game and the Wildcats trailing 30-27. On third and 10 at the Nebraska 11-yard line, Bishop took the snap and rolled right. Searching the field for an open receiver, he spotted McDonald standing alone in the center of the field. Bishop rifled the ball across the flow of traffic into

wildcats' title hopes go down the

nmmmm

McDonald's hands for the go-ahead score.

The importance of the game reached farther than the field. To K-State students, alumni and other fans, it was a game to bank on being the one to remember. Some even took it to the bank as scalpers sold their $14 student tickets for as much as $1,000 a piece. However, no one could put a price on seeing the K-State student section empty onto the field before the game even ended not once, not twice, but three times before dismantling the north goalpost.

"As long as I live," Jon Wefald said before the Builders Square Alamo Bowl at the Dec. 28 pep rally in San Antonio, "I will never forget the sight of 20,000 students coming onto the field after beating the University of Nebraska."

The fans rushed the field immediately following Jeff Kelly's 23-yard fumble return for a touchdown, but the clock still had three ticks left. After Bishop took a knee on the extra-point conversion, the fans again hit the field, not realizing the clock did not run during extra point at- tempts. As sophomore Adrian Beard tackled Shevin Wiggins on the ensuing kickoff, time expired, and the fans engulfed the field for the last time.

One week later in Columbia, Mo., the 19th-ranked Missouri Tigers greased their goalposts in anticipation of a monumental upset.

Fate seemed to be against the Wildcats on the Friday before they arrived in Columbia. The bus transporting team members to the airport collided into the wingtip of the airplane as it sat on the Manhattan Regional Airport tarmac. The collision injured no one, but caused a four- hour delay for the team's departure.

The next day, the Wildcats struggled against the physical Tigers, but held on to win 31-25.

Tiger quarterback Corby Jones, unconvinced of K- State's No. 1 ranking after the game, was almost prophetic of the Wildcats' fate in weeks to come.

"If you put them at No. 1, then where does that leave us?" Jones said. "We felt like we were the best football team out there today, and we felt like we outplayed them. We just didn't get the victory."

Two weeks later, the Wildcats were in St. Louis. Al- though they were No. 3 in the BCS heading into the Big 12 Championship, when UCLA lost, K-State could throw away its calculator and quit praying to make it in by the slimmest of decimal points. It was win, and they're in. Competing in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl was so close, they could feel it. "I've had a lot of surgeries in my career here," senior linebacker Travis Ochs said after the game. "But nothing has ever hurt this bad."

"They've been attacked almost everywhere we've installed them," said Bob Allen, vice- president of Merchants Environ- mental Industries, the manufac- turer of the goalpost.

game prize

in wake of football team's biggest win, fans charge the field to claim their trophy.

^ The Wildcat football team got its victory, and the fans wanted theirs.

Equipped with everything from ropes to yellow signs warning the crowd to "watch for falling goalpost," the fans came with every intention of tearing the goalpost down.

"I'd have to say I was hoping for a victory," Matt Galas, junior in architectural engineering, said. "I was ready to tear down the goalpost."

Two weeks earlier, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics installed the steel goalpost, specifically designed to resist destruction. Fans knew it would be no easy task taking down the goalpost, which stood in front of the student sec- tion in the north endzone.

"We all knew it had been reinforced," Brian Becker, freshman in milling sci- ence and management, said. "We knew it would take a while."

After jumping and hanging on the goalpost, the fans attached pulleys to add more weight. Time passed, and the goalpost began to lean, but it didn't fall.

Some fans began to look toward the south goalpost. However, guards filled the south endzone, ending that option.

As minutes ticked by, many simply watched and waited.

"The time it took kind of wore down the emotion," Becker said. "But there were people still yelling and cheering."

Thirty-three minutes and $14,500 later, they claimed their prize. The crowd had torn it down, despite the athletic department's preventative efforts.

"The university had tried to fool us by greasing it and reinforcing it," Becker said. "But then we brought it down. It was awesome."

After the goalpost fell, the fans carried it through the KSU Stadium barriers and onto Kimball Avenue. As police escorted them down Denison Avenue and through campus on Claflin Road to North Manhattan Avenue, those who were not touching the goalpost picked up street signs, orange cones and construction barrels.

"It was pretty scary," Matt Dill, freshman in electrical engineering, said. "When we got to Aggieville, just trying to stay on your feet was a big chore. It was one of the scariest and one of the most fun things I've ever been a part of."

When the crowd reached Aggieville, people lined the streets, filled the trees and stood on lampposts to watch the goalpost pass. Spectators filled the east end of North Manhattan Avenue and Moro Street and overflowed into Triangle Park.

After pushing, pulling and shouting hundreds of instructions through the streets, the fans hoisted the goalpost on the roof of Rusty's Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon.

The crowd surrounded Chance, cheering those who raised the goalpost atop the bar.

"It was fun because you felt like you'd accomplished something," Dill said. "It took us a long time to get down there. If you'd gone the whole way with it, it felt good."

The fans had reason to feel good.

For 29 years, K-State had waited to beat Nebraska, and for seven years, Merchants Environmental Industries, the manufacturer of the goalposts, had been able to guarantee its goalposts were unbreakable.

That night it happened. Hell froze over. The mighty Cornhuskers fell, and the goalpost followed.

"It was an experience I'll never forget," Galas said. "It was a great day for me, for K- State and for all of their fans."

One year later, Bishop, then a senior, was so much more than the man. He was the man who finished second in the Heisman balloting. He was the man who could fire a football more than 90 yards. He was the man who led K-State to its first victory over Nebraska since 1968.

Bishop won the Davey O'Brien Award and passed for a K-State record 2,844 yards and 23 touchdowns. He mesmer- ized those watching by running through tacklers or zinging the football 45 yards in a straight line downfield.

Regardless of Bishop's athletic talents, Coach Bill Snyder said his competitive nature was what made him who he was.

"He's a very competitive young man. He may carry that to a different level," Snyder said. "Winning is important to him. Playing well is important to him."

Bishop said nothing defined his season more than the Wildcat's win over Nebraska .

After three fumbles on consecutive possessions in the second quarter, Bishop was handing the Cornhuskers the game, but he fought back in the second half to lead the Wildcats. He finished with four touchdowns, 306 yards passing and 140 yards rushing.

"Last night you could see it in his eyes. We were going to play well," senior linebacker Jeff Kelly said about Bishop after the game. "We told each other we've got to play well and win this game."

The Wildcat's triumph over the Cornhuskers avenged Bishop's only blemish, a loss to Nebraska in 1997, the first of his collegiate career to that point. His record as a starting quarterback came to 45-1 — 24-0 with two community college national championships at Blinn Community College and 21-1 at K-State. It was as if Bishop didn't know how to lose.

Three weeks after beating Nebraska, Bishop's career started to lose that sparkling shine. He fumbled with 2 minutes, 26 seconds left to play in the Big 12 Championship, giving Texas A&M a chance to tie the game and eventually win 36-33 in double overtime.

Bishop said the loss, which lost the Wildcats' birth into the national championship game, haunted him.

"It's something that each player dreams about — the opportunity to play in the national championship game," Bishop said. "We were so close. Experiencing what we went through is something that will stick in my mind for a long time."

The nightmare didn't end there. Bishop threw four interceptions, matching his total from the rest of the season, in the 37-34 loss to unranked Purdue at the Builders Square Alamo Bowl Dec. 29.

After the Purdue debacle, he put his performance and season into perspective.

"I don't think we have anything to be sad about. We played well," he said, always turning questions about him into answers about the team. "We had turnovers, but we did great things all season, and we can't let this one game take away from all the great things we did."

Despite the less-than-storybook ending, Bishop said saying goodbye to taking the field on Saturdays at KSU Stadium was difficult.

"It's going to be hard to let go, but that's part of life," he said. "You can't hold on to everything forever." ' by Joel White

Dec. 27 — The Builders Square Alamo Bowl bid tested college football's best traveling fans, and they passed — barely.

After K-State lost the Big 12 Championship game and the opportunity to play in the national championship game, many wondered if the dejected K-State fans would travel to San Antonio.

The answer wasn't so clear during the Alamo Bowl Team Fiesta at the Arneson River Theatre on the River Walk. Among the projected 1,000 in attendance, Purdue fans surpassed K-State in both numbers and noise.

"This is the first pep rally that I've been to where the K-State fans were outnumbered/' Charles Munson, K-State fan and Junction City resident, said.

Preston Sperry, sophomore in psychology, questioned K-State fans' dedication because of their low numbers at the pep rally.

"I'm beginning to wonder about the loyalty of the hard-core fans," Sperry said. "I think there's a lot of fair-weather fans."

Michael Heintz, senior in environmental sciences at Purdue, said he did not know K- State's reputation for following the team and was not surprised by the turnout at the pep rally.

"Having been here last year, this is what I expected," Heintz said about the large number of Purdue fans in attendance. "I'm expecting it to keep escalating as we get closer to the game."

Dec. 28 — The K-State faithful finally

came out in full force.

More than 10,000 people filed into Freeman Coliseum on the Monday afternoon for a pep rally sponsored by the KSU Alumni Association.

Matt David, senior in hotel and restaurant management who attended the K-State bowl game for the fourth-straight year, said he thought not playing in a Bowl Championship Series game would have kept K-State fans from traveling to San Antonio.

"There are a lot more people here than I thought there would be," David said. "This is comparable to the Holiday Bowl, but probably a little bit more."

People attended the pep rally to see the football team as well as speakers Gov. Bill Graves, Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., President Jon Wefald and Coach Bill Snyder.

Roberts assured the audience K-State fans would travel anywhere to see the Wildcats play football

"If the game were held in Timbuktu, Baghdad or Bosnia, we would be there," Roberts said.

Snyder said when he arrived in San Antonio to accept the Builders Square Alamo Bowl bid, the bowl officials asked him to plead to K-State fans to attend the game.

"I said, 'No, I'm not going to do that. These are K-Staters. They will do what is right by our program,' " Snyder said, speaking to the fans. "You have never ever let us down."

Dec. 29 — In front of more than 25,000 K- State fans sitting in disbelief in San Antonio's Alamo Dome, Michael Bishop shook hands with his friends in the stands then strutted to his mother Ethel, who was waiting in the tunnel entering the arena. Photographers and television cameras surrounded the couple, capturing the star at the end of his era.

This wasn't where Bishop and the rest of the Wildcats planned to be at the end of their season. The Wildcats were supposed to be hoisting the national championship trophy above their heads under the Arizona sky. Instead they were dealing with a 37-34 loss to Purdue in the Builders Square Alamo Bowl.

A 36-33 loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship sent the previously undefeated Wildcats to San Antonio to face the 8-4, unranked Boilermakers. Coach Bill Snyder said K-State's mediocre performance was an effect of the setback.

"I thought we were pretty lethargic. I think we are still reeling from three weeks ago," Snyder said. "I had hoped that wouldn't be the case, but I can't say I wasn't concerned about it.

"I think everybody tried not to let that have an impact on this ball game," he said. "Tonight was a culmination of maybe three weeks of disappointment."

Before the game, K-State not only had to deal with the disappointment, but they also had to deal with Purdue's revered air attack — something that had tormented the Wildcats the three previous games when they gave up a total of eight touchdown passes.

Purdue came in averaging 323.7 yards passing per game and almost four touchdown passes per game with their Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Year quarterback Drew Brees.

With the exception of the Boilermakers' final scoring drive, which Brees orchestrated, his 25 of 53 passing for 230 yards and three touchdowns were well below average. The Wildcats' defense, which appeared to have

recovered from three weeks prior, also intercepted Brees three times.

"We might have played bad the last four or five games," junior safety Lamar Chapman said. "Tonight, I think we played pretty well. "

The defense played well until the Boilermaker's final drive starting with 1 minute, 24 seconds to play. Brees' passes sliced through the secondary — going 80 yards in six plays and 54 seconds. The drive ended with a game-winning, 24-yard strike to receiver Isaac Jones.

The Wildcat offense sputtered for more than three quarters as Bishop threw for 182 yards on 9-for-24 passing and three touchdowns and four interceptions. He averaged 237 yards per game passing and had only thrown four interceptions in the Wildcats' previous 12 games. The interceptions thrown against the Boilermakers came from trying too hard to set the tone, Bishop said.

"I think some plays I wanted to get something going and get the crowd into it and get everybody in their right place," he said. "I may have pressed a little bit too hard and made some mental mistakes, and some of those mistakes hurt us."

Purdue safety Billy Gustin picked off two Bishop passes while safety Adrian Beasley and linebacker John Reeves each added one. Reeves' interception came from a desperation throw on the final play of the game.

Snyder compared the scene in the locker room after the game to the environment after the Big 12 Championship.

"I think basically what we talked about was reminiscent of three weeks ago," Snyder said. "I don't think there's any reason for them to lose sight of the fact that they won 1 1 ball games.

"They did so many positive things throughout the course of the year," he said. "I told them I understand their pain and their hurt and that it was, again, something that we have to be strong enough to overcome."

THE

SPORTS

constantly evolved to accommo- date needs for the future. Innovation en- hanced K-State athletes, competition and fa- cilities. As a result, improvements in athletes' strength and speed became evident to the Big 12, which named strength coach Rod Cole Co- Strength and Conditioning Professional of the Year. In the realm of new competition, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics con- sidered adding another women's varsity sport to move closer to compliance with Title IX requirements. Facility- wise, KSU Stadium ex- pansion, which began after the final home football game of the season, took the stadium's capacity from 42,000 to about 46,000. Plans for future facilities included a new weight room in Ahearn Field House and recre- ational fields at Hunters Island for club sport use. The sports developments inspired the question, "What would the millenium have in store for K-State athletics?"

ks far as strength coach Rod Cole was concerned, he did not need space-age technology to make athletes bigger, faster and stronger. All he needed was a few weights and effort from the people he trained.

"Man seeks better methods, but the answer is in character and hard work," Cole said. "Strength programs vary tremendously . Someone can be on the opposite end of the spectrum from where we are here at Kansas State and still be very successful."

Cole gave Michigan as an example of a program that used completely different methods in strength and conditioning but still had excellent results. Michigan won a share of the 1997 NCAA football national championship. What K-State and Michigan shared were athletes willing to work hard in the weight room, Cole said.

It was not that Cole, 1998 Co-Big 12 Strength and Conditioning Professional of the Year, didn't seek new methods for training, but he said nothing worked unless the athlete gave maximum effort.

A sign above Cole's office in the Newell Strength Facility at the Vanier Football Complex stated the K-State strength and conditioning objective: "Kansas State football: What will we do this year? Work hard."

While hard work was the key to strength and conditioning success, Cole said he still searched for better ways to train. One of the newer techniques Cole implemented at K- State included using chains on the end of the bars at the squat racks. As the athlete pushed the bar upward, the chains came off the floor, making it heavier.

Although the methods changed rapidly, the machines and facilities did not, men's

basketball strength coach Marty Lehman said.

"We've got the Cadillac of equipment," Lehman said. "We just need more of it."

Cole ranked K-State's strength and conditioning facilities seventh or eighth in the Big 12. He said a feasible expansion of the 8,000-square-foot Newell facility would put K-State in the top four or five.

But athletic director Max Urick said building a new strength training facility for the Olympic sport teams was a bigger need than expanding the Newell facility.

"Our goal is to have strength and conditioning facilities at each of the venues where our people practice and work out," Urick said. "Our next goal is to have one in Ahearn or the Ahearn area."

After the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics built a 1,200-square-foot weight room for the basketball teams in November 1998 in Bramlage Coliseum, the next area of concern was Ahearn Field House. The volleyball, track, tennis, rowing and golf teams' offices were each located there.

Urick couldn't predict when the Ahearn weight room modifications would start, but he said they wouldn't begin in the 1999 fiscal year.

A new weight room in Ahearn would end the overcrowding problem in the Newell facility, but it might not be the most important reason to improve facilities, Cole said.

"One of the reasons having new, shiny, impressive weight rooms and impressive equipment is recruiting," Cole said. "If I'm an 18-year-old high school student, and I go look at five different universities, and one has a weight room that is obviously more shoddy than the others, I'm not going there."

s a four-year letter winner in soccer at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park, Kan., Amanda Sweeten searched for a university where she could continue her athletic career.

In spring 1995, Sweeten said she sat in athletic director Max Urick's office and asked him if women's soccer would become a varsity sport at K-State. He said the university would someday have women's varsity soccer.

"That's the reason I came up here," Sweeten, senior in fine arts, said. "I still have yet to see it."

Sweeten turned down a soccer scholarship offer from the University of Missouri-Rolla to attend K-State. She graduated in spring 1999 without ever playing a varsity soccer game.

Although Sweeten never saw K-State, the only school in the Big 12 without a women's varsity soccer team, with anything more than a club soccer team, there was still a possible future for the sport at the university.

In the spring, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics considered adding women's archery, bowling, equestrian, lacrosse, riflery, soccer, softball or swimming/diving to varsity status.

To be in compliance with Title IX, which forced NCAA members to have the same proportion of women on athletic scholarship to women enrolled as men on athletic scholarship to men enrolled, K-State needed about 65 more women on athletic scholarship.

K-State added women's rowing in 1997, and Urick said the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics wanted the sport to get off the ground before adding another.

"We committed at that time that we would

1276

not consider a sport for five years to make sure that sport had a chance to get off the ground," Urick said. "That's the one thing we want to do is make sure we don't negatively impact any of our current programs."

Urick said the department wouldn't follow the five-year rule strictly because the rowing team's participation and funding was strong enough to not be affected by the addition of a new sport.

The decision of which sport would get the nod depended on the effect on existing sports, number of participants, facility requirements, number of coaches, nature of the sport, competition opportunities, governing rules, equipment, cost and spatial considerations.

"I think every sport that is a possibility has an equal chance," assistant athletic director Erick Harper said.

Three-year softball club member Jenny Rose, senior in accounting, said she didn't believe softball would become the next varsity sport at K-State even though 10 of the 12 schools in the Big 12 had softball.

"They always get overlooked," Rose said. "They think it's too expensive to buy equipment, but we've already got half the equipment."

Regardless of what became the next varsity sport at K-State, Harper said he didn't know the time frame the department was looking at. The only certainty was nothing would happen until money became available.

"I'm sure it wouldn't be any sooner than the 2000-2001 academic year," Harper said. "I don't know exactly what our goal is. What it all boils down to is funding."

lacrosse, K-State's most successful club sport in school history, secured its roots on the south side of Memorial Stadium's field in 1989.

In the Lacrosse Club's nine-year existence, it won more than 80 percent of its games, but that didn't stop it from losing its practice field to the Anderson Avenue expansion.

"It's kind of like the loss of an era," club president, coach and player Jay Sweet, senior in architectural engineering, said. "This is where we started."

When Bayer Construction Co. Inc., ironically the company Sweet worked for, started tearing into the open lot south of Memorial Stadium, the Lacrosse Club lost its practice area forever.

Although the team continued to play games at Memorial Stadium, it was forced to search for a new place to practice. Sweet found a temporary home in Fremont Park, an empty lot he used to mow for the Riley County Parks Department.

The Rugby Club faced the same problem.

Last summer, the Rugby Club switched from Memorial Stadium to the lot between the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex and the east parking lot of KSU Stadium.

Club president Wes DeLong, fifth-year senior in architectural engineering, said the lot was used for parking during football games, so the club nicknamed it "the slab."

"It's usually pretty hard ground. Every now and then there's charcoal, beer bottle caps and sometimes broken glass," DeLong said. "It's not the ideal place."

The club played its home games at a field near Tuttle Creek, but it continued to search for a permanent home, DeLong said.

I2za_

Matt Truta, collegiate captain of the team and senior in history, said the club was not in danger of becoming extinct, but a better facility would greatly help its situation.

"The club will always be around I'm sure," Truta said. "It would be a lot easier for everybody if we had a better place to play."

The lacrosse and rugby clubs' predicaments could be remedied with the Division of Facilities' plans to turn a 12-acre plot of land south of Manhattan into a recreational field park.

"We scoured the city trying to find a place that was suitable for club sports," Mark Taussig, university landscape architect, said. "We wanted it to be close, as close as we could get it. We wanted it to have at least three or four fields so they could rotate and not have to play on the same field every day."

The area, named Hunters Island because of its location west of the Kansas River and south of Wildcat Creek, was a former mobile home park. The land had no housing potential because of its frequent flooding.

Riley County owned the land, but if the university improved Hunters Island by creating recreational fields, it would have unlimited free access to it, Taussig said.

"We've gone and visited with the commissioners once, and putting words in their mouths, they said it was a very positive meeting," Taussig said. "They thought it was a very good use of that site — for recreation."

Hunters Island had enough room for

restrooms, a storage building, about 200

fields.

"All we need is money," Taussig said about the project's holdback. "We need a lot of money."

Taussig said the total project with eight fields would cost about $1 million. Since the funds had yet to be raised, Taussig said he did not know when they would be able to break ground for the project.

"I have no time frame," Taussig said. "If we wait too long, we'll probably lose the site."

After the Hunters Island project, the next goal for K-State Facilities would be Memorial Stadium renovations.

"The long-term plan is to have Memorial Stadium be the gamefield, and the Hunters

Island site, or whatever other site, would be the practice site," Taussig said. "So Memorial Stadium would be preserved in a game-field type condition."

The KSU Alumni Center, scheduled to begin construction this summer, would sit south of Memorial Stadium.

Following construction of the Alumni Center, the KSU Alumni Association would contribute $125,000 for Memorial Stadium field improvements, Taussig said.

Memorial Stadium would be used for lacrosse and soccer games.

Sweet questioned the intelligence of building the Alumni Center at the end of the lacrosse field.

"If they're going to build this building,

did they really consider there would be a 2- 1/2 inch in diameter rubber ball coming at it at 100-miles-per-hour?" Sweet asked.

Taussig said the solution to that problem would be a net that would catch any flying lacrosse or soccer ball headed toward the building, similar to a net behind the goalposts at a football field.

Regardless of Taussig's hopes, any of the Hunters Island or Memorial Stadium plans would die without funding. If the plans for the facilities fell through, club team members wouldn't allow the clubs to die out, Sweet said.

"Guys who play lacrosse, rugby and soccer love their game," Sweet said. "We're going to find a place to play-"

MOST

improved

Throughout a turbulent season filled with injuries to key players and new team members learning their roles on the women's basketball team, junior forward Nicky Ramage was the calm within the storm.

Following a quiet sophomore campaign, Ramage responded by leading the Wildcats with 13.8 points per game and 6.5 rebounds.

The source of Ramage's improved play wasn't any- thing out of the ordinary according to Coach Deb Patterson, who said maturity was the driving force be- hind her performance.

"Some players just stay where they're at and don't take steps forward," Patterson said. "Nicky just insisted she would grow and improve."

Ramage's dedication to improving her play down low was known immediately, following a career high 27-point outing in K-State's season-opening 63-62 loss to Ohio State.

After her breakthrough performance, Ramage led the Wildcats in scoring in 12 games.

The sudden emergence inside helped ease the temporary loss of center Angie Finkes, who sat out the home stretch of Big 12 conference play following an ankle injury suffered prior to K-State's 70-63 victory against Iowa State Feb. 10.

Without another experienced post player in the Wildcats' lineup, Ramage said producing inside was the best way to help the team win.

"Everyone on the team has their roles," she said. "If someone's down a night and not shooting well, someone else needs to step up. Everyone is there for everybody."

But the fact that Finkes wasn't there for a majority of the season made it difficult on Ramage, who formed a solid bond with the Wildcat center after rooming together their freshman year.

"When I met her, it just seemed like we were sisters," Ramage said. "She was just like me, and we would say the same things at the same time, and we still do today."

This off-court fusion quickly turned into a productive relationship on the court, where the two often fed off each other's emotion. Behind this tag-team effort, the Wildcats experienced positive results.

"Each player brings a unique perspective to the floor," Patterson said. "There's a real symbiotic relationship between the two."

The similarities between Finkes and Ramage extended to awards as well. While Finkes earned honorable mention All-Big 12 status for the second consecutive season, Ramage's contribution earned a spot on the league's third team.

Finally earning the rewards of a season-long dedication to improving on the court and in the weight room, Finkes said she couldn't be happier for her friend.

"She has tons and tons of athletic talent," Finkes said, "and to see her take it to the level of being considered one of the Big 12's best players is just awesome."

despite injuries to several key players, team knocks off several ranked opponents

►The women's basketball team endured injuries and inexperience, but it persevered to finish with a 14-12 regular-season record, knocking off four nationally-ranked teams along the way.

Coach Deb Patterson credited the team's persistence with overcoming obstacles.

"They're tough," Patterson said. "I don't know of many teams that have played 21 of 28 games against the top 75 teams in the nation, have no seniors on the roster and have the magnitude of injuries we've had and are still in postseason play."

The misfortune began with injuries striking the team in the preseason. In addition to September leg surgeries for junior college transfer center Olga Firsova and sophomore guard Kim Woodlee, sophomore guard Dee DeShay reinjured her knee in an off-season workout, causing her to miss the entire season. As if that weren't enough, an injury ended the season of senior forward Heather Smith.

A season-ending injury to senior guard Jenny Coalson on opening night left the guard positions in the hands of freshmen Essence Perry, Kristin Rethman and a recuperating Woodlee. It also left Patterson wondering if her team's hopes of Big 12 contention were dead.

"I thought, 'It's going to be a long season,' and, 'How are we ever going to win any games in this league?' " Patterson said.

The Wildcats played a schedule featuring seven nationally-ranked teams and 10 eventual NCAA tournament qualifiers.

"Knowing the challenging schedule we had before us, there was some concern," Patterson said. "But, we also understood it was an opportunity for us to get tougher."

The season began with the Wildcats falling just short of a victory over Ohio State.

Junior forward Nicky Ramage sparked the team, tying a career high with 27 points, while junior Angie Finkes chipped in 12.

The two would remain at the forefront for much of the season, finishing first and second on the team in scoring and rebounding. Ramage put up 13.8 points and 6.5 boards per game, while Finkes averaged 12.1 and 6.1. Perhaps more importantly, the duo took up the leadership role left by Coalson's and Smith's injuries, Patterson said.

"They had to be the example of work ethic, of consistency, of what is and isn't acceptable on and off the floor," she said. "While we impart the message, they truly are the example."

After alternating blowout wins with losses for the rest of the season's opening month, the Wildcats found their stride in December. Despite fractured hands for Perry and Rethman occurring during the month, the squad stormed through with a 5-0 record. The team capped off the month with a 66-64 upset of No. 24 Santa Clara Dec. 30 in California.

K-State couldn't sustain its fire into January. The Wildcats managed a 79-67 upset of No. 19 Nebraska Jan. 13 in Bramlage Coliseum but logged a 3-5 record for the remainder of the first month in conference play.

Patterson said the youthful Wildcats had trouble coping with the grind of the Big 12.

"Sometimes it wears on you right around mid-January," she said. "You think you've got it and begin to give yourself a little more slack than maybe you should."

The team started February with consecutive wins over Colorado and No. 16 Iowa State. Then a stress fracture forced Finkes to the sidelines.

With sophomore forward Brandy Harris playing out of position and junior Olga Firsova playing increased minutes to replace Finkes, the Wildcats lost four straight games in the middle of February.

"(Harris) did everything humanly possible to help us succeed," Patterson said. "The problem was we weren't doing what we do. We had to simplify everything."

Finkes picked an ideal time to return. After playing limited minutes in a loss to Nebraska, she returned healthy for the first time to face No. 22 Kansas Feb. 27 in front of a Bramlage crowd of 8,015 — the second highest in the history of the women's

20 points and 10 rebounds against Creighton in the first round of the WNIT March 11 in Bramlage Coliseum washer fifth double-double of the season. The Big 12 named her to the honorable mention All- Big 12 team after she aver- aged 10.2 points and 5.6 re- bounds per game in her first season as a Wildcat. The transfer from Weatherford Junior College stood 6 feet, 6 inches tall and was the tallest player in K-State women's basketball history.

The Big 12 named junior cen- ter Angie Finkes, who aver- aged 12.0 points and 6.1 re- bounds per game, to the hon- orable mention All-Big 12 team. She received the honor despite missing four games in February because of a stress fracture in her leg. She re- turned with 1 1 points, six re- bounds and two steals in 17 minutes against Nebraska Feb. 24 in Lincoln, Neb. A week later she scored a ca- reer-high 28 points in K- State's 69-58 upset of No. 22 Kansas in Bramlage Coliseum.

With 2.3 seconds remaining

in the game, freshman guard Kristin Rethman knocked down a game-winning three- pointer to lead K-State to a 59-57 win against Colorado Feb. 6 in Boulder, Colo. Rethman made 5 three- pointers and scored 1 7 points in the game. She earned the Big 12 Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week honor for her performance.

team sustains injuries and beats the

program. The Wildcats proceeded to put on a show, surging to a 69-58 win in the regular- season finale. Finkes returned with a vengeance with a career-high 28 points.

"When I came back, I was ready to go full speed, because I knew we were good enough

to beat the teams we play," Finkes said. "This proves to us that we're good enough to go into the Big 12 tournament."

The Wildcats rode the momentum to a 55-51 victory over Colorado in the opening round of the tournament, then lost 74-55 in the quarterfinals to regular-season Big 12 champion Texas Tech.

Perry said the team's 7-9 record in a strong Big 12 was gratifying given the ad- verse circumstances.

"With all the ups and downs that we've had and the injuries, I feel that we've done a great job this year," she said.

Patterson said one of the contributing factors that helped the Wildcats through the season was the growing fan following, which boosted K-State to a new record of 3,210 fans per game in home attendance.

"There are a zillion X's and O's, but there's also that emotional edge you bring to the floor whenever you play at home," Patterson said. "It's phenomenal to see the support that people in the community and across our campus have been willing to show us. I just see this thing continuing to grow.

"Can we build this into a women's basketball powerhouse?" Patterson asked. "Abso- lutely."

THE PLAYERS

For the first time in her career, junior Anna Whitham earned all-America honors in the weight throw at the NCAA Championships March 6 in In- dianapolis. She finished in eighth place with a throw of 62 feet, 8 inches. Senior Renetta Seiler, who entered the com- petition ranked No. 1 in the nation, joined her with all- America honors in the weight throw placing fourth with a throw of 67 feet, 2-1/4 inches.

Senior high jumper Charles

Burney — the only represen- tative for the men's team at the NCAA Championships — improved upon his 1998 per- formance at the champion- ships, where he placed 15th inthehighjumpwithaleapof 6 feet, 10-1/4 inches. In 1999, he finished in 10th place with a jump of 7 feet, 1-1/2 inches. Burney's best leap of the season was 7 feet, 3-1/4 inches at the KSU-KU- Missouri Triangular Jan. 23 in Ahearn Field House.

The only Wildcat to set a per-

sonal record at the NCAA Championships, junior Erin Anderson, placed ninth in pole vault with a vault of 12 feet, 7-1 /2 inches. That vault set the K-State women's all- time record. Anderson was one place shy of receiving all- America honors.

■ ►The women's track team culminated its season with a fourth-place finish at the Big 12 Indoor Championships Feb. 19 and 20 in Ahearn Field House.

Senior thrower Renetta Seiler led the team with a first-place throw in weight throw and a second-place finish in shot put.

Seiler said her performance in the shot, and the competition in general, satisfied her more than her first-place performance in the weight throw. She threw a personal record of 51 feet, 3 inches in the competition.

"It was probably the best I've ever done at any meet," Seiler said. "The atmosphere was awesome. I was having an 'A' day."

Seiler said the crowd, which consisted mostly of the women throwers' families, contrib- uted to her performance.

"The crowd got excited, and that gets everyone pumped up," Seiler said. "When the crowd gets excited, it makes you try just a little bit harder."

The lack of pressure Seiler said she felt during the shot put competition didn't flow into the weight-throw competition. She entered the competition as the favorite, but she fouled her first two throws of the preliminary round. On her third and final throw, she unleashed a bomb that qualified for the finals.

"I was a little nervous. Anna (Whitham) said she wasn't nervous, and the coaches said they weren't nervous," Seiler said. "After the competition, I went up to my family and friends and said, 'Imagine how nervous you were, then multiply that by 10. That's how nervous I was.' "

The Wildcats ended up taking first and second place in the weight throw with Seiler grabbing the gold with a throw of 66 feet, 7 inches and junior Anna Whitham clinching second with a throw of 62 feet, 11-1/4 inches.

"The weight was an average performance for her," Coach Cliff Rovelto said about Seller's performance. "That shows how much better she is than the majority of her competition."

Some of the other top Wildcat performances at the Big 12 Championships included senior Darcy Morris placing second in the 600-yard run, junior Erin Anderson placing second in pole vault, sophomore Carmen Wright placing second in the pentathlon and sophomore Amanda Crouse placing third in the 1,000-meter run.

Morris credited the success to the team's hard work throughout the season after being atop the United States Track Coaches Association's power ratings.

"If you're expected to be the best, you try to live up to it," Morris said. "A lot of times, if you're not expected to be the best, you don't try as hard."

- ►Although the rankings didn't reflect it, the men's team probably had a better meet than the women's team at the Big 12 Championships, Coach Cliff Rovelto said. The women finished fourth while the men tied for fifth place in the championships.

"We hoped the women would be in the top three, and I thought the men could place as low as ninth," he said. "In terms of maximizing what our capabilities are, the men did a better job than the women did because we could have easily been ninth in the meet. There really isn't much way at all that we could have been any higher than what we did place."

Zsivoczky, junior Jason Williams and sophomore Thomas Weiler swept the first three places in the event while sophomore Justin Robinson took fifth place.

Zsivoczky won with a score of 5,702 points — the nation's highest score of the year — but he didn't match his personal record of 5,786 points.

"With the score, I was disappointed," Zsivoczky said, "but I won, so overall, I am satisfied."

Williams said the group of athletes knew they had the potential to sweep the heptathlon before the competition.

"We had the attitude that we needed to get things done," Williams said. "We knew we had the talent to sweep the heptathlon. Our coaches told us we can do it, so we went out and got it done."

Weiler said preparations before the meet led to his good performance.

"I was just ready for it," Weiler said. "Practice was good for the few weeks before the meet, and that was a good sign."

Other top Wildcat performers at the meet were Charles Burney, who placed third in high jump with 7 feet, 3 inches, and Zach Davies, who placed third in the mile run with 4 minutes, 14.29 seconds.

They were sick of stereotypes. "Ultimate Frisbee has a reputation of being a sport for the hippie, doped-up people," said T.J. Tomlin, president of the Ultimate Frisbee Club and senior in history.

"In all actuality, we are just as athletic and dedicated to our sport as any other athlete is to their sport."

Then again, they never claimed to be like other athletes.

A baseball player never called his own strike. An offensive lineman never threw his own flag after holding a defender. A basket- ball player never blew the whistle on him- self after traveling. That was the difference between the Flying Dorthys, the Ultimate Frisbee Club, and teams of more typical sports. The Flying Dorthys followed the rule known to Ultimate Frisbee players as "the spirit of the game."

"The biggest reason why the spirit of the game is so important to us is because it makes ourselves police our actions," Paul Hare, Flying Dorthys member, said. "Ulti- mate really prides itself on that key rule alone."

Club members played for more than the ability to call their own fouls. They also played for the freedom the sport offered.

"I really don't like playing organized sports like soccer. With Ultimate it is very loose and easy to pick up," Michelle Randecker, Flying Dorthys member, said. "Also, when we practice out here, there are no set teams. We just pick which side we want to play on that day and go from there."

Shawn Kokenge, Flying Dorthys mem- ber since 1992, said Ultimate Frisbee players were traditionally free spirited, but they did not lack skill. He said Ultimate Frisbee's use of a disc demanded a skill not found in most people. Players had to master throwing the disc downfield and making it hover, rise or change direction.

The Flying Dorthys put those skills to the test when they competed against other colle-

giate teams spring semester.

"The college season is a little more fun for us because we travel to a tournament in

Lawrence and some other tournaments where there is a younger, college crowd," John Pitman, fifth-year senior in architec- ture, said. "That's where we get to play against people of our own caliber."

During fall season, the Flying Dorthys competed against club teams. Pitman said the club season had the most difficult compe- tition because of the experienced players, but the Flying Dorthys still fared well at a re- gional tournament in Missouri where they placed fourth.

"We were really playing out of our league," Pitman said. "But to play Frisbee in Kansas you have to take any opportunity you can get."

AT REGIONALS

e water ski team's wave of momentum crashed short of its goa! — a national tournament berth.

Although the team captured both tourna- ment titles in the spring, team members said the meets were merely practice for the re- gional tournament, the gateway to nationals.

"There were a lot of people who were really competitive," sophomore Lisa Leath- erwood said. "We were out for blood know- ing it was a possibility going to nationals."

In preparation, the team traveled to a water ski school in Zachary, La., during spring break in 1998. Professional skiers taught the school, which heightened the team's skill level, senior Jaime Arb said.

"It was neat to learn from people who do this for a living," she said. "It would be like going to basketball camp with Michael Jor- dan if you were into that sort of thing."

Team members started the spring season by hosting the K-State Wildcat Invitational April 18 and 19 at Super Lake near Emporia, Kan. Seven members placed individually, resulting in a team title.

Seniors Kelly Klein and Dustin Manhart tied for second in slalom, but it was sopho- more Cory Huey who dominated the men's field. Huey placed 10th in trick, and first in slalom and jump, which earned him the over- all title.

"It's been my strongest year yet," Huey said. "I had a couple of personal bests. I didn't expect much, but it turned out well."

The women also turned in high scores. Leatherwood took first in slalom, Arb fin- ished second in trick, and senior Kay Lynn Summervill secured second in jump. The combined team results put the Wildcats in first ahead of KU, Iowa and Iowa State.

The team rode the wave of victory into the Mo-Kan Tournament April 25 and 26 in Lawrence. The team once again defeated the Jayhawks and placed first. Leatherwood skied another first-place run in slalom, and Arb finished second in jump and first in trick.

Team members said they had high expec- tations for the Oct. 3 and 4 Midwest Colle- giate Regional Water Ski Tournament. The expectations seemed achievable with Leath- erwood returning to defend her slalom title and the team's spring season growth.

However, those hopes began to falter

when the team saw the competition, Arb said.

"We thought we had improved a lot, but when we got there, everyone else had im- proved, too," she said. "We had kind of been in the middle of the pack, and everyone got better, and we moved into the same spot."

when the women's slalom competition be- gan. Leatherwood, the team's expected top finisher, said she became discouraged while waiting for her run.

"I was really nervous about it," she said. "The girls who skied before me had already skied better than my personal best."

Leatherwood finished seventh in the event, and Arb took seventh in trick and ninth overall, which were the highest plac- ings for the team. The team finished fifth and was again denied a shot at nationals.

Team members attributed some of the fall season's momentum loss to the lack of a jump ramp. The team's jump at Tuttle Creek Reservoir was broken, so members traveled almost 80 miles on weekends to practice.

However, temporary loss of the ramp would be a gain for future teams, Huey said.

"I always went home to Topeka to prac- tice to jump because our jump was sub-par," he said. "We all worked to build a new jump, and we upgraded it from wood to steel. It should help a lot. The last jump really hin- dered the team."

Rankings were determined by how many buoys the women completed at each rope length. Leatherwood said her rival beat her at regionals. "The girl that got second skied five at 22 off, and my best was three at 22 off," she said. "She was the one I was out to beat." (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

TO THE WALL

A matchup rivaling the likes of David and Goliath took shape in the second round of the women's intramural wallyball tourna- ment.

Christy Crow, freshman in journalism and mass communications, and Andrea Heinrich, freshman in elementary educa- tion, faced veteran volleyball players Jennie Roberts, senior in marketing and interna- tional business, and Kori Gilliland, senior in elementary education. The contest did not look promising for Crow and Heinrich from the beginning.

"I think they got a kick out of it when we said, 'How do you play?' " Crow said.

Roberts said the question told her who she and Gilliland were up against. Roberts and Gilliland not only knew how to play wallyball but had already won a champion- ship in the sport. Their titles included the 1998 women's intramural wallyball champi- onship and the 1998 women's intramural doubles volleyball championship.

"When you meet up with them and they say, 'How do you play?' you kind of know it's going to be an easy match," Roberts said. "I like to play people who challenge us a little bit."

Gilliland said the inexperience of Crow and Heinrich, who advanced to the second round because of a forfeit, both disap- pointed and amused her.

"I'm a really competitive person," Gilliland said. "I would rather play against somebody who is good than have an easy game, but yes, I thought it was funny."

The laughs stopped there. It took Roberts and Gilliland eight minutes of playing time to dispose of Crow and Heinrich 15-3, 15-5.

Roberts and Gilliland each served five aces in the first game. The ball rarely crossed over the net more than twice on any given play, and neither team communicated much more than "good serve" or "nice hit."

In the second game, both teams managed a couple of rallies, and the ball actually flew over the net more than twice per play. In the middle of the game, Crow complained about the pain induced from bumping the wallyball, which was basically a racquetball the size of a volleyball. Roberts and Gilliland

kept their game faces and won again in quick fashion.

Roberts said she was pleased with her team's performance.

"I think we played good," Roberts said. "We were still trying to get into the groove with all the angles, but once we got warmed up, we didn't make too many mis- takes."

Roberts credited the win to the amount of time they had playing volleyball and wallyball together.

"We play together really well," Roberts said. "We've been playing together so long we just kind of know what each other is going to do."

The two started playing volleyball together when they were sophomores in high school. Occasionally, they found a racquetball court to set up a wallyball game.

Gilliland said they prefered to play volleyball to wallyball, but they entered the wallyball tournament out of necessity.

"We love volleyball, and this was the only intramural volleyball going on at the time," Gilliland said, "so we decided to play in it."

Crow and Heinrich entered the tourna- ment for different reasons.

"It sounded like fun," Heinrich said. "It was also something for the house."

The two, who competed for Gamma Phi Beta sorority even though wallyball didn't count for points in intramural standings, said they didn't expect to face such a good team so early.

"We were hoping we were playing some- one who didn't know how to play either," Crow said. "They were very good."

Talking Tra

WITH HECKLING KINGS

For more than 60 minutes, K-State's most noticeable fans bombarded the KU basketball team with an endless barrage of insults and name calling.

■

That was before tip off.

A bottle of green Chloroseptic, expira- tion date September 1994, became the only relief for the incessant heckling of the lei- sure-suit clad superfans, as they liked to be called.

"We actually use it," original superfan Brad Daily, 1997 graduate, said. "We lose our voices before the game."

Brandon Bell, December 1998 graduate, and also an original superfan, said the group of friends came together to draw attention to themselves for the K-State vs. Wichita State game in 1993. The group members, known for camping out before home games, wear- ing referee shirts, standing behind the K- State bench and generally acting obnoxious, lost their voices at Wildcat home games ever since.

At the KU game Feb. 1 in Bramlage Coli- seum, each of the seven superfans in atten- dance, except Brad Kracht, wore an afro wig during the game; Kracht's afro was real.

Bell said the group wore leisure suits and afros for the KU game because they figured the rivalry demanded unusual attire.

"Each game we just ref it out," Bell said. "We do something special for the KU game. "

Kracht, junior in industrial engineering, said attention motivated the group to wear the 1970s clothes.

"Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame," Kracht, a two-year superfan, said.

And superfans said they had obtained that fame.

"Everybody here knows who we are," added Brandon Durant, first-year superfan and senior in microbiology.

The extra attention wasn't only meant for photographers and television cameras, although they received plenty of attention from both. It was also meant for KU's basket- ball team, Daily said.

"If they're paying attention to us, they're not paying attention to the game," he said.

The superfans received several looks from KU basketball players during the typi- cal pre-game tongue lashing.

"I'm sorry Nicky. That was a dirty crack," Bell yelled at KU forward Nick Bradford during the ceaseless trash talking. "Speaking of dirty cracks, how's your daddy?"

them a KU-player biography sheet.

In the superfans' five previous years of heckling, the Wildcats never defeated KU in Bramlage, but before the game, Bell made the prediction. In honor of the game's coverage on ESPN, he wrote on the dry-erase board the superfans took to all the games, "Every Superfan ref Predicts Now is the time. The streak ends."

The streak didn't end. KU handed the Wildcats a 69-46 loss.

"I'm pissed," Bell said after the game. "That's the sixth in a row for me."

Daily, a student at the KU Medical Cen- ter, said he wasn't looking forward to school the next day, where he would hear about the game from his KU-fan peers.

Although the Wildcats let Daily down again, he said he planned to return to K-State as a team doctor, but he gave one condition.

"Only if Asbury lets me wear the afro," Daily said. "I'm not really a suit and tie guy."

"The amazing thing is we do this totally sober," he said. "People swear we drink before we do this, but we don't." (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

Ayome "Paco" May made his name at K-State largely because of his versatility. At one time or another, the jack-of-all-trades filled about ev- ery role on the men's basketball team.

"Paco's had to wear a lot of hats, both as a starter and a reserve, as a point guard, shooting guard and small forward, and in the NCAA tournament as well as the NIT," assistant coach Mark Fox said. "He's been through a lot."

On Nov. 2, May put on a hat he had hoped not to wear during his career at K-State — that of an ex-basketball player.

Entering fall practice, May stood at the edge of five years of sweat and sacrifice. However, suffering from an intestinal disorder, he announced he would forgo his senior season.

"I think Paco's condition was just killing him mentally," Coach Tom Asbury said. "He told me 'Coach, I can't play with this.' "

Although his body found relief away from the basketball court, May's heart refused to leave it. Playing was painful, but May said allowing his senior season to slip through his fingers would have been too much to bear. /

After two weeks, May decided to try a new role: comeback kid.

"I just wanted to finish my last year out," May said. "I've been feeling this way a long time. I just wanted to end my senior season."

May didn't return to a storybook season. After showing early promise, the Wildcats faded down the stretch, finishing seventh in the Big 12 and out of the NCAA tournament for the third straight year.

Through the team's struggles, May kept up his hustling brand of play, Fox said.

"It certainly shows the amount of character and toughness he has to battle through (his illness) and still be able to perform both on the floor during games and in the classroom," Fox said. "He's been a real example to our younger players that when you work hard both on and off the floor, good things will happen."

Junior college transfer Cortez Groves, who led the Wildcats in scoring, credited May as one of the reasons for his successful transition to Division I basketball.

"He's been a big mentor to me," Groves said. "Coaches just yell at me, but Paco comes around and tells me how in positive ways. That's been a real motivator to me."

On a team characterized by contrasts between veterans and rookies, underachievers and overachievers, May played in the middle ground. Wildcat coaches depended on May's steady defense.

"He's been probably our best defensive player on the perimeter," Fox said. "He's been very valuable at both ends of the floor. He can recognize if he's making a mistake and sometimes correct himself. He just does what he needs to do."

Despite all of the ways May helped the basketball program on the court during his five years, Fox's fondest memories of the man nicknamed Paco were not those of basketball glories. He said he thought of the homesick freshman who grew to bear difficulties with good humor and grace.

"I think that's going to be my favorite memory: seeing where he started and the growth he's been through," Fox said. "He's a very class person, and he's been an outstanding person to be around for five years."

season characterized by missed opportunities, but team advances to big 12 semifinal round

► The men's basketball team was no stranger to dropping large leads during the season, but the team didn't stay true to form in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament against No. 22 Missouri.

It almost looked as if the team would fold against Missouri and drop a 20-point lead before its 84-74 victory March 5 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.

Senior forward Manny Dies dunked ah Ayome May fast break pass into the basket to silence a late 9-3 Tiger run and propel the Wildcats into the semifinal matchup against Kansas.

"We just wouldn't quit," May, a senior guard, said. "We weren't going to lose this game. We played well all around and stuck with it."

K-State shot 48 percent from the field and posted five players in double figures. Defensively, the Wildcats shut down the offensive-efficient Tigers by forcing them to shoot just 35 percent from the field.

With the Wildcats upsetting Missouri and putting up strong shooting percentages in the tournament, May said K-State was a different team in postseason play.

"We have a lot of confidence," he said. "We are hitting open jump shots, and we are coming to play. They played well, but we played harder and beat them."

There were times during the season when the team couldn't hold onto its lead.

The Wildcats went into the locker room at halftime with a 45-29 lead against No. 17 Indiana Nov. 23 at the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii. In the second half, Wildcats couldn't stop the Hoosiers, which outscored K-State 18-5 in the last five minutes to win 71-70.

Another missed opportunity came against No. 21 Oklahoma State Jan. 2 in Stillwater, Okla. With 11-1 /2 minutes left in the game, the Wildcats had a 14-point lead. Then, the Cowboys ripped off a 22-2 run. Trailing by six with three minutes to go, K-State bounced back, and with 20 seconds remaining, senior guard Chris Griffin forced overtime with a game-tying shot.

Oklahoma State refused to lose on its home floor as it went on to a 75-69 overtime victory.

Although the lead-relinquishing games hurt the Wildcats, they might not have hurt as bad as the team's losses to KU. For the fifth-straight year, the team failed to defeat the Jayhawks. For the 16th year, the Wildcats failed to drop KU in Manhattan.

Instead, KU put together a 22-5 run with 6:18 left in the game and forced K-State to shoot 31 percent from the floor to pummel the Wildcats 69-46 in front of the largest Bramlage crowd of the season Feb. 1.

K-State's 46 points represented the second-lowest point total of the season. The 23- point loss was the Wildcats' worst defeat at home against KU since 1990.

THE PLAYERS

Junior forward Tony Kitt, a

transfer from Colby Commu- nity College, had an immedi- ate effect as he led the team in rebounds at 7.9 boards per game. He had a 20-rebound game Dec. 1 against Loyola- Chicago, and a 19-rebound game Nov. 24 against Arizona State. He was named to the honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference team in a vote by the league's coaches.

Another transfer, junior

guard Cortez Groves from Moberly Community College, led the team in scoring with 10 points per game. He poured in 21 points against Missouri in the Wildcats 63- 70losstotheTigersJan.27in Columbia, Mo. Groves made 36 percent of his three-point attempts and 70 percent of his free throws on the season.

With the dismissal of senior guard Duane Davis due to dis- ciplinary reasons, senior guard Chris Griffin was forced to handle the bulk of the Wildcats' point guard duties. He led the team in assists with 118, steals with 32 and minutes played per game at 28.6. In the 66-51 win over Oklahoma Jan. 23, he led the team in scoring with 16 points. He also scored 13 points in the 84-74 win over Missouri in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament March 5 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.

"I want to apologize to our fans and students for that performance," Coach Tom Asbury said. "I wasn't prepared for that. We did not perform well. I have no excuses. I take full responsibility for it, because I'm the guy."

May explained the loss in simple terms.

"It's embarrassing. We didn't do anything well. We just didn't compete," May said. "KU played harder than we did. They wanted to win. It's as simple as that."

Junior guard Josh Reid said he didn't expect the team to play against KU with such little energy.

"This is probably the most disappointing loss of the year," Reid said. "We thought we were ready. We just came out flat. It's been a pretty inconsistent year, but this team is never going to say never."

After losing to KU 62-47 in Lawrence Feb. 17, the third time was almost a charm.

In the Big 12 Tournament, K-State had already knocked off two opponents, Texas A&M and Missouri, it hadn't beat in regular-season play. It almost looked as if the team was going to pull off another surprise in postseason play against KU March 6 in the semifinal of the tournament.

Instead, the Wildcats gave up a one-point lead with five minutes to go and ran out of gas down the stretch to lose to the third-seed KU 69-58 at Kemper Arena.

"I think they made all the plays down the stretch they needed to," Asbury said. "We had a chance to win, and we didn't do it. It's not a whole lot more complicated than that."

With K-State playing three games in three days, Asbury said fatigue played a role in the Wildcats' loss.

"I think we were tired in just the first 10 minutes," he said. "We lost our poise and just didn't have our legs down the stretch. Then our shots just weren't falling."

By losing in the third round of the tournament, K-State moved to 20-12 on the season and clinched a National Invitational Tournament berth against Texas Christian. TCU defeated the Wildcats 72-71 March 10 in Bramlage.

Despite the loss and the NCAA tournament denial, Asbury said he was pleased with K-State's emotional play in the tournament.

"I think we played really hard at this tournament," he said. "We came here to win this tournament, and we came up a little short."

Delta Upsilon awaited the completion of Vision 2000, a project increasing their housing capacity from 68 to 82. Like all sororities, some fraternities made the move toward eliminating alcohol in their houses. Four residence halls hired multicultural assistants as a pilot program to improve resident relations. All three looked toward improvements for the future, in preparation for the year 2000.

It was hard for people to believe Doris Compton's life story. She said she still had a hard time believing it herself.

"I know it sounds incredible and off the wall, but that's the way it happened," Compton, Alpha of Clovia's house- mother, said. "When opportunities arose, I just took them."

The opportunities took the Osborne, Kan., native over- seas. She spent time in Egypt and Venezuela teaching, direct- ing and performing in musicals, writing award-winning poetry and working with the Presbyterian Church.

Compton's travels also allowed her to meet famous people. A photo in her Clovia apartment depicted her en- counter with Charles, Prince of Wales.

"That was another one of those things that just hap- pened," Compton said. "Prince Charles was making an around-the-world tour. He landed out at the airport, and I was standing next to him and sang for him."

She experienced another chance meeting when she took her daughter, Christy, for singing lessons in Cairo. After Christy performed, the instructor asked Compton to sing and to come back next week. She then learned he was the retired director of the Bolshoi Opera Company in Moscow.

"He said, 'Madame, I must teach you all I know about opera.' For three years, he taught me," Compton said. "Heck, here I am, Osborne, Kan., studying opera with a Russian. It's inconceivable that it could have happened, but it did."

Compton attributed her experiences to being in the right place at the right time. The way she found herself at Clovia was no exception.

When the housemother job became available, Michelle

Sinn, vice president at the time, thought about Compton. Sinn had attended the Mahaska Presbyterian Church in Mahaska, Kan., where Compton was the minister.

"I knew that Doris wanted to live around Manhattan because of her daughter, but she couldn't afford to do that unless she had a job lined up," Sinn, 1998 agricultural educa- tion graduate, said. "I knew she was good with young people and would be willing to do anything for us."

Sinn's hypothesis was correct. Jennifer Kirkham, presi- dent and senior in secondary education, said Compton helped the Clovia women with anything they needed.

"She was an English teacher, so a lot of the girls take their papers to her to read," Kirkham said. "She also helps plan menus and is always there for people to talk to."

Cooking Egyptian and Venezuelan meals and sharing stories of her travels, Compton also brought a different perspective to the house, Sinn said.

"She brings a worldly aspect to the house," she said. "We like to hear the stories because many of us might not travel outside of the country."

Kirkham said Compton's life was encouraging.

"She inspires us to think beyond Kansas," Kirkham said. "She has done so much. It shows that everyone can have exciting things in their lives."

Although another opportunity arose for Compton, she said she would pass.

"I was asked to be part of the Presbyterian project in Iran, but I'm quite content to stay right here," Compton said. "It's the right thing for me at this time."

For one Manhattan 4-year-old, Santa Claus came in the form of the 34 men from Smith Scholarship House.

Two weeks before Christmas, three Smith members took more than $100 in donations to the closest thing they had to Santa's workshop — Wal-Mart. They carried a list, designat- ing the boy's most-sought present, a bike, along with several other items for the family they were paired with through Flint Hills Breadbasket.

"There were a couple of different bikes, but this one was the coolest," said C.W. Popp, vice president and sophomore in mechanical engineering. "We looked at them and thought, 'If I was a little boy, this is what I'd like.' "

The men had already been to Wal-Mart once before to scope out the bike selection. Initially, they had to ask other customers for help as they weren't sure what size bike would be best for the 4-year-old.

Popp even rode down part of an aisle on the BMX Street Rage bike.

"Don't break his bike before you give it to him," joked Lucas Dickson, president and senior in industrial engineer- ing.

Spending more than one hour in the store, the men also picked out a magazine rack and kitchen towels for the mother; a sweat suit, flannel shirt and a Hot Wheels Bronco and BMW for the boy.

"We've got to stick with Hot Wheels," Popp said during a short debate between buying Hot Wheels or Match Box cars. "Hot Wheels is where it's at."

Smith members participated in the Flint Hills Breadbas- ket Adopt a Family Program for the first time in December.

"It's always good to, when you have extra, to give back to people who aren't so well off," Popp said. "It's good for the house. For the guys in the house, it showed them that we should not be about making ourselves better off. As a schol- arship house, we should be leaders in that. My view of a leader consists of someone who is willing to serve others."

To fund the gifts, members were asked to individually contribute whatever money they could, said Adam Stover, community service chairman and sophomore in interior architecture.

"Going around and asking for donations, most people were more than willing to give something to the cause," Dickson said . "It was nice that we were able to get some of the extra things other than the bike."

Bringing the gifts to the family seemed to make Christ- mas come early, Dickson said.

"It's going to be like a whole other Christmas to see his face," Dickson said. "Just to know that we were able to help someone out gives you a warm feeling inside. Being blessed with so much, it's nice to give back."

The men delivered the gifts to the family on Dec. 17.

Popp said the mother had her son go to his room while she hid the gifts, which were not to be opened until Christ- mas. When the boy came back, he began snooping for the presents.

"It was just nice to see the appreciation on her face and the warmth that I felt from doing that for her," he said. "It's always nice to put a face with your service."

Cynthia Shanley, Smith House executive director, said she knew the family.

"It will mean a tremendous amount to them," she said. "She's a single mom raising a little boy all by herself and struggling. It's not easy. She's trying to go to school and support a family."

Shanley said the men consistently did community ser- vice projects that benefited children, but adopting a family ranked among their top three projects.

"They didn't just go into it, 'OK, we're going to do this' and give it minimal attention," Shanley said. "This has been a focused project. They've been planning this for a long time.

"They have a heart for children in this house," she said.

Smurthwaite Scholarship House members did not think they were too old to go trick or treating.

On Halloween, members went trick or treating for cans instead of candy to donate to the Flint Hills Breadbasket. Christa Heilman, Smurthwaite community service chair- woman and junior in animal science and industry, said in the project's second year, they made improvements from the first year.

"This year we got little ghost things everybody wore because last year we had a lot of people who said, 'Why are you here? Who are you again?' " Heilman said. "People thought we were homeless and begging for food. We got an identification system going, and our house director made those for us."

About 20 Smurthwaite members went trick or treating in neighborhoods north of Kimball and west of campus for an hour to an hour and a half.

Summer Stagaard, junior in elementary education, was a dead skier. She wore yellow ski pants and painted her face white. Rain and cold weather prevented members from trick or treating longer, but it gave them another opportunity, Stagaard said.

"When you trudge through the rain with somebody, you just bond," Stagaard said. "My pants were falling down because they fit wrong, and I was dragging them through the water.

"We were hovering under three umbrellas," she said. "It was a way to for us to get to know each other better."

Five to six carloads of members went trick or treating in

different areas of the same neighborhood. Irene Vanderwerff, sophomore in pre-veterinary medicine, said her group collected about 70 to 75 cans.

"We only had one lady turn us down because she'd already donated to the Breadbasket that day," Vanderwerff said. "We came across one lady who worked for the Bread- basket, and she gave us a whole bunch of stuff. Our garbage bags broke a few times, and we had to keep asking people for more garbage bags."

After members finished trick or treating, they combined their cans with those collected by Strong Complex residents, who also went trick or treating for cans.

Heilman said together they collected 614 pounds of food. Heilman said she didn't think the food would go far, but it would help.

By trick or treating, members could fulfill one of their four yearly community service project requirements, but Vanderwerff said members had fun along the way.

"First of all, we have to do community service for the house," Vanderwerff said. "Last year, I missed it since I was on phone duty. I heard it was really fun, and they gave us candy, too."

Heilman said she wanted to help the community and liked seeing others help also.

"It amazes me," Heilman said. "There are people out there who really do care. My hope is to show people that there is a need out there. I've learned there are people around here who need help, so there are people everywhere who are going to need help."

he community

Boyd Hall residents could have slept in on their day off from school Jan. 18, but they opted to wake up early to make it a day on.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, students, faculty and community members participated in several service projects in Manhattan.

"We thought it was a neat idea to encourage students to volunteer," Dana Catania, Strong Complex residence life coordinator, said. "Then we thought, 'Gee, if we encourage them, we should give them activities to do.' "

Volunteers met at Forum Hall in the K-State Student Union at 9:30 a.m. to start working at 10 a.m. for a two-hour shift. The two-hour shifts lasted throughout the day.

"There's a central clearinghouse at the Union all day long," Catania said. "The volunteers show up. They're told what they will be doing and where they're going."

Three projects were available for volunteers. Partici- pants' assignments included cleaning animal cages at Sunset Zoological Park, working at a retirement home or participat- ing in a painting project.

"They're serving at a retirement community in town," Catania said. "They'll be doing crafts, making Valentine's Day cards, playing Bingo and making cards for the people that live there to send out to their families."

The painting project was organized through the Home Project, an organization that sent volunteers to homes to do minor repairs, painting, or other maintenance-related tasks. Usually, the homeowners were unable to perform the up- keep on their own, Catania said.

Rebekka Martin, freshman in animal science, said she decided to participate in the community service project when she learned about the opportunity at a Hall Governing Board meeting.

"I think for me personally — and I think a lot of people in HGB are the same way — we were pretty involved before, and this is where we are now, so we want to be able to help out," Martin said. "We think it's a day off from school, so it's a real good opportunity to take time to do something."

At her school in Herndon, Kan., Martin said Martin Luther King Jr. Day wasn't a big deal, so this was her first year to participate in projects for the Martin Luther King Jr. observance. Martin said she would continue doing commu- nity service projects in Manhattan.

"I'll participate for the community-service aspect," she said. "I'd like to meet new people, maybe get to know a little more about the city of Manhattan — more than just right here at K-State and see what there is that needs attention."

Megan Richeson, freshman in journalism and mass com- munications, said she didn't know how many Boyd residents would participate but thought volunteering was a worthwhile activity for her.

"It's a good thing to do, and it's a way to get involved with a group and do something," Richeson said. "I want to help the community a little — basically just to feel better about doing things."

The minimal time commitment also persuaded her.

"It's only two hours out of the day," Richeson said. "I think it would be easy to do it for the next three years."

residents discuss sexual questions when

c

Seventh-floor Ford Hall residents had sex in the dark Oct. 8.

Alicia Huebner, seventh-floor resident assistant and jun- ior in mass communications, planned Sex in the Dark for her residents and Haymaker Hall's seventh-floor residents. The program was intended to heighten awareness about rela- tionships between men and women.

Participants wrote questions about sex, relationships or anything they wanted to know about the opposite sex for Huebner and Kurt Thompson, Haymaker's seventh-floor RA and junior in architecture. The RAs sat on a mattress and read the questions aloud in the dark so residents wouldn't feel intimidated to give answers, Huebner said.

"I want to inform people," she said. "It's called Sex in the Dark, but I want people to come away with more than that — maybe just a better understanding of what guys and girls are like."

Questions ranged from kissing on the first date to more intimate questions concerning sex.

"I think it will offer them something more than just the vulgar jokes about stuff like that," Huebner said. "I think that sex or relationships are really special. I think it isn't some- thing that should be given away freely. I think it's something that's sacred and holy, and I think there's also a time and a place to talk about it."

The RAs shined a flashlight on those who made vulgar or inappropriate remarks, but Tracey Boucher, freshman in business administration, said the dark made people less inhibited so residents exaggerated their answers.

"I think it would have been better if you could see who

was talking. Then I think people would be more honest," Huebner said. "I would never have imagined asking some of those questions. I think I learned more about people's morals than anything else."

Bethany Martorana, freshman in hotel and restaurant management, said the program benefited those who took it seriously.

"I liked how one girl said that guys should call in the next two days because that's something you want them to know so a girl knows to wait around or just move on," she said. "I think a lot of those questions were on a lot of people's minds."

With residents from Marlatt and Moore halls also partici- pating, about 100 people filled Ford's seventh-floor lobby. Huebner said while she would not have another opportunity to have the program, improvements could be made.

"I'd like to see it done on a smaller scale with maybe 10 to 15 people because I think in a bigger setting people are more intimidated," she said. "I think turning off the lights helped a lot."

Some of the women's questions were explicit and unex- pected, catching the men off guard, Martorana said.

"I figured the guys would be surprised," she said. "I mean we'd been anticipating this for the past three nights and saying, 'Let's ask them this,' and I don't think they expected us to ask a lot of those questions."

Overall, Huebner said she was pleased with the event.

"I think both the girls and the guys benefited a lot," she said. "I think it was a time to vent or just to be heard."

goodnow residents donate change

for big bird, good cause

Loose change added up to a residence assistant in a bird costume and a donation to a good cause.

Goodnow Hall sponsored its first penny war Oct. 5-9. Each floor had a bucket with the RAs' pictures on it. When residents put change in the buckets, positive points were added to the floor's score, and paper money subtracted points. The residence life coordinator and assistant residence life coordinator also had a bucket together.

I As an incentive for residents to

w- donate money, the RAs agreed to

wear costumes for a day if their floors won. Linda Kolkowski, fifth-floor RA, donned a bird suit when her residents accumulated | ^S^ tne most change.

» V^** 'I na<^ promised my floor that

Soft if they raised a certain amount of t «#4 ! money that I would wear it to my

classes," Kolkowski, junior in chemical engineering, said. "I took pictures of my professors to prove I went to class."

Kolkowski said she received some strange responses to her ap- pearance.

"One of my professors didn't even realize I was in the class in the outfit until he was ready to start lecture," she said. "He started talking. Then he looked up and saw me. He just started laughing."

The threat of having to wear a costume also increased participation from the RAs. Kalkowski said residence life coordinator Mike Mesner and assistant residence life coordi- nator Anita Teague "ganged up" on her at the end of the competition.

"We were losing, and Linda had just put a bunch of change in our bucket," Teague, graduate student in college student personnel, said. "So I started putting dollars in ours, and Mike put tons of change in hers."

The penny war accumulated $167.72, which the hall donated to the Community Sanctuary. The program, spon- sored by the First Congregational Church in Manhattan, provided Saturday morning daycare service for single par- ents and underprivileged families.

"Single parents are so busy that they can't always go grocery shopping," Kolkowski said. "One of the little boys was autistic, so his mother had to be with him 24 hours a day. It's a program to help them out so they get a break from the kids."

Kolkowski said the program benefited the children as well.

"Some of the kids don't have toys at home, so when they come there it is the only chance some of them get to play with toys," she said. "We thought they could use the money because they had puzzles with pieces missing and really old toys."

Alia Willingham, sixth-floor RA and senior in marketing, suggested the idea of donating to Community Sanctuary. She said some of the RAs were familiar with the program and knew the money was needed.

"Since we had been actively participating with them before, we knew the need that was there," she said. "They had some of the same toys as when I was in first grade. We were projecting to raise between $50 and $100, so we wanted to donate somewhere where that amount would really make a difference. We also wanted to keep it community based."

Community service was not the only product of the contest, Teague said.

"The whole idea was to have fun," she said. "Community service should be fun for people to do as well as helping out the community."

pranking roommates gives residents

r

dose of good clean fun

Two men in Goodnow Hall planned the attack, and what started as a harmless prank turned into a war.

"It wasn't anything too great, just a little war," said the Goodnow fourth-floor female resident, who, like other pranksters, asked that her name not be used for fear of retaliation from victims. "Some guys on the floor decided to start it by markering our doorknob with some black marker, so when we opened the door, we had black marker on our hands."

The roommates retaliated by toilet papering the men's door.

"We put three layers of toilet paper across their door," one of the women said. "When they woke up in the morning, all they could see was white."

The war continued when the men duct taped the women's door shut. The women spent 15 minutes cutting away the tape before they could enter the room. They got the last laugh when they smeared Vaseline on both sides of the men's door, making their attempt to exit, slippery and gross.

"We pulled a couple of pranks, and that was about it," one of the men said. "We threatened to get them back after they Vaselined our door, but we ended up calling a truce."

In Moore Hall, two women tried to teach friends to lock their doors.

"My friend and I had taken a hat from these boys' room, just joking around, because they left their door unlocked," the seventh-floor Moore resident said. "We were trying to teach them a lesson."

So the men stole something in return: her room key. They

stole her mattress and took it to the third floor.

"I think it was only down there for a couple of hours. I didn't even know it was gone. My roommate told me what happened," she said. "When I was getting back to my room, the boys were putting it back."

At Smurthwaite, residents formed two sneak groups. One consisted of returning residents while the other con- sisted of new residents. The two groups met secretly to discuss potential pranks and choose their victims.

"The old-member sneak group stole all the shower cur- tains, Vaselined the toilets and locked the stall doors from the inside," Marcie Mamura, of the new member sneak group and freshman in English, said. "They also turned furniture over and stole the remote control, which is a big deal. They did a bunch of little exciting things like that."

Mamura listed paybacks and school spirit as motives for pranks to be pulled and said while some people got carried away, they weren't meant to be serious.

Just for fun, the first floor was attacked in early fall. Mamura said toilet paper was strung from the ceiling, and the pranksters placed masking tape at the head and foot of each door for residents to walk into when they woke up.

"The first floor has a reputation to be the early go-to-bed kind of group," she said. "I think they were hit to let them know others were aware they existed and cared."

Pranks helped Mamura relax and have fun.

"I'm not the master mind behind the pranks," Mamura said. "Sometimes when I least expect it, it's exactly what I need to make me laugh."

new position brings diversity to

s

haymaker hall activities

Paris Rossiter, sophomore in engineering, accepted the multicultural assistant job for Haymaker Hall in August, and he said he loved every minute of it.

"I enjoy it a lot. It's a good way for me to meet people," Rossiter said. "It focuses efforts, and it's a good way to get more response when you are trying to put something to- gether. There is not much to go off since this is the pilot year. I have to come up with a lot on my own."

The Hall Governing Board and the Kansas State Univer- sity Association of Residence Halls voted a trial run of the multicultural assistant job in the residence halls. The MAs had rounds on each floor and helped residents become aware of cultural activities on campus.

Derek Jackson, assistant director of residence life, and Mike Messner, Goodnow Hall residence life coordinator, presented the idea, which ran as a pilot program in Ford, Goodnow and Haymaker halls.

"We will definitely be continuing on with those three halls next year," Messner said. "And we are most likely going to expand to additional halls."

Rossiter organized programs, including movie nights. In December, he showed "Skindeep," a movie about college students from different schools who went on a retreat to California.

"I'd heard from some people that it was a good movie," Rossiter said. "The movie was brutal about the truth. From issues of the confederate flag to racism, I thought the movie spoke about several culturally different ways of thinking."

Rossiter said he tried to focus his programming to- ward issues students discussed with him or that were present in the hall. Rossiter also spent time counseling students one on one about issues.

"I didn't get to do as many programs as I wanted to last semester," Rossiter said. "I was just getting my feet in the door, and it was over before I knew it."

Randy Allen, Goodnow's MA; Dahomey Abanishe, Ford's MA; and Rossiter had a diversity program for resident assistants at summer training. The group gave RAs advice for handling culturally sensitive issues.

Messner and Jackson developed the idea for the position from colleges across the nation. Messner said they used concepts from similar programs at Grand Valley State University and the University of Georgia.

"This is not a brand-new program. There are a fair amount of other schools that have similar programs," Messner said. "We saw there was a need for students at K-State to have a connection of what was going on on campus — someone to be a mentor and a role model."

Those interested in the MA position completed an application and two interviews. The assistant received free room and board as payment.

"My RA told me about the position, and he said I'd be good for the job," Rossiter said. "I read the description, and it was a lot of the stuff you try to do anyway, but there is not really much you can do when you are not in a position of authority."

The Royal Purple staff challenged stu- dents living in residence halls to prove they had the messiest, best decorated or most holiday-festive rooms. Judges toured rooms entered in the contest and determined the

Messiest Room: The handmade sign warned of the dangers of entering her room: "Be careful of broken loft leaning against door, and don't step on missing hamster."

Ferdoas Afani-Ruzik, junior in political science, won the Royal Purple yearbook's Residence Hall Messiest Room Contest.

A broken loft was haphazardly propped against the closet. Two animal cages sat on a shelf in Afani-Ruzik's single room in Van Zile Hall. Sammy, the chinchilla, called one his home, but the other cage was deserted.

Afani-Ruzik's pregnant hamster, Mama, had escaped and was missing for days.

"I hope she hasn't decided to nest some- where and have her babies," she said.

Mama, who ended up losing her litter, was later found. She had made a home out of Ramen noodle packages in the cupboard.

Best Decorated Room: when three

women decided to stay in the residence halls their sophomore year, they decorated to make their Putnam Hall room feel like home.

Winners of the Best Decorated Room Contest, Amanda Thurlow, sophomore in music education; Jessica Mink, sophomore in music education; and Christy Kuhn, soph- omore in family life and consumer science, said they chose Putnam so they could live in

a three-person room together.

The room included a set of bunk beds and loft. Thurlow also contributed her piano and pet hamster to the room's contents. The ham- ster cage sat on top of the piano among collector Phantom of the Opera Barbie dolls.

"It makes it more comfortable," Mink said. "It's a lot more like home. Plus, the arrangement makes the room open."

Most Holiday-Festive Room: For

Moore Hall residents Chris Kreller, fresh- man in business administration, and Blaine Younger, freshman in business administra- tion, adding Christmas cheer to their room became a competition.

"We stayed up until 2:30 or 3 a.m. two nights in a row," Kreller said.

Among the decorations, the room includ- ed a 4-foot Christmas tree, stockings and green garland with white lights. A wreath that played "We Wish You a Merry Christ- mas" hung by the door.

Down the hall, Lorisa Stucke, freshman in elementary education, had also decorated.

"Of course we are very competitive, so we thought, we've got to beat that," Kreller said, "and we bought more."

After a truce, Kreller and Younger won the Most Holiday-Festive Room Contest.

fifth-floor west residents get help from

c

"Let's take a look under the hood," was not just a pick up line for three men from Marlatt Hall.

The Marlatt residents taught four West Hall residents tips for vehicle repair and maintenance.

Tina Youssef i, one of West's fifth-floor resident assistants and senior in biology, said women's floors paired with men's floors at the beginning of fall semester. She knew the RA in Marlatt, so they paired together as brother and sister floors.

"Some of the girls on our floor had expressed interest in having a program about that," Erika Anderson, West's other fifth-floor RA and sophomore in social work, said. "So we called the president, C.J., and he said he could get some guys together."

The three men, C.J. Wadsworth, freshman in kinesiology; Charles Clay, sophomore in engineering; and Nathan Ezell, sophomore in computer engineering, met the women in the parking lot by West. Seven participants brought their ve- hicles.

"We basically went through and showed each one of them what they need to check," Ezell said. "We did that for each car. That way they knew exactly where on their vehicle stuff was. If they had any other questions, we tried to answer those."

Anderson said the men were helpful when they exam- ined their cars.

"They looked under my hood and showed me, well I already knew how to check my oil, but how to check different fluids and things like that," she said.

The men also showed the women problems specific to their cars, Diana Sjogren, sophomore in business, said.

"They told us a whole bunch of stuff about our cars, how to change the oil, what kind of stuff we had on them, like what kind of oil each one would take and the sizes of stuff like wheels," Sjogren said. "I have T-tops on my Firebird, and they told me about why it leaked because of the T-tops."

Youssefi said the men were insightful when they gave advice.

"They gave me some tips on buying wiper blades and such," Youssefi said. "I got a lot out of it. They were very knowledgeable."

Besides helping the women with their vehicles, the men also demonstrated tips on their own cars.

"One guy had a BMW, which is apparently a really rare kind," Sjogren said. "Another guy had a big-boat car, ancient car, and it was kind of cool. They were going to show us how to change a flat and stuff like that, but it was getting really cold, and it was getting really dark, so we didn't get quite that far."

While the setting sun kept them from demonstrating everything they planned, the men said they covered a lot of information.

"Whenever we were showing them, they got their heads under the hood and checked the oil if they didn't know how to. We made sure they knew how to put oil in," Ezell said. "They really got involved in it and were asking a lot of questions."

Delta George, freshman in animal science and industry, said she grew up on a farm around farm machinery. Al- though she already knew most of the information discussed by the Marlatt men, she said she enjoyed the program as a refresher course.

"For the most part, I don't know if anyone else actually learned anything," she said, "but it was good to review yourself over it."

George said recalling advice from the session would be helpful if they had car trouble.

"I thought it was really helpful," George said. "They showed us around so that if we got stranded we'd have some kind of clue how to fix it. It gave me a little confidence that if something did happen, I would have some clue of what to do."

moore hall awareness program gives

r

realistic view or aicono

Wobbling while trying to walk in a straight line, Mikaela Claymore, freshman in business, failed her sobriety test. The campus police officer informed her she would be arrested for suspicion of drunken driving.

"I couldn't see anything in front of my face," Claymore said. "I couldn't see what direction anything was."

The field sobriety test was a segment of 32 Minutes, a program about the dangers of drinking. Campus police used goggles to simulate a blood alcohol level of .2 for students to wear for the role play.

More than 300 participants gathered in the basement of Moore Hall and toured six different sites during the pro- gram, sponsored by Moore on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. While students waited for their tour to begin, a bar offered nonal- coholic drinks, a disc jockey played dance music, and stu- dents played pool.

Students toured a simulated dorm room with drinking games and binge drinking. Water, apple juice and Kool-Aid substituted for alcohol, and nonalcoholic gelatin shots were used.

"I thought it was kind of interesting," Keegan Halterman, freshman in pre-veterinary medicine, said. "I've never really done that before. I didn't know how to play them, but I could see how you can get pretty trashed."

The second room was the mock field sobriety test. Officer Gary Marshall, the housing officer, picked one student in each tour group to wear goggles and perform several sobri- ety tests. The students performed a walk and turn, where they walked toe to heel for nine steps, turned around and then repeated. They also stood on one leg while counting to 30 and picked out the largest coin from a selection of a few coins.

"It was a more real setting," Claymore said. "It wasn't someone presenting it to you. Maybe it made the others realize that it is a lot worse than you think it is."

In the bathroom, a person pretended to be unconscious

due to alcohol poisoning. Emergency Medical Service per- sonnel explained the symptoms of alcohol poisoning and what emergency measures someone should take to help the victim.

"It was very realistic," Halterman said. "They set it up so they made you think."

Another site was outside next to a totaled car from Manhattan Wrecking. A member of the tour read "Death of an Innocent," a poem about a girl who didn't drink at a party but was still killed by a drunken driver. Lisa Abfalter, freshman in elementary education, stood next to the vehicle and explained it was involved in an accident involving alcohol.

"I've had friends die in alcohol-related accidents," Abfalter said. "So I thought if I would help one person, it was worth my time to participate.

In a simulated morgue, Ginger West, junior in elemen- tary education, told about her 15-year-old friend who died in a drunken-driving accident.

Clint Randolph, freshman in pre-health professions pro- gram, played the corpse in the morgue.

"We wanted to try to open peoples' eyes and prove that people do die from alcohol and drinking and driving," Randolph said.

"It's not just a myth," he said. "Just because you read something in the newspaper, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to hit home."

At the last site, counseling was offered by University Counseling Services.

Hal Taylor, one of the program's coordinators, said the basic idea for the program came from another school.

"It was done vaguely similar at another school," Taylor, senior in pre-medicine, said. "We had that idea and built everything on that basic template.

"It was for awareness," Taylor said. "It wasn't to say don't drink but to think about the consequences."

regional aids project promotes safe sex with

r

condoms and I erature

Free condoms at Putnam Hall's front desk served as a safe-sex reminder fall semester.

Putnam was one of eight residence halls to allow the Regional AIDS Project to distribute condoms.

"There are people who think that we're promoting sex before marriage," said Tara Hull, Kansas State University Association of Residence Halls representative and Putnam community assistant. "It's all about education. There's a ton of information there."

Hull, sophomore in pre-law, philosophy and political science, first learned about the condoms at a KSUARH meeting early in the semester.

Nick Lander, KSUARH president and sophomore in statistics, said KSUARH allowed individual hall governing boards to decide if they wanted the free condoms because they were a controversial issue. Then Putnam HGB allowed the community assistants to decide.

The multicolored LifeStyles' condoms filled a fish bowl on the left corner of Putnam's front desk. While other halls chose to move the condoms to an indiscrete location, Putnam's bowl remained visible except for one day.

"We took them down on Halloween," she said, "because we didn't want some kid stretching their hand in there thinking they were candy."

Some residents didn't like the condoms' visible location.

"I kind of didn't like the image that it was presenting," Stephanie Larson, HGB secretary and senior in psychology and elementary education, said. "I didn't feel like it was appropriate. I knew if I came as a visitor, I would feel

uncomfortable about wanting to move in.

HGB received positive and negative comments in its suggestion box about the condom distribution. But at a meeting to discuss the issue, Hull said only positive com- ments came out.

The Regional AIDS Project paired the condoms with literature about abstinence and AIDS' effects on men and women.

"People just think it's a great idea that it's educating people," she said. "Instead of being a problem, it's part of the solution."

The condom bowl was refilled weekly and empty before the week was over. At all the halls combined, Eunice Dorst, executive director of the Regional AIDS Project, estimated more than 1,000 condoms were handed out.

Hull said condoms were used for more than just safe sex. She attributed the condom bowl emptying quickly during finals' week to residents wearing them on their heads for fun.

"There's always people who go by and take 80," Hull said, "so I don't know if they're just trying to be funny."

Hull and Lander said they wanted to continue to work with the Regional AIDS Project to keep condoms at the front desks as long as residents supported it. However, the Re- gional AIDS Project only had enough money to fund the condom bowls for one semester, Dorst said.

She said they hoped the semester of literature and condoms was enough time to educate students to be safe.

"It was very expensive to do this," she said, "and we don't have money to continue to fund this."

Van Zile Hall claimed its fifth title as Homecoming winner in the residence hall division.

"It was kind of cool that we won again," Elizabeth Gunn, sophomore in secondary education, said. "I'm a big tradition person, and we set a standard to live up to."

During the week of Oct. 1 9-23, Strong Complex, with Van Zile, Boyd and Putnam halls, won for the fifth-straight year. "Everyone was so tired so we really didn't celebrate," Miranda Hinrikus, sophomore in elementary education, said. "Everyone had stayed up so late that week working on the float. When we found out, we just wanted to take a nap."

Despite the exhaustion, the extra effort had a reward, Jeff Weiss, president and junior in computer science, said.

"We have several people who have lived in the hall for three or fours years," Weiss said. "To see their reaction was worth it."

To maintain their winning streak, the hall governing board and residents made Homecoming a priority.

"We actually prepared fairly early for the idea of the float," Weiss said. "The actual construction of the float didn't start until two weeks before. We had won in the four years previously, and that carries a lot of pride. In order to win again, we knew we had to start early."

The enthusiasm carried over to the residents, Nick Tomasich, junior in management information systems, said.

"It seems like Van Zile and Strong Complex really take pride in the Homecoming float and all the other Homecom- ing festivities," he said.

The hall also participated in the Spirit Banner competi-

tion, Pant the Chant, Paint it Purple and Crazy Cat Kickoff.

But, out of all the Homecoming activities, the float build- ing received the most enthusiasm from students, Weiss said.

"We had the greatest amount of participation working on the float," Weiss said. "Whether it was pomping the float or riding on it, there was a tremendous amount of participation from residents with that."

The winning float, Willie the Wildcat fishing for an Iowa State Cyclone from a purple and white boat, used paper mache, tissue-paper and chicken wire.

Obtaining supplies to create the float wasn't a problem, Hinrikus said.

"We had a lot leftover from last year. It didn't cost too much,"he said. "I know we were way under our limit."

During the two weeks the hall constructed the float, anyone could pomp, glue or paint, Hinrikus said.

"Random people worked on it throughout the day," she said. "It was hours and hours we spent out there on the basketball courts in front of the three residence halls."

The hardest part of the Homecoming preparation wasn't constructing the float, Weiss said.

"The most difficult thing was coordinating everyone's schedules for activities," Weiss said. "They had other activi- ties, and classes especially. It was very difficult to get to- gether to meet and get things done."

Despite the difficulties involved this year, the goal for next year would be the same as the last four years, Weiss said.

"I think Strong Complex will be expected to win since we have so often in the past," he said.

Before the start of her freshman year, she had traveled to more than eight countries and experienced cultures many only saw on television.

Wendy Jasper, freshman in family studies and human development, took her time before permanently committing to collegiate life and living in a residence hall.

In 1992, Jasper graduated from Burlington High School, Burlington, Kan., unsure of her future. She attended college but dropped out shortly after the semester began.

"I didn't really want to pay the money to go school," Jasper said, "especially when I didn't know what I wanted to do."

Jasper worked at a discount store, a tanning salon and a restaurant. At the end of two years and 8 months, Jasper said she had her fill of part-time jobs.

"I was sick of going nowhere," Jasper said. "My mom kept nagging me about what I was going to do with my life."

She visited the Air Force recruiter, but no one was in the office, so she talked with the Navy recruiter across the hall. Eventually, she visited each office of the armed forces before enlisting in the Navy as an Aviation Ordinance Airman.

"I chose the job as airman so I could be in the shortest amount of time, retire and receive money for school," Jasper said. "I knew I didn't want to be enlisted for life."

Jasper entered boot camp in the Chicago /Great Lakes area in January 1995, three weeks before she turned 21.

"I loved boot camp," she said. "I was from a small town, and it was neat to meet people from all over the world. I loved all the competition and the overall challenge."

Jasper completed basic training and moved to Bremerton, Wash., for her station on the USS Nimitz.

"I was excited when I was stationed in Washington," Jasper said. "I was also a bit concerned because I would be on a ship, but everyone assured me that it had been docked forever, and I wouldn't go to sea."

Despite the reassurances, the Nimitz went to sea.

In March 1996, the Nimitz traveled to the South China Sea for the conflict between China and Taiwan. Jasper said the ship was prepared for the conflict but never went to war.

"The conflict wasn't really big, but it was on the news," she said. "I was excited. All the training I had received would be put to use."

In November 1997, Jasper traveled to the Persian Gulf.

"We were there just in case Sadaam Hussein would do anything bad," she said. "We were prepared but didn't have to fight."

Jasper spent three years and four months on the ship. She also traveled to Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.

After being honorably discharged from the Navy, she returned to college becoming one of the 3,338 K-State fresh- men in fall 1998. The Navy gave Jasper direction, motivation and the persistence for academic success, she said.

"The hardest thing for me is studying so many things," she said. "I was used to studying one thing and mastering it so we wouldn't die, but I have learned to motivate myself and am up to the challenge."

The Navy helped pay for her tuition and her home in West Hall.

While other freshmen were concerned with lack of space, Jasper found her nearly 16-feet-by-12-feet room spacious considering she lived out of a locker on the Nimitz.

At 24, Jasper got involved with other students. She par- ticipated in intramural volleyball and worked at the Medicine Shoppe for extra money.

Jasper's experiences in the Navy gave her knowledge, direction and appreciation for her life as a college student.

"I have come to appreciate the military and what I have a lot more," Jasper said. "I am living in a dorm room, and you don't know how much I appreciate that. People around the world are a lot worse off. I've seen it. I know I could be in a worse situation."

changes and eliminations made to

homecoming festivities __J

The All-University Homecoming Committee made changes to the Oct. 19-23 Homecoming schedule, breaking tradition and evoking controversy.

The committee discontinued Paint It Purple, a commu- nity service project, from its list of competitions. The event was canceled after the committee received complaints from the Riley County United Way, the project's main organizer.

"The event was not being treated as it should have," said Mary Seltzer, a voting member of the committee and junior in journalism and mass communications. "The participation was not there. It seemed everyone had their own agenda and didn't want to participate in the service project."

The committee removed Paint It Purple after Homecom- ing chair members from greek houses discussed and voted 10-1 on the issue. Although the event was canceled, some groups had already completed their service projects.

"It was disappointing that they had to cancel Paint It Purple because so many people didn't take it seriously," said Jenni Latzke, junior in agricultural journalism and Sigma Kappa sorority member. "It would have been nice to have those points for Homecoming, but really I was just happy that our house got out there and helped someone in the community."

Seltzer said Greek Affairs donated $1,000 to the United Way as an apology. The group put the money toward projects the greek community would have completed. The committee planned to revise and improve the project by

giving each pairing more control over the service projects in the future.

Delta Chi, along with Homecoming partners Alpha Gamma Rho and Kappa Alpha Theta, voted to keep the Paint It Purple project.

"I think the timing was all wrong. I didn't think the event should have been canceled in the middle of Homecoming week," said Mike Sarow, Delta Chi president and senior in civil engineering. "The initial response of the guys in the house was not good."

The body building competition was also reevaluated after injuries, including a ruptured spleen and broken bones at practices. The committee required additional spotters.

In a less controversial change, the Homecoming parade occurred Friday, Oct. 23 rather than Saturday morning.

"We thought it would be an opportunity for more people," Seltzer said. "More members of the community would be willing to come out on a Friday afternoon on their way home from work or even come out of their businesses along Poyntz Avenue to check out the parade."

Despite changes, Cade Keenan, Interfraternity Council president and senior in industrial engineering, said parts of Homecoming still followed tradition, and the week brought out spirit in Wildcat fans.

"Homecoming is not a perfect week," Keenan said. "Any changes we made were made based on how Homecoming went in 1997. The changes were only for the better."

Acacia fraternity members remembered the ancient Egyptians by playing in the water.

The fraternity, which took its symbols and traditions from ancient Egypt, celebrated its Night on the Nile party Sept. 11.

Two weeks before the party, the men went to work. Filling sandbags with about 30 tons of sand, they built a 24- foot wide pool at the bottom of the hill in their front yard. The men ran 100 feet of tarp down the hill to form a giant waterslide, ending at the pool. Acacia's new members used the three days of work to become acquainted with each other.

"it was a nice way to get out there and BS with the guys that you were going to be around," Mike Stofiel, freshman in environmental design, said. "It was an easy way to sit there and talk."

The slide represented the Nile River. During the two weeks before the party, the men used the slide as a way to cool off and have fun after classes.

The Thursday night before the Night of the Nile party, the Acacias had a brotherhood night, spending the evening away from other friends and girlfriends.

"We just get here at the house and finish the last details," Jason Archer, president and junior in finance, said. "Every- body stays here and has a good time, and we all go down the slide."

The men dressed in Egyptian robes and sandles, and decorated the house with pyramids and Egyptian writing. The men escorted their dates to dinner at Lucky BrewGrille before returning to the house for the party.

The next night, the Acacias sponsored an invitation party to allow others the opportunity to try the slide. The men invited a disc jockey and catered the event. They also charged $5 at the door, donating the proceeds to charitiy.

Ryan Feeley, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said people often came by and went down the slide.

"We have people jog by the house and go down it," he said. "The Pikes came up quite a bit."

Archer said they also liked to invite friends over.

"It's purely for fun," he said. "The G Phis came over once. We just have fun with it, because that's what it's there for."

The magnitude the slide had for attracting people sur- prised many of the freshmen, Stofiel said.

"I had invited a bunch of my friends from different classes," he said. "The whole front yard was packed. I'm not incredibly sociable, but I was out there, and I was having a great time. It was a blast."

The men dismantled the pool two weeks later and do- nated the sand to other fraternities, grade schools and Riley County Hazardous Waste.

"It takes a lot to clean up," Archer said. "The sandbags have been there for a month, and they're wet and heavy."

The men worked on tearing down the pool for two weekends, deciding not to tackle the job during weekdays. When the cleanup was over, all the Acacias could think about was doing it all over again, Archer said.

"It's supposed to be every other year in the fall semester," he said, "but we've been doing it every year because it's so much fun."

alpha chi omega says goodbye to

c

'■ 0

Alpha Chi Omega said goodbye to a cherished member and housemother when Edna Rush retired after working for the sorority for 15 years.

In 1991, members petitioned the National Chapter for permission to initiate Rush into the sorority. Their request was approved, and in a ceremony before family and friends, Rush became a new member.

"I had no idea the girls were even planning this. It was a big thrill and surprise," Rush said. "I have thoroughly en- joyed being an Alpha Chi."

Rush began working with the greek system when she cooked for Pi Beta Phi sorority. She said sorority members treated each other well, and their housemother was espe- cially welcoming and cordial to her. She decided when she did not need to take care of her family, she wanted to be a housemother.

After cooking for the Pi Phi's, she owned and managed the Wareham Coffee Shop in Manhattan. While she owned the restaurant, she learned of an opening at Alpha Chi for a temporary housemother. She interviewed on a Saturday, and they called her back the following Monday offering her the job.

She closed her business on Dec. 31, 1983 to become the Alpha Chi housemother.

"She's been here so much longer than any of us. She knows everything," said Lindsay Roy, president and senior in journalism and mass communications. "She knows when to step in and when to step out. She always knows how to handle things."

A

The girls planned to shower Rush with gifts and cards of appreciation before she left. To let her know how thankful they were for her commitment, they planned to invite alumni from Rush's years as housemother to share in the festivities.

"I'll miss Mom, and I've only been here for two years. She has created a legacy," Bre Miller, sophomore in elementary education, said. "It's so neat to be able to hear about what the house was like in the early '80s."

Rush made a tradition of crocheting afghans and quilts for chapter members who got engaged. She also gave special graduation gifts to women with whom she became espe- cially close.

"Mom is so caring. Lots of girls went to her with their problems," Roy said. "She went above and beyond the normal duties and did so much more."

Rush not only acknowledged the bond with the girls in the house but the ties built between all the K-State house- mothers.

"I've made so many friends through Alpha Chi," Rush said. "The moms and I love to go out together. We will always stay in touch. We have so much fun together."

In her retirement, Rush planned on volunteering at a senior center. She wanted to help bring fun into the lives of the elderly.

"I'll miss all the girls. There's no doubt about that. I love spending time with young people. They're so entertaining and sweet," Rush said. "Being a housemother has kept my ideas young. It's probably kept me young, too."

honoring academics among members,

6 ifv.

\

o

Alpha Delta Pi members got more than just a pat on the back in recognition of their academic achievements.

ADPi started an academic honorary to recognize initi- ated chapter members for their academic success. Members with a 3. 14 grade point average or better received certificates, and members with a 3.5 GPA or better received pearls to wear on their pledge pins.

"We've always had a scholarship dinner," said Amy Sell, scholarship chair and senior in horticulture therapy. "I wanted something a little more special."

The ceremony took place Oct. 15 at the house. Initiated members, as well as advisers, attended a dinner and recep- tion.

While it was the first year for the honorary, getting good grades was nothing new for the sorority. For the second year in a row, ADPi ranked second among the university's sorori- ties in chapter GPAs.

"We do well," Sell said. "I wanted a way to recognize everyone's efforts."

The national organization of ADPi started the honorary in 1979. Sell said she started it within the K-State chapter to emphasize the importance of getting good grades.

"A lot of times we get wrapped up in homecoming, date parties and everything," she said. "These are all very impor- tant, but sometimes we lose focus of why we are here."

Tiffany Grams, sophomore in bakery science who helped coordinate the reception, received a pearl at the ceremony.

"It's always nice to be recognized. It's nice to be noticed," Grams said. "Every time you put on your pin, people notice. It kind of motivates you to work hard."

All new members received certificates in recognition of their academic efforts.

Jessica Beal, freshman in dietetics, also helped with the reception. She said ADPi encouraged academic excellence among its members in other ways as well.

"We have a lot of study hours," Beal said. "We moan and complain about them, but they gave me the motivation to get my act together."

She said the honorary encouraged her to keep her grades up.

"When you get recognized, you want to keep up that recognition," Beal said. "You don't want to fall below be- cause you know how far you can go, and this is just a visual reminder."

for 60 years, date party has chapter

K

keeping tra

Alpha Gamma Rho members carried on tradition by growing beards.

In preparation for their 60th annual Rouletter date party, members grew facial hair.

Rouletter, a western-style party, took place Oct. 9 in Alta Vista, Kan., and gave AGRs a chance to celebrate a chapter tradition.

"It's a tradition to get down to the rugged with boots and everything," Jason Grady, president and senior in pre-vet- erinary medicine, said. "Some of the guys, those who can, grow out their beards."

For most AGRs, dressing in western wear required little change from their normal attire since most members hailed from agricultural areas, Grady said.

No other AGR chapter had a traditional date party.

"It's a time when all the guys relax and celebrate the common bond of agriculture," Grady said. "It's what sepa- rates us from other houses."

The Rouletter tradition started with the annual publish- ing of a poem of memories. The poem, written by in-house seniors, compiled things of importance to the men, Grady said. The poem basically remained the same over the years and appeared in the Collegian the Friday before the party, he said.

Although only seniors participated in some AGR activi- ties, the party promoted brotherhood among new and old members, Jesse McCurry, junior in agricultural journalism, said.

"We pump it up to our new members," McCurry said. "It happens at a time when we're all ready to kick back."

AGRs traveled 30 miles on a rented school bus to a country farm for the party.

Along the way, the members sang original songs and chants about each other. The AGRs wrote the songs geared at creating humor and promoting togetherness, McCurry said.

Although the party promoted brotherhood, the women present did not feel left out, Wendee Burch, sophomore in agricultural economics, said.

"The songs were easy to catch onto," Burch said. "They reminded me of camp songs."

Singing on a bus, or even riding one for that matter, had not always been a part of Rouletter tradition. In the mid- 1970s, Rouletter, although still a western-style date party, took place in the basement of the fraternity house, Tom Dill, AGR alumnus, said. Dill said the members played card games, as well as danced.

Dancing remained a part of Rouletter, but members no longer played card games, Grady said.

After arriving at the barn for the party, members engaged in another Rouletter tradition. New members participated in a skit, in which they made fun of their big brothers — upperclassmen who were paired with new members at pledging.

"Overall it stays the same," said McCurry, "But each one has memories."

ato members carry on their chapter's

dm ■ | ■ - ■ \

-winning trad ;

The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity members thought they had the best chapter in the nation, and on Aug. 15, they received the trophy to prove it.

Twenty-three chapter members traveled to Orlando for the fraternity's 73rd Congress, where they became the first- time winners of the Top Chapter Award. Chapter adviser Bill Muir said the award, which honored the top chapter out of 154 in the nation, was created to distinguish excellence.

"That's starting to be a trend in most places that they want to recognize the best," he said. "It's a good idea to recognize who is No. 1 in your organization. Our chapter was not first in everything, but it was so high in all areas that it was ahead in the judging."

Gabe Graham, 1998 president, accepted the award from the national president. Rob Bensman, president and junior in finance, said the award rewarded the members' hard work.

In order to become a candidate for the Top Chapter Award, a chapter had to first receive the True Merit Award, which recognized excellence in chapter programming, scholarship, leadership, service and achievement. The na- tional board and its officers judged the chapters using their annual reports for reference.

John Gooch, 1998 vice president and senior in civil engi- neering, said although members had individual pursuits, the awards reflected the entire house.

"We have a very strong brotherhood here," he said. "Everybody is diverse, but we all pull together for the little stuff, and that makes us a complete chapter."

Although it was the 19th time the chapter had won the

True Merit Award in 30 years, Muir said the Top Chapter Award was a surprise.

"Everybody was absolutely ecstatic," he said. "They had a good idea they were in the running, but nobody knew for sure, not even me. We got a 20-inch trophy that is beautiful. "

The national board also recognized the chapter's excel- lence in communications with the Anderson Gold Award. Bensman said the chapter's alumni publication, Vintage, was the influencing factor behind the award.

"It's head and shoulders above everyone else's," he said. "It's full color and on glossy paper. It's like a real magazine."

Along with chapter awards, individuals also received honors. Bensman, who was the National At-Large Recipient of the ATO Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship of $2,000, said the chapter's tradition pushed members to excel.

"When you get elected to an office here, you can't even think about putting in 50 percent because you know the guy before you put in 100 percent," he said. "It's kind of like a contagious effort in the house."

Gooch agreed the chapter's history fostered success.

"It is kind of a precedent," he said. "It's a lot to live up to. Everyone wants to be the best on campus and in the nation, so we keep getting better."

The trophies and plaques were nice but not the most important things to the members, Bensman said.

"Brotherhood was something I thought was just a cliche before I got here," he said. "But it's those kinds of intangible things that are important around here. It's about having pride and honor."

become a wish granter

a

Losing her brother a week before she went to college influenced her decision to become a Make-a-Wish Founda- tion wish granter.

"Bad things that have happened to me have made me believe that they happen for a reason," Sara Kountz, Alpha Xi Delta member and sophomore in pre-health professions program, said. "I truly believe the reason they happen is for a good thing to come out of it. I'm supposed to use my experiences to help other people."

Kountz became a wish granter for the non-profit organi- zation after the Alpha Epsilon Delta pre-medicine honorary club offered the opportunity to its members.

"It interested me," Kountz said. "My brother was older. He couldn't have done this because it's only for up to 18- year-olds, just with cancer patients or with children or people with illnesses that will make them not be able to reach their 18th birthday. I got experienced and interested in it."

Charlie Matteson, senior in microbiology and AED trea- surer, opened the door for Kountz to be a wish granter when he spoke at a meeting about how Make-a-Wish began.

"There was a little boy who was terminally ill," Matteson said. "He had a dream of being a police officer, but he wasn't going to live that long. So the policemen got together, and they made him an honorary policeman for a day.

"Some of the police officers liked it so much, and it gave them so much satisfaction that they founded the Make-a- Wish Foundation," he said. "The purpose of the organiza- tion is to grant wishes for children who are terminally ill."

Matteson said if a child or family member contacted the

Kansas office in Wichita, they would be assigned a wish granter.

"The wish granters will go out and meet the child and the parents, and get an idea of what they might want to do," Matteson said. "Then, as a wish granter, it's your job to make the wish come true."

Matteson said on a wish granter's first wish, they would be paired with someone who's experienced granting wishes. Kountz said she had yet to grant a wish.

"There's probably not enough wish children, which is a good thing, for everybody to do a wish," Matteson said. "It's kind of random. When I first became a wish granter, there were four. Then we really haven't had any since then, like over a year. But that could change."

Kountz planned to get Alpha Xis involved in fulfilling a child's wish through her philanthropy chairmanship.

"I want to do a wish and be able to do the celebration at the Alpha Xi house and get everybody involved and have donations through us and stuff like that," Kountz said. "I want to make a big old fanfare."

Alpha Xi women looked forward to the opportunity for Kountz to grant a wish. At chapter meetings, she kept them informed on what she had done, Katie Teply, president and junior in journalism and mass communications, said.

"I think she's a great representative of our house," Teply said. "And the fact that she has personal ties really helps. She can give us feelings from both sides. She's been on the side of a terminal illness of a close family member, and now she's trying to alleviate that pain for others."

beta sigs put increased interest in

ttle sister involvement

In an effort to recruit new Little Sisters, Beta Sigma Psi fraternity members strapped eggs to their heads with pantyhose.

In a modified game of chicken for the Messy Olympics, potential Little Sisters sat on Beta Sig members' shoulders and used rolled newspapers to break the eggs on other players' heads.

"They were really messy this year," Timothy Deines, president and sophomore in pre-veterinary medicine, said. "Usually we have them on our basketball court, but it was raining that day. So they were moved into the dining room.

"The messiest is the oatmeal relay. You have a bowl of oatmeal at one end and another bowl at the other end. Whoever fills their bowl first wins, but it usually ends in an oatmeal fight," he said. "We spent a long time cleaning up the dining room."

Girls interested in participating in Little Sisters signed up at the Activities Carnival Aug. 30. About 25 girls signed up compared to 12 in 1997, Tiffany VanAusdale, Little Sister president, said.

VanAusdale, sophomore in elementary education, said the number improved due to increased interest in maintain- ing the organization.

"I think the guys are a lot more involved this year/' VanAusdale said. "The girls involved last year came back and wanted to see more girls involved."

Aaron Ricker, Little Sister president for the Beta Sigs and sophomore in business, said fraternity members became more active in recruiting Little Sisters.

"Early in the fall, we're more active," he said. "We get out there, and we're more visible."

Deines attributed the increase in members to Beta Sigs and Little Sisters putting more time and effort into the organization.

"A big part is our older Little Sises put in a lot of hard work," Deines said. "A lot of older Little Sises are in sorori- ties, and they recruit there."

Each Little Sister began as an associate Little Sister with a Big Brother in the fraternity. Each pair had to spend time together at the house, either studying or hanging out. Once that requirement was met, the associate Little Sister became an active Little Sister.

"As a big brother, we need to keep the Little Sister involved," Deines said. "When it's their birthday, you get them a card. If they need help in school, you help them out and vice versa."

Associate Little Sisters became active at the fraternity's Valentine's Day formal.

The Little Sisters were also invited to the house for a holiday celebration.

"We put on a Christmas formal," Deines said. "We invite them over, buy them presents, and they usually stuff stock- ings for us."

The Beta Sigs were one of only two fraternities that had Little Sisters, making for a unique relationship.

"It's just a good way for girls to associate with the guys in the house," Ricker said. "It is the same way for the guys to get to know people outside of the house."

through changes and adjustments,

r

bete >tur

Beta Theta Pi members worked to overcome mistakes and rebuild some aspects of their organization.

After the university put the house on probation for a hazing and risk management violation in 1996, Betas worked on their internal makeup by increasing involvement, adding offices and changing their new member education system.

"It's been an ongoing process," Rich Wilson, 1998 presi- dent and senior in landscape architecture, said. "Things have been changing little by little."

Because of the changes, the Betas received several awards at their national convention Aug. 6, including the second highest award given to a chapter. The Sisson Award re- quired the fraternity to participate in a community service project and to maintain a grade point average higher than the campus fraternity average for the year.

"Going dry and our house renovations have kind of changed the way the house is," Wilson said. "We've done a lot, and this was kind of the capstone."

The Betas also received the Campus Involvement Award, which required each fraternity member to be in- volved in at least one campus activity. As the first campus involvement coordinator, Ben Hemmen, sophomore in busi- ness administration, looked for involvement opportunities that matched members' personalities and talents.

"It promotes getting involved, and we all need to get involved," Hemmen said. "But it also promotes brother- hood. If I can approach a guy and say, 'Hey, you'd be good at this position,' it gives them the confidence that they might not otherwise have had."

Hemmen said finding activities provided members with opportunities they may not have found on their own.

"It was created because the fraternity wanted to recog- nize students," Hemmen said. "There were some guys who were shy, especially freshmen, and they didn't know how to get involved."

Although the probation officially expired in the fall, Greek Affairs needed to review the case before the probation could be lifted, Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, said.

After going dry, Betas changed their new member educa- tion system, requiring new members to have a minimum GPA of 2.5 and be involved in campus and the fraternity.

"They need to do things that are important to the house," Wilson said. "All of these things are things we like them to keep doing as initiated members of the house."

The system changed attitudes of both new members and active members, Wilson said.

"It's become more of an attitude of the house becoming a stepping stone to the rest of your life," Wilson said.

Wilson said grades also became a bigger emphasis.

"We stress the importance of keeping up with studies," he said. "Whatever aspect they're involved with, they need to do their best."

The fraternity worked to change its image and the stereo- type of fraternities, Hemmen said.

"You hear all the bad things about fraternities and sorori- ties. There's so many good things about them that don't get exposed," Hemmen said. "I guess this shows that you can take something bad and make it good."

to improve organization of house

chi os add new o

Chi Omega sorority developed the Cardinal Cabinet to be more organized and to get members to step up to the challenge of leadership.

Cassie Wingert, secretary and senior in journalism and mass communications, said their national headquarters formed the cabinet to create more leadership opportunities in chapters. The cabinet also lessened responsibilities and stress of existing house committees and got all members more involved.

"We really did not have a choice. They told us what we had to do, and we did it," Wingert said. "I think it has really helped out with getting girls involved in the house. Girls who would not usually volunteer to do things are stepping up. There are a lot more leaders in the house."

The cabinet was on a trial run in the 1998 spring semester, and the Chi Os officially installed the cabinet in the fall.

"There was a huge difference this year," Kylie Montague, community service director and junior in industrial engi- neering, said. "We used to have sub committees. Basically, the committee heads did all the work. Now with the cabinet, we have actual meetings twice a month, and so that way it's a lot more delegation, and the house does things instead of individuals."

The cabinet consisted of five committees: career and personal development, community service, personnel and sisterhood, social /friendship, and scholarship. Each com- mittee had a director in charge of delegating and organizing projects and events.

"My roommate had a lot to do with getting me involved with the cabinet," said Shauna Davis, career and personal development director and junior in journalism and mass communications. "My roommate happened to be my pledge mom. I was persuaded into applying for a position, but I am glad I did it."

Members of the sorority who wanted to be involved with the cabinet completed an application by ranking committee preferences. The house executive board then reviewed the applications and chose five directors and 10-20 members to work for each committee. The cabinet received new leaders each semester.

"There were a lot of applications for the cabinet," Kelsey Dodson, president and senior in elementary education, said. "It was hard picking people for each committee because five

girls would put down the same thing for their first choice. Coming down to that was tough. Everyone wanted to be so involved, and knowing someone would walk away without a position made it harder."

As a part of her job description as career and personal development director, Davis gave members tips on resume building. She also recognized members at chapter meetings each week for success in careers and life beyond college.

"I recognized people from our house with little gifts. If someone got a job, an interview or an internship or got accepted into other schools, they would be recognized," Davis said. "My job also went with recognizing people outside college life, like those who got engaged."

Members completed two service projects each semester for the community service part of the cabinet. Montague organized eight projects for members. Projects ranged from helping children after school at the Ogden Friendship House to working during Thanksgiving at the Flint Hills Breadbas- ket. The group also adopted the five campus parking lots as a part of Parking Services Adopt- A-Lot program.

"I would stand up in general meeting and say, 'These are the projects we have right now,' and let them sign up," Montague said. "I would check girls off each time they worked and after two, they were done. They had a choice of which project to do, but they had to complete it on the assigned day. It was challenging to get enough community service projects for all 150 girls."

Montague said the cabinet helped to better organize event planning and delegate jobs.

"We have had a lot of events going on. We helped organize Pledge Games and Dad's weekend in November," she said. "These events took a lot of work, and because of the cabinet, the jobs were delegated, and the planning process was more organized and less stressful than in past years."

Each committee helped members get involved with dif- ferent areas in the house and develop leadership skills.

"I like the position. It is a job where you have to be organized because you are taking on a big role with the house," Davis said. "It may happen that you have people on your committee working for you who are actually older than you. It is a job where you have to take a role and not be intimidated by others. You have to step in and do the best you can."

after house renovations are completed,

r

delta chis mo

After seven homeless years, Delta Chi members found a place of their own at 508 Sunset.

Members had searched for a house since their chapter was resurrected in 1992. Since then, they had lived in the Tatarrax and Royal Tower apartment complexes, but during the summer, members began moving into their new home, the former Phi Delta Theta fraternity house.

"We had to make the place livable," said Les Kuhlman, sophomore in agronomy and new member during the tran- sition into group living. "We did most of the improvements ourselves, using contractors only to fix formal parts of the house."

Kuhlman said he was happy to be in the house, and it was beneficial to the members.

"I love it," he said. "A house makes us so much stronger. We can live together now instead of being all over the place. It has really strengthened our house and given us some insight into what brotherhood is all about."

Kuhlman said to make the new arrangement work, it was imperative to recruit large numbers to fill the house to capacity.

"We have no base of money from alumni," Kuhlman said. "Our minimum is 54. If we don't fill the house, we lose money."

Tony McClain, rush chairman and senior in political science, helped bring in a new class of 22. Sixteen of the new members lived in the house, bringing in-house membership to 54.

Delta Chi's success in rushing prospective men came from being and selling who they truthfully were, McClain said.

"A lot of times you can tell when someone is putting on a front," McClain said. "Our guys know we are not that way because we become friends with them before considering them a rushee.

"As rush chairman, I got to show them the house, but it

was under construction all summer," he said, "so they never saw how it was actually going to look until they came up for school."

McClain said having a house would make recruiting easier.

"It will help out rush tremendously," he said. "Before, we had to work much harder to sell our brotherhood and where we were going in the future. We have been successful, but it was always hard to sell something you can only experience by already being a part of it."

As in previous years, members also used their involve- ment on campus as an opportunity to promote their brother- hood to prospective members, Gayle Spencer, housemother, said.

"We live together. We work together. We have offices together," Spencer, also coordinator at the Office of Student Activities and Services, said.

Living together was a plus for the house, although the men had to adjust to the change.

"A bunch of people wouldn't move in when these guys did," Spencer said, referring to the new members moving in as soon as the house opened. "There's been growing pains along the way, but we got the new members accommodated pretty well."

Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, said she was optimis- tic the fraternity would succeed.

"They've moved in, and they're on the upswing," she said. "They have a strong new class, and I don't see anything wrong with what they've got going."

McClain said he was positive Delta Chi would continue to grow.

"The sky's the limit," McClain said. "With the quality of men we have now, and with an ever improving physical structure to take pride in, Delta Chi has established itself and looks forward to growing more and more in the coming years."

sorority plans installment of inaugura

elt alumnae chapter

Delta Delta Delta wanted to increase alumnae support.

Andrea Bryant, fall collegiate alumnae relations officer and junior in architecture, said the alumnae had been in the background for the past couple of years.

"We've had an alumnae chapter that's been kind of inactive," she said. "Our goal has been to get it back on its feet."

Bryant said the sorority aimed toward more personal involvement between alumnae and sorority members.

"The alumnae haven't been very involved," she said. "It is still registered as a chapter alumnae, and we are just trying to help bring it together so it can be more involved with our house."

Renee Baker, chapter adviser, said the house needed more alumnae support.

"We really want to see the alumnae reformed and ac- tively supporting the house," she said. "We plan to get the girls and alumnae together during social events to set that in motion."

Katie Marshall, collegiate alumnae relations officer and junior in education, said they tried to implement unique

ways to boost relations between the house and alumnae.

"We paired up collegiate members and alumnae mem- bers in a buddy system," she said. "That way, if house members need someone to talk to, they have an older person to relate to."

Alumnae support was needed for financial improve- ments, Marshall said.

"If we have a special project, like a house add-on or we don't have the funding to do a special event, they can really help us out," she said.

Tri-Delts planned to give back to alumnae, Marshall said.

"We look at it as a two-way street," she said. "If the alumnae would ever need any help doing something or just need some support from the women in the house, we plan to be there."

Building alumnae support was a task to be looked at objectively, Marshall said.

"I am very optimistic about this project," she said. "Even though alumnae support is in a bad state now, I believe that we can have a lot of fun with doing this and increase our much-needed support."

entertaining fans and showing off,

student enjoys attention )

He stood 9 feet, 7 inches tall but only at work.

Aaron Defenbaugh, Delta Sigma Phi member and senior in landscape architecture, walked on stilts as a member of Big Cats, who entertained tailgaters before home football games.

"We are tailgating mascots," Defenbaugh said. "We're free to make fun of people, and they give us their tailgating food. It's a good time."

The athletic department introduced the Big Cats for the 1998 football season. Steve Kirkland, cheerleading sponsor, said the department had hired a stilt walker in 1997.

"This year we decided to change it over," Kirkland said. "We made it a student program."

In order to become Big Cats, students attended the first cheerleading practice to try out. After being selected, mem- bers practiced every morning with the cheerleading squad.

The stilts, made of aluminum, ranged from three to four feet in height. Defenbaugh said once he adjusted to walking with them, using stilts became simple.

"We just walked around and fell down a lot at first," Defenbaugh said. "We got used to them."

Eight students worked as Big Cats throughout the foot- ball season with six walking the parking lot at one time.

The Big Cats walked through the Bramlage Coliseum parking lot for about two hours before kickoffs. In exchange, the athletic department gave them passes to home games.

"\ was told we got free tickets," Defenbaugh said. "That was cool, because you never know if you're going to get football tickets or not."

The job gave Defenbaugh celebrity status, he said.

"It's all clean fun," he said. "The kids want autographs, and everyone wants their pictures taken with the tall guys."

Other Delta Sig members said the job fit Defenbaugh.

"When I first found out he was doing this, I thought it sounded like something right up his alley," said Kyle Corman, junior in general management who lived with him for three years. "He's the first to do something different."

Although the department restricted language Big Cats used to prevent them from offending fans, it allowed them to say and do almost whatever they wanted, Defenbaugh said.

"I like mingling with the crowd," he said. "It's like you're an actor on the stage, and everyone pays attention to you."

However, Corman, who attended all the home games, said it didn't seem as though Defenbaugh acted.

"He acted the way he does most of the time," Corman said. "Aaron's got a really strong personality, and this lets him show it even more."

While the Big Cats traveled with the cheerleaders, they remained separate groups. Defenbaugh discussed a time before the Baylor game when differences became apparent.

"We were eating breakfast right before the game," he said. "There were three Big Cats and Willie (the Wildcat). All four of us were sitting at one table and the cheerleaders were all at another, being peppy and happy like cheerleaders are.

"Willie says, 'Look at them, sitting there, being happy,' " Defenbaugh said. " 'That's what they're here for, to get the crowd happy and pumped up. We're here because we're goofy.' I guess what Willie said just summed it all up. It's just a lot of fun."

with a donated truck and some paint,

r

delt-mobile comes to life

Looking like a life-size Hot Wheels toy, Delta Tau Delta's purple "Delt-mobile" was at every tailgate party and at KU Oct. 31.

"We did it just so we'd have something to go tailgating with and stuff like that, so everyone would know where we're at." Chris Higgins, senior in fine arts and owner of the 1980 Ford Bronco, said.

Higgins said before the Delt-mobile, they didn't have a special vehicle to take to football games.

"It makes the environment better because people are always saying something about it," Higgins said. "It causes more of a scene."

The Bronco had been with Higgin's family since 1981, he said. Higgins said he drove it between Manhattan and Wichita until he didn't think it could make another trip. Then his parents OK'd giving the truck to his fraternity.

"We just decided this year to do it because I believe it's been done in the past," Zac Maze, junior in accounting, said. "Chris decided he'd be the one who was going to sacrifice his Bronco."

Higgins said men in the fraternity spent about four days before the first game decorating the truck with purple paint, silver flames and a Powercat logo.

Brian Guild, junior in graphic design, helped paint the Bronco.

"I'd been airbrushing it. We actually took latex enamel house paint and ran it through my compressor I had that I used to airbrush," Guild said. "We put the Delt letters on the back on the tailgate, and we did those in a gold chrome. We

taped off the letters and sprayed it yellow and sprayed a little bit of black and brown there to make it look gold."

Maze said the enhancements were fairly inexpensive to do.

"Everyone pitched in some money for him for paint," Maze said. "It looked pretty good, I thought, so we'd always take it tailgating."

The Delt-mobile made it to every home football game, and despite its age, it even made the trip to Lawrence Oct. 3 1 .

"I work at 12th Street, and I got off at 2, and we just decided to take off," Higgins said. "There were tons of other people from our house who went, also. So we could get a ride with someone, if we needed that."

Higgins said the Delt-mobile's trip to Lawrence didn't cause an uproar from KU fans.

"We really didn't get that much of a response there," he said. "When we drove by we'd get stares and stuff like, 'What the hell is that?' but that's about it."

Members loved it, Maze said.

"It showed a lot of purple pride," he said. "Everybody always likes seeing it when we're tailgating before football games. It was always kind of a staple that was there."

Higgins agreed.

"Everyone I've talked to is really impressed with it, with the work we've put into it," he said.

Several of the men predicted the Delt-mobile would become a Delt tradition.

"Chris said he was going to keep the truck in the house for a while, so I'm sure it will be," Guild said.

adviser steps down but sees through

vision 2000 comp

ZJ

Fraternity members prepared for the millennium, but their adviser decided it was time to give someone else the chance to lead them to it.

Delta Upsilon's Vision 2000 project was slated for completion by fall 1999. While coordination for the project was nearly complete, its project coordinator, Dave Fritchen, chose to step down from his other position as chapter ad- viser. Fritchen, DU's adviser and assistant professor of archi- tectural engineering and construction science, helped with the project from its beginning in 1993.

"About that time, the alumni corporation was about one year into Vision 2000 campaign to completely renovate, add additional property to the existing chapter house and get ready for the new millennium," Fritchen said. "I volunteered to be project coordinator. I'm the only one on the alumni board who has engineering and construction background."

Vision 2000 involved $1.4 million in renovations and would bring the house's capacity from 68 to 82.

"This postition of chapter adviser is normally a three- year role, but I'm going on five years," Fritchen said. "As long as I'm chapter adviser, it doesn't allow anyone else to do it."

Scott Leahy, president and senior in electrical engineer- ing, said Fritchen's help was essential to the project, and he would be missed as chapter adviser.

"He thinks the project will be finished within the year and thinks it's time to give someone else the chance, but he's been the project leader, start to finish," Leahy said. "He lined up all the contractors, got the zoning board's approval and our

neighbors' support. He's spent a lot of weekends and late nights. You wouldn't believe how many forms you have to fill out."

Since the project included both the help of alumni and undergraduates, Leahy said part of Fritchen's job included maintaining relations between the two.

"He's pretty much the liaison between the undergradu- ates and the alumni," he said. "He takes ideas to the alumni board and has been involved pretty heavily with the de- sign."

J.R. Robl, junior in political science, said Fritchen's help made the renovations possible.

"He paved the way for the new addition," Robl said. "The new house has been a big goal, and it shows the incredible progress. He's really in charge, kind of the Jesus Christ of the whole thing."

Robl said Fritchen not only helped with the project but also with the fraternity members, and it would be difficult to find a replacement.

"He's leaving a tough position to fill. It's a tough job," Robl said. "He's very helpful. He gives us help and advice on schedules or answers any questions college students would have. He's the away-from-home father figure."

Fritchen said although he would miss his position, he looked forward to the project's completion.

"This role of project coordinator consumes an awful lot of time, but it's been very exciting for me," he said. "It gives (DU undergraduates) the kind of environment in which they can achieve their goals and the goals of DU fraternity."

residents enjoy convenience of

new computer networ

FarmHouse members could check their e-mail in their pajamas if they wanted.

A new network, connecting the house to campus Ethernet, Internet and telephone lines, gave residents e-mail access from their personal computers. The new system also gave the house a campus phone number.

David Hendricks, senior in agriculture technology man- agement, worked with KSU Telecommunications to install the system.

"The last time we had a major renovation was in 1954," Hendricks said. "Things had been pretty much the same since then."

Hendricks said the house was old and needed repairs and renovations.

"We were starting to have troubles with the plumbing and pipes rusting and breaking," he said. "The breakers in the house weren't built for computers and TVs in every room."

Before installing the new system, residents who wanted Ethernet access on their personal computers had to pay a connection fee through the university. The new system allowed residents with personal computers to receive cam- pus e-mail and access the Internet at no extra charge.

"I think the guys really like it. They used to have to go on campus or borrow someone's dial-up to use e-mail," Hendricks said. "People just didn't check their e-mail and research over the Web. This year, the computer labs are full, and people are enjoying it."

Kris Meiergerd, president and junior in animal science, said the new system caused residents to take advantage of the fraternity's computers.

Before the renovations, the fraternity had two computers and a copy machine. The new system added another com- puter and a server used for research and file sharing.

The house underwent a complete structural renovation as well. All rooms were renovated, except the educational wing, Hendricks said. Plumbing, fire sprinklers and smoke detectors were updated. New flooring, walls, ceilings and furniture were installed in rooms.

"We wanted to look at the technology side when we renovated," Hendricks said. "We were bringing wire up so people could hook computers and TVs up in their rooms."

Hendricks worked with Spencer Smith, Telecommunica-

tions network administrator, to get the new network in- stalled.

"Since they remodeled over the summer, when they ran a new phone line, we just brought in our equipment," Smith said. "We worked with Southwestern Bell to transport sig- nals from the campus to the house."

FarmHouse wasn't the only greek house interested in the new system.

"A lot of fraternities and sororities were asking for Ethernet," Smith said. "Dorms had them, and they were feeling left behind."

Far from being left behind, FarmHouse was among the first group of greek houses to hook up to the campus net- work. Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Pi Kappa Phi and Acacia also hooked up to the campus system throughout the year.

"We would like to get all of the greek houses hooked up," Smith said. "It's just a matter of time and available resources to get everyone interested in it."

Since FarmHouse was one of the first houses to install the system, Smith said it was two to three months from the initial request to having the system installed. However, he said it was an easy process, especially for house residents, who just filled out a work order with Telecommunications.

Having access to the campus network improved technol- ogy for the fraternity, but Hendricks said they continued to look into other new technology.

"We're really trying to improve the technology in the house, he said. "We want people to get the benefits of it all."

Residents said they enjoyed the accessibility of the sys- tem as well as the money it saved.

"It helps with researching and looking up things on the Internet," Meiergerd said. "It makes it a lot easier. Instead of hauling everything over to the computer lab, you can do everything at home."

The system wasn't used only for studying. Residents enjoyed the convenience of having e-mail in their rooms as well.

"It makes it a lot easier," Meiegerd said. "The only time I would check my e-mail before was if I was on campus. I was usually running to class and didn't have much time. Now I can check it late at night. It's much more convenient to keep in touch with family and friends."

fraternities donate to gamma phi spiketacular

( despite cancellation

Not once, not twice, but three times the men did not get to play.

The fraternity portion of Spiketacular, a volleyball tour- nament put on by Gamma Phi Beta and Beta Theta Pi, was canceled because of the weather.

Betas had their tournament for sororities to compete Sept. 18. The Gamma Phi's fraternity portion, slated for Sept. 20, was canceled due to rain. The event competed with football games on Saturdays and with Wildcat Creek Sports Center's schedule on Sundays. The Gamma Phis resched- uled the event for Oct. 4.

"And then it rained again," Terrelle Carlgren, Spiketacular chairwoman and junior in secondary educa- tion, said. "We tried to do it indoors, but the Rec's schedule didn't have an opening, and it was nearly impossible to find a time that fit with all the fraternities' schedules."

Jodi Pape, president and senior in nutrition science, said the sorority tried to find a time that fit everyone's schedules. "We sent out a letter in October and explained the situation, and we asked if they'd still be interested," she said. "And then it rained again, and we canceled again. We set an additional date, but by then it was so late in the semester there were not enough people able to participate. So we had to go ahead and cancel all the fraternities."

Theta Xi member Trent Meverden, senior in electrical engineering, said the event would not have been the same had it been inside the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.

"It's always out at Wildcat Creek with all the houses," he said. "It's always a nice day, and if it was inside, there wouldn't be enough room for everyone to come out and cheer you on."

Pape said the sorority decided it would be best to cancel the tournament.

"We knew if it was at the Rec, the participation level wouldn't be very high." Pape said. "We decided it was best not to have it."

Although the weather ruined their plans to compete, the 17 fraternity teams still donated their $40 fees to Camp Sechelt.

The camp was Gamma Phi's philanthropy that sent un- derprivileged girls from the United States to Canada.

"Some fraternities had two or three teams who were going to participate, and even though the event was can- celed, they still donated their entry fee," Pape said. "Consid- ering the circumstances, that it was postponed twice, it was extremely generous of the fraternities to still go ahead and contribute. It's awesome that they chose to do that."

Dan Keenan, Beta Spiketacular chairman and senior in architectural engineering, said the men knew what the event was all about.

"They just contributed to the spirit of the whole idea," he said.

Carlgren said the fraternities only followed through with what they had committed themselves to.

"They'd already given us the checks, and said they wanted to give to the philanthropy," she said. "They're not going to renege over not being able to play."

Keenan also said the fraternities wouldn't want their money back when they knew it was for a good cause.

"Yeah, they didn't get to do it." Keenan said, "but they wouldn't want to punish the people we had the philan- thropy for just because they didn't get to play."

Meverden said he understood why the tournament was canceled.

"I was a little bit disappointed, but it makes sense why they weren't able to schedule it because of the rain," he said. "We were really pumped up about it."

Meverden said he was also glad the fraternities still donated the entry fee.

"I thought it was really the decent thing to do," he said. "It's the whole reasoning behind having the philanthropy. The charity shouldn't have to suffer."

powder puff football allows thetas to make

plays in husker terntor

Kappa Alpha Theta members ended their powder puff football season soaking wet and covered in mud.

The sorority sisters lost in the semifinal round of the Nike College Tournament, Nov. 7 and 8 in Lincoln, Neb., after playing on a soggy field in cold temperatures.

Rain and snow fell throughout the weekend, and the team played in a pile of mud. The mud created challenges during the tournament, especially when the women at- tempted to run plays, Sara Meese, sophomore in architec- ture, said.

"We were a little bit disappointed," Meese said. "We played so hard, but it didn't turn out the way we wanted. The other team adapted to the conditions better."

Despite the difficulty to adjust, the Theta team still won three games out of the four they played.

"We were supposed to have two games on Saturday, but one team dropped out because of the weather," Meese said. "On Sunday morning, we played in the quarterfinals and the semifinals."

Theta's team participated in the Nebraska tournament after it completed playing in Tau Kappa Epsilon's powder puff football philanthropy.

Attending the Nebraska tournament wasn't affected by the team's record during the TKE season.

After the regular season, where the team placed second, team members paid an entrance fee and turned in a roster to compete. The grand prize was to play in a powder puff game during halftime of a Bowl Championship Series football game.

The team needed to adjust its plays before the tourna- ment, but there was only one week to practice. That week was also initiation week, allowing little practice time, Meese said.

"The rules are different here, so we had to change the way we did some things," Courtney Higgins, junior in account- ing and finance, said. "The major rule that was different was

here you can have two forward passes, and there you can only have one."

Powder puff football allowed women to learn new plays while playing simultaneously with the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex intramural flag football season in the fall.

After paying a $90 entry fee, the participating 10 sorori- ties were assigned TKE coaches.

"The TKEs coach us during the year," Meese said. "We see what works and what didn't. The TKEs help us out a lot, but we adapt from them."

From the audience's standpoint, the league was a success for both the TKEs and the women who played, Teresa Middleswart, sophomore in life sciences, said.

"I think it is highly organized," said Middleswart, who didn't compete because of a problem with her shoulder. "It's a great chance for girls to show off their skills in football."

Middleswart followed the team to the tournament in Lincoln and attended every regular-season game.

"There are six weeks of regular season games," Greg Jones, sophomore in business and TKE member, said. "Ev- ery team goes to the playoffs, and it's single elimination. All the money raised goes to the Special Olympics here in Manhattan."

Despite the imperfect end to the season, the team gained more than they lost, Middleswart said.

"I thought it was a lot of fun," Middleswart said. "It was a great chance for the girls to play other teams, and they met a lot of people."

Playing in the league also offered an opportunity for the teammates to acquaint themselves with other sorority mem- bers. The sorority had 140 members, so it was difficult to get to know everyone personally, Middleswart said.

"In high school, we had a close bond," Meese said. "That's what I missed when I went to college, but this tournament brought that back."

after a five-year absence from k-state,

kd sorori returns ho

On Oct. 4, Panhellenic Council voted 9-2 to reinstate Kappa Delta sorority. That vote made good a five-year promise that KD would be the first sorority to be invited back when the number of rushees increased.

The 1998 sorority rush, which increased by 100 women from the previous year, caused a strain on existing chapters, said Lindsey Roy, Panhellenic Council president and senior in journalism and mass communications.

"We felt like this was the right time," Roy said. "We've had increasing enrollment and rush numbers."

Roy said some chapters felt inviting a new sorority would hurt chapters that hadn't reached quota.

Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, was optimistic that wouldn't be the case.

"When a new sorority comes on campus, there is excite- ment about membership," she said. "The excitement will benefit all sororities."

When KD left in 1993, they chose not to sell their house at 1220 Centennial Drive with hopes of returning to campus. The local alumni chapter set up a house corporation board, responsible for caring for the property.

The board began preparing the house for KD's return

after they were invited back. Sue Peterson, board president and KD alumna, said the house needed to be cleaned and painted.

"The main issue is to make sure the property is ready to reopen," Peterson said.

KDs wouldn't conduct a formal rush with other houses on campus but decided to use the weekend of Sept. 24-26, 1999, to have a colonization rush.

"It takes a whole lot of us," Peterson said. "We're going to be calling alums from all over the state from our chapter. It's going to be a big team effort. Everyone is going to help."

Roy said undergraduates from other Kansas KD chapters and national officers would also help conduct rush.

Although the KDs would not offer relief to the 1999 Rush Week, Robel said the next rush would benefit from an extra sorority.

"I think the greek houses at K-State are very strong," Peterson said. "They have an excellent reputation with in- coming students. We'll hold our own with enrollment, so that will give us a great participation in rush. From our standpoint, we're just honored to be asked to come back and be a part of the system."

She knew for two years she wanted to run for Student Ambassador. Her sister's friend, also a Kappa Kappa Gamma, had succeeded, then two more girls in her sorority.

"The streak could have ended because of me," Angela Moxley, junior in textile science, said. "That's a lot of pres- sure to put on someone."

Moxley's fears turned out to be unwarranted when the student body elected her a Student Ambassador at the Oct. 24 football game. During her one-year term she would represent students to alumni and prospective students.

Moxley's sorority sister, Sara Reser, senior in marketing and 1998 Student Ambassador, welcomed her.

"It has special meaning because of the comfort factor," she said. "When I wondered, 'Do I belong here?' Sara told me, 'I know you'll be excellent at doing this.' Coming from an ambassador, it's something that really encourages you."

Reser said she liked leaving the job to someone she knew.

"It's been really nice to know Angie took my place," she said. "I had so much fun, and it's nice to know a friend gets to do it."

Reser said it also had special meaning for their sorority.

"I think there's been so much excitement in our house

A

because a couple of people have done it," she said. "It's something we're proud of. It shows we support our sisters. It's an exciting thing we've gotten to pass down."

The sorority supported her and the other ambassadors because it gave inspiration for everyone to get involved.

"The house focuses more on overall involvement," Moxley said. "It's more important to encourage others to get involved in what they're good at."

Heather Landsdowe, assistant director of alumni pro- grams and All-University Homecoming Committee chair, said a streak like the Kappas occasionally happened because people in the same living groups found out about the pro- gram from each other.

"Over the years, sometimes a trend just develops," she said. "Sometimes, it happens because they see a friend doing a job, and they find it more intriguing. Some people on campus just aren't familiar with the program."

Moxley said Reser helped her know what to expect.

"Starting out, you don't know everything, but at the end, Sara says you're like, T wish I knew that,' " Moxley said. "She gives me advice. She'll watch me and tell me honestly how to improve."

Watching SportsCenter in his Manhattan home on the rainy Saturday morning of Oct. 31, Dave Nowak, senior in construction science and management, answered his ringing phone at 10 a.m.

His traveling buddies and Kappa Sigma fraternity broth- ers were on the other end of the line in Lawrence, telling him it was time to crack open a beer. Nowak wasn't tailgating with them before the K-State-KU football game because he was battling a 102-degree temperature and didn't want to risk serious illness. But that didn't stop him from downing a cold one with his buddies.

"Oh yeah, it was still gameday," Nowak said.

That was the normal routine for Nowak, Matt David, Scott Greenway and Monte Lamond almost every Saturday morning during the K-State football season, Lamond said.

"We usually start drinking pretty early in the morning, and on those trips that some of the guys weren't able to make, we call them on the phone," Lamond, junior in agronomy, said. "Either wake them or they're already awake. We have a beer while we're talking on the phone, just so we can, in a sense, be together."

The tradition of traveling to K-State road games together started when David, Greenway and Lamond went to College Station, Texas, Oct. 19, 1996, to see the Wildcats play Texas A&M. From then on, Greenway, senior in chemical engineer- ing, said the group was hooked on road trips.

"We loved College Station," Greenway said. "We de- cided we wanted to go to other college towns and see what life was like there."

The group continued to travel, with Nowak joining them for the first time Oct. 25, 1997, for the Norman, Okla., trip to see K-State play Oklahoma. At least three of the four traveled to every K-State road game of the 1998 season. Lamond said there was more that kept the group together than just being in the same fraternity.

"We've kind of just bonded as a group. We all enjoy

A

football, the drinking that comes along with it," Lamond said. "It just kind of kept us together, not to mention we're in the same fraternity, so we see a lot of each other."

While making their trips, the group made sure to leave its mark on the host city or college town.

"When we went to Baylor, we called their college radio station on the air while we were driving," Greenway said. "We told them we were basically going to beat them into a bloody pulp the next day, and they agreed with us on the air."

The most traveled of the group, David, senior in hotel and restaurant management, missed only two K-State foot- ball games, one on the road and one at home, in four seasons. He was supposed to graduate in May but took the spring semester off and would graduate in December. Instead of taking classes in the spring, David said he worked on an internship for eight months, partly because he wanted an- other season of K-State football as a student.

"My parents always told me I had four years of college they would pay for, and for the rest I was on my own," David said. "I figured out a way to get four years of money and five football seasons."

Despite being the only person in the group willing to rearrange his life for another season of K-State football, David wasn't the biggest fanatic in the traveling group, Lamond said.

"He's more vocal about it. I would say all of us love the game equally, and especially for K-State football — we're all pretty much fanatics," Lamond said. "Matt's a little more vocal about it to say the least."

Greenway and Lamond proved they were fanatics with the pact they made with David at the Builders Square Alamo Bowl.

"We made a pact when we were down at the Alamo Bowl," David said. "Until we die, we're going to go to every K-State bowl game together."

Paint It Purple was no longer worth points for Homecom- ing competition, but Lambda Chi Alpha members voted to complete their service project anyway.

"We were kind of trying to show everyone the reason Paint It Purple is there is to help the community out," said Travis Morgan, Lambda Chi Paint It Purple Homecoming committee chairman and sophomore in business adminis- tration. "It's not necessarily the Homecoming points that were important to us. It was helping the community out. And the guys in our house are about more than just the Homecoming points."

Paint It Purple was the largest point earner until being cancelled.

Aaron Cross, Lambda Chi Homecoming chairman and senior in industrial engineering, said greek Homecoming chairmen and chairwomen voted to cancel Paint It Purple because of poor participation by sorority and fraternity members.

The United Way scheduled the community service projects for Saturdays, which sometimes conflicted with football games and tailgate parties. Cross said improve- ments, such as allowing the houses to set their own dates or giving more notice about project dates could be made for the future.

However, he said canceling the event was the right decision.

"I was disappointed to back out of something I was committed to," Cross said about the group's decision to cancel Paint It Purple. "I think canceling it was better than us not showing up."

For their Paint It Purple project, Lambda Chi members picked up trash at City, Cico and Annenberg parks from 8:30 to about 10 a.m. Oct. 17.

"It was something we'd already committed to do for the United Way," Todd Briggeman, senior in mechanical engi- neering, said. "They already had the resources planned out,

and they'd already figured out what we were going to do. We were just upholding our end of the bargain."

Stormy weather did not deter about 65 members from participating, Morgan said.

"It was a lot of fun over in Annenberg Park," Morgan said. "There were pumpkins spread out all over the place. We had a lot of fun picking all those pumpkins up and picking up all the trash and stuff."

Briggeman said Morgan banged pots and pans to wake up members. The loud awakening was not their only moti- vation to do the community service project.

"First of all, we're helping people out," Briggeman said. "Second of all, we're getting our name out in a good respect. A lot of times people don't look at the greek system through rose-colored glasses."

Morgan said he did not approve of the event's cancella- tion because some houses had already completed their projects and did not receive recognition. He said he wanted the project to be a part of future Homecoming competitions.

"A lot of people get a bad image of the people involved in these groups, and I think they are really great people and have a lot to offer the community," Morgan said. "The service is getting a group of people together this large and doing something. It should be for community service and getting the greek community together to do something. There's a great amount of honor in doing service."

Lambda Chis were required to do at least two community service projects a semester. Brian Briggeman, junior in agribusiness, said members would find other community service projects to complete if Paint It Purple was perma- nently cancelled.

"Community service is about helping, and that's what we follow in our national guidelines," Briggeman said. "I think there was motivation that just got ignited and got going with everybody and carried on, and everybody was like, 'Hey, this is a great idea.' "

fraternities and sororities visit thrift stores

to dress for date parties

For some, polyester pants, go-go boots and Hawaiian shirts never went out of style.

Fraternities and sororities made use of those styles by having date parties or functions where members and dates

dressed in wedding clothes, Hawaiian

fashions or styles from past decades.

Matt Dill, freshman in electrical engi- neering, said flashback functions and date parties were popular because they allowed people to act in ways they normally wouldn't.

"People act the way they dress," Dill said. "If you are dressed more formally, you aren't going to be as relaxed. However, if you are dressed crazy, you are going to have more fun. You look crazy and stupid anyway, so you might as well act the part."

Being dressed in odd clothing encour- aged people to act crazier than they nor- mally would, Cameron Dolbee, sopho- more in mechanical engineering, said.

"We were at Village Inn with two other couples and the two other guys started singing and serenading the waitress," he said.

Dill said finding clothes to wear was

part of the flashback party experience.

"I found my pants in Junction City outside a thrift shop," Dill said. "We were looking to see if they were even open,

and they were in a bag outside the store with a bunch of other clothes. I also got a really ugly shirt and a lacy blue tie."

Clothing worn by partygoers caused humorous situa- tions outside of the parties Dolbee said.

"We all went to Vista to get a brownie

delight, and my date's dress matched the furniture," Dolbee said. "It was the same color, material and all."

Having the added twist of dressing up increased attendance at most parties, Christie Longberg, sophomore in el- ementary education, said.

"More people go just because it is so much fun to go out to Grandma's Trunk and get your clothes and then go pick your date up all dressed up," Longberg said. "When it is a fun theme, people are more likely to stick around and not just show up and then go to the bars."

Party themes ranged from luaus to "Revenge of the Nerds," and Dill said there was room for almost any theme.

"I've always wanted to have a party and call it Wild and Woolly, " he said. "You could have a western theme and

dress up as buffalo, or I think there

should be a Woodstock theme. That way you wouldn't have to worry about clothes, and you could always go naked."

Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority ended its semi-annual Al- pha Kappa Alpha Week with a bang when the women had their first Singled Out competition, a mock version of the MTV game show.

While Alpha Kappa Alpha Week was celebrated once each semester and included events meant to help the sorority build sisterly relations, the women decided to bring some- thing new to the week.

"We had talked about it for about two years," Chanda Mays, senior in sociology, said. "I got everything to do it organized, and we did it."

The Singled Out competition required a donation of a non-perishable food item to attend or participate. The women donated the items to Manhattan's Red Cross Emer- gency Shelter.

AKAs had the competition on Friday as the week's final event Sept. 25. Mays, who organized the event, spent two weeks in the K-State Student Union screening possible con- testants by having them fill out surveys. Six contestants were chosen — three men and three women.

"I feel so nervous," Miwako Davison, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said before the event. "1 hope I get a good date."

Before each round of the competition, a group of 50 people were questioned. Their answers were written on heart-shaped cards and pinned to their clothes. During the competition, contestants of the opposite sex asked the group the same questions.

The questions were fun for the contestants and the audi- ence, and they contained subjects like underwear prefer- ence, Mays said.

The contestants then chose which response they wanted to eliminate. People who had those responses on their cards were eliminated. After the 50 were narrowed down to three possible dates, they were all asked the same questions. If their answers matched the answers the contestants gave,

they moved forward. The first to reach the contestant was the winner.

"I'm really glad I got picked," said Alfred Jackson, win- ner of Davison's contest and sophomore in business admin- istration. "It'll be a special night. This is something fun for students to do, and it's a free date, so why not?"

In another round, Akilah Hardy, junior in pre-nursing, imi- tated a touch- down dance.

"I'm so excit- ed," Hardy said. "I've never won anything before."

Hardy said she and her date, Brandon Franklin, freshman in construction science and management, were both too busy to use their prize.

"We never went on the date," she said. "We just split the tickets, but we keep in touch, and we're still good friends."

For their dates, winners received gift certificates from restaurants, including The Gold Fork and Carlos O'Kelly's, as well as free movie passes and free games of miniature golf and bowling.

Aranda Jones, sophomore in elementary education, said she enjoyed the competition because it involved everyone.

The competition ended Alpha Kappa Alpha Week. Korri Hall, senior in elementary education, said like other events during the week, Singled Out was a success.

"I was very impressed with the turnout," she said. "There were over 100 people there."

Instead of having one house, Phi Delta Thetas had four.

After Phi Delts sold their old house at 508 Sunset to Delta Chis in 1997, they moved into a small house located on their new lot at 2216 Claflin in addition to three rental properties.

Evan Howe, Phi Delt adviser, said the advisory board wanted to keep members close to their property.

"We talked about apartments," Howe said, "but we felt it was the best idea to use the property we have."

Members lived out of house or continued to live under their housing contract. Those who chose to live in house could live in one of the three rental properties or in the annex.

"A lot of the officers chose to live under the housing contract," Michael Goodpasture, senior in physical sciences, said. "I really like it. The rent is a lot cheaper. That is for sure. "

Although there were benefits, spreading members out caused problems, too.

"A majority of our members live out of house, and it's hard to get everyone together and on time," Michael Gelphman, senior in management, said. "We're all accus- tomed to the house at 508 Sunset."

The annex on their property served as the temporary Phi Delt house during the construction, Howe said.

"N

"They have the capability to serve evening meals to everyone in the house," Howe said. "It's especially nice since some of our rental houses are right next to it."

In addition to housing four members, Howe said the annex became a gathering place for the men.

"There we have a place for everything they need," he said. "It has a pool table, a foos ball table, the computer lab and all of our old composites."

The new lot was a better location, Howe said.

"The land we have is six times larger than what we had at the old house," he said. "We will be able to have basketball courts and a large parking area with parking stalls for everyone."

Following new national guidelines, the Phi Delt house would be a dry house upon completion in fall 2000. How- ever, members opted to go dry when they left their old house.

Gelphman said the benefits were worth the transition.

"If we put up a new house, we want to do it right," he said. "The alumni board wants to put up a nice house and make it one of the best Phi Delt houses in the nation. It's been sort of an odd time, but the thing that has made it easier is that we know we are getting this nice $2.5 million dollar house."

renovations and senior wing entice

r

seniors to live in house

A new wing on the Phi Gamma Delta house enticed more members to call the house home their senior year.

The house increased capacity from 60 to about 70 with the new six-room wing in the fall.

"They're really good about letting senior guys live in if they choose to," said Rob Griswold, senior in management who lived in the new wing. "If the seniors want to stay in, they're welcome to, but having more space encourages it."

Rather than sharing the rooms with four people, two men shared rooms in the senior wing.

"One of the drivers in this whole thing was that our retention of seniors was so small," Allen Switzer, chapter adviser, said. "One thing was that they just needed to go on, but they also wanted more privacy."

Although the rooms eventually provided more privacy for the men, they weren't completed until October.

"It was a pretty rough transition because we were living in here while the changes were going on," Griswold said. "I had to move like three times."

Despite the inconveniences, Switzer said the number of seniors wishing to live in the house more than doubled.

"We have 10 who live in," Griswold said, "and I could give you seven names for sure of people who would like to live in now that it's done."

The senior wing, along with other renovations, were paid for by alumni support and loans.

"Our oldest graduate is 50 years old, which means the oldest guy just put his kids through college, so that they came up with the money is amazing to me," Griswold said. "The

graduates really pulled through with the contributions."

Renovations included new heating, air-conditioning units and windows, and improvements to the parking lot, porch, plumbing and wiring.

"It's something that needed to be done," Greg Ernzen, president and junior in marketing, said. "There's just a lot of wear and tear done to the house with 60 guys living in it. The house looks a lot more like a fraternity house."

Since purchasing the house in 1995, several renovations had been made, but the summer and fall renovations were the most extensive, Switzer said.

"You come to a point where you say, 'If we're going to do this right from now on, we need to bite the bullet and do it,' " he said.

Fijis also needed to stay competitive with other living facilities in Manhattan, Switzer said. He said college men wanted more access to technology, so they hired a computer expert to help ensure the house was wired for the future.

"Men come to K-State today with a television, VCR, their own computer and six to eight small appliances," Switzer said. "When I came to school 20 years ago, I had an alarm clock and a turn table. With the renovations, we are able to accommodate more of that."

Members also took care of the house better after the renovations, Switzer said.

"When we did not have nice living quarters, when we were renting this house, it was a dump. Nobody cared. Nobody wanted to take care of the house," he said. "Now that we've made these improvements, people care."

through toy donations, phi kapps

'spread Christmas cheer

_J

Winter formal involved more than dressing up and danc- ing the night away for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity members. It meant getting into the Christmas spirit and helping those in need.

On Dec. 12, the Phi Kapps brought their dates to the house for an evening of dining, dancing and a surprise visit from Santa Claus.

The fraternity members rented a Santa suit and chose one member to dress up in it. After dinner, Santa sat by the Christmas tree. He called out the names of the women present and asked them to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.

After listening to their Christmas wishes, Santa pre- sented each with a gift. But the gifts were not for the women. Instead they fulfilled the Christmas wishes of Manhattan- area children.

"Each guy buys a gift in advance," said Courtney Henderson, president and junior in human resource man- agement. "Santa calls out the dates' names, and they open a gift that's donated to Toys for Tots."

Each member bought a $10-$15 gift and wrapped it before the party. They put the names of their dates on the gifts for Santa to present at the party.

Mark Thomas, senior in mechanical engineering, said about 40 couples attended, and each contributed a toy.

The Phi Kapps didn't let their dates know what would happen at the dance. The sight of Santa surprised several women, and he surprised them even more when he asked them to sit on his lap, Aaron Shea, junior in secondary

education, said.

"If the girl is someone everyone knows, Santa messes with them a little and gives them a hard time," he said. "It's amusing."

Getting into the Christmas spirit was the main focus, Thomas said, but getting to embarrass the women added to the festivities.

"It's a way to give back to the community," he said. "It gets us in the Christmas spirit, and it's entertaining to embar- rass the dates."

Shea said the formal gave them a time to have fun and relax before finals week.

"Everyone's here," Shea said. "We're all hanging out and having a good time. It's a way to relieve a little tension before finals."

Even members who weren't able to attend the function contributed to the cause.

"There's always guys who are out of town," Thomas said. "But they bought a gift anyway."

Although the members enjoyed the party, Henderson said the purpose was to give something to the community.

"It's always a lot of fun," he said. "It keeps the guys' spirits up. But the point of the party is that it's not for us."

The event allowed members to help children better enjoy Christmas and helped the Phi Kapps remember the meaning of Christmas, Henderson said.

"We do it because it's a good thing to outreach to children of the community," he said, "and it keeps the guys down to earth."

It started with the Oprah Winfrey show and ended with a four-bedroom house.

In between, Pi Beta Phi members raised more than $32,000 to make the Habitat for Humanity home a reality.

"Lindsey de la Torre and Aimee Jackson literally burst into my office at Career and Employment Services one day and said, 'We have been watching Oprah, and did you know Oprah is having an angel network to build 205 houses?' " Marcia Schuley, Habitat for Humanity president, said.

When Oprah Winfrey challenged viewers to build with Habitat for Humanity in fall 1997, the Pi Phis became the only non-corporate sponsor to take on the challenge.

"We were really interested just because three of the four homes that have been built have gone to single mothers," Jackson, senior in interior design, said of Manhattan's Habi- tat for Humanity homes, "and we thought, as a women's organization, it would be really great to help these women."

Schuley hadn't heard about the challenge when de la Torre, junior in kineseology, and Jackson offered to raise the money for one of the Oprah Angel Network houses. But when she received the application to have one of the homes in Manhattan, she was prepared with answers.

"One of the questions was, 'How are you going to raise money?' " Schuley said. "I was able to write down that Pi Beta Phi sorority, the Pi Phi angels, are already planning on how to raise money for this home."

The two women organized events enlisting the help of Pi Phi members. They took donations at a booth in Wal-Mart, had a benefit concert at Lucky BrewGrille and conducted a

raffle. They also sent letters to friends, families and alumnae asking for donations.

Once they finished fund-raising spring semester 1998, the women returned in the summer to help build the house.

"Aimee and I made several trips back this summer and did the subflooring," de la Torre said. "We put up all the walls and did a little of the roof. We had a blast building the house. Hopefully, it's still standing."

On Oct. 3, Pi Phis finally got to see the product of their work when Debra Johnson's new house was dedicated.

"The dedication ceremony was such a moving event," de la Torre said. "I'll never forget how excited she was when they handed her the keys."

For years, Johnson's family had been cramped in a two- bedroom apartment.

"I lived in that apartment for like six years, and I swore I wasn't moving until I got a house," said Johnson, who shared her house with two of her sons, and her father before he went to a Texas hospital.

Although the house was complete, Jackson and de la Torre kept in contact with Johnson, becoming guests in the house they helped fund and build.

Johnson, who was a housekeeper for two sororities, said she appreciated the time the Pi Phis donated.

"It means a lot to me that a group of young ladies took some time — because I know sorority girls have a million other things that they do — took time to raise money for a house," she said. "I think that is how they'll be in life, go out of their way for others, and that's good."

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members met Pikes from other generations at the chapter's 85th anniversary celebration Sept. 18-20.

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. and 1958 graduate, was the keynote speaker for the weekend.

Roberts spoke at a banquet on the importance of brother- hood and his fraternity experiences. He also challenged actives to make the best of their years as Pikes and spoke about the organization's history and its future.

"Roberts told us to think about where we were taking the house," said Brett Gabrielson, president and senior in gen- eral management. "He asked us to consider how one person's actions affected the entire fraternity's past and future. It was a pretty powerful speech."

Pikes' plans for the future included a renovation project. Mike Holovach, 1998 treasurer and senior in accounting and information marketing systems, said the project would cost more than $1 million.

Following Roberts' speech, International Housing Direc- tor Dan Corah gave a presentation on the renovations. He also discussed possible fund-raising activities to help alumni with expenses.

"All weekend, there was kind of a debate going on about renovating. It was pretty evenly split in the middle," Gabrielson said. "Some guys thought it would be great, and some people said it was too much of a pain."

To help the chapter deal with renovation costs, alumni formed the Alpha Omega Alumni Association. The associa- tion, composed of six main alumni, created enthusiasm among the active members, Gabrielson said.

Julio Guerrero, 1998 membership development chair and senior in architecture, said the association would also help alumni stay in contact with active members.

"It set grounds for the development of a new Pike house," he said. "It made our chapter a lot closer to our alumni."

Others said the association's role would be more than financial adviser to the chapter.

"It will help them stay involved with the fraternity," Holovach said. "It also helps them stay acquainted with guys they haven't seen in a long time."

The group met for the first time Sept. 20. Holovach said they would stay in contact via e-mail and continue to meet two or three times a year.

Holovach said the idea for the alumni association origi- nated several years before. He said most succesful fraterni- ties had a similar association established within their chap- ters.

"The undergraduate fraternity is extremely pleased with the help of the alumni association," he said. "We hope to keep up relationships between us and make the fraternity the best possible."

In addition to meetings, the Pikes spent the weekend bonding with alumni. They tailgated before attending the Texas football game together on Saturday and ate brunch together on Sunday.

Members agreed getting to know the alumni was a good experience.

"I liked the fact that we had Pikes of all ages from all generations come together," Guerrero said. "That was pretty neat."

About 150 people attended the events at the house.

With such a large number of men attending, the anniver- sary weekend took months of planning and preparation, Gabrielson said.

"We had tons of little ends to take care of with 75 alumni being at the house," Gabrielson said. "We had three days of events to plan. There were guys working nonstop on this. The biggest challenge was working with Pat Roberts and his busy schedule."

Although working with Roberts' schedule created chal- lenges, Holovach said having him there made everything worthwhile.

"It's a pretty big deal to have a state senator speaking to us," he said. "I would say that was the highlight of the event. "

However, Gabrielson said he thought spending time with alumni members culminated the event.

"The weekend was definitely a success," Gabrielson said. "The best part was getting to know older alumni. It was 85 years ago, and the guys were very different, but the same traditions still stand. We have a bond even after all this time."

Guerrero said he realized the importance of bonding, but he appreciated learning from the alumni.

"I met a lot of successful Pikes," he said. "It was kind of neat to see how they were Pikes, and they went on to be successful in their careers. It was reassuring."

A Pi Kappa Phi member pushed his body to the limit for 63 days to help those who had physical limitations.

Phil Beatty, junior in speech pathology, rode in the Jour- ney of Hope bicycle trip June 14- Aug. 15 to raise money and awareness for people with disabilities. The event was spon- sored by Push America, the fraternity's own philanthropy.

"A couple of our national fraternity leaders decided they wanted to start an organization that Pi Kaps ran and that we could raise money for," Beatty said. "It's kind of like our own unique way to help society."

The trip covered more than 3,600 miles and went from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. Beatty said the journey had become a tradition for both Pi Kaps and the people they visited.

Each Journey of Hope team member had to raise $4,000 before he could join the ride. Beatty said he solicited dona- tions from October to May 1998. Tim Lindemuth, chapter adviser, said Beatty overcame factors that often dissuaded men from participating in the trip.

"What Phil did is what a lot of guys in our chapter dream about," he said. "Many don't get the opportunity for a couple of reasons. First, it takes a lot of dedication to raise that much money. Second, it is a great physical challenge. Phil had the drive to step forward and do it."

John Powers, director of special events for Push America, said he looked for riders with specific characteristics.

"We like to have riders who are good representatives of their universities and communities," he said. "They need to bring enthusiasm to the project as well as a message of understanding about people with disabilities to others. Phil demonstrated those qualities on the road this summer."

Beatty was the only representative for his chapter, as well as for the state, on the trip. He said meeting some of the others riders beforehand helped, but he was still apprehensive.

"I did meet about seven guys who were going to be on the north team in St. Louis in January at our annual leadership

conference, but that was only for a weekend," Beatty said. "I was real nervous the night before I went out, because I figured that everyone else rode a lot more than I had and that they'd leave me in the dust."

Beatty said everyone rode together for the first week to Nevada, then they split onto north and south teams. Beatty, a member of the north team, rode through 14 states and averaged 75 miles each day. He said although he didn't train as much as he should have, he cycled around Manhattan and rode and ran at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex to prepare for the trip.

"I had these nightmares of it being incredibly hard and that I wouldn't be able to do it," Beatty said. "I guess in the back of my mind, though, I'm stubborn and hard headed enough that I knew that I could do it. It was definitely tough, though."

Though the days were long and tiring, Beatty said the friendship visits, which were anything the riders did with people with disabilities, made the trip worthwhile.

"Any time we got to where we were with the people we were riding for, it made it all worth it," he said. "You forgot how tired you were or how sunburned you were."

Riders also performed a puppet show called Kids on the Block, in which some of the puppets had disabilities and others did not, for elementary school children. Beatty played Mark Riley, a boy with cerebral palsy who used a wheelchair and wore a helmet.

"We do it to dispel myths about people with disabilities," he said. "It's not that they're very different from you or I, but it's maybe that they're in a wheelchair, or they're blind."

Lindemuth said he thought the trip influenced Beatty as well as those he visited.

"I could see how much he changed as an individual," he said. "He's not afraid to go up to talk to someone with a disability and say, 'Hey, you're just like me.' Many would be uncomfortable doing that, but Phil has transcended that."

Hugging his father, Dean Beatty, Phil Beatty, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity member and junior in speech pathology, greets his family July 17 in Lincoln, Neb. The Beatty family visited Phil while his bicycle tour group stopped in Lincoln for the town's Push America Day. Phil bicycled across the country from June 14 to Aug. 15 in Push America's Journey of Hope ride. The organization, which was the fraternity's philanthropy, raised money and awareness for people with disabilities. Phil said people enjoyed the group's visits. "There's one lady that gets up early in the morning every year when we come through," he said. "She always gets a T-shirt, and it really makes her whole year. It's something she really looks forward to." (Photo by Steve Hebert)

Of her 98 sons, she had only given birth to three.

The other 95 were members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Barbara Podschun, SAE housemother and mother of three sons, said living with nearly 100 men was not difficult.

"When my boys were home, there were always five or six extra guys around," she said. "Even when they were in college, their college friends would stop by to see me or even stay the night. It doesn't seem that unusual to me at all."

Podschun, who moved from Augusta, Kan., in the fall, said living as a single mother for 23 years helped prepare her for the job. Her husband died in an accident, and Podschun raised her children alone. However, she said being a house- mother did not create as many challenges as raising her own children.

"People always ask me if it's deja vu," she said. "I tell them no, because these boys don't ask me for money or if they can borrow my car."

Although they did not ask to borrow Podschun's car, the men of SAE said they could ask her almost anything.

"She's great," Matt Heintz, sophomore in pre-law, said. "She's really cool. She's really easy to talk to, and she has a great attitude."

Podschun said the problems she helped the men solve usually did not require much more than sewing on a button or stitching a torn shirt. But she said they knew she would be willing to help them in any way.

"I'm not one to keep the door closed," she said. "1 think they know they can come to me whenever they want."

The men, Podschun said, did almost as much for her as she did for them.

"They bend over backward for me," she said. "Even if I look like I'm going to be carrying a sack in from my car, they're there to help. I feel like if I need something, they'll help me out, and I think they feel the same way."

Heintz said helping Podschun feel comfortable allowed the men to repay her for everything she did for them.

"I think in a sense it's kind of intimidating for an older lady to live with a bunch of college guys, but she's great," he said. "When you have a cool housemom, you want to do stuff for her."

However, Podschun said she considered the men part of her family, along with her biological sons. She said she found it easy to feel at home in the fraternity.

"It's like I have all these different families," she said. "I love it."

The SAEs said Podschun's willingness to improve the fraternity house and make them feel at home by baking or putting up decorations, made her a good housemother.

"She gets involved in everything we do," said Scott Miller, vice president and junior in construction science and management. "She's just amazing."

Although Podschun retired from her job as food service director for the Augusta School District, she said working as a housemother allowed her to stay active and be comfortable at the same time.

"My friends all can't believe I have it so easy," she said. "I've worked hard all my life, and now I get a nice change."

to celebrate their golden anniversary,

A

In November 1999, more than 1,000 alumni of the local Sigma Chi chapter would drive, fly and ride into Manhattan for their chapter's 50th anniversary.

That was the estimate given by Jack Marker, organizer of Sigma Chi alumni reunions and 1967 graduate.

Tentative plans arranged for alumni and their wives to spend the weekend of Nov. 13-14 in the Little Apple, busy with activities, including a banquet, open house, campus tour and talking with Sig brothers.

"I think it means more to the alumni because they're coming back to see their fraternity brothers for the first time in 30 years," said David Butts, fund-raising chair, 1998 president and senior in mechanical engineering.

Saturday afternoon, Marker said, most brothers would spend time at the house. He said many alumni had not seen the new house after the previous one burned down in 1982.

The banquet would be Saturday evening at the Holiday Inn. Marker said he scheduled Nelson Van Gundy, 1964 chapter president, to speak at the banquet.

"He was very inspirational to me because he used to chew on us pledges a lot," he said. "But once we were actives, he was as good as gold. He was very inspirational. He and I have stayed in touch during the past 30 years."

Marker said he had the option of scheduling a nationally- known Sig alumnus.

"I chose not to go with a nationally-recognized name, like Merlin Olson or David Letterman," he said. "Those people command a speaking fee. I would rather have somebody from the local chapter, who came up through the ranks and

was president of the house. Van Gundy provides an inspira- tional message about brotherhood and ideals."

A Sunday morning brunch, sponsored by the chapter, would be across the street from the chapter house in City Park. It would be the last scheduled activity.

"I'm going to hold down any kind of planned activities and let the guys do their own thing," Marker said. "That's what I want them to do: have unscheduled time, unstruc- tured time, to get together with the guys they lived with."

While alumni prepared for the anniversary, the under- graduates also looked forward to November.

"I think it will be meaningful to the undergraduates to see all the older guys showing enthusiasm," Butts said. "I'm looking forward to it. I hope to have a lot of the younger alumni back, see how they're doing and where they're at in their lives."

While looking toward November, the chapter planned improvements to the house.

"We're going to raise money to renovate the first floor," Luke Meek, president and junior in nutritional sciences, said.

He said the house was becoming worn down, and the renovations would be needed before the anniversary. Marker said he would visit the house to sit down with the officers and inform them what he planned to do.

"My philosophy and my purpose in this is to come back and relive," Marker said. "Whether you graduated five years ago or you were in the first class back in 1948, you can come back and spend time with the guys you went through the house with."

with heightened interest in philanthropy,

A cloudy day and chilly temperatures didn't deter Sigma Kappas from playing in the mud Sept 13.

The fourth-annual Mud Bowl volleyball tournament, at Tuttle Creek Reservoir, increased participation and gener- ated more money than past years for Sigma Kappas and their partners, Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. The event raised more than $2,000, which was split between the two organizations. Sigma Kappa donated its portion to Alzheimer's disease research.

Twenty teams competed, twice the 1997 participation.

"I was just hoping for 12 teams," Sandy Rash, foundation chair and senior in elementary education, said. "We weren't prepared at all."

Because of the increased number of teams and only two courts available for play, Sigma Kappas changed Mud Bowl from a double-elimination tournament to a single-elimina- tion tournament.

Besides the teams involved with the Mud Bowl tourna- ment, several fraternities and sorortities that didn't partici- pate donated money to the philanthrophy . Through involve- ment and donations, 90 percent of the fraternities and sorori- ties contributed.

Rash said the biggest part of the job was recruiting teams and spreading the word about the tournament. She said the increase in support came front radio advertisements and by word of mouth, but the members still went to all greek houses attempting to recruit teams.

"It's a lot of hard work, but it's worth it," Rash said. "When the day comes, you forget about the work."

Rash said most of the work involved recruiting teams, which members did by visiting the greek houses and pre- senting their philanthropy. The women had to keep in con- tact with prospective teams in order to ensure their partici- pation and financial contribution.

"Our house really pulls together," Rash said. "We love it. It's not a pain. We talk about it all year long."

eOk CD

A

Four to five Sigma Kappa members coached each frater- nity team. They arrived early Sept. 13 to wake players and have doughnuts and orange juice. Sigma Kappa coaches supported and encouraged the teams throughout the tour- nament, Miranda Smith, sophomore in textiles, said. Phi Kapps did the same for the women's teams.

Mud pits positioned between each court became a favor- ite spot to play and get dirty between matches, Smith said.

"They were really cool," she said. "There was one guy on our team that was older, and he told all the younger guys that it was tradition to throw the coaches in the mud, so the guys on my team threw me in."

Sigma Kappas offered a variety of other activities for players waiting their turns to play. Several participants began football and flying disc games. Kansas Parks and Wildlife employees also provided canoes for participants.

The day's cold and wet weather added to mud in the pits. Despite the cold, players still ventured into a big pool of water, known as Tuttle Puddle. Players used the puddle to cleanse themselves of the mud.

Although Mud Bowl allowed the greek community to have fun, for the first time, it also included Smith Scholarship House, Smurthwaite Scholarship House and Alpha of Clovia. Rash said the goal for years to follow was to include residence hall teams and independent teams.

Parks and Wildlife employees, and the state police also came out to watch the volleyball action, and KJCK-FM 94.5 did a live broadcast from the tournament site.

Sigma Kappas announced the winners at the end of the tournament. Tau Kappa Epsilon was the men's winner with Kappa Sigma as second place. The women's winner was Clovia, and Alpha Delta Pi received second place. The win- ners' coaches brought plaques to their houses.

"Except for the really cold weather, it was a blast," Jenni Latzke, junior in animal science and industry, said. "This is a good way to have fun and raise money."

young entreprenuer starts business

I1 i ling shirts on th

)

While spending time at bars, Tanner Mason, Sigma Nu member, decided to start his own business.

The senior in marketing started The Shirt Company, which sold bar T-shirts over the Internet.

"Most likely, I was probably sitting in a bar this summer, and I thought of it," Mason said. "I've always wanted to do something on my own. I realize the potential of the Internet. "

Mason bought the shirts from suppliers for $3-$8 and sold them over the Internet for $15. He said he asked bar owners for permission to buy the shirts from suppliers. In exchange, he gave them free advertising on his Website.

Mason said he started the company because of increased interest in the Internet.

"There are so many businesses and stores going up every day on the Internet," he said. "I thought of it, and it's something I'd never heard of before. That's mainly why I did it, because it seemed like a fresh idea."

Once he decided to carry through with the idea, Mason asked Grant Andres, Sigma Nu member and senior in man- agement information systems, to help him design the Website.

"He came to me over the summer and asked what he

needed to do," Andres said. "I told him I'd help out, and I've been helping ever since."

The site, www.theshirtcompany.com, was created in the fall. His page also appeared on two Internet search engines, Yahoo! and Excite.

Andres said he helped make the site prominent.

"When you go to a search engine, you want your name on top," he said. "I showed him how to get all of that done."

The company served two Manhattan businesses, Porter's and Boulevard Brewing, as well as two businesses in Boul- der, Colo. Mason said he wanted to expand his clientele to other businesses as well.

Mason said he wasn't the type of person to let an idea stay just an idea.

"I'm not one to sit around," he said. "If I have an idea, I like to pursue it."

Other Sigma Nus said the business displayed Mason's character.

"He's set goals, and he's trying to reach them," Davin Larson, senior in marketing and international business, said. "It shows he wants to succeed at something. It shows he's got devotion."

fraternities set house goal to

Besides academics and activities, alcohol was also part of greek life.

"Alcohol is something that's in college life," Mike Sarow, 1998 Delta Chi president and senior in civil engineering, said. "It's one of those fundamental things college is about."

That was an attitude fraternities wrestled with when alumni and national organizations urged them to go dry and, like sororities, ban alcohol from their property.

Among fraternities with resolutions to have dry houses were Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Nu. Those fraternities would join the already dry houses of FarmHouse and Alpha Gamma Rho.

To make the transition easier, many houses used a phase- out plan, gradually removing alcohol from events and areas of houses. Delta Chi was one house that chose to partially go dry but made no long term plans to go completely dry.

"This semester we had a couple of registered parties at our house through Greek Affairs, and we decided that this would be the last semester we'd do that," Sarow said. "We phased out parties at our facilities because that's usually where the main liability comes from. Next semester we're going to phase out drinking by people of age in public places,

2 0

therefore getting rid of the group-drinking atmosphere."

While some fraternities chose not to go dry, not every fraternity moving toward going dry used a phase-out plan. Beta Theta Pi went dry immediately in fall 1997.

"It's a big change for a lot of people," Rich Wilson, 1998 president and senior in landscape architecture, said. "I know there's a lot of houses going dry in the near future. People, I think, fear it because it's going to be a big change, but I think it's really beneficial for the greek community as a whole."

Despite benefits, Alpha Tau Omega chose not to go dry.

"It's just a house consensus," Gabe Graham, ATO presi- dent and senior in marketing and international business, said. "We have discussed it as a group before, and we didn't have one person say we should go dry. We won't go dry until nationals requires it."

Fraternities could find unexpected benefits to having a dry house, Wilson said.

"People thought it was going to hurt our rush, but we actually ended up having one of our biggest rush classes after the house went dry," Wilson said. "A lot of the guys anymore aren't necessarily looking just to party. They're looking for a lot more — a support system."

by prioritizing grades, involvement,

sig eps strive for award )

The men of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity spent a year working toward one goal: the Buchannan Cup.

The Sig Eps became a contender for the award, which was given every other August to the top 1 percent of chapters in the nation who excelled in academics, intramurals, social responsibility, community service, philanthropy, recruit- ment and chapter finances.

To qualify, a chapter had to obtain a grade point average above the all-campus average and stand out in other criteria.

"It's always in the back of your head," Matt Wildman, junior in pre-medicine, said. "It's always a motivational tool to get involved."

Although the Sig Eps accomplished the high standards to deserve the Buchannan Cup, two years before it was a remote possibility.

In fall 1996, the new-member class hosted a party where minors served alcohol to minors. The National Headquar- ters cited them with a risk management violation, revoked the Sig Ep charter and imposed sanctions on the chapter.

"We had to decide whether we were going to lay down and die, or get back up and say, 'Yeah, we may have hit a brick wall, but instead of standing there and looking dumb about it, we're going to climb over it,' " Aaron Clark, senior in marketing, said.

The Sig Eps completed more than 7,000 hours in commu- nity service and obtained the best GPA ever earned, a 3.05.

By fall 1997, the chapter regained its charter, but decided after performing at such a high level, it had a new goal in reach. The men worked toward the Buchannan Cup, awarded at the national convention in August 1999. K- State's chapter hadn't won since the mid-1980s.

If the chapter fell below the all-university average GPA, then it was automatically disqualified. With academics as the most important qualification for the cup, the Sig Eps posted class schedules and exam dates on their closet doors. Clark said that gave the men motivation to study. Members

also checked each other on grades and study hours.

"There is one guy in the house who I've had every single class with for the last two years," Clark said. "Every time we enroll, we pick the same classes, so I automatically have someone to study with."

The Sig Eps also focused on risk management. They decided to no longer have any parties at their house. Third- party vendors catered events off Sig Ep property, and the men made themselves personally responsible for other members and guests, Clark said.

"The first thing we think of any time we have a social event is 'What could go wrong? Could it put us in a situation like we were before?' " Clark said. "More importantly, 'Could it jeopardize the existence of Sig Eps at K-State?' "

They also worked to accumulate community-service hours. Wildman said they adopted highways, volunteered with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and went to Mercy Hospi- tal and nursing homes to sing Christmas carols.

"It was really fun to see all the people," Kevin Vanderweide, sophomore in business administration, said. "Even though we probably didn't sing the best, they were just happy to see us, which was rewarding in itself."

The Sig Eps also restructured their new member orienta- tion. The men introduced new members to the history of the house and explained why and how they won several awards.

"Instead of introducing the guys to alcohol, we take them on the campus tour," Clark said. "We want them to think, 'Wow, look at this organization I joined,' not, 'Wow, look how many kegs they have.' "

With the announcement of the Buchannan Cup winner close, the Sig Eps continued to work toward their goal. To continue contending for the award, Sig Eps recruited mem- bers who would carry on with their accomplishments.

"It all falls back to recruitment," Clark said. "Everything that you do and every angle that you take to preserve the greek system relies on the kind of members you recruit."

winning awards at convention,

sorority chapter honore

Leadership, scholarship and involvement paid off for Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority as members celebrated their 100th anniversary June 19-22 at their national convention in Washington, D.C.

Six members of K-State's chapter brought home five national awards, including Honor Roll Chapter and Out- standing Contributor to a Philanthropy.

Tri Sigma had to meet 10 of 15 criteria, such as chapter participation and scholarship among members to be named Honor Roll Chapter.

Kelli Benjamin, president and junior in accounting, at- tributed the number of awards to teamwork and coopera- tion.

"When a situation comes up, everyone works together," she said. "I feel confident everyone will help out whenever needed."

The chapter was also named Outstanding Contributor to a Philanthropy for its contributions to the Robbie Page Memorial Fund, the only philanthropy created by a Panhellenic sorority.

The memorial fund raised money to fund play therapy for hospitalized children. Page was the son of a past national president who died of polio.

"The memorial was originally founded to cure polio," Benjamin said. "When the cure was found, we decided to give money to play therapy."

Barbara Hollingsworth, junior in journalism and mass communications, won The Triangle Correspondent of the Year for her story and picture contributions to the sorority's national magazine.

Published three times a year, The Triangle covered colle- giate and alumnae activities.

Other individual members received awards as well. Ben- jamin received the Michael Welsh Scholarship for outstand- ing academics.

The chapter received the Outstanding Leadership for

Alumnae Advisory Board award, which honored a chapter with outstanding alumnae involvement in the house and the community.

Manhattan alumnae did a good job of contributing to the community and to the chapter, Benjamin said.

Alumnae support helped the women attend the conven- tion. Five of the women received funding help from the chapter and alumnae contributions to attend. As president, Benjamin was sent as the delegate for the chapter.

In addition to competing for awards, members at the national convention attended several different workshops dealing with issues from alcohol awareness and hazing to increasing involvement in the community.

Amy Reed, sisterhood chairwoman and sophomore in business administration, attended a rush workshop. Ideas women gained at rush workshops were used with the chapter's rush workshops to prepare for formal rush.

"It gave us new ideas for rush," she said. "We got ideas for different activities to do within the community to make the chapter and the community stronger."

Both Reed and Benjamin said improving the community and making a difference was important to the sorority.

Michelle Peterie, vice president and senior in biological and agricultural engineering, said the convention was an opportunity to unite with chapters from different parts of the nation.

"It was a unity of sisterhood," Peterie said. "It was a really neat experience to see the bond of sisterhood all across the nation."

Other members who attended also said sisterhood was emphasized during the convention.

"Sometimes, on your own campus, you don't realize how the national organization supports you as a whole," Reed said. "Sigma is a national organization, so if you need help, you know someone in Wisconsin or wherever will be there to help you."

working as referees allows tkes to

r

b* i ■ I

me work with

Intramurals became a pastime and a way to pay bills for Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity members. In addition to being active in intramurals, 10 members served as referees at Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.

The most popular sports to officiate included flag foot- ball, volleyball, sof tball and basketball, Matt Weller, junior in English and journalism education, said.

"It's an easy way to make money, and the people out there are really nice," Andy Beckman, senior in marketing and management, said. "A lot of guys in my pledge class went out there to work."

TKE members made up about 10 percent of the officials at the Rec Complex, Ron Miller, assistant director of intramurals, said.

"An ideal situation is we'd have 10 from every frater- nity," Miller said. "The TKEs and generally three or four guys from FarmHouse can be counted on for officiating going into the season."

Most fraternities didn't participate in the officiating side of intramurals, Miller said.

"I'd guess over half the officials are non-greek, and that is a big disparity between those playing and those officiat- ing," Miller said, "especially when the greeks make up most of the players.

"For example, generally for basketball we need 70 offi- cials," he said. "If we could have the same number of frater- nity members officiating as we do playing, we'd have a great officiating staff."

The number of officiating TKEs helped ease the burden of finding referees, Miller said.

"If it weren't for those guys, I don't know where I would be," Miller said. "They are also some of the better officials."

Officiating offered flexible hours, and referees could choose which sports they wished to oversee, Weller said.

"I mainly do the sports that I know," Andy Didble, sophomore in business, said. "Those are Softball, soccer,

basketball and flag football. Flag football is the hardest to learn because of all the rules."

Miller said the Rec Complex found employing officials for flag football more difficult than other sports because it was played in the fall and conflicted with many other activi- ties. Some TKEs favored officiating football over other sports.

"Flag football is my favorite," Beckman said. "I'm the most knowledgeable about it. I like being outside, and it's pretty good weather. It's always been my favorite sport to play."

Despite the fun referees had, they sometimes had to handle uncooperative players.

"I've been attacked twice by players who didn't like my calls, and I have been called names that shouldn't be re- peated," Beckman said. "Some people don't see it as intramurals, and they let emotions get in the way."

Other officials didn't have as negative an experience officiating.

"I've had people who argue quite a bit," Weller said. "The overall experience has been pretty good. Every once in a while you get a bad apple, but it's pretty civilized."

Officiating allowed for promotions, Beckman said.

After working as a referee, employees could become supervisors, where they trained incoming officials instead of officiating.

"It's kind of something I've always been shooting for," Beckman said. "It's kind of the place to be, and you're always excited about a promotion."

TKE officials helped the intramurals league, and also kept fraternity brothers involved at the Rec Complex, Didble said.

"With us being referees, it helps the house because with the new freshman coming in, we can teach them the rules right away," Beckman said. "It's also a good way to spend time with guys in the house."

theta xi members continue tradition of

r

academic achievement

Theta Xi's emphasis on grades paid off for one member in the form of $50,000.

Sam Halabi, senior in political science, won the Marshall Scholarship, which was awarded to 40 people each year to study overseas.

"The Marshall Scholarship was established in the 1950s by the U.S. government for the Marshall Plan, which gave economic aid after the war, Halabi said. "It is awarded to people to study for two years at any university in Great Britain."

Halabi planned to study comparative social research at Oxford University in London. He said the major would "cover the way people believe nations should work and discrimination."

Halabi applied to be a K-State nominee for the scholar- ship in February and was one of three to be chosen. He later interviewed for one of the 11 spots in the Midwest region.

"Tim Riemann and I flew to Chicago and interviewed," Halabi said. "I guess they thought we were OK guys and decided to give it to us."

Though he received the news of his award Dec. 1, Halabi said the idea was still not a reality to him.

"I think I'm still in disbelief," he said. "Until I'm on the plane to England, it probably won't hit me."

Support and congratulations from fraternity brothers made the scholarship process easier, Halabi said.

"I'm around some of the most amazing people," he said. "They helped me with every step of the application process and were very interested in what I was doing."

One fraternity brother in particular — Andy Macklin, junior in mechanical engineering — was especially helpful, Halabi said.

"I think I was most useful to Sam in providing my opinions and emotional support," Macklin said. "Those type of applications are extremely stressful for the person apply- ing. I think it's nice to have someone not directly involved

around to be an outlet."

Halabi was not the only Theta Xi to succeed academi- cally. The house had accumulated the top grade point aver- age among K-State fraternities for 16 consecutive semesters, ranging from a 3.05 to a 3.25. Macklin said the accomplish- ment defined the fraternity and helped it grow.

"The importance of grades is unsurpassed like nothing else," he said. "It's an achievement that perpetuates itself. It helps us to get top-notch members who then get good grades and keep up the GPA."

Members were not required to have specific study hours, and Darren Nelson, president and junior in mechanical engineering, said the house only had one minimum-GPA stipulation.

"If someone falls below a 2.3 for two semesters, they can't live in," he said. "We don't really have consequences, just rewards. People here are just personally responsible for their grades. It's kind of like an underlying theme, and everyone takes it seriously."

The emphasis on individual accomplishments carried over to the entire house, Halabi said.

"What we stress is each individual's desire to succeed," he said. "We expect the guys to want to better themselves, and it provides a real system of support."

Though the fraternity had a history of academic success, Nelson said Halabi's scholarship was impressive.

"It's neat saying you live with a Marshall Scholar," he said. "You don't realize the type of guys you live with until they win something like that. He seems like an ordinary guy, but he's extraordinary."

Extraordinary people like Halabi made living in the house a good experience, Macklin said.

"Living in an atmosphere with Marshall Scholars and people with high GP As is enriching," he said. "You can glean knowledge and viewpoints from them to apply to your own life."

triangle) fraternity offers scholarships

/;

to recru

New Triangle scholarships provided $500 but did not entice freshman to join the fraternity.

Roger Stumps, Triangle alumni president, said the Tri- angle Fraternity Alumni Scholarship unfortunately did not convince new members to join the fraternity as they had hoped.

"We were thoroughly disappointed with the number of responses we got," he said. "Not many applicants applied, so I feel like it really didn't make an impact on the campus like we thought it would."

Nick Pedersen, head of the scholarship committee and senior in electrical engineering, said the selection process was narrowed to five finalists.

"We personally interviewed the top-five finalists," he said. "It was a great way to meet top high schoolers who are coming to K-State who are eligible recruits for the house."

Scholarship finalists had to meet the criteria of possible Triangle membership and K-State admission, and had to have high grade point averages. Applicants also had to have been involved in communitiy and high school activities before coming to K-State.

Unfortunately, the two winners did not join the house, Pedersen said.

"One of the reasons we are promoting the scholarship is to recruit for the house," he said. "Even though the two winners did not join this year, I think it is a good way to meet possible members. This year's winners definitely met the criteria and had a lot of personality."

The two winner's names were not revealed because of a fraternity member's decision, Pedersen said.

"We decided it wasn't important who the winners are," Pedersen said. "What is important is that we are providing a good and positive way to help out incoming freshman."

The house alumni donated the scholarship money sepa- rate from the fraternity's original allotment of support, Pedersen said.

"The money for the scholarship had to be proposed to the alumni in the form of a separate check," he said. "We probably won't have the money for a scholarship next year, so we are proposing to keep the program going for the following year."

The fraternity hoped the scholarship money would be used to meet the required needs of the recipients, Damon Parks, president and junior in hotel and restaurant manage- ment, said.

"Originally, the money was written for scholarships and tuition," he said. "But once we found out that the recipients were for sure coming to K-State, we broke it down into personal checks."

The alumni were proud to sponsor the scholarship, even though it did not produce the outcome it was meant for, Stumps said.

"Anytime we can offer assistance to incoming freshman, we take advantage of it," he said. "Cost of college is continu- ally going up, so it helps the recipients, and it helps us promote the house."

adding leadership and opportunties,

alma form

436

A new leader emerged on the K-State-Salina campus.

Mariana LeBron, student life coordinator, said the new Hall Governing Board was beneficial in connecting students with student government.

"The new Hall Governing Board is creating a lot of student involvement and leadership positions," she said. "The constitution was written last spring, so this is the first official year."

About 200 of the 800 Salina students lived in residence halls. Nick Smith, HGB president, said the board was created to meet the needs of these students.

"Our main goal is to satisfy the residents of the halls," he said. "If the students aren't behind it, then there really isn't a need."

In preparation for the new HGB, Smith said seven people attended a student governing retreat in St. Cloud, Minn., with the Manhattan campus' student delegation.

"We attended seminars that focused on making resi- dents' lives better," he said. "I am really glad I didn't miss it. It taught a lot of valuable leadership skills."

At the end of fall semester, the HGB sponsored a party to

housing

relieve pre-finals stress, Smith said.

"We got together with local Salina businesses and had them sponsor a gift exchange," he said. "We also had food and played pool. It was fun."

LeBron said the attendance made the party a success.

"The holiday party had 70 to 80 people who attended," she said. "This is a big deal considering only about 200 people live on campus."

Looking to the future, the board intended to increase financial support and student involvement, Smith said.

"We're looking to do maybe an airplane wash to raise money this next semester," he said. "Elections are also com- ing up, and we plan to get as much student participation as possible. When I was first elected, it started off really heavy, and we had like 60 to 70 people attending board meetings."

Finding things for students to do on a smaller campus could be difficult, Roger Steinbrock, assistant director, said.

"This campus is full of engineers, so it's hard to find something everyone is interested in," he said. "The Hall Governing Board is really trying to promote activities for students to get involved, and I think this was much needed."

Some freshmen chose not to live in the residence halls because they wanted more room, their own bathrooms and more pri- vacy. They chose to live with friends or siblings. These freshmen just wanted to

off CAMPUS

Although it differed from the norm, some freshmen chose to live off campus with siblings or friends.

"It's different, but it's good . " Julie Sheerin, freshman in nursing, said. "You can choose who you want to meet. I'm very glad I did it. "

Sheerin, who lived with her brother Eric Sheerin, junior in pre-medicine, said she had moments of doubt but still enjoyed sharing an apartment with her brother.

"At first, I thought I should have moved into the dorms," she said. "My friends were in the dorms, and I had lived with my brother all my life. I was like, 'It's time to get out. ' But now I'm glad I have that little bit of difference."

Sometimes, the older roommate made moving away from family and friends easier.

"It was easier being away from home, and then it was good to have my brother there at times," Sheerin said. "It's been a good thing overall."

For Sheerin and Stephanie Settgast, freshman in agricultural journalism, living with a sibling was a matter of convenience.

"My sister asked me what I was doing, and I wasn't sure, so I thought about it," Settgast said. "I wouldn't have gone out to live on my own, but she's willing to help me. I go to the dorms to visit friends, and they

have a RA, and I have her."

April Hanna, freshman in horticulture, said she would have lived in the residence halls if she hadn't known her roommate, Stacy Long, sophomore in horticulture.

"I only did it because I knew someone already out there who wanted me as a roommate," she said. "But I have more space to myself. I like not having my roommate so close."

Hanna decided to live with Long, a co- worker she met while in high school.

"When I first got here, the only person I knew was my roommate," she said. "It was kind of boring, but then we went out more, and I met more people."

Settgast agreed living off campus made it hard to meet people, but she said she solved that problem by talking.

"You just talk to people in classes," she said. "If you talk long enough, you get to know each other, and I made some friends that way."

Settgast also said she knew with a roommate, there was a chance for personality clashes, something easy to overcome with her sister.

"We've always been really good friends, " she said. "I figured if we got in a fight, it would be just like at home. We'd get over it."

After leaving K-State in 1 993 to marry, she thought her goals were changed forever. But after a divorce, her dreams of becom- ing a teacher could become reality when she made the decision to

RETURN

Unemployment and raising a child were discouragements from pursuing a college degree, but Connie Briggs, senior in elementary education, worked to overcome the odds.

Briggs returned to school in 1996 to work toward her degree after leaving K-State in 1993 to get married and move to Wichita. Briggs lived with her 6-year-old, Noah Briggs- Schmidt, and her fiance, Doug Sellers, in Jardine Terrace Apartments.

Briggs said being a non-traditional student affected her schedule.

"It's completely different," Briggs said. "I used to stay up all night writing papers and that kind of thing," she said. "And now, I can't stay up all night. A little boy will wake me up, 'Mommy, it's time to get up.' "

Deborah Briggs, Connie's mother and professor in diagnostic medicine pathobiology, observed Connie's schedule.

"She tries to organize her time so she has time to study," she said. "She also has a very dedicated fiance who helps her."

Sellers said making time to be with Briggs was important.

"We spend the majority of the time together," he said. "When it comes down to it, family's more important than anything else."

By Clint Stephens

Though her schedule was hectic, Briggs said it made her prioritize.

"I think it's taught me to organize my time a lot better," she said. "I know that when I have an hour free, I better study because I'm not going to get that hour at nighttime."

Connie said her objectives had changed.

"Let's just say my goal is not to go to bars every single night," she said. "I think I feel really old because people in my classes have to tell me, 'Oh, I drank 10 beers,' and it's like 'Oh, that's an accomplishment?' My social life is different."

She said she was similar, though, when she was a traditional student.

"Now I feel like I don't get myself drunk. The last time I went out, it was really funny to watch 19-year-old boys getting drunk then hitting on me," she said. "It's just different. It's a maturing. I think it's more that I want to spend quality time with friends."

Connie had dreams about her career, but that wasn't the only future she thought about.

"I see myself teaching, hopefully, at a school with unlimited resources, have all the supplies you want, but that won't happen," she said. "I don't think so much about how I'll be working but how I'll be spending more time with my family."

He wanted a place to live while in college, but not just any house would do. With the help of friends, he constructed plans to build a house on his own land. The others answered an advertisement to live in the

HOME

When Bryant Avery looked for a house during college, he didn't find one he liked.

So he built his own.

"I had wanted to buy one for a long time/' Avery, senior in marketing, said. "I looked at several houses and didn't find one that I wanted to keep for five years or so."

Avery worked on the house, a split-level with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, for more than two years.

After buying the lot his j unior year, Avery hired contractors to start construction. He said friends volunteered to help, but he did the majority of the work himself.

"Friends helped with a lot of it and saved me a bunch of money," Avery said. "They helped me with whatever I couldn't handle. "

The house was ready to be occupied the summer before his first senior year, although he continued to work on the house during the year. Avery ran advertisements in newspapers asking for "fun, responsible people to live in a brand-new house."

"From the past, I don't like living with friends of mine," he said. "It ends up ruining friendships."

However, Avery said the people who moved in, eventually became friends.

Cliff Davis, sophomore in biology and pre-medicine, moved in his freshman year.

By Molly Mersmann

"Bryant is very nice and easy going," Davis said. "I think it's the luck of the draw that our personalities were all compatible."

Ashley Schmidt, senior in j ournalism and mass communications, and Kara Hight, senior in accounting, also answered the ad.

"It's worked out really good," Hight said. "Everyone's been great."

Although the house was completed, Avery said he was still working on finishing the driveway, as well as the landscaping.

"It's been a long, drug-out deal," Avery said. "We've been living there for a year, and it's still not done."

Avery fixed any plumbing or electrical problems within the house, but there weren't many problems, Hight and Davis said.

"Everything's great," Hight said. "It's almost all brand new. We haven't had any troubles so far."

Although each roommate had a private bedroom, the four shared a kitchen, living room and dining room.

Most of the appliances and furniture in the house belonged to Avery, and the others contributed to the house decor, with plants, furniture and kitchenware.

"Every time I come to this house it feels more like a home," Davis said. "It's not like a regular college pad."

When the Friel's left their home for the Netherlands, four students found them- selves reaping the benefits of living on a farm. Unlike others, they were free from

LIMITS

lour students said living two miles outside Manhattan's city limits felt more like home.

Kevin Henke, junior in agricultural economics and agricultural journalism, said he was excited to live outside of town because he was from a rural community. Henke said he and three other students were eager to leave the confines of apartments and move to a 23-acre farm when the opportunity arose.

"We're actually renting it from a family, and the wife is in the Army, and she got stationed overseas for a couple of years," Henke said. "They kind of wanted somebody to look after the house and keep it up. We heard about it and came out to take a look at it. We got it for the next couple of years."

Henke said they had more opportunities than students who lived in Manhattan.

"We have horses down here and a four- wheeler in the garage, and we can go up and shoot clay pigeons in the pasture," Henke said. "We just have more things we can do that other students might not be able to do."

Jack and Leah Friel, the house owners, weren't willing to rent their house to just any students for two years, Brian Shulda, junior in agricultural economics, said.

"They interviewed us to make sure we were the right people for it," Shulda said. "They were kind of particular on who they

By Leslie Elsasser

had. Being out on a farm like this, they wanted to make sure that most of us were from ag backgrounds and could handle any problems that took place around the house and that their house was in good hands."

Henke moved into the house after classes ended in May 1998 when the Friels moved to the Netherlands. The others moved in by August. Henke said the family didn't set rules for them but had certain expectations.

"I remember Jack saying before he took off, any rule as far as the house or what to do is treat it like you would any other place," he said. "He goes, This is your guys' place for a couple of years, but when I get back I expect it in pretty close the same way.' "

The roommates kept in contact with the Friels through e-mail but didn't have to write on any schedule.

"If something breaks, like we had trouble getting our furnace going, we call our realtor," Jeff DeFrain, senior in animal science and industry, said. "He told us to get a hold of somebody who came out and fixed it."

Adam Lundblade, senior in agronomy, said he was glad he had the opportunity to live outside town.

"I was tired of living in apartment complexes," Lundblade said. "There are people who would kill to live out here."

Although students lived with friends and family, some decided living with close friends was not what they needed. News- papers became their only choice to find a roommate when they realized they were

OPTIONS

By Maria Johnson & Molly Mersmann

Wanted: roommate to share three bedroom apartment close to campus, low rent, lots of room, washer and dryer, call 555-1231.

When looking for a place to live, many students turned to roommate wanted ads. Jennifer Maggard, sophomore in management, said she answered an ad because it was her only option.

"I needed a place to live, and I couldn't think of anything else," she said. "I decided to transfer late, and by then, all of my friends had apartments, so it was my only option."

Sarah Martin, senior in English who placed a want ad and answered one, said she understood why people would be apprehensive.

"I think a lot of people have misconceptions of what kind of people they are going to get if they answer an ad," she said. "They think they're going to get some crazy person. In all actuality, it's people like me and you who need a place to live."

Martin said the time spent waiting for a roommate was full of anxiety.

"I think one of the hardest parts for me is the anticipation of the person moving in," she said. "Once the person moves in and gets settled, it's exciting and fun. The hardest part is the month or week before they move in, and you're wondering what it is going to be

like. A lot of times, you think it's going to be worse than it really is."

Living with someone she had briefly met was uncomfortable at first, Martin said.

"You don't know how the other person lives or how they are going to react to things, and you don't know how to talk to each other or what to say," she said. "It's awkward, but it's not unlivable."

Sherri Auld, senior in mechanical engineering, answered a roommate want ad and agreed the beginning phase was difficult.

"It was kind of odd, like it was all their stuff, and we were treading on their territory," she said.

Maggard said being on an informal basis with her roommates helped them get along better than if they had been close friends.

"The thing is, because we aren't all best friends and hang out together all the time, we don't know each other well enough to be rude to one another," she said. "We are all friends, but not best friends."

Martin said since her previous experience with roommate want ads turned out well, she wasn't bothered by placing one.

"It's hard living with friends, and sometimes it's easier to live with someone you don't know," Martin said. "Then if there are hard feelings, it's not going to matter."

Nailing two-by-four boards together the morning of Feb. 25, Ramey Lehman, of Lehman Construction, works on a project at the Beef Cattle Research Center. The building would be a hay barn once completed. Construction signs and orange barrels were a familiar sight on campus throughout the year with K-State Student Union renovations, Fiedler Hall construction and Anderson Avenue expansion.

CampusTheatre in Aggieville closed after more than 70 years. Vamey's Book Store, north of the old theater, planned to use the space to expand its store, anticipating growing sales. Keen Umbehr, freshman in political science and former business owner in Wabaunsee County, came to college to study pre-law after he won a case in the Supreme Court. Manhattan businesses and students looked forward to the millennium, taking advantage of opportunities for change.

A Powerful Partnership

PHILIPS

The company competes successfully across a full spectrum of markets: consumer products, lighting, components and semiconductors, professional products and systems, software and services.

Nearly $8 billion — 20% — of Philips' 1997 worldwide sales came from the United States. Philips employs more than 30,000 people in North America — where consumers are in the vanguard of the worldwide trend that will drive future electronics sales: the convergence of entertainment, communication and information through digital media.

"Without question. ..an investment banking powerhouse" Wall Street Journal

from a wide range of career options across international locations. Further opportunities for development will con- tinue as your career takes off. But you won't be held back by bureaucratic structures.

If you think you can make an immediate contribution in a highly demanding environment, then take this opportunity to speak with us.

Raytheon

A History of Global Technology Leadership

Raytheon Company At A Glance

* One of the largest industrial corporations in the United States

* Focus on three core businesses:

- defense and commercial electronics (1997 sales - $15 billion)

- engineering and construction (1997 sales - $3.1 billion)

- business aviation and special mission aircraft (1997 sales - $2.4 billion)

* Over $20.5 billion in revenues

* More than $14 billion in defense and government electronics sales

* More than 110,000 employees worldwide

* World-class defense electronics and systems integration company

* Leading player in key commercial businesses

* Extensive US and international operations serving customers

in more than 80 countries throughout the world

* Strong operational and financial management

Throughout its 75-year history, the Raytheon Company has been a leader in developing defense technologies and in converting those technologies for use in commercial markets. From its early days as a maker of radio tubes, its adaptation of World War II radar technology to invent microwave cooking, and its development of the first guided missiles, Raytheon has successfully built upon its pioneering tradition to become a global technology leader. Through strategic acquisitions and mergers, Raytheon has acquired the resources of companies with equally distinguished records of innovation. Breakthroughs include the laser, the Surveyor lunar lander, high resolution satellite imaging of earth resources and magnetic anomaly detection services.

Today, Raytheon is focused on three core business segments: defense and commercial electronics; business aviation and special mission aircraft; and engineering and construction. Raytheon is a top-tier player in each of these segments. Each provides the company with the capabilities it needs to build on its strength as an innovator and to prosper in a highly competitive global economy.

Raytheon's $9.5 billion merger with Hughes defense operations and the creation of Raytheon Systems Company mark an important milestone in the company's history. Built upon the combined forces of Raytheon Electronic Systems, Raytheon E-Systems, Hughes and Texas Instruments' defense operations, Raytheon Systems Company is now fully equipped to meet the needs of its customers and employees — not just for today or tomorrow — but well into the 21st century.

Kansas State University's Royal Purple yearbook, volume 90

Cover/Endsheet

Silver silk screen and purple foil were applied to the black cover, which had no grain. Fonts were from the Helvetica family. Pantone 8143 CVC and black were used on the endsheets, which also used fonts from the Helvetica family.

Opening/Closing/Divisiort

Fonts were from the Helvetica family. Opening pages used four-color photos digitally submitted and enhanced with ultraviolet lamination. Pantone 8143 CVC was used throughout the opening section.

Many fonts were consistent throughout the book: body copy, 10-point Palatino; captions, 8.5- point Helvetica; and folios, 14-point Helvetica 95 Black and 12-point Helvetica Compressed.

The Royal Purple was printed by Herff Jones in Mission, Kan. The 512 pages, including candid pho- tos, were submitted on disk for a press run of 4,000.

The CD-ROM was converted into PC and Macintosh formats by Electric Tours, Austin, Texas, and pressed into 5,000 CD-ROMs. Please see the CD- -ROM for more information about its production.

Scholastic Advertising Inc. was the exclusive ad sales representative for the printed yearbook. Ads for the CD-ROM were sold and produced by the staff.

Shoot Yourself photos in the index were taken by Blaker Studio Royal at no charge to the students.

Copy for the yearbook was written and edited by the Royal Purple staff and contributing student writ- ers. Candid photos were taken by the Student Publi- cations Inc. photography staff. All pages were pro- duced on Macintosh computers using Microsoft Word '98, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and Adobe PageMaker 6.5.

The yearbook was distributed in the free-speech zone on campus April 26-28. The book cost students $24.95 if purchased before Jan. 1 . At distribution, the book cost $29.95.

STUDENT LIFE

General Design

These designs used the following fonts: Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, Arial Black, Arial and Utopia.

Special Section Design

These designs used the following fonts: Helvetica, Gills Sans Bold Condensed and Gills Sans Condensed. The section also used Pantone 877 CVC.

Section Editor's Note

The student life section is the coolest part of the '99 RP, but the biggest cause of stress for me this year. Still, I wouldn't trade the opportunity for anything. Thanks to everyone on staff and my favorite R2s for helping me out.

— Maria Johnson, student life editor

These designs used the following fonts: Trebuchet, AGaramond, Helvetica, Palatino and Futura Book.

Faculty group photos were taken by Photo- graphic Services, and departments were charged $15 per group picture.

I strove to include topics that altered the face of education, the tools comprising those changes and topics on the academic horizon while ensuring they all were of student interest, historic value and accu- rately reflected the academic world at Kansas State University.

— Clint Stephens, academics editor

These designs used the following fonts: Trebuchet and Optima.

Organization group photos were taken by Blaker Studio Royal, Photographic Services and Stu- dent Publications Inc. for a charge of $15 per 30 people pictured.

The main focus of the organizations section was to cover the main events and fund-raisers that caught the eye of the student body. It was also important to highlight new groups and profile the more unusual clubs.

— Amy Pyle, organizations editor

EDITORS' LETTER

As this year came to a close, the idea of living life outside Kedzie 101 became a welcome alternative to telling the story of those outside the building. There have been many stories to tell — from a man return- ing to school, inspired by a case he took to the Supreme Court, to students claiming "indestruc- tible" goal posts after K-State beat Nebraska.

The 1999 Royal Purple began when someone suggested the word "foreword" during theme dis- cussion at a summer workshop. Still, none of the word combinations discussed in the brainstorming session seemed to fit the year.- About 3 a.m. that morning, the theme crystallized into fast foreword. The book would be our foreword to a fast approach- ing future.

After that, we just had to do the best job we could recording the year's history while making predic- tions. But our experiences and the people we met defined this book more than anything in writing.

In spite of the cramped environment we worked in, our 15-member staff developed camaraderie.

SPORTS

These designs used the following fonts: Empire Builder Document, Nu Sans Demo, Futura Book, Futura Light, Helvetica and Trebuchet.

Team photos were taken by Photographic Ser-

Typical yearbook design and copy is boring. I wanted to make the sports section look and read like a magazine because I like magazines.

— Joel White, sports editor

^

J

These designs used the following fonts: Optima and Helvetica.

Individual portraits were taken by Blaker Stu- dio Royal at no charge to students.

In the housing section, 1 tried to capture stories that best described life in the residence halls, greek houses and off-campus. Advice for life: "After all, tomorrow is another day." (from Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind.")

— Shannon Delmez, housing editor

The Royal Purple staff can be reached at Student Publications Inc., 103 Kedzie Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kan. 66506, (785) 532-6555.

Oddly, it became visible after a day full of meetings at our fall yearbook retreat when we spent the evening shooting each other while playing laser tag.

It further developed at social gatherings at our marketing director's house. The house became the stage for an RP version of the "Dove Connection" and gave liquid relief to deadline pressures.

And those pressures seemed endless. Roommates wondered why they never saw us. We were jealous of people who slept more than four hours a night.

But the time paid off in a book we are proud of. After seeing one of our designs, one staff member kidded, "ESPN needs a copy of our book for design ideas." Not quite, but for two copy editors running the show, we're happy.

Fast foreword.

It describes the year and how we feel about this book. A year of reporting in words and pictures, designing, and marketing went into the 1999 RP. Now that it's done, we're not sure where the time went, but we're happy with the results and hope our readers are, too.
