lough travelers detoured from Kimball Avenue during football season, 49,762 Wildcat fans piled into KSU Stadium, in support of purple power, for the team's first victory against a ranked, non- conference opponent. Pre -game atmosphere was lively as students tailgated and socialized.
Amid physical, emotional and perceptional changes, the university maintained its core values established with its beginning.
"We should never forget those values," Mayor Ed Klimek said. "These are values we respect and honor about the people of the United States of America."
During the Tree Dedication Ceremony Sept. 11, Klimek said the American way of life had changed in a year. He said people in Manhattan should realize the values respected in the Heartland - family, courtesy and friendliness - were taken for granted here, but were not always practiced in other parts of the country.
While dusty bulldozers, orange cones, barrels and fences took over campus, the community atmosphere provided a sense of pride and belonging for students and faculty.

"People don't appreciate the outdoors or think of what you can do," Tyler Wamsley, freshman in construction science and management, said. "Most people think alcohol has got to be involved to have fun."
Wamsley and freshmen Adam Schapaugh, fisheries and wildlife biology, and Troy Walker, engineering, came to Rocky Ford to raft down the small but wide waterfall located about a mile below Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir.
"We live in Kansas and most people think, well, it's flat," Schapaugh said, "which is why we make it as exciting as possible."
Charles Sanders, assistant professor of history, said he believed students did not get involved in outside activities for a number of reasons.
"It requires getting up off the couch and leaving Aggieville," Sanders said. "It also requires a certain amount of planning. It could be expensive if you get out there and realize you forgot a sleeping bag. But once you do it, it's a lot of fun for not much effort."
With a roll of duct tape, a $4 air pump and two $12 pool rafts from Alco Discount Stores, Schapaugh, Walker and
Wamsley tested the limits of the rafts and stayed within the budget of the typical college student.
"Many people don't know about it, but they rent paddles and all kinds of equipment at the Rec," Schaupaugh said.
The Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex rented outdoor equipment such as canoes, tents, paddles and coolers to K- State students, employees and facilities members.
Aside from rafting, Rocky Ford also offered opportunities for canoeing, kayaking and fishing.
"A reasonable amount of college students fish out there because it's so convenient," said James Dubois, scout master and professor of interior architecture. "It's only 10 minutes from Manhattan by the time you get your pole in the water. There's a range offish in there. Some are good for eating and others are just fun to fish for - some will give a good fight."
Walker, Wamsley and Schapaugh agreed Rocky Ford had developed into a family fishing area with plenty of activities for anyone.
"We don't have beaches and mountains, but you also don't have to fly to the Konza," Sanders said. "Life's about making the best of what you have."

Eagle Scout or first-timer, anyone involved in outdoor recreational activities faced potential safety hazards.
Freshmen Tyler Wamsley, construction science and management, Adam Schapaugh, fisheries and wildlife biology, and Troy Walker, engineering, all Eagle Scouts of Troop 74, applied their knowledge of Ihe importance of safety to their outings.
Wearing life vests, bicycle helmets and carrying a long rope for possible emergency use, the three friends said they never went out alone and tried to always observe safety rules.
"You have to be careful when there's too much water," Schapaugh said. "Undercurrents can be dangerous."

WEAR AND TEAR took its toll on Memorial Stadium s field.
Its condition had become so poor that even the rock climbing club was banned from climbing the outside walls.
The football team had long since moved from the old stadium, club sports began weighing other playing field options and the K- State Marching Band's use of the facility all depended on mother nature.
Plans for artificial turf on the field began four years ago and ended when the new field and track reopened Sept. 9, Mark Taussig, university landscape architect, said.
"I kept throwing out the idea that if we put in artificial grass, we can play on it 24/7," Taussig said. "You put natural grass in there, and you're only going to get on there a couple of times a week if you want to use it as a game field where there is good grass on it for a game."
The installed turf expanded the playing area for regulation-size soccer, lacrosse and rugby games.
"This is the closest thing to a pro stadium we'll get to play in," said Jim Compton, soccer club member and senior in secondary education. "Compared to Arrowhead or some other professional stadiums, this field is pretty close."
The new field provided clubs with a home arena on campus, helped in recruitment for opposing teams to compete here and extended playing and practice time with the addition of eight 1,500 -watt metal halide floodlights.
Individual students had the opportunity to use the new rubberized track circling the playing field.
"I like to run outside a lot more than I do on a treadmill," said Holly Cribbs, sophomore in family and consumer education. "It's just really pretty out here and it's a good place to come and run with your friends or even just by yourself. It's a good place to run because there's lights and there's other people here."
With the renovations, the nearly forgotten, 79 -year- old field at Memorial Stadium was reborn, Taussig said.
"Part of school is learning and the other part is your extracurricular activities," he said. "(The stadium) is an important part of that extracurricular. Every time I go by there, there are kids out there or people in the community out running around the track. This has a new lease on life."

Friends, food, purple make tailgating a popular activity before football games
by Kristen Day & Matt Gorney
OUTSIDE KSU STADIUM, the smell of hamburgers on an open grill wafted through the sea of recreational vehicles. A football bounced off the pavement almost clipping a pedestrian. Grabbing the ball, a child passed it back to his grandfather as pre -game tailgating shifted into high gear. Fans came for quality tailgating time as much as the game.
Kelly Sheik, freshman in open -option, and her family had been tailgating for 34 years. Arriving at the stadium hours before game time, they pulled their Chevy Suburban into spot 513 — the same spot they had filled since 1968.
"My grandpa bought that spot right after the stadium was built," Sheik said. "Our family has had it ever since."
Wildcat fans participated in cookout festivities. Conversation ranged from personal lives to a bad referee call at a previous game.
Pre-game activities soared when fans knew the game would be televised. Extreme fans showed off artistic ability by painting bellies and faces.
They arrived three hours early to get front row seats at the K- State versus USC game, Sept. 21. While waiting, seven friends painted "KSU loves TBS" on their stomachs. On their backs, players' names and numbers mocked jerseys.
Mike Edwards, freshman in open-option, stood as the middleman with the heart drawn on his stomach.
"Every time we turned around the camera guy was in our faces," Edwards said. "My dad said he saw us on TV and we were on the lumboTron a lot."
A field northeast of the stadium provided an area for

greeks, among others, to tailgate.
Ben Davis, freshman in civil engineering, said tailgating pumped him up for the game.
Fans filled the stadium to capacity at opening kickoff. Supporters screamed as shaking keys and pompons added to the atmosphere. The clock counted down to the start of the game. For the next four quarters, fans got what they came for: a Wildcat victory.
As the game ended, lines of people swarmed out of the field and traffic jammed the streets.
"After the games, we didn't want to leave early because of the traffic," Sheik said. "So we played some more catch and tried to get rid of all the food."

Three women become models, pose nude in
Playboy magazine
by Lindsay Porter
ADVERTISEMENTS STARTED APPEARING in the Collegian in early April for Playboy magazine models. More than 50 female students responded.
Playboy Photo Team representatives interviewed women at the Ramada Plaza Hotel April 30 and May 1. Candidates needed to show proof of K- State enrollment, a valid driver's license and complete a questionnaire.
After the interview Sarah Vollmer, sophomore in business, said she was told Playboy representatives would call to schedule a photo shoot.
"When I was basically told that I had been chosen right then and there, I didn't believe it until I was called for confirmation of the shoot date," she said. "My photo shoot was the last on the whole tour for the Big 12, on May 4."
Two other K- State women were chosen for the project. Vollmer, Tristyn Rutledge, sophomore in open -option, and Shauna Cushman, senior in communication sciences and disorders, all opted to pose fully nude.
"Imagine yourself being dolled up for the camera," Vollmer said. "Your wardrobe, consisting of enough material to barely clothe an infant, is presented and you dress in front of these strangers who go about business as usual. Then a topless man with a hairy chest and bunny ears (photographer David Rams) says, Are you ready?' and proceeds to make you feel like the sexiest woman on earth. I was loving every minute."
The October issue featured 50 women in the 25th edition of the "Girls of the Big 12." K- State models visited two Dara's Fast Lane stations and Rusty's Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon Aug. 29 to sign autographs.
Dave Debes, junior in civil engineering and Playboy subscriber, waited outside Dara's on Fort Riley Boulevard with more than 20 men to have his copy signed.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity," he said. "It's worth waiting in line for."
After the publication's release, Vollmer said people had presumed she was promiscuous, easy, stupid and lacking in personality.
"I get a lot of static over degrading myself and other women by allowing nude photos of me to be ogled by men," she said. "Out of millions of women, I have been chosen to be published in a national magazine that has a readership of over 15 million people a month, but I can't properly enjoy it without someone making preconceptions about me. Playboy is a liberal icon. I am proud to associate myself with them."

Big; tykes little trikes
by Lindsey Thorpe
ROARING ENGINES resonated in ears of the cheering crowd. Tires squealed as the smell of burned rubber lingered in the air.
It wasn't quite NASCAR but May 15, Rusty 's Outback and Rusty's Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon transformed into a small-scale National Hot Rod Association racetrack.
Using rotating rubber pedals for acceleration and chrome handlebars for steering, volunteer drivers, hoping to win NHRA drag racing tickets, raced Radio Flyer tricycles with Budweiser decals.
The rules: go fast, stay in the lane and play fair. For safety reasons, intoxicated drivers were not allowed to participate.
"We're here to promote safe drinking and let everyone know why we think our product is number one," Scott Schon, Budweiser on -premise sales manager, said. "We want to bring young people together to have a good, safe time.
"We figured what better way than to simulate a race. There's nothing funnier than a 250-pound man on a 12-inch tricycle."
The weight of the contestants, however, proved to be too much for the tricycles, causing complications.
"The handles turned, but the wheel didn't," Schon said after a contestant collided into a picnic table. "That's what happens when you have big guys on little tricycles."
Kip Etter, Rusty's bartender, helped Schon tighten and straighten the two broken tricycles.
While waiting for the tricycles to be repaired, Budweiser girls roamed the bar recruiting willing drivers.
The races were organized in a bracket, single-elimina- tion style. Whoever crossed the finish line first went on to the next round.
Some participants raced for the tickets while others said they just wanted a shot at racing a tricycle.
Every contestant walked away with a Kenny Bernstein key chain. The top three racers, Kelly Katz, senior in elementary education; Scott Feldkamp, junior in secondary education and Kevin Zimmerman, senior in architectural engineering, received a pair of tickets to the NHRA drag races in Topeka.

KSDB spent more than $140,000 to open a state-of-the-art studio in the Union with new equipment, greater student accessibility, station pride
by Matt Gorney
AFTER WORKING three years to move into the K- State Student Union, KSDB-FM 91.9 began broadcating from a first-floor studio in the Union July 1.
The new facility caused a resurgence in pride for station personnel, Candy Walton, station manager, said.
"It is a store-front studio. It gives the students an opportunity to interact with the DJs," she said. "I am just really happy we achieved what we did. A more professional feel comes from being watched through the glass."
Andrea Hufford, senior in psychology, started working at the station her freshman year and agreed with Walton.
"I think our area and atmosphere is very receptive to the station," Hufford said. "It puts it in the public more."
Walton said the station's improved accessibility was one of its greatest benefits because the studio was seldom visited where it was located on the top floor of McCain Auditorium.
Personnel offices remained in McCain after the studio in the Union opened.
"It kind of sucks still having my office over in McCain," said Eric Hoopingarner, music director and junior in social science. "If I want anything in my office, I have to walk to McCain."
The station received more than $140,000 from the Union, Student Governing Association, and the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
The funds provided office equipment, studio accessories and construction and architect fees.
"We got all of the equipment we wanted, we just didn't get quite as nice as I wanted," Hoopingarner said. "It's nice, but it's not like top of the line. It's like mid line."
Although the equipment may not have been top of the line, it was considered better than the old, Hufford said.
"DJs are more likely to take their job seriously because of the newer, better equipment," she said. "They feel more respected."
Walton said the move to the Union was a product of efforts from the students at KSDB.
"Students eventually win the day," she said. "It may take awhile, but students eventually get things done."

numbers
more seniors create larger classes, longer ceremony
by Michelle Wilmes
WITH 655 GRADUATES, the College of Arts and Sciences boasted its largest class in K- State history.
Stephen White, interim dean of the college, said 270 more students received their diploma in May 2002 than 2001.
A rise in the number of students invariably put pressure on seniors to enroll in all of the required courses. White said transfer students and underclassmen often had trouble fitting in prerequisite courses because seniors were still signed up for them.
"Classes are to be capped at around 30 students, depending on the class," White said. "Most of the time, however, professors allow about a half dozen more to enroll in their classes to help the students out with graduating on time."
According to the Office of the Registrar, the Department of Biology and the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications have been the two largest departments in the College of Arts and Sciences in recent years.
"Because of the requirement of taking a life science in the College of Arts and Sciences, there have been some increases in the size of the class," Pat Hook, biology instructor, said. "The students aren't necessarily the ones who have a problem with the class size, though. Often parents are more concerned than the kids are."
Pat Bosco, dean of student life, said as long as freshmen and transfer students continue enrolling, there would be growth in the number of graduates. To accommodate those numbers, the university featured six graduation ceremonies in addition to the College of Arts and Sciences.
"It is important that K- State continue to emphasize classy graduation programs because it's a tremendous achievement to finish at our school," Bosco said. "The graduates do not do it alone. Parents, friends, family, spouses, children, grandparents and so many others, including many members of the K- State family, have helped."

candidate's attempts to educate students about voting have mixed respons
MASSIVE, BRIGHTLY COLORED BILLBOARDS and signs decorated Manhattan lawns and store-fronts during the fall campaigning season. Even with their smiling faces and catchy slogans, candidates struggled to lure K- State students to voting booths.
Tom Hawk, candidate for the Kansas House of Representatives, said running a political campaign involving students was part education, part entertainment and part persuasion. Hawk attempted to spark students' interest in voting by passing out fliers, organizing a concert featuring local bands and helping college students register to vote. Students involved in Hawk's campaign set up a voter registration table and answered questions about voting and Hawk's campaign.
"I think students are confused because they don't know where to vote or if they can vote in this district, even if they aren't from Manhattan," Hawk said. "Overall, students think they don't matter and their opinions aren't important."
Falling in the lowest voting bracket, 32.3 percent of 18 to 24 -year- olds voted in the 2000 national election.
"I believe voting is very important," said Keisha Clark, junior in political science and psychology. "People can't complain about the results of elections if they don't vote."
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, college students continued to make up the largest age group of non-voters.
by Rachel Von Uht
"You can't force it (voting) on college students," Spencer Stelljes, senior in political science, said. " Everyone has their own opinions about voting."
For some students, platform issues, such as taxes and social security, weren't of much interest.
"Most students are still dependents," Stelljes said. "We don't necessarily see anything coming back to us."
For a majority of students, voting was not a top priority on Nov. 5.
"I don't think my vote matters in the election," Liz Van Zant, freshman in business administration, said. "Politics confuse me, so I don't take much interest in them."
In an effort to get more students to vote, the Student Government Association hosted "Cat's Challenge," a competition against the University of Kansas. The goal of the competition was to get the most students and residents to vote during their respective football games Oct. 12.
Once the results were tallied, the losing school's SGA members had to wear the opposing school's colors at the Nov. 2 K- State vs. KU football game.
College students have valuable opinions they should share by voting and getting involved in political campaigns, Hawk said.
"Young people have faith and confidence in the future," Hawk said. "They should be taken seriously."

A 5-step program you can do anytime, anyplace
— Close your eyes and picture a place you like where you feel happy, comfortable, and relaxed. A warm beach, a cool forest. ..what works for you?
— Breathe from your abdomen, not your chest. Breathe slowly and evenly, and focus on your breath moving in and out. Yawn deeply to get oxygen into your system.
— Stand up and stretch. Sit up and stretch if you can't. If any stretching is too public, quietly tense-hold-release your muscles. Do it three times, holding for 10 seconds each time.
— Drop your jaw. Then, drop your shoulders. Gently roll your head from side to side several times. Keep picturing yourself in that place of comfort and relaxation.
— Return to the present and calmly move through your activity. As you do, think about your toes, fingers, and tummy. Make sure they are not flexed and tight, but rather loose and light.

SUNDAY NIGHT, 11 p.m. Your heart pounds heavily against your chest. Your muscles ache from tension and a massive headache pounds as you try to study for a final exam. Your significant other just broke up with you and your roommates are pissed off at you for something. Life is a mess and you feel you can't take it anymore.
Now what?
University Counseling Services was designed to help students deal with everyday issues. Stress and anxiety problems made up 68 percent of reported cases at Counseling Services.
"College is stressful for students because it is hard to balance academics, activities and relationships," Collin Curry, freshman in environmental design, said. "Relationships are hard to maintain in college because there are many distractions and so many different kinds of people that you might be interested in."
Of the students who used Counseling Services, 62 percent reported a conflict in their relationships with families, friends or their partner.
"College is stressful because you're really busy with school and involved with clubs and work," Kristen Ball, graduate student in accounting, said.
Due to the strains of learning how to balance academics, relationships and other college activities, Counseling Services designed an interactive Web site for students. The Learning Enhancement Assessment Program provided information about time management, test-taking strategies and other topics that decrease stress levels.
"What we do is real helpful to students," Fred Newton, director for Counseling Services, said. "Our bottom line is we want students to be successful."
Counseling Services was also involved in classroom education.
"College is a time to figure out what you want to do," Alex Cohen, career and life planning instructor, said. "For the most part it's getting to know about yourself and getting information to make decisions."
Thirty- three career and life planning courses were taught to provide help in improving academic and personal skills.
"I found out a lot about myself that I didn't realize," Jennifer Myers, sophomore in business administration, said. "It helped me figure out my values and what I want to do."

Commemorating the one-year anniversary of Sept. 11 had "He told us that this was the biggest shoot of our life
different meaning for individuals around the world.
For three K- State students, commemorating the one- year anniversary of Sept. 11 meant their original percep- tions would be altered. The changes in thought came as a result of attending the 15th Annual Eddie Adams Barnstorm Workshop for collegiate photojournalists in Jeffersonville, N.Y.
"You're rubbing shoulders with people who saw it first hand," said Evan Semon, junior in journalism and mass communications. "You can hear stories, you can read Time magazine and you can watch it on TV, but it's not like being there."
Karen Mikols and Kelly Glasscock, seniors in journal- ism and mass communications joined Semon as three of the 100 photojournalists attending the workshop, Sept. 9-12.
Of the 10 teams at the workshop, Mikols and Glasscock were assigned to the sports life team. Semon's team cov- ered Coney Island.
"Before we knew what we were doing and what our assignments really were, I think a lot of people expected us to be in these mobs of emotional people," Mikols said. "I didn't really want to be doing that because that's really hard for people. It can be emotionally draining for me, too. It's difficult to be in a situation where people are grieving in such a way. I was excited to go but I was also hoping that I wouldn't be in a situation where they weren't wanting me to be there."
Mikols spent Sept. 11 in the Bronx covering a Yankees game and Glasscock was in Central Park covering people playing sports. The leader of Semon's group had different plans for his team that day.
and that we should go where we want to," Semon said. "Not everyone went to ground zero but I went because I knew I would kick myself in the ass if I didn't go. How could you not go on such a historic day?"
The day brought introspection for Glasscock, he said.
"It was emotional enough just being there that one day," Glasscock said. "I couldn't imagine living there and living with that every single day. I was walking down the street and I was thinking to myself about the actual day of Sept.ll, 2001 and what people were going through - being right there, being in Manhattan - being evacuated off this island not knowing what was going on and hearing sirens, seeing all this smoke. It was hectic enough for me being there on a normal New York City day, I could not imagine what it was like Sept. 11 - during the attacks - that morn- ing and throughout that day.
"Then I think about it as a photographer. Would I be able to pick up my cameras and walk against the flow of traffic coming across the bridges to shoot this horrific scene of towers in smoke and New York City filled with ash? I don't know if I would have been able to make it in there and do some of the

of the University
With contributing factors from all sides of campus, K-State experienced one of its most innovative years in recent history.
Some of these distinctions were shown for the first time in 2003, while others were improvements and reflections on the university's foundations.
More than $100 million was spent on technological advancement and construction projects through univer- sity and public funding to enhance the attractiveness of campus.
Coping with a $9.3-million university budget cut, classes were combined and faculty positions closed, but the strength of the educational programming was not affected, said Dean Terry King, College of Engineering.
That strength was evident in the student achievements, which were a direct reflection of the excellence, expertise and dedication of K-State faculty, President Jon Wefald said.

Ahearn Field House
Built in 1951, Ahearn was named in honor of Michael F. Ahearn, former K- State professor, coach, head of the Department of Physical Education and athletics director. It was built to improve facilities for basketball and indoor track events.
"It cost $1.65 million to build," Mark Taussig, university architect, said. "It was the first building to be completed under President James McCain."
Once the basketball games were moved to Bramlage in 1988, the building was redesigned for volleyball, track, tennis and vari- ous other indoor activities. Ahearn has a capacity for 11,700 fans.
All Faiths Chapel
Located on Vattier Street, All Faiths Chapel was dedicated as a memorial to the K- State men who sacrificed their lives in World War II and the Korean War.
Exceptional care was taken in the design of the chapel to achieve proper acoustical balance for solo instruments and string quartets while assuring sufficient resonance for organ music. Featured in the chapel was a 40 - rank pipe, installed in 1961.
With seating available for 465, the chapel was used for everything from weddings and memorials to music classes and concerts.
INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN SCULPTOR Patrick Dougherty created an on-site sculpture Oct. 21 to Nov. 8 at the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. Visiting cities around the world, he built organic sculptures using saplings, willow branches and limbs found in local surround- ings. "The sculpture will be up about 18 months to two years," Lindsay Smith, exhibition designer, said. "The museum will take it down when it no longer looks good." — Photo by Drew Rose
Anderson Hall
Built from 1879 to 1884, the Practical Agriculture Building contained a canteen, barbershop, chapel and college library.
Anderson Hall became the offi- cial name of the building in 1902 when named for John Alexander Anderson, the second president of Kansas State Agricultural College.
Today, the building houses offices for student services such as academic services, admissions, the budget office and the Office of the Registrar, as well as administrative offices.
Butterfly Conservatory
Home to hundreds of native butterflies, the colorful insects could be seen fluttering near the Butterfly House. The garden was dedicated Sept. 21, but the official opening and dedication of the exhibit was Oct. 8, 1999.
Lee Creek Gardens, a sponsor of the garden, has supplied annual flowers each year to complement the perennial plants, which attracted butterflies. Searching for nectar among the flowers, the butterflies were free to fly among visitors.
Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art
Housing creations by famous artists, the Beach art museum was located on the southeast corner of campus.
The $2-million museum, named after a K-State alumna, opened Oct. 13, 1996. Since then, more than 4,000 works of art have been showcased through permanent displays, while traveling pieces were displayed for variety.
An exhibit by artist Tony Fitz- patrick was on display from Oct. 1 to Dec. 15. The four- color etchings of Max and Gaby's Alphabet, was named after his two children and included a print for each letter of the alphabet.
Power Plant
Generating light, heat and power for the campus, the Power Plant was as an essential part of

K- State. Costing $150,000 in 1927 and an additional $165,000 in 1928, the building replaced an 1882 power house that was located in the shop area north of Seaton Hall.
Standing tall above the campus was the lone smokestack.
The Power Plant had a total of seven boilers, two no longer in operation, that created steam for the plant. A portion of the steam that went out of the compound came back as water to the Power Plant, allowing for partial recy- cling, Delvin Winfough, electronic control center technician, said.
The Power Plant did not supply all the energy for the campus, and also used substations and energy from Westar Energy.
President's Residence
Simply known as Wefald's house, the $29,391 home built in 1923, was located at 100 Wilson Court.
Looking at the outside, one saw characteristics of a country French house, with ivory stone walls and a steep roof. People were drawn to the native limestone that harmo- nized the house with the rest of the campus, Ruth Ann Wefald said.
"The thing I love is that the house was built in 1923 and it stands the test of time," she said. "It really is just like a timeless building. I think that is one of its unique features."
The house was remodeled in 1997 to upgrade equipment and to expand the kitchen and add a garage.

Regression
Millions of dollars lost in Kansas revenue forced budget cuts across the state. K-State administrators reviewed finances and asked colleges to cut more than $9.3 million for fiscal year 2003. To compensate for part of the lost money, student tuition increased 25.1 percent. Individual colleges adjusted course loads and faculty positions to lower operating budgets.

College of Agriculture
Counting $493,000 in teach- ing operations and more than $4.5 million in research and extension, agriculture lost 6.64 percent of expenses after its tuition allow- ance.
Dean Marc Johnson said there was no operating money after internal allocations, so the college recovered the deficit by perma- nently closing six vacant teaching positions.
Individual departments deter- mined ways to provide more effi- cient teaching operations. Some smaller classes were closed while others were consolidated, piling additional students on professors.
College of Architecture, Planning and Design
Cutting 4 percent of its oper- ating expenses, architecture, planning and design cut faculty
travel from the budget. Hoping to save money in office expenses, the administration and faculty limited copying and took advantage of Internet and e-mail, Dean Dennis Law said.
"We're small, and we have list- servs to send out announcements to faculty and students," he said. "It's something we should probably do anyway."
To meet the $198,473 shortfall, some vacant faculty positions were closed.
College of Arts and Sciences
The largest college on campus lost a total of $1.57 million due to budget reductions. The college's tuition allocation made up for all but $520,000.
"We're at a critical point right now," Interim Dean Stephen White said. "It's high on our priority to protect the instructional programs
in the college."
Because many arts and sciences courses were taken by freshmen and for general education credit, the col- lege did not want to cut class ses- sions, White said.
To ease the financial burden, the college also recruited fewer faculty than past years.
College of Business Administration
Cutting 4 percent from instruc- tional funding, the college struggled to make up for the $215,343 budget shortfall, Dean Yar Ebadi said.
Business students were charged an additional $5 per credit hour. Although the college used 100 percent of the allotment toward retention of faculty, it put a freeze on three vacant positions, reduced the number of graduate teaching assistants and cut summer research
grants.
The college also dismantled five classes comprising the honors program and ended 19 years of financial support to the Small Business Development Center after December.
College of Education
Although education cut $252,409 in spending, it did not want the deficit to adversely impact students, Dean Michael Holen said, so no classes were closed. The col- lege cut temporary and part-time positions totaling the equivalent of five full-time positions. Faculty were also restricted by limited sup- port for travel reimbursements, Holen said.
College of Engineering
Engineering added a $5 per- credit-hour surcharge to students
to maintain faculty salaries after $529,692 was cut from its budget. The 3 -percent deficit was partially restored through gifts and research contracts, Dean Terry King said.
"This is pretty serious," King said. "We attempted to make sure students weren't affected."
College of Human Ecology
Asked to cut 3.5 percent - $194,473 - from its general fund, human ecology withheld an addi- tional 4 percent in anticipation of future callbacks, Dean Carol Kel- lett said.
She said the college split the budget crunch into three parts - not filling five vacant faculty positions, using its tuition allotment effec- tively on operations, equipment and technology and using undesig- nated funding to retain all sessions in course schedules.
Stages of Regression | 39
Student Government Association President Zachary Cook
Cook represented 22,000 students, though he said he tried not to stand out.
"I didn't like to get introduced as the president," said Cook, senior in biological and agricultural engineering. "Get to know me by my merits, not by my title."
Cook represented students at banquets and city-level meetings. He helped with long-term university planning on the alumni board and with university administrators.
"It's hard work," Cook said. "I wasn't that easy to work with in the beginning, but I'm learning to compromise and work with people, trying to work toward a common goal. It's definitely a test of patience to deal with different people."
K-State Honorary Family
A loyal K-State family, the Hooblers became K-State's 2002 Honorary Family. Tina Hoobler, senior in agricultural economics, said she wrote the winning essay because she wanted to let her family know how much their support meant to her.
Tina, along with her parents, Larry and Diane Hoobler, and her sisters Tammy and Tonya received the award at K- State's Family Day activities, Sept 28.
Aaron Jantz, Intramural Manager
An important figure in intramurals, Jantz, senior in finance,
completed much of the behind- the-scenes work for thousands of students who participated in the program.
"I was in charge of getting the officials ready and training them," Jantz said. "Then on a regular day, I gave out assignments. I would also set up events and supervise them."
Jantz not only supervised, but played as well.
"When I came up to K-State, I already knew some older guys," he said, "so we started a team and then played all of the sports."
Scholarship Nominee Darcy Kern
Nominated for two prestigious scholarships, Kern, senior in history, pre-law, Spanish and French with a minor in leadership studies, was the only student selected as a nominee for both the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships.
Both scholarships offered between $40,000 and $60,000 to support a student studying in England for two years .
Black Student Union President Paris Rossiter
Founded in 1969, the mission of the BSU, according to the organization's Web site, was to communicate the academic, cultural and social needs of black students as well as others in the college community.
Rossiter, junior in art, represented the 34-year-old organization.

Student Union, I am a spokesperson and delegate to the greater campus," Rossiter said. "I hope I speak well for the Union."
Although he was president, Rossiter said he let the people lead.
Greek Affairs President Jeffrey Rundle
Representing the 4,000- member greek community challenged Rundle, senior in civil engineering.
"I was in charge of eight officers in the executive council," Rundle said. "We also had biweekly meetings and an executive meeting at the end of each semester."
As a former chapter president of Beta Theta Pi, Rundle's focus shifted to a larger scale, Rundle said.
"I had to make sure we all did everything right," he said. "It's a bigger job."
Willie the Wildcat
A time-honored tradition at K- State, Willie the Wildcat represented the spirit of the university.
The selection of Wille, which occured in late April with the cheer squad tryouts, was based on a performance of a comedy skit using creativity and enthusiasm.
He performed at tailgates, and at home and away football games, including postseason play. He was also present at most home basketball and volleyball games.
One of the most recognizable faces on campus, the identity of the man behind the mask has always remained a secret.

Arlo Biere, professor of agricultural economics
As undergraduate program coordinator, Biere organized fac- ulty advising, recruited prospec- tive students and looked for ways agricultural economics could better meet the needs of students through their educational experiences, job searching and life, he said.
"I try to make students feel comfortable," Biere said. "I use fair Socratic questioning in class. Learning should be a conversation. It's more interesting for students."
Gary Coates, professor of architecture
Encouraged by former students, Coates came to K- State in 1977 for the quality of the architecture pro- gram and administrational leader- ship, he said.
Coates' fall 2001 design studio was awarded the top American Institute for Architects Education Honor for their project on afford- able housing for Manhattan. The fall 2002 class continued working on research and designs.
"The project had students tack- ling real-world issues," Coates said. "It's an honor to be able to work with young people to help them become who knows what."
Michael Finnegan, professor of sociology, anthropology and social work
When students were interested in forensic pathology, they were sent to Finnegan. Because there was no program for forensic sci- ence, Finnegan worked with stu- dents to find classes in the medical or criminology fields to fulfill their dreams, he said.
"Usually the students who come around are better students," Finnegan said. "It's nice to be able to help somebody get in the right classes and talk to the right profes- sors."
Finnegan helped students find internships in areas of forensic pathology and pre-medicine. He was responsible for the museology
interns where students worked in museums.
Marjorie Hancock, associate professor of elementary education
Part of Hancock's work in ele- mentary education involved work- ing with professional development schools where students worked as student- teachers to gain experience. Hancock also worked with public school teachers to supervise K- State students.
She said she encouraged volun- teerism for students to work with children as well as active participa- tion in class discussions.
"I challenge them academi- cally," Hancock said. "I have high expectations but provide informa- tion they need to be good teachers, so they'll be the best teachers they can be."
Carol Ann Holcomb, professor of human nutrition
Chair of academic affairs for the College of Human Ecology and a member of the Institute Review Board on human research, which monitors safety of research on human participants, Holcomb joined the K- State faculty in 1979.
"I help students by providing them with a positive experience in classes through learning, direction in academics, being supportive and respectful and helping each one to meet their full potential," she said. "I spend a lot of time with students. I take an interest in students' per- sonal lives - where they come from, their goals, what they enjoy."
Ray Hightower, assistant dean of engineering
Hightower advised more than 200 general engineering students.
"I like working with students and helping with their problems," he said. "It keeps me young."
No longer instructing students in the classroom, Hightower used his experience in engineering and at K- State to present orientation sessions and chair a committee for
academic standards within the Col- lege of Engineering.
Hightower devised a study guide tailored for engineering students that emphasized the importance of study skills.
He encouraged students to participate in engineering activi- ties because they develop people and team skills, Hightower said. He also helped initiate Mentors for International Experiences in May 2002 and the Engineering Ambas- sadors Association in 1981.
Swinder Janda, associate professor of marketing
In 1997, after completing doc- torate work at the University of Arkansas and moving to Southern California, Janda returned to the Midwest to teach at K- State.
"I stayed because I like the students," he said. "They are really nice and getting along makes life easy and more fun."
For his marketing research class, Janda gave students projects to analyze data as opposed to read- ing books and taking exams.
"I make them think," he said. "That's what we're here for - to think in situations and figure out solutions."

A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Com- munications Media Lab
Small, unmarked and highly technological like its namesake, the Bat Cave, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications' media lab, was the most technologically advanced room in Kedzie Hall.
The total investment of $100,000 supplied students with top - of- the -line technology in audio and video editing equipment. The lab was open to all branches of the journalism and mass communica- tions curricula.
Bioterrorism Facility
The state of Kansas received $1.67 million to prevent terrorist attacks on agriculture.
Part of that money was used to build a diagnostic and response facility at K- State. The site helped protect plants and animals from ter- rorism-related biological threats.
Since food and animal sciences were so closely integrated, faculty, staff and students in the building worked closely with the College of Veterinary Medicine.

physics and Jing Li, graduate in physics, developed a micro -sized optical element that could produce and detect light.
Work on the project began immediately after Jiang's arrival on campus in 1988.
The optical structure's diam- eter was smaller than a human hair and based on one Ill-nitride wide band gap semiconductor. It had the potential to save billions of dollars in energy costs globally, and increased a light or display's lifetime by almost 1,000 percent.
Principles of Biology Studio Lab
Designed with the idea that students learn differently, the Prin- ciples of Biology Studio lab served 800 students every semester.
With two professors, two gradu- ate teaching assistants and three practicums monitoring each of the 10 sections at all times, the biology lab was the only one of its kind in the country. In the lab were 44 Gateway computers and an assort- ment of dissecting and compound microscopes.
Total value of the lab was esti- mated at about $2 million. Sections of 80 students each were in the lab daily from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 7 to 9 p.m.
Technology in the Classroom
In a year ruled by budget cuts, technology in the classroom proved to be vital and cost-efficient. Equipped with computers, ELMO projectors, televisions, VCRs and wireless microphones, instructors in Bluemont, Cardwell, Dickens, Kedzie and Seaton halls saved space, time, paper and money by teaching in an audio-visual format as opposed to the traditional hand- out-and-lecture style.
"I am specifically interested in exploring how to expand the use of visual information in my courses," Harald Prins, professor of anthro- pology, said. "Communication has become extremely visually oriented. Students nowadays are much more visually oriented than in the past. They read fewer books and see more television. In the classroom
you cannot permit yourself to have dead moments."
Terry C. Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research
Located in the new addition to Ackert Hall, the Terry C. Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research featured administrative and devel- opmental offices, as well as an educational outreach room.
The center was named after Terry Johnson, cancer researcher and university- distinguished pro- fessor. Johnson lost his own battle with cancer two weeks after the center was renamed in his honor. "Dr. Johnson is so deserving of this honor," President Jon Wefald said. "Terry's accomplishments for the cancer center (and) for the division of biology over the years, were truly extraordinary."
The center also housed admin- istrative offices for BioServe Space Technologies, a NASA commercial space center, which Johnson had directed.
Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Radiology Section
A $1 -million renovation gave one of the top veterinary medicine programs in the country cutting- edge technology in the field.
To accomodate the new com- plex technology, the College of Veterinary Medicine renovated three rooms in the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital with copper-shielded walls, doors and windows.
"We have purchased the most technologically advanced equip- ment available," Dr. Roger Fing- land, director of the hospital, said. "We have cross-sectional imaging capability that parallels human medicine and is unsurpassed in veterinary medicine."
Used on small animals and horses, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging assimilated multiple X-ray images into a cross-sectional image and examined internal structures of the body. The equipment, rarely available for large animals, offered the same specialized medical care used on humans.

Calvin Hall
Construction calmed safety concerns about Calvin's new entrance, which took 105 days to complete.
The old entrance had a steep slope, which, during winter, became icy, causing students to slip.
"Calvin Hall is somewhat unique in that both sides of the building could be considered to be the front," said Sondra Visser, budget director for the College of Business Administration.
Visser said the new entrance was installed on the west side of the building because most students entered from that side.
Chalmers Hall
Home to the Terry C. Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research, the 56,000 -square -foot addition to Ackert Hall included 12 new cancer research laboratories.
The center included eight research suites, departmental offices and four instructional labs. Once built, it gave instructors and students needed space for class- rooms and research laboratories.
The $11.9 million addition was constructed on the east side of Ackert and named in honor of John Chalmers, a former dean of the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences.
Grain Science Center
The Department of Grain Sci- ence and Industry began construct- ing a $60 -million Grain Science Center in September.

The center was funded through public and private funds. The new Grain Science Center thrived with updated equipment and facilities.
K- State was the only campus internationally offering bachelor's degrees in baking science, feed sci- ence and milling science through the grain science and industry department.
The building program included constructing five buildings - a feed mill, flour mill, bioprocessing and industrial value-added program, international grain center and teaching research building.
"The facilities we were in were old," Brendan Donnelly, grain sci- ence department head, said. "We needed to bring our facilities and equipment into the 21st century."
Herbarium
More than 185,000 specimens of plants were housed in the oldest, largest and most diverse herbarium in the Great Plains. Due to the amount of preserved plant speci- mens, staff started a computerized database.
"A database of specimens never replaces specimens," said Carolyn Ferguson, assistant professor and curator of the herbarium. "A data- base made them more accessible."
Information ranged from a plant's scientific name, to its habitat, to what insects pollinated on it.
KSU Stadium
$800,000 worth of artificial grass replaced the 11 -year- old turf on Wagner Field.
FieldTurf was chosen because it allowed a safe ground for athletes. The turf reduced motion-related injuries and allowed players to wear cleats without ruining the field.
FieldTurf used coated fibers, and an open weave system that combined Nike Grind rubber and sand infilling.
Because of postponed construc- tion, the April 27 Spring Game was

not played at the stadium. The field was completed in June for football conditioning.
Peine Gate
Located on the southwest corner of campus, the gates reading, "Kansas State University, Founded 1863" welcomed visitors to K- State. The two 45 -foot- wide and 10 foot- high sections of the limestone gate replaced the gate donated by the Class of 1916.
Caroline Peine, former assistant dean of student life, and her brother, Perry Peine, donated funds for the gate on behalf of their family. Two markers were saved from the old gate and were embedded into the new gate's west side.
Union Forum
To meet American Disabilities Act requirements for Forum Hall, the K- State Student Union spent $166,000 on renovations.
Construction on the updated installments began in June and ended in December.
The entrance of Forum was replaced with automatic doors and the restrooms were updated to accommodate a disabled person. An automatic lift was installed on the stairs and several seats were designed for wheelchairs.

Escaping the distractions of noisy neighborhoods, ringing telephones and the lures of the television screen, some students found the best way to focus on schoolwork was to retreat to lesser-known hideaways \JL around campus.
Seclusion
Bluemont Bell
The 513 -pound bell, donated by Joseph Ingalls to the Bluemont College in 1861, moved to Ander- son Tower in 1882 until 1995 when it was moved between Bluemont, Holton and Dickens halls.
Mounted on a 7-foot high struc- ture supported by four light poles, the bell hung above the benches used for studying or relaxing.
"I see a lot of students studying," said Rebecca Kline, senior in family studies and human services. "It is one of the biggest and nicest bench areas on this side of campus."
Cat's Pause
Contemporary furniture, tran- quil lighting and a gas log fireplace in Cat's Pause were designed to be part of a living room for students longing for home, said Libby Stauder, marketing and promo- tions manager for the K-State

"The comfy atmosphere with the fireplace and chairs leads to little intimate corners where people can have conversations or curl up with a book," she said. "It is a highly uti- lized space by the students."
Clock Area
Situated on the north side of Holtz Hall, students sat on wooden benches surrounding a four- sided clock. Kevin Halbach, 1975 senior in architecture, and James Shepard, university architect, designed the area completed in 1975.
The glass dials of the 13 -foot tall clock, gifts from the classes of '68, '71, '73 and '74, were lit at night.
Durland Pyramid
Shaded by the limbs of the tall panicled goldenraintrees, a concrete pyramid created by the former engineering honorary Sigma Tau, marked the accomplishments of engineering students. Previously located in front of the east doors of Ahearn Field House, the pyramid was moved to the southeast corner of Durland Hall in 1987.
According to Kansas State Collegian archives, benches were installed around the planters in 1990 to enhance the beauty of the area and keep skateboarders from causing damage.
Farrell Library Great Room
A cathedral-like ceiling and 75- year-old wooden tables on the third floor of Hale Library contributed to
what Pat Patton called one of the best-kept secrets on campus.
"The beauty and size of it creates a tranquility that is very conducive to studying," Patton, university archives research specialist, said. "It's like what you would see of a college in the movies. It's so elegant, it surprises people."
Grover C. Cobb Memorial
Visible from the south side of campus, a set of KSAC radio trans- mitter towers marked the Grover C. Cobb Memorial.
Beneath one tower, a fountain, designed with the call letters of area radio stations, bubbled in the middle of three redwood benches.
The towers built in 1924 were placed on the National Register of Historic Sites and Places Aug. 27, 1983 as the only towers of their kind still standing.
Seaton Courtyard
One tree planted on Earth Day 12 years ago, evolved to an assort- ment of plants around a walkway.
The outdoor enclosure of Seaton Court planned and funded by Fayez Huseini and his environmental design studio in 1990, was designed with the intent to improve the look of the area and control flooding.
Concrete and wooden benches provided seating for the students.
The courtyard was deemed a memorial for 15 K-State environ- mental design and architecture design students who had died while still in school.

Father, son earn degrees
by Jaci Boydston
WHEN MAXSON IRSIK, senior in business administration, graduated Dec. 14, his father, Max, sat in the audience cheering for him. However, Irsik's father differed from most parents — he had just earned a degree from K- State as well, his third.
"My whole family is extremely honored," Max Irsik, graduate student in agribusiness, said. "They just love Kansas State."
Max, who completed a doctorate of veterinary medicine in 1977, said he decided to take advantage of the award-winning agribusiness program because it was almost entirely Web- based.
"I looked at getting an M.B.A. years earlier," Max said. "I saw the opportunity with distance education and I thought it would really work for my schedule."
Although Max did most coursework from home, he and his family found it to be a much larger time commitment than expected.
"When he was home from work, he was in his office," Linda Irsik, Max's wife, said. "We saw very little of each other."
Maxson said his father was one of the few people who could survive such a strenuous program.
"It would take a lot more discipline than 90 percent of us are willing to put out," Maxson said. "I think the program was really good for him."
When Max first decided to work for his masters in agribusiness, Maxson, as a business major, worried some of the courses would be too difficult for him.
"I was concerned as far as whether master level business classes would be good for him," Maxson said. "I shouldn't have been concerned."
Although the two were enrolled in classes at the same time, they decided against competing academically.
"We talked about having a grades competition," Maxson said, "but I didn't want to get my butt kicked."
Despite the hard work Max put toward achieving his degree, he decided not to participate in his commencement, opting to attend his son's instead.
"I've been through two (graduations)," Max said. "I'm proud to see my son go through."

Faced with decisions of how to pay for holiday purchases students consider several solutions
by Jacob Walker :HRISTMAS and a massive crowd of shoppers streamed through Manhattan Town Center in search of that special gift.
The holiday crowd complicated mall shopping, Rebecca Rogers, freshman in journalism and mass communications, said.
"It was crazy," Rogers said, "I guess that it was last-minute shopping for most people, but I usually put it off 'til later, like two or three days before Christmas."
The Christmas shopping season, with various sales and gift-buying pressure, was a time students turned to credit cards for easy access to holiday cash, said Joyce Cantrell, instructor in family studies and human services.
"The holidays tend to bring greater temptations," Cantrell said. "It's all right to put gifts on a credit card as long as you can pay the bill when it comes. You have to live within your means."
A credit card could be used for its convenience, or to take advantage of sales when the money was not easily accessible, she said.
"I use mine for Christmas sales that pop up," Rogers said, "or any sale, really."
According to a 2000 Nellie Mae report on student credit card debts, 78 percent of undergraduate students used one credit card or more. However, some students chose to pay with cash.
"I never use a credit card; I don't even have one," Cole Taylor, junior in agronomy, said. "I just make sure I have enough cash on me."
Students also found other methods of obtaining funds for holiday expenses, such as selling used items back to Aggieville merchants.
"I get a lot of students who come in this time of year to trade CDs in for gift money," Jeff Uhlarik, owner of the CD Tradepost, said. "They also come in to get gift certificates for presents."
ENJOYING A DAY OUT at the Manhattan Town Center, Amy Folkerts, freshman in open-option, and her mother, Gia Scott, take a moment to look at the holiday decorations before continuing to shop for Christmas presents. "I prefer to write checks when I go shopping," Pamela Shelite, junior in secondary education, said. "Or I carry small amounts of cash with me." — Photo by Evan Semon

Chartwell Dining Service gives children a chance to mingle with Mr. and Mrs. Claus
by jaci Boydston FOR TWO MORNINGS in December, local children
and their parents had the opportunity to meet some of the
season's biggest celebrities: Frosty the Snowman, Santa's elves
and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Breakfast with Santa, organized by Chartwell Dining Services, took place in Union Station Dec. 7 and 14.
"I think they really liked it," said Pamela Hurt, Chartwell employee and junior in elementary education. "A lot of them were getting their pictures taken with Frosty and Santa."
Dressed as an elf, Hurt greeted patrons as they filed in for breakfast and the chance to sit on Santa's lap. Four of the costumes — worn by Mrs. Claus, Frosty and two elves — were made by Pam Soeken, Chartwell catering director.
"I was quite excited when she said I could put it on," Hurt said. "I like being an elf."
Though the costumes were homemade, Hurt said she did not mind wearing them.
"They're a little odd-fitting, but they're not uncomfortable," Hurt said. "The hat was a little warm at first."
While the elves greeted customers, bussed tables and helped frazzled parents carry plates from the buffet, Santa and Mrs. Claus listened to children's Christmas requests and posed for pictures.
"(I love) just seeing all the little kids," Soeken, Mrs. Claus, said. "Some are so excited and some are so shy."
Soeken said she heard a variety of Christmas wishes, ranging from trains and Barbies to Sony PlayStations and Rescue Heroes.
"There was one child who did ask for clothes," Larissa Stoddard, Chartwell employee, said. "I couldn't believe it."
The food and entertainment cost $2 per person, which Soeken said was inexpensive.
"We were just trying to cover costs and give kids a chance to have breakfast with Santa," Soeken said. "It's a Christmas present to the community."
FINALLY GETTING his moment with the biggest celebrity of the season, Adam Gibbs, age 4, sits on Santa's lap after eating breakfast in Union Station Dec. 14.

student ambassadors learn to manage classwork, duties, recruiting
bv Jennifer Newberrv
C- STATE as student ambassadors. Seniors Mandy Achilles, mass communication, and Blake Bauer, agribusiness, were elected from 22,762 students in a campus-wide vote Nov. 6. The winners were announced Nov. 9 at the football game versus Iowa State.
"I knew a lot of the duties that were going to be asked of me and I felt that I was able to fill those duties fairly well, so I thought I would try for the position," Bauer said. "This is a goal I had set for myself a year ago. I felt that I filled the criteria fairly well and it just fell together really well."
Adviser Melissa Decker- Heidrick said she thought both were qualified for the year-long position.
"They are both wonderful representatives of the student body," Decker-Heidrick, associate director of alumni programs, said. "They are intelligent, hard working, fun students. They are all about what K-State students are about."
The responsibilities of student ambassadors were three- fold, Bauer said.
The first side involved working with the student alumni board, recruiting high school juniors for a program called Just for Juniors. The second involved traveling with the Alumni Association to events around Kansas for recruitment.
"The first time we did a presentation, I was both excited and nervous," Achilles said. "Once the presentation was over with, it was like our first task was completed and we could go out and be ourselves and talk with people."
The final side involved representing the student body at different events, such as receptions for Landon Lecturers or other luncheons, as directed by the president's office.
"The job has pretty much been what I've expected; there really haven't been any surprises," Achilles said. "It's been a little surprising to have gotten so many letters from the president's office to attend different events on campus. I didn't think there would be quite that many."
Another part of the ambassadors' responsibilities was to demonstrate what K-State offered to prospective students
uncertain about the college.
"K- State's a great university; anyone who's here can see that," Bauer said. "My job is to show all the sides of K-State and how it can relate to any kind of person — from greek life to housing and getting involved on campus, to academics and scholarships."
Representing the university was not without its challenges.
"You have to fight over some of the thoughts in people's heads — that you're going to be sitting in classes of over 500," he said. "It's not any different though. You go and take notes like you would in any other class."
Students who did not have a family member attend K- State were the most difficult students to recruit, Bauer said.
"The biggest thing that I always talk with students about, if they're not specifically asking questions, is the atmosphere of K- State and how my experiences with that have been," Achilles said. "My other advice that I give is to go visit other colleges because that's the only way that they'll know that K-State has that great atmosphere and is really a good place to be."
The ambassadors related to all groups of people, Decker- Heidrick said.
"They meet all different people such as alumni, prospective students' parents, prospective students and peers," Decker- Heidrick said. "It's a big challenge with all of those age groups and their different interests."
Though the student ambassadors had an important position, both asserted they were students like everyone else.
"I'm in different groups on campus, so just managing my time and representing the university might be one of my biggest challenges — balancing everything out — and showing that I'm just another regular student out talking to them," Bauer said. "We're just one of the other students who wakes up and goes to class at 8:30 like everyone else.
I don't see a problem in keeping up. I think my plate is full, but well balanced."
56 Student Life
A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRESENTATIONS, Bauer works with Willie the Wildcat to explain the ins and outs of being a K-State student to prospective students. "Mandy and I will give a presentation, and explain things that you wouldn't have known coming out of high school and so it's a good introduction for them," Bauer said. "This gives them an opportunity to think about K- State and see students one-on-one and ask questions." — Photo by Kelly Glasscock
PRACTICING THEIR PRESENTATION, seniors Mandy Achilles, mass communication, and Blake Bauer, agribusiness, prepare for their presentation in front of prospective students in Topeka. "When Blake and I were preparing, it was hard to find time for both of us to do it," Achilles said, "but I'm so happy to be able to work with him. He's been more than incredible." Achilles said she was excited about talking with prospective students. — Photo by Kelly Glasscock

Rent takes over McCain
by Jaci Boyclston
G the technically complicated, award -winning
musical, "Rent," to K- State was not as difficult as Jacob Urban,
McCain Auditorium public programmer and performance
technician, originally expected.
Urban attributed the smooth set-up to the experienced traveling road crew, The Booking Group.
"This went up faster than it should have," he said. "They know what they're doing. It flew up."
The Feb. 25 performance was for a sold -out crowd, which had not happened since 1999, when the Russian National Ballet performed "Swan Lake."
"('Rent') was different because it's so quick," Steimel, senior in architectural engineering, said. "It's over and done within 24 hours."
The production company arrived and began work at 8 a.m. the day of the performance. They worked with a 43- person crew, comprised of McCain and K- State Student Union employees, and K- State and University of Kansas students, to prepare for the 7:30 p.m. performance.
"Rent" provided all props, lights and set.
"They know exactly what they want," Urban said. "They don't have to customize."
Although problems sometimes arose with traveling road crews, George Stavropoulos, sophomore in theater, said the group was easy to work with.
"There's a different set of hurdles to deal with, with each road crew," Stavropoulos said. "This crew is tons more professional."
The crew was specific in what they needed, Urban said.
"If we just do what they tell us to do, everyone's happy," he said. "It's actually not that bad. The show goes by quickly."
Since "Rent" was only in town one night, the set had to be taken down immediately after the performance. The crew continued work until after midnight.
"The hours don't really wear on you until about half an hour before we get to go home," Urban said. "But we're like family. We have no other friends. I've never seen a fight."
Stavropoulos said the late nights did not bother him, because he enjoyed gaining theater experience.
"Being an actor, I'm used to the long hours," Stavropoulos said. "Doing shows like this really makes you appreciate what goes on. Theater's contagious."

by Jacob Walker
COVERED IN A ROSY GLOW from lights wrapped in a veil of red gossamer, residence hall students entered the transformed K- State Student Union Ballroom at the annual Winter Ball, Feb. 15
During the night of dancing, music and refreshments, nearly 200 students enjoyed the ballroom's expansive dance floor and decorations, Kahlen Ryba, sophomore in English, said.
"I really liked that it was in the Union," she said. "It's a nice central location, and the dance floor was really big."
The Winter Ball, sponsored by the Association of Residence Halls, was an opportunity for students to attend a formal dance, with the option of dressing casually, Ryba said.
"It was technically a formal, but some people just came in regular clothes," she said. "I always love an excuse to get all dressed up, so my friends and I all came in formals."
The Winter Ball's theme "Gifts From the Heart," lent itself to the romantic dance setting and also to the idea of giving, Julia Haney, sophomore in business administration, said.
"Since the theme was about giving, we took donations to give to the (Flint Hills) Breadbasket," Haney said. "We raised almost $1,400 to send them."
The dance also served as a way for students in other halls to come together outside of a classroom setting.
"I just love going to see everyone all dressed up, not just going to a class or walking around the dorm," Rebecca Jones, sophomore in elementary education, said. "I was glad all my friends from Moore (Hall) got to meet my friends from Ford (Hall)."
The ballroom seemed to be set up with everything students could want for a dance, Ryba said.
"The DJ was really great; there was a huge dance floor so it wasn't crowded," she said. "They had a bunch of tables for food and people who weren't dancing. It was a blast."

Dollar specials, unique atmosphere attract students to Aggieville Thursday nights; some sacrifice Friday classes as others prove academic endurance
by Nabil Shaheen and Linclsey Thorpe
and Friday morning classes, low prices and an early start to the weekend lured students to Aggieville Thursday nights.
With a 155,000 BTU heater welcoming cold customers at the front of Rusty's Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon, students could turn left to play billiards, walk straight into the front bar or keep going farther to the louder Rusty's Outback.
"Rusty's, that's where everybody seems to go," Jody Santure, freshman in open- option, said. "They might go to different bars all night, but everyone always ends up here."
As the night turned into early morning, some students accepted the fact classes would not be attended the next day, while others reveled in the challenge.
"I have five classes on Friday, but I still manage to go to all of them," Haley Thompson, junior in marketing, said. "I have a 7:30 a.m., but I still make it. I'm a morning person."
The Thursday night atmosphere had a much different feel than that of the weekend, Santure said.
"It's the cheap drinks," he said. "I have about 10 or 12 buddies here, it's just a different crowd."
Matt Thompson, sophomore in kinesiology, agreed, especially when it came to students of the female variety.
"There are better looking women," Thompson said. "It seems like more girls come out since they usually go home on the weekends."
One important aspect, especially in times of bad economy, was the low expense and affordable specials offered, which was the ultimate siren's song, Neely Holland, senior in mass communication, said.
"I'll spend maybe $5-6 on a Thursday night," Holland said. "I'd rather go out on a Wednesday or Thursday because it is less expensive. It's probably about $10 cheaper if I go out on Thursday. A beer is $1 on Thursday, but on Friday it's $2.50."

Air show takes flight
by Matt Gorney
INSTEAD OF NAVIGATING AIRPLANES, students from the College of Technology and Aviation directed attention toward their school at the Aerospace and Aviation Show at Manhattan Town Center, Sept. 21-22. The show gave the public an opportunity to interact with student pilots.
"We wanted to get the name out for K- State -Salina," Eric Scott, freshman in professional pilot, said, "and get people interested in aviation and flying."
Booths were set up near the west entrance to the Town Center and included different demonstrations of flying and informational handouts about the school.
"This was our first year," Marlon Johnston, aviation department head, said. "It helped us recruit people who are already interested in K- State."
Mandi Bellamy, sophomore in airway science, admitted she did not know about the school until she stumbled upon it while online. She had originally planned to attend another aviation college out of state, but felt lucky when she found K-State-Salina.
Bellamy came from a family of aviators and had always enjoyed flying, she said.
"Flying is very cool. It's something that not everybody does," Bellamy said. "I come from three generations of pilots and I cannot imagine not being able to fly."
In addition to being a recruiting tool, the show brought aviation groups together.
"It gave the opportunity to bring several aspects of the local aviation committee together in Manhattan," Johnston said. "I thought it was really interesting."
Bellamy said she wanted to be part of anything involving aviation and going to the show was logical for her.
"I explained information about the aviation program at K- State -Salina," Bellamy said. "(I) tried to help them with any aviation questions or college questions that they had."

Glover, Justice educate students about influential black leaders through their work
ACTORS DANNY GLOVER AND FELIX JUSTICE
brought the leader of the civil rights movement, along with
one of the foremost poets of the Harlem Renaissance, to life.
Union Program Council sponsored the Jan. 21 presentation
of, "An Evening with Martin and
Langston."
"It directly ties into our Martin
Luther King Week events," Mark
Threeton, graduate program adviser
for the UPC, said. "It's a message we
wanted to bring to K- State."
The presentation included
Justice reciting a speech King gave
shortly before his death in 1968,
and Glover reciting several poems
by Langston Hughes. Audience
members had the opportunity to
ask questions at the end.
"The entire performance was
very powerful," Dionica Bell,
sophomore in journalism and
mass communications, said. "I've
always been an advocate of the
Martin Luther King holiday because
I think it's an important part of my
at McCain Auditorium, history and my heritage."
Glover relates the
importance of Hughes'
message and life. "We
want to extend ourselves
in fighting for what is just
and fighting for what is
right," Glover said.

Glover and Justice have been performing their two -man show since 1992. In that time, they have visited more than 200 college campuses and venues in Africa and the Middle East.
Justice said the pair began performing together because of his reverence for Glover, whom he introduced as, "a giant among men, an ambassador to the world."
"From my point of view, I've long admired Danny Glover's civic sense," Justice said. "He has constantly given of himself in whatever community he has lived in."
Bell said she also admired Glover's work.
"I thought it was important to attend because Danny Glover has been a huge civic leader in his lifetime," Bell said. "It was also really cool to hear the speech Mr. Justice gave because I've studied Martin Luther King, but I had never heard that particular piece."
The speech Justice recited was the last full speech King gave before his death, which Justice said lent extra importance to it.
"He was not killed for being a civil rights leader," Justice said. "He was killed for the speech he made tonight. We should talk about his life, but we should also talk about the reasons he died."
Bell said she felt UPC invested in a quality project.
"I totally appreciated the experience," Bell said. "I think K- State did a really good job and should continue to have events like this."

A head start to exercise
by Lindsay Porter
TS were still sleeping, more than 200 students and community members woke their muscles up with a trip to the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.
The Rec Center opened every weekday at 6 a.m. Students used the aerobic machines, lifted weights and attended exercise classes.
Tracy Edwards, senior in elementary education and Step and Tone instructor, woke up at 5:30 a.m. to arrive at the exercise room by 6:15 a.m. to wipe off the floor, set up the room and select music for her class at 6:30 a.m..
"I teach all morning classes," Edwards said. "I get up and exercise because exercise makes you ready for the day."
Edwards said she was a morning person as were most of the regulars in her step classes.
"People in my classes are really enthusiastic," she said. "They are not dragging in. We have a lot of fun for that early in the morning."
Jennifer Dalsem, Manhattan resident, attended Edwards' step classes when she visited the Rec Center. Dalsem, who worked in Topeka, said she preferred morning exercise because it allowed her to spend the evenings at home with her husband.
"It's better if I go first thing in the morning and get it done," she said. "It's less busy — the nights tend to be crowded — and then I'm done for the day. I'm not necessarily a morning person. It motivates me to get up an hour earlier."
Derek Walters, associate director of recreational services, said more than 1,800 students used the Rec Center daily.
Erica Sisson, junior in fisheries and wildlife biology, and roommate Chasty Champlin, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, also used equipment in the Rec Center a couple of times a week at 6 a.m.
"My roommate is a morning person, she makes me go," Sisson said. "If I can't make it in the morning, then I go later. (Going early) gets you ready — you have more time to get ready and are more awake for the first class."

Unit provides longer shelf life

off a damaged book, Haritatos prepares to add a replace- ment spine. Preserva- tion Unit workers used scalpels, glue and a book press to repair spines. Hartford said nature worked against the pres- ervation unit. "Books are organic material," she said. "Even if no one picked them up, the pages would get brittle. There is a real need for preservation, especially in academic libraries where the information is kept for patron use. In a light environment, everything has impact." — Photo by Evan Semon
on the fifth floor of Hale Library, in a restricted area, a room housed a water purification system, a fume hood and damaged books.
Robyn Feldkamp, senior in apparel marketing and design, cautiously hovered over the spine of a book to cut a replace- ment to fit. Feldkamp and Sisa Haritatos, junior in elementary education, were the only student workers at the Book Preserva- tion Unit of Hale Library.
Marty Hartford worked part-time in circulation and supervised the preservation unit.
When Hale was revamped in 1997, the preservation lab received equipment to sustain a conservation team, but Hale did not employ a conservation team.
Hartford said the difference between conservation and preser- vation was the types of repairs.
"They are essentially the same thing," Hartford said. "There are different levels of treatment. Book repair is simple. Conservation involves completely re -casing the book. We don't do that here."
Feldkamp and Haritatos con- centrated on repairing damaged books. Common repairs included reinforcing the spine, replacing lost or missing pages and providing acid-free boxes for safekeeping.
Hartford said of the 1.5 million books in circulation, the preservation unit repaired more than 3,000 in 2002.
Hartford said, at some libraries, when a book reached a deteriorated state it would be thrown out, but that was not the case at Hale.
"Academic libraries don't get rid of anything," she said. "It might have value to someone."
The preservation team aimed to sustain a full-time lab, if not a conservator, within five years.
"It's important," Hartford said. "We are always going to have books and focus attention on the present collection of books and other resources. It's amazing what's available."

Union food court becomes more diverse as students experience distant culture, taste new cuisine with arrival of Greek Odyssey Cafe
bv Jacob Walker
on the grill as the scent of meat mingled with onions and green peppers. With a flip of his spatula, Tony Belardo, tossed the bread onto a plate and piled on the rest of the ingredients.
With no frying or grease, The Greek Odyssey Cafe, located in the K- State Student Union, provided a healthier alternative to fast food restaurants in the food court, Belardo said.
While there were a few customer favorites, the Odyssey offered a large variety of choices.
"We just have so many different kinds of Greek food that we have to keep replacing the menu," Belardo said. "They're all good, and this way there is a bit more variety, not just the same stuff all the time."
The Odyssey added variety, not only to its menu, but to the entire food court.
"They have good stuff, if you like Greek food," Kathryn Van Keuren, junior in secondary education, said. "It's very different from a pizza or hamburger."
Van Keuren said she thought the way food was prepared made a difference in how healthy it was.
"It's not fried," she said. "It doesn't really feel like it is even fast food."
Before the Odyssey sprang into existence, a cooking demo station occupied the space where different kinds of foods were served on a weekly basis. One of the rotations served Greek food, inspiring the creation of the Odyssey.
"The Greek food was by far the most popular of the menus," Eric Braun, director of dining services, said. "We contacted a Greek food managing company, Kronos Products, and they helped us set up the Greek Odyssey."
Kronos Products, a Chicago based company, provided the Union with supplies needed to prepare a wide array of entrees.
"The Kronos family is Greek, so we know the food we get is authentic," Braun said. "It really adds to the multi- cultural atmosphere we are trying to have in the Union."

Volunteers raise money
by Jaci Boydston
AFTER 24 YEARS of soliciting money from alumni, the KSU Foundation Telefund was expected to be stronger than ever, Gordon Dowell, director of annual giving, said.
"This is an awesome program," Dowell said. "Telefund has built a huge reputation."
The month-long event ran Jan. 21-Feb. 24. Each weeknight, student volunteers called alumni from their colleges and departments to solicit donations.
"We allow people to direct money back to their college," Dowell said. "That provides scholarships and other sorts of dollars."
Dowell said K- State ranked first in the Big 12 Conference and fourth nationally among schools receiving alumni support.
"That's pretty cool, but it goes relatively unnoticed," Dowell said. "A lot of people join in and support."
Although students might not have thought an evening of telemarketing sounded like fun, Amanda Knight, senior in modern languages, said she enjoyed it.
"It's really energetic, maybe too energetic," Knight said. "You're just pulled into it."
Music, prizes and an abundance of donated food contributed to Telefund 's atmosphere.
Stephani Edington, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said she won two T-shirts, several gift certificates and a thermal mug during her four-hour shift.
"They gave away all sorts of prizes," Edington said. "Calling people and asking for money is not a fun thing to do, but they made it fun."
Edington raised around $800 for the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications, which was average for most volunteers, Dowell said.
Telefund gave away more than $60,000 in prizes, to encourage student participation and reward excellence, Dowell said. Prizes included a 2003 Nissan Frontier and a $1,000 scholarship.
However, Edington said there were more important reasons to volunteer than the opportunity to win prizes.
"It was a good way to donate your time," Edington said. "Sometimes when you call people, they're really mean, but the ones who aren't make up for it."

A KISS Tip:
Straight from the mouth...
Place a straw in your mouth. Pinch your nose shut. Breathe only through the straw.
This is how it feels to breathe with emphysema. Emphysema is just one of the risks increased by smoking.
Lafene health program promotes non-smoking among students, personalizes patients' needs to look into deeper issues with smoking risks
by Natalie Gervais
ENCOURAGING A SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENT and healthy lifestyle, K- Staters Inspired to Stop Smoking was revamped in December.
"Smoking is becoming one of the leading health problems," Carol Kennedy, director of Health Education and Promotions, said. "The highest success programs for smoking cessation address psychological issues and physical addictions."
KISS applied those ideals to its four-week program. Kennedy said the free, personalized program was specific to students' needs.
"We take a look at the mental aspects of the problem, which is why the program for the American Cancer Society was so successful," Kennedy said. "We address concerns about weight gain and other fears the student may have."
To determine where the core addiction came from, students answered a variety of questions. After a score was calculated, the results determined the next step toward quitting smoking. Stress balls, chewing gum and a community Listserv offering suggestions and advice comprised techniques used to calm addiction.
"I've tried to quit a couple of times before," Ryan Epstein, junior in management information systems, said, "but I'll be at a party or bar and start up again. I plan to quit cold-turkey when I graduate."
The number of current K-State students predicted to die of tobacco -related illness was 2,404, based on fall 2002 enrollment numbers.
"I think our latest slogan, 2,404, says it all," said Joshua Umbehr, senior in nutrition science and creator of the KISS acronym. "It stands for the number of students currently enrolled who will statistically die from smoking. We felt that was an outrageous number and something had to be done."

Lab tests virus in horses
by Jennifer Newberry and Michelle Wilmes
OF THE 105 COUNTIES in Kansas, 103 reported having positive results of the West Nile Virus, according to the K- State Research and Extension Web site.
Detecting 793 cases in horses, K-State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, located in Mosier Hall, provided testing sites for the virus.
Bonnie Rush, professor of clinical studies, said she advised the Kansas Legislature in February 2002 that the disease would arrive in Kansas by summer.
Sanjay Kapil, associate professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, said K- State was first in Kansas to diagnose any positive results of the disease. The Centers for Disease Control helped set up the testing site and sent supplies.
"The testing process is like a blind study; but out of the cases we sent to the CDC, we matched them with 100 percent accuracy," Kapil said. "We had good luck and encountered no setbacks. It was a perfect setup."
Kapil said the national turn -around rate, when dealing with testing the virus, was three -to -four weeks. At K- State, it took a maximum of two days. They tested one day and got the results the next day.
"We began working on the virus several months before it even arrived in Kansas," Kapil said. "With its low population density and the types of mosquitoes that exist here, we predicted that Kansas would have more West Nile cases in horses than in any other type of animal — we were right."
K- State detected the first case of the virus Aug. 8, and the first human cases were confirmed Oct. 10. Twenty- two human cases were reported before the end of the summer.
Joe Anderson and Heather Wisdom, research assistants of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, tested for the virus.
"I work with reading the results," Wisdom said. "Since the summer, testing has severely decreased since there are no mosquitoes right now."
The testing affected revenues with each costing $ 10. About 2,000 tests were run in three months.
"We're the only lab in Kansas to run them," she said. "Occasionally we would send them to a place in Iowa."
As of January, those involved with the testing were attempting to expand the test.
"We'd like to maybe test other animals as well, besides horses," Wisdom said, "especially birds."

College life challenges eating habits, ability to eat healthy while balancing schedules
by Lindsey Jones
NEW STUDENTS were faced with a variety of eating options after coming to K- State. Sheryl Powell, director of Kramer Dining Center, said sometimes those options blurred the line between nourishment and gluttony.
"I think they're overwhelmed by all the choices," Powell said. "They have to learn healthy lifestyles."
Fending for themselves in what Powell called a toxic environment, some students gained weight after making the transition to college.
"Part of this whole Freshman 15 thing has to do with options and choices," Powell said. "You have to make good choices."
She said the dining centers strove for variety, which sometimes meant high-fat, high-sugar foods.
"We can't not offer those," Powell said. "It's an issue of quantity and how often."
Powell said students needed to look within to change the way they eat.
"I'm convinced habit is what it's all about," she said. "You just have to change your thinking. Changing your habits is going to have some really positive results, but people don't want to hear that."
Diana Schalles, a nutritionist at Lafene Health Center, said students also needed to change their impression of dieting.
"I like healthy and balanced eating as I
opposed to diet," Schalles said. "lust doing some pre-planning helps you so that you're not relying on those large portion sizes and eating when you're famished."
The effects of overeating on health are staggering, Powell said. Increased instances of obesity, diabetes and even cancer are associated with an unhealthy diet.
Another damaging consequence on the body was the toll due to on -again, off- again dieting, which produced frustration and worn -down bodies, Powell said.
Schalles said getting help and obtaining correct nutritional information were two major tools to prevent overeating.
Often social trends went against healthy habits, creating problems for students who were trying to make healthy decisions.
"I wish we as a society could eat less," Whitney Mordica, junior in animal sciences and industry, said. "We need to take smaller portions and eat less often. We continue to increase portions and this obesity becomes a larger and larger problem."
It seemed the primary reason behind the campus' increasing serving sizes was value, Powell and Schalles agreed.
"They are getting a dollar value," Powell said, "but I really question whether they're getting a health value."

exhibit at Hale Library showcases book history, current issues
by Matt Gorney
IN A DARK LAB, a genius, dismissed by his colleagues, bestowed life on his creation, not knowing the life -altering consequences it would have. "Frankenstein," the novel, chronicled the scientist and his horrifying experience with the creation. This fall, an exhibit at Hale Library brought that experience to campus.
Mary Shelley used her book, "Frankenstein", to pose questions about science and ethics. The questions Shelley asked continued to be relevant.
"I think about the responsibility," said Mary Siegle, senior administrative assistant in the Department of English. "(Victor Frankenstein) refused to accept responsibility for his own creation."
Siegle said instead of readable material, she thought there would be more three-dimensional objects in the exhibit which was on display Oct. 3 to Nov. 15., but the timing of the exhibit could not have been better.
"It's kind of cool that we happened to have it over Halloween time when it drew more attention," Siegle said. "There's also psychological things it touches in us."
The exhibit visited 80 libraries across the country. K- State was one of the first stops on the tour scheduled through 2005. Roger Adams, rare books librarian, said Hale planned to have more exhibits, including one about Abraham Lincoln and another featuring Konza Prairie Natural Research Area.
"This is part of the strategic plan to enhance the image of the library," Adams said. "There are four copies of the exhibit traveling and we were one of the first four."
Tessa Whitaker, junior in elementary education, said the exhibit was informative and had enhancing photos. She said the best part was the section on the author.
"I really liked it," Whitaker said. "It had a lot of information that I didn't know about her."
Interest in the book had also risen since the exhibit's opening, Adams said.
"I know it's gotten a lot of people interested in reading the book," he said. "We bought several paperback copies and they've constantly been checked out."

Barge accident kills 12, destroys I-40 bridge

[ crashed into a concrete pilling that supported an Interstate 40 bridge southeast of Tulsa, Okla. A 600 -foot-long section of the 1,988-foot-long bridge collapsed, sending more than nine cars and trucks into the Arkansas River, May 26.
May 27, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Tulsa closed dams to lower the speed of river flow to aid divers searching for more victims.
Authorities said more than 12 people were killed.
The bridge, built in 1967, was last inspected in 2001.
1-40 was a major east-west highway. On average, the bridge carried 20,000 vehicles daily and one or two barges passed under it each day, Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating said.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation asked travelers to avoid driving in eastern Oklahoma or to use alternate routes — State Highway 9 or U.S. 64.
Officials said the bridge repairs could take six months to one year.

Soil research
Consortium benefits from grant
by Lindsay Porter
K- STATE RECEIVED a check for $15 million, the largest grant in university history at Rannells Ranch, April 28.
Provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and authorized by Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, the grant nearly doubled the amount of the second-largest grant the university has received.
The money benefited K- State and the Consortium for Agricultural Soil Mitigation of Greenhouse Gases, and was used for research and outreach to determine how agricultural soils could help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
CASMGS comprised 10 research institutions and worked with research groups within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. K- State was the lead institution in the consortium.
The grant was awarded over three years, but Charles Rice, head of K- State's research team, said he hoped funding would continue for the next five or six years.
Roberts discussed soil carbon sequestration, which reduced build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere while improving soil by conserving carbon in the soil.
Rice said soil carbon-sequestration research was important because carbon dioxide is one of the gases in the atmosphere causing global warming.
The research of the consortium helped determine soil management practices that conserved more carbon in the soil, so it won't escape to the atmosphere, Rice said.
Besides decreasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, carbon sequestration also caused increased soil fertility and quality and reductions in erosion.

City alters traffic flow
by Linclsey Thorpe and Jennifer Rezac
BEGINNING JULY 11, Moro and Laramie streets limited traffic to one-way in the block between 11th Street and Manhattan Avenue. The traffic shifted east-bound on Moro Street from Manhattan Avenue to 1 1th Street, and west-bound on Laramie Street in the same block.
Cheryl Sieben, Aggieville Business Association director, said the purpose of the change was to create more parking. One-way traffic allowed diagonal parking on the north side of Moro Street, with parallel parking on the south side.
Most Aggieville merchants were happy with the decision, Sieben said.
"Traffic will probably run smoother once people get used to it," Jerry Petty, Public Works director, said. "The streets will be safer for pedestrians."

New funding allows protection against threat of agroterrorism
by Lindsay Porter and Lindsey Thorpe
received $1.67 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, July 11, to bolster food and agricultural homeland security protections. Of the state's allotment, K- State received $900,000 for a rapid detection network focused on plant diseases.
"This reinforces that we have valuable expertise in areas useful to solve problems," said Jerry Jaax, associate vice provost of research compliance.
Kansas U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts said the funds represented a significant advancement in helping protect the foundation of the economy from an agroterrorism attack.
K- State was designated as one of two large detection centers in the Midwest Agricultural Belt.
Robert Zeigler, professor of plant pathology, said the network developed in collaboration with other states planning defense and prevention of agricultural terrorism.
He said K- State was chosen to lead the Midwest network because of its strong faculty and research in the agricultural community.
"We have a highly regarded department of plant pathology instructors," Zeigler said. "Our diagnostics capabilities are recognized around the country as competent."
Zeigler said basic research needed to be generated so intervention strategies could be developed and tested.
"What the facility will do is enable us to imagine what kind of events could happen, then how we would respond and test, in a real life situation, how effective the responses are," he said. "There will be an educational component to it because there will be a lot of original research conducted in the facility. That would be a tremendous opportunity for hands-on experience in research."
K- State's College of Agriculture also provided the first Web -based distance diagnostic capacity.
The National Agricultural Biosecurity Center, in Manhattan, studied how animal and plant diseases entered the country, sponsored exercises designed to hone terror-fighting skills and set up a carcass disposal system if livestock were targeted. K- State received $3 million to establish the center.

Station fights for air, football broadcasts
by Matt Gorney
ON AUG. 22, a district court decision allowed WIBW- AM 580 to continue broadcasting K-State football games.
At the end of 2001, the station's contract expired. However, when the university gave the rights to Mid-America Ag Network, WIBW went to court and cited a previous decision, which allowed it to keep the rights to broadcast the games.
After the 2002 court decision, Tim Weiser, K- State athletic director, said he was disappointed but not surprised at the decision. He also said K- State would keep fighting and would continue to appeal.
Mid- America's contract paid $1.2 million per year. With the loss of the case, the budget had to be reworked to $300,000. Weiser said it was not easy for fans to understand, but the issues were important and worth fighting for.

Billing, tax errors toll city
Mistakes total $1 million for budget
by Nabil Shaheen
TWO ERRORS in water meter readings and an appraisal error resulted in Manhattan being nearly $1 million over budget.
In July, city officials realized they had been incorrectly reading water meters at Colbert Hills Golf Course for three years, under billing the golf course $352,578. K- State originally placed a six- dial meter at Colbert Hills. Water readers from the city were misinformed that it was to be read as a five - dial meter. While the city took blame, Colbert Hills directors said the facility realized the error and would reimburse the city upon agreement of final finances and money lost.
One month later, in August, the Riley County Appraiser's office stated that an employee reported the value of a $59,500 home on Pomeroy Street as $200,059,000. This resulted in departments having to rework budgets to include the
corrected, assessed value of Riley County. City management and commissioners decided to use approximately $750,000, originally scheduled for use in transportation and building renovation projects, to make up for the loss. About 28 programs and departments received cuts as a result of the overhaul, including the Riley County Police Department, which took the largest cut — $85,700.
In September, the city discovered another water meter error, this time on campus. Because of a malfunctioning outdoor meter, Van Zile Dining Hall was undercharged almost $ 15,000. A monthly water bill should have run between $600-$700. For two years, Van Zile was being charged $14.94 a month, until the problem was noticed.
Sept. 25, Manhattan announced internal restructuring amongst its utility billing and meter reading operations.

Yar Ebadi, dean of the College of Business Administration, said the college needed to cut funds to the center because of drastic budget cuts.
The business center looked to other organizations for funds, but was already struggling with expenses before the decision. Fred Rice, director of the business center, said they did not have enough funds to travel to other counties. Business owners had to travel to Manhattan to share their struggles.
Over the years, the center helped 36,300 people in 44 counties. The business center worked with anyone who wanted to start a business or needed guidance. Services were free and confidential. After closing, counseling and training programs continued under the direction of Barta Stevenson, assistant director of the business center.

Columbia explodes
NASA shuttle, astronauts lost during re-entry
by Jacob Walker
its scheduled landing, Feb. 1, at the Kennedy Space Center, the space shuttle Columbia disinte- grated in the sky above Texas, killing the seven -member crew. Scattered across Texas and Louisiana, debris was collected for weeks after the tragedy.
Commander Rick Husband; pilot William McCool; payload commander Michael Anderson; mission specialists David Brown, Laurel Clark, Kal- pana Chawla and the first Israeli astronaut, Ilan Ramon, constituted the crew.
An independent group of inves- tigators, led by retired U.S. Navy Adm. Harold Gehman, analyzed the accident. Theories circulated, among them that a piece of insu- lation foam seen bouncing off the left wing of the shuttle before lift- off somehow damaged the heat resistant ceramic tiles on the wing.
The Columbia disaster occurred four days after the 17th anniversary of the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, Jan. 28, 1986.
Subsequent space shuttle launches were delayed until the cause of Columbia's break-up was determined, but President George W. Bush assured the nation the space program would continue. The delays affected the crew of the international space station, which was scheduled to return to Earth March 1. NASA said the crew had enough supplies to last through the end of June.

War on terror
Protesters, supporters rally
by Lindsey Thorpe
ADDRESSING THE NATION and the world March 17, President Bush gave Saddam Hussein and his sons 48 hours to leave Iraq, or face war.
Bush said risks of inaction would be far greater in the future if not stopped. Peaceful efforts of diplomacy had failed, he said, and the security of the world required disarming Hussein at the present time, instead of waiting for the removal of weapons of mass destruction.
According to The New York Times, roughly 90 minutes after the ultimatum expired, American forces fired the first shots of the campaign to remove Hussein by force.
After the war began, demonstrators, both for and against the war, organized protests across the nation. Though many protests were peaceful, some required intervention, like one protest in San Francisco. Hay bales were set on fire in the streets around the Transamerica Building and police -car windows all over town were smashed. Police made 1,350 arrests — the highest one -day total in the history of the city.

"It's a stress reliever because it is so different from a lecture class where they just take notes," Joyce Yagerline, associate professor of dance, said. "I want them to develop discipline, perseverance, enjoy the art form, learn about their bodies, what their bodies can do, develop self con- fidence and self esteem, from taking the class." — Photo by Karen Mikols

When they graduate they'll have to sit in an office and they won't be able to dance as much," said Joyce Yager- line, associate professor of dance. — Photo by Karen Mikols
Yagerline said she didn't expect the dancers in her ballet classes to become professionals because K- State is a liberal arts university with a broad-based curriculum.
"Few want to be (professionals) and probably few can," she said. "What I'm expecting them to get out of this class is an enjoyment and a love for dancing. I also want them to develop discipline and perseverance, to work hard, enjoy the art form, learn about their bodies and what their bodies can do."
Among her different level classes, dance majors made up only a part of the participants. Some people outside the dance program took it as a stress reliever, and others because they had been doing it since they were young and did not want to quit.
"I love to dance," Jenny Ludes, sophomore in business administration, said. "I have been doing it since I was 4. It's my passion. In college it isn't a typical class. It's a release going to dance and being able to dance and leave with no homework."
In the classroom, Yagerline said she was a tough teacher.
"I am passionate about ballet," Yagerline said. "I am a hard teacher - very strict - because I know what it's like to be in the real world dancing."
Yagerline has been dancing for 36 years, 13 profession- ally.
"We are very fortunate to have Joyce," Abby Williamson, sophomore in theater, said. "She's danced for years, and is amazing. She gives us individual attention and tells you what you need to correct."
As the music played and the girls worked under the watchful eyes of Yagerline, she corrected their movements and helped them understand what they were doing wrong.
"Ballet looks easy, but it's harder than it looks.
"You have to work at it to make it look easy," Yagerline said. "It can also be compared to meditation, because you are singularly focused on one thing. Nothing else matters and nothing else exists in that moment. It's kind of like you're a channel between God or the universe and the earth."

he downward dog, corpse, warrior and mountain — these postures constituted a small branch of the numerous limbs of yoga.
Yoga, a Hindu philosophy teaching control of the body and mind to achieve spiritual insight and tranquility, proved to be a life saver for stressed -out students.
"Yoga means right relationship," Erika Jensen, graduate student in entomology, said. "Having the right relationship internally between the body, mind and spirit, as well as externally with other people."
Students said yoga not only provided mental and spiritual insight, but gave physical benefits as well.
"Yoga is a practical way to lead a happy and stress-free life," Ana Franklin, UFM instructor, said. "I've had people say that because of yoga, they have less headaches, feel more rested, less stressed, it's easier to focus and it's easier to not be distracted."
Franklin said her students experienced the benefits of yoga, and it helped them get in touch with their feelings and the world around them.
"Yoga calms me," Monica Clement, geology instructor, said. "Practice has become a crucial part of who I am."
Though some were wary of yoga because of contorted positions, Franklin said it was really for the mind. The physical aspects and benefits were a benefit of practice as a whole.
"Many people have the misconception that yoga is for the body," Franklin said. "But in fact, the use of the body in yoga is only for focusing the mind and understanding the self better. It's not for the purpose of having a Jane Fonda figure. If all you want is a nice body, you should go do aerobics."
Having a good experience with yoga could depend on the teacher you follow, Franklin said. She said students should find out who the teacher studied with.
Students dedicated to yoga found regular practice helped center and ground them in a world of sensational stimuli.
"We get drawn outside of ourselves by our senses. We forget that there's something here, inside," Franklin said. "When someone reintroduces us to our inner lives, our true center, the joy in our hearts towers over all those other distractions, so much so that we learn to love it and want to go back to it every day. That's what yoga's about — reconnecting and reintegrating with your true self."
THREE STUDENTS in Ana Franklin's yoga class, practice breathing. "If you come to class once or twice a week, you'll feel some benefits, but nothing to the extent that people who practice on a regular basis feel," Franklin said. "The point of yoga is to practice." — Photo by Nicole Donnert

personality fused
into style of artwork
Figure drawing, oil painting, ceramics and sculpture classes taught art majors methods of creating visual masterpieces.
During their first two years in the fine arts program, students enrolled in survey courses, 2-D and 3-D design courses and drawing.
Robin Mabie, senior in fine arts, said those courses were structured to compare different techniques.
"Beginning level classes — they're pre -classes before you can declare your emphasis — need to be structured to move further along in your art career," she said.
Mabie enrolled in "Oil Painting" and "Drawing II" during fall semester while Allison Becker, junior in fine arts, studied "Figure Drawing."
Though Becker had little time to draw for fun, she said figure drawing was key in perfecting her skills.
"Figure drawing is the basis for all art," Becker said. "It's good to get a good hold on that before anything else."
Putting her heart into her art, Becker said her personality showed in her work.
"Allison's artwork gives you a window into a whole other side of her," Tyler Dirks, junior in fine arts, said. "I guess you could say she's reserved, but her art has a more playful and creative energy."
Though she appreciated professional artists, Becker said she believed her biggest inspiration came from other students.
"Critiquing is a huge part of class," Becker said. "It's important to be able to pick out good and bad elements of other students' work and apply them to yours."

Budget cut, tuition rises
by Michelle Wilmes
Despite tuition rise, student numbers grow
DESPITE INCREASED TUITION, enrollment rose to an all-time university high — 22,762 students.
"I expected there to be a decrease in numbers," Donald Foster, university registrar said. "Some students may not have returned because of the increase in tuition, but enrollment is at the highest it has ever been. We had almost 400 more students this year than we did last year."
After the Kansas Legislature reduced the amount of money allocated to the university, the first step in budgeting was to increase tuition and assess fees to departments, Foster said.
"As soon as we knew there was going to be a decrease in funding, we knew we had to compromise somehow," Foster said. "That's why we added the extra fees and increased the tuition. Other than salaries, the main field that the increase went toward was technology."
To offset the tuition increase, Rachel Trowbridge, freshman in family studies and human services, said she worked harder to budget her money.
"After I found out that the tuition was going to increase, I knew I needed to apply for additional scholarships," Trowbridge said. "By doing this, I received more scholarships and I was able to make up the difference."
Although K- State experienced a 25.1 -percent increase in tuition — well above the 9.6 -percent national average — the tuition was still in the lower 38 percent nationally, annually paying less than $4,000 for tuition and fees.
Tyler Breeden, senior in agricultural economics, said due to the budget cuts the income generated from increases in tuition was only maintaining the current levels of education, rather than improving them.
"The decreased budget has limited short-term improvements for technology in the classroom and has also led to fewer class offerings," Breeden said. "However, the budget cuts reduced the number of faculty members and therefore class sizes went up and the number of times that classes were offered might have been limited. Having less faculty resulted in larger numbers of students per adviser, and students could potentially lose valuable time with a mentor.
"Overall, Kansas State University is an outstanding institution and will continue to thrive despite these short-term setbacks."

student teachers
peer tutors help others
sking for help with classes may not have kbeen easy for students who were used to being independent studiers.
Even for those students, the Academic Assis- tance Center offered free instruction in more than 100 subjects.
Tutors were hired on the basis of at least a 3.0 GPA and As or Bs in the subject they were helping with, said Adam Kujawa, tutoring center director and graduate student in business administration.
Knowledge was not the only requirement for tutoring, said Eric Castaneda, senior in secondary education and modern languages.
"You have to like teaching and working with people," he said.
Kujawa said math and science were the subjects students most needed help with.
Louis Novak, junior in journalism and mass
communications, said his college algebra tutor, Castaneda, was helpful and made the material easier to understand.
"Tutors break it down into a smaller setting," Novak said. "(Castaneda) has given me confidence to help get through it and has broken it down to help me understand it."
Novak said that in small groups of five to seven, students got one -on -one help.
The offices for the academic and tutoring centers and tutorial assistance were in Holten Hall. Tutors were matched on the basis of availability.
Although tutoring hours were from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. many tutors spent more time helping students, Castaneda said.
"We do close at five o'clock," Castaneda said, "but I have no problem staying past five to help out, if the student is willing."

Evaluations guide instructors' performance
ROLES WERE REVERSED when students critiqued instructors for teaching effectiveness. Teacher evaluations were distributed during classes so students could judge their instructors' performances over the semester.
"This entire process exists for not only students' benefits but also for the instructors'," said Renee Fonferko, administrative assistant for the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications. "The instructor can gain helpful insight as to how to teach the class better the next time around."
The anonymous student evaluations, called TEVALS, asked students 14 questions broken down into two categories — rating the instructor and rating themselves. Students were given the opportunity to write additional comments.
"I really do read them," David Fallin, instructor in marketing, said. "I look at every one of them. Some comments are ridiculous; such as 'the tests are too hard,' but I have gotten some good ideas."
IDEA, another teacher evaluation used in some classes, was more detailed and had more questions than the TEVAL forms.
"If a faculty member needs something quick and easy, a TEVAL will give the department head a good idea of their teaching," said Victoria Clegg, director of the Center of Advancement for Teaching and Learning. "If a faculty member needs more specific information, IDEA is a better evaluation to use."
ERICA ECKELMAN, fresh- man in business adminis- tration, fills out a teacher evaluation during her Environmental Geography Lab class. "Many students do not take TEVALS seriously, " said Renee Fonferko, administrative assistant for the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications. "Students often neglect to see this as a beneficial responsibility." — Photo by Lindsey Bauman

In the real world

PREPARING FOR POST- COLLEGE LIFE required more than classes and professors. Internships helped students explore life after graduation and University Recognition, a program matching internships to students, provided a first step to getting the right experience.
"University Recognition lets students combine academics and work experience while being a full-time student," Mary Ellen Barkley, Career and Employment Services coordinator, said. "It provides experience that is not readily available in course work."
Megan Mayo, senior in human ecology and mass communications, said her internship at the Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau allowed her to work on a variety of projects.
"I've worked there for two years," she said. "I learned so much about myself and gained skills that will be helpful in my professional career."
Ashley Presley, leadership intern at the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, said she would recommend internships to others, even if the internship wasn't related to career objectives.
"Everything I've learned — organization and deadlines — has been beneficial," the junior in elementary education said. "Internship bosses are willing to help you learn."

animal care
THE JOB
by Lisa Solomon
Research units provide employment opportunities
OPPORTUNITIES FOR HANDS-ON RESEARCH and animal care were provided to students through six breeding units operated by the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry.
The animal units were created as a research center for different types of livestock.
Jack Riley, animal sciences and industry department head, said most of the units used students for part-time la- bor where students worked one-on-one with the animals.
The breeding program constituted six units housing swine, sheep, poultry, horses, and beef and dairy cattle. Ani- mal sciences and industry professor John Shirley said most units arose in the late 1950s and early 1960s, with the excep- tion of the dairy unit, which was created in the late 1800s.
Rachael Gager, a student worker for the sheep unit and graduate student in animal sciences and industry, had been working at the unit since her junior year.
"I transferred from Colby Community College and needed a job," Gager said. "I raised sheep back home and was first offered a position painting at the unit."
Gager attained the position of shepherdess in January 2002, which required living at the facility. Her typical day started at 6:30 a.m. to feed and care for the sheep. After chores, Gager attended a full day of classes and returned home at the end of the day to complete chores once more.
Gager said her favorite part of the job was having the op- portunity to work with the sheep and take care of the lambs. She oversaw three student employees with the help of animal sciences and industry professor Clifford Spaeth.
Horse unit manager David McClure also used students for part-time labor.
"It's a good experience for the students," McClure said. "It's kind of like a crash course in management, as our stu- dents always have to keep an eye on the horses."
Duane Davis, animal sciences and industry professor, agreed student involvement was valued in all aspects of the operation.
With a desire to work in Research and Extension, Gager said the skills she picked up helped her career path.
"I have gained people skills from overseeing employees, as well as working with other sheep breeders and faculty members," Gager said. "I learn something new every day."

Konza's blooming Daisy
by Lindsey Jones
"DAISY! DAISY!"
Thomas Van Slyke, site manager at Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, called out to the 18-month-old buffalo.
Following a deep, rumbling grunt, a furry head poked around a tarped panel inside the bison corral.
"She's friendly," Van Slyke said, "but sometimes she's a little too friendly. We don't relish having orphans because we don't want it to be a problem for safety. You want them to be naturally stand-offish."
Daisy was orphaned shortly after birth. Van Slyke said survival for orphans in the wild was low. Even when Konza personnel cared for orphaned calves, the survival rate was only 50 percent.
To care for Daisy, Van Slyke worked with K- State students and James Larkins, foreman for Konza. Along with general maintenance, the students helped with orphaned calves, tagging, weighing and sorting to sell.
"The students help with everything," Van Slyke said. "They're very valuable to us."
Alex Miller, senior in agronomy, said he helped care for Daisy when she was young.
"I helped bottle feed her milk in the morning," Miller said, "and I fed her when she could eat feed."
With students and staff on her side, one orphan thrives

Though they have only had to raise a few orphans at Konza, Van Slyke said orphans were a common occurrence, especially for first-time mothers.
"Sometimes the mother will lose the calf," Van Slyke said. "Or if it's the first calf that she's had, she'll just abandon the calf. It's not unusual."
Van Slyke said feeding a young animal tended to make them bond with humans, but most orphans adapted to the herd fairly easily.
"What usually happens is that they assimilate into the herd as the herd comes and goes from the corral, which it does all the time," Van Slyke said. "There are individuals in and out daily, so they'll take off and go with the herd."
Though Miller said he wasn't too fond of the bison initially, he had learned to appreciate them.
"At first I didn't really care for them because I had been around cattle a lot," Miller said, "but I think they've got their place. They're pretty neat animals."

fresh retreat
^STEWDFF

Gardens undergo renovations, offer place to learn, relax
HIDDEN BETWEEN the bustle of people and traffic at K- State was a place of tranquility and beauty — the Kansas State University Gardens.
Gregg Eyestone, associate director of the Gardens, said the project was important to the university and had potential to be one of the main attractions.
"If you look at other universities with or without horticulture programs, they have or are establishing botanical gardens," Eyestone said. "To compete for students and faculty, it is a needed resource. Horticulture students study the plants for course work, where non-horticulture students visit the gardens for enjoyment."
Scott McElwain, gardens director, said working in the gardens gave students training for greenhouse management, landscape design and horticulture science.
"Students use the gardens for study - such as plant identification - and for hands-on training," McElwain said. "The Gardens are an outdoor laboratory."
McElwain said students worked there throughout the school year and during breaks. Marie Noll, junior in animal sciences and industry and student worker at the Gardens, said the job fit her well.
"I work there because it's really relaxing and convenient," Noll said. "It's right on campus, the hours are flexible and I like to work outdoors."
Horticultural students, along with a full- and part-time staff and volunteers, maintained the gardens, Eyestone said. He said departments, including Landscape Architecture and Human Ecology, visited the gardens for educational purposes.

ATTACHING THE STRING to the display cage, Michelle Kaczmarek, graduate student in ento- mology, hangs butterfly larvae in the butterfly conservatory. New larvae came in each week. Once in, Kaczmarek used hot glue to fasten the larvae to strings and put them in the conservatory so they could hatch and fly about. Some insects were pur- chased for as little as $5, but the more exotic ones
— such as the rarer taran- tulas or large centipedes
— cost as much as $300. "In terms of variety, by the time we are finished here, we will have a better variety of insects at this insect zoo than most any place in the country," said Ralph Charlton, director of the Butterfly Conservatory and Insect Zoo. — Photo by Karen Mikols
THE NEWEST ZOO in Manhattan was in the top 10 places to visit in the United States before it opened, accord- ing to USA Today. On Oct. 18, President Jon Wefald and rep- resentatives from the Department of Entomology dedicated the Insect Zoo as an addition to the Butterfly Conservatory and KSU Gardens.
"We are incredibly pleased to be part of this prestigious list," said Ralph Charlton, director of the Butterfly Conservatory and Insect Zoo, "especially considering that the K- State Insect Zoo is the only one among the top 10 that is affiliated with a university, and is not a commercial venture."
Sonny Ramaswamy, professor and head of the Department of Entomology, said the zoo had an estimated 100 species of insects in addition to pinned specimens of butterflies, moths, and beetles, and planned on adding more.
"We have an amazing collection, one of the best anywhere," Ramaswamy said. "We breed them and they make babies, lots of babies and the babies are sold."
In the zoo, visitors were greeted with a rainforest display showcasing different insects. Following the path through the building, people learned from posters and exhibits of various species of bugs.
Another feature was a mock kitchen, which included live insects to give visitors an idea of what could be lurking in their kitchen.
Finishing out the tour was a cave atmosphere complete with glowing scorpions and the collection of tarantulas that Ramaswamy said was the best in any insect zoo.
"It's a big educational tool," Michelle Kaczmarek, graduate student in entomology, said. "We have so many different species, and just to learn about them is a great experience."

uper bugs invaded K- State's entomology research. The writhing insects plagued agricultural crops and defied pesticides by becoming resistant to the toxins.
Three types of pesticides exist — contact, stomach and airborne toxins.
"Nerve poisons are in most insecticides," Sonny Ramas- wamy, head of entomology, said. "Be sure to read the back of the insecticide label to make sure it doesn't harm your plant."
Ramaswamy said insects were placed in different classes depending on their resistance levels. Gerald Wilde, profes- sor of entomology, said there were more than 500 pesticide - resistant insects.
"Insects have durability to insecticides," Wilde said. "When you spray, you select those individual genes. This is called selection process."
Some insects, like cockroaches, formed a thicker exo- skeleton to escape the effects of insecticide. They developed resistance rapidly to several insecticides, Ramaswamy said.
"Biochemical resistance modifies the nervous system component," he said. "It also modifies the metabolic com- ponent as well."
While many studies involved insect resistance at K- State, one of the more popular studies was the Bacilus Thuringien- sis corn study. BT was a chemical toxin engineered into corn crops that killed the insects feeding on corn, Ramaswamy said. Thirty percent of the corn grown in Kansas in 2002 was BT-Corn.
BY ADDING ALCOHOL with insecticide to petrie dishes containing bugs, Gerald Wilde, professor in entomology, is able to tell which bugs are resistant to insecticides. "By testing a number of different con- centrations, we are able to find the concentration which will kill 50 percent of the bugs," Wilde said. — Photo by Matt Stamey

Cancer Research Center dedicated to founder
TERRY JOHNSON, founder of the Basic Cancer Research Center, died of liver cancer Oct. 27, 22 years after he started the non-profit organization.
The center, which was renamed the Terry C. Johnson
Center for Basic Cancer Research after his death, moved
into Chalmers Hall, a new facility, on Sept. 30. Prior to his
passing, Johnson had said the addition would be
significant for the center.
"The cancer center is the successful entity that it is because of Terry Johnson," Janis Galitzer, administrative assistant at the center, said. "He was a good leader and a good friend." Chalmers Hall, named in honor of John Chalmers, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, provided laboratories for the research center in the 56,000-square-foot addition to Ackert Hall.
Unlike other research centers, which involved graduate students, Galitzer said the center primarily worked with undergraduates.
An award program gave $500 to each student and $500 to the faculty member working with the student. Granting more than $250,000 in 21 years, the money was used to assist research.
"Undergraduates work with a faculty mentor," Galitzer said. "We encourage conversation between people in different disciplines."
Though the center focused on facilitating research awards, its mission included community outreach, enhancing education and the advancement of research.
Cancer researcher Richard Baybutt, associate professor in human nutrition, studied rats to investigate the effects of cigarette smoking.
"Students are involved in a number of ways," Baybutt said. "They take care of the animals and work on the analysis."
Delores Takemoto, biochemistry professor, worked with undergraduate students for Takemoto's research which involved dietary components and colon cancer.
"The cancer center has done a really good job with outreach onto campus," Takemoto said. "It introduces a large number of students to research."

MOOD5HIFTS
Students use counseling, medication to help disorder
by Jennifer Newberry
THE OCT. 31 SNOW caused a mood change for Ashley Hall, freshman in open-option. A sufferer of seasonal depression, her mood fluctuated between sadness and happiness, depending on the amount of sunlight outside.
Nearly 45 percent of students reported some form of depression, including seasonal depression and bipolar disorder. Of the 946 clients seen by University Counseling Services, 420 showed signs of depression.
"About one -third get treatment for their symptoms," Jeana Magyar-Moe, psychology intern at Counseling Services, said. "We don't see everyone, because they're not coming in."
Bipolar disorder affected nearly 2.3 million Americans. K- State's population reflected the national average of 0.81 percent for those with bipolar disorder, Barbara Pearson, psychologist at Counseling Services, said.
Bipolar was the third most common mood disorder nationally, according to Psychiatry24x7.com. Offset by mania, bipolar disorder swings from extremes of being excessively elated to being gloomy and hopeless.
"In general, a person will have little motivation to get out of bed and go to class," Magyar-Moe said. "They get behind in their classes and don't feel very happy when it happens. It's a negative cycle."
Depression and bipolar disorder affected students when it came to studying and paying attention in classes because both interfered with concentration.
"When you're dealing with extreme emotions, it's hard to study," Hall said. "Your concentration gets depleted. It's hard to do anything for long periods of time."
Treating bipolar and depression depended on the person's needs. Counseling Services used a variety of techniques, including biofeedback and bibliotherapy.
"The biggest step is to come in and say what's going on," Magyar-Moe said. "We help them to understand what's happening to them. Those that need medication, we refer to a psychiatrist."
Understanding limitations helped recovery, Hall said.
"People can't always deal with this like I do," she said. "I don't like to take medication, so I don't. If you don't have a very good understanding of your limitations then you need to take things slowly and be on medication or in therapy."

a longf strange trip
visa mishap sends professor home
C/3
IS
After budget cuts forced his three-year stint at the University of Washington to end, Stephen Glaister, assistant professor of philosophy, came east.
As the native New Zealander arrived in Manhattan in early August, he realized the paperwork for his soon-to-be-expired work visa had not yet been processed.
"He arrived and we had a conversation and he realized that we had not done something on time and he told us," James Hamilton, head of the Department of Philosophy, said. "We tried to figure out any way we could to not have to send him home. Within a day or two, we realized that we had no alternative.
"The only way that was safe for him and for us so that both he and we were clear and clean and innocent in the eyes of the INS was for him to go home and reapply for entry."
So K- State paid for his flight back to Auckland, New Zealand and Glaister stayed with his family for about five weeks with no salary; living off his credit cards.
During those five weeks, Hamilton and Marcelo Sabates, associate professor of philosophy, took over the two sections of Glaister's Introduction to Philosophy class.
"It's difficult when you have to take over a class after that," Glaister said. "I had to decide whether to follow on from what they were teaching, which was somewhat different from what I
would have taught had I been here. It was a difficult situation, there are some people (students) who really wish the previous guy would keep going because they liked them, some people were the other way, too. It was just an unfortunate situation in general."
Hamilton said something needed to be done, especially with so much help offered to international students, at the International Student Center, but none offered to faculty.
"Although we haven't made this kind of goof before, it's not impossible that it would happen again," Hamilton said. "It's not something that we do routinely. It's amazing. We have a large number of international faculty at a research university and no central office for helping them out."
After 12 years in the United States, Glaister said he knew things were not that bad, and, in fact, could have been a lot worse.
"No one did anything really wrong, things were just screwed up," Glaister said. "The law is the law and we follow it and accept all consequences of that.
"If I had been from any country that was a little bit suspicious, then I might not have been able to make it back. I would have been in a sorry state if I had been from a place that had suspicions about it, and you really feel for people. Those are the people who have the interesting stories."

Professor preaches history
Zeal for subject ignites Sanders
as much as Charles Sanders did.
"I've got to have the best job in the world," Sanders, assistant professor of history, said. "I'm teaching 19th-century American history, arguably the best subject in the world, to the best students in the world — and I'm doing it at a place like Kansas State University.
"I don't want President Wefald to hear this, but it's the kind of thing you'd do for free."
Sanders' love for his job was evident in his high-powered teaching style, which students described as energetic, charismatic and animated.
"He keeps people on the edge of their seats," Matthew Swift, freshman in political science, said. "For those who have trouble staying awake, I think he makes it very hard for them to stay uninterested."
Sanders said part of his energetic classroom style could be attributed to his Southern upbringing and passion for stories.
"We (Southerners) are great storytellers," Sanders said. "We relay our history often in narrative form or in songs or poetry."
Matthew Lower, sophomore in park management and conservation, said Sanders' teaching style helped him.
"Some professors will lecture and so forth, but they're just regurgitating information," Lower said. "He enjoys making the class fun and interesting, as well as informative. He's a higher- caliber teacher."
Sanders agreed teaching involved more than reciting facts.
byjaci Boydston
"A lot of history teaching is art," Sanders said. "You've got to have the facts, but when I talk about history with the blood in it, what I mean is, I want history where they get the feel as well as the facts."
Most students Sanders taught named history as one of their least favorite subjects, which he attributed to boring presentation.
"They've all heard (the material)," Sanders said. "They've read it in a thousand books, and they're sick to death of it. That's the reason they don't raise their hands and say, 'oh, I love history' In fact, they do love it, they just don't know it yet."
Other factors caused students to dislike history, as well.
"One of the reasons that history isn't fun, isn't interesting, is because we come into it on the other side," Sanders said. "We know what happens. Well, if you start on this end, and you walk through it one step at a time, seeing it as they saw it, then it becomes very relevant. There are a lot of twists and turns."
Sanders' teaching approach involved bringing in historical artifacts and teaching events from different points of view. Sanders spent one class period teaching the American Revolution from a British point of view.
"We always read history from an American point of view," Sanders said. "Not this time. The art of teaching is, I'm always looking for the hook. The hook here is: you're going to be a British soldier. It's a part of our history that needs to be told."
Sanders said history should be important to everyone because it was the story of all Americans.
"Look at who we Americans are now, the challenges that we still have here," Sanders said. "It's about all of us. It's not a story for Montana as opposed to Mississippi. It's about Montana, and it's about Mississippi, and it's about all of us."

TICKING AWAY MOMENTS of history, Sanders' famed pocketwatch added to his charasmatic persona among students.

LECTURING GRADUATE
about the Civil War, Charles Sanders gestures for added emphasis. Ironically, Sanders received little education about the Civil War growing up.

They avoided for a long time any study at all, any recognition, of the era of the Civil War." — Photo by Kelly Glasscock

Students coach youth to gain experience
TAKING TRAINING PRINCIPLES and coaching philosophies to the court, field or mat, students in Mary Lou Morgan's coaching practicum applied classroom knowledge to real-life coaching experiences.
"I want them to get a realistic view of what coaching entails," Morgan said. "Most are athletes who want to go into coaching because they've loved playing. The practicum helps them make the transition from being an athlete to a coach."
Partnering with Manhattan High School and Manhattan Parks and Recreation, the Department of Secondary Education arranged opportunities for students to coach and assist in a variety of sports.
"It's set up so we can get the kids out working with youth," Morgan said. "Those who work directly with the high school in town gain an awful lot from it."
Ronald James, senior inelementary education, coached wrestling for the first time at Manhattan High School. He said his experiences wrestling in high school helped him coach others.
"I wasn't the greatest wrestler in high school," James said. "I wasn't a state champ, but I can look at what someone is doing and tell them what they're doing wrong to help them expand their ability."

"They all have their ideas of how they want to do things," Lee Woodford, head wrestling coach, said. "When they get out on their own, they look at coaches from high school and others they admire, and they develop their own style. But while they're here, they do it our way."
Designed to fit the students' schedules, the practicum allowed participants to build as much coaching into their daily lives as they wished.
"They are exposed to the day- to - day grind," Woodford said. "A lot of college kids don't have a concept of that, but that's what we do every day. You give up your weekends to do this sport. It's not like in football where you pop in for a few hours and you're done. Ours are all- day suckers. They learn real fast how much time is involved in it."
James said he didn't mind the time commitment.
"I love being there," he said. "We had practice on New Year's Day at 8:30 in the morning and I was there. I'm going to be there every time they are."
As part of the practicum, students were eligible to receive a coaching endorsement.
"It's essential to education and finding a job," James said. "The coaching endorsement is one more aspect to help me get a job as a wrestling coach."
Those coaching for the practicum gained a better perspective of coaching on a professional level.
"They get exposed to exactly what it takes to be in this kind of a position," Woodford said. "They realize how many individuals you have to deal with and how different each are."

pour a glass of wing
students learn to taste the flavors
Four different glasses and a few other cups sat in front of each student. A basket of crackers adorned each table. After the glasses had been filled with a small amount of wine, the tasting process began. "You swirl to open (the wine) up," Emily Nemechek, senior in hotel and restaurant management, said. "Then you smell it and taste it."
K-State offered a single credit-hour course that encompassed choosing and tasting wines. During the two -hour class, students tasted eight wines and described characteristics of each wine. In addition to tasting, students listened to a lecture about different types of wines and when each should be used.
Nemechek previously took the class.
"I'm actually taking it for credit this time," Nemechek said. "The second time around you have a base to go off of. It's easier to smell different aromas and taste different flavors."
Elizabeth Barrett, associate professor in hotel, restaurant and institutional management, and dietetics, said the class
was offered because students needed to understand more
U
about wines.
"A lot of our students want to broaden their knowledge base about hospitality," Barrett said. "They just want to know
more about wines."
Because alcohol was not allowed in classrooms on campus, the class met at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, but that did not prevent students from taking the class.
Jacob Forgy, senior in hotel and restaurant management, said the class was a good experience and would help those taking the class apply what they learned to future, professional situations.
"My favorite part is learning about the wine," Jacob Forgy, senior in hotel and restaurant management, said. "I never really drank wine before, so it broadens my experience."
Other students took the class because of an interest in the subject.
"I need an extra credit hour to graduate in May and I like wine," Kristin Griffey, senior in apparel marketing and design, said. "My favorite wine is Riesling. I like sweet wine and it's a pretty sweet one."
Griffey said it was interesting to describe the wines because each contained different flavors she was previously unaware. Brandy Sherwood, senior in social science, agreed and said there was more to wine than she originally thought.
"I enjoy getting to taste all the different wines," Sherwood said. "Wines are so complex. There can be so many different things in it."

They shopped for gear and equipment on eBay. They quoted Lloyd Christmas from "Dumb and Dumber" on the back of the club T-shirt. They watched Winter X Games on ESPN. They talked about getting "hooked on it" the first time they snapped on a set of skis.
Barely a year in existence, the club grew to 15 members. Not all attended every meeting, not all went on the ski trips, but that exemplified the group's philosophy, Rein Herrman, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said.
"Our club is a social club," Herrman said. "If you want to show up, you show up, is the way I look at it. If you want to have fun with us, come have fun with us."
Herrman said he joined after seeing a flier about the club's trip to Aspen, Colo.
"When I got here, I always assumed there would be a snow ski club (on campus), but found out there wasn't," David Burch, president and junior in management, said. "So I just got some friends together and we just try to ski whenever possible and hang out together."
The club's first ski trip was during winter break when they went to, as their T-shirt said, "Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen, (Colo.)"
For their second trip, on a sunny day before Groundhog Day, three members went to Snow Creek in Weston, Mo.

"For the plains it's cool, because there's no mountains, but there's still some place to ski," Lane Roney, sophomore in industrial engineering, said. "But compared to other places I've been, it's nothing really."
Unseasonably warm temperatures caused skiers to leave their jackets in their cars, and the man-made snow to get slushy.
"It's really sticky so it slows you down a lot," David Burch, president and junior in management, said. "It's a lot different than when it's 30 degrees."
After the three took jumps in the Lewis and Clark Rail and Jump Park, Rein Herrman, sophomore in mechanical engineering, decided to go through the moguls. Although he broke his ski pole, Herrman said moguls were his favorite.
"It's like putting together a puzzle," Herrman said. "If you don't turn at the right time you might get thrown in the air or, well, break your pole. It's something you have to do quite a bit to get better at it, and I need to get better at it."
On the two-and-a-half-hour ride to Snow Creek, Burch and Herrman talked about ways to attract new members.
"We need more awareness of it," Herrman said. "There is a lot of people that love to ski but don't really know about our club."
With more people attending their monthly meetings in the K- State Student Union, the group could experience growth in many ways, including participating in competitions, Burch said.
"There is definitely a lot of skiers who go to K- State," Burch said. "But a lot of them just don't know about it. Some people do know about ski club but just don't have the time to do it. We need more social activities to make it fun in between ski trips. Instead of just having meetings, going out and having a good time."

Ankenman, publicity chair and senior in fine arts, Julia Koller, president and junior in fine arts, shares ideas for the organization. "It's a student club for visual and graphic design- ers and illustrators," Koller said. "It's a professional organization designed to prepare us toward business. The club expe- rienced a shift in power this year. Last year, the seniors who were running the club all graduated at the same time, so the club membership dropped. Not just the membership dropped, the officers dropped down to zero." — Photo by Evan Semon
Koller, and Ankenman, discuss club business and promo- tions at a meeting of the members of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Although most meetings were relatively small, many members showed up when guest lectur- ers spoke about design and art. "(The club is) like a forum for artists or designers to come together and share their ideas or promote design," David Burke, senior in fine arts, said. "We thought about going to schools and promoting design to little children and stuff like that." — Photo by Evan Semon

Loss of membership, senior leadership poses problems for campus organization
ALL OFFICERS in the American Institute of Graphic Arts Club and many members graduated in Spring 2002. Julia Koller, junior in fine arts, was elected as the 2003 president and experienced a change in the club.
"The number one obstacle is the membership basically graduated," Koller said. "Number two, the AIGA has put together a new rule that we can't actually be affiliated with the club unless each member pays a $65 fee, and that's pretty expensive. So I think those are the problems right now."
There were 20 members in the K- State chapter, but at a general meeting only three or four people showed up.
"It just takes a little bit for people to come," David Burke, senior in fine arts, said. "Especially artists because our homework isn't like other peoples' homework where they read books and take tests. Our homework is major projects so a lot of people don't find time to come."
But at meetings with special speakers, Koller said the room was packed.
"Speakers come in and talk about design and artwork," Koller said. "Mostly we are trying to develop a network for graduation, for when we go out into the business world we want to be able to have good working relationships with people. It's about sharing ideas and knowledge."
For the group to stay registered as a K- State organization it had to keep at least five members.
"Most clubs have been around for years," said Brooke Taylor, student secretary at the Office of Student Activities and Services. "It's easier for most of the bigger clubs to keep members. A lot of clubs drop out and don't make it."
The club discussed solutions to prevent depletion.
"I believe that the best solution is promotion," Koller said. "We need to put together interesting meetings and events, and then heavily promote them through fliers, e-mail, and in- class announcements. There really isn't anything I can do about the $65 membership fee, but I think students will be more willing to join when they learn about how the AIGA supports designers and illustrators professionally."

new technique for counseling
Group finds innovative use for sand, creative way to communicate with child
RUNNING THEIR FINGERS along the smooth grains, Creative Arts Therapy Students spent an afternoon molding sand at their first Sand Tray Therapy Workshop, Feb. 2.
A play therapist demonstrated sand tray therapy as a counseling tool.
The process began with miniatures — people, animals, buildings and plants — and a tray of sand. Patients were en- couraged to create a picture or scene in the sand tray, about whatever they wanted, Denise Filley, play therapist, said.
"You have them tell you a story about what they've made and you talk about it and relate it back to their life," Filley said. "It usually helps them work through issues or problems that they're having in their life, or do some healing if they've had some emotional trauma."
After learning the process the patient went through, each member created a scene in the tray, and then the group discussed several members' trays.
"When we did it, it was interesting how the atmosphere in the room changed," said Linda Dunne, graduate student in speech and CATS president. "Everyone became engrossed in what they were doing, like a meditation almost."
The group learned the types of questions to ask a patient, and the symbolic meaning of objects.
"Everything that is there (in the tray) has a symbol, has a representation for something," Filley said. "It has different meanings for differ- ent people."
Filley said sand tray therapy benefitted counseling patients.

she said. "It can still be very healing for them.
It's more about the whole experience — the healing — than talking about it."
Learning sand therapy helped the group because it showed a different way to connect with people, Alissa Dun- can, graduate student in speech, said.

Benefits of Sand Tray Therapy
Sand tray therapy allows for better communication with younger children.
• Letting children play with the miniatures and sand helps them improve in therapy and heal from emotional scars.
Sand tray therapy works for adolescents as well as adults.
• The therapy allows an inner part of a person to come out.

Julie Christensen, junior in theater, and Tamarind Schaffler, graduate student in speech, work together on their sand tray creations. "This is really a great opportunity for all of our members," Sharit Kelley, graduate student in family studies and human services, said.

Sweet „««, Serenade
by Jennifer Newberry
Valentine-grams provide opportunity for couples to give gifts
E'S DAY GIFT, Valentine -grams were offered to students and community by the American String Teachers Association. One of four songs — "You Are My Sunshine," "Makin' Whoopi," "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and "Love Me Tender" — could be selected for a personal sweetheart serenade.
In addition to being serenaded, the recipients were given a red rose, candy and a card.
"People don't normally get this — it's a surprise," Timothy Crawford, senior in music education, said. "You normally expect a rose or card, but not a rose, card, candy and serenade."
For $25, the Valentine -grams answered the question of what to give a significant other on Feb. 14, Bethany Adams, sophomore in music education, said.
"It's an important activity because sometimes Valentine's Day sneaks up on you," Adams said. "It's a cool alternative to last-minute gift ideas."
Besides doing the activity for enjoyment, the string teachers needed a fund -raiser for the national conference they planned to attend March 27-29 in Columbus, Ohio. The group wanted to raise awareness of the services to increase the number of serenades from eight last year to at least 10 this year, Adams said.
"It's important for us because of nationals," Addi Foster, senior in music education, said. "It's a function that makes money and shows people in the community string play and gets us out in the open. It exposes them to our organization. It's a novelty really."
The group got a positive response from the community, Foster said.
"Everyone really liked it," she said. "We got cards from a couple of gentlemen who ordered them. They said it was a really nice way to do something for Valentine's Day."

Students practice together for annual spring opera, share music
JM March 6 -8, the audience awaited the K-State Opera Guild's spring performance of "The Merry Wives of Windsor." The Shakespearean comedy was based on a man tricked by two women he deceived.
"It's a delightful, light opera," William Wingfield, instruc- tor and conductor of the operetta, said. "I like the comic aspects. It's a beautiful, charming comedy."
Players in the opera practiced every weeknight for six weeks before opening night.
"You train in a classical style," Allison Keane, president and junior in applied music, said. "We use vibrato because it is more natural for the body. It's mainly about relaxation and letting your body do the work."
Opera Guild provided music intellects with a chance to get to know people who shared the same appreciation for vocal performance.
"It's like a forum and you learn a lot about things going on in the opera world," Virginia Pape, junior in theater, said. "You can see real people who've made it."
The opera guild was comprised of 30 members, both music and non-music majors.
"I just loved to sing and opera is a different level of sing- ing," Matthew Fallesen, senior in applied music, said. "I just wanted to learn the techniques of real singing. Singing with good singers is the fun part of opera. It's a learning experi- ence. You learn from each other."

Presentation uses modern software, Bible references to plot Bethlehem star
from audience members as Frederick Larson, former Texas A&M University law professor, revealed the science behind the secrets of the Bethlehem star and important dates in the biblical life of Jesus Christ.
The Lutheran Student Fellowship invited Larson to speak at McCain Auditorium, Jan. 30-31. He used a star-charting program to show where the stars were 2,000 years ago.
Larson's presentation was free to students and community members.
"I really liked how he pointed out all the biblical refer- ences," Amanda Engelman, senior in history, said. "He hit the high points that were important and made you want to go to the Web site to learn the rest of the details."
Larson's presentation broke down passages from the Bible and his computer showed the skies on the specific date.
"Computer software has become so capable," he said. "With the software, you can observe any time of day or weather."
Larson finished his presentation by using historical records and Bible verses to pin down the exact day Christ was crucified and then went through a series of astronomical events that occurred on that day.
"My favorite part is the last few moments when the whole story comes together — when the poem is completed and the meaning of it all comes clear," he said. "It's shocking that God would orchestrate such a poem of such amazing intricate detail."
Larson said there obviously was a deeper meaning.
"You'd have to be an idiot to not connect the dots," he said. "With so much detail, it's impossible to think it's an accident."
Larson said audience members had visible reactions to his presentations.
"A high percent find the star beyond interesting — they have a strong emotional reaction," he said. "You hear a lot of 'I was just blown away' You see lots of red eyes. It's common to see people cry."

AT HIS BETHLEHEM STAR
Rick Larson uses his laptop to rewind time and show the audience where the star was. Larson began the evening by telling the story of how he turned down a young, neighbor- hood entrepreneur who was selling Christmas lawn decorations. Larson, who admitted he made a mistake, made his own decorations — three wise men and the Bethlehem star — and that was where his hunt started. "I realized I knew almost nothing about the Star of Bethle- hem," he said. "I thought, 'wow, what if the star was a real event — wouldn't that be cool.'" — Photo by Zach Long

Players forgo expensive lodging while on road, stay with opposing team members
WHEN THE WOMEN'S RUGBY TEAM traveled to play a game, members of the team did not stay in hotels.
Instead, they settled in with members of the opposing team.
"This has been a tradition ever since I've played here," Shelley Vering, senior in marketing and international business, said. "Since there isn't a lot of funding for the team, this helped to save money and it was a good way of meeting new people."
After the games, members of both teams celebrated by going to parties or banquets. The host teams planned the post- game entertainment. Vering said businesses often sponsored the celebrations to help with funds.
Fund- raisers and money supplied by the university assisted the team with funding for travel.
"I didn't mind carpooling to and from the other cities in order to play in a game," Amy Marsh, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said. "Singing along to the radio helped pass the time. But most of the time was spent figuring out where we were supposed to be going."
Recruitment for the team soared to an all-time high of
50 participants. Vering said last year there were 10 women on the team.
"We really made the team more known this season," Vering said. "Word of mouth, fliers and advertisements in the newspaper all contributed to the increase of players."
With the majority of the team being new to the game, Vering said the women's initial reaction to the amount of energy needed was enthusiastic.
"The girls who were new to the sport were extremely respectful and willing to learn," said Kristy Rukavina, senior in architectural engineering and modern languages. "The inexperience wasn't necessarily a problem — it was just a hurdle that we got past."

Reception recognizes efforts of students, faculty leaders, campus organizations
THROUGH THE THEME "Leadership for a Lifetime," the Blue Key Senior Honorary organized Leadership Recognition Day to honor and recognize students and advisers of registered organizations on campus.
Attendees were invited to a reception at the Alumni Center ballroom, Feb. 10, where Michael Dikeman, of Block & Bridle Club, won the 2002 Advisor of the Year Award.
"A lot of times it seems different leaders go unnoticed and we are really focusing on trying to promote honor and recognition to those leaders," said Tyler Breeden, director of Leadership Recognition Day and senior in agricultural eco- nomics. "We just want to give them their moment in the sun and say thank you for the work you've done."
The event served as a way for Blue Key to find potential members on campus, but more importantly, Riley Scott, senior in horticulture, said, it served as a way to recognize student leaders and advisers on campus.
"It can serve a lot of functions," Scott said. "It's a great way to reach some future leaders and current leaders on campus and let them know about (Blue Key). But I would say that's secondary to the recognition we want to give a current leader on campus and also an up-and-coming leader and their adviser; and just say, 'thank you, we realize all the hard work you put in to K- State and we just want to thank you for that and recognize you for that.'"
With almost 200 people at the dinner, all 12 Blue Key members played an intricate role in organizing the event.
"In the sense of recognizing leaders across K- State, this is what gets our name out the most," Tammy Jo Osborn, presi- dent and senior in political science, said. "In the sense that a lot of people come, we recognize a lot of people, and it takes a lot of time and a lot of energy to put this thing together."
The theme, Breeden said, was based on the concept that leadership goes beyond time spent on campus.
"Being a leader is a lifestyle," he said. "It's not something you gain through being in clubs and organizations. It's something that you continue to grow and develop and take advantage of leadership opportunities your whole life."

Elite group of students prepare for national finals of financial planning, gain real-world experiences
to participate in the American Express Financial Planning Invitational had one month to complete a fictional, financial plan based on information provided to the team.
"We have the month of February to write a 150 -page comprehensive plan," said Jamie Breeden, senior in family studies and human services. "We pretty much work on everything as a team."
Wesley Uhl, senior in family studies and human services, said preparation for the competition was a lengthy process.
"It's almost the equivalent of working a full-time job," Uhl said. "We put that many hours in."
Breeden said the competition provided valuable experience before she got into the business world.
"It's a good way for us to apply our knowledge," she said. "It gets our names out there and people start to know us out in the career world."
Lucas Bucl, senior in finance, said the competition was good for his future.
"It's great experience because I want to be a financial planner," Bucl said. "You have to understand all the concepts and put all the formulas in yourself."
The rules forbade use of computerized financial software, but Microsoft Word and Excel could be used.
Two teams from K- State competed within the university
for the opportunity to send a plan to the actual competition, but only one team represented the school.
The second team comprised of Alisa Weeks, senior in family studies and human services; Jennifer Cline, senior in marketing and international business, and Kyle Yaege, senior in family studies and human services.
Only six schools were invited to travel to the finals and present financial plans.
Gabriel Asebedo, president of Future Financial Planners and junior in family studies and human services, said K- State placed in the top six each year.
"The students who go on this competition are the select or the cream of the crop," Asebedo said. "The American Express competition is the creme de la creme of competitions."
One main focus of the Financial Planners focuses was to spread word of the organization on campus, Asebedo said. The group brought people in to speak about financial planning at meetings and began working on plans to attend events around the region.
"This semester, we're focusing on travel," he said. "Last semester, we had a series of guest lecturers."
Breeden said speakers were helpful to the group.
"There are so many jobs you can take in financial planning," Breeden said. "I wouldn't know about those if we didn't have the speakers."

two heads are better than one
question-and-answer game ignites teams intellect to compete for cash prize
while judges, time keepers and scorekeepers prepared for the battle to take place in Blue- mont Hall. The competition was for the quickest minds.
College Bowl, sponsored by the Union Program Council, took place Feb. 1. Teams competed in the double- elimina- tion competition by answering general-knowledge ques- tions.
Before any competing began, some teams chose to prac- tice and be as mentally ready as possible.
"We thought it would be good to brush up," Garett Relph, sophomore in political science, said. "It will help a little bit — get us back in shape."
Relph said practicing involved a friend reading questions to the team members and treating it like a regular competi- tion. He said he believed the team would do well.
"We're pretty confident," he said. "We figure we should take third at least."
Daniel Strom, sophomore in nutritional sciences, said he and his team practiced the same way.
"We were able to make a better team," Strom said. "We hope to get a feel for it, do well this year and better next year."
Other teams chose not to practice.
"I haven't done anything besides what I always do," Da- rin Bringham, senior in management information systems,
said. "Just keeping informed about the news and what we normally do in classes."
During the competition, teams used buzzers to answer toss-up questions, worth 10 points each. If a team answered correctly, it had an opportunity to answer a bonus question worth between 20 and 30 points. Rounds were split into two, seven-minute halves.
Thomas Roth, junior in accounting; Benjamin Fenwick, sophomore in political science; Jim Copeland, senior in mathematics; Dennis Goin, junior in history, and Micah Hawkinson, senior in English, constituted the winning team.
"All the guys were really well informed about a lot of different things," Hawkinson said. "For me, (the key) was watching Jeopardy all the time."
The team won $100 and an all-expense paid trip to the regional tournament in Lawrence, Feb. 21-23.
"We might get together and play 'You Don't Know Jack' or Trivial Pursuit," he said. "We probably aren't going to have a lot of formal preparation."
Ashley Friesen, UPC special events committee chair and junior in English, said College Bowl went well.

16 players give sweep a new meaning after yearly game of broomball at ice rink
at one location would symbolize a community cleanup, but Saturday, Feb. 8, members of the Lutheran Campus Ministry and the Canterbury Club applied those cleaning tools on the ice rink at City Park.
Wearing sneakers and armed with brooms, 16 students and friends took the ice to compete in a game of broomball.

Frigid Conditions
continued from page 168
"Once a year in February we rent the rink to play," Pastor Jayne Thompson said. "They say we are the only wild ones who do this."
With rules similar to hockey, and played with a child- size soccer ball, broomball incorporated teamwork and control.
Broomball originated in the early 1900s in Canada. The first games were recorded in Saskatchwan in 1909. The recreation evolved to formal tournaments in countries around the world, including official teams in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The Lutheran Campus Ministry began playing broomball when Thompson came to K- State fall 1993.
As members gathered at the center of the rink, Thompson stated the rules: no high sticking, no whacking, if someone goes down make sure they are OK.
►
Teams were chosen and positions decided, then two opposing forwards faced off over the ball.
One. Two. Three. Whack.
The game began.
Players shuffled across the slippery surface while trying to make contact with the ball.
Shouts and screams erupted as players lost their footing on the ice and fell.
"There's a strategy: play hard and try not to kill people," Thompson said. "It's controlled chaos."
Matthew Cobb, leader of the Canterbury Club, learned a few tricks during his first experience with broomball Saturday.
"Mostly play the person," he said. "Get in position and try to hit the ball."
Cristy Fenton, senior at Manhattan Christian College, was another first-time player.
"It's a lot of fun to see everybody," she said. "It's a good way to release some stress from the week. It's a little competitive because most of us know each other, but most aren't all that serious."
The game's competition constituted cheers for goals, chants for intimidation and a few battle wounds.
Bruised shins, cut fingers and bumped heads included some of the risks of the game.
"It's amazing we don't get more hurt," Thompson said. "It's a frenzy out there."
Daniel Reazin, senior in elementary education, sported a bruised hip from the week before the game, so he stayed out of major conflicts by serving as goalie.
Although teams started keeping score, players became engrossed in the game and lost count, which was why the games always ended in a tie, Thompson said.
Reazin said the competitiveness concluded at the completion of the game.
"It's real for a while out there," he said, "but at the end, it's just for fun."
After two hours of play in the frigid environment and four bent brooms, members went to a coffee shop to get warm and enjoy discussions.

Literary magazine gives students a place to publish their artistic works
3NE, the student- run literary magazine, showcased written and artistic work of students nationwide. The publication was comprised of poetry, fiction, non- fiction, photography and other visual art samples.
"We choose the best of all the submissions, not just the best from K- State," Shannon Draper, graduate student in English, said. "It gives the magazine a professional quality."
Each section editor had a staff of three to six readers in charge of judging the merits of each submission. The section editor first read the stories to determine which reader was best suited to judge the entry.
"We divide the entries up and the readers pick the top few in each category," said Erin Billing, co- editor in chief and graduate student in English. "Certain language and writing work better for people to read."
Once entries were chosen for the magazine, a competition determined the best entries in each section. Winners were awarded a cash prize and special recognition in the contributor's section.
In addition to publishing the magazine, the editors designed and maintained the publication's Web site. As editors updated the site, they tried to include useful features for people interested in the magazine, Stephen Sink, co- editor in chief and graduate student in English, said.
"We were thinking of including things like information about our contest winners, and maybe the entries that won," Sink said. "We could also make some of the boring stuff, like advertising, more interesting."
Touchstone received entries from writers all around the country, Draper said.
"We get quite a lot of entries that aren't from K- State," she said. "A large part of the stack, about 50 or 60, is from out of state."

holiday sparks new awareness
Club organizes Sexual Responsibility Week, condom rose sale to celebrate Valentine's Day
IN A DIMLY LIT ROOM in the back of Aggie Station, a small group of students sat around tables, eating and social- izing.
However, these students were not discussing classes or weekend plans. As members of Sexual Health Awareness Peer Educators, they discussed risk factors, STDs and roses made of condoms.
"Our basic function is to educate the K- State community," said Shana Kerstetter, senior in family studies and human services. "A lot of college students don't have enough educa- tion on sexual awareness."
SHAPE kicked off Sexual Responsibility Week, Feb. 10. Members distributed information in the K- State Student Union. Their highlight event involved selling bouquets of roses made of condoms to raise awareness before Valentine's Day.
"We're not promoting sex," lessica Ballard, junior in nutrition and exercise science, said. "We want people to be responsible."
Members said their message was an important one to bring to K- State.
"Being a college student, this is one of the most valuable and interesting topics," Abigail Maze, senior in biology, said. "The more you know, the more accurately you can make your choices."
SHAPE set up booths in the Union to distribute condoms and information.
loshua Umbehr, senior in nutrition science, said many students disliked discussing those issues in public.
"No one wants to touch condoms in front of everyone," Umbehr said. "They're mature enough to have sex, but they're not comfortable talking about it."
Maze said SHAPE did not present a particular message on right or wrong sexual behavior.
"We're totally nonjudgmental about what their choices are," Maze said. "We just want them to make the choice that's best for them. Everyone has their right to their opin- ion, whether they think abstinence is the only way to go or that they can have sex with anyone who's cute. We just stress their right to be informed."
WORKING FOR SHAPE, Jacquelyn Paetzold, junior in anthropology, finishes making a condom rose. "It's a great program because people need to be more aware of the risks and keep themselves healthy," Paetzold said. "Sexual health just seems like a taboo, and we're trying to make the subject more approachable, especially for students." — Photo by Matt Elliott

In-depth classes teach students how to perform CPR on adults, infants, children
YEAR the American Red Cross Club expanded membership and programs offered to students and community members.
Aside from helping with blood drives and assisting in emergency disaster relief, club members taught first-aid and CPR courses for students, area elementary school children, and community members.
Dr. Briana Nelson, club adviser and assistant professor of family studies and human services, said the organization included five committees dealing with health and safety issues, emergency assistance, blood services, public relations and finance.
"Finance, education, public relations — any major can be involved," she said. "People from all different walks of life and all different professions can be involved in Red Cross."
The Health and Safety Committee organized of first aid and CPR training, geared toward different groups of people. Joshua Kahler, committee chairman, and senior in biology and pre-medicine, said the training was more than just basic first aid.
"We teach first response in CPR," he said. "It's fairly in- depth. We teach how to perform CPR on adults, children and infants."
One of the newest programs instituted by the Health and Safety Committee was a first aid program for baby sitters,
geared toward 11- to 14 -year- olds, Kahler said.
The organization geared programs toward college student and adults. Nelson said the Emergency Assistance Committe prepared apartment- safety packets for landlords to distribut to their tenants. She said the packets included local emergenc numbers, tips on what to do during severe weather, and othe useful emergency information.
CPR and first-aid training were also available to K-Stat students. Kahler, a certified CPR instructor, taught course throughout the year, averaging six training sessions eac semester. He said the courses were useful for students require to become certified for their major.
Kimberly Dicus, senior in secondary education, said sh was required to complete her CPR certification in order t student teach.
"We practiced (CPR) a lot," she said. "I'll be able to d this when I need to."
Aside from training people in safety and first aid, Nelsc said the Red Cross Club was useful in recruiting moi volunteers for the national organization.
"Another purpose of the club is to get people involved an earlier age," Nelson said. "No matter where a person goe there will be a Red Cross (organization), so we want to g people involved in college so they can stay involved wherevi they end up later in life."

coach inspires wins
Oldest North American sport approaches 13th year at K- State
A NEW COACH and a split conference worked to the advantage of the Lacrosse Club as the team was predicted to win the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference.
The team had many returning players to form the 31- person squad. After a successful fall tournament season, which included a 10-9 victory over K- State Lacrosse alumni for the first time ever, the team began practice for the 2003 season, Feb. 5.
"It's just a time to get people out for the team," Brian Gehlen, graduate student in kinesiology, said. "We get extra time to play, more practice and teach the new guys to play. And, we have some fun."
The acquisition of Alexander Cohen, Nov. 4, gave the team an experienced player walking the sidelines during games.
"It's been really good (having Cohen as coach)," Gehlen said. "He's played in a lot of different places and has been around the game a while now."
Gehlen, in his fourth year on the team, said the aggressiveness and speed of the game lured him to it.
"It gives people an opportunity to strap on some pads and hit someone," he said. "I can't play football anymore, but now I still have that chance. It's a lot of fun going out there and throwing someone around."
Even though each member had to pay a $150 registration fee, fund- raisers, such as taking chair backs down at KSU Stadium, helped the team.
"I wouldn't exactly call it fun, but it's working together with your teammates," Shane Apple, senior in journalism and mass communications, said. "Any hardships you go through with your friends makes you bond more."
That bond remained well after players' collegiate lacrosse careers were finished, Daniel Ard, senior in computer engineering, said.
"Finding funds and support for us to play lacrosse in various tournaments and host our own tournaments is not easy to do," Ard said. "It is for this reason that we thank our sponsors and especially our alumni. It seems like the alumni are always at our games to support us and give us a financial hand when needed."

of the Christian faith, including
prayer, the Bible and Jesus Christ,

Kassie Schmidt, freshman . , . . . , in elementary education, Travis Schram, senior in marketing and

MattStamey &
atmosphere of the course encouraged people to participate.
"A lot of the time, Christian groups come across as just wanting to push their agenda," Schram said. "The Alpha group lets people come and discuss. We don't have an agenda. We present our ideas and let people discuss them."
Once a week, Alpha course participants gathered at the Baptist Student Center for dinner and discussion. Seated with their assigned groups, participants ate together and listened to a speaker. They then broke off into their student-led groups to share their thoughts.
"I tell the small group leaders to not be afraid to leave with things unresolved," Schram said. "If people leave with questions, it's a good thing because they're going to try and find answers. The more controversy, the more people are challenged."
During the meetings, teams of students met to pray.
"We go upstairs and pray before the speaker," Ann Crawford, senior in elementary education, said. "We pray for them and we pray for certain individuals we know and pray that everything goes smoothly."
In its fourth semester, the course expanded from a group of eight to 10 people to more than 50 interested students.
"It's a kind of grass-roots thing the way it kind of spreads through more people," Schultz said. "It's catching on because I think people's lives are being changed and they're excited so they share it with all their friends."
Schram said interest from college students was common during this time of their life.
"College is a time of emotional highs and lows. It's an accelerated life so the question, 'Is there anything more to life?' comes up," he said. "The people who come are wondering, 'What else is there?' We hope to help them find out."

Ambassadors raise money for McCain through residence tour, inform students of events
, directing visitors and relaying Christmas cheer, McCain Ambassadors became docents for the Friends of McCain Auditorium's McCain Homes Tour, Dec. 7.
The tour included six residential homes and one sorority house to raise money for the McCain Performance Series programs. More than 950 community members bought tickets for $15 for access to all seven houses.
Eugene Lauglin, treasurer of the Friends of McCain Board of Directors, said it was the most successful tour.
Ambassadors worked at the Carlin home, 1650 Sunnyslope Lane.
"It was educational to see another part of Manhattan," Mallory Malone, ambassador president and senior in finance, said. "We got to learn some history of that family."
Stationed in rooms around the house, ambassadors and Friends of McCain volunteers delivered information to tour participants and answered questions.
Ambassadors quickly memorized the information, but carried a fact card for support, Malone said.
Ambassadors worked at the Carlin home during two of the three volunteer shifts. Malone and two other members worked from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Four other members worked
from 1:30 to 4 p.m.
Malone spoke to visitors in the great room. She described how the original living room and porch became the great room and breakfast nook. She pointed out historic furniture pieces like a rocking chair from Germany, and tables that had been in the Carlin family for generations.
Upstairs Laura Davisson, senior in history, invited guests to look at the family-made quilts hanging on the walls.
Although they repetitively recited information, Davisson said it remained interesting.
"You see different people who ask different questions, which made it interesting," she said.
During the second shift, Paige Leitnaker, sophomore in psychology, described the upstairs doll room to visitors.
"It was fun to step into someone else's home," Leitnaker said. "(It was) neat especially during the holidays to see all the beautiful decorations. It is a fun time for people to get out."
Ambassadors also volunteered to usher at all McCain performances. Members informed students about events by chalking sidewalks.
"It's a great opportunity to get involved on campus and broaden your horizons," Malone said. "You get to be a voice for more cultural experiences on campus."

step education
Unique dance expresses culture, incorporates students
AS STUDENTS SLOWLY SHUFFLED into Union 212 the evening of Jan. 30, Angel Wilson, graduate student in student counseling and personnel services, took the microphone.
"There are seats in the front row," she said. "Come sit next to someone you don't know. Hug your neighbor."
As part of Diversity and Respect Appreciation Diversity In Col- lege And Life week, and in correspondence with the residence halls, the Black Student Union took the audience through the history of Stepping.
The meeting started, as always with groups clearing out of the way to form a circle and clap and sing to the tune of "Let Every Voice Sing."
Then Paris Rossiter, junior in art and BSU president, and Orion Carrington, senior in finance, went to the center of the circle.
"Yes, this is fun, but it's also a part of our heritage," Rossiter said as he prepared to perform. "Be here to learn and don't take it lightly."
After Rossiter and Carrington performed, it was time for the audience to shadow the moves. "It's great to see this many people from different cultures do some- thing fun," Audra Dudte, senior in architecture, said. "I wish we could do more stuff like this to have a good time."
With origins in South Africa, Stepping evolved from singing and chanting to include various dance moves and rhythms.
"I knew this would be an awesome experience," Erica Smith, senior in apparel textile marketing and design, said, "for students not exposed to the way, historically, black students represent themselves through Step and that kind of stuff."
After two black fraternities and one black sorority performed their versions of Step and the evening came to a close, the goal of teaching diversity had been achieved, Dudte said.
"It's (weeks such as RADICAL) very important," she said. "It opens people up to see what else is out there. It's important to adapt to new things and have an appreciation for new cultures."

Tet celebration recognizes Vietnamese tradition through music, dances
Gamma Theta Upsilon
FEB. 1 MARKED THE BEGINNING of the Year of the Ram.
The Vietnamese Student Association celebrated the Lunar New Year Feb. 8 at the K- State Student Union. The group shared the traditional "Lion Dance" and a traditional Vietnamese dance.
"We have a celebration every year for the Vietnamese community for awareness and what New Years is about," Vy Bui, senior in finance, said. "Each year there is a different animal."
The New Year festival: Tet Nguygen-Dan, was a celebrated family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving.
"Usually in bigger cities it is easier to celebrate with family," Bui said. "Here we put on a celebration to remember our heritage."
VSA invited the VSA from the University of Kansas to share in the event.
"KU and K- State have a really good relationship," Thao Nguyen, senior in secondary education, said. "We want to show our appreciation."
In return, the KU group organized its own celebration Feb. 15.

"It's a tradition that was started back in the '70s," Duy Do, senior in mechanical engineering said. "It's always fun when we go there. We're their friends and they're our friends. We have a good relationship going."
After more than four months preparation and with students, faculty and their KU friends in the audience, VSA performed Tet Program 2003
"This is our main event," Do said. "All our fund-raising goes toward the celebration. This year we received funding from (the Student Governing Association) which really helped."
Practicing originally choreo- graphed dances and making deco- rations encompassed much of the preparation time.
"The dance, Denise (Le) cre- ated it," Nguyen said. "She created it, picked the song and showed it to us. We practiced for more than two months."
Justin Huynh, senior in mechanical engineering, attended the celebration and said the group's hard work showed in their performance.
"They did a really good job," he said. "There was a lot of organization. They focused on more people — not just on Asian — but on people not Asian, like American. The show was for everybody."

Bowling brings golfers together at initial semester meeting
R and the sound of crashing pins, one might not have expected to find a group of golf course management majors. However, Zucky Bowl bowling alley was exactly where the K- State Student Chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America began the spring semester Feb. 3.
Although members said the club did not usually require an extensive time commitment, they enjoyed the opportunity to socialize and to make connections with others in the major. "I've definitely gotten to know a lot more people who are in my grade level," Christopher Erickson, senior in golf course management, said. "Those people will be future contacts. I try and maintain contact with people who have graduated."
Brian Fleske, junior in golf course management, agreed that meeting people was important.
"I'm in it for the connections," Fleske said. "Later in life, we're going to be working together. I'm going to know these people, so if I need any help from somebody, I'll be able to call them up."
Fleske and other veterans helped younger members out as well.
"Every now and then I'll have some guy who's a freshman or sophomore ask me what class I'm taking or what kind of internships he should be applying for," Fleske said. "I'll give them a little advice."
Younger members said they appreciated the learning experience.
"(Older members help with) knowing where people are in the country with jobs," Ryan Hesseltine, freshman in golf course management, said. "To my knowledge, it takes some experience. You have to start low and work your way up."
Besides the help members provided for each other, GCSAA stood out among other organizations for other reasons — the club consisted entirely of men.
"It's a male-dominated industry," Fleske said. "I think there are just no women interested. We don't do anything that a woman wouldn't fit right in with. We don't go to strip joints or anything."

Event provides opportunity to dress for Halloween, fund research for children with cancer
DRESSED IN HALLOWEEN ATTIRE and surrounded by envelopes and papers, more than 600 students supported St. Jude's Hospital as part of the nationwide Up 'Til Dawn program. Each student wrote 50 letters to friends and family asking for donations to the hospital.
Teams of six or more worked toward raising $750 to attend the Up 'Til Dawn celebration March 28 at the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex.
In addition to students attending the event, some of St. Jude's patients and their families also participated. The families had the opportunity to share their experiences in fighting severe ill- nesses.
"There was a guest speaker whose 5 -year- old son, Kyler, had retinal cancer," Leeann Armstrong, freshman in apparel marketing and design, said. "Kyler's mom spoke to us about how much St. Jude's helped in their fight against the cancer. It was touching to hear her story, and I think it helped get everyone in the mood to help out."
The community service proj- ect gave the entire campus a way to unite by volunteering, said Sol Pettit-Scott, senior in chemical engineering and executive board member.
"This is an amazing event," he said. "It's bigger than the greeks, bigger than K- State, bigger than the residence halls, even bigger than the Manhattan community."
This project fulfilled one of the goals for the greek system, said Sarah McCaffrey, Panhellenic Council president and senior in mass communications.
"One of the cornerstones of the greek system at K- State is our emphasis on philanthropy and community service," McCaffrey said. "Up 'Til Dawn gives fraternity and sorority members, as well as the rest of the K- State community, an opportunity to come together and raise money to support children who desperately need help."

Sleepout gives Silver Key members the chance to experience, help homelessness
UNDER THE MANHATTAN starlight, members of the Silver Key Sophomore Honorary brought sleeping bags and pillows to the K- State Student Union Plaza Sept. 20.
To raise awareness of homelessness in Manhattan, approximately 20 members spent the night outdoors.
Silver Key raised nearly $1,600 in the event, which went to Manhattan Emergency Shelter. The money bought necessities and funded programs the shelter provided for Manhattan homeless.
"It was well worth our time as a group," said April Eisenhauer, sophomore in architectural engineering. "I'm excited to see what next year's group can do."
Silver Key began the fund raiser in 1995. The members were required to get donations. Last year the sleep out was canceled due to the Sept. 11 events, but the group still raised $1,850 through donations.
This year the event was made more personal when the group took a field trip before the sleep out.
"We actually toured the shelter on the day of the sleep out," Eisenhauer said. "It made me realize how blessed I am."
The sleep out also offered the group a chance to get to know each other better. Often, members only saw each other at their biweekly meetings.
"We did some group building, some cooperation and some getting to know you," Eisenhauer said. "I just wanted to learn more about the other members of the group."
Cassie Ernzen, sophomore in family studies and human services, said that the activities were fun and agreed with Eisenhauer that the sleep out allowed the group to bond.
After it started to rain, the group moved its equipment under the Union's north overhang.
"We ended up staying until about 5 or 5:30 a.m.," Ernzen said. "It started pouring rain about 2:30 a.m."
Even though it rained, Ernzen said she had fun.
"I had a great time with the rest of the members of Silver Key," Ernzen said. "I really didn't know what to expect at the beginning."

After Hours provides students with alternative end-of-week activities
K- STATE AFTER HOURS provided a different setting for those who wanted to go out on Friday nights but did not want to be part of the Aggieville scene.
"We view it as alternative programming," said Samantha Musil, graduate in public administration and After Hours coordinator. "It gives students an alternative to going out to the bars but also gives them something to do on Friday night."
Musil said K- State was not the only college with a Friday program.
"The Friday programming had become popular at universities across the country," she said. "All the major universities do some sort of programming."
Free food and a movie were regular activities while pumpkin decorating, caricature drawings, sumo wrestling and other events were featured throughout the year.
"I came to watch the movie," Craig Miller, freshman in business administration, said Oct. 18. "It gives you something else to do instead of going to parties."
Tim Garrett, sophomore in information systems, said because of After Hours' evening activities, caffeinated drinks were critical.

"The coffee is good," Garrett said. "Anytime you do anything after 10 p.m., you need coffee."
Garrett said music ranked as his favorite part of After Hours.
"I liked the live bands the first week I came," he said. "Live music is always good."
Each week, 200 to 300 people attended, Musil said. More popular activities attracted larger numbers.
T-shirt tie -dying at the pep rally was a popular activity. "For the pep rally, there were over 500 (people). We were out of T-shirts at 10 p.m.," Musil said.
Musil said the goal of After Hours was to conduct quality programming that would benefit a majority of students. She said even with a small budget, After Hours kept the cost of admission free, provided good entertainment and quality programs.
"That's one of the philosophies behind it," Musil said. "Give students something they can do without paying for it."
Elizabeth Cronn, freshman in kinesiology, said she was a fan of the price.
"My favorite thing is that it's free and fun," Cronn said. "I have no money to go out and do stuff."
After Hours began in fall 2001 as First Friday, but in fall 2002 had expanded from once a month to every Friday. Musil said the change helped people remember when it was and accommodated increased popularity.
"It went over good," she said. "They had good attendance
records and thought it would be better to have it every Friday
rather than just the First Friday."
DURING THE PEP - RALLY, Allen Hisken, senior in music education, plays the sousaphone. "There was over 500 (people)," said Samantha Musil, graduate in public administration and After Hours coordina- tor. "Usually we have anywhere from 200 to 300." — Photo by Matt Stamey

Bakery Science Club creates cookies, bread every week to raise money, gain hands-on experience
THE SWEET AROMA of cookies engulfed the baking lab of Shellenberger Hall. Cookie recipes were mixed and loaves of bread formed in their pans. Ingredient after ingredi- ent was tossed into the 80 -quart mixing bowls.
Tuesdays, Bakery Science Club members fired up their ovens for the weekly Wednesday bake sale.
From bakery science management to engineering, any- one was welcome to be a part of the club.
"It's just crazy to get the job done," Kelly Grant, sopho- more in bakery science management, said. "The ones who went every week, we got really close."
Preparations were finished Wednesdays before the sale.
"We mixed the breads on Tuesday and baked them on
Wednesday; that way, they were baked fresh," Grant said. "People told us they could smell the bread all the way from the street."
Some weeks the club sold out of cookies and other weeks they sold out of bread. It was a gamble to guess which would sell the most, Grant said.
Whether customers craved breads, cookies or the fea- tured item of the week, the club provided the cure.
"Once in a while I would take my time leaving my lab on Wednesdays so I could stop by and buy a sugar cookie or two," Katherine Spiess, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said. "I could never walk by and not be drawn in by the smell of fresh cookies."

brown bag luncheon lounge
Adult Student Services offers non-traditional students place to eat, study, socialize
DESIGNED with non-traditional students in mind, Adult Student Services offered Brown Bag Lunches twice each week to provide a time and place students could interact.
The program started in 1986 with speakers who discussed topics ranging from financial aid to family counseling to stress management.
Nancy Bolsen, director of Adult Student Services, said the original idea was student driven and the Association of Adults Returning to School was responsible for the format and agenda.
When the last non-traditional student organization disbanded in 1995, Adult Student Services took over the responsibility for making room arrangements with the K- State Student Union Reservation Office.
"Through the years, I think the opportunity to have a designated space to call their own has allowed them to meet new friends," Bolsen said. "It has provided information through resources and referrals, giving students a place to come and share experiences, a quiet space to regroup, a place to network with other adult students, a comfort zone and it makes a statement to feel
acknowledged, valued and respected."
Douglas Gibson, student in open-option, said socializing, relating to other adults and participating in group therapy were benefits of the lunches. Gibson attended the lunches for three years, and said he rarely missed them.
"There are only two things that would keep me from missing the lunches," he said. "Those would be if I were contained in a rubber room or if I were in prison."
The lunches were offered each Tuesday and Wednesday during the semester, including finals week. Throughout the first weeks of each semester, information about services offered through Adult Student Services was presented.
If a student was a parent, married, 25 years old or was starting or returning to higher education after a three-year absence, Adult Student Services offered a one -stop shop, Bolsen said.
"Adult students, both undergraduate and graduate, make up about 21 percent of the entire student body," Bolsen said. "This provides an excellent opportunity for those students to interact with one another."
HIS LUNCH in front of him, Douglas Gibson, student in open-option, eats lunch during the Brown Bag Lunch Oct. 5, which was spon- sored by Adult Student Services. The program offered non-traditional students a chance to socialize with one another. "We like to talk about what we want to be when we grow up," Gibson said. — Photo by Lindsey Bauman

The race was the second annual CrossLogic Cyclocross Challenge in English Landing Park in Parkville, Mo. "To recruit members for the team this year, we made stickers that looked like address labels with the meeting times on them and stuck them on people's bikes on campus," Hammack said. "We got quite a bit of response from doing this." — Photo by Kelly Glasscock

Intense, weekly practices prepare cyclers for local, national competitions
CYCLING CLUB competitions differed depending on the season. Other than mountain and road races, the cyclers participated in cyclocross races that required more than just riding bikes.
"In the cyclocross race, once we reach a barrier, we have to get off the bikes and carry them over the barrier," said Scott Hammack, vice president and graduate student in mechanical engineering. "After we're over the barriers, we continue down the trail until we reach another barrier, and the whole process starts over again."
Aside from the different types of races members participated in, the opponents also varied. Public races were open for anyone, including professionals. Collegiate races offered a closer contest since skills and ages were similar and because fewer racers competed, Hammack said.
Because of the unpredictable competition in the public races, Hammack said the team wasn't able to accurately gauge their skill.
"We did training rides three times a week," Mark Smelser, freshman in mechanical engineering, said. "Once a week we would do an intense short ride. Another time we would do a medium-level, medium-length ride. And the other would last for about four hours, but it wouldn't be as intense."

To mentally prepare for the races, team members took practice seriously.
Smelser said his first major race Sept. 28 in Nebraska made him nervous because he wasn't sure about the trail and the competitions. Despite his anxiety, he won.
"I did a whole lot better than I thought I did," Smelser said. "The hills weren't what I was used to, but I did my best and I won."
In addition to competing against local teams, such as the University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska, the club also competed in Burlington, Vt. at the national level in October.
"As a team we finished 55th out of 130, which wasn't bad," Hammack said. "We learned a lot about the race by competing in it. Hopefully we can use this knowledge in order to prepare to compete at the national level again."
BRAD PATTON, senior in sociology, leads two of his opponents in the Cyclo- cross race Nov. 10. "I prefer racing in collegiate races over public ones," Patton said. "They are more laid back, and because we're all of similar age, it's more of a party atmosphere." — Photo by Matt Potchad

Club provides outlet, social atmosphere for students, Manhattan chess enthusiasts
KNOCKS MINGLED with loud chatter in K- State Student Union 206. James Wymore, sophomore in pre -medicine, stared at the game board. He was in deep concentration, but not so much as to miss the banter of his friends.
"I like the all-around activity of what you do in Chess Club," Wymore said. "You keep it moving, keep it fun, keep it loud. We tend to get a little loud and verbally abusive."
The only serious thing about the club was fun, he said.
"We're always throwing remarks at each other," said Jason Stangle, president and junior in animal sciences and industry. "If it was serious all the time, I'd probably drop it. We're normal people. We're not like Bobby Fischer. We don't think and live chess - we have real lives."
Reasons behind joining the club varied from avoiding homework to enjoying a social outlet.
"I like the competition and getting to know people, just outside of the actual game," Craig Wilson, sophomore in information systems, said. "It can allow you to meet different students. It's also good for the mind. It's a lot of strategy and thinking, which is always a good thing."
Wymore said he liked the mental challenge.
"Playing chess makes my brain function in ways that school doesn't," he said. "It makes the brain work every now and then and causes me to focus on control and general attacking strategies."

practice makes perfect
Club provides opportunity to speak in public, overcome nervousness associated with speech
ACCORDING TO A SURVEY reported in the Book of Lists, a fear of public speaking was ranked No. 1 while the fear of death was ranked No. 2.
"People are intimidated by speaking in front of others because they are afraid of rejection," Mark Pultz, freshman in business administration, said. "Nobody wants to look like they don't know what they are talking about."
Twenty members of Powercat Masters Toastmasters met every Tuesday in Durland Hall for an hour to augment their public speaking skills.
"Toastmasters consists of everyone getting a chance to speak through different roles," said Audra Dudte, senior in architectural engineering. "These roles include speaking, evaluating, answering impromptu questions or telling a joke."
At each meeting, members were given the opportunity to conduct meetings, present one-to two-minute speeches over an assigned topic or evaluate the given speeches by pointing out strengths and weaknesses.
"I went from being a person who could barely finish a sentence without saying 'uh' at least twice and now I can speak for 10 minutes without any verbal faux pas," said William Schwartz, junior in construction science and management. "I actually enjoy the opportunity to speak to a group of people, no matter who they are."

MAPJ and Green Party demonstrate against military action toward Iraq
AFTER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH spoke to the U.N. General Assembly, Sept. 12, warning the threat of Iraqi weapons, Campus Greens and the Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice members began demonstrating on the corner of 17th and Anderson with signs reading "WAGE PEACE" and "NO WAR IN IRAQ."
"In the media, we're kind of herded to go to war without understanding the reasons," Greens adviser Jon Tveite said. "There are a lot of people in the country who don't think war is best for our country."
Campus Greens, a group comprised mainly of students in the Green Party, was committed to environmentalism, non-violence and social justice, according to its Web site, www.greenparty.us.org.
"The Green Party is against war," said Willie Wake, club president and freshman in political science. "A lot of us are pacifists — we want peace. (Demonstrating) gives us an outlet to demonstrate our frustrations."
Oct. 10 and 11, U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, respectively, approved a resolution granting Bush authority to wage war against Iraq. The legislative bodies asked Bush to seek support from the U.N. Security Council and work to build an international coalition before invading.
Nov. 8, the United Nations approved a mandate to send inspectors to Iraq to search for and remove weapons of mass destruction.
"It feels good, like what we did was vindicated," Wake said. "A lot of Americans protested. I just hope the U.S. gives the U.N. a chance to work how it's supposed to."
Tveite said one reason they demonstrated was to question the way Bush and the government moved into the situation.
"They have a program," he said. "If you look at the polls, many people have deeply mixed feeling about this. I think some people support the president because he is the president. But if you asked them if they thought they were in danger from Iraq, they wouldn't agree."
Campus Greens was not anti-military or angry at the national government like some protesters, Tveite said.
"We're good Americans," he said, "but just don't like the form our foreign policy is headed in."
Although the War Resolution passed Nov. 8 and U.N. inspections started Nov. 27, demonstrations continued every Monday and Tuesday.
"We're exercising our freedoms," Wake said. "Very few citizens go out and exercise freedoms they're entitled to besides voting. The harder we exercise our freedoms, the harder it will be to try and take them away in the future."

competition against more skilled players proves positive for teams improvement
JUNCTION CITY'S POPULATION increased by 12 K- State students for three hours Thursday nights when roller hockey went to practice.
"It's the only place within 100 miles that will have us," Coach Jerry Remsbecker said. "We pay $7 a head for three hours of practice, but the deal is that it has to be open to the general public, too."
Inside Skate City, the team practiced on a roller-skating rink against other players from Fort Riley and Junction City.
"It hurts us a lot," Johnna Layer, freshman in business administration, said. "We don't play up to anyone else's level, so here a lot of the guys will slack off and nobody plays up to their potential. The rink is bigger at the games and here it's small. We don't have the right boards, so many fac- tors hurt us because we don't have some things."
Halfway through the season, the team's 3-5-1 record reflected its inexperience.
"The season isn't going as well as we'd like it to go," Terence Takeguchi, senior in management, said. "We lost some key guys last year, but we definitely have some talented freshmen on the team this year. It's taken a lot for this team to come together."
The league's challengers also posted obstacles.
"Competition is much higher than it's ever been," Remsbecker said. "Two years ago when I started, we ran the league. There was not any com- petition. Last year there were three competitive teams and this year there were only three teams left from last year. All the new teams that came in were incredibly good, so every game was a stretch for us."
Despite difficulties at the league level, the team managed to enjoy its Junction City practices and interaction with skaters from Fort Riley.
"We get out there and have a lot of fun," Layer said. "It's just a lot of big guys out there with sticks and the people from Fort Riley put a little bit of a twist to it. A lot of them are good. It gets more players for us, because some nights we only get 12 players from K- State who show up."
"In some ways (practicing with Fort Riley skaters) helps us and some ways it hurts us. If they don't show up we can actually practice and do drills, but it's nice having them there."
SUITING UP, Ben Murphy, senior in social science, gets ready for the roller hockey team's practice in Lawrence at Sport 2 Sport. The team rented the rink for a two-hour practice for a change from their regular practice facility in Junction City. "Practicing at Skate City, helps and it hurts, what I see more than anything else since we are unable to actually have a practice and all we do is scrimmage, we reinforce bad habits," Coach Jerry Remsbecker said. — Photo by Kelly Glasscock

Careful detailed planning helps make Fashion Show a popular event, mini walk-throughs prepare models, event committee members
WALKING DOWN THE RUNWAY to the theme of "American Graffiti," 12 models participated in the second annual Fashion Show at the All -University Open House, April 6.
Planning for the show began December 2001 for coordinators Renee Frazey and Jennifer Rogers, seniors in apparel marketing and design.
"When we all got back in January, planning was from then until the day of the show," Frazey said. "It took four months."
Three committees worked to find models, select clothing, and create the set designs.
Most of the clothing for the show came from Manhattan retail stores, though some of the clothing designs came from the apparel marketing and design program.
"There was an on-call in the (design) program (for students to submit designs)," Frazey said. "Some students actually had their own designs in the show."
Amber Fort, head of the set design committee and junior in apparel marketing and design, helped brainstorm ideas for the look of the show.
"A backdrop was painted to be a brick wall and we had graffiti painted on the wall," Fort said. "We also had trash, old tires and trash cans with fake fire in them."
Creating the set took nearly three weeks for the committee to complete, Fort said.
"It was down to the wire of getting it done, but we got it done," Fort said. "It took two nights to paint the brick and then we took it to a guy to put the graffiti on, which took one week."
Having goals for the show helped keep everything on schedule, but their most important goal was meeting deadlines, Rogers said.
Practices also kept the show on schedule.
"There were two mini walk-throughs to help the models know where to walk," Rogers said. "The morning of the show, we had a full dress walk-through, complete with music, clothing and staging."
The event was popular at the open house and the crowd proved it, Frazey said.
"We had two shows lasting 20 minutes each," Frazey said. "They were both full to capacity."

Students contribute to museum events, fund-raising activities
FOR ONE EVENING, 1950s decorations and memora- bilia and the Student Friends of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, brought Dorothy, Toto and 30 shoes back from the Golden Age to the Manhattan Country Club on Nov. 8.
The Student Friends helped the Friends of the Beach Mu- seum of Art acquire funds to defray the expense of publish- ing a hardcover book featuring 50 items from the museum's permanent collection.
To raise funds, the Friends and Student Friends orga- nized a silent auction of 30 shoes designed by local celeb- rities and artists. The theme of the evening, "Beyond Oz . . . Dorothy Goes Fab '50s," was incorporated through the decorations and music.
"We serve as the 'go -to' girls," Meredith Moore, sopho- more in fine arts, said. "We'll help set up and be there if they need anything. As payment, we get to attend for free and rub elbows with the fancy folks."
Student Friends sold raffle tickets, assisted with the silent auction and set up and took down decorations.
"They are always so willing to help," Deloris Bertland, fund-raising chairperson, said. "We really couldn't do it without them."
Marie Konarik, junior in geology, said students from all majors were welcome to join the group.
"Art is not the main emphasis of the group," she said. "Just because you're not an artist doesn't mean this can't be interesting or fun."

Students continue concrete canoe tradition, have home advantage for competition
WITH REMNANTS of cement canoes of yesteryear stacked along the wall, the 2003 K- State Concrete Canoe Team calculated to ensure the continuation of a strong tradition.
The Concrete Canoe was an experience for the students who constructed it piece by piece, said Tricia Petr and Kelly Cool, co -chairs and juniors in civil engineering.
Petr and Cool said organizing the project and raising funds were the toughest parts.
"The construction part is fairly easy," Petr said. "It is just getting stuff done on time that is kind of tricky."
The boat was not held together with typical concrete consisting of large rocks and heavy sand. Glass beads and other alternative materials, were used to make the canoe light enough to float even when filled with water.
Competing schools offered the project as a class within their curriculum, but K- State did not offer the same option.
"It is all on our own time and money," Cameron McGown, senior in civil engineering, said. "We do fund raising and we have corporate sponsors along with a few local contractors."
With annual costs of $ 10,000, McGown said sponsorships were as vital to the continuation of the program, as all of the student hours dedicated to the construction of the canoe.
"We have to do a paper outlining the process and everything," McGown said. "If we totaled up all of our hours and what we would get paid if this were an actual job, it would be somewhere around $80,000."
The team of around 30 civil engineering students constructed the canoe to participate in a regional competition which tests the agility, longevity and speed of the canoe.
The regional competition at Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir, April 24-26, gave K- State a home advantage.
"Since I have been at K- State, the University of Nebraska has not had a boat that has finished a race," McGown said.

Going the
Extra Mile
by Lindsey Jones
Club yields every effort to help enhance community, build personal relationships
A BLACK TRASH BAG filled with unrecog- nizable bits of rubbish sat in the grass alongside Kansas Highway 18.
"Eww, what's that?" Brandon Damas, fresh- man in architectural engineering, said, point- ing at the lump of trash. "It looks like a dead body."
On Nov. 10, members of the Pre -Veterinary Medicine Club gathered at the entrance to the Manhattan Regional Airport for a community service project cleaning up the highway.
"We try to do it once a semester," said Jen- nifer M. Ramsey, vice president and senior in microbiology, "depending on the weather."
The club members spent approximately 90 minutes picking up litter along a two -mile stretch of highway.
In addition to highway litter control, the club participated in several philanthropic events.
"We help out at the animal shelter, too," Lar- issa Lill, president and junior in life sciences, said. "We'll normally bathe and groom the animals to get them ready for adoption."
Lill said they also helped a local wildlife refuge and wanted to expand their services.
"This year we're going to try to do a bake sale,
but with animal treats," Lill said. "We're always trying to come up with new things to do."
Though community service was a huge part of the club's substance, members made time for fund-raising, Charissa Wood, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, said.
"We have fund-raising activities where we work the football games, clean Bramlage or sell T-shirts at the National Pre -Veterinary Medi- cine Symposium," Wood said. "All the fund raising goes toward sending our members to the NPVMS."
Study time and friendships were important to club members, Wood said.
"We do things as a club so that people can get to know each other," she said. "We have review sessions where people in the club can review for a test and study. We're a support group for each other. You make friends through the club."
Lill said projects like the highway clean-up were an important part of the club.
"Working within the community, helping the environment and all of those things fit in with animals and led back to veterinary medicine," Lill said. "It's just a way to help the community and keep it clean."

Engineering honor society members tackle annual project, freshen K- Hill with new coat of paint
ATOP K-HILL, with an approximately 70 -degree drop below, 30 Tau Beta Pi members received one piece of advice from the club's vice president.
"No one gets on the letters," Benjamin Sommers, senior in mechanical engineering, said pointing down the hill. "If you do, you'll be down there and it'll be really, really bad."
For the past 30 years, Tau Beta Pi members cleaned up and painted K-Hill on the southeast end of Manhattan.
"As an engineering honor society we're in a position where we want to do some community service," Sommers
STEPHEN MCCLURG, junior in architectural engineer- ing, dumps whitewash on the letters. The group mixed 2,000 pounds of cement and lime with 700 gallons of water. — Photo by Drew Rose
said. "We are somewhat of a service -oriented honor society and we're just trying to promote community service. It's something relatively simple, it's nothing big necessarily, it just makes KS hill look better and that makes Manhattan look better."
The four-hour process began with members picking up trash to put in large black bags that were later picked up by the county. Then a human chain passed buckets of whitewash to coat the letters.
Some surprising items were found along the way including an engine, table and a couch.
"It's quite a bit of work," Matthew McGuire, junior in chemical engineering, said. "There is a lot of trash out here and there's all kinds of stuff. It's more work than I expected, I just took a motor up."
The K on K-Hill was constructed in 1921 by the College of Engineering. The S was added nine years later.
The day provided a chance for new and veteran club members to bond and work together, said Clinton Williams, president and senior in computer engineering.
"You watch some people bond and get to know each other the rest of their time here," he said. "It's kind of a unique society because it's not from one discipline, it's the entire College of Engineering that's allowed in here as long as they're engineers. You meet people that you wouldn't normally meet and it's nice in that aspect."

COMING OFF a 25-28 rebuilding year in 2001, the 2002 j^jjdfcat baseball team accomplished team goals and made its first-ever Big 12 Tournament appearance.
"We did pretty good considering it was our first Big 12 and we tied for 5th," Brad Anzman, freshman outfielder, said. "The Big 12 is America's baseball powerhouse and we had some big wins against some good teams and we sur- prised a lot of people."
The team lost in postseason play to Texas Tech, 5-4, but beat Baylor, 6-2, and Texas Tech, 7-6. The Cats' season ended after their second tournament loss, falling to Nebraska, 8-7.
"We were pretty confident in what we could do," An- zman said. "We knew it was double elimination and we didn't dwell on the first loss. We woke up the next day with a new attitude and decided we needed to get better."
The Wildcats came to camp in fall 2001, with 16 new players and 13 returning members, not really knowing what to expect, Coach Mike Clark said.

HITTING THE DIRT, junior second baseman Brandon Taylor dives for the ball during a game against Western Illinois at Frank Myers Field. The Wildcats won the series 3-1. At the beginning of the season, Taylor was not the only second baseman. He split second base duties with six other players until Coach Mike Clark was able to find the best combina- tion on the field. "Eventu- ally we found the right people," he said. "When we did, we took off. At the end of the season we were one of the better teams in the Midwest and in the Big 12." — Photo by Kelly Glasscock
Unexpected Success
continued from page 228
"Unfortunately we lost some games we shouldn't have," Clark said, "but we had to do that in order to find who was going to fit into what role and who was going to start."
Clark said that rivalry within his ball club helped them stay competitive.
"We had good competition within the team and that was positive," Clark said. "It made everybody on the team become better and we finally found the right combination."
Another feat for the team included their 30 -win season, the first in five years.
"We came to every game like we were going to win," Pat Maloney, junior outfielder, said. "We stepped on the field and we felt like we were even with every team we played."
Individual efforts were recognized with six Academic All-Big 12, five Phillips 66 Big 12 Pitcher or Player of the Week, and six All-Big 12 Conference honors.
Clark said the team's success resulted from players' actions speaking louder than their words.
"Talk is one thing, but going out and doing it is completely different," Clark said. "We went out in the last part of the season and did it. It didn't matter who we were playing, where we were playing, the guys really walked the walk and didn't do too much talking. They let their bats and gloves do the talking."
Clark became the first coach in K- State sports to post 400 wins - ending the season with 420 - adding to team and individual accolades.

LOVE ALL
seniors offer leadership
by Brent Gray
COMPETING IN SINGLES, freshman Maria Rosen- berg returns a forehand to her Baylor opponent, Daria Potapova. Rosen- berg lost the match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. This was her first loss of the season. The team found leaders in seniors Alena Jecminkova and Kathy Chuda. "They gave us a lot of confi- dence," sophomore Andrea Cooper said. "We could trust them to play well. They were great leaders and had a big influence on all of us. They worked hard for us." — Photo by Matt Stamey
INDIVIDUAL SUCCESSES came about in 2002.
Alena Jecminkova and Kathy Chuda saw their careers dressed in purple come to an end.
"Together they have probably won over 200 matches," Coach Steve Bietau said. "They bring a good level of tennis to the program and have developed into good ambassadors for the team."
Jecminkova, 95th in the Intercollegiate Tennis Associa- tion rankings, ended collegiate play with a 6-3, 6-2 loss in the second round of the NCAA singles tournament to No. 24 Alice Pirsu of Pennsylvania.
Jecminkova finished with an 18-13 record and a career mark of 65-48. She was only the second K- Stater to win an NCAA singles tournament match in the program's history.
She was surprised to make it to the tournament, so her good performance also came as a shock, she said.
Jecminkova also garnered another honor when she was named Big 12 Tennis Player of the Year.
Chuda started at K- State as the No. 3 singles player in the program and left in the No. 2 spot, behind Jecminkova.
"That is personally gratifying," Chuda said. "I always wanted to play at a higher number because I was winning at the other spots but the other girls were winning too. I wanted to have a good finish to my career."
Chuda said she does not regret making the trip to Man- hattan from the Czech Republic.
"I have learned so much about other cultures," she said. "I have enjoyed being a member of a team."
Both team members will be missed and the squad will need to find replacements for their captains, Bietau said.
"They are leaders," he said. "It is important for those who have been in the program to set an example for others, and they have done a good job this year. They leave a big hole to fill for next year."
The tennis team concluded the 2002 spring season with a loss in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament to the No. 3 seeded Kansas Jayhawks, 4-1. The sixth seeded Cats' record fell to 12-8 on the season, finishing the year No. 53 in the ITA rankings.
Junior Petra Sedlmajerova was only the second Wildcat ever named to the Verizon Academic All-District At-Large Team.

BEHIND COACH CLIFF ROVELTO'S DESK hung a poster of track great Steve Prefontaine. The black and white poster read, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."
Pre s quote was one of Rovelto's favorites for life and track and field, he said.
"I've just always admired kids who have been willing to put a lot into whatever it is they're doing," Rovelto said. "When people don't take advantage of what's there for them, I don't care if they end up winning, I still don't think that they've won."
Men's track finished their season fifth in the Big 12, after a steady climb, matching last year's finish and bettering 2000's by four places.
Senior Terrence Newman won his second Big 12 title in the 100-meter run.
"It's tough for a guy to go out and do that because there is not much difference between those guys at the top," Rovelto said. "It's a very competitive sprint conference. He not only won, there was no question in anyone's mind that when the race was over he was the best guy."
Sophomore thrower Craig Smith finished 12th in the javelin throw at the Big 12 meet with a team, and season, and best throw of 191-11.
"Craig has made amazing progress this year, adding some 46 feet to last year's personal best," Throwers' Coach Steve Fritz said. "He just seems to continue to get better and better physically each week."
Sophomore distance runner Joseph Lee also made a name for himself.
"Joseph's race at the Nebraska meet was a nice breakthrough performance," Mike Smith, middle distance coach said. "The ease with which he ran was also an indication that he can run faster."
Lee finished second in the 800-meter in the Big 12 Championships.
"It's a very good team and they've made really good progress over the past couple of years," Rovelto said. "We feel like we've got a good team and what they did over the past couple of years is what got us to this point."

SUB-PAR ROUNDS
highs and lows costly in women's season
by Andi Rice
ONE CONSISTENCY defined the spring 2002 women's golf team: constant change.
"We were too inconsistent," Coach Kristi Knight said. "Our bad rounds were really bad. Our good rounds were good, but when we had a bad day it was terrible."
The team started with two appearances that were less than pleasing, Knight said.
"We had two tournaments, and they were both awful in a word," she said. "We were throwing away too many shots. We were not getting it in the hole."
Following a 13th -place finish at the Texas A&M Verizon Tournament in Byran, Texas, the Wildcats captured their first tournament title in six years at the Mountain View Collegiate Tournament in Tucson, Ariz.
"I was very proud of them for winning," Knight said. "It was an enormous accomplishment. We not only won, but we beat the No. 9 team (Arizona State) in the country."
Through the fall and spring, sophomore Christine Boucher posted nine top -10 finishes in 12 tournaments. She also placed second in the Big 12 Tournament, shooting 224, the lowest 54- hole score by a Wildcat in conference championship history. The performance earned her All- Conference Second Team honors.
"I played really well," Boucher said. "I just focused on what I needed to do and my game, and let it happen."
On May 9, the team started as the 18th seed in the NCAA Central Regional Tournament in West Lansing, Mich., and finished 15th to end the season on a positive note. But Knight said improvements needed to be made.
"We have to learn from our bad rounds," Knight said. "We could have been a lot better. We're pretty good, but we can be a hell of a lot better."

IMPROVEMENT.
With one word Coach Tim Norris summed up his team's spring season after a 32 -position jump from No. 106 to 74 in the Sagarin rankings and a 7th-place finish in the Big 12 Tournament.
"We made a pretty big jump," Norris said, "but it's kind of like a diet. The first couple of pounds come off pretty quick but after that you really have to work at it. We played pretty well at the tournament. It was an improvement from last year when we were 8th place. It was a good end to the year."
Junior Aaron Watkins and sophomore A.J. Elgert led the Wildcats through the season. Watkins ended his year with a three-day score of 212, placing sixth in the Big 12 Tournament, the highest ranking in K- State history.
He was also the only Wildcat to qualify for the NCAA Central Regional Tournament. Elgert played in all seven tournaments for the Wildcats and placed in the top 20 five times.
"We pushed each other," Elgert said. "We're good friends, but nobody wants to lose. We help each other out, but we always have our competitive nature."
The Wildcats ended the spring season with six top- 10 finishes.
Norris said in his six years as coach, this year's was the toughest schedule as far as quality and strength for the Wildcats.
"Our tournament schedule was tougher because we had more tournaments and it was something we weren't used to," Watkins said. "The traveling was wearing us out, but we had a positive team and no one was ever negative. There was always someone there to pick you up and get you going again."

Former legends return as 6 former Wildcat standouts
HONORED
AS THE LIGHTS REFLECTED off the field and the scoreboard displayed the 48-3 outcome of the game against Western Kentucky, fans hurried from KSU Stadium.
But for 31 -year- old Jaime Mendez the evening ended too soon.
Mendez stood in the stands, looked onto the field, then turned his gaze to one of the names that would be on the east wall of the stadium as long as the arena stood.
It was his name.
Mendez, a 1994 K- State graduate and former safety for the Wildcats during the 1990-93 seasons, said he couldn't express his feelings as he peered at his name.
"It just feels like they've got the wrong guy," Mendez said. "I can't describe or explain the feeling of seeing my name up there, I just wish that everyone could feel like I feel now. It is amazing."
The night before the game Mendez and five other former K- State players - Veryl Switzer, Lynn Dickey, Steve Grogan, Gary Spani and Sean Snyder - were inducted into the Football Ring of Honor for distinctions on and off the field and accomplishments during their time at K- State.
During the ceremony others involved in building the football program, including former Athletic Directors Dick Towers and Ernie Barrett and former Coach Vince Gibson, introduced each player. K- State President Jon Wefald and Vice President Bob Krause also presented awards.
"This is just another part of the story," Krause said. "The ring of honor is another chapter in the story, and I think it signals determination that we have a tradition, and we are in
for their on, off field successes

a position to finally honor those who have helped make this tradition possible."
As the players were introduced, highlights and achievements of their careers were shown in a video clip.
Each inductee mentioned what the football team had done for them and told of the family it had created for them to return to.
"Whether you played in the '50s, '70s, or '90s it doesn't matter," Dickey said. "We're all a family. When I come back here and see the purple people, or wherever I see them- all over the state, all over the country- it's a close-knit group. I'm proud to be a purple person and I always will be."
Head coach Bill Snyder ended the ceremony telling the inductees he was proud to have them as a part of his family.
"Millions and millions and millions of people are going to have the opportunity to walk into that stadium, care about Kansas State and look up and say 'you know those guys are a big part of our family,'" Snyder said. "It's special for them, and rightfully so. What a neat thing to have your name there in perpetuity, I mean, it is there forever."
Before leaving the stadium, Mendez walked onto the field paused for a moment and took one last look at his name.
"The last things I thought about before leaving the stadium were all the old memories," Mendez said. "I thought about everything- the bowl victory, me becoming an All- American, thinking about me almost going to Ohio State to begin with. If I would have made one decision different it wouldn't have brought me here and I wouldn't have had my name up there on that wall."

Ordinary Day
Rigorous schedule typical for re
u bni!
IF ASKED AT 6 A.M. if he was living his dream life, freshman Brandon Archer would say, "Hell no."
In his first year of Division I football, he had to do everything the starters did, but he would not receive any recognition on game days due to his classification as a red shirt.
After three-and-one-half hours of sleep the night before, Archer stood in the weight room at the Vanier Football Complex for his daily weight lifting routine.
"I picture myself kind of like a machine," Archer said. "I'm programmed to do all of this stuff, and I just do it. It's hard with limiting sleep. I have to manage my time to have energy."
Following weights, Archer returned to Haymaker 538 to finish folding his laundry and take a quick shower before heading to his first class.
"I didn't have any other time today that I could do my laundry," Archer said. "So, I had to wash it last night at 2:30 in the morning."
In freshman seminar class at 8:30 a.m., Archer's eyes drooped with exhaustion, along with several of his teammates who were in the class.
As the guest speaker encouraged the class to participate in a discussion, the men made football analogies so they could bring a football mind set to the subject. When the class was over, Archer slowly packed up his bag and walked back to his room.
"During the day," Archer said, "every break I have I usually try to get back to the room and get some sleep or something to eat."
As 10:30 a.m. rolled around, Archer began another segment of classes that lasted until 1:30 p.m., and then he went back to Vanier.
"It's a love-hate relationship," Archer said. "You can talk about how much you don't want to do things, but you just love being on the field. Saturday game days are a real reassurance of why you're doing everything. You get the

reassurance of 'this is what I'm here for.'"
At Vanier, Archer sat through a linebacker meeting, watching film and discussing the day's and week's goals. Bret Bielema, co- defensive coordinator and linebackers' coach, said he was pleased with Archer's progress.
"Brandon is a very focused young man," Bielema said. "He'll know what he needs to do, how it needs to be done, and he'll know the right way about going about it. He is in a situation where he immerses himself into the task at hand. Whatever he does, he throws himself into it full willing. He knows how to get by and do things the right way." Practice lasted from 4 until 6:30 p.m. "We try not to get discouraged," said freshman Sean Lowe, Archer's roommate and teammate. "We practice just as hard as everyone else, but we just don't get to play on game days."
After practice, Archer found a ride to the Derby Dining Center where he ate in the training line for athletes.
Then it was study time. "I'm required to put in six hours each week at the complex," Archer said. "Outside of that, I study some at Hale and in my room."
By 10 p.m., his day started to wind down and he talked to family and friends in Minnesota for what he hoped would be a little bit, although it usually ended up being a long time, he said.
His day ended unusually early at 1 1 p.m. He prepared for bed and checked his alarm to make sure it was set for 5:30 a.m.
The machine would be reprogrammed the next day to start its routine again.
"It's another phase in my life," Archer said. "I just know this is what I need to do. You can complain and argue and fuss about all of it, but there is no reason to. I'm happy."
TALKING ON THE PHONE, freshman Brandon Archer talks about his schedule for the day with one of his coaches at Vanier. "He is always on the phone," freshman Sean Lowe, Archer's roommate, said. — Photo by Kelly Glasscock

"It put young people in a position that at no time, since I've been here, they have been in," Snyder said. "At no time have they ever had success and met with what some might call failure — I wouldn't, but some might — and then repositioned themselves with courage and determination and come back to gain the same status they had experienced before."
Going into the season, senior Marc Dunn and junior Ell Roberson competed for the quarterback position. Snyder did not announce the starter until four days before the season opener against Western Kentucky — Dunn would get the assignment. Dunn started the first four non- conference games, but continued to split duties with Roberson.
"People are going to say that you need to have
a quarterback to lead this team, and that's true
in certain circumstances," offensive coordinator
Ron Hudson said. "But if we're going well and
winning games — if it ain't broke don't fix it. You
have to go with what got you there. Now, that may
or may not be the case nine games from now, but
for now we are going to keep going like this."

Roberson had 202 carries on the season, 1,032 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. "The thing that helped this football team become continu- ously better, solve some of the concerns that we had earlier in the season, was the development of our defensive secondary and the development of Ell Roberson at quarterback, and as those two things progressed, as they fell into place, so did the balance of ourfootball team," Coach Bill Snyder said. — Photo by Matt Stamey

"We knew we had to take Seneca (Wallace) out of the game," Pierce said. "We knew the only way to win this game was to take him out of the game and continue to get him off his rhythm.

to Oklahoma and then came back and that is when we started to move in the wrong direction. We understood why that happened and we weren't going to go in the same direction as the previous team."
Following the Colorado game, Roberson continued starting and the team bounced back with a 44-9 win against Oklahoma State but received another devastating blow with a three-point loss to Texas at home after a missed field goal attempt with 7 seconds on the clock.
"There 're a lot of different things that people can point their finger at," senior cornerback Terence Newman said. "(Jared Brite, kicker,) is just the one because in the waning seconds of the game he was out there to tie the game up. I think people overlook that. A lot of different people made a lot of different mistakes. We just want to finish out the season with five wins."
The team reached the goal with record- breaking games.
The Wildcats traveled to Lawrence for the 100th Sunflower Showdown and scored the highest blowout in the history of the series, 64-0.
"I didn't think it would be this easy," Roberson said. "But if you have an offense that's clicking and a defense that can shut them out, it can happen."
Returning home, the Cats rolled over then No. 21 Iowa State, 58-7, and handed Nebraska a 49-13 loss.
"I've been around here too long and I know what kind of football program they (Cornhuskers) have," Snyder said. "Because of that, it does make it a little extra nice to win that ballgame. I'm not calloused to that at all. I do want our players and all to understand that we have been there before and done that before, but that doesn't take away the fact that it is a nice win — a very nice win."
To finish the season, the Wildcats went on the road to Missouri and ended with a 38-0 win, their third shutout of the season.
At the close of the regular season, K- State was ranked 6th in the nation. Though they were only seven points from an undefeated season, things happened for a reason Snyder said.

"Darren played well and of course his game was all in the first half," Coach Bill Snyder said. "If you go back and look at the first couple of drives, you see he carried the ball every time. That's what I wanted to establish in everybody's minds that he can be a durable back and he can carry it as many times as you ask him."

"That's like looking back and saying, 'If I'd gotten a medical degree, then I'd be a doctor,'" Snyder said. "There's nothing you can do about it. If you're looking back you're looking the wrong direction."
The Cats accepted an invitation to the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl to play unranked Arizona State in what was one of the toughest games all season, senior defensive tackle Tank Reese said.
The 34-27 victory gave the Cats their 11th win, making K- State the only school in Division I college football to record 11 or more wins five of the past six years.
"It really is a special achievement for these young people, but also for those who have built the foundation, going back as far as 1989, 1990," Snyder said. "It's pretty special for those guys who have participated during those 11 -win seasons, a lot of them not here right now. It is very special to do something for the first time in history. It's worth note and I am proud of the people who had something to do with it."

CLOSE CALL
Cats face prepared Sun Devils
by Sean Purcell and Asicfi Rice
IT HAD BEEN three years since K- State spent Christmas in sunny California and 13 years since the Wildcats faced Arizona State University. The 6th -ranked Wildcats accepted a bid to the 25th Pacific Life Holiday Bowl in San Diego, Dec. 27.
Odds makers gave K- State an 18 -point spread against the unranked Sun Devils. It was the largest spread of all 28 bowl games, evidence that the Wildcats would tally their 1 1th season win in California.
Those familiar with Holiday Bowl history said victory would not be as simple. A margin of less than eight points decided 15 of the 25 contests, including K- State's 36-27 victory over Arizona State.
"Arizona State is a great team — one of the hardest teams we have faced all year," senior defensive tackle Tank Reese said. "We were down, but we stayed focused on the task at hand."
After early scoring by the Sun Devils, the Wildcats trailed at halftime, 14 -20. K- State became the sixth consecutive team to trail at halftime and then win the contest.
"I think we came out and laid an egg in the first half," senior cornerback Terence Newman said. "We got down but we played through it. That's what the No. 6 team in the nation is supposed to do in the second half."
Following a scoreless third quarter, quarterback Ell Roberson sparked the team with a 2 -yard dive into the end zone to tie the game at 20 — a low snap cost the Cats their extra point. Arizona State scored one more time to go up 27-20.
Roberson continued to lead the team with a 1 -yard sneak to tie the game 27-27 followed by a 10 -yard pass to Derrick Evans to capture the win, 34-27.
"Take away the first two quarters, this is the best (bowl at K- State)," Coach Bill Snyder said. "I probably contributed to the slow start. I may have worked these guys too hard and might have expected some things that didn't need to be expected — and certainly didn't have them prepared to do some of the things we needed to do.
"There was another contributing factor and it was the fact that Arizona State is a whale of a football team. Their preparation for us was as good as anybody's at any time on both sides of the ball."
GOING FOR A FIRST DOWN, Ell Roberson leans forward behind sopho- more right guard Mike Johnson's block for a first down during the fourth quarter of the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, Dec. 27. Roberson was named the offensive MVP of the game. "We got off to a shaking start," Roberson said. "We kept plugging away. I told our guys, our offensive line and running backs and receivers that if we keep plugging away, good things will happen. It happened for us." — Photo by Kelly Glasscock
AFTER A 34-27 VICTORY OVER ARIZONA STATE, senior cornerback Ter- ence Newman directs the band at the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Newman won the Jim Thorpe Award given annually to the nation's top defensive back and was also named first team All-Big 12 selection as both a defensive back and kick returner. "In my mind I know I can get better," Newman said. "When I came into this program, they instilled in me that you can always get better. Through the seasons, this whole program has showed that." — Photo by Kelly Glasscock

IN THE PRACTICE GYM of Ahearn Field House, a black curtain sectioned off a portion of the room containing 15 chairs. For this occasion, three more were raised on a platform with a table. The table had three nameplates: Lisa Martin, middle blocker; Lauren Goehring, middle blocker, and Suzie Fritz, head coach.
Fourteen minutes after the close of the final match in the second round of the NCAA tournament between K- State and Washington State University, the three walked in the room. All were fighting tears.
Forty- five seconds passed while Fritz wiped tears, gained her composure and spoke her first words. Her team's 21-8 — scratch that — now 21-9, season had just ended.
"It's not like we're curing cancer," Fritz said. "But you invest so much time and energy into trying to get as good as you can get. I was frustrated. I was disappointed. I was angry. Those were my initial thoughts, but having a few days to reflect, it gets easier as the days go by."
With the departure of two-time All-American Liz Wegner, fellow all -conference selection Lisa Mimick, and Jayne Christen, the team knew they were going into the season young and inexperienced, but they had no doubts, sophomore Gabby Guerre said.
"The beginning was rocky," she said. "Our path in the season hadn't been quite determined yet. We were still looking for those key elements, and I don't think we found them until conference (play)."
Wildcats posted a 4-4 preseason record, including three straight losses at the USF Adidas Invitational in Tampa, Fla.

"We didn't have enough technique yet to really be a stable team that we became at the end of the season," Guerre said. "A loss is disappointing, but you learn more from a loss than you do a win. At the beginning of the season a loss doesn't really matter, I mean it matters, but it teaches you more."
Opening regular season play, Nebraska defeated the team at Ahearn Field House, and then went on the road to pick up wins at Baylor and Iowa State before returning home to drop a three-straight-game match to Texas.
After the loss to Texas, the Wildcats began a 13-game winning streak.
"The team started coming together at Baylor," Goehring said. "It wasn't consistent, but after the Texas loss we decided that we couldn't screw around anymore and so that was the point it progressively got stronger. We just took one game at a time. We played each opponent as they appeared in our schedule."
K- State ended the 1 3 - game run with another loss to Texas, 1-3. The Cats finished the season with a win over Kansas and a loss to Nebraska. "You start to understand that it's not always going to go your way," Fritz said. "Sometimes you can give your very best effort and it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win. Our last loss of the year is a perfect example of that.
"Late in the year they became an incredibly composed team, it wasn't a team full of seniors, but they started playing like they had been there before and that was kind of a turning point for us."
The team reaped the benefits of their 20-8 season when the NCAA announced that K- State would be one of 16 host sites for the first two rounds of the national tournament.
In round one, the Cats beat non-ranked Michigan in three games, 30-26, 30-25, 35-33 and advanced to round

"One of the best things our coach tells us every year, because we've never made it to the final four, is that only one team goes away from this tournament happy," Guerre said. "It doesn't make you feel better, but it does. What happens, happens. It's something that makes you want to come back

REBEKAH GREEN, junior thrower on the women's track team, kept repeating the word "we" when talking about attending volleyball games in Ahearn Field House.
An athlete herself, Green knew the hard work it took to compete at the Division I level in any sport.
"They're not necessarily teammates, but they are fellow athletes," Green said. "The volleyball girls, we see them day in and day out. They're working hard and need our support, too."
If fellow athletes did not fill the seats in Ahearn, then odds were no one else would, said Jose Carvajal, senior hurdler and sprinter on the men's track team.
"We interact with the girls ev- ery day at Ahearn and in the train- ing room," he said. "If it doesn't start with us, their athlete friends, then who is going to attend?"
Even with all the practice hours spent in Ahearn, Carvajal said fin- ishing practice and going to games was not a hassle, especially for cer- tain members of the team.

Mortimer ends historic career with 4th All-America
RELIABLE RUN
SOMETIME BETWEEN lacing up their spikes and start- ing the meet, members of the women's cross country team shared advice with each other.
The veteran and rookie runners on the 2002 squad knew the task they had to do.
"Something we always said before our meets was 'suck it up,' just to remind us that we're gonna hurt but it's not unique to anyone else," sophomore Trisha Culbertson said. "We'll be good in the end. The pain will be behind you and then you'll just have the memories. The pain is temporary."
After a seventh-place finish at the Big 12 Championship and the same result at the Midwest regional meet, the team had a lone representative at the 2002 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Senior Amy Mortimer carried the weight of the 2002 season and the pressure to earn a fourth All-America honor, as she made her way to Terre Haute, Ind.
As 254 of the nation's elite runners approached the start- ing line at the Wabash Family Sports Center at Indiana State University, Mortimer said she was nervous.
"It's kind of scary lining up on the line with all these girls in really good shape," Mortimer said. "You realize this is the end of the season."
In one of the fastest fields in the history of the meet, Mortimer's run of 20:37.4 on the 6,000-meter course gave her a 43rd-place finish and the All-America.
Mortimer was the first 4-time All-American in K- State cross country history.
"Amy has proven that she is a very talented runner and a great competitor," head coach Randy Cole said. "Her athletic
returning runners mesh, grow as a team
by Nabil Shaheen
and academic honors over the last four years are outstanding and speak volumes about her dedication and hard work at Kansas State."
As one of the most talked about runners in K- State his- tory wrapped up her cross country career she said the most memorable part of the season was seeing the team's growth.
"At the beginning of the year, there were so many new girls," Mortimer said of the team, which included her younger sister, Erin. "We had some adjustment periods, but by end of the year we got really close. It was nice to see from first day of practice to end of the season how everyone grew closer and came together as a team — that was the highlight of my season, watching that."
Although the team's inexperi- ence may have been a factor, the young runners were a benefit during practices, Culbertson said.

inexperience proves costly
by Nabil Shaheen
»UAD had no expectations for their season.
The predominantly underclassman team did not know what to expect of racing at the Division I level, or at K- State cross country standards.
"They are a pretty young bunch and had some good times," Coach Randy Cole said. "They gained some experience this season, so we just need to keep working on our training to get better for next year."
Freshman Drew Tonniges was among the top K- State finishers at every meet and was the third-fastest freshman in the Big 12.
"This year I really didn't have anything in mind of what I wanted to do," Tonniges said. "I was just trying to gain experience. I had no expectations. In high school it's (the race) 5,000 meters, in college it's 10,000. So I've never really run that far in a race. I'd come through my halfway faster than what I ever ran in high school and that was just halfway finished."
Finishing 10th at the Big 12 Cross Country Championships and 16th at the Midwest Region Cross Country Championships, the team reflected its inexperience, Tonniges said.
"We really didn't perform as well in the bigger meets and that was an indication of not ever being there, the lack of atmosphere," he said. "Next year, with everyone coming back, we'll step it up in the big meets."
Sharing his racing wisdom, the only returning letter winner, sophomore Mathew Chesang, said he had a lot to do teaching the team and himself.
"(Inexperience) is a clear indication, me included, that there is still plenty of room to gain experience," Chesang said. "Being a returning runner I had to show a good example to the rest by sharing with them the knowledge I had and also the spirit of working hard which pays off at the end."

Novices build foundation for program
THE FALL SCHEDULE for women's crew marked a transition. Execution and injuries were a problem for the varsity, but the novices were the strongest they had been in years, Coach Jenny Hale said.
"We haven't had particularly strong novice crews the past three years," she said. "We've had a coaching staff change — we've focused both the novice coach and the assistant coach on the novice group this fall — so they've gotten a lot of one-on-one and gotten a lot of attention.
"We've standardized the program and our expectations for the group have been realigned so they are in line with the varsity."
With the departure of Kevin Harris and Sandra Chu, who received head coaching positions elsewhere during the summer, the team gained assistant coach, Paula Donald, a Colorado State University graduate, and novice coach, James Rawson, from Gonzaga University
"They are definitely a great group," Rawson said. "I tell them to do the work, and they do exactly what needs to be done. They are really dedicated."
Even with a strong novice crew, the varsity eight had problems. Technically, the crew rowed better than any other year but just didn't execute during the races, Hale said.
"They have not had a particularly strong season," she said. "Execution is where we need to step up and make sure they are able to put out there what they are capable of doing."
Injuries also challenged the team. Only one person in the varsity eight's boat remained unhurt.
"We've had injuries in and out," senior Alyssa Adams said. "That's frustrating because we want the best people in the boat. We want to be able to be fast because we know we can beat a lot of the teams we're up against."
Despite the problems, the team ended the season sweeping KU in the Sunflower Showdown, winning five of five races. It was the first time in the six-year history of the series that either team had a clean sweep.
"We had a great team performance and that's what we need — not an individual boat performance, but a team performance," Hale said. "I think everybody stepped up and did their part. The execution was well done, and I was so happy for the athletes to enjoy the feeling of sweeping this regatta."

Dedicated
ien rowers' commitment pays off
EACH MORNING at 5:30, the men's rowing team made its way to Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir for practice.
Members spent a required 10 hours per week working out as a team in addition to optional workouts.
Though the time put in by the rowing team went unnoticed by most students, the rowers still got up every morning to practice, Pyle said.
"I talk with a lot of people around campus and they don't even know we have a men's rowing team," Pyle said, "but within the rowing community, we are recognized. When we walk around at the regattas, other teams know who we are."
Most of the rowers were involved in other sports in high school and wanted to stay in shape, senior Chris Riffel said.
"It is a great sport to do just because it keeps you in excellent shape," he said. "The sports I did in high school, cross country and swimming, carry over to rowing."
Components of other sports related as well.
"The competitiveness and teamwork you learn in any other sport carries over to rowing without a doubt," Pyle said. "Plus, the conditioning is relatively the same."
The team competed in three regattas during the fall and five in the spring, traveling to Wisconsin, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.
Money for the supplies and travel came from the Student Government Association, donations and personal funds. Because the team was a club sport, it received no money from Intercollegiate Athletics.
K- State alumnus George Breidenthal, former manager of the men's rowing team, made a $500,000 gift to the KSU Foundation to help fund a new boathouse for the K- State rowing program. The donation took a big chunk out of the money needed to complete the $l.l-million boathouse.
"Even though I'm not going to see it done, it makes me excited for the future," Riffel said. "To see someone give that much money makes it easier for me to give back."

TWO YEARS. Two freshmen. Two conference titles.
Freshman Kyle Lancaster made 2003 the second straight year that a Wildcat newcomer won an event at the Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships.
In one of the most competitive events of the day, Lancaster cleared 7-1.75 in the high jump, a career best, to help his team to an 86 -point, third-place finish.
"In the Big 12, for freshmen to win an event is a pretty significant accomplishment," Coach Cliff Rovelto said. "The quality in most events is pretty deep. It is a significant accom- plishment and what it says to me is that these freshmen win- ning are pretty darn good."
The men's team finished its season tied for 45th at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. Junior Joseph Lee was the top finisher for the Cats taking fifth place in the 800-meter run.
"You have to acknowledge our coaching staff," sophomore Richard Warren said. "We have one of the best coaching staffs in the country.
"We have a lot of post- collegiate athletes training here and just working with the athletes on the men's and women's side. They've been in big meets, they can prep us on what to expect and just the dedication of the athletes, men and women, work extremely hard. All those things combined make the track programs here extremely successful."

SENIOR AMY MORITMER knew what it was like coming in second place in the mile -run at the Big 12 meet. She knew what it was like coming in third and fourth, too. On March 1, running a race she described as "ridiculously slow," Mortimer won the mile in her final indoor conference meet.
"Throughout her career, Amy has always performed at a pretty high level," Coach Cliff Rovelto said. "We, as much as others, have kind of taken it for granted, but the significance of what she has done is huge."
At the Big 12, where the women took third with 87 points, the 4x400 relay team of freshmen Ashley Stevens and Shunte Thomas, sophomore Samantha Murillo and senior Nicole Grose was within 1.16 seconds of a new school record.
The K- State women ended the year in 27th place in the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
Mortimer earned All-American status, placing sixth in the 3,000 -meter run. She received the honor 11 times in her career at K- State. Sophomore Chaytan Hill placed 10th in the triple jump and junior Morgan High placed sixth in the high jump, also earning All-American status.
"People are coming to practice everyday and taking care of business and being supportive of each other," Mortimer said. "Everyone tries as hard as they can, it's not like you can find some little extra, everyone already tries to put that extra out there no matter what."

"The team is obviously struggling right now to find itself and to get rooted," Blackman said.

They have to understand that those who came before them and the teams that came before them were very, very good teams and had conditional promi- nence." — Photo by Lindsey Bauman

He ranked second on K-State's all- time scoring list with 1,844 points and played 13 seasons in the NBA. "The only thing that I thought was missing and felt bad about was that my coach, Jack Hartman couldn't be there," Blackman said.

ats celebrate 100 years of men's basketball with all-century team
GREATS RETURN
LIKE ANY PREGAME RITUAL, the men's basketball team warmed up on the court, but the atmosphere was dif- ferent March 1.
On the upper level of Bramlage Coliseum, fans lined up for autographs from the team, but not the one warming up on the court. They wanted autographs from the All- Century team composed of 13 standouts from K- State's basketball history.
"You look up in the crowd and see all those guys who make up Kansas State basketball," senior forward Matt Siebrandt said. "That's the tradition and you see it and it made the arena a lot more special. I wanted to play really well, just to show them we're trying to turn it around and that we're trying to do what they did."
The season marked the 100th year of men's Wildcat basketball.
"A lot of the students don't realize that we used to be a basketball powerhouse here." Siebrandt said. "(The students) want to get it back and we want to get it back and I think that linking (the program) to the past helps you to get there sooner."
The team, voted on by fans, comprised 10 players and three coaches, including Ernie Barrett, Jack Parr, Bob Boozer, Lon Kruger, Chuckie Williams, Mike Evans, Rolando Blackman, Ed Nealy, Steve Henson, and Mitch Richmond. Players had to at least be first-team all -conference selections during their time as a Wildcat to be on the ballot.
Richmond and Henson were unable to attend due to previous engagements.
"Obviously, it was indeed a real honor," Barrett, 1950 - 1952 forward, said. "I happened to be the oldest selection of the
layers from K- State's past honored
by Andi Rice
group, having played over half a century ago. On behalf of the 1950-51 team I was very honored to have someone selected to represent that particular team."
The coaches selected for the team were Jack Gardner ( 147- 81), Tex Winter (262-117) and Jack Hartman (295-169), who died Nov. 6, 1998.
"It's hard on a new coach to try and build a program up and try and get it back where it once was," Winter said. " ( Jim Wooldridge) certainly has done an excellent job in bringing in new players and trying to keep the tradition alive. Of course, the former players appreciate it and consequently they'll be much more supportive of the program."
As a part of the tribute, the current team wore violet jerseys, replicates of the ones worn in the late 1970s.
"We wanted to wear those jer- seys to symbolize that we remember
our past and it's important to us," ALL-CENTURY MEMBERS

GAMES were a trademark for the Wildcats' season — the proof was in the last three seconds of their final game.
With 1.8 seconds on the clock, K- State had a two-point lead over Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 tournament, the ball was inbounded and CU's James White banked a three point shot to end the Wildcats' season, 77-76.
"You can't really blame it on one thing that happened," senior forward Matt Siebrandt said. "A lot of freak things took place. We just didn't learn how to win a close one. It was our fault. It would get down to the final five minutes and we could never pull them out."
But it did not always happen like that.
The Cats started their season 11-5, including a seven - game winning streak going into conference play against No. 23 Texas Tech. K- State beat the Red Raiders 68-44 in front of a sold out crowd at Bramlage Coliseum.
"I was thinking that 'OK, we are getting better,'" Coach Jim Wooldridge said. "We had a lot of things that we were doing pretty well and I think we all felt like we were seeing an improved basketball team. We had some guys returning who had had productive years for us and we liked the new play- ers who were coming in. At times we were a good basketball team and then we hit a stalemate and couldn't score the ball as easily and we lost some close games."
Following the defeat of the Red Raiders, K- State lost two games on the road against Colorado and Kansas. They returned home for a victory over Nebraska.
"When you get wins it's real important to have a certain confidence level," freshman forward Marques Hayden said. "At the same time in the back of our minds we knew that we had a lot more to come. The Big 12 is the toughest conference in the country. We were happy for that day that we won, but the next day we knew that we were going to play against a bigger and tougher opponent."

Following the win over Nebraska, the Cats did not pull it together, adding only two more wins to their record out of 12 games.
"Our schedule during that segment became very difficult," Wooldridge said. "After the Colorado game we won here and after we went to Missouri and played well, I thought we had an opportunity there, I thought our season was on the brink of being good or coming up short.
"The turning point for us was the Baylor game at home that we dropped. We might have lost some confidence and we had some guys struggling to score the ball and we played hard and the guys gave a great effort, but we were just having a hard time scoring. That was the pivotal game of the season for us."
Nine of the Wildcats' last 11 losses were by nine points or less, including a two-point loss to No. 2 Oklahoma in overtime and an eight-point shortfall to No. 11 Oklahoma State.
"It's tough to lose games like that, but it's all about sticking together and staying strong," Hayden said. "If you look at the games we lost, we weren't blown out by a large margin — I just think it's one of those things that we should have won, but we didn't get it done. It doesn't really show up on our record, but I think we know in our hearts and our minds that we played our butts off."
The team finished the season 14-18 overall, 4-13 in conference play.
"They made some strides," Wooldridge said "We are all disappointed that we didn't do better in Big 12 play but I do think that this team continued to be competitive, and I think that's what we had to recognize. I know we all want more but they gave an effort and they gave us something."

6 'A" center of attention
by Andi Rice
the women's basketball team earned through its recruits, one candidate fit perfectly. The only thing was — she wasn't so small.
Three years ago, 6 -foot- 4 -inch junior center Nicole Ohlde came to Manhattan from the modest community of Clay Center, Kan., population approximately 4,500, to play for the then up-and-coming women's basketball team.
Since that move, she has become one of three juniors on the nationally- ranked Wildcat team and has developed into a dominant leader for the Cats as an All-American, leading the team to one of its best records in school history.
"Nicole is a leader by example," Coach Debra Patterson said. "She is the personality of the team, so to speak, off the floor. She is the person, I think, who really exemplifies the very best in what our team brings to the floor. She is about commitment, she is among strong values, she is about work ethic, and she is about fun.
"I could not ask for a better example, on and off the court, than Nicole Ohlde brings, and I don't know that I'll ever have another player and person with that kind of package because they are so special — they're like one in a million."
Outside the game, Ohlde had normal student responsibilities. Her day began around 8 a.m. when she ate breakfast with her closest friends, the rest of the basketball team. After breakfast she went to classes, which ended by 12:20 p.m. so she could go to practice.
"If I have time after class, I'll come back and eat lunch, basically just a sandwich because we have practice right away," Ohlde said. "If we don't have time, we sometimes take a sandwich with us in the morning. Or, like today, I didn't get up in time and I just had to get one at the Union."

"We leave our doors open all the time and we go into each other's rooms and hangout," Ohlde said. "A lot of people borrow each other's clothes, I mean I can't do that with the pants or shoes, but I've borrowed people's shirts before." — Photo by Matt Stamey

TALKING TO THE PRESS, Ohlde answers questions after practice. Due to national attention, the team's interviews were limited to Tuesdays after practice. "I think you start to get used to (the me- dia)," Ohlde said. "I'm not sure that is a good thing though, just because it's something a lot of people don't have the opportu- nity to experience, so it's a big thing." — Photo by Matt Stamey

HIGH TIME
continued from page 278
With the national rankings and publicity the team recieved, interviews for the women were limited to Tuesday afternoons after practice. Ohlde was often the last player to be done with questions from the crowd of reporters.
"It's nice that the media is looking at Kansas State and we are getting some national attention," Ohlde said. "We feel grateful that people are wanting to come talk to us and we are getting on the national scene."
After interviews, the team usually worked in the weight room for an hour, then went back to Derby Dinning Center for dinner at the training table. Afterward they hit the books.
"A lot of people may say that I'm missing out on like going down to Aggieville or going to parties or stuff like that, but that's not something I really want to do anyway," Ohlde said. "I don't think I'm missing out on a whole lot — I mean, I wouldn't be able to travel to the places I travel and I wouldn't be able to have such close friends with the girls like I do."
No matter how repetitive her days were, everyone who knew her said Ohlde was about fun, too.
"We'll just have our own little dance party in the hall," sophomore forward Megan Mahoney said. "She likes to dance a lot. With her big long lanky body she's a riot. It doesn't really matter what we are doing, we have fun together. We could be watching paint dry and make each other laugh."
In the residence halls, Mahoney roomed with Ohlde and said she couldn't ask for a better roommate.
"I've roomed with her for two years," Mahoney said. "I just loved her from the first (time we met). She is such a likable person and we goof around a lot and keep each other in good spirits when the season gets long. She doesn't like to clean so I always have to go and pick up her stuff, and she is kind of the messy one, but it's great."
Away from the game, school and having fun, Ohlde said she was just happy she had the opportunity to do what she loved and didn't take any of it for granted.
"Most of the time (life) is enjoyable," Ohlde said. "There are a few times things are busy, but if you think about all the other things that go on in the world, there's nothing I shouldn't be grateful for."

Undersized team overcomes injuries; finishes season No. 8 in the nation
EXTREME FORCE
posts best conference record ever
by Andi Rice
WITH FOUR RETURNING STARTERS from the 2002 Sweet Sixteen squad, the Wildcats' slogan said it all, "Ready for More."
"We had a lot to prove," sophomore forward Megan Mahoney said, "I mean, we had kind of a surprise season last year and this year teams knew what we had, so we were just ready to get after it and see what we could do in the league."
At the beginning of the season, the Cat's undersized roster of 10 was quickly cut to nine when sophomore Kari Hanson was out for the season due to illness.
"We were really optimistic that we might be able to string together another real competitive stretch through the Big 12 conference," Coach Deb Patterson said. "I was just really impressed with our ability to do that, especially once we learned we lost Kari Hanson for the season.
"That was a major, major concern before we took the floor, and for about a week or two I wasn't exactly sure how successful we might be. But this team really established a level of dominance that I was really pleased with."
K- State began their schedule with seven wins before dropping the championship game of the Stanford (Calif.) Invitational to Stanford University.
"Stanford was a great team; we were on their home court," sophomore guard Laurie Koehn said. "We were disappointed in that loss but I think we learned from it and that's what we want to do with every loss we do have. There was a lot of the season left, Stanford just came out and competed harder than we did that night."
After the loss to the Cardinal, the Wildcats experienced, in the words of Patterson, "a little adversity" when Koehn reaggravated a foot injury from a previous season.

AS TIME WINDS DOWN, junior Amy Dutmer and sophomore Brie Madden watch as the Wildcats lose 59-53 to Notre Dame, March 25. The Wildcats were 7 of 28 from the floor in the second half. "Hopefully, we will be able to use this season to learn and grow from," Coach Deb Patterson said. "I am certainly disappointed for them that we will not have the opportunity to con- tinue to play this season." — Photo by Matt Stamey
Unsweetened Season
AMID A SEA OF PURPLE SHIRTS, when the buzzer sounded at Bramlage Coliseum, only a handful of green-clad fans cheered. On March 25, No. 1 1 seeded Notre Dame ended the No. 3 seeded Wildcats' season with a 59-53 victory. That loss destroyed any hopes the Wildcats had of returning to the Sweet Sixteen round of the NCAA Tournament.
"When you've worked all season to earn a No. 3 seed, that's a good deal of work," Coach Deb Patterson said. "You're at home. You're really, I think, hopeful you will bring your very best to this 40 minutes. I think the most disappointing thing for us is that we will leave the floor after this game knowing we didn't necessarily play to the character we have demonstrated all season long. We didn't play to our character physically or mentally."
The Fighting Irish jumped to a 13-4 lead over the Cats until sophomore guard Laurie Koehn made a three -point basket to tie the game at 23 with 5:45 to go in the first half. K- State ended the half with a 31-28 edge.
"It's kind of hard to recall things right now," Koehn said. "We were trying to get out there and keep competing and trying to plug away when we were having trouble scoring. I'm extremely disappointed. It's devastating and not a good feeling. It's not a way you ever want to feel."
In the second half of the game, Notre Dame's defense did not allow a K- State field goal until a three -point basket from Koehn with 8:57 to go in the game. The Wildcats never regained the lead in the second half.
"A lot of it was not getting to our spots and not doing the things we are capable of," junior center Nicole Ohlde said. "But you have to give a lot of credit to Notre Dame. They came out and were fired up. They were being big. They were being

the Wildcats shot their lowest field goal percentage and totaled their lowest points of the season. They also scored the fewest second-half points in K-State history in an NCAA tournament game.
"The disappointment of how you competed in this final game is very extreme, particularly at home," Patterson said. "The first 20 minutes I'm OK with. The second 20 minutes — those will be tough to let go."
Two days before the loss ending their season, K- State beat Harvard 79-69. The game was the Wildcats' 29th win of the season, a school record, and their 22nd consecutive win in Bramlage Coliseum.
The Wildcats ended their season 29-5.
"We got in the way of ourselves, not being aggressive," sophomore forward Megan Mahoney said. "It's hard to realize that we're done and we don't have anymore games — the season comes to an end quickly."

IN ITS THIRD YEAR as a varsity sport, the equestrian team had already opened eyes and turned heads.
Last season two riders competed at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association's national competition. Western rider Brandi Vogel became K- State's first national champion rider with her win in advanced horsemanship.
Kelly Gratny, 2002 graduate, took home third place in the open-reining competition.
In the fall season, the team looked to build on those accomplishments.
"We have some tradition now," sophomore Allison Woodworth said. "We are looking to build on that and who knows how far that will take us."
One thing that changed for the team was the competition.
For the first two years, the team was in Region two, Zone seven — where stiff competition awaited the Cats. Now in Region two, Zone nine, the team was pitted against smaller schools in Illinois and Missouri.
"We are the largest school in our Zone by far," Coach Lindsay Breidenthal said. "I'm looking for us to do a lot this year. The level of competition is not what we are used to and I know that our primary goal of taking our entire team to nationals should not be a problem."
The English equestrian team highlighted the year in its first show of the season Oct. 25-27 with three straight first- place finishes.
"I am very pleased with our performance this weekend," English Coach Meghan Cunningham said. "It wasn't just two
or three riders but it was the whole team."
Woodworth led the Wildcats as she was crowned High- Point Rider on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday the Cats set a school record for most points scored in a single show, 40.
Cunningham said she was pleased with Woodworth's performance.
"Allison always puts out an outstanding ride," Cunningham said. "Since she's a sophomore, I expect her to be great for us for another two years. She is a very dependable rider."
Finishing the fall season, the Western team closed with a first- place finish in the Truman State University show, with 22 points over Southwest Missouri State.
Vogel earned High -Point Rider honors for the second straight show and third time in the season when she finished first in open reining and open horsemanship. Nine other riders won individually to set a record for the Cats.
"I couldn't have asked for the
women to ride any better than they
did," Breidenthal said. "When the
judges are looking at horsemanship
and skill, we will win out every
time."

Intrastate Showdown
ONE GAME WASN'T ENOUGH.
The first game of the KSU Ed Charter Memorial Soccer Tournament on Sept. 27 was a defensive battle pitting intrastate rivals K- State and KU against each other.
But 60 minutes was not enough to decide a winner. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.
However, when they played again Sunday afternoon there had to be a winner. After the dust settled from the eight men's teams battling it out all weekend, the intrastate schools were the only ones left standing.
At halftime of the championship game, the teams were tied at 0-0. The worn- down Cats came into the second half exhausted and in need of a spark, sophomore goaltender Christopher Fey said.
"This game was just like Friday night - a defensive battle where both teams were playing well," he said.
The team's only score came less than a minute into the second half from a goal by senior Jeffrey R. White.
"We came out of halftime strong," Fey said. "But that goal gave us a spark. I saw guys getting to loose balls that they may have not gotten before. We really put it all out on the line after we got the goal."
The Cats got the one goal they needed, and Fey kept the Jayhawks from touching the back of the net.
It had been seven years since the Wildcats took the
riding champions to win tournament
tournament title. Not only that, but the Wildcats beat defending champions, KU.
Getting to the championship was a feat itself. The Cats took down Nebraska 3-2 in two overtimes in a tough semifinal game.
In a game where physical play went both ways, referees dished out eight yel- low cards and two red cards.

K-State noticed as half squad turns heads
A MIGHTY FEAT
THREE TIMES A WEEK, a lot of scuffling went on upstairs behind the weight room in the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex. Eight men caused the commotion as they threw each other around on a padded floor mat.
With half a squad, the K- State Wrestling Club didn't get a lot of attention, but that didn't stop them from grappling their way to two conference titles, a ninth-place finish in the national tournament 2002 and producing two Ail- Americans.
"I'm 100 percent confident that we could be national champs if we had a full squad," senior Beau Tillman said. "We have a lot of talent here. In the beginning we were just guys wrestling around and now we've become a team wrestling together."
The men did not receive much funding, so they competed in one tournament before conference and national competitions.
"Imagine going to the Superbowl without playing one game," Tillman said. "It's hard to win against people who have had a full season when you only have one or two matches under your belt. The school only pays for the national tournament, so we're funding ourselves."

Little funding, no coach hardly faze team
by Andi Rice
Another problem was the club lacked a full-time coach.
"It's something we'd definitely like to have," sophomore Miles Neiffer said. "Last year we didn't have a coach at all. This year, Beau Tillman has kind of stepped up; he isn't wrestling this semester so he's kind of assumed that role. It would be nice to have a full-time coach but we've got to make do with what we've got."
Despite coaching problems, the eight teammates motivated each other to spend two hours three times a week practicing and conditioning for conference and national competitions.
"(Not having a coach) makes it a lot more personal," senior Karl Singer said. "You have to push yourself rather than having a coach there telling you to practice everyday. We've got to do the recruiting, and train ourselves and get ourselves ready to compete."
Tillman said he really did not consider himself a coach, just a captain who tried to let club members experience college wrestling.
"It's about having someone in your corner," he said. "When we go to competitions, they need someone to be on their side coaching them and telling them what to do. I just wanted to do that and be there for them."

Midwest meets old west
'EAMS brought bronc busting, bull riding and steer wrestling to Weber Arena at the 47th annual KSU Rodeo, Feb. 21-23.
With 416 competitors and 700 entries, the rodeo was one of the largest K- State competed in. The only thing missing was more K- State participants.
Southwest Oklahoma State's Cord McCoy said K- State didn't get much recognition because they only had eight members due to eligibility, but they put on a great show.
"It's an awesome rodeo," McCoy said. "The only thing I feel bad about is that this is my fourth year and the last time I get to come to the K- State College Rodeo. I love this rodeo. It's always good times, good fans and good stock."
Senior Stacia Wood and sophomore Kasey Lee qualified for the final round, Feb. 23.
"K- State usually puts on one of the best rodeos in our region and it's usually one of the biggest," Wood said. "Our club is very small compared to most of the other schools. This year we only have eight team members traveling to the rodeos and we usually have about 20 or so."
Wood placed sixth in goat tying with a time of 7.0 seconds and Lee placed seventh in barrel racing with a time of 26.37.

"I didn't have that great of a weekend," Wood said. "It's kind of hard to concentrate as much when you are putting on a rodeo because you are so worried about your different jobs and running around trying to get that stuff done; that you can't really concentrate. I just didn't have a very good weekend, compared to how I should."
The women's team scored 20 points, finishing in 10th place.
"We bring a lot of people in to help with our rodeo so it's successful," Wood said. "We don't put it on to be recognized, we just put it on. I think it's a great event for the community. There aren't very many rodeos around here, and I think it's great that they can come and get a taste of the old west tradition."
Other members competing in the rodeo were seniors Leah Tenpenny and Brett Curry in break away and steer wrestling, respectively, juniors Brandon Dreyer and Matt McKinstry, in bare back riding and calf roping, respectively, and sophomore Jody Holland, in barrel racing.
"I didn't do very good," Dreyer said. "I would have liked to have done a lot better than I did, but I had a good horse and there's no shame in bucking off a good horse. I'll get him next time, I guess."

Tournament for anniversary of sport's founding

TWO GUYS, two rackets and a birdie were on the court Oct. 17 at the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex to determine the best badminton player at K- State.
The match between freshman Matthieu Trenit and graduate student Zhefeng Zhao took all of 10 minutes to complete.
In the 130th anniversary year of the sport of badminton, Zhao was declared intramural champion.
"It feels good, but I would like to see other very good players around," Zhao said. "There were some who were even better than me, but they've all graduated. I hope this sport can become more popular and more people will play it."
Although badminton was one of the less popular racket sports, the quick matches took a lot out of an athlete, Zhao said.
"It's a very demanding sport, you can have lots of exercise," he said. "I like the movement control of the birdie because I have learned I can control the birdie. It's partly because I'm kind of good at it, and that's why I like it very much."
Though badminton was hidden in the K- State intramural world, Jay R. Herrmann, senior in construction science management, said it provided an opportunity at a new sport and a chance to meet new people.
"I don't know that it offers anything more," he said, "but it's enjoyable because you get to meet a ton of new people. And I think it's fun to be competitive. Plus, it's a pretty good workout, especially if you're playing someone at your skill level, you're going to be really competitive and fighting for every point."
That competitive drive drew the 1 19 people who signed up for the individual competition, John Wondra, assistant director for intramurals, said.
"It's a chance to compete individually and test their sharpness as an individual," Wondra said. "On a team sport, you're only as strong as your best player, where here you are on your own. It's also a chance for recreation and exercise."

THE SWIM CLUB struggled with low attendance since its start in 1997.
David Sexton and a group of Manhattan High School graduate swimmers started the club when they came to K- State. They hoped to see it build to United States Swimming standards.
"One of the obstacles was attendance and trying to get people interested," Sexton, founding president, said. "The other main concern was the rec services doesn't allow us to use their times as an organized club time. We had to go through and see if the LIFE program would allow us to use their pool."
As obstacles surfaced, the club fizzled out and the USS membership expired.
But, two years ago Scott Allen, another original member, decided to try again.
"When I took it over I wanted to do the USS thing again, and it was going well," he said. "We didn't have as good of a turnout as I wanted, but it was decent enough to compete. We couldn't go against KU or anything but recently KU cut their team and then some other Big 12 teams have been cut out, so NCAA-wise, we just didn't have a chance."
Allen became president and coach of the team and hoped to build it back up before he graduated in fall 2003.
"In the past year, I've kind of built it back up," Allen said. "In the past two years, people just came and went. Our numbers fluctuated between three and four swimmers up to like 15. Right now we are just at a building stage."
With the team registered as a club, junior member Robert Heil looked at it as just that.
"We are a club since we kind of just got started," Heil said. "We all don't really know each other yet. We want to get some more people out so we can maybe start clicking a little bit and get more people involved so we'll feel more like a team. Right now it's just fun and something else to do."

Faculty members take a
PLAY DAY
to relax, golf with co-workers
by Ands Rice
SOME PROFESSORS scheduled tee times around classes to compete in the annual Faculty and Staff Golf Tournament at Rolling Meadows Golf Course Oct. 27.
"I showed a film in my 8:30 a.m. class," Mark Barnett, professor in psychology, said. "I had to bring a projector from Bluemont to Justin Hall and I was thinking how fast I could drag it back up the hill so I would make my tee time. But I did prepare better for the class than I did to come out here and play."
One hundred thirty- four faculty and staff members took a few hours of their day to play away from their offices.
"They enjoy themselves," Mike Webb, PGA golf professional and course manager, said. "It gives them one day that makes their next 30 go a little bit easier."
For most participants, it was a way to enjoy a day with their colleagues rather than a day of tough competition, Michael Marstall, printer specialist, said.
"We end up having fun," Marstall said. "I think we come out here trying to do well, but we haven't come close yet. Realism sets in. We joke with each other all the time."
While on the course, Marstall's group was interrupted by a gaggle of geese.
"They were walking across the fairway and we were wagering who would hit them first," Marstall said. "To tell you the truth, it almost happened."
John Devore, professor in electrical and computer engineering; Steven Starrett, associate professor in civil engineering; Larry Glasgow, professor in chemical engineering, and David Soldan, professor and department head in electrical and computer engineering, won the competition.
"We're very competitive," Starrett said. "It's all in good fun, and it gives an opportunity to work on a task that isn't work."

Hole nine was nicknamed the "hole, hole" because of the hole in the three-piece sculp- ture that provided the target. The holes ranged from trees to statues to light poles and the tee boxes were white half circles with arrows point- ing in the direction of the hole. — Photo by Matt Stamey

Clift has regularly played the campus course since the late-1970s on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when the weather permit- ted. "Virtually every hole has changed in some way," Clift said. "I first played (the course on campus) in the early 70s, but the course would have been completely different then." — Photo by Karen Mikols

disc golf offers different view of campus
IN WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS, five men walked one path on campus most Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
To the average eye, the path winded around sculptures, trees and buildings, but to disc golfers campus altered into an 18 -hole course.
Scott Kohl and Gary Clift, K- State alumni, and Ralph Nyberg, Paul Nyberg and Mark Morgan, Manhattan residents, met at the W parking lot by the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art by noon, and started their routine game at 12:30 p.m.
"I play the course only in order to be out with the fellows and move around a little bit," Clift said. "It's a social opportunity more than a competition. It's one of those homecoming opportunities."
West of the limestone wall separating campus from Manhattan Avenue, a concrete slab laid amongst the trees for the first tee box. The hole was a tree marked with two faded, spray-painted, white lines. After each of the men hit the target they moved to tee box No. 2 in the parking lot.
As the university modified its campus, the course was adjusted to accommodate the new features, which usually became hazards to the holes.
At hole No. 2, the Vietnam Memorial, added in 1989, became a hazard for the players.
On hole No. 9, a three-piece sculpture made of cast concrete and stainless steel became the target.
"Some of the holes have changed numerous times since I've been playing," Ralph Nyberg said. "We used to shoot at the art, but a number of years ago someone told us the art was suffering so we changed and now we shoot at objects around the art. When the university makes a change, we make a change."
Cole said the course was more challenging and more entertaining because of its constant changes.
"There is nothing wrong with change — it's fun," Cole said. "When you're at work, it's crappy because you're working. But when you're playing the course, you're outside having fun even if you're playing bad. A bad day of golf is better than a good day of work any day."

Women join greeks for Homecoming Week celebrations; both gain benefits from additional participants in ceremonies, festivities
OVIA members wanted to get more out of their Homecoming experience. After a one -year absence, they rejoined the greek organizations for the festivities. Alpha Delta Pi accepted the women's cooperative house to join and formed the group of ADPi, Alpha Gamma Rho, Clovia and Theta Xi.
"We decided the more the merrier," said Elizabeth Younger, ADPi Homecoming chair and junior in psychology. "They were a big help and gave us a chance to know more than just guys."
The week was a change of pace for Clovia because of the number of activities members participated in and the number of people in the events, said Cori Woelk, Clovia president and senior in animal sciences and industry.
"We got a lot more involved," Woelk said. "They do a lot of activities during the week and there was a lot going on. We had a great time with the pairings that we had. Our girls got to meet a lot of new people and hopefully gained lots of personal interaction."

With Clovia's help, the four groups earned first place in parade spirit, second in Wildcat Request Live, third in Paint the 'Ville and fourth in Pant-the-Chant.
"Working on projects like the float and Pant-the-Chant — that's when a large number of people from our pairings came together," said Colleen Kramer, Clovia Homecoming chair and junior in agricultural economics. "It was fun to socialize with them daily and work together on this."
The new faces from Clovia added much needed enthusiasm to the group, Younger said.
"They helped with spirit," she said. "They were so excited to do it and added so much to our group. Being their first time, they were more excited and provided more spirit."
The memorable new experiences answered questions about future involvement with the greeks during Homecoming Week, Kramer said.
"We all had a great time this year," she said. "We still talk about the fun we had and so I know we'll do it again next year."

House supports 2 members in campaign for SGA positions
; and Gregory Woodyard campaigned for student body president and vice president, respectively, in spring 2002, they not only wanted to make an impact on campus, but also ran to represent Smith Scholarship House.
Greene, senior in management and pre-law, said the pair decided to run in spring 2001.
"We wanted to try to make a difference on campus," he said. "I was trying to enhance the image of the Smith house — a lot of people didn't know much about it."
Greene said Woodyard, junior in business administration, possessed several qualities he liked as a running mate.
"He's a good debater," Greene said. "He's able to think quickly, and he's a good negotiator. He got us a good deal when we bought our (campaign) T-shirts."
When the two ran, Greene said they did not expect to do well because of their ages. Woodyard was a sophomore and Greene was a junior, by hours, however, it was his third semester at K- State.
Steve Forsythe, alumnus and former Smith president, said the house supported Greene and Woodyard.

"Going into it," Forsythe said, "I don't know if the expectations were real high because they were young and hadn't really been involved in any of it before. But we were really proud because they took it seriously — it wasn't just a joke to them."
House members supported the campaign by purchasing T-shirts and helping in other areas. For example, when Greene and Woodyard were unable to speak at functions, other members campaigned in their place.
Some campaign issues included a campus shuttle system, a different grading system, and the enforcement of dead-week rules.
Although the two were defeated in the primaries, Greene said it was worth the effort.
"I'm proud that we went out and tried, at least," he said. "We gave it our best shot and I think overall the guys in the house were very proud."
Woodyard also said the house showed support after the election results were announced.
"They weren't disappointed that we didn't win," he said. "At the time, they were just proud that we tried."

Completing tasks in cooperation women experience real-world situations, sustain independence from greek system, residence halls
PANS cluttered the Smurthwaite Scholarship House kitchen as a group of women worked to create a meal for 46 others. It was part of their daily routine.
In 1961, Smurthwaite opened with a cooperative -living environment. The women cooked and cleaned the house to earn a reduced living rate.
Smurthwaite continued to incorporate the independent lifestyle, but also joined forces with the Department of Housing and Dining Services, which provided Smurthwaite with a kitchen manager, who assigned house duties to the women, and a student dietician who planned meals to be cooked.
The women began working three hours before the meal was to be served. Preparation started early because the amount of water needed for the large quantity of food took an hour to boil on the stove.
"Some girls learned how to cook, who didn't know how, by living in Smurthwaite," Mary Arnold, freshman in secondary education, said. "I think we all gained a sense of camaraderie

from helping each other out."
Since house duties were based on seniority, freshmen were generally assigned cooking duties.
"Let's just say that it takes a long time for people to learn how to make gravy," Heidi Aschenbrenner, junior in interior architecture, said. "Lots of stuff gets burnt and there are a lot of flat cookies but we have an open kitchen so there is always lunch meat for sandwiches."
Besides cooking meals, house members were required to clean the entire house except for the bathrooms.
If a girl missed an assigned duty, she received a verbal warning from the kitchen manager and was required to do extra duties. After one warning, she was sent to the judicial board.
"Women learn the importance of being responsible for each other," said Jessica Heier, junior in industrial engineering. "We all come from diverse backgrounds and are involved in different activities. We depend on each other which is a unique way to build a community."

j§ Free drinks, music, alcohol awareness education bring ja* Ford women together for safe event, socializing
Whirring blenders, lively music and flashing lights welcomed residents entering the hall's basement for Mocktails Around Midnight, an alcohol awareness program organized by the Ford Hall Governing Board Dec. 5.
The event educated residents about the consequences of irresponsible drinking.
"We wanted them to have fun," said Tanisha Jackson, HGB secretary and sophomore in business administration, "but we also wanted them to learn about the effects of alcohol."
Jackson and five other residents comprised the bartending crew and served Shirley Temples, cherry Cokes and fruit smoothies to attendees.
"I didn't think there'd be that many people at all," Kelby Wiswell, freshman in open- option, said. "I've seen a lot of people I know, and I didn't expect that."
The initial line at the bar numbered nearly 60 residents. Bartender Melanie Lee, HGB educational chair and sophomore in political science, said she was also impressed with the crowd.
Meaghan Abood
"I think the turnout was pretty good," Lee said. "We went through a lot of stuff."
In addition to providing free drinks, the bartenders set up tables with snacks and informational brochures about the effects of alcohol abuse. Attendants answered alcohol - awareness trivia for prizes of candy, pens and lip gloss.
Residents arrived with friends and congregated in groups. Jennifer Orta, freshman in journalism and mass communications, attended the event with two friends from her floor and stayed until last call around midnight.
"It was fun," Orta said. "I thought it was a really good idea to get the hall together like that. They should have things like this more often."
The social aspect of mocktails was just as important as the educational value, Lee said.
"It was a fun social program that also educated the residents about alcohol," she said. "We wanted to have everyone come together to promote the community of Ford Hall and to learn something worthwhile."

animal invasion
Zoo creatures visit residents for education, interaction
RESIDENTS OF GOODNOW HALL interacted with animals normally not on display at Sunset Zoological Park.
"When I first saw some of the animals they brought out, I thought 'oh wow,'" Julia Holman, junior in architectural engineering, said. "I was scared to interact with the animals by touching them at first, but it was actually interesting to do that because it was not as scary as I thought it would be."
Craig Wanklyn, junior in architectural engineering, organized Zoo Animals Taking Over Goodnow.
"I called the program ZATOG," Wanklyn said. "I used the acronym so people would come to the event."
Sunset Zoo provided a chinchilla, gecko, dumbo rat, hissing cockroaches, and a boa constrictor.
Wanklyn said ZATOG offered an educational experience and a different way to engage with animals.
The event also included a discussion describing which animals were good to keep in a residence hall room and which were not.
"The people who had the animals told us what types of eating habits and environments the animals were familiar with," Alexa Passman, sophomore in open- option, said. "Some of the animals weren't recommended to be brought into the dorms just because they are hard to take care of."
Holman said by attending, she learned a chinchilla would be difficult to keep in her room.
"Rather than getting an animal that would be hard to take care of in the dorms, I am going to get a rat when I get my own room," Holman said. "Although I never thought of having one before, it is good to know that it will be easier to take care of."

flags for hope
Residents use programs, banner display to increase ^ students' awareness of hate -crimes
Waving in the breeze in front ofWaters Hall, 9,413 colored flags represented the total number of hate crimes committed in the United States in 2000.
Students participating in Haymaker Hall's Campaign Against Hate used the flags as a visible sign of how hate crimes persisted.
Amanda Blush, freshman in elementary education, said she saw the multitude of flags as a good reminder for students.
"It is a pretty cool display," Blush said. "It reminds you to take time and not judge people by their religion or disability or skin color."
Instead of differences, she said people should focus on similarities.
"It reminds everybody we're all humans," she said. "We should all be treated equally."
In addition to the flags, students attended events in Haymaker aimed at educating residents about violence and hate crimes.
"We did programming in the hall," said Jacob Schuler, resident assistant and senior in art. "We did three other programs: Strike Out, A Day in the Life Of and Movie with MA."
Bryan Murphy, senior in sociology, said he thought the campaign was a success because the information reached students.
"It increased awareness about hate crimes," Murphy said. "Lots of people don't realize hate crimes are a result of fear."
Murphy said the flag display attracted more people to hate -crime awareness.
"We really increased the visibility of the program," he said. "A lot of people stopped to read the sign. By far, that increased the awareness on campus the most."
Schuler agreed the program was a success because it encouraged students to think.
"People would stop, look at the sign and digest what it was about," he said. "The whole goal was to get people aware, and I think we were pretty successful with that."

Residents strive for gold, community involvement in month -long revival of Couch Potato Olympics
normally refer to international sport competitions, but Marlatt Hall borrowed the term for a different purpose. The Couch Potato Olympics began Nov. 17 and ended Dec. 13.
When the games first appeared in 1996, the goal was to involve students who didn't participate in sports-related activities. The games consisted of bowling, shooting pool, throwing darts and betting on the NCAA basketball tournament bracket.
After taking a hiatus from 2000 to 2002, the games returned with more events.
Activities such as bowling and a TV marathon were brought back, while board and card games were added.
"I was really glad to see Pitch as one of the games," Jimmie Klein, senior in computer engineering, said. "It's not one most people would think of."
The Marlatt Hall Governing Board chose the events from a list and James Stoutenborough, hall president and senior in political science, planned and coordinated the events.
"I was the only one around when we did them before," Stoutenborough said. "I thought we would try something a little different this time to get more participation."
Eighty- five residents participated in more than 300 rounds of games. Stoutenborough said the goal was simple.
"We wanted everyone to have fun and get their minds off studying," he said. "We try to make dorm life as good as it can be."
Klein said the games brought people together.
"It was an opportunity to learn new games as well as a social event," he said. "It was good for people."
For students who spent a majority of their time in the hall, it was a reason to get involved.
"I'm usually hanging around," Nathan Johnson, junior in architectural engineering, said, "so I thought 'why not?'"
Stoutenborough said the event increased socialization.
"Interaction between the floors was not always as high," he said. "This way, people can find other people who like to play the same games and then go set them up."

Residents participate in annual drag competition
RESSES were picked and make up carefully applied. Just another women's night out except for one key difference — they were not women.
Men, dressed as women, gathered Nov. 20 in the basement of Moore Hall. The Second Annual Drag Queen Competition allowed female residents to sponsor one male resident as a drag queen.
"This year it was a lot bigger," Rachel Brown, hall president, said. "Twice as many people showed up to watch."
In addition to runway modeling and talent competition, an evening-wear event and question-and-answer section were implemented.
Three judges, two female and one male, determined the winner for creativity, femininity, originality and attitude.
"It was good," said Erica Mederos, sophomore in
psychology and judge for the competition."There were some parts that you were like, 'awesome.'"
Anticipation built as the audience and six contestants waited for the winner to be announced. Loretta, otherwise known as Blake Zogleman, freshman in animal sciences and industry, won the competition.
"It was different, but it was fun," Zogleman said. "My favorite part was the talent part because I got to shake it."
To prepare, Zogleman shaved his legs, wore fake eyelashes, and practiced a walk and song. He performed "Did I Shave My Legs for This" by country artist Deana Carter.
Other contestants' talents included juggling while speaking French and a personalized fashion show.
"I learned that it is rough being a woman," Zogleman said. "I hope my dad doesn't find out about this."

Residents find solution to closed dining center by creating affordable dinner program for students
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. With campus dining centers closed, mom's home cooking miles away and Manhattan dining options a drive from the residence halls, students in Putnam Hall struggled to find a solution for eating dinner.
Enter dollar dinners.
Charging $1 per person, residents from each floor of Putnam rotated cooking dinner in the hall kitchenette every Sunday night for fellow residents.
"Sunday night dollar dinners are one of many traditions Putnam Hall has established over the past couple of years," Scott Tystad, hall president and senior in horticulture, said. "Dollar dinners started late fall semester last year. It was so popular that the program came back to Putnam, and will be carried on for years to come."
The cooks received $35 for each meal from the Hall Governing Board to help avert the costs of making each meal.
"Usually, on each floor, someone gets into it who really enjoys cooking," Bevin Wesselman, junior in biology, said.
"We've had a positive response to it."
Since the dinners' inception, Jesse Loewen, senior in mechanical engineering, has been one of those enthusiastic cooks.
"I made a point of doing it last year, frequently," he said. "I enjoy cooking and I get to do that for free and they get to eat what they like. So it's a good deal."
From lasagna to pancakes to dumplings, meals for the dinners were as varied as the cooks.
"For a dollar, the residents can eat a normally hefty meal," Tystad said. "Even though the hall usually ends up losing about $5 to $6 (total) on the deal, it's well worth the community- building aspect."
Inspired by the program at Putnam, Boyd Hall residents created their own dollar dinners, which proved the program's success, Wesselman said.
"It's a really good time," Loewen said. "It's a great little thing to do on Sunday nights to cool down from the weekend. It also helps us get to know our residents."

^ Van Zile Hall Governing Board organizes shaving cream slip-n-slide for residents of the Strong Complex
Shaving cream and water was all that was needed for afternoon entertainment.
Boyd, Putnam, and Van Zile halls coordinated Water Day, Sept. 15, for residents and staff to get to know each other.
"Basically, it is just a day for everyone to come outside while it's still warm and have fun getting messy with water and shaving cream," said Kelly Lipovitz, Van Zile Hall Governing Board president and junior in secondary education. "It is also a great way for our new residents to get to know each other and some of the complex staff."
Lipovitz said each hall in Strong Complex was like a community, and the event created a community-building experience.
"It's a complex thing," Lipovitz said. "We are so different from all the other halls that we haven't included them in the

past, but they are always welcome to join us."
A large tarp covered with water and shaving cream provided a slippery surface for residents to slide across.
"We covered the slide with shaving cream and attempted different tricks," David Freeze, sophomore in kinesiology, said. "We just kind of made up our own tricks as we went along, from the classic head-first dive to the surfing style."
Despite a cold front during the weekend of the event, residents did not pass up the temptation to get messy.
"Originally, I was just going to hang out with the people who were messing around and not dive down the slide or anything," James Stoner, junior in physical science, said. "I just couldn't resist after seeing how ridiculous the activity was. You can't have fun unless you're getting dirty, and I certainly had more fun after I was covered in shaving cream."

Residents compete in Penny Wars to raise money for MS
WORTH MORE than a jar full of pennies, the women on West Hall's fourth and fifth floors invested time and effort to form a close-knit community.
One of the activities the fourth and fifth floors participated in was Penny Wars.
The event supported Aaron Kennedy, senior in interior architecture and Marlatt Hall resident, on a bike ride for multiple sclerosis.
"Since Marlatt is our brother building, he approached us about the idea," Heather Klein, West resident life coordinator, said. "We took it from there to provide our own incentive to do our part."
Sept. 15-20 the event raised $208.
Both residence halls had jars at the front desk, each with their respective resident assistent, RLC and multicultural assistant's pictures on them.
Klein said the event became a competition between the two buildings.
Pennies added points to the score and silver coins detracted from the score, Klein said. The jar with the highest score won.
West's fourth floor raised the most points and won a chance to make Diana Hyle, fourth floor RA, into a sundae. As part of the terms of winning, Kennedy made rounds through the winning hall wearing makeup, dressed as a woman.
"They had a good time with it," Klein said. "Some were shocked, but I think they had a good time with it."
Chelsea Mueller, fifth floor resident assistant and sophomore in psychology, and Ginger Lenz, fifth floor RA and junior in elementary education, said at the beginning of the year they were uncertain what the women on their floor would be like.
"I came into it kind of worried because this is an intensive study floor and the women are usually quiet and reserved," Mueller said. "But they unanimously voted to change quiet hours to 10 p.m. - 8 a.m., which is average for most halls."
Muller and Lenz agreed the vote set the tone for life on the floor, realizing the residents wanted more of a social environment.
"If we have an activity, it'll be the fifth floor that's there," said Mueller. "They are usually most, if not all of the audience during events. They take the initiative for the hall."

men set the stage for chapter, individual success
Reviving a commitment to leadership, community participation and campus and scholastic achievement, four Men of Acacia gave members tools to implement a set of self- improvement programs.
"We study what makes an effective leader," Joseph Thomas, president and senior in architectural engineering, said. "Our goal is to have everybody in the chapter have some sort of leadership role on campus."
Their vision was the driving force behind the 14 -person group since the fraternity's reinstatement into the Interfra- ternity Council, fall 2002.
Four Men worked with the board of directors to reinvent the chapter after it lost standing with the IFC in 1999. Alumni — called Senior Men of Acacia — approached Thomas; Lucas Shivers, senior in elementary education; Tyler Turner, gradu- ate student in agricultural economics, and Aaron Rodehorst, K- State alumnus, with the idea spring 2001.
"They wanted diversity," Shivers said. "They gave us a cornerstone and we filled in the foundations."
Senior Men funded renovation of the chapter house and the Men of Acacia moved in Aug. 20.
"We didn't have anything to start with," Shivers said. "It was like moving into a brand new house."
As part of the developments, members established a framework for the organization in a 75 -page manual.
Using their guiding principles, members recruited other men who shared the same vision of personal development, Shivers said.
"We look for really motivated men who want to not just get through college, get a job and that's it, but who want to succeed in all areas of life," Brian Murphy, senior in finance, said.
Murphy, the fifth member recruited, said recruitment was slower- paced.
"It's a one -on -one approach rather than the big rush
events," he said. "It fits what we want to do better."
Pledges — named Young Men — were paired with at least one Man of Acacia as Partners in Encouraging and Enlighten- ing Relationship for Success to help them through the process of initiation.
"Once initiated, there is an equal relationship," Murphy said. "They both push each other to better each other. They don't necessarily need us, but with help from all the brothers in the house, they can get to where they want to be." Alumni involve-
ment and input was another important part of their system, Thomas said.
"We look at what they value from their fraternity experience, see what elements they lacked and try to implement them in Acacia now," he said.
• Acacia was established at K-State in 1913 as one of the first four fraternities on campus.
• Five campus buildings were named after Acacians: Seaton, Willard, Waters, Ford and Bushnell halls.
The relationships encouraged Men of Acacia to achieve their personal goals. All members created goals using four key areas: physical, social and emotional, mental and spiritual, as well as a personal mission statement.
"We make sure we can teach the young men to balance their lives and not over- do it in any area," Murphy said. "We do that by sitting down and writing out our goals."
The Board of Directors and Men of Acacia established programs to aid in leadership skills and personal growth.
"(The programs) are a start," Shivers said. "It takes time to find what does work. We want to tailor it to the things they need."

Leader
Student Alumni Board member, chapter officer balances studies, activities, receives recognition with Wildcat pride
to taking 17 credit hours during the fall semester to pursue two minors — leadership studies and Spanish, Mandy Achilles, junior in mass communication, was an active member of Alpha Delta Pi and several campus organizations.
"I make a lot of lists, that's my number one key to time management," she said. "I just fit everything in. I make time for everything, so I guess that's how I balance. I like to be busy."
An ADPi officer, Achilles was often busy with work for the sorority house in addition to her studies and other activities.
"She's an awesome girl," Jill Westoff, rush chair and senior in biology, said. "She's very dedicated and works really hard at everything she does."
Achilles said attending K- State was something she almost did not do.
"I was actually set on going to Butler County (Community College)," she said. "I never took a campus visit to K- State.

Toward the middle of my senior year, I thought I needed to go out and just start right from the beginning and go somewhere big. I decided this was going to be a better step for me, and I am so glad I did."
Achilles's decision to attend K-State brought her opportunities and recognition. She was named one of two 2002 student ambassadors at the Homecoming football game, Nov. 9.
"For me it's a huge deal because it's what I love to do," Achilles said. "Everyone was excited for me. It was so cool to be on the football field. That was just so awesome and it was just another one of those K- State memories that I will never forget."
In addition to student ambassador, Achilles was a member of the Student Alumni Board. Mitzi Frieling, associate director of alumni programs, said Achilles served in multiple roles at the KSU Alumni Association.
"She is a good person with a good work ethic who loves K- State," Frieling said. "She is a wonderful asset to have."

Men undertake a Kansas Kickoff Show in Topeka by organizing their first-ever cattle show in cooperation with Block & Bridle Club
THE FACT THEY HAD never attempted the task did not stop Alpha Gamma Rho from organizing a cattle show.
"We tried to hook something to K- State with a cattle show because we are pretty ag-related around here," Benjamin Winsor, sophomore in agricultural communication and journalism, said. "We wanted something that could make people think, 'gosh, that was a fun time.'"
The men discussed the idea of a cattle show for more than a year before deciding to arrange the event for Feb. 14.
"This has been in the making ever since I started school," Winsor said. "It's something we didn't want to rush into."
Members planned to repeat the event annually as a way to promote the chapter.
"I think it'll bring some attention to K- State as well as AGR," Timothy McClelland, junior in accounting, said. "It all came down to it being a good PR tool."
Brandon New, senior in animal sciences and industry, said high numbers of cattle, sponsors and participants made the show a success.
"We set a goal to get 200 head of steer and heifers," he said. "We've been contacting breeders in the state and asking them if they'd like to contribute."
Ties to AGR and Block & Bridle increased funding.
"We started by contacting former members of those clubs," Winsor said. "Then we branched out and contacted major companies."
AGR furnished prizes, including $ 1,000 savings bonds, for winners in each contest — steer and heifer — Winsor said.
"This is a competition," Winsor said. "People hear about that $1,000 savings bond, and they're interested."
Using the power of cash prizes to draw a larger crowd, New said the show started as a way to gain recognition among other chapters sponsoring similar events.
"There are several AGR chapters in the Midwest, and across the nation, that have shows like this," New said. "They have great success, and we wanted to be involved."
Serving as a promotional tool for AGR, Winsor said the moral behind showing cattle was mainly about fun.

winning recognition
Men bring home the^vnderson Gold Communication Award
ORT to communicate with alumni, the men of Alpha Tau Omega created an in-depth chapter magazine recognized at the national level.
At ATO National Congress, the K- State chapter received the Anderson Gold Communication Award for their Web site and alumni magazine, The Vintage.
"(Communication) is a major facet of what we do," said Richard Harrison, 2002 Vintage editor and senior in civil engineering. "I don't think anyone else puts that kind of time and effort into a publication like we do."
Published once per semester, The Vintage was the work of active members and alumni. The magazine featured ATO philanthropies, social activities, intramurals and awards.
Harrison said the magazine's purpose included keeping in touch with alumni, increasing morale and reminiscing.
"It's phenomenal how everyone gets together and puts out a magazine," said Erik Ankrom, assistant communication officer and junior in management information systems. "It just amounts to everybody doing their daily thing."
The magazine, mailed to alumni, became available online to members and parents in spring 2002.

Ankrom, ATO's Web engineer, maintained the Web site and was chiefly responsible for The Vintage's placement online. Ankrom and Harrison agreed condensing and formatting The Vintage for Web publication was one of their biggest accomplishments.
"It was tricky to get it online," Ankrom said, "but it gives you a chance to show off your creative abilities."
The award recognized ATO's chapter Web site. Ankrom said all ATO officers and William Muir, chapter adviser and assistant vice president of institutional advancement, assumed responsibility for the site's content.
"It amounts to everybody chipping in," Ankrom said. "The guys are willing to help."
HarrisonsaidATO'snationallyrecognizedcommunication skills came from a desire to give back to their alumni.
"We take great pride in the magazine because we realize the need to communicate thoroughly with all of our alumni," Brian Hall, junior in biology and 2003 editor, said. "I think The Vintage is a great way to show all of our alumni that we want to keep them informed of what is currently going on in our chapter."

Kaup, building corporation president, said. "We wouldn't have to worry about that with a scanner. You always have your finger with you."
The system, designed to be simple, consisted only of a palm-sized scanning panel electronically connected to the door's lock and a backup power source. People using the system had to first scan their fingerprint into the central computer. Then the data was taken to the print scanners and uploaded.
House members simply touched the panel with their finger, waited for a green light and entered.
"It has been really nice," Shelley Mclver, junior in elementary education, said. "It's a lot easier not having to remember a code to get in the house."

little sisters
Program gives fraternity a chance to mentor, form friendships with college women, enjoy activities
Active since the 1970s, Beta Sigma Psi Little Sister program offered fraternity members, as well as the participating women, an opportunity to meet and get to know each other while participating in activities and volunteer programs.
Women Little Sisters were paired up with men from the fraternity — called Big Brothers. This allowed for more one- on-one communication and bonding.
"The Little Sis program is a service program but they also get to participate in activities including a formal, messy Olympics and others," Mark Buxton, junior in horticulture, said. "I basically represent the house and oversee the Little Sis meetings as well as keep them informed about what is going on in the house."
The Little Sister group, which met twice a month, grew to 24 women, more than double what it had been in past years.
"We recruit by placing an ad in the Collegian the first three days of the year, along with posting fliers and a lot of word of mouth," Buxton said. "We have worked hard recruiting."
Haley Roberts, Little Sister president and junior in political science, helped organize events and run meetings.
"It is mainly a social thing," Roberts said. "It is an excellent opportunity to meet people, especially as a freshman."
The Little Sisters in the program said they enjoyed learning about others as well as themselves.
"Meeting guys and getting to know them without having to impress anyone is one of the main positives," Jacqueline Moore, freshman in architecture, said. "It is fun to be able to just be yourself and act ornery with the guys if you want. I have gotten to know the guys better this way where there isn't any pressure."

beta theta pi
Fraternity members decorate house, provide evening of fright
to raise money, food for Heart Strings Community Service, Breadbasket
to pearly gates, the second annual Beta Theta Pi haunted house was innovative.
Based on the Edge of Hell haunted house, located in Kansas City, Mo., Betas incorporated their own ideas, Christopher Mirakian, junior in business administration, said. Where the Kansas City house featured a bridge, Betas used crates for a similar effect.
"We didn't have as large of a budget as theirs," Mirakian said. "We had to adapt. "
The Betas spent $300 of the $450 allotted budget.
Planning took one month and actual work on the haunted house began at noon Oct. 31. Members spent six hours organizing and decorating the four floors of the house, Peter Carter, president and senior in biology, said.
"We had a heaven -to -hell theme," Carter said. "People went in the front door down to the basement. The basement was hell, decorated in red with a devil."
The kitchen was turned into a torture room with an operation in progress.
On the main floor, a rave room lined with red made it difficult for people to find the entrances and exits.
"It was a crazy room with strobe lights and techno music, so people got lost in there," Carter said. "Then there was a spooky room with dead bodies, and then a graveyard room with vines and grave stones and a wooden bridge."
The second floor, or earth level, was completely dark, with people jumping out at visitors.
The third floor, all white and lined with toilet paper, was filled with ghosts. Gates to heaven stood at the end of the hallway.
Approximately 300 people went through the haunted house, making it a success, said Joel Gentry, philanthropy chair and sophomore in open -option. Visitors had the option of donating cans of food or a $2 -admission charge.
"We collected 359 pounds of food for the Manhattan Breadbasket," Gentry said. "We also raised over $600 for our philanthropy, which was Heart Strings Community Service."

Sorority women coach several fraternities in annual fall philanthropy to raise funds
Greek organizations congregated for the 15th annual Pledge Games Sept. 22. But one sorority did not participate in the competition.
Chi Omega women staffed the event and raised $14,000 for the American Red Cross.
"Our main (philanthropy event) is the Pledge Games," said Ashley Holmes, philanthropy chair and senior in psychology. "It's a long day and it goes by fast, but it's definitely worth it."
The games took place at Memorial Stadium. Since it was early in the school year, Holmes said the event also served as a chance to get to know others.
"It's a good opportunity for new members to get to meet each other," Holmes said. "It shows them what K- State's about."
Lindsay Friess, freshman in pre-health, agreed with Holmes and said the event, which was a good time to meet people, benefited a worthy organization.
"There was nothing bad about it so I have no reason not to do it again," Friess said. "Being for a good cause made it better."
Lauren Bakian, freshman in engineering and the Phi Gamma Delta pledge coach, said the event would have been chaos without the coaches.
"We go and wake them up in the morning and bring them juice and doughnuts," Bakian said. "It helped get them awake."
Bakian said the games fit her personality.
"I'm really energetic and that's what I love," she said. "It was a blast. I liked the tug- of- war because everyone was totally into it."
During the tug- of- war event, only a baby swimming pool separated the two teams.
"My favorite event was watching the tug- of- war," Friess said. "I liked it when the people who lost fell in the pool and got wet."

informal rush
j§ Members personalize rush events ja* with small, informal recreation night
An evening of bowling, shooting pool and eating pizza helped Delta Chi men get to know potential members during a Dec. 14 rush event.
"We try to show the rushees the brotherhood," Clint Bradbury, junior in mass communication, said. "We just try to get everybody involved."
Rather than coordinate a formal event, the Delta Chis organized a laid-back evening, which allowed more opportunity to get to know and mingle with potential members.
"They're (rush events) pretty informal," Jacob Nelson, junior in sociology, said. "We just like to talk and get to know what kind of guys they are."
Eight potential members attended the rush event, which was the first recruiting event for the school year. Bradbury, who organized the evening, said the men tried to avoid larger events.
"We like to keep our rush events kind of small," Kenneth
Shear, junior in management information systems, said. "We feel like we can get to know the rushees better in small groups."
Shear said the smaller turnout helped men form stronger relationships.
"We become better friends with them," he said. "Then we try to rush them through the house as friends."
Recruiting was a year-long process, and the men planned several rush events, including paintballing, a Kansas City Royals' baseball game and traveling to Wichita Feb. 1 to see a hockey game and eat at Hooters.
"We try to appeal to a lot of guys," Bradbury said. "Rush is what we do all year."
Nelson said recruitment was an important part in maintaining the quality and quantity of fraternity membership.
"Rush drives the house," Nelson said. "You have to have a good rush to get good guys."

Sorority women spread holiday joy To others
LIDAY season gave Delta Delta Delta women an opportunity to decorate and have fun.
Their annual Christmas party, named Pine Party, allowed women to share holiday cheer and spirit.
"It is the time of year that we get together and help our house mother decorate," Kari Baldonado, junior in open- option, said. "We invite neighbors, friends, family, boyfriends and anyone who wants to come."
The women decorated in groups.
"It's really fun because we decorate specific areas of the house as a pledge class," Baldonado said. "The seniors always do the tree, so that is what everyone is waiting for."
Members enjoyed baking and entertaining guests, Baldonado said.
"We decorate cookies and have cider and punch," she said, "Once we are finished preparing, our guests come over."
Baldonado said members offered a traditional gift- exchange, but Pine Party functioned for Tri-Delts to get to know others and enjoy each other's company.
"It was really nice to get dressed up and relax," Megan McPheter, senior in finance, said. "It reminded everyone that
finals were around the corner, but that there was still time to relax and enjoy the holiday season."
The party was a tradition members enjoyed prior to their personal seasonal celebrations.
"It's sentimental," Georgia Mulligan, junior in mass communication, said. "Some of the girls graduate in December and it's the last thing we do as a house."
During Pine Party, Tri-Delts surprised their house mother, Karen Robbins, with a gift certificate to Manhattan Town Center.
"Our house mom means so much to us," Mulligan said. "She gets emotional when we do things like that, and it makes us emotional, too."
After touring the house and eating cookies, members and guests ended the evening by caroling around the neighborhood.
"We sang songs like 'Jingle Bells' and 'Deck the Halls,'" Megan Bonewitz, senior in elementary education, said. "We go caroling to the sororities and fraternities around ours, and to the neighbors that have been supportive, kind of to repay them for just being our neighbors."

the road to the bowl
Fraternity men pitch in to help the Junior League raise money
WITH SPONSORS who usually helped with fund -raisers for philanthropy events commited to other projects, Delta Sigma Phi changed their plan and stepped into a volunteer position.
"We wanted to find a charity that we could make into a kind of tradition for the house," R. Scott Tatro, junior in management information systems, said. "We went to see if we could get any sponsorship from local businesses, but they were pretty much all sponsored out."
However, the Junior League needed help to run its Road to the Bowl campaign.
"The Junior League is a national women's organization that raises money to fund smaller charities," Arnold Ferry, house adviser, said. "We just gave them the manpower they needed for their program."
Road to the Bowl was a fund-raising effort in which men sold raffle tickets at booths in front of Varney's Book Store on football game days. Each ticket was a chance to win an all- expenses-paid trip to the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.
Each member volunteered for a two -hour time slot to sell tickets; pledges took two slots apiece. At four shifts per game,
the Delta Sigs donated more than 140 hours, Tatro said.
Delta Sigs benefited from attention the campaign brought to the fraternity.
"Since we were such a big supporter of the Junior League, we got to do a lot of publicity on the radio," Tatro said. "It turned out to be a big rush tool."
The campaign raised $2,000, which the Junior League distributed to smaller charities in need of financial support, Ferry said.
"This was a great philanthropy," he said. "It wasn't just about charity. It got the whole community involved and excited."
The Junior League was grateful for help on the project, Lori Lavin, Road to the Bowl committee chair, said.
"(Delta Sigs) provided all the manpower we needed and more," she said. "They were responsible for 50 percent of the funds we raised."
The men were glad to have found a rewarding cause to support, Tatro said.
"We really enjoyed helping them out," he said. "We hope to continue this in years to come, as long as they'll have us."

toys for tots
Members collect donations, personal funds to purchase toys for less fortunate children
A bike, an electric- toy guitar, race car sets, a toy- beauty salon and toy- dish sets comprised a few items Delta Tau Delta members donated to the Manhattan area Toys for Tots program.
Andy Fogel, Delt philanthropy chair and sophomore in business administration, said the fraternity expanded its philanthropy because members were excited to participate in the toy drive.
"We all grew up having great Christmases," Aaron Leiker, junior in mass communication, said. "We all want other kids to have good Christmases, too."
Delts collected toys for the charity in three ways.
Fogel asked sororities to donate toys as well.
The women had a month to gather items before the Delts collected and counted the bags of toys. The sororities donated nearly 150 toys for the philanthropy.
Delts set up a booth outside K-B Toys in Manhattan Town Center to encourage shoppers to donate. Fogel said this collection effort gained 50 toys.
In the final contribution to the philanthropy, each Delt donated $15 to purchase additional toys for the program.
K-B Toys gave the fraternity 20 percent off all toys, and opened an hour before normal store hours Dec. 15 so the
men could shop.
Fogel, Leiker, and Kevin Knapp, sophomore in business administration, shopped with the money members donated — more than $500. By the end of the philanthropy, a mound of toys piled in the Delt house.
"The guys are just in awe of the amount and quality of the toys," Leiker said.
The philanthropy was bigger and better than the year before, Ryan Weber, former philanthropy chair and sophomore in marketing, said.
Weber said formerly members contributed $5-10 apiece and didn't have as much sorority participation, but Toys for Tots still appreciated their contributions.
"I remember how thankful they were because we came through for them," Weber said. "Last year the corporate sponsor didn't come through, so those kids wouldn't have had any presents."
Delts were not allowed to distribute the toys to the children because of confidentiality restrictions, but Leiker said the fraternity still enjoyed helping out.
"I'd love to see the kids' faces light up when they see their toys, but under the circumstances I definitely understand," he said. "We're just happy to donate."

delta upsilon
j irreplaceable
* Fraternity members vote to complete house mother's
£
duties rather than fill the vacated position
Managing without a house mother for more than 25 years, members of Delta Upsilon did not find the thought of living without one unusual — until the 2001 arrival and 2002 departure of Connie Coleman. Her absence significantly affected DU members, Aaron Siders, senior in management, said.
"She was amazing," Siders said. "She did so much for the house. She was the best possible person we could have gotten for a house mom."
Spring 2003, Coleman resigned to pursue a job in Salina, Kan.
The idea of replacing her was unthinkable, Siders said, but that was not the only reason behind the decision to go without a house mother.
"The mortgage is high, of course, and we could save some money by not looking for a replacement," he said. "Plus, we could never find one who would measure up."
Coleman fulfilled different roles in the fraternity, and after
she left, those roles had to be filled by someone else.
"Some of the officers took over the stuff she did, like teaching etiquette and keeping a photograph album of everything," Aaron Sloup, president and junior in computer science, said. "We still kind of need (a house mother), but we can cover everything OK."
Finding a new house mother might have still been an option, but there were several factors to be considered before deciding.
"We had a great house mom," Sloup said. "We don't just want a filler."
Before the house could vote on a replacement, Terry Kershner, academic adviser, had to provide a list of candidates he had reviewed. He said screening was not an easy process.
"Personality is the biggest factor," Kershner said. "They have to be able to understand college boys. After Connie, I just didn't think any of the candidates were dynamic enough."

Men unite on Sunday nights for higher level of praise, worship, community involvement
pulsed through the corridors of All Faiths Chapel as K- State students joined hands in praise and worship.
FarmHouse men began Sunday night praise and worship sessions early December with more than 100 attendants at the first gathering.
"The main idea is that we don't want the focus on just us," Jason Graves, sophomore in horticulture, said. "We want it to be on Christ. Our vision is to enter into the worship — that's our heart's desire."
Graves, who helped organize the event, said after the idea was formed it took a year for formal preparation and behind- the-scenes planning.
"A lot of funds were donated toward equipment," Graves said. "People have been very helpful and the guys in the house have been very generous."
Graves said the program was fairly inexpensive to produce because of donated equipment from the Farmers.
The equipment, needed for the live band, included two
acoustic guitars, a bass guitar, a jambeau and singers.
The gatherings, open to anyone who wanted to attend, occurred two-to-three times a month. Each session was one hour long with 45 minutes focused on praise and worship. The remaining time was devoted to scripture reading and prayer led by one of eight leaders.
"We want people to come and forget about everything," Daniel Munden, junior in agronomy, said. "We want them to come to worship the Lord and focus on Him."
Munden said the Farmers were excited about the praise and worship sessions.
"This year we had enough people who wanted to do it," Lance Stafford, senior in elementary education, said. "We had a combination of factors that worked for us."
Stafford said it worked because everyone was focused and willing to put forth the extra effort.
"We aren't really in it to benefit," Stafford said. "The biggest benefit is for people to show up and enjoy the praise and worship."

bond girls
Sorority members spend time away from routine to get to know eaeh other, deepen relationships
Promoting bonding and sisterhood, members of Gamma Phi Beta participated in Loyalty Circle.
Emily Fagan, education vice president and senior in elementary education, assigned a woman from each pledge class in one of 12 groups.
Fagan said she tried to keep an equal amount of women from each pledge class together, but it was not always possible because of differing numbers.
"This was just a thing where the girls went out and did something with each other," Fagan said. "They could do anything they wanted — go out to eat or go to movies. Some went caroling to girls who lived out of the house."
Stephanie Foreman, freshman in psychology, said she was able to meet an array of people by participating in the circle.
"I like that we get one -on -one time to spend with the other girls in our group," Foreman said. "Besides meeting
the other girls, participating in the Loyalty Circle provides a good chance to practice fellowship with members of the sorority."
The circle provided a good opportunity for the juniors and seniors of the house to meet and get to know the underclassmen, Brooklyn Cleveland, junior in apparel marketing and design, said.
"We are set up with a lot of girls we hadn't been able to yet interact with," Cleveland said. "It's a great opportunity for us to meet our sisters who aren't in the same pledge class as we are."
In addition to bonding, the women were honored for event originality.
At the end of each month, the group with the most creative activity during the month received a prize.
"Trying to come up with something original is the best part," Fagan said. "We always want to win the prize."

gifts for the needy
Sorority members collect gifts for underprivileged famnie
with friends and loved ones was a time-honored tradition during the holiday season, but the women of Kappa Alpha Theta decided to give to those in need as well.
Through local programs — Toys for Tots and Adopt a Family — members took their normal gift budget, pooled their money and provided needed gifts for Manhattan's less fortunate.
"This is the second year I have participated with Adopt a Family," Lindsey George, sophomore in agriculture education, said. "If we exchange gifts with each other, we spend the same amount. This way we can pool our money and get what they need."
The gifts were tailored to each family's needs.
"We have a list that ranges from silverware to toys for children," George said. "Last year we were able to help two
families. This year we just chose to do one."
From socks, hats and gloves to games for children young and old, one program offered the Thetas a chance to help out a fraternity's philanthropy.
"This year we are doing Toys for Tots with a partnering fraternity because it is their philanthropy," Lindsay Walter, senior in music education, said. "We will just go to the store and buy the gifts and then wrap them as a group."
Theta members who lived both in and out of house took part in the experience.
"A lot of fifth year seniors, who are no longer active or just alums that live nearby, come back and participate with their pledge families," Beth Ludlum, senior in agricultural communication and journalism, said. "Pledge daughters, moms, grandmas and great- grandmas form a group and they enjoy going and buying gifts for others in Manhattan."

Out of respect, admiration sorority women organize engagement shower for house mother, welcome house father
of Kappa Kappa Gamma organized a wedding shower Nov. 17 to celebrate house mother Michelle Alexander's engagement and wedding to Darell Edie.
The members took time out of their schedules to show appreciation and respect for their house mother, said Amy Metsker, president and senior in speech.
"We really just asked her what she wanted to do," Metsker said. "We wanted to honor her."
The shower included cake, punch, gifts and stories of how the couple met and became engaged.
"Michelle was really excited and open to it," Katrina Boese, senior in elementary education, said. "She said a million thank yous to all of us."
After the Dec. 14 wedding, Kappas became the first national chapter to have a house father.
Boese said it was pleasant having two people care about the house.
"It makes it even more like a complete family," Boese said. "He comes over all the time, so it won't be weird to have a

man in the house."
After the engagement, Edie went to the house to meet the girls. They appreciated that he cared about them, Alexander, senior in elementary education, said.
"The girls seem eager to have a male presence there to protect them," she said. "They think the whole concept of having house parents is a good concept."
After their previous house mother resigned, Alexander became house mother during the summer, a position the Kappas needed filled before rush events began.
"They were in a jam, with it being the middle of the summer," Alexander said. "They needed someone in the house before Aug. 10."
Though the Kappas had a short time to get to know their house mother before the shower, there was a sense of admiration.
"She's kind of our encourager," Boese said, "She always says encouraging things. There's a respect between her and the girls in the house."

Philanthropy project provides enjoyment, camaraderie for participants, raises funds for Breadbasket
Rice and Jacob Walker
HA was more than an organization and a place to live. For the 65 members it provided a home and family.
"We do a lot as a house," Zach Baker, sophomore in business administration, said. "We support each other in a lot of things."
Through philanthropy projects, the brothers spent time helping others. One event, the Watermelon Bust, gave a lasting impression because of the fun and camaraderie it provided for participating members.
"It was a blast," Brian Burley, sophomore in industrial engineering, said. "It was also a good time because we knew that we were helping people, and it was a great time to hang out with the guys in the house and get to know the new
members."
The event raised money for the Flint Hills Breadbasket.
"Since we live here and are part of the community, we feel we need to give something back," William Buchanan, junior in mechanical engineering, said. "Plus, it's a lot of fun."
All the events — Twister, seed spitting, relays and an obstacle course — included juicy watermelons.
For the annual event, house members coached each sorority that participated.
Lambda Chis participated as team coaches.
"We get to interact with the sororities," Buchanan said. "Almost all the sororities participate, so it's a good chance for us to get to know other people in the greek system and get to do fun things with watermelons."

Women organize exercise program for group involvement
T to promote fitness and socialization, Delta Sigma Theta created the Delta- cise program.
The week-long event invited students to programs at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.
"Delta- cise is not just for women or our organization," Kelly Williams, president and senior in psychology, said. "It is open to anyone on campus."
The sorority focused on five points of public service — one was health.
Sept. 23 -27, Delta Sigma Theta organized group activities for weight-loss.
To promote the event, fliers were handed out at the K- State Student Union and information passed by word-of-mouth through Black Student Union members.
The week began with individual assessments at the Wellness Center, where each participant scheduled a unique fitness plan tailored to their expectations.
"I enjoyed going to the Wellness Center," Krista Freeman, sophomore in apparel marketing and design, said. "It's a good way to figure out your own weaknesses and what you need to work on."
Tuesday and Wednesday the group participated in the Kickboxing Combo and Step Aerobics classes, respectively.
Though Delta Sigma Theta originally planned to offer
private classes, the single - digit participation was not adequate enough to hold reserved sessions, Williams said.
Continuing group activities Thursday and Friday, participants focused on individual programs.
Pairs socialized while jogging on the indoor track or using the aerobic-fitness machines while following their pre-determined workout schedule.
"Having people work out with you helps," Freeman said. "When you're doing strenuous things, talking takes your mind off how tired you are."
Morgan Fisher, senior in management, said the peer support encouraged her to continue exercising.
"Delta- cise definitely helped me realize exercise really is a daily routine," she said.
Because a second focus of public service was international awareness and involvment, the fitness week was planned in conjunction with the Race for Humanity, Sept. 28.
Although the first Delta -cise turnout was lower than expected, Williams said many of the participants continued to work out together and the sorority hoped to offer the program once each semester.
"Losing weight is a life- changing event," Williams said. "A lot of us wait until spring break or New Year's to try and lose weight. We tried to challenge people to start sooner."

Fraternity members organize an afternoon of fun and games ml for local children in the Boys & Girls Clubs of America
.ECTING their commitment to and enjoyment of community service, and working with children, Phi Delta Theta men organized a field day for children from the Boys & Girls Club of America, Oct. 10.
Men set up a basketball free throw, flying- disc toss, three- legged race, long jump, football and a water- balloon toss.
The winners of the basketball, flying- disc and football games received the contests' respective playing equipment as prizes.
"I never saw a kid who wasn't happy," Nicholas Hunter, junior in sociology, said. "I don't think they expected it."
House members divided into teams of two or three to oversee the events. All the men enjoyed working the events, William Tate, philanthropy chair and senior in political
science, said.
"We're all for community service events," Michael Arlesic, president and junior in management information systems, said. "No one has a problem helping out with kids."
The event was valuable to the children as well, because it provided good examples of college experiences.
"They benefited from having positive role models — especially college students," Tate said. "It's good for them to see people around them who are successful and going to college."
Hunter said the goal of the field day was simple: to go out and have a good time.
"You learn to give of yourself — to give to society," Tate said. "It's a good thing."

Kruse control
§ Junior sets model example for house, joins health-related %> clubs to advance career in medicine
At school he was a self-proclaimed geek. He participated in extracurricular activities and stepped into leadership roles when needed.
Phi Gamma Delta's Dustin Kruse, junior in microbiology, always put people first, Kurt Niebuhr, house president and senior in industrial engineering, said.
"The one thing I have noticed about Dustin is that hardly anyone knows he is involved in all these things," Niebuhr said. "This shows me that he is not doing it for the recognition, but he genuinely likes helping others.
"Even as a sophomore, he is a great role model for our house and the greek community as a whole."
Kruse was primarily involved with the American Red Cross Club and was selected to the Red Cross Disaster Action Team. Duties included responding to single-family fires and helping counsel victims of tragedy.
"I just like stuff like that — helping people," Kruse said. "I'm a pre-med major, but seeing these situations with families traumatized by something, and helping them out, you learn how to deal with situations like that."
With a cellular phone to contact the Riley County Fire Department and pager from the Riley County Police
Department, Kruse spent most days on call from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m.
"Knowing you have the ability to help other people seems to pull people into the Red Cross," Abigail Maze, club president and senior in biology, said. "A motivated person like Dustin makes a difference knowing the knowledge he has could help other people."
With 17 credit hours during the fall semester in addition to his extracurricular activities, Kruse studied microbiology and planned to attend medical school.
"I like microbiology better than plain biology because I like seeing things at the beginning levels," Kruse said. "It just amazes me how all that works out and just how a sub- organism, like bacteria, does all that stuff. I'm kind of geeky that way."
Although the number of hours spent on activities slowed him down at times, it was the lack of extra time that kept him going, Kruse said.
"I don't like having a bunch of free time," he said. "I don't like just sitting there. I think if you're on the go and you have stuff to do, it's just gonna keep you motivated across the board."

weekend getaway
Semi-annual retreat strengthens fraternity focus
G, goal setting and fun filled Phi Kappa Theta's retreat the first weekend in December.
The twice -yearly event, Quo Vadis, aimed at finding the fraternity's strengths and weaknesses.
"It is the only time every guy spends time together," Paul Restivo, junior in secondary education, said. "We come up with a plan of attack for the year, a goal list and then try to meet all our goals."
The retreat, at a member's home in Concord, Kan., was an opportunity for members to reflect on the year's good and bad moments and get a breath of fresh air.
"It gets us out of the house," Restivo said, "away from Manhattan and cell phones."
Isolation allowed Phi Kaps to focus things about the house, Jonathan Kasper, sophomore in history, said.
"The retreat is definitely positive," Kasper said. "You gain a sense of direction and a positive outlook on things."
Members split into smaller groups to discuss recruitment, socials and scholarships.
"It wasn't just a sit down and talk," Alexander Rossow, senior in history, said. "We also played games."
Along with fun and games, the men focused on issues such as house unity.
"This year there was more commitment and more pride than I've seen in the past three years since I've been in the house," Restivo said.
After arriving home Saturday evening, Restivo said there was a positive feeling between everyone.
"The guys were really pumped up at the house," he said. "They liked the way things are going now."

College football team, Royals, KU fraternity help sorority remember member, create foundation
PI BETA PHI member Alexandra Kemp was killed lune 18 while working at a swimming pool in Leawood, Kan. Her sorority sisters created the Ali Kemp Education Foundation in her memory to educate women about violence and rape.
Teaming up with the Kansas City Royals, K- State Wildcats and University of Kansas Jayhawks, Pi Phis raised $2,000 for an in-house scholarship and continuing safety education.
During the summer, the Royals participated in the Pi Phi car wash in Leawood by giving autographs and signing "Rally for Ali" T-shirts.
"We let them know what was going on and they were more than willing to help us," said Lindsay Courtney, sophomore in human ecology and Kemp's close friend.
In November, Run to Remember Ali combined the efforts of Pi Phi and KU's Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the fraternity of Kemp's boyfriend, Phil Howes.
Pi Phis started the run in Manhattan with a football signed by members of the Wildcat football team. The women drove the football to Lawrence where KU Sig Eps joined them with a football signed by the layhawk football team.
Pi Phi and Sig Ep members solicited pledges from businesses and neighbors for the distance traveled.
The two team footballs were added to two signed by members of both houses and presented to the Kemp family during the K- State versus KU football game, Nov. 2.
"There have been many fund-raisers and events for Ali," Breanne Paul, president and senior in nutritional sciences, said. "This touched us more by far."
At the start of the fall semester, Pi Phis performed a candle lighting dedicated to Kemp.
"We're just trying to remember Ali — her life and spirit," Paul said. "We want other people to know who she was."
Nov. 17, Pi Phis organized a mandatory self-defense workshop to educate about self-protection, Paul said.
Tara Hull, volunteer at the Women's Crisis Center, presented the workshop.
"She told us ways to live our normal lives without putting ourselves at risk," Alb/son Wray, junior in interior architecture, said. "We had a lot of people scared. Everyone was able to take something tangible — new ideas, techniques, ways to keep safe."
Wray said the handouts and information given in the workshop empowered Pi Phis to believe in each other and protect themselves emotionally and physically.
Pi Phis raised awareness and funds for the foundation through donations, concerts and "Ali Forever" T-shirts.
"Ali was my best friend," Courtney said. "My life has changed forever, but I've also realized how many other great friends I have. We are doing everything we can to keep her memory alive."

Members maintain activities, relationships without communal house
I] the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house, 2021 College View Road, was damaged by a space heater fire.
During the 2001- 2002 school year, the men rented the Sigma Sigma Sigma house at 1545 Denison Ave.
Fall 2002 and spring 2003 Pikes were houseless. Members rented apartments and pledges lived in the residence halls.
Because the chapter house was still damaged from the fire and Pikes wanted to put more money toward renovation, so members went without a house, Matthew Wertzberger, senior in hotel and restaurant management, said.
"We had been planning on a renovation for a long time," Chris Graham, president and junior in accounting, said. "The fire was the event that made us realize that the time for the renovation was now."
The total renovation included new fire exits, room alterations and changes to the exterior of the building. Graham said much of the $750,000 needed came from alumni.
"We have some great alumni who have really come through in assuring that the Pikes will remain a fixture on the Kansas State campus," he said. "(But) the undergraduates have played a huge role in the renovation. Some of us have written out

pledges to donate money when we are out on our own."
Phase one of the renovation started January 2003 and was scheduled to end in August. Graham said the men planned to move back in at that time.
Despite functioning without a central meeting and living unit, Pikes stayed involved, Wertzberger said.
"We have worked together to remain close," Graham said. "It's really hard living all over Manhattan."
To maintain group involvement and activities, Graham said the men increased their social programming.
"The actives are good at making everyone feel involved," Ryan McKenny, pledge and freshman in business administration, said. "Chris (Graham) is always offering us to come over (to his apartment) whenever we want."
Besides raising money for renovations and maintaining active memberships, Pikes had a big hand in cleaning up the house to prepare for construction, McKenny said.
"I think Pikes here have shown that they really care about the brotherhood offered by the fraternity," Graham said. "They want to see that brotherhood carry on for generations to come."

Men assist children with disabilities through philanthropy
to place more emphasis on their philanthropy, 12 members of Pi Kappa Phi adopted Push America, a national outreach program specific to Pi Kap chapters, which helps citizens with disabilities.
The mission of Push was three-fold: to raise awareness about children with disabilities, to raise money for handicapped- accessible facilities and to provide services for those with disabilities.
"They encourage us to get involved and raise money to help them fund wheelchair- accessible playgrounds," said Sean McGivern, chapter president and senior in political science. "They also encourage us help people with disabilities in our own community."
Members visited two Manhattan schools, Frank Bergman Elementary School and Lee School, to help children with homework and spend time with them.
"The guys really enjoy it," Keith Richards, Push chairman and junior in business administration, said. "Some are skeptical in the beginning because it's not easy to work with disabled kids sometimes. You have to interact with them in a different way, and sometimes that frightens people, but (the

kids) are just like anybody else."
Dee McKee, Manhattan- Ogden USD 383 director of special services, made arrangements with the Pi Kaps.
"The principals they have been working with have been pleased so far," McKee said. "They always like volunteers."
McGivern said the children responded positively to the program.
"They're used to the paras and teachers," McGivern said. "It's nice for them to have a big kid helping out. We're on their side — they can relate to us a little better."
Once they worked with the children the first time, the members surpassed their initial qualms and enjoyed the experience. The children did too, Richards said.
"People with disabilities sometimes are treated like they don't have a lot of potential," McGivern said. "It's nice to hang out with them and try to be a positive influence on them."
McKee said she was pleased the men offered their time and hoped others gained an appreciation for volunteer work.
"There are still young men out there who care about those with special needs," McKee said. "It gladdens the heart when they are willing to do that in spite of their busy schedules."

Active, alumni members unite to celebrate 90 years of brotherhood, observe differences around community
Founded Jan. 25, 1913, the K- State chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon celebrated 90 years during a March reunion.
The last reunion honored 75 years of existence.
The 2003 event brought more than 350 alumni and spouces to Manhattan for the celebration.
"We have a great deal of pride in our house," Charlie Hostetler, 1960 SAE graduate, said. "The current chapter house was built in 1938 and was considered one of the most modern in the country."
Steven Richardson, senior in marketing and international business, said many alumni had not been back to K- State since they graduated.
The March 7 weekend started with a buffet dinner.

— like about tailgating — with a different twist, from a different time period."
Saturday morning, alumni boarded buses for a tour of the university and Manhattan.
"A lot of people want to see the new alumni center, Bramlage and the football stadium," Hostetler said. "There has been a lot of construction in the last 15 years."
The evening banquet featured guests from national SAE
— President Richard Hopple and CEO Tom Goodale.
The reunion concluded with a breakfast March 9 — the date the national fraternity was founded in 1856.

face off for charity
Fraternity men manage sorority event, coach competitors
DERBY DAYS Sigma Chi's annual fund-raising event, pitted 11 sororities in activities April 26 to May 4 to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network.
"We make most of the money through T-shirt sales," Alex Roberts, senior in biology, said. "We also get some from selling admission to the events and sponsorship from companies."
Sigs divided into groups of eight or nine to coach women competing in everything from lip synching to dance routines.
The project committee met with the sororities prior to Derby Days to discuss rules and event plans.
"We thought we might have a barbecue at Tuttle Creek on Friday," Matt Fanshier, sophomore in milling science and management, said.
Fanisher said a mechanical bull and radio station remote
broadcast increased community awarenes.
Although the event was planned to be fun for everyone, the important part of the philanthropy was the charity it benefited, Mark Gipson, junior in industrial engineering, said.
"The Children's Miracle Network is set up to help underprivileged kids," Gipson said. "They help with medical care and presents for the kids."
The first day of the competition was reserved for a tour of the Children's Miracle Network in Topeka where participants saw the benefits provided by Derby Days.
"On Monday, before we start all the contests, everyone takes a trip down to Topeka," Fanshier said. "We visit the hospital we are raising money for. That way everyone could see how all the money was spent."

sisters unite
Competitiveness put aside when members from rival universities come together for education, bonding
Wildcat fans considered the University of Kansas an intrastate rival, but Sigma Kappa women saw members of the KU Sigma Kappa chapter as family.
"Our sorority is not only K- State," Kimberly Lawson, senior in kinesiology, said, "it's all Sigma Kappa nationwide."
Christen Montgomery, junior in journalism and mass communications, agreed the sorority encompassed more than local members.
"No matter what school we go to, we're all sisters," Montgomery said. "It shows what a powerful thing it is to found an organization on these specific ideals."
Founder's Day, Nov. 9, brought together both chapters to celebrate the yearly event. The event encouraged members to learn more about their organization by sharing ideas between chapters.
"It is important because we forget that we're a national organization," Regan Rose, president and senior in architecture, said. "We share a lot of the same ideas. It's good
to get to know each other."
Rose said members were eager to meet their counterparts in Lawrence.
"Everybody has been open and receptive to meeting the girls," she said. "It offers a chance to know each other and for the girls to meet each other and exchange ideas."
In addition to the Founder's Day celebration, new members traveled to KU to learn about different aspects of the sorority.
"In the spring (2002) we took our new members for a retreat," Rose said. "It was education for our new members. We went to Lawrence and stayed at their house."
In exchange, members of the KU chapter came to Manhattan to attend the mud bowl, an event the K- State women organized. Lawson said their presence was appreciated by the local chapter.
"We get along really well," Lawson said. "We are always trying to support each other."

Through 3 phases members of Sigma Nu enhance skills, gain camaradarie, learn lessons used in all aspects of life
Ethics. Achievement. Development.
Sigma Nu hoped to instill those four characteristics in each of its pledges and active members through the LEAD Program.
The program, started seven years ago, required participation from all members regardless of seniority. It was divided into three phases: phase one for new pledges, phase two for second year members and phase three for all members.
By doing exercises from workbooks and practicing team- building activities, Sigma Nus hoped to gain experience for real-life situations.
"It helps members become leaders," Alejandro Medina, junior in mass communication, said. "When they are out in the real world, they will have the skills to get into the offices. They won't go in with their feet tied together."
Michael Motycka, senior in animal sciences and industry, was a member of the LEAD Collegiate Advisory Board for Sigma Nu nationals. One of the board's duties was finding

ways to improve LEAD.
"Frats get a bad rap for partying and drinking," he said. "To get rid of that, you need leadership skills, social skills and problem solving skills, and that's what LEAD is all about."
Although he did not know about the program when he rushed Sigma Nu, Douglas Berry, freshman in open -option, said LEAD helped break the ice between new members at the beginning of the year.
"The first couple of weeks it brought us together and we learned a lot about our pledge brothers through it," Berry said. "(LEAD) lets you know fraternities are serious and need leadership roles to run the house, they aren't just a place to party and have fun."
While the program helped members in their daily schedules, it also proved to be beneficial to their future, Medina said.
"Employers want to see employees have leadership skills," Medina said. "They will be valuable assets to the company. So people know it will help them out."

Renovation of chapter house welcome after fund-raising projects, member contributions
THIRTY-THREE YEARS after original construction, the Tau Kappa Epsilon house was gutted and remodeled.
Located at 1516 N. Manhattan Ave., the expected project completion was August 2004.
"It's a $1.7-million renovation," Brandon Buschart, sophomore in business administration, said. "We're re - doing the whole inside."
Eric Westerman, president and senior in architecture, said the majority of funds for the project came from alumni, while active members increased monthly bills for three years to contribute to the renovation.
"We just felt like we needed to keep up with the other houses on campus," Westerman said, "We know, in order to keep competitive, we have to stay up-to-date."
Before the renovation, sleeping and studying rooms were restricted to two men. The first priority was to expand the rooms to accommodate four men each.
"There will be four- men study rooms connected to a four- men sleeping area," Brad Simmons, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. "And, eventually, the entire house will be wired with ethernet."
Although remodeling started with individual rooms, the plan included improvements in the bathrooms, basement, kitchen and formal living room. They also planned to turn the entryway toward the parking lot for better accessibility.
"It looks great," Westerman said, "It has changed quite a bit and looks more like an apartment complex, or even a hotel, instead of a frat house."

Fraternity members double their numbers by initiating 6 brothers, increasing recruitment tactics
Initiating six men resulted in Triangle more than doubling its total membership.
With 11 members, Triangle became more involved on campus, said Aaron Fish, pledge educator and senior in hotel and restaurant management.
"It lets us do things we couldn't do in the past," Fish said. "We actually did a philanthropy this semester."
Each active member worked hard recruiting pledges, Fish said.
"It is nice to know the hard work we put into recruitment was successful," he said. "(The best part) is seeing the excitement about the positive direction things are going."
Tom Ball, senior in mechanical engineering, said the fraternity used university- sponsored activity fairs for recruitment. He also said word of mouth helped.
"It gives us a lot more opportunities," Ball said. "We want to stay a viable organization and having the old guys doesn't just give us that much of an opportunity."
A higher number of activities between actives and pledges became a reality.
"We were able to do more projects like the flag football," Ball said. "If you only had five guys, it would make for a pretty disappointing game."
Anthony Grabitz, freshman in mechanical engineering, said the small fraternity fit him well and allowed for greater involvement.
"I joined because they're a group of people who think in a similar fashion as I do — a group of people I can relate to." Grabitz said. "It is great because it gives each of us an opportunity to be involved with the group as far as committee positions go. It's kind of hard to do that with a large group."
Grabitz said he first heard about Triangle from a friend and came to like the group and its policies.
"They want to see us get involved in something," he said. "Each member tries their hardest to help each other member succeed."

took them to the College

Teaching Hospital to
receive help. "It's different
working on the animals,
because you don't get to
talk to the owner face to

stay home with their

the USC versus Auburn

long day of just sitting

Community, leadership emphasis cited as top reasons for living with Christian men, sharing faith
3 AS an Icthus Christian Fellowship house evolved to Lighthouse for men interested in building and strengthening relationships with God and each other.
"It is just a house full of Christian guys who like to throw parties," Matthew Lehrman, junior in management information systems, said. "It is just a big, fun house with a lot of guys and a great community but not a lot of formal constraints."
The 14 residents of the Lighthouse took part in house meetings, spring formals and coffee houses.
"We have live music and make coffee and baked goods," Isaac Dennis, senior in history, said. "We usually have over 100 people come."
Not all members were K- State students. Some attended Manhattan Christian College or worked in the community.
"Basically, who lives here is whoever we find," Dennis said. "We are not popular enough that we can be selective."
Luke Bogner, Lehrman's roommate and senior in electrical engineering, was a former member of Smith Scholarship House.
"There is more control at a resident level," Bogner said. "We do things completely different from a leadership standpoint."
There were two leadership positions in the Lighthouse. The don was the liaison between the landlady and house members. The chaplain looked after the spiritual well-being of members. The chaplain also became a social chair who planned events throughout the year.
"There are a lot of things that would be misunderstood about the Lighthouse," Bogner said about recruiting new members, "but it is truly formatted for a very narrow market with a strong emphasis on community."
WHILE WAITING for
guests to show up for
the coffeehouse, Luke
Bogner, senior in electrical
engineering, plays a guitar
on the second floor of the
Lighthouse while Isaac
Dennis, senior in history
and anthropology, brews
coffee. "The coffeehouses
are my favorite house
function," Bogner said.

Experienced students offer ready-made lofts for hall residents
PILES OF CUT WOOD, ready for assembly, sat in a garage one block from campus.
Boone Burnside, senior in industrial engineering, had lofty goals for his small business.
"It's kind of a little practice for entrepreneurship," Burnside said. "I'm doing it again next year. The money is good, it provides a service and I meet people."
After building a loft for his sister, Burnside said he realized the demand for lofts.
Burnside and friends built lofts for students living in the residence halls. Each loft cost $120, which included room installation.
"We started a week before students got here," he said. "I had people stopping in and checking in on their way into town."
Burnside received 64 loft orders. Jeremy Quint, sophomore in open- option and a former roommate of Burnside, helped with construction.
"I have to give Boone all the credit though," Quint said. "It was all Boone's idea first. We learned about business more than anything."
He said parents, especially fathers, were pleased to find lofts for sale.
"Dads were just like 'how much,'" he said. "Dads didn't have to bring their tools. It was a win-win situation."
Quint said the lofts were a valuable asset for cramped rooms in the residence halls.
"We did it last year and saw how easy it was," he said. "People need lofts for space in the dorms."
Rebecca Cornett, freshman in apparel marketing and design, had one of Burnside 's lofts placed in her room in Ford Hall.
"You have a lot more space," Cornett said. "You can put your desk under your loft. It's a lot easier if you have a lot of stuff. You have more room for a fridge and TV and stuff."
Burnside said he gained a bit of fame from his business.
"I got kind of known," he said. "People know me as the Loft Guy."

Twelve months ago we started production of the 2003 Royal Purple with four goals in mind: to create a simple but trendy redesign, to continue good communication between staff members and photogs, to create more RP awareness and to have a purpose in everything.
The first step to accomplish our goals was hiring staff. We started hiring in May, but didn't have a full staff until July. By August, two staffers had already quit. From September to November we lost five more. By December we hired three students to constitute the staff of 15. After one graduated, we ended the year with 14.
Even though our staff changed faces frequently in the first semester, by December, we had established a committed group who continued to improve the quality of work and contribute to a humorous and productive work environment. We had a good time making friendships and participating in many new RP activities.
Beginning at retreat, a fewkleptos on staff "borrowed" everything from spoons and glasses to "Caution: Wet Floor" signs.
We had a resident deadline chicken — Stanley — and a deadline Ninja. We named our printer Perry so he would like us more to print pages faster.
We sang "Happy Birthday" to our favorite dean of student life. We also listened to and sang songs from Jaci's closet CD, "Peaches" and grudgingly listened to the "Rent" soundtrack for a week after seeing the production.
Over people deadline we went ice skating at City Park where we performed in pair's competition.
And we ate. We had lunchtime picnics under the tree outside and a candlelight dinner in Kedzie library. We provided unique deadline candy for each of our six deadlines. We ate Linda's food, we ate cookies from Jen's mom, we ate Girl Scout cookies; we just ate.
After all the changes, it was comforting to continue several RP traditions.
During retreat we danced on the tables and sang at Joe's Crab Shack in Kansas City, Mo. We carved pumpkins for Halloween. We added hats to our collection of deadline thinking caps. Although we lost the annual RP versus Collegian football game, we dominated over two basketball games.
In September and January we married off the 2000 and 2002 Royal Purple editors in chief, respectively. Continuing the trend for staffers to hook up, four RP-photog relationships thrived despite the stresses of many late hours and pressures of working together.
It was a long journey with ups and downs, but we can proudly say we've accomplished our goals and had a lot of fun along the way.
Our high for the year: Watching the staff evolve from rookies to collegiate journalists and improving our work ethic and attitudes during deadlines.
Our low: The slow start — but it worked out for the best.
Thank you to all who made it such a productive year.
Lindsey Thorpe and Lindsay Porter

Classes, activities and relationships marked transitions in students' lives.
Through seasons and academic improvement, experi- ences strengthened identities while the collective face of the university remained constant.
Students bonded during sporting events, club events and campus programs while striving to fulfill educational require- ments of courses. Studies were taken seriously, but fun entered the mix frequently.
Aggieville constantly provided entertainment for large or small groups with concerts, contests and refreshments.
When sponsored programs were not available, students gathered for barbecues, trips to Tuttle Creek Reservoir and organized sports.
Whatever impacting changes happened throughout the year, ordinary occurrences built a lasting impression and provided a focal point for everyday life.
